For good or ill, this article isn't based on single paper but a range of papers from a group of authors.

It's still legitimate to critique the approach but I don't think you can simply pick apart a single paper to do that.
CoffeeScript 2 will compile classes to ES6 classes, among other changes. So the output should be more readable than it was previously.
A precedent to quote would be Kodak, which for 100 years was very dominant in film/imaging.

At one time, they were even the largest maker of lenses in the world, also. So influential that even today, Rochester has smaller optics companies that are world class.

Kodak was not stupid - they designed the very first DSLR sensors and still make high quality monochrome and color sensors today.

They knew that there would a film/digital transition, even tried to plan for it.

However despite all that, the inertia of their business pretty much killed them (along with some dumb ideas, poor middle management).

Lead poisoning and 'bad work ethic/poor impulse control' can look very similar.

However, poor work ethic as a mental shortcut plays into the just world viewpoint. Where lead poisoning contradicts it which is IMO why so many people think in terms of work ethic.
I'm one of those Karate dudes.

A big part of martial arts training is awareness and readiness. If you're already in close quarters with a knife wielding attacker you've already failed and it doesn't matter if you carry a knife, a gun, a stick, or a flamethrower. You have to always be ready and you have to sense the intentions of would be attackers. Easier said then done...

The psychological factors are what you train for.

Those fighting arts come to us from the messy realities of the past. If you were a Samurai in Japan you were always ready to fight for your life against much scarier weapons than a knife. But getting that sort of mentality takes a lot of work, it's more than a hobby...

Nice work lowering the entry barrier for machine learning in this space, which appears to be the aim of your company, but it's a bit of a tease to claim your data representation is great for supporting ML and stop short of doing any of that in the manuscript. I take it that's the next step?

On that note, is there any reason why the propensity classes alpha/beta/coil are still so widely used? Especially coil/turn/"other". It seems to me that these are ancient artifacts of structural biology that could definitely restrict human understanding of protein dynamics. Perhaps there is nuance in the chemical shift data that may help the design of better structural classes using ML.

I believe your analogy is flawed unless there has been some massive shift in the chip industry that invalidates a large body of pre-existing knowledge about the industry.

How is today's chip industry compared with yesterday's chip industry as dramatic of a shift as going from oil to batteries? That seems like a much more significant leap than x86 to ARM. What am I missing?
Psychological research indicates that "stressors" associated with poverty impair executive decision function such as ability to prioritise medium term goals (get to work on time) versus short term desires (stay in bed).
Stressors include not only practical items such as not having food for breakfast or not having clean clothes, but also "low social economic status" itself.
That's a decent picture of how complicated it can be, though not entirely accurate. For example, some homeless people do have cars and sleep in them. (I do not, but some do.) Being homeless does not necessarily mean being carless.

I actually spend several hours a day at a library with wonderful and supportive staff who do not hassle me. I do resume work online( http://micheleincalifornia.blogspot.com/) and I work for a writing service and I blog. In recent years, ad money has dropped across the board for websites, not just mine, due what I call The Adblocker Wars. Most of the traffic on my personal blog is from HN and the vast majority of it uses adblockers. People on HN tend to not want to tip. Remarks on HN over and over indicate that if you don't like starving, instead of writing, you should go get a real job (like programming, apparently). Meanwhile, they expect good quality content to be available. I have bitched about this on my blog:

So even with arranging my life where I have regular access to the internet, have no need to meet clients in person and so forth, I still have a lot of trouble turning my work into an adequate income stream. This is in spite of having six years of college and enough mojo to garner more than 19k karma on HN in spite of my gender. As far as I know, no other woman has karma in the 5 figures. They are all below 10k. (And before the hecklers tell me this is not evidence of anything: MEN on hacker news are routinely told they must be really smart, because they have a lot of karma on HN. I am the only person that says that about me and, inevitably, someone shoots it down instead of going "Holy Cow! Because you are a woman, your karma should be assumed to be worth like triple what it is for a man!")

But thank you for chiming in.

The article makes no such claim about the iPhone. The only evidence you cite is the app store. That does not refute that Apple intended on building, from the start, a "more personal computer" that "reduces the phone to an app" and "gains concessions from [carriers]". That's exactly what the original iPhone was and still is. It even launched with support for 3rd party (web) apps.
Ask HN: Intro to programmatic video?
Does anyone have any resources around generating video programmatically and how it's used in the world? All specifics seem to be a closely guarded secret.

Examples would be TV News tickers, video that are clearly generated automatically from breaking news; sports broadcasting where dynamic information about the game is put on the feed or even stuff like the Facebook 'Friends Day' video where your information is put in a template?

Software Engineer @ a big tech firm : I like the fact that the work engages me to a reasonable degree. I am okay @ coding and I like it to an extent - it keeps me engaged, which is a massive plus. My co-workers are fantastic, which makes the job better. Needless to say, the money helps a lot, which lets me enjoy my weekends and other times.

Ofcourse, I yearn for a life where I am free and completely in control, doing something I like, but I really appreciate the fact that I have a job that keeps me going as well.
If we accept your "unreliable worker" theory, have you considered that there are outside factors besides a lack of "work ethic" (which is some real quality bs to begin with) that would make a person unreliable? If you have, what were they and why were they ruled out?

I find that people that make the work ethic argument are the ones that don't want to acknowledge that they didn't exactly earn their place. They think they rose to their position purely by their own work ethic and that makes them intrinsically special and possessing traits that others are deficient in.

Yeah, I think that's a trope that needs unpacking to be credible.

If anything, I would say women tend to be more inclined to sharing and talking about their emotions. Men tend to try to hide them, or fight them. Which often pushes us down a progression of more extreme emotions, rather than gently easing ourselves back to center.

Fighting/denying our emotions also causes us to try to rationalize perceptions driven by our emotions, by ascribing them to the world around us. Because that's a false attribution, it makes it harder for our teams to get an accurate picture of the world outside our emotions.

Well, depends on the politicians who drafted it. Brussels is necessarily a very diverse place. The three official working languages of the commission are English, French and German. I hear German is not that popular, though, so it's mostly French and English. I would guess the politicians lean towards English and the bureaucracy towards French, if nothing else then simply because Brussels is mostly a French-speaking city.

Clone the plants or sequence the DNA?
U.S. Student Freed by North Korea in a Coma Has Died at 22
We have gotten pretty good at getting DNA from dried samples (for example herbarium sheets).

Cloning doesn't always work. You might be able to get to a callus (undifferentiated mass of cells), but moving from that point to a something that looks like a plant, with roots and leaves and that can grow in soil requires a lot of trial and error. Also money; field botany gets almost no grant money. In fact, the NSF just recently decided to end dissertation improvement grants for most areas of field biology.
Apache is stable, rarely any security related issues; and even then, it's usually a module not installed/enabled by default.

Nginx and Apache are about the same performance, assuming you are on 2.4.x and using the latest apr/apr-util/apr-iconv. The memory footprint is about the same and benchmarks are about the same.

Nginx still hard codes libc options that I have to undo in the Makefile each time to get the glibc hardening options enabled. (PIE, Full RELRO, stack protector and so on) I have not tested the last 3 or so releases, so maybe Maxim has resolved this?

I prefer Apache for anything CGI related, as the security is more tightly coupled to the webserver. With NGINX, I have to use another daemon that has it's own security settings, environment, etc.
Hopefully you will have better optimization of providers in the future, allowing for better pricing.

For instance, arriving at SVO (Sheremetevo airport in Russia) you want $735 for meet and greet and transportation help.

Yet local pricing for transportation into Moscow is no more than $75 for the one way trip (SVO is a bit outside of Moscow proper) and, well, very capable translators are available for what, $50/hour or less? I've paid as little as $10/hour, though not at the airport.

SVO already has express lanes IIRC for USA citizens at least. You should either have this info noted or possibly figure out how to integrate this into your service.

How about making positive proposals of your own instead of negating everyone else's? Clearly many people find the existing rules and practices inadequate and propose heavy burdens of responsibility commensurate with the substantial incentives and rewards that accrue to success in business.

CEOs are not an oppressed class groaning under the burden of social structures that keep them locked up in the C-suite. Even if they are confronted with draconian penalties for naive misadventure, most CEOs of medium and large firms can afford A+ legal representation. If you're more worried about them than you are about the potential first and second-order effects upon tens or (in this case) hundreds of millions of people, then you are essentially choosing to be a pawn of the powerful.
Things runs fine in RPi3. I can't imagine why you'd use this awfully supported board over that one.
Or maybe they're just not rich. Because you have to be rich to live--and especially to buy--in most cities' walkable parts in the US. Not even just middle class but upper class. And even if you can afford it, it often doesn't make financial sense. For less than a studio or one bedroom, I can get a 5 bedroom house 20 minutes away by car. And I don't have to pay extreme HOA fees, essentially private taxes. I hate driving / would love to walk places too. I just can't afford it.
I had to look up teachyourselfcs[1]. I haven't tried the resources, but the subject matter appears to cover standard undergrad BS in CS concepts.

The simplest answer is just to parity the math courses of a Berkeley / MIT / Stanford CS degree, although it will likely be a little overkill, especially if you intend to limit yourself to a strict subset of TYCS. For example, databases and networking generally require very different math prereqs than computer graphics or machine learning.

You will need a high school level of math (grammar school math, algebra, trigonometry, basic stats) to be able to program most things.

Discrete math is used heavily in many parts of CS (it is integral to understanding how to accurately negate programming expressions).

You should probably understand calculus at a high level, although my experience with actual calculus usage in my career is zero.

Probabilities are used heavily in concepts like caching / performance, which will touch OS, arch, data structures, and likely others. For this, you should find a "statistics for engineers" type of course / book for undergrads, which may or may not make use of calculus to prove some of the statistical concepts.

Linear algebra is used heavily wherever graphics cards are used, so graphics, video, machine learning, etc. Linear algebra will likely have calculus as a prerequisite.

Modulo math is used heavily for cryptography and some data structures (hash tables). An undergrad will get a few days or weeks of this, and probably not an entire course.

Set theory and graph theory are used sporadically. Networking, distributed systems, etc will make use of them.

Hope this helps.

Thatcher was too soft. The UK gave up HK for nothing. They could have milked china for billions by making the terms a sale rather than just returning the land to them. The UK had to give up the new territories in 97 but could have kept kowloon and hong kong island which would have forced china to setup border checks/customs in the middle of the city which would have been impossible without tearing down hundreds of buildings. Without borders goods would have freely flooded through kowloon into the mainland and vastly disrupted the economy just look at the fact that today thousands of tons of goods are hand carried across the HK border to avoid paying tariffs.

Thatcher showed her hand early and made it clear she carried more about stable trade for the UK in HK. Once she let the chinese know that is what she wanted they knew they could ask for anything because if the deal failed the economy in HK would collapse.

"By no means perfect" doesn't mean "isn't perfect", it means "it's actually quite a long way away from being perfect".

I check in on the state of Fi every so often, and from what a lot of users are saying about it, it seems to be at best beta quality, and that's using the handful of officially supported devices. Perhaps in the countries you've been to with the device you use it's fine, but it doesn't seem anywhere near as reliable as picking up a local SIM.

Throw in the fact that it's not officially supported for most devices and that it's only available in the USA makes it a complete non-starter for me.

Also:

> if you insist on using a different device.

Having a device that Fi doesn't support isn't me being unreasonably stubborn like you seem to think. If Fi doesn't support the device that I use, that's Fi's shortcoming, not my own.
Its funny that the exact opposite argument is being made in the Time Warner / Snap comment section:

And here's the thing that concerns me: Netflix, on a tech level, is pretty much a solved problem. There's stuff left to be done for sure, rust never sleeps, but they're pretty much good to go tech-wise. The content side of their business is an existential struggle, and getting original content right is IMHO a do-or-die proposition for them. They did a pretty damned good job because they have to.

Muscular atrophy certainly is the result of adaption over time. Pissing your pants when you get scared enough is also a product of adaptation. But neither is particularly convenient for a modern human today, which is clearly the actual point of the post above.

Reflexive lack of empathy for people in proportion to the degree you have power over them may be a logical product of the evolution of the human organism. But it might not be something a democratic society benefits from in its leaders, to bring thing back to the topic.

Interesting.

For those who don't follow this, in many ways this experiment has, in my view, shown signs of failure.

China also almost surely has arrested/kidnapped Hong Kong citizens (authors) in Hong Kong who push for democracy.

Beijing is seen to have an increasing amount of political influence on Hong Kong. Hong Kong does not have the independence to create a democratic system.

Hong Kong people don't feel like they can control much... so most just go about their day to day lives. They don't like Beijing's power, but what can they do? This is not the way the British agreement was set out ("One country two systems"). Unfortunate, but probably predictable.
