Thank you for very kind comment. We are now finishing a predictor, which utilizes protein propensity data for mass-scale disorder and order predictions.

The training times obviously vary on the network architecture, software and hardware. I can safely say you can process 7200+ protein sequence with average sequence length of 120 amino acids in 2h on 2 x NVIDIA Titan XP
what kind of accounts do you use throwaway mail services for? the use case where NBox would be useful for me is sites I don't use often, i.e. a clothing site or online video game store. but i wouldn't trust those to a throwaway email
Ah, so you are involved in this lobby effort somehow? I noticed you said "the closest metric "we" can come up with". If you are you should declare your lobbying interest when commenting. I'm sure theres a site rule about that.

I think "maybe I shouldnt, in general, trust the conclusions of" your comment?

Orthogonal. lol... ummm ok.
Thanks, I also read the article better now. I updated my comment.
I actually haven't gotten any spam through my catch-all emails. Hopefully it stays that way.

I use a completely different domain than the one that's publicly associated with me though. Maybe that helps.
Well, I am pretty sure IoT devices should be designed with security in mind, and that means that they need to be protected against offline modification. And that's something OSTree can't really deliver, but dm-crypt can. And casync works pretty well for delivering dm-crypt enabled disk images.

I think OSTree is great — but for embedded devices that are installed in the wild, humm, uh, I don't think so? I am pretty sure there are better options than that.
Hi water42, don't ever trust anyone with your data, governments and big companies get hacked every day.

True. A water heater tank can keep the water hot for a full day with no power. Even two days will still get you a warm shower. I discovered this during power failures :-)
of course theres a clear winner - distributed power. the revolution will absolutely be consumer driven.

How to improve automated QA for web services
> more easily traceable to you

Depends who is tracking you.

If I register some non-personally-identifiable domain "e.g.: bumblebutt.example" and use a WHOIS proxy, you're can only be given up by a registrar... which usually means a warrant.

Still paranoid? Pay for the domain using bitcoin you got in exchange for cash/services (there are a lot of registrars that take bitcoin).
We have done quite a bit of analysis.

NPS and sentiment analysis is pretty good for elections and predicting social events. Sentiment analysis (or what we call Expert Opinion) is slightly better for predicting stock and crypto movement(s).

We invested last year using our stock advisor:

And this year into crypto currencies:

The real trick, is how we improve signal to noise ratio.
The S3 model means content creator pays for bandwidth, content consumer pays nothing. For the use cases that imgur and similar image hosts provide, that wouldn't work. And as you mention, that's high friction for the uploader.

I don't have a solution to the problem other than big pocket provider offers it as a public service. Somewhat like Let's Encrypt, or Cloudflare.

Edit: I suppose somebody could make a slick interface that uses parasite type storage and redirects...stealing storage from various free services like Google Drive. Offer some kind of karma points for creating and donating new Google Drive, OneDrive, etc, credentials. Would likely get shut down though.
Yes, quite possibly.

They're saying that being paid either weekly or biweekly (i.e. roughly 2 or 4 times a month) is nearly universal in the U.S, and that being paid monthly sounds less sensible, since months are of different lengths.

...Unless you're talking about the difference between biweekly and semimonthly?

An alternative would be getting your bosses approve for you to use Common Lisp.

It is mature (30+ years in use, rock solid ANSI standard), many compilers available for many plataforms, highly portable code, multiple dispatch (CLOS is arguably the most powerful object oriented system available), you can also very easily call C libraries with CFFI and there is portable support for threading...

...and well written CL code will approach Fortran and C in speed, at least with SBCL which is a free, popular compiler.

You can also compile to the JVM and to the LLVM, and if you need pro support for it, there is LispWorks and Franz Inc. Ah, and with ABCL you can also easily call java libraries, if you need to.
As a SoundCloud employee myself, I seriously wonder why you had to post the company name in your question.
Also, I have not yet heard any official announcement of the regular salary review being deferred (which I would also consider a company habit more so than a made "promise").
> I don't think that controlling for variables can produce a conclusion of causation.

Controlling for variables can rule out alternative causal relationships (shared causes between A and B rather than A causes B) as explanation for correlation, but can't rule out coincidence. They strengthen the case for these plausibility of a causal explanation.

Hi Nivi,

I took a look at some data a while ago, and your "16% on average" sounds a bit off.

Is it weighted on the amount of investments, or not?
This is exactly why we need factual drug education prudent age restrictions where legal (drinking age = smoking age), and the normalization of affordable psychiatric checkups and basic information about mental health.

Factual drug information would include these warnings, plus giving lots of folks information about what to do if it should happen. Prudent age limits - ones that can be enforced reasonably - help folks know themselves a bit more before they try it out. Psychiatric care being normal can help catch a few folks along the way, and knowing what to do (per the drug education) hopefully means more folks get help.

It won't stop the "I am fine, it won't happen to me" sort of thinking, but this sort of thing can prevent a bit of it and change the outcome of it.
I think, based on their past, that's a very optimistic "could".

I see no reason to believe that they could do so, organizationally, even if there was a desire to.
Heh, check the bottom right of the website's homepage...
I personally prefer tabs, but as suggested in this article, I do a lot of open source work, and use git for that and my job and spaces seem to win for both. So I use spaces.

Also, amusingly, when IBM hired me (in the US), my contract listed my salary as $x per month. I'd seen it before from recruiters for jobs in London and such, but I don't think I'd ever seen it put that way in the states before.

Yes: the reason they bring it up is that the issue provides a powerful moralistic cudgel against Assange, a threat to their business model.

People own all sorts of things that don't work well for them. Hell, that's pretty much the justification for the entire high-end audio industry.

Objectively speaking, long distance driving is a pain in the ass for an EV. I take a lot of Seattle -> BC trips. I drive to Whistler, Anmore, Kelowna, and Salmon Arm.

I can't do some of those trips on one charge - they are too far. That 238 mile range on the Bolt? You are not going to go 238 miles on the Coquihalla. It's all mountains, and in good weather, the speed of traffic is 80-90 mph. You'll be lucky if you get 150 miles.

And heaven forbid you have to turn around at the 100 mile mark. You'll be calling a tow truck, because you won't be getting back to civilization on a two-thirds drained battery.

Meanwhile, my Prius goes from Seattle to Salmon Arm on one tank of gas. But let's suppose it's winter, and I want to be safe, and I don't want to be sitting on the curb with my thumb in the air, praying that someone on the road has a full jerry can (The odds of which are pretty high) - so I'll stop for some.

When I stop for gas, my total time at the pump is 7 minutes - including pulling off the freeway, and back on.

With an EV? Well, if you want to top up at a super-charger... You're looking for a 40-50 minute wait. Every 2-3 hours of driving. Because the one thing that I'm looking forward to, on my long trips, is wasting more time on a 7 hour drive.

If you have kids or a dog, you may want that hour-long break. I don't, though.

There's a lot that can be said for EVs - I might own one, if I could charge it at my apartment. I wouldn't use it for road trips, though.

I think this is a good idea, but pretty poorly executed again.

Another user commented that you could just register your own domain and do this; that's great for the average hacker news reader, but not so great for the average Joe so a service like this (if done correctly) would be pretty convenient.

Things that jump out right away as bad about this NBox.

1) It just auto generates an email for me. That's going to be a pain in the ass to remember.

2) Wait; how do I login? I literally don't understand how to login to this app short of going to the site and I get auto logged in by the Chrome extension?

3) Why do I even need a Chrome extension to get my email; where is the password protection so I can login from a different device or god forbid my computer crashes?

4) Not every service asking for an email address is a web service. If I sit down for dinner at an Applebees and order a meal a server is going to tell me the appetizer is free if I just provide my email address... and I want that free appetizer minus the side of spam...

As someone else noted mailhero.io is basically the same service as this, but it's big flaw is that the real email address is exposed since it's always included in the provided email address.

spam.u.later@mailhero.io (ah; real address is later@mailhero.io) Also; many other email services (including GMail can do the samething as mailhero using + addressing and adding rules.
Can he provide any evidence that his relationships/friendships are real?

I remember an old post were they get a salesman for a few month, he never sold anything, and later asked for severance payment and equity. He was the viceprecident of something in the previous company. There was a funny detail that he left his special big chair in the office and never passed again to get it. I can't find the link now.

Get everything in writing and reviewed by YOUR lawyer. With an oral contracts is hard to be sure how bad it can be later.

I like the idea in a sibling comment of hiring him as a freelancer until he can prove he can sell something.
Hi toddmorey, yes a well-known trick ;)
The downside is that the + part can be easily removed by spammers.
Or you can use hackernews.really@marak.com and reddit.really@marak.com and only forward *.really@marak.com.

I have learned to keep a personal e-mail address for friends & somewhat trusted people, but never businesses. Businesses (and all government offices, kids' school,...) get their one-time address. If spammers somehow get to it, it is much easier to cut them off, and I also know who leaked the address to them.

Of course, http://www.mailcatch.com/ rules for those one-time "no, I will not let you spam me" registrations.
The border patrol agents continually harass the volunteers and thwart their attempt to provide humanitarian aid. The camps have been very cooperative in getting the individuals they aid to the proper authorities once they've been restored to health. They have no ability or desire to house these migrants in their camps for any length of time.

Thing is, border patrol knows this yet they continue to harass these aid workers who are simply saving lives and getting people to the help they need.

Uber App Gains Long-Desired Tipping Option
Garbage collection is very hard to combine with real time, and at the kernel level it is unacceptable (because it introduces a pathway with very hard to bound latency).

Since that is the exact use case that interests me when it comes to languages such as C, Rust and D I would rather see the whole thing taken care of at compile time with very strict rules about how long it can take to traverse a certain piece of code, especially when it runs on the other side of the syscall interface.

R is very, very slow compared to all the other programming platforms (including Ruby, a nice language but with some of the slowest implementations out there).

R syntax is very unlike most programming languages so jumping to other languages can feel strange.

Awesome reply, thanks.

I'm actually even more bothered by this.

This looks like a super common scenario people in cars face daily.

I acknowledge the technical obstacles to "wide view" forward sensors but wow, this system seems very very limited.

""“The limited time the target is in the field of view prior to impact challenges the system’s ability to perform threat assessment and apply the CIB system. A target is usually recognized very late or not at all prior to impact.”"""

It seems like the FOV of the sensors is not adequate.

The system should be looking backward to assess the danger of a sudden braking?

Sensor fusion should resolve ambiguity via probability... one line in the reporting suggested it needs both systems to "agree" which is a binary, this is probably just reporter confusion.

This system doesn't seem ready for anyone younger then 21 full stop.

If it doesn't radically improve it's going to have many more problems as it gets in the hands of a wider range of drivers beyond affluent people in middle age+.

These systems are "lane keepers" and really the marketing and driver education should be tightly focused around what they DO NOT do.

I genuinely look forward to less humans in control of cars but this is going to be a rough road.
This assumes that investors are efficient at allocating capital, or that individual investors are more efficient than institutional investors.

As an obvious counterpoint: Birkshire Hathaway

A more local example, as an Australian, is Wesfarmers who have persistently maintained strong brands in hugely diverse fields. As a welder by trade I'm willing to bet that the people managing these two conglomerates are more efficient at allocating capital than I, at least.

The point isn't about the functionality of a lambda. The point is that the syntax for a decorator denotes semantic meaning that you don't get when composing a lambda on your own.
In practice, far less data is saved. Tesla's production "Autopilot" saves and uploads 15 frames when there's an "interesting event", according to the NTSB report of a Tesla crash. (There's no imagery of the event where the vehicle plowed under a semitrailer, because Tesla's autopilot didn't detect anything that required braking before or during the crash.)
Look up Macrovision (VHS copy protection from the 20th century). They came up with the scheme, then patented every way they could think of to break it.

> Plenty of men with single mothers* learn to play sports just fine (see many NBA and NFL players).

True but I'd bet that many of these men came from urban areas where the community had services in place for younger people to find older mentors, and generally stay out of trouble.

I'm from eastern Kentucky originally and was lucky to have a fantastic stepfather, but I watched a lot of kids grow up with not much support past their single parent of either gender, and only a few of those I knew made it to 18 going anywhere near the correct trajectory. Outside of churches, there wasn't a lot of taxpayer-funded support for kids with single parents as it was probably a "moral" issue to the local politicians who still find the idea of a single parent family abhorrent and prefer to ignore it.
The fact that the result only holds in this one case suggests that the result is statistically bogus.

Coffee threatened by Climate Change
Botulinum spores need
* Low Oxygen
* Low Salt
* Low Acid

Green Olives are only processed by being in a high salt solution that also contains some vinegar.(Or are lacto-fermented to create the acid.) Essentially they are brine-pickles.

Black Olives are soaked in Lye(very alkaline) until they are uniformly soaked, then put into a acid solution that helps develop their color(They are dark normally, but not uniformly black). The brine is lower in salt also. In order to make it safe for canning, they pressure can it to get to hotter than 240(I've always heard 250, but the article says 240).

Until the advent of modern polymer lined cans, salt would corrode the metal at the concentrations in green olives. So I doubt its a Black = metal can thing so much as...

* Automating pressure canning is easier/cheaper in metal.
* Green Olives High salt, High acid, would corrode the metal.
* Black Olives Lower salt, lower acid, could be metal canned.
Not really, according to the spec the '+' can be interpreted as part of the email address. The approach gmail takes seems to have gained widespread adoption, but it's not mandated by the spec.

This is in line with much of the rest of the globe, the USA does not really have a functional left wing, just two right wing parties one of which is - slightly - to the left of the other.
Agree with all your points except your last. Many websites and services will disallow email addresses with + in them (and they're normally he ones I don't trust, like insurance comparison ones)
Not 140 words, but: https://named-data.net/project/execsummary/

Essentially the big change is that instead of using addresses for servers what if you put addresses on the data itself. That approach gives some properties:

- network can cache the data - no CDNs needed, no slash dot effects etc
- free multicasting (a hard problem at scale with TCP/IP)
- better handling of slow/lossy network
- easy multipath routing

etc.

It's very efficient for things that can potentially have many people interested in. Like streaming popular videos, hosting images (like discussed here imgur). The benefit for these sites is that they would have lower costs to operate because they would require less bandwidth, because anything that's popular will be cached by the network.

Edit: Also: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Named_data_networking
