I'm sorry for your loss. First off you don't owe anyone anything you can break down you can do what ever you need to do it's ok, death is hard to deal with and no one deals with it perfectly. We each deal with it in our own ways. The rest of this post is just how I deal so take it with a grain of salt.

I don't think you can't look at it as your dad is gone rather you've got to look at it as his time has ended. And now that it's ended it's time to reflect and remember the times that you cherish and the good times the two of you had together and the stories of the good times that the rest of your family had together. Death is a terrible thing to go through but remembering the best makes it sting a little less.

Also I know that this is HN and most folks on here are Atheist or Agnostic or what ever but there is a lot of comfort to be found in your faith during this time.

I truly am sorry and for what it's worth I pray that God will bless you and your family and keep you in these troubling times.
Then put them in the back while you drive a careful 50km/h the first few clicks before and after the border.

The point is, I'm actually amazed at the downvotes, and that people aren't naturally, viscerally having a more human response -- "For heaven's sake, can't I think of a way to help these people? They're fearing for their lives, after all!" -- rather than the response described in the post I was responding to: "Oh shit, it's risky/complicated! Avoid, avoid!"

Especially given this history, among other sordid events in the past:

Erik could toss it to someone in CSAIL to monetize, if he wanted to. There was a group I worked with that collaborated with him for the math for some folding robots.
> These trucks often have 1,000,000+$ worth of cargo.

That's true, but the problem is which one? Most of them are dry vans that you don't know what's inside, and/or not worth the risk. My loaded trailer was once opened and they didn't touch the merchandise. The only loss was the lock.
I'm also from Argentina and I support this.
Pardon me sir, but you are talking out of your ass.
Right. I was doing a matrix transform on the AABB. I removed the need to do that by having a lookup table of already-rotated BVHs.
yes, remember when that New York Times article came out about Amazon's toxic work environment?

Every employee has a different experience. A huge of chunk of Amazon's employees said they didn't recognize the type described in the New York Times. There is a huge bias when you're interviewing former employees. It is largely possible a number of theses former employees were actually low performing (hiring mistakes do happen) who deserved to be fired and/or had problems building relatinships with their fellow coworks/supervisors.

Uber's situation could be similar to Amazon's.
I'm not saying Travis or Uber is completely innocent. I'm just saying we don't have all the facts and often times the media does get it wrong and have their own motivations to slant the truth.

Awesome answer, thanks!
Linksys security guy here - we got that firmware update tidbit from the cherryblossom documentation.

The firmware implant (aka flytrap) reproduces all of the router's normal functionality. On page 122 of the cherryblossom docs, it says that the firmware upgrade feature is implemented normally by the flytrap, and that if a user attempts to upgrade their router's firmware, it will overwrite the flytrap firmware.
I think the headline here is misleading. What they are offering is a prize to decentralize the internet - the actual network to which people connect in order to use the web. Judging from the other comments here, I don't think a lot of people have actually read the article.

IPFS and blockchain are technologies that are built on top of the internet - they assume a network connection already exists.
The question open to debate is whether one can succeed in the taxi business without being a brash, assertive a-hole, whose opponents include brash, assertive taxicab medallion owners and drivers as well as politicians bought by them. Even Lyft's current expansion was somewhat facilitated by Uber coming to town and strong-arming the municipality into legalizing ride-sharing.
It's somehow symptomatic that two of the eloquent replies below are:

"Some of us think that the similarities Uber has to other tech companies in this area is an indictment of these other companies, not an excuse for Uber."

and

"Uber is not just like every other company. That's seriously some "boys will be boys" type thinking to excuse the messed up behavior of a certain few."

It seems interesting (and characteristic of bellicose group discourse) that either of these arguments, which of course contradict each other perfectly, will do as well as the other. I think you hear each of them about as much. But generally not in the same place and never by the same person.
This. Looks. Awesome!

I literally cannot wait to try this out on some data processing/number crunching stuff!

The integrations with the likes of Python are super exciting as well - any plans (even remote ones) to do the same with Julia?

You must've been lucky, if you check the forums there's a trail of people who had hardware issues, there was a known issue. And they simply stopped responding to anyone. I spent $80 and got thoroughly ripped off; it was a half assed effort and they deserve to go under.
We use math as a framework for reasoning about physical reality. When doing this we assume that the logic of our math holds for physical reality and that we can use it to make useful predictions.
If a mathematical theory has held up so-far then that is evidence that it will continue to. It's not a guarantee, but it is evidence.
This FB post is referred to in the article, written by a woman who is very, very supportive of TK:
https://www.facebook.com/margaretann.seger/posts/10214004058...

1000 people have "liked" the posting including Zuckerberg and a number of women have commented in support of TK.

EDIT:

This is from the FB poster, Margaret-Ann Seger. Other women seem to confirm her perspective. If it were truly a sexist culture as was claimed then you wouldn’t be seeing these testimonials. It suggests that despite everything, something else is going on.

“Thank you for creating a culture where- as a woman- it was okay to, no, encouraged to speak up. This is one of my oft less-told anecdotes, but I feel it's appropriate given the circumstances. Before Uber, I was at Facebook. I left Facebook because I was told that I was too aggressive. Pushing too hard, wanting to move too fast, challenging the status quo a bit too much. The amazing part is that coming to Uber was like a homecoming. I could be who I truly am, without being labeled an "aggressive" woman. I could push on assumptions, move quickly, do whatever work needed to be done whether it was "in my area" or not, question leadership in an open, earnest environment. It was like a breath of fresh air. I don't think people realize how unique this is. This company truly listens to every voice, from the VPs all the way down to the junior PMs like myself. Thank you. Thank you for listening and creating an environment where the best answer truly does win.”
Perfectly explained
Also as a result of developing VS Code they've made HUGE improvements to Visual Studio 2017. If anyone had been programming .NET Core with VS 2015 and switched to VS 2017 you know what I'm talking about. I went from waiting 12 seconds for my project to compile to blinking and Chrome is opening up. Of course you have to turn off their browser debugging integration, that thing just sucks up so much dev time if you're not using it at all.
In general, simulated annealing is hard to parallelize.

But in this case we also tend to get stuck in local minima a lot, because they are very deep troughs in the search space. (Annealing does still perform much better than hill climbing though, so it's still worthwhile.) So we can run multiple annealings in parallel and pick the best result.
Tbh I couldn't. For one I wouldn't be comfortable doing it and for another it takes great courage to take on a project this size. So I couldn't do it for these two reasons alone and probably many others (skills) besides.

I have an iPlan fiberoptic line 10/10 and it's a really stable 10/10. I don't need big downloads all of the time just a reliable connection for (video)conference. Other parts have 100/100 or 50/50.
More flexible static type systems can help, but they don't address the fundamental problem that they are trying to make a strong statement at development time about something that isn't known until runtime.

This pushes dealing with the problem (of what if something isn't the expected type/is malformed/is missing/is incomplete) to the wrong place, causing unnecessary complexity, dependencies and bugs.
This post mentions how the text storage has already been moved to C++, and the possibility of moving parts of the rendering to C++ as well. Is this part of a trend for Atom to move at least key components to C++ and away from the web stack? Or am I off base with this thought and it's been lower-level to begin with, but these are just optimizations on that?
Attempting assassination is just a last show of selfish, pathetic despair, and only makes things worse for the rest of us.

I get it, OK? As I think I've made it abundantly clear, I don't advocate (and and certainly not the least bit romantic about) the "revolutionary violence" route.

It's that this pigeonholing of street-level malefactors as "violent nutjobs", while pretending that those at the top (especially the likes of Erdogan and Putin) who stand patiently at the sidelines† while others enact "nutjob violence" on their behalf -- are to be considered as somehow in a different category than their street-level counterparts -- that I don't buy either.

† Quite literally, as we all saw in Erdogan's case a just a few weeks ago in the U.S. capitol.
Long stretches on open highway will be the first place we allow drivers to be completely hands off.
"It's kind of sad that the Internet has become optimized for this type of witch hunt."

i don't understand why this statement was included. the internet is optimized for all sorts of things. also, before the internet, print/paper was "optimized" for witch hunts. and before that, there were literal witch hunts. it has been plenty optimal.

if there's proof, it's not a witch hunt. when david bonderman implied that women talk too much, that's not a witch hunt. here's a bunch more: https://www.theguardian.com/technology/2017/jun/18/uber-trav...

i think you might be trying to say there's excessive PREJUDICE against people who work at Uber who have nothing to do with the sexual harassment, etc. but even on that level, it's unclear how much blame you should get if you remain complicit and support a group you know is willfully ignorant of issues like harassment. just because you and the person in the cubicle next to yours don't experience harassment doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
In some zones you have symmetric fiberoptic lines. To your house too if you want to pay that premium (I do).

Ask HN: Is spending on GitHub universe sponsorship good idea?
We are 1 year old startup from Japan. And we wanted to do some sales in America. And github universe event is coming up and I saw their sponsorship offers where you can display your brand etc. And pricing is in the range 30k dollars. Last year's reference: https://github.github.io/githubuniverse-web-2016//pdf/universe-prospectus.pdf

Do you think its a good idea to spend on github universe sponsorship to advertise the product?

Due to the way RAM works, you also always have a use for more RAM. Chrome is slowing down other programs on your system by using more RAM, so it's not using more memory in exchange for speed, it's sacrificing the speed of the rest of your system to speed itself up.
To get an accurate comparison you should probably just include the mortgage interest at 4 or 5% (closer to long-term mortgage rates, and similar to the income you would get from equities), and also include property tax, maintenance, etc. The principal can be thought of as building up equity, similar to a renter putting their spare cash in the stock market.

When you run the numbers for places like Vancouver and Toronto it's probably cheaper renting, small towns in the prairies the opposite might be true. We're paying $1250/month to rent a nice $200k townhouse on Vancouver Island, so the numbers are similar either way when you factor in property tax, water, etc., and we don't have to worry about maintenance.
1-based arrays, and column-major layout of arrays annoyed me at first, however, one of the beautiful things is that much of Julia is written in Julia. If you want 0-based (or arbitrary based!) arrays, then simply use the https://github.com/JuliaArrays/OffsetArrays.jl package, and PermutedDimArrays have been added to Base, to handle some of the issues of dealing with row-major (and other sorts of memory layout) matrices.
VDSL is certainly not a "dead end". 50Mbit is available in most of Germany, with 100Mbit slowly rolling out.

A lot of people will opt for the cheaper standard DSL though (<16Mbit), which I suspect is what brings down the average. In the US you have little choice but to pay obscene prices for a very fast cable line, usually with a monthly cap.
A factory reset _is not_ enough. A factory reset will just clear a part of the NVRAM that holds configuration - any firmware implant will still be on the device.

There were no vulnerabilities included in the cherryblossom leak. The firmware implant deployment instructions included in the leak don't mention using any vulnerabilities either.

Almost all of the devices listed in the cherryblossom leak are not being sold anymore.
They seem to be adopting a more react native-like mindset of using React to orchestrate what should be happening, but have native code running lower level components. I wouldn't call it "moving away" from the web stack, just having it do more delegating, and less of the nitty-gritty.
>The headline is based on a Swedish study. It posits that production of a 100 kWh battery—Tesla's biggest—produces 17.5 tons of carbon dioxide. We'll take that at face value so we can dig into it here.

The link you provide does not dispute the 17.5 tons of CO2 per 100 kWh battery. Here's a figure for you. Cars produced in 2015: 68,560,000

http://www.statisticbrain.com/cars-produced-in-the-world/

If 100% of those cars were Teslas, that would be 1.2 Gigatons of CO2 from battery production alone. For reference, CO2 contributed by the burning of all fossil fuels combined is around 4-5 Gigatons annually.

http://soilcarboncenter.k-state.edu/carbcycle.html

1.2 gigatons is not a small number and that's before the cars even hit the road. Sweden must have realistic numbers. They pledge to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. Popular mechanics have pledged nothing.
It's more that the US dollar has gained 30% on the Canadian dollar. The Canadian dollar has been relatively stable compared to most currencies while the US has been actively propping up the USD higher. You can't just compare two currencies -- you have to look at the whole market to have a reference point.
yea, i guess i shouldnt care as much.
Sure, but you could also just rob people NOW.

Just go on an open stretch of road in the country side with a firearm and open fire through the truck windows. A truck driver isn't going to be able to defend themselves.

You might argue that this doesn't happen because criminals are afraid of getting caught by the police and sent to jail.

But, if anything, the risks would be even greater for a self driving truck that has dozens of always on cameras recording, GPS tracking, and an emergency police call system.
I guess we're going to have agree to disagree. My experience is many people have more processor power than they can make use of but never have enough memory. Laptops are shipping with 7th gen i5s (granted, mobile components), which are more than suitable for many consumer applications, but still only have 4 - 8 GB RAM. Memory configurations in laptops & desktops haven't really changed much over the past several years. Mobile devices still ship with much less than that.

But in either event, the parent was directly replying to someone whose experience suggests Chrome's memory usage is a problem. Telling him to just add more RAM is disingenuous because that's simply not possible in many (probably most) cases now. Taking him at his word that memory consumption is a problem, what's the real solution?

Frankly, I'm in the same boat. And it's a trivial search to find numerous people that find the increasing memory usage of Chrome to be problematic. For my part, it's been a long time since I've visited a site and wished it did something faster that wasn't directly attributable to a bad code pattern in use on that site. Continuing to improve performance here has been of minimal benefit while increasing memory consumption is something I feel acutely.
The point about requirements to physically store data in a country seems especially silly.

Instead of "if you operate in our country, you have to store that data in our country", why wouldn't it be "if you operate in our country, you must agree to give us all access to that data as if it were physically in our country".

It would be the exact same in practice (minus network latency) but without the security concerns and business barriers brought up in the blog post.
Tag the vehicle, follow it, arrest everyone who comes to pick the drugs up.
Lots of Chileans go to study in Argentina five days per week since in the United States (come on, even the flag looks like Texas!) studying is just too expensive.

But cheap iPhones, for sure.

Uruguay is like a parallel dimension, where somehow Argentinean people didn't screw up their state. Still expensive though.
There are plenty of flaws in the argument here. I know plenty of reasonably dumb yet successful entrepreneurs. Plus the situation is fluid over time (many people only get motivated when the need arises). Also "three distinct castes", well it's not that digital.

Still I can't disagree with the essence of it. It could certainly turn into some form of feudalism, where the haves control everything and peasants work hand-to-mouth, or worse. Though that's somewhat guaranteed at some level by Malthusian logic anyway.

Though it does open the interesting paradox where if humans kill the economy by automation, then there's nobody to buy anything anymore, so there's no need to automate anything anymore, so does the economy then come right back?
This is cool. Is it mobile only?
Survival of the fittest!
>limited supply in popular metro areas

Is it really a limited supply, or just speculators buying them and not bothering to rent them out? Vancouver has 25000 empty homes.
Or learn React through Cljs and forget worrying about most syntax ever again!
I'm glad you like it! :)
I'm very curious about your feedback after using Luna, don't forget to keep in touch with us after the release!

We do not integrate with any language, because the visual representation is just a different syntax for Luna. In fact we keep both syntaxes - textual and visual with the same powers, so you can switch between them, but they are just syntaxes for the same language.

Integrating with Julia (or other lang) would be hard because the language has to be designed in such way that it will allow for such dual representation. We put an enormous effort to design Luna this way. However it will be possible to integrate Julia in such way, that some of the nodes would be written in Julia and then even allow to in-place expanding nodes to small text-editors to preview the code in place. It will however not be possible to translate Julias code to graph or vice versa.

In any case, any shady behavior while at Google may be colorable noise in the PR battle, but is unlikely to have any relevance in court.
I am think many people would consider it somewhat okay to be a brash assertive asshole to other brash assertive assholes. But that doesn't mean one has to be a brash assertive asshole to the female employees collectively.

That's a heartwarming response, truly.

I was prompted to write my original comment by the simple fact that (usually, in my experience) people stick to the half-truths that are easiest for them to communicate, rather than embracing the hard work of truly conveying their inner meanings (note the plural). To wit: once a website is up and a coherent (albeit incomplete) ’truth’ has been ”put out there”, rarely would I expect the author of that website to turn around and say ”that is the self-serving story we wish to convey to one subset of our potential audience, those who self-select by relying on our website for information”. It's a very intellectually honest approach to admit that the content of the website is not Truth but rather some kind of social mechanism, every. It as ’functional’ as the code itself, and serves the a ’propagandistic’ purpose.

Collectively I summarise all of this as ’candor’. ;)
The problem is devs who "deep dive" into Git. I have a very simple workflow and it has treated me well for years, and I never ever run into complications.

I'm not sure why it was, but I couldn't use vs code because all the vim plugins available made it lag like crazy (~1sec per cursor movement).

I don't understand how you can both state that Uber isn't good, but also want us to stop working to make Uber and the rest of tech better?

Many companies, like Uber, have a hostile work environment for 50% of the workforce, and that is bad for everyone!

If you are not a target of the hostility, and you want to think about it selfishly, We are losing out on millions of our best minds until we solve this.
