skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
I looked through the slides but not the video and the slides ignore the hard problem: how do you schedule these requests? How do you know how many parallel requests you can issue without hammering the database or service? How do you batch queries so that you get acceptable latency and a query size that will not choke the database?

The last question is probably easy for most use cases where you have independent requests coming in (typical web application) - in the context of a single request you can usually get away with batching as much as is possible. But the scheduling problem is very similar to the promises of "free parallelism because Church-Rosser" - actually taking advantage is an open problem. Even when you know how much time each job takes in advance, multiprocessor scheduling is NP-hard.

Anyway, if someone watched the video and the question is addressed there, please let me know so I can watch it.
It's probably the rewrite. It had a big interface change and they probably imported a bunch of standard iOS dev libs. Like the menu for example.
Oh, whoops! I had figured Show HN was more about the discussion but that's a great suggestion, since people can come comment on it anyways. Thanks for the tip!
I think we're talking past each other. Complexity probably refers to anything beyond essential complexity. In the systems you mention, they all lack complexity by that definition.
It's true. Most of my popularity comes from outliving my enemies.

But in all seriousness, I am intrigued with the idea that merely by being popular, it will affect your DNA and turn on genes that correlate good health.

Yes, pretty much all my life.

Check out who actually lives in city centers here. Elderly people, rich businesspeople without families etc. ...

In Vienna, where I live, the city center has the following demographics:

- 104m² average flat size, housing 1,89 people.

- 32% population over 60 (highest in Vienna's districts), average age 46,3 (vs. 40,5 for all of Vienna)

- 2,3% of the city's population live there, but only 0,7% of its children (and 2,5% of its cars)

Telcos judge your traffic quality by several metrics including short call percentage, usually cut off at 6 seconds. Too many calls being shorter than this, and they'll add big surcharges.

The robodialers are so stupid, though. They don't want to pay for the second 6 seconds, and will hang up quickly. So intermediary companies keep the calls open to keep their stats good, then charge the dialer guys more.

Telecom is filled with actors that can't handle basic algebra.

Source: I've run billions of calls as a VoIP network and consulted for folks doing dialer.

You're right, and I shouldn't have phrased it that way. Even with my awareness of my own racism, I used language that put Castile on trial.

Anyway, I'm heartbroken and deeply disappointed in America right now. I'm most disappointed in every white American who will defend this officer, and all the others like him, based on a deep-seated belief that black people are always criminals and never to be trusted.

I actually wouldn't mind it if it was an op-ed with a title such as "how I learned effective relationship communication." But with that title I am expecting something of substance.

Also saying they were drinking beers while doing it has the implication that they needed alcohol to be able to have such important conversations. Not saying that's the case, I'm saying it gives the impression.
Their website is confusing and doesn't explain the game. The first video from the article's tweet is awful at explaining the game. Jump cuts every few seconds, talks about powers that it doesn't explain, gameplay is totally unexplained.

These guys need a non-artist on the team. No one is limiting them and making sure they understand that the game is more important than just the art.
From my recollection, the real think is much more aromatic.
Western fundamentalism and isis are fundamentally different. They are not nearly equivalent. They can be made to sound similar, as your comment did, if you ignore important differences between them.

That is however, imo, just manipulation tractic.
Not really. They'll know who immediately delivered it to them, but then need to get that company to reveal their customer. This chain may run several companies deep.

I've seen a ton of these complaints come through. They're basically ignored or given a useless "that caller ID has been blocked" response just to say something was done. At the end of the day, sales wants these calls to keep flowing so they're not gonna get too hard on customers unless they're really abusing the betiejr (placing tons of no-answer or short-duration traffic).
The story suggests that remote access has been disabled following a password leak, which suggests some form of malicious attack.

Thank you for this genuine and respectful response, it's a rarity in many online communities (although I think HN is better than most).

I knew I was taking a risk, and tried to frame my comments accordingly. Looking back, I probably could have a done a better job, especially given the sensitive nature of the topic. I also don't think I was clear enough about what I was actually asking, and how it is different from the situation in the OP.

Re, my willingness to post this: I couldn't really think of a better time or place to bring up the discussion on HN. I suppose I could make a separate "Ask HN" thread, but I'm not sure that would have worked out well. I do think the line of question is worthwhile, as opposed to only having a bunch of comments describing their particular opinion of actions of the person in question, and not much deeper discussion. I was hoping to spark an interesting and thoughtful discussion.

Another reason: I was feeling a bit desensitized and outrage-fatigued, given all of the news and events lately, and I imagined some others were as well. I hadn't made any comments like this in any of the other threads about sexism in tech on HN that have been popping up.

However, I do understand why you found it off-putting -- thank you for sharing. I hope you understand that I don't think an apology is needed or appropriate, but I will definitely keep your remarks in mind.

Have a great weekend :)

Now that's useful. I have a Windows 7 machine for the few things that don't run on Linux. Windows 10 LTSB would be great for that.

I wonder if I can get Windows 10 LTSB preloaded by Central Computer, the retailer. They installed Windows 7 with no bloatware for me. (I asked for that, and the invoice actually reads "no bloatware")
Loose black tea, cardamom (I don't crush them), Cinammon (bark preferred), and clove. Mix 1:1 water and milk (2% or whole) or just go with less water if you like that. Medium heat so it doesn't burn The problem with stores is that they aren't fresh ingredients and there's too much sweetener and other garbage. I find powdered Cardamom and real green cardamom pods to be completely different tastes.
Status vs likability: "it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice".

The question of "history" really is secondary here. What's forbidden is not that people you tell information about your patients write it down, what is forbidden is telling them in the first place.
Weird, as a COO this doesn't accurately describe me or my peers in the slightest bit. Sounds like you had a bitter experience somewhere along the way with a bad team.

Last time this came up there was a rush to criticize the stupidity of running a relay in Russia.

Well, we need those relays. We need them distributed. He knew the risks and he did it anyway. I commend his courage. I use tor. I don't run a relay. I can't afford to donate, but I will look into setting up a relay.

Thank you Dmitry.
> If your kids want to breathe non-toxic air and play, they better be prepared to walk (or, rather, drive) half an hour to the park.

Wake up, "cars" is no longer synonymous with "pollution". I take offence at such ignorance as an EV owner.

As for kids who want everything while condemning capitalism: the problem isn't that they want clean air and play time, the problem is that they demand just as vigorously warm pizza delivered to their home in 10 minutes, furniture brought to their doorstep by whoever sells it on Amazon and the fire brigade to arrive quickly when they set their WLAN-enabled fridges on fire. Obviously, they don't understand how these things relate to each other, but they moan about it nevertheless.
The article distinguishes between likability and status, sure but the survival statistics come from a huge meta-analysis and the status versus likability distinction comes another set of studies (so it's combining two measurement processes, inherently harder than just using one). Given the overall reproduction crisis in psychology, that it turns out rather few studies are actually reliable, it seems entirely plausible that the average of the survival studies didn't control well for wealth and ended up with sociological factors and the status versus likability question is kind of an irrelevant extra.

Install Classic Shell. Practically mandatory to run Windows since 8.
I suggest you fix the communication issue that has led to you feeling this way. Ideally when things inevitably come up you can both be open about what's going on, and concerns either of you have.

Most of the hard work is still ahead of you. Try to keep the equity split equal unless someone is talking about a drastically reduced role. Openness is key.

The split between VPE and CTO is that a VPE is operational and internal-facing whereas a CTO is strategic and external-facing. Neither role involves coding if your company has a dozen engineers; senior individual contributors usually have a title like Chief Scientist or Distinguished Engineer.

A CTO role is essentially that of a Technical Product Manager. What distinguishes it from a traditional TPM is that, to do the role well, you also take on the aspect of being the technical "moral authority" for the company, setting the de facto engineering culture, and creating a compelling vision that goes beyond product management.

It looked like a city cab, yellow and black and was front in the line of all city cabs waiting in Ezeiza. Looking back at it it was a Peugeot that was too old to be running every day.

For a small to medium size satellite, Ariane is actually currently 2 million USD per launch cheaper than SpaceX.

Around 60 vs. 62 million.

And you get an order of magnitude better reliability.

This might change in the next years, but for now, it's not changing.
Ha! That's a really neat idea. Thank you for sharing this. I'll consider adding it.
I think we are in for a huge pump on GDAX, because they now have to buy a shitton of ETH to make their customers whole(or if they give them cash, the customers will be buying a ton of ETH to get their holdings back)...and they will be buying it from GDAX exchange, add that buying pressure to the EEA announcement later this month that will give it an extra boost, and we'll pass the ATH and then its up to the next level up

looks like the destroyer thought that the cargo ship is overtaking, and thus the cargo ship is responsible to yield and later - when it became dangerously close - to take evasive action. While the cargo ship thought that him/her being on the starboard side of the destroyer makes the destroyer responsible to yield/to take the action. Or may be the cargo ship was completely asleep. Anyway, the destroyer waiting for the cargo ship to take that action... that bow coming closer and closer to the destroyer's bridge ... deer in the headlights comes to mind. A junior officer mistake of insisting till the very end on your right of way against a 4x times heavier civilian bathtub of a ship.

So "megabytes" appears to be the power-of-ten unit, which is generally not that helpful in practice.

≫ 6 megabytes to bytes
6 MB -> B
= 6000000 B

Assuming you're sticking with the power-of-ten unit, that means you should really grow support for the (sigh) "mebibytes" family of units; i.e., what some folks are retro-actively calling the power-of-two byte unit.

≫ 6 mebibytes to bytes
6 × mebibytes -> B

EU law does not extend to US entities that do not have a nexus in the EU.

That's not entirely true. Also, "experience" doesn't necessarily mean "quality" - especially when it comes to tech. Older people are also more set in their ways, less versatile, less likely to think outside the box, have far less energy and also have more responsibilities.

In a startup I worked at, we didn't hire any developers over 30. The only people over 30 was out CEO and he got hired after our 2nd round of VC funding. We wanted devs who fit our culture and of course people who could be "molded".

A 40 year old just wouldn't have fit in with a bunch of 20 year olds and he certainly would have trouble keeping up when we developed into the early morning to meet our deadlines/milestones/go-live dates.

But then again, startup culture is very different than established oldschool corporate culture. But starting up a company ( especially in tech ) and trying to survive is geared towards younger people.

Also, a 40 year old with with 15 year of VB experience in corporate america is worth nothing to a startup building enterprise software in VC++. I would choose a fresh grad from a top CS school with strong GPA and good work ethic over some 40 year old VB developer.
So what I got from this is that police feel like they can search your home without consent over a facebook profile photo.

He should have requested help from the ACLU, sued the person who made the call that he needed to be forcibly taken in, and sued the police department for illegal search, while making the case VERY public.

I was wrongfully committed once by a vengeful relative (not even blood) who deceitfully pretended to be my guardian, making up shit about my state of mind.

The government is still hounding my mother about the medical bills, which she refuses to pay because she did not even find out what was going on until I was committed and could not be released. I was kidnapped from her house and was led to believe we were going somewhere else. Next thing I know, a police officer is at the car window telling me we can do this the easy way, or the hard way.

I take this kind of intrusion on personal liberty to be especially heinous.
Perhaps investigate what physicality is beyond the awareness of it. The only reason something objective exists is that there's a separate subject to say so. And no, this doesn't mean that nothing existed prior to human beings, it does mean however that the division of the world into "physical" vs "mental", "objective" vs. "subjective", "me" vs. "not me" was created by the human mind.
I've seen it where they hire almost 80% junior programmers and have the CTO set the tone and pace and learning environment. It worked pretty well actually, but the core technology wasn't groundbreaking, more of a relationship based business doing complex CRUD.
That may also have to do with what you get for your money and local walkable access to schools causing families to avoid trying to live in the centres.

Coincidentally, I was just reading about Masala Chai, recently, got reminiscent, and and that prompted me to start making and drinking it again, after being a coffee and herbal tea guy for a long time :)

Incidentally, US guys (some of you anyway), it's not called "chai tea", just "chai". Both words mean the same (in Hindi and English respectively), so "chai tea" is redundant. Had heard some American colleagues using the former term in a company I worked at earlier.
Cheapest way to do it AFAIK is to setup a LTD as a software or tech type company and then apply for an Action Pack subscription at £250 per annum. You get pretty much every single Microsoft server product in a nicely bound binder as well as 10x Windows 10 Enterprise licenses.

There are a lot of caveats on the licensing terms but it's good value if you're a small tech company.
