He has. That being said, he has nominated some semi competent people for tech related things (eg Mounor Mahjoubi as ministre du numérique) so hopefully that was all campaign talk and won't actually get implemented.

Don't look at it like that. Everyone will have a something to learn every single day, even based on the HN front-page. It's not that you're an impostor if you have something to learn from HN. If you don't think you've got something to learn, that's just delusion.

> This means people walking into downed weather balloons have no warning that they're running low on oxygen before passing out and dying.

It also means that by hyperventilating, you can reducessubsequent feelings of asphyxiation, because hyperventilation (rapid, shallow breaths) purges CO2 from the blood. However, it is somewhat inefficient at building up oxygen (compared to slow, deep breaths) so it's easy to accidentally asphyxiate yourself that way.

The answer, unless I misunderstand you, is "probably not"; I don't see how this discovery would help us to implement optical transistors.
While I agree that paper is great, I believe this product stemmed for an acquisition of Hackpad, a company with a nearly identical product.

1) No robotics? No interaction with the physical world at all?

2) No measure of the AI's ability to teach others? How can you say AI really understands if it can't then teach 1) what it has learned, and 2) understand what essential facts a tyro does not know or misunderstands?

3) No assessment of the AI's semantic interpretive skills, like those long emphasized by cognitive scientists, such as those in Doug Hofstadter's "Fluid Concepts and Creative Analogies" -- i.e. Miller analogies, double entendres, literary symbolism, poetry interpretation, and so on?

Without mastery of analogies, an AI will have all the cultural insightfulness of a portrait of leisuresuit Elvis in neon paint on velvet.
This is absolutely critical. I have a few hundred gig of old data on a paid dropbox. Some old photos and videos etc. Lots of old Word documents.

Has anyone considered that perhaps the cost of treating Americans is going up, too? Notwithstanding existing understood market failures, etc., the growth in medicaid/medicare spending tracks the growth in obesity very well.
Yeah that's the big debate, isn't it? Is a 4 years anglophone BSc equivalent to a 3 years european Licence, or 5 years Master?

When I was applying to grad schools in the US, my French undergrad was not recognized as a proper undergrad - it had to be a 5 year Master (I snuck around that restriction by spending a year in the UK and getting a british BSc).

But of course, French institutions consider 4 years american degrees to be equivalent to 3 year French degrees (rightfully so in their mind - after all, French people don't waste anytime declaring their major or taking general ed classes, which they have taken in high school; their class load also tends to be higher)

Tl;dr each country thinks their degree is better than the other's

So what's the advantage of Dropbox over FTP? Seriously. I have only used it for sharing large files. What else good is it?
Kenneth Arrow's seminal 1963 paper[1] is what started this line of argument. It's not very long, and most of the technical details are left to the appendix.

[1] https://web.stanford.edu/~jay/health_class/Readings/Lecture0...

Classical economics mostly assumes that all participants in the market have access to relevant information to make the right decisions. Arrow's work on signaling theory really started economics on thinking about what happens when that assumption is broken.

As anyone who's worked with large distributed systems knows, putting information where it's needed is key to making it work.

The economy happens to be a large distributed system.
Do they have to?

Sync can still be improved a lot, and I think whoever does it best will be able to take over most of the market. Dropbox's Infinite could potentially do that.

Dropbox actually did have other sync products, such as their now-discontinued Firebase-like Datastore API. https://blogs.dropbox.com/developers/2015/04/deprecating-the...

Their focus is wholly on owning the file management space, with most profit coming from doing so for enterprises. While the Googles and Apples of the world have found significant success in building entire suites of related products and services (including physical), there are plenty of successful public one-trick pony software companies. Dropbox's key has always been the magical quality of their service, and that's as good a reason to be on the focused-side of the spectrum as any.
Unfortunately, this article is very light on details and makes some assertions and comparisons without any serious rigor. I wish someone would publish something that were rigorous and easy to understand for the average reader. instead we have either this, or very dry and incomprehensible reports.

According to this article, the main culprit is keeping a for-profit health insurance system and addressing its shortcomings with ever increasing bureaucracy which adds more costs (bureaucratic complexity). I'm sure there is way more to it than that.
The argument seems to be that ever-increasing administration costs are to blame for overall health care costs and increases.

Then it inexplicably turns into a bad appeal for single payer.
Whether that wealth is going to the top 1% or to the top .01% doesn't matter so much as far as the welfare of the general public is concerned. I think you could argue that the products that these tech companies are bringing to market are what is really benefiting the general public, much more than any investment returns ever could. And if the current model of investing is most efficient--in terms of generating new products and delivering them to market--then it is better for the public.

Ask HN: After working 70+ hrs a week my manager says no for promotion
I am angry at myself for being stupid. I worked for 70+ hrs a week for one year and built a new groundbreaking platform. During my recent conversation with my manager, he told me it's not enough for promotion and we should wait. I did my best to convince him.
I am wondering what did I do wrong? Quite frequently I get walked over by people. Although I am good at workplace politics I am not best. I am baffled that men and women who are underperforming are going to be put for promotion. I know first hand two people who have caused delays in projects are going to be considered. All they have is probably strong connection with their managers.

How do you navigate workplace politics and getting ahead in the career? Changing job is one option but how long I can keep running from situation?
Also,given the state of technical interview and irrationality to ask any irrelevant question, I don't know if I wanna go through it again anytime soon.

What do I need to do to move ahead and up in the career?

i3 has mode maps which are not quite like chained commands, but pretty close (e.g. you have to exit the map instead of just abandoning the chain if you change your mind halfway through a press).

I love them, they can do anything and you have the option of a pop up key map that displays the key function (or whatever you want) once you hit the first key.

I used Dropbox for a few years, but ultimately switched to another big-name company service. Consumers now have great options available from all the big-name companies: Amazon Drive, Apple iCloud, Google Drive, and Microsoft OneDrive. Meanwhile, in the enterprise world it looks like Box is dominating.

Given this, I think it's reasonable to ask: what's their value proposition in 2017? I hadn't been following them for a few years, but looking at their landing and pricing page, it's clear they're transitioning away from being a consumer product and focusing on enterprise customers. For those of you that are paying for their consumer offering, I'd be very interested in reading about why you've chosen to stick with em instead of migrating to another service.
Aren't they expressly focused on 1024 but keys? It sounds like 2048 doesn't share the same issue yet.

Wouldn't your statement imply that we should not be terminating TLS on AWS nodes? Is it even practical these days to not use cloud based, shared hardware?

Again, RSA 1024, we've known that's weak for a while now...
Strangely enough, they actually deleted mine recently. I was using a few hundred MB and hadn't logged I now for a few years and got a notification that unless I logged in they were wiping my data. Not something that typically occurs these days.
We might get some solid clues when they file their S-1. However I'd venture to say international user growth both Consumer facing and Enterprise.

Anecdotally I can share reports of wavering between consumer and enterprise focus.
How is a single-payer not simpler, given that it is exactly as is sounds, a single-payer for healthcare, which is the government.
Interesting article, but misses out so much. Sexual harassment occurs in many forms by many different people (male and female). Certainly, the majority of it is male against female, but there is also the female against male which is just as insidious, as is the male against male, and female against female.

None of it is good, all of it is bad.

Policy will make no difference in the long term, only character development, which is an individual choice.

The other aspect is realising that some men and women have NO social skills at all. Some have never been taught within their families, other have no concept due to various things like autism. With such people, many get offended without ever taking the time to try and understand. Though their actions can be outside the norm, they are harmless and it behooves others to understand. I say this from having worked with many like this over the years. In addition, I have an autistic grandson who, when you get to understand him, is a great kid but doesn't understand many of the social skills most people take for granted.
I don't think the idea is the removal of the functionality, just the physical keys. Any half decent laptop will have home, end, page up and page down mapped to Fn+Arrows which to me is a smarter solution.

I can't imagine a language more suited for implementing this than Julia. Custom N-d array types are easy to create and are composable with the rest of the linear algebra ecosystem. Multiple index and index iteration strategies are supported. It's easy to implement optimized code for common operations, falling back to reasonably-efficient generic implementations. There are strong metaprogramming facilities in case custom unrolling behaviour is necessary at compile time.

If someone was interested in exploring an implementation I would strongly suggest giving Julia a try.
Not sure if this exists on modern MacOS, but you used to be able to move three fingers along the glass without clicking to drag. I think you had to enable the gesture.
A bit but nowhere near as much. Native bees have many advantages. They have vastly more genetic diversity and there are several species. Farmers don't transport them around the country and around the world spreading disease and parasites much faster. And their hives aren't often messed up by humans. And they are better adapted to this environment.

Honeybees are suffering from multiple problems including outbreaks of disease and parasites. Even without pesticide they would be doing bad.

Anecdotally bumble bees are a very common sight here. And I'm surrounded by fields that are sprayed often.
I've always thought this experiment would be interesting: take two groups of partisan voters, a group from the left and right.

Ask them a series of multiple choice questions as well as some long answer questions. Then, give them MDMA and repeat the previous testing.

Dropbox has a great product. Before dropbox I had a special email account to store files to share with people. It was annoying if I needed to update stuff. Dropbox has without a doubt saved me time and money.
Yeah, I would have expected - and enjoyed - a blaze of glory end for Omar.

Which in itself is an argument against doing that!

The way he went out says that in the real "game", there are no super heroes. Even the biggest badass dies just as much from a bullet, and ultimately mean nothing compared to the big institutional forces that shape the world.

One way to think about The Wire as a whole is that it's about organisations and how they remain the same, regardless of the seemingly big influence individuals have in them.

At the end of the show most the bigger-than-life people on all sides have been replaced. Yet everything is just the same as it always was.
How much competition is there in health care, really?

An oligopoly controls most of the insurance market, another oligopoly controls most of the hospitals, and medical schools openly collude (through the AAMC) to limit the number of doctors.

All sanctioned by a government run by politicians funded by these organizations.
Oh look, another attempt to argue that market forces somehow don't apply to medical care.

In this one, the author makes the argument that "competition" leads to a proliferation of firms, a proliferation of firms leads to administrative complexity, and administrative complexity leads to additional cost. Supposedly, removing this cost would save us enough money "to provide health care to all Americans."

It is easy to attempt to verify this claim by looking at actual data.

OECD: "Administration of the US health system alone accounts for about 7% share of total spending. This is on a par with other systems such as France and Germany which also have multipayer systems (even if in some of them there is no or little competition across payers). In comparison, Canada and Japan devote around 4% of health spending on administration."

https://www.oecd.org/unitedstates/49084355.pdf

So, if we adopted a true single payer system, by this math, the total spend in the US healthcare system would drop by 3%. US healthcare costs have recently been growing by 6% per year, so this would bring our costs all the way down to where they were on election day, 2016.

> Eating meat is a fantastic last resort if you don't have enough food and your only other option is malnutrition/starvation, but it's terrible for you as anything other than a stopgap until you can eat some plants/fungi.

Eating meat seems like a viable strategy for many other species, not sure why it isn't a viable one for humans as well, especially given that we seem to be highly evolved as hunters (I mean, we are, by a long shot, the most successful predator in recent evolutionary history).
