This strikes me as a utilitarian vs. deontological argument.

The former: if everyone just played along and used things reasonably we would still be benefiting from cheap storage.

The latter: stop playing games, "unlimited" is an unacceptable lie and we will push you into admitting it.
People who are idealistic and think that since I could do it then surely anyone can.

The hardest truth is that innate talent and intelligence matters, and that some people just can't do it, while others will breeze through it.

Yep - we're starting to see proof from a lot of different sides that Google is having a rather major issue. Now to hope they find the culprit and resolve it quickly :)
Ah yeah, hey, how's it going? I remember you from the YYZ office.
Not entirely true -

e.g. if your stack is hosed, etc, things could be affected

Also, much of kernel debugging involves poking at core images, which wouldn't be coherent with the kernel binary.

That said, I'm fairly certain I recall reading that the logic saves your previous kernel for such a case, and otherwise someone could make scripts to save more copies if needed.

Others have pointed out reconstructing kernels for debug purposes.
Cool, please do give it try.
Hard Truths about Cyber Security – Key Limitations Today
Main use of lidar is for very fast obstacle detection. Other popular methods to detect obstacles are ultrasonics and vision.

Problem with ultrasonics is latency, range as well as lack of accuracy.

To detect obstacles with vision, generally you need stereo camera and generate disparity map (you can do with moving mono camera too but its much harder and even more unreliable). The confidence levels drops quickly as objects are farther and lighting conditions, reflections etc gets more complex. The main problem is that popular algorithms only rely on geometry to compute the depth and they don't into account knowledge of the world. For example, if there is area of specular reflection, geometry will fail even though one can reasonably estimate depth by assuming some continuity of shape of objects in real world.

We humans are very efficient in figuring out depth even with single eye and its purely because we can do very quick and accurate object segmentation and combine it with our knowledge of what those objects are (semantics) as well as our internal map of the world around us. For example, when you see truck on the road even with single eye, you have fair estimate of what sizes trucks usually are and how big should it appear if it was 100ft away vs 1000ft away. You would be able to do this even if you can see truck only partially from the side angle or back angle.

There is no known algorithms currently that can come anywhere close to human level accuracy and speed for depth estimation and consequently obstacle detection using just vision in variety of lighting conditions when you are moving at 70 miles/hr. On the other hand, lidars are super easy to implement, fast and very accurate. So unless a major breakthrough comes along, lidars are actually the only choice right now for fast and accurate obstacle detection. Remember even a tiny error rate could be fatal when you have millions of cars covering millions of miles every day.

None. The big porn companies have direct banking relationships with (typically multiple - as banking access is typically the largest risk such a company carries) merchant banks. They will then use whatever payment processor they feel like (e.g. an authorize.net clone) or build their own, but hooked into their merchant account on the backend. These will (generally) be invisible to you, as all the API calls are done in the background and hosted by the company itself.

The small porn companies typically use ccbill or epoch, although my knowledge is slightly dated in that area.

"It depends" is the only valid truism.

There's no panacea for techniques, tools or philosophy.

Fast-running TDD unit and smoke tests are great for non-fragile, fast development, however throwing a "pry" or equivalent breakpoint in some code not behaving as expected can be immensely helpful. Heck, when I started out 25 years ago, trial-and-error in an IDE is how I learned how Turbo Pascal worked. REPLs and IDEs are great for digging into how a piece of code works live, while automated testing is to assure things aren't broken and code isn't treated as a sacred text.
Found this very interesting and brutally honest in the details around the circumstances of the consensual night out (she mentioned several times that the meeting being purely business was all made up in her head) and her equally honest opinion on what happened to Cheryl Yeoh (she doesn't agree that was assault).

Pity how a personal account with no clear villain or wrong doing is not getting much attention as it deserves, she is being very honest here and leaving herself vulnerable to being called both a SJW and a traitor to other women. I appreciate her honesty and complicated analysis of her own motivations and subsequent reactions.
Sure, I understood that. My interest was that given the knowledge that the Byzantines and Ottomans were enemies and then the Ottomans conquered the entire region, what would be the relevance of an Ottoman tradition to assassination of a Byzantine emperor? Was there some mixing of cultures at some point to the extent that strangulation was adopted in Byzantium? Now that I've re-read the great grand parent post, I assume that it was meant as an aside about Ottoman emperors.

Yeah, it seems the only point in responding is to avoid being flagged as a fraudster. It is unclear whether Stripe's fraud detection system treats you differently if you (1) are flagged by a customer and do not respond; or (2) are flagged by a customer, respond substantively, but are nonetheless denied. If these have the same impact on your risk profile as a vendor, it is 100% not worth it to respond.

> No tricks like decoding a smaller image from a JPEG

Given that most cameras are producing JPEG now, I'm curious why you don't make use of the compressed / frequency-domain representation. To a novice in this area (read: me), It seems like a quick shortcut to an 8x or 4x or 2x downsample.

Or is the required iDCT operation just that much more expensive than the convolution approach?
I don't think it's likely that a day will come, at least in our lifetimes, where workplaces are free from mental health issues. Yes, that would be great, but it's about as realistic as having colds and flus not be an issue in the workplace. These things are not going away in our lifetimes.

I could not disagree more strongly with this.

Most of the Python and Ruby developers I know are not comfortable writing C code.

More importantly, there's nothing in the world more dangerous than someone who knows just enough to get something working in C.

C is a harder language to learn than Ruby, Python, or Javascript. Unlike any of those languages, to write in C you have to constantly keep object life cycles, memory hierarchy, and memory layout in mind. Most of the standard libraries of Python or Ruby --- even simple string manipulation --- are idiomatically written and rewritten by hand in C. Even experienced C programmers forget, routinely and to calamitous affect, how machine integers work.

Writing something in C reduces the number of programmers who can contribute to a project.

And that reduction is going to get worse and worse over time. When I started my career, if you were going to ship code to clients, C was the industry standard way to accomplish that. A giant chunk of all working programmers used C as their daily language. Today, only a small minority of programmers will ever once write a production C module.
I had couple of games installed on a symbian phone (200Mhz ARM) using "AR" almost a decade ago (a table tennis one and a virus catcher thingy), they were a bit laggy but that was because without onboard sensors they had to track movement using only the camera and at the same time push video plus overlay to the display.

So, not really impressed by pokemon go.

I was struck by the following passage:

"Job search in tech is extra long and frustrating:

For tech jobs add about 3-5 more interviews + technical tests, online and onsite, if you even make it past the first step because a lot of times you will never hear from a company after sending in your application, or the company will stop responding to your emails at some point in the interview process. The tech hiring process also seems to take about 3 times longer than in other industries. Brace yourselves!"

Sadly this is a very common refrain. And unfortunately this is now true even if you have years of experience. Hiring is just plain broken. Full stop. This is also a fairly recent development in the industry. The hiring process was not broken like this 8 or even 5 years ago.

It's sad that an awful and unprofessional experience is now the norm and something that should be expected. I blame recruiters for much of this unprofessionalism but I also blame the companies that either permit such unprofessional behavior or else are simply unaware at how bad or broken their process is.

Its strange that the industry seems to have whipped itself into such a neurosis about the possibility of "false positives" that it has created a uniquely miserable experience that seems to embrace absurdity and disrespect as a matter of course.

The fact that industry seems to collectively trend hop - Whiteboarding! Take home projects! Hacker Ranks Tests!

This "everyone else is doing it" mentality only serves to perpetuate this.

I'm curious if they need Paypal due to customer preference, or if they could simply accept credit cards directly. At that volume, implementing your own merchant account sounds like a much better idea than paying the absurd rates Paypal charges.

However, I'm fairly certain that they would have thought of this :) I'm assuming they need to accept Paypal due to customer demand.

The Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) in the U.S. established the "pattern day trader" rule, which states that if a stock trading customer makes four or more day trades (opening and closing a position within the same day) in a five-day period the customer is considered a day trader and must maintain a minimum $25,000 account balance.

No, that is not what stop-loss orders are for. A stop-loss order only puts a sell offer into the market when the market prices falls below a certain threshold, there is no guarantee as to what price someone will actually buy your shares at, or that anyone will buy them at all.

If you want to have a hard limit on the loss, you'll have to buy a put option.

Ask HN: How did you ship your Kickstarter
I'm getting ready to launch a notebook on Kickstarter (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1498851720/206468379?token=2c4545f2). My issue is that I want to be able to ship books internationally, but it's damn expensive. I went to the post office today (I'm in the US) and it's like $25 to ship one book to Europe or Australia. Is there any kind of a service where I can bundle all my books together and ship them to one location, somewhere in the UK for example, and then have them each shipped domestically throughout the EU? I'm assuming that would be cheaper than sending each one individually from the US. If this isn't already a service, then why not? I refuse to believe I am the first one to have this idea.

Teaching yourself is hard; if it wasn't, we wouldn't have schools or tutors, or at least as many of them. Most people aren't autodidacts. One's IQ and Conscientiousness probably dominate one's ability to do it, but even so, things like genuine interest play a big part too. Try teaching yourself a subject outside of tech sometime and see how far you go without that much interest. Then there's a time and energy component. A lot of people wake up and go to work, then come home worn out, or at least at less energy than earlier in the day, and they probably have other things to do for their remaining 1/3 of the day besides devote it to self-study.

At least for programming, self-learning most things is super cheap, so the cost barrier isn't as big, but again, self-learning is hard, which is why so many pricey bootcamps have popped up.
I am not arguing the legitimacy of climate change but this specific instance of the science.
Usually it's something like "you can't minimize someone else's experience if they're expressing that it's affecting their work life", "clearly there's a problem since they are underrepresented", etc.

They're usually pretty unfalsifiable, but they're not unreasonable, and the line of acceptable discourse has been firmly drawn to exclude questioning them.

I'm skeptical that you're actually unaware of these rebuttals: if I said to someone something like "what's the big deal, who cares that you're the only Latina in this company, the only one making a big deal out of it is you", I'm sure these rebuttals would readily come to mind. If not because you believe them, then at least because they're so ubiquitous.

Deciding that they're appropriate just because you disagree with the specific policy being criticized is kind of weaselly.
I guess it's upstream now:

Presumably because permissions were not set correctly. The poor fellow was tasked with compiling 20-year old code with a completely circular-linked library. He spent months hacking it into shape, and made great progress.

But this problem continues to occur. Last year, working on an Ops team, team members started noticing their scripts were no longer present on production servers. It turns out a team member was modifying code and checking it in. The problem is that Git clobbers unchanged files, so he was unknowingly reverting changes.

After years of seeing numerous professional developers and engineers continuously have team-impacting, show-stopping issues using a tool, I must assume the tool is defective in some way.
