Uber's response to it is even more baffling!

"Waymo’s retreat on three of their four patent claims is yet another sign
that they have overpromised and can’t deliver," Uber said in a statement.
"Not only have they uncovered zero evidence of any of the 14,000 files in
question coming to Uber, they now admit that Uber’s LiDAR design is
actually very different than theirs. Faced with this hard truth, Waymo has
resorted to floating conspiracy theories not rooted in fact, doing
everything they can to put the focus on sensation rather than substance."

Maybe it's only me, but I'm more comfortable for one time donations comparing to these per week/month/year long time commitment you provided. I guess I can choose per year and then cancel it immediately after the donation, but still, I hope you can provide a one time donation option to us.

(I can totally understand why you prefer these long time commitments.)
Ask the office manager at your job if there's a notary public on staff.

It's not uncommon for one of the assistants or the office manager to get certified as a notary. It's very useful for small office situations and short deadlines.
Given the skill summary of each employee I'm guessing this is an insider effort. And kudos to them! This is a great way to turn a sad situation into a springboard for new opportunities. Would love to see it repeated in the future.

Oh right, you'd never do that, because some tiny part of you knows that George Hotz was lying his ass off about his tech, and that you'd have to be a crazy person to trust such a flagrant liar with your life.
That's entirely true, and I don't think he's doing all this "to make better music". But as a true audio geek, that's something that's extremely fun and cool to do if you can afford it. It's like people building insane gaming stations with lots of lights and crazy decoration. It won't make them better gamers, but it's a great hobby.

As mentioned in the video, you can emulate all of these in the computer anyway, but if you've got the money, why not create something cool like this?

Try reading literally the next sentence following the one you quoted out of context. Please stop taking things that people write out of context and triggering off them for faux-outrage. You're attacking a strawman and not adding anything positive to the community. It's a form of bullying that results in less nuance in the discussion.

That's an interesting story and I'm sure you learned a lot through the experience. I'm also sure there are plenty others like you, to whom trading was educative.

But on the other hand I'm sure there are a whole lot of young people on the other side of things. Those who start learning about stock-trading and soon see it as a way to make money fast by taking huge risks. They get spammed by 500$ signup bonuses to various stock-trading platforms, they're presented with 100x leveraged trading options and such. I don't see much benefit in that.

What I think is young people should be taught how the market works with a huge grain of salt. Definitely not by letting them go wild with play-money since we all know what will follow up.
Or a bug. In any case, since this post is from the recipient of the fee, they probably have no way of knowing how it happened. At least, not until and unless the person who paid it comes forward.

From outside it looks like a question of culture & focus, not some diabolical strategy. A company called Skymind has built a deep learning library called DL4J oriented towards enterprise use cases (Java support, integration with Hadoop etc), I think they're fairly successful.
According to all the generation-war articles, young people don't have any money, so in that view the places desirable to young people would be declining in value.

I have a feeling the truth might be simple. Normal home values are mostly stagnant or down (due to the 2000s bubble), no further explanation needed. Regions that are exceptionally down are just actually in decline economically. Regions that have risen slightly are economically rising. Regions that are exceptionally up are a combination of economic success and intentional real estate manipulation for financial motives (for example, property owners purposefully obstructing the development of new homes, which is a common accusation in bay area threads on this very site.)
I made Word Nazi, which is essentially just a dirty version of Taboo (in the same way that Cards Against Humanity is a dirty version of Apples to Apples) in app form.

Lessons learned:

* I should've paid someone to do some decent graphics, turns out "minimalist aesthetic" is not the same as "no effort put in to design"

* Making it a free demo, with the full game available as an in-app-purchase, sounds like a good deal for the user but in actuality sets off peoples' "IAP == crapware" alarm

On the upside, I also made a fake corporate website (http://ineptech.com) to promote it and that was so much fun that I'd probably waste all that time again.
> Google has managed to grow a community around TensorFlow

I agree with your post.

But speaking about the community part, I am still irritated that there's no official support for running TensorFlow on ARM / Raspbian / Raspberry Pi. Maybe I'm an outlier, but to me it looks like such an obvious choice. Here's a platform that lots of people are using for automation and robotics and computer vision, and it could be their first contact with machine learning, and you could basically lure them all in if you gave them an official release.

Sure, there's someone on GitHub who provides unofficial packages, and props to him for the awesome work...

https://github.com/samjabrahams/tensorflow-on-raspberry-pi

...but I'd really like to see Google stepping in here and doing the obvious.

I've opened a feature request a while ago. Google closed the ticket, no explanation:

https://github.com/tensorflow/tensorflow/issues/5729
the experience isn't as bad as you imagined. for example, you can try this first https://www.paperspace.com/gaming and then judge.
Bitcoin required a couple dollars per transaction, not to long ago.

You are overestimating his risk, right now, for stocks.

The current setup isn't likely to lose him much money. Throwing darts to pick your stocks will cause your stock portfolio to be surprisingly diversified.

Random stock pick is actually a not crazy investment strategy that is likely to get you the same amount of return as putting your money in an index fund.

Transaction fees in cryto, on the other hand, would cause him to lose 10k a month.
This.

The first thing I did is go to the page to see if what it does. I know what it claims to do, but the actual mechanics matter.

And then I want to know how much it costs.

Without those two, I might as well use a competitor that lets me see what it does and for how much.
This was in 2010 - so according to you that makes it President Obama's fault.

I work for a small non-profit and we've had the same issue. We use SendGrid to send out our email newsletters and the open rates have fallen from ~27% to ~13% over the past month.

Does anyone here have contacts at Google who might be able to help? [Edit: I've also reached out to SendGrid support to look into this]

Looking at the data more, the drop is due to a ~73% drop in Gmail opens. Hotmail and Yahoo opens remain stable:

> In such a case, is the purchase of Uber worth it or necessary?

The platform and existing customer and (at least in the transitional phase) driver relationships are not without value, and there's probably IP value as well (and, if they've really built on stuff stolen from or encumbered I by patents owned
by Google, it's potentially uniquely valuable to Google, compared to other buyers.)

So, I mean, even an “acquifire” where none of the actual people employed by Uber are retained might be worthwhile, at the right price.
The correct fee should have been 2BTC?
Yes, they do, and in fact that's what Google Reader was.
Been doing IF this entire year (12pm-8pm feeding window). You definitely get used to being hungry in the mornings for a few hours.

This is anecdotal, but I've never felt better! I try to convert everyone :)

This seems like a valuable service, and I'd like to continue doing this, but perhaps I'll add a disclaimer asking people not to talk about HN in the replies to minimize noise. If you have questions or concerns about the site, please email hn@ycombinator.com rather than leaving a comment.
Easy solution I've found: unfollow everyone. Obviously they make this hard for you, you have to unfollow individually and get stopped for "abuse" every once on a while, but it's so rewarding at the end. You get all the benefits of Facebook with none of the addictive qualities.
the correct fee should have been approximately 2BTC.

At current rates isn't that a $5,000ish transaction fee?

Have I misunderstood something? That seems like a crazy amount, especially given the hype surrounding Bitcoin.
>To be fair, it looks like all this happened in 2010—ISIS wasn't in the nation's consciousness back then"

You realize that ISIS is the rebranded Al Queda in Iraq right? Al Queda in Iraq(AQI) began in 2004. The rebranding came in 2011 when Arab Spring protests in Syria resulted in that country being destabilized and AQI was able to move in to Syria to re-supply.

Regardless of the name changes they would have been part of any legitimate antiquities expert's and dealer's consciences.
Buying antiquities and the consequences of supporting the black market aren't suddenly new or secret. What is appropriate has certainly been established. Either they chose to ignore laws or they chose to be willfully ignorant. Neither is a very good defense.

This isn't a yard sale. What they're doing is a big boy business and involved big boy money. There's big boy consequences for it.
It's basically using poetic flourishes to hide sloppy, simplistic thinking. Just like when the article accuses science of imposing machinery on nature (or something). "Part two shows how the modern scientific perspective of the natural world is actually a fantasy. It has little to do with the reality of nature. It is based on mechanistic ideas that were projected on to the natural world in the 1950s by scientists..."

That's unfortunately par for the course in humanities. Occasionally that kind of language can be used to enhance good ideas but more often used to let artists have their feelings and not investigate further.
Right, I think that WeChat basically exemplifies this too. But at that point, is the user really interacting with a "bot", or is the chat platform just an app delivery mechanism like an OS or a web browser?

I'm honestly asking, and I think the pizza example is really illuminating - how DO people order somewhat-customizable food via these platforms?

If Uber is like the other unicorn companies, the investors that gave it the massive valuation have shareholder agreements that allow them to get paid before everyone else does. Anyone with common shares (e.g. employees, etc.) would get virtually nothing.

And AQI was itself a rebranding of a different org that had no prior connection to al-Qaeda.

The point being they've improved a LOT since the acquisition, and that they can do the same with Uber. I feel it's wrong to assume that Google wont do anything to fix up Uber if they do acquire them.

It's hard to balance when you have an hour of homework assigned every day, but only get tested about once a month. So you have 20 hours of homework vs. a 30 minute test.

The difference in magnitude ends up being too much. Either each homework assignment is worth almost nothing or they outweigh tests.

Hamano replied pointing me to this thread. https://public-inbox.org/git/Pine.LNX.4.64.0510171814430.336... Linus proposed adding the feature to git-checkout, subsuming git-checkout-index. Junio expressed concern about file/branch ambiguity; Linus wrote back, "Yes, I know it's ambigious at times, but it really is very convenient. Usually we allow a "--" to say where a filename starts when it is ambiguous."

I think a separate command would have been convenient, too.

You ask for an explanation as if it's btc.com's mistake. It's not. They merely mined the block that had the fee. They have no way of knowing why the entity that signed that transaction gave it the fee that they did.
This happens when someone manually crafts a transaction.

In Bitcoin, if you have an input of 100 BTC and make a transaction with a single output of 20 BTC, the remaining 80 BTC are kept by the miner. There's no wallet software that would let you do this.

It's like paying a $20 check with a $100 bill and saying "keep the change."
tbh we want to support both :) The bitcoin option is one way of doing one-time donations, and apparently liberapay may be considering it too. We'll also set up a Paypal.me shortly too.

Exactly: Why is homework considered something that can be "cheated" on anyway? The whole purpose is to get practice and learn the material.

Just make the tests challenging-the ones who actually did their homework will pass. The ones who didn't won't.

Wolfram Alpha helped me many times-sometimes you're simply stuck on a problem and no one is there to help. But like anything, you can use it to cheat and not do work, or you can use it to help you learn more.
The checksum tool was short and came with its own checksum. Most of the ways you can type in a program wrong will cause the program will fail to run in some obvious way. Thus your first task was running the checksum tool against itself. The odds that you can make a typo that will cause the checksum tool to be broke and yet generate the correct output when run on itself were pretty low.
You're entitled to your opinions. I hope you land on your feet after Uber.

I've found that invariably they have wordy and low-density first paragraphs that make it fairly obvious what's going on, and further reading reveals that it's going to be a long slog after which my back button comes out of its holster.

Note though that the moment you go beyond single decision trees, with say random forests, boosted trees or bagged decision trees, the models become less and less interpretable. They "look" like rules, but with multiple disjoint sets of them its hard to intuit how they interact.
