1 US customary table spoon (~14.8ml) is conventionally taken as 15ml, a teaspoon as 5ml, a cup as 240ml. That's roughly what you get when you buy a set of measuring spoons/cups as well; some may be a tad smaller (following the US measurements), and some are aligned with these metric values — the difference is mostly negligible.

These are quite standardised unless you are using something like Australian tablespoons¹ (but then any American following that recipe would run into problems as well). The US customary cup and spoon measures were introduced exactly to solve the problem of measurement ambiguity in recipes! Nineteenth century cookbooks can be hard to follow because of the significant variation in the interpretation of smidgens, dashes, pinches, and (then) spoons and cups.

1: Are these really a thing? Any Australian care to chime in?
you can explore two tools, csvkit and xsv, it can help you view the headers, rearrange, sort, merge, join etc.

csvkit is python is good, but xsv is written in rust and a available as compiled binary and is around 10x faster when working with large csv files.
Ok. I guess a time lapsed photo should show polar orbit sats as long streaks on the y axis and stars as short streaks on the x axis and geostationary sats as bright dots.

I just moved into a house with a pre-existing alarm system that hasn't been used in years. Motion sensor, door switches, window switches (I think) and maybe the smoke detectors are wired in.

I think a Pi would be a good central unit to control all of them and to then take a couple of defunct iPad/iPod's and make smart control panels out of them.

Anyone have any pointers on how to identify what sensors are what at the control panel? It's just a jumble of what I assume are low voltage wires going into the proprietary box.

4 trends that will dominate the future of Social Media Marketing
A lot of the time it's not even really a compromise. This is why it makes no sense to debate about eventual consistency - the implications are entirely situational.

This kind of buzzword is harmful; it leads to overthinking, over-engineering, misunderstanding and a lack of focus on what matters, which is implementing solutions that are appropriate for the current context.

It's also a fallacy (or an artefact of enterprise thinking) that you need to either adopt eventual consistency or not. Modern systems are increasingly webs of loosely connected components and subsystems where some processes may be immediately consistent and others not. This is something that we take for granted most of the time (e.g. a search index is almost always "eventually consistent" and nobody would ever think to question that) until we start talking about the concept in an abstract/contrived fashion.

Ask HN: Is it OK to ask co-workers for my performance review?

Maybe small 1-2 person booths that get premium service for $3/hour. Premium means a server comes to you for orders of food and drink, with implied tipping in US at least, and maybe has some way to secure your stuff for any needed restroom breaks?
In my personal opinion (based on heavily using RethinkDB for two years), many of the core issues of RethinkDB are related to performance, not bugs. I had bet on where RethinkDB would end up performance wise, had development continued with people who really understand how it works doing fulltime development.

Most of the Neo4j users don't use the TinkerPop, otherwise, it would be a drop-in replacement. If you're using Neo4j Cypher, you should use the SQL MATCH in OrientDB (very similar). Take a look at this page for the migration: https://dzone.com/articles/introducing-the-neo4j-to-orientdb....

For IBM Graph (that is Titan under the hood) you should install the TinkerPop plugin in Neo4j, export it as GraphML and then import it into IBM Graph. The query must be completely rewritten. In Gremlin 3 there is a minimal pattern matching, maybe you could try using that.

I have the same reaction to Soylent...minus the witty commentary. Just the suffering.
It seems to be rotating via reaction wheels (via this[0]). I haven't yet figured out how it translates, though.

EDIT: if you have gravity available, the video on that site illustrates a clever way to use those reaction wheels to move around by tumbling.

That argument is not exactly valid, because the concept of a block chain has been described a long time before it was used in "virtual currencies." [1]

"Block chains" in modern times are very helpful in handling transactions in databases by replacing things like CAS-Numbers [2] with hashes. The hash of the previous block effectively becomes the CAS-Number, with the feature of staying persistent and verifiable.

CAS example: IF X_version IS 200 SET X=2

BC example: IF hash(X) IS 200 ADD document Y WITH Y_parent = hash(X)

That is, while the article does in fact also mentions Bitcoin, I don't see a point in discrediting the article, the code or the author in any way. Personally, I find it far more valuable for engineers to understand the underlying, fundamental concepts of things before going all-in. Sure, he could have discussed all these things, but for people who are new to the topic, that would not have been very helpful in understanding the concept of a block chain.

Yes, https://etherdelta.github.io/ were way ahead of everyone else, if someone asks me for an example of an Ethereum contract that's solving a real world problem right now then they're the first one I think of.

It's a shame that Ethereum tokens are getting a bit of a bad reputation, because an exchange like EtherDelta coupled with asset-backed tokens could really open up all kinds of possibilities.

Disclaimer: I'm involved with https://ubitok.io which are similar to EtherDelta (but /totally/ on-chain, no off-chain matching engine needed!)

DV, as its name suggests, is an immigration program, not an employment program. I happen to believe it tends to filter applicants educated above the local population average, but that is not its primary purpose.

And that's a good thing - prioritizing immigration based on the hot job du jour seems quite dangerous and guaranteed to produce the opposite of "diverse".

I think the point that the person is trying to make is that when you pledge money on kickstarter, you are doing it in hopes that you will see the product emerge -- because you want to buy/use it. An angel investor rarely invests because they want the product. They invest because they want the ROI.

In that sense, having an investor take care of the funding so that the product comes to market is a good thing for the kickstarter pledger. Presumably a successful kickstarter campaign helped secure the investor. It's a success from that perspective.

To me it seems a return to the an older tradition, of names being names rather than descriptions (which inevitably fail to describe).

Using common words for names is also ancient and inevitable. In the modern age there is a practical argument against it -- as made up nonsense is more googlable. But people making up names don't really care about that in any visceral way.
Ah, okay. Thanks for the clarification. The point I was missing was number 4 -- I thought you were leaving the summaries on the whiteboard.
This is one of those things the municipalities need to stop doing, promptly.

People now try to use ML anywhere and everywhere so it's wild west a little. Three examples: [1] uses a standard neural net to represent a many-body wave function, with all the machinery of quantum mechanics on top of that, and reinforcement learning to find the true ground state. [2] uses a handcrafted neural net, which by construction already takes advantage of a lot of prior knowledge, to directly predict molecular energies. [3] uses a simple kernel ridge regression coupled with a sophisticated handcrafted scheme to automatically construct a good basis (set of features) for a given input, to predict molecular energies.

In all these cases, the ML itself is not the target problem, but only a tool, and most effort goes into figuring out where exactly to use ML as a part of a larger problem, and how to encode prior knowledge, either via feature construction or neural net handcrafting.

Your Hypothetical situation of victim payment NEVER happens

Most Cars seized by the government are because they found some small amount of drugs are paraphernalia in the car and seized it

I can not think of a single instances of what you claim playing out IRL, so I would love to see where your source is that shows cars seized by the government are legally bought off of former drug dealers then seized by the government from the new owners. Even under Asset Forfeiture I do not believe that would be legal.

>, because the concept of a block chain has been described a long time before

Citing historical usage and original meanings is not relevant as to why people use synecdoche.

The point is that in today's discourse, the term "blockchain" has already expanded beyond the original literal technically constrained meaning of "chain of hashes". Even if _you_ want to keep the original meaning of "blockchain", you still have to recognize when _others_ are using synecdoche.

Examples in media:

+ https://www.google.com/search?q=bloomberg+blockchain

+ https://www.google.com/search?q=wsj+blockchain

+ https://www.igvita.com/2014/05/05/minimum-viable-block-chain...

To interpret those articles correctly, you have to mentally substitute "blockchain" with "distributed ledger". If you substitute with "chain of hashes", the articles make no sense.

Synecdoche throws original historical usage out the window.

>, but for people who are new to the topic, that would not have been very helpful in understanding the concept of a block chain.

There are many web articles that create a "toy" blockchain by showing _hashes_. The problem is that the abundance of such articles actually hides the real ingenuity of the Satoshi/bitcoin.

Again, the hard part is combining multiple technologies in clever ways that can synchronize the psychology of anonymous people -- aka "decentralized trust". The hashing is the least interesting component of all that. However, since the "hashes" are the most "accessible" part of it (especially to programmers), that's what everybody ends up writing about! This has the unintended side effect if hiding the more groundbreaking ideas (the psychology) of distributed ledgers.
