Why do you want to sell this? if you are profitable and making 90k/year then it doesn't make sense to sell it. I would say rather try building a brand. Expand to one more location and increase revenue. Struggle for few more years and have at least 3-5 outlets and then think of selling it. The way I see it is you have a good business model and there is a scope in the market for such thing. You should rather focus on expanding than selling it.
This is really cool - the Open Container bundle format is quite easy to grok; it's a tarball* containing a config.json file for metadata, and a root filesystem. See: https://github.com/opencontainers/runtime-spec/blob/master/b...

I'm really digging the end result of the spec - it mostly defines a bunch of conventions on top of easy formats. Kind of wish the marketing around it would be less buzz wordy, because the end result is quite straight forward.

* (It's usually a tarball; nothing stopping you from sharing images over torrent for example.)

>I have a theory that Spotify doesn't do random shuffling, but weighted shuffling, so that new items are more likely to be at the top of a shuffle

Amazon Music does this and it annoys me. Just because I added something a while ago doesn't mean I want to hear it less.
I was running MCMC for a while just in probability space. That didn't last long! It's tremendously useful to work in log probability space. It adds tremendous expressivity close to zero plus makes most multiplications sums. I think similar methods are probably used in other sectors.

What I found remarkable though was the big difference I saw in old versus new compilers with respect to the diversity of random numbers generated. I first thought that it was the entropy available on my system but that didn't turn out to be the key factor. So watch out for old compilers!
>What irritates me now are more and more sites that only work with Chrome (where they literally throw up a page that blocks access and says go download Chrome).

Any example of this?. Because I've never visited such a site.

I really wish Google's Chrome spam wasn't "working" because I am so tired of it (and anything like it). This is a variation of the "Here's what's new in the app that you didn't know you updated!" dialogs that developers seem to like now.

If I could have software and services not totally derail what I was trying to do, that would be greaaaaaat.
>There is no either or.

Right, but it seemed like tedunangst's continuity suggestion was an answer to tptacek's "You cannot have privacy without some form of trust or identity."

Since continuity doesn't work for 1st contact, it still doesn't solve the fundamental trust issue. Based on the thread's context about the value or worthlessness of CAs... If you have to still use CAs for 1% of the key handshakes, "key continuity" seems like a tangent to the topic.

Theres a easy cure that will be the norm in 100 or 200 years, whenever we get sick of capitalism. You're right capitalism is not currently recognized as a form of government, but in reality it is the dominant form of government in the west.

The cure is, get this, transparency. It'll take some effort to get to a true transparent government and im calling this new form Transparentism.
> Sorry for a little childishness, but you're making preposterous claims ('gender is a spectrum')

Almost nothing is black and white in nature. The claim that something as complex as the brain would result in a single binary value for something as intricate (and pervasive) as gender identity seems significantly less likely than their claim.

Sure, it "could help". But let's say there are 2 identical sites. One site upgrades from DV to EV. The other site takes the same money and invests it in a Graphics Designer to make their home page look nicer.

Which one will sell more product? I'll put my money on the nicer-looking site every time.

The article was written in 2010 just before the release of JDK1.7. The above comments are for the JDK1.9 release in late 2017. Doug has had some time to improve his comments.

I don't think this or any paper like it pretends to be academic or scientific.

don't call them papers

This is ridiculous and elitist. Papers outside of peer reviewed academia can and do exist. If anything, academics ought to qualify what they mean when they say "paper".

Fascinating! I wonder if the distribution is engineered like that to avoid specious cheating claims. E.g. Player:"Look at this video of Famous_Player getting 3 crits in a row! They're probably cheating!" So much potential for fallacies; Gambler's Fallacy, Silent Evidence Fallacy..
Winamp shuffle randomizes without replacement. But you're right, it keeps the same shuffled order until you turn shuffle off and back on.
EV would be a lot more interesting if browser UIs did something useful with it, but there does seem to be major chicken/egg issue. An alert box which says "Are you sure you want to send this credit card number to a site that can't prove it's controlled by a legal entity?" may be useful for phishing prevention, but no browser would ever implement it until EV is more widespread.
> Coming from academia, these sort of papers would not pass any sort of double-bind peer review process. Where's the actual science? Where are the experiments?

Also coming from academia, I'm surprised with the amount of crap that makes it through "peer review". And there's nothing wrong with concept papers as long as they don't purport to be more than that. Lastly, I don't think the review stage is ever truly double-blind. In a niche field, you almost always have some idea of who the paper's authors are.
It is not an anonymous publication!

1. The article is based on a paper submitted to the prestigious CVPR, which is obviously not anonymous. ( https://arxiv.org/abs/1612.07828 ) They mention this at the end of the post.

2. The blog's "journal" name is misleading. It means "journal" in the sense of a record of some of the stuff happening at Apple. My guess is that the blog post does not name authors because it was written by an Apple representative who manages public communications---probably because Apple is very very particular about managing their brand and what they say publicly. I wouldn't put it beyond Apple to hire someone well-versed in ML just for this role.

So, while they are starting to allow researchers to publish, they have quite some distance to go to encourage their researchers to communicate freely. One step at a time, I guess...

PS: Somehow the SNAFU of deliberately calling it a "journal" is very reminiscent of Steve Jobs's chutzpah.

Basically the same reason that bitcoin mining is becoming centralized by a small set of miners in China.

At least there is a benefit to being close to the requestor in terms of bandwidth/latency so as long as the network rewards that storage should be more decentralized than mining.
For board games, like "Settlers of Catan" where resources are generated based on rolls of 2d6, one could use an analog version of this with a cup containing 36 chits, of the numbers 2-12 according to the normal distribution, _without_ replacement. You would still get the randomness of ordering, but over 36 draws/turns would get a complete "average" distribution.

If that is a bug or a feature is left as an exercise for the reader.
I am a bit confused. Is this basically a network where I can get help from an expert at a specific technology/application ? For example, if I am a zapier user, I can get direct help from a zapier expert ?

But then who is your target audience ? Is it SAAS providers (outsourcing their tech support to you?) OR the SAAS user (contacting you directly for help instead of the SAAS provider).
Unlikely. I've never seen a rail coach with its own power, other than perhaps some batteries for backup emergency lighting.

Coaches draw power from the locomotive which already has a huge generator to power the traction motors.
Yep, sorry poor grammar there. I've edited so hopefully it's clearer now.
That's not the same thing at all; you're suggesting an approach that probably takes more code and definitely takes more setup.

StorJ doesn't allow users to exchange coins for storage. Last I checked you had to buy storage from some kind of broker and conveniently, the only people running one were the StorJ devs themselves.

That level of centralization is unacceptable.
> USB has an actual PHY hardware spec for exactly that reason. And I'm not sure I buy your GPIO argument, not a hardware engineer but I've known several who all swear never to use fab-supplied GPIO blocks.

It's not "what does the the external spec require", it's "how do we achieve that at a given fab process". Ie. how do you achieve specific slew rate etc. on a given process?

> It may well be that DRAM's analog requirements are fab-specific (though I'd be a little surprised if it were that bad: these are full swing classic bus signals), but nonetheless most of the complexity in these controllers is in the logic side: clocking, refresh, bank mapping, ECC, etc... That's all stuff we could (and should) be writing in open source HDL.

There's plenty of open source implementations for the digital side of things. On this very github project:

The origin of that phrase is a supreme court case where the court ruled that the First Amendment didn't protect you from passing out pamphlets encouraging men to resist conscription during World War 1.

> I suppose they want researchers to be motivated merely by the ability to contribute knowledge

I might phrase it more as "They want researchers who are already motivated by the contribution of knowledge"

I know that if I were an ML researcher I would not be happy with all my findings being horded by a single company when the field overall is making lots of progress.
The point of a type system is to make it easier to reason about your programs, so a type system like C's, where almost all of the types are size specifications, like the difference between short and int and long, is almost orthogonal to the purpose of having a type system in the first place: It doesn't matter if someone's height in centimeters is an int or a long, it matters that it can't be added to their age in days, and if someone tries it, the compiler catches it and alerts the programmer to nonsense in the codebase.

Being able to represent both their height in centimeters and their age in days in a 32-bit integer is pointless trivia unless you're designing a bits-on-the-wire network protocol specification, or interfacing with hardware registers, or designing a binary file format, in which case C's type system still doesn't give you enough information, because endianness is not specified.

Object systems are an attempt at solving the "Foogols don't have real type systems" problem, but they drag in notions of hierarchy which don't always fit outside of toy problems, and not even then. Plus, Smalltalk-style object systems which mandate that everything must work via message-passing drags in even more complexity orthogonal to the idea of finally having a semantic type system. And as long as there are still size specification pseduo-types, boxed or unboxed, the type system still has an inherent hole in it, because you can still say nonsense which type-checks perfectly cleanly.

So saying Go has a strong type system and comparing it to OCaml or Haskell is meaningless, because the two kinds of type systems (that is, real, semantic type systems versus size specifications) aren't trying to do the same thing.

I can only speak for myself but I didn't leave Firefox for Chrome because of advertising. I left because a year ago Firefox was painful to use. Sync was (might still be?) incomplete, setting up quick searches was annoying, font rendering was poor, HiDPI support was crap, overall performance was noticeably slower than Chrome and they announced killing off advanced XPCOM based extensions so I figured I would just change over now rather than later.

You can use a library to insert text in a PDF but you need to figure out at what coordinates to position the text and how you want the text styled. If you are constantly adding PDF templates, this is cumbersome work. If you don't have a tool for figuring out the coordinates (like the editor on pdfotter.com), your developers will have to do this. The last company I worked at faced this exact problem and it took us hours to add PDF templates to the system.

I had an interview for an startup competition and i feel humiliated
I had an interview for an startup competition and i feel humiliated. Is it ok?

First, its not about a SJW or discrimination post.

I explain, i am an entrepreneur, my biz has run for 7 years, so im not a kid playing with some cellphone apps / arduino project and trying to sell some useless concept like many other entrepreneur around here.

However, i decided to start a second business, mainly because i have a big office and i have unused space. I found a new competition in Gust that i am currently participating and i think... well, a initial investment could helps, plus is the visibility of the project. However, they take around 10% of the project and it hurts (but shares could be diluted and its not cheat).

Part of the project involves an interview and i was less than pleased, while the interview process ran without much problem but it was a joke, a waste of my time. Why?. This interview was around asking me about the team and many other irrelevant questions, the interviewer never asked me about the main part of the project, customers, supply channels, costs and so on.

My question: i am wrong?. I feel that the interview was similar to a job interview.

Right now, i don't know if they will call me back (like an effin job interview) but i don't really feel that its worth. Money is always welcomed but im more for the visibility and some external feedback.
Where were you getting your kratom? Were you buying it from a vendor that also provides documentation from a testing facility to demonstrate that there were no adulterants? There are people participating in the kratom supply chain that adulterate the kratom that passes through their hands. Testing has shown kratom sprayed with opiates, or kratom adulterated with opiate potentiators (both herbal and not), and even stuff like kratom with green tea added to give it a better smell and flavor. For example, those teenagers that died in Sweden were found to have been taking kratom that was sprayed with O-desmethyltramadol (ODT) [0].

I purchase all of my kratom from a vendor that also provides documentation to prove that they're selling unadulterated kratom. Lots of vendors are resisting this, because they know the lengths some unscrupulous southeast Asian distributors will go to to get "the most fire kratom" to sell to American vendors (and lie about what they're selling). And there are known instances of American vendors realizing that they've been sold an adulterated batch, and then continuing to sell that kratom in order to not be holding a loss. I appreciate your recounting your experience, and I'm sorry to hear it was troublesome, but having used kratom for going on ten years now, and regularly taking extended breaks to keep my tolerance from building, my own anecdote is the opposite from yours: I experience little to no withdrawals whatsoever, and I take a relatively high dose. I understand kratom affects people differently, but the testing that's been done, and things added to kratom by the Indonesian or Vietnamese distributors' own admission shows that what people are buying could be anything.

As more vendors realize that regular testing and publication of the results is what consumers want, I believe we'll see fewer and fewer of these kinds of stories.

Settlers of Catan switched to this at some point--from 2 dice to a set of numbered tiles with the same distribution that you shuffle and draw from. It definitely pared some "oh man I'm so unlucky" scenarios from the game but I'm not convinced it made it more fun.

i was worried i was going to go back and look at the docs and see numerous glaring advisories that I'd ignored, having opted instead to read blatantly out of date pages, but no, apart from a few vague parenthetical warnings the docs all talk about building and working with ACIs and the appc spec.
They do it in Hearthstone for pack openings, the players call it the "pity timer" - you're guaranteed to get a legendary card after opening 40 packs or something like that.

Dota was my first thought when I read the article. Good Dota players pay attention to their crits, and if they haven't had one in a few hits they adjust strategy with the expectation of higher damage, something you would never do if it was truly random.
Yes, according to my former employer's marketing director but I never actually saw any evidence of this.
Yes, cross-browser support seems to be a low prio for Google nowadays. And the bad thing is that it does not hurt them but helps them to succeed.

I wished that instead of switching to Chrome, people would instead move away from Google Services like Hangout (Skype, WhatsApp, https://meet.jit.si/) or Gmail (posteo, mailbox.org) whenever they see a "This works even better in Chrome" notice…
I disagree with the article. When Firefox first got popular the default was internet explorer which was already installed on your computer. However because Firefox was so far ahead word spread and people took the time to install it.

These however there is no really big advantage to using Firefox over chrome, and when the difference is that close marketing and convenience will win. In other words if Firefox would've been on or with internet explorer years ago it would never have gained the market share it did in the first place.

It's not just a marketing issue but a combination of a marketing and engineering issue.

A business by definition means that you will have to deal with clients. Sure, it could be a product or service or a mix of both but you can never get rid of clients. Otherwise you have no business.

The only exceptions are the types where you run a profitable blog, online courses, ads and make money through those but even they require dealing with your clients at times (e.g. buyer of a course) but the interactions will be limited and much less demanding.
