> Its theme song is "Love and Marriage" by Sammy Cahn and Jimmy Van Heusen, performed by Frank Sinatra from the 1955 television production Our Town.

...

> The Sony DVD box sets from season 3 onward do not feature the original "Love and Marriage" theme song in the opening sequence. This was done because Sony was unable to obtain the licensing rights to the song for later sets. Despite this, the end credits on the DVDs for season 3 still include a credit for "Love and Marriage."

I apologize, unfortunately it's too late to delete or modify my comment.

It was put on a list of free/open software that we can't use at work awhile back, apparently for another reason. I should have checked first.

Blocking isn't really necessary. How many attempts could an AP process per second? Not enough to try a large dictionary with variations.
How would/could this kind of stuff work with e.g. EMV / contactless payments? Or, OpenPGP over NFC?

I've seen tons of RFID implantable chips which aren't that interesting, I've also seen NFC ones but they just look to be read/write storage...
This is a click-bait title. They are adding a new Paint product called Paint3D. Which is probably there to accompany the Surface products which they are trying to sell as designer and drawing products. Either way this headline is very misleading.

It is, quite widely.

The problem is that the two main camps on what should be done instead each think the other proposal is even worse than the currently broken state.
When I wrote that sentence I thought about changing "shareholders" to "members" or "stakeholders", but then I left it as it was because it seemed to more clearly represent the contrast or absence there of to for-profit corporation.

I'm board member of smallish Czech non-profit and one of the things I've found out is that the legal requirements on the corporate governance structure are mostly equivalent to what is required for publicly tradeable corporation that is actually not publicly traded, thus for me it makes some sense to equate voting members to shareholders.

That's how I feel too. I dislike Amazon's power and potential future power quite a bit. But the US at least isn't consistent with how it's going about things.

Speaking of which, I haven't heard much about the At&t and Time Warner merger in some time. Campaign Trump did say he wouldn't allow it :p
I think in some municipalities you can walk down to the planning and get most the blueprints you would like.

Where you can't it is partially because the analogy breaks down physical is slightly reduced by openness, its allows attackers of all kinds to plan better. More manpower can be focused to overcome and issue and a map is force multiplier. Security in information systems is strictly increased, because the flaws exist open or close, but when exposed in the open they are closed forever to all attacker regardless of manpower.
You can't brute force a nonce offline when you don't know if you answer is right unless you ask the AP. Different protocols than sending hashes where you can tell if your hash is correct just by looking at it.

You are right that the AP couldn't block you without blocking everyone, but since you need to check your answer with the AP for each guess your attack becomes extremely visible. I guess you could still DDOS the AP by sending auth requests faster than it allows but that doesn't hurt the channel any more than barrage jamming which is un-blockable.

Hey frik, former Uber engineer here. I never worked on Jaeger, but I loved using it at Uber.

If you want to get started, the documentation is at http://jaeger.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

We also have a blog post that describes the history of Jaegar and some of the design decisions. https://eng.uber.com/distributed-tracing/

Jaegar is compatible with the OpenTracing standard ( http://opentracing.io/documentation/pages/supported-tracers ) and is also compatible with the Zipkin backend and wire protocol ( http://zipkin.io/ ).
Most of Markdown is great for me and feels natural. Headings, bold, italics, lists -- those are all great.

Examples that don't feel natural are image syntax, dropping down to HTML for unsupported features (pre-supposes output format), emphasis on presentation vs. semantics, the various flavors of writing tables, etc. How do I write an index? A table of contents? Any way to differentiate a footnote or an aside from a basic link?

YAML front matter is a great ad hoc standard for including metadata about a document within the document. It would be great if the various flavors of Markdown standardized on that, too.
In my opinion, with a couple of phase 0 devices sitting in their fancy lock-tite boxes gathering dust - while the dev workbench is littered with current-target mobile devices far in advance - the only difference is that the hardware team behind OpenMoko ran out of gumption/funding/$$$.

Hardware is much harder to do, the more you screw it up.

Designs which don't work - i.e. basic power management - will cripple early-stage hardware development, and its one of the reasons hardware, is well .. hard.

OpenMoko didn't screw up, open-source-wise, no sir. I think you are mistaken in this claim.

Where they screwed up is not getting the hardware really nailed, such that it warranted actual production in the 10's of 1000's of units. It had to work, and you have to ship in the 5x'es before you gain any traction with a new hardware platform.

OpenMoko was many things (I still have 3) .. but it wasn't a failure of open source software. Without that stack, the thing wouldn't have even gotten off the ground. It didn't reach orbit, because of that 5x traction ..
Question from someone who is not knowledgeable in ML or AI: Do current implementations of ANNs allow trying out these different types of organizations/structures? Is the structure and workings of neurons sufficiently similar to ANNs that the architecture transfers, or are there huge differences that make understanding and development orthogonal?

It's a near certainty that Amazon will lower prices at Whole Foods (by accepting lower margins and targeting faster growth and expansion), so if anything, it'll improve affordability.

But how, in the end, did that affect Oracle? Did their stock price drop? Were they unable to sell things? Or did business kinda go on as usual?

The comparison isn't as appropriate, as Oracle is a much bigger company, and is able to handle the loss of that many people in a better way. But the jist is similar.

Haha yeah I was thinking the same thing. What does any of this have to do with your average consumer. Whole Foods was never about that.

Regardless, Amazon might cut Whole Food prices if they do anything with prices. There's no way they'll ever raise them.

Ask HN: Is someone at GitHub having a rough day today?
Earlier today I got an email that looked like this:

This email is to confirm that you’ve deleted your account ‘<accountName>’ from GitHub. Your repositories and content have been deleted from the system. If you were on a paid plan, you will not be billed again. We’re sorry to see you go. You can reply directly to this email if you have any questions or feedback, we’d love to hear from you.

Later on in the day I received this email:

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for writing in about this.

Earlier today during some maintenance on the site, members of GitHub staff accidentally deleted your personal Github account (username: <accountName>).

We are deeply sorry for the inconvenience.

We are currently working to restore the account to its previous state and we will update you by email with any updates.

Thank you for your patience and understanding. If you have any questions or concerns, please reply here.

Sincerely,
<GitHubEmployeeName>

Did this happen to anyone else today?

Yes, because you implied it came with respect. It doesn't always.
Ten years ago I was a big fan of IIT and Giulio Tononi. But today, I prefer the reinforcement learning paradigm. It's much more powerful. Instead of consciousness, we have agents that perceive the environment and act, in order to maximize rewards. Agents are also endowed with the power to simulate / imagine possible futures so they can plan and reason. An agent is something concrete, consciousness doesn't even have a definition, that is why I appreciate the RL paradigm. It brings concreteness to an almost metaphisical research topic.
Sounds interesting – will do – thank you!

>You can obviously avoid marriage in the first place, in order to maximize services or avoid taxes.

No, you really can't. Do you seriously think the state is going to pay out more benefits to parents solely because they haven't signed a marriage certificate?

You _can_ absolutely qualify for more benefits if the other parent is unable or unwilling to contribute financially and the state is unable to coerce them to do so. But the state goes after the other parent first.

Part of the reason these programs are so harmful is that they provide incentives for the father to stay away from the children. Staying around to raise the children makes it a lot easier for the state to A) find him and B) make the case that he's the father or has taken on a fatherly role and is therefore responsible for paying for them.
Yup, those outlying areas are great. But they're getting expensive too - you're looking at $700k plus for a townhouse in Walnut Creek, and homes are over a million. And you're already looking at a 45+ minute commute to the city via BART.

There's simply no affordable place within an hour of the city. That's not just because of bad public transportation - that's because of poor housing policy.

It's so frustrating that the data derived from this reality never agrees with these simple economic theories I derived from first principles and my econ 101 class that are so obviously correct.

I blame the so-called "experts" and their propaganda about "complexity" and "human behaviour" for distorting the efficient market. In the cases of historical data it seems they have even retroactively distorted the markets.
Well yes but morals and ethics are almost by definition about valuing the interaction between people. As such, even if you assume that moral is subjective, if you only have your own personal morality, that's rather useless - it only becomes useful if you can agree with some other people about common rules of behavior.

You could say for yourself "I personally don't believe in private property, so I don't see any objection with theft" but my hunch is that this argument wouldn't do much to calm the victim of your theft.

That proposed code of ethics in software seems like an attempt to create exactly such an agreement.

I have worked at a mobile ISP before. I don't know what VZW is doing here, but there are a few reasons you might run an experiment. Most often for me it was to troubleshoot a technical issue.

To try to get an idea of user behavior we would run "experiments" on previously collected data, i.e. rely on natural experiments - not change things and then see what happened.

In every case the experiments I was part of were to see if we could improve user throughput, not degrade it.

> Peering disputes have always been when the party wanting to peer had an unbalanced traffic ratio, and the other party didn't want to peer (possibly for other reasons), and they started much earlier than the network neutrality debates.
The recent changes are more around who is involved in the peering disputes. It used to be smaller ISPs trying to get peering with larger ISPs, such as Cogent trying to get peering with [name your favorite, or PSINet vs Cable and Wireless; and most often the ISP refusing to peer didn't have residential customers themselves. Now it's more often the content providers themselves trying to peer with the residential isps directly. A major factor here is the huge consolidation of residential ISPs, but also the consolidation of content providers.

> Consolidation of residential ISPs means each ISP is big enough to run their own backbone, and as a result they can credibly have strict peering requirements. Smaller, regional ISPs will tend to want to peer, because otherwise the traffic will come through on paid transit connections. Large ISPs may not care; because of their size, they may not be paying anyone for transit, and because of the common asymmetric nature of residential connections, there's not likely to be many networks where the large ISP is on the wrong side of the ratio.

> If I were one of these content providers, I would spend a lot more time messing with the large ISPs. Figure out how to make the traffic cost them money, so they'll want to peer. Provide transit to data backup services to try to make the ratios less unbalanced. Run campaigns suggesting that residential ISPs should be paying their customers, given that the traffic is unbalanced. Etc.

I can upload all my files to Google Drive and all my photos and videos to Google Photos if you think it helps the ratio...

Epic 2014: the future from 2006 with the wrong names but the right concepts
For all practical purposes its true. There has never been a major malware outbreak on iOS, and iOS has never been more secure than it is now.

A while back Apple started pulling anti-virus apps from the app store presumably because they aren't needed: https://9to5mac.com/2015/03/19/apple-app-store-antivirus/. For contrast here is Microsoft's official article on protecting your PC from viruses: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/17228/windows-prote...

In addition, about 80% of iPhones in use are running the latest version of iOS. Apple can patch exploits and have the majority of iPhones secured in a short amount of time. iOS is unique in that respect, and that is just one mitigating factor that makes iOS malware very implausible.

Best/Worst COTS desktop software APIs
I've had to work with some horrible APIs for proprietary software in my time, and I'm interested in knowing other people's experiences.

I'll start with my worst: Photoshop!

-Terrible documentation

-Multiple conflicting APIs

-Super steep learning curve in some parts

-APIs that never escape beta before deprecation

-Cut-down and locked down environments (JavaScript)

-Impenetrable internal scripting syntax

-Key aspects of the application locked out from scripting

Uber's Southeast Asia rival Grab grabs $2B in fresh funding

The entire pricing scheme is an elaborate sham if you ask me. My wife had to have surgery. A outpatient laparoscopic procedure that required cutting a tendon. The time she spent at the facility (from the when they took her back and discharged her) was about 3 hours. A month later we got a statement showing they tried to charge $67k and were denied… followed by a separate bill for $7.5k We ignored the bill and contacted Anthem who said the hospital didn’t code it correctly. Anthem said they would resolve it. A month later… another attempt to charge $67k another separate bill for $7.5k. Again we repeated the same process. This time it appears it went through. Final total when they “coded it correctly” was $74k.

I have a friend who had to have an emergency appendectomy this year. She paid $1500 for it after insurance. My father had knee surgery he says they tried to charge the insurance company $64k for it.

At this point I think the pricing is all arbitrary. It’s about them trying to charge what they think they can get away with and sticking you for the rest. Kind of like raising the price so you can offer a deep discount later on. I think the real price of the surgery (without insurance) was probably the $7.5k.

I can think of no other business where you agree to have work done without an agreed upon price. The insurance company will tell you it’s covered but the hospital you go to may decide to play games with you. At the very least I suppose they are just hopping you pay so they can collect interest on your money on it before sending it back.
Well, first example was a complete failure.

I uploaded a picture of Lactarius indigo, one of the safest mushrooms to eat because it pretty much doesn't look like any other type of mushroom. (The trade-off for this certainty is that it is pretty bland tasting.) It is very difficult for a human to misidentify it. The results are below:

I think it's: Laccaria amethystina

Or perhaps Russula cyanoxantha , Lactarius indigo , cortinarius iodes , or Cortinarius alboviolaceus

So, the right ID is in the list, but it's not the #1 guess. This could be useful for trained mushroom hunters who just want to narrow down the possibilities to check up on. I definitely would not trust an amateur with it though!

Mm it's a little sparse right now - had to dig into the opentracing spec, dig in to the implementations and make it piecemeal.

OpenTracing is for everyone - both tracing implementors (eg. Jaeger engineers) and for you implementing tracing in your system. As an implementor in your system you mainly care about the "vocabulary" and "standards" opentracing defines.
So, if you've got two functions (A which calls B) opentracing defines:

- Syntaxes to say that the span for "B" is a "childOf" "A". This gives you the graph I had above.

- Syntaxes to attach errors and other information to spans in a standard way (this lets any opentracing-compatible UI display/search errors etc): https://github.com/opentracing/specification/blob/master/sem...

OpenTracing also allows you to define functions that follow each other: https://github.com/opentracing/specification/blob/master/spe....

Plus, defines abstract ways of passing tracing contexts through service boundaries (ie. from client => API server => other microservices) via strings and HTTP headers.

Also, the best part of opentracing (in go) is that you can use it directly to set these fields (https://github.com/tonyhb/personal-starter/blob/master/pkg/a...). You can pull in the "github.com/opentracing/opentracing-go" library and use it to create and propagate your spans and contexts, and set errors using the default vocabulary (https://godoc.org/github.com/opentracing/opentracing-go/ext).

Been meaning to sort my blog out and write some posts on this as the implementation documentation is sparse. Some time soon.
