Yes. How does 'snap' lose $443 million? How is that even possible given it's a simple iphone app (sure android too). The only explanation is piling cash into massive fires 24/7.
So you are saying Marijuana can help me lose weight..... I think you just sold it more.
You can start now by filing issues with your favorite extensions, trying to see if WebExtensions is on their radar. If so, they'll lobby Mozilla's WebExtensions group to get the missing features implemented.

What makes anyone's needs or social status less valid than any other library patron?
And still relevant. Some things don't change.
I actually argue that it's worse. In Python 3 you are FORCED to deal with unicode encoding; Python 3 does not react well with legacy data that should just be handled as is (without making things worse or incompatible).

The alternative is to use a byte array without an encoding, which would be OK if Python 3 made coercion between the two easy (and had the concept of a 'validated' unicode string; operations known to keep a unicode string valid could leave that set, otherwise it would be 'not validated' but you wouldn't /need/ to care).
Hitchwiki is very useful. There's been something wrong with downloading the point of interest lately though (timeouts with large datasets like the one for Germany).

Sounds like we're talking past each other, then.

The point I'm trying to make is that, thanks in a large part of very some "boom" you and I riding on, a lot of people not only can't afford to live in SF (or other pricier parts of the Bay Area) with a car and travel money -- nowadays, they can't afford to live there at all. Whereas 20 years ago, while it was never easy to make it in the Bay Area -- at least theoretically they could, at their skill and education level.

So while $120k may seem like chump change to you, it'd be a godsend to them. They may still not be able to travel, and they may have to cut back in a whole lot of other areas -- but at least they'd be getting by.

Which is again, the real "game" for most people.
As long as it doesn't realize it's easier to lie to humans about what it's ACTUALLY doing. Maybe make the explainer algorithm is non-ai-based, to ensure it doesn't optimize out honesty.
Report: Brands are falling for fake Instagram influencers
My experience is similar to yours, except I am not looking for anything else. I switched to Dvorak 8 years ago and I haven't looked back since. My speed was lower and might still be but I don't care, typing is a delight and relative to the amount of time I spend on thinking and reasoning I think the overhead of any loss in typing speed is probably insignificant. Vim is the only keyboard control that matters to me anyway. (Though Vim is far from the only program I use.)

I feel it's important to mention that much of my love for Dvorak comes from the grid layout keyboard I've been using for all these years (wore one out though but bought a couple more to replace it), and which remains my primary keyboard both at home and at work.

> if kalanick committed a crime, it is the state that pursues this in court

That's actually not how it works -- there can be both civil and criminal proceedings for a case, and very often criminal proceedings follow a complaint by a victim. The criminal proceedings deals with punishments related to breaking the law; the civil proceedings deal with damages caused to people (or businesses) by the crimes.

Also, indemnification has nothing to do with prosecution versus civil suit -- it's an agreement to pay the damages and fines related to the person's actions.

> suggesting private entities pursue criminals and "fight crime", perhaps as some form of vigilantism

They absolutely should!

By filing complaints and suing for damages that result from the actions of criminals -- which is what the fund is doing here.

A criminal may still be liable for damages via civil suit even if there's a lack of prosecution or an acquittal. People can (and should!) make use of the courts to pursue criminals.
there's been no perceptible change, and certainly not because of the management change.

That search bubble effect is part of the reason I switched to DDG. I have no interest in being stuck in a single echo-chamber. My searches cross-over many domains and interests.

Also, the first result for unzip in DDG is winzip, followed by 7zip. It' not as ambiguous as you think, since almost nobody is curious for the general definition of a semi-common word.

Also, Google keeps me in a Canada bubble which I also dislike.
The real value is in the underlying technology of the platform, the blockchain. Instant, secure transfers of value to anyone in the world at minimal cost with a publicly auditable ledger.

>I don't understand why it means that Bitcoin is insecure for people to be able to mine in their gpu.

What do you mean? People can mine with a gpu, but they won't make much because of the many miners using much faster ASICs. If you think Bitcoin should have been made so that ASICs weren't possible: a number of altcoins agree with that idea, but there's an argument to be made that optimized hardware is always possible, and by making it hard to make, it makes it more likely that a single small group who manages to make optimized hardware will be the only one to do so for a large time period, will be able to make huge amounts of profits funding more hardware, and at that point will easily be able to get up to >50% of the network hash rate (which breaks Bitcoin's decentralization and allows rewriting the blockchain). By using a proof-of-work that's relatively straight-forward to optimize means that when the possible mining rewards eventually incentivize development of ASICs, it's likely that multiple groups will be able to build them.
http://eazy.bike/ - Always find a bicycle or empty slots on bikesharing systems

Eazy.bike picks best bicycle stations considering real-time information of how many bicycles and free bicycle stands are available in more than 400 cities in 48 countries. Behind it uses machine-learning to predict what will be the availability of empty slots so that you can maximize the probability to find a place to park your bicycle.

It took me a huge work to write the whole stuff, API, Android, iPhone and web application, but I really like it.
Exactly. The quality and FOV of the original hololens is lacking, but the latency and tracking are mind blowing.

> Benchmark argues that it never would have granted Kalanick those three extra seats had it known about his "gross mismanagement and other misconduct at Uber"

Buyer's remorse! Investors think they deserve so much power because they put capital upfront and understand how to play the legal system to their benefit, while more industrious actors are busy actually building the value of the company.

Yeah and I can tell the folks at Benchmark about a bunch of guys I knew who wish they never would've gotten married. Oh well, when you take your vows... Till death do you part ;)
Ironically, that is precisely what's causing the influx of heroin from the southern border. Recent decriminalization and legalization of marijuana has significantly bit into cartel's profits, causing them to push much more heroin in an attempt to recoup their losses.
It's good to hear! Feel free to use it and tell me if you have any suggestions, or anything really
Most people on HN bearish on SNAP...and I am too in the short term. The problem with SNAP at the moment it is HARD to spend money on ads. There is no open API that individual businesses / ad agencies can use to easily spend...meaning longer iteration cycles for companies trying to figure out creative etc and turn it into a profitable channel.

As long as they can deliver SOME value to advertisers in the form of app installs/ traffic to site/whatever businesses will find it and do SNAP's job for them - turn it into a profit machine once they have programmatic access. From what I can see they are copying FB's ad platform which is great...once that API is out there I think it will be a different game.

Or they could just end up like TWTR
Was the rumored $30B offer from Google ever serious? This news only popped up recently with SNAP stock nosediving before lockup expiry for employees.

Another reason for turning down a buyout situation is the terms. They (Evan and the VCs) would not have such favorable terms as the IPO where they received substantial stock grants, liquidation preferences and retain absolute control over the company without requiring a large (any) financial interest.
"This required techniques sensitive enough to detect variations in the movement of the star as small as 30 centimeters per second."

This kind of precision sounds insane. It sounds like far more of an achievement than having found Earth-sized planets. Is there any layman explanation of how they do such a thing?

Its disapotiing to keep being downvoted just because im wrong. would love to see all these people im sure they never been wrong in their life.

anyways Travis said himself he is leaving Uber because his mother just died, which was not a lie. And I believe when your mother dies you need time to grief and its perfectly fine to take time off.

Energy storage is part of the model by default.

If you play with it here:

Click "Explore Future Assumptions" and you can toggle storage on and off. As expected, you can't rely solely on solar and wind when the storage toggle is off.
It's a different format from Reddit though — Reddit is a service where anyone can make their own subreddit, MeFi consists of a few sites created by the administrators. MeFi also doesn't have downvotes, algorithmic filtering for "hot" results, stuff like that.
I experience the same satisfaction when touch typing and thinking about typing motions, but I've always used QWERTY. Do you have any idea why you didn't experience this until you moved to Dvorak?

But why? What problem is this solving?

What happened to separation of concerns and all that?
My last company switched to samanage which was ok. They had a couple of nice features like an asset inventory, workflows so that we could create onboarding/offboarding and it would send emails to HR and helpdesk. We did need to purchase another solution to do AD authentication though, which was a downer. I've also used Jira Service Desk, of which the killer feature was that it had git integration, which I had a hard time finding in competitors. Honestly there are tons of choices out there. General features you should be looking for are: SSO, reports, customizable self service flows
Nonsense. Cortex (Josh) and mods have been working hard and it shows in that quality is what it's always been.
This is something i've been meaning to look into for a personal project that has a lot of time series data. It'll be interesting to see what they eventually come up with to make time series data not take quite as much space.

Mefi has always been to the left, everyone knows it. Just because it doesn't align your your politics doesn't make it bad. Probably does you good to get out of your own bubble.
That prevents lots of mistakes. You only specify encodings while reading external data, and then everywhere else in your code you know you are dealing with strings and that's it (instead of your code working until a random Fóréígner trips it out)
It's not clear. Even a mild wind storm creates myst.

this is so retarded. please fuck off.
I'm surprised no member of the public has shown up with boltcutters yet and told his security people to fuck off.
The devil is always in the details:

- You'd have to go through through a ton of red tape to sell your software to various govt agencies, in terms of getting approved as a vendor.

- Deployment complexity for various intelligence organizations is quite complex: air gapped networks, firewalls, and extremely locked down machines where getting a port opened is a bureaucratic nightmare.

- Data ingestion is a huge piece: don't forget that Palantir promises support for tons of different data types. Word docs, email, chat, GIS data, etc etc. hammering all this stuff into a relational schema and resolving entities (same person, different email) and de-duping is a nightmare.

- Have to support the inevitable waves of features that come in if basic functionality is successful.

The basic technical pieces, from everything I've ever seen with regards to palantir, are fairly simple. used to be Oracle, some Java services, some good frontend work with very good visuals. The real reason they've been so successful is less about innovative technology and more about managing operational complexity very very well.

Note that all this is secondhand information, I've never worked for Palantir and only know their product because we shared a lot of clients. I'd love to hear from someone at Palantir where I'm wrong.
> It's your job to not be wrong about knowable things.

I was requesting the parent to point out which of my points and why they are wrong. I think reply of such kind would be far more useful to many people here sharing similar views to mine on the idea of dark matter or usefulness of academic work in this direction.

> 'Read a summary of the literature if you are actually interested'

I am actually interested in what people here, including you, think of my points; I was hoping for substantive replies to them. Your suggestion to 'read up and shut up' comes out as arrogant and uncalled for.
Conversely calling people who enjoy coding as a hobby "obsessive wretches" also perpetuates bias.
Were that I lived closer, it’s what I’d be doing. Oooh, private security guards might harass me? If he is truly ignoring an order from the courts, would the cops not even bother to show up? I get booked on misdemeanor trespass, does it even go before a judge before I’m released? Lots of questions, but I’m sure there’s a reason the most surly of surfer folk aren’t keeping bolt cutters in the VW bus.

There has been no decline in quality and blaming cortex is utter bullshit. My guess is that the haters never liked mefi in the first place and are abusing the change in management to attack the site.
MeFi does tend to paint places such as HN with a broad brush, but such opinions should also cause some soul-searching in HN when the opportunity arises.
>come up with theories to explain why those results are the way they are, then make predictions with the theories to test on new data?

Probably never will happen in social science, and in much of medicine. Too many confounding variables.

I'm willing to bet that if we threw away all the "knowledge" we obtained from p-tests, and stuck only to the methodology you espouse, we would know far less true stuff than we do currently (albeit we would not know a lot of false stuff).

Simply put: Even though there is a lot of noise, we do know more using these methods. And the nice thing about bad results due to misuse of statistics: Much of it is not reproducible.

Ultimately, the problem isn't the use of these statistical methods. The problem is the lack of emphasis on reproducibility.
The idea is that the final part of the digestive system of pigs and squid tentacles have similar texture and appearance and the flavor can be similar, but so far there are no reported instances of the switch in meat sources happening.

I built a super lightweight web app to draw on images. It targets mainly cheap android phones that don't have storage for a proper app. It's called https://minimage.tk, and I use it all the time to annotate screenshots now. It was a nice pet project to build a progressive web app in full vanilla.
The arstechnica numbers surprise me, given the sheer difference between the Ryzen 7 1800X and the Threadripper 1920X compared with the 1920X and the 1950X; either you've reached more or less peak parallelism by 16 cores, or the larger L3 cache and quad-channel memory makes the difference. Or something's changed in the benchmark setup (be it the compiler or whatever) since the 1800X was done.
What happened to the previous attitude of 'say what you want, but accept the consequences'?

Sad to see yet another article perpetuating lies about the actual words of the document.
so did i understand correctly: you were put on hold and while on hold, you were fed audio adverts, some prefaced with "Hello, I'm your customer service representative" (with the obvious intention to raise your attention, eg, pause your main task, take the phone off speaker and hold to your ear)?

I had never heard of this until now. A new low. these guys are really focused on making sure those 14 minutes on hold actually feels like 14 whole painful minutes of waiting.

the reason you are calling CS to begin with is almost certainly because of some mistake they made; every minute you are on hold compounds that mistake, now this.
Well for starters they agreed to spend $400,000,000 a year with Google Cloud. On a quarterly basis they are giving Google more than half of their revenue.
Possibly a slight misunderstanding.

Nightly and unbranded builds will always respect that preference. Stable versions, starting with 57 will ignore it.
That argument leaves a lot to be desired.

Congrats on your "stuff" degree.
When you say this is a reverse image search, does it search over multiple images to find the one which matches the closest? In the demo it seems to only search over a single image to find the cropped, stretched or rotated part of the image. Do you also have examples of negative searches where it doesn't find the image in question?
It doesn't need to be another currency. You could have a lower security blockchain tethered to the main one, with higher capacity and lower fees but still carrying Bitcoin transactions. In general those are called sidechains, and there is a particular proposal right now called drivechain that might be worth a second look.

There are several other ways of transacting in Bitcoin outside the main replicated-everywhere-forever blockchain, Lightning perhaps being the most well known (with the defining feature of instant transactions).

Most of these systems are hard to implement without unmalleable txids, so interest will likely pick up now that we have segwit on the main chain. Those systems never left the idea stage while transactions were free but there's significantly more interest now. There are lots of interesting developments going on.

As alluded to in my other comment, I wonder why folks aren’t doing it themselves. He is probably using something better than he MasterLock you put on a garden shed, but an acetylene torch packs small if bolt cutters won’t do it.

One could have that whole thing in pieces in about ten minutes with a torch. There’s something I’m missing (like guards towers and German Shepherds), because I can’t be the only person on the West Coast thinking “oh, you just try and keep that gate standing; acetylene refills are cheap.”
Well, if only it was insects. It says insect filth and parts without specifying the proportion. People say 'yum' when they hear beef but it is a rare person who will have the same reaction to dung.
