Ask HN: What industry/dept. is easiest to sell to?
medical/Government seems to be the worst place to sell the product as it involves lot of regulatory hurdles and long sale cycles for a small software companies.
I find marketing dept. are easiest to sell to as they are always looking for novel solutions and are not considered "cost" centres.

> Imagine what would happen if engineers did this in Europe for every company that supported Muslim immigration

The teams would get much cooler, and with a great understanding of statistics. Most Muslims who enter Europe are not terrorists and do not support terrorism. All neonazis support the oppression of other races by violence if necessary.

That gives me a kind of funny idea: train a sequence-to-sequence LSTM network on code written in two (or more) programming languages that implement the same functionality. You'd need a big corpus, and the could would probably would have to be a little more complicated than "hello world, but I don't see why it wouldn't work, in principle.

I have little doubt that all this man owns could and would be taken away if he took any stance against the regime. He would either end up dead or in a hole.

There's nothing in an honest answer to the question he was asked by which could serve Beijing either from a political or a business perspective.

Likewise a propaganda based answer would have gotten him nowhere in any thinking society.
I do not know what sort of punishment could or would result for him from any fallout from a radio interview the in western media.

> People just do not have time for time-consuming installs.

I have two quotes printed on the back of my business cards. One of those is: "If you don't the time to do it right, when will you have the time to do it over?"

I remember hearing something to the effect of "temporary setups never are" and, in all but the most disciplined environments, I've generally found that to hold true.
From the article:

To show that the beetles were focusing on the Milky Way, the team moved the table into the Johannesburg Planetarium, and found that the beetles could orient equally well under a full starlit sky as when only the Milky Way was present.

If you are somewhere dark, the milky way is very easy to see . . . possibly the most obvious feature in the sky. It is just that light pollution makes it difficult to see from human-inhabited areas: a point which is actually raised in the article as a potential concern for animals that navigate by the night sky.
This is what I meant where libraries should evolve from being curators of books to adapting to new technology.

It also seems obvious that instead of access to libraries a better use of money would be access to the internet. SpaceX and Facebook are already working on solving this problem. It’s just a matter of technology and infrastructure. If it’s unfeasible to lay wires in remote areas maybe access to internet would better be served by satellites or balloons.

If a person is not educating themselves through the internet what makes you think they would educate themselves at a library? At some point it comes down to personal responsibility and as much money you throw at the problem it will never solve it.

A typical car will "last" 200k miles[1].

It's not really still a fair comparison to EVs, because a typical combustion engine will require significant and regular maintenance plus part replacement to make it to 200k.

> E.g. the automatic transmission failing, timing belt (instead of a chain) failing around 100k, alternator and other electronics, pumps, etc.

Exactly why EVs are such a game changer. They literally don't have any of those parts.

Why do you think "metacognitive skills" is better? The definition of "metacognition" is "awareness and understanding of one's own thought processes." How does that relate to what the researchers were studying?
Can they potentially go to a new registrar and register it there, without additional hassle, and assuming there's a registrar willing to service them?

If so, I'm good and crisis mostly averted. If not, I'm not okay with that. The term revoke, from the article and some searching, appears to be a permanent thing. As said already, I'd love to be wrong - but that's what revoke means to me and to a couple if quick searches.

When they revoke your license, you lost permission to drive.

Failing to see the problem is the problem.

Like a boil that can never be cured so long as it is covered up but must be opened with all its ugliness to the natural medicines of air and light, injustice must be exposed, with all the tension its exposure creates, to the light of human conscience and the air of national opinion before it can be cured.

-Dr. King, Letter From a Birmingham Jail
As many mention, the system is not infallible because data entry is as safe as those who control the input of it; it does not increase trust directly. However, what it does add directly is accountability. If each process, is suppose, transmitted automatically by NFC bundled crates through the supply chain, you have a guarantee of the process through the checkpoints (even if it may deviate) with the information and status of each crate, all the way to the store. More so, with the variety of information, such as average supply times, it becomes very difficult to defraud the next check in the supply chain. In addition, with the transparency of the blockchain the store can better determine the integrity of the entire process, as the actors now begin to approach perfect information. Further, now to defraud, becomes much more expensive as an effect of the checkpoints and metadata; this should further discourage defrauding.

Even better, with all this accountability, the system does becomes more trustable; the integrity of each actor is known and can be investigated independently (i.e. stores and consumers can choose which supply chain they want to be apart of because of this transparent blockchain). Not to forget, that with accountability becomes increased shared liability that then aligns each actor in the supply chain further to constantly check the integrity of the actors involved––or at least press the risk of an integrity inquiry.
Yeah, but the bright stars are a part of the Milky Way. So that doesn't address my question.

I recently deleted all my iTunes music since I listen to everything on Spotify or my podcast app (Downcast) now. I also updated to the iOS 11 public beta. Around the same time my car stopped playing anything via the USB cable, the car just said "no song" so I assumed it was an issue with the beta.

Literally yesterday I read about this "fix", so i re-downloaded the Music app and put just one song on it... yep it works!

Car players apparently assume you will only ever play music from the "default" library/app so when you connect it and it sees an empty library index, it assumes nothing can ever be played and just stops you there.

Very dumb.

Note, the programs listed under Pensions, Health Care, and Welfare account for 62.8% of the budget. While you are correct in your statement, I don't like your conclusion. We should spend the 2.5 trillion on social programs more effectively not try and 3.3 trillion the same way.
I have no idea where you got a mistaken impression of what's going on, but if you google [godaddy daily stormer] you'll find a ton of news stories explaining that godaddy told Daily Stormer to find a new registrar.

Securing an database at the software level is not necessarily ideal for many use cases.

Typically, I secure private resources via firewalls in the networking layer. A properly configured firewall with intelligent routing rules makes up for a lot of sins in both operating system and application security. If you have servers in a private subnet with a well defined gateway, application level security is just needless complication and overhead. Though admittedly, I am not a security expert.
It sounds like an interesting result, I look forward to reading the paper more carefully. That said, it's clearly not written for an academic journal. Section 2.4.3 is entitled "The Importance of Code Size", and explains why shorter code is better. I think you can argue that some academic papers are excessively concise, but this is a 58-page paper about an RNG. It is clearly not a journal paper and has a ton of extraneous content. I have to sympathize with the commenter that the author has made a trade-off and written a paper that's less rigorous than it should be (for peer review). I wonder why she didn't write 2 versions.

7 Handy Things Every Entrepreneurs Should Do to Simplify Their Life
Yes (EDIT: maybe? see below and comments)

To my knowledge, a registrar can't legally stop another registrar from taking over an arbitrary domain (they only have a say over domains delegated to them, and they have a contractual obligation to agree to a transfer of those if the domain owner requests it (potentially with exceptions of active lawsuits, but that doesn't seem relevant here)).

EDIT: Rereading the transfer policy and Google's terms, it looks like Google might actually hold onto the domain for the 60 day period despite having terminated their contract, they don't seem to be clearly required to release the domain in that case (which I assumed, apparently wrongly) and could block it for that period if they wanted?

Donations are really a 3 way tax break, I don't pay taxes on the gift, you don't pay taxes on the gift, and I don't pay income taxes on the money I use as a gift. (The arguable forth deduction is I don't need to realize capital gains before giving a gift.)

PS: The only way to actually lower taxes is to lower spending. Anything else is just shifting the burden to someone else.

True, framemaker was never cheap.

Have you read the Laundry Files, by Charles Stress? On similar lines..
From the article:

For a particular six-month period, Uber only monitored access to the account information of a select group. Who? Certain high-profile users, including Uber executives.

What was the upshot? In May 2014, an intruder used an access key an Uber engineer had publicly posted on a code-sharing site to access the names and driver’s license numbers of 100,000 Uber drivers, as well as some bank account information and Social Security numbers. The FTC says Uber didn’t discover the breach for almost four months.

The proposed settlement prohibits Uber from misrepresenting its privacy and security practices. It also requires Uber to put a comprehensive privacy program in place and to get independent third-party audits every two years for the next 20 years. You can file a public comment about the settlement until September 15, 2017.

Settlement agreement quote:

Under its agreement with the Commission, Uber is:

prohibited from misrepresenting how it monitors internal access to consumers’ personal information;

prohibited from misrepresenting how it protects and secures that data;

required to implement a comprehensive privacy program that addresses privacy risks related to new and existing products and services and protects the privacy and confidentiality of personal information collected by the company; and

required to obtain within 180 days, and every two years after that for the next 20 years, independent, third-party audits certifying that it has a privacy program in place that meets or exceeds the requirements of the FTC order.

This is a really smart way to do it.

Not really. This is due to the legacy of the iPod. Many cars integrated iPod specific systems years and years ago. The iPhones of today retained much of that compatibility. Apple could have removed iPod accessory support from the iPhone and this problem wouldn’t occur.
