> Getting a little tired of these 'exposure will cure-all' type of comments. The only thing accomplished by not quashing sites like Daily Stormer is desensitizing us to them which only leads to legitimizing.

Perhaps this is because not enough people are stepping up?

When was the last time you challenged a proclamation from some Fox News ditto head? When was the last time you looked at someone in your family spouting racist garbage and called them out on it?

"Exposure cures all" only works if someone is also willing to take on the challenge of creating the exposure.
The way I read it you collect 17% once they start earning $50k+. Do you really collect nothing if their first two years are below?
Most likely no.
I looked this up, after ten seconds said "I'm too old and too busy for this shit" and closed the window. This is probably why I'll never be a millionaire.

The first things you should do is identify what it is you're trying to create, what your skills are, and what your options are. Also, what platforms you need to support.

The more platforms you need to support with the fewer people, then the more web-based options may appeal to you. Electron works well enough for a lot of applications, and gives you the big three desktop environments. Judicious use of Cordova gets you the two big mobile options. It won't run as buttery smooth as native, and is very easy to let bloat if you don't keep on top of your dependencies.

Java is a bit less liked for desktop applications, mainly because they tend to look clunky, or are otherwise requiring a larger runtime as a prerequisite.

.Net has similar issues. For desktop applications the Xamarin tooling, now in the box, is a decent option, but you will get a few headaches. While I personally prefer C# as a language to Java, the latter is definitely got a bigger community.

QT, etc, are non-starter if you also need a mobile platform.

In the end it really depends on what you need to accomplish and what skills/tools are brought to the table. I'd lean towards using Electron/Cordova for any proof of concept just because it's easy to move fast on that side. I also happen to like Node a lot. You may also want to consider ReactNative as a first or second pass depending on your targets, again.
Well, right, but there are biases that are hard to account for; and saying "I know I am probably biased, so I will act on the margins to try to correct that" is in no way irresponsible.

Choosing the best team for the job is always the goal.

And once again, the hard work isn't just the interviewing - it's managing the ongoing workplace environment, day to day.

> because data is replicated between many people

Yes, so you are designing a distributed system with a higher failure rate of the underlying media. That means you need more replication, so you need more people to donate space.
sometimes i drink; sometimes i don't. when i don't, somebody will notice and comment about 90% of the time.
This is a tricky issue that has more to do with user psychology than technology. While the data is public, most users do not understand the persistence characteristics of data, especially in the presence of 3rd parties.

In a world where there are no (persistent) copies made by third-parties, the user still is in control of the visibility of their data by updating their profile directly on LinkedIn to show/hide pieces as they see fit. With a 3rd-party in the picture, updates to user-data may or may not be respected by the 3rd party, leading to poor user-experience.

Quoting the article, "HiQ Labs uses the LinkedIn data to build algorithms capable of predicting employee behaviors, such as when they might quit."

Based on that one statement alone, as an employee, I would be uncomfortable with the use of my data to supply my employer with my future plans before I choose to disclose it myself. That choice is mine, and mine alone; not something to be monetized simply because the option exists. And while I have no control over the sharing of data, should something like this happen to me, I'd be more inclined to stop using LinkedIn, which in-turn affects LinkedIn's ability to do business.
Yes, essentially. I've worked in the industry for close to 20 years and that bar for "contractors" is quite low indeed.

Ask HN: Is there a registrar whose TOS *doesn't* forbid hate groups?
GoDaddy and Google have both refused to have Daily Stormer's domain name registered in their systems. Now Zoho is going to stop providing services to them as well -- as they all should.

But, shouldn't ALL service providers (at least in the US) have a TOS that prevents hate groups? The options must be quite limited.
Why do hotels still put a Bible in the nightstand?
People value tradition. Look how many brands advertise "since 1882" or whatever. There's something endearing about a factory that's been operating for generations. It's sad to see it close and people lose their jobs.

More than that, there's a strong perception that American goods are superior to cheaper foreign made ones. I don't know if that's true in this case but it doesn't seem unlikely. Look at all the people about to get blinded by foreign made solar eclipse glasses.
> When viewed as a whole, it's clearly a problem for software engineering (as people in the field have been claiming for years).

So then we should have an article quantifying that with a fancy NYTimes data visualization, instead of just forming a perception based on what is truly just a handful of articles.
Since a small percentage of users would change their default search, shouldn't Apple develop / buy (and improve) their own search engine to replace google. Most people won't know the difference, I'm betting. It seems to me that Apple is throwing away $25-3 = $22 billion per year.

50 us, you mean.

They claim a nicely low input referred noise (~4 uV), so 19 kHz should be great for spike detection, though as you note upthread it's a little low for spike sorting: it's nice to have at least 30 kHz.

I wonder how much weight savings they got over combining a wireless chip and a bare-die Intan [1].

> Even with BLAS enabled, NumPy has almost zero intrinsic parallelism, np.dot() being the notable exception which releases the GIL and uses multicore by itself.

Is there any sort of list (comprehensive or otherwise) that denotes which NumPy functions are parallelism-friendly? I mean this whether it's in terms of releasing the GIL, in terms of SIMD support, or in terms of being multi-core.
Then why are they "tired" of such comments?

Has anyone here ever actually been near a group of, say, more than two actual nazi skinheads? Would you discuss their ideas in their basement?

I'm not for censorship either, but I know what would be needed to confront such people -- namely, going past their "ideas" and to the root, their fucked up, impotent personality -- isn't even allowed on HN. If you get personal here, you're gone. So that's laughable from the get go in a way.

Yet if you discuss "ideas" with a Nazi, you're just in endless quick sand. I tried discussing with Nazis, and I'm still up for it (I even tried discussing with pedophiles, but I totally noped out of there because it also achieved nothing and it was even more depressing than the Nazis). But I know the murderous cold that lingers there, and how no Nazi stands on their own. If you win the argument, you get a cold smile saying "just you wait", and that's it. Then you're back to square one. But if you didn't even try that you simply don't know what you're even talking about.

edit: take the guy who murdered one person and wounded 19 severely by driving with their car into protesters. His father died early and his mother didn't know what he was up to. I'll just say, this family could used help 10-15 years ago. I don't know how or by whom, but in a magical fantasy world, that would have been the correct solution -- now you can do nothing, just look at the spilled blood. If you want to prevent more of that, look at the people who are growing up with pain today... but by the time their fist is clenched beyond a point, it will take something special or very big to change them, and otherwise they will just hate or even kill, just dwindle mentally or even suicide. Hitler wasn't random, he's the prototype. Stalin wasn't random, he's the prototype. Mental issues are the problem, fucked up childhoods are the problem, not "ideas". Don't assume everybody is that far gone, but also don't delude yourself thinking this is about ideas. And frankly, too many people here aren't even on to themselves enough to meaningfully look at anyone else's personality, and should deal with their own obedience and hiding behind abstractions first.
Many would agree with you, but the "Steve-jobsing it" comparison comes from Travis himself.

I certainly concede that Google's firing of James Damore is a rejection of the cultural value I was talking about. I didn't mean that every institution in the US accepts it, just that it seems to be more accepted than it is in other countries.

I don't have much insight into European companies and how strongly they protect speech as a matter of policy, but rulings by the EU have been extremely discouraging. Here are some examples:

1. The EU's "right to be forgotten" can compel the removal of content that is both true and relevant. [1] In the US, my right to publish true facts about you trumps your right to have them swept under the rug.

2. The EU can compel publishers to remove content they deem "hate speech." [2] If you look up the EU's definition of hate speech, it actually sweeps broadly into what the US would call protected speech. For example, Germany's "incitement of popular hatred" [3] can be used to prevent newspapers from advancing the argument that migrants are disproportionately likely to commit crimes. Since there is no truth defense against hate speech accusations (unlike libel in the US), a newspaper that is dragged into court on hate speech charges couldn't defend itself by proving that what it wrote was true.

> Free speech is not just a constitutional amendment, it's a cultural value.

Its a phrase that different people use to express different culture values, but the one behind the Constitutional Amendment is, very clearly given the other evidence of the ideology of those wrote it, the freedom of private parties to speak and to use their own property to distribute their own speech and that of which they approve without constraint or compulsion by government.

It is not the idea that private parties, in general, are obligated, morally or otherwise, to amplify speech whether or not they agree with it, indeed, it is diametrically opposed to that idea.

It is true that there are some people who hold to the latter value and call it free speech, but that is entitlement rather than liberty.
I have no love for linkedin, but not sure of your position.

They collected the data, host it, etc, and incur costs for doing so. Just because they allow the public to access it, doesn't mean the public should have a right to re-use it.

People argue that the data is public. I say that's not the issue. While the data itself might be available elsewhere, it is raiding the _collection_ of it that is being argued, not that 'public' data is 'private'.

The _value_ that LinkedIn adds is that they've built the structure to collect and maintain the data. They are _not_ asking the court to prohibit anyone from collecting the same data on their own, at their own expense. If someone wants to start a rival LinkedIn, they are free to do so.
> If CPU load is an issue, why would you be using an interpreter in the first place?

You're basically asking why NumPy, SciPy, Numba, etc. even exist.

They exist because Python is ridiculously fast to develop in compared to, say, C++.
"Not to mention in the book the Kan is Kublai instead"

That's in the sequel, The Return of the Condor Heroes, which depicts events after the death of Genghis Khan.

And since you mention Kublai, Genghis Khan only started the conquest of China. He only managed to conquer West Xia before his death. The rest of the conquest of China was done by his descendants, and so I believe most of the atrocities towards the Chinese occurred then.

This particular problem was never really an issue for Mozilla, because the codebase has used fixed width types (first the NSPR types and later the stdint.h types) for 20 years.
Would it present a problem for cryptography though? Quadratic algorithms are seen as already slow, cubic algorithms as unbearable garbage you best try to avoid if your data size is not tiny. And this completely ignores constant factors that can play a big role. Homomorphic encryption for instance fails to be usable just on a huge constant factor.

"In a press statement, LinkedIn says: "Our members control the information that they make available to others on LinkedIn and they trust us to honor that control. HiQ is taking member data, without their knowledge, and using it for purposes our members haven't agreed to.""

I use a text-only browser. As old-timers know the first web browser back in the early 1990's was also text-only. Text-only atill works great, believe it or not. Especially for reading information like one finds on LinkedIn.

I cannot acess LinkedIn after the Microsoft acquisition.

Microsoft says members control access. Do they check a box that says

[ ] Disallow blind users from viewing my profile as text-only.

or

[ ] Disallow access by HiQ.

The Microsoft statement says HiQ is "taking member data" without their knowledge. This sounds as though members are unaware "they" had a decision to make whether HiQ can access their profile, or whether a noncommercial user can access their profile with, e.g, links, w3m, lynx or the W3 Consortium's line mode browser. Indeed I doubt members either know or care about such access.

And if Microsoft partners with a company such as HiQ, then do members get a veto on use of their profile?

I think members probably have no right to even be informed that such partnerships exist!

Did LinkedIn members have any say in whether the company could sell itself, and control over access to their profiles, to Microsoft?

Web users today generally have little ability to control how companies share their data (e.g. with advertisers and partner companies).

We saw this type of argument in the 3Taps case. Where we were asked to believe Craigslist users were the ones enforcing their copyright or that they designated Craigslist to act as their agent. Anyone who uses the web knows this is utter BS.

"U.S. District Judge Edward M. Chen will preside over Thursday's hearing. At an earlier proceeding, on June 29, he appeared torn by the issues presented.

"You can get it manually if you hired a hundred million people to do it," he observed, "but if you want to do it quickly and automatedly, you can't do it? That is a crime?"

Machine learning has improved by leaps and bounds in the last half decade. Much of that progress has yet to make it out of the lab. But that's typical for new technologies, and will happen eventually.

It's not a huge technological leap from "robot learns to play Dota" to "robot learns to stitch baseball gloves". Machine vision and reinforcement learning were always the technologies holding back interesting applications of robotics. And now they are basically solved problems.

As a long time songwriter, I would say the very best songs come when you pick up an acoustic guitar and just thrash it out quickly. Thinking too hard is the enemy of songwriting. I write all kinds of music, from electronica to metal to ambient, and they all start on an acoustic guitar.

Understanding harmonic theory (mainly chord progressions) and harmonic rhythm is important because it allows you to know what may work for your next chord. You don't want to interrupt the flow of energy when you have to stop and search for the chords in the key you're working in.

Here's my method: Quickly write on guitar -> quickly record raw acoustic into computer -> write down chord progressions -> start replacing harmonic elements with other instruments -> change chord voicings to add interest -> add drums -> establish melody -> record vocals -> add elements that create variation/interest (one-shots that only occur once and break up any repetition) -> mix.
I've long quit being surprised at default search results coming up through Bing/Yahoo these days. Shocker at first, though.
There's also Mick Goodrick's masterpiece, "The Advancing Guitarist". which is still probably the single most inspirational guitar specific book I've ever read. I've had it for 25 years and still find it inspiring to look at.

This seems like a convenient time to remind folks that it is incredibly important to stand up against this kind of government action not only when it is conducted against your political allies, but especially when it is conducted against your political enemies. Even if this were a pro-Trump website being subpoenaed, this should sicken you nonetheless. Short-sighted political gain might be had by allowing the government to stomp all over political dissidents you don't agree with, but in a few short years you might find yourself on the receiving end of the same treatment you endorsed. My hope is that those in the alt-right will realize that supporting this kind of action may hurt themselves just as much as it hurts the anti-Trump folks.
Here's the thing: Python, especially 3.6, is such a well rounded language that all
other major limitations have IMO been solved already. In my view the GIL is the main one left, and reason to pause and think whether python is a good idea at the start of a project. Removing it is therefore worth it, and would also give a nice additional incentive for everyone to switch to python 3.x, so we don't have to keep on maintaining 2.7 with the same code (i.e. the worst of both worlds).

Well, on average people who make $13,000 / year spend about 9% of their total income on lotteries. It skews higher for non-whites.

For people who make 100k a year they spend about $300 a year on lotteries.

Many states generate more revenue from lotteries than by taxes, so this is a regressive hidden tax effectively.

States also tax ticket sales for lotteries at close to 40% so it's also the worst investment tax around.

Lotteries are used by states to generate money from vulnerable poor populations and move that money back up to support other programs that wealthier folks enjoy.

Here is an indepth article outlining more. Unfortunately some of the links are broken, but I will update you if I find the base research studies mentioned.
