Actual high-performance-computing clusters are typically used efficiently, running well-tuned code. BLAS libraries (matrix multiplication) are usually very heavily optimized.

Of course, a lot of code just uses these optimized building blocks and ends up doing multiple passes over the data instead of doing more with each pass while it's still hot in cache. It's disappointing that we still don't have optimizing compilers that know how to produce code for an efficient matrix multiply or something, and be able to mix in some other work right into that.

Your point definitely applies to server farms, though, running a huge stack of interpreted languages and big clunky "building blocks" instead of something written efficiently.

Can you list any examples? My hunch is that there are good reasons javascript is included on most sites where it is found.

Some of the incentives fueling this trend could be viewed as undesirable (e.g. monstrous ads on news sites as a desperate bid for profitability), but that doesn't negate the fact that the incentives exist, and aren't simply "people love over-complicating stuff".
Yup - they've been heavily subsidizing rides recently (even more so than usual) to pull booking numbers up!

They may be called startups but they still have hundreds of millions in funding and large intellectual resources. Many of the ideas are wildly off the wall but they're backed by a lot more than a few guys in a garage.

That's certainly true, but I suspect I'd have been just as confused even before I moved here. Today, I know my meat is pretty clean. Back then, I'd have assumed it was clean because it hadn't made me sick.
FWIW iOS doesn't report your location as 0,0, it refuses to give a location at all. Someone at Uber clearly was just being lazy and defaulted the location value to 0,0 when it didn't get the real location.

If you are single and renting, you don't get deductions and if you are having family then probably it is not worth moving anyway. Even less if you already have mortgage somewhere else than NL. So I do not feel it is useful to compare different countries. Unless for single people renting flats who could move quite easily.
But all of things will never be found, if google or facebook don't point you to them. The author was saying, these 2 portals control access to everything else. Without join those 2 platforms, you have no visitors, thus the dark web.
You sound like someone who angrily voted for trump.
Right now, the biggest problem Life Bot solves for Alexa users is that we bring voice reminders out of the home - If you set a reminder using Alexa, it's only useful if you're around the device to hear it go off. Life Bot sends you your reminder via SMS so where ever you are you'll get it!

As we add more productivity features to Life Bot, we're also removing the need for user's to remember multiple invocation names for different skills.

Finally in the future we see people having to use multiple voice assistants during their day. You might have an Amazon Echo at home, but an Android phone with Google Assistant on it, and maybe even Cortana in your car. Life Bot will be on all platforms which will give you a consistent experience across all of them.

What are your developers Not doing when they talk about Docker and Kubernetes?
I think there's misunderstanding here, because I don't think that electron is the only way to go. Like the author of oni wrote here, we can make this frontend happen on any web-friendly runtime.

What I mean is that we should put aside the cons brought by a piece of building block and appreciate the vision, and the ideas behind these "new old things" -- neovim, oni, etc., to which we have been on the same page. However, discussion about whether it's appropriate to use Electron in this thread, without technical explanation or a proposal for workarounds, are distractions in my opinion.

Initial Setup is one of the challenges.
If one can solve that step 1 it become easy for few more steps to take.
Beyond that it depends on how complicated the implementation is and it gets equally challenging.
Most cars can stay warm for several days just running the engine at idle. Assuming you get enough fresh air (not always a given in a snow storm that can block air vents) stopping and just running the engine for heat is safe unless your fuel tank is low - which it shouldn't be.

Can Bayes's formula be applied usefully to controversial public arguments? For example (and here I'm attempting to choose a real example but also avoid a political discussion), if 900 out of 1000 people believe the OJ Simpson murdered Nicole Brown Simpson and 100 out of 1000 people believe he didn't, does this provide any useful information about the likelihood that Simpson murdered Nicole Brown?

This might be what the original question-poster was attempting to answer with his blue car question, using a cleaned-up example.
That does not stop nor deter the offenders. That is like having no law for murder and telling someone they can't murder you after you are dead.
Why? A ddos could be launched against any provider. I dont see this as a dh specific issue to move over.
The LLVM C Api is even worse. First it is tied to the 3x changing C++ Api, and it's incomplete. You can only do symbol search via C++.

Vas majority of the websites that use font awesome icons are cheaply made projects that fail to get traction most of the time and have a relatively small user base. So using font awesome icons with an idea that it will help users recognize what they represent, is flawed. I doubt regular users who according to you "would have trouble figuring out what the icon means if they did not see it before" even visit the type of sites that use font awesome icons, they are primerely used by small startups or one men shops with users mostly coming from sites like HN or producthunt anyway.
Doesn't Amazon operate on a loss? Doesn't it not matter as long as there is a long term potential for profit?
I don't agree with your comment that it is genetics I think it is more environmental. If you take two smart people. Deprive one of them from sleep, water, food and then give them an IQ test in a dimly lit room that is freezing cold but don't do this to the other person on average the person who was not subject to all that crap will do better. This is the uneven playing field that AA was supposed to correct. If these racial based IQ test took into account the socio economic status of maybe 2 generations before the actual subject and normalized for that I wonder if the difference would be as big or even there at all.
It's an interesting idea executed poorly. What if we changed it to:

"1000 people were asked how many lights were lit up in a row of 4 lit up lights. 900 people said there were 4 lights."
> and students pretty much need to go to college to succeed in the 21st century

I do not agree with this. There are plenty of trades out there that can earn you a great salary without a degree. If you want a white collar job and are willing to put in the time and effort, there are plenty of ways to connect with employed nerds and show that you are capable of being an employed nerd as well via open source projects. NOBODY sane on github is going to ask for a degree before contributing to open source, and if you do it consistently would likely be as impressive as on-the-job experience.
I normally agree with this sentiment. In this case, in my opinion, the Uber situation was so inexcusable that I took my business elsewhere.

Me, and not many other people, it seems.
Particles: React Icons
Even those who care, might not have real alternatives. The real benefit I see from Uber is exactly that: opening the markets up so we can avoid the bad actors. But for now, many of us still only have the choice between "new and corrupt" and "old and corrupt". Thankfully, more competition is coming, after Uber broken the barrier down.

(And yes, I know other places already had good working systems. Good for you, doesn't help me, though)

Shoving IPv6 into the DOCSIS3 spec was really forward looking for the industry.

Meanwhile Verizon's only visible contribution to getting IPv6 on FiOS has been to delete their IPv6 on FiOS FAQ.

It's a crying shame that a service born in 2005 (10 years after RFC 1883 was finalized!) apparently has no transition plan for IPv6. Even if it wasn't enabled at launch, the network should have been designed for v6 support from the start.
People have said the same about FB and Amazon. I agree that they wont be able to stay at loss for ever, however once the cheap cash runs out there's nothing stopping them from bumping up the rates a bit and/or growing less aggressively.

Yes, they will loose x% of users, but the ones that stay will be served at a profit. At this point, Uber is likely too big to fail.

Anecdotally, I have used Uber from the beginning and never even bothered to install anything else just because there was no compelling reason to, I don't see that be different for many users.

For the millionth time: It is not accurate to refer to it as single threaded.

The language is non-blocking, so any asynchronous tasks (DB read/writes, disc I/O, cache, http, etc) will immediately jump to processing the next request the moment it is not doing blocking computation.

Non-blocking:

[aa][bb][cc][/aa][/cc][/bb][dd][ee][ff][gg][/dd][/ff][/gg][/ee]

Blocking-threaded:

[aa]------------------------[/aa][ff]----------------------[/ff]

[bb]------------------------[/bb][gg]----------------------[/gg]

[cc]------------------------[/cc][ee]----------------------[/ee]

[dd]------------------------[/dd]

Depending on how many threads you can get going at once, you may be able to achieve comparable performance doing threading, but nonblocking is basically leaving 0 time on the core wasted and limited to the speed of the event loop.

And then on top of that, clustering module is used to do the same thing on every core.
Making an overly generalizing statement of a revolutionary technology based on how some people use them in just the first few years they were invented ("cryptocurrencies are used for bad things") is disingenuous and disregards their future potential.

How is that an explanation for directing (apparently limited) resources into riot-android?

> there is no native desktop app with parity to Riot yet

Huh? The comparisons I made in my comment were to Signal and Ring, which are predominantly mobile messaging apps. The person you originally responded to was discussing Matrix on mobile. Why do you keep mentioning desktop? If there were any confusion, this is a thread about an announcement for a new smartphone.

Defaulting to key rotation for each renewal is a sane choice for most ACME clients. There is no enforcement of this on the CA side of things, so HPKP deployment is possible regardless.

The vast majority of sites should probably not use HPKP. Those sites will benefit from key rotation, and defaulting to anything else would make them less secure in a Heartbleed-like event.

Client support for opting out of key rotation is a different matter. Many clients already offer this, just like certbot does with --csr, but that's very annoying to use. IIRC certbot has an open PR that adds key reuse support during renewal.
Linking in a non-triggering way

The SE answer looks like it assumes that blue cars aren't "stupidly rare", but I don't see that reflected in any of the math.

Is there a word for that assumption in statistics? I'm guessing this is something that is so obvious to a statistician that they don't even think to include it. But without seeing the work the layperson is likely to throw up their arms and say, "Not enough information."
Only thing worrying about such decentralization is all of the extra tons of CO2 that it produces. Of course to robots, such concerns wouldn't be nearly as acute.
Note to anyone involved in location services: when you return a location, also return a circular error probability. UIs should display a circle with the indicated radius, not a point.
> We have a perfectly good legal foundation for protecting abortion

No, unfortunately, we don't. A sound logical argument is not the same thing as a good legal foundation. Ginsberg's equal-protection argument has never been formally accepted -- or even considered -- by the court. And even on purely logical grounds it is fraught with peril because it assumes that a fetus is not a person. If a fetus is a person then they too are entitled to equal protection.

Personally I'd rather cast my lot with the right to privacy and the ninth amendment. I value that right far beyond its ability to protect reproductive freedom.
C explicitly states what an implementation should and should not do. The same with C++, FORTRAN, and other standards. Javascript is a standard written by committee. So why can't it tell implementations what is good behavior and what isn't? Other languages do.
Does AWS offer something similar?
The argument that people always throw at me is that too hard for people to know two languages, well, for frontend devs to know two languages. Now in a perfect world the frontend people who just can't figure out two or more languages would never touch the backend but the world of software now is "that'll do" not "what is the right tool." It's a shame to me really but I'm not a frontend dev for a reason.
Thanks!

We're working on ways for developers to enhance Life Bot - stay tuned! :)
I've got severe ADHD so I detest audio/video as a communication medium. A minor break in focus causes a huge time penalty on any serial information. Not to mention it limits you to a 10x slower bitrate.

With text you can tell by skimming if something is worth your time. Even with video preview you can get a bit of a gist. I hate audio with no context.
Hmm, I think it's important to understand Chord DHT first and only after that move on to Kademlia, then S/Kademlia and so on.
"Life Bot solves this by bringing the most-used features under one voice app."

The most used features are able to be asked to Alexa directly.

Are you helping users that may not want to set up IFTTT triggers for actions?
I think we can go a step further and say that the basic Bayes treatment shown is mathematically incorrect. It assumes conditional independence and equal accuracy between judges, which is almost certainly not the case here.

If a full 10% of people who observe a car say that it is not blue, I strongly doubt their evaluations are independent. Rather, I would guess that most of them are making the same assessment, like "my culture doesn't distinguish blue and green" or "I am a person who does not consider cyan to be blue". So simply calculating odds based on 1000 conditionally-independent assessments isn't a valid approach.

Less formally: I expect a car with 900 votes for 'blue' to be a different color than a car with 999 votes for 'blue'. Is each car blue in the binary sense we're talking about? Well, for that we'd need an objective standard of blue, which the problem quietly failed to set.
"tiny fractions"

Citation needed. You have no data to back up your claims.

In my circles, cryptos seem to be primarily used either for person-to-person transactions (housing rent, beer money, small loans between friends) or--interestingly--B2B payments (US company paying their Chinese suppliers; Bitcoin excels at fast international payments.)
People way underestimate how far away Mars is. To give you a sense of scale, the settlers of Jamestown came from London. As the crow flies, that's about 3,790 miles.

If we treat that as equivalent to settling on Mars, then for them to settle on "the moon" would have been a mere 26 miles from London. Perhaps Canvey Island on the River Thames. If we can't manage settlements that close, we really aren't ready yet for the long voyage across the sea.

That's what I thought too. I think the process was so locked up in executing the code that it perhaps didn't respond to the kill message?
>Servers are only going to get cheaper. Programming is only going to get easier. If anything, things like search engines and social networks are going to become more competitive

Programming skill and number of programmers is not a limiting factor to Product and social networking development. In fact, there is a vast oversupply of talent. If you look at the talent to opportunity ratio: it's enormous.

Look at product hunt. Dozens of potentially brilliant projects built and released everyday and yet only a tiny tiny percentage will ever be successful. Most fail because, either they've built something that too few people find useful or the market they're trying to address is too crowded (already has too many people offering similar services).
Reminds me of when I used to play an MMORPG which had a huge botting problem. The botting clients eventually became so advanced they were almost indistinguishable from normal players. The game's monitoring software was not advanced enough to automatically detect the subtle differences leaving the games developers to rely on manual methods to try to stem the tide. A lot of innocent players got banned in the process and it was written of as a cost of business by the studio.
how would I get a hold of you?
Yeah, I think this question is underspecified. We're happily saying "not all judges are accurate, so use statistics to get an answer", but we aren't setting any actual boundary.

If only 600 people said the car was blue, I'd expect blue-green or blue-grey paint, and the answer to "is it blue?" would depend on who defined blue.
What you should do is have two separate DNS providers.
> Williams charged that Vagg’s presence on the board indicated that the organization is not serious about fostering inclusivity within the community, a frustration she has expressed for well over a year.

Good, software isn't about being inclusive, it's about delivering software. I can't imagine how awful it was to work with these women.
>This makes zero sense. It's on par with saying "dude just turn off javascript".

That's what you actually should do, I use NoScript and it's perfectly fine. Stop bitching and demanding people force others into the things YOU want.
One millions miles of different situations is worth more than 100 miles anywhere. Even your most carefully chosen worst case route won't cover all situations.

To get close you have to pay people to send their kid running between parked cars into the street at just the right moment. Nobody sane will put a real kids into that situation, but the simulation can (should!) have thousands of different variations. The simulation can afford to run all of those situations regularly. Simulation can ensure it is raining when you need it.

You need miles of real driving too, but they are too expensive and unpredictable to rely on for more than a final check.
It wouldn't really be relevant. For why, read The Moon is a Harsh Mistress.

Why did Symantec change the private key used for their intermediate certificate? It sounds like they switched from an older system to a newer one for issuing certificates, but that doesn't explain why they couldn't preserve the key.
This is morally absurd. He is "a dick for sport" to say the very least, and is entirely unmoved to the harm he causes other. Having an ironic affectation doesn't somehow mean you're not evil, it just means you aren't willing to directly face how bad you are. Many people we describe as evil are similar and it earns him no slack.

What is the rationale for defaulting to proportional numbers? I always assumed that "tabular numbers" are just "numbers", and deviating from that standard sounds like a recipe for needless confusion.
