That was a nod to that article actually.

No one does that now. Someone does some thinking, writes a strong interface, then builds the code behind it. There's usually only one implementation. The advantage comes at the testing phase when you have strong interfaces to mock.

I can count on one hand the amount of things we do with multiple inplementations and that's mainly switching cache and file store implementations out depending on who paid for what.
Audio going to the wireless earbuds will require another round of lossy compression and decompression. And I'm sure we all remember what they said about doing lossy compression and decompression multiple times...
Your commented reminded me of when a coworker asked me to rename an algebraic data types generator from "ADTgen" to something else, since "everybody knows ADT means 'abstract data types'" :-).

It's not like it'd be difficult for NYT to have whitelisted commentator accounts run by NYT editors to game their own comment/vote system and drive a false consensus for readers.

Modern media do this every day already with their yellow-journalist hit pieces, biased comments to drive a narrative aren't even a skip away from that.

In the article, it basically talks about NK straling the bitcoin. My point is that to spend the bitcoin has the same hurdles as spending other money or trading something because the other country has to ship NK the physical goods they bought. Its less that nk is using bitcoin to get around sanctions and more its convenient for them to get a hold of.
From the title of this post, I was expecting something like Dulwich [0] which has the ability to store individual objects in an Swift object store.

But instead it is a webhook which reacts to pushes on a repo.

It's a sad state. I've heard wealthy and influential investors talk about how they don't think real 2FA is worth anything, because they just want to use their finger for everything. No matter how easy or hard it is to steal, the major problem is that you only have 10 fingers. If all of them gets compromised we still need something else.

Hell, for all we know those reasons for disinterest might actually stem from sexism in some form or other. If that's the case, then that's where we need to be focusing our attention as a society rather than trying to extrapolate from the end result (employee gender ratios) alone.
The United States, excluding the antebellum southern states, was pretty much a free market economy up until around 1914 or so.

Of course it wasn't 100%, but it was a good approximation of one. Far from destroying the middle class, it created the middle class in America. Scores of millions of impoverished immigrants arrived on the shores, and moved up into the middle class.

The income tax on the rich came later.

I've heard it claimed that the middle class was created by the New Deal, but that is not very supportable. Just look at paintings and photographs of towns and cities from the previous century. Looks like middle class to me.

If you like, take a tour of the town of Gettysburg. It's been well preserved, with quite a lot of the same structures still there from the Civil War. They look like middle class homes to me. Have a visit and tell me what you think.
That code sounds decent enough. But, based on accounts that I've seen in the media, the reality is horrible. People are told that they don't have standing to contest the forfeiture. Or they lack the resources to even petition, language in that code about representation being provided.

I am a big fan of run your own services. But when I do the maths, the cost is uneconomical for the average user. And the complexity already too high even for my own taste. Like configuring a mail server is hard.

This is a nice step in the discussion, I guess, but it really gets sidetracked from the fundamental issue with AMP. The fundamental issue is not 'nobody needs this' or 'this is a non-problem' or 'AMP isn't good'. The issue is that AMP is a monopolist, technologically inferior solution to an important problem, and monopoly power is being used to force the entire web ecosystem into an inferior solution.

We could have a better solution to this problem with reduced (I am not naive enough to think Google would be fully altruistic here) lock-in and better engineering, and Google is definitely capable of delivering that solution. Even with internal (past Googler) perspective here I honestly can't come up with an explanation [1] for why AMP is so bad from an engineering and feature set perspective. It's built with a good understanding of the problems users face, and they've adapted somewhat well to the needs of publishers, but the design is a trainwreck from the perspective of a frontend webdev, browser engineer, or someone delivering content that isn't just news articles.

It's quite right and reasonable to start with something and move forward to a more ideal, standardized solution, but it seems very difficult to evolve AMP's design towards anything that really meets the needs of the web platform in the long term. It's basically a walled garden through and through - just a garden that happens to have some really nice flowers, maintained by world-class gardeners.

[1] There is an extremely cynical explanation here that applies to many low-quality Google product launches - shipping something ASAP to qualify for a promotion. But the AMP team has demonstrated real commitment so even if that was what originally set things in motion, it doesn't explain what's going on here.
Correct, it's just more apparent in the information age, when the raw data can sometimes be found and the bias shown.
I think you read the exact opposite of what GP wrote.

A much more typical experience is to do those 2 steps, and then spend a bunch of time digging through github issues to find the right ignore/suppression incantations to add to your .flowconfig so that your dependencies (including all their transitive deps...) don't break your typechecking. Admittedly this gets easier once you've done it before and know a few reference .flowconfigs to copy/paste like React[1] or babel[2], etc. But this shouldn't be necessary at all. It's been an open issue for 2 years [3].

Less important, but you also have to add /* @flow */ to the top of every single source file. Sure its handy sometimes for existing projects, but it makes little sense for new ones and has also been an issue for years[4].

Why the world has so many Guineas
I adore mine. I'd be lost without it. Weirdly, as a total Apple nerd, I wasn't interested at first. My boss had one for ages before I was convinced by the waterproofing on the Series 2. He kept going on about it and couldn't believe that I didn't want one. (I was wearing a vintage '70s Omega.)

Now the standard joke is that I "wish he'd told me how good it was earlier".

Top tip: get yourself another band as soon as you buy a Watch. I splashed out and got the steel with steel link bracelet. I know, it's way more expensive than the standard aluminium/black sports, but it makes me feel like I'm actually wearing a watch and not a generic fitness device.

Of course you don't have to go that crazy, just get a nylon band or one of the leather options. Anything. Just get that black sports thing off immediately.
Of course they had. Who do you think worked at MTV back in the day? These were all 30+ years old acting like they were 14 themselves and making good money with it.

It just feels natural if all you know is how to act like a 14 year old and haven't been 30 yet to see how weird it looks from the other side of the table.

A conversation that a moderator can't clean up, does save you from biased and unfriendly moderators.

Something I find a lot of people carelessly shrug off - moderation isn't always a good thing. The act of moderation is, at its essence, censorship. That's a lot of power to be misused by the wrong sort of people.

Wasn't there a phone with dual cameras for capturing stereographic pictures?
It is a common case for other iOS device(s) though. iPad in a family is usually shared across family members. I do wish apple add this feature in iOS, for iPads at least.
If such fears are a factor, perhaps politicians should consider that even if they succeed domestically that won't stop geopolitical rivals such as China from pursuing AI, backed by state funding and with no limits on data collection.
It's not minor version bump. JetBrains doesn't use semver. X.Y is typically a major release, with X being the year (e.g. 2017.2)
Definitely this. When I was using an iPhone, it was for all intents and purposes locked behind my thumbprint (even though you could theoretically make a model thumb with my fingerprint and unlock it, it protects from everything other than highly skilled criminals/governments who very specifically target me). Now that I have a Galaxy S5, there's no way I'm writing in a passcode every time I unlock it (and that horrible "fingerprint scanner" is not a replacement for Touch ID), so it's just unlocked.

No, its "making six figures if you nail a niche" once.

Like the grown men dressing up as Elsa from Frozen and Spiderman and recording two minutes of weird sounds, just because they figured out why the analytics said 35 year old women watched that, while the marketers couldn't figure out that it meant their kids were seeing it on internet connected toys that happened to play youtube videos.

Anyone can do it, for now.

Ask HN: How does an online game with AIs manage so many AIs?
Each AI should use up a pretty significant resource of the server running the AI. How do the games possibly manage so many of them? Most education on AI is how to make them smarter, not how to make them cheaper. There has to be well known tips and tricks about scaling AI. What are they?
I hope any Googlers here are attempting to help internally and at the very least 1) not to destroy all of her work 2) allow her to publish controversial things because of the context.

As for my opinion I think this is horrendous, that Stallman is right and that Google and it’s staff should be ashamed at this attempt to destroy deep and important journalistic work. It’s hardly like it’s not in character.

I will now attempt to not use Google services which is going to be a challenge.
Didn't we already learn 20 years ago that if an Apple product ends in an X, virtually nobody will actually say it like the X is a Roman numeral?

This was all in a commercial off-the-shelf provisioning tool that probably every telco in North America uses, so the database was very structured. There were forced fields like "address line 1", "Address line 2", and our staff had just forced in whatever would go.

Updating it was certainly possible, though I don't think much effort was being made. In those communities we probably had less than 50 unique addresses, in some other places we have tens of thousands.

Canada Post had no info on these communities, and they decided ours was better than nothing. Remember, we are talking extremely, extremely remote villages in the Arctic Circle, many of which are fly in only (no roads).
Still aging quite well to show the relativity (or constant) of people's perceptions
No need to completely censor, when you can instead control the direction of the conversation.

Without comments, people go elsewhere to discuss the issue - elsewhere that you don't control. With comments, they discus it on your site, where you can completely control who can say what and how visible those comments are.

Done correctly it's a form of soft censorship by controlling of the discussion and manufacturing consensus among the "commentators".

Hard censorship has more immediate backlash than this does.

Food for thought: it could be that the already-picked "low-lying fruit" is responsible for new discoveries being harder to make. Once you get into a certain mode of thinking, or come to view the world a certain way, it becomes harder to see the world as operating any differently.

So, maybe it's not so much that we have stuff "figured out", as it is that we have mental models that, while they work well enough to make certain predictions, also constrain our thinking in terms of what phenomena are possible. The "EM drive" controversy is one example of this tension.
CARTIER ROADSTER CHRONOGRAPH DUAL BRACELET W62020X6 for Watch Collector
I mean, I know you're joking, but it's not really the case. Before Touch ID, you had to either leave your phone always unlocked, or have a pass code/word. Those options are still available, there's just two additional ways now with Touch/Face ID, so they haven't gotten less usable for non-humans, just more usable for humans.
I would bet the judge would consider that destruction of evidence.

People have been predicting that for a long time. I can remember reading something in Encarta 95 about it. But it's also been disproved for just as long. New dialect features are constantly being created, just as surely as old ones are levelled. Even as much as certain groups move around a lot, huge numbers of people are living in the same area their grandparents were born in.

(Sometimes, I feel surprised when I meet someone else who was born in the city I live in. But if I listen to how someone speaks, no matter if they're fifteen or fifty, I can tell whether they're from here.)
What do you think social media celebrities are doing?
Any idea why people outside the US use this feature more often?
Given how close these two things are, I wish the field would settle on one - either one, really - so that we could embrace its ecosystem, and move on with more and better libraries, tooling etc for the winner.

Hiking can reconnect you with nature
How about a big helmet? I imagine snowboarders/alpine skiers/motorcyclist will have to take off the helmet to unlock. As someone who goes snowboarding in the winter, it sounds really annoying to not only have to remove a glove, but also the helmet, to unlock the phone (or unlock with a passcode, which is still a downgrade from using the fingerprint).
It works pretty well on my oneplus 3t, so it's not impossible to get right.
Most AI in games are simple.

It's done a bit differently, but there's an app on phones "The English Dialects app" you can install that will give you some specific features and how they distribute in Britain and Ireland. It will also try to guess where you're from, if you're from those parts.

It does heat maps of features, rather than trying to group bundles into discrete areas. This is probably more accurate, because it shows you were features are strong. Sometimes they'll correlate with others, sometimes not.
It is more complicated than that, and the Howey Test isn't the only test to subject you to federal and state securities laws.

Tokens have the capability of getting around those reguations.

Token issuers have a trickier road but it is possible to be compliant and not have a security, or compliant and have a security.

Currently in 2017 there are no compliant, or liquid, exchanges where you can trade tokens that are properly registered as securities. But this is not an absolute, as broker-dealers like Etrade, NYSE can trade securities even if they happen to be tokenized, they just aren't yet, but even when they will, they will be too slow and uncompetitive to noncompliant exchanges due to all the rule changes, and attitude changes necessary.

While existing decentralized exchanges obviously don't care whether the token is classified as a security or not because it is impossible for them to register as a broker dealer, and it is impossible for them to not facilitate the trading of any particular token.

So currently, token offerings simply don't register as securities because this would hamper their liquidity.

It won't matter in the very near future, as decentralized exchanges and the transmission functions, improve greatly, while centralized exchanges simply also become properly registered or legacy ones upgrade to trading tokenized securities. All while it is still possible for the issuers to be compliant with non-securities tokens.
