I have witnessed a group of people that watch youtube together, in the living room, via Chromecast. They employ auto-play (I mean the recommendation feature), lists, channels, etc.

The result is HOURS of "user attention". Which is specifically not the correct term... :) Sometimes they ignore a video and just chat.

But the point is, they use it as some people use a television. It's just "on".

Because of this, I've seen a lot of "top ten list of..." and "Did you know that...?" videos. Not to mention compilations of traffic mishaps and skateboarding fails.

Quality absolutely doesn't matter. Just ask Budweiser!
Suppose it is some kind of surveillance setup that went wrong?

We know that we can use electromagnetic disturbances to infer the location of (moving) objects. See e.g. http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/133936-using-wifi-to-see-...

It someone cranked up the Wifi senders, they might have just microwaved their brains.

Of course rather than WiFi they could have used anything around the 2.4G Hz band.

Do you have any work data or email on your device? What is your employer's policy about granting 3rd parties access to such data? Could you be fired for doing so?
If a database was created using an instance of IDA that was running on a known blacklisted key you'll get a "Sorry, you can't open this database because it was created using a pirated version of IDA" message, and if you try to open a database that's missing the license info you'll get a "Database is corrupt." message. It's still pretty easy to patch out these messages and open the databases anyways though.

There's also a map [1] on the old IDA website showing geolocated IPs of users that tried to request updates using pirated keys.

Not mentioned, but for node.js dev termux almost gets there, but just falls short. You can't hit a node.js server running in android/termux from a full fledged local ChromeOS browser tab. It doesn't have port access. Have to go run an android browser.

Alternatively, I've been just doing browser based dev. The free GCP google cloud shell lets me edit and host so long as I have a connection. If I wanted I could still keep it in sync with git running under termux.
Does this mean your infrastructure is actually dependent on multiple regions? Just curious.
Russia as a country exists only for ~25 years.

Also even it had Crimea for thousand years before, it still won't matter - they've signed numerous international agreement s which stated that Crimea belongs to Ukraine.
> one room

At scale, almost no one has a "room." Think about a mortgage bank or cell phone provider, or a car insurance company. Even if they tried to use 'a form', they have to manage hundreds of little details about millions of clients -- based on whatever version of the form was filled out, where they lived, where the product is used, has a deed or title been properly recorded, did the Supreme Court of State X strike down part of your agreement, has anyone sent a written complaint sufficient to trigger the Fair Credit Reporting Act, etc. We've all criticized big lenders who can't come up with proof at a hearing -- but that's because managing that much data is hard. Compliance/contract management software is still growing rapidly.

Second, another wave of tech for lawyers is taking huge databases of publicly-filed contracts, and suggesting clauses in agreements similar to yours. If 80% of compensation contracts filed by publicly traded companies say X, and your deal says Y, you'd like to know that.

My knowledge of identity theft is admittedly limited to TV documentaries...but if your identity is stolen five years from now and the fraudsters rack up thousands of dollars in loans and bills under your name, is there a way for you to link that crime to the Equifax hack? I could see a lawyer making the very shaky argument that John Doe could have had their personal information hacked elsewhere and that there's no evidence connecting the thieves to Equifax.
Typescript is not its own language in terms of having a distinct runtime from Javascript so it has no performance difference and does not make sense to appear in this comparison.

I can see comparing different target versions of Javascript against one another (es2015 vs es2017 for instance), but it all depends on the VM chosen as well.

Should we count early Page & Brin efforts then?
That may be a truth, but it's not the truth and not an answer to the question the judge is actually asking. He'd be probing about the legal basis of the claim, not the impetus that drug you out of bed and into the courtroom on that particular day.

Thanks. A better phrasing would have been "a reaction to". I certainly didn't mean for any political connotation there.

I'm frequently appalled at how "hackers" and "technologists" here and in my professional life have little factual indea of how Blockchain works, let alone something like Solidity or EVM.

I am utterly convinced that this is the future "App Store" that we are building on and the fact that so many programmers are oblivious is a sign for me to Keep Loading up on BTC, ETH...

It literally is Programmable Value and Transfer. It's absolutely slick.

People have such cognitive dissonance since everyone has been pretty much lied to their whole lives on the nature of Money and Credit. This kind of social and technical phenomenon requires people to reject a previous understanding they had (which in turn is offensive because that understanding goes to the core of their being -- earning your first allowance as a kid, hard work for your first paycheck, etc).

It's defensive for past Ego Investment. It's abhorrent that one could have bought $100 worth of something just a few years ago and would be a millionaire today.

> the whole point that people have had their privacy violated?

Possibly, but lawsuits don't work that way - "I feel bad because somebody may potentially have got my info" is not a claim you can make and get damages. There should be legal basis. Now, I'm not a lawyer, and saying US law and caselaw is huge and full of terrors would be an understatement. So maybe one could find some law that justifies it. No idea. But showing up in court and saying "but privacy, your honor!" probably don't work.

> Equifax lost my data and I want to be compensated.

And I want to be a well-hung billionaire with wings. [1] Nobody cares.

> The real opportunistic money-grabbers here are Equifax

There's a lot to be claimed against Equifax. But Equifax being crappy doesn't automatically grant you a victory in court. You have to make a valid legal claim. Granted, small claims courts, as I said, are less formal and allow you more leeway, but even then I doubt that just showing up with script-generated claim and "I feel bad, I want money" would go very well. You are welcome to try and report of course, maybe I'm an idiot and you'd be laughing all the way to the bank instead.

Ask HN: Rackspace email re-seller plan just added a minimum monthly fee
I started reselling rackspace email service a few months ago, and just now I got a bomb dropped in my email:

As of November 1, 2017, your account will now have a $150.00 per month minimum commitment. This means that if the dollar value of the Cloud Office products that you are using is greater than your $150.00 per month minimum commitment, then there will be no change to the amount that you are invoiced unless you add more products to your account. Otherwise, if the total value of products on your account falls below the minimum monthly commitment, you will be invoiced $150.00.

So minimum price of a service could change like that without notification? It seems quite harsh - as when I joined this is not what I signed up for. Now I have a month to transfer everything I have somewhere else or pay the extra fee. I offer email hosting for my client who host a website with me, so it's not that easy to grow my email client base that fast!
y, that's true but I feel like Apple could do more so criminals don't even want to take iPhones, Apple could put things in place where they aren't worth anything on the secondary market. Basically unusable and could lead the cops to your house.

Anyone with a 4th grade knowledge of mathematics would realize this is a terrible idea. Even the research states this would raise GDP if you didn't raise taxes and pay for it with debt. Its the socialist dream to simply create money out of thin air or put it on credit. But the rich can be taxed more right?
No, I don't believe it is. The "display" on the demo site is simply reading out the state of the RAM. While you can "see" the on bits within the RAM grid, I think it's kinda hard to discern the values from the supporting architecture.

It doesn't look like they wired the RAM to a nicer display that makes it easier to read. See: https://codegolf.stackexchange.com/questions/11880/build-a-w...

At first I was a little annoyed that (on mobile) it didn't tell me the length of the interview.

Had I known how long it was before I started listening I probably would not have listened to it.

I am glad that I didn't know, so that I began listening.

Once I started listening it didn't take long before I was convinced that I ought to listen to the whole thing.

Very interesting interview.

Very glad they provided a transcript also. Having both the text to read and their voices to listen to was much more enjoyable together than would either of those have been alone.

There were some typos here and there in the transcript but since I am on mobile I didn't dare leave the page to point them out. Someone else will have to take care of that to have them fixed. I do remember one error that occurred in a couple of places was that the transcript said SANS instead of just SAN (singular) or SANs (with a lower-case "s").

"When you’re young, you look at television and think, 'There’s a
conspiracy. The networks have conspired to dumb us down.' But
when you get a little older, you realize that’s not true. The networks are in business to give people exactly what they want. That’s a far more depressing thought. Conspiracy is optimistic! You can shoot the bastards! We can have a revolution! But the networks are really in business to give people what they want. It’s the truth."

After reading about the case the author knew was not right (negative zero), I wonder why the relevant "equality" test wasn't more like

if(isfinite(testValue.f) && isfinite(refValue.f)
? testValue.i == refValue.i
: (fpclassify(testValue.f) == fpclassify(refValue.f)
&& signbit(testValue.f) == signbit(refValue.f)))

i.e., if the numbers are both finite [including denormals], they must have the same bit pattern; otherwise, they have to be the same kind (i.e., both infinite, or both nan) and have the same sign (my manpage for signbit says NaN has a sign, but that's news to me actually).

I doubt it's that I know more than Bruce Dawson about FP; is it about working in the distant past (2014, cough) without compiler support for C99 stuff like fpclassify and signbit?

Kaspersky: You can trust us despite US government ban
Monopolies are bad for consumers. The Chinese government is protecting Chinese markets from global monopolies (and also acting as the world's biggest innovation VC). Other countries have been asleep at the wheel and are only just starting to wake up with uber and airbnb. (Also the fact that fb has been caught targeting Kremlin propaganda to voters in foreign elections makes me wonder if they will get shuttered in a lot of places. And Twitter can only be next.)
What's particularly interesting is that you can tell someone's academic pedigree from whether they use R or Python. As you mentioned, R is very popular in stats, while Python is very popular in computer science. In fact, you can tell whether other academic fields are more influenced by stats or comp. sci by this measure as well. R in econ is a great example of this, while fields that build simulations to do research tend to skew Python.

I'm not really aware about this application of Clifford algebra. I'll summarize it as the algebra that operated on sets of scalars, vectors, matrices, and up, so we can use both addition and multiplication between Clifford objects. Just my recollection.

+ I would then also assume that geometric manipulations are handled differently than through Clifford algebra.

Just saying because biology is mentioned in a few places in the thesis as motivation.

Well but that's the exact point - if it can work with sunglasses on,then it means you can force it to ignore whether someone is looking at it or not. Put sunglasses on someone unwilling to look at the phone - bam,done, phone unlocks without a problem.
Depends on how the regulator interprets the bar on sharing billings with non-lawyers. Westlaw and Lexis have massive offerings that do a ton to make work easier, so there's obviously room to work with, but they aren't providing products that practice law. They provide tools to practice law with.

With ML-driven autonomous determinations of relevance, however, you're literally doing associate legal work 101, with a system applying skill and judgement to the facts of the matter to make a determination of a legal nature. That's a difference in kind. This becomes doubly interesting, because most of these platforms are cloud hosted, so they're not 'given' by the attorney in the way that a land registry look-up would be after being vetted by a clerk. They're a stand-alone service that functionally makes choices for you.

I have no clue if Atrium is going down that route, but that's where the million dollar cost savings are. Maybe they're just making snazzier client-focused billing software. I've asked before, but no one will tell me what products they're actually working on.
They will be working on designing, simulating, and building new missions to the outer planets. It's really important to have a roadmap for long-term exploration rather than doing one-shot missions, so you don't lose the expertise. The National Academy of Science works on this roadmap, and NASA generally follows it (see http://sites.nationalacademies.org/SSB/SSB_052297, in particular the Planetary Science survey from 2011).

It's a very exciting time for planetary science, especially regarding the "Ocean Worlds" (those moons of Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune that have liquid water: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/infographics/infographic.view.php?i...).

One of particular interest is Europa Clipper (https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/missions/europa-clipper/), although Europa is a moon of Jupiter.
