> which I'm not sure why it would be considered a bad thing.

I find it annoying that I can't permanently hide the pay items. If I could, I'd completely hide them from the browsing UI, but make them show up with some kind of distinctive icon when they match a search that I make. If I want it that badly, I'll go shopping for the DVD/Blu-ray.

I'm never going to actually pay for an individual digital video, so it's grating to have them presented as equal candidates for viewing alongside all the "included with Prime" content.
Gotcha. On the ingest front, do you have any numbers around that? I see some benchmarks that focus on other (important) aspects like QPS but didn't catch anything on ingest.

Yes, I believe that dense methods on single core architectures have been well ported. Of course, even there, it wasn't until I believe Eigen that we were able to moderately easily run automatic differentiation over the algebra and factorizations to get their derivatives. Though, technically, yes, we could have run ADIFOR over LAPACK and hated ourselves in the process.

It's been some time since we've seen significant speed increases for single core computers, so as new chips moved to multicore or GPU processing, the field followed. That said, even moderately basic operations such as matrix multiplication weren't fully implemented until maybe three years. I'm sure there were other groups, but that's when NVIDIA released cuBLAS-XT, which allowed multiplication of matrices that didn't fit on the GPU.

So, yes, I agree that this is nontrivial and difficult. At the academic level, numerical linear algebra tends to be in the domain of applied math departments, so I think that sometimes well suited people in CS don't get introduced to the field. That's partly why I enjoy seeing articles on HN that discuss it.
> the prisoners are making a terrible choice by sticking to their guns.

Being a convicted felon has long repercussions outside of your original jail time where this calculated - seemingly rational -
strategy you discuss is only a short term one...

There is an important point brought up in the OP's linked wikipedia page:

>> Medwed's Second Look clinic, a group dedicated to the release of innocent prisoners, assisted lawyers in his eighth parole board hearing which was successful, releasing him onto indefinite parole. Overturning the original conviction would be hampered by his admissions of guilt at his parole hearings.

The admission of guilt extends well beyond the release from prison. Including jobs, reputation, future convictions... not to mention the possible compensation he could receive for if the original wrongful conviction is overturned.
If the current alternative was growing in a box until ready to be eaten, then sure. It does look like a great short term improvement. Provided we're not planning to stop there.

The project featured in the article, if successful, will produce no radioactive waste, fits inside a garage, and will likely be cheap overall. Unlike the well-funded laser and tokamak designs which get most media coverage and still don't work well and are unbelievably expensive.
Simple question: would you prefer to have your teeth fixed by a burger-flipper, or to have your burger flipped by a dental school graduate?

Second question: would you prefer living without well-cooked burgers, or live with bad teeth?

The difference in value is there.
re in Europe, people's instincts are 'zero sum game':

Personally disagree here - but i don't know where you have those facts from so i can't really properly dispute.

re Opensource:

A ton of open source actually comes from Europe. In the valley a few large corporates finance developers working on open source (eg facebook, etc) but i wouldn't really consider this charity. It's a hiring and branding pipeline

re Failure => Prison for those who are interested:

The situation this often happens/happened is called `negligence`

When either a) social security of employees is not paid (as in you "risk" their lives) or b) you handle sums that are far beyond your companies size (eg concert promoters have to prepay ticket sales to companies that are N times their own profits)

The laws changed here quite a bit but it's still a possibility.

Please note that in the same country you can go to personal bankruptcy - meaning agreeing on a total sum of max personal damages (not that this is i wish on anyone but it's a (extreme) downside protection)

Re failure overall:

It comes down to game dynamics. Europe doesnt favor "fail fast" because it the upside is smaller compared to the US (fragmented market => slower acceleration). So with the same downside risk but lower upside risk averse strategies are dominated historically. This (thx to Internet => global access) changes.

>America has a lot of random fear-of-science. See: anti-GMOs, anti-vaccine, anti-evolution sentiments.

Upwork is an absolute piece of shit company and so obviously trying to protect their revenue in the race to the bottom of freelance work. We only used them as an agency (to hire freelancers) and they would randomly shut off ongoing contracts, stall refunds for paid but undelivered milestones after shutting down our contract, didn't pay back fees and have horrible customer support. The only thing they do is send a 10 paragraph email explaining that they're not responsible for the contractors on their platform and we should have read the TOS better. Stay away. Absolutely horrible.
Yes. However, the magnitude of the decrease is significant and it seemed that it would interest people, as it has, to see the numbers involved in the decline for horses.

Without passing absolute moral judgement (pro or con) on either type of human-bovine interaction, I cannot see how the latter is relatively worse than the former, which is why his revelation caused me to attempt veganism for a bit (I failed, vegan cheese is no substitute for the real thing).

I'll second this recommendation. Also, develop healthy eating habits. Here are a few suggestions...

- Eat more fruits and vegetables and less candy.
- Eat more beans and less red meat.
- Drink more water and less soda or so-called sports drinks.
- Snack on more nuts and popcorn and less chips.

It has been my experience that healthy eating habits + exercise can have a positive impact on the way a person feels and how they react to stress.
+1. The reason only 4 people submitted is that the challenge seems so, well, intimidating. Not hard intimidating, but "I wouldn't be able to think up & code a decent entry in a few minutes" intimidating. Nobody really wants to make a whole toy payment processing system like this, just to come up with one underhanded bug. It also comes with a lot of tooling: with underhanded rust, it is very clear that this is a project, with multiple files, cargo, dependencies, etc. All of the underhanded C contests are single-file, often single- or two-function solutions.

Thing is, if you buy a new washing machine and replace it within 10 years you end up spending money on a new, cheaper one which is more environment-friendly than the most environment-friendly ones from 10 years ago. Whereas your Miele would've lasted 20 years easily but would've been out of date on the environmental department. Its a catch-22.

The same with something like smartphones (I take it readers are thinking about smartphones when they read this article? Very 'ungerman' product IMO). If you buy a new one you end up downcycling the plastic and recycling some of the elements. Yes, you gotta pay again for a phone. But its also presumably better. It wasn't possible to upgrade the old phone because phones are such small, embedded technology (with bad software support being a minor part of the problem) that they've become waste products. We, as tech community, need to solve this problem in order to reduce environmental waste. How? Modular devices. Laptops used to be modular. Now they've gone the smartphone route. Why? Less weight/size, and less durability and the inability to fix it yourself yields more profit. We can stop this by voting with our wallet.

That's strange. While the cartesian product is not commutative (because of the order in which items appear in the final product), the cardinality of the result result set should be independent of the order in which records are joined because the cardinality is obtained by multiplying the cardinality of each constituent set.

Actually, this statement is not factually correct either. While there might be a debate about Himba tribe and colors, there are other tribes like Karajá and Waorani, as they both are counterexamples to universals of color naming, which could imply a possibility of perceptual differences as well ( see Regier et al., 2009)

1. What does it mean "scalable"? When would Wallaroo not be "scalable"?

2. How does Wallaroo differ from just running bunch of AMQP clients for data
processing? And I ask this as somebody who's in the middle of writing his own
stream processing engine.

And a few comments:

- Installation procedure is so unnecessarily long. It would be much shorter if
you provided source package and not require anything from outside of the
distribution.

- Installation procedure involves downloading Pony compiler from non-canonical
source. It's a warning of sorts. I don't know if the compiler source was
changed from the upstream, so I'm wary about Wallaroo's compilation with
official Pony compiler.

- Installation procedure only ever mentions Ubuntu. You do know that people
run other distributions, right? Does Wallaroo even compile under Debian or
CentOS, or was it written for Ubuntu specifically?

- Requiring Docker to run examples is bad. Your software should be easy to run
without garbage from containers.

I believe the law, varies by State, usually mandates a minimal of 72 hours of observation in a psychiatric facility when there has been an attempt, or credible threat, reported.

Additionally, some classes of people are mandated reporters. If they fail to report the threat, or attempt, they will lose their license and, I think, can face both civil and criminal charges. Again, some variation depending on jurisdiction.

Teachers, health care professionals, day care workers, police, etc. are all mandated reporters. They must, by law, report an attempt or threat. An attempt, by law, means a minimum of 72 hours of involuntary commitment. After which, a judge can be called in to extend the stay.

I had a sister who was mentally ill. For my last two years in the Marines, I was a transportation officer at a detention facility (brig), where I was a mandated reporter and sometimes had to work with people who had developed their mental illness during their enlistment or had somehow managed to pass the psych eval and managed to enlist. There were a suprisingly large number of them.

So, I've had some exposure to the system and the missus used to work in the field. For a while, I volunteered to help some of them out. I used to take some fishing, hiking, and to do things like archery practice. I was a mandated reporter during that, and had to take a number of classes on mental health.

If you're curious, I stopped because I don't have the heart for it. It isn't that I don't have a heart for the mentally ill, it's that I don't have the heart for the system in which they are stuck. I don't like being powerless and I was unable to effect change.
Given the negative PR against shelters that threatened to do background checks on all the other people they let into the shelters in the lead up to the recent hurricanes, that's gotta be just a CYA move, no? Isn't there a check that you're not a felon already in the FCC licensing process?
US Senator sees Reddit as potential target for Russian influence
From an article about his release [1]:

"... we have to be respectful of people who disagree with the decision on that basis, but recognize that we've made a decision as a civilized country that we don't punish people who really didn't know what they were doing at the time of the offence, and really didn't know that they were doing something wrong, and that's a very, very small subset of people..."

In the US, our insanity defense laws are setup to maintain the appearance that we are a civilized country during the court phase - and then after the case vanishes from the headlines, we become savages that lock these people in padded rooms, often until they die. Canada actually is a civilized country that is willing to abide by the spirit of such laws, even when the outcome is controversial.

I'm an American, but I find myself cringing more and more when I say that these days.

Exactly, they can move fast if they have to.

All in all, my impression is that the FAA regulates with a light touch, yes, but quite sensibly. If I'm not mistaken, they actually also have a dual mandate, to 1) regulate and 2) promote aviation. [That's why accident investigations are handled independently by the NTSB.]

However, the general aviation lobby in the US (AOPA = Aircraft Owners and Pilots Association, NBAA = National Business Aviation Association, etc.) is pretty strong. It's great flying privately in the US, really - in socialist Europe, the you have to pay for ATC, landing fees, etc., while in the USA it's all paid for by the taxpayer :-)

Finally, regarding "breathless prose":

> the public urgently needs to know whether there are other potential terrorists among the thousands of unknown individuals who control US-registered planes.

That seems ridiculous. I assume that Terrorists won't go buy a plane for their terrorism, they'll rent or hijack one, in particular if you want to fly it into something. Drug smugglers, on the other hand, as also mentioned in the piece, might want to have access to their own planes. However, they don't lend themselves quite so easily to breathless policy making ("urgently needs to know") as terrorists and "think about the children".
Ok. Turns out there's a button for that. Usually (i.e. in youtube) I right click twice and get option to pip it.

Black holes themselves cannot emit light (Hawking radiation is a separate topic). Gas that is in accretion disks around a black hole can become hot and produce light, but that process has nothing to do with the black hole itself. By definition, light cannot escape a black hole so processes inside the black hole do not emit light (or rather, if they do we cannot see it).

However, massive bodies experiencing rapid acceleration emit gravitational waves. This is something that happens due to a black hole's mass and not it's event horizon properties (in principle you can also detect neutron star interactions). But this is emitted due to the motion of the objects themselves, not from accretion disks (which may not be present for some black holes). So the event itself does not produce light.
> Most Amazon Prime apps I've seen make a clear distinction between the two.
