True, you would need a drag-and-drop tool for essentially editing functions (with `if`, `forEach` objects) in order to achieve this with React (well, if you had that, you would have achieved a lot more than the old-school UI tools did).

I wonder if drag-and-drop tools really provide that much value compared to just editing a component with instant live-preview on the side.

Obviously, you don't need to know how to code, but many designers know at least HTML/CSS. You could have some nice basic DSL, plus a good set of layout components that hide the CSS ugliness in this area.

The "code" you would need to write would be little more than JSX with some basic `if`s and `forEach`es, because you are only writing the render function.

The props and state could then be manipulated inside the tool to see all the possible variations (you could even add new props/state fields if you need them, and then export this structure as TypeScript interfaces). You would have a list of components on the side, like the tool in the OP does, to help with discovery.
Upgrading our ventilation moved us from ~200-250 Bq (with windows being open as much as possible) down to ~50-70 Bq
I don't think there's a standard which says that "X+Y delivers to X" - it's a configurable option in exim and you could equally well make it "XqY delivers to X" if you were wilfully perverse.
But then that means you wouldn't have funded the physics project. In the long term, research in fundamental physics is the main thrust for human scientific progress, which is why it is given the importance it is.

Ancillary benefits are, by definition, not the primary thrust of what research is about.

Apologies if I misunderstood your comment.
there are 3 default classes, so you train according to each class(e.g. hand waving, sitting still, etc) you take examples of each(using your camera). you map the input data from your camera to some output data(e.g. if i used the green button to take photos of me waving), display a GIF of a cat that's waving. instead of a GIF you can use sound too
- a good working knowledge of the command line (up to say piping, xargs)

- basic networking

- show me a hobby or project you have worked on, I'll ask you questions

- I'll likely try to teach you a command or small factoid to see how receptive you are to learning

- I'll likely query you on this factoid at the end of the interview to test your memory and comprehension

- if you haven't said "I don't know" in the interview I'll ask you a very hard question to see how you react to not knowing something (hint: getting angry or defensive is not good)

- I will try and get you to teach me something, so I can make sure you know that senior members are life learners too. This is to identify if you're one of those people who lose respect for someone not knowing something you know, as I think this is a strong negative sign

Bonus points if you have competed an end-to-end project, it doesn't have to be deployed online, but being about to talk full stack is great!
This is very interesting for martial arts practitioners. It's highly plausible that this waste system is the missing link between Parkinson and Alzheimer and concussions due to head strikes. I'd assume that a strike to the head will - if severe enough - first impair the dura mater. This might impair the waste system and by that facilitate inflammations in the long run.

Ask HN: How do you manage newly found knowledge?
Through the day I very often find non-trivial amount of insights/information/knowledge about certain specific topic. May it be articles, tutorials, links or even tweets.
Problem is that I’m super afraid that I’ll forget about it and not “use” it.
I’m usually trying to solve this by saving images to folders, having short text snippets in notes or using bookmarks. This has several problems. First, different type of data (image, text, link, etc) are at different places (folder, notes, bookmark, etc). Second, data is not indexed so search is impossible.

How do you handle this?
The book "Mastering Bitcoin" really helped me to understand the blockchain and bitcoin properly. It's available free online here~

The author is putting out a similar book called "Mastering Ethereum" in February, also through O'Reilly.
I personally have no idea how large companies manage this. Every time I perform a full Docker update on all of the libraries and applications my app is running on, something breaks. Sure, tests catch it, but it takes a developer and time to figure out how to fix it. No idea how huge non-developer organizations handle this.

Surprisingly well!

It's a really well put together demo & tutorial.

I held a pen up next to me and held the green button.

Then did the same with a mouse.

It would flick between the two if I was holding nothing, so I held the orange button for a bit while holding nothing.

Worked pretty much every time.

Training is fast enough with a few hundred images per class that I didn't notice any delay.

Possibly things have changed since the article you linked to was written, but the article they refer to as being by RiseUp is currently credited to an anonymous antifa supporter.

From a skim it wasn't clear to me why it was being attributed to RiseUp.
I meant on my commute/Amazon comment in regards that people would rather have it developed, so they can all profit from it, because they need it, rather than have it.

If you are an American living in Brazil, you didn't see too much of how it's to to be born there in a very poor family suffering all kinds of abuse as in less developed regions you barely got light or proper education. I didn't live exactly like this, but I too come from a poor background and could see this happening across the street. Many teachers on those regions barely got any education and it's hard to get smart people to move to those regions. There isn't much opportunity there. Things has been improving over time, but we need more than a century to get where other more developed regions(such as Sao Paulo) is right now.

Actually, it's so problematic that for instance, a big percentage of my circle, the one who had opportunities and took them, moved abroad, as soon as they could(like I did). The ones who end up staying in the country are the ones in need, that can't leave because they are stuck there, and the riches, which need to stay there because of their businesses. You do learn about brain drain there at school and it's a common topic, but given all the other big problems, it's not often talked about in the media.

Of course that there is a lot of people who enjoy living there, I did a lot too, but it's only possible if you don't get caught with the amount of shit happening right now. I don't have much intentions of coming back right now, but would definitely would like to help it once I'm in a certain life stage I can afford moving there to change things, so like many other Brazilians who move abroad.

BTW, it isn't the ruling elite that give out the good stuff there for free to other countries, it's actually our inability to get good trade deals, just because we are the bitches of the first-world, we take care of our forests to them, meanwhile we get nothing. My point is that if they want to pay cents for our bananas, sure, we still sell them, but we don't give a single fuck for whatever they say and instead focus on developing our country.

If true, it begs a question as to why. Why does equifax need to be a DNS expert? There are so many inexpensive DNS solutions that work for huge sites... far cheaper than hiring one developer.
There's 1001 things that the home secretary 'should' have a deep understanding of, but realistically, someone in such a position has to make decisions all the time in areas where they have relatively little knowledge. (Not that I have any time for Amber Rudd, but this isn't a fair criticism.)

If the legal team came up with this idea, they need a new legal team. In house lawyers do not have to be technical experts, but they should know about cyber-squatting and DNS related fraud. This should have been in their wheelhouse.
I support the EU, but it's not clear to me that they are the primary entity responsible for peace in Europe between 1945 and 1991. And I think they have acted especially parochial and conservative during 2007-2012, the period prior to getting the Nobel.

The rules prevent it other than in exceptional circumstances. See my comment above about the consideration of an award to Gandhi for example. Apart from wanting the candidate to continue to do good, there are also considerations such as practicalities of where the money should go as the money is awarded with the intent of using it to further the purposes of the prize, though the recipient has wide latitude, and so it is not a given that it'd be appropriate to just hand the money to someones estate for example.

True, but the argument she seems to be making is that she's asking for a change and help from technology companies and they're telling her it can't work that way. Instead of then understanding why (not all the details, just why her option isn't viable) and working with them towards a solution she instead makes comments about them being unwilling to "work with her".
Good! Bring this future! Humans should never ever ever be in charge of such things. On most domains where relevant statistical data is available, like your examples, even crude algorithms like linear regression will almost always beat human experts.

Humans are biased as hell. Studies show judges give much harsher sentences just before lunch, when they are hungry. Attractive defendants get half the sentences as unattractive ones. Not to mention all the classic race and gender ones, and random factors we can't even measure.

It is inexcusable to have humans in charge of any kind of decision process that a superior unbiased algorithm can do.

I've never really been able to figure out what a good strategy is for object storage organization. Do you create a bucket per application instance? user? organization?

Right now I'm playing with a new service and came up with this which is probably over engineerd:

Here is an actual object key including the bucket:
7dcdb229600e4467a2714866e0d406f6/85/26c/c0271374067b5db832adb7909a7/bbda55db15266f7ce2284d8f5f66fc85e495e2b12265ef87537237ad5e2658b24c081970332417f60e5fc352ae9b8c1031398c02ecde03eb29af2d3c8eda8a4b/y18.gif

Given the file's uuid is aabbbcccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc

for original images:
{{organizations_uuid as bucket}}/aa/bbb/cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc/{{sha512sum}}/{{originalfilename}}

And for all derivatives of it:
{{organizations_uuid as bucket}}/aa/bbb/cccccccccccccccccccccccccccccc/derived/{{this files uuid}}_{{filename}}

My thinking was that:

- using the organizations' uuid (which can have multiple users) as a bucket makes backing up per organization and having on prem deployments easier.

- Encoding the file's uuid in the object name can identify it easily and by splitting that uuid up in 2/3/rest would help with spreading of objects.

- Encoding the file's sha512sum in the key name would enable checking that file's integrity even without a database.

- putting all derived files under derived but with the original file's uuid prefix makes the link between them clear.

I know this will result in long object names as shown above in the actual example but it does include quite some information.
What parts of this is considered bad practice? Do you have any real world examples for other strategies? They seem hard to come by.

She doesn't have to know how to "roll her own crypto," but if she intends to legislate something like this she definitely needs more than superficial understanding of it. She is trying to "ban math" after all. You don't think she needs to take a little extra time to get a deeper understanding before trying something like that?

How do you get more than superficial understanding? You listen to all parties. Something tells me she's just taking GCHQ's words at face value that terrorists use encryption, therefore encryption must be banned, without weighing other side negatives like increased cyberattacks due to breakable encryption, a harm to people's privacy rights due to GCHQ's very own and well documented abuses, and so on. Something tells me GCHQ isn't going to give her that side of the story.

Also, politicians need to understand that the solution to stopping terrorism can't be just "banning stuff".

Terrorists are now using trucks to drive into people. Should we ban trucks? They will soon send remotely controlled autonomous cars into groups of people. Should we ban cars or even autonomous cars (once millions are already on the road, by the time something like that happens)? And so on.

Plus, what the GCHQ often conveniently "forgets" to tell the public is that they were already warned about the extremists. But they did nothing to stop them?

Why? Well it could've been incompetence, or inability to take action, or simply the fact that there are too many false positives [1] that someone has a certain X percentage chance to do such a crime. Mass surveillance is only going to make that worse not better. So why do they keep pushing for it with the banning of encryption?

They can already do targeted surveillance do against anyone at anytime, no matter their encryption or opsec, considering they've hacked component suppliers such as Gemalto and others. So that's clearly not an issue. It's the mass surveillance they want, and so far we've seen no evidence that it would help them. But we do know it's going to make things a lot worse for the rest of us, in more than one way. So I think she needs to spend a little more time on it compared to the other "1,000 extra things" she needs to decide on.

Unions are mostly there to keep out newcomers and non-union members. Eg strike breakers.

I'm internationally mobile, so I'm often the newcomer.

(And from a philosophical point of view, programmers are so well paid that even taking that down a nodge to the benefit of the general public would be fine. What we have to make sure is that forming new tech companies becomes easier and easier---so that any general cheapening of programmers benefits the customers and not the owners of companies.

Traditionally, unions are the very opposite of lowering barriers to market entry.)
Perhaps, but does it follow from what I wrote?

I mean, it is intelligence what we try to create -- and it is artificial, since by artifice we denote anything man made.

If the objection is as to the degree that the applications I've mentioned is actually intelligence (and not something cruder/dumber), I think we could still call it AI, and not just keep the term for actual human-or-above-level intelligence.

It's a bit hard to talk about unions in general. Eg the Americans have these unions for people working in the entertainment industry (eg actors guild or so?), and those people usually work on a project basis, don't they?

On a historical note, I am currently reading A Generation of Materialism. The book has some very interesting bits about the early history of unions in Europe.

I think you completely misunderstood the parents concern, or chose to ignore it.

The question is - what happens if an algorithm develops a bias? A bias against a specific race/sex/occupation, whatever - what happens to the principle of free an equal society then?

Super simple example - you don't need AI to determine that men claim more frequently and more on car insurance than women. So....over the years, the rates for men have risen, until finally it was completely outlawed to take into account the sex of the applicant for car insurance quotes(at least here in the EU).

We need the human touch to iron out problems like this. An all knowing-omnipotent algorithm if going to discriminate based on statistics and that's something I don't think society wants.
I think these postcards were great. Until personal flying machines become widespread, there's progress to be made. Phones and blockchains are nice, but won't substitute.
> The CEO is the face of the company, and if they can't lead either employees nor can they effectively be the face of the company, they have to go.

And yet no one has explained why a guy holding particular political views can not effectively be the face of the company. If one does believes in gay marriage rights, can they effectively be the face of the company? Clearly, many people oppose that view, so let's oust every CEO out there who donated to gay rights campaigns.

What differentiates between these two CEOs with opposing views on gay rights in this respect is only how much public outrage there is about their biography. Somehow, people holding left views tend to be much louder than people holding right views. Which, without a doubt, has a lot to do with leftist bias in the mass media. So, taking your statement to its logical conclusion, what you are suggesting is we give up any sense of fairness and work ethic and bow to our mass media overlords because they have the microphone.
More than that, the gradient of good and evil exists in everyone, across activities, across time. Many of the most evil people have done good deeds in their lives, and many of the best people have done bad deeds also. A bad cop or bad judge can yet become a good one.
I wonder the same thing. Not to be snarky, but is there something faulty about medics or human biologists?! Why do I have a feeling that if we deployed computer scientists at medical research we would get a better result? I can accept that at the lower level things get fiendishly complex, but surely at a macro level like this it's just a case of diligent analysis?
It's an interesting thought, and I tend to agree in a way.

That said, I suspect people would really quickly learn that ruthless efficiency and "unbiasedness" is probably not what they want. We have rules and laws that ban discrimination along certain lines, but would that be applicable to an opaque AI entity?

I imagine these systems are going to be able to understand every motive of every person. If I am thinking this through correctly, at some point they are going to be able to precisely control the behavior of everybody. The systems will know what information to show you for a desired outcome. Who knows what that future is going to look like.
Your argument is predicated on the definition of "superior" and "unbiased" and also on the data being fed into the statistical algorithm.

With respect to your definition of "superior"... One of the major tenants of U.S. law is that in criminal cases you are entitled to a jury; you're judged by your peers. It's certainly possible that one day an algorithm may be more accurate than a jury in determining whether an accused person is guilty or innocent. But the jury is more than a fact checker, they provide credibility, independence, egalitarianism, and self-determination to the entire criminal justice system. Without those, the entire system could arguably collapse.

So even assuming computers will eventually have humans beat on accuracy, it's hard to imagine algorithms providing the additional values that are necessary for a functioning complex system.
It's good that the EU is taking steps against these unfair deals, but IMHO it's not enough. In this "web era", we just can't accept that it's enough to open your headquarters in Luxembourg to only pay Luxembourg corporate taxes, when actually your EU operation is like 97% outside of Luxembourg. It's just not sustainable, it needs to change - Luxembourg is just stealing taxes from all other EU countries, that's all.
