What? The most central EU institutions are based in Bruxelles, Belgium. The EU Parliament also spends half the time in Strasbourg, France. Only the Court of Justice is in Luxembourg.

There is no "appointed capital". Bruxelles is the closest thing in practical terms, but the location of the institutions it hosts was an early choice that has since been slowly rejected. All new EU authorities are "dispersed" elsewhere, and there is talk of moving the Parliament to Strasbourg full-time, now that it's pretty clear that the French are nowhere as dominant in European institutions as originally feared.
I am talking about them 'hosting it themselves' via the use of CloudFlare.
One of the very best features of Emacs is it's built in help system, faster, more convenient and more accurate than most program wikis or on-line documentation.

Emacs is too big to learn every one of the 7000 or so functions, one learns just what's useful in a particular realm. Anytime it's necessary to wander into new territory, there is really good built-in help system available. Help commands start with Ctrl-h. The next keystroke determines the kind of help that comes next.

A handy prompt after Ctrl-h suggests typing '?' for additional options. The basics options are:

a PATTERN -- show commands whose name matches PATTERN

d PATTERN -- show commands whose documentation has a match to PATTERN

f -- documentation of a particular function

c -- what command runs for a particular Emacs key sequence

t -- learn by doing tutorial.

There is a full page of other help options including access to the full emacs manual.

They are not punishing the companies, they are ordering the countries the follow EU law and that indirectly means that Apple or Amazon for example needs to pay more taxes.

I think it is a pretty reasonable law. EU has a large inner market and the idea behind this law is that corporations should not be able to play countries against each other (i.e. you get a lot of jobs if we don't have to pay corporate tax) and just using tiny countries to get access to the large ones.

So see it as a collective bargaining that is beneficial for EU.
I've been tracking just my entertainment reading (fiction and nonfiction/history/biography etc) (not my tech book reading) on Goodreads the last four years, and I'm averaging just over 16,000 pages a year on entertainment reading... (the high point was over 18,000 a couple years ago, but I've decided to take some of my reading time and use that time to write music now) -- ~8000 pages every six months.

I usually read another 1000-1500 pages of tech reading on top of that every six months.

Certainly doable.

We're using SqueezeNet (https://github.com/DeepScale/SqueezeNet), which is similar to Inception (trained on the same ImageNet dataset) but is much smaller - 5MB instead of inception's 100MB - and inference is much much quicker.

The application takes webcam frames and infers through SqueezeNet, producing a 1000D logits vector for each frame. These can be thought of as unnormalized probabilities for each of ImageNet's 1000 classes.

During the collection phase, we collect these vectors for each class in browser memory, and during inference we pass the frame through SqueezeNet and do k-nearest neighbors to find the class with the most similar logits vector. KNN is quick because we vectorize it as one large matrix multiplication.

I'll go deeper in a blog post soon :)

This same behavior is why the IRS does not allow for anonymous reporting of tax violations. I think this article is overreaching in their fear, and perhaps fear-mongering. If a crime has been committed then a citizen is well within their rights to report it. You may not like that as a matter of politics, but it is legal. We should not be afraid to report behavior we feel might be illegal due to political correctness[0], or politics but at the same time, retaliatory use of law enforcement for crimes not justified should be punished.

I was just watching my daughter writing a program in Java using eclipse. It's frustrating to watch a relative beginner editing using a combination of the mouse and the keyboard--it's so slow.
This is great news! Any rough estimates on when this will be available?
This argument seems a little surreal. Is the take here seriously "utilitarianism is so intrinsically bad that wealth is evil because it causes utilitarianism?"

Utilitarianism is an exceedingly broad category; hedonistic, rule, preference, and negative utilitarianism all recommend different behaviors. But none of them equate to selfishness or abuse of others.

I mean, the article does give us "Piff’s earlier work suggests Richie might act in a way that neither a utilitarian nor a non-utilitarian would support, benefiting himself at the expense of others." But that's a completely different, contradictory argument being thrown in as though it bolsters the main point about utilitarianism. Also, it relies on a truly wild series of leaps from "people taking anti-anxiety drugs" to "psychopaths" to "rich people".

(That older paper linked is setting off all my alarm bells for shitty social psych research. The second one doesn't look promising, but is paywalled.

- "We derived the ethics of the rich from an online quiz" is a bad sign.

- "We didn't control for education" is a problem in its own right.

- PNAS is a bad sign.

- 'Neutral primes' versus 'greed is good primes' is a disastrously bad sign, it's not even clear if those things work.

- Human-coding of driver behavior is questionable at best.

- Deriving human ethics from groups of ~100 Berkeley students is almost cartoonishly bad.

My baseline here is "forking paths plus massive bias risks got us a catchy headline".)
As I understand they don't provide to driver until pick up to prevent drivers from cherry picking only rides they want to give. I think they used to tell them on the way to pick up passenger and found a higher cancellation rate.

I have had drivers ask me to cancel because they didn't like where I was going and wanted to stay in a downtown surge area. Rarely am I in a hurry so I told them they are welcome to cancel and I sat for a few minutes while he sat outside and refused to cancel.

It's weird to think that you'd be interested in living for centuries or longer in a world that has seen everyone before you die and day by day sees horrific injustice.

Ask HN: Startup founder new to London looking for advice/chat
Hey. I’m fairly new to London and have so far spent the year working on a self-funded startup with a non-tech cofounder.

I’m currently looking for advice on familiarizing myself with the tech scene here, recommendations for where to meet the right people, or even just some advice.

A little background on what I’ve been working on: it’s an online discussion platform — inspired by Facebook groups, Discord and my history working on a hugely popular forum.

We just launched as very limited beta, sending out invites to some of the ~3000 people who requested one so far. There are currently only ~100 active accounts but things have gone relatively well.

However I’ve definitely made some mistakes: having only one co-founder (particularly a non-tech one), not seeking out external funding, as well as building the API and web and mobile clients entirely by myself, not following the MVP advice enough and taking too long to launch.

I’ve been working 16-20 hours, 7 days a week with few breaks all year (bad idea) and along with the social isolation and my cofounder recently departing (personal/relationship issues) it’s taken a little bit of a toll.

Fortunately I’ve taken the last few weeks off and am ready to jump back into things. But I need to rethink my strategy and seek outside funding or at least some advice.

People really love what we have, but some work is needed before publicly launch.

I still believe this thing will be a success, but I’d greatly appreciate any advice, or a chat over a coffee if anyone in central/east London is interested in anything I’ve said, or even works on/knows of a startup in a similar space.

Thanks for reading.

how long should you want to live in such a world? one or two centuries ok; one or two millennia not ok?
This website sucks, it takes forever to load challenge pages because they're flooded with irrelevant entries which you can't even see if you don't submit your own. You can't even visualize the solutions directly in the browser.
If you use a keyboard-based editor, presumably one that takes fewer keystrokes is a better UI, other things being equal. (There's also learning curve to consider but everyone has their own tradeoff on that.)

Of course there are also mouse-based editors, which my second paragraph addresses.

Great news! I don't know why I always thought this had been in Atom for a while (I think I'm confusing this for syntax highlighting support and probably ctags, etc)
Perhaps with a mouse, but not necessarily. I don't think your statement re: mouse scrolling applies universally. For programming script documents, sure -- each line is likely limited to the 80 column mark, and so the lines are quite short.

However, with Latex documents, for example, very long lines (i.e., paragraphs) are a big pain for me (even with vimrc options `set display=lastline` and `set linebreak`). In typical GUI text editors, the wrapped lines of long lines are treated as sort of "pseudo lines" themselves. This means when I cursor down (via mouse or keys), the cursor doesn't jump to the next newline after the paragraph (as it does with vim).

Apparently, this last described problem can be addressed [1]. So maybe the solution is that I need to spend more quality time with my vimrc? :)

Founders – some foods that significantly boost your concentration and focus
I think if you compare across all MBA programs in the US and all CS programs, and account for debt, you'll find that the average CS program has a better return. This is because even shitty MBAs cost a fortune and don't necessarily teach a lot of useful skills, whereas even a shitty CS degree teaches you to program enough to be employable.

Now if you compare a Harvard or Wharton MBA to say a Stanford or MIT CS degree, then you'll probably find that the MBA outperforms by miles. But I think that's because those programs sell a deep network of rich and powerful people. Harvard MBA go off to run large companies, and Stanford PHDs go run research projects. I'm generalizing, but at the top end they're using very different optimization functions.
A few years ago we discovered a new ligament in the knee. Knee injuries that frequently require surgery are so common in children that it's considered an epidemic. I don't really have a good answer to why we don't know about these things, but this isn't the only case of it lately.

I think of it like a parasite. They will extract everything from the host, propagate to several other hosts, and kill it. If you look at it that way it is something we should all actively work to control or cure it as it will continue to wreak devastation upon the whole of the community. That is unless of course you wish to join the parasitic parade yourself.
> and most of the energy will need to be thrown away.

I won't speak to the veracity of your numbers. I have no idea your methodology or even if you're qualified to do an analysis here or the quality of your data, so...

But I will point out that the current plan to address this is to repurpose and recycle existing lithium ion battery packs at sclae, while continuing to develop very large electrical energy storage methods.

A real-life example of this is Tesla's Australian contract (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-australia-power-tesla/tes...) which uh... literally started on twitter as a dare between rich people (https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/840032197637685249?lang=...).

Very large power storage stations like this actually offer a lot of utility in a variety of scenarios. Not only do they make distributed grids much more reliable offer a facility to ground out excess energy on the grid (helping reduce the impact of solar phenomenon over large-scale transport networks), but they also have a lot of value in disaster recovery scenarios.

I think they're talking about animating scroll changes. Web browsers do this, if you press page down, it animates the change(it's subtle, the animation only lasts a fraction of a second).

> That is totally a thing in Java too.

I think you are confusing the JVM with Java. However, comparing languages needed for web development to available JVM languages is comparing apples-to-oranges. With web development you have to use different languages in the same app to accomplish anything. In a app you are using the JVM for you can pick one language and stick with it.

> Then figure stuff out like facets.

A "facet" has absolutely nothing to do with Java. The term "facet" is a term used by IntelliJ to configure adding features to your project. IntelliJ configures all of these on its own, I never even have to think about them (it actually took me a bit to even figure out what you meant by "facet").

For the work it may be true, but there are lots of interviews that screen and filter on these kinds of questions. The other side of the gate may totally allow for learning and growth, but the gate itself is usually not as forgiving.

Obligatory movie recommendation: The King of Kong

Depression has higher incidences in individualistic and affluent western societies. One probably analysis, agreeing with what you said, is that the "something wrong" is the lack of social cohesion that prosperity and modernity have brought. The broader direction of our culture for >100 years has lead to the breakdown of institutions that maintain social cohesion in favor of personal autonomy and expression (which those same social institutions, to varying degrees, inhibit).

That's the trade off for placing personal autonomy and self-expression at the paramount of social priorities--the guard rails come off.

Error can vary more widely than just 5-10%. For example, the same careful measuring to within 5-10% at 1-cup will result in ~40% error at 1/4 cup. And also, people vary in their cooking ability, especially around reaching out to new recipes. It can be hard to get recipes to turn out right, and sometimes it's hard to tell what went wrong.
Very true.

Some of my worst managers think they know everything, they think they know how quickly something can be done, when they simply don't.

Many times they are downright disrespectful because they think they know it all.
Having a universal platform with several competing implementations ported to multiple hardware and operating systems, easy deployment, and a standardized user interface model with very high configurability, resolution independent, allowing end-user tweaks to presentation, and responsive resizing of the user interface?

No, I haven't, and I was developing before the web existed. I don't doubt there may be much better tools for some things outside the web, but none for a platform with all those features.

About unforseen consequences. I really enjoyed the original movie Bladerunner; watching it recently, it was interesting to see that while there were ubiquitous video phones, there were no cell phones at all in the movie--flying cars yes, cell phones no.

>- A day where I experienced $50+ non-surged fare estimate from downtown SF to the Sunset, something I've never seen before (usually $22-ish... I took MUNI.)

I agree in my personal subjective experience.

They recently estimated a fare for me at $50 for something that was usually about $17 - there was no surge going on - at least they didn't say there was. It was not a typically busy time either. I hailed a cab and the meter read $21 when I got home.

And yes, I'm aware that they changed how they tell you a surge is going on and there was no "Fares are higher because of demand" message.
Although, coal produces its pollution many miles away from population centres, whereas internal combustion cars produce it feet away from people breathing it in on city pavements.
