There is a video with great analysis on this. Ultimately argues that Simpsons was a great piece of counter culture, then it just won and became culture, losing its ability to skewer mainstream comedy. Along with an upheaval in the writer's room, it just went absurd all the time. That's a sometimes brilliant move, but dull when used in place of any substance. It also forgot how to stay true to its characters. Much more here:

Thurston is low dimensional topologist and Fields medalist. From the Wikipedia page:

'In fact, Thurston resolved so many outstanding problems in foliation theory in such a short period of time that it led to a kind of exodus from the field, where advisors counselled students against going into foliation theory[1] because Thurston was "cleaning out the subject"'
And people were running cfengine inside FreeBSD jails and Linux vservers in early 2000 already.
The Simpsons were practically old by then.
I had this problem for a while. The good old social loop of death.

A non-smartphone won't fix it.

I think fixing this problem begins with you asking yourself why you're doing this. Are you procrastinating over doing something else? Are you passing time because you don't have anything else to do? Etc..
Which dates from 1987 (as part of the Tracey Ullman Show), or 1989 (freestanding).

The Onion are hardly being prescient.

I used to use StayFocusd too and wrote about it (along with other similar tools) at https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/how-to-overcome-procrastinati....

I stopped using it about 3 months ago because eventually you'll naturally want to avoid these problematic sites. I still check the usual sites but now it's much more controlled (a few minutes here and there per day with a 0% urge to go back to checking constantly).
Smarter for what exactly? content-addressing is great if what you are looking for is pieces of content, it's not if you want to talk to services.
Spot on. Both fat binaries and containers very often translate in: "Nobody here cares about security. We deploy opaque blobs that will be unmaintained."
> but other than that, what's the difference?

The need to configure, manage, monitor and maintain a whole extra set of programs. Also, systemd can just as easily start the binary in a cgroup, eliminating most of the following concerns.

> The isolation is broken

Worth noting that behind the scenes, Linux is using the same in-memory versions of libc, even for containers. That isolation you speak of already doesn't exist.

> [...] scheduling [...]

Ansible, Chef, Saltstack, etc.

> I have to manually manage each container port

You have 65,000 ports available to you. I don't think this is as big an issue as made out to be - people are lazy, which is the only reason there are so many conflicts over 8000 and 8443.

> Kubernetes, with enough hackery to work around bugs

Given the context that I am someone currently attempting that hackery - this shit just kinda works, some of the time. And when it fails, it's a morass of conflicting documentation, and responses of "well, you're not using the default distribution for your environment" (no shit, it's no longer supported) and "works on my single node minikube cluster". Give me ansible/chef/saltstack any day of the week. Hell, I'll even take cfengine at this point.

Kubernetes was built for Google's use case, in Google's environment. Attempting to use it with other restrictions and requirements is a nightmare.
But this is a pretty inconsequential semantic difference. You could just as easily say that you’re selling dollars and the grocery store is paying you in bread.
I really like the format of the question and how responses are. Giant header where everyone can scroll down quickly and easily see their advice. Other big factor is that each response can only have one piece of advice. Often in threads like this you'll get comments where people list a bunch of tips and people upvote because they agree with only one of those tips.

A big one in my opinion is the "Stay off the Internet when you're writing". When I type on a compute writing anything, not fiction, I always get a tiny bit tired and look on other sites. I'm even sitting here forcing me to not open another tab while writing this comment.

On that note, I have to say how great having a typewriter is. I don't use it for writing fiction or anything, but I know how great it to be forced to sit forward, not be able to unfocus, and have a physical output rather than a shiny screen everyone's so used to. Obviously you'll can't sent it quickly or edit it, but it's great to use and know the results.
It reminds me of disses in old rap songs. Eminem yelling at Lynne Cheney[1]. "Who? Oh yeah, she had some kind of thing about rap lyrics 15 years ago."

The dispute is long since forgotten, but the bickering is still there, and it's confusing and pointless to people who weren't around when it happened.

Peter Watts' novels have a couple of examples of this. For instance, (SPOILERS!) the scramblers in Blindsight can render themselves nigh-invisible by moving only during human observers' saccades. (I'm not convinced that this would actually work but it made for a cool plot device.)
Yes, you are correct that businesses are not in a steady-state.

I'm pretty sure that Swedish companies employ contractors for this situation, just like US companies do. And as the article point out, Swedish companies can have massive layoffs if need.

I really feel like the negative effects you are thinking of are not, on their own, significant enough to use your model to guide policy decisions. Perhaps the Swedes have given it sufficient caution?

By the way, one example I found of short-term contract work in Sweden is as a temporary replacement for when an employee takes a year off for paternity leave.
I like how unfinished it feels, personally. I think it's a matter of personal taste.

I've often thought that DNN vision systems would be much more robust if they worked on video streams rather than single-image snapshots, for just this reason. It would let them implement something like the "liveness tests" the new iPhone apparently applies to the facial recognition unlock stuff.
Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television, by Jerry Mander (an ad executive, FYI), 1978.

I live in WV and work for a startup in Morgantown, and I disagree with you, and agree with the other comments.

In the U.S., West Virginia is associated mainly with forests, the heroin epidemic in its cities and its backwoods population, who refer to themselves as hillbillies. West Virginia is definitely not associated with environmental protection. "Rolling coal" is a popular hobby in these parts - it involves removing the particulate filters from a diesel pickup truck, driving to the nearest city, waiting until a Prius or a cyclist goes by, gunning the engine and roaring off, leaving a cloud of foul-smelling exhaust in its wake. That's what passes for humor in West Virginia.

Plenty offensive.

If you scroll down, you'll find an answer where it appears that math broke their brain and they left to go start a restaurant and then did other things like computer graphics. The math department is home to some tragically spectacular mental breakdowns.

But, I don't think his answer is limited just to mathematicians. The gist of it is 'Go do good things and be smart.' I think those same things could apply to even someone without a high school diploma, though probably with less chance of efficacy.

It's a great response and unfortunate that they closed it.
I keep all notes and to-do lists in a single system of record. These days it's Asana, but in the past I've used pen and paper, Apple Notes, and other tools.

I use GTD to keep on top of stuff. Once a day I go through everything that's been added to the system but not yet categorized. I move it to the appropriate to-do list or reference document where I'll know to find it later.

I have lists for things like "gift ideas for family", "potential software experiments", "active work projects", "books to read", or "to consider next year". I also have a primary list for things that actively need doing.

Remember, it's not the tool that matters. It's the process and the system.

> By any reasonable definition, Bitcoin is a fiat currency.

Clearly not by the only widely-used and -understood definition. Which reasonable definitions are you proposing? The key feature of fiat currency is that its usage as money is legally established by a government. That is clearly not the case with Bitcoin, unless you want to play semantic tricks and call the Bitcoin community or a set of algorithms a “government,” but that is very clearly not how the vast majority of people uses the term.

I think that the main point was that docker skills are transferable, i.e. you can expect a new hire to be productive in less time. Too many companies still have in-house build/deploy systems that are probably great for their purpose but don't offer valuable experience that would be usable outside that company.
I still enjoy The Simpson's ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It is obvious I'm in the minority. I don't know what people expect from the show, especially for how long it's Been on the air consistently, but for what it is, I love it. It's one of the few, actually maybe only show I look forward to.

If you haven't you should listen to The Talking Simpson's [0]. I love this podcast!

Also, if you have a cable subscription you can watch every episode on The Simpson's World website [1] (it is pretty terrible to navigate and extremely buggy though).

If The Simpson's was canceled or when, it feels like at this point it would be a pretty big deal, especially for those of us who grew up on it. Like a hell has frozen over moment. Mind boggling to put it. It's a part of our culture.

I suspect a question is closed when it has already been sufficiently answered . Keeping it open means it would keep being 'bumped' and become redundant. If you look at Quora, often a popular question will have 4 good answers and dozens of low-quality ones. better to just close the question then.
Suggestion: start very consciously removing the least-interesting / least-productive feeds, and seeking out higher-quality ones.

Also contrast with searches for articles / books (there area a great many of these online, if not always legally: The Internet Archive, Sci-Hub, Google Scholar, Google Books, and more). Wikipedia is often a good _start_ for exploration -- head to the references and start going through those.

I've found that online commentary is often quite thin on substance, even at better sites (e.g., HN and this thread). There are exceptions, but you've got to aggressively filter for it.

The way I understand money is to treat it as a technology. A technology is designed and operated to serve a purpose. The money of countries like the US and Europe is intended to serve as a medium of exchange, a temporary store of value, and a tool of government tax and monetary policy. I think it's expected that people will hold onto a minimum amount of money, and store the bulk of their wealth somewhere else. Most people don't have substantial wealth in the first place.

Bitcoin is intended to serve another purpose: To demonstrate the behavior of a money system that is not controlled by a government.

As with any technology, people use money if it's useful to them. If a country has a poorly managed money system, then people start to use the money of some other country, or barter. If bitcoin has a chance of supplanting government money, it will happen when bitcoin works better for the people using it. I suppose this could happen sooner in countries that have really bad money, or if the use of government money becomes prohibitive because of transaction fees.
How to be a billionaire – by someone who's not a billionaire
It's 2017, and in the current sociopolitical milieu, it may be regarded as "abuse" to unilaterally remove television from the home against the wishes of your spouse and/or kids.

I would love to do this as well, as I harbor an abiding hatred for the passive entertainment industry in general. But it's often not worth the relationship cost.
Let me put your mind at ease -- I promise there is no shortage of people who will tell you that you suck, whatever your creative medium. It's okay to defer that judgment for a little while to muster the will to actually produce something.
Yeah that app needs work like quantization both for rythm and scales and so on. It could be a really powerfull tool I think.

Make a webapp at least, allow me to export some useful format for logic.

Then you can work on other ways to use the voice to inform the sounds and other things. As I said. Think about it like VocoderMidi instrument/sequenzer. Something really useful can come out of that IMO.
Fat binaries solve only for dependency. Containers also deal with isolating environment variables and filesystem.

Each program doesn't have to worry about what else is running on the machine. It also helps you deal with the differences between say Ubuntu and redhat. Not all nix os have the same filesystem directory setup.
I so want to do this :)
Just get two competing offers. Then the question flips from "how little will the candidate accept?" to "how much can we afford?".
Life extension will be horribly dystopian unless we can also find ways to restore neuroplasticity and enable re-learning-- a kind of "second childhood." Otherwise it'll be a bunch of immortal old curmudgeons sitting on top of society saying "get off my lawn!"

Personally I'm not sure I'd even want too much life extension without neuroplasticity restoration and quality of life extension. I'd rather be dead than walking dead.
This is largely a promo for Unity Biotechnology and the associated labs. It fails to mention, e.g. SIWA Therapeutics and their work on antibodies, Oisin Biotechnologies and their gene therapy DNA constructs for destroying cells based on internal chemistry, the company that David Sinclair is starting for senolytics, that Betterhumans has beaten Unity to the punch and is currently running phase 0 human pilots of dasatinib and quercetin on a non-profit basis. Also that senescent cell clearance didn't magically spring into being in 2011, but appears clearly in Aubrey de Grey's position paper on human rejuvenation in 2002, and the Methuselah Foundation, SENS Research Foundation, and others have been advocating hard for more work in this direction in the face of a research community that rejected it for a decade.

But hey, if you beat the competitors to be the first to raise 9-figure sums of venture capital, then you too can engineer attention to shine on you only, and rewrite history more or less as you like for a while.

So far all ways to address aging in mice have slowed aging by tinkering with metabolism, but slowing down the damage accumulation. They all produce much larger effects in short-lived species, probably because long-lived species have evolved to have many of these metabolic items turned on already. Calorie restriction extends life by 40% in mice, and I can assure you that while it is pretty beneficial in humans, you are not going to add more than a couple of extra years. Senescent cell clearance is the first way to address aging that involves repair of damage rather than slowing it down: we have no idea how the size of benefit in mice will translate to humans. So 25% gains in mice can be exciting here, whereas for any slowing-aging-only approach it would be a yawn.

Super Eyepatch Wolf is a great anime review channel. I have started following some series after watching his reviews.
Run Doc2Vec (or Word2Vec) on a large corpus of text or download pretrained vectors. To compute a document vector, take a linear combination of the word vectors in the document according to TFIDF. Now that you have vectors for each document, you need to create a fast index with a library called "Annoy". It can do very fast similarity search in vector space for millions of documents. I think this approach works faster than grep and doesn't need to bother with stemming. It will automatically know that "machine learning" and "neural nets" are related, so it does a kind of fuzzy search.
I am aware that you are not discussing the substantive issue, and I have not mistaken your comments as such - I merely disagree with your characterization of the article's language.

> I think you know how bad that argument is.

Intent is an essential element of shaming. If you have an argument to the contrary, you would be more persuasive if you were to state it, and not simply insinuate that there is one.
One way to beat back these types of attack is to have the software do a type of image filtering that averages out the adjacent pixel in a indeterminate(random) way before feeding into the NN for inference
I don't go a bundle on articles like this but really, there are some excellent points made here.

This quote alone is worth the read. “The damage done to organizations in crises isn’t the crisis itself — it’s how you handle the crisis,”. While it sounds like the distillation of countless racks of airport bookshop self-help and management books, do read it closely -- it's saying the damage occurs as a result of actions taken by the organization itself. In my experience, this is forgotten all-too-often.

“There’s only one thing you have to remember: you have to overcorrect." Decisive execution silents many critics and impresses the rest. Regular readers of HN will recall the times when big-name sites on the web have had multi-hour outages, and have journaled their progress in real-time for people to view, and this transparency has been applauded.

> how stupid must an executive be to do such a thing? -- the firing I mean.

I disagree. If he wasn't fired it sends a signal to other employees that certain leaks are ok, and once that seeps in to Apple culture, it will be difficult to stem the tide of leaks.

By firing the employee Apple is also sending a message to future and current employees that they are serious about secrecy and leaks, and you'll lose your job if you mess up.

It's saying our boundaries are clear, and we take them seriously. Do not cross them or there will be consequences.

Employees will be more careful because of this, and that will help reduce leaks in the future.
This sounds interesting. Searched the web for something similar and I found this https://substital.com/ (possibly it uses more naive techniques).

The big screen is where TV shows go to die. It’s a kind of admission that your idea is played out in it’s native format.
There is no relevant null hypothesis here.
In the video he leaked Apple employee QR codes, and code names for unreleased products. He was very careless and deserves to get fired, given the position of trust he was given by Apple. I'm not sure why he was so careless or why he thought it was a good idea, but it clearly shows a lack of judgement on his part.
