You don't get any additional privacy, the only way to really _guarantee_ that you get additional privacy is to use a solution that provides privacy by design rather than by policy.
I like fast pages too, like HN. No AMP necessary.

Make site load speed a significant factor in search results ranking and the entire web would get faster without the duplicate work of maintaining AMP pages.

Also let's not forget that Google's Doubleclick (the most popular adserver) is the biggest and slowest component of most pages on the internet.
Maximum expected value isn't the same thing as best distribution of results. The levered portfolio does better in expectation, but at the cost of being in for a really bad time in a bear market.

Plus, many investors can't stomach the losses of a 100% equities portfolio, let alone something levered up.

>How do we reconcile this? Intuitively, the function of your age needs to be included in this equation (I think somebody commented on this already).

Age is a proxy for funding amount. A lot of investment goals aren't just "maximize the amount of money I get". They often care about things like "I need to spend $X/yr in retirement". So your investment goal should also put some weight on how likely it is to sustain that, and a higher bond percentage at higher investment amounts will do that.
It's ok, you are probably no the target for the service.

If you want control, you don't use a closed source saas RAD.

I would not use the product for myself. I would hate been locked down.

But I can see the value for others. For some, having one easy but clear solution is the important value.
Unfortunately, there are plenty of people out there who think it's not actually happening at all. Look for people talking about 1998 as the warmest year on record, the "global warming pause," the little ice age, cherry-picking temperature measurements, and crying foul over the techniques used to transform raw measurements into a global temperature anomaly number.
a good start!

I noticed you are standardizing your dataset before your test/train split. This is an example of information leakage which is causing your model to overfit by learning the test example distribution: http://www.eggie5.com/97-model-evaluation-information-leakin...
> We have free enterprise because there is no freedom without the freedom to exchange labor, goods, and services. It's the natural order of things to trade, always has been and probably always will be. It's not about the best outcome for most people, never has been, and never will be. It's about the right of self determination and autonomy.

So I think we're getting to the root of the disagreement here. All of this your opinion, not fact. Quite a few of us do not believe property and free exchange are unconditional freedoms, but rather ones whose definition should be tuned to best serve the freedoms of the individual. A few countries (like Germany) even explicitly encode this belief into the constitution (previous discussion here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14317712).

If you disagree with that, fine, but note that history, Constitutional scholarship, and case law are not on your side, so you should not go around saying that your opinions are absolute fact.

Yeah, because someone sending you emails is surely physically dangerous. Spooky men.
In addition to software not being ready:

It detoured into a company having no need to improve its products too much because they were already the best. If the technology is somewhat stagnating, it is best not to release all the improvements at once. After core counts have increased, what else will still make people buy new CPUs? Maybe I lack some imagination here - and so do companies making phone CPUs, which can't think of anything better than upping the core count.

Also, high core count CPUs are slightly more similar to GPUs, and Intel seems to be trying to keep the GPU threat at bay. There is no reason to believe that Intel couldn't design a competitive high end GPU, but that is not where its entrenched advantage is.
(This part is not my own analysis, I read it somewhere else and consider it highly plausible.)
> At what point does the line blur between needing special treatment because you're a different gender and equality?

Well, as I read this piece she's describing potentially abusive behavior, but not gender related. I read it as a shitstorm of over-intense personalities with optimistic dreams of being the next big thing creating an awful environment for eachother. Somebody of either gender could have a bitter ex-teammate who wants to undercut them.

So I read this as a criticism of the atmosphere of hackathons rather than a women-in-tech issue.

Now, the philosophical question is whether this distinction means I agree or disagree with the author.
Evolutionary algorithms may also let you evolve the architecture. Think of a fly brain evolving into a human brain using the same genetic toolbox. With learning algorithms your assuming a fixed architecture. Hard to think how we’d get open ended evolutionary AI without evolutionary algorithms. At that point learning algorithms is the context dependent optimization step after neurogenesis.
Yes, but there is a big difference between "this provider might be lying about not storing traffic, and they also might give the data to someone" and "this ISP is 100% storing traffic and routinely gives that data to others."
The "color" of an eclipse, even a partial or annular one, is completely different from a sunset. Sunsets have a "reddish hue" to them.

During an eclipse, the world gets darker without getting redder. Its most dramatic on a total eclipse of course, but even at 80% to 90% it was a different feel than "sunset". Anyone who is outside regularly in a 80%+ eclipse on a clear and open day will notice the dramatic shift in color.

The key is that you'd have to be standing around and getting used to the colors outside to notice.
> I think tor is simply too slow and complicated to advertise as a tool to "regular people"

I know many people who use Tor daily for regular browsing - myself included. Yes, it's slower than not using Tor but that's expected from the 3-hop design.
This is exactly why I no longer buy electronics or other higher ticket consumer goods from Amazon. Inevitably I'll be researching the product on Amazon and it will have 5 stars reviews with a healthy smattering of 1 star reviews. If you investigate the 1 star reviews it turns out most of them are usually from people who received a counterfeit.

So you have people buying from (ostensibly) the same product page on the site, but some percentage are getting inferior counterfeit products. If there's a way around that I haven't figured it out and won't be spending any more time to figure it out. I now buy from authorized retailers and have yet to have a problem.

Unless I'm buying little plastic things that stick on my desk and hold cables. I still buy those from Amazon. I don't really care if they're counterfeit, insofar as they could even be.
"Using your phone while driving is reckless, regardless of the authentication mechanism." -- true. Nevertheless, Numbers show that people do use their phones while driving.

Well I'm perfectly fine with something what languages like C++ or Objective-C are to C since the whole C interface is still available. If I have a problem in the C layer I can touch that directly and fix it. But I don't think it's possible to mix F# and JS code in the same code file without doing really ugly stuff.

I feel like this is dated, because in 2017 this:

> You are on a known-hostile network

is true for every network in the USA. You can be sure they ae all being snooped on by 1. the ISP collecting traffic data for profit and 2: the gov. because they get it all anyways.
Yunyu's correct. (I'm one of the people on the transition team.)
They are too small and simple a design to conceal anything like that from mechanics working on them. You could arrange for them to be made from substandard materials I suppose. That doesn't seem to be the case here tho'.
Granted, but it would still seem rational for everyone to prioritize aligning our short- and long-term incentives so that this sort of tragedy doesn't become worse than it has to be.
Not the most disturbing, but the strangest aspect, is how the truth of the matter kept getting lost and people who had no idea about what had happened held strong opinions.

Makes me wonder how often this happens in other news items.

I do want to know what happened with the tickets and the booth, though.
Individuals may be acting in their own self-interest, but civilisation is acting irrationally.

One of the roles of government is to impose rules and regulations that steer individual (and corporate) self-interest in directions which are widely agreed to be in the interests of civilisation (like preventing/mitigating climate change) but which would otherwise be ignored or worsened if left to individuals or corporations.
The title of this should be "Don't expect VPN to magically protect your privacy," not "Don't use VPN services."

Here are some reasons I've used, and continue to use, VPN:

* When I am on a network that uses an idiotic blacklist to block certain types of content. The network might even be run by my employer and I might be accessing content that is necessary for my work, but there might be no way to appeal the idiotic blacklist.

* When I am on a network that INJECTS content into HTTP responses (a certain paid airline WIFI used to do this).

* When I am on a network that might allow other users on the network to snoop on / mess with my traffic.

* When I want to access services that I have paid to access but are only available to IP addresses in a specific geographic region, and I happen to be in another geographic region.

Etc.
Youtube has done a decent job of filtering out copyrighted material (or even making sure certain videos are sold -- not distributed for free). I'm not sure why this can't be managed in a similar way.

The people in the article mention they had patents, etc. This would be easy to prove to corporations like Amazon and eBay.

I'm also surprised the US based companies distributing the goods aren't getting their pants sued off in court.
I understand the request, because I would not use the service myself for the same reasons.

But let's be real, if it became open source, I would just host it and never pay for it. They would have to do more work for less money. Hardly fair.

They can always start with a strong commercial offer, then later address the user locking issue. For them, I think it's a way better strategy. FOSS first is very hard to monetize. The Libre community is a terrible customer.
You easily could have just not put the notch in, and left a slight bezel on the top. Saying no one cares about the notch is a bit much. If it bothers someone, it bothers someone. If it doesn't bother you, it doesn't bother you. People are allowed to have different opinions.
DynDNS DDOS was pretty crippling
Why base your privacy on wishful thinking ("provider is probably not lying") instead of using privacy by design solutions? (e.g. i2p for torrenting)
How do you not get any additional privacy?
I use Nova Launcher, it's much nicer; I highly suggest it. there's so much more flexibility especially for these huge screens (I'm a Note 8 user). For icons, check out the Samsung Themes app. You can apply icon sets from different themes without touching the rest of the UI.
so IOS will not create a black bar to fill the areas adjacent to the notch?
There are a lot of honestly-marketed and fun products that you can buy China-direct on eBay, e.g. nuts and bolts of all types and random titanium or carbon bicycle fabrications, all with shockingly low shipping.

But I wouldn't trust them for something safety-critical, since you have no idea what engineering went into them and no recourse if they fail.
Switching to Apple doesn't really seem like a good way to move towards being more privacy conscious. Even if you don't mind the walled garden and lack of control of your own device (you should if you really want to care about privacy), recent revelations like silently granting special permissions to Uber app should remove any remaining appeal there may have been in them.

If the setting is saved I could see it being manageable. I think the bigger issue is if you have apps or games that stretch and get parts of it blocked by the notch. That is where you really can't do anything about it.

They are still useful for lumping your traffic in with others for copyright infringement. Torrent clients offer the files for sharing while downloading.

They are still useful for some simple geo evasion as well.

They aren't a solution for every security issue at all. Tor is generally better to run from open wifi from a tails USB rather than from a VPN.

Also, many VPNs actually log things they can provide to the FBI even though they lie and say they don't. They can get a NSL and end up having to without being able to tell you that they did. Sometimes a NSL canary is used, but not always.
Hmmm I can relate to what you are describing. I have some of that and was diagnosed with ADD in my 30s and I am a woman. Diagnose and medication helped immensely. It's as if you can't process too much signal at once. There is such a thing as asperger's spectrum. I cannot deal with high-pitched noises and noise in general really disturbs me.

Well, we can assume that they knew not to look directly at the Sun on a normal day, right? So there was perhaps already an understanding that caution was warranted.

But how do you know they didn't get eye damage? Seems reasonable to think that people did sustain damage to varying degrees. It still happens today... not even that rare, actually.

Also, assuming they weren't running for cover due to mistaking a total solar eclipse as a bad omen, they may have been interested in other things that prevented them from staring for extended periods. The 360 degree sunset, for example.

There are teraflop processors for the desktop now. Our standard 60 GFlop processors will take less than a minute to do a trillion operations. I don't see the computational bottleneck you refer to.

At least from a viewpoint of number of trials, we can easily replicate the number of trials evolution has to work with using an everyday desktop. Why don't we see comparable evolution in the desktop? There is some sort of magic to evolution we have not yet fathomed.
Most adtech aggregators / content hosters start out by bypassing copyright law. Then when they have clients and users large enough to care they lock it down. Also crunchyroll has the same model. The issue with competitors to YouTube is the fact that it has a large moat but Twitch shows you can cross it. I think an upcoming competitor that is interesting is Floatplane because they are bootstrapped and have no VC and have no intention of selling out . https://linustechtips.com/main/store/product/147-join-floatp...

Apple engineer fired after his daughter posts this short video of iPhone X
I re-read the article and now it makes more sense. The takeaway seems to be "serialize your functions in bulk and de-serialize later in bulk": in essence, treat your compute like your storage. But I don't see how this is distributed computing for the 99%?

PyWren appears to be what some of the serverless platform providers were missing, and also repeats a bit of history from the bad old days of parallel processing. While it totally works for a lot of scientific and a few business cases, it doesn't work for the general case. It's like saying MPI was the best solution for the 99%. But I might be overlooking another detail.

The biggest problem with depending on one aspect of a system for performance is that it becomes the bottleneck. We'll rely on low-latency, high-bandwidth storage? Now if it becomes low latency or low bandwidth, our app is boned. We'll rely on loads of cheap compute cycles? If compute nodes start choking, our app is boned. We'll rely on RAM? Our data becomes bigger, and our app is boned. We'll just scale horizontally? Our network gets partitioned, and our app is boned.

It can work fine for systems that don't require performance guarantees. If that's the 99%, then this seems like a good solution, though it also seems like you're trading off learning a complex stack for learning HPC development models.
I didn't mean to make you feel like that. My reply was trying to say, I feel the same as you, and I'm curious to know how other people manage to be fully aware of climate change yet remain positive and happy.

Diederich's reply to your comment seems to be a good start!
It isn't claiming to be sexual Harassment, but Harassment in general. This story would be equally awful it it happened to a man. However, a man wouldn't have to think about his personal safety as much by attending the event they won. So the result of the Harassment plays out differently for each gender.
But then they go on to mention several providers by name, with links.
Oh! That's an interesting idea. I hadn't considered providing additional population / infrastructure, as an economic incentive to "regreen" an area. You would still need some massive efforts around planting / watering the new vegetation though. So these "new towns" would be in addition to newly forested+grass areas?
I always wonder about ProtonVPN (the ProtonMail people).

It's Swiss based so I assume there would be a decent amount of round trip latency, but for sheer privacy it seems like a solid company that goes the extra mile by locating itself for legal purposes.

HP Test and Measurement > Agilent > Keysight

Keysight in essence is the spiritual (if not literal) inheritor of the original Hewlett-Packard. They still make fantastic well designed, long lived hardware. But all of those mergers and spinoffs, and whatnot had a less than ideal effect on the capital available to preserve it's (honestly) awe inspiring legacy.

For all we know, this was a temporary storage location, pending to something more permanent being built, or they were located there due to renovations. Heck, for all we know they were placed there while under the care of Agilent Technologies, before the spin-off. I'd hesitate to judge them based on this however.

At the end of the article, the author talks about how this is just harassment and that it's not necessarily sexual.

> Tech harassment — and harassment in general — isn’t just sexual. Sometimes it’s stalking. Sometimes it’s bullying. Sometimes it’s intimidation. I know too many people who’ve been impacted by workplace harassment related to their gender, sexual orientation, appearance, race, and more.
No matter what form harassment takes, and no matter where it happens, we need to do better.

The only time where she's frustrated about sexism taking place is when she brings up how her opinion was discarded by this rude team member:

> As project leader, I worked hard to keep us on track, but he veered off course: obsessing over winning, arguing irrelevant details, and challenging everything. When male mentors stepped in and unknowingly made suggestions identical to mine, Mark instantly flipped to agreement.
I was surprised by how prevelant these boxes are. It seems that every second family with kids has these and are streaming media to it.

These families had no idea what torrents are, but were using pirated content basically every day and streaming it a la netflix.

It is the future of piracy for sure. I suspect it is many many times larger in scope that torrents are currently.

(BTW I do not have one of these.)
