Second, declaring someone to be an outlaw would make it illegal to transact basically any business with them. ... In this sense, outlawry could be considered an absolute economic embargo targeted at a person or persons rather than a state or government.

Governments, and even political pressure groups, are re-inventing this aspect of outlawry when they freeze bank accounts and use more informal kinds of pressure to make 3rd parties punish people.

Partly they do this for the same reason as medieval courts: it's a work-around for the fact that people are hard to reach because they live overseas. But also note, these new methods can be used without a court order. Which raises the suspicion that the real limitations being worked around are tedious matters like the presumption of innocence and due process of law.

Correct. And here's why: https://www.realworldtech.com/tile-based-rasterization-nvidi...
Loans that are issued without regard to your credit and also are dischargeable in bankruptcy wouldn’t be workable. New graduates usually have no assets. They could declare bankruptcy immediately, and usually are young enough where they would have plenty of time to clear up their credit before needing to buy a house, etc.
Yes, but when you look at the ratio of escapist material to material that was used to directly make sense of the world around the audience, older material seems to have a smaller amount of fluff. However, this is probably just a function of historical preservation; we only know of the masterpieces that were passed down because of them being key to philosophical research, while tons of "lighter" material has simply been lost (and keeps being lost every day).
Granholm v. Heald was about rules which targeted direct sales from wineries, and held that states couldn't have different rules for in-state wineries and out-of-state wineries. I'm saying California could impose rules on, say, larger breweries, which don't really exist in California.

AOLServer was actually bought by AOL; originally it was NaviServer. It was open sourced in 1999 by AOL.

It's a fantastic server, imo, and some of the technology developed for it were eventually brought into the Tcl core (not exactly, but the general approaches) when multi-threading was added. At least, that's my understanding.
AmEx has theirs on the front, but I don't know if that says anything about it defeating the purpose or not.

> Citing superficial similarities to mythical figures...

I think you missed why I quoted Tolkien. There's something compelling about a common mythology for a culture. The modern cosmopolitan culture, American especially, doesn't have an ethnic, racial, or language identity to fall back on when exploring identity, struggle, the merits of sacrifice, moral issues, etc. Mythological figures allow us to explore these themes in a less traumatic way.

You can call that "escapism", I guess, but I think The Dark Knight was one of the few films that wrestled with the War on Terror in honest ways. It had to be a mythological film (Batman v. Joker) because the same subject would have gone over rather poorly in one way or another if it were an actual terrorism/spy thriller or something.

Anyway, I think Tolkien wasn't exactly wrong to pine for an exploration of culture, language, and identity through mythological archetypes. He, in particular, wanted non-borrowed ones. We are sort of in the same boat since nearly all content is borrowed in a global market.

Sorry I wasn’t clear about that.

The article is using some very heavy constraints on networking and hardware based on a global, mobile audience.

My constraints do not take that into account. But they would only add a max of 200ms on top of that minimum the article is talking about.

Not anything near ~4 secs. 4 secs to do anything on a web app is malpractice.
As someone who was looking forward to getting a consumer version of Glass, I get a special schadenfreude looking back at all the articles saying how obvious it was that Spectacles would succeed where Google failed.
They would be considered among the first "Silicon" pioneers. But the real progenitors are Hewlett and Packard -- or more properly, their mentor at Stanford, Fred Terman.

Hewlett and Packard were only two of the key founders who were 'discovered' and nurtured by Terman. His name is way too obscure today, given his influence.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frederick_Terman
That account has been shadow banned, I suspect. And only comments not vouched for are unhidden.
1. It should. The talk recommends using multiple cluster sizes (e.g. 50,500,5000) and give more weight in the query to smaller clusters. Ideally you would run word2vec on your own domain-specific corpus and then cluster, but that only works if your corpus is of sufficient size.

2. Correct. The goal of the pre-processing step is to generate a Solr synonyms file which can be added to your index mapping.

3a. You could use all the words, but in general I would advise against it. Using all the words from Wikipedia or Google News would be similar to using a thesaurus which can add a lot of noise. For example, the word "cocoa" could mean chocolate, a city in Florida, or programming language. It is better to use a list of domain-specific keywords and phrases as a filter for which words are added to the Solr synonyms file. However if your corpus is Wikipedia, Google News, or something equally generic, then using all the words makes sense.

3b. It must be both query and index time. For example, the phrase "java developer" would have the mapping "java developer => cluster_15" in the synonyms file. In order for the search terms "java developer" to match cluster_15, "cluster_15" must be indexed in place of "java developer".

4. The different forms will most likely end up in the same cluster, but stemming would guarantee it.
That is extremely weird considering the frame etc has so much more mass.

Do you have some math on that?
But does anyone oppose reasonable rules for time-of-day-based noise levels in an apartment or neighborhood? It really doesn’t matter if your permanent neighbors or transient guests are the ones making the noise, either should cause the property owner/renter to get fined/evicted.
it's clear you've decided to chime in on the conversation despite having no familliarity with Moore, which is why you have nothing more to offer than a lame sequence of pointless jabs

DC comics bought the rights to Watchmen fair and square but Moore will never let it go, he made many early claims to want to be the greatest comics writer in history...but he just ended up making someone else money

you could have learned most of this from Google in the time it took you to paste your canned response
Yes, I think people really underestimate how much data they leak all day long, and how strong the pattern is. Simply emitting bluetooth and wifi, nevermind cellular, all day long can expose an incredible amount of stuff, provided someone can piece it all together (which is exactly what Facebook and other ad companies do).

We like to pretend we're unique and powered by free-will but the reality is most things you do are fairly easy to track and predict.

We're not in 1984, but certainly the capability is _already_ there. The difference between us and 1984 is only really one of intent, and you can guess how long that'll last.

Building My First Electron App – React, Sass, and More
I have a similar anecdote. Girlfriend was having some symptoms, we briefly talked about it then walked to the pharmacy and bought a pregnancy test. Maybe 30 minutes after purchasing the test we watched a youtube video on her phone. The ad on the video was for the exact test we bought.

I figured that youtube got the credit card info from the purchase but I was shocked at how quickly that translated into something showing on the screen. I've always thought about these things in the back of my mind but this was still eye opening for me.

I'd never had it happen to me personally since I aggressively block all ads :)
I’m not saying that line of argument won’t work, but it’s certainly not one I would take with a friend or acquaintance since you’re effectively lying. I guess you could call it “tact” or “rhetoric,” but I find your suggested opening lines very slimy and dishonest.
It doesn't look like it. If the account were shadowbanned the comments would be tagged "[dead]". It looks like they're often low-effort or unsubstantial comments of the type that would be downvoted anyway.
Exploring Terraform Graphs with D3.js (Part 2)
Sure. I am used to, nay, I _expect_ ads for software tools and music gear given my work and hobbies in my life, as I frequently talk about those things to my friend on FB and IRL all the time.

But wiper blades is so off the charts for me, that I was totally surprised to see about 3 ads for them the day after I had a discussion in the car. I don't even go to sites remotely associated with the automotive industry. Not even locality based, as it was a full 4 months out of the real 'wet season' we have later in the year. (NOTE: Not even in our wet season did I see random ads for wiper blades).

Having said that, I won't be surprised to see more wiper blade ads now that I have been talking about it on HN - who knows if they have linked up the data from online forums back to FB etc.? The handle I use here I tend to use on nearly all online forums I belong to.
Replying to check back in one year. Good luck chasing Microsoft's moving cheese!
The idea that they're listening to your mic is rather ridiculous. I mean, we'd find out eventually, and the consequences of widespread illegal wiretapping would be severe for Facebook, they would really cease to exist.

However, as you said, they don't need to. Localization and usage metrics alone can tell you an incredible amount of extremely detailed information.

> no modern "bad guys" can do unambiguous, demented evil as well as the Nazis used to

The Nazis were complete shits on an unprecedented scale, but there was quite a bit of "demented evil" done by Americans too in WWII, like carpet-bombing European cities and interning citizens of Japanese ancestry.

The world has never been simple. "Black & white" is always a result of hegemonic propaganda more than actual conditions. It so just happens that certain strains of propaganda seem particularly ineffective on the most creative personalities of our age; but it takes very little for things to change. A lot of stuff produced in all media between 2011-09-11 and 2013-03-14 was very black & white, and without that senseless invasion we'd probably have many more monodimensional "Arab baddies" around today.

The powerful ought to be have no privacy, because with power there's the need for public oversight. Ditto for corporations, government, and so on. And conversely, the weak ought to have total privacy, because they're so vulnerable.

In reality, we have pretty much the opposite. Because wealth and power protect themselves. So it goes.

We _are_ in 1984, but unlike the book, it's not imposed on us. We signed up for it. And those of frequenting HN most likely are the ones helping to build it.

Think about it: tomorrow is Monday. How many folks on this board will be working on analytics and tracking once they get in to the office? A lot of us, guaranteed. And how many of us will take a principled stand, swearing not to work on products until surveillance features are removed? A few of us, guaranteed.
It sounds like you also disagree with laws which are in place to prevent sexual harassment and prevent discrimination on the basis of race, religion, nationality, etc.

After all, these laws also limit your freedoms in the sorts of economic activities that can be done at work. If that's the case, then I consider your views too idealistic and unsuitable.

And I've read the EEOC guidelines. There are many precedents which show that being a sexual harasser is separable from being "just undesirable to work with". There's no bright and clear line, but if that's what you require than you demand the impossible.

You also don't seem to understand why some people would rather be an employee, and not simply be a contractor. Many people want a longer-term, more stable position, the ability to influence work conditions, get respect, etc. and as jernfrost pointed out at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15578545 lack of these factors will cause resentment and disloyalty, and people will "tend to give less shit about their company because they know the company is never there to have their back".

In order to judge "the inability of immigrants to integrate into the Swedish economy", what factors do you use to compare it to the US? Because I seem to recall a lot of integration problems in our own history. And hasn't Sweden taken in a lot more refugees recently than the US has? I heard many US politicians who didn't even want to try to integrate Syrian refugee orphans. I think that has to count in the negative column.
Quoting Bill Hicks:

"I was in Nashville, Tennesee last year. After the show I went to a Waffle House. I'm not proud of it, I was hungry. And I'm alone, I'm eating and I'm reading a book, right? Waitress walks over to me: 'Hey, whatcha readin' for?' Isn't that the weirdest fuckin' question you've ever heard? Not what am I reading, but what am I reading FOR? Well, godammit, ya stumped me! Why do I read? Well . . . hmmm . . . I dunno . . . I guess I read for a lot of reasons and the main one is so I don't end up being a fuckin' waffle waitress."

Bill Hicks would have been described as pretentious by people who disagree with what he says. They'd have also said his humour wasn't clever, it was just insulting, rude, and low-brow. They wouldn't be entirely wrong, but they'd be mostly wrong.

Same goes for South Park or Rick & Morty or The Simpsons. Those who disagree will find ways of protecting their world view against a trickle or tide of inconvenient or uncomfortable alternatives no matter how logically, reasonably, and / or cleverly the alternative is presented.
The wording of the article seems to suggest that Rails is a language.

Ruby: 1995; 22 years ago.

It does seem to me, though, that people are moving from Rails to Django and other Python frameworks. I have no data to support this, just my gut feeling.
Why would they even bother? On the one hand, they don't need to, they already collect an incredible amount of data on everyone. And on the other, if they were to get caught listening, that's a gross violation of so many federal laws that it's possible Facebook wouldn't even exist the day after it was uncovered.

The risk is incredibly high, and the payoff not that great.

What we're seeing is simply that people fail to understand how much data they leak, and how effective Facebook is at putting it all together. They assume it must be magic, listening to their words, listening to their thoughts, but the reality is they don't need to, because we are _voluntarily_ telling them all this info already.
When governments are using Facebook as a platform for disinformation campaigns, other governments are going to have to get involved to regulate usage. Facebook needs to find its moral compass very quickly.
It's impossible not to have things to hide, as a normal human being. We don't live in glass homes, and are responsible for keeping a lot of information hidden (SSN, passwords, credit card number, credit reports, etc).

DIY GUCCI FLIP FLOPS
I spent more than 10 years working on this problem. One major challenge is how to represent the genotype-phenotype map so that genetic variation leads to favorable phenotypic changes. For this you start going down a rabbit hole of developmental evolution and the evolution of evolvability and then a seemingly unrelated subject: the evolution of robustness.

For anyone that’s interested here’s an article I published in 2008–it has about 175 citations.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2538912/

I’d also recommend the work by Peter Eggenberger from the late 90s.
So its not just a single neural net. Its a bunch of different ML algorithms chained together. I'm essentially automating a 12(ish) piece electronic band. So first I have a ML algorithm that makes a chord progression. Then another that makes a bassline from the chords. Then another that makes a beat from the bassline & the chords and so on. At each step it uses the selected patterns to predict the next layer to be added. So to answer the question directly you can use RNN for some timeseries stuff. To decide if rhythm pattern are compatible I found success with CNN, random forests, and support vector machines. I even found you can make reasonable chord progressions just using N-grams. What I'm trying to say is I found I had to make an entire audio production pipeline that uses ML at each step of the way.
>> ...tedious matters like the presumption of innocence and due process of law.

As the OP states, outlawry was generally used where people refused to submit to a court. They have chosen not to exercise their due process rights and we therefore presume them guilty (the other option being to presume them innocent and therefore encourage everyone to abscond). In the modern context, economic sanctions on individuals or organizations are used where the person is outside the court's jurisdiction but their assets are not.
But someone might not be doing what everyone thinks they're doing in there.
I've been writing quite a bit of Kotlin, lack of semicolon isn't a great idea in my opinion.

The problem is that while Java is newline-agnostic (newline is just another whitespace), Kotlin has some rather difficult rules to determine the what a newline does.

Granted, the rules are not quite as insane as those of Javascript, but I find it very unsatisfying newlines are sometimes significant, and sometimes not.

And just to make it clear where I'm coming from on this topic, my preferred language is Common Lisp, so I really prefer consistent syntax.
The internet sure was good while it lasted.
Agree. This is really inexcusable. I just had my college and high school papers and letters digitized at 4 cents a page (8 cents a page if the machine detects writing on the other side). Ironically it’s a place in East Bay that’s receiving a lot of business due to the fires. The standard industry grade machines can scan 60 pages per minute and provide basic OCR. Higher power machines can apparently do 600 pages per minute. So, a box of papers containing about 2500 pages would be $100 and take a professional 45 minutes. It’s too bad this wasn’t digitized and put online or in a museum, like the ones Wells Fargo have in their major flagship bank locations. I guess banks want to show a 100-year history whereas it’s not a selling point for tech.
Golang Funcs: Baby-Gopher’s Visual Guide
much like the leadership of Eric Schmidt or Steve Jobs of the recent era, William Hewlett and David Packard did a lot to set the culture and ethos of the Bay Area tech scene in their time - in the 60s through the 80s. Since HP ended up being one of the larger companies of that period, many engineers and managers were influenced by early experience there.
I am sure there has been lots of theoretical justification in favor of the uniform prior in Bayesian statistics, especially for bounded intervals. I am not a stats guy though, so I can't show you the justifications in detail.

The whole argument though was that you are not using prior information. And so you cannot assign prior probabilities in a more intelligent manner than uniform.

If you do use prior information like say, that lots of people have tried to solve for P=NP and have not succeeded, you can assign a higher probability to P/=NP.

But that's only if you assume that people trying to solve for P=NP and not succeeding makes it more likely that P/=NP is true. It is an assumption that you have to make explicit and this is the assumption that is being argued for in the OP article.

The thing is that without having priors, you can't do better than uniform.
It just a loan if the business is fine. It's only a bail out if they are sinking.

I don't mean communism failed because of central economic planning. But, China is a great example of how totalitarianism can survive, but central planning is hard.

If it makes you feel better I can point to plenty of US examples. Central planning seems like a good idea, but it's really harder than most assume.
I have a Lenovo Ideapad y510p [newegg] with a i7 4700MQ [ark]. Cost me $999 when I bought it too (got $50 back after price match with Amazon bringing cost down to $950). Anyways, I play with VirtualBox a lot as well and would love to know more about compatibility with Linux. I am on Fedora 26 for my base os (that I am typing this on) now and nVidia proprietary drivers have been nothing but trouble so I just stick with whatever the distro comes with.

I would like to know about the progress with SR_IOV as well. I've never had an AMD processor but would definitely welcome some competition. AMD, if you're reading having graphics drivers "mainline" in the Linux kernel would be a huge plus. Thank you!
