I agree with your sentiment. The cash, even if overseas is still highly liquid and readily available.

The author though is trying to get across that certain financial instruments can have a negative multiplier effect.

Imagine a day where the S&P 500 drops by 10%, perhaps during it Apple Capital starts to liquidate a few investments. Let's say the next day is worse and we see another 12% drop. Depending on their hedging, diversification, asset class, investment type and liquidity, it could turn out to be a very bad day for Apple Capital enough to where it affects Apple Inc.

Obviously the above example is extraordinary and we're talking about highly sophisticated financial engineers but we are technically living in an extraordinary time. US Equities have not performed this well in a long time - perhaps since 1997.

No plan, he admits defeat. "I know I'm not young anymore. I cannot continue to make Rush Hour 1, 2, 3, 4, 5. How can I continue [to] do this kind of funny face".

Later he states that if he stays in the industry he will no longer act. "If I'm [to] continue on in the film industry," Jackie says, "I have to change. Otherwise, you gone. You see—in Japan. Korea. America. China. Hong Kong. How many action star all gone? Only few can stay. Stallone's different. He's a legend. Other action stars already gone.

"So that's why I'm looking for different script, different character, different Jackie Chan. I want the audience look at Jackie Chan as an actor. Not the action star. Actor who can fight. Look at Clint Eastwood. If he continue to 'Make my day'? Gone. So he change to directing. He change some other things. Look at Al Pacino. Robert De Niro. I wanna be an Asian Robert De Niro, Dustin Hoffman, Al Pacino."
Corporate chat apps are much stickier than that. After a while you integrate them into other services, build workflows on them and they become part of how your business functions. The specifics of what they integrate with and how determine what workflows you can build and how they work, which means these services are not fungible. Changing over can be very painful and costly.
Ask HN: How do you test-drive a new programming language? What do you build?
Hi HN,

I've been reading through Bruce Tate's excellent Seven Languages in Seven Weeks and really enjoying the chapter on Io (http://iolanguage.org). The example problems in the book have been fun to solve, but I want to see how the language scales to larger problems. This is where my problem starts.

Io barely has a community. Libraries are either unavailable or unmaintained. There are very few examples on the Web that describe what people have built with it.

I build front-end Web applications for a living, so my first instinct when learning a new language/framework is to build some simple UIs (todo lists, spreadsheets, etc), or small games (pong, space invaders, etc). If I like the language, I scale up to something more complex, like a reddit client or chat application.

Since Io doesn't have bindings to GUI libraries, doesn't compile to JS, and I can't get the OpenGL bindings to work correctly on the Mac, I'm at a dead end.

So far, I'm thinking of building a dungeon crawler, since I only need simple console I/O for that. However, I'd like to know what kind of applications other people build with a new programming language. I feel programming puzzles like Project Euler or reimplementations of common data structures don't really reflect the real-world of a language. I prefer to build the kind of applications I'm likely to use myself.

So HN, what applications do you build when you learn a new programming language?
Actually nutria fur is very nice to touch and a good quality since it's water resistant (if we set aside the moral side of wearing furs). Also they're cute little critters (when you see them outside of the swamp, I guess), but yes, they're horribly invasive pest, and here in Europe create a lot of problems because they dig holes in river banks and dams.

Those innovations sound like you could be talking about São Paulo as well (they've done all those things). One of the proposals I once heard from a São Paulo city planner was for more people to telecommute. If more companies allow for remote work, the streets don't need to be (as) congested. But I'm skeptical about the long-term success of such a move.

What would work a lot better, with the current set-up, is a massive carpooling scheme, since SP transit stats show most automobile trips are single-occupant (IIRC). What would work even better than that is another city-planning 'trick' - making as many neighborhoods as self-sufficient as possible (work/shop/commune near where you already live).
Lol.

Something similar happened with wine too.

There was some smart researcher(Brochet), who took white white, added red food coloring to it, and did a blind test between that and red wine, for wine "science" students. They couldn't reliably tell the difference.

And than he went and created his own expensive wine brand, successfully.
Oh interesting, thanks for sharing!
Why Businesses Need Customer Service Software (infographic)
This reminds me of the free-banking era. I believe half of the currencies failed within five years, and none survived twenty.

It would be a smarter move for most of these young men to produce a useful product instead of trying to get rich by pecuniary rentierism, but "get rich quick" scams seem popular now.
I don't think so, because these data sources are the exchanges were people trade currencies, and if the numbers sent were significantly different from the rates at people were actually trading, they could be easily caught.

Plus, it's not clear that they have any way of knowing that a certain API call fetching the rates is going to a particular smart contract, so they'd have to lie to everybody in a way that is immediately apparent.

I don't think so. Development seems easy just like singing you can do it at home, have some results on your own computer. But look at talent shows, there are people who can sing and win but still do not have what it takes to build career after winning talent show. Secondly there is whole bunch of occupations that pay well like dentist but how do you even practice that without buying expensive tools.

> I know not every researcher or entrepreneur has the resources of NVIDIA to train for this many days, but let's not forget, that part needs to occur only once.

I agree with you, but most people don't (specially those sending the mails)

In that situation, it seems more productive to advocate for multi-part emails with a sensible plain text part than to sentence "mails should be plain text only", with no arguments and no compromises...
> I don't really want an unbiased platform. I want a news source that accepts the postulates I accept.

And this is why we can't hve nice things. The argument here is that we generally don't want an echo chamber focused on one family of postulates and that by wishing for one, the end effect is the depreciation in social value of information sources.

Think of it like genetics/evolution. You want a broad gene/information pool rather than an intellectually inbred circle-jerking cesspool circling the drain of attention at the expense of knowledge and education.
It should be possible to implement the instanceof operator for arbitrary types using essentially the same logic as the type checker. (Caveat: I don't know whether any TypeScript-specific properties make this impossible, since I have never used it.)

For each object, there is some function that takes no input and returns that object, by simply constructing the recursion-free parts of the object graph and then filling in any cycles. (TypeScript allows mutation, right?)

Then the question of `x instanceof Foo` becomes "is the function returning x typeable as () -> Foo". Of course that check is going to be much much more expensive than the simple comparison of the class tag other languages use, so I can understand why it's not part of the language.

Worth pointing out the main criticism of GANs, which is that right now researchers don't really have a way to tell if a GAN is just copying and pasting the training data or not (there is no "test set" unlike in supervised learning). And in fact an ideal GAN could just learn to output the training set. One example someone found in the generated images for this model: https://twitter.com/nalkalchbrenner/status/92401333254951321....

Basically, our purpose for the API changed. The old stack was created first as an MVP, then evolved a lot over time. We decided to make our API useful not just for our front end, but also for developers.

The mongo "schema" was a mess, and our data actually has quite a lot of relations, so postgres was an obvious choice. That was probably the most important change.

None of our current engineers have much experience in node (the one who built the api originally no longer works for the company), and we all dislike it as a language. The code itself was a mess, and would need to be rewritten even just to switch to postgres. Ideally, we wanted a language that was typed, functional, and good for web programming. We built small prototypes in Nim, Rust, and Elixir, and Elixir just ran away with it, even though its typing is less than ideal.

The graphql choice (and the direct impetus for the rewrite) was basically because we decided to make our api useful not only for our front end, but also for our users to interact with directly from their code. For this to be reasonable, the endpoints needed to be completely restructured, and we needed to expose a lot more of our database. It seemed pretty clear that having a single graphql endpoint to expose all our data would buy us a lot in terms of being developer-friendly. Even just exploring in GraphiQL is so much better than reading docs for a REST API.

Overall, it's taken about two months of my time plus the last couple of weeks of one other engineer's time to recreate it all and migrate the data.

If I understand the problem correctly (I'm not a Facebook user) their articles, which were being stuffed into users' feed, now require one more click from the user to be seen. And if their audience don't do that click now, they overestimate importance of their work.

This perhaps roots in the behaviour of browsers ten and more years past. Back in the day, you'd often get a "flash of white" during page loads. Today, not any more. A full-reload and a "seven million lines of JS client-side renderer" application are virtually indistinguishable. Chances are that the "full-reload" app is faster.
It means it will look good in Thunderbird and Gmail for Android. Thunderbird will render custom CSS it won't load any external resources though (e.g. images). Maybe it's a nice idea to add preview to this tool how would it look like on Thunderbird and mobile.
You can use client certificates in h2, you just can't do TLS renegotiation. So you have to request a client cert in the initial handshake; you can't ask later (eg for a specific URL).
Well, that wasn't the claim, that all work in science is interesting. It was that mine is. And it very clearly is about values. Your hypothetical job in industry that's 3/4 uninteresting sounds awful to me. I'd never want that. For any (realistic) amount of money.
I don't terribly mind html emails as such - sure, it's sad that those that enable html are more likely to get tracked and/or hacked, than those of us that stick to reading the text/plain and distinct attachments (eg: images).

The real question is: does this render nice, full, text/plain? I doubt it - it's certainly possible to go from <rich XML format> to markdown/ReST/etc+html -- but it seems much easier to get good text/plain results by using something like markdown as the foundation (markdown becomes the text/plain part).

The faq doesn't say, and from a glance the docs don't mention text/plain. So I'm guessing this generates invalid email (no usable text/plain part).
I would say that it probably is. If you trained a network using illegal data (e.g. cp images) then not only did you have to have that data once, which is of course illegal, but the data itself is at least partially encoded in the network weights which I think should make it illegal.
It's nice of you to make your web presence work for someone with 400Kbps link with a 400ms round-trip-time (“RTT”), while you're at it, also make sure it works with JavaScript turned off! And browsers with limited CSS support. And is readable on a terminal browser. And 600x400 px resolution.
For me, it's the other way around. I find a piece of technology that I want to use, and then, sometimes, it comes with a new programming language I have to learn. For example, I didn't install Python and then wonder what to do with it. I was using Mercurial, had a need for a custom plugin, so I learned Python so I could write the plugin.
Well, if they were 10 years away in 2008, that should mean the first 90% is done this year, then it'll be another 9 years for the remaining 10%? So 2026? ;-)

It is a bit silly considering you can trivially brute onion addresses consisting entirely of words.

Are JS frameworks really easier than your good ol' fully server-side rendered websites? I doubt that. There are costs for everything, both for using and _not_ using JS. It's silly to think that only using JS adds a cost and nothing else. That's just tunnel vision.

They’re trying to cash in on a big name they own. They use a “better fitting” name would be bad for their business. This gets them free publicity/legitimacy.
I stand corrected, you are right!
Yes, but they probably did not get it right on first try. You usually need hundreds of iterations to get it right. This does not imply 2000 days of GPU, but it quickly pushes this outside of reach of consumer hardware.

>Regardless, keeping people in menial jobs is not optimal for them or for consumers and almost certainly not a policy that will generally persist when more capable AIs are available. //

"Keeping" people in menial jobs isn't the issue. When the robot takes over it's because the owner-capitalists can make more profit by cutting the proles out of the loop.

It's not the job, it's money to pay for water+food+shelter that's the issue.

If rich capitalists are happy to give up their profits to make an equal society with few menial roles then your way s works. There's no evidence that's the case and lots of evidence against it.

Ahh, this is so much better. I'm red-green colorblind but I'd have thought that using the "rainbow" color wheel gradient wasn't very intuitive to people with normal color vision either. Given two hues it isn't intuitively obvious which hue is "greater" (as is evident from the fact that people have to memorize the order of the colors in a rainbow), plus the scale wraps around perceptually (as the term "color wheel" implies) so it isn't even a proper total order.
Vector engines really suffer from numerical stability problems, so for certain kinds of problems, you'll get wrong answers (but at least you'll get them fast).
Have you ever written HTML emails? It’s a mess, a disaster, with Outlook using an engine worse than IE5 and everyone else hacking emails to pieces and only supporting certain subsets of HTML and CSS.

This sort of thing makes navigating that absurd maze tolerable, so that you can write something comparatively straightforward and have it transform it into the eldritch horror that is HTML email.

This particular thing includes a few of the more mystical incantations to get the MSO renderer (Outlook and ) to do the right thing. I’m fairly impressed with it for that reason. It stays away from using VML for the best results, which… well, it’s probably safest.

Of course, the result is still far from perfect, because HTML for emails is that bad.

I suspect Lovecraft had premonitions about HTML emails.

Disagree. Apple is one among thousands of companies avoiding tax, while Mom-and-pop companies pay exorbitant rates. No one's working around laws - they're following it diligently while maintaining their fiduciary duty to investors.

US corporate tax rates are among the highest in the world - even Canada - having a reputation for being socialist - has a lower rate. You're forcing companies to pay 0% tax in the US if they can get away paying only 5% in Ireland. And Ireland is benefiting disproportionately from American innovation - because of onerous tax rates
