Have you read Ron Paul's piece? I think the argument about Russia makes a lot of sense. He claims that introducing protectionism in space actually made things more expensive, not cheaper.

"Specifically, Section 1615 of this year’s NDAA expressly forbids the Air Force from developing new launch vehicles by restricting expenditures to the development of new engines or the modification of existing systems. This prohibition is supposedly designed to address the “Russian threat” -- a threat manufactured by those seeking a new Cold War. In addition to flaming anti-Russian hysteria, this provision makes the company SpaceX the only affordable option for launch services. "

Also, shouldn't we be glad that space exploration is an international effort? Why should the USA design and build itself its entire launch systems?
At small scale just go with Kinesis. The base semantics are pretty much the same between the two, and Kafka is terribly complex to run. The hosted Kafka solutions are too expensive for small scale.

Kinesis has a real auth story too, plus you can trigger Lambda functions off streams.

I think miners have to know and care about a fiat exchange rate, at least until electricity can be paid for in BTC. So that's where I thought a threshold for miners running their equipment without losing money might come from - and thus a never-come-back dropdown limit. I really don't know, just curious. But probably automatic adjustment takes care of this, as you said.
Actually, the Times on the whole does rather well. In fact, there are a number of times when I find that it works so hard to present views from several angles that it falls into offering false equivalency and pandering.

[Off-topic: The bigger problem now is that even they are turning to clickbait headlines and animations. Anything they can to sell those eyeballs.]

There is also the opinion section, which while primarily left-leaning, also includes some serious conservatives. (McCain's recent OpEd comes to mind.)

You're absolutely right, though: the real issue is more about controlling emergent phenomena and self-organization. It fuels division and extremism.

Great job and nice to see Romania featuring in the news!

To those who just spent the last two years retraining your teams and retooling your infrastructure explicitly for docker (who may show up in this thread embracing and enhancing with a large marketing budget shortly), do take this opportunity to learn the architectural and management/maintenance value of abstraction. ;)
Thanks, it's worth mentioning that we're entirely focused on the dataset for object detection here, but it has a massive classification dataset as well.
Apple's position on privacy also led me to switch to iCloud recently.

Not that I agree with it but the conservative argument against SpaceX seems to be largely:

>Despite the numerous public statements by SpaceX CEO Elon Musk decrying crony capitalism, SpaceX would not exist without government contracts and subsidies. According to The Wall Street Journal, government contracts account for about 70 percent of SpaceX’s contracts. U.S. taxpayers have provided SpaceX more than $5.5 billion in the form of Air Force and NASA contracts.

from "Ron Paul: Crony defense budget hands SpaceX a monopoly - why?" op ed in Fox News http://www.foxnews.com/opinion/2017/09/12/ron-paul-crony-def...

I think he also annoys Breitbart types by talking about global warming.
Wrong thread. You want the Who's Hiring thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15601729
As someone who worked with the guy being mentioned and has heard some of the stories: It is indeed INCREDIBLY difficult to create this service, for a multitude of reasons. Ones that I can remember off the top of my head:
- Every company with flight information is insanely possessive of this information. It can take a long time to actually gain access to it.
- The information might be stored on literal magnetic tape, so you need to have a reader for that to even access flight information. (and they're not cheap)
- The rules for everything are insane, and completely different across every flight provider. Stuff like a ticket number/ID/whatever it was has complex rules built into it to understand what they mean.
- The search space for figuring out an optimal flight from Point A to Point B is VERY complex. He described it as almost driving their most talented engineer insane from trying to figure out how to optimize the search and make it actually work well. (and that doesn't even take into account finding the return flight as well)

I'm sure there were other things mentioned, but those are the ones I remember. If you want to try to disrupt this space, you'd have to be prepared to invest some good capital into just getting started, on top of actually physically flying to the people who can give you the information you need in order to gain access to it. It will not be easy, and it will not be quick. There's a reason ITA changed the game at the time.
There's a lot of money in defence procurement. Existing players will spend money to badmouth newcomers.

It's not entirely clear how Brietbart is being influenced... possibly the author is getting direct money or promises of future business.

Or they were simply taken out for a few drinks and convinced that SpaceX is the worst thing ever.
This is awesome. Why aren't we all programming this way?
I just pre-ordered Luminar; Aperture has been gone for a long time, so Lightroom has the market to itself—and Adobe is behaving like it. So I'm eager to try an alternative.
I get why the tone of the talk is ruffling feathers. If I were a serious Haskeller, I think I'd be a little miffed too. But I think it misses the forest for the trees, and I think, as I commented before, it's hard to understand the context of his issues without understanding his interest in systems. So I get why a lot of rebuttals have been focused on his somewhat glib representation of certain features, but it's still a little frustrating, because I don't think it's a particularly interesting debate.

I also don't think he referred to Haskell specifically at any point, and really just spoke about algebraic type systems generally. It wasn't in the scope of the talk, and I don't think it'd be a very interesting talk, to compare Clojure and Haskell features. I bet he thinks Haskell is a great language. Clojure takes a lot of inspiration from Haskell: default immutability, core seq functions that look like Data.List; STM, etc. There probably wouldn't be Clojure without Haskell. His whole point is that types, like any other design feature, come with costs. They can be quite heavy and constraining compared to their benefits in certain contexts, and that may not be worth it.

That being said, I don't think it's a compelling rebuttal to say: "If you use Dynamic and fdefertypeerror, Haskell addresses his issues." You'd be run out of town writing Haskell code like that.

Re. parametric polymorphism, he explicitly talks about parametricity, and his take seems to be that he doesn't find parametric types that useful for conveying information or guaranteeing interesting things (to him) about your program. I think he's exaggerating, but I get that it's a response to a lot of breathless advocacy about how informative type signatures are.

Again, regarding his tone in the talk, I get it. But I think this should provide Haskellers a good opportunity to examine how casually dismissive they are of other languages, especially dynamic ones. IME, statically typed FP proponents are much more dismissive of dynamic languages than dynamic language proponents are of types. It's often "Your language is unsound garbage for lazy programmers" vs. "Sometimes the type system becomes an overly-complex constraint on my problem."

As someone who does like types, I'm nonetheless glad that there are folks designing sound dynamic languages and arguing for their usefulness.

If all else is equal, you wouldn't.

But all else isn't equal. Since the deflationary one induces people to horde, you might have sudden, extreme inflation if people panic sell.

Bitcoin and other crypto are only deflationary if their economies grow faster than the supply. But that isn't at all guaranteed.

If you're in AWS land you can use Kinesis firehose to S3, which is perfect for Spark. Way more straightforward than any Kafka solution.

Masterfully put.

Re. a single editor: The constant, never-ending search for The Perfect Editor :)
Mayyybe, I'm not so sure but you could be right. [Edit to add: even at Google, most programmers are not doing that kind of stuff most of the time.]

On the flip side, though, I think many programmers (even programmers who are up to date on their CS) are fairly weak at mathematics. We think we're good because we can, you know, invert a binary tree, but how about figuring out an appropriate filter to smooth some data, or verifying that some randomized process is unbiased?

For something like digital filters, if you have basic knowledge you can just look up wikipedia for the details. But the same applies to data structures and big-O!

A lot of companies (including Google) can benefit strongly from people with good maths or stats skills. Do those people also need to be strong in CS? Or if not, do they need to be siloed into a separate hiring process, and placed in separate departments?

I reckon CS, maths, stats and other specialized academic training should all be treated as nice-to-have skills, of varying importance depending on the team balance and project requirements.
It's an interesting part of Stafford Beer's life story all right. But as somebody recently said on twitter, Uber has solved the calculation problem (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_calculation_problem) but certain parties on the left are still going on about Cybersyn, apparently mostly because of its retro-stylish control room. There's even a trendy cybernetics-inspired conference in New York this month: cybernetics.social

Gerovitch seems as good a guide as there is to the topic, speaking as someone who's been hearing about it and reading bits and pieces for over 10 years (of course it's never mentioned in CS programmes).

Eden Medina's 2011 book about Cybersyn was well received and tends to crop up in trendy bookstores. I don't mean to disparage all this but there are good reasons why the notions of cybernetics are not central to pedagogy in any field these days.
