I think the idea is that it's supposed to hide the content until the page has loaded entirely, then fade it in, because it "looks faster". But if uMatrix (or something similar) blocks scripts from ampproject.org, you just get a nice 8s delay. You can get around it by removing /amp/ from the end of the URL ( https://herbsutter.com/2017/11/11/trip-report-fall-iso-c-sta... )
You can't make conclusions about the number >140 based on a shift of the mean. IQ is scaled so that the general population has a normal distribution. That doesn't necessarily mean some subpopulation has a normal distribution. Even if that was the case, the subpopulation distribution would still have a different standard deviation. (It would partly depend on the level of assortative mating within that population.)
High-end apartments is still more housing. People moving into the high-end apartments will leave some other, perhaps cheaper apartments free.
The slow pace of progress towards clearance of amyloid, in that only in the past year has one of the immunotherapy trials actually looked promising, has provoked a lot of alternative theorizing these past five years. Some it is clearly not so great, such as the fellow who argues that it is caused by rising use of paracetamol (see http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3921468/ ), but some lines of theory are much more compelling. A more encompassing synthesis is emerging in which microbial infection by spirochetes and gum disease bacteria (e.g. see https://doi.org/10.3389/fnagi.2017.00336 ) that can provoke amyloid formation as well as failing drainage of cerebrospinal fluid (e.g. see https://doi.org/10.1002/ana.24271, https://www.ethz.ch/en/news-and-events/eth-news/news/2017/11..., etc) that stops removal of amyloid, tau, etc are as important as purely cell focused considerations of the biochemistry of amyloid beta.

For an example of the new type of venture emerging now as a result of all of this you might look at Leucadia Therapeutics, working on a way to restore drainage through the cribiform plate, but there will be more in the years ahead to complement the immunotherapy for amyloid and tau mainstream.

Thank you for all the efforts. I am interested in MCU synthesis on FPGAs and this is a really interesting project.

I just have one request though. If you are interested in Makers taking interest in your project please make sure your documentation is top quality. Also try to provide cheap dev boards so that the community can provide Linux or some RTOS port. I being in India it would help immensely if you have your dev resources at lower costs(FPGAs which I really doubt but dev boards with your processor, yes) so that people like me can help you with some OS ports. You can also follow the route of Adapteva Inc which can provide you with a template of good quality product (i.e. Good documentation, source code etc).

I'm often surprised just how much more expensive premium economy tickets are. I get that some people are willing to pay more for extra legroom, free/better food and drink and so on, but the cost is often 5x that of standard economy. To me, that seems a ridiculous markup to pay for slightly more comfort for only a few hours, but I guess it works because airlines sell and fill these seats.

It seems that storing the file is not just a development aid, because it seems they are still doing it after the fix (according to the report, I don't have any compatible product to try it out...). They just make sure to delete it when it is not needed.

The reason they store the file probably has to do with technical constraints. Maybe the audio API they are using only works with files and not memory buffers, maybe the buffer took too much space, maybe it is a workaround of some kind. We won't know without analyzing their code.
The landscape is of course complex... but I think that companies exposing their clients to such risk will only learn to protect their clients rights to privacy and to self-determination once organized groups of clients fight back on the court against this kind of practice.
This is a question of human rights, not just a technical feature.
Companies need to take legal responsibility over their decisions in any case where the security, freedom and free will of clients are at risk.
When I think about the reasons to pursue owning a house over an apartment, I will remember the Waffle Brunch. It sounds like such a house with a yard thing.
I doubt they'd go for that. Airlines have to have flexibility to swap aircraft running a particular route to account for delays. If they swapped to a smaller seat pitch aircraft between a customer's booking and takeoff time, that'd lead to confusion and complaints.
They may be "others". Unsurprisingly, ISIS is known to force people to work for them.

We know no more about the theory of LSTM networks than we do about ordinary NNs.

Perhaps, but we do know a lot more about how (deep) NNs work than we did 40 years ago.

Take for example: Generalization in Deep Learning[1] which gives a theoretical grounding of generalization.

McCulloch and Pitts original 1943 paper explicitly mentions hooking a recurrent NN to external memory (they talk about a Turing machine tape).

While I'm with you on safety concerns, does that rule still apply to forward facing seats? Most crashes happen when the aircraft is flying forward - so on forward facing seats the thing your head will eventually hit if it whips back is the headrest. I guess because cabin crew seats (almost always?) face backwards, this is more of a concern. (Of course, some airlines like BA offer rear facing beds in business class, but these provide much more space than the minimum clearance requirement).
This is a good read and explains APIs in detail.

Frugally-deep – A header-only library for using Keras models in C++
The 1st point is, everything went much more easily than you expect. You can try it out with your own iPhone X, the phone shall recognize you even when you cover a half of your face. It means the recognition mechanism is not as strict as you think, Apple seems to rely too much on Face ID's AI. We just need a half face to create the mask. It was even simpler than we ourselves had thought.

Interesting. I expected this to be some quite obscure technique.
> A: We used a popular 3D printer. Nose was made by a handmade artist. We use 2D printing for other parts (similar to how we tricked Face Recognition 9 years ago). The skin was also hand-made to trick Apple's AI.

> Q: What's the approximate cost of the mask?

> A: ~ 150 USD

Taken together, the second answer cannot be true. Only if the cost stated is related to material cost only, which is is only one input factor to assess the total cost of this approach
Biometrics are usernames not passwords. Biometrics should never be used on the sole authentication method they should only be used in conjunction with something else.
Initially I started to built this library solely as a learning experience. But then I needed to deploy Keras models in a specific C++ application and thus added the Keras import. Along the way I learned a lot about the the Keras model format, the details of implementing the different layer types and the computational graph. I would be happy to hear your feedback and to answer questions. :-)
Nevermind. Should have read the article. I thought it was the same as the one I saw over the weekend.
> The tech is there.

This is why comments such "but spy agencies have always been spying, it's their job" have always pissed me off. The spy agencies will continue to encroach on our rights the more "tech is here". We now have "smart" devices with mics and cameras in every room, so they're going to use that.

If 30 years from now we'll use some kind of "bluetooth headset" that actually interacts directly with our thoughts, then they'll use that, too, to screen out thoughts and arrest you for "extremist thoughts". There's no limit for how far these people are willing to go - just because "the tech is here".

And the sad part is the vast majority of people don't understand new tech, so they aren't even aware what's happening until it's way too late. And then it's already "normalized" and the government agencies cry about "how much they need it" and do slight of hand tricks with "look over here, this tech helped us save a kid from kidnapping!" -- "but don't look over there, where we abused it in 95% of the cases for our own twisted and vengeful interests."
Wonder if this would work have Apple not relaxed their FaceID sensor requirements to ship the phones more quickly.
Independent Benchmarking Catapults Brytlyt to the Fastest GPU Database Spot
Yeah I used to go early to do this, but more recently they've been far less lenient and far more airlines encourage (or borderline force) early check in. These days I just pay attention to the aircraft, I can sit in regular seats on widebody/long haul aircraft but can't do it on a320s or 737 class aircraft with budget airlines (there are surprising exceptions such as easyjet and ryanair but I think that's truly because of thinner profile seats)
As a consumer this doesn't worry me as to be able to crack my phone it looks like they would already have to have access to my face to make the mask (and an expert sculpture to make a nose).

If they could demonstrate it working from a 3D printed mask taken from a surreptitious scan at distance in the outdoors then I think we'd have reason to be worried.

For spies, spooks, government agents etc. I suspect that Face ID would always be a no-no as it is much harder to control the ability of others to eavesdrop.
More than 400Maires tell Congress: Don’t cut our taxes
I would expect the language to be the issue? As a European I took the GRE with zero prep and comfortably got an 800 on the numeric part and a 6.0 on the essay part (I felt I was consciously pandering with an American-style essay because that seemed to be what they wanted), but dropped a bit in the verbal part (640) which seemed to be just about knowing dictionary definitions for a lot of obscure words.
These two loops:

raw_data = [line.split('|', 1) for line in [x.strip() for x in content]]

can be simplified to a single loop:

raw_data = [line.strip().split('|', 1) for line in content]

Using str.replace here is also non-idiomatic:

plt.title('Top $n Sites Visited'.replace('$n', str(topN)))

How about using str.format instead:

plt.title('Top {n} Sites Visited'.format(n=topN))
Those criticisms are mostly of the way rustc outputs errors (it is definitely open to improvement, and notable improvements are made every few months) and how rustdoc shows generics (automatic generation of such things can’t really work well; there are ways that it could probably be improved, but they’re hard enough that no one has tried any of them that I know of).

Of course, the UI is a part of Rust, so these things do matter, but as far as the language implementation is concerned, it’s not as bleak as all that. Rust, being a comparatively complex language (unlike Go, for example, where linguistic simplicity is a feature) is taking a long time to mature, but it is steadily maturing.

While I recall this rumour I thought it was widely discredited. Was there any actual evidence of this?
Edit: the op asked if this could be done with the user knowing (I don't know why the question was removed).

"We might use smartphones with 3D scanning capabilities (like Sony XZ1); or set up a room with a 3D scanner, a few seconds is enough for the scanning (here's an example of a 3D scanning booth).
An easier way is photograph-based, artists craft a thing from its photos. Take the nose of our mask for example, its creation is not complicated at all. "
Exactly. This is definitely not a reason not to buy an iPhone X.
So, fingerprints are not "secure", face recognition is not "secure"... Are passwords/double authentication the only way to keep things private and secure these days? Are there any serious alternative?
The case for Semantic Programming
I assume this was done in Singapore where prices should be a bit cheaper, if you don't have a 3D printer you can always get a service for the 50 USD, and probably give the rest to an art student to make you the nose? :D

Not sure about the "hand-made" skin, but it might just be some white and glossy paint?
Nitpicking the cost of the labor to build this mask misses the point of the article: face id is much less secure than Apple claims.
Zalando checkout proces is broken beyond repair
I had to share this : I am trying to order some clothing from https://Zalando.com ( big in Europe ) and I can't complete the checkout proces. The shipping address form is faulty and is throwing JS errors. Can't continue.

So I call customer support, they are aware of it, the workaround is to go to your profile and add a shipping address there. The issue has been known for a couple of weeks now.

I find it hilarious to find such an error on a website from such a big brandname.
The conventional wisdom on this is that historically, any attempt by airlines to differentiate their economy class product on any dimension other than price has failed. There's always a vocal subset of people complaining, but when push comes to shove, the large majority of customers will pick the flight with the lowest price.

Arguably we will eventually reach some level of service that is so unbelievably crappy that people will be willing to pay more to avoid it, but the success of the low cost carriers suggests to me that we're not there yet.
I re-read the whole thing but cannot find what special processing is all about. Is it molding using clay or something?

Such heavy use of traits can allow you to do things that would otherwise have been impossible or less efficient—there are advantages to it. But they definitely come at a cost.
What other cost are you referring to? The 3D printer? You can send your design to a studio and they'll print it for you and send it, or you can rent time in some places to get access to a printer, without needing to buy one.

In any case, if it needed only a paper print, you wouldn't count the cost of the printer, since you can print it anywhere.
From the context, it pretty sure means how sauces and flavours fit together, not knowing the actual molecules.

Masters of Doom: How Two Guys Created an Empire and Transformed Pop Culture by David Kushner

IPO is good for Uber - not for society though, who will be the ones to capture the losses.

Also, Tesla often is brought up in this competition - usually mentioned between Uber and Lyft and Chinese companies - however Tesla is positioned to dominate here.

How many vehicles could Tesla create AT COST spending the $2B / year that Uber is burning? Where Tesla has a fleet of assets on the road ...

> We used a popular 3D printer. Nose was made by a handmade artist. We use 2D printing for other parts (similar to how we tricked Face Recognition 9 years ago). The skin was also hand-made to trick Apple's AI.

That seems reasonably obscure (:
It's likely part of the exit strategy. They are confident they can get a maybe even a small return on billions of dollars, and Uber likely is hoping it looks like such a big 'positive signal' is a sign that Uber is a solid company to invest in..
A fingerprint is just a really complex password that you leave on everything you touch. Your face is just a really complex password that is written on the front of your head.

It should be self-evident that neither of these is "secure" for some level of "security", but they might be perfectly fine for the level of threat that you face, which is not likely to be particularly high. But I don't know you, so maybe you face a higher-than-average level of threat, in which case, yes, a sufficiently long password/passphrase that you memorise is probably the best option for your mobile device.

5 Simple Ways to Drive Traffic to Your Ecommerce Store
I have been at this eight years. I appear to be the only woman on the leaderboard. I got there shortly after getting myself off the street.

A piece of mine was flagged off the front page in the last couple of hours after two people characterized it as SEO spam because I was talking about the service I worked for while homeless, a service recommended to me by patio11 who then dragged my name through the mud a few months later for repeating his advice on HN. No, no one is vouching for me and saying "she spent nearly six years homeless and was quite open about it. She is the real deal." Whenever I comment on the lack of that kind of support, a thing the respected male members of the community get, I get pissed all over. When I express my opinion that my intractable poverty is partly due to being treated different from the guys on HN, I get pissed on some more.

I have been diplomatic. I have been patient. I have been LNG suffering. I still have to put up with disrespectful snark like your comment here.

As usual, I don't know how I will early this week. As usual, I am failing to do paid work this weekend due to fever. As usual, there is no point in complaining about how hard my life is. It gets me zero sympathy or compassion, even when the callousness I face makes me suicidal. That is the wrong thing to say. It makes other people uncomfortable and a poor person and woman should not do that.

I have a form of cystic fibrosis, as does my oldest son. We are getting well. I get no credit for that. When I talk about it, I get called crazy and a liar. (Pick one: either I am crazy and deluded but believe what I am saying, or I am lying. You can't actually have it both ways.)

So I am kind of at the end of my rope, not because of some stupid discussion on HN, but because of many years of enormous mountains of bullshit that would have broken most other people years ago. In fact, I am literally supposed to be dead from my condition.

But let's go with your theory that I'm just a sissy. The men here are far more comfortable with that idea.
