Thanks for all the tips! Yes I have been reading through the SIP RFC’s haha. Making this for the company I work at so I have a small amount of phones. I may publish a list of the ones the library will support. But I figure, if it gets big enough, other people can help fix the issues between phones. Everything just feels so old school and a pain to configure. It’s worth trying, who knows if I’ll get it to a working state. But I truly think it’ll be way better than anything out there!
were do you work? i have gone on ski trips, summer trips, saunas and strip clubs with my male and female colleagues. nothing weird about the examples mentioned

20 km/h is not casually speeding, it's willfully -- or at least ignorantly -- risky and dangerous driving in most situations. Altho highway and residential streets are certainly different situations.

OK, but it means a billion android devices are vulnerable to various attacks. It would be cool if we could have, idk, backported security fixes for devices that hold tons of critical information?
If by "pinups" you mean centrefolds from mens magazines, it's not appropriate in any work environment without the permission of all involved. When I was 20 years old I simply did not have the courage or understanding that I might have asked them to take the posters down or find something less confronting.
1. Hinton's approach is not based on biology. He's not trying to make something that functions in a way similar to the brain.

2. Most people don't realize how much we already know about the brain. Numenta is one company that has working software based on those principles. We don't fully understand the brain yet but we're not clueless either.

cocos2d-x mobile game engine (www.cocos2d-x.org) might benefit from developers being able to export to it.
Fortran 90 came with matlab syntax for arrays. Slicing, operators work on entire arrays, etc. Much more high level than C, and often faster, but safer and easier: no pointers needed.

Fortran 77 is just a nightmare, like you said. Not many people recommend C++ styles from the 80s either.
Most people are willing to accept the risk that the NSA is listening in on them. Most people are not willing to accept the risk of an arbitrary person being able to steal their identity.
My memory of this was that Google PR thought that humanoid robots might end up leading to associations with automation and job destruction. Also, it was never clear to me how much influence the PR position had vs. other reasons.
Yes, I think it is fairly _realiable_. It reveals whether the candidate can't really write code.

Again, the idea of the coding test in interviews is not to produce production quality code. It is testing that the candidate's brain can write some code. Try to understand that.

Is it a perfect measurement? Of course not.

Also, the idea is to select an algorithm that doesn't require encyclopedic knowledge of different algorithms. Even (any) sorting algorithms may be too complex for this purpose.
My first programming course was in fortran and i got away without using alot of built in loop logic using goto statements.

Now i never use any goto statements ever
The Risc-V ISA is far more modular and extensible. Also we needed the 128 bit support for our NVM storage research and single address space OS work. No MMU, T-ISA based security, VIVT caches. Other govt projects do have ARM licenses, we chose not to go that way for purely technical reasons. Our lab does have academic collaboration with ARM.
It should be pretty obvious to anyone who has ever been to college that the model there isn't exactly one of "efficiency." My first two years were a good time, but if you're a 45-year-old man trying to get skilled as quickly as possible to put food on the table, taking three credits of Shakespeare just seems silly (and I absolutely adore Shakespeare). Not to mention the fact that the notion that you should decide what you want to do for the rest of your life when you're 18 and have never worked or experienced a job market just seems completely insane to me.

The fact of the matter is we're going to need widespread adult re-education, and the current four-years-at-18 model is woefully inadequate for the future that we can all see coming. In fact, the future that's here. Why can't I be prepared for a job in 6 months or one year? Can I take just the part of a college education that helps me be skilled?

IMO the blue collar jobs of the future will be many of the white collar jobs of today. I actually include "coding" in that. Relatively simple programming is something most people can learn to do relatively quickly, provides immediate value, and has rising demand (even the code bootcamps flooding the market still, somehow, leave huge gaps).

My company, Lambda School, (shameless plug, I suppose - YC S17 https://lambdaschool.com) is trying to solve some tiny portion of that by providing a live, online, skills-based education and job placement program that's completely free until you get a job. Soon it will be available entirely after hours. We've literally seen students go from applying at McDonalds to six-figure job offers; not because we're the best teachers in the world, but because they were already smart enough to become that person, they'd just never been given that opportunity, and for very practical reasons four years of college and expensive student loans were out of the question.

But we're still relatively expensive, still at the higher-skill-level-but-more-difficult end, and we can only cover a tiny portion of the market. In the next 10 years I hope there will be a booming industry of college alternatives that can get people placed, so long as they're not crushed by licensing and regulation (neither of which I think are a bad thing in proper amounts).

If you can move people from unemployed or minimum wage to regular living wage, the value created in that movement is enough that you can take a piece and everyone is way better off, and the cost of doing so is orders of magnitude less than college costs now. I really think we're going to enter a golden age of educational innovation, because the current system is broken enough folks are looking elsewhere. I would love to see someone do that at a serious kind of scale for high-paying trades: plumbing, welding, etc.
This is in an environment with multiple people at a long open desk with patients on the other side of the counter. Someone sat down to check something, or check someone in or out, I don't know the details. They hit the Bookmarks button, and right there on the list was a PornHub link to something about a teen and anal sex. This caused a bit of an uproar about inappropriate use of the computer systems, though it may have stayed behind closed doors.

It wouldn't surprise me a bit if the person whose account it was didn't even know that bookmarks exist in Chrome - it's not like Google makes it obvious these days. I suspect there were some awkward discussions at home that evening, or possibly on the phone with college-age children.
I have read about this a little from the user POV, but I have not yet used Authy to build a service which provides 2FA, so I do not understand the details enough to really talk intelligently about the differences.

I do recall reading that Authy uses SHA256 and 7 digit codes instead of SHA1 and 6 digit codes like Google Authenticator (cannot find source). However, the Key URI Format documentation in the Google Authenticator project [1] does have optional support for SHA256 and configurable number of digits, so Google Authenticator could support that too if it wanted to.

The significant downside to click is the slow startup time. Seems to add more than a second to startup in most cases! Still love it though.
> The people being accused of sexual harassment did overtly and obviously abusive things.

They were accused of doing those things, the accusations alone were enough to be career ending, that's the problem. As long as society is fine with vilifying people on accusations alone then the only defense is to not put yourself into a situation where such an accusation can be made.

Well given that afaik nothing has been said publicly, there's not much to discuss, but I doubt that he would have been ousted from DFJ without a reason.

It is of course possible that this is DFJ freaking out and cutting him loose despite his innocence but that is not the most likely explanation.
thats the problem right there though. does the newcommer dictate the culture or adapt to it. if a place is all men and a woman comes in do they need to change their act suddenly? i dont considder that a black and white question.
It's interesting to see how they approach these issues. Like how this article is about a gap in salaried income which is something we're expected to know all about already. There is the wealth gap, which is different. I thought that the differences in peoples salaries are but a mere speck of that issue as most of the top end wealth comes from dividends and inheritance. That would not be an educational issue.
If the company expects to hire any women in the coming years, then it is inappropriate to have pinups on the wall.

Such things probably wouldn't help with investors or potential acquisitions either.
Easy fix: just apply the same rule to men and women.

If you don't do that, then yeah you're a jerk.
Would you feel comfortable if you walked into an office and the walls were covered with semi-tumescent centerfolds from Playgirl (is that still a thing?) or the like?

Heck, maybe the women in the office have a gay erotica reading group that gets together at lunchtime. How would you feel if it was pictures of gay male couples "in flagrante" and more than semi-tumescent?

Might that make you uncomfortable?
Humans don't work by actual risk and rather by perceived risk.
Great, we agree to hire people who are good at their job, and then train them to be effective at communication with others.

I didn't see that in the article. All I saw was a witch hunt.

A witch hunt (aka don't hire them witches) because the witches are disturbing the health of the village.

It's stone-age thinking - I've heard of a story about a brilliant jerk, his name was Jesus Christ.

The irony of a Christian nation calling for excommunication of those most resembling their savior is really something.
Honestly we'd be fine with 1-year degrees for most things.

Google has an incentive to name competitors because they have a monopoly. Which regulators like to observe.

Microsoft did the same when they were investigated.
It has to do with civ. in that with enough civ. a lot more of us have enough food and free time to have a little leisure time. It might be only working 5 or 6 days a week, it might be we survived heavy industrialization into the post period where we clean the air and remove dangerous chemicals from pollution.
Does anyone know how we can use this today?
I often get sympathetic comments for being an Android developer because of this. It's honestly not that bad. Android provides backwards compatible support libraries for whatever SDK you're supporting, and was designed from the beginning to handle diverse screen sizes and hardware.

By far a bigger problem is manufacturers shipping their own version of Android that is sometimes incompatible with the SDK. I've had to implement some ugly hacks for Samsung before, which is unfortunate because of how popular their hardware is. It's becoming less of a problem over time though.
We're talking about the presence of sexualised content. It's not OK in the workplace without consent (I'm not from the U.S. so I really don't care if there is nudity around as long as it's respectful and not contributing to systemic repression). If a new person comes into a workplace and has an issue, then yes - it needs to be discussed. Let's say there are male firemen calendars everywhere - you'd have, as a man, every right to challenge the presence of objectifying material. Feminism goes both ways.

Steve Jurvetson, at the end of this, will still be wealthy and powerful. Even if he is innocent, him losing his job is a small price to pay when balanced against the countless women who are harassed and assaulted every day.

Please read the Scalzi blog post linked above:

"Aside from the actual fact that a woman accusing a man of harassment has her life turned into such a shitshow that the bar for her choosing to tell her story is almost unspeakably high (and therefore not fertile ground for lying), I want you to consider a singular and depressing fact, which is that nearly every woman you know has actual dudes who’ve harassed them. They will go after them, rather than outright lying about you."

I mean, if that's how you look at putting a modicum of effort into social interaction, you've got to question whether you really value relationships with co-workers of the opposite sex at all.
It's exaggerated/false reporting. In 2015 Google was in the process of cleaning up its finances. The sale of Boston Dynamics really came from BD executives and Google execs clashing over the future direction of the company where one party wanted to continue from a more pure R&D direction, while the other wanted a path to revenue/profitability in < 5 years. Not having come to an agreement Google/Alphabet put up BD for sale.
There was also a big internal fight because Google thought the future robots should use wheels, but the engineers at Boston dynamics wanted to keep betting on legs.

An hybrid was made that was awesome [1], but I think that in the end, both companies had a different vision for what they wanted to build.

Reading the summaries posted in this thread, the article describes an economic equilibrium in which a lower per-ride price structure turns into more demand. Within the tested range, the variables are in equilibrium, and higher per-ride prices don't turn into greater driver revenue.

The irony is that the WSJ is effectively (hopefully?) running this same experiment. I don't read non-paywalled WSJ (or Wired etc.) content, because I don't believe in that business model at their price point ($20 / month) but respect their choice to erect barriers to readership [1]. So, the WSJ has effectively chosen to go with a high monthly price, which is the equivalent to Uber's higher per-trip fares. One wonders if the WSJ would make more money with a lower rate plan and a broader audience, either via lower monthly rates or free access for casual readers (with a presumption of later conversion).

[1] I do pay for a few other press subscriptions, but all of them allow some level of across-the-board read-as-you-go trials, which I wholeheartedly agree with, or have a lower absolute cost per month, which I can stomach.
we arent discussing the law here we are discussing ethics/morals and they arent so obious in my world. all guy place isnt jerks jsut becuase they have pinups of women. once they hire a woman it starts to be more relevant but imo depends on the context, industry etc.
I think it looks great! I would pay money for it :)
Yeah we used The Solr real time get handler and a few caching tricks - we updated the cached result set for the client so we didn’t need to request Solr immediately. If I recall the cache had a TTL of about 30 seconds that could be bypassed with a refresh button for super users - intended to shock absorb the system for common queries. Generally it took a second for new data to be queriable. For the writes to Solr we listened for Hibernate events.

It’s been 5 years or so and I don’t think this has changed much with either Elastic or Solr product-wise

Ask HN: T470 vs. T570 Thinkpad for coding
I am looking at a T470 and T570 of identical configuration. Both have 1080p screens, i5-7300U Processor,8gb RAM.

I prefer the 15" screen of T570. The last time I owned a T5x0 series, the keyboard was Ten-Key-Less. So the addition of the new numeric keypad seems bothersome when one has code without having to keep glancing at the keyboard. Is it possible to disable the numeric keypad? Does anyone here have any feedback regarding T570?

Thank you.
Without having to deal with international competition, it’s doubtful the local champions can do much outside of the mainland. It’s like how wechat is the biggest thing inside china, but also missing everywhere abroad outside of the Chinese tourist sector.
> iPhones shove updates down your throats as a user

It doesn't, you don't have to update iOS. You can keep an older version. The same with Android. The only difference is that AppStore won't serve you older app-versions that would still work for your iOS version, after some time. While PlayStore still serves you much older app-versions.
Yeah, just like you don't really want to have more than one company hosting text on the web. Imagine the mess it would be if there were more than one company hosting text on the web! It's a massive perk of the current system that all text that is published on the web is hosted at the web hosting company!

But, quite seriously, I think we have a massive problem on our hands if even people who frequent hacker news just aren't aware of the concepts of standards and interoperability anymore, that a monopoly seems to be perceived as the only way to achieve integration at the user experience level.

Want to have more than one TV channel with a common user interface? Obviously, all TV channels need to be owned by one company!

Want to have more than one appliance with a common electricity supply infrastructure? Obviously, all appliances need to be provided by the one electricity supplier!

Want to have more than one newspaper in the same language and alphabet? Obviously, all newspapers and their common language and alphabet need to be owned by one company!

Want people all around the planet to be able to talk to each other remotely? Obviously, all telephones and telephone networks need to be owned and operated by one company!

I'd really like to understand how this thinking managed to take hold, given that it seems to be so obviously fallacious to me.
I’d rather trust a faceless corporation with a reputation to keep over a bunch of faceless anonymous dudes on a forum.

I mean, the game they play is really hard to fight against. It usually goes something like this:

* Attract western businesses to make investments based on various capital incentives. You are a free market, after all.

* Once they are established and comfortable, start imposing restrictions, stealing IP and undercutting foreign companies. Make life increasingly difficult, except for those companies which you really need to stay in the country (Apple etc).

* Eventually drive out foreign business because some domestic company has stolen the tech, gotten the market share and is willing to play back with the govt

Why play that game? You can't win. Why anyone invests anything other than manufacturing in China is beyond me.

If your entire product can be stolen via a USB drive (source code, proprietary manufacturing processes, IP in general) stay far, far away from Chinese businesses or China. They are playing to win in a very serious way.

I am not Pro-Google or Pro-Chrome by any means, but I think builtin tracking blockers is a bad idea because we'll be destroying the internet's primary model of monetization. At least AdBlock plays nice with Google, Facebook, and other advertisers who are not intrusive and slow down page speed with a million trackers. That being said, I think it's hard to trust any organization whether open or not; It's blind faith. Firefox has attempted browser login through Mozilla before with Persona, Google's not the first to push cloud browser personalization.
