Actually Katakana derived from Kanji, but were typically only used for their sound rather than their meaning and a very very simplified version of how you would write the character quickly allowing for lifting the brush (Hiragana is the simplified version quickly without lifting the brush) roughly speaking; so you are mostly right but not completely.

シ comes from the Chinese character 之, meaning either "of" or "this"

ツ comes from the Chinese character 州 (although some researchers disagree), meaning "state" or "province"

ソ comes from the Chinese character 會, meaning "meet", "party", or "interview"

ン comes from the Chinese character 尓 (again not clear), meaning "you" or "that"

This divergence happened because Chinese characters were used to write Japanese which is mostly from a different language family. Some Chinese characters were used by some for their meaning (ideogram) and used by others for the sound they made to approximate the sounds used in Japanese. Obviously Chinese influenced the Japanese language (for example numbers in Japanese sound similar to numbers in middle ages colloquial Hokkien). Over the last 1,000 years or so there have been numerous occasions for changes, standardisation and simplification. So even to those who study these changes over time it can sometimes be unclear.
Symantec presently give you the option to redact the labels on precertificates.

I think they are the only ones because RFC 6962 does not actually support redaction.

Symantec say they are only submitting these entries to the deneb.ws.symantec.com CT log, but it is possible to cross-post redacted log entries to other CT logs, which actually is happening and is kind of annoying.

You can see an example of a redaction (for nsw.gov.au) here: https://crt.sh/?id=49265178

I think the best way to protect your privacy currently is to purchase wildcards, though LE will support wildcards next year :) !

Kind of related, I also wrote https://ausdomainledger.net/ a couple of weeks ago that is crawling CT logs and Common Crawl as well to enumerate domains in the .au zone, because the zone file is not accessible for the ccTLD.
If the EU wants to subsidize US satellite companies by paying part of the launch cost (which is what you are accusing them of) I don't see why the US should consider that a negative, let alone sabotage them.

I was stunned to find that no article has ever been submitted to HN with 'Han unification' in the title[0].

You stated that Andrej Karpathy ignores the history of neural networks and posits a misleading picture. While you gave a very brief history of Neural Networks, you failed (imo, BIG TIME) to make a point.

First, you really should look into what Mr. Karpathy has done. Second, none of these "old" algorithms were useful in the 40's and 50' because there was no internet and very little data. They are only becoming useful now due to the explosion of data. So, it stands to reason that it Mr. Karpathy isn't ignoring history out of malice, he is ignoring it because it doesn't fucking matter... at all.

I'm always glad when someone calls and I always call people instead of typing down thoughts. Even better than calling is meeting someone IRL, but of course that's not always feasible. Then I usually begin by telling him or her how grateful I am that somebody is choosing the direct way over some form of texting and there are, sadly, far too many. Like your dad, I wouldn't buy anything not specially designed for transmitting voice in an analogue fashion. Too few options there, recently... Most of the people I communicate with are aware of this, thank goodness, but it's always hard to tell new acquaintances that I don't use Viber, Whatsapp, Facebook and even reluctant to use SMS.
I think that if each site funded it's own social delivery, there would be no single "social publishing platform" to monetize. It would be a matter of just the publishers monetizing themselves, and the social platform would be the web.

And that's the promise of Mastodon. It is free because each instance pays the cost of keeping it alive in the form of hosting their instance. Like, right now, the NYTimes acts like a "database" with all the pages, and reddit or twitter like the content distribution feed, and both need funding. But if the NYTimes had its own Mastodon instance and published there, the rest of the Mastodon network would be its content distribution feed, each federation funding itself.

As a sidetone, it even solves the problem of verification I think, because if I have the Mastodon account aylmao@nytimes.com for example, I don't need a central system to confirm that I'm working for the nytimes, like for example twitter would.

And moreover, since Mastodon is just Atom, if people want to just see feed updates they can do that, or they can get a client that supports the full social features too. I think it's pretty cool.
I definitely can relate.

I still don't get why people would prefer phone over texts or emails. The main thing I miss is a copy and paste!
Oh, I don't mean a database frontend that can handle both OLTP and OLAP workloads, usually by having some kind of OLAP column-store and some kind of OLTP main memory row-store. I know there's a lot of those (not only HANA, but also MemSQL, SQL Server, etc.)

The fun thing to try and imagine here is having literally the same physical data format that works for both kinds of workloads.
I came into existence quite a bit after that film did, but I just watched it for the first time two weeks ago and the phone going unanswered definitely made me quite uncomfortable. Excellent film.
I would create an extension to the snap ecosystem, which would be called "snap graffiti". Snap graffiti would allow you to attach a geographic location to a picture. These pictures could be anything, and anyone could see the pictures by being near the location. They would only hang on to the location for a certain amount of time. This in and of itself is not a business plan. But I would then allow these pictures to be connected to economic activity. For example, I have a bunch of iron pipes in my garden which could be taken to the waste disposal arena. Any teenager could do this for me just by carying away the metal. I would be able to "snap graffiti" the pile of metal in my garden, and tag it with $5. A bored teen could then knock on my door and carry away the metal. They would get $4.50 and snap-chat would take a small service fee.
Ask HN: Does anyone know how AliExpress free shipping works?
They seem to have free international shipping on items less than $1. I don't know of any shipping method, even in bulk that can deliver item to my door from China for sub $1.

I found this article: https://romain.goyet.com/articles/free_shipping_from_china/ that raises the same concerns. Wondering if anyone can paint some light on this ?
Weird, it seems to be locked at 60 FPS (with 361k particles) for me. (Firefox Nightly on MacBook Pro 13.)
Ah, thanks! Yeah, currently I'm just waiting for LE's wildcard support, but then it hit me there might be others who don't even submit the 2nd-level domain to CT, which I'd prefer if possible.
I've been running a Mastodon instance and kicking around ideas for enhancements. "Let users subscribe to RSS/Atom feeds" is quickly feeling like the one that would be most useful; I really miss the days of Livejournal when I could subscribe to the updates of my friends on LJ, and have stuff from the RSS/Atom feeds of other sites mixed in between them.

In chronological order, of course.

Mastodon is built on top of OStatus and ActivityPub, which are inspired by RSS' successor Atom, but sadly I don't think either is compatible, so I'm gonna be cramming an RSS/Atom library in there. Ah well. It's not like Mastodon doesn't already have a dependency tree as long as your arm.
Snap is extremely valuable, it has the customers everyone wants - it simply doesn't know how to monetize them. Give it time, if someone like me can figure out how to monetize this user base, I am sure, snap can, in time.
This is very cool it runs on my phone. I can't interface very much with it but it runs.

It's only a matter of time before a good photo editor or digital paint application is ported to the web. Then it's just a matter of making a user interface that is configurable by CSS.

My experience with RSS predates Google Reader by a couple of years, i think i started using it around 2003, ish? I didn't start using Google Reader until (IIRC) 2009 so my interest in the social element was absolutely zero. RSS was designed to be a consumption means only, which is my point. I'm fine with aggregators adding a social element, as it's not the aim and can easily ignored (Feedly even has this i think). I'm even fine with sources having only the title and the first paragraph as i can choose to ignore the content if it doesn't interest me.

My point is more that, if there's going to be curation of content i want to do that myself because there isn't an algorithm that exists that can do it well for me[1]. And if your content is posted exclusively to the various social networks that try and fail
to curate content for me (i.e. you don't have your own site outside of the walled gardens) then i probably have little interest in it.

[1] This is part of a wider problem in that people want to follow hundreds (thousands?) of sources, and that quickly becomes a deluge. In the same vein, people favourite just about every image they see on Instagram - to paraphrase, "if you favourite everything, then nothing is your favourite". Self restraint is the best form of curation against a world in which everyone is screaming to be heard over everyone else.

I have an after-hours pager about once a year or so, and each time I get the same sense of low-grade trepidation at night. Sleep quality also suffers tremendously, I'm always wide awake at the lightest disturbance. It's terrible, and I always feel for anyone who has to be on call at night with regularity.
Lots of companies have live chat already, often there are certain things they won’t let you do on live chat because of the perception that it is less secure.

Big companies seem even less like likely to have an email address where you can get service.

The companies can keep their phone line. It’s just better for customers and likely cheaper for them to provide other options.

"It turns out that a large portion of real-world problems have the property that it is significantly easier to collect the data than to explicitly write the program."

Historically alphabet based phonetic descriptive written languages are a recent invention.
To be fair, most historical buildings of that age would be listed[0]. However there are plenty of buildings from 100 - 200 years ago that are not listed. For example, the last remaining building of a historic factory in the village where I grew up was refused listed status, it has since been distroyed by fire in a convenient 'accident'.

Most businesses don't (and shouldn't) care about software for software's sake. But they do care about their software delivering value, and product and sales teams are very aware of the value that good software provides - and the costs of bad software - since they're the ones who have to drop feature ideas or turn away clients.

Ironically, I've found that selling good software engineering practices to engineers can be much harder than selling it to other teams. Good software also doesn't take longer to get to market - I think on anything but the shortest of terms, building high quality software pays off immensely. You're saying two contradictory things here: that we can "design it so well that it will never fail, and it will scale effortlessly, and it will be easy to add new features indefinitely" but also that it takes 3-4 times longer to bring to market. If I can effortlessly build features, why do they take longer to get to market? I think a lot of software engineers believe that there is a trade-off between quality and efficiency, but I think that's the opposite of the truth: if you trade off quality, you are trading off long-term efficiency as well. Likewise an investment in quality is an investment in efficiency.

Why is that everybody talks about H1B abuse when it involves bringing Indians from India by companies like Infosys, TCS etc, but nobody mentions about how students from India come to study in US, join fake consultancies and get fake experiences and resumes? These students are more eager to get a visa sponsor and they will be willing to settle for a lower salary. I have seen so many such cases. If they loose a job, there are consultancies who will keep them in payroll in exchange for money while they look for another job (otherwise you have to leave US immediately). And some of the companies I know actually prefer hiring those than bringing people from India because they are already in US and can work for 1-2 years in OPT while the company can take its time to file h1b as opposed to wait hoping to get the lottery.

This is spot on. I've been vegetarian for a long time. I have seen a drastic change in the availability of vegetarian options at restaurants and grocery stores. It makes it easier for someone who isn't vegetarian to choose to have a vegetarian meal.

All the people that bought the original Tesla Roadster paved the way for the Model 3. The people that originally created a market for energy efficient bulbs enabled economies of scale to allow those bulbs to become mainstream.

I wouldn't diminish the role of early adopters in shaping culture and the economy.
What's more, it is hilarious how this was shown as an example of the videos targeting kids. As a native spanish speaker, it seems overhwelmingly obvious to me that this is just a standard parody animation targeted for teens and young adults.

Right. In the meantime, while working folks could keep their investments intact and have them grow back to pre-crash levels or higher, retired folks needed money to live on and were forced to remove some of their nest egg at the bottom. It takes much longer to recover in that situation.
What happens when you come down with an illness that leaves you with a $15,000 medical bill and a month out of work (so you probably lose your job)? Happens to people all the time.

Lazy? Wow.
True, not that it matters, but my parents and my in laws have a decade or two on you... One lives in an area with poor cell service (surrounded by good service). My Dad doesn't carry, and when he does it's a feature phone that is off. Ha.

I've had a similar experience with the spam calls. I don't get quite as many per day, but ~90% of the calls I receive are spam. I just don't answer my phone anymore unless it's my wife, my mom, or one of my brothers. I direct all other calls to voicemail after grumbling about being interrupted.

I haven't found a good solution for auto directing spam calls to voicemail beyond using Do Not Disturb from 8 pm to 7 am.
Fair. But what if users also had they own RSS feed(s)? They'd select the items/articles they want to share and they get broadcast into (one of) those feed(s). Their friends can subscribe, and why not, comments would easily fit into such a feed as well.

Only problem I see is that these users would need a URL for the feed for their friends to subscribe to.

So you'd need an external service (like Google Reader was). How about one of these new(ish) open/decentralized social network thingies? I forget their names, there was one that was sort-of-twitter and another sort-of-facebook. They probably already have RSS built-in with various RSS API endpoints for different filters on the stream. Maybe such an idea could ride along with that?

Also, I want to echo the other comments, how it is nice that RSS just does one thing. Just means it's a building block.
How are remotely monitored sensors and devices, like weather stations and power meters, that need to send a small amount of data periodically, and that use the cellular network for that handled in Europe?

Those fixed price for unlimited calling plans that are great for human to human communication would suck for low data sensors and devices.

In the US these are handled by special plans that have zero or close to zero fixed monthly cost, but have a high per byte or per minute rate so that they are quite cheap for their intended use (e.g., power meter daily usage report) but are too expensive to use for high data applications.

If there are similar things in Europe, maybe that number was one of those?

That's her thing. She has made a living consulting on animal behaviour for the design of animal handling processes such as slaughterhouses. She was good at it and people valued her insight into small details that would bother the animals. She also writes about her experience being autistic and her ideas about cognition from her unusual perspective.

I have met her and had a chance to chat, have lunch, etc, and hear her give a technical talk on designing animal handling systems. She's very smart, competent and confident. Her autism makes her quite a strange person to hang out with. Her overly bold statements and confidence could be part of that, but it's not so unusual for professors, writers and similar types to behave that way.

But she honestly believes she is missing some of the particular human stuff, while still being very bright, and thus has unusual intuition into non-human animal cognition. It's hard to provide evidence for this, of course.

In summary: not trite at all, but indeed a bold, interesting and controversial claim.

(Edit, caveat: I last met her 19 years ago and have not kept up with her work since)
Non-incremental advances require a lot of wasted-path R&D. If any of Intel's projects creates a generational leap, it will pay off handsomely.

It's not clear if doing this in-house, or closely monitoring the state of the art and then buying a company that develops a winner, is superior.

Indeed, the mythical "good meeting". I swear I've seen it firsthand, but nobody believes me.
If you want a simple answer, consolidate by rolling all your legacy 401k accounts into a robo-advisor that handles traditional IRA accounts (ie 401k).

A robo-advisor is a tech company in the financial space. They provide one-size-fits-all opinionated investment strategy (ie they do not let you pick individual stocks etc, you respect their overall portfolio strategy) that is not actively managed (ie they buy "the market" instead of individual stocks). As a result you will be diversified and you pay extremely low fees (many company 401k plan funds have horrible fees that completely take advantage of you).

Personally, I use betterment (https://www.betterment.com/). I approve of their investment portfolio strategy (https://www.betterment.com/portfolio/) and their fees are significantly below the fund choices I have in my company's 401k, so it is a good fit for me.

The one decision betterment does allow you to make (again the goal is simplicity), is your stock/bond allocation. Allocation strategy is a bit outside of the scope of this response, but to keep things simple I'll say anything from 70% stocks/30% bonds to 80/20 stocks/bonds is probably fine.

If you have further questions, or want a more "complicated" answer, feel free to email me directly (check my profile page). I'm an engineer, not a financial adviser, but I've been actively interested in personal finance for a long time now.
