Beyond Stupid seems a distinct possibility though.
It was a project that was and continues to be promising from a development and utility standpoint, but that has been marred by terrible governance, internal politics, and amateurish management
The way this is written is incredibly cringeworthy.

You're right, it was Trump (according to NBC's reporting of Flynn's prepared testimony).
Yes, this is exactly right. I was astonished the first couple times I rode in a Tesla at how downmarket the interiors feel compared to your middle of the road German luxury cars like a BMW 3-series or equivalent.

They do look great, but they feel cheap.

"The special counsel charged that Flynn lied about not asking then-Russian Ambassador to the U.S. Sergei Kislyak to refrain from escalating the situation in response to sanctions imposed by the Obama administration on December 29, 2016, and saying he did not recall that Kislyak told him Russia would moderate its response as a result." What does this have to do with the elections?

The benefit of CNNs is like the benefits of SVMs -- they generalize all the great old techniques so you don't have to understand them all, you just throw more CPU at the optimization problem.

Our Bootloader Problem– How Secure Boot Is Reshaping OS Loaders
True, but the "rest of the standard library" is somewhat harder to port and last time I played with it (admittedly some years ago) no compilers were good at letting you pick and choose.
It's actually even easy to steal accounts on HN and to make shill accounts on HN too.

Hey guys, just FYI, don't make sexual analogies between you and technologies in blog posts like this. It's super creepy! Edit: The breakup analogy, while stupid, isn't that creepy, but personifying technologies as sexual relationships sure is.

Top audiobooks for Startup Founders
But German is not a romance language and neither is English. Theoretically, as an english speaker, it should be easier to learn German than French or Spanish (But is not).
It's unclear.

"Presidents do have broad — but not unlimited — pardoning power."

"The framers of the Constitution put the presidential pardoning power into the founding document in order to correct unjust prosecutions or convictions — both of which had occurred frequently in England.

At the Constitutional Convention, there was a proposal to exempt treason from the president's pardoning power — the notion being that if a president conspired with subordinates to commit treason, he should not be able to protect himself by pardoning fellow conspirators." [1]

I had a lyft ride in one last weekend and chatted with the driver about it. I agree it looks nice. The interior was great and the ride was comfy. The driver was very enthusiastic about how much he loved the car. Plug it in over night, drive to SF and do lyft all day, then drive home. He didn't share my concerns over the range at all.
As a last ditch resort, I wouldn't put it past Trump to start a War with North Korea to distract the nation from the investigation that is quickly closing in on him.
> according to a confidant, is prepared to testify that Donald Trump directed him to make contact with the Russians, initially as a way to work together to fight ISIS in Syria.

Can someone clarify why this is bad (working with Russia to fight ISIS), to someone who is very out of the loop on the whole issue?

Seriously, why is this bad for Trump? I understand Flynn is guilty of lying, and will likely see jail time for it, but that’s a separate issue. The above quote seems to describe what presidents are ordinarily supposed to do — work with other global powers to cooperate towards shared interests (like destroying ISIS).

Tinfoil Security | Security and Software Engineer | Mountain View, CA, United States | ONSITE, Full-time | https://www.tinfoilsecurity.com/jobs

We provide companies of all sizes with security tools that can be used by their developers and DevOps teams. Our goal is to reduce the time it takes to find and fix vulnerabilities and make it a part of the building process.

We hook security into CI and testing frameworks and have security tests run alongside unit, regression, and integration tests. Using the same techniques as malicious hackers, we systematically test all the access points. As we find vulnerabilities we’ll stick them right back in front of developers, either in a simple checklist format or by integrating into their issue tracker of choice, instantly notifying developers when there's a threat and giving step-by-step instructions, tailored to their software stack, to eliminate it.

We're working to make the internet a more secure place. This means building things that have never been built before: you'll need to quickly learn new concepts and apply them to your work. We value speed, but we value stability more.

You'll be in charge of large projects, in many different domains. This might involve anything from distributed systems to static analysis or information architecture.

Our software stack is primarily Elixir, Ruby, and Go, but we're advocates of choosing the best tool for the job. If something like Elm is going to help you solve a problem more effectively then we want you to convince us of that.

Qualifications

* A drive to learn and push your limits
* An interest in security and an appreciation for privacy
* Passion. We don't care in what, but we want you to make us excited about something you care about
* A pride in your work. We treat our work as a craft, and aren't done with a new feature until we're proud of it
Your laptop may be trusted, your browser isn't.
> I'd buy a self driving car that just doesn't work in bad conditions.

Same here. I live in the midwest and our two-car family always owns at least one 4x4/AWD vehicle for the winter. The other is usually optimized for MPG/reliability (things that go down when you start adding heavy parts - like the kind needed for AWD).
Feel very free to ask questions about the dapp challenge or about iExec. https://iex.ec
I really liked how Icon handles function success/failure separately from return values. It seems very close to Go's error handling conventions, but with a little more magic. Wikipedia gives the following Icon example code:

if a := read() then write(a)

which would translate into something like the following Go code:

a, err := read()
if err == nil {
write(a)
}
Supposedly that would lead to Congress taking action (finally).

That's an easy but lazy reduction, and not accurate.

- They raised from the public

- Founder comp tied to release of a product that works

- They are focused on making a product that works, not on optical theatrics (in fact one of their biggest weaknesses is they've been horrible at optics)
TLDR:

* Angular has too many breaking changes
* Not a fan of TypeScript
* Switching to React
* Enjoys writing cringey posts...

What is the battery life difference you mention? The lack of external servers or do you mean because it'll have linux on it now?
I don't see this as being too terrible. Hopefully it causes companies to focus more on selling things to customers, instead of just "growth hacking" to get more users that don't actually contribute to the bottom line.
You can write Angular 2+ in ES6 (but there are no docs for pure JS). Angular 4 is completely backwards compatible with 2. I upgraded multiple applications at work without changing code. It doesn't seem like the author used Angular 2+ in production much. It just sounds like he was sick of the Angular ecosystem/releases and was ready to move on
Yes. That has its own serious fallout, both in terms of prompting a deeper investigation and drawing an intense spotlight, and blowback with voters.

Voters are actually paying some attention. They will toss the Republicans out of power. That has happened routinely in the last ~70 years to both sides when they cross various lines or the stench gets too great.

> [`but` is] an infix operator that first clones the object on the left hand side and then mixes in a role provided on the right hand side into the clone.

Yeah, thanks. I always wanted an operator that did that.

I wonder why Perl 6 hasn't caught on?
Synergy stopped working for me one day, and it seems all machines have to use the same version. And they pivoted from free to charging for money.

I guess Logitech is doing the same thing, but if they actually implemented it by unpairing the input devices from one receiver and pairing it to the other, that would be cool, it means I can turn off the unpaired computer, and input still works on the paired machine.
Eh? "I'm moving from angular to react because of jsx"? Am I missing something here between the sexual analogies?
> So if they were to let the training go on for too long the network will produce an exact copy of the distorted input image.

It won't. The objective (min (E(x, x0) + R(x)) they are trying to optimize (over output images x) amounts to a combination of:

- The output image x should "look like" the input image x0, this is the error term E(x, x0);

- The output image x should be "regular", this is the regularization term R(x).

The latter term prevents overfitting: R should be chosen such that noisy images for example are considered irregular (high R(x)).
