>Video transcription, or the ability to automatically transcribe video audio into text, has been an in-demand feature since we first launched Cloud Video Intelligence. Today, we’re releasing video transcription in private beta.

I wonder what the quality of this service is going to be. If it is anything like Youtube's captioning, I think I would definitely try it out.

Ultimately the same foundations of a globally distributed key/value store. Scylla is the Cassandra is a mashup of BigTable/Dynamo wide-column advanced key/value design allowing for very high scalability and availability, but the data model and querying abilities are not as flexible. Scylla does have variable per-query consistency settings but is primarily eventually consistent. Does support BATCH statements which are atomic updates, but no Lightweight-Transactions yet to read-before-write, but does have counters now. It's not quite feature parity with Cassandra but quickly getting there.

CockroachDB also uses a key/value store but puts a postgres-compatible SQL layer on top, derived from the Google Spanner approach, so you can get (almost) all the querying abilities and data modeling of a relational database. They're slated to have JSON datatypes soon that will make it very compelling as a general purpose, highly reliable datastore for all of your core data in multiple regions.

Sure. Programmers usually group logically-related functions/classes/components into smaller files.

The logic for web "applications" these days can be complicated and involve loading hundreds of such files. If loaded individually, this requires a lot of HTTP requests and results in a slow page load time.

Bundling is similar to a static linker in that it produces a single binary out of all its dependencies. This can be loaded with a single HTTP request, cached, zipped, whatever.
Looking at current management may give you inaccurate data since the competitive environment for new grads has worsened compared to 20 years ago for humanities majors.

Agreed, having mandatory Physics and Chemistry classes seemed wasteful to me. I enjoyed them immensely, and I would have taken them as electives.

Most of my classmates didn’t get much out of them, and would have done better with personal finance classes or other practical classes instead.

For the time being, all but two or three college majors (zoology, social work, sadly enough) are still cost-effective over a lifetime, given the median undergraduate student loan amounts. This gap is closing however.

Interesting :- ) That one should have been in the list too yes. — I'd be worried about Denial-of-Service attacks & moderation. What if the blog gets popular? And "angry people" posts 9999 spammy comments. Even if one deletes them from the blog, they'd sill be in the commit history? (but I want a somewhat clean commit history that is readable to me)

And what if someone illegally post personally-identifiable-info (PII), even if one deletes it, it'd still be in the commit log, which I think would be illegal? Maybe StaticMan could rewrite the Git history to delete flagged & deleted comments (e.g. comments with PII)... But if it does that, the rebased history will cause problems when you try to push your next blog post to the repo.

Maybe if blog comments were in a separate repository whose history could be rewritten, without interfering with the main repo to which one pushes one's new blog comments.

It's already a common approach to pack CSS and some other stuff into the single JS bundle, so it's feasibly and many devs already do that. It should be possible to do with any modern bundler, including Webpack of course.

I concur. Google selectively blocks access for no temporary technical reason to a competitor out of spite or for profit. This is kind of hypocritical if you consider at the same they fight against the net neutrality fiasco (it is a fiasco, yes, among other things). If ISPs get it their way and repeal net neutrality, they will effectively apply the same treatment and reasoning against us, citizens and consumers, and against Google. So I find the timing of this post to be ironic at best. Of course the latter case has greater impact, but Google strides towards that freedom of access violation here.

In a kind of similar tune:
Netflix some time now refuses to run on Firefox on non Windows/Mac OS platforms. They claimed originally DRM issues, which was not the case.

I am not sure if you can bypass the block in this case by altering the application's agent entry (which you can do in the case of netflix).
The argument that xyz can't be the case because it would be arbitraged away is called the "invisible handwave". It should be part of the list of common rhetorical fallacies IMO.

Whether something will be subject to arbitrage is sensible to a ton of factors (barriers to entry, market structure, political environment/incentives, behavioral biases) that if something is to be arbitraged or not is purely an empirical question for any instance of the problem.
So can I dust off my Surface RT that's effectively a paperweight?
It's not the API. It's that too many applications have Admin UI boilerplate interfaces for managing a lot of their content. And too much time is wasted in building those UIs. I know, I've done it.

The way I see this is, it allows you to completely skip building the content management portion of Admin UIs, and present you with pure content as data, so you have full flexibility over how your website layout looks.

If you are willing to give it a shot, there is currently a fork of postgrex from someone in the Elixir community! It handles some of rough edges of the incompatibility. You can find it at https://hexdocs.pm/postgrex_cdb/readme.html and the source code at https://github.com/jumpn/postgrex.

For any other issues you run into when using it, you may want to see the discussion about postgrex compatibility at https://github.com/cockroachdb/cockroach/issues/5582. If you run into different problems please do file the issue :).

I'm also an Elixir junkie, so I would also love to see ORM compatibility here! I definitely want to dedicated time to it if I can. (Disclaimer: I'm currently interning at Cockroach Labs.)

It’s funny because I use JavaScript every day on the front end and often have to write backend in Go.

I honestly don’t think Go does enough to it to make it worth using over something like JavaScript. You still have to write unit tests and integration tests. It’s strongly typed, sure, but it’s type system isn’t robust and doesnt really help you that much, and it just feels.. outdated. Every other line of code is “if err != nil”. Nil pointer exceptions are.. still a thing. Yuck.

Typescript has a far more expressive type system than Go.

> "He guessed that the problem might take him a few weeks. Instead, it took him five years"

No, you should always normalize programmer estimates by increasing both the unit and the measure by one. So "a few weeks", say 4 weeks, will actually take: 5 months! So he still took 12 times longer than the properly normalized estimate! :-)
"Big Business and Human Values" by Theodore Houser.

Pretty amazing take on how to run a business when compared to how we see things happening now. And prophetic in it's critique of how Wall Street and stock holders change the human values of how businesses are run, especially considering the position he held and his comparative and actual counterparts now.

It's a short book and an easy read, but it's very well thought out and articulated and it covers some very important aspects of the responsibilities of big business that seem to be popular to ignore right now.

I highly recommend it.

I think the "fix" GP is suggesting is for HN to add a "blockquote" syntax. i.e., make text like this:

look something like this (sans horizontal scrolling):

| let's pretend it wraps lines

I get that HN doesn't want to be markup-heavy (a sentiment with which I agree), but posters quote things all the time and it's always ugly if line wraps are involved.

> Right, high cost is not mutually exclusive of having thin margins.

Logically yes but what is Apple's benefit besides perhaps supply chain (being able to get components for cheaper because they know they need x million of them)? By that metric, how far behind can Samsung Galaxy line be? Why does Apple command a higher margin than a similarly priced Samsung Galaxy device? (Lets leave Pixel aside because they are likely two orders of magnitude below in terms of units sold)
Backscatter is (I think) when the target server of a spam mail bounces the email back to me, the rightful owner of the domain, typically because the address is not valid (though I sometimes also get out-of-office messages or mailbox full errors).

It works like this: the spammer forges their headers to make it look like the from address is under my domain. My domain has DKIM/SPF set up, so a good recipient will compare the email to the authentication records, see they don't match, and then trash the email. But there are still a lot of mail servers out there that don't have that set up, so they accept the email as valid, process it, then return it to me when the account doesn't exist on their server. Like I said, annoying, but not a lot I can do other than set up rules to trash messages with a subject of "Undelivered Mail Returned to Sender."
Often times researchers train huge models, but don't think about model size (because they don't have to). We've seen ~200MB production models get down to ~4MB and not lose much precision. I'm quite confident we'll continue that trend.
