> opposing the anti-science views of Trump and his administration

> I'm not sure this reaction is particularly extreme or uncalled for

But opposition can easily veer into defining, and then rigorously defending, a 'pro-scientific' dogma that actually ends up opposing new, legitimate research.

As a complete hypothetical, what if an esteemed climate scientist discovers evidence that global temperature increase estimates actually are too high by, say, a factor of 2? Will people take that evidence seriously, or write it off as 'climate change denial'?
I cry at this scene, every time. I start to cry thinking about it.

From the wiki, which contextualizes what I was told by my parents (who were young adults in London during the war)

Much of the emotional impact of the film has been attributed to the large proportion of European exiles and refugees who were extras or played minor roles (in addition to leading actors Paul Henreid, Conrad Veidt and Peter Lorre): such as Louis V. Arco, Trude Berliner, Ilka Grünig, Lotte Palfi, Richard Ryen, Ludwig Stössel, Hans Twardowski, and Wolfgang Zilzer. A witness to the filming of the "duel of the anthems" sequence said he saw many of the actors crying and "realized that they were all real refugees".[25] Harmetz argues that they "brought to a dozen small roles in Casablanca an understanding and a desperation that could never have come from Central Casting".[26] They were frequently cast as Nazis in war films, even though many were Jewish.

The FM web client loads messages faster, but is slower to use in my experience. I’d rather pay a one-time loading cost up front for an app experience that feels native-ish and snappy like Gmail vs having the app feel laggy when I do mainline use cases like send email or compose a reply.

Re threading I’ve had email for 25 years now and def. feel Gmail’s approach is superior, if only because you don’t have to scroll so freaking much!
It matters if there's no way to have a flag without a default. If your flag doesn't have a clear "user didn't supply anything" default it can be annoying
Headless CMS in this context means it's just the CMS backend (the tail) and not a frontend (the head). The raw content is rendered to a FE view by something else.

Do you have any resources that expand on the IPv6 support in Azure?

Alas no. When I looked at k8s/Azure the IPv6 support was new.

My comment about IPv6 'baked into the DNA' of Microsoft is about Microsoft not Azure -A lot of the work on privacy addresses, the deployment of Teredo, adoption of ULA addresses, comes from people inside Microsoft, And they have been presenting recently at NANOG and IETF on IPv6 only deployments in the Redmond campus.

Isn't that equivalent to emulating it? Like emulators for video game systems that have both an interpreter and a JIT recompiler, the latter is just an optimization of the former. They both must interpret the instruction set of the target and run equivalent instructions on the host.
I can't help but think that a hybrid cloud/on premise solution would be cheaper in the long run for them. The millions of dollars that they pour into AWS, it seems like they could colocate/contract out some heavy on-premise hardware for standard load and then offload peak load to spot instances.

All companies make both good and bad decisions. They don't fall apart when they make a single bad decision. They fall apart when he sum total of the impact of their bad decisions outweighs the sum total of the impact of their good decisions.

When this happens, the last bad decision usually takes the blame, however it is rarely the true cause.

Te main flaw with DNN used in Photoshop-like apps is the speed; one would need 1000x faster GPU to make changes realtime as artists are used to now, instead of waiting a month for a single step to finish. Some trivial algorithms can be done fast already but most of them are way ahead of what current tech can deliver fast.
I do not see how compulsory nature of the expense matters in this particular case. You need to eat to live - should food expenses be deducted? What if you're sick and need to pay for medicine - should that be deducted? You need to be clothed to go on the street - should clothing expenses be deducted? You can find argument for many of those, but ultimately the decision is arbitrary based on preferred policy by state. If the state police would favor improving the clothing situation of the population - you may very well get clothes deduction. Depending on what the government wants to promote or suppress, you may get various policy deductions.
Good morning. I'm going to be here to answer specific questions, and I owe you a personal response to this as well, which I'm about to start working on!

There is no doubt that in this specific case our human factor screwed up, and I'm really sorry about that.

First I'm going to post the standard response that our team has written for any new support tickets that come in about this today, then write my own personal apology and response here.

Thanks for getting in touch with us about the report on Hacker News about our security procedures.

As we say in our recent post about security at https://blog.fastmail.com/2017/12/05/the-fastmail-security-m..., security is a process, not a checkbox. We do our best to be continually improving and upgrading our security procedures, and offering our security-minded customers the most robust, industry-standard options possible.

However, we have been less diligent about forcing older accounts to upgrade their security settings. With a range of possible security option states, customer support is occasionally placed in a position to make a judgement call. As the post indicates, the incident in question happened immediately after a major round of security changes. There’s no way around it; someone made an exception they shouldn't have.

Social engineering is always one of our biggest concerns. As any number of well-known break-ins have demonstrated, the "best" security hack is often to sidestep it. Since that incident, we have taken substantially more aggressive steps to close off avenues of attack and human review. We are constantly trying to narrow the number of accounts that even can go to a human for review, and for those that must go to a human to provide as much notice as possible to the account owner before possibly allowing the attacker to have access. For instance, some cases take 24 hours before the reset password goes into effect. If you are a legitimate account owner, this has the often frustrating side effect of locking you out of your account for 24 hours. But, if you have been attacked, this gives you the opportunity to keep the attacker out.

Thank you for sharing your concern with us, and I hope we’ve addressed yours.
That is illegal.

> On the cost of some repetition here and there, it makes programs look very explicit, which helps readers to understand the code better, instead of wondering: can the exception be thrown here or not?

I don't get this. In practice, most functions end up having an error result by convention, so the answer to "can the exception be thrown here" is always "maybe", which is the same as the answer would be to any function call in a language with exceptions...

Back in 2006, I studied Prolong in my college as a pre-up course for A.I. From my experience then, Prolog was easy for programming small tasks. I ended up building a card game with some intelligence as a final project. Even then, I spent most of the time designing cards to show up in console than time on actual coding for game play/intelligence.

It could be fun to retry Prolog now.
Reputational risk from BTC being tied to Tether?
From 10 years dealing with different type businesses doing Paypal... they will approve you by default and unless you selling something from their prohibited items list, they will only care about dispute/chargeback levels. If you behave yourself they wouldn't care and I'm having hard times imagining people trading virtual gifts, such as in-game skins, to trigger lots of disputes, because that would eventually ban their PP account rendering them unable to purchase more in the future.
It could be misleading to look at volume. For example how much of that $6.8B is due to wash trading? Also Bitcoin is paired with literally hundreds of altcoins, which make up a portion of that volume. We would want to focus on how much BTC is purchased with USD vs how much is purchased with USDT.
I really hate the "why would anyone want this?!?" argument as well. I am not quadriplegic, but I absolutely want the functionality it provides.

That being said: No fucking way am I putting a closed-source, black-box, always-listening device in my house. A lot of the current home-automation concepts are amazing, but we keep implementing them in the shittiest way possible.

We really need better open, secure, upgradeable, hackable, adjustable systems for it to really take off.

yes. we jumped ship from self-deployed kubes on Linode, to Google Cloud once they provided an external V6 face in the LB. the v6 story in google is complicated. (we jumped to google because the integration of their tools and kubectl was too good to ignore. Most things just work. Alas ipv6 inside the pod ecosystem is not one of them yet)

I say this not to belittle you or to minimize your feelings or experience, but you have to understand that, among the general population, your needs/wants here are in a very tiny minority. The number of people who do what you do is vanishingly small. The vast majority of people do not care, and those who do will often make a conscious decision that the trade-off is worth it. And that's ok! As long as you can continue to take care of your needs, and other people can take care of theirs, then all is well.
Maybe it should be a problem for both the banks and the government. The banks have undoubtedly mixed in the student loans with the rest of their portfolios which back the returns of numerous investment and retirement accounts held by US citizens.

Nope, at least not in the short term. In the short term, house price is locked for the current owner, and usually by their payments to the mortgage holder. If the expenses rise, so do the prices. And since this will happen on the whole market, the price rise would not be substantially constrained by the competition.

On the long term, this could depress the housing market and thus lead to lower prices. That would depend on the overall market state - in markets with housing shortage that probably won't happen anyway.

Author of deeplearn.js here. A quick summary:

We store NDArrays as floating point WebGLTextures (in rgba channels). Mathematical operations are defined as fragment shaders that operate on WebGLTextures and produce new WebGLTextures.

The fragment shaders we write operate in the context of a single output value of our result NDArray, which gets parallelized by the WebGL stack. This is how we get the performance that we do.
> You need to eat to live - should food expenses be deducted?

Reasonably necessary ones should be, or a value to cover them rolled into blanket deduction everyone gets, sure.

> You need to eat to live - should food expenses be deducted?

That's why there is a medical costs deduction. (It only cuts in at costs above 10% of AGI, which is a bit wonky, though.)

> You need to be clothed to go on the street - should clothing expenses be deducted?

Same answer as for food.
This is actually even worse than the future Stallman predicted, where our books would be blocked at the whim of the copyright holder. At least then you could sort of understand the rationale: the idea that the rightsholders should get to decide how you consume the content is intuitive, if ultimately false.

But now we cant watch stuff just because the megacorporations are fighting and we are collateral damage. They don't even care about the specific content, it's all about platform dominance. Corporate information proxy wars were cool in cyberpunk novels but really suck in reality :(

Do know of any resources that explain Net Neutrality in a non-partisan, clear, concise manner?

My dad is under the impression that Net Neutrality is bad because "the government has no business with the Internet." I'd like to provide him with some good information to try to sway his mind, but most simple explanations I can find are comedic in nature (John Oliver, The Oatmeal webcomic), or are from a "liberal source." Any help on swaying someone for this issue would be greatly appreciated.
> With the same logic, every expense should be deducted.

That's essentially how business taxes work, so why not?
It helps with both, but is more dramatic for reads.

Reads go from 1 RTT to 0 RTTs, while writes go from 2 RTTs to 1 RTT. For example, consider a cluster in which the nodes are 200ms RTT away from each other.

* A read will take 200ms if the leaseholder isn't in the local datacenter vs single-digit milliseconds if it is local.

* A write will take 400ms if the leaseholder isn't in the local datacenter vs 200 milliseconds if it is local.

The write takes 400ms because it takes 100ms to get from the local datacenter to leaseholder, 200ms to reach consensus (the leaseholder needs to send a request to and get a response from one of the followers), and another 100ms for the response from the leaseholder to get back to the local datacenter where the request originated.
Yes, but how much state tax deduction figures in that choice? I wouldn't say it's a lot. Presence and absence of state income tax - maybe, but presence of deduction - not very likely. And of course, if the state wanted to compete on that metric, they could easily lower the taxes, but I haven't seen many high-tax ones to be willing to.
I would also recommend Synaptic.js http://caza.la/synaptic/ It's easy to get started with, very good for learning the basics of NNs very quickly.
Agreed this absolutely sucks.

Amazon fired the first shots tho. This is their fault and they should put Google products back up on their store.
I'll third the praise for Roku.

The only annoyance is that they put ads on the homescreen, (but that can be blocked at the network level), and that different apps tend to have slightly different/inconsistent UXs, for example pressing "up" while watching Netflix will show you the timeline without pausing, but doing the same in HBO Now will take you back out to the show info page.

The dedicated remotes are nice, though sometimes oddly slow to "wake up". Some models even have headphone jacks on the remote, which can be really handy.

All the versions can be controlled through a really nice Android app, which lets you directly enter text rather than pecking around in a grid keyboard, and also lets you forward audio to your phone/headset instead of the speakers or remote.
