Why not just use virtual machines to sub out the RPis? Without the curriculum, it's not clear what they're trying to teach here. Assembly? Networking? Administration of the RPis?
> VB is a great language for newbs and casual/adhoc programmers

Is it, though? For example, VB puts four different ways of passing arguments right in your face: values by reference, values by value, object references by reference and objects references by value. Python only has the last one and doesn't make you think about it.

And without "Option Explicit" VB does something very unhelpful (also seen in PHP): misspelled variables are created on read and silently converted to the required type, giving you nonsense results. (With "Option Explicit" enabled it gets verbose and tedious instead.)
The Reckoning: Women and Power in the Workplace
Care to clarify what do you mean by "Ideally in a society we don't want those people anyways."? Everything happens around you and me are politics. Do you really think a 1984-like PRC is best of the citizen there. I don't think so.
This title should be changed to "Smudge Synthesis". Move along nothing to see here. Actually the dataset of 600k logos is probably interesting. I bet someone who had some time could do a hugely better job.

FCC Chairman Ajit Pai Explains Net Neutrality
So, a virus-based cyber attack on the computer system of a Saudi Arabian industrial operation, supposedly by Iran.

If "watershed" mean fundamentally new, this isn't a watershed event since this event was proceed by the Stuxnet attack on Iran, by many accounted committed by the US and Israel.

Still, it seems to reinforce the general situation that the gloves are off between nation states, every cyber avenue of attack that can be pursued, will be pursued - a war of all against all. Since not only are cyber attacks cheap, they offer endless plausible deniability.
Don't people here use the 'block newsfeed' extensions?

I think that's a nice middle ground to be on. I can still participate in groups that I'm a member of, can still chat with friends, while not have the awfulness that is the newsfeed shoved down my mind.
Yes, it's not hacker skills but thank you for the hacker culture.
One of the two parties thinks my gay and trans friends should have human rights, and the other party has fought tooth and nail against it, so "they're exactly the same" is bullshit for that alone. The Democrats aren't nearly good enough, but they're by far the lesser of two evils.
I missed the part where it said the win percentages are relative to black winning (as opposed the the currently playing side), and thought alphago was saying the best response to black opening with both 4-4 and 4-3 was tengen...
That's a strongly pessimistic view you got here. Are you aware that there's people thinking the opposite of you? The thing is: the reality is always far more balanced that what the extremists are preaching us.
"many people would have resigned" is unfalsifiable, but if you mean the six Mozilla Foundation employees who tweeted on day 2 that I should resign, those people never worked for me. For whatever reason they almost all resigned for other jobs within a year of my leaving, anyway. I hope you weren't thinking of them when making the "would have resigned" imponderable claim.
So what you are saying is that the republican party in its current form is unvotable. I agree. Even people holding dear republican aligned beliefs should take note and realize that the party is not able to act aligned with their own interest.

I guess partisanship might simply be a huge problem because democrats can‘t recognize republicans as republicans any more - still because there are only 2 relevant parties - republicans don‘t see an alternative to the GOP and still go for the „in theory better aligned“ party. That should give any American pause to think and highlight the importance of choice when it comes to politics. Why not create a new republican party?
> it is more than a little aggravating to see us as a community winding ourselves in knots over market-based regulation of telecom at the same time as the (largely unprincipled) Republican congress is putting the finishing strokes --- literally in ball-point pen --- on a catastrophically stupid tax bill that threatens universal access to health insurance, not just for those dependent on Medicare but on startup founders as well.

Yeah. It was nice to see people coming together to fight for net neutrality, but it would have been nicer to see some of that energy and excitement used to fight something that will actually kill people.
I'd say what Python does is passing object references by value.
>it references a possible destruction of humanity?

imagine a guy who has a gun in a drawer at home and who smokes 2 packs a day. What is going to kill him with pretty high probability? The same way the humanity is with nuclear weapons and climate change.
We need an AI-driven adblocker that can recognize ads at the beginning of a video and skip them.
> It helps explain why a person who has never programmed will pick up APL/J/K easier than someone who already knows Python or C.

I disagree with this.

It is probably easier to teach someone APL/J/K if they don't think they already know Python or C, but, an experienced C+K programmer will be able to teach a willing C programmer K very quickly.

Many q/Kdb guides start with simple things like addition and subtraction but with vectors, like a Python programmer really cares about the difference between:

prd 1+til x

and:

numpy.arange(1,1+x).prod()

and heck, that Python programmer probably thinks that looks better or "cleaner". They might argue about whether it should be two steps or an extra parenthesis, or whatever, but the relationship between capability and semantic appears roughly the same.

That's why I start with tables, IPC, and views.

It's one of those things that makes python programmers go "whoah": They quickly get kdb tables are way better with queries, that IPC is "like pickle times asyncio on steroids", and "just wow" to views.

If you do not see someone do something that you are struggling with quickly and effortlessly it will be difficult to drop your ego; If you really think "yeah but everything else is easier in python" then it is a handle to hold onto.

q/Kdb makes a lot of really hard things easy, and it gets them extremely right. That's right: Fuck speed. I like programming in q/Kdb because I'm more effective: It's a better language, with a better set of builtins and libraries.

And so on.
I'm not saying I want that, I'm saying it'd be super simple to do if things came to that.

My primary point is that presentational markup is not required to get value from all but the most meta of old pages.

>Targeted voter suppression campaigns have prevented people from voting who would have tipped the scales in favor of Democrats.

And the Democrats have spun reasonable measures, such as requiring some sort of identification to vote, as "suppression", possibly so those who aren't citizens can vote. Who cheats more? Who knows.

The low-hanging fruit for the Democrats is, however:

1) Prioritize lower/middle class economic concerns over progressive identity politics

2) Push the DNC not to scuttle candidates, like Bernie, that people don't universally loathe

If those two things get done, the Democrats have a good chance going forward. Otherwise, who knows.
Wrong, USCIS is funded by filing fees.
HBO's streaming strategy has been a little strange. They built one streaming product internally that wasn't particularly great and couldn't handle a lot of the huge traffic spikes they see with things like new Game of Thrones episodes.

They then contracted out to BAMTech to build a second nearly identical streaming product. BAMTech previously specialized in live event streaming, so they were better able to handle huge demand spikes. The unusual part is HBO never retired the first service and they have been running both side by side for years. Which service you get is dependent on whether you subscribe to HBO through a cable company or whether you subscribe to HBO directly.

HBO has recently started reinvesting in their internal streaming option with the likely long term plan of ditching the BAMTech run service. Odds are that was what they were talking about at KubeCon.

If this was such a cruel experience, the workers wouldn't be here and the H1B wouldn't be over subscribed.
Thanks Jacques. I don’t read any malice in your words and I certainly don’t mean to sound dismissive. My point was simply that, as a matter of strategy, it would not be in YC’s interest to “vertically integrate” as you suggest. And I can assure you it’s not in our plans. I also don’t believe that YC’s actions have a profound impact on how growth stage companies are perceived by investors because these companies thrive or suffer based on their own measured performance rather than based on YC’s signal. I think a lot of your comments on this thread were quite smart, but wanted to add some color on these two points
A great idea, that is proven to work conventionally
I don’t care. Malaria and dengue are sufficiently bad that I’d take the risk.

This has been studied, though. No animal only eats mosquitoes, and I’d only start with a few species (but likely expand to all of them.)

Interesting. I thought plaintext + .tar.gz or .zip format on either FAT or ext2 fs is the best bet for forward compatibility, and anything beyond that is too complex or obscure for future archaeologists. The obvious problem is the searchability, but I'd imagine in future that indexing a few TB of text/image will be a breeze.

You can use web3.py (https://github.com/ethereum/web3.py) to interact with Solidity contracts using Python. I'm looking into using it instead of truffle/web3.js so I can stick with a Python stack.
This hasn't been much more peaceful than the century following the Napoleonic Wars, which makes a lot of the political grandstanding going on terrifying.
This is absolutely amazing.
Too many times I'm looking to do simple things and don't have photoshop, the fact that I just opened this up and instantly felt at home and could do complex operations without even thinking is honestly revolutionary.

Every other online editor is a challenge to find, learn and use, and by the time you have spent 15-20 minutes you realize that you can't do what you want and need to get a local copy of photoshop anyways.

This is so far ahead of commercial competition in usability and speed I am astounded.

World Inequality Report 2018
Nice calculator, but it's missing an important field: How many hours per day do you keep your machines running. It assumes you run 24/7.

S3stat's nightly job needs 60 or 70 hours to run, but it all has to happen in the few hours after Amazon finishes delivering logfiles for the day. So I spin up 15 or so machines as spot instances that churn through the queue then shut down.

This calculator tells me that should cost $600 or so per day, when reality it is more like $12. So even though it claims Lambda could do the same thing for $5, it'd take a long time to win back the engineering cost of making the switch. (A little over a month for every hour I spent working on it, it seems).
I'm sorry but that is a bit ignorant on your part. Ecosystems and ecosystem services should not be underestimated. You could have a much bigger impact that you could think of.
One of the developers of Foldingtext here. Man, I was blown away to find Foldingtext on the front page of Hacker News today :)!

We're working hard behind the scenes to release the next major version in beta. It'll add a bunch of things that we feel will take FoldingText to the next level. Follow us on twitter (@foldingtext | https://twitter.com/foldingtext) if you're interested to hear about FoldingText development.

P.S. For the Vim enthusiasts, I'm really pushing to get vim support in the upcoming FoldingText beta ;)

CryptoZombies: Learn Solidity by Building a Crypto Collectables Game
When you cannot refute, ignore it. Wasn't it the standard practice so far?
(Mentioned in the paper.)

Instead keep the fancy unexpected results published and cited, even if irrelevant or wrong.
My point is that The Intercept did a better job of including the important information as it was cited up-post in a useful location for the reader than did the actual original article that was (in error) being defended as clear. You can dismiss this, and perhaps everything in the thread and/or the WSJ, but if it's worth posting, it's worth being accurate. But, if it's all so unimportant that nobody on this thread cares, then why post any comments about it at all?

That's my question, because personally I find funny the parts I don't find sad. Seriously, did you watch the comedy videos included in the decision by the chairman and the preceding industry event? They are included in my flagged comment below.
I think a lot of that has to do with the popularization of the meme (image macro) as a form of internet creativity. Facebook certainly was an outlet for that and they didn't impose much if anything to slow it down, but so was everywhere else you can post an image.
WSJ did a really good job with this too. I opened the News app on my iPad after work today and found this story at the top of my feed. Their stories are usually paywalled, so I was surprised they featured anywhere near the top, and I tapped, curious.

The argument did seem pretty fair and balanced. It presented both sides (or seemed to). On reflection (and I wouldn't have reflected if not for The Intercept's story) the article basically echoed Ajit Pai's argument saying anyone who gets up in arms about regulating ISPs is overreacting.

And it almost made me believe I was naive for thinking the repeal was a grave moment in Internet history.

I don't know how they got the story so highly ranked on Apple News, but the pessimist in me wants to say money changed hands.
My friend sent me a meme today that illustrated a view (not his) of what hardcore Crypto evangelists believe. In full disclosure I am not one, but believe there is probably some utility in it, I own a decent amount of BTC (not enough to make me quit working...enough to make me think about buying a house in the near future, depending on taxes), and I understand what the community is trying to do.

It was a meme of a scene from the Matrix.

>Neo: What are you trying to tell me? That I can trade my Bitcoin for millions some day?

>Morpheus: No Neo. What I’m trying to tell you is that when you’re ready...you won’t have to.

This view I think starkly disturbed me because it seems to signal that hardcore Hodlers really do think that on a long enough timeline the whole economic system collapses.
Law Office of Alice Pare
"government maximizes the freedom of the people by preventing the infringement of such freedom except in cases such that there is a mass consensus of its merit" seems pretty clear. The argument is that the freedoms the founding fathers wanted to preserve are protected by making it hard for corrupt politicians to take them away. The vision of the founding fathers is taken seriously because they were very smart and America has been very successful in many respects.

Do you live in chronological time?

The rights were given to them, that's when a lot of spouses gave up their careers elsewhere to build a family life here.

Now, like a video game, the rights are being yanked away.
What are they supposed to do? Leave kids here and go back try to rebuild a life without family? Take everyone with them and try to readjust?

Imagine being lured into college with funding and after 2 years, they just yank that funding away, leaving you hapless. What do you do then?
Correct, there is only one branch
At whose cost? Remember that someone is being stolen from or cheated on this case, on average. (If your percentages are correct.)

What the paper actually argues is to measure accuracy of the stereotypes instead of calling them wrong.
If it is say 90% accurate it is not on the person hiring to fix this perception.

It it's similar with black people in tge US and crime, however there are known institutional causes of it, not really a self fulfilling prophecy either. (They also apply to so-called white trash and result in the same, but in different states and therefore it is only a specific subgroup that is stereotyped instead is skin colour. Similar about Puerto Ricans or Mexican immigrants.)
Saying Taiwan is another country won't put you in jail. Unless you're actually working towards this goal.

Saying hiring more male software engineers may not be that wrong, however, do put you out of your job.
Why can't you fanthom that? If Apple would control Amazon level of commerce in field of electronics, not carrying them would mean that there's no more free market and no competition in the field. Any new (or existing) player couldn't enter the market no matter how good their product is.

The result is pretty much stores as they were here in the 1980s socialism - filled with a single crappy product with no other choice. Let's not have that.

Agreed. I have deleted Facebook app from my phone and it has been great since then. I feel like I waste less time scrolling through meaningless feed of pictures, posts and ads algorithmically crafted to be as addictive as possible.

I have also stopped using the main FB website. I only use messenger.com to talk to my friends but no need to go to the main website anymore.

The only reason why I haven't deleted my FB account completely yet is because I got a lot of pictures on FB and haven't found a convenient way to export them yet. So I might keep my FB account just as free cloud storage for my pictures, that's all.
>Why not create a new republican party?

The system is heavily weighted in favor of the duopoly (televised debates, etc.). Fixing that might increase the odds a third party would be able to be a genuine contender, rather than simply splitting one side's vote.
The problem isn't with predicting behaviour of complex systems - even if we can't do that, we're pretty good at quickly noticing consequences when they're still small.

What we are not good at, however, is stopping doing things that are actively harmful long-term, or to other people. Climate change, soil acidification and microplastics don't happen because we don't know what we're doing - it happens because people causing it have no direct interest in stopping the harm. They could have, if they all agreed to change their behaviour together, but the (possibly most) fundamental fact about human beings is that humans are near-impossible to coordinate at scale.

So the problem is not with knowing - it's with humans being selfish and impossible to coordinate.
