Of course you can’t control if you are featured or not just like you can’t control if you get a writeup in a big publication. Doesn’t mean you shouldn’t give yourself the best chance of getting it.
Learning to Classify Music Genres with Deep Learning
If 20-25% of homeless suffer extreme mental illness (as claimed by the National Coalition for the Homeless) , then I'm not sure that the vast majority simply lack for affordable housing. That's true for families, the elderly, and those living out of vehicles... but many of those living in encampments (e.g. >> 25%) are doing so because they do not want to be in any shelter or no shelter would have them (drug use, prostitution, violence, etc). I agree shrinking the problem is useful, but many of the homeless wouldn't want to live near other homeless, when they have the choice.

Working with Enterprise Search Relevancy Challenges – 3RDi Search Blog
I specified as clearly as I could. SROs are typically one room. They typically have a sink, refrigerator and closet and shared bathroom facilities and shared cooking facilities down the hall. Some are more like a hotel room, with their own private bathroom, but no kitchen. They typically allow hot plates and the like.

We tore down up to 80% of them over the course of a couple decades. If it isn't designed to house a family of four, the US seems to think it should not exist. So, many of our youth end up living with roommates because they can't afford a family home on their own and there aren't more modest options available.

Edit in response to your edit: You might find this article a good read elucidating the issue: https://www.citylab.com/equity/2013/07/it-time-bring-back-bo...

That is fantastic, on first glance it seems exactly what is needed.

I just think it's unfortunate that the tool needed someone to develop another tool to make it truly usable. Good software should be simple to use and configure, not dense and opaque.
Heh, "line". That has a very different connotation in this case.
Let's go with your theory and assume the worst. That still leaves 75% of them who would like a "normal" life and just can't manage to arrange it.
Can you back up this outlandish claim?
Here's my attempt at trying to explain what, at an abstract level, RSA is doing:

Imagine taking the powers of p mod n. If p and n have no common factor, then successive powers of p will take on all values less than n, in a sequence starting with 1, p, p^2, p^3, ... and eventually loop back to 1. There are exactly n values from 1...n, so the sequence loops back exactly after the nth power; in other words, p^n mod n == p, or p^(n-1) mod n == 1. This is known as Fermat's Little Theorem.

More colloquially, if you start with a number < n, and exponentiate it enough times mod n, you will get back to where you started. If you exponentiate it a fewer number of times, it will become some other number on this "circle", but you can then take that number and exponentiate it a further suitable number of times to get back to the original one. This is the RSA encryption and decryption, with the exponents being the public and private pieces of the key. The details of how those numbers are chosen involve more maths, but this is basically the principle of how RSA works.

I don't know; living here in the rust belt has been a pretty harsh wake up call if you ask me. Economic value is primo in the U.S.

(It's shocking to see first-hand entire regions in various states of collapse; furthermore becoming normalized in pop culture.)
Bitcoin has fundamentals though. Per the whitepaper it was designed to be just a means for individuals to transfer money to each other digitally without much friction. The further it gets from that the more we're asking the network to stretch to meet demands it was never designed to.
So what you're saying is I'm getting 0% cash back and paying .7% more for everything. Still doesn't sound like a win to me, and it still doesn't matter what card you get because no card is giving you more back than they're making off your use of it. That's not how money works.
I have a modest proposal.

I came here to say the same thing in re: the name conflict with Joy PL. I'm currently working on a Joy interpreter. I'm just getting it ready to post to PyPI (it's implemented in Python.)

It's pretty obscure, but I have high hopes for the language. It has some amazing qualities.
Or let the police eject people from encampments that are a danger. It’s pretty obvious that these sorts of places are threats to public safety.
Yeah, right. They already live in camps, so why not just add walls around it, and maybe build some big ovens (so they can bake bread) and buy some gas too. That would be a fine solution.
India. I charge $40/hour and people either ask me to charge a one time fee or reduce the price. Funny how people forget there are other places on earth where charging $150/hour would be nuts!
It can also lose 20x. Losses hurt more than gains feel good. Utility theory suggests to sell if probability weighting of loss is high enough.
Wots in d news END OF WORLD 2019
You can rent an apartment in Urbana, IL for $350/month where the minimum wage is $8.25. The HUD rule of thumb is that a person on that income would not be "cost-burdened" by a rent of up to $458/month.

So although housing affordability is a real problem on the west coast, it doesn't really explain homelessness. The homeless on the west coast are people who either have deeper problems than affordability (such as profound disability/drug addiction), or who simply prefer to be homeless in LA than housed in a less fashionable part of the country.
I would suggest something a little different actually: I found the easter egg because it seemed silly to put in my email address just to get 3 questions.

I don't quite agree with the risk angle because generally people who start their own businesses do so with strong family safety nets or with capital that they amassed in high paying professions. If their business fails, they are usually still ] better off than their employees.
That's not really a problem.
Yes if the two halves had matching horizontal slots forming T's with the vertical slots, the whole thing would lock together with friction. That's a pretty obvious improvement.
How? If the value goes to 0 you lose 1x, not 20x.
In my experience it's tolerable if you know how to wrangle Cygwin/X and Samba and treat the Linux guest like a remote machine that just happens to be on a phenomenally fast network. But it definitely does suck by comparison to something like VMWare or Virtualbox with proper integration support.
What's not really mentioned here is that these sorts of encampments are usually build along CA freeways because those are policed only by the state (Caltrans / CHiPs) rather than the locality (city/county). Even when there is an obvious hazard (garbage buildup and drift into the road, visible fires burning, throwing objects at cars, walking/crossing the highway or on/off ramp) nothing is done. Typically, it takes a call to your CA state senator to get any action (caltrans doesn't respond to messages within a month).
Geez. Spend $3,000 on luxury laptop, can't afford a $100 external monitor.
I agree that a tent does seem to be a step up from a ditch but I'm not sure you can say the issue was trivially solved. At least in the bay area many of the camps are in parks. This seems like a very controversial opinion but I really enjoy walking around parks and this really isn't possible with bustling, trash filled homeless encampments occupying the neighborhood parks. I don't have a solutions but I don't think tent camps are the way to go either.

Yes, Joy is amazing. I have been working through the Advent of Code puzzles with it and the code keeps coming out error-free. It delivers on Backus' idea of algebra of programs (aka "Functional Programming") in a direct and entertaining way. It also seems amenable to efficient compilation.

I'm pretty sure Joy is a kind of "silver bullet" for programming, in the sense that, as "software is eating the world", Joy will eat software.

I feel like I was similarly curious a year ago. I think this is a good tutorial for introducing the pieces one at a time:
https://github.com/verekia/js-stack-from-scratch

It is opinionated (as in, it picks a single option; webpack instead of gulp, react instead of angular or vue), but I think it does a good job of introducing things in isolation. I ran through the tutorial a couple times after I was more familiar with things.
The CPU-GPU analogy is very good for all sorts of reasons. For some things there's no speedup, for some important things there's a huge speedup, for other things there's some significant speedup, but not game-changing.

I tend to think of applications where you might want to brute-force search or simulate over some large set as being where quantum computing will be most significant, but I say that very vaguely and timidly.

This gives a number of applications and algorithms; I found some of the references in it really interesting to read:

The recent rewrite of the doc seems pretty clear and straightforward to me. Did you take a look at it?

I think lot of people don't even try to read the official doc and just look for a work-out-of-the-box conf to copy/paste. Probably because they think it's not worth it learning a tool you configure one time and never touch again.
Wouldn't it make more sense to do pruning during training instead of afterwards? That is, make the training itself involve pruning?

I remember coming across a paper four years ago showing that when using evolutionary algorithms, simply introducing a tiny connection cost would prune useless connections and spontaneously generate modularity:

> we demonstrate that the ubiquitous, direct selection pressure to reduce the cost of connections between network nodes causes the emergence of modular networks. Computational evolution experiments with selection pressures to maximize network performance and minimize connection costs yield networks that are significantly more modular and more evolvable than control experiments that only select for performance.

Not sure if that is easily generalized to other machine learning approaches, since I'm not working in machine learning.
Minecraft would be one.

Bigger games, Elite Dangerous rolled its own, which is able to use both OpenGL and DX (even though the OpenGL support is no longer useful).

Most indie games do not roll their own, however.
Also, it costs money to move across the country. It would be interesting to know if there are charities that help with relocation and getting people back on their feet with minimum wage jobs and housing in lower cost of living areas.
By platforms, I assume you mean Windows and Linux.

> What about the stupid fees that bank charge you to have the privilege to have you as a customer?

Might be worth using a credit union. To my knowledge, BECU isn't charging me any fees for my accounts with them.

Also worth noting that all governed digital payment systems (VISA, Paypal) are (1) prone to censorship and (2) leak information. Additionally, ACH and card transactions are based on debits that are initiated by the person requesting funds, as opposed to credits that are initiated by the owner of the funds. Not so terrible, but for the fact that the approval process for transactions is almost always one-sided. Anyone can debit my account and that transaction will go through by default.

It’s not outlandish.

The government shifted from institutional commitment to voluntary community based care for the mentally ill and chronically addicted in the early 1980s.

For a variety of reasons, just providing apartments doesn’t work. Most homeless people require substantial and ongoing assistance to get and remain independent.

Our social welfare system is a patchwork that varies from state to state and counties within a state. Until that changes, you’ll see no progress, as people will migrate to get better benefits and services, which makes delivery of those services impossible.
I recently left California and moved to a less fashionable part of the country to get off the street.

It cost me hundreds of dollars to travel to another state by train and I needed to pay deposit and first month's rent in a lump sum, essentially. I was able to do it because I developed portable (online) income while homeless. If you have to pay for the trip first and then job hunt while homeless and then save up the money to make the deposit while working while homeless...etc...this is a substantial obstacle to getting back into housing.

Furthermore, most places do not have the dry weather of SoCal. A lot of homeless people go there specifically because camping in dry, temperate weather is less of a burden. Moving elsewhere while homeless means being out in rain and cold and snow. Then, once you are there in SoCal, it becomes a trap that is hard to escape because housing in California is not affordable.

With the right optics, maybe. I see white supremacist riots, inexcusable wealth concentration, income inequality, stagnating wages, and high labor drop-out. Overall, it's feeling a lot like the 1920s. The stock market? I hope you time it right, Black Tuesday is coming up.

Low border crossings reflect our underlying economic problem - illegals have been declining for over a decade due to automation, job exports, and declining middle-class jobs... rats abandoning a sinking ship.
Well, actually worst would be that as many as 25% of those living in encampments are extremely mentally ill and unable to even find or stay in low cost housing. Another 25% might be involved in illegal behavior that wouldn't be allowed in and SRO (prostitution, drugs, violence, bike theft). Another 25% might be opposed the the idea of living with constraints of an SRO (when you can go in/out, how much room you have, who you have to live with). Then it's only the 25% (families, elderly, kids, disabled, sick, poor) living in an encampment because they don't have a vehicle that would move into low cost housing. That's an improvement, but it's nothing like a solution.

It's not like they _had_ to use cloudflare. Interesting situation though, kind of like the current cake debacle hitting the supreme court.
I feel like this might even be true now, but you forget 1) and 2) from a historical perspective.

1) interesting solution to the double spend problem, and therefore usable as a currency (just like gold coins, apple macbooks, rolexes, ... are usable as a currency)

2) The government "controls" spending on drugs by checking the payments made to suspicious parties, not by checking the contents of packages coming in. In other words, bitcoin is a "legal hack" that basically allows you to get heroin delivered to your door like an Amazon package. Or guns. Or poison. Or illegal medicine/performance enhancing drugs/...

3) untraceable or less traceable payments. Which are basically allowing for criminal acts to occur on more scalable levels like hostage taking, for computers and of course for real. [1]

1 is probably played out at this point, but 2 is very much alive. (e.g. [2])

I have had a college class on Homelessness and Public Policy. I did an internship in a homeless shelter. Later, I spent time on the street myself, including six months in downtown San Diego attending homeless services. I consider myself to be more knowledgeable than average on the subject.

You would need to provide a lot of data to substantiate this claim to have me take it seriously. I don't believe that is remotely realistic.
Clearly a "first-worlder" view. People in (most) oppressive regimes are not looking to move off their currencies, and nobody is looking for a decentralized solution for banking. M-pesa, Vodafone money, mobile wallets work great for people. There's no reason for costly decentralization that Bitcoin offers.

Maybe a case could be made for Venezuela where bolivars are useless, but USD is a far better candidate for their currency needs that Bitcoin, given how volatile Bitcoin is.

Even more, of course a lot of worries about unsafe conditions are simply a fig leaf over worries that simple, minimal living spaces would cut into rents and mortgage payments for existing places.

Of course one could have homeless encampments with strict and specific safety standards, either with tents or shacks ("tiny houses") or RVs or whatever. Existing homeless encampments are miserable, unhealthy and dangerous based on the standard that making homelessness a livable condition is bad.
Show HN: Sheet comparison of front end js frameworks
Every business wants the services they rely on to be commodity, but they don't want to be a commodity to the layer above them - they want to extract some of the value those upper layers provide. For example, a toll bridge is a commodity; it charges the same fee for a truckload of diamonds as a truckload of coal. If you were a bridge owner, you'd prefer to be able to charge more for people getting a lot of value out of your bridge.

Similarly, people who own the Internet pipes want to claim part of the value of new innovations build on them - to charge differential pricing for, say, streaming movies, vs less profitable types of content. The people building those innovations say, no way - charge us by the bit and it's not your business what those bits are doing.

It sounds like it's just an exploration of the history of color perception and philosophy of it. Scientists don't really have any problem; they all understand color is light emitted interacting with light reflected interacting with our light sensors (eyeballs). They're pretty good at measuring and recreating those elements.

My guess though is, to your point about qualia, while we've scientifically categorized animals, plants, and minerals food is fairly subjective but many preferences are shared between people. We've also developed a rough language around food (sweet, sour, umami), and food scientists have studied it and tried recreating characteristics.
To what extent are the TCP problems you can solve by tweaking manually with a proxy the same problems that QUIC solves automatically? If there's a big overlap, it may not be a real problem.

For example, you mention latency, but QUIC is supposed to remove unnecessary ordering constraints, which could eliminate round trips and help with latency.
