If you're going to be super distrustful of closed source stuff by companies with an interest in gathering user data and assume guilt before innocence is proven, that's fine. But you can't do it selectively!
I am an iMBA degree student at UIUC. I took a leap of faith and got admitted in the iMBA program (Jan'17 cohort). I can say with confidence that UIUC is not only the first one to give such an affordable education but their online education platform is pretty stable.

Lots of my friends who are in the iMBA program are pretty serious about the Masters in DS. They had to be, after all they are getting 2 masters degree for half the price. I might be wrong but Berkeley is offering their DS Masters (online program for 100k+)

Depends on how good of a spam filter you are using. On Estonian mail host zone.ee, about 10 spam e-mails get through every day. Talking purely about Estonian e-mails: on GMail Gsuite, nothing lands in the Inbox, but about 2-4 spam mails per day land in the Spam folder.

A message queue can be extremely simple, like Redis pub-sub. Fire and forget, if you missed something, that's it. No guarantees.

Kafka is a bit more durable, you can build exactly once delivery with it (but only in order), but no selective ACK. RabbitMQ (AMQP in general) has selective ACK, so it has a state DB, and needs compacting.

A task/job queue is of course pretty meaningless without a task/job executor. And so there every message has some metadata, such as when to execute it, how many times to retry, timeout, where to execute (if you have labels or otherwise tagged workers/executors, you can think of this as channels of course).

The distinction is not very clear, just as you implied. A message queue with selective ACK can be used to build a job queue, but then you need to create a small library to serialize and deserialize your arguments, to register workers/tasks, and you need an event loop that listens for the messages, unpacks it, loads the task, runs it, and ACKs it.

In advanced (complicated/complex) job queues you can report progress (which is handy for checkpointing - but that's very much just a DB that the running task uses to persist some data, so almost orthogonal to the task scheduling function).
As I mentioned here a number of times before, I already removed fb from my phone years ago. The best thing I did yesterday was to log out from fb on the computer.

"What if you just keep the gains and keep quiet?"

You risk paying much more than the usual tax if you get caught, and that's if you simply "forget to declare". If it looks like that you've taken explicit steps to hide those gains, then criminal charges may get pressed. IIRC they get some 2000 criminal convictions a year for tax evasion.
Thanks for sharing these, these look very cool. I don't know any other options like this for you unfortunately.
Right, but the fact that demand for something can make the price go up isn't useful investment advice. Gold hasn't been doing well against the USD recently, but yes, it's conceivable that it could shoot up if more people decided they want some.

1001101's person is betting that it will, and I agree that it's a possible outcome. Wouldn't put all my eggs in that particular basket, but hey, maybe I'm wrong.

Imagine: a future where an individual could effect a bloodless coup using nothing more than a Twitter botnet to spread slander and a few GPUs to generate scandalous footage.

Each NAND chip on an SSD is actually relatively slow. To get high read and write speeds, the access is multiplexed across all of the chips in the drive. Small capacity drives have a smaller number of NAND chips. This reduces the performance of the drives. In addition each NAND cell has a very limited number of lifetime writes it supports, typically 1k to 4k erase/write cycles. So drives do wear leveling, spreading writes over the whole drive. Therefore drives uses in extremely right heavy enterprise workloads may need to be very large just to support the required write endurance.

From what I understand Optane is fast enough to not need this extra controller processing. Resulting in the incrediblly latency performance demonstrated by Optabe drives. I suspect if Intel wanted to sacrifice latency, they could dramatically increase top line read and write performance by performing the same read and write interleaving that NAND SSDs do.
Oh cool - wasn't really expecting to see this one on HN! The changes here are all a result of "iterating" on our product. Since we work in cryptography, it's not usually the case we can move fast. But this mini-blog post outlined some quick changes we could make.

Stuff we learned from testers:

(1) In many ways, Keybase's chat is like Slack (except encrypted!), but unlike Slack, our user database is public and connected to known identities. So there was an opportunity we were missing, namely to teach people about teams they might be interested in, run by people they are interested in. Seems obvious now, but we had our blinders on.

(2) A large "open" team still makes sense on Keybase, even though anyone is allowed in. It's worthwhile because sender authenticity is extremely valuable. Protection from phishing attacks has been driving a lot of our team signups/migrations...especially in the cryptocurrency space.

If there are any technical questions about these changes or how teams work on Keybase, happy to answer them here. As you can tell from my HN profile, it can be proven I'm keybase.io/chris .
>The scourge we know as traffic costs the American economy about $125 billion to traffic per year, according to traffic analytics company Inrix.

In what way has your CS bachelor paid off? Also, how much did it cost?
Homebrew, like, for example, CPAN, runs reasonably arbitrary code at package-install time. Much of it is sandboxed, or reviewed by the maintainers, but scripts/configure programs/etc. can spray files, or remove files, anywhere they want on your system. The same is true with ill-behaved "configure; make; make install" deployment systems.

This is contrasted with something like dnf/yum, which has registries of assets that are supposed to be installed. I'm not positive, but I suspect something like that would be a way higher maintenance burden for OSX (for maintainers of the package management system and packagers themselves, many of whom have shown little to no interest in packaging for OSX, hence Homebrew's patch system).

It also lives primarily in its own directory, unless you're installing casks (which usually "do exactly what the installer would do if I downloaded and installed it myself") or packages with special cases that manage external-to-homebrew things. For packagers, the API for "use Homebrew-managed/blessed directories for e.g. --prefix configure arguments" is pretty good, but people (and bad, old build scripts) can and do still mess around outside of where they're supposed to. "Hosing your system binaries" is a pretty darn rare occurrence unless you're explicitly configuring brew to put things where it wouldn't normally.

Edit: plurals are hard.
Well, Google’s their business model actively encourages using this data for advertising or analytics.
It is indeed probable that some are using these mortgages on the new Futures market (or other means) to short Bitcoin. IANAFiduciary - I think going short and long have equal risk. The most easily defensible position is to have thrown a small amount of spare cash into several coins a month or more ago, and watch the roller coaster.

At this point, the market's too hot - there's too much going on. And Bitcoin itself isn't seeing the meteoric growth today that it has over the past 2 weeks - where is the growth from the Futures exchange?
Does anyone really find these home assistants to be all that useful? Echo, home, etc. All of them really seem to be designed to get you to buy them and then to sell you more stuff, not to actually be useful. It barely works for even simple queries. The music integration doesn't work well with Spotify on the home, and can't even add reminders. The echo has to ask "am or pm" when I tell it to 'wake me up tomorrow at 8'. It's really good at understanding the words that I say but this really illustrates the gap between natural language transcribing and understanding. The only reason I use it is that it's perfect as a handsfree music player and that has its uses in the shower, etc.
This.

I never quite understand this argument. I don't think people who are worried about climate change are worried that it will be the end of all life, but that it will be the end of a good life for humans.

Knowing some bacteria will love the apocalypse doesn't really matter; I want humans, and my children and their children and their children's children, to be able to enjoy this planet. I care about humans because I am a human. I mean, if you trully believe that all life is interchangable, it doesn't really matter if humans exist as long as some life exists, then why do anything at all? Nothing would matter.

I would admit that there is probably some amount after which more money would not necessarily increase my motivation, but for me that figure is going to be pretty large. Probably 20X more than I make today, so I'm in no danger of suddenly finding myself unmotivated.
To be clear, I'm just a random that's been following the mill project for a while, so please don't take my answers as gospel.

The mill is a new, novel, ISA, which will require compilers to support it as a target. There's no getting around that. But once the tooling is ready, typical programs written in high level languages like C (i.e. excluding inline assembly and architecture-specific assumptions) will be a compiler flag away from being able to distribute binaries that run on all mill chips.

If it's the specializer you're concerned about, it's intended to be very transparent to the typical user, integrated into the system. Most users are completely unaware that a thing called the linker even exists, this should be similar. By the way, just building the spec (defines belt size, available instructions, etc) generates a fully functioning specializer for that machine. I'm pretty sure it does that today.
Come on, it's obvious it's shaped like a penguin. The change in albedo is caused by the rotation needed to maintain gravity for the small alien penguins within.
Are there any sources for sample video interviews that I can watch and review? Just as there are websites that show sample resumes for different professions?

Right now I have used Pramp and went on one mock interview so far, to work on my technical skills. Got anywhere between 2/7 and 3/7 in the qualities I was reviewed for, but I can still take more interviews to improve there.

The most insightful interview has been with Triplebyte, though. They went into great detail telling. In general, I code well, but I code slow. Also, they said I wasn't really showing much depth in any particular area, although I have showcased a variety of skills.

I'm gonna try finding a professional who has time to do a mock interview with me. Setting up time for one may be the only tricky thing.
No, like GP said, all it takes is for some people to sell large amounts of BTC, and for other people to notice and panic. That's it. IMO you're really overthinking things.

I suppose you're trying to guess why those first sellers would sell? Seems like a pointless exercise. There could be any number of reasons. A mysterious authority figure convincing them that BTC is overvalued is just one (unlikely) possibility.
Absolutely, seeing the same thing happen but didn’t see the similarities with UI/UX until you mentioned it. That is right on.

I credit much of it to the rise of people like Marissa Meyer doing similar things to the PM world as people like Jonny Ives did in the UX world.

Individuals making that big of a splash significantly alter the perception of their field.
Wow, that’s awesome that I can turn off all the creepy features! They should put this button on the homepage ;-)
Apple would have no problem implementing something similar.

It's the brand, mindshare and music store/service lead gen that's more difficult to replicate. Why get rid of an icon that's already on everyone's phones that could be a funnel to apple music instead of spotify?

Agreed. I feel like I don't recognize liberalism in the kinds of things that people advocate for these days.
I don't feel like being an engineer obliges me any more or any less than any other employee regarding the ethical consequences of my work, nor do I have any stronger obligation than any other employee to not do unethical work.
Frankly, it took me years, because as everyone, I took the wrong path in the beginning - technical analysis, books... After that I had to unlearn the bad habits and start clean...

Hi from "Moz://a" in the game!
The difference is that these are powered by the mains and you wouldn’t see battery drain. With a phone they’d have to give up battery life - from my understanding more than any phone currently could give up and be usable - to be constantly listening. My phone is only really on power when I’m asleep, but this would always have power and be able to listen without me knowing.

Not making accusations but I do think there’s a real difference between a microphone I’m always using and see and care about the battery drain of, and one plugged into the mains with no battery concerns.
Yes, I do
You could look through the Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) codes. That will give an overview of what exists.

Fair warning, though: If you see, say, "Rubber and plastic footwear" (code 3021), and you think "Hey, there ought to be some low-hanging fruit there - how hard could it be?", well, you will probably find that the state of the art there is considerably more sophisticated than you thought.

That is: I suspect that picking a category, and deciding that there should be some opportunity there, is a poor way to proceed.
I agree. But with two caveats:

1. Make sure you’ve picked the right segment to focus on.

2. If you are open to other segments, don’t make your marketing alienate those other segments.

> It is dark to wonder how many of these failures that perpetuate evil in the world may have been intended?

One person's intention is another's incentive, so in-between that, I don't think it's dark at all. "Iraq For Sale: The War Profiteers" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYa_3oh1-s4 )

You might say "Cheney's buddies" profited from destroying and murdering, they also profited from "rebuilding", and then the very people who helped create the mess get even more air time to give their expert opinion, as seen in the Daily Show's "Now That's What I Call Being Completely Fking Wrong About Iraq" ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aqzzWr32srk ).

Hitchens can call comparisons between Haliburton and Islamism "purely frivolous" and outright orders one to "drop it", like in video linked in the sibling comment, but such a bald assertion can quite easily be countered with "no, it's not" and "make me". I prefer to remember the Hitchens that still had spine and priorities (namely the priority of the actions of oneself and one's allies being more important than those of people we don't support or even oppose), as seen for example here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3nAoTev-RE&t=1h20m00s .. the whole thing is interesting, and quite a stark contrast; he used to advocate for putting out fires with water, later he started cheerleading for pouring oil on them. I like the man too much to let him get away with that.
There should be an option for following/friending people, I had fun with a few guys and I'd like to know if they are logged and where they are.

Okay, so you didn't see one of the streams I'm talking about. Try one of the streams that promises to do "squats" or some other sexually suggestive activity whenever someone donates.
Get yourself a small linux box, install python, get some back data and start testing any trading idea you ca come across the web for free or from books form the library - all of them will fail, but it will give you other ideas to test and one day hopefully you'll find your edge... From there it's easy to automate...
Popularity may not inherently imply quality, but enough popularity over time correlates with a gradual improvement in quality.

Homebrew has improved a ton over just a few short years. The Linux ecosystem did the same, as did many other projects that started out as a popular-but-less-featureful/reliable alternative.

If it's been awhile since you tried it, I'd check it out.

No, it will force the development of AI to detect whether things are fake or not.

We'll soon be in an arms race as better-and-better AIs alternately try to fool or not be fooled.

The people who are able to understand and wield these technologies will have incredible amounts of power over those who are not.

This is one route to the singularity - to deal with the consequences of ML and AI advancements, you need to invest even more. This ever-increasing arms race sucks vast amounts of human and financial capital into the 'tech sphere'.

> BTC has basically zero of that, as evidenced for the fact that there isn't a deliverable version of this contract.

How can anyone claim Bitcoin is a useful currency if it's less practical to deliver than, say, KC Winter Wheat?

> And 20 minutes...is an eternity

This is for a futures contract one month out. You would close your position at the same time that you agreed upon the rate for the blockchain transaction. When you sold the BTC you could verify receipt of the USD quickly (fiat FTW), whereas the blockchain propagation time is more of a risk to the BTC buyer.
Also, it's highly unlikely that the people who did the censoring _then_ are overseeing the release _now_.

Back in the day, we had Esther Dyson's Release 1.0, which similarly had a limited but very influential audience who paid for the rather pricey subscription, and was published in an archaic medium (email is the new paper, I guess).
The basic Chromecast audio is $35 and has audio and optical out. That's a much better value than Sonos or the other competition. I already have those in multiple rooms, so this is attractive if I want to buy an integrated unit for an additional room that can also respond to audio commands. It fills a gap in the product line.
