I see serverless as the new Visual Basic (in a good way!). It allows you to glue together disparate cloud APIs and services (the equivalent of OCX controls in VB) and create useful applications. Though we are still in the early days, serverless platforms will continue to get easier to use and lower the barrier of entry to cloud application development for a whole new group of developers. We built our own open source serverless solution on top of Kubernetes, called Kubeless: http://kubeless.io

This is a thoughtless crime which obviously fills one with outrage on multiple levels. I trust in the Iowa state police to locate the offenders.
Not meaningfully. The input doesn't need to be uniform, just unpredictable. Statistical patterns are fine, as long as no one can predict exactly what's going to happen (to the pixel level). Even if all the drivers on the road were collaborating, they couldn't coordinate well enough to feed the camera adversarially predictable inputs. At least, not human drivers...
See cloudflare blog post conclusion - they're quite aware it's hopefully unnecessary and possibly just a flair factor (their pun :) but may help prevent an attack ever so slightly.

"Hopefully we’ll never need LavaRand. Hopefully, the primary entropy sources used by our production machines will remain secure, and LavaRand will serve little purpose beyond adding some flair to our office. But if it turns out that we’re wrong, and that our randomness sources in production are actually flawed, then hopefully LavaRand will be our hedge, making it just a little bit harder to hack Cloudflare."
I've been drinking non-remineralized RO water almost exclusively since literally conception and I'm just fine. My daughter has done the same and she is fine.

Water is potentially a source of minerals but a varied diet works just as well. The situation may be different for people in developing countries with very limited diets but in rich nations with access to year-round fruits, etc it's not a problem.
Yes, they were; they mentioned it explicitly.

Cheap money, both QE and low top end taxes, increases the money supply, and it does absolutely increase demand: stocks, bonds, and real estate. The top 20% own 92% of the stocks. It is a lower risk for wealthy people to pay cheap top end taxes and stuff what remains into stocks or real estate, than it is to open a business or expand an existing business. It's a state sponsored hoarding policy that heavily favors wealthy people.

That it doesn't trickle down to the working class is by design. It's not a mistake. They're not stupid. This is the entire point of privatization of social security. It just dumps more cash into the stock market, driving up prices, benefiting the early investors more than it benefits the new investors.
If you know how to measure the vertical offset (fitting height / segment height) of the optical center from the bottom of the lens edge, or can get someone to measure that for you, EyeBuyDirect (and probably other sites that have remake policies) will exchange a new pair with your custom height. You need the first pair to try on frame and do the measurement. For subsequent orders of the same frame, you can specify fitting height in “Special Instructions” for your prescription.

If self-measuring with a mirror, ensure the temples and nose pads have been fully adjusted before taking the pupil location measurement.

I find it interesting how many people on this site accept the natural gender imbalances between men and women when it comes to dating, yet don't believe these differences extend beyond relationships into things like career choice or leadership seeking tendencies. Why do you think this is?
Probably antifa freeing the bees from their bourgeoisie masters.
The author has come up with the theory of diversification. The problem here is that, finding one thing is already hard. You often can’t magically find another thing that’s equally effective and so you burn a lot of money and energy pursuing other strategies. Take a look at what Charlie Munger says about diversification. Forget it, make big huge bets when there is a large positive assymetric risk reward.

The assumption is that the feedback control loop is timed correctly. And the second assumption is that the natural system of economics doesn't have it's own feedbacks. If you wire a feedback control loop even slightly wrong you can wind up with positive feedback instead.

Moreover the feedback control comes at a cost. What if the cost is "the rich get richer and the poor get poorer"?

This surprises me. Is it just a matter of "nobody thought to get into this market yet"? I'd thought this was the role that Lloyds of London already played. If a bunch of Black churches from Alabama had access to Lloyds of London back in 1956, what are the barriers to a farmer from Iowa in 2017?

Even if this were true, which I disagree with, it has changed the world. Just because we don't still use the iPod anymore doesn't make it any less brilliant.

> The people in the 80s weren't smarter (or dumber) than the people of today, there were just a lot of low hanging fruits back then.

They didn't just take the low hanging fruit. In the 60s it was assumed that computers would just get bigger and bigger. They had to take the highest hanging fruit that everyone thought was ridiculous. They had to envision an entirely different world. So perhaps they weren't more intelligent but they had a more powerful vision of the future.

You're probably laughing at similar people today.
If we don't automate jobs away that can be automated, aren't we just engaging in a form of the broken-windows fallacy? I mean we could put people back in elevators to operate the buttons or do like Oregon and not allow drivers to pump their own gas, but should we?
> One of the problems with Tinder is its nebulous ethos. Is it a dating app or is it a hookup app?

That's a feature, not a bug. For many/most people, there's not a strict binary division. Dates can turn into hookup and hookups can turn into real relationships. I know multiple friends in long-term relationships which started as Tinder hookups.
I don’t know if there are options on this but when I bought a couple of $99 pairs from Warby Parker, the frames were fine but the lenses were of substantially lower quality.

If that company provides any pollination services at all to local farms, the $50k is nothing compared to the hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars of potential economic damage depending on what sort of crops they assist with.

All of these points are the exact same concerns I've had with serverless. The higher cost per CPU cycle, plus additional engineering cost managing all the functions and build processes seem better spent deploying on a dedicated server. For all the hype around serverless in 2017, I would love to hear from someone explaining why it's not just hype, and something valuable to developers as more than a side tool.
Cars don't look exactly the same and are not in the exact same places. Lighting changes. People look very different and walk different paths. It's going through PRNG so even very small pixel differences (which you can find even on an empty street thanks to changing weather, litter, wind and so on) are good enough if they are unpredictable. In other words, when you compare pictures of the same lava lamp with pictures of some random cars, I think you will be able to find more patterns in the lava lamp movement. You would also likely be able to predict it better (well that's the same thing I guess).
Going back to the fast food example, if there is higher demand the restaurateur can get bank loans to hire more employees and produce more Big Macs. Entrepreneurs are always looking for demand and then fulfilling that demand in order to generate profit and wealth. The reverse is not true. Consumers aren't going to be interested in your mud-pies just because you increased the supply of mud-pies.
In principle: The electorate. I agree though that the potential for rent-seeking and cronyism is a problem with any government investment.

I had occasion to look at Kubeless and Fission early in 2017. At the time I recommended we look more closely at Fission, but I am more partial to the Kubeless view that startup time is a matter to push down to Kubernetes.

The decision made was to implement another FaaS instead (Project Riff). It resembles Kubeless in a lot of respects. And now I'm assigned to work on it. Funny how things turn out.
Sounds like a hate crime.
Were you not around for the first dot com bubble?

All it takes is the right high profile failure(s) and investors get spooked. They stop investing, which causes more collapses of companies that can find investment. They pull their money out, the selling undermines market confidence and things go kablooie. That's just one example of how it could happen based on how it did happen before, not a prediction of what will happen.

The valuations are based on confidence, if the confidence is reduced (not even entirely gone) it can start a downturn. That can go fast or slow.
Can you give an example of one of these austerity policies? So far as I can tell, no country after the great recession has decreased their soverign debt load (as in, budget surplus, not deficit reduction). Moreover, an austerity policy is terrible for the working class if you choose to direct it at social services instead of directing it at greasing cronies, which so far as I can tell is what every country that has undergone "austerity" has done.
This is a shameless plug, but I created an IOS dating service based on your facebook friends, close mutual friends and soon to add people around you within 100m radius and you would meet at events so basically operates as similar as to people you would actually like and meet in real life, later on will provide searching people capabilities instead of swiping.

This is what you said "Precisely why the "feared for my life" defense of police execution has to be ended."

Which is a clear argument for removing officers right to defend themselves when they fear for their life, reasonably or unreasonably. You're moving the goal posts.
I wouldn't say it's much of a shift as much as an arms race between hoaxers and investigators.

In the olden days you certainly had less ways to fake footage (no image editing or digital forms of manipulation), but at the same time it was also much easier to trick people into believing falsehoods. I mean, look at the older stuff on the Museum of Hoaxes. It'd be shot down in minutes in 2017, since it's obvious the people involved did very little work to back up their claims. You could literally walk into a town where a famous guy's son when missing ten years ago and pretend you're him with no one any the wiser for months. Despite not looking anything like the missing guy and knowing very little about his life. [0]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tichborne_case

Or pretend to be a missing Russian princess/foreign visitor/royal with no one being any the wiser. Or lie in newspapers about how Astronomers found a society of advanced humanoids on the Moon. Either way, while there were few ways to falsify information to the same quality as can be done now, it was made up for by how easy it was to trick people in a world without the internet, a decent press/journalists or easily hidden cameras.

As history went on, obviously the amount of ways that you could falsify evidence increased, as did the convincingness of the trickery. However, at the same it also became much easier to debunk false claims too, so the quality of the fakers had to get better if they wanted to stand a chance of fooling anyone.

Hence the arms race. The better technology gets at letting people forge evidence, the better it also gets at letting people debunk fakes.

I learned C from the K&R book (the 2nd edition that discussed ANSI C) during my university years (circa 2000).

The book is solid for learning C and I would totally recommend it. The only gotcha is that I actually had to read it three times to properly understand all concepts (especially pointers, their relation to arrays, function pointers and their types etc). So yes it was confusing but not because the book was confusing but because the concepts are confusing (especially to a novice programmer having headaches from pointers).

Beyond K&R I would also recommend the Deep C secrets book (the one with the fish) for going "deeper".

From Wikipedia: Chrome OS is an operating system designed by Google that is based on the Linux kernel and uses the Google Chrome web browser as its principal user interface.

OK so why not Google Chrome web browser on top of Fuchsia, instead of Linux kernel and the usual user space stuff? Google can call that retrofit anything they want, so it could still be Chrome OS.
Quitting my full-time job to pursue my side-projects was the best thing I could have done for my health and sanity this year.

I am now working on a bunch of ideas that I hope will help some people around here:

1. A Pocket-to-Kindle service that syncs (almost) instantly to your Kindle whatever article you save, formats it like a professionally edited book, cleans up ads and takes advantage of the new typesetting engine inside the new Kindle firmware.

2. A Spotify music discovery website.
I'm trying to make a two-click-playlist-generator by using Spotify APIs to look at the top artists/genres of a user and create playlists on the fly with tracks that the user could like.

I use Spotify daily and found myself overwhelmed by how much music there is available. Because of that, I'm mostly listening to my saved songs, Discover Weekly/Release Radar and trying out playlists that usually have the same too popular songs.

3. An adaptive brightness/contrast app for external monitors. Adjusting brightness using the monitor's controls is always annoying to do.

4. A morning alarm that starts playing an algorithmically generated Spotify playlist each time, with fade-up volume, external speaker support, adaptive algorithm based on likes/dislikes and self-updating alarm times based on day moments (twilight, sunrise, golden hour, dusk etc.)

5. A detector for processes that eat up all your CPU and battery. I started writing this in Rust so I can make it cross-platform and learn the language at a lower level.

"Real life" doesn't have to work that way. Do you enjoy cycling? Board games? Chess? Knitting? Great -- go out and do those things with other people! Unlike with an online dating checklist, those people probably won't be faking those interests, so you'll actually have something in common.

This is pretty cool use of tech that goes back to SGI. It's definitely not the practical solution to TRNG's. There are analog solutions that use basic physics and EE techniques to generate noise fast, cheap, in tiny footprint if you want, and with a lot of potential diversity in supply chain. Here's an example of an open one:

It works great. I was specifically looking for a bike without gears since I read that many people with e-bike conversions just leave it on one gear all of the time anyway and I didn't want the apparently-unnecessary additional complexity and failure modes of a derailleur.

Besides, the pedal assist power is adjustable so if I hit a hill I can just press the + button on the controller on the handlebar and I get more power. That functions like shifting into an easier gear, without having to pedal like mad to get anywhere.
Please avoid TLS at all costs unless you really know what you are doing and why. It can blow up GC due to the reference graph becoming highly interconnected via the TLS arrays. This can happen without you being aware because dependent libraries are busy being oh so clever with TLS.
There is wide variation in the supply chain of online eyeglass retailers.

EyeBuyDirect and FramesDirect are partly-owned by the world’s largest lens manufacturer Essilor (soon to merge with Luxottica), so their lenses are very similar if not identical to those sold by local opticians.

I’ve bought -6 sphere -2 cylinder from EyeBuyDirect. Their default fitting height for optical center did not work for my face size (easily verified by moving the frame up and down to find the clearest spot). Once I had the correct measurement, they remade the glasses which worked perfectly.

(Author here) sorry, I should work on my tone. Sometimes it feels fun to write strong statements, knowing in your own mind that you're just trying them on. Then when other people read the stuff I realize it doesn't sound daring, it just sounds arrogant. Realized this a few days ago when some podcasters covered an OpenBSD article I wrote, and when they read some of my statements out loud it sort of made me wince.
