My point is more that people seem to look at going public as the one true sign of enterpreneurial success. I worked at a privately owned start up in which maybe 4 employees held all the equity, and the other 200 were simply salaried or paid hourly, and you know what came up in every Q&A? "When are we going public?" It doesn't seem like many people talk about their vision for their start ups being sustainable, or that many people think about the implications of going public for the business itself. Personally, I would be hesitant to invest much time in becoming a client of a company that was rushing to go public because it needed the cash and private investors weren't cutting it or because most of the company wanted to cash out. It's a red flag to me.

But more to your point, recruiters lie, and if you don't realize that as a grown up, college graduate, you've got bigger problems in your life, I suspect, than when a company decides to file IPO. They shouldn't lie, but recruiters tempting you with options also isn't a reason to suddenly submit to the SEC and public traders to get some cash.
>That's a weird qualification to me, as if most other vegetarians do it because of their religion.

Most vegetarians on the Indian subcontinent/Asia in general do not eat meat for religious/cultural reasons. Growing up in a Hindu/Buddhist-adjacent culture is often enough to cause someone to avoid red meat.
It sounds like they un-anonymized the data, which strikes me as slightly unethical. (I mean it's not medical data or anything, but I don't think that was the intended use of the anonymized data.)

Further, it seems like the results of this will be used to deny loans to restaurants that are not doing so great, thus ensuring that they fail because they can't get funding for renovations and improvements.
I'll settle for something that matches socks.
I expect my vaporware to at least get its marketing right! :-)
Wow, this is extremely sexist and not at all evidence-based.

Wouldn't it be nice if you could prove any nonsense proposition p simply by insisting that p "isn't PC" and therefore any attempt to prove p "won't get taken seriously anyway" so it very-well oh-so-likely must actually be true!

And of course, asking males to take time away from their careers is out of the question...
At the same time, what Gwaker did to Thiel is despicable as well. This is truly one of those cases where there is no good guy, just a bunch of bad guys being bad.
You're definitely not alone. It makes sense on an intuitive level. Even when you "close" your eyes, you can't stop yourself from seeing. You're simply staring at the inside of your eyelids.

EDIT: I had not heard of the Ganzfield effect before, although I was familiar with the phenomenon itself. It does seem like this a manifestation of what they're referring to. As a side note, in sensory deprivation situations you also become keenly aware of the sound of your heart beating and the sound of your blood circulating in your veins. It's very odd.
At the time when Audion, and Soundjam were the only (real) Mac MP3 choices, I worked at MP3.com.

I recall conversations over email, phone (and even in person once (unplanned "hey I'm...")) with Cabel, a great guy. Our email exchanges led to putting Audion into the MP3.com recommended players page.

Everyone at MP3.com (on the engineering side) loved the quality Audion app. When we saw that Soundjam had become iTunes, we gasped, "how could they choose that app over Audion?"

A lot of internet history during that time. One thing is for sure, content, and the access to that content is still the fuel of internet growth.

I tip my hat to Cabel, Audion, Panic, and the team. I always felt like you were one of us, as in Panic build quality products coded by team who care about what hey send out.

I hope your (money) ship comes in someday.

au revoir Audion, au revoir
How to botch TLS forward secrecy (2013)
When I read white papers, there is only one question I need answered and I feel that the Stellar whitepaper just dances around that question:

Does the algorithm fundamentally require that every transaction have to eventually pass through every node in the network?

The idea of quorum slices seems to imply 'no' but the whitepaper doesn't appear to make any attempt to connect the concept of quorum slices with actual transactions.

Can anyone answer that question?

I disagree that it is disingenuous because of the reasons provided and I gave you easy ways for you to find examples of this yourself if you are interested, and also provided more ways in a comment in the above thread.

I am uncertain if you are seeking concrete examples from me because you do not believe there is an intolerance to opinions or if you want them to see if you agree with oppressing some specific views in a list. Considering your response I tend towards the latter interpretation. Again, I do not think it is possible to simplify the opinions of a large group of people into neat categories.
9 Travel Gadgets Every Geek Needs to Keep Close
When looking through job postings I watch out for this type of statement: “Only short-listed candidates will be contacted.” which means that I can’t expect any reply if I am not selected for an interview. Dear recruiters, this is not OK, ever!

I put a day or two into a job application. (Which may be excessive, but it leads to a high conversion rate). Preparation includes researching the company, their products and projects, their history and my possible contribution – and tailoring my application package to their needs. If the company can’t be bothered to write me a short email “Nope, sorry. HR.” then that company is not worth my time.

In effect, “Only short-listed candidates will be contacted” tells me: “1) We are too lazy or incompetent to set up a mass email reply. 2) We don’t care about candidates enough to save them the time and stress of unnecessary follow-ups.” By extension, I will assume that company does not care about its employees either and has effectively disqualified itself from my becoming a part of their team.
The US plays a unique role in the world and has not played it perfectly, that's very true. But it is nowhere close to being the primary villain of the 20th century. I would indeed say you are naive to think so.

Every generation everywhere feels they've been "screwed over" by their parents, or their parents' parents. You lack perspective.
How does can you bias a dataset to lead to google identifying black people as gorillas? That doesn't make sense. Seems like it's more that their facial recognition software sucks.
It would mean that if a drug was inefficient on an African American of Zimbabwe descent, the same drug would be unlikely to be efficient on the black people Zimbabwe. There are measurable genetic traits these can be attributed to, although unfortunately they are less understood for minority populations.

The whole “not registered” thing is part of the problem — either the UK guarantees to continue allowing all EU-27 citizens who enter the UK to stay, or EU-27 citizens already in the UK have to be prepared for spontaneous deportation when someone notices they’re not UK citizens. The third opinion, to force registration, would be sensible, but is impossible partly because ID databases are politically impossible, and partly because the UK government is incompetent.
Mother Jones winning is the exception, not the rule, and plenty of outlets can't afford a legal fight. Those that can can-and-do (as Mother Jones did) are usually severely hampered in their ability to actually serve the people by dealing with barratrous claims.

Voting against it now would look a little like admitting it shouldn't have been voted for in the first place.
Reactionary is a label thrown at people who do not agree with a particular progressive idea and might have different ideas. People don't generally describe themselves as reactionary; instead it's a way for people to denigrate a particular opinion.

Buddhism isn’t so much veg like Hinduism. Lots of meat eating in Buddhist countries (Myanmar, Thailand) and even the monks eat meat if the elevation is high enough (Bhutan, Tibet).
A "security model" like a memory model should be able to tell you the guarantees available to shield a process from another process upon execution of an instruction. I think a memory model already does this to some extent, just not as everyone thought for speculative execution and side channel timing attacks. A quick Google search will show research on static analyzers for side channel timing attacks, as others have said, on the same core. Having clock strata are also not a new thing, it is resource intensive for make available a more accurate clock, and much cheaper to provide an inaccurate clock.

As far as sharing cache goes, there can be 4096 PCIDs/ASIDs AFAICT, maybe there should be more. Tying speculative execution to PCIDs/ASIDs might not be too bad of an idea.. if it isn't done already. Better CPU security models that reason about cache and speculative execution should be enough to solve this problem.
I think if I was after experiences that immersive, and willing to go to that much trouble, then I would take up paintball, or join the society for creative anachronism or something.
What value?
Most people who consider themselves "pro-business" prefer less government control vs personal freedom.
But this decentralization is a feature, not a bug. It might be more efficient on the surface to centralize and just have everyone trust a mint, but that defeats the purpose of decentralization.

There are other upsides like independence.

It’s more efficient for everyone to take a bus and never drive a car alone. But cars give freedom. It’s more efficient for the world to eat soy lent instead of a diverse diet.

Complaining about how cars use more fuel than buses or how strawberries take more water and fertilizer than soy neglects to capture all the benefits gained for those higher costs.

Again, that has exactly zero relevance to both cases cited here.

Why cite an exception yet no typical examples while making your case?
Yes, very true. I suppose the internet just amplifies something that's been around for decades. To add to your examples, it amazes me that people favourably compare Russia's fixed elections with the failings of the Electoral College.
"Teslasuit, n. A subpoena from Elon Musk's trademark attorneys"
Quit the b/s, will you. It's not difficult at all.

You use a central server to do the discovery and bootstrap the connection between two devices. For each device it looks like they are connecting out. This works for UDP and this works for TCP. It works both for NAT'ed and LAN peers. For the latter it works 100% of time. This is a 10 year old tech. It worked back then and it works now.

The author describes a "fake news detector AI", that is actually a "typically legitimate source of news" data model, combined with a fake news domain blacklist. It doesn't detect fake news. It detects whether a story possibly came from a source you find to typically be legitimate.

Hey all,

Denis, Teslasuit Marketing Director here. Looking forward to your questions!

as for feedback for users - we have it on Youtube - just google it by keyword phrase "Teslasuit VR haptic suit at DevGAMM 2017 Minsk"

as for prefix Tesla - we using it due to the fact that we are using current (EMS and TENS) to provide haptic (sense of touch)

as for electricity: yes, we are using TENS and EMS to provide haptic sensations

as for security: yes. we have 2 security system built in the Teslasuit (software level and hardware level)

PS. I can't answer so fast to other questions due to limitation of the Hacker News, but promise - I will answer to all your questions a bit more later
How to hack your pc lights
I used the keto diet to lose about 30lbs last year. Took a break through the holidays because fuck avoiding carbs on Thanksgiving. Just started back up on it this week, been doing bulletproof coffee every morning again.

It's great if you want a lot of fat and some protein in the morning. I actually mix in a bit of vanilla flavored protein powder as well for flavor and protein (adds a little sugar but whatever).

I don't think it's some magical energy drug, that's probably all placebo, get some adderall if you want an upper. But if you've trained your body to consume fat for energy rather than glycogen, bulletproof satiates that for a bit, so it's a nice breakfast replacement.
I know the NYT article said “Silicon Valley” but these “Live” guys are in LA and everybody they talked to was in Marin and SF.

The valley suburbia has its own looney pretentious (mostly boring nimbyism, honestly) but this kind of crap seems to get traction only where the anti-vaxxers hang out.
What you described is shitty. What I described is fundamentally destructive to society.

> Coding/design tests

Left tech years ago, but assumed that many/some of those tests and sample projects were employer attempts to procure free labor w/o any of the burdens (liability) of internships and employment.

> Rounds of interviews

Perhaps its helpful to look at the whole process from a different vantage point. Saw an article on CNBC a few days ago about the importance of, essentially, seeming desperate and wholly committed to whatever position it is one is applying/interviewing for. Seem too smart... too ambitious... have options for doing something else if this doesn't work out... etc? Don't expect to get hired. I can actually attest to that.

Anyway, the implication is that if you are still available and willing to go through rounds of interviews, you probably aren't 'all that desirable' in the first place. Yes, there is some irony there. But I know this having spoken w/ a # of HR people.

> Feedback:

-- Dear Paul, Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha NO.--

Yeah, that would be, at a minimum, courteous, but...
Workers are for the most part, commodities. As such, feedback isn't merited. Could say more here, but won't.

> How to deal

Obviously, each person's situation is different, but my experience tells me the best solution is to position oneself for independence (as much as is possible in a society). While in my last job, I pretty much decided that I'd focus on (hopefully) not needing another job. And while I didn't get everything right, I think that mindset and planning was instrumental in me pretty much being able to walk away from a job market that is pretty stacked against the typical applicant.

I know tech is supposedly immune to such stacking, but...
Last year I listened to an applicant's conversation with a recruiter. The applicant was getting robbed, so much so that a guy, who I think was/is homeless, told the applicant as much. I mean are people really going through all this work to get paid $25/hr... in California???

Yikes!
Looks like IBOC DAB like HD Radio has, at best, an audio codec rate of 96 kb/s. A CD has 2 x 16 bits x 44,100 samples per second = 1,411,200 b/s of audio data (doesn't include FEC).

Seems to me that even with the best codec there's going to be loss going from 1,411 kb/s to 96 kb/s.

So, HD Radio cannot achieve CD quality.

The analog "Accuphase" T-101 FM tuner gives 70 dB SNR, guaranteed. http://www.accuphase.com/cat/e-202en.pdf

That's equivalent to about 12 bits dynamic range, so already we see that analog FM is not as good as CD. If we take also the fact that the highest frequency is 15 kHz on analog FM, let's set the sample rate at (wave hands) 32 k sample/sec; so the 'equivalent' best-case uncompressed digital rate that's equivalent to the best analog FM is 2 x 32000 x 12 bit/sample = 768 kb/s. Given that when you add in that stereo pilot at 19 kHz and then do the L-R and L+R de-muxing thing in analog, you lose more dBs in SNR, wave hands and say the 'true' non-compressed equivalent of analog FM is around 500 kb/s. AAC gets 50% +/- 10% compression, so we're down to 250 kb/s.

So, it's hard to see how HD Radio can claim it is 'as good as' old-fashioned analog FM.
They seem to have solved proof-of-storage, but the network can’t guarantee the available of the files you pay to store! A profitable strategy:

1. Set up a miner on AWS. You’ll only need a small machine as you’ll persist the data in S3.

2. Accept bids for storage, and use your free ingress bandwidth to copy the data into S3

3. Calculate and publish your proofs of storage so your Filecoin (held in escrow after your successful bid) is released.

4. Refuse all bids to access the content - egress bandwidth costs money!

5. Win! You’ll always be able to undercut other miners when bidding for storage as they have to bake in bandwidth costs in their bids, and you strategy is easily scalable (as you can pump as much data into S3 as you need - you’ll only need to get more machines to calculate more storage proofs).
Thanks for making me spend more money on books... :)

Since development of medications is such a heavily regulated industry, it seems to me the correct course of action is through regulation. Require a testament of some sort of the drugs' tested effects on different races. Or maybe require that test groups be representative of the population.

The most promising area here to me seem like automl.
The promise of the new machine learning was that we get to move away from tedious feature engineering and everything will work and be simple. It may have become simpler but training/debugging new DL models is still painful causing the focus to move to extensive hyperparameter search. automl may become the next step in abstraction, where we design single models/algorithms that are able to build viable networks for many tasks/purposes.

What is the purpose of prisons?

If it is penitence and rehabilitation, this makes no sense.

If it simply to incarcerate people for a while to make their lives difficult and make them not want to reoffend, this makes the wardens’ and guards’ life more difficult.

I suppose if the objective is to demonstrate righteous wrath and judgement then this is a good idea. However such demonstration is not likely to make society safer.
