> I can't see why you wouldn't develop your enterprise software using it... because it's no different from any other stack

From a .Net perspective, the article authors, it's the debugging challenges that are the major salient difference between WPF and UWP. Considering the demands those frameworks place on developers who are making 'innovative' GUIs there are numerous things that can go terribly wrong at run-time. A lack of relevant debugging tools and a hop between technologies could be a showstopper for some.

COM + .Net competence, like competence with the Win32 API, is somewhat generational. Younger .Net developers are not versed in these things, and those who are command significantly higher salaries and are increasingly less likely to be doing front-end work over time.

If you're dealing with Enterprise customers, or development in the Enterprise, there are real costs associated with moving your baseline developer requirements into specialist territories.

Anyone with small channels, remember that you can turn off ALL ads for your videos (under Channel -> Advanced) if you're not going to get your cut, as small as it may have been. Surely that option will also be taken away eventually, but for now it's still there.

What I find most interesting is that immediately the top comments on the post are all channel owners asking for subscriptions from other channel owners in exchange for subscribing back.

To be honest these new thresholds seem entirely too low to do any good. The spammers and scammers can easily reach the thresholds. But small scale operators who aren’t interested in gaming the system will be the hardest hit.
I was involved in starting one of America's biggest ISP's back in the early 90's - I won't name which one, but it was #2 for a while - and I can say that things have radically changed from the way they used to be. But, I don't believe that the fact that "its hard" is a reason not to do it - I think we really need to return to the days of Mom&Pop BBS'es and locally-maintained and operated NOC's in neighborhoods that really need it.

Which is why I think its great that we have social movements such as Funk Feuer (https://www.funkfeuer.at) to look at today, point, and say "thank god for the kids!", keeping the original 'net spirit alive.

1. The old requirement is 10k lifetime views.

2. The new requirement is 4000 annual hours and 1000 subs.

3. The default limit on a new YouTube account is videos of at maximum 15 minutes.

So for a new/low profile user, they're effectively requiring at least 16k annual views vs the previous 10k lifetime. Also, many videos are shorter than 15 minutes, so make that 20k. Except a view is counted for 10% of the video, not 100% so really the number is much larger again.

This isn't changing the numbers to favour smaller active channels over small channels that have just been around long enough, it's massively raising the requirements however you look at it.

I have put out 10-12 videos over the last few years, with 14k views and 2 subscribers, though frequent content and plugs in the video will obviously get a higher subscribe rate. I don't care in this case, I never bothered to turn monetisation on, but I can see someone who'd put more effort in more recently feeling like it's wasted.
Ah yes again with the "I told you so" posts. Even though basically everyone that has been in the market before December is still significantly in the green. But no, THIS is probably the time cryptoassets are dead
In the past I've used a single repo with all the code which gets pushed everywhere, and each service only runs it's portion of the code. No guess work involved, but this may not work for a lot of setups of course. That and your graceful restart logic has to be slightly more involved.

Turns out this is a great example of why tests are better than documentation.

One way to implement this is by using two methods: one normal and one with the hardware mitigation code, with a dispatch that chooses between them.

This separation of concerns ensures that your normal code runs normally on normal hardware, and your specialized code runs in a specialized way on the buggy hardware.

This separation also makes it much clearer/easier to end-of-life the mitigation code when it's time.

I think some folk are missing the point that some small publishers do derive a benefit from putting up a video, even if they don't get cash from Google ads. They gain a reputation, perhaps enquiries about their business, collaboration opportunities etc etc. If I was running a smaller channel with cool content, I would definitely start hunting around for partnerships, and start marketing my own business/money source more aggressively if I could. A YT channel can even be a big benefit to a resume, no?
apparent approximation
There’s a huge difference between being a functional language and supporting functional paradigms.

Nearly every major language does the latter, but if you consider immutability a key functional feature, for example, you’ll sorely miss it when the language doesn’t really support it.
In principle it's not that bad a language; compared to Swift or Typescript or even Rust it's at a similar level of conservatively adopting a few features that have become very mainstream. Every language design has to adopt a balance between making use of improvements that are coming down the pipeline and not adopting ideas that will later turn out to be bad.

In a language built for the same platform where Scala has already been available for a decade it's very disappointing though.
I love Kotlin, it's been such a breath of fresh air at work. I hope it continues to gain adoption in backend services and not only Android, because it definitely shines at both.
The NYC Marriage Index: Searchable database of NYC marriage licenses, 1950-1995
Surreptitious DNA collection requires some level of targeted effort: someone must have a prior interest in you specifically, which is unlikely for most persons. Uploading your DNA to a database exposes you (and your relatives) to all sorts of Birthday-Problem-like mischief from persons and organizations trawling the database.

The best defense to the current threat landscape (privacy violations related to insurance, employment, and the law) is to define your genome-related queries as narrowly as possible and type/sequence only those relevant loci/regions.
I prefer Clojure as well. I'd say that Elixir probably has the better ecosystem, though, as it seems almost exclusively focused on web development via Phoenix the way Ruby was via Rails. Sure, you could use it for other things, but that is its primary use case. I'm not sure what Clojure's primary use case is.

That said, if I had a choice I'd choose Clojure every time. I just enjoy it so much more. And it has a lot of good web options: you can easily write REST APIs via Ring, build your front-end in re-frame, and use Lacinia for GraphQL endpoints.

To the OP, I'd highly recommend checking out Elixir and Clojure and spending a little time with each before ruling either out.

Agreed it is an interesting question. Humans are just far less likely to build a mono culture of vision capabilities. Such that the applicability of any adversarial examples is likely far more limited.
There are also new development fronts in specialist domains that are computationally intensive or a poor fit for web-apps.

Specifically, when WPF was launched all they could talk about were the cool 3D possibilities for doctors, researchers, and such... The reality has been less "Minority Report" than we had hoped, but those kinds of demands are growing, and very often will require the level of control over hardware that demands a desktop app.

In theory a lot of this is solvable with webapps, in practice there is a reason desktop computing environments exist :)
Ask HN: How to Seriously Start with Machine Learning and AI
Hey,

Since years I've been seeing tones of news "how machine learing did smth... " and today that's enough with just reading how other people change the world with AI. I want to join into this area and scientificly understand how it everything works - make my own projects...

-I'm a third-year Computer Science student who just has passed most of the needed courses like obj programming,python course, databases, math statistics, algebra etc... I really enjoy playing with data like projecting databases, programming backed etc...

Everything I know until today - I have learned on my own(swift, python, backend). Mostly by practice and solving problems. Now I really want to start serious journey with Machine Learning and AI.

But by making some small research which made me realised that I don't want just to implement already done frameworks for e.q face recognition (maybe I should?)
I would like to understand the topic really seriously and be able to explore this area...
---but here's a problem because I don't know how to start it. I've got enthusiasm, some ideas for a projects, but still don't know almost anything about how exactly everything works.

When I was starting with programming, I read some books, watched online lecture and bang. I started doing my own projects. How to start in this more scientifically sophisticated area?

Are there any courses, books, online lectures which you can recommend me for a start to understand how it all works? Unfortunately, my university doesn't lead any more interesting courses in this area... People here are just fascinated with it but nothing more complex...

I'm still young so why not to lose time on something that seems to be really fascinating ;)

Sounds like you leaked info from the training data into validation/test data, which will make you overfit and thus overstate the accuracy. I may have missed it, but did you evaluate the skill of this model on a holdout dataset?

A few UK companies (easynet springs to mind) had "virtual ISPs" where you pay to use all their infrastructure (hosting, email, dialup, etc.) and get branded pages / etc.

I don't think any of them have survived to the modern era though.

Good plan, but it requires a counterparty who will happily assume a long BTC position when you are shorting the hell out of futures around 17-19K USD per btc.

Normally, in commodities world, players who are on the other side of speculators are real producers or consumers locking into some price which suits them. Think airlines buying a lot of oil futures at suitable price to know what they will pay for fuel next quarter. Or farmers selling their future crop.

In BTC world, no such players exist.
moving electronic payment cost from 3% to 1% is a marginal reduction, but if we get that reduction across a few trillion in transactions it becomes real money.

Unfortunately, a lot of the cost of the 3% is providing fraud and chargeback protection that lets customers be comfortable paying online.

So, while it's conceivable that a stable block chain based payment method could revolutionize ecommerce payments, the present incarnations have trust math (before we even begin to discuss volatility's effect on suitability of a medium of exchange)
I was going off on a tangent, your comment merely reminded me of what I was referencing, so I'm sorry to have implied otherwise.

Realistically nothing will happen. Law enforcement only deals with financial crimes where they have assets to seize or their is some PR benefit. They will probably take action against a few people at the top, especially if there is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow for them, but low level shills are not worth the effort.
You could ask the same question about any class of security bug, so unsurprisingly I'd answer more or less in the same way.

For example, if you're paranoid, make your compiler be conservative, in the same way that you might address buffer overflows by using a language/compiler that inserts bounds checks everywhere.

If you're less paranoid and/or more worried about performance, invest in static analysis tools or languages with augmented type systems. After all, you only have to worry about Spectre variant 1 when handling attacker-controlled data. Tracking type info like this is already done by existing static analysis tools.

Finally, if you're not handling attacker-controlled data at all - which is the case for a lot of performance-sensitive code - you really don't want to (and don't have to) do anything about Spectre variant 1.

By the way, this is really the big difference between the two Spectre variants, and why it's a shame that they fall under the same name. Variant 2 affects all code with indirect jumps/calls, even code that doesn't ever touch attacker-controlled data. That's a huge difference between the variants.

Anyway, the bottom line is that you shouldn't punish the performance of all code over a class of security bugs that a lot of code isn't affected by. Buffer overflows haven't stopped us and shouldn't stop us from writing performance sensitive but security uncritical code in unsafe languages either.
They've reached a market position where NN doesn't really impact them much. They, now, have the cashflow to pay their way out. They can pay, smaller companies cannot, thus cementing their position in the market. Absence of NN, in an indirect way, helps them competitively by constructing artificial barriers to entry without taking the heat.

Sure ISPs have their own equivalent offerings, but dealing with one or two competitors in an area is easier than dealing with a couple of them.

If you look at the actual search results in books for "make due" in your link, you can see that they're used differently.

'Make due' and 'make do' are different phrases which mean different things. I can't see any evidence of people using 'make due' how they did (and we still do) use 'make do' today from the results in your link?
> So far, the best use case of the block chain tech is to remove the necessity for a variety of industry associations few people have ever heard of.

The same could be said of many of the early hardware and software makers of the early internet.

> The crypto currency that eventually works won't make anybody rich.

I think the bigger point I was trying to make is that we have a technology, and so far the killer app for it has been cryptocurrencies, but that we've not yet developed the technology to the point where its broader uses can come to fruition. We didn't have Facebook or Twitter in 1995, partly because of technological implications, and partly because the idea of social media hadn't been fully formed yet. These things take time, and I think there's a bright future ahead for these new technologies once they mature and people find more uses for them.

I don't think cryptocurrency will be the be-all-end-all use of blockchains, and the idea of technologies like Bitcoin may seem as quaint as services like CompuServe in the future.
Not so when their major competitors are literally part of the ISPs they have to negotiate with.

I know Netflix has pretty good penetration and awareness with customers, but people are fickle and will jump ship as soon as something better (or less shit, due to less bandwidth squeezing) is available.

Except they're the official money of a country. that is something the general people often don't understand with fiat currency. The fact that they are the official currency for a country, used to pay the salaries of state employees, and to pay taxes, as well as the central bank policy. All of this gives it an official utility, and thus an official value.

That is not always the case. Sometimes you have a Ponzi like Madoff where it may seem legit to investors but most ponzis are blatant and the people involved know it is a ponzi but think they can profit by selling it to greater fools.

Of course they will all express shock and feign ignorance when they are trying to get their money back or defend themselves from the angry people they hustled.
