Well it can go either way. I'm fed up with misguided developments in both hardware and software of smartphones – both Apple and Androids – and have lost all excitement I used to have about that. Same goes for some of my family.

I am not loud about that because I don't care anymore because none of the devices on the market suit my needs, and I gave up on that ever changing.

I think my case is more common than any loud opinions out there.
If that is generally true, then Tesla is squandering a golden opportunity. If they have the cachet to attract top-tier talent, they should take it.

You can't assign an already open tab as that would require cookie merging in a lot of cases, but there is a related solution. It took me a few weeks to realize what it was (but once I did, it all clicked, and works well now).

You select a container to open a new tab, then open what you want in it (type/paste link).

After you are on that URL in a container, the container control panel has an option to always open that domain (path too?) in that container. Check that.

Next time you paste a URL/link or follow a link to that domain, there will be an interim page asking you whether you want to open in the container the link came from, or the one you specified you always want it to open in. You can check a box to make that the default from then on.

Before I realized this is how it works, I was looking for a way to submit something like this as a feature request. After I realized it, the number of containers I used exploded, since I just default domains to always open in their containers and it's fairly transparent now.

As a real world example, I have a "Reddit" container, and a "Google - Personal" container (and a "Google - Work" for work G Suite stuff). I don't have Google default to anything (but I have some containerized pinned gmail tabs), but I do have youtube default to "Google - Personal". I have reddit default to "Reddit". I can view /r/videos and stream embedded and the views and tracking is in Reddit's container, but if I click to follow a youtube video to youtibe.com, it loads in the "Google - Personal" container and I can like or subscribe as I want.

At this point I have containers for banking, shopping, github+stackoverflow, facebook (I don't use it much at all, but at least this allows me to be logged in and worry less about tracking), Pandora, Reddit, Work/Home google, News (for a recent WaPo subscription), and I'm probably going to add a few more (including HN) within the next few weeks.
Erm. Is it? Or is it more like the X15?

It definitely doesn't look like it'll shoot more than 10 feet (unlike the XM-42, which costs a couple hundred more bucks and is definitely illegal in CA). This just looks like a butane torch in a 3d printed case that will get you arrested if you walk around with it in public.
I'd really like there to be a law that allows you to opt-out of credit reporting agencies. This would work similarly to the do-not-call list - I give them my social and they are instructed to disregard any data they receive that's associated with that number, and will destroy whatever information they currently have about it.

Doing this potentially locks you out of getting credit, but if you can do it on a per-agency basis, then it's a good way for individuals to punish bad actors like Equifax. If even 10% of Americans opted out after the breach, their business would be over, the remaining agencies would have proper motivation to improve their security standards, and it would open a gap in the market that a better run startup could move into.
iCloud photo library syncing is a mess, to put it politely. The number of things you can do that accidentally trigger a full re-upload of your entire photo library is a minefield. Don't get me started on photoanalysisd either... Having re-uploads/photoanalysisd run repeatedly on large libraries is not fun.

http://tidbits.com/article/17757

Increasingly the Google Photos iOS/desktop uploader apps offers a significantly more robust sync experience for me on my Apple devices.

The pricing is fine until you hit the 2TB cap (very easily done if you use Family Sharing especially), at which point you are hosed. Even offering the ability to pay $x per GB over this cap would be a lifeline. Again Google have much better options for this. That the default free amount of storage hasn't changed in years from 5GB for all your devices is arguably pretty mean in 2018.
Here's a version for fish, goes in ~/.config/fish/config.fish

echo_color "c-d Delete forward"
echo_color "c-h Delete backward"
echo_color "c-k Delete forward to end of line"
echo_color "c-u Delete entire line"

And a slightly optimized bash version (YMMV):

It's still a manual process, but it takes about 20 seconds to generate an Android Gradle project, build an apk, build a release apk, and push it with adb.

The next step would be connecting a form to it so everything is done automatically. Maybe push the app to Google Play through their API.

>There is no such thing as a hardware wallet

Their absolutely is. A hardware wallet can take unsigned transactions and sign them internally, and output a signed transaction. Your private key never leaves the hardware wallet.

Compare this to signing a transaction with a private key on a computer. Your computer can have spyware that can snoop on the key and steal your coins.

The hardware wallet has a burned ROM with a firmware that is signed and verified every time you use it.
Nope. This determines how the image is rendered within the img element. The img element itself won’t be constrained in its aspect ratio. E.g. try adding a border or drop-shadow to the img and you’ll see the problem.
This basic idea is a fairly well-known LE practice:

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

(A similar thing is done with bikes in some places.)
Nope. See my comment above.
Indeed, I certainly noticed this disparity. My background is in Engineering (Robotics) and I am very capable of writing full fledged software - from FreeRTOS/ARM Cortex apps for embedded robotics to your typical engineering scripting (Matlab, Python). I've worked on a few major ROS projects and have an excellent grasp of C/C++.

I find this "Education degree" based pay bias a little bit absurd. Of course, there is the demand/supply thing that should settle the equilibrium in a fluid job market -- but the reality is that non-software engineers that can also write software are underpaid. There is equal or more complexity in dealing with the interface of hardware and software (Robotics) as with any other "pure" software development task. I would love to hear more from the software folks on HN.

I think pay should be based on the specific job role not Engineering degree.

Hi there,

You're right that it's tricky to make a direct comparison between different shaped optimization domains, however in the comparison animation each algorithm was given an optimization domain of equal area. For comparisons in higher dimensions it is up to the user to specify optimization domains with equal content.

Simple's runtime performance is not affected by the size of the optimization domain, however any global optimization algorithm will necessarily need to make more samples to chraracterize a higher dimensional space because these spaces inherently have more content to explore. Essentially the runtime performance of the algorithm and its sample-efficiency are two orthogonal concepts. Simple promises to be at least as sample-efficient as Bayesian Optimization while offering significantly lower computational overhead. Its main selling point isn't improved sample efficiency so much as better performance.

Does that answer your questions?

EDIT: Regarding the appropriate problem dimensionality, that will tend to depend quite a bit on the specific optimization problem. Simple is a global optimizer, so for extremely dimensional problems like training a deep neural net it would not be appropriate because the optimization domain would be too massive. The algorithm needs more testing, but as a rule of thumb I would say that anything under 500 dimensions is feasible.
So what you're saying is that the failed mission had a wrench thrown into it by the Russians? :)

> So you call it easy to configure together 7 different systems just to get a working mail server?

Yes, with the qualification that I brain farted on cyrus (not using that for mail) and you can just as easily skip the two dkim packages (which were a bit tedious to figure out).

Postfix works out of the box. Diffing the stock main.cf with mine the differences are: new additions that never made it into my main.cf, a few lines to enforce stronger TLS ciphers (optional), a manual blacklist (optional), virtual domain stuff (also optional), milter lines for dkim and spf (optional), a line to deliver to procmail instead of directly to a mailbox (optional), and a line to enable mail relay access to authenticated users (also optional). You could install postfix and have a good experience out of the box.

Dovecot: a line to enable verbose process names (optional), a stanza to enable the SASL backend (optional), a line to specify which keys to use for TLS (mandatory), a few lines to up per-user limits (optional). Setting up SSL is going to be the hardest part, and even that shouldn't be too bad.

Procmail: A couple lines to pipe everything to spamassassin and deliver to a mailbox or a spam folder. This may be considered tricky by some but procmail is ancient and, in my experience, examples abound.

Spamassassin: No changes. In fact I think I've ripped out most of my custom config except for some whitelist stuff.

Four packages and you'll have a working SMTP and IMAP server. No, I don't think that's difficult. Wrangling an OpenLDAP install, sure that's difficult. This? No. Scaling it out to hundreds or thousands of users is trickier, but not something the typical home user would need to bother with.

For everything above there's actually quite good documentation. What's difficult is figuring out which packages to install in the first place and deviating from the stock configurations for the little extras you may want, but even then the big challenge is in taking the time to read the documentation and figuring out which features you want. Maintenance is trivial, although I probably should update my postfix config to get it in line with the current config syntax.

Better despends on your perspective.

There’s financial and social problems associated with the 401k model, namely that people won’t or can’t save enough or invest well. You’ll see the impact in a few years as the numbers of impoverished former middle class seniors increase.

With the pension model, you fund, manage it responsibly and you have a sustainable system that benefits all.

I live in a state with a constitutional guarantee of public pensions. I take a 35% pay hit, plus 10% to my own savings today for the ability to retire at 55.

All big companies were able to afford this model, but the changes to tax law incentived then to ditch pensions.
Wow, oil company offers vs Tesla...

Hi there,

I'm currently away from my computer but I can produce a comparison animation in a few hours. While I am biased, I strongly suspect that Simple will have superior sample efficiency and at least similar performance.
"Her repeated objections and pleas that they "slow down" were all well and good, but they did not square with the fact that she eventually gave Ansari oral sex."

It's deceptive to construct the narrative this way given that, by her own account, she readily accepted oral sex from him first with no indication of rejection. Of course, that isn't inherently consent for anything further, but the author depicts the encounter as some kind of hostage situation from the outset.
I shouldn't admit it, but I have some tricky memory leak in a node.js server for my app - I spent an evening trying to find it, but in the end I just added daily restart of an app to cron, and it works beautifully ever since :).

I doubt this would work.

There are really only 3 vendors for this data, and most banks seem to have exclusive contracts by region for which data source they consult.

This, of course, goes hand in hand with the plummeting amount of national banks available in the US. We're really down to Wells Fargo, Citi, Chase, BOA, and one or two others.

In my experience, my two credit unions -- and credit unions kind of suck anyway -- are only set up with a single CRA.

So people have few choices of creditors and have very little negotiating power.

I think the right answer is for there to be exactly one CRA and for it to be a pseudo-public and very heavily regulated.
What tax law caused a 111% tax rate? Western digital reported results yesterday, and they had a similar claim
Why would anyone invest in these bonds? By doing so, you're essentially investing in the State of Illinois as your hedge fund/bond manager (depending on the returns promised).

Usually with a muni-bond, they are using the money for some sort of public infrastructure and then paying the interest either from fees gained through the use of that infrastructure (like a bridge or power plant) or through taxes.

Here though the state is flat out saying, "we're gonna invest in the market, which you can also do, and hope we get better returns than you do so we we can skim some off the top".
When compressed sizes can still matter as the payload size increases.

REST is the language the rest of the web speaks so if providing a consumer service that isn't latency sensitive you should feel at liberty to give a RESTful API.

If you're building internal services, consumed internally, gRPC is a decent way to go.

If say you're providing a logging service to a number of large customers you might want to provide a gRPC service for the performance characteristics.

gRPC also provides you the option to write all your services internally using gRPC and then you can expose a JSON service without having to write it yourself.
You can always use ctrl-[ instead of esc.
It's not an implication, just curiosity. Some claim Soros shorted MGM shortly before the Vegas shooting. Could be coincidence or just a rumor (i.e. misinformation)...

Easy to verify one way or the other.

Edit:

Unless I'm reading this wrong, there's a PUT for 42242 shares of MGM RESORTS INTERNATIONAL effective 20170814. The Las Vegas shooting was 20171001.

Either way, this gets into murky territory. I'm not implying whether Soros had insider information, but the timing & circumstances will certainly raise questions. I'm sure one can read between the lines re: taking investment advice from Soros. I regret coming across as being confrontational. Just FYI...YMMV.

States like New York that funded its pensions are ok. Illinois did not.

Unions don’t run public pension plans. So it really doesn’t make sense to throw around the anti union bullshit. When you are more corrupt and inept than NY government, you need to look at how you elect your legislature.
Latest US tax reform included a one-off transition tax on previously untaxed foreign earnings. As a percentage of this years earnings, it is 111%. But, really it is paying tax on parts of previous years earnings that they didn't pay tax on at the time, not this years earnings.
