> "Ultimately, Google Images is a way for people to discover information in cases where browsing images is a better experience than text."

That's my primary use of Google Images. I find that for a lot of things (at least things I'm searching for), that helps cut through a lot of the spam or generally lesser quality sites, even if the image itself isn't all that important to my search. Also, it's excellent when I don't know the specific name for an object... just use the best search terms I can think of for the object then browse images until I see one that's what I'm thinking of (or looks like it could be used for what I'm thinking of).

That said, I've also used it for grabbing images of something. But more and more often, I've used it just for searching in general.
really awesome... do u have a blog/writeup for how u did it?
Doesn't this exist? Isn't it called hiring consultants / an engineering team?

Lots of news reports about this, but none provide a link to the actual indictment...

Does it usually take awhile to get posted on the DOJ website?
Go read the 100 page fisa court memo. Go read the numerous text messages, go reread how unmasking send incidental collection works.

Our intelligence services were weaponized to spy on the opposition party illegally during an election year.

Senior FBI, DOJ, and Obama white house officials have engaged in a coordinated attempt to prevent Trump from gaining office and once in office to mire his presidency in scandal and possibly even impeachment.

All the facts are coming to light, But most commenters here are letting the media completely filter their information.

Ill be surprised if my comment sees the light of day.
At the very least it would make people more serious about locking them.
Which would mean exponentially growing testing requirements on the part of the company delivering the updates.

"Should" in an ideal world doesn't equal "should" in a world with deadlines and limited resources. It's enough work to ensure that all the features work with ONE version of an app. If you had to also test every version of the app without this or that feature update installed, you just continually multiply the testing requirements by the number of optional features.

And don't say unit testing solves this problem. The problem is in INTEGRATION testing with the whole app, which 99% of the time can only adequately be done by making the build and having a human use it. Even automated integration tools won't find things like formatting errors and buttons too small for humans to click.

I'd like to continue to maintain ONE app, please, and not `n!` app permutations.
Although there is a non snarky way to say what i was implying, i don't think it would have made much of a difference. I do feel there is an apt comparison in there if you try to apply the same critique to government services. No reason to single out private services.
Trump has been insisting that they had no collaboration with Russians; not that Russians did not interfere with the election.
I am inclined to agree with you. If this is limited to Russia waging a propaganda campaign, even if it involved selectively hacking a political organization and data dumping, then it speaks volumes as to how poorly educated and insulated from reality our citizens are. That is a deep structural problem which is our fault, and it can't be fixed simply by firewalling off the country from propaganda or demanding that Facebook filter content for validity.

That being said, if Russia is able to interfere with voter registration, voting equipment, or state election boards, that is a very different problem which needs to be addressed aggressively.
Oh I know full well what people's motivations are. Said motivations can contradict a principle without invalidating it. If people are fine playing into the erosion of the very technology that allows them to make money, that's on them. From now on, it won't be on me.
So you think the EU doesn't account for more than 4% of their worldwide revenue? It's not like the fine is for 100%.
The US has a long history of actively overthrowing governments, and backing or installing candidates that they like. It’s a little hard to take complaints of “meddling” based on people lying about their identity seriously.

Regarding improper foreign donations, there were plenty of reports of foreign donors to the Clinton foundation while she was SoS.
The main value prop for Uber hasn’t changed for quite some time, probably not much since UberX, the innovation there is pretty much done.

This puts Governments in the perfect position to disrupt Uber, if they build their own version, feature for feature (let’s face it, it’s a complex app but not that hard to copy) and mandate it on their already regulated taxis / ban uber, their user acquisition costs and marketing costs will be almost zero. They can run it without making a profit and keep fares lower or close to the current Uber position. Win win for everyone
What I still don't understand is why there isn't a Wikipedia for explorables.

3b1b's videos are excellent, but if they were interactive, open-source and in a similar model to Wikipedia, people could contribute and improve upon content that is already great.

There are great examples of what is possible with explorables, see Bret Victor, D3.js, distill.pub, observablehq etc. Just no encyclopedic model yet.
Haha no. But there's something to be said about the bimodal situation that the non-granular tiered system of benefits put people in.

Having a sharp drop in benefits once you go from nothing to a moderate income really takes the coal out of the furnace.

Interesting. What effects might result from young men spending less time working?
I don't think so. He could have given away money in a more discreet fashion and it would be evident that he did so and not have been for publicity.
My mistake. The "quote" was originally a reponse from me, based on what you said. Corrected.
I’ve been noticing a number of similar articles on HN recently. Exploring why men aren’t interested in working seems to be in vogue.
The model development pipeline is still a far cry from the maturity of the software development pipeline, and will have to get there in order to reduce the hands-on heavy lifting required for model development and deployment.

Along with packaging a trained model are things like: Snapshot/versioning of the training and test data used to create the model, versioning of the model, storing versioned models in a model registry, auto-deploying models from the registry to target environments, telemetry from deployed models.

Closest I've found is https://github.com/mitdbg/modeldb, and I've spoken to the woman leading the effort. They still have data versioning as an open question, and don't see the need. But there are training set modification, results RCA, and other use cases that drive the need to catalog training/test data with the model that results.

It'll get there. Just a question of when and how.
gonna cite that then?

They are bad arguments not because I think the end justifies the means but simply because it is very hard - impossibly hard - to imagine the intent of this law revolving around the examples you are giving. The intent of this law is to curtail some of the worst offenses when it comes to the privacy of EU citizens and that is definitely not something aimed at FB though they could very well end up in the cross hairs for enforcement because of their blatant disregard in this respect to date.

But those EU companies that are clued in as a whole are taking this pretty seriously.

Bad laws are bad laws because they have unintended consequences outside of the spirit of the law, so far I have not seen any or even a credible suggestion of such a bad consequence. Let us give it some time before we start declaring the law dead on arrival.
Do you need a background in instructional design to have an opinion on this? ;-)
This was a hard post to make. OSM was a big part of my life for many years, and I have friends in the project. I like my friends (even the ones I disagree with).

But where OSM has failed most in my view (and maybe I need to add this to the article) is that there are now free geographic datasets from local governments and without the ability to integrate them into OSM easily, and then update them (which we basically can't do), I fear OSM is going to ultimately fail at its mission
Learning to program is getting harder
What about some kind of automated approach to validation? A major difference between OSM data and something like wikipedia is that, unlike wikipedia, at least some of the OSM data verifiable. A street somewhere, does exist, in a particular spot. There must be some way to croudsource validation.
Long long ago, I used to use Yahoo, Lycos, Infoseek, etc., and then I discovered AltaVista and I felt the similarly. The algorithms and relevance wasn't as good as what Google eventually came up with, but it felt like AltaVista had results that its contemporaries weren't getting.

DDG is starting to feel a bit like AltaVista in that regard.

Bears in the Midst: Intrusion into the Democratic National Committee

I set up my domain and email server only a couple years ago and it works well, but like some of the others here who've reported success, I'm not running a big operation.
There's nothing about this that will allow a single, monopolistic entity to emerge. There are probably hundreds of "Uber-ripoff" apps out there by now. Sure, as long as someone is willing to pour VC money into it and give people subsidized rides, sure, Uber can kill off contenders and stay dominant. But the second Uber starts raising prices to extract monopoly profits, someone else steps in and undercuts them. You can probably get started in a city for a few $100k, or even less if you have an existing operation of some sort you can leverage.

The low-barrier-to-entry nature of this market is pretty much perfectly suited for market conditions to prevail and ride prices to stabilize quite near their costs.
Confusingly, there are two different things called disjoint union in mathematics. One is what you mentioned, which is indeed the coproduct in the category of sets. But another one is simply the union of two disjoint sets, which might not be too common in programming, but is used quite a lot, say, in analysis and point-set topology. Flow's use of the term obviously refers to the latter.

This is a really good point I think! Up until the last few months, I've avoided doing any math with my brain that I'm not required to do (so, no brain math since college). Just recently I've been picking up some books about the history and philosophy of math like Fermat's Enigma and Everything and More (I'm a sucker for DFW, so this was a no-brainer when math was back on my radar).

Now every evening I find myself saying out loud, "why the hell didn't the math teachers explain it like this." For example, we all learn about the Pythagorean Theorem, but why didn't we learn about the Pythagorean Brotherhood[1] a little bit? And feel just a little bit of the excitement that Pythaogoras did when he found an exposed wire of the universe and figured out how to work it.

Fun fact: Pythagoras had to pay his first pupil to listen to him. No one gave a shit, probably not too different than how kids don't give a shit today. But the kids we're teaching don't even get paid, they're told their true reward is something intangible or some vague math-fu. All this while they have a black hole for their mind in their pocket where at least the fall is comfy.

I’m sure it misses some part of what you’re looking for but there’s an old project on github called DrFTPD that does at least part of what you’re looking for, in a relatively archaic manner. It’s designed for a distributed FTPD across WAN links. It also has mirroring / striping, user accounts, etc. I’m sure you could find some tool to help it look local if needed.
"predatory pricing"

So they're offering prices below cost and that is considered "predatory"? Last time I checked low prices are good for consumers
There was already an issue in GH, but I added a little more detail to it. Thanks for a very cool project!
This argument can be also made positive. Imagine a new update (to be on your example, the new brakes) made the car safer and the saved your life because an accident could be avoided entirely. Otherwise you would be dead. It's not only negative...

Btw. when thinking of Tesla cars.. they auto update their software remotely ;)

I didn’t mean to distract from the main point of your piece (which was a good read btw), it just made me curious in general. Maybe the only way OSM can work is by treating moderation/curation as the problem to solve?
How to Measure Resource Cost Efficiency in Public Clouds Such as AWS
correct- Im thinking a time frame of up to 25% of the patent period is fair. In other words you shouldn't patent an idea, but something that is close to being "available"

This is pretty fascinating. I think it might explain why the Spanish word for "gentleman" is "Caballero", or "horseman". It is also the word used for "knight", which makes more literal sense.
Are you ready for the Symantec distrust?
We have a politically motivated lens focused on only the Russians. Does anyone remember before the Russia hysteria it was always the Chinese hacking into our systems?

Did they actually do what is claimed? Maybe, but are they really doing anymore than anyone else? Less anyone doubt we might charge them with something they didn't do, remember we have fought wars over what countries were later proven not to do.

In the end, what was revealed by whoever is that our own democracy's greatest threat lies from within and most likely always will

'They spent thousands of dollars a month to buy advertisements on social media groups, while carefully tracking the size of U.S. audiences they reached, according to the indictment.'

This sounds like an incredibly well funded, sophisticated operation. They bought some ads and used google analytics.

Development Collective Know-How and Us
This is my gripe with Facebook and why I stopped using it. Biaaaaootch, I added people to my friends list because I want to see their posts. Ditch the dang algorithm and literally just show me everyone’s posts, in chronological order. That’s all you literally have to do. Don’t worry about me getting annoyed by spam, idiots who abuse their status updates will be blocked or defriended by me and everyone else who isnt having it. It’s self-policing. My discretion and the discretion of people on the platform is better than your dumb algorithm. But now I don’t use your app at all, because you thought you knew what’s best for me, and I kept missing out on people’s posts that I did in fact want to see, and that pissed me off more than whatever you’re trying to keep off of my newsfeed.

Your value proposition is having my entire social network on one feed. You’ve done that. That’s all you have to do. Ditch the algorithm.
According to the article they are not only doing what you describe, but if due to an error or customer service reason they refund the ride later that day, they still count it as $100 of revenue.
2600 Accused of Using Unauthorized Ink Splotches (2015)
That may be true, but the vast majority of people don't keep a stockpile of "fuck you" money in case of such situations. The path of least resistance is to lick boots and spend spend spend, not to be "insubordinate" or forego bad deals like rent-to-own from banks.
No structural comparison:

MobX will stop dependant recomputation if the new value of an intermediate recomputation is equal to the previous value.

You also have the option of using structural equality instead of reference equality (and also you can use any custom equality comparison function)

How not to Vue
Apparently in this context it is.

Basically, if I read dang correctly it is not possible to disagree, because a) she identified as being female, and b) said it was gross, c) it was mentioned in the context of abuse.

I feel like HN just jumped the shark.
Also he paid her half a million (a million in today's money) for her help. Less a wife, and more a special kind of legally protected employee.
On Debian and derivatives, you can install unattended-upgrades to get automatic security updates. See also apt-listchanges, which can send you an email detailing the changes applied.

We increasingly don't need those men in the workforce. service industry jobs will always hire a woman over a man due to sexism.
Isn't that part of the reason why they restructured and departments like Waymo are now separate from Google? I would imagine this way they have people more familiar with these types of services running things at the higher levels instead of having the same CEO and other administrative roles managing a bunch of unrelated or loosely related products.
Thank you, very helpful! In Firefox you can make a Keyword Search shortcut for this by:

The article confuses a variety of perspectives.

First, how do I, an individual, use convenience in my life, without getting drawn down bad paths? I commute by a McDonalds on the way home, when I'm hungry and exhausted. Perhaps I make alternatives easy (yummy leftovers I can pop in the microwave), perhaps I fortify myself to resist temptation (eat an apple at my desk so that cheeseburger doesn't seem as tempting), perhaps I remind myself that cooking with my spouse is part of the fun and imagine her smiling as I wield that frying pan.

Second, and different, how do I as a benevolent dictator manage convenience for those I'm responsible for? For instance, as a teacher, I want to make certain things easy (access to the right texts and helpful videos) and other things (problem sets) just the right amount of "difficult" to keep students engaged, learning, and successful.

We actually know how to do this, in general. Intensive care units are there to make everything "easy" for really sick people, but few people get trapped forever in the ICU.

The "tyranny of convenience" is a sexy title, but people always are drawn to what's easier, even before the washing machine arrived. There's probably a general cycle - we go nuts on the easy alternative, and then discover that there's more to life. E.g. "slow food", custom-configured PCs, "back to the land", etc.

Hey, do I get depressed because I planned a picnic with my friends tomorrow and today the weatherman tells me it's going to rain? Would I be worse off if I know there is a high chance of rain on my wedding which is planned next week? Would I rather want to know whether it's going to rain tomorrow so I know to prepare an umbrella, or I'd rather start every day as a complete surprise? Maybe you like it to be a complete surprise, I think I and most people would rather know. You can choose to start every day as a complete surprise and not listen to the weatherman -- sure -- but that's probably not a popular choice.

Other than that, it is a very big win to know personal genetics to me. With personal genetics, I know the weakness of mine that I wasn't aware before. For example, I know I have a higher chance of depending on drugs, so I don't touch the hard ones. I don't take pain medication unless I can't bear it.

I wrote about it a couple of days ago here, and I offer you a different perspective. http://www.tnhh.net/posts/personal-genetics-and-me.html

The indictment isn't the final wrapping of the investigation, just another stage.

The Deputy AG when questioned about the clause you're referring to would only state that this indictment makes no accusations of the sort and refused to answer questions outside of the scope of this particular indictment.

As you know, other indictments have preceded this one. Others may be to follow.

I wouldn't be quick to sum it all up based on two such words. Muller's previous work on large cases has gone on in stages, increasing in severity of charges and prominence of subject.
"Altered Carbon" is a great book and a mediocre TV show, precisely because the book explores the effect of its fictional technology on society, whereas the TV show mostly focuses on shiny visuals. I wholeheartedly recommend the book to anyone interested in exploring what our society might look like if we were to achieve our dreams of immortality.
The root comment seems to deal with the subject matter of the linked article which contains no mention of accessing political party information systems or voting systems.
Is there a real hurdle in patents on map graphics held by the major mapping companies and national organisations?

Could a goal of being truly open and complete, be incompatible with the interests of privacy, national security even?

If community involvement is lacking, I immediately thought about the cimnunies who have real interest in mapping and particularly free open mapping, such as conservationists, residents of small towns concerned about planning and in my home Sussex county, hikers always fighting losing out to farming interests over ancient byways.

But these constituencies need tools. I would immediately donate to such efforts if I knew they existed. Or a corporate like ACDSystems, who publish Deneba Canvas which while sadly lost adrift far from the software I remember, incorporated superb GIS and technical drawing capabilities. This would be the kind of marketing that traditionally worked very well, tools and support for local news stories, which use to run a long while anyway.
