Sadly junker bike gets stolen as much if not better, because it's easy to scrap.

I know, my beloved piece of shit mountain bike has been stolen, it had zero value (had no seat, one pedal missing, cheapest ruined part everywhere, ugly) except for sentimental one. Yet it's gone.
I would like to take a moment and say how invaluable I have found online tools to maintaining a modern friendships. I met people in ventrillo playing counter strike in my early college days right after getting out of the Marine Corps who still show up on our various mumble servers on the reg, over 10 years later. Some of them live across in the world. Germany. Sweden. GB. Thousands of miles are nothing for online friendships.

I wish the page had a short explanation on how the bubble index was calculated.

From the PDF:
The Index score is a weighted average of the following five standardized city sub-indices: priceto-income and price-to-rent (fundamental valuation), change in mortgage-to-GDP ratio and change in construction-to-GDP ratio (economic distortion) and relative price-city-to-country indicator. The price-city-to-country indicator in Singapore and Hong Kong is replaced by an inflation-adjusted price index. The approach cannot fully satisfy the complexity of the bubble phenomenon. We cannot predict if or when a correction will happen. Hence, “bubble risk” refers to the prevalence of a high risk of a large price correction.
What if that kindle was $25, but every time you wanted to use it, you had to watch a 30s ad and then while reading give up 20% of the screen for a banner ad? Still wanna buy/use that kindle?

I think what GP is trying to say, from my perspective, is where does it stop? All this effort just to get the end user to consume more and more. The brainpower that's being wasted on delivering ads! Could that not be used to solve actual -- real -- problems instead? Why is delivering ads such a big problem that we're spending so many resources and so much effort on it?

You pay $50 for that kindle and save some money, but don't fool yourself into thinking it's not costing you -- really use as a civilization -- a lot more.
As the author of Sandstorm, I'm going to say: "ehh... maybe."

There's still some big differences between Sandstorm and Docker's sandboxes -- not as big as there used to be, but non-trivial. For example, Docker mounts /proc, albeit read-only; Sandstorm doesn't mount it at all. Docker lets the container talk to the network; Sandstorm gives it only a loopback device and forces all external communication through one inherited socket speaking Cap'n Proto. In general, Sandstorm is willing to break more things to reduce attack surface; Docker puts more priority on compatibility.

So is it "secure"? That's not a yes/no question. Security is about risk management; you can always reduce your risk further by jumping through more hoops. There will certainly be more container breakout bugs found in the future, including bugs affecting Docker and affecting Sandstorm. There will probably be more that affect Docker, because its attack surface is larger.

There will also be VM breakouts. VM breakouts appear to be less common than container breakouts, but not by as much as some people seem to think. Anyone who makes a blanket statement that VMs are secure and Docker is not does not know what they are talking about.

The only thing I'd feel comfortable saying is "totally secure" is a computer that is physically unable to receive or transmit information (airgapped, no microphone/speaker, etc.), but that's hardly useful.

In general, if you are going to run possibly-malicious code, the better way to reduce your risk is not to use a better sandbox, but to use multiple layered sandboxes. The effect is multiplicative: now the attacker must simultaneously obtain zero-days in both layers. For example, Google Chrome employs the V8 sandbox as well as a secondary container-based sandbox.

In Sandstorm's case, the "second layer" is that application packages are signed with the UI presenting to you the signer's public identity (e.g. Github profile) at install time, and the fact that most people only let relatively trustworthy users install apps on their Sandstorm servers. (For Sandstorm Oasis, the cloud version that anyone can sign up to, application code runs on physically separate machines from storage and other trusted code, for a different kind of second layer.)
I'm not sure how fast their FastPhotoStyle approach is, but a TensorFlow implementation of the original neural style transfer can take upwards of 20 minutes to create the final stylized image. If someone had the pre-trained model and neural net code in JS to read it and you could do it all client side then it would be possible, but still very slow.
Quirky Chips (2012)
Yes, absolutely I'd rather be wearing a seat belt designed to to a 20 mph spec in a 60 mph crash than no seat belt at all. I'd take anything at all to slow down my body/brain from coming to a complete stop.

The sudden stopping is what kills. If the only thing slowing down my brain is my skull then that is worst case scenario, unless of course, my skull shatters, then I guess my brain slows down at a more acceptable rate as it spills onto the road.

I'll take anything at all between my brain and a hard object trying to rapidly impart some force unto it. A helmet does this very well.
Waze's interface looks like a child's toy, representing its users as fat sperms with wheels. Also, I don't want to take 100 side roads to save 3 minutes and I don't care where the police traps are. They're not pulling me over while I'm going 35 in traffic.

As for Apple Maps vs Google Maps, whichever comes up when I shot at my device for directions is what I use. No real preference, so long as I don't have a robot voice shouting at me.
One more reason to hate javascript as used and abused by modern "webdevs" and block it all unless absolutely necessary. I try very hard to keep my pages pure css and html.

FWIW, I observed that 'conversational UI' and chatbots came from the western tech industry trying to 'learn' from the successes of Asian platforms like WeChat.
Sure, it's a cartoon example. But I think the broader point, that businesses can afford to invest quite large amounts to reduce labor costs, is not very controversial.
Funny definitions of common embedded terms
I've been plugging away at my SaaS app for many years. Have bounced around on the "low-touch" vs "high-touch" spectrum as well as on pricing. I am in agreement with most of the article. If I could do it over again, I'd focus on finding a good niche of "low-touch,high-price". Sure you say "that's obvious", but if so, why are there so many people trying SaaS companies that are not? If you are considering Stripe, you are already off the mark. You should be having Quickbooks send quarterly or annual invoices for at least $10K. Companies will happily pay if you are solving some problem that is costing them $50K per year.

There are still so many opportunities to reduce IT costs through SaaS. I've been in software a LONG time, and I think this is a golden age, with things like AWS and Azure and third-party horizontal services for pretty much everything. Just find your niche of companies that have issues that nobody is addressing. Help them automate tedious and time-consuming things like reporting and dataflow. Help them with regulatory compliance. Think of it as consulting where they also pay for platform services.

I also take issue with "investors love SaaS". The margins just aren't high enough to make it worth the risk. You might find an investor willing to do a deal for cash flow. But I think this is like Stripe - if your thinking VC capital, you're already off the mark. Your customers need a solution and they will be your investors.
slow clap :D
Graphs show up all over the place. Social media: who is connected, which people interact. Cybersecurity: which computers/programs/users interact with which other computers/programs/users. Retail analytics: which products are bought with which other products; which products are more important in a graph than others.

Basically, any problem where you can establish relations between elements can be treated as a graph. I've used graphs for image analysis before too: pixels are vertices, edges represent neighborhood relations - especially useful when you make nonlocal connections (e.g., nonlocal means; graph-cut methods for segmentation; etc...)

I've worked with them in three of the above contexts: cybersecurity (my current projects), retail analytics, and image analysis. I've avoided social network stuff - never cared for that area much.
Thanks! I had no idea.
Because becoming essentially Chrome only is the antithesis of their core business model of getting as many eyeballs as possible. Not particularly good for the web either.

From a technical standpoint it wouldn't surprise me if people start proposing binary formats that beat text/plain + gzip in size and speed.
Tech person here, I think AMP is the bee's knees and it should be shoved down media creators' throats. Media property owners have shoved garbage down our throats, complained when we installed ad-blockers to keep from being damaged, and this is sweet revenge.

I'm more than happy to admit that some icon in search results (not the AMP icon as that's already in use) should highlight performant websites but it should be held to as high of a standard (if not higher) than what AMP expects and revoked swiftly when the offending site strays from the expected standards.
The 16TB unit says 12W when active. Probably not much over 20W under use for this one at most. That would put it in the range of a 15k scsi hdd.
I used to live close to a factory district here in Brisbane which had a persisting hum. One night, I apparently half woke up, swore, put on underpants and rode out on my bike to find it. I remember coming back to bed, I don't remember what drove me to try and track this stuff down. I kind of wish I had found it because having a guy in his jocks knock on the factory door at 3am shouting about the noise would have been good free entertainment.

I now live in an Apt complex built over where I was riding. The hum has gone. Its been replaced by another one, but I know what it is: the freezer truck supplying the 7-11 downstairs has a noisy motor and they keep it running doing the milk delivery. No underpants rides at night for me.
I'd like to see a review of how the various navigation apps do in situations with unusually heavy, unusually widespread traffic, such as when people were trying to go home after the 2017 total eclipse in the US.

I was using Waze when leaving Madras, Oregon, after the eclipse heading to the Puget Sound area of Washington. It suggested a route that would bypass a couple miles of slow traffic, but the road it sent me down was a dirt road with a periodic undulation in it that caused massive vibration, and my car and the two or three others that were on it were throwing up so much dust it was very hard to see. I turned around and went back to the main route and put up with the slow traffic.

A friend of mine was also leaving Madras, but heading to California. He was using Google. It also was giving some poor route advice. Here's what he told me when we compared notes of our trips home:

> Google kept sending us onto logging roads: we bailed on the first when we were told to turn onto a non-existent road; we bailed on the second when a van came out and told us that ~5 cars were stuck axle-deep in mud; we bailed on the third when we got to a sign informing us that we were about to enter an off-road-vehicle trail.

I'd also like to see a review of how the various cell phone companies handled it. Both me and my friend are on T-Mobile, and something like 90% of the text messages we tried to exchange were either lost or delivered hours late. I think we managed one or two short voice calls. Most voice calls either did not connect, or on occasion would connect but only one of us could hear the other.
Oooooh no I'm going to get back on nerding this 100 % of my time :'(
Because one is a free and open standard where you actually own your data.
Responded to someone else earlier about this. Used solvers for problems that end up requiring solutions to problems like minimum set cover or schedule optimization problems. Basically, problems where a naïve or brute force approach will take forever to run and you need to use a real solver to attack it. These usually are data problems that end up looking like what would traditionally be considered under the umbrella of operations research.
I'm well aware.
I am sure there are tons of examples of cross-border nuisances. Probably since the beginning of borders. This is not a new issue.
> Social networking - Enabling more meaningful and greater connection between people, leading to greater happiness and fulfillment?

I don't believe that this was a serious motivation for any of these companies for a second. That might have been in the press release, but most of these social networks were either born from Geocities-begets-Myspace incrementalism, or "watch these idiots give away their personal data" egocentrism.

An abridged survey of recent history:

Snapchat: it'd sure be easier to sext if these pictures disappeared

Instagram: it's easier to take a pic than write something

Twitter: pivot from failing product to internal tool

Facebook: privacy invasion as a service

Myspace 2.0: maybe we can make money off napster?

Myspace: Geocities clone

Geocities: AOL clone for the World Wide Web

AOL: Prodigy clone

Prodigy: Walled garden for selling Usenet access

Napster: OK, this one was probably the only one motivated to enable more meaningful and greater connections between people, leading to greater happiness and fulfillment

Unless you're the 1% of websites you probably should implement AMP if you want fast loading (from search or news aggregators at least) because nothing is going to beat cached content loaded inline.
Nobody has said amygdala yet so I will. There. It's out there. If you're under 25, you don't have a fully formed amygdala, and you're open and receptive to rash ideas. Diving off the roof of a house into the pool. riding on the back of utility trucks with no seat. Drinking scotch from the bottle. Forming friends. Then you grow up.
Interesting, I use AirBnB quite a lot and like their UI (I primarily use the desktop version, though). Why do you think their website sucks?
I think the key for 'scene' type demos is more that the code is run in some particular environment, and the impressive part is how far the demo stretches the capabilities of the environment, and how creatively it presses against the constraints.

280 characters of R+ggplot generating art is at least cute. It's a powerful environment, but constrained input data.

I mean, no one's going to say that a demo like kkrieger isn't impressive (the famed "96KB FPS") despite using 3D rendering APIs and such, right?
You know, if you are going to assert something contrary to common belief, you really should include some arguments.
Until you do, I am going to simply assume you're mistaken.
IIRC all that pin does is slow things down. Legally they can't prevent you from porting your number, and if you can verify your identity another way they will ignore the pin.

There just isn't any way around it, phone numbers are just not secure.
DNA sequencing is mature and, if anything, almost getting to be late in the game for new startup entries. Determining gene function through ML methods is a whole different thing, and that's what I, and the OP, was talking about. Are we all responding to the same article here?
For me it's not the time to make a friend that's a problem, it's the time required to find someone worth being friends with. In fact in many ways I think posting on the internet is more enjoyable (in the short term) than trying to make a new friend because you can have good, yet ephemeral, conversations
My two cents: make it easier for people to see know what it is.

I'm not entirely sure from a brief scan - is it team wiki software? Is it sorta like trello cards but for archival/searchable org information?

As someone who is actually looking at team wiki software for a couple startups and nonprofits I'm helping I can tell you that my threshhold for signing up for a trial (even no CC required) is pretty high so don't let that discourage you.

Oh, I am sorry. I did not realize that you are defending communists. I guess killing more people than Nazis is OK, as long as they were the wrong kind of people...

And seriously, if the best criticism of The Black Book is that it compares Nazis and communists, I do not see what the problem is... other than that communists are quite a bit worse. Criticism of "Death camps did not exist in the Soviet Union" is laughable on its face.
My work recently paid for me to do an R training course - the consultant who delivered the training (via skype) used a Juypter notebook to deliver the entire course.

Imagine a power point presentation but with code samples which can execute inside the slide without ever leaving the presentation.

I thought it was pretty nifty. I don't know how many programming languages it supports but seems like a good training tool. When I was at university (back in 2003) the lecturer would constantly switch from their powerpoint slides to Emacs in order to demonstrate code this seemed like a more streamlined version of that.
That is somewhat inconsistent though. Actually the opposite is what's annoying me me with all 3 mappings app.

You bother picking a route but then the app decides that it knows better, all it takes is deviating ever so slightly from the route, which means anytime the app is confused for some reason (parking lot, gas station, ...) it takes over.

In London, much prefer dumber application that because of lack of by the second traffic optimisation try to redirect you back on the main roads. In the country side that's another matter though, going toward one highway ramp or keeping the scenic route for 2 more village can mean half an hour time difference depending on traffic pattern.
Looks great! Personally I'd love an option to filter the RSS feed - I'm looking for an internship and if I could get a feed of only the listings containing the word "intern" that'd be great. Maybe a keyword passed as a query string in the url?
It "provides protection" by not backing any data up anywhere, so if the phone it is on is wiped, the codes can't be recovered.

It's a blessing and a curse, but with a bit of work (like backing up all codes at creation time) it's a non-issue for me that I actually appreciate.
salsa, really? some people just shouldn't be allowed name things :) hehe

Still cool,
Oh dear God, no. 20-somethings... have a bit of living to do before they're interesting.

Don't get me wrong, being 20 is awesome. When you're 20. Because you suddenly have so much freedom. But when you're in your 40s, that's not that exciting any more. Well, at least it isn't for me. I've done the crazy things, I know how they end. I like friends with a bit more perspective.
Not bad for a side project :). I work in drug dev and dont understand the technical side of Ai one bit, but from conversations with folks who do (at big companies and universities) the compute resources and models certainly are challenges, but the lack of good datasets is the real bottleneck

What's your thesis / search space if you dont mind me asking? Ie virtual structure or ligand based screening with structure or affinity data, machine vision for analyzing cell based assays or histology slides etc, lead optimization, mining annotated genomic data etc

my guess is a fair amount of the upvotes were from men. deep down i think men do realize that we have gaps in our coping skills, but don't fully understand the cause.
I'm confused. The attached NY Times video clip has a very audible and noticeable hum and throb – it can't be just infrasound. Is that the actual hum people are hearing/not hearing? Or is it an attempt to reproduce it, perhaps?
I've tried out many major versions which add new features (MVCC in 3.x was a game changer IMO). But it's just difficult to convince a lot of engineering teams these days to use MongoDB because of all the negative reviews floating around.
When people focus on things other than the startup. Consulting projects, "side projects", full time jobs. When everyone is fully on board, they find a way.
