I went from entrepreneur to employee. Why? Because we ran out of money and had to shut down our startup. Good or Bad? Neither, it just is. I’d rather still be an entrepreneur, but being an employee is paying the bills right now.

Thanks for putting this so clearly. That is the headache with breakpoints in complicated systems with lots of layers of indirection.

Any organization cares about their userbase as a whole. There's no distinctions. No "former users", "traitors", or "actual Firefox user base". Just "users". Because once you get past a certain number of users, you need to start looking at decisions statistically.

If 70% of users want Netflix, and the other 30% want privacy, then Mozilla is going to look at the 70%. Because that's what makes sense from any sort of organizational planning. You're not going to try to appease a tiny minority (and yes, privacy-conscious individuals are very much in the minority in the world. We may be in a bubble here on HN, but the common person is not going to give two shits about the privacy concerns we may have) when you can appease far more users by doing the opposite.

You've made it clear you are biased in this argument. Maybe try taking a step back and looking at the issue more objectively, or from the other perspective.

I'd prefer you not send any additional load to my server (this is just a side project I'm paying out of pocket for), but you are welcome to download the data yourself. There are instructions in the project README[1] to download the SQLite files I use in the project and I should have documented enough about the schema for you to know what queries to make. I am happy to answer questions via GitHub issues if you have them.

Sure, i can try to convince my immediate family. But cousins and everyone? It's too much to ask
If you're starting from scratch now as a hobbyist or novice PCB designer, I'd recommend KiCAD over Eagle. KiCAD is fully open-source and has now progressed to the point where it's viable.

Autodesk, on the other hand, has shown signs of crippling Eagle after they bought it, such that I have my doubts about Eagle being viable in 5 years.

If you already know Eagle, it's a tougher call, but if you have just begun learning, I think you're better off with KiCAD.
In terms of time, a 1-2 hour classroom every week, for 4 years, is the equivalent to a continuous month.

US Army warns the potential dangers of swarming toy drones on US soldiers
as anybody who tracks my every move, reviewed my transcripts, or listened to me rant can tell - I was never going to get a job at a top-tier tech company. but making six figures at a big solar company for a couple years, was awesome.

I quit when I realized that they were really selling a financial product to large banks by securitizing the solar tax credit... not solar to save the planet.

so, yeah... ethics. and convenience. and as much as I wanted to save the world, I knew that wasn't my way.

i hope other people can get themselves out of debt, and out of that machine. for me though... it's stressful af to be trying to make it on my own.
LPAR is the ancient, and still somewhat superior[1] version of what we call a VM or docker container today. "Logical partition".

It's funny how much of what seems new isn't, really. Mainframes had VM's figured out decades ago, in a pretty elegant fashion.

IPL is basically "initial boot", SNA was a network transport. VTAM is to SNA the same as Ethernet is to IP (roughly, I'm skipping over LU6.2/APPC/etc).

You didn't ask about CICS, but it's basically cron+middleware but better.

In fact, if you look at, say AWS, and the set of standardized services, it isn't much different from what a mainframe offered so long ago. Standard, if somewhat limited, interfaces for scheduling, load balancing, VMs, databases, "nosql", events, logging/alerting, etc. Even nods to "microservices" and other things that feel new, but aren't really. Self service is a bit new, but the rest is well established.

[1] better I/O isolation, fewer "noisy neighbor" issues for example
I'm currently going through the transition. One I've learned one fact - People, People, People. It's all about people skills. People with emotions, people with attitude, people with ego and some great people as well. And you'd learn, you have to rely on things that aren't in your control. Age doesn't matter. What matters is how mature you are. Depends on whether you can smile and move ahead even when you know its not what you think is right.
You wildly overestimate how good most people are at evaluating risks. This isn't a couple hundred bucks over a weekend in vegas we're talking about, it's peoples' life savings or retirement accounts or childrens' college funds.

If given the opportunity to invest in something with potentially extreme returns and poorly represented risks, many people will take it either because they don't understand the risk involved or are not very good at internalizing the probability that they lose money. Just look at the ICO scams that abound today or the 2008 financial crisis.

While massive deregulation is nice in spirit and would theoretically allow people more financial freedom, I can't imagine it being viable (at least without a ton more compulsory financial education).
In the USA, it's state-by-state. Some only require it of certain professionals (e.g., doctors), and others require it of everyone.
Yeah had a good play with and dive around the internals of graphql-yoga. Bunjil is intended to be pretty opinionated, and I needed to do some things a bit differently. Namely, a specific focus and opinion on security.

You could easily have Bunjil consume many upstream graphql-yoga in micro services for example.
If deep learning researchers had a strong theoretical understanding of their
own field, a "grand unified theory of deep learning" (and possibly all
learning) then they wouldn't need special tricks to do explanation .

Unfortunately, the deep learning field suffers from what John McCarthy used to
call the "Look ma, no hands" approach to AI: that's when you get a computer to
do something that hasn't beeen done before with a computer and publish a paper
to announce it without any attempt to identify and study any intellectual
mechanisms.

So the majority of deep learning papers are result papers: someone tweaks an
existing architecture, or invents a new one, to do something new, or beat the
state-of-the-art results. Theoretical papers are very few and far between and
often come from outside the field (like the Renormalisation Group paper, or
the papers on Information Bottleneck Theory).

I don't see how work like the one described in the article bucks the trend.
Visualisation may be intuitive, but any two people can see completely
different things in the same image, especially complex images of large scale
activations. The result is an interpretation method that's up to, well,
personal interpretation. What's more- this only works with vision, where
activations can sort of map to images. It's no use for, say, text, sound, or
other types of data (despite what the article says).

Articles like this tell me that deep learning researchers have basically given
up on understanding how their own stuff works in the course of their careers
and simply accept that their success must come from beating benchmarks and
producing pretty graphs.

A pitty.
At least at Google I don't think that was their original intent - the idea was to provide a way for employees to express their gratitude away from the perf context.

I don't think they should be used for perf as they are not intended to be objective feedback.
To be fair, it's market cap weighted. You could just buy every stock on the S&P too, but lots of investors prefer VOO.

If oligopoly pricing is what happens, how come things are so awesome for consumers right now with these razor thin margins and low prices?

It might help on a habitat scale, but won't help Mars on a planetary scale. There's simply not enough atmosphere on Mars.

While CO2 makes up 95% of Mars's atmosphere and 0.04% of Earth's. There's roughly the same amount of CO2 in the atmosphere of both planets. There's 500 times as much Oxygen in Earth's atmosphere than CO2. Even accounting for the size difference between the planets, you'd still need hundreds of times more oxygen than the current atmosphere could provide.
No one can prove a negative.
> you have to think about whether people with different moral aims than you are just not clever enough to see you're right, or know they're wrong but hope to profit

> You can have two good-faith actors with good (but not totally overlapping) information take up totally opposed positions because they don't see the same thing as being "right" (mistake vs. conflict)

The second quote describes a conflict, but it doesn't describe a conflict where one side knows it's wrong but is hoping to get away with it anyway. It describes an intractable conflict, one where no one is wrong.

The two choices you highlight in the first quote are a very small fraction of the possibilities, and are not a good reflexive thought to have, because if your first thought is "OK, it's one of these two options", you may not notice that you're going through life assuming, based on nothing, that everyone who disagrees with you is wrong.

Whatever you think of civilian deaths, don’t forget that we assasinated 6 US citizens without a trial. Freedoms my ass.

I have a hard time reading this as other than paranoia.

There are concerns over expectancy going flat or down. My understanding is that a few points down does not indicate the swing down has started. Should be looked at, but evidence is equally indicative of standard variance in growth.

That is, the anomaly was the constant growth in expectancy. Certainly an outlier in our histories.

And you should try harder in looking for things that are easier in life. It may not have got your life, yet. We should do what we can to spread the rewards to everyone, including you.
Out of interest, what do you think Autodesk have crippled in Eagle? I know some people aren't happy with the pricing, but functionality-wise it seems as or more usable to me.

The text of the ABC article linked above states that the bottle was found sticking out of the sand, looked like a nice old one for the shelves to the finder - and letter was discovered when the bottle was emptied of sand.

Does anybody know what material the bottle cap was made of? Since this was 1886 it couldn't have been plastic. Also I don't think any kind of metal (which most probably would have been non-stainless steel, copper or brass) would have survived the ocean and beach environments for that long.
It should be labeled or otherwise shown, but I think that semi-log is the most appropriate choice of scale for long-term price change graphs like this. I can buy linear-linear for intraday charts, but anything long-term should be log-linear IMO.
Shortly after it quotes him as saying

>We have a moral and, in more than 20 states, a legal obligation to report these findings to law enforcement,”

With that specific number, I am guessing it is indeed a requirement.

I really wish we could get some clear 4th amendment boundaries for the digital age. On the surface, I am ok with this. But paying the Geek Squad techs seems to undermine the whole point of the thing.

I don't particularly find a FBI-company party in 2008 relevant to this story. Just hopeful dot-connecting.
That's to make it difficult for a player to calculate the odds of a particular hand. The odds of the overall game are still pre-defined and regulated.

Casinos can't/won't promise that you'll make money by playing their games. Securities are generally purchased with the expectation that you'll make money, and are marketed up to the allowable line of suggesting they are good ways to make money.

Allowing people to play a game where the odds are openly against them, vs. buying a security where they're being told the odds favor them but it may be otherwise, are very different propositions when you're asking if they're "fraud".

The idea would be that they do the same on the phone, it's much easier to type than have someone try to process a CC over the phone 5494 2442 what was that again 5494 242.. etc.. It's almost impossible to secure a hotel without a CC nowadays even for pay on arrival, it will take some first movers but I'd suspect most would follow suit pretty quickly.

> The image found on Rettenmaier’s hard drive was in an unallocated space, which typically requires forensic software to find

So say someone, known or unknown, emails you a bunch of unlawful zeros and ones, you open it or it displays automagically. Or you accidentally type a web address wrong and go to unlawful pictures dot com.

Anyway, you delete the file(s) and / or clear your browser cache. Your file system deletes the entry in the allocation table (or however it works) but the drive still has the relevant magnetic / electrical charges to recover the file using a data recovery tool.

Are you still in possession of the unlawful zeros and ones if you've deleted the files in the only manner you are aware of - assuming the average person doesn't understand the underlying technology???
That's some highly impressive work right there.
How's its library management? Last time I tried Kicad it was impressively bad.

There are other options which may be of interest. Altium have one, I think it's called circuit maker, and digi-key have schemeit.

It's not that weird, people are just following the same grammatical pattern that is coming accepted for parental words like "mother" or "father".

The noun becomes a contextual nickname or way to address them. Compare:

What? Even without the conquests of societies in the past, most other societies were much less likely to survive nature. A simple walk through the forest before antibiotics was ridiculously risky.

Again, the claim is that the bar is rising. Not that it always rose fairly. Nor that it has equally reached everyone. Just that, by and large, technology has made our lives better.

Generally any compliant securities issuance will have something to this effect - the "Risk Factors" section. The problem is it's often drowned out the broader hype of an offering, or a seller will say "they make us say that, don't worry about it."

Unscrupulous issuers have historically targeted less-sophisticated buyers who are less likely to be experienced investors - and also less likely to retain their own counsel to review an offering. Hence the accredited req.

It has a phone-home feature that is required, even for the free-as-in-beer version. This means that you can't trust that you'll have access to the software N years down the road for a board revision or respin if needed (maybe due to a part superseded or obsoleted or a v2 design change). You're entirely dependent on the generosity, business plans, and business success of Autodesk. If they shut the server or eliminate the free plan, you're SOL as even an archived VM won't help you.

To me, that's a deal breaker for what amounts to a code/IP editor, especially if you haven't yet invested the time to become proficient. If you have, you face perhaps a tougher choice.
What section of what standard says a TLD can't have an email server on it? Is AAA not allowed to host an email server on `aaa`[1], and have the email `sales@aaa`?

We applied to YC, and Shogun grew 30% during the month between our application submission and our interview. We got in to the Winter 2018 batch.

This makes very little sense. If you had a proven, growing product in a large market, why not just go for some angel investment or even series A funding? At this point maybe you just need some cash to seize the oppurtunity ie fund some developers to add polish, marketing, advertising to draw customers. A paltry YC batch investment seems trivial, certainly less than you need. Also a business based on Shopify and n1, n2, ... nx where x < 10? Seems like a lot of risk.

Yep. You'll see a few horror stories every week on https://www.reddit.com/r/CoinBase/ and usually once a horror story hits the front page of this sub-reddit (there are 2 horror stories today on the front page), then someone from Coinbase responds.

This is the case pretty much with all the top crypto-exchanges since the 2017 Holidays Media hype.

I’ve also earnestly tried switching to Linux many times, over 15 years. My most recent attempt was just a month ago, after becoming infuriated by Windows Update.

It’s not terrible, but taking all of my daily work into account, it’s still not feasible on the whole. And the problems are about the same as always. Hardware compatibility, arduous installations and config (yak shaving), and stuff just not working. And the pervasive pattern, inherited from open source itself, that things have recursive dependencies, each involving their own incredible journey of configuration and workarounds. Always the journey, never the destination of getting work done. In the end, I clean installed Windows, set it up to minimize annoyance, and got on with work.

I feel that, much like Blender, Linux requires a certain mindset. I suspect that mindset resembles either masochism or Stockholm Syndrome. I still have no complaints about MacOS.

Personally I made ~11000 USD last year: I consider $30 to be unaffordable, that's not the same as believing I should have to consider it unaffordable.
I believe they're showing that Best Buy has intent to work with the FBI beyond what they say, and therefore can't be trusted regarding their public statement. It isn't enough to draw any conclusions, of course, but should cast doubt that they're being honest in their public statement. The average person probably already assumes they aren't being honest, but a journalist needs a reason to have such a doubt.
Fashion is one of the few remaining industries where obsolutely zero consideration is given to environmental impact when designing and producing clothes. This isn't just a poor country thing where they make clothes in a enviornmentally destructive way, the design of the clothes involves IMHO a lot of un-necessary production steps for an extra minuscle percentage of improvements.

It's interesting that you highlight this, as fashion is one industry that springs to mind where the costs of production and the costs of sale do not correlate nearly as closely as with other industries.

In your car part example, the cost of production viz. energy inputs is priced into the end product, so that there's a direct financial incentive to drive down that production cost. In contrast, fashion has 'premium product' overheads which in many cases dwarf the possible efficiencies derived from production, disincentivising their realisation. Indeed, in some cases less efficient production is more desirable, for example with handmade and bespoke items rather than efficiently mass-producted items.
