It's kinda amazing that OP already made money with 3k unique visitors from HN. I am glad you received what you wished for.

Making it to the front page of HN is amazing. I am fortunate to have several entries and projects making the front page of HN in the last couple of months.

My little story that has nothing to do with money. I am an international grad student. Recently I moved to a new city with very few friends, the girl I was seeing for 4 years in grad school stopped talking to me, my grad school thesis was tougher than I thought, I needed to find a job while waiting for my EAD card being stuck in the queue, my driver's license was expiring and I couldn't renew it because of the darn EAD card didn't come, it was just too much to handle. I was feeling lonely, demotivated, confused. I became numb, I loved computers all my life yet didn't have the passion to program, so I tried to do a lot of things to escape reality. I wrote a lot both programs and blogging. One of my "fun" programming projects that I did in 1 day waiting for it to compile has recently been on HN front page, then it made its way to /r/raspberry_pi, hackaday, /r/android, androidpolice, zdnet among many others. I got hit by 60k unique visitors in the last 10 days and I made exactly 0 cents from it (and I made a stance to not ask people for money). I have people sending me emails and tweets thanking me every day since. I guess to me at this point, passion is worth more than anything in this world. When I was answering questions from HN and reddit, sometimes my eyes got really wet because I was really feeling hopeless, but then the optimism and kindness of people I don't know were something I could feel. I can't be more thankful for what I received from the HN community. I couldn't ask for more.

I'm just telling you all this about my life because I figured I can't be the anonymous jimmies like I was before anymore. I have a real story, not very pretty and successful, but I guess a story worth telling because there might be other jimmies who are desperate and sad in this world reading this: don't ever give up hope, keep creating cool shit, you'll be alright. I have another blog post that made HN front page 5 months after I published it. No one ever mentioned it being cool to me: it has 0 people reading it before someone submitted and made HN front page. You thought the world doesn't care about you, but you never know when your honest efforts will pay off.

You are assuming people are betting their whole bankroll on one bet. No one remotely sane does that. If you do something like betting constant amount then risk of ruin is often very close to 0 (and always less than 1 if you have an edge).
Ah, the good old "just when I began to think Slack is pretty decent after all", still remembering fights with Windows office communicator and others.

The reason I use the IRC gateway is primarily to cut down all the extra crap except textual messages, and to be able to message from the console without having to switch windows or launch web pages (I run irssi 24/7 under tmux). This has been a nice sweet spot, with the improvement of seeing message history as well.

The trend for things built in the 10's seem to be constant change and fear for shutting down. Conversely, IRC from the early 90's still works fine. IRC is like water pipes. It doesn't come with flashing lights but it does what it needs to do, does it reliably, and nothing more. And you can buy bottled water in various flavours but if water pipes didn't exist life would be far worse.

First let's talk about value, because it is relative for different audiences (and my take is obviously not canonical either). For Facebook's users, the value is primarily the network. For Facebook's partners, the value is converting sales from users engaging with advertisements.

Facebook must offer enough to the users that the network is still worth coming back to while still giving advertisers a chance at having their eyes. A major breach could cause user and partner abandonment because of security concerns. Once the genie is out, there is no putting it back in. Their stock will fall faster than they can rewrite the product.

It is unreasonable for us to expect open-source for server-side code because it exposes Facebook (and potentially it's users) to a lot of risk for only a small upside.
1) While open-source software has myriad benefits, those benefits require the public at large to audit their code as it is being continuously changed and deployed. Can we keep ahead of the criminals exploiting freshly merged and deployed commits?
2) Knowing the source code is one half the battle, the other half is knowing what is actually executing at runtime. How would users verify this to get the value of open-source?
3) Open-sourcing server side code of Facebook could have serious negative consequences for users or Facebook in the event of a breach due to intimate knowledge of the system only afforded by being privy to the source code.

Not a point, but a philosophical question:
*) Where does this stop being virtuous? Should Microsoft open-source SMB tomorrow? Would you feel comfortable with that?

Edit: grammatical fixes
I think you are comparing with "business English" instead of actual locally spoken/written English here...
Your 1st point is something like "these tests are useful for screening, you can get information about unassayed regions using statistical genetics approaches". My point is that this is not useful, since screening tests need to have certain properties not provided by SNP tests. The biggest issue is that 23andMe do not test the whole gene. This is like only doing a mammogram on one tenth of only the left breast, obviously a futile screening endeavour even if the FNR for that 10th is gold standard level. But most of all, unlike other screening tests which are designed to help the patient as much as possible (within societal resource constraints), 23andMe are offering a very limited test because that is what suits them, that is all that is possible with the SNP arrays around which they have built their business model. My original post was highlighting that unlike what is suggested on the gushing press release, this is not actually a great moment for direct to consumer genetic testing. If they were really interested in helping screen for BRCA mutations, 23andMe could swap out some of the other genes which tell you trivial stuff like how fast you metabolise caffeine, or some rare drug metabolism effect and include more BRCA SNPs. But they don't, because it is all about how many tests they sell and how useful the information is to pharmaceutical companies.

Not even necessary. You could do keyword recognition on the device itself, pushing a list of keyword<->waveform maps, and sending an indicator when they're recognized.
> potty training a 2 yr old takes about a year

Just so nobody without kids actually believes this:

It's perfectly possible to potty train some 1 year olds, lots of cultures do it, the hard part is communicating with them. Most 2 year olds can communicate verbally and by then it's mostly not a problem anymore.

Then, of course, they're all individuals and vary greatly even among siblings. But the idea that you shouldn't potty train kids before 3 is a strange and possibly damaging idea for new parents.
Vulkan is actually really close in scope to the vendor-specific APIs that OpenGL drivers use to communicate with the GPU. The intention from the beginning was that you would pick an appropriate higher-level abstraction (unless you're, say, making Unreal Engine and already retooled your OpenGL pipeline for the AZDO extensions).

The clear advantage over OpenGL is that those abstractions are debuggable and vendor-independent.
Just wanted to share it here to get some feedback. The app is intended to be a joke. We build the original version in the hackathon (in which we won a 2nd place) and never got around finishing it until now. It uses a dataset of 5k images, and an inception v3 model, retrained to recognise each category. Everything is done offline and optimised to run on a mobile.
Fyi. This is the cert I'm getting: https://imgur.com/a/D1RQ2
>A regimented dancelike experience, as in aerobics or Zumba, is fine, but unsupervised dance moves reek of hedonism, and working out is supposed to be a form of work. Most people come with a plan like “legs and shoulders today” or “forty-five minutes of cardio and fifteen minutes of abs,” usually preceded by a warm-up and topped off with several minutes of stretching on a mat.

>[Insert:] Despite the pulsing pop music and comfortable clothes, gyms are not sites of spontaneity and play.

>Working out very much resembles work, or a curious blend of physical labor and office work. Members not only lift weights, for example; they often carry clipboards on which to record the number of reps and sets and the amount of weight lifted for each workout, like a supervisor monitoring a factory worker’s performance.

God forbid people set goals for their bodies and approach them in an efficient, systematic manner instead of running around like children. This article is beyond useless, and there are few things I find more pathetic and loathsome than condescending social critics who squeeze other people's pursuits into their sentimental, rigor-averse narrative. Any lifestyle or socio-economic conclusions drawn from this set of assumptions about how a gym ought to be are just begging the question.

Right. I think a lot of people forget that C wasn’t (and isn’t!) the only systems language that was in heavy usage, and indeed a lot of its predecessors and contemporaries were much safer. But hey, worse is better, and C won, so I’m fighting a losing battle here I think.
They also seem to be data-mining the chats, and preparing to sell off data assets.
From the Privacy Policy:
" Information we collect may include but not be limited to username, email address, and any messages, images, transient VOIP data (to enable communication delivery only) or other content you send via the chat feature."

They are pretty open that they collect a lot of data about you, and this is not even the full list ("not limited to").

"...we may conduct research on our customer demographics, interests and behavior based on the information collected. This research may be compiled and analyzed on an aggregate basis, and we may share this aggregate data with our affiliates, agents and business partners"

Shared for dollars, of course.

"As we develop our business, we might sell or buy businesses or assets. In the event of a corporate sale, merger, reorganization, bankruptcy, dissolution or similar event, your information may be part of the transferred assets."

They can sell your data, including all the chats they have collected.

It is of course a Privacy Policy and not a Business Model strategy document, but it is pretty far-reaching and allows for monetization of anything you do with Discord. You are the product.

Either you don't understand that FB isn't trying to target your relevant interests (they target you based on the categories[1] advertisers choose to target), or...

> I spend >30min of my time on FB [...] which includes ads

you are so entrenched in consumer culture and used to having your opinions manipulated by marketing departments that you no longer recognize the difference between "relevant content" and attempts to "nudge" your behavior in specific directions. I suggest taking a break from the internet/media/ads for a couple weeks.

I didn't phrase it well. I was specifically talking about the Baloo sample and how the typographic style is the same across scripts.

> Mandarin wasn't really written until about 120 years ago. Before people would write classical Chinese. It's a "written vernacular/白話文

This is true, but it's a separate issue from having various dialects. Language evolves as time goes by, and in the case of Chinese before "written vernacular", people would write in the same form of ancient Chinese (regardless of pronunciation) which diverged a lot from what people actually speak. With the promotion of "written vernacular", people started to write what they speak, irrelevant of dialects.

Even though each of the dialects have some special vocabulary, and even different grammar, that doesn't mean they're not still "MOSTLY" the same.

I speak a southern Chinese dialect myself (I don't know what to call it in English) which is also dramatically different from Mandarin. Yes it has a few words that we commonly used, that I thought to be unique, but it turns out all of the characters and words exist in standard Chinese dictionary. Those words actually existed for a long time, and they are just no longer commonly used by other people. That said, learning to speak Mandarin is no where close to be like learning a new language. Vast majority parts of the language are still the same. Hokkien might be slightly more different but still no where close to being a separate language.

On the other hand, Japanese is undoubtedly a separate language, even though it also use Chinese characters (plus about 100 characters of their own), and many of the Chinese characters and words in Japanese actually means the same as they do in Chinese. No one would claim Japanese as a dialect of Chinese, because the difference is both significant and clear.

I think you also agree that both Taiwanese and people from mainland China CAN read Hong Kong newspapers, just not as fluently. Part of the reason is what I said, different writing systems. The other reason is that people do use some different words, especially for new concepts. Since Taiwan, Hong Kong and mainland China has been fairly separated for a long time, divergence is inevitable. For example, new words like "program" is translated in different ways: "程序" in mainland China, and "程式“ in Taiwan. Again, this has nothing to do with dialects. Mandarin speakers form mainland China would not be able to read Taiwan newspapers as fluently even though it's also Mandarin. Cantonese speakers from Guangdong province couldn't read Hong Kong newspaper as fluently even though it's also Cantonese.

On the other hand, I grew up watching many Hong Kong movies that were spoken in Cantonese but with Chinese captions. The captions needed no translation at all - They were just what the actors were saying. After watching many of those, I could even understand some Cantonese though I still couldn't speak those. I admit there are occasionally some word that seems unfamiliar to me, but it didn't impacted much. I don't believe you can do that with a different language.

>I said lack of electrolytes is harmful...

I know that is what you said, but we are talking in circles.

Why do you think distilled water robs you of _enough_ electrolytes to cause harm? There must be some real data or proof somewhere?

I've read a lot of comments here claiming this, but not a single source is quoted anywhere. Don't you think it's odd that many believe something, yet it's so hard to find proof of it?

According to this medical doctor distilled water is considered helpful against cancer, specifically stating no added minerals, vitamins or electrolytes. Interview from Rising (web mag?) with Dr. Jason Fung (JF).

>JF ‘When the body senses the temporary absence of nutrients, it must prioritise which cellular parts to keep. The oldest and most worn-out cells get discarded, and amino acids from the broken-down cell parts are delivered to the liver, which uses them to create glucose during gluconeogenesis – a natural process in the body that helps to maintain stable blood sugar levels. Cancer may be a result of what’s called ‘disordered autophagy’. We’re learning that this process plays a role in cancer biology, and products that inhibit this process have been approved by the Food & Drug Administration in the US for the treatment of cancers. Fasting’s role in stimulating autophagy provides an opportunity to prevent cancer. And that’s why Dr Seyfried proposes a yearly seven-day water-only fast.’

RISING Seven days with no food, just water?

JF ‘Distilled water, to be precise. No additives, no vitamins, no minerals. Distilled water and nothing else.’

I totally agree, PostgreSQL has been an incredibly good experience and joy to develop with. The stuff that already comes with most distro packages is already blowing out most other RDBM systems and the stuff you can get elsewhere just solidifies it.

Though I'm also looking at some alternatives too, CockroachDB has some of my attention since they seem to have masterless HA figured out, if they could combine that with PG... (they do use the PG wire format already)
>>If you bet 99% of your money on a coin flip, you'll eventually lose a flip and have too little money to take advantage of future coin flips.

You are comparing Kelly bets to being stupid so of course Kelly wins. Kelly maximizes just one thing - log of bankroll. If your utility is not logarithmic it's not optimal to use Kelly bet sizings and if your utility is logarithmic with some multiplier then you need to adjust Kelly as well (which btw gamblers using Kelly are doing as pure Kelly criterion is universally considered too risky).

>>The first is the return from the next coin flip, which when you have an edge, makes you want to bet as much as possible on this flip. The second is the return from all future flips, which makes you want to bet less so that a poor result doesn't permanently diminish your ability to make bets.

While pure result diminish (or kills) your ability to make money from further bet betting it all and winning increases it. If you want to maximize EV of total amount of money you bet all at every turn and this is the optimal solution to optimize that. If you want to optimize logarithm of total amount of money you bet Kelly. If you want to maximize more conservative utility then you bet something else. There is nothing magical about Kelly criterion other than that.
It's made more likely that they (when there's first an overlap in their shooting) would select the same picture by virtue of getting roughly the same shots and their shots being likely to have many of the same qualities. Chances are they'll value many of the same qualities and so would at least exclude shots of many of the same moments for the same reasons.

That they're professional photographers might reduce the odds by virtue of there being fewer of them, but might increase the odds by virtue of them being more likely to be the kind of people to know of specific spots to go out of their way to take pictures from during a storm, and more likely to value the same qualities i their shots, as well as more likely to publicize their photos enough for one of them to find the other persons photo.

It's an interesting step towards the panopticon - self driving vehicles by necessity have complete surveillance and store everything. Misdemeanors that previously would have been dismissed as word against word are now persistent in the digital record.

The birthday paradox arises because the probability that two candidates do not match is small compared to the number of candidates. In this case, the candidates are photos and a match in fact requires a match on multiple variables (e.g. angle, timing) that are effectively continuous. A match between 2 arbitrary photos must then have zero-ish probability and a non-match must have one-ish. So it still seems inestimably improbable that something like this would happen.

Where can I get a permanent (US) number anywhere?

The cheapest I've seen slightly below $2/month, but all the super cheap carriers are very volatile businesses and you can't expect to keep them more than a few years.

Seeing as you don't really own phone numbers in the sense you own domain names, any permanence is limited by the life span of your service provider.
You could probably also do this with a small form factor Arduino, a bluetooth module, and a push-to-make button.
