> Scylla is AGPL for the OSS version though so testing it out would not be an option without getting a commercial license first.

Huh? The AGPL is not a non-commercial-use-only license.

If you have proprietary software that you would like to combine with AGPL code (i.e., not interact with as a service) and is available to the general public over the Internet, and you want keep your code proprietary, sure, you may not want to use the AGPL. But you could say the same thing about proprietary software you want to combine with GPL code and sell to the general public.

If you're either using the software through it's existing defined public interfaces, or you're okay releasing anything you modify or link into the software, the AGPL (and the GPL) are fine. Lots of people distribute proprietary products that include GPL code, like Chromebooks, Android phones, routers, GitHub Enterprise, etc. We figured out years ago that the Linux kernel is not just a non-commercial product. Why are we having the same misconceptions about the AGPL?

We have one - the stock market. $100 invested in Amazon the day it started trading would be worth something like $20,000 today.

Investing in the market has become very democratized. Online brokers offer inexpensive access to everyone, and you can start investing for $100 or less.
It would not be arbitrary, it would be well defined.

Good question. I'm eager too. I've been able to buy Graphene Concrete Admixture and graphene-infused PLA filament for my 3D printer though.
Can you elaborate on what in CV became obsolete overnight? I took a survey course in CV but I haven't kept up. You still do facial detection, object recognization, camera calibration, image stitching the same way in 2012? Or has it changed because the processing has gotten faster and the results are near real-time?
Oh my. I find it amazing how many people came out of the woodwork to either defend this exact act or to defend Erdogan's Turkey.

The next time I am outside the Turkish Embassy and Erdogan's associates are out there seeing if the toe of their boots fit firmly in the mouths of Liberal Turks, Kurdistan supporters, anyone who doesn't love the AKP, I'll remind those getting curbstompped that they shouldn't be mad at Erdogan because everyone else is at fault.
> fed up with dogmatism and theism

I was raised religious. I too became entranced with seeking the truth; however, secularism does not have the same 'social-networks as a side-effect' institutions as religion does.

Many want to hate on religion, but even the religious would say enduring the dogma for the kind, accepting social interactions that occur before and after is just what one does.

I know it's tougher to measure, but I'd rather see some in-depth measurement on how much better of a lifestyle the same wealth provides over time. And with that, how much that lifestyle is improving at different income levels.

The promise of a capitalist society isn't that it will bring income equality--it's better products and services at better prices. Someone having more zeroes in their bank account than me is irrelevant if my lifestyle is improving faster than theirs.

Again, though, I know it's tougher to measure.

There is correlation, but this entry says:

> Indeed, the empirical literature on the causal effect of inequality on economic growth is largely inconclusive.

It's tempting to think that income inequality drives demand down and causes less economic growth. I would actually agree, yet the scientific evidence might be missing.

IMO, we should put limits in inequality, not because of what we think it might do to the economy, but because it's the decent thing to do! Because we're nice human beings :)
I've been using HelloFresh for a couple months. I don't think there is a business model here. Too much expense in shipping materials, and then a pain for the customer to dispose/recycle said materials. Vegetable quality is hit or miss. And the price is high. The convenience factor just barely, barely makes it worth while.

Having said that, the recipes are really great (I'm not a cook, but can follow a recipe). Wish they would just bundle their recipes into a book and sell that (strangely, I've not been able to find a 'complete meal' recipe book with a set of steps for each part of the meal sequenced together)
We New Yorkers have relied upon the wisdom of Zagat's for many decades. Please, I beg you, be kind to this brand and don't change the things that enable the content to be so high quality and reliable.

Show HN: Put Any Ringtones in Your iPhone and iPad for Free (with Video)
But the technology for these speeds were available 15 years ago. The ISPs did not offer them or build them out to consumers, and this attributed to the lack of competition.

Without Google trying to enter the scene, most internet consumers would not have realized they could get better. Also, these ISPs are overcharging for their service. Google's pricing allowed people to peer into the fact that they were being cheated. I'm not a Google lackey by any means, but they did a huge service to internet consumers, who are now much more aware of the quality of service they should be getting from ISPs like Comcast and AT&T.
So gambling is your solution? It's easy to identify Amazon after the fact just like it's easy to identify the winner of a horse race. Go back to the dawn of Amazon and invest $100 in some of the other startups that look just as likely to be big and now your $100 is $0

Reading between the lines, I don't get the impression he filled out any paperwork for the ability to transport a fully functional jet engine on the back of his otherwise totally normal 4 cylinder production VW beetle.

The fact it turns on, is bolted to the vdub and so forth... mere details.

Converting a car is a completely different kettle of fish. As someone who's built a couple of personal electric vehicles I can attest, the US has plenty of regulations of what you can do on the highways and byways.
Unfortunately everything I've seen about diverging diamonds appears to me to be more like a marketing campaign for it rather than actual information. They only talk about the positive points of it, and only in abstract terms like the number of conflict points and number of traffic light phases.

It seems to me it's trading a separate phase for the left turns, in favor of "everybody has to make a left turn", and those wanting to proceed straight also have to cross traffic again. So I'd imagine this probably does work better for people who wanted to turn left, but worse for people that wanted to go straight.

And during low traffic periods, anyone wanting to go straight will have to stop at two lights rather than just having the lights default to green unless a car shows up at one of the sides.

Maybe they're better, maybe they're worse, but more likely it depends on a lot more things than this video lets on.
Could you share your thoughts on how likely and how soon will the RocksDB engine be available as part of normal Cassandra? Also, how big is the gap between 3.0.x and 3.x? Any improvements between 3.0.x and 3.x regarding tail latency/performance? Thanks!

Free GPUs for machine learning model training from Google
It's something that's produced, but not something sold (like Encarta). Accordingly you're right that it is a product.

In the informal sense in which we talk about users "being the product" I'd call it not quite right, since there's nothing sold. The user doesn't have to worry as much about ulterior motives.

OK, but IPFS sites are just HTTP/S via a gateway. So any browser works. Indeed, there are IPFS gateways on Tor onion services.
It is an old argument, and I think a correct one. Money at the top is mostly spent on capital investment. Capital investment makes commodities which are sold to consumers/workers. Who is going to buy all these things if people are tapped out? You can kick the can down the road for a bit with debt, but if the income split stays the same, that just ultimately makes the problem worse when you reach maximum indebtedness.

In terms of smaller returns, you can see this with cell phone manufacturing. So much capital is on the sidelines that when it sees a chance to turn a profit, capital floods in, a massive infrastructure for building cell phones springs up, and returns shrink. The only exception is Apple, for a variety of reasons including that the initial iPhone was a product of high quality and convenience compared to its competitors at the time.

You can help someone directly, and you'll become close to that someone. Or as a group help someone and you'll become closer to that group. Service really is the magic bullet.
Yes. And the wildly varying returns achieved by these retail investors surely increased rather than decreased economic inequality.
More quality content is pay walled these days.
I've been able to get some value out of Yelp reviews by using the the following guidelines:

First and of course, look at the overall number of reviews and score as a rough guideline. You're probably not going to get burned going to a place with 700 reviews averaging 4.5 stars. Might not be as good as its reviews, but it's probably not crap.

Second, ignore any review with the word "groupon" or "scoutmob" in it. For whatever reason these always seem to be nitpicks about service specifically related to the offer. And if I had a dollar for every "Groupon was for item A, I wanted to apply it to item B, they wouldn't, one star" I've seen, I'd be a wealthy man.

Third, ignore most of the five star and one star reviews. Mostly undeserved gushing, and angry ranting, respectively.

Fourth, generally avoid anything from a user that has "Yelp Elite" next to their names. While some of these are good reviews from informed food enthusiasts, a lot of them are just long-winded twee crap from folks who like the idea of being "elite" at something.

Finally (and most importantly), pay special attention to the two and three star reviews. This is the meat of Yelp. They will say moderately bad things about the restaurant, usually with reasons to back it up. Often you'll start to see a theme. Whatever issues the restaurant has, this is where you'll find them. This is where you'll find out the popular place for some cuisine is actually kind of mediocre and everyone familiar with that cuisine goes somewhere else that's less popular but has better food, or whatever.

Then you ask yourself, "Is this something I care about?" If I want the best Ćevapi in town, do I really care about the dozen two and three star reviews that complain that the waiters only speak Croatian? Or will I show up with my handy Croatian phrasebook?

Yelp is a pit of crap, but there's gold in that crap. Usually.
Maybe a cliche, but if you're in the pit of loneliness, perhaps a good strategy is to get a dog. You will have a friend, it allows you to practice your communication skills (good for introvert people), and it can help getting into contact with others. Downside of course is that you can't leave the house for longer periods.
A lot of VC returns are based on eyeballs and a lot of eyeballs are actually giant Bot networks.
Care to give some examples?

I can think of a few general counterexamples:

* Fad diets (people flit from fad to fad, not outright reject all fad diets from then on)

* Losing your faith, but then being fascinated by a foreign religion (i.e. The trope of the ex-Christian falling in love with Buddhism)
This isn't necessarily a solution. Investing lets one multiply the disposable wealth they already have - but wealthy people have more, and can invest a larger percentage of their assets. I would've be surprised if the share of capital gains income is even more unequal than all income.
Ok, sure, yeah, I guess I can agree that if a false accusation actually happens, all sides' stories should be heard. Weird as it is for you to bring it up that way.

But female dominated positions aren't "diversified" because it's one of the few places where a woman actually gets a shot at a job. This is the entire purpose behind "diversification": minorities and oppressed groups don't get a fair shot at normal jobs, so they have to get lumped into jobs that society thinks is "appropriate" for them. So, while I think you are misguided in your criticism, I agree that we should root out why exactly women are relegated to being the majority in only a few select stereotypical positions.

"Toxic masculinity" is not nonsense. I'm a male and it's easy for me to see what toxic masculinity looks like. Misogyny, homophobia, violence, and other forms of oppression are all traits men overwhelmingly exhibit more than women. If women acted like this we would label it and talk about it and we wouldn't be called bigots (except by the people trying to deny that it exists).

Everything in life is gambling and probability. Take a job? You might get fired tomorrow. Start a business? It might fail. Invest in a company? It might turn out to be worth a billion, or $0.

I'm shocked how cheap food is in US then. In UK HelloFresh works out at a little bit less than £5/person/meal, and you just can't beat that. No one will deliver for that cheap, and any item from the menu will be more than this. I guess you could go eat at a chain restaurant like wetherspoons, but then for £5 you get a frozen burger and a pint of pepsi. Even a McDonald meal will hardly fit in that price, order anything better than a bigmac and you're looking at £6.29.

Since they are just going to squander it anyway, it becomes even harder to see a serious objection to severe estate taxes then. :)
I really liked Blue Apron but there was so much trash left over! I really wish they would do better pre-planning with ingredients, like send a stick of butter and a jug of vinegar instead of a pat and a tiny bottle. There were so many bottles from week to week of the same stuff - vinegar, soy sauce, mirin, etc.. We ended up just using a lot of the techniques we learned from Blue Apron to prepare vegetables from CSA boxes.

It's a great idea for young people who would like to learn how to cook (or learn some new techniques/staples). I might get a few months subscription for a relative who just moved out on their own as a gift, for example.
How completely moronic. Can't help but to think how panicked someone could be if misinterpreting this with a casual accusation.

I log into FB at home:

"Hey FrozenTuna, do you think its okay to solicit 14 y/o's for nudes?"

"No"

"What do you think fb should do about this behavior?"

"What the actual fuck..."

I don't think its a stretch to imagine myself trying to email my entire internet history to friends and family trying to be transparent lol. Even accusations can be a death sentence in the US.
What's intrinsically wrong with inequality?
Agree entirely with this! Capitalism's benefit in my opinion is far from equality.

People view 'inequality' as a problem, but I'd say to be more accurate, poverty is the problem while equality seems like an easy solution.
Who knows? You have to figure on one end, there's people like me who have a well-equipped kitchen and some knife skills and have no interest in or need for meal kits, and at the other end are people with no interest/time for cooking at all, and mainly want to go with take-out/delivery options. Given the premium prices, it's presumably not an option for, say low-income folks with more limited cooking facilities. So who's left?

Please consider some kind of roll cage if you're going to put a 2-3 year-old into this. In the United States we see a tremendous number of toddlers who are very, very badly injured (or killed) in ATV rollover injuries. Obviously an ATV is a much bigger and heavier vehicle than what you're doing (which is cool) but the mechanism itself of rolling a vehicle over onto a child can lead to a very devastating injury pattern.

Not only were the guys at the air base trying to sell Patrick an SA-2, "they were saying, 'you want a MiG 21 (fighter jet)? I'll sell you two tanks and a MiG.' " .

"So they wanted $2,000 for the missile," Patrick said, "and I had a bottle of ouzo and after a while I got them down to a grand." He still hasn't got the 35-foot-long missile, but he does know what he'll do with it once it clears U.S. customs. (Good luck.)

"I want to build a missile silo on my front lawn," he said. "It'll have those electric-opening silo doors and I'll have a set of lights for it. Then, at night, I open the silo doors and raise the missile up, with those lights on it."

This guy is a dream come true. He's like a version of Woz with a flair for surplus weaponry. It's fantastic.

Also, imagine having the connections to buy a Mach 3 missile that shot down Gary Powers for less than a Macbook. I wonder if a launcher is included.
