I never new so much work could go into curling ice.

Thanks for share!
There's a small difference though, you don't need to pay to watch the Academy Awards (beyond owning a screen with a digital tuner).
> In 2016, our systems started using machine learning to help detect and classify
mobile threats ...

> Google's systems learn which apps are potentially harmful and which are
safe by analyzing our entire app database. ... if
any apps are attempting anything suspicious, such as interacting with other
apps on the device in unexpected ways, accessing or sharing personal data

Does Apple do something similar for iOS apps? Or is the design of iOS such that apps are well-isolated enough that they don't need to?
> Now a similar population at large has decided the new usage rules. It's normal, it's just evolution of the English language. By this point, "crypto" is indeed widely used as a short term for Cryptocurrencies also.

Yes, this is why I say that I know this is a losing battle.

I mostly care about it in the context of technical forums like Hacker News. While the word may have a different meaning for the population at large, when you're having a discussion on a technical forum you should generally try to learn how words are used in that context.

This is somewhat like the different meanings for the word "theory" in a scientific context and in general use. In general use, "theory" means an idea that may not yet have been tested or proven, somewhere around the meaning of "idea", "hunch", or "hypothesis", while in a scientific context "theory" indicates something that has been tested successfully and is well accepted.

While the use of "theory" in the broader sense is well accepted in general use, using it in that sense in a discussion about scientific theories is confusing; so if someone does that in such a discussion, I am likely to point out the stronger meaning of the word in scientific usage.

So likewise, while "crypto" as an abbreviation of "cryptocurrency" is already fairly widespread (though I think still niche enough that there's a tiny chance a concerted effort could change usage patterns), I at least want to make sure that folks getting involved in technical discussions are made aware of the earlier definition of "crypto" and are made aware of the confusion that can be caused.
I was a homemaker for a lot of years. I dropped out of college to follow my husband's military career. I spent years looking at available opportunities to further my education at every new duty station and finding them largely lacking.

I eventually completed an AA in Humanities to lock in my old credits so I wouldn't have to start over completely. I then began pursuing a bachelor's that supported my goal of becoming an urban planner. I also completed a Certificate in GIS, the equivalent of Master's level work.

Then I began applying to jobs and internship programs. My resume had a high call back rate, but I wasn't ever offered a job in my field. I ultimately got a job at an insurance company.

I don't know why I never managed to get an urban planning or GIS job. Maybe lack of interview skills. Maybe lack of job hunting skills. Maybe the many years I spent as a homemaker made my resume not adequately impressive.

But then I had a job in something else and I was busy trying to make my life work during a divorce accompanied by health drama. One day led to another and with each passing day I had more experience in insurance and it was another day further away from when I got my Certificate in GIS.

And now a lot of years have passed. I did apply for a job in my field recently and I did get past the initial stage, though I did not get the job. And maybe I should just keep looking for jobs in my field, though it has been a lot of years. But there tend to be few such jobs in any given geographic area, they typically require a driver's license and I no longer drive.

I was one of the top students of my graduating high school class. I've done a lot of therapy and introspection. I tend to understand myself and my life better than average. Yet, I don't have some clear cut explanation for why I failed to get my dream job. I usually describe it as "I wanted to be an urban planner before life got in the way."

So, as I read this article that frames itself as knowing the psychological underpinnings for different outcomes and frames it as based primarily on choice, I find myself skeptical. That seems a little too convenient. I don't think most lives are quite so clear cut.
Can you expand a little on the difficulties you faced? When I tried quicklisp, the instructions in the homepage were easy to follow to install it, search packages, install them, and load them. I haven't tried making a package, or get it included in the repo. Was that where the difficulty you faced was?
Id say VR is still in the windows mobile and palm pilot days.
While I too hope it's just rumours I bet if it really happens netflix will snatch them up instantly. And if not we'll still have DRIVETRIBE.
Pseudo-LaTeX syntax works in Word's new equation editor (introduced in Office 2007). I can't test, but I suspect your equation works as-is in Word.
Yep. Simply put, what makes traditional instruments popular is the richness of their sounds, and how they enable the musician's expressiveness. Great traditional musicians don't switch between instruments, they mine the sonic possibilities of the one they're holding. That personal thing touches the audience, and reputation is built on it.

Of all the computer synths I tried out back in the day, Absynth was a standout. BUT it's hard to 'get physical' with a computer keyboard ... let alone a finger on a tablet. When the technology gets in the way, musicians run away.
Some, but in my experience going to conventions and such it's more often established businesses.
That's only likely to happen after a disaster, right now complacency rules.

I have Amazon Prime but rarely watch anything in the video service. I find the UI to be horribly clunky, slow, and difficult to use. Maybe because my primary TV device is an old Wii console, but Netflix manages to provide a much better experience on the same device.
Ah, FrameMaker, you just brought back memories for me. FrameMaker was truly awesome, I miss it. I wrote the first chapter of my thesis in Word, LaTeX and FrameMaker simultaneously to figure out which one I wanted to write the rest with. FrameMaker was more manageable by far, and supported LaTeX equations.
Those are just the ones you hear about. There are many successful people who aren't dysfunctional malcontents.
Just because the property taxes rise to bring in more income does not create a direct benefit to the community. Often means the current occupants will be spending more on taxes versus savings or other economic endeavors.

Look how much the the original community of Silicon Valley have benefited with increased property taxes.

And there is no grantee Amazon will stay in the area once the government subsidies run out.
I used to feel the same way about having a data plan. There's WiFi pretty much everywhere, so why spend hundreds of dollars a year for that small bit of extra connectivity?

Once I got a smartphone with a data plan, it turned out to have a fairly high value in my life. $2/day roughly covers my data plan and buying a new $800 phone every two years. The consumer dynamic is that having the latest phone is worth $2/day.

Dropping $800 recently on a new phone did make me feel something, but it was a positive feeling.
"500 Lines or Less" is an entire book of articles just like this. Each chapter guides you through a small (500 loc or less) implementation of a common component (eg a web server). http://aosabook.org/en/index.html
> Blue Apron also had seemingly slimy tactics

I've had similar experiences with Blue Apron and a couple of other similar businesses. They seem to rely on people forgetting and not caring enough to do chargebacks. It's turned me away from them for good.
Again you're comparing apples to oranges because most people wouldn't have had a need for transcoding 1080p videos from home servers back then. Most broadcasters still weren't sending HD streams or had only just started to. So a 10 year old PC in 2008 doing HD would be like a 10 year old PC in 2018 doing 4k.

My 10 year old computer is doing real time transcoding in 2018.

The examples I gave were from around 1994/5 and as I had already cited they were running Windows 3.x (Windows 95 hadn't been released at that time). So yes, the latest OS.

Again. That's the point. My 10 year old computer is running the current latest OS in 2018. A 10 year old computer in 2008 couldn't run the latest OS.

My major point being that in the first few facades of PCs, technology was moving so fast that to run the latest software, you had to upgrade your computer more frequently. Now, a 10 year old computer can run the latest software.

The smart watch and the phone to a lesser extent is still seeing the type of rapid improvements that you saw in computers until 10 years ago.

An electronic watch from 10 years ago can't do everything a modern smart watch can. A 10 year old computer can.

As far as the actual usage. A modern smart watch is used for a lot of things that a 10 year old watch wasn't.
It seems like there should be a middle ground where you blur enough to remove SDE but not enough so that pixels overlap. The whole problem with SDE is that there is a perceptible gap between pixels - blur will spread the pixel over the gap but the gap is what ensures that the pixels do not become blurred ontop of each other. I assume this doesn't work in practice (since I don't think anyone is doing it), so I'd be interested in an argument for why it doesn't.

Conceivably, a higher resolution display would have a worse SDE than a lower one. If the pixels became smaller, then the gaps between pixels could get worse even if there are more pixels per inch. For example, [1] shows a game of Tetris played on a building and the problem with it is not that the resolution is low, but that the pixels have too gaps between them. Doubling the resolution would only help a little but make each pixel a big square instead of a dot would help immensely. A diffusive screen over that building could help potentially quite a lot. This is obviously an absurdly exaggerated scenario.

Japan’s 16 registered cryptocurrency exchanges will form a self-regulating body this spring in a bid to better safeguard investors following a US$530 million digital money heist in January, two sources with direct knowledge of the plan said. Read more on https://cryptonewstrends.com/

Hackers stole about US$530 million from Tokyo-based cryptocurrency exchange Coincheck Inc in January, exposing flaws in Japan’s system and raising questions over how Japan regulates the industry.

Last month, Japanese cryptocurrency exchanges landed in hot water again when a blunder at one of the exchanges let investors briefly buy bitcoins for free, although none were able to profit from the mistake.

The headline on HN here of "Amazon.com Inc's top television shows drew more than 5M people worldwide" is misleading and makes you think of ratings. What it should say is "Amazon.com Inc's top television shows drew more than 5M to sign up for Prime". The difference is important.
The only areas where I see replacing a phone are fitness & NFC payments. Otherwise it’s usually an augment: check your notifications / calendar to see if you need to pull out your phone. This is especially big for anyone who doesn’t commonly wear pockets large enough to hold phones & get them out quickly.
is this a sports sweepstakes but with cryptocurrency? is the contract itself implemented in Ethereum?
I'm not sure why you're being downvoted. Yours is an opinion shared by many folks, and is the most common-sense explanation about career differences between men and women: they want different things. Obviously, things happen to both men and women that either encourage or prevent certain career choices. Obviously, not to the same degrees. We should at least be able to apply Occam's razor to this issue as we do to many other issues.
>purpose defined hardware implementation, with a separate protocol, different datagrams (instead of TCP/IP/UDP packets) and independent land line plants, undersea cables, satellites and more.

If you come up with a different network, then the attackers will just switch to that network.

Remember, the internet used to be lots of different networks. I'm old enough to remember bang paths, BITNET, and e-mail taking a week or more to make it across the Atlantic. Even back then, there were vulnerabilities, and even cross-network vulnerabilities.

And a private satellite is a terrible idea for "security." In a previous life I used to have to operate a satellite uplink, and I can tell you that replacing a transponder's intended content with your rogue content is really quite easy if you just put your mind to it. (It's happened before.)
Also, outdoor advertising is quite profitable as well.

When you require larger returns, you're willing to accept higher levels of risk (think of all of the pension funds with obligations where they calibrated their returns at 8% but are falling far short of that [1]). The debt for these sorts of transactions is referred to as "junk bonds" or high yield debt [2].

Sidenote: It's very important to understand risk when comparing returns, as returns must be risk adjusted to be properly compared. For example, 5% returns on bonds and 5% returns on equities are not the same based on the underlying risk of the asset class.

I have a Kwikset Kevo that I enjoy. If I have guests they just install the Kevo app and I can send them temporary keys that expire. I don't use the integration, but apparently it's integrated with Alexa.
At least it doesn't auto-play trailers like Netflix does on my PS4. I spend very little time in their app as a result of that.
I believe Randall Munroe was talking about touching neutron star material, if hypothetically we could stably put it on earth.
The second Amazon starts offering these in Whole Foods I'm all over it. And I bet a bunch of other people will to.

We do meal kits (Local Crate) and they're great, but always need a little augmenting (extra veg. mostly). So I'm already at the store a few times a week. The meal kits just simplify the process enormously. Marry the two and you've got a killer product.
In all fairness, this is about Prime Video drawing people into the overall Amazon ecosystem (shopping, etc.) That said, most if not all of this prestige television has quite law viewership relative to traditional broadcast TV. Game of Thrones has about 10 million viewers on HBO. That wouldn't be terrible by broadcast standards, but it's about equivalent to a reality show like Survivor.
That could well be true, so I thought I'd throw it out there to check if I was (comparatively) the only one who isn't really a fan of "ELI5".

So the other alternative is to have more ELI5 prefixes for questions. It's something I never question on reddit since that's where it has orginated and flourished, but since this is hacker news I figured it'd be safer to overthink than underthink.
Absolutely go the lawyer route. The downside risk of doing it yourself is too high.
Why does Bitcoin is crashing fast?
Why does Bitcoin is crashing fast?
This is exactly what I mean. If it was on some obscure webpage, noone would know about it but main stream media copy-paste news like this just because they know people will click on it, not bothering to check if it is true or not. For the newssite that is less interesting as long as they get clicks. Of course this does not mean there are responsible journalists that does fact checking on everything, they just get less with time.
The primary injustice is that the rules don't apply equally to all businesses. Small businesses are more fragile, yet will never get special tax deals. Like any sport, the rules should apply equally to all players. Anything less is corruption, even if it has short term economic benefits.
The specs are nice but I wonder if it can work well on games with current high end computers. If they really release it I will most likely buy it though.

I think that this kind of headset is meaningful for both VR power users and developers but Google and Facebook should focus on non gaming content to attract a wider audience.

Facebook is in the odd position where they could make a WebVR social killer app over night but they won't because they really badly want to become the Apple of VR with their Oculus Store. I think that they will regret this strategy in the future. That or they will have to cash billions out once more to acquire a company that found out what to do with this tech.
„tout the death of the broadcast industry“

Slightly OT: YouTube will be big in „live plus same day“ this year. Boxing match of KSI vs Joe Weller [1] drew 1.6 million live viewers and 16 Million on the (official) released video after. I'd estimate the announced fight of KSI vs Logan Paul in August to yield closer to 5 or up to 10 million live viewers with a massive „same day watching“ after.

Sure the content is not for everyone but might be a glimpse at what a younger generation prefers.

> There are very few polished games or apps available for VR

Not true. Examples: Brass Tactics, Robo Recall, In Death, Lone Echo. There are already more quality games in the Oculus Store and Steam than most people will have the time to play.
I built a live streaming system with VoD constrained to RasPi+CDN with minimal code in a few weeks, fully FLOSS and offline capable. All design and hours of live hacking are online, comparison here: https://ispooge.com/2018-03-14-video-platforms-compared.html lmk if you want specifics — tutorials being produced on tinydatacenter.com. I am documenting as I learn, given I have no background in vid nor feature list in mind.

Tldr: all you need to make your own scalable Twitch without coding (but with patience). It’s a <2mo old so feedback appreciated, but my live vlog has been going strong for weeks and syndicating to 4+ other networks.

Google’s AI Program: Building Better Algorithms for Detecting Eye Disease
A better comparison is Top Gear, the BBC show that was essentially the same as The Grand Tour. At it's absolute peak Top Gear drew live audiences of ~8 million people. When the BBC cancelled it (after Clarkson hit a producer) it was getting audiences of ~5 million. I'm sure you could double that number including on-demand and foreign audiences. It was a popular show.

To me these numbers show that Amazon have managed to compete reasonably favourably with the BBC, which is famous for being really good at making TV shows, within 5 years of starting to make their own content, they've built a platform that people are willing to use to watch that content, and they've developed a model that audiences are willing to pay for. That's huge.
From watching two seasons of The Grand Tour there also seems to be a clause in the contracts similar to "Jeremy and Andy get to do anything they want" - which probably reduces the risk of someone being punched dramatically.

While it would certainly help, it would solve like 0.1% of the problem. Fun fact, plants actually consume oxygen at night. On a 24 hour cycle, they create more than they consume, so everyone just thinks all they do is create oxygen.

I personally find a similar service in the UK an absolute lifesaver.

Both myself and my partner have struggled with depression for a number of years. Cooking (and eating freshly cooked food) is one of the few things I can rely to lift my mood.

Having to work out what I want to cook on the way home, figuring out whether I have ingredients, go to a shop to obtain them if not are things I can reliably _not_ do. If I hit this point we end up eating ready meals or takeaway.

I'd be the first to admit it's an expensive service, but honestly the extra capacity I gain from using it is absolutely worthwhile.

Ask HN: Small startups how are you deploying and provisioning in AWS?
Hi all,

I'm trying to learn more about how small startups are using AWS. I'm particularly interested in:

What sort of software you are deploying and how you deploy it (chef, puppet, "by hand" or what not)?

How are you provisioning resources in AWS and what those resources are (terraform, cloud foundation, AWS UI)?

If you are using a language like Python or Ruby, how are you making sure your dependencies are correctly installed? How do you update them?

How large is your engineering team?

Do you have anyone who is responsible for maintaining your deployment and provisioning tools?

Thanks.
>It needs EVIL for us vim users.

I guess on the future we could have VPortacle, which would be VIM + SLIMV (Superior Lisp Interaction Mode for Vim, the Vim counterpart to SLIME).
If it were up to elected representatives, it probably would have been illegal into the 1990s as well. Interracial marriage was legalized by the court system applying constitutional protections of individual rights to override laws created by elected representatives.
Asciidoc and restructuredText both have more features, stronger specifications [1].

reStructuredText has strong official support for extensions, including regular syntaxes in the language for using extension points consistently. That power alone makes it suitable for a lot of domain-specific documents, which is why IMNSHO a lot of the better software documentation is in reStructuredText rather than Markdown.

[1] Don't forget that for Markdown the only "official" spec for that name is a blog post and a Perl script. CommonMark is very well specified now, but is A) surprisingly quite recent despite the proliferation of Markdown usage, and B) technically a forked specification and "not official" and not allowed to use the name "Markdown" by the original author/developer.
I personally think that is unethical, along with being impractical in this instance.
It's a good restriction. Why? Because the author made it that way. Who are we to judge? That is the point of a license.
