I actually think TAL is at the worst that it’s ever been. Although it’s certainly been better than it was in ‘96!
It's an invasion into your mind. Don’t rewind
Until your kid becomes outdated, and they stop making vaccines for her, sure. (I'd have no problems keeping up to date if Microsoft's support periods were as long as the medical industry's are for my child).

At this point, Windows is going to end up just being my mostly-disconnected gaming OS when they stop releasing security updates in a little under 2 years.

Windows 10 needs to dump the animated ad tiles and allow complete removal of their remote-processed speech API. If they're going to continue with forced reboots, there needs to be some tech where apps run in suspendable containers, or something. I'm tired of picking up the computer in the morning and trying to remember everything I had open to work on whatever I was doing before the reboot.
>Both Brin and Page had been against using advertising pop-ups in a search engine, or an "advertising funded search engines" model, and they wrote a research paper in 1998 on the topic while still students. They changed their minds early on and allowed simple text ads.

Sounds like a road map.

Have you ever been infected like that? I was in 2001 with Code Red, in a perfectly updated Windows 2000 based network. The lessons learned helped me to get to know what I'm doing if I want to use unsupported software in parts of the internet. The thing is it can be done with a reasonable hope of success. Reversing polio, not really.

BTW, I'm hiding KB2976978 (still can do it) as I write this. If I can't block any update I don't like I'm not interested in your product. Life's too short for this kind of BS.
PoE support has always been available with a seperate PoE Hat [0], I found it to be a strange announcement.

This is one of those comments that is annoying to respond to because it may be technically correct because the original comment wasn't worded ever so precisely, but we all know that "does not increase safety" is not an absolute statement. You could strap a pillow to your chest and get ready to jump out of an airplane, and I'll say "that won't cushion your fall," but "technically, it will," you argue.

Besides--reduced capacity causes platform crowding which is dangerous and displaces passengers into other modes of transportation like foot or automotive traffic, both of which are more deadly per passenger-mile than the subway.
I'm a bit miffed about the X280 design choices as well. It should have been an X280s, with the regular full-fat X280 still having all the good features, like a removable battery.

I hope they'll make an X280p or something that's more like the older X Thinkpads.

Wow, I wonder whether they provided it before (or) after MS acquisition.
Let's maintain every version of everything ever made, forever. Won't somebody please think of the children!

But if that wasn't sarcasm, nobody's removing "access" to this historical artefact. Python 2's source code is available as long as somebody stores it. But the resources required to keep it secure are needed elsewhere. If you simply want to preserve it, talk to an archivist. The Python community has moved on.
I agree with all the comments about titles, get rid of them and reconsider it when you get to series A.

As for what they would expect from you: don't focus on what's possible or hard technically. Only think about the outcome and the value created, then figure your shit out and build it. They will also expect you to be involved in business and sales strategy, don't be passive and simply observe under the umbrella of "I'm doing tech only".
From what I heard, it's vulnerable to pressure from the rear, like if you jam it in an overpacked bag. But that's the original panel, I don't know about the Twist panel, thanks for the link.

Still, from what I gather the IPS panels suck a bit more power than the TN panels (not a huge difference, though), and for my use (travel PC getting lugged all over the world in hand luggage) I'm primarily interested in ruggedness and battery life. I use it to browse and read email, with the occasional Youtube video, not for anything color critical. I would be much more interested in upgrading the mediocre built-in speakers, apparently you can use the speaker from a Nexus 6P for a nice boost in volume and quality.
It’s a direct connection, but you can have a secure central server on your own hardware. It may not be secure against the NSA or whatever but it’s a lot more usable than trying to punch through NAT and whatnot.
> Here is the dirty little secret of the music streaming industry : how to present all this in a way that allows random users (not geeks) to efficiently interact with the app : nobody knows how to do that :/

Is there a cloud (browser) based IDE that allows to run code on a server I specify?

Right now I'm using the remote deployment feature of PyCharm to run tensorflow code on different remote GPU servers, but I'd like to uncouple the IDE from my local machine.

Ideally, I'd like Github to offer such service, so that I can edit the code in my repo right on github.com, specify a remote server to run it on, and seamlessly transfer/run it on that server with a click of a button.
> I'm a Reactiflux admin. We are VERY happy with Discord!

Are you in any way being compensated to say this? I don't expect you to disclose the details here, but I will at least ask. Publishing this blog post I understand that it is important for Discord to win over open source project to their platform. As users, developers are often early adopters and "organic" influencers.

I think you should give https://riot.im a try. It's open source and federated and has IRC bridges.
>We use a magjack that supports Power over Ethernet (PoE), and bring the relevant signals to a new 4-pin header. We will shortly launch a PoE HAT which can generate the 5V necessary to power the Raspberry Pi from the 48V PoE supply.

This is nice though I personally wish they used the same Silvertel PoE module as Arduino which you just solder onto the board. Plus their PoE hat has a spinning fan.

>Almost every end user has at least one last-resort mitigation for any vulnerability: the power switch.

So if a hospital runs a life support on a vulnerable chip, they should just hit the power switch until it's fixed.

Or what about a computer controlling a nuclear power plant? An airplane? Spacecraft or Satellite?

Vulnerabilities don't restrict themselves to equipment that is non-essential for people to survive or would cost millions to replace in consequence of a hack or shutdown (please try to revive a sat after you did a full shutdown, I will be awaiting your report on how you'll align the antenna)
I am so fucking done with Windows. Windows 10 has a lot of cool things I like and that are useful to me, but the only other time I felt such a complete lack of control over my systems was during a 3 month Apple Mac experiment (ended with an apple mac being flung from a 3rd story window).

Well, on the other hand, we are able to create joy and the rich array of emotions we feel through those moments, and against the scale of an eternal(well.... ish..) universe, creating joy for a future being is about all we have, whether that's an iteration of ourselves or someone else.

Acai berry is ok, but Bitcoin is bad?
I loved this game, even wrote / helped maintain some mods, but stopped playing due to performance degradation that gets worse the longer the application runs (especially slow scene changes). In my humble opinion the best thing they could do is plug the memory leaks, refine the architecture to make it more robust and uniform, sharpen the performance and make the game I loved playable again. I'd love an extension that tracks cycles spent on a function-by-function basis and aggregates data to track down misbehaving mods.
BBC is not "official state media": there is no such thing in the UK.

Also, I haven't read the piece yet, and the headline is a bit bait-y, but there is nothing inherently evil in that title. If there is a particularly low correlation between being white and being in (or understanding) an arranged marriage, then the whole thing may be objectively reasonable.

I repeat: I haven't read it yet.

Edit: having read it it's not in the least bit "racist". It's quite interesting and makes a clear distinction between "arranged" and "forced" that I had not thought about clearly before. Facts: it's a whole new world out there.

Up to a point: it's what a market "wants" to see insofar as it promotes accurate valuation; but not insofar as it's deceptive or promotes volatility. This press release is clearly quite heavy on those negative factors.

Furthermore: using market-based incentives risks undermining other approaches - even when that's to the detriment of society. Here too there are indications of that: for maximum gain, a speculator needs to cause a scare - and thus needs to cause maximum damage and impact (on the AMD stock - if indeed that's what they're doing). It's no coincidence that responsible disclosure was not followed here! Whether in the long run that's actually a bad thing isn't something I'm sure of - but it's a factor that does need considering.

Finally: self regulation is intellectually neat: and that's a risk, because people are biased towards simple and clever sounding solutions. There's nothing wrong with trying that approach; but assuming that SEC and other regulators themselves are rational actors in this matter strikes me as being overly optimistic. They aren't immune to partisan politics; and may suffer from regulatory capture. We should at least be open to the risk that some self-regulating processes may simply be inefficient. (The alternative need not be no self-regulation whatsoever).
Why do you care what other people tell you’ve become? Just a nice story people try to tell you. Taking risks depends on your life situation. Young graduates going into startups don’t take a risk. A guy who’s made millions going into a new startup is not taking a risk. Best of all: most successful entrepreneurs didn’t ever take a huge risk, but rather go step by step, even if they tell the story differently in hindsight. If you don’t believe that, watch this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t5HZW4NqZ-E
Surprised to find this here.

For what it's worth, for anyone interested, a few things:

#1 : That list is sorted with my top recommendations up top. You can also click to re-sort it by newest or by name, but by default, I highly recommend the ones at the top of the list.

#2 : These aren't summaries of the book! These are just the little points that I personally found surprising or inspiring. If a book wasn't surprising to me - like if I'd already read a few books on the subject - then I'll have very few notes. It doesn't mean the book isn't good. These notes are really just for me, and I started sharing them as an afterthought.

#3 : If you want summaries, I hear https://www.blinkist.com/ does that.

#4 : If you want the see code for my site, it's all open at https://code.sivers.org/ - basically a little self-made static site generator in Ruby.

If you have any questions, just email me. Email address in my HN profile here.

It depends on what kind of company you want to build.

Yes if your goal is to build a Dropbox, an Instagram etc then you don't have "product-market fit" before you have to stay up all night weeks in a row to keep your service alive.

But sometimes it makes more sense (and joy) enjoy building stuff where the product-market fit and growth curve is a lot slower, read Basecamp's post about linear growth companies: https://m.signalvnoise.com/the-world-needs-more-modest-linea...

Background: I have build a VC backed company that ended up on a linear growth curve and enjoyed it a lot, today the company is profitable and proud. Today I am VP Growth of a heavily VC backed company that is trying to hit product-market fit.
Everytime they overcome the carefully crafted group policys and firewall settings- i ask myself- what is the difference to a rather run down linux distro here.

PXE booting is sweet. I develop an OS (Crankshaft) for the Pi, and a lot of times it just has been waiting to write a new OS to the SD card, waiting, plugging it in, realizing I forgot to do something, so I had to repeat. Each time it was 15 minutes of waiting. Pulling the card out and putting it back in, especially with the ribbon cable on the way (and a case too) has been really painful. PXE boot is going to solve that. So I'm very, very excited for this.

In the blog, they mentioned the possibility of having a Pi3A too, so I look forward to that as well. The project I have has not much need for lots of USB ports and ethernet, so having to pay for and power a hub and an ethernet port only add to the power requirements with no added benefit. The Pi3A will be the prime target for me if they release it.

The only thing I wish they had is microphone input (we need the mic input for "OK Google") but I don't think it will happen, so that's one more thing on the wish list.

Thanks for that answer !
While I dont like Qualcomm and think they are charging too much. I dont think this comment paints the whole picture.

Qualcomm doesn't licensee ONLY the wireless FRAND patents, they licenses everything from CPU to software design , battery, antenna etc patents.

Now the problem is they dont allow you to choose which one parts to license. They lump it together, and they say you are guarantee to be using one of our CPU / Antenna / Battery patents we have "invented". So just paid for the whole thing.

While you can put a price on FRAND patents, you cant fairly price the other patents which is not part of it.
And, just on the defence of Qualcomm, they do actually do R&D and invent these stuff, so patents trolling isn't exactly a fair word to them.

According to Apple CEO Tim Cook spoken on record, for every 6 dollars of wireless patents, 1 dollars goes to 5 companies that is Huawei, Ericsson, Nokia, etc, and 5 dollars goes to Qualcomm.

Personally I think they are charging too much. But we dont really have a way to solve this pricing problem. So legal becomes the only choice.
Title could be better (and the BBC is getting more click-bait-y titles which annoys me) but the content is fine.
They're trying to cover their a.. with a long disclaimer. I hope that that's not enough to provide legal protection; but it may provide some protection against some laws. And then there's the issue of jurisdiction - which defamation laws apply? If they reasonably believed to be true statements that a reader might reasonably infer, is that enough to shield them - even if another reader might (incorrectly) infer something else?
> What does A|B or B|A even mean when A is a 3D Gaussian and B is 2D?

A|B is not an object in its own right. P is not just a function that means "probability of this thing", as it would if you were dealing with probabilistic events [1]. Instead, P(A) means the probability density function of the random variable A. It is an abuse of notation, and maybe that's what's confusing you: A both represents the random variable, which is a complex object [2], and the particular number that's being substituted into its probability density function to give a number as a result.

Mathematicians use a longer notation: P_A(a). Here A (which should be a subscript but I can't write that here) represents the random variable, P_A is a function R^3->R (the PDF of A) and a is a particular R^3, so that P_A(a) is in R.

Then this formula:

> P(A|B) = P(B|A) P(A) / P(B)

should really be this (I wrote the subscripts in square brackets just to try and distinguish from the actual function parameters):

> P_[A|B=b](a) = P_[B|A=a](b) P_[A](a) / P_[B](b)

Note that A|B=b is a random variable, in this case describing the position of the object given that it was detected at b.

"Just over two years ago, we released Raspberry Pi 3 Model B. This was our first 64-bit product"

Very unfortunate that their in-house developed and promoted OS ("Raspbian") only supports armv7, thus leaving the vast majority that doesn't know about the existence of (or how to use) archlinux ARM an the likes with a 32 bit os. Am I the only one that doesn't get the sense out of this here? Debian supports Aarch64 out of the box I think.
13 Critical flaws and exploitable #backdoors found in various #AMD chips
It is possible that their implementation of settings simply sucks, not checking the off-switch everywhere it should. This is one reason I don’t trust Facebook’s huge list of “settings” either, for instance. In complex systems there are just too many ways that a switch can be ignored, even if you do trust the intentions of the developer.

A better solution for this (and Facebook) is to physically block at the client. And rather than providing “settings”, Microsoft should proactively encourage this too: the official FAQ for disabling updates should essentially be specifying the domains and IPs to block in routers for example.
Can you share the names of other physics books that you think are good & readable ?
>Folks are pretty willing to give up their fingerprint for access to Disney parks

In my opinion, the problem is not that folks are giving up fingerprints or that fingerprints is used for low security authentication. We all leave fingerprints every time we touch something. So the problem is trying to use fingerprints for high level security or assuming fingerprints are a secret

Quite frankly, needs of autistic child would drive me crazy.

Unless they released it maliciously, I don't hold it against them. And wouldn't call anyone a dick unless they planned to do something evil.

Exceptions: issue was known but got ignored due to release schedule, or security was never mentioned in the project and at no level was there any security consideration. But that's for specific management issues, not engineers or the vendor in general.
