“Briefly stated, the Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows. You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. In Murray's case, physics. In mine, show business. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.
In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.”

There’s a distinction between voter persuasion and voter manipulation. Much of spycraft is about manipulation.
That's a pretty harsh generalisation.

Edit:
I should probably expand on that. Yes, in some cases keeping the founder as a CEO can be important for the morale of the team, but sometimes bringing in outside experience (the so called 'adult supervision') can be very important for a company. Eric Schmidt did a great job doing this for Google, before he assumed the role as chairman, leaving the CEO post for the founders at a later point.
Similar to your first point, I like to find parts of my life that I'm CURIOUS about, and automate them or make a model/simulation of them. This technique has the added bonus of deepening your understanding of that aspect of your life.

For example, I've been a hobbyist songwriter / composer for a good part of my life. Recently I've taken up creating a procedural musical composition generator, and boy have I learned more about music theory in the past few months than I have in the past few years. Additionally, I've gained significant insight into my own musical tendencies. Not to mention, a programming product that I'm both proud of and interested in using/improving.
Isn't it really hard to know what you would or wouldn't do in such a situation? What if he's just kinda tired, you know?
Not really. Stock C64 plus 1mb cartridge.

The big innovation was Pex's discovery of a way to output 8 bit samples by a single register write on the SID chip. The chip was never designed for outputing digital samples, and the approach leverages basically a bug in the chip design to achieve this.

The only innovative bit in this new demo (besides presuming to use a cartridge for storage) is the vector quantized compression technique.

Show HN: Extend Markdown on Static Sites with Inline JavaScript (Hexo/Vue.js)
And thank: Facebook Google and Twitter!
Whereas effective leaders are required to manage not only the day-to-day, but turning the core vision into an actual business plan that can pay employees rather than just burn VC money. My experience is the opposite; I've worked at two companies where the founder has returned to be CEO and in both cases they were highly ineffective.
I've had to do audits of apps that required you to be connected to a specific Wifi AP (usually with a dev server instance attached) to function.
I studied finance and still am the world’s worst stock picker. Every time I’ve experiment with investing in individual stocks I’ve lost money. Yet we ask every Tom, Dick, and Harry out there to manage their own asset allocation. It’s madness. I dump my meager savings 1/2 into a savings account and 1/2 into a low fee diversified mutual fund, since that option “sucks less” than all the other shitty options available to us normal people.

My parents (and their generation) who enjoy robust defined-benefit pensions are laughing at me and my generation for sure.
Hi all -- we're using Hexo for our website. For our API docs we wanted to provide 'live' runnable code snippets in Markdown, so I came up with a way to make it easy for anyone on our team to add tiny Javascript apps in Markdown with a simple tag. Thought HN might find it useful too and happy to answer any questions.

The link above lets you play with live examples; GitHub repo here: https://github.com/flexiodata/markdown-components.
I really doubt their yearly revenue for user with ads would be more than 5 dollars a year. So, 10 dollars a year. Add some nice corner-case features, maybe some gamefication bonus, and it could work.

As a sidenote, "add $5 and round to the nearest ten" is equivalent to "round to the next ten" everytime.

i guess it's a cycle. When a company needs to innovate to build its first iterations then the founder role is crucial, but then come the time of finding the best way to make money out of the product, and have a sustainable and well organized company. In that moment, (technical) founders find themselves a bit bored. The ideal would be for them to get back to pure R&D for a year or two, to discover more paths for the company's future. The problem is that carriers in a company only go one direction. Once you are a C-something the only way left is out.
Being without a job is not without risk either.
The reason the minimum ACA plans cost so much is that they don't have coverage limits. Much of the cost reflects how expensive medical events can be.

Except that you need to compare against the Cricket $60 unlimited deal that offers tethering and throttles it at 6GB. Even then they aren't quite on par since you don't have the 10 free data sim cards, free international data, and ability to make and receive calls from any device that has hangouts installed.

Google Fi is also flexible in that you don't have to spend $80 a month if you are using less. When I don't have to do a bunch of tethering for work, I usually spend $30 - $40 a month total.

Thus Google Fi cheaper for a variety of use cases. Different plans/carriers are cheaper for different use cases. Just because a carrier other than Google Fi is cheaper for your use case doesn't make Google Fi outrageously expensive.
It doesn't even use two arms to do the job, and is using too much mortar...
Americans use propaganda in other countries to enforce their own political agenda. Even if we just look at Hollywood. The thing is everybody knows and expects America doing this, and this is happening for years so it's not a current news spectacle.

"The Facebook Privacy Setting That Doesn't Do Anything at All

'I really can't make sense of it.'

Gergely Biczok, CrySys Lab"

https://www.wired.com/story/facebook-privacy-setting-doesnt-...
"Despite its simplicity, you should never ever use basic authentication over HTTP! Basic authentication should only be considered over HTTPS."

Small correction: You should NEVER EVER use ANY authentication mechanism over HTTP. Basic authentication has its uses, and for those use cases it works fine using HTTPS
I'd concur, the generalization of one being better than the other just doesn't fit. I've worked for companies that fit into both situations and it really comes down to whether the founder had the skills to begin with or whether they were willing to admit that they needed help on the day-to-day operations & maintenance, etc.
There is a reason why most startups don't go big - burning vision is not even close to being the right formula for success. Running a company of 10 people is VERY different from running a company of 100, which is VERY VERY different from running a company of 1000. Just like precious few individual contributors are comfortable with and able to contribute meaningfully in this wide range of environments, it doesn't make sense that a CEO is somehow exempted from that. The day-to-day operations are in fact incredibly different and present unique challenges.

Note: I'm not saying this is what's happening here, just responding to the general comment above.
Drivers should be paying attention to their immediate surroundings while stopped. Especially because the signals may change, or they may need to move for emergencies services or to evade a careening car heading their way.
Even in that case the overall system is still at fault for not recognizing their incompetence and either training them to be competent or getting rid of them.
Those pictures are amazing. The United States has been having similar problems, just without the scale. See this article recently about the Dallas bikeshare program: http://money.cnn.com/2018/02/05/technology/dallas-bikeshare-...
Co pays can address the utilization problem, at least to some extent. That way you have a reason not to go in for every little thing but don't get slammed by a big bill from a specialist.

This is probably an unpopular opinion but I think Facebook has done exactly what everyone predicted they would do. I don't think that means they are not at fault in certain ways but ultimately the power to sway the election doesn't come from Facebook directly, it came from Americans seeming hatred of each other. If we had some basic level of civility and compromise on both sides, then Facebook would not have the power it does to sway elections.
This is really the root cause of a lot of problems right now and blaming everything but the polarization is probably just making it worse.

I think their blog being hugged to death is a good example of how this technology (read: web backend tech in general, not containers) is still too complicated for people in general to use it for simple cases, like scaling the load of otherwise static content.

It sounds like they own the copyright and are dual licensing. However they don't accept contributions (without a copyright assignment) since they wouldn't be able to dual license the contribution.
No. With the bitstream only just frozen, I expect decoder/encoder wrappers for libaom to take a few months.
I was thinking something similar. OpenCV has lots of pieces of the puzzle, but the quality is... inconsistent. For instance, I've had repeatable segfaults from doing RANSAC (which of course disappear in the debugger and Valgrind). There have also been some significant feature regressions since the 2.x --> 3.x migration, and the build system breaks every time MSVC upgrades.

If you'd like to release something like this I'd be happy to contribute. I have a background in SLAM, embedded and photogrammetry, so this is something I could really get behind.
What use is a number for such a speculative article with no real evidence? If he had said 1 year, 5 years, 50 years, would that have added any value to the article, or would it have just launched discussion about why that exact number is wrong, but if it had been 5 years longer (or sooner), then it'd be spot on.
It falls around 220th in the November 2012 list, and would make it onto the top 10 for the November 2007 list (comparing Rpeak) and the June 2008 list (comparing Rmax).

Systems of comparable performance in the top 10 used between 300-500 kW (30-50x the DGX2).

Red Storm, which has a listed Rpeak of 127 TFLOPs and placed sixth in the November 2007 TOP500, was "relatively inexpensive," costing only in the ballpark of $75M (~180x the price of the DGX2).
I maintain multiple troll accounts on Twitter and Facebook. That's all I use these services for. I take pride in my active part in the downfall of these services, while at the same time producing intriguing and low-brow troll content.

Once Mark Zuckerberg accepts the fact that not everyone uses the Internet according to his sheltered brain's arbitrary rules (I've even had to send a picture of my driver's license to Facebook to get them to unban one of my accounts. It's just a website! Get over yourselves), then the bubble will pop - with small communities scattered throughout the multiverse of the net just like Web 1.0.

And that's basically it. The web is a multiverse where each of us are simultaneously able to have multiple identities, living multiple realities. It's never been suited to the rules that Facebook is trying to force people into. I feel like Facebook would be better off making their own Internet if they want people to adhere to their bullshit.
For one, Waze's whole raison d'etre is to collect data from drivers.

The remarkatble thing is less the compression of a 3:12 video with sound in 1MB, and more the c64 being able to decode it in realtime with a framerate > 10.

> If you're serious about the cryptographic security of your entropy source, you should probably short, or put a 75 Ohm load on the antenna port, and put the whole assembly in a shielded box. Then you're getting entropy from the thermal noise of the amplifiers which is much harder to interfere with than atmospheric radio.

Being off by 1% or 2% is huge. For example, look at page 24 and see what the differences could be. Every 1% change in discount rate can lead to changes of ~15% in liability.

https://www.varetire.org/Pdf/Publications/VRS-Stress-Test-an...

There's a reason that non-taxpayer funded entities have to use much more conservative discount rates, based on high grade bonds. Might be a around 4% or 5%. No reason for taxpayer funded pension plans to be using anything riskier.

CEOs that succeed also have the correct burning vision. CEOs with a flawed vision often drive companies into the ground. I'm not talking about anyone specific here, just noting that many founding CEOs hold too tightly to their own personal vision rather than adjusting it to the market's demands to create a solid direction.

So if Russian propaganda is "not okay", what does that make the United States's long history of intervention in other country's politics and elections? We haven't stopped at propaganda, though we certainly do plenty of that. We also have a history of military action, both covert and overt, against other countries whose elections and policies we don't like.

Complaining primarily about Russia's interference in our 2016 election is willful blindness. Every country tries to influence every other country's elections. Russia (if the allegations are true) may have done it better this time, or used methods that were more detectable, and got more attention because of how shocking the election turned out.

At least some of what Russia (allegedly, I'm unconvinced whether it was Russia or Seth Rich like Assange implied) leaked (the hacked DNC emails) was really important political information that the people had a right to know. Do you think the DNC had a right to keep private their Hillary favoritism and primary rigging? I don't care if Russia leaked it, Seth Rich leaked it, or some Tuvalu aborigines leaked it. Russian and other countries' intelligence agencies hack everything they can; that doesn't mean they're the source of a particular leak.
It's awesome just for the photography.
Where exactly was that claim made?
USSR exported their SAMs to China starting in 1950s. They had a mutual defense treaty before the split. The treaty did not end the moment fissures started to appear. I can't find any report on the defense tech exports to China well after the split. If you have references please share.

Keep in mind that even now Russia sells rocket engines to the US.
To be frank, you are wasting my time by repeatedly ignoring the facts that I've outlined. Providing poor excuses for why these facts are, doesn't negate them as facts.

The encoding had fuck all to do with security.

> The HTTP protocol unlike its sibling HTTPS is not encrypted. So it means that everyone on internet can see what you send.

No, that's not how it works at all. I have to be somewhere in between you and the server to see what you're transmitting in plain text. I can't just read random fucking data from Joe Bloggs.

> It means that all of our HTTP calls are open to any malicious hacker sitting in between us and the server

Oh ok, you know that. So why sensationalize your previous point?

You're missing the point, if it's unencrypted it doesn't matter where the data is.
