I think you have never met any eight year olds, if you think they are really that stupid that it would be a problem.
Unless you sheltered the poor kid to the point of making him a mushroom, he's more than rational enough to understand any hazard you take the time to tell him about. My daughter is 8, and I would have no worries with her encountering ammunition around the house because I would tell her how it works, which part of it causes it to explode, and how to handle it.

A kid that does stupid things has probably not had the 5 minutes spent with him, telling him the possible hazards.

Kids (and adults) also do stupid things because they know the hazards but feel like they are smart enough to overcome those hazards. Doing hazardous things that are known to be hazardous is no more likely at 8 than at 18. In fact it's less likely at 8. We get braver and do stupider things ("Hold my beer for a minute and watch this") as we get older.
What about snapping a few frames—maybe 33%, 50% and 66% of the way into the video—and doing a simple face detection?

Perhaps, on top of that, a histogram comparison of the same frames, which should capture if the video is pretty much lyrics on a static background.
Things can change quickly. When Ethereum goes to proof-of-stake the market will be flooded with cheap 1080Tis. A moderately well-funded lab should (by the end of 2018) be able to buy 100 1080Tis in DeepLearning11 servers for 100K Euro and do cool work in distributed learning and model architecture search.

SoTA in Cifar-10 and ImageNet is now model-architecture search. This paper/blog was an eye-opener for me:

You're making lots of arguments by analogy here, and they're all just not correct. I'm not sure how better to explain it. Yes, it is theoretically possible to do a style of dimensionality reduction that would not destroy very much information. But nobody uses models like that to make predictions. The models people actually use to make predictions destroy enormous quantities of information, and reduce dimensionality in the extreme. It is not like compressing a JPEG. It is like looking at a photograph of a person and remembering that someone with brown hair was in it.
If you can beat the HB and Ostwald processes, I say go for it. I think the idea behind carbon capture from serious people is: 1. That it should be solar powered / low energy 2. Catalyst cheap as dirt, so that 3. CO2 in the air is free, so you'd basically have the plant start up costs and then the rest is free money. Also envy of the plants for making it look easy.

Anybody saying it would make a dent on the global CO2 consumption is just spouting grant proposal talk, for the entropic reasons everyone else is talking about on this thread, or else is a crazy geoengineering nut.

That being said, if you dig into it, most groups that publish papers on the subject do it as an interesting sideline / something to grab some low hanging attention. It's really just checked out as a side effect of other things, like being able to functionalize hard to move chemical groups.

One of my Fe compounds could capture CO2 gas and convert it into oxalic acid ( H2O + 2CO2 =cat=> H2(CO2)2 + 1/2O2 ) ... almost a whole 50 cycles before it got poisoned by its own O2 production (the compound burst into flames in air, btw). But it could also functionalize one of the lowest energy N bonds known, and in a selective fashion. It was floated as a means for a two step synthesis of some kidney drug, but ... the bursting into flame thing.
I think he just means the move constructor is not guaranteed to move anything. It is only expected to.
As I still remember the days when Flash ads hung the web browser, I was ever so grateful when multiprocess for plugins came about and I could Flash without killing the web browser.
It’s not that strange. I wear earplugs (although they are low profile hidden ones) if I’m going to a loud venue, such as a really loud bar, or club, or a concert. It increases my enjoyment of these places and also makes it easier to have conversations with people.
with immutable I mean that a value (value 1 and 2 in your example) can never change, you can reassign the variable to a new value though. If I understand the article correctly values in Rust and C++ can change eg. the memory location of the bits representing the value. Making it possible to shoot yourself in the foot if you don't know how the internals work, more so then in JavaScript as it's much more to keep track of. Even though it seems to be Rust's motto to limit such cases.
And I agree? that using const in JavaScript is like wearing a tin foil hat - it will rarely save you. If I have something that can change globally I make it upper case so it stands out and don't collide with other variables. And "use strict" should tell if you forgot to var(let/const) a variable. (unless there's a HTML id attribute with the same name) =)
With Kubernetes now being mature and fairly easy to install, you can have essentially your own AWS for peanuts using OVH.
I absolutely see no reason why paying such a premium to use "conventional" cloud providers when you can have your own portable infrastructure nowadays.
I believe this type of QoS would easily violate “net neutrality”, which is why it hasn’t happened yet.

I've been hearing this from conservative friends/relatives for months now before Trump started speaking out and have tried like heck to find a citation or rebuttal and am very interested in one.
Once I forgot to login and add funds for a few days. My entire VPS was deleted. Now I don't use OVH.

Completely. I can't believe people actually pay Akamai.

Citation requested.

Not to mention their product itself isn't too good. I always get forced to Captcha on some ridiculous cloud flare "protected" site, despite not using a VPN or anything out of the ordinary.
I'm middle eastern. I've been followed by a police car for 15-20 minutes at a time (even out of their local jurisdiction) three times so far.

This has always happened when I'm driving in a rich neighborhood.

Targeting definitely does happen. I'm not the only person with stories like this.

For the record I'm in Pennsylvania.
If the vast majority of software is not made by real developers (and I think by the definitions you are espousing it is not), then I think one of the definitions is in need to change.

As beneficial to your argument as it would be for that change to be the definition of "software", I don't think that's likely.
I commented on your parent post before reading this...

Nice catch on the thumbnails that YouTube already captures. A histogram comparison between the second and third auto-generated thumbnails from the lyrics video was mostly equivalent when I ran one. That would be a good sign that it's not the actual music video.

This might sound really obvious but you know you can do "make -j12" or some other number, right?
I only use dashboard when I buy a server and perform installation. It is pretty good these days and automatic renewal also works. In my opinion it is much better than AWS - as in simpler.
1Password costs 36 USD/year. Lastpass costs 24 USD/year (from 12 USD/year since they got bought by LogMeIn). Bitwarden costs 12 USD/year (if you use 2FA), and Bitwarden is open source. Easy choice if you ask me.
Why did you start wearing earplugs? I know in the online music community that developing tinnitus is a fear/paranoia akin to fear of surveillance in the tech community-- not that these fears are unfounded, but many of such types tend to obsess.

Is this the case with you? What happened to you that impacted your life to this point?
I have to ask, since this is HN and I presume the typical member has no experience, do you know the damage that crack, or even plain powder cocaine can do to a person? Have you truly witnessed that devastation first hand?

I have. I have no sympathy for someone who chooses to peddle drugs. One can speak about the difference in crack and powder cocaine sentencing, fair. Still, these are not marijuana. They can and will destroy lives.

That this man made it to America and chose to engage in crime says much of his character and willingness to watch humans slip into the abyss.
The Brazilian representative for Shure refused to replace my phone at the time and I decided to just let it go.

I did not simply upgrade at the time partially because I was at odds with Shure because of this. Ten years later, the anger has faded, and I'm considering them again.

Would you say that a SE215 (their lowest-priced), has a good isolation? I'd use it mostly for podcasts, so I don't care much about sound quality.
What do you mean when you say “detect and handle IPv6/64 subnets”?

I’m not too familiar with IPv6 but would love to improve support for it if the project is deficient somehow.
I was unable to set up their Open Stack and the support didn't help, but at least I got refund. But their dedicated server is pretty good and you can easily setup Kubernetes on it.

I would quickly disabuse yourself of the notion that all values are immutable in JavaScript, as otherwise you will cause yourself and colleagues a lot of pain in future. As someone that has to write or maintain a lot of JavaScript, saying that I don't have to think about data changing over the course of a program doesn't strike me as true at all (I wish it was).

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Data...

As linked, only some of the primitive values in javascript are immutable. So while you can be confident in this:

const x = 'a perfectly well formed string';

// lots of code in between

console.log(x) // will always print 'a perfectly well formed string'

You cannot be confident in this at all:

const x = {

a: 'a perfectly well formed string within an object'

};

// lots of code in between

console.log(x.a) // absolutely no guarantee that x.a will point at the same string as at the time x was initialized as an object, or that the key will even exist (will fallback to the type 'undefined' if you attempt to read it).

JavaScript has references and values like most languages, but you aren't dealing with memory as explicitly as Rust or C. The reason is in large part because memory is garbage collected in Javascript.
> I consider - maybe Andy was sceptical about his faith, seeing the amount of money changing hands over church-related goods and services, and found that his ability to obtain wealth through iconography was no less cynical.

It's not clear what you're trying to say. According to the article he was quite religious, attending mass nearly daily. Baseless suspicions of skepticism and cynicism seem biased. Also, what does "amount of money changing hands over church-related goods and services" and "obtaining wealth through iconography" mean? Are you claiming the Church is an cynical, money-making business?
Posts like these are fascinating, but constant comments like these just take me entirely out of the story:

> [far away from earth,] there's no mechanic shop nearby to get a tune-up.

Did someone from marketing write this to dumb it down or something? It seems so random when two sentences down they talk about milliseconds and assembler language without explaining the terms.
There is a nuance here though: unlike a "classic" car, tesla and other modern cars clearly have access to a wealth of data about your driving and your crash. The scope of lying by omission, of even simply misinterpreting the wealth of data is much larger.

I do think it's reasonable to ask of them to either keep completely silent; or to be completely open - perhaps by giving complete access to all data to a truly independent third party, and not picking which facts they think are fit for public consumption, and which are not.

I admire what Tesla has achieved - but this is a company under considerable pressure. They may well go bankrupt; and every incident matters. They are under terrible pressure to massage those facts to make them look good. I can't help but treat any statement like this no differently to any other ad - it's easily possible to be misleading even when there is some possible interpretation that isn't an intentional untruth.

Everybody knows people aren't good at sitting around doing nothing and maintaining focus. Distracted driving isn't a new risk. So the question is: are the safety benefits to a driver aid really greater than the risk they cause by encouraging distraction? Even if the driver aid catches 99% of all risks, that may yet be a net negative. Personally, I don't think it's reasonable for a system that encourages distracted driving to then claim it was the driver's fault they were distracted. No amount of small print or big fat warnings can ever excuse ignoring reality. If the autopilot is contributing to driver inattention, then the driver's inattention is no longer just the driver's fault. Not that I'm at all sure that's what's happening here, but there are some ominous indications, that is for sure. Without an autopilot, who takes their hands off the wheel for more than 6 seconds on a drive like that?
The Hidden Hand Fraud Forum
It is simple, you pay.

I don't see how it is unfair for a website to ask for a payment in exchange for access to its content.

Maybe HN should allow to add a [paywall] tag so you know what you are in for.
I agree about constexpr, templates and exceptions.

But C function pointers are not really emulating virtual functions. They're better and more powerful than virtual functions.
Hmm, fair point. Do you have a suitable substitution?
I don't think pointing out how disconnected half of the userbase here is is unsubstantive. 99% of people who use Facebook has not the fainstest idea of what Facebook is doing, why they're doing it, and why it might be wrong. Still, on each of these threads the top comment invariably starts with "why is anyone surprised that.. etc". I could find you links to prove my point, but I'm can't believe you're not aware of this. So I strongly disagree my comment is unsubstantive.
You could also say: Facebook is monetizing advertisers, not users.
And: They collect nothing whatsoever from free social media marketing.

The point is that Apple has users and user data, and companies come to Apple to make money on their users while paying Apple to get access.
That’s a choice you make, though. If you have sensitive garbage, you can dispose of it by other means.
They don't pay as well as facebook and google on initial offers. So if you have a choice...

Most people aren't willing to sacrifice to apple either, since they have a lot of money in the bank.
That is a misconception.

It’s totally legitimate to provide QoS based on open protocols, or even for particular classes of traffic. Net neutrality comes into play where providers start prioritising traffic based on the remote service provider.

Never start from a news article, unless your goal is to help others by debunking it. News articles rarely reflect the research they claim to report on, and even if they did, they'd be reporting on a highly skewed subset of the research.

Read sources that are intended for people who genuinely care about getting the right answer. For exercise, that means writing where the target audience is professional athletes and their coaches. For nutrition, try to start from Wikipedia (if you don't have a specific question) or PubMed (if you do). Carefully avoid anything that's focused on weight loss, because that's where the crackpots, laymen and officially-respectable conmen are.

Japan has the longest life expectancy and the lowest obesity rate. Every time you see a claim about what a good diet is, check it against the Japanese diet; if the Japanese are doing the supposedly-bad thing, reject both the advice and its source.
Facebook Employees Are Reportedly Deleting Controversial Internal Messages
I'd check the level of noise isolation, since that is likely to be the main difference. Custom in-ear with wrapped tips (Comply) seems to be the best you can get (roughly -26 dB). They aren't total isolation -- I have fairly good hearing and can still hear people talking next to me if there's nothing playing through them -- but put any kind of sound through them at almost any volume and I might as well be alone.
This reminds me of the long conversations that I used to have with family members and friends several years ago. With their continuous requests to create my own Facebook profile so I can keep in contact with them and with their activities as well as to share my whereabouts. I always used the same argument to reject these suggestions — "I don't want Facebook to have too much data about me, more than the data that you already provided".

I got used to the looks of disbelief, thinking that I was some sort of hermit, an antisocial.

I also got tired of answering the frequent "Why don't you have Facebook?" questions.

I remember the last time I had this conversation with someone, last year (2017) around August. I found a new love partner, and after the long intimate talks on the phone, they requested the usual "intimate pictures", not necessarily sexual but certainly sexy. While I have no tabus with regards to my sexuality, having an understanding of how the Internet works, I have always refused to send that type of images/videos/audios, and I always tried to be patient with the other person to explain my constant denials. Unfortunately, expecting a non-tech-savvy person to understand how data moves around the Internet is most of the time based on hope, and even if they understand, they ultimately don't care because the result doesn't change: you don't get to share something with them and that affects personal interactions.

I am sure that the deletion of media files in services like Facebook has never meant to be absolute. Many of my colleagues believe the same thing that I believe: Facebook and other services do not actually delete data, they just mark it as "deleted" and purge it only if they need the space. The same way a hard drive works, you don't really delete a picture when you hit the "delete" key, nor even if you clear the "trash" folder, the data is still there, where it was, it just loses the links to the metadata.

It is sad how this information becomes news only when bad things happen.
Maybe the toolchain no longer runs on modern architectures?

Mac VR here we come. About time; this will be one of their bigger errors.
We do, but outside of California, it's a cakewalk. Mostly checks for functional brake lights, turn signals, wipers, etc. And, again, outside of California, some minimal emissions tests you'll pass unless your car is seriously ailing.
nginx for example can enable gzip by content-type or depending on gzip_min_length, it's very flexible. All in all, just curious if there's a deeper reason.
You never needed browser multiprocess for that on linux. It was easy to just kill the plugin process. I don't know about windows.
The non-exposed rats are more likely to die than the exposed ones. That's the important part of the study. I'm not sure what kind of "independent expert" will "reevaluate" the data to underline risks that don't actually matter.
I think you're absolutely correct, and moreover that the difference comes from that it's in Toyota's best interest to think about the long term, play good guy and dip into their rainy day money for any costs associated with that.

Whereas with Tesla, they're leveraged out to here with stock valuation based on promises and projections, and if their key tech is perceived as seriously flawed, they're not going to exist as a company in the long term.
This was really great. Very well written story.

The fact that he was able to re-invent himself so many times is a testament to human will and adaptability. I'd wager his violin training in some way prepared him for "what it takes" to change careers, or to excel at a new endeavor.
Facebook is powerful and insular. Taking it down requires extraordinary organisation. Outrage is helpful in that respect.

Agreement is better than disagreement. Would I prefer we had agreement earlier? Yes. Is agreement today better than agreement tomorrow? Absolutely.

Now that we have a constituency, the important thing is to mobilise. The past is in the past. Our job, in the present, is to protect the future.
Ask HN: Is anybody else getting Facebook phony tagged-photo spam in their feeds?
I've seen this using multiple, unrelated Facebook users in my feed:

There's a fake Ray-Ban "Official Site" (rbdxxx.com, not the true Ray-Ban site, but a scammer) that used to generate fake recommendation posts from friends, presumably ones with weak permissions and/or passwords.

In the past 2 weeks, I've seen multiple cases of a fake Ray-Ban site now generating fake "1-day sale" ads as photos in somebody's Facebook photo set and then broadcasting ads by "tagging" each of their friends as being in the fake-photo-ad, which then generates an ad in each of their friends of the form "(Your friend name) was tagged in a photo."

The only flagging mechanism I see is to:

- click on the ellipsis

- select "Give feedback on this photo"

- click Spam

- click Send

... but it's built around being disciplinary to the Facebook user, and they lack a means of calling attention to the underlying fraudster.
I do that, they cost about €20. Many people wear them at a metal concert, I'm a bit unusual in wearing them in an ordinary metal bar (or even a loud pub) too. If I'm taking a crowded metro train home, I might keep them in since I don't want to hear the drunk people.

But I wouldn't wear them outside those times.

"straigh from the"
Interesting. The containerized weapons packages sound a lot like the LCS' "mission modules," which were supposed to let those ships be changed around on the fly to fit a bunch of different missions (anti-surface, anti-submarine, mine clearance) depending on what capabilities were needed at any given moment. But in practice the mission modules turned out to be a huge pain to support and change out, so the Navy has mostly dropped the idea and set up its LCSes in fixed configurations.

What are the Russians doing right with the Project 22160s that made the idea practical for them when it wasn't for the LCS? Or is it just a case where the 22160s are too new for practical experience to have taken the shine off the concept for them yet?
