> What is the distinction between the two that changes the justification?

That one is a form of bias whereas the other is the opposite of bias: you don't want elements of an ongoing inquest to be released independently because they don't provide a complete picture of the investigative results, and thus provide a biased outlook on the event.

> I see those things as part of each other, as in institutional secrecy is bred from ongoing inquests in perpetuity.

NTSB inquests have never been "ongoing in perpetuity". They provide thorough and extensive public reports.

Their entire purpose is to minimise future risk and they're very good at that. The point of discretion until all the facts are in (what you insultingly call "institutional secrecy") is that until as much as possible is known, there may be a major piece missing from the data which changes everything.
I was referring to the text referenced in the parent. There is nothing misleading about it. In fact it's very informative.

The statistics around self self driving is a very complex topic. Regardless, thirst for outrage aside, even if sdc's are less safe now it's still worth pushing through as long term they will cost less lives once we get it right.
Nope. The point of AMP is for Google to boost certain high-traffic pages with ads in its search results. Because ads == revenue.

Google already has the tools to detect fast rendering pages, though they've more or less stopped talking about them after the introduction of AMP.
Really impressed! Took a quick look at page source, a couple of observations on why it's fast:

1. Plain, small html - page size is 6.1 kb (request took 700ms for me, I guess the server side rendering is pretty fast too), css file 11kb; note html, css and js are all properly minified

2. Font-awesome and jquery at the bottom of page to not block page rendering, both loaded throught cdn (although a fallback jQuery exists)

3. Site's own js is only 5.6k

4. No large static assets, only image on page is an svg dlogo

5. Did not check with js off, but saw hints of decent fallbacks for no-script
And even they might not know that they're "not telling us", because the investigation is ongoing and who knows what'll be uncovered?
Why should ICOCLAP be the first choice when it comes to listing ICO?
Well, pretty sure you can give a lambda denotation of those. Just start by implementing an interpreter in lamda-calculus ;p
How is Go anti FP? It's anti-generic programming and I think that's a great idea.

As a side note, there are a LOT of considerations that are implicit within a language when you do functional programming. Let me explain. Let's consider a `map` function. There are at least 2 ways to write a non-generic map function:

func MapSafe(f func(int) int, l []int) []int {
retVal := make([]int, len(l)
for i := range l {
retVal[i] = f(l[i])
}
return retVal
}

func MapClobber(f func(int) int, l []int) []int {
for i := range l {
l[i] = f(l[i])
}
}

Any good FP-er will tell you clobbering data is NOT a good idea - that functional programming is all about immutable data. Yeah, the immutable data version however, allocates memory. So you either need:

a) impressive compiler building skills to reason that for some application of `map` clobbering can be done, and for others it cannot;
b) failing to do that, you would need a very awesome GC that handles memory that work on a very short timescale (that is, within callframes)

Rust is nice in the sense that the compiler does a LOT of the heavy lifting, but it's far from userfriendly. Requiring users to manage and be clear about memory ownership is a Hard Sell (though I will concede, a Good Idea). Haskell is another language which relies heavily on the compiler, and GHC is an amazing compiler. However, performance for Haskell isn't that great. It's on the opposite end of the scale: super user friendly, offloads a lot of work to the compiler, but suffers in performance.

The problem is I don't think we're there yet. Not with Go, but with functional languages. State wrangling is still a problem. Running away from it by hiding under layers of functional language works for a small number of problems (business rules,etc) but in my view, not the majority of the problems. Programmers don't spend a lot of time on high level problems.

A long time ago, there was a compiler for Haskell called JHC. It was nice because you could use it to write C, which would expose the underlying state for the programmer to modify to her heart's content. The project's been dead for 5-6 years now I think. GHC has a weird --from-c option that I've never been able to use mainly because you needed to recompile GHC from scratch, which again is something I struggle with and rapidly give up.
this is a troll level 1^10^10^10

look at the amount of details & care that went into this...

nearly got me until the doge customer review!
when is the ICO?
Most functional languages (ocaml, lisp, etc) support reassignment though.
What Color is Your Function? (2015)
Sure, but that would be an object language embedded in the lambda calculus, not the lambda calculus itself.

btw, variants of the lambda calculus do exist where some values (so-called “reference cells”) are object identities. But a value cannot be a lambda abstraction and a reference cell at the same time.

These types of mattresses have a limited shelf-life in their 'compressed' state and can only be stored within a specific temperature range.

I say it is more akin to shipping produce than TVs. We don't get the majority of our veggies from a single farm for all of the US.
Are you aware that Pai was originally appointed to the FCC by Obama?
A few years ago we shopped for a mattress here in Silicon Valley. Size was California King which is, IIRC, 4" longer than a standard King, but 4" narrower. First mom-and-pop store we went to, prices were $599-$3000ish. Running a "no sales tax" promotion (they always are).

My wife and I spent an hour trying different beds and through all the firm and soft and plush and ultrafirm ultradeluxe ultraplush nonsense.

Talked to the salesman, and he pretty much said the only difference between the REALLY low end $599 ones, and the $799+ ones, was coil count. Once you hit 799+, he told us, it was all kinds of toppers and so on. But the coil count doesn't effect warranty or how often you should replace it.

My wife's favorite bed was the $599 simple firm one. That was my second favorite by a narrow margin; my favorite was way down her list.

Delivered to our house a day or two later; again, no sales tax, no need for a box spring because we had a platform bed.

It's still a REALLY REALLY industry, and I'm not saying Americans don't pay more than they should, but I'm not sure our price range is particularly out of whack with what you saw, and this is for coils, not foam.

At Ikea you can easily get a cheap foam mattress; we have one in our guest room. I've slept on it when I'm sick. It's fine. I don't prefer it, but if it's all I ever knew, or if I spent as much time on one as I've spent on coil mattresses, it might well be my favorite.

Yet, not many people here buy foam mattresses, or mattress from Ikea at all.

Perhaps the bias is just that Ikea = cheap, but some trendy internet-advertised foam brand with a new name and a fresh face must be some new high-tech amazing thing.
When the last election's campaigns were ramping up, I went into my Google interests sections and made every effort to tell it I was disinterested in politics and the 2 big names. I only started getting MORE political content until it overwhelmed my feed. For a few months I tried swiping it all away whenever I checked, but seemed to get zero response. I then started telling it I'm not interested in any stories from any sources that report anything political. In other words, I blocked the mainstream media. It got significantly better, but it still tries to shoehorn in a few articles on these topics by pulling from obscure local news outlets that are from the other side of the country.
According to the Firefox bug report, this was an Apple bug (related to TCP Fast Open) fixed in macOS 10.13.4. When I updated to 10.13.4, the panic went away.
I've seen a similar result with video games. I'd much rather play a self contained single player game that I can play through once than be hooked into a multiplayer adrenaline fest (for me that was team fortress 2 and left 4 dead).

Ask HN: Women of HN, tell us about yourself and your journey in tech so far?
I almost never come across women on HN in the comments section or anywhere else.

I am interested in knowing about women in tech and their journey, stories and challenges.

Feel free to share anything you like.

I'll start first. I am a 27 year old female from India. I work as an ERP developer. I have spent almost 5 years in the industry and have been active on HN for more than an year now.

Not that I know too much about machine learning but even in my very limited experience with homework we came across the problem of over fitting: where our model fits the noise of the training data too well but will not perform well against other real world data.

I can't even imagine the amount of data being generated by the fleets at waymo and others but compared to all the infinite possibilities I must assume their data set is tiny.
ome can just look at the state of autonomous robots in industrial plants. they do a handful of functions, they have limited reach and they have predictable patterns and yet when you add humans to the mix all kind of dangerous conditions arise to the point most robots sharing space with humans need to be caged

this is our current state of the art with automation and safety and yet we allow companies to slap a radar and a pretend safety driver and hurl a ton of metal down the pubblic roads

autonomous vehicle will undoubtedly at some point be safer than human, but shortcutting known limitations like radars vs dodging static objects because 'drivers are the backup' is lunacy and the recent deaths are just a symptom of people never having worked in safety system design playing fast and loose with human lifes, and the companies which enable that should be made an example of by courts.

some years ago serious automaker did their analisys and come up with the concept of designing the anticollision system first and use those as a backup to autonomous driving technology, that somehow has been lost in the race for profitability.

Retail mattress shopping is insane. I went to nordstrom/macys to look at mattresses and the foam ones were retailing for like 3,000$ dollars. Checked out Amazon and found some for 1/10th the price and decided it was easily worth the gamble.

2 years later and I have no complaints with my 300$ Amazon foam mattress.
Blockchain = https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Audit_trail + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_key_infrastructure
Looks like the same price as two or three others I've seen.
I haven't looked into it more than the five minutes surfing around after reading this article, so maybe I should look into it more.

It was hard to find info on their visual cms like editor in the few minutes I poked around Contentful's site. Maybe their CMS like editor is really simple/similar to wordpress I will read some more.

Another quick thought is wordpress has a huge amount of plugins that these non-technical clients are used to, so probably some retooling would be needed to reproduce what they want.

I have no problem creating and updating static sites myself so the only need really is to provide clients a way to add content and mess around with site through a visual cms (e.g. use a visual editor plugin to add new slideshow type content and change layouts).
Absolutely. It makes me laugh when the article says spring boot is opinionated - for dropwizard that meant picking the best tool for the job, for spring boot it seems to mean picking the spring tool for the job. I guess that's just the way the spring ecosystem is, but as a philosophy it's not one I'd be proudly stating.
Independent App Review: TSheets
You can use Java explicit configurations without Spring boot magic. Using XML to configure an app is so backward to me and prone to error, not to mention debugging. When I see xml config file in 2018 I want to poke my eye out.
I don't 100% disagree. The reason is that the lambda approach is much more declarative; it's a composition of parameterized parts using a standardized interface. That means it can easily be parallelized, for example, and if Java were a little more introspectable, it might even be distributed, restartable or even converted into code in a different system, like LINQ targets SQL.

Toy examples are toys; they're usually easily broken, since the simplicity required for pedagogy leaves a poor ratio of problem difficulty to solution power. I wouldn't write the example code as a stream either, but I much prefer the approach when the complexity level increases only slightly.
Where does this say AMP wasn't motivated by speed? From the link:

> We started working on AMP because we were seeing the mobile web feel clunky and slow, falling behind the tightly-integrated, highly-optimized user experiences that walled garden platforms can offer. Yet we also knew there wasn’t a fundamental technology problem: you could build great experiences on the web with the right knowledge, resources, and management support. Thus we set out to create a framework that would provide a well-lit path to building great web-based experiences: AMP would be well documented, easily deployable, validatable, and opinionated about user-first principles.
All affiliate sites eventually become this way. As a data point from someone who owns a NextDesk Terra and a Jarvis Fully, though, I agree with the basic point of the article. The Jarvis is functionally equivalent to the NextDesk even though the NextDesk is clearly a more luxe and high-end product. I'd compare the difference to the Acura and Infiniti Q45 that I owned... both were great cars and totally reliable, and I crashed both of them badly and walked away unscathed, but the Infiniti was just one level higher in fit and finish.
I...always thought they were pretty up front that their revenue model was affiliate marketing.

No, because of that multiplier all companies are coming into compliance and it's costing all of them a lot of money. But it isn't going to affect their revenue or advertising business models at all because nobody uses the tool. I've done GDPR work at one of the biggest tech companies in the world. They had an existing (pre-GDPR) privacy tool that literally less than 100 people had ever used. This is a company with hundreds of millions of users.
About the only source of reviews I would believe isn't primarily paid advertorials is Consumer Reports, and those have to be filtered through CR's own particular set of biases. Even sites that aren't blatantly pay to play (and Wirecutter was pretty obviously in that camp basically from the very start) are usually compromised by being provided expensive hardware they could not economically review otherwise, and know that negative reviews will cut them off from the very thing that enables them to exist.

Picking signal out of the shill review background noise is really hard these days.
WebAssembly is not a silver bullet, and is intended for lower level code than I think you expect.

There's little to no interop with the front-end world as we know it (aka the DOM), and any briding to it is still quite expensive. You'd have to re-implement lua's garbage collector in wasm, etc.

wasm is great for high performance data crunching—aka why it's so attractive for 3d engines, games, and the like.

It's less great for developing front end apps; unless you feel like building much of a browser within it.

---

It _will_ get to that point, but we've got a while before interop is a realistic thing
I've bought several things on recommendation from the Wirecutter, and repeatedly been disappointed, so this is not so surprising - what a shame.
Pretty good, I've not had any real problems with it. I tried a Casper before and liked that too. I don't have a problem with the softness, it's actually harder than I expected.

Is it better than all the other companies? It's still very difficult to tell without trying them side by side. When I bought it there weren't that many offerings in the UK - I think it was only Leesa, Casper and Simba.

One concern is that there's no way of easily removing the cover, and all it'll take is one glass of wine to ruin it. So while it looks great in the photos, really you'll want to put some kind of protector on it.

I also tried one of Casper's pillows, which was great until it started bunching like crazy and is now useless. Don't waste your money on the expensive upsell 'accessories'.
India is now world's second largest mobile phone producer: ICA
For many years, my fantasy of retirement was that I would have a house with a large back yard so that I could spend my days reading outside surrounded by trees.

At some point I realized that there was no reason I had to wait until retirement to realize this fantasy, and now many of my Saturdays begin with a walk to a local park, followed by several hours of reading. It's just as pleasurable as I had expected, and it's actually been surprisingly easy to make this happen now that I've made it a priority. It doesn't even take a whole day; there are plenty of Saturdays when I go out to read during the morning and still have the rest of the day free for whatever chores or social engagements are vying for my attention. I even find myself doing it on weekday afternoons evenings, especially in summer when the days are long.

Another thing that has led to me reading more books is just giving myself permission to read books in increments of 15 minutes or less during random moments of downtime. Moments on/waiting for the tram or between phone meetings that I would have spent checking Twitter on my phone can just as easily be spent reading a book. This isn't so good for certain kinds of content that you might want to devote more attention to, but I've found that I'm perfectly capable of enjoying fiction in 10-minute increments without significantly diminishing my enjoyment of it. And oftentimes, reading bits of a novel throughout the day often gives me a certain amount of momentum that makes me want to continue reading the book during my free time in the evening during time that I might have otherwise spent watching TV, browsing reddit/facebook, etc.

I think it’s definitely not the same. I often buy kindle books with the audible bundle included. The I listen to the books while I’m commuting. I often go back though and actually the chapters without the audio. I am always surprised how much new things I find even though I “read” the chapter already.
I'm still not convinced learning a 2 language is harder, even as an adult. I now know 3 and if you put some effort and time (or even better get immersed) you will learn it. Children have YEARS of amazing immersion, adult patience and care. Who wouldn't learn a language in such fertiile conditions.

As for the accent which i have, i don't know yet. I will try to correct it and see how it goes.
Or we would have more McMansions and reduced biodiversity. It certainly seems that's the typical route a welfare maximizing democracy allocates resources by default.
I used to study mechanics during my mechanical engineering studies and one of my teacher kept saying "the bridge will collapse" as a warning to all of us to take this very seriously. Usually these bridge designs use a factor of safety 5-7. I am really curious what went wrong with this one though. Some of the videos linked in this post are pretty good explaining the basics of reinforced concrete structures.

Using the statistics in the article, the subsidy currently goes to 16% of all households (even assuming all have computers), so it's not highly targeted as is.

Also, cutting out these artificial middleman resellers could result in savings that exceed the subsidy.
They are, but they've always claimed that the presence of an affilate link, or the percentage they got from it, didn't affect their recommendation and they would happily recommend the best product even if they got no $ from it. Anyone living in the real world knew that was 100% bullshit.
Isn't that more to do with age. You can pick up any new language or accent before age of 15.
