There is nothing in there that asserts your claim about VP8 being encumbered by royalties/patents.
I used to work with the local Sheriff's Dept doing IT stuff. The detectives said they were amazed at how much data they could get from phones / cell providers. It's helped solve so many crimes like bomb threats, abuse cases, and even some murders.

They also said that if someone was smart, they would just leave their phone at home, or somewhere else as an alibi and do whatever. Then they would have to go back to the drawing board which they admittedly said they haven't had to do in a long while.
People who leave high school at 9th grade statistically don't have very good prospects. My last year of school was the 9th grade. I got my GED at 20 (like I walked in off the street and took the tests with no prep or anything), went to college and earned a bachelors in computer science fairly easily.

There's always going to be outliers to any case. People who pull off crazy things that only 1 out of 10, 1 out of 100, maybe 1 out of 1,000 could possible do if things went just so for them.

Also good for you to recognize some of your advantages and maybe learning better habits from successful people. Not everyone is able to break the cycle and circumstances they're born into. And in either of our cases it's probably wise to be mindful how one event, major enough, could leave us in ruins.

Your argument makes sense as long as you consider something “private” if it’s shared with Facebook itself.

If you consider something so “private” that you would be upset that an algorithm on a secure serve might use it to target an ad to you - after you read and agreed to exactly that behavior when signing up - perhaps you shouldn’t have given it to them in the first place. At what point do you take personal responsibility for giving away this information you consider to be so private and valuable?

> If the LLVM team decided to spend 5 years making python "fast", I bet they could make it benchmark just as well as C++.

Better, perhaps, if John Walker's experiences with Javascript are anything to go by:

https://www.fourmilab.ch/fbench/fbench.html

John Walker has a program called fbench which is a floating-point benchmark built around raytracing. He's implemented it many times, in many languages, throughout the decades, beginning with implementations for the original IBM PC.

Anyway, the results are posted on the site, in terms of multiples of the speed of the C implementation, which is defined to be 1.0. The Python implementation is 2.633 (PyPy 2.2.1 (Python 2.7.3), Linux), and the Javascript implementation is 0.372 (Mozilla Firefox 55.0.2, Linux). Yes, it completes in approximately a third the speed of a C implementation compiled on full optimization (-O3) by GCC 3.2.3.

(The C++ implementation is at 0.939, GCC 5.4.0 -O3.)

Anyway, Javascript has been the target of a lot of people for a fairly long time, and, despite the fact it's a very dynamic (hard-to-optimize) language... well, the numbers speak for themselves. I have no doubt Python could be improved to a similar degree.

Make sure the back of your card is signed, though, and make sure to sign your receipt the same way. I had more store clerks questioning my signature on a 1 week trip to London than in a decade of using a CC in the US.
I had a similar response. I bike to work, and one of my coworkers got an electric bike that he let me try. I was very tempted to get one, as it would make longer distance much more viable, but I was also afraid I'd always use the electric bike and not get any exercise.

I'd love something like Jump in Austin for trips when it's hot out, or longer distances.

That’s funny because I (not young) get a bit of joy from Instagram. The FOMO makes me travel and do things I wouldn’t otherwise. My wife encouraged me to start capturing the beautiful things I see and now I go back to my profile[0] and relive some amazing and beautiful moments. The ripped guys (and gals) on there remind me to hit the gym.

Instead I think it’s all about perspective. My wife says “comparison is the thief of joy”. I don’t compare myself to what I find on IG. I use to to inspire me as to what’s possible.

Facebook and Twitter, by contrast, are full of mean people saying mean things. That makes me feel yuck inside. So I try to avoid both.

With regards to the Ford bikes, that's actually by design. The Ford bikes are basically the same as Montreal's Bixi, which uses custom parts; this means that since the parts only fit the Ford bikes, there's no reason to chop them for parts, as they won't fit on a regular bike. They also require custom tools to work on them, making it less likely that they'll be chopped up for parts in the first place.

You can read more about the bikes at http://montrealgazette.com/news/local-news/fixing-bixis-near...

Looks interesting, especially the Zerotier transport. Although I wonder why that's needed/what it means: with Zerotier you already have ip4/6 connectivity - what's the benefit of burying down below that?

Would that mean a "wireguard transport" would make sense as a default secure transport?

My other concern is that this starts to sound very big - have you been able to maintain clear modularisation of the code?
Are you saying that if it were discovered to be both cheap and easy to create a super-pandemic using nothing more than household chemicals and a swab of your own snot, then you'd publish the results freely and in their entirety?

If not, how catastrophic a level of harm are you willing to risk before you start advocating concealing the results?
Youtube (because it's video) is a way more open-ended platform allowing for deeper engagement with any subject matter vs the purposefully restricted medium of twitter or instagram which boxes you into to eye-catching photos, and overstimulating anxiety inducing rapid fire feed scrolling. It's mindless and unsatisfying.

Youtube has almost limitless niches of hours of content.

Just to add a little bit to this: I also live in NL and the cycling infrastructure is not limited to central locations; there are well maintained, separated, safe cycling roads between cities as well. It helps that it's a small country, but even fairly long distances like Rotterdam -> Den Haag (~25km/15miles) is easily done without ever mixing with vehicle traffic.

Sorry to not add anything here but I feel its important to emphasise this post. This post is so spot on.
I used to work with some detectives who told me this exact thing.

The "little tracking devices" helped them solve a lot more crimes than they ever dreamed of, but they said that it also requires a lot more paperwork, desk work, warrants, etc to do anything now. So even though it's easier, they have to jump through a lot more hoops to get the data.

They also said that that work is 90% of their jobs now. The other 10% is "non-it computer work."

It's a small local sheriff's dept (if that makes any difference).

I get this thread is off topic but:

That 1812 Constitution of Spain was a product of the Napoleonic wars and seems to have been basically ignored everywhere but Iberia-proper. So really, PR has never had proper representation to its colonial rulers. And technically PR has had a non-voting rep. in the US house of representatives since 1901.
I'm guessing that's anecdotal given the very large range (25% spread) you cite. As a F50 company you might have actual "diversity data" at hand. It'd be interesting to see your actual data.

For example, Intel is #47 and in mid-2017 they were only 801 employees away from full representation.

From their report:

> Full representation means that Intel will be at market availability or higher by 2020 for every employee job category that we track; both technical and non-technical, for women, African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans.

At the same time, they state that white males and Asians comprise >90% of mid to senior technical roles.

So I take these two facts together to mean that the number of under-represented folks on the market is quite small. Of course you're at 50-75% Asian employee population, because that's representative of the pool you're drawing from.

The current landscape also includes 12 year old trolls who aren't willing to pay 5 dollars to troll. If a barrier stops some but not all trolls, it's still useful.

The problem with charging is, I probably wouldn't pay for the privilege of posting here. I suspect I'm not alone. If you charge to deter trolls, you deter (some) trolls, but you also deter some fraction of real users. It would result in a different community.

I gave you a compensatory upvote because I agree with some of what you say in spite of mostly considering myself a liberal.

People are too dogmatic about their political ideas and too unwilling to look at areas where their particular brand of politics has failed to produce meaningful positive results. Both conservatives and liberals are guilty of this.

People need to think about politics like engineers. Dump the ideology and football game cheerleading for "my team" and look at what works and what doesn't. Liberals in California should be asking what the hell Texas is doing (or not doing) to maintain low property prices in the face of economic and population growth. Texas and California are quite similar in many ways: big, sun belt, on the border, culturally unique, ethnically diverse, and economically growing. Why can a middle class person afford a house in Texas but not in California?

Of course I suspect the answer is that Texas lets developers build new housing stock in response to market demand, while California lets NIMBYs obstruct at every turn. It's grade school economics. If you have increasing demand and you limit supply, you get runaway price increases.
OK we will start over.

Ask HN: Resources for a doctor to learn AI and AR/VR
MD/MBA here. Still doing clinical medicine only. I think AI is going to play a critical role in the future of healthcare and want to learn background, theory, as well as stay up to date with the industry.

I have seen a lot of links to coding courses and books. What I havent seen is a resource that I could use to further my knowledge to the point where I can make meaningful contributions in my org.

At this stage of my career (early/mid) I think instead of learning actual coding, it would be useful to have an understanding of the frameworks used so that I can have informed discussions with smart as hell engineers as well as smart business executives. I really do enjoy tech and am not afraid of getting down into the weeds.
Thanks!
Historically, that [Edit: at least sometimes] worked - see West Germany and Japan. The problem with places like Iraq was that we weren't willing to occupy in overwhelming force for a decade in order to create a stable democracy. We tried to do it "on the cheap", and it failed.

Ok I suppose I should add caveats, like I am assuming that this would be FDA approved and tested by a few independent sources before being put on grocery shelves.

Regarding your thoughts on whether it's a living thing, is purely philosophical. It sounds to me like you haven't actually seen what goes into these artificial meats. They extract cells from animals and feed them the nutrients they need (like amino acids) to cause the cells to divide and grow like they would in the animal's body.

So whether a muscle grew with a cow over years, or it grew in a lab, does that really matter?

I am in the city of Sydney, where no less than 4 dockless bike rental companies started operating overnight.

They have become urban clutter. Users park them in locations where they’re easily knocked over and, from there, they usually get damaged.

There’s also a very high incidence of vandalism. Bikes with no seats, no pedals, bent wheels, on top of trees, in canals.

It’s common to see heaps of scrap bikes on the road. These companies not only are using public land to offer their services but also polluting my city.

All this has made me a vocal opposer of dockless rentals. Work with city council to put your bikes on a dock or don’t come here.
> looks like they've excluded areas with more tourists
If it's anything like NYC they did this to avoid upsetting the existing bike rental businesses in those areas. They need to do this to get local government buy-in of the program.

1. The always-visible scroll bars (both horizontal and vertical) on the text box makes it not possible to see what I am typing (the scrollbars cover it and the text field is not large enough to show both scrollbars and the text) -- this is on the Mac client. The same scrollbar issue exists on the channel list on the side as well, but at least it's not blocking anything.

2. When I sent a URL, the message immediately disappeared because Slack tried to generate the link preview, and apparently it's not supported yet in this client, so the whole message is just not shown.

I'm sure you are aware of people that have spent decades+ in an English-speaking environment, yet still speak in a stilted manner. Time alone isn't enough- you need active correction. A few folks are able to self-correct via listening, but almost everyone does best with regular instruction by qualified teachers.

Thank you for the CEFR link.

Part of the problem with English in particular (I am sure you are aware of this, I am just stating it for other readers) is that the number of ESL speakers exceeds the native population. This rather unusual case means that many learners are receiving instruction from English speakers who themselves are not fluent, compounding the error. From a strictly academic standpoint, it is fascinating tracing the growth of all the different flavors of English (some mutually unintelligible) but it does present certain practical difficulties in communication!

They just announced a $10M series A in January. To cash out at a $100M valuation doesn't seem like a bad outcome; after just doing just a series A, the founders' stake is likely to be in the 25-50% range (I'd guess in the lower end).

Obviously the zeitgeist is to shoot for a unicorn, but there are plenty of reasons to chose an earlier exit, only some of which suggest that the underlying business is shaky.
