I did stats before data science was a thing, and then ran a data science team afterwards, and it's dramatically different.

I've never seen any stats text book or course discuss techniques for dealing with large amounts of data to any significant level, but in data science that is a core part of what you do.

I ran production systems before DevOps and after. Again, it's very different - prior to devops, there was no emphasis at all about using software engineering techniques to manage and deploy software. The most you'd get was some scripts maybe kept in source control if you were lucky.

Now I run an AI company, and a key part of the ML we use involves generating structured text files from images. I guess predictive statistics is technically a correct label, but the tools and techniques are so dramatically different that that thinking of them as separate fields is more correct than incorrect.
I've seen an asphalt road to a neighbourhood of approx. 300 houses which was the same as new after 30 years without any need of repairment. Was destroyed by dozers to get there a telephone cable. It was exceptionally fun because it's in russian megapolis.

Even for regular IPv4s you often get upwards of 20-40k SSH probes per day trying common passwords against root. IPv6 largely makes this go away since it's too big to brute force scan.
Slice of life films tend to depress and/or stress me. I tend to avoid them because I empathize too much. Just reading the wikipedia summaries of the films you wrote about, got me anxious, especially `Only Yesterday` because I'm at the same age with the protagonist and my career and love life are lacking.

If a film has a [redacted-for-spoilers] aspect, even with all the drama, I enjoy it more. If you're like me, you'll definitely enjoy `Your Name`. I cried more than when I watched Lion King for the first time.
Agreed, but one of the Is is not south
This again...

"Data breach" means an unauthorised access or use of data. Cambridge Analytica was not authorised to access or use the users' data. Therefore, it's a data breach.

It makes no difference if the breach uses a zero-day exploit to access FB's database, or if it uses social engineering to get someone at Facebook to send them a hard drive, or if it's some researcher being given access under false pretences.

"Data breach" is a catch-all like "homicide": that term encompasses murder but also involuntary manslaughter, euthanasia, and capital punishment.

Same with CDMA. Just had to copy the phone number and ESN. Boom whichever phone was closest to the tower would ring, if both phones wear pinging with near freq then both could receive the same SMS and call, but only one could be on a call at a time. No actual interception.

Things got a bit different with MDN and MIN were different to ESN pair. Calls still came but you couldn't auth or call out for data services.

It's all a bit old now, but look up QPST, QXDM for the past decade and 20 years ago look up Oki900.

Wasn't the business goal for Tesla to become mass market? Toyota and BMW have their relative status symbols sold and resold by numerous dealers worldwide. And their status symbols have very regular body panel seams - the very definition of quality. These 2 companies have vast experience bringing a new car model or drivetrain component to scale, along with more factories to test with. Not to mention they could form a business partnership with each other, just like Toyota and GM did at NUMMI[0].

It is possible to connect an Excel spreadsheet directly as an ODBC data source to Access. Then you can run SQL queries, views, reports on the data, without having to export or modify it in any way.
>People have been saying "we might have invented everything" for hundreds of years.

No, they really haven't. In fact for a good chunk of centuries (from 16th century onwards), the optimism for the eventual future developments was endless. At some point there was a few scholars saying that during the end of 19th century, but still not some widespread belief.

That said, discovery probably also follows an 80/20 rule, and we're somewhat at the tail end now. We haven't had any major new discoveries, of the kind that we had regularly until the 60s-70s, for decades now.

Progressive refinement (like going from the workstation to mobile phones and watches) yes. But nothing like the advent of the computer, the internet, and so on.

And even less earth-shattering stuff than the time before that (which got us from the steam engine and electricity, to nuclear energy, radio and tv, flight, space exploration, the digital computer, QM and relativity, the DNA, and so on). Stuff like that was coming decade after decade up until the 60s-70s. After that, not so much.

>"We might have invented everything" would imply that the space of all possible inventions is bounded, and we're running up against the edges of the box. But I don't see any reason it should be bounded.

While there's some quasi-religious optimism (like the universe owe us endless discoveries forever), there are real limits, and notions like "low hanging fruit" and "marginal returns" do come into play.

But from my experience you can use excel files as an ODBC database source (Windows).

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15844633/using-excel-as-...

Once you create your ODBC source from the excel files, you can run queries and use the language of your choice (Python,C# ....). I am pretty sure you can also insert/update rows and columns too.

Wondering how this differs from the approach I describe (which has existed for many years).

Good work!
In EU, you need to write something like "...share data with third-party service providers..." already if you use AWS, because customer data will not only be held at your premises, but also held by another company (Amazon).

It seems to be difficult to phrase the Privacy Policy in a way that will satisfy this condition, and at the same time remove the 'wiggle room' you see.

Blizzard recently released Starcraft: Remastered on the 20th anniversary of Starcraft (https://starcraft.com). Because much of the game balance relies on weird/buggy unit behavior, it was critical to keep the game code intact, so the developers only focused on a graphical, UI, and netcode refresh. It worked, and was successful, but it's been months since release and there are still huge bugs and general problems with everything they did touch.
As soon as we hand history over to a good-willing person, even if they are a great artist, the matters quickly get foggy. This particular attempt at simplification of history has at least one significant flaw. It picked a plot line of different peoples fighting for land because they consider it holy and sticks to it, even though it's historically incorrect. Specifically, it is only fully correct for Jews, since, according to the Bible, the land of Israel was promised to Abraham and his descendants by God. Everyone else were and are primarily fighting for other reasons. For Muslims, Israel has never been a particularly important place - only the Jerusalem Mosque is somewhat important (not as important as Mecca and Medina), even though it is only thought to be mentioned in Quran as "the farthest Mosque". Now while Christians did call it a Holy land, I believe the real reason they were attracted to it was because of its association with Jesus.

So yeah, while Nina Parley is a terrific artist, be warned that this particular work of art distorts the truth, whether on purpose or not. The real story is that the Jews have a much stronger religious claim to the land than anyone else. Even more importantly, Israel is their only homeland, as opposed to everyone else who fought (and, arguably, still fights) for it.

Isn't that what is kinda happening with nuclear weapons though? I would argue we have less armed conflict nowadays exactly for the reasoning in that quote. Dynamite did not really allow for two army corps to mutually annihilate each other in a second, nuclear weapons actually do.

Stubby: Local DNS over TLS stub resolver
Adtech research dept. here: totally correct, the abstraction gets laughed at by the abstraction known as the box model of contracts, arm's length principles, the classic Entores case (by showing you are the sender and receiver of the transaction, eliminating any fungibility of liability you might argue is transferred to the supposedly impenetrable pseuse-anon algo) and from the selection remaining, which is a whack-a-mole guessing game here, I most like the idea of tort of damages to the value of character rights by bad faith interference with the potential value of the individual's exchange of use of their identifying characteristics for the provision of services, namely you may advertise to me, knowing something about me which I am prepared to disclose, in return for my reading your content: slurping the description of my character for use by third parties is unlawful.

We were shipping the games on 3 different consoles, shipping on the original XBOX with it's superb integration to Visual Studio was such a breath of fresh air, and allowed you to debug directly and step through your code on the console.

Not so much for PS2 and Code Warrior, which was a pain to use and was integrated as an after thought to the PS2 SDK. So maybe using CW on Mac worked well (at the time), but targeting some other machine than the one running the compiler was painful at best with CW.

Sorry to ruffle any CW fans out there, but until you've used it to do PS game dev, you won't know the atrocities our team went through.

The Most Powerful Dice
That was a fantastic read. In a world of products and apps that seem to be a solution looking for a problem, it's nice to see a full story illustrating a common problem, and how a technical person came to provide a featured solution to that problem.

I think I already know the answer to this, but I assume that this IDE is Windows only? I couldn't see any information about platforms on the main product page, which might throw someone off if they use Excel on a Mac.
Yeah, it was really fun to built! The parser, editor features and C# support were amazing to work on. Some times I felt like I was wasting time, but when I compare what I was working on most days in a corp to what I get to work on with QueryStorm, I'm pretty happy I did what I did. As for open source, that might be a better way to go. The project needs a community and open sourcing would help a lot. It's something for me to consider.
> Preventing space debris is not related to this topic in the least. Neither is preventing a "space arms race".

The relation is OP's complete and naive refusal to entertain the possibility and usefulness of regulating private activity in space.

> It seems to me that the best way to solve this problem is to get rid of this useless office.
> I don't think it's good discussion etiquette to link to an unreadable wall of bureaucratic text and not give any context. I.e. at least state one good reason for this regulation.

See: it's this attitude that keeps the level of such discussions at a kindergarten level. The linked document contains text, yes. But it's perfectly readable English. The first paragraph is headlined "SUMMARY" and contains this justification for the regulation and the office implementing it:

They are intended to facilitate the development of the U.S. commercial remote sensing industry and promote the collection and widespread availability of Earth remote sensing data, while preserving essential U.S. national security interests, foreign policy and international obligations.

You can easily find a later section entitled "Purpose" that expands on it:

(1) Preserve the national security of the United States;

(2) Observe the foreign policies and international obligations of the United States;

(3) Advance and protect U.S. national security and foreign policy interests by maintaining U.S. leadership in remote sensing space activities, and by sustaining and enhancing the U.S. remote sensing industry;

(4) Promote the broad use of remote sensing data, their information products and applications;

(5) Ensure that unenhanced data collected by licensed private remote sensing space systems concerning the territory of any country are made available to the government of that country upon its request, as soon as such data are available and on reasonable commercial terms and conditions as appropriate;

(6) Ensure that remotely sensed data are widely available for civil and scientific research, particularly environmental and global change research; and

(7) Maintain a permanent comprehensive U.S. government archive of global land remote sensing data for long-term monitoring and study of the changing global environment.

Those seem to be seven good reasons. If you want to argue their merit, you should start with a good-faith effort to understand them.
Do you know if there are any open-source projects that are similar?
There's manual curation of the schemes which map some human-eneterd data on web pages to facts, but the extraction is automatic.

See [1], noting that human annotation is responsible for 250K of the 100 million high confidence facts in the system.

I believe they have some manual overrides in a few cases, but the system itself is automatic.

Cloth diapers are fantastic, but they're a case of "Sam Vimes' Boots"[0]. Over the course of a year, they're a lot cheaper than disposable diapers, especially if you can get hand-me-downs from a friend or eg. a local parents group on Facebook. BUT, the initial outlay is still way too much for most working-class people, and they're really only practical if you have a washing machine at home. We ended up buying a used dryer when we had our first child, just because the diapers didn't dry fast enough on the line during the winter. The article mentions that a lot of coin laundries don't allow you to wash them there, and besides, you'd be at the laundromat at least once a day.

I find it funny how we complain so often of the news moving too fast and major stories becoming irrelevant in a day or two, yet when a something stays in the news for more than a week people gripe over how much attention we give the topic.
When management says sprint, you say, “How fast?”

I find the language plain disempowering to developers.
This may sound weird but my go-to these days for text munging is actually PHP. Set it up as a shell script, do all your testing on the command line, and then if it's something you use a lot (or other people could use), throw it on a server somewhere with a web form at the front end to make it more accessible.

Not for anything serious, but great for those occasional quick-hack utilities to save you a bunch of cut-and-pasting or data reformatting.
The consultants have taken over "Agile" and turned it into a process-heavy set of practices. Over the course of a 2 week sprint I spend more than 8 scheduled hours in various meetings (grooming, planning, scrums,etc.)

Ask HN: Alternatives to Stripe
Based on Stripe's announcement and the general reaction on their billing changes (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16766846), which Stripe competitors would you recommend (or not recommend), either for recurring or one-off payments.

I'm interested in hearing your experiences, regarding costs and implementation.
In regards to your non-existent pricing page, I would suggest this read: https://stripe.com/atlas/guides/saas-pricing :) I think you could capture more B2B value if you display some amount of pricing for potential business customers and also make it more clear for non-commercial users that it is free.

Besides from that, product looks really nice!
