I am working on a project where we store sensor data using protobufs. Since I normally work in pandas for analysis, i started writing a little interpreter to get protobuf(s) directly into pandas.

Interested in feedback from others about how they manage protobufs in a data science context.

Not discussing the school of thought, just self defined anarchists, as mentioned in the post.
Its strikes me that these people don't know what capitalism is. I think they think that corporatism is capitalism.

In any case, you can't have an anarchist society ... its always going to turn into an anarcho-capitalist society. People are always going to join together into mutually beneficial joint-enterprises ... and they are going to want to share in the proceeds from such enterprises ... and that is what capitalism basically enables.
"Facebook has asked several major U.S. hospitals to share anonymized data about their patients, such as illnesses and prescription info, for a proposed research project.

Facebook was intending to match it up with user data it had collected, and help the hospitals figure out which patients might need special care or treatment."

The winter of 2016/2017 was really bad here in Portland and caused an unbelievable amount of damage to our roads. Whole portions of streets came up from the freeze/thaw. It was nuts and they're STILL in the process of fixing them, not that the roads in Portland proper were ever that great in the first place.
Might still not be that much, if earnings through exchange rate gains were also part of their revenue. btc made what? Over 1000% in that year? If they pooled earlier in the year that are huge gains. If it's only from their 1.5% cut, it is really impressive.

Fair enough! 2017 was a tough year for us (especially May to December). You're correct that we launched very few improvements in that time. On the backend we were doing a complete rewrite, which ultimately set the stage for us to roll out really powerful new features like Segmentation (https://baremetrics.com/features/segmentation) which launched a couple of months ago.

Since January we've been on a roll, releasing a slew of new features and updates and have a ton more on the way.

Certainly wish we'd handled that big rewrite differently since it did leave a bad taste for some folks, but it is what it is. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The features that are crucial to one business are inconsequential to others, so I appreciate your perspective on what you guys really need.

Would love for you to give us a try again down the road and thanks again for taking the time to give feedback!
Quick question (I can't test as I'm not on Facebook):

If someone logs into a separate service using their 'Facebook Login' will that reactivate their account if disabled/deleted (within 14 days)?

Has this been tested?

A lot of people have saved logins etc so might not realise if this does actually reactivate them...

>Linux is developed almost exclusively by people who get paid for their work. Billions of dollars of real money has been poured by IBM, Intel, RH, etc. You are thoroughly confused my friend. Lets stick with the original point.

What aren't you getting? Developing is not auditing. KPMG wasn't paid to do banking, they were just paid to audit.

>So explain how they audited the firm, explain which data they had access to and how they were incompetent

As an auditing firm you either demand enough data to do a real audit or you walk away from the deal. So either they didn't have enough data or they were sell-outs rubber stamping it. That's just how auditing works.

>People will ask you to backup your opinion. Its completely fine to say I don't know...

It's not an opinion. It's literally what they are paid to do. If I pay for a hamburger and someone just gives me a pile of sand, any bystander can tell that the seller didn't do their job.

Contrary to popular belief, merchants are responsible for frauduluent charges, big or small. They pay not only in any lost merchandise or services, but also in losing the payment.

This shifting of burden ultimately comes back to the consumer in higher costs and fees, and is just a cost of business for the merchants. The credit card company beneifts because they make money regardless of fraud, and they’ll make increased money from the detachment of the feedback loop from the consumer. Merchants don’t pursue fraud because they simply increase costs to cover it.

In this scenario merchants lose, consumers lose, credit card companies win from increased usage.

The "do one thing, and do it well" is really misleading, the Unix philosophy cannot be distilled down to a single phrase - this phrase only makes sense if you already understand the ideas (also naming it "philosophy" is kinda misleading too because it doesn't expect everything to follow it, only use it as an ideal for program design that you should strive to follow, but not bind yourself over it and ignore it when it makes sense - a good example for this would be something that does a lot of things that in turn allow programs to follow the Unix philosophy better - like an OS kernel).

The main idea behind the "do one thing" is really composability: by doing one thing, your program can be used to provide the functionality for other programs to form applications. Patch uses ed because it needs to edit text and ed provides the text editing functionality, but ed can also be used interactively or from a shell script or by some other program. This is because ed doesn't care how it is called nor where the commands come from. This isn't enabled by its simplicity, but by its design to be composable: it would be a trivial difference in terms of complexity (and indeed there were similar programs in other systems that did exactly that) to ask the user for a filename upon launching it. But that would only make it useful as an interactive program (which is also why the Unix philosophy warns against captive user interfaces).

Ironically, Microsoft's COM and OLE followed that idea better than anything on the graphical side of Unix ever did (except X11 itself, but few programs ever took advantage of it - the best case would be applications meant to be "swallowed" inside docks - docklets - and panels, but those are very task specific). However there is also something to be said about being simple and COM is anything but simple.
>> It kills 1001.
>> Net lives saved = 1000.

Right. And net lives lost = 1001. So, we've killed 1001 people to let another 1000 live. We exchaned their lives.

>> The 2001 who are saved by auto-driving were also most probably not interested in dying. How is it that their opinion doesn't matter?

Of course it matters, but they were dying already, until we intervened and killed another 1001 people with our self-driving technology.

Besides, some of the people who would be dying without self-driving technology had control of their destiny, much unlike the (btw, very theoretical) trolley problem. Some of them probably made mistakes that cost their lives. Some of them were obviously the victims of others' mistakes. But the people killed because of self-driving cars were all the victims of self-driving cars mistakes (they were never the driver).

>> Individual people have been killed by airbags, yet you probably think it's OK that we have them.

An airbag or a seatbelt can't drive out on the road and run someone over. The class of accident that airbags cause is the same kind of accident you get when you fall off a ladder etc. But the kind of accident that auto-cars cause is an accident where some intelligent agent takes action and the action causes someone else harm. An airbag is not an intelligent agent, neither is a seatbelt- but an AI car, is.

While persecution is expected and desired by that particular faith, I think you're awful quick hopping to a visceral reaction to religious sources instead of HNs visceral reaction to factual inaccuracy.

> yes. God is love, and God is hope, but those do not constitute the entirety of what God is

This is a reply in the context of an epistemological argument that that word you are using simply cannot mean things if you keep using it like that, and very much not the things you quoted... Not "yes": "NaN" or "undefined symbol" or "mu".

How many liters of god can I pour into my bathtub? How many liters of Coca-cola? ... We used to, but we no longer talk about god as a 'thing'.

"Coca-cola is love, coca-cola is hope, but coca-cola is so much more"...? Sure. Things respond well to metaphor, and simile.

"Hate is love, hate is hope, but hate is so much more"...? No, doesn't work, because hate is a meaningful concept. Meaningful concepts cannot arbitrarily be ascribed other meaningful concepts while retaining their meaning. "God" can though. Despite its framing, like in your post, as something that should not be able to arbitrarily be ascribed to other concepts.

God is itchiness, god is morning sunrises, god is monkey brains covered in dew. God is all, god is nothing, alpha and omega...? That "god" cannot be a god, or GOD. That "god" is both an abstract and meaningless notion. That god is awesome for selling subscription services, tho.

I doubt there would be much of an effect on anything. Something like that is unlikely to interact much with the Sun's magnetic fields (so it wouldn't cause any solar flares). It would probably produce a relatively large sunspot. Comet Shoemaker-Levy produced observable spots on Jupiter and the relative mass of Mercury to the Sun is much larger than Shoemaker-Levy to Jupiter (and the relative diameter is much larger as well). I bet that there would be a measurable increase in the metallicity immediately after impact. This would last probably about an hour before convection caused the debris from the planet to be spread evenly throughout the Sun's convection zone (at which point it would be unobservable).
I find it highly useful to get right to the point in discussions with potential employers and discuss salary right away. I've been burned a few times by companies that simply weren't willing to pay enough. Even if what I want is fairly higher than what's on offer, for a really good position I might consider it.

> Seems you understand it wrong. Common Lisp is a mainline Lisp, based on a direct line of specific Lisp heritage. Technically Common Lisp is mainly a modernized/standardized/portable version of Lisp Machine Lisp (aka Zetalisp).

Sure, I’m not intimately familiar with the lisps that Common Lisp drew from to be able to say what percentage was drawn from where. On the other hand, primary source material collected here (http://www.cs.cmu.edu/afs/cs/project/ai-repository/ai/lang/l...) would seem to suggest that CL at least considered the need to balance considerations of differing lisp communities of the time.

> Clojure OTOH is fully incompatible with any previous identified Lisp dialect, so it is dubious to call it a Lisp.

Eh, you’re certainly more expert on lisps than I am, but I have to say that the argument that Clojure isn’t a lisp because it’s not literally compatible with prior lisps seems petty to me. It looks like lisp, acts like lisp, and is commonly understood to be a dialect of lisp. Until the Grand Governing Body of Lisp Certifiers meets and declares Clojure not-a-lisp, I’ll continue being entirely not-dubious about its status as such.

not served by firefighters such as being out in a super rural area

Right. But why are those areas not served by a professional team? Because there isn't enough work to keep them busy.

Same thing with wildfires; you might need 20x more people during a wildfire than the rest of the time. It's not like you couldn't hire 20x professional firefighters to handle them - it's just that it would be a huge waste the rest of the time, as I said.

My point is that firefighting is not like pothole fixing - there's no such thing as a wildfire of potholes. Which is why municipalities supporting volunteer firefighters makes sense, whereas supporting volunteer pothole fixers doesn't, in my opinion.

Things I regularly use Siri for:

- timers

- sending text messages hands free

- controlling homekit stuff

- playing music requests (usually in the car)

I'm honestly not sure what else I'd use a voice assistant for and Siri works great for all of those tasks. Usually when I have an issue it's due to background noise, so hardly Siri's fault.

Quite frankly the "siri is crap" meme seems to be just that: a meme, with very little basis in reality. She's not quite as feature rich as the others but... who cares?

"Picked perfectly" was appalling to me. Literally the reason we cancelled was because that there was no concern for what was purchased. We regularly had the wrong brands, claims that store didn't have the items (they 100% did) or the produce was extremely over/under ripe.
> I turned left on to the main road, and began to move up through the gears. That’s when a car coming towards me flashed its lights. This used to happen to me a lot in the Mini. So much that a couple of years earlier I’d taken it back to BMW to get it checked; yes, my headlights were wrongly adjusted and I had inadvertently been annoying other drivers. So when this driver flashed, I instinctively flashed back: “No, those aren’t my main beams – these are, see?”
> The time between my flash and the impact was infinitesimal.

I’m having a hard time understanding the crash as there is so much information absent from the article.

What kind of main road was this?
Was it in a town or a A road between two towns?
Was it designed for pedestrian usage (there are lots of A roads in the U.K which are not designed for pedestrian usage. These roads are often known as BYPASS roads and are designed to keep motor vehicles out of town centres).
Was it street lit? Given the fact that the other driver flashed him I would think not?
What was the speed limit? Was it appropriate for the road?
The community hasn't really warmed up to The Dark Mod as I thought it would. I guess everyone's more comfortable with how the original games look and feel, and I can't say I don't understand it.
