There's also some organizational psychologists suggesting that knowing childhood friends into adulthood helps to ground individuals towards humility and away from arrogance/cockiness.
But a simple exonomic thesis doesn’t fully explain the data, right?

> In the group that has been here longer, white Americans dominate both the FTE sector and the low-wage sector, while African Americans are located almost entirely in the low-wage sector

Simple economics doesn’t explain why white immigrant groups (Irish, Italian) that came here more recently at the bottom of the economic rung have overtaken African Americans, who have been here much longer.

Why Content Marketing Is All About Education, Not Sales – The Next Scoop
GoPro streaming has too high latency, but if it is fine for you, the utility in the linked repo can do udp streaming.

For low-latency streaming, a better bet would be HDMI capture card or dongle and using HDMI-out on the GoPro.
This is exactly right.

When I was teaching machine learning classes, the biggest hurdle I had to get a lot of students over was their history and expectation that they can implement something, fix the compiler errors, fix the runtime crashes, and then just declare victory. Machine Learning is basically the study of getting a computer do give you an answer you don't know, so you have to be in this constant state of defensiveness, never quite trusting that things are correct.
Even if these things were dead simple, I cannot see any of my non-technical friends using products like these. It is simply prohibitively complicated compared to dropbox - that "just works". I even recall a comment on here when Dropbox launched saying something like "why not configure an FTP server to do this". This is that FTP server.

Also, personally, I would never host any content on-prem at my home. It is far too easy for my internet to go down, and I'd rather my personal website be under somebody else's control (say, an S3 bucket) than get physical hardware to the server hosting the bits.

If nothing else, it's a classic case of closing the barn doors after the horses are long gone. And Facebook's barn was built with every wall as an open door, and they've been slowly locking them up as people get outraged enough about things to demand it. But there are still tons of open doors.
Ask HN: What do you think of the new Reddit?
Today I noticed the new Reddit design on my phone with obvious glitches and undesirable behavior. Worst of all, “Request Desktop Site” no longer does anything. (The dense layout and easy scroll/pinch-zoom are preferable to fixed oversized layouts.)

This leaves me with a less-dense, more annoying layout than before, and it even adds a dickbar (to borrow an expression from John Gruber).

Personally I think this will make me stop using Reddit entirely from my phone.

What do you think?
We’ve been using this at work. It was a nice starting point for us. Thanks!

A couple of comments:

1. We want to take a bunch of snapshots. We found that taking a picture also saved it to sdcard. And the more pictures on the card, the slower it performed. We ended up writing code to erase the picture we just took after offloading it.

2. We learned that we can’t connec the GoPro to computers USB for power while running this as the camera changes to a different mode. However, a stand alone usb charger worked well while using this. That might be nice to add to the reader.
Slavery did not go quietly. Alternate structures were constructed to continue exploiting the former slaves. Jim Crow was dismantled within living memory, and even that did not stop all of it.
I have a feeling that if this product is going to become successful, it will find some as-yet-unthought-of use case which will take off with some subset.

If that is right (and who knows), then you would be better off giving it a generic name "Allinonespot.ai" or "Aggregate.ai".

Calling it dissident is okay, except that now I think the use case is somehow making some kind of statement against something. And that is confusing. Why am I dissenting? Am I dissenting against HBO? I like HBO. I have nothing against Game of Thrones or Silicon Valley. What am I taking control of?
Well, shit. I wish I had known about this approximately one month ago when I bought mine.

The screen is beautiful and the battery life is OK, but I really don't see the point of 4K at this size. I figured they were just forcing an upsell to higher margin configurations...

New Hacking Book Release:How to Hack Like a LEGEND. Close-Up on Red Team and APT
AI, AGI, and real intelligence all learn from actions and feedback. Looking at simple analogs from animal and human counterparts, setting boundaries and teaching beneficial rules, called morals, works somewhat in non-zero sum environments, but inevitably requires policing when the environment turns competitive. Safety in any case would require Intelligence-proof fencing and a really big stick even the most resource-rich non-value aligned agents would have to abide by. That means control over power grids, ability to prohibit access to shared computing resources (including less secured IOT devices), and potentially destructive viruses with all kinds of attack vectors that would act as policing force punishing bad agents with anti-human behavior. Credible enforcement should be a well funded bullet on this charter.

They changed the cooling solution completely this year, so the coil whine is much less of an issue. I'm sure some may still have it, but from my sample size of 1 I haven't had a problem.
I think the HN crowd already knows the mission was classified. But as we saw certain aspects of the launch were allowed to be mentioned. For example, SpaceX made a statement afterward about what they knew. This aspect was not classified.

Lawyers don't just tell you what you can and cannot say. They also sometimes tell you what you should and should not say for PR purposes or to manipulate a situation.

There's plenty of room here to call this an ethical failure.
how is it qualitatively more nuanced than that, for an advertising-driven product that's "free" for the end user?
Safety has become a convoluted term for pseudo control over unintelligent and unpredictable Weak AI. The safety problem as it is framed in its current state centers on principal ideology for Weak AI and has, from what I can see, nothing to do w/ AGI nor are the approaches compatible. I seriously question what is the true motivation behind this over-stated agenda and have many answers as to why it exists and why it is so heavily funded/spotlighted.
Don't know if you're sarcastic, but I prefer privacy related issues like this to be surfaced and would call it morally wrong not doing so.

Facebook knew about the Cambridge Analytica data harvesting way back in 2015. The true extent of it was only exposed to the public on March 2018 because a CA whistleblower[1] talked to news outlets about it.

Therefore, Facebook had ~2 years before the negative stories were blasted everywhere.

Not on Unix though. "Stepping all over each other" sounds like the guiding design principle behind Unix's folder structure and dynamic library loading aproach.

Holberton School Raises $8.2M to Expand Its Engineer-Training Program
School personnel end up acting as ad hoc social workers for children who show up unwilling or unable to focus on academic study. If one student comes to school worrying about what college they'll be able to get into, and another comes to school worrying if the family's going to be evicted from their apartment, then the same money/attention isn't likley to produce the same academic outcomes.

I don't know if that is what sseveran alludes to -- Baltimore seems to be famously corrupt also -- but it's a significant problem. It's one of the reasons that some teachers are willing to take a pay cut to work at a private school that's selective about students. Teaching students who are attentive and ready to learn can be pleasurable. Trying to teach students who are resentful, distracted, and unprepared -- that's less attractive. Or at least it takes a rarer personality type to find it rewarding.
YouTube Is Improperly Collecting Children’s Data, Consumer Groups Say
I agree.

At work, one of my projects is a cross-platform scientific C++/Qt application. It is currently open, and with 5 charts (hundreds of data points each) and a full-blown interactive 3D representation of a model, it sits at 160 MB.

Seriously, I understand the trade-offs of writing HTML+JS vs. C++, but at some point we must start taking into account the amount of waste (energy, resources) that hybrid apps create.
> Afaik, cgroups isn't enabled by default and requires customizing the kernel before you can enable it.

cgroups are supported on every distribution's kernel I've ever touched in the past 5 years. Not to mention that they were originally developed (in part) by Google, though they had a different purpose back then. They're also a requirement for systemd to work properly, so any distribution that needs to run systemd will have them enabled in their kernels.

> At the very least, container tools such as Docker require symlinks too to invoke chroot-like filesystem isolation and this is also not available.

Docker (or rather runc) uses pivot_root and mount namespaces to implement filesystem isolation -- not symlinks (though I'm not sure what you mean here to be frank). These features have been in Linux for more than 10 years.

Richest 1% on target to own two-thirds of all wealth by 2030: World leaders urged to act as anger over inequality reaches a ‘tipping point’
By Michael Savage Apr 7 2018
<https://www.theguardian.com/business/2018/apr/07/global-ineq...

"The world’s richest 1% are on course to control as much as two-thirds of the world’s wealth by 2030, according to a shocking analysis that has lead to a cross-party call for action."

Hard to rationalize the inequalities in the distribution of wealth in a "World After Capital" where the commodity in short supply is attention.

From the webpage for the TL;DR folk: Technological progress has shifted scarcity for humanity. When we were foragers, food was scarce. During the agrarian age, it was land. Following the industrial revolution, capital became scarce. With digital technologies scarcity is shifting once more. We need to figure out how to live in a World After Capital in which the only scarcity is our attention.
"Reclaim access to your own content..." by putting it on this closed centralized proprietary server?

No.
That seem unlikely...it is pretty widely known/suspected/confirmed that the US at minimum has developed the capacity to hot tap fiber optic without disrupting signal to them. I would imagine Russia has similar capability.

If it is a mistake during a tap, someone fucked up and they will get caught. More likely though was some form accident or trawler drag.

This is not an unintended feature - it is a gaping privacy gap. That data is not intended to be public, and is in fact dangerous when made public. It's _especially_ creepy that this detailed data is available to someone who has unsuccessfully interacted with you on a dating website. All that aside from this likely being against the terms & conditions provided by OkCupid, meaning their user's data was being used against the contractual limits.

There was no real-world case where this data was useful in a non-creepy way.

One thing I didn't make clear, that may explain why somebody just wouldn't build their own storage/delivery: when certain services become a commodity, and long-term commitments become an exception rather than the norm - it's easier to shift the pricing pressure and uncertainty for the commodity side to your providers. You specifically don't want to "build your own" in a market like that, but instead focus on specialized, high-margin services. One exception: when you can predict/control the demand (e.g. you are a Netflix), then you build your own, and still leverage providers for capacity on tap.
Obama’s team bragged that Facebook was actively helping them in 2012. So we can assume that political ads that fit the narrative will be rubber-stamped.

If it's not slaughtering animals then its not meat.

Its like suddenly some one comes and calls some thing meat n then we order 2 of those.

Vegetarian is a reasonable alternate if we don't want to slaughter meat. Meat like tasting vegetarian alternate is also reasonable. But lab grown meat is the most unnatural thing. How does eating a thing which is 99% unnatural constitute as eating food. Its just eating a thing.

There is a crowd which wants to avoid as much artificial things in food and eat natural food and there is a crowd which wants to eat 100% artificial thing like lab grown meat.

I wonder which crowd will win in the end.

Bullshit. We already know the FBI is acting in bad faith and doesn't care about actually solving crimes as much as it does about having access to all data. If this wasn't the case, they would have never demanded a backdoor from Apple when they had other alternatives (https://www.macrumors.com/2018/03/27/fbi-san-bernardino-ipho...). If the trust in the FBI, and consequently in all other law enforcement organizations, somehow still existed, it should no longer after these latest lies. The FBI isn't interested in solving crimes, it's interested in exploiting secrets of its enemies for political reasons as they did to Martin Luther King Jr. and many others and working towards goals that are not publicly declared. One would have to be completely ignorant of history to think that the FBI (and by extension all US law enforcement organizations) are benevolent institutions that only care about stopping crime. History tells us otherwise. Articles like this by former prosecutors are just more propaganda from the FBI's propaganda machine. Bullshit and more bullshit pandering to the "law and order" types who have never studied any history and likely any other subjects as well.
