This isn't accurate; notably, the WHATWG is the standards body that is actually open to public input (see https://whatwg.org/faq#process). Whereas to give input to the W3C, you have to pay membership fees (https://www.w3.org/Consortium/fees; between $2250 and $77K depending on company size for the US). This latter model is commonly referred to as "pay-to-play" standardization.
I assumed a discontinuous translation by the standard amount. Which is true of every press release writeup where the standard quantum is 0.
So, if I understand you correctly, every time someone visits a health care provider under insurance, they have to perform the billing like they're buying a house or car?

Show HN: My random trick generator apps (skateboarding, snowboarding, skiing)
I just finished porting my suite of random trick generating apps from iOS to Android. I've got three of the major action sports covered.

The apps give you a random "extreme" thing to try when you're in the skate park or terrain park

They also come up with combos of tricks that make sense for the different features you're doing them on. So you can tell the app you're going to hit a rail, then a jump, then another rail, and it will put the right sequence of tricks together (accounting for landing with the other foot forward or even landing backwards like in skiing).

They also have difficulty settings so you can learn about some of the most challenging tricks in the different sports. Snowboarding has a "Pro" mode where you're literally rolling tricks they do in the Olympics.

Anyway, here are the links to the products on Google Play

> It is to be kept in mind that the coefficients which we get in quantile regression for a particular quantile should differ significantly from those we obtain from linear regression. If it is not so then our usage of quantile regression isn't justifiable. This can be done by observing the confidence intervals of regression coefficients of the estimates obtained from both the regressions.

Apple basically doesn't compete on the low end for phones. The space is overwhelmingly dominated by Android devices. This also happens to be the largest segment by volume, which is a big factor in how Android devices sell in much greater numbers than iPhones.

Interesting. Thanks for the sharing, Sevii!

1. For your AWS deployment, could I know why you didn't use docker image for your deployment?

Because essentially you can use docker for building the image instead of packer. Furthermore, Docker also has caching mechanism which make the build much faster. I'm not sure packer also has capabilities for caching.

Any reason you choose packer over docker?

OK, to clarify, I wasn't arguing about whether legal system or citizens should decide but about when people have committed crimes, how much of that history should remain public and for how long is a difficult question for anybody - to balance the public safety and the need to reintegrate someone back into society. The latter because we can't just keep putting people in jail which is the current USA method based on prison overcrowding that we have in the USA, Western European countries have much lighter sentences but the recidivism rates would be interesting to compare.

Just because there exists a multi-million dollar over a lifetime treatment regime doesn't mean that it is okay to suddenly "own" an equivalent chunk of cash from everyone cured.

We invent treatments because we CAN'T find a cure. The treatment represents society's best effort to alleviate suffering.

We solve problems so that we don't have to suffer them as a society/species anymore.

Businesses exist until we figure out a way to live without them. Profit should never be the end all justification for doing something.
> complemented with extreme actions to stop even their very own customers from even repairing their broken products

Like what kind of actions? I can go to ifixit.com right now, order parts for my iPhone, order tools to work on my iPhone, and watch detailed instructions about how to repair my iPhone. (or Mac, or iPad, etc.)

The products are NOT easy to work on, but I am not aware of any action that Apple has taken against individual customers who want to repair their own products.

> let alone upgrade them to a usable state.

Personally speaking, I'm still using a 2008 Macbook Pro today because I was able to order and install more RAM (even above the recommended limit), a new SSD, and a new cooling fan.
The most common case I can think of is when you have local caches and randomly distribute traffic amongst your servers. The hit rate on the cache improves as you reduce the number of machines. If the cache expires before the same machine is hit again, you get no benefit from the cache at all. Even in the case where you are hitting the cache you are doing more original requests as you add more servers.
The drivers also provide the cars (a necessary and quite substantial capital asset), and it's very easy for a driver to work for multiple ride-sharing companies at once. A driver could easily lose money by accepting rides that don't earn them enough to pay for gas and maintenance. (On the other hand, the laws around here don't allow a taxi driver to reject a hire based on the destination, which is why the price has a per-mile component.)
> For example, US is still on 110V despite all the disadvantages.

Could go into that? IIRC, 110V is less efficient but it's also less dangerous, so maybe it's more of a trade-off.

But your point stands. I've read that the reason Estonia's government infrastructure is so much more advanced than the US's is because they had visionary leaders and started from scratch in the 90s. The US has the weight of decades of good-enough paper processes weighing it down.

You can rapidly screen (using robotics) the phenotypic space of a wide range of (genetically engineered) mutant organisms (yeast or bacteria) and feed that data into deep neural networks to ultimately predict from input DNA sequences, conditions --> phenotype. You will probably even be able to apply a reinforcement learning algorithm to optimize a particular phenotype/outcome. Ultimately, the AI will be able to do this in a self contained system.

The WHATWG is actually the only organization I know of that publishers a developer-focused specification; see https://html.spec.whatwg.org/dev/. (We only do it for HTML currently.)

Anyway, I agree with the grandparent poster that caniuse.com is a much better approach to documenting the interoperable subset than copying and pasting someone else's spec, and trying to delete the parts that are not interoperable by some threshold. We actually have caniuse.com boxes in the margin of the HTML Standard: see for example https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/scripting.html#attr-s...

Finally, it's worth noting that we only incorporate features into WHATWG Living Standards if they have multiple implementer interest; see https://whatwg.org/working-mode#additions
"Only" is a strong word. There could be dozens of other reasons.

It could be that the system isn't working the way it's designed. It could be that the thieving authors have found a trick to fool the system. It could be that there's a single nefarious admin who takes bribes to override the system. I'll bet you can even think of a few more if you try.

Amazon thinks long term. Bezos's influence is all about that. Letting customers and authors alike be defrauded like this in order to make a few extra bucks in the short term is not what I expect from Amazon.
It's not wrong, it's just a way of looking at things that speaks to the underlying math rather than the full extent of what you can do with it if you extend it with things like kernel methods.

When you use linear regression to fit a model like

y ~ ax + b(x^2)

what you're technically doing is fitting a linear function with two parameters on two variables. One variable happens to always be equal to the square of the other variable, but, for the purpose of how the model is usually going to be fit, it is still using the same old analytical method that's based in linear algebra.

When things go wrong, they spread rumors that Ford™ vehicles suck, when it was simply their misguided fault.

And that's why, as the proud owner of a Ford™ vehicle, you must go to a Ford™ gasoline station to buy Ford™ fuel. That's Ford™ fuel, available from a Ford™ station somewhere in your state.

It depends on the crime. Some crimes are serious and you'll never escape those. But most really don't need to be recorded for life. Rehabilitation is an important concept for a just system, because without it there's less incentive for criminals to remain free of crime.

> For adults, the rehabilitation period is one year for community orders, two years for custodial sentences of six months or less, four years for custodial sentences of over six months and up to and including 30 months, and seven years for custodial sentences of over 30 months and up to and including 48 months. Custodial sentences of over four years will never become spent and must continue to be disclosed when necessary.

This has been part of UK law since at least 1974. http://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/1974/53

Yes. Perfect actually. Then if you don't fact check it can't be presented as news.

I think also we could apply the (legal) concept of "reasonable and customary." If say the rest of the (media) industry reported X, Y and Z and you only did Y then that's not reasonable and customary.

FB and Twitter are the sugar-pushing companies of the mind. With discipline, they would actually be a good thing. But they appeal to our base instincts in a way that is hard to resist, and they leverage that to their own advantage and to the detriment of their own users. sugar, tobacco, tweets.

Building distributed (p2p if you want) versions doesn't solve the real problems, and will never be successful because the "better" versions don't hit the same triggers.
What I didn't realize when I wrote this is that fear sells, and how intertwined that is with our economy of wanting things for free, allowing ourselves to become the product instead of paying money, and having the media control how we feel so they can sell us anti-depressants or whatever fad diet plan or a shiny new car so we don't feel like we're in an infinite loop going nowhere (which they can make us feel via selective news), or really anything. I feel like recent events in recent years have helped me to see there's a bigger picture behind this and that it's more intentional than I thought before. I was stupidly optimistic and thought it was purely because of our demand, not realizing how much forced artificial supply has to do with it.

Improving your tools != making the same stupid argument people have been making for a decade as if it hadn’t happened before. I actually agree that there are improvements to be made to Go; generics and dependency management being 2 that look like they’ll probably be resolved soon. That’s not that the same as this crap about “it ignores advances in programming!” or “it’s a failure because it’s not a systems language like they said it would be when they announced it.” or “Google made it because they think their programmers are too stupid to write Haskell.”

Improving tools is complicated and involves a lot of trade offs. It’s not just “omg it doesn’t even have generics what a shit language.”
That would be true if grand projects only came out of military funding. There are plenty of examples of wonderful projects that are the result of civilian enterprises without a primary military motive.

The Internet and GPS are more visible examples, but semiconductors, medicine, algorithms (like machine learning) etc are no less grand and marvelous in terms of taking humanity forward!
We definitely believe users should have a voice in the WHATWG, and thus in guiding what browsers implement. We strive to maintain an open and welcoming community; this has brought a lot of good ideas to the table.

Bayesian statistics, there are different priors.

The probability of a convicted person to do something criminal again is not the same as the risk of an random unconvicted person, just like the risk of a flood reoccurring in a previously flooded area:

> According to the National Institute of Justice, about 68 percent of 405,000 prisoners released in 30 states in 2005 were arrested for a new crime within three years of their release from prison, and 77 percent were arrested within five years.

> According to a national study published in 2003 by The Urban Institute, within three years almost 7 out of 10 released males will be rearrested and half will be back in prison.

Not so odd historically; the enactment of disenfranchisement for all felonies (as opposed to particularly major or election-related ones) started in the South as part of the Jim Crow policies to disenfranchise Black voters. Together with the use of the criminal justice system to disproportionately target Black people, this allowed starts to disenfranchise those voters without an explicit racial reference in the law.
We actually might need it more than ever.

Only just 5 years ago the number of visitors to Iceland was roughly the same as the population (300,000+).. these days it's in the multiple millions.

The increase in tourism has caused an influx in immigration which has subsequently caused an increase in crime. Luckily not much, and it's not because "immigrants cause crime", it's just a byproduct of going from a homogeneous society to one that becomes more made up of outsiders who
sometimes don't have the group's best interest at heart.

At any rate, the point is that here the government is less of a direct threat, and the benefit that could be gained in cases like these is worth the piece of mind that it brings to the public knowing that these systems are used to help in the worst of situations.

For the record I am very pro-privacy, but when you balance the pros and the cons here, the cameras come out on top.

It's interesting that you mention charities, because as we know in the UK many of them were breaking the law and there has been considerable regulatory action to bring them back into compliance with the existing PECR and DPA.

The fact that they're all contacting people saying "We need to re-gain permission under GDPR" just means that a bunch of organisations were, and still are, clueless about data protection. This, combined with the lack of fines, should be somewhat reassuring to the GDPR sceptics. The laws are widely broken; the regulator hasn't been seeking fines; this is unlikely to change in future under GDPR.
I don't think the WHATWG is trying to serve as the reference for web developers (though their HTML spec has notable and laudable features for that use); I think they are mostly fine with W3C trying to do that as long as they do it correctly (which requires alignment with what browsers do, otherwise developers will target a non-existent platform.)

I don't know if they (or developers, MDN is probably a more widely used reference than W3C) see a standards body as essential in that role, though, and I don't think it seems W3C really wants to accept being relegated to that role rather than driving the web platform, even though they haven't driven the platform for a long time.
> All else equal, people should be willing to pay a bit more (in terms of lifetime cost) for a cure than a treatment (certainty, finality premium).

This certainly isn't true in social games. If anything it's the opposite - players will commonly pay more in subscription fees than they would for a total one time unlock of everything, since the immediate short term payment is less.
