I realise re-reading my comment that this example wasn’t clear. Sorry about that.

I’ve dealt with dating and meeting people at parties before and after Facebook took over my social circle. Facebook meaningfully improved the experience for me, mainly through the two avowed goals of the platform: universality and “real” identity (I hate the word ‘real’ but it’s the most legible way to combine recognisable face photos, civil name, personal details and representative social graph). Yes, you can ask for a phone number, but that’s a rather transparent ask; the person you are asking it from usually doesn’t have enough context to know if they want to expose themselves that much, lead me to believe there is a chance, etc. In my case, I know for a fact that, if I had asked for it, she would have preferred to give it to me but would have not (she was in the process of breaking up and felt this was too early; she was fully single couple of days later, when I wrote to her).

During the earlier stages of dating, I believe that a ambiguity helps (and that is very much something that my American colleagues at Facebook disagreed with). I believe that by reaching out by being helpful rather than assertive, you can offer a less macho version of masculinity. Then again: if you knew me, you’d know I’m not good at this, at all. ‘Sliding in your DMs’ as it became known is not entirely positive, but it does take away some responsibility from a party that is not willing to appear keen. Male friends more attractive than I am have also noticed that it offers more initiative to female daters -- whether that’s the technology or the time, I can’t tell. It also allows you to hide or block unsuccessful attempts in a way that many social circles don’t.

One thing that is my experience and that is universal is that having a social graph helps greatly to pick partners: you have common friends you can rely on to insure the person is reliable, more context, things to talk about. Dating apps have taken those features in stride (and still have access to those, i.e. meaningfully more information than other apps have on the Facebook API). That does help compared to the stranger-in-a-bar deal. It might foster homophily, more superficial matching, etc., once again: I don’t know of an exhaustive study on the subject. However, I do know from working directly with that team that Facebook cares an is willing to build tools to help, and support companies trying to do the same.

I realise that my experience is anecdotic. That was my original point: a long list of anecdotic, positive experiences through Facebook. In that anecdote, I did find the courage to ask someone for their phone number, a while earlier, I did end up with someone else. She just wasn’t nearly as amazing, and that’s why I was hanging out, sad and single at that party. Had I known more about the first one, say, through Facebook, I would probably have realised faster that we were not meant for each other.
I'm not sure this is the case, to me it feels more like Tesla does premature optimization. They should first make it right, then make it efficient.

I don't think this has anything to do with coordination. Piano is considered the master instrument. You can pick something which require more coordination and you still need to take piano lessons.
Yes, my main point here was maintenance is important and the number of people who know old languages usually shrinks, making it a very good job market as you point out.
Except that evil mode takes priority over paredit and it is quite possible to delete parens and end up with unmatched.
I've enjoyed reading this article, showing the process to fabricate just a glass lense.

The site has other articles like that one, but only related to cameras. Does anyone know of similar article, but for other industries?
This has been a huge problem of mine when using tor, after disabling 3rd party cookies and also using Firefox containers. Took me two days to just love duck duck go and now it's been set on my laptop, phone and all tables, where Firefox with uBlock origin are to browse the web.
Sure, if you want to designate any random aggreement as a full on best-friends-for-life alliance, you do you, buddy. But the facts remain, Germany and the USSR were delivered facto enemies who were looking to destroy each other the first chance they get.
Interesting read as wel, link in first answer etc: basically, the exact physics between why cycling even works, seem yet to be a bit unclear: https://bicycles.stackexchange.com/questions/4656/what-makes...
At times they do release some cool new software though, e.g. GraalVM.
I believe the exact scenario you propose is not possible. It cannot happen simultaneously (so A broadcasting his tx - txA and B broadcasting his tx - txB at the same time).

However, B can broadcast txB after receiving txA (txB essentially needs to know txA in order to "use" it).

The way this works is txA essentially says "send 1BTC I received from some tx to B". txB says "send 1BTC I received from txA to C". So, when creating the txB, B needs txA in order to use it.

Keep in mind this has nothing to do with txA or txB being included in blocks. txB can use txA if txA is not yet confirmed (so not in a block), however txB can only be included in a block (so confirmed) if txA is already confirmed in a previous block, or if both transactions are in the same block (this is where the part of a miner "ordering" the transactions from some other replies comes in play).
"Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."

The first amendment also contains not much consideration for edge cases. That is a feature, not a bug.

GDPR sets principles, it isn't a technical specification. The edge cases will be sorted out by courts, as usual for legal issues. Meanwhile, everything looks like that the EU will not immediately start to impose big fines if there are small gaps, as long as affected institutions and enterprises show effort to comply and to fix remaining issues.
This feels maybe a little bit more reasonable because you installed the camera yourself and have contracted a company to monitor it. You can opt out by cancelling the contract.

In my example, the user has no choice, just as you frequently have no choice but to allow your web traffic or activity be monitored.
Only tried evil (which I think is the Spacemacs default?) with paredit and while paredit is a truly stellar, evil mode does not play well with it. Perhaps the other paren tools you've mentioned work better with evil? With paredit, evil editing can delete only part of a paren leaving unmatched problems.
I tell them about this study I've read a few years ago: "it's possible accurately to predict divorces 18 months ahead using credit cards history". Then, I explain to them how much do fb/google/verizon knows about them. This is usually enough to get them to understand why privacy is so important.
Coincidentally I met the creators last week and it's actually developed at the Johannes Kepler University in Linz/Austria. They have a oracle sponsored lab working on compilers etc.
Just don’t piss him off. Just got done reading “Conspiracy: Peter Thiel, Hulk Hogan, Gawker, and the Anatomy of Intrigue.” Starts a bit slow and pretentious, but once it gets going... I dislike Thiel immensely, but hole-lee-shit he pulled off one of the most complicated, ruthless, and complete revenge plots I’ve ever heard of. That he kept secret for NINE YEARS while planning and executing (quite literally) his scheme.

Even if you know the story well, the book is worth a read or listen.

>"If someone is willing to wear contacts I can't see why they wouldn't just don sunglasses"

That was actually my primary reason for trying out contacts; I wanted to be able to wear affordable sunglasses, and not have to keep around a case if I needed to change back to my regular glasses. Not having to worry about fogging would be a huge benefit as well. There is no actual good sunglasses solution for people who uses glasses, outside of carrying around a separate pair of prescription sunglasses.

Unfortunately, I just couldn't get used to the contact lenses, even after a month of trying all of the various types, from complete basic to the fancy high-end silicone. I had no troubles putting them in and taking them out, but my eyes would be irritated and tired around mid-afternoon, no matter what.

I also realized that my subscription (-0.75/-1.00) is basically perfect for computer work if I take off my glasses, so consequently I hardly ever wear them indoors. With contact lenses, I would negate that benefit and have to constantly focus, giving me headaches after a couple of hours. Obviously I could correct that back with a pair of +1.00 reading glasses, but that does seem a bit silly, really.

So yeah, if I wore contacts, I would definitely just use a pair of cheap (UV-rated, obviously) sunglasses and not worry too much about them. These color-changing lenses seem too expensive and have too many downsides.
Motorcycle courses put a lot of emphasis on countersteering because motorcycles go much faster and weight a lot more than a bike so you need to familiarize yourself with the effect from the get go unlike regular bikes where you generally start by going very slowly and the low bike-to-meat weight ratio means that it's relatively easy to steer by leaning with your body as you mention. As soon as you go over, say, 20km/h it's critical to learn how to countersteer properly if you want to keep control.

Try turning on a 200kg motorcycle going at 100km/h by simply leaning on it, you'll be disappointed... See for instance https://youtu.be/8_5Z3jyO2pA?t=2m24s . Later on the video they show that letting go of the handles and leaning with your body also works but only because it actually causes the bike to countersteer "on its own".
That is also a good view on it. I would like it the most if online marketing was flipped - no networks but the media agencies have to serve related content and make ad deals based on those, hence much less cross marketing crap.
However I see also why businesses don't do it as the conversions would probably be much lower with that approach.
Also I think the auto industry, since you mentioned it, is closer to this approach as they condition users from a young age to pick a brand they like.
This is possible for focused websites (like the website about food you mention), but not really for something generic like Facebook. Unless they start guessing what you are interested in based on your behavior, which is kind of what they do now.
Many things are pointless if you start evaluating things by one's standards. Let the market decide what they should focus on. Otherwise, you can always rely on government funding for less-market-focused initiatives like fundamental research.
Python fits very well this use-case. If you design a chat app properly you should be doing very little computation. With Python's async you can scale up to large number of sessions / users / channels without issues.
When viewing the page on a Japanese Mac, the letter sequence "am" within "Open source team chat" is incorrectly displayed as a single-character "A.M." symbol. It appears the CSS is specifying "'dlig' 1" for the H tags - 'dlig' stands for Discretionary Ligatures, which triggers all sorts of weird inadvertent ligatures and should be used, as its name shows, with discretion.

Is it really? Are you arguing for attaching version numbers to theories?

This is not someone in backyard presenting a random set of equations that are not interlinked as a theory. Not epicycles.
This is written so broad... facebook basically has just patented statistical classification if its output are socioeconomics?

How can this be legal? Facebook did not invent machine learning. How can they patent it?
I actually didn’t even know that was a biblical verse, how would I? I’m not particularly religious. I figured it was just some other quote people say. My source was straight from German physicist and mathematician Max Born.
This could be really useful for targeted public Health messaging and services.

TV stations need to broadcast a certain number of hours of public good programming. Online ads should show a percentage of ads for public good.

An algorithm like this could do good since it may have better sensitivity and specificity than self reported data but would need to be used by non-FB people to make sure that it’s really for public good rather than has the appearance of public good.
Homelessness, both in San Francisco and elsewhere is not rooted in housing but in drugs and mental illness.

Building more low income housing won't address those root causes or noticeably ameliorate homelessness as a symptom, because most homeless people cannot hold down a job and have 0 income, aside from begging.

There is no easy solution, but allowing the mentally ill to fend for themselves on the streets in the name of freedom is morally naive. Put them in institutions and get them off the streets.
I still think Facebook is US government tool . How it was spread in 2006 - 2010 on all foringe media channels financed by USAID. Most people in US still think that USAID is free money to foringers and want it to cut.
That's a pretty good and deep look at MS internals. I've been trying to figure out what facebook's flow is so darn bad on Windows. Using this approach might actually give some results.
> At least you looked it up like I suggested

Don't flatter yourself. I had read that article or another like it years ago.

> it says that you don't need to countersteer with the handlebars because you can countersteer without the handlebars.

You're right. I misunderstood, and I've learnt something - that explains why it was hard to lean over consciously. We'd've got here a lot sooner if you'd put half as much effort into engagement as you do into condescension.
His political affiliations are in conflict with his desire for long life, given who has the nuclear football.

I don’t care, I’m an atheist with no kids who’d be bored out of my mind before I hit 300 years old, much less 1,000.
>And I suspect that is the case since most discussions nowadays are based at the moral level rather than economics.

It's pretty obvious why. Communism/Socialism has failed big time in economics, in an unmistakable way, so the only ground left to fight is on philosophy/morals. But even then there's ample evidence this leads to bad outcomes, no matter how good intentions one starts with.

I've done it (Steam "in-home" streaming, over OpenVPN to AWS). It's works fairly well. Latency wasn't an issue for playing Skyrim, but for competitive multiplayer FPSes it's probably a no-go. You can tune the bandwidth vs. quality in Steam.

I found managing the VM on AWS to be a terrible pain. I may have misunderstood it, but it seems you can't just turn off a spot instance, have it persist and start it up again later. I had to snapshot the VM and make a new AMI after each run. You could possibly omit this if you don't want to persist the disk between runs.

Make sure not to accidentally leave your VM running or you'll wish you'd just bought a gaming rig; GPU instances are expensive, but it's fine for a few hours at a time.

You can’t ever be a master if you worked for the whole life in the same programming language doing the same thing.
You will be a narrow-sighted, maybe even very good, C++ developer that thinks to be a master.
A master has to have a huge amount of experience in a lot of different problems, domains and programming languages.
Otherwise he is just a specialised plumber, it won’t have the wide experience needed to engineer any kind of system.

Pausing long enough to be sure the AI knows you're done pronouncing the previous words is often enough to trigger the end of the phrase. We want our AI assistant to be performant, after all!

RISC-V would be great, but I understand this is going to be far off at the moment in terms of viability, here's me hoping single digit years before RISC-V appears in a laptop though.

There is no way that in reality visual basic is surging up the charts and more popular than most other languages, instead I would guess they are attributing some .Net results to VB instead of C#.

for comparison, this is the google trends chart of visual basic: https://trends.google.com/trends/explore?date=all&q=visual%2...
Would they like FB, Google, eBay, Apple et al to know which banks they hold accounts with, how often they access them, from PCs and from their phones? Or what religion you may follow? Or your other personal preferences?
Would they like such organisations to put together a profile of what they think the person is like, based on the web sites they use, when they use them, what they buy from them and more? And then for those profiles to be used by credit rating organisations, or by employers during recruitment processes, or by customs officials when entering a country?
All of the above without your explicit permission, perhaps because someone you know has thought it was ok, and with no verification that their assessment of you is correct?

I (pretty much) agree. I would suggest that other domains (not unlike 3D programming) that Rich Hickey learnt in order to "do something" were "marketing", "OSS cat herding" and others.

I think, like everything, it's a trade off.
Email predates Google. https://www.openstreetmap.org/ does fine without ads. The ad-based business model makes it harder to develop competing essential information tools that are also economically viable.

Life pro-tip: your utility is correlated with the utility of a poor person in Africa. No really, it is. Climate change, war, disease, famine -- these things are directly connected to global poverty.

"The Netherlands used to keep track of people’s religion as part of the public records. The intent was noble as always: by keeping track of how many Jews, Catholics, and Protestants there were in a city and its different parts, you would be able to plan for an appropriate amount of synagogues, Protestant churches, and Catholic churches, their proportion to one another, and so on.

Then, World War II came around.

There were almost no Jews at all in the Netherlands after World War II. According to Wikipedia, less than 10% survived (14,346, compared to an earlier population of 154,887). As it turns out, it was very convenient for the… new administration… to have access to the collected data, and it was indeed used against the citizens, as it always is in the end." --
For most people it really doesn't matter, including most people in powerful positions. But we keep telling ourselves it does, unfortunately.
This has powerful implications I believe in the United States and other nations that are made to hold the tacit communal belief that they are a largely middle-class society.

Certainly, you could classify these groups in a closed process and operate to exploit their individual wants and desires, which is something existing models of capitalist industry engage in already. However, what if Facebook were to do this all transparently? For example, being sold something with the explicit revelation that your economic class is the primary consumer?
Oh, crazy. Ok, thanks.

I guess: genetics + parenting > rich people background

Also, i think there is one generation in between poor and rich.

This is as fast as it goes:

1st generation: Poor

2nd generation: wealthy (mostly through entrepeneurial or hard work) where they explore investments. Mostly started a SMB or choose a profession with a lucrative income.

3rd generation: extremely rich: good investment decisions or a 0,01% company ( worth 100 million's).

Getting from 1 to 3 in one step is almost impossible. You need the stablility from the 2nd generation to get to the 3rd ( getting investment loans, contacts, ...) and the opportunity to "hit for the stars" multiple times.

My problem with noise canceling headphones is that while you can use them just for their ANC and have no music playing, it gets extra uncomfortable.

My brain can't handle feeling sound pressure on my ears from the ANC, but not hearing the noise because the ANC canceled it out. It gives me a really wicked headache.

I have to have something playing all the time I'm wearing the headphones, which is a problem because that can be a distraction in and of itself.
Ask HN: What is the best laptop for programming/data science?
I think I could've phrased the title better, but I will be asking on your recommendations for what you think is the best laptop for someone wanting to go back to university and study Data Science and subsequently come back to the workforce in a programming/data analytics/engineering/etc. role.

It doesn't have to be a specific model, you can also list things you'd look for in an optimal laptop if you were to buy one for the same reason as me.

I would exclude Apple products from this discussion simply because the only worthy laptop in this case would be a Pro, which is way too pricey for what it offers.
I don't work on such projects, but on other ML projects, and I suspect the answer is: training data.

There are many, many, many samples of people saying the approved trigger phrases. Many, many, many samples. To use your own custom trigger phrases, you would likely need to say it thousands of times to being to approach the accuracy the current systems ship with out of the box. Maybe tens of thousands.

That's just my conjecture, though.
