I have to say I hope the wine industry goes the same way as the craft beer industry: towards innovative techniques to differentiate brands by distinct taste and sourcing. Walk into any liquor store and half the store is filled with wine labels that most people can't differentiate. Compare this to the beer aisle: A wild yeast lambic is only similar to a Bud Light in that they are both beers. I'd be hard pressed to ever debate drinking one or the other because they are so distinct. Not that either of them are bad, but they serve different times and places. I'd love to see the same with wine. Give me bold, ambitious wines that either use long-forgotten techniques or pioneer new ones. Give me as much variety as possible, and hell, wrap it up in feel good micro-winery stories.

Let consumers choose what they like, just like how the Craft Beer industry has done for the last couple of years. If there's one lesson to learn, it's that consumers love to try new varieties, and there's a lot of money to be made for being ambitious.

For everyone in the Bay Area, it's worth your time to go up to Sonoma county and hangout at Lagunitas and Russian River Breweries. Both are famous for not holding back and brewing whatever beer comes to their mind, and it's delicious.

I completely reverse-engineered a popular online task management system, but made it an application that runs locally on my laptop. Now I control all the functionality, and most importantly, the data. Also, I can add things that maybe wouldn't be interesting for the many, but are very useful to me (e.g. when I enter a URL as a task, it fetches the title and sets that as the task name; e.g. it auto-summarizes arxiv postings as discrete tasks and takes a crack at prioritizing them for me; e.g. all my email gets auto-funneled into separate tasks, so I'm always at "Inbox zero").

I would say it has improved my productivity and focus a lot.

How about you, @kureikain?
Do you want to work for people that believe and actually review social profiles and google search you? So perhaps publicly posting that you disagree with such behaviors might actually be doing you a favor. No?

I think I understand not desiring to post your name with any other opinions though.

I keep my CPU running at a confortable 50°C to 60°C.

There are 5 fans in my tower, two on the CPU cooler, only one of those two fans is running constantly, at only 200rpm. All the others aren't running most of the time.

I don't need my computer to run at a cool 30°C all the time. The hardware can run very hot without any issues. And when all the fans eventually kick in under load, it will always keep under 70°C anyway.

There's no particular reason to use the entire IP as the lookup key though; all customers will be numbered out of the ISP's single allocation and you don't need to keep track of the traffic of each individual host, just the overall traffic of each customer.

You'd end up needing a much smaller array for v6 -- small enough that you could fit it into the presumably-unused parts of those 2^32 arrays that correspond to the v4 class E space.
So sending money to your relatives, who presumably have lost their homes and savings, isn't valuable?

Thanks :) I agree with keeping it simple. Use something like heroku if it meets your needs. Atmos is for when that stops being cost effective or practical. Chances are, once you evolve past the proof of concept stage, you'll need more than a one-size-fits-all tool can deliver. Atmos strives to give you the toolkit to make that happen in the easiest and most maintainable way possible. Atmos-Pro will accelerate that for you by providing recipes that work out of the box for common infrastructure patterns.
I liken this to a hotel that decides to make their own lightbulbs. Or a department store that produces it's own bespoke cash registers.

You can't argue that typography is so vital to their business that this is a useful allocation of resources. Obviously, design is important to any company that markets itself in some way. But not every company designs their own typeface (although it seems like it, lately.)

Some are saying it's important for AirBnB to have their own distinct look, and that requires a custom typeface. BS. Plenty of successful companies managed to create a distinct brand identity using helvetica.

https://99designs.com/blog/creative-inspiration/famous-logos...

Some are saying it's cheaper to make your own typeface than to license one. Really? There are no cheaper typefaces that look suitable? (I'm not saying this is impossible. I'm genuinely curious. Is that how bad it is?)

We have open source typography. Are none of those fonts suitable for their purpose? Can any of them be improved by the designers at AirBnB? That sounds like it would be cheaper than starting from scratch.

I care about beautiful typography as much as the next web designer / marketer / start up-whatever. But I also know how a business runs. And this seems like something the business should not focus on. Tell me I'm wrong.

The goal of the state doesn't have to be the profit of the state itself. It could be that those in charge of the government would have as their aim the profits of private companies, in which case lowering taxes on those companies would fall in line with that aim.
Well, I doubt NSA are stupid. The question is more what their plan is to get the standards they want to be accepted. Maybe by exposing themselves and thus creating a better chance for secret allies? We'll need to wait for the next Snowden to find out I guess, if ever.
It depends on the application. If your IoT thing is plugged into wall power then yeah, you can just use a more powerful chip. If your device is running off of a button cell and needs to last for at least a year then you have to be a lot more conscious of cpu cycles and memory size.
It's possible using a low temperature phase-change system, but you need some absolutely immense radiators. The Calyos NSG-S0 chassis will passively cool a high-end gaming PC, but it weighs 22kg and costs €1000.

The more corrupt and broken a given economy is, the higher the markup for reliable crypto and (relatively reliable) foreign currencies. Rule of thumb I have almost always found to be true.

Case in point, Zimbabwe just tried to ban bitcoin and now the market price there jumped by almost 5000 USD.

It's hard for people who don't see the government as what it actually is, to see the value in cryptocurrencies. Some governments hide their nature better than others.

For those which are very straight forward about their parasitic nature and do not make any real attempt to justify it though, people subject to them are extremely aware of the actual value of state and central bank proof currency.

Inhabitants of OECD nations will at this point say "but nobody here needs that" with a straight face, unaware the US government just "lost" 21 trillion dollars. Which actually probably means worse than lost. It probably means it was illegally spent for nefarious ends. And given the foreign policy objectives of the US coupled with the "questionable partnerships" they've recently been discovered to be directly financing, that money probably has a lot of blood on it.

Such is the actual naked nature of the state. It's depressing, but there's no getting around it. And that's why the world needs cryptocurrencies; to destroy them all. They are the only possible tool for that essential job.
Yep. “Click on the images containing a crosswalk.” I’m British. That’s not a word we use.
Thank you for the explanation, I believe I understand it now. I had originally interpreted that in a manner to assume that all new features would be tagged with an edition but would be usable on older editions if the compiler supported the feature, but with your explanation I realized that my interpretation of "edition-independent" was off the mark.
This is likely the reason. I forget the article/post, but I recall reading about this on HN a while back. Basically the licensing for fonts across all platforms can become very costly, so developing a typeface in house becomes an appealing choice once your designs are in front of X number of people (commercial/web/print/etc).
One world-class expert in the wine trade told me that he favoured vineyards that were careful about pesticide use rather than fully organic ones. The reason as I recall was that some of the nasty things that can damage grapes/ vines and must-be-killed are stopped by a low dose of a specific pesticide if there is an infection, whereas organic growth requires heavy pro-active doses of copper. He felt that was more damaging.

Some of that complexity may go away with CRA 2, since Babel 7 macros can cover a hefty amount of stuff that's only possible with Webpack or another preprocessor today - including file loading.

Though, then there's the problem of everything tilting towards the entire dependency tree happening in Babel, and having a bajillion Babel macros instead of a bajillion Webpack config entries...

I honestly think there just isn't enough innovation in the newspaper industry for it to survive. Newspapers are too old school to innovate/iterate their models.

For example, mng has 50+ newspapers. Why not identify 10 different ideas and test them out on a few newspapers. Some bad ideas that get my point across:
- Have a reddit-style front page with upvotes/downvotes
- Put all articles on a map so users can see whats relevant near them
- Ask users to sign in to facebook and google on the website so that each ad is more targeted and provides more revenue
I've never heard of anybody doing this. Sounds pretty messed up to me.
It was well known shortly after the incident (one or two months) that the pilot had taken complex maneuvers that would explicitly avoid radar detection around the Malacca Straight. This was done very soon after the pilot disabled the plane's transponder. At that point it was clear that the pilot had carefully planned to commandeer the plane.

No contract can be above the law in the United States either.

However, there are laws that legalize and codify private arbitration and how those work. In that regard, the contracts operate within the law.
fasttext is just an encoding of the first layer of a model (the word embeddings - or subword embeddings). Full multi-layer pre-trained models are able to do a lot more. For instance, on IMDb sentiment our method is about twice as accurate as fasttext.

As to whether CNNs can replace RNNs in general, the jury is still out. Over the last couple of years there have been some sequence tasks where CNNs are state of the art, some where RNNs are. Note that with stuff like QRNNs the assumption that CNNs are less computationally expensive is no longer necessarily true: https://github.com/salesforce/pytorch-qrnn

I'd be surprised if for tasks that require long-term state (like sentiment analysis on large docs) whether CNNs will win out in the end, since RNNs are specifically designed to be stateful - especially with the addition of an attention layer.
you don't want to "move the goalposts"? How will we advance?
My wife runs a natural-ish winery and I help out with some of the regulatory filings. All bottle labels have to be approved by TTB and include the ABV. They don't require you to submit any lab results in support of your claimed alcohol percentage, but if you're caught selling wine outside a certain margin of error it can result in some kind of sanction.

High alcohol wines are somewhat in favor for Napa/Sonoma reds, but 14% is a cutoff for lower excise tax rates and a lesser regulatory burden in general, so it wouldn't be surprising if people are trying to game this somewhat.

A funny thing about wine industry regulation is it's entirely focused on whether or not you are paying taxes. We've never had to file or demonstrate anything related to the safety or purity of our wine.

You can fairly easily get the current location for a mobile, at least down to a specific country and state.

Basically you pretend that your sending an SMS to the device and the home network will return you some data which includes the serving network, from this data you can guess location fairly accurately.

It’s a little dodgy, some networks will put filtering in place to stop this, but not many bother.

You should get higher cpms (more revenue) because doctors/nurses read your site - something that wouldn't necessarily occur without the invasion of privacy.

I think this is standard procedure for many US companies; the employee (e.g. your manager) can't give professional references on behalf of the company, mostly because there is nothing for the company to gain. In fact it's loose-loose: You get the job, they loose an employee; you don't get the job, the company could become liable for all kinds of things (libel, lost earnings etc.)

However there is nothing stopping a private individual giving a personal reference even if that person happened to be your manager.

This has been my experience working for large US corporations in the UK.
I have an OTG USB hub with Ethernet. Mouse, keyboard, and external drive can plug in all at once, and if I have a place to plug the other end of the cable I get wired network too. It even has power input to drive the peripherals. Add something like GNURoot with the Debian chroot and it's nearly desktop Linux on a tiny screen. It's more of a pain to set up during a meeting than a dedicated docking station would be. It also doesn't currently charge the phone (although there are ways to modify it to do that). It's nice for novelty but a little unwieldy. Using an OTG cable with a keyboard with a built-in hub reduces some of the cable clutter.

Some of the Chromebooks and such have no moving parts. I'm probably taking my Pinebook to the next conference I attend.

I appreciate the thought, but I don’t see how that complies with either the spirit or the wording of the GDPR. One of the goals of the GDPR is for data controllers to obtain explicit consent that is rather granular in nature - aligned with the purposes for each data collection. In the case of me providing a form allowing people to subscribe to my blog, the ostensible (and stated) purpose of me collecting their email address is so I can send them emails notifying them when I post a new article. But, if I’m also using their email addresses to track their interaction with my emails, that’s a distinct and separate purpose to which they never consented. More info: https://www.gdpreu.org/compliance/email-tracking/

Embedding implied consent to such tracking in a separate document (privacy policy) does not seem to be very transparent. What am I misunderstanding?
Doesn't look like it. Hope to see someone take it up!
The problem is that they will need to get to page 47 on a google search to find this. The odds of this doing me a favor are just to astronomic in my opinion.

For the poor, it is a way out. Even if you don't hit the pro level, being good at football can get you a full ride scholarship to a great school.

One of my friends at Berkeley was in exactly this situation. He grew up very very poor, played football at the local high school, and managed to get a football scholarship to Berkeley. He wasn't very good at football, and rarely played at all, but he did get a full ride scholarship that covered tuition, housing, food, books, and a small stipend for living expenses. He also got a job working in the residence halls, which also came with free housing and food, so he basically made money in college.

Then he graduated with a PhD in Education. He could have never afforded that without football.
> I did a tasting with a few friends where I chilled red and white wines down to the same temperature, and had them try the wines blindfolded.

No surprise, wines taste very differently when chilled. Reds in particular lose much of their flavor.
Tesla is the only one that has "burned their boats" and fully aligned their corporate future with electrification.

On that spectrum there's Tesla, a bunch of Chinese firms like BYD then a big gap before firms like Jaguar, Audi, Volkswagen all of whom are selling products that Tesla can rightly attack as being the past, not the future of transport.

I think every bit helps, including efficiency, smaller cars, public transport, city cars and non plugin hybrids like Nissan's eNote range but Tesla is setting the pace to a large degree at the moment.
One can make a passive build much more powerful.

NSG S0, once out, will most likely be the go-to case for such setups. Until then, an HDPLEX H5 is cool.

My desk has a H5 on it, housing an i7 8700 (non-K) and a GTX 1060. The TIM under the heatspreader is replaced with Thermal Grizzly Conductonaut and Thermal Grizzly Kryonaut is used as every other TIM that the case setup needs. The CPU is on stock clocks with a voltage offset of -30 mV. The GPU has the power target reduced to 90% and clocks increased by 130 MHz, so that it is effectively undervolted as well. The PSU is a Seasonic Ultra Prime Titanium 650. Prime95 with AVX throttles really, really fast, under a minute, perhaps, but is a very unrealistic load. Non-AVX stress tests and FurMark take a while to start throttling (20 minutes?), as the thermal capacity of the aluminum case is quite big. After hours of gaming, the GPU and CPU float around 80 C while providing full stock performance. I don't do 3D rendering (other than in-game) or video en/decoding, so have not had long, real-world, full loads to see how temperatures behave with those.

From the discussion I've had and forums I've read, I think that people are afraid of putting more power in passive cases and having their components at "high" temperatures, despite those being rated for them.
