This is even better because of the date, we had voice operated computers 24 years ago that ran on machines that wouldn't even be called a potato these days and they didn't need to send the voice off for cloud processing.

And voice control didn't fail way back then because it wasn't good, it failed because it was a terrible input mechanism and that is why it will fail again.

Lior Pachter on sensationalism in Machine Learning literature
Back in college, long ago... the Mac 660 AV was state of the art for personal computing. The computer lab I worked in had just updated all the old SEs to these over the summer - I was part of the group that set up and plugged in a few score computers. With the microphones.

Our manager was a bit concerned about if the microphones would get stolen as he looked out over the rows of computers with the microphones on top of each monitor.

I yelled "Computer, Shut down. Yes."

A good chunk of the computers had indeed shut down.

We decided to go back and remove all of the microphones from the computers. Theft was not as a large of a concern as a bored college student with a prankster attitude during finals and the riot that would have ensued.
> rail stations in Japan began installing these LED panels as a suicide-prevention measure

Another technique they use is to play recorded birdsong and other "sounds of nature" at some open-air stations, which supposedly makes people feel more peaceful and relaxed. It's quite subtle, random and realistic-sounding and caused me quite a lot of confusion looking for the invisible birds before learning the truth!
> So is this the new fad after almond and coconut milk?

yep. the only hard benefits listed is "five times the vitamin C" -as if anyone's getting scurvy in the first world-, and "ten times the iron" which may sound impressive, but but a quick search for milk nutrient says that a cup of regular milk has 0.4% of daily iron requirement, so it's 10x of a small number.

>Or does it also cater to people who are lactose intolerant

notice how it says "It doesn’t contain the whey proteins found in cow’s milk that contribute to dairy allergies". so basically it only helps if you're not lactose intolerant, but are allergic to milk proteins. they can't even jump on the lactose free bandwagon with this.

I respect your opinion but found each of the arguments contained within weak or easily countered.

> 1 ... put the logic for creating that action in one place

This isn't so simple. You end up duping the action in at minimum 1 AC (often many ACs), and onboard the complexity of an unnecessary function, plus importing and connecting that function all over your app. A UNIQUE_ACTION_CONSTANT is an easy refactor, unlike action creators, which can cause a cascade of changes when reworking component structures.

> 3 ... larger logic that goes into preparing the action object,

This justies a function, not necessarily an AC.

> 4 ... lets the action creator worry about how to handle things

Smart components are already aware of the state system by means of connect. Further, in AC aware apps, you have a whole swath of extra imports to manage, more connect calls to manage, and a binding API to consider, which sometimes requires patterns and team agreement on their own. dispatch + messages does away with all of that, and is shown to be simple/effective as popularized in Elm and Reason.

> 5 ... testing

Kinda. I'll meet ya half way here. But stubbing disptach and/or component methods is also very cheap, and super simple to reason about.

He's out in-joke-ing me. West Island is a derogatory reference to Australia, implying it's just a minor territory of NZ (north and south island being 'mainland').

But, 'mainland' is often used by South Island NZers to suggest that the north island (by far the most populous) is nothing more than a secondary 'non-main' island.

If this is true then it seems to be the important piece of content here. Recommendation algorithms are generally designed to show the user what they want to see, rather than an equal, fair, or diverse set of options, so it sounds like they're working as intended here. This type of analysis could be done with any characteristic, not just gender, leaving me unsure as to what the specific purpose of this article is - if users want X more than Y then it should be no surprise that X is presented more often or receives more traffic.

If you have objects that are happily sharded arbitrarily across machines, don't need joins, transactions, or aggregates calculated on the server, then what are you getting over something like (for example) open-source Redis Cluster?

I ask, because if I spend a few hours designing in advance, and write a bit of code, I can get Redis to do much of what I need in such scenarios (counters, aggregates, statistics, indexes, queues, ...), and being that I wrote a book on Redis, task queues, object mapper, well, I'm going to use that instead (and use some of the public domain / open-source code I've already written).

Also, with my work on real Redis transactions (which I've made work across Redis Cluster) means that I don't even need to give up ACID transactions in Redis, regardless of scale.

Once I need more; in the form of post-hoc analysis, joins, group-by, aggregates, etc., at scale; either I can easily export from Redis into logfiles to csv/tsv/json for Spark, Python + Pandas, and/or Redshift if I've got the $, or at the same time just use pgloader into Postgres and live there.

I haven't mucked about with Postgres foreign data wrappers much, but there is a Redis one available, so maybe I can even drop that Redis -> S3/csv/tsv/json, and get everything I want (direct data structure manipulation in Redis + everything Postgres has).

So yeah. I generally solve my problems with a bit more design in advance, and MongoDB doesn't really have anything to design for/against; you get objects and indexes. Which are usually not as good as Postgres equivalents (Postgres json objects are better than MongoDB, just by themselves, and I'm not the first/only person to say it). And what I get from Redis (raw data structures, 1 million ops/second/core) means that for cases where other folks may use MongoDB, I use Redis. Then I use Postgres for basically everything else.

So yeah, I don't use MongoDB. Postgres for almost everything, and Redis for the cases where Postgres doesn't feel like quite the right fit.
Agreed, I think the histogram would be bimodal, split between people that solely watch cable TV and cord-cutters that solely stream.
Yes, and I assume this anecdotal story of mine is not unique: phone salespeople do this. My grandmother (in her late 70s at the time) was sold an “iPhone” at a Verizon store, after her and I discussed which phone for her to get. It was a Samsung galaxy. At the time, she had an iPad and a MacBook so it made sense for her to get an iPhone when upgrading to her first smart phone. The salesperson explained to her it was essentially the same and did all of the same stuff, and called it a Samsung iPhone and explained that it was better than the Apple one. You can guess at my confusion trying to walk her through how to use her new iPhone over the phone, when it wasn’t actually an iPhone and did not work quite the same as her iPad. I assume the salesperson made a better commission on the Samsung phone than the Apple one. It was definitely a bit of a hassle after the fact to go turn that phone in and replace it with an iPhone.
In the US?

I pay a total of $180 a month for 5 phone lines unlimited data on each + an iPad, unlimited 512Kbps tethering on each + 10Gb of high speed tethering on one for my son who uses his cell phone for his only internet. This is with T-mobile. They also throw in a family Netflix plan (4 simultaneous streams) with it.

Yes, the prices on both sides are kind of meaningless, but one can make reasonable guesses about how they're likely to change. There is no plausible scenario in which Intel drops their prices far enough for this one to be close. They've never done anything like that before, even when it might have made sense. One can also make reasonable guesses about what kinds of flaws are likely to be fixed before the hardware goes into full production. Power management not kicking in when it should is a pretty obvious one. Yes, there's some guesswork, but there's a big difference between educated guesses vs. "Cavium's problems are carved in stone and Intel's prices are infinitely flexible" wishful thinking. Don't put all of your money into Intel stock.
So, I know this is a late reply to this but.. My reaction to the announcement post was "YES!", but I see a few choices in current "Moons" that are part of the same problem the project proposes to fix. Dapper is performant and good for what it is, but entity framework is an amazing ORM IMHO. Simple.Migrations does not have a CLI or support SQL generation?... These are too low level and don't really provide that flash OOTB experience IMHO; same critique(valid) made of Suave and Giraffe. To compete with rails and phoenix in velocity and user experience those technologies are going to have to be swapped out with more feature rich and ambitious libraries..
> it is enough to verify only that each transaction writing to any of those fields is also writing to that "sum" field and that it does uphold the invariant

This is a good try at a theory of when you can use weak isolation. But as stated, I believe it is false. If the invariant is A+B=C, I think this sequence is permitted by READ COMMITTED:

T1: read A=1

T2: read B=1

T2: write A=2

T2: write C=3

T2: commit

T1: write B=10

T1: write C=11

T1: commit

Now A=2, B=10, C=11

More to the point, invariants aren't always local to a row, and people don't usually even fully articulate them.

> There is no need to pay the huge performance price of serializing those transactions with all the rest of transactions in the system

Serializable execution can be made very very fast when there aren't actually a lot of conflicts. And then when there are you can do the hard work of trying to prove that something weaker will work. The failure mode in the other direction is silent corruption of your data.

Something doesn’t add up here. Banned for returning 5 items in 2 years? I don’t think so. I’ve returned more than 5 items so far this year and it’s not even June. (I also buy a lot of stuff, but who knows? Maybe my ban is in the mail.)

These self reported stories of banning all reek of half the story bullshit. The stuff they were returning was abused or they’re habitually lying about return reasons to get free shipping or something.

Amazon really REALLY wants to sell you stuff and barely BARELY break even. They even introduced Amazon wardrobe on tons of clothing items recently where all returns are free for 30 days. If they’re banning people, I’ll bet there’s a good reason.

> An infinite algebraic type lattice that confers a distinct type upon every distinct value. Intrinsic support for a rich collection of immutable types, including tuples, sets, maps, functions, and continuations.

Ok, I consider myself OK at type theory but I'm still lost in what this claim actually means. And if it is what I think it is (that all values have types), I wonder how this doesn't run afoul of decidability of fancy dependent type systems (perhaps 1 has a type, 2 has a type, but 1 + 2's type isn't 3?).
> Sometimes I think the surest sign that we’re not living in a computer simulation is that if we were, some microbe would have learned to exploit its flaws.

What makes the author so sure that it hasn't? We can only take the workings of the universe for what they are. We have no context with which to determine what is a flaw and what is just physics. One could say that quantum tunneling looks a hell of a lot like a common collision detection bug, but that could just be because how reality actually works is unintuitive to minds evolved for a more applicable set of rules. We'd never know the difference. In fact, it probably isn't meaningful to say there even is a difference.
Really? You wake up with a stuffed nose and immediately rush to the doctor's office? I don't. If it feels like a cold or flu (the most frequent sicknesses at work), I'll just rest at home for a few days and I'm better. This is what most people do with colds; a doctor's not needed, and if you do contact a doctor with cold symptoms, they'll tell you to stay home and rest. What's more, I don't get my coworkers sick if I'm staying at home resting.

If, on the other hand, I work somewhere that has a 'doctor's note' policy, I'll probably convince myself the cold is 'not that bad' (certainly not worth losing pay or whatever the HR penalty is for not having a doctor's note), come in to work and get coworkers sick. Others do the same. Over time, this adds up. I've worked at places that strictly enforce 'doctor's note' policies and basically it means everyone has colds all the time, and if you work there, so will you.

I would like to know this about a work environment before I join.
You are correct. The provisioning sucked. I will be fully transparent about that. In fact, I had the same problems myself. You can see the list of issues here [1]. That provisioning madness is actually unrelated to AKS, but it's being addressed by the team. This is one of the reasons why the service isn't GA yet.

I'd say give it a try in the EastUS region, or some time after GA. Once you do have an AKS cluster up it all works well.

As a committed bog member I am stunned, nay flabbergasted at this egregious display of flippancy
I don't know why people think this. The European Commission Directorate General for Competition lists around 35 thousand cases in their Antitrust and General Registry alone.

EU directives are transposed to member states, who are the ones who enforce EU policy. If you're talking about EU members getting hit for non compliance with directive implementation - sure. If you're talking about private sector non compliance with transposed EU directives, that's largely up to how individual member states enforce EU requirements, since EU directives effectively become separate laws once they're transposed by each EU member.

As far as I'm aware, there's little aggregated data on how individual member states enforce (as in, number of cases and total amount of fines per year) EU directives. The EU takes in ~4-5 billion Euros per year in assessed fines, but the total amount should be significantly higher once you account for all of the cases/fines that are assessed on private companies, by individual member states, for non compliance with individual state laws implemented to enforce EU directives.
Someone smart needs to explain what an infinite algebraic lattice is, because it sounds awesome. Potentially.

Edit: (I just googled "algebraic type lattice" and while ymmv, I don't recommend it unless you're well versed in scary black mathic)

I didn't get too in depth with reading the docs, but any language that goes for non ascii symbols a la APL is going to be fighting an uphill battle right from the get go.

Maybe it was a bit easier even for apl because there were interfaces more immersive than what we have now for non ascii, especially when mixed with regular ascii.

Type type type, oh wait, backslash, dropdown, there's my symbol, enter, type type type. That's not very fun. That's less fun when youre dividing your cognition between what things im actually trying to accomplish and what things I have to type.

Ask HN: I might have a problem with discriminatory hiring practices
Posting this for a friend to protect his anonymity:

I currently work for a startup that is getting close to IPO. Part of my duties include giving technical interviews to potential candidates. Lately, I have realized that I am much more lenient on women and minorities than I am with white men. I often give them more hints and offer deeper guidance when solving whiteboard problems than I do for white male candidates, and I tend to rate them higher than I would for their experience level, compared to how I would rate them if they were white & male.

Another thing that I've realized, is that we are only giving offers for entry level positions to people of color and women. We really don't need entry level people right now; we desperately need experienced/seasoned engineers. Because of that we pass on entry-level/junior applicants that are white males. However, because we value diversity highly, we often hire entry-level/junior candidates who are minorities despite not really needing junior people at the moment.

I normally wouldn't reach out to strangers on the internet with something like this, but I'm really conflicted about this, yet am afraid to say anything about it to others in the company.

Now that I'm aware of this, I have been trying to change how I approach these interviews. However, when I'm honest with myself I don't think white males deserve the position as much as minorities and women. They've been reaping the benefits of their privilege for years, and now it only seems fair to reverse it. I still recommend hire for strong white male candidates, but not as readily as for a minority candidate.

I believe that most of us in the hiring pipeline do the same as I do. People rarely criticize a minority candidate during the internal discussions post-interview. It seems taboo to criticize a person who is not white/male.

What would you do in my case?
