I don’t think there will be an AI winter frankly. A lot of the use cases that businesses want can be built with a combination of decision trees and some ML for classification.

ML works incredibly well on even lightly-structured data (which includes most financial data streams). Agree it hasn’t lived up to the AI hype, but that doesn’t mean what it can deliver on isn’t useful.
I didn’t say it’s “inferior”. I said it’s not the foundation of their numbering system because their numbering system is not duodecimal.
If we're talking about non-VPN solutions, then Android continues to allow several ad-blocking solutions such as browsers with it built in, or browsers like Firefox which run extension systems which support popular blockers like Ublock Origin.

Does iOS support custom browsers like Firefox running their own engine and extension systems? They never did when I was a user.

If people don't like a product or service then they simply shouldn't use it, no matter how many of their peers and friends do.

It's really simple and doesn't involve bringing in (literal) government guns that'll just end up controlled via regulatory capture anyway.

If you are talking design that is used for logos and whatnot, that's on the client: they make the final call after all. Some might just take whatever the designer gives them, but I imagine most want to do some bikeshedding.

In fact I suspect most of the value (for the designers) of those exercises where designers involve the client and make mindmaps and select "values" and whatnot is to trick the client into a self-made cage, resulting in manageable bikeshedding.
I would be very careful about touting NH's approach. We fund schools entirely on property taxes, so rich towns have good schools and poor towns do not. I'd guess part of the disparity is that in NH's poorer towns kids aren't even taking the SATs.

Not paying taxes is cool but the annual discussion of "Which completely normal public service will we forgo or curtail this year?" isn't so awesome.
When nobody is compliant, the regulating authorities can pick whoever they want to prosecute, including favoring turning a blind eye towards local companies and targeting foreign companies.

You are correct that the requirements are different, but not exactly for the reasons you mention. Users of those languages use them to prove theorems, and the theorems you get are correct with respect to the arithmetical theory used. Programmers may want some error condition when dividing by zero, because that's what they believe their users expect (say, the program drives some actuator, and bad things may happen if division by zero is not detected). So yeah, the justification for this behavior needs to be different.
Well sure, there are a lot of good candidates. Most bad candidates don't even apply.

What if instead of reading resumes/interviews/whatever else they did they just put all the names into a hat and made offers to everyone selected? This is your baseline, does your process beat this? If not, you could save a lot of time/effort using the hat selection method. (note that it is possible to be worse than the hat method)
China Turns to Robotic Policing
This isn't really the right forum for this I think? You should be asking stack overflow or a sub-reddit.

If you need to ask these questions though, I'm going to go out on a limb and say you shouldn't be the one setting these things up.

You should hire a professional. You'll save yourself some real pain. You even already have examples to show them.
Except that a shared CDN which everyone uses results in better performance.

For the popular fonts, a user probably already has them in their browser cache from other sites, so they load instantly.

Having sites redundantly host identical font files separately is a step backwards for users, who wind up waiting longer for a page to load, or experiencing the jarring FOUT (Flash Of Unstyled Text).

> And color slides were just always a finicky and fairly expensive way to take and show photos.

When I was a kid in the 80s color slides sessions with a projector were awesome. Since we don't really use projectors anymore and our screen sizes are somewhat limited, I think we have lost something by moving to digital.
> This is because of how much of the unix clone ecosystem has been built around C workflows, and this wasn't true on Windows until linux compatibility was developed on it.

Because C (and its close relatives like C++) is still the only language suitable for systems development.

Just booting any other language on bare metal is enough of an achievement that people loudly brag when they get it to just barely work. If you get it to work in C then nobody is surprised, because C is engineered for systems. Other languages aren't.

> convincing linus and sysadmin greybeards to modernize linux and is no small task, until then we'll all still be just be scripting over archaic C apis

I'm not sure replacing C with a worse language constitutes "modernizing".

This area of the internet seems poised for a massive disruption as AI starts coming in. In fact I'd be a little surprised if it wasn't already a somewhat influential thing.

You could imagine a GAN-like ecosystem appearing, where you have loads of algorithms both writing and identifying fake reviews.

And with that, poor old humans like myself can surely not compete. You'd always have to have a healthy scepticism towards reviews. I already do, in an era where most of the fakes are probably (?) still human-authored.
I am assuming their only liability is the one they agree to.

They very likely have terms that say no refunds if the company goes bust, changes hands or pivots.

On the financial side, it is just the lifetime value of a user upfront. Even in a SaaS, most users will churn and stop using it so it is in the businesses best interest to collect all the money upfront.

Firefox Focus ships with a content blocker extension, I think, so it can block ads in Safari and third-party apps using SFSafariViewController. Chrome uses a webview, so the content blocker won't work there.

>The pressure to be as responsive and fluid as a mobile app is high, and that requires solutions for data management and synchronicity.

Can you explain what you mean by that? Is it related to mobile apps supporting notifications, as one point?
The response from the people I've seen who are quitting Google because of Maven seems to be basically: We should all quit!

Unfortunately this is a collective action problem and if there is even one group who defects, then a boycott is for naught. Might slow things down temporarily but in the end wouldn't stop them.

Yes, the Strong Towns organization has a unique perspective on this. They make a convincing argument that local governments in the U.S. are trapped in a "growth Ponzi scheme." [1] Without continuous growth, most of them will never cover their liabilities. Strong Towns also provides interesting insights on how to avoid and correct this pattern.

I wouldn't call acquiring root access so that I can install a adblocking app "incredibly easy".
Shakespeare is most effectively taught, not just by speaking it, but also with acting - they are plays after all. The poetry suggests action, and I think it really helps to understand a character or scene if you're physically submitting yourself to the emotion of the dialogue.
It's like saying Ferrari doesn't matter market-wise because they sell only a few thousands cars a year. The same goes for large format film photography.
Good point - maybe Alphabet already passed up on this opportunity, and the goal in this interview was to give the impression that Uber is doing something about its automation problem.

The state can be very effective at breaking up monopolies, if there is the will. You'd be surprised.

Why wouldn't it be possible to get a notification for HTTPs though since the domain part of the URL is still unencrypted?

Also I am curious what the media coverage has been regarding the state HTTP filtering?

I've heard good things about Chattanooga due to their municipal gigabit, have been meaning to check it out.

I was really surprised by how nice AL was too last time I drove through it. All that said, if I go back south, it will be hard to not pick NC. Asheville doesn't have much industry for tech, but it's exactly the kind of culture (hippies, artists, bluegrass, great food) and weather I've been missing. Cost of living is high by NC standards, but not for remote workers. Definitely more appealing than Vermont for most folks who don't need to be near Boston or NYC.
Typography and logo design have fashions just like almost everything else. There are good reasons for the relatively simple logos and wordmarks you see today--mostly around legibility in small sizes because of mobile.

But, unless someone's deliberately cultivating a retro look, consider any batch of random logos from 20 years ago and compare them to a batch of current ones and you're going to see a lot of common patterns.
Fantastic suggestion! I will give this a go soon.

Generally, those that go down this path use a much more streamlined solution like downloading an IPA file and using something like Cydia Impactor (http://www.cydiaimpactor.com) to sign and install the app. It least, I think that that's easier than finding a kernel bug in iOS…
An interesting part of it is the low number of references from outside sites. Reddit is amazing for concentric closed tribes with occasional ripple-like effects in the main page from some niche subreddits. Is this the real hivemind of a big chunk of mankind?
“Flutter is awesome, but where do I start learning?”
This is one of the issues that this plan will run up into.

Normally someone may work remotely in a more rural place for cheap housing, but some of the housing in Vermont isn't that cheap.

Burlington has some of the same housing issues that other cities in the county have. I would imagine the vast majority of people who would consider doing this plan would want to live near Burlington. Well, that means Burlington would need to address housing supply and affordability too.
No, you still need a processing agreement with Amazon, but that's not a problem.
This is such a well-defined problem with clear constraints, it's not the kind of R&D that can fail in the sense of a drug with unacceptable side effects or a high-tech fighter jet which becomes an overpriced boondoggle. It's simple navigation of paved, mapped roads with an array of sensors. Except perhaps for really harsh weather, even the edgiest edge cases are pretty limited in scope.

The absolute worst case scenario, within a couple years, is that you have limited deployment in favorable conditions, with fail-safes and human operators ready to take over remotely.

I've noticed that when cruise articles pop up here on HN they reliably provoke someone to create a new account express this sentiment.

Previous examples are this account: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=tmpnam1234567

and this user _Fricken: https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=_Fricken, who based on choice of username seems to actually be impersonating the submitter of this thread.

As to the validity of the criticism I have no idea, but it strikes me as very odd.

edit: Fricken (no underscore) didn't actually submit this, but submitted the same article and is here in the comments.
GDPR covers EU residents so you don't need to be a citizen (i.e. you could travel to EU and delete all your data) - see chapter 1 "your company is established outside the EU but offers goods or services to, or monitors the behaviour of, individuals within the EU."

EDIT: reading a bit more seems that some companies think that its only when a data subject has data processed within the EU (i.e. they data subject is in the EU) or the data processing is done in the EU.

I've never shot much transparency film, and I've definitely never developed it. I guess my favorite part of shooting slides is that you can't fix things in the darkroom. What you get off the camera is what you've got (absent digital manipulation, of course).

As a pretty casual photographer (I don't have a darkroom or access to one, and have never really been more than a roll a month shooter), that means I've both been surprised at how well shots have come out, and disappointed at others. It's an expensive feedback loop, to be sure.

I won't defend slide film for more serious work, but I love it for my own casual use.

Canon had an early lead in sensor noise (they bet big on CMOS early on when most of the market was treating CCD as the future), from the early 2000s up until Sony moved to on-chip ADC around 2009-2010 and Nikon adopted their sensors wholesale.

It's worth noting that Canon has moved to on-chip ADC and that there's now only around a stop difference in noise between their sensors and Sony's, but from 2010-2016ish, Sony was certainly far ahead of the game.
Hypothetically it pays for the content. I think practically most content gets ripped off and copied and has ads slapped on it. If you are using a programming language (say Python) that has useful documentation (Clojure is a counterexample; just buy Rick's book.) you are almost always better off looking up things in the manual because Google surfaces advertising sites that add nothing but mistakes, omissions, broken English, etc. I think of how 80% of the Python answers on stack overflow have something like "print x" and won't work on Py 3.

It is hard to find content which is really worthwhile on the advertising supported web. The very nature of it is that valuable content is devalued relative to spam. Like Gresham's law, bad content drives out good.
OVH, Scaleway, Online.net have less expensive options usually with better hardware or dedicated servers.

Shakespeare's Globe in London did full OP productions (on the main stage) of Romeo and Juliet (2004, [1]) and Troilus and Cressida (2005, [2]). David and Ben were advisors. Highly recommended if you ever get the chance to see something similar; besides the rhyming/punning issues you mention, it's a lot brisker and more natural-sounding.

Interestingly, the prologue for R+J announces that the play "is now the two hours' traffic of our stage". It's rare for an uncut modern production to clock in much below 3.

LibreOffice has never been an excellent alternative, IMO. It comes across as a mediocre port of a copy of Excel from 15 years ago.

Teaching users who are not great with computers and who know modern excel how to use some 1999-era LibreOffice Calc software is not fun. LibreOffice recreates the worst parts of menu/modal hell and it's not a place the modern user is good at navigating.

In every case I recommend Google Sheets over Calc these days. So much easier to teach, more intuitive design, and more simply interoperable with the outside world.
HN in general has an info bubble problem, where it looks to them like Microsoft is dying because trendy Bay Area startups all use Slack and Google Docs. But in the rest of the industry, Microsoft is huge and, if anything, getting stronger over time and not weaker. Microsoft products that HN has never even heard of, like Dynamics and Host Integration Server, still make billions in revenue.
I don't totally understand the figure. What is determining the number of data points taken? It looks like the density of readings in the NW is much higher than in the NE.
Well, you can just look at Kansas to see what happens when you gut your taxes to where you can't actually pay for anything.
Right, so it's a question of performance vs privacy. Which is a very legitimate debate.

One of the best ways to implement SIMD support for C would be to add native quaternion and octonion support to the language!
debt has higher priority than equity, so buffett would get paid in most underperforming scenarios.

he may even have been asking to be preferred debt, so that he gets paid before other debtholders. if the company fails, he’s still be first in line to get paid to limit losses in that case. that’s the downside protection.

if he still believed in the company even as it underperformed, the debt could be converted to equity (probably at very favorable conversion prices), basically buying the equity at a discount. he’d then be in position to exert some measure of control over management.

in most underperforming cases he at least gets his money back plus some interest (not bad, but not great). in some cases, he gets cheap and possibly preferred equity in uber that’s already worth more than he paid, and possibly a lot more eventually.
Canon's sensors are decent, not a running joke as you say. But yeah they are known more for their colors (which is actually very important). Sony has destroyed the competition with their sensors though, and has really pushed the boundaries, at least until recently with that 50 mpix sensor that Canon released. Haven't researched that much though, I'm a few years behind myself.

That said, Canon has historically been the winner with their lens selection, and IMO UX. Sony is quickly catching up, or even surpassing them though with e-mount, especially now that more 3rd party lens manufacturers are killing it (Sigma). I also like EVFs more than OVFs since you get a better exposure preview and focus peeking for manual focus. I really, really, really wanted to buy a Sony a7, but I ended up buying a Canon 6d due to lens selection a few years ago (and the Canon beat them on price). I'm a huge fan of mirrorless tech and I'm actually surprised that SLRs are still around.

The camera body is being commoditized. I'm a canon fan and hope they catch up with a full frame mirrorless, my buddy who follows the tech more said he's heard rumors that they are releasing one next year?
