Awesome explanation!

Thanks a lot.

It's amazing how something seemingly simple as "temperature" can be so counter-intuitive.
Maybe your problem is just being overly consistent? Wouldn't just making half the answers officially available, but not troubling yourself overly over whether you can validate that someone really is an instructor allow you to you to have your cake and eat it too? As you point out, the profs who think they can't teach out of a book with officially available answers are probably deluded anyway, and the answers not being "officially" available might be enough to satisfy them (and thus for you to reap the academic reward for your effort you deserve). A text book with available answers is a so much greater public good, it's disheartening to see you penalized for it.
Right, as the commenters in SO point out, any situation that's bad enough for the human pilot to eject is also almost certainly bad enough that the autopilot won't be able to do much.
It is not just buying a Chinese company that is forbidden, but foreign companies cannot build a factory for production in China without creating a company that is majority Chinese owned that owns the factory. No possibility for trade secrets. All your tech will be learned and transferred to China.
Why aren't all keyboards ortholinear? Designing keyboards with staggered keys is absurd.
I've never interacted directly with IBM, but I remember about 2 years ago, they had a talk at the Akamai Edge conference about how they dealt with bloated cookies. The company I work for has the same problem so I sat in to see what their solution was.

The problem they were having is that all the various IBM lines of business added so much garbage onto the client's cookie, that eventually their pages would stop loading because they wouldn't be able to parse the cookie.

The 'solution' is to detect when that's about to happen, and redirect the client to a page that warns them that their cookie is too big (because IBM made it too big) and give them a button to delete their cookie. They then continue to start over and stuff more garbage into the fresh cookie.

That kind of problem solving pretty much made me lose faith in them successfully doing much of anything anymore.
Does it count as ironic that I can’t watch the segment here in Australia because “the uploader has not made this available in your country”?
Thanks. Your amazon fire idea seems like a good starting point. Like you I also only received searched from 5-6 yrs old. Hoping for something newer.
> It has to do with artificially low interest rates

It's predominantly a supply problem. Interest rates are low across the country, yet San Francisco is in a unique situation.
Apologies if it is in the paywalled article, but what reason could they possibly have of deciding against its inclusion for civilian aircraft?
Even supporters of gun rights don't really use this argument though. They seem to just say there is no real downside to guns, when obviously there is a downside, just like there is a downside for free speech.
1. I provided 6 separate examples of the use of psychology (3 experiments, 3 real-world use-cases). You responded to one.

2. Something being biological is not contrary to it being psychological.

Your response is disingenuous. You certainly are well-aware that your blanket statement was a rash, emotional inaccuracy. Rather than concede that point, you're choosing to try to nit-pick at one sixth of the refutation.

This is HN, best just to admit your mistake.
As I indicated in my post, you'll find no disagreement here. It's just one consistent worldview that answers rayiner's question.
For me, it's less about the ease of starting one thing than it is the ease of juggling a lot of things. I've got docker containers on my machine for multiple work projects and a few organizations I do volunteer dev work for. Between them, I'm running two versions each of Ruby and Python and a number of instances of Postgres and MySQL, plus local Redis containers for three separate projects. Shifting between them is as simple as docker-compose down/cd/docker-compose up. When I'm done developing for the day, I just take everything down and bring it back the next morning.
Seeing "domain-contacts.txt" reminded how much simpler the internet used to be. Imagine not being afraid of giving out your contact info to the whole internet!

I'm not sure if the people who participated at the time would ever have imagined the need for whois anonymizers and weird tricks to keep your email address from being picked up by robots and spiders.
> Sure, your ops team can put together a bunch of stuff manually. And then you can create a bunch of extra stuff that makes it easier for development to handle all of that inside virtual machines, and get the network bridging between those apps and the host machine working properly, and all that fun stuff.

I think this is one of the biggest reasons people use Docker, although they tend to forget to mention it since it's not exactly a technical advantage of Docker; in many ways, it allows developers to bypass DevOps or sometimes eliminate them all together. No more creating Jira tickets just to have a specific version of Imagemagick installed on a server.
Soil moisture changes? Most panels are mounted on metal rails on roofs, presumably the structure isn't shifting so much that the roof's geometry is changing. Otherwise, yes, obviously exposure to the elements is hard on everything, though humans successfully maintain structures that are hundreds of years old.
All age and gender groups, not just men who are of dating age, are seeing increases in suicide.

I also have to ask: how many friends do you have that are women?

It's been my experience that women are more likely to settle down with a less traditionally conventional partner, nowadays, than in the past. Money, power and looks are less important qualities than they traditionally were. Contrary to your belief, I believe this is because woman are able to find economic independence now, and marriage is no longer their one door of opportunity to a better life.

Sure, there are some women who 'date up', but they aren't the majority and aren't in anyway representative of an overall trend. Shallow people exist on both sides.
> 1/3 on wages, 1/3 on capital, 1/3 for everything else

You're criticizing businesses for following your prescription. They were 1/3-1/3-1/3. Wages went up. Quantity of labor demanded is being reduced to compensate.

Transfer learning is one of the most interesting aress of machine learning. The focus is on taking learnings for one task, and applying them directly for another. More directly, Jeff Dean from Google had a fascinating talk about using these techniques to create a single super-model that combines learnings from thousands of tasks to accomplish new things quickly.

Literal serverless architecture.
I have a 60% (I think. Not sure how the percentages are figured). It's also ortholinear, and it gave me a chance to reinvent the layout and what keys should appear. (https://i.imgur.com/9F0k3zv.jpg, and https://imgur.com/yMdkEnP.jpg)

I ditched the number pad, the function keys, and the navigation cluster. That freed up room to separate the two halves of the keyboard and put a bunch of symbols in the center.

I've always wanted to use hjkl as my arrow keys anyway, now I can do that. Function keys used to be a stretch to get to, and I could never touch type them. Now I can.

My next plan is to add another row across the top for macros, and a few more columns in the center to separate my hands even more. The end result will be a keyboard that's almost as large as a standard one, but with no useless crap hanging off the right side :)
>people are supposed to look at less glamorous cities, but if everyone affected by this did that then they would probably run out of opportunities, fill up, and have housing prices shoot up as well

That already happened in Austin, Denver, Nashville and Portland, and is now underway in Detroit, Cleveland, Atlanta, Pittsburgh and elsewhere.
I'm a huge fan of simple meals that don't involve a crock pot. There are so many variations on stir fry, that you can eat a distinctly different tasting meal every day of the week. You can even combine the two to help with meal prepping.

Brown a flank steak in a pan. We're not sealing in juices - we're making a crust. Throw it in the slow cooker for a few hours. Check to make sure it's tender. Prep some veggies by cutting and portioning them in containers. Find a stew sauce that's simple. When you're ready to eat, saute your veggies in a little oil, and add a generous portion of sauce when your stir fry is near complete. Throw in the meat towards to end to heat. Serve over potatoes or rice or something simple.
Wow. Wow. Wow.

Part of me is terrified that someone who has all my details just bought a firm that can trad on them. (It’s economic magic though - as if the Federal Reserve bought a hedge fund)

But part of me says that when one dinosaur buys another, the end result is rarely Excellence. I suspect that this will wind up a disaster and write-off.
My initial thought was that this was yet another post about serverless!
Yeah, FAANG+M and the banks make up the vast majority of the rise in the stock market. Mostly because of tax cuts, stock buybacks, and interest rates going up.

> they employ a lot of undocumented labour

Having spoken to a few restauranteurs in carpools et cetera, it does appear the Bay Area restaurant labor pool contains lots of undocumented persons.
I'm still talking about undergraduate mathematics here. There's billions of dollars spent worldwide on providing exactly that. The issue is that a standard undergraduate course, especially in mathematics, is quite deep, relative to, for example, a YouTube "science" video.

On the other hand, technology offers new and interesting ways to disseminate this knowledge, but I see very little at the same depth as a standard undergraduate course, which is not just a video of someone doing the equivalent of a chalk-and-talk.
No, they did not. Illness and plague wiped out most of South and Central America.

Wars of conquest did not kill remotely as many in comparison.

Moreover, were the Aztecs to have a land boundary to Spain, and were they able to defeat them, the Aztecs would have had no problem slicing up Spaniards and eating their beating hearts for dinner as well.

So the better team definitely won in this case.
This is pretty standard in most of Finland
What is your use case and what are the alternatives you're considering? I'm trying to understand what to imagine here.
More and more "vertical integration".

And, with the current FCC, I expect more forced "channeling" of customers/users into said integration.

I wrote Congress regarding net neutrality. I got one response -- and that not from my own representatives. And, despite my pointing this behavior out in my original letter, it just continued to shill the ATT, Comcast, Verizon, et al. talking points.

Right now, at home, on the connection Comcast just raised the monthly cost of by circa 30% since the beginning of this year, I'm using a VPN to keep their nose (and JS injection) out of my business.

I reiterate: We need a competing physical layer. One that we keep from getting likewise co-opted.
> Yes and Microsoft profits were rising at the same time the web, iPhone, Chrome, et al were eating out its foundation.

So... the scenario you have in mind for Intel's coming collapse is... a not-quite-as-dominant major industry player in the coming decades? Microsoft got passed by Google and Facebook and Amazon, sure. They're still making, y'know, crazy bank.
Simple hyperparameter and architecture search in tensorflow with ray tune
The article claims that “People have survived for centuries off this staple consisting only of flour, water, salt, and yeast.”

I’d like to challenge this assertion. Can anybody name even one person who has survived for centuries off bread?
I would like something to be done about the issue of NIMBYism that is promoting the constant rise in housing cost but I its hard for me to believe that all these people had a decent life and that suddenly due to rising house prices they were driven to the streets and that everything will be fixed once housing prices become affordable again.

I wonder if the homeless issue in california is a lot like it is in hawaii where people actively go there just to be homeless there rather than being displaced from their homes due to housing prices. After all the weather is nicer so its better to be homeless there than anywhere else.

Could the real issue be something like the opiod epidemic and homeless people are just moving to places with better weather? drug addiction makes sense to me why someone would want to stay homeless because I know people who live like that and everyone I've ever know whose rent was something they could not afford anymore just moved to somewhere less expensive.
> ... butt into our conversation

I never have waiters butt into my conversations. They (politely) interrupt so that they can be of service to me, but they never butt in.
Did they also have psychological guidance? I guess you can still destroy yourself, even with a smaller stomach.
The article only mentions the engineers being laid off, not the managers who botched it, nor the executives who hired with incompetence. The reward structure of such a corporate environment would seem counter-intuitive to success.
144hz won't make a difference when you develop, tbh get something with good viewing angles with the size and resolution you want

You could always go up in size and resolution, like 27" and 1440p
So what? Who cares what China does internally. Globalization dogma says that countries that limit foreign investment are only hurting themselves. If they want to shoot themselves in the foot, that's their problem.

This economic mantra has been pushed by the United States for the past 70 years, mostly to get developing markets to open up to US companies. Maybe we should apply it domestically, and see what happens?
According to Foucault, there is no such difference as the one you posit, only a relative difference in time-scale.
The recommendation, translation, & image classification algorithms are all done with deep-learning; that's considered AI now.

There was a time, not all that long ago, when SVMs, Bayesian networks, and perceptrons were considered AI. That's behind the spam filters, predictive keyboards, and most of the search signals.

There was a time, a bit longer ago, when beam search and A* were considered AI. That's behind the game opponents.

As the linked Wikipedia article says, "AI is whatever we don't know how to do yet." There will be a time (rapidly approaching) where deep learning and robotics are common knowledge among skilled software engineers, and we won't consider them AI either. We'll find something else to call AI then, maybe consciousness or creativity or something.
There isn’t one. They even had to suppress a warning about how the code can never be reached.
It is likely that the severance offered is less than the cost of an unsuccessful PIP.
I'd rather go up against the US Government over illegal monitoring, where at least you have some form of due process, than many other countries.
The obvious solution would be to not provide access to the even-numbered answers to anyone. Students in poor countries would presumably be able to study with just the odd numbered questions (after all, university students are expected to do so). Requests from instructors could be answered with "If you can't solve these problems yourself, you have no business assigning them as homework.", or, if you're feeling particularly Kafkaesque, assume the're all actually students and congratulate them on having a particularly convincing return address, but no, you're still not going to help them cheat.

This does call for a rather more misanthropic attitude than you seem to have, though.
Why Dota and not something like adverse-weather helicopter flying which is more "useful"?

You're completely right. Although ome have solutions book.

For math specifically, they all state theorems and prove them. It's good practice to try to prove a stated theorems without looking at its proof first.
Are you implying that people believe the US doesn't have an intelligence community that engages in covert surveillance?

In the past few years, the debate seems to have shifted from "What is appropriate oversight and behavior for intelligence agencies" to "Literally all national-level intelligence operations are a crime which must be stopped". The difference between the US and China/Russia is that in theory we have an intelligence community that is answerable for its actions to an elected civilian government. The extent to which that is true is obviously debatable, but to try to draw some equivalency here is absurd.
> Blockchain smart contracts are often unchangeable, so you can't fix bugs

This is the fatal flaw with smart contracts as a concept.

If they can be changed by the author then they don't provide the security guarantees that make the system worth using, but if they aren't changeable by the author then a huge fraction of smart contracts will ultimately end up doing something unintended because of any of the million reasons we don't normally expect first releases of alpha software to work perfectly in all circumstances.

In a perfect world Etherium would work great, but we don't live in a perfect world. People make mistakes. Any system which expects human input but isn't designed to gracefully handle human error (including the humans who programmed the system) is probably not going to end well.
Docker wins because it's easy to use and becomes a de-facto standard. The author misses that completely.

I get it, you can do "manually" the same things as docker when you're a good system administrator. You'll come up with your own unique solution to most problems addressed by docker. Regardless of the fact that it'll probably be specific to a single linux distribution, you probably won't have anyone interested in investing time in learning your unique way of doing containers.

I did not waste time when I learned how docker does it.

I login into a server managed by this author, curse him for using all those "standard" techniques in his own unique way. Spend hours figuring out the details.

I login into a server running things with docker: I already know all I need. `docker ps` will tell me what services it runs, `docker inspect` for more info, `docker logs` give me the logs of whatever service I need to check, etc.
I don't know about the other examples but Xerox made all their money back on Parc and then some, via the laser printer patent iirc.

They did miss the boat on personal computing though...
Staggered is easier to type on, especially with small keyboards. Prevents you having to angle your wrists too much.
To tip the chef?
I doubt it is even undefined in this case.

Ejected vs. not-ejected is very likely not even an input variable to the autopilot. So the answer would be:

Autopilot will attempt to do exactly what it was doing before the pilot ejected.
I'm writing a service that downloads content from Reddit. Usually I just want to see the top video of the week, or maybe the top 5 pics from /r/pics every day or something like that. The service has handlers for various kinds of URLs. For example, if it detects a youtube URL, it utilizes "youtube-dl", or if it's an image link it will use curl, if it is a text post, I might download it as a json object from the reddit API.

This serves two purposes for me:
1. I can be more specific about how I want to consume reddit. ie, I can fine tune parameters for each subreddit.
2. The download destination is directly to my NAS, so I can hoard it. (Bit of a datahoarder here)

It's been a fun learning experience identifying the diversity of URLs/Domains that are posted to reddit. Definitely a different perspective.

Hah, OK then :-) I figured there might be a unit-testy reason or something -- where you can temporarily disable panics and patch out process exits. Thanks!
No, it was an observation against authoritarianism. You do know that Orwell was, above all, anti-fascist and anti-Stalinist right?
It's not the reason most end up homeless, but progressive policies applied incorrectly can certainly exacerbate the problem.

Excluding the dirty kids who choose the lifestyle, the easier you make it to be homeless and drug addicted the less likely they are to seek treatment.

In Ottawa I remember the mayor pleading on television not to give any handouts or cash to the homeless, so they'd seek out the govt services that would help them.

SF enables them far more than most cities...they can shoot up in broad daylight in a Bart station or busy street with no police response.
Crating All of the Data That the Edge Creates
I Think Orwell's point about socialism was far more pointed then that. Orwell in his travels, written partly about in "The road to Wigan Pier" partly illustrated the recurring theme we see in society where people (who will inevitiably rise to power, unless stopped) will use socialism not as a tool for lifting everyone up but explicitly to tear their perceived enemies down, something that has never resulted in a better society by any metric unless "well at least everyone is miserable" is your primary goal.
Every Watson ad I see on TV freaks me the hell out. Seeing primetime television commercials for business AIs feels too uncomfortably cyberpunk for me
Exactly. And restaurants already operate on very tight profit margins (~5%).

If 1/3 of their cost went to labor in 2014 when the minimum wage was $10.74, the proportion will be much higher at a minimum wage of $15 in 2018.

Sure they could raise prices, but you risk pricing customers out, and as the one restaurant owner discovered, customers will still spend the same amount by ordering less or cheaper items.
