Sure, but I reached out nearly a year ago to the maintainers with no reply. It seems anyone can now execute anything on your infrastructure (for free!), which isn't great.
> can Trump do same with some European country?

Trump didn’t cause Turkey’s problems. Decades of debt-driven growth, an imbalanced reliance on exports and incompetent administration (in defending property rights and monetary policy) caused this. Investors aren’t dumping Turkish assets because the U.S. levied light sanctions. They’re selling because Erdogan installed an incompetent son-in-law as central banker.

Erdogan travels a well-worn path. Most dictators don’t leave office peacefully. They die horribly or die in power. Their nation’s economies therefore transform into a mechanism for preserving their power. Longer-term and broader concerns, in turn, atrophy.

I'd note that all the feminists were fine with Title IX star chambers with oppressive rules that hampered a good defense... As long as it could be a cudgel to be used against "misogyny" and "patriarchy".

They are only unhappy now that someone they value is under the same rules.
I suspect this will be a fairly regular story in the next few months/years. Self-driving tech seems to be a lot further off than people think so a lot of companies that were formerly very exciting will not be able to deliver and will need to close up shop. I think there's some possibility that it will go the way of flying cars at least for now.

Fortunately a lot of the tech that does work can find a second life as progressive enhancement for human drivers. Blind spot detection, auto lane following, and smart cruise control are great features that ease some of the burden in driving and I think it's good to see them being more widely distributed in newer cars.
It definitely seems like your city is determined to sacrifice everything necessary to uphold their car culture.
Feminism is just one of the many attack vectors on western civilization used by the collective cancer known as liberalism.
If you had left out "leftist" here you could have made a point instead of serving as your own example.
Having made the jump, this mentality seems insane to me :)

Spotify is $10 / month, the price of one album. For that, I get an essentially infinite [1] library of music that's basically always available to me whenever I want, curated playlists, discovery features, sharing features [2], etc, etc. It all just works, I never have to think about it, etc.

By contrast, unless I'm pirating music, what does $10 get me? An album a month? So after a year, I own 12 albums and had to hassle with the files and downloads, whereas with Spotify it just works and I've listened to 10x - 100x that much music.

Yes, if / when I stop paying for Spotify, I'll lose access, but so what? I wasn't planning on spending 20 years paying a fortune to accumulate a music library and then stopping cold and never paying again, just listening to that music I bought. I'm happy to just pay $50 - 100 / month until I die for subscriptions to huge and ever-growing libraries of music, movies, TV shows, books, etc. Seems like a fantastic deal.

1. I don't have niche tastes or a deep attachment to any particular artist that I simply MUST have, so their selection is far beyond anything I really need.

2. I don't use these, but still.

What are your experiences with this? I've thought about doing this but decided against it because I figure the candidate's anxiety and stress levels are already high enough without the knowledge that they've been given a problem that's impossible for them to solve.
I enjoy Peter Woit's writing and especially loved his book "Not Even Wrong." I also enjoy shitting on string theory from the comfort of my armchair. Maybe this is "productive," in the sense that getting people to stop investing in string theory will get them to work on investing in something else, but again from my armchair, I just don't see what positive work is happening. It feels like there are not enough holes in the standard model that need plugging and no big theory trying to supplant it or handle gravity gaining ground.
You can go right around traffic

Don't do that.
Is it legal in Chile to show synthetic returns? If so, you could backtest your passive strategy and plot that on a chart along with the median mutual fund return. Heck, in South Africa only 18% of mutual funds beat the market over 5 years. Break the mutual fund returns down into returns before fees and returns after fees to show just how dramatic the effect is. With that single chart you can point to anyone, regardless of education, and say, ‘see that wedge, labeled fees? That’s what is financing your fund manager’s yacht.’
> “A very common category of failure of software applications is associated with failures that occur after programs get into states that the developers didn't anticipate, usually arising after many cycles.
In other words, programs can fail unexpectedly from accumulating state over a long lifespan of operation. Perhaps the most common example of this is a memory leak: the unanticipated growth of irreclaimable memory that ultimately concludes in a faulty application.

Somehow this sounds very expensive to me (like restarting Windows 2000 every hour just to avoid a BSoD, except that here it’s not that time consuming a process) and seems to leave aside caching, state management and other related requirements on the wayside for someone else to handle or recover from.

Or it’s likely that I’ve understood this wrong and that this can actually scale well for large, distributed apps of any kind. Sounds like magic if it’s that way.
This analysis is still missing something essential.

"Adult merchants are more likely to have chargebacks" is akin to saying "Blacks are more likely to commit violent crimes". In terms of overall statistics, it's factually true, but there's still something reprehensible about judging individuals this way.

When I was at kink.com (10 years ago), our chargeback rate was tiny - lower than most online businesses, and nowhere near yellow flag territory. Yet despite our long history of good citizenship, we were still lumped into the high-risk category. Visa rules only allow banks to process a certain percentage of their volume as "high-risk", so getting merchant accounts which could handle our payment volume was a major challenge.

We have the tools to judge individuals and businesses by actions, not as members of arbitrary groups. Sure some businesses may deserve some initial extra scrutiny, but at some point your history should speak for itself.
I recently spoke to someone at Broadcom who was moving networking processes from software to hardware using them, try looking into similar companies.
Perhaps. Still requires more discomfort and ritual than driving a car.
Now uses Docker so you just need to also use Docker to run your container, there is nothing special to do to run it in locally or offline since we don't require you an specific runtime or API. Just a normal HTTP server running inside a normal Docker container.
I sort of agree with you here, but I worry about pointing fingers in the wrong direction. Particularly, most of these forms of discrimination you've rightly pointed out function independently of online privacy.

Consider the authoritarian police reaction to people of color. That's not because they were googled. The problem is right there in the presence, in physical being. Cops don't bust people for appearing black on Facebook, but rather for appearing black while driving or walking in the park or something.

Unpopular political/social opinions aren't a matter of online privacy, generally. This is stuff that people post on Twitter, in public comments on Facebook, etc. If being an online racist blows up in someone's face, it's not because of Amazon or Wells Fargo; it's because they're shouting it in a public theater where anyone can see. (Hence the modern bigot's concern with "free speech" really meaning not that they can say what they want, but rather that no one judges them for what they say.)

Employment discrimination is widespread. And again, it's not about someone's online being, it's about their physical being. This is why so many startups are big young white dude sausage-fests. Like hires like. Are they discriminating? Sure. But not due to online privacy, but rather more pedestrian face-to-face matters.

I can go farther here, but hopefully my point is clear. When it comes to personal discrimination, that's usually a problem of person, not privacy, and tightening privacy settings offers little protection.
L1 Terminal Fault – The Latest Speculative Execution Side Channel Attack
Well, this is probably to find common ground between FaaS people and DevOps, haha.

Being a FaaS proponent, I still think this could be a good idea, because of the kinda standardized workings of Docker. I mean, AWS also uses Docker for local testing.

Congrats on the launch and good luck!!

Apparently not for Brasil yet, but definitely a product we need here. I would use something like it, but the only option in the space is a new startup (https://oiwarren.com/) with horrible UX (every form emulates a natural language chat bot, which makes muuuch longer to fill out simple fields that a regular <form> would take seconds).

Other than that, only brokers with very user-unfriendly online interfaces.

Easy, simple, wealth management is very much needed in here. I hope you do well enough in Chile to consider a expansion here.
Tyler Cowen is libertarian capitalism’s teddy bear.

His job (at Mercatus Center) appears to be precisely diverting attention from the economic damages of libertarian capitalism.

He is always limited to perseverance porn, capitalist worship, or otherwise discussion of extremely vague virtues like ‘ideas’, ‘innovation’, ‘integrity’.

When the audience is attentive, these tactics often backfire. I find his interviews cringeworthy.

Then there’s the Mercadus Center’s recent disasterous study on taxpayer cost of Bernie Sander’s ‘Medicare For All’ plan:

It takes more energy to accelerate a tennis ball to 80% of the speed of light (0.8c) than it takes to accelerate an electron to 80% the speed of light. It takes more energy to accelerate a tennis ball to 0.999c than an electron to 0.999c.

But the faster and faster you go, the more energy is required. As the number approaches 100%, the energy required for each tiny fractional step goes up exponentially, so much so that it is impossible to accelerate either object to 100% of the speed of light. It just requires more, and more, and more energy.
Yes, he did.
Ask HN - Are Dataless Apps the next big thing?
Serverless -> Dataless? Recently at a developer conference, someone from AWS came to talk to us about serverless apps. We joked that the next stage would be "dataless" apps. Apart from the joking, however, I thought there might actually be some truth here. If laws lead to taxing data as a liability, maybe a dataless app could be something like a bunch of neural networks per user where the data ephemerally comes in, contributes to training the network, then is deleted. All that remains are weights in the networks. Thoughts?
What I took from the article is that it was both, but that it started with paying back debts, and markets occured shortly because of that. So you get 100 shells for the debt of your daughter to a neighbour, now what will you do with these shells? Find stuff to buy.

To me it seems like it's almost instantaneous, but you could imagine that there would be a period of time where the 100 shells couldn't be traded, they were there to represent the debt of the bride, which would be paid pack like any debt.
The primary use of e-cigarettes/vapes is ingesting nicotine. Some people used e-cigarettes as a cessation aid. There are tons of young people who are growing up having never smoked cigarettes and who went directly to vaping. Their choice wasn't exactly "cigarettes or vape" it was "vape or not vape".

The Unlikely Activists Who Took on Silicon Valley – And Won
How often have you considered taking the money for a new Camry and applying to any of a plethora of defensive driving schools or track schools? My thinking is that those fancy airbags only do you any good if something sets them off.

But I am curious what progress you feel has been made in auto safety in the last ten years that is "staggering". By 2008, I think we got the low-hanging fruit:
1. ABS
2. Airbags
3. Side-curtain airbags
4. Sacrificial crumble zones

I do not consider lane keeping and automatic braking to be "staggering" progress, but incremental.

If a brand new Camry saves you from a single ER visit

That is the very definition of begging the question.
> inflation rate for 2018 has been lower than that of 2017

The inflation in 2017 was 25%. With a lot of luck in 2018 will be < 32%.
Even though he's convicted and incarcerated on other charges, Ross still has a right to a speedy trial, and charges have to be brought within a statute of limitations (five years in most cases, and although there are exceptions for murder and certain other crimes, I don't believe there was an actual murder here).

My guess is the clock ran out and the USAO decided their scare piece fulfilled its intended purpose. Always easier to get a conviction and maximum sentence against somebody when you can insinuate they did something even worse.
Card networks and our financial partners have restrictions on the types of businesses we can support: https://stripe.com/docs/atlas#cannot

Businesses are looked at individually, and you should totally start a new application if it's a new/different business (that's not on that list). You can always email us ahead of time (atlas@stripe.com) if you need any advice.

I'd also like to take a closer look at your first application. Could you email me at edwin@stripe.com?

Chile is a good starting point for us because it has a higher GDP per capita and is highly digitalized. There's a pending treaty called "Pasaporte de fondos" that would in theory allow us to serve people in Colombia, Mexico, and Peru without additional regulation.

About taxes, I think Chile is on the lower-burden side of Latin American countries, but I'm open to hear if you have deeper insights.

Are these intuitive to ride? I can ride a bike and a scooter but I’m not sure I want the first time I ride one of these to be in the Midtown Atlanta Traffic Thunderdome.

$1200 for a (nice) scooter that you can drive maybe 9/12 months.
$3500 for an (ok) car that you can drive 12/12 months.

For those on a budget/single vehicle household the answer is clear. However as a second vehicle, or third it could make more sense.
We have models which provide predictions about the signatures we would see in the detector if that model is true.

The "general search" doesn't target a particular model. The only model used is our Standard Model, treated as background. Traditional searches utilize one or more of many Beyond Standard Model (BSM) models to treat as potential signal.
Good Lord, it's frustrating to see so many people incapable of understanding such a simple thing.
Your list contains a large number of West European nations, which had the fortune of... being in West Europe. I.e., the fact that they are wealthy and free are more likely explained by past history, rather than one causing the other.

South Korea is an interesting case: it used to have a worse economy than NK, started rapid economic expansion while under a corrupt dictator, suffered through another, and could not really be called a "democratic" country until 90s. So maybe prosperity eventually causes democracy, but it's a slow process.
As always, worth remembering that the "murder for hire" scheme was a predicate in the conspiracy charge Ulbricht faced†; it was introduced at trial, Ulbricht was formally accused of it, and his defense had an obligation to refute it. People on message boards tend to believe that Ulbricht was never confronted with an actual charge that he tried to have someone killed, but was merely smeared with it during sentence. That is not the case.

The fact that Ulbricht has a locked-in life sentence on a charge that involved the murder-for-hire scheme makes a separate murder prosecution pointless. Had he actually succeeded in his plan to have someone killed, the trial would serve a purpose (for the family of the victim, at least). But he didn't.

Source: you can just read the indictment for the case he lost, which discusses the murder-for-hire scheme directly.
Is there a Docker makefile available for playing with SSD if you're not working in the domain?

I have some 100Ks of pix I'd like to put through classifiers but could never get YOLO2 properly working in a container, in part because even reading the code I couldn't figure out how to simply point a trained model at a directory of images and get classification out... :/

Definitely PEBKAC but if there are any dead-simple tutorials available I'd love a pointer–classification speed not a factor, it would all be CPU non-real-time and could be leisurely. Just interested in seeing what the state of the art is in classifying a personal image set without training against it..
People committing suicide in Seattle, jumping from the 99 bridge, led to at least one PTSD retirement from Adobe. People seemed not to want to land in the water, but on land, and the Adobe area was apparently an inviting target.

^^^ Yeah, there's a rinse/repeat pattern, all right. ^^^
> Somehow this sounds very expensive to me (like restarting Windows 2000 every hour just to avoid a BSoD, except that here it’s not that time consuming a process)

The crucial difference is that the activation cost of booting up a full OS (like Windows 2000) is massive (typically involving a chain-reaction of CPU and IO-intensive init services), whereas that is not the case for our serverless infrastructure.

What you do point out is one of the most important engineering challenges we had to solve (and continue to be focused on).
Now if you could just get rid of those pesky users, you might have something.
I'm confused about pricing. I come from using AWS Lambda, where you pay for the amount of memory allocated for your function, how many times it runs and how long each run is.

Looking at Now, it looks like you are billed by the 'plan' that you choose, and that decides how many deployment instances you are limited to. What does a deployment instance mean for something that is 'serverless'?

EDIT: Whoops, I see that there are 'on demand' prices for deployment instances too--now I just need to figure out how deployment instances map to serverless.
Right from the article:

“She put my hands onto her breasts, and was pressing herself — her buttocks — onto my crotch,” he said. “She was kissing me, kissing my hands, kissing my torso.” That evening, a similar scene played out again, he said.

He confronted her the next morning, he said.

“I said, look, what happened yesterday was not O.K. You’re my adviser,”

There there was a lot of police impropriety surrounding it does not mean the case has no merit.

It is quite possible for:

1. Billy to commit a crime.

2. The police to completely bungle their investigation.

3. Billy to be found not guilty, because of #2.

As a result:

The case against Billy has merit, because he actually did it (See #1). Also, he did it (See #1). But he should be found not guilty (See #2).

I mean, does anyone seriously dispute that Ross paid an undercover agent to murder someone? What's under dispute is whether or not the police behaved properly in this case (Which can sometimes be enough to throw out a conviction).

Bouldering/Climbing!

Love this sport. Everybody, whatever their level, does the same thing : Fail and try to outdo themselves.

It's difficult to go run with someone better than you, or play football because of the skills gap. I found that with climbing whatever your shape you can have the same kind of fun.

I also love the combination of body shape, technique, and thinking (how can I pass this, what does the route want me to do?). And because everybody is trying its hardest, I like that it creates group interaction on trying to solve a problem.
Except this is actually electric. (Which in fact does mean it has a motor although, to add to the confusion, motor is often used to mean engine :-) ) As a result, by analogy with motorcycle, I would assume a motor scooter had a gasoline engine.
