Machine Learning – in Terms of Linear Algebra, Probability and Calculus
Are you being as pedantic as to ask for "through an area"? Because that's literally the defined relationship between current and charge.
I disagree. They didn’t do anything except open up the grant application part to everyone (no cost to them) and promise everybody that they would get some credits (probably no cost to them). The course was always able to be audited.

What this really does is make clear the desire of the people at ycombinator to open their pre screening program (which is what startup school is, essentially) to more startups. The value to them is clear - they now get more companies that have an initial touchpoint with ycombinator, and they can maybe make money off them or whatever. But they don’t have to scale the thing that was most useful about startup school - that is, the advisors and small groups. For ycombinator this actually is a win win - they can now phase out advisors next round if this is a success and then the course would be very simple to run (and mostly free to create!).

The value that they were really providing (advisors, small groups) doesn’t scale for a free program, and with this new method of acceptance they aren’t offering that value to the newly “accepted” startups. For me personally, If I wanted to independently learn the things they teach in startup school, I already had the ability to watch last years lectures and read last years course material.

If there are credits, that will be valuable I suppose. But, again, I want to emphasize that ycombinator isn’t giving startups anything of real value here that it wasn’t already giving away (except, I guess, the ability to save face if you had already excitedly told friends that you were in this program).

According to [1], RRAM is a form of memristor*. You can buy these at DigiKey [2]. However, I can't really think of a practical application. It's about 10x slower than (P)SRAM.

> Leon Chua argued that all two-terminal non-volatile memory devices including ReRAM should be considered memristors. Stan Williams of HP Labs also argued that ReRAM was a memristor. However, others challenged this terminology and the applicability of memristor theory to any physically realizable device is open to question. Whether redox-based resistively switching elements (ReRAM) are covered by the current memristor theory is disputed.
Really miss the early image-blog days of Tumblr, the reblog functionality causing work to be attributed and sort of collective consciousness made it a fascinating internet art site to browse and contribute to.

Pretty much all been replaced by Instagram now which although has most of the same functionality the fact it's a locked in system with only the most basic form of linking and attribution makes it a completely different place for artists. People stealing work and claiming it's their own is a lot more common on IG, on Tumblr the ease of re-blogging and focus on curating allows users to flourish as either curators or creators without any bad blood between the two.

(Purely talking about the art side of Tumblr here, I wasn't involved in the other areas)
The discussion is usually about opioids where the US is an outlier. For benzos I can't seem to find a good comparison, but this statistic stands out:

"In 2008, approximately 5.2% of US adults aged 18 to 80 years used benzodiazepines." [1]

Here "used" means filled at least one prescription during the year. This to me looks like an extremely high number, but I can't find a good number for comparable countries. I'd be very surpised if the rest of the OECD had a figure of even 1%

> since there's more melee creeps in a wave, the buff is worth more

This is true - but not the whole story. Since ranged creeps do significantly more damage taking the ranged rax means that your lane still pushes a bit and importantly it accumulates ranged creeps as it goes along. So if the lane is left, when it hits their base it will do hella damage to buildings if they don't address it. (Bonus melee supers would last longer and do more base damage over their lifespan - but what you want is damage in the time it takes them to TP).

There used to be a game along those lines, back in '92 on the Amiga, called "Global Effect". I doubt it got the physical foundations, though my hazy memory is the concepts were there simplistically.

DRM is fundamentally proprietary. Just because the container around it is defined in a standard does not in any way discourage the creation of proprietary systems -- it by definition facilitates them (and therefore appeases corporations that produce DRM content).

The whole "DRM will happen one way or another, EME is better" is only an acceptable argument if you don't have an issue with DRM (because then you can argue that EME is "nicer" than non-EME because EME is a "standard form" of DRM).

Making it frustrating for people to access DRM content results in a distrust of DRM vendors and a general dislike of DRM -- which is (in my view) a positive outcome. Facilitating DRM in a way that makes it much easier for people to view it is not a neutral position in a world where "DRM is inevitable".

Dynamic Django Models with Model Models
I guess in an ocean full of heavier (than most if not all common plastics) sediments and naturally occurring materials the plastic would find it's way to the top (from floating or being just below the surface. It would probably only sink if it was a significant chunk of plastic or something closed with a cap and/or is heavy enough to guarantee sinking.

Maybe there could be some way to help sift things out more quickly? Something the regular beach cleaning / beautification staff could / would do without it adding an entirely new and extenuating task to their work days. My immediate thought was some sort of netting but as you said lots of the microplastics are invisible to the naked eye unless you realllly get down there. That type of net, beyond how expensive it would be having it cover any sort of significant percentage of US / World Beaches, would be pretty much only a nightmare for the majority of sea creatures of all sorts.

The big nets seem good to keep sharks and other nefarious / dangerous sea going animals that could harm humans because the nets are large enough to allow everything BUT those big baddies through. This would be the exact opposite which means literally everything that lives or occasionally travels toward the ocean's coastal areas would be in danger.

What I really want to see is somebody compile, with video, image, audio, and in person interviews with people with first hand accounts / stakes in the ocean's health / stakes in the world's health all of the different types of things like microplastics in the water / on the earth, ice caps melting and the fallout from that, any other evidence about how fast global warming is happening, what types of damage has already happened due to that global warming and obvious water level rise? I think if the average American / Human Earthling saw a video with a large collection of different real life scenarios that are already playing out / have already played out and have a serious, dangerous, and lasting effect on the planet and/or these people's lives / livelihood.
I agree. Factorio pollution only really matters early game pre-military science even on death worlds.

Learn to accept it. Only way to stop scrapers is to make it a financial burden for them to scrape your website. There are to many ip address, proxy, vpn, and botnets for you to try and block them all. You can write code to try and tell legit traffic from scrapers traffic but then they will just figure out how to bypass that through trial and error. You can try to take legal action, but that will cost you money up front and might take longer then you think. You can try to get there service terminated, but most host won't do it without a court order. You can make you html/css hell to read randomize autogen all your class and id tags. Put all you elements in random order so the people writing the scraping code don't have a default template they can update in minutes. Use javascript to actually send the data which then you use to identify people and have a call home function so they cannot hide behind proxies and vpn and such.

These are all just things that will slow them down, but won't stop them. Make it cost them more money then they make using your data will be the only way to truly stop them.
Yes when it needs tweaking on every update and repeatedly fails. It's obnoxious. It was immature technology in my personal experience. Maybe others have had a better experience but I was turned off by numerous issues.
The stranger memorizing the license plate from a single announcement on the radio and then finding that car on the street to deliver news of a sick kid is a fantastic story.

It's hard to imagine for someone brought up in the age of the information overload just how starved people were back then for entertainment and news. I remember the anxiety with which I waited a whole week for my favorite (and only) cartoon I could watch on the national television (the only TV station available). It was a Japanese show called Spaceship Sagittarius and the episodes are forever burned into my memory down to the planet names the protagonists were visiting, minor characters and plot twists. Back in the 50s, I could imagine thousands of people memorizing a license plate announced on the radio, and the story of the SOSes becoming talking subjects in the local pub.

> After that, the idea of being constant time gradually disappears.

It does make a come back for combs (considering that fixed point multiplication is used to process secrets). The very last words of the article are "constant time".

> Ironically, (if I recall correctly) EdDSA was seen as an improvement over EcDsa partially because it is easier to avoid timing side-channel attacks.

It is. It's just that EdDSA verification doesn't need to be constant time at all. That's why sliding windows are so useful. Signatures and public key generation do need to be constant time, so I haven't mentioned sliding combs.

On topic, a great programming book other HN readers might like is Mazes for Programmers by Jamis Buck (http://www.mazesforprogrammers.com/

It's brilliant: very clearly explained, you can recreate source by reading the description in text which I find is the rarest of rare items in books about algorithms. Source is in Ruby, is very minimal and clearly written and is easily portable to other languages (I have to C++ and Delphi, and github contains many repos in other languages too.)

It's rare that I read a programming book I rave about, but I do rave about this one - as you can all tell :)

EMUI gets turbo mode
Today Huawei rolls out an update for EMUI which introduces a ‘turbo’ mode for the GPU building on the already stunning capabilities of the onboard Kirin chip. System update suggests enabling turbo mode for use in gaming within the new Game Suite app.
The modding community definitely has a very good idea of how the game actually works, and there is a fair amount of documentation to that effect. The Forge sources are also pretty enlightening.
Trump’s voter base would champion those actions, it’s not like it’s unknown that he’s a scumbag developer that takes every effort to cheat everyone he deals with. But the important thing is that they believe he’s on their team or one of their tribe, which allows him a lot of leeway in his behavior compared to someone on the other team or tribe, for whom even a minor indiscretion is unacceptable.

Similar mechanisms are at work when a popular athlete is caught doing something, or priests, etc. Once someone’s ego becomes invested in you, you can more easily take advantage of them and that’s an important thing to learn (and wield for yourself).
It also has a very interesting property as an adjective, and that is it’s impossible to use the word, dynamic, in a pejorative sense. [...] It’s impossible.

Recent developments in machine learning and algorithmic decision making have brought about something that might well be called dynamic racism, which it seems Bellman had not anticipated.

It's way more likely that Google was targeting Amazon with Kubernetes. AWS is the leading cloud providing and commoditizing cloud computing with containers would level the playing field and maybe even tilt it towards the creator for the tool.

It seems to have worked, at least a bit, since Kubernetes has gained adoption. AWS is still ahead, though.

Writing helps.

IMHO, doing a little to pick up trash in your local community--parks, rivers, waterways, lakes, beaches--goes a long way, not only for cosmetic reasons, but also to raise awareness.

My sincere belief is that cleaning the trash out of the Earth is something that everyone can get behind and is a monumental task that absolutely must be crowdsourced. The millions of tons of trash out there can really only be picked up and cleaned out by...millions of people.

We must ban plastics worldwide, we must recycle, and we must introduce proper waste management into areas where it is lacking, but we can't wait. Go pick some up!
Isn't wordpress more the technology? Or do you mean otherwise?

> There are also genuine people trying to look out for local communities that rely on the coal.

And there were genuine people trying to look out for communities that relied on asbestos mining, on lead paint factories, on DDT production plants and a million other examples.

Yes, lots of people will lose their existing job when we stop burning so much coal, but that's a good thing. We need to move forward, we need to do better than we're doing now.

We can't stop making things better because we want everyone to remain employed in the same industry they are now!
The most "clearly stated" is I think the following:

> Art. 7, paragraph 3: "It shall be as easy to withdraw as to give consent."

Although it sounds like this is about withdrawing previously given consent, not rejecting the request for consent at all.

> Recital 32: "If the data subject’s consent is to be given following a request by electronic means, the request must be clear, concise and not unnecessarily disruptive to the use of the service for which it is provided."

Perhaps it could be argued that having to click through multiple menus to reject the request is not concise and is disruptive to the use of the service?

> Recital 42: "In accordance with Council Directive 93/13/EEC a declaration of consent pre-formulated by the controller should be provided in an intelligible and easily accessible form, using clear and plain language and it should not contain unfair terms."

Again, I'd argue that having to click through multiple menus isn't exactly "easily accessible form".
It is however random generated, so you cannot expect the same output from the same input.

(Note:I am not a lawyer.) If you're a US citizen, any content that you've created yourself is -automatically- copyrighted. (That's also true in all countries where Berne Convention standards apply.) See this link for further basics:
https://smallbusiness.findlaw.com/intellectual-property/what...

If they're scraping content you created, they have already broken the copyright law. (They may not realize that. Make sure they do.)

Since 1989, in Berne countries you don't even have to post copyright notice for them to be in violation. So your first step would be to notify them that they've already broken the law, and invite them to cut it out.

Your second step would be to contact a lawyer.If the other site is not in a Berne country, that might complicate things. On the other hand, they may simply not be aware that they've broken the law.

for some reason (hihi), all those computers are Windows PCs.
Mostly, we're used to defining tolower() and toupper() to return either a lower or upper case variant if one exists, otherwise you get back what you put in. For most Unicode codepoints no such variants exist and so you just get back whatever you fed in. Some of the alphabets have uppercase/ lowercase, but obviously most writing systems don't do this.

However, lower(upper(X)) is not defined to be the same as lower(X), and there's no promise that meddling with a string transforming with lower() or upper() does what you hoped because that isn't how language actually works (e.g. in English the case sometimes marks proper nouns so "May" is the Prime Minister of the UK, but "may" is just an auxiliary verb).

Where standards tell you something is case-insensitive, but it's also allowed to be Unicode rather than ASCII, you can and probably should "case crush" it with tolower() and then never worry about this problem. In a few places you have to be careful because a standard says something in particular is case-insensitive, but not everything that goes in that slot is case-insensitive. For example MIME content type names like "text/plain", "TEXT/PLAIN" and "Text/Plain" are case-insensitive, but

multipart/mixed; boundary="ABCDEFGHIJKL"
multipart/mixed; boundary="abcdefghijkl"
multipart/mixed; boundary="AbcDefGhiJkl"

... declare three different boundary tokens, and none of them matches the sequence abCdeFghIjkL.

There is no evidence of who lost money, and it very well could have been taxpayers through the various bailouts. There is also a significant societal loss when trust is no long assumed in transactions. In the US, you are fortunate that you can trust the money you get is not counterfeit, the documents you sign are legal and have force in court, the court’s officers are not bribeable, etc.

But if you start chipping away at this trust, it’s 10x harder to earn it back, and in my opinion, once it reaches a tipping point, enough people figure out its every man for himself and gaming the system snowballs irreversibly.

Then you have a system like many poor countries, where you have no idea when you could be dragged into court and bled dry because someone disputes your claims and you don’t have the political (bribes/connections) clout to defend yourself.
