I like how you made this ultra-simple. It makes it very easy to understand and use. There are times when a python+json server isn't performant enough. To help with this, my team recently built a protocol for efficient model serving called GraphPipe[1] that allows you to do serving like this. There is an example for serving from python[1]. The easiest way to get started is to use the go server in a docker container[2].

Graves makes a (not unflattering) cameo appearance in Sassoon's novel Memoirs of an Infantry Officer as "Owen Cromlech". I believe Sassoon would have had a chance to read Goodbye to All That before he published the novel.
With a population of 1.3 billion people, India has a greater population than the combined total of the European Union (500m), Russia (144m), the United States (320m), Mexico (127m), Australia (24m), Canada (36m), NZ (3.6m). No wonder it can sustain it's own independent thriving film and television industries.
It's too late to edit, but that's exactly what I would go for.
> Everyone here actively despises the local film industry. We do not need to inflict Dutch television on the world. Thats torture.

I don't understand. Do the Dutch hate their own programmes? Why would they bother making shows they don't want to watch?

> if your culture is so great France and Germany you wouldn't need these subsidies.

I'm not sure they need them, just that it helps promote it. These shows might not necessarily be record-smashing-popular, but local film/TV from other countries routinely makes it's way to the US with sizable audiences (despite the US drowning in it's own media). Even childrens shows often have broad appeal. (as just a few examples, see 'Degrassi' from Canada, 'PJ Masks' and 'Miraculous' from France, 'Sarah and Duck' from Britain, 'Octonauts' from Ireland).

Some of those are funded in part from "cultural quotas" (various implementations of similar ideas) such as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_content . But it doesn't mean they aren't popular or good on their own.
Education is a tricky one. In general I tend to agree, but distributing the cost of a person's decision to get a 4 year degree in Photography, and then get a job at Starbucks they could've gotten without that degree, seems unjust and unwise. And who decides which schools lead to good outcomes? A lot of the "for profit" schools are only a little better than diploma mills.

Right, nothing new here. I was confused when I read the title, thinking "it was already distrusted, is there some further amount of distrust possible or is it groundhog day?"
more so than people who are just a different race or gender, from the same background? I doubt it. People from different backgrounds and life experiences would obviously be more likely to have different perspectives, but that's not really what affirmative action hires for - it hires for immutable characteristics like race and gender.

It's not understandable. That logic leads to dumbed-down, point-and-grunt products because the "telemetry" shows most users aren't power users.

Anyway, how much effort does it really take to maintain a text field on a bookmark entity?
Concurrency and Automatic Conflict Resolution – DEV Community ‍‍
My impression: For years it was common practice that when CAs messed something up it would cause some complains, but no real consequences. The large CAs thought they were "too big to fail". They thought it would just go on like that. They (and many others in the industry) didn't believe that Google was serious when they threatened with browser removal. When they realized Google was serious it was too late to change their course.
This is huge as it affects GeoTrust, RapidSSL, Thawte, and VeriSign.

I was aware of the Symantec issue and checked my own certs and didn't see their name, but skimming the article I noticed RapidSSL and thought I'd double check and sure enough my certs are about to become bogus.
No they don't. Those articles are referring to police ANPR cameras, not such cameras in general.
What I learned about weight loss from spending a day inside a metabolic chamber
Although for reasons of sanity there should be a balance between the two, I think having too little focus on the fundamentals can produce very very poor programmers if it all goes pear shaped.

In my opinion, a software engineer (or programmer, whatever) should be able to understand (Within reason, so maybe just understand the purpose of) an algorithm and - given enough time - implement it exactly as specified with maintainable fit-for-purpose code.

I'm right there with you, but the real trick educators have to pull is integrating coding into their content (math, science, history, language arts, etc.). These learn to code solutions teach as if there is no overlap with other subjects. I don't see this as the case.
Overfunding is an existential risk for startups. Scaling a team before finding PMF seems like a blunder in most circumstances.

Instead of setting your best engineers to work creating the best product, they're busy recruiting and dealing with company growing pains from the get-go. The mythical man-month and scarcity of great people combine to diminish your returns on this hiring. Furthermore, battleships don't turn on a dime, and you may be hiring a lot of irrelevant expertise if you have to pivot later. This is why Stripe took 6 months to hire its first 2 people.

Furthermore, huge funding means investors are looking for a huge returns. A $1b sale is now failure?? My gut says this "go big or go bankrupt" pressure encourages tunnel vision among leadership rather than innovation.

Essential Products was overfunded in late 2015 and is already up for sale. I think Magic Leap and Desktop Metal will end up as similar cautionary tales.

I see good arguments for overfunding if (1) there's huge capital costs for development and high probability of large exit regardless of technology success (e.g. biotech) or (2) you're trying to capture a market with a strong network effect. The second case seems dangerous though, e.g. is Uber's popularity really a moat? What if they had spent their billions on developing a product with a real technological advantage instead of scaling to the world first?

As a huge fan of his book, I'm sad to see Steve Blank largely ignore these ideas in his article.
Does it result in the error for you too? Maybe it's related to that, otherwise it's really suspicious.
Potentially millions, which would really mess with the Mars Bar standard.

I think the core problem here is (lack of) consulting dollars.

The Agile movement got huge in part because a lot of its proponents could make good money promoting it. E.g., the MLM scheme that is Scrum certification. Or the many consultants, some good and some bad, who made bank teaching it to people. (I did that for a while.) This was also the death of what I think of as "real Agile" because the great bulk of consulting money on offer was selling watered-down Scrum to giant companies who wanted the feeling of change without hard work or actual change.

But there's no money in startup consulting. Startups don't have much money, and startup founders a) think they know things better than everybody else, and b) think they can ignore most of what matters to other businesses. (I'm a former startup founder, so that's not knocking anybody; it's just what's required by circumstance.) I know people who have started great startup-focused consulting businesses, and they've all gone elsewhere because it's impossible to make a living doing it.

From what I know of Ries's consulting it was at places like GE [1]. GE is definitely not a startup, but really wanted to be innovative and presumably paid him a bundle. And now he's moved on to the Long Term Stock Exchange. [2] This all strikes me as reasonable. He did his bit and set the ideas free into the world. Although I'd love it if he spent more time promoting the Lean Startup approach, I totally get why he's focused on doing what he wants, not what I want.

As an aside, for those still interested in discussing the topic, Lean Startup Circle still exists and still has an active mailing list. I'd love to see more people there: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/lean-startup-circle

Time and priorities. They didn't have the time until now as their priorities were elsewhere (as they should have been, they were building tools for their own use cases).

You can argue until the heat death of the universe about wether those priorities were chosen wisely, but it's irrelevant now. They built the tools for themselves focusing on what they found to be most important at the time. It's clearly worked out well enough for them and many of us like how Go turned out despite its short comings.
Google Patents Public Data – Kaggle
Nice. I'm glad Google is making it easier to find public data sets. I wish that these could be filtered by format, so that you could narrow them to CSV, XML, JSON, KML, etc.

Another nice resource that I've used in the past is 'toddmotto/public-apis' on Github [0].

In the end I would prefer all public data sets to be available over the DAT protocol [1] instead of being hosted only on government or organization websites. A lot of climate data previously made available by the EPA was taken down, and only saved by efforts of volunteers.[2]

I have anhedonia, but I've accepted that when I find something fun that'll go away. It's a symptom of the low-level depression that comes and goes

The ancients had a saying: A sound mind in a sound body.

I think lack of enjoyment is often due to lack of energy, plus unrecognized health issues. There is a lot of research linking depression to diet and brain inflammation. Off the top of my head, a Mediterranean Diet is sometimes shown as correlating to less brain inflammation and less depression. The olive oil used in it is thought to be one of the reasons.

So on top of the fasting and exercise, consider looking at research of that ilk, start a food and health journal and carefully experiment with diet to see if anything clicks.

Best.
I agree, but you can do context switchs also without having comments. For instance, the JSON Schema defines (Source: https://json-schema.org/latest/json-schema-core.html#rfc.sec...)

{
'$comment': "string that can hold whatever you want"
}

and it is obvious that you can embed any other language in a string.
I'm surprised how cheap a branch mispredict is. I had thought the relatively long pipelines in modern processors would have made that more painful. It seems weird Intel devotes so much silicon to improving the branch predictor when the penalty is so light.

I would go so far as to argue that they in fact do desire the ill-education of the remainder of the populations' children (at least, on some unconscious level) as an advantage given to everyone is no advantage at all, and one's success is always measured in relation to another lack thereof. The two cannot be disentwined.

My issue is that no child asks to be born. And that alone charges and commands us with a certain responsibility to insure that, upon reaching adulthood, or thereabouts, they are capable of exercising themselves in the world to the best of their ability, not that everything need be given, but that enough be given that they can ensure their own attempts to access their own desires. And I will say, that this stands doubly important in a democratic society, where they will grow to have just as much power and say so, in theory, as any other member of such a society. And to allow such a bifurcation in the fundamental educational strata, creates a two-classes society which, it would seem to me, most likely to gravitate toward either a set of demagogues ruling over such a body and turning their ignorance to their own despotic ends, or the return to a state of affairs whence it was considered acceptable and proper for only a certain segment the population, defined by money, or land, or familial prestige, who through these means were the rare few to have access to a said liberal education, are considered once again the natural rulers of the lives of the greater mass of people.

Nothing except cost. If employees cost more than developing and implementing AI, then they will do it.

In preparation for the move to a totally AI driven customer interface (which WILL happen, barring any large scale disaster), legislators needs to implement some solution to keep currency flowing to the people.

If everything except highly skilled professions are automated, there will be a hell of a lot unemployment. Off the top of my head, one potential solution I've heard is that companies should pay wages to robots and those wages will be paid as tax to the government who would redistribute the wealth as universal basic income.

We're surely decades or more from near total automation, but it's worth thinking about as a serious matter as we are living in the robot revolution.
I always find it weird when folks say Netflix sucks outside the US. Much of the library in the US feels like a mish-mash of old television and b-grade movies. When I'm in the UK, I have access to new episodes of television. Shows that you have to pay for on a per-episode, or per-studio basis in the US (Star Trek Discovery; The Good Place) were available in the UK on Netflix just after they aired in the US.
> Also the EU wants Netflix to offer the same content anywhere

Literally the only way to do that would be for Netflix to take down movies for which they haven't secured the rights in every EU country. That'd mean they have to drop a massive chunk of their catalog, because media rights are sold piecemeal, so there are very few things for which they have distribution rights in every EU country[0].

[0] Ironically, this includes Netflix originals.
I'm not sure it's entirely wrong when you have a heavyweight like the US/Hollywood that dominates the global entertainment industry. I don't know about you but the content coming out of Hollywood is depressingly dumb. This may be a hamfisted attempt at addressing that but the problem remains. The loudest voice in the room is US/Hollywood. Entertainment is often our "first contact" with ideas beyond our normal areas of expertise and if you entrust that to Hollywood, you're going to have a lot of misinformed people. I mean just look at how computer scientists and engineers are portrayed in Hollywood... if I had my choice I wouldn't want Hollywood portraying/writing about me and my peers.

If you want to use the Arduino ecosystem that is, ESP32 and ESP8266 don't have anything to do with Arduino.

The Arduino core has been ported to ESP8266, but IMO that's a completely unnecessary level of indirection. Learn how to program the hardware. ESPs documentation is top notch, and C/++, Python and Lua can all be used.

Especially the dual-core nature of the ESP32 is not really compatible with the Arduino way of thinking.

Just my opinion.
Bootstrap does not promise that these math teachers are now proficient coders, but they do walk the teachers through the entire curriculum from start to finish. The teachers act as the students so they get a feeling of what is being asked of the kids. This curriculum is like 25 hours long. Most math teachers use one day a week to work on coding. So I wouldn't call this program CS in the classic sense. Rather it is a brief introduction to coding and how it relates to algebra.
I guess what I meant is: I agree strongly with the comment I replied to, and also feel like this sort of action is less frequently concerned with lifting up workers than it is with punishing their bosses.
Yes, of course. The kicker from what I see is that every year the robot technology gets better and better. The truth is that most of these warehouse jobs are eventually going to get automated away. So that leaves the question...who will employ these workers? Our system of employee retraining (government education) isn't exactly efficient nor is is cheap.
That is less than 10 movies and Wir kinder.. is old enough that my mother saw it in the cinema as a youngster. You might find a few more, but "Der Untergang" is on Netflix, not because they were required to, but because it is good.

- The presentation should have to be up to 2018 standards, e.g. not like Project Gutemberg or some relic from the past. Nice photos and illustrations, quotes, etc.

- Leverage the hits: e.g. Joe Nesbo has had his books made into major movies, Uberto Eco is famous worldwide, European TV series have been remade for the US market (e.g. Forbrydelsen -> The Killing), people know Fry and Laurie, and so on. One could promote those works at the first level, point to the originals, and then expand the recommendations of other works by the same authors, and then of similar authors and directors.

- Hijack on the popularity of certain themes in general (even Hollywood-inspired) culture. E.g. the recent remake of "Murder on the Orient Express" (not the best example popularity-wise, but will do for now), could be leveraged to promote works by Agatha Christi(and expand to more European crime fiction writers).

- Build the recommendation engine with a knowledge of mainstream/US/best-selling content as well -- not to promote it, but to let someone say e.g. "I enjoy John Grisham, what EU stuff should I read" and have the system recommended the relevant authors. Or "I enjoy this and this mainstream US comic" and they get a recommendation for some French graphic novel, for example.

- Excerpts and quotes from the works could be used in campaigns in places like Twitter, Pinterest, Facebook, etc to hook people in.

- It could start by building critical mass by appealing to and connecting the European and american more intellectual audiences who already consume these works in some kind of social media for smarties.

- Play into the "hipster" aspect of it, e.g. embrace smart/multi-cultural/open ended, as something cool to be (in an advertising perspective).

- Have content made by featured authors and directors directly for the website,

Some ideas from the top of my head
If NASA is really serious about people living on Mars, I would think that they should build a rotating space station with Mars level of pseudo-gravity. Two decent sized chambers connected by a tether might be the easiest to build. If one really wants to see if something complicated will work on Mars, running it in Martian G, is the only way to be sure.

Long term studies in the current space station seem to suggest that humans can't live years at zero G without serious health problems developing. It would useful to try out Mars gravity (38% of Earth's) somewhat closer to Earth than the surface of Mars.
Just like in the wifi band... oh, wait.

I'm not saying that radio use can't be regulated. I'm saying that FCC is the worst possible organization that could be imagined to do that regulation. To understand that, simply compare Europe to USA.
So there's no more room for improvement at the microchip level. Will software become leaner? Is Moore's law reaching a plateau?
The problem with this line of thinking is that it will pretty much never be cost-efficient to make a German language movie with a limited market compared to a English movie. No matter how great it is. It is even worse for smaller countries like Finland or Netherlands. There will NEVER be comparable ratings for a Dutch comedy show vs Modern Family with a global audience. So unless regulated, investments will shift to the lowest common denominator, ie. English.
In this case it's the "old HN shuffle" of not having off-topic stories, as I explained here:

I'd think Seattle would not be my first choice for a city with a lot of Sunshine. Something in California would be better, especially SoCal. (I think the Silicon Valley area gets plenty of sun too, the Bay Area can be quite cloudy)
I think you could not be more incorrect about this. The FCC does sponsor efforts to make sure that less developed areas are getting broadband. However, I would argue that this is similar to electrification programs a century ago, and is more about access than equality.

From my experience, Americans care very much about what speed and reliability is available within their neighborhood. They care very little about access outside of their neighborhood.
