Everyone is reading the same thing on reddit, just different combinations of the same thing.

this is categorically untrue, you don't seem to understand reddit.

Reddit is just a combination of multiple newspapers masquerading as a single custom newspaper.

that is exactly the anachronistic thinking that leads you down this path.

its movable type vs wordpress all over again. wordpress won.

the engineering constraint of pre-calculating caches is worse, in the long run, than the occasional outage for casual/non-logged-in users. its optimizing for the wrong audience, it is a long slow path to failure.

Sell short and buy a corresponding (shares short / 100) number of call options at $420 strike (which, in theory, if Musk were telling the truth, should essentially be worthless but in practice will come with some amount of premium). That way you have a guaranteed exit at $420/share + option premium paid. You could reduce your option premium cost while slightly increasing your max loss if you went with $430 calls or whatever.
I initially used to think China might have more leverage against any potential trade war agains the US, as:

1. The Chinese had option of imposing high tariffs on politically significant US agricultural products, like soyabean, which are not very large in $ value, but affect a lot of areas.

2. Since some swing states are highly influential in US elections, the Chinese always had the option of imposing tariffs which impact the swing states mostly.

Both of these thoughts arose from the fact that as a democratic country, the US would have to take into account both short and long term trade prospects.
Now reading this article, it seems being a predominantly export driven economy and having a huge trade surplus with the US, the Chinese don't really have that much leverage.
Not base 2. All palindromes in base 2 have a 1 in the last position, because there's a 1 in the first position. This means that any addition of 3 palindromes must be odd because the result of the addition is guaranteed a 1 in the ones position, meaning even numbers can't possibly be represented that way. This is discussed in the original paper at the bottom of the second page: https://arxiv.org/pdf/1602.06208.pdf , which I've expanded out a bit since they just mention the evenness without the argument I give. They say base 2 needs at least 4 summands, but their phrasing suggests to me that's intended as a lower bound, not that they have a proof 4 is always sufficient. (Not to mention it would have to be more complicated than that anyhow since it would have to be something like "3 for odd and 4 for even above some threshold", or some other bounds.)

Mastering the Learning Rate to Speed Up Deep Learning
Are you the author?

I will give you the benefit of Hanlon's razor and read the article.
That was a great piece, very insightful and enlightening!
I believe it bothers most people once they become aware of what is stored, how it's used and can be used against them. They are not aware of that though and when you tell them about it they have a hard time believing. And I don't think media cares that much, I don't know why it seems to you that it does. Media is often complicit with all that spying too.
Sounds interesting enough that you might get users by blogging about it / pr etc rather than paid advertising?

Google did such a good job implementating Java that to this day there are still compatibility issues with standard Java, the library is incomplete and not all features of a standard JVM are available in ART.

They just broke Java the same way as Microsoft tried first, but since its the "Do no evil" company it gets a free pass.

Had it been other company and the Google support team would have another opinion.

I care about companies that care about Java, not those that fork the eco-system.

There are several companies playing by the rules, selling JVM implementations since the Sun days, none of them ever had issues either with Sun or Oracle.

I've been working recently on something semi-similar for runners - calculating elevation gain, difficulty, route generation, etc. First time around I was using Mapbox API but ran into some difficulties and have since switch to Google Maps which still isn't exactly what I'm looking for.

I'm curious - supposing HN had the power to decide, would you replace Elon Musk as CEO of Tesla? What kind of future does the company have without its founder?

Personally, I think I would be much more confident in Tesla, and much more likely to buy a Tesla product, if he were not in charge.

Also, you more or less need the binary blob with the license agreement that forbids use on non-Pi boards in order to boot that chip. It runs on an undocumented CPU architecture and initializes a whole bunch of undocumented but essential hardware. There's an open source replacement which is just barely capable of booting Linux and giving a serial console, but the developers basically gave up and recommended people use something like one of the Allwinner chips instead.
The toxic stuff is a relatively small percentage though. If you look at Reddit's top subreddits by subscribers (http://redditlist.com/all/), the biggest subs are by far dominated by general interest stuff -- humor, AMAs, gaming, cute, music, general knowledge stuff. From what I see, you have to go all the way down to #148 r/ImGoingToHellForThis -- a sub that has like, what, 3-4% of the subscribers that r/funny has -- to find the first sub that's in "that direction" (shock / tasteless / un-PC humor in this case, which occasionally veers into toxic territory). Many of the hate communities listed in r/AgainstHateSubreddits/ are very, very tiny, eg 1000-2000 people only.

I think Reddit is going to get more moderate over time, though. They are owned by a big mass media company after all (Advance Publications) and are advertiser driven in nature. I don't think many companies would want to advertise anywhere near a hate community -- most likely even r/ImGoingToHellForThis is too much. I'm sure Reddit also wants to avoid negative publicity, and hate communities and other toxic subreddits can generate oversized amounts of it (as happened during the 2015 "user revolt" where it seems like all you heard about Reddit in the news were communities like r/fatpeoplehate).

Currently Reddit tends to quarantine, delist, and de-advertise toxic communities that don't violate their rules. That might be enough -- the volume of news articles on toxic sub-reddits is nowhere near what they were during the 2015 "user revolt". But if it's not, I'm sure pressure will come to crack down further, as is happening on other big advertiser-driven social media platforms.
The issue is that an extremely sensitive negotiation (interviewing and hiring process) is utterly disrupted by their presence, so nobody is in a good position to legally challenge them. If almost ANY non compete is in place, the potential employer is highly likely to make the decision not to bother with the candidate. Proving that it was because of the noncompete is difficult (making it difficult to prove real damages).

They would almost certainly fall apart in court, but the systems they disrupt don’t survive long enough to move them into court.
- Two main clients did not pay bills on time, causing me to run out of runway. Getting them to pay became the single most important issue, and after they finally did, I was stuck with a 2.5 month backlog, two important clients who couldn't be trusted to pay on time, and a broken spirit.

- Created a b2b app, spend too much time on making it work great, not nearly enough time/effort on marketing it. Found that the people who could understand the technical superiority were not our target market, but just people who estimate technical superiority from marketing. Couldn't and wouldn't compete on that. Then we landed a big client who paid us handsomely to lose our focus and turned us into a non-scalable consultancy business which we sold for an almost symbolic value.

- Used networking to get together a team of 5 researchers/engineers in a hot field. Found funding prospects, but only on the condition that they pay us (slightly below market average), but the equity would be in the single digits (even for me). So this blew up, and a few months later the most promising researchers got jobs at FAMG. I think most $$ potential was lost here (would have been an easy acqui-hire).

Learned:

- The cheaper the price, the cheaper the customers. I took pride in offering great customer service, but spend hours looking into issues for 15$ accounts (would have been cheaper to fire them).

- The smaller the startup, the lower you are prioritized come pay-day. Would be more aggressive in collections/SLA.

- It is not how good your product is, it is how much people are willing to spend for it (how good they perceive it to be). Non-technical people are easier convinced by a sales call, than an impressive demo.

- Learned how to deal with financial stress and to keep a good sleep/workout schedule, else my output drops way too low.

- 15% equity of 0$ is 0$, but you also can't expect the really good people to work for your startup without any potential upside or throwing them a bone. Strike while the iron is hot.

The difference in general between EU and USA: in the EU it's seen as a good thing to protect people even when they don't understand why. In the USA, excluding weird outliers like "careful, fresh coffee is hot" it's not.

It's better to think of the node runners as the "coin voters" for anything democratic. Look at the Bitcoin vs Bitcoin Cash split for instance.

Participants of modern mining pools for all coins are arguably just in it for the money (and likely have subsidized or below average electricity rates).

Proof of work isn't a democratic process at all. The "math problem" that the miners are solving is providing a hash of the next published block of transactions (plus some other things). The protocol doesn't check every miner's solution and democratically choose the correct set of transactions to publish based on consensus. Instead, it's a lottery - it's just that it isn't economically cost effective to "buy lottery tickets" that attempt to publish an essentially alternate "history" to the blockchain.

There are multiple ways to buy beer using cryptocurrency - physical debit cards that draw from a deposited cryptocurrency balance at time of purchase using the current exchange rate, for instance. Kind of like how it works when you use your EU debit card to pay for a beer in the US using euros.

He's seeking just a mere $75k in damages.. there's no reason for Elon to not just pay that and move on, given lawyers would cost more. This frankly looks like Unsworth looking for a modest handout, betting that Musk wouldn't spend more money trying to prove he is in fact a pedo. On a totally unrelated note, how many child prostitutes could you buy with $75k? Just randomly curious.

You pretty much got it: you enjoying a coke, driving the new car, you and your significant trading engagement rings, you in a film trailer interacting with the film's stars... The personalization can be anything from simple ads to political messaging. The trick is getting a major brand to want to do such a project. It's a completely new idea, and that requires more than a few people sticking their necks out and taking some risk. My experience has led me to believe the advertising agencies really need strong assurances to take the risk of doing personalized advertising. Consumers are used to feature film quality VFX, meaning their eyes are moderately sophisticated when looking at digital characters. The production quality required will require investment and iteration to get the personalization production pipeline correctly generating likenesses of real people that "pass" and do not look like a cheap gimmick. To date, every potential agency and production partnership I was able to begin to piece together became a no-go due to one or the other wanting to go cheap or do porn. Neither of which really work, economically or financially.

Don't see how that's a contradiction, assuming that they actually use those features.

Yeah, for example to check if a number is divisible by 3, we can use the digit sum and check if the result is divisible by 3, e.g. 153=(1)+(5)+(3)=9.
This works in base-10, but we can generalize this by converting the dividend X into (3* X+1)-base then doing a digit sum.
Let's say we want to check whether 238 is divisible by 17, so our base is 3* 17+1=52, 238 in base-52 is (4)+(30)=34=2* 17.
If the convert-to-arbitrary-base operation was particularly cheap to compute, we could convert to base X+1 and check if the last number is 0 (same logic as: is_even = (i & 1) == 0) :)
To be fair, I said don't swerve for a squirrel. History is filled with examples of people giving up their own life for a squirrel/cat/dog because they swerved and lost control. You should have planned in advance what your threshold is for swerving. E.g. just brakes for anything <= white-tailed deer, and active avoidance w/braking for anything bigger, or human.

Elaine is not a great example because not only did the car choose not to swerve, it also chose not to even try to brake. And on top of that, a human would have seen her from a lot farther away.
Again, this paper does not support what you're saying it does at all. You are either misreading or intentionally distorting what it says.

1) Patients had a baseline cholesterol of 106 mg/dL. So already pretty good control of lipids. This implies they were already on intensive statin therapy, and so the effect of PCSK9is can be only incremental improvements. Given that you say PCSK9is are more specific to cholesterol (although this is debatable), we can thus probably attribute most of the effect to reduction in LDL.

2) I quote:

Treatment with a PCSK9 inhibitor was associated with a lower rate of

a) myocardial infarction (2.3% versus 3.6%; odds ratio [OR]: 0.72 [95% confidence interval (CI), 0.64-0.81]; P<0.001)

b) stroke (1.0% versus 1.4%; OR: 0.80 [95% CI, 0.67-0.96]; P=0.02)

c) coronary revascularization (4.2% versus 5.8%; OR: 0.78 [95% CI, 0.71-0.86]; P<0.001).

d) All cause mortality was only marginally significant: all-cause mortality (OR: 0.71 [95% CI, 0.47-1.09]; P=0.12).

This does not mean PCSK9is don't reduce mortality, it just means that we haven't followed enough people for long enough. Again, you have to understand how null hypothesis testing works to interpret this statement. The reason that they reduces MI and Stroke without the same effect on reducing all-cause mortality is that we treat MI and Stroke pretty well typically, so you usually don't die from them. The event rate for these is higher, which means if you run a trial for them as the outcome instead of all-cause mortality you can use fewer patients and get it done faster and cheaper, which is ultimately good for patients. However, we obviously know that MI and Stroke are associated with increased risk death. Furthermore, you can die from a lot of other reasons than cardiovascular disease, which makes the trial require even more people to separate out the signal.

No one is arguing that PCSK9 inhibitors are a magic bullet (well maybe someone is, but not most people), but they are clearly pretty good even when added to already-pretty-good therapy.
Working Remotely (Part 1)
Yes, it can be an oversimplification, but in this case it isn't. He clearly wanted to pump up the stock price and screw short sellers (he threw lots of indicators in the public space), and his statement was clearly and knowingly false. There was no secured funding.

Optimism might justify a statement like "final stages of signing funding" or "almost closed the deal" or even "funding as good as secured" -- there might be ambiguity there. Not for "funding secured".

This is as close to textbook as you can get.

>iirc there was a ban wave not long ago

A bunch of subs related to QAnon were just banned, the most significant one being r/thegreatawakening.

A couple of past sweeping bans include:

- r/jailbait and some other subs with questionable sexualized content

- r/fatpeoplehate, which I think also came with a bunch of bans on other hate subreddits
I also find it interesting from the inverse perspective. I am of course naive, but I think most of the viewpoint differences boil down to how one views business owners and government. Not necessarily one versus the other, though that does come in to play, but more about whether the former deserves rights/consideration and whether the latter is equipped to reasonably restrict them. This is especially true for big business and big laws.
Wireless charging is solvable but the sales pitch for AirPower was actually pretty fundamentally different; AirPower would allow for up to three devices without "sweet spots". Traditional wireless chargers require the device to be in a specific location and at a specific orientation (which is why many mats and Qi-enabled devices have magnets, to enforce this).

While the use-case seems trivial it's a pretty challenging engineering problem; a lot of people who saw the original AirPower announcement and corresponding patent drawings[1] claimed immediately that it wouldn't be possible or would be unbelievably hard without advances in materials and it looks like those criticisms are bearing fruit.

That's pretty much true, but I have to nitpick a bit. Arduino tends to mean an 8-bit AVR chip, say ATmega328. That's actually not very low-power and things get difficult once you need just a tiny bit of performance.

Luckily there are alternatives so you can choose the right tool for the job.

Like which IP policy? Any specific policy document that you can point out?

China has been having IP laws and protection since around 1980, and China government never said once that stealing IP is okay. It is IP law execution and enforcement in China that is sub-par. Policing is sometimes hard.

Also, I believe the US really wants to treat IP as an "asset" rather than a "product".

The article says the noncompetes will stay for 100 executive level employees. Executive level and they have 100 of them? My experience tells me they probably have the devs listed as fake executives like at a lot of companies so they don't have to pay them overtime. Is that what is really going on here?

Noncompetes are terrible and places without them do very well, California being the best example. Everyone should work to get rid of them.

They should write about companies applying non-compete clauses to doctors. It's actually causing problems with public health.

Besides the fact that he isn't spending $1.5B on it, really, what can you do with $3B that you can't do with $1.5B? There's really not that many more things that you can do. So spending it on a (hopefully not) once in a lifetime opportunity doesn't sound like that bad of an idea.
