To your critics: Yes that’s true, many top restaurants offer only one tasting menu, but I have never encountered a top restaurant that forces you to eat there. You have a lot of choice but you made your choice when entering the restaurant. On the other hand the classic French nouvelle cuisine restaurants will always have a menu that offers various choices.
What's especially interesting about octopus is that while they do communicate with each other, they aren't social in the way we are AFAIK. And, as discussed in the article, relatively short timespans (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Pacific_octopus), and parents do not raise their young the way we do.

Sublime Text is close to being the only piece of perfect software. I have so much good will for the Sublime team that I'm tempted to buy it without even trying it.

I don't think the prices are comparable to other software since this will be a qualitatively different software-using experience.

I think people often underestimate in general how much really good software is worth. Most software I regret paying as much as I did for but I would pay at least $300/year for Sublime and likely more if that's what they charged. Dash is another good example of software I get way more value out of than what I paid.

Stack of stack – Hand curated list of the best curated lists
Contentful is the first developer-oriented CMS that actually appeals to businesses and marketers. I've had more than a few nightmares with the Adobe Marketing Cloud but most big businesses just automatically gravitate to those kind of products. Developers always want simple, easy to deploy and configure and something API-driven. Business wants drag and drop, dashboards, analytics and workflows and other nonsense. Contentful is the first CMS I've seen that is extremely developer-friendly, but is pretty enough to give the business folks confidence. You guys just need more of a spiel on your landing page to appeal to the marketers.
Pretty much where I’m at too. The risk of a dodgy prosecution resulting in an innocent person being executed is way too high.

That's a good question. We've been doing this for ~year, whereas Chrome on App Engine/Functions has _just_ recently come out. So we've got a bit of a head-start and our infrastructure is pretty hardened at this point. Also a few other points:

- We've got some REST-based API's that make it dead-simple to interact with Chrome for the majority of the use-cases out there. Plus you're not restricted to having to maintain node-based infra if that's not your stack.

- A lot of good tooling has been developed, for instance a live-debugging tool that lets you visually see the browser (located here: https://chrome.browserless.io/).

- The nature of a lot of folks' business restricts them from using big cloud providers like Google, Amazon, and Microsoft. Just because one of them pivots into your market doesn't mean that they're going to squash you.

- Finally, I've written a driver + am actively involved in puppeteer's repos (plus others). So, in a way, when you sign up for an account you get support from me as well, which has a _ton_ of value if you've never done headless work.

Anyways, hope that helps

Same here. I'm not opposed to the death penalty in principle, but it's impossible to put enough protections in place to prevent executing innocent people. Plus, there really isn't a safety issue when someone could be put into supermax. Of course, there's the issue that supermax borders (at least) on cruel and unusual punishment, but that's another issue that needs to addressed separately.

I forget where but it used to say roughly a high school level of math understanding. You don't have to do a lot of math in the program but it can be helpful for understanding the concepts. I am very poor at math ( never did much math past high school and that ended in 2009 ), and was able to work through the course, though the course in general is not easy.

I really recommend 3Blue1Brown youtube series on linear algebra if you are struggling with some of the math concepts. They have great explanations and great visualizations.
That name harkened back to era of Internet Explorer 6 and evoked painful related JS/CSS development memories even before realizing it's Microsoft's project :D
Some of the best instruction I've ever received (and I have too many degrees). These courses are intensely practical. Making sure people understand the theoretical underpinnings comes second to making sure people can actually use DL/ML software for their own purposes.

The site could use a reorganization, though. Jeremy and Rachel have created a number of courses, but you have to hunt through their YouTube and fast.ai forum comments to find all of them. So much good content should not be buried!
Would be very difficult to ascertain because a lot of the information gleaned from a FISA warrant may feed into counter-espionage efforts, which by their very nature are rarely going to become public.

As I said, sometimes what the FBI does is just monitor the actions of spies and their assets for a long time, without taking action. Then, they may abruptly roll up a bunch of spies at once after watching them for year. We saw that a few years ago with Operation Ghost Stories where a bunch of deep cover Russian intelligence officers got deported (there was a lot of media coverage of a particular attractive agent: Anna Chapman).

One thing I've learned about the US justice system from watching a lot of criminology dramas (not that this is valid source of inferences, but it causes me to look things up for real):

You can choose to prosecute a case with basically any evidence (including "no evidence.") In a jury trial, it's up to the jury to decide whether the suspect is guilty—i.e. jury nullification goes both ways, and a jury can return a "guilty" vote despite a complete absence of a case, just because they feel like it. (A judge does have the ability to overrule any guilty verdict they feel was reached unjustly, but in the sorts of situations you'd expect a community biased enough to return a guilty verdict in absence of evidence, you'd also expect the judge—if they're a member of the same community—to be biased as well.)

Usually, though, because juries are almost never that biased (and are not aware of jury nullification), prosecutors just "decline to prosecute" cases that they don't think have enough evidence to sway a jury.
Not a GoPro-specific comment, but I am kind of shocked at the extent to which cameras have become such an integral part of people's lives. When I was a kid, cameras were these big things that you kept in the drawer for a once-a-year vacation. Even as they got smaller and went digital, and then the marginal cost to take a photo became zero, people didn't obsess over them and take pictures everywhere. When the first mobile phones started to get built-in cameras, people still weren't filming everything.

Some time in the last decade something changed, and now everyone seems to be recording everything, including themselves, all the time. Recording themselves shopping, recording themselves eating, recording every little event they go to, every little mundane aspect of their lives, dashboard cams, helmet cams, home "security" cameras that aren't really providing any security, just recording everything. Last time we got to go on a vacation, I don't even think my wife looked at anything we visited without having a screen and a camera in between.

What's with this compulsion to get pictures of everything? Do people actually go back and look at all these pictures and videos of themselves?

Maybe just start watching it if you are interested in learning, instead of trying to put yourself in a box that you might not have the math skills needed for it.

It is free, you have nothing to lose. If the topic interests you than I am sure you will figure it out. You can always google a math concept that confuses you. There isn't a test and no one will even know.
Great point. It's a hard thing to try and succinctly summarize, plus the title _has_ to be somewhat appealing or no one will ever visit it.

It's a bit "damned if you do, damned if you don't" since lots of folks won't click on click-bait-ish links but will gloss over more terse titles.

WhatsApp, with more than 1.2 billion active users, is one of the easiest ways to send secure information.
“With WhatsApp, it’s as simple as sending a text message — but it’s encrypted,” Mr. Dance explained.

I'm not a security expert but I think this is not exactly the best practice. This may have been true pre-fb acquisition but there has been changes to how WhatsApp behaves, especially server side storage.

Also the departure of WhatsApp founders under uncertain terms, doesn't give me much confidence with usage of that app for clandestine operations.

Perhaps folks here who are well versed with the state of the app can chime in.

Hey Microsoft, when are you going to integrate Xamarin and React Native??? You are obviously fans of react, and it would be nice to have one native language (C#) for writing integration code to react native apps.
Yeah, I don’t think racism is an American issue. I think racist attitudes can result wherever people have low exposure to people of different races. For example, I feel that India has a lot of racism (just from my personal experience visiting a few times).

Part of what makes US unique is that it’s minority groups are much larger than most other countries. I feel that this means racist attitudes get acted upon more frequently, and that victims have a stronger voice here.

I don't understand what you're trying to communicate with that.

Ask HN: Why are we so far from reaching acceptable autonomous driving?
We seem to have large datasets that can be used, and the best of algorithms Why have we as a species failed to make acceptable autonomous driving a reality by now? What is missing? Do we not have the math to do this, like some folks say we don't to tackle hardest problems in quantum mechanics? (By acceptable I mean, a state wherin there exists a handful of people using it to drive across all terrains and under all weathers a normal human is capable of operating a car in)

I'm a former Googler and I mostly don't use Gmail for the mundane reason that its filtering isn't as powerful as what I do with dovecot and sieve.

I may transition from my mail server after I've deployed automation for this built atop GCP and the Gmail API.

Even then I'll still make plenty of use of mutt for better supporting OpenPGP, bottom-posting, and true threading - all of these things are still useful in Debian, and I am a Debian developer. But I'll be more easily able to mix usage of Gmail and mutt, without some hacks I currently use to achieve that.
They promise to teach you deep learning, not to master it.

For many people, this is a good primer into basic concepts and how deep learning works from a high level. If they are still interested then they can work towards mastery. But you have to start somewhere.

Ask HN: Duplicate photos on MacOS
We are dealing with a terabyte of duplicate photos, likely only 300 Gb of actual unique photos, spread across a multitude of directories.

Had been working with Trend Micro's Dr Cleaner, which has duplicate photo tool, but with recent security concerns we have removed it.

Other tools on MacOS app store seem somewhat shady, with small no-name software publishers, so I am wary to give such wide access right to personal data.

Will probably try coding up something in Python, but looking for other suggestions?

Also, do native macos Photos de-duplicate on import (so if you have same photo in two folders, and when you import to photos it identifies the 2nd copy and doesn't import into photo library)? I have read that may be the case (and only works on import) but really unclear from documentation.
To expand on that: Beta-amyloid plaques are correlated with Alzheimer's, but of course correlation is not causation.

Among the many alternate theories is one that it's a defense against a viral infection, so I wouldn't go and eat anti-plaque medication just yet.
It isn't just bribing 12, it is bribing them in a short period of time.

If I'm going to do something and want to bribe a judge I have years to research all the judges who might be at my trial (there are not very many). Each will have a different bribe that will work. (one doesn't want his wife to know about an affair; the next is in an open marriage and doesn't care but he has big gamboling debts that you can "take care of"...)
Honestly, it seems to me that—given a hypothetical ideal jury with encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal code—it doesn't even make sense to have a trial that is "about" a particular crime. Rather, wouldn't it make more sense (again, given a jury that knows what the requirements are for every crime in the book) for the trial to just present the evidence in the case to the jury, and then the jury to come back with a list of zero or more crimes that they've decided that the defendant has committed?

It seems to me that the only reason we do things any other way, is that juries don't have encyclopedic knowledge of the criminal code, and so you have to teach them about what the requirements are for guilt in the particular case.

Given that the court system doesn't like jury nullification, and wants juries to be deciding solely on whether the facts presented to them match the legal requirements for the definition of a particular crime—why would it matter whether they know which crime they'll be asked to evaluate the facts against, before they know the facts? They can learn the facts first, or the law first. Either way, the last step is just matching one to the other. (In the Supreme Court's opinion, at least.)
Having worked in Germany, London, and America, I feel as though America is far more racist than the other countries.

I understand your desire to pretend that the US is merely honest about a global belief, but that's not true. That's just some shit that racist people want to be true.

Racism in the US is stronger, more violent, and more vitriolic than it is is in other places. The other places aren't perfect, but America is a fucking cesspool filled with vile people.
It's hard to distinguish your current level of intelligence with all the stuff you've learned. Knowing what I know now I'd probably go for tapping prime number sequences on the glass, but it took millenia of humans that were basically as intelligent as me to figure out that prime numbers are interesting.
I've read that there was some sort of assert check, which would fail, and cause the whole node to crash.

Therefore fixing the crash is not a "soft fork* because nothing was accepted in the first place.

Yes, if it actually accepted the duplicate input, that would cause unlimited inflation, which is obviously a huge deal.

Or in other words. We got extremely lucky.

The US is also a very heterogeneous society, so race issues come up a lot. Some (but not all) of the countries you’ve listed have a more homogeneous population, which means race problems are less likely to flare up in big messy ways.

It’s a lot easier to spot a racist when the target of their ire is nearby, as compared to the one that Just mutters obscenities about foreigners while reading the newspaper.
It's been a long time, but somewhere I voted, maybe California or Michigan, but somewhere I voted gave me a real receipt. It had a bar-code that was tied not to my identity, but to my ballot itself.

The "receipt" was a perforated piece of paper with a barcode. The votes were cast by connecting lines, and the right half of that line crossed the perforation lines, and was mine to keep. This seemed like a reasonable system, and I could then verify that my vote was counted.

As for voter intimidation, if we really believe that our democracy is worth killing and dying for in foreign wars, then it would logically follow that we must accept the risk of demanding accountability domestically.
What other good alternatives I have if I don't really want social features (like live sharing), wifi and not interested in voice control etc?
We use both, just not in the way a typical git workflow would use feature branches. Basically those are all anonymous heads on the same branch for us; a workflow that is probably as alien to git users as naming each and every head is to Mercurial users.

huh? both of these have been rising, and I'm not sure that's exactly been productive... if anything, we should subsidize these services more (i.e. the society should pay for them, not the individuals). I'm a smart successful guy nearing 30 (i.e. "prime child-having age") but if anything, I'm really put off from having kids anytime soon by the incredibly high costs of childcare and education. I can't imagine what it must be like for e.g. single mothers...
