Though I did not know that they were the primary movers behind getting OIN off the ground, I didn't mean along for the ride as in they were last to get on, I simply meant "why they're participating at all".

The point stands, however, optimistically, OIN is a step in the direction, so RedHat is to be thanked. Pessimistically, this is a great business move for them, for the reasons I've already stated. Also, with Redhat's projects and cloud offering (betting heavy on OpenShift), I can certainly see how it would be great to not have to worry about the variety of parts of things they're about to dip their toes into (as OpenShift is basically data center in a box -- they can't afford to be tripped up by something as small as FAT32).

At this point, OIN is better than nothing, but no one has suggested to me why it isn't just a patent cartel. I don't disagree that it's beneficial to companies involved, but I'm not sure how much benefit it has to the community at large, or to companies that aren't inside OIN.

While I don't agree with software patents, if a small company gets a few patents on truly new/innovative technology (the idealistic goal of the patent system) it seems if they try to enforce their patents on any company in OIN they might have to face down all of OIN. On the other hand if they join OIN they have less protection if Microsoft decides to copy their product.

Again, I'd love to be wrong -- if this kind of situation is mentioned in any legal documents simple enough for laymen to read I'm game.
You can apply for asylum, but that doesn't mean you are eligible to receive asylum:

"The asylum officer will determine if you are eligible for asylum by evaluating whether you meet the definition of a refugee. See section 101(a)(42) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). "
You can extract out a lot of information if you want to though. Perhaps vibration + temperature over time leaks information about where you are: gravel road or not, pot hole or not, hit the curb pulling into your driveway vs your friends driveway, etc. Its hard to not leak data now that machine learning can look for the patterns.

The system with worst or no abort procedures is the Space Shuttle. Earlier versions had ejection seats, but they got rid of that. Imagine if they had Soyuz like capsule which can popped off. Both Challenger and Discovery crew would have been ok. No wonder they discontinued that program.
To extend the analogy, things are going to get even more interesting when this kind of hardware hits the Honda Civic Si or VW GTI (ie 25-30% of the price of the Porsche) pricing levels, but with the same tiny6 performance delta.

From what I've experienced, slack is to the virtual company what the open office plan is to physical offices. Cheap, easy, and in many ways pleasant, but having everyone present in the same space makes it very hard to focus.

For centuries tech has been about making everything easier, faster, more connected. IMHO, next we have to thoughtfully and discerningly step back from that where it isn't helping.

As an example, for the last 30 days I've stopped looking at news and Twitter before noon. They put me in a fast-paced, reactive, what's-next mindset. Leaving them until later means I'm more focused and less tense. I'm doing it for at least another 30 days.
I like the idea, and congrats on the launch!

The resource page you put together looks high quality.

One suggestion is to make each challenge focus on one thing, like flexbox (or even layout in general), font etc. I saw you are giving feedbacks on twitter, which is awesome. Maybe you could collect all the solutions and your feedbacks for each challenge, present them nicely on your site, and maybe also highlight what can be learned from each of them.
The final sentence in the GP seems to strongly suggest so.
"...we just marked them as deleted."

That was the first thing I thought of when I heard the news about the bug --- the infamous creepy message just got an even scarier meaning.

https://www.reddit.com/r/windows/comments/3x88yj/all_your_fi...

I really wonder what goes on at MS to have consensus to think such messages were ever a good idea. Even if the message is true, it scares the users because it's like ransomware. If it isn't, that's even worse because you're now lying to your users. In any case, they arouse suspicion and fear.

In the XP days, I believe updates would, after restarting, at most show a dialog with a more informative message ("Installing updates...") and a progress bar, and more importantly, your wallpaper and desktop would continue loading in the background --- the latter really helps with the unease, if not the annoyance. The full-screen, vague, and unnecessary messages just invoke feelings of horror.
One reward is a thousand times the size of the other - I bet that's the one people focused on.
Largely unrelated but MPEG of mp3 fame has just released MPEG-G, a compressed file format for genomic data. Predictably, it's on track to be saddled with patents. Imagine needing proprietary software to view your own genomic data - or for your new doctor to not have the software to read it! Here's one take worth reading on it: http://datageekdom.blogspot.com/2018/09/mpeg-g-ugly.html?m=1

Also there's already a compressed data format called CRAM for this that has some traction and for which MPEG conveniently failed to compare itself to in their paper.

Honest questions:

1) isn't it somewhat unlawful these days not to log anything on the people that are using your website? I'm all in favor of DDG, but can't they be liable if it would ever come up someone build and detonated bomb thanks to finding info via their search engine?

2) How do we know they haven't been served with NSL ? With NSA capable of breaking SSL, how do we know using DDG != using Google ?
Really can't do a directly comparison but we can look at cost doing a similar task.

DAWNBench does benchmarks.

"At the time DAWNBench contest closed on April 2018, the lowest training cost by non-TPU processors was $72.40 (for training ResNet-50 at 93% accuracy with ImageNet using spot instance). With Cloud TPU v2 pre-emptible pricing, you can finish the same training at $12.87. It's less than 1/5th of non-TPU cost. "

Probably the biggest engineering project fiasco of modern times.

The money invested in this F-35 project could probably solve the homeless problem.
Ditto for the asbestos --- if it's not in a state where fibers of it can easily flake off and float around to be inhaled (technical term is "friable"), it won't do any harm.
The data is publicly available (as is the code), so you could just use it. The data itself is organized by region of the sky being imaged, so that calculation has already been done for us (and at the distance the stars/galaxies are at the difference in distance due to the Earth orbit doesn't matter). In the actual application, both the noise and the psf are modeled based on the actual telescope, so just adding arbitrary noise is a bit of a different problem, but probably a good start. Do note also that Celeste is a generative model (including modeling the noise), so you could just use it to generate a bunch of images for you.
> Jsonschema seems poised to repeat the rope mistake. That is, I'm of the mind that the anti-fragile practices of schemaless JSON have actually been a boon to its success. Trying to solidify things back to a schema gives me little reason to think it will be better this time around.

Yeah I think I agree -- while considering your point I found myself wondering what made jsonschema any different this time around...

> I definitely agree it would be good to have bad decisions over turned. However, I will also not adopt a technology that is a constant grind to retread the same ground over and over. At least, not if I can avoid it. This puts me in the position of not trusting the likes of committees that seem to think throwing out decisions of a scant few years ago are a good idea.

Not like you need me to verify but that's an absolutely reasonable stance, the timeline of a standard and associated versions is important in deciding whether to use it or not.

> My assertion for "pretty easy to read and works pretty well for validation" was not broadly applied to everyone. In particular, it failed at cross vendor efforts. However, the original claim was merely the vague "people", and I stand by that being just as true for XML as it was for JSON. With similar levels of complexity regarding different bugs in parsers and whatnot.

I don't think I agree, but we can definitely agree to disagree here. XML was certainly easy to read (if you didn't use any advanced features) and as good for validation, but I think the simplest feature-complete JSON parser is more complex than the simplest feature-complete XML parser one could write -- but then again, maybe all the features I'm thinking of that XML had weren't in the core spec (I haven't read it).
What context is missing in Kibana? How are you storing the data in ElasticSearch?
It is a function - print() is being called as a function, taking a number of positional, arguments followed by named argument. I don't think you're correct about this being special syntax, except for the '*' is being used to expand a list into the positional arguments.

I enjoyed reading this paper. I also recently talked with Chris Colbert about his new plans to use a CRDT approach to collaborative editing of Jupyter notebooks.

>No, the 15 minute turn around time is not important given the dataset we have at the moment, but showing that it was possible to do was considered important from a science perspective, because of the upcoming LSST telescope. LSST will generate an amount of data equivalent to the full dataset we had available every 3-4 days, so being able to scale this up far enough to accommodate that as well as future planned extensions to the algorithm, necessitated showing scale. The actual science runs by the project are usually done on a few hundred nodes over a couple of hours.

I've heard that the folks working on the EHT array need months to crunch numbers. Could something like this be used to speed up that process? Or is there some other reason that would prohibit that.

P.S. I want pictures of black holes.

Their own company culture and the design of Slack. Many people report a quickening of work tempo when Slack is adopted.

As a contrast, look at email. Both of them allow the sending of text messages between individuals and groups. But the tool designs encourage different cadences.

Note also the difference between this:

> if your team is using it in a way that impedes productivity that's on you

and this:

> anything other than their own company culture

The first clearly blames the individual. The second broadens from "team" to "company", so that's a bit better. But individuals aren't able to change company culture on their own. Especially given that a company's culture isn't isolated; it picks a lot up from the broader corporate work culture.
One can think of many better ways to harness human intelligence than work on an arbitrary puzzle... unless this is an interview for something much bigger.
Except that is exactly how PageRank worked in the beginning. Heavily linked pages were deemed more popular/useful while those at the edges of the network were less so.

As for your last point, metadata is all about addressing these issues. The context has to remain canonical, otherwise God knows what sort of legal issues would arise.
There's a lot to be discussed about Al Awlaki, including his teenage son also killed in the strike, but he was a general in a war, on a battlefield.

Drones target fighters, and they sometimes kill civilians. They don't target civilians. If you don't think there is a difference there fine, but many lose sight of it.
A search engine that has nothing more to offer than "privacy" isn't really worth my time.

Whenever I use DDG I get inferior search results. If privacy is your concern with Google use Startpage. That Bing/Yahoo mashup that DDG want to sell simply doesn't cut it for me (or any of my friends/colleagues).
Chris Patten tried to introduce democracy in 1992, with less than 5 years to go before the agreed handover, and that angered Beijing yes. And then, when the handover happened, Beijing reversed Patten's reforms.

But if the UK had done the same thing in 1980 or 1970 or 1960 or 1950? I don't think the PRC could have done anything about it.

The UK never really cared about Hong Kong democracy. If they had, they would have implemented democratic reforms decades ago, instead of leaving it until the very last minute.
Ask HN: Calling from VoIP / SIP to Regular PSTN Numbers?
Is there a VoIP/SIP service that provides this kind of a 'gateway' to call regular, publicly switched telephone numbers?
Or say at least, is there a gratis app which can call regular phone numbers over just an internet connection and requiring nothing else like SIM card?
Leaving aside the politics of a true national ID card, even if there were a national ID card which went beyond a social security card (which many people don't have a physical copy of), there is absolutely no way that the federal government is going to regulate driver's licenses. And that was the issue here.

Of course, we also have a national ID in the form of passports, but a lot of people don't have one.
Seize it and distribute to the 9/11 survivors, first responders, and troops who served subsequently in Afghanistan.
> he was a general in a war, on a battlefield.

While I personally agree with you, I know people who will vehemently disagree with you on this factoid.

I wouldn't necessarily call him a "general", but perhaps an "operative". He had way too many connections with prominent attackers, so surely he was related to them. But once again, US-evidence of his operations remain classified and thus force me to only speculate on the matter.

At bare minimum, Anwar Al Awlaki was a publisher and prominent writer to the Al Qaeda magazines. So yes, he was an "enemy journalist" in some regards. The US alleges he did more than just write however, and that's why President Obama ordered the drone strike.

----------

My ultimate point is that the line between "journalism" and "operative" is incredibly blurry, even to US Officials.
>Raising the wages of humans so they are the same cost as machines doesn't make the machines cheaper.

And again, that is where you are wrong.

Economies of scale. Building one machine is expensive. Building 10 is slightly cheaper. Building a thousand lowers the price. A million makes them a commodity.
And, in fact, any work to remove it can kick up dust and increase health hazards.
No, thats not the right tree to bark up. No one can testify about why someone else did something- that is the "objection! speculation" that you hear.

I don't know. I'd imagine that the folks working on the EHT already are making use of plenty of HPC for image reconstruction. It's quite a different problem from the Celeste application of course, so this work isn't directly applicable, but if they ever wanted to rewrite their code in Julia, they should give us a shout ;).

The other reason to distinguish * and double-* is because * works with any iterable, and dicts are themselves iterables (of their keys). So you can actually use * on dicts, it just does something different:

>>> d = {'a': 1, 'b' : 2}
>>> [*d]
['a', 'b']

You could arguably say that only * makes sense here since it's a list context. But then, as you say, function calls would still be ambiguous because they support both positional and named arguments. This keeps it all unambiguously consistent in all contexts.
It wasn't an argument.

Google market share increased last month and now over 92% for all platforms. With Bing declining.

DDG is showing up for the first time. But Google increasing and Bing decreasing would suggest that DDG is coming from Bing?

Google - 92.3%

Bing - 2.28%

DDG - .33%

BTW, Google increase the last month is more than the total for DDG. Actually about 4x more.

It's also a great way to defend unpopular political speech and marginalized people. The civil rights and gay rights movements used the same means of inflicting social and physical consequences against the status quo that its defenders used to defend it.

Speech doesn't exist in a vacuum completely separate from the universe of physical consequence, it never has.

Yes, the press complaints commission seemed to work well in the UK, and didn't infringe any freedom of the media. We're not talking about deciding what can and can't be said, just dealing with patently false statements.

1. No, services in the US like DDG largely aren't liable for what users post (or do) on their sites, mostly because of Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act of 1996 [0].

2. We don't know they haven't been served with a national security letter. DDG's protection scope doesn't cover you needing protection from the government, though. So we know using DDG != Google because that's the surveillance threat vector they're concerned with: literally not being Google (which they aren't).
