Are you sure you understand what the word “mainstream” means? A recent dictionary defines mainstream as “representing the prevalent attitudes, values, and practices of a society or group”. You don’t seem to use that meaning of the word at all.

Your definition seems closer to “low-quality” or “biased”. As in “The low-quality, biased media only talks about the good sides of Barack Obama”. Is that what you meant?
> I realize I'm just one data point but I think a lot of people use their vices to stave off boredom and make a life that is not all that interesting, interesting.

It increasingly looks to me like the problem with vices like this (anything from Facebook to pot) is exactly what you describe.

Too often, we talk about them like they ruin people's lives directly. There are a hundred thinkpieces taking correlations like "men who work shorter hours play more games" or "unhappiness is correlated with Facebook use" and concluding "therefore games drive you to not work and social media makes you unhappy!" But we're not talking about things with physical mechanisms or direct brain-chemical impacts here, and I wouldn't expect all the Skinner Box design in the world to make "flashy lights on a screen" more compelling than a tasty dinner or a good hug.

Rather, social media, games, or endless Reddit scrolling slot all too easily into downtime and unsatisfying situations. My experience with them has always been that of a mild sedative; they create a tolerable baseline state for what might otherwise be intolerable situations. (I think the analogy to drinking prior to a crap TV show or a boring event is a great one. It's not alcohol addiction or abuse in any standard sense, but it's still alcohol legitimizing some other bad situation.)

That can still make tech a problem inasmuch as it stops people from breaking out of those situations. But if the situation is externally imposed then it's playing a positive role, and if the situation can be broken with an offering tech doesn't interfere with then it's not playing a negative role. I do think there are people who would benefit from cutting back on tech, and I think we underestimate the impact of push notifications and instant focus switching on our attention. But I also think we neglect a lot of cases where tech is a palliative for some other problem we would be better off attacking directly.
Thank you! I hadn't seen these before. Great stuff.

This is a misconception. They are not "like the rest of us", in that they are a publicly traded corporation with a legal obligation to chase shareholder value above all else. "We" are private individual citizens.
You might want to check the reason for the limitation before making such comments. A display can be stretched to the three edges of the phone —- it is the fourth edge that is the problem — as Xiaomi demonstrated with Mi Mix 2. At least some space is needed to house the display driver, camera, sensors etc.
While not trying to reason from fictional evidence, this reminds me of Battlestar Galactica. In the series, they made a point of Galactica running on non-networked computers (unlike the rest of the fleet), as networking them together made it easy for the adversary to pwn the whole ship.
I think your situation is more common than not. Most people aren't bothered by sound, and most managers don't care. If they did, they wouldn't cheap out with open offices in the first place. It's the most discredited idea since phrenologuy.

You are totally right, and I will add just one word: Guantanamo.
Lol, why on earth would you use react ....
If (IF!) you hold a civilian or military clearance, then you have a legal Duty to Report (DTR). That holds true whether its data in your clearance level or not.

You also abide by a whole slew of laws regarding sensitive, secret, top secret, or SCIF information. If I knowingly, or even suspect, some information if classified, and I transmit it to anyone else than my federal assigned contact, I'm breaking major federal laws.

A lot of security professionals in the US have such clearances. So finding a NSA implant or such proof makes it dangerous to talk about by default.

So yeah, a gag order by profession.
"The line between a commune and a cult is basically non-existent."

I'd say this is a stretch. Communes can come in all shapes and sizes. Cults are generally centered around a charismatic leader and lack transparency. FEC communities have no central leader, hold land and property in common, and are income sharing.
Heh. My first project at Google made roughly $100M/year. It was shut down by my department (Search) after 3 years because it "didn't move the needle", resurrected by Ads for another couple years because it apparently moved the needle enough to make it worthwhile for them, then shut down for good. I remember joking "Well, could I buy it off you if you don't want it? I'd love to have a $100M business", but it was a little too integrated with Google's systems & salesforce to make that feasible.
I did a search for "expat American taxes" and found https://www.internationalcitizens.com/finances/tax-filing-am... .

Add a country for more country-specific results, like for the UK at https://www.taxesforexpats.com/uk/us-tax-preparation-in-uk.h... and Germany https://www.howtogermany.com/pages/ustaxes.html .

The latter mentions "IRS Publication 54, Tax Guide for U.S. Citizens and Resident Aliens Abroad, which should answer most of your questions" then adds "Due to the complexity of both the U.S. and German tax systems and their interaction with one another, it is always recommended that you hire a tax consultant (Steuerberater/CPA) or a professional US Tax preparer to guide you through the intricacies involved in filing returns as well as to provide some ease of mind during your stay abroad".

Our goal is that you can define domain-specific Style files--analogous to a .sty in LaTeX--that apply to whatever field of mathematics you want. We have prototyped this but there are still too many rough edges to recommend to outside users at this point.

Flowcharts are not on our initial list of domains, but we hope that the infrastructure will let any user add a Style extension to support them.
Right. I mean, consider your simple python:

with some_resource() as resource:
some_function_on(resource)

Is that broken? If some_function_on saves the resource, yes. If it just temporarily uses it, no.

I don't think the claim that it's syntactically obvious in Python is correct. In both cases the typical syntax helps a little but it's easy to get wrong.

It is the case that "the typical syntax" is a little more enforced by Python-the-language.
There’s a strong argument against disclosure of internally discovered bugs (security or otherwise) that have no evidence of user impact. Internal efforts to find and fix bugs improve actual quality/safety but, if indiscriminately announced, harm perceived quality/safety. We have seen repeatedly how bad security reporting of actual weaknesses can drive users to more risky alternatives or behaviors, lowering actual security and privacy. It’s just too easy to say that all major security defects should be announced or that no major defects should ever exist.

There are about 430 developers that could have exploited this vulnerability. There was no evidence in the available two weeks of logs of it being exploited. And the number of users and types of data available make Google+ a low value target. The decision to not announce was reasonable, common, legal, and moral.

It sets a poor standard to suggest they should have acted different because they’re now under fire from people with far darker motives than reporting truth or advocating for consumer privacy. Those exploiting the story for their own gain should be shamed rather than capitulated to.
No particular need for the bandwagoning. You're the third person to point this out, one three hours ago, one an hour ago, and now you in the last two minutes. Hard to believe you didn't see the other two comments before replying.

Nokia doesn't allow bootloader unlocking, which should be a giant "nope" for anyone reading something called hacker news…

Meanwhile Xiaomi's Android One devices (not MIUI) are just 'fastboot oem unlock' without any key requests, just like good old Nexuses.
I came in a little hot in that comment, and pushed some of the arguments to their extreme, so I want to apologise for that.

But I really appreciate the response! It's a nice breath of fresh air when someone responds like you did, especially when my comment was a lot more aggressive.

There's not going to be an easy solution for this kind of stuff, but at the end of the day I feel it's a necessary evil, very similar to how many countries deal with freedoms or natural rights.

If we err on the side of giving people choice, that means that more bad actors will be able to hurt than if we didn't. But I feel that freedom is something to be protected, and it is worth the added work and risk of allowing bad actors to get a foothold.
Hi, I'm Scott Clark, co-founder of SigOpt (YC W15). We provide hyperparameter optimization as a service.

We have some references to recent articles we've presented at NIPS, ICML, and AISTATS here [1]

We also have a higher level technical blog here [2] (we recently did a series of post on how uncertainty influences optimization in single and multi-metric cases). We've also done some hyperparameter tuning blog posts with our partners AWS [3] and NVIDIA [4].

All of these papers and blogs also contain references to other papers and blogs that can help start you down your literature review. Hopefully this is helpful!

Yes it is a bit of a palava to get running but you can get it running straight out of eg ~/src/ with $ git clone https://https://github.com/penrose/penrose.git. Follow https://github.com/penrose/penrose/wiki/Building-and-running I use Arch Linux but I'm sure no one will hold that against me (package names like this):

You will need a JDK (I installed jdk8-openjdk) to get a javac (needed when you run make in src). You may also need ghc for Haskell although the thing seems to install another one locally. I installed stack and then happy and then "stack build" finished OK. alias runpenrose=</very/long/path/in/home/bin/penrose>. Substitute "python -m http.server" for "python -m SimpleHTTPServer" because Python3 and the rest of the example works OK.

Some are just searching for anything that will generate the plot they want with ``better'' workflow. It's subjective. TikZ can be off putting, if you don't want to put the time in, or it doesn't meet some particular need you have. Inkscape is vast. draw.io is limited. 3D modelers, CAD programs, Python with its libs etc. I would say that LaTex and Penrose are compliments, as with any graphic generating tool.

The creators of Penrose have this to say in the very first sentence of their introduction: "Typesetting software like LATEX and MathJax has accelerated the pace of scientific communication, but no
equivalent exists for mathematical diagramming."
A cheaper option is any type of over the ear hearing protection and in ear headphones if you want to listen to music.

CISO is not the most likely point of crossover, the most likely point is the general counsel's office. Companies don't talk to the Feds without a lawyer, and they also don't issue high profile statements without a lawyer. And unlike the CISO, conversations with your lawyer are privileged.
TikZ creates pretty diagrams. I've had partial success using it, with my beginner-level LaTeX knowledge. I'm not convinced that it's possible to become comfortable with TikZ syntax, without hundreds of hours of LaTeX experience. I'd love to be proven wrong, of course.
DHS Announces Strategy to Protect the Homeland from Electromagnetic Incidents [pdf]
As I've narcissistically considered my own comment since I wrote it, I think it might have to do with noise our lizard brains feel it has to process. Because as I thought back to my time in the shop, with the air tools, compressor in the back room, cars in and out...you know, I could probably plop down with a laptop and be fine hammering out some code. It's just noise (and for some reason, the thought of an air tool sound makes me think in a Pavlovian way that work is getting done!).

But "Hey, how about that game last night!" behind me and...

Google has excellent marketing. They're very good at getting people to use their products and talk positively about it.

PR on the other hand, I think to be more of a mixed bag. They've always used marketing to deflect away from poor PR. Historically in the early days their PR was better, but I think that can be attributed to the company just being better. These days, well, this whole G+ debacle can be seen as a failure in PR.

They managed to turn a minor oversight of leaking common information that likely impacted nobody into a major data breach front page announcement on every major news publisher. Pretty big PR failure if you ask me.
Yup. The enemy may be poorest of poor, but in this day and age, their entire population probably has smartphones (or at least dumbphones), and there's plenty of smart people with nothing better to do than to play with computers.

"i think they're running a similar model to VC - better hit another one or a couple of 100B+ Unicorns than a 100 of 100M small businesses."

It occurs to me that the VC model itself makes a certain set of assumptions about where we are in the economic cycle. It only works if a.) there are industries that can be reinvented by the application of technology in a way that disrupts all the existing firms and b.) those firms are too blind, too set in their ways, or too structurally rigid to adapt that technology.

This has been the case from the 1980s onwards, but was not the case from roughly 1920-1980. At some point we're going to hit the end of the current cycle, and then any firm based upon that assumption is just going to die through bad bets. I don't think we're there yet, but it's interesting to think about the assumptions underlying the model.
Maybe that will kill the trend? I certainly hope so! :-)
Compared to hosting a static site on Heroku, Netlify deal with the CDN setup, cache invalidation on deploys and efficient delivery of static assets, with minimal configuration and a generous free tier. Heroku is much more flexible but you have more to configure yourself.

Ease of use vs flexibility.

Right now, I push for static site solutions over dynamic ones where possible because hosting is an order of magnitude simpler and there's way less that can go wrong.

Here: Airpods are very good headphones. But not for everybody.

All through this thread you're jumping on anyone who dares criticize any aspect of the Airpods. Speaking in absolutes. "Nobody who has ever used them would say that", "nobody misses the wires", "nobody misses their previous headphones".

I don't like them. I can't wear them. My ears are too small, they slide out. This doesn't distract from their quality.

But I sure as shit miss the 3.5" jack when I have to plug a silly, fragile, unwieldy dongle into my phone to listen to my Earset 3i's. (Sadly, too, their Amazon rating seems to be 2.7/5, and reading the critical reviews, that seems to be almost exclusively because people got counterfeits on Amazon).

Please stop speaking like people are _factually wrong_ for disliking the Airpods or aspects of them.
I never said it was useless to try and overcome addiction.

Wow.
> no clear communication on software upgrade policy

The "Android One" label communicates 2 years of updates.

Either way, it's a Treble phone with an unlockable bootloader (without any key requests even! just like old Nexuses). I flashed a GSI (unofficial Lineage 16) right after I came home from buying the A2 :)

Of course this Treble stuff is still pretty new and you need to hack around some things — for example, I had to remove some XML file to make Bluetooth audio work, and (when Magisk rooted) SELinux is blocking the Wi-Fi driver from automatically loading so I have to load it from a root shell manually after a reboot :D but that's perfectly acceptable for me.
Why use Docker? 3 reasons from a development perspective
I always assumed the US military does such tests routinely. Don't they?
Sorry, reading on a phone. Really didn’t see the responses before responding. It was not my intention to pile on.
An accurate assessment, though I'm not sure if what I'm to take away from this is if there's some sort of 'ranking' system behind who gets to get away with what when it comes to 1) disagreeable speech 2) who is allowed to respond to it and how 3) who gets to decide what speech is promulgated and what speech is hidden.

In the Google case, I find objections to suppressing information from the citizenry at the behest of government forces.

In the Alex Jones case, I also find objections to harassing...well anyone who isn't themselves trying to agitate and disturb (don't start no s--- there wont be no s--- kind of thinking).

So I posit this question: why is one weightier than the other in how we view and analyze them, again? Being as dispassionate as possible, I fall back to my prior statement: taken at face value it seems like the major differences here boil down to scale. Project Dragonfly casts a wide net over the question of accessing information, whereas the banishment of Jones is more localized and pointed.
Until you have to reference security groups across the peering connection. You can't reference a different region's security group id as a source, thus your forced to just whitelist the entire subnet/cidr.

Also, while setting up peering is a 10-20 minute task there are lot of constraints, such as the VPC's have to have different CIDR ranges. Oops, if you go with the AWS default, probably all regions using 172.31.0.0/20.

Google got networking right with a flat global any region setup. If you need segmentation then just create a new GCP project. If it turns out projects need to communicate after all, GCP has VPC network peering.
