A lot of Robonaut's actuator technology ended up in Baxter. Now Rethink's dead, but it did start the whole cobots sector. In many respects the cobots from UR are closer to the model T then 60s era robotics. 60s era robotics is more like the tracked steam shovel.
The modchip makers won in the end just as soon as the consoles were no longer supported. I can easily chip my Wii or Xbox because the manufacturers of those devices no longer release security updates for those particular models. This was not true when they were current.

This seems very easy for the fortune teller to exploit. Parrots are intelligent enough to take subtle hints, plus their UV vision allows them to see marks on the cards humans wouldn't detect.
It depends heavily on the language course. Duolingo's Italian course actually manages to teach grammar and usage through their standard translation setup, while their Japanese course does nothing of the sort. It does not work very well for the latter, I've been through most of it by now and it's just translation-translation-translation, which doesn't teach you much at all, because the translation to English really doesn't work with Japanese. For example, they keep translating 'itadakimasu' (いただきます in Hiragana) to "Let's eat!", but that's not what it means. Otherwise the taxi driver wouldn't ask you '1980 yen itadakimasu'.. :)

I think the preference is for companies not to be subject to certain US laws (e.g. Patriot act or NSLs that must be kept secret)

Say whatever about the feasibility of this, just don’t try to make it a binary option between law-abiding or criminal.
I want companies, as people and as organizations, to behave ethically.
Why don't people just drink a cup of green tea!?
I don't think the statement implies any of that. Just that they can't guarantee privacy while operating in US.
> Do you expect or want companies NOT to obey law?

Of course not. I expect privacy conscious companies to incorporate in privacy friendly countries. Or, to put it the other way around, I evaluate company privacy claims in the context of the law they operate in.

I agree with you that the grandparent misinterpreted the theorem as the Wikipedia article includes something similar to your reply:

"These results might seem irrelevant (after all, none of the conditions are met in the real world), but the theorem is still taught and studied because it tells something very important. That is, capital structure matters precisely because one or more of these assumptions is violated."

There is no official "recommended" dosage and often the "maximum" dosage is just a guess too. Not the same as not being able to determine the dosage in each capsule or pill.

If the law is purposely working against the public best interest in violation of the right to privacy I expect them to make a moral stand.

In USA the law provides them with a legal excape to avoid that moral stand, which they promptly do.

It is not about "obeying law" as much as a the work of a soldier is "obeying superiors orders". There are moral limits. Now grow up and get to know yours.

I'd be surprised if it was anything other than the "dosage" stated on the box. Do people actually take more than the recommended dosage in the belief that the supplement will be even better for them? I guess it's possible but surely that would be newsworthy in and of itself if that were the case in this instance.

Rust did a lot of things nice, but it is over cluttered with all these particularities everywhere, which could be hidden by better default conventions.

For example, everything should be a reference by default, and use of explicit & is stylistically bad.

Or why in
let mut iter = a.iter();
iter is mut? It should be a simple closure which follows a protocol. In what sense it is mutable?

And such small warts are literally everywhere, together resulting in a clutter.

A functional language uniform defaults (everything is an expression, everything is a binding which implies everything s reference) are much better.
Ask HN: Advice/reviews about our Free serverless full stack training
Hey Guys,

We are launching soon a free training program to learn serverless full stack web development, right now we have already produced 5 videos (next one will be published tomorrow).

https://academy.appdrag.com/

Each video is taking less than 10 minutes and explain how to do very common and useful things like:
Create a database and tables, Create an authentification system (login/password), Create a customer area, Generate dynamic pages based on the content from the database (Master list + details page), Handle dynamic actions like a reservation (store in DB, send an email template with variables)

For each video, we provide a full transcript and source code.

I would really like to have your reviews and advice about the content of the videos, the subjects we chose and the next one we should produce.

Thanks :)
You can get a spot mini for ~30k according to Raibert.

I think limiting our analysis to one particular form of robot is probably not a good idea. As we're still trying to figure out which form is the best for whatever that "killer app" is in robotics.

Also one reason to not turn a kitchen into a robot is generality of solution. If you can have 1 robot work in 3 kitchens is cheaper than retrofitting the 3 kitchens.

All of that being said I generally agree with your sentiment, and I think we'll see robots move into places they're needed/bring more additional value than general house chores. For example, restaurants. Where they can be faster, safer with food, but still general enough to put cheese on one burger and not the next without an engineer coming in after installation.
There are, but those are not the ones one thinks of by default when talking about PNG. If they do, they should clearly tell you they are doing something nonstandard.

They provide a fast service, with no data collection, for free, but I fail to see their motivation on this, which makes me a bit reluctant to use it.

> If there is an alternative with an ecosystem as big as wordpress, or atleast has the growth potential to become one, I am very eager to know.

There probably won't be, because it would introduce many of the same problems WP has.

If you want an ecommerce platform, there are plenty to choose from. Throwing 'woocommerce' on top of your blog solves some problems, but creates (many) others, and if your focus is ecommerce, use a more focused platform. It's the "it can do everything for all people" aspect which has created some of the problems we see.

> Why does someone select Wordpress in 2018?

I can tell you why I do it. I host a couple of WP instances on my server. One for a non-profit sports organisation I am involved in and one for my mom. In both cases I look after the WP install itself (config, updates etc) and they deal with all the content. WP provides a UI that is easy enough for them to use to do so. I am certainly not interested in building anything “custom” for them.
Absolutely not true at all.

Adblock broke websites more than once for me. `.btn.btn-primary { display: none }` and similar things. They are fixed relatively fast, but if user uses adblock, he must be aware that this addon can and will broke websites, so he must know how to disable it if something doesn't work. Not saying that politics has place in adblock, of course, but worse things happened.

There are many places on the margins of the Arabic world where people lack an active command of MSA (as opposed to a merely passive understanding), and where newspapers may well be in French instead of MSA. After all, an active command is learned through formal schooling, and regrettably there are places in the Arabic world where children do not get much formal schooling.

Genetics too. RNA sequencing data is almost exclusively considered exploratory and is expected to be replicated at least technically (by using the same biological samples for qPCR to measure a small number of genes) but also biologically with novel samples and experiments.
There are at least two big problems with supplements in the US: Their benefits and potential harm have not been evaluated by a rigorous scientific process, and it wouldn't matter if they had been because the potency, quality, and purity of their ingredients is almost entirely unregulated.
Please don't look at Sweden as an example for how it should work. Personally, I'd prefer a system more like the Danish one, with unions that are less politicized but with a social welfare net that will catch you fairly quick if you need to change jobs or get fired or whatever.

I worked on that side of the Pond for almost a decade, and was quite involved in the union where I worked. They're quite politicized there as well although I heard the Social Democrats are slowly losing their grip of the larger unions now.

Ask HN: Blogging platform for writing about code
I would like to create a blog about code / software development. I want a hosted solution - I don't want to develop my own or host it myself due to lack of time.

It should be possible to insert code examples easily and to insert tables and diagrams. I tried a wordpress.com trial, but it does not seem to be straightforward to insert code examples or tables, possibly because it is not intended for technical writing. I understand WP is pretty customizable if I host it myself, but I really would prefer a hosted solution which allows this out of the box.

I assume there are a lot of technical bloggers on this site. What can you recommend for this purpose?

You are overestimating the numbers of Arabic speakers migrating to Europe. (Even during the big wave of 2015, a considerable portion of those migrants were Dari or Pashto speakers.) And even within Europe’s Arab-migration enclaves, the second and third generations usually lose touch with the Arabic language and only know the local language; something the first-generation parents often bemoan.
This is really interesting! Have been doing something similar myself on my own phone (Android) for about a month using the wonderful NetGuard app ( https://f-droid.org/en/packages/eu.faircode.netguard/) which allows one to see the source and destination for each request from all apps.

I totally agree, he brings up things that challenge my ‘priors’ and shifted my views - in a 1 hour talk. Excellent talk.

Two comments: I think it showed real fairness invited him to give a talk at Google; someone probably read his book and wanted to promote change within. The second comment is trivial: watching this talk reminds me that arguably the best perk when I worked at Google as a contractor was the invited talks (yes, even better than the food: I can buy my own food but hearing very interesting people talk in person is an experience more difficult to buy).

AFWall+ appears to required a rooted device for iptables, but NetGuard says no root is required.

You are right about what the problem is, but cheating in this context would mean registering a hypothesis after you've already looked at the data and assured yourself you'll get a positive result. That in my mind is even worse than current status-quo.
Agreed. I just purchased a new notebook, and it was really odd to switch to a new machine that's not phenomenally better than the old one in multiple ways. When I switched from a 2008 Dell Inspiron to a 2012 Asus Zenbook, it was a huge upgrade: dim 720p -> bright 1080p, HDD -> SSD, much more compact, much lighter. My new notebook is basically the same than the old one, except with newer components all around and better upgradability. (The soldered-in 4 GB RAM was the only real issue with the Zenbook.)
I have similar issues I've found that disabling tap-to-click is the only option. Takes some getting used to actually pressing down the touchpad instead of tapping, but at least typing is now a deterministic experience.

Because the schema is based on a numbered position rather than a field name. This means you need to never rename positions - if you want to deprecate fields you just loose the numbering. Numbers 0-15 use less space in the message than others for example.

There is a chance that Hydroxycut was actually something good overall. There were 23 reported cases of serious health problems and apparently one death. Maybe we can triple that, as not every case will be reported. But this has to be compared to the negative effects of consuming something common, e.g. coffee. There were a million units sold each year and assuming it was effective in reducing fat among a percentage of overweight people, the lifespan of an average user might have easily increased, not to mention the quality of life. I don't think this would convince the public or the regulators of course.

Yes, because it is very costly and difficult to get high amounts of the active ingredient that people are desperately seeking for their magical weight loss pill. People are dropping stupid amounts of green tea pills every day.

I chased all this shit until I got sick of it and adopted a whole foods plant based diet. No more added sugar or refined, processed crap. Weight dropped like crazy and I walk around literally euphoric compared to before. Same for my wife. No counting calories, no fad diets, no insane excersize schedule, no supplements other than iodide (seaweed), L-Glutamine, and top grade certified fish oil with vitamin D. Those are universally accepted supplements recognized and used widely in the medical community and are not nesseaary accept it is very expensive and time consuming to acquire and eat the amount of food required to get optimal levels.
