> A product that I've been keeping an eye on is Subform

Dude, hate to be the bearer of bad news, but subform shut down, during beta.

I also was keeping track of it and hoping it would launch.

sketch.systems is created by the same people though, and sketch.systems is pretty much their pivot. not quite the same thing but it seems to be receiving a better response in the market.
Absolutely correct, good catch! Points to one of the errors that dimensional analysis can't catch.
>especially if you become dependent on it.

Nobody is ever going to become dependent on locking up their brakes during normal driving. Power brakes would be dangerous if they failed because without them you get very substantially reduced braking but in no way would the lack of ABS be any more dangerous than driving a car without ABS to begin with.
Other way around, she was his mentor as a summer associate

"Robinson met Barack Obama when they were among the few African Americans at their law firm, Sidley Austin LLP (she has sometimes said only two, although others have noted ut there were others in different departments).[55] She was assigned to mentor him while he was a summer associate.[56] Their relationship started with a business lunch and then a community organization meeting where he first impressed her.[57]"

The truth comes in as a quick afterthought, "and of course to finance our research on art and ML".

The whole discussion is meant to elicit "a pass". Dishonest.
I think you'll like some of the ideas we're working on.

For this preview release, you can't control the sources. But when it gets released for real, you will be able to create an account an add your own social accounts (twitter, facebook, linkedin, reddit) to monitor, and also add your own news sources (RSS feeds, websites to spider etc).

Based on the sources you add, Orac will then try to find other interesting similar sources for content to include in the feed.

On the back-end, we're basically building a database of media content with quality and attribute predictions designed for searching and filtering based on topic model matching.

There are some interesting ideas we're working on with de-duplication (establishing canonical sources, effectively). But that's super early.
Wow, what a cool guy. I know we don't do AMAs on here but it'd be amazing to get HN to pick his brains for a bit.
The people who pay fortunes for framed art don't know or care about open source licensing.
The natural fit here is a naval nuclear reactor. For example, the A4W reactor on a Nimitz-class aircraft carrier puts out 550MW(th), and of course it has a continuous 100% duty cycle, and 20 years of operating time before requiring refueling. For slightly less overkill, an S6G reactor from a Los Angeles-class nuclear sub puts out 165MW(th), and is substantially smaller and lighter.

Of course, this raises some thorny issues around potential launch failures spreading radioactive material over a large area. This is already a consideration even with the little RTGs that NASA launches for rovers.

50mm equivalent in 135 terms, but yes, larger than 28. (I've since moved on to an X100F, but that's neither here nor there. :)

> EIS is brilliant. OIS is better for small movements, but add EIS and it's great. Computational photography is brilliant. However Google has really, really been pouring out the snake oil for their Pixel line.

This is what I was missing. It seemed you were arguing that computational photography is not capable of much, but you're more just pointing out that this computational photography is not doing much, despite Google's claims to the contrary.

I'd agree with you that this is not exactly revolutionary stuff.
This is mostly just hot air and empty claims. Do you interact much with professors at leading universities? I do. In my experience it is a very talented, competitive, and hard-working group of people. Not at all like some distant, unaccountable caste.

I think both this discussion, as well as last year's Facebook/React Patent License brouwhaha (and Redis, more recently) would all be far better if people assumed good faith, and tried to actually get at the core of the problem.

It's clear that there's a gap in existing licences that some regard as unfair. It also seems plausible that many projects could have dramatically better resources if the companies they are attached to could find a way to capture a fraction of their product's worth to their largest users. Just offering service with their competitive advantage being only the result of name recognition seems to work only for a very select group of huge projects. And even there, the likes of Canonical or SUSE show how hard it is.

Yet it is obviously challenging to write a license that adequately captures these facts. I think everyone would have something to gain from finding a way to make these situations work.

A required part of that solution may be for the community to interpret licenses not with the current they-are-trying-to-screw-us mindset but with, say, the "reasonable person" standard often used by the courts in contract/license disputes.

That's not going to be easy, considering "expect the worst and don't risk anything" always looks like sound advice, given that you will never know what you missed on the path not taken.

But the GPL's success should be inspiring here: it was initially met with scepticism, especially among corporate lawyers. Their essential pessimism never changed (it's how they became corporate lawyers in the firs place). But as it happened, it was enough for just few to take the risk, and subsequently creating precedents in court affirming the GPL, that made the concept cross the chasm to being palatable even to initial sceptics. Once courts fill in the questions of interpretation currently clouding these (necessarily somewhat abstract) licence, some doubts may dissipate.

You may have rose tinted glasses on. Meth was introduced to the rave scene much like crack was introduced into black communities in the 80s, to the same catastrophic effect.
I have used GoPhish (and still currently do) to great effect. I really love the ease of use, templated and personalized aspect, and of course pretty graphical reports for management. I had no idea it was mainly a one man band type of product. Tools like SET are more powerful, but geared towards pen testing/red teaming, not phishing focused.

Thank you very much for a quality open source toolkit.
Pretty sure you don't die when you get fired from Netflix. You go work for a different FANG for a lower base salary. Little bit much with that analogy.

I'm not a parent myself, so I invite you to apply as much sodium chloride as you deem necessary. But what I seem to think are guiding principles is to apply as little force as necessary, and only when the situation warrants it. And when it is applied, put forth a clear path to avoid the punishment in the future.

I have zero recollection of this episode, but my parents tell me that when I was very young (3-5 years old, somewhere in that range) I used to sneak off an hide in malls when my parents went shopping with me, and no amount of time outs or revoked privileges could keep me from doing this (probably because the ability to punish kids through confinement or chores is limited when you're out in public with them). This extended to the point that stores had to be shut down and staff called to help search for me. My parents tell me that my dad took me to the car, explained why this behavior was unsafe and unacceptable, and that they had exhausted other disincentives before resorting to physical punishment before proceeding to spank. Supposedly when I would start to wander off my parents reminded me of the physical punishment, and clearly explained that this would be the consequence if I repeated that behavior.

Society works similarly. When people do bad things that are not exceedingly harmful we fine them or revoke privileges. Drunk driving is almost certainly more serious than kids sneaking off in malls. And we rarely apply force in that situation, preferring to fine people and revoke their driving privileges. Physical punishment in the form of imprisonment is reserved for things that are exceedingly harmful and dangerous. And when physical punishment is issue for things that aren't truly dangerous, like drugs, it's recognized as an injustice - at least by a significant chunk of society.
Additionally, compared with placebo, baloxavir treatment significantly reduced the following:

The duration of flu symptoms, by more than 1 day (median time, 53.7 hours vs 80.2 hours; P <.0001);

The duration of fever, by nearly 1 day (median time, 24.5 hours vs 42.0 hours; P <.0001);

The length of time viruses continued to be released from the body (median time of viral shedding, 24.0 hours vs 96.0 hours; P <.0001); and

The levels of virus in the nose and throat from 24 hours through 120 hours.

Relative to oseltamivir, baloxavir treatment resulted in similar median time to alleviation of symptoms (median, 53.5 hours for baloxavir vs 53.8 hours for oseltamivir; P = .7560) and similar time to resolution of fever reduction (median, 24.4 hours vs 24.0 hours; P = .9225), respectively.

However, baloxavir treatment was associated with significantly reduced viral shedding duration (24.0 hours vs 72.0 hours; P < .0001) and significantly lower levels of virus in the nose and throat at 24 hours and 72 hours.

"It is unclear why the time to alleviation of symptoms was similar in the baloxavir group and the oseltamivir group even though baloxavir showed greater antiviral activity," the authors write. "The findings suggest that the symptom benefit of antiviral agents may have a ceiling in self-limited influenza illness in adults, perhaps because viral replication levels are decreasing by the time of presentation and illness pathogenesis is linked to host proinflammatory responses."

Overall, baloxavir was well-tolerated and had a lower incidence of adverse events reported (20.7%) compared with placebo (24.6%) or oseltamivir (24.8%). The most common adverse events were diarrhea (3%), bronchitis (2.6%), nausea (1.3%), and sinusitis (1.1%).

"The antiviral effects that were observed with baloxavir in patients with uncomplicated influenza provide encouragement with respect to its potential value in treating complicated or severe influenza infections," the authors write.
Canard or red herring used to justify militarism and military aggression. In our world when countries get too powerful to fight they usually simply don't and use proxies to fight conventional wars.
The dentists fight it because the science mostly says they’re harmless. Trust me, there’s plenty of money to be made removing the old fillings (which actually is the most dangerous time for mercury contamination) and replacing them with composites. Dentists are incentivized to do so. They just don’t want to cause unneeded hysteria.

> On the other hand one I've heard from many parents that spanking was the only disincentive that could stop certain seriously bad behavior - revoking privileges, assigning chores, etc. did not solve the problem.

Bad behavior is often not a root problem, but a symptom. Spanking may be the most effective way of treating the symptom (but even that is probably a post hoc rationalization that is not factually supportable), but it mostly adds to, or at best ignores, the underlying problem. Other punitive measures also tend to ignore the problem, though they tend not to make things worse in the way that the use of physical violence does.
A decent developer is ~$15,000/mo after taxes and benefits, give or take. Does the toolkit provide you capability or efficiency gains at 1/30th that which an extra developer would? If so, then it would seem to be well worth it.
Donald Trump (R) proudly proclaimed himself a nationalist at a rally a few days ago. The Party continues to stand behind him. The frog is almost boiled.

At this point, I can no longer spare any empathy for those who identify as Republican and yet somehow feel oppressed. They are directly threatening my country, my way of life, and our collective peace.

The part comparing "Intel Xeon E3 1320 V6" [sic] with older "Intel Xeon E5620" as having the same memory bandwidth, same TDP, more L3 cache, etc., so having "the same performance characteristics" is just plain crazy.

1. Xeon E3 1320 never existed. Was it meant to be 1230?

2. Does DDR4-2400 really have "the same performance characteristics" as DDR3-800 (even after accounting for having 3 channels instead of 2)?

3. How can a 3.5 GHz processor be "the same performance characteristics" as 2.4 GHz one (1.5x more)? Add IPC on top of that.
It's not that high for Seniors. $400k is pretty standard for a Senior at most FANG companies. With Netflix you get it all in cash and that's the major selling point.

Just wanted to clarify one thing, that “we lost the accessibility lead.” There were no accessibility leads until one was designated for the 5.0 release. There were three self-appointed accessibility team reps, one of which decided to step back from the group and blog about it. “Team rep” is largely an administrative role, and as I said before it’s self-appointed. Some teams have 5+ reps, and historically they have not been approved by anyone in WordPress leadership, nor do they connote authority or skill.

That's single frame long exposure, not many frames merged. And as you mention, unless you have a tripod or extremely good low light stabilization, in most cases you'll end up with a bad photo.

I would definitely like to see more with actual people in them, your point about humans moving is fair one, and I'd like to see how it handles them. That's where taking multiple shots and merging them vs a single super long shot would make a big difference, as you can smartly deblur things.
anti drone swarm drone: several dozen large-ish sized x8 hexacopters, capable of 2 hour flight time and carrying a 10kg load, with a gimbal mounted semiauto 12 gauge shotgun + large magazine of birdshot shells.

Drone swarms are possible, sure, but it's also quite possible to miniaturize existing concepts of antiaircraft missiles and guns, and automate those.

Or build swarms of disposable 2 meter wingspan size drones that can fly above a drone swarm, and drop chaff consisting of long lengths of fishing line. Tangle propellers.

Basically something like this, which is a bit smaller than the Zipline drones:

> They might have, but it's also entirely possible they would have decided it wasn't worth it

That's an enormous assumption based on zero evidence. The only resource the NSA is limited by is time. Money and man power (up to diminishing returns) are effectively limitless.

They were trying to skip a step, but there's absolutely no reason to believe they could have (and would have) done without through reverse engineering the binary. The NSA guy implied time was the major factor, and wanting the source certainly implies that was the case.

The vast majority of revenue in the WordPress ecosystem is made by hosts other than WP.com. Everyone in the WP ecosystem benefits from increased usage, as it drives more plugins, more themes, more demand for agencies and developers, more books and tutorials about WordPress, et al. It’s all part of the virtuous cycle that has led to WP’s success so far. I’d be far more worried about the WP ecosystem if it started getting smaller and the various constituents were fighting over a shrinking pie.

That's a rather unnecessary ad hominem.

What you should consider in your rage against trademarks is that they protect something far weaker than copyrights and patents. Trademarks are fundamentally exchangeable identifiers. They do not hold any value beyond what they are infused with due to their attachment to some company (person/organisation/...). Unlike patents, which cordon off the part of scientific reality from most, or copyright, which fundamentally relies on deadweight losses to make its mechanism work, trademarks are almost exclusively positive: there is nothing you gain from calling your product "Mongo-X" apart from the meaning the term carries based on the company creating the product.

(This slightly glosses over some practicalities, such as some terms having meaning before being adopted as a trademark, or the possible depletion of combinations of letters that can be pronounced. But those are just superficial practicalities, and they are acknowledged in various limits to trademarks).
This is much more interesting than all of this soap opera about Theo.

What we see in this commit, regression, and vuln is that the X server is an enormous setuid program with tons of code and zero tests. The "fix" also does not contain any tests that could have detected the problem, so it's just a continuation of what is now a quarter-century of bad software engineering practices.

MOBAs are a bit more dynamic I find that most RTSs, and simple for audiences to understand - starcraft in particular ended up playing much more like chess, with a fairly established early/midgame going towards an endgame, assuming no major mistakes were made. MOBAs just have a lot more variables not only in the team composition but also communication and teamplay - combined they make for a lot more dynamic strategies (closer to basketball than chess).
Neither of those are especially effective. According to clinical studies they reduce duration of symptoms by one day.

So I would not expect a combination of them to do much either.

They may factor those things in, but that doesn't mean they factor them in correctly or that their calculation ends up matching the realities of many middle-class people these days. From medical-illness-caused bankruptcies to crippling student loan debt to declining home ownership (by equity and age of first purchase), there are common realities that don't mesh with the CPI statistics that are calculated/released. You can argue that the CPI deals with averages and for every horror story of un-repayable student loan, savings-zapping cancer or hot housing market that makes purchasing a pipe dream for the majority of residents there are people who graduate college, get a job that pays well enough to repay their loans in time to save up and buy a home before starting a family and avoiding serious illnesses, but then is that statistic really useful in the face of so many people struggling?
