What a refreshing response. Even though I can appreciate the value that monetizing a product has for the users of that product (updates and continued support), it’s nice to be reminded that we don’t have to monetize every project we engage with. Believe it or not, sometimes people just want to give back. Thanks for your efforts. That being said, when a project becomes popular enough that people are all but throwing money at you, don’t be afraid to do them a favor and provide paid support if you are so inclined.
It's hard to see where anyone is being 'taken advantage' of here. If you put your code on github with an open license, you are letting people to have their way with it. This is like if Tim Berners Lee were mad that Google 'stole' his internet and made a lot of money off it.

Also the DCGAN architecture is from Chintala et al, and that itself is based on work by Goodfellow et al. Where does this end? Does Robbie Barrat 'own' the DCGAN NN architecture now?

I don't think we'd write software to do that (how would it recognize misleading titles?), and when intervening manually we can simply edit the title to not be misleading. That's what the site guidelines ask submitters to do, and what moderators do when we become aware of the problem.

When users have flagged an otherwise good article because of a bad title, we often turn off flags once the title has been fixed.

If you notice a misleading title that hasn't been edited, you can always let us know at hn@ycombinator.com.

2000 kcal/day is about 100 watts. You should start with 100,000 watts of carbohydrates rather than 10,000. (I'm guessing that your eye skipped a zero and you carried the error forward; it's an easy mistake to make.)

"you don't know what you're talking about here"

You literally repeated exactly what I said image stacking was, yet lead off by claiming that I don't know what I'm talking about. Classic.

The goal of both is to achieve the exact same result -- more photons for a given pixel. Stacking is a necessary compromise under certain circumstances -- lack of sufficient stabilization, particularly noisy sensor or environment, etc.

Further, this implementation is clearly long exposures (note the blur rather than strobe).

On one hand quantitative data seems to suggest spanking had zero merit. 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. The more extreme examples involved actions that put siblings in the ER, or behavior that would easily get kid expelled. I think it's possible for spanking to be ineffective in aggregate, but effective from the point of view of parents. If you need to stop your child from doing something right now because it could seriously impact their future life prospects, it may be a worthwhile trade-off to risk the chance that a child adopts more aggressive (but not intolerably so) behavior down the road. I'd be interesting in seeing the types and magnitude of behavior that instigated the spanking vs. the behavior spanked children do later in childhood.

While the quantitative data seems to suggest spanking is negative, the question still remains: when all other disciplinary options are exhausted, what can a parent do to stop truly intolerable behavior? The article suggests using other options, but does not list any.

Night Sight works perfectly fine on the Pixel 1.

> Why? Because 99.9999% of smartphone photos in real use (e.g. not in a review), give or take 100%, are of people. People move. Long exposures just lead to bad outcomes and blurred people.

I tested Night Sight with pictures of people and it also works fine in those cases. Even pictures takes with the front camera (without a tripod, etc.) look great.

Particularly twisted for a company obsessed with how their users are supposedly misbehaving and need controlled and censored, while the company runs wild in disgusting abuses.

Not surprising however, given their extraordinary monopoly power and what that type of power always seems to lead to. The people that run Alphabet have been operating in a power bubble the likes of which few ever experience in a business environment. Larry Page being missing in action[1], detached, is just another of the many symptoms of that power bubble. As many others have noted here, this sort of widespread abuse and the culture that protects it, starts at the top. It's time for much of Alphabet's leadership to be removed. Or given that the share structure makes that very difficult to accomplish, an attempt at least should be made to permanently alter the corporate structure so the culture can be changed for the better. Enough investor pressure would probably yield positive results.

A teaspoon of concentrated syrup is enough, you aren't likely to get any additional benefit from eating more than that. But if you did you wouldn't experience any negative side effects, people eat elderberry pies all the time. You just never see them sold commercially because they're such a pain to make that it would be like $200 for a pie, and they don't really taste any better than blueberries. And because of where they grow (edge of streams and ponds) there is a very good chance of falling and hurting yourself while trying to forage them.
However, a married person who is polyamorous is either a serial liar or in an open marriage. It’s reasonable to infer the latter since it is the least offensive.
I love old hardware. I have a Pentium II box I've been upgrading for fun. It dual boots Win98 and OpenBSD from two CF cards, and can serve many contemporary application stacks. It's enjoyable knowing these big old chips can still turn out a lot of functionality even if it's just recreational.
Which is completely bogus. Absence of evidence, when evidence is expected is indeed (possibly weak) evidence of absence.

The stronger "absence of proof is proof of absence" would be fallacious.
Just why. I happen to enjoy living on planet Earth. Going to Mars has always sounded to me like an excuse to continue trashing the perfect planet we already have. Of course in that scenario it becomes inevitable to colonize Mars. But god what a sick unspoken premise that is.

>This does not mean that everything is fine in the American economy. There are special privileges reserved for the rich that help them reduce their risk of downward mobility — financial bailouts are the most egregious example.

That is such an important thing to note. It's so important to make an even playing field. Equal opportunities allow people to climb that ladders. The economy does much better when people are able to take risks,like start businesses. Also business opportunities open up when the big incumbents fail. To me, the financial bailouts are the worst thing to happen to the economy in a long time. Risks were taken by investment companies and they shifted the burden of those risks not working out on to the tax payer, that is so wrong.
no proposals, the review feedback and author response to the review are published. Here is an example: https://elifesciences.org/articles/35082#SA2

Peer review at elife works slightly differently. The author(s) are not subjected to multiple rounds with multiple reviewers, instead the review feedback from the peer reviewers is aggregated by the editorial staff before being sent back to the author. There may be multiple rounds of this however.
To be clear, if I met a transgender person I wouldn't know what to make of their gender. So if they told me which pronouns to use I would just use them. (Well, provided they weren't made up words...)

But what if someone strongly believes that biological sex and gender are inseparable? I suspect that the majority of the planet believes there is only male and female, and that it's fixed at birth. That doesn't seem so hateful to me.

The whole point of this is that you (or codes of conduct, or communication guidelines) cannot both insist on accepting other peoples' pronouns and also claim not to discriminate on the basis of personal beliefs. You have to choose one or the other, and I think it's more reasonable to choose the latter in most cases.

Colons in computer science paper titles
The very article linked notes that moving subjects like people turn into a blur. Of the various submarine stories about this, I've seen a single picture of a kid, and the kid is blurred (despite standing as still as they can).

Your Pixel 1 likely sets a ceiling on the exposure time. The results may be great to you, but I doubt they compare to a Pixel 3. And of course in all of these cases about these great photos, there are zero examples from any other devices. Just with and without on a Pixel device.
We used FIXME to denote temporary changes that shouldn't be checked in, or sections which hadn't been written yet, and had a Git hook which stopped code being committed with that tag. (It also looked for 'console.log' and 'debugger' statements in our JS and blocked those, too.)
> Sure, but if you're terminated for cause you shouldn't receive anything.

But Rubin probably wasn't terminated for cause, but nudged to resign.

> The $90 million was for Google to keep the story quiet and to keep Rubin from working for a competitor.

The $90 million was probably to prevent a protracted legal battle Google wasn't guaranteed to win; senior executives typically have fairly strong exit guarantees in individual contracts; people talk about it being hard to fire people under union contracts, but doing so under executive contracts (without paying the pre-negotiated severance and adhering to the likely-present mutual non-disparagement clause) is at least as difficult.
Following up on my comment because this is driving me nuts...

His aggressive diatribe manner of speaking seems all too ubiquitous these days, as we find ourselves conducting the vast majority of our communications with the 'hivemind' on platforms where ability to attract attention wins out over quality discourse.

And it's just fucking impossible to have any real conversation in that context. There's no room to entertain subtleties, the higher-order structure of the subject, if you will.

For instance.... he makes it out like everyone involved in this prize is absolutely clueless about thermodynamics and that there are no conceivable advancements to be made for this particular scenario because thermodynamics.

Bullshit. There's plenty of innovation to be had. You can take advantage of daily temperature swings, use a ground-source heat pump... and almost certainly current humidifiers aren't operating at the thermodynamic limit; there's probably work to do in developing better materials, optimizing the design for efficiency, etc

The main point I was making here was also that there's actually TWO DIFFERENT ESCAPING MECHANISMS at work here. percent encoding AND html entity encoding. If this was a javascript property assignment, I might even need to add in backslash encoding. You're supposed to entity encode the ampersand in a query string as &amp;. If you don't, some text editors will even highlight it as a syntax error for you.

the fact that ampersand was chosen as a query term seperator for URLs, knowing that they're also a special character in html that introduce entitity encodings, seems like it was a bit shortsighted. Browsers won't complain about an unencoded ampersand in a URL, but the the html validators will.

Historically, semicolon ; is also supposed to work as a query term seperator, (in particular, for map coordinates!), and you wouldn't need to entity encode it. but this is such an obscure and historical factoid that it is not consistently implemented, and you can only use it if you know everything handling that url will definitely cope with it correctly.

fun factoid: I once broke Ruby On Rails by convincing DHH using semicolons in query strings was a good idea. Apparently some older versions of safari, and certain proxies broke down when encountering them.
Thats exactly how our legal dept intepreted it when it was announced. It took me several days to calm them down, including having to write up a migration plan to mitigate the risk.

Real-time aggregations over a stream of data where we may have multiple servers writing a partial aggregation to the same row. With FDB I can safely read data, merge it with my in-memory copy, and then write the final result back. That's only for our complex aggregations, such as HyperLogLog and T-Digests. For the easier things like COUNT I can just use the ADD mutation. For SUM of doubles, I can use APPEND_IF_FITS to keep each partial aggregation as a "running log" of partial sums in a single row.

Sorry, but no - stacking is as much about dynamic range adaptation as noise, and that's why I'm arguing against your terming it a "ghetto version of a long exposure". It's not. A long exposure has a fundamental problem with saturation, as well as noise. It's not just about lack of stabilization, there's also the motion of the subject. Computational approaches can compensate for subject motion - long exposures cannot. Computational approaches can do dynamic range adaptation to avoid blow-out due to CCD pixel saturation. Long exposures cannot.

If you read the slides from the Levoy talk I cited, you'll note that they explicitly choose to under-expose the individual exposures to minimize motion blur and blowout.

(Marc is now at Google continuing his work on computational photography, and his group contributes to many of the cool things you see on the Pixel series.)

MakaJs is based on React and can use all React controls. The only difference is to use json to express UI. From Json's tree structure, we can clearly know what the ui is.
Funny how it has come to this. There’s a common refrain at google. Reliance to regressive change is branded change aversion. It utterly misses the point. If you change something it damn well better be better. Because change forces your user to re-learn.
Actively making things worse for no benefit (like the latest gmail update) is the final stage of “that’s just change aversion” mentality.
2、Redux -- difficult to learn
Redux is a best implementation of Flux, but it is difficult for beginners to get started. It proposes concepts such as connect, action, reducer, dispatch, store, middleware, etc.

I think the point is that your rule implies that dating anyone in a consensual, non-coercive way implies that relationship is wrong[0] given certain contextual circumstances. That people, when they break up go on to do toxic and terrible things isn't and shouldn't be an indictment of the original relationship or sexual interaction if it was consensual and non-coerced rather of instead of critiquing the toxic behavior after the relationship.

Therefore, if we must not consider the resultant behavior separate from the relationship before it, then you are making a moral[0] judgement on the validity of relationships.

Consider the following: being coerced into a relationship and consenting because you fear being fired. That is clearly coercive and wrong because the consent isn't genuine, and I don't think anyone in this thread is arguing is worth being protected. A second situation: two people with mutual attraction who end up dating (like Melinda and Bill Gates) but have a power differential. It sounds like you are saying this is a priori wrong, even if the two consent and neither party feels coerced, or that one is coerced even if they believe sincerely that they are not being coerced.

Even if you don't say it is morally wrong, you still will forbid and prohibit such relationships, adults whom aren't you and who might not have the same value judgements you have. That's why it isn't so clear cut to me and others in this thread.

[0] I say wrong and moral, because this is an argument about morality, fundamentally.
3、Single page web application(SPA) -- very confusing file structure
We normally use a technical perspective to classify files, components, actions, reducers, middleware. Whereas the business developer is usually responsible for developing a module. If the files are scattered everywhere, the maintenance complexity is increased, and developers need to debug to determine if all the code on the website is correct.
Howdy — lead of WordPress here. When the article was written in January of 2018, I would agree Gutenberg wasn't ready for core. Ten months later, it's come a long way. There have been 41 public releases of Gutenberg, and close to 600,000 sites are using it already. It's the mostly widely tested (and adopted) new feature code we've had in any release of WordPress in my memory. It might not be for everyone, which is why we created the Classic Editor plugin which you can install today, and when 5.0 comes out in a few weeks your site will look and work pretty much exactly like it does today, and you can migrate to Gutenberg at your leisure, or perhaps not at all. (There are lots of ways to post and interact with WordPress, including the command line via wp-cli.)

A big advantage of blocks is they will allow us to simplify many of the different concepts and interfaces throughout WordPress, including our old WYSIWYG sorta-blocks, shortcodes, widgets, menus, and embeds of all types. It solves literally hundreds of interactions where people used to get stuck in our old WYSIWYG and either switch to code view to fix things, or just give up. Like all software, the 5.0 release of WordPress isn't a finish line, it's a starting one. We are already planning for 5.1 and beyond (including minimum PHP updates) and we look forward to bringing the fast, public iteration cycle that Gutenberg has demonstrated to more parts of core.

I was hoping someone would make another javascript framework, this is great.
I’m guessing that React is keeping track of the current component instance that is executing when the hook is called, instead of JavaScript keeping track of what ‘this’ is bound to when ‘this.setState’ is called. One could say that both systems are “magic,” but it looks like the React team considers the behavior of ‘this’ in JavaScript to be a source of confusion for React developers.
