Mr. Shrem...has said in recent interviews that he went to prison with almost no money.”

What an idiot. Right out of jail, owes the feds hundreds of thousands of dollars, and can’t help but conspicuously consume.

Yeah, and in theory you can do so in-call as well. I've found both methods to be unreliable.
I don't know much personally about SAR applications. But in terms of the projects I've done, the temperature and size of the target is fairly predictable compared to noise in the image. While it's not as easy as "filter anything above this temperature as a positive", it's an easier engineering program than 3D navigation.

> I'd love to hear more about cases in which IR has made a difference in a search, because that hasn't been my experience or what I've heard about it.

Here's another link where IR was used to find seven missing people, same trial program: https://bc.ctvnews.ca/a-b-c-first-heat-seeking-drone-used-in...

While looking more into this though, they mentioned that one of the things the program found is that the drones are not good at seeing through tree canopies. This is surprising for me, and I suppose answers my question about why this MIT project has some benefit! I stand corrected in that regard.

> There are some environments where IR might help, but many more where it doesn't.

Absolutely. There's no magic solution for finding people. The project here is going to have pros and cons too, you need experienced people to know what tool makes sense where.
Think about how many cross-platform products Microsoft itself is working on. And how many engineers it has that are already proficient in .NET and C#...

Another example was when Steve said 7-inch tablets were "too small" and you'd need to file-down your fingers to use them (not sure what you'd need to operate 3.5-inch iPhones then). He said this while Apple had the 8-inch iPad mini in development.

SJ was a salesman - he'd say untrue things to make his product look good, like trash-talking 5.5-inch phones(!) and saying "no-one wants 'Hummer' phones" while - you guessed it - Apple had larger phones in the pipeline, because the demand was there.
> Social consensus, however, doesn't affect the standard 'malicious' double-spend cheat. You're not going to get social consensus forming around an obvious 'criminal' behavior.

You haven’t refuted my point with any evidence. I’ve shown how one could spend a digital token twice by taking advantage of weak social consensus (see my Luke DashJr example). This attack bypasses Nakamoto consensus. You don’t need any hashrate or material wealth to pull this off, you just need social capital... or a wrench https://xkcd.com/538/

Conditions like "must log in to a Google account to use this" and "must agree that Google can harvest your private data for financial gain so we can pay off those executives" yes that is harmful.
There seems to be a lot of quasi-religious elements in the debate. Everybody thinks that one is well designed but can't strongly articulate why, and someone else believes the opposite to be true.

Linus has often pointed out the huge pain that the fragmentation of the ecosystem causes that is often uncritically identified as a choice.

Yes, converging towards standards is almost always a pain point for someone, but the ecosystem overall benefits from having much less ground to cover. And honestly, objectively almost any of the large mature DE's seems to be feature rich enough to use as a starting point.
Thanks, I looked more into this and agree you're correct here.
I wonder if this done on purpose or ignored for the reasons you just mentioned

that's easy to do if you're driving a car and you get pulled over, but what if a cop stops you on the street? reaching into your pocket is asking to get shot.

> The tech giants today are by their own actions cultivating the motivation and the will to necessitate the creation of their own challengers and everybody is watching closely what works and what doesn’t.

And this is why I find the trend towards deplatforming to be altogether _exciting_. I haven't been this _excited_ about potential changes in how we communicate since I first installed Skype; when it was still P2P.

There hasn't been this much social pressure on individuals with technical ability for some time, and sufficiently many appear to be attempting to turn that pressure into new ways to communicate. Safely, securely, and in a way that is resilient to outside attempts to silence.

Our current state of affairs is distressingly centralized; we have but a handful of _enormous_ silos of personal information and communication, and progressively less independent sources of content distribution. While it may seem a non-issue when it's ethnic supremacists and fascists being silenced; it's a situation precariously vulnerable to abuse by the powerful. These experiments in decentralized communication and data storage couldn't come any sooner.
No, but they will be isolated, and an isolated person is powerless person.

Adoption does not and has never followed from technical superiority. The tech industry today would be almost unrecognizable if it did.
Speaking of the project files, the new csproj format is my favorite thing. We used to always get conflicts in them, and now we basically never do.
For anyone wanting the full quote from Popper's The Open Society:

"Less well known is the paradox of tolerance: unlimited tolerance must lead to the disappearance of tolerance. If we extend unlimited tolerance even to those who are intolerant, if we are not prepared to defend a tolerant society against the onslaught of the intolerant, then the tolerant will be destroyed, and tolerance with them.

In this formulation, I do not imply, for instance, that we should always suppress the utterance of intolerant philosophies; as long as we can counter them by rational argument and keep them in check by public opinion, suppression would certainly be most unwise.

But we should claim the right to suppress them if necessary even by force; for it may easily turn out that they are not prepared to meet us on the level of rational argument, but begin by denouncing all argument; they may forbid their followers to listen to rational argument, because it is deceptive, and teach them to answer arguments by the use of their fists or pistols.

We should therefore claim, in the name of tolerance, the right not to tolerate the intolerant. We should claim that any movement preaching intolerance places itself outside the law, and we should consider incitement to intolerance and persecution as criminal, in the same way as we should consider incitement to murder, or to kidnapping, or to the revival of the slave trade, as criminal.

Another of the less well-known paradoxes is the paradox of democracy, or more precisely, of majority-rule; i.e. the possibility that the majority may decide that a tyrant should rule. That Plato’s criticism of democracy can be interpreted in the way sketched here, and that the principle of majority-rule may lead to self-contradictions, was first suggested, as far as I know, by Leonard Nelson (cp. note 25 (2) to this chapter).

I do not think, however, that Nelson, who, in spite of his passionate humanitarianism and his ardent fight for freedom, adopted much of Plato’s political theory, and especially Plato’s principle of leadership, was aware of the fact that analogous arguments can be raised against all the different particular forms of the theory of sovereignty.

All these paradoxes can easily be avoided if we frame our political demands in the way suggested in section ii of this chapter, or perhaps in some such manner as this. We demand a government that rules according to the principles of equalitarianism and protectionism; that tolerates all who are prepared to reciprocate, i.e. who are tolerant; that is controlled by, and accountable to, the public. And we may add that some form of majority vote, together with institutions for keeping the public well informed, is the best, though not infallible, means of controlling such a government. (No infallible means exist.)"

>Trump isn't the first person to talk about having a military presence in space

The U.S. even researched (and in some cases developed prototype) weapons for space, not just SDI/Star Wars stuff either.

Stuff out of the Future Weapons Office, some of which can be found in the declassified "The Meanderings of a Weapon Oriented Mind When Applied in a Vacuum Such as on the Moon" like 'a spin stabilized micro gun', 'spin/fin stabilized sausage gun', 'sausage gun #2', 'directed gas weapon for close in fighting', 'spring propelled spherical projectile', 'gas cartidge gun', 'gas operated needle gun'.

The Soviets even sent conventional firearms into space like the triple-barreled TP-82, 2 barrels in 28 gauge and a rifled barrel in 5.45x39mm, although this was more for survival upon re-entry in remote Russia. HOWEVER they did develop a prototype laser pistol in the 80's that used a pyrotechnic flashbulb for disabling optical sensors on spacecraft, basically let a cosmonaut out for an EVA, get within 20 meters of the sensor and fire.

It's so strange to me, because they're not trying to change my mind or present their side. The assumption in the texts is that Im definitely on their side and just needed to be reminded 6 times a day where my polling place is and when the election is.

It shouldnt take a cambridge analytica person to tell you that people who have bought Friend of the Pod shirts likely aren't conservative voters. They clearly need more of my data lol.
Sadly not, IBM PC clones are software compatible from the BIOS up, Android phones are not. It is an absolute nightmare to install a newer version of the OS or to get another OS ported onto an Android phone. There is no common device architecture, OEM's violate the GPL constantly and do not release kernel sources.

Smartphones are not PC's, they're just hobbled embedded devices.
TBH Cook seems rather miserly. There seems to be a "Bare minimum with the odd cool extra thrown in to give us a USP and maximum margins" approach, and not so much of the "How OMG wow can we make everything we do?" of the Jobs days. (Hit and miss as it was - more hits than misses, IMO.)

It's a fine big pile of beans financially, but ambitions for the future UX and brand image - including support - seem to be shrinking rather than expanding.

Okay. I am a Republican, but I do not understand how our party can have leading candidates who are hereditary billionaires or multimilillionaires, yet trumpet that it is not corrupted by “big money”.

"I'm surprised that you prefer to double press while looking at your phone"

The double-press for Apple Pay? In many situations you don't actually have to do this. Just place the phone up against the store's reader, then look directly at the phone and Apple Pay will activate without further interaction.

On London Underground and Buses, though, that's awkward and might hold up the queue, so I do double-tap to activate Apple Pay in advance before getting to the reader. But that's certainly no more difficult than with Touch ID, when you had to double-tap the home button.

(Also, you don't have to double-press and look simultaneously. The double-press will activate Apple Pay, then a quick glance at the phone will unlock it for payment. You then have a minute or so to actually touch it on the card reader).
I think Surface is part of the future too. I think Surface and iPad will dominate traditional laptop sales in the next decade.

They each represent 2 different opinionated views of productivity/creative-focused computing (just like the 2 different opinions of Android vs iOS in mobile computing). I think you're right that today the Surface does far better in the IO department and IO is a dealbreaker for a lot of people. But again, the world isn't standing still, and Apple just released an iPad Pro with USB-C....that's definitely signaling something.

We don't have to make this a conversation about Apple. I think the whole industry is moving in that direction.

Interestingly, I don't have the same belief in ChromeOS. I don't think it'll ever be truly competitive with the Surface or iPad lineup partly because Microsoft still has a stranglehold on the desktop/laptop market. It'll be easy and tempting to move to a Surface device that can do so much more than ChromeOS without changing your existing workflow from Windows.

Android? Well, Android tablets have languished for a very long time - it's basically a dead market walking. The problem isn't so much the hardware languishing as much as it's the software ecosystem that languishes as a result. Even if the Android ecosystem catches up hardware-wise, it'll be a while before the app ecosystem gets kickstarted again.

He's actually CEO of one of the _least_ valuable car companies, but I get your point.
Depends on the company. Moats extract additional value from customers. I think Google, Apple, and Amazon are all examples of companies that use that extra value to invest in innovation (benefitting customers in the end). Comcast is a great example of a company that doesn’t.
Apple painted themselves into a bit of a quagmire with the iPhone X branding. There's no way to make "iPhone XS" / "iPhone Excess" not sound stupid†.

Personally, I think they should have just called it the new iPhone X. And eventually we'd start differentiating by year (iPhone X 2017), as we have with the iPad and Mac line for quite some time.

†Then again, this is the company that released a product called "iPad" and managed to make us forget how stupid that sounds.
Indeed. The slippery slope is a fallacy, after all; you can in fact take a positive step without worrying about taking negative steps that are so absurdly different as to be almost caricatures.
Define intolerance. That's the whole problem. So being "intolerant of intolerance" is meaningless except as something that signals a different meaning - different lines, different behavior, different standards - to every listener.

Given that just shy of 30 years into this whole Web thing we're seeing it fuel probably the largest wave of white nationalism/authoritarianism/facism since WWII, it seems like that's the exact opposite of how it works.

That's not really true, OS definitely matters with Docker, both on the host and the container. Docker for Windows uses a VM to run Linux containers.
There’s a pattern in business of changing CEOs during different phases of the company lifecycle. They have CEOs for growth, ones for mergers, ones for IPOs and ones for selling out.

When a company is growing if you let yourself get pulled in too many directions you’ll suffocate. But maybe the message becomes “we concentrate on a few important things” and eventually those things become boring. You need a new message before you become stodgy.

There’s also JWZ’s dotcom era theory about people wanting to make a company successful vs people who want to be at a successful company.

Is this actually a good thing with the lack of social safety nets if you get sick or injured? You have to pay payroll tax. Its not like Uber or Grubhub are a good paying job. I guess you have freedom, but one accident can ruin you. If you work for a big company at least you get health, short and longterm insurance etc.

> Define intolerance

That thing everyone except the intolerant seem to understand remarkably well, and the intolerant spend a lot of time quibbling over the definition of in a desperate attempt to derail their inclusion in it.

Or, more seriously: treating other people as unwelcome or hated or less than human, for reasons other than being hateful and intolerant.
I was more interested to see that it dropped btrfs. I wonder what pushed them away from it, in the end.
I don't see that at all. The tone is similar on 4chan, Reddit, Facebook... even the Duolingo board has occassional shitposters. Usenet in the 90s also had trolls on it. It makes little sense to single out journalists, and blame them for Twitter's problems.
Ask HN: Salary for Engineering Manager in Paris?
I currently live in London, where I work as a mid-level Team Lead for a software engineering team of 8 people. My salary is 120k GBP. Looking to move to Paris next year to a similar or slightly higher position as an Engineering Manager, what salary range should I expect? What is a good software team lead/manager salary in Paris?
Sorry, I think consumers are perfectly fine with severe limitations of control over their hardware. The percentage of hacked consumer electronics is slim.

To bolster your point, even if my clothes are drab, I probably have a brightly colored buff or bandana on me intentionally if only to be easier to spot through the woods by fellow hikers. Likewise a fair bit of my gear is in flavors of "rescue orange".
Basically just a more intuitive and polished overall user interface. There was definitely some learning time, but once I'd learned some of the common actions, I found it much simpler to work with. But it's probably something that is subjective, so I can't vouch that everyone will feel the same way (indeed, I have some friends who have switched from iOS to Android and found the latter more intuitive).

Of course, the price issue was a little different for me since I prefer not to replace devices often, so the longer software support actually means if I amortize the cost of the phone over the time that I use it, iPhones actually come out ahead of Android phones on price.
Serverless from the ground up: Connecting Cloud Functions with a database
No argument here :)
Yeah, I've had Windows 10 uninstall my GPU drivers and replace them with 6-month old ones that don't work. I know they're supporting a bizarre variety of different hardware, but regardless of the reasons the software reliability isn't there.

Granted there's some tradeoff with repairs, if your Mac dies you probably can't go on Newegg, get a replacement part, and have it fixed yourself in 2 days. But that tradeoff has worked out well for me so far.
Autonomous drone startup Airobotics raises $30M
No.

I pointed out that hunting isn’t hiking (opinion, but they do have different names), and that regardless hunters regularly wear gear that is anti-camouflage by design, making any distinction there moot.

I then proceeded to point out that hiking gear has reflective tabs and bright colors for similar reasons. The more extreme the gear, the more intense the visibility features on average.

I then made an observation about what I’ve seen.

At no point did I say that any of those groups aren’t “real” hikers. Therefore, not a true Scotsman argument.
As Detroit neighborhoods start gentrifying these are some of the sorts of problems that are happening.

Is anyone curious why he used a park for his garden? A large number of Detroit parks have been quasi-abandoned by the city. That's so their limited funds can be used to maintain parks that are actually being used.

Interesting question! I think you have the right idea: the GloVe or SGNS vector for a word is some composition of the word sense representations. The number of senses for a word isn't necessarily finite either -- one could argue that each possible context a word could appear in denotes a unique word sense.

I suspect that ELMo (and others) work by mapping a word vector to a word sense vector conditioned on the context, which is much larger than what is used in shallow embeddings like GloVe. If GloVe and SGNS are implicitly factorizing word-context matrices containing a co-occurrence statistic like PMI, then ELMo might be implicitly factorizing a (word sense)-(context sense) matrix containing the same co-occurrence statistic. If this is true, then we'd expect the csPMI property to hold at the word sense-level as well. It'd be much harder to prove though, due to the relative complexity of ELMo compared to GloVe/SGNS.
I think you mean "created". Lennart Poettering works at RedHat and presumably created SystemD to solve problems RedHat has.
