Even if you could afford to run enough ferries to make a dent, which you can’t, they simply don’t have the bandwidth.

Some people tried to make the math work for the L shutdown and even if you had a line of ferries just following each other as close as safely possible it wouldn’t be nearly enough. Subways are incredibly efficient at moving large numbers of people.

It's more than just shutting up the boy's club, and you alluded to it. I think it is important to shed light on the fact that she is a female founder because there are lots of young girls out there that need to see that someone like them, at least in one respect, can achieve something like this.
Don’t be an ass. It’s really not cool to validate your extreme position with an unstated straw man.
The possibilities that come to mind are:

1. We happen to be first.

2. They are on their way.

I currently use http://mynoise.net which has a huge number of various sounds by a research/sound engineer.

I'd try this if I could without creating an account. Maybe I'm missing an immediate test somewhere (start listening now makes me create an account).

Also please add google/github auth. I'm really over making accounts everywhere, especially if I'm just trying something out to see if I'll use it, a lot of us are no longer (or never were) fb users. You definitely want more options available.

Any solution that doesn't involve allowing the market to make housing more affordable, and relies only of funneling taxpayer money to public housing, is doomed to be crushed under the perverse incentives it creates.
The same way we distinguish the shadows cast in Plato's cave from the objects occluding the light. The more situations in which a theory or model makes accurate predictions, the more correct it is. Epicycles are much, much more wrong than mathematically perfect elliptical orbits.
From what I gather from reading stuff on the internet, it appears to be "well developed" relative to what is generally happening elsewhere. Given the state of things elsewhere, it absolutely doesn't surprise me to hear that's a low bar to meet and the perspective from inside seems less than impressive.

The Earth is demonstrably not a "stationary" (inertial) frame, in the sense that it's constantly accelerating.

Is there a deeper meaning to "Consider the speed of light in the Andromeda galaxy" that I missed? The speed of light is known to be constant in every reference frame.

> Are people so obsessed with monetary success that they'll sacrifice the joy of programming and computer science to watch Casey Neistat's vlog four times in a row? I guess my priorities are totally out of order.

Alternative take:

Programming is a job, and an often frustrating one at that. I could be be programming all day, and every bit could help push my career (and financial success) forward... but I'd rather not be obsessed with monetary success, and instead choose to relax to video or two of whimsical goofball doing his thing.

RSA keys are significantly larger than elliptic curve keys, so for something like putting a pubkey in a QR code, you're much better off going with a 256 bit elliptic curve key than any other hacks to try shave bytes off encoding RSA keys.

You're ignoring a whole lot of differences between the current and previous administration. There's a slightly outdated summary at https://www.govdocs.com/webinar-recap-trump-administration-a....

Among the highlights are minimum wage increases, OSHA enforcement, transparency requirements for government contractors and a whole lot more.

Appointments to the Labour Board, as well as to the courts, could have rather significant impact on precedent. As but one issue that will be central in the near future is the treatment of Uber drivers and similar, and their classification as contractors/employees. A two-seats swing on the Supreme Court is almost guaranteed to have changed the outcome of that trial when it eventually reaches the court.

As to the "social issues" mentioned by OP, it makes me a bit uneasy to see them commonly referred to as separate from labor law. Workplace anti-discrimination law is obviously labor law as well. It may not affect you or me. But neither does the minimum wage. When the latter is considered "labor law" and the former isn't, I wonder what the reason for this sort of "othering" can be.

The Department of Energy was only created in 1977. Eliminating the department isn't the same thing as discarding its functions en masse.

The more interesting discussion would be about the particular motivations for the creation and proposed dissolution of the department, rather than a cursory dismissal of the idea.
In the Philippines the notary is the scam. Only lawyers can be notaries. The lawyers association (the Bar) for each jurisdiction sets the fee. Any lawyer caught charging lower than the standard fee is subject to sanctions. And what's the fee? It's a percent of the value of the contract. For land sales it's typically 2-3% in most jurisdictions. And of course, this scam hits the poor the hardest. They get stuck paying these preposterous fees while the rich just cut deals with the attorneys.

But the typesetting took such a dive downhill!
Thats exactly the type of code that should be unit tested. The unit tests are trivially easy to write, and a very naive solution is easy to code up. The tests should take up a negligible overhead in your overall test suite runtime. Then when it comes time to optimize the code because its becoming a bottleneck you can be confident that the more obscure solution is correct.

Thanks, I saw that same value after a quick search but wasn't sure about it. That seems a bit high.

So if you have 128 gb, you would expect 128/104 ~ 2.5 bitflips per week, about every other day?
Flying on Thanksgiving Day is a joy. I've done it twice now. The ATL concourses are practically empty. It is a bit strange to see the flight boards almost empty on a Thursday morning.

I do bring $5 Starbucks gift cards for the entire crew of every flight I'm on to thank them for having to work on a day when most of the country is with family. It's not much, but it's something. The folks flying on holidays are low on the seniority list, so they're generally working that day because they have to, not because they want to.

Since you mention Bayesian methods, I thought I may randomly ask you - have you come across any good work about applications of subjective Bayesian statistics in AI?

I was particularly interested in subjective Bayes theory due to the way it seems to interleave human input with mathematical theory.

I first learned about it from a non-fiction book in which these techniques were used by scientists in the US to locate Russian ICBMs that were test-fired during the Cold War and landed in the ocean. The wisdom of experts was quantified and fed into a simple Bayesian subjective probability calculation which lead to prioritization of target areas to investigate and the US located on either the first or second try - I can't recall. I've seen a few other interesting applications of this as well.

I'm not an expert in this area, but you sound like you might be - so I thought I'd take the change to ask :)
Regulations increase the value of goods and services by creating predictability. Competition reduces the cost of goods.
I'm neither upset nor in China; just pointing out that if you expand your definition of the "developed world" beyond Europe and the US, the NYC MTA goes from "insanely cheap" to comparably priced or even mildly expensive :)
That's fine, but what happens to your R&D costs? Is everybody using the product contributing?

Example: a HW company spends millions, if not hundreds of millions, on developing a new chip/board, expecting the investment to be returned on sales. China steals the IP, and starts manufacturing and selling before them. Company loses all investment on R&D.

Example: pharma company spends hundreds of millions developing a new drug, including decade-long, gruesome FDA approval, expecting to return the investment on sales, including China. Someone steals the documents on manufacturing it. China starts producing the generic before the company even obtains permission. China patents the generic there, so chances for sales in a 1.2 billion economy are zero. India probably follows. Why bother then?

Bribes buy influence. “Payments to campaign” buy influence. Unlimited “payments to campaign” buy unlimited influence. With a given amount of resources at the congressman’s office, unlimited “payments to the campaign” buy up influence at the expense of other constituents. Which is what bribes do. Before Citizens United, I may have agreed with you. Not anymore.

Ask HN: Have you ever regretted working on a product?
Sometimes it's hard to see in the moment that a product will be used for evil or will have a negative effect on people. Can you look back on any of your work now and wish you didn't do it?
Right, I think I understand what you are saying about "pipelined" implementations. Sure, I can believe that at a high level there are some indirect branches to implement some kind of processing pipeline: but you'd have thousands or millions of instructions doing the heavy lifting for each chunk of data that passes though the pipeline, for every branch that you need to take to get to the next stage.

So I still doubt that that indirect branches are "dense" in those benchmarks: it just doesn't make sense since the core work they are doing are highly tuned encode/decode/whatever kernels, even if there is a control layer over top of that using indirect branches.
Ask HN: Is there a meta-list of works considered valuable?
Amidst all the noise on the internet it would be helpful if there was some central resource like this especially for books, but why not for films and especially older musical works as well.

Some friends and I experimented with this when running a CTF a few years back. We figured out that setting some of the Chinese Remainder Theorem values in the private key to zero, we could stuff it into a QR code and read it when printed using a receipt printer.
No, actually, there's no difference.
A 2018 iPhone X is vastly more powerful than a 2008 iPhone 3G, whereas the performance improvement of laptops slowed dramatically after that point.

Take a copy of a standard 2008 version of Ubuntu desktop and try and install it on a 1998 laptop. I doubt it’d run at all, not without ditching the default desktop.
There are few things I get more enjoyment out of than driving a car that corners well through a beautiful mountainous road like the Blue Ridge Parkway through the Appalachian, or up through Yosemite from Fresno.

When I need to clear my head, I still hop in the car and go for a drive with music. Not also afraid to admit -- I've had some of my most cathartic, emotional-cleansing crys in the vehicle by myself.

In this day and age where there are fewer and fewer places to go to truly be alone with one's own thoughts, sometimes my vehicle is my own personal sanctuary.
This is, frankly, bullshit.
You should check out the CGI TV series. It was very good, IMHO.

This comment is unfortunately so wrong on many levels. I live for 12 years in China and work in systems security.

For the hotels, "easy to find" for you -> easy to find for the police. China is actively resisting people moving around without tracing them, so please rest assured those "spy" hotels are the first ones to file everything about you to the local police unit. I know of several anecdotal cases.

For years and years, all mopeds and scooters require plates. You can buy fake plates on Taobao, but it's a great way to get into a very big trouble, especially if you're a foreigner.

Every train and every long-distance bus are ticketed with original ID only. Maybe in some small rural train station, you can buy with a photoshopped passport copy, but certainly not in Tier-3+ cities.

In 12 years I've never ever heard of "4am" police checks. They come sometimes, they're very polite. You don't even have to open the door for them, and they will never break the door unless there is a fire or a distress call. Chinese police are lazy and wrong on many levels, but they're very very far from the Western media portrayal.

Chinese name tip is a joke. You will be registered everywhere with your passport name, and nobody ever asks for a Chinese name.
Thanks for your answer. I think I initially misunderstood the intended purpose of this tool (probably because of how many times the word RPC appears in the text) and assumed it was used for backend-to-backend communication, for which HTTP/JSON seemed extremely sub-optimal given the existing open-source solutions.

While it does make a lot more sense in the context of FE<->BE, the second part of your answer, where you speak about consistency of APIs across many services is still a little confusing, as it suggests BE<->BE communication again. Unless you have a huge, monolithic, internet/browser-facing service (which sounds rather undesirable) it's hard to imagine how browser<->middleware API could get out of hand to the point where it requires a dedicated unification framework.

Rephrasing my question - even though Conjure is not a commercial product (respect to Palantir for contributing to opensource) you must have had a target audience in mind for it: who is it? What exactly is the problem that Conjure is solving better than its existing alternatives?
people become that commodity, expendable, something to be taken advantage of by people with capital.

Around where I am, I see plenty of western corporations doing above, even with plenty of natural commodity to extract from.

And no, you simply cannot compare Park Chung Hee with Kim of North Korea to be equally dictatorial/brutal/etc. You simply lose all credibility when you make that assertion, while discussing Korean affairs.

Education was the single most important factor for S. Korea. And successful introduction of market based economy too, how ever troublesome it was. But without educated, competent workforce, nothing will work.

Also, you stated that S. Korea's wealth improved due to enslaving half of the population, and chaebols being given control over affairs in S. Korea.

What about N. Korea? N. Korea enslaved the entire population, with complete control that the chaebols of S. Korea can only dream about. And look where N. Korea is now. Practically a beggar state.
If to expand that line of thought even further we shall conclude that we are alone in observable Universe.

Life as we know it tends to preserve itself - the instinct of self-preservation is the main feature of life. Others are just consequences.

"Hi-order" life will preserve not only one particular incarnation of it but various others too.

So as soon one civilization will pass the filter - it should help others to pass it.

And if we do not see that other hi-order one yet then it means this role is ours and no one is out there.

For humanity "hi-order" state of life is definitely far ahead - long way to go. If not the filter is ahead of us :)

What was once cash in a brown envelope is now the high paid job once they leave office. Envelopes stuffed with cash have become rare, the latter have grown hugely. The net effect on a politician's personal wealth and the likely effects on ethics of public office are similar.

Some sort of politician's equivalent of a ten year non-compete clause seems in order.

I'm personally motivated by computer science for its own sake. I don't understand the viewpoint that it's a path to a monetary reward. I am incredibly lucky that someone pays me for it, gives me free snacks, and does my dry cleaning, but before that I was just as happy in grad school eating ramen, uncovering the mysteries of computation.

I see Neistat as junk food, empty calories designed to keep us addicted to that which gives us no nourishment. What relaxes me is getting to code on my own time, without deadlines. I don't care if anyone uses my code, I do it for myself.

Donating to a campaign is far from the only way to buy influence. I can donate to a politicians charity or invite them to an all expenses paid speaking engagement where I also pay a speaking fee.

Im both of these examples the politician will have MUCH more discretion in how to spend the money.
It suffers from the fallacy of petitio principii, in that it assumes arguendo that consciousness is comprised of neurons (and, as mentioned above, that a neuron is less complex than consciousness.)
But it's not stated as an 'argument' in any case so perhaps the term fallacy was out-of-place.

So the fact that some CP sites have "keep out the feds by requiring OC" requirements is evidence that there would be a pay market for CP if it was decriminalized. I don't think I agree with this...

It's pretty easy to make the opposite argument, in fact. People want access to CP, either because they're sick, they're in the age range in question, whatever, and so they go to the only place that has it available - darknet sites that require OC to view. So they go out and create more to gain access, harming kids.

Right now, the way to gain access to CP is to create CP, which of course incentivizes creating more. This is arguably worse than the world in which it's available to all.

I use them a coupla' times a week and find the focus mode quite good.

Wish I had thought to listen to sleep mode last night between 3 and 6 AM while I was tossing and turning in bed.

As someone mentioned below, I could put together a Spotify list but why? Brain.fm does the job and I don't need to.

When I need to focus, my two choices are Brain.fm or "Ok, Google. Play some downtempo ambient chill instrumental". The latter oftentimes distracts me. The former doesn't.

I was having some technical difficulties with the site (not the apps) a while back. The head of the company was helping me to debug the problem. Great customer service. Turned out it was something on my end.

I too landed the lifetime subscription.

Highly recommended!
Good to know; thanks!
