I kinda want to re-up my comment from when this story was originally released a week or two ago.

The mass of the world's oceans is 1.4 × 10^21 kg. The mass of the world's atmosphere is 5.1480 × 10^18 kg. So the oceans have a mass that is 272 times as large as the atmosphere. So if they're predicting a 2C rise in the atmosphere, and all that energy went into the ocean, the ocean would warm by 2/272 = 0.0073 degrees.

How is it even possible to measure something so small on something as massive and varied as the ocean?
Google isn't trying to control or limit what people think. They are merely trying to allow advertisers to target audiences

Do you see the juxtaposition here?
But the Indiana engineer has plenty of other remote jobs they can apply for, I see tons on stack overflow every day. Gitlab isn't the only one.
Health products need to be designed with privacy as a core pillar. Just pumped everything to the cloud and then figuring out - was nice a couple of years ago.
Thankfully the laws are catching up and hopefully companies like Google will not only start to comply with them
but actually follow the underlying spirit of these laws.
It's people like you that make people wary of mandatory vaccines.
If it's a US hospital, I would assume, absent specific reason to believe otherwise, that it follows deidentification rules in HIPAA regs if it says that (because it's a crime otherwise), but I'm not all that confident that data deidentified by those rules (especially since certification of a specified qualified expert substitutes for the concrete requirements) is necessarily effectively anonymized.
Most of those features are only relevant for UI stuff and even then you are unlikely to notice the difference since openjdk would include implementations of anything even remotely relevant. Unless you know you need this, you can safely assume you don't.

Here's a good stackoverflow post on the topic (note this is about openjdk 7). Things have only improved since then.

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11547458/what-is-the-dif...

If you are doing any kind of server side deployment, openjdk has been a drop in replacement since the java 7 days. Essentially all linux distributions include it and you have to jump through hoops to get the oracle version.

There are differences between different openjdk builds though. I've ran into issues with certificates a couple of times on Ubuntu. Also they had a strange notion of what is stable and what is not early in the life of java 8. Another issue is the licensing of the test suite. This makes it hard to test your builds. The words certified build, implies that the produced build passes the licensed test suite.
Sure.

Why is the title of the article so disingenuous?

What design do people think they see in nature?

By what method can I, without referring to someone else's authority, decide that a particular part of nature is "designed"? Without an explicit criteria for "design", the whole thing is just arguing over opinions about what is designed and what isn't. That is, it would become just like Behe's "irreducible complexity". No definite criteria for "irreducible" and no measurement for "complexity".

While you're at it, point me to some PDFs of refereed papers written by Dembski. I'm a smart guy, I can read primary sources. The article doesn't point to any, and a quick duckduckgo for "dembski no free lunch" gets me web pages that provide a critique of Dembski's book (and not on information theoretic grounds, either), and his book on Amazon, but nothing I can print and read and digest. No PDFs.

How does Dembski wave off actual examples of artificial evolution? Tierra (http://life.ou.edu/tierra/) seems to evolve little digital pseudo-life that does a specific task. Here's another example: http://www.genetic-programming.com/jkpdf/alife1990.pdf There are more "folksy" reports, too: https://www.allegro.cc/forums/thread/293256 . There's an entire field, genetic algorithms/genetic programming, that actually ends up at least some of the time, evolving a solution to the problem. Adrian Thompson's FPGA experiment (https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Adrian_Thompson5/public...) is pretty famous. Here's a distillation of the above paper with a few interesting editorial comments: https://static.aminer.org/pdf/PDF/000/308/779/an_evolved_cir...

How does Dembski explain how every system that attempts to "evolve" something by successive generations that inherit and have minor changes (https://arxiv.org/abs/1803.03453, which is a summary of many experiments) end up doing something that's undeniably evolution?
Just to be clear，and I'm not saying your missed this distinction, but in case anyone did, I'm not talking about Chinese the race (which technically can be argued as consisting of many races, btw). I'm talking about what the education and state controlled media does to China's citizens who grow up in China.
Tangentially, and anecdotally, I had Tinder-related relations with a Chinese girl studying at Columbia for awhile earlier this year. Definitely very bright. A lot of the conversations we had degenerated into how she thought white people/Europeans have been evil throughout history, especially over the past few centuries, along with other tidbits like Hitler was good and racial genocide is a good idea.

She may have been a bit insane - but, generally, it dawned on me what students in China must be being taught in their homes and at history class. And, yet, tying into this article - the amount of Chinese students, studying at our universities, being taught subjects like AI that they can use to build weapons against us is growing at a superlinear rate.

I noticed Trump was considering banning Chinese from studying here and I've heard various arguments as to why we must allow them to do so, but none of them seem to me even remotely convincing to outweigh the increasingly apparent downsides that may come in the incipient future.

My, perhaps hyperbolic, conclusion is that we're displacing our own students, who may, granted, not be able to score as highly on the Gaokao, in order to line the pockets of a university bubble, and our knowledge that we're imparting may soon be used against us by a totalitarian, imperialistic society that has a cultivated hatred towards us. I hope that politicians take a more hawkish stance on this - even if some universities have to scale down.
Absolutely this. I had someone say "well my phone would be worthless anyways since it would be locked" I laughed at them. I said so your perfectly good screen has no value to me if mine is cracked? Your speaker in the phone worthless? And so on. I am typing this on an iPhone 4s that has had more donor parts then I can even fathom. You can buy unlocked motherboards as well, though with Apple locking things like the home button to the board not entirely sure how that would work but the point stands the phones are definitely with something locked or not.
It's ironic that a site about UI/UX has a 5 seconds black screen during load. This might be due to the HN hug of death however. In either case, a small loader (or similar modern loading indicator pattern) would increase the site's usability by miles.

Edit:

Interesting that this comment is being downvoted. Initial page loading time is not a nitpick, it is the main source of an increased bounce rates.

> "[Users] with an average page load time of 2 seconds view 8.9 pages on average, while those with an average page load time of 7 seconds view only 3.7 pages on average. The number of pages viewed consistently decreases as page speed decreases, and the difference in pages viewed between users averaging 2 second load times and users averaging 4 seconds is 3.x pages. This means that a 2 second delay in page load time could mean a user exits your site 3 pages earlier."¹

Articles upon articles are written on the topic and UI/UX experts have a lot of patterns available to mitigate the issue.

This article showcases a lot of great way one can use to change the perception of a slow loading page: https://medium.com/dev-channel/hacking-user-perception-to-ma...

Thanks! Sorry for misleading comment above, then.
Do you have an example where this happened with a hospital in the past 10 years? The only example anyone's given in this thread so far is from an insurance commission in the mid 1990s.
“That’s simply not possible with SSL”

I agree that we don’t currently know of easy attacks on SSL if you’re pinning certs (which it sounds like Mozilla does here). But all you need is a rogue CA to MITM SSL if you’re not pinning certs, so I don’t think “simply not possible” is an accurate description of SSL as generally used by the broad web-dev community.
Yes, indeed; we implement most of the mainline POSIX specification where BeOS did not at all (it didn't even have pthreads.)

> [data] "will never be linked or associated with Google accounts, products or services"

was true at the time but surely what people care about is data flowing between the medical app and existing Google services? i.e. what the wording could be revised and still keep to the original intended meaning.

Whether you think the company separation was critical to trust is a rather different question to whether they have broken the intent of their original promise. If you don't trust Google then you presumably also had suspicions about the previous arrangement.

Really nice! Might be a good idea to think a little bit about how to communicate your brand.

Many users will have no idea if they ever used your product or not. You should use the network effect of group calls to advertise your product. Maybe just stick your logo in the top right corner?

This is about Amazon removing a revenue stream from Oracle. Amazon also announced a few days ago that they were removing Oracle products from AWS.

Oracle's offering involves paying Oracle money and getting regular phone calls from the Oracle sales department, which I have heard described in colourful ways.
This is great advice. If you're in demand, it's usually straightforward to turn an in-person job into a remote job.

"libc" is the C-language runtime library. The Go language is not the C language. Different things are different. There is no reason for programs written in the Go language to use the C-language runtime in any operating environment, any more than there is a requirement for all programming languages to use curly braces to delimit lexical scope.
Low quality news aside, the LHC never had a risk of producing micro-blackholes that could cause any damage. Very tiny blackholes evaporate instantly, before they have time to do anything. The LHC would detected this, which has not happened.
What I really hate about this is how once great nations like Great Britain, which at one point ruled 1/5th of the planet, surrender more and more of their competencies to cooperations. It is high time to fight this and stem the tide. The rulers of these cooperations should tremble before the might of (realistically only some) nation states, instead it is the opposite way around.
Why Is Antivirus Software Still a Thing?
I'm all in favour of that, and have reached an age that a cruiser style bike is starting to appeal.

Yet Harley have changed so little that they haven't had the benefits of handling and reliability all the other manufacturers have. Riding a new one is like teleporting back to my youth. Mostly for the wrong reasons.

I test rode one a few years ago and it quickly told me I'll never have a Harley.

To explain, the Triumph Bobber looks beautifully like an old hard tail. Like all the Triumph classics it handles and runs like a decent modern bike. It's got cartridge forks, Brembos, ABS, traction control and the reliable twin engine. There's way more ground clearance than I'm ever likely to run out of.

Harleys finally actually go around corners, but still pretty reluctantly. Still way too easy to ground without trying. They'll pair the big engine with a miniscule tank for range around 100m, sometimes down near 50! They're hot, heavy, and slow, you get OK but uninspiring handling with simple suspension, but the single disc up front never felt enough thanks to all that weight. Then they charge more than just about everyone else, but still have a reputation for being unreliable. That leaves just the big V twin sound and looks to buy for.

The Bobber is everything Harley could be doing, yet costs lots less than most Harleys. They have more than enough reputation, and they have more than enough decent looking bikes in their history to remake as modern classics.

Why do you think this is a zero-sum game?

That's only if the number of car drivers is equal to transit riders + cyclists (and maybe some pedestrians).

Of course that equation is nowhere near equal. The entire reason behind the pilot is because transit vastly outnumbers car drivers.

If you can improve the situation for 10-100x as many people, then why wouldn't you? (all else being equal of course). I'm simplifying things, but I don't understand why you're implying equal footing to both sides.
Everybody loves a good TLA!
Right, like I said "complicated business logic". I agree completely, I have no desire to test a library or framework (unless it's proven to need it).
IRL you should be invoking your right by simply not answering the first question or any other.
Probably not, otherwise the police could be tampering with evidence. Obviously you and I know that airplane mode != changing device data, but courts and juries may not see it that way. Or they will say "You put it in Airplane mode, what else did you do?"

This would require that changes in lending constraints precede the transition in the equity markets between bull and bear markets. The reverse seems much more likely: equity markets drop a lot, and banks/debt investors respond to that by tightening up their lending requirements.
>> edit: someone down the page mentioned that containment is the issue.

Right, and that was my understanding. It's easy to accelerate a particle or a stream of them to high energy. It's another thing entirely to contain a gas/plasma at those energies. The distinction becomes more obvious when they flip back and forth between impressive sounding temperatures and simple KeV measures.

Nah screw that empire. 29 Million killed in India and 1 million killed in Ireland.
It's already split between Java8 laggards and Java11. Spark for example hasn't been able to upgrade to Java9 due to their use of some Unsafe stuff. Hadoop just upgraded from 7 to 8 last year.

Did the reactor produce more energy then was put into it? I just don't understand enough about the field to figure that out by reading the article.
For servers, I believe Ubuntu surpassed Debian in popularity recently and is now the most popular distro for both desktop and servers. It's certainly the default option for many cloud hosting companies.
We need to weaponise our education system against them. Full tuition for humanities; total restriction of access to science and technology programs. This will cultivate liberalism, democracy and dissent amongst Chinese students which would destabalize their regime, while depriving them of the technical knowledge they crave in their drive to overthrow the West. We have been very naive to allow so much access to our intellectual resources to a power that knows how to use it against us.
Working with files in Elm
Yes and no.

As I'm fond of saying, there ain't such thing as "anonymized", there's only "anonymized until combined with other data sets".

Plenty of non-obvious things can deanonymize you. An accurate enough timestamp. A rare enough medication or treatment you received. The combination of treatments you received. It's all fine until a chain of data sets form that can identify you with high probability.

Unrelated, I too used to be all for "share my data with whoever you need for medical research". These days, I worry that "medical research" doesn't mean actual research, but random startups getting deals with hospitals - startups that I don't trust to not play fast and loose with the data, and don't trust to share the results with wider community. I think there was even a HN story about that some time ago.
I assume that if you deliberately do anything to alter the state of the device in policy custody as evidence it will be considered tempering with evidence. A similar analogy - "hey, I didn't destroy evidence, I just remotely instructed my phone to encrypt itself. The data is still there, it's not destroyed." That would land you in a federal prison real fast, and rightfully so - you took action to change the device state after it entered police possession and you knew it was evidence. The contents of the RAM would definitely be considered evidence since by your own explanation they contain the data that the police are looking for.
>> [data] "will never be linked or associated with Google accounts, products or services"

> was true at the time but surely what people care about is data flowing between the medical app and existing Google services?

I would think people would care about the data flowing to any Google service. An understanding that it only applied to existing services like you're claiming would be meaningless. A hyperbolic example of this is Google/Deepmind would still be compliant if they came out with a brand new service, Google Privacy Destroyer 1.0, that puts all these people's private health data up for sale on the dark web.
Nope! All language/technologies are tools. Developers have (lots) of opinions but at the end of the day all of these things exist to solve user and business problems. JavaScript does both effectively

It is however useful to have a critical eye so that one can assess what is the right tool for a particular job.
Typical problem of "path to least resistance" which is also the reason Amazon succeeded so well by recommending products ( Netflix does the same with show recommendations) We are by nature prone to take the path that requires the least effort so Cooking vs Ordering food ( which arguably has been made a LOT easier with the likes of Postmates,foodora, Uber eats etc...) means that people will have a tendency to order food instead of cook. Especially when you consider the amount of competition among these food delivery companies and the discounts/promotions they throw at users to retain their business.
they just look like hardtails but have hidden shocks.
Yeah, that's what happens. I wrote that sentence badly. A lot of times I used to just fire up Linux on Virtualbox and thought that would circumvent any web filter on the Windows host, but the DNS still ran through the same place.
You think other nations actually buy into peaceful globalism? Everyone is just looking for an opportunity to be the next global superpower and rule the world, and only play nice-nice insofar as it furthers this goal. Global trade certainly does not guarantee global peace. We had global trade before WW1 and WW2, and it did nothing to stop the most horrific wars ever seen in history.
The US doesn't wish to overthrow the democratic west, however.
That will become a precedent for why law enforcement needs to be even more militaristic.
It's the main reason I didn't continue with HelloFresh (in Germany) after a short tryout period.
My reasons for trying it out were a) curiosity b) seeing if their recipes are good and c) having less leftover materials when cooking for 2 people (for 1 is even worse) - I was not prepared for the amount of plastic packaging.

Also the meals were generally good, but not spectacular. They take as long to prepare, you need to be at home to get the delivery. The only upside is not having to go shopping - and if you any non-standard ingredients I always have to go to the further bigger supermarket, not the 2 that are easy to walk to. The cost was maybe 0-20% higher than buying it yourself. More toward 0% with nice cuts of meat, more like 50% markup if you did some non-fancy pasta or pancakes or whatever - but you could choose to ignore those, to be fair.
