I was testing a HomePod as a conference speakerphone in a large open office environment - where we often have all hands - and it did extremely well - clearly picking up individuals that were quite far from the actual device and that were speaking at a normal volume.
I would love Apple to enable some sort of "Office Mode" for the HomePod similar to what they've done with the Apple TV (given the name doubt it will happen anytime soon) - maybe something they could work on with Cisco on? It performed better than the Jabra Speak 810 which is almost twice the cost. Has anyone else experienced this or used it in an office environment?
Curious because it's not mentioned: How much of that is due to higher availability/usage of Narcan?

Just check out popular IRC servers (e.g. Freenode), search for keywords and start joining some channels. Lurk for a while to see the tone and then get to know people.

If you want particular recommendations from HN, it would seem beneficial to search through prior posts since this topic has come up before. If you want the best options for your specific domain though, it's likely going to involve some investigation from your end to see which channels and which individuals mesh well with what you're looking for.
Let me get this straight.

You want Apple to put more mics into the iPhone, so that it can better address a use-case that Apple is already addressing with a well-engineered product built expressly for that purpose?

OK.
Where did you learn all this? I feel like I could have kept reading this post forever. If you have any books to recommend, that would be amazing.
I'm not aware of a study - but that doesn't mean you default to bad math.
Yet, if you had asked me, or most of the students in that class, how to calculate the variance of a population, or to define marginal probability, you likely would have gotten blank stares.
That seems a bit inconsistent with the claim that AI is just a rebranding of age-old statistical techniques.

So the author is asserting that... ML is statistics for people who don’t know statistics? I wouldn’t necessarily argue with that, but I wouldn’t brag about it either...

Sorry, from my perspective it's important to have that rule to prevent abuse. My understanding is that BSA implemented it after several instances of sexual abuse by volunteers, not due to fear of false accusations.
> For most 40-hr/wk, full time employees with one job, they should net a '0' refund, and the return should be automatically completed based on their employers weekly/quarterly filing of payroll tax records.

Only with eliminating the distinction between the standard and itemized deductions, and only for employees who work no overtime and earn no bonus. Who also don't have any post-tax activities that affect their tax liability (IRA contributions outside of an employer-sponsored 401(k), charitable contributions, 529 plan contributions). Who also don't have any out-of-pocket healthcare expenses beyond that threshold.

There is a fair amount of interest in Rust from embedded programmers, though at the moment you can only really use it for ARM cores (which are probably among the most common embedded cores but there are a huge number of alternatives). There is a dedicated working group within the rust community for embedded which is pushing towards having a good user experience for those wanting to use Rust in such an environment.

But even within embedded rust you won't find much appetite for dynamic memory allocation, and a fair amount of the work has been stabilizing the mechanisms by which you can build rust code which does not use its standard library ('no_std'). This has nothing to do with the fear of the new and lots to do with predictability of code. Using a single heap for all allocations is not at all ideal in an embedded context: your allocations become much harder to predict (both in terms of failure and in terms of time taken), errors become harder to recover from, and it becomes harder to reason about the amount of memory your system will use (especially in edge cases). For embedded work you will generally try very hard to allocate everything statically, and use some kind of pool allocation if you cannot (and often you combine the allocation and whatever datastructure you are placing the objects in).
I'm surprised how good of an investment learning algebra is. I never learned any branch of math that restructured my thinking process as radically as algebra. It even surpasses discrete math and probability. I think every undergrad should take a standard algebra course with groups, rings and fields.

It would lead to pretty much every man accused of rape with threatening to sue/press charges against their accuser and further stigmatize rape victims and lower the number who come forward.
I don't think that is a fair comparison, because people pay money to watch Game of Thrones, while YouTube is completely free. If it cost $14.99 a month to watch a small set of YouTube channels, their viewership would be far lower (and revenue per viewer would be much higher).
I visualize memory as a big range and variables occupy space on them. The pointer is just the first byte of that space. Once you realize that C is basically placing stuff on memory things become pretty clear I think.
Yeah the cable cutting is just a conjecture, have no evidence for that. Overpriced repair - pretty sure about that one.
A top level commenter mentioned Geely-owned London Taxi Company is building electrified black cabs. Geely also happens to own Volvo: I think an electric Volvo will do very well in the high-end against Tesla.

Also, if China decides it needs extra EV battery capacity, expect the total number to significantly increase, and Tesla's slice will shrink (in relative terms).
Where is rust used in Code?
'guys' may not be the word you're looking for here.
My point here is, that if you have a single sales channel only, you need to control/affect it. Apple has a myriad of sales channels all boosted heavily by Apple advertising.

Printers pulled into 9100 port attack spew PewDiePie propaganda
Well to be fair the parent was using one of the most popular TV shows to make their case, so using the top YouTuber as a response seems reasonable.
>Talking through a few whiteboard problems and talking about tools they have used (why and how) are sufficient.

I've done interviews with a whiteboarding "tell me about stuff you've worked on" component followed by a test.

It thought it gave a weak signal about the skills of the candidate. I canned it eventually because the test gave a very strong signal and it wasn't telling me anything the test didn't.

>Interviews with higher management is just a redundant filter and another reason for the management to justify their existence.

I agree. I had suspicions in a previous company that this upper management "team fit" interview was adding a race/nationality filter that ended up with good candidates getting dropped.
You're right, I'm sure there are alot of very health conscious vegetarians who actively monitor their health. Perhaps that's actually more common. My experience has been, perhaps contrarily, that the vegan/vegetarians I've met think that by simply omitting meat they don't need to be concerned about monitoring their health. Since that was my observation and was counter intuitive I thought I'd share.

Just to throw something out there. My city here in Ontario Canada has been running BYD buses for a while. We have been very happy with BYD buses. These buses are clean and don't emit the black smoke. We have had very positive experiences.

I'd use "better" math if it were available. Until then, I'm going to use the best tool for the job, even if it's "bad".

To that end, I refuse to make perfect the enemy of good.
No, it's worse. It's statistics on steroids used by people who don't have a clue about statistics.
It's like no one imagined unintended consequences, or understands that incentives affect behavior.

Is he ready to offer the affected Uyghurs (Or even some large percentage of them) asylum in the US? I'm sure that if he made that offer, China would gladly exile them.

Of course, he's not, though.
Yeah, here in America I can't go with my family to a nice public stoning of an adulterous woman. I just have to settle for my wife being allowed to drive on her own and have meaningful rights.
To overcome mental challenges, I spend time chanting and self-reflection formed by studying Buddhism and other various philosophical literature.

The chanting and self-reflection consists of spending time to explore the true purpose of my life and the reasons potentially why I am this particular juncture making this particular decision. It then comes back to spending time thinking about which decision will I regret the most/least if I had been looking back from 20 years forward. And then I think about whether it aligns with my values and ultimate goal in life perceived from the awareness that we will life and death are inescapable truths of my present existence.

1) Those documents are no longer available (or the link is broken)

2) The contribution was actually not very helpful for nouveau, much of the information was already known. nvidia has done practically nothing since then to support nouveau in any meaningful way, with the exception of a one-off patchset to implement some support for Tegra.

I suspect you just found the first link that seemed to validate the point you are trying to make, without actually understanding what is actually (not) going on.

”If everyone around them is eating meat”

Is that likely? Per calorie, meat is more expensive, and people weren’t that rich, on average, at the time. Also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ancient_Roman_cuisine states: John E. Stambaugh writes that meat "was scarce except at sacrifices and the dinner parties of the rich."

Also, gladiators may have been loading carbs to gain a protective layer of fat. https://archive.archaeology.org/0811/abstracts/gladiator.htm...:

”Gladiators, it seems, were fat. Consuming a lot of simple carbohydrates, such as barley, and legumes, like beans, was designed for survival in the arena. Packing in the carbs also packed on the pounds. "Gladiators needed subcutaneous fat," Grossschmidt explains. "A fat cushion protects you from cut wounds and shields nerves and blood vessels in a fight." Not only would a lean gladiator have been dead meat, he would have made for a bad show. Surface wounds "look more spectacular," says Grossschmidt. "If I get wounded but just in the fatty layer, I can fight on," he adds. "It doesn't hurt much, and it looks great for the spectators."”
I suspect that the lengths US and UK go to keep influence over afghanistan is so that it can reintroduce the flow of heroin into china if they ever wants to play that card again
False accusations are a problem no matter what you do. Is it a better coping strategy to behave in a way that makes them believable or to be decent to the people around you?

Personally I pick decency. I don't really care if this view is down-voted.
The idea that Ghomeshi was “credibly accused” is rather the point. In the only cases that went to court, he was found not guilty, and the judge went on quite a tangent about how the witnesses had lied to and hid evidence from the court.

If that’s not enough to clear his name, how can anyone ever escape the stain of a credible accusation? It seems prudent given that problem to ensure that no accusation will be credible.

Ask HN: What are some good P2P application testing resources?
Can anyone recommend good P2P application testing resources?

By resources I mean: frameworks/libraries/papers/previous research/talks, etc

By P2P I basically mean some peer running a listener/server, and receiving/broadcasting/sending messages accordingly (nothing fancy).

As of today when I want to test a decentralized/P2P app, I'm just using a lot of <code>nc -lk [port number]</code> on my machine, and just opening a bunch of terminals with that (to create the illusion of multiple peers). However, as you might imagine, this is terribly inefficient and cumbersome.

Any suggestions?

Edit: add clarification of resources
>It is worth noting that many gladiators, and Olympic competitors, were in fact not slaves and many were actually quite wealthy.

Hence my qualifier gladiatorial slave. Yes presumably a free gladiator had more choice than a gladiatorial slave.

Your use of “many”, doesn’t shed much light on the subject, by all accounts most were slaves, free gladiators were definitely the exception not the rule. But yes some were the superstar athletes of their day and the wealth (women) that goes along with that status.
It's both. It's in the guidelines for sporting groups I have worked with that there's an open door at all times with offices and that there is at least one supervising adult/parent of the juveniles present at all times. I assume this is due to insurance and legal liability - all organized sporting groups have liability insurance or it's going on your personal liability. This unfortunately did not cover pathological cases like the US Gymnastics scandal where the doctor apparently even abused his patients in the presence of their parents in the guise of an examination.

I appreciate your experience. For what it's worth I didn't downvote you, but my guess is it happened because your post comes across as mildly aggressive toward veganism even though that probably wasn't your intention.
Just to be clear, you know he almost certainly did it right? Dr. Ford came forward before he was nominated. Also he has full time security guards now and gets welcomed with standing ovations, whereas Dr. Ford keeps having to move because of all the death threats and hasn't been able to go back to her job.
Thanks! I've checked off the lost cash as an expensive lesson and am at peace. Hopefully someone else can benefit from knowing this story.
