Well I have to say that I’m really not tackling it haha.

My girlfriend and I share a one bedroom apartment and it’s a touch small (having downsized for reasons not our own).

I do keep a series of bookshelves along one wall that are largely filled with books but leave some space for other things like a couple of models. Others sit on the TV stand. They’re just kind of peppered in places where they won’t get in the way but are still viewable

>In 1998 the Supreme Court established a special exclusion area to keep heavy industry at a distance from the monument. The Taj Trapezium Zone (TTZ) covers an area of more than 10,400 sq km.

How was this ever going to be workable in a country like India, with so much unemployment and massive requirement for industry, power, infrastructure etc. In these scant conditions, obviously there will be little resources for cleaner, greener alternatives to fulfill economic requirements. And because people are resourceful they will make do with whatever is at hand which for example are, unfortunately, the dirtier diesel generators, coal fired plants, and polluting vehicles. All this is tragec to be sure, but people will choose their own livelihoods over a beautiful mausoleum.
That would be OK for some ML applications if the framework itself would not be included in the deployment package.
You are kidding right? They even encourage it by making you sign a visitor agreement so that you have no right to the IP you discuss.
> ...an evolved social construct. Do you actually think religion, with all its ritual and structure and beauty exists because cave men tried to explain away the things that scared them?

Is that not what "an evolved social construct" means? Some cave man's explanation was a social construct happened to have good characteristics in favor of its survival in the environment of human society. Like the process of evolution in biology, it contained traits that were useful for its preservation and propagation. It possibly (but not necessarily) included utility for its adherents, and it possibly formed an effective foundation of social order.

You're right, that's exactly what I think religion is. This stands in stark contrast to where most religious people think their religion comes from: not from some cave-man's misguided guess but from the genuine revelation from God to people.

I do not want to feel like part of something bigger than myself if it consists of mutually pretending that something false (or at least uncertain) is certain. If it is untrue, I do not wish to believe it, regardless of its utility.

They did say "probably" not science, so this one is the exception
That's why they qualified it with 'competent'. I could hardly believe that a CS grad that actually did all the work couldn't crank out a basic CRUD app; now, whether they can do it with your framework of choice is maybe a different question.

I do have to agree that a lot of CS grads are unfortunately not competent and that quality varies a lot though.
What makes you say "this would be easier on a Mac"? I'm curious, only because I've never said that. I've also never said "this would be easier on Windows" about anything other than needing to do something in Outlook. I've spent my career going back and forth switching between the major operating systems and somehow find Linux/Mac/Windows pretty similar for the work I do (obviously we all work different).

Now I'm a Linux sysadmin working on Linux stuff, so my main work machine is Linux, it would be a pretty easy for me to switch to a Mac, and now even Windows.
Actually using the card information is almost entirely left to the lower-end criminals, it's just ridiculously difficult to scale.

After spending years hanging around in those circles I'm rather convinced that the only people making real money with credit card fraud are the shops, hackers stealing the cards and reshipping services.

The biggest buyers on the shops seemed to be criminal gangs engaging in relatively small-scale fraud maybe moving hundreds of thousands a month.
An emacs based browser for this would be awesome!
Yes, but they are supposed to be using subdomains for that (e.g. usercontent.google.com, video.google.com, apis.google.com, ...), instead of what is essentially DNS spam (guesswhetherthisdomainalsobelongstogoogle.com).

DNS has been made hierarchic for this reason.
the REBL is just a javaFX program that builds upon `datafy` and `nav` connecting with the REPL. I think soon we will get other implementations (CLJS!).

I wouldn't want to read too much into this particular prototype of REBL. I think they don't want to have people re-package this iteration and sell it as-is.
I’m the speaker in that video. Historically, on average, I’ve stayed at each of my employers for about 2 years. Google was a big exception, as I was there for almost 6 years, but partly that was because I had 3 fairly different roles during the time I was there.

So far, a month in, I’m loving working for Slack; it’s a great company, and an excellent group of people. So there’s every possibility that I’ll be there longer than 2 years!
Thanks for the insight. You are correct - github is not supporting this type of search.

No, math is math, engineering is engineering, and science is science.

> And this problem being what exactly?

The point is just establishing condition X exists doesn't establish that most people diagnosed with X actually have X (and those who don't, don't).

The burden of proof on the psychiatric community is greater than to prove a condition exists in a biological sense. It is:

1. Prove condition exists. Identify if it is a specific illness or just an extreme on a range

2. Prove that they have a reliable and accurate way to diagnose it and that most physicians in the field agree on their diagnoses (i.e. interviewer intereliability > 90%). In so doing, prove this diagnoses is independent of self-image (e.g. a kid who's told they are distracting all the time may answer that they "can't focus" on a questionnaire because that's what adults tell them).

3. Prove that whatever solutions they are offering are statistically effective at helping the condition described in 2. Administer a post-test on each person receiving treatment to verify that they are indeed helped by whatever drug they are purchasing.

The community doesn't meet this standard. And therefore we are right to be skeptical of it, it's half-assed with peoples mental health. I'm more rigorous with my software than they are with mental health.

To answer your question - You'd do a research study on "Brain ADDness" based on size of brain structures. Then you'd give a traditional ADD test to these people. And you'd look at the correlation.

The ocean is filled with nuclear waste world wide from one plant leaking. You can't eat food grown in huge areas of Europe.

The last generation plants were a military money hack. The plants that got funded interestingly were good at producing materials used for bombs. Not good designs that are financially viable without military money. Or even designs that are safe.

They are too expensive to close down properly. That's why not one has been closed down in the USA. That's not a safe design.

If the military jerks didn't hijack things so the power plants were designed wrong we would probably have had better designs made and more research going into the right directions. Instead we have a sea of toxic waste and bullshit plants to clean up.

Blaming environmentalists is fucking stupid.

What's your counter argument? Something like...

War is peace,
hate is love,
ignorance is strength?

Bullshit.

> examiners for the most part seem to only look at existing patents [...] So if your work isn’t in one of these patent databases—examiners usually use the USPTO patent archive or google patents—it’s very possible your work won’t be discovered by the examiner.

Would it be feasible to build an "unpatented" database where people could submit the inventions they don't want patented and have the USPTO look at it in their research?

Maybe a patent version of what copyleft is to copyright?

To be fair, once upon a Time they did make the decision to pull out of a very profitable and growing China. And their competitors didn't, they are still there helping evil. Once upon a time, Google genuinely did put values above profit - maybe not perfectly, but certainly with significant
and meaningful impact to their business. Once upon a time anyway.
> Probably wouldn't have commented on this if you hadn't used past tense. Today all this seems obvious. But since you do, -let me tell you that most of us haven't heard a thing about global warming until "An inconvenient truth" or about that time.

Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change was established in 1988 and would have been established a decade earlier had it not been for aerosol pollution having a countervailing effect on temperature.

> Pretending oil engineers kept this under the rug is a bit disingenuous.

I see HN as less of a place for the equivalent of oil engineers and more of a place for current and future leaders.

> As for our role in shaping the surveillance state, -that is a bit worse: we now know. Luckily we are already seeing resistance and I urge everyone to join in: do talk about it at work, do talk to politicians, try to influence decisions where you work.

I'm doing as much as I can[0] but realistically very few of us are really trying.

[0] I've met with my MP, I spoke at an election hearing, I've sent countless emails to Public Safety Canada and other departments, I did a cybersecurity review of a department well below my normal bill rate. I even joined the Liberal Party. I'm getting somewhere (e.g., the 2018 budget dramatically increased funding for cybersecurity) but the problem is growing faster than the response. Just like global warming.
Wow that's crazy. I didn't know they did stuff like that.

Also I didn't know Google had patents for syncing audio across phones. I wonder if any of the mobile apps (like AmpMe [1]) have to pay some license fees.

I once spent an evening researching the different apps that could sync audio across multiple devices [2]. I also wanted to build my own app, so tried to see if it would be possible (only if you have a jailbroken phone.) I just wanted to play the same audio on two pairs of AirPods. I found out that the Samsung Galaxy S9 has a Dual Audio feature, and the iPhone X can theoretically support this with Bluetooth 5.0. And the AmpMe app can sync audio across multiple phones. (I was also really surprised to find out that they're a pretty huge company with 20 full time employees.)

Ask HN: Time management skills that don't rely on timekeeping
It seems to me that productive people get things done regardless of time constraints and unproductive people never have enough time. I am interested in the techniques used by people that get things done and their mindset.

Prior to clocks and time keeping, there was no sense of I've been working on this for too long - this is a bit naive. But I'm sure the productive people for millennia ago share traits with modern day productive folks.

What are those traits? And can they be cultivated?
Amex fedex'd my new card to a different address of my choosing. I would imagine they ship it anywhere you want.

This sounds more like Marriott having better monitoring and once the DBs got merged they figured out somebody had been in the Starwood network for four years.
>a) notice them

Don't you review your charges regularly? Even without fraud you're bound to be losing money to erroneous charges if you don't.

>b) dispute them

I've usually just had to submit a quick online form consisting almost entirely of checkboxes, while yeah that's some work it's still not going to take more than a minute of my time.

>c) go through the annoying process of having your card re-issued.

Seems like this is vastly more annoying with some card issuers than others.

Cold hearted profiteering isn't evil. If done properly it will save India. Even with "socialist principles" guiding our governments, cold hearted profiteering has survived and thrived. Rather than using this natural impulse for good, the socialist idiocy has instead resulted in crony thievery.

From what I've seen, this has nothing to do with medical advice - it's lifestyle advertising driven by the fact that these are popular/attractive/respected 24-year oldswith a big built-in social network of other high achieving young people.

My wife is a recent med school graduate, so I have some exposure to this from seeing her IG timeline. She was also explicitly recruited by one of her more shameless influencer friends to try to make some side cash with some scheme.
One tool is to only get access to this data from the Web FE via an API. This API is then monitored for spikes in usage, so if a given FE is suddenly requesting a lot more than normal it gets flagged. It doesn't stop targeted attacks, but does show the big ones - another reason why security needs to be multi layered.
I hope someone makes an example out of them.
The short answer is that credit cards were invented over 40 years ago, to operate in an offline and indeed paper-based system (hence the embossed digits for use in mechanical duplicators). For a more modern system look at contactless.

FWIW I think the "one shot push" model of cryptocurrencies has some serious limitations which I think should be addressed by an "invoice" system - e.g. you can easily pay the wrong person, or even an address which doesn't exist and is owned by nobody! Not to mention dumb errors such as swapping the payment and tip fields. It would be better if the payee crafted a cryptogram for "please pay me (authenticated address) the sum of X", and the payer was simply generating an approval of that.
I used to work in the online slot machine business and saw some of the patents related to slots. Most of them seemed trivial but it did affect how we could design our games. Certain features of the reels bouncing or paylines being awarded were patented. There were other ideas like connecting players to each other that seemed like they shouldn't be patent-able.

With that perspective, this board game patent actually looks very good. It certainly isn't an idea that I've thought of before or seen.
Great!

My last stay at a Starwood property was in January 2016 at the Bangkok LeMeridien.

Not that they would bother to set up a call center number for Switzerland.

Do they really expect me to call internationally at my expense to then hang in a loop for an hour or so?

On the plus side: Nothing bad happened since then.

Nevertheless I'm not impressed.
I'm glad! Don't give up. Stick with it. Make smart choices, and don't be afraid to commit to things like family, home, and children. You gain the most meaning from the things that demand the most of you.

The biggest damage to google in my eyes was the recent redesign of gmail. At this point, I don't interact with anything that they offer anymore outside of search, because they have forced me into using another mail client.
The linked article reads like most of that was not encrypted. The CVV wasn't listed as being stored, but CC number, name, and expiry, without the CVV are usable in the US, even online in many cases. A CC charge without CVV doesn't hard fail, so it's the merchants choice as to whether to even ask for it.
The problem is that containers don't have unique local storage
Let's not forget that the US was buying up USSR tech as much as it could during those times. The US bought the designs for the YAK-141, which helped the development of the F-35. Oh, and the Russians invented stealth.

I was wondering why you were trying to prove your invalid point that the USSR did not lead in innovation in some, limited sectors - looks like the only thing your account does is hate on Russia.

Which is fine, but I am kind of interested in the why.

This is a real Caltech course, not a made-for-online offering. When I took it, we shared the online forum with undergrads taking the class on campus, and Professor Abu-Mostafa was incredibly responsive to all kinds of questions.

The course covers the theory and mathematics behind various machine learning techniques. It's not a practical course that just teaches you to use some particular library.
I was going to say that this looks like massive over-engineering, but I don't know how long they're used for or what kind of maximum loads they require. You could build pontoons out of bales of bamboo or plastic drum barrels and still drive a tank over it. But with steel pontoons, the weight of all that steel is actually countering some of the displacement. Probably part of why they have to be so big...

Edit: It looks like the pontoons are actually sitting on the river bottom in a lot of places, so I guess that's why they need to be so strong.
Didn’t they spoof this in the Silicon Valley series?
Why is it destruction and not just it will be more costly to adapt? Why suppose that we can't figure out a way to scrub C02 from the atmosphere, or offset it some other way?

Amazon's cloud business is competing with its own customers
The reason it's more upsetting when Google does it is 1)because they advertised they wouldn't. 2) it's hard to get around their products. I don't have to use anything Microsoft anymore, as I switched to the 'more ethical company's a long time ago. Now I need to go on the hunt again, and there is slim competition. I'm not mad at Microsoft because I already departed from them.
And “Frankly” and “I’ll be honest”...
If you think about it from the first principles and ignore the location, it’s a fact that a business can be launched anywhere. We are in a global economy and most software runs in the cloud. Companies like Stripe will let you bill from the cloud. So technically running a SaaS company from anywhere should be possible.

That being said, any great company is a product of vision * team * execution * luck.

SV and to a larger degree US provides the huge networking effects of talent, funding and a big market.

That being said, it still warms my heart to see successful startups from other countries do well.
In late 2013, I decided I really wanted a new computer. And after looking at my bank account, I decided that a good way to treat myself without going totally overboard financially would be be the 2012 Mac Mini with the quad-core i7. I liked the machine very much, I eventually upgraded the RAM, but by late 2016, I was no longer happy with the machine's performance.

At that point, I took a look at Apple's lineup and found their machines underpowered, overpriced (at least compared to my budget), and some part of me no longer liked OS X as much as I had initially.

I waited for Ryzen to become available and for the first time in more than a decade, I built my own PC and am now back to using GNU/Linux. About 20 months later, I am very happy with my decision. But I might very well have chosen another Apple machine if they had one with reasonably current hardware, at a reasonable price, which I could have upgraded later on. It is sad, because they sure know how to build a sweet computer.

Note: AFAIK, Apple computers are significantly more expensive in Europe, so the price-performance ratio might be more favorable in the US.

Dataturks – ML data annotations made super easy for teams
So, I'm a medical student and I'm baffled by the number of people who come asking for medical advice. It's difficult not to try when you know they're not actually going to go see a doctor if you refuse to help. Often the questions are fairly simple, or you can find a good summary on the problem to go off. Sometimes it's really common questions - e.g. I've got a cold, do I need ABs?

I do comment on the odd medical post on HN. Usually trying to dispell myths or offer some evidence that helps the discussion - a Cochrane review, or a Lancet article, etc. Occasionally I try to defend the profession, or explain some of the difficulty that doctors are in that leads people to be frustrated with them. I also blog a little, as an outlet for all the crazyness and feelings that come with medical training. That said, you won't be seeing and product endorsements from me.

I don't see any harm in offering reasonable advice or adding a little evidence to discussions. I'm always careful to point out my student status, and not to offer medical advice directly.
