My point was that at the relatively evidence-free level of discourse seen in the article, we could equally well paint straight-A students as anything from conformist (as the article claims) to subversive.

In my limited TAing experience, the actual explanation is much simpler: students who do very well in my class tend to do well in their other classes too because they're (as far as I can tell) smart and motivated. Go figure!
We could just grow plants instead of animals, then problem solved.
To be fair, laptops also went through that period where the only resolution available was 1366x768 unless you bought a Mac or an extremely expensive workstation class laptop. Manufacturers just kind of seemed to give up on them. Lots of mediocre hardware put together in a slapdash fashion, and this was not too long after the big nVidia chip failure fiasco. Combine that with Intel's year to year speedups being generously described as modest and AMD falling on their face with Bulldozer and there was little reason to upgrade to a new laptop.
You're correct. It returns a list from from [a, b), but it's just another example of some expressive (albeit computationally inefficient) notation Python has.

Edit: I take that back. Here's a section from Python's range() documentation:

> The advantage of the range type over a regular list or tuple is that a range object will always take the same (small) amount of memory, no matter the size of the range it represents (as it only stores the start, stop and step values, calculating individual items and subranges as needed).

So it may be a O(1) operation under the hood.

> But we still need to make it much easier for the general public to use. People understand WhatsApp and Messenger, not servers, ports and commands.

Please don't do that. I like the fact the IRC is controllable in plain text via commands. Also, what is wrong with knowing about servers and ports? Why is it that IRC should be changed to appeal to the masses?
> Instead of bailing out companies or keeping interest rates lower (as all the rich are asking right now so that stock market bubble stays up), use that same money to bail out underwater individuals in some way.

Keeping interest rates lower was how they bailed out underwater individuals. Lower interest rates stimulate demand for housing, shoring up housing prices for the people who were underwater. Of course, that reinflated the housing bubble, so here we are again.

What they need to do now is to slowly raise interest rates. Raising them quickly would put us right back to 2008. Raising them slowly lets housing prices decline over a period of years at rate that doesn't instantly put everyone deep underwater again, or kick every adjustable rate mortgage payment above the level that people start defaulting again.

What kind of fucking bullshit is this? Autism is a spectrum of compensating behavioral patterns that emerge as the way to diminish unusually high emotional stress (which is also a spectrum) due to genetically transmitted "imbalances" in a brain's structure (and/or biochemistry).
So, nowadays every kind of fucking bullshit deserve the label "working hypothesis" instead of "gross incompetence"?

BTW, autistic spectrum disorders are "hijacked" the most stable evolutionary strategy of "good looks" - quiet village beauties are carrying these alleles (presumably, product of inbreeding).

There is no coincidence, that ASDs affects mostly boys. Motherly instincts, it seems, diminish (or compensate for) behavioral deviations.

If one could come down to earth from the Ivory towers of abstract bullshit and look at the real world, the answers are out there.
Everything about our current economy looks like one enormous bubble about to pop, and I think it's going to be much worse than 2008, depending on what actions the government takes. I see malinvestment everywhere, from venture capital to the recent machine learning and cryptocurrency trends.

Very good point, and 100% agree.

Browsers need to be on the side of users, if only because authors are demonstrably terrible at user experience.

This isn't just because there's intrusive, bright/colorful/motion ads everywhere (though that's part of it). It's because authors suck at font choice, text size, line length, line height, text/background color & contrast, reflow across device sizes, and all the other basics of written content.

Browsers need to also do things like:

- make content more accessible to people with visual impairments and other disabilities

- filter out content that doesn't need to be loaded

- translate content into your language

- make content appear consistent across sites and according to your preference (e.g. most recently, dark mode)

- protect users from malicious content

- bake in standard functionality like sharing & bookmarks

A necessary feature of browsers should be 'render the author's intent faithfully', but that's by no means sufficient in today's browser market. Browsers are translators of content, both figuratively and literally. They're a window to another world, but also your guide. We need a guide we can trust, something that's on our side.

Back in the day, I managed to figure out a way to get into SEGA's dev site by guessing a URL beyond the login page. It wasn't secured in any way. The username and password would just pass you into a hidden URL, so guessing a URL was functionally identical to logging in with proper credentials
When I figured that out, I downloaded the entire contents of the site. Lots of PDFs with "SEGA Confidential" watermarks, header files and small executable utilities.

Luckily I was working at an ISP and had lots of bandwidth to get it all before they closed the hole a few days later.

Understood. I enjoy the chance of enlightenment whenever possible. I'm doubtful if you will ever make me switch sides because I've thought deeply about this topic than most I assume because of misfortune by birth.

Maybe you're joking, but this will arguably affect employment prospects for Australian engineers etc. And their acceptance by open-source software projects.
You should start with market validation. Would ___% of people say, "I'd pay $___ for a chair that could measure my ___?" What would the answers to those blanks have to be for there to be a good business opportunity?

If the answers suggest that you could eventually sell millions of smart chairs, you still need to start with a small, local, initial market to refine the product. Assume the initial 100 prototype chairs you make will cost 10x more than the eventual price. Who would pay 10x more? They'd have to be fanatical about their posture. Such people probably exist: perhaps some kind of body-builder by night, accountant by day.

Unfortunately, Google is not the only party interested in pushing censorship and accessing your private lives. Nearly every company big and small making money online has their hands in it. And it's not just companies involved either.

Changing the browser engine doesn't change the power these organizations have either. They would still be doing these things if Gecko was the dominant engine.
Thanks, seems like I'd need to go to my university and deploy a simple survey. Not that it's necessarily geared at students but I see a subsection of them being in the target market.

Though, the market demand has been validated by the fact that there's an industry around it. My product idea merely differentiates it. Would it be possible to email you some questions about my actual idea? I'd really appreciate a bit of brainstorming with fellow HN'ers.

I am a little worried about the accuracy of sentiment classifiers, relative to how often I see them used and in applied research settings. They work well for binary classification on Tweets and IMDB reviews and not much else (I guess they do alright at 93% if you magically have a parse tree).

How can you divine that a person has mastered the material when they fail every test you can concoct?

> careless mistakes

You haven't really learned the material if you keep making careless mistakes. I wouldn't want to hire a person who was so unreliable. I wouldn't want to fly on an airplane with a accomplished pilot who kept making careless mistakes. I wouldn't want the best surgeon in the world to work on me if he was careless.

Would you?
Long+distance+relationship+gift+ideas
Agreed.

That said, I've come across code where the variable is always on the right. This often seems to be a throwback for some devs to alleviate the problem of mixing up equality and assignment.

That is, it seems that some people have been taught to use this expression (& stick to it religiously):

if (5 == x) ...

simply so that if they make a mistake and type

if (5 = x) ...

the (C/C++) compiler will reject it. So, these people always write the slightly more awkward case (imho) of:

if (5 < x && 10 > x) ...

but to me it doesn't read as cleanly, because we don't say it that way.

Of course, there's the problem of understanding the meaning of 'between' which can be inclusive of the end points, or exclusive...and you really can't tell from the english. In every case, it needs to be clarified. (eg 'pick a number between 1 and 10'):

if (x>=1 && x<=10)...
I’d argue that Tokyo’s PT is so good that the last mile is mostly your feet if you’re able bodied. Autonomous cars is mostly something that makes sense in less densely populated places IMO. Which does include most of the US, but frankly I doubt car sharing will make a big impact there soon.
Thanks for the references. The Rovelli paper seems to be the key one deriving the claimed result. I have to say the result looks contrived to me: they are constructing spacelike surfaces with increasing volume only by what I would call severe gerrymandering.

> It also doesn't take any work and doesn't cost anything.

To be honest, I think that if you're a solo bootstrapped startup founder, pre revenue, pre employees, pre investment, then any second you spend on anything other than getting to product market fit is a waste.

I've seen too many companies from the inside that were very proud about how well they had done, and I quote, "their legal homework", before having gotten to anything even vaguely resembling product market fit. None of them are around now.

And to add a personal anecdote: my cofounder and me began a vesting schedule on our first investment (an accelerator), and that went fine.
They're more than just mods. Pretty much _every_ game in Roblox is built with LUA scripts. I'd go as far as to say that Roblox is more a game engine than it is a game.
There was airport security before September 11, 2001. The planes were hijacked with relatively mundane items. The reason the hijacks succeeded was not because of the weapons that got past security. It was because up until that point, the standard operating procedure was to cooperate with hijackers. By the time anybody realised that they were not "normal" hijackings, it was too late.
Just the MPs and targetting their social media accounts would be enough and it wouldn't have to be effective or long term, it just needs to create enough of a media storm to bring it to the attention of the general population.

Mentioning that they may need to shut down services in Australia due to the law might be enough to cause a backlash.
It looks like cancer

That's an apt analogy. A layperson can't credibly assess what cancer "looks like" in the first place.
Flynn.io does this to some extent.
Having a couple of free good fonts to select from is not a great solution. Most design studios are using hundreds of fonts to pick a right one for branding.

And just so you know - app updates count as new installation in terms of font licensing. So in you example from GT America font, if you have an app that is installed on 5,000 phones (which is quite easily achievable on app store) you will have to pay $245,000 : https://cl.ly/21d48f64f529

And here is a mobile app licensing terms on fonts.com:

> LICENSES FOR MOBILE APPS
A mobile app license permits the embedding of a font into the iOS, Android or Windows Phone mobile platforms for a single title and a set number of app installations. You can view and modify the installation limit from the cart. App installations can be spread out across the platforms your app is available for. A new license is not required to cover updates to an app, however installations of newer versions of your app do count toward your installation limit. Learn more about licenses for mobile apps

Box’s market cap is $2.5 bil, so that’s still $85 mil. If he can take actions that increase their market cap 10%, that’s still $8.5 mil for him personally. I feel like his interests are still very aligned with “grow Box”, even if he isn’t given more equity.

Mostly it's a discussion group, and I quite enjoy it.

Sure, all the papers are one of the best in their respective fields, no doubt about that.

Regarding your paper, do you think similar fine timing techniques can be applied to other NLP tasks like NER? Did you get a chance to try on any other non classification task?

Btw, kudos to you guys for such a practically useful paper.
Sitting on money in foreign accounts and borrowing US dollars to pay dividends was to avoid incuring tax on repatriation. That shouldn't need to happen anymore since taxation on foreign income is no longer deferrable by delaying repatriation.

I still expect companies with lots of cash to borrow for some expenses and anyway keep large lines of credit open, but it would be strange to borrow to pay a divident if you already have more than enough cash on hand.

It'd need to be somewhat different, yes, but... the biggest problem Fireworks faced in its last years at Adobe was basically who it was owned by. And what else they owned. Photoshop is the rare application with language warping household mindshare. It didn't matter that Fireworks was a better screen design tool on several level, Adobe almost constitutionally couldn't ever have really done enough with Fireworks without pitting it against their flagship title.
I finally got my '72 dodge back on the road. It's an unusual concoction of all go and no show parts. It's got a roller valve train in a 340 block, which is highly unusual for a streetable build, with a gear drive too instead of a chain. The fun thing is that imparts an unusual sound to the engine, which is a good conversation starter.

It makes me wonder how many other markets and industries are out there using the same techniques to bend the public's heart and minds to continue to be a consumer of 'X'?

Are we at a point that we must be distrustful of everything we read and hear, because we can't trust it? I've seen quite a few articles here on HN on how even scientific reporting is not as rock-solid, A-grade 'truth' as we'd like it to be.

No. Many of the things that made flash interesting just don't work when you're disturbing as HTML5, not the least of which is distribution - flash animations are one file, whereas HTML5 has at least a HTML file and a JavaScript object, but in practice doesn't ever get distributed that way at all. More often it's simply turned into a movie and distributed through YouTube... Which ruins much of the charm. Not just from resolution/compression issues. Flash animations, being vector based, scaled to any monitor, and even YouTube's 1080p just doesn't look nearly as good, because of compression algorithms optimized for live action video - if they actually compressed properly, they could get similar quality, but the price would still be way higher. Flash animations were typically sized mostly for their audio track - 3-4 MB of mp3 and 400k of animation code.

Then there's the whole thing about interactivity. Many of flashes best moments were Easter eggs. Most SBEmails have two or more. There's something about the hunt and realizing you "discovered" the extra bit that makes it so much more fun than a stinger.

Last but not least: flash is now much more... Hard to pirate. Much of flash animation was created by students and kids who were working with a tool they wanted to learn and with zero budget. It was an act of creative rebellion. It's hardly impossible, but it's not the same as it was.

The other large part is that flash is no longer as new and impressive and pioneering as it was. That bit can't be reclaimed, no matter what, but is also a shame. Exploration and boundary pushing was a huge part of all of what made flash so amazing - people realized that it could do "anything" and so did. That pioneering spirit lasted for a very long time, considering - the indie game scene is still riding the wave that flash started - but for animations, that hump is past and not least of which because it ran into the brick wall of iOS Safari.
That’s precisely my experience. To be honest, after college I’ve found that hobbies are not that great for finding very close friends. Shared interests are certainly great for meeting people, but just because you occasionally make pottery or hike with someone doesn’t mean you’ll connect on a deep level.
I don't know, but I believe the reason iPhones get dropped from support is not calendar years, but rather architectural change. That is, the 32 bit to 64 bit transition dropped the old 32 bit phones after a while. So unless there is a major architectural shift I don't see why they would drop the 6s and SE.
I don’t think SF area prices will ever “collapse” - it will just stabilize or dip. Even if we experienced a heavy recession there are too few homes for the number of people who live here. And a recession would only deter new construction.
