Ray tracing produces the best results for complex dynamic lighting. This is why it's used for example in movies.

Duck.com domain name transfer hammered NamePros servers so hard that it singlehandedly uncovered a fairly obscure bug in Nginx's FastCGI caching. It's gone unnoticed for years, including during rigorous load testing.

Preliminary evidence suggests that fastcgi_cache_key doesn't handle $cookie_* variables correctly. If the cookie doesn't exist, it seems to result in a unique key every time. (The workaround was to assign the $cookie_* variable to another variable and then use that in fastcgi_cache_key.)

If anyone is curious what sort of increase in traffic you should expect from a link to your site appearing on HN, NamePros is getting about 230 additional backend requests per second--that doesn't include anything cached by Cloudflare.

No you didn't. You brought an ELK cluster up. Now the fun begins.

Unless you have a small load, six months from now you'll say "I've spent the last 6 months setting up and tuning an ELK cluster. It looks like it might be ready for production workloads now, but let's make it a beta for the time being – I don't want to see a crash like we had last time..."
Yes, you're correct. We'll correct the mistake in the doc.
I seem to recall there's term for when tax revenues are strongly linked to tax expenditure. Like when you tax road vehicles and use that exact tax to maintain the road network. But I can't recall the term right now.

Seeing more of that thing, whatever it's called, seems like a desirable thing. The 'pooled funds' approach to tax/spending does lead to a lot of whacky outcomes.

I wonder if the immune system "leaves" some of these traditionally non-coding sequences behind as a canary in the coal mine. If a cell starts undergoing more frequent mutations on the road to becoming cancerous then a well placed marker gene would be a great signal for the immune system to wake up and send the cell into apotosis or to be phagocytosed.
It didn’t trick regulators...in my county (Miami-Dade) Uber racked up millions in fines and “settled” for $4M.

There are ~3,000 counties in the US...and significant outstanding debts/legal liabilities.

The only people tricked is investors who are unaware of the real legal liabilities and whose funds are being used to float the illegal operations and some drivers who now have criminal records from doing a job they were paid to do.

Now they are going to trick the public with a public offering and offload these toxic shares.
I’ve been in mobile development for a long time. I do iOS and swift now.

You're hedging way more than you need to in this comment. They get a crapload from Google.

Mozilla brings in revenues in excess of half a billion dollars per year. The royalties alone are in excess of half a billion per year.

Note that the most recent figures we have are from 2016 when Mozilla was on the Yahoo money. The 2018 won't be available for a couple years, but it should hint towards how much the new Google contract brought in. And the intermediate one should show the blip of the Pocket acquisition along with figures sugared by the kickbacks that Mozilla originally lied about not receiving. (Spoiler alert: Mozilla themselves eventually admitted that the info was untrue with regard to not benefitting directly from the Pocket partnership. Just a proviso for anyone who wasn't following along closely and might assume that I'm making baseless conjecture. These are facts.)

Far too often people fail to see the world for what it is. The use of space is expanding so much and that if anything people are tuning out accomplishments because they are not eventful anymore.

For some the end of the shuttle program was a downer but it was probably the single best thing to have happened to NASA in decades. the Shuttle program if anything held NASA back. The investment alone made it near impossible to not use it and the cost of using it doomed money for other development.

Now we have Space X with a record number of launches, China going to the dark side of the moon, and even more private corporations reaching for space. We still have cooperation with Russia not withstanding all the political strife caused by their leadership. The EU has had great missions recently and even India is moving forward.

The goal isn't for you to think that explicitly. The goal is for you to subtly associate Product B with feelings related to "young and attractive partner" so that next time you're making a decision between Product B and the competitor's Product C, you are emotionally tilted in their direction. It's probably not enough of a tilt to overcome many logistical factors, but it might also not be something you notice when making the decision.

You are correct: it's a fairly slow walk around the neighborhood. Typically I average between 3.5 and 4 when strolling around outside.

That being said, it's fast by the standards of treadmill desk usage (judging by what I've read and a coworker that bought her own treadmill). I can't speak authoritatively but the impression I get is that most people walk around 1.0 mph which is maddeningly slow for getting around, but appropriate for mindlessly pacing while typing or talking on the phone.

I'm senior enough, prior military and give few enough fucks that I have been able to try this repeatedly. I've tried various gradiations between polite and asshole, and in various situations.

At best, you get various promises to not be loud. You'll get maybe a day of relief, and then it's back to it again. You can be relatively harsh, and it's still temporary. You can also lobby to be pushed off to a corner where you're not exposed to the loudest people. At worst, you can _really_ piss people off; I raised enough of a stink that I know that one guy wanted me fired.

Some people have a very strong need to interact socially. One time I was on a long ride in a HMMWV and most of us were silent as we were relatively tired. One guy was one of those compulsive talkers, and on a lark, I timed how long it was before he started talking. After almost exactly 6 minutes of silence he would start talking and then trail off, it was very regular.

I think if you have someone like that, I think your best strategy is not to avoid them, but to fulfill their need on your terms. Invite them to go get coffee with you, or go for a walk. And then when you're done, hopefully that triggers their social cue to get back to work. If it doesn't, you can remind them, "well, I've just been out for five minutes, so I don't want the boss to think I'm fucking off work."
Transfer learning is the premise of learning from data in one domain, and then being able to transfer that knowledge to another domain. In this case, we leverage large existing text datasets to build an initial model, and then tailor that model to customer feedback and apply it to our specific problem (for this blog post, classifying feedback sentiment).

We chose to use this approach for customer feedback since it combines the benefits of a general model (large amounts of data) with the benefits of a domain-specific model (targeted to customer feedback). It looks like we were validated, as it outperformed Google NLP API and AWS Comprehend - both general models - on our set of customer feedback data.
There is something about traditional engineering culture that sees marketing as big lie, but one of the reasons these companies have been so successful at transitioning public opinion is because they treat the whole business as iterative. Instead of thinking "boring finance dept" and "slimey marketing guys", they think "financial and social engineering".
Google doesn't bill the campaign upfront. It bills every time a threshold is crossed - for example, whenever you spend $500.
I used to have the same problem. I solved it this way:

1. I set things up so I could trigger my "time-savior" with a few keystrokes.
2. At start, it would pause for a short, variable time. [During that time, I would keep my hands away from the keyboard and my attention raptly dedicated to my torturer.]
3. After the pause, the system would call MY desk phone.
4. I would sadly explain, "Oh, sorry to cut this short,but I really have to take this important work call…"
Cool for me I’m all good using one company’s svc as long as that company is ethical and stands behind their values.

>> I bet they have already optimized for "what is the most we can charge", so I would be surprised if this even gets passed on to consumers at all.

It's a surcharge (the bill is linked down-thread). It's passed on to consumers by definition. If it works the same as MTS, it would be a statutorily capped fee. "The most we can charge" is a different number from the most a consumer would willingly pay with complete information. Surcharges are not included in advertised prices, and can therefore be used to affect price obfuscation. This is why my 34.99/mo pre-paid plan cost $48.12. Because it is a fixed amout, it also makes pre-paid plans less competitive with higher margin credit based plans.

Disclaimer: I work for one of the apps you mentioned. This is my own opinion and not that of my company.

CPUC has the ability to regulate telecoms, but all of those apps are services that run over the internet, which is outside the pervue of the CPUC afaik. Most of them aren't making revenue on messaging either, so a revenue based tax doesn't work either.
I would imagine that AWS Comprehend utilizes a lot of customer feedback when training its internal models. However, they do advertise Comprehend as a general purpose NLP service, so they may have taken steps to make the models generalize to the non-feedback domain. In any case, on our set of sentiment data for customer feedback, Comprehend is outperformed by Google’s NLP API and our own internal model.

As for Azure, we actually did not factor their service into our comparison. This is definitely something to consider in future blog posts.
I'm coming around to the idea that personalized ads should be classified along with biological weapons. The latter attacks your biology while the former attacks your mind.

Consider the story about Russia hacking the 2016 elections through the use of a massive campaign of personalized ads on Facebook and Google to polarize communities through misinformation sites tailored to their personal biases.

Whether you believe the Russia story or not, this set of actions would as surely constitute an attack on a civilian population as a deployment of a bioweapon tailored to cause mental confusion and delirium.

Yet due to a blind spot and the daily delivery of these weapons on behalf of the major personalized ad aggregators, we do not recognize the severity of what's going on. Long-term elevated levels of stress hormones do real physical damage.

Can you imagine if the survivors of Nagasaki were to react to the nuclear destruction of their city with the same careless indifference that we have towards the continuous attempts to reprogram our very minds?

A common misconception unfortunately.

The heap is limited to roughly 30 GB, plus a bit of overhead. You will never run in 32bits mode if you set a 32GB heap, because overhead.

From experience, a 30GB heap is similar to a 40GB in usable space. 32 vs 64 bits pointers respectively.

> Those ads are not your friends. Don't expect them to treat you like they care.

> You're not sharing your information with a human. You're sharing it with a business who is tuned to maximize profit. The ROI on dealing with still births for advertising is probably negative.

Considering only the profit aspect (because the ethics, social responsibility, and public opinion aspects have already been addressed elsewhere in this thread and on twitter):

Surely it's a better ROI to have a user than to lose a user. Hence, it makes more sense for e.g. "stillborn" be a trigger word that stops/blocks pregnancy-related ads for X time than for the user to be so brokenhearted by the platform itself that they leave.

Surely it's a better ROI to show relevant ads than offending ads. Hence, it makes more sense to show e-counseling ads to grieving eyes than to show them tragedy-reminder ads.

Honestly, this seems like a no-brainer from any perspective.
