> Climate scientists criticize her uncertainty-focused spiel for containing elementary mistakes and inflammatory assertions unsupported by evidence. Curry is a regular at Anthony Watts' denier blog, as well as Steve McIntyre's Climate Audit, another denier site. She has further embarrassed herself (and her university) by using refuted denier talking points and defending the Wegman Report, eventually admitting she hadn't even read it in the first place.[1] Curry has agreed with Trump's description of climate change as a "hoax", writing in 2016 that the UN's definition of manmade climate change "qualifies as a hoax".

1 means it's impossible to offer better voice recognition accuracy or change the wake word, meaning they get pilloried by reviewers for offering a device that's strictly worse than the current gen, and they get pilloried by HN for contributing to tech waste.

I think the biggest problem is authorization, you don't want random people on the Internet to be able to see your family photos. That's what Facebook solves.

The "Mythical Man Month" was specifically about challenges in software development with humans, so comparisons to cities and ant colonies aren't all that helpful. It is not a general purpose rule to be applied to any task that can be performed by n+1 people or ants, purely an observation on the nature of software development. I think many of us can likely attest to its frequent validity in that domain, even if it doesn't ring true in others.

Have you seen the footage of bombing of ISIS cash dump with US currency flying out? Guess the pallets of dollars going over there for reconstruction was the source.

It's a waste. Waste of spending, waste of effort, waste of resources. The human effort and material spent on that endeavor could have done a lot for this country.

Also morality aside, if we are empire, if we are going to police the world, we are doing so in a very unsustainable fashion.

This is just what I can't help but see. Maybe I'm wrong. Not really trying to argue but damn, this a big elephant of wasteful effort and resource allocation.
Why does everybody else copy them, then?

If it’s just clever marketing, you have to wonder why marketing is working so well compared to the innovation that other companies are presumably doing.
I'm a generally happy Echo owner but am getting increasingly worried these mistakes are only going to ramp up, especially with the new Drop In feature, allowing users to enable the microphone on any Echo -- not limited to their own -- given the appropriate permissions are in place.

Since a new story with no comments is my only chance to talk to anyone whatsoever, I just wanted to point out that I made a site. https://www.laarc.io

It uses the same codebase as Hacker News, but you can submit items to different lists. (Basically subreddits.) It’s kind of like a free version of pinboard.

Feel free to spam the site with anything you want. I’ve been collecting videos (https://laarc.io/l/videos) some essays (https://laarc.io/l/classics) and music (https://www.laarc.io/l/music).

It’s mostly an experiment, and unfortunately it’s quite unrelated to the FBI wiping DDoS sites off the internet. But on the other hand, if someone would like to try DDoSing the site, I would appreciate it. I can’t generate enough traffic to figure out whether the site will go down if it gets picked up by Reddit.

(Is there a legit DDoS for hire service that I can use on my own sites? `vegeta attack` is nice for local testing, but not so much simulating a massive influx of visitors.)

1) We can debate the frequency of this all we want (though I don't think it's useful). In my opinion the top (note this is an important qualifier) journalists are not lazy on purpose and in general are trying to deliver accurate information. You may disagree and that's fine. Also technology reporting is particularly difficult when you yourself are not a technologist, but that's a separate issue.

2) I'm not sure what point you are trying to make here. I didn't say that news isn't about finding the truth. But when describing complex systems and situations there is always going to be judgement applied in the distillation process. So for instance, you could say "Facebook provided private message data to some application partners" or you could say "Facebook's users inadvertently agreed to share private message data with application partners." Both are true.

It's because you don't know what you want and you are trying to fill the hole inside you with a manhole cover.

You want things at bigger scale, you yearn for the popularity which other famous founders have. You crave for their lifestyle.
I'll try that.

I use Virtualbox to compile CI artifacts for Ubuntu, Debian, OSX (homebrew), and Windows (msys2) by using the virtualbox executor of gitlab.

The other available gitlab-runner executors to build these artifacts cross-flatform are: virtualbox, parallels, docker, kubernetes.

Boxes and virt-manager aren't on that list, so they are out.

Parallels isn't FLOSS.

Can I use docker or kubernetes to build my desired artifacts?
So does hacker news consist of “engineering managers” who know html or is that simply who everyone wants to hire?

This whole conversation baffles me. The web is a sloppily-evolved designed-by-committee sofa-bed, nobody will ever feel completely happy with it, and it shouldn't be any other way.

Most of the time I work on "web applications", where the difficult part is managing the necessary complexity of the domain model and the user interfaces. JS and framework-happy architecture isn't perfect (not even close), but adding constraints like "the application must weigh less than a megabyte" or "the application must provide basic functions (?!) without JavaScript" turns what can be a fairly serious project into a clown-car pileup.

There's a faction of web people who want web applications to compete feature-for-feature with native apps. I'm closer to that camp for historical reasons, but I also understand that compromise on application features is completely worth it if the benefit is an (even partially) "open" platform for applications to build on.

But then there's this other faction of HTML purists who see the "true" web as necessarily document-based, declared with markup, typeset with CSS, and compatible with absolutely every computer system of the past 30 years. This makes perfect sense if you work for a magazine and see the web as a platform for open (and often static) content, and I'm sure some of them do understand the difficulty and the value of compromise, but I never hear that.

So now it's 2018, the "beat native apps" camp and the "documents for all" camp talk past each other through the years and nothing really changes. Maybe some people are in both camps and suffering from cognitive dissonance, who knows.

But there are good reasons why web applications don't do what Photoshop does, and good reasons why Photoshop doesn't even try to provide copy-and-pasteable URLs for every unique application state. There are good reasons why "serious" declarative application frameworks (like XAML) are a terrifying mess, and good reasons why building a CMS from scratch in C++ would be insane.
I'm a long time debian user and supporter and this is ridiculous. They are going insane over weboob an acronym for "Web Outside Of Browsers"? If people don't like it, then tell them not to use it.

And what's with the "our values" nonsense that so much of the tech leadership and business leadership have been using to justify censorship and their authoritarian behavior?

If they are going to remove weboob, then they should also remove man/pages, mongodb, git, gimp, strip, tail, head, gnome, etc. You can view anything as being offensive if you choose to.

So if debian somehow becomes a naughty word in our culture, will debian just shut down or change their name?

Also, does debian's "values" apply only to english? What if the names is innocuous in english but highly offensive in other languages? Will they remove it from the package list or demand the name be changed?

What is going on here? It's like someone released poison and the few people running things have turned into hypersensitive clowns.

Nixon's approval ratings were below 25% before he resigned. That's getting pretty close to what I expect is the floor (one in five is a pretty low bar and not a bad estimate for the number of loons among average citizens).
I see your point. I'm not calling for the removal of moral judgement from the conversation. I'm calling for the removal of moral condemnation. That is, we can have a discussion about what is right and wrong based on your value system, but condemning someone is a destructive act which is harmful and unnecessary.
You can do this with pretty much any tool you want. I also did it about 10 years ago with livecd-iso-to-pxeboot (and running from the generated initramfs)

Primary obstacles in 2018 are primarily the lackluster support for ro root filesystems. CoreOS/Alpine are fine. Writable memory filesystems are fine.

CoreOS is not even a little bit dead inside Red Hat after the acquisition. If you're not paying attention to the news from Fedora, CoreOS is alive and well, which says a lot about how it will go downstream.

The IBM acquisition is not final yet.

And you're not the only one. Outside of HN, in the real world, the average person doesn't set up a FreeNAS server or homelab for data storage, doesn't know how to do backups, and doesn't have nearly as much concern over privacy as the fear mongers here at HN, Reddit, and tech publications.

Fear mongering is nothing new, folks. The media is incentivized to cater to people in that way; this is why they use scare tactics and write BS articles like this one which boil down to "someone fucked up, sent the data for one customer to another customer". Furthermore, the article implies this mixup would NEVER have happened if the user's had not requested their data be released per GPDR.

The only valid question worth asking is this: are you willing to risk ANY chance of your data being compromised? Google/Apple/et.al. are not the enemy. For most users, convenience trumps security, and they will accept the minimal risk that comes with using services like Alexa and Google Photos.

FWIW, I've lost years of photos and data before on my first run-a-round with FreeNAS. It's not something that's just easy for the average user or even average developer to use and deploy reliably. I'm trying FreeNAS again now 4 years later, but it's taken way more work than I expected to understand my options and ZFS, and I'm still not sure I'll ever store anything critical on it.

Lots of comments about improving Siri here. This is interesting to me for several reasons I won't address, but I will ask this: Do people really use voice commands for, well, anything?

From a purely functional standpoint, they seem super awkward to me. I like buttons that click and reassure me of every input. I like to feel confident my actions won't be misinterpreted. I like that no one else near me will get weirded out or annoyed when I'm having trouble interfacing with whatever app I'm currently using. The only reason I can envision using voice controls for anything is in the car while driving, and you would only begrudgingly use them because it is overwhelmingly safer to have both hands on the wheel and your eyes on the road.

Apart from not enjoying voice controls from a functional point of view, is no one else creeped out at always on mics and video cameras in their house? In this era of super crappy security, especially with consumer grade stuff, there's a not insignificant chance your stuff is currently being hacked by one or more non-government bad actors (I already assume the US government, and probably a few other governments, already have 24/7 access to every mic and camera that is connected to the web in any way).

I've been assuming voice commands will die out and that this Alexa / Siri hype (hype might not be the right word. buzz? rumblings?) was a result of Amazon and Apple pushing them from a marketing perspective. The amount of comments about Siri in a thread about a random exec being added to Apple is making me re-consider that PoV.
Why do you need to select all rows in your Cubejs section when you can directly run query in athena and get back the aggregates you need.

Basically you select all rows then cubjs does something on those rows when you can infact directly run queries in Athena

Here's what Moxie Marlinspike has to say about the drawbacks of XMPP.

https://signal.org/blog/the-ecosystem-is-moving/

"XMPP is an example of a federated protocol that advertises itself as a “living standard.” Despite its capacity for protocol “extensions,” however, it’s undeniable that XMPP still largely resembles a synchronous protocol with limited support for rich media, which can’t realistically be deployed on mobile devices. If XMPP is so extensible, why haven’t those extensions quickly brought it up to speed with the modern world?

Like any federated protocol, extensions don’t mean much unless everyone applies them, and that’s an almost impossible task in a truly federated landscape. What we have instead is a complicated morass of XEPs that aren’t consistently applied anywhere. The implications of that are severe, because someone’s choice to use an XMPP client or server that doesn’t support video or some other arbitrary feature doesn’t only affect them, it affects everyone who tries to communicate with them. It creates a climate of uncertainty, never knowing whether things will work or not. In the consumer space, fractured client support is often worse than no client support at all, because consistency is incredibly important for creating a compelling user experience."
Any kind of thin client/zero client usage, where local storage is not required or allowed. Many years ago I used a similar solution for a finance company. The users just needed to get access to a browser to connect to a specific web service.

iPhone sales are down, which is why Apple stock is down about 30% from its highs.
Sure, but you wont know what it is or why it is.
It doesn't really come across as a framework, it's more of an API. A framework would allow you to invent new approaches (such as ODE networks), where-as this API supports the models that ship with it and nothing else. That's fine, but it's not in the same space as Tensorflow etc.
Or preferably, just split on word boundaries.
So my history includes a period of time at NetApp, which at the time was doing a pretty good job of creating appliances out of otherwise Intel motherboards with a lot of I/O slots.

Appliances with a way to customize them appropriately to the customer by either trained service personnel or technically astute relatives (so documentation has to be available).
> How are you SURE that smartphones will still be a thing in 20 years?

I'm sure someone asked a similar question about personal computers in the early 80's. They didn't go away when smartphones became prevalent, they became computational work-horses and in the same way an AR system will never be able to pack the computing punch and battery life of a smartphone.

But similar to how a smart-phone complements a PC, AR tech will simplify how we interact with specific parts of the world around us like navigation, notifications, and merge with existing tech like wireless earphones with noise cancellation and conversation/audio-enhancement to provide minimum necessary utility.

More features will bleed down the chain from PC to phone to AR, but with size comes certain advantages and disadvantages, and a large object can always hold more juice and computational power.

I think the biggest disruption will come from global low latency wireless internet - suddenly computational power can be uncoupled from the device and AR would be able to offload the power-hungry CPU/GPU's and large batteries needed for fluid and powerful interaction. But I'm not sure Elon Musk's satellite internet project will be that disruptor - so it might be another long wait until that next big thing happens.
Seem like 5 SEO trends that are already mattering a fair bit right now, given how Google is already using mobile indexing and brand mentions and page speed and what not.

Then again, I still wonder how much any of this stuff truly matters if your site/service/platform is big enough already. Plenty of large companies rank well for relevant terms even with terribly done websites that ignore every one of Google's suggestions, and the average news site nowadays is slow as all hell where things like page speed are concerned. Doesn't seem to be hurting them all that much right now.
