Try asking for an SLA or any feature development or 24/7 support. You'll see why people think Okta and Auth0 are expensive. ;)
The Signal Protocol only covers the E2E encryption of message content (and related activities like key management). Think of it more like OTR from the old IM days, but more deeply integrated into the product and invisible to the user.

All the other protocol bits are very much WhatsApp-specific.
Out of curiosity where are you located? I chatted with my partner, a K-6 teacher and here they get 30 minutes to eat followed by 30 minutes to play or go to an activity (like choir). This seems reasonable to me.
Deactivated Facebook with 2FA, now can't reactivat and 2FA doesn't work
I deactivated the account, removed all the 3rd party apps with 2FA, now I want to reactivate it, it's asking for the 2FA code which is not working. No SMS nor Code generator.

I have the password and the number associated with the account, no email access tho :((

Pleasee Help :((
Is it me, or does their blog not support RSS/Atom? Trying to add it to feedly and it's not recognizing any feeds.
I still get the old-style suggestions from time to time. It seems like the functionality is still there to display videos related to the one you're watching, but half the time it displays the same mix of recommendations you get on the youtube homepage. I'm not sure what it is that triggers the related video recommendations instead of the "personalized" recommendations.

I went through a "This Old Tony" binge a couple months ago because i stumbled upon one of his videos and youtube kept recommending more. But that seems to be the exception rather than the norm.
I would hope that the richest country in the world could endeavor to be better run than Somalia.
So what you are saying is Trump is risking the countries security for a wall.
Not an expert, but I think the point of having the receipt of postmark gives you a paper trail that says you filed on that day. Whether or not it made it to the USPTO.

I assume this means you would have to ship from the post office directly or your tracking at least gets an update beyond "label created." Typically, the first tracking step I get is for my city's distribution center.
The article concludes with that.

I don’t see how you can justify linking to mobile Wikipedia and calling someone else a retarded fuckstick in the same post.
Which is frustrating as its a self-fulfilling prophesy, treat people like shit, and when that department/gov agency doesn't work well blame it on vague big government rather than the fact you don't pay competitively and you ran out everyone who had talent. Government service should be honored, these people take a pay cut in most cases to keep OUR society running. I miss the days when public service was respected.
Matt, you guys should switch JHipster to FusionAuth! Less IBM-ness you know. ;)
For some insane reason, no matter what video I watch, I almost always get recommendations for Penn & Teller. Doesn’t matter that I don’t care about that even a little bit, and haven’t watched one of their bits for years. Doesn’t matter that I was just watching a technical tutorial. Doesn’t matter that I was just listening to a music video. Doesn’t matter if I just played a Thomas and Friends video for my kid. I mean, wtf? I want a “why am I seeing this recommendation” button at this point, because my curiosity has gotten the better of me and I want to see how this magic trick is done. Oh, hey, wait a minute...
ah that's a nice false equivalence.

Administration bloat. I really wish costs were more transparent so we could reason about what drives cost. Doesn't seem sustainable that Hospitals are businesses, but that's the capitalistic way of solving things.
Let me block channels from appearing in my recommendations. Obviously I don't like that channels content, so I don't want to see it.
> We already have to pay through the nose for medical care, so where is all this money going that these hospitals need to ask for more?

I was curious why this is happening now. Someone mentioned it may be because I was using an adblocker or had privacy settings on google too high, I haven’t checked.

Currently I see absolutely zero related content next to the current video I’m watching, from the current user or the subject matter.
I was wondering if the gig economy firms are seeing an uptick. People driving Uber, dogwalking, food delivery, etc.

A fair few people don't have a lot of savings, as in will end up with no cash at all if they're not paid.

Even if you wanted to keep working for deferred pay, if you're in that situation you'd need to do something quite soon.

I suppose modern day loansharks are also having a great time.
The rhetoric in this article is disingenuous. Regardless of your political persuasion, there is an enormous difference between someone walking across the border for a single day to purchase a good or service in another country and an economic refugee seeking permanent or semi-permanent resettlement in a host nation.

Americans heading for Cancun are not "vacation refugees" either.
I see people using them all the time. I tried with my current phone but I took it off once I realized it broke my wireless charging.

Right. Talking about "Calvin", he says:

> Nonetheless, it was able to bring the processing of that transaction to completion without having to abort it. It accomplished this via restarting the transaction from the same original input.

I may be misunderstanding, but if you have transactions recorded in such a way that any worker can replay from any point in time and reach the correct database state, then the transaction log must absorb all of the complexity. The problem has moved, but not changed.
Not trying to say you can't do it - I'm sure I'm just not informed enough.

However, I don't see how MVCC could fix a multi-worker issue that would cause category (1) aborts in your scenario.

With MVCC, if another worker concurrently modifies a record ( say 'Y'), I continue to read the pre-modified value once I've read it. So my value for Y may be incorrect between the time I check it's greater than 0, and the time I set X to 42. My constraint check was invalid.

At this point you either have a transaction that can't commit despite your guarantee it can (because my conditional passed!) , or an 'eventual consistency' model where the consistency will be reconciled outside the scope of original change (and in this model you wouldn't use 2PC anyway).
If action X is unethical/immoral in some situation S, this in no way implies that for all situations, X is unethical/immoral. See killing people for an example, perhaps, or maybe telling people they are (not) ugly?
Software that uses the user's public key as the user's identifier (or potentially something that uses namecoin) do not have this issue - consider tox and ricochet for example.

No. Each process is independently checking the value of a non-changing snapshot of the state of the input data and we therefore do not run into the impossibility result.

The second sentence seems to contradict the first. What about the insurance providers?
If I'm aware of the consequences of a failed analysis upfront, yes.
The article is about Americans going to Mexico for cheaper healthcare options. It gives an accurate picture of that situation, and the title is an accurate indication of what the article covers.

It is not about the separate issue of "traffic trying to get into the US", so even if that happens to be your primary concern, attacking it for not covering that seems rather nonsensical to me.
> I can honestly say that I don't think we can fathom what would happen during a multi-week or month power outage.

Pretty much anyone living in a rural or semi-rural area where freezing rain sometimes happens in the winter or hurricanes sometimes happen in the fall has experience with a week or longer power outage. It wouldn't be "business as usual" but a lot of people would be fine. The intersection between those people and people posting on HN just happens to be low.
That sounds more like an allegation that Dalvik was lacking a required license from Oracle, not that it was violating any existing license.
I’d like to throw something out here as maybe a starting point for a discussion: we should immediately make it illegal to have medical insurance in the US. Everything should be out of pocket. Period.

After initial chaos, misery and death, we would have no choice but to restructure healthcare system in a manner that its costs are in line with what people can afford to pay with their salaries.

Ok, that was pretty radical. :)

An Ethical Crisis in Computing? – Dr. Moshe Y. Vardi [video]
Yes, indeed, missing even one pay cycle can be very hard for many people. For furloughed workers the shutdown is paid vacation with deferred pay (they always get paid for that time off); they can actually get second jobs during that time. It's the essential employees that this whole thing is most unfair to.
There seems to be people around who still think NSA mass surveillance is a conspiracy. Heck, don't the flat earther think round earth is a conspiracy? One mans theory is another mans conspiracy.

What the Big Short taught me about event-driven investing
Fun (maybe not applicable) fact here, but there is a huge history of privatizing tax collection. In fact, we coincidentally have that to thank for the foundation of logic and memory!

Pascal, as a teen, essentially invented the calculator (albeit a very slow version) for his father; the device was called a Pascaline [0], and he built it because his father was a "tax collector" in 17th century France.

In those days, tax collector meant that you would buy the right to collect 'x' in government taxes (and keep for yourself), for 'x - $discount', where $discount was the balance of 1) what the government believed was worth them avoiding collection themselves, 2) what the tax collector believed they could still reasonably profit from the difference of.

Quality of Open Source Software: how many eyes are enough?
It was causing a narcolepsy-like condition which caused me to experience extreme drowsiness and lethargy and fall asleep at inappropriate hours in my apartment.

My doctors couldn't figure out what it was because every time I'd go get bloodwork done, I'd be out of the house and the symptoms would clear up. I thought it was due to age and that I was simply getting tired when I got home. It took me nearly two years to realize the fatigue didn't happen when I was spending the night somewhere else. I read an article on CO2 levels affecting quality of sleep a few days ago here on HN and it dawned on me that the symptoms weren't happening when I was out of my own apartment and I'd sealed and weather-stripped the apartment shortly before the symptoms began.
It would actually make product development a lot harder. You have three end-user apps developed by different teams, supporting different content, wrapped in different structures. Managing the differences when sending messages from one to another is probably going to result in very weird and inconsistent user experiences, especially in the shorter term.

Also, because of E2E encryption, the server infrastructure really cannot do the sort of content translation necessary to make things seamless.
So-called software patents are always drafted as machines that can perform the claimed actions. These machines are comprised of one or more hardware components, including some hardware components that can execute machine readable instructions.

(There really is no such thing as a software patent.)
Yep, my recollection (from stories on-line) is that there was a debate within the team between launching with 3rd party apps or limiting most third parties to web apps. That debate was settled when they realized that they wouldn't be able to get an app platform up and running before the launch anyway.
Are hospitals actually struggling?
Right, also it's for "any patent licenses granted to You under this License" - if Apple owns the patent, they have no need for Swift's license to grant them a patent license. They own it. (They are not being licensed the patents by the government, and they're certainly not being licensed them under the terms of Swift's license.)
I wonder what their approach is to 'ungrateful' patients – the ones who get billed every little things, or are otherwise unsatisfied with the service?

It is after all a service in the US. It's transactional. I'm happy medical science solves my complaints, but the way it's set up I'm not often left with an overwhelming sense of gratitude to the hospital.
Americans call it ROTC - free college but you have to march around campus for 4 years, and do (5 years?) when you graduate. GI bill also pays college tuition in exchange for military service. some NGOs like Peace Corps and possibly Teach for America will also provide tuition reimbursement.

Changing the model to adopt more civilian alternatives would remove a big incentive to join the military, so I doubt thats going to happen anytime soon, they're already having a historically hard time recruiting.
Nonprofit hospitals soliciting donations from former patients is the least controversial thing possible. The part where they screen patients and give them preferential treatment is worrisome. I think the cited bioethicist had it pegged with the "not illegal but unseemly" (paraphrased).

If hospitals are going to treat indigent populations, absent universal healthcare, they are going to operate at losses and require grants and donations to operate.
Yes, that's why you need independently developed and independently distributed client software. Otherwise there's no meaningful compartmentalization.

The parent poster is not rejecting end-to-end crypto itself, but how it's typically done. (on a locked phone you don't really control in an autoupdating app you don't control at all) Web based end to end encryption is even more ridiculous (say mega.nz for example), because then it's even more trivial to distribute different code to differnet users.

If anyone is interested in a similar idea, but using javascript (or React), this reminded me of a project I heard of a while ago: https://github.com/parro-it/libui-node. It's built on top of https://github.com/andlabs/libui, "a portable GUI library for C" and it powers a truly native React Native for desktop: https://github.com/kusti8/proton-native.

One question: is there a reason you opted for PyTorch over Keras? I had the impression that Keras was the go-to for "easy as ABC" neural networking.

EDIT: bonus question! I'm really fascinated with gameplay agents like AlphaGo and more recently AlphaStar. If I finish this course, will I have what I need to start work on a toy version of some gameplaying agent? If not, could you recommend where I could go next to start exploring that area?
Yes it does...

Members only unions are explicitly in the National Labor Relations Act.
That doens't make it any less sick really (as applies to all software patents). But it's especially sick in the context of programming languages.
I would love to see youtube add more videos to the recommended section. Right now I believe the limit is 18. When you load the homepage it shows you 12 tiles and you can click "show more" to display 6 more for a total of 18.
Aren't a lot of these hospitals where "admin bloat" is an issue, actually non-profit? That doesn't strike me as very capitalistic. Capitalistic enterprises have residual claimants, who hold formal equity in the business and thus face a crystal-clear incentive to minimize costs and maximize perceived quality-of-service. Non-profits don't.
How are you defining "professional" in this context?

There's a classical sense of professional it seems you're reaching for, but I'm having a hard time thinking of a non-professional white-collar worker which would do better in federal government than the private sector.

Eg, surveyors are clearly professionals. Software developers? IT?
For every worker to be able to determine whether the transaction will abort or not requires that all workers have the information necessary to make this decision available to them (so data has to be duplicated).

So I'm wondering if this information is available, then is there any speed-up left available for there to be an advantage to a distributed database? Maybe there is no difference between non-distributed vs. distributed but with the slowdown from having the commit protocol.
It'd be better, in my estimation, to adopt the system used by Commonwealth countries (iirc) wherein failing to pass a budget triggers elections for representatives. I'm dead sure if that were the case here we wouldn't have this problem.

i wouldn't say collapse, just that the status quo is surprisingly durable. there won't be a significant improvement in quality of experience for LA's public transit riders.

the existing local political processes seem insufficient. i've seen it play out this way for a long time.

but i believe an externally imposed shock (e.g. oil rising to $5000/barrel or a deep local economic depression) might accomplish what local politics cannot

The reason they are going to Mexico are for dental care, not doctor care. They are also going because of the cost and lack of insurance, not of the wait times. The wait time for dentistry in the US is just north of 8 minutes[0]. Also, your numbers seems off by an order of magnitude. MRI wait times are 2-4 weeks [1].

Public transportation is indeed good, I didn't have a car when I lived there. Now I live in the countryside so I have a Toyota.

But as someone who lives outside of Oslo it is hell visiting my friends that still live there if I want to bring my children and need to use the car.

It's also almost impossible to bike around in the winter as the snow clearing efforts are not really up to standards anymore.

While I support less cars in the centre I think they went a bit too far in this case.

Why not? Who are you to decided what should and should not be recommended? Maybe I would enjoy watching some flat earth theory. Maybe watching it will help me understand it better so I can have a civilized conversation with one when I come across them. What about other conspiracies? What if I am researching conspiracy theories? Wouldn't flat earth theory is relevant to me?

'There is a discussion to be had about some topics at the edge...but 2PM everyone agrees is part of daytime; the flat earth 'conspiracy' should never be recommended to anybody.'

It should be recommended to anything to whom it would be relevant to. That's the whole idea behind recommendation system.
