I guess it comes down to how you build a hierarchy with a belief or lack of one in Dunbar’s number. I honestly think a lot of this is too low a number of interactions and the requirement to have job titles and responsibilities common to other companies.

hiccuphippo is wrong here. Violet Blue was arguing that censorship by Internet infrastructure systems (Google, Tumblr, Instagram, etc.) is destroying the free-for-all of information including material about sex, kink communities, and so forth. By adopting censorship policies the Internet infrastructure providers make the world less free and less interesting. I agree.
Perhaps the parent missed something in the yada yada.

I'm not sure why people fail to see the benefits of free trade and specialization in their own lives. Just imagine working all day long, out in field, just to put food on your own table! Why would it be a good idea for certain size groups and not others?
there is a way, you give a lawyer a key, or put it in a bank vault and incorporate it into your will. the only reason it's not transferable by default is because people can't touch it without your permission, which is a feature, not a bug.

Salisbury University | Assistant Professor of Computer Science | ONSITE Salisbury Maryland

Salisbury University is a "Regional Comprehensive" university on the eastern shore of Maryland, serving almost 9000 students with a focus on teaching but with tremendous support of student and faculty research pursuits. It is a growing university in it's "space" of education, a little bit out of the way, geographically, but a great place to live if you want out of the big city but still like a diverse and active community.

Our CS program is growing, with huge support from the state and administration, and we're looking for basically all walks of computer science phd's. Check out our department (http://salisbury.edu/mathcosc/) and give us a look!

Disclosure: I'm a member of this hiring committee and a second-year tenure-track faculty. However, I cannot express enough what a pleasant surprise it has been to work here! I came from a strong R1 university, so was unsure of what I'd get, but when I visited to interview, the department and campus culture blew me away with how friendly and supportive they are of each other (especially compared to my high-pressure grad school experience).

In that case, you are not using Facebook because you don't like their service. Not because you don't like their stand on privacy. Since, if it is the latter, then all of them are equally bad. Also, don't specifically call out Facebook in that they are tracking without your account since everyone does the same as well.
That's like saying cryptography is faulty since if someone encrypted an important document and threw away the key, it would be irrecoverable. That's the point. As for solutions, there are many: use a multi-sig contract with several owners (like a spouse and/or lawyer), or simply leave the seed phrase to be released in your will. The proposed solutions that "may or may not work" are easy to test, I'm not really sure where you get your information.

chromecast audio is replicated trivially by chromecast + hdmi to audio converter(that you can buy for 5 bucks). i think the real problem is that the solution is confusing and people aren't linking up old audio systems. they're upgrading.

chromecast's ux was always waaaaay to complicated to understand for non-tech people and audio is it's first casualty.
Hi, I'm a younger version of you. I'm in the early stages of my career where I'm currently trying to build whatever I think will be useful to people. But I'm afraid a portfolio of projects might only demonstrate my technical skills.

How do I practically showcase that I am much more valuable as a person that understands a variety of roles and am able to unify them into a cohesive direction?

Also, what advice would you give to a 23 year old version of you?
Just stick a copy of your private key in a bank safe deposit box? That box will be inherited by your next of kin.

Of course at this point you are (sort of) trusting a bank with your money (so why are you using crypto, again?) but it's probably safe and the safe deposit box + its contents would pass through all the usual legal procedures around an estate and more than likely pass safely to the intended beneficiary.
Show HN: Danger World
Fb is not in trouble, is it?
A major issue this does not consider is that ads which are too accurate are often deemed 'creepy'. Turns out there was some recent research on this topic [1]. In another thread on digital advertising a user shared an anecdote of a company that met with poor response after targeting locals who were pregnant with new baby related promotions. But after masking the promotion in a packet of otherwise unrelated offers, it met with much better results.

Another thing here is that this information isn't going anywhere. All the information that you give up to companies can be exploited at their whim and to whatever end they choose. In this regard I think Cambridge Analytica was a really great thing. They were, all things considered, probably a very small player. But for people to realize that their personal information could be used for more than to try to sell them crap was an important lesson.

There are also things like the NSA who are now hoovering up immense amounts of information, facilitated by participating companies including Apple, Microsoft, and Google. Recent issues should show the problem here. The NSA is not immune to hiring people they should not (from their perspective) hire. Their secret tools get leaked. They themselves get hacked. And now there is this immense trove of potentially sensitive information that they're sitting on. That data is going to eventually end up in the wrong hands. It's also not out of the question that the NSA themselves eventually end up being the wrong hands. Without invoking Godwin's law here, it should suffice to say that bad people can get into positions of power and do very bad things. Pair this with profiles on everybody in the nation, and increasingly even the world, and it opens the door to some really catastrophic scenarios in the future.

So no, don't forget privacy.

Chinese face-recognition technology spots wanted man at 60.000-people concert
I understand, I just wanted to express how I think it's really specific to to the task at hand (and vent a little about annoyances of the past). CPU intensive and or GPU might be a bad case, but it also depends on how actively you utilize the systems. For some of my stuff, I have what's likely close to an ideal case, where systems are only needed for about 5 continuous hours each day, Monday through Friday. I can turn them up on start or work, and off 5 hours later, and pay a fraction the cost for a full time deployment in the cloud since other than disk I only pay for the compute used.

> it totals up to $40K a month

Yeah, it sounds like your use case is bad for cloud (not that I'm an expert), especially if you're able to get that all in one rack. It's a lot more useful if you have different layers that may need to grow at different speeds. For example, a front-end load balancing set of systems, a group of web servers to aggregate some back-end services for page display, different service clusters, and a set of databases (read-only replicas and master-master replication, etc). Both being able to scale some systems vertically (just allocate more RAM and/ro CPU to it) and other horizontally (just add more servers to a load balanced set) can be extremely useful, especially when the unexpected hits and you find you load is multiple times the normal amount all of a sudden and you need to provision now.
Huh, I never knew The Stygian Abyss had a PSX port. Fascinating.
Microsoft had mobile in its pocket - original win mobile that competed with Palm had the dominant market share, and it would've had more if they didn't nuke it with revamped win mobile.
Occupying parts of other countries (Georgia, Ukraine) with acts of ethnic genocides and making 200 000 refugees (Georgia), helping dictatorship regimes (Syria, Venezuela), interfering with other countries election processes, threatening other countries to make from them nuclear dust from government TV is not just cheap propaganda. It is a reality in which many people including me live (I am from Georgia). Russian government does not defends the interests of their people, it is a corrupted and aggressive government that only thinks about the well being of a bunch of its elite at the expense of its self population and other countries.
What do you mean “onboard to AWS”?

Onboard for what? Using what tools? What is the end goal you’re trying to achieve?

To me, this seems like a trivially simple pipeline for processing data, and in what is likely to be one of the most expensive methods possible, given the almost complete reliance on Lambda to do ETL on every single piece of data going through, and then storing all that data in S3, which you then query with Athena.

I don’t see how you could use this pipeline to process any non-trivial amount of data, and do so for anything remotely resembling a reasonable cost.

But maybe I’m missing something obvious?

Have you actually done the math for what this would cost on a per megabyte or per minute basis?

Have you run real world amounts of data through this system, and again for what purpose?
You should be able to do it with a camera, and tensorflow and traing on images with gestures.
Our hacker space has one $12k Stratasys that is ridiculously fast and creates superb parts. We also have half a dozen "monoprice" grade printers that are slow and sloppy and at least two of which are always broken or being upgraded/experimented-on at any given time.

Nobody ever uses the Stratasys.
Even with my limited insight I can tell that they were and still are vastly different companies.

This goes beyond what the customers think of the CEO. This is about culture, about employees morale, about attracting developers who may have been against using some of MS products in the past for all sorts of reasons.

Perhaps having Linux in Azure was inevitable, like you said, but I don't think something like the Linux subsystem stuff they implemented in Windows 10 would have been OKayd by Ballmer. Same thing with stuff like VS Code and the new switch to Chromium for Edge.

It's about a culture where these kinds of ideas are encouraged and can develop into features and products.

Why is Google so successful? Because the culture allows people's ideas to develop into what became huge products loved by millions of people.
Good to add that they were having some liquidity problems before his death.

The trip to India was supposed to open an orphanage. This orphanage was built by an organization that accepts large donations for specific buildings such as orphanages or water wells. For an orphanage, it costs $ 50,000.

It did not seem to me, when visiting this organization's website, that they have full transparency about these negotiations and these expenses.

And so far they have not released addresses for cold wallets. Okay, he had the private key. But public keys would have to be known by the system.
Yep, it was called "MSN Search" or something back then but it existed.

It seems to me the design flaw may actually be in the material of the ribbon cable itself; Apple has always been using slightly different plastics formulations (presumably for environmental or maybe cost reasons) than other manufacturers, and have had past issues with cracking and such.

I'm not sure what the material is, but the black cables they use don't look like regular (Kapton) ribbon cable to me. Ironically, it might be better being thinner, as then it can handle the same bend radius with less strain.

Edit: replacing the cable in the top half is very difficult yet probably still possible, judging by what the various Chinese phone repair shops have been able to do with glued-together screens.

No, they didn't. First, they pretended the issue didn't exist, while charging people hundreds of dollars for new keyboards. Then, they announced a "quality program", where they'll replace your broken keyboard with another, equally defective one for 4 years. So after the 4 years is up, your keyboard is going to break again, and you'll have to pay again or get a new laptop.

While they did change the keyboard design in 2018, there are still reports that the "improved" keyboard is failing as well:

There is already a well oiled machine for reading your secret-until-death instructions and distributing your possessions. Telling it about your private key storage media and passphrase is not exactly convoluted.

You could even leave parts of the key material with different lawyers/institutions, so that they would have to collude AND steal your hard drive/hardware wallet to access anything prematurely.
I mean I get it, it's popular to hate on apple because it makes money on youtube with the tech crowd. But what is most of the market facing?

Most of the market isn't upgrading ram. They aren't upgrading SSDs or batteries. They want their apple care to do it for them. I mean how many of these threads that self-select people with problems with their macs do we need? What are the real numbers?

It's not like Apple has a monopoly on laptops. There are plenty of other options. The competition is there. Yet Macbooks seem to be doing quite alright?
Great I just moved 50 dollars over and was going to use it yesterday but decided to wait. Cryto is like a game of hot potato where the most important thing is not to be the last holding the potato when the music stops.

These SOP's are older stuff, there are very different munitions that have a different demand.
In addition to the atomic tall boy, and fatman bombs we need to make different preparations for Neutron flux; nuclear EMP; cobalt salted munitions, and that puts us up to date.
in a few years we will have issues with unidirectional discharge munitions, essentially high energy gamma ray lazing devices, and if current directions of research pan out, nuclear isomer munitions of halfnium/actinium may be a concern if they prove to be feasable.

In any event a properly oriented and rivetted trench, and sealed water food supplies are the major necessities.
In my experience a while back when writing socket / IO code, I thought Rust was safer because standard library functions in Haskell (and other languages I experimented around with) could throw unchecked exceptions/errors.

Never mind about data races :).
Really interesting insight that the $12K Stratasys does not get used ...! Are members of the hacker space charged per print? Do the "monoprice" grade printers get used much? Thanks!
wait. so is that easy or hard?
So you have sensors all over the fingers, use that information to get the current gesture vector, then find the basis vector that makes up the majority of the current gesture, look up the word in a Map(gesture -> word), then pass the word to a TTS engine. That'd be a toy model. What they actually do is probably more nuanced and precise.
Language might play a role in this, with pretty aggressive aversion to communicating with outsiders in anything other than French.

Criminal law has/will come down hard upon Cosby and Weinstein and such. Other alleged offenders will settle claims and lose out on future employment.
