Any of these people might of might not have been ever in contact with the elusive "user".

I remember the magic of Pathfinder. The Martian landscape in panoramic colour for the very first time. It's almost mundane now, but back then it felt like the start of the science fiction age.

Then again, maybe it was.
He mentioned that he applied knn to handwritten digit recognition. A likely approach would be as follows.

Given a new vector that needs to be classified (say, x), it is compared with its nearest neighbors in the data set (let's call them x_1, x_2, x_3,..,x_k). A weighted average of the categories of the nearest neighbors is calculated to classify x.

That is to say, the category y that x belongs to is given by some function of categories of the nearest neighbor (e.g. weighted sum)

y = f(w_1y_1 + .... + w_ky_k)

where f() is a function that converts the continuous weighted sum to one of the integers representing the categories, and y_1,...,y_k are categories that x_1,...,x_k belong to, respectively.

The weights w_1,....,w_k can be determined by optimizing some error function.
Ask HN: How to report breach to Troy Hunt / haveibeenpwned?
I found a database dump of a (still active) forum I used to visit in early 2000s. The dump contains usernames, emails, md5 hashed passwords, and various other metadata.

I messaged Troy Hunt on Twitter but got no reply. Is there an official way to report a breach for haveibeenpwned? I would rather not tweet or post the link publicly, for obvious reasons.

I believe it makes life easier for consumers. What about if you have to maintain the api? And if it is that much harder to maintain is it really a smart choice unless the surface area of your api is the size of say Facebook's?
It sounds like they weren't nearly as productive.
These are employees of buzzfeed news, not buzzfeed, which produces pretty high quality content.
Which, although technically correct, is still quite misleading and misses out the fact that this was done purely as a precaution, since the actual crack causing the failure did not come from a passenger window [0] but rather the ADF aerial square cutouts in the roof. These are what the photograph in the article shows, and the position is also highlighted in the diagram there. The 'square' passenger windows, as pointed out in the wiki link cited above, had similar corner radii (or smaller in some cases) to those of the Boeing 377 and Douglas DC-7 aircraft.

Not wanting to belittle what you've done as it sounds like a really useful product, but this sounds like exactly the same way I use "highlights" on the Kindle.
I love the Bloomberg Terminal style. I watched one of my users retrieve some product information yesterday, a few key presses and it was there. Much faster than a web application.

The colour scheme also looks good. A black background gives you many more high contrast choices. Try using yellow or cyan on a light background. It seems most of the colours are based on the old 8-bit selection; red, green, blue, cyan, yellow, white and black. Orange seems to have been added as well.
This is a thread about libel and slander really. Not just being the butt of a joke. I included some links, one on civil tort and one on criminal defamation. The criminal defamation article has links from a variety of states and time periods.

edit: yes, just like in Brazil or Canada, there are some circumstances in some states with some judges where both comedy and offending someone can result in civil and criminal penalties, when those circumstances fit the criteria for libel, slander or defamation. the circumstances may be narrower in those United States than those particular countries due to the first amendment, or perhaps they may be broader because I don't know the particulars of those specific countries.
Are you serious? What money does making a joke on Twitter cost?

The money was spent because they chose to prosecute it, not the other way around.
The learning curve is much steeper with a dense interface. So if you only use a software occasionally you may be better off with a friendly looking interface that hides stuff from you unless you need it.
Shannon's theorem about perfect secrecy says that it is only attainable by ciphers that have similar key lengths to OTP. We can get a lot smarter but that theorem will stay.
To circumvent this, I think it would be great if user had to option to make a geofence. Like they could enable their Contact details being detected in a Conference/Meetup? networking event,as the person himself/herself will benefit from this. Then, outside a particular location your ID gets locked down sort of like location based -Smart Lock in smartphones.

No and I am not invested enough to prove this reality for you. I added some links that could help. Just realize that if this reality is true, then this knowledge is advantageous in maintaining your status and appropriating resources, and the people that already have those things already have this knowledge and take advantage of an unsuspecting population that was raised on a fictional social contract that doesn't really exist.

> Except users lie all the time.

That's the starting point for all the garbage enterprise apps I've ever used. Someone that has no clue what the users are doing makes a decision about how best to design an app that they don't even know how to test.

Don't ask them how to design the app. Ask them what they do with the app, then find the best way to get them where they need to go. Then let them test the first and second and third versions, and listen to their feedback without an assumption that "they just don't understand my genius".

It's important to distinguish between casual social media app users and power users spending hours of their day using an app to get their work done.
If anyone is interested, Erik Prince is also in Saudi Arabia:

He seems to have his hands in a LOT of things. Blackwater alone was a big deal, but the more interesting part is that it got re-organized as Academi and seems like into other companies as well. In short, it was never de facto shut down, or reduced in scope, at all.
Scientific literacy = using a grossly disproportionate made up example?

Got it. Or do you mean spelling out what a debt trap is? Is that 'scientific literacy'.

The arrogance of those who want to restrict others is so obvious: You think people are incapable of taking care of themselves. Then you think yourself capable of knowing whats best for them. While simultaneously talking about science. And disregarding people who actually were poor and went through those things. And ignoring the points being made, without giving counter points.

You didn't answer what happens when you remove this lender of last resort? I thought a 'scientifically' minded person such as yourself would be interested in digging for the truth.
That was my observation as well. I find the quality of work goes up dramatically when people are invested personally in the success of their part of it. "Signing up", to me, is about committing to that sort of investment, and it's the signal I look for to know if a team is going to be healthy. Not having that signal is a two-way street, though -- sometimes the answer is to restructure the work overall so that the pieces align better with what team members will sign up for.
We already have Twitter as a utility, its called ActivityPub and dozens of products and thousands of independent instances are now using it.

If Twitters higher ups were serious about "being a utility' they would federate on what is on track to become the browser social protocol from the W3C.
I worked at a company whose name begins with K ... exactly this happened. The 'old' UI was an ASP nightmare from the early 2000s but it contained all that the users loved. The new thing never took off, despite the CTO putting his job on the line for it.

Another company had a green-screen nightmare from the 1980s replaced by some mouse-driven mofre modern UI - ditto. The users could easily naviate with arrow keys, tabs, function keys. It was FAST. The new UI, and it's even newer HTML replacement, both needed the mouse.

Hard to sell and 2002 nightmare or a green-screen to a prospective client - but they LUURRRRVE a cool modern Angular UI, but the people who buy thing thing aren't the ones who have to use it.

Depending on the use case, I'd argue Spark can be a better choice for aggregating/filtering than SQL. SQL is great for simple queries, but once my queries start getting into the many hundreds of lines than I start to miss all of the complexity management features of a true programming language.

Its funny how gradients were cool in the 90's. Then became uncool and now they're cool again. Now everything is full of gradients - Stripe, Open AI, Apple's new iPhone promotions/wallpapers come to my mind.

I have a question - why are graphic designers all about trends? Whether it is brutalist design or back in 2010 it was all this material UI and flat design. Gradients are popular right now and everyone is jumping on it. In my view today's web designers are decorators than actually understanding the purpose and utility of design. You can't produce timeless design when simultaneously you're chasing trends.
What made you switch to development?
I would add: Stripe might build this for themselves, and Apple might one day provide a native API. But there is also a good chance that they buy this tiny YC startup instead - gets them two former Uber engineers and an instant working API. Another credible path to exit is to sell to a dumber, slower company - like Visa. Fraud is a huge issue and big companies in the payment space are always hungry for pragmatic solutions like this.
Sciter (https://sciter.com) then, as it is not like Electron - it is not using any web view at all.

But it does use HTML/CSS in the same way as WPF uses XAML for UI definitions.

Sciter allows to use best parts of two worlds: flexibility of HTML/CSS/script for UI definitions and richness, power and compactness of native code as Sciter is designed to be embeddable from the very beginning.

In what UI engine you can create your own HTML element with native C++ (Rust, Go, etc) controller when you need to?

I can tell you one key sentence from his post is "reports what I believe is the largest publicly disclosed effort of this type", where the key words are "publicly disclosed". From talking to pharma companies, they all have done virtual screening with larger libraries than what is reported in this paper. I'm not familiar with details of Novartis's efforts, but based on talks with other companies, I would not be surprised if Derek is familiar with virtual screens at Novartis that have been 1-2 orders of magnitude larger.

Many of the questions in virtual screening of large libraries are not answered in the paper as the authors did not look at them. As mentioned in the comments, they are using Enamine RealDB which has been around for a while, and Enamine has an even larger virtual library called RealSpace.

I don't disagree with him (though I don't necessarily agree as strongly with respect to triggers), but the counter argument is that it's extremely easy to put up a web service that offers an API and interacts with JSON. Now all the complicated bits are in the API service, and the multiple apps don't need to know anything at all about the underlying data store.

The counter to that is that it can be very difficult to get an API that is as comprehensive and flexible as SQL is, and eventually you'd find yourself re-implementing SQL if you ever tried. Certain reporting scenarios or mass data manipulation scenarios really require actual data store access in order to perform remotely well.
I work in information security and do you know the number of articles I see here on a daily basis that have their own jargon and doesn't help my life I wonder WTF is this doing here? This is a big forum with lots of people who do lots of things. This isn't "Rsanheim News", not everything needs to be custom tailored to your desires.

Since you work in the tech industry, you should be aware that Google exists and you can very quickly find out what a SIEM is (if you don't do log management you should look into it) and what a red team is (if you don't do security audits you should look into it) and hey, now you know what the subject is.
N4J's a lot slower at tons of common tasks. If you look into its underlying data model, it's clear why. It achieves the speed it does at certain graph-traversal operations by storing its data in such a way that it's highly specialized for those operations—one would expect this to come at a high cost for other operations, and sure enough, it does.

It also doesn't bother with tons of consistency guarantees and such that you (may) get from, say, PostgreSQL. Yet is still slower for many purposes.
It's not actually journalists per se that are the problem. They are the data collectors after all.

You still have a source of coercive influence making the act of journalism possible. Editor's want a spin, networks want truth massaged to optimize viewer metrics, to keep the financials healthy, so on and so forth.

Truth/neutrality is not highly incentivized in our current social structure.
3D-Printed Buildings Catch On, Prototype by Prototype
I have used jQuery in a React app without issues. It is no worse than making direct DOM calls.

React is great for rendering, but you can’t implement direct-manipulation on top of virtual DOM. Direct-manipulation means interactively resizing, drag & drop and so on. To implement this you need to know the position and size of real DOM elements. There is no "React way" to query the position and size of elements, so interactivity has to be implemented the old-school way, by interacting with real DOM. You can call native DOM methods to do this, but jQuery makes it easy. There are lots of shortcuts in jQuery. You can certainly do it without jQuery too, but unless reducing download size by around 85KB is very important to you, there is no reason you shouldn’t take advantage of the ease-of-use of jQuery.

Keep in mind that once you manipulate DOM directly (using jQuery or not) React can’t update those elements. For more on this look up "Integrating with Other Libraries" in React documentation.
Google Workers Lost a Leader, but the Fight Will Continue
I'll forever be scarred by a web app I made to make the workflow in a mainframe terminal obsolete. Was so proud of what I'd done and all the theoretical productivity I had enabled (hey, I calculated the numbers, and the manager signed off on it!).

But my only lasting memory of that app is that it probably didn't increase productivity as much as I thought it did when I looked at how they used it day to day, and only succeeded in giving them carpal tunnel syndrome due to all the extra mouse-clicking. The final conversation I had with those users is how their wrists were starting to hurt so much. But hey, I was moving on to another project. Hey, sorry to hear, here are some exercises for your wrists, see ya. Oh, by the way, did you ever try Powerball? Supposed to do wonders to make your wrists stronger.

I try not to be so narrow-minded about app design after that.
Pretty does not necessarily equal functional, useful, or value-adding.

edit: In retrospect, those users grocked that terminal interface with all their key shortcuts the way a seasoned developer or sysadmin would grock emacs. Imagine forcing such a guy to use point and click instead for everything. You'd have a riot. I can't believe I didn't see it at the time. Young and naive, and now also regretful for all those people's wrists.
On Twitter any form of context is lost pretty quick. But it's a formidable machine for viral marketing, no matter who is the target and what is the message. It's the most efficient social media but also the most toxic. It also became the main source of news for online media, who spend their time making up stories based on Tweets.

The Covington Catholic School incident is a perfect example of made up news originating from Twitter.

>Use color deliberately.

And think of the color blind. Especially dark red shouldn't be the only way this information is highlighted. 8% of men are the kind of red-green colorblind, where dark red and black is not easily distinguishable.

The example given in TFA is bad. Red should never be the sole indicator of an error. As you pointed out, color blindness is a thing.

The example should have also put an error glyph (like an exclamation point in a triangle, or the local equivalent) next to the problematic number. Or presented it in reverse, or with an unusually thick border. Anything but color alone.

It's also the individual's responsibility not to ruin their lives with drugs, or develop heart disease due to poor diet and exercise. People on average have poor impulse control for anything that's even a little addictive.

I'm not suggesting that regulation is the answer here, or always the answer. But, the case of moral blame is not the same as describing the problems of large portions of the population. So what if we all agree it's the individual's fault that obesity has been on the rise for decades? Does the blame here modify the severity of the problem, or prescribe an outcome? How useful is moral blame really, when it comes to societal problem?

True, but the issues the article discussed could also be directed at the internet in general. No one is curating everything on the internet, and through email fake news can easily become viral.

Facebook makes it easier for such things to occur, but the virality of fake news and mob organization is in general due to internet technologies. If not Facebook, maybe it would have been AOL or MySpace, or some other enterprising social network.

Picking out Facebook seems to be scapegoating a particular company for the ills of global communication. Before the internet age we had newspapers and pamphleteers and the like which similarly spread fake news and instigated the mobs.

On the other hand, Facebook might have a unique opportunity to help educate people on how to think critically about the news they see.

I think the real issue is that Facebook has a whole lot of money, so now people can start suing Facebook and get their hands on some of that filthy lucre.
