A few tips:

If this is your own work, you should post it as a Show HN (see https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html and https://news.ycombinator.com/show).

Add a first comment to the thread giving the backstory of how you came to work on this, and explaining what's different about it. That tends to seed discussion in a good direction.

On HN it's a bit of an antipattern to have your username be the name of your company or project. It creates a feeling of using the site for promotion and of not really participating as yourself. Better to have a username that represents you as a human being, but of course it need not be your real name. If you want to change your username, email us at hn@ycombinator.com and we'll help.

Good luck!
Thanks for the numbers. This confirms some suspicions but also refutes others: not a lot of legacy kids at Harvard, but their parents are still largely wealthy and mostly White / Asian.

I think it’s fine for Elastic to seek to go to a non-open-source license (whether source-available or not) for new developments or portions of their code. It’s also fine for others, including AWS, to take the open-source portions and fork/continue developing on the open source fork. In such a situation, I’d expect open to win over proprietary.
Ask HN: How do the pitch for a hardware company differ from a software company?
Am hoping to tap into some minds who have done it or seen it before. If I am pitching a hardware startup and asking for funding, what do investors look for and how does it differ from a similar pitch for a software company?
People who claim that top schools have excess budget have no idea how expensive it is to run them. Pledges are a total ok way of funding scholarships and other benefits for the student community on those schools. One "stupid rich" student enabling "smart poor" ones.
I recall I watched too much CNN in the mid-80s and my recollection is that news network was right out front in promoting crack as a special case drug problem that required special law enforcement.
I guess “seems too good to be true” is an OK marketing problem for us to have.

Looks amazing. Just recommended it to a few of my friends who are considering moving into a career in technology. I hope this becomes a new model for education, both tech and non-tech.
If this is the case across the school, then perhaps the entire school curricula is not designed well.
He's asking, how do you give a good as a gift or payment that is public, free, and open?

It's like asking for an "in kind" license to the Declaration of Independence, it just makes no sense.
I’ve become convinced that anything which makes us experience strong feelings has the potential to be compelling. Add to that the difficulty many of us have with letting things go, and you have a recipe for intellectual/emotional “crack” as you say, in the online world. Offline we tend to pursue extreme feelings in ways that don’t erode our relationships with others, or give us a bad reputation, but online those controls tend to fall away.

It’s a tough problem that seems like it requires commensurate energy (mods) to control.
Fastmail has a nice (and snappy) web interface. So you don't _need_ to set up a desktop client, unless you want to.
Depends on how they grade. I went to Purdue and pretty much every math and CS class was bell curved around a C and D's aren't passing grades which was pretty brutal and a very effective form of weeding out people since a portion of each class is forced to retake it. Hence why Purdue frequently rates as one of the hardest grading colleges.

Much easier to get into then the ivy leagues though.
I think it would've been cool to have a database for anonymous complaints at most of my previous jobs.
Or just an HTML page with no styling, which can be copied/pasted into Word to preserve formatting, or saved directly.
The other, gigantic shoe that will someday drop will be Google transcribing every incidental conversation. It can already do that, on-device, for every song that's heard, ever. It's a super power, being able to remember every word spoken around you, time and place, but of course it has privacy implications even if all the work is done without their cloud.
Have to admit my American ignorance here, but outside of music schools I cannot think of any major elite universities outside of maybe oxford and Cambridge? I’m curious if Europeans could name a few Ivy League American universities? Maybe I’m the uncultured exception, but I don’t think most Americans even talk about foreign universities (I have no doubt to our own disadvantage)

"American government contributed around $22.2 billion in direct and indirect subsidies to the dairy sector in 2015."

That's over double the amount that New Zealand's dairy sector (grass fed, not housed in sheds) makes from exports each year. Not only is the industrial US system inefficient and subsidised, but the milk quality is poor as well. And let's not avoid the question of burping cows and Methane emissions.

No, it does not.

The claim is that crime increased due to out-of-area people coming to a Wal-Mart. People congregate in a Wal-Marts. The proportion of in- vs out- of-area people may differ, but there are a lot of people there. This means crime, especially because it is a store that can be shoplifted from. Much of this crime was displaced from elsewhere, because those same people weren't elsewhere.

In other words, it does not follow this crime was due to out-of-area people, since the crime would have increased regardless.
I'm a developer and not a pilot but I think that's pretty relevant. In both of those (two separate) cases, the pilots were aware of MCAS (it's not supposed to run when autopilot is on, right?) and tried to avoid any interference from it, yet they experienced interference anyway. One of those examples was nose down which sounds like MCAS and the other was unexpected leveling off at the wrong altitude.
NoScript users aren’t disabled. There is no reason to even consider people that willingly disable themselves.

Then you eliminate high schools like the one I went to where, we spent 10s of hours in labs per week to be competitive for college. How are you going to incorporate electrical engineering or materials science into a standardized exam and meaningfully compare our results to our peers?

Chrome is by far the slowest modern browser at large CSS animations. I had to dumb down a recent site I worked on to make it barely functional in Chrome.

DOM instruction speed, last I checked, was twice as fast in Chrome compared to Edge but still dozens to hundreds of time slower than Firefox.
I really don't get how that can reasonably be considered a better predictor of a successful university degree than previous grades and application tests, without some serious mental gymnastics.
Is there a website you can link to or a way for people to find out more?
Some systems are simple enough and important enough that speeding them up with computers just ain't necessary. I can see how in a direct democracy, where many issues are voted on, it may seem reasonable to do it. However if an issue is important enough ought for it to be out directly to the people then it is important enough that we can wait for 24-48 hours for a result.
Guys, I love this!
> a very effective form of weeding out people since a portion of each class is forced to retake it

This seems really pointless.
probably because Apple doesn't have hardware acceleration for vp8. They don't want developers to use it. It'll be an inferior UX. Less battery, hotter device.

It's a bit arrogant for them to compare battery life of h264 to vp8, as they've chosen not to support hardware accelerated vp8. All Android devices have had this for years.

I'm hoping this all settles out with av1. Netflix and Amazon will support av1, so that doesn't leave Apple with much choice.
Just have multiple "save as" options.

“Almost no chance of exploitation.”

How true is this?
Not a pilot here (developer) but doesn't "nose down" imply trim? If so, one of those pilot reports in the Dallas News story does say that they experienced uncommanded nose down. Both pilots were aware of MCAS and discussed it before the flight. Another one who also knew of MCAS reported uncommanded leveling-off at the wrong altitude. Is that not trim, too?

It’s great that you have an opinion about the benefits of a SPA for slow connections and other people (lower comments on this thread) have opinions about how “easy” it is to implement request retries and caching/service workers.

I have an opinion too. But my opinion and your opinion really are moot.

Because do you know whose opinion is probably backed by the most data and the most expertise? Google’s Gmail team.

And Google, with all its amazing developers, who are arguably at the forefront of javascript standards and general web app innovation, and who have literal billions of visits, they have made the decision to give you a link and tells you to use a basic, server-side rendered web app if you have a “slow connection.” And they do this while attempting to boot up all the PWA/SPA framing of the main app, just in case, I don’t know, all that stuff fails.

So I think I’m going to give Gmails opinion a lot of weight here
Given that there seems to be no security impact (and none expected in the next year or two)...

Curious why everyone doesn’t agree to use 64 bits in future and just let the mis-issued certs live out their natural life?

True.

2^63 and 2^64 are effectively the same cost to break. Instead of costing $2X to break, it now costs $X.
Instead of having Internet connectivity 24/7 for IoT devices or critical infrastructure, why not have a small window for things like updates and so on, but be physically air-gapped the rest of the time? The window doesn't have to be at the exact same time either: if you need 20 minutes to download and apply updates once a week, then you can start that 20 minute interval at anytime on whichever day. The air-gapping could also be done using analog means or another network that isn't connected to the Internet.

The best solution would be to be air-gapped 24/7, but in cases where that is not possible, there are other viable and more secure approaches than being online 24/7.
I'm still a bit unsure what this does (not my field). Is it a sort of schema transform for json?

Couple of reasons.. class sizes, access to cutting edge technology and research and professors. Undergrad is probably more uniform except for some degree requirements etc... at a smaller school you may get more hand holding or at least a concerned advisor. At a bigger school that may be impossible. Not to mention your peer group.
Seems like a lot of hand wringing over nothing, security is done with huge factors of safety (moving to 256 bit keys when no one had ever broken a 128 or even 96 bit key). It's hard to imagine that 1,2, or even a quarter of the bits couldn't be zero-ed.

> it’s easy to think that a difference of 1 single bit would be largely inconsequential when considering numbers this big. In fact, he said, the difference between 263 and 264 is more than 9 quintillion.
Looks like a great start! Would be nice to be able to search by location only to know if any schools near me have been reviewed.
(Some) Greeks also thought the planets were embedded in "quintessential" spheres and that force was proportional to speed.

When China does it to Tibet, it's genocide. When Western governments do it to their domestic populations, it's diversity?

Asia is for the Asians, Africa is for the Africans, but the West for everybody? I'd love to see your kind go to South Africa or Saudi Arabia and declare there's not enough diversity. Diversity of thought, not of race, is the strength!
What I'm trying to point out is that if you had asked someone whether any of those examples were "pattern matching" prior to the discovery that neural networks were so good at them, very reasonable and knowledgeable people would have said no. They would have said that generating sentences which make sense is more than any system _which simply predicted the next character in a sequence of characters_ could do.

Given this track record, I have learned to be suspicious of that part of my brain which reflexively says "no, I'm doing something more than pattern matching"

It sure feels like there's something more. It feels like what I do when I program or think about solutions to climate change is more than pattern matching. But I don't understand how you can be so sure that it isn't.
I think most people put meritocracy and aristocracy on opposite ends of a continuum, in terms of strictly applied denotation. But in practice in America, they're two sides to the same coin because the aristocrats define what is meritorious and judge who has it, including ensuring their friends and family get access by lowering ladders. That's how meritocracy is a trap, because it inevitably ends up corrupting itself.

This scandal tells me is that a bunch of rich people are sad that the ordinary methods of a gamed system already highly in their favor isn't good enough for them. The privilege they have isn't enough, they needed different and additional ladders to get even more, as if this is innovation and is itself merit, that's how brazen it was.

Bill McGlashan, CEO of TPG private equity, was indicted in this scandal, charged with both the college entrance exam cheating scheme and recruitment scheme. As reported, even his son's exam answers would be changed (corrected) without his knowledge. How would meritocracy before this scandal have evaluated McGlashan? I think rather highly considering his actions and work with Bono, etc. And yet here he is saying that system isn't good enough for him and his son, he had to corrupt it, to get what he really wanted. It's a stunning indictment of the meritocracy we actually have.
It will be quite interesting to see what the cause of Venezuela's ongoing power blackout is. On the one hand the government of the country is deeply incompetent, but on the other shutting down power is a normal precursor to kinetic conflict and the US has been making a lot of war talk about Venezuela and has a track record of doing that exact thing in other places.

Still not getting the whole picture.
Especially in the case of an intubated patient with neuromuscular blockade, I don’t think an EKG would be useful. You’re already going to have all kinds of fluctuations from the anesthesia, muscle relaxants, analgesics and just from the intubation. I’ve read about the use of EEG [1] as a way to detect awareness, but it has serious limitations. Most of all though, many anesthetic agents have a profound effect on the autonomic nervous system, and I don’t think your body would react as it would if you were conscious. You probably wouldn’t have a significant increase in heart rate, you’re already not breathing on your own, you probably wouldn’t sweat or cry either.

High-entropy certificate serial numbers are a defense against hash collision attacks. The margin of security is reduced to the point that a brute force attack is twice as easy. If it was going to take you 10,000 years to brute-force it, now it takes you 5,000, both of which round to "impossible." If it was going to take you four weeks on EC2, now it takes two weeks, both of which round to "entirely too easy."

I don't know exactly why, but reading this made me extremely sad and nostalgic. The very much social world of instant messenger and plain old web pages pre like-ified and follow-ified social media seems like a quaint anachronism, now. I suppose it really is, if it was 15 years ago.

Some of you will correctly point out that those communities are still there on IRC and in the forums right where I left off, ready to be picked up, and you're not wrong. I suppose it is me that has changed and gotten older as well, and the world doesn't feel as magical as it did at that time. My internet, its media, and the people I shared it just seemed to electrify me so much more. Now, everything feels so dull and grey. But, perhaps nothing has changed so much as what and how I consume. What would younger me think of the mindless, lazy way I consume content on social media, and my corporate job?

It would be really nice to see slow content and the digital village return again as cultural norms. Until then, I'll just have to make deliberate choices to choose them as I once did. I really wish I could make a time machine and talk to my younger self to knock some sense back into me. It's painful to look at how much fun I used to have with technology and how little I do now.
I'm guessing Connectionist Temporal Classification: https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~graves/icml_2006.pdf
From the database, #1597286, "agressive" uncommanded nose down.

Day 3 of 3 departing in a MAX 8 after a long overnight. I was well rested and had discussed the recent MAX 8 MCAS guidance with the Captain. On departure, we had strong crosswinds (gusts > 30 knots) directly off the right wing, however, no LLWS or Micro-burst activity was reported at the field. After verifying LNAV, selecting gear and flaps up, I set "UP" speed. The aircraft accelerated normally and the Captain engaged the "A" autopilot after reaching set speed. Within two to three seconds the aircraft pitched nose down bringing the VSI to approximately 1,200 to 1,500 FPM. I called "descending" just prior to the GPWS sounding "don't sink, don't sink." The Captain immediately disconnected the autopilot and pitched into a climb. The remainder of the flight was uneventful. We discussed the departure at length and I reviewed in my mind our automation setup and flight profile but can't think of any reason the aircraft would pitch nose down so aggressively.

This sounds very similar to the MCAS problems on the other flights, and these pilots were aware of MCAS (this is post Lion Air).
I just emailed you another suggestion that might help. Will check email again in about an hour.
Fundamentally the situation has not changed much. You redownload the code every time and servers could deliver tailored compromised versions if ordered so by some TLA. Which means audits have limited values since they can't attest that what they have seen is actually what anyone gets.

Compare with native tools which you only download once, can check its signatures and which strive for reproducible builds so that multiple parties can verify them independently.

Agreed on Project Rho, it mixes entertainment and intellectual stimulation to the point I occasionally find myself giggling. Good point about reactionless drives too!
That article on first reading appears to be a balanced and well-argued article, but it concerns me that other articles on that site appear to be literally concerned with Holocaust denial and are generally israel-obsessed; alongside other far right wing and outlandish conspiracy theories.
