It's really noisy poll-to-poll; really, I'd be skeptical of anyone claiming that there is much of a meaningful trend based on it. Pew’s series which separately tracks partisans and leaners might be more useful for spotting trends, but they do take seem to have really recent data public in that series.

If that's the case then it's an evolution of video content and a totally different story than the creepy teenagers stuff. Because one of the big advantages of YouTube is that the content is sort of compressed. There is less filler content like a TV show would need to complete a time slot. The content is more information-dense. These apps take that up a notch or two.

That doesn't necessarily work for everything but for many things cutting out the fat is going to deliver more information in a shorter time.

Then there’s the sugar beer marketing board that used to exist.

Then Canada just bought them out. Sugar beet farmers grew something else, and US companies built their candy factories in Canada to avoid the US tariffs on sugar.

And possibly our coke has real sugar, I can’t figure out for sure.
Congrats on launching! On this:

> Our main differences compared to Clerky, LegalZoom, RocketLawyer and similar solutions are: 1. we focus on startups, which makes the content more tailored

We (Clerky) are exclusively focused on startups. We started Clerky specifically because there was no online service that was suitable for startups. Not sure if you meant for that first point to only apply to LegalZoom or RocketLawyer, but I wanted to clarify that.

Good luck with everything!

AVC1 is just H264[0]. FFmpeg says stream 0 is "Video: h264"

If I am reading the article correctly, the complaints all came after JT610? It would have been more damning if they had been complaining about this for the last couple years.
And the 8th graders in downtown schools are reading at a 3rd grade level (according to teachers there). Due to our wonderful federal and state education system, schools are forced to pass kids or they get less funds. So not only can they barely read and write, they're forced on to more difficult subjects which it will be impossible for them to take on.

Besides the opioid epidemic, this is the next big epidemic: an entire generation of kids who are being doomed by horrible policies passed by politicians who will never be held accountable for them.

I was replying to a comment specifically about research universities, which are indeed a small subset of all institutes of higher learning.

Research, including scientific research, does happen at institutions that aren't "research universities."
Airplanes are becoming far too complex to fly. Pilots are no longer needed, but rather computer scientists from MIT. I see it all the time in many products. Always seeking to go one unnecessary step further, when often old and simpler is far better. Split second decisions are needed, and the complexity creates danger. All of this for great cost yet very little gain. I don’t know about you, but I don’t want Albert Einstein to be my pilot. I want great flying professionals that are allowed to easily and quickly take control of a plane!

I strongly disagree. The nation's nuclear project is absolutely necessary for defense. Fortunately, Perry has learned the importance of the Department of Energy (aka: Department of Nuclear) and is appropriately funding it and doing his best to run the place. A big problem is that Perry didn't even know what Department of Energy did before he got the job. Perry is the first non-nuclear engineer to run the Department of Energy, he was a horrible pick, but at least he understands his department now.

I would have much preferred to have an actually qualified person running our nation's nuclear program, but... I'll take a cautiously-optimistic non-expert over a lot of the other secretaries who are aiming at destroying their specific departments.

The FCC is a good example of active destruction from within. All those Robocalls you've been getting the past year or two are precisely because of the new FCC Head refusing to do his job to punish robocallers. The fact of the matter is that only the FCC has the authority and power to effectively police Robocalls, and ignoring those responsibilities leads to the annoying situation we have today.
Well, fellow American, how about this, then: You're in prison, want to get out, and are granted an appeal. If you lose the appeal, that's the end. You stay in prison. But you win the appeal. Not guilty. But instead of allowing you to leave, the prosecutors demand you be tried again. After all, if you really are not guilty, what possible objection could you have to another trial?

Or let's say that I'm President. You are the challenger in the election. If I win, I go on being President. But you win, and I and my friends at powerful agencies and media outlets all agree that, since we are entitled to rule, the election is not valid and has to be overturned by some means. But I'm willing to compromise. Surely even you could have no complaint about just repeating the election. Either that, or we just void the election entirely, which would probably be best for all, I'm sure you'd agree.

Thank you for this feedback. This is really valuable. I believe the confusion started on the first question. After you choose it, you become a contractor in the agreement, not a customer, so many provisions are against you. We will probably delete this option to avoid confusion. We will also improve wordings and use of symbols to improve trustworthiness.

Regarding the editing, you should have received a final Word document with 100% ability to edit it. Preview is just to get a general sense of the document.

Regarding the discount on payments, thank you for the suggestion. We will add this option and we have specifically created a "suggestion" button on the website.

Thank you again for your feedback. It is very valuable! We will fix everything and let you know (if you want to).

My hunch is the CPU is the differentiator. Chrome eats RAM, FF eats CPU. Maybe someone with more knowledge here has a more educated guess.

I did recently update my BIOS and it improved FF performance dramatically, reinforcing my belief it's the CPU. Pre and post spectre fix or whatever.

Grounding the aircraft as a precaution would have been a wise decision especially considering that lives once lost cannot be recovered. Monetary losses, however, can be.
YouTube works great with Firefox though.
Guys congrats, will absolutely use this. As you grow, it would be great if you could also handle the more complicated aspects of priced-equity rounds. In the meanwhile, I think a lot of people would benefit from the advisory agreement and the vesting agreement for employees.
> In the Iran case, there are similar sanctions from the EU

Nope, since the 2015 nuclear agreement with Iran, Europe has no sanction against firms that commerce with Iran. However, since USA pulled out of the agreement, USA threatens european firms that commerce with Iran. The agreement is however still in place.

CNN's are only mentioned because of potential processing considerations as computationally, they are easier to deal with. But given the nature of speech recognition, which is so highly temporally correlated, it shouldn't be a surprise that a recurrent neural network would be used. This is pretty much exactly the purpose the RNN type of model architecture was designed for.

Also if you haven't looked into the properties of how exactly a RNN Transducer functions, I highly recommend doing so. They help resolve a great deal of problems that traditional RNNs and CNNs are unable to deal with.
On the other hand, when you can transcribe locally, uploading whole days worth of eavesropping would not cause a noticeable spike in traffic. I'd consider it more a lateral change than an improvement.

Then, any automated system which sees the link cannot accidentally cause the file to be "downloaded" which would cause the link to be invalidated. They can see the link itself, but they don't have the password, therefore they can't download the content to scan it.

Without veering into politics, I’ll just say that as a casual observer this feels different from the norm as far as the safety-first aviation industry is concerned.

Usually HN has quite a few people more intimately involved with aviation — question to them: does this feel odd to you as well, or is this a fairly typical response to a problem of this nature?

Generally, there's an incumbent, and a likely winner. If you have enough popular support to win a fair election, you can probably figure out how to mobilize a few volunteers to oversee ballot counting.
That analogy requires a strong reason to see being kept in the EU as a punishment rather than being ejected from it as one, because if you reverse the scenario between guilty and not guilty, well, a new trial based on signficant new information is actually an accepted thing in the US.
Thank you for the feedback. Advisory and vesting agreements are already on our road map. We hope to launch them after Demo Day.

A lot of it is arguing semantics, I know, but still pretty fascinating. Even though it makes sense when I think about it, the fact that Mercury is on average the closest planet to every planet in the solar system blows my mind.
Canada does not subsidize dairy farmers; it regulates and manages their production. It's a subtle but important distinction.
Actually the problem with climate change deniers is that they doubt the source and cannot reason about the issue themselves. This is actually one example of needing a system to help people reason. Just telling someone something will not convince someone unless they trust the authority of the person telling them OR if they can reach the conclusion themselves. Thanks for this comment, it actually made me further realize how important such systems are.
I feel like we are going to look back at Uber in like 10 years as the 'golden age' of startups. Where money was no object and it only mattered how much you 'produced' on your way to an IPO.

In 20 years we will have the Wolf of SV movie about Uber.
As you know PLC is just s programmable logic controller. All computers are, by definition, that.
Perhaps you're referring to the 'gated logic' programs that exist? To me they're just like the old punch cards, but with the purpose of controlling a contactor -- they're very simple systems indeed.

However, it's also not hard to incorporate hardware watchdogs into industrial systems that check for proper running software (& vice versa). I've done them.

It might be time (if it doesn't already exist) for the industrial networks to upgrade to newer security practices though... (eg code signing, encrypted networks, changes to fs, ...)

Having read Damore’s memo, I would not describe it that way. He was spouting off outside of his area of competency or job and in particular never established a link between the few cited papers and his claims. Linking a study about toy preferences in monkeys (no matter its merits) is a long way from supporting the claim that Google’s management stats were just reflecting a shortage of qualified people.
That seems orthogonal to this anyway. If they wanted to tap into what you're saying, why not just upload the text? It's both smaller and more useful. And more general because you get the data regardless of how the user chose to input it.

And if you're uploading the text, then it doesn't really matter where the speech to text translation happens.

Because the ERG ("European Research Group", including MPs like Jacob Rees-Mogg) pushed a UK ammendment to include the March 29th leaving date into UK law, MPs will need to revoke that to make it possible to retract Article 50. It is unclear whether the current pariament breakdown would support removing that ammendment.

The key question is how blocking a no deal Brexit will be implemented, given the rejection of the withdrawal agreement (not a deal!) and the reluctance of the EU to extend the Article 50 period without something different such as a general election or people's vote. There is also the upcoming European Parliament elections in 3 months which -- if the UK stays past that point -- the UK would need to participate in if Article 50 was extended past that point.

A general election is also problematic as it will likely result in another hung parlaiment or slim majority and we will be back where we are. This is especially the case given that Scotland is overwhelmingly SNP, and may gain seats over the Conservatives/Tories.

While a people's vote may be a potential way out of the deadlock, the government (and maybe the majority of parliament) are against it. Even if there is a majority for it, there isn't a majority for what to ask in the new vote. There are MPs that don't want remain on the vote, and there are others that don't want no deal on the vote.
In the wake of the previous Boeing 737 Max crash:

"Boeing Co. withheld information about potential hazards associated with a new flight-control feature suspected of playing a role in last month's fatal Lion Air jet crash, according to safety experts involved in the investigation, as well as midlevel FAA officials and airline pilots."

"Safety experts involved in and tracking the investigation said that at U.S. carriers, neither airline managers nor pilots had been told such a system had been added to the latest 737 variant — and therefore aviators typically weren't prepared to cope with the possible risks."

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18438607
Reading through those articles it indeed seems like a political nightmare. When you have both volunteers and paid members, politics will be inevitable, as those getting paid will do everything in their power to keep it, while those not getting paid will do everything they can to gain it. Just like in a startup, money can kill relations. Money is really the root of all evil. In any organization there will be politics, so as a leader you have to learn how to deal with it. You do not necessary need any power, as you do not lead by giving orders, you lead by showing. I think solving the inequity problem would be a top priority, maybe dedicate 50% of your own FAANG salary and give it to people that do the same job as you do, but doesn't get paid. It's probably a really bad idea, but it's just an example, the purpose is that others will follow.
Long story short: he's not in prison.
That's impossible, 737 MAX hasn't been in service for 2 years yet.

You're absolutely right about that. Also with regards to increased frequency of tests; finding the inflection point between where the risk and adverse effects of false-positive tests out-weight the benefits of early detection. Point taken.

It's great to hear that Medium deemed some publications worth dumping money into - more funded media outlets is awesome! This isn't a zero sum game. But any publication with one paying customer is taking on TREMENDOUS risk. The reality is the community and not the wealthy should determine what media exists. Medium killed the ability for publications to have their readers pay to subscribe to them https://www.cjr.org/business_of_news/medium-publication.php and killed the ability for publications to run sponsorship (while continuing to run pop up ads on content they didn't own). It was an interesting tradeoff but I am done with it.
I just read that there were pilots complaining to federal authorities for months about safety issues with this aircraft. https://www.dallasnews.com/business/airlines/2019/03/12/boei...

Besides that, two of them crashed in six months.

If the idea is "safety first", does it not seem prudent to ground them until the matter can be fully investigated? And by that I mean, a thorough explanation of what happened in these two incidents, and why it's okay to fly these aircraft in light of those incidents.

If you're optimizing for something else, I could see how you might not move to ground them. But the FAA rightly makes a big deal about safety.
Yeah, I don't think I've ever seen an 'airgapped' network that was actually airgapped.

About half the time no discernable effort was ever put into airgapping and it was only ever a paper goal. Most of the rest of the time it started out configured reasonably but either drifted out as business needs changed ("Chloe get me a port!" is a pretty common joke) or someone just didn't realize it was special and configured it badly.

The rest of the time you just stack up edge cases: bad management credentials, forgotten management interfaces, canned router or switch exploits, broken q-in-q implementations, etc. The list is endless. And all that's without getting someone authorized to carry you onto the airgapped network, which happens facepalmingly often.
Trustworthiness is (or should be) a matter of the rate at which they're correct.
