This is pretty cool. I don't know the nature of the calculation performed, but if it's an integral that took say 1000 clock cycles on a single core 1Ghz digital computer, and if it's true that the meta-material will scale down 1 picosecond for the same calculation, then this is around a 1,000,000x speedup. Further, if you can create a set of say 100 integrators and differentiators into which you can decompose all your complicated math operations, then you have yourself a very very fast general purpose higher order math module.

Why You May Be Avoiding Communication with Your Employees
Our office just converted to an open space design with fancy desks that elevate for standing or drop to sit.
Although it's a small office, one of my coworkers already left (and refuses to communicate with any of the management except through his lawyer) and three others are in conversations with labour lawyers on constructive dismissal cases, while the remaining three are shopping their resumes and attending interviews. That means we could lose seven out of ten staff. It's definitely not all due to the open office space, but it was pretty much the last straw for most of them.

I was one of the few who got to keep their office during the demolition, I think mostly because it was written in my contract when I accepted this job. So although I, personally, don't think they look very efficient, I can relate that the staff in my company dispise the lack of privacy and general noise that results from working in an open office space.
I usually just drop into the browser dev tools and delete those elements. But I also try to avoid medium, blocking its domains by default and only unblocking if I really, really want to read something (which is becoming increasingly uncommon, since I don't like how medium basically say "we need to share your data with third parties"). I blocked medium in my hosts file for a while, but that turned out to be a little bit too inconvenient. I usually hope that the HN comments can give me enough information so I can stay away from medium...

Typing by hand is an underrated option. Inevitably there's gonna be transcription errors, so you'll have to correct them and in the process understand the code. Also, just take a moment at the end of a chapter to review the code and make sure it follows. I thought that it wasn't doing much either until I realized I actually understood what was going on!

After that, you could maybe port it to a different language. But doing that the first time around would be a little hard. Especially if you wanted to keep the code idiomatic to the language.

There can be. Fraudsters can try to get around the $10k reporting threshold by sending smaller amounts across multiple transactions. This is known as "structuring", and if detected, requires the filing of a FINCEN Suspicious Activity Report.

You will never be told if any of your transactions are being reviewed. This is done so as to not tip off potential fraudsters.

I agree with his point, account numbers aren’t numbers. Say your account number is 000345. That’s not a number.
A neural network of neural networks is... a bigger neural network. Having two or three layers of nonlinearities per "neuron" doesn't do anything qualitatively different.

There are probably lots of huge differences between NNs and brains but this article is really making the case that the brain can be modeled as a big NN, just with a few thousand times more activations than neural cells.

I don't mind a proper em dash (w/ width equal to full height of the font), which is what the original headline had. Somehow it got changed to an en dash in the HN headline, which has only half that width.

Unfortunately, there are annoying inconsistencies in how different software selects an 'appropriate' dash, so I agree: better to avoid them.

I disagree. Fundamentally, every company makes product decisions primarily for financial reasons.

Apple has been focused on finances for most of its existence as an entity. If it appears they have become more focused on financial success recently, I would argue that's more likely due to market saturation than it is to any categorical change in their priorities.

EDIT: Changed and removed some wording to make the tone less condescending. Sorry about that.

To a point, you are correct, but most people don't "not care". Most people are unaware and only assume a knowledgeable, experienced editor vets and edits the news. Today, most news has a marketing angle applied to it to attract more viewers and visitors.

I tend to read a section carefully, then close the book and try to reproduce the example without looking at it again. Of course I'll allow myself to use online reference material, as I do in real-life programming. If I really get stuck I'll take a look at the book, but just enough to unstuck me. The goal is obviously not to reproduce the example line by line but to reproduce what it does with the same global structure.
Its an interesting question; if you're an aggressor and see a 'low tech' civilisation recklessly build an obvious Dyson sphere what probability do you put that its a honeypot from a real threat... and so on.

I personally find the dark forest interesting not because I think it is likely but because even giving it a very small probability of being true would be enough for near immortal high tech civilisations to move very cautiously.

I'd 2nd this. Just go get some cheap PHP hosting with Hostgator or something similar.

Maybe the police only wanted to make an example of those three people and discourage the rest of posting the URL.

- Quería diferenciar las notas que pertenecen a la escala seleccionada de las que no pertenecen (como sucede en un piano con las teclas blancas y negras), pero sin utilizar tanto contraste como para hacer pensar que las notas fuera de la escala no se pueden utilizar o algo por estilo. Por eso más o menos utilicé la misma paleta, variando el grado de opacidad. Simultáneamente, las notas se van haciendo un poco más oscuras según se vuelven más graves. Quizá haga alguna prueba con dos colores, a ver qué tal queda.

- Suena bien lo de tener un atajo para cambiar el preset de sintetizador, aunque quisiera tener el interfaz lo más limpio posible porque en pantallas de móvil no sobra el espacio... Si se me ocurre cómo integrarlo lo añadiré.

Ex-Yandex investor’s criminal case moved from UK to a court in 6600 miles east
T-mobile asked me for my PIN over the phone
I wanted to change plans and have it activated the same day, which required that I call them directly. They said that they could only "open" my account with the PIN and I had to verbally tell them my PIN. I thought this was a security issue and told them that. Their response was, "sorry, no can do." Since I didn't know what my PIN number was, they issued me a temp number, and required that I give them a new PIN number over the phone, right after they issued me a temp PIN. Isn't this considered a bad practice? I'm not a security expert, but have always been told not to give out passwords/PIN over the phone to anyone.
+1 for this advice. Identifying the issues is just one part of the work, finding a correct and usable solution might be lots of work if you don't have much experience with accessibility.

I also do full-time accessibility work. Don't need extra work right now, but feel free to get in touch to discuss work in the (near) future.

Personal Opinion: Django is a nightmare to work with. It's too opinionated and a pain in the ass. However, I love Flask. I wouldn't be where I am today had I not found Flask in 2012/2013.

If you're looking for web technologies in Clojure, you'll find quite a few good ones. However, I say web technologies instead of frameworks because generally, the Clojure community prefers to compose libraries to suit their needs and not leverage an opinionated framework. However, if you'd like someone to do that composing for you, the Luminus web template is fantastic.

I agree that stick-shift on its own is not a safety improvement; like you, when I get in a manual car, I shift instinctively. A neatly conditioned response. I switch back and forth between my two cars, one auto, one manual, without messing up shifts in either. The only thing that gets me is my clutch control is a bit flaky for a few days after switching (I run the cars in 6-month intervals).

What I find does help is that my Supra does not have automatic-anything, apart from cruise control. Everything is manual. If I want the car to do something, I have to explicitly set a control to do it. In the process, I'm generally constantly aware of the state of the car, from the lights to the heater. Granted, I did fit parking sensors, but I conditioned myself to never rely on them 100% - shifting into Reverse, I always turn around and watch out the rear window. Even factory-fitted sensors may miss bollards or posts. I have no reversing camera, so I'm acutely aware of the width and length of the Supra when manoeuvring in tight spaces.

I am in agreement that the various electronic driver aids that are sold as safety options are dangerous in the long-term, however. Many cars have automatic braking systems. Not only is this potentially unreliable under certain circumstances, but overconfidence in the system can lead to exactly what the author suggests - the driver's brain shunts authority for panic-braking to the automatic system, without the driver being consciously aware of it, and looks to the next thing on the priority list. Human brains are phenomenally good at outsourcing things. The more we automate, the more we wind up withdrawing attention. Overconfidence in Tesla's Autopilot system is at least partly responsible for the deaths so far (now, I'm not blaming the drivers; they did what anyone could reasonably expect, they shunted responsibility for the car to the computer. No matter how much Tesla disclaim that the driver must supervise the technology and be ready to take control at all times, this isn't going to happen in practise because the shift in priorities happens subconsciously).

There's no clear solution here; the driver aids are set up with the best of intentions, but they may wind up causing more harm than good even to an experienced driver.

And I do choose shift points for economy from time to time :) Sure, sports-shifting is great fun, especially with a performance car, but the only way I can afford to run the car at all is to save fuel where I can, and having full manual control allows me to do that. Roughly 90% of my driving involves shifting before 3k RPM. It's only when joining highways that I let the Supra off the leash :D
Procrastination Has Nothing to Do with Self-Control
You write "You can't leave" like its a bad thing for tenants, but leaving isn't a choice, it's being priced out of your place or not. I'd love to see a citation for how many widowers are taking up supply of three bedroom apartments.

Rent control stabilizes rents in places where they can explode and collapse faster than a tenants salary can change to compensate, that's all. All the other problems you bring up are from poor implementation, not that it's a bad idea for everyone.

Lyft IPO from a Value Investor's Perspective
I'd like to shed some light on this(and other Japanese tendencies) from a different perspective.

Human societies can be seen as humonculus to the humans that make them up in many ways.

One such way is that societies tend to reflect the broad strokes of Freudian tendencies that the citizens tend towards. The culture reflects the society. Not hard to understand.

In the case of Japan, it is clear after consideration that the society is incredibly super-ego driven. (That correlates to "Parent" driven for you Transactional Analysis folks).

So how that translates to the society is that parental, guiding, cohesive, social, aesthetic, moral rules are favored over Id or Egotistical rules.

In contrast, The United States is a primarily ego-tistical country(Adult-dominant, in Transactional Analysis terms). That's just as fine as a Superego-leaning society, but it is DIFFERENT.

An ego-tistical society will focus on the power of the individual, and will honor rationality and purpose foremost. Group cohesion and like-mindedness will fall to the wayside unless picked up by the superego driven parts of the culture.

A problem arises when any one of the three parts (id, ego, superego) of a culture become too imbalanced in a specific direction. In this case, the parental superego is overriding the will of the individual. The society is asking too hard what they "SHOULD" be like rather than "WHY" they should be like it. "Should" is the heuristic function for superego decisions. "Why" for ego decisions. *

Notice that when a child starts figuring out that they're an individual with choice they start asking "why?" quite often. Sometimes ad nauseum. Why why why why why. The egotistical little buggers. Uncle Sam would be proud.

But that's not a problem for Japan. They have the problem of the child that learned just because they can do something, doesn't mean they should. It's a valuable lesson clearly, but not if you forget why you're doing all of this in the first place.

We create society to empower the individual, and we create the individual to empower society. Lean too hard in either direction and the cycle breaks down, eventually disempowering both the individual and society.

I'm not claiming that either the USA or Japan are leaning "too hard" in either direction, but they are leaning. Lots of apparent insanity has been cropping up in Japanese news lately. The freudian psychoanalyst might try to deduce the imbalanced parts of the patient's psyche that have given rise to such "insanities".

*If you're interested in finding an adjective for a primarily id-driven society like Brazil, you may consider how you would "LIKE" to be.

I guess that makes most sense that they are hosted on their own servers and not cloud. I'd also bet it's mostly a database thing. Better to not let users write anything new than to lose their data which I'm sure would cause more hassle.

Hi!

The original idea was to have short messages that disappear after being read so that people only send you relevant details.

I want to add more features and more way to communicate in the future.

The fact that it doesn't tell you when someone is typing and you don't get notified when someone unsends a message reduced a lot of anxiety.

Why would they only be interested in 600 MACs as oppose to the numerous others? This is casting a rather large net. Wouldn’t this imply the attacker had knowledge before this hardware was shipped? (why only 600 MAC!?)
It’s probably easy to frame this as closed source versus open source, but honestly this can happen to anyone and I think we have numerous examples of Linux distributions also having their core servers compromised leading to similar risks in distributing malicious software.

That said I’d rather be running an operating system with reproducible builds based on open source software. I suspect problems like this would have been more quickly discovered, before hundreds and thousands of users were affected.
