I'm a QlikSense developer, so I've always wondered about the other technologies in the BI and Data Engineering Realm. It's hard to do what you can do with programming languages in trying them out, because they are all so expensive.
> They're inside the car bodies, encased in heavy plastic, and usually made of LEDs so there's no single bulb to hit even if you could get through the plastic.

Cops intentionally breaking tail lights is 99.999% something from Hollywood. I try and keep up to date on the various stupid abuses of power that happen at police departments throughout the country and I've never even heard of it happening. I thinks the notion of cops breaking tail lights probably predates the war on drugs (which gave them other ways to manufacture probably cause)

Nevertheless, tail lights weren't commonly LEDs until fairly recently and the styling that results in deeper housings also wasn't default until the mid 2000s. You can definitively break a tail light with the back end of a flashlight relatively easily though.

I'm sure you can imagine some jerk cop breaking a tail light on some 90s car because the person gave him lip and he can't find anything else to write a ticket for but jerk cops do all sorts of things and it's not really appropriate to use edge cases to reason about normal cases.
Show HN: Monitor Your AWS Cost in Slack
I am not making an argument against wind.
I am making an argument against claims that amount of kWh generated by intermittent sources has the same economical value as the same amount generated by sources we can pilot to match the demand.
"the majority appear to agree that coal is bad and we should have less of it". The majority also agrees that they don't want their electricity bill to rise.
Coal plants need to be maintained and upgraded to match regulations. That's a cost after construction that you have to pay for even if you're not running the plant
I pay by the hour, if I need to provision more servers AWS doesn't take a hit, I do
It’s not really a great business plan for most bars. A typical non drinker will have maybe 1 fancy drink then be happy with nursing a water for the night. Someone who is drinking alcohol and getting in the mood will often pay for 4-6 drinks. The more you get known for being a place that has good sober alternatives the more you are going to get sober people coming in for that atmosphere. At that point it might be wiser to just base your whole business model around it like these places are doing.
The biggest benefit of being on medium is that I can just write some words and push the button and I get a nice-looking web page I can share with my friends. I don't care about google rank or more eyeballs or whatever. But I'd rather focus on writing better words than worrying about the words -> website process. Give me something that's as easy to work with (log in, type stuff in the in-browser editor, push publish - no renting a server or installing ruby or whatever) and looks as good at the end, and I'll happily use that.
I suppose it's possible but unlikely. I'd be shocked if that were true.
Here's the Washington Post article:
https://wapo.st/2W98fyO

The last time I linked to a WaPo article on Chelsea Manning (the last time she was jailed) a mod changed the link so if you find a more informative article you can always post a link and it might be changed.

I don't actually find this to be vastly different in content than the OP but it does seem to give a little more exposition and a little less in terms of boilerplate statements from the attorneys.

Here are some cherry-picked excerpts:

> Manning has offered multiple reasons for refusing to testify, but fundamentally says she considers the whole grand jury process to be unacceptable.

> [The judge] said he hopes that while incarcerated “Ms. Manning would reflect on the principles she says she’s embracing ... and whether those views are worth the price she’s paying for them.”

> Manning herself told the judge directly: “I would rather starve to death than change my principles in this regard.”
Most bars don’t charge for club soda.
> In first reading legal opinions when I started law school, I was handicapped by subconsciously imagining law to be a knowable engineering discipline, with accepted rules that could be learned and predictably applied.

That seems to be the fatal weakness of every legal discussion on HN: too many people here think this way.
I generally leave my home 1 hour before the flight then leave the landing airport immediately since I don't have checked in baggage. The entire endevour is around 1.5 hours + flight duration.
They're a cloud provider, so cloud offerings. AMD has had some consumer success but remain rare in the date center.
On multithreaded stuff AMD is killing it, they where slightly behind on IPC about 5% but the clocks are typically a bit lower.

I'd expect with both machines patched that clock for clock AMD are slightly ahead.

I've got a 2700X at home and it's a monster and I'd Zen2 is on the conservative end of the leaks/rumours it's going to be a total killer.

Technically, the first part could emulate what can be done with DNS black hole implementations like Pi Hole. For the second part to work you'd almost need to go around the first DNS part and actually load the image (if it comes from their CDN), figure out what size it is, and substitute it. This would still generate part of the traffic EvilCorp would be after as they would register a little tiny bit of info about "you" unless you're also doing a concerted effort to fill in creative garbage there.
Lagunitas has a hopped seltzer that is excellent. Doesn’t taste like beer though.
This is meant to be temporary. If it is truly crucial they will update happily. If it's not they can wait. Submit the patch upstream, if it is accepted you can then deprecate your code and create an alias, if it's not congratulations you get to maintain a fork.

This changes the culture from you clobbering the original package maintainer, to one where you can adapt when necessary but are still a good community member. The "foobar" people can point people to use "suse-foobar" as a solution until everything has been resolved.

It's not the number of bug reports that matter, it's that you can easily and quickly come to a speedy resolution as an end user.
The vehicle's clearly worded warnings can be at odds with the reality of how they market their vehicles. If you don't believe me, read your car's manual some day. They go to the point of pretty much warning you to never drive.

If a warning makes a feature less than advertised, or is impractical in general, the company has still come short of their duty. The problem with Autopilot is that basic human nature will make you less attentive if it's taking that level of control. You can't warn that away.

Suggestion: Release your book as an EPUB rather than a PDF. PDF has the reputation of being view-able "everywhere", but it's not exactly pleasant to read on anything other than a computer screen or a large tablet.

EPUB's, however, can dynamically reflow the text and resize the font to be readable on your phone, your Kindle, your PC, etc. And they're far easier to cleanly convert to other formats (even PDF, if that's your only option) than the reverse direction.
I have no idea. I would guess they have an algorithm that checks every post and makes determinations.

I would have thought a private group would be immune, but apparently not.
> If it became known that ransomware criminals never actually decrypt your data they would lose their "business", so it is in their interest to actually do it.

This opens up one of those weird moral dilemmas akin to asking whether it's moral to hack someone's exposed device to patch a security hole: Would it actually be a net positive to create a ransomware variant that had no decryption key, but acted like it did?
Actually, as a physicist with no rest mass, I'm perfectly capable of performing experiments. I just never seem to find the time...
The YouTube trailer doesn’t show any real footage of the gameplay, sadly.
People are running models of planet formation. And some people run their model often enough to do statistics over the outcomes.

The problem is that modelling the formation all the way from micron sized dust to 100000 km diameter planets is hard (14 order of magnitude in length scale). No single model does all steps well, most of them do not include some steps at all.

Note: this does not mean that the models are useless. There is some things we can already learn and smart people work on improving the models. But as usual, HN overestimates the power of numerical models. Modeling real life is a bit harder than launching a ruby web app. And takes MUCH more compute power.

> Secret proceedings,

Grand jury proceedings are kept secret, but they aren’t limited to state secrets cases. They are actually a Constitutional right for everybody charged with a serious crime in the US.

> torturing witnesses

I assume you mean that holding Manning in jail qualifies as “torture,” which I consider a strange definition of “torture.” Are all federal prisoners being tortured? If so, does that violate the Constitutional protection against cruel and unusual punishment? Should they all be freed?

They certainly are pressuring this witness, but it’s actually not out of the ordinary for the US criminal justice system. The prosecutors handling Operation Varsity Blues have the same tools, and will use them this way if they think it will help. Valerie Plame’s time in jail was for contempt for refusing to appear in front of a grand jury because by doing so she wouldn’t be able to keep a journalism source secret.
> why everyone has these roller carry-ons[?]

Because backpacks duffel-bags easily get heavy and uncomfortable.

They're especially miserable in hot weather. Also all the straps, do-daads, pockets and zippers get annoying.

The optimal thing is a hardshell roll-on with 4 wheels that stands up by itself. A smallish one is very good for overhead, but if you have to check it, no problem.
Less clear in the marketing materials, but when you actually use the car it's very clear.

I think there's a case to be made for making ransom payments illegal. Allowing such payments only encourages the development of newer, more sophisticated ransomware.
In which jurisdiction? i.e. That's a hell of a generalisation.
Fascinating that they say so bluntly that the end goal isn't a machine that performs well at a task, but warm fuzzies for the people that have to specify the tasks for that machine: "Turning aerial dogfighting over to AI is less about dogfighting, which should be rare in the future, and more about giving pilots the confidence that AI and automation can handle a high-end fight."

Reading further, it's also interesting that they're looking not into how legible the end results are, but how legible the system's behavior during training is.
Honestly, I will have to try this. I am a pretty passive person so my head usually goes to "just nod and say ok a bunch" during confrontations like this but the luggage experience had me pretty upset. Thank you for the advice!
People don't dance when they're sober, period. Even in cultures where alcohol isn't traditonally consumed, either another substance is used or very energic and rhythmic music is performed in order to induce trance-like states. People don't magically start moving when there isn't anything to entice them (drinks, or money for professional dancers).
If I remember correctly, Einstein struggled with Tensors and enlisted his friend Mercel Grossmann to help him develop the Tensor Calculus he needed for the General Theory of Relativity. Einstein was no mathematical slouch, obviously, but it’s nice to know that even the most brilliant sometimes need some help from their friends.

>It's not exactly rocket science. YouTube is convenient, but what it is doing from a technical standpoint isn't that difficult to do on your own server.

You've left several comments in this thread talking down to people as if they're ignorant about how to write an HTML5 <video> tag on their own web server.

I wasn't the one that downvoted your comment but for some reason, a lot of technical folks like you misunderstand Youtube and how it enables video uploaders. (A previous commenter misunderstands Youtube the same way and my previous reply to it.[0])

There is no self-hosting web server stack to serve videos that charges $0 to the content creator whether it gets zero or 1 billion views. Therefore, repeatedly recommending "self-host your videos" -- completely misses the point.

Consider a corporate giant like Microsoft. Several years ago, they used to self-host their tech videos on channel9.msdn.com.[1] Now they're hosted on Youtube.[2] Obviously, MS is not so technically inept that they don't know how to stream their own videos! They also have billions in cash to prevent "server bandwidth exceeded" errors so cost isn't the issue.

Stop and think about why Microsoft switched to Youtube instead of using their own MS Azure infrastructure. As for the other metaphor of "sharecropper" for Youtube that seems popular... is Microsoft a "sharecropper"? Why or why not?

I think many miss the point of drinking alcohol. While I perfectly respect those who avoid it, the primary benefit of alcohol is to provide the proverbial "social lubrication."

It "loosens" people up and tends to make people more friendly and open to socialize with (approachable), even some of the most defensive people I've met. Many in society today are fairly antisocial or fall into small groups at social events that can be more difficult to start a discussion and mingle with. They're frequently more judgemental at that point and may avoid people based on ill conceived prejudices, limiting otherwise worthwhile relationships they may form.

Alcohol helps break that barrier and lets people talk who would otherwise rarely, if ever, talk. Sometimes this is fruitful, sometimes it's not. It gives people a social "out" when it's not fruitful or their social groups judge/criticize them for talking to someone different/odd, "well I was tipsy."

If viewed as an optimization problem, alcohol effectively provides a stochastic gradient descent, mutation, momentum/inertia, annealing, or whichever minima escape mechanism you prefer to explore social spaces beyond what you've already found.
“Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.” - Albert Einstein
I do something similar (ripping to FLAC, putting on a tiny fileserver, except mine is an Antec ISK-300 with a single 6TB disk and external backups), and then use Logitech Media Server to serve it out to other machines.

"Squeezer" is excellent as a remote control for this, and I just have a stream URL I point players at to all play the same thing, or they can use DLNA and slurp music from the archive.

Works nicely, but does require more setup than most users will want to do when they can just plug in a "smart" speaker and stream from Spotify or whatever.
So what ? If your machine is exclusively used to build code, or to render 3D animations, then this patch is not mandatory.
This is precisely why I will never ever let a car auto pilot me and my family. If I am going to die, it better be because of my negligence and not because someone "oopsies" code.
Totally! If we could just store that 'wasted' energy and release it at peak times we could go a long way to improving the overall energy mix - but I know that is no easy or cheap fix!
Okay, maybe not energy intensive is the wrong way to put it, but... what about organically capturing carbon? Trees or algae farms? It's energy intensive, but it's solar energy, not generated electricity.
Such stats are never simple. But when important data is withheld they definitely become irrelevant. They become more of a PR tool.

Statistically speaking 100% of people are able to pilot a plane with their eyes closed and not crash it... as long as a qualified pilot is ready to take over at any time. Such a stat is only valuable if you want to show the standby pilot is useful.

What would you base your assumption that AP saved even 1 life on when that data is not provided? All we know is that it crashed a number of times exclusively when it wasn’t supervised as required. The pragmatic conclusion is that it works because it’s supervised. I imagine Tesla would release more data if it supported the performance of the AP.

What do you mean? If I'm working on your project, I'm billing you for my time.
Oh screw off.

You can't make a good first impression on a speed camera.

Overwhelming majority of fishing stops result in a warning because the cop realizes after getting a closer look at the vehicle and its occupants and realizing that there's nothing sketchy going on. And I say this as someone who's been subject to a heck of a lot of fishing stops because I tend to check the boxes that make me worth stopping (one time I had almost an entire PD stop me over the course of a month as they rotated through the shift and location that put them where I was driving at the time I was there).

I'd much rather have laws that go fishing than robots that enforce the law to the letter 100% of the time.
Nanopass Framework – Clean Compiler Creation Language
Orbits are stable and not sensitive to the objects mass, as long as the mass is much less than parent star. There is even experimental prove of that. An upper stage from the Apollo programm ended up in an orbit around that sun that was basically identical to the Earth orbit.
This depends on how the proxy is configured to behave. One common pattern is to have a protocol terminating proxy talk to the client. Other component(s) sit behind this and they could be other parts of the system, tiers of caches or tiers of CDNs.

Even if the proxy does cache locally to memory or disk. Without infinite space, there will be some chance of cache eviction and a need to fetch from the upstream again.

Our scenarios are different ends of a broad spectrum, and there's a lot in between. Which is why getting prioritisation right is a hard nut to crack.

Europe is mandating this (combined with limiting) for new cars soon. It will be possible to override 'temporarily'.
Open Source Intel Graphics Compiler for OpenCL
>Is there an End User License Agreement that users agree to before using these chips?

I certainly didn't see one when booting up a new Intel computer.
The oldest software still used is operated by banks, government agencies, schools and businesses. A large number of them are black boxes, and very expensive, so nobody will replace them. Their hardware just gets maintained ad infinitum, and the software doesn't care how old it is, so it just keeps running.

So basically, the age of software is limited by its hardware. (It's similar with animals: if nobody bumps them off and the hardware keeps ticking, the software probably will too... fish and mammals can live for hundreds of years)
Even if the incidence of car crashes was 1/10th of the current figure?
A number of cops probabbly still still arrest you but last time I rented rental cars come with a ton of paperwork with my name, the car identity, dates times, and etc all over it.

You'd think it would be a pretty easy thing to say, yo look at all this. It would seem unlikely an actual car thief would have a bunch of paperwork / make a bunch of paperwork with their own information on it.

Granted most cops aren't super detectives but even the non curious types know enough to ask the right questions even if only to help the suspected criminal incriminate them-self, going down the path of what all that paperwork even is would seem to work there too.
… or are running that JavaScript in Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, or Internet Explorer which all shipped updates last year.

Being pedantic about this is not helping anyone actually be more secure: the odds are orders of magnitude greater that someone will be compromised by a different security problem than by the diminishing returns trying this attack against a current browser, and that the attacker will directly obtain the data they want without needing a side-channel attack.
There are all sorts of synergies here that might not be obvious:

1. Slingshot interconnect enables HPE to offer their own high performance fabric. This is important as NVIDIA scoops up Mellanox.
2. Cray is clearly ahead of HPE in exascale systems. Cray's tech along with HPE's supply chain should make the exascale even more 'real'.
3. Cray picked up Xyratex a year or two ago in a deal to expand their Lustre solution capabilities. HPE has been growing their Lustre capabilities as well, but this launches both companies into a position to better compete with DDN in the future.
4. Cray + SGI reunites the IP from the original 'Cray' supercomputing company.

Moonshot turned into HPE's Edgeline product. You got me on memristor, but those were sins of previous company leadership. Antonio has proven to be a fairly realistic leader so far, IMO.
It's better to keep in mind that promises of unlimited traffic usually countered by fine text provisions, which your hosting company will invoke once your website starts to be a nuisance for them. Various companies have different levels of tolerance, and actually it's a sort of problem with these "unlimited" offers that you won't know when it hits.
