I didn't know what Superfund was so I googled it:

> Superfund sites are polluted locations in the United States requiring a long-term response to clean up hazardous material contaminations. They were designated under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act (CERCLA) of 1980. CERCLA authorized the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to create a list of such locations, which are placed on the National Priorities List (NPL).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Superfund_sites

> Superfund is a United States federal government program designed to fund the cleanup of sites contaminated with hazardous substances and pollutants. Sites managed under this program are referred to as "Superfund" sites. It was established as the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation, and Liability Act of 1980 (CERCLA).[1] It authorizes federal natural resource agencies, primarily the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), states and Native American tribes to recover natural resource damages caused by hazardous substances, though most states have and most often use their own versions of CERCLA. CERCLA created the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). The EPA may identify parties responsible for hazardous substances releases to the environment (polluters) and either compel them to clean up the sites, or it may undertake the cleanup on its own using the Superfund (a trust fund) and costs recovered from polluters by referring to the U.S. Department of Justice.

Hey folks,

For the last 6 months, I've been working on a free tool that will be useful for the Product Marketing portion of this amazing community.

This is a collection of techniques that cut down SaaS churn, neatly prioritized and organized by stages of a customer lifecycle (AARRR funnel).

Each of the strategies has all the implementation details including examples, best-practices, common mistakes, research evidence, and additional reading materials.

Could this become a source of growth experiment ideas for you?

Here’s the collection, no sign-up required:

Machine learning in Prolog... Could you suggest a starting point?
I wonder what the motivation for that would have been. There seem to be many users of Ghost who are asking for this functionality and I don't think it's a big deal for the Ghost team to implement that. I think it is not a good idea to rely on a third party for commenting especially if you have a thriving blog. They could ban you or just shut down services(Google Plus comments), some insert their own ads(Disqus) and so on.
Thanks for the reply! Very interesting suggestions, I am going to try them.

I believe there is something to do with the way I use my thumb. I will try to change which thumb I use to hit space bar. Will require some getting used to, though...

> She questioned me about the reason I am going into those arguments with others especially the ones I don't know and I'll never ever meet

I think the feelings parts of our brains don't know that the Internet exist and that the strangers on the Internet are so far away and that we'll never meet them.

The feelings parts of our brains think they're here nearby, in the same group of hunter-gatherers as us, and that their opinions will affect our day-to-day life.

I think it's just normal to start talking (maybe arguing) with strangers on the internet, and it's normal that it feels like a good idea ... And that one needs to stop and think and use the more modern parts of the brain, to realize that it can instead be a waste of one's limited time

This could be a problem

Usually the lowest TTL on the wire is '1' - the next router then subtracts 1, the value is zero, and the packet is dropped on the same router (and icmp sent back).

If someone didn't put an aditiional if() to check, this could cause many problems, especially with broadcasts. And why would they check, if no device sends out packets like this normally (without someone else not doing an if() check, or if someone sent those packets on purpose).
Show HN: Deepkit: the first desktop app for deep learning experiments
https://deepkit.ai

Hi guys, I'm the founder of Deepkit. An app that helps you visualize, debug, track, and run ML/DL experiments, directly on your workstation or on your own servers, in your LAN or in the cloud. Deepkit will be free for individual users and available in all app stores. You can use the app alone or use the real-time collaborative features within a team using the Deepkit team server.

We're are looking for alpha users that want to help us building a better, cheaper and more efficient way of doing ML/DL experiments. If you're interested, please register at the website. We currently only support MacOS, but Windows & Linux will follow. Follow us on Twitter @deepkitAI to get notified once we release the public version.
If you got any questions, I'm happy to answer in the comments.
No, not this. They didn't do frontend. They only did backend services.

i'm working in the enterprise integration field for a few years now. most vendors seem to have no idea how to get their integration product in the cloud. most of the time its just their old product as a docker container.

graphical drag and drop languages are everywhere. mulesoft has their anypoint studio, software ag has their flow language. at least for software ag i know you can barely refactor this graphical stuff unless you edit the source xml files by hand (bad practice, i know).

even as an expert those products are hell to develop. i have never felt so unproductive. big, clunky, barely usable ...

> For the same reason you're not entitled to a free (or even discount) paperback if you buy the hardback, or why I can't return the paperback I dropped in the bathtub for new copy.

I think I need something better than that. You are talking about 2 physical items, I don't think anyone would argue just because you buy 1 product off the shelf doesn't mean you are entitled to the rest of the shelf

An audio book requires author, editor, publisher, actor, distributor

A digital book requires the same minus actor

Where as a physical book requires the same + printer, binder, possibly artists, typesetter, shipper

In this case the audiobook and digital book have same distributor, amazon

Say I want to whispersync The Way of Kings. I already own the audiobook but now I have to buy the Kindle version for full price, which is $9.99 (I double checked in a private tab to make sure amazon wasnt giving any discounts)

How am I not paying for the same thing twice? If there is some other entity involved I wouldn't mind paying a small difference for their service to bring it to that medium.

Why is it people get paid twice for contributing nothing to bring it to another medium?

I have dozens of webpages open in my browser window. The tabbed UI means ALL webpages have the same window size. If I were to resize my window for various sites (or even various locations on the same site or page) I'd do nothing else but resize. Just switching back and forth between tabs then often requires resizing the window! I think the idea of "make websites full width, users can resize their window" builds on a few assumptions that were perhaps true on a linux desktop in 1996 but they aren't anymore:

- Users have reasonable window managers for non-maximized windows(they don't, they run windows mostly).

- Websites display text mostly that can flow nicely.

- Web browsers have one window per web page
I have changed my handwriting away from cursive during my mid-teens and I was surprised how easy it actually was. I literally just printed out a bunch of pages from [1], practiced for a few days and it was done.

Now I can't really write cursive even if I want to. My signature, which is in cursive, has morphed to an unintelligible mess over time.

Indeed, although in this case it seems it was not fabricated. According to the Guardian article, the idea came from Geologist Scott Bryan:

Bryan said the raft will be the temporary home for billions of marine organisms. Marine life including barnacles, corals, crabs, snails and worms will tag along as it travels toward Australia and become a "potential mechanism for restocking the Great Barrier Reef".[0]

This was then more widely reported as "Scientists say..."

It appears Bryan is a geologist specializing in volcanology who has expertise in pumice rafts, but not in marine biology[1]. One would have hoped he would know better than to make such statements to the media.

It's pretty! The Basecamp styling is really clear, and it's nice to see the interface on display

There's a few unanswered questions that I hope it's helpful to point out;

* Importers -> If I want to switch, how long will it take me to move from a potential system (Excel, Google Sheets, Salesforce, etc) into Wobaka?

* Integrations -> If I send an email can that come from my Outlook Gmail and be shown? Can I see emails from my colleagues towards a contact if they want to?

* What does a workflow look like? A gif of going from New Contact -> Adding them into an Org I'm talking to -> Sending the first message would do a lot here.

* How do I engage with my colleagues? Can I tag them in tasks, or pass things along to them?

> Interestingly though, Clang doesn't bridge the gap.

That might be due to differences in the code, but it might just as well be due to differences in the flags that rustc and Clang pass to the backend by default. It's not even clear what optimization level they asked for.
yeah, writing microbenchmarks (coming from java) is an art of its right own. It requires knowledge what can and could be optimized given the context.

Trying to guide compilers with hints is a futile effort and most of the time compilers would be expending best effort to begin with.
I made a video using YouTube's own Audio tracks thing and put a classical piano tuner from its library. It still got a copy right claim and someone makes money every view.

While stating your argument you left this as the last one, as if it is the least significant one. In reality it is the most significant one and you should lead with it, otherwise you run the risk of sounding disingenuous.

I assume you did not adjust the £1200 value for 2019 according to inflation, GBP purchasing power, et cetera. Nine years is quite a long time for price changes. Have you tried getting a quote for a "sporty car" in the current year?

The constant allusion to invariably vague doomsday scenarios that fills articles on the global economy is quite grating. What would really happen if Italy defaulted on its debt and started issuing its own currency? I suspect that the answer is no more and no less than, “Bond holders would lose money.” But so what? What is Germany going to do, invade Italy? Somewhat surprisingly, I can think of few things less politically feasible in 2019 than Germany invading another country. I think that the political impossibility of direct military conflict between developed nations is actually the cause of the hysteria that permeates the media whenever one threatens to default. All that the creditors can do is scream bloody murder at the top of their lungs and pray that the debtors don’t call their bluff.

Honest question: If Apple would integrate an AI-based speech-to-text feature in the next iPhone as an accessibility feature that works for all audio captured by microphone or generated by apps, would that be seen as copyright infringing? Would it have to be disabled for Audible (even at the request of a single publisher), Netflix (by request of a Netflix licensing partner) and other apps? If yes, then the publishers have a point. If not, shouldn't Audible be allowed to add thus a feature to their app if the speech-to-text feature doesn't use the original manuscript but only the audio for Realtime processing?
Chiplets is what gives AMD an absolutely brutal advantage. Their high end chips do not need expensive large dies -- just a few small ones. Yields are much better. And they can bin each chiplet separately. Oh and they don't spend the expensive top notch process on the I/O part of the CPU either. Intel might be hard pressed to catch up to this -- sure the 7nm EUV process in two years and a bit will very likely be a serious jump in IPC but if you are comparing similarly priced server CPUs then even that is very likely to be simply not enough due to this chiplet strategy. For the foreseeable future, inertia alone is the only reason for anyone to buy an Intel server chip.
More of a meta suggestion: I hadn't read for fun in a decade, but once I got a subscription to an audio book service, I've been reading (listening?) constantly. It's not worth it to me to just read, but it's great to have on when doing chores or monotonous things at work.

No; the point here is to pick the worst possible compromise out of compromises that solve the problem effectively.

It's like you're dividing an 8-piece pizza between 3 people. Everyone's minimum desire is 2 pieces, compromise solution would be 2 and 2/3 split, and people keep arguing why they deserve more. However you - the decision maker - decide instead to give everyone 2 pieces and throw the remaining 3 pieces into the bin, because shut up and get back to work.
disclaimer, I own a Tesla model 3.

The whole article and accompanying table is parrot food.

Compared to a Camry the Camry will always win. If I could get lower insurance I would have it already. Maintenance costs for that Camry are highly suspect too, oil changes aren't that frequent nor do they cost that much and most big items are 100k or such. Throw in the service cost for the TM3 are over priced as well. I mean, at most I replace air filters at 25k and wiper blades. I guess tires would make the number that high but it would probably be higher then.

Comparing to an equal price petrol car, yes a Tesla or any EV will save you money over the long run. Compared to something two thirds to half the price, it won't save you money.

Plus, fuel costs should roll in the newest revenue enhancer for states, having surcharges on tag renewals for EVs as a substitute for fuel taxes
I'm very confused, there appear to be several conflicting reports on L3 cache latency for EPYC chips [1] [2]. Is it the the larger random cache writes that are causing the additional latency?

Sure, for a personal site or a portfolio site, they are not even needed. I also use Hugo for one of my sites, which is just a 5 page website. It is great for such stuff. But for a personal blog, I think both of those things(commenting and search) are absolutely essential.

>Rarely have I seen interesting discussion happen in the comments of a personal blog.

I disagree with this and even more so if we are talking about programming blogs. A lot of interesting discussions and rebuttals happen in the comment sections.

Regarding outsourcing search to a dedicated search engine, its a mixed bag. 99% of the users don't even know about the `site:` and `filetype:` stuff. You also have the option of embedding Google site search but the first four results are ads which isn't very ideal. Wordpress search is decent out of the box but if you want something advanced, it has some nice plugins that allow advanced searching with fuzzy matches.
