Well a Nerves image is a Unix Kernel + Erlang/Elixir & BEAM and whatever else you need, so its a completely stripped down image. It uses the Whitelist model so you add what you need instead of removing what you don't need. This is both more secure and more performant since you don't have 100's of apps/services running in the background, you only run what you need.

You can control everything remotely with nerves-hub, push update, debug etc.
Remember you only have to burn the image once, then its all update from here.

You can build a poncho application where everything is side-by-side, lets say you have your app-firmware (you build image from this), then you build separate app-ui, app-logic, app-whatever etc. and simply hard code the path as dependencies in app-firmware and each app has their own configuration.

Everything will be bundled into a single image and protects you from things leaking in from the sides rather than from above.
I'd bet the Crimson Tide is likely even worth a bit more than some low level NFL teams.
>So people who advocated for communism had to somehow find a way to assure people that the communism they were preaching wasn't the same thing as the system down the road that couldn't feed anyone and was riddled with secret police.

This is a very cynical view, and does a disservice to the spirit of intellectual pursuit in normative social theory. The idea that the only reason why they would oppose such examples of communism is out of embarrassment doesn't fit well with their actual criticisms and reference to Marx himself. Thorough examination of Marx's notebooks and ancillary works only began in the 60s in English language literature. Your suggestion makes even less sense when one considers that the modern left critique of capitalism (usually focusing on concepts such as domination and totality) could be (and were) equally applied to the USSR.

This takes a much different form to deviationism. Deviationism is a result of party politics. It isn't a result of theoretical work. For example, many of the criticisms I mentioned in my other comment in this thread have not come from Trotskyists, Maoists, Titoists or any other "-ist"!
His point is not about what we should do, it's about what we should aspire to. He's criticizing a video showing a Vision Of The Future, not the current status.

> shit on the entire idea of the iPad

That's not at all what he's doing. He's saying the iPad was the Vision of the Future in 1968. Now the iPad is here. It's no longer part of the Future, and we should stop talking about it as if it is, because we need to reach beyond it.

> I don't think you should get points for saying "we should do this impossible thing, that would be better."

When the other contenders at visionaries are saying "we should do this thing that has already been done", saying "we should do this impossible thing" is worthwhile.

I agree with you - The goverments do not care about our privacy. Again and again this has been demonstrated through the laws passed and practices of these big spy organisations.

> It would also be interesting to see this expanded to other scholastic competitions, like the chess club, or the debating team.

When I did intercollegiate speech and debate, no one prohibited me from (or threatened my continued eligibility for) getting paid endorsements, or from engaging in paid professional speaking or argument.

Now, there weren't exactly piles of opportunities, either, but I was free to take any I found.
It has? Where? Who uses ONNX for anything? I doubt it even can work, period. The moment you do anything other than a bare bones classifier (which nobody really runs on devices - you need more complex models to solve real world problems) you run into ops unsupported by your inference framework, and that's if ONNX is supported by its tooling in the first place. In fact you could also run into unsupported ops during export as well: that is, it is somewhat likely that you won't even be able to export your model unless it consists entirely of the ops ONNX standard implements. The rest can be exported as opaque ops, but your inference tooling will not know what to do with those for sure.
Total donations were something like $36 million, and by all accounts, kids were extremely smart and motivated.

> We've been using our hands for years-keyboards, trackballs, mice, joysticks, custom wheels for driving games, the nintendo light gun for duck hunt, and so forth.

These are generally quite poor interfaces compared to what is conceivably possible. A precise pressure-sensitive stylus and/or multiple fingers on a responsive high-resolution display are much richer than these: higher bandwidth of a more directly relevant input. But the finger/stylus on screen is strictly 2-dimensional without any haptic feedback.

Even such tasks as rotating and moving a computer model of a single 3-dimensional object are extremely cumbersome and unintuitive using mouse, keyboard, joystick, steering wheel, etc.

Now imagine using those tools for e.g. controlling a simulated puppet in real time. Pretty much impossible. And yet people control physical puppets with amazing precision and flexibility with some strings and wooden sticks.

And that’s just moving an already existing collection of shapes. What if I want to design a new shape, say a newly imagined knot, or a new playground climbing structure, or a chair, or the face of an imagined deep-sea creature. Tools like pipe cleaners, modeling clay, paper & scissors, wooden sticks and a hot glue gun, ... are dramatically richer and more efficient than any of these electronic tools.
D0 == Division 0. Right now all the top teams play in Division 1 athletics, with a bunch of other teams that generally don't get nearly as much money or notoriety but give the top teams some other teams to "beat up on" so to speak (although they do sometimes lose). Division 0 is this idea that the Power 5 (see below) would form their own division.

Right now there are three divisions, and they are based on school size, which is why all the big schools are division 1 but there is a big difference in quality. The idea here is to take the top teams and split off regardless of school size.

P5 == Power 5. These are the five conferences that have almost all the top teams. Big ten, Big 12, the ACC, the Pac-12, and the SEC.

G5 == Group of 5. These are there conferences with the lesser know teams. American, Conference USA, Mid-American, Mountain West, and Sun Belt
My naive assumption is that there are no peer-to-peer, or hosted, apps in the stores that aren’t screened/intercepted by someone.

Texas is the other state with enough teams in the NCAA that enacting a similar law would tip things to option 3.

Question is if both states, under regulatory capture, will allow any similar law to pass. I dare say that NCAA sports are bigger business in Texas and Florida by percent when compared to California, which has other very profitable industries. Thus the college boards have a far deeper connection to the legislature. So in a prisoners dilemma, either both of them can choose not to pass similar legislation, keeping the money out of the hands of athletes, or either state will pass similar legislation in order to complete with California for athletes. The other state would have to follow to compete for athletes, forcing the NCAA's hand to go with option 3.
Many universities just toss you an MS degree along the way for free in your PhD, but coming in with one has no real effect on your PhD length besides waving some clad requirements. At the end of the day US PhD programs just assume you will do 5 or more years of research, for those looking to be professors this is a boon as many US PhDs skip the postdoc step often required for EU PhDs which are typically 3ish years.

The Demon of Melancholy
The vast majority of the greenhouse gas emissions do not come from "lifestyle" choices such as eating meat, but from transportation, industrial use and electrical production

Why did you exclude transportation and electrical production from "lifestyle choices" since lifestyle choices can reduce both of those? And it doesn't even have to be a large change in lifestyle -- do you really need that 18mpg full size SUV/truck, or would a 29 mpg car suffice for your daily needs and you can hire a truck when you actually need to haul stuff?

For popular things? Yes, not enough of the information is reliable. Unpopular and niche things still benefit from reviews. It's almost as if the quality and usefulness goes up as the review count stays low.
You described a person who is driven andn focused. Essentially you're looking for the traits of:

Intelligence and Determination.

The best specific habit I can give you to increasing determination is to start a mindfulness practice and get high intensity cardio regular.

Mindfulness - 20 minutes a day, twice if you can. It helps you, among other things, be more honest with yourself and become comfortable with being uncomfortable.

Cardio - You don't have to run a marathon here. Get your heart rate up to your max heart rate for about 10 seconds, usually it will take you about 90 seconds to two minutes to do this. Keep doing this for about 30 minutes. This will up your metabolism but it will also help you learn how to push because you are physically pushing yourself. Use a decent heart rate monitor a $30 chest strap is all you need.

Other habits include removing any addictions in your life that do not benefit you I'm getting 8 hours of sleep every night.

Then find a problem you can get behind and try to solve it.
Disclosure: I'm a big BIG tensorflow fan.

I've been using the rc's for a while now and I must admit, it's a big step up for projects you are starting from scratch. Migrating... Probably not as clean as I would like to admit but it does the job. Overall tf 2.0 removes a lot of the boilerplate code, which is awesome.
I think that I take the effort to update most of my side projects to TF 2, or mark the github repos as no longer supported for really old code.

Some may complain about big API changes but I think it is occasionally healthy to tag old stable versions and do massive code refactoring.

I assume that TensorFlow.js is also getting updated - I find it almost equally nice to prototype with (the bundled examples are first rate).
On YouTube can you set your name to anything, including the name of another channel. This leads to accounts with the same name and profile picture as the actual channel commenting on any popular video. These accounts typically have no subscribers as they are not channels of actual creators. Having 100K subscribers proves you are an actual channel with fans who will want to know if a comment posted under that name is the actual content creator.
Instragram offers their services to the general public, which makes the users of these services consumers. That is, if these are not businesses.

That Instagram uses the information gathered from providing these services for different services provided to another type of client (businesses, since consumers are officially not allowed to do business), does not change that.

But it could mean that Intragram is breaking laws that protect consumers (or citizens in general) from abusive practises. For example invasion of privacy (in particular surveillance), which is in many countries a privilege/monopoly limited to governments (just as use of violence).

When social media companies declared that privacy is dead, they essentially said that they do not acknowledge this monopoly/privilege of governments. This has been reality for some time, which is why many people got used to it and have accepted it as normal. However, just as criminals can claim that laws do not apply to them, the claims of social media companies might not have any legal basis. Maybe they have in the USA (I really do not know), but they sure appear to not have it in other parts of the world.

The State of the Startup IPO Market
If we could make bets according to the markets perception of the Nature-Nurture debate, my feeling is that natures role is undervalued.
The obvious counter to this argument is that blind babies follow roughly (often slightly delayed) the same developmental pattern and stages as sighted children, with the mostly likely cause of the delay being motivational rather than anything to do with processing visual imagery of what walking/crawling looks like. Both are usually crawling in 6-12 month range.
"The team behind a pioneering biological experiment sent to the lunar far side has released an image showing two green leaves grown on the moon."

"Image processing has now shown that two cotton leaves had grown—rather than just one as initially thought—in what was the first biological growth experiment on the moon."
I have become interested in Tacit Knowledge – any thoughts or advice?
Hello

I've become fascinated with Tacit Knowledge. It seems to lie at the heart of so many of the things HN readers are interested in. Artificial intelligence, augmented reality, moravec's paradox, skepticism of schooling, learning and so many other topics.

Does anybody else feel that way? Do there exist communities who talk about tacit knowledge?

Is anybody attempting to build a CYC-like project to collect and understand what a philosopher called the Tacit Dimension?

Any contributing thoughts welcome.
“Precision Heuristic” – Why Precise #'s Make You More $ (Cornell, 2007) [pdf]
The most honest answer?

Because putting a damned capacitice touchscreen is cheaper than even one good button.

I spent non-trivial amount of time to find devices that have tactile, physical interfaces. I certainly paid a premium in all cases. Because putting a capacitive layer and an LCD is god damn cheaper, for the reasons you describe.

It's not that the screens are better, or even good. It's that they are so versatile that they are the cheapest, lowest common denominator option for interaction design.

In a sense, Star Trek predicted this, as at least part of the reasoning behind flat panel touchscreens everywhere was that it was very, very cheap prop to make compared to complex physical controls.

The touchscreen is the natural evolution of unending drop down menus that require several trips through every time you do some operation, because the application development had no time for UX research.
You're absolutely right, my older one was super-athletic - rolled over at 2 weeks on the doctors examining table, crawled till his knees bled ( even got those knee protectors, lol!), walked at 10 months. But he lagged when it came to speech, barely spoke till he was 2 months old. But now at 7 he can't stop speaking. I feel, some faculties develop very fast and some just take time. I see parents coming to the soccer class, compare their kid to my son and just feel really shitty that their kid can't do what he does. I have to tell them, that's his proclivity, he's not great at reading, writing, but anything physical he's a beast.
Things like this article describes, the fact the world is getting greener as a result of human activity[1] not to mention the constant advance of technology is why I'm still optimistic for our future despite all the doomsday predictions.

Seems like Neuromancer is getting some hate. Considering this is 'hacker' news, it iz worth a mention that said book did an excellent job illustrating the compound approach to security necessary in a networked world. Second, the portrayal of a hacker as a tool user 'piloting' stolen attack software rather than an academic attack developer is something a large portion of the world would be wise to absorb.

Comp-fi, maybe not. A landmark work regarding information security, possibly.
cool, if he had made a probably shorter point along these lines as to why he will consider these societies that called themselves Communist as being such despite others saying they weren't I would not be questioning anything.

although as claudiawerner suggests below there are other reasons for finding the statement about Marxist thought not handling the collapse of these Communist companies to be factually inaccurate.

My son was like that. He was an earlier crawler. He became very good at crawling, standing and going back to the floor. But he was a very late walker. For him walking was less efficient. Turns out, walking age is not really an indicator. What is important is the age at which they try to move from one place to another. It doesn't matter if they crawl, some kids move sitting and pull themselves with one leg.

I'm going to second 'True Names'. I think Vinge excels at suggesting an idea with just the right amount of vagueness that it makes the imagination run wild filling in the details.
It's true that they were very profitable for several years, and then lost a ton of money at the end. Some of their worst losses were due to "style drift" into strategies that they were not experienced in, such as an unhedged bet on the Russian ruble before it was devalued. However, their core strategies involved exploiting very small profits with 25X leverage. Very few strategies can survive with that much leverage. Obviously a 4% decline in asset prices wipes you out, but in the case of LTCM it didn't take that large of a move. Since they were large and well-known when they started to lose money other traders figured out their positions and bet against their specific positions, knowing that LTCM would be forced to sell.

This is all from the excellent book "When Genius Failed."
The sooner we can separate sports and education and allow the market play itself out, the better.

Here’s a family that donated $37 million to a half dozen schools over several years, ostensibly to increase the odds of his [well qualified] children to be accepted into one or more of those schools.

Personally, I think if someone wants to pay the way of, let’s say, 300 students to get full scholarships, so that their child can attend, this seems like a very sustainable model which benefits everyone involved.

$37 million buys a lot of resources so arguably this isn’t taking a spot away from anyone, if anything it is enabling these universities to provide more spots to students who deserve them, potentially at zero cost.
In 1968 the iPad also seemed extremely difficult, though.
I have to admit as an average intelligence middle class health care worker I actually assumed the ultra rich 100% did pay for their way into university. WhenI saw the admission scandal break I was actually surprised that these rich people had to go out of their way to craft reasons for their kids to attend like fake sports scholarships and such. It was only after I was made to realize how their actions were illegal.

On a spectrum we have Ponzi schemes, which never offer a product. We have MLMs which are legal Ponzi because there is an exchange of goods or services, but operate on social networks (original non internet meaning). Then we have franchise schemes where the wholesaling aspect is often less lucrative than the real estate angle (see also Sears, McDonald’s), and so despite offering goods they are de facto profitable real estate endeavors. Then we have manufacturers who actually work the way we believe these other organizations work, by providing goods to retailers who take over some of the salesmanship, logistics and risk for a slice of the profits.

Then we have WeWork. Which looks like a technical savvy landlord but under it all is subletting from one of the founders. Which I suppose would make this closest in structure to an IPO for a franchisee? That’s the sort of investment opportunity a bank would be into but makes no sense on the NYSE.

WeWork needs to get to a point where some to half of its properties were acquired under their own steam instead of through the founders. Otherwise it’s just a sucker’s bet.
I'm saying your prediction of doom and gloom are obviously detached from reality if you look at a country like Germany, which has next to no Nuclear use. Yeah, it would be neat, but not necessary.
I have no idea, but for the first one: chances are the retail employee will enter the pin themselves.
I could see this scenario, but the NCAA would have to worry about losing their sanctioned monopoly status if they started punishing teams for following their state's laws.
Such standards exist. For example, consider the laws around "structuring" financial transactions to avoid reporting requirements. You can get as creative as you want, it's all illegal, the crime is attempting to avoid the regulation and if you try it they will absolutely fuck your shit up. It is one of the most stringently enforced financial crimes and if you try it the feds will come down on you like a ton of bricks. Never, never attempt to structure financial transactions.

One of the problems with legal discussions on this site is that we tend to apply programmer logic to legal problems like this and come up with loopholes. But ultimately the law is interpreted by humans. Judges deal with criminals who think they've found a clever loophole all day, every day.
>When you open Netflix, you just want to watch something interesting within some category.

No no no, I want Netflix to take the Spotify approach. I'm just not sure the media industry is willing to let that happen.
I recall talking to the chair of special gifts at an elite institution, and him lamenting that the school had rejected the children of multiple billionaires, making his life much harder.

Brown traditionally let a few parents buy their kids a spot, but most other Ivy League places can find enough highly qualified kids who happen to be offspring of rich parents to not worry much.
They're paid with a free education. That doesn't balance out the inequity of profits made off their labor but it isn't nothing.
