Here's a real world application of Karatsuba: carryless multiplication of finite field elements for cryptography (universal hashing):

(note: that function is a bit more than Karatsuba, it also has a modular reduction at the end. I should probably refactor it to make that more clear)

The fine in Zürich is "only" USD ~100 plus the ticket you where supposed to have. However, if you get caught again the price goes up. Your record doesn't get deleted for at least a year. If you get cought more than 4 times they may take you to criminal court.

If you have a valid ticket on your name but not on you, they will issue the fine but you will get it reduced to USD ~10-25 if you show your pass at a station beuro.
Part of researching is learning to use the tools you have available. Experienced researchers familiar with the domain are wonderful tools.
And I've run up $1k to $5k in an hour... I've seen players turn $5k into $100k at an even higher stakes game over a few hours.

I'd rather see some evidence of wrongdoing, you can't prove he's cheating simply because he's on a heater...

If you're on a bike, that road is lethal. Any mistake and your tire's going into the track and you're on the ground.
If it's an inside job, the phones are not even necessary. Body language could communicate the state of competitor's hands against his.

And because the stream is delayed, there is not even a need for hand states to be revealed by RFID. This info can be retroactively added with better techniques.
We post thousands of moderation comments about things other personal attacks—though of course personal attacks are not ok on HN. I don't understand this reasoning where, if X is not ok, X must be the only thing moderators care about. Surely it is not so hard to understand that we have more than one rule.

It's not against the rules to be wrong, though. How could this be otherwise? We don't have a truth meter.
Advertising is a disease, it infects and corrupts everything it touches. Often it starts when a company realizes it's another revenue stream, and adds commercials to a product people already pay for. And when there are competitors, this lets a company undercut them.
Another interesting keyboard that I forgot to mention is the Waytools Textblade. It's tiny and uses multi-touch, alas it's been in crowdfunding for four years now and it seems it will never be released. I've cancelled my preorder long ago and am waiting for the release of the final product.
That's different from full PWA support. Apple understandably has strong incentives to make building a PWA not a viable alternative to a native iOS app (since that means more iOS-only apps which makes other platforms less useful).
This statement is just hysteria, an attempt at whipping up a Moral Panic (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moral_panic) in order to generate a rhetorical fog and attack the FBI's enemies.

Media need to quit repeating things word-for-word, especially coming from those who are in positions of authority, and those claiming a principled stand. Historically, while not always rubbish, such claims from people in authority tend to reinforce the authority, and nothing more. Such claims coming as a "principled stand" seem to often be used not to get folks to conform to the principles, but just to get media to amplify whatever claim goes along with it.
Unless it's being relayed by someone on the production team who does has access to the live video/RFID feeds, as part of preparing them for the delayed streaming elsewhere.

Cool, Apple isn't so bad I though after this app ban.

But anyway, if you're in China - be careful, seems like Chinese icloud (or something like it) under government control, too many issues/speculations about it.
That is only because App Stores never used to exist. Now it is common to not to have a side-load option.

And walled gardens aren't weird. It has always been the default. I can only install console games approved by Sony, Nintendo etc for example. Printer cartridges were even signed against the printer themselves. Companies have always tried to lock you down in some way.
> There's a lot of hand analysis proving that it is a statistical impossibility that he's not cheating, and a lot of speculation on possible methods, but nothing that explains how he actually did it.

While it does sound like he's cheating I don't see how you can get there with just statistics. He could be incredibly good at reading his opponents.

(But it's super implausible that he doesn't play anything but these specific games, and then wins by such a large margin.)
Honestly, isn’t 90% of compliance like that? Checking boxes...

So how many negative results has Nature published lately?
Apple only has its self to blame when it doesn’t necessarily get the benefit of the doubt as far as potential Chinese policy influence goes.
There's a multiverse theory that there are many possible or existing universes with different physical constants, affecting everything from chemistry to orbital mechanics, and the reason we are having this conversation is because this universe was conducive to the formation of highly organized lifeforms capable of abstract thought.

In this line of reasoning "Why this set of constants" doesn't matter, because only the universes that could have observers would be observed.
IME the US profs like to assign problems from the book and follow the chapters pretty closely. So editions often had reworked problems or fixed typos. On rare occasions a professor was kind enough to let people using older editions know the differences and let them use older ones, but it was definitely more work for the professor than just expecting everyone to have the same book and problems.
Security isn't as important as performance.
I'm not stating that this is my opinion, rather a reasonable position would be based on the 4th Amendment.

>>>The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.

Under the 4th, It could be argued that when the government has demonstrated that they have met the standard for reasonable, technology should allow them to have access to that data. Therefore, it's unreasonable that access to data in question is controlled by potential co-conspirators; those with perverse incentives to withhold compliance. It's also unreasonable for entities that operate within the governments jurisdiction to circumvent this constitutional requirement.
Unfortunately, iOS does not support web push notifications like Android (and practically every desktop browser including Safari on macOS), which is a huge limitation.

Not supporting notifications at all is a dealbreaker for most apps that could just be PWAs.

Furthermore, last I checked, iOS doesn’t allow PWAs added to the home screen to access the camera or certain other valuable things that they should be able to access, but maybe that has finally been fixed.

Apple has intentionally made PWAs a bad experience to push people to the App Store, which is really unfortunate since they basically invented the concept of adding a website to your home screen that would then open in a chromeless experience that felt like an app.
1. Helmets are pretty common for road cyclist in places where the roads aren't super safe. Tailbone & back protection aren't super useful do to the kinds of accidents you get.

2. A big difference is downhill versus (mostly) flat. I only wear my helmet about 10-20% of the time when I'm ski touring. Downhill bikers wear all sorts of padding & protectors.
I'm having a hard time understanding the argument being made in that article. If I only want the History channel, then paying for the bundle means I'm paying for a channel I don't want. Given that I only want about 20 channels that my plan offers, but I have to pay for 500, I'm paying for a lot I have no use for. There's even a specific charge for sports channels that I have _never_ watched even once.

> If I try to come up with an "approximation" scheme that discretizes f(t), then I can always come up with a strategy for Player A to defeat that scheme.

Player A does not know what your scheme is, and you are free to change it - in fact, you can change it for each round, and thus defeat any attempt by A to deduce it. In other words, don't have a scheme, forget about f(t), and just pick a number. Any number you pick is, ipso facto, from any number of distributions that are nonzero everywhere (and also, as it happens, from any number that are not), regardless of whether or not you have any of them in mind.

The distribution f(t) does not appear in the explanation of the outcome, and I think it's true to say that the only reason f(t) is mentioned at all is that if you do instead choose from a distribution from which some ranges of numbers are excluded, then the puzzle-poser can no longer say that your odds are strictly greater than 50-50, as player A might always pick from an excluded range (for example, if player B stubbornly insists on only picking positive numbers, and player A is determined on only playing negative numbers.) Without the requirement for f(t) to be nonzero everywhere, I think then either one would have to drop the 'strictly' claim, which makes the result look far less paradoxical (B can sometimes do better than 50-50), or one would have to put some constraints on how A chooses the number-pairs (and, furthermore, those constraints would be dependent on which particular distribution B was using.)
There are Journals of Negative Results. This isn't really a fix, because people will still not publish negative results unless there's an incentive to do so. And there rarely is, because most negative results will be considered as boring (unless they disprove an existing, popular result).

What we really need is to decouple the publishing decision from the outcome. A way to do this is to use registered reports.
Interesting, but not surprising considering all the pressure from governments regarding Libra. I wonder if Facebook will ever back down from Libra considering how popular it is, or if they're going to adopt a "rain or shine" attitude and go forward with it regardless of what happens?
Let me get this straight.

Wasn't Waymo valued at $210Bn like 5 months ago? Cloud is $225Bn. Google has $117Bn in cash. It's total market cap is $839Bn. That means the rest of Google is worth $287Bn. Really?
The key to that is to list the item at $1 with no reserve. That will generate enough interest from bottom-feeders that it will usually do okay. I like your Reverse Auction if it's not something you want to sell quickly, but if you want to get the $$$ faster, the $1 auction does usually generate sufficient interest.

>The US, for all of its faults, attempts to reign in immoral and counter-productive behavior within its sphere of influence. Iran is a net-exporter of terrorism (methodologies, material, and financial support

How is exporting billions in arms to Saudi Arabia and assisting them in continuing the Yemen war/blockade attempting to reign in immoral behavior? Why is Iran's "exporting terrorism" so much worse despite killing far fewer civilians?

>I view you as purposely being disingenuous.

Nope. A moral high ground should not enable a country to interfere in foreign elections, nor does the US have such a moral high ground.

Netflix has ridiculously large operations. 37% of downstream internet traffic in North America in 2016 https://time.com/3901378/netflix-internet-traffic/ 15% of global internet traffic in 2018 https://www.sandvine.com/hubfs/downloads/phenomena/2018-phen... . Not that I'm against adding Microsoft, but I think Netflix has definitely earned its spot.
As an undergrad & grad about 10 years ago, I absolutely loved our university library for working and studying solo (although rarely, if ever, did I need a physical book).

But being surrounded by huge shelves of books, gave a sort of muffled/muted ambience that was perfect and hard to find outside of a library. Coffee shops are close, but they're either much noisier or empty therefore all too quiet.

College libraries were the sweet spot for deep work/study for me.
I agree that this article focuses primarily on the "how" he cheated and the circumstantial pieces, but I've followed the story... It's a lot more than just that. I'm struggling to find the source right now (know it was via Haralabos Voulgaris's Twitter account [0]), but his win rate is something like 31 standard deviations above the mean. He also never plays high stakes anywhere else, and only plays high-stakes when his alleged co-conspirator is working. There's a ton of data-backed evidence that he's cheating. Seriously, scroll back through Haralabob's timeline and you'll find it all.

It's a numbers game. Investing a lot of time/interest in one position is a sure way to be disappointed.

Instead, if you into 'interview/job hunting mode' you get more value for your investment by applying your interview prep and portfolio prep across many possible positions.

Some people flat out deny any coding exercises especially when they have great references and/or portfolio (GitHub or otherwise). If that isn't you, be prepared to do some (short) coding exercises to prove your expertise and interest in an area, and you will knock them out quickly especially if they are all in the same language/framework you are skilled in.

Good luck!

What competitive landscape? They're only competing with piracy. Movies and TV shows are mostly non-substitutable, so you almost always have a choice only between a) whichever streaming platform has an exclusive deal on streaming a given show, b) buying physical disks, and c) piracy.
A poker engine wouldn't really help you since it can't read players and intentions, also most decent players can calculate odds in their heads.

You just have to be careful. It's not such a problem. Bikes are also supposed to ride on the side of the road or on the bike paths.
Yes. Because that's exactly the place where users would look for the install option. Apple's finest UX people at work, here.
I'm hoping that the event listeners on dom elements can be improved slightly so that if I have an element with an @click listener, it will just create one listener for the whole site, rather than one for each instance of that component.
I tend to fall back to jQuery event listeners on the document and listen for clicks on elements with a specific class if I know there will be a lot of instances.
> The only mention of moderators was in the context of chastising the poster who calls the misinformation out.

Obviously we don't chastise users for correcting misinformation. We chastise them for breaking the site guidelines. How could we do otherwise?

There's an important insight here. Correcting misinformation is when it's most critical to follow the site guidelines. That's not so easy, because misinformation can be irritating and even triggering. But if you react to it with name-calling, flamewar, personal attack or things like that, then you discredit your comment and—if your position is correct—you discredit the truth. Then you're not only making HN worse, you're making the world worse.

The thing to try to remember is that while you may not owe the other commenter any better, you owe the community better, and you owe the truth better. The one who knows more has more responsibility.

I wasn't making the claim that India isn't diverse, just what was in my comment. The claim was that people being "unable to communicate" makes the country more diverse than the US. Take any western European country and you'll find exactly the same huge diversity in skin color, religion, economy, and all of those factors.
Netflix already does, they have pretty obvious product placement.
Fellow UMich grad here. Shapiro library (formal name for UgLi) was always a great place to study because you had plenty of noise isolation from other people, especially the upper floors.

On North Campus, CS majors had two major study spaces: the Beyster computer lab/atrium, and the Duderstadt Library. Course staff would provide office hours in Beyster, and if you wanted to study in a more collaborative environment, that was the place to be. Duderstadt had a mix of collaborative spaces (in closed rooms) and quiet workspaces (the benches near the stacks). I studied in both locations, depending on my needs at the time. Was a pretty effective setup.
Yes, they are averages. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/First-degree_relatives for example.

Premium video ads sell at much higher CPM than YouTube. Hulu makes more money from users on their "with-ads" tier than on the higher-priced "ad-free" tier.

4 pieces of data for you that explain how he was cheating:

> While his neighbors keep their phones on the table, he always keeps his phone on his chair between his legs, with his left hand holding it in place beneath the table. He almost never brings his left hand up above the table. He puts his head down to glance at his phone before he makes decisions. It all seems so obvious now.

> Like the fact that he starts wearing a hat that has a strange bulge around the brim—one that vanishes after the game when he’s doing an interview in the booth. Is it a bone-conducting headset, as some online have suggested, sending him messages directly to his inner ear by vibrating on his skull? Of course it is! How could it be anything else? It’s so obvious! Or the fact that he keeps his keys in the same place on the table all the time. Could they contain a secret camera that reads electronic sensors on the cards? I can’t see any other possibility! It is all starting to make sense.

> He also deleted his LinkedIn account, which indicated that he was connected to the company that ran the Stones Live broadcasts and had worked for them as a consultant in the past.

> The fact is, the mystery was solved a long time ago. It’s just like De Niro’s Ace Rothstein says in Casino when the yokel slot attendant gets hit for three jackpots in a row and tells his boss there was no way for him to know he was being scammed. “Yes there is,” Ace replies. “An infallible way. They won.” According to one poster on TwoPlusTwo, in 69 sessions on Stones Live, Postle has won in 62 of them, for a profit of over $250,000 in 277 hours of play. Given that he plays such a large number of hands, and plays such an erratic and, by his own admission, high-variance style, one would expect to see more, well, variance. His results just aren’t possible even for the best players in the world, which, if he isn’t cheating, he definitely is among. Add to this the fact that it has been alleged that Postle doesn’t play in other nonstreamed live games at Stones, or anywhere else in the Sacramento area, and hasn’t been known to play in any sizable no-limit games anywhere in a long time, and that he always picks up his chips and leaves as soon as the livestream ends.

So, does he have an RFID reader in his keys which communicates data to him via his phone or his hat?

Or, does he have a backdoor into the non-delayed feed with an accomplice?

Either are possible and he's definitely doing one of the above. If he wasn't cheating, he would be a world class all star poker player.
Something I've come to realize is that the automobile industries in each country play an important role.

Switzerland and the Netherlands don't have any major car manufacturing, though I do bet they have some suppliers. And it doesn't even have to be a direct influence (like the LA streetcar story), it's just a background of economics, priorities, and zeitgeist. Politicians and planners won't be as tempted to go against cars when some non-negligeable percentage of their economy (already fragile) is based on car manufacturing.

European countries with large auto manufacturers like France, Germany, and England (also Spain and Italy) still have better transit and town planning than the US (due to history and density), but they won't be as actively seeking car-less solutions (at least until there is total gridlock in the hyper-center). But I think even there, people are realizing that in the suburbs and between towns you need cars, but if you're going to the city center, you're much better off with transit and walking.
Funnily enough, one of the scenarios in SimCity on the SNES was dealing with Bern traffic in 1965. I remember that one being pretty easy as all you needed to do was bulldoze a bunch of roads and replacing it with rail.
It's entirely possible that as a former employee he has access to the system that is responsible for introducing the streaming delay and gets a real-time feed on his phone or some other wearable device.
Every time I’ve looked it’s fewer shows, though - last I checked it was only 3. They were popular ones but nothing I had any interest in, so I switched from Netflix (I was done waiting for them to let me turn off that horrid auto-preview misfeature) and I have never once seen an ad on Hulu.
You assume that wealthy people aren't sociopaths when it comes to the well-being of the people who work for them.

Akamai caching wouldn't stop working. Depending on how it works, you'd either hit the cache/edge in a different country, or a local one with a matching bgp route anyway. There's nothing anti competitive here.
Design is something that can't simply be tacked on after the fact either. It's something that must be embraced by the core developers and influences plenty of decision making.

Plenty of people don't have good design taste but can still be useful software, so I hope it doesn't deter them.

Although there may be a correlation between poor interface design being reflected in the backend. From naming schemes, to modelling the data, to managing complexity, saying no to certain features, etc are all things that cross over into the design world.
I went for a Lasik consult recently and they said they have to dilate my eyes to get the most accurate reading since the muscles can compensate and give variable readings. It's true, my last two prescriptions differed from the reading they got with my eyes dilated. Maybe it was just an extra money grab but if it's true and I had known that before I would have asked them to dilate my eyes when I wanted to get glasses too.
No one is advocating for "silent" installs; even in the wide-open-freedom days of early Windows, you still had to download and run a binary to install anything (browser exploits and such notwithstanding.)
