I am working on image search engine based on AI (demo: http://demo.khumbu.im/ ). Khumbu detected faces, objects, scenes, metadata on images etc and provides flexible search using this information (see http://demo.khumbu.im/examples/). UI is a little bit ugly(sorry, I am backend person), but everything else is up and running. Currently I work on REST api, k8s deployment and some AI-related things.
I also got some small investments to rent servers.

I am looking for person who could work on UI related things, product improvement and has experience in startups. Europe is preferable.

AvE's style is very entertaining. I always end up coming away with understanding a little bit more about physical engineering and manufacturing after watching something of his.

My father-in-law also cultivates and sells carnivorous plants as well as water lilies as a hobby. And he's also Belgian.
I actually know somebody who did this but for AAPL many years back. At the time, I too thought he was insane, but it worked out very well for him. A propos TSLA price, the problem is they are about to face a lot more competition from companies with sophisticated, established, distribution networks, etc.
My friend is long TSLA because he hopes it will pay for his Tesla.

Did that end up retroactively changing his grade in the course as well?
No, model Y is built on the same frame as model x. It'll be a suv.

Sorry. meant model 3.

I don't think there was ever a question about hiding his identity - the govt was after him before he'd even left Hong Kong or any leak had been published. At the time he said he didn't care what happened to him.

I find it interesting that you posit Deep Throat's approach as somehow more noble. If Snowden had anonymously leaked and kept on working would that have been less questionable or more honest?
My sense is that automakers believe that low-emissions cars will not sell well unless people can acquire them as a means of signalling virtue and wealth. In other words, unless the car is instantly identifiable as a fancy new EV, a large subset of potential buyers will lack interest.

I suspect this is mostly myth propped up by apocryphal assertions that Prius sold well due to its distinct look. But I am just a long-time curious observer, not an expert.
LTS Linux releases still get browser updates. The purpose of LTS is to continue getting updates for years, they're not frozen with old versions.

>> There is simply no way the US Government is going to let the only major domestic commercial aircraft business go under.

The problem is this knowledge is built into the share price. In other words, the bottom would fall out only if the government started giving signals that it would in fact be willing to let Boeing fail.

Still, bailing out Boeing would be extremely costly, not because of the bailout itself, but because the WTO prohibits government subsidies of aerospace industries in Europe and US. So the resulting punitive tariffs from Europe would hurt a ton.
You should have bribed the inspectors. After multiple FBI investigations, LA County building inspectors have figured out that the fines are smaller than the profit. It’s surreal how openly corrupt the planning and building departments in LA are.
> Apparently they've integrated the open file dialog with their access control, so any such dialog will automatically permit the app to access the target file/folder. The pop-ups only appear when an app wants to access specific folders in the background. This is brilliant and would stop e.g. malware which encrypts documents or nosy apps in their tracks!

This pattern is called "powerbox", an idea from object capability security. I'm sure there are plenty of other usability improvements in there if you study those ideas (more so the more important security is to your application).

Your comments seems to agree with me: That Android is not good for power users.

To a power user, this isn't a phone that is smart. It is a computer that is running Linux. It's totally fine to put in measures that enhance security on an unrooted phone, and it's also fine to make users go through hoops to root the phone and give them more power. But simply disallowing basic things with root privileges is hostile to power users.

Take something as trivial as backup, for example. I need a rooted app to do it (and thankfully, it works). But if you step back and realize an unrooted user cannot easily back up the contents of some of their simple apps without using a 3rd party cloud, and realizing that even that doesn't work well, then you can't reasonably view an Android device as something you truly own. I paid hundreds of dollars for a device where it's nontrivial to get access to my own data on the device.

Xfinity (Comcast) experience has been 2-10 modem resets per day and the VOIP landline would randomly not let the calling party hear you. To me, Comcast is invasive and trying to monetize everything not nailed down just like FANAG. Encrypt your DNS, get your own Wifi AP and use a VPN.
The question is meaningless. In the age of BitTorrent, even making adblockers straight-up illegal wouldn't stop them and whichever underground adblocker that did what the user wants (i.e. no ads at all) would win out over any adblocker coalition agreeing to a whitelist scheme.

Whether they reduce the quality of the web or not, they are here to stay.
I think the takeaway would be that WeWork has found the biggest sucker out there, and that nobody else at this point would invest a dime in them.

Until you can somehow show profit on sales per unit, then you certainly aren't running a sustainable business. All of the more clued in investors are running for the hills. Google ventures invested early in Uber - when was they last time they tossed Uber more money? (Honest question, I don't know)

Seems like WeWork wants to enlist true believers/people who think they can flip their investment. I don't see an exit plan.
It’s not only a lie, it’s a lie made for profit. Someone looks at that photo and thinks “this is what it was like”, because that is what the photo is supposed to convey. Instead it’s an oversold fantasy. Is something okay just because everyone does it?

This is exactly what I think. They did a very good job capturing the early market given the void left by traditional auto makers.
The next 5 years will be very tough. They will be competing on the efficiency of the production chain. Toyota and Volkswagen are unbeatable at that game.

Regarding your story with AAPL: Good for him but how many others will we never hear about? Betting everything on a single stock is the number one mistake that amateur investors make.
That would technically put almost everything you do that doesn't stay on one side or other, under federal purview. Not recommended unless you're a masochist

You should be.
I think the reason you don't is because there's quite a bit of confirmation bias on Hacker News. The demographic of people using HN is far more tech savvy and technical than the majority of the population so things like this feel like they spark a huge amount of outrage when, in reality, it affects like 0.1% of the population.
Normally I invest in companies who I believe are undervalued and have solid fundamentals/profitability and are well positioned for future growth.

TSLA is one of my few "emotional investments" of companies I've invested in because I want it to succeed. IMO its share price is highly speculatively priced, but I expect they'll eventually be able to maintain profitability to justify it as they're best positioned to benefit from an EV (+ renewable energy) future.

I'm long TSLA and didn't expect them to achieve profitability before Shanghai Gigafactory (+ Model Y) is in full production, so this earnings release was a welcomed surprise. Happy to see them continue to grow and further invest in the future.
They can always build factories in china and transport them to US

For those confused..

There is a commit saying this
MS "fixed" Vista UAC by making it unsound and not a security boundary in 7. Now I'm not even sure it was a security boundary in Vista, but when you look at the technical way it is implemented and the additions it came and work with at the ACL level, it was probably at least initially intended to be by their designers.

If anything UAC is a good case to show how security must come with usability, otherwise you just don't get much in the end...

The end result from a technical point of view; well obviously better than nothing, but never count on it. It is actually way more useful to avoid casual mistake than for security purposes.
man, i downvoted you (and usually i strongly dislike and avoid meta discussions on downvoting or being downvoted, yet it seems here it warrants an explanation, at least i'd have liked if somebody gave me a one in a situation like yours) because you're making gross logical mistake:

> You are buying into a cult with some life changing saving (kid's college)

he never said that he is using kid's college savings and/or life changing savings. You ascribed that meaning to what he said, while he may have (and probably) said completely different thing - using small money on TSLA playing the chance that it may convert those small money into the life changing/kid college savings.

Everyone is laughing at Masa Son for paying $19Bn for something only worth $8Bn, but it’s entirely possible that it’s actually worth $0.
Sorry if this is slightly off topic, but it is amazing to me how differently various publications are spinning the same basic facts. Some headline samples:

"Tesla shares soar after crushing third-quarter earnings" CNBC

"Tesla's Quarterly Profit Drops 54%" WSJ

"Tesla returns to profitability and tops Wall Street's third-quarter earnings" Business Insider

"Tesla ekes out a profit as all eyes turn to its China Gigafactory" The Verge

I get that financials are prone to much speculation, interpretation, etc. But it seems that the news is so agenda driven today that we're twisting facts to fit some narrative rather than the other way around.

When the narratives being pushed at us by news organizations are so polarized around concrete numbers being reported at regular intervals in a heavily regulated manner, how can we hope to interpret more nuanced news appropriately?

Sorry, rant over. This is exciting news for Tesla! Or maybe the beginning of the end.
There's a good argument to be made that Rust is safer in multithreaded scenarios than the JVM or .NET.

Rust statically prevents inappropriate unsynchronized accesses for arbitrary APIs (for instance, the compiler will emit an error when attempting to mutate a non-concurrent object/data structure from multiple threads). Those VMs make unsynchronized mutations of individual memory locations work just enough to not be unsafe, but still allow arbitrary unsynchronized operations. These will likely end up with an incorrect result, even if there's no memory unsafety, and may completely violate any internal invariants of the object or data structure. This latter point means one cannot write a correct abstraction that relies on its invariants without explicitly considering threadsafety (it is opt-in safety), whereas Rust has this by default (opt-out safety).

Rust has essentially adopted the C/C++11 concurrency model.

If you don't restrict Terminal by default, users can be tricked into running malicious *.command files and the like.

The large majority of Mac owners will never intentionally use Terminal. I don't know what it's like in Catalina but I have no issue in Mojave going to Security & Privacy > Privacy and granting Terminal Full Disk Access because I'm one of the few who will be regularly using it. If Catalina is making it clear that permission needs to be granted, that's an improvement over Mojave because the first time I did something that required the Full Disk Access permission, that was not clear to me from the text shown in the shell.

> Question: doesn't there come a point where it is cheaper for Boeing to give up ... and eat the costs of retraining all the pilots

I thought that perhaps it was worse than this. If much training is required, then you are admitting that it's not the same plane anymore. And if it's not the same plane, then why does it get to grandfather in all the unchanged parts from the 1960s? Meaning... perhaps things like doors? I could be wrong about this, but I thought there were a bunch of mechanical parts which you would have to design differently on a new aircraft, to meet current rules.

That'd be me. Mostly interested in building a SaaS in the data analytics space or a service where data is close to the core.
Maybe? But that case study has already happened time and again, yet these sorts of folks are allowed to slowly creep into working systems and break them still.

I think it's just the classic aging business problems, most people are averagely competent, many companies fail, a company that happens to have an over abundance of particularly skilled people will succeed, but over time the average skill of those people will decrease and the company will flounder.

There are ways to keep standards moderately high, and there are ways to tank it by allowing nepotism, encouraging CYOAism & turf wars, cutting salaries on highly skilled individuals relative to market rates (or laying them off to replace them with college grads)... I think companies (in line with the larger market) are just naturally cyclic and that incredibly long lived companies are quite the exception to the standard life cycle.

Consumer GPS devices have a speed and altitude limit [1], which I initially thought should preclude using it in a fighter jet, but I was wrong (only something extreme like an SR-71 would hit this limit):

> ...a limit placed on GPS tracking devices that disables tracking when the device calculates that it is moving faster than 1,000 knots (1,900 km/h; 1,200 mph) at an altitude higher than 18,000 m (59,000 ft).[3] This was intended to prevent the use of GPS in intercontinental ballistic missile-like applications.
