I've been working in data science or in academia for most of the last decade and would argue that the primary benefits of using statistical models for automation are that they are fast and cheap compared to a trained professional, which frees those trained professionals up to spend more time on the difficult judgment calls. I've seen very few examples of superhuman performance on complex, practical tasks (although it is very satisfying to train a model to that level).

The branding is confusing. AutoSSL is a very popular feature with WHM/cPanel, so many shared hosting providers offer their "AutoSSL" service.

Additionally, Let's Encrypt is a partner with cPanel's AutoSSL, so even more confusion may arise out of that.

> There’s a vocal contingent on here that feel it’s some kind of moral failing and are mad that nobody is getting excited about their bingo card creating website.

LOL. I hope this is HN /s. If so, it has several layers of humor.

The guy who actually created a bingo card creation site has been fairly vocal with his stance that VC money should only be taken for rocket-ship trajectory businesses — with bingo card creation and other businesses he ran not being of that ilk.

IIRC, people have tried to get him on the VC track with a different business to no avail (yet).

Additionally, he (informally?) advises people who are applying to YC, and I think one point he consistently brings up with founders is whether they are sure that their business even wants to go on the VC path/trajectory. I think that’s a great question that many people don’t stop to ask due to the pejorative “lifestyle business” label (cough that might have a high chance of increasing ones net worth by millions rather than billions cough).

Regardless, to confirm and reiterate your point, VCs aren’t looking for singles... their looking for home runs, and they don’t mind striking out while pursuing that goal. If you take VC money, fully expect to be pushed to those extremes.

I really wish they'd replace the commit feed with a PR comment feed. I honestly don't care who committed what. I don't need to know about it until I'm reviewing a PR. The unit of review is the PR, not the commit.

I need to know when there are new comments on PRs I'm participating in. I need to know when a PR of mine fails the build. I need to know when a review is posted.

I don't give a shit when someone else commits to the repo. It's noise, not signal.
I've been out of the scene for a bit but last I looked Miguel had created tensorflow bindings for .Net. With some magic require incantations I was able to get that into F# and it actually worked.. Looks like there is SciSharp now and that project looks like it's heading in the right direction.

The key, IMHO, is going to be getting some influential people and projects on F# generating code and blog content. The user experience of getting setup for them and the audience they reach needs to be streamlined. From there if it JustWorks™ F# should do the rest of the selling :)

And to digress, because I always mention this when talking about F#, it deserves a batteries included web framework story as good as Elixir's Phoenix.

Your definition of "AI" seems to be "summary statistics" if all it's doing is saying "here's the current distribution." Men vs women seems like a pretty unsophisticated and crude feature.

If AI's going to be useful it would be able to find out deeper underlying things, faster than we can ourselves. If bias exists in people today, it's going to skew outcomes, so looking at stats on current outcomes alone isn't going to tell you much. An AI that's blind to conditioning and upbringing and everything else that's part of society is not a particularly useful AI, you could replace them with any average person off the street's naive "common sense."

Hackers Can Silently Control Your Google Home, Alexa, Siri With Laser Light
#1 Their ad-blocker is also a tracking blocker and a pretty strict one at that. They also spend a lot of time optimizing the performance[0] of this ad-blocking. This improves the browsing experience.

#2 Brave Ads are opt-in. You can alternatively fund the sites you visit on the web by putting BAT into your wallet directly and having the browser automatically distribute funds based on which content you spend time on per month. The entire idea of Brave is that people were already using ad-blockers, so I'm not sure how this is worse for content creators.

#3 ???

#4 BAT is an ERC-20 token - it exists on the Ethereum blockchain. Not sure why you think BTC would be better than that. Honestly not sure why you think Paypal would be better than that. At this point, anyone can transact the currency easily and quickly without any intervention from Brave. I can convert BAT to DAI right now on a decentralized exchange in less than a minute and have a virtual currency pegged to USD even if I don't bank with USD. At the moment this process is somewhat technical, but it overall seems very pro-consumer to me.

> getting a tattoo of a swastika

You can totally go get it. I won't welcome you back. You are no longer celebrating other people's self-expression, and so lose our celebration of yours.

> So this means I no longer need to tolerate you, personally?

Hmm... Yeah, seems reasonable. Here's a different approach:

It seems clear that most people are able to mostly tell when something intolerant is happening. So, look up the event chain: is this intolerance in response to intolerance, or is it response to something else?

> some tendency of de-escalation is required for things to settle out

Yes! Pretty sure the answer here is "forgiving tit-for-tat".

> are brought up by critics and reacted to as if they were actions

Which is (generally) really unfortunate :( I'd (generally) like to have tolerant discussions on views, but it's rare that people can do that. Where this generality can break is when the view is extreme enough that it undergoes a state change; as a friend puts it, "advocating genocide is not expressing an opinion"; although for me there's a step before that break that is "are you willing and able to discuss this as if you could be wrong."
Shoreline erosion is already concern for any waterfront property, and there are already devastating hurricanes and weather events they have to prepare for. From what I've seen, the owners of these properties are up to speed on the challenges the properties face. If there's damage, they repair it, it's just the cost of living next to the water.

> Voting with your wallet works.

But it doesn't, not in this case. Very few people want to manage a separate payment stream, and a separate login, for each content provider on the off chance that they might stumble across that provider's content. And those that do don't want to pay a flat rate for access to content that they might never stumble across in a given payment period.

My uncle used to give me a lot of grief for getting my music via bittorrent--but it was never about avoiding having to pay for content, it was about objecting to a monetization model (DRM) that was less convenient than its free alternatives. I started paying for music just as soon as Spotify made it easier to pay than it was to pirate.

Ads are the same way. I don't mind paying for my content, but blocking ads and circumventing paywalls is currently less work than the hassle of managing a fleet of flat rate subscriptions. Brave offers an alternative where you only have to move dollars once (buying BAT and funding your browser's wallet), and the money is thereafter distributed according to which content you spend more time viewing.

It solves a problem that no other "voting with your wallet" way currently does.

I'll confess that I'm not currently using brave that way, but it's only because they don't currently support a unified wallet across browsers. Once I have to manage just a single BAT balance, though, I intend to keep the shields up and the contributions flowing, and set up recurring transfers into the BAT wallet from my bank account.

I run a high spec machine with 3 browsers(Brave and Google Chrome, Firefox) 8-10 hours a day every work day. I respectfully completely disagree. I do not find it slow in comparison to the others, I do find it much much quicker on 90%+ sites.

I do not work for brave, mozilla, google or apple. I also have no stake in any of those companies nor do I know anyone that works for those companies. I really wonder how so many people in this thread can have a negative response when I personally have felt the complete opposite.

I do suspect it has something to do with employer bias.
So, now we can't trust text, images, videos, or audio. Any of them could be fake. What is left?
Fully agreed. Weird that they dropped it then picked it back up again, though I'm guessing it's because it was dropped pre-MS and picked up as a part of MS. It'd be interesting to see an old link announcing it being dropped as context.

Re: criticism 1, this is mostly true. However the fact that it's "not google" adds some privacy, or at least diffuses vulnerabilities.

Regarding criticism 2, you have to opt-in. Otherwise brave is just a browser with adblocking capabilities built-in.

I don't understand criticism 3, but then again I have just been using Brave without opting-in to the BAT portion so I'm out of the loop on that.

Regarding 4, why would Paypal be the best choice? Paypal has shown they will close your account and confiscate your money pretty much at their whim. Using a non-BTC/Ether crypto token at least means your Brave wallet isn't a big fat target for crypto thieves.

I think the success of patreon et al have shown that people in fact are perfectly willing to pay content creators, they just hate ads.

I use Brave on iOS with javascript blocked as it is the only* iOS browser which gives me the ability to easily use the Web without JS while giving me the ability to quickly enable it for the site where it makes sense, and still retain the ad blocking feature.

A surprisingly big part of the Internet works as well or better and faster with javascript disabled, but sometimes it is actually needed and useful so I find this whitelisting method works well.

I tried playing around with the script blocking ability of native content blockers but never got it working properly, for one I think it can't block script tags only externa scripts.

But my recommendation, if you are giving Brave a try is to change the default to disallow scripts, and enable them as needed, it's refreshing to browse the Web without Popups 2.0 and all the other not so nice uses of JS.

Yep, it's the high reliability & quality of the first party software (Safari, their office apps, notes, and so on), the excellent battery life (largely due to the software—run a browser other than Safari and watch that benefit take a huge hit), having a Unixy OS that's way less of a PITA on a laptop than Linux (ran it for years as my main OS, including on a Thinkpad, so yes, I'm familiar), and the touchpad that doesn't make me feel like I have to have a mouse to use the machine for more than five minutes, that keep me on board.

There were other things (good-enough port selection complementing the high battery life and good trackpad to mean I could just grab my laptop and go for nearly any situation, without taking anything else, being high among them) but they're gone now. It's basically the software and the trackpad keeping me around. I'd rather use a "worse" Macbook specs-wise than a Win10 or Linux laptop that's much better on paper, because the experience will still suck far less. Design, "thinness", trendiness, all that, don't give a shit. Give me a brick of a Thinkpad with an Apple trackpad, official macOS support, and a 20% lower price than a MBP at same specs, and I'll take that option in a heartbeat.
750 customers for an enterprise business is quite high. They are not counting Docker Hub customers which are probably in the tens of thousands.
I run a company with 20 remote team members. There's a weird perverse incentive to "show face" and be available when working remotely vs. making yourself unreachable so you can focus on things that matter.

We joined the Holopod beta to see if we could reduce the anxiety people had of being "away" without it being correlated with not working.

So far we like it. It helps people feel more comfortable being unreachable for a period of focused work. As a founder, I get a sense that it can help make people do the stuff that matters, vs. wasting time chatting on Slack.

We'd still like to see more features around supporting different time zones (we're spread across 9 time zones, so it can be easy for people further east to just keep working when getting pinged by people further west).

Then you have to pay for cloud processing. Owning your hardware is an investment that pays off more than ever now that things like Kubernetes’ resource provisioning can escalate costs to the stratosphere even when the nodes are not doing any real work.

I think my next Mac will be whatever laptop still has all of its keys and I’ll just keep building machines to run linux with a one-step Kubernetes solution for development clusters. Many people don’t want to assemble machines and that makes a beefy laptop running Minikube the easiest solution to dodge cloud costs outside of production.

Option 1. block all ads, publishers receive no revenue.

Option 2. block all ads, user opts in to unrelated ads, user can choose to give some of the proceeds of seeing those ads to publishers they utilize.

How can (2) possibly be worse than (1)?
I haven't used a laptop, desktop, or other computer (windows/mac/Linux) in the last 15 years in which I didn't immediately configure Caps-Lock to be control within 5-minutes of setting up the system. So, to some degree - it's always been control for me.

I'm working on this right now. Google's level of control over my ability to communicate online is really scary. If I lost my gmail account because of a perceived TOS violation I would lose access to many of my accounts, and have to go through a huge inconvenience of going to physical stores, calling during business hours and submitting ID, etc. to reset passwords.

If I had known back in 2002 what I know now about what Google would become I never would have joined the Gmail beta.

I haven't checked, but I imagine there's a "Metered connection mode" that limits things like auto-updates and perhaps loads lower resolution images. That could also disable bandwidth donation. You could also set the bandwidth to scale based on a speed test instead of a flat rate.
