> Apple has already set a precedent with China

There was a series in a British magazine, many years ago, where a journalist would ring up a restaurant asking for special treatment for a celebrity. So they'd ring up The Ivy or whatever and say "Look, Madonna is coming in, is it possible you can serve her kid some chips?". The gag was that when it was an A-lister, the restaurant would always bend over backwards for them, but when they rang up as Kerry Katona or something, the restaurant would give a stiffly worded response along the lines of "The Ivy only serves the highest in culinary quality, and Ms Katona should leave her kids at home".

Anyway, China is a gigantic, buoyant market with a huge and growing middle class who will be Apple consumers for a long time, and also a crucial part of Apple's manufacturing strategy. CCP ain't going anywhere fast.

Russia is a failing state, and anyone who aides and abets the regime is likely to be considered an enemy of the people in a few years time, let alone the reputational damage in other Western countries of supporting Putin's regime.
The title is a bit misleading (and doesn't match the linked article). This isn't about building an OCR engine, it's about using an existing one.
You need to do a market analysis yourself as developer tools are not my area of market expertise. As a general strategy, given this is a new tool you might want to start with just two dimensions/factors: introductory vs. long-term (to drive adoption), and consumer vs. enterprise.

For the purposes of answering your question in the short-term: you might end up with a perpetual license single-developer price knowing that this initial set of customers will be innovators and an "investment" that will be on your books for quite some time. You could even time or quota-limit if you're looking for a specific growth trajectory and initial burst of revenue.

Given that this is perpetual licensing (and again - you need to decide whether this will be for all versions forever, or limited to +K major versions), you need to balance 12-18month runway (cost-feature) planning against any margin you're hoping to generate (maybe none if you're aiming for ramen profitability).

Feel free to reach out if you want to discuss further.
“ Apple says it will add a 50 percent bonus on top of the standard payout for bugs found in beta software, which allows the company to nix the issue before the OS version goes public. It is also offering the same bonus for so-called "regression bugs"”

Quite interesting their treatment of beta. I would have thought reverse.
Actually asking, what are you trying to say? I'm interpreting this as airplanes don't have engines, but a jet turbine is still an engine, so you must mean something else?

If you do it in reverse then you are incentivising people to hoard the bugs until release.
Ask HN: What are some good resources for revising ML?
I've done some Machine Learning about a year and a half ago but I don't really remember many of the theoretical details (I've completed Andrew Ng's course and played with Tensorflow a little). What's a good way to get going again without wasting time on things I already now?

It's mostly diatonic accordions (and bandoneons, etc) in Latin music, but chromatic (including piano style accordions) also make their appearance.

No, they were destroyed. If the engines stalled mid-flight resulting in a crash, I would see your point, slightly.

It wasn’t the engines (Boeing doesn’t make engines). It was MCAS.
I wouldn't say this is "reinventing the wheel", it's more like applying the same design/architectural pattern to solve a common problem.
Some tools are better for some things than others. Our digital tools included.

An extreme example is the Simpsons episode where Homer buys a gun, and then when Lisa asks him to get her basketball down from the garage roof, he shoots it. It falls to the ground, deflated, and she says, with a sad irony, "thanks".
Pocket is not integrated with your bookmarks. For offline consultation, you need a separate app. Of course this app is not available on Linux, where you have to get some community provided tools.

Bookmark integration would mean one software, with the same UI, on every platform, and only one listing for your whole archive system.
Thanks for the feedback. Quick replies:

- The Linux packaging will be re-done from scratch (previous beta had completely re-done packaging for Windows and Mac, re-done Linux packaging coming in next beta) and I'll make sure all these get fixed.

- The license is displayed in the launcher screen (before you click "Enter BugJail"), but i'll make it also available online, good point, thanks.

- Redistributing Oracle JRE as part of BugJail package is done exactly according to their redistribution terms, no problems there.

- The reason for redistributing JRE has more to do with Windows and Mac, where 'marking it as dependency' is not an option. I'll reconsider how to do this when the Linux packaging is rewritten.

- Would AppImage packaging work for you? What distro do you use?

One thing that comes to mind is that women’s lives have changed so much from 1960s - 1990’s. Women having less children, getting married later and interring the workforce.

I’m not saying we need to move backwards. But we do need to find a new way forward. Perhaps the concept of full time work needs to change the most.
Close - it's gross inequality, not prosperity per se.

And thus studies find societies with less inequality are generally happier : ).
You are correct, which is why I think a bonus system would work better.

The problem with bonuses, is that they are very easy to abuse, and many corporations have incredibly rigid bonus systems that actually make it difficult to reward individual excellence.

I was just talking with a friend of mine a couple of days ago. He's a Director at a manufacturing plant, and is awesome.

He spent the last year, working 7 days a week, ten hours a day, to implement some new processes. The company is being put out to bid for sale, and his efforts doubled the price.

His efforts alone.

Doubled the price of the company.

He got a tiny raise, and all Directors get the same bonus, based on sales numbers (which weren't so good). Also, all Directors get the same percentage of equity.

I suspect that he may be seeing who else could use his talents...
It's not just that. It's about isolating the gullible from people who could protect them by posting refutations.
At least for me I feel like it sets an expectation.

I disagree.

Here is why.

Rather than someone just rambling on about something that might be just talking outloud and you miss what they think actually the difference is or that there is one.
People are specialists in their own fields, at the cost of larger values of "everything else" than we expect.

I've found that the mental model of focus is the epitome of unintuitivity (why does googling this this word only return 72 results?!).

Kind of skirts at the edges of the uncanny valley, almost....
I would argue its gross inequality more so than those technologies.

In other countries with less economic inequality I believe studies show more happiness and social cohesion.
What do you find hard to master in Python?
Good article. Shows the risks/difficulty in applying machine learning models in the wild. Also shows the more sober side of applying ML models, where a domain expert says "Yeah, I know, I didn't need an ML model to tell me that". ML models will make mistakes based on bias, but hopefully in the long run they will outperform humans.
Looking from the customer point of view, I would urge you to consider what value you are bringing with a subscription model. If I understand you correctly, you want to charge an ongoing subscription for a one time piece of software. It sounds like you’re not including updates or improvements, just a one off install.

My personal opinion is if I’m buying software designed to run on my own hardware with a one off install, I only want to pay once for it once. I don’t want a subscription. But I also don’t expect updates or infinite support.

If there is a subscription, I expect updates (bug fixes, new features, support for OS updates, etc). If the maintenance side has value to me, I’ll pay for that subscription.

One example is Solidworks. I pay a few thousand dollars for the “base product”. It’s mine to use forever. But I also pay a yearly service fee. That subscription gives me: software updates (new features and bug fixes), tech support, etc. I get value out of those things so I (gladly) pay for them.
Commodetized anti-consumers are exactly what you describe. Vapid shells of a 'message' who tend to be funded by wealthy external donors of some kind, be they spouse or the internet or whatever.

If you want to meet real anti-consumerists, they're not on the internet extolling their lifestyle. (yes, I know, no-true-scotsman and what-not).

They're busy surviving. Because they tend to be subsistence farming or very near to that. They may sell art at local fairs, or goods at local produce stands. But mostly they spend their time just trying to get by.

It's just like the 'homesteading' and 'van-living' movements. The people who are actually living those lives, and who aren't just doing it for validation on the internet aren't posting updates daily about their cute new milk goats or whatever, because they're super busy not dying and just trying to get by.

If these became a viable commercial product, I imagine power companies would be some of the customers then. Installing them at substations and the like to help smooth out demand peaks and valleys.
And not a mention of the Bloomberg Terminal spying scandal using privileged information. NY Post broke the story in 2013: https://nypost.com/2013/05/10/goldman-outs-bloomberg-snoops/

"a Bloomberg reporter asked a Goldman executive if a partner at the bank had recently left the firm — noting casually that he hadn’t logged into his Bloomberg terminal in some time"

This is basically access to analytics. From a now-missing huffpo piece: "reporters were able to access a few different kinds of data that are not available to other terminal users. These included the ability to see how often customers had logged onto terminals and the ability to track some of their activities. They could see how many times in a month a client had entered specific commands on a terminal to, for example, look at information about foreign currencies or pull up economic indicators."

And why: "With these tools, Bloomberg reporters could keep loose tabs on terminal users, which include government officials and high-profile investors and traders. Though the tools were limited, they were potentially useful enough to give reporters leads to news scoops — the ultimate goal at an organization that prides itself on its news-breaking abilities."

That one's not common in food in the US, either. A lot more "odd" ingredients are widely available now than used to be in the US, so you can find it without too much trouble, but it's still not something most are familiar with. I cook a fair bit and I've only used it because I decided to try making Breton buckwheat crêpes, and I'm sure I could find other ways to use it but I'd have to go out of my way to do so. Wouldn't be surprised if it's present in a couple regional US cuisines in a minor way (cajun?) but it's not something most people eat regularly, if at all.
Considering some of the confidential things that have accidentally leaked into the public sphere in the last few years, I think it's fairly safe to assume at this point that US/Western government(s) and tech firms have a fairly collaborative relationship.

Some people even suggest [0] this relationship extends into strategic, multi-domain operations, but since such ideas are obviously conspiracy theories (and therefore conclusively false, as per the epistemically infallible Occam's Razor technique), they should be considered only for their entertainment value.

Common good and individual freedoms are often opposed, as it's very unlikely for us to succeed in taming just the destructive sides of human passions, without taking away a bit of creative and positive passions and freedoms too. Societies always oscillate between the two, and unfortunately it seems that we're now past the first half and in the phase where people get scared into giving away individual freedoms in exchange for more safety and sense of control.

You are discounting the very thing that makes it important: the fact that it is directly beholden to the law.

If the government controlled the entire email system, like they do the USPS, it wouldn’t be email as you know it today.

But as email stands today, it relies on the voluntary cooperation of third-parties who operate on a best-effort basis. It has no governance.

That’s a show stopper, not only for the US government, but for most governments around the world. I’m not aware of any country that has found it reasonable to do as you’re suggesting. Even Estonia, which has online elections, still finds it prudent to have a national mail service.

What you are describing has only been my experience in suburbia. Major cities are a lot more walkable as far as getting to a grocery store or convenience shop or whatever. I'm currently in Chicago and the entire city has a grid layout, no weird U shaped routes anywhere and every street has a sidewalk for pedestrians.

Are mice considered an effective model for autism? My understanding is we still don't know the exact mechanism of action of autism. Heck, there could be many different mechanisms, and we're lumping people with different underlying conditions into a single category because the symptoms line up. So our model of autism is entirely based on behavior. But if the mechanism of action in these mice is different from humans, you can't make any real predictions about how to treat/manage it.
To be clear, "pressurizing" is part of the "firing" process. It occurs ~200ms prior to ignition. It is not a step that would happen during every launch. It would only happen if the SuperDracos were fired (in an abort scenario).

This was a serious flaw in a critical system, and the redesign was very important. It also advances the state of the art in engineering in these sorts of systems... the failure that took place was something that no one considered possible (specifically the Ti/NTO reaction).

I was just responding to the fact that you mentioned the capsule had visited the ISS, which is totally irrelevant to the failure.
That's funny. I've also never seen one of those until I came to the US. Also, sometimes while I wait for the elevator I stop to think if the algorithms that power elevators are complex or not. I didn't know some companies ask that question during interviews. Now for sure I'll do some research on it.

Good idea but poor execution. Asking for 1,500kcal over two meals, I was presented with tomato & onion on toast and an apple for breakfast, and tuna salad & avocado plus a bowl of carrots for lunch.

You pay quite a bit extra for peanut butter without sugar or corn syrup as the second listed ingredient, in the US, and have to look around a bit to find it on the shelves that are 95%+ full of peanut+sugar butter. That's "normal" peanut butter here and lots of folks will wonder WTF you're feeding them if you sub in "real" peanut butter (it tastes quite a bit different and the consistency's different)
> Having used Bloomberg for nearly 10 years, not only for the front-end but the back-end API

Maybe you know the answer to a question I’ve been asking for years: is there any way to authenticate the data you receive over the API? Bloomberg requires credentials to prove you have a subscription but I’ve long wondered about the security/integrity of the data flowing the other direction. What mechanism stops a bad actor from slightly altering or delaying Bloomberg API data as a way to manipulate the markets?
I love this idea, but I think it needs a little work... maybe something that helps it avoid combining foods that are too similar into the same meal?

For breakfast, it keeps suggesting I eat a "high protein omelet" and 4 hard boiled eggs. That's a lot of egg in one meal. I don't want an omelet AND boiled eggs at the same time.
Completely missing the categorical perspective here. Where are the functor laws? Additionally, we're missing the functors which aren't containers, like continuation-oriented functors, or which have monoidal summaries rather than mapping every point.

Elm was a terrible choice for an ML with which to illustrate functors. Something like OCaml or Haskell, where polymorphic abstractions are available, would have been a better choice. JS is right out. I don't know what this is supposed to teach, but the poor choice of language perverts it. (On the other hand, I wonder to what degree the poor choice of language is related to the idea that this post is actually bitten, ripped off from many other community posts, including ones with pictures and categorical ideas.

>Perhaps the concept of full time work needs to change the most.

This. We're at a point where many jobs could be done in 15-20 hours a week, but we require everyone to punch in and out like it's a factory.

I live in flyover country, and work in higher education. I have exempt staff. Some weeks they have 2 hours worth of work, some weeks they have 70. But, because the cultural norm is that you can't be productive unless you're filling seats from 8-5, they waste 38 hours some weeks, and don't meet the requirements of the extra 30 others.

It's just outrageous, and I don't understand it. This is 2020. It's the real future now. Let's grow up as a society.
Actually, the 20 million events per second is the real event count, and on top of that comes processing..
>If we were not on an anonymous website, we would probably not start the conversation with “I disagree.”.

This reminds me of an Abraham Lincoln story (I think I read it in How to Win Friends and Influence People)...anyway Lincoln used to pen anonymous writings attacking people, and in one instance he was found out and challenged to a duel. The men squared off with long swords but called a truce prior to the start...Lincoln never penned a negative thing about a person again.
The Java community is quite vibrant. It is just that nearly everyone has moved onto Intellij. There are still people who use Eclipse however. I know a lot of Java developers and no one uses Netbeans.

Maybe I’ve been duped. I’d be curious if your comment is based on different research, or personal experience.
This is a little aside from the topic at hand but do you have any links or literature to expound on the 90s media blitz you mention? I was born in 87 and so grew up with only a faint impression of the 80s through what was lingering into the 90s. From talking to people older than me and looking at various media I can't help feeling like society took a hard turn in the 80s and through-out the 90s to where we are today. I've largely thought that it was due to a combination of technology and corporations/consumerism but I've never read or heard anyone else make that link until your comment.
