Actually, if I move to a new country, part of why I'm doing that is because it's better than my country, so their ideas/values are better than mine. So the adoption of these ideas/values will make me better.

I didn't really read it as them saying Corellium is the good guys. Certainly they want people to ignore any bad things Corellium does, but the point here is that this is just another bit of DMCA overreach, and regardless who the defendant is, we don't want further precedent set that legally locks up our devices and software from ourselves.
I got stuck on this problem a while ago. I was doing reinforcement learning and the environment needed to run in pypy to make it fast enough. I ended up using Pyro4 to bridge pypy (environment) and CPython (keras).

Probably the Sweden/Denmark one. I haven't seen stricter controls outside of that date range elsewhere.
Also lack of initiative by many 1st world countries, hopefully there will be plenty of new technologies developed in the coming years that reduce or capture carbon.

But with current developments this will be far too little too late and it will be a rough ride forward.
Their keyboards for Microsoft Surface Pros also make them interesting alternatives to Surface Book and Surface Laptop.
Did you read the Apple filing? They specifically claim that corellium patches their licensing mechanisms.

Perhaps they’re wrong, but I doubt that they’d lie.

My preferred method is a custom kernel build that does a few extra obfuscation steps before or after encryption on each data block. While you might find my key in ram, good luck decompiling my kernel module based on a bitrotted ramdump. Simply not storing the key contiguously unless there is an actual IO operation going in is a good start - scatter it around the heap so a simple search won't find it.

China is building more new coal power output than currently exists in the entire EU combined. There's no indication they plan to stop there and that doesn't count the coal plants their companies are building in the rest of Asia.

Adding renewables or nuclear while you massively increase your world-leading emissions output, won't actually improve anything.

Not an image search engine as much as whole governments but this rings eerily true.

AWS and Cloud computing are really hot topics and it's hard to get the right information by just reading around the web. Q&A websites are great if you can learn by asking isolated questions - how do I sum 2 columns in python pandas? - but terrible if you need systemic knowledge - how much will I have to pay if I migrate my 90's era "enterprise" BI on premise systems to AWS? I think that such "ebooks" written by credible professionals could easily charge $500 or $5000. I am not surprised this ebook is so successful because it provides systemic knowledge on a really valuable platform at a very reasonable price.

And by the way, the only other 2 paths you can take as a company to evaluate something like AWS are 1) trusting AWS tech sales; 2) trusting xyz consultant. On point 1 you clearly have a bias and even without the bias you could be talking to a company selling a technology that is a bad fit for you (like all those trying to do BI with a Cloudera stack). On point 2 you can find consultants expert in AWS or xyz tech stack, but it's harder to find professionals that know the technology of the present day AND also can make good guesses at where tech is going to be 5 years from now. On top of all consultants are paid to be confident and that's exactly what you should avoid, you should be selecting technology knowing that things might change.

That should tell you about the true nature of your motivation.

If you are only productive when you are unhappy, it likely means that you are trying to motivate yourself with negative thoughts and judging and compulsive feelings, it means you do productive things while using a stick to constantly keep yourself in fear of hitting yourself with it if you're not productive. If anything, this is the message the mushrooms are trying to tell you. But it is still up to you to change your patterns in response to that message.

Database Performance Tuning Made Easier by Machine Learning
1. Democratic institutions globally continue to be tested by rising populism and the spread of misinformation. Nationalism grows, powered by internet propaganda

2. Rising corporate concentration and market power, especially in internet technology, lead to noticeable increase in inequality without growing economy long-term (investors/employees in big tech reap all profits)

3. A minor social/technological movement for preserving information integrity / credentialing starts and is monetized by new companies

4. Universities continue the trend of being software engineer farms. Research funding continues to plateau

5. Video games / interactive digital experiences take off, especially social ones inspired by Fortnite. Someone creates a platform and a marketplace, makes developing and publishing games very, very, very easy, (easier than unity and unreal4) and begins reaping the reward

6. Hopefully, there is more wirelessly powered e-ink paper around. But I wouldn't bet on it yet. Science fiction

7. AI fizzles. Big Data mining and targeted digital business persists.

8. Cyberwarfare grows. Big tech accidentally becomes national security issue

9. GDPR comes to USA late in the decade, lagging way behind Europe. Major battle

10. Amazon grows even bigger. Beyond Meats/Impossible/equivalent become major food distributor, competing with Sysco

11. Pay by phone/mobile device takes off

12. Softbank-funded companies, suffer minor collapses. Uber, Lyft, shrink. Entire portfolio pulls back. Loss of many temporary/gig jobs. Enough economic footprint to cause minor dip in stock market. More private investment in safe startups. More corporate bonds? long-term investment continues to stagnate.

13. Generally not too much will change

The status quo in the region is that Iran is winning and the USA is not winning. Perhaps this is an attempt to provoke Iran into making errors, but I doubt that will happen.

I think not much will (visibly) happen. The USA will keep on not winning, because they don't have any Soleimanis. Have you heard American generals speak? It's all TED Talk level BS. Decadence is a powerful force.
I couldn't agree more with all of those, despite the fact that 3, 5, 7, 8 and 9 are incredibly frustrating and depressing. 10 is also bumming me out to a certain degree...
Interesting so on a die, there are area's which are more prone to faults and they are able to factor that into the design?

Though if there are known hotspots, wouldn't that point to the process node inducing them over silicon quality? Or is it a case of silicon production produces known hotspots that are predictable? FWIW, I'm currently learning towards process node over the silicon being the source of hotspots, given what I know about silicon production.

Normally they shift all your data a few hundred megabytes later in the drive so they can use the area at the start to store their "drivers" (ie. The software they encourage you to install on your PC to offer backups, encryption, cloud storage, antivirus, and other crapware of dubious value). Sometimes the casing firmware emulates a CD-ROM device and offers this data because the OS will autorun software from a CD. Then when the software is installed, it switches to hard disk mode to present your actual data.

The external drives which offer 'encryption' nearly all do it through software on the host PC and sometimes the drives built in encryption (did you know all modern hard drives can encrypt data before writing it to the platters? - nobody uses it because you can't tell if the drive really is encrypting your data or just pretending to).
thank you! this looks promising and should be useful in some cases! Good tool!

In general I have seen that if people are smart enough to get people to vote for them, they probably have smarts and leadership skills not dissimilar to business leaders. They very likely understand what encryption entails. They probably don't share your values on whether it's a good thing.

Show HN: BuzMap – Global Unified Transit Map
I have created a single map that lets you easily browse all bus, tram, metro, ferry and train routes. I’ve loaded some data from Europe, Israel and India. It's called BuzMap: Here is an update, there is a previous outline linked at the bottom

State of the BuzMap - http://buz-map.com

I have done significant work over the last 3 months to get BuzMap further towards a usable product and at least prove the scalability of the architecture and I hope a glimpse of where we can go with this.. I have what I think is a viable user interaction model. Upon touching or hovering over a section of the map you (should, see bugs below) get the longest service that runs through that part of the map highlighted on the map itself and an instance of its timetable in the margin. To move the mouse over to the margin or manipulate the map without crossing other lines and thus selecting them, click on the map to “hold” that route. Below the timetable should be all the other services that use that line. You can click on any of those and get that route highlighted and a timetable instance. Click back on the map to enable browsing of other routes. There is currently only one timetable instance.

I have yet to load any of the US, and there are lots of bugs still. You can read the rest of this update, and about the many bugs, why there's lots of areas still missing, and what the next steps are, here

Of course I have the option to not look up answers -- which I often don't -- but then you still mis out on idly pondering with a group of people.

Befeni | Remote/Thailand | Full-Time or Contractor | Full Stack Developer (PHP/JS)

We are a fast growing German startup that produces custom personalized shirts built to order in Thailand and then shipped to our customers abroad. At every step in the process, customers can keep track of their shirt through their phone and have input into their order.

Due to the explosive growth of our business, we are looking to hire a full stack developer to join our team either in Bangkok or to work remotely.

While we don't have AI/ML or Cryptocurrency problems - it does not mean there is a lack of challenging and interesting topics for you to get your teeth sunk into. You will be helping us automate and make every aspect of our business more efficient.

What we are looking for

* We are currently migrating from a legacy PHP application to a brand new system based on
* Laravel. Experience with PHP / Laravel is required.
* We are using VueJS on the front end so you should have experience writing fluent Javascript
* code using a modern JS framework like Vue/Angular/React.
* We use Docker but we need some help introducing CI, automated deployments and we are missing some dev-ops experience... do you have strong Linux chops and experience with AWS and other cloud hosting providers? Can you help us make our development workflow better?
* Lastly we are building out an agile team so we are looking for people who are not dogmatic about process but would like to help introduce best practices to a young and fresh team.

If you are looking to work remotely, we are open and welcoming of remote workers. As long as you can participate in planning sessions and are great at communicating, we have no problems where you are based. If you are living in Bangkok or would like to move to Thailand we can help with securing a visa and moving here.

To apply, please send me an introductory email to befeni.dev@gmail.com with some information about your background, where you are located, salary requirements and some way for me to assess your abilities (code samples, github, portfolio etc). I will then contact you to set up a Skype interview.

Presumably people are concerned because this may be the beginning of war.
1. Google and Facebook struggle to keep their power position and will be stripped down for many reasons. Microsoft and Amazon will capture the spoils of war becoming larger than they are today.

2. No AGI yet, but some AI companies will create overnight data-driven monopolies, same as Private Equity did on the '80s. These early companies will start as B2B consulting/services until they have enough data, experience, and models. Then they will stop servicing others and start disrupting every industry and vertical they could. Same as PE, it becomes an arms race that will eliminate any competition. To keep their power position, Data Science becomes an esoteric-obscure knowledge, spawning another "AI Winter".

3. We will see last-mile and self-driving operational for logistics purposes. Driving will become a privilege, only rich people would allow driving their cars (electric or gas). Others would need to use ride-sharing or public transit. Fewer Toyotas, more Bugatti.

4. There will be significant advances in research in many fields, technology leverage scientific output. But academia works (quantum) will not translate on real-world applications.

5. European Union as we know will disappear on the next economic recession, European countries will recover their historical relations while eastern countries will see a raise on nationalisms/violent uprises and never-ending migration crisis.

6. China will suffer their first economic recession, taking down the older elites and spawning a war for political control creating instability and broken the Belt and Road initiative. Russia will face another 1990-moment between powers and factions inside the country.

7. Offline will be the new wave. Online relations were no longer trusted or authentic. Back to the real world, real experiences, moments and friends. Ibiza is the center of the civilized world.

8. Extreme personalization of payments and lending, an era of rent-to-use, pay month-to-month, get an instant credit will go down to basic needs like water or toilet paper. Finance will extract value from all economy layers. Only rich people own things.

9. Global emissions and pollution will be reduced significative in rich countries thanks to advanced technologies (Switzerland, Germany ..etc). On the other side, people from Third-world countries will die because of pollution.

10. Flying Cars for Rich people. No Mars yet, but increased interest in space exploration.

Hello future me! I hope you did it well in this decade.
2020s will be the decade of medical breakthroughs especially via gene technology. Male baldness is still around. Life expectancy for the rich increase.

Economic inequality increases.

People getting more laid back.

A critical mass is getting fed up with bullshit jobs, major push for changing the 40 hour 955 work week.
1. Developer tools become more and more integrated, solutions become mainstream where everything is automated with your whole stack (DNS/domain, CI, Git repos, Scrum board, analytics, app/database etc) created in one click (already happening, I know). AWS buys Gitlab or Atlassian.

2. GCP fails on its goal in becoming as large as AWS/Azure

3. Data Science becomes as commonplace in software development as Agile methods, Git etc with easier to use tools (which require no actual knowledge how the math works)

4. In the developed countries electric vehicles achieve approximately 50% market share

5. Some great advancements in battery technology, which only still result to about 50% better energy density than as of now

6. Some new social media (a la Snapchat) rises, possibly based on VR or AR

7. VR & AR games become more mainstream, AR particularly with couple hit-games (perhaps similar to board games?)

8. No fusion power, and not that much progress in it

And my political predictions:

1. Africa becomes the new "China", a lot of manufacturing is transferred there

2. Africa also sees a steep increase in GDP in some countries which receive these new investments (eg Nigeria, Kenya, Ethiopia perhaps)

3. China rises in political power but falls short on becoming a true superpower, mainly due to lack of soft power (Chinese culture will stay as isolated as it's now). Also while becoming the absolute best in few key industries (electronical devices mainly), won't achieve similar success in other areas (software, cars)

4. The rest of the Balkans join EU (with maybe the exception of Albania), people continue complaining about EU but still nobody else other than Britain leaves the union

5. EU deepens its military co-operation, NATO decreases in importance mostly because of USA's erratic behaviour

6. A major proxy war is fought in Middle-East, yet again. Iran contests Saudi-Arabia's dominance. Saudi-Arabia fails to transition from oil to other industries

7. Global warming will create the strongest and the most devastating hurricane yet to hit US. Deniers will still fail to see any correlation between them

8. Global warming will also create mass starvation and desertification in Africa causing mass-migrations and thus pressure on the neighbouring countries and especially EU, with again populists getting votes with their anti-immigration rhetoric

9. Populists world-wide will gain a stronger foothold, even more having prime ministers in various EU countries (not just in Eastern Europe)

A bit conservative predictions, I know. But it's still only 10 years so any bolder predictions will probably fall short
