Is there some law against them collecting your information from your friends without your consent? I'm not a lawyer, just an observer of how these sort of things regularly go, and I'm going to guess that what they did here was 100% legal.

Obviously this is morally abhorrent, but in the US the laws are written to protect large corporations like Twitter, not their victims.
Not sure which sources you are referring, but the lettering looks like the earliest Islamic calligraphy (Kufic script, which is beautiful) [1].

This is the word Allah in Kufic:

A number of issues with what you said:

- daycare (including fancy stuff like daycare on your work's campus where you can join your kid in between work activitie)s is a great idea that has already been tested

- it is perfectly reasonable for the extended family to help with child-rearing, especially in location where there is a history of that

- It seems crazy to me to suggest we change the ways we raise children, without suggesting changes to the ways careers progress. Even without my hippy suggestions about idealistic version of childcare, a comparatively trivial thing to do is to realign employee and employer incentives. And there are governments that do that successfully. This is why I am calling your comments "defeatist".

Stop projecting your view of the world on everyone: yes, your view is consistent and reasonable, if the homemaker is happy with the arangement, but it is not the only possible way to have a healthy family.
I'm very pleased to see optional chaining come with Chrome 80. It's been a language feature I've been wanting for a while and in combination with the nullish coalescing operator, setting defaults for undefined becomes a lot more elegant.

Firefox has the nullish coalescing operator which is great but I'm really hoping that optional chaining is being given some priority.
Money is limited and the government decides how to distribute it. The difference between spending it on B and taking it away from A is, to me, absolutely unsubstantial.
I think most ML models aren’t very “lean”, meaning there is space in their weight layers for information isn’t directly attributable to predictive accuracy. That space is likely where this new “radioactive” like data is being “stored”/“remembered”.

The leanness could be increased during training by progressively trimming width/depth of weights, but I doubt if every model has this done.
At some point we'll realize that privacy invasive policies are a huge security liability, right?
I have a company that runs Filemaker Pro databases for managing some parts. And they have considered using SAP recently.

How much product/inventory/sales/etc... processes is required before you should move from FMP to something like SAP?

Is it number of users, client accounts, employees, products? What is the break point for needing ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) software?
Understanding the Relationship Between APIs and Microservices
It doesn't make any sense to compare the GDP of a city to that of a country, especially a largely rural country. LA's GDP benefits from many large corporations which choose to headquarter there, not to mention one of the largest ports in the world. Why not compare to a US state with similar population, like Georgia, which has a GDP somewhere around 80% of Sweden's.
> the biggest one is db.r5.24xlarge with 48 cores and 768 gb ram. I imagine that can take you quite a long way--perhaps even into millions of users territory

That will run Stackoverflow's db by itself for reference, along with sensible caching (they're very read-heavy and cache like crazy). Here's their hardware for their SQL server for 2016:

2 Dell R720xd Servers featuring: Dual E5-2697v2 Processors (12 cores @2.7–3.5GHz each), 384 GB of RAM (24x 16 GB DIMMs), 1x Intel P3608 4 TB NVMe PCIe SSD (RAID 0, 2 controllers per card), 24x Intel 710 200 GB SATA SSDs (RAID 10), Dual 10 Gbps network (Intel X540/I350 NDC).

He's not wrong though. We know precisely how any given neural network works, it's just not understandable to us.

The point is though, the functions we're trying to learn, like image classifiers, have no responsibility to us to be understandable. In fact, the brightest minds of several generations have worked hard on trying to write down rules to do image classification, and they never came up with anything that works.

There is a huge space of functions that are beyond what a human can understand, where we can't write down rules to express the function. This is precisely where we need to use machine learning to find the functions. Lack of explainability is not a bug, the entire point of a neural nets is to find functions that are beyond what we can understand.
Seems like thoughts or ideas themselves are inherently not time reversible.
The way Steam handles the occasional hardware survey requests, which are purely opt-in, seems appropriate here. “Please select which applications you use your Wacom with” with a permanent opt-out checkbox would be quite acceptable. (Steam knows what games we play but not beyond that; Wacom must ask us to specify which apps we ‘play’ since the OS can’t be more specific.)

> I trust in democracy more than markets.

I don't. People vote against their best interests all the time. The SF housing market is self-inflicted from people voting against new housing, because many of them don't understand the concept of supply and demand.

Neither markets nor democracy are perfect, but at least free markets are efficient.
Yes, I agree with all of that.

I also don't think that allowing companies to externalize their costs (either implicitly or explicitly) is beneficial to society, and that is why I said that the regulatory environment needs to change in scenarios where that's not the case.
Oh, their DDoS protection was one of the reasons we were thinking about moving away from DO.

It is a public facing SaaS API which does not have much traffic in terms of requests, but would be catastrophic to be blackholed.
So its that bad?

Regarding hardware failures- have never experienced any so far, but guess it's just a question of when then.
That's so true. We are running SAP, which is so heavenly customized (someone 10 years ago thought it was a great idea, thanks!) that applying patches is nearly impossible and requires months of pain and expensive contractors.
Yeah, for normal web app, we can easily have 100x users for each step mentioned in article.

For our company, we had more than 500k users with 1 small nginx + 1 medium appServer(with autoscaling, though never needed it) + 1 small cache server and RDS till now. We just added a aws managed load balancer into the setup and think it might be overkill.

For a client with NewsFeed needs, I used a dedicated server(64GB, 2TB space) to run nginx, app, cache, huge elasticsearch and postgres. It was great(and cheap) option for an MVP and let them validate the product for few months with >10k users.

It was awesome to learn a few years ago, how much compute power we don't use.
Neither. One crucial thing changed: nuclear weapons can hurt leaders as much as they can hurt their armies or their populations. We've never had such experiment in the entire history. And oh boy aren't the results just fine.

In 1910 or 1930 going to war was a breeze. There was no incentive for major leaders not to do it.
According to multiple reports, the vote counts entered into app and sent were not what was received by HQ. How do we know that the company wasn't paid to change the numbers on the backend? How would the numbers change by themselves? I'll be called a tinfoil-hatter for assuming malice.
No, you got code clarity wrong. Code clarity in ABAP means using System Hungarian Notation and it baffles me that almost every ABAP programmer I talk to think it's not redudant to use a command such as READ TABLE on a variable called GT_VBAK(for non-abapers, G for global variable, T for table).

The only advantage that I see is that for the most part, every program will look almost the same regarding standard SAP tables.
Apple's preference for kernel-mediated containment is sandboxing, which is finer-grained and operates on applications as the unit. This is probably better aligned with their general focus on user-facing devices, although the granularity gets messy imo and overall the guarantees are weaker.

That link isn't about APIs, isn't about outlawing charging or quotas, and appears to just be about a preliminary injuction rather than a generally applicable ruling. So I'd argue that it doesn't in any way support your initial claim.
Any ice below sea-level will melt into water that will take up exactly the same amount of space. So any ice below sea-level that melts will not cause sea levels to rise.
I factory reset my phone so my lost my gauth 2fa for Twitter. I'm locked out now.

I cannot get Twitter to let me back in even though I can verify my email and phone SMS.

I didn't make a backup code because I assumed I could use email/SMS in this situation. It seems not.

So another smaller irony is that you cannot make valid use of your linked phone number that they nag you for.
Dang, I know and respect that you are trying your hardest, but I have believed for a while that you are simply online too much -- understandably -- and that you therefore sometimes confuse the social consensus of the extremely online extremely niche Hacker News for a well-adjusted consensus.

As for your critiques of the last paragraph, "autism" is a word coined from the Greek, literally meaning "self-ism" and is used both clinically and colloquially to refer to individuals that have difficulty recognizing important aspects of the social world around them. If you have a better word or even a better explanation than emotional autism for someone's inability to recognize male/female differences in human social interaction, I'd like to hear it.

Now, as far as brokenness goes, I'm sorry if people have been "activated" by such an opinion. But I've known too many people who preached a certain sort of sexually liberating personal philosophy for entirely selfish reasons to retract the judgement. If Hacker News can't handle this critique because it is too emotionally distressing to discuss calmly, maybe you should consider binning all gender-related discussion on this site.
Spam.

New York State runs a job board which is filled with crap job entries. Sometimes the job is supposedly in Syracuse, NY but when you talk to the recruiter, the job is in Atlanta.

As a dev I'd rather get jobs in an RSS feed or API and view and filter them with my own system. In fact, for the last two job searches I did, I did just that.
> Thirdly, the cost is not large. Businesses are already absorbing the lost productivity caused by the fathers being exhausted. This formalizes it.

In our project management course we learned a rule of thumb that for new parents you have ~25-30% less FTE available during the first year of the child's life (due to care for sick children, getting sick themselves, being exhausted from lack of sleep etc.)
When I hear "embedded ARM", I hear "Cortex M".

All of Cortex M is in-order and only M7-- still somewhat exotic-- has a real cache (silicon vendors often do some modest magic to conceal flash wait states, though).

Alignment requirements are modest and consequences are predictable. Etc.

About the most complicated performance management thing you get is the analysis of fighting over the memory with your DMA engine. And even that you can ignore if you're using a tightly coupled memory...
The thing with cache is that it's a performance cliff. The binary difference between stalling and not stalling can be massive. What looks like a tiny pedantic change can take you across that boundary and help you make efficient use of hardware resources and electrical power.
Has Dell fixed the coil whine of the CPU? I can hear it even with my ThinkPads, and I heard Dell was much worse.
"At least one distro" is not correct either. It's used by systemd-networkd, specifically.

I'm not really feeling the difference between counting and tallying, but even keeping that distinction, it still sounds to me like they're mostly not in the tally business for lack of performance. If they had performed, it would still be a conflict of interest, just one none of us would likely have heard about. I feel that doesn't make anything better.
A trick I found to stop this nonsense is, at least on iOS, answer yes to the Application's custom dialog to ask permission. This will then invoke the iOS security dialog where you can click "No" and never be asked again.

Generally what I see happening is apps will ask the user if it's okay, and only when the user says yes will they execute the necessary system call to request access. In iOS at least, if a user clicks No the app can never prompt for that permission ever again. Until the app makes this formal request to the operating system, it does not show up under privacy (as the app had never asked for it in the first place).
Most of your comment is flat-out false. That page shows current instantaneous sea level change; it doesn't show future predictions (except in, say, the paper linked at the bottom about predicted sea level change). Sea level rise is increasing each year and is projected to continue increasing faster each year, the rate dependent on how much CO2 we keep putting into the environment.

2m in sea level rise is roughly the current "intermediate" scenario, which would happen if the world made immediate and large reductions in CO2 emissions. That is, we're on track to be worse than that now.

Since I've seen this exact error on HN before (don't recall if it was you who made it or not): do you understand that giving the 2018 sea level rate change as "1.34 feet per 100 years" is NOT a prediction that the sea level will change 1.34 feet over the next hundred years?

That’s trivially easy to get around by installing you’re own CA cert when you install the driver.

This is arguably worse security wise but it makes the driver install process identical to the way it used to be as far as the average consumer can tell. This is why (IMO) free software is so important, to the point where I’ve begun to agree with the radicals and think it should be mandatory.
Limited liability is not indemnity.

Indemnity means that one party has to cover the other party's losses--in other words, pretty much the exact opposite of limited liability for the covering party.

Limited liability means that a party is not responsible for their business' debts beyond their investment in the business. Frequently, this means that no one is responsible for the businesses' debts if it fails. See for example, most environmental cleanup litigation or asbestos litigation.
You don't even need to edit the picture. All you need is just pick the right picture.

Just pick a few pictures where A1 was holding A2's hand, and where B1 was not holding B2's hand. Now you have a story.
Yes, he had mass purges. He also had famines caused by failed agricultural policies. (And he also had famines that seem to have been deliberately killing off groups that he disfavored.)

Claiming that he had mass purges doesn't change the fact that his failed agriculture policies were also deadly.
What is the point of a 40-pin connector when the spec sheet only indicates that two of them are used (exactly as one would expect for a battery)?
1) You can blend hydrogen with natural gas. To go 100% H2, you may need new pipes, but this isn't an insurmountable problem.

2) These sensors aren't that big. It'll probably be like fire alarms but for hydrogen if we go that route.

3) The gap is shrinking over time, as fuel cells and electrolyzers get better. Batteries are basically maxed out on efficient so they won't improve by much. Loosely spoken, the gap should shrink to about a 50% advantage for the EV in the long run. That means EVs may always make sense for short ranged trips, but for anything that needs big batteries the cost of the batteries probably will outweigh electricity savings.

4) If electrolyzers get really cheap this may not hold. I suspect that optimizing to 60-70% utilization is more than good enough.

5) Relative to the competition, it is tiny. We're subsidizing wind, photovoltaics, batteries, etc., to the tune of tens of billions, but for hydrogen it was in the hundreds of millions. Though this is starting to change as well speak as hydrogen is starting to get bigger subsidies.
I hope not. What we've seen so far with Google Stadia is not exciting to say the least. Sony has the right idea with focusing on home consoles, the market is just not mature yet. There is after all a world outside of the US, where not everyone has fast internet connections and unlimited bandwidth. It is disappointing to see Phil more or less announcing the Xbox's defeat over the console "wars".

Hmmm, that is a pretty different experience.

What version of Ubuntu are you running? Did you reinstall Ubuntu from scratch at some point? I'm on 19.10 stable and just run apt update && apt upgrade. I got a firmware update a couple weeks ago I think. No issues here.

Is TLP installed, running, and _configured_? You can take a look at my config file[1]. I really didn't change a whole lot from the default file. Also, I wouldn't copy and paste my file, but you can diff the two and try to make sure yours conforms closely and that might help. Do you have the 4k screen or the 1080p? I opted for the 1080p, because 4k will inevitably cost more battery life to drive all those pixels and I didn't feel the need for the 4k. If I run powertop[2] and check the tunables tab, there 2 things that say 'Bad' and the rest are good. One of them is something about VM writeback, which TLP actually sets to a more efficient value by default and another random one about a port that doesn't seem critical. Check out how many are 'Bad' on this list.

Tbh, I don't use multi-monitor support, because I have a desktop as well. But apparently there's some folks elsewhere in this thread that are running Arch without multi-monitor issues. Perhaps there's some patches you need to get things working properly?

I'm not sure what you mean about Dell updates failing. All updates should go through the "Software Updater" and for firmware the "Ubuntu Software" applications. There are no Dell specific repos for the anything beyond the last Ubuntu 18 LTS release as far as I can tell, but I haven't actually needed them so far. Make sure fwupd[3] is working. This is the software that handles your firmware updates and is the main important thing that should run when you open the "Ubuntu Software" application.

As far as I know I don't have any GLFW/GTK libs installed. Though I have a SWE background, my day job has been data scientist for the past couple years, so I'm mostly doing Python + ML on GCP with my personal machine, though I do have a working Rust dev environment setup.

So what, it must be true because if you don't think it's true, you're a racist?

This particular article points out a specific piece that apparently spells "Allah" only when viewed in a mirror, in a style that didn't exist for another 500 years, with a spelling error.

And no, it's not problematic if it were true. It's problematic that this is being passed as real archaeology when the methodology is extremely biased.
That is true, always has been and always will be true, regardless of where the coastline happens to be at the time :)
Same problem here. Resorted to keeping everything plain text after trying so many half-baked and sticky note taking apps that prevent your notes from being ported.

Thank you for this post. I read "10 Users: Split out the Database Layer" and about had an aneurysm.

I also work with fintech systems built upon .NET Core and have similar experiences regarding scaling of these solutions. You can get an incredible amount of throughput from a single box if you are careful with the technologies you use.

A single .NET Core web API process using Kestrel and whatever RDBMS (even SQLite) can absolutely devour requests in the <1 megabyte range. I would feel confident putting the largest customer we can imagine x10 on a single 16~32 core server for the solution we provide today. Obviously, if you are pushing any form of multimedia this starts to break down rapidly.

The note db file can be protected/encrypted by OS means.

This is definitely true. In fact, this can be exploited to extract sensitive/private attributes about the training data from the learned models. This may become an issue for, e.g., AI in healthcare.

Yes. That map shows entire counties in blue if any point in the county would be flooded.

For almost all of coastal California, you don't have to go very far inland until you're way above sea level. LA looks flat, but go three blocks inland from the beach in Venice and you're up a few meters. The California coast is the shelf of a mountain range.

Florida, though, does have real problems. Most of the state is barely above sea level. And Miami is on permeable rock; sea walls won't help.
