I’m a little confused as to what you’re trying to say. You start with

> It is a cultural problem and not a wealth problem.

But then go on to explain how providing an extra $10k a year to families would make a big difference in being able to educate their children.

You also make the assumption that most people can comfortably earn enough to pay for their own living expenses without children. US minimum wage is far below the US’s living wage, strongly suggesting that there are many people who struggle to feed themselves, never mind additional children.

Also there are plenty of families out there that don’t have two parents. Do you suggest we simply ignore them?
Interactivity is a base attribute of an ide, and not the first reason people use it; the context here is that using an ide doesn't define a good programmer. So being able to clicky click is what makes good programmers to you?
This same effect is in use through our email system. If you send heaps of email to each and every big provider (100 per day to even be registered by Microsoft's Outlook servers) then you can do something about no longer being sent to the spam folder automatically.

However if you're like Silent Bob and send out very few emails from your own self hosted server, you always get treated as though you're the next source of a major spam attack, despite having the same server and same email send rate for a decade.

As a dev I understand how this happens: it's all too easy to filter out the statistically insignificant. But we shouldn't.
The person writing the article went to the effort of obtaining this "exclusive" imagery, but didn't go to any effort to do any analysis: how many planes, which airlines, which models etc.
Yes I have historically found many doctors to not understand basic statistics, which has somewhat surprised me.
I find some of the limits weird https://www.digitalocean.com/docs/networking/vpc/

- VPC network ranges cannot overlap with the ranges of other networks in the same account. (Edit: Does this mean each VPC in the account has to have a non overlapping subnet?)

-Resources do not currently support multiple private network interfaces and cannot be placed in multiple VPC networks.

- Not being able to change the VPC connected to stuff without taking a snapshot
So any advantage to the casual user to set up your own server instead of using jitsi meet?

I'm not going to try to remove the screen, I'm sorry.

I don't mind turning screws, but I'm not going to mess with glass and glue and stuff. I'm clumsy and afraid I'll break something just by looking at it wrong. Especially on something that isn't mine.
I also get the DHL scam calls. Once I tried telling them that I was American and didn't speak Chinese (which is about the extent of my very rusty Mandarin knowledge) and it stopped the calls for a couple of months. That tactic did not work the second time around, though. :(
I see this with my own work. I maintain the Elasticsearch Learning to Rank plugin. People assume it's all magic machine learning. The reality is much of the work involves understanding Elasticsearch plugins, informed by machine learning that needs to happen. Oh and 50% of the work is support and fun things like Maven repos :)
Good for you. This is the part that I struggle the most, I quarantined for more almost a month and depression and anxiety kicks in the most when you are alone.
Are you sure that it's actually parodying Jay-Z? Is it making fun of Jay-Z?

Andeepfaked audiobook of a famous person reading a Brothers Grimm children's story is not obviously parody, and Jay-Z has a very well-known voice, and well known voices sell audiobooks nowadays. Just because you give it out for free doesn't make it fair use, either.

Second- no, parody is not explicitly excluded. It's one of several factors used to determine "fair use". Just because something is a parody doesn't mean it's automatically fair use, and the only way to get an explicit determination is to fight it in court.
How ACH works: A developer perspective – Part 1
Hi Gusto. I read the article that was posted by Edward Kim in 2014. How ACH works: a developer's perspective. Article mentioned this "For example, when a company runs payroll, we’ll use the ACH network to debit the company’s account to fund their employee’s pay." For using the ACH network for payroll payments: Which bank debits the client’s bank? Does Gusto's ODFI have permission from the client’s bank to debit the client's bank or does Gusto's ODFI initiate the ACH and the client's bank debits the client's bank account itself? Thank you for this clarification. Great article!
Agreed. These people own several urgent care clinics and are suffering financially. I don't understand how much they understand about how misleading they are being (they could be foolish enough to believe their own mistakes) but it is clear that they are suffering financially and are trying to figure out a way to stay afloat.
How can this not be intentional?
We just posted a new post about Lyrebird alternatives now that they've been bought: https://blog.replicastudios.com/lyrebird-alternatives/
In case of the "doomers", there are strong psychological elements at play. Lockdowns are not fun and have an obvious cost to the economy and to people. Lives and companies and future plans are being ruined at an astonishing rate.

In order to reconcile that, you have to justify the lockdowns, and one way of doing that is to shout from the top of your lungs that if we hadn't gone into lockdown, everyone would be dead, dead, dead.

The truth of the matter is probably incredibly complicated. Yes, some lockdown measures have an effect, but we don't actually know which ones are most effective, which measures gives us the best bang for the buck, and which measures are useless and therefore harmful in the long run.

So any places that have less severe lockdown measures than what the doomers are advocating, and that are seeing decent results at stopping the spread, those places are a threat to the doomer side of the argument, and therefore those places have to fail.

And that's on top of the fact that statistics is hard, and everyone is spouting bullshit every other way, myself included.
We don't buy anything from Amazon which will go in or on our bodies anymore due to the prevalence of fake items. As one of the other commenters said - we'd rather go to Target or Costco to pick up brand name items.
It can pick names from the name section, linking section, or import/export name, in that order of preference (see https://github.com/WebAssembly/wabt/blob/master/docs/decompi...). In the case of globals, the only way to name a global is thus if its imported or exported.
Same thing that turned me off. There’d have been lots of cool and useful integrations popping up “for free” all over the place if they’d written it in a good library/integration language. Good language for a daemon, bad language for the reference (so, for anything halfway complicated, usually only) implementation of something intended to become a foundational protocol.
I did not say that, not literally of course.
Whoa, this is weird: https://youtu.be/zIbXai0l174?t=344

What is with that plane in the middle? You can make out the Qantas kangaroo on the tail (normally white on red), but it's been painted out in red?
If I understand correctly, you train it live. So unless you knew what script they were going to give you, and had the words prerecorded in order, it would be hard to do. Sort of like a captcha with a timer?

I wonder if they also have signatures for famous voices they can blacklist.
> in which case the licenser gets pissy and says "nope". For no reason other than "I didn't think of that".

This is certainly not the intent that I had when choosing that license for the photos I published.

I saw what Virgin Mobile Australia did[1][2] by pulling CC-BY attributed photos from Flickr and that cemented my position on not wanting my photos to be used in advertising.

Baking bread using a sourdough starter instead of yeast; noodling about with NodeMCU (really fun and dirt cheap) and BBC Micro:Bit (really fun, not as cheap as NodeMCU but still pretty cheap, and really easy for younger people to get started with); and I've just started pencil sketching. I'm an absolute total beginner, but it's enjoyable.
We are saying the same thing. Literally in the sentence you quoted, I said the same ethical issues exist in deepfakes that exist in altered still images.

You were using terms like "chicken littles" then. I'm all for reading different viewpoints, but if you're going to throw around insults like "doomer", you're not likely to get a civilised discussion going.

Man, the comments on this thread on twitter are awful. People are actually upset that Twitter didn’t remove this tweet or ban Elon’s account.

What is the world coming to that people are so afraid of opinions that they don’t agree with?
I wonder why Google's decision-makers decided to censor stuff that doesn't follow WHO guidelines. Is it because they actually care about the mass of the population? Is it because they want to minimize the economic damage caused by the crisis? Is it because they're scared to get sick themselves? Is it because they want to avoid possible legal liability? Is it due to political pressure on them? Is it because they want to exploit the crisis for reasons of politics and social engineering? Some combination of the above?
Is this what they did to bring us the high resolution picture of a black hole? If not could that method be used by these hypothetical hubbles?
Great Summary
> When you have engineering team separate than

Which is the whole idea behind DevOps: to break down the barriers between development and deployment by focusing on rapid iteration to production by continuously integrating changes into that pipeline.

It's ironic that DevOps has become a specialty in and of itself. The idea is to get rid of separate teams, not create a new one!
Too tough huh? I guess they are not getting a passing grade then.
I am still not in agreement.

The proof that the usual definition is equivalent to the representation is fairly straightforward and easy, no matter which side you picked as the definition. And once the equivalence is established, all other proofs proceed naturally. It therefore matters a lot that we pick one as a definition and know which one we picked, but not so much which one we picked.

Now in fact the quotient definition is by far more interesting mathematically. There is also a clear foundational reason to prefer it, namely that you can easily construct and prove things about the rational numbers long before you construct the real numbers. However it is unlikely that anyone who is confused about the definition of a rational number has a clear understanding of how the reals are constructed, so that is not a particularly important consideration for them.

Furthermore the fact that foundational considerations argue for one construction over another has little bearing on what is pedagogically preferable. As a famous example, the easiest way to rigorously define logarithms is through the integral of 1/x. However explaining logarithms that way to someone who doesn't know them is a pedagogical disaster.
I agree, but I think this lesson needs qualification.

If you know how to diagnose a bad drive and replace it, don't buy an iMac. The vast majority of people would need to bring a broken computer into a repair shop to replace the drive, even if that computer were a PC with a highly accessible solid state drive. I won't ever buy a mac again, but it makes sense for some people to do so.
No, it edges closer to Youtube being a publisher that controls or curates the content that is available on their platform.
Yeah I wrote for a while in Courier New and it had a more 'work-in-progress' feeling as opposed to Times New Roman or even Avenir.
When are you going to have a datacenter in Brazil? We don't mind if we have to pay more than your listed prices for other locations. We know Brazil is more expensive. Just do it already.
Yeah, we're releasing our platform as open source soon too... kinda feel bad for these guys but it'll be tough to compete with platforms that have a larger open source following and plenty of end-users.
As I was discussing with 'gpderetta, it's complicated: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23002423. Depending on how the followup to the DR I mentioned goes, your call is somewhere between "illegal as this invokes undefined behavior" and "sending structs across the wire better not be an infoleak". We'll see where the standards people take this. (Personally, I'm of the opinion that reading padding should always give an unspecified value–that is, a read can give an arbitrary, possibly inconsistent but valid value for that byte, but copies of it would have a fixed value. Code in the wild that has historically not cared for standards compliance anyways, e.g. Linux, should get a GCC flag for "make my padding bits what I want them to be".)
of course i would. would you like to setup a call so i can tell you to your face in real life how absolutely morally repugnant and completely facile your ideas are?
Oh I agree! And it's funny when I run into DevOps teams with that are rebranded Ops teams :)
The entitled parents of HN aren’t going to like that comment, but it’s so damn true.
> Alex Jones, sure people disagree with him maybe Just some things or even everything he says but if you don’t agree with him, don’t watch his channel, don’t follow him

Alex Jones was successfully sued because of his videos and repeatedly warned. YouTube like any business has a right to legally protect themselves. If YT continues to host Jones's content they could be held legally liable. I'm no fan of YouTube but they're clearly in the right in Alex Jones's case.
The assumption that parents love and treat their children well is a quite a big assumption by homeschooling advocates.
Maybe if IPFS had started today they would have picked Rust.

Honestly I'm not sure why Go was picked specificall, but if you put things in the context of 5 years ago it doesn't seem a crazy choice.
Look at countries that actually have VAT. Germany for example has VAT at 19% rate, and it brings 6% of GDP to government budget. For Yang’s plan, he’d need more like 30% VAT. Of course this would be on top of already existing taxes.
> If it comes from large businesses, realistically they aren’t likely to pirate since it’s a legal risk to them

In that case, wouldn't a "free for personal use" license be sufficient? I know some software Oracle's VirtualBox, for example, implement something like this and it must work for them because they come down hard on supposed violators.
(Tecton CTO here) You’re absolutely right that ML projects can’t be solved with technology alone. Besides the right tooling, they also require process, organizational setup, buy-in from multiple stakeholders, etc. By itself, no technology will turn a company into an “ML-first” company. Both technology and organizational problems need to be solved.

A while back, we published a blog post that discusses how we approached these organizational challenges at Uber: https://eng.uber.com/scaling-michelangelo/. With Michelangelo, we found that the right tooling can both solve technical challenges and help with some organizational challenges. For example: If a standardized and centralized platform is the path of least resistance to get ML into production and solve your business problem, you get the organizational benefits of that centralization (governance/visibility/collaboration) along the way.
Claiming lack of funding is the "answer" to why public education falls short ignores a variety of issues.

Public education employs a rigid, inflexible curriculum focused on large scale standardization. Teachers unions ensure there are no performance evaluations for teachers; the only relevant metric is tenure. Teaching performance is dissociated from reward. Teachers also have expensive long term pensions which drag down balance sheets and create demands for even more funding.

Private school is able to avoid many of these issues, and charter schools are attempting to expand that model with government funding, although not without heady resistance from entrenched interests.
I guess we’ll have to agree to disagree. A reasonable person can read my posts with some nuance, but you seem determined to take the most absurd interpretation of my words while simultaneously putting words into my mouth. It’s not worth the effort to argue with someone like you.

Over a decade ago, I thought why would I ever need Best Buy and its overpriced HDMI cables. How can a business with all the liabilities of brick and mortar compete with new lean, online only business offering the best prices?

Got a letter in our letterbox the other day. It was purportedly from the real estate company that manages the apartment we live in. It said "Starting next month we would like you to change the bank account that you transfer money to". My wife was just going to do it because the letter looked legitimate and even seemed to have a stamp from the company (in Japan stamps are used instead of signatures). I stopped her and asked her to call the real estate company (using the number we already had on file) for confirmation. I pointed out that the stamp appeared to have been printed on the letter, not actually stamped. Indeed, it turns out to have been fraud. The real estate company had no idea about the letter.
At some point, I strongly suspect, Apple upgraded all their OS development employees to SSDs, and they just stopped caring about HD performance.

I don't know when that was exactly. 9-10 years ago or thereabouts? I just quite distinctly remember the experience of upgrading the OS, and straight away finding that the boot time had gone from 15 seconds to 1 minute :(

That was annoying back then, but I don't think it's a problem nowadays. Technology has moved on, just as it moved on from the floppy disk and the Pentium 3 and so on. If anything, mechanical hard drives are doing well to still be useful - the price/performance/capacity tradeoff remains decent! Just not decent enough to use one as your boot drive.
It very well could have been. As someone pointed out in another comment, these guys talk very strongly about how someones "opinions about the data" might change when they aren't getting a paycheck.

Good god it's hard to do this at a non-tech company. MLOps would be great, but we don't really have "Ops," just IT, since our main business is not software. And we don't have Dev either, so we don't have anyone to really emulate on the inside. Our data scientists are foremost analysts who can write some Python, they don't know OO or memory optimizations or anything. They've never used a bash prompt or know what one is. Management thought we could orchestrate this huge waterfall schedule for a project and now it's falling apart as we open each new box of surprises...

Right, but the cost of enforcement doesn't scale linearly with licence cost. If your median customer spends millions with you per year, you can afford to spend money on enforcement. If your median customer spends $10k/year, I don't see how you can compel them to submit to an audit, or how you can get positive ROI from enforcement activities.

This is one of the benefits of SaaS (for sellers).

If the stuff about the banjo ceo still being a bad person is true, then he deserves all that’s coming, but if it’s not and it’s just competitors or people with a personal bone to pick pilling on with fake stories then I actually feel sorry for the guy.

People deserve second chances. Particularly for the stuff they do before their brain fully develops at 25 or so.

If he ran away from a highly traumatic home at 15 and ended up with the wrong crowd until he matured, then broke all contact with them, reformed and never showed antisocial behavior again, for the next 20+ years. Instead become a contributing member of society to the point of managing a seemingly successful startup launch. If that’s the guy’s actual story then he truly deserves a second chance from society.
