A fun illustration of this with violin is this TwoSetViolin video [1] where they and 8 non-violinist musician friends play a game similar to "Telephone". They split into two teams each consisting of one of the TwoSetViolin violinists and 4 of the others.

Each round one of the violinists plays a simple melody for one non-violinist member of the other team. Then that person takes the violin and tries to play it for another non-violinist member of their team and so until the last non-violinist plays it for the violinist on their team. If the violinist can identify the piece their team gets a point.

I also have setup the server that grabs those recordings to sync with a VPS through Syncthing, along with an encryption key that the VPS doesn't know, so it only hosts an encrypted payload. If I need to retrieve the recording, I can simply add another host to the VPS and input the encryption key on the new host and it will grab everything decrypted.

The blogs contains lines like "fdsfdsfdsafsdafsda" (https://greenlines.pro/blog/best-bloomberg-terminal-alternat...) and "this is ana awesome peaece of softwa" https://greenlines.pro/blog/this-is-ana-awesome-peaece-of-so...

None of the links in the footer section work.

The pricing page contains "Lorem ipsum dolor" https://greenlines.pro/pricing

If the website is early and new, that's fine. But claiming 2000 companies trust the website or adding testimonials how "Chief Investment Officer & Consultant" is using the website every day looks very fake.
Did you know that security camera's have existed long before the cloud? Developed first, per wikipedia in 1927 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Closed-circuit_television

They are not a common vector for burgling.
I think this guy is being a bit pedantic. It is returning semi-consistent results for gibberish, which is interesting. Thats all the original poster meant.
> I know the "best" way to stop this kind of privacy violation is good consumer protection and privacy laws

But I don't want any of my data collected or shared!

The laws you are hoping for won't allow that - if they existed, at best they would only allow those companies to whom you have consented. Ie the mega-corporations. Local shops would be the ones without the data. Which would be pretty much exactly the opposite way I would choose to share my data, if I were forced to by law.
Worth a read: fairly comical.
Which programing language did you use to build it?
I didn't really look into the game itself yet, but if you allow me a suggestion, it would be to hire a translator for the description of the game in French, because the Google Translate is quite obvious :D
Exactly. It's the positive feedback loops we need to get rid of.
Of course we should be preventing wars.

We shouldn’t flood the region with weapons, nearly all of which explode on UKRAINIAN soil and kill UKRAINIAN civilians. Think about that fact. Instead, we should promote diplomacy BEFORE conflicts even begin.

It could have been prevented if USA and Britain supported Minsk I or II instead of undermining it while France and Germany tried to make it happen via the Normandy format summits. They went so far as to help far right nationalists in Ukraine, to prevent it. It is like Netanyahu not supporting Hamas and Fatah making a peace deal in 2014 because then they’d start to be united.

It could have been prevented if NATO welcomed Russia in 2001 into itself. Or decades ago if it didn’t reject USSR’s application to join NATO.

It could have been prevented if some federation like EU could have been established after the fall of the Soviet Union. It is unthinkable that New York would invade New Jersey, but that’s because of the Union. Lincoln fought a far bloodier civil war to preserve the union, and Gorbachev never did. In fact, it is likely that if the USSR stayed intact, it would have been quite liberal by now. Gorbachev’s perestroika and glasnost were well under way by 1991 when it collapsed, and that was 30 years ago. EU is far stronger and more peaceful as a union, USA also.

Tulsi, Ron Paul, and many others in USA straight out say the war could have been avoided if NATO honestly admitted that it won’t welcome Ukraine, and stop trying to antagonize Russia. But Tulsi is probably correct that the war hawks want this war, because it will bleed Russia dry just as Afghanistan war bled USSR dry. At the cost of a million civilian lives ! Would they have made this choice if the civilians were their own rather than 3000 miles away? Ask yourself that.

Here is Tulsi on Tucker saying it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=OF5oPNjMZw4

Here is Kim Iverson on Rising saying it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=11q9dir2Nts

Here is Hillary admitting it: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=AwpR6ngoSjQ

Hillary has been calling for no-fly zones with Russia in any country she could, since 2013. She hates Putin. She admits this ups the risk tremendously, and Biden calls it “WW3”, but the war hawk mentality is that we must lead everywhere and prevent anyone else from leading:

http://america.aljazeera.com/opinions/2015/12/hillary-clinto...

Obama had to brag about destroying Russia’s allies, in order to justify his “leadership” to the media. No, literally:

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=wib6cLJ99yY

With the prevailing cold war exceptionalism mentality like this, that persists to this day in mainstream media and politics of USA and Russia And China, is it a wonder that these smaller countries are all messed up by foreign meddling?
Yeah, my union blue collar friends have a retirement, the non-union ones not so much, hourly pay is massively different in trades like sheet metal workers, etc.

Unions were hard won on the blood of workers.
Every OSHA safety regulation the boss complains about costing him money has worker blood on it. It’s like electrical code, you may not like it, but adherence to it provides a market standard.

Workers made American industry great, not grifter CEOs who pretend to speak engineering, and don’t you forget it.

Your grandchildren called me the other day, by the way, so spare me the folksy veneer on anti-Americanism disguised as a work ethic.

No union? No way, Jose!
> it would be rather conspicuous in our neighborhood

It's funny. In my gentrified lower income hood (eastern edge of Bushwick) what is conspicuous is the high percentage count of high end and expensive (e.g. Maserati SUV!) cars. So you guys just need to move to a lower income bracket neighborhood and you can have your BMW.
what do you mean by "included in the pool"? is that a HN thing?
Real, solid, genuine, wonderful heartfelt congrats on shipping. I know how totally and deeply to-the-core satisfying it is to put a labor of love out into the world (and a bonus for it to get a positive reception), so I wish you all the best. I've followed on Steam to keep track of progress! (And when/if a Mac version emerges, I shall acquire).

Best of luck and rock on!
When I zoomed in, I felt only four in ten birds clearly had anything in their beaks, and in each case it looked like vegetable matter. In the original set, only one clearly has an insect in its beak.

Are there higher-resolution images to be had?
Location data is not required to use the app. You can just select No at the permissions prompt.

For me, the only options are "Allow only while using the app", "Ask every time", and "Don't allow". Background tracking isn't even an option.
Yes. I wonder who else has made obtuse statements like this who should be disqualified for any high level government position?
Turkey recently changed the spelling of their name / country for this reason.
From a quick scan of the paper, it seems the issue is not that the RL technique doesn't work (the chips do function) but that the claim that RL is just a really bad and inefficient way to do it. Key paragraph:

"We find that RePlAce [non AI] produces 26% better wirelength than RL [reinforcement learning] whilst using 5 orders of magnitude less computation"

If that's true then you can see why he criticized the Nature paper. It's not a small difference in performance. The classical techniques are just crushing the AI in this paper.
Not sure what that has to do with the current conversation but the Framework is only .2mm thicker than a macbook
Alternative epistemic agents for restaurant menus etc.
He Kwon'ed some folks.
“Addicts stealing is less of an issue and getting them help is easier in a system where users aren't criminals.”

I don’t think this is necessarily true, and especially not if one area decriminalizes drug possession while another nearby does not. At least that’s been my anecdotal experience in Oregon. Theft of all kinds is through the roof right now. Of course, it’s impossible to disentangle the current situation from the effects of COVID-19, but I see a lot fewer smashed shop windows in Vancouver Washington than I do in Portland.
Fair points though I suggest technology is farther along than monkey playing pong. Consider Neuralink for one. I read the book metaman back in the late 90s and even then they had very simple brain to chip interfaces.
Tim Hortons is everywhere in Canada and they used to be decent. The current owners are subsisting on brand recognition and market inertia.

Once enough negative associations form with the brand, it'll be the work of a generation to turn things around. Tracking user locations probably won't have a huge impact. Most people just don't care enough about privacy issues.

Tim Horton's real problem is that they are becoming known for bad coffee, bad donuts, and bad food, while similarly ubiquitous chains, like McDonalds, now have decent coffee and have added donuts to their menus. If I have to choose between a McDonalds burger and a microwaved chicken-finger with a shelf-stabilized tortilla wrapped around it from Tim Horton's, the choice is easy. Practically every truck-stop town that has a Tim Horton's also has a McDonald's very close by, so it really is just market inertia propping Tim Horton's up at this point.
Evidence of how they’re mostly better with wealth flowing out?
A quick rage-thread about credentials
Why do people use analogies to prove a point? It doesn't prove anything.

What was your point here? ML is like a guitar? What you said doesn't seem to contradict anything I said other then you find curve fitting interesting and I don't.

Not trying to be offensive here, don't take it the wrong way.

On a side note your music example also basically destroys the question of what is music? Well the answer to that question is that music is the set of all points on some sort of N-dimensional curve. The profoundness of the question is completely gone.
Be nice. And helpful. Generally when someone asks you for help on something, or when you are assigned to a project, that means they need help! Take the time to understand how it works, reason correctly about what needs to get done, be self-starting, and get the stuff done. Clearly communicate with others in your team and don't be afraid to use your supervisor to resolve problems that keep moving things forward. Be the guy that can get given something and sort it out - or start something new. Any work environment is very different from school - much to learn about the way things work.
Yes, but you can be stuck with the house for a very long time, all the while paying the taxes and repairs. And selling a house is a BIG hassle (plus a payment of 2-5% to the realtor). If you change your work (or your work changes you) and need to move, you may have to sell into a weak market and lose a lot of money. A good neighborhood can become bad, motown-style, etc. Foreclosings are a thing, especially in recessions.

If you walk from a loan, you lose your principal (and get a lifestyle penalty: future loans, future jobs, etc.). This is not nearly in the same league as selling a stock you no longer like.

> For housing, political force can be brought to bear.

Sorry, by whom? By a large group, maybe; after a few years of lobbying. By a homeowner hit with an unlucky spell -- forget it.
Since you read it all, can you tell me if there is anything in it aside from meaningless corporate platitudes? Is the expectation that more senior=more platitudes since nobody reads them and just looks at how long they are anyway?
That's my point. Those stories are specifically about the journey not the destination. You don't read long-form articles to ingest information, you read them for the flowery prose and turns of phrase and evocative mental imagery.

I've seen companies reduce top-performing sales people's commission because it was "costing too much money". So the good sales people left and the company didn't have that problem (of making lots of money) anymore.
This must be cohort-dependent.

For me, Marketplace buyers have flaked out more than Craigslist ones. Forums are less useful/dynamic than anonymous Reddit. And I don't even touch Messenger vs. numerous other chat apps.
I found a job as research software engineer (there was a thread about it here on HN yesterday) in a national research institute in New Zealand (NIWA). After some years I was paid by the institute to help maintain an Open Source tool used to run the numerical weather prediction models in UK/Au/NZ.

Now I am working on another workflow engine, CWL, used in life sciences and getting more popular. I find it a lot more enjoyable these types of projects used in research, where anyone can contribute via an open source community. My current work is sponsored by Curii in the USA.

The salary is definitely a lot less than FAANG's, but I stopped worrying about that a long time ago, and decided to focus on what I had fun and felt realized. There are lots of groups and companies looking for RSE's, you can find some in the Who's Hiring thread, some times, but ResearchGate and Google will probably give you a lot more options.

p.s.: if you get a job in a research institute, chances are that it is also related to government, so they might be able to sponsor your visa if you'd like to move somewhere else as well.
I suspect there are many more who never had the opportunity: As a start, I guess that most humans in history have been illiterate. More did not have access to publishers. First, before the printing press (~1475 in England), publishing more than your personal hand-written volume was very expensive - each copy hand-written. Also in most of the world, usually only those who were considered male, of a certain socio-economic class, and whose writing fit norms (not controversial in content, style, etc.), had access to publishing.
Ask HN: What's the name of that rubber coating crap, do you like it?
Hi, I don't throw away electronic equipment, I like to keep my old hardware in working condition to repurpose it for my projects. I got my old Nexus5 back from my storage room to repurpose it as SDR and, despite having stored it properly, with desiccant salt bags, in box, surrounded by two layers of pluriball, the rubber coat of the phone now is a nasty, sticky crap. I wasted time to completely remove that disgusting stuff using isopropyl alcohol, not having the proper solvent. This is a problem of a lot of electronic products , having that treatment with the only purpose, I guess, to obtain a better "look and feel" or to implement some kind of induced obsolescence reducing devices in perfect working condition a trap for flies. If you ask me, I'm sick and tired that my stuff literally decompose like corpses in my closets because someone think that nasty shit is cool. Youtube is full of peoples with the same problem, so I think it's time to say "enough". Anyway, what's the name of that stuff?
Ask HN: Can Google employees see the search histories of users?
I heard a story about a programmer searching for obscure keywords related to a specific programming language getting targeted on google for an ad about working at google.

This made me think. Can google employees see the search history of a user? How private is your search history? (before it expires based on whatever expiration length you picked)
Presuming too (it's hard to tell) that they mean 60 different types of containers. One of my clusters currently has ~311 containers, but that's mostly due to replication.

If I count actually different containers (like, unique PodSpecs, or so), that count drops to ≈30. Even that is "high", and from an architectural standpoint, it isn't really a number I'd use. E.g., we have a simple daemon, but it also has a cronjob associated with it. So it has "2" PodSpecs by that count. But architecturally I'd call it a single thing. How it implements itself, that's up to it.

A lot of our "unique PodSpec" count, too, comes from utility type things that do one thing, and do it well. Logging (which comes from our vendor) is 3 PodSpecs. Metrics is another 3. We have a network latency measurement (literally ping shoved into a container…): PodSpec. A thing that checks certs to ensure they don't expire: PodSpec. HTTP proxy (for SSRF avoidance): PodSpec. A tool that rotates out nodes so that their OSes can be patched: PodSpec. Let's Encrypt automation (a third party too): 3 PodSpecs … but hey, it does its job, and it's a third party tool, so what do I care, so long as it works the API between me and it suffices (and honestly, its logs are pretty good. When it has had problems, I've usually been able to discern why from the logs). DB backup. But most of these don't really add much conceptual overhead; any one is maybe tied (conceptually) to our applications, but not really to all the other utilities. (E.g., there isn't really coupling between, say, the cert renewer and the logging tooling.) A confused/new dev might need to have it explained to them what any of those given tools do, ofc., but … many of them you can just Google.

… in previous jobs where we didn't use Kubernetes, we mostly just ignored a lot of the tasks that these tools handle. E.g., reboot a VM for patches? It was a custom procedure, depending on VM, and what is running on that VM. You needed to understand that, determine what the implications were … etc. And the end result was that reboots just didn't happen. K8s abstracts that (in the form of PDBs, and readiness checks) and can thus automate it. (And ensure that new loads don't need TLC that … an app dev realistically isn't going to be given the time to give.)

If we needed a common thing on every node? That would be rough. We did finally get to having a common base VM image, but even them, all of the per-app VM images would need to be rebased on the newer one, and then all rolled out, and who/how would one even track that? And … in practice, it didn't happen.
Android too. On later versions of Android, background location access isn't even option unless the app explicitly requests it, and even then the user has to manually go into settings and enable it (the app can't trigger a prompt).

I am a bioinformatician with six years of experience in academic settings - areas I previously worked in include genome assembly and annotation, RNASeq analysis, and metagenomics. Sort-of relatedly, in the last few years I got increasingly big on gardening and subsistence agriculture - apart from doing a lot of work in the neighbourhood I live in, I am taking a permaculture design course, and I'm studying up on the areas of biology that I didn't pick up through my career in life sciences.

I am mostly looking for short-term work, and for unique opportunities. I take projects in the areas of data science, big data engineering, and machine learning, as well as in development of scientific software. If you have a permanent job that I might find really worth doing, or a startup idea that you think might resonate with me, please let me know!
I've noticed the opposite. My problem solving skills seem to have improved since 23+.
My main gripe with Handbrake is how annoying it is to trim a video. There's no preview of when the trim happens. And for some unknown reason it defaults to a chapter range rather than seconds or frames for trimming...
Not sure, but I think it was always like that, give or take. Niche databases solve specific cases, and there is always someone with an unusual requirement.
