Extensible effects are easier to compose in arbitrary ways. If you have a monad transformer stack you can only have each type of transformer once in each stack before you have to start using lift . lift . lift to get to the inner layers as the type class functions will only get you to the outermost instance.

They suffer from performance problems though as Roman discovered at ZuriHac this year: http://ro-che.info/articles/2014-06-14-extensible-effects-fa...

I find that if I think of military/intelligence project names as being in part a form of marketing for which I am not the target demographic, and then imagine the sorts of people who are in that demographic, they make a whole lot more sense.
Of course. But that is nothing "to be fair" about.

It's wrong to do so if you're a teenage hacker who just discovered scripting, and it's wrong to do so if you're a government.

And the latter is IMO much worse than some teenage kid playing around because of scale, impact, accountability and the fact that, in a "democracy", the government should be influenced by the people and not the other way around.

"Bandit Algorithms are the next generation of A/B testing. BayesianWitch is a cloud service which uses Bandit Algorithms to increase engagement and clicks on your blog. BayesianWitch is aimed at using Bandit Algorithms to optimize each of your posts individually. Bandit Algorithms are better than A/B testing for transient content - i.e., a single blog post. The reason is that A/B tests attempt to determine the one right answer, whereas Bandit Algorithms simply try to increase the number of clicks. As a result, Bandit Algorithms can increase your performance with fewer clicks than A/B testing."

I think they mean things like artifical visitor inflation. For example, to make a Youtube video "viral" they could seed it with 30,000 fake views. Or, perhaps, they could mass upvote certain HN threads as soon as they're posted...

Remember that intelligence agencies generally care more about exploitation (figuratively) and manipulation than attack.

At 15cm resolution, I'd say that the high resolution imagery is arial photographs.

Satellite imagery doesn't get much better than 0.5m because of physics and govmint[1].

Sxfh refers to skybox. They are very exciting, offering satellite video feeds. It's important to note that they don't offer global live coverage - as the satellite flys over the globe, you get a 'strip' of video. So at a given location, you get a very short period of video, and then the satellite has moved on and nothing until another one flies over.

To me, drones or balloons would be the only candidates for providing ubiquitous video coverage of a city for instance (see NPR documentary last year), but even then, cloud is an issue.

I tend to wonder if the best way of observing a city would be to fuse radar from multiple satellites to build a live, cloud immune 3D model of the city surface.

[1]GeoEye hope to achieve 0.34m with GeoEye-2, but will probably only be allowed to release it at 0.5m.

> Frameworks tell the programmer "I've divided your problem for you; just put this kind of thing here and those other things there in those special files in this particular folder" and that somehow is supposed to make it easier for others to join a project

Well, let's be honest - it kind of does make it easier. If I'm joining a Rails team, say, I can skim a project pretty quickly using body-memory knowledge of where stuff is likely to be.

Additionally, I can rely on the assumption that certain common tasks will be abstracted in well-known common ways. I'm not typically going to have to learn a new way to draw URL routes, or run-of-the-mill database queries.

I agree that this is inevitably "to the detriment of properly modelling the problem domain", but it's a real trade-off, not an illusion. Doing things, for example, in 'the rails way' makes parts of your life easier, and the judgement call is whether it makes them more easier than it makes other parts harder. Such is the nature of our line of work (and most others, come to think of it).

Certainly the framework-monolith is not as fashionable now as it once was; but that's hardly surprising, since domains change as well as libraries and frameworks.

They're statistically meaningless due to their skewed and self selecting nature but that's different to worthless.

In scrum you are traditionally not meant to give time based estimates(it doesn't work). You use story points. Humans are bad at time estimates, everyone is.

Using story points, you measure how complex a story is, rather than time. A small spelling change, vs massive re-architecture. You do things in general abstract terms, rather than hard deadline, where you get fired if you don't meet it.

A added advantage of story points is that is abstract, it doesn't care if you 6 hours out. So you don't feel pressured to lower it.

You then look at previous sprints and see how many large/small tasks you can complete in a sprint.

A lot companies try to use time estimates to increase productivity, and get developers commit to releasing by a certain date. It doesn't work, it leads to rushed buggy code.

Its sounds like company is one that doesn't really understand agile/scrum, and is trying to use estimates as a whip to get you to work faster.

Companies need to stop using time estimates as a whip, and focus more on methods that are actually generally accurate, and provide useful information for planning.

Ask HN: Would you incorporate a technology accelerator into your startup?
I am running a slightly new concept of accelerator where we provide the acceleration on the technology and product development side, instead of networking, funding opportunities, mentoring, etc.

Thanks a lot, feel free to give it a try!
The strict distinction between "anatomy" and "physiology" in medicine, with the former not including description of function but only structure, is also fairly recent, with older texts frequently using "anatomy" in a broader sense of "let's look inside and see what parts this has and what they do". The borrowing of that sense for the non-medical context happened before usage in medicine became more technical and specific, so more recent developments in medical jargon haven't changed the more generally understood meaning of the English word.

In any case, it's an established English word with a well-understood non-medical meaning that goes back really far in this sense, at least to the early 17th century, with John Donne's An Anatomy of the World (1611) and Robert Burton's The Anatomy of Melancholy (1622).

I think the best way to do this currently is to select the categories of packages and then choose a "Full Install" (the warning that it will install almost 8GB of software is a little confusing as it only installs what was selected on the previous screen).

I think you can do quite a bit with just the A, AP and D sets.

While reading their FAQ I thought of that, and if the API is open sourced or reverse-engineered, it shouldn't be too difficult to write a smartphone application which would act as a relay between to goTenna and the phone network (for instance if the relay-phone receives on the goTenna a message from A saying "SMS <num> foo bar" it could relay the "A says: foo bar" via SMS to <num>.

Melinda Gates is a Catholic and for years the Gates Foundation explicitly did not fund abortions for this reason. It took years of involvement with development work and exposure to the lives of women in the poor world for her to move from "absolutely against" to her current position of ambivalent support. Note that Gates Foundation money is still not permitted to be earmarked to fund abortions, but they will now fund organisations that work on contraception and reproductive health even if those organisations also carry out abortions.

I neither know nor care whether they are the world's largest funders of abortion, although that link only says that they gave money to Planned Parenthood for work other than abortions.

What is commonly called a DoS tool
Slackware is awesome and I spend more time with it (much more time actually) than with my girlfriend.

I've tried other distros like Open Suse and Ubuntu but they weren't for me. I don't need all the overhead to do simple thing that can be done by editing a text file. (Mint is pretty nice though... I install it sometimes for friends and family members).

I appreciate the effort behind apt-get type package mangers, but often they often aren't up to date. With a slack build I get the latest source and know exactly what I am getting rather than installing some mysterious black box binary. Sure, apt-get might save 5 minutes but I'd rather spend the 5 minutes and do it right. Just my personal fetish.

If you are new to Slack or Linux in general I recommend trying Slax or Porteus. Since they are live, you can change whatever you want and experiment, and just restart your machine when you inevitably bork something. This is how I came to Slackware in the first place. I needed a live distro for a kiosk I was building (was an Open Suse user at the time) and started taking apart and re-assembling Slax. Eventually the light went off in my head and I saw the beauty of simplicity and have never looked back.

Selling information, licences and services is different from physical goods but its still called selling. If you deliberately treat this too simplistically then yes, you won't be able empathise with people's discomfort with Google's business model. I'm sure you do actually appreciate how information services have this weird sort of transitivity.

The drone strike is not chosen for emotion but because it shares the targeting concept. If the mobile network didn't know your location, they cannot sell the service. If they do know your location they can. The difference between these two cases is the latter service includes, in some fashion, your location.

Is your location being sold to your enemy? You can argue the terminology but if you look at the consequences, your enemy has attacked you in your secret location because they bought something from the mobile network company.
No they're not.

There are some online pollsters such as YouGov who predict significant outcomes with quite good accuracy. We're not talking about vBulletin polls or anything here - their entire business is polls. They also monitor the trends and opinions of people towards products, political parties and other things.

Technically you could ruin a brand or political party by doing a pre-election poll, quoting the stats on newsnight and demotivating the voters into voting for another party to avoid wasting their vote. This does happen. It wouldn't surprise me if cash changed hands here and there to make it happen.

If GCHQ got at the dataset or manipulated it with shill accounts at the pollsters then they could have significant power over the measure of public opinion.

Xiaomi Mi 4 Price and Specifications Leaked Ahead of Its July 22 Launch
I've upvoted your comment despite disagreeing with it, because I'm sure many people feel the same way and I understand why.

Over the last 20 years, the real disposable income of Americans and people in the wealthiest Western European countries has decreased or stayed the same, and claims that the world is much better than it was are difficult to swallow if that's your context.

However, the percentage of the world's population that is desperately poor has significantly decreased, famine is much rarer, infant mortality and child morbidity is way down.

You say it must be nice to be a billionaire, I say it must be nice to be a citizen of one of the world's wealthiest countries. To someone starving to death, or someone who has lost 3 out of 7 children in infancy, the lifestyle of a middle class Englishman or American must be scarcely distinguishable from that of Bill Gates.

After all, our children don't routinely die, we always have enough to eat, we have shelter, we're not in a war zone. Yeah, unlike BG, we're not flying anywhere in a private jet but that must seem like a paltry distinction to someone trying to live through a famine.

Wow this amazing. It even works (to an extent) for non games (not sure what is the limiting factor).

So with this you can profile pretty much any applications performance. As far as FPS it even shows what was on the screen for any given data point. I have to imagine there is some overhead that has to be taken into consideration, but still awesome.
