Whilst not 'official' meeting minutes, for a personal record I jot down mind maps (generally on a tablet), however I know a few people that love these: http://www.livescribe.com/ for keeping a record.

Also, text to speech is text to speech. It's a pretty challenging problem with a single speaker and no room acoustics to worry about (headset mic) throw in a number of speakers and other sound sources and things get interesting. Even in courtroom environments where you have discreet audio feeds from each party AFAIK most places still use humans to create transcripts.
I don't understand why you would go through all of this effort...

Just dump the data into a file:

curl > foobar

Read the file using any number of normal utilities

vim foobar

cat foobar

nano foobar

less foobar

Then if you like what you see execute the file

sh foobar

I guess that at this level "shockwave" is more correct than "sound"
The main problem is that the internal buffer size for OpenSSH is limited to 2MB (actually it's closer to 1.25MB in real world terms). This is pretty good for a lot of home users. However, HPN-SSH was written for the HPC communuity where we have have BDPs of well more than that (8MB is not uncommon). So if you have a BDP of more than 2MB HPN-SSH is still going to be a win for you.

Assuming it was powerful enough to get there, you would hear it.

At the antipode you would feel an identical pressure wave from both side. This would manifest as compression which you would feel since you are compressible.

A flag would not move in either direction (i.e. the wave is canceled out), but there would still be a compression wave in it.

LTE Direct is more about service discovery than data transfer.

As for mesh networking, it's hard. Routing becomes extremely complicated, especially when you're talking about mobile nodes. I used to work on protocol design for cognitive radios, where you have the added complexity of not having guaranteed spectrum. Mesh networks have certain advantages there,[1] but when we moved to a base station model things got exponentially simpler.

Distributed mesh networks are interesting in theory, but you have to be willing to pay a huge tax in terms of overhead and complexity.

[1] Say you have two nodes that, locally, never have common channels available. If you had a third node that shared at least one common channel with each, you could have it flip between the common channels to route data between nodes that otherwise can't talk to each other.

Recognizing that an opinion is not objective fact does not preclude making an argument for it. (If it did, there would be very little discussion in general.)

My argument is that I believe using descriptive words, even if they are longer, usually makes concepts easier to understand while reading than using either terser words that are less descriptive or symbols that are not in common use. That's not fact, but it's different than just saying "I don't like X".
Any reason this is not showing up in the App Store Updates page? (sorry, I'm still getting my head around OS X...)

There's some good work being done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sterile_insect_technique – the current trials happening work by genetically engineer mosquitoes so they can't produce a certain protein that is important at the larval stage. They raise a bunch of mosquitoes, giving them the necessary protein (that they can't find in the wild), then sort out only the male mosquitoes, and release them in large numbers. The GM male mosquitoes overwhelm the normal mosquitoes in the area, but all their offspring will die. Seems like the big trials are all happening in Brazil (e.g., http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn25457-brazil-approves-...)

It's done on a per-species basis of course, and they are targeting only the mosquitoes that spread disease. The worst species are often invasive species anyway, and aren't the only blood-sucking mosquito in these areas. So while it's a tool that could potentially be used to eliminate mosquitoes generally, that's not how it is being used now.

But a system where students brought their own outside accounts would have all sorts of other complexities; in fact, I think they would add up to a greater overall workload. Similarly, the alternative would come with its own set of costs, and the fact that schools are expected to sign up for this service, and that they're generally not run by stupid people, would suggest to me that the overall total cost of ownership, including the fees Google charges, would be less than doing it the other way.

Cool data, but your charts are absolutely horrible

1) Try to pick more different colors. Choosing two different shades of pink, of grey and of cyan to represent unrelated things makes zero sense.

2) The sellers-by-country map is completely unreadable, it's just very slight variations of the shades of pink. Italy looks almost as pink as Canada, but it's 16 times less active.

My guess is that gmail is using a linear classifier. Both because of the scale of the data, and because up until very recently linear classifiers have been state of the art on text classification.

In the few cases where NN have achieved new state of the art on text, the stanford sentiment analysis work and a few more recent works, a full sentence parse is needed. Sentence parses do achieve 95% accuracy, but only on well structured text in a given domain. Plus, they are hugely time intensive compared to the large scale linear classifiers like vowpal wabbit or sophia-ml.

Regarding perceptrons, a basic perceptron, although it is a linear classifier, will not achieve state of the art. Averaged perceptrons get you closer, but what you really want is a discriminatively trained linear classifier with regularization.

If I had to bet, gmail is probably using something closer to https://code.google.com/p/sofia-ml/ than a NN. Maybe a Googler will surprise me though!
Ok, but that isn't what you said. You said haskell has way too many operators, and operators are fundamentally unreadable. Neither are true.

The problem with your new argument is that it is just rephrasing "if I don't learn X, I don't understand X". The operators commonly used in haskell are in common use, by definition. Haskell is not unreadable just because you didn't learn how to read it. No, basic_arithmetic_addition_function is not clearer than +. So why would needlessly_long_name_that_conveys_no_extra_information be clearer than >>=?

> how alternatively [to dbus] would a local process communicate with the Init daemon?

The answer to that is easy: It's still signals, like it has been for decades, and systemd doesn't change that any more than anything else does. systemd defines some more signals, but that's about it.

Notice that you said init daemon. The errors here are in thinking that (a) dbus is the communications system, even in systemd, for the part of the system that does overall system state management and the stuff that the kernel requires of process #1; and (b) the part of the system that supervises daemons is in all packages run in process #1, the "init daemon".

systemd, the package, uses dbus in a number of places between a number of components, most notably logind, hostnamed, timedated, machined, and localed. But don't get that confused with systemd the program that runs as process #1, which is as constrained by the kernel (and others) into using the same signals as always, just as any other system manager is. There's an AF_LOCAL socket (/run/systemd/private) for systemctl to talk to PID #1 using a private undocumented protocol, and a public documented D-Bus API for units, but those are for the service management part of systemd the program.

The system manager and service manager in the nosh package are in the same boat. The system manager's API is that same set of signals again (augmented with some of the extra systemd-defined signals that fit the model). There's no other API because the system manager is not what the world talks to about service management. The control/status API for individual services is the filesystem, the service manager (that is not in PID 1) presenting the same suite of pipes and files as daemontools-encore. And there's an AF_LOCAL socket for system-control (and indeed anything else, such as service-dt-scanner a.k.a. svscan) to talk to the service manager for loading and unloading service bundles in the first place, and plumbing them together.

Original title please: "An Argument for Never Cooking Again".

As a personal reflection I suppose it's a decent piece of writing, but I wouldn't call it a strong argument — at least not of HN caliber. The author focuses only on social dynamics and personal psychology, avoiding any pragmatic points such as focused practice to improve efficiency or the economics of ingredient availability and value of kitchen labor.

Also, as a man who cooks with other men and women, all of whom respect the importance of good food and the people who make it... I feel badly for someone whose view of the world includes this massive overgeneralization:

> People cook — particularly women, but not only women —
> because they think people are going to notice them,
> and love them, but almost no one thinks about who made

I may be wrong here, but I'm pretty sure as long as you aren't running any network services, you are probably ok.

This is a big deal because it's remotely exploitable. But it's only exploitable remotely if you are running a network daemon that somehow invokes bash and sets environment variables without sanitization. Web sharing, SSH in some instances, a few MTAs.

The average user PROBABLY isn't running a daemon that is vulnerable. Though in some cases, you may be and not know it (like if you had turned on Web Sharing at some point)

All of this is not to say that if you can apply the patch, do it.
Yes, that helps a lot, thanks!
I think this gets at a question of the purpose of this thread. Is it to catalogue rare-but-strongly-held opinions or to try and educate everyone about truths we're missing?

If the former, demanding a vigorous defense is clearly counterproductive. Anything anyone posts would find more people leaping to object than affirm, unless it happens to be a point this crowd happens to hold that particular contrarian viewpoint.

If the latter, the usefulness of such challenge likely depends on how well other readers are expected to do at assessing veracity themselves.

Personally, I find it valuable to read clear statements of positions I disagree with, and would weakly rather this thread promote such - there are plenty of threads that are better places to argue the meat of things.
