The market concept is nice for the reasons you listed, but doesn't it add an incentive to introduce obfuscated exploits into code then sell an exploit to them later?

1. Watson has to be trained on a specific corpus of information. Each instance is it's own Watson, and needs to be trained. They say that each Watson starts off as a kindergartner. 2. Watson needs to be trained by an expert using sample questions and it learns from that.
> scripts should use something that is more minimal. To avoid this sort of issue.

Are you also against Perl and Python or does this scripts should be minimal only apply to bash?

> First it encourages people to use bash specific stuff that is non Posix

That's not a problem for most people.

These are reasons you don't like bash, not reasons to not use bash.
Don't forget to update your docker containers and restart them.
Thanks for ordering the meals and for the support! You're right -- Gobble is a much fresher and healthier alternative to takeout that takes even less time than ordering/waiting and costs the same or less. You just need one pan :)

About allergies: We are adding that information to next week's menu (among other exciting improvements!). Stay tuned and you'll see a full ingredient list and allergy labels starting tomorrow.
One thing to add. If using iOS, use png backgrounds and images vs jpg. Even though they have a larger file size, you will see a MASSIVE performance increase on iPhone (night and day on old iphone 4's and 4s). You can even use PNG 24 but preferably PNG 8.
We use a HSA-qualified high-deductible policy from Humana One (https://www.humana.com/individual-and-family/) with 100% coverage after deductible, and we deduct premiums as a business expense. We make the maximum HSA contribution every year, which makes all of our family healthcare spending tax-deductible. Coverage can be obtained quickly and prices are generally reasonable, particularly if you don't have kids.

For routine care, we subscribe to MDVIP (http://www.mdvip.com), which has been fantastic. The subscription pays for a very comprehensive annual physical (of the type Fortune 500 execs get every year), and helps the physician maintain their practice with a smaller number of clients, so you can schedule visits same-day if you need to.

Because we cover healthcare expenses out of the HSA, it pays to shop around for things like prescription drugs. Tools like GoodRx (http://goodrx.com, details on how it works at http://kk.org/cooltools/archives/22342) help save a lot of money.

Hope this helps.
Mac OS's architecture is totally unlike systemd.

Areas of responsibility are implemented by standalone mechanisms that compose to create the larger integrated system and can:

1) Run in isolation from their upstream dependents.

2) Be replaced individually.

I don't think prep work is part of the joy of cooking and I still don't see the point of this. Why does takeout need an alternative?

This is more expensive or just as expensive than takeout.

It has all the downsides of home cooking with ZERO of the upsides

So as far as I can see they are making takeout more expensive and less convenient.
you can look at the iOS 8.0.1 release as an example here based on the widespread reports [1] of issues following the "small patch". I think that is one reason why you are seeing the upvotes, and why I read the story.

This isn't weirdness, it is "I charged someone's credit card without their permission."
A given instance of Watson is unique based on it's corpus (documents that have been uploaded to it) and it's level of training and fine tuning. So far each instance has had to be trained from scratch, although they are making some Watson instances available that will come pre-trained in specific fields (like medicine).

Well, my underlying point is that you can't demand to be paid, (and never could), but that doesn't justify people infringing copyright and then using the fact of that infringement driving down the value to say that the product is worthless.
People seem to be interpreting your comment as an accusation, rather than an admission of bias.

Except that it's rarely "what works" as much as it is "what we can convince somebody else works, so they pay us to do it." There is shockingly little measurement and followup in the marketing world, despite what the industry would like you to believe.
I made that meal myself last night! It's one of my personal favorites. It's good to hear you found the recipe fun and quick. If you have any other questions or suggestions for me personally, don't hesitate to reach out at ooshma@gobble.com. Perhaps a favorite dish that you want to see on the menu soon? :)
But you aren't choosing between a perfect world, where bugs get reported only to the vendors and the vendors promptly fix them, and an open market. Right now, governments and shady corporations are already buying. If it costs some company $250k or $1M to buy their vulnerability, maybe they'll work harder in the future. Or hire their own pen testers. And they'll have the money, because almost by definition attractive vulnerabilities are those in widely used software.

In the complaints about auctioning off vulnerabilities it's hard to avoid hearing companies bitching that they may have to pay security researchers, and it will be harder to intimidate them with law enforcement.
Probably, but I heard Debian unstable is already packaging it, so that's an option too.
That's really interesting, I wonder why that is? Is the decode step is that much faster?
Apple just pulled out the update.
Debian has only made systemd the default, and getting sysvinit back is as simple as running `apt-get install sysvinit-core`.

Removing systemd might have consequences for GNOME, but that's not a concern on servers. There is a significant enough anti-systemd contingent in Debian (not to mention Debian also supports kfreebsd, where systemd doesn't run) that I'm confident sysvinit will remain a viable option for servers and non-GNOME desktops on Debian. Even GNOME desktops may work on Debian without systemd thanks to the work being done on systemd-shim.

Ask HN: What happened / happens with Paul Graham's art career?
I've been both a tech startup founder and a professional artist, to some degree of success in both. (Funded companies, corporate partnerships; art works touring the world, high-dollar commissions.)

I'm finding it harder and harder to keep progressing in both directions. I want to be a person who builds technology that helps educate people more than I want to be a professional artist, but it's heartbreaking to think about abandoning one for the other. Even worse to think about being 60 or 70 years old and totally out of practice in my artwork.

I have searched for stories, essays or comments about PG's art career, but I can't find anything about recent works.

Did he (or you, as the case may be) just quit making professional art?

I've read Hackers & Painters. I'm asking about PG's art in 2014.
Read this as Joseph Gordon-Levitt and got way too excited.
Correct, iPhone 5s.
I suppose this is a good time to mention hiking safety.

Boy Scouts of America Hiking Safety Recommendations:

- Always tell someone where you are going and when you will return.

- Never hike alone or at night; use the buddy system.

- Dress properly for the weather and environment.

- Wear sun and insect protection

- Take an extra pair of socks in case you need to change.

- Obey traffic signs and signals.

- Avoid hiking along roadways.

- Stay on the trail.

- Be alert to your surroundings.

- Don't litter as you hike.

- Be alert to dangerous animals, insects, and plants.

- Never touch a wild animal.

- Take 1 pint of water for each hour you will be hiking.

- Never drink untreated water.
Has this release been pulled? It's not available in the iOS dev center and the one device I tried updating (before seeing this message) has been downloading it forever (well, 45 min so far).
This never would've happened if Steve Jobs were alive.
I wonder when this will happen to google and facebook. Happend to Xerox Labs, then Bell Labs/lucent. It's hard to imagine google and facebook being ghosts from the past, but everything must end at some point right?

Someone abandoning the checkout process is absolutely the first thing you should consider in advance.
I'm not sure about the 'best' qualification. That's way too complicated, not many people have the patience to learn and the time to do all of that. Just buy the chicken from the store cut up (and, I don't know about you guys, but where I shop, I can get the meat guy to cut anything up for me for free...). A lot of times machines are doing this stuff anyway, so cut up meat is pretty affordable. I particularly don't like cutting up my own meat because my hands up smelling weird, I have to clean up and wash the cutting boards, knives, etc. quickly (or else they start stinking up very soon), etc.
The update was pulled.

Problem is, if you were quick on the draw and updated as soon as it came out, there's no ipsw for the iPhone 6/+ on the dev center. Though the solution is to restore to last known good, LKG is not available through the usual channels.
From the post: "Approximately 80 minutes after releasing the update, Apple appears to have removed it from its servers. Verification steps at the start of the update process failed, and now devices running iOS 8.0 display the “Your software is up to date” phrasing that suggests iOS 8.0.1 never happened."

Just happened to a friend, she can't install the update she had downloaded.
Certainly a big part of the reason why I'm upvoting.

Every time I see a Linux rant making the rounds I think, "oh, what insult did he sling around this time?" It was nice for once to read something where he only insulted himself.

Pity that this is from 10 years ago. It would be nice to see more recent examples of this attitude from Linus.
FYI, this is/was a problem affecting the OTA release for the iPhone 6 and 6 Plus. iOS 8.0.1 was in the dev center, but was pulled along with the OTA release.
Just goes to show: the more The Current Bubble continues to purr and hum along, the more gimmicky-er, patently implausible (business-wise) & just plain wasteful the business models become.
The volume of medical data being created and published is rapidly increasing, and it would take a doctor to read something like 160 hours per week to stay on top of their field. There are only 168 hours in a week, so there is really no way a doctor today can keep up with what is going on . The idea of Watson is to be able to take large amounts of unstructured data (i.e. an entire patient history and current symptoms) and be able to find a solution. I don't think Watson will replace a doctor or physical interaction anytime soon, but a device connected to Watson or similar solution will most definitely be used to augment the doctor's diagnosis and treatment solution.

Dr. David Eagleman+I are hosting a Hangout Thurs (9/25), on sensory augmentation
Hi Everyone!

For anyone who is interested, my PhD advisor Dr. Eagleman, and I are hosting a public Google "On Air" Q+A Hangout. We'll be discussing + taking questions about our latest work in sensory substitution/augmentation using a device (which we call the VEST) that I've developed as part of my thesis work.

The hangout page is here (Thurs 9/25, 5pm CT / 11pm BT):

https://plus.google.com/u/0/events/c7ntchp6tf5k5uf0f8106rhn3l8

We're also experimenting with crowdfunding science using the project. You can check out our Kickstarter here:

Reminds me of Lawrence of Arabia. "Big things have small beginnings" I've contributed tiny bug fixes and the feeling was great. I did that, me.
So it has. Serves me right for not refreshing the article a few times, and going to check other sources.

I wonder what I do with my now-eternally-updating iPhone.
Here is my take on all these pre - made food services.

I love cooking, but I'm not great at it yet and probably never will be a master chef. Over the year, I have learned (the hard way sometimes) ingredients that work well together and one that don't. The whole experience of going to the supermarket, preparing food and cooking it at is somewhat therapeutic really. The best part is when it works out so well you feel satisfied...something like programming and you get it to work, bug free.

I'm sure we here have heard the of the phrase "Cooking is like programming", it really is in a way.

But I guess we live in an age where people think its a chore. Cooking is a craft, just like every other skill. Take some time out and learn the basics of cooking and you will be fine.
Do not get me wrong, I do not disagree with his findings. That is probably very accurate and that is awful.

But originally he was not out to mine this data. He actually needed a place to live, and I wanted to point out that he might have approached this the wrong way.

Personally I prefer e-mail over phone calls. A lot. So this was not obvious to me up until my experience last year.
Good read, thanks for putting this together. Going to run through this tutorial this weekend.

I'm really good at it and I don't work for free, but I am always being asked to, which is how I come to have an ownership interest in some films, I'll take a percentage depending on who's involved. The sad reality (and this is true for camera and lighting people as well) is that very often you're being offered/paid rental for your equipment and nothing for your work.
I doubt he would have put out a "bending" phone... how did that make it past the production testing people...
Don't joke about this, man. It's serious business.
See, I credit the same thing to not carrying stuff in an open pocket but in a bag that has a strap going round my neck and shoulder. Stuff doesn't fall out of it, I don't have to keep checking some git has pickpocketed me..

I carry a messenger bag with my phones, pens, pills, and go knows what else everywhere and don't really give a crap if anyone accidentally thinks I'm female or whatever.
Ask HN: Anyone have experience in buying a domain from a squatter?
I am interested in buying a domain (my name dot com). Whois.net shows that it is owned by a company - "JNOM Online Marketing LLC".

A few days ago it was available via auction on sedo.com. I entered the auction, and placed the highest bid. I was outbid just 2 minutes before the end of the auction. The domain is still owned by "JNOM Online Marketing LLC." (the previous owner).

I don't understand why they would outbid me at the last minute for my name dot com? :) My name is just a stupid hindu uncommon name that doesn't mean anything in the western world, so why would this company in Maryland outbid me :)

I believe the sedo.com auction was a sham. In that case, does anyone have a clever strategy to get my name from "JNOM Online Marketing LLC." :) Or any help regarding this would be very helpful. Thank you.
Well of course everyone wishes well to anyone pursuing a promising avenue of research in treating cancer, but what I see here is an online news site with a tiny reporting staff[1] recycling what is plainly a press release with an included video as part of the press release. A press release is how people go about raising crowdfunding, of course, but the role of press releases in the science news cycle[2] is more to hype a speculative idea that may not work than to report on what is known for sure.

The researcher who is profiled (through his own press release) in the article kindly submitted here appears to have written in 2010 a caution about speculative research. "Ultimately, every cross-disciplinary research niche must achieve a level of maturity. We would characterize maturity as having two defining aspects: First, a respectable level of reproducibility is required, and clear operating procedures using methods accepted by the research community. Secondly, enough repeated experiments have been conducted that broader meta-analyses can be conducted to glean additional or unexpected information about the system. These two aspects, combined, suggest ability and need to begin a process of standardization so that comparisons may be made to assess quality of research, and to bolster the strength of peer review. Ultimately, standardization opens up the avenue for practical engineering."[3] That sounds about right. If we can find replicable results with this approach, then we have something to talk about.

I have not accepted that a case is a necessary accessory.
So I tried it and here is the upside compared to takeout:

- It tastes better. There IS a dramatic difference in the taste when something is served hot straight from the pan as opposed to something that had been cooked 45 minutes ago and has been winding its way towards you in a brown bag

- You can control ingredients like butter/oil/spice etc. You can add/remove and customize it to your taste.

- It is fun. You can cook something tasty and unique and interesting and learn how to cook new dishes.
Show HN: The easiest way to launch a product
Each instance of Watson is unique and has to be trained as such based on it's "corpus" (set of data) and actual feedback on the quality of it's answers by experts. The public API sounds like it will allow access to specific flavors of pre-trained and data-filled Watsons, like the food- recipe one or some basic medical ones.
"You're just using it wrong"
Please. Another vote for this. This would seriously become my tool of choice, but I would become so dependent on it, as an extension of my working style, that I wouldn't want to invest unless I knew I could know that it wouldn't go away and that I could also hack changes into the code. Would definitely be willing to pay for the Open Source Version. I've also had ideas very similar to this, but am much more interested in having it than developing it.
Though I've pointed out before that I don't think formal testing is a big part of Apple culture, I'm at a loss to come up with how this passed the most basic smoke testing. Or to flip it around, what random variable wasn't accounted for that allowed the devices in the test matrix to pass? Sure, it seems obvious that Apple just didn't test it. But c'mon, we know that can't be true. They must have loaded on some iPhone 6s. So what's the missing piece?
(Another) IBMer here. As far as I am aware, Bluemix doesn't have built-in support for Clojure but a few of us have played with it and there are a few ways that you can run Clojure apps:

I wrote a blog post about my experiences running a Hello World app using the Heroku buildpack for Clojure which you can find here:

http://mytediousblog.blogspot.co.uk/2014/07/running-clojure-...

In addition, since Bluemix natively supports Java apps, you can export a Clojure app as either an uberjar or an uberwar and run it directly on Bluemix that way. So for example, if you create an uberwar of your Clojure webapp then you can push it to Bluemix by doing:

cf push your-app-name -p target/my-app-uberwar.war

... and Bluemix will run your app on a WebSphere Liberty Profile app server.

I'm happy to help if you have any questions - contact details in my HN profile.
Interesting, I had no idea! Good to know for future reference.
It costs 3.25%, or $74.25 for the example of $2300. So if you're looking to just rack up "reward points", you'd be best pumping through a payment processor that takes a smaller cut.
