That's usually the right answer, but you have to be careful. For instance, you say the car will break faster than a human could. But if it does, the human-driven car right behind it is in trouble.
This sounds like a terrible idea and not 'inspiring' at all.

I actually implemented a bloom filter once to audit passwords in the 'real-world'.

We had a user who wanted a password audit, but who refused to provide password hashes. He insisted the hashes were too sensitive to give to anyone outside his organization.

So we wrote the bloom filter program and showed him how to run it. Its output was a... bloom filter (a C++ std::bitset<>.to_string()) that we could take and compare against known common hashes. Easy to compress. He liked the fact that it was just ones and zeros. No hashes were given to us. Just a string of ones and zeros. Not that there's a difference really.

Anyway, we took his filter and compared it to known weak hashes and when any known weak hash matched, we added that to another filter that we created and sent that back to him and he would make one final pass (using the new filter) to show the weak user name, password, etc.

No password hashes were ever exchanged and it worked OK. We uncovered many weak passwords. He seemed happy. However, the test/audit was not as thorough as I would have liked. You're limited without hashes and this approach is pre-compute intensive.

So there you have it. Bloom filters in the wild and in use. I still have the code someplace. All standard C++ and Crypto++.

Ask HN: How is Marc Andreessen able to tweet so much?
I know he's a super-intelligent and quick-thinking guy, but it seems humanly impossible to tweet as prolifically as he does, given the type of busy schedule I assume he has.

Occam's Razor makes me think he must have an entire team of ghostwriters who know him well and come up with a long list of smart tweet-length things that he would say, and then he publishes the ones he likes.

I've heard that's what other "social media mavens" like Guy Kawasaki and George Takei do, but I was wondering if there's anyone here who's "in the know" who could shed light on whether that's the case for Marc Andreessen as well.

Also, what do you think of this practice of ghost-tweeting? Does it feel inauthentic, or should it not matter as long as the content is interesting and fully endorsed by the person under whose name it's being published?

> Why is it so hard to believe that the mind controls the body at a cellular level?

It does, obviously. Contracting a voluntary muscle requires work that is done at the cellular level. A signal travels from the brain and ends up translated into a chemical message at the cellular level which contracts muscle fibers.

The brain is even able to address a specific set of cells that correspond to a bundle of specific nerve fibers for that muscle.

Nervous-system signaling involves the cellular level: changing electric potentials, ions flowing across cell membranes, and and such.
Of course it applies to me. I am not supremely confident I own no counterfeit hardware. Especially when it comes to some of the cheap cables and adapters I own.
Exactly my thoughts. There are so many dev tools out there but I can never figure out what they actually do by reading the info on their landing pages. All I get is a bunch of buzzwords and empty promises.
You don't understand what the word "native" means. Transpiling to C is not "native." The RPython JIT 'compiler' is a trace optimizer for the bytecode interpreter. There is absolutely nothing "native" about that. If you don't have an assembler, it's not "native."

As a consumer I had no way of knowing the motorcycle I bought was stolen. It came with the keys, the title, there was no evidence of thievery (most commonly broken parts around the ignition). The police said, "Wow we wouldn't have known this was stolen without running it in our database either".

I didn't know. But it still gets repossessed, and I'm still out $1k.

With the test the 15" MacBook lasted for around 4 hours, BatteryBox on its own did about 2 hour 20min.

Nothing wrong with mounting volumes, but certainly not for production DB's, at least not at this point. I don't have much insight to share on this, besides my intuition based on several years working on HA systems. The clusterhq folks are working on this problem though, and I am following keenly.
A lot of those problems were solved years ago. I remember a big push in the late 90ies, on Debian, to ensure proper endianness, because of the many architectures on which it ran.
> it does not fit at all into my model of building hierarchies of DSLs

Links to source code or GTFO. The only way people manage to combine DSLs in a single-namespace language is by having stupid naming rules and restrictions (see for example Ruby on Rails). Compare this to something like https://github.com/vsedach/cliki2 where I could just throw arbitrary CL libraries that define their own DSLs together and not worry that my function name is going to clobber some reference in the template system.
I don't why your comment triggered that thought but it happens that almost no one in my circle of friends has much to do with IT - they have computers, but they use them to surf the web and play games.

Maybe boring is the wrong word. "Indistinct" might be better. I don't know the identity of yahoo. I've got a feel for many trademarks and companies, but yahoo doesn't give off much other than "they're still in business?" with emphasis on the word "still".

Lack of identity does not mean dead man walking. Say "Johns Manville" and 99.9% of you will go "who?" "what do they do?" but commodity license plate stamping shoveling can make a lot of money, even if it isn't interesting or cool.

Yahoo will either get an identify or end up the Johns Manville of the internet.

The problem I have when I've used that strategy is that then I need to skim all of the emails and recall the state of each one. I find it to be both distracting and stressful—I'm reminded of every task I need to accomplish (or, at least, the most recent 20) whenever I check my email.

For my work email, I try to practice inbox-0. Every message either gets an immediate action, or it's filed away as a task on my todo list (including the URL for the message in Gmail), and then archived.

The next generation of startups is going to have to address some employee equity problems, I think. This notion that early hires are going to share a small piece of the 10% employee pool needs to stop.

Being employee #1 of a startup can be one of the worst positions a young developer can ask for. Long hours, high stress, low job security, and for what? 0.5% of a company that, if it survives, will most likely dilute its shares?

A startup could really set itself apart by advertising more progressive structure-- One where shares in the company aren't treated like a lottery ticket, but an actual piece of value that is worth growing. Too bad VCs don't see it that way.

Cool! Back in 2012, I got impatient and put together my own resistive touch screen for the Raspberry Pi: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uwEwHFglq8M.

Marco Arment's thoughts on this seem somewhat germane here:

Especially at Twitter. Twitter started out as a developer-friendly company, then they became a developer-hostile company, and now they’re trying to be a developer-friendly company again. If I had to pick a company to have absolute power over something very important, Twitter wouldn’t be very high on the list.

They’re not obsessed with messing with developers’ heads — we’re just innocent bystanders getting hit whenever this fundamentally insecure, jealous, unstable company changes direction, which happens every few years. Twitter is never happy being Twitter, and it seems at times that its leadership doesn’t realize or doesn’t value what makes it so great. (Ever wonder why there’s so much leadership turnover?) And they’re now under the financial pressures of being a high-profile public company. It’s a powder keg.

Maybe they’ll tell us how great we are this week and they won’t burn us again. And I’m sure the people saying that on stage at their conference will honestly believe that. But it’s only a matter of time before those people move on to different jobs, Twitter’s direction changes again, and developers suddenly find themselves in the wrong quadrant of the newest initiative.

This topic has come up a few times in the last few days with friends. I'm 41, but most people think I'm in my early 30s. I'm from Whistler, BC, where most people look and act significantly younger than city-folk of the same age.

Fence Off Construction Sites for Safety
Keeping people safe on construction sites is extremely important. Construction workers are sure to wear their helmets, gloves and any other protective gear they may need, but the average person is not familiar with these standard safety procedures.
Temporary construction fencing is a popular option for construction sites. It is typically quick and easy to install, protecting the job site and anyone who may come into contact with it. A temporary construction fence is typically made of metal, with the option to add a privacy screen for particularly loud or dirty job sites. When construction is done, temporary construction fencing is just as easy to remove.

Does having rich parents count as 'normal'? Perhaps Wayne Enterprises and Stark Industries are a form of magical empowerment.

There are plenty of non-innate ways to make the protagonist remarkable in some way, and most can be hand-waved away as not important to the plot. Epic heroes are easy to follow.

The magical origin story simply does not interfere with the adolescent empowerment fantasy. You, too, could be the secret bastard of an immortal, kid! That makes you special and important and worthy of respect! Tonight's homework: being awesome. Tonight's chores: save the whole freaking world.

In those stories, the protagonist of the story is proxy for the hero in you, and it saves the author a whole lot of character development. If the main character is instead some sort of average Joe Schmoe, the author has to figure out a way to make the reader care about him, whether that be sympathy, pity, hatred, or whatever.

There's good reason why some fiction stories seems to follow a formula. It's because the formula works. Define hero. Add conflict. Introduce the very likely possibility of defeat. Wind up to an epic confrontation, where the hero is ultimately victorious. Resolve subplots and romantic tension. The end.

If you want to read about normal people doing great things, read a nonfiction biography. In fiction, there are no normal people, because every author has the mystical superpower of invoking the suspension of disbelief by any means necessary.

> roads, blocked often by wrongly parked cars

How do humans deal with it, can they upload a notice to all the other human driven cars that the road is blocked?

Also if the wrongly parked car is self driving, the blocked car can just ask for permission to pass and the wrongly parked car makes way and then comes back to the original position... that is if the wrongly parked car didn't send a preemptive signal to all the other cars in the area that it would be blocking traffic.
I always assumed that the first checkmark indicates "delivered" and the second one "read", since right after you post it it shows a clock-symbol.

Customer Satisfaction vs. Customer Delight
> Everyone, in demanding the lowest price no matter what (all the way up the supply chain) bears part of the blame.

Your use of the word "blame" implies that you think there's some wrongdoing on the part of someone other than FTDI. As far as I can see, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the production and use of these clone chips except that they are being labeled with FTDI's trademark. They're piggybacking on FTDI's software work, but that's nothing that the government has an interest in stopping. If FTDI doesn't like people using their software without buying their hardware, they can resort to more traditional means like not giving out their software so freely or including DRM.
