The KNOX technology really isn't there to protect you. That's just an afterthought. The real justification for KNOX is in the e-fuse that gets blown when you try to flash a custom recovery onto a Galaxy device. It's Samsung's way of punishing you for fucking with their carefully crafted (yeah right) TouchWiz user experience, by irreparably voiding your warranty and "disabling important security features".
Apologies, but I have to nitpick.

UN actions (ie. the arms embargo) made the conflict unbalanced - giving the advantage to one side, which then proceeded to run amok. Then, the UN repeatedly failed to protect civilian populations from this aggression. The current 'stability' in many places is an artificial equilibrium, maintained by outside forces and those 'dire threats'.

The conflict should reignite - for justice, but just as importantly, for lasting stability.
Yeah.. My intention is to make backends separable, so you could use HTML5 -or- touchmove-based one.

Most GF foods may trade the cealiac disease for something worse - diabetes. The starches they replace wheat with (like tapioca) have much higher glycemic index than wheat! If you can't have wheat, trying avoiding all refined carbs! As it's hard to stay completely away from gluten foods, my family is sparingly using Italian einkorn wheat (the ancient non-GMO wheat) products by Jovial [1].

Sorry to comment on only the subject and not the content, but "#define CTO" just makes sure that CTO is recognized as something but makes it completely empty. All it's good for (standard C pattern) is asking "#ifdef CTO" and then it will happily reply: yes there is a CTO, just don't try to use it! Actually this does fit in nicely with the article, but to be pedantic maybe a typedef would have been better!

Decide which one. Either it was a huge step forward, or similar system was already deployed. And small hint: we already have some nation-wide systems of this type in Europe.
thanks for the kind words! yeah, well, you wouldn't believe how many startups go from a perfectly fine MVP to scaling like crazy in one direction thinking it's all good from here onwards only to realize the MVP was adressing a very different aspect/nuance of the market than the built-out product does. I think klout started with the right MVP, but ended up being a terrible built-out product in the end.

Is that the only option you've considered?
Yeah, I agree. This wouldn't work in most companies because that's just not the culture, but like you said, I think there's definite value in it.

You also have to deal with people perceiving your optimizations as a threat to their job security.

I see it as a form of process improvement, but instead of analyzing inter-employee/department processes, you're analyzing the processes and individual goes through.

Ticketing systems are a pain in the ass. I get the point of them, and I think they can be really valuable, but they so quickly become bureaucracy for the sake of bureaucracy.

My team is pretty free to decide how we do things right now, and we're considering adopting some form of issue tracking so we can get a better idea internally what's going on, but we're wary of it becoming ticket hell. More than likely the ticket will only ever be referenced inside the team and we'll just try to use it as a way to make sure we're collectively not losing track of things.

Their solution involves using burst mode, then taking those many pictures and turning them into 1 high quality image. Burst mode would simply output a bunch of .jpg images... couldn't you run the algorithm on those standardized images?
There is already a lot of fraud on ad networks. This probably won't affect the raw amount that much. The main effect will be to make it easier for existing fraud to hide.

The problem is that out of these three choices:

* highly intermediated advertising ("adtech")

* user privacy

* fraud control

...we can only have two.

Because several people below are asserting that sensitivity to gluten (or whatever it is in wheat that gives people the wheat heebie-jeebies) is some kind of modern thing. It's not; people just forgot about it, then remembered again. About half of what I consider noteworthy enough to say on HN or my blog is pointing out that humanity regularly forgets, then remembers important things.
FWIIW, my own mild sensitivity is almost certainly not to gluten, as certain Italian 00 flours, rye and oatmeal don't bother me at all.

Theming was completely redone in the last years in GTK+3, that's why a lot of themes broke... it is now all done with CSS, and the 2 previous GTK+ specific theming mechanisms are deprecated.

Which means that you can now at least point the developers to the W3C specs if you want to argue that something is a bug, and not something that only worked "by chance".
While this looks cool, what is a practical application of this?
We'll only get new answers to old questions if we're incorporating new inputs or new capabilities.

By submitting these links to Hacker News you're assisting one of the Groovy despots to take over personal control of the Codehaus implementation of Groovy, which is why I'm suspicious. This despot has a long history of doing this, and it's only because of my intervention the 3 present developers are even mentioned on Groovy's wikipedia page, instead of the project person putting his own name there 3 times

Mmm... interesting. Honestly, I use Groovy heavily, and am a huge fan of the language (and Grails) but I don't spend a lot of time interacting with the rest of the "Groovy Community", so I wasn't aware of any of that. I don't know if I'm even subscribed to the main Groovy and/or Grails mailing lists or not. I do lurk in ##Groovy on Freenode a bit, but there doesn't seem to be much discussion there.

Anyway, I have "no dog in this fight" so to speak, in that I'm not backing any particular "camp" or anything in any sort of "fight for the soul of Groovy". I'm just a guy who uses it and think's it's a bit of a shame that the buzz around Groovy has kinda died down, in favor of Scala, Clojure, etc.
How much "philosophy" was necessary for us to achieve the google search?
I think good understanding of conciousness comes from the meditative tradition, and their definition for it is "the part of the brain that observes the other parts".

BTW we've already implemented consciousness in a robot: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/automaton-robots-b... and it's useful. But AFAIK, i don't think it's used in any commercial system, although that's the kind of thing a commercial company won't advertise.

I'm not too familiar with Django but with several other frameworks and I definitely feel like this applies to lots of them out there.

In my experience though, I've worked on teams with developers who criticize frameworks for those reasons, choose a minimal or no framework at all, and spend a ton of extra, unnecessary time reinventing a worse version of a framework they decided 'sucked' once they realize they need security, error handling, form processing, an ORM etc... Over-engineering is an epidemic.

Thanks for posting this. One question I have is this: When, as the CTO, you approach an engineer with the intent on coding together or otherwise building some system, are there not organizational challenges with an executive working with a subordinate? I realize that this has been tremendously beneficial to you, but I wonder how this works mechanically--do you just say, "Hey Jeff, let's build this together."? I have to imagine that if you're ever wrong technically, an individual contributor-level engineer might hesitate to tell you.
I was under the impression that the canal networks in the Netherlands were similar to the South Florida Water Management District's canal system. The primary purpose of the network is to prevent southern Florida from reverting to swampland, which is the natural tendency due to the geology, geography, and weather patterns. Since much of the coastal Netherlands is in a similar situation, I always assumed the canals were primarily for moving water to the North Sea without flooding out the low-lying areas.

I loved my Fitbit Force (no app problems that i noticed on android), however it literally fell apart in 6 months, as in the rubber completely disconnected and i was left with 3 pieces of what was my fitbit.

I'm debating on getting a Charge with the recall money from the Force, though i'm hesitant because i don't believe this one will last me any longer than the last...
I love this, looks amazing!
On top of this, consider allowing remote workers - it seems to be working well for Github and others, and honestly some people really like where they live.

Western European 80s kid here, fully agree with you (except for autism, I suppose)

Even today, living between the UK & France, it seems like every restaurant in London has nuts/gluten-free options or at least menu info, whereas in Paris hardly anyone cares.
Raw milk cheese is also more or less being banned in the US.
In both cases, I haven't seen any data suggesting a health disaster in the more traditional country.

Besides, your being downvoted, snarkily shown links of Romanian orphanages, and generally being taught nutrition lessons by Americans, would be highly amusing if it wasn't for the blatant racism.

His character isn't a deity. I believe the background is that they're on an alien planet some time in the future and are just beginning to terraform it. They happen to be using "sufficiently advanced technology" (in the sense of Clarke's third law).
Not, it isn't a different matter, it's exactly why things are the way they are. Doesn't matter which phone company is profiting as long as one of them is. The others who are not profiting just can't refuse to route calls to those who are because they also serve legitimate customers and it would cause major pain.
>Note: "One Drive" and "One Drive for Business" are totally different. The stuff connected to "Office 365" is the business stuff and it's really some friendlier front-ends on some kind of Cloud SharePoint thing...

From the link: "We’ve started rolling this out today to Office 365 Home, Personal, and University customers." I'm using Office 365 University and it definitely is the normal "One Drive" (just offers more space for it). The branding here seems a bit confused.

The popularity of self diagnosis with gluten sensitivities does seem to be a modern thing.

I'm not saying self diagnosed allergies are nonsense (I know someone who is clearly allergic to Yellow #5), I guess I would just consider someone claiming it was all fake (rather than much of it being faddish) an ill-informed crank (and not really feel the need to push back on what they are saying).
Headline is misleading. First paragraph makes it clear that these companies are not "rejecting" Apple Pay (and google wallet for that matter) but are excluding support for them because they are part of a competing consortium.
As someone who is a pretty serious hobbyist photographer, it is actually the second picture that looks very unnatural to me.

The first one I can imagine existing in "real life" if there were a soft-box enclosed fill light out of the frame that was lighting up the lady's face (it can't be the sun since the tree isn't being lit the way it would if the light hitting her was point-light-esque), which would make the photo very "posed", but still possibly something that isn't highly post-processed.

The second picture with the two ladies is much more distracting. The HDR version keeps a lot more detail than the non-HDR image, but at the expense of making everything look extremely flat and unnatural as your brain tries to process how the lighting is working (this may be unique to people who are used to worrying about light with regards to photography and a non-issue for normal folks, I can't say for sure) since the scene is clearly midday but the light across the entire scene makes it seem like the sun must be very low, which doesn't match with the contents of the scene.

The HDR version of the second photo would look better if the exposure on the two ladies were bumped up close to the value that the background sky was bumped down, but doing that automatically would be an amazing visual detection feat that I wouldn't expect out of a phone camera. The lighting still wouldn't make sense but at least it wouldn't look so flat.
So I left SV to come back to Canada/East Coast. I came here for a variety of reasons, but namely, our customers are here.

My previous gig was at Instagram, so I was in an environment where at 28 years old, I was amongst the oldest.

My target market is an area where the experience of older engineers will be extremely beneficial. I'm the first to admit that I am not clear on:
a) Where to find these people.
b) How to create a culture that is inclusive of everyone and is not ageist (or any other 'ist' ideally).

Is it really as easy as ignoring it, and addressing them as I would anyone else?
This looks very promising. Love to test it.
This article says the three breakthroughs were: parallel computation, big data and better algorithms.

I think we have a tendency to simplify scientific achievements. There's this romantic notion that real progress happens through eureka moments. Each of these "breakthroughs" are made up of many separate discoveries/inventions that, when aggregated, lead to modern artificial intelligence.

So the real question is - what types of new discoveries do we need to keep advancing AI? I'm not an expert in the field, but here are my guesses:

- Transfer learning is huge. How can we apply the data used from one problem to solve a different problem?

- Generalized pattern matching. Can we use the same algorithm that identifies separate objects in vision to identify different noises? Can we map these problems to the same dimensions?

- Better training sets. It takes years for a child to learn object permanence, much less speaking, listening and walking. What data sets can we feed a computer for it to learn about the real, non-virtual world around it?

- NLP based off of learning from real world datasets. Can we give a computer data from Google Glass and let it learn edge detection and words and then applying those words to the things it sees? Perhaps progress in NLP will come teaching a computer words the way you would a child instead of hard coding definitions. If you like Wittgenstein, I'd say it's a move away from Tracatus and towards Philosophical Investigations.

Is reddit that simple to rewrite over the weekend?
Dev of Polarr here.

I think the biggest thing that's missing from the current release is RAW image support which is technically difficult to do. We're right now having some success of extracting the thumbnail of RAW and do it on the client side only using JS, but editing the RAW is a lot harder and we're thinking about using some WebGL texture blending. Any thought/comment on this is welcomed and appreciated. (Not sure how Adobe is implementing their RAW editing)

-- The main idea of the company is in fact automated photo retouching https://www.polarr.co/box (please use desktop, large videos), and we applied to YC with the idea.

I used to use the idea of a head chef as an analogy to CTO (well ok I had itmanagerscookbook.com - back in the day when IT manager meant what it said.)

Anyway Basically a chef must be able to cook and well, but their role is much more teaching and training people in how to do excellent cooking whilst fitting in around this kitchen.

I like this article ("I started doing things I thought were missing like culture") and I wish we could get a more useful definition of CTO rolling - something like a wiki editable only by good CTOs explaining the role to new ones.

> In 1972, Juche replaced Marxism–Leninism in the revised North Korean constitution as the official state ideology, this being a response to the Sino-Soviet split. Juche was nonetheless defined as a creative application of Marxism-Leninism. Kim Il-sung also explained that Juche was not original to North Korea and that in formulating it he only laid stress on a programmatic orientation that is inherent to all Marxist-Leninist states.

> Former North Korean leader Kim Jong-il officially authored the definitive statement on Juche in a 1982 document titled On the Juche Idea. After the 1991 collapse of the Soviet Union, North Korea’s greatest economic benefactor, all reference to Marxism-Leninism was dropped in the revised 1998 constitution. Kim Jong-Il incorporated the Songun (army-first) policy into Juche in 1996.
