Ah, no wonder, thanks! It still seems like quite the coincidence that so many groups were independently (?) working on describing images with CNNs hooked up to RNNs, though. I guess it's just an idea whose time has come?
I myself have an alias to get wget-like behavior (still not as verbose, but great for downloading binaries): alias w='curl -#O'

I'm afraid I side with the left-handedness argument. Years of muscle memory make me want to type "w".
I initially got a weird vibe that this Uber crusade, started by PandoDaily, reeked of similar SV faux-dramas originally pioneered by Michael Arrington and TechCrunch.

Which is why I'm not surprised to see former TechCrunch tech-drama bloggers Sarah Lacy and Paul Carr stirring the pot in a CrunchFund/Arrington backed venture.
This is totally inaccurate. Members of the press are invited to off the record events all the time.
I'm currently in China. VPNs are very common and popular here. Many work very poorly unfortunately (Private Internet Access included). Astrill appears to be the most popular and best performing. A few high-end hotels that I've stayed at route all traffic through a VPN to cater to their Western audience.

Many, many people with little technical ability use a VPN, especially in businesses dealing with the West.
I have the original edition of the book and I think it is one of the best books about software that I've ever read.

Gruber gets this one wrong. Native apps are part of the internet, but they are not part of the Web. The Web is what you browse with a web browser. To be part of the web, you need to support hyperlinks both incoming and outgoing.

Yes, the line is fuzzy on the boundaries. Some websites, like Facebook, expose relatively few links. Some apps, like YouTube, expose links for all their content---though of course YouTube was a website before it was an app. But the vast majority of native apps are not part of the Web and its ludicrous to claim otherwise.

As for "open" vs. "closed", he's right that different people have different meanings. For me what makes a platform "open" is that you can develop and distribute an application for it without approval or permission. In this sense the web (and MacOS) are vastly more open than iOS. But according to Gruber, "GPL software isn’t 'open'". Next he'll argue that up is down and black is white.

i was wondering how this would compare with bup. so i did a very quick benchmark: http://anarcat.koumbit.org/2014-11-18-bup-vs-attic-silly-ben...

take it with a grain of salt, but i am surprised to say that attic is at least as fast as bup.
The biggest sticking point in all that is systemd.

You can run Xorg on top of Wayland simply by changing the driver Xorg use.

Now if GTK or Qt drops their X support completely, that becomes a different story. But that don't seem to be a issue any time soon.
I am not a lawyer.

Unfortunately, if you are in China, while I'm sure there are some laws that protect you, you aren't subject to all of the American labor laws unless you were qualified for work in America. Texas has strong labor laws that protect this sort of event - including subsidized representation. It is possible that they may still represent you, depending on the situation, and if the company failed to pay wages beyond just simply yourself. If nothing more, they can point you in a helpful direction I should hope.

http://www.twc.state.tx.us

They are specifically around Texas workers of course, however it is also their job to police Texas companies. Ultimately, if indeed you have a US citizen in your work force, you may have a greater leg to stand on.

As others have said, your single greatest asset is representation by a lawyer. If at all possible, I suggest having one of your US counterparts start with the Texas Workforce Commission as I stated before. Have all of the documentation ready, including the contract, emails, and so on.

I tried the cbd type of weed that's suppose to be good for

dose(like 1/2 a small puff). I sometimes think most of the
benefits claimed are Placebo? That said--it's easy to get
a prescription for. In the Bay Area, getting a doctor to write a script(good for one year) cost $100.00. When I got
my script, the doctor was seeing a patient every 3-5 minutes, and only took cash. What a business?
This is incredibly funny.

Why are "innocent" and "guilty" in scare quotes? Do you not believe in the concept of innocence or guilt?

There are a lot of lazy, opinionated, hacky journalists out there, certainly. That you seized upon someone discussing revenge fantasies towards a particular journalist to air your problems with journalists as a class of people is problematic and not at all classy.

If anyone holds the idea that the fundamental problem in journalism today is that journalists are insufficiently deferential to the rich and powerful, that idea is laughably wrong.

If anyone holds the idea that the world would be a better place if journalists were MORE afraid of the negative personal consequences to them of writing stories critical of people who are rich or influential, that idea is also laughably wrong.
Actully, it isn't. Better not to tempt fate.
Edgecast customers include some very popular websites, which are certainly used by consumers and businesses in China. So it's definitely a problem for China. Now, whether the Chinese government gives a fuck is indeed another matter. I'm sure they can browse whatever they want.

Haxe is multi-targeted. It compiles to PHP, C++, Neko Bytecode, etc.

Being a high-level language, and using the same compiler infrastructure, it would have to be transpiled into a fairly low-level IR for the consumption of the various backends before being spit out as JS again.

I think the fact that its high level makes it much LESS simple.

It definitely isn't just mapping Haxe constructs to JS. It is much too feature rich.

I think it's unlikely anyone even gets fired. They should, but I bet they won't.
I agree with all your points, but I think maybe you have misinterpreted my intentions. Also not trying to use scare quotes - sorry for any confusion there. I absolutely think that journalists should not fear going after anyone, only that they make certain their facts are straight first (there have been quite a few cases where false propaganda has done a huge amount of damage). Not saying that is the case here, just making a general statement :)
context is key. someone could have asked him what is the most evil thing a company could do to journalists.
Easy. Android (Open Source, while the source is not always released right after a new version is out), running on most Smartphones over the world. Pretty big contribution I'd say, especially in a world turning Mobile-First. Chromium. Go. I'd say their contributions are far from negligible.
Rosetta probe Philae discovers organic molecules on comet
I think that was a joke. Judging from the rearview mirror video, the venue was pretty small. The event was also hosted by a graduate program at NYU, which in it's inception only had 20 members. While I'm sure NYC has a spare 100,000 people, I doubt such a high turnout for such a specific non-internet event.
I suspect there is a pro-Uber force on HN that downvotes any anti-Uber sentiment on HN, based on my own past experiences posting anti-Uber commentary. Whether or not that pro-Uber force is controlled by Uber, themselves, is unclear.

One example:

...notice 2 of 3 replies indicate surprise at how much I was being downvoted.
Ok, I'll ask the obvious question. Why is this "abhorrent"? Is it also "abhorrent" that Sarah Lacy and others at Pando report on the personal life of Uber and other tech execs?

Would be nice if I didn't need to download a 2.1 MiB image to view this page. Could probably keep the visual appeal here without the bloat by simply switching to JPEG.

Edit:

Also I'm having a hard time understanding your value proposition. Are these doing some active noise canceling, or are they just simply a bluetooth headset with semi-decent passive noise suppression?

Also, why would I want these to be connected to my smartphone while I'm sleeping? Am I going to be woken up by every text/e-mail?

Point being, when I read the copy at the top of your page I instantly think that your product is going to make my ability to sleep worse rather than better.

Edit 2:

The rest of the page clears up some of my questions, but I think you'd have a lower bounce rate if you worked on the headline copy a bit more.
Haven't seen this mentioned - but, since bup de-duplicates chunks (and thus may take very little space - e.g., when you backup a 40GB virtual machine, each snapshots takes little more than the actual changes inside the virtual machine), every byte of the backup is actually very important and fragile, as it may be referenced from thousands of files and of snapshots. This is of course true for all dedupping and incremental backups.

However, bup goes one step farther and has builtin support for "par2" which adds error correction - in a way, it efficiently re-duplicates chunks so that whichever one (or two, or however many you decide) break, you can still recover the complete backup.
Please, just stop. You say you aren't defending this behavior, but you effectively are -- and it's behavior that is among the filthiest, nastiest behavior I've seen in two decades in this industry. This has absolutely nothing to do with your -- or anyone's -- "concern" about journalism; this is about a top executive at a top company threatening the most vile, most disgusting kind of retribution against a public critic. The behavior is entirely indefensible and inexcusable, and Emil Michael should (and no doubt will) lose his job over it. Kindly pick a different occasion to have a discussion about journalistic integrity; the only discussion to be had here is whether this incident is a single broken executive -- or an entirely rotten corporate culture.

Speaking entirely divorced from my opinion on China politically (as someone with strong US and TW ties, FWIW), I think the Great Firewall has been a brilliant economic move in retrospect. While it may have been an accidental side-effect, blocking so many foreign sites has enabled a flourishing of domestic internet companies of the likes that nobody but the US has seen unless I'm mistaken.

And for a "middle class" of blocked sites, while not technically blocked, the packet delay is so great most people (except a dedicated few) will just shrug and figure that cross-continent internet connections must be too slow to be practical. Accessible, but only if you're willing to wait a minute. A brilliant political play, because it's hard to pin a charge oppression on anyone, since the information is technically there, but so slow nobody will access it.
"what kind of batshitty, drunken affair was it such that an Uber executive could even think it'd be worthwhile to loudly muse about such a plan"

CEOs are just humans harboring things commonly called "emotions" just like everyone else. They are not the flawless machines that PR wants you to believe. That's why they and everyone else needs some privacy, to just entertain idle thoughts that are neither politically correct nor moral to implement.
Those "could spend a million dollars" are basically a white collar version of "I'd love to take them out to the back alley and punch their faces because they make me angry". Even when you know that it would be stupid, criminal and in no way a good way to resolve an issue such thoughts still may pass everyone once in a while.

I generally don't think that holding "public figures" to flawless standards is a good thing, it just asks for them to play a game of pretend, putting up a facade all the time.

The moments they think they are in private those fake masks fall. Remember for example the event were Obama and Sarkozy call Netanyahu a liar when they think the microphones are off.
Anybody knows how this "advertising on WiFi" model actually works?
This summer my kids (elementary & middle school) did the Intro to JS and Advanced JS courses. They really got hooked due to interactive creativity and video lessons. The audio narrative was really fun and kept them interested. Therefore, videos and especially the audio narrative style in Intro to JS is something I would vote for and hope that Khan academy continues that even (and especially) for CS courses.

Stick with Node because the job market is currently hotter for it, get into a hot startup to get practical experience and make some contacts, and then wait for the next technology cycle. I suspect that both Node and Django will be obsolete in roughly a year or two.

(My background: I started doing Java Swing before college; wrote a bunch of PHP in college; got my first job working on Java webapps with servlets and JSF; founded a startup that successively ended up using web.py, Pylons, and Django; got into Google where I ended up writing webapps in C++; participated in the rewrite of that C++ server in Java, and am now using straight Django for my second startup. The technology world really does move in cycles. Use whatever you're most familiar with, learn it well, milk all you can out of it, and then move on only when you have to. You can save yourself years of effort by avoiding the latest fad and "grass is greener" syndrome.)

I've often thought one could make an economic argument against filtering. But for that to work, those in charge need to care about the losses. I think of it like those Mastercard ads https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GofscoXnpDw

"Losses due to filtering: X yuan. The illusion of control: Priceless. Some sites we like, for everything else there's the GFW."
Dang. Thanks for noting that. We'll swap that out :)

They are not doing active noise cancelling - they do passive noise reduction with an earplug and noise masking using soothing sounds. These are two of the better noise isolation solutions out there combined into one small package.

You want to be connected to your smartphone so you can hear some of the things you need to hear - those being an alarm clock, an emergency phone call from someone important, etc. We have a dashboard so you can control which notifications you want to be disturbed by.

Hopefully by giving you the control to block out everything and only hear the things that you ABSOLUTELY need to hear, we can give you a peace of mind to be able to sleep better

What? In what world is what is said here OK? In what universe are we fine with a company going on smear campaigns against a reporter's personal life in response to criticism of the company and its tactics? In what dimension is Edgar J Hoover approved tactics suddenly OK, and a multi-billion dollar company joking about attacking specific people not absolutely repugnant?

Probably. Getting a VPN provider could be a solution for the few who knows about such solutions. If all ports but 80 and 443 isn't blocked that is.

Keep talking about them, then. The more people are using Lyft instead of Uber, the more Lyft has the ability to expand.
You are 100% correct and the people inviting you know there is a slim chance everything heard will stay on the down low.

Perhaps it gives the appearance of keeping up with trends (e.g. wearables) to minimize buyer's remorse among unsophisticated shareholders. Definitely seems like an "optics" opportunity rather than something substantial enough to merit go to market efforts from Intel.
This is a common pedagogical problem with Haskell. We Haskell programmers are tempted to jump right into monads and functors and stuff, but the reality is that these (really very simple) concepts can't easily be taught by analogy. Often times the best way to learn is to slog through some examples.

Rollout means to "roll" out the deployment over spacetime. This is VS a "Dropout" where the bits splatter everywhere all at once. Rollout is a common method when you need to send 350MB images to millions of devices.

I don't have a lot of faith in the chances of success of a Larry Klayman suit. If he actually does manage to pull it off, it'll be the world's best evidence of the old adage about the stopped clock being right twice a day.

(In the last month, Klayman has filed suit accusing Obama of intentionally allowing Ebola-infected ISIS suicide troops into the US to kill Christians, Jews, and whites; the complaint ended with a demand that Obama be deported since he isn't a citizen. He is not the kind of standard-bearer any cause wants.)
Agreed! I love that there is no tip. Its actually the reason I've only used Lyft once.
OpenSSH seems to be the best known of the bunch, and even then it is loosely couples to the rest of the system.

Systemd on the other hand is rightly couples to the Linux kernel (to the point that you may have to update systemd and the Linux kernel in lockstep), and its many sub-systems are tightly coupled to the existence of systemd-pid1.

This makes systemd a whole other beast from OpenSSH.
In most cases I would rather pay for 7 more servers than for the 10,000 extra lines of code your C++ or Java implementation is going to cost me. Hardware is cheap. Engineers are expensive.

Collaboration and Communication platform Redbooth raises $11M
To start, the Uber exec was suggesting that they do their dirt-digging anonymously ("Nobody would know it was us.").

Also, those articles you linked to are examples of journalists providing commentary around direct quotes or facts/reports about the company. AFAIK, Sarah Lacy didn't dig up and expose personal information about people at Uber nor their families.
The point is to catch the eye of people who are just scanning the page. The first thing they'll see is the "TAKE ACTION NOW, Oppose NSA spying!" picture, which sort of leads you to believe this is another PATRIOT act or something. I can imagine someone seeing that, thinking "Not again, this stuff is endless, my senator never responds to my calls anyway", and closing the page.

Obviously ideally people will read past the biggest font on the page, but that doesn't always happen.
You claim that some journalists do not do adequate research, but have not provided any examples or evidence in support...
How much of the enterprise and service provider market share do they have again?
It's one thing to afford a public figure some margin of fallibility for being human. It's another thing entirely for that executive to publicly express authoritative, aggressive behaviors towards potential dissidents. This is some dictator shit right here.
Oh I absolutely agree that it's terrible behavior but my point was not that I condoned it, just that they should stop pretending like it's not their true culture/nature. I'm more sick of people apologizing for something they did mean when they get caught.
From 3 features he presented (Concurency, JIT, Soft Typing) I would put 5 $ on JIT, rest is pretty much against his philosophy.
I'm not sure if you really don't understand or are just arguing to be provocative, but I'll play along to make the point.

It's morally equivalent to saying that you would fund a smear campaign against a judge or juror that ruled against you. It's one small step from making threats of physical violence to silence negative reporting.

The press is considered an independent 3rd party bystander that is a crucial underpinning of any functioning democracy. Making aggressive threats against the press threatens the roots of civilized society, and is "abhorrent" because it's a tactic used by nearly every oppressive/fascist regime.
You seem to have left someone out.

Who says it isn't? I have read not a single iota of "Sarah Lacy is pure as the driven snow, this story about Uber taking revenge on the media proves it." I think a better question from your standpoint is not zero-sum, but "do they both suck?"
Interestingly, journalists dig dirt on everyone, so why wouldn't they have the same treatment? There is this guy who cleaned up the ebola apartment in NY, everybody is trying to take him down because of his past. I have a friend who fell into depression, failed a project and got harassed online for years after that, it could happen to me too. And the clickbait competition is not helping.

disclosure: I have never used Uber (or anything resembling) in my life, it's not present in my city and the closest I have been to Uber is witnessing a demonstration of drivers in Seattle (I didn't know there were demonstrations in the US). I just feel that one day I could be in the crosshair, and get my name trashed in the news for weeks.
Flambe is really nice. It's well structured and incredibly easy to get into. In a lot of ways I enjoyed using it more than haxeflixel or haxepunk.
