How do they know it's a foreign submarine? If they know it's a small submarine, and the pilot was apparently clumsy enough to scrape the bottom, maybe it's an amateur engineer who has built their own submarine.

It's not exactly unheard of: https://www.google.com/search?q=homemade+submarine&espv=2&bi...
I'm curious why they didn't include any medium format cameras (let alone large format cameras with movements ... how much does a 4x5 digital back cost?).

For under $2000, you can get a new 6x7 rangefinder with fixed lens and you'll pull tons more detail out of a slide or negative that large than you would out of a 35mm slide/neg.

If you're willing to buy used (and why wouldn't you considering they're using digital cameras from 2003 in this review) you can get an awesome medium format or large format system for under $1000.

>"A child learns to speak and recognize objects from much less data than contemporary machine learning/data mining/AI/whatever you call it needs."

You think?

When a kid starts talking at 1.5, 2, 3 years or whenever they're doing so after being exposed to many thousands of hours of input, much of it effectively guided.

Also, as far as I know, we don't have nearly enough understanding of the way the brain works to make a useful comparison between "records" fed to a model and all the analog input that goes into making a person.
I could not belive my eyes when I have learned about GS Collections library for Java [https://github.com/goldmansachs/gs-collections]. Very nice piece of open source code with a very good documentation.

I had to double check if I am looking at the right place...
Or rather:

> The submarine's presence was picked up by military sensors, Goransson said. Supporting evidence, he said, included a picture showing a bubble pattern typical of a diving submarine and a sonar image of tracks on the sea floor.
I spend most of my life in Git, simply because that's where the market is. I've had people ask me Git questions during interviews, which is mind-boggling, but there you go.

Each time I've worked with Mercurial it's like a giant weight is lifted off of my shoulders. I feel great joy instead of dread each time I have to go look on Stack Overflow for "wait, just what magic flag combination do I need to use to avoid destroying all my work?"
Google Inbox is using between 365MB and 460MB, when Ghostery and Add Block Edge is activated, it is more than 600MB. This is where multi process seems to be useful (otherwise it is using much more memory for no real gains), and extensions can be really taxing sometimes.
> Even if I was confused and picked their performance as a "year to date" it would be 23% down.

You seem indeed confused. "Year to date" is the only reasonable way to understand "so far this year" and the stock is down $23 (37%). From the all-time high closing price, it has lost $33 (45%).

> Basically. I think this is biased junk or a financially literate reporter.

I guess you meant illiterate, but actually you got it right...
That is not true, the application does not run, or at least not securely, with its animations, etc.
Fertilizer is oil based? I thought plants got almost all of their carbon from the air. Are you talking about the hydrogen feeding into the Haber process? Because most of that comes from gas-shifted water and IIRC the energy and carbon for gas-shifting water comes from natural gas. The nitrogen itself comes from air, of course.
I tend to agree. It's the best all around machine out right now.
being from San Diego, i can state that SAIC is right physically down the street from any number of qualcomm campus buildings. also note, that while i am not a conspiracy guy, the security community there has always been fairly tight, a lot of the top feeders know each other, and there are a lot of interworking groups, guilds, clubs, that would easily lend themselves to partnerships, cooperations, things like that. i am just saying not to rule it out.

The technology needs/needed to progress to a point where the price of implementation would be low enough to appeal to businesses.

As the parent comment notes, the issue is now mostly one of availability. The sun doesn't shine 24/7, the wind doesn't blow 24/7, etc... so large scale power storage is needed to smooth the energy grid provided by renewable sources. We need to be able to harness the sun/wind when it is available, pack away the energy, then trickle it out on demand. We just aren't there yet but we're getting close.
Because they can probably get accurate sizings of the fin from the photograph and scrapes in the sea floor, and no amateur will have built a submarine that big.

"Small U-boats" are small in relation to SSNs, and especially SSBNs, they're not actually small.
Given yesterday's Amazon scandalous news, along with all other tech scandals (e.g. Condoleezza Rice at DropBox, no-poaching agreements), it's disingenuous to claim that only happens in finance.

When you decide whether to release a product on a certain environment, it's not as simple as something like:

a) if it works, or seems it would work, on that environment, then we should release it there.

or b) that environment is a competitor, so we shouldn't release it there.

If you think it should be that simple, you never worked with a real product manager responsible for products with millions of users.

Having a product to support a new environment isn't a trivial effort for devs, QA and a bit design. At a particular stage of the product (think about the goals they want to achieve for Inbox at this stage, which I think is something along the line of polishing the product based on mass but controlled feedback), I would've probably made the same decision if I were the product manager.
Unfortunately, our society isn't structured that way at the moment. Any benefit gained from automation is not directly "transferred" to some arbitrary bucket designated "Money we can now spend on enhancing peoples lives / making it so they don't work for basic needs."

>"Robotics. Software. Renewable Energy. These three ingredients remove the need to take anything from anyone while providing for everyone."

As much as I admire your noble sentiment, I feel it is a bit unrealistic. Someone has to pay for those robots to be designed, maintained. For that software to be designed and administered, monitored. And renewable energy doesn't manifest out of nowhere, it needs capital investment (most of the time) to be harnessed.

I'm struggling to conceptually understand how you think those items will manufacture productivity (general concept, as opposed to money) without it being taken from someone, whether willingly or forcefully?

I'm knowingly ignorant of international politics. Can someone who follows this speculate the meaning of this?
I think most people that are using core net/http package utilities instead of a framework don't fall under the "deep understanding" category because of the ease and simplicity of said package.

Building a framework is useful for doing that, because you have to understand the routing mechanisms, the way statuses and headers are set within the net/http package, etc.
I hate that Mozilla is doing this.

But I concede that they are in a strategically weak position.

Google has no competition in the search space, so they don't need Firefox's traffic.

Microsoft wants Firefox's traffic, but most Firefox users would (rightly or wrongly) consider a default search engine change to be a downgrade.

It's also possible that both Google and Microsoft might decide that, strategically, the web browser landscape would be preferable to them with one less major player, each hopeful that their entry would take up the majority of the gap. So they might non-collusively collude to starve Mozilla.

Where else can Mozilla make hundreds of millions of dollars per year in revenue by throwing a switch? They are at the whim of corporations whose interests are not well-aligned with their mission.

So, reluctantly, I get it.

Still, the likelihood that Mozilla can turn itself into a major advertising medium seems so remote to me. Sure, they hired the ad biz dude, and no doubt he has minions to sell sell SELL!, but replacing Google revenue is a big hill to climb.

Mozilla has an expansive mission. No one else is trying to do what they do. I believe that they deserve our support more than anyone else. They may have expanded well beyond the point of supportability, however.

If they lose Google, and Microsoft wants them to starve, even with this adrev move, their revenue would almost certainly drop to 20-30% (at most) of the current $300MM. That's a lot of people and a lot of projects that will be cancelled. It would be a new crisis of the web, honestly.

If this advertising move alienates any portion of their userbase, Mozilla's importance to Google declines even more quickly than their potential independent ad revenue.

So I'm biting this bullet, hard. I believe in Mozilla, and I recognize an existential threat to their mission, which is even more obviously important today than 18 months ago. Hindsight suggests some helpful defensive moves, but we are here, now.

I understand the "ok then, switching to xx browser" reactions, and even sympathize with the "whatevs, as long as I can turn it off" crowd.

But we need to give Mozilla the option of a soft landing. Maybe they need to rein in their projects and staff expenditures and focus on a few super important things. But letting them starve would be catastrophic.

The Google contract was supposed to expire this month. Do we think Google is now evil enough to try to game their advantage, in the guise of shifting corporate priorities? I sure hope not.
There's not really a good reason for Google to make applications they create work outside their own run-time environment - Chrome. Any technical reason they might offer (sparse array performance) is just facetious. They have the technical know-how to solve such problems, but business wise it makes little sense.

I use three web browsers for just that reason. Chrome for Google products (YouTube, Gmail, now Inbox, etc.), IE for Microsoft products (Outlook.com, etc.), and Firefox for the open web and general usage.
It hits all of the right buttons:

- Security certificate at the bottom

- Success Stories with names

- People photos prominently displayed

It was an extremely well-designed scam, it hits all of the points other articles on HN mention to gain trust for startups :)

Probably means a Southern accent.
Here are the ideas this propaganda piece is meant to sink into Swedes' heads:

- Russians are scary and bad. We're on the good guys' side.
(The good guys are NATO and the West in general, of course)
- We need to increase our military spending.
- We need to join NATO.
Again, that's the idea with competition in the market. What one group wants may not be what everyone else wants. If enough people really want a specific set of features it would be nice if a vendor/Open Source solutions implemented that feature.
There might for exmple be big differences in how enterprises use a tool and how (big) open source project use the same kind of tool.
Theoretically, everything is related to each other. Practically, no.
ORM works great for basic CRUD stuff like typical web applications. You don't have to use it in every part of your application.

I am tired of school. I feel like every school day is like going into a battle, coming out all beaten up and exhausted. I love assignments but when it comes to tests I cannot still and study. I am in programming and it doesn't make sense to have written exams or test for it. I want to drop out, but I feel like school is the easiest thing in life, but if I can't do that then how can I do anything else in life?

As I mentioned in my comment above, there's a lot of value in doing this (and in writing your own language) if only for an understanding of how to do such things.

There is of course a huge leap between implementing and formalizing parts of a pre-built net/http package in Go and writing a well-designed language with a quality lexer/parser, but the idea is the same. Assuming you're not doing it to be your standard live environment language/framework of choice, it's a valuable process for learning.

If everyone took the :scoff: "don't write a framework, we already have them" approach it's true we'd have a lot fewer shitty frameworks. But we'd also have a lot fewer good ones.
There have been some plane incursions into Swedish airspace in the recent past too, I believe. Looks like Russia doesn't really care about borders anymore, which fits right into how they treated Georgia, the Crimea and now eastern Ukraine.
Good. Because if you do by any chance you will spend many, many years in prison. You like that part too, right?
One could use c++ instead of Python/JS/Go, I would however recommend still using the JSONRpc bridge to communicate. I would not recommend using c/c++ at all, as Atom.io has proven more modern garbage collected languages have become so incredibly fast that c/c++ are primarily distractions unless you are a master of the incredibly huge ecosystem and can sling code together fast without having leaks, pointer issues, and a host of other security issues.

At a minimum, I would recommend using Go or NodeJS with a C binding for any extremely low level operations you would like to achieve, that would make everything much more suitable, you would also benefit of the ecosystem of modules.

github is great largely because git is the best (d)vcs.
Github was the first and the best so they got (and deserve) the lion's share of the market.

Also they got a lot of clients that would have otherwise chosen code.google because Google put up barriers in terms of licences.

I created a small starter Go Web Server from a website that I'm building:

I'm not sure that I like embedding html in fmt.Print() methods, along with templates. A lot of my page handlers look something like this:

My site is about 4000-5000 lines of Go, with a bit of "repeating myself". I'd like to hear from devs who've built larger sites.

Btw, here's my site:

"if something seems too good to be true....it probably is"

Except when it isn't, but it usually amounts to high amounts of information assymetry, or high (real or perceived) risk.

Yes there is. It's the world wide web. An interoperable universal interaction standard. Or it was until Google started pulling an IE6 game.

I use Firefox for everything because there is no central motivation to specialise. If a site doesn't work well, it doesn't get my business.
That's the way I read it too and I'm surprised no one else has mentioned this. Unless I'm missing something Google is allowing XSS for their own domains in chrome.
al2o3cr, actually no. There are a load of difficult implementations needed to achieve even the most basic webbrowser, even when building on top of the already great chromium content lib. For instance, Thrust's predecessor ExoBrowser failed where Thrust is succeeding, thankfully we have progressed to a state of composability where we can take the work of others before and compose it into something useable for the world. The 500 something commits to Thrust were no simple feat, and their are many more to come.
There are some of activities where cost per joule could trump everything else. If you want to desalinate sea water you don't need to store energy. You just need to store desalinated water. If you want to desalinate water in Saudi Arabia, you can forecast weather 10 years in advance.

If the underlying economics were there now, and the cost per energy (which is remarkably hard to reliably estimate, but that's an said) really was that much better there would be implementations in places with an established market for desalinated water.

Since you can be pretty sure that Google reads and hands over your email just as much as Microsoft does, you should give outlook.com a chance. It has a really nice UI for personal email and, apart from a few UI deviations, is pretty much the same as Gmail was before they started trying to make it "better."

I'm pretty leery of faking depth of field since you can't blur in pixels that aren't there. What this really shows me is that sensor size is almost irrelevant when it comes to image quality now. Certainly a 1" sensor should be enough to satisfy most needs. It's all down to lenses and ergonomics now.
> The long case on Twitter is that the fundamentals are good.

I'm not sure I agree with that statement. They've got a lot of users, many of which love the service, but as a business the fundamentals are far from sound. I'm yet to be convinced that paid advertising is a model that will work on Twitter, and I can't really see any other model beyond persuading people to pay to hide the adverts (which destroys their advertiser base).

Twitter started as a hobby side project to communicate between a few friends, not a business, and you can see that in everything they do.
honestly I want to know, just exactly what can they accomplish knowing this?

If its Russian, why would they care other than an effort actually didn't work. In the grand scheme of things Russia isn't going to be overly worried about Sweden. So I figure at most, they will have to figure out some new tactics to avoid detection and keep doing it till they get it right, if ever

Connectivity and security need to be considered the same thing on the modern Internet. XP is no longer supported, and that leaves it in a pretty dangerous position.
