I'm confused, fnordfnordfnord; what is it you (and others in this thread) think you're arguing about?

You and rayiner and Aleynikov all agree that it's fine and reasonable that Aleynikov was pardoned. There's no argument to be had about that.

Aleynikov thinks that the FBI agents who arrested him did so improperly. rayiner is doubtful, and would like to hear if anyone can convince him.

Your arguments for why the FBI agents acted improperly amount to "yeah, but it turns out that ....". This arguments are not a good reason to not arrest someone. They're a good reason to find someone innocent after trying them.

Sometimes circumstances are such that an innocent person looks highly suspicious to reasonable people with a reasonable amount of evidence. In those cases, it's reasonable, though unfortunate, that law enforcement arrest and charge that innocent person. Isn't it?

As far as I can tell, rayiner is right.... we have no evidence that Aleynikov was arrested improperly.
That part made me kind of angry -- "so-called" makes the writer sound like they know something we don't, like "subversion" is some cool trick that smart people know.
Musk mentioned the other day that Apple frequently tries to poach Tesla employees, but hasn't been very successful.
We can detect when bytecode is not well formed and fall back on interpretation, which can handle these nasty cases. This is more of a problem for AVM1 than AVM2.
As far as I know, Rust now has an LL(1) grammar, which means that writing parsers for it can be done by hand (or with the more powerful LALR(1) and LR(1) parser generators). This is very important for humans too, because it means more people are likely to write tools to process Rust code. If you hope to have automatic indentation, auto-completion, refactoring, formatting tools, etc. keeping the syntax simple is really important.
I don't care. And I'm not offended or upset in the slightest. I'm simply curious. And mildly amused.
How did Apple play the industry on sapphire? They attempted it, put up hundreds of millions of dollars, and failed at attempting to bring a sapphire screen to market, which included bankrupting the manufacturer in the process.
this one should work.

Font Awesome allows stacking:

But yeah, you're typically stuck with one color. Here's a demo that shows off multi-color fonts (Firefox only):

That technique could be used to make multi-color font icons if it were cross-browser compatible. Maybe one day. But I think SVG icons are where things are headed.

As for compatibility issues, there's one listed on this page:

You're referring to my google+ post from yesterday :)

The short story is that I tried for 500 images and then got 5.1% error on the test set. Looking at my mistakes, I then tried to differentiate two sources of error: a genuine problem with the dataset (e.g. many correct answers in an image, or incorrect label), and errors I felt could be eliminated by an ensemble of very committed humans who were even better than me at classifying dogs :) And that optimistic error rate is approx 3%.
Did Apple play anybody on sapphire (except for the supplier)? The press rumors were mostly true in hindsight, Apple had big sapphire plans (and there's real estate to prove it), it just didn't work out.
I can confirm that an i5-4200U (decent < 1000$ notebook) goes from 2-4% lowest proc frequency to 14% max proc frequency (and the fan starts). Using Firefox. It is clearly noticeable. Of course YMMV
It already does.
Electrolysis allows you to specify how many processes you want to allow maximum.
The best way to cheaply remove CO2 is to plant more trees. The simplest solution is still the best: it requires no new technology, can scale itself when the trees reproduce and is eminently accessible to all sorts of people, all around the globe. As an added benefit, some trees can even give fruit... which are delicious.
Humans are often silly and irrational and like making up arbitrary rules for the games they play. Don't lose too much time scratching your head about these things, or you'll quickly end up bald.
I'm a Linux Sysadmin/Automation Engineer/"devops guru". My last 3 jobs (each better than the last) all came from recruiters finding me on LinkedIn.

2 years ago I was trying to move upwards in my career path. I had a good job, but boring and I could go weeks with doing almost no work. I was simultaneously considered a valuable employee while actually operating as fluff. I decided to move into the world of configuration management and "devops". I spent a few months implementing puppet in our lab and in a few places. Then I updated my Linked with puppet experience. A few months later, I got an offer at a local university that was implementing Puppet. I figured I would work there a year and get really solid Puppet Experience. I worked there about 3 months, got much better with puppet, but hated the place. I updated my LinkedIn resume again with my additional Puppet experience (all my responsibilities at the new job were puppet/automation related). I instantly started getting calls. Then I landed an awesome job with a large service company. I loved that job, hated the commute. I wasn't even looking but as I updated my resume, I started getting recruiters from Facebook, Netflix, Google, and finally a work-from-home one from EMC that I jumped on.

Shykes > Can someone explain to me how the user benefits from this?

As a user, it would be fantastic to run my App Container images on Docker hosts, and Docker images on Rocket hosts.

If only I could move my virtual machine images this easily and avoid high switching costs between platforms.

Shykes > just do it in your own project and let the best project win ... you have to choose one or the other

Bullshit. If it's open, let the best idea win. If this is a bad idea, then let the community examine it and it will lose on the merits.

Don't force me into a false dichotomy.
Lately there are two ways I see MDUs providing internet outside of the normal cable/telco ROE arrangement (in my market) that work around that pushback:

1) Low-income housing with a up front grant from .gov for 512kbps or so per tenant. They hire a consultant to deploy wifi and hook it up to random ISP. ISP is paid out of the grant.

2) Mid-range or high-end housing pays a small local provider $10-25 per unit per month to provide X Mbps on a 2-3yr contract.

Both cases remove the up-front cost. The former doesn't care about managing infrastructure and the latter has outsourced it to the ISP.

For us, we try to avoid running new cable/fiber/cat5 because asbestos and cost, but we're working off different assumptions. Your model has cost per unit at $600 and we aim for less than half that otherwise ROI is too far out. Fiber costs basically the same as cat5 but you can frequently reuse copper for 100BaseT if there's a wiring closet per floor which greatly reduces the cost of running cable.

Right now we don't worry about delivering more than 100M because most people we talk to care more about cost than speed once you reliably deliver 15-25Mbps (e.g. not over wifi, no cable/telco peering congestion BS/<10ms to google.com).
Wow, this rumor is out of control.

I guarantee they are not working on a complete vehicle. Probably battery systems and some type of autonomous control, if anything.

I think this is just a moonshot program to attract engineering talent.
> The stripping clause only comes into place when you distribute the code, just as the GPL's copy-left requirement only comes into play when you distribute the code.

No, it doesn't. The stripping clause is a license condition with no limitation to distribution -- it expressly applies to all copies. Anything you need a license to do -- which is, anything that involves any of the exclusive rights tied to copyright (of which, the most prominent is copying, regardless of distribution) must follow it, barring an exception in the license or a some other provision of law that limits the applicability of the exclusive rights in copyright.

As well as the stripping clause of the MIT license, this is also true with regard to GPLv2 provisions related to copyright notices, which are required for both modification of GPL-licensed code and copying and distribution of GPL-licensed code, though the GPLv3 only applies this to copies that are "conveyed" (compare Section 2 of the GPLv2 with the combination of Sections 2, 4, & 5 of the GPLv3.)
How much worse is it? Can parsing actually be so expensive that it dictates the syntax of the language?
Indeed, restaurants and individuals waste food because they can afford to. It's a shame if the only way to stop that is for food to become dramatically more expensive. Ending government subsidies on agriculture and food would be a good step to consumers realizing the actual cost of food.
First Genetically Modified Apple Approved for Sale in U.S
It's also worth noting that they appear to still be working on the sapphire concept.

"GT Advanced officially confirmed its settlement with Apple and the closure of some of its sapphire plants. As part of the deal, Apple will recover its $439 million pre-payment made to GT Advanced over the course of four years, without interest. The Mesa factory will be closed and all of its 650 employees laid off, but GT will retain ownership of production and ancillary assets. GT and Apple will “continue their technical exchange,” and work on developing next generation sapphire crystal."

Do Yourself a Favor: Hire a Turing Graduate
10x speedup in training is a huge deal since modern nets take 2-3 weeks to train on 4 GPUs. Note that the speedup is not actually in the forward-backward raw speed of the computation in the network. The speedup here is a more clever form of the forward function, which makes it converge faster as you train it. In fact, they have made the network slower in this paper because they added the normalization computation into it.

At test time (once training is finished), they are very efficient though, on orders of milliseconds per image.
Google only has experience in vehicles because they started up a vehicles program. If apple wants to get into vehicles, they have to start somewhere too. "they haven't done it before" is not a good reason why they aren't doing it.
At the risk of downvotes, I will state a whole bunch of [Citation Needed] BS, which is, nevertheless, empirically true & in Hardy's favor -

1. Cerebral atrophy affects left brain disproportionately more than the right
2. Math is predominantly a left-brain activity.
3. Ergo, short-term memory & dexterity with numbers generally degrades with age ( supposedly peaking at 25 & declining from then on).

Most math majors I've spoken to ( from prodigies to professors & people in between ) attest to the fact that they were much sharper when they were quite young. It isn't that they become dumber as they age, more like - they pick up a different kind of math to compensate for some of the other math that required them to exercise their symbolic manipulation skills at superior pace, which they have now lost.
It indeed is just you. I don't know how you're going to find anyone worthwhile if all you do is keep everything restricted to linkedin. I've met plenty of awesome people at meetups, conferences, etc. that don't have a linkedin profile and maintain control of their own web presence. A simple bookmark and an email contact list is not much of a burden to keep track of such people in my opinion.

Karma actually has a real value on HN because it prevents some people from downvoting. If an Google fan keeps an Apple fan below the karma threshold then the Apple fan won't be able to shape future discussions. The system encourages people to downvote even reasonable comments that are from the "other team". You ran into somebody like that.

Actually, I think you don't have to rely on Docker's registry:

- you can simply use Dockerfiles and build your own images,

- apparently, it seems like you can host your own registry [1]

- you can even use a service run by CoreOS, ie Quay, to host your Docker images [2]

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by "I really don't want to run that software". Does it mean you don't want to use Docker ?

> How will it benefit Docker users to have to memorize a new command-line option

User here. I couldn't care less about a new command-line option, but it would be worth a lot if I could run any image on any platform.

If you claim this is "all about the user" then talk more about what the user gains or loses.

Is the biggest downside really just another command-line option? Docker already has a metric fuckton[1] of command-line options, what's one more?

Impugning the motives of your competitor is at best an irrelevant distraction, and at worst an indictment of your own motives.

I'd love to chat with you about the best way to make this happen on a large scale.

If most providers have shapefiles, is there a common method we could use to collect/manage that data that you'd recommend?

Almost every day (sometimes 5-6 a day) we have smaller providers who email us looking to update their coverage or adding more coverage, but we haven't come up with a manageable way to make it happen.

Then there is the whole validation issue which opens a huge can of worms.

If you're open to chat, I'd be incredibly grateful, we've been trying to tackle this problem for months.

That's what I thought at first too, but as I thought about it, I began to wonder.

They certainly have the chutzpah to try, and they have an ocean of money to spend overseas. A longshot bet on building another trillion dollar product might be preferable to paying corporate and personal income tax on dividends.
You actually can; I'm doing so right now. However, you need to install the full Shumway extension from http://www.areweflashyet.com/shumway/ (the stripped-down version shipping in Nightly is limited to Amazon only).

If you use Shumway, though, don't forget to disable Adobe's Flash (I've found that having it enabled and Shumway installed results in rather brutal crashes).
Very much agreed. A few months ago, I, very much like the person who wrote the article, gave up on Chrome because of huge memory issues (and more importantly, eating up my Air's battery). I converted to Firefox, but on OSX, it is absolutely abysmal.

Finally tried Safari and have not looked back. It is a breeze to use, and I in particular love the shortcut to read articles later. Memory footprint is much lighter, and even with 10+ tabs, I've noticed it doesn't eat a lot of battery.

Also agreed with your point about the extensions. I have the usual suspects like Adblock and Ghostery installed, along with LastPass, but Safari's extensions leave a lot to be desired.
"so-called" here is a way of distinguishing the use of "subversion" as a name/description distinction (somewhat similar to a use/mention distinction, but not the right way of making that distinction, IMO, as correctly using "Subversion" as a proper noun would be better, though) as the common noun "subversion" has meaning, but the word "subversion" was not being used for that meaning, only as the name of a thing.
of course there is - UNBUNDLE LAST MILE, its that simple
On an individual tree level, yes. But planting trees usually implies either:
- Designating new areas for entire forests to be grown (which all together is a store of CO2, even if individuals die and rot)
- Many individual trees in towns/cities, which would presumably be replanted if they die and so, again, in summation are a store of CO2.

Or just encourage everyone to have oak panelling, wood floors, and a huge excess of fine wooden furniture
I understand that Prime Instant Video isn't supported (according to the announcement) because Amazon uses Silverlight for that. However, it is possible to switch to Flash as a sort of fallback (this is a required step for, say, streaming PIV to a Chromecast).

What would be required in order to get Shumway to actually play video from PIV (instead of Amazon simply demanding that the user installs Flash or Silverlight)?
The Quantum Electrodynamics of Functional JavaScript
Nice - although they break up a bit if you zoom the page, sadly.
Hope they will be able to do lab grown liver as well as bones with all the cartilage and marrow included. Many people consider these more important to health than the meat. Better yet, more people need to be educated on what it means to provide a farm animal with a naturally healthy and happy life so that a healthy product is harvested. Cows should eat primarily grass and hay, chickens should eat bugs, worms, greens, seeds, and whatever else chickens like.

I suppose that managing the fields with rotational grazing isn't quite as simple as the factory methods that churn out the naturally unhealthy animals that result in the relatively unhealthy animal meat products, but it's probably a whole lot simpler that it will be manufacturing superior-to-natural lab-grown meat.

When we moved in two years ago there was an intermittent earth fault, so we had everything checked then. They found the earth fault, it was a loose connector inside a T junction I believe.

>the only thing they could beat the designers of Porsche, Mercedes etc.

i think electric cars for some segment like "Millenial urbanites" would be a market where Porsche and Mercedes don't have any starting advantage in car design over Apple as all their established design themes of high power/dynamics, masculinity, posh-ness, etc... wouldn't resonate that much there.
