Whew! I was worried there was something that marketing people couldn't cheapen. Thank goodness technologists have labored night and day to counterfeit handwriting. I especially like their oxymoronic slogan, "The Personal Touch, at Scale".

As has long been said, "If you can fake sincerity, you've got it made." I guess they're all set.
A link about conscious entities lurking unseen within my own mind, and slenderman? No, just no. Not clicking it.
I asked "What is the answer to the Universe, Life, and everything?" and it replied "The answer to the universe, life, and everything is 42 (according to Douglas Adams' humorous science-fiction novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)".
It seems pretty smart :)
One cannot realistically expect a secret to remain with that many people.
How does Source and Steam fit together?

Source is an engine, Steam is a distribution platform. I think the only truly significant interplay is:

- Source games will probably behave well with the Steam Overlay and probably work in Big Picture Mode with controllers

- Steam recognizes the Source libraries as a distinct element, so you only have to download the Source engine once even if you have many games that use that engine
In isolation, I agree with you -- this is what a competitive market looks like, Unity has forced the other engine makers to become more competitive. Competition is good.

In the broader picture... I'm not sure. I keep thinking about the video game crash of '83, and how market oversaturation crippled American video game makers for years. I wonder if the constant lowering of barriers to entry isn't hastening something similar. (Probably not nearly as bad, video gaming is a lot more mature as an industry right now, but still.)
Thanks for explaining ;). So Hillary Clinton, even though being on the left side of the political spectrum, promotes government steered parenting (='liberal' in the US)? Now I know American liberal doesn't mean the same as European liberal (which is usually attributed to the right/centrist side there), but man - you people sure seem to have a badly infected case of governitis there. Have you tried turning it off and on again?

I've always followed the "metrics driven development" school of thought. If you make capturing "application telemetry" part of the deployment and running of your application, you make it super easy to monitor via a more or less full on integration test using production traffic. Api response time > 300ms for > 5 seconds? Pager duty!
Or, hypothetically, an unscrupulous person could go to r/scholar, check the right sidebar for the link to libgen, and search by the DOI, which in this case is 10.1016/j.mayocp.2014.12.013 ...but I'm sure nobody here would stoop to such things.
I use ND several times a week. In my area, it is used primarily for 1) requesting/giving recommendations for home services, and 2) a discussion forum for local crime problems. It's also a local events message board of sorts.

If they got enough penetration in neighborhoods, they could potentially compete with craigslist's local classified business, by using their neighborhood restrictions to offer a classified platform with a lower likelihood of scammers, etc.
They should've tried making it wider.

Base it on scientific results regarding child health/endangerement: Your children do not get enough food? Congratulations, we have child endangerment. Your children get hit by you? Congratulations, we have child endangerment. Your children walk home from a park without supervision? Congratulations, we have ... nothing.
It isn't more complicated. Just look at the numbers [1]. Sweden has between 2x and 3x less deadly road accidents, depending on whether you look at it per mile driven or per capita.

Yes, absolutely. Which means you need to architect and run expecting failure, which is so much different than traditional apps. (I am calling architectures 10 years old, "traditional"; that is funny.)
I think you are spot on with your list so far, add in PHP if you want to be a great WordPress developer.

Add in some UX skills and like patio said conversational English and you can probably stay busy most months.
I think NextDoor is different than patch because it is almost entirely user generated content (as opposed to having paid editors). Everyblock, as far as I understand it, was really an attempt to automate distribution of data and information provided by local authorities.

The real question, which you touch on, is what do you want to talk to your neighbors about? Crime data is certainly one thing, but local email lists that I'm a part of indicate others:

* can I borrow a tool?
* anyone have a recommendation for a service (lawnmower, roof replacer, etc, etc)?
* I have free stuff in front of my house.
* I have friends who want to move into this neighborhood, anyone looking to sell?

I think that event organization is possible, given enough uptake.

Disclaimer, I used to work for a real estate brokerage that was pursuing a neighborhood model (8z.com) and was a competitor of NextDoor.
Unity deserves a lot of credit, but I do think it was Unreal 4 going to the $19 subscription w/source last year, and their drop to free (w/royalty) this year that has been driving the market.
They let you wee who your "lead" is in your list of offices. Usually that person will be the one who would know about why lines were drawn a certain way
This is the big key to open source. The proof is right there. The source is out there, so you can't turn that source evil, people can just take it and run with it around you if you try.
I think it's particularly misleading because some sites only run redirector services on domain.blah for the purpose of sending you to www.domain.blah.

Yes the problem should still be remedied, but no customer data flows through this service, and the connection would be renegotiated after the redirect on systems that may bear very little resemblance technically.
> we should cherish it, rather than moaning about how something "better" should have won.

There are certainly incentives for which that may be true. There is also the impending, monumental investment of effort into what is necessarily only a local maximum.
Wouldn't it be Heroku's job to update their SSL settings?
It's certainly lost on me. In my eyes every law is supposed to protect a society from rare events - for everything else we have something called common sense and shouldn't need lawyers explaining to us what should and should not go. If there's too much of a mismatch between that and the law, well, you got a problem with your law. ~1% of population imprisoned certainly points towards that as well.
The idea of SSHing anywhere from a page containing third-party JavaScript (the Google ad) is terrifying, to say the least.
Ask HN: How to get started with machine learning?
Machine learning seems like something that's become really critical to know; unfortunately it wasn't offered at my undergrad university. Can anyone recommend some books or online courses that are good to start with?

So far I've found these, but I have no idea if they're good or not:

* https://www.coursera.org/learn/machine-learning

* https://work.caltech.edu/lectures.html
I think their growth model is quite aggressive too.

They have "leads" in every neighborhood and they financially reward leads for bringing in new users.
Based on the context of the "free for content developers," it sounds to me like they mean it will be free for people developing add-on content for existing games, not that it will be free for people making their own games.

Thank you OP.
It's worse because there are far fewer hires.
just in case i'm misunderstood - i'm simply suggesting that he must have struggled intensely with this. it hurts him and he could drag the pain on and not face the music that he made a mistake. instead, he faced his mistakes head on and set a clear direction for his company.

it really sucks short term for the employees. but it sets them free and it's in their long term best interest too if they'll end up learning more and being more successful elsewhere.

so i give kudos that he didn't take the easy route of letting the mistake continue, looking in the mirror and waking up to a very difficult day.
Hm, also in Alameda, but my neighborhood seems to be mostly ads. Seems to be really hit or miss.
I saw Brendan's talk live at re:Invent. Highly recommended.
That's true. Have they contacted them now? Do these places which will only fix a problem if they're shamed into it actually know that they are on the wall of shame?

More to the point: has a widespread public vulnerability ever before been released alongside a list of everyone who is vulnerable to it? I can't recall such a thing ever happening.
In 2015 oversaturation simply isn't a problem in any tech market.

Social media and the internet allows you to identify duds a mile away. Those who care will use it. Those who don't won't be causing a crash any time soon.
Node - San Francisco Hiring full-time in SF (SoMA), contract-to-hire preferred:

* Backend Software Engineer (python)
* Data Engineer
* Data Scientist

We're a seed funded startup - 3 former Googlers - and we're tackling the messy world of business. Every day, people shake hands over million-dollar deals that can change the future of a company. From fundraising and acquisitions to partnerships, promotions and product placement, businesses get together and make new things happen. But there's no platform for them; they typically overload sales-focused CRMs, or are stuck in the world of spreadsheets and email. We're changing that. It's a fascinating data problem as we're mapping out professional and company-to-company networks, trying to understand who does business with whom and why, feeling our way around the underlying graph that nobody's explicitly mapped out before. From old school tie to the boardroom, why do people do business with each other? What are the trust and influence networks? What's the equivalent of PageRank for investors? What does it mean when a VP moves from one company to another? How do I get my startup funded?

We're trying to answer all these questions. We have an invite-only product already launched, we're building a team-facing solution, and we're expanding our data team to work on the platform that powers it all. Here's our team's take on the space: https://medium.com/@jennielees/the-joy-of-data-a1d3757d3567 Looking for fast learners who can get their hands dirty, quickly; who know when to duct tape and when to have 100% test coverage (think like a hacker, ship like a pro); who don't mind being wrong occasionally; and who are intrigued by the overall space we're in. We've had a good run from HN posts so far, hoping to continue it. You'd be single-digit employee and have a significant chance to influence our culture and growth, as well as immense impact on the product itself. We have a generous equity setup, though we prefer contract-to-hire so we can figure out if we'd work well together. For our data roles, we prefer Python. Graph-specific data experience is a bonus.

Ugh. I've seen servers with single-DES-only because they had a state-of-the-art config file in the 1990s that nobody had ever touched later. While I appreciate the intent behind efforts like this, I'm really uncomfortable with advice to configure your server with certain ciphers by name, and not make a plan for checking regularly whether that's still correct.

Does merely "!EXP" not work for this? The intent behind OpenSSL's groups is to avoid exactly this problem.
It's an important, but uncommon event. Be thankful for the fact she can come out and talk about it in the press. That right is your's as well here.

I think circular watches, in principle, look a lot nicer

It's worth mentioning that the roundness of watches came from their history of being miniaturised clocks, which standardised on the analogue dial with rotating hands for its display. Making the watch round to fit its display made sense, and people got used to round watches as being the norm.

Looking at it that way, a round smartwatch seems like an anachronism; there's no reason they have to be made round, and the technology behind them favours making them rectangular. Saying that smartwatches are better round is sort of like saying that LCDs should be made in the same circular or semi-spherical shape that CRTs were.

Telephones have also changed in shape, from the earliest "two sticks" design with separate transmitter/receiver, the symmetrically-shaped handset that remains common for landlines, and the mobile phones that gradually evolved from that shape to the rectangular slabs of smartphones today.

Thus, much like smartphones look nothing like traditional telephones, I don't think it's necessarily true that smartwatches will need to be round.
Ironically, a swappiness of 0 may be detrimental to the health of software running on a VM, as it severely limits what may be swapped out of memory. This means that the OOM killer ends up being more aggressive against the processes on your system.

A better value is one of "2" - this allows the Kernel to swap out data in response to memory pressure, without being overly aggressive about it.
> Your children walk home from a park without supervision?

It depends on the specific context. Park full of crack heads? Park had a spate of child rapes this month? No lighting for pedestrians? Might be neglectful to let kids navigate alone. Nice, normal park? Kids in pairs? Not neglect by any reasonable judgement.

You can't encode the the subtleties and particulars in statute. Hence the statutes are, and must be, open to interpretation and somewhat selective application by people who are held accountable for their judgement.
What hardware and software does the paperweight itself run? I understand it acts as just a thin client, but I'm curious to know what's inside.
Yeah, I am not huge fan of Ember but this is genuinely nice to have and I noticed it.
I find that variety helps: Use one thing for a while, then use something else. Right now I love my little notebook computer with a touch screen. That, and a good trackpad, allow me to keep my hands in a neutral position, which is like a loosely closed fist with the index fingers pointing outward.

My other issue is eyestrain. I can type text without looking at the screen, so I tend to prefer text based interfaces. And keyboard shortcuts are a way to rest from overuse of pointing devices. (i.e., overuse of our bodies)

Remember the urban legend about the QWERTY keyboard, that it was designed to slow us down in order to distract us from how slow typewriters were? Sometimes I wonder if the modern GUI has turned into something like that: Simple tasks require us to control the computer's sequence of operations through extensive manual and ocular labor, rather than us just telling it what we want it to do.

Just a weird thought, offered for amusement.
No thank you. The huge risk of a single customer finding out this deception and raising a storm on social media would completely reverse the potential benefit of having a more personal touch.

Maybe if used very carefully and very scarcely.

In the first case I read you as saying it's OK to commit a crime against a civilian in the United States as long as [the person didn't mean to] and in the second case that since not all .COM domains are used for commercial purposes and since this one seems to be information only at the moment; that our tax dollars which helps Universities across the United States to run can be used to fund whatever .COM sites students feel so inclined to register and for whatever reason they feel is justified.
I actually think a short handwritten note to thank someone for meeting with you or whatever is a nice gesture that stands out from the standard email and doesn't take much effort. Of course, that's real handwritten, not faux handwritten.

I do receive marketing materials from time to time that make a particular effort to stand out--sent FedEx or physical swag of some sort or gimmicky attempts at games/contests/etc. I admit they usually get me to at least look at the mailing though I'm probably no more likely to buy something.
It is arrogant to make sweeping statements wherein one presumes to be an arbiter of competence. If you think their arguments aren't sufficiently cogent or articulated, then suggest a counterargument rather than dismissing them on the basis of something other than their words.

Unlike climatology, superintelligence is not yet an established scientific field. It does not currently exist to study. There are no experts. There is no consensus to be had. Everyone is technically unqualified to speak on the subject.

Artificial intelligence experts today may be able to render guesses more accurate than most as to the arrival of superintelligence via the AGI path. However, this does not confer upon them any sort of authoritative high ground on the matter, nor does it place the issue squarely in their domain.

Doing so would be analogous to trusting a group of explosives experts circa 1944 in saying that we have nothing to fear from atomic weapons, because such devices are to utilize conventional explosive mechanisms in their operation.

You're kidding--right? So many state and local laws are fluff? If they sound good, and have no serious lobby interest these politicans will usually pass. In California, we have way too many "well meaning at the time" laws--that should be removed, or seriously modified.

I share one that irritated me. For years, in California anyone with a bachelors degree from a four year college, after taking eight required relate state courses could take
the realestate brokers examination.

The Realestate Lobbiests decided to change the law and require every applicant work under a realeste broker for two
years in order to sit for the broker's exam.

Gov. Schwarzenegger saw right through the bill. Knew there no
probems with the current system, and didn't want to limit
competition. He vetoed the bill.

A few years forward, Gov. Brown thought it sounded good and
passed the law. The result is we have less competition, and
the guys' who move a lot of property don't have the competition they used to have. Think about that when you try
to haggle over that 3% commission.

Anyways, since I followed that bill I will never vote just
on party lines. Back to state/local laws--we should be deleting laws every year after instead of holding competitions(Jarrod Huffman) for new bills? I heard California passes over 10,000 new laws/bylaws every year?
(Too tired to look it up, but that was the case a few years ago.)

You'll have to keep up to date in your server config in other areas, however, including disabling attack surface area and staying up to date and fully patched. Security is never set-it-and-forget-it and that's the real problem with "state-of-the-art config" files. After you fix this manually, find a way to automate such deployments and sign up for a bunch of mailing lists or RSS feeds. Monitoring would be nice but awareness is a start.
So SPIR-V is completely unrelated to the previous attempt at a portable IR layer for compute kernels, named SPIR? This is crazy. Why is Khronos trying to be confusing?
As a Canadian who relocated to Australia four years ago via California, it's refreshing to live in a society where the default expectation is that adults will behave as such. Consider:

* it's perfectly legal in Australia for adults to drink alcohol in public parks

* heck, your local council government will probably also have installed gas BBQs in your public park so you can cook sausages to enjoy with your beer

* no idiotic and humiliating TSA-style security theatre on domestic flights in Australia

* children walk to school all the time by themselves without their parents being investigated for neglect etc.

Government provided BBQs are inconceivable in California since (gasp!) the hot plate may burn someone and the lawyers wouldn't like that.

Similarly something as basic as providing public toilets at a place like Huntington Beach (in Orange County!) is a fiasco as the stalls don't have doors, because they might provide privacy for drug addicts shooting up. For the 99% who aren't drug addicts, tough luck, a right to privacy while you do your business obviously isn't worth anything anyway.

I could go on, but from a distance the American claim to be the "land of the free and the home of the brave" is increasingly farcical.
The problem here is not the condition of the sidewalk. IMO the problem is too much immunity on the part of the CPS agents. Threatening to abduct a child from their parents in this situation, if they don't sign some absurd contract to not let their children walk outside, should open them up to a lawsuit that should most certainly win, and the agent making the threat should lose their job. Instead, in the current legal environment the lawsuit would be dismissed and the CPS agent is praised for doing a good job!
Always read the small print :)
