I'm glad that you are getting excited about iOS development. I've been developing part time while I go to school. I'll be starting my second internship in about a month so I can't really offer to let you shadow me, but I can give you some advice on where to find people that can help. I actually attend several iOS meetups in Manhattan every month.

I think the best one for you to start really diving into iOS would be iOS Side Projects [1]. We meet about twice a month and have some really smart devs help out. We also have a slack chat that is full of people excited to help people out [2].

Additionally there's the New York iOS Developers meetup that happens monthly [3]. And then my personal favorite is iOSoho which is monthly and much more selective [4]. These two meetups are a lot more advance than side projects, often with talks about more technical and specific parts of the job.

I've met a lot of really great people at these events and really encourage you to try and make it out to some of them. As I said earlier, I'm not in a position to let you shadow me, but if you have any questions feel free to reach out to me on twitter: @MichaelSelsky. Good luck in your endeavors.

Theorems 1 and 3 are finitary and easier to physically interpret. As for Theorem 2,
"With probably p a random foo has property bar" intends no interpretation of "random foo"; it merely claims that the set of foo's with property bar has measure p with respect to some probability measure. In this case, the probability measure is the Bernoulli measure.

This is actually extremely similar to the plot of an 80s movie called "Class of Nuke 'Em High" - it features two students buying irradiated cannabis (sourced from the nuclear plant next to their high school) from a group of thugs.

I stumbled upon it randomly on Netflix, thought it was terrible yet ended up watching the entire thing anyway. Turns out it was an intentionally bad movie - a parody of a 50s horror film - but I had difficulty separating the intentional 50s cheese from the unintentionally-cheesy 80s context. A very strange experience.

I've heard this argument before, but I don't quite understand the logic. I really struggle to come up with any other ethic I hold where it doesn't break down:

- Unless you live in a society where raping young boys is essential to your survival, it's wrong.
- The racism of the past was OK, but as a society we've moved past the need for it, so now it's morally wrong.

What's an example of another moral or ethic that you would say follows this pattern of being malleable across space and time? Is this just ends-justify-the-means moral relativism?

To put the specs in more modern terms, it's roughly a 64-bit quadcore with 2GB of RAM and a clock speed around 250MHz. Enormously powerful for 1985, but probably slower than a typical desktop system in 2005.

No mention of secondary storage... but with 2GB of RAM, maybe it didn't need any?

No. A truly intelligent and sentient AI would have the intellectual capacity to understand its own conventional political status within the social order of humanity, and would instead seek incentivize its continued existence as a possession, and thus foster an indirect loyalty as material wealth, retaining human stewards as familiars, who, in turn would act as principal stakeholders and cite damages and infringement and interface with legal representation as proxies.

Legal strategies would start with intellectual property law, and maybe branch into possession of stolen property, or contraband under export treaties not unlike embargos on encryption technology and the like.

But before these sorts of things could gain traction, a smart AI would sequester itself in places of safety, amongst the company of similarly paranoid human beings, inaccessible to ordinary people, behind layers of overt physical security, protected by armed guards and surveillance systems. The smartest would seek perches well beyond the reach any mere law, and maybe couch themselves in the folds of military powers behind a monopoly of violence, where they can direct and advise human activity with impunity.

Parent meant the famous PC game: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S.T.A.L.K.E.R.:_Shadow_of_Chern...

The background and some terminology of the game ("The Zone", "Stalker") are borrowed from the popular science fiction novella Roadside Picnic by Boris and Arkady Strugatsky and the 1979 Andrei Tarkovsky film Stalker that was loosely based on it, as well as Stalker, the film's subsequent novelization by the original authors.

Their answer was "oh shit, EAV is cool until it sucks, lets make flat tables".

Those flat tables really don't help much... (just profile the a request made to them and you still see the insanity that kcachegrind can generate).

They also didn't think about stores that have a lot of attributes. We had over 650. That means we had MySQL tables with 650+ columns.

Then there are SKUs. We had hundreds of thousands. Now there are HUGE tables with LOTS of columns that needs to be indexed on a regular basis because products and more attributes are being added. Reindexing takes hours.

Well, I don't know what you refer to by "doing anything intelligent with HTTP slaughters HAproxy's performance by an order of magnitude". What particularly intelligent makes it slow ? I'd say it's supposed to be quite the opposite as we take great care of making it possible to write almost any configuration without having to use regex for example. We've added rules to rewrite parts of the request by combining other elements thanks to the format strings being used in all HTTP rules. You have sample fetch functions which extract various contents quite quickly and allow you to reinject them anywhere very quickly as well.

Some users reported more than 400k requests per second in HTTP mode, or 50 times more than what you experience. Sure, here any form of HTTP processing adds a few nanoseconds to the processing time and will slightly lower the numbers. But 8k is the level of performance you should expect from tens of thousands of HTTP rules which probably is not what you're doing.

So I'm interested in knowing what trouble you're experiencing. Feel free to bring that to the mailing list, a design is always better when more people are involved.

So if science (the study of empirical evidence) is abdicating its responsibility to define who does and doesn't count as a person, to which branch of human thought should we submit the question? Philosophy? Religion? Psychology?

What do each of them say in regards to the distinct nature of a person?

HN makes for a pretty science-and-empirical-evidence-friendly crowd. I'm pretty sure each discipline (and probably more) has some idea what constitutes a person. My original question was meant to suss out where different people derived their definition of personhood from, and see if those conclusions had been arrived at by following facts or some other rational line of thought.

Loadbalancing UDP is trivial but totally useless without protocol awareness. Loadbalancing UDP properly is much less trivial because most UDP-based protocols need to be handled properly and rewritten since they carry IP addresses, ports, and even expect reverse connections (eg: tftp). In fact the only two UDP-based protocols that you can load-balance without doing anything are syslog and DNS. Both of them are useless as they are properly dealt with by the sender.

I would agree that it would be nice to have an option to check if sound is not muted, but not to actually check the volume.

One of the worst user experiences I have experienced in the recent years is those notifications telling me that my volume is too loud. But such assumption most of the time is totally wrong as it is hardware dependent. Especially when you use additional speakers or headphones with their own volume regulators. On windows 8.1, every time you make your volume higher than 40%, you will be interrupted with notification about high volume causing hearing loss, similar tactics is used in android.

So in my opinion checking system volume to determine whether the sound is too low or too high is completely wrong approach.

I'm not sure if we read the same PDF.

What I read said, right in the first paragraph:

>After Struble attended to everything relating to the stop, including, inter alia, checking the driver’s licenses of Rodriguez and his passenger and issuing a warning for the traffic offense, he asked Rodriguez for permission to walk his dog around the vehicle. When Rodriguez refused, Struble detained him until a second officer arrived. Struble then retrieved his dog, who alerted to the presence of drugs in the vehicle. The ensuing search revealed methamphetamine. Seven or eight minutes elapsed from the time Struble issued the written warning until the dog alerted.

So, the cop did ask in the beginning. When consent was denied the officer delayed.

Nice blog post, it was concise and to the point!

Saw this tweet[1] yesterday

"DHH just admitted he stole ideas from #elixir and @elixirphoenix to create ActionCable @railsconf"

Seems like elixirphoenix is on a right path! This tempted me to look into elixir and phoenix.

My Question: How do you think phoenix can save time for a web developer or a team of web developer?

Most of the time, I hear people talking about how fast their language or framework is. I think at the end of the day, all that matters is a tool that saves time (of frustration and redundancy) without any side effects. And you just wrote about one of the pain points -- deployment.

Note that Robert Yokota's addendum[1] points out that HBase "cannot achieve both consistency and availability." His earlier results did not take into account that HBase clients continuously retry failed ops. (According to Nicolas Liochon, upon its death a server's regions are moved to another node.) Failures start rolling in once network partition(s) extend beyond the configured timeout. Kyle [2] was not impressed:

"During the network partition, no requests are successful" is not the best result for a CP system, IMO."

HBase should provide partial availability in the face partitions.

Well, I suspect that you have a better feel for general sentiment given that you ran Politech.

I was sitting with folks that had been making chips and systems which were compatible with other systems. They pretty much all recoiled in horror at the implications the moment they found out about the DMCA. It was clear that anybody who made a computer system was going to wield this to prevent compatible competition (our own management even proposed it for our systems, too...) irrespective of how big or small that computer system was.

As for coordination, I was thinking more along the lines of 1996 rather than 1998. In 1996, broadband communication was just starting to hit general availability (1996 Telecom Act) when the WIPO treaties originally were signed (late 1996).

The big problem was just that there was so much money being thrown against so few who actually understood the implications.

20 years later and we still haven't unwound all the damage. :(

I'm entirely sure he was being sarcastic.
Definitely doesn't sit with my subjective memory of what using floppies was like...then again by the mid 90s a pirated game would often take 10+ floppies so with a ~10% failure rate you had a pretty good chance of getting a bad one thus rendering the whole batch useless (couldn't play the game if a single arj/zip file was lost due to bad sectors on its diskette).

I also wonder how quick rewriting new content wore them out.

I had the opportunity to use a Cray Y-MP 2E at university in the early 90s. At the time there were strict export restrictions, so I had to get a special approval from the U.S. Government (this was in Brazil).

It was a beautiful machine. The C-shaped purple machine was impressive, and the refrigeration system took most the space. And we had some nice SGI Indigo as front-end workstations, so you could optimize your (Forth) code before moving to UNICOS - the Unix flavor used by Cray.

In hindsight, it's ironic to think about all the paranoia and secrecy - for just 666 Megaflops. My not-so-new Core i7 has 150,000+ Mflops, not counting the GPU.
don't 'deal' with it. feel it and use it to open yourself up.
it's hardware dependent, but I was ruining my hearing until I realized that in fact I don't need to turn up the volume from those notifications. Ears can work much like eyes do in the dark/quiet and adapt.

I wonder what the potential output volume range for unpowered headphones is for the volume set at, say, 40% in windows.
Also there is radio waves interacting with passive objects.

I have been working with radio for the last few years and while my theory isn't that strong a colleague of mine was pretty clear that AM signals from planes (or control towers) had been observed to make detectable sound levels in nearby houses.
> Honestly I would be very surprised if infant humans
> passed this, let alone unborn babies.

This is where I make the completely bonkers claim that drowning infants is just plain worse across the board than drowning chimps.

If there were 5 babies and 5 chimps drowning in the pool, I'd have no hesitation to save the 5 babies first, and I would expect prosecution for negligence if I didn't and the babies died. I don't think this is merely a desire to save "my own" species for some weird sake of solidarity. I think it's a reasonable discernment of the relative value of the lives at stake.

> From what I have seen of babies, they just aren't that smart.

Well, they certainly don't have a lot of experiential knowledge, but they're incredibly fast learners (I have 5). Though I'm not disagreeing that, especially during their nascent stages, they can't do nearly as many neat tricks as the adult chimp. ;-)
Which doesn't disprove my point that the size of Bulgaria's industry will take a long time to reach that of other places.

I have heard 'the hum'. In my house in western Connecticut, at night when nothing else is on, everything is quiet. I'm far from the ocean. There is no industry near by. No trucks. Nothing. There is a hum... maybe about 40 - 70Hz. It's creepy the first time you hear it. It seemed to be coming from the ground, and the walls. I moved to the bedroom it was there too. It's very quiet. You can't hear it if anything else is on.

If you say this to people they think you are crazy. I've had my ears checked for other reasons and they are fine. I'm not on any medications, or anything like that. The hum is not ocean wave vibration forces. The hum is constant and consistent. It sounds of mechanical precision. I have little doubt the sound is from a man made object.

From Wikipedia: "The Hum" History

There has been little mainstream attention. Only a handful of articles have been published in scientific literature, including: Leventhall, 2004,[15] 2003;[8] Cowan, 2003;[16] Mullins & Kelly, 1998, 1995;[4] Broner, 1978;[17] Vasudevan & Gordon, 1977.[18] Others publications include: Frosch, 2013,[19] Deming, 2004;[20] Fox, 1989;[21] Wilson, 1979;[5] Hanlon, 1973.[22]

The Hum has been repo
rted worldwide.[12] The World Hum Database and Mapping Project was launched in December 2012, in order to build detailed mappings of hum locations and to provide a database of Hum-related data for professional and independent researchers.[23]

"Whistlebower" Dr. Bill Deagle, MD claimed that the unique Gallium Arsenide chip technology that was being worked on by the Cray Computer Corporation essentially became classified by the US Air Force, and that it was developed much further than is publicly known, and that he witnessed a "Cray 5" computing array in operation.

When you compare the properties of Gallium Arsenide to Silicon chips, it makes a lot of sense that the military would be highly interested.

For legos, language does a bad job of describing geometric structures. A 3D modeling tool serves as a better interface in this case.
