What's your advice about our startup? It's really solve problem?
Fair use doesn't remove a copyrighted work's protections. What ever gave you that idea?

Think of it in criminal law terms: it's like the "affirmative defense" that having a medical marijuana card gives you in states that have such programs. Pot is still illegal, but if you get caught with some, and have a card (and are compliant with the restrictions of your local MMJ program), then the charges are dismissed.

It doesn't change the law; it changes how the law applies to you.
> but all these fat-haters were doing was expressing their own opinions amongst themselves on a containment sub.

Untrue. They were posting stolen, posted elsewhere, and original pictures of obese people just to make fun of them. That was the entire sub's purpose, to victimise and bully people. You could go on that sub any day of the week for months and that was their entire front page, pictures of fat people and hateful comments.

How long do you honestly think a sub would last if it took random pictures of black people and then everyone posted hateful comments? Even a week?

There's absolutely nothing "contained" about what they were doing. Plus they would invade other subs and threads, brigading those with differing opinions to themselves.
This sounds like a feature request in favor of an 'offline apps' drawer somewhere :)

As for the DNS lookup, not sure what it does, but couldn't Firefox just fall back to looking at the offline store if it can't connect to the site? (where it looks for updates by checking the manifest)

Is that typically a problem for a plain hash? There's no random data to be leaked or generated poorly, and there's typically not going to be any private information that could be leaked through a timing attack.
That's how we built our app, you tell Cinder it's chicken and it's the time/temperature profile. You can also manually control temperature precisely from 70F to 525F, and the even high heat sear has amazed many chefs. We looked at steam but it's challenging because water reservoirs limit cooking time, or running plumbing is beyond reach for most homes (but something restaurants do). I'd like to build one in the future. Meanwhile, Cinder is $499 (email me for a HackerNews discount: eric@cindercooks.com).
Your body will adapt/strengthen + you need to work out some better ergonomics. Also maybe a 10 hour shift for physical labour is not a good idea :D
Like you, i am working on a big project and have a day job. That job is running my own steel company. I realy enjoy the learning and the problem solving. And we use the software in our office. It runs for months without glitches so i think its not that bad. And now i am building a web application for my clients. So yes, it is possible and it is fun. And sometimes it is hard. And if it fails, the next project will be better. Oh, i use Lisp and postgresql, that makes it even more fun.
Cool. Keep at it!
Find a copy of The Millionaire Next Door and read it. Particularly the last third about what happens inside of families where the parents have money.

Long story short, the "one big mistake in life" quote is exactly right.
I very much remember what happened to my own set: I left them in a classroom in middle school before moving away. I was at the age where I didn't use them for much anymore, but I did like to put little projects together every now and then. There was a school project where I brought in everything and stashed them in a closet somewhere, but completely forgot about them after the project was completed. After I had moved from that town it dawned on me one day what I had done and I was very, very sad to realize that I would probably never see the sets again.
One of the reasons why this would work is that you'd need to befriend a rival spectator before you enter the arena for the match just to get entry inside the stadium. Spending some time with a rival spectator would make one realize that even the rival team's supporters are football fans too at the end of the day. Great initiative !

Couple of points:

1)Zenefits has always known this could happen or at least they should have. You have to play nice with ADP. Because if they don't work with you, you are dead.

2)Zenefits has a super young CEO who doesn't know what he is doing. Where is David Sacks in all of this? Isn't he the adult supervision here? Maybe he hasn't run anything at this scale before? Maybe he and his Yammer gang don't know how benefits and healthcare work?

3)What were the VCs who invested at $4.5B thinking? Any technical due diligence would have brought this up. You had to clear this as a diligence item before you put a dollar into the company.

4)The lawsuit is a shakedown. Its time for ADP to collect its dues. Its nothing more than that. I expect ADP to extract a huge premium and then play nice with Zenefits in an out of court settlement. Everyone will have a face saving PR release after that. But isn't it interesting that this happens after they pick-up their $500M round? I have heard rumors this was going to happen in September last year. ADP waited until now. What a pest.

4)Time for Parker to go and be replaced with someone who has run billion dollar software companies before. And that's not Sacks.
Suniva uses prison labor for solar panel manufacturing
The first target market for this type of memory won't be best-buy retail units, but instead embedded in low-power/small battery devices. Smart Phones are where I'd expect these to first make an appearance - so 10s of millions of units over the next five years is a pretty inconsequential target, particularly if they are just licensing their IP.

In your various comments you display such a startling misunderstanding and ignorance of how science itself works that it must be hard for anyone educated on these subjects to know where to begin.

The accusations you mention completely flopped and the "accused" were exonerated by half a dozen independent committees and investigations.

Climate scientists do not on the whole make a lot of money for their level of technical skill and training- if any climate scientist was "in it for grant money", they simply would switch to data analysis in the private industry or another field. Climate science is a diverse and huge field with many research areas that existed long before our awareness of climate change, and researchers' careers do not depend on the current climate change consensus- it's not like every university would simply fire their Earth Sciences department, or the NSF would stop funding Earth Science grants, if the climate was not warming. Additionally, you don't seem to understand how the grant process works- grants are awarded before results are obtained, chosen by committees of scientists, and a majority of climate science grants do not even write proposals concerned with future predictions. Finally, the irony is of course, the handful of denialist scientists are the only people who have been explicitly (and universally) linked to outside conflict of interest funding in their work.

Al Gore did not "help invent" any part of climate science, he merely brought popular attention to the issue.

Your failure boils down to the following: you have no perspective of the magnitude, operations, or workings of the scientific community. You have accused tens of thousands of scientists, safely employed at universities across the world, in countries with wildly different politics and governmental situations than the US, of conspiring together to produce dozens of scientific papers every week and an entire worldwide network of data collection, from satellites to buoys to promote a false theory, all of which gives them essentially nothing to gain.

Have you ever read a journal in the Earth Sciences? Can you even name one? If not: you haven't even begun to examine the scientific matters at hand. When you realize how wholly out of your field you are, it should become clear that your concerns are rooted in anti-intellectualism and rabid ideology, and nothing else.
I'm like you that I prefer to learn the theory before brute force memorizing. Just get a good grammar book and use it besides Duolingo, and you're golden.
Matlab has a neural network toolbox that you can use to train small recurrent networks.

If you were planning an ideological cleansing, wouldn't your first target be something that no one wants to defend?

Of course, often, ideological cleanses aren't even planned. They just happen organically as advocates and those in power become incapable of separating their ideology from common principles.
This is what I do. I worked hard for three years, pay myself a wage thats in the minimum pay bracket and will travel until the company money is gone. I'm not give a cent more than I have to to those crooks.
I see this as two camps. One is helping people cook and get comfortable and have fun with that, and the other is based on the new food science of temperature. This is most commonly known today as sous vide and implemented with an immersion circulator. The food quality really is 10x better, for example you can keep meat proteins below the temperature they seize up and push out moisture, and the experience is something you can't go back to normal cooking from. Because the food doesn't overcook* you have an hour of flexibility, if you love cooking you can use this to try more complex sides and time it right. If you're busy, you can stay calm when your spouse is 30 minutes late. It's like when the DVR came around and you could pause live TV, and no one could go back. Cinder takes advantage of precision temperature cooking to let you do these things, and unlocks other kinds of unattended cooking. You can set onions to a caramelization temperature and walk away, yes you could replicate that yourself if you wanted to hover and stir for 30 minutes, but this is like delegating to a sous chef.

*This is a slight simplification. Food will break down and turn mushy, but nearly everything has an expanded range for being done. Which means ending the tyranny of the clock.
How is that bad

How is it bad that people are paying for services on multi-year contracts and the quality has dropped in the middle of that period to a level where it is literally unusable in many cases? I'd say it's "complete failure to provide the fundamental part of the contracted services" bad.

how is 4G more profitable ?

Aside from everyone having to buy an entire new generation of devices to use it?

As for plan pricing, I can't tell you, because the sites of several of the mobile operators are now so bad that I literally can't find any information about pricing on them after the five minutes I've just spent looking.

I'm more than happy for capacity to be repurposed towards it.

Well, I'm happy that you're happy, but that repurposing still screws everyone who doesn't have the option to switch over right now so they get a worse service than before even though they're still paying for it and (short of actual legal action) probably still locked into their contracts.
Hmmmm.

I find it kind of hard to take an advanced robotic researcher seriously who still uses CRT monitors and low-bandwidth, 2 channel analog scopes.

I could forgive the scopes--if they were one of the really old, very low-noise front-end analog scopes. It's really hard to find a digital scope that has the same level of low-noise performance before about $80K. But these look like your bog-standard, single channel 20MHz analog scope.
The stated justification is not about the nastiness of the opinions expressed on that subreddit, but about their behavior in terms of harassing other members. There are plenty of equally odious subs that are still up and running.

If you read the thread, between all the torches and pitchforks there are a fair number of comments supporting that viewpoint, for instance:

"I love how everyone is saying no, but they actually have [harassed users in other subreddits]. Most recently someone took pics from a /r/keto post and not only posted to FPH, but also got in a huge argument with a lot of members there. That's not the only time I've seen FPH in the wild." http://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/39bpam/removi...

"I got this PM from a /r/fatpeoplehate mod for having a BMI of 25.7" (vicious and obscene content elided) http://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/39bpam/removi...

Additionally it is implemented using the same API as systemd providing socket activation compatibility to also provide lazy activation of the server.

Couldn't immediately tell from reading the source - but is this to say that it uses the sd-* APIs directly, that it implements behavior compatible with sd_listen_fds, or some other form of "socket activation" like superserver or fd-holding?
> It's racist to only quote statistics that support one's racist point of view.

> And it is racist to be credulous of statistics that support one's racist point of view.

Note that these are kind of circular. You've judged that the speaker's point of view is racist, and therefore his use of statistics is racist.

Also note that, to a first approximation, everybody only quotes statistics that support their own point of view, and everyone is credulous of statistics that support their own point of view.

It's easy to think of reasons why statistics would be biased in favor of showing IQ differences between races. It's also easy to think of reasons why statistics would be biased against that. In a world where most people don't believe in IQ differences between races - or even a world where people don't want to look like they believe in them - there's going to be publication bias against that direction. That's true even if there are no true IQ differences between races.

> Finally, the concept of race itself is socially constructed, and therefore not objective.

Imagine a world where there was a single gene which added ten IQ points to someone. (Which is definitely not the world we live in.) Imagine it was a mutation which arose in a single location a thousand years ago. It didn't become fixed in that population, and it's spread outside. But it's certainly more common in people who were born in that region, whose parents and grandparents were born there, than in people born on the other side of the world.

In this world, it seems to me that race would be just as much a social construct, and therefore not objective. But it would also be true that there would be a strong correlation between IQ and race.

Seriously dude, go back to the conspiracy theories. Maybe go out, meet an actual climate scientist and read the actual scientific literature. You might learn a thing or two.

The science behind climate change has nothing to do with any personality or politics and everything to do with physics and atmospheric sciences. Or are you going to debate that the radiative forcing of an atmosphere with CO2 at 450ppm is magically less than one with 250ppm?
They also published a short blog post on this at:

https://engineering.linkedin.com/pinot/open-sourcing-pinot-s...

"At LinkedIn, it [Pinot] powers more than 50+ applications such as Who Viewed My Profile, Who Viewed My Jobs and many more, with interactive-level response times. Pinot ingests close to a Billion per day in real time and processes 100 million queries per day."
The LEGO catalog always had this option. You could specify the bricks and colors you wanted and place an order to them directly. Now you just do it through their website.
Perhaps they also knew that other bad actors had already discovered this particular 0-day and wanted it to be outed?
Both implementations are incorrect as they needlessly mutate the input list:

List<String> namesNotStartingWithB = new ArrayList<>();
for (String name : names) {
if (!name.startsWith("B")) {
namesNotStartingWithB.add(name);
}
}

Imagine a scenario where you're filtering one of the arguments to a method: the input will be mutated with no indication to the caller (or in the method signature), causing bugs, iterator invalidation etc.
I agree with just about every bit of that :) Thanks for the response! I think this makes the most sense, remote with some sort of local caching. Leads to a bit more implementation though and questions like:

1) What happens when they post something but don't have internet, would it store locally then sync up when it can? Or, just not allow posting without internet (curious how many people workout with an iPod Touch).

2) What happens when we get a new call from the remote server, kill the local table entirely or have some field on each record like "synced" that lets you check for records that need to be updated still?

Anyways, just a few things like that but thanks a ton, you gave me some more things to think about :)

The "right way" is hard, and more likely to be painful, certainly. But when you're done, you're done. The "forgiveness>permission" way has the added downside of your customers getting screwed too, and likely considering litigation.
Thanks! I'm really enjoying seeing the huge variety of domains people have applied char-rnn to. I haven't anticipated response at this scale, to both the original blog post and the code release.

In terms of learning, I would also encourage people to try the materials from our CS231n class - this is a class I taught at Stanford last quarter with my adviser. It's technically about Convolutional Networks, but most of the class material is building up generic Neural Networks, backprop, and so on. You can also try our IPython Notebook assignments.

Syllabus with slides too: http://cs231n.stanford.edu/syllabus.html

Another good pointer is Andrew Ng's Coursera class - that's a thorough introduction as well.
You mean the one who recently published this: Curry JA, 2014: Climate science: Uncertain temperature trends. Nature Geoscience, 7, 83-84. (http://www.nature.com/ngeo/journal/v7/n2/full/ngeo2078.html)

Weird how a "quack" manages to get her work into top-tier peer-reviewed journals, isn't it.

When one side of an argument descends to ad hominem as their first move, it is a sure sign their side has lost the argument.

Unfortunately, ACC is likely real and deserves a strong policy response. People like you, who admit to having no actual argument for their position, are actively damaging the cause of science and good policy.
