FWIW, if you hear people complaining about how things are "feminized", this is the sort of thing they mean, rather than the images that probably immediately leap to mind... a social science discipline that (quite correctly!) has known about how important good mothering is for a long time, but is just recently (not quite 2015, research on this line has been ongoing, but not for that long either) getting around to discovering that the standard fathering is good too. And note that the reason that fathering's importance has been missed is basically that it's not mothering, and scored poorly on metrics that measure mothering, with significant casual assumptions built into the system that mothering === parenting.

There's no changes in science or technology recently that would lead to this being any easier to discover or quantify now. From a strictly scientific perspective, it's actually quite shameful that only now is this being uncovered scientifically, and points to deep and systematic problems in the relevant disciplines. Consider than from an evo-psych perspective, even as questionable as it may be sometimes, the hypothesis that fathers are just generally not very good parents should be immediately suspect, not suspect decades later.

As a people that does exactly that since a lot of years just for fun, to be paid for continue identifying plants of the world will be a interesting change, but be aware that they will need to compete with unpaid positions right now. Their main problem will be to make people want to pay for something that they have for free (in an amateur base). Helpmefind for example is still trying to make money with this type of business.
You have to look at the terms before making that judgement. It seems very unlikely that it's a straight equity deal.

You could imagine a preferred offering with a 1x liquidation preference and some modest return, for example. The details really matter here.
Apple threatens to remove music if bands don’t agree to new royalty policy
I was extremifying a bit my comparison; but the basic point is that the 10x price difference is in no way proportionate to any real infrastructure costs that would be necessary to guarantee safer (or non-exploitive) product standards. I can see the same no-name, barely-fitting (but otherwise generally quite adequate) apparel products from the major discounters costing 2x or 3x if produced at gold standards (environmentally or labor-wise); but not 10x.

That is, at the end of the day, 80% of the 10x overhead you pay at the premium retailers is just for the brand, not for safer products or better labor conditions (which are at best a secondary matter of concern to these outlets).
I don't understand what kind of NN they used on the painting and the photo of the antelopes(?). What was it pre-trained to recognise?

EDIT: in clarification, to pick out abstract features of an image, it must obviously be trained on many images. I'm curious about how it picked out seemingly unique characteristics of the painting, and what images it was trained on to get there.

Not really when you take into account their backing of Oracle in making API's copyrighted.
A lot of women, when asked what they're looking for in a male partner say they really desire someone who is funny. Obviously, it's generally more enjoyable to be around a funny person than a boring one, but could it also be that funnyness/humor, being an important trait in parenting, is being selected for that reason? Very fascinating.
That was before OpenJDK. There are a few ways you can license Java. You may freely implement it yourself, but then you must pass the TCK and abide by Oracle's field-of-use restrictions, you may negotiate a license from Oracle (Sun at the time) for their source code and use of the technology, or you can do whatever you like with OpenJDK (although to use the Java trademark you probably need to conform to some other requirements)[1]. BTW, Oracle/Sun's JDK is OpenJDK with a few advanced monitoring/profiling add-ons.

In any case, OpenJDK was released in May 2007, and Android unveiled in November later that year and made available only a year later. The reason Google used Apache Harmony was because they couldn't reach a licensing agreement with Sun and chose not to use OpenJDK because of its GPL license, believing phone vendors would reject it.

As Google probably wanted to have a non-standard edition of Java, it's unlikely that Sun would have licensed it to them (or they would have required a new standard being formalized first). Their best option was to use OpenJDK, but they didn't. They wrote their own runtime -- which, to this day, is at a great performance disadvantage compared to OpenJDK -- suffers annoying incompatibilities and is a few Java versions behind, all in order to not use GPL software.

Was Google right in thinking that phone manufacturers not have put up with GPL? I'm sure that at the time that's what the phone makers told them. Perhaps Android wouldn't have taken off if they had tried to shove the GPL down their throats. But I believe that with the iPhone breathing down their necks and no better alternative, the phone vendors would have yielded. We would have ended up not only with a much better, faster, more compatible Android, but with the most ubiquitous operating system on the planet being truly free. This also would have prevented the Oracle-Google lawsuit.

Instead, we're left with a slow OS that's years behind embedded Java, not truly open (as closed-source modifications are made by vendors), and a legal battle that some believe may have far-reaching consequences. All because people are afraid of the GPL.

[1]: For example, I believe (though I'm not sure) that IBM's and Aicas's JDKs follow the first choice (maybe the second), Azul's Zing JVM the second, and Azul's Zulu the third.

Games were stable enough before. And the stability of an average game in the first few month definitely went down with the introduction of on-demand online updates. Not only that, it's not entirely uncommon to see half-gigabyte patches.
It's no more derogatory than Yanks. If people are losing sleep over that term they probably need to find a new cause to be offended over for all the people who don't care.
Sure, but is there any evidence that paying more for a brand name is going to avoid that? Nike doesn't exactly have the best reputation with this sort of thing.
FWIW using USB-OTG I can plug keyboard, mouse, & Ethernet into my Android phone - no special software needed.
Actually, "The Last of Us" is a pretty bad offender as far as camera and motion sickness go. For first person games, there's probably no solution, but third person games like "The Last of Us" could use some camera management that would eliminate or greatly reduce motion sickness. It doesn't. It's all manual and needs readjusting constantly. Which is better than the camera rotating constantly, but only slightly as the end effect while playing is almost the same.

EDIT: Crash Bandicoot on the other hand managed the camera extremely well without creating any motion sickness.

I may be just a bit tired right now but I had to keep nipping to the top of the article to remind myself which was foo and which was bar.

There are good times to use foo and bar, rather than more self-documenting style placeholder names, but this was not one of them for me.
Postgres provides really nice features for non-relational data these days, though. JSON columns are nice. Hstore is fantastic. And you can even do pubsub. All without introducing another database system into your stack. Is it perfect for all software? I'm sure not. But 99% of everything I ever need can be had with Postgres + Elasticsearch.
"Private link message" is really stupidly designed: when the recipient clicks the link, it is invalidated.

No "let's see what this is, maybe better answer later" and even worse: you're denying the recipient his very own mail archive.
No no no no. This is not right.

1. If you debug with this, you're debugging different code to what blew up in production for example. Subtle timing issues wiped out instantly and memory ballooning masked etc.

2. If you leave it in for prod, it's going to have masses of call overhead.

You can debug well with assertions, logging and unit tests. There is no need for this. I rarely have to spin up a debugger these days.

A child, especially one in the teen/pre-teen range, will be far more open with a friend than an authority figure. Even if you want the parents to clearly be the authority figure, there needs to be a mature adult friend figure to be there to be told the things that the parents should be but would otherwise not be told about (after which the friend can either tell the parents or push the child to tell the parents).

Even without the 38" year the average rainfall still makes the argument work; quoting a 4" deficit and singling out the highest year is disingenuous. The lowest year was also an outlier.
Embedded yes, but modern mobile is miles away from this. ~1GHz dual core, triple issue out-of-order CPU with 512MB-1GB RAM and maybe 10-20GB storage? That was a reasonable desktop PC not that many years ago.
I'm sorry you find it offensive that there are "claims of sexism in OSS and tech." Maybe you should find an industry that doesn't care about gender equality or making strides to create a better working atmosphere for everyone. I'm sure whatever that industry is, will appreciate your opinions and political incorrectness.

Maybe you should try academia?

Open-sourcing Swift doesn't really have anything to do with being able to run iOS apps outside of iOS. Objective-C has been open-source for a very long time, and this would at most only bring Swift to the level of openness of obj-c. There's countless libraries unrelated to Swift that you'd have to also open-source to be able to run iOS apps as-in on an entirely open source stack.
lets break it down:

1) Posts views on twitter that are controversial to say the least, e.g., 'Al Qaeda was "getting too moderate,"'

-- Not illegal, but will definitely put you on the Gov radar, it's probably at this point he had some surveillance on him (through web or otherwise)

2) On two consecutive days in March, a Port Authority police officer saw Mr. Saleh walking on the George Washington Bridge and looking around.

-- Circumstantial at best

3) evidence that he was "translating ISIL propaganda into English."

-- Not illegal that i know of, though they don't specify if he's not a native speaker. If he could read it already in Arabic why is it a big deal that he's translating it?

4) receiving laboratory training in electrical circuitry at his college

-- he's a student..."honing skills that the complaint called 'useful in the construction of an explosive device.'" Conjecture and profiling

5) conducted extensive online searches for materials for an explosive device, the complaint says, including Crock-Pots, beads, propane, vacuum cleaners, lamps and watches. A watch was the only one of those materials that the complaint says he bought.

-- In my embedded systems class in undergrad we made a 'movie-prop bomb', had a countdown timer, monitored wires, display, etc. Fun project, i'm sure a lot of my searches during that time got me on a few lists.

6) walk into a spy store in Queens that sells microphone detectors and hidden cameras, though he left without any bags. He later searched online for disguises, including beards and wigs.

-- as the article states he was being followed by agents, i'm sure that's enough to make anyone paranoid

7) conversation between a confidential informant and Mr. Saleh in May, during which Mr. Saleh said, “Well I’m in N.Y. and trying to do an op,”

-- this is probably the most damning piece of evidence, but it relies pretty heavily on the quality of the informant

8) agents saw Mr. Saleh and two unnamed co-conspirators try to elude a surveillance car in their green Jeep Cherokee by speeding through a parking lot with their lights off and pulling over. Later, around 4 a.m., near the Whitestone Expressway in Queens, Mr. Saleh and one of the co-conspirators got out of the Jeep and ran toward the surveillance car

-- he was being followed and got scared, could have been running toward it in an effort to confront whoever it was to tell them he'd had enough

I'm not saying there isn't a case here, but a lot of it seems shaky, a few pieces got him on their radar and after that, well, if you search hard enough you'll usually find what you're looking for

tl;dr: uBlock Origin
I always assumed the purpose of Chrome was to spy on us. So I don't use it.
AFAIK: U-Block Origin is a fork of U-Block which hopes to stay in sync with U-Block, but maintain a per-site block/allow feature which was removed from the newer version of U-Block.
If your priority is to improve the quality of the software that people use, I don't think you should use copyleft.

If you think that quality is important, but that as important as that is that users should have control over the software they use, as part of the control they should have over their own lives, then I think a copyleft license is a good tool to help achieve that.

Librem 13: A Free and Open Source Laptop That Respects Your Rights
Compete just guesses at data based off of small panel surveys, that's far from accurate.
Depending on your exact needs, Cassandra's not a bad idea for this space. O(n) scalablity for write capacity (+), and even on an individual node it's pretty write-friendly: its sstable data structures stream to disk well, keeping spinning disks happy while avoiding write amplification issues on SSDs. It does help if the data is nicely shardable, of course.

That's the one I'm familiar with, anyway.

(+) Write capacity is O(n) as you add machines but an individual write's time is pretty constant and cluster-wide maintenance operations do start taking longer as you add machines and they gossip to each other. It's not magic, obviously :)
Agreed. However, their (in)ability to do one without the other is not my problem.

Uber started a revolution; but there is no requirement that they survive it.
If you believe as I do that paywall'd articles do not belong on a news aggregator, the Flag option is at your disposal.
Yup, you see quite a few people from game dev make the transition to the embedded space when they decide that working 100hr weeks isn't their idea of fun.
> I don't know... if you're using Postgres to store non-relational data you may want to reassess your strategy.

What kind of data lacks any relations whatsoever? Yes, there are cases where fitting data to the relational model is more awkward than others. But I would be really, really cautious about thinking that I could design on my own a data model that's better than the relational model. Relational databases are incredibly battle-tested across every type of data storage problem out there.
The Taboo of Burnout
Ask HN: How would you write requirements for a revamp of existing web app?
Funny that I anm asking this as I worked as a "Business Analyst" for many years in my corporate job life. Now I have a small bootstrapped startup that has an MVP working well with paying clients already. The problem is that I think it is not time to move on from the MVP and really build a scalable solution (yes, the market has been validated with paying customer already).

I want to write the specs for the functionality that my current application has and struggling for a way to do this. I hate to use plain old Microsoft word. Any other ideas to make it easy and seamless for me to communicate this to my developers ?

What's out there for something like this ? I know I can use Balsamiq for mockups etc. But how do I describe the UX ? How do I descibe the workflows ? Flowchart diagrams ? Sequence diagrams ?
There were decades long trends in psychology that attempted to "undo the damage of male-dominated thinking and behaviors". It went too far and so now we're seeing lots of these combination "duh!"/"aha!" moments in the field.

I find it hard to believe that SF's monthly uniques were growing at 150% YoY until just 2 months ago.
The problem is that many of the things founders assume to be advantages really aren't, or they're not as a significant as believed. In business generally, a lot of people overvalue and place too much emphasis on "advantages" that don't directly influence the metrics that matter, like sales, cost of customer acquisition, churn, etc.
The FAQ at your link says that there is no problem with ocean disposal of the brine, which is only twice the concentration of normal seawater. If you dump that into the ocean, it will quickly be diluted and raise the salinity slightly. Got any evidence that the salinity increase will kill fish? If you filled a tank with the brine and dunked a fish in it, that might do it.
My wife thinks this is what we should do (I'm not the OP). But it doesn't make sense to me. It would imply that whoever says something first is right.

Why can't parents disagree sometimes? Might be a valuable lesson for kids, too. And perhaps less scary, too. Maybe it's nice to have somebody to turn to, and not just one parent unit?
Apple Watch 2: Apple plans FaceTime camera, iPhone-free Wi-Fi, $1000+ models
IT used to be diverse. It simply isn't today, which makes the trade vulnerable to this sort of manipulation. While political correctness is the generally agreed-upon method to display tact and awareness of others, it is easy to abuse for selfish, misguided reasons. Harpies, those who abuse political correctness and strict adherence to social rules, are a long standing group that infest every culture on earth.
It's quite common for startups to have 1 or 2 sexy (and well-enough engineered) projects involving your favorite technology X, to run up the flagpole at conferences or in job ads, etc. But like as not, 80% of what they do (and of what you'll be doing as a developer there) is the same half-baked, post-"blitzkrieg" mop-up work you'll be doing pretty much anywhere else.
I love PostgreSQL.

But for a personal project I went with MongoDB, because my data set was a perfect match for mongo's design.

Now I love mongo too, I'm amazed with how easy it has been to maintain 100% uptime on comodity hardware (one server is literally in a room in my apartment) through all the random server downtimes, upgrades, migrations, etc.

And now I have more ideas for some personal projects, and they would go very well with postgres, but I'm so missing replica sets from mongo.

If postgres would have something similar to replica sets in mongodb, that would be amazing.

The title of the article assumes a drought. The sentence in question is arguing that there is enough water, using the word drought casually (I don't think the writer is arguing whether technically a drought exists).

The basic point is that if people collected rainwater instead of channeling it into the ocean they could have more than enough water. Don't argue at the margins and ignore the main point.

The character of Mew was meant to be referenced through the story, but not actually catchable. Considering that you can only get Mew by exploiting bugs in the game, it's pretty believable that it wasn't added above the radar.

Please take in mind that this will be really hard for neophytes. Botanical terms are serial killers even for experts, and some families are a real nightmare. You'll probably lost the 95% of the people in the first 10 serious questions.

This is a project I've been developing for the past few days based on a few months of research in visual effects pipeline development, and would be interested in hearing of your impression of it before development goes too far (in a possibly wrong direction).

3years ago I would probably argue that you should just use Python 2.X. But most packages you will use are now ported to Python 3.
You know, CSS can do this too, nowadays. Perhaps some new... ah... "research"... is necessary to see whether this can increase our ability to read online as well.

It's that "April" sort of research one does, if you know what I mean.

I believe they do (in the sense that if you take one of these images, zoom it in, and run it through the algorithm again, it'll take the micro-features of the animals it hallucinated and hallucinate more animals on top of them).
The OP suggested that Apple is mainly successful because it is exaggerating the value of its proprietary efforts in its marketing vs. the success it has had co-opting the work of open source software.

I'm saying that most of their success has come from their proprietary efforts, particularly around their ecosystem, and that it is an interesting reflection of where open source has succeeded and failed in the broader market.
