I'd like to understand a bit more about your data structures. Raw text should live in a file system, but if you're creating highly structured data using a SQL database could be a good fit. I'd also suggest taking a look at Spark; you can run it locally on your machine (does not need a Hadoop cluster) and can interact with flat files. If you're finding that your machine is lacking in horsepower or space, AWS could be your friend.

If you equate "relieving from unbearable suffering" with killing you must also equate not doing this with torture imo.

You value your own morals over the request of another, equal human being. To me that is your fundamental human right and I will not judge you for it. But I could not live with myself knowing that I denied someone I love their strongest wish while there is no cost to me personally. I'd feel incredibly selfish.

Just curious, would you actively stop someone in unbearable pain form killing her/himself or would you stop them? Would you help set up a machine to help someone kill her/himself?

Again, not judging, just loving this discussion and I'm willing to change my mind.

One from Vincent Vanhoucke: "This is the most fun we've had in the office in a while. We've even made some of those 'Inceptionistic' art pieces into giant posters. Beyond the eye candy, there is actually something deeply interesting in this line of work: neural networks have a bad reputation for being strange black boxes that that are opaque to inspection. I have never understood those charges: any other model (GMM, SVM, Random Forests) of any sufficient complexity for a real task is completely opaque for very fundamental reasons: their non-linear structure makes it hard to project back the function they represent into their input space and make sense of it. Not so with backprop, as this blog post shows eloquently: you can query the model and ask what it believes it is seeing or 'wants' to see simply by following gradients. This 'guided hallucination' technique is very powerful and the gorgeous visualizations it generates are very evocative of what's really going on in the network.﻿"
This is a good article - http://gafferongames.com/networking-for-game-programmers/wha...

If you really are sending packets every 20ms then that is the equivalent of 50fps - I suspect that if you log out how often you are getting packets from the server you'll find that you are not actually getting packets at that rate, or the jitter on the packets is unacceptable.

Client side prediction doesn't have to be very clever. You can get good results with very simple algorithms.

I gave a talk on this a few years ago at iOSDevUK - https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/508075/GameCenter%20and%...

I'm not an expert in games, but even my simple code worked pretty well.

From what I remember I was sending user inputs from the client side every 0.2 seconds - and from the server once I had the client prediction in place I could get away with very slow updates from the server and still have the illusion of 60fps.
A consultant who did some work with a company contracted by OPM to manage personnel records for a number of agencies told Ars that he found the Unix systems administrator for the project "was in Argentina and his co-worker was physically located in the [People's Republic of China]. Both had direct access to every row of data in every database: they were root. Another team that worked with these databases had at its head two team members with PRC passports. I know that because I challenged them personally and revoked their privileges. From my perspective, OPM compromised this information more than three years ago and my take on the current breach is 'so what's new?'"

I actually just noticed a bug in my code where I was only looking for data from the server every 20 milliseconds rather than every frame. Now the movement is smooth but the controls feel a bit sticky. I made the client send every 10 milliseconds and it looks pretty good, but this is a really bad way to solve this problem. I'll look at your links and try to optimize it better! Thanks a ton for those:)

This Inventor Said He Could Clean Up the Ocean--Now He's Really Doing It
Hmm, not really. It kind of depends on how effective a marketplace we think the VC world is. We cannot complain it is overheated and bubble like, and then say it is leading to valuations less than its true value.

So, from my small knowledge of these things there are three means to value a publicly listed stock - (discounted) free cash flow, (discounted) dividend returns and earnings multiple. All of which assume you have perfect future knowledge of the total returns to holding the given asset and allow you to then price the asset today.

So using your example, let's say it is Google's IPO day and they are selling x shares at a total value of 10bn (whatever it was). If you have a copy of the FT from 2015 and it says google has made 300bn dollars in dividend payments to date, and then ceased trading for the Lulz -then you can confidently price the discount on those dividend payments (what you get for buying the asset) and then pay upto that amount in the IPO. Your profit comes from knowing the true value of holding google stock until 2015 as opposed to every other investors knowledge (who probably were a lot more conservative)

If everyone had that copy of the FT, then the price of the stock would on IPO exactly match the (discounted) return from the dividend payouts (well there are a lot of caveats here)

If another copy falls through time and says "oh, 300bn, we meant 30bn" then your estimate changes again.

So, in an ideal marketplace, all the participants know all the future events to come, can then workout current asset price and then pay upto that amount for the asset.

The only profit investors can make is if a) the market is unfair (barriers to entry, reduced knowledge etc) or b) by thinking they have more accurate estimates of future then the rest of the market (ie time wormholes near FT newspapers)

So - there is simply no way a competitive market will leave a gap between the current price and the "what everyone agrees will happen in the future" price. That's the definition of an unfair market.

Either way, airbnb is getting compared to companies like Ezpedia, but using their discounted cash flow and saying it is like airbnb is not taking into account the enormous legal and regulatory hurdles they are facing.

The problem with the logic is you can basically plug any number in there and say they should have settled for that number too. If people always just settled becuase they might lose guess how much Big Corps will offer for settlements?

It's easy to say she should have settled in hindsight but if she had won big we'd be saying KP should have offered her more.
With an analogy to open-source, my failed projects (like we're talking about here) fall largely into two distinct categories. Those that I never started, or were totally half-baked, or turned out to trivial - the uninteresting or incomplete. 90%. And 5% turn out to be illustrative learning moments.

One of my first OOP projects trying to model the real world in hierarchical classes. It was a good non-contrived example of a need for multiple orthogonal inheritance methods as any one can easily be forced into contortions in modeling even simple structures.

I tried to write a project with my own trig implementations, just because. That'd at least be funny...

But the rest are a few lines of drunk-coding, or something I found a library to do and never developed, or in some other way a waste of time to look at.

So I don't want to hold scientists to standards I wouldn't want. Nor do I want to miss the value in the noise.

So maybe we should have a honor-system somewhat like this - when you first describe to project to anyone looking for funding, or discussed it with more than a handful of peers, or ... then you make a note in your lab book. "Research direction: see if flatworms are really flat because Y - hope it'll give insight into Z". And your internal audit system submits all of these to a pool of peers who pick by interest in the area. If it's chosen, an auditor checks if the idea was ever really developed, dropping it if not, and summarizing whatever is there (or letting you write a paper) if there are results.

It sounds like a lot of work, but considering that everyone is asking for grants and being audited anyways, and this would replace vast swaths of less-pointed simple bookkeeping audit with peer-review of your methods, etc. In other words, likely higher quality results for the funding bodies in less time, and with the additional benefit of being able to publish interesting failure results.

Thus achieving a balance between researcher privacy and ability to try without public mockery on failure, funding efficiency, and scientific benefit.

The advantage of having client-side encryption built into tarsnap is that it encrypts only after data deduplication and compression.

Obviously there could be a tarsnap option to stream the data to be uploaded through an encryption program of your choice, but doing it just as you suggest would nerf a few of tarsnap's prime advantages.

Evernote CEO Looking to Be Replaced ASAP
Do small fly-by-night factories care about reputation? No, probably not. Does having your stuff produced elsewhere given this reality protect against its copying? No. Realistically, we just have to recognize that the exclusive right to produce something does not exist, except as vaguely enforced at retail through certain developed markets' monopoly-assisting enforcement arrangements... if you have enough dosh for lawyers to back it up. From a business standpoint, the cold hard truth is that producing anything physical is more about the object's distribution and marketing than the design and production, which can be monopolized only temporarily.

Well, whatever your opinion is of Spring (mine is negative) or however you look at this you need to acknowledge that Spring MVC is probably the best Java "Action" framework. Combine it with the fact that it's most popular framework too (arguably above JSF) and also the fact that people get things done with it on consistent basis.

My only complaints are something along the lines you mentioned - Spring overall and MVC specifically to me is framework without philosophy. It once had very clear philosophy, but now it become just mixture of features and multiple ways to do same thing. Once it was like "understand principals and let your mind do the magic", now its more like "there are no principles, just multiple snippet for doing thing you want - just Google it when you'll need it". Basically, it's no longer rewarding.

Second complaint is - Spring MVC, despite being so popular, is just not a 5 minute project setup technology, setting it takes time.
That's really cool.

The trippiness is further compounded by the rainbow-ish colour effect produced by the recursive function, which mimics the "shimmering" rainbow effect you commonly get around lights when tripping on LSD.

Interviews have to be carefully constructed to avoid a bunch of bias. The interviews you go to probably aren't carefully constructed.

The interviewers just pick someone. They then post-rationalise and say things like "cultural fit". And then, when any other candidate asks the interviewers will post rationalise a reason those candidates didn't get the job. You get conflicting answers because they're all just making it up.

You frame not being sucessful as failure. Sure, it is. It might be useful to reframe things. Getting a job is an iterative process. You apply for jobs. If you don't get replies you tweak your resumé and cover letter until you get responses and requests to interview. You're getting interviews so that already some sucess! Now you just need to tweak your interview technique to get a job.

There are people who can help. There are probably recruiters that can help - although finding a non-scumbag recruiter may be difficult. Perhaps there is someone on HN who can help?
This is fascinating. And important. We need better ways to see what neural nets are doing. At least for visual processing, we now have some.

This might be usable on music. Train a net to recognize a type of music, then run it backwards to see what comes out.

Run on the neural nets that do face popout (face/non face, not face recognition), some generic face should emerge. Run on nets for text recognition, letter forms should emerge. Run on financial data vs results ... optimal business strategies?

But calling it "inceptionism" is silly. (Could be worse, as with "polyfill", though.)

We had 11 years of uptime on a VAX cluster at a company I worked for in the late 1990s.

They took it down in 2001 to replace it with something that took up 2U of rack space, about 2kw less power and ran windows 2000.

I turned up in 2012 to replace it again with something cloudy and it had 11 years of uptime (well done NT!) again[1] so YMMV.

Tarsnap is a combination client-side application and remote service.

I am suggesting instead to use/recommend one of the existing client-side tools that work similar to the tarsnap client does, but don't lock the user into a single service provider.

By using a client-side tool that just generates archives (and isn't tied to a single storage service provider), you can store them anywhere - AWS, iCloud, Google Drive, Rsync.net, a rented VPS, a friends computer, an external hard drive, all of the above. You name it.
