skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
A little bit of digging around with the Chrome inspector shows that it loads data from a JSON file that sits on the server:

http://stuffin.space/TLE.json

No network traffic is generated after the initial load so my guess is that this JSON file is generated on the server from some other data source and is read on load and then continues to calculate positions from that initial load. The data on the server changes every 10 - 15 minutes it seems...must be a script updating it.
Nice! love the hear that from a designer. First time designing something myself.
Same. Chrome didn't actually render the balls.
it was not just one subreddit though. She orgamised a lot of AMAs on a lot of subreddits. r/IAMA was the main one, but she did a lot for r/books, r/science etc. Specifically if you look at r/science AMAs these tend not to be for the people to shift their latest product or raise awareness of their charity but to impart knowledge onto the public. TO explain current news stories usually with the people that ran or worked directly on the project. So it was not spent solely on the participants of one subreddit. However it was also her work that helped provide more credibility to the format. Things like the barack obama AMA were major factors in driving people to the site. And you only have to look at how the morgan freeman or woody harrelson AMAs went to get an idea of how a poorly managed AMA could quickly become a PR car crash. Having Victoria protected both the site, its users and the AMA guests by giving them someone who knew the process, what would and what would not work.

>Since the value primarily comes from the users and mods, let them organize and run the AMAs from now on

This is not what they have proposed. They have set up a team to deal with AMA issues. So now there is a team where there was once a single point of contact with direct responsibility. They dont want to concentrate on software they want to monetize the site. AMAs are one of their best features for doing that, it brings in advertisers, page views, recognition, credibility etc so that they handled the whole thing so poorly reflects badly on management.
>Freedom of speech also means that others have the freedom to criticize that speech, too.

I sometime feel like people forget this. It comes up every time someone gets dropped by sponsors or their TV network for saying something outrageous (Duck Dynasty, Donald Trump, etc.). Freedom of speech means the government can't arrest you for saying it. It doesn't mean you get an automatic criticism free platform to say whatever you want. All of us (media owners included) are allowed to make our own assessments or business decisions about it as well.
I doubt it was PhineasFisher that was hacked; there's almost no attack vector. S/he hadn't used the twitter account in almost a year , there's extremely little info about them for any attacker to go on, and there's little obvious motive for a hacker to impersonate them as opposed to starting their own pseudonym or anything.

The only method of attack would be to know what email is used for the twitter and hack it, or guess the password, neither of which should be easy against someone using minimal security precautions. (Or, I guess, it could be a false-flag by the US, who could force twitter to do stuff; but that seems way too much risk of PhineasFisher coming out elsewhere and exposing that. Did PF ever put a pgp key somewhere?

Looking past the vitriol towards Ellen Pao, this seems to be primarily due to a history of miscommunication between moderators, who feel they should have more power and better ways to handle the communities they support, and the admins of Reddit. While I think that there are definite issues on both sides -- I'm not a moderator, especially not of a big subreddit, so I don't know how disrespectful or how much the admins ignored the moderators requests, so my perspective is of an outsider -- I really feel like this is all just a temper tantrum that the moderators handled poorly, potentially purposefully. The users by and large did not need to know that Victoria was fired, and it's a shame that the moderators 1) let that information out, and 2) by letting it out, effectively let it be used as a base for a parade against Ellen Pao. It can't be argued that the moderators didn't/couldn't know this would happen because this kind of shit happens on Reddit all the time, and the more vocal parts of the community will cling to their dislike of Pao with this.

I think that the admins should have handled it better, for sure -- they could have at least given the moderators that relied on Victoria's help the heads up of, "hey, we are going to transition to a new community manager, for the time being X, Y, and Z are going to occur," but the backlash from the community and that the moderators are effectively using the community for their own gains instead of trying to handle it internally is a pretty bad reflection on how the community is structured as a whole. All I can think of is that this is basically 4chan and social media combined.

Many reasons why 128-bit addresses are great:

- No more tradeoff between number of networks vs hosts, vastly simplifying planning in large networks. (/64 subnets gives you 10^19 networks each with effectively an infinite number of hosts.)

- Security/privacy. Try port-scanning a /64 subnet -- let me know when you're done. (BTW, that was just one network.)

- Host addresses can be encoded in the lower 64 bits, which allows for all kinds of efficiencies, like stateless autoconfiguration.

- ULA, which allows you to reserve a site-local (non-Internet-routable) address space, without an external registry, and with very high probability of global uniqueness. (Remember the time your company acquired that other company, and had to merge their 10.0.0.0/8 with yours?)

- Global unicast is a /3, which means if we screwed something up, we still have 7 more attempts (each with 10^37 addresses.)

The thing with having more bits is that it allows you to do more interesting things, without the pressures of scarcity.
My general assumption about contributors is that the labor they're investing provides some personal benefit to themselves. That could be either the value they'll receive from using the gem in their own projects, or as a portfolio showcase when selling themselves to clients or potential employers.

Since you didn't provide a link to your gem, we'll also assume you haven't built it yet. If you want complete strangers to help you, you'll most likely need to build it yourself until it's reached enough popularity that people are submitting issues and requests for feature enhancements.

You're making this far too personal. Reddit is and was a shitty business; afaik, they lost money every year at least through 2012 (Yishan released not raw numbers but a graph showing expenses > revenue).

Reddit has to change: at some point, they will either make money, become a billionaire's hobby or vanish. That's completely separate from the fact that certain people were happy to host jailbait and stolen celebrity titty pics and others are ashamed to be associated with people who do and/or support the former.

Ellen has little do with any of the above except her current remit to make reddit into a functioning -- that is, profitable -- business. But any ceo will have that task.
It's also not "obvious" due to the fact that this whole uprising started with the firing of a female employee. If this demographic of over 160 million users is in fact made up of largely "women hating teenagers", why would they get so riled up and defend a woman that lost her job? It just doesn't add up.

What's obvious here, is people trying really hard to frame almost every bit of internet drama possible into some kind of gender war. It's just disingenuous and disgusting.

No accelerator card needed.

You run an "RSA signing server" that accepts connections only from the internal IP of your webserver (or maybe only TLS connections from across the internet but only if the client connecting to it has a client certificate signed by your own self-signed CA, but that depends on topology).

It runs a very simple app that accepts requests to sign something and responds with the <something> signed by your RSA private key. The code for this is very minimal and secure. You teach your web server to use this thing during TLS handshake, to sign the ephemeral key exchange.

If the web server is hacked, the hackers gain the ability to sign things with your private key, but they don't get the private key itself. They need to hack the "RSA signing service" server for that. They can't stockpile signed ephemeral key exchanges. After you detect the hack, snapshot and kill the hacked server, start a new one from clean backup, they lose the ability to impersonate your site.

CloudFlare have a writeup on their service that does this (TLS negotiation by their TLS terminator with only you holding the key): https://blog.cloudflare.com/keyless-ssl-the-nitty-gritty-tec...
Reddit has had several CEOs, which the typical user rarely knew by name.

The idea that the CEO of Reddit has anything to do with the average user's experience has come about very recently, and I believe it's being propagated by the fatpeoplehate crowd (she sure affected their experience).

...Yawn. That's not even remotely comparable to domestication. There are countless examples of predators having non-feeding-related interactions with prey. Sharks swimming with fish; lions lounging near gazelles; etc, etc. If they're engaging in a cooperative hunting strategy, then that's certainly interesting, but not new or groundbreaking.

Agreed. The only thing that will solve driver distraction entirely is to remove the need for drivers to pay attention at all. However, we're still a good 5 years away from true self-driving cars being available, and longer than that for mass-market versions to really gain traction. This is something that could be available today.
The community is what you make it and who you enagage with. You see a shit community because you probably dont get involved in anything other than the default subreddits. You read the r/funny comments and see LCD comments for karma, that is a shit part of reddit I agree, but it is just a part of reddit it doesnt represent the whole community.

The reddit community just gets cherry picked depending on the view you want to put across. 'Bad Guys' - find an appropriate reddit, e.g. r/picsofdeadkids, or r/hangniggers or just go to r/SRS and choose a topic, sexism, racism etc, choose a particualarly vile comment from a single user and then say look this is representative of reddit, what a hive of scum and villainy.

'Good Guys' - go to r/randomactsofkindness or r/randomactsofpizza, or any local subreddit like r/oregon and find a heart warming story of a user sending another user a new laptop when theirs was stolen right before finals, or turning up with money for a hotel when a guy and his kid get stuck in a new city at night after a football game, or any of a hundred other amazing things that people do for one another just because they are a user of the same site.

Generalising like you have and saying you cant even get an answer about why they are upset is evidently trolling or laziness on your behalf as anyone with 10 minutes could find out the reasons behind the dislike of Pao just by reading the r/announcements and the user comments that go along with them.

The downside of xamarin is slightly unstable tooling, the occasional regression, and headaches associated with using native oss libs, though it is very much possible. And of course price.

On the other hand, native-equivalent performance is no joke and c#/f# are great languages. Xamarin comes with some very sophisticated stuff like databinding, and high-level concurrency like rx, async/await, and akka.net which can really be a boon for performance, especially compared with js's comparatively meager concurrency options.

Differently from IPv4, IPv6 addresses are strictly hierarchical. You block areas by blocking their root network.

> But "a" and "the" aren't used orthogonally -- they interfere with each other.

The semantic "a" and thematic "the" don't interfere with each other, and can be taught separately. Perhaps you're thinking of their influence on the end grammar of the sentence.

> They participate in the grammatical structure of English in exactly the same way.

Not exactly the same. As I said above, the "the" overlays onto the grammatical structure after the "a" does.

What makes you think I want your replies? I never replied to you initially.
No, it's nothing like AES. The idea with fully-homomorphic encryption is that you want not just any encryption function C, but a function C such that C(x + y) = f(C(x), C(y)) and C(x × y) = g(C(x), C(y)). No such f and g exist for common encryption schemes, and in fact it's not clear that there should be any secure C where such f and g exist. But a very recent breakthrough in cryptography has constructed such a C; that's FHE.
Great to see this. One of the very first examples of client-site Java put up years ago by JPL (or NASA?) was essentially this, but it went down a few years ago.

Do you guys have funding? If so, you will have to be respectful of the trust that your investors placed into you three as people.
It's your duty to your investors do what's best for business.

Totally understand that passion is hard to control. In this case, especially if outside capital is involved, I'd say "mind over body."

If there is no outside capital involved you'd have to consider the trade-off startup vs. love. That's your private decision and don't let anybody judge you no matter what you end up deciding. Make sure that you have a convo with her before you make a decision. You wouldn't want an expectation mismatch after you have given up your startup for her. If you decide for the startup and against her you should also have a serious convo about not having hard feelings when working together in the future.
Good luck!

Serious question about my use case and opting for a substitute: I use reddit to learn and interact with a community about my interests or things that I want to learn. Reddit has been fantastic for this and about 75% of the time the users of specific communities are great resources that I really can't find anywhere else.

Recently, it's become increasingly apparent that drama around and within reddit is ruining this - all I want to do is learn and engage - it's impossible now to avoid it. Any alternative that keeps the quality high and the format similar without all the ugly dramatics?
That's fantastic, I wonder if you could mash up different comic strips' panels and dialogs to get a similar effect.

CompCert uses tame optimisations, and compiles to mainstream architectures nothing exotic. Most of all, CompCert does not deal with concurrency as far as I'm aware. Concurrency is where memory models matter.

The problem with memory models is not so much verifying it in a mechanised way, but inventing something suitable at all.
you're really equating the credibility of an online discussion forum with that of a court of justice?
We can imagine all we want, but that's up to the markets to decide, not you, advertisers, or anyone else. Advertisers just want to have an audience they can make money off of. If reddit scares away what it's trying to sell to advertisers because it's ideals aren't aligned with its product/userbase, then it deserves to be disrupted by competition.

It's not like we live in a dictatorship where we can easily designate what is/isn't appropriate for a site like reddit to be successful. If a competitor to reddit finds itself being more successful by hosting things like TheRedPill and CoonTown, then so be it, that's how the market works.

Eric Holder: The Justice Department Could Strike Deal with Edward Snowden
Ask HN: Machine learning – the easy way
I just watched this TED talk (https://www.ted.com/talks/rajiv_maheswaran_the_math_behind_basketball_s_wildest_moves) and at one point in the talk he talks about using machine learning to determine what is and isn't a pick and rolls That makes sense, that's exactly what I would have said too. Except I wouldn't have actually done it.

I feel like I often run into situations like these where I think, "makes sense to use machine learning here". I'd love to just drop my data into some service that then spits out code that will classify future data. I trust the AI experts will build a much better system (and update it) better than I could.

Are there services that do this?
Looked at eLance a couple years ago but never followed through. Appeared very tedious in terms of setting up a profile and submitting proposals, I had easier methods available to me to obtain work and utilized them instead.
Agreed. Some definitions are really bad. I guess the cause is noble but it is executed very poorly. ( The definition of functional is also used nowhere in the document - Although it is mentioned. )

Another oddity: "Object oriented" programs are defined as functions {0,...,n} -> O where O is "a set of objects". Yet: A program is defined to be an endo-relation S<->S. Accordingly, we have O = {0,...,n}.

I don't see how this definition gives any insight on the nature of object oriented programming.

Now for the strangest thing: The definitions of "object oriented" and "procedural" involve differentiating between possible condidates for S. Yet the only property a set without any context really has is its cardinality.

So we can rephrase the definitions of "object oriented" as follows:

An "object oriented" program is a set S together with a total function S -> S with S finite. ([total function] AND [S finite])

Negating, we arrive at the definition of "procedural program":

A "procedural" program is either a relation S <-> S that is not a total function (no restrictions on the cardinality of S) OR any relation S<->S but S must be infinite. ([not a total function] OR [not S finite])

I don't see how this definition captures the notions of object oriented programming and procedural programming in any meaningful way.

But maybe the author will appear here and to clarify his ideas.
