How I made $2,000 in 20 seconds - nate http://okdork.com/2013/04/30/2000_dollars_by_asking/ ====== bradddd Great example of the old adage: you'll never know if you don't try. Interesting title as it's slightly misleading at first, but ultimately truthful.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Why designers hate Powerpoint - 2pointsomone http://blog.varunarora.com/2012/5-reasons-why-designers-hate-powerpoint/ ====== michaelpinto I'm a designer and I don't hate PowerPoint, I hate the fact that most users abuse PowerPoint by cluttering up the screen with endless novels and too many graphics that don't illustrate a point. A good designer can clean up a well done PowerPoint show in minutes by changing themes and picking the right typeface. However what's often really required is an editor to turn volumes of text into a story -- and that's a task that shouldn't be done at the last minute. ~~~ 2pointsomone That is completely true, as well. But the software does nothing to discourage mindless design, which is some reason for worry ------ hdra What designers hate might be what makes what other's (most of them) job easier. that said, I myself have a "reset.css" template so that I don't have to deal with the defaults... ~~~ 2pointsomone Please do share - I am sure a tonne of us would benefit	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

My Non-Technical Co-Founder Horror Story - danaseverson https://startupsanonymous.com/story/co-founder-horror-story/ ====== spitfire When business guys start saying "you can be replaced" or that they'll "start a competing company" the correct answer is /always/ "Fantastic! Please do, you'll make me look good.". This guy was a clown playing for status. Where there's money there is always people playing like this. Focus on delivering value to the customers at a fair price and nothing else. Also, if people are saying "You can be replaced" it means you can't be replaced and you're doing something right. ------ mooreds Maybe I missed this, but did you get a founders agreement put together? It's not a fun conversation, but it's worth nailing down at the very beginning. ~~~ danaseverson I agree though, should be nailed down immediately.

Ask HN: Advice for a first-time DBA on a self-built e-commerce app? - aerovistae I've been a developer for 7 years, primarily front-end, and have managed to avoid doing any work with databases up until now because they're just not something I personally find interesting or enjoyable.<p>But now I've built an ecommerce site that takes customer orders for a product, and I have to set up and manage my own database, and I'm nervous.<p>I know how easy it is to make a mistake as simple as a typo and screw up your schema or delete records, and with customers' money on the line I'm afraid to be in the position of making such mistakes.<p>In front-end development, I'm fairly well-versed on best practices and how to build a site that's sturdy and flexible and secure. I have no idea how to do any of those things with a database and am worried about falling into pits I don't know exist yet. SQL injection is the only pit I know to keep an eye out for.<p>How can I make the best of this? How can I become a competent DBA for myself when money's already on the line without screwing anyone over with amateur mistakes? Just looking for advice from anyone else who's had to do anything similar. ====== hakanderyal \- In my projects, I rarely run ad-hoc insert/update/delete queries on live production database. Instead, I write scripts using the language I used for the app for all database operations. I test the script on a local database, make sure there is no unintended side effects, than run the script on the production database, thus avoiding any chance of typos or wrong queries messing with the database. In any case, I also take a backup right before I run the script on production. \- For SQL injection, if you are using an ORM or library, it should have safe parameter binding for queries, make sure to follow its guidelines. \- It's mandatory to have an automated backup system for your database to ensure you can recover from any data loss scenario. Remember, a backup is only valid if you have tested to restore your database from it. So ideally your automated backup system should also check if the backup is working properly. I realize it's a lot of work, but it'll pay off when (not if) you encounter a disaster scenario that requires you to restore from backup. At the very least, create an automated backup solution, and test it manually periodically to make sure it's working properly. Store your backups in two or more separate places, if possible. Always encrypt your backups. You can check out Tarsnap. ------ segmondy Hire a DBA to give you a crash course. Use managed DB like AWS RDS where they backup and take care of installs. DB's are generally very stable and don't need much maintenance. Most of your work really is from the dev side, schema design, good index placement. ------ rajeshamara 1)Have stored procedures with parameters for all you backend transactions 2)Make sure you have foreign key constraints between tables 3)Log everything so that you can track 4)Daily backup your db so that you can restore in case something happens 5)Create primary keys for each table 6)For all you order make sure if is between transaction and roll back in case of failures 7)After successful, payment transaction, send out email notification to the end customer. You can cc yourself too. Again this if for auditing purpose. What I came up is a very quick list. Again you need to thoroughly analyze your req. and come up appropriate solutions	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

The programming language that is fastest to implement features - deltrem Slashdot said that programming has a political axis with conservative and liberal programmers. Liberal programmers worry about how fast you take to implement a feature. Liberal programmers need the answer to this question. (1)<p>Paul Graham said that his company could implement features faster than his competitors, because his company programmed in Common Lisp and Common Lisp makes you twice more productive as a programmer. (2)<p>Time passes, progress happens, Common Lisp <i>was</i> the fastest, a more modern programming language <i>is</i> the fastest, so <i>today</i> what programming language is the fastest to implement features? Why?<p>(1) http://slashdot.org/index2.pl?fhfilter=political+axis (2) http://www.paulgraham.com/avg.html ====== gyardley Must we use this 'liberal' vs. 'conservative' language for programming styles? The terms are already so ridiculously value-laden, you're at risk of letting your political leanings involuntarily bleed through and muddle up your programming decisions. ~~~ 27182818284 I think that's a reaction to there being a blog post about liberal and conservative programming languaged on the HN page a bit ago. (And yes, we should absolutely not use them. ) ------ lumberjack There is no objective way to answer this. You are probably talking about rapid prototyping languages. The most popular ones in use today are Python and possibly Java (?). Dialects of Lisp have a strong tradition of being good rapid prototyping languages and there is potential in languages like Haskell. I'm obviously talking about general purpose languages here and therein lies the problem. Different languages have different resources, different communities and perform better at different tasks. It not possible to go in more detail. However this is not a question that you should be asking yourself because the answer will come naturally with time. Try to experience and learn as much and with time you'll have a preference for a language when you just want to hack something together. That's your answer. ------ codeonfire Productivity depends way more on the programmer and his/her knowledge of the common idioms, language features, and libraries for any particular platform than any specific language. The characteristics of languages that make it fast to implement features include dynamic typing, built-in collections, a large class library, availability of an interactive console, availability of a debugger that can easily be used on any host machine, JIT compiled or interpreted, no binaries or packages to build. ------ GFischer If you want a quick and dirty CRUD app, GeneXus is probably up there: <http://www.genexus.com/global/home?en> It's a code generation tool that's mainly popular in South America and is making some inroads in Japan and Europe. It does generate some ugly code, and ugly-looking applications, but it generates all the backend code and can generate to iOS and Android too. ------ _delirium It sounds like you might be asking about what's often called "rapid prototyping". That doesn't cover every possible case (e.g. adding a new feature to a large existing system is not usually covered by "rapid prototyping"), but I think it points to the languages that tend to emphasize ease-of-getting-something-out. Python and Ruby are often promoted in that category. Delphi used to be big, but is waning. ------ hasenj If you're new to common lisp, it will take you 10x longer to implement the feature you want than if you use technologies you're more familiar with. ------ thiagodotfm Ruby on Rails.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Want Smarter Kids? Space Them (At Least) Two Years Apart - mikeleeorg http://www.freakonomics.com/2011/11/17/want-smarter-kids-space-them-at-least-two-years-apart/ ====== abscondment If time and attention really are the determining factors, maybe we parents should just chuck our smartphones and tablets for the first 5 years. I'm only partly joking. I ditched my iPhone after my 2-year-old started saying, "Dadda, put your phone down! Come play!". It's relegated to my office now. ~~~ ehsanu1 In fact, if one has sufficient savings and has no worries about career, quitting the full-time job also makes a lot of time/energy for the kids. That's pretty drastic, but I'd consider it myself in the future. ~~~ watmough I've just spent two years bringing up my daughter (and iPhone apps on the side at night), whilst my wife works. Highly recommended, if you can swing it, at least once. Now, how to get back in the work-force... ~~~ tomjen3 You can go back as a consultant for ios development. ~~~ watmough If only I had the social skills! Yeah, hopefully something will turn up. I'm actually not that bad. I worked in an consulting shop for 4 years and commuted across the US every week. ------ aresant Ahhhh freakonomics, meaninglessness-mass-market-pseudo-data-into-linkbait at its finest! Their read is that "Smarter" kids = Math and Science test scores. Is that how you measure "smart"? \- What about musically smart? \- What about non-linear thinking (classic entrepreneur trait)? \- What about decision making capabilities? Freakonmics is link-bait data drivel that, due to its mass appeal, is dangerously influential. It gets under my skin because you'll often see Freakonomics data repeated as "truth" in the media or in casual conversation. Truth is not their product. ~~~ jeff18 So in other words, it is not responsible to ever use the word "smart" in a headline? ~~~ aresant The first paragraph of the article is in conflict with the headline: "The positive effects were seen only in older siblings, not in younger ones." So the headline is false. Your "kids" won't be smarter. But maybe the older one will be. Then the rest of the article just fills space. It's linkbait, which is my expectation with anything from Freakonomics. My problem is that their headlines are disseminated as gospel and repeated verbatim thousands or millions of times, until that headline becomes a truth. And winds up in a parenting book. And causes somebody to make a decision based on false data. Maybe I have too active an imagination, but this just gets under my skin. ~~~ eric-hu So to update the headline to your (very reasonable) criteria: "Study: Oldest children test scores higher when 2+ years older" ------ grandalf Do to lactational amenorrhea, mothers who breast feed their kids until age 2 (as the World Health Organization recommends) are much less likely to get pregnant again quickly enough to have kids spaced less than two years apart. Considering that breast feeding (at all) is correlated with an 8 point IQ increase on average, the above could completely explain the study's findings. ~~~ TheSOB88 Could be, but I bet the amount of people who breastfeed their kids for 2 years is dwarfed by the amount of people who don't, but due to chance have kids 2+ years apart. ~~~ grandalf Could be, but b/c gestation takes 9 months breast feeding would only have to take place for 13 months for lactational amenorrhea to result in the 2 year spacing. Based on a quick google search of breastfeeding rates, in the US 25% of women who breast feed do so until 12 months, which may be enough to create the difference noted in the study. ------ nitrogen _We already know that children from larger families generally have lower educational attainment and IQ scores, worse employment outcomes, and are more likely to engage in risky behavior._ Has the direction of causation been determined? Do children from large rich families do worse than children from small rich families? (Also: the paper linked on the words "educational attainment" in the original article seems to contradict this quotation in its abstract: "First, neither birth order nor childhood family size significantly influences the level or growth rate of wages..."[0]) [0] <http://ideas.repec.org/a/ucp/jlabec/v9y1991i4p413-26.html> ~~~ dmgottlieb The paper in the link includes an instrumental variable model to look at exogenously caused birth spacing (caused by miscarriages). So if the model does what the abstract says it does, then that pins down the direction of causation to some extent. Of course to be really sure you'd need to take a closer look and probably do more research. ------ scrrr Some people are looking for meaning in everything. Perhaps they do that enough they start seeing patterns. Not saying that the study is bogus, it might well be true (e.g. the older child becomes a role model for the younger and thus tries harder or something similar), and while I like this age we live now many seemingly random things can be explained, I think it's good to stay skeptical and take such results with a grain of salt. Some people might draw conclusions that are not beneficial (for themselves and society as a whole). Just saying, now back to work. ~~~ hugh3 The trouble with these articles is that they actually affect some folks' lives. No doubt, for years to come, there will be couples sitting there and planning out how they want to space their families based on a half-remembered article that they read in the New York Times one day about how they'll ruin their kids' lives if they're spaced less than three years apart. Some of these couples will no doubt go on to delay their second child until they wind up infertile. Others will probably delay their second child until they're so old that the second child winds up with Down's syndrome (that being vastly more common for older than younger mothers). And basically, it's just another one of those random factors that really don't matter much for middle-class parents to agonize over (while lower-class parents keep pumping out a dozen crack babies to get more welfare). ~~~ pessimizer Since crack babies don't exist, but black people have been have been the majority of people incarcerated for crack related offenses (though they are not the majority of crack users), I'm assuming that you're just awkwardly trying to specify black people? [http://www.nationalreviewofmedicine.com/issue/2005/07_30/2_f...](http://www.nationalreviewofmedicine.com/issue/2005/07_30/2_feature04_13.html) ~~~ rsheridan6 Don't know whether to upvote for the informative link or downvote for the unwarranted accusation of racism. ------ pessimizer Pure anecdote, but I and my sister (2 of 2) were born almost exactly two years apart, and I know that before she was born, there was an absurd amount of attention paid to me for the first couple of years (judging by the sheer balance of photography.) I was also read to constantly, and learned to read fairly well before kindergarten. By the time my sister was a couple of years old, it was me that was constantly reading to her. The age distance there allowed me to be able to teach her things as well as my parents, and I'm sure that the act of reading for her and showing her things helped me to strengthen my grip on those things myself. As adults, we're both 99 percentile types now, according to IQ and standardized tests and such. I'm not sure had the dynamic been different, we would have turned out the same way. ------ inuhj The most irresponsible parents don't practice family planning. That probably contributes heavily to their results. ~~~ andrewhare Be careful with terms like "irresponsible parents" and "family planning". Some people plan to have kids close together in age. For what it's worth, however, I have this to offer: * My oldest son (age 5) can read at a second grade level and can do addition. * My next son (age 4) can read at a first grade level and can also do addition. * My next son (just turned 3) knows all of his shapes (including the difference between octagons and hexagons), recognize and count all numbers from 1-20, and knows all his letters and their sounds. * My next son (almost 2) knows all his colors, can count to ten, sing his ABCs, and knows all his animal sounds. * My last son (7 months old) just figured out sitting up unsupported, and can babble on his level. Now keep in mind that my little guys also love Pixar movies, playing LEGO games on their Wii, dressing up as superheros, and hiking so they have managed to learn all these things while having a well-rounded and balanced childhood. The reason these boys know as much as they do and are so well behaved is because my wife and I have taken the time to know their hearts and minds and have invested countless precious hours teaching and training them to be men. So I want to make sure you understand that just because a family may have children close in age, it is no way has any bearing on their intelligence. My experience has shown me that the complete well-being of children directly correlates to the amount of time and love their parents invest in them, no matter how many siblings they have or far apart their ages may be. Irresponsible parenting does not mean having many kids close in age. Irresponsible parenting simply means that you aren't willing to offer the time and love your kids need to thrive. (edit for formatting) ~~~ glimcat He's claiming that spacing is the dependent variable, not the independent variable. Parents who are not considering these issues at all are arguably more likely to cluster towards shorter spacings, but shorter spacings alone do not provide enough information to classify the cause. ~~~ andrewhare Good point! I just wanted to make sure that the OP knew that he was too sweeping in his generalizations. ~~~ inuhj It wasn't too sweeping--I purposefully said nothing about what responsible parents do ;). ------ lightcatcher I seem to have attributed a different cause to this correlation than most other HN'ers in the comments. Is it possible that the isolation of the older child plays more of a role in the higher test scores than the 2-3 years of undivided parental attention? The older child would grow up without an always available "playmate", and this seems like it could lead to more reading and eventually higher test scores. This same effect could also apply to lone children. Note: I'm not saying this isolation is a completely good thing (child may not have as good of an opportunity to develop strong social skills). ------ maratd > The largest effect they observed suggested that a one-year increase in > spacing improves reading scores for older children by 0.17 SD—which would be > three times the effect of increasing annual family income by $1,000. In other words, instead of having your kids back to back, you wait a year ... and that's equivalent to $3000 of extra family income. OK. Earning 3K extra a year is ridiculously easy. Far more so than worrying about family planning. All I have to do is earn an extra $10 a day. If we split that between my wife and myself, that's an extra $5 a day. I'd rather focus on that. On top of it all, I can actually spend that money ... I can't spend 1 year. ~~~ robrenaud I'd guess that 3k of income is at levels of the median or average family, where it actually matters. 40k vs 43k, that extra $3k might buy your family something important. Whereas at competent hackers income levels, I'd bet the marginal contribution of $1k toward children achievement is a lot lower. The difference between 120k and 123k is much less important. ------ waratuman This is using a predefined standard for being "smart," higher reading and writing skills. First the basis should be established that proves that being smarter, based on this metric, is actually better for every person. I find value in being smarter, but this does not mean that others will. A better metric would be the amount of value the person derives from what he or she is doing. But this is an impossible metric to gather and even if it were it can't be used to compare individuals. ~~~ billpatrianakos I wonder why you got downvoteed? That makes sense, actually. The predefined metric is pretty standard but maybe it is flawed. Then again, everything is relative so we have to have _some_ standard metric and can't be changing it to suit every individual either. ~~~ waratuman Perhaps there is no need for a standard for everyone. Take any student who wishes to enter into an industry, whether it is engineering, philosophy, aviation, or sports. Is there any value for him or her being rated by a standard that does not apply? Instead the student will try to achieve the accepted standard for the industry they enter. How many years after high school will you or any employer care about your transcript? How about college? The experience you have in an industry quickly outweighs the number of years in college, at least in my industry (this may not be true when you need to go to specialized schooling, such as when you enter a medical profession, but I speak of general schooling). ------ angelbob It looks like the abstract basically says that the older child does better with a larger spacing (more dedicated time with parents, possibly), while the younger is basically unaffected. That makes sense to me. ------ carsongross Thank goodness association _is_ causation, otherwise where would be? ------ larrik AKA "You having another baby is bad for your toddler" ~~~ cjfont In many cases your toddler will let you know, too, in the form of jealousy. ------ Roboprog Double and triple take on the title: Throw my kids out an air lock? (Space them!) Send my kids to the ISS? (Space them at least two years) OK, I got this one a bit off :-( ------ georgemcbay Unless you want your own TLC reality show, in which case you should just keep popping them out as fast as you can.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

Ask HN: What collaborative whiteboard are you using? - simonmales I feel my team was way more productive when we all were whiteboarding together when designing new solutions.<p>Recently I have been day dreaming about VR whiteboards and tablet assisted whiteboards as I feel the tactile sense of a pen would help.<p>What are you using today? ====== jtolds Here's the best set up I've used so far: 1) Get the cheapest iPad that supports the Apple Pencil. The 2018 non-Pro was this for me last I looked. 2) Get the Google Jamboard app (not the Jamboard hardware, it is not at all worth it). 3) Share the "jam" with yourself on a different device (a nearby laptop) 4) Screenshare the laptop. Things I think any virtual whiteboard scheme needs to have: 1) You need to be able to see people's faces! If you can't see the people in the video call, good luck having anything feel natural. 2) See #1 again. Having the laptop drive the video call is important so you can configure it to see everyone's face while you present. 3) being able to use a pen to write and a finger to erase (if you have to open a menu, fail. sadly the jamboard app also gets this wrong though their way overpriced hardware gets it right) 4) ideally you have the ability to have an infinitely scrolling whiteboard. Jamboard doesn't do this, but it's close. The Jamboard app also works on phones so other people can fairly easily join in and contribute. This scheme has its problems, but holy crap, so many whiteboard apps focus way too much on fancy new widgets and shapes and text and whatever and not enough on getting out of the way. ~~~ melvinroest Checkout doodledocs.com -- no account creation needed, front-end app only (it doesn't always work behind corporate wifi) It's nowhere near perfect, but it's open source and I'm open to any collaboration on it for fun (even a complete rewrite, I'm not a fan of EmberJS. I explored EmberJS with it). I'm currently noticing an eraser bug when you are in draw mode and they are in eraser mode (d'oh). I didn't know Jamboard existed when I made it. But I made it because I didn't find any app that applies pressure sensitivity and it's quite simple to do (TL;DR modern browsers support pressure sensitivity). You can also annotate websites with it. Though, I didn't get the collaborative aspects of that working. My focus was on the question "what if websites are like paper?" And I ran with it for a month, while exploring EmberJS. For that reason, I don't have an undo, but simply an eraser. It's also why the default style is pencil / pressure-sensitive based (you can have a more pen-like style though). Its main use cases that I use it for are: \- Learning how to draw by tracing images. \- Brainstorming / whiteboarding (empty board) \- Brainstorming / whiteboarding (image loaded via URL) \- Draw over websites (mostly for annotation / having margins to write on) I'm curious to know what you think of it. People can also use an MS Surface or Wacom by the way. ~~~ egfx It’s not exactly mobile friendly. You should direct mobile users to use this on their desktop with some kind of alert. ~~~ melvinroest That is a really good tip!

Anyone know a workaround? ~~~ vjeux Can you open an issue on github? It should work on both mobile and desktop Safari. ------ uzername Our team's have been using Miro for this kind of collaboration. I was surprised that it felt better than using a whiteboard in person, because the cost of changing the already drawn boxes and arrows went way down. For more technical whiteboards, I've been using excalidraw. I like presenting the "drawn" look to help imply that this is an unfinished idea and we're sketching the concepts out. ~~~ facorreia Miro works great for us as well. It's particularly good that multiple people can edit at the same time. It's pretty fast and we reuse the notes across sessions. ------ iandanforth [https://miro.com/](https://miro.com/) (previously realtimeboard.com) ~~~ cygned We use Miro for backlog grooming and idea visualization. The Jira sync is very helpful for us. ~~~ iandanforth I've never used that feature. Can you describe your workflow for backlog grooming of Jira issues in Miro? ~~~ cygned So what we do is importing Jira issues to a Miro board using the Miro Card for Jira plug-in. The development team orders them by difficulty/size horizontally. PO orders them by value vertically. We use that every couple sprints to visualize the overall shape of the backlog. Stories are updated from Miro directly, if necessary. We are currently thinking about keeping Jira issues permanently on a board and then update them, rather than pulling them in just for ordering ------ ldiracdelta An engineer has a problem.

It's not all that useful for actually mimicking a whiteboard, in the sense of drawing arbitrary shapes with a pen. It has a pencil tool, but it's not great. Fortunately, most of what we do is drawing rectangles with text in them and lines between them, and it's pretty good at that. Plus, it supports undo with cmd-z, which most whiteboard apps don't seem to. ~~~ thingsilearned +1 here.

We've got ours also well setup with a big library of assets like buttons, and illustrations we've had made, and different example charts, so if what you're discussing is a new feature or landing page it's really easy to drag in a bunch of ready-made components to express your idea. ------ lovasoa I recommend WBO : [https://wbo.ophir.dev/](https://wbo.ophir.dev/) I am the main developer, and I have been maintaining and using it for several years now. Some of its advantages : \- It is fully open-source, free, and without advertisement. You can easily deploy it to your own server. \- All the whiteboards have an infinite size. \- It is fully web-based, you can use it without installing anything, even on relatively old browsers. \- It's translated in several languages. \- It's actively developed. In-development features include image upload, element resizing, new tools, and others... ~~~ AlexITC Thanks for sharing, looks interesting. By the way, for some reason I have problems scrolling with the trackpad as it scrolls very slowly, while scrolling with the arrow keys works just fine. ~~~ lovasoa You're welcome. Yes, scroll amounts are not consistent between browsers, and we haven't implemented anything yet to work around that. I've opened a github issue to track the problem. ------ wortelefant Mural.co - other than miro, it allows unlimited anonymous co-editing without a need to sihn on.

Collaborative, full-featured, almost as good as a whiteboard/butcher paper and a tall stack of stickie notes. ~~~ wortelefant I experienced two longer outages though in the last momth, both times during workshops.

There are a lot of different price points; I’d love to find the cheapest that is still good enough to be useful. ~~~ stan_rogers Any of the low-end Wacom tablets would do the trick, and you don't need the current model. Previous to the move to "everything is an Intuos now (and the Intuos all become Intuos Pro because 'Pro')", that would have been the Bamboo Creative, and before that the Graphire. All of them are _well_ more than good enough for the task at hand, and if you can pick up old stock (or used) cheaply, go for it. Note, though, that if you've never used a tablet before, it'll take a bit before your movements coordinate - I've always suggested trying to live as much as possible using the tablet in lieu of mouse or trackpad for about a week. Once you've got the knack, it's pretty much with you for life, but it's easy to give up in frustration when you're not used to absolute positioning that's remote from the screen until the moment it all just sort of clicks. ~~~ aaronharnly Thank you! ------ anairs Hands down Miro has been a great tool for.What I really liked about Miro is that it has a desktop app which makes it really snappy, its simple and intuitive to use and has great collaboration features (stickies, comments, notes etc.) hope that helps ~~~ andrethegiant +1 for Miro.

The tools aren't discoverable yet, so to use it: \- option(⌥) + click to create a box \- option(⌥) + drag to create a grouping box \- select a box and option(⌥) + click another to draw an arrow \- select a box and type to edit text would very much appreciate feedback! (email in profile) ~~~ rckoepke As you requested feedback, it's dead simple and I like that. Speed and low friction is super useful in a lot of situations. I have just some "bugs" I guess (Windows Chrome): \- Can only add text to a box immediately after selecting it. Move it first, then cannot add text. Probably should be a blinking insert symbol to indicate when you can edit text or not, as this would at minimum make the state "discoverable". Personally I feel a lot of people will try to double click to edit text. \- Backspace deletes boxes but "delete" does not. ~~~ vivster7 appreciate the feedback. we fixed a bug so text should always be editable if the box is selected. and the "delete" key should also work now. agree the blinking cursor is the standard for indicating if something is text editable. Its proven a bit tricky to get right, but hopefully, we'll have it working soon. ------ aaronharnly I’d love to hear what hardware people are using.

That being said, happy to answer any questions if anyone has any. ~~~ AlexITC As a suggestion, the website allows you to type a room name, which opens a new tab and asks you for the room name again, certainly the second step could be avoided. ~~~ a21y The second step is asking for your name, not the room name, so that you can be identified by others in the room. But noted, there might be room to make that clearer! ------ toddmoy For whiteboarding, I prefer Whimsical (whimical.co) over Figma or Mural. It's focused on digramming, wireframing, and mind-mapping; it's an absolute joy to use. Blazing fast, simple, and stays out of your way. For context, I spend much of my day designing in Figma, which I love as well, but not for whiteboard-style collaboration. ------ taylodl I have a team using IdeaBoardz ([https://ideaboardz.com](https://ideaboardz.com)).

(teams also has a whiteboard tool, but for some reason it is very clunky) If it doesn't have to be collaborative, then I use Onenote, because the scribbles can be saved as meeting notes. It helps that I work at MSFT and everyone uses Windows + has whiteboard installed. ~~~ s1mon OneNote can be collaborative. It also runs reasonably well on an iPad with Apple Pencil. I used this combo for a remote meeting recently while we were all on teams for audio. Some people were using OneNote on Windows and drawing with a mouse. There was occasional sync/lag issues, but I will certainly try it again. The Teams Whiteboard is pretty bad, and clunky to get to in the middle of a meeting. Most Teams users don't even know it's there. As others have mentioned the ideal solution would have an easy way to point at things on the whiteboard. The lack of a hover state on touch based systems makes this more tricky, but there can, of course, be a pointer tool. ~~~ screye > OneNote can be collaborative I have moved to it last week. Let's see how it goes. I love how convenient it is that my natural brainstorming serves as detailed meeting notes. > easy way to point at things on the whiteboard I use whiteboard on my surface, and then project my screen instead of starting whiteboard from team.

Microsoft's Surface line kicks Apple's iPads around the block here, at least partly because the Surface "pen" has a built- in "eraser", but Apple's "pencil" doesn't.

There are some things Figma isn't intended (and as such very good fit) for though, like diagramming/flowcharts, or marking up PDF's - haven't found great multiplayer web apps for those. Feels like concurrent multiuser editing is something that a lot of software would benefit from - maybe something we will look back in 5 years as being weird it didn't exist and we had to send files back and forth to work on something together. Would make working together on almost anything easier remotely. Miro and Mural are also quite nice collab tools, more limited than Figma but some nice things out of the box. ------ ryanmarsh Remote training I've found Google Jamboard has the right mix of features and ease of use for collaborative exercises during training.

You could distribute individual whiteboards to every engineer, and even have a dedicated webcam/tripod setup, for next to nothing. It's not "collaborative" in the sense that remote people can erase stuff on your board, but, I don't think that's a big deal. The "erase API" just becomes "Hey, @iso1631, why don't we get rid of X and replace it with Y?" I suppose if you wanted to try and automate it, you could do so pretty easily with some custom software that just overlays photos of all the boards. The amount of image processing would be pretty trivial. ~~~ iso1631 Normally when we whiteboard we just have one person at the controls anyway ------ me_me_me I have tried few of them, but what I find most infuriating is the lack of keyboard shortcuts. Usually they support only C+z for undo. Switching between pen and eraser by having to actually click an icon is fine on iPad but it drives me up the wall when I am using wacom tablet and keyboard. Does anyone know application that supports keyboard shortcuts? ------ greenfiddlefig We've been LOVING Sprink (trysprink.com) and it's free!

Evaluating whiteboards for a 60-year-old and two 5-year-olds to use together with video chat was.... not super fun. What we've settled on: We do the video chat on an old fullscreen iMac we had lying around. My mom and each kid all have their own iPads. For the first couple of weeks we used a webwhiteboard, but the littles were having a LOT of trouble with it. It's not optimized for iPads. It's easy to click on links in the nav. Different size screens see different regions of the whiteboard. My niece and son kept clearing each other's work and causing fights. I ended up building a little prototype for them with rails/websockets that tried to solve all the dumb stuff that makes it hard to use it on iPads. Apple really doesn't make it easy, though. You can bookmark a page to your homescreen to get rid of the Safari chrome (URL bar is the worst for 5yos), but then you can't have cookies and regular usage (maybe just while fullscreen?) will prompt you that the webpage is trying to steal your passwords (fake keyboard warning). Guided access gets rid of most of the obnoxious gestures they were triggering by accident. I disabled most of the multi-touch events in javascript. I fixed the board size with selectable orientation (portrait/landscape) and set it to scale + aspect-fits to everyone's device. I added a simple host/guest permission model so my mom has a few teacher permissions that the kids don't have. She can either be in teacher mode (she can draw/clear, they can't), class mode (anyone can draw/clear), or student mode where each kid gets their own private board that she can swap between (she can still draw/clear on student boards). I was starting to work on more teaching features -- the ability for her to save/load sketches so she could do lesson plans ahead of time, the ability for her to "broadcast" saved boards to the student boards so she could make assignments for each 5yo to fill out. We had kind of a rough stretch where one of the kids or the other would forget their tablet for about a week, though, and my mom got fed up and just ordered them workbooks for all 3 of them that they could do together. It's still running on Heroku, but I haven't been working on it much lately. [http://yiayiaboard.herokuapp.com/rooms/sLZqbw2KHWi](http://yiayiaboard.herokuapp.com/rooms/sLZqbw2KHWi) I think this is the right model for small-class whiteboards, but I think you'd have to build a native solution to make it usable for kids that small.

What Americans Buy - xxpor http://www.npr.org/blogs/money/2012/04/05/149997097/what-americans-buy?sc=fb&cc=fp ====== lmkg I would like to see those bar graphs, without them being normalized to % of income. For example, a huge difference is the fraction of income spent on food: how much of that is food costs going down, and how much is income going up? Non-noramalized stacked bar graphs of (inflation-adjusted) dollars would answer that better than normalized ones. ~~~ rauljara I actually worked on the project on which the graphic in the Atlantic is based (and which, in turn, this piece is based on). We came up with different percentages because we are looking at a wider swath of spending than this piece is. But here are our numbers for food spending (in billions of 2009 dollars): 1947: 468.7 1967: 637.1 2007: 1,230.2 You might conclude that we are spending dramatically more on food all around, but keep in mind the population of the US in 1947 was less than half what it is now, so those numbers aren't quite as dramatic as they appear. All indications are that on the whole we have much better access to high quality food now (we have more access to things like fresh fruit, and wine), though this is not necessarily true if you are poor. ~~~ smokeyj Are the prices adjusted for inflation? ~~~ olalonde > (in billions of 2009 dollars) Yes. ------ cickpass_broken It may be of interest to some: As food costs have come down in US so have some important nutrients in fruit & veggies. Eating Your Veggies: Not As Good For You?

I find it interesting that despite everything to do with health care, we're only spending approximately 4% more on medical care than we were in 1949. That we are generally buying larger houses is no surprise, but that we're spending a substantially larger portion of our incomes to do so is, while not surprising, certainly interesting in the sense that this binds us to our income streams more than generations past. I don't know the data, so perhaps someone could enlighten me as to whether or not this is because houses are just more expensive than they used to be, or because we just like buying larger houses (possibly for status) than we used to, or whether we just have more income available to spend on houses since we're spending so much less on food and clothing? ~~~ roc The medical care number has to be distorted. I don't know _any_ American families whose contributions toward their insurance premiums alone would amount to only 7% of spending. Not counting co-pays or co-insurance or any out of pocket costs. To get down to 7% they must not be counting employer contributions, those who get medical care from the VA, Medicare or Medicaid, nor people going uninsured and then filing bankruptcy when they get hit with notable medical costs. There is simply no way. ~~~ pdx My insurance (healthy young family of four, $1K deductible per person) costs me 12.6% of my pretax earnings, not including what my employer kicks in. It was over 14% before my last raise, and it would be even higher if my company hadn't aggressively shopped around among several insurers. That's for me as an engineer making almost 100K. What about the guy making $70K with a family of four? It is a huge drain. ~~~ kingnothing On the flip side, I'm paying insurance premiums for only myself and spending less than 1% of my pretax income. The medical, dental, and vision is all excellent. Shop around. You can certainly do better than $1,000 a month (12% of 100k / 12). ~~~ roc > _"You can certainly do better than $1,000 a month"_ For a family of four? Not that I've seen. Even after employer contributions people in my orbit are usually looking at ~$1000 out-of-pocket (granted, pretax) for family medical/dental/drug/vision. ------ timwiseman Perhaps someone could explain this to me, "But too many workers serving a need leads in one direction for prices: Up." I am no economist, but I would expect the opposite. Having too many people in one field would result in a reduction in wages and prices until people started leaving that field as a result and the supply/demand ratio stabilized. What am I missing or misunderstanding? ~~~ dkrich I agree that statement was poorly worded, but I think what they meant is that if a particular good is inefficiently produced, or rather, requires a large investment of human capital, that good is going to be more expensive than if the same good requires fewer workers. I believe that was a reference to the cost of health care. ------ cinquemb I would love to see "What Americans Are Offered To Buy",the advertising spending on it, what products have the most advertising, and then the author presenting a question at the end if we really need those things people are telling us that we should (and continue to) buy the most. ------ jfoutz Mens clothes really jumped out at me. I'd assumed since retail space for women was 7x that dedicated to men, women's clothing would be around 7x that of mens. Something really complicated is going on making those two channels very different. ~~~ noblethrasher Some hypotheses based on anecdotal observations: Women spend more time shopping for men and children than men spend shopping for women and children. Women spend a lot more on shoes than men. Women spend a lot more on accessories than men. Women enjoy shopping more than men so retailers offer more opportunity to browse. ~~~ jfoutz Maybe. At the very least, shoes are a separate category on that chart. One rolex makes up for a ton of less expensive accessories. I think it's more like, the vast majority of clothes are socks, underwear, jeans and t-shirts. Simple, everyday stuff that wears out. I'd bet the sales of this stuff pretty much equals out. However, there's a layer of "nice" clothes. mens stuff is more expensive, but lasts and is fashionable longer. Suits vs dresses might be a good example. I'd also guess men are spending more on clothes than they have historically. ------ kerryiob A few important things that aren't being discussed: If your income level drops, it should be relatively easy to cut back on food expenses. You can simply eat less or buy less expensive food. Not great options, but possible. On the other hand, if you income level drops, it's can be very difficult to reduce housing costs fast. Thus I would think that people are more vulnerable to unexpected drops in income. Same thing goes for medical costs. It can be very difficult to reduce those without sacrificing health. Another big issue is that in 1962 most households were single income. Most mothers were at home. If the husband lost his job, there were 2 potential wage earners that could theoretically renter the job market to regain the needed income. Today most households are dual income, and require all of that income to pay the bills. So if one personal loses their job, there isn't a backup worker able to enter the workforce if needed. So again, more vulnerability to reduced income. ~~~ usaar333 Great points. > On the other hand, if you income level drops, it's can be very difficult to > reduce housing costs fast. Thus I would think that people are more > vulnerable to unexpected drops in income. I was shocked to see how high housing was. 31.3% just for rent or mortgage? You are screwed in a two person household if someone loses a job. And 5.4% for utilities? I assume that includes mobile, but that feels incredibly high. ~~~ Tloewald What's the median household income post tax? Can't find a good figure but it's around $50k pretax. Which is I guess 40k ish post tax, $3.5k or so per month. So 5% of that is $175. Phone, cable, water, trash, electricity? ------ marrakech Lenin said that there are in progressive order: lies, total lies, and finally statistics. Anybody here spending 3% of their income on health care? I mean in most cases insurance premiums alone are much more than 3% of average income. Not to mention things like cancer that cost about 500k on average to treat. Who takes this data seriously? ------ te_platt It would be interesting to see how total income is allocated. That would include income taxes, debt payments, and other things that aren't purchases. Also, I think it's interesting that recreational spending has increased very little. Are we already saturated with all the recreation we want? ~~~ eli_gottlieb Why would we spend more on recreation when we have less time for it? ------ seancoughlin Grocery spending versus restaurant/ deli spending stands out to me: 8.6% on Groceries vs. 5.7% on some version of eating out. In a better scenario, groceries, being cheaper and generally healthier than food "eaten out" would make up a bigger percentage of total food spend. That said, as a 20something single guy, I don't remember the last time I went to a grocery store and i think i manage my money pretty well. I'd like to see these food spend #s (and the rest of these #s) broken down for income levels and other demographics ~~~ waterside81 The implication of your comment is you eat out 3 (or more/less) times a day, 7 days a week? Out of curiosity, what kinds of foods are you buying? How much would you say you spend a week on food? ~~~ cobrausn In my early 20s I was somewhat like the OP - I would eat out for pretty much every meal. The trick to it was only eating twice a day, or once if you could manage it. The end result was actually fairly inexpensive depending upon where you were eating. Of course, that was back when my body could handle this kind of abuse. ------ JVIDEL So a "niche" startup with a solid monetization plan would involve selling cheap alcohol and cirrhosis pills?

If they wanted something like this to work you should use squares instead of circles regardless. ~~~ MaxGabriel My only experience is reading Tufte, so I have a question for you. If you based the circles' area on the data, rather than making the circles based off the radius based off the data, you wouldn't be misconstruing the data, right? ------ wisty Engle's law - the consumption of food drops as income rising.

Jim Mellon and high-profile partners roll the dice on an anti-aging upstart - discombobulate https://endpts.com/british-billionaire-jim-mellon-and-high-profile-partners-roll-the-dice-on-an-anti-aging-upstart/ ====== easytiger An interesting area investment wise. Really don't know what to make of it as I do see a great deal of risk in these companies personally, that somehow others are happy with. No real products, no real roadmap. Jim has also made some very bad pharma calls in the past and had some very clueless people running his pharma companies. That said he looks to have done some real research. > The primary game plan at Juvenescence, explains Bailey, is to come up with > various operations engaged in developing new anti-aging drugs > Juvenescence Bio will be charged with building the pipeline, says Bailey, in > part with the molecules that will be identified through the AI venture. To me that's a warning sign. I like the ambition. This is Elon Musk level stuff. But he isn't crazy enough to deal in unproven potential outcomes. He knew rockets can go to space, he knew electric cars can drive, he knew batteries can store energy/money. He knew what he could sell when he solved the issues Here i'm not sure they know what they will have in the end and that would scare me off. ~~~ colbyh this is the difference between basic and applied research - Musk is doing great work in the applied research space. taking proven models and bringing them to market, bringing down costs, etc. anti-aging research is still in the basic phase - it might be decades before techniques can be applied with any sort of scale. in that sense you really do need huge institutions (or in this case, billionaires) to fund it all. retail investors like you (assuming) and I really can't get involved at the scale or timelines these sorts of ventures require. ~~~ easytiger Indeed. Very pleased of course someone is willing to take risks. This is how we ended up with railways, undersea telegraph, commercial commodotised flight and so on. ------ idlewords This is an interesting case where it's hard to separate rationality from human nature. On the one hand, people don't want to lose their investment. On the other hand, people really, really don't want to die. So as billionaires get older, they are going to feel a lot of psychological pressure to believe life- extension startup stories they might not find as credible in another context. I think one nice way to solve this is to require a small, objective proof of concept for startups claiming to have a rejuvenating technology. I propose they solve baldness. It will not only demonstrate the technology, but remove the funding problem entirely. ~~~ jacquesm > This is an interesting case where it's hard to separate rationality from > human nature. The Roman Catholic Church has had this thing sewn up for at least a millennium. Giving large amounts of money to the church on your deathbed is a surefire way to open the gates of heaven, or so I'm told. ~~~ tptacek Maybe in the time of the Medicis. The Roman Catholic Church doesn't give much of a fuck whether you give them a dime today. It's not that kind of organization. ~~~ jacquesm Haha. That's so funny. You should have been around when my grandmother died. They took her for a pretty penny. Not that I care because I didn't want any money from her anyway but they sure know who their marks are. In Poland just about every interaction with the church has a price tag attached to it, ditto in Spain. There's a reason the Vatican is lined with gold and it has precious little to do with the Medicis and everything to do with tithe, real estate, compound interest and outright scams. ~~~ idlewords jacquesm is right, the Polish church is a complete racket. A small example—my father wanted to be buried in the family crypt in Warsaw. This meant having to pay off his parish (he was not a churchgoer, but everyone is assigned a parish), and then pay off the parish the cemetery was in to allow the transfer (in addition to all the regular burial fees). The most popular conservative priest in Poland drives a Maybach. Priests in Poland will go door to door once or twice a year basically collecting envelopes. Not paying them complicates your life. ~~~ tptacek That is deeply fucked up. ~~~ jacquesm Not as bad as in Romania, but there it is the Orthodox church rather than the Roman Catholic one. They're spending 100 million euros fleeced from some of the poorest people in the EU on a new church right now just to it will be the biggest in a country that could _really_ use that money in better ways.

The more the merrier in that field to join Unity Biotechnology, Oisin Biotechnologies, SIWA Therapeutics, etc. Everything else outside the SENS portfolio that can be accomplished via drug discovery to alter the operation of metabolism, focusing on known targets such as mTOR, is most likely a pointless waste of time and energy. It has been a pointless waste of time and energy for the past two decades, and I don't see that changing any time soon. The approach of trying to mimic calorie restriction or upregulate autophagy or mess with growth hormone/insulin metabolism or mimic exercise has very definite upper bounds on effectiveness. The longevity dividend promise of "spend billions to add a couple of years of life expectancy by 2040" is underwhelming, and anyone out there talking about drug discovery to alter metabolism to slow aging is in that camp. If billions are to be spent, then use them to follow the SENS approach of damage repair, not tinkering the system to slightly slow down the pace of damage accumulation. Only damage repair, such as via senolytics to clear senescent cell accumulation, can in principle produce rejuvenation of the old and greatly extended healthy life spans, more than just a few years. It is not a coincidence that senescent cell clearance has in a few short years, just as soon as people started to try it in earnest, proven itself far more effective and reliable and useful than the past 20 years of people trying to mimic calorie restriction or boost autophagy. ~~~ kanzure I think most of this money would be better spent focused on reducing the cost of life extension research, like essential tooling, not spelunking through combinatorial search space for drugs. Granted, this is more of an engineering approach, so I could see why biologists might prefer tinkering with oxidation pathways. If a synthetic genome costs $40 million then how are you going to try out 1,000 low-aging variants of the genome without spending an impossibly large amount of money? The cost centers need to be ruthlessly attacked-- sequencing, synthesis, combinatorial array testing, scale-up of arbitrary biomolecule production, debugging methodologies (optogenetics has been a tremendous success), etc. ~~~ true_religion $40 million times 1000, is forty billion dollars. This is less than half the networth of Bill Gates. If a single-mans fortune could potentially fund the entire thing, then for sure a coalition of wealth could easily fund it if there was even a mild guarantee for success. ~~~ kanzure Well, low-aging phenotypes (and genotypes) have already been discovered in the population. Doesn't make you invincible, of course. How mild of a guarantee are you looking for, again? ------ narrator It's great how trying to live forever went from being considered impossible to something that Google and many billionaires are investing a lot of money into.

There is a line I remember from Gibbon's "Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire" that goes something like "There is neither art nor skill at arms which will protect one man from one hundred of his fellows." In context, it's referring to the fact that even Roman emperors could be murdered by a relatively small coalition of men. No matter how rich and powerful a person is, a few people working together and willing to sacrifice can kill that rich and powerful person. Technology seems to imperil this age old truth. What about an immortal billionaire with drones, AI, and a robot army? The coming elite will have power that no human individual, or even organization, has ever had.

Ask HN: What kind of scoring algorithms exist? - esflow Hi HN, in my project I need to sort apartments and there is a lot of data about each of them. I give each parameter score, f.e. to the size of the apartment I give some certain score, to location as well, but it doesn't really work well because I don't understand how to give the weight to each parameter. Question: Is there some sort of guideline on scoring/sorting things, some algorithms that might help? Or you might have some suggestions on where to look for information about such things. Thanks! ====== PaulHoule It's tricky. Read up on Pareto Optimization. You can't really trade off square footage vs commute length linearly because there is no objective criterion. What you can do is prove that Apartment A has fewer square feet than Apartment B and a longer commute so A is dominated by B. Out of your complete set of apartments you can that there is a small set that dominate all the others. When you are down to that you can make your personal choice from that set. ~~~ esflow At this moment how I do it: The initial score is 0, based on year of construction (newer is better ofc) I add 0-36 points, amount of square meters I multiply by 0.5 and add it as extra points, based on how prestigious is the district I add extra 0-4 points and there are many other things. So why it's not possible like that to give score to each apartment? I mean if I find right weight for each parameter? How f.e. google rates websites, I guess it gives some kind of score to each of them? Or not? ~~~ PaulHoule An obvious problem is that the linear score doesn't represent the value I feel I get from the attribute. For instance, I live in a 2000 sq ft. space, I will have to store things if I move into a 1500 sq ft. space, and have to sell them or throw them out if I move to a 500 sq ft. space. A 3000 sq ft space would feel spacious to me but I would not get 10x the utility if I had a 30,000 sq ft space because I don't have enough stuff to fill it. See [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility) ~~~ esflow That's why I'm wondering how to score it. If I give too much weight to the surface it won't make sense definitely. So at the beginning surface and price were the most important so then I had a lot of really big and cheap apartments from suburbs as first results, which didn't make sense, then I introduced rating based on district and few other parameters and it improved rating a lot but still, it's not good enough. I will check this Utility, thanks. ------ teh_g For real estate, a quick and dirty solution that comes to mind is asking price per square foot, assuming that the market itself has taken into account all the common relevant factors. Unless price is something you intend to test against, of course. ~~~ esflow But even in the same neighborhood super well-furnished apartment and shell apartment will have very different prices per square foot. Also depending on construction year price per square can greatly differ. ------ curo Hopefully I understand your problem correctly... You can use window functions to do things like dense rank, rank, percentiles, etc on each parameter in order to normalize the data. E.g., this one is at the 63rd percentile in size, 20th in distance, etc. This doesn't work so well if you have lots of 0s in your data. Or you can find the min and max of each and divide by the max. This one is 42% of max, etc. In each case you're trying to normalize diff parameters to represent something comparable (x/max, percentile, etc) so you can combine them. You can also do intermediate operations like take the logs or take the z score if you're trying to muffle the effects of outliers. ~~~ esflow Thanks a lot, I will try it and test how well it works. ------ xaedes The problem you describe is known as "multi objective optimization". Normalizing the input data to similar ranges usually helps, but there is no single golden rule how to weight. It depends on what you want to accomplish. But regardless of any weighting in multi objective optimization problems there is a subset of all items (apartments in your case) that is better then all the items not in this set. This set is called the "pareto front". There are methods to compute this set. You can't decide which item of the pareto front is better than another; it is a rock, scissors, paper situation. But the pareto front can exclude a lot of items, that you then don't need to consider. These items are worse in every aspect (optimization objective) than any item from the pareto front. As a computer science student we often used population based optimization methods for dealing with multi objective optimization. For example ant colony optimization or evolutionary algorithms. ------ jventura In these kind of things I usually start by multiplying (or dividing) the parameters to get a score (weight=1). Then I sort them, see if they look "good" and add weights as needed. My thinking is that the first result should match my preferences and the last result should not. I know it's a kind of confirmation bias, but.. When I bought my car years ago, I had some parameters, but comparing the price was harder because of devaluation. I remember that I assumed a 15% yearly devaluation so that I could compare prices. For instance, a 2000's car valued 1000€ was almost similar in price to a 1999's car valued 850€.. I make sure to always include a "Preference" (aka bias) parameter and give it more or less weight the more it harms my results. ------ mmb_ if i were you i would look to PCA analysis and cluster analysis. PCA can help find what are the key (reduced) set of drivers/dimensions that provide you with the ability to explain the majority of your variability. Cluster analysis could help you group the data you have in meaninful reduced set of groups and then you can measure dimensions within clusters and between clusters to help you come up with a strong score system. Again assuming you have a relative high dimensional problem with many data ~~~ esflow Yes, there are several thousand apartments. Based on what to cluster them? ------ inertiatic Well, rank based on what? You need a metric to optimise for. Maybe that's price, or maybe that's user clicks or bookings if you're Airbnb. ~~~ esflow Rank based on apartment data, like surface, district, price, year of construction, number of rooms, etc. So based on it to rate apartment, in the end, to sort it from the best to worst :) ~~~ inertiatic Again, you don't have a metric to optimize. You could, for a simple example, label a number of these properties yourself, with values. Say you could go rate 1000 of them with a rating out of 10. Then you could learn the importance for each of these parameters by trying to approximate your rating (regression of some kind). Alternatively, because labeling a lot of these, and doing so accurately is a non-trivial task, you can look into generating these ratings. In learning to rank for search for example, you can extract this information from interactions the users have with your items. ------ brudgers Cosign similarity is a standard method of searching multi-dimensional data.

WhatsApp Rolls Out End-To-End Encryption to Its Over 1B Users - randomname2 https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2016/04/whatsapp-rolls-out-end-end-encryption-its-1bn-users ====== ianpurton It's great that WhatsApp can't see my cat pictures anymore. But there are 2 privacy and free speech issues that are not met. Firstly META DATA. They know who I contact, when I contact them and how frequently. So people could derive information about me based on who I talk to. Secondly, they can ban me. Perhaps the EFF need to add more criteria to their secure message score card. [https://www.eff.org/secure-messaging-scorecard](https://www.eff.org/secure- messaging-scorecard) But on the whole, a positive move. ~~~ maxerickson When the client is a phone and the service is rapid messaging, how do you even begin to solve the metadata problem? Even with opaque routing the phone company can correlate activity times. ~~~ nxzero There's never a single right solution, but if traffic analysis was the issue, endpoints could introduce latency, use Tor, sync/mix traffic with other endpoints via P2P, inject fake traffic, etc. - though if the core system leaks metadata, this would be pointless. ~~~ 21 Messaging apps are often used outside, with limited bandwidth, and are highly interactive. I would be annoyed to wait more than 0.5 sec until my message is delivered. Maybe an "ultra-secure" mode could be created, and if you enable that for a chat, traffic could be routed through tor. And you would have a separate list of "ultra-secure" contacts, which are not based on phone-numbers. ~~~ maxerickson Special routing for the ultrasecure messages highlights that they were requested to be ultrasecure and makes correlation easier (by reducing the candidate pool). ~~~ 21 Right, but it would be like the ISP knowing that you use Tor. Useful, but not that much if you do it constantly. This ultra-secure mode for example could send a 1 KB packet every 15 minutes, weather you are talking with someone or not. Something would also need to be done to incoming packets, so that they won't stand out. I'm sure there is a suitable protocol out there. This would increase latency and reduce capacity, but this is why it's called ultrasecure, some inconveniences are expected. ------ lrei Apps that force you to give them (and everyone else) your phone numbers for .. ummm ... "contact discovery" and yet talk about privacy are a bit of a contradiction. No plausible reason for why apps like WhatsApp (and Signal) couldn't use e-mail addresses for this. Or at least provide it as an alternative. It's even problematic for people who change phone numbers, have multiple phones, want to use desktop clients, etc My opinion: if it requires a phone number, it's not really interested in privacy. Move on. ~~~ BhavdeepSethi I feel there is no relation to privacy here. It's also the practical choice. Emails can be easily created to by people pretending to be someone else. If you have someone's number on your phone, there is a good chance you have communicated with them before and have thus done some authentication. You can keep creating new email ids to spam people. That becomes very difficult with numbers. ~~~ lrei Sure there is. My phone number is private information. And it can trivially be traced back to me (no possibility of anonymity). I don't necessarily want to share it with everyone I want to talk to. Or every company that makes a chat app. I'm pretty sure Snowden didn't start out by giving his phone number around... Plus every successful chat app before WhatsApp (from ICQ, XMPP apps, MS Messenger, Google Chat, Facebook Messenger) was fine without this requirement. Is the hypothesis that it is now impossible to have a successful chat app without it being tied to a phone number? We are not discussing a convenience "option" the user can skip but rather a requirement for these apps to work. ~~~ pfg WhatsApp is a mobile messaging app. It's a drop-in replacement for SMS. There would be absolutely no reason for _anyone_ to use WhatsApp if they were just another chat app with their own contact discovery that's not based on phone numbers. Their market share would be miniscule. No one is forcing you to use a messaging app which is using your phone number as an identifier to contact anyone you don't want to see your phone number. ~~~ lrei No one is forcing anyone to make claims about privacy either. 1) New social networks tend to replace old social networks: I'm not forced to use it but, for example, I can't go back to XMPP because others don't use it anymore. Meaning the option is not to communicate. 2) If everyone, including open-source developers (e.g. Signal), are doing this now and no-one is developing alternatives that run on modern platforms and are easy to use in non error-prone way w/o phone numbers, what exactly are the options even disregarding social network effects? 3) I doubt it's fully clear to many people what can be inferred from metadata related being trivial to prove who they spoke to and when. E.g. if it had been trivial for the NSA to know that one of its contractors was chatting with reporters it would've been game over for Snowden. In courts, circumstantial evidence like this can still be (and has been) used to imply guilt. Implying privacy under these circumstances seems unwise. 4) WhatsApp is mobile, fast, reliable and easy to use; Most of their competition at the time it launched and even now can't match that. This includes FB Messenger, Skype, Google, MS Messenger, etc I'm not sure it is proven that their success is entirely due to phone numbers. I've seen lots of people exchange phone numbers just for whatsapp. ~~~ pfg > 1) New social networks tend to replace old social networks: I'm not forced > to use it but, for example, I can't go back to XMPP because others don't use > it anymore. Meaning the option is not to communicate. Right, but this is a _mobile messaging app_. There are still hundreds of _desktop_ (or: not primarily mobile) messaging apps out there, many of which are _very_ popular, and they're not going away any time soon. Phone numbers are how mobile phones are usually identified, and to ask a _mobile_ messaging app to use something else for identification is, to put it bluntly, quite silly. > 2) If everyone, including open-source developers (e.g. Signal), are doing > this now and no-one is developing alternatives that run on modern platforms > and are easy to use in non error-prone way w/o phone numbers, what exactly > are the options even disregarding social network effects? There's nothing in the protocol that forces anyone to use phone numbers as identifiers. The current users of the Signal protocol just _happen_ to be mobile messaging apps, where it makes sense to use phone numbers as identifiers. > 3) I doubt it's fully clear to many people what can be inferred from > metadata related being trivial to prove who they spoke to and when.

Now you're talking about metadata, and that's a different topic entirely. Merely using a pseudonym instead of your phone number as an identifier is going to do exactly _nothing_ to prevent any of the things you mentioned.

No one has proven it either way. I can't be certain they would've been successful, you can't they wouldn't. But I do submit as evidence of my hypothesis that several social networks were successful on mobile without it (e.g. Twitter, Instagram and Facebook). ~~~ pfg > But I do submit as evidence of my hypothesis that several social networks > were successful on mobile without it (e.g. Twitter, Instagram and Facebook). All of those examples use phone numbers as (at the very least) a secondary contact discovery mechanism on mobile. All but Instagram had existing user bases when they went into the mobile market. None of them are primarily a messaging app. Do you have an example of a _popular_ mobile messaging app without phone number-based contact discovery? ~~~ lrei Do you have an example of a popular mobile messaging app other than WhatsApp ~~~ pfg WeChat has over 650 million users, mostly in China. Quoting Wikipedia: "WeChat allows people to add friends by a variety of methods, including searching by username or phone number, adding from phone or email contacts [...]" ~~~ lrei Good one. ------ tptacek EFF should stop with this silly scorecard. I hate the thing because it's inaccurate and incoherent (arguments I've made ad nauseam elsewhere on HN), but on this thread you can see another good reason: it makes EFF the ref, and crowds always try to work the ref. So whatever "score" WhatsApp gets, it's the wrong score, because: not open source; because: runs on iPhones; because: metadata; because: Facebook is evil, &c. ~~~ Findeton But the point the EFF makes is very important. If the code is not open source, we just cannot verify the security of the application. All applications must be considered unsafe unless we can review the code. We can't review Whatsapp's source code, and therefore Whatsapp is to be considered unsafe. So yeah, Whatsapp has made a probably positive move, but it is still largely unsafe. ~~~ simonh But if the code is open source, we _can_ verify it's security? Heartbleed and Shellshock, the two most significant vulnerabilities found in heavily used open source software, were found by vulnerability testing and not code inspection. So while being open source is a nice-to-have attribute for a piece of software, that's as far as it goes. Painting open source as being a magical wand that wishes away all our security troubles is completely out of order. Edit: I'll go further. It's become dismayingly apparent that very little systematic code review of open source software in order to secure it is actually taking place. It now seems quite possible that the most thorough investigations of software vulnerability, via code analysis or any other techniques, are carried out by those wishing to exploit them. They are well funded and highly motivated. Looked at in that light, the balance may well tip towards open source actually increasing the likelihood of software vulnerabilities being exploited maliciously. The open source community has a long way to go if it's going to clearly demonstrate that it's model is advantageous, and complacent pronouncements of it's assumed superiority like this aren't going to achieve that. ~~~ lmm > But if the code is open source, we _can_ verify it's security? No - the code could be "open source" but unreadable. But if it's not open- source there's definitely nothing we can do. > Heartbleed and Shellshock, the two most significant vulnerabilities found in > heavily used open source software, were found by vulnerability testing and > not code inspection. So while being open source is a nice-to-have attribute > for a piece of software, that's as far as it goes a) afl-fuzz and the like require access to the source code. b) Those were the vulnerabilities that made it into production. They tell you nothing about what proportion of potential vulnerabilities were stopped by it being open source. ~~~ tptacek Fuzzers _do not_ require source code. That is absolutely false. Afl-fuzz does, but you badly overplayed your hand by adding "and the like". Fuzzing proprietary closed source protocols by instrumenting closed-source binaries is a bread-and-butter software security project that virtually any application security consultant can do effectively. ~~~ JoachimSchipper And even afl has qemu-mode, although I have no idea how well that works. ------ _wmd This is quite a cavalier recommendation for proprietary unaudited (for the public at least) spyware that uploads your phone book to a company participating in PRISM. ~~~ kccqzy WhatsApp doesn't upload your phone book. All contact info resolution is done locally. ~~~ _wmd How does the app figure out another telephone number has a WhatsApp account? How does it fetch profile information for that telephone number without communicating the desire to fetch it to WhatsApp? Perhaps WhatsApp ships their entire profile photo and telephone number database to every phone ~~~ kccqzy There are two things here: a) the app can take a snapshot of your phone book, upload it, associate it with your own WhatsApp account, and then keep the remote version synchronised; and b) the app can periodically perform disparate requests to the central directory server to query the profile information for each number. As far as I know, WhatsApp uses approach b. These two may seem similar but in approach b, WhatsApp the service wouldn't learn of any contact removals. WhatsApp the app would, of course, but the service wouldn't. Now, with some simple filtering and statistics, WhatsApp the service can deduce your phone book with some certainty, but I believe most would agree that it is materially different from actually uploading your phone book. ~~~ pfg > Now, with some simple filtering and statistics, WhatsApp the service can > deduce your phone book with some certainty, but I believe most would agree > that it is materially different from actually uploading your phone book. No, not really. Both implementations give WhatsApp a complete list of all my contacts. The fact that one of those implementations _might_ not be 100% accurate because of deleted contacts changes nothing - if you're someone who's worried about a third party having your contact list, it doesn't make sense to think "but hey, they don't know I removed $FOO last week, so their list isn't 100% accurate!". Both implementations mean you'll have to take their word on what they will and won't do with the data, so there's really not much of a practical difference. ------ jfindley Doesn't appear to mention metadata at all. While metadata is somewhat tangential to the actual encryption, it's still a vital part of a truly secure messaging platform - who we talk to reveals quite a lot about us. I'm not sure how solvable this is without sacrificing the usability that makes whatsapp as nice to use as it is, and I certainly don't want to take away from how great it is that they've done this - but it is important not to lose sight of the fact that encrypting the contents of your messages is only one part of the puzzle. ~~~ edhelas It's the same problem with Signal actually ;) All the communications of the official clients are sent to some "official" Signal Amazon servers (see [https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal- Android/blob/master...](https://github.com/WhisperSystems/Signal- Android/blob/master/build.gradle#L166-172)). Doing end to end encryption is nice, but I really think that having a decentralized AND standard architecture is also very important. ------ eeturunen Too bad 8/10 of your contacts have automatic backups to iCloud or Google Drive enabled. Kind of defeats the idea of "end-to-end". More like end-to-end-to- cloud. ~~~ rtkwe Apps can control the content that they backup to Google, I'm going to guess Apple has something similar. [http://developer.android.com/training/backup/autosyncapi.htm...](http://developer.android.com/training/backup/autosyncapi.html) ------ qetuo That's nice. What I really want to know is, can Mark Zuckerberg read my messages? Do WhatsApp servers have access to the private keys needed to decrypt my communications? If the answer to those questions is "yes", then it's great that we are now protected from most cybercriminals, but the NSA is probably monitoring our messages. If the answer to those questions is "no", I may actually decide to start using WhatsApp. ~~~ rmellow They cannot read your messages. The entire idea behind this is to give them a claim of technical infeasability if they are served with a warrant. However, if there is/will be some sort of back door to cease encryption without the user's knowledge, that's another matter which really would require it being open source. ~~~ efdee How will it being open source guarantee you that the app you downloaded from the platform's store is using the exact same code? ~~~ dingo_bat You can compile the binary yourself and match the SHA1 against the binary downloaded from the store. It seems quite trivial. ~~~ MajesticHobo It's not that easy. Due to toolchain and platform differences, there is no guarantee that your compiler will produce the same binary as the official distribution. This is why deterministic, reproducible builds are a growing area of interest right now. ------ ekianjo EFF recommending closed source clients, erm they just drop in my esteem. ~~~ vulpino They deduct points as it's still open source. And they are more applauding the fact that WhatsApp - probably the most widely used messaging app currently - has adopted strong end to end encryption, something which other clients have been loathe to do. This is a win. To disregard everything that WhatsApp and Signal have accomplished because WhatsApp isn't open source is silly. ~~~ sickbeard No but to blindly trust in it is silly. Even openssl had a heart-bleed bug that persisted for years without most people realizing it. All it takes is one bug for the entire thing to be useless. ~~~ vulpino And heartbleed is also than example of open source not being totally secure. It was a bug that persisted for years before it was found - and OpenSSL is open source. It's just as foolish to blindly trust OSS. There will always be holes - the main point to OSS is not to combat these, as they will exist regardless. Rather, it is so one might know exactly what they're installing/using, without having to trust the corporation behind it. ~~~ sickbeard no it's foolish to trust something that hasn't been independently reviewed. How can EFF recommend something that hasn't even been subjected to an independent security audit? ------ 1024core But WhatsApp requires a phone number, and requires that the recipient (of your message) have your number in their contacts list (or at least you should have their number in your contacts). Once your number (and your contacts') have been leaked to WhatsApp, enough metadata has been leaked to make communication risky. Why doesn't WhatsApp allow anonymous communication? I should be able to create ephemeral WhatsApp "IDs", and anyome who knows my "ID" should be able to communicate with me anonymously and securely, no strings attached. ------ confusedjs This is a bit weird. I don't believe WhatsApp are lying but there's absolutely no proof they're not. I could release a closed source app with a bunch of padlocks in it and copy/paste their white paper and have exactly the same level of proof of security. Would I get a 7/10 from EFF? ~~~ ikeboy If you had the credibility of a billion dollar company behind you saying that you're not making it up, then probably. ~~~ teddyh I didn’t know credibility was measured in dollars. ~~~ ikeboy Reputational damage is higher for entities with more money. Therefore their credibility of not doing something that causes reputational damage is higher. ~~~ pdkl95 > Reputational damage is higher for entities with more money. In what world? Big business figured out a long time ago that most of the time their bad actions _won 't be noticed_ by most people. The rest can often be fixed with some inexpensive spin and PR. Their reputation is only damaged when a scandal is _very_ large and in the right place and time to be noticed. A "billion dollar company" necessarily has a strong profit motive. It's also subject to the codes and regulations of the country in which they operate. The former damages their credibility (they will do what is profitable, not what is moral), and the latter makes communication platforms suspect (government involvement). Of course, we don't have to speculate - this is Facebook. They are not only part of Prism, but their entire business is based on surveillance. Not only do they have _zero_ credibility for respecting privacy, they are actively _hostile_. ~~~ ikeboy You're disputing that it causes reputational damage, not that reputational damage scales with money. I'm _not_ saying that they'd lose reputation from "not respecting privacy". That's not considered that bad by the general public. I'm saying that they'd lose reputation from "claiming to release a feature while lying through their teeth about it". ------ shaggy It's important to point out that all the Whisper Systems code is open source ([https://github.com/whispersystems/](https://github.com/whispersystems/)). So if you have concerns, go read their code. Some of the best minds in security have, and they've come away with good things to say. There's a desktop version of Signal coming, which I'd personally be inclined to use over WhatsApp, but this is still a fantastic move. ------ lazyjones It's an improvement, but proper end-to-end encryption on unsafe devices is about as useful as seat belts on an airplane. ~~~ decasteve So it protects you from bad turbulence but in a catastrophe you are still screwed. ------ lifeisstillgood I am still trying to wrap my head around privacy in the modern age, and this triggered something for me - this is the end of the privacy-at-a-distance problem. There is a large body of law around making distance communication private ("secure in ones papers" I think is the phrase from American law. Not allowing people to steam open your letters etc) This move, which I am including the inevitable "pgp emails using whatsapp collected public/private keys" seems destined to end the problem - two hundred years of law, one code release. Really sure an email app will be next now they are building a base of secure keys Edit: it's now the purview of regulation to require me to keep / handover private conversations as pre-Snowden and that seems a good thing. It forces surveillance to be active and open once again ------ SeanDav I am so cynical (or is that realistic?) these days, that I would not trust the encryption on WhatsApp as far as I can throw a large, adult saltwater crocodile. ~~~ kasey_junk They implemented a known & vetted encryption protocol with expert consultation from the outside. Its one of the most widely distributed apps in the world & thus likely to have lots of people looking at it. If you don't trust it, is there any possible encryption scheme you would trust? ~~~ darklajid I think the general trust issues people have are \- metadata / contact lists in the hand of Facebook \- a proprietary binary that _claims_ to use said encryption schemes Scenarios that you could come up with: The next version of WhatsApp sends unencrypted data again. WhatsApp encrypts for your recipient just fine, but also encrypts the same message for the great Facebook skeleton key. Basically trust is a bigger problem than you acknowledge here, I think. If you trust the encryption scheme, even the specific encryption implementation, then you still need to trust the (binary, closed) application. Ignoring the metadata issue completely for now. ~~~ rtkwe >The next version of WhatsApp sends unencrypted data again. >WhatsApp encrypts for your recipient just fine, but also encrypts the same message for the great Facebook skeleton key. Both of these can and would show up in an analysis of the code. ------ sleepychu web.whatsapp.com still works, so clearly it's possible for something outside my phone to gain access to my phone generated keys. That doesn't seem backdoorable to me /s. ~~~ pfg WhatsApp Web communicates directly with your phone. You have to authorize the session from within the app. Communication between your browser and the app is end-to-end encrypted. ~~~ sleepychu I hadn't thought about re-encrypting the messages for end to end communication with the browser so it's a plus that the phone doesn't have to give away its keys _but_ there exists a mechanism for the phone to retransmit the messages, because we can't see the source we have no idea if there's a way for WhatsApp to trigger this remotely and as such create a back door. ~~~ pfg The existence of this feature has no implications on the question of whether or not there's a backdoor in the client. The current implementation requires approval by the _client_. A hypothetical backdoor could be anywhere, and you wouldn't know about it unless you check the bytecode. ------ tinus_hn This is quite a big win for privacy. If you use Whisper, Tor or most of the other privacy minded communications mediums, you are in a small minority so you stand out. Because a very large part of the population is using Whatsapp this allows you to communicate privately without standing out. ------ darkhorn What happens when I log on to WhatsApp Web? How they send my private key from my phone to my web browser? ~~~ nickik They do not. They create a e2e connection between your phone and your browser. Everything goes threw the phone. ~~~ osweiller To post a follow-up comment, what happens when you lose your phone, or simply move to a new phone? Presumably you've lost all of your private keys (I mean...obviously they must not upload them or this would all be farce), message history, etc, right? ~~~ tinus_hn Your message history is lost unless you back it up yourself. Your contacts receive a message stating you changed the key once you send them a message or they send you one. I'd presume any messages that were sent before you activated the new key, but not received yet, cannot be decrypted any more. I do not know how this works with push messages though; it used to be such that these can only be sent as-is so the server would need the key. ------ antihero Has the WhatsApp code been audited by trusted third parties? I know it's not quite as good as it being open source, but if we had people we trust audit it, that seems like a good step. Also, disassembly and teardown. I think something this big needs people to really really scrutinise it. ------ gcr How does the WhatsApp encryption model differ from Apple's iMessage encryption model? \- In iMessage, Apple handles key distribution, so if I'm in your contacts, I know the keys for all of your Apple devices. (I'm guessing the private key stays on the device, but I'm not sure). \- iMessage seems to provide no way of verifying someone's key fingerprint. \- On the other hand, whatsApp seems to force you and your contacts to meet at a Starbucks so you can distribute and sign each other's public keys. Interesting. What other differences are there? (to make this easier, let's assume that both companies implemented the system the way they claim they did) ~~~ osweiller The app automatically distributes public keys, to my knowledge, and the QR code is merely a validation mechanism to ensure that no MITM is substituting keys. The EFF seems to think the QR code thing is the bee's knees. In practice, I would wager less than 0.1% of users will make use of that functionality. It's more of a placebo. ~~~ tinus_hn If there is widespread snooping even a small percentage of users verifying their keys will expose it. ~~~ osweiller If there was widespread snooping, it would imply either WhatsApp collaboration or compromise, in which case the app could show whatever they wanted it to show (or they could just upload all of the private keys, which they may very well do in any case). However I was talking about QR code versus the widely known fingerprint. The EFF seems to think the QR code is just a huge improvement, but I just don't think it will see any usage at all over the fingerprint, but instead it provides the illusion of security ala "look there's this complex thing...and some people must be validating it...so I'll just trust it." ------ mark_l_watson Fantastic news - gets us closer to most Internet traffic being encrypted. I have seen complaints that meta data is not hidden, that is, there is a record with who you communicate with. I might have an unpopular opinion here, but I don't think that having the meta data unhidden is in general such a bad thing. I am happy having my communications secure but having who I communicate with potentially public knowledge. Fair compromise. For whistleblowers, protecting metadata is important, so use something else. ------ daveloyall Garden path questions: What's the easiest way to get a copy of your own WhatsApp private key from your phone? What's the easiest way to get a copy of your friend's WhatsApp private key from their phone? What if the phone is rooted, or you can root it? What if they won't hand you the phone? What if they are on your specially built wifi? What if you have a fake cell tower? What if you have a real cell tower? What if you have a different makes/models of phone? for fun: s/phone/debian laptop/g ------ nxzero Get the sense that EFF didn't even talk to any of the parties involved before posting their review, and to me, given how much weight they carry in the community, it's unclear why they didn't. ------ darkhorn Why some people got "you are end to end encrypted with your friend" while their same friend got "the connection is not end to end encrypted with your friend"? ~~~ mrSugar Because one end in this "end-to-end" is you, and the other is Facebook's government-facing data storage. ------ jsprogrammer Is there a way to build and deploy whatsapp from source? ------ sickbeard What? How can you give it 6/7 stars if you don't even know what holes are in the code? ~~~ evgen Perhaps by knowing that the distributed binaries will be disassembled and inspected? The same way it would have to be examined even if there was a GitHub repo out there claiming to be the code used? ~~~ osweiller You've made this claim multiple times now. Do you really honestly believe that disassembled binary code sees the same scrutiny or gained confidence that open source code does? Have you ever analyzed disassembled code? It is non-trivial. No one is going to disassemble this and say "Yup, it passes". That doesn't happen. ~~~ evgen As a matter of fact I am certain they will be dissassembled and examined. For the bounty, for the PR and noteriety if you can find a bug or be the one to star in the "<big company> screwed up or lied to us" story of the week. In general, for lots of reasons that seem to motivate a select crowd who have the skills to actually pull this off. If you have the source code it makes the disassembly and examination of whatis distributed a lot easier, but it is not a necessary pre-requisite. ------ sschueller I hope I can get my friends to switch to actor IM [1] or some other open source solution that doesn't suck. In the end all these chat systems turn into crap full of ads even if they aren't spying on you. [1] [https://actor.im/](https://actor.im/) ~~~ edhelas Seems centralized and doesn't rely on a standard. If I were you, I would forget this solution as well. ~~~ nickik You can set up your own server. They want to devlop a federated protocol. So they are the only ones that actually have stated a goal to devlop something like that. OWS would probebly do it as well if they had the time and money.

They also have some support for using their web and desktop clients with email. I wish the Actor guys the best of luck. ~~~ edhelas "They want to develop a federated protocol". There is already one, it's a IETF standard, deployed accross the globe and have already hundreds of clients and several serious servers : XMPP. ~~~ nickik I just restated what they said, if you are so convinced that XMPP would solve all their problems, then I suggest you go to them.

Quantum Algorithm Implementations for Beginners - lainon https://arxiv.org/abs/1804.03719 ====== hannob The way this starts seems to tell a story that I feel is quite disconnected from reality: > As quantum computers have become available to the general public, the need > has arisen to train a cohort of quantum programmers It seems to peddle the idea that in a few years we'll replace all normal computers with quantum computers. I don't think this is even remotely plausible. It's still an open question whether quantum computers that do anything useful at all are feasible. But even if they are - we can safely assume that for a long time they will be expensive devices, running in complex physical experiments, that will be reserved for very special needs. From all we know QCs aren't magically faster computers that are suitable to do everything better. There are just a few very special algorithms where QCs have an advantage. That's certainly interesting, but even if it would be possible - and that's a big if - it's unlikely anyone will add them to our smartphones anytime soon, simply because there's no need for that. If quantum computers arrive we'll need a handful of specialized programmers that are familiar with their algorithms. But not masses of them. ~~~ blauditore I think the relevance of potential quantum computer programming can be compared to that of GPU programming: It's useful to solve particular problems with much more power than with classic approaches, but for most applications there's no gain. So most software will probably continue to run on classic computers as today. ~~~ hannob I think use of QCs will be orders of magnitude lower than use of GPUs. ~~~ giomasce I suppose people thought the same of classical computers when the ordinary way to carry out computations was to deliver them to arrays of people sitting at desks. Now, history is not forced to repeat itself, but it has happened frequently enough so that it might be premature to exclude that QC will at some point be generally available and used. I agree that having a lot of programmers is not an immediate need, though. ------ vtomole This paper is a good example of how much progress we've had in quantum algorithm research since the dawn Quantum information science. Here is another good survey for people who want to learn more about quantum algorithms [0]. From the abstract, it seems like a resource I wish I had when I was starting to get into quantum computation. [0]: [https://math.nist.gov/quantum/zoo/](https://math.nist.gov/quantum/zoo/) ------ giomasce I like the idea, but I must admit that (with my background of a mathematics researcher, but almost completely ignorant of quantum physics and quantum physicists' notations) it is rather difficult to understand. In particular the bra-ket notation (which to me is already difficult due to its breaking the obvious way to match parentheses, but this might just require some time) seems to be used inconsistently across the paper (I believe that different authors wrote about the different algorithms, and the variations are rather evident and unhelpful). There are some formulas of which I cannot make any sense (last example I found: in the definition of QFT inside Shor's algorithm, the k inside the ket ranges from 0 to N-1, while according to the introduction it should range on all the combinations of a certain number of qubits). Also, some authors seem to take for granted some concepts (such as the properties of the quantum gates) that are not explained anywhere and not obvious to me. Still, an interesting read. ~~~ mathgenius I'm not sure if this is open to the public yet, but if you really are interested you could post your questions here: [https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/](https://quantumcomputing.stackexchange.com/) ------ neuxenian I've started reading some quantum computing texts, and dabbled a bit with IBM's quantum computing experience, and this is where I get stuck: I can follow the basics at the level of "gates" or circuits -- a lot of what's out there is essentially quantum assembly language or something of that sort. But what about interfacing classical and quantum computing? Is the idea that you just run something from start to finish on a quantum computer? Or that you take the output from a classical system and input into a quantum system? Some of the things I'd be most interested in with a quantum computer seem to require an interface with a classical computer, or at least raise the issue, which generally isn't addressed by these sorts of pieces. It's sort of assumed that you're programming whatever it is you're interested in at the level of machine/assembly code. ~~~ wzeng This is a great question! I've worked a lot on this topic and its crucial to understanding how quantum computers will be used in the near term. While I don't have an easy answer for the high level interface, the assembly level interface between quantum and classical computing is also important. If you're interested in that then you should check out this paper where we describe Quil, an instruction set architecture for hybrid quantum/classical computing based on shared memory: [https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03355](https://arxiv.org/abs/1608.03355) This instruction set is the basis for Rigetti Computing's Forest quantum programming environment: [https://www.rigetti.com/forest](https://www.rigetti.com/forest) ~~~ neuxenian Thanks for these links--these are interesting and probably come closest to addressing my questions of anything I've seen so far. ------ mcguire Page 9-10: " _Fig. 2 shows the circuit that was designed to fit the ibmqx4 quantum computer. The circuit consists of state preparation (first two time slots), a Toffoli gate (the next 13 time slots), followed by the 2 \| ψ 〉〈 ψ \|− I operator (7 time slots), and measurement (the final 2 time slots). We use q [0] (in the register notation from Fig. 2) as the ancillary bit, q , and q [1] and q [2] as x 1 and x 2 . Note that the quantum computer imposes constraints on the possible source and target of CNOT gates. Some care must be taken to choose the appropriate qubits to represent each variable so that the necessary CNOT gates can be implemented. It is possible to circumvent some of the limitations in the source and target of the CNOT gates (i.e., the source and target can be reversed), but this requires increasing the depth of the circuit. Our initial implementation utilized a Toffoli gate that used such an approach, but the circuit was significantly deeper and the results were inferior to the results with the circuit in Fig. 2._ " _Using the simulator, this circuit produces the correct answer x = (1 , 1) every time. We executed 1,024 shots using the ibmqx4 and x = (1 , 1) was obtained 662 times with (0 , 0) , (0 , 1) , and (1 , 0) occurring 119, 101, and 142 times respectively. This indicates that the probability of obtaining the correct answer is approximately 65%. The deviation between the simulator and the quantum computer is apparently due to the depth of the circuit combined with the approximate nature of the quantum computer. We note that our first implementation of this algorithm which used a Toffoli gate with a depth of 23 (compared to a depth of 13 here) obtained the correct answer 48% of the time._ " " _We designed a circuit that implements an instance of Grover’s algorithm for an IBM 5-qubit quantum computer. The outcome was successful in the sense that the quantum computer successfully completed the search with a probability that is appreciably greater than 50%. However, the 65% success rate that was obtained is much lower than the 100% that is obtained by the simulator. Deeper and more complex oracles would likely produce less satisfactory results, and this is in line with our experience implementing the oracle with a deeper implementation of the Toffoli gate._ " I'm still not sure how measurement of quantum computing results works, and this isn't helping. ------ mlevental this isn't related to the paper's content but why in the world are there so many authors? i mean if it were an experimental paper i wouldn't be surprised but this is theory (or at the least exposition). ~~~ osti It’s a survey paper on many different algorithms so they could have each written parts of it.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

More young men dropping out of job market to spend time in an alternate reality - zerogvt https://www.1843magazine.com/features/escape-to-another-world ====== Sileni Is anyone really surprised? "We're not going to pay you enough to ever actually own anything, so you'll have to rent most things for the rest of your life, and you're still going to be living paycheck to paycheck." "Gee, maybe I'll find something else to do than maintain the institutions you rigged against me because you didn't want to invest in your own retirement." ~~~ throwaway77384 Couldn't agree more. I have been an avid gamer all my life. In the recent decade it's taken a hit, as life (work, moving in with the gf, etc.) got in the way. Ultimately, though, I come back to gaming. I play fewer games, as their quality overall has been affected by capitalism's relentless pursuit to ruin everything in the name of profits, but there are still plenty of good titles left. I have come to the realisation that nothing else in life gives me the kind of happiness and peace of mind as gaming does. It's about as good as the most effective drugs I've known and that's saying quite something (certainly healthier too). When I play games, I have something to focus on, while simultaneously rewarding the part of my brain involved in learning and accomplishment. It's a killer mixture I've fostered since I was a toddler pretty much, so it hooks into something very primal, deep down. The funny thing is, that gaming has gone from the thing reject-nerds used to do, to a thing that's broadly socially accepted. So nowadays I can finally just happily admit that I enjoy games. What I do not admit is, that almost anything I do in life is so I can play more games and ultimately, I don't mind, because that's where I have found more happiness than anywhere else. The only thing that comes remotely close is the stability I get from a healthy family life living with my girlfriend, who loves gaming just as much. Going to work, the forced socialising required to hold down the job, etc. is all just a means to do more gaming. If I could disappear into a virtual world full-time, I would. ~~~ zerogvt I don't understand (and always disapprove anyway) the downvoting. Fella above is contributing an honest point of view that actually adds a lot to the understanding of the situation. If anything s/he should be upvoted. ------ jungler Games offer a degree of empowerment and security to anyone feeling downtrodden: it's no surprise that they come entangled with other life issues. To deal with anything in the real world, you have to summon the energy to get up and do tasks, make calls, send emails and hold meetings, and worst of all, spend your limited money on something. If you're already depressed, even mildly so, you will have trouble reaching the "activation threshold" needed to do any task. With an investment in a game, you pay for the game and the equipment once, and can then have a multitude of experiences with no financial consequence. Negative elements have been guardrailed and smoothed out for you into minor irritants, allowing you to get through a day without experiencing stress, panic or anxiety even if your mind and mood are at a low level of resilience. What games often don't do is guide their players back into views and habits that aid in overall life satisfaction. Most forms of human development involve struggling with more and more things - but in a liberated sense, where you are taking it on because you want to grow and challenge yourself. The escapist fantasy can't do that - which doesn't mean they shouldn't exist, but society is conflicted with how they should be used. ------ AIX2ESXI yeah, the majority of my male friends are addicted to gaming and living in an alternate reality; it is something I have struggled with as well. Though I have always held a job and currently am enrolled in college in pursuit of my B.S. Comp sci degree, I would rather relax at home and game on my PS4/PC than go out to bars or clubs. Every year I spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on new games, hardware, monitors and whatever comforts that enhance that experience. Many of us don't see the point in chasing marriage, higher education, careers, relationships or being a homeowner. The dating game in most cities is abysmal, and the majority of attractive single ladies are high end escorts, sugar babies and or gold diggers. There are many factors in society that has led to that. Sure I can spend a thousand or two on a nice watch, but for what? I can get a high NUC PC and huge monitor for that price. The same applies to a luxury car, sure I can afford it, but I would rather walk, take the train/bus or uber, so that I space out and listen to podcasts, youtube or game while commuting. Phillip Zimbardo wrote a recent book on the afflictions that young men are facing today. It seems dauntless. Sometimes, I too ask myself if the chase is worth it. My gut feeling is that it's not. ~~~ watwut It is kind of interesting that you see two alternatives - drinking+clublife or gaming and not much else. ~~~ minkzilla I hear a baffling amount of this sentiment these days, and its not just gaming, though gaming is probably the most common. Do people see the only alternative to leaving their home as drinking at clubs / bars? or is it just an excuse and people don't really mean it ? I hear it enough that I don't really think it is. Do people not know there are a plethora of social activities that don't involve drinking? ~~~ watwut Maybe it is that when are isolated long enough, you cease to know what people normally do (not having occasion to observe it) and pop-entertainment reality takes over in your mind. Isolation does that. And majority of population was never heavy clubbers or keg drinkers. That was always only minority of people despite being shown in movies as norm. ------ gurpreet- I was addicted to gaming in my teens, often staying up late nights till 4am. I'm 100% sure if I'd have stayed playing games I would have destroyed my career. I understand the allure of games. I understand the buzz of fading into a world where you can be anyone or anything. I came to the realisation one night that I was wasting my life away. That gaming was an escape from reality. I stopped gaming completely because I felt like I was missing out on what the world had to offer. After I stopped gaming a lot of things changed for the better. I became happier, healthier and made more friends in real life than I had ever before. Gaming addiction should be spoken about more. ------ GaryNumanVevo Games have a really well defined goal-reward structure. "Do this X times and get Y". If you get a job, your path to success is nebulous. Learning new things is hard, getting outside your comfort zone is hard. Combined with slight depression, it's really easy to see video games dominating all aspects of someone's life. ~~~ mrgreenfur Agreed. They are very comfortable and it's super easy to feel good about existing in the confined parameters. OPs attitude sounds a lot like "we've stopped trying and decided to let the games win". Rallying against the 'opposite' (opposite sex, or perceived successful men, 'jocks') seems like a defense mechanism that the group reinforces so that they don't have to face their own circumstance / fears. I've fallen into it a bit in the past and it's easy to get bitter and isolated. I think the only way out is to turn off the games and try something different. ------ m0llusk All this focus on gaming could be backwards. The young guy I know who games all day instead of working is always sending out resumes. None of his jobs lasts very long but he does well while they last. This labor market has failed young people and not everyone is going to respond by founding concerns of their own. Its not the games, its the economy. ------ herogreen [2017] [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13890782](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13890782) Still very interesting though.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

Unfair comparisons - bhauer http://tiamat.tsotech.com/unfair-comparisons ====== sker Benchmark Nazis will always complain about _any_ benchmark, no matter what. Don't let them dissuade you from continuing work on this amazing project. Personally, this project has prompted me to change my career path from C# to something else, due to the abysmal performance of ASP.NET. I'm still waiting to see more tests, especially the asp-stripped one, and hopefully some OWIN/Katana in the near future. But for now, I'm seriously considering JS/Node.js or Scala/JVM as my main development platform. So thanks. Is there any date for the next round? ~~~ MalcolmEvershed I worked on improving the aspnet (on Windows) results and I committed aspnet- stripped (based on @pdonald's aspnet tests) and HttpListener. As that committer, I have to ask: Why would you change your career path due to supposed 'abysmal performance' reported on a website? Keep in mind that the 'abysmal performance' of many of the frameworks can still handle millions of requests per day. Plus, many of the 'slower' frameworks have other development benefits like ease of development, community ecosystem, static type checking, etc. The reason I replied is because I'm considering jumping from aspnet to a 'slower' framework like django and I'm not basing my decisions solely on the results of this collaborative benchmark where I don't even know if experts have tuned the results, and where I don't know _why_ the results are 'poor'. ~~~ pekk You can actually know that experts often haven't tuned the results because many PRs are being ignored ever since the beginning of this project. There is a pretty clear agenda. ~~~ bhauer Say what? Which of these [1] is old and being ignored? [1] [https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pulls](https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/pulls) ------ mdasen The area that I would be the most critical of the benchmarks is that it's unclear whether frameworks that use process based concurrency are being set up well. With frameworks that use process based concurrency, generally one wants to run as many processes as can fit in RAM with a nice amount of headroom. That way, when one app process is waiting on I/O, another will be handling another request (and the operating system handles the context switching). Right now, the setup.py for Django specifies that it will create 3 * NCPU worker processes. On the i7, that would probably be 24 processes and possibly using an eighth of the RAM in the box. Similarly, for Rails, the Unicorn configuration specifies 8 worker processes (one process per GB of RAM) regardless of whether it's on EC2 or the i7 (while Django goes from 6 to 24 processes depending on the box it's on since it's 3 * NCPU). For all we know, the CPU usage might be around 25% and the RAM usage even less. As such, it's hard to determine if the speed achieved is because of the limitations in the framework or whether the box is simply being under-utilized due to sub-optimal configuration. If you're going to do another around, more than any other changes, I think a view of the CPU and RAM usage would really help - if for no other reason than to show that the test is accurate. Right now, I have questions about whether the process concurrency frameworks are well set-up. Why would Django benefit from getting 4x the number of worker processes on the i7, but not Rails? Is 24 processes utilizing the i7 box with Django? CPU and RAM numbers would help provide answers. ~~~ bhauer To the degree feasible given the breadth of submissions we've received, we have worked to ensure that frameworks that use process-level concurrency are configured to in fact use multiple processes. See question #5 from our questions section [1]. That said, across the board, inclusive of both process-concurrent and thread- concurrent frameworks, we never rule out the possibility of a configuration glitch. We've asked that any subject-matter experts for any framework perceived as underperforming review the code and configuration. To date, we've received a great deal of pull requests to deal with many such matters. On the other hand, very few such tweaks have had a significant impact on performance data. We do intend to capture CPU, network, and IO utilization in the future. For the time being, we invite fans/SMEs to review the code, run the tests on their own multi-core machine and/or EC2 instances and determine if there is room for improvement. [1] [http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=motivation](http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=motivation) ------ frik Thanks for compiling the Web Framework Benchmarks! [http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r6](http://www.techempower.com/benchmarks/#section=data-r6) I discovered some interesting and speedy platforms like OpenResty. And PHP performance for multiple queries isn't too bad either - top five. For round #7, I suggest an addition of the HipHop-PHP (hhvm) Facebook's speedy open source PHP implementation. [https://github.com/facebook/hiphop- php/wiki](https://github.com/facebook/hiphop-php/wiki) ~~~ tmister AFAIK hhvm doesn't have namespace support yet. So Symfony2, laravel, ZF2 can not be run in it. But basic PHP performance would skyrocket I assume. ~~~ frik HHVM is moving fast - Namespace support arrived. I heard reflection compatibility with PHP.net needs some work. They are fixing bugs that prevent top PHP project from working. ------ morgo I think it would be interesting if respective technology vendors could be motivated to tune the configuration, and be bound by some rules. eWeek did a DB shootout like this 10 years ago, and (as the rumor goes) led to the creation of the MySQL query cache to specifically beat the benchmark. Getting the various vendors involved would require a lot of clout though :( Here is some commentary on the MySQL configuration: [https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/mast...](https://github.com/TechEmpower/FrameworkBenchmarks/blob/master/config/my.cnf) * innodb_log_flush_at_trx_commit is not specified, so it's going to default to 1 (durable). This is a little unfair, since other databases won't do this. * innodb_buffer_pool_size isn't specified, so it's going to default to 128M. A database that uses mmap files will have an atvantage here - since it can automatically use free memory and won't require this level of tuning. * I thought it was fair to disable query cache though :) ~~~ bhauer Actually, mostly in an informal matter, we have in fact received many test implementations from maintainers of frameworks directly. If you go through the pull requests, you may recognize some folks. I don't want to name drop though. I had in passing asked a few if they would be willing to apply an "official" indicator next to their rows. But the response had been uniformly "not interested." Maybe later I'll ask again. :) Thanks for the notes on the MySQL configuration. There are a lot of gray areas in setting up the configuration, but we do seek recommendations such as these. Aside from concessions we've made to the matter of running a benchmark, the overriding goal for configuration is that "production-class" configuration is preferred. I'm not an expert at InnoDB tuning, so you might tell me that "innodb_log_flush_at_trx_commit = 1" is not typical for production environments, in which case I'd want to make a change. But if it _is_ typical for production, I'd like to keep it as-is. If the point is that other databases do not have something comparable, that speaks to the point of the linked blog entry. These things are not directly comparable, feature-by-feature. We would like Postgres and MongoDB to be deployed in a typical "production-class" configuration, but that may or may not be feature-identical with MySQL. ~~~ rsynnott In many production environments where a few lost writes in the event of OS crash aren't entirely the end of the world, innodb_log_flush_at_trx_commit is set to 2. In some it will even be set to 0 (in that instance, data is lost in the event of MySQL crash). If you care deeply about every write definitely hitting disk in a recoverable manner, you set it to 1, but at that point you may have to do other stuff (is the OS lying to you? Is your RAID controller lying to you? Is your disk lying to you?) > If the point is that other databases do not have something comparable, that > speaks to the point of the linked blog entry. Other databases do have something comparable. It looks like MongoDB actually doesn't, but that's highly unusual. Postgres does (I believe it's on by default), Riak does, Voldemort does (one could make an argument that it's safer to leave it off in the latter two cases than elsewhere). ~~~ bhauer If I am parsing you right, it sounds like "innodb_log_flush_at_trx_commit = 2" is what you would recommend for a majority of production environments. ~~~ morgo Durability will typically be very expensive to implement unless you have a fast SSD or RAID controller with NVRAM, so it will skew the test considerably if you make MySQL offer it, but say MongoDB does not have to. But I do recommend it for the majority of people. Shameless plug: [http://www.tocker.ca/2013/06/19/deciding-whether-or-not- to-m...](http://www.tocker.ca/2013/06/19/deciding-whether-or-not-to-make- mysql-durable.html) Also: [http://dom.as/2013/08/09/on-durability/](http://dom.as/2013/08/09/on- durability/) (Domas works on MySQL@Facebook). ~~~ rsynnott Incidentally, on the EBS durability thing, it's addressed here: [https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27590](https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=27590) \- An fsync isn't a guarantee, or wasn't in 2013, but they estimate the risk of loss after fsync to be very low. Can't find anything on whether their newer SSD-providing instances guarantee durability, though. ~~~ morgo That's really cool. Thanks! ------ janerik A moving background makes it easy to read! Thumbs up! ~~~ bhauer Indeed! Glad you like it. Jokes aside, if you hate it, you can turn it off at the bottom right. Maybe some day I'll disable it by default. But for now, I kind of enjoy these responses. Edit: very well, it's disabled by default. :) ~~~ Mister_Snuggles It does a fantastic job of pegging one CPU! ~~~ bhauer Yeah, I've noticed that Chrome is especially bad since it still does very little to GPU-accelerate SVG. Frankly, one reason I had left it enabled for so long was to make a point about Chrome's bad GPU+SVG support. Why should it be necessary to use the CPU to move a semi-circle? But in any case, I'd rather not distract from the points I'm trying to make in the blog entry, so the background is now off by default. ~~~ rsynnott Where does it actually run well? It doesn't peg a core on Safari, but scrolling still feels laggy and unpleasant. I initially assumed you'd implemented your own inertial scrolling, as with old Google mobile sites. ~~~ bhauer It runs well on all my PCs, which admittedly are all Windows. It's just an SVG+SMIL animation. My opinion is that in 2013, it should run entirely on the GPU. But I acknowledge that's not the case as much as I think it should be. On my box, it uses ~2.1% CPU and ~16% GPU in Aurora. ~~~ rsynnott Ah, yep; it actually works quite acceptably in Firefox. Very unpleasant in Chrome and Safari, though. ------ qwerta Because benchmarks are usually just useless. It is like what has better acceleration on free fall?

Blackberry captures 10.6% of US cell phone market - martythemaniak http://www.rcrnews.com/article/20080811/WIRELESS/799815845/-1/rss01 ====== martythemaniak I thought this was notable for several reasons. -This figure is for the entire cell phone market, not just the smartphone market. -There has been a lot of hype around the iPhone around the blogosphere (HN being no exception), yet the real-world figures are more telling. Despite what many may think, the iPhone isn't and won't be a BB killer (and vice versa). \- The Blackberry is probably getting ignored by the HN/startup in favour of iPhone apps. If you're doing something with mobile development, you probably shouldn't ignore a platform with a bigger market share and a far more capable API. ~~~ tstegart A bigger market share and more capable API doesn't matter if you don't have the capital to make a business out of it. Sure, you can build a Blackberry app, but how would you sell it and get it in front of people without a lot of money spent on marketing and promotion? Blackberry apps don't usually make the front page of TechCrunch. The capital requirements for making an iPhone app are lower. $99 to be exact, at the lowest. And you get your app in front of millions of people while not having to worry about building out a website, getting users to that website, and accepting credit cards. If you're a established mobile company, sure, ignoring the Blackberry would be a bad move. But if you're a small shop or a programmer working in your spare time, the advantages of the iPhone platform are hard to ignore. I'm not saying there isn't too much hype, but I think a lot of the hype is because developers sitting at home are saying to themselves "I can do that" when it comes to iPhone apps, but not when it comes to Blackberry apps. ~~~ stcredzero Just how hard would it be for BlackBerry to duplicate the important parts of the AppStore? How about do that and lose the the obnoxious part, like setting up a standardized framework that's easy for developers to opt-in to, and not required? ~~~ iigs The real coup with the the iPhone is Apple's handling of the user's experience in the iPhone App store. BB certainly has the least retarded relationship with US carriers (especially now that they're so big), but their old-world mindset of small crappy web portals reflects more on their history with the carriers and their tendency to "eat their seed corn" and over-monetize channels (pay to get your app listed and pay to download it? no thanks) Otherwise BB has the iPhone beat for indie developers -- the SDK is free to download and use, and you can transfer apps straight from your website to a telephone. BB doesn't force themselves into the center of your transactions, which means as a developer you're free to do things like charge per month or per message, or distribute your app for free and allow people to buy it inside the application itself.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

Good-Bye Paper - Say Hello to Paperless Employment References - getreference http://www.getreference.co ====== getreference Get Reference solves the problem around seeking employment references for employers, by letting them obtain and manage paperless references. It also allows applicants to pro-actively seek and store employment references using our simple and easy-to-use platform. ~~~ therobot24 Is this really a _problem_ though? I mean this is clearly a _solution_ , but references are really just a few names and numbers an employer might call to do a quick background check. There isn't really a need to save/manage/revisit them after the hiring process is over. ~~~ getreference There are two aspects to it; Employer can use this single platform to request referee details from new recruits and send the reference form at the click of a button. The references can be deleted, no need to waste time chasing up past employers, sending emails back and forth. Applicants, can proactively seek and store professional and social references, if employers request references they can share the stored references with employers saving time. ~~~ therobot24 You're still giving me solutions. I need you to spell out the problem. When i'm applying for a job, what problems do i encounter with my references that you are solving? When i'm hiring what problems do i encounter when i receive an applicant's references that you are solving? This is what i'm failing to understand. ~~~ getreference The problem is waste of time, energy and resources for both applicants and employers. I am a recruiter myself and been working in HR for the past 10+ years and obtaining a reference is not as simple as you make it sound, which is a phone call away. There are many instances when ex employer quits a job, relocates, doesn't respond to phone calls, hence the new employer and applicant both waste time chasing someone who is not available to provide a reference. Saving paperbased references is a very old method of safe keeping references, noone these days carries a file of credentials when they go for interviews, hence, storing paperless references saves them the trouble and they can forward them to any potential employer. Similar for the employer its a simple system, no need to engage in multiple email exchanges or phone calls, simply use one simple platform, once the reference is done, save a pdf, or delete it.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

I was horrified because I had a lead on that too… and there – it's all in textbooks. That situation allowed no relaxed wackiness in my thinking about it anymore, I had to formulate my thoughts. ‘I need more math’, I thought. When I finally digged out of that rabbit hole I found myself learned in dynamical systems, ergodic theory, harmonic analysis, spectral theory, operator algebras, homology, algebraic topology, and constructive renormalization, and in numerical methods, symbolic dynamics, symbolic algebra, Grobner bases and group cohomology and applied algebraic geometry, and then Hopf algebra of Connes–Kreimer computable renormalization and, uh, followed Connes the way up to motivic integration… (ok. ok. I'm done enumerating now) at which point I lost all interest in physics and turned mathematician. All that not to mention intersection of algebra and topology of statistical mechanics with coding theory and infromation theory which led me to machine learning (which is just statistics btw).

Hachikō - shibafreenu https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachikō ====== supernova87a Isn't it interesting how, when a dog shows such extreme and unquestioning loyalty, we find it so adorable and endearing. When a person shows such loyalty, it can almost be off-putting! Is it that people have so many hidden motivations you become suspicious, or worry about generating / reciprocating feelings of obligation, or end up disappointing you after causing you to invest emotion? Or just that a "simple" animal can exhibit such complex behavior that we find especially endearing? ~~~ freeflight _> When a person shows such loyalty, it can almost be off-putting!_ I don't think it's really as universal as that and depends a lot on the cultural norms and the specific manifestation of loyalty. A good example would be the common misconception of the Samurai ethos in Western circles. Many people cite the Hagakure [0] and Bushido [1] like they are some kinds of manuals for a bad-ass Samurai making their own way through strong principles, perfectly fitting the pop-culture depictions. When in reality, these books describe the Samurai as the most loyal retainer to his daimyo, who holds up his strict principles not out of vain/self- glorification, but because that was considered the best way to serve his master, which was considered the most important thing to them. It's an ethos about loyalty to the point of self-sacrifice for the master's honor, which doesn't hold up very well in our modern hyper-individualistic times. [0] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagakure](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagakure) [1] [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido:_The_Soul_of_Japan](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bushido:_The_Soul_of_Japan) ~~~ the_af It's important to note that the Hagakure and Bushido were late additions to Samurai culture -- the Hagakure in particular is a nostalgic idealization of a way of living that was almost lost by the time it was written -- and in many ways are idealizations that were seldom followed by the actual warrior class. A bit like samurai fan-fiction! Western circles often mistakenly believe the Hagakure truly embodies the Samurai spirit, when in practice most Samurai didn't follow it and weren't as selfless or honor-bound as the code would have you believe. ~~~ Psyladine Yes, written by a wanna-be reflecting nostalgically on the past the way a romanticist today twirls a fedora for a time when 'men were men'. ------ brenden2 There's a film adaptation of this (true) story, called Hachi[1]. Worth a watch if you like dogs. I think they actually used a Shiba for most of the puppy scenes, and the adult dog was an Akita. I've got a 2 y/o Shiba Inu, and she's pretty amazing. I've had several dogs in the past, but a Shiba is nothing like other breeds. She's incredibly smart and has more personality than I've ever known a dog to have.

So, I don't understand why people typically meet there other than tradition ~~~ dvcrn It's not a tradition. People meet there because it's a spot everyone knows, right outside the station, with a ton of signs telling you where it is. If not Hachiko people usually say "let's meet at the green train" which is another thing right next to the Hachiko statue and has no history about loyalty attached to it whatsoever. ------ netsharc I've seen his statue outside Shibuya station, and also knew about the story, but seeing the black and white pictures on that page hits me how Hachiko wasn't waiting in a neon-lit super-busy corner of Tokyo, surrounded by glass and concrete skyscrapers, it was a whole different world back then. ------ blahbhthrow3748 We have a pet Japanese Akita and he's extremely loyal and good at remembering people. He freaks out when he sees his favourite people, even after years apart. ~~~ finestkludge Dogs' ability to cling to long term memories like this is always amazing to me. ------ smallnamespace Probably inspired the ending to a classic, sappy Futurama episode: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Bark](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jurassic_Bark) ~~~ fourier_mode [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D#In_popular_cultur...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D#In_popular_culture) ------ milankragujevic Interesting coincidence, just yesterday I saw a video on Serbian TV about a similar case of a dog waiting for his owner, who had gone on a bus (as was the routine) and died.

“Women invented computer science. WWhy are they behind?” - aaditya001 https://www.theatlantic.com/video/index/519426/how-did-tech-become-so-male-dominated/?single_page=true ====== Oxitendwe >Women invented computer science. Please stop pinkwashing history. Women did not invent computer science. Also, the gender gap only needs to be "fixed" if it is true that women have an equal interest and potential in computer science, this has not been proven. The push for more women in positions of power in tech (who will thus displace men, and know to whom/what political faction they attribute their success) is a power grab by the American left to seize control of a power and influential industry they can use a tool to advance their interests. This is why there no real push for gender equality in female-majority fields, or non-lucrative/influential male-majority fields, e.g. offshore oil rigging or construction. ------ pducks32 I once had someone ask in a class of mine why CS is considered such a male subject when all these women seem so influential (Ada Lovelace, Grace Hopper, and many more) and the teacher responded: I wouldn't be concerned what other people think now, I'd be more concerned with what you can do today. These women did incredible things when no one was paying attention. And I've always thought that was a great point. I have no doubt based on the stats that tech is male dominated but there are a ton of incredible women out there and highlighting there stories is really important.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Ask HN: Review my site, nice-entity.com - shawn_allison http://www.nice-entity.com<p>Longtime reader, first time submitter.<p>I've just launched Nice Entity. Basically, it's a resource for web designers and developers to quickly and easily look up character references.<p>Yes, there are already a lot of sites out there that do this, but they either:<p>A) look awful, B) are poorly organized, C) not as complete as I hope my site is.<p>Any feedback and/or critique would be most welcome.<p>Thanks in advance! ====== ugh I would change the hover color. This will not really be a problem for many users, but with the default OS X selection color – combined with your hover color – entity selections are very hard to see. Since many will want to copy the entities from your site this could be problematic. You could change the hover color to grey or something like that. (This is less a problem with your site and more one with OS X behavior: selection colors shouldn’t be hard to see, no matter the background.) One more thing: It really breaks my heart that this site – of all sites – uses wrong quotation marks. It’s “Find your character!”, not "Find your character!" (Whether or not it is appropriate to use quotation marks for claims like this is certainly also debatable.) ~~~ shawn_allison Thanks very much for bringing this issue of the OS X selection colour to my attention! Based on your feedback I am going to change the table hover colour to be a shade of grey. I also feel mortified that, of all things, I did not wrap the site's tagline in proper quotation marks. This will be remedied! Thanks again for your feedback. ------ mbrubeck It looks great! A search box seems like an obvious useful feature (even though the dataset is small enough to browse through for the most part). Edited to add: Shouldn't " and ' appear somewhere? Yes, real quotation marks should be preferred in typography, but straight quotes are extremely common and sometimes appropriate (e.g. in source code) and it's necessary to escape them inside of HTML/XML attributes. And yes, I know ' has compatibility problems that should be made clear somehow... ~~~ shawn_allison Thanks for your feedback! In regards to the issue of ' I didn't include it based on compatibility issues and this article's opinion <http://fishbowl.pastiche.org/2003/07/01/the_curse_of_apos/> I did totally forget to include " and it will be added in an update later today. A search box may be something I will implement in the future, but for now I do feel the dataset is small enough that people should be able to find what they need quickly enough. The suggestion is noted though. Thanks. ~~~ mbrubeck Why not list apostrophe as ' and include a link to that article? If you omit it, users will just look it up somewhere else and maybe get it wrong. ~~~ shawn_allison I've updated the site and done as you suggested. Thanks for the advise! ------ c_allison Very nice. Points for cleanliness. I'm running Chromium on Win7 RC1 (SRWare Iron specifically) and I'm getting blocks for the quotes in the sub title “Find your character!” Also couldn't ignore your last name, Allisons win :D ~~~ shawn_allison Thanks letting me know!

Astrophotography with Night Sight on Pixel Phones - JayXon https://ai.googleblog.com/2019/11/astrophotography-with-night-sight-on.html ====== emptybits This is amazing. Now just FYI, for those curious, some recent "old guard" innovations by pro camera makers for astrophotography include: 1\. Leveraging the multi-axis image-stabilizing movement available to an in- camera DSLR sensor with GPS for the purpose of tracking the sky during a long- ish exposure to reduce star trails. Ricoh-Pentax Astrotracer. [http://www.ricoh-imaging.co.jp/english/photo-life/astro/](http://www.ricoh- imaging.co.jp/english/photo-life/astro/) 2\. Removing the camera's IR filter, allowing it to capture hydrogen-alpha rays (656nm). This captures energy (image, color) not otherwise seen by normal camera sensors. Canon EOS Ra. [https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/d...](https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/products/details/cameras/eos- dslr-and-mirrorless-cameras/mirrorless/eos-ra) I know this only because I've been researching a DSLR/mirrorless camera upgrade but also delaying it regularly while I'm reminded how excellent phone cameras have become! Unless you're a pro, a pixel-peeper, an artist, or just someone who simply enjoys the machinery and process. ~~~ dr_zoidberg I didn't quite like the article. At the begining it shows a good picture of the Milky Way and it says: > The image has not been retouched or post-processed in any way. Then the whole article describes how they've automated a full astroprocessing pipeline inside the phone, that makes heavy postprocessing... ~~~ bla3 I think what "has not been retouched or post-processed in any way" is supposed to convey is that no work is needed by the user of the camera app to get pictures of this quality. There's lots of in-camera processing of course. That's always been the case for digital cameras: sensors don't produce jpeg files. ~~~ dr_zoidberg That doesn't mean there wasn't heavy post-processing on the image. It simply means the user didn't have to do it. ~~~ BeetleB What people are trying to say is that if this is your definition of post processing then there doesn't exist any digital camera system that produces photos without post processing. Indeed such a camera cannot exist. ~~~ dr_zoidberg I know, I work in digital image processing, and I'm an amateur astrophotographer. Demosaicing is not on the same level as star registration, stacking (posibly HDR processing in the middle), plus some more AI driven "magic" in between. That's what I'm referring to: for the shown image "without post-processing" the phone has performed a lot more actions after demosaicing, that's why i say it was heaviliy processed. ------ saiya-jin As a full frame DSLR shooter (Nikon D750 + 20mm F1.8), this is wild considering those crappy tiny sensors on phones. To get similar (albeit much, much sharper) results, I have to lug around 2kg of camera and lens plus bulky tripod. Even with this, to get those dark dust clouds and stark colors some heavy postprocessing is required (which I mostly don't do because I consider it too much an alteration of original image, but it creates more interesting image). Don't think for a second that those superb images you can see everywhere are not literally over-painted in Photoshop (look at online tutorials on how to do it if you don't believe me). I guess to make things impressive, google guys went to some proper remote desert far from any artificial light. And unless I missed something, they still used some tripod. In european alps, this kind of result is practically impossible - there is always some tiny village in every valley, and even if not light pollution seeps from far. One night panorama I have has quite strong glow coming from village of Chamonix some 15km far, that is on the other side of massive Mont Blanc range [1]. Anything can be achieved if you start playing a lot with Photoshop brushes, layers etc. but for me its one step too far. Imagine what results can be had when such algorithms are paired to a full frame (or bigger) sensor! [1] [https://www.flickr.com/photos/99251154@N04/22790364795/in/al...](https://www.flickr.com/photos/99251154@N04/22790364795/in/album-72157660842726331/) ~~~ lm28469 > To get similar (albeit much, much sharper) results Tbh it's not that hard to get sharper results, this was shot on a 40 years old camera, with a 50+ years old lens using a cheapo carbon fiber tripod ( 25+mph wind that probably rocked my camera quite a bit) [https://i.imgur.com/sdxyyEw.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/sdxyyEw.jpg) > And unless I missed something, they still used some tripod. They did: "Clearly, this cannot work with a handheld camera; the phone would have to be placed on a tripod, a rock, or whatever else might be available to hold the camera steady." ------ rbritton Zoomed out, those photos aren’t terrible, but if you click to view a higher resolution version, you can see the softness created by the noise removal algorithm. Based on my experience, the image quality is comparable to DSLRs of about ten years ago. Noise removal is a bandaid. In astrophotography, it will virtually always look softer than reality actually is, and it will also have removed actual stellar objects. There is no substitute for a better, lower noise sensor, but you work with what you have. Sensor size is inversely correlated with the noise level. Smaller sensors have more noise where the least noise is on full frame (i.e., 35mm) or larger sensors. Phones have small sensors. ~~~ baq that's exactly what is amazing about this tech - 10 years ago you'd have to carry a backpack, now the same quality pictures can be taken with a multi- purpose device which fits in your pocket. nothing to complain about if you ask me! ~~~ konart I still get better photos with my almost 10 year old camera though. UPD: oops, XT-1 is just 5 years old, actually. I guess I have to take my words back, sort of. Still, the point is the same - as long as you make a shot for your Instagram account - your smartphone is alright. For anything bigger you still need a camera with decent lens. ------ bla3 This is super cool tech. But I can't help thinking that this shows that the Pixel camera lead must be someone with an engineering background who got nerd sniped by this problem because it's cool and hard to do. Someone with a product background would've focused on something less niche. On the other hand, some people who like Google like it because it still sometimes works on geeky, cool, fun stuff instead of being super product focused. ~~~ tln My impression is that night sight as a feature has been pretty impactful in the market. As in, people buy them on this feature alone ~~~ bla3 Night sight for normal night photography, absolutely. Taking pictures in low- light situations is common. Astrophotography on the other hand is much less common. ------ JNRowe I can't read about commodity hardware stargazing without my mind drifting to 2bit Astrophotography¹ which used the Gameboy Camera². If you compare a paper star chart from the Gameboy era to Stellarium³ and a Pixel, then it can only lead you to wonder where we will be in another 20 years. 1\.

[http://www.stellarium.org](http://www.stellarium.org) ------ cageface I'd prefer to see Google focus on just making the Pixel line better everyday phones than working on exotic stuff like this or the motion sensor they added in the Pixel 4. Right now there's not much reason to choose a Pixel unless stock Android is your top priority. ~~~ harrygeez Having Chrome on my phone or choice of any alternative web browser is big enough of a reason for me to pick Android. Besides, my experience with Android in the last couple of years has been more solid and consistent than iOS, even if the UI and animations are less polished. ~~~ cageface I agree and I prefer the UX on Android in a lot of respects too. I just don’t think the Pixels have been a good value compared to other Android phones lately. They either need to be cheaper or better than they are now. ------ habosa The photos are gorgeous and I would definitely use this mode. Astrophotography always kind of rubs me the wrong way though because that's not how it looks. Even if you go out to somewhere that's really dark, like a large National Park, and wait for a clear night it's never going to look in your eye like it does on Instagram. Don't get me wrong, what you do see is absolutely magnificent, it's just not what's in those pictures. Seeing the galaxy with your own eyes is one of the most majestic things you'll ever witness. It's something that has inspired spontaneous prayer throughout history. It doesn't really need a filter. ------ jakecopp If all the advancements in smartphone photography is in software, why aren't DSLR/mirrorless manufactures doing it too? I don't want my camera to have a touchscreen/social media/wifi but it'd be cool if Adobe Camera Raw/some alternative could do this stuff! ~~~ ygra IMHO they've basically missed an opportunity here for many years. They'd be in a perfect position to offer those things, combined with a much better/larger sensor, which enables even better images. On smartphones it's a matter of necessity, as the sensor is (fairly) crappy in comparison, but on a DSLR it could still be a benefit. Personally I'd be perfectly happy to get a pre- processed DNG from the camera instead of having to do this afterwards. And then give me the raw files to do it manually as well. Perhaps they're trying not to cannibalize their lower market segments or think that professionals would never use those things (on which they _might_ be correct). But I can definitely see that computational photography beyond raw->JPEG conversion with a color profile could have its place in a DSLR. ~~~ SiempreViernes While it would be nice to load some post-processing script onto the camera and get all that done by the camera without having to bother with it yourself, all that processing _will_ cost battery life, as well as response time. Having to charge your DSLR every day is a huge cost in convenience, and making a _dedicated_ imaging machine unresponsive would be terrible. Additionally, you are always going to move your pictures out of the camera for proper viewing, so it doesn't make a lot of sense to provide the best possible picture already in the camera. I don't know if the software they bundle with the camera is any good at this computational photography though (I've never checked to see if there are linux versions), but it better be if it indeed helps image quality. ~~~ ygra Yeah, it's definitely nice to get ~1000 images per battery charge. But when uploading to the PC infrequently you'll then have to sort photos into groups to process individually (something I already hate with panoramas). Personally it's something I'd rather not do, at the expense of only getting ~200 photos per charge. It's also not necessary to compromise, as those special modes would be, well, special modes. So to preserve battery I could just as well shoot raw as normal. ------ PopePompus The photos taken in this mode are amazing. But I think they are improved a lot if a vignetting correction is applied. Without that correction, the sky brightness is much greater near the center of the field than near the edges. ------ kohtatsu Any recommendations for tripods/cases? iPhone 11 Pro here. ------ imvetri What are the possibilities that this AI camera app is not faking the image. Here is why I ask \- It has gyro - so knows whether we are pointing at sky or not. \- AI checks whether its a clear sky - if yes - post fake image. If no - Dont risk getting caught. \- Time + geo spacing - Gives the angle, position of camera relative to the space above us. ~~~ PopePompus There is no chance this is being faked. I've been playing with the astrophotography mode on a Pixel 4 XL in a remote country location with no cell phone connectivity. A single 4 minute exposure is able to record stars down to about magnitude 9.5. A single exposure can detect the Crab Nebula, or the two brightest satellite galaxies of the Andromeda Galaxy (M 32 and NGC 205). To fake such results without internet connectivity would mean that the camera software would have to have an internal catalog of about 250,000 stars, with accurate colors and coordinates. It would need the size and shape of nebulae, the contours and brightness of the Milky Way, etc. When I add multiple frames, I see fainter stars appear, as they should, so the internal catalog would really need millions of stars, most of which would not show up unless the user carefully aligned multiple individual image and summed them. This is not being faked. ~~~ Jyaif You do realize that with 2 floats to store the position of a star on a sphere, that's like 8 MB per million of star? With compression you can almost certainly get away with something like 2 bytes per stars. And an other solution is to simply store a bitmap of the sphere around earth. ~~~ PopePompus It also shows the positions of the planets correctly, so it would need to have an ephemeris, or planetary orbital elements. Meteors and satellites show trails across the star field. At some point simulating all of this would be more complicated than really doing it. ------ ganitarashid As long as you manually control the exposure and exposure time, the same can be achieved with an iPhone camera. This is not specific to Pixel. ~~~ oceanofsolaris They mention a couple of features that are not just "long exposure" in the post: * Compensating for moving stars * "Live viewfinder" during exposure * Selectively darkening the sky * Dark current compensation (though that is probably needed for all long-exposure photography...still, not a simple "more exposure" feature) ~~~ ganitarashid All easy software implementations. This is not a hardware story. ~~~ jeen02 If they're so easy, why haven't Apple implemented them? ~~~ piyush_soni Or at least someone would have come up with an app already, had it been that easy.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
ES6 in Depth – Symbols - jansc https://hacks.mozilla.org/2015/06/es6-in-depth-symbols/ ====== nni It is my understanding that symbols were going to be a way to have private methods. This aspect of them - the reason they were going to be introduced in the first place - was dropped, and so you are left with its current limited form with a much narrower use-case. From A Rossberg (he's also the guy behind SoundScript) in a March 2014 stackoverflow post ([http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21724326/why-bring- symbol...](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/21724326/why-bring-symbols-to- javascript/22280202#22280202)): "Enabling private properties ... was indeed the original motivation for introducing symbols into JavaScript. Unfortunately, however, they ended up being severely downgraded, and not private after all. They are now known as unique symbols, and their only use is to avoid name clashes between properties....Whether that is strong enough a motivation to add symbols to the language is debatable." and from R. Waldron as part of this response ([https://esdiscuss.org/topic/proposal-about-private- symbol](https://esdiscuss.org/topic/proposal-about-private-symbol)) to a proposal about a private symbol (Dec 2014) "Ultimately it was decided that Symbol is just a symbol and that "private" things will be dealt with orthogonally (and at a later date)." YMMV ~~~ braythwayt You can still use them to make almost-completely-private methods and properties, it's just the syntactic sugar that was dropped: [http://raganwald.com/2015/06/04/classes-are- expressions.html](http://raganwald.com/2015/06/04/classes-are- expressions.html) HN discussion: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9660658](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9660658) ------ lispm > Calling Symbol() creates a new symbol, a value that’s not equal to any other > value. Lisp: CL-USER 1 > (eq (make-symbol "Foo") (make-symbol "Foo")) NIL > Symbols aren’t exactly like anything else CL-USER 2 > (type-of (make-symbol "Foo")) SYMBOL > Trying to concatenate a symbol with strings will result in a TypeError.

Symbols can be interned in a package or not. So-called Keyword symbols are in the package KEYWORD and have itself as the value. :I-AM-A-KEYWORD evaluates to :I-AM-A-KEYWORD. ~~~ drudru11 That first example with 'eq is a little surprising to me. Previous to your post, I believed that Common Lisp symbols were equivalent to Lisp atoms. That is, I just thought of symbols as a way of interning strings (like Smalltalk, Objc, Ruby, etc.) ES6 Symbols reminded me of gensym. I didn't expect to see ES6 having the same behaviour as Common Lisp! Thanks for posting. ------ unwind As a very green JS programmer, I found this post informative and fun. I think this sentence has an editing mistake in it: It’s simply a property whose name is not a symbol rather than a string. I think that the "not" shouldn't be there, the double negation makes the sentence fail to parse for me at least (ObCaveat: not a native speaker). ------ yoshuaw I wrote a lil' article about using Symbols a month ago - [https://medium.com/code-ops/party-tricks-with-es6-symbols- ee...](https://medium.com/code-ops/party-tricks-with-es6-symbols-ee328fdb6c4b) Probably the most interesting use I've found for Symbols so far is to detect if an object / function was created by a specific factory - [https://gist.github.com/yoshuawuyts/2bf8d5394e6f995791a0](https://gist.github.com/yoshuawuyts/2bf8d5394e6f995791a0) ------ BinaryIdiot Symbols are odd. Maybe it's just me but they feel like they work "funny" in JavaScript. As the article says you can't implicitly convert a symbol's description to string. Symbol is now the only native object in JavaScript that has this behavior. var str = "something" \+ "str"; // Works var num = "something" \+ 5; // Works var func = "something" \+ function () { }; // Works var obj = "something" \+ { some: "test" }; // Works var bool = "something" \+ true; // Works var dt = "something" \+ Date.now(); // Works var und = "something" \+ undefined; // Works var nul = "something" \+ null; // Works var nan = "something" \+ NaN; // Works var sym = "something" \+ Symbol("test"); // Throws TypeError Another thing, which is more of a style thing in my opinion, is you can actually define a property with a Symbol which just seems awkward to me. I mean sure you can use it as a property by design so why wouldn't you be able to use defineProperty? I always felt those should be public types of properties where you can add additional logic where necessary. var obj = { }; Object.defineProperty(obj, Symbol("MyProp"), { get: function () { return 15; } }); I feel like almost the same thing with Symbol could be accomplished with a simple UUID generator. It's a neat little thing it just feels awkward to me with how JavaScript works. ~~~ jkrems The other funny thing is: ES6 introduced `Map`, `Set`, and the `class` keyword. All of them throw if you try to create a new instance without `new`. It also introduced `Symbol`, which throws if you _do_ use `new`. ------ skrebbel I don't understand why the author compares ES6 symbols to Ruby symbols; they're _nothing_ alike. It's kind of the opposite: Ruby symbols are guaranteed to be the same object if they have the same name, ES6 symbols are guaranteed to be a _different_ object, even if they have the same name (description) ~~~ espadrine s1 = Symbol.for('cat') s2 = Symbol.for('cat') s1 === s2 // true The most common use-case for them is to generate symbols that don't collide, though. ~~~ ahoge `Symbol.for` uses a global registry and the whole thing is "stringly typed". Looks like an anti-pattern to me. If you want one particular symbol from some library, you could import it. ~~~ artursapek This was the one thing I didn't understand. Why is using a global Symbol registry any better than just using string properties like usual? ~~~ towelguy s1 = Symbol("cat"); s2 = Symbol.for("cat"); s3 = Symbol.for("cat"); s1 == s2; // false s2 == s3; // true You can still have Symbols outside the registry. ~~~ artursapek That I understand. What I don't understand is why s2 and s3 shouldn't just be vanilla strings. ------ meric Looks like Symbols is a type being introduced because objects, when used as a key in another object, gets turned into a string, unlike Lua tables can be used as keys of other tables, and are guaranteed to not be equal to any other value. Lua tables are built-in symbols. Javascript's objects are not. ~~~ bcoates Yeah, it seems like kind of an odd choice to introduce a whole new type _and_ extend the kind of values that can index an object, when extending object indexing alone would do everything symbols do anyway. ~~~ quarterto It's actually not extending object indexing. From the object's point of view, the symbol is just another (albeit opaque) string. ~~~ bcoates There's still some magic involving the symbol properties being automatically non-enumerable, right? ------ IshKebab I wish javascript had some kind of flag so you could get it to act sanely. All the comparison operators would work like they do in sane languages; type conversion wouldn't be _quite_ so automatic and insane, etc. ~~~ jordanwallwork If you just make sure to always use === then this is exactly what happens. You can use tools like jslint to warn you if you accidentally use == ~~~ mkolosick Not quite though. I had a bug with Javascript where I was reading in a number and forgot to parse it to a float. I ended up doing an addition with that value, which later got used as a float again. So I had 1 + "10" turn to 110 when I tried to use it. No == or === anywhere. ~~~ jordanwallwork I was only really referring to automatic type conversion for comparisons. That said, the example you gave sounds like the opposite, where you wanted it to do some auto-conversion and you're disappointed that it didn't? If I did 1 + "10" I don't think I'd want it to return 11! ~~~ afandian I'd want it to throw some kind of cast exception, personally, not try and do what it thinks I want. (I'm not the GP) ------ nabla9 This is very limited symbol type. They might have named them keywords instead. It's just interned string with a new type. (It's like Common Lisp symbols limited inside the keyword package) ------ welfare I'm not entirely convinced with the function-call syntax for declaring a Symbol. Why not using something more of the lines with Ruby's :symbol syntax? ~~~ carussell Here's the other thing that neither of the other commenters mentioned: You can't go around peppering your code with use of this new syntax if you want it to continue working on older runtimes. With `Symbol`, you can at least create a polyfill that approximates what it's shooting for. > declaring a Symbol Don't think of it as "declaring a symbol" (because it isn't). Think of it as _generating_ a symbol (because it is). ~~~ hajile ES6 already adds a ton of new constructs that won't run on older browsers. Relying on symbols to be interned also won't work on older machines. A symbol- literal syntax like #symbol and #"spaced symbol" would make them far easier to use and increase their adoption. Who really wants to write map.add(new Symbol("foo"), 'bar') instead of map.add(#foo, 'bar')? ~~~ ajuc > Who really wants to write map.add(new Symbol("foo"), 'bar') instead of > map.add(#foo, 'bar')? It makes it clear when you are generating new symbol, and when you are reusing existing symbol. var a = new Symbol("foo"); var b = new Symbol("foo"); map[a]="firstValue"; map[b]="secondValue"; Console.log(map[a] + " " + map[b]); // writes "firstValue secondValue" How does it work with your syntax? map[#foo]="firstValue"; map[#foo]="secondValue"; Console.log(map[#foo]); // what is written here? ------ asdf99 yet another duct tape kind of feature, from people already too corrupted by js, that will be further abused and cause yet more duct tape features in ES7. this is nothing but a more convoluted way of the pattern that sets a unique object as a unique value for comparison. well, it adds a label for easy debug. hooray. ~~~ pmontra Symbols are used all the time in Ruby (and a bunch of other languages), not as duct tape but as a very core feature of the language. Why should it be different in JavaScript? The most simple way to use them is to replace definitions like this one var north = 1; var south = 2; var east = 3; var west = 4; var direction1 = north; var direction2 = south; direction1 === direction2 ? "ops" : "ok"; The programmer is doing the work of the interprer/compiler here and make sure to pick unique values for all the constants that are going to be compared together. With symbols that becomes var north = new Symbol(); var south = new Symbol(); var east = new Symbol(); var west = new Symbol(); var direction1 = north; var direction2 = south; direction1 === direction2 ? "ops" : "ok"; which is an improvement even if it is (in a traditional JavaScript way) so much more verbose than Ruby's direction1 = :north direction2 = :south direction1 === direction2 ? "ops" : "ok" I just wish they'll add some syntactical sugar to do without that "new Symbol()" thing and create symbols as needed like Ruby does. Unfortunately, from [https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Referen...](https://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Symbol) Symbols and JSON.stringify() Symbol-keyed properties will be completely ignored when using JSON.stringify(): JSON.stringify({[Symbol("foo")]: "foo"}); // '{}' We're going to manually serialize them when they leave the RAM. ~~~ ahoge N, E, S, W? I think you want an enum for that. ~~~ pmontra It was an example of replacing constants with symbols when the value of the constant really doesn't matter. Purposely not fancy stuff. I understand the advantages of enums (among the others, their values are constrained) but does JS have enums? ~~~ ahoge > _does JS have enums?_ No, but TypeScript and Dart do. Enums don't really work without types. But using Symbols for fake enums is probably a good idea. class Enum { constructor(...props) { props.forEach(p => this[p] = Symbol(p)); } } const dir = Object.freeze(new Enum(...'NESW')); console.log(dir.E === dir.E); // true console.log(dir.E === dir.N); // false Slightly awkward, but this might be about as good as it gets. ~~~ ahoge I should have used Object.freeze(this) in the c'tor. ------ agd _Call Symbol.for(string). This accesses a set of existing symbols called the symbol registry. Unlike the unique symbols defined by Symbol(), symbols in the symbol registry are shared. If you call Symbol.for( "cat") thirty times, it will return the same symbol each time. The registry is useful when multiple web pages, or multiple modules within the same web page, need to share a symbol._ Have they added inbuilt support for globals here? People could easily add their own global symbols, why does this need to be built in? ~~~ carussell Could you reword the question? I don't understand what you're asking. ~~~ agd I guess I don't understand why the global symbol registry exists. If someone wants a global symbol map, they can create their own. What else does this add over a user implementation, and what are the use cases? ~~~ pavlov Making the registry global allows compilers to optimize away those Symbol.for() calls, since they know that each call to Symbol.for("cat") is going to resolve to the same symbol instance. ~~~ agd But if people are concerned about performance, they can just pre- allocate/memoize the symbols. It doesn't seem like the registry adds any new functionality, and it might encourage use of globals. Surely that's a bad thing? ------ jordanwallwork I'm not from a Ruby/Lisp background, so I don't know how symbols are typically used, but the explanation of why symbols are required is to prevent collisions if two libraries chose to use the same property name; so given that, what is the point of the Symbol registry? I don't understand what the value of a symbol that is referenced by a string is, over simply using the string? ~~~ carussell See `Symbol.hasInstance` and `Symbol.iterator`; take them as examples. Mapping an object to its iterator is going to be part of the spec and will be required at the language level (`for...of`). Before, if you looked at all of an objects' properties in SpiderMonkey, you will have noticed an `@@iterator` property. The spec could achieve the same thing as it's trying for with `Symbol.iterator` by just using a string-valued `@@iterator` property, but you still get the collision with anybody who would have used that name for something else or anyone looping over all the properties. The gist is this: symbols are just a way to have non-strings that you can use for properties. There are _also_ facilities to generate them in such a way that the symbol will never, ever collide with those generated by somebody else, but that's not their only purpose. ~~~ jordanwallwork Ah yeah that makes sense, cheers! ------ espadrine If you think that this language feature has no equivalent in your favorite language, it is similar to Ruby's :symbol, where it is mostly used as keys to their hash tables (they're implemented with hashes internally). Common Lisp has something even closer for its macro system. When you write code that writes code, you often need to create new variable names that won't collide or shadow anything. `(gensym)` does that: [http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/f_gens...](http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw50/CLHS/Body/f_gensym.htm#gensym). Here's a list of languages with support for symbols. You will see even Objective-C has it: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_%28programming%29#Suppo...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Symbol_%28programming%29#Support). I'd be curious to learn how it is implemented in JS engines. ~~~ inglor Like a property basically - except the key is not a string and is known to the engine. This is both simple and uses existing JIT facilities. Symbol property access isn't particularly slower than regular access this way too. See [http://blog.peschla.net/doxygen/v8_chromium_r157275/classv8_...](http://blog.peschla.net/doxygen/v8_chromium_r157275/classv8_1_1internal_1_1_symbol_key.html) \- it's ------ xienze > Sometimes it would be awfully convenient to stash some extra data on a > JavaScript object that really belongs to someone else.

Rolls-Royce Touts Nuclear Reactors as Key to Clean Jet Fuel - JumpCrisscross https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2019-12-06/rolls-royce-pitches-nuclear-reactors-as-key-to-clean-jet-fuel ====== nradov In the long run this will also be the future of merchant shipping. We can't generally install nuclear reactors in civilian vessels due to high costs and security concerns. But we can use nuclear power on shore to produce carbon neutral synthetic fuel, then run ships on that. ~~~ trenchgun It would in the long run be a lot better solution to run container ships with nuclear reactors directly though. But probably not going to happen because of public opinion. ~~~ kylehotchkiss There's some issues with pirates in many parts of the world though (source: Captain Phillips movie). It's just not practical to really secure container ships from every feasible sea and air attack surface, unless there was a big red button that just drops the reactor into the depths of the ocean. ~~~ DuskStar And even without pirates, merchant vessels have incidents with disturbing frequency. A lot of these incidents never have a cause firmly attached to them, because the crew's all dead, the ship is somewhere in a 10,000 square kilometer stretch of ocean, and that ocean is 1km+ deep. Not that the wreck being known and (relatively) shallow is a panacea either, as the variety [0] of hypotheses concerning the cause of the Edmund Fitzgerald wreck should demonstrate. I trust the US Navy to operate reactors at sea - they've done a damn good job of it over the years, with no losses since 1968. And even those losses (USS Thresher, SSN-593 [1] and USS Scorpion, SSN-589 [2]) haven't caused radiation leaks. Merchant shippers? Yeahhhhh.... No. 0: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald#Hypothese...](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SS_Edmund_Fitzgerald#Hypotheses_on_the_cause_of_sinking) 1: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Thresher_(SSN-593)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Thresher_$SSN-593$) 2: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Scorpion_(SSN-589)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Scorpion_$SSN-589$) ~~~ sterlind Maybe you could get the US Navy to crew a few container mega-ships in the national interest of international commerce? Reducing climate change and political concern over the carbon involved is arguably a better use of the Navy's time than fleet exercises, and it wouldn't take that many people. ~~~ simonh There are over 9,000 fully cellular container ships operational right now, and container ships are only 13% of global merchant shipping capacity. The roughly 70 ~20k TEU megaships all together are only 10% of total container ship capacity. A few megaships is insignificant in overall economic terms. ~~~ jiofih What is the other 87%? How is that possible if 90% of goods are transported by sea? ~~~ maxerickson The majority of goods are on bulk carriers and tankers. Grain, coal, oil, etc. ~~~ jiofih The parent said “container ships are only 13% of global merchant shipping capacity”. I’m wondering how else goods are being transported... ~~~ maxerickson Indeed, bulk carriers and tankers are ships that aren't container ships. ------ erentz It seems to be around the wrong way. We need the nuclear reactors providing constant reliable power day and night to the grid, whereas variable renewables such as solar are better for creating synthetic fuels since to be viable on a large scale they need to be combined with a form of storage anyway, which is what the synthetic fuels would be. ~~~ Aloha Clean energy seems wildly impractical for airplanes. There is no battery tech approaching kerosene for power density, and unlike fuel, the battery doesn't get lighter as it's used up. ~~~ loeg The article suggests compressed hydrogen. Although that has obvious problems (at some point there is probably a tradeoff between increased density and the weight of the storage tank required to safely hold that density, which directly related to energy density) and probably more subtle problems, it would be clean-burning. Edit: Random wikipedia page[1] gives energy density of "jet fuel" as 35 MJ/L and liquid (i.e., about as compressed as you're going to get) hydrogen as ... 8.5 MJ/L. Yeah, that's not even close, nevermind. LNG gets you to 22 MJ/L, which is still 2/3 of the density and requires storage at -160°C, which costs more energy, etc, and isn't clean-burning (but maybe slightly better than kerosene). [1]: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_density) ~~~ jemfinch But a liter of compressed hydrogen weighs 38 grams, while a liter of kerosene weighs 810 grams. So the energy density by _gram_ , rather than liter, is in favor of compressed hydrogen by a factor of more than 5x. I don't know what the tradeoff is between volume and weight in aviation, but it's worth noting that we can measure density by both volume and weight, and by weight compressed hydrogen defeats kerosene. ~~~ evgen If you are going to compare hydrogen and kerosene by weight you need to include the weight of the containment vessel. For kerosene that is a thin piece of aluminum. For hydrogen it is...not. ------ wahern If they were serious about this I would think they make an effort to start building such a project in a country where the chance of regulatory approval is better than a snowball's chance in hell. Like maybe somewhere in the Middle East, near several mega airport hubs, existing shipping routes for fossil fuel shipments (e.g. natural gas), and a political environment eager to establish an industry on the upswing that complements existing competitive advantages.[1] [1] I know the Middle East isn't very strong in the high-end, value-add part of the energy supply chain--refining, etc. But this would be a perfect way to rectify that. ~~~ godelski Middle east doesn't work, there is a connection to nuclear weapons. I honestly can't think of a country that fits your criteria. China? Maybe? But that's iffy and comes with other issues. NK? But working with NK or any country that is going to violate nuclear arms treaties ( _cough_ Middle East _cough_ ) you're going to have a hard time doing business with the first world. Which means that if you're a business trying to do this that you have to be completely funded by said country that will violate those treaties because you are giving up your other revenue streams. I don't imagine Rolls-Royce wants to give up their current revenue streams and work with dictators for this high risk endeavor. ~~~ buzzkillington Singapore probably. They already have a hugely cancerous, in the traditional sense, chemical industry within a stones throw away from major population zones. Throwing some nuclear into the mix will be a step up in terms of environmental damage. ~~~ tim333 The 'hugely cancerous' industry doesn't seem to be cancering it up very hugely given this recent headline: "Singaporeans have world's longest life expectancy at 84.8 years" ~~~ buzzkillington Yes, they are smart enough to have the Malays and Indians working with the truly heinous chemicals. Maybe Mainlanders now - haven't been there since the 00s. So much better on your statistics when the people dying do it back home, after you have worked them 8/9ths to the grave. ~~~ gdy So the 'environmental damage' you were talking about affects people selectively based on their citizenship? ------ rsynnott Rolls Royce, maker of nuclear reactors and jet engines, apparently wants to offer a package deal. ~~~ acidburnNSA Did you know that the US Air Force and Atomic Energy Commission spent $1B 1950s dollars on nuclear-powered airplanes before we perfected intercontinental ballistic missiles? It's true! In fact, the much loved Molten Salt nuclear reactor design is a direct descendant of this program. [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Nuclear_Propulsion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aircraft_Nuclear_Propulsion) ~~~ missosoup Now that drones are set to completely dominate the arena and shielding is no longer a concern, nuclear propulsion is going to come back. Russia is already doing it with the Skyfall missile. Having a weapon or an attack craft with practically unlimited range and endurance is too tempting a capability to not develop. I'm sure Lockheed and co are dreaming up large nuclear powered flying carriers which deliver swarms of smaller drones and standoff missiles anywhere on earth in a few hours. ~~~ jabl What additional useful capability does this provide? ICBM's already provide global nuclear strike capability. FWIW the US also had a mad doomsday nuclear powered cruise missile project (project Pluto). ~~~ missosoup It's the dream. A flying carrier delivers conventional air superiority anywhere on the planet in hours at a fraction of the cost and risk associated with naval carriers. ICBMs are a ww3 doomsday weapon and belong to a completely different class. The ideal air superiority fight for USA would be to get a bunch of large long- range cargo planes carrying pallet launched missiles and drones and dump it all at standoff range. The only thing holding that strategy back is the cost and logistics of keeping those planes fuelled in the air. ~~~ pastage Keeping those planes maintained and serviced is going to cost abit too. ------ yk > Electricity costs [for small modular reactors] would be 30% lower than for a > large nuclear facility, matching wind power, with the modular approach > allowing parts to be made on a factory production line. I wonder why they don't use wind power in that case. ~~~ zbobet2012 Base load generation. [https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_load](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base_load) Or put another way the wind doesn't always blow at the same rate. ~~~ Krasnol [https://skepticalscience.com/print.php?r=374](https://skepticalscience.com/print.php?r=374) Summary Arguments that renewable energy isn't up to the task because "the Sun doesn't shine at night and the wind doesn't blow all the time" are overly simplistic. There are a number of renewable energy technologies which can supply baseload power. The intermittency of other sources such as wind and solar photovoltaic can be addressed by interconnecting power plants which are widely geographically distributed, and by coupling them with peak-load plants such as gas turbines fueled by biofuels or natural gas which can quickly be switched on to fill in gaps of low wind or solar production. Numerous regional and global case studies – some incorporating modeling to demonstrate their feasibility – have provided plausible plans to meet 100% of energy demand with renewable sources. ~~~ j-pb Why the hell is this well argued and reference providing comment down voted?! ~~~ 08-15 "The intermittency... can be addressed by... natural gas" That is indeed a great way to argue that renewables can do it all. Cynical individuals would even conclude that they just use renewables as a convenient talking point to shill for fossil methane. ~~~ imtringued I don't understand this argument. Renewable energy and fossil fuel usage can be summarized in a single number: percentage of energy produced by renewables. As long as that number goes up everything is fine. Switching to natural gas allows that number to go up even faster. So why does it matter what label is attached to the fossil fuel part of the number? What a lot of people seem to forget is that the CO2 level doesn't care about the time of the day the CO2 is emitted or whether you use 80% fossil fuels on one particular day and then 30% on every other day. Intermittency doesn't prevent renewables from reducing CO2 emissions, unless of course people ban the transition technology called natural gas. Then it doesn't even make sense to close the coal plants and we will have neither renewables nor will we stop using fossil fuels and the fossil fuels that are still in use, will be the dirtiest kind because coal emits more CO2 emissions per kWh than natural gas. Once you realize the crucial difference between a peaker plant and a "baseload" plant you will start to realize that it's the baseload plants that are holding everything back. Peaker plants have low capital costs. They can be built in a short time frame. Unlike a baseload plant they do not have to run continuously to recoup their initial investment even if that means that renewables will have to be shut off (alternatively you shut off the coal plants but remember you still have to pay for them even if they produce nothing). The key aspect is that natural gas is more expensive, to the point that it never makes sense to deploy natural gas when renewables are available. ------ credit_guy As many nuclear skeptics are keen to point out, the main counterargument to nuclear is construction costs. In the tens of billions. As Elon Musk has demonstrated though, there is nothing set in stone when it comes to manufacturing costs, the lower bound is only the cost of raw materials. If manufacturing costs go to zero, a new nuclear power plant could cost of the order of $10 MM rather than $20 BN. Elon has shown us that you can reduce manufacturing costs of rockets by a factor of 10 to 100 in a mater of one to two decades, if you put your mind to it. Small nuclear reactors are the only chance of the nuclear industry to reduce manufacturing costs, but once they get rolling, there is no reason to believe they can't reduce their costs by a factor of 10 at least. For example, this article mentions a cost of $2.4BN per small reactor. A comparable US Navy small reactor (used for submarines) costs around $100 MM [1]. For some reason the US Navy doesn't appear inclined to share its know-how with the civilians, but that should give us an idea of what's possible.

That humanity has not moved into a nuclear age is nothing but utter and sytstematic failure of human society and institutions. ------ newnewpdro This is not a solution. CO2 emissions in the upper atmosphere are problematic regardless of how you make the fuel. We need a different propulsion system for aviation, period. The generally accepted "impact" multiplier for aviation emissions is 2.6, so let's say the fuel was "carbon neutral" \- wouldn't it then be 1.6? Not 0. Edit: Unless we're talking about straight hydrogen-fueled engines, is that where this article is aimed? Biofuels and Synfuels are still carbon-based AIUI, but TFA is a bit ambiguous here. ------ dredmorbius In the event anyone thinks that the notion of synfuel generation from nuclear power is new ... it's not. M. King Hubbert, who first conceived of (and successfully predicted US) peak oil suggested this ... in 1962: "Energy Resources: A Report to the Committe on Natural Resources" On p. 139: <quote> Synthesis of Chemical Fuels. Automotive vehicles for both highway and air transportation are dependent for their energy supply upon the energy stored chemically in the form principally of liquid fuels, and, so far as can now be seen, will continue to be so. Heretofore these fuels have been obtained almost solely from the fossil fuels in which the energy was originally stored by photosynthesis. On the other hand, it has long been known to be possible to manufacture simpler but equally useful fuels by means of the schematic chemical reaction: Energy + CO2 + H20 -> Fuel + O2 This has not been done because the energy required for the reaction would have to be obtained by burning already synthesized fossil fuels. [NB: It has been done, but generally in converting solid fossil fuels to liquid, e.g., Germany's coal-to-liquids program during WWII.] With the advent of nuclear energy this situation is drastically changed. Here, with an almost unlimited supply of energy potentially available, it would be a a comparatively simple matter to synthesize any desireable quantity of liquid and gaseous fuels from common inorganic substances such as water and limestone. Were this eventually to be done, our remaining fossil fuels, comprising already synthesized complex organic molecules, could be more effectively used as the raw material for an increasingly versatile chemical industry. </quote> [http://www.hubbertpeak.com/hubbert/EnergyResources.pdf](http://www.hubbertpeak.com/hubbert/EnergyResources.pdf) There was a small bit of stir a few years ago when the US Naval Research Lab published research on the concept, also looking to use nuclear power, largely for _in situ_ fuel provisioning for carrier-based combat aircraft. Those papers only cited research back to the mid-1990s, making the concept seem novel. I discovered it's not, with active research dating to the mid-1960s at Brookhaven National Laboratory and the late Mayer Steinberg, as well as M.I.T., and the more recent USNRL work. The underlying chemistry works. Scaling the concept seems to be problematic, as well as economics, though that has more to do with the mis-pricing of fossil fuels than failures of Fischer-Tropsch, in my view. I posted a number of items on it, including a literature review, here: [https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/search?q=fischer- tropsc...](https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/search?q=fischer- tropsch&restrict_sr=on) Lit review: [https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/28nqoz/electri...](https://old.reddit.com/r/dredmorbius/comments/28nqoz/electrical_fuel_synthesis_from_seawater_older/) ~~~ darksaints The big problem with Fischer Tropsch is the wasted energy. Solid oxide fuel cells can directly turn carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide with a little bit of electrical current, but that last oxygen atom comes off in the Fischer Tropsch reactor where it is far more likely to bind with hydrogen than it is to another oxygen molecule. This essentially means that half the hydrogen you electrolyze is going to end up back as water again. That's a lot of wasted electricity. Biomass has potential through Fischer Tropsch though. Not much use on an aircraft carrier, but way more energy efficient to produce syngas with biomass. ~~~ dredmorbius I don't know the chemistry all that well (other than the net overall balance). But if there are alternative pathways ... that could be useful. I do believe that there are catalysts (generally iron, thankfully not very exotic) involved. There's also the Sabatier process, which yields methane rather than liquid fuels. I believe that can be further processed to arrive at longer-chain hydrocarbons. HC6-HC10 chains are roughly petrol/gasoline, HC12 is about kerosene, and HC16 or so roughly diesel, as I understand. Methane is CH4. The problem with biomass is that our present energy demands are _immense_. A sufficient amount for military aviation needs, possibly. Enough to sustain present levels of commercial and private aviation: no. HANPP / the photosynthetic ceiling is a real bitch.

I'm utterly convinced they don't. At least not for a world with 1-7 billion drivers. _Maybe_ with 100 million cars. Henry Ford suggested alcohol, from grains, as a fuel circa 1900. At the time, 20% of US grain production _was_ dedicated to transport, though utilising a somewhat different prime mover: horses. ~~~ philipkglass When electricity from solar and wind power were much more expensive, biomass looked attractive as a lower cost (if limited-availability) energy source. I'd say that it is still potentially attractive for making liquid fuels, but less because of its embodied energy content and more as a compact source of carbon that has recently been removed from the atmosphere. Cellulosic ethanol is pretty terrible even when the process is operating as planned: [http://www.ethanolproducer.com/articles/15344/zero- to-10-mil...](http://www.ethanolproducer.com/articles/15344/zero- to-10-million-in-5-years) 70 gallons of ethanol from 1 short ton of cellulose means 230 kg from 1000 kg of cellulose. There's 444 kg of carbon in that much cellulose, enough to make 518 kg of diesel fuel if given enough externally supplied hydrogen. The energy content of the final fuel from 1 tonne of cellulose is 23.6 GJ for diesel and only 6.9 GJ for the ethanol. Liquid biofuels from non-cellulosic inputs have even worse areal productivity. (Barring (theoretically) algae, which nobody seems to be able to implement at industrial scale.) US airline fuel consumption peaked in 2007 at 20 billion gallons per year: [https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=31512](https://www.eia.gov/todayinenergy/detail.php?id=31512) That's about 63 million tonnes of kerosene/diesel. You'd need at least 122 million tonnes of cellulosic biomass to supply carbon for that much fuel. You'd also need refiners, crackers, and recapture in addition to F-T units to ensure that both too-light and too-heavy carbon compounds get recycled to produce liquid hydrocarbons of the desired saturation and molecular weight. It would basically be running a state of the art petrochemical complex with biomass gasifiers and electrolytic hydrogen bolted on. But assuming you did all that, the raw material availability looks relatively favorable. As of 2005, this report estimated that over 300 million tonnes of currently-unused dry biomass could be sustainably harvested from forests and agricultural wastes: [https://www1.eere.energy.gov/bioenergy/pdfs/final_billionton...](https://www1.eere.energy.gov/bioenergy/pdfs/final_billionton_vision_report2.pdf) ~~~ dredmorbius The reduction in fuel consumption apparently also suprised the FAA. In its 2002 RITA projection, the forecast total commercial aviation consumption for 2012 (that's nearly 8 years ago now) was ~33 billion gallons. As of 2016, it was still only aroun 17 billion, or nearly 50% below the forecast _for four years prior_. Whether this is a testiment to efficiency or a harbinger of peak oil, I'm not entirely certain. Though as an example of the shifts in resource utilisation following prices, it's instructive. The efficiency improvements, it should be noted, are in both per _revenue_ passenger mile and per _capacity_ passenger mile. Those result both from an increased number of seats per aircraft (that's where your legroom's gone), _and_ in the number of paying butts in those seats, largely courtesy improved predictive sales / incentives methodologies. And improvements in aircraft efficiencies. Such as by high-bypass turbofan engines, which require ever higher, and forward-positioned, mounting systems. Which then affect aircraft handling and stability.... There are probably limits to both approaches. ------ ChuckMcM Would be an excellent application of a travelling wave reactor located in a remote spot. ------ viburnum Aviation uses so much energy, it’s gotta be this or stop flying. ~~~ BurningFrog My theory is that people hugely overestimate the importance of things they see and touch. Flying is _the_ most fossil fuel intensive thing regular people interact with, so we naturally assume it's the biggest energy user there is. Last I heard the number was around 2% of all CO₂ emissions. ~~~ duckymcduckface Heating is actually the biggest user, accounts for 50% of global energy demand. This includes space heating as well as process heat. ~~~ petre Process heat is useful, only nobody wants to live near industry or nuclear power station. Maybe it can work out with SMRs. ~~~ acidburnNSA I lived 6 miles from an operating nuclear power plant for decades. It was fine. Interestingly, the most pro-nuclear people are often those who live in the emergency planning zone. It's thought that this is due to the local outreach that the plants do with boy scouts and whatnot. ~~~ MiroF Also probably selection bias. And also people who are employed there live nearby. ~~~ acidburnNSA That's also certainly part of it. I think it's a good thing that people who work there generally feel very safe. Interestingly, the nuclear industry has one of the best occupational health records. Mostly because you have to take a damned training before you operate a ladder. ------ jdkdnfndnfjd Solar is way better for this. Producing jet fuel can start and stop which is perfect for solar. Powering houses has to be constant ~~~ acidburnNSA I used to believe this too. Talking to industrials, I learned that many industrial processes require major capital investments that demand continuous supply of power. For instance, a big water desalination plant can cost $4B. You better believe they want to run that sucker 24/7 to make a good return on investment. ------ hristov Rolls Royce makes small nuclear reactors for submarines, and naturally, their solution to the worlds climate crisis is for more people to buy their small modular nuclear reactors. Don't pay attention, this is just salesmanship. It is a little depressing to think that with the world at crisis, the best companies like Rolls Royce can respond is to think "well there must be some way to shoehorn our existing products into this existential crisis everyone is talking about". Small modular nuclear reactors are very dangerous because they are not secured under heavy concrete and thus can easily blow up when something goes wrong. And something usually goes wrong. Their reasoning for using nuclear is nonsensical. There is no reason why those green fuel generating facilities cannot be connected to the grid. And as far as building new power generation for the grid, renewable energy is already far cheaper than nuclear. ~~~ godelski The majority of climate scientists are pro nuclear. But that is just talking about grid energy. There's still a lot of problems in other industries (and sub problems within energy and transportation). There's no great green revolution in: \- Flying \- Shipping \- Heat and A/C \- Industry \- Concrete/Steel/Construction \- Agriculture and many more. We often talk about transportation and grid energy, but that isn't even half the problem. And the US is only 15% of global emissions and the EU-28 is 9%. What's happening here is that there is no good solution currently proposed. If you want to critique the proposed solution, that is welcomed. But critique it on its merits. But from your comment you seem to believe that all reactors are the same, that no advanced have been made since Chernobyl, and most importantly that you haven't read the article. ~~~ Krasnol > The majority of climate scientists are pro nuclear. Do you have any credible sources on that? ~~~ godelski I commonly quote IPCC recommendations because this is an easy reference with recommendations in several releases, but people rather don't like this and claim bureaucracy (this is easy to find and can be found from emission reports to the climate summits. I can explain some nuance if there are actual questions here). I can also anecdotally, working in HPC, tell you that I have yet to meet a climate scientist that is anti-nuclear or anti-sequestration (a politician that I really like sadly calls these "false solutions"). By anecdotally I mean that I talk to these people.

None of them are available and all lead to a page that is not the SEM council) in it's sources and would not even closely cover either the statement "pro nuclear" nor any "majority" and it's been selected for this publication by the World Nuclear Association... The second one consist sentences like: "Increasing the installed capacity of RE power plants will reduce the amount of fossil and nuclear fuels that otherwise would be needed in order to meet a given electricity demand." or "There are multiple means for lowering GHG emissions from the energy system while still providing desired energy services." where nuclear is just one option among many others or "There have been significant power reductions from nuclear and coal plants during drought conditions in the USA and France in recent years." and so on. The focus is clearly on RE and I don't see a clear "pro nuclear" message there. The third one is focused on emissions based upon unnamed sources from an unknown time range (which is relevant for RE as there is rapid development unlike in nuclear) ignoring relevant topics like nuclear waste management ([https://worldnuclearwastereport.org/](https://worldnuclearwastereport.org/)) and seems to end up being pro wind. I tried to find some more data on nuclear energy on their page but it seems they are not considering it at all: [https://www.nrel.gov/research/data- tools.html](https://www.nrel.gov/research/data-tools.html) So yeah, you could provide something that focuses on that "majority" and "pro nuclear" parts. That would be nice. And please spare me nuclear lobby groups. We had enough of their marketing efforts in the recent months here.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

And of course it's open source. ------ stevenwu Question to spark discussion and for me to fill potential gaps in my knowledge, not to criticize the article as I very much appreciate the transparency and build-up from the simple naive initial approach to the final approach used in production: Is anyone else bothered by the claim that there "is a 100% chance that the new version is better than the current one" shown by using bootstrap? Maybe I've just never come across such a use of bootstrap through my encounters with statistics. I know it as a tool for resampling from a population to build up properties of your estimator (mean, variance, what have you) when all you have is a dataset and no clue about the actual distribution. When I saw bootstrap with that probabilistic claim, I thought the author would calculate a bootstrapped (100-x)% confidence interval for both the current and the new weights: and if the intervals didn't overlap with one another then you can claim with (100-x)% certainty that one is better than the other. But the author creates a new statistic that is a function of both datasets; Z_i = 1 if new is better than current on iteration i (on a random subset of data) else 0, and for all N=10000 iterations Z_i = 1. The chance/probabilistic claim made of new being better than current is based on the fact that no variation was seen on Z_i (I'm also kind of skeptical that out of so many iterations with random subsets that each time the new weights were better than the current). I think at most you can say that you simulated subsets of the data and 100% of the time new > current; the current claim leads me to believe there's inference that isn't there. Maybe I should just ask one of my past stats profs. Open to someone enlightening me. ~~~ brockf A quantile-based confidence interval from bootstrapping can yield a 100% confidence interval that does not contain 0, i.e., with 100% of cases positive/negative. But that does not (necessarily) mean that there is a 100% chance that the new version is better than the old one. Confidence intervals are not Bayesian credible intervals and cannot be treated as such. (That said, making some certain assumptions about the underlying model can in some times allow one to treat nonparametric bootstraps in such a way.) ~~~ stevenwu Right. The author finds 100% of the time for his current dataset but makes a statement that implies some certainty or inference on future cases. Like taking 100 men, 100 women and finding that 100 randomly matched pairs had the man taller than the woman 100 times, and making the claim that there is a 100% chance that men are taller than women. The more I type the more I realize how pedantic this is, but we're emphasized in stats to pay extra attention to the conclusions we draw from the data we analyze. ------ EternalData Great read. I loved the honest balance between engineering features and how much they ultimately ended up mattering to users. Oftentimes, the features we select can be quite arbitrary -- it's good to do gut checks by running real- time validation of results as often as possible. Fortunately, at Stack, you've got the userbase to do just that :) ------ amenod > Genetic algorithm running on 56-core machine Wow, just... wow. I wonder why they didn't utilize (multiple) GPUs instead? I would guess it would be far more efficient in all aspects. Especially now that there is TensorFlow & co. ~~~ gaius $150k on GPGPUs seems a bit steep if you're going to throw that approach away anyway... ~~~ annnnd Why $150k? Ordinary GPU (<$1k) would probably be equivalent to 56 CPU cores, if not faster.

Treble: A modular base for Android - chickenbane https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/05/here-comes-treble-modular-base-for.html ====== sorenjan Finally, can't believe it took them this long. The sorry state of the update situation is one of the worst things about Android. Next step would probably be to provide an API to the OEMs so they can add their "value add" functionality as apps, so Google can push updates to all phones regardless of hardware drivers and OEM modifications. And maybe make it possible to update emoji via the Play store, instead of needing a new system update. I don't like the blank boxes in messages from my iOS friends. I wonder if this means that Google will lead by example and prolong the time they deliver updates to their own phones. They don't guarantee new updates to their current Pixel phones after October 2018 [0], which is not good enough. [0] [https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?hl=en](https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/4457705?hl=en) ~~~ pjmlp It is an illusion to think this will ever change, if Google doesn't make it legally binding to having updates in place to access Google Play Services for example. There are no incentives in place for doing otherwise. Already in the old days, Nokia was one of the very few manufacturers that bothered to provide firmware updates, and even then usually only once. ~~~ sorenjan If Google makes it easier for manufacturers to make phones that can be updated OTA by Google than phones that can not (custom Android builds) most of them would probably do so. Have a hardware layer, an Android system layer, an OEM layer, and have a clear interface between them so they can be updated independently. Then Google should push updates themselves, they can't leave that to phone manufacturers or carriers, like you said, there's no incentives for them to do so. Of course, this has been an issue for Android since day one, so I wont hold my breath. Are there any work done on a system similar to the one on PC, where software can enumerate available hardware? We have advanced computers in our pockets, but they can't be updated to a new OS version as easy as a 15 year old PC. It's ridiculous. ~~~ izacus But "ease" isn't the problem - the issues OEMs have are because they literally go hack and fork the AOSP source itself (making upstream merges hard or impossible) for sometimes really dumb reasons. This is also the source of constant headaches for us app developers (like the recent case where Realm found out that Samsung broke memmove() on their devices!). The other issue is that there's zero (0, no) incentive to update the devices. No matter how easy it is - the OEMs see that as a pure cost that won't be recuperated. For each of the (literaly!) 100 devices they churn out per year they need to get new drivers from the SoC manufaturer (and Qualcomm pretty much does not give a crap about SoCs of the previous year, especially lower end ones - which makes this process stop there), update the kernel and move all their specific hacks to it. I don't see how these changes Google did will change incentives. The only way we might see a change in this field is by a few class action suites from users being left without updates or regulators putting down the punitive damages hammer. Everything else is just Google kindly hoping OEMs will stop being dicks from the goodness of their heart. In car industry we have strong regulation which demands that your car is serviceable at least 5 years since last unit was sold (and that their security issues are fixed by recalls). We need that for arguably the most important electronic devices in our lives as well. ~~~ dragonwriter > No matter how easy it is - the OEMs see that as a pure cost that won't be > recuperated Treble removes much of the cause for forking, and removes the cost for OEMs that follow it's design. ------ demarq "device makers can choose to deliver a new Android Update" ... "can choose". Preferably they shouldn't be able to choose. Google should be in charge of updates and manufacturers should have to make a special effort to prevent an update. i.e if they are certain that an update will brick their device they would then make a formal request to google not to send the update to their devices. ~~~ sigmar Agreed. Updating the phone being easier won't solve the problem. The problem is a mismatch in incentives. Manufacturers don't have an incentive to update older devices because (1) they don't want to put any resources into last year's phone and (2) they want their customers to upgrade to their newly released phone. ~~~ usrusr Still waiting for a phone brand to bite the bullet and offer _paid_ updates. Because it's either that or no updates. I know what I would prefer. ~~~ voltagex_ It still won't solve the "Qualcomm won't update the BSP" issue, though. ~~~ swiley This right here! Closed SOC BSPs that are tied to android are the real problem! If google had stuck with the standard Linux APIs or added appropriate new one when they needed them and where more strict about open software we wouldn't be in this mess. ~~~ vetinari Not true. Witness the routers or another embedded devices, that are using standard Linux and yet are never updated. Or worse, coming with obsolete kernel right at the release day. ------ slackstation This should usher in a new era of cheap phones that upgrade immediately to the newest version of the Android OS. It lowers the price floor for a shiny new phone. All of these additional features are expensive to create but, they are differentiators. With this, Google has the ability to push more new features on the base OS. By conforming to this standard, Google make it easier for them to compete with all of these manufacturers' features. Now it's up to them to make compelling reasons to upgrade their phones beyond apps. I see things like Google Assistant, Mapping, etc. being more integrated into the OS so that you are always in the Google system no matter what app you are currently in. This is a big and brilliant win if they can first pull it off technically and then pull it off with compelling services. They certainly look like they are investing heavily in both. I look forward to a $99 or $199 (or $49 if you can stomach sketchy Chinese phones) phone that just keeps getting better and better and better for free as long as the phone works. This also makes a very compelling thing to make the phone into a computer once the battery can't hold a charge, etc. Take the guts or use some kind of USB->HDMI out and make it into a TV app or a digital mirror or another internet station somewhere. Brilliant move Google. ~~~ smichel17 > I see things like Google Assistant, Mapping, etc. being more integrated into > the OS so that you are always in the Google system no matter what app you > are currently in. No thank you. I use Android because it's a free and open system. ~~~ pjmlp Given the lack of updates and the missing parts on AOSP source tree, that is a fallacy. ------ cwyers I am amused that their graphical representation of the Android version customized for a particular model of phone is "Android mascot dressed up in a really cool spacesuit looking thing" and not "Android mascot with bags of trash stapled haphazardly to him," which would probably be more accurate. ~~~ duncanawoods > really cool spacesuit looking thing Look closer - its a fetching combo of fanny pack, boxer shorts, ice skates, ski goggles etc. pretty much the crap you wanted. ~~~ kbutler That's really awesome - thanks for making me go back and actually look at it. Upvoted the grandparent, just to keep it high in the list so that your comment would stay near the top of the page... ------ GordonS Do vendors actually _want_ to let users update the software on their devices though? I would have thought new shiny software was a nice incentive to get customers to upgrade to a new phone? ~~~ jm_l Companies are incentivized in the long term to make good products. This incentive usually eclipses incentives that our (often justified) anti- corporate suspicions invent. ~~~ GordonS I'd like to believe that. But profits rule. Smartphone usage must be pretty close to saturation point, in the developed world at least. Samsung, Apple etc release a new, _expensive_ device every year, and it's natural that they are going to want existing customers to upgrade. I think the only way Android users (of non-Google devices, that is) are going to get software upgrades is if Google somehow forces vendors to do it. ~~~ petra It might be enough for a single vendor to "break ranks" and go with treble to have a decent effect. Xiaomi did so with their large batteries, for example. ~~~ GordonS I'm more an Android guy, so I don't have an iPhone (except for testing on mobile apps I'm working on), and so I don't know what the update situation is like. But my (limited!) understanding is that when they release new iOS versions they are available at least a couple of generations back - is that correct? Or if you buy a network locked phone is it up to the network? ~~~ halostatue Depending on the nature of the update, iPhone updates are generally 3–5 generations back. Just on the iPhone side, iOS 10 has some level of support on the iPhone 7 (current generation); iPhone 6s (-1 year); iPhone 6 (-2 years); iPhone SE (slightly updated iPhone 5s); iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c (-3 years); and iPhone 5 (-4 years). That’s five generations of support for iPhone. They are a little more aggressive with iPad and iPod touch deprecation, but I think that’s because some of those devices were built underpowered anyway. ------ therealmarv Maybe we can benefit from this in 2 or 3 years? I'm very pessimistic... it takes LOOOOOOONG before vendors will look into Android O and the interfaces and the first generation benefiting from this will be earliest Android P updates. And do not forget: This whole process does not reduce testing time and the carriers might also look for long testing on updates ;) ~~~ Jabbles It sounds like the vendor abstraction layer will make things a lot simpler for manufacturers and vendors, so the cost savings alone should tempt them. I'm not sure, but couldn't this benefit vendors/manufacturers/users upgrading to O? Also, remember that manufacturers have probably known about this for a while. ~~~ cpeterso An improved vendor abstraction layer might make porting easier but it still doesn't provide any incentive for vendors to actually update old devices. :( ------ julioneander If Google actually implements a way of pushing those underlying Android updates directly to the phones then I think they might actually be successful. If Google end up still relying on the manufactures and carriers to push those updates out, then what incentive will they have to keep the phones updated? ~~~ dmitrygr If we're lucky - consumer pressure. ~~~ ocdtrekkie An almost nonexistent percentage of users know what version of Android they have or if it's the latest, in the grand scheme of things. In the tech bubble, it's hard to imagine, but I'd go so far as to suggest most Android users don't know they run Android. If people realized how many security risks they open themselves up to by running old Android versions and that the "your phone is up to date" line in their Settings app is basically a lie, Android would not be the dominant platform on earth. ~~~ UnoriginalGuy By contrast many iOS users do know which version and the media reports on releases. One could argue that this is the power of releasing to millions of devices concurrently, as opposed to spread out over sometimes years like Android. Windows Phone had issues but updates was not one of them and you knew which release you were on them too. ~~~ bitmapbrother Of course Windows Phone had update problems. Carriers would hold back or not even release updates. And then there was Microsoft who was osborning their OS's and phones. ~~~ ocdtrekkie The point here is that Windows Mobile has already solved this problem: All Windows 10 devices receive OS updates directly from Microsoft servers, as a requirement of using the platform. (Even in 8.1, if you were on Developer Preview, you got updates straight from Microsoft, apart from carrier/OEM channels.) Drivers/firmware are pushed separately. This appears to be where Google is perhaps finally heading. Once Treble is out there, Google will change their contract terms to mandate control over OS updates for all devices which license the Play Store. ~~~ bitmapbrother No Windows mobile has not solved that problem. Any updates involving firmware are still controlled by the carriers. It's a rather moot point as windows phone is dead anyway. >The new process still does not provide firmware updates, as far as we know, so carriers and their bottlenecks will still be involved in upgrading phones. ------ dmitrygr This removes one of the main excuses various vendors use for not providing Android updates. I truly hope this works in helping users always be up to date. ------ cjhanks It is my opinion that Google does not view Android as simply "an operating system for phones". Android has tremendous application in IoT devices and appliances. The lifecycle of many applications is quite a bit longer than the cell phone. As we see an increase in the diversity of applications using Android, this upgrade path will be very important. Just wait until you see your first ATM or POS system "Powered By Android ©". ~~~ swiley The only two reasons people put up with android on phones are 1) it's the only choice if you want something small with a cell modem 2) it's the only choice if you want to run Snapchat Android is incredibly aweful. It's actually impossible to write apps for it that won't crash. If you're writing firmware it's even worse! Have you ever tried to build it? It's a nightmare! The source for a basic system is over 60GB and has a crazy number of dependencies. For embedded systems/IOT you're thousands of times better off just using buildroot or an RTOS. ~~~ cjhanks Well, is it really much worse than Windows CE? ~~~ swiley That's like comparing shooting yourself in the foot to shooting yourself in the head. There's no reason for either! ------ sandGorgon is this a hypervisor ? I'm kinding of wondering about the abstractions here... is this replacing the bootloader with a kind of bootloader+hypervisor and the actual OS loads on top of the hypervisor ? Their abstraction with the camera2 and hal3 was a small step in this direction. any camera with these abstractions would be able to use RAW imaging. ~~~ EddieRingle Nope, they've introduced a HIDL for defining hardware interfaces. See [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13928385](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13928385) which I posted back in March. ------ blinkingled So this will get users on to the next Android Framework version but if there are security bugs in vendor implementation or underlying firmware it'll still continue to be problematic for users. But it will solve the PR problem for Google if OEMs and Carriers update the framework version quick enough - the question raised mostly by tech pundits - when am I going to get the next update to Android - will have a satisfactory answer. Not to say this isn't a huge step forward from status quo - if vendors contribute features and fixes to MediaServer and everybody uses the same implementation it will be much easier to update it for all vendors. What still sucks is this is not going to be Google that will update the Android framework - it's still OEMs and the carriers. ------ neuromancer2701 This would seem to allow security updates at a faster rate, but the linux kernel will forever be abandoned to hardware vendor whims aka still on 3.10.X ~~~ pritambaral It seems they're making the vendors push their kernel patches into AOSP. From TFA: " In addition to the architectural changes, we're working with our silicon and device partners to take their code changes, such as features for a carrier network in a specific country, and move them into the common Android Open Source Project (AOSP) codebase. For example, Sony and Qualcomm contributed dozens of features and hundreds of bugfixes to Android O so they no longer need to rework these patches with each new release of Android. " ~~~ neuromancer2701 So is this a way around mainlining all of the silicon vendor's various kernels? I have heard that each vendor just hacks their hardware into the 3.10.X and then just keeps a repo of it to meet open source requirements. Because they are unable to make the quality requirements to get their code upstream. ~~~ makomk By the time anyone can get all the code required to support a modern SoC upstream in Linux, it's already obsolete. ------ afeezaziz For someone that is considering Android, coming from iOS, this is a brilliant idea that should have been implemented long ago. For example, a lot of Android phones are running 4.4 and 5.0 in this part of the world. Those versions are pretty bad and the people that bought Android 4.4 and 5.0 actually do not know what they are missing and how to actually update their OS since there is no way for them to do that for now. I hope that with this Treble, there will be a lot more Android phones(from Chinese makers) that can update base Android OS to the latest one much more frequently. ------ pasbesoin "...they'll be no [Treble] at all!" \-- Scotty, in _The Trouble With Tribbles_ What was the previous "vendor integration" initiative? How long did it last? Two years? Or was it one. Lack of vendor buy-in. Combined with Google's ADHD project support. Nice idea, but color me skeptical. I don't see anything that hints at a change in the fundamental cost/benefit that's driving the current mess. Maybe I'm just projecting cynicism, because I'd actually like to be proven wrong. And bad press seems to be the only external influence on Google, that actually gets through. ------ chrisballinger Would this help projects like LineageOS (formerly Cyanogenmod) maintain ongoing support for older devices? ~~~ ethbro If all the vendor crap and secret drivers are abstracted out sufficiently, yes. ~~~ petecox The bottom diagram suggests that the 'Android OS framework' could be made device independent, with Lineage OS only responsible for maintaining the 'Original vendor implementation'. A 'ROM' could then be split into 2 - the core system and the userspace running on top, with potentially the latter maintained by Google's AOSP across all devices. ------ EddieRingle I discovered this back in March. This is pretty exciting! Now all we need is to have Google distribute the framework over the Play Store instead of relying on OTAs, and all will be right with the world.

Android has always used cgroups. cgroups are not a security mechanism, though, it's for resource allocation. Regardless Android makes use of cgroups, cpusets, selinux, etc... That's all unrelated to the permission model, though, which more or less doesn't exist on desktop platforms. ~~~ pjmlp Actually the reality is a bit different than those marketing articles. They started to cherry pick library implementations from OpenJDK, but achieving feature parity is certainly not something they care about.

Ultimately the manufacturers want to do as little software work as possible.

Vendor Treble drivers will surely still be insecure buggy pieces of crap, but they might be sandboxable. If Google really has its eyes on the Magenta kernel, I imagine that Treble will be runnable in user mode, so I bet it really will be sandboxed. This would be a huge win. ------ ibic Android finally adapted the approach of Windows on PC - OS maker dictates the software pieces on all devices, the device makers only create the hardware and write drivers (optionally, some bloatware). I believe this is the right/better approach, and it solves no only the Android update hassle, but more importantly the fragmentation issue. ------ bsharitt Neat, Google has release this years fix for Android updates. I can't wait to see what next years fix looks like. ------ asciimo I wonder if this will make it easier to circumvent the vendor layer entirely-- jailbreak without replacing the OS? ------ drewg123 How much of the update problem is due to vendor customized UIs and apps, and how much is due to not upstreaming driver support for their hardware?

It's like Google doesn't get that hardware manufacturers need to sell you hardware... Am I missing something? ~~~ dukoid I assume you are implying that if the software can be updated, there would be no need for new hardware. Yet, for Apple, the opposite seems to be true :) ~~~ laumars Apple is an edge case in so many ways that Android OEMs differ: * Apple has a greater following of "must have the latest" consumers than most Android OEMs put together * Apple makes money from the app store. Both selling apps and developers submitting apps that expose cool new features in iOS. * Apple can release iOS updates that coincide with newer handsets but with software features only exposed in the newer hardware. Which also helps with the adoption of newer hardware. ------ ocdtrekkie It's incredible to me how long it took Google to realize this was their fault. A lot of people here have bought the "blame the OEM" nonsense for a really long time, and you can see the comments here reflect that. But in reality, there's a huge expense to all the work of updating devices to support Google's rapid change cycle for dozens or hundreds of different models, and the problem stems first and foremost from that lack of abstraction layer. This is likely a first step to finally catching up to Windows Mobile: Making the core OS upgrade come straight from the actual OS developer, so that the company that writes the code is actually the one that updates the code. ~~~ therealmarv Well I can blame OEM because I never asked for special features and skins on top of Android. I want stock Android and stock should be easier to update. Speaking about testing of updates: I'm sure this abstraction layer will not reduce the testing time and it will only slightly reduce the release time of new version. ~~~ ocdtrekkie There's no such thing as "stock Android" from an update distribution view. Each Android release, currently, has to be custom-fitted to each given hardware model. That is the problem being solved here, and it's not the OEM's fault, it's the architectural design of Android itself, which is changing. ~~~ nileshtrivedi It's not just Android design's fault though. ARM does not have the equivalent of Bios for hardware discovery and initialization.

That's not the way I heard it. Snoddy might have introduced the Fuzz-Tone in the 60s, but the distorted guitar sound began with Link Wray poking holes in his amplifier's speaker on "Rumble", in 1958. Not to minimize the Fuzz-Tone's impact, by any means. Just setting the record straight. ;) [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_(instrumental)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rumble_$instrumental$) ~~~ Nav_Panel Although all of the comments here have been valid and interesting, I'm gonna poke this reply thread with a Youtube link: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAqTrbuxCRI](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YAqTrbuxCRI) James Cotton - Cotton Crop Blues, on Sun Records. Recorded 1954, with a guitar solo harder/heavier than most records up until the late 60s (with a few exceptions like Dick Dale). And it features distorted power chords. Pretty much the first really heavy track out there, I figure. It's my go-to point to show people the origins of heavy, distorted guitar music. I also like to show them some Bob Wills & His Texas Playboys, as he had a lot of electrified instruments (electric guitar, electric mandolin, pedal steel) and was a big influence on Chuck Berry and Elvis. Plus I love Bob Wills. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_rock_and_roll](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Origins_of_rock_and_roll) does a pretty good job of covering the important records that led up to the explosion of rock music in the 60s.

The distorted guitar in the Beatles' "Revolution" was also an overdriven mixing board, but theirs was solid state IIRC. But if you like country-flavored fuzz, WFMU has you covered with a retrospective: [http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/11/country-fuzz- sp.html](http://blog.wfmu.org/freeform/2007/11/country-fuzz-sp.html) ------ bbx This reminds me of the famous "Phil Collins sound", which basically is a gated reverb applied on the drums, and was discovered by accident during a studio session. [http://thecollectivereview.com/hugh-padgham/hugh-padghams- ga...](http://thecollectivereview.com/hugh-padgham/hugh-padghams-gated-drum- sound.html) ~~~ tehwalrus in Music Technology lessons (yes, that was a subject for a few years in the UK, I think it's defunct now) they _loved_ giving us Phil Collins to analyse - he used all sorts of weird stuff noone else has ever bothered with (gated reverb, _reverse_ reverb, short time delay on vocals, _all in the same song,_ almost as a matter of course.) The endless repetition is why I still sit still every time I hear the intro to "in the air tonight" trying to find the beat before the vocals come in! ~~~ philjohn Ah, I remember doing Music Technology A-Level - it was a brilliant course, and it helped that our school had the funds to build a halfway decent digital recording studio. ~~~ tehwalrus I was lucky enough to attend Hurtwood House - I really wanted to do proper Music A-Level, but they didn't offer it, only music tech. In retrospect, I enjoyed it far more than I would have pure music, because I was right in the middle of my guitars-are-awesome phase - a studio was just an elaborate set of effects pedals to me. Hurtwood, anyway, had a ridiculously awesome setup - they spend much of the (substantial) school fees on Media, Theatre and music tech kit, so full digital edit suites, a huge theatre with proper cabling and sound systems, underground recording studios with proper soundproofing and _huge_ mixers for A level projects (In my day, a 24-channel soundcraft monster, plus numerous physical compressors, EQs etc - I remember a particularly expensive white valve-driven vocal preamp! Now I believe their kit is just a digital desk + Logic Pro.) When I left for Cambridge, I didn't make it onto their "wall of fame" \- because Cambridge isn't an Equity-approved drama school. Seriously. ------ S_A_P I think that its a case where a lot of people had the same idea at around the same time. As recording technology advanced in the 1950s, people realized there was some creativity to be found there. Many people attribute backwards recording to the Beatles and George Martin, but it had been done nearly a decade earlier (on purpose even) by André Popp [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Popp](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andr%C3%A9_Popp) with delirium in Hi-fi. Im sure this is not even the first instance. Certainly there is significance here with the invention of the fuzz tone, and it definitely inspired a new wave of guitar effects, and most likely effects pedals. I think it demonstrates how the electric guitar is one of the most versatile instruments ever made and has a wider sonic palette than most any other thing out there when you account for playing styles, effects, and expression. Either way this was a great read, and I love to nerd out to audio, production and recording. ------ pfraze > Snoddy explains what happened by invoking tech-talk about tube amplifiers > and insufficient wiring.

The electric guitar was invented in 1931. It then follows that guitars were being electrically amplified in 1931. Are we really to believe that it took 20-30 years for someone to turn up the gain higher than what would allow it to accurately amplify the input signal? ~~~ sehugg Tube amps distort in a very gradual way when overdriven. The "fuzz" sound is a more severe form of clipping. This is why transistor-based stomp boxes were sought out; it's actually hard to get a tube amp to clip in this exact way. ------ kevincennis It would really be borderline impossible to try to pinpoint the origins of the distorted electric guitar sound. Well before 1960, most amplifiers would begin to distort at higher gain levels. And even if you only want to count "deliberate" distortion, there's the famous example of Link Wray poking holes in his amp's speakers in '58. This is an interesting story, but it's kind of overstating the significance. Or maybe just oversimplifying the history. ~~~ ajross All amplifiers will go non-linear at high gain, so certainly the technical effect can be pushed well back into the 20's. I'm sure someone, most likely an engineer in broadcast radio, "heard" distorted audio long before this. I think it's reasonable and interesting to ask how it became art, though. ------ pessimizer Not the first distortion, but the first distortion using transistors. Didn't revolutionize guitar sound, but did give guitarists something to step on rather than a switch to flip. ------ Amadou What I took away from the article was that the patent didn't really help the "inventor." That sales didn't really start to take off until very near the end of his royalty period. But yet he was still very successful in the business with a long career. Maybe it is just confirmation bias, but it sounded a bit like his invention of the fuzzbox did more for his reputation in the industry than it did for his bank account. ------ linker3000 If that 'hack' story interests you, try this one about the amp found in a skip (dumpster) by Queen bass guitarist and electronics engineer John Deacon: [http://www.brianmay.com/brian/briannews/briannewsjun05.html](http://www.brianmay.com/brian/briannews/briannewsjun05.html) [http://www.deacyamp.com/index.php?route=information/informat...](http://www.deacyamp.com/index.php?route=information/information&information_id=19) Link2 is to the slideshow of a booklet ------ rombdn Another accidental discovery of distorted guitar sound was made by Dave Davies of the Kinks in 1964, who says he sliced is amp with a razor ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Davies#Early_years_.281963...](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dave_Davies#Early_years_.281963.E2.80.931966.29)) The Kinks - You Really Got Me : [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXWKowSK3yY](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXWKowSK3yY) ------ jolohaga Don't Worry's distortion is breathtaking in the context it's presented.

Ask HN: Am I the only one lost interest applying YC? - brokenhope Applying YC is time consuming and soul crashing at the end. More like a lottery now, what do you think? ====== snake117 In my eyes, the application is free and has a lot of benefit in just doing it. It makes you think about your idea in depth and asks questions targeting different areas. For example, you may have thought about how you are going to get a user base, but have you thought about how you are going to get the _first_ user, the _second_ , and _third_? Have you thought _that far_ in the beginning? When I looked at the application this was the question that stumped me, because I had a general plan/idea as to how to go about getting users, but not something concrete that could help me get the first few. So now I'm rethinking my strategy and have some better ideas for my app. I would still do it. The worst that will happen is that they say "no". ~~~ soneca I don't know, i have the impression that the application is more about thinking how impressive you and your achievements are so far. And I don't see any benefits in this kind of self congratulatory or self disappointment exercise. YC always said it was more about the founders than the idea, so applying is _nothing_ like doing a business model canvas or whatever. That said, I think it is still very worthy to apply if you think you are a YC-type founder. I just do not buy that applying is an exercise worthy for itself. ~~~ snake117 Personally, I don't really see it like that at all. I mean they obviously will ask you for past accomplishments so they can see if you have the aptitude, but I don't see it as an application where you solely brag about yourself. > _YC always said it was more about the founders than the idea_ I've heard this before. I do believe it's true, but only after the initial idea. They have had some cases where the founders applied with an idea, got accepted, and then found out that their initial idea wasn't going to take off. Now they are really investing in _you_ , the founder, over your idea. The stories of Optimizely ([https://soundcloud.com/akharris/startup-school-radio- ep-3-pe...](https://soundcloud.com/akharris/startup-school-radio-ep-3-pete- koomen-jeremy-yamaguchi)) and Codecademy come to mind. ------ brudgers The world of startups is ruthless. In my opinion, YC has positioned itself near its center of gravity by being a bit more ruthlessly efficient and a somewhat paradoxically a bit more humane. The humanity comes from being a more open about its process, more open about its thinking and providing a low barrier online application process. Sure, it's a lottery. But at least an introduction isn't necessary to buy a ticket. I guess the ideal situation from both YC's perspective and a founder's is when the application is mostly exhaust fumes from impassioned existing execution: when the effort to produce the content of the application is something that the founder(s) are committed to independently of the YC process. Their goal is to add momentum not overcoming inertia. YC is a popular game of chance. It's not the only one. It's targeted at a particular type of player, not everyone. Building something provides several other options. Good luck. ~~~ brokenhope Could you please define the YC type founder? ~~~ Spoom As I understand it: Graduated from or attended Stanford or an ivy league school (but preferably specifically Stanford). Proven track record of success. Under 30. Without family ties. Has impressive hacks they can mention on their application. Has a product with current traction. Has a product with unicorn upside potential ($1B possibilities). Product is very early in its lifecycle. Not a single founder (preferably two to three). Can sell the startup quickly (this is important if you make it to the interview) and address potential issues with the business plan. But remember that at this point, they probably only interview 1 in 500 applications if that, so there's a lot of chance involved as well. ------ gautamb0 IMO, if you've got your act together, it shouldn't be too difficult. The questions it poses related to your startup are ones you should be thinking about day in and day out anyways, and should have easy answers to. If you don't know how to acquire users or what your product's value proposition is, you're dead in the water anyways. The questions about your and your cofounder's accomplishments can be tricky, but in the same vein, if you can't sell yourself properly, you'll have trouble with conventional applications for college, jobs etc. anyways, let alone raising funds. On the flip side, if you can address the tough questions about your startup properly, you just might be able to do well without them, in which case, who cares whether you get accepted or not? ------ zippy786 The very premise that an idea will get you money is BS. I guess this is a cultural change and there are those who love it and those who hate it. I fall on the later and miss days where startups in garage could bring down huge corporation and it was all about building. Now, it seems most startups are part of a big corporation via funding and we mostly get to see a plethora of names ending with "ly" or an "xyz" clone. So, on paper they say stop thinking about money and yet everything becomes about it. A bit of a double standard I would say. ------ danieltillett I think it would be nice if YC would make their exclusion criteria explicit. I understand why they don't, but the pain it is causing young people who don't know any better is sad. Stop worrying about YC. Work hard (for someone else), learn everything you can, save your money, and think a lot. When you have the resources then start a bootstrapped business and never look back. ~~~ brokenhope I was thinking YC is for what you just explained in second paragraph. I do remember the SV scene where guy says "i can not guide you unless you give me something to guide" May be this startup world is a big lie! ~~~ danieltillett YC sells itself as an accelerator, not as a lottery. One of the big changes that have happened over the last few years is that the resources you need to start a tech business is much reduced to the point that one skilled person with relatively modest savings can start and build a serious business. Get on with acquiring the skills and resources you need to start without needing outside investors. ~~~ brokenhope I do wish application reflects being accelerator by filtering people in the beginning who needs incubation.

To me it sounds like you've given up already. If you don't have the fire in your belly to overcome challenges, then chances are you probably won't be very good at building a successful company. "soul crushing", "lottery" are words that people who easily give up use. Where's the fire, where's the ambition? That's one of the most important things I'm looking for in the founding team when I read applications. I want to see determination, fire in the soul, and an ambition to go out there and make amazing things happen. A great founding team can take a shitty idea and still make a success out of it, a shitty team can take a great idea and make nothing out of it. ~~~ brokenhope I wish I can show you the fire in me about my startup! If you were knew me you were seen the determination. But 20 fellowship where min 10 will be remote out of 6500, dont you agree the lottery part. Can people say rejection email from YC is not soul crashing(), unless you knew it will not work out. It's true that I gave up applying to YC but not my dreams! ~~~ denismars If you are truly determined, and will stop at nothing to build a successful startup, then I strongly encourage you to apply for YC and don't worry about your chances or treating it as a lottery. Yes, it sucks not getting into YC. I know, I didn't get in the first time I applied, it felt shitty for a day, but then I just went on with building my startup regardless. I applied again the following year and this time we did get in. I didn't give up or think about our chances once. Determination is not something you say, it's something you do, especially when the odds are stacked up against you.

Germany to ban anonymous SIM cards[German] - Bouncingsoul1 https://www.pressetext.com/de#news/20160415021 ====== arviewer And again, a new measure that will affect everybody except criminals, who pay a drug addict to register hundreds of these cards. ~~~ fab13n But then, the simple fact that you're using a SIM card bought from a known SIM-trafficking criminal makes you worthy of interest. The phone being instrumental in a first crime, it'll be easy to get a wire warrant and listen for the subsequent crimes you'll commit by using it. Most criminals aren't masterminds (and the few who are, are genrelly designed with other names, such as "politicians"); if you make it difficult to procure a phone, and a weapon, and to hide on the net, etc., many of them won't be able to assemble everything they need to commit serious crimes without getting caught. One of the reasons why gun homicides are so much less prevalent in Europe is that if a minority of hardcore, resourceful criminals can find guns through black markets, most of the random losers can't: too complicated, too expansive, some planning-ahead required... And the many losers are the ones causing the bulk of criminality, not the few hardcore criminals. ~~~ pmarreck > But then, the simple fact that you're using a SIM card bought from a known > SIM-trafficking criminal makes you worthy of interest. This is the same circular non-logic that permits officers to arrest you merely for resisting arrest. The state decides to make wearing blue illegal; I continue to because I am a strong "blue believer"; thus, merely by insisting on wearing blue, I MUST hang with other law-non-abiders (aka "criminals") and thus become a "person of interest" to law enforcement for no other reason than sticking to principles. Possessing an anonymous SIM card is no sole indicator that you are up to no good. Assuming so is problematic due to a good privacy argument by Martin Fowler: [http://martinfowler.com/articles/bothersome- privacy.html](http://martinfowler.com/articles/bothersome-privacy.html) ~~~ fab13n I'm not arguing that it's a very dangerous slope for public liberties. I believe the checks and balances against executive branches are increasingly broken in most western democracies, and that robust online privacy pushes in the very desirable direction of re-establishing a bit of that balance. I'm really concerned that most citizens don't see this as a major voting issue. However, this was neither the OP's point, nor what I was answering too. He described the measure as ineffective, because most criminals would be able and willing to acquire an illegal SIM before using a phone. I believe this to be false and I explained why. Being dangerous for liberties is not the same as being effective from police forces' PoV; actually, these two qualities are negatively correlated most of the time. ~~~ pmarreck Ah, thank you for the clarification ------ swimfar In a tangentially related topic, here's an interesting animation of location tracking of a German politician based on his phone records: [http://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte-spitz-data- retention](http://www.zeit.de/datenschutz/malte-spitz-data-retention) Malte Spitz sued to have his telephone provider hand over six months of his phone data. He gave it to Zeit Online who used it to create this record of where he had been. It's probably not too surprising to many people any more, but I still find it amazing when I watch it. And it might be interesting to people who don't realize how detailed the information is. I also think the visualisation is nice. ~~~ IvyMike If you've got an Android phone and location history is on, take a look at your own: [https://www.google.com/maps/timeline](https://www.google.com/maps/timeline) ------ titzer I live in Germany. In general Germans are very privacy conscious, due to, as others have mentioned in this thread, experiences with the Stasi. Up until recently with the refugee situation, border control hasn't been too strict, and agents generally don't berate you with questions if you possess validate documents. This pisses me off, and I wager a large portion of the German populace. Let's hope this goes down in flames. ~~~ cloudjacker A lot of germans I know are concerned about the new representation of extremist parties in the last elections. My perspective is continually that the existing government fails to represent the people, and any polar opposite party will force the existing government to compromise in their plans, and create policies that do more accurately reflect the will of the people. Exhibit a ------ 05 Thankfully because there's no roaming in the EU, there's absolutely no other way to get an unregistered SIM card to work in Germany.. ~~~ cm2187 If even if there was roaming, there isn't any internet to order foreign SIM cards online. ~~~ lukasm Get a car in Berlin, drive for 1h to the first gas station in Poland. This is yet another stupid law. No problem for bad guys, just hurting legitimate businesses.

If this happens, it will be (theoretically) impossible to own a German phone number that isn't connected to a name. The address data is supposed to be put into a searchable database allowing security officials to search for names even if the exact spelling isn't known (which appears to be a problem with current systems). For privacy purposes, they plan to put a limit on the number of records displayed in response to a search query. ~~~ phillc73 I think these checks are probably already pretty common in other parts of the world. For at least the last three or four years in Australia there is a requirement to present Photo ID before buying a SIM card. I was quite surprised by this when I tried to buy a SIM at Sydney airport a few years ago. I have no idea what the government is doing with the data nor how it is protected. At the time, I just wanted a local SIM and to be on my way. ~~~ creshal > I think these checks are probably already pretty common in other parts of > the world. Germany is a bit touchy when it comes to measures like this. After the experiences of the Nazi regime, even things like a census or introduction of a TIN met massive, years long resistance. One election gone wrong is all it takes and all those data will be used for genocide. Again. ~~~ danielbln > One election gone wrong is all it takes and all those data will be used for > genocide. Again. I like to believe we are a bit further away from genocide than one election gone awry. 71 years passed, you know. ~~~ rfrey Societies pass from peaceable to terrifying all the time, and it generally happens pretty quickly. Nobody ever seems to see it coming, although it's always obvious in hindsight to armchair analysts. It hasn't happened in one of the big powers in awhile, but 71 years isn't that long. It wouldn't be paradise the day before an election and hell the day after, but you never know what event will be pivotal. Until armchair time. ~~~ rwmj Russia being a good example. ~~~ icebraining When was the transition? I don't remember Russia ever being a peaceable society. ~~~ creshal 1989\. Most of the west expected communism to fall _eventually_ , but nobody expected it to end as it did, when it did. ------ jkot Anon SIMs are already banned in many EU countries. It does not really work, some homeless people have thousands SIMs registered on their name. Also opposition in Germany says this might be discriminatory to refugees, since some of them have no documents. ~~~ the_mitsuhiko In which ones? I have manu prepaid sims from all over Europe and the only one with a name on is an old italian one when they required it. Which i think they no longer do. ~~~ jkot I had to show ID in Czech Republic, Hungaria, Ireland and Greece. ~~~ the_mitsuhiko > Czech Republic I have a czech prepaid sim, never had to show an ID for it. > Hungaria True, ID needed there. > Ireland I had an Irish Three Sim.

If I want to text, call (VOIP), email, chat, message you over wifi I don't. Sounds very secure. ~~~ TACIXAT What I dislike about it is as more sites require sms verification, your sms number becomes a 'real id'. Given that your mobile subscriber likely sells your demographic information, it's pretty shit for privacy. A lot of services reject voip numbers for verification. ~~~ tunap This is why 'free' online services require your mobile number to activate & "protect access" to your account. Sure it works for that purpose, but more importantly, for data/digital tracking, the modern mobile has become the new tracking super-cookie to your digital ID. ~~~ reitoei > the modern mobile has become the new tracking super-cookie to your digital > ID Never a truer word spoken. ------ JazCE This is terrible news. I wanted to get a sim card for Japan, but you can only get a pocket wifi device, which isn't so bad, but not as straightforward as swapping your sim out for a local sim as i do when in the states or malaysia. ~~~ hamishforbes That's not true. You just can't get a sim card with voice/SMS capability. Foreigners can get data only SIMs no problem, most airports will sell them (often out of a vending machine) e.g. [https://t.iijmio.jp/en/](https://t.iijmio.jp/en/) ~~~ jessriedel Given VOIP, what is the rationale of making this distinction? ~~~ tangent128 So voice SIMs can't be used as throwaway cell numbers, I'd guess. ------ expertentipp An ID document and proof of address are already required in Germany when buying SIM card directly from mobile network operators (i.e. Telekom, O2, Vodafone). Apparently they plan to apply the same to resellers and virtual operators. ~~~ jeffasinger The ID requirement and address requirement were not enforced all that strictly when I was last in Germany. I bought a 10EUR SIM with a US driver's license (had left my passport in the hostel, and just wrote down the address of the hostel I was staying at). ------ Bouncingsoul1 Couldn't find link in English. German government is planning to make it impossible to buy SIM cars anonymously. ~~~ opless Link 404s ------ nikolay Those SIM cards are also banned in Bulgaria, but people find all kinds of way to buy hundreds of cards that belong to retired or mentally ill people, and others or import cards from abroad. ------ junto I didn't realise it wasn't possible. I've always been asked for ID. ~~~ aluhut You could buy those "Sets" at ALDI for example. You would still have to register it somehow. I did it once on a public phone stating fake information. Phone stopped working after few weeks. ------ madiathomas In South Africa, we have had this kind of legislation since 2003. It is called RICA(Regulation of Interception of Communications and Provision of Communication-Related Information Act). Shops aren't allowed to sell a SIM card without proof of identification. Foreigners can use their passports to register a SIM card. It takes few minutes. This was done to fight identity theft. We don't have terrorism problem here because people who used to be regarded as terrorists(freedom fighters) by former unjust, apartheid government are now in power. If your SIM card is registered under your name, no-one else will be allowed to do a SIM swap on it. Only you can do such after providing proof of identification. I feel it makes it easy for the law enforcement agencies to track down criminals if they used the SIM card to commit crime. Our government doesn't have history of invading privacy of their citizens, which makes it easier to trust them. ~~~ _djo_ >I feel it makes it easy for the law enforcement agencies to track down criminals if they used the SIM card to commit crime. No, it doesn't. SIM cards registered with false identities are available for about R50 apiece in central Johannesburg, without any need for the buyer to provide identification. The police are aware of this. >Our government doesn't have history of invading privacy of their citizens, which makes it easier to trust them. That's naive, there have been a number of stories showing just how badly the government abuses the privacy of ordinary citizens. Amongst these was a story by the Mail and Guardian showing that the government had performed over 6 million electronic intercepts in the first years that RICA was active, along with testimony from current and former intelligence officers stating that they often hid unauthorised intercepts amongst the multitude of authorised ones. There is also clear evidence that a number of journalists, including two at the Mail and Guardian, have had their phone calls, text message and internet usage intercepted by SA intelligence agencies. As for authorisation, all the state requires to perform a broad intercept is the say-so of a retired judge appointed and paid by the Minister of Justice. That means that unlike a regular court judge, whose remuneration and service depends on an independent entity in the Judicial Services Commission, the RICA judge is subservient to the Executive. The access for those intercepts is easy too, given that RICA requires that the major phone companies, internet exchanges and ISPs create real-time data feeds into the various Interception Centres managed by the Office of Interception Centres. This allows them to snoop on the internet and phone traffic of all South Africans in real-time without the need to even inform the companies providing the data. RICA's main purpose was to make it easier for the state to legally surveil as many people as it wanted to without too much in the way of opposition. It's not a good law. ~~~ madiathomas Thanks for the information. I didn't know that there is so much surveillance from our government. Snooping on journalists isn't on at all. Now I know my text messages aren't safe. ------ Ambroos Is this so bad? I remember back in 2012 when I visited Berlin I had to register my SIM with my Belgian ID and address too. It only took a few minutes, it's not that much of a hassle. At the phone shop in Belgium where I work we were required to ask for a name and address too (but didn't check ID's for prepaid cards). I doubt this will solve much terrorism-wise though. You can't expect phone shops to verify the validity of every foreign ID and address, just supplying fake data wouldn't be hard (and probably go unnoticed until it was 'too late'). ~~~ vbezhenar For me it's certainly bad. Terrorism isn't a real issue, it's an excuse for governments to take freedom from people. I want to be able to use phone and internet without being tracked by anyone. ~~~ JustSomeNobody This is exactly spot on. ------ stegosaurus The last time I visited Germany I was asked for my details in order to buy a phone, and the same to register the SIM card. I just gave invented details both times. So now it's impossible, eh? A mobile phone might be a 'new invention' that you can get away with not using, but what about transport? In my city it's been game over for years, decades even. The London Underground is the one subway in London. It uses a smart card, the cash fares are a multiple of the cost, and there are CCTV cameras everywhere anyway so you're tracked. The red buses removed cash fares and now smart card/contactless bank card are the only way of paying. The central region is plastered in car licence plate recognition cameras so you can't drive. (They exist ostensibly because there is a congestion charge for driving in the central region). You can cycle or walk but facial recognition kills that eventually. So yeah, existing in London basically means the authorities know, or have the ability to know, where you are at all times within a few metres regardless of whether you use a phone or not, it's just a matter of how integrated these databases are and whether anyone can be bothered. To me it feels a lot like, in major cities anyway, this privacy battle is just completely lost, because there are attacks on all fronts. You can have your anonymous phone, but are you wearing face paints? Do you ever drive? Do you ever take public transport? The further you go out of the city, assuming you don't have a mobile phone, I suppose there are fewer data points available. You can roam about in farmer's fields or something, no cameras there yet. Maybe the minor cities have analogue cameras, or they're turned off due to funding, or whatever. It's gone beyond something to be depressed or feel a call to action about at this point I feel - it's a bit like a lion chasing a gazelle - it just is. Fighting against this individual initiative feels good, but is it ultimately futile? The actions required in order to attempt not to fall into these databases seem to have gone from "don't use your real name online" to "don't drive a car" to "don't take trains with your bank card" to "pay cash on the bus" to... eventually it's just done, all of it's tracked, I can pay with cash at the local store but there's a digital IP camera in the corner so sooner or later they know it anyway. And the rational amongst us know that it's not about us. It means nothing that I can go 'off the grid'. What means something is that society as a whole is able to appreciate this, and I think the number of intrusions is high enough now that they simply can't. It's like asking people to go without oxygen. It's everywhere. The fight I'm really concerned with is privacy within the home, in private establishments. I want to know that conversations between me and my friends stay within that box, that private sphere. Miniaturization and propagation of technology just seems to make that an impossible goal, though. I don't want it, but I really feel like privacy is dead, we just don't fully know it yet. ~~~ stegosaurus One thing I am interested in is visualizing a journey, or an average day, and considering the global view of it. Has anyone attempted such a thing? For example, on my commute to work I might pass a security camera, tap in my smart card, pass a few more cameras, spend 50 mins on a predefined route (unless I jumped a fence which a camera would probably see me doing), etc etc. So on the left side of the 'video', you would have me walking about doing stuff, and on the right side, you can have a google-maps overlay of what's actually happening, little pop ups 'stegosaurus buys a pack of chewing gum', etc. The idea has been floating around in my head for a while, I don't know why or what I'd hope it would achieve, just seems like a fun way to illustrate the problem, if it even is a problem and not just a natural progression. ------ gedsic According to the text, they want to achieve this by forcing vendors/providers to check the ID of the buyer, even for prepaid SIMs. ------ EGreg Anonymity can be obtained in one of two ways: 1) Building up a tree of accounts from anonymous services like mailinator and anonymously bought sim cards and phones 2) Hijacking random people's equipment in order to do 1. By banning anonymous services, people will have to turn to temporary hijacking to achieve the same ends. ------ harperlee I know for a fact that there are big banks that don't even have the ID of lots of clients. I'm skeptical of the speed that telcos will apply on the remediation of all these clients. I actually believe the existing clients might stay undocumented forever. ------ Kequc I didn't even know you could get an anonymous sim. The gauntlet of questions I was asked and the paperwork the salesman thankfully filled out for me, for a prepaid sim, was dizzying. Obviously if I knew I could have just bought one off a shelf I would have. ------ gozur88 When I was vacationing in Germany years ago I couldn't get a prepaid phone or a sim without having a German address. Did they make it easier only to now make it more difficult? ------ orbitingpluto Did I read that right? Complete address required? First you get rid of the public payphones, then you require a valid address for a mobile. Poof! The homeless truly can disappear. ------ ChrisArchitect as a tourist, first priority on the ground in a new country is to get a data connection. I had more difficulty in Germany than other EU countries visited around the same time. Despite promise of a handful of prepaid sim's available everywhere, activation was a roadblock because no local credit card. Eventually found my way to an O2 store where they used their own _store address_ to activate for me and it was all good ~~~ 05 There's a Wiki specifically for that purpose [1]. I had minimal problems buying Fyve (Vodafone MVNO) SIM cards two years ago, activated at the point of purchase if I remember correctly. I had to cut them to Nano SIM size myself though..

Facebook to Open Startup Garage at Station F in Paris - programLyrique https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/17/facebook-to-open-startup-garage-at-station-f-in-paris/ ====== muse900 I don't know why, it might just be me, am thinking of startups as a bad thing. If I ever decide to build my own app or solution or something I wouldn't go for a startup setup. I'd set it up as an actual business, make profit and expand, I wouldn't wait for some investors coming in throwing money at me, I don't get why people in tech cant see that. Just because people that built uber etc became rich out of that doesn't mean that the percentage of the startups that actually make it and their creators become comfortable enough is more than lets say 5%. Chances are you'd win the lottery easier than starting a startup. So dear fb and google and whoever, build business garages where people go with an idea and they've been given a cheaper way to expand their business on their own and see if they can actually make it, rather than trying to find the best ideas to invest for yourselves, that would help. ~~~ espadrine When creating a business, there is this old choice between _bootstrapping_ and _venture capitalists_. The former forces you to squeeze every penny into gaining traction in the market, as becoming profitable is hard, and your cash reserves limit your ability to advertise. The latter gives you the means to grow very fast and to gain experience from people who have played the game countless times, but it encourages reaching an exit (either by selling the company or through an IPO). It sounds like you favor bootstrapping. > _build business garages where people go with an idea and they 've been given > a cheaper way to expand their business on their own and see if they can > actually make it_ That was the idea behind Kima15 [0], which was co-created by Xavier Niel, who is also behind Station F.

Hence the "up", from the "start". Otherwise it's just a regular small business (most countries and stats institutes would have a specific name for these >10 employees companies, like "very small" business or whatever). There's confusion, imho, when we call any new company a startup just because it's operating in the tech industry (you can totally be a startup in any industry, so long as it has the potential to scale up dramatically). You can be a regular small business even in tech, you can be a startup-er in food. This is a 2x2 matrix. Also, funding can take many forms, e.g. some startups being groomed by corporations (I know HP did that sometimes, with former employees). You still get the big money and obligations, and you already have one major future client; but nowhere near the same level of nonsensical buzzing. ------ irmbrady Nice timing for the French Tech Visa: [http://visa.lafrenchtech.com](http://visa.lafrenchtech.com) Discussion: [https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13410510](https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13410510) ~~~ mavdi and Brexit ~~~ gourou and the Presidential Campaign [https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/17/frances- presidential-front...](https://techcrunch.com/2017/01/17/frances-presidential- front-runner-francois-fillon-on-french-startups/) ~~~ mavdi And Donald Trump too I guess... ------ pokemon-trainer "startup garage" _looks at photos of spacious, high end, neomodern office architecture_ we've come a long way since hp ~~~ paganel > > [https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/photo-j...](https://tctechcrunch2011.files.wordpress.com/2017/01/photo- > jan-17-8-45-31-am.jpg) Those containers look like worse than prison cells.

The last time I looked at this a few months ago their web site seemed to suggest that they were looking for startups to rent space, but not individuals. Details are lacking, but a quick comparison with other coworking spaces in Paris suggests that this is 100-200 EUR cheaper per month. ------ chinathrow Looking at the pictures of Station F, all I see is noise.

It'll feel kinda strange. Like your parents coming to visit you at college. ~~~ lostboys67 Protest flyers what are they protesting about? ~~~ hocuspocus Living in Berlin I'd guess that people are protesting about the gentrification. ~~~ bogomipz And this is part of what makes Berlin and specifically Kreuzberg charming and unique. Google already has an office in Mitte where it is not out of place. I really don't like the ideas of these giants co-opting start-up spaces. Once companies have reached the FB and Google size they are kind of the antithesis of start ups. This just feel like they are building "right of first refusal acquisition" spaces. I realize this sounds curmudgeonly but I feel like their money and influence in these spaces encourages building acquisition targets rather than encouraging people to build their own Google and Facebooks. ------ welanes While considering a move to France, one of most interesting organisations I stumbled across was The Family ([https://www.thefamily.co](https://www.thefamily.co)).

Algolia and Crisp.im passed through their doors, and they seem to be doing well. ~~~ bsaul Just for info, they're not an incubator in the traditionnal sense. You can't work at their (gorgeous) office. You can see it more like a "club", for doing networking. You also have access to some ressources, but most of their "startup spirit" talks you'll find are mostly translations of american books or talks from valley people, not really first hand experience. They do provide you with good trainings on fund raising, but you may want to ask for the detail of everything you're going to bave access to before you agree to give them 1 to 3% of your company. Also, to my knowledge, the only successfull startup they have was "save", which is a fantastic company lead by very nice people, but it unfortunately filed for bankruptcy a few months ago, after having had a too intense growth. At the moment, i'd say the biggest problem with every single incubator i know is the lack of unicorns coming out of them. Most people giving advices haven't created anything big themselves, and the few people who created really big companies ( criteo and blablacar for the last 10 years) don't go in those ecosystems to mentor newcomers. ------ julio83 Thank you X.Niel for 42 and station F. ------ cracker_jacks Are startups also required to provide 5 weeks of paid vacation + public holidays? Also, are there limits on the number of hours worked per week? I'm all for workers benefits, but I don't see how a startup with limited funding could afford those benefits to their employees. ~~~ SamReidHughes I'd compare the costs of vacation, short work days, to the cost of a Bay Area salary. ~~~ cracker_jacks But the salaries for Bay Area startups are usually much lower than the standard tech companies like FB and Google. Startups make up for the difference by distributing equity (which could potentially be worth more in the long run, but could also be worthless). ~~~ hocuspocus Even assuming worthless equity, for the cost of one employee in SF you can hire two in Paris. Startups in France get several kinds of tax breaks. Also, many founders get started while on unemployment benefits. ~~~ cracker_jacks What are you thinking the salary of early stage startups are in the Bay Area? I really doubt the ratio is 2:1 compared to Paris. ~~~ hocuspocus Gross salary would be more like 3:1. Real cost to the employer at least 2:1. I just opened AngelList to search for junior developer positions at seed-stage startups and it confirms the ratio. SF: 80-120k Paris: 30-45k ------ hn_news If start up becomes successful, Will Facebook own part of the equity in this start up? As a founder, why would i want to give up equity to Facebook?

Facebook algorithm found to actively promote holocaust denial - elsewhen https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/16/facebook-algorithm-found-to-actively-promote-holocaust-denial ====== lipstone Surely the tech-minded folks of HN understand that this doesn't actually occur under any reasonable definition of "active." This article is a clear example of how the media twists reality due to their lack of understanding and/or maliciousness. ~~~ seesawtron >> Researchers found that when they followed public Facebook pages containing Holocaust denial content, Facebook recommended further similar content. I can understand that being precise is crucial when making statements like this but instead of getting hung up on that detail, the tech-minded folks of HN would also understand the main argument about the perinicious effect of such feedback of "similar content" reinforcing the false beliefs and conspiracies. ~~~ ithkuil Indeed, often technically correct is not the best kind of correct. ------ rbecker "Actively promote" meaning being treated no different than any other content, unless the article omitted some information about that study. Perhaps technically true, but still a highly misleading title. ------ chillacy This is the full headline: > Facebook algorithm found to 'actively promote' Holocaust denial > Similar > content is also readily accessible across Twitter, YouTube and Reddit, says > UK-based counter-extremist group Reminds me of back when Foxconn was the big media story and every article lead with "Apple uses child labor" (Subtitle: also every other company uses Foxconn too) ------ throwawaysea What does “actively promote” mean here? The article doesn’t seem to have evidence of this. It seems more like “we found a nonzero amount of holocaust denial content”. ~~~ uniqueid How much holocaust denial content should one _expect_ to find? The internet has increasingly normalized nonsense. I'll bet plenty of people, post- the advent of social media, would think 25%, for example, would be perfectly reasonable. How much would one find in the pages of a newspaper, transcripts of a public conference, or publications in a university library? Would it even be 1%? If this new normal on social media is enlightening people and making the world a better place, one would expect to see it reflected in the world around us. I don't think the general consensus is that society has been making big strides in a good direction, over the past decade. ~~~ rbecker Those are some fine rhetorical questions, but they don't shed any light on whether "actively promote" is grossly misleading in this case. ~~~ uniqueid Okay, I can't go all the way, and describe it as _grossly_ misleading, but " _actively_ promote" uses too strong an adverb. So, I'll concede that, strictly speaking, the headline _is_ misleading. On the other hand, if a reader gets the impression that Zuckerberg and the other social media CEOs, _to the extent that they can get away with it_ , signal-boost holocaust denial (and propaganda from hate-groups, in general), recent history speaks for itself. So if someone asked me to rewrite the title, I would go with " _passively_ promote." ------ Ckfu How many HN authors are masons? ------ aaron695 They wanted a shitty paper on holocaust denial that the trailer park trash can froth at the mouth about how evil it all is and the newspaper got it's clicks. Pretty good AI, delivered exactly what everyone wanted. ------ slim they typed "Holocaust" in fb search box and got suggestions for pages denying Holocaust. So they concluded that Facebook alogorithms promote Holocaust denial but did not check if there is actually any reachable alternative content for the keyword "Holocaust". I don't think facebook users created any educative pages about Holocaust.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

Spark Labs Raises $4.9M to Help Engineers Make Their Devices Smart - jwcooper http://blogs.wsj.com/venturecapital/2014/07/08/spark-io-raises-4-9-million-to-help-engineers-make-their-devices-smart/ ====== 100k Congrats to the Spark team. Sad to see the Twin Cities lose another IoT startup, but I hope this positions them in the best possible way for success. Welcome to San Francisco! ~~~ middleca A lot of us are staying in the Twin Cities, and we're hiring! ([https://www.spark.io/jobs](https://www.spark.io/jobs)), we're looking for great engineers, and we support remote work as well. :) ------ vicngtor Well deserved. Their chip is practically the only chip that works and can be easily integrated into arduino boards. ~~~ bravo22 They don't make a chip. They use a CC3000 from TI -- which costs about $10 -- and provide a thing wrapper around TI's own provided driver. You can take the same CC3000 from TI -- around $11 in low volume -- put it on your board and write your software with their driver. They basically make a good dev board but for anyone wanting to make anything in a volume beyond 1K they'd use the TI module directly. You don't put a dev board in an end product. I fail to see how their business is going to scale beyond this. ~~~ hashmymustache They recognize that it's more for prototyping and wouldn't be used at a production level: "We use industry-standard components — chosen to be powerful, inexpensive, and widely available — that can be designed directly onto your own circuit board, bringing your Bill of Materials down for volume production." ~~~ bravo22 Right, I agree. That is what I gathered before but the article and their new splash page makes it seem like they want to supply this to large device makers (i.e. anyone not building things out of their basement) and I don't see how this could work. They can't make money on the hardware, because TI makes the chip and provides the reference design and drivers for free. Spark boards are all OSHW anyways. You'd spend the extra week and integrate the TI part into your device anyways. Their cloud stack is open source, and is basically a transport. As the device maker you'd still have to write the cloud app that gathers data from different points and sends commands to the end unit. Beyond the dev kits I'm having a hard time seeing the revenue stream and/or value proposition. What am I missing? Maybe guys from Spark want to chime in? If I use Spark to prototype, is there a product they are offering me that I would need to pay for at scale? ~~~ middleca Hi bravo22, I'm from Spark, and I can try to answer! :) With more than 20,000 units in the field, the Spark community is the largest consumer of the CC3000 module, so you get the benefits of driver testing and patches, and great community support. Large businesses could certainly use the open source modules and run with them, but if you're a large business you generally want to pay for support and licensing. Next for us is building a suite of fleet management tools and controls that larger companies want that also benefit hobbyists. If you're a business or a maker, using the Spark Cloud saves you from having to worry about building your own protocol, dealing with socket programming, spinning up servers, as well as worrying about encryption on microcontrollers, or wearing a pager. Having the source code available means you can keep your private things private by not going over the internet, as well as building things we haven't thought of yet. Thanks! David ~~~ bravo22 Thank David. Thanks so much for answering! Couple of questions: \- Are you always sticking w/ CC3000 or are there other WiFi modules you intend to support? My main question, might have gone unnoticed in my long post... Is there a service of yours that I need to pay for to get these features, or do I get the benefits you outlined above by running your firmware and deploying your open source cloud code on my system? Do you have plans to go closed source in the future? ~~~ zsupalla Zach here, also from Spark. We're definitely working on next-gen hardware now, haven't selected a final chipset yet. Our hosted cloud is somewhat different from the open source version, and the differences will grow over time. As an open source company, the question always comes to "how do we make money?" Our open source thesis is to give away basic technology and sell advanced technology. Right now the biggest differences between our hosted cloud and the open source version is scalability; our system is designed to scale horizontally whereas the open source one is a single instance (although it could, of course, be modified). We are still deciding which features that are still in development will be open sourced, and which won't. We've learned from other for-profit open source companies (like MongoDB, for instance), that even after being on the market for years they're still trying to figure out which features to give away and which to sell. ~~~ bravo22 Thanks for answering Zach! Your answer certainly helps make it more clear. To use your feature rich cloud, would one have to use your spark core board or one can roll own CC3000 based board + your open source firmware but pay you and have it talk to your closed cloud for scale? When is your plan to announce pricing for this feature rich cloud? ~~~ jenesaisdiq You've got it- you can build your own board using our reference design and pay us a minor fee to use our lovely cloud. Pricing isn't public yet, but we can discuss it privately if you have a need. Thanks! ------ lisper Sounds a lot like [http://electricimp.com](http://electricimp.com) ~~~ jasonlaramburu It's more expensive than imp but has a smoother wifi pairing process. ~~~ jenesaisdiq And a lot cheaper than Imp at scale- <$15 per device in hardware at scale. ------ tricky Do these guys have any patents on their tech? ~~~ bravo22 Their product is open source: board design, firmware, and cloud software.

Cloudera and Hortonworks merger means Hadoop’s influence is declining - wenc https://venturebeat.com/2018/10/06/cloudera-and-hortonworks-merger-means-hadoops-influence-is-declining/ ====== philippeback The move makes sense. Cloudera has cash on board and Hortonworks has excellent technical chops and associated vision. The offering is not Hadoop only. Druid can be deployed with ease and Superset can hook into it nicely, all with proper metrics captured. Ambari is a wonderful single pane of glass to manage it all nicely. YARN is really good at managing capacity leveraging cgroups. Spark is one thing but far from the only thing. E.g.Flink. Hadoop3 introduces Docker containers right into YARN. It is all driven with JVM components, so security actually works. For all its limitations HDFS also has pretty cool powers. HBase is also a beast for a couple use cases. It is a versatile platform and is evolving well. Of course the learning curve is pretty steep. But payoffs are huge. ------ MrPowers This article makes it sound like Spark needs to be run on Hadoop clusters and that's not the case. Spark can be run on object stores like AWS S3 and Azure. I also don't agree with the author's assertion that Spark is "Scala centric". Yes, Spark is written in Scala, but PySpark is definitely a first class citizen. Databricks maintains a MLFlow project to make it easy to use Python with Spark: [https://databricks.com/blog/2018/06/05/introducing-mlflow- an...](https://databricks.com/blog/2018/06/05/introducing-mlflow-an-open- source-machine-learning-platform.html) ~~~ wenc > I also don't agree with the author's assertion that Spark is "Scala > centric". Yes, Spark is written in Scala, but PySpark is definitely a first > class citizen. To be fair, prior to Spark Dataframes (i.e. the days of pure RDDs), the only way to get performance out of Spark was to write Scala code. The serialization overhead of PySpark precluded it from large-scale data engineering workloads. Most companies rewrote their PySpark code in Scala for production. Now that we have Spark dataframes, PySpark performance is mostly on-par with ScalaSpark for many SQL-amenable operations. And with Apache Arrow in-memory support on Spark >2.3, the Python serialization overhead problem goes away. But Spark is still to some extent Scala-centric. The documentation is trilingual, but there is still a distinct Scala-first culture. ------ monksy Thank goodness on Hadoop's influence. Hadoop has mostly been about 1 time transformations with large machines. It's doesn't exactly produce an efficent way to do a process, nor does it make it easy to do that. (The amount of speciality integration for your app is a bit large). (Also the move in spark was needed.. but it's still behind the times with "microbatching") ------ wenc To me, Hadoop was primarily designed around large-scale semi-structured data like logs; this plays to its strengths of scale and schema-on-read. If I'm not mistaken, Hadoop was created at Google to handle weblogs (side note: in 2014, Google announced that Hadoop was no longer being used internally) Enterprise data however is primarily structured and relational, which is more suited to handling in a database-like system. Hadoop was never designed for this use case. Scalable cloud databases like Redshift, Aurora etc. always seemed to be a better fit. Cloudera created technology like Impala and Kudu to address this but not sure about the uptake there. ~~~ atombender No, Hadoop was started at Yahoo! by Doug Cutting, the original author of Lucene. Hadoop was based on Google's published papers on the Google File System (GFS) and MapReduce. The later project, HBase, was a direct carbon copy of Google's BigTable paper. By the time Hadoop reached maturity, Google had mostly moved onto newer technologies such as Colossus and Megastore, and mostly doesn't use MapReduce anymore. To my knowledge, Google has never used Hadoop internally, although you can lease a hosted version of Hadoop on Google Cloud Platform. ~~~ wenc You're quite right. It was GFS and MapReduce that was invented by Google, and Doug Cutting based it on those technologies. ------ crb002 On demand cloud compute and storage killed the Hadoop beast. Python/C++ tooling is slowly gaining marketshare back to the HPC glory days where MPI was king. Once IBM mainframe, the king of CAp, is put in a major AWS/MS/GCP data center expect them to gobble Cloudera. Or Principal corporation goes nuts and starts taking on Guidewire. ------ bsg75 > The deal signifies that the Hadoop market could no longer sustain two big > competitors.

Point-Free style: What is it good for? - bkudria http://buffered.io/2009/06/27/point-free-style-what-is-it-good-for/ ====== mbrubeck I just like point-free style because it leaves me with fewer things to name, and fewer choices to make. Placeholder names like "xs" are just noise. The "x" has no meaning here: double x = 2x So I'd rather write it like this: double = (2) Similarly, there's no need to introduce an arbitrary name like "input" or "numbers" for this function (part of a Project Euler solution): highestProduct = maximum . map product . concat . map (groupsOf 4) ------ hristov First I would like to say that I am only learning Haskell, and have done nothing but toy programs thus far. But the point free style is something that I really do not like about Haskell. It makes code much more complicated for the dubious benefit of saving a couple of keystrokes. For example, take the code from the article: This is without point free style: sum xs = foldr (+) 0 xs And this is with: sum = foldr (+) 0 You have saved a total of 4 keystrokes. And made that line of code look really weird and hard to understand. Thus, now when you look at code you cannot say at first glance how many arguments a function takes. The second line of code looks like sum takes 0 arguments. But you have to look more carefully at the definition of the function, and see that it uses foldr, and know that foldr takes three arguments, but here only two are defined, and then you figure out that someone is using point free style and then you figure out that sum, actually takes one argument that must be a list. And this of course, is a simple example. Here we have a big clue in that the function is defined with zero arguments, and most functions take at least one argument, therefore the function probably uses the point free notation. But for a more complex and longer function, the point free style can very easily confuse someone reading the code. So yeah, I think point free style is one of these annoying features of Haskell, that seem to be put in so that users of Haskell can pat themselves on the back and feel like they are very smart. But in the end it does not add much to the language and makes it much less accessible. ~~~ mbrubeck Once you're used to the idiom, I find point-free style at least as easy to read as pointful. _"Thus, now when you look at code you cannot say at first glance how many arguments a function takes."_ In Haskell I generally look at the type signature - explicit or inferred - to see what a functions' arguments are. I find this style is actually more beneficial for larger-scale examples than smaller ones. For example, if you have a memoizing combinator, most people would not find it odd at all to write: fast_factorial = memoize factorial instead of: fast_factorial xs = (memoize factorial) xs The key to point-free style is to think of all functions as potentially acting like combinators, and being modifiers for other functions. ~~~ hristov And where do you find the inferred type signature? ~~~ mbrubeck I load the module into ghci and use the :t command. But I mostly do this during development. This is the big reason that production-quality code should generally have explicit type signatures for top-level functions. ~~~ hristov Well this kind of proves my point. If you have to compile code simply to read it, then the language is not very easy to read. What if you are reading the code in order to debug it and the code cant compile? And I know code should have type signatures but it often doesn't. ~~~ jrockway _And I know code should have type signatures but it often doesn't._ Often? All the libraries in GHC have type signatures. All the libraries on HackageDB I've used have type signatures. All the apps I've written have type signatures. Even most Haskell blog posts (and wiki pages) use type signatures. I think you should just peruse some production Haskell code, and try writing a bit of your own. If you set aside your belief that everyone is out to confuse you for a few minutes, I think you'll find that most Haskell is quite readable, and quite writable. You'll see how other people compose functions, what the idioms are, and then stuff like "sum = foldr1 (+)" won't confuse you anymore. Instead, I think you'll see how you can read and write code more quickly, and how to understand your program in terms of function application instead of in terms of passing around boxes that hold data. ------ camccann From the comments, an alternate form of the (.) . (.) operator: foo = fmap fmap fmap Nothing says "welcome to Haskell!" like an inscrutable pile of fmaps. Oh, pointless style, how beautiful you are. In all seriousness, though, there are a lot of cases where a pointless--er, "point-free"--style is actually clearer and more comprehensible, typically when you're writing functions intended to be used as combinators. Similarly, applicative style sometimes looks a lot cleaner than using do notation. ------ Tichy I am not convinced (.^) = (.) . (.) is supposed to be more readable than (.^) f g x y = f (g x y) ? I don't know Haskell, but even so. I think there might be exercises with a better benefit. ~~~ aerique The former is definitely more suggestive. ~~~ Tichy Programming in balance with Yin and Yan :-) ------ how_gauche I often use this algorithm: 1\. write a function in pointed style 2\. run it through pointfree 3\. is it shorter/easier to read? then use pointfree's definition This is really a personal shortcoming though because after 20+ years of writing code in "standard" languages my brain is sufficiently warped that I'm not always able to think of the short and clear solution without "grinding the gears".	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Ask HN: If ideas are so cheap, why can't we think of better ones? - entangld ====== mechanical_fish You don't understand. Ideas are cheap the way DNA is cheap. It is extremely inexpensive to generate one million different strands of DNA. What is expensive is to test them all and figure out which one, if any, might code for something worth having. If you think for a while, you'll very likely think of a better idea. The problem is that you'll also think of 100 or 1000 not-so-good ideas at the same time, and you have to decide which ideas to keep and which to throw away, and you'll probably guess wrong. It's the _testing_ that is not cheap, and that we wish to make as cheap as possible. ------ lichichen I honestly want to challenge you to define the term "better." Is "better" measured by the degree of "feasible execution," "profitability," "match to consumer needs" or a combination of those? Other than that, here are my thoughts 1) Ideas aren't cheap. Not good/executable ideas anyways. Those ideas are sparked by work, experience, time invested into research, fostering a good environment that encourages ideas/competition. I'm sure you can ask a 5 year old on his ideas on how to end world hunger and compare that of someone who is 30 or 40 something. Both ideas were cheap, but who's is better? 2) As mentioned by someone else here, not all ideas are executable or worth executing. 3) Personality traits. Not everyone find pleasure in thinking, have you had a friend who brushed you off every time you bring up an ideas? In addition there are many internal and external factors that help create or hinder ideas such as level of conformity at the work place, tolerance to risk etc ~~~ entangld I think all three of those criteria are good. I'd rank them by: customer needs>feasibility>profitability Agreed on your other thoughts as well. ------ hitechsites I really do not buy the oft repeated maxim that ideas are cheap. I think one reason for this thinking is because unless an idea is converted to an actual product there is no way to tell if it is good. But just because we can't judge whether an idea is good - does not mean ideas are cheap and worthless either. I think this notion was made popular by investors and VCs, and it makes sense in their cases - as they make nothing from mere ideas - only from products that sell. Outside the domain of startups and VCs, ideas are very precious indeed - just ask scientists who work on ideas that can create brand new industries. Quantum physics was just an idea with equations - but we would not have any of modern electronics, lasers, computers or mobile phones. Which brings us to tbe second part of your question - why can't we think of better ones. My theory is that the human brain is wired to perceive what exists and act on it, whereas innovation requires perceving what does not exist and seeing the gaps. It is much harder for the human brain to focus on this. Which is why it is easier to improve upon what already exists than it is to create a brand new product. ------ joeld42 I like to think if it as a multiplier: idea * execution = outcome idea * 0 = 0. "Ideas are worthless without execution" 1 * execution = execution. "with hard work, any decent idea can succeed" 100 * execution = something amazing. "great ideas can change the world" ~~~ bluekeybox If that is correct, it follows that one should seek out the best people to work with, no matter whether one is more of an engineer or a visionary. ~~~ JoeCortopassi Just be prepared to make up for what they lack. i.e. If they are a visionary, you better be prepared to work. ------ imechura When you are focused on "the idea" you cannot see the forest for the trees. When you are more familiar with the execution and what it takes to go from idea to successful product you realize that the idea is a smaller part of the equation then you originally thought. Do you think that great companies like Netflix, Amazon or facebook are really doing anything revolutionary from the idea stand point? A movie rental chain, a department store and party line. They are simple everyday things that are worked upon very hard for years until they finally become a success. I am in the opposite position. So many "good enough" ideas that is is hard to choose which one I want to be married to for the next 3 to 5 years. ------ schmittz Who says we haven't? We're blissfully unaware of most of human thought because it isn't acted on in such as way that we become aware of its existence. YC is a great example of this, to a certain extent PG started it because there was no possible way for him to carry out every idea he came up with, so he created an environment where he can involve himself with other people who have ideas that he's had or likes. I'm not entirely behind the "ideas are worthless" camp. They're worth something (after all, you do have to execute on SOMETHING that had to be thought of prior to), but most of a company's value is still derived from the fruition of its core idea. ------ entangld This is a reaction to my current frustration. My ex-partner said ideas are only worth 2%, technology 5% and implementation 93%. But he wants to know if he take the idea and continue to work on it on his own. So I said _"If ideas are so cheap, why don't you think of a better one?"_ <crickets> It's getting to the point where people say it without thinking. ~~~ jerf "Ideas are worthless" means that having some idea about how to make some money is cheap and worthless. It has to be instantiated quite laboriously with a lot of additional effort and lots of other ideas supporting the original core one. You can tell this happens because ten startups may start with the same "idea" but end up with completely different concrete solutions on different platforms with different tradeoffs and each taking ten man-years of work to create. It's in those ten man-years of work that the value lies, not the core idea. As proof that is where the value lies, many solid businesses exist that have done the work but haven't even hardly got an "idea" the way startup founders think of it, just exploited opportunity. What's the "big idea" behind a graphics design firm, or a plumbing company? On the other hand, try making money with an uninstantiated idea. Where the value comes from is pretty clear. Now that you've presumably done some of that work, the core original idea remains as useless as ever, but the work done around it to get it some distance down the path to instantiation is not. A new idea would be starting back at square one, and once again be, yes, worthless. I doubt that he really wants the idea so much as he wants to move forward with the instantiation. (Ideas with no instantiation effort put into them are worthless because basically supply is effectively infinite.) ~~~ entangld An idea is a direction. If he wants to move forward with the instantiation he's moving forward in the same direction. That's like saying paraphrasing isn't plagiarism. It's not the same if it's different. _You can tell this happens because ten startups may start with the same "idea" but end up with completely different concrete solutions_ Airbnb is an idea. If you do it a little bit different it's still the same idea. The value lies in what the customer receives, not the man-years. If you've built something with large customer benefit then you've done something. But the customer benefit comes from the direction the original idea took. _Now that you've presumably done some of that work, the core original idea remains as useless as ever_ If the idea has changed completely then yes, but that's probably a different idea. Google search is still Google search even though they've added countless man-years to it. He wants the idea because he wants to solve the same customer problem in the same way. Especially if the original idea unveiled a problem that was ignored. An idea can often identify a problem. No amount of implementation can do that. ~~~ jerf "An idea is a direction." You're making my point for me. Directions are cheap. It's the road traveled that matters. "The value lies in what the customer receives, not the man-years." OK. Build your AirBnB clone in two man-hours. Go! ~~~ entangld This is the problem with metaphors. They get misunderstood and misapplied. I didn't mean a general direction, I meant a specific one. Like a telephone is different from a cellphone. Landlines have only so much potential. You may attribute cellphones to implementation, but someone had to figure it out. How many millions of man hours would make AirBnB worth more than Groupon? Not the best example, but I'm sure you get it. Ideas have limits, but so does implementation. ------ jp Because how is something better when "better" is just an adjective and not something you created, tested and executed ? Going to the moon is an idea, executing the moon landing is a million ideas all put together in the correct order. Different is not always better. One bad idea, 999 999 good ideas and then you explode and die, consistently. ------ adrianwaj Creativity is free, but having mental models, abilities to express, experience and domain knowledge is expensive and hard-won. If you don't have the latter, the former (creativity) will not produce good ideas that fit and evolve the latter, to result in success and wealth. Not everyone has the former, and not everyone has the latter. ------ Jarred I think the reason why people consider ideas cheap is if it's just an idea. If the idea is the solution to the problem then that's what makes it a good one. Then again that's just my interpretation of the large amount of seemingly-good startup advice on the internet. It also just makes sense. ------ petervandijck I think what they mean is that the _initial_ idea is cheap. The idea after much execution is expensive. ------ rhizome I think part of it is a bias against solo founders. We simply don't hear of many solo successes, but I'd venture that's where a lot of idea-mill work happens.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

The $200+ billion legal industry is still stuck in the 20th century: paper-based, error-prone and slow. With rates averaging $300 / hour, only 15% of Americans with serious legal problems even seek the help of a lawyer. For everyday issues like bogus cable bills, fewer than 1 in 1,000,000 of us seek justice, even though monopolists like Comcast rank in the 0th percentile for customer satisfaction. Class actions used to provide the necessary scale to combat certain widespread frauds, but over the past 5 years, the Supreme Court has allowed businesses to eliminate them. The technical challenges are hard, ranging from automating the monitoring of corporate misconduct to crafting delightful user flows to building the leading database of outcomes in consumer disputes.

We're pretty open about what sort of candidates we'd consider: we're looking for good engineers to join the team, and are willing to accept that that means that we might have to spend some time and effort training them up in the technologies we use, etc. I think that's a great attitude for us to have.

It’s incredibly difficult for developers to get their products into schools, and it’s even harder for them to scale. School districts spend tons of money on learning applications, but they have no way of knowing if students are even using the apps they’re purchasing. Teachers know there’s great software out there, but relatively simple challenges like getting 30 students logged in at once make using it impossible. At Clever, we’re working to change all that. We provide schools with a free API and single sign-on solution that makes using educational apps a breeze. We’ve grown fast: after four years, half of all schools in the US (68,000 schools) are using our platform. Our goals are much bigger than that, though. We want to be two things: -a single place where schools can easily integrate, manage and analyze all the software they’re using, and -a single identity that students can use to see everything they’ve learned across multiple apps. We’re a team of just over 100 (40 engineers) based in downtown SF, and we’re looking for engineers who enjoy working in (or would enjoy learning) Golang, Node and React. More generally, we want people who are sharp, adaptable, and passionate about improving the way education works for everyone.

By facilitating two-way conversations, Hustle’s clients maintain genuine, personal dialogues with hundreds, thousands, and even millions of people. Our clients include Planned Parenthood, Human Rights Campaign, and Our Revolution (Bernie Sanders' organization). It's 48 times more effective than making phone calls. As a product engineer, you will be working on Hustle's core web and mobile products: our web and mobile text messaging apps, our campaign administrative interface, and our message delivery back end. Product engineering at Hustle is unique in that we do not have mobile, front-end and backend specialists. Instead engineers are empowered to develop and ship features in their entirety covering the whole stack. This feature of product development is enabled by Hustle's particular technology choices: the use of JavaScript, React, React Native and Node.js through out the stack. It's a stack that heavily rewards generalists that just want to ship things. It also makes for a very dynamic working environment: form a temporary team for a larger project where you decide to focus on shipping a polished mobile frontend and for the next project form another temporary team where you would focus on delivering a humming backend.

Thanks! ~~~ asidiali From looking at postings so far, my guess is it's not natural for the submitters to remember or accurately list the job params as you've laid out. My suggestion would be, if you're not already doing/working on it, to start doing some basic NLP around the specific verbiage used for each param, and then you can organize by match instead of by position in the list. I'm betting you'll see some nice results without much optimization even since each expected param argument is pretty different from one another. Just an idea, best of luck! ~~~ xando I agree. I'm talking to HN people, they are in loop as well here. There is a chance that they will suggest something or we will adopt the format that I'm posting. Always would be good to have some feedback before too not miss to many things later. As for the NLP, I'm doing it (kind of and I've tested many things including Stanford NER lib and external APIs) Having said that, If your format wont comply, no worries. I will do my best to find the location, tag the job if it's remote or intern. Although to get the rest like company name, positions names the mission is hard here. ~~~ asidiali I hear ya.

This means that there's still a lot of opportunity and green-field work ahead of us. The position could be described as a Sr. Data Scientist or Machine Learning Engineer. We work with billions of records per day and small hundreds of thousands of (messy!) features. We primarily use Scala/Spark and Python, but we employ R, Ruby, plain old SQL and other tools on a regular basis. We'd like to find someone familiar with Bayesian systems, Random Forest and other classification. Experience in ad-tech, e-commerce or online retail is a plus, but we strongly favor hiring someone with the right qualities that transcend mere familiarity. More than anything we value sound judgement. It's great if you have loads of tools in in your tool belt, but you really have to know when it makes sense to use them. As you get involved with research or optimization work, we want to have confidence that you'll have the right intuition about what questions to pursue and what questions to defer. With our high transaction volume, hundreds of unique models in production and hundreds of thousands of potential features, discernment is an essential virtue. We'll always have 5x more questions and curiosities than we'll have time to chase down. We're looking for that person whose judgement is guided by experience possesses a knack for uncovering valuable, actionable insights.

The goal here is to put every academic pdf ever written on the internet, available for free. \- The reproducibility crisis. It has emerged over the last few years that 65-90% of the scientific literature is not reproducible. What this means is that if you try to reproduce the experiments described in a paper, 65-90% of the time you will not get the same findings. This is known as "the reproducibility crisis" With regard to open access, Academia allows academics to upload papers to Academia, and make them freely available. Academics have uploaded about 16 million pdfs to Academia.edu, and upload about 1 million a month. About 30 million people come to Academia each month to access and share papers. With regard to reproducibility, we think the way to solve the reproducibility crisis is to build a new peer review system that (a) crowd-sources peer review from the academic community and (b) provides credit to material that journals don't publish (data-sets, code, replications, failed replications). Academia has built a recommendation system which is the basis of our approach to (a) and (b). We realize that addressing reproducibility is a huge challenge. We need mission-driven engineers to come and help us. We have raised $28 million from Tencent, Khosla Ventures, Spark Capital, and True Ventures. Bijan Sabet from Spark Capital writes "We believe open science is really important. We believe Academia.edu is going to have a profound impact on the world." We are looking to hire full stack software engineers. Technologies we use include Ruby, Rails, Postgres, DynamoDB, React. Our office is in downtown San Francisco.

Despite kicking up our growth rate, we regard a highly interactive and in-depth training and mentoring process to be critical to our growth. A typical day finds me reviewing a lot of code and discussing design and implementation with the rest of the team, as well as fostering the onboardees' relationships with the rest of the organization.

Puns flow freely across our San Francisco office as well as on Slack, and we have remote engineers spanning six different time zones. Our engineering team [1] prides itself on code quality and innovation. We use the cutting-edge Elm programming language for all our new front-end code, and have been migrating legacy React code to Elm as well. We started with Ruby on Rails on our backend, and have lately been working to introduce Elixir to our stack. You can read about our experiences with these technologies on our team blog!

We are a global liquidity provider and market maker, operating around the clock and around the globe, employing over 500 people in our offices in New York, London and Hong Kong. It’s no secret that we’re big believers in functional programming; OCaml, a statically typed functional language, is our primary development platform. Jane Street’s technology group is small by design, which means we need to maximize the productivity of each person we hire. We believe functional programming (and specifically, OCaml) helps us do that. But it’s not about productivity alone: programming in a rich and expressive language like OCaml is just more fun. We’re also happy to spend time and money on making it easier for the people here to get things done. This ranges from big projects, like the work we do on development tools (e.g. Iron, our in-house code review and release management system, and Merlin, a tool for providing IDE-like features for OCaml), to little touches, like getting people whatever crazy keyboard will help them get their work done most comfortably.

We build web apps, and provide expertise on the best processes for building web apps, for a range of clients, from small startups to government departments. Right now, we are looking for an experienced full stack developer to join us. We work in small teams, which typically consist of two developers, one “product owner” from the client side, and one agile coach / project manager / scrum master. We work using a simple but powerful agile methodology that encourages collaboration, delivery, reflection and improvement. Each week, we plan and deliver completed features to our clients, with our aim always to have teams working together, not in silos or staggered across iterations. We would like to talk to people experienced in any technologies/languages, but at the moment our go-to server stack is Ruby and Ruby on Rails / Node.js where appropriate. We love React and Redux in the browser and find React Native makes us incredibly productive when creating native apps. We believe testing is imperative to creating a healthy project and commonly use RSpec and Capybara with Ruby and Jest, Jasmine or Mocha with JavaScript. We like to work in a casual, friendly atmosphere. We value social collaboration both with colleagues and our clients, so working from our Soho office (by the way, Soho is awesome) with hours of 10am - 6pm is the norm, but we are flexible with those hours and with days worked at home. We are a family and life friendly office, we understand school runs, doctors appointments, errands, and that hobby you love that means you need to nip off a bit early today. We trust you to cover your work with your team and your client in a responsible manner. The same goes for holidays. Too many agencies use a model where increased success only serves to makes their founders richer. If you came to work here, you would be become a member of our share scheme and be included in the company's profit sharing.

We start with an intensive eight-week Research Phase, delving deeply into the lived experience of people to discover insights that lead to potential product ideas. Followed by an 80-day Build Sprint, where the best ideas a that come out of the Research Phase are tested, validated, and built. Our previous Fellows, joining us from places like Facebook, Linkedin, Google, Twitter and more, have created new social ventures that fight poverty. Things such as an app that makes using food stamps simple easy and delightful, to a platform that helps renters get things fixed in their apartments. Some of these apps have raised millions in private venture funding, helped hundred of thousands of people, and made a real impact on the world. It's full time, paid opportunity to build a new social venture from the ground up with a top notch group of peers in a well supported environment. This year the Fellowship will focus on enabling Senior Citizens and their Caregivers. Our nation is aging rapidly, but rather than enjoying their golden years, too many seniors find themselves struggling, forced each month to choose between food, medication, or rent. And there has been an alarming rise in the number of seniors who are homeless or relying on food banks. In New York City, the number of seniors is projected to increase to nearly 1.9 million by 2030, making it the fastest-growing population. Unfortunately, seniors struggle disproportionately with access to benefits, health issues, and affordable housing. One out of every six seniors relies on emergency food One out of five lives below the poverty line One out of four has limited mobility Many face these challenges alone. In 2014, 32 percent of persons age 65 and over, and nearly half of persons 85 and older in New York City lived alone. In addition, seniors who live alone have the second highest poverty rate (among all older households). We think technology has a part to play.

Our engineers combine creativity, curiosity, and drive to continuously perfect and revolutionize Jet from the inside out. We are looking to bring more intellectually curious engineers who are passionate about technology in general (Jet is a technology first company and prides itself on its culture of learning and knowledge sharing and we want all our engineers to be as passionate as we are!) Our platform is largely an event driven platform implemented via a microservice architecture. The platform runs on Microsoft Azure and uses a large number of technologies and middle ware. The bulk of backend code is written in a functional style (F#) and our system of record is an event sourced system (essentially a log of all actions on the platform). We use a mix of Kafka, Redis, Elastic Search, Azure SQL, Event Store and Azure Storage for our data stores. About 50% of the platform runs on Linux and the rest Windows (although we move into more containerization we will see a shift towards Linux). \---------- I've been working at Jet for about a year, and I can honestly say this is the best job I've ever had. It personally checks off every single box I could have a for a dream job: \- Incredible growth. We were the fastest startup to hit a billion dollar valuation, and we just got bought by Walmart for 3.3 billion. With the Fortune 1 at our backs there are some really amazing opportunities and projects that are just getting started. \- Functional programming in F#. Never been more productive coding. And in general we have a very modern tech stack that is a pleasure to work with. \- Tech talks and workshops all the time. I'm learning more than I ever have. \- Extremely competent management. It feels like they really care about employees' happiness here, we've got experienced people at the helm, and it is amazing to see what a company can look like when you have a fantastic management team bringing their A-game. Really, it's incredible to have to try hard to find something to complain about. \- All the trappings of modern startup life. Free gym membership, lots of free food, etc. We're hiring people of all different types of experience for all different types of roles.

We have many offices worldwide including SF, NYC, Toronto, London, Palo Alto (pivotal.io/locations) and more coming. We're broken into three main divisions: Pivotal Labs (yes, _that_ Pivotal Labs), Cloud R&D and Big Data. \-- _Pivotal Labs_ helps clients to become better at product development.

Our product managers are fantastic at keeping products sharply focused, our designers are masters from users to pixels. \-- _Cloud R &D_ is where we build the best cloud platform available: We're the majority contributors to the Cloud Foundry project. Our distribution has the fastest-growing sales of any opensource product _ever_ and it's _still_ zooming up and to the right. Except for upstream code, every line is pair programmed and TDD'd. We dogfood the cutting edge of the technology on our own commercial cloud (Pivotal Web Services). Cloud R&D is also responsible for Pivotal Tracker and Spring. \-- _Big Data_ is our suite of battled-hardened products, now open sourced.

Tcl: a brief overview of language design gone wrong - yan http://www.airs.com/blog/archives/495 ====== bch Where to start... I guess we can start w/ the age of the last version that was used (clue: had no namespaces). That places it squarely pre-8.0 (8.05 was released early 1999). Rehashing a twelve year old language? (For reference, Tcl is shipping 8.5.9 now, and Tcl 8.6 is in beta, under active development). Lots has gone on since, then; Glancing at the article, first thing that jumps out is complaining about Tk not looking nice. Tk has had "Themed Tk" for some time now (<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tcl#Tile.2FTtk>). The difference is remarkable. Regarding quoting -- not much more to say than Perl or /bin/sh, for example. {prints $a... literally} "prints: $a <--- value of 'a'" "prints: [glob ] <--- the result of the glob cmd (a list of files)" Basically, substitution works for "double quotes", but not for {braces}. (But, dig into Tcl and there are more creative commands at your disposal, like: [subst -nobackslashes -nocommands {this is content of variable "a": $a}] And this: "...although everything is a string and it should be very easy to stick things together when that is what you want to do, in any scenario which is even slightly complex you have to start writing list operations in order to build your strings". What's wrong with: set a "oh"; set b "hai"; puts "$a $b";# easy-peasy (I'm a comment) "Tk’s layout procedure does a lot for you automatically, which in practice means that it’s a pain to do anything else." Tk has 3 layout engines...pick one. If you're having a lot of trouble, you're doing it wrong. The beauty of Tcl and Tk (which thankfully still exists today) was largely glossed-over, which is too bad. The Tk system...is a very clever way to easily write a GUI program. * "Tk is cross-platform." (of course, so is Tcl). Win, Mac, BSD, Linux, Solaris, etc., etc. * "...the actual Tcl implementation is great." Still true. * "has a nice event loop" Still does... and threads, and co-routines (8.6), and lambdas, safe interpreters, utf-8 support, tcp sockets, "tdbc" database connectivity (8.6), built-in OO facilities (8.6)... * "The core library provides system independent facilities which are well designed and well implemented." Still true... a joy to work with. So there you have it, an ad-hoc response to a review gone wrong. ~~~ tygorius At the beginning the author says his experience is based in 1997 -- which triggered a bit of a WTF response from me. If the language hadn't been updated in that time the "review" might make sense, but as your details point out it's woefully out of date. But really, in the realm of scripting languages 14 years is a _huge_ amount of time. Why would anyone judge Perl, Python, or Lua, say, by the state of those languages _in 1997_. The mind boggles.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Networking on AWS (2018) - petercooper https://grahamlyons.com/article/everything-you-need-to-know-about-networking-on-aws ====== becauseiam There's quite a few things you've missed that are significant and should have been included, maybe one for part two: * Network ACLs, which describe the ruleset (consider it like a stateless firewall) for subnets and their respective routes. Whilst they are optional, having a default set it straightens out a lot of duplication that may end up in Security Groups (which are more stateful in nature). * Elastic (public) IPs. NAT instances/gateways require their use, and there is dance to be done around their allocation in account, and attaching to instance interfaces. * IPv6 components. Egress-only Internet Gateways operate differently to IGWs, as there is no NAT they need a route applied across all subnets both public and private. IPv6 CIDR which allocates the VPCs /56 (and thus each subnet gets a /64, and each instance's interface thus gets a /128 which is bananas, but IPv6 is a second class citizen on AWS). Finally updating the subnets so automatic IPv6 address assignment happens. * VPC Gateways - these are broken into two types, the older type that support S3/DynamoDB and effectively allow traffic in a public/private subnet to bypass NAT. These enabled can have significant advantages to access and throughput. The newer "PrivateLink" services are different and having pricing costs associated with them. * DNS and DHCP: It's a rule in the VPC that the delegated resolver lives on ".2" of the VPC's CIDR, and operates in dual-horizon - EC2 hostnames setup accordingly resolved by instances inside the VPC will get the private VPC CIDR address, not any Elastic IP. ~~~ dvtrn _Network ACLs [...] Whilst they are optional, having a default set it straightens out a lot of duplication that may end up in Security Groups (which are more stateful in nature)._ I inherited an infrastructure that had NetACLs and security groups with duplicate entrypoints and policies, years of accumulated cruft because it was poorly designed and the documentation was even worse (read: nonexistent), security groups all the way down. That one threw me through a hard and annoying mental loop for a couple of hours until picking through with the finest tooth comb revealed what was going on. The fun part is going to be rebuilding our routing in a new VPC such that it doesn't make the next guy want to put his head in a black hole. I'd be lying if I said it wasn't a fun challenge in a sordid kind of way, though. ~~~ AmericanChopper I guess it’s a matter of preference, but I strongly prefer security groups over ACLs, which I don’t use at all. Even if only from a compliance perspective, a security group is equivalent to a host firewall (which personally helps me with PCI - no need for iptables and windows firewall). Whereas an ACL is a bit harder to make that case with. I also find them easier to audit. ~~~ javadocmd I like using ACLs for my coarse-grained "this subnet is allowed to talk to this subnet" rules, and security groups for everything finer-grained. Maybe I'm over-cautious, but I don't want one rogue security group opening up a tunnel to sensitive subnets. ~~~ ajbourg Yes, this is one of the best reasons to use network ACLs. (You can also achieve this with routes) I think the idea is that separate teams with different responsibilities can manage the two different layers. Your app team may manage the security groups but the security team manages network ACLs which limit what can go into or come out of a subnet. ------ llama052 Off topic, but as a network guy by heart I've always been fairly happy with how AWS implements the network side of things, especially in comparison to something like Azure. AWS you have the same basic concepts of a network, and the terminology aligns enough that you can make sense of it fairly quick if you're in the network realm. Azure however takes all of that 'network' stuff and turns it into this abstraction where you have to carefully follow one of their guides to realize it's out of date, or the UI doesn't show the appropriate information etc. Also you have Azure network portions that block ICMP because of 'security'. This is all anecdotal from my experience of course, but it's why I keep referring to Azure as the "Excel spreadsheet of the cloud" because the entire design of it is in your face and non intuitive. For instance if I wanted to make a direct connection like DirectConnect to multiple VPC's in AWS, I'd use the Transit Gateway, connect to it from on- prem, add the VPC and the route, and be done. In Azure, I'd use expressroute, add the Expressroute circuit to a Subscription, add a gateway for that, and then an additional gateway for each VPC equivalent, create an authorization key for each 'VPC' equivalent and sync them, and then define routing per gateway. Then when you go in to trace the network path ICMP is blocked. I know AWS is more mature than Azure, so it's not entirely fair to criticize them, but every time I touch Azure I miss AWS, or even GCP. Perhaps it's just me not being familiar enough with Azure. ¯\\_(ツ)_/¯ ~~~ tlynchpin Transit Gateway was announced at re:invent 2018. That's a few months ago. DirectConnect Gateway and Transit VPC were announced the year before. I would guess about nobody is currently in production with Transit Gateway. ~~~ curiouserrr Except you can’t yet do cross-account transit, which makes their Transit VPC offering pretty much useless. The whole point of transit is so you can talk to other VPCs across accounts. ~~~ joemag EC2 engineer here. You can connect transit gateway to VPCs owned by different accounts. ~~~ Hikikomori Will BYOIP be sharable with RAM? ------ benmanns NAT gateways are one of the things that blindsided me on the whole "serverless" idea for hobby projects. To have a Lambda function with access to the outside world and your private network resources your $0.01/month function becomes a $35/month+ expense if you don't want to manage your own t2 NAT instance (and required patches, upgrades, scaling, monitoring, etc). See [https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=234959](https://forums.aws.amazon.com/thread.jspa?threadID=234959) ~~~ iheartpotatoes There are a bunch of microcharges like this that pop up, but reading your thread are you sure AWS is right for your application? You essentially can't afford it and want a free tier and near-free access? That seems a bit unrealistic. Maybe lambda isn't the right solution? ~~~ sudhirj Lambda isn't the problem here, the private network (subnet) is. Basically default to public subnet with security groups configured for your incoming connections. If you really want / need the airgapping that private subnets provide, you'd better be willing to pay for them, and that makes sense to me personally - outside of PCI DSS or HIPAA compliance (or similar) I don't see any reason to use private subnets. That won't apply on a personal project. ~~~ sudhirj There's another gotcha, though is that Lambdas seem to default to inside the VPC by default, which triggers the NAT Gateway cost if you want to do anything useful with them. You'll need to explicitly remember to host the Lambdas outside the VPC. ~~~ manishsharan You may consider using NAT instance of EC2. A micro instance which can also serve as your bastion host. Or if you are a true extreme penny pincher -- have your lamba function invoke aws api to set up a NAT Gateway and update the subnet route, then execute your business function and then clean up the NAT. ~~~ sudhirj Huh? I can’t make out if this is sarcasm... you suggesting opening the firewall from the inside for each request, finishing the request and then closing the firewall? For starters, what would happen if request 1 closed the firewall while request 2 was still working? ------ mooreds I taught some courses on AWS for a year and a half. The networking piece is something that is trivial for any network engineer, but for any developer (which is my background) working through the network piece is crucial. It takes a while and this looks like a good reference. However, it's best to also check out the AWS docs [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/what- is-ama...](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/what-is-amazon- vpc.html) . They are not always the easiest read, but I find them to be pretty authoritative. I also like this video [https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/amazon-web- services/978...](https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/amazon-web- services/9781771373944/video217078.html) (part of [http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920040415.do](http://shop.oreilly.com/product/0636920040415.do) ). Full disclaimer, I used to work with Jon. ~~~ orangejewce This piece excludes some incredibly common networking complications: VPC Peering Connections, VPC Endpoint Services, VPN connections. ------ p4lindromica I created a collection of terraform modules that gets a minimal AWS network set up for a single-region webapp: [https://github.com/lopopolo/hyperbola/tree/master/terraform/...](https://github.com/lopopolo/hyperbola/tree/master/terraform/modules/aws/network) ~~~ dvtrn Kudos for this, sincerely! ------ wslh I want to add a few notes useful for packet crafting. AWS, Google Cloud, and Azure don't work at layer 2 (Ethernet) as expected since they provide services at layer 3 and up. For example, if you modify the MAC destination address it will not work in AWS. To be able to do that you should disable source/destination checks as is specified in [1]. The last time I checked you cannot do that in Google Cloud or Microsoft Azure. When we experienced this issue, Reddit was the best resource for answers. I put the Reddit threads as they can help others working in projects requiring packet crafting: [https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/51xypj/vpc_amazon...](https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/51xypj/vpc_amazon_virtual_private_cloud_issues_with/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/51y52n/aws_vpc_...](https://www.reddit.com/r/networking/comments/51y52n/aws_vpc_issues_with_crafted_network_packets/) [https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/533e14/google_com...](https://www.reddit.com/r/sysadmin/comments/533e14/google_compute_engine_issues_with_crafted_network/) [1] [https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_NAT_Ins...](https://docs.aws.amazon.com/vpc/latest/userguide/VPC_NAT_Instance.html#EIP_Disable_SrcDestCheck) ~~~ CloudNetworking And for those curious as to how/why this works this way, Azure has published papers on their virtual switch: [https://www.microsoft.com/en- us/research/project/azure-virtu...](https://www.microsoft.com/en- us/research/project/azure-virtual-filtering-platform/#!publications) ------ ninetax Nice, I found this explanation a bit more in depth and super helpful as well [https://start.jcolemorrison.com/aws-vpc-core-concepts- analog...](https://start.jcolemorrison.com/aws-vpc-core-concepts-analogy- guide/) ------ ggm As long as IPv6 is a second-class citizen, things are going to continue to be painful in AWS. I did the whole "here is your /56, now segment it yourself" thing. Its crude. It should not be neccessary, if V6 was central to the model, you'd be assigned /64 from your covering prefix automatically, as you deploy regional nodes. ------ cygned In my opinion, the most annoying thing about AWS networking - and some other services - is that they often use IDs and do not show labels which forces me to remember them partly, go back and forth or have multiple windows open. The AWS console is not the best UX piece on the web, but this part is especially error prone. ~~~ bmurphy1976 Having to reference security groups by id instead of name in cloudformation stacks, terraform, and a variety of other places is one of the most infuriating things. Makes everything much more difficult to configure and maintain because the IDs are so opaque and unique. Somebody has to do the grunt work of looking them and and copy/pasting them or writing scripts to propagate configuration forward. What a waste of time and effort. ~~~ chrisacky I agree, it's frustrating. However, considering you can share security groups, and even share VPC as a resource to different AWS accounts, and that "names" are non-unique, how would you solve the problem of allowing people to select a non-unique resource and know which one they actually mean. It's a pain, sure, but there's no better solution... explicitness creates certainty in this case.. ~~~ bmurphy1976 You would use the arns. Those are unique but predictable. ------ tambourine_man I’ve been banging my head against the wall for a week trying to set up a site to site VPN in AWS with a Cisco ASA. The auto generated config file have a lot of missing info. If anyone knows of a good resource on the subject it would be greatly appreciated. ~~~ mattbillenstein IMO closed-source stuff is just impossible to get working unless you're certified with that equipment. Try OpenVPN: [https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/site-to-site- routin...](https://openvpn.net/vpn-server-resources/site-to-site-routing- explained-in-detail/) ------ scubbo Something that's missing from this (otherwise great!) guide, that has puzzled me for a while - what's the point? What does this configuration actually gain you/AWS? My best guess is that private subnets are for DDOS protection, but that seems like something that would be better handled by throttling. Given the amount of complaints I've heard about how difficult VPC/Subnet setup is, why bother with it at all? Staving off IP address exhaustion? Or, to ask it another way - what would be the downside of all your resources being in 1 single-Subnet VPC, spread evenly across AZs? ~~~ llama052 Not sure I'm qualified to answer all of your questions on this but, from a networking perspective.. Private subnets will allow you to reduce your exposure to the Internet, also can reduce costs with something like a NAT gateway. It's useful for things that don't need to be public facing. Generally things on the private subnet can go outbound directly but not have anything come direct into that subnet, you'd need a solution that interfaces with the public side to facilitate that, or manually create a public IP association per instance. You generally don't want one big subnet in general, it's a broadcast domain and it can be quite chatty when you get a lot of devices on it. Alongside that if you're doing multi-AZ and spanning layer-2 you end up with a lot of additional complexity to get that network to span and be highly available over multiple AZ's, while another subnet can be mostly independent. I know of some weird edge cases where you'd have to span layer-2, but if you're doing anything cloud-native you should be able to build around it. ~~~ motive Just as an fyi, inside Amazon's virtual network topology, there is no such thing as layer 2, and thus, no broadcast topology. Normally you'd be 100% correct in seeking to limit that bandwidth, but in Amazon everything works just a little differently. ~~~ llama052 Ah yes are right. I was thinking specifically networking, not AWS. ------ abalone Tangential question: This guy's blog has fantastic content but I don't see an RSS feed or any other way of subscribing (apart from a much broader Twitter feed). What's the best way to keep up? ~~~ grahamlyons Flattery will get you everywhere. It's a Jekyll blog so I'm sure RSS is just a plugin away. And then I'd better write some more content... ~~~ abalone Thank you! But seriously, do you rely exclusively on Twitter to get the word out that you've posted something? I'm just so curious how people do this in the Modern Age. I am totally dependent on RSS readers to subscribe to things but I feel I am living in the past. I get that Medium tried to address the distribution problem, but not everyone posts on Medium. And I get that everyone posts things on Twitter, but I want to scream when people say just follow someone on Twitter because obviously there is a very, very high chance that I will miss if someone posted something new because Twitter is not meant to be read comprehensively. ------ vvanders Been recently putting together a homelab and it's done wonders to help make some of these more abstract things like routing tables and CIDR mentioned a lot more concrete. ~~~ voltagex_ Are you able to share any details? I started putting together a more complex setup and ended up flattening things out because I couldn't get routing between e.g. 10.0.0.1 and 10.1.0.1 working. ~~~ vvanders Yeah, totally depends on what you're using for a router/gateway/firewall. I've got a mix of Ubiquiti gear and pfSense. Most of it was a matter of just setting up a static route(like in the article) where when I'm on the 192.x.x.x(192.0.0.0/24) network and want to talk to 10.0.0.0/24 I'd put in the gateway(10.0.0.1) as the next hop. Without knowing more about your setup it's hard to say. r/homelab is also a pretty decent place with a lot of helpful people interested in networking and homelabs. ~~~ voltagex_ I've got an all-Ubiquiti setup (and once you start digging into the forums / need IPv6, boy is it unimpressive) It seems like going with the Ubiquiti USG instead of the EdgeRouter or a pfsense box was a big mistake. I'm heavily space/heat/power constrained though. ~~~ vvanders Same USG here. If you're on two different networks in the Unifi setup you'll also probably need a firewall rule between them. In my case the 10.0.0.0/24 was on pfSense so the Unifi router just passed it along and didn't do anything else. ------ gravypod Would be really good to go into managed VPNs and VPC peering. These are some of the amazing things that the VPCs provide you that took me a while to figure out. ------ devonkim The part that irks me is that if you’re doing any VPC design that’s going to even potentially include peering you need to carefully understand the limitations first. This means that within the same region you can refer to security groups in rules as if they’re in the same VPC, but you can’t do that if you’re peering across regions. Then add in some DNS restrictions (like not being able to directly resolve a peer VPC’s entries, somewhat solvable by use of VPC private zones to serve as DNS across regions) and it can be real awkward. Then there’s overlapping VPC CIDR issues (VPC Transit Gateways can only sorta help this) The primary caveats beyond basic networks that impact designs is that multicasting is not enabled by the network layers but at the network interface (ENI) layer and you need to carefully look at how security groups really work (they’re attached to an ENI fundamentally, which is how you can route between networks with a single instance as long as it’s within the same AZ) All of this I’ve found was completely disregarded / unknown by almost every company outside the F500 or high end tech start-ups when they first started with AWS and I’ve spent a lot of my career having to migrate production environments between VPCs so that we can get enough room to grow adequately. Making subnets as small as possible is not what you should be doing in AWS, folks. In fact, making them real small means you spent a fair bit of effort which means you decided to put in a lot of effort without stopping to read the documentation in earnest for a couple hours. And using a default VPC CIDR repeatedly from the console is a pretty grand way to make sure you can never let two VPCs communicate with each other via anything other than a third intermediate VPC that you’ll have to migrate to eventually. Some of the overly-cautious networking approaches I’ve seen include making a VPC for every single application / service, using a NACL for every application (multiplied by every AZ used to isolate each subnet and cutting off cross-AZ routing thereby, of course), creating your own NAT instance that doesn’t do anything better than a NAT gateway, NAT gateways in every AZ (for a whole $1 of traffic / mo each). The story of problems in AWS infrastructure is the same - trying to plan too far ahead for the wrong things and not realizing the limitations of the right things that are not flexible anymore. This is much more common when companies hire traditionally experienced network engineers that have just a little too much confidence. ~~~ jugg1es Planning your network is something everyone has to do whether or not they are using AWS. I think its unreasonable to expect to just throw stuff in AWS without thinking about it and then complain when something comes up unexpectedly. ~~~ devonkim The issue is that lots of folks get started on AWS (or any cloud provider) and because everything’s built around getting developers in a hurry to push out some code this step is increasingly taking less and less time. Sure, it’s not a big deal for the usual start-up that fizzles in a couple years but once it’s going and there’s actual users the system is setup that there will be a forced outage of some sort when a couple hours investment would have prevented a lot of headaches. The common pivot for a company is to go from a b2c company to b2b and that means regulations. That means you can’t do cowboy infrastructure setup like people setup their home network (in fact, most home networks are more secure than what most SaaS devs do as a rule sans router firmware exploits). ------ mvanbaak For the public subnets where the NAT gateways are, you can use 1 route table for all public subnets together. Besides that: nice article ~~~ grahamlyons Would the default route table do that job? Subnets would be associated with that if they weren't explicitly assigned to another route table, right? ~~~ mvanbaak Yes. But i prefer to create my own. Create a riutetable, call it “public” using a tag, attach the internetgateway and attach all public subnets, add a default route that points to the internetgateway and you’re done ------ simonebrunozzi The title says "everything you need to know about networking on AWS". I wish it were this simple. The article is well written, but it simply represents maybe 1% of what you need to know here. I would have called it "A simple introduction to networking on AWS". ~~~ grahamlyons I'd contest that this is everything that you _need_ to know. Or perhaps more accurately, everything _I_ need to know. It's certainly not intended to be exhaustive and I am definitely not a network engineer but I think you could operate at a reasonable scale within a single well laid out VPC. Of course there'll be a point for peering etc. but you might not need that. ------ rkangel Does anyone know of any similar resources for Google Cloud? ------ Gelob AWS security groups and ACLs are the most worthless things. you cant treat them like a real firewall. you end up just allowing anything outbound or inbound. they dont let you be detailed enough ~~~ AzMoo_ Why are you just allowing anything outbound or inbound? You can specify Allow/Deny on any combination of source subnet, dest subnet, source port, dest port for starters. That gets you a pretty comprehensive ability to lock down a VPC on its own. ~~~ Gelob Say I want to allow outbound http/https to 10 different IPs. I can't do that in 1 rule like a traditional firewall. ~~~ justnoise Just in case those IPs are within your AWS account: you can apply a single security group to those machines and then use that security group as the destination in the outbound rule. If they're outside your account then, you're right, that's a shortcoming in AWS (Azure and GCP both allow multiple destinations in a single rule). ~~~ Gelob Yes coming from outside aws, you're fucked ------ iheartpotatoes Ugh! That's the most complex explanation of AWS I've ever seen. He just described a NETWORK, not AWS. AWS has renamed lots of things, but all the scary text configs that used to be the domain of wizened sysadmins have been replaced with very simple single- page-app GUI controls. LIke routers and gateways: those terms are largely gone from the AWS vocabulary. No need to get into subnets and route tables I think. The majority of clients I've worked with use AWS for web hosting with an ELB load balancer (the most important part), an EC2 instance policy & image (for handling traffic fluctuations), an RDS (database), an S3 and Route53 (external DNS entries) Point the load balancer to the outside world and then let it spin up instances. That's the most common model I've encountered. IT's almost cartoonishly simple compared to what the OP wrote here. Almost. Having an understanding of network architecture helps, but not THAT much. ~~~ jrockway Having just gone through the process of using EKS, which requires a VPC, I think the article is quite applicable to anyone doing anything of average complexity. I found myself quite often wondering things like "do I have to run an Internet Gateway in every availability zone?" (no) and "do I attach my NAT Gateway to the public subnet or the private subnet in each AZ?" (public, and then add an entry for the gateway in the private subnet). Amazon does not clearly document any of this. (I think if you read enough you'll eventually figure it out, but experimentation was the most straightforward procedure here). As for just using a single EC2 instance and RDS... that is something you can do, but not everyone's workload is so simple that they can run it on one machine. And not everyone can afford do be down simply because one AZ is down. Hence, multi-AZ VPC setups.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

The folks I met at Rackspace share our (Anso Labs) vision of making OpenStack the best cloud platform for themselves and others.

My Favorite PostgreSQL Queries and Why They Matter - grzm https://severalnines.com/blog/my-favorite-postgresql-queries-and-why-they-matter ====== da_chicken > 6\. UPDATE multiple rows with a CASE expression Oh, man, as a seasoned DBA/Data Analyst, don't do this unless you have a really good reason to. This is premature optimization of the kind you want to avoid. Yes, it's really neat to update everything in a single statement, and in _some_ situations it can perform significantly better, but CASE expressions in an UPDATE statement quickly get complicated to map out in your head. It gets extremely difficult extremely quickly to tell where you have an error, and it's very, very easy to make a very costly mistake. If you really need an atomic change you can just do this: BEGIN; UPDATE reward_members SET member_status = 'gold_group' WHERE member_status = 'gold'; UPDATE reward_members SET member_status = 'bronze_group' WHERE member_status = 'bronze'; UPDATE reward_members SET member_status = 'platinum_group' WHERE member_status = 'platinum'; UPDATE reward_members SET member_status = 'silver_group' WHERE member_status = 'silver'; COMMIT; In general, however, make your queries difficult for the server and easy for you, because _you_ make a ton more mistakes than the server ever will. Let the query planner and optimizer do the work. If performance becomes a problem on this query, you can fix it later when you can focus on just that one issue and understand the specific problem much better. > You can imagine how many round trips this would take to the server if > multiple individual UPDATE statements had been run. If you're not returning data and you reuse the connection like you're supposed to, "round trips" cost is essentially nothing. What's expensive here is that the database server has to scan the index or row data on member_status. However, if the table is not billions of rows, it can probably fit that index (or even the row data for small tables) in memory and will cache hit on everything. However, the list of single UPDATE statement _can_ perform much better than a monolithic statement. If you're only updating a portion of the table, or if the number of rows that you'll actually be updating is comparatively small, then the list of single UPDATE statements can perform _much_ better. It all depends on exactly what you're doing with the table. ~~~ orf This comment is really interesting to me as I'm working on getting essentially this functionality added to Django[1]. The case statement is slightly different, more like this (usually with a couple of hundred ID's): UPDATE TABLE place SET rating = ( CASE WHEN id = 1 THEN 25 CASE WHEN id = 2 THEN 94 CASE WHEN id = 3 THEN 16 ) WHERE id IN (1, 2, 3) Members of the Django community, myself included, have seem huge performance benefits using this technique. I had an update loop go from taking 90 seconds to 3. As a seasoned DBA you see any huge downsides with this technique? I agree that if you're updating the whole table using a CASE statement is not a great idea but if you want to update 1000 rows with differing values and you have to issue 1000 individual queries then this can take some time (including whatever overhead Django has). 1\. [https://github.com/django/django/pull/9606](https://github.com/django/django/pull/9606) ~~~ pritambaral > (usually with a couple of hundred ID's) > I had an update loop go from taking 90 seconds to 3. How is the performance with prepared statements? It seems like repeatedly executing the same statement with different values is what prepared statements are made for. ~~~ Can_Not The ORM likely does use prepared statements, it's that most ORMs by default makes 100 round-trip IO operations (one for each update). The code would need to be rewritten without the ORM to send all the updates as one database call. The query isn't expensive to the database, but to the application itself just the IO of the database call adds up quickly. ~~~ orf Unfortunately Django does not use prepared statements. There are some big challenges to work around before support can be added. In any case I'd be very, very surprised if a significant portion of the 87 seconds using a single statement saved was saved also saved by using a prepared statement. ~~~ Can_Not I don't think using a prepared statement 100 times will have anywhere close to the same performance improvement as sending one concatenated bulk update or one update set case. ~~~ pritambaral No reason why prepared statements and single-call batched-statements can't both be used together. Of course, if one method (batching statements) works well enough, there's no need for another (prepared statements) too. ~~~ Can_Not In every ORM I've ever used, everything is a prepared statement by default, so I've only been comparing 100 separate database call updates vs 100 updates concatenated as a single database call and 100 updates as a single update case when, where all three were already implied prepared statements. ------ bmpafa These are great. I feel like no matter how many PG tips & tricks I learn, there's always something new out there. I recently started learning PostgreSQL after ~2 yrs of relying on BaaS etc. (mostly of the NoSQL variety). I have to say: I regret not learning it earlier. Stuff like constraints, triggers, views, etc., are game-changers, but even just being able to write queries instead of navigating a proprietary GUI was worth the few weeks it took to learn. It was also a boon for data analysis work. Whereas before I'd take a few hours cleaning some data with JavaScript or Python, now I just write a SQL query or two. It's faster, it feels more powerful, and it's _substantially_ less fragile than one-off data cleaning scripts. Anyway: for those that started out like I did, afraid of SQL, dive on in. ~~~ cuchoi How did you learn? Old-fashioned trial and error + googling? ~~~ JohnCohorn The PG docs are surprisingly good. Good enough to learn from. I remember learning my first SQL back in like 1999 or 2000 by reading the PG docs in the back of my parents minivan. Good times! ~~~ paulie_a I don't mean to knock the pg docs but I honestly come away reading them with the feeling "what did I just read?". They seem dense and dry. So personally I appreciate the articles like this to help me really learn. I will skip over official documentation and go to this sort of content. ~~~ jlg23 > They seem dense and dry. I consider that a feature. I loathe wasting my time by having to dig through layers of prose to get some fact. But they are probably not suitable as a tutorial, they only make sense when you already know relational database basics and need info on pg-specifics. ~~~ paulie_a It's a personal preference I guess. I'd rather hit up stack overflow and find a common English answer to a similar problem that usually includes an example. Django suffers from the same thing... excellent docs, that just seem unapproachable day to day. Basically when I Google something, I'm skipping the first 2-3 official links that in fact contains the info I need, but instead clicking the one that summarized it more plainly ~~~ mgkimsal If it doesn't actually resonate with you, and you don't come away with the understanding you need, it's most certainly not a 'feature' but a 'bug'. I think some projects see dense/thicks docs that keep a high barrier to entry as a feature itself as well. If they're not approachable, they're not 'excellent'. ~~~ paulie_a I've been a django developer for a decade and keep hearing from others how great their docs are. I barely ever use them. My biggest complaint is they give examples without any context. I can't look up a feature without knowing 12 other things before ------ geocar PostgreSQL like many SQL engines has real cost in doing separate queries, and the query analyser does a lot of work to "understand" what you mean (and may need a lot of guidance in the form of indexes), but in kdb+, a lot of these queries are simple and obvious to a q programmer, and doing it across multiple statements creates opportunities to understand what you're looking at -- and with little-to-no cost. 1. fake:2017.02.01+til 28 t:select sum amount by legit:payment_date.dd from payment t:update fake:legit from a where legit in fake.dd select from t where amount > 2000 2. string[2]," times "," 2 equals",string[22] 3. t:desc select sum amount from payment by customer_id where payment_date.mm = 4, payment_date.dd within 10 13 / or obviously clearer if you know the year: / t:select ... where payment_date within 2017.04.10 2017.04.13 d:exec distinct customer_id from t where amount > 30 select first_name, last_name, email from customer where customer_id in d only want the top 5? d:5#d; 4. Tables are a data type (unlike SQL) so this is much simpler: tbl_1:([] some_day:2018.04.01+til 15; an_amt:2.43+2.266til 15) tbl_2:([] some_day2:2018.05.16+til 16; an_amt2:15.43+1.03*til 16) 5. No need for a query: count film count where film.rating="G" or remembering this is a vector language: sum film.rating="G" count of each rating needs a query though: select count i by rating from film 6. An excellent opportunity to see value sharing syntax between function application and indexing: m:`gold`bronze`platinum`silver!`gold_group`bronze_group`platinum_group`silver_group m:m!`$string[m:`gold`bronze`platinum`silver],\:"_group"; /shorter update member_status:m member_status from `reward_members where member_status in key m 7. awards_to_honor:select expense_amt, member_status from reward_members where member_status=`gold_group save `:awards_to_honor.csv ~~~ klibertp > a lot of these queries are simple and obvious to a Q programmer I'm not sure if it was you, but I most definitely saw a couple of posts like this on HN. Each time I had just one wish: for the poster to provide an explanation, preferably from the basics, of what is going on. As a programmer, due to my hobby, I learned a lot more programming languages than average and am pretty confident in my ability to learn new ones, yet K and Q elude me completely. Every time I get interested in it, I struggle with its complete lack of entry-level documentation. I learned J, and while it's similarly impenetrable at first, there are tons of good documentation on J wiki. With Q I couldn't find anywhere near that amount of explanations. So, I'm not against pasting Q snippets in comments, but I think they would bring much, much more value if accompanied with a detailed explanation of both syntax, semantics, and library functions. As it stands, even things I thought I know, like that : means assignment, only add to the confusion, because looking at your code I see that apparently it sometimes means something else entirely... ~~~ is0tope I usually recommend Q for Mortals. V[http://code.kx.com/q4m3/](http://code.kx.com/q4m3/) The thing I love is that the SQL and regular programming syntax can be mixed. For instance, if I wish to apply a lambda function for each group I can do, eg: select result: {lambda code here...} column by category from table Since a table is implicitly a list of dictionaries under the hood, you can iterate over a table where each column will be a dictionary. Tables and dictionaries are first class objects in q, so it is a lot easier to reason about certain manipulations as they are essentially the same as if you had used regular code. One issue I've always had with SQL itself is that I learned KSQL first, and the way many things are done in regular sql just seem strange. ------ spraak How does one get this level of SQL proficiency? I am not sure how to go beyond my current level of understanding, and these queries don't make much sense to me. I don't often do more than some selects and maybe an inner join occasionally, so far. ~~~ AlisdairO (self plug) I made [https://pgexercises.com/](https://pgexercises.com/) a while back to help people learn SQL in a learn-by-doing exercise format. You can run the queries in the browser, so it's easy to just to an exercise when you have a spare few minutes. ~~~ barryhoodlum I came across this when it was posted to HN a year or two ago and ended up finishing the whole thing. Thank you for making it. ~~~ AlisdairO Pleasure - glad you found it useful :-) ------ bmpafa minor style thought: I think it'd be easier to scroll thru an article like this (ie, a list of things) if the item headers were more distinct from the body. e.g., a heavier weight, or maybe with more vertical margin. ~~~ topspin Indenting the SQL wouldn't hurt either. ~~~ labster You should view the article on mobile then, where all the SQL is indented... and in a font 2x the size of the rest of the article, and you can only see 25% of a line. ------ sudomake You dont need include aggregate functions in your select clause to use them in having and order by. I suppose I may be glossing over another point, but for the subquery example I would've just done: SELECT first_name, last_name, email FROM customer WHERE customer_id IN (SELECT DISTINCT customer_id FROM payment WHERE extract(month from payment_date) = 4 AND extract(day from payment_date) BETWEEN 10 AND 13 GROUP BY customer_id HAVING SUM(amount) > 30 ORDER BY SUM(amount) DESC LIMIT 5); ------ jaequery can anyone recommend a really good postgres GUI client? ive not found one yet for OSX, which is almost baffling ~~~ bmdavi3 Other people have given actual answers, so I'll go ahead and give the non- answer of... use psql instead! Like Dimitri Fontaine says early in the Mastering PostgreSQL in Application Development book mentioned elsewhere in this thread, psql is really powerful. From the \d meta commands to inspect anything and everything in the database, to the variable substitution, nothing beats editing sql in your preferred editor and hitting \i my_query.sql in psql to run it. You can also nest additional \i my_other_query.sql commands inside the files you run with \i, which I've found really useful for repeatedly dropping / installing test tables / views, or setting up test data, before running the query I'm actually interested in. Take the time to customize it by adding a few lines to your .psqlrc file, like \x auto, and \timing and it becomes very usable very quickly. I used psql for a number of years, then joined a new company where DataGrip was the norm. I gave DataGrip an honest try to see what I might be missing from a GUI SQL client. After a year of using it exclusively, I slowly found myself migrating back to psql and can honestly say I don't miss anything. But it's also possible I just haven't tried the right GUI client yet. Anyway, I hope you find the PostgreSQL client that works for you! ~~~ njharman yes but pgcli, [https://www.pgcli.com/](https://www.pgcli.com/) ~~~ emmelaich Nice. That tui looks similar to the gcloud alpha interactive cli.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Amazon won't spin off AWS.

Almost all of these companies, which spanned industries from retail to pharmaceuticals to media to real estate, considered Amazon a competitor or soon to be one.

Welcome to America (detained journalist in LAX) - Nitramp http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2004/jun/05/usa.weekend7 ====== cstross Point of note: the USA is about the _only_ developed nation that currently requires journalists to apply for a visa before visiting.

Personal opinion -- this is a _really dumb_ requirement and, as evident in this article, is damaging to the USA's reputation overseas. ~~~ Nitramp I posted this as it really seems to be a trend (as mentioned in the article). The US border controls get more and more ridiculous for foreigners - but only in a security theater way. None of these moves seem like they could actually defend against any kind of threat.

The Scope of Unsafe - panic https://www.ralfj.de/blog/2016/01/09/the-scope-of-unsafe.html ====== losvedir Oh, that's interesting. I follow rust development with interest but have only built a few toy projects in myself and was definitely under the impression that these sorts of issues resided solely in `unsafe { ... }` blocks. But, yeah, with this example it makes sense. I'm relieved to hear that at least it doesn't pollute beyond module boundaries. But now I'm questioning what the difference is between `unsafe {...}` code and within-module code that accesses it, if the latter also has to deal with memory safety issues? Should `unsafe` only be declared at the module level then? ~~~ fmstephe "I'm relieved to hear that at least it doesn't pollute beyond module boundaries." This isn't true, it is easy to come up with an example where lack of safety spreads past module boundaries. impl Vec<T> { pub fn evil(&mut self, len: i32, cap: i32) { self.len = len; self.cap = cap; } } If we want to know our program is broken now, we need to look across all of the source code to see if evil is called in breaking ways. The point was that Rust provides abstraction facilities which allow us to contain these invariants. If we are careful. ~~~ Manishearth `len` and `cap` are private fields and can't be accessed outside the module boundary, even by an impl. ~~~ phaylon I've been wondering if it would make sense to encapsulate internal fields that are part of the unsafe machinery in a type forcing you to use unsafe blocks, even inside the type impl. [edit: Removed note about UnsafeCell since it's not really like the thing described above] I haven't really played with it though, most of my unsafe use is FFI. ~~~ Manishearth You can, but IMO it's not so necessary. The module boundary thing doesn't cause many issues in practice is straightforward to reason about if you're aware of it. (And if you weren't aware of it you would probably not use `UnsafeField` either, since the compiler can't force you to do that) ~~~ phaylon I'm more thinking about the documentation effect of such a wrapper type. Both in the data structure and in the parts of the code that are foced to use unsafe. ~~~ ralfj I suggested something kind-of-similar at <[https://internals.rust- lang.org/t/pre-rfc-unsafe-types/3073>](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/pre- rfc-unsafe-types/3073>) ------ rcthompson So, one question might be whether it's possible to encode some of these implicit invariants into the type so that the "evil" function would actually fail to compile. ~~~ Animats That's quite possible, and most proof of correctness systems can do it, but there's no syntax in Rust for talking about the necessary object invariants. Object invariants are assertions which must be true whenever control is not within the object. The object invariants must be true when control leaves the object by exiting any public function. Nothing outside the object must be able to alter the variables involved in the object invariant. Only one execution thread can be in the object at a time. If you can demonstrate all of those conditions, assuming the invariant is true at entry to the object, you have proved the object invariant. This is a useful and well-understood concept in the proof world, but isn't seen much in programming languages. ~~~ ralfj Since Rust supports concurrency, it is worth mentioning that these techniques have been scaled to handle objects that can be accessed from multiple threads at once - while maintaining the modularity of the approach. See, for example, <[http://plv.mpi-sws.org/iris/>](http://plv.mpi-sws.org/iris/>) and <[http://software.imdea.org/fcsl/>](http://software.imdea.org/fcsl/>). ------ rdtsc > pub fn evil(&mut self) { self.len += 2; } Does it makes sense to think if it takes a mutable instance of the "unsafe" structure, then whatever it does to it could be "usafe". So it seems to fix it by hand, one could wrap all the calls which touch instances of this Vec with safe validation code -- basically guard code that runs at runtime to prevent corruptions from spreading. Can it be easily done during compile time? ~~~ majewsky That's called "Design By Contract". You formally specify pre/post-conditions of functions and invariants of classes (such as "cap >= len" in this case), and have the compiler enforce that automatically, e.g. by inserting runtime checks. ~~~ catnaroek Runtime checks don't constitute "compile-time enforcement". ~~~ rdtsc Yeah I think it would be compile-time addition of runtime-enforcement checks. ------ nanofortnight I don't think this is very surprising; if you do something unsafe hapharzardly within an unsafe block you can put the program in a state a safe program would not be able to reach, so further computation is in an unsafe state. In fact isn't this why we have unsafe in the first place; so that such code can be more easily verified? I disagree with the notion the author suggests that the problem isn't in the unsafe code. ~~~ ralfj To reach a conclusion here, we will have to agree on what it means to be the "cause of the problem". It is true that if a program crashes, then there has to be some unsafe code in that program. This statement is however not very helpful, because pretty much all programs use libstd which contains unsafe code. So, I'd define the "cause" of a bug to be the piece of code that you fix to get rid of the bug. If `evil` was in libstd, the fix would be to remove `evil` (or somehow make it take a default value, grow the `Vec` to be large enough and fill the two new slots with that default value). In that sense, the problem here clearly was in the safe code `evil`, since it's that code which had to be changed to get rid of the problem. ~~~ Gankro The guarantee I prefer is "If there's a segfault and you didn't write `unsafe`, it's not your fault". This is not necessarily referring to a single change, but rather the application as a whole. Dependencies like libstd are ignored here . As soon as there's any `unsafe` in your code, you've unlocked hard mode and everything is probably your fault. ------ btrask Perhaps a quick fix would be to allow variables themselves to be tagged as unsafe, so they could only be changed from unsafe blocks. ~~~ btrask I tried suggesting this directly on GitHub. Here was the response: > There's an old idea of unsafe fields that would come up for datatypes. It > can be emulated with a Unsafe<T> wrapper that has unsafe methods to get > references to its interior, or to read/write. It's not widely used, or used > at all afaik, since the gains aren't that great. People writing unsafe code > generally know the issues, and that privacy is the #1 way the abstraction > boundary is maintained. [https://github.com/rust- lang/rust/issues/9883#issuecomment-1...](https://github.com/rust- lang/rust/issues/9883#issuecomment-170716254) Privacy may be the best way to limit unsafety, but C and C++ already have privacy. ------ catnaroek How exactly is this notion of “semantic types” formalized? Is it something like NuPRL, where the base language's type system isn't sufficiently precise to rule out all misbehaviors, and on top of that a more precise type system is added, whose typing rules might be defined in terms of the base language's evaluation/execution rules? ------ shadowmint The scope of unsafe ends at the next abstraction boundary. This means that everything outside of the std::vec module does not have to worry about Vec. ... Of course, this also means that everything inside std::vec is potentially dangerous and needs to be proven to respect the semantics of Vec. So wait, in a nutshell, a module is 'safe' if and only if you formally prove that every public interface into the module and every way that public interface can be invoked... is error free. How is that any improvement on any other language? If the burden of 'safety' is formal proof of _the entire module_ , then you're (surely) no better off than using C++ and doing exactly the same thing. I mean, obviously the borrow checker can help to some extent, but what you're basically saying is that it's not enough; you can't trust the borrow checker for safety; you _must_ formally verify a module in order to know it's safe, if it contains any unsafe code. In other words, if your rust program has _any module_ in _any dependency_ that has unsafe code (ie. every rust program), it is potentially unsafe, regardless of the borrow checker (because some code path may invoke a 'safe' function that has not be formally verified to be safe, and results in undefined behaviour despite being safe). That's quite a troubling conclusion. ~~~ dbaupp I'm not really sure what the problem is here: having to formally verify a module doesn't seem fundamentally different to formally verify a single function. I mean, sure, it's some more code, but there's still well-defined containment. And, being "allowed" to reason about a whole module (well, usually one just cares about a whole type, but these often match, especially for unsafe code) seems far more useful: one can build far more interesting abstractions. If one was forced to reason about a single function at a time, Vec couldn't exist in a useful way, as every function would have to assume the incoming Vec value could be arbitrarily invalid. In any case, there are many many modules with no `unsafe` code, e.g. std::option has none [1], iron::response has none [2], image::jpeg has none [3] (just some random examples). These are automatically safe, if you assume that that the code they call is safe, which seems to me like the only assumption that can make sense: if the safe modules call unsafe ones that aren't safe... well, the problem is in the unsafe ones, not the safe ones. What I'm trying to say is this paragraph doesn't seem to change anything fundamental about the objections to safe vs. unsafe you sometimes write about; it is not introducing anything new, and so the refutations you often receive still apply.

Now its that you have to just make sure all your code is correct, not just the unsafe blocks. /me shrugs I think thats lame, and breaks the promises rust is trying to make about writing safe secure software. If safe code may not be safe, whats the point of it at all. You, are of course welcome to your own oppinion. ~~~ ralfj No, it doesn't break the promises in any way. If _all your code_ does potentially dangerous memory manipulation, then there's very little hope that there will ever be an automatic checker for the safety of your program. The promise of Rust rests on the assumption that _most code is not like that_. There are a few fundamental data structures that do crazy stuff, and okay, we have to use `unsafe` there - and if we want to have any formal guarantees, we have to do a formal proof. If are happy with less, we just manually audit that data structure extra carefully. We also put every such data structure in its own module, which carefully limits the amount of code that is exposed to this unsafety. However, most of the code will just _use_ those data structures, and that's where Rust gives you a safety guarantee. Combing `Vec` and `HashMap` and all the other types from the standard library in any way you want, hammer them from multiple threads, send stuff across channels, whatever - you can do all of that safely, and if your code crashes, you don't have to look at all this code because you did not write `unsafe`, only the standard library did - and you are in a separate module. > Now its that you have to just make sure all your code is correct, not just > the unsafe blocks. This is not correct. As I wrote in the post, you have to check _all code within a module that contains `unsafe`_. Most of the modules people write do not contain `unsafe`, and hence are not checked. I'd be curious to learn why you think this is the case. ~~~ shadowmint The point I'm making is that, and this surprised me, the onus on soneone writing a module with unsafe code, to ensure it does not violate memory safety is _much higher_ than I realized. It is not 'all rust' you must verify; just all rust that touches unsafe code. You might argue this is nothing new, and indeed if you read this comment thread you'll see the suggestion that the difference between verifying an entire module and verifying only the unsafe blocks in it is insignificant. My point is that there is at least an order of magnitude more safe code than unsafe code in an unsafe module, and I suspect it is not scrutinized nearly as much as the unsafe code. There are _a lot_ of crates that use unsafe code in one form or another; and it troubles me (although no one else cares) that they are probably more dangerous than I realized. 'Just verify the unsafe blocks' is something I've literally heard people say. ~~~ dbaupp A lot of people care: e.g. the Rustonomicon[1] spends a lot of time caring about unsafe code (that is one of the main reasons for it to exist), and the massive RustBelt project[2], which Ralf (author of the blog post) is part of, is because people care. Even the lowest level developers (working on OSes) care about being very careful about how they use `unsafe`, e.g. [3]. One thing that some of us are hopeful will come out of RustBelt are more advanced `unsafe` checkers (i.e. some sort of proof assistant, possibly with lints built into the compiler). In any case, talking about "order of magnitude" misses the point somewhat: there might be a large amount more code, but a lot of it is trivial to verify, e.g. the declaration of a struct doesn't need any verification, nor do comments, and if T, the type with invariants, has no internal mutability (which is fairly typical for unsafe code outside std, IME), then any safe function that takes &T is automatically safe. [1]: [http://doc.rust-lang.org/doc/stable/nomicon/](http://doc.rust- lang.org/doc/stable/nomicon/) [2]: [http://plv.mpi- sws.org/rustbelt/](http://plv.mpi-sws.org/rustbelt/) [3]: [http://os.phil- opp.com/printing-to-screen.html](http://os.phil-opp.com/printing-to- screen.html) ~~~ shadowmint linked_list.rs once you strip the comments, struct defs, and whatnot out has 415 lines, of which 64 reside in unsafe blocks, 6x as much code to check. That's one trivial module. The piston modules and other c bindings have much worse ratios. When the amount of code that you have to verify manually jumps by 6x (or worse), that's surprising. I was surprised and troubled by that.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Uber Hiked Taxi Fares During Terrorist Attack in London - znpy https://sputniknews.com/europe/201706041054303636-london-attack-uber/ ====== RubberSoul Can someone who thinks Uber's pricing is unethical or bad please explain their reasoning? Why would the scenario without surge pricing be preferable to you? The result without surge pricing would be a much longer queue. Queues typically lead to a poor allocation of resources. Surge pricing causes people with other transportation options, or less need, to seek alternatives. People with acute transportation needs are then more likely to get rides. ~~~ phamilton I don't think it's unethical, but that's because I understand surge pricing is a tactic to increase the number of drivers on the road. Most people don't get that. And as much as we want to blame people for not understanding how things work, the onus is on Uber to communicate these things clearly. I do think it's not just bad PR, but it wastes an opportunity for great PR. The other black car service capitalized on the opportunity to help. Had Uber recognized this and put surge pricing into effect for drivers but subsidized riders they would have gained a lot of good will. But they didn't and they have to continue to fight the negativity. ~~~ throwaway46753 Uber did stabilize prices and refunded those that were charged surge prices. These outraged customers are just those that were charged surge automatically before surge was turned off and the money was refunded. This happens every time with terrorist attacks. This is just another example of a journalist bottom feeding for ad impressions. ------ Simulacra It's unfortunate Uber doesn't have someone who monitors all sudden rate hikes like these, and maybe has a throttle switch to interject some oversight into an automated system. ~~~ throwaway46753 Serious question: how do you automatically know that increased demand is from a terrorist attack versus some other legitimate source of surging like the emptying of some venue or unexpected precipitation? The best I can think of is geotagged tweets. This events are also infrequent and different enough that I'm not certain how easy it would be to train a model to detect a terrorist attack. Human monitors would probably have to analyze tweets and determine what's happening and turn surge off after the fact. Even then the right solution would be to leave surge on so that that part of the city lights up on the driver app and attracts more drivers to that part of the city, and then you refund customers the surge price exactly as uber has done during every single terrorist event that I've observed. This is just some journalist published yet another unwarranted outrage piece against the company for the clicks. The unethical company here is the daily mail taking advantage of Uber and a terrorist attack to generate ad impressions. ~~~ tim333 Google news search for terrorist attack, maybe combined with Twitter for the geolocation? Or perhaps more realistically alert a human to decide whether to cancel surge pricing?	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

Blekko already has a list of domains to block from results - aj700 http://blekko.com/ws/+/topspam ====== aaronbrethorst Wow, I'm seeing tons of false positives. Why on earth is the co-written blog of a nobel laureate and a 7th circuit appeals court judge making blekko's bayesian classifier freak out? #88 - <http://www.becker-posner-blog.com> \- bayes (spam 31.6 > 5.3) ~~~ vaksel my guess is the fact that it has two dashes, which is almost always indicative of spammers. ------ robinduckett I'm seeing: <http://www.deadmau5.com> -> Really, spam? <http://www.comparethemarket.com> -> Price comparison site with no known biases in the UK __and __not owned by British Telecommunications, as it is listed. Even ONE false positive is enough to make me think this listing is a load of bullshit. How is geocities' "closing down" page spam? ~~~ JamesDB A site in the UK that gets a huge amount of traffic and is backed by a large off-line national advertising campaign. Why has this been banned? Never seen spam on there, nor have seen them spamming. ~~~ seabee Don't be fooled, that advertising campaign only used a 'sensible', similarly- named insurance business to introduce an unusual niche company[1] to the market. It's a clever ploy, you can read about it in Aleksandr Orlov's book that came out a month ago.

Sometimes we can deliver better results without the user doing anything different from what they're used to doing, but not always. ------ benbeltran Two big problems with automated spam blocking are: false positives and changing domain names. For the second one, how often do you revise your blocked links? what if it changed owner and the new one doesn't provide spam. For the first one, is even one false positive tolerable? Will you deny someone presence in your index because you failed? And if so, how do you handle challenges? ~~~ greglindahl We don't mark a domain as spam until many of the pages we've seen look spammy. Our ideal is to recrawl everything every 14 days, but during our launch we have not been achieving that. ------ zitterbewegung Why is <http://www.deadmau5.com/> marked as spam?? Its obviously not. ~~~ lgeek It looks like they have a considerable number of false positives. Another site, jet2.com is the website of a low cost airline; wp-plugins.net is hosting Wordpress plugins. ~~~ moultano Maybe looking for numbers in the domain name? It's probably a really good signal overall. ------ greglindahl * This list is generated by our algorithm, it's the most important sites which our algorithm thinks are spam. The point of making the list public is so that you guys can tell us when we're wrong. Google has a list like this, but they don't show it to anyone. Transparency in action. Thank you all for pointing out false positives in the list. That is what we hoped would happen. * The "nocrawl" sites are human-picked by us. Geocities is on the list because it was a very spammy domain. Even though they've (finally) removed the data, we still have old data indexed, and will remove them from the spam list once all that old data ages out. * BT is the hosting company for comparethemarket.com ------ YooLi There are quite a few false positives on that list. Also titling sites with nocrawl as spam is pretty lame. dshield.org is listed as mfa, but there isn't an adsense ad on it. ------ wybo I have been using Blekko as my primary search-engine for a couple of days now, and in my experience their search-results are very decent. Not, maybe in terms of falsely blocked sites, but certainly in terms of having fewer false positives (e.g. spam/useless pages) in the search results. Mom & pop users (and even more advanced searchers, such as students looking for book-reviews, or torrents) might very well forgive them the few false blocks for this. Zittrain in his 'The Future of the Internet and How to Stop It' already wrote about this trade-off in terms of spam being made possible by the generativity of the internet, and people increasingly preferring controlled environments over those full of virusses and spam (wonder why apple's locked down devices are so popular?). Of course this has big downsides too, and even is bad in my opinion. But Blekko, by allowing people to create their own slashtags (categories, much more flexible and quick than Googles domain search) and google/yahoo/bing always being only one click away, might have arrived at a good middle- ground... Imho Blekko might very well be able to beat Google at their own game. Give them a try, or at least sometimes when google doesn't do it for you, I'd say... ~~~ biot _> Not, maybe in terms of falsely blocked sites, but certainly in terms of having fewer false positives (e.g. spam/useless pages) in the search results._ A false positive is when a good site is mistakenly identified as a spammy site. ------ Misha_B In spite of the (justified) complains you get about the false positives, I think that's a great way to go. Unlike with email where missing a message might be critical, in search I'd rather have even as much as 10-20% false positives than deal with the spam sites Google delivers. More in general, concerning the front page search examples: "cure for headaches" works very well indeed compared to google. However, "global warming /liberal" is a bit irritating. I understand the rationale behind it, however there is this slight difference between finding only what one is looking for and hearing only what one wants to hear. To find anything non-mainstream might necessitate a technique like this in Google where you otherwise don't see anything else in the first 50 results... But maybe you can strive to find for me what's really going on and not merely what's mainstream and politically correct. Thinking about it, your blocking of domains like Answer.com might be a great step in that direction anyway. ~~~ eli Really? I'd rather have spam sites than 20% of my legitimate results missing. I guess it depends on what you're searching for. "cure for headaches" will probably be just fine with some missing sites, but "Deadmau5 tour dates" will definitely be affected by the false positive block on deadmau5.com ------ cubicle67 can anyone explain what bayes and mfa mean? I picked the site <http://www.basemetals.com/> (bayes (spam 8.6 > 5.3)) at random, and although it won't win any design awards I can't see what the problem with it is. Am I missing something? ~~~ greglindahl mfa = Made for Adsense. That means we believe that the domain seems designed more to show ads than to provide content. bayes = our Baysian analysis gizmo thinks bad things about this site's content. Too much Viagra, not enough content. Like all artificially- intelligent things, it can sometimes be hard to see why it's upset. ~~~ nervechannel Maybe try using something like a decision tree where the classification steps are much more obvious. There are parallelizable implementations out there... ------ aj700 Omitting these domains from results is "automated". _Managing the list isn't_. It's based partly on how many users report a domain as being spam. At least that's one of the reasons for inclusion. And don't bayesian filters, with little data to work with and if newly implemented always have false positives? Maybe some are labelling valid stuff as spam out of spite. When blekko has millions of users labelling stuff as spam instead of very few, the system will be harder to abuse and the list much better. ------ zitterbewegung From all the comments and what I have noticed it sounds like a good question is "Is it better to have false positives or false negatives" in the spam problem. I personally think that its better to have false negatives then positives and a lot of the comments here seem to reflect that. ~~~ greglindahl That depends on how many false positives and negatives we have -- you don't really know how many of either. There are 100 million hosts in our crawl, how can you estimate if we have a false positive problem from looking at the list of the top 100 marked spam? ~~~ zitterbewegung Your right. Would there be a way to get a sample of the database and attempt to do a test if there are a considerable amount of false positives? ------ rumpelstiltskin If they put johnchow.com on the list, they must be doing something right. ~~~ grok2 I actually only saw johnCOW.com (not CHOW). ------ veb Wouldn't it be better to let people do their own blacklists, and then incorporate that into their official list _if_ a percentage of people have that site down as spam? ~~~ Entlin No, that would actually be an easy system to exploit: create a million accounts with your competitors in it, watch how the search engine blocks it. ------ viraptor Doesn't include swik.net which is a crap link aggregation / search tag spam - I'd expect that one to be removed... ------ kilian I wonder why they have both the www and the non-www version in there for domains? ~~~ shiftpgdn Google counts them as different websites. It is typically a wise SEO move to use your .htaccess file to setup a 301 redirect to/from the www. version of your site. ------ coolswan nice. if I had to guess, in a couple years, google will attempt to acquire blekko to integrate with their webspam team. ------ Rubyred Wow, the search results are terrible on blekko.

We've Spent Billions to Fix Our Medical Records, and They're Still a Mess - prostoalex http://www.motherjones.com/politics/2015/10/epic-systems-judith-faulkner-hitech-ehr-interoperability ====== MDNukem I'm surprised I don't see any comments about the FHIR api here. It's a project seeking to standardize a RESTful api for clinical encounter data that's gaining a fair bit of traction. If the existing EMR companies don't manage to subvert its goals, the problem of data interoperability will be largely solved within the next 5-7 years. ~~~ mindcrime That's the best news I've heard in a while. I was just complaining earlier today, that I hate the way I have to login to so many different EMR systems to look at my medical records, and there's no interop between them, or (mostly) any convenient API to download data. I want record from my GP? FollowMyHealth.com I want records from my cardiologist? UNC's EMR system. I want records from my bariatric doctor? Duke's EMR system. I want records from my dermatologist? Yet another system. I want records from my othopaedist? You guessed it, yet another system. What I want is to be able to put ALL of my medical records, AND my "fitness" information (stuff from Strava, Fitbit, etc.) into one freaking place. This current setup is horrible. :-( ~~~ techdragon The more irritating detail to me is that very few places want your records. Even if you carried your up to date medical records on you in some kind rugged secure flash drive, you're likely to be told "thanks but no thanks" if you suggest any medical professionals should look at them. 9/10 they don't want to look. I know there's lots of valid reasons why so I understand that part, but there's a bigger problem it speaks to. To me the greatest failure of modern medicine is that we have a word full of doctors (specifically, general practitioners) who have no time to stay current in their medical knowledge or to learn anything beyond the superficial details of a patient before pronouncing their diagnosis and moving on. I truly miss having a GP that not only dealt with my medical matters for the first 24 years of my life, but 26 years of both my parents, and close to 20 and 15 years for my siblings as well. There's no way to replace this knowledge now he retired. ~~~ mindcrime Hmm... I haven't encountered that, at least not to that degree. In fact, my cardiologist was happy to get some lipid profile numbers from me, that I read off my phone to him (I had emailed them to myself for safe-keeping) based on my most recent bloodwork done at my GP's office. Likewise, I just started visiting a new internist who specializes in diet/lifestyle who supervises people going on a ketogenic diet. He asked if I had recent bloodwork, and as it happened, I'd just had a physical about two weeks before at my GP's office. So I fired up the "Follow My Health" app on my phone, pulled up the relevant test results and handed him the phone. He took the notes and says "Great, you just avoided having to have blood drawn today". ~~~ hga Ditto. My current GP was _delighted_ when I lent him my copies of my lab work going back to 1996 for him to copy, and when in every visit I give him copies of updated spreadsheets showing the history of the relevant results going back then, one each for PSA and lipids and the like. Asked me to add liver enzymes to the latter after my previous visit revealed they'd spiked, so that he'd have a better picture of what was going on after the two month later followup to that. Any doctor who's not interested in this sort of thing when relevant should be fired on the spot; remember, whatever the "God complex" or the like they require to stay sane making decisions that will inevitably sometimes be wrong and harm or kill a few of their patients, they still work for you. ------ maerF0x0 Given we're 320M people you could say "we've spent billions" on many many things and not solved it. We've spent billions on food this week -- and we're still gonna get hungry! "Billions" is a scary sounding number that doesnt mean much anymore. Show me 10s and 100s of billions. ------ jhulla Coding errors abound in this space. For example, you can go to the CMS.gov to lookup ICD codes.

Which has some "wonderful" codes, e.g. try [https://www.google.com/search?q=icd+10+codes+funny](https://www.google.com/search?q=icd+10+codes+funny) Everyone's unfair favorite is " _V97.33XD: Sucked into jet engine, subsequent encounter._ " Unfair because that doesn't mean you were stupid enough to do that twice, but had to see a doctor after the first visit. " _W55.41XA: Bitten by pig, initial encounter_ " is OK, it happens. But " _W61.62XD: Struck by duck, subsequent encounter_." WTF??? I'm from a hunting family, and I've never heard of smallish birds like ducks harming people in this way. Ditto " _W61.12XA: Struck by macaw, initial encounter_ " and " _W59.22XA: Struck By Turtle_ " (now, being bitten by a big snapping turtle is horrific, but being _struck_ by any turtle???). But this remains the most bizarre of all I've heard: " _V91.07XD: Burn due to water-skis on fire, subsequent encounter._ " OK, at least we can laugh about ICD-10. For now. ~~~ dragonwriter Pretty much every code added to a code set like the ICD is added because someone, somewhere needed it, and didn't have it in the previous version. And ICD-10 codes are used for a variety of purposes -- statistical, billing, etc. -- so if its important for _one_ of those uses, its going to get added. Especially since, with the degree of automation preferred now, if it a distinction could reasonably affect any decision in _any_ of the roles that the code set is used for, it needs to be represented in the code set. ~~~ hga _And ICD-10 codes are used for a variety of purposes -- statistical_ And that's where it goes off the rails, this revision is trying to serve too many masters, in which actual health care is subservient to collection of data for the usual nosy suspects. Did anyone even contemplate the trade-offs? And even then, look at all those codes for bites of fingers. Are you really insisting they will provide anything other than fancy looking statistics for self-important bureaucrats? ~~~ dragonwriter > And even then, look at all those codes for bites of fingers. Are you really > insisting they will provide anything other than fancy looking statistics for > self-important bureaucrats? While I don't know the history of the particular codes, a lot of the hyperspecific codes are driven by needs of insurance payers (public and private) and their desire to incorporate elements that would otherwise be identified in (comparatively costly) non-automated review and provide the necessary resolution in coding that they can be identified and distinguished without that review and the associated cost. Driving down that area of administrative costs is a different thing than providing fancy looking statistics for self-important bureaucrats. ~~~ CountSessine _non-automated review and provide the necessary resolution in coding that they can be identified and distinguished without that review and the associated cost._ What type of _review_ \- automated or manual - requires the categorical specificity of distinguishing between 359+ different types of marginally varying finger trauma from bites? This is just madness. That anyone would even suggest that that level of specificity was even useful, never mind required, is bureaucratic madness. Step back from the tree and you can see the forest burning. ~~~ jjm Believe it or not, these codes are used to define contracts and aid in payment all the way from patient to broker. ~~~ hga So, pretend I'm a doctor and tell me, will I get paid more for _S61.354D Open bite of right ring finger with damage to nail, subsequent encounter_ Or _S61.355D Open bite of left ring finger with damage to nail, subsequent encounter_ ??? And with such specificity, why include this code: _S61.359D: Open bite of unspecified finger with damage to nail, subsequent encounter_ I'm assuming "other finger" is the one between your little and middle ones, and we'll all sleep easier knowing that, while not found with jhulla's search, your left and right thumbs have not been neglected. ~~~ dragonwriter Generally, you don't get paid an amount for a diagnosis, you get paid for the services you bill. Whether a payer accepts that the specific services you billed for are medically appropriate and thus pays them depends, often, on the diagnosis they are treating. (And, often, there are three possibilities: the payer pays the claim directly, or the payer requires additional supporting documentation which is manually reviewed before making a decision, or the payer denies payment outright.) The more detail diagnostic coding provides (and, for that matter, the more detail _procedure_ coding provides), the more an automated system can move cases that would otherwise be in the manual review category (which adds costs for all parties, and delays) to an automated decision (which is quicker and cheaper for all parties.) ------ Floegipoky Athenahealth, the company I work for, makes cloud-based medical systems with a heavy focus on user experience and interoperability.

Neat stuff! ------ sgarg26 Many hospitals went sold significant assets (like office building - assuring guaranteed rent) or took on loans to fund their EMR purchases. Hence, deals with these dollar amounts are tough to reproduce for many hospitals. Epic has made major strides in supporting connectivity between EMRs. Partially, through standards like direct - [http://directproject.org/](http://directproject.org/). This problem will be largely solved in three to five years. Actually, a growing number of geographic regions of the US already have seamless EMR records exchange ~~~ CCs From the DirectProject blog, on 08/11/2011: "Moving on... It's been a fantastic ride" ------ angersock I've ranted elsewhere on this topic...but it's far, far worse than anybody realizes, and there is no incentive to make things better for patients. Every other factor is literally stacked against them. ~~~ sachinag Yes. However! Government regulation could cut the knot. If HHS mandated standards for data at rest - since we never got a DICOM for charts like we did for images - the companies would have to write translates. When that happens, vendor lock in goes away and fewer people die. ~~~ angersock Mandating a single, simple standard for medical purposes would probably be the best thing that they could do. I just don't have a lot of faith in it ever happening. ------ methehack If you're interested in US Healthcare, I can recommend "The Healing of America: A Global Quest for Better, Cheaper, and Fairer Health Care". I was surprised to learn that France, for example, has private doctors, private hospitals, and private insurance companies (gee, somehow thought they had 'socialized medicine'). It spends half what the US does per capita and is ranked #1 by the WHO (the US is ranked #37, just behind Costa Rica). How do the French do it? Well, it's not that hard. All other developed nations using the Bismarck Model (like the US, feel free to google that or any of this) have a few structural differences from the US. The first is a particularly obvious one: insurance companies are non-profit (though privately held and operated). Fees are entirely standardized and printed for all to see ("reference pricing", structurally like medicare/aid). Doctors and hospitals make a lot less money (Doctors drive volvos not porsches). Doctors don't pay for medical school. Claims are never denied. Doctors are rarely sued. Doctors are paid very quickly (3-14 days). I'm not making this up. In essence, the system squeezes all of its players to be as efficient as possible. In the US, the exact opposite is true. Most of the players are incentivized to drive costs up. A private FOR PROFIT insurance company (which no other developed nation allows) by definition wants to suck all the money it can from the system and pay none of it out (to wit: when an insurance company pays a claim, it is called a "medical loss"). Hospitals are in an arms raise of acquisitions (to better negotiate with insurance companies) and over-built, fancy facilities (to attract patients and justify the exorbitant costs). Doctors start their professional career by having to pay off huge student loans. Insurance companies, hospitals, and (to a much lesser extent) doctors collude, in effect, to steal money from all the other employers out there (in insurance premiums) and from patients (co-pays, denied claims, and an ever- growing number of out of pocket expenses). None of this is the fault of insurance companies, hospitals, or doctors. It is entirely the fault of our incompetent no-account and utterly failed political system. US healthcare is corrupt because the US political system is corrupt. To fix it, we need to fix that. Entrepreneurs cannot fix US healthcare in the current regulatory environment. The incentives are completely wrong. EDIT: added a missed "system" after a "political". EDIT2: I forget to mention the most relevant piece. The French, since 1998, have had 'La Carte Vitale'. It is an electronic medical record they carry around with them. Every doctor's office has a reader. It is a government standard, government owner, and government operated. Epic makes money by _NOT_ sharing its data if it can get away with it. Switching costs are its friend. It's called 'vendor lock in' and its why the government should be doing this small piece of it. It's like building an interstate highway. It lets commerce happen. ------ ddw Definitely not a fan of Epic but the article could have mentioned this: [https://open.epic.com](https://open.epic.com) ------ raverbashing So, what's the most common standard for PHR information? I've only heard of HL7 which is basically paying money for a bunch of XSDs (of course) ~~~ methehack If I understand your question, probably a CCDA. I think the real problem is no system has a reliably comprehensive picture. After that, it is challenging to find a reliable global patient identifier. Epic says they have the health records of 175M americans. I would say they have parts of records of 175M americans and probably a lot of dupes. ~~~ cordite Given that these numbers are individually sourced from customers, customers own their own data, and all interchange is P2P--there's not a good way to really count. Customers own their range of member-numbers as well. Plus, the whole thing about identity is even more difficult, you can't go by name, SSN, and DOB alone. As far as I know, HL7 is mostly used between internal systems within an organization. For sending actual patient data, allergies, conditions, CCDA is usually used for communication with non-Epic EMRs belonging to other organizations. As an aside, CCDA and HL7 don't support rich data well, so they usually end up as base64 encoded PDFs. ------ bossmojoman This is allowing companies like Kno2 to make quick inroads into the space though.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }

Well, at least not with voting. That was not the point though; governments are not doing the stuff they do without reason; there is a reason. It's just not what you would expect and hope from something as massive as a government. ------ forgotusername I wonder how the German data protection office might respond if they realized Google probably have the largest database of images in the world, is trying to put cameras in everyone's glasses, and already owns 2 face recognition companies (Neven Vision, Pittpatt) ~~~ mike-cardwell The tone of your comment implies that you think that Germany is targetting Facebook unfairly. Read up on what happened with Google Street View in Germany. This is not a German issue anyway. It's an EU issue. And the problem is companies compiling data on users without their permission (opt out rather than opt in). If users aren't willing to opt in to your data collection, then you're not offering something worth the trade. Facebook and Google rely on peoples ignorance to make money. ~~~ thirdsun I can't talk for the rest of the EU but in Germany privacy issues tend to get blown out of proportion - the media coverage during the street view controversy was rather ridiculous. Average, non-technical people almost thought Google would drive through their backyards. It's ok to disagree with Google's and Facebook's behaviour and it's ok to take measures but I wish the media would focus on balanced and objective coverage, educating people rather than calling for drama and hysteria. ~~~ alexqgb "In Germany privacy issues tend to get blown out of proportion." Gosh, I wonder why? I mean, what is it about German history - in particular - that would trigger such powerful negative reactions to the technical foundations of a surveillance state? Hummm.... Nope, no idea. ~~~ jsemrau I don't think this is necessarily related to the Third Reich, but more about common sense. How much should a private company with the reach of Facebook and Google should collect about their users? ~~~ ianstormtaylor Well how do you think common sense is formed? Seems like years of Nazi and Soviet control would push common sense in that direction. ~~~ jsemrau Germany had a green party movement from the early 80s. ~~~ alexqgb You mean West Germany. We're talking about East Germany. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/West_Germany> <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/East_Germany> ------ Irishsteve If I remember correctly you ran the risk of having your Facebook account closed if you made a freedom of information request via it's Irish subsidiary for all that paper work linked to your account. Therefore I'd imagine a similar response will be generated by FB if they are forced to comply with the latest complaint. ~~~ rmc _if you made a freedom of information request_ Clarification, in Ireland "Freedom of Information" is for government bodies. It's "Data Protection" law (which is the personal data of you held by anyone, government & private companies) ~~~ Irishsteve Thanks! ------ chmod775 Why can't Germany just raid the Facebook HQ in the US for violating local law? Isn't that essentially the same that the US did at the dotcom mansion? ~~~ rmc That's not what happened. Kim Dotcom was arrested by NZ police. Just about all extradition treaties require "double criminality", where the person is extradited on a thing that's a crime in both countries. The USA does not have these data protection laws, so the USA is highly unlike to extradite to a country where that's illegal. ~~~ veb I'm pretty sure that Kim Dotcom hasn't broken any NZ laws. Only a law in the USA. That's why the whole case is really borked. ~~~ sanxiyn I am not sure. I agree that while copyright is governed by international agreements, this case probably falls outside of what is agreed. I don't think safe harbor provisions are harmonized across jurisdictions. ------ rmc Twas quite clever of Facebook to set up in Ireland (and not just for the 12½% corporation tax rate). It can be a large employer in a small fish, and the Irish government is desparate to be seen to be doing something about jobs (hence any job losses from a household name would be very embarassing). As a result, I wouldn't be too suprised if some squeeze was placed on the Data Protection Office. "Oh you want more funding... Well..." I wonder if this is one of the reasons the EU wants to overhaul the Data Protection law so that EU citizens can complain to their national data protection office, not just the one the company is in. ~~~ aggronn Not wrong, but Facebook is hardly the only big fish in Ireland. Most large US corporations locate their European HQs there. ~~~ sanxiyn Indeed. Google's European HQ is in Ireland too. ~~~ rmc Many others have large offices and employ lots of people, like Oracle, and (what was) Sun, and IBM and Intel. ~~~ madrona Don't forget MS. ------ gioele «database of faces collected in Germany» "Collected in Germany". It is nice to see how politics and law keep applying physical verbs to non-physical infrastructure. If you ask around you will see that there are almost as many definition of "done XXX in contry YYY" as the number of country out there: some national law see it as "the client is in YYY", other as "the server is in YYY", other as "the infrastructure is in YYY", other as "both the client and the server are in YYY" and so on. It is very hard to be a law-abiding citizen or business on the Internet when there are heaps of contrasting laws. ------ danso I just don't see how FB _currently_ gets that much value out of its facial recognition DB. As far as I can tell, as an end-user, it makes it easier to tag people because FB will suggest named tags (sometimes hilariously wrong). But this is a minor convenience. If I really do want to tag a photo, then I'm already in a curation mindset and willing to put up with the precious second it takes to type in the first two-three characters of a friend's name. At this point, FB, with those two characters, has enough information to make a 95% accurate guess...because it also has my entire history of interactions with friends, including all past tagging behavior. It obviously can derive a prediction that weights more recent tagging behavior (on the premise that I'm likely to have hung out with the same friends as I did last week)...and bingo, by the time I've typed the third character, Facebook has it narrowed down to the right person. So why even bother keeping the facial recognition data? ...I'm not so naive to think that there aren't other applications of this facial-recognition data. I'm just pointing out that FB has nearly all the non- visual data needed to guess who is in a photo without applying any computer- vision techniques. And that non-visual data (the history of a user's interactions) has way more predictive value on behavior than a facial-recognition DB... So given that the general public is more disturbed by things relating to physical appearance, if I were FB, I'd just give up this fight and carry on collecting all the non- visual data that they have so far. __* edit: Along the same lines...this decision seems to be based on how FB collected this data without users explicit consent. Well, under this argument, doesn't FB collect interaction data without user consent? Say my friend Bob continually posts on my wall, pokes me, sends me direct messages, etc. FB, without my consent, will have enough interaction data to peg me as Bob's special confidante...without any interaction on my part. Isn't this the complaint with the face data? That my friends can tag my face and thus give FB a decent idea of my appearance? Well, my friends can also give FB a decent idea of my preferences in a variety of arenas by how they converse and interact with me...so if opt-in is the issue, isn't _all_ of FB data up for destruction? ~~~ tonfa > Along the same lines...this decision seems to be based on how FB collected > this data without users explicit consent. Well, under this argument, doesn't > FB collect interaction data without user consent? Biometric data is usually a much more touchy subject than anything else. But yes there are also people who think that interaction data (logs) collection should be opt-in. ------ RexRollman Sometimes I wonder if the US Government will somehow use Facebook photos to track people, even if they themselves don't have a Facebook account. I find the idea of something like that creepy. ------ spoiledtechie Ive said it once, twice and many other times. I do believe Germany is probably by far one of the most advanced political governments there are. I so welcome their input and applaud their effort! ------ salimmadjd Every database out there can be used for evil. Whether if it's facial fingerprint or anything else. I never liked Face.com and facebook's decision to buy them. The ability of a photograph being used to track me anywhere there is a camera is not the future I want to be part of. ------ mike_ivanov Or else! ------ andyl I don't like the Facebook facial recognition thing either. Or when someone tags me on photos that they have uploaded. I think its creepy when someone else posts my photo, then I start getting comments on it. This should be opt- in, not opt-out. ~~~ andrewpi I believe you can set permissions so that you have to approve any photo that is tagged with you in it. ~~~ SwaroopH They quietly removed that option and now only allow you to restrict it from your timeline (requires you to approve). You still need to manually _remove_ the tag. Annoying. ~~~ tsieling Of course it's annoying. Facebook wants you to feel pain whenever you try to manage your own social presence in a way they can't monetize. ------ hastur Of course they realize that the NSA already has a full copy? You might think: so what, I'm not a terrorist. But think twice, because people opposing US interests (and the interests of some of the most powerful lobbies, like MPAA & RIAA) are increasingly being afforded the treatment you'd expect for a terror suspect. ~~~ philwelch > But think twice, because people opposing US interests (and the interests of > some of the most powerful lobbies, like MPAA & RIAA) are increasingly being > afforded the treatment you'd expect for a terror suspect. [citation needed] ~~~ ta12121 kim dotcom raid? ~~~ philwelch Nope. Kim Dotcom was arrested by NZ police to face extradition hearings. He's been released on bail and hasn't even left New Zealand, much less been spirited away to CIA black sites or detained at Guantanamo Bay or declared an illegal enemy combatant or brought before a military tribunal or denied access to legal counsel. Whatever problems there are with his arrest and the searches and seizures that took place with it, they're following the exact same procedures they would for any extradition case, nothing like the procedures used for terror suspects. ~~~ ta12121 Why do you need a SWAT team to arrest someone for copyright infringement? Great great grandparent used the words _increasingly_ and _expect_ , not simply _are_. ~~~ philwelch 90% of the time a SWAT team is used, you don't need a SWAT team. Overzealous law enforcement is a problem, but it's a problem that predates, and is largely separate from, the even-more-exceptional counterterrorism measures. It's not useful to conflate the two issues. Kim Dotcom wasn't "treated as a terror suspect" any more than the "don't tase me bro" kid. Not to say that it isn't an issue, just not the same issue.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Computers Are The Future, But Does Everyone Need To Code? - Taurenking http://www.npr.org/2014/01/25/266162832/computers-are-the-future-but-does-everyone-need-to-code?live=1 ====== frostmatthew I agree with Jeff Atwood's car analogy (everyone who drives shouldn't be a mechanic) but I think it's beneficial to learn to code even if you never have a practical need/use for it. Much like we teach subjects such as history and biology without the expectation every student will become a historian or biologist (or have a practical use for what they learned in those classes), we should teach programming for the indirect (not sure that's the best word) benefits. It's a different way to think and to view things (abstraction), it teaches problem solving skills (debugging), good learning habits (what to commit to memory and what to know you can look up), and attention to detail (wow, missing a semicolon did that!). ~~~ Taurenking I agree to a certain degree...Yet I find that cases like trying to teach programming to kids still in junior schools or using a kickstarter to publish yet another book (yes I'm looking at you ruby girl), is taking things to extreme... ~~~ gonewest I don't see how learning programming is beyond the ability of a younger child, provided the syllabus and the style of teaching is developmentally appropriate. I've seen elementary school kids mess around in Scratch and (without necessarily knowing this is what professionals call these concepts) they are learning about basic program flow, iterators, conditionals, event handlers, Cartesian coordinate systems, etc. Not to mention basic literacy, such as how to type, use the mouse, drawing sprites, recording audio, what it means to "save" versus "save as..." etc. At the end of the day this is literacy, and just like music class doesn't make everybody Mozart, programming class won't make everybody Knuth or Stroustrup. But it's still worth doing because everybody deserves to understand how to think about and interact with the world around them.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
How Facebook Copes with Scale: Three Approaches - Katydid http://www.theplatform.net/2015/09/18/three-secrets-of-how-facebook-copes-with-scale/ ====== merb I always wondered how much power could be saved if those platforms would be implemented nearer to the metal. I mean I don't want to flame PHP, etc.. but I think running at the scale of Facebook it will definitely matter which language you use, especially in the matter of computing power, I mean Facebook could throw enough people at anything so the choice of language shouldn't be a problem. That's why I don't get it, why they wrote Hack/etc. When I would be Facebook I would've tried to write something like JPHP where PHP could run on top of the JVM, since that introduces way more languages like Scala, Groovy, Java itself. However they gone from PHP to their self hosted language where it will even be hard to find developers when Hack won't grow. ~~~ gt565k Check out whats app's architecture "Our results have demonstrated the fantastic scalability of Erlang, and in this talk we will share some of the discoveries and modifications we have made along the path to supporting millions of connected users per server.

If you're _adding_ 40 PB of photos per day, and if you can somehow get say $0.01/GB [1] then that's adding $400,000 per day in storage costs. Facebook doesn't/can't/won't delete photos so how on earth is this sustainable? After 10-20 years wouldn't hosting costs just be too high to function? [1] Aaverage cost per GB in 2014 was $0.03: [http://www.statisticbrain.com/average-cost-of-hard-drive- sto...](http://www.statisticbrain.com/average-cost-of-hard-drive-storage/) ~~~ daigoba66 At scale it must get cheaper.

I guess that's one way to sugarcoat the fact that you're at the mercy of Facebook being timely in fixing bugs here… ~~~ nikanj They are not at the mercy of Facebook at all. They have access to all of the source, and all the build tools too. People don't remember what it's like, praying to dear gods that Microsoft patches that IIS bug before you lose your last customers. ~~~ giancarlostoro This right here. I hope companies stop fearing contributing to React / React Native (and ANY open source project they rely enough on). I think companies that make plenty of revenue off of certain open source projects should invest resources into said projects. If you patched some part of the project, contribute it back! It will only benefit you in the long run instead of running frankenforks of the code, and ultimately if it gets abandoned, offer to continue to maintain it! I wish more companies would give developers about 10% of their time to develop things they think would benefit the company, whether it's internal tools or open source projects they rely on (or building new things). Just give devs every Friday or every other Friday with free reign to code or learn new things. Ah well... If the projects they rely on stop being maintained they just suck it up and let it foster eternally till forced to migrate. Dear Discord: Your bread and butter seems to rely upon React / React Native. It's an open source project, pay your employees to contribute to it! ~~~ victoriasun Hi! I'm from Discord and we _do_ contribute to React/React Native! I have to say it's quite an adventure to dig through React Native's issue tracker only to find that your CTO's PR has been merged :P ~~~ giancarlostoro That's good to know, thanks for the context, didn't mean to assume just wasn't sure, been so busy at work today so hadn't read the whole article yet. That does sound pretty awesome! I hope more companies do contributions like you guys do. Facebook kickstarted the project, doesn't mean they will run it forever, eventually the torch must be carried by the community. ~~~ victoriasun No worries! We actually didn't highlight it in the post :P I just find it such a cool fun fact that I wish we talked about it more. ------ ryanjodonnell I predict there will be another blog post in about 18 months from discord about "Why we moved away from React Native" ~~~ mrkcsc Well it’s been three years so far - we shall see :P I know this comment is a joke but in all seriousness even if we did move away I think it would still mean we got several years of great utility out of the framework. No tech lasts forever and it’s important to be open to change as well as being mindful to not chase the latest trend - as in all things, balance is key. ------ mrkcsc Hi all, Discord engineer here! If anyone has any questions about the post or our experience using React/React Native the team would be happy to answer them! ~~~ jamesgeck0 The post says, "it’s roughly 1.5s startup delay to load a 15mb bundle on an iPhone X." I've seen startup latency much slower than that on my iPhone SE. In the best case, the application takes about six seconds to cold boot when I tap on a notification. Sometimes it's closer to fifteen or twenty seconds if the app sits on the "connecting" screen for a while. It's difficult to understate how much slower the app feels than everything else on my phone. ~~~ nikanj The X is the most expensive iPhone you can buy right now, and the SE is the cheapest. Too bad engineers practically always have the top-end models, so they don't really have to dogfood the everyday pain of using the slower devices. ~~~ victoriasun Actually I don't own an iPhone X :P Our core user base tends to use 6 and above (approx 2 generations behind) and we dogfood regularly with a huge group of beta testers (thousands) with a huge range of hardware. We try our best to make sure the average use case is considered. ~~~ Dylan16807 Considering the average is good but it still pushes the performance treadmill forward. If we had some magical way to make the dev treadmill run slower than the user treadmill, we'd see better architectures in many cases. In that alternate world it would be easy to precompile the javascript and load 20 times faster. ------ nacho2sweet I quit Facebook lately and moved to Discord for my group chats, cause we already had the channels from gaming. It is good, but we all have trouble with the notifications. (this has nothing to do with react native but you are here and this is a gripe). Like if you have it running on a computer it doesn't come to your phone. So we have tons of miss-communication for stuff like "yo I am drinking near your house meet- up". Discord just sits running all the time on your PC, which for most is running all the time. So I stopped using it for time sensitive messages which sucks. I would never dare use it for a "Hey I am buzzing outside your house answer". You literally have no idea where the notification for the person is going to go. FB-Messenger never had this issue. ~~~ brightball Basically just needs idle tracking. ~~~ Klover It does have that. No idea why it wouldn't work for GP. If I lock my computer, or don't look at the Discord tab for a few minutes, my phone gets notifications. ~~~ Kratisto Just to add my experience, I feel like it's hit or miss. It seems like I get notifications with zero issues. Then I'll randomly have a week or two in a row where I don't get notifications or get 50% of them. Not sure why this happens, but I use Discord as my only means of contact with multiple people. ~~~ Klover Interesting. For what it's worth I am using Discord on Mac Safari (not TP), Win Chrome 69 (dev channel), and iOS. In one year I have not had any of the issues mentioned above. Perhaps using the desktop app can introduce problems. ~~~ nacho2sweet Yeah it just doesn't work well for me or my friends we are always complaining. I don't know why and I don't really want to have nerd out with my chat app (just want it to work!). As for using Slack, I am too scared of dropping 3am Friday/Saturday messages in my work chat instead of my group chat so keep separate apps. ------ Ologn The usual idea I hear is that React Native might be a good idea for a small company with an uncomplicated app, especially if they use the React stack on the web. However when one grows and starts competing head to head in the App Store or Google Play with the other top social or finance or music or whatever apps, the ones who have expert teams with familiarity with the specific Android or iOS platform will pull ahead. Particularly as you can still have a (mostly) common REST API backend, base things off the same design mockups with some modifications, and so on. ~~~ victoriasun Discord is actually an extremely complex app and run almost entirely off React Native, with 2 engineers, only 1 of which who is an iOS expert :P! We have millions of users, and we typically rank in the top 10 of Social Networking on the iOS App Store. We are excited to share our success story of being a "big" company using such a product. ~~~ jrumbut I was very surprised to hear discord used RN because I found that I had to break down and use native code to deal with a lot of multimedia and a few other things that aren't just displaying text. I still loved RN, I just maybe naively hoped I could do everything with it. Is that your experience too, that a good bit of native code is required (with RN serving as glue and handling simple screens), or have you avoided that somehow? ~~~ victoriasun Personally I have found that RN does require some amount of native platform knowledge to be successful. However, the bulk of our app is actually in React Native. The times we've had to bridge into native is mostly around our voice modules or things that, in RN, were not very performant (like poor list performance) or required synchronous updates (like the keyboard problem mentioned in the post). Certain multimedia objects RN doesn't support out of the box but the community has come to the rescue (ie: [https://github.com/cornedor/react-native-video- player](https://github.com/cornedor/react-native-video-player) for video). ~~~ QualityReboot I agree with all of this, but I'd add that bridging RN to Native is not as scary as it sounds. Check out the code examples: [https://facebook.github.io/react- native/docs/native-modules-...](https://facebook.github.io/react- native/docs/native-modules-ios) In practice, most of it is wrapping "RCT_EXPORT_METHOD" around native code and importing it into JS. Even if you had to write half the app in native code (which you won't), you're still far ahead of having to write it all in native code on both platforms. ~~~ laex Agreed. Creating bridging modules aren't that complicated. For anyone interested, I've linked a sample of a bridging module from my open-source project, for both IOS and Android. See [0] & [1] The bridge creates an interface between an embedded webserver to react native. Things to note: 1\. Always dispatch bridging methods to their own threads. On IOS you can do this via. dispatch_async. On Android, you can utilise native threads or some kind of task management library. I like Bolts [2]. 2\. Always create bridging methods that resolve promises. This makes it easy to utilise async / await paradigm on the JS side. [0] Android: [https://github.com/hemantasapkota/react-native-web- server/tr...](https://github.com/hemantasapkota/react-native-web- server/tree/master/android/app/src/main/java/com/reactnativewebserver/AppWebServer) [1] IOS: [https://github.com/hemantasapkota/react-native-web- server/tr...](https://github.com/hemantasapkota/react-native-web- server/tree/master/ios/ReactNativeWebServer/AppWebServer) [2] Bolts: [https://github.com/BoltsFramework/Bolts- Android](https://github.com/BoltsFramework/Bolts-Android) ------ sandGorgon Love discord..but their email notifications are a problem. There are no fine grained controls and once unsubscribed, you can never re-subscribe. Would have loved to use discord at work, but in developing countries... network connectivity is not always a given. ------ joeblau This post is interesting because at the bottom, Discord is soliciting for engineers. Gabriel Peal from AirBnB came and gave a talk at our company a few weeks ago and he shared at after AirBnB published their 5 part medium series[1], they got a huge flood of mobile developer resumes. [1] - [https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/sunsetting-react- nativ...](https://medium.com/airbnb-engineering/sunsetting-react- native-1868ba28e30a) ~~~ hamms I feel like it's far more unusual to see a blog post from a tech company that _doesn't_ end with them soliciting for engineers. ~~~ joeblau Yeah. I guess my point is that they are trying to get web/mobile engineers, but the data from AirBnB shows that the opposite of this post is what _actually_ attracts mobile engineers. ~~~ mathw What AirBnB showed is that there are a load of mobile engineers out there who don't want to work with React Native. What Discord might show is that there are also a load of mobile engineers out there who do. Personally I find it baffling why anybody would choose to work with anything based on JavaScript (I'm grumpy enough about having to work with something as primitive and loosely-typed as C#, so I find JavaScript an endless horror show), but there are people sitting right near me in my office who work on frontend web code all day and chose to do that and actually enjoy it. So really, I guess I'm saying we're all different. And that's a good thing, because there are lots of different jobs we need to get done to keep all these systems running. ------ haney What tool/service/library are you using for OTA updates? Could you share any best practices around managing the roll out (do you push to everyone, a subset, etc.)? ~~~ victoriasun Hi! Not Fanghao but another Discord iOS engineer. We wrote our own library for OTA updates but React Native Code Push ([https://github.com/Microsoft/react- native-code-push](https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-code-push)) is a pretty reasonable out of the box solution. Because our OTA solution is designed for hotfixing issues rather than feature releases we push to everyone, and we also have a flag that forces our users to relaunch the app if the bug is app breaking. ~~~ saagarjha How do you comply with Apple's App Store Review Guidelines when using this (specifically, this clause): 2.5.2 Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps. Also, > we also have a flag that forces our users to relaunch the app if the bug is > app breaking How do you do this? ~~~ victoriasun Apple allows updates to Javascript outside of the review process as long as it subscribes to certain guidelines (1), including but not limited to: not changing core feature functionality, being limited to bug fixes, and also that the app doesn't provide unlimited access to native SDK or system functions. React Native provides a limited API to js code so it's fine. As far as your second question, we simply deploy store logic that loads a Modal telling our users that they must relaunch the app. [1] [https://microsoft.github.io/code- push/faq/index.html#1-does-...](https://microsoft.github.io/code- push/faq/index.html#1-does-the-apple-app-store-allow-developers-to-perform- these-types-of-updates) ~~~ saagarjha How do you convey "relaunch the app" to your users? I'm sure many of them think that pressing the home button is the same as killing your app. ~~~ victoriasun Since OTA updates can _only_ impact JS, we can offer a button that essentially calls something like `window.refresh` and it reloads the JS bundle within the container. We actually recently leveraged ErrorBoundaries in React 16 to do something similar in our app as well. ------ babaganoosh89 For comparison how many engineers does it take to make the native Android app? ~~~ mrkcsc The core Android team is four engineers so about double in size. This makes some sense since on Android we have to re-write most of the stores/business logic and not just UI. We have modeled the architecture similarly to things on the Desktop/iOS side so we still are able to move fast and stay lean as a team. ~~~ Klathmon Can you expand/clarify on what you mean by "on Android we have to re-write most of the stores/business logic and not just UI"? ~~~ mrkcsc The iOS application can safely pull data and perform actions from just about every Store (we don't use redux but the idea is the same [https://redux.js.org/api-reference/store](https://redux.js.org/api- reference/store)) and Action Handler ([https://reactjs.org/docs/handling- events.html](https://reactjs.org/docs/handling-events.html)) that exists in the main Discord React application. So if one is writing a feature that say allows one to ban a user - they don't need to write any of the banning logic or worry about fetching the user data/validating it against server roles permissions - if it exists on the main Discord app, it can be safely imported. Other helpful examples are perhaps things like markdown parsing - iOS was able to just import and use the exact same system desktop uses to handle markdown and things like user/channel mentions, custom emoji, etc. On Android we had to write one ourselves: [https://blog.discordapp.com/how-discord-renders-rich- message...](https://blog.discordapp.com/how-discord-renders-rich-messages-on- the-android-app-67b0e5d56fbe) On Android since there is no code re-use everything had to be written from scratch. ~~~ Klathmon Oh, I missed that the Android version isn't React Native. ------ mhartl _The Discord iOS app has millions of daily active users and 4.8 stars with over 240k ratings. This has all been accomplished with a team of two engineers!_ This is impressive. ------ oh-kumudo > small and mighty team Says it all. It is all about cost. ~~~ mrkcsc It's not about cost, it's about impact. The team - myself included - works normal eight hour days and there is no "crunch time" (other than very rarely when we have external dependencies like when we launched our Spotify integration). As an engineer we all want to have agency and be able to make impactful decision on the products we work on. Over-hiring too quickly is often what can lead to organizational bloat and can make things get built _slower_. Instead, I think it's better to grow slowly, hire great people, and only hire when it's needed. I've found that as a company, staying small has made us always ask ourselves to make tradeoffs and constantly be thinking about what are the most important and impactful things we can be working on. ~~~ oh-kumudo Well, keeping a small team is a choice, and the technology decision follows. What works for you guys works. I am not debating whether it is a good one or bad one. ~~~ mrkcsc Thats true, I appreciate the discussion and the clarification. ------ driverdan RE Android, are you saying that React Native Android is still bad? If so, why hasn't it been improved? ~~~ mrkcsc It's less that it's bad (in my opinion) and more that on Android you have a _much_ wider range of hardware to support ranging from quite new and recent, to basically ancient almost flip phone level. I am hoping that in the future something like React Fiber ([https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV1271hd9ew](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aV1271hd9ew)) will make its way to React Native and unlock a new level of performance. ------ KirinDave I wonder if, one day, Discord will get around to fixing the fact that once you have more than 3 channels and get a notification in more than one, your mobile notifications do not go to "newest" they go to the "channel highest on the sidebar". This is why I really hate tools like react native. They try and create a code symmetry and that's not unreasonable, but then they go too far and create behavioral symmetry and that's pretty much unacceptable for as wide a gulf as browser apps and mobile apps. They have such radically different use cases. ~~~ victoriasun Actually, behavioral symmetry is not an issue with React Native so much as its an issue with poor UX design. Nothing about RN mandates that the apps behave similarly. That the iOS app and the desktop app look and behave similarly is simply a design choice made by the team to maintain a consistent look/feel/UX across the apps, not RN itself. We do not share Views. All Views across all the apps are custom. However, as Discord's mobile teams grow and expand we're exploring alternative UX designs that are significantly more mobile friendly. So your feedback is heard loud and clear at HQ :) ~~~ KirinDave > Actually, behavioral symmetry is not an issue with React Native so much as > its an issue with poor UX design. Nothing about RN mandates that the apps > behave similarly. I think the economics of RN strongly do though. Why would you use RN if you aren't planning to reuse code between environments? ~~~ victoriasun We do reuse code. To be clear, a traditional "React app" typically consists of these pieces: \+ view/UI layer \+ flux/redux stores \+ data fetching and processing \+ action creators \+ utility libraries (date functions, markdown processor, etc) The economics of RN allows us to share the last 4. However, sharing the first is actually more or less impossible without tooling like react-native-web as the components that exist on a native iOS app and the components that exist in HTML are just different. Certainly you can argue that sharing this much business logic would necessitate that the UI layer looks all the same, but I fundamentally disagree. That is like saying that because all your clients use the same API, they all must look the same. ~~~ KirinDave I guess there is an implicit value judgement here that React+Redux's approach is desirable for your team, so that motivates using utility libraries not optimized for the constrained environment and a FRP framework with those characteristics. ~~~ victoriasun Yes, this is 100% correct. That being said you can also create a React app using FRP framework such as Cycle JS and share exactly the same amount of code that I've listed above. Our team has chosen to go the React/Redux approach; I would argue that as an untyped language Javascript is unsuitable for FRP in the first place, despite FRP's advantages in handling reactive UI. ------ superplussed After starting to use RN for iOS, did you adapt the web app to use react- native-web? ~~~ victoriasun No, we do not share Views with web. All view logic is custom on each platform. \- a Discord iOS engineer ------ HNNewer Yeah, keeping a fork of it does the trick, but it means you have to watch your back from React's unstable APIs, changing too fast	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Language Matters - Thoughts on the Rspec debate - danielmorrison http://collectiveidea.com/blog/archives/2011/04/15/language-matters/ ====== AndrewO First off, I think this is pretty well-reasoned. This part struck me as interesting: "I believe tests should be written in the language most natural for the problem... I have never coded my way through a surfing session." To take that a step farther, we usually don't write prose-form descriptions of surfing sessions either. Following that, it seems the language most natural to describe a user interacting with an application through a browser is a straight recording of clicks and form interactions (if I understand correctly, this is what Selenium IDE tries to accomplish, although I've had problems with that particular tool), rather than Cucumber's descriptions, which compared to that, are more like code. This is why I abandoned Cucumber: it seemed to be another way of writing code and left me on the wrong side of the gap between specification and actual interaction. I don't fault anyone who has found it to be valuable—as the poster said, it's possible to write good tests with any tool. Choose one you like. ~~~ 3am Surprised that the Robot framework didn't come up here. Cucumber's domains specific business language approach is great to when you have a larger group of people, and you want to give non-technical staff (product managers) a way to write tests directly instead of requirement documents. Ideally it provides the non-technical people a vocabulary to describe a test, and mapping that vocabulary to the AUT is up to a test engineer. Selenium can be that lower level of implementation for cucumber, or can describe the test cases itself. As you noted, Selenium provides a simplifying api for DOM parsing and JS execution, which is a pretty reasonable language for describing a test (if not a little low level and requiring the technical chops that cucumber seeks to avoid). Robot allows the test designer to compound low level actions into higher level ones in a way that is transparent. I think it strikes a pretty good compromise between high level (cucumber) and low level (direct Selenium API calls). TL;DR'ing myself: you last paragraph makes me think you'd like the robot framework. ~~~ glenjamin Do bear in mind that just writing tests using business language in cucumber doesn't make then run. You still have to use some sort of test library underneath it to power the steps. In my current work I'm using the selenium API to do this, which hopefully is creating readable tests which re-use test execution code that makes updating them to UI changes far easier than just using a recording tool. ~~~ 3am Oh, I know, I just was trying to highlight that the underlying library (as far as I know cucumber) is opaque when defining the test, where in robot it's a little less so. Separately, since you're familiar with it - does cucumber allow you to compose new actions from existing actions? I had a longer post and pared it back... I actually think both frameworks are good in different situations, it just depends how the company is structured and what kind of QA group you have. FWIW, I have done QA for 11 years, mostly doing automation. ------ jonmc12 Nice article.. some examples would be helpful in understanding the author's thesis. "I believe tests should be written in the language most natural for the problem" - I agree with this. However, to assume natural language is the most fit expression I believe is a jump. Natural language is laden in ambiguity to the point where it misses out on creating specifications in a concise way. I tend to drift towards the field of thought that BDD should be used to constrain the spec - purposely eliminating ambiguity. I think this is the real opportunity in BDD. This article ([http://blog.objectmentor.com/articles/2008/11/27/the- truth-a...](http://blog.objectmentor.com/articles/2008/11/27/the-truth-about- bdd)) illustrates the point well - making BDD specs analogous with a DSL described by finite state machines. "(BDD) connects the human concept of cause and effect, to the software concept of input/process/output". So, in this sense using BDD tools like cucumber for expressing natural language can possibly bypass the opportunity to constrain the spec by using constrained natural language or DSLs that best describe the problem domain more explicitly. ------ davidw > the killer feature is the ability to frame the problem in a natural > language. That thought has a long and troubled history in the world of computers, and I'm not very convinced by it in terms of Cucumber.	{ "pile_set_name": "HackerNews" }
Australian Bank Anonymizes and Releases Billions of Records - estromlund http://peoplelikeu.com.au/ ====== derrida I punched in my details and there are approximately 100 people like me. What has occurred to me is that people like me (20's, single) that live in rich mobile areas of Sydney spend less than the national average across most things, and overall. But also, compared to people like me, I get away with about 1/8th of what everybody else spends, and do not feel poor. To the contrary in fact. What is going on here? I am inclined to believe the data. What this has really reinforced for me is the extent to which other people must spend their income as it comes in. It has also reinforced the importance of my friends, connections, values & personal knowledge. My friends who enable me to live a life that feels rich whilst, apparently, spending about 1/8th of what everybody else does. I really am surprised. I was not raised frugally and if I want something and have the money, I generally buy it & I don't need more than I have. ~~~ viraptor A couple of guesses: \- single does not mean no kids \- once you are in debt, you may have problems getting out of it (you spend a lot on credit repayment rates) \- does spending include investment? for example would a life insurance / retirement fund count towards "spending"? ------ jacques_chester Given the history of people being identified from "anonymous" records (thanks a _lot_ , information theory) ... well, I'm glad I'm not banking with the NAB. ~~~ s_henry_paulson You misunderstand. This is not an anonymous data-dump like the AOL fiasco, and there is no way to get any raw data. Basically you just pick a few things like your age, salary and where you live, and then out of all of the people out there "like you", you're shown an average of where people like you tend to spend their money (travel, food, etc.). Even if you spent a lot of time manipulating the data to try and get it to tell you one person's spending by category (assuming it were possible), the data would be relatively meaningless. ~~~ jacques_chester Thanks; I was thrown by the title. ------ dfc For what its worth they have not "released" the data. I cannot copy any of the text from the FAQ section but if you browse the FAQs and "about this site" it looks like the whole site is basically an ad/demo of Market Blueprint[1]. But I could be wrong. estromiund, do you know where they released the data? [1] <http://www.quantium.com.au/market-blueprint> ~~~ anthonys That's correct. It is Market Blueprint in a pretty, consumer skin. ------ boyter I wonder how accurate this actually is... I punched in my details and apparently for my details there are less then 10 people like me. Considering where I live, age etc... that seems unlikely. ~~~ kerno Same. It is clear now that I am a beautiful snowflake. ------ mmahemoff If they didn't acknowledge the well-known risks and how they got around them, they will have some concerned customers and questions from regulators. <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AOL_search_data_leak> Robust De-anonymization of Large Sparse Datasets <http://www.cs.utexas.edu/~shmat/shmat_oak08netflix.pdf> Regarding Netflix's competition: "We demonstrate that an adversary who knows only a little bit about an individual subscriber can easily identify this subscriber’s record in the dataset." ------ hn-miw-i Interesting, as a customer of ubank I was concerned with the concept, especially after the data deanonymization techniques developed post AOL and Netflix. However after using the site and entering my demographics (all public properties) I could see that I was like 56 people in area; their base spending patterns did not reflect me at all and I felt like a snowflake. Sometimes big data makes you feel special. At no time was I shown transactions, merely aggrigate figures in categories. No privacy issue here, keep being decent and ethical national bank! ------ cmaitchison I'd say the initial 6 questions are modelled on Census data, not anonymous bank records. ~~~ pserwylo I agree. I am with this bank, and after seeing this was curious as to what information they actually have about me. Looking at the "My Details" section of the site shows only the following info: \- Name \- Phone \- Email \- Address \- Tax File Number (not unlike a US social security number) I came to the same conclusion that its probably based on census data. ------ pr0tocoldan Is anyone aware of what method they used to make the data anonymous? I'm currently doing research in data masking tools and would be interested to know about the techniques used and the performance of the tool. ------ xmodem Kind of cool, but I bank with the bank in question (Ubank / National Australia Bank) and I'm not sure I'm completely comfortable that they'd use my transaction history like this. ~~~ Volpe If your identity isn't attached... it isn't your history. It's just 'a' history. ~~~ BigTigger I work for an Australian Bank. We had an internal competition where they didn't sanitise the data for this competition well enough. After a week of analysing the data one of the people in competing in the competition knew who's data we were looking at. It was a friend of theirs. All identifying information had been removed/sanitised, they could tell from looking at the spending habits. I disagree with your statement. ~~~ Volpe ... So they knew, because they already knew. So really they just confirmed. Ask that person to go and find my details, and they will surely fail. Because they know nothing about me, and the transaction history doesn't tell them anything... thus it is not 'identifying'. ------ lucaspiller I put in my numbers to see what it would be like living on the other side of the world (I'm in Dublin, Ireland - it is currently 9C and raining) using the Sydney postcode 2000. It says my expected house & home costs are $2000, which seems rather high for me. In London and here in Dublin, pretty much everyone my age (mid twenties) is in a houseshare, so we would pay that for the whole property, but split it three ways or so. Is housing just that much more expensive, or what? ~~~ chris_wot You only picked one of the most expensive postcodes - that's the Sydney CBD! Yes, it is VERY expensive. In fact, it is _very_ expensive to live in Sydney, full stop. Try using a 40?? postcode for Queensland. ------ codelion If we go by the history of such anonymization attempts (AOL, Netflix) it is only a matter of time that someone figures out how to get PII from this data. ~~~ veemjeem I think the title is misleading for the purposes of catching people's attention. The data is not available to download, and is in aggregate form. The AOL data was not in aggregate form, so it was possible to get personalized details. They probably constructed a simple decision tree aggregate which is probably less than 10kb of data. I doubt anyone could extrapolate 10kb data into personalized details of an individual. ------ softgrow Spooky. Tried it out and found it's prediction accurate for brands and companies I might use. Which was disappointing in a way, I was hoping I might find something new to try. Instead I'm well, just like me.... ~~~ nopassrecover Wasnt even close for me. Not sure if the data's poor for my demographic or I'm atypical. ------ pan69 Nice idea but an absolute terrible website. E.g.

[https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48251](https://github.com/rust- lang/rust/issues/48251) ~~~ stmw neat! ------ Freak_NL > Cargo couldn’t fetch the index from crates.io if you were using an older > Windows without having applied security fixes. Why are developers (since this is an issue that shows up with cargo) running Windows 7 without security patches installed?

On master, > we’ve updated to fix this, but for 1.24.1 stable, we’re issuing a warning, > suggesting that they upgrade their Windows version. That's really a neat and responsible way of handling this. ~~~ mtgx Although developers should know and do better, I think a big part of why they aren't doing it is because Microsoft has made it so hard to update Windows 7 since a year or two ago, all in the name of forcing people to switch to Windows 10. You now have to visit and _manually_ download the updates from Microsoft's Update Catalog website. Oh, and that website only works on Internet Explorer. ~~~ Arnavion No idea what you mean. Windows 7 receives updates from Microsoft through Windows Update just fine. ------ HumanDrivenDev Rust gives me a headache. I want to like it, but it just seems so... overengineered [https://doc.rust- lang.org/std/str/struct.SplitWhitespace.htm...](https://doc.rust- lang.org/std/str/struct.SplitWhitespace.html) Why would you create a special data type to represent a string split by Whitespace? Lunacy ~~~ devit Because unlike most other programming languages, Rust is well-engineered and seeks to both provide the most general abstractions possible and to make the code generated by them as efficient as possible. In particular, for this task, this requires to: 1\. Return references to subranges of the original string, rather than copying them, so that no copy happens if you only need to examine the component instead of storing it 2\. Not use reference counting to do so, but rather statically checked references with lifetimes, to avoid unnecessary instructions to update the reference count and lack of a static finalization point 3\. Provide a way to get components one by one, so that if you only need e.g. the first two, time is not wasted to split the whole string 4\. Provide that through a generic Iterator trait, so that it may be passed to generic methods (like one that collects the result into a vector) 5\. Dispatch that generic trait statically rather than using an indirect call as that would destroy performance 6\. Make the state manipulated by such an interface into a first-class object, and allow to put them in a data structure (like an array) while still doing static dispatch, so that you can, for instance, split multiple strings into components and interleave them without ever making an indirect call. The combination of these essential requirements results in the creation of the SplitWhitespace<'a> data type, which represents the state of a parser splitting a string into 'a-lifetime references to whitespace-separated its components one by one, implementing the Iterator trait, and usable in a data structure. ~~~ varjag The better half of those points are directly and indirectly caused by insistence on manual memory management. Yes, it was a major design point of Rust, but it doesn't make it better engineered than "most other languages". It's just the corner it painted itself to. ~~~ maxaf Firstly, manual memory management is what happens when a C programmer must manually place malloc/free calls within her program. Rust doesn't require any of that; the compiler determines the right times to allocate and free memory, while requiring the programmer to follow certain design rules in exchange for the convenience. Second, you're making it sound as if the position Rust (and those who program in it) is somehow undesirable. This state of things is the consequence of an explicit design goal, which was to accomplish automatic memory management without runtime cost. ~~~ varjag Interesting; I certainly wouldn't consider C++ constructor/destructor like semantics and manual tracking of object ownership in the code as automatic memory management. But regardless, the point stands. And yes it's a consequence of a design goal, I said as much. The outcome however isn't beautiful enough to feel smug about the rest of programming languages. ~~~ mathw Rust doesn't have C++ constructor/destructor semantics. It doesn't require manual tracking of object ownership. You just have to say when you're passing ownership and when you aren't, and the compiler takes care of the rest. It's automatic memory management without runtime accounting or a garbage collector, which means Rust doesn't need a runtime at all. ~~~ varjag > It doesn't require manual tracking of object ownership. You just have to say > when you're passing ownership and when you aren't […] Call it whatever you want, but there are languages where you don't have to "pass ownership" manually for every frigging thing. ~~~ iknowstuff And you won't see them being used for systems programming because of their overhead. So without Rust, we'll be stuck with stupid, avoidable security vulnerabilities at the base of all our software, forever. On top of that, Rust's ownership system also prevents data races and none of those other languages are capable of that. ~~~ creatornator I'd say Java, a GC'ed language, is used for systems programming quite often. ------ GolDDranks This is an interesting demonstration how fiddly and UB-happy FFI boundaries can be...

And the fridge acquisition shows that they're not done implementing new ways to share yet. I think the trick will be to make it all easy to understand. I think another non-trivial difference is that there no ads, at least not yet. Even if they add gmail-style ads, it'll be a lot better than FB. But more importantly, Google doesn't necessarily need to make money on Google+.
