As long as it's no more than the price of the cheaper legal team this method would work. That way poorer people who have been wronged are not heavily deterred from filing suit.

I would very much like them to revert this change. Using backspace to go back has been in my browsing habits since I began using the internet. Atl+left or right is annoying. Either give us a checkbox or revert it. Please. Pretty please.

Wow, I honestly never read that. +1 for the link, I love old stuff like this.

I'd agree with this. My last couple of projects did have a couple of hacks that bordered on spaghetti code until they were sufficiently cleaned up.

Here's a priority list that you should typically follow for making anything.

1. Make it work.

2. Make it not break.

3. Make it fast.

That's it really. Until the performance of something is blocking what you need to do somewhere else leave it the hell alone.

They can but it's going to take a good long while before they have the same kind of access to their physical environment to experiment like humans can. Just think about the steps between figuring out that bean water can be used in meringues for instance; not just the mental ones, but the physical ones as well.

This is a people to people problem. The _only_ reason it would seem somewhat technologically/hackernews related is because it's a web service that it's happening through. Even then that's a low bar to clear in present times.

How can you think it's pertinent?

AR or MR is the endgame. Once the technology is capable of blocking out the world then you have VR in MR. Similar attempts have been made with passthrough video with VR[1]; the tech will converge at some point, it's inevitable.

So while you may not be the only one who doesn't want this tech to come about you and anyone else who shares your sentiments are wishing for something that absolutely won't happen. As for your usability concerns, those always come later as the tech matures.

So it cuts the genomes out, does it keep the cells alive while doing so? I heard that CRISPR/Cas9 doesn't rejoin the dna it cuts. I'm new to this and would love to know from someone more knowledgeable about this.

Serious question: How do you keep your stuff from getting replicated, tweaked and crushed by people with possibly better tooling and more machines than you? China comes to mind tbh.

That helps but you have to understand that most industrial and utilities sites hate new tech. They like proven tech that's been used in three other places before they adopt anything. And once they settle on something they want to stick with it for 15-30 years and have support for longer because everyone knows that it's going to take another 3 years to get approval for purchase of new components because the old stuff has been giving faulty readings the past year and a half which requires hard reboots, the firmware is no longer being upgraded and the guys who first used the stuff are starting to retire. Even then they just want something that fits into the same slot.

Sorry for the runon but this is a major gripe of mine. Most managers just want it to work and unless it doubles your profit, cuts failures and makes you coffee for when other stuff breaks and you're working overtime to fix it they don't want to change anything.

Futzing around with the operating system calls is the hardest part.

Being in that kind of environment is stressful. If you can't trust the person above you to have your back you're going it alone. I hate working in places you have to feel unreasonably guarded.

I played with something similar for a while, https://github.com/jcjohnson/neural-style

What I've found so far is that it takes a while to get good results like something that looks like its own creation instead of an overlap of pictures. There's no exact way to do this. If you modify existing artwork it works well enough since the source is already somewhat divorced from reality but photos are difficult. When it works it's amazing though.

Holy shit. I'm reading through the paper and citations right now. This is making me giddy. Last time I heard the furthest we got was with materials under unreasonable amounts of pressure. If this pans out things are going to change big time.

I'm not lying when I say that if you implement up to 2x speed I'll subscribe that day. Everything I watch on youtube is at 2x speed. People talk way too slowly.

Ignore the love life, it's just a vehicle for the idea. Focus on the meaning.

It's going to work but it's not going to work amazingly so, probably just suffering from a low FOV. With that said, there's too much money and too many people being hired for this to fail incredibly hard; it just wouldn't make sense.

One reason is that an organization of lawyers actively lobbys (lobbies?) for things to not change. It's a revenue stream. That's not the only reason but it's definitely a big one.

It makes sense to become profitable more quickly then. Github was profitable nearly from the get go. So was Atlassian. There's also that guy who lived in japan and made flash cards for teachers. There's also the guy who made You Need A Budget with just an excel spreadsheet and some charisma.

If your business idea is too big to make without large (seed investment size) amounts of funds then you should pick something else or get a job and slowly build it with your own income.

Suck it up.

I worked with cryengine for nearly a year before giving up and moving on to UE4 where I already had source code access without being admitted to an incubator. Hopefully something good comes out of this initiative but I'm not holding my breath. When you start learning an engine or any framework the ecosystem and community are instrumental in making your life easier and getting some sort of camaraderie.

Just my 2c.

>But it’s also true that we self-identify in a tribal way with our choices, and that those choices have social import. Even if you brag defiantly that you’re a pragmatist who doesn’t care who does or doesn’t use a tool: That’s a lot like being a hipster growing a beard and putting on plaid.

Lol what? That's stupid. Some people listen to the music that sounds good to them, some people listen to music that brings them and their friends together, some people listen to music for other reasons.

Your analysis bad because you think you can group people so simply. Stop that.

I don't see why it would. Once you get enough base data you can start simulating the data from what you have, inputting different scenarios without actually encountering them IRL. Faking sensor input and randomizing should get it most of the way there.

You're missing the largest issue. If the customer is just a dick and did nothing illegal the store owner out of spite might put him or her into the database to be flagged in every other store.

Hopefully the significant fines would keep this at bay. In all honesty kicking the store off the system would be the best way to stop it.

Honest question, were there robber barons besides the famous ones in the US?

Every week someone talks about the same thing. I get it but at this point this topic is passing the point of caring into annoyance and soon apathy. It honestly has crossed my mind to just make a quick script to filter anything that has to do with women/minorities/politics even though it's the equivalent of covering my ears and closing my eyes. Articles based on these things have nothing to do scientific progress and quirky/interesting technical concepts which are the main draw for coming here.

Maybe I'll be enlightened? I don't know. Being completely honest I'm having a hard time getting past fact that the article was written by a woman who could instead get a tech job. My wife is a kernel programmer for goodness' sake. Perhaps I'm failing to see something obvious so it would be nice if someone could show me what's wrong with my line of thinking.

There's a reason that in order to become an actual engineer you're required to pass a professional engineering exam. In many states you're literally breaking the law if you put PE on your business card[1].

Putting it mildly, with all of the asshats that can barely create CRUD apps calling themselves software engineers and making an amazing salary when compared to their pathetic skills its a wonder the median salary hasn't plummeted like a rock.

I honestly think having someone legally responsible is necessary for proper programming and security practices to be put into place. It works with HIPAA and the real engineering profession. The people going through these classes are no more than weekend woodshop students and the spaghetti they string together will show them to be.

The rationale behind it makes perfect sense. Do you really want to give someone $2-3000 per month or $24-36k a year just to have a box around you? Especially if you don't own much stuff? How much do you actually need besides your computer, phone, clothes and toiletries? Gym for bathroom and free public wifi for internet aside from your phone and you're set.

The rental and housing market is disgusting. I wouldn't consider it except for my wife.

Ah I get that too. I figured out why sleep paralysis happens and here's how to fix it. When you sleep on your back your pillow is compressing your brain stem at the base of your skull. Get the pillow further up on your head so as much as possible it doesn't touch your neck or the fleshy part just below the back of your skull. It'll feel a bit different (weird?) but you should be able to sleep without issue.

Tell as many people as you can after you see for yourself.

edit: As an additional tip, the way I get out of the paralysis is by trying to rock my body as if I'm building up momentum to jump or at least jerk a limb. Once I twitch a limb it feels easy enough to break everything else out. That rocking feeling is probably imaginary so I don't know how transferable the technique is to other people.

Other than that I can only think that you're not properly motivated. I don't know much about clinical depression so this may be obtuse but let's assume you were being tortured; burned, whipped, fingernail removal, whatever. Would you do everything in your power to get out of that situation? Well right now you're comfortable. There are no pressing matters and you have pretty much whatever you need from day to day. That emotional inertia that was there when you began working on your startup isn't there. There are also no new stimuli to spur you back into motion. So the only thing you can do is rest until your comfort level with your progress drops enough for you to get back into gear. I don't know, there's a very good chance I'm projecting from my own past experiences.

The only solution I've found which works for me every day is to get angry. Angry about what other people have done that I haven't done. Angry about what other people have that I don't have. Angry about not using my talents to the fullest - not seeing what I'm capable of doing. Angry about being told no, I can't. My progress is fueled by rage and my heart will probably pop by age 50 but I will get my work done. I will never allow myself to be comfortable.

Good luck, whatever you do.
