I'm going to call out AirBnB on this one too. You end up seeing the activities of anyone who has ever tagged you as being part of a trip, even if you haven't signed up for the platform. Worse, you cannot make any part of your AirB

Nothing I can link to, but that information has been shared to DOE labs and projects relying on large NERSC allocations.

Phi is dead. The next NERSC computer is GPUs. Not sure what Argonne is doing but there’s no reason to think it won’t be GPUs. The only reason Phi/KNL made sense was because it seemed like a conservative choice when GPUs were more exoti

Do you think it’s better or worse than the initial mining?

Kroger is also potentially gearing up for an Alibaba partnership as well that was reported earlier this year. I know rumors are still floating down to the store level on this (my father is a store manager)

That’s because they are a level above the other vehicles in the same price range.

I'm not quite sure there's any metric you could use to declare Liar Liar a "total flop", but sure.

Can you define "bad hardware"? To my coworkers, this usually means they can't get the largest amount of RAM on the mac that they can get when they buy a $WINTEL. On the flipside, their battery life always ends up worse and th

The Planck results are really the most problematic, so we will see if that changes over time.

Isn’t the chunk the unit, why should it be unbounded m? You’d have issues on the client side without knowing how long a chunk is going to be - It seems like the chunk should be the unit which can be guaranteed to fit in memory on the client

Japan is always touted for this, but Chile (Santiago, Viña) are similarly plagued with extremely large earthquakes, with regular occurrence over 7.0, and you see tons of mid-rise buildings in Santiago. The building standards there are excep

I bought a Tuft and Needle after this post in 2013: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=6900625 I’m pretty sure that at the time, Tuft and Needle was the main name in the game, and I definitely hadn’t heard of Casper at th

DARPA is effective because, in many ways, it is sort of a research aggregator and packager, focusing basic research into solving specific problems. There's no HN without news elsewhere on the web, just like there's no DARPA withou

Were these engineering math (DEs, linear algebra) or actual math classes (Real Analysis, Number Theory, etc...) The ratio in my studies 10 years ago was much, much better in math degree courses than engineering courses.

That's not entirely true. It must be cured, but it doesn't necessarily need nitrites to cure it. You can buy salt cured bacon here: https://shop.bentonscountryham.com/ProductDetails.asp?Produc...

In high school I hung out with a lot of such people, but I went to high school in Utah. My best friend had 11 sisters and 3 brothers.

For those who don't know, the Presto parser is easy to use and analyze if you are programming in Java/JVM. It's close to the grammar and the IR is really good.
