this just scares me: if they think this is acceptable, have they thought about security elsewhere?

Can someone explain what prevents a board like this from supporting USB3 (vs. the Odroid boards)? I either want something much smaller and cheaper for IoT tinkering or something with USB3 and gigabit ethernet for NAS and high-bandwidth sen

Nice that it made it to the front page, though.

If you want a match in framing and claims, read the original article, not the linkbait university press release.

Last year the lead author was a post-doc in the lab I work in and we discussed it... Nori and colleagues are certainly interested in how prosodic differences between languages may affect the priors. But it's probably not going to be a

I'm reading "A Pattern Language" right now and it's pretty revelatory. It certainly suggests that structural properties of natural languages are prevalent throughout culturally-transmitted behaviors

I think you're right that there is a sleight-of-hand in the modern higher educational system: given that most of the substantive knowledge is publicly available (e.g. I can download any textbook I want), they really offer something dif

I took the OP to mean "lacking in empathy, contextual awareness, and premised on a specific—and potentially very damaging—notion of capitalism." Based on the interviews I've read and the description of the Thiel fellows, this

If the justification for merging the produce stand, bakery, fishmonger, butcher, etc. into one is the efficiency of a shared POS and delivery system, this could provide the justification for splitting them back out, at least in upscale mark

If the body is conceived of an information processing system, it seems that one fruitful interpretation of the placebo effect is that it's some sort of somatic top-down processing to help deal with noise and crappy sensors. Language an

I thought they included it for the freight network (IIRC the overwhelming majority of train traffic in the US is freight). It would be nice to distinguish the two.

For context, here's population http://i.imgur.com/mcA2hWa.jpg . Kind of obvious, but a lot of infrastructure (esp. for resource extraction) is far away from centers of population.

I find the rather scant coverage of election topics on HN to be a glaring warning in its own right... if the technocratic class is focused on bricklaying (Go, TensorFlow, Docker, etc.), who is deciding what gets built at the macro level? Ma

'Functioning democracies' are probably better thought of as being a gradient rather than a binary property. There are a number of indices of varying regional and temporal scope, e.g. you could look at the Economist Intelligence Un

It's funny that the author points to the possibility of a synthesis, when one was just published within the last month by the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences: http://www.pnas.org/content/113/40

Does anyone recognize the metallic split keyboard in the background? I have been looking for a high quality wired keyboard with separate left and right panels and hoping I don't need to build one (plenty of other things to build!)

Admittedly this might be one of the white lies I tell myself in order to stomach American political discourse. Good catch.

I disagree with OP's characterization of HN as a 'technical' site. Technical and political domains are recursively embedded; engineers have a moral and ethical obligation to understand the 'political' implications o

I find this perspective frighteningly cynical and self-perpetuating. Government policy is one of the few mechanisms that has the possibility to address (if not fix) systemic inequality. And I think there's broad agreement across the po

Interesting how easy this is, while spoken word recognition is so hard. I think this is because 1) human speakers vary more in terms of the signal than our various song-playing devices and 2) spoken word recognition depends strongly on cont

Isn't this analogous to trying to understand human cognition by using human responses to inputs, e.g. the endeavor of cognitive science? Just in the case of inferring the ML architecture, there's a smaller hypothesis space than fo

Science journalism strikes again. Between this and the Guardian's "dolphin language discovered" the findings have been completely overblown for what is really a trivial finding. All this article really says is that cetaceans

There's industry-level misrepresentation at play here, not just nefarious one-offs by the local fishmonger. On the Pacific coast of the US many retailers (whole foods, etc.) sell fish from the genus Sebastes ("rockfish") as &
