Someone in the industry might just have a slightly better idea of what's really going on and that's largely what HN is about.

"Cryptocurrencies is about divorcing money and state." How so? Despite the misleading term cryptocurrency is a type of commodity, not money. A heavily speculated one. It's really quite terrible at being a money substitute. Wi

They had the same panel houses on the outskirts of Leningrad. Sometimes I'd conspire with a girl to skip school and we'd hang out on those flat roofs.

The title of this post if completely wrong. The article rather specifically states that: In the end, the team’s conclusions do not mean that humanity is alone in the Universe, or that the odds of finding evidence of extra-terrestrial civil

"Even if nobody knows everything, not everyone is equally ignorant;" I certainly agree. One would hope, I sure do for one, that the cloud of subjective realities trends towards the objective as time approaches infinity, assuming s

You wrote "afaik, it's quite uncommon for those outside the humanities and certain social sciences to believe this". This is an example of a fragment of your constructed reality. It's something you choose to believe, bec

Yes, but not necessarily to trade stocks. There is a more direct use of this data - to predict demand.

I expected the app to somehow "understand" the brand name and that the meaning(s) would influence suggestions. I don't think that's happening, or at least it's very basic. I tried "Cloudera" and "Red

It sounds like the major sources of variations in canvas behavior are the OS and the browser. So why would results of using this canvas method not correlate strongly with just using user agent string?

If you are downloading to simply consume, then sure. But as others have noted this article assumes that mastering is always the last step in the editing process. Anyone who ever remixed, sampled or DJ'ed will disagree. If we keep that

We should be careful drwaing conclusions about the value of practice here. The main problem with this endeavor is the definition of success. The outcome is strictly binary. That is either he makes a pro tour or not. Apart from publicity, th

I agree, it is reassuring to see that the team is thinking about ethical implications. Judging by the samples from the homepage there are audible artifacts in the recordings resulting from synthesis. I doubt these would pass scrutiny if pre

If a post is being pitched as news, then some amount of fact checking needs to take place. Traditional media has been doing that forever and identifying sources of information, since they have to uphold their reputation. I think in this day

Thank you for this clarification. I agree, I took a few too many shortcuts with that statement and it can be misleading.

I've been training for triathlons while adhering to a ketogenic diet since October 2015. Initially I struggled. It definitely felt like a step back. Over time my body adapted and 3-4 months later I was performing on the same level with

Some corrections from the point of view of an endurance athlete (triathlon). First of all you don't really "eat glucose", that would be an oversimplification. Glucose is produced by your own body when metabolizing carbohydrat

That particular sentence is just a rhetorical bridge from the quote. I am really suggesting that it is quite possible to forgo one or two hours of Facebook and Netflix a day and invest that time into asking questions about self. Exercising.

Let's face it, the majority of the population lazily look for simple formulas along the lines of "(Don't) do this, and you'll get that". Media panders to that when drawing conclusions from studies often leaving out

If you are implying that those using drugs to stimulate their creativity are somehow inferior to those who are not that would be a tad insulting to many creative individuals who use drugs. Just saying ;)

In-memory storage layer is very efficient. There are no buffer pool pages to manage or cache misses that result in I/O. That puts an accent on what goes on between storage engine and network, that is on query execution. Tight loops in nativ

Phill, parsing has little to do with what goes on at query execution time. Parsing is typically done once for a given parameterized query (and MemSQL automatically parameterizes queries with constants). After parsing comes compilation which

You are asserting that databases are always I/O bound and never CPU bound. Your assertion is wrong. A properly tuned database will become CPU bound (whether it's MemSQL or MySQL). At that point hyper-efficient execution results in higher th

Tim, if you want to talk substance, you have to peer deeper under the covers. And if you do that, then you just can't overlook the fact that the query execution model used by MemSQL is significantly different than that used by old school re
