News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

a little long winded, but very interesting if Wozniak responds...and wow, referendum difficulty in NY :/ would be interesting if we had a digital ranking site for bubbling up referendums without such lobbying costs.

That codebase really has exceptional organization/comments.

Thanks, really appreciate that. I posted on https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/pagespeed-insights-d... ... Don't want to be too spammy, but can do the same.

I agree, the old tool had many issues, and I think for the "synthetic" portion, moving over to Lighthouse (used in the browser, headless chrome) makes sense.

But, the sudden move from basing ranks off median vs to the 90th percentile, needs to be considered. (Or at least some function on outliers should be applied perhaps weighted by pageHits).

From my initial querying of CRuX and using the tool directly — it tends to punish highly trafficked sites, making it seem like they are "slower"...when they are often highly optimized.

The tool encourages posting questions on stack overflow, so hoping to get a little traction and encourage an answer.

https://www.wsj.com/asia is up as well. There's a few kinks we're still working out on the article page that is breaking the green lock.

Seems like if they send the people a new device in the mail it would be more valuable to see if the camera and other components were salvageable -- then I could see people stealing them for pieces :/

If you visit www.wsj.com or other Dowjones owned sites you'll see a banner with the link: "Please click here to read an important security message."

Yes, impulsive, creative, wild, dangerous, bored people doing riskier things have 2x mortality. There's a lot of things that'll increase it a lot more -- like different geolocations.
Re:Deep Belief Networks at Heart of NASA Image Classification on Monday September 21, 2015 @09:07PM (#10256103)
I stopped reading when I hit this sentence: But armed with two of these, and a new slant on deep belief networks, they are breathing new life into an established deep learning knowledge base and proving how a new model for deep learning is proving itself at scale for NASA’s terabytes of near-range satellite data—and potentially for other areas as the work expands.

The 13 antennas and form factor is kind of cool, but after that I'd rather install OpenWrt and if going for home automation, my own server.

Wonder how rootable Google will leave it.

That's a smart angle it could fall under FOIAble data, anyone have credit at https://www.muckrock.com/?
Well it doesn't take much to think: keep the servers running, assume the House version will eventually pass and it can be used to back justify during this little gap period.
