Re:How SoftBank’s costly bet on the ‘internet of things’ backfired at Arm

> When Son spearheaded the $31bn purchase of Arm, he saw it as a wager on the future of the entire technology industry, which was crystallising at that time around the IoT concept. He proceeded to push the executive team firmly on the course to designing chips for this future of machine connectivity.
Son did not push anyone, ARM was IoT crazy before it was purchased: http://web.archive.org/web/20151006082751/http://www.arm.com...
Re:Automated Inference on Criminality Using Face Images

Overall I do not think that the result is surprising. The large genetic deviations result in deviant behaviour and in deviant face. On the other hand it is next to useless for law enforcement since if it is applied to general population the majority of criminal-like faces belongs to law-abiding people.
The fact that we do not like the result does not make it false. For validation, see page 4, where they checked that a random labeling of images does not produce such a good distinguisher.

In the full-scale war the fighter planes are useless cause the air bases and carriers will be nuked out in the first hour. So the reality is that the planes are not made for fights, they are made for parades.

Even SU-27 had passive locking. If pilot can see, electronics can as well.
Re:Ask HN: What's the oldest OS you are running in production?

Solaris 9, RHEL 5, Windows XP
Since it is not connected to Internet, there is no point to risk an upgrade. Newer versions of Windows take more resources.
