antouank··on Show HN: Euro 2016 predictions using Bayesian inference
The thing is that football is a time based sport, so draw is an outcome with pretty good chances. Usually weak teams will try to delay as much as they can to get the draw. Given enough time, the strong team would have much bigger chances to win. Also, depending on the context ( points needed for each time ) a team might have bigger motive to go for a draw than a win.

Predicting outcome possibility in football is a very complicated story, I doubt it can be solved in a simple way like elo ranking the players or teams.

That said, the knock-out phase might be more suitable for that model.

Kudos for the effort anyway, and nice UI.

antouank··on Show HN: Euro 2016 predictions using Bayesian inference
Right. But then again, you cannot say it's 100% that player A or player B will win, right? There's a chance for draw that is not negligible.

But how does that make sense in a game where you can have a draw? By definition 100% cannot cover only home/away. Draw must be factored in. So doesn't that make all the Elo assumptions false? Just wondering how you can take draw into consideration...

Same here. Happy overall. If only they supported more unicode chars...

It's been like that for a long time I think.

antouank··on Let's Encrypt: Active Incident, DNS errors causing service disruption
I don't know what the exact title should be. If you see here, https://letsencrypt.status.io/pages/history/55957a99e800baa4... , there's a "Investigating interruption of issuances" event from yesterday. I had problem with getting certificates yesterday. Seems to be working today, but I just thought it's interesting to see what happened.
antouank··on Starter VPS: New Affordable Variants
I had the same opinion initially, but I did some testing to the machines I had available. You can see the benchmarks here : https://docs.google.com/document/d/114A7kl6BHqsZ0qPjG8B8IA_U... I got my site ( https://hack.ernews.info ) up on a C2S machine in Scaleway, and I'm pretty satisfied with it so far as value/money

For this submission, I can say I'm definitely not working for Tesla. I found the link in my twitter feed ( https://twitter.com/chrismatthieu/status/717797775912480772 RT by Brendan Eich ). Didn't realise it's been posted before, apologies for that.

antouank··on Show HN: Honest Salary – Help make salaries fair and honest by sharing yours
Good shout. And 120k GBP sounds like a lot. Is it supposed to be USD? Or is he converting a contractor's daily rate to a perm's salary?
antouank··on C2: Affordable X86-64 Servers
I assumed nbench uses all the available cores, that's why I said I'm wrong. On a 1 core basis, yes, it's useful, and I get that this t2 instance is not a stable baseline. I only have that available right now, as my free credit.
antouank··on C2: Affordable X86-64 Servers
If nbench only uses 1 core, yes, my comparison is wrong. Is there a similar benchmarking linux tool that can use many cores?

edit: instance is a t2.micro

antouank··on C2: Affordable X86-64 Servers
How "reliable" are those numbers in estimating real application performance?

I've run nbench for a 1 CPU VM in EC2, and a 2 CPU VM in DO, and the former is a lot faster ( almost 2x ) than the latter!

antouank··on Let's Encrypt has issued its first million certificates
I see, thanks. I use the docker container "version", so I assume I have to somehow mount a volume to the container, that's also accessible from my nginx ( or whatever ) container, so it can serve the static file LE creates. Is there something more to it?
antouank··on Let's Encrypt has issued its first million certificates
Can you update the certificate without taking down your nginx server? I assume you need port 443 for LE to verify your domain, right? Can you use a different port?
antouank··on Raspberry Pi 3 on Sale
Edited the comment, I thought <pre> makes it easier to tell what part is the quote.
antouank··on Raspberry Pi 3 on Sale
> The Pine64 will be shipping out to backers shortly, but it’s already dead on arrival. I’m a backer of the Pine64 Kickstarter campaign, and I should have some commitment bias towards this cheap 64-bit computer. Even I must concede the Raspberry Pi 3 is the superior board.

How is that, since Pine64 will have same CPU, plus 2GB of RAM, and Gbit ethernet.

Installed El Capitan yesterday. Process took almost half an hour. Afterwards, brew just gave me a warning to do "chown" to my usr/local. That's it. Everything works fine.

antouank··on Raspberry Pi touch display
I see. So the PCB part does this "adapter" work to make the screen "talk" with the R-Pi, right? Screens for mobile devices, don't they have any standards someone can use to build a similar PCB?
antouank··on Raspberry Pi touch display
Could you possibly buy only the connecting PCB module, and use a touch screen from a bricked mobile phone or tablet? Many of those lying around...

Agreed. Cmd+Enter is more commonly a way to submit something I think. Shift+Enter is mostly used for adding a new line when Enter is reserved for submitting.
