The cost of the TV shouldn't make any difference to your willingness to go across town to save $20. Saving $20 on something that costs $400 gets you exactly as much benefit as saving $20 on something that costs $40.

That's not to say that you should be going across town to save $20 on anything. It might well not be worth the cost in time and fuel. But doing that to get a $20 item free, or a $40 item at half price, shouldn't be any more appealing than doing it to get 2% off the price of a $1000 item.

(It's a serious bug in our wetware that all the above feels so unintuitive to most of us.)
MTurk has been in beta for a while. What's new about MTurk since last year?
Exactly. If you've never read the blog of this brilliant researcher in computational complexity, the last post of his that HN should be showing you is some (justified) tongue-in-cheek political rant.
I really wish they would fix the reputation system so that it's not annoying or downright impossible to constructively use the site until you have a certain number of points.

Barring that I'd settle for having my reputation carry over to related Stack Exchange sites. Until then I probably won't bother to use this one.
I'm not sure if this is exactly the point you're making; but my experience of women in the engineering trade (admittedly more electronic engineering than computing) is that they are fairly "girly".

Certainly not many fit the traditional stereotypes of "girl geek".

I'd say the doll pretty much fits well.
If you think the security aspect of the server don't matter, then can I please have all the metadata that get generated on the server and which only security is the public statement by Moxie Marlinspike that they do not save the logs or store them.

The client only guarantees security in term of the message content. Who talks to who, when, where, how long, and the historical patterns are secured by the policy of the server provider. Trust in the server is critical.
There is no guarantee that there will be late adopters. So yes, there is risk.
You seem to be assuming that people getting their first dose will receive priority somehow in vaccination. As it is right now, those 20 million doses only represent ~15-25% of all Californians being fully vaccinated and around 30-35% having received at least one dose. There's mathematically no way 20 million more shots gets us to 90%.

News to most people.
Maybe because daily cases and daily deaths are down considerably and more than one third of California have begun vaccination.

Then you have Texas who is at the same point with just about 30% that have begun vaccination. And hosting outdoor events for 40.000 people.

Given that more and more people will be vaccinated from now on, it doesn't seem reckless to open up now.

The experts do recommend 85% vaccinated which is probably a good number, but it does seem that reopening fully can happen a lot sooner.

I had a friend who worked for a big consulting company and they told him to become an expert in a topic.

So he googled for 6 weeks and became an "expert".
Not sure in the US, but in Canada you don't need to report capital gain on foreign currencies if its under $200.
Just some feedback, I found the audio in the video explainer hard to follow. It sounded sort of weirdly text to speech and/or there were grammar mistakes in the original transcript. I'd get a professional to rerecord it.

Looks interesting though.
Not much money either.
Keyboard shortcuts are a big sticking point for me switching away from macOS. I expected I could wrestle Linux into something that resembles macOS shortcuts but it’s tricky and inconsistent. The clearest example of where macOS excels with shortcuts is in a terminal window: Command+C for copy, Control+C to kill a process. Control+Shift+C just doesn’t cut it for me on Linux.

I agree with you on software. Real package managers are great.

I hate to say it, because it’s so against what Linux has been for 25 years, but it would be great if there was a $99 distro with a heavily tweaked window manager that looks consistent across most apps, doesn’t have huge top bars, and conforms to macOS keyboard shortcuts. A lightning fast Spotlight analog would be great too. I recognize I can probably get pretty close to this vision with a patchwork of already available software but I want someone to tie a bow on it and maintain it for me.
I'm standing in a beautiful cottage I reserved via Airbnb right now. Using Airbnb has been a great experience and I've recommended it to about a dozen people so far. Keep up the good work!!
Well that's nice, I can't sign up for Face Cash because my company's domain name doesn't end in '.com'.
as a sign of how great the service is, IMHO, the only thing that annoys me is that I have to click on the password field whenever I have to log in. it looks like they've been testing a way to get the focus to the password field with a single tab, but it comes and goes.

honestly, amazon rocks. same day delivery if i need it, all-i-can-eat two day delivery for $80 per year, amazing customer service w/easy returns, rock solid security (i haven't changed my password since i created my account back in 1997 or so and haven't had one problem), nice discounts on books, etc. amazon deserves some sort of award in my opinion.
I've tried it twice now, and hated it both times. I was very excited about the prospect of a still-actively developed "Textmate" that would run on my other development machines. (I've got four active development machines, and only one of them is a Mac.)

In practice, though, it just felt wrong to me. It doesn't look as nice; I couldn't easily figure out keyboard / menu shortcuts for a number of my bread-and-butter Textmate activities; and I was unable to figure out how to manually install bundles.

Perhaps I just haven't given it enough time, but it always feels like it would be easier to just share my source directories so I can edit them from the Mac using Textmate...

Self and Io are both languages that have similar concepts but weren't direct inspiration; in Self's case, it was pure chance (I've never actually used Self), and in Io's case, Slate was a more direct influence. Io didn't have much mindshare, despite being another language I love (but never use).

Compared to the lock-in of the AWS ecosystem in general, Redshift honestly isn't that bad. You can unload all of your data into S3 and then do whatever you want with it. I'd be surprised if most data warehousing solutions had such an easy way of exporting the data.

I'm 99% confident from their general writing, tweeting, blogging etc. that this was highly highly Tongue-in-Cheek and irony referencing exactly the poo-flinging you now bemoan. Look how much thought they invest in making it work well on Windows. They wouldn't show that kind of motivation if they (or at least this Bert) truly believed Win was a piece of crap.

I can't find the words to express how much happier I am with to be working again on a platform (iOS) that was designed from the ground up to build rich UIs. HTML apps are such a grotesque heap of hacks in comparison.
It seems that Oracle doesn't understand that the main asset of an Open Source project is it's community, not the code base. And this is not something that you can control at will.

Also, let's not forget that it's not only Open Office. This exact same story is happening to Hudson CI right now. The community has already switched to Jenkins, and I bet it's a matter of time before Oracle announces they discontinue Hudson, too.
What bothers me is the trademark issue. Why should Oracle keep OpenOffice and the fork has to use another name? Trademarks exist to protect the public. Which of the projects is more true to the original one?
Your dilemma is analysis paralysis. jQuery is widely popular because of what it accomplishes, not just its syntax. And its syntax is totally "pure" JavaScript. How could anyone understand jQuery code that couldn't grok "pure" JS? jQuery is pure JS and does not radically alter the syntax.

The other camp, CoffeeScript (which I use and love) or "Objective-J"... yes they are different languages that compile to JavaScript but why does it bother you? Check out if you like or need them -- if not, stick to JS with or without libraries.

Now get busy =)
When Keynes picked his example of stimulus, the analogy he choose was paying people to bury money in mine shafts and dig it up again. The reason he chose this is that it makes stimulus logically identical to what happens under the gold standard without it: society puts effort into digging up more when the total amount of gold in circulation falls.

So as long as the economy is facing deflation, it isn't hard to see that stimulus is at worst the conceptual equivalent of doing nothing. And it is usually much better because it funds activities with a bigger collective payoff than moving dirt back and forth. And it prevents mass unemployment!

Standard caveats apply that this only holds in deflationary conditions, and monetary policy is usually preferred where possible. But it isn't hard to see that stimulus isn't intended to compete with private investment, and actually enables it in many situations. Especially since holding cash (or buying gold) is often preferred to other investments when the currency is falling, interest rates are low and the economic outlook is otherwise dismal.
"Never sell consols." - The Forsyte Saga

Britain still has some consols outstanding. They're perpetual bonds, paying interest at a fixed rate, forever. (Or at least as long as the UK lasts.) Some date back to the 18th century. It takes an act of Parliament to call them in and pay them off. That's finally happening, at least for the 4% consols.
I mostly read this thinking "good news". No, seriously, the documents suggest that the NSA hasn't made fundamentally important advances in decryption or uncovered significant weaknesses that academia doesn't know about. Now, that's not too much of a reassurance, because what academia (and the NSA) know is that HTTPS is in pretty terrible state, end-point security remains a significant problem, IPSec is a terrible protocl and so on.

It does raise the question what all the mathematicians are doing at NSA, and why they don't seem to have come up with any meaningful results. Suggests they are a waste of money, but then that's all of the NSA.

I suggest all of you check the original material (powerpoints w/ screenshots). A lot of people here suffer from the action movie mentality where they think the NSA is not like any other government agency, i.e. inefficient, behind the times, filled with horrible middle managers, deadweight, .. you get the idea. Things like the enterprise Java web interface, the CSV mass data export and "genericIPSec_wrapper.pl" can quickly dispel that myth.

You got a couple of technical replies (which are correct) but the answer what you are looking for is that they are the VC’s customers.

They pay the investment firm to invest their money, typically 2% of funds invested annually plus 20% of any realized profits.
It doesn't make much sense, as owning a stock does not give you any entitlement to the future labor of employees. Also employees can buy stock themselves, which arguably is superior to forcing them to be stakeholders in the company they work for, as it is voluntary. But the labor theory of value also doesn't make sense to begin with (if you disagree, I'd like you to pay me 10000$ to dig a hole in front of your front door, which would be hard work and therefore definitely worth 10000$), it's probably moot to discuss.

I don't think /r/WSB is representative of the stock market as a whole.

The stock market is just people trading. Some do stupid trades, some do smart trades. To cherry pick some stupid trades and claim it is all a casino is crazy, imo.

Personally, I am a freedom guy - I think people's freedoms should be maximized.

The alternative to "letting the people trade" is to regulate what people invest in. In my country, it gets harder and harder to invest in anything but the government pension, as every other asset class is being destroyed with taxes and risk of socialist pawning. There are also rules. It is just another tentacle of the "nanny state", preventing people from making potentially harmful decisions. But it limits freedom. Especially people on Hacker News (formerly Startup News) should understand. Should people be allowed to do Startups? It's a very risky undertaking which might lose you money.
You got me.

We're now promptly causing the same thing to happen in a few years time by developing internal applications targeted at IE 8 and SilverLight instead of web standards :^)
Is it frequently the case that your immediate attention averts disasters? My own experience is that I rarely avert disasters, especially over the phone. In fact, I don't know of a case where that's happened.

Of course, I don't really begrudge you your rule, but if you were giving a presentation, I don't think I'd show up, unless it were a play about a person who answers his phone a lot.
"Within same bank" transfers in the U.S. usually happen by end-of-same-business-day, sometimes within minutes.

I always figured that the 3-business-day wait was because of the interbank settlement process. Banks settle up at midnight between each business day: at that point, there's a shuffle where they figure out how much capital they need to meet reserve ratio requirements after the day's deposits & withdrawals, borrow from other banks at the Fed funds rate, or in the worst case, borrow from the Fed's discount window. If you figure a business day to transfer the money internally, then a business day to settle up with counterparties, then a business day for the money to appear in the receiving account, there's your 3 days.

(I suspect they also pad the times a bit...when I've transferred money, it's usually taken a day and a half to two days for it to appear, which is consistent with the intraday settlement process. They want a little bit of a cushion in case some employee isn't on the ball or things otherwise get hung up.)
They did. It failed. (TM)

In general I'd advise against using Scala.js for libraries. The Scala.js runtime is pretty heavy, and Scala's and TypeScript's type systems are different enough that it tends to be difficult to design an API that feels native in both.

Have you considered ScalaJS-React[0] or Outwatch[1] instead?

This is revolutionary. Pocket tools never stay in my pocket for long so there are tons of times when I needed a tool but it was somewhere else.

A wrist tool is the perfect solution. Watches stay on my wrist a lot longer then pocket tools stay in my pocket.

Fox News was notoriously famous for having extremely negative coverage on African Americans during the 1990s through 2014. They still are famous for that. National Review was extremely famous for it, too. The New York Times was also a conservative outlet, as I mention elsewhere, having hawked for every war since Vietnam.

Even the person Damore was inspired to write his manifesto because of (SlateStarCodex) admitted it was too far.

Biased reporting isn't new, it's always been universal, and it'll never go away. You just sound like you want more conservative outlets. Here's a tip: Turn on your local news. Local news in America is almost always owned by one of three conservative companies (Sinclair and Nextstar come to mind most immediately), and all of them have an extremely conservative bent.

That's not even getting into the bias of media on scientific issues. HIV/AIDS never got proper coverage, and the coverage it did get was usually outright wrong and hostile during the 1990s. Climate change? Completely debatable! A matter of emotion! They were still pushing that up until a few years ago. Encryption? Can be government-crackable and still secure! That's been a constant topic since the 1990s, too!

https://www.vox.com/2015/3/26/8296091/media-bias-race-crime

According to a report by the progressive research center Media Matters, New York City television stations give disproportionate coverage to crimes involving black suspects.

The Media Matters study found that between August 18 and December 13, 2014, the stations (WCBS, WNBC, WABC, and WNYW) used their late-night broadcasts to report on murder, theft, and assault cases in which African Americans were suspects at rates that far exceeded African-American arrest rates for those crimes.

There's always bias. Always will be bias. The above issue was even worse in the past.

Not sure what this means. But if you mean correct the error, then you certainly should and you don't need anybody permission.
The usual Uber/Lyft booking/pickup system doesn't scale well at airports where personal car pickup/dropoff is already a real mess in many cases. Some airports are trying to deal with this by moving ride-share to a different area (e.g. Central Parking in Boston) which is less convenient for passengers, especially those that don't know the airport well.

Usually I just take a taxi from the airport if there isn't a good transit option available. (Or book a car service in advance at my home airport.)
And if you're already going to pay for proprietary spyware for your home, a basic G Suite subscription is about half that price.
Interesting idea for sure, but it seems to me that unfairness is built into the species' firmware. Women simply inherently have more value on dating "market" (feels weird to call it market, but I can't exactly articulate why).

It’s somehow in the nature of dating apps to wax and wane, much like social networks. There’s some sense of novelty and excitement that wears off eventually. I think Tinder will eventually die too, and by the sound of it, already is well on its way.

There are multiple avenues for supporting python macros and calculations in excel. As a matter of fact I believe Microsoft was considering adding python as the default scripting language for excel.
The EU (and Japan and Australia) has a range of rules now for increasing pedestrian safety, including softer materials on the front bumper, hoods that give so that they cushion the impact if a pedestrian is hit, and limiteing sharp protrusions / edges on the front of the vehicle. The new G-wagon, for example, has turn signals that flex down into the vehicle on an impact.

Out of the box, the SaaS thingy is not really needed, you can just signup and use the device without ever logging in or downloading their mobile app. They're just kind enough to keep all your notes for you and thus, by default, need a bunch of battery power for the sync process.
I don't think we will get existing planet-scale financial regulatory authorities to give up their dream of ubiquitous financial surveillance and point-and-click, shoot first and ask questions later financial censorship/DoS abilities simply by there being an alternative.

Already they have practically banned p2p bitcoin transactions in the US. They're closer to their goal than we are to ours.

In 2011 I gave a halfway tongue-in-cheek talk called "Financing the Revolution" about digital payment systems, with a focus on bitcoin and the new possibilities it enabled. It is still, all these years later, not really possible to finance a revolution with bitcoin.

I don't think that's in any way an accident.
