I can't remember if there was an intern limitation, but I don't recall there was one. That said, I no longer work there so I'm not clear on the current requirements. I remember that access to the EE shop is pretty easy to come by. Ask your mentor and/or google the internal page to figure out how things work.

I was using it as an example - KDE could have been another, or MySQL, or whatever.

The criteria in the Java example - conversations I've had with people directly - was launching and running a desktop app. Things like clicking a menu option and being able to watch the menu draw (< 1 second, but still noticeable). I've sat down with a couple of die-hard Java guys years ago and finally showed them the slowness I would complain about. On my machine - click X, watch Y take a long time, etc.

"Oh, that's fine! What are you complaining about?"

"Well, when I run a 'native' app, I don't notice any of these slow operations."

"Oh, it's fine - that's hardly noticeable at all! Why do you care? Java's fine!" and so on.

So... often judgements really are in the eye of the beholder, regardless of what numerical benchmarks show.
You speak of the symptoms of the bug as if they were the bug, consider this one act play:

• The internet claims Apple is tracking all iPhone owners!

• Steve Jobs interrupts family time to exclaim "WTF!"

• SJ: "Minion! Verify this claim!"

• Minion: "It is true, to the extent that we keep large, possibly unbounded, volumes of cell tower and wifi access point in the cache for the purpose of…" SNICKER-SNACK… thump.

• SJ: "Engineering, fix this. Marketing, communicate this.", returns to family time.

• Engineering to engineer: "Fix this."

• Engineer to self: "I do not know why this happens, I will search and uncover this bug." <<<--- there, that is where the bug is uncovered. He fixes the purge code from whatever simple or broken strategy the first coder used, perhaps deleting the comment that says "// might need to prune the cache, but the OS probably does that when it gets too big"

• Marketing: "What? We were busy hiding the links on the home page until you respect our new iPad2, but ok, we can crank out a press release if it saves us from the vorpal blade."

Investors want higher margins but obviously Amazon is investing substantially in itself. So far, though, Bezos seems to be winning the tug of war. Many analysts are glad to see higher revenue and feel that Amazon is cementing its position at the top of the ecommerce world. AMZN shares are up over 5% despite the earnings miss.
I believe your "top 5 highest taxing states" is inaccurate. In 2000, at least, California ranked 19th in combined state + local tax burden according to the U.S. Census Bureau, which is decidedly middle of the pack.

Is that burden in dollars-per-capita or burden in percentage-of-GDP? Since California has a higher GDP per capita than most states you could both be right.

* Note that though the ranking of 19th does factor in our larger economy, it doesn't account for the reality that more highly advanced economies require a better trained and more specialized bureaucracy. So just as we shouldn't be surprised when Sweden has a better compensated civil service than Namibia, all things being equal we should expect for California government to account for a larger portion of the economy than Mississippi's or Oklahoma's*

Sweden vs Namibia ain't exactly California vs Oklahoma. In particular, Oklahoma's state government provides pretty much exactly the same services as California's... it just provides them much cheaper.

The point remains, I think, that it's fairly disingenuous when folks (almost always folks whose own personal ox is unlikely to be gored in this case) suggest that Prop 19 is responsible for the California budget woes. California's state government is rolling in money, it's just that they're incredibly bad at spending it.

I think the word we are looking for is "fan club". A community participates, a fan adopts and loves. A community is bidirectional. Whatever interaction happens around Microsoft's products is not. It's interaction between fans, not between the fan and the object or the creator of its devotion.
Out of curiosity, where did you get the addresses? I didn't see them on the site.
From the other post about HIB2: http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2007470

I don't know how authoritative that is, but it sounds promising.
Someone should file a bug report, cos that is obviously a design flaw.
yes. This is one dilema I had. In fact two. You usually drag items to trashbin. And if you are deleting 1 item one click is more optimal. (you can here more optimally and consistently with other tools/.. delete >1 items however)

The first dillema is 95% decided. Because we value consistent interface more (there will be other tools). The second is currently not there for the sake of less duplication and cleaner interface, but because delete is the most common "tool" we might add it to the feedback items so you can delete with one click.
I found it very useful to look at a few other Webmachine examples to understand this. http://bitbucket.org/justin/webmachine/wiki/Home
The thing is, we've long past the point where it's a difficult task to exceed the the perceptual limits of the human ear. Even the middle-of-the-road DACs are indistinguishable from perfection now, and the rest of the circuit is just ensuring that any noise in the power supply and the output traces are below a certain threshold - not trivial, but the industry has built techniques and for doing this in much, much more demanding applications than audio reproduction, and so it's not like you have to use exotic components or circuit design techniques.

Yes, there's lots of crappy audio kit out there, but it's not hard to get superfluously good stuff either.

I think people just liked the fact that in the 60's and 70's you could make a hobby out of actively pursuing a better sound in amplifiers, and are disappointed that some time in the 80's it became possible to buy gear that was indistinguishable from perfection, and these days it's not even expensive.

Neil Young should have focused on headphones, or speakers - that's an area where there's still detectable amounts of distortion. But that would require something more difficult that attaching a big branding effort to a solved problem.

You can take the mask off and just say you’re a Trump supporter.

Anyone else who would’ve tweeted the things he has for the past several years would’ve been banned a long time ago.
Why does the left have to censor the right? Surely they should be able to beat the right with logical and reasoned arguments?

Censorship has always struck me as a tool that a side which isn't confident in its arguments uses.
The thing is, Twitter has data on how people responded to those two Tweets. If Trump gets prosecuted, I expect we will see responses to Trumps tweets as evidence in court. My guess is they can make a statistical causal claim. Example, what if some of those who broke into the capital earlier replied to one of Trump's tweets in such a way as to suggest they were incited by Trump?
I suspect no matter what we do you’re going to continue arguing in bad faith while pretending nothing happened Wednesday and Trump isn’t sui generis.
I spent the last few days reading the donald site and it's just as bad as everyone says it is. Calls for refreshing the tree of liberty, calls for violence (in minecraft), etc.
> Lets start off there, anything related to violence/physical harm has no place, anything else, its totally fair game, and is protected by the 1st amendment.

I assume you mean is -not- protected.

> If you think Parler does a poor job of moderation and stuff being said on there offends you, guess what, don't download the app and don't use it.

And if Apple thinks they're doing a poor job, don't post it in their app store? Or should Apple be constrained somehow and forced to carry it?

If Apple thinks the violent content on Parler is out of control and needs moderation, isn't that Apple's own decision? If you don't like Apple's choice of what content to curate in their app store, "then guess what, don't buy an Apple phone and use the app store"? OR should you have more recourse beyond this?
I think this is an instance of the biggest, most disastrous fallacy of the last half century: that a company is a social utility.

It’s not. It’a a bunch of rich people in California. If you want a public utility for communication and socializing, go help build one. Contribute to Mastodon or the rest of the fediverse. Write to representatives (or become one yourself) and propose legislation to fund a public tool that is actually owned by the people. It could even be part of the fediverse!

But asking Twitter to do any random thing someone wants because they are a big company is insane and is going to cause us nothing but pain.

For me, it's mostly learning by doing. At my day job as well as with my hobby projects. I initially started learning about the containerization and Kubernetes stuff mostly out of interest before I realized that there is a massive benefit to them, even during the development phase. I guess that's the reason why they are parts of most DevOps toolkits.

While hobby projects can be a great start, the best way to learn is in a team of experience coworkers. The basic concepts of something like Kubernetes are very easy to grasp, leading people to believe Kubernetes is easy and completely missing the giant complexity the system introduces (that's way many people on here say its overpowered for 99% of projects, which I tend to agree on). Even with seemingly simple things like Docker, there is a massive amount of depth that's in my experience very hard to find in blog articles or YouTube tutorials.

That being said, if you have to chance to learn about such things from your coworkers by applying them on your day job, I think the best choice is stell do have hobby/testing projects and combine the learning by doing aspect with some good books. I also recently learned about two YouTube channels that do a pretty good job with explaining such tools and applying them to the real world in a beginner friendly way. [1][2]

I do believe that. Certainly violence begets more violence and the police are certainly not blameless.

All of that said, lets be careful not to boil this down to property damage so we can justify it. 19 people died in those summer riots. The property destruction affected mostly poor areas and minority business owners.

The duplicity is stunning and terrifying.

"I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that."
I've done a few of these for people at home (albeit not quite so complex) and for myself. I built the application/infrastructure monitoring systems where I work as well. As one poster said above, document everything, even the commands. It works, although it is tedious. But there is a certain joy using something you created, even if it is something of a "labor of love" to maintain it.

I want to get out of IT after 20 years, but there is no way I will stop tinkering with OSs, Raspberry Pi IoT devices, SoC, light coding, etc. It's different when it's a hobby than when you're faced with time constraints, budgets, and nagging bosses.

A project I'm about to start at home is taking an existing 1080P dash cam (front and rear) that features great night vision and hack it using a Raspberry Pi that handles motion detection, sends stills, and uploads to the cloud. Sure, I could go buy an extant system that just works, but what's the fun in that? It's like Legos. I could go buy my kid a fully-assembled car or spaceship, but I'd rather him learn how to follow instructions, see cause and effect, and experience the pride of a job well done. YMMV. There is something really uplifting in seeing "complex" technical stuff working that you yourself built. It doesn't even have to be as good as existing tech.
I can have bank accounts in multiple jurisdictions. If I print off the private key and send it to a safety deposit box in Canada are the BTC still under American jurisdiction?

An institution could maintain copies of the keys in multiple jurisdictions for business continuity purposes. If push came to shove it would be tough to ascertain when the BTC moved borders.
I used to work at a place where studying organizations was important to the business itself, so we focused a lot on things like Netflix's culture slide deck. One of my favorite parts of that deck is how it points out that a company's culture is what happens every day, not what is painted on the wall in fancy letters. It made me reflect on the discrepancy between what my employer at the time said, and how they acted.
It's in the context of sexual assault. If you don't think "beware of (skin color) (gender)" is bad, change it to another ethnicity or gender.
Then they can pay some geeky kid in pizza and beer to spend the hour or less it would take that kid to get the supposedly-elaborate toolchain setup (to the point of "drag and drop this text that looks like what you type into the Reddit onto this thingy and it'll spit out a pretty document") and it would still be phenomenally cheaper than what you're charging while being significantly more valuable in the long run.
> but your OOP needs to be on point if you hope to build something maintainable for the web.

OOP != maintainable codebase
Unfortunately I don't have time to ponder with this (explaining would be beyond the scope of a quick HN comment), but I think that using Markov chains/HMMs would be a nice way to attack this problem...

(Disclaimer: my area of expertise is not ML or AI, but I remembered this from one of the more interesting courses at university and always wanted to code something using it. If you know your way around these fields, I would love to read about other ideas/approaches...)
I reject the term 'brainwash' and choose instead to replace it with 'creative visualization.' A technique familiar to most serious athletes and the rationale behind the word 'training.'

The thinking is simple: Visualize your goal in full detail before you actually create it. Edwin Moses' '13 steps' rule is a perfect example.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edwin_Moses

In this regard, it's not that far from 'The Law of Attraction.' Through discipline, hard work, patience, and confidence, the goal approaches you as you approach it.
> Flagged for zero content.

The question itself may not present any content but the discussion it has started has already created some.

Also, the thread currently has 70 points. Clearly, some people are interested in it, which I think, invalidates your assumption that the thread is pointless.

I really cannot see why you needed to flag it.
It's a shame so many young people these days don't have her spirit. You don't save a years worth of allowance, you go find what you're good at and share it with others.
I really don't understand why everyone thinks Craigslist will have a problem with this. They do not profit off of Housing/Sublet submissions. This will only increase traffic to their site, and some users that aren't too familiar with Craigs will possibly use the site for something Craigslist does make money (e.g. jobs).
Myhrvold's approach to IP really disturbs me. The intent of patents was to protect the time and money an individual or company put into invention, not to stifle innovation by locking away every trivial notion behind a licensing fee.
Piracy is nowhere near equal to shoplifting.

Also, I'm curious how the DoD is going to enforce US law on non-US soil.
Totally agree. It can be it's biggest weakness, but it can also be its greatest strength depending on what you are trying to achieve. If you are trying to improve a specific aspect of your behaviour/life, then a specifically tailored set of mantras would be appropriate. If you are seeking to generally improve, then a 'preset' set of mantras could be as good, and may even be better (based on the principle that you can't improve what you don't know needs improving).

I guess an analogy being the reason I like reading HN - it covers topics that I didn't know I would find interesting until I read about them. If I only read web pages specifically covering my interests, I'll never grow as a person as I would be forever stuck in my limited worldview.
He would lose his ability to process credit cards, possibly having bank accounts closed etc.
But see, when your union negotiates, the result is uncertain. It might end up with you getting more money, with you getting the same amount of money, or with your union rep murdering a baby and then framing you for the crime. Do you really want to take that chance?
> I never had time to work on my open source projects, but now that I was monetizing, I was able to spend more time doing something I love.

That's pretty cool, but also only is true because he appears to love creating marketing pages, blogging, writing a book, creating themes for applications he doesn't use himself, etc.

I'm happy that he (/you, I see you're reading along Zeno - thanks for sharing), but it's not exactly what I'd have in mind for my "working on open source" daydream :)
Good luck! I really hope this works out. So excited.
I love this idea and really dug Motif Investing back in the day (although charging for trades made it hard when weighing that vs. Robinhood)
In a Direct Listing, the company does not issue new shares. This doesn't mean they can't in the future, but it's just not part of the company's initial listing on the public markets.
You can still track campaigns using utm query parameters.
I'm inclined to agree.. They drop the CFO, and then this, without much sentiment on reddit like before. Super strange
Thanks for posting a thoughtful reply. It's great to see reasoned discussion on this site. Like most tech issues, there's a lot of nuance in this, and it's helpful to be able to hear the benefits on all sides of an issue.

More troubling is that'under-represented' groups continue use Facebook as their news source.
I’ve an unusual layout in my house and WiFi placed in the middle of the home would not reach either side of the long narrow floor plan. I tried various mesh options including ubiquitis prosumer amplifi but that proved very unreliable. Before going full enterprise grade I tried the Linksys Velop WiFi 6 that has 2 Access Points. It has been tremendous thus far. I have WiFi well out into my yard(live in country area on acreage) and aside from occasional hangs the system has been stable and covers the entire home.
Seems that "Internet communications" and "telephone communications" aren't blacked out elsewhere. It can't be something so generic?
All else being equal, I'd still rather hire the person that doesn't panic. I think it's entirely fair to subject a potential hire, especially for an important position, to a certain amount of stress.

Most people I know, myself included, have suffered from anxiety or panic attacks at some point in their lives. It's usually possible to overcome this, though. When you realize that you don't interview well, are afraid to speak in public, freeze up on dates, are afraid to speak to clients, panic when your boss disagrees with you, etc., you can either work on it or try to avoid those situations forever. Frankly, I'd rather not hire somebody who convinced themselves that they have to avoid certain situations because they can't handle them.

I do love the contractor idea, though. Perhaps it would be best to hire somebody as a contractor for a small project and then have them present in front of the entire team and ask specific questions or ask for live modifications?
The only thing that will stop Google assisting the USA is if:

1) people desert google in very large numbers

2) google moves its primary headquarters to another country

(Not the administrative center, that's just a tax trick).
Disagree: the internet makes all the difference because it can scale to a much greater market. You can serve a market of millions instead of thousands.

My point about travel agents is that honeymoons are niche. You'll hopefully have one, ever.
If anyone thinks they can get good Italian food on the west coast of America...Asian food in SF is much better and affordable. Pita curry wraps for a $6 lunch? Damn, that's innovation.

> What's the fastest and cheapest way to go about creating high quality how-to videos?

Very simple:

* Watch a lot of highly-rated how-to videos.

* Take copious notes about structure and content.

* Imitate them.

Remember that video production is an art, not a science. There are some common-sense guidelines, but a good video is usually good for intangible reasons, reasons that cannot be scheduled or controlled, reasons that require experience and expertise.
2. Communication and publication can’t be censored.

Except in places it can.

* Turkey vs. YouTube and some Google features

* Iran vs. social, video, and news sites

* China vs. ... well, damn near everybody

* the US is even in on the act (thanks, DMCA)

See this article for more (and of course, that article hasn't been censored ... right?) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship

This page has a decent map giving a gauge of just how much censorship is judged to be happening in a given location: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_censorship_by_country ... along with a plethora of details about each country's activities. There's a link to a full page for each country, and -- sadly -- it's too much to even try summarizing here.

What's troubling is that the censorship is not decreasing, but increasing. Technologies to get around it are improving, sure, but the technologies to censor in the first places are spreading and improving as well.

The point is - there's no certainty that eventually free speech on the internet will prevail and censors (or even a fraction of them) will give up.
