> I'd take the higher $ regardless of what other people make.

Yes. I'll go a step further - I try to be the least educated, least skilled, most poorly compensated person in a room as often as possible. Holding to this habit means you keep looking for better and better rooms full of people as you improve. Serve in Heaven instead of Rule in Hell...
This is pretty fun. Purely for bragging, my best one:

Has anybody else managed to get the tile directive to work? Or paths?
> “Unconditional” is a nice euphemism for “free”.

No it means that there are no hoops that the people receiving it must jump through in order to receive it (e.g. look for a job, report in periodically, pass a drug test, volunteer time)
> ... you should bear in mind that the Church Turing thesis is valid only for functions N->N

This is not correct. The concept of algorithm has nothing intrinsic to do with natural numbers. You could use any data structure, e.g. finite strings of symbols from a fixed (per application) finite alphabet as is used in Post normal systems. The Lambda Calculus is also an example, as it doesn't use natural numbers, but its own expressions.
We have culturally ingrained the idea of a nice suburban garden home for the better part of a century. If you just ask them directly of course everyone will say they prefer it.

Of course, framing of questions also matters. “Do you want your child to have a safe walk to school”, “Would you like to have an alternative to sitting in traffic”, “Would you like a grocery store within walking distance” are all essentially questions in the same vein that would garner different responses.

Average house soze in the US has also gotten comically large over the past few decades. Square footage per person has basically doubled in the last 50 years, but it’s not like furniture has doubled in size. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/new-us-homes-today-are-1000-s...

It’s also worth noting that even if a majority of people want the nice suburban big house, it’s not 100% of people, and yet it is the overwhelming majority of new construction. This is reflected both in housing prices (urban areas command much higher prices per sq ft) and complaints about gentrification in historic areas that have the bones to support these kinds of environments.
Card payments are not Direct Debit, which the Direct Debit Guarantee covers. Direct Debit is a different payment method that uses your bank account number and sort code. From the page you linked: "...making Direct Debit the UK’s safest payment method".
Thanks for your responses so far folks. I've decided to scrap my progress with the iPhone SDK and contribute to the open source community. I'm just a bit stumped as I'm completely new to this idea. More accurately, I'm still deciding on which project to work on.

As far as math is concerned, I'm just uninterested in it I suppose. I can definitely pass my math classes if I put more time in them. Math is just very bland and boring.
Consider that their goal is not to have a huge community, but to have a piece of software that does what they want, and that dealing with a community is a lot of work. So they've chosen to use this as a filter in order to exclude people they perceive as causing more trouble than it's worth, and limit their community to people who pass through their "trial by fire" of having to be both willing and able to deal with compiling from source.
To make a long story short: the general standard of Japanese policing at present is quite similar to the prevailing standard of US policing in the 1950s. The primary investigative tactic is coercing confessions, and I do not use the word "coercing" lightly. Japanese cops can jail someone on suspicion of wrongdoing for 20-something days prior to having to bring a magistrate into the picture, during which time they're routinely physically and emotionally abused and made to think that signing whatever the cops put in front of them will be the quickest way to end the ordeal.
Wow, thank you I really appreciate that you take the time to write this. It's true, it's a very young project and I've choose to show it at his early stage because like you I love to execute improvement/fix based on feedbacks! Some of your comments confirm my thoughts about what I need to focus (ready to play dataset + what I'll find after account creation), but you also just gave me some hints that I wasn't aware of. (it's now obvious that the profile redirection sucks). Thank you very much. Back to my code :)
$40 short weeks in a row, or in this case, ~650,000 $500 bills short in a couple years :)
I would assume that evaluation includes all of Facebook, not just the core portion.
An example of where this has worked (though admittedly the reason it has continued to work as long as it has is that the size of the community has dwindled down to a very small, manageable number over the last 20 years) is AmigaOS, where there are 30 year old libraries that are still updated, and where the updates are still expected to be drop-in replacements for the previous version.

Police can hold suspects for 23 days; those interrogations are private; Japan only recently re-introduced trial-by-jury (2009!); etc

Here's a nice 28 minite radio programme talking about the problems. http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b01phktd
No, I understand. I implemented the first suggested "fix" in your article that you say "won't work."

You seem to think caching two copies of a file is unreasonable (it all depends on how big your site is I guess), but in our case all pages are dynamic and uncachable so this requirement doesn't apply to us.
I will not donate to the FSF until I clearly understand how it works (charter/bylaws). I requested this information once and was told that it is too costly to get it into digital form.

For the same reason, I am against assigning copyrights to the FSF. I would like to be sure that once someone takes over from Richard Stallman, FSF under new leadership will not be able to do things to my code that I wouldn't want done.
Also if you are a big cloud customer.

I know, I consulted for one.

That said, it wasn't reliable.

One day: two sw engineers onsite, we recreated the problem, they went back to yake care of it.

Another day: what seemed like a student from a third world country on a very cheap helpdesk asking irrelevant questions instead of reading the description.

Another day again: answer by "head of <something>" acknowledging the issue and pointing to a fix coming <at some specified time>, only IIRC the fix didn't arrive, at least not at the time that person said.
Fair point. But another angle is in order for you to introduce some architectural changes, it better translate to improvements in the business-side metrics, which on most cases in hard to quantify beforehand, which leaves you into babystepping it as your only option.

In your shoes maybe i'd also see it as a challenge in my own soft skills. At the end of the day it's also about selling them that your idea has some potential.
It's just another layer (or two) of abstraction. Like the jump from machine code to something like Ruby.
Standard practice for big four in situations like this is to consult your independence and risk team.

Tender responses typically undergo quality and risk review to ensure that included references are allowed.
Is this comparison based solely on the idea that both of these tools are outdated? If you have something deeper in mind, could you fill in some details of this metaphor? I haven't seen Smith charts before, but a cursory read of TFA doesn't really evoke punch cards.
Would you comment on what made your current and last jobs disappointments?

I don't even know what the baseline is for satisfying programming jobs. All my jobs have been similar in terms of points of frustration.[0] I've just kind of accepted it as normal.

[0] I would elaborate but don't have time right now. At work.
> Curses is super long.

It's also a very "old school" interactive fiction game design -- heavily item-driven puzzles, some of which can be made unsolveable by mistake, and at least one maze. Even the author has retrospectively described it as being "by any reasonable standard too hard".
I just don't understand this thinking. The sea levels 8000 years ago allowed people to walk from the Netherlands to England. Climate change is consistent. Yes, humans are causing it this time and we should try to stabilize the climate. But..

>There is nothing "too extreme" to attempt at this point in time

No, this is not the apocalypse. Aren't you concerned that an even more extreme version of yourself would do something very, very bad to many, many people for the sake of the cause? Extremism is bad.
How are you thinking of doing it differently? DELETE is typically considered idempotent.
As I mentioned in another thread, I used to work for EIG... and 'one does not simply reply to a CSR request without first offering an upsell...' was a meme that was posted quite often.
How exactly? This makes no sense to me.
Software should be secure by default. Don't blame the user.

mySQL in comparison wont even let you install without setting a root password. And it only listen on localhost/unix-socket by default. Then you need to explicitly add another user if you want to allow it to login from a non local ip. I don't think it's even possible - to both set a blank root password and allow it to login from a public IP.

So you really think the solution is to blame some low level worker, and sue him/her? The blame should always be on the people in charge, usually the CEO, who set the bar for engineering practices, proper training, etc, or the lack of.
I see, it's true. But the consequences of not accepting outside investment for US for moral reasons would be a disaster, as the money would just go to more corrupt countries.

As Jordan Peterson expressed it quite well, the problem with United Nations is that they have too many issues to solve instead of figuring out what action has the highest ROI and focusing efforts there.

Another issue is that already people in less corrupt countries prefer not to have babies, which means that the workforce in corrupt countries is growing much faster. US has to be very smart if it wants to stay relevant.
Yea, I'm not actually all that fond of the SP4, but it has utterly convinced me that touchpad + touchscreen is massively superior to either one alone. It's so natural feeling.
It was definitely part of the agreement when I worked in Univerisity IT, and part of the agreement when I accepted an offer from a FAANG company.

The language you're looking for in the contract is 'preponderance of time'.
Can I ask - how did you find working with graphviz. Was this your first time working with it, how long did it take you to figure out how to place things and draw?

I am working with drawing graphs at the moment and evaluating what library to use, its coincidentally nice to see what you built but it also seems like it was thoughtfully laid out (less edge crossings etc). I am trying to do something more dynamic so it may not be as applicable for me.

I am looking at your code as well, thanks for providing that
I've had the same problem. They locked my account which I was using since 2015 by invalidating my KYC and refusing new verification attempts. The support emails take days/weeks to get answered or stay ignored, and didn't lead anywhere.

Thankfully I had installed the mobile app on an old phone, and I was able to login through the app and withdraw my funds.

That's damning both for their customer support and their security. Good thing they have decent existing and upcoming competitors.

I don't see the $100B valuation sustaining unless it becomes another meme stock ala TSLA. But then we're back to our issue, most Tesla users love their car, most Coinbase users hate it. How could it get widespread retail endorsement?
>I've seen pictures of guys holding uranium rods with barely any protection.

I've done this and I'm okay.
Could someone please post a comment or link on the state of constitutional protection for strong encryption?

I think I've read that the courts have ruled that dissemination and use of strong crypto algorithms is protected by the First Amendment, but I'm not sure of that.
What makes me sick is this fear-mongering. Go back to the industrialization in England if you want to see real pollution. We have made astonishing advances when it comes to increasing air quality. Catalysts in cars, all kinds of regulations about emissions. We are constantly trying to remove harmful substances from our lives - but that requires evidence, we can't just randomly blame 'chemicals'. It's far from perfect, I know that. But the average lifespan of humans has steadily gone up.
I feel like Claris could have been much more successful had they broken away from Apple sooner. I'm guessing they lived in some sort of bubble though because the main devs who left Claris in the 90s went on to build software for BeOS instead of Windows.

Are there any software companies that have had lasting success selling software exclusively for a niche OS like Apple's (either Mac OS or OS X)?
He has only asked 8 people.

It's one of those things that after a few years you look at and wonder why there's string and String, int and Int32, you google it, you find out it's simply an alias.

So he's probably only interviewed juniors.
Screenshots are grabbed from the server. At the moment there's nothing you have to include on your end.
If only someone could write the definitive Bitcoin / WhatsApp / Flappy Bird Trifecta article that fully encapsulates the the get rich unit tests embedded in the HN carbon-based CPUs, we could have more stories about Node.js and Angular.js on the front page.
So I'm guessing Periscope must use HTTP Live Streaming for video? https://developer.apple.com/library/ios/documentation/Networ... :
Important: iPhone and iPad apps that send large amounts of audio or video data over cellular networks are required to use HTTP Live Streaming.
This book has major irritations for me:

1. It is set in a far future that is technologically identical to 1940. People who write about the future should not miss the mark so completely. The characters are still writing letters by hand and spending days travelling around a single continent.

2. It is hilariously sexist. The intellectual elite are simply assumed to be male and as they may not marry, women are privileged if they are able to take them as lovers for a short time. This is the only time women are mentioned in the book.

3. The main character takes the I-Ching seriously. He's supposed to be a genius, and yet he believes in horoscopes.

4. I found the story itself to be rather boring. I honestly don't know how the author could have won any awards. Perhaps it is much better in German and it is merely the translation that is bad.
You’re welcome! Hope you’re doing well!

(For those who don’t know, all the partners in a YC interview ask questions of everyone simultaneously— this is complicated at the best of times and totally nuts when you’re trying to answer technical questions about distributed systems and questions about how you’ll build the business, but it’s a great mental workout!)
Fun times ahead if document.write isn't already supported. When I rewrote Gecko's HTML parsing, accommodating document.write was a (or maybe the) dominant design issue.
UNIX idea of (almost) everything is a file is probably one of the reasons that made its concepts and quirks so long lived and why we have to deal with them even today. Although I agree with many of the points of "the UNIX hater's manual" no other OS came even close the influence that UNIX has had.
But after it's already made record-breaking profits and is a huge cash cow with recurring revenue. You could just say "hey, I'll hire one single contract developer to do these kinds of quality of life things" and make a fraction less profit.
Having a cleanup script that strips the + in an email is the first thing they do.
My limited understanding of Chinese politics (who we should be comparing to as America's primary competition in the world) is that leaders must spend time getting experience at lower levels of government in order to be in high levels of government. This means that politicians theortically have experience. Certainly at face value and in good faith, this seems like a good idea.

It seems like a very sane position to want your governors to have run a city, and your presidents to have run a state.

It seems like you would want your admiral's to have run a ship. It seems like you would want your CTO's to have run a technical team.

Why do you think politics is the one area where experience is not beneficial to doing the job well?

I understand upper age limits, but I don't understand term limits at all.
Because it literally helps kill the opposition?
This was my first thought too. You can vary by any subset of cookies in Varnish if you simply normalize the Cookie header by stripping out irrelevant cookies. Another trick I've used is to parse the cookie to look for the user ID and set a User-Id header on the backend response and then set Vary: User-Id.
You can indeed simulate a neural net on a 6502. Not enough nodes to model a T-800, but...
In the news it turns out that lies are more profitable than the truth, and the market has spoken.
> How did we arrive to this point where a huge chunk of the population is in one reality and another huge chunk of the population is in another reality? Segregation of information sources? Politicization of media outlets? Self-reinforcing social bubbles? A combination of all of them and more?

No, that has nothing to do with it.

Take a look on wide base social polls across Western countries.

The seemingly "extreme" right turn in Europe at around the refugee crisis wasn't one unexpected if you count that.

It's just that huge social mass was very latent, and quiet as nobody wanted to be stigmatized as a nazi. Now, it isn't.

You cannot "deaf it out," and expect the problem to disappear.

Terrible social rifts can last centuries in silence. Example: Greek independence war was more than a century ago, and seemingly forgotten before it gave Ottomans the last blow, and then 50 years later, Turkey. And it seems it never really ended given what is going on in the Mediterranean now.

In the "peaceful" Western Europe, Schleswig war has ended 150 years ago, nations of Europe embraced in brotherly love, and the legacy of the conflict was ceremonially buried 10 times over, but people of Schleswig still tell of icy silence.

My rule is that I add someone if I read a comment by them and think "that was good" and then remember I'd had the same thought about them before. (I also follow myself so I can see when I last checked the site.)
There's no sandbox. This is the Lua virtual machine, compiled to LLVM bitcode with llvm-gcc/clang and then compiled to JavaScript with emscripten.

It's all client-side.
And some of us are more absurdly defensive than others.

You pick a great example, actually. Skin color is a crucial ethnic divider in the US, but not the only one in the world. A history of technology up to 1960 that carefully avoided mentioning why all those Jewish scientists and engineers up and left Germany for the US would be weird and suspect.
Well, it is just that the english already won by domination back in the 19th century...
The government breaks up monopolies to lower prices.

The government builds new roads to lower transportation costs.

NASA spent a less than 1 shuttle mission worth of funding to research scram jets over 7 years. Resulting in the X-43 which hit Mach 9.68 using an air breathing engine. , NASA Dryden engineers said that they expected all of their efforts to culminate in the production of a two-stage-to-orbit crewed Vehicle in about 20 years. However, the program was canceled, so, in the end you could be right

Still, scramjet's are one of the few technology's to be able to reduce the cost to orbit to 1/10th - 1/100th of current costs and instead people want to wast billions trying to build a moon base?

PS: The whole point of infrastructure is to lower prices. People could drive across the country before the interstate system, but it suddenly became cheaper and faster in large part because you could avoid stoplights and pedestrians etc.
Even controlling for exercize wouldn't save this study.. Genetic and environmental factors will correlate with a sit-down lifestyle, confounding any possible conclusions.

You could rule out genetic and family environment factors by comparing identical twins who have different sitting habits. My bet is that a big chunk, if not all, of the effect here could be explained by that. For the remaining "effect", you'd still have the issue of non-family environmental collinearity, though.

Maybe you could find a job where people were randomly assigned to sitting vs. standing tasks. That'd be a nifty little natural experiment
Dedicateds give huge bang for your buck - we have a pair at Hivelocity.net.

One's got dual xeons w/ 12gb of ram and 4x500gb in raid 10 for like $320 a month, which works out to 42 cents an hour.

The other's a single xeon w/ 8gb of ram and 2x500gb raid 1 for $160 which works out to 22 cents an hour.

Both come with 10tb of bandwidth a month and are exclusively used by us, nobody is messing with our disk io or anything else.

I don't know how they compare with AWS' compute units etc but if you have an ongoing need for the hardware and you're going to be paying those hourly fees (and all the others) every day of every month then I suspect it's going to be a lot cheaper than AWS.
It's in the spirit of compliance with Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Any HR dept in the US will have a strict policy on this.
That would get them a license for the 3d sensor HW, but MS has most of the body tracking patents, as the software was developed by MS.
Interesting to hear that the number of categories associated with a yelp page correlates to how many reservations per month a restaurant receives.
Brilliant concept. I'm not sure the VSCode integration will entice a lot of people (vendor lock-in), but the whole structure and little helpers (like "Data-driven Handler Abstractions") are pretty awesome.

I'm now watching this space!
> If you do force the decision you break the entanglement.

"Measurement" causes collapse, correct? What is different about measuring the system in a way that forces how the system collapses versus a way that results in a random result?

Does the other entangled system yield random results if you try to force the collapse of its entangled sibling?

Can you describe some experimental setups? I'd like to know how we found that out.
What was the reason behind the strange cycling attire, if you don't mind me asking?

I'm describing how the phrase "Fox News propaganda" is used as a codephrase by many for a perceived ideology and messaging.

Not what I think of Fox.

I don't have a stake in that game; I'm not in the USA and don't watch any of the channels there.

You don't have to agree, but you did specifically ask why Fox was mentioned in the parent comment, and your question sounded similar to those by people who don't understand English well and deserve a simple explanation of a perplexing phrase. I attempted to provide my best guess to help you.
