> It turns out that out intel services knew about this and its potential since January

I would hope they knew about it since January because I knew about it since January and likely so did you.

And since the beginning of February I've been warning people in ever more concrete terms.

Here it was, right here on HN in January:

Which is the oldest western article I've been able to find. Are there older ones?
“For context, most people live in "neighborhoods" comprised of several high rise apartments in a compact area w/ a shared green space (see pic).”

Off-topic I know, but this is a pretty good description of the Sim City “donut” shape that was essential to building a megalopolis and winning the game. You built residential units around a park center, and with the right conditions that developed into white high-rises like those in her linked picture.
I think there's only one thing that comes closer to reality: MS Flight Simulator...
Who goes to the ER for flu like symptoms? Even with insurance the costs would make this a fairly expensive trip, and the wait times can involve hours. I mean I’m sure there are some but it’s hard to imagine that this a choice that lots of people would make.

If you want something prescribed the local urgent care center is a much quicker and much cheaper option. For children you can also generally get same day appointments at most pediatric clinics.

It would require a pretty severe case to justify a trip to the ER.

I'm not so sure it's a bad interview question. Or rather, perhaps it's only bad if you, as the interviewer, have a specific answer in mind.

We used it once with the caveat that "there's no right answer, we don't really know every step either, lets see what happens". We collaborated with them, it was great, and by the end of the conversation were pretty certain we wanted to keep the conversation going by hiring them.

Set your expectations accordingly, I suppose.
I think if you took away drug related arrests, the U.S. incarceration rate would be dramatically lower. So that's a case of stupid, fundamentalist laws more than stress causing crime.
The open source IBM Viavoice disappeared.

Dragon Server is expensive and proprietary but likely the best.

HTK/Julius is good.

Cmu Sphinx is my preference. Sphinx4 is java and works good if real time is not an issue.

Cmu's pocketsphinx is written in C and fast. Also works well on embedded devices/mobile phones.

To start I would download the sphinx's, they come with decent acoustic/language models on sf and try the demos out to see if they suit your needs. Once you want good accuracy thats when the fun begins...
You're only saying that because we all know that China is on the rise. If it was 2000 you would say it proves that they're poor and trying to build infrastructure.

Besides, we all know that China is on the rise and that they do a lot of exports.

Does anyone have a link to an article detailing the work that has been done since that time? Where do we stand now?
I'm calling Greenspun on the fact that, if you want to make the argument that the investment is bad, using ridiculously overstated made up numbers is not an honest way to do it.
Most colleges do not have $40k in tuition, and most people would not be able to make $50k at eighteen years old without a college degree. That's my point. The actual average cost of college is probably overstated by a factor of two.
Congratulations, HN! In (at this point) 15 comments, you've managed to give more context, analysis, and insight than conveyed by the entire article.
One of the best articles I've seen written about the future of the web and moving past the constraints developers place on UX due to the way we've built web apps in the past.
Looks like this isn't the popular opinion on HN right now, but I fully agree.
Hey, the NFL forgave Michael Vick. Anything is possible.
Or maybe it's write-only except for random audits.
I downloaded the code and had a look. For context, I've ramped up on quite a few code bases in my day in a bunch of different languages. Here was what I thought would happen in order of likelyhood:

1. The code would not build at all on a standard linux distro unless you knew exactly what packages to install. (I had an interview like this once)

2. Locking the key was going to be inexplicably linked to the operation (got very worried when I saw `add_delta` and `do_add_delta`). Turns out add_delta just calls do_add_delta wrapping it in a lock. The lock API is very simple.

3. There would be a massive amount of code duplication that would make it difficult to add this feature without doing serious refactoring. Turns out you basically just change `bool incr` for `math_op_t` or something and provide a way to map from binary/string input to math_op_t.

This would be very easy. Depending on how comfortable I was with the editing environment they talk about elsewhere in the hn comments it wouldn't be too bad.
We already have companies who participate in Free File and it's already not working so I don't really see how the incentive to represent my interests thing is working out.
> Terrorist is an ideological word, therefore it doesn’t always represent everyone’s views of a certain group.

> This has always been like this, we don’t live in a cartoon where the bad guy is 2 dimensional.

I completely agree and this was more or less the point of my comment. I'm not attempting to justify the actions of any group in particular, and I certainly don't endorse the use of indiscriminate violence against civilians for any reason.

I'm often bothered by the use of the word "terrorist" because I think it is often used as a means of putting us into this 2 dimensional world and creating a shortcut out of meaningful discussions. I will be the first to admit that my own government is guilty of terrorism under most definitions that people in my part of the world use.

I appreciate your comment, and apologize if mine came off as callous towards people who are suffering as a result of this conflict.
I’ve read that Dijkstra liked to say “becomes” for the same reason.
I mean the point is to test a re-flyable vehicle. A single use glider would seem to defeat the point

Some people say a language like Haskell would be no harder, and maybe even easier, for someone with no previous programming or CS experience, than something like C or Python. Comments like that make me wonder if they're right!

(Haskell is a pure functional language. And so has the same reaction as your friend. Variables are immutable. Anything else would be madness.)
I'd recommend also implementing the DIRECT algorithm, which balances local and global search very well (but consequently will not refine as aggressively near the current [possibly only local] optimum as other algorithms):

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Donald-Jones-5/publicat...

You probably also want to include some advantages/disadvantages of each algorithm. How robust against local minima is it? Up to how many dimensions does it work well? How is the convergence speed when started far from the optimum? Does it work well with few function evaluations? Etc.
Almost all hedge funds have a hurdle rate
Several layers of anti-spoofing.

They detect mask-attacks, replay attacks (put the phone with video into the camera; highjack a webcam input and send a pre-recorded video faking to be real-time from zoom for example), and, of course, still images.

Give it a try!
Yes, Primer! Have no idea what happened in that movie, but it was amazing.

It really gave a good reproduction of Silicon Valley corporate culture.
I wonder if they could use firecracker or something to reboot the browser (and nuke persistent/ephemeral storage) on each page load. They could even bounce each user across all their hosts by default.

For trusted sites (ones the user logged into), this could be disabled.

Is it bad that I think that looks just fine? What am I missing?
I won't name names, but you'd know the names I could name. It is true that, so long as you stay away from a few key third rails, the #clojure channel is generally a great place. One need only to go to #scala on a bad day to see what a few bad actors can do to make a place feel oppressive.

There's no value in such arguments tho. It's an undeniable truth that the Clojure community (and its libraries) are far less macro-friendly and macro-centric than other lisps. Even PLT Scheme seems more comfortable with defmacro usage.

The post-World War II US had even higher top marginal income tax rates than that, but many see the US 50s as glory days economically. Certainly there was a lot of progress and innovation going on.

94% for 1944 and 1945. Above 90% until 1964. Above 70% until 1982.

This is another example of the results discovered by the Resenhan experiment, where psych students committed themselves to asylums intentionally, but then could not prove their sanity and were locked against their will. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rosenhan_experiment)

We live in a very interesting world when trained professionals cannot distinguish between people who pose no danger to themselves or others from people who at one point pretended to be abnormal, but were not.

A while back there was a post on Reddit, (maybe from their blog?) about the most addicted [to reddit] cities in the US and the top city was Eglin Air Force Base, FL. Reddit is alright if you like to congregate in the small subs that exist, but wondering into the large ones and defaults are going to be filled with people shilling for various reasons.
What's so significant about GEB? I bought it on recommendation from a friend, but haven't gotten that far in my reading queue yet.
The correct comparison is JWT vs sessions, not JWT vs cookies. Cookies are a storage mechanism, and you would compare them to localStorage. Assuming you meant JWT vs sessions, yes, there aren't any except that it's super trendy.
Did you talk to NCMEC pre-launch about strategies for matching uploaded images against a blacklist?
An economist would say that customers and workers are capturing most of the value of the transaction, so that would be close to optimal.
It's a combination of how many people are swiping left/right on you and the ELO of said people.
The mistake you are making is that you are trying to answer the question of what the average user wants by looking at what you want. Developers are not representative of users.
Here are some more examples of OS X UI deficiencies compared to Windows:

- Keyboard acceleration for application menus is more consistent and robust under Windows. Press Alt + the underlined letter of any menu to activate it and then hunt around using the arrow keys. Press underlined letter of menu item to activate it. No memorizing arcane shortcuts.

- Windows' Taskbar is much, much more flexible than OS X's Dock because it does everything the Dock does in it's default mode and it's got other modes that the Dock does not such as having one "entry per window" instead of one "entry per application that displays a list of windows when clicked". I like entry per window mode. The Taskbar is also highly customizable via something like 7+ taskbar tweaker where you can make "taskbar entries" act like browser tabs (middle click to close). Apple never gives anyone access to the proper APIs to customize the Dock. Developers can't even change NSScreen.visibleFrame so even if you wanted to replace the Dock you couldn't do it properly and windows end up behind your replacement (a bug all dock replacement software shares).

- Apple seems to prefer buttons that have icons with no labels everywhere. Also, they seem to like little tiny buttons for things like Add/Delete an item in a list, where a Windows app would have a nice big button with an icon and a label. Windows is just more utilitarian over all and Microsoft generally seems to value function over style, which matches my own preferences.

- The Windows Explorer is much more flexible and extensible than the OS X Finder. Extending the Explorer context menu is a matter of course on Windows. There's a very robust API for it. Overall, the Finder is vastly inferior to Explorer which is also easier to navigate with a keyboard.

- Save/Open dialogs in OS X are limited. One example: I go to save a file and create a folder. Ooops, I want to delete that folder but I can't do it from the dialog, I have to go and open a Finder instance. Windows generally lets you do anything in an Open/Save dialog that you can do from a Windows Explorer instance. There's a plugin for OS X that attempts to fix some of these issues called "Default Folder X".

- Display management: OS X doesn't have handy features to quickly turn off external displays like Windows where I just hit Win+P. If I want to get rid of a monitor in OS X I have to turn it off or unplug the video cable. Maybe in Yosemite they added the ability to disable a monitor via control panel. OS X also wants to go to sleep if I close a Macbook/Pro lid, even if an external monitor is plugged in.
> Satya seems to be making the right moves embracing open source

Let's not get carried away. You can't say "Embracing" when only very few of their products or libraries are actually Open. They are still a business massively based on DRMs and Proprietary Software and Technologies.
Put up a female face up there and see what happens....
Yes, I have. Lisp code with all the tweaks to even think about approaching C in speed is ugly, ugly code.
how would one do the equivalent of the createjs timeline?
On a related note, I think what you might call "low income" service jobs are often more likely to put you in contact with those sorts of people than some middle class job. Sort of like being a maid. Maids work for the rich and the rich are more likely to be those sorts of people. So a maid is more likely to know one of those people than a middle class person and in a way that is quite personal (you're in their house, possible living under their roof). I know of cases like that involving well known people. Naturally, the perspective is more quotidian and more accurate than the kind of comical celebrity fantasies middle class people often believe.
I have been using ruby professionally for 15 years, and I have not used rails in the last 12. I have not found it difficult to avoid rails stuff when searching for help.
> Legacy technology (maybe COBOL ;) )

PHP does really well here. I once maintained one of these things. It was an awesome job. I worked ~8 hours a week, for a full time salary because if I left, they'd never be able to find someone to replace me. In fact, when I did finally leave, it took nearly 8 months to find someone and they left. I continued contracting for them for nearly 4 years until they went out of business.
Going back to the office might in fact make that situation worse. Now the person with time on their hands and low ambition isn't gonna suddenly get ambitious, but is gonna distract other people as well.
Everyone knows him for the Prince and the fact that it made his name an adjective. It's worth your time to browse his Discourses on Livy. It's like a troubleshooting guide for republics.
The opt-out bit is interesting:

>How to opt out of personalized ads

Open your device's Settings app Settings app > Google, or open the the Google Settings app (differs depending on your device).
Under “Services,” select Ads.
Turn on “Opt out of Ads Personalization” by moving the switch to the right until it turns blue.
Note: If you clear your cache, you'll lose your opt-out setting.

Especially that note at the bottom. What cache? Why is this setting only in a cache?
That's a big advantage, and a very important one. But definitely, that and the superior crypto is what keeps me on the app. Telegram is in a whole different level when it comes to usability and refinement.

Funny that you're talking about FUD.
He wants to ban the use of a public ledger with private and public keys.
As was speculated in the other thread the beta looks like it will be closed, there's a "request and invite" form on the page.

Others noted that the source mentioned "free during beta", I certainly hope that's not the case and it's truly FOSS. Sublime Text development has slowed significantly recently and the community can't continue to drive it since it's closed.

Funnily enough, Sublime Text was born out of Textmate development slowing, and I can't seem to shake that vibe here too.
This is more like using suggestion to enable relaxation.
I don't think it really implies that. Not outside of any idealized world anyway.

A few things are going on:

* Highly visible posts (on HN, you can get visibility early on by making top level posts. Very recent top level posts tend to be displayed at the top of the page) will receive more votes, up or down, than posts which are less visible.

* Votes are crude. I might see two comments which I think are good, and vote both of them up. But what if I thought one of those comments was not merely good, but excellent? I cannot communicate that to HN without either neglecting to upvote the merely good comment, or by 'strategically' downvoting the good comment.

Combine these and a good top level comment refuting a comment will likely receive more upvotes than a superb child comment refuting a comment, even if each individual reader in the thread would say that they preferred the child comment. Vote counts, despite appearing democratic from 1000', do not necessarily illustrate the will of the readers.

There is a third thing going on too:

* People love online drama and arguments.

Exhibit A would be Reddit's 'subreddit drama' subreddit, which does nothing but link to arguments on reddit for the amusement of the subscribers. Because of this, posts that are confrontational or take unnecessarily strong stances and indict large vaguely defined groups of people will rake in the upvotes. Maybe that is what HN readers want, but should that be what HN gives them? If the site ran itself as a pure democracy with no guidelines or moderator assisted shaping, it would all just be image macros and pictures of pets.
Or to put it another way, if people properly understood (i) the nature of counterparty risk, and (ii)how the average Bitcoin exchange handled transactions, suddenly those banking fees would seem like an absolute bargain.
The lead exposure angle and the removal of lead in gasolines needs more weight than the throwaway mention it was given.

People complain about data harvesting (and I don't want mine harvested either) but would would also balk at paying the "true" cost of some things if the data being sold subsidy was removed.

> Let me expand a bit on the two factors I mentioned above, redlining and taxes. In the US, schools are generally funded by local taxes

That’s not true. Only half of school funding comes from local taxes. The other half comes from state and federal sources, and are targeted to level the differences in local funding. Including state funding, many school districts have progressive funding (with poor districts getting more per student than rich ones). https://apps.urban.org/features/school-funding-do-poor-kids-...

I’m so tired of this “ad hoc water cooler chat” suddenly being elevated as the most important part of office work. It’s never in the past been valued by these execs, and on the contrary sometimes punished (hey, quit socializing and get back to work!). But, now, all of a sudden when these execs are scrambling to find some reason to return to the office, they trot out “serendipitous hallway conversations” as the great holy reason for the office’s existence. Sorry, but I call bullshit.
Assuming that they actually were routinely renting out office space at a loss, then you’re certainly correct. VCs could also use their money to throw big extravagant parties with free food and entertainment, and they’d also get lots of people to show up!
Yes, you are.

I say it on my profile (https://github.com/ChrisMarshallNY#browse-away).

Most of my repos are in the various orgs that
I manage.

Back when StackOverflow still had stories, I linked to them all (I have over 40, spread around a bit). I’m no longer interested in finding work, so writing up a “story” page is not a priority for me. I’ll get around to it, sooner or later. The GH profile markdown has links to most of the stuff out there, but not all directly.

Here’s a couple more links for you, but they are not all of them:
