"You're smart." It took me five years of coasting on that presumption before I realized that being "smart" isn't nearly enough. I'm still working (after a few more years) to develop the habits that would have come from hearing "you're a hard worker."
You need to fallback into regular file select if the browser doesn't support it. :)
confirms my everyday anecdotal observations - for women to get better men should get worse. Why women can't just reach men's level without need to lower the men' level? While taking a bit longer and more work, wouldn't that way it be more beneficial for human species?
"Watch your mouth." and "Wait your turn." Perhaps, it's something girls are harassed about more than guys, but until I stopped following that "advice" (early college), things were quite mediocre for me.
One problem is that often you can’t tell who’s going to be powerful in advance. So by the time they go under the spotlight, they have had time to clean up their dirt.
Yes, it's okay. No, it's not petty and spoiled.

You don't need anybody's permission to reject a job for any reason. Don't let people pressure you into serious commitments. If you don't want to work with Teams for $X, don't do it. You shouldn't care what other people will think of you for not taking a job.

The opinions of people who would judge you for this decision are not worth considering.
Fee-less and effectively instant?
That's the state we are at, now, though it doesn't work for all banks due to the separate clearing system for instant transfers. Normal transfers just take a bank day delay if you're unlucky.
Maybe I'm a prude but I wouldn't tip for any of those services besides getting a hair cut. Need to add elevator driver and that guy in the bathroom who stands around and makes everyone uncomfortable.
That's part of the review happening at 10k supporters.

For all practical purposes the answer is yes. It would have to licensed from Boeing. This set doesn't make sense (at 150 to 200 Euros, based on the number of pieces) without being able to call it a "Boeing 747". Few people would buy a no-name airplane cockpit. So Lego needs the trademark license.
Just out of curiosity, any "talent" here, on HN, being aggressively recruited by google/facebook? Or is this some other kind of "talent" they are looking for.

Wouldn't most talented people want to start their own company anyways?

To nearly every professor I've met, the criteria should be something similar to this: A student is introduced to a wide variety of subjects and challenged by a variety of views outside of the cultural bubble in which the student was born; such so that an undergraduate student leaves better prepared to participate in educated society and make wise decisions in civic and public discourse.

I am rather iffy on this idea, it seems like an excuse for indoctrination. More often than not, the "views outside of the cultural bubble in which the student was raised" turn out to be "the professor's own views", with other other views getting sorely neglected.

edit: It also arrogantly presupposes the professor's intellectual environment to be less bubble-like than the students'. Anyone who has spent time around professors knows this is unlikely to be true.
The edge YT has over its competitor music streaming providers is that I get access to both licensed and blatantly pirated material. I’ve been listening to 70s Japanese Rock, Apple Music has v little, YT has everything, none of what I’m listening to is licensed.
Having the car park inline with a charger is a much easier problem to solve than getting a charger to start from the ground and find it's way up to a car.

They could have the driver pull up into a generalized box/circle, and move the car forward automatically (polling with a laser (or OCR on the side of the charger) until it was in the perfect spot to be reachable.

If cars can parallel park themselves, I think they can manage pulling up a given amount of feet.

Also a little rotation on the car-facing end of the charger would help.
The recovery of these images is a great story to be sure, but the WWII photos remind me of the kind of photos that I usually take: terrible ones. Mostly just pictures of uninspired landscapes, buildings, and nondescript groups of people. Glad to know that ineptitude with a camera began long before they became ubiquitous.
First, thanks for this response. It's super interesting and get's my mind spun up in a lot of directions it wasn't going before.

Second, with this type of modeling on the separation of GUIs and system, what type of movement do you think there will be in Microsoft and Google going towards an even more minimal computer, almost entirely reliant on the cloud space for compute power. Google's machines are practically there, but from what you've mentioned above seems like a more fully "realized" approach than Google's.
Yeah, I still haven't gotten over the layout of spaces to be honest, but overall I think mission control improves my productivity so I've accepted it at this point.

Given Japan's murder rate - roughly 400 to 500 per year in a nation of 127 million - I have to wonder what would happen if you just refused to comply with a robber. What are the odds they'd proceed to attack, much less try to kill you. I suppose the clerk might risk a beating.
What I always wanted to know is, why doesn't OSX have the option to disable mouse acceleration?
cf. also Mike Maples comment on the importance of being able to draw your Biz Model with arrows in (revenues) & out (expenses) later in this vid: http://vimeo.com/16098382 (Edit: from 8th mn on). Imo, there is a lot written about "lean startup", to keep my head clear, I keep in mind: 1/Steve Blank's Customer Development (aka PG "go to your users"), 2/ testing, drawing your biz model (like explained by M. Maples), 3/Listening, being flexible, ready to (biz model) pivot (vs simple iterations) when evidence adds up [edit] 4/going to Product Market Fit. If anything simple to remember/execute on let me know.
What do you mean by SME? A quick search didn't help, unless you meant "Small to Medium Enterprise", which I wouldn't quite understand either. My own guess would be "Single Man Enterprise", but please tell us.
A conversation is probably the best measure of general intelligence we have, at least if you allow the judges to formulate arbitrary challenges: please solve exercise 3a from Caroll. Simply because you can encode almost all human experience as text.

Having said that, I do not believe that passing the Turing test necessarily a desirable property of an AI. At the very least, a AI would need to be able to lie about its childhood. Furthermore, a AI may be truly alien, so that even if we assume a truly sentient AI it would necessarily need the ability to hide its own internal states, for example a AI may view the entire sex/gender/procreation topic as mere curiosity, and instead emulate a Human well enough that it can fool other humans.
Yes, just like "North Korea" hacked Sony's servers...

Misinformation will happen on a large scale due to media outlets publishing the most enticing headlines. It will also push more anti-<insert country of choice> behaviour.
Here's how to make this news interesting to the mainstream:

"Chinese hackers cost US economy $100,000 / h"

Well, replace random accusations and numbers by facts of course, but that's a valid question: How many employees can currently not to any meaningful work because they don't have access to what they're supposed to work on? This times salaries spent on them anyway is a good lower bound for the damage done to the economy (actual damage should be higher since employees should of course add more value to the economy than their salary).
The financial aid site clarifies the definition of typical assets. Seems like families with under $300K qualify, excluding retirement accounts and primary residence home equity beyond 1.2 times annual income. As others have mentioned, it's designed to prevent families who have large savings from manufacturing an artificially low income (an extreme case is retiring early for a few years to show no income).

The takeaway is, maxing out retirement accounts like a 401k and dumping savings into paying off the primary residence mortgage are ways to accumulate net worth without accumulating "above-typical" assets.

http://financialaid.stanford.edu/site/faq/index.html#faq_20
===========

What do you mean by "typical assets"?

For applicants who report total annual parent income up to $125,000, we generally consider "typical assets" to be an adjusted total net worth of less than $300,000. Adjusted total net worth usually reflects the sum of the following amounts:

Cash, savings, checking
Investments
Home equity, capped at 1.2 times annual income
Equity in real estate other than the home
Business net worth

We do not include formal retirement assets (401k, 403b, IRA, Keogh) in our analysis.

The design of your sites is great. Do you outsource that?
Imo, universities measuring applicants mainly by test scores is a bad thing, done only because they can't find a better way to do it, but I'd hardly want to subordinate all of education to that. K-12 education should teach kids useful stuff, meta-learning habits, civic information, attempt to inspire them, etc., not solely aim to maximize their SAT scores. To the extent I found K-12 education useful at all, it was only the parts that weren't narrowly aiming at maximizing my test scores, so it'd be a shame to declare those irrelevant and ditch them.

Plus, universities do take some other things into account. I got significant credit on my university applications for an open-source project I worked on in high school, and a website I maintained (in the late 90s websites weren't exactly rare, but it wasn't yet to the "everyone has a blog" level of pervasiveness). Will a teacher who successfully inspires kids to do that sort of extracurricular stuff get credit in these evaluation schemes?

Alternatively, if you consider preparing kids for college to be the sole purpose of K-12 education, why not just measure it directly? For 2nd-grade teachers it would be difficult to measure due to the large time lag, but it'd be possible for high-school teachers. Instead of the state inventing its own tests, just use the % of students who go on to college as the metric, and then do some statistical analysis over a 5-year window to estimate the effect a particular teacher had on that rate. There are a lot of variables and each student is influenced by many teachers, but over a window you can make an estimate of whether a particular teacher had any influence (positive or negative) on college-admission rates, compared to a hypothetical average teacher of the same subject and of a hypothetically equivalent set of students (according to whatever demographic/etc. variables). A teacher version of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Value_over_replacement_player, basically.

Another idea a friend suggested is to package the game as an iPad app and put it up on the AppStore. That would give us an additional distribution channel and Apple's user review system could benefit a lot. Are my premises and conclusions correct?
I'd call S3 super-reliable rather than somewhat-reliable:

"Amazon S3 is designed to provide 99.999999999% durability of objects over a given year. This durability level corresponds to an average annual expected loss of 0.000000001% of objects. For example, if you store 10,000 objects with Amazon S3, you can on average expect to incur a loss of a single object once every 10,000,000 years. In addition, Amazon S3 is designed to sustain the concurrent loss of data in two facilities."

It's slow as a result...but that's the trade-off you're looking for in a backup.

I'm hoping you mean hearsay.
I find Milgram very interesting, but I've never heard of this particular experiment. What is really thought provoking to me is how social mores dictate behavior such as this.

In my home country of Croatia, for instance, it is completely normal to ask someone for their seat. If the person doing the asking is older, it's almost a given that the person being asked will give up the seat without much thinking or comments.

I wonder now: can a few thousand miles make such difference in personal interaction?
30% above supply at what price? (shrieks in economist)
Oh yes, I guess I missed the point they were making. In that case, I don't have an opinion. Binary in most protocols has been a solved problem for a very long time.
It's not that hard if you just use common data formats. I don't have to reimplement a json or CSV parser in every language.
> But on the other hand, it would have been a fucking travesty doing a lockdown without ordering on Uber eats and Co.

Why? I know a lot of people who didn't order food online. I get it if you say that restaurants needed it, but do most people need to order food online during a lockdown?

> And those platforms were the innovators in the space.

The main innovation of Uber Eats and Deliveroo was using fake self-employment to reduce costs and scale faster.

> Can't there be some sort of middle ground ?

Yes. There are already companies (Just Eat comes to mind) that do hire workers and do not rely on fake self-employment, and they're able to do delivery just fine. I also know a lot of restaurants that hire their own delivery employees.
"their economic model doesn't work if they have to pay their workers fairly."
Bingo. Enjoyed reading your take on this. You should consider publishing an essay on this.
Survey monkey is completely broken without js. I did a survey this afternoon on it. Considering it looks like a few radio buttons and simple forms.. I just don’t understand.

TV Ads for one.
Yeah, I think the rise of "follow-of-a-follow" "engagement" content and promoted tweets were where I heavily started to lose any impression at all that I could control/curate my Twitter timeline, and started to lose a lot of interest in Twitter altogether. (Algorithmic reshuffling of the "timeline" into something that wasn't purely time-based didn't help either, but seemed a modest symptom to the other two problems.)
You can use Kraken, Bitstamp, Cash App as well, they are all good. Coinbase is easier to use, but more expensive (Coinbase Pro is the cheap version)
No, but it makes it a lot easier.
Google can afford to keep a fast lane for YouTube. Can a new vidoe sharing startup with some unique feature compete with them?
It seemed to me that a lot of the reviews were from people who worked in the call center, not developers, network engineers, etc. No doubt that it is quite a different experience between the two groups.
What was that Google mantra again?

Evil has many shades of grey but wasting a computer that could literally educate an entire schoolhouse in Africa and keeping this old, stupid joke going must be somewhere south of good.
Usually list comprehensions are a much cleaner way to write a map. This I love.

Personally what I love most about using more functional code aren't the clever lambda's and stuff, I actually try to avoid that because it looks weird in Python. What's really awesome is enclosing named functions inside bigger functions and using closures.

The result is code where:

1. nobody can, by accident or intentionally, use inner functions of your algorithm,

2. self-documented code (function name says what the code block does)

3. you aren't passing a gazillion parameters around

4. or making everything messy with a bunch of unneeded OOP code. [I don't like useless OOP code. Objects-just-for-the-sake-of-encapsulation are silly.]

Also, that preview window thing you get when you click in the description text.

Personally, it annoys the hell out of me because I'm a compulsive clicker and I really wish there was some way to turn it off permanently but it's definitely another example of a change made to core search.

why use Orbitz in the first place? It seemed very terribly done few times I searched with it. I like Expedia, even though it is not significantly better.

But this year I used Kayak, Expedia and ITA's Matrix only to search for flights. I then booked directly with the airlines.

I too would like to know this.

I recently switched from Django (I was also using Clojure, but switched back to Python for web stuff because nobody around here knows Clojure...) to web2py and love it. I've been using the integrated editor out of lazyness, but will be ramping up my web development effort soon so could do with a good IDE. I've tried and liked WingIDE in the past, but am open to alternatives too.
That's why it wasn't included in the ecmascript 6 draft. In es6, "async" and "await" are future-reserved keywords. It's kind of a process of marking variables named "async" as deprecated. The spec authors have to balance compatibility with making the language pleasant to use.

The "Zed's so fucking awesome" follows the Rails is a Ghetto post, and the start of acrimony between Zed and other members of the Rails community, and so was more of a consequence of the aforementioned acrimony than it was the cause.
Yeah I have to second this, a lot of people are really off the mark about how "useful" their abstract solutions to a problem are. Often something is very over-engineered. Once you have to build anything complex on that type of foundation, well, good luck to you!

Besides from what I understand the lack of generics is mostly about compile time speed. I love how fast go compiles and would rather that not change.
A Chrome wepbapp would be great!
I dual booted for years, and finally made the switch to Linux full time just over two years ago.

Configuring a fresh Linux install takes a bit of effort, but that effort is adding things I want to make it just the way I like, rather than removing unnecessary cruft to get it more or less how I like. That's a key difference for me.
Oh for goodness sake...

> SM is indeed that proof -- she is admirably surviving without fear, and being mostly happy at it as well.

When a nuclear power plant nearly melts down, there are two possible reactions.

One is to infer that the plant design is less safe that calculated, and reason accordingly.

The other is to say, 'hey, the plant almost melted down but it didn't actually melt down! Nuclear power plants must be really safe! This is great!'

Which do you think you are doing?

(In statistical terminology, we are dealing with heavily censored data: deaths are not recorded because of the rarity of the disorder, and we have a filtered distribution of only the datapoints/people still functional enough to have survived at all. If one of the uncensored datapoints, or the only datapoint, is an extreme outlier on a variable, such as experienced violence, that implies the whole distribution will be as or more extreme outliers.)

How can UK see less numbers than Italy when they imposed a cuarantine much later at the exponential curve? It's just impossible mathematically
I'd be interested in reading any evidence, could you provide some links?
For my Boy Scout troop’s bigger hikes, we would download the PDFs, mark our trails with highlighters in Preview, then print and laminate them to circumvent this issue. Some of the maps are still good to use today, a decade later.

Caveat that I have no idea if this is/was legal, but there’s ways to get physical copies of the maps without dealing with the bureaucracy :).
My mistake. I misinterpreted the wording as being a modifier of the range on SARS-CoV-2. The rest of my comment stands.

Though 0.5% is 2 order of magnitude less than 50%. Not to mention that the plague had a mortality rate between 1 - 15%...
As someone who has raced formula race cars and who has been an enthusiastic participant in racing simulations since way back in the old days of Grand Prix Legends let me assure you - a simulated race car has almost nothing in common with the real experience other than your hands are turning a wheel and your feet push pedals. The sensations in a real race car are simply overwhelming - the noise, g forces, heat, and the lack of being able to see much other than straight ahead. Grand Prix Legends and iRacing were/are both tremendous fun and a real achievement - but they are nothing like the real thing.
TL;DW: Memory constrains prevented the inclusion of enemies in the game (due to the space taken by rotoscoped images), so he got the idea of xor-ing frame pixels together to get the outline of the main character, kind of a shadow, and made that the enemy. He also squeezed a bit more memory from an "auxiliary" memory unit to animate guards.

Kind of light on details, though :)
I've dreamed of an eink backcountry map. Ideally it would be a quad fold with a stilus, but a commercial e reader would work if it had the right software.

Hobby eink displays are a little too expensive for me to buy to experiment with.
But that’s still a tall ask at the high end, and splitting the Mac lineup into models that can’t all run the same software isn’t appealing.

Apple has already done this. The 68K to PPC transition wasn't nearly as quick as the PPC to x86 transition. They released new 68K Macs after releasing PPC Macs. The apps were "fat binary".

When I bought my first PPC Mac, all of my apps were on an external SCSI drive. I attached the drive to PPC Mac and it ran native software.

If the processor advantage never reaches the point that it can emulate x86 at full speed, then the Mac line probably won’t transition,

Again it doesn't have to. I had a first generation PPC Mac 6100/60 that ran emulated code slightly slower than my accelerated 68030-40Mhz LCII. My 68K Mac was about half the speed of the high end 68040-40Mhz Macs. It couldn't emulate programs that used the 68040's FPU at all. There were third party hacks that you could run like SoftwareFPU (a 68K program nonetheless) that could emulate an FPU.

The high end programs are always the first to be ported. The other apps are "good enough" and depending on how much time an emulated app spends running native operating system code, it won't be all emulated.
A thousands strong Moscow Orthodox affiliated Christian service (in the traditional form of a parade/walk) for the victory against coronavirus, the service happened 2 weeks ago in Ukraine, the text in Russian:

https://tk.media/news/torzhestvo-pravoslaviya-v-vinnitse-sos...

A traditional part of the service is usually the kissing of the image ("icona") of a Saint - the same few "icons" are kissed by those many people.

This are daily "parade/walk" style services against coronavirus in Moscow. Now the priests say that they maintain social distance during the service
https://novayagazeta.ru/news/2020/03/19/159936-v-moskve-nach... . Starting March 17 the procedure of kissing of the same Cross by everybody present at the service is cancelled. Seems to be a progress .
