I taught myself C when I was 12 years old, does that mean I'm ready for a formal job with responsibilities at 16? Ageism is not about what magical skills you have at 16 or 18 (or 20 for that matter), it's about a teenager not having experience on neither a full blown (probably monetized) project, nor on life as an adult with responsibilities.

It's not that teenagers are being discriminated because people think they lack skills. They're being discriminated because 99% of teenager cant hold a job at a fast food joint and no one want's to have to deal with the risk of hiring children to do something "important".

Reality check, if you're 16~18 and want to get your foot trough the door, get an internship. Good employers or clients are not going to give you age discrimination if you actually have proof that you're mature enough and have had experience in the field.
98% of younger than 18 year olds overestimate their knowledge. I know this from experience from programming forums. I began programming when I was 12 and I massively overestimated my knowledge when I was 18 years old. (I know there are rare exceptions.)

Also depends on the topic. A talented 18 years old can be a very good web designer. Or can solve tricky math/algorithmization problems well. On the other hand a 18 year old (except probably the caliber of Terry Tao) cannot do things where huge amount of experience, learned knowledge and maturity is needed. I am just reading the book 'Programming in Scala'. It is just plain impossible that a 18 year old could design that programming language and could write that book that way. When you read that book you feel the huge amount of knowledge and experience (in everyday programming, in other programming languages, in language design, in compiler writing and in computer science theory) which was needed to create it.

Leasing is standard procedure in the industry. There is no point tying up billions in planes when those dollars could be more productive elsewhere.

These were probably not leased because they were very cheap and had relatively little future value, making them unattractive for leasing companies.
Brilliant, too bad they can't remove seats from the planes to take advantage of upper floor to move lighter/bigger things at good prices. They couldn't get ULDs up there but could definitely stuff a lot of lighter boxes in and tie them down to the floor rails.
How does the categorisation work? Say I spend 1000 dollars at Walmart on a TV, what category does it show up as?

I looked this up the other day and came across the following on TSA.gov:

"Even prior to the passage of ATSA and the Federalization of the screening work force, Federal courts upheld warrantless searches of carry-on luggage at airports. Courts characterize the routine administrative search conducted at a security checkpoint as a warrantless search, subject to the reasonableness requirements of the Fourth Amendment. Such a warrantless search, also known as an administrative search, is valid under the Fourth Amendment if it is "no more intrusive or intensive than necessary, in light of current technology, to detect weapons or explosives, " confined in good faith to that purpose," and passengers may avoid the search by electing not to fly. [See United States v. Davis, 482 F.2d 893, 908 (9th Cir. 1973)].

While the searches at the airport will be conducted by private screening companies, such searches will continue to be subject to the Fourth Amendment requirements of reasonableness because they are conducted at the instigation of the federal Government and under the authority of federal statutes and regulations governing air passenger screening."

Ah, so you are saying that I can use the same coin twice: once on each network. Basically, as long as the networks keep splitting the coins can be re-used. However, this would devalue the coin, independently of whether the new networks introduce further inflation. This seems undesirable to most people on all the networks: if by splitting I can still only buy 10 cups of coffee with my bitcoins, just now it's more of a pain because I have to remember through which network to use it, I wouldn't want to do it.
Well said, guest recognition/personalization is where it's at -- with a consistent profile across restaurants that have E la Carte installed, people stand to gain from those features and more e.g realtime data on popular menu items ("likes"), dietary information etc. How many times have your browsed through the ginormous menus at cheesecake and didn't know what to order? With E la Carte, I can see myself trying a menu item recommended by a friend who's been to the restaurant before.

Okay. I substitute "Honest Achmed" with "N-word Jim's Southern Signed Certificates". This shouldn't be racist at all, (edit: or if it is racist, it shouldn't matter) since there's a point.

edit: There's a reason why it's Achmed, and not "Honest Matthew" or "Honest James".

(new) bitcoins can't be the reward of a project like seti@home, because to find a valid bitcoin in the first place (to mine it) takes that much computing power. Now that some valid bitcoins have been discovered, those cryptographically valid 'coins' (hashes) can be used as money. Such as a reward to SETI@home users. But whoever takes the time to mine that unique, distributed blockchain (the consensus' transaction log of all bitcoins) has to choose to give the SETI project those unique bitcoins. The process of rewarding a good deed and the process of mining a safe blockchain are independent, and can easily take many thousands of volunteer computers, respectively.

If you can design a system that generates a cryptographic secure chain of the collective transactions of volunteers computing unrelated problems... you should publish the design.
Care to share the reason why?
Are these typically equity relationships, and if so, how much?

While you have good links on how it can work when they are, they don't need to be. Good people are generally nice and want to help. The tech community can be very tight like that, in a good way. A lot of people will give you their time for the asking, with nothing in return except the satisfaction of paying it forward and helping to nurture a promising startup.
Might not want to know, but there is a password reset function.
Its nice to see this issue get some additional coverage.

I've been going back and forth about having my phone linked to Google this way. I don't like the concept of handing them an invitation to remote wipe my phone. On the other hand, there does not seem to be a better way to do over the air contact syncing etc (without signing up for MobileMe). My current position is to also sync to my desktop as a "if Google dies somehow" data store and think of my phone as somewhat more disposable repository.

I think human intentions do matter, at a qualitative level. And at a quantitative level, I hope we can agree that we're likely to kill fewer animals if we only kill them inadvertently than if we kill them both intentionally and inadvertently.

But even if you take a wholly consequentialist or utilitarian view (where the utility of animals gets some limited consideration), I would argue that eliminating (iii) through (v) is beneficial because it allows us to greatly reduce the animal suffering we cause, with minimal impact to our own wellbeing. In the modern age, pretty much no one needs fur, and certainly no one needs stuffed gorilla heads, and most people probably don't need meat. Steaks and mink coats are wasteful luxuries we can do without. However, getting rid of cases like (i) would require a great deal of effort, and getting rid of (ii) could block the path of medical advances which might significantly reduce human suffering from disease.

I just feel the statement from Peter Thiel’s book where he says a good product is nothing without a good distribution channel is rather fitting here.
I can tell you for sure that the amino acid content isn't changed in any obscure way - it's exactly the original Wuhan genome's spike protein, with two proline mutations that put it in a prefusion conformation that makes a more stable target for antibodies, a strategy developed in research for SARS/MERS vaccines. The codons and overall RNA sequence are heavily optimized in ways that outsiders and I suspect they companies themselves don't really understand. Pfizer's production version of BNT162b2 is actually BNT162b2 V9, suggesting they tried combinations of many different strategies and took the one that worked the best. You could be right that some of the optimizations had immune effects that no one knows or understands yet, but I doubt there was real intention behind it. Magic sauce indeed!

The sequence is actually public, but as far as I know no one has figured out what optimizations worked in the end aside from the uracil-depletion + 1-methylpseudouridine trick to avoid an immune response to what looks like viral RNA.

@dang for thoughts on forking the whole thread off.
Complicated invisible simulations that the player interacts with only on the periphery do not make for good gameplay. This has been proven repeatedly. Orion 3 famously killed the MOO franchise trying this approach. A variety of space fighter games promised the player a living simulated universe to play in, forgetting that the key point of the game was not to watch stellar politics that you could only minimally manipulate.
That is pretty much the case in Norway, too. You don’t even need to say yes. Silence is taken as assent. But if you do need to go beyond that, it is just like GP wrote.
Yeah, physical paper, to my endless annoyance, still wins in some cases. I suspect it's because not being on the screen isolates it against context switches.
Seeing someone's past posts lets us make an informed opinion about the poster's expertise and allows us to find other interesting sites they wanted to share.

If you don't want people to be biased by your previous posts you need to think about what you're posting here (and elsewhere), and how it reflects upon you.
The supply chain compromise does not appear to be sophisticated. The "post installation of compromised software" activity seems to be somewhat sophisticated.

As someone from the Gulf South who lived in the PNW for most of a decade:

There is a not insignificant chance your Southern wife will be incredibly miserable in the PNW. It is gorgeous and green but it is also grey, and if your wife has not lived in similar conditions before, it is very possible that the lack of Actual Sun will start giving her heavy seasonal depression.

A huge sun lamp will help. So will regular megadoses of vitamin D. But she may be like me and find that even with that, the urge to kill herself gets louder and louder every winter.

I moved back to my very culturally weird Southern birthplace a couple of years ago and that urge completely vanished.
What an awful article. Multiple paragraphs before it even starts to talk about the court's decision in anything but completely useless broad strokes.

I consider my own interest to be a healthy curiosity about a person who had such an impact on my life. It's enough for me to read this article, but I don't think I'll ever read either full-blown biography.

>I wonder how Ayn Rand would've been informed by the wealth of knowledge we've gained in the study of the brain and cognition and by computer science? Objectivism would have been quite different.

Now that would make a quite interesting blog/thesis/book. If you or anyone else ever gets motivated to write such a thing, I'd certainly be motivated to read it. :)

Only 1 in 8 for AppSumo yielded positive results which, of course, means nothing for Hyundai. The result that Hyundai achieved by adding clear calls to action on a page which had none is not very surprising to me at all. You don't need multivariate tests to discover that.

What I find great about doing multivariate tests is the results which are surprising due to factors which are not intuitive... the kinds of insights that an experienced marketer would never have thought to suggest. In Hyundai's case, it seemed more of a Marketing 101 lesson than a triumph of A/B testing.
I read some books of them and did not like them. I am not so much into reading great books as I am into reading books I like. Wasting many hours of my precious time reading books I do not enjoy only to feel smug does not sound like a particularly good idea for me.
What about of world-wide energy grid, so that the side of the earth with sunshine routes their left-over energy to the side without sun?

I realize this is currently a fantasy but would it ever be feasible or are there technical limitations preventing this from ever occurring?

Not when it's being pitched by gp as an alternative to rewriting such that the rewrite is the primary code. This particular scenario is one where an opaque blob is not at all the goal, and thus c2rust is not a valid strategy

Why do you consider OpenVPN risky?
I'm not sure if I think personalization would fix it. When I was on Facebook, I received one or two MLM offers. If Reddit is to be believed, this is actually a prevalent practice.

You'd go from anonymous reviews to seeing which of your "friends" are more interested in a shitty side hustle (e.g. there would still be.the kind of gaming noted in the article)

I'm not seeing any information on people are supposed to physically move into their house or how deliveries will be managed. Cities have had roads long before cars were a thing, and they were never that pedestrian friendly.
The response to this is unfortunate. Consider the run-on effects it will have on other companies that the primary response to YC pulling out of China is negativity. Requiring companies to stake everything on an action like this only serves to discourage any of them from acting.

YC did the right thing here, the comments should reflect that.
I don't think people are defending Amazon's side. Instead they are (somewhat reluctantly) admiting that what Amazon did is legal, which is not the same.

A friend of mine never went to a hospital. It's been four months, and he still can't smell anything. He's 25.

People who haven't been hospitalized aren't likely to end up in these statistics, regardless of whether they have long-term problems or not. It's harder to study them.
Note that they're not using the "Fox" or "21st century" names any more. The various pieces are using versions of the original historical name "Twentieth Century Pictures", before they took over Fox Films and merged their name in.
No, your motherfucking website is not improved by jamming your pet design theories into it. This is why all these spinoffs are terrible, with the possible exception of https://bestmotherfucking.website/ which removed things from a different spinoff.

The low contrast meme in web design is especially harmful.
"why wouldn't they just have scales at the gates or somewhere alone the taxi route that weighs the entire loaded plane."

Have you never flown on a passenger flight, or are you somehow unable to imagine how catastrophically inefficient it would be to have a flight delayed/canceled when an airplane has been boarded and is taxiing down the runway?

And if fat-shaming is a concern, how do you think forcing passengers to line up and have their weight recorded? Having an accurate-enough algorithm for estimating weight is obviously a desirable and achievable solution to satisfy safety and engineering requirements.
Why would you censor the word motherfucking?
It makes total sense. You shouldn't be taxed if you don't use a service.

> some people are philosophically opposed to easy taxes

I listened to a couple of episodes of Planet Money a while back that others might find relevant. They address how some state / local governments raise money in regions where opposition to taxes is high.

The Liberty City (https://www.npr.org/2019/10/18/771371881/episode-945-the-lib...)

Fine and Punishment (https://www.npr.org/2021/02/12/967260423/planet-money-fine-a...)

Essentially, the subjects of each episode use the justice system to raise funds from speeding tickets, court / prison fees, etc.

Planes don't fly by flapping their wings either. It's totally possible we will construct a super capable artificial system that only vaguely resembles the human brain.

Personally I think if we managed to create a 10 times more sophisticated GPT-3 (instead of 2048 tokens it looked back 10k+ tokens) we might get pretty close to a novel writing AI.
Like you said, the vast majority of Y Combinator clones do seem to offer office space to their companies.
IMHO, too many programs do this for it to be a coincidence.

The best reason I can think of for this phenomenon is that for a program that has yet to establish its sense of community, the physical space acts as a rallying point, and helps project its "presence" amongst entrepreneurs, investors, what have you.

Whether or not it's the best move for a struggling company to get shared office space is a different discussion entirely - but it may well be the best move for a "struggling incubator" (so to speak) to have a vibrant, bubbling shared space to show off to would-be investors, the press, etc.

Or, of course, it may be that lots of incubator program heads simply disagree with Y Combinator. But I have trouble believing the Y Combinator view is that extreme that so few incubators would at least try it their way. The logic behind it is reasonable enough, and the results speak for themselves.

I don't feel like you're adding a lot to the discussion by stereotyping and calling out "business guys". As a comparitively non-technical person to the average hacker news user, I would expect Amazon to quickly and clearly communicate to me why they are unable to provide the contracted service, what they are doing to remedy the issue, when it will be returned, and what we can do to avoid a similar outage in the future. From there, I can determine my risk aversion and the oppurtunity cost of choosing such a solution.

From what I gather, this is not how it was handled (I may be wrong), and for that I could not put my trust in them.
This isn't 'pun' news.
