Here's the Google Translate to save others the trip:

Finding myself with my two clients to the summit of Mont Blanc on September 13, I can only share with you our dismay at the sound of debauchery and ridiculous agitation that was polluting the place that day. Is it seem colder than piss do not share your enthusiasm for this achievement that contributes to belittle a major summit to the rank of outlet for our neuroses and theater of our most vain delusions? As he suffered, the poor Mont Blanc, absurd ideas: the attempt to drive down, the stove in paella, another mountain bike and so on. Victim of egos surdimmensionnés, headlights summits every day misguided by people giving mountaineering aberrant image (CF attempt to climb Everest in shorts ...! You will soon do we see bathing Mailot?). Promotion which we would move us well on time or our efforts tend to make their true status in these mountains. My clients had they not entitled to enjoy after a strain that you experienced, a consistent top or near their ideal? It seems to me that this way of taking a place in defiance of nuisances caused against others who frequent it, it no other purpose than to provide a delirium of schoolboys del'incivilité is at the limit. Greetings. Denis CRABIERES, mountain guide, secretary of the National Union of Mountain Guides
Seeing as the Wired article posted today was from 2010 while the original two Nautilus pieces are from this month I'd imagine it was submitted as a response.
That's nothing, wait till they get hold of an ADR scanner, it can chemically identify everything it scans and can do it through miles of rock. In interview, Colin Stove is quoted as referring to it jokingly as a "quadcorder", on the basis that it is much better than a tricorder - http://adrokgroup.com/technology/how-it-works
Sounds like the list that has been circulating for months. Dinnerbone (developer) commented on it on Twitter, I think.
MB is not highest mountain in Europe, but in EU.
1. People that have an application and want to insta-create a REST API for it

2. A backend-as-a-service for people that don't want to do any backend coding (mobile apps, web sites)
Really? I've had the opposite experience. Maybe it's just the type of communities I hang around, but Ruby seems to have a lot of mindshare right now.
I find digitalocean pretty cheap.
"I have a moderate experience with Lisp, very little experience with Haskell and these days mostly program in Java, Julia and Python"

I despise that people give their 2 cents for something they haven't experienced much.
Wow, that's not much code. I'm going to have to study this.
Where does it say that this is testing the security of a setup?
Well ZenMate is a VERY well funded startup offering a freemium service.

While their desktop proxy service is free, they also offer a premium account for their VPN services for mobile.

Yes, he got shit done - this is huge, and trumps most other arguments you might make. Still I wonder about an alternate reality where the OSS movement had a leader that was less of a nut-job.
Outdoors are safer than indoors.
I agree that it is definitely something they should bring up as early in the interview process as possible. If a company strongly identifies with neoracism[1], I'd like to avoid wasting my time interviewing with them. And I'm a POC!

My partner works with DFO and it’s pretty complicated. Everyone cares, it’s just a political nightmare.

Not many people with careers at DFO don’t care about the ocean or its inhabitants. It’s just so hard to enact change.

Real knowledge of what’s going on and what effective solutions would be is surprisingly lacking too. We know industry doesn’t help, such as fishing, shipping, and transport, but these are virtually impossible to change positively in the short term.
If you train with a batch size of 1, is there anything wrong with batch norm? I think batch norm of 1 is better termed instance normalization...
ain't it always!
Yes. Do you know that indigenous Europeans are a tiny global minority (approx 8%) and that their ancestral homeland is the target of a massive, concentrated effort to flood with foreigners via mass immigration, laws prohibiting the defence or even criticism of this replacement, media efforts to normalise interraciality and minimise visibility of indigenous Europeans, etc? Do you know that this is also occurring in North America and Oceania? Do you know that indigenous Europeans will be minorities in many of their own countries by the end of the century?

It's not okay just because they're White.
sounds interesting, when this is getting live? would like to add your product to our site.
One time, I almost bought a very cool robotic prototyping platform, but the documentation was only in German. In retrospect, my hesitance was a little short sighted as well...I mean, I could have just learned German, right?

Usability matters, even if it is something as simple as font choices and colors. If you make it hard(er) to use a product, you've created a barrier to entry.
The body has a desired weight built into it.

If you go over that weight it starts burning extra calories via thermogenesis, not absorbing as much, and making you not hungry.

If you go under it reduces thermogenesis, digests more efficiently and makes you hungry.

To try to change your weight you have to fight a VERY powerful feedback loop in the body.
I know how easy it is for things to seem this way. And I'm happy to admit being wrong on mistaken moderation. But I don't think any of this comes close. L'affaire Damore is what the HN guidelines call a "classic flamewar topic". The effect of dropping one of these into unrelated or marginally-related threads is well understood: it turns them into the same ball of fire that it did the last N times it came up. That's why pg added that guideline 10+ years ago.

When someone does that, we have two options: moderate it, or let it burn. Who wants the latter? Only those who are eager to vent indignation and/or smite enemies, and though they tend to post a lot, those are not the users HN is for. HN is for curious readers, and curious readers find repetition boring. They thrive on diffs. In this case the diff was a new survey of male managers.

This is bog-standard HN moderation. You can't derive my "views on gender relations" from that. No matter how convincing the derivation feels, it's an illusion that springs up when moderation calls go the wrong way, relative to one's own views. It always feels like that. Were you on the opposite side, you'd have the opposite image. Indeed some people indeed do. This shows up when you say "James Damore's very name is something you hate". How could you know that? You can't. (FWIW, I don't hate either James Damore or his name.)

As for "rigorously separating personal opinions from moderation decisions", I'm far from perfect at that but can at least claim to have had a lot of practice. I'd be happy to receive further instruction from anyone more skilled at it than I am. There's a bit of a burden of proof there, though. People tend to invoke such phrases less out of passion for impartiality and more because the refs made a call against their side. It always feels like the mods are against you in that case.

p.s. The Wojcicki thing strikes me as stretching thin indeed. That entire business was a large institutional and media fooforah, not the merely personal sort of conflict that was alluded to upthread ("if you inadvertently offend a women and they complain"). Leaping to Damore was a classic flamewar tangent, precisely what leads to angry tape loops and nothing else.
There is no such thing as a "free". And even though people aren't paying cash for these things, they're still having to earn money (listia credits) one-level removed from cash.

Having said that, these marketplaces make sense. It'd also be great if they offer even more interesting data to understand just how far consumers' irrationality goes. Understanding that alone makes this a valuable business in my mind.
Huh, that's interesting, can you elaborate?

What are the minimum size requirements? Are they multidimensional?
You don't need to get all philosophical about it, it's simple: Racist speech is A Bad Thing* because people actually do make that absurd, dumb and wrong presumption, and racist speech reinforces those racist attitudes.

(* let's forget the word "offensive" because this is not the same territory as yo' momma jokes and curse words - racism affects the real world)
Wow, $99 sure seems worth it. Is that price no longer in effect? From what I've read, the cheapest one could get a membership now is $200 with a referral.
The logic is simple:

Money buys political influence. Income inequality thus leads to political inequality. The government is corrupted to serve the interests of the superrich.

Sounds like systemic damage to me.
> Edward Tufte gives artist's tours of his exhibit at ET Modern every Saturday, throughout the day from 10.00am to 6.00pm. If you would like a tour, just ask at the reception desk.

He seems to be very approachable, based on that.
Maybe offensive but this is perhaps the 12th or 13th article related to income-inequality or Bush tax cuts that I've seen on HN in the past month or two. Frankly, these articles are getting old and I'm seeing almost no new perspectives. Most are written in a kind of, "this is unfair, let's do something about it," tone and the authors rarely have any real basis for understanding how wealth is created (or how the super wealthy sustained their wealth or created such massive new wealth over the past 4 decades). It just sort of gets old to read the same thing and then ultimately, read many of the same righteous comments on here.

Any chance someone is open to some new politics topics instead of this and healthcare?

How about abortion? Immigration maybe? Military spending? Education costs? Unemployment and underemployment?
Let's get real for a moment here. Most of the taxes collected from you, me, Larry and Sergey go to wars and to social programs that are not actuarially sound (and thus are likely to disappoint those depending on them).

If it were just about sewers, roads, education, etc., then the top tax rate could be 10% and the middle class could pay no taxes at all.

The class warfare argument is a substitute (relied upon by politicians) for the real issue which is the imprudence and utter lack of responsibility of those allocating the money collected via taxes.

Note that Obama, for all his class warfare schtick on the campaign trail, has spent billions more on the wars he promised to end. His promise to fix social security by turning it into a welfare program (so at least we know what we're not getting) has also vanished.
I just sent him an email with this post, hopefully he'll have ten minutes to add some wisdom to the conversation.
If everyone is competing for the top 1%, you're never going to solve the problem.

And of the people with the skills you want, why should they work at your crappy company instead of starting their own?

Try this on for size: "Here, I'll give you a salary and maybe a tiny fraction of equity to come work at my company. But you're over 30 so you'll need to be re-educated."

Why aren't you jumping at the chance!? Oh, maybe other people feel like you do. Imagine that.

If you want to hire talent, you need to pay for it. If you can't pay, then it's no surprise. (Would you work for me for what you're offering to me to work for you?) If you won't pay, then you're not "desperate for talent", you just have a preference for cheap labor.

You're not entitled to a cheap labor pool just so you can live out your personal aspirations to be a CEO. And I like how you expect other people to pay for all that education and training they'll need.
I check the threads link periodically (for example, right now) but I find most other participants in the conversation do not and almost 90% of the time the conversation is dead by the end of the day.
Got-em! Very clever! Never mind trying to understand each others point of view without being hostile about it. It's better to stick to your preconceived opinions and defend them with witty slogans.

In all seriousness, there are various replies to this line of argument. I'm not gonna post them because if you have a genuine interest in learning more instead of just "arguing with a Bitcoin-fanatic" you can easily find them on the internet.
Of course, but neither inflation nor deflation occur in a vacuum. Barring a major increase in productivity, a single commodity doesn’t fall 95% in price without wages falling at the same time.
I read somewhere that the freedom is supposed to come with responsibility, without the responsibility there isn't really a point to the freedom.
To rephrase the other (dead) "in mice" response with civility: ".. in mice" meme is more about studies where you have to read past the headline to know the study was on mice. In this case, "Mouse studies" opens the headline

VR has been "the next great thing" for at least 20 years but still isn't popular with the mainstream because of the vision and dizziness problems it creates for a lot of people, and also because the UI's have been generally terrible. I think these problems would be exacerbated by having an audience of children. It's possible that the VR stuff would get in the way of learning (at this stage in its development and acceptance) rather than contribute to it, IMHO.

DisneyQuest, Google Daydream, and Oculus have all been failures -- and DisneyQuest had Disney content and branding and was aimed squarely at kids. Also, you don't see much VR content on Steam and it's a non-starter on Xbox. These don't bode well for wide adoption of any VR product with kids.
Just to be clear, I don't think every author using this image for their sample code is to blame. I'm specifically looking for someone using the public Wikimedia CDN for speed tests [1] and I think that someone is probably the sample code author.

What you attribute to abstinence, may very well not be abstinence. The traditionally conservative regions you tell me have different values besides abstinence as well.

For example, in Africa and Asia it is much more common that children live with their parents and grandparents for example. This is included in their definition of "single-parent household":

> In this report, single-parent households have a sole adult living with at least one biological, step or foster child under age 18.

Also, it would not explain the difference between Europe and the US. In Europe there are few places where abstinence-only is the norm. While in the US this is much more common. And yet the US has a higher rate of children living in a single-parent household.
Hey Matt! Long time!

I'm sure a lot of people would be interested in those numbers. I always assumed a tiny percentage of the WP userbase would employ that particular feature since it's kinda geeky... but definitely would like to know because it does have may implications for other webapp owners.

PS: Congrats on the 3.0 release :) Will be upgrading a couple of sites tomorrow.
As someone who dropped out after 2nd Class (probably would've kept on to 1st but we moved), I'm with the kid. It took me forever to make 2nd Class because I had other commitments on Saturdays. But I had a bunch of friends in the troop.

G.K. Chesterton somewhere wrote that "Everything worth doing is worth doing badly." I'm with dkarl on this one.
As soon as you say some usage is incorrect or "goes to far," you're claiming there's a line in the sand somewhere. Who is going to draw that line? There would have to be some governing body. Personally I'd rather argue that random speakers tend to be wrong, then try to lobby a language-government to change a language if there was something I disagreed with.

On top of that, the fact of the matter is that we use different "languages" in different domains. When writing something for a public or semi-public audience, I do think there should be a formal specification for English so that you can KNOW deterministically if your composition is correct. For verbal conversation it's unreasonable to expect people to conform to a formal grammar. For instant messaging it's apparently unreasonable (or at least hopeless) to expect any resemblance to "formal" English.
Do you have any references for youtube doing this? Youtube is the example I always mention when it comes to long waiting times after an upload : ).
Is the same InnoDB data available via MySQL itself still using standard SQL syntax, or is utilizing InnoDB in this manner locking it out from that?

Having a dual angle of accessing the data could be very beneficial when it comes to reporting etc, while maintaining a high throughput access for the actual production code.
"You don't want a million dollars, you just want to be happy and if you're resourceful you can do that without it. Unless you do want a million dollars in which case you're too stupid to get it or to rearrange your life to be happy without it. Sucks to be you I guess. Did I tell you about all that time I spent freelance travelling yet?"
This happens after every round for the past four years I've been paying attention to Y Combinator. I don't applaud you for taking the jump, as moving and doing all this stuff is more normal than abnormal to me. In the wake of youth, you're going to enjoy everything you're doing.

Will it increase your likelihood of success? No. There has yet ever been a startup that has developed after a rejection from YC. Will moving to SF help you? No. There's a lot more action in the east coast for tech then there are out here. In fact, I would say you're going to have a much harder time trying to figure yourself, your startup, and navigate the social culture and scene. Your budget is also naively out of whack.

But you're going to enjoy your adventure, good or bad. I applaud that, I applaud that simple affirmations.

Good luck, let's grab lunch when you're out here.
I just use Google Chrome and synchronize bookmarks, is all.
I saw the comments didn't realize it was automated.

I think it would be more useful if integrated with HN at the submission phase. Seeing something is a dupe of something else after its already on the frontpage seems too late.
Are there any photo services offering an import from Flickr? I imagine it would be good business to offer one, playing to the fear of a complete Yahoo implosion. Although I admit it's highly unlikely Flickr will go the way of Delicious

I like. You see pg's popular essays all the time and get a little tired of them. Beating the averages, yeah whatever... hackers and painters, uh huh. But the less popular ones are really good, I especially like "The Submarine".

(Maybe because it is my hobby to push back against dress codes. One time, I was visiting my company's Singapore office. "You can't wear tennis shoes here, it's against the dress code!" "Do you know who I am?" "Nope." "Can you fire me?" "Nope." "Then what are you going to do about it?" :)

This has mentioned many times over the years, but looking at the slide, I see they were maintaining both del.icio.us and Yahoo! Bookmarks to the end.

The outcome is not entirely surprising.
I use Opera which allows synchronizing bookmarks between computers.
They've already had hybrid shunters built since 2004 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Railpower_GG20B and you can see some more that were scheduled to be in use in 2007 and 2009 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrid_locomotive
No, I'm a (former) mathematical physicist. My main source for that particular paragraph is a math bio textbook I used in grad school (standard yellow book), combined with attendance at a huge number of math bio seminars [1].

However, if you want a source for the general statement that a lot of systems biology works out to ODEs, I'll point you to some general models which form the basis for most work in mathematical neuroscience:

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

[1] If you are in quantitative grad school, I highly recommend you to do the same even if you are studying something completely different (e.g., quantum physics or abstract algebra). The math and biology are usually simple and explained very well, and you wind up learning a lot about both.
> Anyway, this paper shows that a cell population can have a bimodal phenotypic distribution without cooperativity,
> simply by having single proteins that respond in non-linear fashion to their environment. That's...a new statistical law?

What I mean by a "new law" is the formula that describes the conditions for bimodality [of the output distribution resulting from a gamma-distributed input passing a nonlinear filter in the form 1/(1+x)^n or 1/(1+x^n)] in terms of the intersection of two curves (those curves have a well-defined experimental meaning). Maybe, as one of the internauts remarked, this should rather read "a new law based on statistical theory". The language used in the press release was simplified (perhaps over-simplified).
What if you occasionally like some of the more unusual things, off the top of my head "women with goats" I think we can agree you don't want even your most open minded best friend finding this. So you make a more obvious easier to find folder with more acceptable videos as a decoy.
Wouldn't you trust the rest of the team to cross-check that? I mean, if no ones sees that the fire escape is blocked, not only the lazy folks are your problem...

They're not exactly common in the Boston area, but they're here, and new ones are getting added (mainly in Cambridge, as far as I can tell). At least one even has separate traffic lights that turn green for bikes a few seconds early.

FWIW I tend to stick to the roads anyway, though, because the segregated bike lanes often have pedestrians and runners in them regardless, and the paths often get cracked from tree roots and whatnot. Most drivers don't seem to care if I'm not on the dedicated path, so long as I'm hauling and not riding crazy.
What stops elaborate or clever contraptions getting by and inciting chaos? The fact that 99.99% of people are not terrorists.

Airport security checkpoints cannot be considered a last stand against threats. It is one link in a chain including intelligence, passenger awareness, and aircraft design. The chain I describe is not security, but safety. "Screen for every potential danger" is not a viable goal for airport security. I prefer a statement like "decrease the likelihood of death (whoever's you care to measure) by 10x". While still vague, it gives some framework for comparing costs. To make up numbers, suppose for the same cost you could install backscatter machines and get a 10x reduction, or better radar infrastructure and get a 50x reduction. I know where I'd want my money.

One externality here is the perception of safety. In some sense, it doesn't matter how good or safe flying is if people act (and spend...) as if every other plane were being bombed from the skies. But, I question if security gropes will really increase consumer confidence.
