Chat should go on the bottom. Why? People (at least people reading English) read top-to-bottom, and chat messages very rarely make sense out of context: when someone is reading a chat message, they're almost certainly reading a conversation, not a single chat message.

The other examples you mentioned, like Facebook/Twitter posts, are different because they're usually standalone and don't have to be read together with other posts. (You'll notice that new comments on Facebook posts appear at the bottom, because those are meant to be read together and in order.) The one example you mentioned that doesn't really fit here is email threads, which are displayed with new messages at the bottom in interfaces like Gmail.
I gave up on contacts - didn't like the idea of jabbing my fingers in my eyes every day for the rest of my life. I wear glasses all day every day, no problem. Thinking about getting them lasered.
Yeah, GIS skills are useful in many different fields. I work for a lines company, and they use GIS extensively to manage their electrical distribution network.
It's not just what users are used to, it's what users are used to for that context. So if it's publish/consume content (even if some is user-generated), then newest should go on top because users are used to that. If it's synchronous two-way communication, then newest should go on the bottom, because users are used to that.
Are you posting updates or discrete entities? Then new on top.

Are you having a conversation? Then new on bottom.

On a recent blog-like system I did, new entries went on top, but new comments (on the entries) went on bottom. Email works the same way - new threads will sort on top, but within a thread new messages are on the bottom.
This is nothing more strawman justification meant to distract us from the real issue. Android has nothing to do with network neutrality. The software on our handsets has no effect on how the ISPs manipulate the Internet.

That’s definitely a place I would visit, although I’d probably be more lurking than talking, at least at first.

It might sound simplistic, but if I were starting a community like that, I’d start with a WordPress blog or forum; maybe BBpress. I think a clean posting/interacting experience, free from the crap/shadiness of social media, is pretty important given the nature of what would be discussed. Blogs have a more personal, small-community feel that I see less and less of these days (and subscribing via RSS would be nice too).

Personally, I don’t know how much I have to discuss right now, since my own issues—primarily long-term burnout, disillusionment with my industry—are probably not addressable via anything short of a job/career shift, but I’d definitely be interested in seeing your ideas, and what’s discussed.

Ditto. When a coworker asks me about implementation details of some code a wrote just a few weeks ago, my first answer is always "I haven't a fucking clue". Then I scan the code in question and it all comes rushing back.
I've spent the last few months porting the guts of a 100 KLOC PHP command-line utility I wrote to Rust. Thanks to the wonderful Rust documentation it's been a mostly painless endeavour.

What I've gained as a result:

- execution speed (about 3x faster, single-threaded)

- better-documented data structures

Things I've lost:

- ease of iteration

- concise, readable code

- really smart type inference

- a bunch of time thinking about the borrow checker

Quick iteration and concise readable code are much more important in web-land than in system programming land, and those are key reasons why I don't think many will be abandoning interpreted langauges for Rust.

I sometimes wonder whether people adopt Rust/Haskell/ReasonML for front-end work because they want it to feel like more of an effort than it otherwise would.
You don't. As others noted, you can save a core image. Cross compiling, tree shaking, and other such things don't exist in the sbcl world and (from what I've read in the past) the people developing it have little or no interest in those features.

If you need those sorts of features paired with common lisp you could give embeddable common lisp a try. Otherwise if any lisp language will work for you then chicken scheme and gambit scheme both compile to c.

I seem to recall a number of "$X is bad for you because it shrinks the brain" articles. Wonder how many will be reviewed and find that $X is still bad for you despite whatever effect they alleged being even less likely to be meaningful.

that's the bitch about "bespoke science," you can report that "the Science says" whatever you like (if you can afford it) but then it requires maintenance to make sure it keeps saying that.

I keep thinking about the old poster in Fox Mulder’s office from the show “The X-Files”, the one that said “I Want To Believe”. I suspect that the reason it featured so prominently in that film set is because showrunner Chris Carter was making a statement about the mentality of conspiracy theorists.

The phrasing of that poster is very specific. These people aren’t objectively and dispassionately weighing the evidence both in favor of and against a certain theory. No, that theory is their pet theory, and whether consciously or subconsciously, their thumb is on the scale in favor of proving it true. The reason being that an implication of most conspiracy theories is that there is a conspiracy of powerful people to keep the truth from being revealed.

I’ve come to believe THAT is the important component of any conspiracy. The specific “truth” which is being hidden, whether it’s aliens or lizard people or pedophiles running a pizza shop, is almost a McGuffin. The reason people believe conspiracy theories, and backwards-rationalize their perceived truthfulness, is that it helps them believe in some all-powerful, malevolent cabal whose agenda includes keeping down the “little guy”. It’s a way for them to justify the failures in their lives without having to take responsibility for those failures. It’s the oldest story in the book.

It doesn’t help that there are real-world examples of conspiracies that have been proven true, but I suspect it wouldn’t be a deal-breaker for these people even if that weren’t the case.
If Monsanto caused it with such certainty for you, given the widespread use of Roundup, you'd expect vastly more cases.

So which languages do you know, and what are your experiences?
I've interpreted Kahn's main objections to be that the dome shape is difficult to efficiently partition for human living. Any conventional appliances placed against walls would leave large gaps. You could put some plumbing and electrical back there, but it would still be inefficient use of space.
That, and the fact that conventional house designs are effective with natural and found materials, and you have geodesics beat. That said, I'm constantly looking at this problem because I feel that there must be some important concepts that could be derived from geodesics without the dome aspect.
Now that I have listened to the whole video I still think the article is a great tl;dr;

In principle, I agree with most commentators on HN that if there were actually a shortage we'd expect to see salaries rising.

Yet, in practice, it does seem that there's simply an absolute shortage of experienced developers. I've been hiring developers at my job for most of the past year, yet we have never had an offer turned down. Rather, we see only a trickle of applicants, very few of whom are event remotely qualified. If we actually saw a great developer, I'm sure we could put together a fantastic compensation package (despite being an early-stage startup, we pay above market for NYC). Yet all we see are mediocre developers, and few of those. It's hard not to call this a labor shortage when my colleagues hiring for other positions (marketing, writing, etc.) see 100x the number of applicants with 1/10 as much outreach/advertising.

Given that it's impossible to produce more senior developers in a 1-2 year timeframe, what alternatives do people suggest to immigration?

People saw rapid progress in techniques applicable to fairly specific problem domains (e.g. vision) and assumed that this would just carryover to the broader problem of self-driving.

My personal guess is that we can probably get to hands-off self-driving on limited access highways, possibly under a subset of conditions, sooner-ish rather than later. Which would actually be a huge win for those who do long highway drives or daily commutes on highways. But it's sort of a bucket of cold water over the head for those urbanites who bought the promise of never having to learn to drive, buy a car, etc.

I'm somewhat confident that there are still enough wins around ML that the whole thing won't peter out. But it may end up being less of a generalized revolution than some thought (or at least claimed they thought).
FTA:

The districts, which may never be made whole for state funding they lost when ECOT inflated attendance, are alleging that Facebook knew the online charter school was financially failing when it sold ads to help ECOT boost enrollment. That, under Ohio law calls, would be an illegal and “fraudulent transfer.”
Interesting, I see your point. On a related note:

It leads to block cipher standards, AES standards, and so on.

I think it's not unreasonable to say that if it should ever appear as a recommended cipher by NIST, then it can be considered to be broadly accepted.
No mention of the actual chemicals being used. Seems they would at least include the MSDS sheets for the process for a well researched article.

> The more of these things you do, you become orders of magnitude more impactful than a pure coder.

Your job satisfaction/pay are also a function of how unique your skillset is.

With this in mind, increasing your impact (through soft skills) is just one of two ways to increase pay - the other way is to do something that not many others can do. For many people, doing something unique is far more satisfying than dealing with people problems.
So it's not the internet but social networks.
Why isn't NYT perma-banned on HN? This is much much worse than ZeroHedge.

There is a shaggy dog story in which the setup is that a child asks a cowboy why he wears various items, and he patiently explains the hat is for the sun, the bandanna for the dust, etc. etc., and the punchline is along the lines of "but mister, why are you wearing gym shoes?" "I wouldn't want to be mistaken for a trucker, now would I?"

(I've visited a long-haul trucker convention near Interlaken once or twice. With eyes open, it looks like [a european's idea of] the US due everyone dressing in "country". With eyes closed, one hears schlager and smells currywurst, and the true location becomes obvious.)
Interesting, so validation of the parity bits occurs in the CPU? Presumably when data is read off the bus.
“Ballot stuffing” would require a lot more than sneaking in a suitcase of ballots which, to be clear, video surveillance shows is NOT what happened here. The number of ballots needs to match the number of votes cast according to the voter rolls. Is your theory that someone requested 18,000 ballots to registered voters at 18,000 different addresses and then returned them with matching signatures and also somehow ensured that none of them tried to vote themselves, which would have been immediately flagged?

In all seriousness I think you should volunteer to be an observer for the next election and you will see how crazy this sounds.
Or 6 months to reclassify a bunch of data. /s
Even if you throw out or flip Georgia, the math still doesn't work out for electoral votes.

So now you have to move the goalposts to saying that there was massive voter fraud in every battleground state.

Let's be clear, every state certified their votes. This includes states with republican leadership. And every court case brought against the election results has failed.

Even if you accept the idea that in many ways it is difficult or impossible to audit the results (I don't agree), the only evidence that has been presented against the result are absurd conspiracy theories and patent falsehoods as well as testimony from people with an axe to grind.

In other cases we have seen (Gore) there was an actually agreed upon issue. Hanging chads on the ballots were real and verifiable. This is not the case today.

Also let us be clear that this has not happened before. It is not before the current administration that "massive voter fraud" has entered the conversation. It was presented in 2016 despite Trumps win (amusing). It is presented now for no other reason than to distract, raise money, and serve the fragile ego of the President.

> For many kids, the quality of education they receive is a function of the quality of the school and the quality of the teacher.

I would agree if you strengthened this to "for almost all kids..."

Effective primary education is greatly dependent on the bond between the students and the teachers (IMO). Yes, you can learn your times tables from an online lecture and online drill program, but you can't replace elementary school with it. Secondary education likely has less of this property, but still way, way above zero.

There is no singular "best" teacher of a subject. There might be one who is best for many learners, but I believe a large element of education is finding exactly the student's "frontier" and repeatedly crossing it, slowly expanding that frontier while spending enough time inside for reinforcement, confidence-building, and repeated checking that you're right about the frontier.

It's heavily labor intensive and personalized, which is why it's local and why it's school and teacher dependent.
It depends entirely on how you define poverty- typically these claims are based on a figure of $1.90 per day as the threshold for "extreme poverty", and you can use the World Bank's calculator to verify that they are true here: http://iresearch.worldbank.org/PovcalNet/povOnDemand.aspx

But it doesn't tell the whole story. Could you survive on $2 per day? The implication of this claim is that you are not in "extreme poverty" at that threshold, but I'm not sure many people would agree.

The next natural step is to ask where the line really should be drawn? For many reasonable numbers, we can see that number has been rising in the past few decades. You can set your own inputs on the linked calculator based on where you believe the poverty line should be drawn and decide for yourself.

GOP actions have not been in line with conservative ideology for some time now. A conservative concept is, "An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure." but as you pointed out, even something as basic as that has zero support in the current American political climate on the right.

I want to support ideas that deal with issues at their source, in targeted and specific ways that have exponential payoffs later, but I'm forced to support sweeping "just give them houses and they're not homeless" solutions because at least those folks are trying to help, and anything is better than nothing.

When working this way, do you get to keep more or less of the money as compared with a "normal" position?

Well done anyway ;-) As a lead dev myself I totally agree that people strong with multi-threading and networking are rare.

That's untrue. In France high responsibility positions have a different status (called "cadre") and there is no such thing as RTT for them (although in very large companies they might happen to actually take them into account): there is practically no weekly limit and it's usually anywhere between 40 to 50 hours a week (known as the "you leave when your work is done"). Holidays are at least (and usually) 5 weeks.
Inherent in the concept of "privilege" is that it is invisible to the person who is privileged. Social privilege is an elevated norm, but since it's a norm, it's extremely difficult for the privileged person to see it as anything other than normal.

By analogy: A person who has grown up in Denver is 5,000 feet higher in elevation than a person who grew up in New York. But to each person, their subjective experience is of a relatively flat city with tall buildings; their subjective experience is each that their city is normal. There's nothing remarkable about things we experience every day of our life.

It's only when they travel to each other's cities that they can tell a difference: the Denverite breathes easily in both places; but the New Yorker might get short of breath in Denver.

Unfortunately, it's impossible to travel into each others' lives the way that we can travel into each others' cities. So the only way we can learn about the different norms of each life is to listen to other people talk.
>> People just seem to prefer state controlled media or narratives that fit in with their biases

Except when they don't. For example, it is not unreasonable to say that Putin lost the presidential elections in many regions (recall news stories where they showed 150% of the vote). Most importantly this 'perceived' popularity leads to people not turning out to vote, making it a self fulfilling prophecy. Indeed, the basis for Putin's universal popularity is 'precieved' popularity.

Many Chinese support their cultural superiority BUT many will quickly point out problems with their government and the need for reform.

The population that genuinely supports autocratic systems in Russia and China are in the minority, the rest are dis-disorganized, demoralized and confused but they are also in the majority. That why China runs their firewall.

The internet has a cultural program of uniting humanity which fosters understanding leading to practical things like trade and a less tit-for-tat aggression.
It is called advertising, making propaganda, lobbying. It works for a wide range of topics along any axes of the moral compass. For why it works, you probably hinted it in your post, but I don't see why it shouldn't be used for a good cause.
