What is the official hackernews club on Clubhouse? I'd like to discuss things with a hackernews crowd in real time.
Whoa, the press release does not match the results. Scroll down to Tables 2a,2b on pp. 26-27 of the NBER paper.

These are their 1 year horizon alpha's and tstats against Fama French 3 factor:

alpha tstat
Long 6.5% 6.6
Shrt 5.0% 3.7

Those numbers are economically and statistically significant.
Same here. Finally I trash the crap Nexus and bought a second hand iPhone4 (2010). Works like a charm.
Feel free to shoot me an email if you want some advice on picking one based on your needs/interests. Also, if you need a more immediate or affordable option I can get you a discount on a Thinkful course.
It's not obvious by looking at the pagekite homepage what the product does. Lots of focus on the benefits, but as a developer, I'd rather just know what it does and how to use it

I would even suggest taking inspiration from the clearly annotated three-panel diagram on the showoff.io homepage - very clear and simple. I am guessing that pagekite might offer more functionality than this, but again, I am having trouble figuring that out.

Best of luck!
He mentions how functional programming is valuable, something that many graduates are lacking in. Does JavaScript count as a functional language?
Absolutely, HTML/CSS is a huge step in the right direction.

Producing a good "creative work" is a useful enough signal that it's not a practice likely to die out: http://sarkology.wordpress.com/2011/04/11/why-creative-domai...
It appears to be true, though I'd imagine they're getting very substantial discounts from Amazon. Otherwise it'd be far cheaper for them to self-host at their scale.
I'm imagining Splinter from ninja turtles.
Once you realize there's "artificial" in AI, it quickly dispel the interest.

Science cannot even agree on a practical definition of intelligence. Unless you let biologists, psychologists and neurologists work with computer scientists to advance the discussion, I don't think it's worth it to explore machine learning techniques to pursue intelligence.

Don't call it ML or AI, call it "improved statistical prediction". The buzz will quickly fade.
I miss the days when NASA's budget was a whole number percentage of GDP...
I do think that is worth noting, but it is (mostly) separate from the original point. It doesn't matter if the copyright is open if the content disappears.

At least in the U.S., I don't think it's that relevant to the use-cases I've seen. IANAL, but in the 4-factor fair use test a place like Internet Archive rehosting the content to me easily clears 3 of them if the original host goes away.
i improved it from my last submission but will incorporte thank you
If you set up elasticsearch on a cloud service like AWS, by default your firewall will prevent the outside world from interacting with it, and no authentication is really necessary. If you do use authentication, you probably wouldn't want username+password, you would probably want it to hook into your AWS role manager thing. So to me, username+password seems useful, but it isn't going to be one of the top two most common authentication schemes, so it seems reasonable that it should not be the default.

MongoDB also by default does not have username+password authentication turned on.

I think defaulting to username+password is a relic of the pre-cloud era, and nowadays is not optimal.
Any reason why there is a restriction disallowing non lawyers from owning law firms?
I saw a documentary on this but I would have sworn it was filmed in SE Asia but I could be wrong. There they were using a related tree also known as the Strangler Fig.

What floored me was a segment where a man was building a new bridge, and almost as a throwaway line the narrator stated that this bridge would be usable by the time his son was old enough to teach his son. That's patience.

But the alternative is dealing with serious flooding and erosion pressures, which these trees have already solved.
Hi Tommy - I'm a moderator here. I'm afraid that users are correctly flagging your recent posts because they're very much off topic for Hacker News. We definitely wish you well, but at the same time, this isn't the place to be pursuing these issues - it's not going to help you, and users are guaranteed to continue to flag the posts because the material isn't what HN is for. It would be a good idea to stop posting until you get to a place where you can participate on the site in the way it is meant to be used. Best wishes from all of us here.
"Star Trek and its ilk are approaching the dramatic stage from the opposite direction: the situation is irrelevant, it's background for a story which is all about the interpersonal relationships among the cast. You could strip out the 25th century tech in Star Trek and replace it with 18th century tech — make the Enterprise a man o'war (with a particularly eccentric crew) at large upon the seven seas during the age of sail — without changing the scripts significantly."

In all honesty, a lot of Trek is pretty bad for exactly the reason the OP states: it's all deus ex machina. And that's boring and lazy. ST:TOS wasn't terrific at this, but ST:TNG took it to new lows.

But the above quote is wrong. When Trek shines it does so by forcing the viewer to confront our pre-existing prejudices by placing them in different contexts. Let THis Be Your Last Battlefield is a good example of this; the second season of Picard is as well. There are people who claim to be Trek fans who are actively objecting to "being preached to" by Picard season 2. To which I say: you never understood Trek at all if you object to it being a bit preachy.

ST does this most effectively by placing current social debates into a context where the sides are unfamiliar, and in doing so lets us see them in a fresh light. Want to think about the Cold War? Let's talk about the Klingon Empire. Want to talk about the Israeli/Palestinian conflict, or colonialism in general? Let's talk about Cardassians and Bajorans.

Which is actually where Picard season 2 falls down: by placing the debates in 2024 America, they're arguably too close to home to pull the trick off. Picard season 2 is almost exactly what you would get if you placed the series in the 18th century instead of the 25th.
Now I know why older folks think of modern gadgets as complicated and difficult to use. The dramatic increase in functionality is accompanied by an equally dramatic increase in complication. Compare the learning curve for somebody using an ipod for the first time to the learning curve for using this for the first time.
I think the interesting part of this is how to prevent the sending of data whether by email/fax or however which is the result of a simple number transcription error or fat-fingering. My first thought is white-listing but it's going to be a PITA to set up and get every one to use.

Where does the fine on the council go? It should be used by an gov run department to alter the councils processes or equipment to prevent the error reoccurring the measures being applied across all gov depts carrying such sensitive info; I'm going to guess it won't be.
A kind of best-practice report on how to use Wave productively would be very interesting and motivating (at least for me).

We still use Wave for collaborative document editing at our startup, although we clearly need to migrate off ASAP. :-) Wave seems to work best as a small group collaboration tool. It's not so useful for communicating with strangers, or for real-time chatting (the key bindings and performance aren't well-suited to short, real-time messages).

Wave is a great replacement for short-lived wiki pages. You know all those wiki pages that you work on intensely for a while, and which then hang around cluttering up your wiki? Wave is infinitely nicer for that kind of emphemeral, searchable documentation. And you don't have to teach non-techies how to use MediaWiki, which is always a plus in my book.

Oh, and install a Wave notification plugin in your browser. I use "One Number" for Google Chrome, which supports Gmail, Wave, Google Voice and Google Reader.
I have multiple problems with this answer.

The first is practical: you are not qualified to run OpenID on your server. Really, you're not. I'm not and I have actually implemented both OpenID providers and Relying Parties for clients before, at the old day job. If you run OpenID, you are exposed to every threat your OpenID provider is currently vulnerable to in perpetuity, unless you make it your mission in life to stay up to date on OpenID security. The people who actually do that missed a timing attack which compromised the security of nearly every OpenID-using system on the Internet. You will not do better than they did.

The second reason this is bad advice is because OpenID has a feature which should make it unnecessary: delegation, which lets you nominate any OpenID provider on the Internet as "your" provider. You are theoretically able to change that after having done it, so if you want to move your identity from Google to Yahoo you can. Delegation is a misfeature. It makes the OpenID spec roughly ten times more difficult to understand than it already was. Very few people implement delegation correctly -- of particular notice, very few relying parties implement it correctly, which means that when you come back in a few years with the same OpenID but a different underlying provider they have no recollection of you at all. That is a pretty bad failure mode for a federated authentication system, and many relying parties coded by smart people walk straight into it.

Then we come to the real meat of the matter: for an authentication system to be useful, you have to be able to use it without being able to implement it. OpenID is a user experience nightmare for non-technical users. Just the experience of actually logging in is bad enough. It also teaches your users to fall for phishing attacks against their holiest of holy credential, because every sane person uses OpenID through their email provider and OpenID teaches you that you can go to any random site, the screen is going to flash, and then you should type in your email address and password. This is phishing heaven, and losing one's email account means you lose practically your entire online identity (banks accounts, domain names, Google AdWords accounts, etc etc) even before OpenID explicitly makes your email king of all credentials.
Why do you believe this would be better? The main issue I see in the other comments is old/lacking wireless drivers - and a netinstall obviously couldn't help there. For the other stuff, why not just install from CD and run update once?
Good for you, you've just been flagged. Karma doesn't work that way here, you'll need to add some interesting content with the correct focus in order to get attention - see FAQ at bottom of page.
Depends on how you look at it. The current shareholders of Facebook did not actually sell the stock. They just sold rights to the stock options. So if you net out their position, there's no short. If you do not net out their position, there's a long and an equal short for them, and another long in the new investment company.
What I mean to say is that this is really a beef between the holders and the host. The supposed violator (person who posted) is something of an innocent bystander. And by that, I mean hosts are usually as sympathetic as possible.
You mean something like http://www.collective2.com/ ?
One of the difference is that on c2 you can't see the internals of the algo (because it could also be not an algo but somebody deciding how to invest, actually the algo is not implemented on the site but outside, the site only receives buy/sell commands).

on Techzing podcast can find and interview to the founder (a bit old, 2011):

Vim does not support graphical user elements, and is built around the unfamiliar language Vimscript. Those drawbacks are pretty baked into Vim and would be hard to change (though someone is trying to: https://www.bountysource.com/fundraisers/539-neovim-first-it...). Many other editors don’t have these drawbacks, allowing them to support features such as these:

• a graphical file tree browser (with icons, not restricted to ASCII art like NERDTree)

• proportional-width fonts

• a zoomed-out-code mini-map scroll bar

• Plugins written in more mainstream, cleaner languages than Vimscript. Vim does have a plugin interface for some other languages such as Python, but some OSs’ provided Vim installations don’t support those languages, and it’s hard to get a version of Vim with support.
It depends on locality I suppose.

If your workload is spatially local, you're good on this machine and might also be good on a bunch of smaller boxes.

If spatially nonlocal but temporally local, your solution might work well.

If also temporally nonlocal, this machine might be your best bet; even if latency hurts bad, it might still be better than on any other hardware.
The catch here is that content providers don't want to give in to DMCA complaints. That's why chilling effects exists. Providers will often go a long way to be as permissive as possible and to cause as much pain for frivolous complaints as possible. Also give some credits to judges. They won't just give in because a company is rich and litigious, well at least not in most districts :)
There's a vast difference between "it would be an interesting experiment" and "we should do it" in the social sciences. That difference is called ethics.
For those interested in doing some algo testing I found this site quite interesting: http://systematicinvestor.wordpress.com/
Pretty sure everything has evolved infinitely.
>Meerkat is great too, but clearly has an uphill battle for the next few months after the initial hype.

I wonder about nuances of engagement on Periscope vs. Meerkat.

Periscope's saved video is touted as a feature, but I've noticed that because Meerkat does not give me this option, when I get a notification for a stream I want to watch, I hustle to engage because it's live and I don't want to miss it.

I have not used Periscope yet and will be checking it out, but I can absolutely envision a scenario where I get a Pscope notification and ignore it because there really is no urgency as it will be there later. And then those streams end up like just another article in my "read-it-later" apps. Saved and then forgotten because I've moved on, and the promise of what could be in that stream just isn't compelling enough to chase it down later. Saved video is what we already have everywhere all of the time.

My guess is that Meerkat's inability to save the stream could be the killer feature.
Why does the driver matter when choosing a cab? Lots of room for profiling etc. Another way to subtly discriminate e.g. avoid women drivers or anybody who likes ethnic music.

Choosing someone who you 'get along with' is a code phrase for excluding everybody different.
It's still a lot, though. Let's say you make 100k a year. State tax is 10k. If you weren't getting hit with the state tax, you would be paying $21,175 or 21.18% in federal tax (filing single). If you deduct the 10k from state tax to reduce your taxable federal income to 90k, you're still paying $18,375 in federal tax.

So let's compare total taxes: $28,375 with state tax vs. $21,175 without. So you're paying an extra $7,200, or 7.2% of total income. That's on top of the sky-high cost of living in CA compared to other locations.
So long as there is human involvement, we'll have ulterior motive, jealousy, agony, and the whole basket of what makes us imperfect, which no amount of computing power can prevent from taking charge of a situation where a machine is involved. I'm speaking on what has happened recently with the Germanwings flight. To speak on the matter that you've raised, I think it boils down to thorough testing.
Be cocky, but be humble too. People are more willing to help someone who admits where he is weak. Also help others when you can; they will return the favor.
Another thing (and some might accuse me of "doing it wrong" this way) is that lack of score showing changes my motivation for voting overall.

Some comments are so awesome, they deserve 50+ upvotes. Other comments are pretty good, and deserve maybe 8. I do not/did not personally try to upvote every single comment. I try to add upvotes to the comments that seem "best" in a particular thread discussion, and allocate votes in this way.

Perhaps my behavior is something that pg was attempting to fix with this change, but I have a feeling I'm not alone in this regard.
Are you using the default interface or the experimental interface (you can click on settings to see which one you are using)?

The default one should link to HN discussion/article

Upon rereading, I realize it isn't clear that I'm arguing that we aren't observing a speculative bubble in education, but something considerably more harmful. I've edited the post to (hopefully) make this more clear.

I merely used the term "education bubble" as a way of referencing a continuing conversation.
This is close to the solution I had in mind, however summing lots of 64 bit integers probably yields a huge number that overflows, so some Bigints (which are comparatively slow) or clever hackery might be required to mitigate that.
This "cloud-pocalypse" simultaneously affected multiple availability zones in US-East. Had you had the misfortune to have your multi-AZ pair in two affected zones you would have had significant downtime. The only architectures that were truly safe from this outage were those with a completely multi-region strategy, and I suspect those are very far and few between.
You're just describing levels of privacy. Head's of state can of course have private discussions, where only the contents of conversation is private - but the fact the conversations took place are not private. Compare that to AnonA talked to AnonB - We're still aware two people communicated, but it's even more private as we can't infer their relationship (And probabilities about what might have been discussed - from other metadata of the conversation time,place,duration,frequency). And finally, perfect privacy nobody knows that a conversation took place in the first place and the contents are unknown too.

There is also still privacy in public communications when done anonymously, as you can't tie the information disclosed to the real identity (necessarily). -- Hence why for privacy purposes advertising data is often anonymized. (But again, less private of course, if ie I said I was a 2 fingered man in Poland and there is only 5 people fitting that description)

So I'd still say, perfect privacy cannot occur without anonymity.
Frankly, the US' overly complicated tax code ends up backfiring. It's of course compounded by Intuit lobbying against simplified filing.

For starters, there's so much complexity to it that unless you use software like this or a CPA it's almost certainly the case you're leaving money on the table. And it also means that if you're a very high net worth individual there are a lot of loopholes that allow you to defer or significantly reduce your tax burden.
Tax offences were not even prosecuted in the Dutch Caribbeans, so of course they didn't exist! Token gestures are being made to change this [1], under pressure from the EU, but do you really think an entire industry will disappear?

The view from the inside is different than the view from the outside.
Not sure if that was a joke or not, but this problem has already been solved in CSS (@font-face). Though the downside to that would be that they'd then have the issue of hosting copyrighted content (ie the typeface).
Apparently it's not all that exclusive to get top-secret clearance to government intel (as evidenced by the Snowden incident).

Also, who is it that was calling him 'very smart, opinionated, and political'? It could be that he was smart, opinionated, and political in favor of the agenda that the army invaded Iraq & Afghanistan under. If I'm in a position of power in the Army and I see that someone is smart and opinionated in favor of my agenda, that's someone likely to gain a security clearance from me.

I don't completely disagree with you though. It seems pretty logical to me that war is a nasty business where morals are swept under the rug.

I think it would take more thorough research to postulate on Manning's political leanings prior to the war. My gut feeling is he was liberal-leaning prior, and his conscience was attacked by the reality of what he experienced.

Literally.

For Big Hero 6 we also translated and replaced all of the Japanese text in San Fransokyo with Chinese and Korean for the Chinese and Korean markets. By "text" I mean all of the CG signs, posters, and environmental set dressing in the actual movie (not just the dialogue).

We literally had to re-render the entire movie for each translation. Disney Animation takes these translations very seriously :-)
It doesn't make sense to me that Mozilla would spend this much effort on a playground. I suspect they're managing expectations when they say it's not intended to replace Gecko.
They've been trying that for 20 years.
What? It's not the right to be popular. It's the right to artistic freedom, including sexualized comic books, regardless of whether or not you're popular.
The Falcon 9 does have attitude control system towards the top: the nitrogen cold gas thrusters in the Reaction Control System is located in the interstage portion of the vehicle - right at the top of the first stage

The gimballing engines give attitude control at the bottom, as far as I understand
What if we could cure cancer and heart disease by physically debilitating a few dozen people? Would that also be okay?
Depends on the environment really. If you're looking at measuring performance where competitors are not able to game the system (like, in professional sports) then Glicko 2 does a slightly better (but statistically significant) job than Glicko 1.
Developers are not paid to write code, they are paid to come up with a software solution to a (usually business) problem.
But the comment you replied to talked about attractiveness in general.

Embedded generation will firstly displace local load before exporting any power back to the system. If the generation disconnects all you are left with is the load. If the frequency is falling and the ROCOF protection is going to cause the generation to trip, better to trip the load too otherwise the system just gets an increase in load.
Can confirm this. The best engineers I’ve worked with have been remote from Poland and Russia. Insane quality of code architecture
