Does private schooling provide no benefit?

Private tutoring?

Family donations to elite schools?

Legacy admission?

Further:

Does food security provide no benefit to the ability to learn and retain information?

Does a violent environment offer the equivalent value as a non-violent environment, in terms of being able to focus on schoolwork?

Does a multi-parent child receive no additional educational advantage over a single-parent child?

Does having access to paid resources not offer any benefit?

Does attending better funded public schools not matter?

Does having better paid teachers not matter?

Does having the right cultural and social experiences not matter for forming networking relationships?

Does living amongst primarily successful and well educated people offer no advantage offer growing up amongst poor uneducated people?

You are missing the actual realities of trying to educate a poor child versus a rich child. Money grants you educational advantages in hundreds of ways.

You absolutely /can/ buy a better education. Full stop.
That's a good example as to why this tool should probably have the option to output a sample of the top-N guesses.

Some sentences are just totally ambiguous without context. "Fruit flies like a banana." isn't even good English. Is the sentence trying to say "Some particular fruit flies like a particular banana"? Or "All fruit flies like any banana"?

By the way, Spacy creator - how's the NER coming along?

To further expand on your comment, Tim Pope's Fugitive plugin is an almost exact replica of OP's tig program.

Fugitive allows you to perform almost all of these actions while still in Vim; I'd say it's almost a must-have for anyone who uses Vim and Git.

I use DB across many machines, some "permanently" on, two laptops and a (sporadically on) home desktop. Never had a conflict I couldn't recover from - and the 5-10 minutes some of the machines take to finish syncing are usually best spent catching up on e-mail rather than coding.
Not just a BuzzFeed article, but a BuzzFeed CATS article. You should be ashamed of yourself.

(But I agree -- BuzzFeed has grown up.)
The amount of dickheads (aka the people that actually harmed others or did really badwrong stuff) that will truly end up getting "what they deserve" (in the eyes those who see it that way), is probably going to be a rather small subset of the total amount of exposed dicks on that site, regardless of how broad a brush of wrongdoing you want to paint with.

Even if there is a part of the leaked users that, if I were to know exactly about their situations, I might agree totally deserve to be outed because of their really shitty and reprehensible actions it just doesn't weigh up against everything else:

- This isn't the Jerry Springer show. No matter the level of dickhead move, the outing doesn't need to be this public for the world. If only for the sake of the wronged parties.

- That gay Saudi guy who now risks being put to death because of this leak, and others like him, they chose AM because it advertised secrecy and discretion, which obviously turned out to be a mistake, but whatever the hackers claim their motive is, leaking the data was a much bigger mistake.

- The incredible amount of domestic abuse fallout that this outing is going to cause.

- The children.

- People that got an account for whatever reason but caught themselves as they realized wtf they were about to throw away.

- Relationships that actually worked hard to get through and over a difficult time, now being confronted again, except this time the mess they wanted to put behind them lies out on the streets for everyone to see.

- People that got an account for shits and giggles. Fake names, fake accounts, fake email adresses and anyone getting caught in the shitstorm surrounding this.

I can think of so many more examples of situations getting caught in the crossfire.

And really, you know that a large part of the slimiest dickheads are still going to get away with this, no matter what.
There are additional problems:

1. It's not going to be an amount barely above the poverty line. If it's implemented "correctly" it needs to be enough to do away with all the other welfare programs. Think way, way higher than $12K per person per year.

2. With less revenue coming in, guess who's going to be hit with higher taxes? All those suckers working to make a marginally higher income.

3. If the BI is sufficiently high (think in the $45K range), there will be a lot of people leaving their jobs to live a life of leisure and avoid having their income taxed at a >50% rate. I know I would.

This utopian idea is like every other: sounds great on the surface, may even work reasonably well at a small level, but doesn't scale. Human nature is what it is.

It appears that the privacy policy makes several references to advertising. I pay money so I don't receive any advertising, so Spotify make no money from me that way.

The part that concerns me is that my data can now be sold to someone else, with ever more excruciating detail about me. Thats the part that concerns me; I don't have an arrangement with those third parties.

There's an implied choice just by bringing up the subject of proportionality.

As for stats we can attack a legion of asterisks to them but that misses the point: there are rich countries that are not unequal. Proportionality is not relevant to the discussion about what the US should do to restore truer meritocracy.
According to their FAQ page the contract templates/UI are free, with their business model being based on their escrow services - which are not being offered publicly yet.

I believe that its going to take them quite some time to start offering escrow services, due to the strict escrow regulation and the (very high!) costs associated with that. My bet is that they won't offer it until after raising their Series A.
If the hackers actually wanted to "unmask infidelity" (in some sort of twisted sense of service to society) they couldn't have done a lazier, lower effort, shittier job at it than blindly dumping the whole AM database onto the torrents.

Ask HN: Alternative to Acrobat for beautiful doc templates?
Hi all,

Our clients send us products to be tested. I want to create a beautiful test report template that each of our employees can populate and send.

The employee would then include the photos from the test and some descriptions of the test process and of each photo.

Our staff all have a different (really old) version of Word. My obvious first thought is an editable PDF, but is there a better alternative?

I can "just" do a header and footer for word, but...
Bi has two main savings, direct welfare and indirect welfare from a flat tax rate. The vast majority of workers make over to 9,225$ per year which is taxed at 10%. If they had a 39.6% tax that's 2730.6 new taxes to offset a BI of 12000$ for a net cost of -9269.4.

Next $9,226-$37,450 is at 15%, bump that to 39.6% and someone making 37,450 costs -9269.4 + 6943.104 = -2,326.30$.

Now if you continue this you find a medean income gets a bigger tax break than 12,000$ per year from the graduated tax rates. Also, with BI you don't need a standard deduction...

Net impact BI's are not simply whatever the BI is * the population.

I can't speak from experience with regards to this particular approach, but I've worked with css-modules with webpack (css-loader), and debugging the class names is no problem at all, CSS source-maps point to the source, you can view the source code within your developer tools. It shouldn't really be any different than debugging Sass generated CSS, for example.
"Cheap out, don't hire anyone, and you'll probably save money. But your company is at risk of collapsing if you get an event you hadn't planned for. Reputation can vanish fast if you have an IT problem and customers can't get their stuff."

Are you implying that Bezos and Amazon's investors are just dumb and don't think about the long term implications of their hiring practices?

You can always short Amazon's stock if you're that confident.

Maybe they did think about it all, and reached the conclusion that this culture and hiring practices will have a better return on the long term.

It is far too easy to say what other people should do with their money...
I think FarmLogs is more about collecting (and making useful) data at the geographic level (rainfall levels, soil types, yieldmaps, etc), and Picktrace is more about collecting data at the operational level (payroll, productivity levels for high labor farm tasks, etc). The agricultural segments they are targeting only slightly overlap as well - Picktrace seems to be built for farms that require large amounts of labor to operate, such as orchards and vegetable farms, while FarmLogs targets high yield row crops, such as corn, soybean, and wheat farms that are highly mechanized.
Actually, it does. If the image size increases, a higher quality version will be loaded if available.

NoSQL is really better than SQL to scale your databases.

Downvoted for what is essentially your opinion presented as a fact. If you want to make such a statement, you'll need to give more context - either in the form of proof, experience, or "other". Just something would suffice really - anything. You'll find a lot of people agreeing with you if you add such context.

Without context, it's nothing more than "Vanilla is better than chocolate - hands down."
the sad thing is, both of you are right, and no matter what I do, I cannot decide who is "more right". strange times indeed :)
Christianity and Technological Advance – The Astonishing Connection
I am under no illusions that Apple keeps this information. I've opted out of iAds so I know that my data is not being used against me, and Apple do not sell my data to third-parties.

To be clear, Spotify using my habits and data to improve their service I have no problem with; it makes a better service for me! Same with Apple.

Maybe I should have explained clearer in my original comment (though I thought it was obvious) but I have no problem dealing with companies that I deal with; it's companies I DONT have an arrangement with who I have trouble trusting they wont use my data against me.

And now it appears that Spotify is one of those companies. And all I want to do is stream my playlists on the way to work. Now I have to consider that they may be selling my contacts lists, movements, etc;

It's a plain cash grab at my expense. And I wont do business with businesses that don't respect me or my data.

Common statistical pitfalls to avoid
Well, looking at my payslip, disregarding the fineprint (I have some taxes lower because my wife is a stay-at-home mom) ~40% from what my employer pays for me goes to the state.

This of course includes health insurance, social welfare insurance and income tax.
I'm sure the privacy policy is the same for everyone whether you're paying or not. As far as i remember, a huge part of spotify users don't pay, but listen to those awful ads (i have no idea how one can enjoy music with ads).

So i'm pretty sure, they won't show/play us (paying) customers any ads. Because if they would, many people will cancel their subscription (me included).

A lack of time and a lack of money doesn't change anything. You still need to focus on what pain you're going to solve, and what solution you can sell to people. Figure that out first, then test the ideas by putting them in front of people and getting feedback. At that point (hopefully) people should start offering to buy what you're offering (if they say they love it but they're not willing to buy, they don't love it enough). If they're not buying, iterate and improve the offering, then try pitching it to people again. If there are people buying, start doing the thing you're suggesting. Congratulations, you're now running a startup.

If you don't have much time, do it all over a longer period (months instead of weeks).

If you don't have money, do everything digitally instead of on paper. That's the only difference it makes (at this stage).

> The research is clear: beyond ~40–50 hours per week, the marginal returns from additional work decrease rapidly and quickly become negative.

If that is really true, what does it say about people who are working full-time _and_ trying to do a project on the side?

Are all the people who successfully do that outliers? To have a successful side project do you need to spend less time doing actual work at work? Is there a ticking time-bomb once you start working on a side project (effectively entering a "crunch time"), where after a certain amount of time you're doomed to fail unless you take a break?
Maybe that's part of the incentive. If Apple already have your data then you can't give it them twice. Better to limit the number of companies with access to your data to 1 by using the same company for everything.

This isn't a line of reasoning that appeals to me but I can see how you might want to go this route if you've already compromised on security and privacy to get a shiny new iPhone.
The humanoid tethered robot in the forest is amazing!
Lots of people commenting on that here....one thing to keep in mind is that many people frequent restaurants because of the experience, and how a robot affects the experience needs to be considered when thinking about the value of such a product. Sandwich making is pretty much already automated at the industrial level for making packaged food. The question is how will consumer like going to a sandwich restaurant to buy something that was made by a robot behind the counter? Can it match the higher level of quality provided by a local restaurant?
It's been part of Apple musics announcements since the very beginning
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a Fuck
My experience with panic about privacy policies is that they virtually always sound far worse than they actually are. For example, access to local files (contacts, photos, music) tends to be an all or nothing thing, and Spotify of course needs access to your local music files.

I also don't think they are selling your data to generate revenue. That's a baseless assumption at best and reckless fear-mongering at worst. The one area where many agree Apple Music has got the leg up on Spotify is music discovery. It's pretty obvious, to me at least, that Spotify wants to gather as much data as possible about what you listen to and how you listen to it, then have the freedom to pass that on to third-party data analysis companies who might be better than they are at identifying your tastes. The Discover Weekly playlist, for example, has been a big hit and was created by a company they acquired.
Controversial opinion:
I think this is an acute USA/Silicon Valley problem.

I was in similar situation, working 50-55 hours a week for US corps and it was taking its toll on me. I think the American dream makes people think that work is the the only goal in life.

Then I moved to Europe and boy what a change! People here work 32-40 hours max and take bucket loads of vacation. The quality of work these guys produce is really top notch too.

I wish more people understand that working to death isn't a healthy choice.
One of the big selling points is that basic income is
funded largely by replacing different welfare state
institutions

...which presumably means some people are going to receive less total income under basic income than they did before. And, of those people receiving less total income, some will be the very model of the worthy types people had in mind when they created those benefits.

People in wheelchairs who can no longer afford the specially adapted vehicle they need to get to the shops. Hard-working parents losing their homes (in the city where all homes are expensive) because they can't afford the rent, even though they've only been out of work for a few weeks.

Setting the basic income high enough to cover specially adapted vehicles and family homes in expensive cities would of course be an expensive affair.

Any other substantive change to the terms and conditions require prior written notice. For example, slipstreaming in an app update that said 'from right now your monthly fee will be €20' would not be considered sufficient notice.

So why should privacy be Any different? In fact in this Cloud Era, privacy terms are probably of more concern to users than another dollar on their subscription.

The only reason Spotify didn't give prior notice was to put users in a bind on the spot.

Even Google manages to do it properly!
