Obviously, if you're planning on using 85% of your assets in the very near future, that's an exception.

But in general, if your financial advisor suggests going 95% cash for the long haul, you should probably get someone else.
The (now resigned) CEO prided himself on being an engineer and in depth knowledge. I don't believe he didn't know how VW was able to market clean diesel engines in the US without having a clean diesel emission system for them.

His big thing was to be the largest car maker and he needed to juice US sales to get there. He had to have spent a lot of time on US strategy. The shitty part is that he succeeded--they became #1 (this year!) and he has a huge pension to retire on.
If you want to provide additional value as a data scientist, then spend some time to understand the business context. There are some things that you can model with data but we live in a world where there are many other forces at hand that we don't have the capability of inputting it in our model yet.

Traditionally, it's usually a business manager working with the data analyst. If you're someone who can bridge the gap on both sides, your career is likely to be well set and you'll be in great demand.
What makes you say that "rich kids" implies second-generation wealth? Everyone I know who uses it in a pejorative sense is pretty clearly referring to how most of the people in question are still being carded at bars. A 23-year-old making $120K is on the lower end of upper-class and can safely be assured of moving upward barring very unusual circumstances. And if you work in startup-ish/leading-edge tech, I'll lay even-odds on "spoiled" fitting. (Where do you think all the Mom-replacement startups, the feed-me-and-do-my-laundry startups, come from?) I am profoundly fortunate in my choice of career and the benefits I've realized from it--and I don't apologize for it, but I at least try to keep perspective on my extreme good fortune. There but for the grace of God, so on and so forth.

The backlash is not against "kids", but unreasonable defensiveness about the word "rich," because "oh, I'm not rich, I'm just getting by even though I have a stupid-good 401k and benefits and make enough money to never look at a bank statement." When you have to own up to just not really working all that hard and just not really having a struggle in your life that you didn't create, lots of people feel real bad. (And the ones that are hurting people with real problems should feel bad. "But economics" does not clean one's hands of one's contributions to even faceless evil.)
Episode 30: MVPs and Product Validation WithIan Lawson – Chasing Product
Nope, definitely systemic within the company. The engine is a system that must meet certain requirements. The standard way of meeting those requirements is to have a urea injection system. That's what the competitors in the US do; it's also what Subaru, for example, don't do, and they don't sell into the US market.

In order to pull off this little 2-person hack that Horn alleges, those couple of software engineers would have to have a major say over the entire engine design. I call bullshit. This little hack ONLY makes sense in the absence of other major engine components.

The company culture is clearly absolutely rotten and their execs are liars. Employee morale, especially in engineering, must be through the floor.
This study was SPECIFICALLY about savings; and that's why it's a deliberately misleading thing.

So called "cash buffer" problems are actually a separate problem for many people. For many americans, maintaining a cash buffer is an inappropriate strategy because of their revolving credit balances.
couple of software engineers, just like a couple of low ranking employes decided to do the _same_ thing at Peugeot, Renault, Citroen, Volvo and Ford!

Furthermore, there's a good filter in place for the kind of people who can succeed on the 'down' end of the Boss interface. It's usually a college degree or work history of some sort. There's no good filter for the kind of people who are able to actually make decisions. I mean, you might be able to recruit from some particularly agent-y community, or design a test based off of constructive developmental theory, but good luck with all that.
Verizon revives "zombie cookie" device tracking on AOL's ad network
Plenty of people in NW Arkansas, particularly Fayetteville and Eureka Springs, aren't huge Walmart/Tyson/JB Hunt fans.
I really like systemd. My blog has a 10 line .service file. My app has a 10 line .service file. My load balancer has a 10 line service file. They're way less brittle than bash scripts would have been. Stdout automatically becomes logs with the service name attached. It's nice.
Except that it's not rubbish. Most people do spend large amounts of their paycheck on things they don't need. Just because he makes good money doesn't mean his concepts of saving a large percentage of what you earn aren't sound. They apply to all income levels, even more so for the lower ones.

Following his advice and sticking to a budget has gotten me from saving nothing every month to saving at least half of my take home on the same salary. Most people spend their money without thinking and then look for external sources to blame when they run out.
The 2nd amendment was added based on how societies have worked since the dawn of time. Keep in mind that even in our "modern" era ~100,000,000 people were murdered by their own governments in the 20th century.
> People don't argue about using the word rape on reddit, that place is a bastion for anti-trigger warning rhetoric much like tumblr is a haven for pro-trigger warning rhetoric.

Sure, if you ignore TwoXChromosomes, Shit___Says, etc.

Reddit is not one community, and talking about Reddit as if it is a bastion of anything only shows your ignorance on this topic. Certain subreddits certainly are bastions of full-on sexism and racism, but others are the diametric opposite.

> Nobody says you can't talk about rape, just give people a heads up before you do.

This is simply incorrect. Most people don't say you can't talk about rape, but there are definitely people on Reddit who say you can't talk about rape.

> If you live next door to a veteran that you know suffers from PTSD, you ask him/her about using fireworks before you do it, right? Trigger warnings are the same thing except on the internet and instead of not talking about it the person just knows to stop reading.

If I know my neighbor is a veteran with PTSD, I probably just wouldn't shoot off fireworks. I'm not an asshole.

But Reddit isn't my neighbor, it's a cross-section of the entire internet, and there's no way I can possibly avoid triggering all of the myriad of possible mental illnesses people could be experiencing on the internet. Completely sanitized content is not something you can reasonably expect in a diverse community.

People who don't want to see content about rape can definitely go to Subreddits that enforce these kinds of rules. None of the subreddits I subscribe to allow hate speech, and talk about rape would be deleted because it's off topic. I've managed to avoid "triggering" content completely unintentionally, just by subscribing to subreddits that are on topics that interest me. People who are at risk for being triggered by talk about rape are just as capable of that as I am. It's much more reasonable to simply subscribe to reddits with content you care about than to try to force every community on Reddit to participate in the treatment of your mental illness.

> Also, this isn't policing thoughts. Think whatever you want. Say what you want. Understand the consequences. I will think what I want and respond how I want and understand the consequences.

It isn't about policing thought for you. You sound like a reasonable person. Unfortunately not everyone involved in this discussion is so reasonable.
Which books should you get to learn iOS?
I just today listened to the BBC Bottom Line Special [1] on this, and their guests, one who used to run Jaguar, and an expert on VW, don't buy it. Their argument is that the engineers in VW could have done a proper job, but the technology would add another $500 to each vehicle, and VW must have been looking for a way not to spend the $500. And all the other VW engineers would ask "How did you do it?".

So I had to retry my search after five minutes, but was really impressed with the results. I searched "Roguelike Game Development." About a third were meaningless, a third were meaningless but made me think of something useful, and a third I could probably use as interview questions when talking to a game developer.

Any chance of an API? I'm working on a head mounted display software system that could integrate something like this, not as a writing prompt, but as a conversation prompt with someone.
Check out Harry Browne's Permanent Portfolio:

It's a relatively low risk way to invest.
Your basic assumption is that a housing subsidy from HUD is equivalent to cash on hand. Which would imply the US government is as efficient as individuals when it comes to allocating resources which I find highly suspect.

In the end a lot of 'government assistance' really lines other peoples pockets and only indirectly assists the poor.
Google Just Bought abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz.com
Exactly. In the UK, 99% of the population wouldn't even know how to begin getting hold of a handgun. If they started making serious enquiries, chances are they'd run into an undercover cop before they found someone able to supply them something illegal.

While I don't doubt that the knowledge of who to talk to and where to go to get a gun is present in certain UK communities, the basic fact that everybody involved in procuring, handling and importing guns is committing a criminal act certainly acts as a pretty solid prevention mechanism to stop, say, an angry 20-something man from acquiring sufficient guns and ammo to go on a shooting rampage at a college.
I'm surprised to see this on HN. This should be called "Illegally download any song".

I think the project is extremely cool and you have props from me - but I hate it when people try to skate the simple fact that stuff like this is illegal. ROMs and emulators have shown up on imgur many times as "free" - like as if the publishers have released the rights to the game(s).
Google and Apple Would Make Cell Service Better By Bidding
It reminds me of a story about someone who misunderstood the point when she heard people were begging for bread.

"Qu'ils mangent de la brioche."
If it were 1340 injections in 800 days, it would better fit and possibly support the story, especially the begin:

"At the end, when he was already hiding in his wet and dark Fuhrerbunker and his beloved Eukodal was no longer available, the dictator was in a frail state."

But the statement "the first in 1943, when the Americans landed in Sicilia" gives us the begin date: 10th of July 1943, only 660 days before the famous suicide.
Some of that is Google's fault but I place most of the blame on the businesses themselves.

I'd understand it if most of the local businesses that forgo an online presence were all 1-4 person, family operations where they're all too old to have a "Google it first" mindset. However the majority of businesses that refuse to register themselves with Google have no excuse. I can search for the closest laundromat, tire shop, florist, etc directly by name and address and the only results will be those sites that scrape the secretary of state's corporate filings.

Google has made the process of creating an online presence the simplest, most painless process imaginable. Google's My Business service gets you on Maps with all the important info (location, hours, services, etc) for free, yet so few businesses take the importance of being a top, location based result. If a business doesn't come up in my location based search it's as good as if it never existed.
For a lot of people, getting a higher education is not a decision made by economical motivations. When I decided to pursue an MSc, I was well aware that it's very possible that I would have had a higher lifetime income just staying in the industry, or being satisfied with a BSc. It's not about the money.
Here's some interesting info on retirement accounts for those 50-64.

http://www.economicpolicyresearch.org/guaranteeing-retiremen...

In short, very few Americans will be retiring at all, much less comfortably.
Parent opposes a device that would record the timestamp, location, and owner of a gun when fired. This information should definitely not be secret in a self-defense or other justified killing.

Parent, that is, myself, does not oppose on those grounds, as I explained in reply to you. I don't think it's constructive to imply that in a reply to another without replying to me.

And come to think of it, I don't want to have to explain to the state every time I fire one of my firearms. Especially seeing as how I've done that over ten thousand times without, you know, actually shooting anybody.

I would hope you could see the potential for abuse, for a chilling effect on good things like practicing with your firearms for proficiency.
It looks like all this is doing is in essence just searching for the lyrics on youtube, finding the first result and then passing it to youtube-dl.

It seems to me the tech world has a lot of folks in it who aren't especially socially savvy. This is why they tend to hire out things like marketing.

Just because it seems obvious to you does not mean it was obvious to him. And perhaps it is bland because a) he learned that being too specific about things is a potential minefield and b) he is still socially awkward enough that glossing over the details is the best way he knows how to handle it. It takes substantial social savvy to get into the details and not just dig your grave deeper. So it does not surprise me that his main takeaway may be "Don't do certain really stupid things that amount to cutting your own throat" and he still is not qualified to instruct others in a detailed way as to how to not make those errors to start with.

Edit: I will note that, so far, the piece has no upvotes. So you aren't the only one who thinks the takeaway is pretty meh.
I thought it had a huge slant as well. I get it, the Nazi's did cruel things, but I'm a little leery of articles like this that are so demonizing. Can't we just talk about them as a facet of history?
Counter point:

Numerous financial experts assert the current valuations within the stock market do not reflect the underlying fundamentals; or, in other words, ZIRP allows for cheap debt in the bond markets which many firms are using to aggressively buy back stock, thereby artificially inflating the market value. Thus, "a correction" is due and his statement is still valid from a conservative investing standpoint.
how can downloading youtube videos be illegal? roms & emulators are perfectly legal.

if it was illegal why would it still exist publicly?

if something was illegal you bet your ass the USG will take it down.
Same here. We use Quay and are not happy. Their service seems more down than up. The UX is awful.
Upstart is pretty similarly easy to use in my limited experience with it. Definitely a nice idea to have stdout just automatically go to a log file.
This is using youtube-dl, which downloads the youtube video and converts it to an audio file. Not illegal. At least in my country..
PM for Quay.io here, my contact information is in my profile if you would like to discuss ways in which we can improve the product. We are always looking for ways to deliver the best possible experience.
BTW, on a fresh Win10 install (Py3.5) I had a bit of trouble b/c of the lack of extension. Had to add the .py prefix and it worked then :)
That's evidence of pollution in general being a problem, which isn't even in the same ballpark as establishing culpability for any amount of deaths for an extra amount of one kind of pollutant by one carmaker over a fixed time period.
Yes, it is opposite in grad school. Recessions bring U.S. students. In a booming economy, qualified students take high-paying jobs. In a recession, they ride it out in grad school. (I only have anecdotal evidence for this claim.)

"Winterkorn’s professional career began in 1977 as a specialist assistant in the research division "Process Engineering" at Robert Bosch GmbH. From 1978 to 1981 he headed the refrigerant compressor development group "Substances and Processes" at Robert Bosch GmbH and Bosch-Siemens-Hausgeräte GmbH.

In 1981 Winterkorn joined AUDI AG as assistant to the Member of the Board for Quality Assurance. Two years later, he assumed responsibility for "Measuring Technology/Sampling and Test Laboratory" at Audi. At the beginning of 1988, he was made departmental head of "Central Quality Assurance", and in 1990 Head of Audi Quality Assurance.

In 1993 Winterkorn became Head of "Group Quality Assurance" at Volkswagen AG and was appointed General Representative of Volkswagen AG in March 1994."

These would be his formative years. It seems he focused on processes and quality rather than actual technology, IMO.
What makes a disease eradicable
You're missing the single best part of it: add on top of that mentorship from someone who's a world-class expert. My PhD advisor was probably the single best programmer I knew.

He taught me things about the Linux kernel that I'm not sure I could have learned anywhere else. I'm sure plenty of programmers are kernel experts, but none of them have the time to sit down and do an all-nighter hackathon with me the way my advisor did.
Here's just to back up atomic_cheese's answer with some references:

Atomically, compares the contents of the memory pointed to by object or by this for equality
with that in expected, and if true, replaces the contents of the memory pointed to by object or by
this with that in desired, and if false, updates the contents of the memory in expected with the
contents of the memory pointed to by object or by this.

http://open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2011/n3242.pd...

Atomically compares the object representation of this with the object representation of expected, as if by std::memcmp, and if those are bitwise-equal, replaces the former with desired (performs read-modify-write operation). Otherwise, loads the actual value stored in this into expected (performs load operation). Copying is performed as if by std::memcpy.

Someone only interested in petty larceny isn't carrying a gun right now for two reasons. They could pawn it for money and if they get caught it will add far more years to their sentence than petty larceny.

Someone who uses a gun illegally today, will use one when they're illegal. At best making guns illegal would stop some domestic murders, but that would have to be weighed against a massive number of people going to jail for not obeying, country wide stop and frisk, and New Orleans style door to door SWAT raids to confiscate.
> Or people without large families choose bigger houses rather than perfectly acceptable ones that two generations ago couples with 7 kids would fit in.

I think about this myself. I have a house that's probably three times the size I need. But I bought it because it got me into a nicer neighborhood. All of the affordable, two-bedroom houses are always in really seedy neighborhoods where cars are always broken into, the cops are always being called out to, etc.

Your system now has millions of more lines of code that few people understand which are vulnerable to privilege escalation, unfortunately. :/

I mean, you could just use Heroku, for free, most likely, to host what you are doing. Should all UNIX become Heroku? What happens if your blog starts doing a billion page views a day? When one of the systemd processes is taking up 95% CPU, what do you do?

I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying these are the type of concerns its' critics have. I am a fan of a lot of the ideas. I have downgraded several Linux systems which I needed To Work(tm) because of systemd being completely half-assed, and there are some great audits of its' code which make it appear to have been written by kindergarten students.

Can you post your 10 lines for us to see?
that is very true, but a lot of people that couldnt afford to lose money lost that and more (percentage wise) in between march - sept. 2008. Your best bet is to put money in vanguard index funds targeted for your ideal retirement year and check it once a year - but for people that are trading single stocks/options/.etc, i think Roubini is right - he is also 55 so he is and should be a lot more conservative than someone that is in their early 20s/30s
Interesting cost scheme - $1000 a month - they estimate 600 to 800 hours for a person to complete. So if you can devote 60 hours a week, you can complete in 10 to 12 weeks for $3000. It is an interesting incentive to attract people who can commit FT to making a career transition. And, if they pull it off this puts the training at something less than the $7K to $12K that I have noted for other bootcamp style training.

On the other hand if you take it at a slower pace, or you learn slower and so it takes you 1000 to 1200 hours to complete ... you could be paying right in the same zone as other bootcamps.

This appears to be all online rather than an in-person training - unless I missed something
What a total fucking asshole.
Microsoft can still get money from Samsung, as Google produces much less phones and Samsung a lot of them, and simply using Android doesn't mean that Samsung doesn't have to pay for the patents.

Our ability to reach our audience is strong, just not in the US because we don't do marketing here yet. If you are in the UK there is a much greater chance you've heard of us. This is commensurate with the quality of our library in the UK where we've signed much more significant content deals. In the US our library is not where we want it to be yet, so it's a slow burn while we improve the core product and get the deals in place. One mistake we didn't do that you often see with video/music startups was to raise $10M and blow it on content licensing before we had the audience. We're ratcheting up step by step, and we're lining things up for a bigger US presence very soon.
Flawed survey, it asks “How much money do you have saved in your savings account?" Which isn't the same as "how much savings do you have?"
