"Deep web" refers to sites that aren't indexed by search engines. A synonym is "invisible web"

"Darknet" refers to "overlay networks that can only be accessed with specific software, configurations, or authorization, often using non-standard communications protocols and ports." Tor is an example of a darknet. There are many others (someone else mentioned SIPRnet as one).

"Dark Web" refers to websites on a darknet. Dark web, by definition, is part of the deep web. Tor hidden services are part of the dark web.

Rolling Stone is wrong when it says "The Darknet (sometimes called the Dark Web)" that's analogous to saying "The Internet (sometimes called the World Wide Web)."
Good point. I should have said, "an allegedly dead guy".
I wanted to like California, but every time I visit (mostly LA) I end up spending hours stuck in traffic getting places. It kills it for me, it makes the joy of nice weather, palm trees, the laid back attitude, the views, the beaches, kind of not worth it. I tried the Metro, but it didn't go where I wanted to go somehow. I tried the buses, but there were too crowded and they got stuck in traffic just as much as the cars.
You also have to wonder how much startups are benefitting from the increasing number of startups, specifically B2B companies that sell to early-stage startups.

Sex and Vision I: Spatio-Temporal Resolution (Male and Female Brains)
The space shuttle program was a horribly expensive sideways step that help back space exploration.
The thing is, California died a long time ago. The state which elected Ronald Reagan as governor is long, long gone. I have family there, and every time I visit I'm struck by what a bureaucratic nightmare it is: everything is regulated, registered, taxed, adjusted, but most of all controlled.

As far as I can tell, from my visits, California is dystopia. A different sort of dystopia than Washington, D.C. or Boston, but a dystopia nonetheless.

There's enough money in the world to pay me to live in California, but no-one would pay it to me.
"Thus, something is happening behind the scenes that they don't want to talk about."

Which is explained later in the piece.

"A statement provided to us Friday from the Panama Canal Authority said that a high level of arrivals during the last in September coincided with schedule dry-chamber maintenance."

Unless you think that's a bogus reason too?
If you think Cushing storage of 3 days is massive, you will be shocked with Strategic Petroleum Reserve maintained by US govt, that covers a large swath underground below Texas and Louisiana states, and only holds about 30 days of consumption.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Strategic_Petroleum_Reserve_%2...

Actually, Cushing storage is not that much. Unlike SPR, it is mostly short term storage in between transit. Cushing is a transfer point between different pipelines that connect at Cushing which also later became a delivery point for oil and gas futures traded in futures market.
Huh. I tested it out on serde-toml; does it have a bug, then?
We're still a long way off from drought relief, but more concerning is how long away we are from decent public schools or relief in insane housing prices in the Bay Area. Until the whole region builds a lot more housing it's only going to get worse sadly.

Ask HN: How difficult was it to move from Coder to Manager?
When I was promoted from Coder to Team Lead, I found the change really difficult to make. In fact, I have yet to find anyone who found the transition easy.

I would like to know how difficult (or easy) this transition was for others. What factors helped / hindered the transition?

In addition to anecdotal stories, a simple rating of your experience of 1 (very hard) to 5 (very easy) is appreciated.

Nice example to look at @wetmore, very jeckyl and something I recognise well. I got sick of trying to get Rails working on my light server so I wrote my own in Python version using the same file structure(.md + yaml). So looking at a Haskell example is great. The only bummer I see using Haskell is the install for GHCi. [0]

[0] All my development is on RaspberryPi. You can get it going hacking thru the source but it's a pain. So the running working code generating things is a sort of anti-dote sort of negates this problem.

When you propose drastic measures like surgery, I think it crosses that line. If you don't believe me, why don't you either answer my question or explain why the analogy to sex/race/gender discrimination doesn't apply? Why would you not propose cosmetic surgery to cope with the "manifest reality" of being black or female? (Besides fear of the repercussions if you did, that is.) Why is one "realistic" when the other is clearly out of bounds?

Any complete list of suggestions would include at least a few items aimed at challenging the bias. It doesn't have to be "systemic change"; it could just be calling out the behavior in a specific environment or context. Maybe that would work and maybe it wouldn't, but the same could be said of your "just fit in" suggestions. When the list is so one-sided, it implies that acceptance is the only logical course. That's wrong. It's not enough to admit that ageism exists (and then only when challenged). If you don't acknowledge the need for change then you're part of the problem.

P.S. Since you keep re-editing what I'm responding to instead of adding new responses, putting it off isn't so great either. Yeah, sure, we'll start thinking about justice some day. We have more important things to worry about this week, right?
No. Ideas are not as important as sensing what consumers need in the market.

It doesn't matter there are other 10^n distracting ideas, the real need of consumers will still be there.

For example, Theranos may be a distraction, but that doesn't change the underlying problems and demand for better healthcare.
How does an Uber driver reject a fare they've already accepted? Since they don't know the destination until they pick you up, are they kicking you out of the car after they pick you up? I've heard that Uber tracks the number of "driver canceled after accepting a fare" incidents and warns drivers if they do it too frequently.
GDP is not necessarily strongly related to poverty. But you are right. According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_states_and_territories_... Tamil Nadu is above the midddle when you rank by poverty. I stand corrected.

any visualization of these algorithms in 2 dimensions (with cubic feature expansion!) is completely misleading if you intend to work on any real problem with many dimensions. Also, for those asking for execution times, these would be horribly misleading as well.
I had/have a real job as a software engineer that pays an order of magnitude more than driving for Uber. Also the guy that puked all over my car did it at 7:00 so not exactly the time you might have expected something like that to happen. Wasn't worth it for me.
Perhaps. Although lot of articles seem to claim that he was from a lower-middle class family, and i was basing my statement on those. His upbringing probably wasn't uncomfortable but still it was modest.

Oddly, I have the exact same feeling when it comes to tablets in general. I struggle to play with them in the same way that I do my computer. And ultimately find myself back on my computer when I want to do anything other than read, listen to music, listen to book, or talk to someone.

I can see some ways that my Nexus 6 is a better device than my Fire. In large, it doesn't matter. My eInk reader is better for reading than either. And for being productive I need more than either can do.
True, but consider how much flour America uses in 3 days: according to the USDA[1] we're looking at about 150,000 tons of flour per day.

I get that, but I don't agree with his premise. There are so many un-surfed breaks along the coast -- it's just that people tend to all go to the same spots (Huntington Beach or San Clemente down here in socal), instead of getting creative and finding new surf breaks. So while I am probably his age (in my 40s) I don't share his jaded perspective. I like finding new places, learning new things. My wife Mel goes with me often and we really enjoy California the way it is right now! That's coming from someone who travels a lot - I visited 17 countries in the last year over several months and while I've enjoyed many places I always look forward to coming back and camping on BLM land where we can drive offroad, launch model rockets and just enjoy open spaces.

Cat bonds were developed by insurance companies to offset the potentially large losses associated with natural disasters.

Investors purchase cat bonds, which pay interest as long as no predefined trigger conditions are met. If the trigger condition, such as a damaging hurricane, occurs, investors forfeit their principal, which is used to pay claims arising from the catastrophe.

Investors like them because they offer enticing, uncorrelated returns, and insurers like them as an alternative to reinsurance.

You can learn more about them here: http://www.artemis.bm/library/what-is-a-catastrophe-bond.htm...
The Codist: Programming Is Not a Dying Profession
If you're only visiting LA, you're going to run into traffic. LA has arguably the first or second worst traffic in all of the US. As a counter-anecdote, I live in what could be considered an Oakland or SF suburb, and I can get everywhere I need to go by either walking or taking bart. I sit in traffic maybe two or three times a year.
Procedures for Transiting the Panama Canal
Users can enter the destination before being picked up. I've had drivers cancel before arriving, so I usually wait to enter the destination until my seat belt is buckled.
I tried once or twice, but each version seemed to be less and less intuitive. The last version I tried even removed all the menus, you'd boot it up and just get a blank screen.

I finally switched to Cursive Clojure, stuff just worked out-of-the-box with no surprises.
Exactly. I've lived in and visited so many amazing places that are just ruined by the traffic. For the last 1+ years I'm living in a nice (not amazing) place with few traffic problems and it really just seems better. I'll save the amazing places for vacations from now on, I think.
Interesting article, but mostly self-serving and not really aware of how the fiat-system really works.

Systemic collapse of the dollar will destroy real economies.

Every stock market will be in a state of flux, as the base-value of risks/rewards are derived against the US 10-year bond.

What is the point of keeping bitcoins when the system that allows it to function could collapse?

Do you think servers will keep running in the real world when there is no dollar or other fiat currency that normal people use?

At that level of uncertainty, you are better off with gold stored remotely.
If demand peaks at t=0, the second market sellers are going to buy out the entire supply early where demand and price are the lowest, and then use economic hold up to inflate their prices even further. All you're doing with this system is guaranteeing that consumers who want to pay a lot of money early on are guaranteed to do so.

Considering that this is an imperfect market and the second market sellers are more knowledgeable, average consumers are going to the ones paying out here, not the resellers.
Sure, just to play the devil's advocate here (I support for giving feedback in constructive manner when possible), sometimes giving a feedback in a constructive manner is simply inefficient and some manager may not have time to do it every time they think something isn't perfect.

When you live there you learn when to not go on the freeway. The worst traffic for me has by far been SF. Twice I've been stuck in gridlock trying to get from say Keary and Grant to SOMA and it's taken 45 minutes just to go 2 miles. I've learned to just avoid that area in a car on a weekday anytime between 3pm and 7pm

It's self-perpetuating. People do mean things to other people because other people have done mean things to them or their group because of that group and the cycle continues. It doesn't help that people often fail to recognize the fundamental attribution error in play, either.
basically everything that is wrong with Atom is wrong with Light Table, which also now just uses the Atom backend.

I really enjoyed using light table for a few years but not working in clojure, the integrations were never really something i explored to make the weight worth it, and it often had issues with freezing for fairly simple operations.
> Does "right sort of people" sound ominous to you? YEP, exactly as bad as you think it is.)

But does it have good predictive value? Statistics don't care about individuals, and neither does the reality they describe. Are one's family's behaviours good predictors of one's own behaviours? I strongly suspect that the answer is a resounding YES. The apple doesn't fall far from the tree, after all—at least not usually.

And shouldn't it be the responsibility of the outliers to demonstrate that they are, in fact, outliers, rather then the responsibility of the rest fo society to extend the benefit of the doubt to every last person who turns up to claim it?

I agree with everything you said and don't think this format is bad at all, but regarding your "Y10K problem" note, I actually prefer PHP date format, that is "Y/y" instead of "yyyy/yy".

First of, I'm sure you need year far more often than "week year", so the less intuitive encoding for the latter is acceptable and I have to admit that confusing letter case is pretty easy when the result is identical for most of the time (so simple "run it, see if it works" won't help, and that's exactly how everybody does programming).

Second, I don't imagine I'll ever want to display last three symbols of the year instead of the full year, and I most of the time don't want to get "0476" instead of "476" — and if I do, I'm actually OK with post-processing for these special occasions. The only thing I actually want is full year format (whatever long it is) or, rarely, short (2-letter) year format (which I actually think is stupid and never use it except somebody specifically asks me to). So while I'm absolutely clear with what "Y/y" does, I have no idea what 'yyy' would do for 4-digit long year or what 'yyyy' would do for 3 or 5 digit long year for that matter.
Unlike those other areas, which I think can be combatted through cultural change and pressure, ageism is one that I think will remain a great deal more stubborn and resistant to change, and I don't feel that I have anything really useful to suggest other than "be aware of it and try not to be ageist." I could certainly be wrong, and I hope am. I just don't feel particularly hopeful about it. There's a comparable bias I don't think societies will have much luck with, either: "ugliness bias":

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/economics/8765360/Does-be...

I just don't see good ways of fixing that. (There's also "height bias", but I actually think that one might be fixable culturally.)

Edit: I know it seems defeatist, and maybe it is, but it's an area I just don't feel hopeful about.
Being Egotistical shouldn't be conflated with being an Egotistical Asshole. Ego if used in the right way can be a powerful force for the better. America's moonshot was a collective ego of an entire nation that led them to achieve it.

I watched an interview by Charlie Rose of Google's operation guy called Lazlo, I thought it was a great interview. He said having intellectual humility is important (does not mean less ego), which is the curiosity to learn or accept if you were wrong. Ego I am not convinced is such a harmful thing, and lets not say it is harmful just because many software engineers being introverts have a confirmation bias against it.
USC offers free Uber to students when traveling at night in the surrounding neighborhood. They've had a car service since the 70's, but before Uber it was a pain-in-the-ass to use. As a result, nobody drives drunk.
I think to "belong" is an innate human drive. Some groups make it harder to belong -- "you don't have the right ancestry, your great-grandfather has a foreign last name", "your skin is a bit too dark", "eyes are too squinty" and so on.

Other groups make it easier to belong. Say being an American is easy. Not to sing praises to America in general, but that part is easier. I was born in another country, but I can say I am American and most American could agree with that, even if I have a funny accent going on. They would say nothing to my kid, won't dig into their history either. That is a nice thing to have. So "belonging" is easier.

It is harder not to belong to any group. I think that is part of your acquaintance problem. If somehow she felt she was Korean, that would be more comforting perhaps.

Old societies and cultures seem cute, quaint or reverent to many, but there is that stuff about being prejudiced and bigoted.

In a some kind of a Darwinian way one can argue "ok, good, that society and culture will eventually lose out and be at a disadvantage", let them be exclusive and patriarchal and bigoted, they will wither way eventually. Of course that doesn't make it easier to for those born in those cultures.
Unfortunately, as you're keenly aware, the software development industry has a tendency to attempt to reinvent itself every few years. It might stop eventually.

For the specific problem of python, consider using 2to3.py to catch most problems (it'll fix up minor API changes and the like). It might help :)

Although being pessimistic about technology is my pass time, I'd imagine that breaking backwards compatibility is not done for business purposes. Two points of data on that line of reasoning:
1. C has a number of active, popular compilers (gcc, clang and msvcc, but I haven't kept up) which keeps maintainers from individually removing _too_ much functionality -- it's typically a poor business decision to remove compatibility bullet points from your product. Python (excluding pypy since it makes the typically poor business decision to remove compatibility bullet points) and F# are single-major implementation languages, giving them a fair bit more freedom to experiment.
2. Off the top of my head, Java and C# have compatibility going back many, many years. Considering that they've huge corporate backers that would have a lot of incentive to deprecate functionality continuously, that seems a good counterexample. A point could be made regarding feature addition rather than subtraction, but similarly that applies to C++ ...

I don't think intention matters. For two reasons: The material effect of the bias is what is being evaluated and is more important than the intentions of the person acting on the bias, and assigning intention is always fraught with post-hoc rationalizations because human beings have limited access to their own internal behavior, let alone the behavior of an ensemble of humans.

There have been numerous stories used to justify the systematic and institutional biases and injustices against women throughout history: whether it is appeals to the divine order set forth by God, or appeals to the biological inferiority of women or the insistence that there is actually a structural bias against men and for women throughout society because, nominally, our institutions discarded explicit affirmations of male superiority and took up explicit goals for gender equality.

Bias is bias and it is out of fashion to insist that women are inferior to men. So I would not be surprised that the personal stories we tell ourselves to justify our biased actions avoid that rhetoric and take a different tack. Racists insist they are color blind and people who talk about structural racism are the real racists. A similar logic holds in gender politics.
Yeah, I guess both are true :-)

A typical Japanese will not hate a person because of having a Korean ancestry. Actually there are many celebrities who have a korean background and also are very respected.(e.g. Masayoshi Son, Akiko Wada, Tomoaki Kanemoto, Akira Maeda)

Typically, Japanese people are kind and generous, and they will closely look at the person's attitudes.
The people who are not liked are the people who hate Japan and the Japanese people.

As an example, people who graduated from the Korean School (Chousengakkou) will be given an Anti-Japanese education. I heard from a Korean background person that at a Korean School, if you speak Japanese at the school, you will be beaten by your mates.

Few years ago, there were K-POP trend in Japan, and people were very interested in Korean culture and the Korean people. But when they start knowing that the majority of Korean people have huge hatred towards Japan and also the Japanese people, now many Japanese people are becoming suspicious when they hear the word Korea. It is not because they are racist or not. It is just a rule of thumb or statistics.
