It is anecdotal, but as someone who disagrees with Haidt on most things political, his TED talks and books are, to my ears, spot on, and comprised of very rigorous science, which I previous did not think possible in psych fields.

I confess that I liked the article before I noticed the author, though I honestly kept expecting it to devolve into some kind of MRA tirade which would likely have lost me, but after finishing the article and having found no such vitriol, I scrolled up and saw that it was Haidt, which I wish I'd seen earlier as it might have assuaged the tension I felt.

Ask HN: How can a Fullstack Co-Founder Find Fullstack Tech Co-Founders?
10-4 is a brand new enterprise software startup based in NYC and Connecticut. We are looking for tech co-founders. Either Full-time or Part-time is possible, and Remote is an option too. Compensation is also flexible with everything from all-cash to all-equity and cash/equity combos.

10-4 is in the NLP space. Tho, an NLP background is not required to become a 10-4 co-founder. But we guarantee that everyone will learn a ton about NLP as we build a badly needed, innovative product. Ideally, tech co-founder applicants will possess deep experience with AWS, Python, Elasticsearch and PostgreSQL. It is also worth noting that no front-end engineering experience is required.

For more info: http://10-4.ai

All tips to help us find people would be greatly appreciated!
This is way too much for the layman and full of mathematical language. What is null hypothesis? What is "at least as extreme as"? What is probability? Nevermind that the null hypothesis forces us to think in double negatives, which isn't the most intuitive.

It also isn't clear to me how you would apply your example given how most p-values are used. I read an article that says exercising makes you richer with a 95% confidence. So, as a layman, if I attempt to apply your example, it leads me directly into a common p-value mistake: the probability of me becoming richer if I exercise. 95%, right? Wrong!
Fascinating. The magsafe connector is awesome in preventing something snagging the cable from dragging your laptop along with it.

But, as the article says, reliability is a problem. The thing is definitely not toddler-proof. I have a 2012 Macbook Air, and I'm on, I think, my fourth charger.

That's the problem for a lot of people.
If you're being picky, then I can be picky too: the concept of a "pull request" isn't defined in that manpage, only the command "request-pull" is. A "pull request" is an entity in itself.

The command may exist within git, but it's not a part of most people's git workflows. "Pull Request" is a term that's far more commonly attributed-to and associated with tools like GitHub, Gitlab, Bitbucket etc.

Did you know that git has the ability to send patches via email, built in [1]? Git has a lot of functions that the majority of people don't use.

The argument is from the other side. The idea is that the prosecutor clearly didn't prove A & B, so the jury didn't follow the judge's instructions. If the judge had told the jury A | B then the jury's verdict would have been more reasonable, which hurts the defendant's argument that it was unreasonable.
It may not quite be true, but it's not necessarily a lie. People often don't realise where an invention came from.
Had a 2011 Macbook Pro. Was always very nice to the charger, never abusing or dropping it. But Apple's decision with all their cabling to not incorporate strain relief was frustrating. I went through four chargers in four years.

Why does Apple continue to ignore strain relief on their cabling?
That's how those movements were portrayed back in the day, too.
I've bought two replica chargers for $20-30 off ebay.. i'm on my second. The first one lasted a year, which is about how long my original charger lasted due to the cord fraying
You can ask me directly. We are compiling this and other insights, because we found these issues hundreds of times in the Python code we analyse. Clearly, not everyone is aware of the problem that goes along with wrong mode strings, but even if you do, you might still make a mistake when changing them during refactorings. So I think it is good to be aware. Especially for Python beginners it is a good thing to know. Sorry, if this bothered you. We maintain also a repo on GitHub where you can share any of your your insights: https://github.com/quantifiedcode/python-anti-patterns
Same here.
Except replace the drinking with lab research and homework.
I will admit it left a extremely strong negative impression of certain groups methodologies.
There is a third point. Which is that scientists consistently agree with clearly incorrect statements about p-values.

That means that knowing the correct definition is no guarantee that you're actually using it correctly. (Odds are you aren't.)
Let's not rewrite history:

https://blog.mozilla.org/blog/2014/04/05/faq-on-ceo-resignat...

Q: Was Brendan Eich forced out by employee pressure?

A: No. Mozilla employees expressed a wide range of views on Brendan’s appointment as CEO: the majority of them positive and in support of his leadership, or expressing disappointment in Brendan’s support of Proposition 8 but that they nonetheless felt he would be a good leader for Mozilla. A small number (fewer than 10) called for his resignation, none of whom reported to Brendan directly. However media coverage focused disproportionately on the small number of negative comments — largely ignoring the wide range of reactions across the Mozilla community.

Mozilla’s culture of openness extends to encouraging our staff and community to be candid about their views on Mozilla’s direction, including during and after Brendan’s appointment as CEO. We’re proud of that openness and how it distinguishes Mozilla from most organizations.
The study itself is behind the paywall, so there's no actual data to discuss.
It would be very funny, if the study result was actually produced by a gender difference, rather than a profession.
Or is there a charger at Apple's price, but more reliable?
(I use Pocket, and also got that top 5% thing.) Where this really excels is when you accidentally stumble across something that looks interesting, but can't read it right now. For example someone may mention something in a HN comment, but you have an appointment in 5 minutes. Or it is the workday. Being able to separate the time of discovery from the time of consumption is a big benefit.

Some other sources are digg (check every 24 hours, they have links to about 20 items and often enough some are good long reads) and on reddit - eg DepthHub and FoodForThought.

I do like that my tablets and phone have Pocket on them, and I can read content anywhere anytime (no connectivity needed, position synced up). Heck I have even done it at a theme park while waiting for rides!
> Why does Apple continue to ignore strain relief on their cabling?

Form > Function
That may be so, but it sounded like you were making a much stronger claim two messages up - as though intent made activity more harmful to the victim (than if no intent were present). That worries me because that way lies thought policing.
The OP shows why replica chargers are not a good idea. You're lucky if it doesn't destroy your machine.

The LED in the Macbook power connector is programmable? Has someone written a tool to make it blink or something?

> these people subscribe to left leaning ideologies.

Might as well call them extreme-left, which is just as bad as extreme-right and the extreme ideologies that come with it. The left / right spectrum aren't polar opposites either, but it tends to be horseshoe-shaped, so you'll find some ideas that are dangerously close to those on the other side (#KillAll(White)Men is literally calling for ethnic / gender purging. Somehow it's not causing as much as an outrage as #KillAllJews would).
I doubt it, since the magnetic connector itself is patented, and they apparently don't license it— which is why the BatteryBox connector is such an awkward hack: https://www.getbatterybox.com/shop
I'm running Ubuntu 15.04 and I haven't tried any of those things. My suspend/resume experience isn't like that blog, though - what happens to me is that I shut the lid, the os "suspends", I open the lid again and get an unresponsive black screen and I have to reboot.

This is almost exactly what I've done to set up my machine: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2301071&p=13382949#... . This thread claimed that the kernel v4.3 fixed this issue, but it still happens for me - I was going to wait until the next 4.4 RC to give it another whirl.
"I really do not know a single state including CA and OR, where gay marriage actually garnered Popular majority."

It's interestingly how strong your opinion is when it could be easily improved upon by just reading wikipedia[3]. Here are states that actually passed SSM by popular referendum:

* Maine [1]

* Washington State[2]

* Maryland

I also disagree with how the Brendon Eich was handled and it's important to have a diversity of views within an organization. Ultimately I think if Eich had been a stronger leader he would have been able to move past the incident, but there were already issues of confidence in his leadership BEFORE the incident happened.[5]

[5] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brendan_Eich#Mozilla

"On March 24, 2014, Eich was promoted to CEO of Mozilla Corporation. Gary Kovacs, John Lilly and Ellen Siminoff resigned from the Mozilla board after the appointment, some expressing disagreements with Eich's strategy and their desire for a CEO with experience in the mobile industry."
You're not really doing Jobs any favors. Instead of saying Jobs was a liar, you're saying he was an ignorant liar.
It takes decades to retool the whole industry. Inventing new forms of energy is just the begining, you have to make those available in wide scale. Whole new industries have to be born and old industries have to be let fade and die.

It is not that the house is on fire right now. It is that we live in a house with no fire alarm and not up to code, but everybody is dragging their feet to fix that because "it has never happened before".

And since you mention EV cars... where do you think the electricity to power them is comming today? What percentage comes from non-reneweable sources? And what percentage of the car market lives near the bigger sources of reneweable sources?
I really hate how weak they made the strain relief. I found mine frayed within a year of use (in and out of bags and often hastily "wrapped up" in exactly the way the device suggests one should by form... but which everyone advises against). So I did what any enterprising hacker would and tore it open to strip and re-solder the connection... only I found super-thick solder points and don't have a strong enough gun to de-solder them.

Ended up just blowing cash on a new brick.

I was rather impressed by how many components they stash away in these things. I just wish the cables themselves were a little more reliable. They're otherwise fine devices.
Have a look at your mobile layout. This looks really bad on an iPhone 6.
Yes, of course Eich's critics had the right to criticize him. The point is that calling for his resignation was grossly disproportionate.
Has nothing to do with intelligence.
This is just a different knowledge domain, and there is shockingly little overlap with a traditional CS education.

Less than a million neurons and Portia's interpreting complex visual scenes and making detailed attack plans.

While "we only use 10% of our brains" is clearly bollocks, the implication that our brains may not be particularly efficient for our level of intelligence doesn't seem too unlikely given the way evolution works - our brain's a crudely scaled-up pile of accidental hacks guided by endless local maxima it can't readily escape from, it'd be very surprising if you couldn't improve on it.

You might draw parallels with modern computers. All these transistors to play with, but we're certainly not using them as well as we could - we're limited by the software we want to run and know how to write using our existing tools.
I agree. It's not that I don't understand that, but you are taking me saying I abuse the car as in I run into stuff and ruin the transmission. In reality I am just saying I drive a little more rough when the car isn't mine. Floor it, slam on break, but never endanger myself of someone else. I don't know, I thought this was the code of the rental car.

I'm going to go with some people are like you, and some people are like me. And the rates reflect the middle and won't change too much. Accidents are random and happen to people that take good care of their cars and people that don't.

They want to censor what might be called secular heresy—anything that questions the reigning "mainstream" (progressive) orthodoxy.
"Liar" is too strong a word here. It's a misconception at best. Jobs would not have known the history of switching power supplies.
Our team was working on a vehicle telmatics platform ( connected cars ). We had a requirement in which the remote engine start time should be within 15 seconds from the time the customer clicked the start button on his phone. For this the QNX running in the vehicle had a fastboot mode , which came up within that timeframe , brought up the interfaces & established network connection to our server and started the car. Once the car is started , the system will go down and come back up in normal boot.

Now I know !

I disagree - a lie is told knowingly. If you say something untrue without knowing it is untrue, it isn't a lie.

From this video i get the impression that Genesis and Playstation was an American product, while the SNES was a Japanese product. This in terms of who handled the marketing etc.
The one thing that perplexes me more than anything is nobody ever thought free speech allows us to monitor the people who have radical ideologies and ideas that threaten our country. When you silence opposition simply because it offends somebody or some group, you lose the opportunity to monitor these people and their ideas.

I want to know if there's skinheads who want to start a race war or the black panther party leader who advocates violence against non-whites. Sure it's offensive to me, but I want to KNOW these people are out there and know what they're thinking.
Normally if I read an article about the men's right movement, it ends up being slightly malicious or dismissive of other movements like feminism. I don't disagree with a lot of their points, but there often seems to be a thread of misogyny just under the surface which makes me less likely to take them seriously.
That exact quote is part of the current problem - dismissal of a serious and concerning issue. Nowadays you'd never see someone going "I was originally going to lump this article in with other "black people's rights movement" stuff", except maybe on the more extremist parts of the internet.
I am working on porting a mostly-data site to hugo now, and it has been a nice experience.

I did find myself wanting to introduce custom logic - like custom helper funcs for the Go templates - but there is no way to do this short of modifying and rebuilding hugo.

Specifically I wanted to use some functions from here: https://github.com/dustin/go-humanize

In the short run, it was fine. Since most of the data is structured I could write a script to modify the input data to prepare for output without modification.

Not sure about hugo's longterm plan for this type of thing, but overall it is an awesome project and would highly recommend over every other static site generator.
I didn't argue that anything was morally unassailable.

That freedom of speech includes freedom of speech criticizing others' speech acts does not mean that all speech is morally equal.

Nor, in any case, was the Hollywood blacklist a speech act; it was a conspiracy in restraint of trade.
Sometimes it's best to be insensitive and offensive.
For what it's worth, that "recent" article is ten years old.
It is well known that extreme physical problems like blindness and paralysis can have purely psychological origins. It is "all in the mind" yet the symptoms are completely real to the patient. Its causes are way more complicated than a cry for attention or other similar utterances of street smart "wisdom".

Odd. I have a 2011 MBP as well and over four years of constant use in school (plugging in the charger at the dorm, unplugging and throwing it into my bag, plugging it in in class, removing, etc. in various places) it's held up. I use it now with my newer Macbook (just needed to get the magsafe 2 adapter dongle).
So what's your explanation for the events described?
Configuration can be a pain. Sane defaults help and smart UIs help not to mention good documentation.

I've been playing with some software over the last week that has wiki for documentation and an active user forum with people willing to help. But it's completely disordered and incredibly hard to discover. Half the battle with usability is making it easy to use and understand.
Not OP, but I read his remark to mean "at the time Prop 8 was passed". To that argument, if that was indeed his intent, I believe he would have been correct.

Post Prop 8, we've seen some massive enlightenment on the subject.
This is a late reply but for posterity readers I was able to learn a lot from this article [1]. I'm still not certain how to interpret the 3rd graph in terms of relative work or cost for the 20% vs 90% enrichment levels.

A good model of real estate development patterns is:

1. A research firm studies a local market [and all real-estate markets are local, that's what makes it real property, i.e. non-fungibility].

2. The information is sold to first movers. Some act on the information and put projects in the pipeline. Local real-estate warms up.

3. It becomes generally disseminated to those lower down the chain. Some act and they put projects in the pipeline. Local real-estate gets hot.

4. First projects come online and do really well. Local real-estate gets white hot.

5. Later projects come online and the market becomes overbuilt. The market cools.

6. Delayed projects fold. The market goes cold.

For Seattle, imagine the market report said that there was demand for 20,000 units. 16 early moving developers look at building 2000 units each. 8 get built and there's still demand for 4000 units.

32 downstream developers look at the demand for 20,000 units and investigate building 2000 units each. 16 proceed, 8 get built and 8 fail and now there is a 12,000 unit surplus and 8 deals being floated. 4 of the deals get bought at pennies on the dollar, two get built and now there are 16,000 surplus units.

In twenty years those will be absorbed and the market will heat up again.

I think a part of her brain got damaged, so it started relying on other neural paths that were still functional.

It's still trying out different paths, hence the different personalities. A new vision-related path is in the works, but not ready for production right now.
And the current anti-men fad the article speaks about is only enforcing that, only extending it with "You're not allowed to have an opinion because you are a (white) (non-transsexual) (straight) man. The SJW movement isn't making the world a better place, it's trying to take political correctness to its extremes, which is its own form of oppression with the side-effects of people in certain demographics becoming afraid to speak up (see article).
That's mentioned pretty early on in this article.
+1 this is pretty much exactly the explanation I got from my psychiatrist relative.
This is a pretty interesting article! I raised more than my fair share of eyebrows by telling people I'm not really surprised with this kind of complexity (note: I'm an EE by formation, I took a frickin' two-semester course on power supplies) but that it doesn't fully justify the price difference.

Also, Jobs was a blatant liar :-). The SMPS in any modern computer is based on a standard topology that Rod Holt -- though a brilliant engineer in his own right -- didn't invent. I don't remember the specific details, but it's based on a flyback design that was certainly well-known at the time.
Yes, there are two great things about it:

1. It's free in PDF by chapter or you can buy it.

2. It has every example in BASIC. Now, BASIC obviously stinks, right? The idea isn't to use the code from the book, but the fact that it's in BASIC means it's been so simplified that you can follow it step-by-step and quickly implement it in your language of choice.
Amen.

I do the same thing; reading on an older Nexus 7. I installed pocket when I first heard of it for this exact ability. Back then it had no recommendations or sharing or whatever. I hardly use those.

It's also very useful for when I am doing cardio on a stationary bike. Makes good use of your time while doing boring cardio work. Of course it doesn't work with anything that requires a lot of focus.
>>check the various articles on animal language decoding. Mice and other animals do say that or similar complexity things.

You aren't stating the solution, you are stating the problem.

You didn't get the point. If all of humanity had limited capabilities to speak and express. Say we could all utter only 3 kinds of sounds namely x,y,z- due to that sheer limitation our language and written systems have to be expressed in permutations and combinations of x, y, z.

That sort of stuff works only for simple things. The moment you start venturing into any complexity, trying to express those concepts in only 3 ways will lead to verbosity and interplay that will blow up beyond practical ability to grasp, given limited resources to interpret them.

And take note if the animal has no means of recording information somewhere and check over time, keeping that level of verbosity in one's brain and workout complex physics is just out of question.
