Your intent is not magic. If your communications are "misinterpreted" then it's your fault for not being specific enough.

Taking me to task for my interpretation (which attributed no SPECIFIC statement but rather an interpretation of your words) is a classic example of trying to use an asymmetric appeal to "civility" as a blind for your mistakes.

So no. If I see you spout stuff I consider to be ableist, and I feel like it, I'm going to hit reply and call your statements ableist and explain why.

That is the nature of this forum, and I'm one of the very few people who actually tries to do these things; so you're not exactly being overwhelmed with recriminations of that sort.
It should have paid as well as organic otherwise there's no business model and it's just a small rebellion that might be abandoned for lack of income.
Also of note regarding SSRIs and pregnancy:

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2015/1...

> A new study provides some of the strongest evidence yet that using an antidepressant like Prozac, Paxil or Zoloft during the final two trimesters of pregnancy may be linked to a higher risk of autism spectrum disorder for the child, but researchers said the results should be interpreted with caution.
How do you know that? Any user supplied text may contain those things.

Which is why, in addition to things like length checks, we use other checks. But length is a quick and easy check for many types of values, and should be supported.

I've been down in the depths of Unicode behavior a time or two. I know what lurks down there, and I know from experience that your "strings should never allow these operations" stance is just as dumb as the more-common "I don't know what Unicode really is" stance. Can length checks and slicing and other operations run into trouble in some corners of Unicode? Sure. But if "this might cause trouble" were grounds for forbidding programmers ever to do something, we wouldn't have computers, any useful software at all, the internet or most of the other things we like and take for granted despite the fact that we occasionally have to fix bugs in it.

Now, get down off your snobby horse and join the rest of the real world, where we know that something might not be guaranteed reliable in all logically-possible cases, but find ways to work with it anyway because in 99.99% (or more) of the cases our code deals with it's good enough.
Actually, the Trezor now supports passphrase-based wallets! https://doc.satoshilabs.com/trezor-user/advanced_settings.ht...

Basically, you can memorize multiple passphrases, each of which leads to a valid set of addresses. If you're under duress, you can provide the passphrase to a dummy wallet that doesn't contain your full balance. As far as the attacker is concerned, they have no idea that a second account even exists.
> The fact they were effectively silenced and ignored is largely because they were few in number.

No, they weren't particularly few in number -- it was lots of economists (they were few in number compared to the whole population, but the universe at issue was economists, not the whole population.)

They were ignored because there was substantial financial interests among the powerful interests resting on the perception that things were going to continue going well, and because the top-line economic indicators (which aren't particularly good leading indicators, in any case) that the mainstream media likes to look to were strong, so there was a PR effort that was in line with what the media was naturally inclined to follow; the warnings from various different directions were an inconvenience for the interests of the powerful and the comfortable narrative of the media.

> I pulled my money out in May of 2007 because I was pretty sure something was going to happen and threw it back in to basically double it...doesn't mean I believe it was abundantly obvious to everyone. The mere fact I could do that demonstrates it wasn't obvious.

Sure, it proves that it the particular impacts and timing of the impending collapse weren't widely expected by market participants. That's not inconsistent with a significant number -- not very few -- predicting an imminent and significant downturn to be driven by the collapse of the housing bubble.
If you want software engineering to be certified by a test, you should be advocating a relevant test. My career predates the web by years and yet I've never needed to know the shear strength of copper or the resonant frequency of an RC circuit to make a server work.
It does not really compare, I guess thats also why its not mentioned.

The whole premise of the paper is that data can be analyzed in situ. That means loading from its original place in the original format without any previous transformations. This is in contrast to the traditional approach of database systems that the data has to be loaded first into a database.

This paper describes a way how unprocessed unindexed data can be efficiently used to answer queries using a database system. The novelty of this approach is mostly that they build a index on the fly that can be reused later and examining the idea of directly using the raw files. For efficient loading of CSV files which is also mentioned in the NoDB paper, I think those details are better described in a later paper from TU München[1] that examines this aspect in more detail.

HDT for RDF or Parquet[2] and ORCFiles[3] in the Big Data space, are (binary) formats where the data is already processed and stored in a more efficient format than plain old text CSV files. Creating these files can already be compared to just loading the data into a database. The only difference that format used for data storage is open and can be used by many systems. So its a completely different setting.

Still its an interesting thought to make databases aware of the indexed information in those file formats besides CSV so that these can also be directly used without loading.

They use a much smaller dose than is used recreationally.

Here's someone who was using 15 g per day: http://www.bbc.co.uk/newsbeat/article/29811499/k-bladder-the...

A therapeutic dose is 5 mg per kg. An average adult would be 80 kg, which gives a dose of 400 mg once every maybe 30 or 60 days.
So that is about $120k/year (salary + shares + bonus / 4), not $180k/year. The signing bonus is one-time and the shares are only worth that much if the stock continues to do well and they stay for 4 years. Most engineers in my experience do not stay 4 years at their first job.

According to Glassdoor, the median combined salary at Google is $166k/year further making the $180k/year for new grads claim ridiculous.

This was my experience and it has worked out really well for me. I've seen a few levels of scale (~120 people to start, ~1500 now), have worked in several different departments and touched nearly every area of the business. Incredible learning opportunities and ability to drive real change/results (which is a main argument for startups) while also having advantages of larger companies in terms of resources, training, pay etc.
Inflammation can fan the flames of depression

"In the health area of psychology at Rice, we're very focused on the intersection of health behavior, psychology and medicine," said Christopher Fagundes, an assistant professor of psychology and co-author of the paper. "One thing that we're particularly interested in is how stress affects the immune system, which in turn affects diseases and mental health outcomes, the focus of this paper."

The authors found that in addition to being linked to numerous physical health issues, including cancer and diabetes, systemic inflammation is linked to mental health issues such as depression.

Among patients suffering from clinical depression, concentrations of two inflammatory markers, CRP and IL-6, were elevated by up to 50 percent.

Fagundes said chronic inflammation is most common in individuals who have experienced stress in their lives, including lower socio-economic status or those who experienced abuse or neglect as children.

Other contributing factors are a high-fat diet and high body mass index.

Thanks for the feedback. Can you elaborate?

We'd like to build something sustainable, and to start that just means building the community. Monetization concerns would be an open question that I think the community could decide on later.

Would love to learn more about what you have in mind.
Not sure why this guardian article is on the front page. Not really news, not really tech. As info-tainment goes the subreddit is way better, thanks for the link.
For some reason I was really anticipating an old timey video of the event.
You obviously don't whitelist google-analytics.com or facebook.net.
Same for Mexican software engineers. Except the difference is more like 13-15x. I just found a job posting for a .NET web dev role for $17k pesos per month, equivalent to $12k dollars per year. Even adjusted for COL, US salaries are a fortune.
You can already use Spark SQL to query files (e.g. CSV, JSON, Parquet) directly on various storage systems without ETL. It doesn't have as much research novelty as NoDB, but it is used in a lot of production data pipelines and ad-hoc analysis on "raw data files".

Yes, senior is mid-level if you look at a ladder. It's usually SWE I, SWE II, Senior, Staff, Senior Staff, Principal, Distinguished, etc. for large companies.

What I meant was that large companies expect all hires to eventually hit senior, give or take 3 - 6 years. If you don't, they have something of an "up or out" approach, where it counts against you in subsequent reviews. However, not everyone is expected to achieve Staff or higher.
Hi, firstly I'm sorry I don't speak English that's my best in writing : I've created Letfeed, new social network. I have found that there is a need for a site which connect the people in easier and faster way, in an open world like this everybody need to know what happen in his country and what people are talking about, also share with them and his voice has to reach to everyone else. but this is not happen at the moment because anybody has to get followers to write to them or he will be alone "like alot of people in twitter, I have read that most of twitter users are not tweeting anything and that's for a reason, the reason is no audience to read what they write so they just spending thier time in twitter in reading news only" it's hard to get followers. but in Letfeed you don't have start from zero and searching for friends. no, from the second you have registered to the site you are already connected with the people in your country so you can see what they are talking about, what the hottest news they are discussing, what they are sharing from photos or videos, see other people's talents, knowing about the new things about any field you are interested in and of course share the things you love with them, so people know about your opinions and thoughts. Also see what people in other countries share and their news. the problem that Letfeed is solving is the reaching of every opinion and voice, letfeed's most important value is to break the walls between the people who are in the same country and let them connect fast. what you want to say, just say it and it will reach to a lot of people so no need for searching for people to follow because they will come to you when you open your country area in a random way or you can searching them ..

When I use total comp, I exclude non-cash benefits, and I think that's the normal use of the phrase. Health care, vision, dental, long-term disability, etc are all excluded.
As the chief complainer about Product Hunt, I appreciate that transparency is out front-and-center, with clear documentation on how your service aims to avoid the same pitfalls.

That being said, it reminds me of another service with the same goals: Ello, who also said they were not going to take venture capital. We know how that turned out.

I mentioned in the threads that a Hacker News/PH competitor may not be better mechanically. There's still a lot of work that needs to be done there, particularly with ranking algorithms.

It's asking for scary permissions:

> Read Tweets from your timeline.

> See who you follow, and follow new people.

> Update your profile.

> Post Tweets for you.

Please, consider adding more options, or explaining how you use those permissions. (For example, you can do what you like to my facebook wall.)

EDIT: Lack of public posting is an interesting choice. It doesn't feel like much of a community. I can see that public comments risks undue negativity or aggressive feedback.
I can't upvote this enough. In the age of Github, if a candidate has an impressive body of work and can "talk the talk", a coding interview is wasteful, potentially misleading and insulting. As soon as enough candidates balk at them, companies will stop doing them.
> It's really, really doable at a large company within 5 years if you hit senior level and live in a metropolitan area.

So Dallas doesn't count as a metropolitan area? I can almost guarantee nobody here is making that kind of money after only five years. In fact, I'm willing to bet that this kind of compensation is extremely rare outside SV, NYC, and possibly Seattle.

In fact, based on what I remember of the salary bands at my former company, it was impossible to reach $250k/year in five years, anywhere in the country.
Each TLD has its own operator. You pay that operator an amount they usually define to have them serve your nameserver records. It's used to pay for the immense volume of DNS requests resolving your domain to your NS and to build a (profitable) company.

Root servers only point to TLDs; they do not collect money or register domains.

California (and certain parts even more so) is an alternate reality where 3 weeks in a coder bootcamp learning to copy-paste from stack overflow entitles you to a job as a 6-figure javascript ninja.

Wow, I'll remember this the next time someone tells me memory allocations can't fail.

Seems like a great design overall, but I'm not sure how I feel about the fixed 512MB limit. That's too high in almost all cases, and too low for a few exceptions (e.g. browsers). Not that I have any suggestions for how to do it better, while still being reliable/predictable.
Agreed. Initially, I canceled the OAuth request because I thought I had missed other options, but really Twitter is the only option. I don't love that it wants to read all of my tweets. Would love to see more integrations (and I'm sure they're coming) :)
You are obviously a Linux desktop user.

From the article "The main reason behind the change was to better support Mac OS X, which is something of second-tier platform for GTK+"

From the perspective of 'UI toolkit for cross platform development' Qt is superior over GTK+. If you want the best Linux desktop toolkit GTK is probably a better choice.
Also of note regarding SSRIs and causing pregnancy:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selective_serotonin_reuptake_i...

> SSRIs can cause various types of sexual dysfunction such as anorgasmia, erectile dysfunction, diminished libido, genital numbness, and sexual anhedonia (pleasureless orgasm). Sexual problems are common with SSRIs. Poor sexual function is also one of the most common reason people stop the medication. Very rarely, these effects persist after discontinuation of the medication.

>It would be sexist if you bought the pink one thinking "She's a girl, she'll prefer pink to blue" because you would be assuming something based solely on her gender.

What if I think "she is a girl, which means that, given I do not know her preference, she is more likely to prefer pink to blue"?

Is using averages sexist/racist/*ist?

Would it be genderist to assume someone who displays all the signs of a guy is a guy?
> Moreover, the pitch that you’ll only need to work for four years is usually untrue.

Definitely, and not just for the reasons stated in the article. I believe it's pretty common for employees to get escalating stock options as they progress in the company. When I first joined my startup as the second engineer hire, I got something like 0.2%, under a four year vesting schedule. After a year I got a bit more, like 0.3%. After another year and a half or so, I was given enough to bring me up to what is currently 1% -- but again, under a four year vesting schedule. Most of my options vest under a four year schedule that started 2 1/2 years into working there.

Is it pretty common for regular engineers to get 1% options right off the bat? I thought it wasn't.
Where did the US enter in to it?
A free market implies that supply and demand are reached naturally without intervention by government: either in fixing prices, setting quotas, or giving special consideration to some firms over others.

The term "free market" does not imply that there are not courts of law or private property rights. Perhaps too many think "anarchy" when they read "free market."
Verisign's some recent financial report's highlights:

1) Verisign ended the third quarter with cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities of $1.9 billion, an increase of $466 million as compared with year-end 2014.

2) Verisign Registry Services added 1.68 million net new names during the third quarter, ending with 135.2 million .com and .net domain names in the domain name base, which represents a 3.4 percent increase over the base at the end of the third quarter in 2014, as calculated including domain names on hold for both periods.

3) In the third quarter, Verisign processed 9.2 million new domain name registrations for .com and .net, as compared to 8.7 million for the same quarter in 2014.

Just the same as google. Organic is what you have. Paid ads on the side or above - for startups who want their company name to remain in the limelight beyond their one day of organic listing.

FWIW I think the name is pretty ordinary. "OpenHunt" just means "copy of ProductHunt" and "open" means nothing except to try to have a position against PH. What you have has no identity of its own.
You should take a look at lobsters. They solve a lot of the transparency issues that some have with HN and ProductHunt.

"Some other link aggregation sites are operated by corporate entities which may have significant financial incentive to censor or artificially promote the links and discussion that relate to those entities, their investments, or their competitors.

It's interesting that Verisign, a private company, controls the authoritative directory of all .com, .net, .tv, .cc, .name top-level domains and that their patents allow them to hold absolute control over the process.

>This is where knowing how these associations came into being could also help you and also help educate others (including your young niece). Several decades ago, the colors promoted were blue for girls and pink for boys.

I'm fully aware this use to be the case. I'm not saying there is some biological reason that the average girl today will prefer pink to blue, only that, as for now, they do, and as such and given no other knowledge of my niece, I should pick the pink one.

I also think I use way too many commas.
Good point. Status seeking will always be with us. I think the relevant question is whether or not that status seeking takes place in the market or in some other social space.

For example, by putting a cap on wages perhaps status-seeking could be redirected to non-market pursuits. I'm not saying that's a good idea, just an example of how policy can be used to redirect behavior away from markets into other areas of production.

And one thing this article leaves out is the problem of non-market policies creating unintended consequences.

It's easy to talk about regulating the market - it's hard to come up with effective policies that don't create results worse than the problems they're attempting to address.
