College today is a total financial scam. 10% of college graduates think Judge Judy is on the supreme court. You pay thousands of dollars for a piece of paper while not really learning anything useful for your life.
I think a better analogy would be if a chef made you a meal and asked if you liked it. He is the expert but your experience about the taste of the meal is still valuable to him.

Testing on your target market is pretty important because you get a "real" example of how usable your product is. For example if you tested your interface on an elderly person (target market) and a UI expert you are going to have considerably different results.
Couldn't help but notice you didn't leave other options beyond "persuasion" and "manipulation"...such as "offering an option for someone to self select." There's also another party absent beyond the people in the discussion, which is the end user exposed to this who likely has an opinion as well.
Yeah. I don't quite know what the article author meant when he said that either. Perusing these two US Treasury tables, I get a distinctly different impression:

I guess it depends on what the meaning of "close" is.
You're mistaken if you assume that going to Howard means they somehow have less experience with diversity than being in Silicon Valley.

Black people, just by virtue of being a minority in America, are exposed to white people and culture at way higher rates than the reverse. In fact, a major point of going to a historically black college is to get a bit of a "break" from the dominant culture.
Even so, why couldn't they be made in some standard form factor? It seems like that would be easier, even for those who want to use the board for their intended use.
Not in the United States. Obamacare made most of this type of thing illegal: only geography, age, and tobacco use are allowable variables, and there are caps on the size of the variation in price.

I ask myself that every day , especially now with a baby coming. 150% inflation in 2015 from January to September. Food and medicine shortages. Huge lines to buy food, diapers, baby formula.

Almost all of my closest friends have already left. I think about leaving every day. I am teaching myself programming and studying for CCNA , thinking that maybe I can get a job somewhere relatively quickly , even though I'm in my mid-thirties and have limited experience in those areas.
Finn is nothing like Jar Jar.

Finn made me smile and root for him every time I saw him on screen. He was awkward at times (hey, not much social interaction since he was a ST from early childhood), but his heart was always in the right place. I smile when I think of his character, and look forward to seeing him in the next part of the story, EVEN if he's not a Jedi.

Jar-Jar makes me cringe when I hear him or look at him move. (That's saying a lot considering how bad the writing was for Anakin, IMO.) Jar Jar's purpose seemed to be the Comic Relief, whereas Finn has a much bigger and better-integrated role.
>it's kind of sad that we're normally discussing the new JS frameworks instead of working on the hard(and important)problems.

Thanks for the feedback, it is very much appreciated.

The near-search is just how it was coded (it's responding to a selection by loading the rows). It is a bit off-putting, though, so I'll change that.

The horizontal scrollbar is the same thing. You can specify how you want the surface (body element) to behave with respect to scrolling, and the I turned off the scrolling.

As for the clicking, that's the "hot" state over "focus" state preference in the UI layer. We're also thinking of changing that: it used to be "focus" over "hot", but it was changed, and I'm not sure that it was a good decision because of what you describe.
The comparison of Rust's errors-by-return-values to Go's is really off-base.

This is why simple position of something as a defacto crime is problematic. Including but not limited to: illegal drugs, terrorism materials, CP, and stolen goods.

I legitimately wonder how common it is to frame someone on a possession charge? In particular if they're socially disadvantaged. Seems almost too easy, buy illegal drugs, plant illegal drugs, call in a "tip" on said illegal drugs. Very hard charge to get out of at that point, since all they have to prove is that you "possessed" them.

The problem is simple carbs and addiction to sugar. Try ween of simple carbs and excess sugar. Veggies and meat / fish. Takes about 6 months to get off and get used not eating or very little amounts of simple carbs and little sugar. Also try intermitting fasting. Works for me. I feel great and workout / cross fit daily with my first meal around 2pm and last meal around 7-8pm
>You may want to add your real address though, as we'll email you when we make Twitter2Email better and/or faster.

I'll be flat honest with you and say I don't care. If I care about an update for anything, you bet I'll be subscribed to their blog's RSS feed (if it even exists) or I'll check in from time to time. I absolutely do not want or need an email cluttering my inbox.

I can also guarantee I can find an email faster if given a username and clever use of Google searches.

For example, searching Google for: "jamasenr + email"

Gives me your first name, last name, and email address as my second result. Time taken? Far less time than the octopus waiting. ;)

There is use in the site for a niche group of people who aren't particularly good with digging up information on people. I was only offering some advice on one way to improve it.

Keybase.io isn't exactly large outside of HN so doesn't particularly add much value. It adds some value but probably not for most people.

From the last Clojure/conj (conference), it definitely seems that Clojure is at, or even past, an inflection point.

I doubt any companies (that are themselves, aside from tech stack, appealing to work for) are having trouble at least getting a lot of interest for Clojure positions.

Loggers are usually local operations. They don't hover above the world choosing the globally best places to operate. They simply go where it's cost effective. If you lower the risk, you lower the cost and the barrier will move.
>And yet, somehow, I still manage to live a modern life of plenty.

This lifestyle works for you precisely because the vast majority of the rest of the market does not live this way. Capitalist economies (where the consumers are individuals rather than one large buyer like the state) require products and services to get public awareness. The best way to achieve public awareness is through paid for mass communication.

If you're in the email marketing business having to create and test email templates, this could actually be a very practical exercise and a team building game at the same time, I think. These bugs are a serious pain point sometimes for folks on deadlines. I could see making a sort of perpetual internal game out of this to make the job more fun and incentivize documenting new bugs found.
It's very prevalent in Mexico too, however it has mainly affected low and middle-low income families, my guess is that due to poor sanitation and the areas where they live (near likes and swamps). What about in India? Because from what I can infer from your comment it seems that is much more widespread over there.

That's not to say that they don't have some other motive for the 90 day expiry, but I don't think they need the support of major CAs for what they're doing at the moment.
This. American freight rail is the marvel of the developed world and the envy of Europe: one of the reasons that recent(ish) government proposals for high-speed passenger rail were dangerous. Ask the Brits: http://www.economist.com/node/16636101

You just don't get to see freight rail in action much unless you're a good bit more blue-collar than the typical HN crowd.
I found that pretty disturbing - right near the start was the claim that Silicon Valley was "too white".

I thought the article was supposed to be about efforts made to empower blacks, but when the writer drops a phrase like that, it's hard to avoid concluding that the efforts are aimed at removing whites.

He could simply have said "not black enough" or "missing black workers" or something similar. Why attack white people?
That would be a tough one to get a simple answer from.

Legally, they could say "no." because the backdoor might legally be a "lawful intercept" or "super-duper debugging thing" or "cheney's naughty dungeon".
That isn't how keyboards work. If a key is assigned to a different keyboard code, then when you push the button the OS will recognise that code regardless of layout configuration.

Norwegian keyboards have a different physical layout meaning different character codes are sent for the same location.

>I doubt even a Republican would be willing to lower corporate income taxes.

I think a lot of people expect some type of future repatriation period that would allow these companies to bring their cash stateside at a reduced tax rate during a short temporary window. It is something the government has done in the past and it probably makes sense to do again sometime soon. I wouldn't want to be the CEO who overpays taxes by billions just because I wasn't patient enough to wait for another one of these tax break windows.

> if you accept that health benefits can outweigh personal freedom, where do you draw the line?

Agreed. I hate using these terms, but the "progressive liberal agenda" that wants to make "HealthCare Free For All" will make your health choices everyone's business.

I'm not paying for your triple bypass surgery, therefor red meat is going to be taxed higher. Etc...etc... Carry it all out to it's logical conclusion and you'll see that soon enough personal freedom won't mean much in a collectivist society and there will be no line to draw.

Very nice landing page, looked at it first on desktop and then on mobile. Was shocked (!) to see that it looked fine on mobile, in both portrait and landscape. Clearly you need

Plus the sign-up was prominent, there is plenty of explanation easily within reach, and the product looks attractive. You need to learn more about obfuscating your value prop :)

Why not say the same to the parent, or yourself then?

The rebuttal was all about sacrificing trees to prevent brain damage to babies which is a false dichotomy. Seems like you don't have a problem with 'extremes' of meaning that don't exist when they support your position.

Do you feel as though your experiences made you better than the OP and so you cringe because of your superior enlightenment? I can't imagine what else you might have in mind, I find nothing particularly cringeworthy in the OP, especially since the whole "paragon of racial enlightenment" bit seems to come entirely from your own head.
It is.

But when you're designing for power users, sometimes it's more worthwhile to trade intuitive design for deeper functionality.

But intuitive design should always be the top priority, IMO - making something less intuitive in order to achieve power-user goals should be the exception, not the rule.

Just my $0.02, and you're free to tell me why I'm wrong. I'm not a designer, I just like using well-designed tools; and more often than not, the best tools behave exactly as you'd expect them to, and communicate intent pretty clearly and intuitively.
> New York City's subway system doesn't attempt to cross over into Jersey or even to the eastern half of Queens.

There are other systems that do, though: PATH (for points immediately across the Hudson), NJTransit (commuter rail to a lot of NJ), LIRR (commuter rail to Long Island & Queens) and MetroNorth (commuter rail to points north in NY and CT).

Given how long it takes to ride the subway to the farther reaches of Queens (e.g., Jamaica), I can't imagine how long it would take to commute to Manhattan via subway from, say, Bayside Queens (which is served by LIRR).

Very true. It changes the perspective a little bit: Instead of worrying about incompatible/incomplete libraries/packages. The application dictates everything all the way down to the VM level, and in a single language.
Defense is a pretty inefficient way to fund R&D. I don't know the numbers but the percentage of the defense budget that actually goes into R&D is probably pretty low.

Seriously? Everyone gets a loan even if they don't understand what it means to get onto such a debt? What a predatory system!

I'm so glad I graduated already. Sucks for my kids though. They have no option BUT to take the loan because EVERYONE will have a college degree in their time and all jobs will set that as baseline requirement.

Fair enough, but then wasn't the idea of icons and folders considered clever at some point in the way you are describing. It seems that the vast majority of design is not better than the current accepted standard, but every so often someone designs something which is good and becomes the new standard. At some point you have to be willing to do something potentially stupid if you have any interest in pushing the boundaries or am I still missing the point you are making?

I think gmail's redesign from a few years ago falls into what you are describing - trying to design something more "modern and clever" which in some way was to the detriment of the users (at least if you were judging by the reception and all the critique). But at the same time if you don't try to maintain a more modern interface I think you risk being left behind, so you have to balance "clever" with "expected" design.
IMHO, a very confusing thing about Linear Regression is that there's widespread disagreement about whether the data are supposed to be Normally Distributed or not, and on how to measure said Normality.
To the contrary. The top 10% in Switzerland make 23% of the income but pay 21% of the taxes. In the U.S. the top 10% makes 33% of the income but pays 45% of the taxes. See: http://gregmankiw.blogspot.com/2011/03/what-nation-has-most-....

The deal breaker for me is the variable name normalization:

userName == user_name == username == uS_eR_aN_mE

It used to be totally case insensitive now it is case sensitive for the first letter. Underscores are ignored: two identifiers are considered equal if the following algorithm returns true:

proc sameIdentifier(a, b: string): bool =
a[0] == b[0] and
a.replace(re"_|–", "").toLower == b.replace(re"_|–", "").toLower

For me it is a capital violation of the "principle of least astonishment".

I'm also an actual investor (but on a very small scale, I'm pretty careful) and that's how it is actually happening.

Except when it isn't and there will be blood (investor blood).

I make a living like doing tech dd, and when a due-diligence needs other expertise I'll be the first to point it out. This works pretty good for investors and technology people alike.

Investors that don't do due diligence at all end up losing their shirt, so that's a pretty good starting point. Just abbreviate the process relative to the amount of money involved, after all, it is a risk mitigation strategy, not a risk erasure strategy (if you don't want risk: don't invest anything just sit on your money and watch it evaporate, every other kind of investment strategy will carry risk to some degree).

Just as two quick comments, confidence intervals != prediction intervals. One gives a range around a true mean value, the other gives a range around where the variable may actually fall (prediction intervals are bigger).

You may also want to mention adjusted R^2 as a measure of quality of the model. I've never heard of AICR before, the standard metrics for quality of the model are AIC/BIC (and sometimes Mallus Cp).

Edit: fixed sloppy wording about confidence interval.
