I wanted to add a few feature requests so I went looking for god on github. I found god but unfortunately most of the universe has not been open sourced yet :-(

The physicists are trying hard to reverse engineer it though.
Can someone give me a good explanation of how the COO wasn't responsible for this kind of stuff? It's mind boggling to me how hard Sacks is throwing Conrad under the bus, despite possibly being just as guilty.

I mean, I get it - power plays and all. But aren't they both responsible?
An important point is the social conservatism of Singapore, which I suspect plays an important role in repelling a large number of people. I don't think it's a complete coincidence that startup hubs emerge in places that are relatively libertarian in regards to social values and open to counter culture.

Singapore sends a "not welcome here" message to many people: gays, hiv positive, marijuana consumers... As long as the country sticks to dictating citizens and residents how they should behave, including in private, they will have trouble attracting and growing an engineering class.

For a startup culture to emerge, you need to allow, and even welcome, experimentations off the beaten tracks. That's hardly compatible with social authoritarianism.
Looks like there's a correlation with long hours and isolated work environments away from other peer groups.

Doctors for instance are well known for pairing up during the residency grind since it dramatically drops their interactions with anyone outside of their residency program and also occurs during their late 20's. A perfect storm.
Obviously women have agency; it just happens that they choose (in average) similar things. Like money (and fame). Men observe that and learn. And compete with other men to be chosen.

Edit: Ah, forget it. I don't think there's much point in my (second) comment; we're basically saying the same thing with slightly different words.

So in GR the metric itself is warping, which is a problem if you need a background reference/stable metric to define your graviton field? Is that close? Anyway thanks.
Ask HN: Transition from programming to finance
Does anyone here on HN have any experience of transition from a job in tech to a finance position? If so how did you do it?

I am currently a professional software engineer, but the longer i do it the more uninterested in the field i become. I have always been very interested in banking, finance and investing in general, so i am considering making a move in that direction

thanks
Oooh, I'm traveling right now, but I will check those out when I get the chance! Thanks for the suggestions.
What I'm seeing in this link: every image and every paragraph is followed by the same Teleflora banner ad that scrolls open when you scroll past that image or paragraph. At some point an animated Revlon ad also appears which expands to fill the entire page. The sidebar and bottom of just about every page is consumed by ginormous BS "Trending now!" links to "25 celebrities you didn't know posed topless!" and "The weight loss trick that they don't want you to know!" articles on other equally disreputable sites. The page for this article looks like satire, it's so ridiculous and seedy and invasive. I wanted to read the article, I really did.
The top 5 is also a list of professions requiring extensive graduate education. There is a lot of pairing up in medical/dental/law school.
> As for the world’s second major propaganda system, association of socialism with the Soviet Union and its clients serves as a powerful ideological weapon to enforce conformity and obedience to the State capitalist institutions

A lot of historians would strongly disagree with Chomsky here. The leaders of the Soviet Union were true believers who acted as they did to bring about communism. Here's a good interview with one such historian, a professor a Princeton: http://www.hoover.org/research/hoover-fellow-stephen-kotkin-... . I believe the relevant bits are in part 2.

Chomsky is a great linguist, but when it comes to politics, I don't give his views much weight. You only need to look at what his buddy Chavez was doing in Venezuela, while Chomsky was singing his praises among leftist intelligentsia.
"how can we get better at getting people to place deposits online"

I saw your site yesterday, was put off by the fact you're accepting deposits but most of the floorplans are not even available.

Also, wasn't clear to me that these were "production ready". More than saying it, prove it (pictures, videos, etc). I'm not spending 500K on a beta product, that works for software not so much for homes. Even with Tesla's roadster, I had followed for a couple years before they ever sold one to the public. I didn't realize it at the time, but they did a long-term content marketing strategy. They talked about the technology, design, and a lot of teaser content. All that probably pulled in plenty of deposits but over the course of years as people saw the progress they were making and got excited.

On your site - it felt like all I saw were renderings which make me think this is at an experimental stage. Is this house built to last? Will it work in my climate? Could I just hire an architect and replicate the same thing for half the cost? What's the mortgage process like for this? I felt like I had a lot of questions unanswered. I'm not really in the market but like to follow new home solutions.

I think as you get questions from potential buyers, turn that into content to educate your audience. Talk about the materials, technologies, design considerations. I think you've probably done a lot of work that could get people interested, it's a long-term thing and I would think people have to be 100% confident in this product to put a deposit. Which leads to another thought, is a deposit the best CTA? Maybe have them schedule a sales/info call with someone? Ease them into it. Answer their questions.

Edit:
I revisited the site and see that you are leading with a sales call, but on my first visit when I saw "reserve now" and talk of the $10k deposit, I assumed the button was going to ask for my money. Might want to make it more clear that you just want to talk.
I assume you mean this article? http://www.artsatl.com/2016/01/serenbe-rural-studio-artist-r...

Love the homes, have followed their work for some time and would certainly consider for $20K.

You'll notice it was actually $135K to build, not their 20K "aspiration". That would take them to $128/sq ft which is close to our last home which you can find in our news section. We'll be able to offer that at scale, at a net zero performance level next year.

Beyond that, to remake our housing industry, it'll take many different builders and architects offering different products at different sizes and price points. Definitely not a one size fits all market.
Major problem with it going offline, hence this new tool, which may or may not go offline at some point again. I am sure you could build an extension that polls the HN API every couple of seconds or so to check for replies and have it show a popup when you get a notification as well as send an email.

STOP IT: 3 Common Bad Twitter Habits That Are Holding You Back on Twitter
Disagree - GitHub is the Facebook of open source which is good - but its popularity sets the bar low for adding an issue (especially a dupe or something that isn't even a bug) - go try to create a issue for Linux one of the Apache projects not hosted on GitHub (not taking about mirrors) and you will see it is considerably harder - that leads to attrition which leads to less "fake" issues
If you'd like to bring pro-union propaganda to the table, I'll have to bring in some Scholarship and point out that the story was complex and as such more unions may not necessarily be a panacea: While unions did play a role in shortening the American work week to 40 hours, broader forces in the labor market played substantial roles as well, like a rapidly expanding economy, reduced immigration, and electrification. I will refer you to The Shortening of the American Work Week: An Economic and Historical Analysis of Its Context, Causes, and Consequences (Whaples, 1991). http://www.jstor.org/stable/2122588

"The eight-hour day was won during this decade primarily through labor market tightness (wage increases, manufacturing employment expansion, and curtailment of immigration)."
Thanks for that tidbit. I work for a non-profit and sometimes it's hard to make the call when someone is technically sound but doesn't seem to get the mission. So far we've managed to get mission oriented people on board, but I'll make more of a conscious effort in the future.

You are suggesting possible future events that would provide evidence for a multiverse. That does not make something a falsifiable theory.

Analogy: it could happen that tomorrow Jesus Christ descends from the heavens and brings the day of reckoning. That would prove Christianity to be true, but the fact that this could happen does not make Christianity a falsifiable theory.

A falsifiable theory is a theory that predicts something that we can (in theory) measure today (possibly requiring infinite resources etc).

Your second example (which is not a multiverse theory at all) is actually a good example of a falsifiable theory. People have calculated [1] that if spacetime was folded back onto itself at even just a single point, it would leave a distinct signature in the cosmic microwave background. We do not observe this signature, so we are pretty sure spacetime does not fold back onto itself.

> Is there still the idea that you can face your accuser in court?

Yes, you have the right to cross examine the witnesses against you, including, e.g., those testifying as to the when and how the camera was set up and how it (and the video obtained from it) were protected against tampering and other facts relevant to establishing that it was recording where, when, and what the prosecution are claiming it was recording.

> Are we at the point where the camera+recorder is considered a legal proxy for a sworn public official?

No; physical evidence of various kinds has existed for a long time (what kinds are available change over time), but actual witness testimony as to its provenance, etc., remains important.

Because when you have dozens or hundreds of union members, you need stuff to be organized, as in every organisation?

Unions are very differently organized depending on the country, their political leaning (or lack of thereof), their industry...
For instance, it looks like that in the US, the Organizing Model[1] is prevalent, which means that a large workforce has to be employed by the union

From the media, it seems to me that unions in the US are generally less politically organized than in Europe. For instance in France, unions are almost always politicaly leaning in one way or another, from CNT ("anarchist" union), CGT (historically linked to the french Communist Party) and CFTC or FO (historically split from CGT by anti-communist organisations) and going sometimes to the right end of the political spectrum such as Alliance/CFE-CGC (french readers please forgive my broad simplification, I do know that it's much more complicated than my summary...). My limited knowledge of trade unions in Belgium and Spain comes to a similar analysis

However, from how they are portrayed in the media, it seems to me that unions in the US are rather 'trade
based', for instance "the" teachers union, or the truckers unions, etc. In contrast in France a teacher could be affiliated to CGT Education or FO Education (depending on their personnal preferences/political leaning), which are in turn members of a larger "confederation" such as the CGT. In my (very simplified) example, the "teachers CGT" and the "truckers CGT" can and do band together and strike/picket together when an issue impact both teachers and truckers.
In my simplified example, CGT Truckers also strike in support to teachers during large movements.

Is this also a thing in the US? It seems to me that it's not the case?

This seems to be a different thing than just practicing different activities related to the same sport. These are two functionally similar activities which use slightly different muscle patterns to accomplish, so that the trainee is directly applying their knowledge of the first action to the second, but can’t just do the precise same motion.

> “If you make the altered task too different, people do not get the gain we observed during reconsolidation. The modification between sessions needs to be subtle”

A better baseball analogy might be practicing catching line drives then practicing catching popups then practicing catching one-bounce throws then practicing catching a lobbed egg.

Or maybe practicing batting and then practicing golfing and then practicing kendo swings.
Amphibious assaults, particularly against prepared opponents, are perhaps the single most difficult military operation you can contemplate. D-Day, arguably the most well-known such assault, required years of meticulous planning, prior experience with what to do and what not to do (Dieppe), a sophisticated buildup of materiel on UK, complete air and naval superiority, successful sabotaging by the French resistance to hamper German repulsive efforts, and one of the most impressive counterintelligence campaigns in history (Germany was transferring troops to Calais even after the assault started, because they were duped into believing it was merely a feint). Even then, it only barely succeeded.

Germany had absolutely none of those things. Most people arguing alternative history scenarios tend to suggest some way by which the RAF and RN basically cease to exist, and--as this article points out--even then, the plan was so half-baked that it would still have failed. Basically, it would have failed because the German high command had no idea how to do an amphibious invasion, had no preparation for it, had no preparation for how to maintain an invading force after the initial beach was cleared. In addition, the German blitzkrieg tactics masked the fact that Germany had poor logistics capability, which amphibious assaults are the poster child of: you need to carefully orchestrate obscene concentrations of soldiers and materiel in confined space and time (tide) restrictions.
Anecdotal:

The % of people I know who found a LTR that translated into a marriage via online dating is still significantly lower than the people I know who met their eventual mate through friends/meetups/work. I'd guess in my social network, it's 20% from dating apps, 80% from IRL. Granted I'm in the 20s/30s bracket, which may still be on the horizon of the societal shift.

Since Jan 2016, I've tested going to meetups on Meetup.com vs using daily usage of dating apps.

Through Meetup.com meetups, I've found occasional dates but also made friends with incredible people, expanded my social network, and continued with self-improvement. To be engaged in ways that challenge me and to occasionally meet and date accomplished women is something to look forward to every single week.

Comparatively, online dating has been hugely disproportionate when calculating time invested vs. time rewarded. I either write messages that get ignored. Or login into the app to indicate interest in matches that eventually don't result in a date. It feels like really boring and demoralizing work.

I'm not saying people can't be successful with online dating. It's just for me, I don't find it particularly gratifying.

Should we not be using wchar_t strings in modern C?

int main(int argc, char *argv[]) {
wchar_t buf[100];
wprintf(L"Hello, world!\ntype something>");
if (fgetws(buf, 100, stdin))
wprintf(L"You typed '%ls'\n", buf);
if (argv[1]) {
char *s = argv[1];
/* Convert char string to wchar_t string */
size_t len = mbsrtowcs(buf, &s, 99, NULL);
if (len != (size_t)-1) {
buf[len] = 0;
wprintf(L"argv[1] is '%ls'\n", buf);
}
return 0;
}

It's a pain, but the advantage is access to iswalpha() and friends.

You're missing the point. I agree that matching the predictions of experiments (not previous theories--I'm talking about experimental results that match the predictions of GR, not just those predictions themselves) is not a sufficient condition for a theory to be accepted (which is what you are saying); but it is certainly a necessary condition (which is what I was saying).

> Just recall how Kopernik's theory of solar system got accepted. It had worse predictions than Ptolemy's scheme at the time it was introduced

Yes, and it wasn't accepted at the time it was introduced. Actually, Copernicus' theory in its original form was never really "accepted"; what was accepted was Kepler's reformulation using elliptical orbits, based on Brahe's more accurate observations. Kepler's model was more accurate than Ptolemy's, and that was a key factor in its acceptance.

The spirit behind the hatred of the "you must stare at this screen for 52 hours" type requirements isn't that anyone should be able to do anything they want, but that it's a stupid requirement. Acknowledging the existence of a stupid requirement doesn't at all require thinking that all requirements are stupid.

That said, I'd never want to do business with a company that thought it could choose to ignore certain requirements, and deceive regulators about their fulfillment of them, even if they're stupid requirements.

When you make a statement like "(which... he isn't a good one)" it would be good to qualify why. Especially when its objectively clear that the Linux project is probably one of the most successful human enterprises to date.

And when you then continue on to claim that PM's is the panacea that will "fix OSS culture" I feel I have to point out that "OSS culture" is what built the technological world we live in today. And while its not perfect, I respectfully suggest that you don't fuxor with things that are not broken, given that the OSS world's track record of delivering world changing software is unrivalled.
