This, please don't engage in personal attacks on HN, but much, much more importantly, please don't be a partisan fascist. Trump supporters are not your enemy and they are not subhumans incapable of reason. They disagree with you about who we should elect and the direction our country should take, but their voices matter. There is no substantive difference between thinking Trump supporters are mentally deficient and thinking the same of $race or $gender or $nationality.

Really believing in this value is more important to our democracy than who wins the presidency.

Edit: in short, we can all learn something from Linus Torvalds.

The receipts are between the middleman and either party, not between the participants in the transaction directly.

So even if seller and buyer are in Greece, freelancer.com (warning: don't use them) is in Australia. Receipts won't make it to the authorities. Also: freelancer.com won't care if you use a fake identity, as they're extremely scummy and in this case it works to your advantage.
Legitimate question: what is the total cost of labor to publish a book, aside from writing it and physical production? It's hard to imagine it being more than $25k – a quarter-person's salary at $100k/year for editing, typesetting and design. At $5 per book, that's covered by 5000 sales. With ebooks, the rest is pure profit – or could go directly to the author if authors hired publishers to do that work instead of the other way around. The push to revive print books seems like a last ditch effort to preserve a model where the publishers are essential and therefore in control instead of the authors running the show.

Quotas are fine for an enterprise with a decades old sales process that has data to measure. SurveyMonkey was entering a new market and growing the sales force quickly and before they even knew what a reasonable quota was.

You could say that's bad planning, you could also say it's throwing spaghetti at the wall to see which sales person sticks. Data gathering, if you will.
"if people are in the mood for constructive discussion in the first place"

Partially, yes. But even if they are in the mood, an antagonistic first comment can change the mood. Calling a preferred form of government "weak" can easily be seen as antagonistic, and it sets up the initial discussion to be about the correct term, rather than what you want it to be.

This makes repos look cool, but I'm not quite sure what benefit this offers over just using cli git in combination with gitk (for easy visualisation). I like the icon/gravatar thing, but since most people don't use gravatar there is just a lot of "space invaders" and no names unless I click on the commit.

Funny how, at HackerNews, a post with data and intent on progress is still drowned out by useless rhetoric that will never actually make a difference.

> It's often hard for men to understand the societal pressure placed on women to be accommodating and not be rude and how this can be manipulated to constrain female agency in the world.

Sorry, but I'm going to have to call out this statement as sexist. There are also several other strange "facts" being passed around in other comments which are similarly biased. To be clear, I'm not calling you sexist. In fact, I think your comment makes a great point about submission to societal pressures leading to these sorts of problems.

Getting back to the quoted statement, I strongly suspect both genders are equally susceptible to being manipulated by societal pressures. I also don't think men find it hard to understand this. If there's data to show otherwise, I welcome it. In its absence, I believe it more wise to hold this neutral view rather than perpetuating a gender bias.

Let's use Curb Your Enthusiasm as a means to elucidate my argument. The lead character in that show gets into all manner of uncomfortable and disastrous situations as a result of bending to societal pressures; not wanting to be "rude". The lead character is male and I'll bet more guys than not can relate. Perhaps not to the same scale as what is portrayed in the show, because the show is meant to be entertaining, but perhaps more on the level of The Office (US) awkwardness.

So I doubt that societal malleability differs between the genders. You're still right in bringing it up, though, because indeed this habit of not wanting to be rude is clearly a contributing factor to cyberstalking cases. I just don't think it's what leads to a greater number of females being victims versus males.

You're main points are true, but I think you have one thing backwards. We're not finding a way around stupidity, we need to teach machines to perceive things the same way we do.

All of the Piaget conservation illustrations are critical towards understanding bottom up "raw" perception that is untempered by top down logic. I'll actually be more impressed when we can show machines functioning in the same way.
The behavior being described is not what I'd call gullible, but I agree with you that it is unfair to stereotype women with the characteristic.

You're right, and thanks for correcting me.

I do still disagree with the District Attorney's statement. We can write something on a piece of paper and burn it, or think something in our heads, and keep it private. That this is now possible with digital communications via encryption is not a new right, it is simply a new means to protect that right. Further, Apple didn't invent encryption, and this statement further shows how little the DOJ understands about technology.

I'm not sure what the HN crowd finds useful as a group, but I personally use a couple of different techniques in my work (geophysics). One of them is finite difference and finite element methods. I have a book called 'Introduction to Numerical Geodynamic Modeling' by Teras Gerya that teaches finite difference modeling of plate tectonic phenomena, particularly of 2nd order differential equations (Poisson equation and variants) that are useful in modeling heat flow, diffusion and so forth through space and time. It's a great book but written for a specialized audience. I've used finite element models a lot, and the occasional boundary element method, but never written any.

I also use Green's functions, which are equations that describe the response of a medium to an impulse (think the propagation of sound waves from a source, though I do different stuff), by using convolution.

But I think jofer is the only other geophysicist on HN so we're probably not representative. Nonetheless, a lot of HNers have a physics, classical engineering or chemistry background and use similar tools... just not to find out what happened tens of millions of years ago.
I'm involved in an open access book publisher that will publish their first (academic) books this summer. Everything digital & print on demand, and the reviewing and copy editing is mostly done for free by other academics. Professional typesetting though, and I do think they pay someone for helping with editing. All in all, this brings us to a cost of €3000 to €5000 per book.

You're acting like libel just became a problem in the last 5 years. There are good reasons why we don't really have criminal defamation prosecutions anymore. They always involve tons of disputed facts, and they require tons of resources to investigate. Choice of cases is always political.

Let me tell you who is a good candidate for a "cyberstalking" charge. You maintain a database of police involved in questionable shootings. When one of them gets canned from their present department, you track the new PD they're foisted onto, and make sure to let the local BLM chapter know about the bad apple they're about to get, and a lurid description of what you think their crimes are. Why, that sounds worthy of some prosecutorial resources (election year, after all). Aren't you glad you made being mean on the internet a crime?

Get a fucking restraining order. It's ridiculously easy; too easy, in fact, to the point where they're routinely used as leverage in other civil disputes. Violation of restraining orders is a crime. This is a solved problem.
Agreed. One of my most liberal and most intelligent friends told me he was a Trump supporter. And he had a halfway-decent set of reasons for it.

Not the only factor, but one of the factors.
I'm absolutely for more ethical companies (though clearly there is a long road ahead), it's the specific example of Adria Richards, which often generates an endless series of venomous posts, that I object to.

Not to mention the way the case is summarized by parent is, let's say, highly debatable.
I'm not sure what that problem would have been, but an integral part (no pun intended) of DEs is expansions. It's not part of a bag of tricks, it's a very common technique used to solve a problem.
While I didn't exactly enjoy my course taught that way, as a human plugging in those methods manually, it was sort of interesting from the perspective of later being a fairly heavy user of computer algebra systems (CASs). The bag-of-tricks approach they teach in school is really how such systems work in practice, and tons of practical problems will be solved that way, either with you doing it by hand, or using software that does it for you. Software like Maxima, Maple, Mathematica, Sage, etc. consists of a huge pile of case analysis techniques and methods that pattern-match on specific equation forms that can be solved with the method in question. A CAS does feel a bit more satisfying because it feels like the pile of techniques is at least being given some kind of formalization and order, versus me just trying to remember them. Although the amount of order is not quite as much as one might like; even using a CAS there's still a lot poring over documentation to find the function that works in your case, which will go a bit faster if you remember enough of the textbook methods to recognize what you're looking for.

That's not to say this is anything like what mathematicians do, especially PhD mathematics researchers. But a lot of applied mathematics in engineering is not that far off from what's taught in a university ODE class.

Wow. I managed to skip Diff-e-q in my C.S. curriculum, and I always wondered if was the worse for it. Perhaps I was prescient.
Is it weird that when I saw the article title, I thought it was going to be about the NSA?
I recently saw them in a grad eng class, but I agree with the article - from what I saw there is no need to give them the math professor treatment. You can use them as a piece of trivia - ie pde of type x has this set of basis functions - now apply the principles of basis functions to solve your your problem.
> The other type involves solving problems that most interviewees, by shear numbers, can't possibly have seen before. Here, you're testing for on-the-spot thinking, not memorization. This is what I actually see when I interview.

And why do you think this is the best way to test for on-the-spot-thinking? I know I personally need a bit of time to soak in an algorithmic question to arrive at a viable conclusion. I might have some theories or hypotheses at first, but in the context of a 45 minute interview, it's simply testing nothing other than whether or not I've been exposed to this particular problem before. I happen to be great at thinking on the spot when I need to improvise through a problem or debug a problem, but that would fail your metric because you asked the wrong question.

I know this may come as a great surprise to you, but not all questions of a person's abilities can be answered by whether or not they can write a joint scheduling implementation in the amount of time it takes to get through a short lunch.
If Amazon really wanted to twist the knife, they would look into making the first-sale doctrine apply to ebooks. They might have to limit it to Kindle-to-Kindle sales at first, but Amazon would be able to take a cut of every book transfer in perpetuity.

My guess is that it would drive authors into services like Kindle Unlimited, since they would be able to create a long-term income stream unlike physical books or non-transferrable ebooks.
Sounds very familiar. Are you in Seattle?
> How much do you value your favorite authors eating or having health insurance?

I'm not the OP, but seeing as most of my favourite authors are already dead (some have been so for more than a century) I would so: "not so much". The "would someone think of the content creators" mantra kind of works (up to a point) in the music and movie industries, where Taylor Swift doesn't compete against long-time dead J.S. Bach, nor does Star Wars compete against Melies's films, while any new fiction author has to compete against long-time dead authors like Proust, Kafka, Joyce or Ray Bradbury.
We do not have any retention policy settings right now. Messages are kept until you delete the channel they're in.

Our product focus is on making VOIP the best it can for gamers/gaming communities. Definitely not huge enterprises!

However, 7000 member rooms for announcements? No sweat. We've had @everyone notifications targeted at upwards of 20,000+ users at once in a single server. I actually wrote the code that handles that. Lots of streamers, game developers and stuff actually use discord for announcements. One of the bigger ones in my recent memory was the Star Citizen PTU server, the devs used it for chat + announcements.
Makes sense to me. Time heals all wounds, and people tend to want to forgive and get along. In addition, because the author was exposed to this kind of behavior at a young age, I suspect they thought of it as normal. It's hard to know what kind of behavior is right and what kind is wrong when you're young, so you just absorb it from your environment. If you don't see behavior being punished, you'll assume that behavior is normal/acceptable.

SourceTree is a god awful nightmare of a UI and I have found myself having to triple check all the checkboxes present before I do anything lest I manage to hose it up. I would use absolutely no GUI if my option was that or SourceTree. I also hear the latest update has been a real punch to the gut for people as well.

I branch and merge in moments at least a half dozen times a day in Tower. Getting to diffs, creating patches, and viewing changesets are easy and pleasant to look at. It has built I support for a Gitflow workflow so naming conventions and everything allow for one or two clicks to go from no feature branch to a new one.

Frankly, it's just pleasant to use, doesn't screw up my source, and makes it easy to get my code committed and pushed.
Oh, she got specific advice about restraining orders.

The specific advice was, "The point at which a stalker is likely to flip out is the point where it becomes obvious to the stalker that the attention is unwanted and the relationship can never work. There is a real possibility that the act of taking out a restraining order will trigger a murder-suicide."

When you're dealing with insane people, you can't expect a sane response to legal threats.

(And yes, there is a lot more to my anecdote. But not stuff I'll talk about in public.)

I don't remember it being presented that way at all. If it really is a core technique, I would expect it to have been emphasized strongly and the test to have a problem with a different expansion instead of the exact same 2 -> 1/2 + 3/2 problem that he had done in class.
