By your logic, before any investment is made a complete health scan of all founders should be completed, including a mental health assay.

If a founder gets cancer, should they be fired? They're going to have to take time off to get it removed, followed by months if not years of time lost to chemotherapy.

If you replace tumor with baby, and chemotherapy with pediatric appointments, is there any difference?

Anecdote: When I was 13, my father, CEO of a subsidiary of a large Japanese conglomerate, was treated for and cleared of prostate cancer. It runs in my family and killed his father and grandfather. When he returned to work about 4 weeks later, he was fired as the larger corporation had decided that it was too risky to have someone that could get sick be a C level employee. It is what it is?
You've raised questions as if I had made an argument in the opposite. Instead, I asked purely for clarity.

It's always a challenge to resolve the "separate but equal" concepts that arise from a mix of different biologies and desire for egalitarian society. I asked for the clarity because I wanted any such discussions to be directed at the right audiences, in the right context.

Apparently I failed at that, since you felt I was taking a strong position.
This is one example of the pitfalls of making decisions "based on data", as is now the fad. Turns out that your data probably sucks or doesn't measure what you think it does. It's better to not know than to know the wrong thing. A posteriori data analysis can be great, but nothing can beat a priori understanding. Ideally, you should be using your data to get to that understanding, not replace it.
Learning from Tay’s introduction
I disagreed that it 'would be a waste of their time'; not saying they'd act rationally. In my limited experience it seems like they don't.
I wonder if there's enough data to reconstruct the demise of the upper stage. Re-entry physics is extremely interesting and complex. ESA has a number of articles on the analysis of the re-entry of the GOCE satellite [1]. There are a couple of tools that are considered the defacto standards for computing high-altitude re-entry physics like SCARAB and ORSAT [2].

A colleague of mine working in the same EU project as me [3] is developing an open-source tool that can switch between low- and high-fidelity computations [4].

Wonder if any of the observations recorded are valuable to calibrate these models.

FBI: HubSpot scandal involved 'extortion'
Ask HN: Moving to Bay Area from east coast?
After being laid off and having a failed start up, I've been interviewing at companies throughout the US. Most of the interest I've gotten has been in LA and SF, including a couple offers for data scientist positions. I didn't realize how far away I was from the west coast and how long driving there would take. What would you suggest for a cross country trip? Should I take the offer and move? Or just stick to the east coast? One things I'd note is that when I send out my resume, I get a lot of call back from CA companies, but few from midwest or east coast companies.

Any suggestions of moving logistics or an impending tech bubble is also appreciated.
Interesting way of approaching the problem.

I didn't realize the go solution "just" used monte carlo branching. Still impressive, but does not seem as revolutionary as it's been portrayed.

It's just really annoying when it's a government system and it's use is required.

This is slightly off topic, but I recently came across a lawsuit involving German passport and their having a person's name printed IN ALL CAPS. The plaintiff was suing for his right to use lower case characters as that was how his name was spelled correctly vis-a-vis how other families who use the same letters in the same order but with different casing spelt it.

What we need is a "strict mode" HTML. Number of APIs available to web platform is getting out of hand. Using ES6 module system we can clean up the web API landscape.

Here is the idea: you declare your document to be in strict mode:

<!DOCTYPE strict>

In this mode you don't have access to any API unless you import it. You need to import CSS layout systems like regular box model or basic APIs like query selector. You also need to import each html element you use. This way browsers don't have to take into account every possible CSS property or html element when doing layout or painting.

After we got that, then you can import your own implementation of standard modules that is written using APIs introduced by Houdini

Here is an example:

import "html/div"
import "css/flex"
import "dom/query"

How to become a hireable next-generation developer
I once sent a package to Curaçao. I bought postage online from USPS.

The package was delivered to Australia, as my local post office showed me on a printout, and lost forever.

The best I can figure out it, it was because I dared to use the accented 'ç' character in the country's name, and their computers were not able to handle this.
The funny thing about that link is that the original anecdote is far more enlightening than the "koan" it was turned into.
> If not, by what means to propose that we do so?

>> Quite easy really. Whether a person is a danger to society or not, should be determined by a court jury based on his previous actions.

A couple of problems with this solution come to mind. You say that the knowledge that psychiatry produces is invalid because it is non-scientific. The process by which the justice system produces knowledge is decidedly non-scientific and inherently subjective. Why do you hold the knowledge produced by the non-scientific process of justice above the non-scientifically produced knowledge of psychiatry?

Additionally, by the time the justice system gets involved, a crime against society has already occurred. Surely we can do better than waiting for tragedy before intervening?

For a large enough account (>=100k), Wealthfront can buy the individual stocks instead of holding them in an ETF. Right now they only do this for US stocks.

Thanks for all of your insights here, this was very interesting to digest.

I just started reading "A Random Walk Down Wall Street" and it is solid so far. How good of an investing primer would you say it is for a novice? Are there other good books you'd recommend?

Also, I do modeling for advertising as part of my day job, but I've always been curious how much of that analysis/optimization skillset is applicable to trading and risk modeling. Are there any good introductory primers you'd recommend?

Lastly, in The Big Short movie, how accurate is the scene where they first have discussions with Goldman about the bespoke instrument? It looks like the quant sits there listening, the two Goldman folks whisper a bit, and then they say they'll do it under XYZ terms. I'm guessing in real life they'd meet, Goldman would go back and model stuff on their end to determine the terms, then come back with what they'd be willing to do and it wouldn't happen in the span of a conversation like that. Can you shed any light?
Only after reading this did I realize it's NOT citrus. Thanks!
TL;DR: Japanese treat the worst type of job as if their lives depended on them. If I ever see a Japanese tourist with problems, I'll storm the gates of Hell to help them. :-)

I went to Japan for vacation a few years ago. I have some bad allergies so in many small stores (conbini?) I went up to the cashier with some stuff and a machine translated note about my allergies.

The cashier seriously read the content list of everything I brought, then made two piles of things I can eat and things I couldn't eat. Every damn time. We are talking almost a statistical sample here.

That wouldn't happen anywhere else I've been, or even heard about. [Edit: I do claim to know this better than patio11, since he knows the subject area a thousand times better than me. He is too close. Do ask him about why/how, I saw the difference. And yes, I come from a place high on the social trust scale. There is still a big difference.]

Edit 2: About the subject matter of renting friends, buying used underwear, etc. You need to make a difference between common phenomenons and extreme phenomenons in a tens of millins of people area. The tail end of the Bell curve with so many people is weird.
It seems like this has an implicitly libertarian slant that not everyone's going to buy into. If you look at the U.S. Constitution it's more nuanced. The fourth amendment forbids searches without a search warrant. If judges are involved and they're doing their jobs properly then it's okay.

If you're not a libertarian, it matters that law enforcement has to get a search warrant, rather than breaking the encryption and snooping on whatever they want.

Is that your paraphrase or a quotation from a particular translation? I don't think I've seen Plato translated into this kind of colloquial modern English before. It works really well.
No, most other companies are certainly not like that; you may not understand exactly what Amazon can do:

Amazon pays ~2 months after Affiliate fees are earned, so at any given time you may have 2 months of fees waiting to be paid. If today they decide that they're done with their affiliate relationship with you -- for good reason or for no reason -- they can (and do) close your account with no explanation, AND they keep those 2 months of fees you already earned legitimately with no recourse except your suing them (good luck with that).

It's a bit like being a commissioned salesperson, getting fired, and the company keeps all your pending commissions. Totally illegal in that context, but the Affiliate program is not an employer in that way. It still sucks just as much.

A lot of companies warn you if they think you're in violation of their TOS: internet providers, game companies, cell phone companies, on and on. I don't think it's unreasonable to use a 'strikes' system or provide an avenue for appeal.

You misunderstand the attack. You don't need to sample at 1GHz. Each 0 and each 1 in private key material leads to calculations taking thousands of tens of thousands of clock cycles. So you only need to sample EM radiations at around 100 kHz or 1 MHz.
> insist on calling me by my first name, which is not who I am.

As someone who goes by a nickname, I find this to be a feature. If I get a phone call or email addressing me by my legal first name, it's almost certainly a sales call, and I can take appropriate action.
Yeah, my last name has a space in it. For a while, the NY DMV's computer couldn't handle that, so my license had a hyphen in my last name. Talk about insulting.

I've always wanted a super-compact database for storing integers on smaller setups where I don't have the resources to run a dedicated logging server.

I can represent almost everything as an int. Like time, cpu usage, line number, etc. Even just a single byte is enough for most things like which server number or custom error was thrown.

Why use MSVC at all when Clang has a perfectly good gcc-style driver? There's also this http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/automake.git/tree/lib/compi... wrapper script which is useful once in a while for invoking MSVC from inside Cygwin or MSYS (though MSYS2 broke this, last I checked).
Not really. There's much more than just to compile it. There's an init script, a logrotate configuration, etc. The script by the OP is great, I just wish it had the ability to overwrite the bundled version of Nginx as well.
Read the StackOverflow link in the article for an example of how it can happen.

> The actual page still exists and can still be accessed so nobodies freedom of speech is being curtailed...

Google's freedom of speech is being curtailed. I thought I addressed this, but maybe not. Whether you think they're being jerks in exercising that right is entirely beside the point.

> If anything this is giving citizens the freedom of speech to say "I want this to be forgotten..."

A thousand times no. Freedom of speech is the right to literally say/write/etc "please let this be forgotten." You can say that until you're blue in the face and your fingers fall off. What is being discussed here, the government stepping in and forcing that request to be honored, is nothing more or less than censorship at the whim of the individual, or maybe a judge. This is not free speech, it is the exact opposite.

And don't try to tell me, "but I said only legitimate reasons!" That's a fantasy. A legal mechanism like this is 100% guaranteed to be abused. The DMCA is supposed to only be used for legitimate reasons too.

If we get used to Google being muzzled in this manner, eventually it will be common knowledge that you can't get the full truth on Google, so they will go elsewhere. Are you going to start filing "right to be forgotten" requests on everyone who mentions your malpractice suit except the original source? Every search engine, every aggregator built to get around precisely this law? Good luck if someone comes up with a peer-to-peer solution. How long do you really think it will be before someone gets upset that the source document is still available and demands that it be taken down too? Not long, if people start taking the right to be forgotten seriously.

We're already getting used to the idea that our actions have chance of becoming widely known, and that most people have some kind of stupid gaffe in their history. If you let things progress naturally, we'll get more used to it and reach some relatively sane equilibrium. Censorship throws away the chance to reach that point.
I'm not a JS dev, but would it be possible for a malicious actor to create a pre/post install script that looks for packages published by the current user and "worms" its way into those pre/post install scripts?

If this were possible, something like this could have the potential to infect quite a few npm modules.
it seldom makes a difference that only "parts" of the government believe/do what is being discussed

If you believe that, then it doesn't seem like you understand the basic concept of checks and balances very well. The fact that checks and balances can be perverted and subverted and are imperfect doesn't imply they are completely ineffective and irrelevant. The fact that the FBI is fighting in court for the ability to command Apple to hack the iPhone is a perfect example of this. "The government" wants to force Apple. O..K... "the government" isn't going to let "the government" do that. This is a useful way to talk about things to you?
Privacy.com. Don't let them track you. I open it to find a totally blank page asking me to turn on malicious, surveillance-loving, code execution to view ("we promise") good content.

(sighs)

And, to "modern web requires Javascript" critics, modern life expects credit, web surveillance, Facebook, etc. That doesn't mean you have to support or force it on others. Let's look at it really quick to see if a HTML4 w/ CSS site could've handle it. Yep, we did more interesting stuff back in the "DHTML" days (eg dynamicdrive.com). So, it's a privacy site pushing risky, higher-overhead crap on us just for fun. Hypocrites.

Alright, now let's look at the security. I should eliminate stealing a specific card or using malware on the machine to forge transactions. These are main attack vectors. Might mitigate the first. Looks like it will be vulnerable to the second. Admittedly, most methods are vulnerable to the second and those that aren't stay niche due to "inconvenience." So, still could be value in mass market where people get compromised anyway but want to knock out a common attack. The third risk is an unknown with some of the claims looking good on paper but to abstract to evaluate.

Note: The split-keys between employees part on the security page is funny. It's a banking control for sure. I'll just let your imaginations work out how little protection it brings from hackers, management, or the government. ;)

Angular was nice because two way data binding greatly simplified a lot of user-interface management code, and dependency injection made it easier to cleanly factor your code. Unfortunately, the boilerplate involved in creating directives tends to result in monolithic html templates that do way too much (and are hard to maintain), and the digest cycle/dirty checking ends up causing a lot of issues when things get complicated.

React makes it easy to create small components, encouraging maintainable, reusable software. On the flip side, passing data around in your application is a lot of work, and even the best current solution (unidirectional data flow with something like Redux) is very oblique and involves significant boilerplate.

In my opinion the React/Redux model is pretty good, and the libraries are well designed, there is just a need for a good framework to deal with the indirection involved in unidirectional state flow. I'm currently working on something in this space, it just needs some additional battle-testing so I can settle on the interface and work out all the kinks.
