Even so, you still really have to know the idiomatic phrases, which can be considered as separate semantic units. Just because you know what "follow" and "up" are doesn't mean that you know what it means to "follow up".
Not just mass media.

In Bernays' Propaganda, he describes a new process to sell pianos based on psychoanalysis rather than traditional big-print advertisements.

Essentially, get leading architects to incorporate "music rooms" into their residential designs. Most architects will follow the greats and add music rooms as well. The average homeowner will then walk into the hardware store someday and notice a piano for sale - another Bernays innovation - and think to themselves that the idea to buy a piano was theirs all along. In fact, this all could have been done before the invention of the radio, maybe even the telegraph.

Propaganda itself is neither good nor evil. We must accept that biases and manipulable aspects are a part of all of us. We have to work with them, or ignore them at our peril.

One of Bernays' biggest early arguments pro-propaganda was that if the business and political elite don't figure it out now, someone else down the line will, and they'll use it to take you down. We as a species will have to consider this with every generation until Homo sapiens goes extinct.

How hard would it be to do a demo for jurors in a courtroom? Simple proof-of-concept getting all of them to connect to a "wifi" network which is a tethered device owned by the lawyer, have them navigate to a regular website, and then inject images for the 2nd go-around to introduce reasonable doubt?

Just so we are clear... what countries do you think are doing well?

because i would posit that out of the countries that are economically performing well outside of the united states almost none have: low regulatory environments, easy access to investment cash, entrepreneur culture, freedom of speech, honest elections, a real judiciary, capital protections

if we are going to say we need to focus on empirical evidence then I dont think this elements are as important as you are making them out to be...
Beautiful SOMA.. where your ultra expensive, tiny office comes complete with a group of crack heads sleeping in tents in front of your office doors. If you need some light pre-lunch entertainment watch them drunkenly shout profanities at each other, at you, or sometimes at the sky.

Even the crack heads in SF are high class though. Where else do you see homeless people sleeping in $250 REI tents?

> That's just crushing for people that have done everything right and are trying to save for a downpayment on their first home, for some runway to do a startup, for their children's education, for their retirement, or to help take care of their aging parents. No thanks!

I don't think you really understand what 'crushing' means. A household of two-well employed adults each making, on average, much more than the median person, having to pay 15-20k more is not 'crushing'. A single mother working 2 minimum wage jobs, barely able to afford food, forget health insurance for herself, if she can get it for her children, while social support is being eroded - that's crushing. The millions of homeless people, including millions of children - that's crushing. The kind of ignorance and egoism that comes with living a cushy life, having no problem with walking over the people below you just so that the softness of your condition isn't threatened is amazing.

I actually already wrote this as a reply to another comment, but I think it merits a comment of its own.

The best way to do the scoring for the applications is to actually make it into somewhat of a game. Each application should be given a starting elo of 1200. Every time a user wants to go and review applications they will be presented with two separate applications with a similar elo and then will be asked to vote on which one they think is better. Elo will then be added/subtracted with normal conditions based on the vote. This system would very quickly and accurately identify the best applications. I've seen this done before for other things and it's been proven to be very effective and prevent almost any sort of bias.
Sad! They are also the worst for the environment and most unreliable sources of energy.
Apply HN: Program for Elite Students Before College
Basically the idea is for a curriculum that will be delivered through various means (summer camp program, weekend retreats, high school visits) that is designed for college students interested in BUSINESS in the summer before their freshman year. The curriculum will be designed to greatly increase the likelihood of student success in school, social life, professional career, and personal life. It will cover topics such as study habits, personal training/fitness, how to dress well, productivity habits, networking/presentation skills, career/goal planning, entrepreneurship skills, etc. Much of the value comes from the network created (similar to YC).

There are many technology camps like this (that are really expensive) for really smart kids that are hosted by universities. I believe if you offered a strong programming for students interested in business, a lot of value can be brought to them for spending a few weeks.

While not a billion dollar business, I believe if it were grown beyond just an in person camp for 50 students, substantial profits could be made delivering the product online or through mini camps spread out in different regions.

Let me know what you think.
Tesla already knows of the procedure.
Thing Explainer was a nice experiment.... but that's exactly what it was. An experiment... not to be repeated.

A Massachusetts state legislator has a big idea to ease the urban rent crisis
I have a friend I grew up with in Florida that for some reason developed an extremely thick southern accent (I didn't).

He never finished college but started a machining company making parts for the food industry and has done very well making many times the money I have. He is a reasonably smart guy but most people wouldn't guess it talking to him. He sounds like he stepped directly out of the "Deliverance" movie. I didn't realize how bad it was until I saw him a year or two ago and even though he hasn't lived in the south in years, I swear his accent has gotten worse.

Obviously this would be a huge negative in certain professions in certain locations. But it certainly hasn't prevented him from succeeding. In fact, my theory is that it has helped and this is why the accent has gotten stronger.

His employees are mostly machinist/welder types. No way to say sissy to those guys more than speaking properly without accent. So maybe it give his some credibility with that crowd. He also does high dollar contracts for major companies. I bet more than a few times he has been sized up as "dumb hick we are going to take advantage of" and been severely underestimated in negations. Point being, in some times and places appearing a dumb hick might get one further than talking smart. Not in the software industry in California necessarily. There appearing smart might be more important than actually being smart:)
Trump does not limit himself to anything like the most common 1000 worrds
I am not sure it's actually global. Seems to apply to the basically-useless Metro apps. (For instance, the calc app in W10 is missing key functionality from Win8.)

If it could modify actual W32 apps then it'd be cool.
Grid balancing already has turned out to be way smaller problem than initially expected in Europe.
Very glad to see the global themes make their way up into Desktop from Mobile. Hopefully it may mean more desktop apps with good Dark theme support.
People underestimate how quickly Facebook could be overtaken. Look at Whatsapp and ask yourself what if Facebook hadn't purchased them when they did?

It is inevitable that someday something will fly under the radar or an owner will be unwilling to sell.
Interesting idea, but I think the guidelines should be clarified.

Since it's under the umbrella of the Fellowship, is YC looking for anything well beyond the idea stage?

Also, it would be useful to have some kind of simple submission process after making a post on HN so its easier to track and view all of the applications.
The problem isn't Facebook. The problem is that the community center decided that maintaining a website wasn't worth the cost and/or the effort.
I think it would be nice if you could use only the x most common words and if you want to use any other terms you have to define them. After defining them in the article you could use them freely in that article.
I suspect X servers that worked for the Windows Subsystem for UNIX Applications could be used here too. I will not be surprised to read a report of an old Windows application that is incompatible with Windows 10 running in Wine in Ubuntu on Windows 10. There are bound to be at least a few in this category.

Presumably, audio could be implemented by using a named pipe or network socket talk to an audio daemon too. The work on the Linux side should have already been done by PulseAudio while there seems to be some sort of port for older versions of Windows that might be a starting point for the Windows side:

http://downloads.tomsguide.com/pulseaudio-pulse-audio,0301-1...

If the X server supports GLX (which I read XMing and Cygwin/X support), we might even see 3D Linux games running on Ubuntu on Windows and presumably, people would publish benchmarks for the Linux versions of things like Unigine Oilrush against the Windows versions. I would expect the Linux versions to be at a disadvantage, but a surprise there would be hilarious.
Voronoi Diagrams on the GPU
Then what is your point? manigandham literally adressed your concern; basic demographics, likes, and other sources for content are far better for targeting than what a picture could potentially contain, and that can be done with closer to 100% accuracy since a computer doesn't have to "guess" what the content of an image is, it already knows this content from the text in a status, or the location metadata associated with a post, or the people you're tagged with. This is incredibly inaccurate when compared with all those sources.
I think there is a lot of truth in what you say. Most of our users in our target focus segment ( i.e., people who already play 2hs a day ) feel very confident in learning, practicing, playing/recording songs. Making music is hard after all, requires a lot of dedication. A lot of people aspire to get there, but they are not confident, or know how to get there. That's why lessons are so important in this hobby.

Since our initial focused segment is big enough for us to get traction, we are not currently focused on expanding, but we will do so in the future and asking ourselves/our users the questions you suggest seems to be a good idea.
Is it time to retire from SEO?
Good question. I'm not entirely sure that we will. My is that certain aspects of the system will be distributed for efficiency and security purposes, but we'd need a central authority in charge of the currency, so we don't run into the problem of getting stuck when the economics of the situation would require a hard fork.

I've been learning about cryptocurrencies and the blockchain, but I'm far from an expert. As far as I understand, there are a few big problems with bitcoin that can only be fixed via a hard fork, not the least of which is that there's a cap on the supply of bitcoin, so if you tried to use it as an actual currency, it would be deflationary in nature, much like gold.

I'll look into the alternatives. If you have any links you'd recommend me researching, I'll check them out.
> to me one of the benefits of Uber is being able to get out of the car, and just being done

You can still do that with Lyft. Tipping doesn't involve pulling out a wallet and you can do it in your phone as you rate the driver. I found it nice at least. And only tipped for good service.

One driver didn't get a tip, because they seemed distracted and drove around the same block 4 times saying they were confused about the address -- it seemed like a scam at that point. Eventually I told him to stop and just let me get out.
This is an asinine argument. We live in a globalized world. You could perhaps make this argument if you were living in a closed society like North Korea.

Besides that, you're missing something important about the idea of a free market. Whenever a problem or an issue arises, eventually somebody somewhere will introduce a product or solution that addresses that problem. If the problem is seen as troubling for a significant number of people, enough people will buy that solution/product, which will incentivize more suppliers/producers provide even more of such solutions and products.

Basic economics. No need to write regulation to force companies to build functionality that people do not even want or care much about in the first place. If people are too stupid to look out for themselves, let them be punished for the consequences of their stupidity.
Yeah, currently this is a lisp without lambda or define.
And, to be fair, they would also be deprived of the last shred of choice left in health care. Want a second opinion under that system? Prepare to pay the doctor under the table (at the risk of criminal prosecution), or stand in line until you feel better.

If health care is ever going to be truly available to all, it's going to be through the same means and rules that gave us the iPhone. (Unfettered pioneers are left free to pay high prices at first, then economies of scale bring prices on that new innovation to ever-lower levels. Let me count the ways that is not the case in health care today!)
You ask in another comment whether you are oblivious. Playfully, I respond "Yes, you are oblivious".

Using "shibboleth" as a shibboleth is itself a shibboleth. She's declaring her bona fides (gratuitous Latin is also a shibboleth, especially if highlighted with italics) as a scholar by demonstrating her ability to use an obscure term correctly, and is being gracious to her audience by assuming their comprehension. Switching to "booboo" is intentional, showing consciousness of register.

My background is somewhat similar to hers, although without the parental guidance. Perhaps as a result, my acculturation was less successful. I think this is a brilliant article, and (having read and enjoyed many of your other comments on this site) I encourage you start from the assumption that the author is fully conscious of the tone of this piece.
Another crazy workaround is to mark your wifi as metered in its config. Then Windows will never automatically download the updates at all.

Apply HN: Cadwolf – Intelligent Engineering
www.cadwolf.com

When an engineer/scientist/worker solves a problem, they generally use Excel, Matlab, MathCAD, or python to do their work. They then document their results in Word and email that to their boss. This causes problems in that documentation and analysis almost always get out of sync, and bosses/customers will have a license to check your work.

CADWOLF solves these problems by doing all of these things in the browser. Users create web pages called "documents" and add blocks to the document through a gui. These blocks can be text, tables, plots, equations, etc. Equations solve top to bottom in the document and update in real time.

In short, it replaces all of the above platforms with a web page - with nothing to download or install.

For engineers, the platform does considerably more. Whenever a large structure - like a space vehicle - is built, every part is given a unique number through a part numbering scheme. Our part tree module lets the user create this scheme and then add systems and components to the structure.

This gives us two big functionalities : the ability to query the structure for items like "weight" in real time; and the mathematics will update along with design changes.

What would we do with the grant:

Complete an AWS server side to solve large problems, publicize the site, and begin working on a CAD system to go along with the mathematics. This will be unique in that it will be browser based and linked to a backside mathematical model. As the design changes, the math and the CAD will update as well.

This will drastically reduce the time and manpower it takes to design cars, space vehicles, planes, etc.

The system is in beta now and you can see several videos and demos on the main page.

I'd suspect that the hardpart wouldn't be finding payloads that can surived the G forces but building a rocket that that can. If the rocket could be stored in in-compressible fluid,then the mechanism to eject the rocket from fluid would need to be safe against super high g forces.

Guy Steele's _Growing a Language+ is a much better model than "1000 most common words" https://www.google.com/?#q=growing+a+language
When our CEO told me we were moving to "the cloud," no amount of financial or technical explanation would convince him.

It was entirely about chasing VC dollars and converting CAPEX into OPEX. VCs hate CAPEX, and previous fundraising rounds at our previous venture highlighted our large CAPEX due to millions of dollars of physical hardware as a major turnoff.

So, I retired perfectly good 3-year-old servers that were fully amortized and replaced them with 4x as many instances, and brought up our monthly infrastructure spend by 10X.

10X! But at least now the VCs are happy.
"To use any of these domains, please contact us here" - link doesn't work when I click "here".

I really do not think that is the American dream. If it were, people would have demanded better working rights and benefits by now. The American Dream is to become filthy rich and/or famous.

I don't think it has changed all that much. How many engineers that report to you are near your age or older than you?
Of course being productive is more important, but the OP was asking for advice on how to avoid being fired. My advice was given in the absence of any information on why the OP was fired 3 times previously - while spending the most time in the office won't solve the underlying issues, it might allow the OP to survive long enough to change.

I suspect just looking at gaming news sites would probably be adequate for this stuff. Search for the game, and results come up from Kotaku, CNet, the Verge, Nintendo Life and Reddit, among a ton of others. It's even on Product Hunt.

Heck, why even go that far? Given how often it gets updated, Nintendo's legal team is probably just skimming GoNintendo posts and seeing what 'questionable' projects come up.

So no fancy tech or constant surfing. Just likely some bored guy checking a few gaming sites every few minutes.
Something that’s bothering me is: Is there any way to deploy via `now` with secrets? You know: API keys or the like? `_src` is always public in the free plan and I don’t see any documentation around providing environment variables.

Throw tomatoes, but I am liking what I see from Microsoft these days. Ubuntu on Windows is a big deal to me.
Most of the weirdness comes from Godel's and Lob's theorems, and they don't seem that strange to me anymore.

Here's a little tidbit that might make you more at peace with what's happening. Imagine that you didn't know anything about Godel's results. If you found some theory that proved its own consistency, would that be a reason to trust that theory more? Not at all! Inconsistent theories also happily prove their own consistency (because they prove all sentences). So it seems like Godel's theorems are thwarting a desire that was wrong-headed to begin with.
Honestly, it's really unlikely. The simple truth is that the other major platforms absolutely do this and you can prove they do. I honestly think it's really only a vocal and tiny minority that is genuinely concerned about things like core telemetry being handed back over.

Microsoft's doubling down on this position with their UWP which makes for binary sharing between mobile, tablet and phone. The expectation on Phones (maybe unstated? I'm always surprised we don't hear a single peep from the privacy people on it) is that your apps are sending home telemetry for everything you do. No vendor prevents this, no vendor even really enforces any restrictions on gross EULAs.

And as someone managing multiple mobile apps in the marketplace and doing code commits to one, let me tell you. What users expect is impossible without sufficient telemetry. Our dev tools on mobile are, at best, hacky garbage compared to the great stuff we have on the browser. So all we can do is observe issues in the field.

Unless we can convince the market to substantial raise the price point of software back up to the days when it was $60 in 2005 dollars, people are going to have to accept SOME sort of telemetry and subsidization. We cannot build the apps as cheaply as the market expects otherwise.

I know this isn't your problem, but maybe it should be?
