> experience of visiting IKEA is pretty much as stressful and disorienting here as in Sweden

Weird- I visited an IKEA with four friends and it felt much like a theme park. There was a cafeteria and everything.

Granted, our 5th friend--whiskey--was there too.

A home loan is also paid back over 15 to 30 years. The bailout loans were paid back in under 5 years. Are you familiar with the "time value of money"?
IKEA is owned by former Nazi and famous tax evader Ingvar Kamprad. IKEA is actually a Dutch non-profit(!) foundation. It's part of a very intricate scheme to minimize the tax burden of the owners. IMHO, Kamprad has been exploiting Sweden's good will abroad (and maybe reputation for quality?) but he doesn't give a whole lot back. They do sell good and cheap furniture though. :)
Question: did Goldman have a fiduciary responsibility to it's clients to _not_ sell them securities that they wanted to buy?

It's easy to blame the banks but don't forget that the people who were buying this crap were being paid millions of dollars a year for their "expertise." This is not a boiler-room stealing pensions from little old ladies. This happened in the board-room. The buyers were the one's who failed their fiduciary responsibility to their clients (i.e. the little old ladies who rely on their pension).

The reason pension funds, etc... would buy this crap is because they are underfunded and they need to generate impossible returns to meet their future payouts. We shouldn't give them a free pass on underfunding their liabilities and then blindly taking on extreme risk to make up the shortfall.
It turns out its not that simple. The conditions that allowed the housing bubble to happen were not created overnight. And contrary to popular belief these are highly regulated entities. The truth is that many individuals in government were just as complicit as the MBS desks at banks.

If a bank was prosecuted they would very rightly be able to point out that the GSEs and various agencies set a lot of the loan standards. You might be able to say something about material misrepresentation but a lot of firms buying securities based on these loans were asleep at the wheel. They were telling their investors that they were conducting extensive due diligence on these loans and they weren't really doing any.

If you have ever picked up a derivative contract (I mean the dead tree type) its full of disclaimers and warranties. It is true that the buy-side has become much more engaged when evaluating new financial products.

In the end most of the players were greedy. Politicians wanted to be elected and demanded "affordable housing" and the relaxation of loan standards. Individuals leveraged up and bought properties to make quick money. Investors around the world chased yield and created immense demand for securities. Banks are a flow business and loved the margins on this flow.

Its certainly not as simple as lets go find someone and put them in jail.
Thats way oversimplified. These chip vendors have all supplied source dumps for their drivers. The reason the RPi works so well is all the work they're doing integrating their distributions (Raspbian is particularly good) and upstreaming stuff into the kernel.
Ember FastBoot is a cool project. Glad to see they are close to production ready.

Tom mentions they are leveraging App Cache, which is notoriously hard to work with and will likely be deprecated. That's the scrappy stuff they are doing, comparing it to how jQuery once made the DOM easier to work with.

If a future Ember release was able to abstract the client-side caching between App Cache and ServiceWorker and automatically "upgrade" my apps to use ServiceWorker when available, that's a big win. I'm not sure that's possible though...
> Almost 14% of the cars we service have an eight-cylinder V engine, more commonly known as a V8

Re-write:

About 14% of vehicles we service are powered by V8 engines with two banks of four cylinders in a V arrangement.

The tortured part is that no car enthusiast or anyone in the car business would refer to it that way, and it also doesn't help anyone who is not a car enthusiast understand anything.
What is the reasoning behind only an itemid in the URL for HN?

It's easy to code

Is there an SEO impact?

Probably, but as SEO is search engine optimization, if a site doesn't care about search engines, then it also probably doesn't care about optimization of those searches.
There is nothing magical about NYC. It's just density and transit. Not science-fiction. You can build that stuff anywhere, we just choose not to - to entertain the conservatives who think transit is a social-program and social programs are evil, to the NIMBYs who are terrified of buildings that could cast a shadow in their neighborhood, to car-commuters who refuse to accept that successful cities don't have free parking and fast traffic.
NH is near Boston (lots of medical research going on there). With more more lax business taxes.

> 10 megapixel tiff, per square kilometer. Which I believe is roughly 35MB.

I'm sure they are using a storage medium (at a second level of compression) that provides better space efficiency than that. TIFF supports both lossy and lossless compression through extensions, but for storing source data that is used relatively infrequently (relative being the key term here), it might make sense to use a storage compression geared very heavily for space efficiency. It's not like Google doesn't have the computational power or ability to process in parallel efficiently.
No, that was addressed to tibbon's comment, which I read as him actually having a Facebook account.

What is meant by a keto diet? Something that puts your body in ketosis? If so, how many days a week?

I hear keto bandied about a lot, but not sure a) if everyone's talking about the same thing, b) the difference between it and paleo, and c) if it's actually healthy :)
Well, we'll see. Ta.

Software Engineer @ Caperna | Cambridge, MA | Full Time, permanent, ONSITE, VISA ok

Caperna makes personalized cancer vaccines.

Our therapeutic vaccine will train the immune system to recognize the unique genetics of a patient's cancer cells, and wipe them out. The Caperna Bioinformatics group is building a software pipeline to take Next Generation Sequencing data from a patient’s tumor, predict which mutations in that cancer genome are likely to be seen by the immune system, then design and manufacture a unique vaccine for each patient.

I am looking for a Software Engineer to help us build robust, fully automated, validated pipelines on big genomics datasets. Our codebase is primarily Python, and the technology stack uses Luigi workflows composed of Docker containers running on AWS.

We are a small, fast-moving, independent team fully owned and backed by a larger, well-funded parent company. Perks include great compensation, stock options, catered lunches, and a team of great people.

If you are interested, please contact Jake Feala at jfeala@.com, where is the company name.

Uber assigns “IP to Bermuda, leaving less than 2% revenue taxable"
I've found the easiest way to maintain my macro ratios on Keto is to just drink heavy whipping cream for breakfast - it's almost pure fat, and 1/2 cup is about 400 kcal. It's slightly sweet and has little or no oily taste, so it goes down much easier than coconut oil or butter. Even when I'm adding it to coffee, I prefer it over butter.

For a quick snacky lunch, I love celery and cream cheese or, depending on what mood I'm in, celery and mayo.
All would be great if my Tinder app in California would load Switzerland profiles..
I love the focus on a particular topic or theme. "Reduce code fat!" for example. I've been to far too many general hackathons where the scope was so broad that the productivity of the hackathon itself was minimal, or even zero.
Actually this is quite concise in my opinion though I have few suggestions about each point:

2. With Investopedia maybe ? They have tons of great articles but they lack the fun and living part (which you can compensate!)

3. Like you said, you want to be laser focused on one thing and one thing only : teaching. Maybe you can partner with RobinHood ? Just don't do it yourself.

4. This. I would definitely pay for it.

5. Nope nope nope, as a young platform you want to get people come see you so I suggest maybe organizing some kind of competition where participants have to pay a fee, you take your % and you give the winner(s) the rest.

6. Sponsorship = good. Advertising = bad.
I've been observing that crowd for a very long time.

And have prudently concluded that it's best to assess their ideology based on the actions they've chosen to take (specifically, the political alliances they have formed in the past 20 years, after it became manifestly clear to them that both their platform and their candidates were basically unelectable on their own) -- and the goals they can realistically hope to achieve through these actions -- rather than on the sentimental platitudes they pretend to believe in.

Thanks that was a good summary :-)
hmm we've had a couple of instances so I will look into it! Sorry about that.
I thought this was an interesting article, but it was missing the one thing that made me click on the link; there was no mention of using software to produce vocal performances. Years ago there was a program called "Chant", that was used to produce something like Gregorian chant. Software can do amazing things when generating graphics nowadays, but the synthesis of vocals, either spoken or sung, is nowhere as advanced.
With the tax evaded, we could END hunger, we could END child poverty, we could have universal pre-school, we could pay for state college for everyone.

It is good to keep in mind that society must be balanced between to centers of power: state/political power, and economic power. If the state has complete consolidation of both political and economic power, then you have Russia, China, etc. and corruption at a state level.

If you have economic power control the politicians, you have something close to the US and some other countries where wealthy politicians pick and choose senators and greatly influence outcomes.

Both extremes are bad - a state controlled by the wealthy, and all wealth controlled by the state.

If the wealthy control the state, you have mass poverty, crime, a weak democracy, corruption, etc. If the state controls the wealth it has total power, so you have people disappear if they question it, you have mass starvation, no one to complain towards even if mines are unsafe, etc. In general, states killed 1000x more of their own people than corporations did.

Yep I know, only problem is that you don't get feedback. (At least I didn't, I had 14 hits and no feedback so..) plus this thread have a better visibility/reach.
I just don't think it's a case where "studies show" is all that helpful. You're trying to get insight into a relationship with which you are intimately familiar by looking at aggregate data of people whose relationships are all over the map in various ways. It's like trying to figure out your risk of getting into an accident by looking at statistics for drivers in your age group without taking into account years of experience, propensity for speeding, and so on.
That assumes that all of their profit is earned illegitimately, which at the very least you'd need to argue for.
> I drink Coke Zero, and I like it. I'm sure the sugar full version tastes better, but I've decided that's just not an option for me.

My wife thinks I'm weird, but I hate the taste of regular Coca-Cola. I much prefer Diet Coke.
Yeah, just out of curiosity I looked at what the current deal was, and that might almost be reasonable if a) I were still going to be using it every day and b) there were still a Mac/Linux version. I wouldn't do a subscription deal it just for personal use, but that's a different issue. But 'positioning' is partly a marketing thing. Not having a Mac version clearly separates the product from Indesign for a lot of users.

As a heads up, like the commenter on your blog mentioned, you can write to `/dev/rdisk?` to speed up your transfer. You can also view dd's progress by using pv (available in Homebrew) like: `pv /path/to/image.iso | sudo dd of=/dev/rdisk? bs=?M`

That aside, interesting article. All these new ultra-cheap computers are exciting.
There actually have been a few CS courses taught in Rust. http://rust-class.org/ was a few years back, but http://cis198-2016s.github.io/ is being taught at Penn and http://homepage.cs.uiowa.edu/~achampion/teaching/plc/lecture... is being taught at the University of Iowa _right now_.
SMXs were basic silicon unit being tiled in NVidia's Kepler generation and SMMs are basically the same thing but for Maxwell.

A "warp" is analogous to a hardware thread and you'd have up to 64 of those being scheduled on each SMX or SMM. Each of those SMX/SMMs has four warp schedulers which issue instructions to execution units. In an SMX the schedulers can issue to any of the 192 execution lanes but in an SMM each scheduler has it's own set of execution lanes. If we call a core anything that can independently issue instructions then I guess you'd call an SMX a core but on a SMM each warp scheduler looks like it's own core. But this is all further complicated by the fact that an instruction issued to one lane can be crossed over to a lane that's become idle due to predication. Which is maybe sort of like scheduling but not really.

But yes, you can't compare "CUDA cores" to actual cores and GPUs aren't equivalent to thousands of cores. The GM204 would have 64 core equivalents and most other chips would have less.

These are the best online math notes around. I used them as a textbook replacement for many math classes in college (from Diff EQ to Triple Integrals) and never had a time where it didn't cover something I needed.

Really great resource here.
Yes, but why should that be the case, is the question. I read an article I think was linked here arguing exactly the opposite -- that the less real utility a profession provided the higher the pay and the higher the esteem.
Well, and to be honest, at this point he reads like a delusional paranoid. Not sure what got him there, but he needs help either with the tone or an underlying cause. Needs to bring reason back into the tone and discussion and quit escalating. Whether that involves professional help or a long, quiet vacation somewhere without internet, I hope he does it.

Did you have a bad experience with these? I was thinking of buying either an ODroid or Raspberry Pi 3, now I'm curious to hear what your experiences are.
Obviously revenue is a red herring, but almost a whole year of profit paid in fines seems pretty substantial to me. 35,000 people worked for 9.5 months to earn the money to pay this.

In 2014 they paid an additional $3B. Worth noting that GS played a much smaller role in underwriting the bad loans than the likes of BoA and JPM ($16.6B and $13B settlements), mostly they were vilified for seeing the train wreck coming and helping some investors profit off the implosion.

I think the reality is that the fines are absolutely significant and do change behavior at the banks. It is a typical human response to want to crush them under your boot into oblivion, but I think counter-productive.
Very cool site! I can see this fleshing out to be a very useful aggregator.

I just submitted my bot StatusGator (https://statusgator.com) and I'm wondering more about what that $50 payment would get me if I paid for a quick review. Someone would actually sign up for my service and try it out then post a review on your site?
Well, Marx has more nuanced categories than just wage earners and capitalists. The professional class doesn't have class interests that are identical to those of manual laborers.
Sorry but that sounds like coping.

I've witnessed women ignore a funny guy with a good personality or body for a boring "beta acting" guy with a highly attractive face.
As a conventionally unattractive guy (short, non-white), Tinder has been abysmal for me. Match rate of 2/500 swipes, back when the auto-swipe apps worked. And then most of the most matches were horrifically unattractive. OkCupid produced vastly higher quality matches for me, probably because the profile text and questions let me expand on my personality more. I used the same photos on both profiles. Tinder seems only useful for conventionally attractive men. I have never gotten a Tinder match who was remotely more attractive than me, but I had plenty on OkCupid and a few on Bumble.

Also, regarding the shirtless selfie. It's highly effective for men who have muscles: http://blog.okcupid.com/index.php/the-4-big-myths-of-profile.... This is in line with the old male chestnut "what women say they want is not what they want," women strongly side toward only vocalizing preferences that reflect well upon them.

Based on my understanding of both, learning the new C extensions would be easier than using the intrinsics. Whatever concepts you need to understand the new C extensions (which are limited to type modifiers and a few new control-flow modifiers) you will also need to understand to use the intrinsics.

However, I agree that having another dependency in your build may be more of a problem.
It's true that problems with diverging control flow work better on a number of cores than on a GPU. But by the same token a GPU's SIMT execution model does better with ray tracing than the SIMD units on a CPU. And the article is about targeting SIMD units.
That sounds really good!! Clearly you have the validation part nailed down!! Good luck going forward :)
I feel like there are some confounding factors here beyond just the work itself
Yeah that's a challenging case. ISTM that norms with respect to body image are changing (consider, for instance, the more nuanced responses of the Kardashians to similar situations), but they haven't changed completely yet. Therefore it's wrong that the nude image of a woman is treated differently than the nude image of a man. It's perhaps more wrong that the nude images of celebrities are treated differently by prosecutors than those of humbler folk, but that's a different discussion.

N.B.: Humans often use words in rhetorical rather than literal fashion.
Does that not happen to everyone? I am honestly confused how you can think that makes it coercion.
