Yes, horrifying enough to switch to something else (perhaps fastmail). I would also delete all my data from Yahoo. Unfortunately I doubt that deleting it through the UI would guarantee physical removal from their servers.

--EDIT-- upon further consideration, I am just going to switch to something else ASAP. Hoping that Yahoo gets picked up by a responsible party is a risk I am no longer willing to take.

Software Sales Copy That Has Generated Millions of Dollars in Revenue
wasn't Tinder originally named 'Bangs with Friends'?
I've noticed a similar effect between the mid-sized city I live in and when I opened my dating app while visiting SF. The women in SF I matched with seemed "cooler" and were significantly more physically attractive. And in reverse, when I go to the little town in western MD where I grew up, the results are pretty abysmal.

As far as maximizing one's own rating, there are a number of subtle signifiers that can be deployed (though it's unethical to outright lie about yourself) and it helps to not be cliche. And of course, the basic matter of having good photos of oneself. Good lighting, well dressed, taken with a longer focal length than a smartphone camera, etc. (I don't fully understand the effect myself, but longer focal length tends to result in a more flattering photo)
I think OP was worried about ECs in general since they are also a lot quiter on roads compared to ICEs.
What poor writing! I've come to expect way better research and analysis pieces from startups about their domain (think articles like BackBlaze on drives, OKCupid on dating and socio-economics, Google on the web, etc)

The'most unusually popular car by city' was rather poorly described and I think the results reveal that it was not a very proper query, as the 328i is hardly an 'unusual' car by any means (New York)..

The article mentions the extreme loyalty of the Midwest to buying American but makes no mention of the fact that the biggest city in the Midwest (Chicago, obviously) has only 51% American ownership. No mention of age of vehicles, which is very odd.
It's decimal multiplication table. More details in this nature article: http://www.nature.com/news/ancient-times-table-hidden-in-chi...
The data for Romania is completely incorrect or the OP just fucked up his analysis royally. You're talking about a country where the average national wage is just shy of $500 a month (https://www.reinisfischer.com/average-salary-european-union-...) and software engineers are making well over a thousand and sometimes thousands a month. See: http://www.developer.com/daily_news/romanian-developers-earn...

I don't care what numbers or technique he used, it's impossible to come to the conclusion that software engineers in Romania actually make less than the average salary. It's also just plain wrong.
Why do they have to estimate it? Aren't they able to check exact size of their database(s)?

These are often the same people, at different times.

Hello !

If you shall require help with sales at your startup, please do let me know. I don't require anything in return but may not be able to devote a lot of time, but would try to do my best.

I have more than 15 years of hardcore sales experience across 7 different industries, this includes working on my own startups for 52 months.

cheers!
They actually instrument the process of setting up your own personal information 'bubble'? 1984 was 30 years ago, so its probably overdue.
Since this seems like it's going to morph into a thread about FRC... I started and mentored a FIRST team at our local high school this year. It was a great experience, but the thing I keep wondering is if an equivalent experience could be offered for less money? I can already see that this is going to turn into a yearly scramble for money.
That could be a result of selection bias: If women write 5% of the programming articles on HN (because they make up 5% of the group writing such articles) but 100% of the women-in-tech articles (because men don't care about that) you might get that impression even though women write technical articles with the same quality & quantity as their male counterparts.
I watched the Battersea Park race on TV and I can't see it becoming popular - the mid-race car change (which admittedly may well disappear as technology evolves) was laughable and the whole "fan boost"[1] thing made even some of Bernie's more ridiculous suggestions seem sane.

I normally really cringe when I see "TLDR" and "ELI5" all over the comments of every post in places like reddit (where the original piece is thoughtful and well worth a full read), but I am starting to appreciate its role when content has such click-bait titles.
Seconded. Almost every profile I see on Tinder, if there is a profile, explicitly says "not looking for a hookup". (Which is ridiculous to me - how do people expect meaningful connection from just looking at pictures?)

We pay taxes in the US as well :-) Maybe a bit less than in Europe, but we get very little in return (no subsidized daycare, no 30 days of vacation, etc). US tax revenue is mostly spent on maintaining all the 170+ military bases around the world, aircraft carriers, nuclear weapons, etc.
I'm somewhat surprised: this is written in Python.

I wonder what the motivation is here. I've long believed that a lot of security issues could be avoided simply by using higher-level languages, but I haven't seen many major security undertaking done in higher-level languages.
From the down-votes, I gather that people may have missed what I was trying to say. The left-pad discussion generally divided people into 3 general opinions:

1) Use a monolithic library like lodash

2) Use a library for each function (note that lodash can also be used in this way but we are already far off-topic)

3) Inline these small functions.

So a website loading lots of monolithic libraries and using JS for everything is actually the opposite extreme for what caused that drama. If I'm wrong or irrelevant, please tell me how instead of down-voting please because I sincerely don't see how. Thank you.
I agree that ZenCoding has greatly simplified XML development, but I find that even with it you're still beholden to ugliness when trying to edit it.
My favourite line from the Guardian came when they realised that the vast majority of their left-leaning readers strongly disagreed with them regarding Islamic terrorism and the refugee crisis.

Closed comments on certain articles due to “a change in mainstream public opinion and language that we do not wish to see reflected or supported on the site”.[0]

At least they didn't even pretend that it wasn't because the majority of their readership disagreed with them.

I know that "1%" has a nice ring to it, but articles like this that mention "billionaires," "David Cameron," and the "Koch Brothers" aren't talking about 1-in-100, they're talking about 1-in-100,000 or more. The 1% are your small town local doctor and lawyer, and they're not tax dodging on their (nonexistent) huge hordes of cash by moving them out of the country.
> or pedestrians realized they cannot rely on their hearing to monitor traffic at crosswalks.

It's time enough. Unless you are blind, you should look both way before crossing. You shouldn't jaywalk anyway.
To understand the significance, lets start by considering that the top 1% earn about 20% of the total income, and 60% of the lowest earners only have about 4.2% of the total income.

If you remove both those extremes, then average and median becomes somewhat closer to each other.
I agree that "working class" has typically, in the US at least, referred to blue collar workers.

OTOH, as more and more blue collar type jobs are being obsoleted by machines, I think we're coming up upon a more modern definition of working class: those who do not derive profits from their actual value-add.

For example, most other 'professional' type jobs - finance, law, medicine, etc. - typically have a well defined career path where you're used and abused when young, but typically get to share in the profits once you make partner or senior level.

OTOH, most engineers will max out at about $100K-$160K based on location, and will never share in any profits or income. Realize that Google and Facebook are not typical when you consider the millions of engineers working in mostly typical cost-based positions for insurance companies, banks, and other non SV companies.

Obviously, $150K is much better than the other 'service' workers making half that, but we're moving closer and closer to becoming a 'working-class' type profession instead of one that's respected /w regard to both pay and societal treatment.
I wouldn't agree that it's completely normal to send a random person a message on Facebook telling them that they're beautiful. I think most people would find that creepy.

It's not about shielding the public from access to their sources. It's about shielding their sources from the public (or from any interest groups who might wish to retaliate against the sources should they be named individuals).

Traditionally speaking, confidential sources were most often people, and not always documents. Or they were people passing along documents. These people needed protection from those whose interests their leaks would disrupt. And thus, a strict code of confidentiality is often considered to be part of traditional journalistic ethics.

I'm not saying this is always upheld, everywhere. I'm not saying certain unscrupulous publishers won't hide behind or twist this code to their personal benefit. But the code exists, at least ostensibly, for a good reason.

I guess the point of the person you're responding to is that following the article's advice, Kotlin would probably be a better choice than Scala in most cases.

For example, Kotlin doesn't support higher kinded types so if your problem doesn't require highed kinded types, Kotlin would be a better fit than Scala since it's the "Least powerful language that will solve your problem".

Which will probably lead to the controversial claim that "All programs need higher kinds" followed by the realization that the perceived power of a technology is extremely subjective.

> Some of the similarities are insane, like the laser like focus on demographic membership, first impressions, ageism

I don't think demographic membership and age are invalid criteria when trying to find someone to marry and raise children with. Different demographics have different cultures, and different cultures have different ideals of what is good and bad, how to raise children &c. Age is rather pertinent if one wishes to have children. Even if one wishes to marry and not have children, culture fit is pretty important (and age determines a heck of a lot about culture!).

> wailing "there's no good ones left out there" despite obviously living in a sea full of fish.

In both dating & hiring, the issue is not so much that there are no good options, but that sieving the wheat from the chaff is incredibly difficult. In both cases, so far as I can tell, it's an unsolved problem (or possibly it's solved but we don't like the solutions: I've not quite made up my mind).
I'm a Finn and have literally never "done" my taxes. The government mails me a prefilled tax sheet and if it's in order and I don't want to report any extra deductions I don't have to do anything.
I saw Gabe make a presentation at the University of Texas a few years ago, and Yanis was sitting in the front row. Not being an economist myself, I had no good questions for them. And I gather that Gabe was a little annoyed at all the questions around upcoming releases and not the topic of his speech.

In hindsight, I would have asked Yanis if he was overwhelmed by the detail of the data that Valve collects on their market - both the Steam store and the in-game markets. Conventional public economic data would seem to have to be used with caution, as there are people at all levels looking to sway the numbers in different directions (ahh .. politics!), but the Valve data would have been base numbers without any "processing". And there's a lot of it.
On non-English keyboards it is even worse.

> While there is a segment of autodidacts, it's not like people can become expert software developers overnight.

Agreed. Plus, learning in this trade is a job never done. It's not like once you get a foot in the door (and land a job), you're set for life.

> Software developers work longer hours.

I can't speak for the US, but it doesn't seem to be the case in Europe. I live and work in Poland, I kind of know the job market in the UK and Germany.

> And while unemployment may be low in IT, developers do not enjoy job security.

Well, relative job security. Not neccessarily in terms of any single job being safe and granted, but there's a rather slim chance of getting stranded between jobs.
Most consumers won't be the drivers of this. However gaming, workstations, and enthusiast needs will cause enough demand for storage sizes to go up.

Modern AAA games are over 30 GB installed. Applications in general are taking up more and more space locally.

An hour of uncompressed 4k video is approximately 1.72 TB. Photos have also grown in size as resolution has gone up.

I'm sure there are other industries as well. I know personally between my various hobbies, my SSDs are always full and I have several 4TB drives for storage.

How's that? If you go read your data, re-checksum it, and that matches the original checksum, then you have confidence (to the strength of your checksum function) that the data is not corrupted.

A main source of noise are the tires, especially at higher speeds. Electric engines do not help in this regard.
These cars just look like some kind of Formula cars but there are some of important differences:
- first for now all cars are more or less the same (there's no research competition behind motors or aerodynamics like in WEC or F1)
- the race rules are not so meaningful to me: changing cars in the middle of the race doesn't add to the fun, why not doing 2 shorter races?
I see it as a minor low budget futurist racing series to exploit the "electric motors" trend in automotive.

Real investments go to WEC for technology or to F1 for PR and brand strength.

Things might change when teams will have the chance to customize their cars more (mainly motor, batteries)

Edit: they race in very nice locations anyway, that's the only cool thing about the series :p
> Observing someone in public is not a trespass, no matter how much you do it.

That's because it would be stalking.
I would imagine the noise thrown off by tires (tire contact with road) is enough to still present problems for these neighborhoods.
A free Fiber is not viable on the long run. It looks like dumping to me. It looked more like an attempt to kill competitors than a constructive competitive pressure.

However I find 50$ expensive. The most expensive offer in France is Orange for 37€ (42USD) for 100Mbit/s download and 50Mbit/s upload. And with this you get 160 TV channels and unlimited phone calls through the fiber.

I have 1000MBit/s download and 250 Mbit/s upload for 26€ (~30USD), many tv channels and unlimited phone calls and fixed IP address (no IPv6 support yet). This allows to use twitch and publish our games. It also allows to do a backup and restore of my rented server in a snap although I could in theory host it at home.

I'm afraid that US people loose the benefit of much cheaper device prices (Apple, etc) on the cost of monthly fee of the Internet line or mobile phone line.

They seem to have forgotten that the imagery database is calculated at multiple zoom levels. If a country has high rest imagery for the max zoom, it also has scaled down versions of that imagery for all the higher altitude image sets.

For personal taxes, I just fill out the form. It's around a dozen pages including all the enclosures (Anlage N etc). Pretty easy, I don't know why you'd need an advisor or even a fancy software package for that. No idea about corporate taxes though.
Well, you can add bloat by inlining it too, if it's repeated many times. I thought bloat was for unused code loaded as a side effect to code that one actually depends on, for example, as a part of a big library. That makes a huge difference if you are targeting the client side.

I mean, you could also have it as a helper function in your project but that decreases the re-usability to copy-pasting across projects.

In the end, effective or not, I can see it as an attempt on reducing bloat. I see that many don't agree, but I'm afraid they don't take into account the constraints imposed by sending code to the clients rather than a binary.
Reddit gets a material design makeover
Consider becoming a kindle magazine. I subscribe to F+SF and would surely subscribe. Its mainly a convenience feature, magically new issues appear on my tablet as they're released and magically you get a predictable monthly cash flow.

Having read that slide, I can only guess that they were fixing up checksums for the pages they modified in known valid, but wrong ways. In other words, if there's a page on disk containing a timestamp and the test wants to bump the timestamp downwards to see what happens later on, then you need to fix that page's checksum otherwise the test will not do what you wanted.

Of course that means your mutations have to be "fair" in the sense that your new values should still be valid. Because as you stated, just stomping on blocks and fixing up their checksums seems like a silly test.
You have that the wrong way around.

We strongly believe that longer-term relationships are generally better; how often is your first 6 months on the job the most productive? And if you look at successful companies like Apple, Google, and Facebook, they tend to have low turnover among their key people.
Tangential, but I keep thinking that the moment EVs have finally "made" it will be when they can compete in endurance races like 24 Hours of Le Mans against IC vehicles.

The fact these Formula E races are considered quite enough to be run in populated areas is pretty sweet though. I've never attended a Motorsport event before, partly because I'd have to make a big effort to go out of town to watch any, instead of just staying local.
