I think that even if you make them as genderless as possible, people will end up finding a way of assigning a gender to them. Specially in languages that have gendered words. For example in Spanish you'll have to refer to it as "he" or "she" because there's no option for "it" (or at least, not an option good enough without sounding weird).
Good. Competition is what keeps the quality high and prices low.

I have turned all vibrations and sounds off except for phone calls. It has been fantastic, I highly recommend it.
We make much less than that and we saved nearly that much a month saving for our own wedding last year. I don't understand where the money goes with some people.
This. About 6 months ago we had a VP leave to a nearby firm. He was well regarded as a good manager, and has managed to siphon off 8 or 9 of the best people in IT.
Coffee and Business = Success: Here's Why
The more concerning thing is that these words have broadened in definition such that when someone is accused of being prejudiced, people think KKK and not "someone who committed a microaggression". Further, these sensitivities disproportionately affect certain groups; we're very concerned about microaggressions toward certain groups, but hate toward other groups seems to be on the increase.
While I personally use emacs (spacemacs) now, but ReText is pretty decent editor for Linux.

Ah yes, the dream of the free market. Create a product that is successful, only to be driven out of business by a monstrously large corporate entity that can take advantage of economies of scale better than you can. Ignore the fact that the majority of companies cant actually compete with that behavior.
Well, I don't know of any protein folding examples, but it seems a lot like an "autocatalytic cycle" which is an interesting part of origin-of-life theories.

Stuart Kauffman wrote some things about this, but here is a counterpoint from Leslie E Orgel:

This isn't exactly news... This has been happening since we began selling stuff.

I was thinking that Prions remind me of biological Ice-nine and sure enough there's a mention of it in the wikipedia article for Ice-nine:

Ice-nine has been used as a model to explain the infective mechanism of mis-folded proteins called prions which are thought to catalyze the mis-folding of the corresponding normal protein leading to a variety of spongiform encephalopathies such as kuru, scrapie and Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease.

What planet are you living on where a wedding only costs $2,000, and no more than $10,000? In the US, the average wedding cost is $30,000 (http://money.cnn.com/2015/03/12/pf/planning-for-wedding-cost...) now. That being said I personally think that's ridiculous and I'll do my damnedest to try to keep mine under $5k, but I know it won't be easy, and there will have to be many things sacrificed.

If they're even wanting to have a modest wedding with 80-ish guests nowadays, I can't imagine paying less than $15k (which is why I'm going to try to make it less than 20 people for mine. Hell, I'd be happy with 2).

That being said, I wouldn't want to eat out at a $50/person restaurant with a family of four once every week. You could take them to a bbq or pita or chinese restaurant and they'd eat well for under $15 per person.

I don't really disagree with your main point, just your numbers seem to be bad estimates to me.
I haven't heard that. They have a rule that you can't sell items elsewhere for less than you're selling them on Amazon for, but otherwise there's no restrictions.
Could a prion have been the precursor to life? Seems simpler for a protien to accidentally come into existence and start replicating than a string of rna?

Or am I misunderstanding?
Viruses are not alive either, actually. Viruses can only thrive and replicate once they are in a host system. On their own they can do nothing.

I'd encourage you to do more than read an article written by a party with a vested interest, and critically read the linked legal submission.

When reading such a court document, remember it is written by a lawyer (or team of laywers) with the intent (explicit or otherwise) of conflating many ideas.

Creative naming of artefacts, systems, roles, organisations, etc. are all employed to paint a picture - the most vivid, influential, negative picture possible - whilst still being technically factually.

Critical reading of the submission, filtering for technical details suggests that yes, there was indeed integration into existing networks (obviously), and existing databases/systems of record, maybe related to Falun Gong, but frankly the majority of the technical data looks like a description of any intercept network - whether for troubleshooting, traffic analysis, or lawful intercept.

I looked in to Docker on osx, but I am waiting for their latest beta Docker for Mac to come out. I think something like this with a lower learning curve would be more ideal for virtualization. It lowers the feedback loop on experimenting.

Sure, but a fourfold increase in efficiency does not lead to "effectively zero" land area over time, which is what you claimed.

If the problem are the apps, it would be interesting to know whether members of the Open Handset Alliance are prevented from shipping phones with app that would compete with Google services on Android. If there is no such constraint, either I didn't get what Google was charged with or the EU commission is once again full of it.
The law which allows the EU to investigate Google’s alleged anti-competitive behaviour has the requirement of being between 2+ parties (i.e. Google and manufacturer), so that’s why Apple is exempt. I'm not sure if their dominant market share is actually a consideration, but it certainly gets the attention of the EU.
I think one way it is, at least a little, different is Costco is frequently purchasing those products from the original vendor in bulk and handling the packaging / distribution themselves. As a result, $NameBrand is making money on both the branded and generic versions of ProductX.
It's likely that pre-RNA life and prions shared a lot of similarities.

I think being middle-class is all about making choices between giving up luxuries of the body (e.g. resturant food), for luxuries of opportunity (e.g. schooling).

Maybe so, but that definitely didn't used to be the case, which is pretty much the thrust of the article. Its other point is that the scale of the problem is hidden because people are ashamed to talk about it.
I read a ton of books. I happened to do an internship at Intel back in 1999, and there was a senior engineer in the group that published his own book on the subject of stock trading. It was quite an ingenious method he used.

I have read many books since then, but none have had the uniqueness or simplicity as his method has.
Unfortunately this type of behavior is not uncommon with Amazon's business practices. The book "The Everything Store" by Brad Stone was a very good book. But it also shows how Amazon deploys these types of business practices. With the huge market share Amazon has, it has crushed many smaller business just by selling cheaper products. For example, it took a huge loss on selling Diapers just to destroy a competitor. Because it has so many resources, it can do these types of things.
Ask HN: Is it better to centralize authentication at a security service?
https://medium.com/@justinjsmith/hatin-on-microservice-passwords-4f8f0c0143ec#.rmxrg2h9l
Justin's argument is summarized thus "It’s true that a client must still authenticate with the security service, but the security service provides a central place to focus on and to harden. As I mentioned previously, it’s less about how the client authenticates, and more about where the client authenticates". Do you think this argument holds up? It sounds a bit like throwing up our hands and saying that instead of trying to solve the problem we'll just shift responsibility for failure.
Prions are both beautiful and terrifying. One of my favorite science fiction stories is Kim Stanley Robinson's "Aurora". He makes great use of the prion concept, and its consequences for human life, in relation to space exploration. Fascinating read if you're interested in the topic.
Oh man, I wish someone would do something like this in Portland, OR. I'd build an app that calls you every 5 minutes to play the Macarena. :)
Neal Gabler is teaching at Stony Brook Southampton, so I assume he lives there. The high school doesn't seem that bad, dare I even say above average: http://www.usnews.com/education/best-high-schools/new-york/d...

I'm not sure where he might have sent his kids for K - 8. In any event, people generally move out to Long Island suburbs for great schools. He could have just as well made the sacrifice of using that money for private schools instead on a house in a district that met his standards of schooling, which would have had a much lower NPV via a 30 year fixed mortgage than paying for private school annually. Plus, his house would likely have risen more in value.

It sounds to me like the author might just be a tad more financially illiterate than he should be given his lifestyle.

I think A-player managers quit looking for 10x devs like all the B-player and C-players do, but instead they build procedures and systems that get 10x performance out of teams.

My advice for those who want to be 10x devs is that you have to rigorously purge bullshit from your job. If you spend 1/4 of your time in useless meetings and the project is going in circles, you are going to get nowhere no matter how smart you are unless you can break managment of it's stupor or move to another job.
My hypothesis is that increasingly complex building codes makes it increasingly economic to rebuild the same stock of housing multiple times.

It's a bit unusual, what could have increased the workload of architects as design requirements became more complex instead lead to their downfall.

The most terrifying thing about prions is that since they're not reliant on the usual processes for reproduction, they're not susceptible to our usual weapons for dealing with disease (e.g. cooking, antibiotics/antiseptics, vaccines).

From what I can tell. It is using IPTables rules, netfilter queue, IPSet to maintain mapping of client connections to backend servers.

So it seem the kernel is doing most of the work to handle the connection. The load balancer isn't really proxying the connections.
I don't think we're really meant to believe that, it's just we haven't found a way to decide (on a big scale) who we should listen too and who not. Only intelligent people? Only moral people? Only people with money? Only .. I think you get it.

Next you have the problem with "trust those with education" - sounds great, but .. what about those who have education but are paid for a specific point of view? Maybe without us knowing it.

It's the classic "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me"-thing. People get told to listen to <some group> - great! People get mislead by <some group> - shitty. People get to to listen to <some (other) group> - no way. Last time you told me to listen to someone he lied to me!

That's the reason we ended with "one person, one vote" in the first place (and governing is nothing else but constant exchange of opinions). A system where automagically the "best, brightest, morally fittest, etc." would lead would be vastly superior. Unfornately, outside of fairy tales, we have no idea how to do that and instead try to limit the damage one bad apple can do.
I seriously must be doing something wrong, but when I'm doing an interactive rebase, if it stops due to a merge conflict I sometimes find I need to tweak other files, and to add the files to git I find I do the following:

git add $(git diff --name-only)

Am I wrong, or is this the right way of doing this?
>Even there though all it does is move the problem one step away. Most npm packages have dependencies (and quite a few of them), you have no way of knowing whether the author of the main package did the checks you describe for their dependencies...

That's the nice thing: you don't need to. You just need to trust that the main package works well enough -- and you get that from the fact that it is in widespread use (many downloads, watchers, stars, posts, etc).
I very much appreciate your comment. I also don't have a good understanding of the "fútbol" kerfuffle, if it indeed is offensive to some people. But at worst it'd seem to be on a par with folks mockingly pronouncing the name of a Minneapolis-based department store chain as "Tar-ZHAY". Why drop into French 'dialect'? Because you're communicating a point about its relative sophistication using (indeed) a stereotype, but not, I think, a particularly harmful one.

And English has been picking up foreign words (often where there was already a native equivalent) for their concepts and connotations forever. I think there's a distinction to be made between referring to a chic party as a "soirée", or soccer as "fútbol", and switching into a bad Italian accent to describe criminal debauchery.

"if we’re going to organise for a better world, we need to know who we’re organising against"

Most vehemently against UBI are the trade unions. Their existence depends on unemployment being nasty ordeal. If unemployment was OKish, employees would vote with their feet. No unions needed. Next worst is McJobs companies.

Minimum wage making unemployment more prevalent and the employed more comfortable is furthering trade union goals like nothing else. These ideas may look the same, but they are completely opposed.

"how, for example, can we can open all the borders without eventually replacing countries with a global government?"

Nobody can, nor should. Currently somewhat open borders and somewhat good social security is already causing big problems in my country. The easy solution would be UBI for citizens, easy visas for everybody else. Everybody would be better off, except for the people who migrate only to get government benefits. Companies could hire foreign workforce easy, total incoming numbers would stay relatively low, people actually coming from war zones and escaping bullets would find safety.

The immigration fear mongers are against this, because solving this problem would end the justification for their existence. Also the left are against this, because they could not run around calling people "fascist" anymore. And the do-gooders would implode, as small numbers of poor third world citizens would keep on being poor, but now they would do it here! It's so nice to have them out of sight.

Generalising from that study seems unwise.

(a) Hiring faculty is a very different thing (and subject to different rules and policies) than getting students succesfully to graduation.

(b) Unless male economists are uniquely meritocratic there's more at play here than personal bias. It seems more likely that the other subjects have a culture of progressively trying to redress historic gender imbalance. Since those preferences seem to occur at a subject/departmental level it seems even more unwise to try to generalise off the back of them.

(c) If you do want to generalise, there are other more generalisable studies that contradict the results of this one.

To me, the mStand was going a more premium market segment, you know, the "stand Apple forgot to make" kind of thing. The Amazon knockoff looks like shit.
Because Apple builds its own phones and nobody else can use iOS. Google wouldn't be subject to this investigation if it didn't licence Android. If it built its own Nexus phones they would be in the same position Apple is. Instead it's in the position Microsoft was in the 90's.

So the software used was written in 1999 at Audi, designed to be "capable of turning off certain engine functions", for what purpose? Cheating purposes? Testing purposes? Does not say.

I personally find that not really informative, but ok.

Regarding VW:
Everyone living at Germany the last years and following the news heard that same mantra over and over again... "to be the most successful car maker", every end of the year the story was how far behind they were compared to Toyota or in other words: how much closer they came.

Problem is that they were absolutely obsessed with beating their competitors, especially Toyota, at the same time VW relied heavily on the earnings of their premium brands Audi and Porsche, the margins of VW itself were always somewhat thin, especially compared to Toyota.

Too many models, too much variation, they are definitely pursuing now to shift to less models and (even) more modular platforms, but at the same time closing down plants in Germany and shifting to foreign countries will likely not happen. The state of Lower Saxony holds ~20% of the company, VW has repeatedly pledged to "stay a german company" and doesn't want to cut jobs in their home country.

Under those circumstances, competing with Toyota might just have not been possible. VW heavily made its bet on the Diesel Engine, and maybe that was wrong, as they had to cheat to make that bet pay off. VW needs a change in culture, desperately, that is unlikely to happen though. Interesting times to come, I wouldn't bet on VW though... but then again, what somewhat rational thinking person would, I know.
From a user interface standpoint I think centralized authentication is one of the most important things.

Consider an intranet. If you have one password to log into all of your enterprise applications you are going to know how to log in and you will use all those applications.

If you have 20 different applications you use at work and you have 20 different logins, probably some of those services will end up in a state where you have to bug IT people to get a password reset when you ever need to use them. There will be others you just don't use at all, and maybe that suits management because they'd rather you didn't take time off from work anyway. (ex. application you use to claim time off from work)
