Divorce rates among couples that cohabit ate are actually not much different than among those that don't once controlled for age. My current interpretation is that those that marry older tend to divorce at lower rates, but that's just anecdotal until I look for a study that examined that variable.

That's more or less on the point, more likely that the Saudi's need to liquidate those assets anyhow, it just gives them a way to save face.

It could also be quite likely that the US also just wants to "save face" by passing this bill and the timing is just right for both countries to get what they want/need.

Given the situation between Iran and Saudi Arabia, and the more or less lack implementation of the P5+1 nuclear treaty with Iran I would say that any fallout has less to do with this bill but with something else (that was also mentioned in this article) - potential restrictions on sale of arms to Saudi Arabia (which spent about 100bln this past decade on Arms from US and Canadian companies).

"Last week, two senators introduced a resolution that would put restrictions on American arms sales to Saudi Arabia, which have expanded during the Obama administration."

If these 2 legislatures are part of the same bill (which isn't uncommon due to how hard it is to actually pass a bill in the US these days) that's more likely to be what actually poked the bear or well the more like the camel in this case.
Countries don't have values. Countries have interests. If the US had to wait until every country it dealt with lived up to the same level of democracy and civil rights that it reserves for its own citizens, we would have no allies outside of Europe.
First I was reminded of Uncle Bob's talk on programming language hubris:

it's reference to

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Men_Don't_Eat_Quiche

and how this played out as a sound bite in US popular culture at the same time as the decline in women computer science enrollment began to decline. Being in the high school graduating cohort where the decline began, the decline of women in computing a subject I'm interested in. It's one of those subtle cultural/generational differences between me and my boy.
There is no such thing as a "fair share", you get what you negotiate. You are free to not accept any such contract if you are not content with it.

Yeah the old system was a real pain to use. This one is much better, it just asks you to pick a device to get a code from, it'll pop up and you type the 4 digit code in.

Dating sites and apps might benefit from entering the real world - hosting meetups with games, quizes, etc to make them entertaining.

One of the problems, however, online or with sponsored offline events, is the low number of results. Unlikely to happen, but I'd like to see data on the number of single individuals in a particular city vs how many of them are on a dating app/site. I'd bet the percentage is really low (barring Tinder in major US cities). Not to mention a comment I made the other week here on HN about there needing to be a "def not looking for a hook up" option on an app like Tinder.

Going further, perhaps the solution is an alternative to speed dating - to make dating secondary and having a good time primary. Tinder is "I'll show you the person, you decide what to do next". I'd much rather have a Meetup.com type approach, so to speak. Provide the good time, based on a certain subject, where everyone happens to be single and the male/female ratio isn't skewed. Make the interactions one-on-one, and add to it a comfortable time limit (10-15 min increments) to ensure rotation. With a higher percentage of single people using said apps, and sponsored events like these, I see a win-win.

In the end, I don't necessarily expect a soulmate. Just get way more people using Meetup.com and have single people wear a green sticker on their shirt (place + single indicator + subject I'm interested in).

I think you are confusing values with interest.

EDIT: You seem to edit that part in, well if the US some how manages to strip any interests in the near east then yes they do not have that many strategic interests (outside of trade, research and industry).

However as far as values go the are more or less on the same page, the only difference it's considerably more easy to commit to your values when everyone around you plays by the same rules.
That said the US is probably the worse as far as it comes to actually living by their values of most western nations.

And its completely fine to be the developer who uses pre-made algorithmic block for their specific problem. However you will always be several years behind the current state of art.

For example deep-learning really revolutionized the state of the art in image recognition in 2012 by winning academic competitions. It took about 3-5 years for those deep learning algorithms to get productized into packages like tensorflow, with high production tutorials and videos, so it was accessible to non-academics.

I don't think people that know the underlying principles of machine learning are threatened (Thats sounds like pretty insecure world view on your part). They operate in a different context where you want to push the state of the art in machine learning algorithms, instead of just applying existing best-practices to your specific problem.

First. Seastar & Scylla are really impressive work. Props Avi & team.

Doing disk IO well from userspace is hard. There's obvious topics about durability that have been covered on HN for years. Getting good performance out of modern drives is one of those things that doesn't get covered enough.

Take a prosumer drive like the Samsung 950 Pro (M2 form factor). It can 1GB to 2GB of streaming transfer and anywhere from 100k to 300k iops. All for about $180.

The system (kernel) interfaces and filesystems haven't really kept up. The only async interface is via libaio and the io_submit syscalls. If you ever worked with you know the limitations, it only works with O_DIRECT, has all sorts of requirements on your ops and very few guarantees. Random class / filesystems will just block on submit. XFS probably does the best here (if you have a recent kernel).

Once you went down this rabbit hole you're implementing your own page caching and replacement algorithms. And finally you get to the point where you need to worry about scheduling your IO because if you push down too many ops down to the kernel your response times become unpredictable (see: https://lwn.net/Articles/682582/ [paid till next week]).

Anyways, fascinating work & fascinating write up. Much nicer then another rehash about another async framework that only handles small async network requests.

I've been with my (now) wife for a little over 10 years, but from what I recall of dating, my early/first reactions to someone were not guided by the same factors with the same weights as my later interactions. (Sexual attraction/lust dominates early and intellectual/moral/lifestyle compatibility increases greatly in importance over time, but not in the first few dates.) There may be a way to optimize that process somewhat, if satisfying and enduring relationship is the goal.
There's cost to having bad company. Somehow I feel it will be brushed under a rug inside Dick Cheney's home.
It is in fact physically impossible to fully understand a modern desktop PC. Just the amount of lines of code involved makes it impossible to ever read them all, even if you had them. And that's just the software side. I doubt anyone can fully comprehend in detail everything that happens in a modern CPU, let alone the entire hardware system.

Computers are like cities, they can be managed effectively only by dealing with aggregates and abstractions. It's impossible for someone to know every tile in the sidewalk, but it is possible for them to effectively manage sidewalk repair if they have the right abstractions.
In fact thinking of it as a set frees computing to do things concurrently invisibly.

A lot of other comments here say "ah, but that's just JS iteration still"... but there's really nothing to prevent it being the equivalent of a Go routine... no order implied, no iteration implied, but all the things in the set will have the functions hide() or show() called.
But since this gold, did they actually measure the weight in international troy ounces, then convert (correctly or otherwise) to avoirdupois pounds, then maybe another incorrect or correct conversion to kilograms and metric tonnes?

I think a site like Hotwire for dating could work well. Opposite of tinder. No pictures only a loose physical description + detailed profile that you can search on. Pics come after you choose to share, after a mutual conversation. Have a metric like "95% say pictures reflect description". Award response karma for downvoted personal messages to check quality there. Use data to reduce the clutter of traditional online daring, let emotion choose who you like.
That's also what every European country, and every other country with even the slights political weight does every day.

Awesome site :) I get most of my HN info through the JSON feed. It might be something to implement in the future - I'd be delighted to add it to my script.
I had to look at the blog post http://vpj.github.io/wallapatta.html and particularly the example code with output to the right before I "got it".

It reminds me of Emacs org-mode in terms of the underlying structure and output. On the other hand, I'm not convinced that pytonic semantic white-space is an improvement over org-mode's use of more explicit markup. Maybe it's because for me there's a mental friction between the indentation of a line and it's left justified output.

Good luck.

> overthrowing a place and installing a dictatorship friendly to our interests has repeatedly backfired eventually, so perhaps we should think of different strategies

While I fervently agree with you as a matter of principle, as a practical matter letting the people have their say in government and instigating a popular revolution to overthrow a dictator has backfired spectacularly too on many occasions. Geopolitics is hard.
"If you only knew what I know, you would agree with me."

British Intelligence.

We're still dealing with the fallout of the collapse of that empire.

btw, since I've noted an apparent acceptance on HN of the official story of "Islamic terrorism", let me merely direct the thinking reader to investigate 14 centuries of history of this religion and correlate patterns of behavior. A good and informative data point is the so called "Great Game", and later (in 70s) the amazing syncro-ballet that over night turned Middle Eastern militant groups from following Marx, Lennin, Trotsky, Mao, and uncle Ho into fervent followers of the Prophet of Islam.
OK, not unique in the world, and I know some people think "unique" should be an absolute like "pregnant" – you can't be "fairly pregnant" – but it is much less common compared to vertical or horizontal stripes. And it is unique in Europe according to that list and my memory.
DietPi: Lightweight justice for your single-board computer
If read the wider coverage, it's strongly implied that the comedian in question did it deliberately to challenge the limits of the law in question, so I don't think it's the case that he'd be dreadfully upset if he ended up challenging it in court.

Ironically, he's apparently far more likely to be successfully prosecuted under Germany's regular defamation law which Merkel has no power to intervene in whatsoever. Although judging from the tone of your previous comments I suppose you'll still find a way for that to be Merkel's fault...
Super useful. Thanks.

I have found that the density of content certainly adds to or detracts from the ability to read at a rapid pace.

When I sit down with a Raymond Carver short story, the shorter sentences and clear descriptions allow me to absorb it more quickly and move on.

I tried to read at the same pace with authors like Thomas Pynchon or David Foster Wallace (and Hemingway) and found myself re-reading the same paragraph four times.

For me, it isn't nessecarilly that I want to speed read a novel, it is just that I have trained my brain in other ways to absorb the most crucial aspects of a text/problem quickly and jump ahead (at my own detriment). Thanks college!

Women have less rights than men there. But yeah the real problem is words being thrown around about a nation that still beheads people. That's the real problem and you're okay with emphasizing that problem more the fact that the other issues stated on say Wikipedia about Saudi.
You can have all the self esteem and confidence in the world, but without verbal communication or body language these traits are hard to perceive.

It takes extra effort to not be vapid on Tinder and co, and to recognise that a person's ability to craft a compelling impression out of a few flattering photos and a shred of text is an indicator of a capacity for self-branding and not necessarily much else.

Uh I feel like it's fictional to frame it as if women don't care about physical looks. Just go to a cafe and see who they are paired up with. Rarely do I see huge variance with physical attractiveness between the pair. Or read dating stories on Washington Post's date lab where as a reader you can decipher physical attraction between the participants within first few paragraphs and accurately predict the likelihood of the participants dating a second time.
If you know those sorts of things, it is generally best to stay away from arguments about capabilities. It isn't an argument that works, you're right.
similar topics, at similar settings, in similar order. especially if you remember that speaker for the dead was written first; OSC created EG as a prequel, liked it better, and published first. Speaker for the dead probably comes from card's life experience being a mormon missionary (hint: the piggies are the brown people he went to convert). Ender's Game comes from his life experience reading haldemann.

(OSC is also a weird and outspoken homophobe; easy to see him (a) misunderstanding forever war and (b) liking it for the wrong reasons).

Look, card is clearly the better writer between the two of them. He added a lot. But if you want to put forward war fiction as a case for empathy, it's irresponsible to look at EG before FW.
> "Of course they are going say that they take diversity seriously."

Actually this is what we were also worried about, but we have been in contact with many companies, and not all of them see diversity as a priority. Those companies who take diversity seriously are excited about our mission and want to showcase their company to our users. We have had long conversations with all the companies on our site, and heard what they are doing to support diversity.
But you are right, there is so much more we can do, and we can't wait to go forward with this.
>However you will always be several years behind the current state of art

I agree with your post, but 99.9% of people who will be applying ML via black-box algorithm in the next decade won't be participating in, or at all concerned with, the state-of-the-art. In the same way that most of us aren't concerned about state-of-the-art chip design.

I can do a regression analysis with a couple clicks in excel. I need little knowledge beyond how to interpret results. Sure, the underlying data might violate some assumptions, but it's rare (and there are tools for that). And let's face it, the most popular applications by amateurs will be marketing related, not cancer-curing related.

Having lived in Germany for a few years now, most young Germans acknowledge the nazis as part of the history, and see them as a cautionary tale of how easily extremism can derail an otherwise advanced country.

Any extreme position is therefore regarded with a high degree of skepticism. I think that's pretty healthy.
> 1. how much of the market for Engineers is vc-dependent startups?

Based on my inbox, half the hiring is from startups.

> are the engineers working at startups mostly just entry-level folks?

No. Startup compensation is certainly less cash, but it's also more variable. At better startups, you'll find plenty of senior engineers including ex-BigCo people.

Also keep in mind that for top engineers there's also the competitive option of founding a startup. If funding cools down substantially, then that prospect becomes much less attractive and companies have to worry less about retaining talent.
iPhones are VERY repairable. Source: I run a repair shop and iPhones are most of our business.

You want to talk about phones that are not repairable? Let's talk about ANY HTC phone. They're total crap to repair.

The worst, though, are the cheap MetroPCS and Cricket Android phones--the ones you've probably never heard of but that we get calls about every day, like HTC Desires, Samsung Galaxy Core Primes, and a whole line of tiny LG phones with odd model numbers. THOSE phones are completely unrepairable--not because we can't get the parts, but because the repair, which runs $80 or so to fix a broken screen, is almost twice what it costs to just buy a new phone.

These phones are unabashedly sold to poor and even to homeless people, who then get the choice of desperately trying to continue using them when they inevitably break, or ponying up another $50 to buy a new one. It's a way, way worse model than iPhones, and one the HN community probably isn't familiar with (I didn't know anything about this until I started running a repair store.) It's a pretty disgusting market.
