My friends who were lifeguards received pretty thorough training, I think.

The certificate takes 6 months of study and includes a full first aid education, as well as water-specific first aid, what does drowning look like, how to swim against a rip tide, how to tow someone who is either dead weight or thrashing or larger than yourself. They have to be able to swim 1 km with a time limit. They have frequent training drills and go for refresher courses every year or two. And the pay is quite a bit better than normal kid jobs pay. Think 10-12 per hour for a grocery store or fast food job, and 17-19 per hour for lifeguarding.

I only know two or three friends who have done it, but they are fairly impressive people, to me. I can't speak for all lifeguards of course, but I always felt pretty happy with the supervision of my 17 year old friend Michelle, for example, when the 6 kids in my care at summer camp were splashing in the lake.
From every sexual.harassment training I've had given by lawyers working in the field, the idea that a change of venue/forum necessarily removes something like this from work-related is absolutely not the case.

I was taught to grab a handful anywhere (excepting the elbow), and pinch hard. Drowning is bad enough without adding a concussion to it, and possibly injuring your own hand.
Or that supposedly intelligent people are able to justify supporting Trump.

I think this goes beyond mere party politics - the man is incompetent and utterly unqualified for the job. I've heard numerous arguments (including in this thread) about Trump being a "wrecking ball" to the political establishment and I think it's telling about the audience of HN. If you were living on the poverty line, depend on government programs or, hell, are Muslim, you might not want to play so fast and loose with the current system. We're lucky that we can afford to risk such an idea.

I wanted to use Rust and learn epoll through working with it directly.

To my knowledge, Rust does not have a std async story. I hope it will, and I believe libs like mio will help flush out platform agnostic ideas and a tested API.

All of your cited example languages are _not_ systems language? Node.js isn't even a language? It could be listed above with the rest of your async I/O options across several languages.

Actually, the prevailing /r/politics groupthink overwhelmingly despises HRC. You'd be forgiven for mistaking /r/politics for a Fox News discussion board were it not for all the Bernie spam. I'm not a Clinton supporter, but I think it's funny how quickly they tossed her under the bus once they caught a whiff of the bern; it's shameless.

You are mistaken. Original classifying authority means that she can classify things herself up to Top Secret. That is how the term is defined.

She can't unilaterally declassify anything so if another agency sent something classified to her, she could not lower the classification.

If something came from one of the intelligence agencies that was Secret or Top Secret, it would not be sent over the open internet to her public email. That would be a security violation on the part of the sender.

Saw that some time ago and by coincidence I had a girl almost drowing in a pool a couple month later. Was too far to help but managed to draw a lifeguard attention to her (it was one of those wery crowded wavey pools).

That gamified training website should be spread to everyone and possibly even part of some high school collateral.
Just thinking about this terrifies me...

When I was 18 I was effectively drowning at sea after (stupidly) swimming out to a bouy (100m from shore) with my friends. I had a panic attack on the way back for some reason and immediately lost control of my movement and voice -- I basically went into autopilot, though I was aware of what was happening. I thought I was flailing around but in hindsight I think I must have looked quite calm above the water, with my arms and legs moving like crazy under the water. In reality I was doing something akin to doggy-paddle, swallowing water in vast amounts and barely catching a breath. I couldn't raise my arms to wave for help and I tried screaming to my friends who I could see 20m or so in front of me. In my head I was screaming as loud as I could but all that came out of my mouth was a barely audible squeak. Somehow I managed to finally get out a cry for help between gulps of water and one of my friends turned round to come and get me. Even when he finally reached me I still wasn't safe as I had zero control over my limbs so he basically had to swim with my body weight and his combined, 50m or so back to the shore. I remember a couple of moments where he said that I was dragging him under and I was petrified that we wouldn't be able to make it back together (at this point no one else know what was happening). Fortunately he's a very strong swimmer and we made it back without any physical damage. I was so exhausted that I couldn't walk for quite some time afterward, nor speak much really.

It remains the single most frightening moment of my life by far and I am 100% certain that I would have died that day had my friend not have turned around to see what I was doing. I've never swum in the sea since out of a combination of respect and pure fear of what can happen. I am ok with enclosed pools though as I'm comfortable knowing that I have something nearby to hold onto and other people around to notice things.

If you feel uncomfortable with a swim at sea then just don't do it. It's not worth it!

It seems like communicating this approach to the community might be helpful for some. The poster's perspective is not unique (see the links in this thread). An evolution from benevolent dictatorship to democracy has advantages and precedent. Communicating with the community these intentions is important and a sign of respect and maturity. I think in itself it would be stabilizing.

I am not sure of a specific site that would include all data, but an avenue you may explore is government open data or scraping tax records for each state. For example, in Maryland you can search the property records for every house. It will show you all sales, name/purchase price, since the property was built. I am not sure if there is an API or what their terms are specifically. I do know other states offer similar services as well. Some offer it statewide, and others have county specific sites (i.e. in Delaware each county has their own website with the records).

The Maryland site is:

foodpanda | Berlin | ONSITE | Full-time

We're an established food-delivery start-up with strong funding (http://techcrunch.com/2015/04/30/please-sir/), established presence in a number of countries and we're focused on technology and automation to be the key elements to our further success.

We are looking for engineers for our logistics dispatching platform. We take an algorithmic approach for fully automated dispatching. Math/stats skills are also welcome.

The platform is simple modern Java 8 and Node.js microservice architecture, we heavily rely on AWS to scale for our strong daily peaks and use much of the tools available in AWS. The team is a fully self-managed devops team taking decisions about everything from infrastructure to front-end.

Interview over Skype or in person if located in Berlin, quick two-round process discussing past experience, explaining the new project, doing a bit of open-ended coding together.

`Time.every second Tick` returns a time-varying value it doesn't call a side-effecting callback. It generates a filtered event emitter if you will. Semantically it has almost no relation to your JS version, aside from both being function calls.
I have been learning some haskell, maybe I will dabble in elm. Watched a talk by Evan and was blown away by time-based sophistication.
I’m not sure what you mean by "not distributed". With kdb+ you have a lot of flexibility in how to setup the database. You can organize the data to be stored in a distributed fashion (across multiple devices, multiple servers), you can setup query load balancers to distribute work-loads, and you can replicate to multiple servers/devices. You don’t have to use K, you code in q, which most people find far easier to read/write. There’s a wealth of information to help with all this[1], and a very responsive user group.

But yes, you do need kdb+ expertise to get full use out of the tool. And yes, feelings seem to run strong towards kdb+, in both directions, love/hate it. And correct again, it’s not free and the licensing cost is definitely a hurdle to wider adoption.

"I'd prefer almost anybody over Trump -- that Clinton may have broken federal laws is just another bullet point"

Why? You want another lawyer as president?

Think of Trump as what he is: a businessman becoming intimately familiar with national politics for the first time. He's being brought up to speed on almost every social topic under the sun. He doesn't have the lifetime of bias that most politicians have (e.g., 20 years of working in the House, Senate, or some federal bureaucracy).

He will be asking questions: crazy questions, dumb questions, smart questions, questions everyman asks.

If you never shuffle the cards then you'll always be dealt from a stacked deck. Trump will shuffle the cards. So it's like randomization/Monte Carlo in machine learning.

We've had decades of lawyers and professional politicians; let's give a real person a chance to be president. Personally I would have preferred a more common man, but I doubt others would have that, because we are primates with social hierarchies.

Trump will be like FDR: desperate to get something done and willing to try whatever it takes to do it but constrained by the law. I like that - it's the "American way"!

But I honestly think Biden could do the same thing, for different reasons, if he would only step out and speak for himself.
It felt like the lifeguard was weirdly too quick, like she was already on the lookout for that kid. As soon as the kid flipped over at :12 she started moving and she jumped in 3 seconds later.
Is Thiel a neoreactionary?

Trump is actually a great candidate for the neoreactionaries: an apolitical strongman with barely veiled ambitions for unchallenged sovereignty. I'm surprised Mencius Moldbug isn't on the delegate slate as well.

FWIW, I've had some success persuading conventional Republicans to write in Hillary Clinton as a protest candidate in the upcoming California primary.
If you truly believe that someone who is part of the wealthy elite will ever do anything to reduce significant problems like income inequality, immigration reform, and expansion of the police state, you're insane.

This. I spent the first 14 years of my career in statically typed languages and only this year began working professionally on a Rails app... I really miss the compiler.
Yes I like that, much more accurate descriptor than "log", though it is more verbose. In the end it is really just nitpicking I guess, but the discoverability of calling these systems "log services" is very low compared to what they are really capable of.

Yes. Binaries are handled by one or more servers, we call them BAM servers. The servers hold the data and your repo holds the meta data, binaries are fetched on demand.

You can have a cloud of servers so the binaries are "close" (think China, India, US).

Transforming Data with a Functional Approach
This is like trying to do services monitoring by just looking for service time-outs - seems intuitive but lots of false positives and by the time you observe it the disaster is in motion. A watchdog timer or deadman's switch is used in a lot of services as an alternative but would be a UX problem since it would require a form of active participation by the users. On the other hand, Disneyland had some success with tracking devices of sorts by branding them right as something beneficial to parents as well as children, so this barrier may be easy to overcome.

I'm also curious if computer vision algorithms could help with anomaly detection scenarios like this when the automatic response is so universal and there might be a large body of videos and photos of such events to help train machine learning algorithms upon.
In the heavily democratic areas and in social media savvy demographics supporting Trump can lead to ostracizing, internet mobs and a wide array of other unpleasant consequences.

So Trump support tends to be underwater. People don't like to support him publicly.
But VB ISN'T BASIC. As in, at all. It may have started out that way, but VB has as much of a relation to BASIC as modern C++ has to C: There's a legacy connection, and C is supported by the compiler, but the actual code doesn't look or feel like C in any way. The BASIC we talk about here is Unstructured and Structured BASIC, which bears very little resemblance to VB, and has many failings.

As for python, I believe you can do division just by using the / operator, just like most other languages. Unless I misunderstood what you meant by "proper" division. Even so, what's so bad about having to load a library to do division? It's not great, sure, but it's not awful, and it's a good deal better than the many sins of BASIC.
>>As long as the countries remain governed by religious politics and inflict God's so called will on others, there cannot be an end to the conflict.

This is very important. The people from the Islamic countries should rise above their God's so called will in a similar way as how the European Christians rose above their God's so called will. We need a Islamic Arab renaissance and a corresponding Islamic Separation of church (mosque/sharia) and state.

Arguably there are benefits to developing in-house expertise, and no better way to develop expertise than to architect and build a solution end-to-end. Twitter now has several domain experts on staff who can continue maintaining DistributedLog and/or weigh its benefits against Kafka's and make more informed decisions going forward.

Not saying that they couldn't have worked more closely with Kafka's team in the first place, but, hey, now we have two Kafkaesque log services instead of just one. Seems like a win to me.
It's not your tacit support of Trump that earned my downvote, it's that your self-described motivation ("send a wrecking ball") will make the problem you identified ("fundamental problems with our economy") worse, not better.

This sort revolutionary fervor is generally counterproductive, and is a large part of why our national politics has become to toxic.
That only shows that you are being paid extremely well, not that I am paid poorly. To say that I am underpaid you would have to say - compared to what?

If I lived in London, it would have been a different discussion - but out here, it's not bad at all.

I don't think that's the case: an unpatented invention (that is disclosed) becomes prior art, which protects the invention from being patented by someone else.

If an unpatented invention is disclosed publically (not through a patent application), then it becomes public domain and nobody can patent it.

Also, the US is no longer "first to invent", but rather "first to file". You could have a claim that you invented it first, but if someone files before you, you are SOL.
