Publishing Industry’s Reveals Nearly $28B in Revenue in 2015
In case you were also wondering what a "fourth cousin" was, someone who shares a pair of great-great-great grandparents[0]. Wikipedia has a great set of diagrams[1] in case you're also confused about first, second, or third cousins. I figure through induction you can presume any nth and nth removed from that page (I foolishly thought 3rd was where people arbitrarily stopped keeping count....)

Hi Alex, this is a great product my company, we work with hundreds of event planners and this could be an interesting sell.

If you like to explore more, drop me an email.

FYI, We help clients increase audience engagement through live Q&As, polls and surveys at their live events.
Could it just be more common for people who are in the same social group to be in the same ethnic group, and maybe that explains most of the genetic similarity they saw, rather than necessarily proving some kind of fitness advantage or something? Probably because often your friends are from the same neighborhood.
> $450-$600/month expenses

To be fair, this is probably a trade-off people in SF are already making. I know I am in NYC - if I was willing to spend an extra hour/day commuting (and that's only weekday, of course), I could easily save $500/month or more on rent.

I can safely agree with you on these points, and it's probably the biggest argumentative weapon feminism has: many of the big problems that need to be dealt with require a "retreat" to a more innocent and child-like state of curiosity about our value systems.
So the system "just works" without the game disc. Mind blowing!!

For the record, the crossed out and updated section was added two days before you posted your comment. At that time, the author added a link right at the top to a newer, more accurate article. The author also added the word "[Updated]" to the title so people would notice this change.
Hah, yeah, I used to do that too with the PS1 until I modded it with a chip. It was flaky though, worked 50% of the time.
I live in Toronto, and frankly I doubt my Panjabi, Sri Lankan, Chinese, and Korean friends are as genetically similar as my fourth cousins.
You're right, it was never meant to just be annotations+ES6. Though when you talk to someone about TypeScript, they'll argue until they're blue in the face that its just "ES6 with types". I guess you can argue semantics here, but don't be too surprise people will argue back that way.
I was just replying to his comment. It's a "mainstream" idea that people like to repeat, but it's simply untrue.

It's like a stock phrase: "Smoking is actually going down, you know! People really are getting smarter/healthier/happier/whatever."

It's just false.
is the problem real UI vs API, or is it more about language choice. That is, was JavaScript the pain point?

For you could write the UI in your backend language, would you have made a different decision? I ask, bc, this is a big reason why I'm excited by webassembly.
I'm not sure how practical this can be, one advantage of having an RPC, is that it allows for cross-language communication.

In this case, won't it be nicer to invest in a rust port of grpc instead of building this?
Haven't read the text yet, but the title remembered me of the Hungarian psychiatrist Leopold Szondi.

You'll need 5.7 to make full use of JSON features; ditto for geo. MySQL 5.7 is still considered pretty new (GA for ~9 months) so many companies haven't upgraded yet. Amazon RDS and Google Cloud SQL do offer 5.7 though, if you want to try out these features.

Best MySQL resources are generally the manual [0],[1] and Percona's blog [2],[3]

As for MySQL table schema best practices, definitely a broader topic, but yes it tends to differ greatly from what's taught academically. Baron's book [4] is probably the best starting place -- it's a few versions old by this point, but most of the core recommendations around InnoDB tables and indexing in there still apply.

This is a dataset designed to study genetics in a cohort of mostly white people from Framingham, MA. How can anyone claim to be able to draw conclusions about the genetics of friendship from this cohort? This is such a biased dataset I can't believe this got published.

For the record, I am Indian, my best friend growing up was Italian, my current best friends are a Russian Jew, a Scotch Irish mix from Woburn, and a Canadian of some uncertain European temperament. I have never had a best friend even close to being my fourth cousin.
If you're doing lots of remote connections, I have found mosh (https://mosh.mit.edu/) to be a useful replacement for / supplement to ssh.

From their landing page:

Remote terminal application that allows roaming, supports intermittent connectivity, and provides intelligent local echo and line editing of user keystrokes.

Mosh is a replacement for SSH. It's more robust and responsive, especially over Wi-Fi, cellular, and long-distance links.
I like that idea of teaching LEFT JOINs before INNER JOINs...I've always done the opposite because that's how I learned it (via some book about Microsoft Access) and maybe because INNER JOIN is the default kind of join if you use only "JOIN".

I teach table aliases but only out of necessity when doing nested queries...they aren't hard to grasp but I've assumed it to be less of a priority when students are still struggling with vanilla SELECT/FROM/WHERE. (Also, I learned aliases somewhat late...they didn't seem useful until working in a production environment...just as proper naming conventions in any language seem like trivia until you have to work with someone else).
It just shifts around from place to place.

OK, we've disabled hiding for logged-out users for now, since they weren't persisted (that part wasn't a bug) and had other issues.
The core argument is actually give en passant in the following sentence: "[...]and even if location-based entertainment need not be serious and political[...]".

You know that's the real rub for the author.
True. We don't know that.

I think however that this may be one of those cases when perception is stronger than reality: perception of what Microsoft is and what Java is.
In the eyes of the interviewers, you were not the most qualified candidate for the position they were hiring for. That's nothing to feel bad about, it just means that if your goal is to be hired by Amazon or Google (or etc.), you need to improve your qualifications (work a different job), and/or improve your ability to communicate your qualifications (work on your "whiteboarding" skills. Also if English was the language the interview was conducted in, work on your conversational English with a language swap partner). You may even "run better" if you re-apply without any improvement, but why take that risk?

There is no penalty to you for re-applying to different jobs at Google or Amazon, and you may find a team for which you are a better fit, you may have better interview luck, or you may be evaluated against a less competitive pool. In the meantime, get a different job and don't let your skills rust.
It's so important for you to be rejected from many places because it helps build your rejection "tolerance". If you read about people you admire, you will see their paths absolutely paved with rejection.
I dunno, I think what you are describing is a practical stack, not a minimal one.

For me, a minimal stack is just an HTML file(possible with a JS file as well) that loads React and Firebase via CDN, and then relies on browser's shipped ES6 capabilities to write code.

But in that sense I might be trolling here since nobody actually does that :)

What Solo Traveling Taught Me About Life
Where our family is from the priests wouldn't allow marriage between 6th cousins. My grandfather was 6th cousins three times removed from my grandmother. (so she was 9 generations away from common ancestors with him) They had to get written permission from the bishop to get married.
Well, I upvoted you for honesty (although not, presumably, for future honesty).
This use by the EFF of a non-sequitur ("even with their knowledge and permission" in the opening sentence, together with the article's title) opens it up to the accusation of being deceptive. There are enough sound arguments that the CFAA, or at least the way it is sometimes used, is bad law.
Care to elaborate about your thoughts? C++ lacks runtime reflection so that integration would probably require a code generator, which judging from my past experience, is hard to use.

Not really relevant to this particular conversation. C# was commercially released in July 2000. The ECMA standardization committee was founded in September of the same year. Writing began in January 2003, and the standard officially adopted in June 2006. This is all described in the standard:

http://www.ecma-international.org/publications/files/ECMA-ST...

There's also a standard for CLI (Common Language Infrastructure), which is the underpinning of the .NET platform:

I used to really struggle with those types of diagrams. Like, they make sense on their own, but it's hard to reason about the patterns with them; the relationships (heh) between each diagram aren't clear.

I much prefer the square/diamond type diagram that's further down in the article. It seems like black magic at first, but if you stop and think about it for a bit, once you understand it, is crystal clear.

I guess it's about short-term or long-term ease of understanding.
Wow, takes me way back to an undergrad programming assignment to take a family tree and compute the degree and "removedness" of any two cousins.

Didn't stop my great grandparents :) My mom's side is Mennonite, which is also a very tight knit community. When my grandma sends random pictures from in and around Goshen, Indiana, my wife has commented multiple times "whoa that guy in the background really looks like you!"
Because one of SEQUEL, and thus SQL's design goals was to create a language that's usable by non-programmers of various levels of computer and math fluency. Having to remember a set of symbols just to get a jobs report would be a huge turn-off to a huge subsection of people that the language was intended for.

Private Internet Access: We Are Removing Our Russian Presence
To Our Beloved Users,

The Russian Government has passed a new law that mandates that every provider must log all Russian internet traffic for up to a year. We believe that due to the enforcement regime surrounding this new law, some of our Russian Servers (RU) were recently seized by Russian Authorities, without notice or any type of due process. We think it’s because we are the most outspoken and only verified no-log VPN provider.

Luckily, since we do not log any traffic or session data, period, no data has been compromised. Our users are, and will always be, private and secure.

Upon learning of the above, we immediately discontinued our Russian gateways and will no longer be doing business in the region.

To make it clear, the privacy and security of our users is our number one priority. For preventative reasons, we are rotating all of our certificates. Furthermore, we’re updating our client applications with improved security measures to mitigate circumstances like this in the future, on top of what is already in place. In addition, our manual configurations now support the strongest new encryption algorithms including AES-256, SHA-256, and RSA-4096.

All Private Internet Access users must update their desktop clients at https://www.privateinternetaccess.com/pages/client-support/ and our Android App at Google Play. Manual openvpn configurations users must also download the new config files from the client download page.

We have decided not to do business within the Russian territory. We’re going to be further evaluating other countries and their policies.

In any event, we are aware that there may be times that notice and due process are forgone. However, we do not log and are default secure against seizure.

If you have any questions, please contact us at helpdesk@privateinternetaccess.com.
The ECMA standardization committee was founded three months after the commercial release of C#.
Which one is it?

Bear with me on this one ...

I loved the movie Pulp Fiction. In it, Jules and Vincent are stone cold killers. They do their job with cool nonchalance. But when something goes wrong they fall apart; they can't cope with changed circumstances. They're utterly helpless until Winston Wolfe rescues them. In summary, the domain over which they can be considered "experts" is very limited.

Another example is Charles Barkley, a great basketball player of the not-too-distant past. When someone questioned him about his off-court behavior, he said: "I'm not a role model... Just because I dunk a basketball doesn't mean I should raise your kids."

Same with Scott Adams. I like him as a cynical observer of the contemporary American workplace. As for who he thinks will win the election, I couldn't care less. And I surely don't won't let him influence who I vote for.

You can enjoy Dilbert without knowing anything about Scott Adams.

It's interesting, for certain, but still requires all clients to dedicate an identical amount of bandwidth (n.b.: this is very probably required for traffic-analysis-resistant anonymity): 'Moreover, each message needs to be padded to a fixed length to prevent privacy leakage through the size of the message,' (pg.23) and 'To be fully traffic analysis resistant, all users are required to upload a message, even if they do not wish to communicate that round' (pg. 25).

Granted, the second sentence leaves open the possibility that perhaps all users aren't required to upload a message, at the cost of increased susceptibility to analysis, but I don't think that's really intended: worst-case, there's one client message per round, which provides no real anonymity against the client's primary server.

I'm not putting it down, really: Riffle is a remarkable achievement. Sadly, it appears that anonymity is really, really hard to do truly efficiently.
I mean, that doesn't invalidate what he was saying, but that's an interesting bit of info.

Everything is relative. At a company, I was a top dog, by an order of magnitude (if such things can be quantified) at developing software in my field. I thought I was pretty damn good at it, and put something to that effect on my resume.

Later on, I applied to a different company, and while I got hired...holy shit. I have one hell of an imposer syndrome, because an "average" dev there can seriously show me a trick or two...or a hundred. The top of the food chains might as well be gods among mortals in my view.

So really, a resume only tells you what the applicant THINKS their qualifications are. Nothing more.

If there's a pattern of sloppy traders trying to fill large orders by splitting them across exchanges and firing them off at roughly the same time, then having seen a trade at one exchange and not yet at another, it might be a good guess that a trade was incoming, if I'm faster enough to make those decisions.

I don't really know if that is the case (or ever was).

In any event, it's not acausal.
Same case with me.

Ask HN: Bay Area HN'ers How long did it take you to buy your first house?
I check Glassdoor/Quora/H1B wages etc regarding salaries and I get a really wide band of numbers (100-300k) for experienced/sr software engineers. Even with those incomes, it is really hard for someone to save up for a house in the Bay Area.

Can anyone share some insight as to how long it took to save up for a house here? I earn around 150+ and it looks like it will be forever before I can save up for a house here. I love the opportunities here and definitely want to settle down here for a while.

Can anyone share some realistic data points as to how long it took for you guys out here? Just want to know how to set up my expectations.

Thanks!

However, this "once removed" notation is crazy. Why not second-uncle for parents of second-cousins and so on?
