define "transparent" ....
The older I get, the more deeply weird and mystical this whole range of questions feels to me. It only recently occurred to me, for example, while reading about Whitehead's process philosophy, that even if he was right, and that by learning about process philosophy I'd discovered a radically different and more energizing explanation for what the fundamental nature of reality is, it just wouldn't matter; I couldn't produce a single example of how it would materially affect my life or my relationships, except possibly by making me one of those cocktail party bores who constantly talks about how amazing process philosophy is. Maybe someone else could/did produce something "meaningful," out of process philosophy, but for me, getting excited about process philosophy turned out to be fairly meaningless even if the idea itself is possibly-meaningful. Corollary: this may be one of the principle advantages to being able to make art, and especially narrative art: if I were a novelist, I might have been able to boil these process philosophy ideas down into some more humanistic narratives that actually would have some impact on some people. But I'm not, so the conclusion here is, the search for meaning may just be a red herring for me. Unfortunately, it may actually not be; hence the weirdness of it all: how would I know the difference, and what would happen then? And weirdest of all: what is happening in my mind that makes all of these questions feel so urgent all the time?

Author here, writing this book was one of the hardest things I've ever done, and there is seemingly no end to the small issues I've faced (both writing and technical). Would appreciate some feedback to make it as good as it can be, AMA thanks.
Bernie Sanders Endorses Hillary Clinton
This isn't an argument against collaboration. It's an argument against the idea that you are inherently worthless until you contribute to something greater than yourself. We can work together because we feel meaningless on our own or we can work together because we are confident in our ability to contribute and appreciate that ability in others as well. They might lead to the same result, but one is starting from a position of shame and the other is starting from a position of self-respect.

Nihilism is a question about meaning, not an answer, so this author starts off in the wrong place by trying to find a meaning - as most do who take the moniker of "Nihilist."

Seems like the author is taking the absurdist/existentialist solution of choosing what is valuable. In this case trying to tie a more complex understanding of individualist hedonism ("feeling" meaning) with some kind of combinatorial pluralistic hedonism.

Pretty simply this is just a more verbose version of the existentialist hedonistic answer to the question of meaninglessness.

To quote the author:

I'm almost certainly reinventing the wheel

Pretty typical really. Most people who truly embrace the absurd either don't seek meaning or have already killed themselves.
Replicable Falsifiable Precise Parsimonious
Yes, you are in fact misunderstanding the point. We don't wrap anything. We use the same Vanguard funds as you would find in a Vanguard plan. It's the exact same costs. We don't make money based on AUM fees. You're also forgetting about all the other services you need in a 401(k), fiduciary, compliance, education etc. Not available via Vangaurd you have to hire it out and pay AUM fees.
Does anyone know where to report violations like this? I've seen many in the past, and I've tried using the FTC report a violation tool, but none of the categories seem to hit this. Too bad, because crowdsourcing the detection of these violations would make the FTC's job a lot easier!

Many employers will tell you that music grads make excellent employees. It's usually easier for a music grad to learn coding to an undergrad standard than vice versa.

But I'm underwhelmed by these kind of fluffy semi-literary linkups between otherwise beautiful things.

No matter what science people tell you, music is not math. It's much more complex than that. :)

I once lived in a area that had naturally elevated levels of radium in the city water supply. Nice that each water bill had a warning about possible bone cancer risk in drinking the water.

Needless to say we had a delivery service for our drinking water.

As I first looked at this headline on the HN front page, it had a perfect "42" comments.

(I hate to ruin it, but it was bound to happen anyway).
No, I think it's just actually that popular of a franchise. A ton of my friends (early 20's) are talking about it on Facebook to the point where its a large portion of my entire newsfeed.
Performance can be considered a consequence of security/language safety. Rust code is free from data races and developers can utilize concurrency and all available CPU cores without fear.
This doesn't make sense to me. The entire point of Roth is that you pay tax up front, and then the retirement proceeds are tax-free (assuming you withdraw after proper age, etc.). To then go and tax these withdrawals is basically neutering the entire Roth deal - I think there would be some pretty major political backlash on that.

A JIT doesn't have to be any less safe than compiling Rust code.
Does no one see that this is a joke? I mean it even says so on the page. Relax people.
They could realistically change the tax structure or even the retirement age(s) at which you could withdraw the funds. But if there were another mega-stressor to the financial system in the future, it seems that this pool of trillions of dollars would be ripe for the picking. Let's face it, lobbyists get what they want. Not the people. So if the bank's risky investments cause a panic and the only thing preventing an economic meltdown is the re-purposing of 401k funds....well...

`Ever try to get someone to read a paper on software engineering methods?`

Yup, they never read it, let alone care.

`Look, I'm definitely not a top %1 (or even %10) architect`

I would say just simply knowing puts you in the top 10%. I don't wanted to come off as a jackass. Mostly because I've been through the same thing.

Not my area of expertise here, but since quadcopters are all about torque, I speculate that electric motors (with their flat-ish torque curve) are much easier to design for?
It's pseudoscience if it's presented as "scientific fact"; science is the process by which such facts are established. Otherwise you're talking about a hypothesis.

Both devs of this project are HN readers, this is where they met!

I've been using this for over a year now and it's been a huge help for applying responsive styling to those hard-to-reach places or situations where you'd otherwise be writing a lot of JavaScript to help manage your styles for you.
I like this. I'd elaborate on your groups this way:

Group 1's job is to save the company money, or make existing systems easier to use/more efficient. They help increase sales by implementing metrics/ab testing/etc. A top member of group 1 will be leveraging technology to automate costs & complexity away. If the company nets more money because a Group 1 person is employed, they're doing their job.

Group 2's job is to invent core technology, often from scratch. They are well-versed in theory and application, and their deliverables take lots of time. If the company gains a patent because of a Group 2 person, they're doing their job.

Group 1 is business (and sometime public) facing, so soft skills are much more important. Group 2 IS usually the business, so tech skills are #1. The two groups have the same components in their pie charts, just in different proportions.
Our small company has a SIMPLE IRA through Vanguard. It costs $25/year (waived if you have $50k managed with them across any type of accounts) plus the mutual fund costs, which are very low. Almost no paperwork to get it started.

Definitely worth looking into for small businesses.
I don't think there's any implication of that. It's just a nice piece of trivia.
6 months, all that needs to get in is a proposal (first alpha is a month away so there's plenty of time to flesh it out). We can still package rustc without needing a change, but cargo would be delayed if there isn't a proposal on the wiki before the end of day.
> Vietnam, who lost two conflicts with China already, when China was even poorer and weaker than it is now?

What? I assume at the "two conflicts" you are referring to are

(1) the 1979 Chinese invasion of Vietnam (Sino-Vietnamese War; Third Indochina War) which had two strategic objectives: forcing Vietnam to withdraw troops from Cambodia, and forcing Vietnam to surrender the Spratly Islands -- neither of which China achieved, as Vietnam diverted no troops from Cambodia and did not surrender the Spratly's,

(2) The period of intermittent armed conflict between China and Vietnam following the Chinese withdrawal after the 1979 invasion (sometimes called the Second Sino-Vietnamese War; sometimes considered with the 1979 invasion part of the Third Indochina War).

Neither of these was a clear win for China, and while China was "poorer and weaker" then than it is now, so was Vietnam.

> Or the Philippines, who can barely keep their own state together as it is? Maybe Malaysia, a country constantly rocked by internal dissent because of huge economic inequality?

Actually -- whether this is good policy or not -- external conflicts are often escalated (not uncommonly resulting in war, whether or not that was the intent) by countries with problems with domestic unity/dissent, specifically to use the external crisis as to either promote unity (by a "rally around the flag" effect) or as a pretext to more vigorously suppress domestic dissent by tying it to the external threat.

> The only nation who might decide they "won't take it anymore" is the United States; but post-Iraq, the US will struggle to justify any significant intervention abroad for another generation, let alone against a nuclear superpower.

Vietnam barely had that much effect, and there's preciously little evidence that Iraq has had anything like Vietnam's effect on the US's political willingness to intervene overseas.

A quote from the reporter's blog [0]: "When the nice neuroscientists put the electrodes on me, the thing that made the earth drop out from under my feet was that for the first time in my life, everything in my head finally shut the fuck up."

I didn't find this to be a very useful article. It takes steps to create an abstract-symbolic definition of meaning, but doesn't develop it further and also doesn't use it again in the rest of the article. At least half of it could have been left out, therefore.

The conclusion is also rather trite, and seems to adopt humanity's tendency towards techno-optimistic hubris as a proxy for meaning. The conclusion doesn't support the thesis that science can lead us to meaning. I can appreciate the complexity of human society by reading the Koran, or going to a death metal concert. I don't need science for that.

Science is truly great, it is the most successful and useful paradigm for organising knowledge. But I don't think it is a path to meaning, no matter how much you romanticize it. It's just as likely to kill us all and destroy the planet as it is to save it, the former being considerably easier than the latter.

This is a passed on fee, not charged by Guideline, not marked-up in anyway. We are just being transparent instead of wrapping it in the expense ratio like everyone else. It's very important to have an established custodian.
Ok but the numbers you quoted assumed a linear relationship.

In no way is it "almost certain" that investment in the UK will decrease. The evidence currently suggests the complete opposite. Look at the performance of the FTSE100 since the referendum to see the flood of foreign investment coming into the UK listed companies thanks to the weaker currency.

I'd also point out that decreasing tax rates is the exact opposite of what the chancellor said he would do before the referendum.
It's not in the EU's interest to have a free trade agreement with China; the US doesn't have one either.

China pursues a mercantilist strategy in many respects. Take steel, for example: unrestricted trade with China would wreak havoc on Germany's steel industry, with potential knock-on effects further along the value chain - and there's no guarantee that China would keep steel prices low after predatory pricing.

Understand the FTC gets a ton of complaints, in many cases for things that are much more egregious. I'm not sure what the weights between volume of complaints and detailed documentation of a problem contribute to initiating an investigation.

So you're saying that instead of (for instance) signing up with both Principal (who has the funds) and also TRA (who ... does something) ... a firm just signs up with you and it's a one-stop shop ?

What is the total fee load for your plain old S&P 500 index fund ?
Health care in countries that have the best results are also heavily regulated. Regulations can be very beneficial, but only if they're well developed and well protected from regulatory capture.
It is a bit of colloquial American English where they have dropped the negative but still use the phrase in the same context. It is the same problem with "I could care less" when what the speaker actually means is "I couldn't care less".
> And it is "just" strategic military positioning - to protect the new silk road naval routes.

Yeah, it certainly has nothing to do with South China Sea oil reserves, and China's exponentially growing per-capita energy consumption.
"The past is the key to the future". If you have 20-40 years of saving ahead of, look at what happened in consumer tax law the past 20-40 years. The first public deferred income savings just began in 1980 only 36 years ago. 401Ks became common in the 1990s about 25 years ago. Roths only this century. Capital gains taxes were lower than income taxes 1977-86 and 1994 to now. The tax free home gains deduction started in the late 90s.

The point is that retirement tax vehicles changed a lot in recent decades making it quite likely they always will in the future. Take advantage what you can now.

Thanks for the comments. I thoroughly enjoyed Between Silk and Cyanide. A small correction, the Playfair is actually a substitution cipher (mapping diagrams to diagrams) not a transposition cipher. The Playfair is a paper and pencil cipher that can usually be broken by hand with even modest amounts of material[1]. The Playfair (and the Wheatstone bridge) were invented by Sir Charles Wheatstone.

Why do you want the place that keeps all your money to support an unencrypted, unauthenticated, over-the-air token delivered by an insecure provider over an insecure protocol?
Most tech people realized 20 years ago email is a terrible place for confidential information unless you have OPSEC and use PGP. If you trust your plain text email traveling around the world and stored in Google's cloud it seems stupid to worry about someone accessing it.

Also Gmail allows you to create more than one account. Instead of all this alarmism in media just tell people they should create a separate account in Gmail just for games instead of using the one you are worried about some big billion dollar company accessing it (which they already do).
Has anyone tried combining fuzzing with 'all-pairs'/'pairwise' test case generation?

The idea of pairwise testing is that individual features in a program are commonly tested, but combinations of them are often poorly tested. However, trying to test all features with each other soon becomes a combinatorial nightmare. To deal with this, you use an algorithm (e.g. see the code for 'allpairs' at http://www.satisfice.com/tools.shtml ) to pick a minimal set of test cases that cover all possible pairs of configuration settings.

These test cases could then be used as starting points for fuzzing, to provide a greater code coverage faster.
Typically speaking, a federal regulatory body's enforcement calculus follows this procedure:

1. How big is the target company?

2. How scary are its lawyers?

3. Do we expect the company to put up a fight?

4. Is the fight worth it? (e.g., Are there important precedents at stake? Can we make an example of the company in question?)

Ninety-nine times out of a hundred, the desire to pursue the fight in court fizzles out at Step 4. (And sometimes there's an ancillary Step 4a: "How many other battles are we fighting right now?")

I'm not being glib here; I'm just being cynical, but realistic. This is pretty much how my friends at various agencies have described it to me. It doesn't seem too farfetched, if perhaps a bit simplified.

The next steps will actually be France will give up its seat and the EU will take it up.

The UK was also going to give it up (alongside its WTO seat) which was what drove Cameron's 'ever closer union' clause.
Not sure if sarcasm, but:

- Human rights are governed by the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR), which is a separate organization and treaty than the EU. It's unlikely the UK will leave the Council of Europe too.

- Safety regulations on products are part of the single market treaties, just as free movement of people is. If the UK wants to remain in the EEA (e.g. through membership of the EFTA), it will still have to accept those.
> Either that or the Arizona regulations are just a little looser.

Arizona is still in the United States, so it has the same federal regulations ;-)

Ok, yes, it seems nobody responds to the HN email address regarding issues like this. They likely filter out those not as popular as you.

It's possible because you don't have a Social Security balance. There's no statement that says "you personally have $250k in your account" like a 401(k) or IRA does. So, no one notices when Congress goes fishing in it.

Frankly, I (34) do think it'll be solvent by my retirement. It'll still have funds to pay about 3/4 of current benefits without changes to the system. As it gets closer, political change will likely get easier as Congress doesn't want lose their cushy jobs en masse.

If you don't mandate implementation, you don't have a level playing field; you have a race to the bottom on everything from tax levels to working laws to product standards. Game theoretically, everybody loses in a race to the bottom.

If it were popular to use Programmer I, Programmer II, and Programmer III, then they would call it that.

By the way, going to a lot of conferences or having a lot of Twitter followers does not make you more 'senior' than me. It might make it easier for you to negotiate a 'senior' title and salary though, just by virtue of your being good at self-promotion.
