Problems are usually technique, razor, brush and cream. DE shaving needs a bit more effort.

Technique - are you using the right angle (experiment) and pressure (none - the mere weight of the thing should be enough)? Check videos if necessary. Are you making enough lather? Leaving it on long enough? Good technique sort of happens with experience.

Razor - is it a good one? I've owned a few cheap razors and never managed to make them work, something to do with the proportions. The blade has to stick out just so and the safety bar (or comb) be of just the right size. My two current ones are Merkur 12C and 42C, the former for when I'm paying attention, the latter for speed. I'm getting a Muhle R41 for fun.

Brush - do you own a good one? If on a budget, the other poster's Reddit wiki has a lot of good suggestions for boar and synthetic options ("budget" badger is not a good idea). This is important to get a good lather.

Many "starter packs" include a low quality brush and razor leading to bad first experiences.

Cream/soap - it's amazing how many are on the market and simply do not do their job. You have to keep trying until you find one that works with the water in your area to produce a slick, lasting lather. For me personally dealing with Singapore water the best are Godrej blue tube (menthol), Arko and Proraso.

On wiggle room: I tried it with the 12C after reading somewhere about how the "old guys used to do it" and guess what, not only does it not work but you will get nicked. The less wiggle room the better.
I am picturing in my mind's eye someone beating you on the dome of your skull with an oversized elementary science textbook.

It is not generally useful to say someone else is "wrong" about their religion or superstitions, unless you have statistically significant data from a controlled, reproducible experiment that contradicts their implied hypothesis. Without the support of facts, you're just in a pissing contest over who writes the best fiction.

If you're going to talk about this on HN, in terms of correct or incorrect, you're going to need to show the differences in medical scanner images between cats that have been continually mind-controlled by psychic humans over their entire lifespans and control cats with similar breeds and ages.

Because of that, I'm not going to say that your hypothesis is wrong, as it remains untested, but I will say that it is so implausible that any research experiment intended to test it is very unlikely to get public funding.
I don't think anyone has a 100% consistent political ideology. It's likely that Thiel is just a hypocrite in some ways, like the rest of us.
And the technical part of Twitter is somehow non-trivial?

I get what you're saying, but while developing software to handle "real stuff" might be more risky and more difficult, it's also going to have some real value.

Also, I don't see how anyone could ever do anything without going into an industry without domain experience. How else will you gain experience?
Sexual dimorphism is also important for sexual attractiveness.
Something I have always wondered.

The first version of firefox was 5 mb and chrome was 9 mb or so. Can't we bundle such a light version of the browser, instead of always bundling the latest and greatest? Shouldn't it be enough to render the gui's of native apps?
I used to love ZeroHedge, but their signal:noise seems to have gone way downhill in the last year or two. There was always more than a healthy dose of paranoia and unconfirmed news, but it's gotten harder and harder to find the "good stuff".
This is really cool. Have you considered implimenting the DVSNI challenge?
The Danish personal identification numbers are useless for identifying someone since we pretty much give them out to anyone who asks for it, and they can be calculated using some methods, which have been done to some politicians just to show the flaws in the system behind them.
The source is publicly viewable but neither Free Software or Open Source.
Maybe something changed, but DSC was not yet profitable, so concluding that their service is a big win is premature. DSC was still burning cash which is important to consider in determining if they were sustainable.

The sale is a win for investors if they ended up with a good ROI. The article says the DSC brand cost $57m, but I've frequently seen numbers closer to $200m.

DSC alone may not have lasted, but if it has access to Unilever's product lines and resources, it can move beyond razors.

You can get some Sass/LESS benefit using PostCSS with CSSNext plugin. CSSNext will give you ability to use future CSS syntax now. If you want to go further, there is even a PostCSS plugin precss that can replace Sass/LESS. I just use CSSNext + autoprefixer + cssnano.
Would you please kind sir elaborate why you feel like this?

Her last paragraph makes it clear that she does talk about it, she just wishes she didn't have to.
Must have dirty fingers for this to work though.
I found it pretty easy to generate images in a reproducible way: just load your packages, run whatever setup you want, then save the image. Compactness hasn't been a problem for me but I suppose it could be. Admittedly I don't have much real experience with deploying Lisp applications in any serious way; I'm curious about what problems people run into.
Over-engineering at it's finest.

React is great for some applications, IMO this is not one of them. To me it just over complicates things for minimal gain.
And you'd likely get it, along with the heads of his/her immediate family.
Users flagged it.

Thiel is mostly on topic here, of course, but Trump is mostly off topic, so there's a tradeoff. I don't think HN gets better if we resolve that in favor of more arguing about Trump.
I think this comes back to the line about "identifying minimum security for your threat level".

If you want to pass 'safe' data to lots of people or over long distances, you use the web. Throw it on pastebin via Tor, a burner computer, and Starbucks wifi. If you need to deal in live meetings or other identity-compromising communication (like a big drug deal) you probably want to deal in flashdrives and couriers.
You're absolutely right! That's another thing - always get someone to proofread for you.

> bullshitting your way through the CV-based selection ... I don't think it's what you had in mind.

That's _exactly_ what I had in mind, though I might phrase it as "honing your sales pitch". On something like a CV, you should always be happy to lose a little accuracy and completeness to gain some clarity. That doesn't mean you can make stuff up, but you do need to phrase yourself carefully to highlight your strong points.

You'd be surprised at what you can quantify. See "How to Measure Anything (https://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Measure-Anything-Intangibles-Bu... for some ideas. Measurables are the language of those who hire you (and decide your salary) so learning how to show this kind of stuff is essential.

* What was the conversion rate on that page you made before and after?

* How long did it take staff in your company to complete that process before and after you rebuilt it? How many hours have you saved the company?

* How many bugs were reported per day for that module before you fixed it, and how much did it cost the business to process them?
One theory goes that the recent bombings in Turkey were not honored by the UEFA with the same silence. Crowd felt it unjustly?

And so what if they shout allu-akbah? Isn't it allowed at football to inspire winning the great match? Terrorists surely don't own the usage rights of allahu akbar. It's not audible anyway on videos.
>I heard a neckbeard, seeing a woman warming up for the presentation we just sat down for, say something dismissive about another diversity talk

It's really hard to take your criticism of a sexist dismissal seriously when you preface it with a sexist dismissal.

I think they meant DeepMind as the team itself, not the software.

The problem is that the contractor doesn't write the RFP or the final contract, the customer does. So if you want that money you sign on the dotted line and hope for the best.

Within the contract there is often flexibility as to how the job gets done. But bottom line is that if you have a stubborn customer who insists on doing things the hard/stupid way, there's not a lot you can do. Maybe you go above their head and try to force a change but that is fraught with risk. The prudent thing to do from a financial standpoint is just put your head down and complete the contract, even if the work is compromised because of the customer you're dealing with. And indeed, that's what happens a lot of the time.

Fortunately more and more parts of government are buying into the agile mindset but there's still a lot of outdated thinking out there.

>Apple and Google are the new Atari: mountains and mountains of shovelware.

Apple and Google are just HUGE marketplaces where you can find anything, shoveware included.

We don't call Amazon the "new Atari" because you can find tons of crap books, and not just Shakespeare and awarded novelists.

It's absurd to expect not to find tons of shovelware in a app stores with 1 million titles. Plus, one man's shovelware is another man's "gem of an app I use everyday".

The question is whether there are a few thousands of great apps (and the answer is definitely yes) -- not whether all 1.5 million apps in there are great.

This might be more noticeable as an "Ask HN:" question.
As he should. Democrats and big business are leading us down an orwellian rabbit hole (with the help of two Bush presidencies), but Rebulicans and Libertarians are still the two parties of principle and debate.

All the Democrats care about is power. Witness the shadiness with which Democrats forced Hillary as the nominee and then let her get off when she obviously broke the law and had been lying about it for a year.

When a group wants power that bad it's my job as an American citizen to keep them out of power.
What do you see as incompetent in Python?
Maybe because "the people" is a dangerous generalisation. I'm pretty sure huge swaths of Turkish citizenry don't really want to live in some Iran-style "democratic theocracy".
Maybe Apple doesn't care about "people downloading and using lots of app" beyond a certain point? The App Store has never been a cash cow for them. Hardware has always bin.
Recently I've tried an approach where I send two documents when asked for a CV:

- a "classic" CV which describes education, skills, work experience, and "miscellaneous" projects (late night hacks mostly);

- a second document entitled "friendly CV" but which is actually a short pdf with slides. It is super casual and I explain my previous work with pictures of algorithms and technical stuff. I cut down all the noise and try to speak directly to the inner geek of my potential reader.

From my perspective, I'd say I had quite some success with it.

I think it doesn't matter if you do exactly that. The point is to wake up your reader if you're the 50th CV they're reading this afternoon.
that's fine. Those figures just say that many people are ok with whatever. Ultimately: If you don't like it, then you can leave. And if you aren't paying attention, then, well, you obviously don't care enough about that asset.
I feel that the company follows an open source belief rather than a model. When you say this:

When I think about our company I do think of it as an open source company.

It confirms that some of us might share the same feeling.
Anecdotally, I grew up in the Chinese countryside, spelunking through mud at the local pond to catch frogs for dinner and bathing maybe twice a week. It was only when I moved to the US, land of hand sanitizers and abundant soap, that I suddenly developed a mild allergy to pollen.
It's not terribly uncommon for colleges to require some form of physical education like in high school. The motivations are varied -- from legal mandate (for state schools) all the way to subsidizing the athletic staff with tuition dollars for BS courses.

And even where there aren't strict requirements, students sometimes end up with a few extra "free" course credits (e.g. to stay full time for a final semester). Uni staff/faculty are often willing to teach a course like this because it's fun and they get a couple grand for teaching young people about their hobby for an hour every week.

FWIW I took a rock climbing course like this (last semester, had a few extra credits my scholarship paid for in any case, and didn't have time for a real course due to travel). There was just enough "scholarly study" to make the course barely legit (read 2 books and discussed safety techniques in a science-y way), but 99.9% of the time was spent climbing.
I think the people downvoting this are missing the sarcasm.

It was supposed to be sarcastic. Right?
>I'm carrying around 64GB memory in my phone. Why limit myself, worrying about space?

A lot of apps can be several GB by themselves alone, e.g. some 4-6 GB game titles, etc. Music apps with sample content tend to be on the multi-GB camp too.

And of course the user might also have most of those 64GB taken by his music, videos, and photos.
I don't think you can infer that all the researcher's finding would be critical bugs in one of the big companies (that pay well). It probably follows a normal distribution where most of the time it's non-critical bugs in medium-sized companies.
Something similar happens in science too. Anecdotally i watched it happen with my supervisor, as the latest "women in science" wave started about a decade ago. She got a number of administrative positions, which I increasingly felt she got "because she was a woman". That led to her being visibly left behind in her scientific field. It's funny, because she s far from what you would describe as feminist.
> the data protection agency doesn't have any real power.

Which is a shame, because the Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is suppose to guarantee that data protection issues are protected by an independent body.
Clueless Twitter again - sell verification for $99.95 for the first year and $9.95/year thereafter.
I wonder if this would have been a story if a country other than China was involved. Of course, the information was carelessly handled but then again worse things have happened.. like sending a missile to the wrong address. The bias in the article is interesting, with the author of the article putting the words 'by mistake' in quotes to signal that the mere act of opening the package is suspicious. Over the years I have blindly opened plenty of mailed packages only to realize that it was actually addressed to someone else.
I was excited to read how open source philosophy is ingrained into Gitlab and how it helps them grow but the article rather skims over it.
I have just gone, slightly, in the opposite direction. I used to install almost no apps on my android phone. Now with Android 6 fine grain permissions I have started installing a few useful apps.

Curious, what mess does Germany find itself in with respect to Ataturk's principles?
"Except "learning" in Etherium's case would have been to abandon the currency due to its insecurity, probably fork the code, and just start over from block 0 again."

Aren't you confusing Etherium with The Dao ? Yes, the dao needed to be abandoned due to its insecurity, but my understanding is that the Etherium base itself was not at fault.
Compiling nginx from scratch to include ngx_lua is a bummer because of all the added questions that need to be answered (packaging, repositories, automation, etc).

It becomes 98% of the time spent enabling this awesome feature (at least on CentOS and Fedora, from what I can tell there aren't RPM packages for ngx_lua).
Diversity in tech will never work. You are going against reality if you think everyone has the same aptitude to be good at math/engineering. Look at the data below.

SAT Math by race [1] :

- Asian/Pacific Islander = 598

- White = 534

- Mexican American = 461

- Black = 429

SAT Math by gender [2] :

- Men = 537

- Women = 503

You are right, they are very interesting in their displays of intelligence. One time when I was hunting, there were a group of crows near my camp site. They would come down and investigate where I was staying looking for any scraps of food. As soon as my gun was visible they would all fly several hundred yards away and observe me from a safe distance. Once I put my gun away they would all return back to my camp site to look around.

It was very clear they knew exactly what the gun was, and knew to stay clear of it when they saw it. I never thought about crows the same after that.
Proficient in both Java and Obj-C. I like just going native and learning about the platform rather than cutting corners with cross platform frameworks.

Very dependent on the API, wrote the API myself in Go.

For what it's worth, I recently applied for a few jobs, and did get an offer. On the other hand at least one of the places I applied replied with a "we're not hiring anyone this round" - so obviously I missed on that one. Probably due to them using a horrible Web based application system and that I forgot to upload attachments (grade transcript etc).

My view is that a CV/resume (non-academic) should list relevant work experience and education. Probably also certifications if relevant for the position.

Perhaps a section on other experience (leadership/management/responsibilities/achivements in volunteer/leisure activities - eg: successfully guided a hiking trip through a storm, etc).

Then the cover letter should put those experiences in context for the position you're applying for. And it probably should be no more than (half) a page for the letter and one to two for the CV.

Maybe I'm a bit extreme, but I strongly believe in not wasting the time of people doing the hiring (hopefully for an engineering position they're not full time HR and have other things they'd rather be doing).
My 3.5-year-old son sucks his thumb. His thumb looks weird, it's a bit more flat, but that's not the biggest issue. The biggest issue is his sucking has pushed his front tooth on that side out. It now looks crooked, and he's making it worse every day. That's the danger of thumb sucking IMO.
The first sentence makes it clear that that's what it means, so let's just evade this bikeshed by disambiguating the title above.
Not totally a lie. There are a finite number of accounting rules applied to unique businesses all over the country and globe. However, not all these rules allow a company to fully represent the financial state of the business. Therefore, companies try to reconcile these discrepancies through management guidance and non-GAAP accounting.

As an observer, you need to make a judgement call on whether you agree with the GAAP numbers, the guidance numbers, or somewhere in between.
Immigration is like alcohol: there's good liquor and bad liquor, a time and place for it, and too much of any of it will give you a hangover.
We have full resolution full colour frame buffers. But instead of typing into them, we end up with grunt and poke interfaces.

FWIW, Bloomberg Terminals might be something in line with what you want.
> Or, using telemetry, user studies and more, you can actually figure out what those use cases are. It's not rocket surgery.

Or you end up convincing yourself into thinking your own preconceptions are actually the real use cases. It's like social science, except most software development companies haven't heard of any kind of scientific rigour. Not to mention the study tools are broken on purpose too; it's not unheard of that people writing e.g. analytics / A/B-testing tools optimize them for the "wow it works" aspect - successfully, because most companies using them don't know squat about stats.

That said, even if you identify the right use cases, there's the orthogonal aspect of whether your tool will allow for those and only those use cases, or if it is a more general one.
From what i remember reading, basically how you domesticate an animal is to convince them that they're still babies (and will always be babies for the rest of their lives) and that their humans are their mothers. Obviously, an animal is going to love their mother and not run from them or attack them, and you want them to apply that behavior to us. And you do that by breeding neoteny into them.

Even as wild as domestic cats can act, they still retain a considerable amount of kitten-like behaviors well into adulthood. You can distinguish someone's pet cat from a feral cat largely because the pet cat still acts like a kitten. A hyperactive, playful kitten with sharp implements of death who treats small animals as their toys to play with until dead, but still a kitten.
That's now how sandboxing works. You'd need an additional bug to escape the sandbox.
Thanks all for the helpful comments - it seems like the Thinkpad T420/T450 seem to be the preferred choice although I am really happy to see that there are also quite a few other options.

System76 also sounds great because they specialize in Ubuntu and I've worked on dell laptops before and love their build quality so it's going to be a tough choice :)
I went to ngconf this year and two of the talks that stood out to me were given by women.

One was the angular materials talk / demo and it was amazing. The presenter was exuding tech prowess, I was blown away by how easy she made it look to make a dog adoption website. One of the best talks.

The other was by the CEO of girl scouts giving a patronizing 5 minute talk about how we need all help women in tech succeed and change ourselves so the world can change for the better. One of the worst talks.

I had those in mind when I read the article and for that reason I think I can see where she's coming from. When a woman just gives a tech talk, it's just a tech talk incidentally given by a woman. Isn't that the goal? More talks like the first one I described?
Does being "smart" (however you define it) mean that you know the best way to govern? Does it mean you know how to make it happen in the real world? Does it mean you can pull together all the moving parts of a republic to turn ideas into policies? If so, the smartest world leaders would be the best, wouldn't they?

I think Vladimir Putin is one of the smartest world leaders currently. Barack Obama probably is, and it would be contradictory for someone to argue that both he and Peter Thiel are correct about how the US should be governed. Elizabeth Warren and Karl Rove are also both seemingly very intelligent.

Someone took a stab[1][2] at assessing and ranking the smartest presidents, and they're ideologically mixed (from Roosevelt to Reagan).

Define "democratic". He consistently imprisoned opposition members and journalists, banned parties, fixed elections... Support is there, but let's not pretend it's so overwhelming -- in the last two elections, he failed to reach the supermajorities he craved and was forced to reshuffle an unpopular government. Despite all sorts of shocks, there is a quantifiable amount of people resisting his rule. Hopefully this won't change after these horrifying purges.
