"...shocking reality Europeans discover moving in San Francisco..."

I had an Aussie partner. He came to the USA for the laissez-faire paradise. He explained it was relatively tougher for startups down under. I believe him.

Seeing our (USA) squalor, day in and day out, he began to doubt. Rhetorically, he asked "If this is the result, maybe Aussie's high taxes aren't so bad."
That's true, but in that case "keep adopting kids" would also work.
There's an approach called "T-learning": be deep in a single topic, but still maintain the broad outlook.

With some luck, you can turn it into Ш-learning later.
I already addressed these claims in my original comment. The claim may be 100% true on a very literal level: Clinton defended him for some definition of success (her success, not his), and laughed at the case for some definition of laughing at a large span of time (laughed at some specific aspects of some specific events).

To me, the article used the technical accuracy to paint her as a person who had zero issues defending a sexual predator on a personal level with a lacadaisical attitude. This can't be further from the truth: she was ethically obligated to give a good defense. That she was able to find some humor is just human and arguably necessary for a job defending morally repugnant people.

If the value of the blog is its ability to be utterly pedantic about language while ignoring context, implication, and personal bias, perhaps they should re evaluate their brand as an ethics watchdog.

This strikes me as ad hominen, you're evaluating the person, not their advice. "Bad people can't give honest testimony."
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ad_hominem

In fact, I think there's a strong argument for getting advice from people who have failed, because, they have lived through failure cases and I'd expect can help you avoid them.

"Successful" people could be either privileged, lucky, or both, and their success may not be due to what they attribute it to.

I think you want to collect as much data as you need to draw strong conclusions.

I therefore favor the adage, "Who is wise? He who learns from everyone."
Not just bizarre, but actively backwards.

There's a decent amount of conflict between people advocating "no one is gendered" postgenderism and transgender people going "I'm suffering for my gender identity, get out of here with that nonsense". I'm a bit baffled by the claim that "I am gender A, not gender B" is somehow a call for "abolition of gender".
Everyone replying to this so far is fun at parties, I'm sure of it.
The answer is both. This is the "T-shaped person" archetype who has broad but shallow knowledge of many areas, which gives them a toehold from which to tackle any problem, and deep knowledge of a few areas, allowing them to work on complex problems.
Indeed. And yet you keep seeing articles from NY Times, Bloomberg, and even Reuters, with an almost negative tone about how the EU basically wants to destroy American companies by putting some more regulations on them or daring to investigate them for anti-trust or tax avoidance.

And here comes China that basically says from the start to all foreign companies: "You give us half, or you're out. Take it or leave it. And we still get to impose whatever regulations, official or unofficial, want, depending on our mood. We'll also turn a blind eye to local Chinese companies completely ripping off your technology. Sounds good?"
Title tag could clear most of confusion. Upvote has it.
Don't take advice from people more successful than you, because the factors that led to their success may be irrelevant or counterproductive for you.
Tack economic in front of the two words and they make sense in the context. economic liberal (aka, lets private business do their thing unchecked) and economic progressive (everything is a exchange).

Basically take terms we are used to see used in a social context, and reframe them to a economic context without informing the reader/listener.
Verizon is one of the ISPs that engaged/engages in intentional removal of peering connections. Netflix is a signature example of this.
Just because it serves a purpose doesnt mean it shouldn't be criticized.
We would like to enable a lower polling interval, but wanted to see the general response before doing that.

In fact, we would like to enable:

1. A lambda function support to transform APIs (diffing to only append new data, adding meta data, removing unnecessary fields) before they get streamed.

2. Polling frequencies of up to 1s.

3. Custom domains for the resulting streaming endpoints.
It might be, with nearly inevitable retirement schemes crash.
I can not disagree with this article more, and I do not mean with his experiences, that is fine, embrace your feelings. But to pretend that China _solves_ these social problems is a farce. China _jails_ these social problems. China _forces_ these social problems to work in mines and other forced labor industries. China _censors_ anybody who questions it. They have a god damn firewall blocking people from finding any information on their government's ills. Talk about a walled garden, or should I say a firewalled garden.

He is in such a privileged position in China. He is a white man with money. He is the _elite_ in Beijing that he so quickly judges in San Francisco. Wake up man, you are the powerful in Beijing, you are the analog to the guy living in the million dollar apartment in SFO.

San Francisco, and the United States has many surface problems, but many of these problems are due to being _liberal_ when it comes to homelessness and mentally ill. Can the USA do better? Of course, without a doubt. But it is such a false equvilancy to compare the laissez faire problems of the west with the oppressive problems of China.
Are we no longer allowed to use our own experiences when evaluating new information anymore? If a news source has consistently acted in such a manner, are we not able to use our past experiences with them to shape our opinions of their reporting?
This may be nice, but it makes me extremely uncomfortable to have this ran by a company on a server that knows my phone number.

It looks like its also skipping any sort of encryption and is instead just using sms messages.

I'd also suggest to be cautious of risk-taking advice from people far more successful than you, as they often have sufficient wealth / network / environment to weather the storm, that you may not.

EDIT: Seems I'm not alone in that thought ;)
How long did it take to get that offer, from when you started looking?
Not to mention that Django is a framework and WordPress is an application. It's like comparing a box of Legos with a box of unmolded plastic and then declaring that the former is easier to play with.
Basically, a prominent founder who had previously battled Amazon.

That led to a ton of funding which allowed for extremely aggressive marketing and customer acquisition, not to mention plenty of media coverage.

If anyone can battle Amazon, it's probably Jet. I can see why Walmart would want Jet (and Marc) in their camp.

She may also be learning! You're discounting experiential learning aka learning on the job. Also, she may be reading books relevant to work, including domain-specific books, management books, pop-sci management books, etc. I think the spirit of the article is great, but the definition of learning is rather narrow.
It is quite relevant, as everything they do is shaped through that past lens.
Is this a remote capable position? It is not stated in the listing.
I don't think that's fair. We live in an attention economy, where the rare few are good at getting noticed.
I think he means: don't put off having kids because the near-to-mid-term outlook is iffy. Your kids (he says!) won't be super expensive until the long-term, and since there's no way to know what that looks like, there's no reason to put it off.
For me, I've found its / it's is a class of mistake that I never made when writing by hand, however, now that I type almost everything, and have a decent typing speed, I just sort of get whichever one comes out. This happens in a number of other cases (their, they're there). If I'm typing at a stream of consciousness speed I start making all kinds of rudimentary mistakes from what I can only assume is a corrupted mental lookup table :)

My impression is that many of those buyers don't even set foot in Vancouver. It's just an investment for them.
That's a counter-indicator for the success of startups. We saw the same thing in the game industry in the late 90s: the consolidation of power into a few mega-players means the small fry all get wiped out or bought for scrap.
That's great, another one of those things that I've never found the right term to articulate but lines up very well with my intuitive understanding.

Going wide also has benefits as you'll stumble across things that have surprising application in the areas where you've gone deep.

The ability to live for 6 months on your savings. So, expenses I guess.
Exactly this. It's about finding a balance: know enough about a specific topic that you're a go-to person ("an expert") and enough about other topics to understand the context and opportunities for your area of expertise.

Too much focus and you can't see the forest for the trees. Too much general knowledge and you're a jack of all trades, master of none.

Finally, note that "balance" is subjective. It's the balance that works for you and where you want to go. Deep, focused experts are valued. Generalists are valued. Find your niche.
Perhaps its all in good nature, but anything that Walmart touches I don't want to be a part of.
I wouldn't agree with any of that, especially not the first part!

We even have a tutorial series especially aimed at non-Python programmers: https://www.django-cms.org/en/blog/2016/02/16/build-a-websit...

The trickier part is deployment, which is where WordPress (all PHP, really) truly shines for ease-of-use - and this is where our Docker-based Aldryn Cloud platform intends to bridge the gap, by making that just as easy for Python/Django users.
That doesn't make it any less terrible, but honestly who expects more from homebrew, as a project it's hardly the pinnacle of engineering excellence.

Coinbase uses cold storage. They have some reserves in hot storage, but presumably less funds accessable makes them a smaller target. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe they are able to pull this off because they aren't technically an exchange. Coinbase Exchange may be all in hot storage, but they provide a seamless way to transmit your exchange reserves to a cold storage backed wallet.
It removed an exclamation mark!
Well, she didn't win the case, and the laughter was at how she would never trust a polygraph again.

But the accused wasn't convicted of rape, and that polygraph was to do with the case.

There is both truth and false there. If you look at the original meme it is pretty clear there is more false than true:

She didn't volunteer to defend the rapist (FALSE)

She didn't make up a story that the woman enjoyed the rape, although she did ask for the woman to be assessed by a psychologist. (MOSTLY FALSE)

He served jail time, but he was freed, and it was after a plea-bargain (EVEN, but I'd tend towards more false than true here)

She did seem to know he was guilty (TRUE)

She didn't laugh about him being guilty (Note the phrasing in the meme is "she knew he was guilty. And she laughed about it") (FALSE)

So one true statement, one even, one mostly false and two false statements.

I'd say "Mostly False" is fair overall.
Containerization as the necessary endpoint of deployment automation
I just did a phone interview for someone whose resume was littered with small grammatical and spelling errors. It's too bad, because she was really pretty articulate, if only middling when it came to technical chops. But the lack of attention to detail in her resume was enough for me to take a hard pass on her; even if it wouldn't ever reflect on her code, it would very likely reflect on her diligence as an engineer and her technical documentation.

If your resume isn't grammatically perfect, I'm going to have serious reservations about you. If you can't take the time to proofread the living hell out of a one page document that's supposed to be a summary of your entire career and supposed to make me notice you, how am I supposed to expect you'll put in that attention when it matters for your job?

4 reasons, why Mobile apps fail businesses

We don't all work for these 4 companies.

There's lots of fluctuations in oil/energy, car makers are predicting slow downs (which may have bigger implications in the near future), Brexit effects are still being felt and worked out, and our own Fed doesn't seem confident enough in the near term economy to commit to raising interest rates in the near future.
That's the true hacker spirit!
Yes, the wording is a little weird in my post.

But nobody has argued that all lives don't matter. Nobody has argued that black lives matter more than any other lives. It is not the statement itself that is offensive, it is the hashtag used to deny systemic racism by shouting over people attempting to raise visibility to a minority cause--often unarmed black men being brutalized or shot and killed by police.

It's like someone gets hurt, and then you start talking about how everyone gets hurt, too, instead of giving the person help. Perhaps there are better ways to communicate the initial half but I haven't been able to figure out a better brand off the top of my head.

Edit: also I think the reason the #AllLivesMatter movement has been so successful is because who wouldn't agree with that statement? You must think not all lives matter! Which is a little silly and, I think, is intended as self-reassurance that these #AllLivesMatter proponents can self-love as the #BlackLivesMatter movement self-loves.

I think they've been spending a lot of money getting new users. They've been offering new accounts discounts, I think you can get 15% to 20% off right now. They've had a bunch of items show up on some discount shopping forums like slickdeals. I think they've lost money on some purchases.
Wouldn't it be better if the bus' wheels latched on to the actual sides of the road, like say fences/concrete walls on each side of the road?

Walmart has been offering 3rd party sellers/products for more than a few months now, if I had to guess. I bought a USB cable from Cable Matters, but the names of some of the companies/sellers on Walmart's website also lead me to believe they are selling products which aren't certified and have the correct components to be safe with our devices.

>On the negative side, though, I did feel that New Yorkers (and by this point in my life, Americans in general) could be hard to get close to - easy to approach, but hard to connect with.

I have found this to be true, especially after living in Germany and finding somewhat the opposite: people are hard to approach, but once you get to know them, you connect with them on a much deeper level than I ever did with people in the US. But of course, these generalizations certainly don't apply to all Americans/Germans.
I find myself thinking about this when i compare US tech news and European tech news. More often than not, the US side have some quick buck angle, or "sugar water" consumption goal. Jump over to Europe and things seems to have more of a assistance angle.

You don't even have to skew the results, you can impart bias just by choosing which stories to research. I've always liked the way Howard Zinn put it in the afterword to A People's History of the United States:

>But there is no such thing as a pure fact, innocent of interpretation. Behind every fact presented to the world—by a teacher, a writer, anyone—is a judgment. The judgment that has been made is that this fact is important, and that other facts, omitted, are not important.

Ask HN: How many site visitors per day does your business get?
The the technical lead for a SAAS startup and I'm trying to justify to my non-technical cofounders that we need more "shots on goal". They are more interested in me making our site perfect, but I'm trying to argue none of that matters if we don't get people to come to the site.

Currently we have a few hundred visitors a day, which seems like 0 visitors when you factor in bots and visits by our own team. If you don't mind me asking, how many visitors a day does your business have?
My point isn't that there's always new things to discover, it's that nature has so routinely made fools of us that the argument of "it's obvious" should carry little weight.

The ribbon is just a non-standard interface that almost no other programs use -- even on Windows, and certainly not on other platforms. It's unneeded. And the thing is, if people did copy it, Microsoft would probably just change it anyway. That's really Microsoft's strategy -- to keep people chasing after it. But why bother? They don't really control the industry any more.
It's all part of the creation of globalized culture. Just as billions of daily active users on Facebook, global blockbusters that don't use a lot of language to be localizable in all the different markets — we're slowly, but steadily entering the age where humanity is truly no longer divided along country, language or culture lines.

And it's affecting higher classes earlier than lower; the same effect was already in place in early 19th century across the whole Europe's fashionable salons, with the same interior design fashions and french books. Now it's truly spreading to middle class: it's not only about lattes, it's also about cultural and social values, TV shows that we watch and books that we read.

And in my humblest of opinions, all things considered, this can only be a good thing.

http://www.cnn.com/videos/us/2016/06/17/man-shot-killed-whil...

Where he was live streaming to Facebook while being shot by police. If the police can prevent streams like these from being seen, it gives them a huge legal advantage. It means the public won't be able to see what happened and can't put political pressure on DAs to prosecute cops. It's much better for them if they can keep that footage internal to Facebook, the police force, and the DA if at all possible.

Very smart.
