Yes. But different types of politics have different witches to be hunting. So a statement inflammatory in one place can be non-combustible in another.

We all know very well that one faction involves itself in moral crusades while waving the diversity flag. That is why the term Social Justice Warrior was coined. That would be the people who unironically use the phrase 'white trash'.

Ask HN: What Investment Could Be Next Big Thing Like Bitcoin, Ethereum, etc.?
I'm curious - I keep thinking ... If I'd bought bitcoin, or ethereum early on, or if I'd invested in Apple in 1998 what would my life be like...

What are some modern day investments that you think could end up like Bitcoin or Ethereum someday, but are currently cheap to buy in?
What are people doing with their chargers? My first one failed because I kept pulling at the cord instead of the head. My next ~5-6 chargers have been great.
> given my experience I can't help but wonder... what are people doing with their chargers?

Forcefully bending their cables when winding them around the charger, or tensioning the cable under the little plastic bracket. Also, there are actually several manufacturers of the various generations of Apple chargers, with subtle differences in the materials used.

Somewhat of a nit - in many cases the remaining employees don't pay via dilution for a fired employee keeping his/her stock.

The option pool is set up beforehand and if the company sells or goes public and there is still equity left in the pool, there are a lot of things that can happen such as the founders or investors getting the chance to buy it out. Only if the company ends up expanding the options pool by allocating more shares would the employees (as well as founders) get diluted. And if the company is public they might do a buyback to expand the employee equity pool so nobody gets diluted.
3.75ppm, but yes - to be clear, worldwide emissions are continuing to increase, so the CO2 level should be rising by more and more every year.

If we can level off our greenhouse emissions (and we're very close), the CO2 level should continue to rise each year, but at a roughly-constant rate.

And if the world can get approach net-zero greenhouse emissions (a reasonable goal for 2050), the CO2 level should stop growing.

And then, we would need a few centuries of negative greenhouse emissions to get back to pre-industrial temperatures.
I suspect we'll never bother to do this.
I saw trustworthy, loyal, and my mind immediately filled in the rest. I haven't had anything to do with Boy Scouts in over 20 years and I still remembered it flawlessly.

It's a shame the clean rule isn't found in programming languages more. I really like low noise syntax of Python, Coffeescript, and Elm but it seems like it is not really being adopted.

One advantage of non-human-readable error messages is that they are easier to Google. Microsoft's compiler warning and error messages all have unique error codes like C1234, which make them easier to find on sites like MSDN or Stack Overflow.

It would be nice to know what that bias might be. For example, "bias towards truth" is different than "bias towards restoring the US to British monarchy."

Mother Jones is of course a politically progressive magazine, so there's a bias in the topics they cover. But that sort of bias says nothing about the quality of the coverage. The Economist is also 'incredibly biased' in what it cover, and they do good job of it as well.

Similarly, Mother Jones wins awards, like the National Magazine Awards.

> We report from all side of an issue. We do investigations into things that people on the left or the Democrats wish we wouldn’t. And all of our journalism is fact-checked, sourced, and linked through. Facts are what we do, and statistical data analysis journalism is a big part of what we do. So I don’t see that part either. And we don’t really lace our reporting with opinion. It’s more, we’re a shop that cares about the little guy and inequality. So that informs some, but by no means all, of our story selection.
I have tried them a few times but it's a lot of work finding the items where they are actually significantly cheaper than Amazon. They also don't have reviews and the item descriptions are often really short and incomplete.

I don't think they are even close to Amazon.
Or you may make even more money if the acquirer is a public company and you know when to sell. Stocks are an opportunity that can accelerate your net worth by a double digit multiplier if you, as an employee, know where to bet your time and expertise.
There was a 1 percent increase for women and blacks in technical jobs.

No, there was a 1 percentage point increase, not 1 percent. That's an over 14 percent increase (using their grossly round numbers).
So you believe that adding up all election and/or legislation-influencing activities would reveal that CCPOA is the largest actor in California politics, despite the fact that even in above-board registered lobbying the oil industry spent $22 million last year? I think your claim requires some substantiation.
This would be an argument if MS Office were compatible to this degree with its own previous versions, which it just isn't.

There's no excuse for literally not even naming the versions of the software in question, let alone describing the actual problem, if one is going to take time out of one's furiously demanding work day to post a troll comment.

Installation isn't even half the battle. Updates are the killer thing in the Python world that even seasoned Django devs (raises hand) get wrong every so often.

Sure, you can `pip install -Ur requirements.txt` but will it work? Do I need to set up continuous integration? Testing servers? What happens when there are backwards incompatibilities between elements?

As things are you need a Django dev on staff to run a Django website. There is no dev-deploy-dump process that Wordpress "designers" get to enjoy. It's constant.

To really compete, Django (not just Django CMS, IMO) needs environment monitoring, testing and upgrading baked in. Many will argue that it's not its job —and they aren't wrong— but nobody else seems to be willing to do this in a way that anything but a seasoned programmer capable of running.
A system built with the same peak flops using GPUs would actually be more useful than what they built. The Sunway TaihuLight processing elements have 64KB scratchpad, no data cache, and have less memory bandwidth than Nvidia Fermi (7 years old.)

For most applications the processing elements will be so starved for data that they are just an idle waste of energy.

All the charging circuitry resides in the laptop itself, the AC adapter is just a power supply. The reason why there is all this complexity is the MagSafe connector that makes it physically trivial to short the power pins together, which given the power levels involved might very well be plausible fire hazard.
We've decided that remote code execution bugs should be a solved problem class now? Fascinating. I'm sure the sendmail dev team will be delighted by this news.
> Why is the approach of a cliff followed by getting a small amount of your stock every month afterwards not sufficient?

I think it is. My point is either a longer cliff or backloaded vesting would be a more transparent replacement for "90 day exercise window for X years, 10 year window after that".

What you may not realize is that under the 90 day exercise window term, you don't actually "get" a small amount of stock every month. But that's exactly what most people think happens. In truth, you may lose it all.

It is clearer to say "vesting = you get it", and then spell out the vesting terms clearly and directly. If you think people should actually be able to walk with 20%-25% of their grant after 1 year, like what their vesting schedule implies, then cool. If you think people should actually stay longer than that like what the 90 day rule kind of enforces as a side effect, then ok, no judgement, but make it transparent. Call it a multi-year cliff or a 10/20/30/40 vesting schedule, whatever clearly states the expectations. But "vesting" should always mean "you get it".
>Health should not be for-profit.

Yeah, it should be public like Canada, where I've been on a waiting list for 2 years just to get a family doctor...

Fun Won't Get It Done
I think this is very desirable. 5 years of solid engineering under the same title / company is desirable when looking for a mature developer.
actually most IP is pretty misleading anyways.

sure there are good IP examples but since the 21th century the most stuff is over patented.

especially design shapes. most development will lead to the "optimal" design anyways maybe not "exactly" the same but the same as it would threaten somebodies IP.
software patents, too. so much stuff that is patented that you will probably have a really hard way to come up with a new video codec without violating "something".

patents should be invalidated based on "evolution" of triviality and state of the art, but they will never be since somebody will pay a huge amount to just keep this stuff.

and that just applies to IP in "our" world. In other stuff it's even worse.
It's a real shame oculus has gone down this path. Previously I thought VR was a dumb gimmick that wouldn't go anywhere. After getting a vive though my mind has completely changed. I hope the other companies getting into the space don't try to ruin it.
Risk assessment is really hard for individuals. If we did it rationally we'd never get anywhere. But I think "money in the bank" and "defense in depth" are pretty good rules of thumb. In the end your goal on any one investment is to not lose.
Are there any good studies on how much options motivate employees? I assume there are a large percentage of employees who value options at zero.
Yep, keep having them. Facebook needs masses.
The main idea about Wallarm is to get inner knowledge of how the application works and how users use it. Based on this data, we craft dynamic rules for every single applications or API.

The simplest example is what data transmitted in different parameters of the form field or API calls. For example, it's OK if someone put an SQL Injection payload at Stack-overflow site in the form writing a security-related article. It can be a normal behavior. Meanwhile, SQL injection payload is probably a malicious thing for a login form at your bank website.

We wouldn't ban request only if it is sent with curl. There is a set of different factors and statistics that are taken into the account. E.g. if you run this requests too quickly and it is sent with curl, it can be considered as a malicious activity.
"But what if some of the best candidates aren't getting hired ..."

But what if they are and current racial composition just reflects that?

If there are talented minority coders who are overlooked by Google/Apple, it should be possible to exploit this market inefficiency, no need to enforce it.

But what if some of the best candidates aren't getting hired because companies overlooked them while trying to hire alongside racial quotas? Seems much more likely.

I suspect there'd be a strong selection bias where the only people who'd continue to drive manually would be the better (or at least more attentive) drivers.

To enforce that, you could make the licensing regime more like an FAA private pilot rating and less like a token ritual for access to your God-given right to drive no matter how incompetent.

There are private mental hospitals. They're the ones that are merely pretty bad places to be, but that look nice enough and seem like they'd be tolerable for a short length of time. Most public mental hospitals are terrible places; if I was going to spend a significant portion of my life in such places and knew it that'd be enough to make me depressed all by itself.

There are lots of people in prison who would be better off in mental hospitals but you need to be committed to go to a mental hospital. They're not nice places. Few people are going to voluntarily commit themselves, and that's before considering that (a) They check if you're doing something suicidal every 15 minutes so you get neither sleep nor privacy (b) Lots of psychiatric drugs are hideous. The side effect profiles of anti-psychotics are such that being schizophrenic can look fine.

As to the patients/inmates and facilities you're wrong. A mental hospital looks like a hospital, not a prison, inside and out. They'll have better security than a normal hospital but the comparison is absurd if you've visited both, or even just seen both on tv. And the inmates at a penal institution are enormously more violent that the patients at mental hospitals.
Honestly I think the best thing you can do towards making good commits is having a good GUI client and using it well.

What I do is, after I'm done making a mess of things, I click through each new/changed file and study the diff. I might need to commit or discard or edit specific chunks, but at the end everything is staged. Then I can click through the staged files quickly to check for mistakes while formulating a good commit message.

(You could also use DIFF=vimdiff or something too)

I find looking at individual hunks and files and staging them piecewise makes it much easier to maintain an attention to detail than doing a 'git diff' where everything flows together and 'git commit -a' where you might miss untracked or temporary files.
Just peut some tape where it wears off... It works like a charm!
For packaged things sure, but who wants someone else picking out potentially crummy vegetables/fruit/meats? Do you inspect them while they arrive, and then what about rejecting them? Looking through produce and meats is part of the market shopping process.
Well, the simple RP/HI process that turns ephedrine into meth works to turn codeine into desomorphine, and it's not really as if IV desomorphine will rot your limbs off.. but all sorts of things left in the cooked up sludge (sometimes basified using CIGARETTE ASH.. omg..) def will..

The point of attack was not. You won't regularly see hackers stealing $100 million through a bank in the U.S. or compromising all its members. You will see Bitcoin exchanges regularly suffer major losses. It's not the exception like Bangladesh: it's the rule. Hence my counterpoint.

Deploying Swarms of Drones with Self-Driving Trucks
Let's hope it doesn't turn out to be a 417.
I read a lot of comments and think, knee-jerk reaction. Some comments I see seem to me to be born from ignorance. I really was torn whether I wanted to speak out regarding this topic, but I decided that maybe the good would outweigh the bad.

I have been on federal probation and my experience with it is at that level and not with the state of New York. So, I can only give you my perspective and opinions regarding the topic.

During my time on supervision, I was initially not allowed to have a smart phone, nor was I allowed to use the Internet. Over time, as I earned the trust of my PO, these things were allowed, however with the caveat that my use of them would be monitored with software running that logged everything. This was because my crime involved a "misuse" of the Internet. It also was because I had been locked away from the internet for over 8 years, and that my re-introduction to it needed to be gradual. The intention was for me to learn to manage myself for when I would not have someone telling me what I should and shouldn't do.

I have been off probation for 2-1/2 years now. I just recently tried Pokemon Go, mainly because I was interested in the business advertising aspect of it, and didn't find it very engaging for me. I did learn about Ingress, though, and that game was like crack for me and I finally had to uninstall it.

So, here's my take regarding the game and sex offenders:

Sex offenders tend to not see things or think about things the way normal people do. They have a 'tilt' or a dis-conjunction to their thinking processes, that tend to make them susceptible to fantasy thinking. They see make-believe as reality, and that is partly why they think themselves into committing their crime(s).

Pokemon Go (and Ingress) represent a form of make-believe that can allow a sex offender to disconnect from the importance that they have to be very careful once back in society. Running up to a location while staring at your phone can put a sex offender into a bad "relapse danger" situation, such as wandering into a group of children. While the offender may not have any intention of reoffending, it could be similar to a recovering coke addict walking into a party where there are lines cut up on the coffee table.

For myself, I think that New York is wise to do this.

>but are currently cheap to buy in?

It's utterly unpredictable. There are literally thousands individual of stocks that were once cheap, most of them completely unknown companies, businesses or markets. Spread your money around and you'll win some (and lose some).

The other problem is "getting out". It's one thing thing to catch lightning in a bottle, but a whole other to pull the trigger and sell to capture your gains. FOMO and all that.

Several comments allude to liquidation preference / stock-participation for preferred stock holders.

While both of these terms do bite into the common share stake, as others have pointed out, their effect is model-able; so you can see where you stand under different exit scenarios. Ask your employer, or get access to something like Pitchbook, to find out:

1. The amount of $ raised from investors, along with the % of equity in common vs preferred shares.

2. The liquidation preference (1.0x is common) for preferred.

3. Whether the preferred stock participates (not doing so is common).

4. What % of common equity your grant represents.

You'll then be able to draw a payout diagram (like this[1], written by Andy Rachleff) showing how much you'll make for different exit prices. Be aware that under some complexities, like the fact that later rounds will cause dilution and that certain exit scenarios scenarios (like acquisitions) may trigger a different liquidation preference for preferred stock.

Right but the person who left was their earlier, during a riskier time, then probability of failure was greater. So they jumped in when others might have thought twice (remember most startups fail). Aren't those options a reward for that?

I'm open to such advice as well (going through similar experience). Feel free to ping me at radley@cloud.tv
It's not really that your device draws more than the claimed wattage, it's how the power arrives.

Resistance is proportional to current (I = V/R) so drawing 100W at 240v will result in a lower resistance than 100W at 110v. In an ideal world this doesn't matter but the real world had wires with resistance etc.

This means if you draw your peak current at peak voltage you're using as little current as possible, but if the peak current is offset you'll be drawing more amps than you would if you were in phase.

This causes parasitic losses in the distribution network and makes utilities grumpy, amongst other things.
That would tie in cleanly with an IOC container.
> This is the easy part - capturing exceptions. Handling them, and returning control with the machine state intact, is the messy part.

Yeah, I plan to tackle this in the next post: Compiling without red zone, saving/restoring all relevant registers, and disabling SSE instructions in the kernel to speed things up.

> (It's late to be writing an operating system with demand paging. The most paging ever accomplishes is the illusion of 2X the RAM. RAM is cheap today. The price you pay for paging is random large delays in your program. Is it worth it to save some RAM cost? Mobile devices and real-time OSs don't demand-page.)

I'm not sure if I really want to implement demand paging, I've just used it as an example. In the next post we will only implement lazy page mapping, so that we no longer need to preinitialize the complete kernel heap.
