Since perryh2 mentioned his 401k, I'll point out that you can't necessarily assume too much as far as the respective branding when you're talking about basis points on these funds from the various companies.

The institutional funds that some 401ks carry can be cheaper than what's available to the general public. I'm pretty sure the Vanguard S&P 500 fund in my 401k is at 0.03%. The government employee Thrift Savings Plan's C fund charges 0.029% for an S&P 500 fund, managed by Blackrock, but I don't think you'll get that as a member of the general public. I'm sure you could find Fidelity and other funds in similar situations.

This is all somewhat relevant since those of us in the US can contribute many more tax-free dollars to our 401ks than our IRAs, sadly.
This is... Not necessarily true. I've known some really great cooks that have to have a cleaning staff.
My thought, exactly.

With a dual-conversion UPS, I don't believe that there'll be any noise from the power grid.
Another vapid AI story...lovely. The "...more human" in the title is just clickbait that makes it seem like Google and co. are on the cusp of developing a human-like AI which, of course, is not the case at all. And romance novels are the finest example of "more human" literature that they could come up with? Right. Also, the "more" before human implies a human-like AI is desirable...the more "human" the better. Really...why is that? There is a limit to the "really cool shit" tech companies can pile on the market before it becomes repetitive and, well, boring. The internet of things being a case in point. Who wants to buy an internet capable toaster or can opener for its own sake? The whole "tech is a fount of limitless awesomeness that will save the world" thing has been way oversold.
As long as we're mentioning Japanese resources, here are my favs (all paper):

* A Dictionary of Basic/Intermediate/Advanced Japanese Grammar, Makino and Tsutsui. These have 99% of all of the grammar you will ever need, and they are packed with lots of helpful example sentences.

* Remembering the Kanji, Volumes I and II (III is extra credit), James W. Heisig. Keep in mind you need about a month of dedicated brain time for volume I (great for ALT jobs!), and volume II can then be repeatedly skimmed afterwards while engaging with real texts.

* Making Sense of Japanese, Jay Rubin. He has a way of explaining concepts that seem weird to English speakers.

* Colloquial Kansai Japanese, D.C. Palter. It is not very fun to get to Japan and realize they don't talk like the text books. If you get the basics of Kansai you'll be less lost in all of western Japan, which shares a lot of features, plus you'll be more aware of the types of variation that are possible.

* Polite Fictions, Nancy Sakamoto. This book is getting old, but as long as you remember that times change and culture is a continuum this is a fantastic introduction to group culture.

Actually, the first book I learned Japanese from was "Speak Japanese Today," by Taeko Kamiya. It's meant for business travelers and gets you set up with the basics without using the native orthography. I read it when I was 13. Good memories.
unrelated, but does anyone know how does a websearch of the article works around and displays the aticle on the wsj site while clicking on the link takes the user to the "subscribed aricle" page?
While the headline is designed to spark outrage, after reading the article, not only do I understand why the sentence is so light, I'm glad it is. The police were way out of line and completely disregarded the accused's rights. The only effective way to incentivize the police/prosecutors not to behave this way is to let people we strongly believe to be guilty all but get away with it. No monetary fine has ever been effective in changing public servants' behavior, and threat of being fired doesn't seem effective either. We have to admit that criminalizing rights violations in any but the most egregious circumstances is unreasonable and could barely be enforced, let alone passed as legislation for political reasons. So what choice does society have left to change this behavior but leverage bad actors' conscience and, frankly, pride, by throwing away their hard work? (Well, the work was not hard enough, that's the point.) Society must bear the cost as well, but as long as it does so consistently, then the cost will be worth it.

Code is not an asset, is a liability.
Code that you own you need to maintain.

There's only so much code that you can realistically own and maintain. If you are smart, you will seek ways of owning strictly what you need, which is the code closer to the core of your business.

If there is code that you need and is not close to the core of your business and does not provide a competitive advantage, open source it.

The worse code always comes from lack of visibility and accountability. Open source promotes visibility and accountability and keeps things working and clean.

A culture of accountability and strong technical skills attracts talent and keeps the company competitive.
That is factually correct.
A "human-like" AI is only 20 years away! Or was that the singularity...or maybe it was cold fusion, I can never remember. Anyway, in 20 years all these things will still be only 20 years away.

Because some of these venues also run lighting rigs in the order of magnitude of 100KW and probably don't have the space/money/expertise to install a UPS with that power capacity.
Isn't it actually (1+.0025)^(1/12) - 1, not 0.0025/12?
Doesn't matter, this is plainly grasping at straws for the sake of argument.
Amusingly, I've been informed that my company's corporate overlords have decided to focus on growing Vancouver as their "centralized" west-coast-development location, rather than Seattle, primarily due to salaries.

So I guess we'll have to see if that works out for them.
This is exactly the biggest downfall of the Larrabee/Phi programming model. The claim that you can just deploy your CPU code is simply wrong if vectorization isn't taken into account. I'd argue it's worse than porting it to GPU if you start with code that's "naively" parallelized for CPU with OpenMP statements without unrolling/vector intrinsics. The reason is that the actual kernel code can stay the same for CUDA, or it can be relatively easily transformed (something I'm working on [1]) - just take whatever was inside your OpenMP loops and move it into a CUDA kernel. Meanwhile for Phi I'd have to now care about two levels of parallelism instead of just one (multicore/vector).

The entire reason why GPU has been so successful, is that its performance is relatively predictable compared to x86 cores because of its much simpler architecture - and putting hundreds of them on a single chip doesn't change that. Granted, there are applications that will perform better on KNL than GPU (I expect), because it has a somewhat greater degree of freedom (although the bandwidth you get when actually using that freedom will be a deciding factor on whether it's actually worth it over the latest CPUs in those cases).

> Haven't upgraded to SP1 yet. If there's still typing telemetry thing without any concrete official explanation whatsover of how it works then that's still a problem

There isn't any evidence of typing telemetry. I haven't seen any technical assessment that suggests otherwise, just click bait assumptions it is there. The only place keystrokes get sent that we know of is the Cortana field for web searches, and you can turn that off even pre-SP1.
Wow. This is one of the most bizarre comments I've ever seen on HN, and I think you really mean it.

This is a valid concern - due to not only differing grounds but also the transients/hf noise created from ten- and hundred-KW lighting dimmer systems, audio and lighting power must be kept seperate
The other option would be to treat the time invested as part of the company's seed and treat it separate from the founder's equity. So figure out a relatively low salary, use it to convert the time spent to dollars and then give an equivalent amount of shares based on the valuation when the seed funding was raised. Give the other founders the option to invest money in the company in lieu of time at the same terms.

I know this could result in one founder having more equity than the other(s), but I don't see how this can be considered unfair to any of the founders.

The problem is that there is no consistency when it comes to our justice system. The only reason that the evidence was ruled inadmissible is because an attorney was good enough to make the case. For every CEO there are hundreds of poor people of color who are unfairly discriminated against and have no recourse available.
Acetaminophen is one of the more dangerous over the counter drugs available. It is right up there with alcohol for causing liver failure.

http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/liver-failure/...

The tricky thing with acetaminophen is that it is included in products without adequate warning. If I'm sick, I have a headache and take 2 tylenol, plus cold medicine, plus whatever, and BAM I've killed my liver because those 3 things all had acetaminophen in it. The tipping point between being 100% healthy, and 100% needing a liver transplant is really narrow.

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2064964/Warning-hidd...

http://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/health/a235/esq1103-nov-bod...

Nevermind what acetaminophen does to fetuses, this drug needs to be treated with a lot more caution. I have dialed my intake waaaaaaay back. I'm sure my liver is happier with me.

If you take tylenol, make sure you take no more than the suggested dose. Make sure you aren't getting duplicate dosing bundled with other medications. Make sure you don't routinely take it longer than the bottle dose instructions indicate.
No, 5%.

It'd be 4% if it were "four times as likely".

Personally I also browse with javascript disabled and thought the mandatory JS was silly. Hence I did view source, and lo and behold it is a tiddly wiki, with 2MB of html containing every article.

My understanding of securities law is that intent is 95%. If you're doing market manipulation "just to make money" (instead of, say, to buy a company? Not really sure) then it's illegal.
Why does everyone on Hacker New think we should have some sort of "angry mob rule" where people who weren't privy to the actual evidence and hearings decide how outrageous a crime is and have an Internet Poll to see what the punishment should be?

Why do most of the people here hate the right to a trial, the right to face your accused, and the right of a hearing to determine sentencing?
Useful Scraping Techniques
It was more expedient to start with the Plan 9 tool chain that we had at the time. Ken was already familiar with the code base, which was small and compiled quickly (a few seconds). Because of this we got a lot done quickly, knowing that we would eventually modernize the compiler.
And therein lies the heart of the phenomenon. Much evil has been done by good people telling themselves that they can prevent evil by wielding evil's power themselves.

Crime can never be totally prevented. Building a tool that attempts to do so will not stop politicians clamoring for even more totalitarianism when the inevitable does happen.
Ok, I'll bite.
In recording studios, you will sometimes find 'technical power' which is delivered on balanced wiring from an isolation transformer. This is rarely seen outside of radio and television studios, though. Many performing arts spaces have a simpler version, of dedicated outlets for power amplifiers that are on an isolation transformer if anything, but usually just a separate run to the main panel - this is mostly just to avoid the ground loop problem, as you mentioned, as well as to avoid certain kinds of noise that amplifiers might pick up.

I doubt that the isolation gained from having one's own pole transformer is any better than what an isolation transformer gets you. You'd still be subject to any noise or trouble in the distribution-level wiring, and at the end of the day I think most of the problematic electrical issues you could have in audio are going to originate in your own house anyway. It's probably much better bang for your buck to put your audio equipment on a nearby isolation transformer, which are not necessarily cheap but certainly don't run in the five figures (or at least not until they get very large).

But with these kinds of audiophiles, bang for your buck isn't what it's about. Having known some audiophile extremists like this, at least in my limited experience, it's just a status symbol.

Edit: As an anecdote about amp noise, while lighting is a pretty big issue most permanent venues have their lighting well-segregated into a central dimmer rack anyway. The most notable time I got an angry noise out of an amplifier is when I accidentally plugged a hydraulic manlift into a poorly labelled amp rack socket. When I went to ascend, the noise from the house speakers made me just about jump out of my skin, to the great amusement of my coworkers.
Thanks to the Go team, getting such an improvement without having to do anything is awesome. And I can't believe there is more coming in 1.8
No. A digital to analog converter (DAC) is used to convert digital audio signals (e.g. on a CD or computer) to analog ones for driving amplifiers and speakers. You're perhaps thinking of a double-conversion UPS or power conditioner, which converts electricity to DC, filters it, charges a battery (in the case of a UPS), then converts it back to AC to power your devices.

Depending upon how well / poorly managed the HOA is, HOA fees for $200k condos can easily exceed $500 / mo. The condo I sold for a substantial loss in the Seattle area in 2010 at $175k had a $280 / mo HOA due for a pretty terrible set of amenities due to a lawsuit that was eating up all the funds. As the HOA dues go up, it can further suppress gains. Then comes some special assessments like new roofs. As such, I consider HOA dues not too dissimilar of a hit on an investment like expense ratios / management fees in a fund, except I've heard of few HOAs that could improve your property value the more money you paid in unlike something like a unicorn actively managed fund.

Anaesthesia trainee here (doctor, similar to an anesthesiology resident in US vocabulary)

I've read the actual referenced paper and not the LA times piece.

This type of research is hypothesis generating. As they acknowledge, this shows a correlation, not causation. The big question here is why were these women taking paracetamol/acetaminophen? Was it the drug or the cause of their pain/fever/discomfort that is more relevant to the outcomes observed?

As part of a cohort study, this was just one outcome measured. It is not clear to me whether this was a outcome measure they had intended to analyse from the outset or whether it was post-hoc. This makes a huge difference to the credibility of the finding

With regards to the relative safety of paracetamol and ibuprofen, well, they are totally different drugs. For most healthy, young people, in short courses both will cause little harm, with paracetamol having the edge in safety. Ibuprofen causes significant, undetected kidney and gastrointestinal injury. Paracetamol can cause liver failure, but generally only in overdose, prolonged use or when associated with poor nutritional intake. A healthy person taking the odd dose will not develop liver toxicity. Prolonged administration of ibuprofen will invariably cause damage. For paracetamol it is less clear.

Source: I prescribe and manage these drugs and their side effects daily. Pain management is a core part of my day job.
I keep seeing "cognitive dissonance" used in this way, and I think it's incorrect. Cognitive dissonance is not holding opposing views simultaneously. It's having a anxiety because of it.

Although your usage could be taken in that way, I'd wonder why you think he experiences any cognitive dissonance at all.
I suspect "as" and "more" frequently get lost in translation.

Rarely seen outside of studios and hospitals. I guess people will point and laugh at this but they probably aren't laughing at FDA device safety rules.

"Technical power" in your house is pretty much against all building codes. You need color-coded outlets and warning signs on all outlets and on the entry doors, in a commercial setting where the code allows such wiring. On the other hand, wiring your amps up this way has a certain economy to it; it's actually pretty cheap and effectively solves the problem for a lot less than the $10k (plus ongoing monthly costs of extra power service) cited in this article.

Everything, around here at least, with acetaminophen in it says so right on the front of the box, with a fairly prominent warning not to double dose with other meds. I don't know what it would take to make an "adequate" warning.
I remember my first words as a newly born white baby: "...lawyer".

I was thinking the same thing. Wikimedia makes all of wikipedia available for download. You don't need to screen scrape. LOL. I guess they had some other wikis they want to get data from but the "main" worldwide wikipedia site, that everyone thinks of as wikipedia makes the data freely downloadable, and I've downloaded it before.
Ok thanks for clarifying. I was thinking of a feature on a motherboard I recently purchased:

"USB DAC-UP provides clean, noise-free power delivery to your Digital-to-Analog Converter. DACs can be sensitive to fluctuations in power from the other USB ports, which is why USB DAC-UP takes advantage of an isolated power source that minimizes potential fluctuations and ensures the best audio experience possible."

I've also had to use a 5v step up converter to provide a filtered power source for the camera on my FPV drone I built. I can see why an Audiophile would want filtered voltage supply if they had money to burn I guess.
