You don't understand how this "antimatter" thing works, do you?
The value of a diamond is in its ability to display the wealth of the wearer. If a diamond no longer indicates status, it is "fake". That's the truth they're all beating around the bush of. It's pathetic, but there it is.
This is a fun app! I love the restrictions of no audio and disabling chat during work periods. Good work!

A nice excuse to try out pomodoros again, too.
I understand the sentence. What I don't understand is why it is necessary for a support agent to have completed first year business school and why this is an insult (which I take as the intent).

I put together the above for around $750 over 2 years ago. A somewhat equiv. MBP is like $2,750 (and would still be worse in nearly every aspect spec for spec).

I value my time and sanity but some of these stories make it seem like if you have a good combo of hardware it's an hour or 2 per year just to handle some updates and a bit of chaos. I think I'm willing to trade that to save nearly $3,000 since for me it would be buying a MBP vs hackintoshing my current machine.

The problem and cause of hesitation is due to it being my only machine capable of doing my primary work.

X230 Tablet. The stylus works out of the box with Ubuntu 14.04.

Only nit is that the standby battery life is only a few days. I upgraded from the 3-cell (which was pretty old and lasted about two hours) to a 6-cell. I'm still testing it but it lasts at least 5 hours under moderate usage. I think with the brightness on low it could last 10.
I chose not to in this case, leaving it as a sort of exercise for the reader. If the cultural authoritarian nature of certain types of modern media, of which Polygon is but one example doesn't immediately ring some bells for you then I'm not sure we have a lot of common ground. And me listing out a set of what I believe to be negative ideologies and narratives might quickly get off topic and acrimonious. Was I wrong?
And yet, people say Brendan Eich doesn't believe in equality!

This is what unions are now, because the NLRB institutionalized them, and Taft-Hartley defanged them, and they became another kind of entrenched power. This is not what they were, when they served as a democratic organ, a way for workers to make collective decisions outside of government.
This article helped clear things up for me.

It is difficult to feel for a cartel that was so powerful as to establish the country of Rhodesia[1]. The exorbanant value of diamonds have hurt people for a long time, well before the modern notion of "blood diamonds."

trcollinson is exactly right focus on the value your machine is bringing now.
That being said every evidence point to a major upgrade in December, so unless your really need a new computer waiting is the safest bet a this point.

Specific advice :
1 - Don't get this generation macbook air or non retina macbook pro those are just bad value

2 - which ever decision you make,understand that in 6 month you won't care

3 - One way to edge your bets would be buy a used macbook pro now, resell a later when/if you decide to upgrade. Macbook have a great resale value, and by buying used you avoid the biggest part of the asset depreciation which appends in the first couple of years.
No, really, why are the departments picking up the tab, even in cases where the city's law prohibits this? The NYU paper has a couple illustrations.

>Only one jurisdiction in my study—El Paso, Texas—reported a
practice of never indemnifying police officers.145 Yet no El Paso officer personally satisfied settlements or judgments against him during the study period. The city of El Paso did, however, pay $279,000 to settle sixteen civil rights cases against its officers between 2006 and 2011. The deputy city attorney in El Paso explained that, because the city is responsible for paying officers’ attorneys’ fees, it
sometimes settles claims against officers because it would be less expensive to pay a small settlement than to continue to pay for the defense of the case. From the deputy city attorney’s perspective, paying a settlement on behalf of an officer to avoid the cost of further litigation should not be understood as equivalent to indemnifying that officer.

>California allows indemnification of punitive damages if the
“governing body of that public entity” finds that “[p]ayment . . . would be in the best interests of the public entity.”
[How do they figure?]

>Some jurisdictions [Las Vegas, New York, Oklahoma City, and Prince George’s County] appear to have indemnified
officers in violation of governing law.

>Jurisdictions may sidestep prohibitions against indemnification of punitive damages by vacating the punitive damages verdict as part of a post-trial settlement.

>Although my study shows that officers almost never contribute to settlements and judgments, I found anecdotal evidence that some government attorneys affirmatively use the possibility that they will deny officers indemnification to gain settlement leverage, limit punitive damages verdicts, and reduce punitive damages verdicts after trial—
only to indemnify their officers once the cases are ultimately resolved.

>During litigation, the threat that a city will deny indemnification may discourage plaintiffs from proceeding with claims against individual officers.

Most alien stories have all the hallmarks of theism: the whole appeal to superior intelligence/technology, that they are interested in human kind, they intervene in human affairs per an undefined (to us) metric, non-believers are just ignoring the revealed truth/facts i.e. it's their fault, not the fault of weak or non-existence facts, and so on.

If aliens are visiting earth then it seems to me they're like E.T. (the movie): botanists who could give two shits about humans other than not getting caught. Or entomologists, geologist, what have you. There's a lot more interesting stuff happening on the planet than humans. But humans are full of self-importance and gods and aliens play a role in reemphasizing that self-importance.
2^9 (512) registers. Isn't that a bit overkill?

Only reason to have lots of registers is so compiler can extract more instruction-level parallelism. But 512 is way past the amount needed for significant benefits.

Downside of lots of registers means that the multiplexers for register bank will have to be really big, thus slow, and that will dramatically limit the clock speed.

Another downside is that instructions are unnecessarily large. That causes unnecessary pressure on the instruction cache.
That is an interesting aritcle but it fails to address the most important question: can we safely eat bacon?

In all honestly, going only by your recent posts in this and other threads, I wouldn't hire you either.
Donald Duck's specific popularity has a lot to do with World War II and the marshall plan -- whereas the USA had TV And Radio, Europe's infrastructure was devastated and the influx of american comic books formed a cheap form of entertainment. One of those happened to be Donald Duck -- which was ALSO popular in the USA at the time and ran in lots of newspapers.

But in the USA, Donald Duck (and comics in general) had growing competition whereas in europe he had time to become a nostalgic tradition.
I don't think conflict free has so much to do with the ecological footprint as it does the human impact of diamond mining operations.
DeBeers managed to convince the US Federal Trade Commission to require synthetic diamond manufacturers to label their products as synthetic. But China doesn't require that. China trade practice barely distinguishes between diamonds and cubic zirconia. If you want to order diamonds from China, you have to specify HPHT (high-pressure high temperature), or CVT (carbon vapor deposition) or you'll probably get cubic zirconia.[1]

Nobody can detect better HPHT or CVT diamonds without lab equipment, anyway. Even under a microscope they look very similar. If you hit them with UV light and take a picture milliseconds after the light goes off, the fluorescence patterns are different. There's overpriced test equipment based on this fact. (Now there's a potential phone accessory - a UV flash that plugs into the phone for diamond grading, with associated app. Tiny market, though.)

Excellent advice. I've noticed that it's pretty common for in-house recruiters to be very open to connect on LinkedIn. Reaching out to them first would be my suggestion if you don't have any other connection in the company.
AMP team member here. Not sure I understand the issue.

It's by design that our site is only available via HTTPS. Is there a good reason for why you can't consume the HTTPS version?
Yes. Another example might be how the serfs in Robin Hood viewed deer and the royal anti-poaching laws.

In regards to the inhuman point, I was referring to common western portrayals of poachers as pure evil villains and because they are evil as somehow less than human and that anything we do to the poachers in defense of the elephants is justified. I wanted to give a more nuanced view and make the point that but for our circumstances, we might have been poachers and viewed that as the right choice.
Five principles that make it easier for people to love your company culture
I own a small web hosting company, and I'd like to tell you that it's more complicated than that. Nearly all of our chargebacks are the result of criminals paying with stolen credit cards, and then using the accounts as a platform for illegal activity. My company is the victim here, it has nothing to do with unsatisfied customers, but we're still punished by the payment processing industry.

We, like much of the hosting industry, fight back by denying new accounts to certain high-risk countries -- like most of Eastern Europe. The fraud rate from some of those countries is probably 75% or more! But that sucks, too -- it's not fair to honest people in Latvia that they're banned from the services of many small online businesses. That's where Bitcoin comes in, and it's actually been a Godsend to us!
I have not yet bought the game but your extremely vivid description of your experience playing just sold me on it.
i would assume this is a scam. the only time you need to provide ssn is when you are starting a new job -- you have already been hired -- and HR needs to photocopy your social security card. that's it. no other time. ever. (edit: ok, also other HR things like maybe when choosing your health insurance plan, etc)

also you are under no compulsion to provide a recruiter (agency or internal) any information you don't want to. this includes prior salary, GPA, etc, etc.
Most don't because it's taught that it's frowned upon. I don't mind at all if people try and connect. For a big company like mine, it's probably less of a risk than the ATS or the HR rep screening it out.
OK, if nothing else, TIL that there is a legit journal called Speculum which specializes in the history of the Middle Ages. (http://www.journals.uchicago.edu/toc/spc/current) Other than that, this article didn't seem to say anything new.
Argh. The amount of headache we must go through to lock down this information is ridiculous compared to the risk. While this might be an issue for Bill Clinton or Kanye West, the vast majority of people won't be terribly adversely affected by breaches of their medical records.

A much better solution than encrypting every byte of data and vainly trying to secure the impossible (to say nothing of purposely corrupting the data) is just step up enforcement: punish people who leak, sell, and buy private health information more assiduously. Data breaches will happen; the social contract is our best defense against them.
Which laptop is it ? If the laptop was company issued and support Vpro, they usually have some tools to track it.
I think by referral the poster meant a contact within the company passing a resume directly to the hiring manager. I'll have someone put me down as the referrer when they apply online, but I also ask them to send me a resume and I make sure it goes to the hiring manager.
I don't recall the details, but the last time I was at the main library in Cleveland, there was a sticker advising everyone how to save to a "cloud drive" so all their files would be there the next time they came back. They had some sort of similar system for the tablets they let you use as well, pretty nifty.
Add enough qualifiers and anything can become the most whatever.
>It's hard to believe anyone put a rail station here in the first place.

It's not. Perhaps you've never lived in a suburb with a train. They're incredibly useful in getting to the city.

You don't need to be able to walk to the station for it to be useful. Its surprising you think that's how public transit needs to work.

This is a commuter train. You live in the suburbs, drive to the station or get dropped off, and take the train 95% of the way to work. It saves you having to drive in traffic, and parking in downtown where space is limited and expensive. It's incredibly useful.

Without that train living in the suburbs and working downtown would be shit.
Ask HN: Why does a potential investor want us to reincorporate in the Caymans?
My startup is negotiating terms with a foreign investor and they're asking us to restructure our company so that we're based in the Caymans and our US operations are a subsidy. The ostensible reason is some tax benefit, but neither we nor our counsel can imagine what that might be. Have any of you experienced this? I'm looking for an insight into their reasoning.
How to set up OpenCL in Linux
> (They tried with Gemesys, now Pure Grown Diamonds. The CEO was a retired US Army general and wasn't intimidated.) There's even a startup in SF now. "Your diamond is hot-forged from pure atoms in our California foundry."

This is why they've switched their marketing efforts towards the emotional. It's always been that way with the "A Diamond is Forever...", but now even more so with the emphasis on NATURAL diamonds. Lots of DeBeers and diamond cartel marketing stuff that slyly insinuates you don't value your relationship if you don't buy a REAL GENUINE diamond.
Right. So when a police officer is on duty, he's more than just an American citizen - he's the embodiment of the people's desire to enforce law and order, and as such, he or she should be held to a higher burden than "I was scared someone was going to hurt me".
What was most interesting to me is that giant diamonds like this regularly get crushed to bits by the extraction process. I wonder how many other 1000+ karat stones have been destroyed in the history of diamond mining.
Another issue I didn't see in this interview is that academics (at least in the sciences) aren't trained to write, but they are often held to the same standards as those who are trained. Moreover, a scientist's job isn't primarily to write for a general audience, so it's hard to say they've failed in that regard. Whereas a journalist who gets the science wrong when reporting on it (beyond simply dumbing it down or massaging the truth for comprehension) fails at the defining feature of the job: reporting the facts.
>It strikes me as so empty and abstract as to be "not even wrong". Yes, a book is an inert object that needs to be combined with a very specific decoding mechanism (namely, a human) in order to derive semantics. This is also true of shoes.

I find this argument to be "not even wrong" (not really, I see some point in what you say, but I just wanted to convey how bad is this "outright dismissal" it attempts to the author's points).

The shoes don't give us back a narrative/plot from the semantics we derive for them -- No Man's Sky does.

So the author's point has some merit in pointing out this, even if he doesn't qualify fully what kind of semantics he means (not the crude semantics we get from interpreting "most things"). The nature of the game's derived semantics make it more like a book than a pair of shoes or a t-shirt with a slogan.
I think all the current logging providers are hugely overpriced. I understand why people run ELK or Graylog themselves.

I suspect you're going to feel some competition from Google StackDriver/BigQuery. You can load 300GB/mo (your biggest plan) into BigQuery for about $156/mo including storage.

As someone who is basing our stack on Kubernetes, "effort to scale" is pretty damn small these days!
If you don't mind me asking, how many weeks/months did it take to build out this app, including both dev and design?
> The Last 4 Digits are simply a unique identifier

No, they aren't. As is kind of obvious, given the number of combinations of four digits there are, and the size of the universe of people identified with SSNs.
a recruiter shouldn't ever need any sort of 'identity verification'.

even if a recruiter is 'being transparent', there's no reason to. you should stay away from anyone saying they need to do this.

background checks, etc. are HR things that happen between when job offer is accepted and your first day of work starts.
The problem is, the people desire for law and order to be enforced brutally and with "zero tolerance".

And by "the people" I mean, "a heck of a lot of people"...
How was the gold "processed"?

The OP asks How they were able to master the smelting of copper and gold in that short span of time?" But as I understand things you don't need to smelt gold. Find a sufficiency large nugget, which were no uncommon before we started picking them up, and you can bash the thing into shape without external heat. Bashing also probably purifies it in much the same way as iron. Perhaps all it took was someone noticing how this particular rock was soft enough to form into a shiny bead.
"really cared about open access" doesn't mean caring about it above everything else, especially above their primary mission of doing research, which requires ability to publish in every particular research niche community globally (for every research area, the "top 20 schools" are different 20 schools, with only minor overlap), and the ability to read all this communication. Boycotts have been discussed and haven't succeeded because they directly harm researcher short-term interests; a slow migration is in process with some research communities switching to e.g. arxiv or other open access resources, but until all or most research areas worldwide have done so, every university still needs these subscriptions. Open access is desired, but having the subscriptions (and taking part of the publications) is mandatory.
Much of "1984" is autobiographical. Orwell worked for the British Ministry of Information, upon which his Ministry of Truth is based. See "George Orwell, the Lost Writings".
It's not enough to set up new journals. Until you convince everyone who matters (in your area of research) to use only the new journals, you still need the subscriptions to all the old journals as well, until (if!) they are abandoned and lose all status.
Travelled 6 months of last year. I was ready to come home at the end. I could see my friends moving on with life and I felt like mine was standing still.

This was partly because of not staying in one place for long enough to build meaningful relationships, and also because at my stage of life many significant things require money, and the lifestyle was a tremendous drain on finances. I was in front of my laptop < 3 hours / day on a good day, because honestly, who wants to concentrate when cool tourist things are outside your door?

Best places for focus were Marseille (very little else to do albeit unbearably hot in our un-airconditioned apartment), Wellington in New Zealand (a beautiful country but Wellington felt very familiar and stable), and Dublin (some interesting history but not the classic tourism experience ... weather condusive to being indoors).

Amsterdam, Geneva, Queenstown (NZ), Prague were all just too exciting and/or beautiful. Prague felt like it had the best chance of working out once the excitement of tourism was done: low-ish cost of living + decent Internet.
