That's because all those other sites are poorly built. It's not because the article's site is a brilliant example of "doing it right".

Putting bare text on the web is always going to be fast. So what. If he presented a real full-featured website with the bells and whistles that people expect today, and made it operate that fast, he'd have something to show. Instead he presents polished garbage.
I use both every day (work+personal phones), and I come down on the opposite side. My Android does everything I want out of a pocket computer, and the iPhone doesn't. If I don't like the UX of one app, the next one I try will almost certainly be better.

I like multiple app stores, and multiple vendors to buy apps from. I like downloading program source and building an apk from it. I like having a terminal app and a file manager. I like running an ssh server to get files on/off the phone. I like using the phone as an oversized USB flash drive, and not having to install a vendor's software to do it (and not caring which OS I'm booted into at the time).

iOS is pretty, well-thought-out, performant, predictable, and the best ecosystem on it isn't produced by a tarted-up advertising firm. It has a lot to recommend it...but I'll still take the tangled nest of features over the carefully pruned garden, because I don't always agree with the decisions of the gardener, and I like to have other options.
Ask HN: Remote-only job boards
I'm looking for job boards that specialize in remote positions.
Does any one know if this happens in other countries? I remember watching a documentary about the social workers that help these young people make transitions from recluses to members of society. Although the article says that the number has decreased in recent years, I'd be surprised if it hasn't increased globally because of online gaming/communities.
(EDIT: The documentary I saw was called "Japan's Missing Teenagers" which aired on SBS in 2003. Really interesting but I can't seem to find it anywhere.)
Exposed: Farms Still Live-Plucking Geese Despite 'Responsible Down Standards'
>If group X is as effective as group Y but you can get away with paying them 20% less, why would you NOT hire group X?

Hypothetical possibility: members of group X are not perceived as 100% as effective as group Y because of pervasive bias by the employers that assumes their incompetence. They are generally perceived to be 80% as effective as a standard Y member despite actual 100% performance, and paid accordingly. A member of X needs to be 120% as effective as a Y member to be perceived at 100% Y efficiency because of stereotypes coloring their perception and an inability to objectively evaluate their performance.

Some non-hypothetical studies touching on this:

Murphy's Law in this case means that the best outcome is to remove the possibility of poor planning by not having to juggle multiple devices that require you to plan your charging schedules around in the first place.
> "they doggedly pursue single lines of inquiry or development, and possibilities for truly new ideas or techniques"

This could easily be attributed to curiosity. Don't dismiss curiosity as something wishy-washy.

As I said before, the mindset between hardworking and curious is different. That's not to say pursuing curiosity takes no effort. I'll use a musician analogy to explain. A hardworking musician works hard to master their skill and knowledge with an instrument in order to maximise their abilities. A curious musician by contrast is guided by much broader principles, including a greater focus on sound rather than their personal skill. A playing mistake that produces an interesting result is not something to be eliminated by refinement, but instead is the opening of a new avenue of inquiry. It helps to be open to interesting mistakes, and this is not something that is easy to do when you're hyper focused on perfecting yourself.

In other words, spending energy is necessary to get a fuller understanding of something, but what motivates you does have an impact on the end result. Hard work is driven by ego, playful curiosity less so, but it doesn't mean less energy. Work and play are not the same thing, but what separates them is not the activity per se, but rather the mindset of the individual.
If the algorithm is overfitting, it's costing its users money in the general case. Again, self righting. We don't need to hide the data we think it's overfitting on; any modern production ML system shouldn't have trouble with extraneous data. You don't see loan bots denying loans to people because they're named "Phil", for example, even though the bots have that information.

(Good) ML algorithms don't suffer from human biases; they don't know that there's a categorical difference between e.g. race and shoe size, so we don't need to hide race from these algorithms. That is, of course, unless one's explicit goal is to cripple and pessimize the algorithm for political reasons.

That one fails " "@example.com and test@example, both of which are legal.

Also, since it relies on looking up MX records and then making an SMTP connection to check if the user exists, why not just send the confirmation email? You've already done all of the expensive stuff at that point.
This seems like it should work, but have you ever tried it? Or, can you point me to some results of a test to show that it indeed caches the image embedded in the CSS?

All of that statistical analysis was actually a bit silly, because I've never heard the "typo" argument as a reason for email grammar validation[1]. Sounds like a straw man. It didn't need to be disproven.

The conclusion is sound (although leaves out a discussion of the whether an email confirmation field is at least better than nothing).

[1]: (As a side note, I think the most common explanations for grammar validation are programmer perfectionism and proactively stopping user garbage, such as copy-paste errors or intentionally fluffed fields that will result in a bounced email anyway.)

Hoffman's argument makes sense when you are talking about bacteria. But who thinks bacteria have a conscious understanding of reality?

More complex animals, and especially humans, collect an immense amount of sense data, from multiple sources, and use it to construct a general view of reality. It has to be accurate because they don't have a few, simple, stereotyped response patterns. Rather they have extremely complex patterns, highly customized to particular, unique circumstances, and the only way that can work is if their image of the world is itself complex and fits reality.

Here is an example that is immensely more simple than what humans do in their living: how could you design a software program to play chess if it was just all of the form "when x, do y"? The only way you can do it is if you have a representation of a chessboard and use it to plot out moves, and what the opponent might do in response. Now think of how much more you have to know about reality in order to, for instance, go shopping. Or run a software startup.

> What "graduating class"?

Many universities have a "College of Science." Many of those universities give out some sort of "Top Doctoral Student" award, with a different name.

And I largely agree with what you say. That would be how any rational person would measure themselves, you would think. But in reality, you're comparing yourself to the people you're surrounded by, not with the smart guy in Iceland.
And that's a great philosophy until your email gets rejected by some service that picked a different "common class of email addresses" than you did. This is precisely why we have written standards.
I hate the camera bulge, but I've had an iPhone 6 since they first day they were available, and the camera lens is still in pristine shape with no case, and no particularly special care.
Ideally, management would just look at the numbers at some level and figure out if there was some measurable pay disparity they could arbitrage and make money off of. I'm sure some companies have. This is a benefit of impersonal, faceless corporate structures; they don't have human qualities like biologically motivated bias in judgement. On the other hand, they don't have qualities like empathy either, so it's not clear if it's preferable or not.
You can use a regex as a simple pre-check but you absolutely have to do more than that if you expect high-quality results.

Back in the 90s, we ran the customer rewards program mailing list for a mainstream business you've heard of. A [gnarly] regex took care of the gross failures but we still had double-digit percentage of invalid addresses and many spam reports because people mistyped their username, used their old ISP's email address which had been disconnected, etc.

The only approach which produced satisfactory results back then was to have a bit of (horrible) PHP code which did a full SMTP connection to deliver the welcome email. Even that wasn't enough to ensure you'd delivered it to the right person, however, so we had to track clicks on an activation link.

I would be surprised if the average internet user has gotten significantly more reliable over the last couple of decades and that's born out by the wide variety of misdirected legitimate email my shortname@gmail.com account receives.

Address validation by sending an email should only be used if it is required for some reason to verify the user owns the email account. Otherwise, it's not a great UX.
I have never seen anyone with an Excel workflow that involves exporting to CSV that does not immediately mojibake every non-ASCII character.

Yeah, I know there's a well-hidden option to export in tab-separated UTF-16. Nobody uses it.

So I guess you're fine if your data is just numbers, and if it's not labeled with words, names, or places.

He was blatantly accused of being a "sociopath, rapist, plagiarist", with no hard evidence on even the plagiarism claim. After the hit job was done, the entitled victims retreated into their wagon circle of blocking people on twitter or at best writing soppy articles full of straw men and other sophistry, supported by hack "journalists" just parroting their side of the story. They openly displayed the narcissistic and psychopathic behavior they accused Appelbaum of, yet somehow, because they attacked first, noticing that was somehow beyond the ken of large swaths of the baffled crowd.

In all aspects that matter, this is the same stuff: they are projecting and displaying double standards, they are crying victim while attacking, and when the response is not as enthusiastic as hoped for, there is just a unilateral declaring it all over. That's all there was with Appelbaum, that's all there will be now. That's the pattern, if anything, and it's not just about the things people say and do, it's also what they are incapable or unwilling of. It's about the personal dysfunctions of the people in the lynch mob, not about what the person they were lynching may have done. That would be settled amongst adults in good faith, not via antics like this. In this case, the antics, the "medium", ARE the message and the content.

everyone employed to a relevant position at our company takes a pretty in depth excel assessment so we know what they need taught on Day 1.

Named ranges/tables is always top of the list!

edit: business schools usually make you take an excel course/exam your first year. Its always awful, using some absurdly priced flash-based webapp from 2003 that has such strict validation on answers/inputs, you often struggle just to input your answer because you solved it in a different manner than they expect. So, the IBs likely think you know Excel before getting in the door (which is not always the case).
1) Do you see mobile VR/AR taking off?

I guess, but like you said, there will be at least 7 years.

2) Do you think 1-5 man teams can make successful products for VR/AR?

I don't think so. I have a computer graphics background, computer graphics is pretty labor intensive. You often see startups in the areas of network, security ... you seldom see big successful startups in the graphics field. you need to hire lots of artists or have lots of money to outsource the work. or your idea is really smart like minecraft. Or you don't do graphics intensive games, like tiltbrush. but still 3d ui is more difficult that 2d ones.

3) If a current web developer was interested in getting started in VR, what would you recommend they learn and invest in?

I'd say webgl, and unity/unreal game engines. computer graphics in general. but if you are serious, you should learn c++ and native programing.

One thing I've found that helps a lot is instant delivery notifications. When you try to register a new account, our "We've sent a confirmation email" screen will report within a few seconds if there was a mail delivery error and allow the user to correct their address. Common typo detection for popular email domains is also beneficial (https://github.com/mailcheck/mailcheck)

they are up to no good and I don't want them as my customer.

Also, according to the standard email addresses supposed to be case sensitive,
since the username part refers to a unix user and unix is case sensitive.
I work with a lot of email address lists originally collected on paper and of course noone knows that. So as bad as it sounds, part of my sanitation process is to lowercase everything. Noone ever complained. What the standard says and what people actually do is very different.
I guess the details are still not known? I was confused by the target hack in my earlier comment(sorry). That was where hvac contractors had their credentials stolen, and malware was installed on their pos system. The home depot hack was malware suspected to have been installed on their self checkout machines[1].

" it shouldn't be the customers who suffer when this happens. The people that made it so easy for my personal information to leak, the ones who necessitated that my personal information even be required as part of the transaction, should be the ones feeling the pain"

I get what you mean about some services collecting everything they can, and not taking the best possible care of it. I agree with you there. I was trying to point out an exception where there isnt anything that can be done. For example, try and stop finfisher :)[2] Companies will get hacked, and it is not always negligence. I was trying to point out that you wouldn't blame a shopkeeper if an armed robber stole credit card info, but if he left it in an unlocked room then we should. And I dont think either home depot or target were collecting more than they needed to.

PS, if anyone has a link as to how we can be more proactive about working with law enforcement to catch the fraudsters, I would love to see it. Either from the point of view of a consumer, or service provider.

Great article. Wrong. Question.

The better question: In it's current form, is an email addresses really the best way to do what it is that's trying to be accomplished? (Hint: It's a fax machine.)

I mean, if I have have a phone number, why can't I have an email number? Okay, perhaps not the greatest example. But then again, if a phone number can be switched from one carrier to another, in the second decade of the 21st century shouldn't "email" get the same consideration?

Instead we're talking about regex or some other wonky validation? In 2016? That's just silly.
The problem is trust. Technological solutions exist that embody trust. People must trust technological solutions through social means...a type of prisoner's dilemma if there ever was one.
The number of websites that try reject my email address with a + in it, ugh!

Surprisingly, the validation is often done 100% client-side anyway, and simply modifying the incorrect regex lets my email address through... If I wrecked havoc on your back-end, then it's your fault for sucking ;)
I thought it was clear this event was going to be iPhone and Watch only?

And no, my 2013 MBP still works just fine and probably will for years.

I'm still going to buy an iPhone; just not the 7. Since I generally keep my phones for three years, I will have plenty of time to see how this plays out in the market.
Why not go the other way and compute the edit distance to commonly used domain names, and then prompt the user and ask if it's correct?

E.g. if I type foo@googl.com, it should be pretty likely that I meant google.com.
It's installed by default at my Debian stable computer. Yet, there is not package for it, must be at the basic tools.
you can take mine if you want, whats the safest way to share email addresses on this site so I don't get a million ZipRecuiter invites?
Aren't all iPhones awfully iterative though? Surely this can't be a new revelation.
Excel also messes with CSV values that look like integers but aren't (think serial numbers or IDs), leading to many frustrating days of support.
It comes down to a choice between equality of opportunity versus equality of outcome (or some mix of the two). You can't have both - granting equal opportunities will result in unequal outcomes for all kinds of fair and unfair reasons; and ensuring equal outcomes requires unequal opportunities (e.g. quota systems).

For unfair stereotypes it's simple, you just ignore them; but there will be some group differences that are real - it would be a mighty coincidence if so many so diverse groups would magically happen to be identical in all aspects.

So it's up for the society to decide what to choose what we will do if it turns out that, other observable factors being equal, race/religion/ethnic background/etc X actually is 10% more likely to default on a loan.
This took so long... they announced this in like 2013
I strongly disagree with this.

Private companies probably should not have political agendas.

Why don't they use this program against anarchists and Occupy Wall Street extremists? They're focusing specifically on hard right extremists.

Definitely, I think email validation links are important too. However, it's pretty senseless to let an obviously invalid email address pass all the way through to that layer (and potentially get billed for sending messages to invalid email addresses).
