Also since I've been on HN for a long time, I know there will be questions about the price.

Yes, you could organize this yourself. It'd be a lot of work though and leave you with little time to actually work on your side project. You could also get fit without a gym or a personal trainer, or learn almost any skill without paying for a class.

One of our past participants, Joshua Pinter (who launched an iOS app called ntwrk via the program) said it best: putting a dollar value on the program makes everyone take it more seriously, and it makes you take it more seriously.

I have the same functionality under Menu button (the three dots) - Share - Send to other devices (with a Firefox icon). When I press that I get a list of devices connected using Firefox sync and can send the tab to my computer.

If I share a URL from other apps, like Chrome, there's an "Add to Firefox" option available also.

Using Firefox 48.0 on Android, it auto updates so it should be the latest version.
> Nobody pops out of the womb a math genius. [...] But it boils down to the hours that kids put into their interests.

This is obviously untrue. It's been well established that a significant fraction of intelligence is heritable, which means nurture has little to do with innate ability.

Further, there are plenty of examples of true geniuses, like Mozart for music and Ramanujan for mathematics, where they almost immediately grasped their subject and became experts rivaling their contemporaries with very little practice.

But genius is clearly not a binary quality, it's a continuum. There exist people slightly less adept than Ramanujan, and so had to put in more work to become experts, but still far less work than an average person would. You didn't have anyone to share your interests because your age group just couldn't naturally see the beauty you saw in your interests. Not wouldn't, couldn't without some serious coaching.
This is the problem with Google's automation and their lack of support. Years of flagging everything where no one knew why their videos weren't making money. Now they have a few people try to clean up the mess of Youtubers sending in for manual review because they were wrongly flagged. It sure doesn't seem like it works for the Play Store.

The most recent data I can find on that is 20 years old so it's hard to say: http://sq.4mg.com/IQ-jobs.htm

If you go by the "engineering" part of that, then average would be 125, if you go by "computer occupations" then average is a little over 110.

Regarding entrepreneurs, there isn't much data. I found this quote

"A more recent working paper by Simeon Djankov of the World Bank, Yingyi Qian of the University of California at Berkeley, Gérard Roland of the University of California at Berkeley, and Ekaterina Zhuravskaya of the Center for Economic and Policy Research examined “400 entrepreneurs and 540 non-entrepreneurs of the same age, gender, education and location in 7 Brazilian cities” and found that the “entrepreneurs scored quite higher on cognitive scores…”

Either way, the data does seem to agree that people on HN should be higher than average.

I would also argue that the community here will tend to dissuade people who make nonsensical arguments from sticking around, which would filter out people as well.
I 100 percent agree. I'm sorry you feel the need to post under a throwaway, but I'll put my name on this to back your point up.

On call is a deal breaker for my future job searches, and I am considering leaving the company I just joined because they sprung it on me while never mentioning it in the interview process.

On call is justified in my opinion only if someone will die if the problem isn't handled. Or if compensation is dramatically increased and agreed upon in advance.

Sorry, I'm from Europe too, and I did feel in my skin, the Nazi ideology that remains, when working in Holland/The Netherlands for 2 years. If I read "ss" in a computer/programing context, I don't think about Nazis. The same that I love rainbows, and I'm not gay.

People takes symbols as a totalitarian thing. We are free to skip their imposition and use things as we like. We are still free to do it. Really. We can appreciate the beauty of a rainbow after a rain/sun combination, and not impose our sexual unsolicited demonstrations to anyone because of it. It's just a nature thingy.

We can say "ss" for a program that print sockets stats, and skip remembering Nazis. It's opensource, any skin tone can use, modify and redistribute, ss. We can do it, or, we can stick to bad memories, and name things just and only, as Israeli stuff.

I didn't think about it, and probably the person that did name the program, neither. Anyway, I see your point, the name can bring negative sentiments to some persons which see the daemon in a piece of source code or in an acronym in unrelated context.

So Upton Sinclair was wrong to go undercover to gather material for his book The Jungle?

In case you're not aware, until the 80's, American law practically encouraged a level of industrial espionage, because it discouraged reliance on trade secrecy and therefore encouraged the dissemination of knowledge. And yes, because it enabled undercover investigations of wrong doing, both the illegal and what ought-to-be illegal.

That's not that unusual for Intel or anyone else, while SGX doesn't protect against all types of attacks it does protect against some, I'm not seeing anything in SEV that can explicitly protect against cache timing attacks, and there is potential for the keys to leak through various side channel attacks in almost every implementation including SGX/SEV.

Overall if you go through their paper page 38 has a good overview of various hardware security platforms / frameworks and what attacks they can protect against and what they are still vulnerable too.

SGX seems to be vulnerable to 2 cache timing attacks and a page fault attack, it however does provide mitigation / protection against malicious hypervisor / OS attacks, as well as co residing malicious applications, and if you use SGX + TXT (& TPM) in theory you are only exposed to container level cache timing attacks which while might not be great is still something.

Q&A with Hayley Barna
Do you have a reputable source for any of that? EMP effect is measured by field strength in volts per meter. If you don't have an antenna, or something to act like an antenna (telegraph/telephone/electric power lines) connected to a piece of equipment, the induced voltage in the equipment cannot be extremely large.

Solid state electronics are extremely susceptible to even mild overvoltages. Tubes are not. And magnetos are not. Low-tech magnetos ignition systems are considered to be practically invulneable to EMP.
Just a theory:

Manhattan has fewer young people with the means to dine out frequently. It's full of young people who want to be artists, fashion designers, etc... Most people who can afford fancy restaurant meals in Manhattan are older, more established in whatever their chosen career.

SF has a larger percentage of young people who are already wealthy (or middle class) from tech the sector. And thus more young people there dine out, more frequently.

See the thread I referenced, which has comments that theorize why allowing others to use parts of it could be of value to GS.

The overall system is of such fantastic value it's hard to overstate it. GS can in a matter of minutes/hours play "what if" games, and otherwise determine risk and figure out what their position is, when other companies at worst depend on people manually scraping data from spreadsheets and submitting that upwards via email. Played a major role in their minimal losses during the last financial crisis, it's a crown jewel in their industry.

So, can I ask an awkward question? Realistically speaking, is there any chance that a large CA would ever actually be removed from Mozilla's store, no matter how severe their malfeasance?

I started wondering this after they declined to remove StartSSL after the Heartbleed fiasco, and while I sort of understood the reasoning there in isolation, between that incident and this long list of WoSign violations, I'm really getting the sense that CA's are "too big to fail" and that the downsides of suddenly breaking huge parts of the internet on unsuspecting users mean that the threat of removing badly-behaving CA's is an empty one. What would a CA have to do to actually be removed, especially if they were to sign really huge sites?
My source says 38 hours. My point is that saying that "Southern ones are more carefree and want to relax" is false and prejudiced.
I have a phobia of insects(not if they are small enough for me to notice their details), crabs, prawns etc. All the not-animal-like-life, to be honest.

One day, at a supermarket, a friend of mine teased me with a crab in her hand. Later that day, we were discussing about this incident, and we realized that both of us look at insects very differently.

She looks at insects etc as "things that move", ie, lacking of will, like a toy or something.
I look at them as creatures who I cannot empathize with, and hence, whose motives I cannot understand. So they freak me out.

That conversation kind of felt like interfacing at the boundaries of our consciousness
Maybe, but I know in Vietnam, all citizens are required by law to have a traditional Vietnamese name.
This is my thinking as well. It means your hothead animal rights person can't assault your staff, tresspass, visit with fake credentials, etc for a political agenda. Property rights do matter, regardless of the exceptions the left keeps trying to give itself against the non-left.

If this is really a public rights issue and lets assume the entirely of the GOP has been paid off, from POTUS to dog catcher, then where is the Democratic response? Oh right, it doesn't exist, because this is a non-issue outside of extremist views. Its trivial for any political group to start a case and get it to SCOTUS if they believe any of this is unconstitutional. Its trivial for law enforcement to get warrants against these farms if they're violating the law.

I do understand the controversy here, but I think in the end, whistleblowing will always come with some risk. Its a little naive to think it doesn't. I think most people are okay with that because casual whistlblowing becomes office politics, meaningless outrage politics, and endless bikeshedding. There should be a high threshold for exemption to the laws that guarantee our freedom and rights.

I may be an old-timer and I typed my code into CP/M on a text-only display starting circa 1983 or so. I had to compile the code too and guess what ... it was fast!

But when you've only got 64K RAM there's a limit to how sophisticated a program can be. And when you're writing the type of tools we could write back then, your compilation cycles would be fast too.

Would I go back? Some of my CSS files are bigger than the hand-coded assembly language programs I wrote back then but I still love what computing has become. Many facets of today's systems seem almost unimaginable (except that I was an avid sci-fi reader). So I'll join you in demanding a fast machine so that I'm not waiting for code to compile. And who knows what we'll be building in another 30 years?
I've worked in an on-call rotation at one company and won't do it again. I was paid time and a half for all time spent dealing with issues while on call as well as a small base amount that was something like 15% base salary for the days you were on call to account for the inconvenience of having to be near a computer, within cell service and able to respond within 20 minutes at any time of the day or night.

I felt like this was fair compensation but I still wouldn't do it again. Getting woken up at 2 A.M. and having to troubleshoot something for an hour and then not being able to fall back asleep or having to interrupt a date or just not planning dates when you're on call is not worth it.

Now my situation was multiple small systems deployed onsite at customer locations and subject to inconsistencies in their networks, weather related outages, failed microwave towers and computer illiterate users. So being on call meant you were almost certain to actually get called. A company with a more centralized failure stack probably goes days or weeks between the on-call person being called.

It generally has no legal status and is mostly used for interacting with English speakers; some more Westernized Chinese people who go back to China might choose to use their English names in daily life though.

Another place an English nickname crops up is in online identifiers like e-mail usernames, since for a long time Unicode support was lacking.
Water "hardness" ie the amount of minerals dissolved in the water if I'm not mistaken. I've got a modded out soda-stream that uses large paint-ball CO2 tanks and I've tried lots of different things. Water run through a "softener" is very different than not and distilled is much more different than both of those.
Physical advantage due to genetics is very different from cognitive advantage due to genetics. First and foremost because we don't even have an absolute way of assessing intelligence, nor we have an appropriate scale (I personally think IQ is BS).

That said, where exactly is the genetic factor that determines whether a person is more intelligent than other? Is it more neurons? More connections among them? the ability to process information quicker?

I am part of the SMPY study cohort (from 1982) and have another close friend who is from the 1983 or 1984 study cohort. (The qualification at the time was 700 or greater on the SAT Math before age 13. This was, of course "SAT one" scoring system.)

I also spent some in summer camps with other students in the study and have remained casual friends with some of them over the years. I don't see any evidence to suggest that that level of demonstrated ability is transient.
I mean, it's already happening. People walk around with smartphones, tablets and laptops which constantly record audio for their virtual assistants, and I have not once consented to having my voice recorded by any of those devices.
Speed chess (or blitz chess) has become popular in recent decades, but I think the standard tournament times are 2 to 2.5 hours, if I'm not mistaken. You might have gone to blitz tournaments, where yes, your inability to play quickly would have been a great handicap.

But blitz tournaments are not the only, or even the most popular type of tournament. When you see someone's chess rating (ie. 1700, 2000, etc), those are ratings at slow time controls. When someone is referred to as a "grandmaster", it refers to a title that is earned at slow time controls. The world chess championship is played at slow time controls. There are blitz tournaments, but they are not as popular. Blitz is very popular in clubs, though. You're right there.

My guess is that you couldn't leverage your superior slow chess skills to blitz because you just didn't practice much blitz (ie. short time controls or fast games) on your computer, or against human players. This is understandable, and is quite common. It takes some practice to get used to playing blitz. I'd bet you would have made a fine blitz player if you'd put in some time practicing it, and your slow chess skills would have helped you in blitz, as blitz and slow chess aren't different games, but blitz relies more on intuition as opposed to deep analysis. But both blitz and slow chess require good pattern recognition and memorization, so your aptitude in the slow chess would have helped you in blitz, once you got enough practice in playing more intuitively at faster speeds.

Finally, as far as chess computer these days go: just because the computer moves fast doesn't mean you have to move fast. You can set whatever time controls you want when you play against a computer -- hours, days, weeks, or even turn the clock off altogether. On the other hand, chess computers have gotten so good these days that unless you're a world class player, you're just not going to beat them at their highest difficulty settings, no matter how much time you have (unless you cheat). They're still good to practice with, and you can still play slow chess (even correspondence chess, where you mail or email moves to each other and take a long time to reply) against humans. I think if you look, you'll find plenty of slow chess fans around the world that you can play.

> So? The Declaration of Independence is not part of the laws of the United States. Its statements have no bearing on them.

Excuse me, but tons of hoopla is made about the intentions of the founding fathers. The declaration of independence obviously has direct bearing on this question, and therefore obviously has direct bearing on interpreting the constitution.

> Luckily, we're not talking about other countries.

That's a weak reply. The point you've failed to grasp is that a constitution requires interpretation, and interpretations change, even despite contrary precedent. The Supreme Court has changed interpretations on fundamental rights multiple times over the US's existence. The US constitution can be interpreted in the same way as other countries have done.
no, they couldn't. the budget to pay for a large amount of support on a very open app ecosystem is prohibitive, even for a company like google.

the compromise position that they could do, but apparently haven't done, is to sell paid support packages for app developers that need/want more engaged support from google.

> If they released streaming alongside movie theater releases I would imagine you'd knock out 90%+ of the piracy out there.

That's the problem that Sean Parker is hoping to address with his proposed streaming service[1]. At $50 a movie, that doesn't seem unreasonably priced. Until then, though, there's always the Prima Cinema option[2], but then you're looking at $500 a movie, plus $100k+ for the the initial setup, so it's not a great choice if you're impoverished.

I was going to ask how your implementation compares to Versor[0] but I see you link from it in your readme. My next question was going to be if there are any license issues, since Versor was for a long time only free for non-commercial use, but I see their github is a bit more recently updated than their home page and mentions it's now under the BSD (yay!). Lastly, are you concerned about the patent on the conformal method? [1]

There are a lot of great resources linked in this thread. My memory of the last time I took a dive into GA was that there was a split in the resources for representation -- one side tried to do everything axiomatically and symbolically, the other side had some concrete numbers but it was mysterious how they all worked together. Have you seen a super-basic resource that goes through the same sorts of modeling problems middle school and high school students do when first learning trig and classic geometry?
