Anyone have actual stats on homeownership vs. age? Here's one I was able to dig up, maybe someone's got something better. This seems to say that 21% of people under 25 own a house, and 32% of 25-29's own a house.

That's was what I was getting at in general: glycemic index is far more relevant than gross sugar content[1]. But my criticism still stands: It's good that that's what you yourself use GI (as do I), but it's misleading and inaccurate to phrase a low GI as "very little sugar". It's particularly confusing for those readers of your comment who might not be familiar with GI. Instead of falsely claiming that fruit has little sugar as a roundabout way of describing it's GI, instead one can say: "Fruit has plenty of sugar, but the attendant fiber content makes the absorption of said sugar better for you than mainlining it as liquid Coke".

As an aside, where are you getting your nutritional info? It's way off what I've found. I was using the nutritional info for a regular "medium apple", and in the sources I found it has 20g vs coke's 25g, and almost the exact same amount of calories. 80% of a coke's sugar, calorie-forcalorie and serving-for-serving, hardly qualifies ad "very little sugar".
What We Know About How 9/11 Has Affected New Yorkers’ Health, 15 Years Later
First, the notion of 'unsearchable' is asinine. Anything can be searched via linear scan. Anything. The current system is de facto illegal. We have a large searchable database of gun owners, servicing 5500 queries per day.

Second, the value of search is, as i'm sure you know, simply how the data is sorted. A pure paper system could take advantage of modern inventory control systems. Just stick each 4473 in an envelope. put a hash code on the envelope. build indexes of relevant information to hash codes, automate or manually store the envelopes. This is also stupid, but clearly feasible.

Finally, resources do not imply corruption. It's been shown time and time again. You seem to think the Democratic Republic of the Congo would be a lovely place if they just didn't have all those diamonds and cobalt. Really, because the Congo is corrupt, they put diamonds and cobalt to poor use.

I believe you believe it's a good solution. I believe you haven't really thought deeply about the separation of concerns. We ought to have a system that's used ethically and responsibly with whatever safeguards are necessary to keep the system that way. Nobody likes paying taxes, but the IRS seems to do fairly good job of tracking income. You ever have a problem with selective service? Do you think they're secretly trying to draft you specifically as punishment for some imagined slight?

The current system doesn't catch people it should. The current system fails to exonerate people it should. The current system creates a ridiculous regulatory burden on tens of thousands of small businesses. The current system is a perfect example of government waste, because we've forced the government to handle the problem in a completely fucking stupid way.

edit

Just to continue the rant,

At the time of sale, generate a UUID. Register the serial number and UUID with the ATF. Register the Name, address and DOB and UUID with the census bureau. With any given investigation, require a judge to get a warrant to get the ATF to release the UUID for a gun. get another warrant to get the name from the census bureau.

Pepper the census bureau's data with other UUID's, like tax filing, voter registration, getting farm subsidies, whatever other random stuff is handy. it's just a big map of names to stuff. stuff that has no value in isolation. It requires conspirators in 2 agencies to target individuals, it requires stealing 2 databases to reconstruct useful information.

This provides a real separation between guns and people, that can be reconstructed as needed, but requires local authorities to make the connection, and only under judicial review. This not only catches bad guys, it keeps people who did nothing wrong out of jail. The current system ruins innocent people's lives.
The handful of blog posts you see here on HN are not representative of the whole batch. The majority of companies that we fund have zero alumni connections.

To me, this is actually one of the most important features of YC: the application process is completely open and we fund people from around the world regardless of background. Having graduated from college in Ohio in the 90s I moved here with zero connections and really wished for something like YC.

Things have improved (drastically?) only for a sliver of population. I talk to so many of my relatives and apart from some already well-off, working in high-tech industry most of them are way worse in term of living standard than they were 15-20 years back. Everything is so much expensive when compared to their rupee income.

Things can become violent at any time even in big cities. Just look at Bengaluru etc situation now due to Cauvery issue. It has already caused Rs 22000 crore worth of loss.
The key is that the generator of such sequences has limited resources; once the inductor has learned the (implicit or explicit) program generating these sentences (perhaps by simulation, as in Solomonoff induction), it can apply that reasoning to the individual sentences; e.g. if it believes it's verified the correctness of the generator, that is enough justification to believe the sentences being produced.

Hah, i bet its way higher. Anyone that owns their own business like that is probably fudging their income numbers and writing off as much as they can. I wouldn't be surprised if the income was 2-20x higher for established self employed people.

This is very cool, but we've had spellers based on the P300 signal for some time; here's an article from 5 years ago explaining how to set one up: http://openvibe.inria.fr/openvibe-p300-speller/

So it looks like the big improvement here is speed; P300 spellers are slow, like 4 characters per minute. What techniques does this new research use to improve that detection speed? The article doesn't go into much detail about how the signal detection or text entry actually works.
I have been doing freelance data viz with Tableau for a little over a year now and love many aspects of the work. I am a full time revenue analyst and find clients on and off for freelance.

I started with fiver.com where I didn't really make any money but I learned many things and was able to do work for Dell and USC. It has more than paid for itself to have their logos on my website, so it might be worth a look. Some will discourage the low rate approach but it has worked for me to gain experience over dollars in the beginning and I can currently charge market average or better because of the experience.

Some other important lessons I have learned:

1. Turn down work if you are too busy. Its worse to hurt a client relationship than to pass up some work, to the point where you will lose much more in the long run.

2. Understand all the specific requirements before accepting a contract.

3. Be realistic with the timetable, don't underestimate any complexities of the data or requests.

4. Make sure the client understands the iterative process and is available for feedback along the way.

5. Reconcile the vizzed data back to the source. Tools and programming can do unexpected things to data if you don't fully understand all of the processes that produce the viz.

I freelance because I love data and helping others understand data through visualization. I also have found that data visualization is my passion when it comes to career interests. If you are discovering the same while developing with d3.js, I would recommend putting all your efforts into it. Good Luck!

> All I said that the first level manager, whose reports do not have reports of their own is unlikely to know anyone salary but his own.

I'm saying that you're wrong. I know what my direct reports make. So does every other manager at my company and every manager I know who works at any other company.

> Every where I worked, you (as an individual contributor)go to the higher up, who knows your salary with the recommendation from your manager, saying that you're doing excellent job or whatever.

That sounds really dysfunctional and bureaucratic. Now you're asking the manager to stick his neck out and ask for a raise for one of his reports when he doesn't even know what his reports make.

I don't want to be the millionth guy that mocks JS. I appreciate it because it brought us here.

They do not have any money and are not turned on by debt and maintenance costs of maintaining an automobile if they do not have to. I think the main driver is a lack of money and viewing debt apart from the the car, which is an asset. They are avoiding debt because they are cognizant of it.

" It would, in fact, set a precedent that whistleblowers will get pardoned."

The assumption here is that Snowden is a 'whistle blower'.

Yes - in some instances, especially with respect to his release of information regarding domestic surveillance - he is.

But Snowden released a lot of information that has nothing to do with domestic surveillance, for instance, how the US spies on Russia. This is not 'whistle blowing'.

Someone tell me how releasing that information does not constitute a crime?

I agree that he should be pardoned for his 'whistle blowing' activities. But not for the other stuff.
Looks like there are few errors in your description of Russia.
I've been using Gitlab CI for more than two months now, and it's incredibly simple to set up and really powerful specially with the integration with docker, also, self-hosted gitlab is free.

Yeah. It's still surprising to me, though; P_n can predict extremely long-running computations, even ones with a much longer runtime than P_n, at least as well as any quickly computable "pattern". (The algorithm in the paper uses a (roughly) double-exponential-time algorithm to predict arbitrarily long-running programs, in a way that can't be improved upon by any polytime computable method.)

there is no upside for the person leaving to be candid in an exit interview, nobody wants to burn their bridges, and the amount of change you can effect in the company by leaving is small most of the time (not to mention that having left the employee cannot drive the changes anyways).

I personally think the only thing that might be worthwhile is to have an 'exit questionnaire' where you only have a couple of options in 1-5 (strongly disagree / neutral / strongly agree) with very non-threatening / non-personal areas, something like

The following are areas that I feel contributed to my decision to leave, and put 'compensation', 'technology', 'recognition', 'career', 'life changes'

if your managers are good you should also be able to talk to the person's manager and get some more color on the above, if they have no idea it might be a signal that you might want to double check on how that manager interacts with their reports (regular 1 on 1s? how are the status reports? etc.)

If you see a lot of people leave for 'compensation' it's easy to see where the issue is, 'technology' might make you adjust the messaging you do in interviews (not everybody can work on the latest and greatest) for 'recognition/career' you can figure out if your promotions / career ladder are ok, and if somebody is leaving because their life circumstances change, well, not much you can do

I think this is better than having a forced session where the employee tries to not burn any bridges and you try to infer what they are really thinking

Contracting trades (electrician, plumbing, HVAC, etc.) make great money. I helped a few friends get in the business; they couldn't find jobs with their ITT tech degrees, so I hooked them up with a few general contractors to make ends meet. Fast forward 10 years, and all three of them run their own crews (HVAC mostly) and easily make $200,000 each. They do work hard, 7 days per week, but love their job and take 30 days off between jobs during peak summer. Hanging around their group, I realize that those who succeed in this area have one thing in common: total commitment to hardwork. Very simple, and something many people have in spades but are applying it in dead end desk jobs.
The comment on it is really interesting:

Former employee here that was around when Atlassian received the investment.

Some of your details are wrong and you may want to check back with your source. Atlassian used the proceeds from the Accel Investment to set up the Employee Stock Option Program. In other words, they paid for the lawyers, fees, etc in each country they were located (Australia, Netherlands, and USA) and also paid the taxes we owed to the Australian Tax Office. Nobody received cash (except Mike and Scott) because up to that point none of the employees had equity. We all received an options award shortly after the company announced the Accel investment.

In 2014, T. Rowe Price bought $150 million worth of share from current and former employees. This was the only time we were given the opportunity for liquidity prior to the IPO.

This is in the vein of "prediction using ensembles of experts" methods such as SI, with a twist that the experts are traders, not forecasters; they don't have to have opinions on everything the logical inductor has to predict, the traders just have to point out particular ways that the logical inductor is being silly (and then the logical inductor corrects those problems).
I'm all in favor of ad-blocking, but how on Earth are you "forced" to use Facebook and Twitter?

I don't even have a Twitter account, and never did. I don't give two shits what some celebrity has to say in some 160-character burst of text.

I do have a Facebook account, mainly to keep someone else from making one in my name, and also because it's used as an authentication mechanism for some services (like Tinder), but I don't actually spend any time there at all. Why would I? I don't care about seeing family photos for distant relatives or people I knew in high school, and I sure as hell don't want to read a bunch of wacko political BS, which is what most people seem to use the site for. If I want to keep up with friends or family, I use my telephone, email, or I visit them personally.
