If you really cannot understand how stereotyping an entire ethnicity as short money-counters is offensive, you are far beyond help. I should have figured that from the start.

It depresses me that such retrograde, Nazi-level antisemitism is tolerated on Hacker News.

As a Jew, I am offended. And I'm the group who that statement is supposed to "flatter." Think of the Black accountants who Trump apparently thinks are incompetent purely due to the color of their skin. This shit belongs in the 1940s, not 2016.
Do you have a source for #2? It defies belief, why would Obama clip the wings of his likely democratic successor, knowing that a Republican presidential would endanger Obamacare and several other major achievements of his administration?
It's great that they're making these available, but I hope people don't use this as a substitute for actually going to the museum. Art is something best experienced in person. While a Jackson Pollock seems ridiculous on a computer screen, its scale and grandeur are something else in person.
Aren't museums open to the masses already? For example I was at the Louvre about a year ago and shocked at the casualness that tourists touched hundreds of years old objects with -- even when these objects had do not touch signs on them. What scares me is that our culture will wind up in the homes and offices of the wealth, truly hidden away from the masses. Seeing the way some museums "guard" their art, I'm really surprised donors still let us mere mortals breathe on their million dollar investments.

I think that you are missing the big picture.

To you it is a better numpy/python, to me it is a faster/cleaner/more parallelizable version of R, to some people it is a cleaner/faster version of Matlab.

This could be seen as a "kitchen sink" approach but it also is very useful when you want to get things done. My gripes about Julia are really minor considering how young and ambitious the project is.

Ask HN: What are some iOS apps with the best design?
I am a sucker for design, if the app looks good, but does nothing, I am probably going to keep it. I love minimalism and simple UI.

So tell me HN, what are some of these kinds of apps?
Honestly, I don't know the applicable laws very well (or at all). This was just an honest question.

Given all the contention over the HRC email thing and specifically over this reddit revelation, I'm not so sure that the situation we have is clearly defined within the laws (otherwise why wouldn't everything be clear cut and decided already?).
There is always someone 'short' on a trade, and another party 'long', but nobody is necessarily 'shorting' a future for someone else to be buying it (as the seller may be a producer selling future production).
You're going to call me crazy. But using Xamarin to develop Android apps in C# via Visual Studio is seriously a better experience than using the Android Studio. At least, that's been my experience with simple personal projects -- perhaps if you are Facebook or Instagram that's not the case.

The API is almost the same, sure. But things like class attributes, null-coalescing, lack of Gradle, automatically generated getters and setters which can be overloaded... I had more fun writing a personal app for fun in Xamarin than I ever did in Android Studio, which only ever frustrated me, even though I love the IDE it is based upon.
Processing has been mentioned upstream, and is easy enough to do most of what you put forth.

I have been in a time vortex playing with Raylib [3], a C-based game environment that is cross platform, easy to setup and comes with plenty of examples. I have modified the included game examples, and created a Windows .exe, an Android apk, and a web-based version (via Emscripten) with no hassles.

Disclaimer: I am not a gamer, but the area of games brings a lot of the things I am interested in to study. I am also interested in NetLogo for simulations and the subject of 'serious games', or 'applied games', which are not a bash on recreational gaming, but a name for games used in things like civic planning, scientific exploration, or basically simulations vs. entertainment.

I am now onto putting some long-forgotten knowledge to use again in reimplementing AI search algorithms, sorting and data structures. It is motivating. Raylib is a pretty simple, yet functional setup for me.

"Calacanis is launching eight newsletters under the Inside brand today (he picked up the name during one of the pivots) — each aimed at specific topics like drones, VR or San Francisco. He says he would like to have hundreds of them, each produced by curators working remotely."

Jason keeps plugging away at launches. Ticks quite a lot of boxes (email, specific topics, curated, low cost).
Some examples:

- In the west we usually identify distinct types of influence. We even have special words for particular kinds of influence. Nepotism, cronyism, old boys networks, etc. These identify particular types of connection and particular forms of influence. Friendship through a golf club or university hall would be a characteristic aspect of an old boys network, for example. In Finland, you might think of a 'sauna clique' business culture. Also, we think about these types of relationships independently. Someone might be proud of their 'old boy' connections but intolerant of nepotism, seeing one as earned and the other as given. In contrast, guanxi is more of a melting pot. It could mean a lot of things. It's more like the word 'sway' or 'pull' in English, in a networking sense. It incorporates cronyism, family duty, nepotism, friendship, business connections, political power...

- Moral connotations can be completely different. Guanxi is a good thing sometimes, bad thing other times. Giving a key job to your son is bad in a Western company, arguably 'good' in the East. Providing he's not useless.

- You don't leave business networks at the door of the house; guanxi networks permeate friendship/family/business connections. You might not normally introduce a business colleague to a member of your family, in the west. This relates to my earlier point about it being less structured than Western influence systems.

- Reciprocity matters. Let's say I do you a big favour. You pay me back the next day by giving me a set of tickets to get a nice dinner somewhere. By maintaining a balanced relationship we remain friends. In Chinese culture this would be a bit of a faux pas. By repaying immediately and at a similar level to the gift received, you're basically extinguishing the opportunity to develop guanxi immediately - an unfriendly act. Where western relationships tend to be balanced, and quickly, Chinese relationships instead seem to prosper through periods of imbalance, overpayment back, and so on. The scales should not be balanced, they should sway back and forward. This dynamic is characteristic of a good friendship or a good guanxi connection.

Source: sat at the back of a 10-week course on Chinese business studies, during my PhD, and had a friend whose master's thesis topic was contrasting guanxi with western-style 'leverage'. No citations, feel welcome to treat it as hearsay. :)
For completely orthogonal reasons. It's not about what they sell, it's about what they do with the money. More US political candidate financing this year came from the Koch brothers than both major political parties combined. [1]

Congressional policy decisions always have to keep future fundraising prospects in mind. It is not a stretch to describe candidates who depend on Koch largesse to win as "bought and paid for." Keystone XL (a certain pipeline Koch Industries stands to benefit disproportionately from) is a controversial issue, and it ought to be considered with an eye towards policy impact rather than next year's electability.

Every time someone complains about the complexity their only solution seems to be to add more tooling and IDE wizards instead of simplifying things. It's like watching them repeat all the mistakes of Visual Studio in the 00's.

> And does anyone know if it gets better with time or is it a constant struggle?

I'm not super experienced, but I did invest quite a bit of time a few years ago and never got to the point where it was getting any better.
Look, these people have missed out. No one cheated them, they are stuck in a time that says if you are white and not a complete idiot, you can get a factory job and make a good living. But those days are over and being white is no longer the only requirement to living a good life. They look around and no longer see a world where they are naturally at the top and they start to blame others.

If you still don't like it, give Xamarin a shot (yeah I'm kind of pushing Xamarin here just because I couldn't believe how great it was).

To be fair, from her point of view your hours playing Civilization might not balance out her having dinner alone.
This is really important. If you can improve conduction efficiency by a percent or two (let alone lossless) you can put solar panels on the other side of the planet and solve global warming in a pinch by piping power to the dark side. Right now it's about 3% at 100kV iirc which translates to ~40% losses best case which, while almost financially feasible, would also cook the planet in a toaster oven. :P
I thought GP's issue was that the function is shadowing itself within itself, which I think is worse than shadowing a builtin with a similar function.

Also, precedence can definitely matter in law sometimes. For instance, if someone does not enforce a patent or a copyright, that can sometimes lead to loss of such patent/copyright protections. Indeed, this isn't all that similar of a situation, but hey, who knows? I'm not a lawyer.
Feds to Set Rules on Self-Driving Vehicles
Honestly I feel like a lot of this is social. I'm motivated to go and work because my peers all do that to and it's been that way since I was a kid. People I knew in high school went to college. Now my college peers are getting jobs, etc...

Outside of work I play video games a lot because, honestly, nothing else seems worth doing. I'm already decent at video games so let's just keep doing that. I'd be willing to bet that a lot of these people avoid board games due to lack of friends and lack friends because being social is super hard when all of your time is spent on video games. It's a negative cycle that's hard to motivate yourself out of.

On the bright side it's a pretty frugally lifestyle (don't really go out, only vacations I take are staycations, no car, etc...) so I'd imagine that it's a decently sustainable lifestyle for those who don't work or rarely work.

You can reply, you just need to wait a few minutes - it’s an HN feature to prevent people replying in haste.

I have no political agenda. I’m not from the US, I’m not in the US, I can’t vote in this election. I have no horse in this race. I’m an outsider looking in on the stupidity (on both sides).

I am addressing your points - or at least thought I was. Your point as it appears to me (feel free to correct me if I've misinterpreted you) was ‘we need to make people aware of how these white supremacists are promoting their ideals’.

My point is ‘this has the opposite intent of what you expect and like the Streisand effect, it inadvertently helps promote such ideals and gives these people cultural ground that they otherwise wouldn’t be able to occupy. Giving any sort of import to their ravings, makes them more important than they deserve to be, and gives them a degree of control over your actions.'
Bit on the racist side there mullen.
I wouldn't call it very math-y, I'd call it a systematic numbering scheme.
How do you pass data from python to js? e.g. a list of values to plot.
I agree. I find that if I'm in a place where it's easy to pick out expats (Asia), you can get some really good information about the uniqueness of the place you're visiting.

Ask HN: Why does Booking.com have such bad reputation?
I am currently interviewing for a position at Booking.com, researching online, I found out that they have so much bad reputation about the way they treat their developers. I'm really skeptical about continuing with the interview. Are these just disgruntled employees or is their claim credible?
> any emails you generate as part of official business are official records. They're government property.

But not personal emails.

Read the Hill article very carefully and see if it identifies whether we're talking about official business or personal. It doesn't.

The House GOP is careful to avoid making that distinction, because their goal is to feed a sense of impropriety--a goal which seems to be well-met here on HN, judging by the comments.

But the distinction matters, it does exist in law, and it is based on content and parties, not servers. Sending official State business email from a server does not automatically expose the full content of that server to federal record-keeping laws.
I don't think anybody voted to leave the EU to end free trade in the UK.

Trade can be freer without the EU - no slow central bureau deciding with whom we are free to trade. No central price setting. No obligation for HM Government to open tender for public projects to foreign companies - which may seem protectionist, but it's not free trade unless you're free to choose as you please.
I've been doing Android development for ~6 years now. For the last 2 years I've been doing it full time at Google (not on the Android team).

Your first impression is correct. There is a LOT to know and I am still learning new bits every day. And yes you do find most of it out by digging around in the docs or on StackOverflow.

That said, it's an amazing platform to explore because no door is fully closed. Android will let you do practically anything if the user wants you to. That leads to a really gratifying hacking experience where if you just keep digging you can achieve really fun and crazy things that you'd never be able to do on any other platform while working with mostly high-level APIs. It has its own strange logic that I have grown to love.
Dropbox is one of these - not necessarily latency but bandwidth. If LAN sync fails it quickly falls back on uploading/downloading files via Dropbox's servers, which can be expensive depending on what connection you're on. There's no way to debug why LAN sync isn't working and it doesn't seem to respect Windows 10's Metered Network settings.
We can't deny "vision exists". But we can say that vision doesn't work anything like people think it works. (Everyone has a mental model of a camera or webcam.)

Your eye is really more like a flashlight in the dark. And it interprets things way to much (see optical illusions.)

It's easy to dismiss these problems, because you are rarely are in situations where the difference matters. This is no coincidence, since people rarely construct things that our eyes can't process. For example, fluorescent lights are actually turning ON and OFF constantly, but we just happen to not be able to see that. There really is no color purple, we just think it exists.

But it's quite easy to mess people up. See "rotating tunnel illusion", or the experiment where subjects fail to notice they are now giving directions to a different person, or the experiment where people fail to notice a guy in a gorilla suit (!) when given a simple task.

So the upshot is "vision is nothing like you think it is". Maybe we should have different words for the way a computers see things (a lot more reality based) vs the way humans see things (with all their foibles.) Ditto for Consciousness.
The best example that I can think of is the Godfather, the opening scene, oddly enough.

In that scene, somebody wants the Don to go beat the shit out of somebody who beat the shit out of his daughter, and offers to pay money.

In response, the Don asks what he has done to make the other guy disrespect him so.

Guanxi is all about building relationships, not mercenary transactions. In asian culture, if you toss somebody some money for a transaction or a favor, you're treating him disrespectfully as an employee.

The Intel emulators these days are very fast, especially the ones you can create in Android Studio 2.0+. They are still resource hungry (RAM mostly) but they are now faster than developing on a physical device.
If there was no government, there'd be nothing to assign protective tariffs in the first place, and the market would be even 'freer'. As it stands the government still limits transactions to some extent (eg: embargos on hostile nations)

(of course, if there were no government, there wouldn't even be global trade in the first place, but I'm just talking about trade deals here)
I believe it was all onboard, not human operator driven. In the article, Kenneally describes how the robot opens the door and says this: Once it perceives contact with the door knob, it retracts the leg, moves it over a little bit, and then extends it, and that actually all happens within 50 milliseconds, so it’s incredibly fast.

I spend about 80% of my day in Android Studio and It's definitely resource hungry. On my brand new MBP 13" with 16GB RAM and an i7 processor it can still make the whole thing stutter when compiling a medium to large project.

At work my desktop can handle it, but that thing has pretty unrealistic specs.
> The State Department did not get a warrant before asking Clinton and her staff to turn over emails that went through Clinton's server.

Only emails related to official business. The distinction is crucial to these questions of law, but is consistently forgotten or elided, even by this Hill article.
Could be, if you think about it. "Api.ai" is very similar because it also has a three letter name and an ".ai" /s
Fusion's 20 years away. Just like it's always been since ZETA in the late 50s.
I come from the heart of tea-party country. My impression is that people believe government handouts destroy any illusion that one might have of self-sufficiency and instill a sense of helplessness. There could be some merit to this idea. [1]

It's one reason I'm skeptical of basic income. Burying money and putting people to work "mining" it, as Keynes once suggested, might even be a better alternative. [2] :]

For a slightly unrelated but perhaps interesting side note, I doubt most billionaires are flying around in $5m private jets. A Gulfstream G650 runs around $66m. Roman Abramovich owns an Airbus A340-300, among other aircraft, that Wikipedia lists at $238m. $5m might get you a custom interior with a nice exterior paint scheme.

If anyone is interested, here's a link to a firm that designs custom interiors/exteriors for private jets. I believe the Airbus with "Bourkhan" written on the side is Abramovich's.

How about: In the US where there are effectively only two parties, people don't feel like the choices on offer suit their desires? 310M people and only two parties for general elections?

After all, the 'liberal' party in the US would be considered 'far conservative, but not extreme' in other western democracies. Not a lot of choice there.
He's not talking about Powell's actions, where Powell recommended that Clinton use a private email. He's talking about the Bush administration, who avoided any email controversy on their private email server simply by deleting all 22 million emails.

None of them broke any law, as laid out by Comey, who is famous for bashing heads with politicians. The law was executed by Comey faithfully and there was no crime to prosecute.

I roughly browsed most of the comments and noticed that most people who taught themselves programming started earlier than their 20s, which, frankly speaking, surprised me a lot.

I started learning programming when I was in college, which wasn't some serious learning but merely required courses of my major. After I got my bachelor in engineering. I continued to study in a research institute and got a master degree in geosciences. Later on, I started to teach English the moment I graduated.

Right in the beginning of this year, I realized that teaching bored me to death. I still wanted to do something technical. So, I began teaching myself coding in Objective-C. Three month later, I became an iOS programmer.

I don't think I am particularly smart or anything. But, when I worked with people who had one or two more years of programming experience than me (I only I had six month or so doing real programming), their code was just fucking too messy: no comments, using pinyin to spell variables, having no idea what MVC is ...

All I thought was guys you should really take this seriously. Or, you'd better consider doing something that's your strong suit.
