Apologies i meant eXist Gruenderstipendium [1]. I'm aware of the Gründerzuschuss but it's not what most tech startups at that time were funded on, specifically not the one i worked for during my initial 3 months in Berlin.

I should have mentioned the 500 was from a eXist funded startup and i worked at as an "intern" although i was qualified, i just wanted to keep myself fed until i found something that paid, but for internships that was a lot as most got ~300 or nothing, with 500 a month + coffee I could rent by day a bed off of WG gesucht and subsist on falafel. Back then the number of jobs in berlin was really minimal, i struggled to find anything so i moved to Munich.

There are indeed measured weak correlations between seasons and personality. Things like your odds of being bipolar are higher if you were born in late winter, and lower for summer/early fall. (The same correlations exist in the Southern hemisphere, but with the obvious 6 month shift.)

However there aren't correlations between those known correlations and the traits that astrology says that you should have. Therefore there is no known correlation between your astrological description and your personality. And yes, people have attempted to measure this.
Ah, thanks for the clarification. I knew that but worded incorrectly :p
Right now, just wait. I'm not saying they'll be the answer, but it'd be daft to jump ship before waiting to see the new Macbooks that are expected to launch this month.

The question absolutely makes sense. There are no selected file descriptors. Trivially that means no event has occurred on any selected file descriptor. There is nothing undefined here.
Actually I think an "out of court settlement" is a reasonable analogy.
I also agree with this disagreement. Samsung is way too diversified to suffer from this setback.

I am sad because they discontinued the phone. I really like this phone, and can't wait for my next Samsung toy.
Please provide your definition then, instead of leaving us all guessing?

I interpreted 'prescriptive' as making 'should' rather than 'is' statements.

I'm curious why a historical hypothetical, used as part of a reducto ad absurdum, causes you to have negative feelings. Could you explain?

Also, do you have any principle beyond "I have negative feelings" which suggests I shouldn't discuss certain human experiences? If so, what is it?
If you want to save a plot you actually have to put the writing of the plot in the code. It would save as a image like png or svg. If your using the Notebook to share then they should just run the code on their side. If you want to make a report of it you just add one line of code and it will save a PDF/Word/Slide/etc for you in the present working directory.

Sharing the Notebook for them to reproduce your results is just one text file of the RMarkdown file.
That's a slippery slope argument. I know regulating tech is not going to be popular here, and maybe we leave it for corporations that are valued at over a certain amount, but right now foreign governments are hacking our financial services companies, communications companies, phones, laptops, everything. 95% of the time a it's an extremely easy hack that would have been discovered by a routine scan.
The Start: 4-week online bootcamp for aspiring entrepreneurs
I'm really excited to announce The Start! It's a 4-week online bootcamp for those serious about learning how to create and pitch a startup (or have an idea they want to test). The Start was designed based on my years of volunteer work with orgs such as IPN and Thiel Fellowship.

Think of it like a "startup simulation" -- you'll take an idea through validation and pitching, get paired up with co-founders, and work with coaches that have experience with YC, Techstars, & a16z. If you know someone who has been thinking about creating their own startup (or you yourself are interested), learn more and apply at www.TheStart.io. When you apply, mention Hacker News for 15% off.

The Stat aims to teach discipline and self-sufficiency, make students feel some of the highs and lows of being an entrepreneur, and to help them gain skills and mindset needed to take the leap. This is a true passion project for me. If you have any questions, please ask away :)

Happy to look at the facts. That more men than women take coding summer camps, AP CS, have friends who are CS major, or get referrals to top companies sound believable. Presenting evidence in the form of cold hard believable statistics would be nice. I don't see any, but I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, because I believe those claims anyway (though the AP CS stats of recent times might be different - what parent doesn't want their child to program? And women tend to get better grades than men and perform better in school settings, so more women might be in AP CS classes in recent years).

Again, men don't usually do the things you're claiming, either. You're claiming it with the language "women don't usually" because usually means more often than not - over half. But I'm open to changing my mind with stats. I'm happy to look at any you provide.

Do you have stats on most men being sent to coding summer camp as teenagers?
Most men having parents that encourage them to take AP computer science?
Most men having best friends who are in CS?
Most men who refer them for sweet internships at Microsoft and Google?

Men usually don't do those things either. Just because more of the people that do those things are men than women, does not mean men, in general, do those things. That's my point.
Whaat, flagged?!

And why wouldn't a Mars base be dependent on outside supplies? Mars is still a hostile environment.

So one thing that makes Venus attractive is the atmosphere contains everything needed to make breathable air, water, fuel, and plastics[0]. On Mars, water is hard to obtain as one has to extract it from dirt. One of the issues with systems that process granular materials is that they don't work very well. They are over designed, always break down, and typically operate at 63% of their design capability. Oh and scaling laws don't apply to granular materials as they do for fluids, making scale up expensive.

Mining the atmosphere of Venus could be a much simpler process[2]. Currently, liquid oxygen, a product which we 'mine,' from Earth's atmosphere is about as expensive per ton($175) as concrete. In addition air separation plants require so little maintenance that they are often unmanned. At the very least most places that process granular materials require a person to periodically unjam things.

I've had success with the "T style" where I list the stated requirements verbatim from the job posting on one side and how specifically I meet those requirements on the other side. Combined with some narrative about relevant experience, it's way better than just a chronology.
I'm having hard time deciding if this is a cleaner approach than converting subset of x86 asm to 6502 asm[0]. The reassembler seems like it has smaller surface area to worry, more rigid semantics, but then again it is very platform specific..

It's probably not a great idea, but how about legalizing hacking for self-defense? If you get DoSed then those devices, are fair game.

That would shift incentives back to the owners to some extent, since they're basically acceptable targets as long as their devices are insecure.
First NVIDIA solidified their Monopoly by forcing CUDA... then they gimped half-precision on consumer cards.

We really need some more Frameworks that work with OpenCL, so that we can have some competition from AMD, who's consumer cards are not gimped.

I'm not sure I agree. I think games can be a good way to explore the way you apply your morals. You can choose to be a jerk or not, be kind or be a monster -- and since the consequences don't matter, it might even be a truer test.

When I recently re-played Deus Ex (Human revolution), you can choose to play the game in a pretty much pacifist way. I didn't do that, but at the same time I didn't go laying a trail of carnage through the city, killing the police, etc.

The game puts you in situations where you usually have a choice about your actions -- I can sneak around (harder), I can kill the guard, I can kill the police officer, etc. I had no problem killing the mercenaries that would shoot me if they saw me, but after killing an NPC police officer (in frustration after setting off alarms), I felt compelled to do it again until I could master doing nonlethal takedowns, or knock them out with a sedative dart.

I don't think this is a matter of having a problem separating fantasy and reality. Rather, it's a lens to look at our own behavior and feelings about violence. I have no problem shooting other players in the face in a game like Call of Duty or Counter-Strike (which is effectively paintball), but I get deeply disturbed at the idea of killing (or spawning + harvesting?) non-hostile NPCs in games like Minecraft or Deus Ex.

There are tons of tools, of course also including jslint, debuggers (e.g. IntelliJ, dunno about others). There are editors and even IDEs. Then there’s the problem of bringing (NPM) modules to the browser using tools like webpack or SystemJS or whatever. There are general purpose build/automation systems like gulp. There are transpilers that “compile” ES6 to ES5. For any given task, you can probably find at least five programs that do it.

And if you look at all the topics, you’ll find that library management makes up only a small fraction of everything.

This does depend on how savvy a user is. If they're on Win, they can just download the Sysinternals suite and poke around looking for rootkits or obvious attempts of gaining persistence. Autoruns is an invaluable tool for this and I have caught a few nasty rootkits with that. But you are right, a concerning number of people leave the defaults switched on and don't attempt to harden Windows. The first thing I do is uninstall Powershell and lower the attack surface because I don't want another d00d at Blackhat showcasing how he/she used Powershell to gain persistence on a machine for months at a time, sometimes years.

> Do you mean import '/web/X'?

Not if you use a build tool for your frontend.

> Even so, that requires a build tool.

That was basically what I was suggesting. I'm not sure what the other option really is. If you're working within the browser (implied by this being a frontend), then you have to use a build tool since javascript modules/imports haven't landed in any browser yet.
That only means they might eventually stop fulfilling their primary function. But they might remain plugged in and serve as bot without anyone noticing for years.
Following the logic of most mental gymnasts here, the best IT companies should be women-only companies by now. People seem automatically to turn off their brains when discussing anything that might oppose the orthodoxy of affirmative action. This is a case where a bias that first appeared in academia (http://www.news.cornell.edu/stories/2015/04/women-preferred-...) and is now bleeding to corporate life.

If men or any other subgroup are not rising through the ranks as fast, that is a clear discrimination and it is a problem, not an 'achievement'. It's this kind of ill-logic that brings pro-women policies in a bad light.
The phone conversation was reasonable. Kapeli thought it was reasonable. He sent a draft blog post in for review.

THEN, after this phone conversation, they go to the press with a PR release that paints him as a scammer (and doesn't mention any of the circumstances from the phone call). This happens while Kapeli is waiting for his blog post to be reviewed.
A creative marketing agency could totally spin that the phone was so packed with power that it couldn't work, but this new shiny thing is even better and completely safe.

Will this hurt them in the short run? Yes, but unless they die before the next phone is out and gets rave reviews from at least a subgroup, this won't matter long term - does anybody even remember antenna gate?
It's interesting to read about the debate between doing editing/screen-drawing on the physical terminal ('smart' hardware) and doing it all in software. The wheel of reincarnation in action!

Lately, smartphones, desktops and VR or sound: should the processing be done in the headphone/headset or away in in the PC/smartphone?

3.5 years. What buzzwords do I need? I just want to be able to find a job in a few weeks the next time I am looking. I don't think that's too much to ask.

Edit: I misspoke; by "find a job in a few weeks," I meant "start getting interviews within a week or two." No amount of LinkedIn profile magic will help me get a job directly, obviously.
Seems to me that everything up to (and including) the initial ban was relatively sensible. You don't need absolute proof that the two accounts really are linked, it's reasonable enough to see something that indicates they likely are and then take action based on that.

Where it fell apart was failing to account for the possibility that they got it wrong. They should have notified both accounts and explained why both were being banned for the actions of one, then allowed a way to demonstrate than the two weren't really linked in order to reinstate the other account.

Unfortunately, this is pretty typical for how Apple operates the App Store. "We're never wrong, get lost" seems to be their motto. For example, for a long time you couldn't even appeal when your app was rejected. If it was rejected incorrectly, then all you could do is try to submit again and hope you got a different reviewer that time.

The App Store is a direct descendant of the iTunes Music Store, which originally existed to serve a handful of big music publishers. In many ways, it hasn't adapted well to serving a million small developers.
I guess the complain about it is because to founders this is easy to do and gain some juice after failure while employees still get nothing. If it is só I agree with him. Glamourization of failure (privillege of few).
Hi,

Firstly, cheers and congrats, it sounds like you are already doing good work.

My 2 cents: Hold off just a second before finding an ongoing mentor. By 5th grade students can start to get a feel (might be this year or maybe next year) if they like computers or engineering or space exploration or biology or fast cars or another field/type of science work etc...

Finding a mentor in area of science that a student loves, after sampling different areas of science can make a huge difference in terms of sticking power. And it minimizes the potential issue of too many mentors coming in and out of their lives as you find nice scientists who want to help but they don't click with the students.

It sounds like you are already able to teach science and programming and introduce the students to various scientists and companies and labs. I would continue doing this, as sort of a "middle man and a teacher" until an area of science or type of scientific work grabs the student's attention and he/she connects with it and thirsts to learn more about that thing (for me it was astronomy).

Then work on finding a mentor in that area of science.

But virtually everyone knows that they have exploded, has been told to shut them off on flights, has older relatives asking them if their S4 is save, etc... This is not going away, especially since they've been unable to figure out what's going wrong, and have just told people to turn it off.

I wish i was.

Where those figures come from is the time my gf had her wallet stolen with her blue card inside, she was travelling outside of the EU and needed to replace it or get a note asap otherwise she would have a lot of trouble re-entering the country. We queued up from 3am on monday morning at the Ausländerbehörde and were turned away by the administrator because my gf was officially registered in mecklin-vorpommmern and she had to travel there to get this temporary pass. Problem is, she could only take the first train on tuesday morning so she got there at ~9:30am, she was ticket 51, and the office only deals with 50 tickets a day. i kid you not. she was the last in the line as turned away at just pass 17:00, and told to come back tomorrow and try again.
>I want to get work done and move on with life, not play silly office games. Open space floor plans kill my focus.

I always found the people against cubicles but for open floor plans strange. In reality, it's pretty much impossible to build offices for every employee. Cubicles were supposed to be the fix for that. You have a open office with space and partitions to separate you from other people. Then someone said that open offices offer substantial collaboration for employees. The people who were drones in a cubicle farm bought into it, because I supposed it was a change from the Office Space type scenery.

But now all we get are interruptions with no recourse. We have desks that are fixed to other desks or desks that are clustered together where the only thing that separates you from your neighbor is your monitor. Everything is open, so now the collaboration areas (they're meeting areas, but calling it collaboration areas make it agile or some crap like that) aren't fully enclosed. Everyone in a 30 foot radius gets to sit in on the meeting as well!

From the other side, I get management types telling me to keep my voice down, because I'm disturbing the collaborators. Never mind that I'm trying to get work done by hammering out details with other devs and testers - their meeting that encroaches on my space in always more important. So much more important that their jokes, their laughs, their applause, their voices, and any other other form of noise have no upper noise limit. No sweat though, it's not like I'm working or anything.

Heaven forbid I do anything like open personal email, bank account info, etc.
The person to my left, to my right, behind me, and that small cluster of 5 people in that collaboration area can see my screen as plain as day.

But cubicles are somehow terrible.

UL and similar agencies already check that plugging a device into your electrical system doesn't set something on fire. They have simple, yet strict standards that must be applied.

Likewise the FCC is very particular about radio emissions and will outright reject your product if it's too noisy.

You're taking one particular interpretation and treating that as the absolute truth. It's not. You've got a liberal interpretation, and a strict interpretation leaves it undefined. Just because you don't think it should be interpreted strictly doesn't mean the strict interpretation isn't a valid way to read it.
