The low hanging fruit would be just to source in the beginning. As we expand and develop a "platform" we will start doing more recruiting as a service and try to replace the agency recruiter/assist the corporate internal recruiter
I think in that framing, we've been to Mars, we are past accidentally sailing there. We know it is a dusty barren rock.
A good idea, for sure. I'm wondering if there were a self-deleting aspect that could be introduced as well.

I think Bloomberg LP is actually a good candidate for buying Twitter. Bloomberg already dominates the business-data and financial-news space. Twitter could be their channel for consumers. They could take Twitter private, and reduce the market pressure for quarterly metrics. Leverage their in-house technology to cut operational costs. And feed data from Twitter into their terminals for consumption by financial markets where appropriate.

> Drivers don’t come close to paying for the costs of the roads they use.

Why should they? Roads are not there only for those actually using them: they are meant to be always available for everyone. Imagine a road that is used only from time to time, just by emergency vehicles: don't you agree that would be a reasonable way to spend tax money?
Brutalism is Back
Great job!
I've been working on a related tool that could be useful as well.

http://hnlive.tk/static/index.html is a "live" HN activity meter.

I wrote it for myself. Anytime before posting to HN, I use it to decide if the activity on the site is high enough. Right now the graph says, current time has the highest activity spike in the past 24 hours.

It's far from done. I'm yet to plot answers to few more common questions, backed by realtime data. Like say,

+ Which weekday had the highest activity, last week?

+ Which weekday usually has high activity?

+ What time slot last week had the highest activity spike?
If you tax/toll on per-axle weight, trucks will add axles, reducing road wear.
It was not always just desperately holding the line. There was definitely an aspect of actually exterminating unwanted elements by sending them to missions that couldn't be accomplished or which could only be accomplished through overwhelming losses.

Well, it depends on how wealthy you are and the jurisdiction you live in. Loans are not taxable income and if you would have to pay some sort of withholding tax on a dividend (if you would want to borrow against your illiquid shares for example), then it might make sense to take out a personal loan. A bank might also be more keen to give you a loan personally.

But yes, obviously not that common. Random Joe won't be getting these. Random Joe doesn't have $20m in assets either, though.
That's exactly what 4chan did with Microsoft's Tay bot on Twitter.
Do you have anything to back that up?

For now this could just be some random internet person's tale.

Why not add this (npm's response) to the discussion on the other thread?

Edit: which I just did.
On Euler you're asked for the answer, not an implementation solving the problem. This means that you can solve the problem with an implementation that takes days to run or require some manual steps. On Kattis you submit source code to the system, so the runtime limit will be on the order of seconds (definitely not days).

Topcoder has "more interface". With Kattis you would typically code in whatever editor/IDE you have and prefer. Also, Topcoder asks you to implement a function, Kattis asks you to write an entire program. The most important (?) difference being that the latter includes I/O.
You still have your rights, even if you are accused of being in isis or whatever.
Give me the fire hose - don't force me to rely on a feed of who I follow or run searches for hashtags - then I'll come back to daily use. The 'stream' of consciousness totality is far more interesting to observe, then jump into when something 'pops'. TW for news? Yawn...
Astrology is correlated to seasonal climate change etc. which can plausibly affect life outcomes, though
I'm talking about the study I just linked, not the article that started this discussion.
Here is npm's response: http://blog.npmjs.org/post/151660845210/hello-yarn
thanks for the tip, it worked wonderfully.
Fantastic book, great ideas.
It sounds like you actually worry about his kind of thing a great deal, considering the amount of effort you put in.
Multi-monitor support got pretty effed up around 10.7 or 10.8. It had something to do with the new full screen app mode.

It seems like 10.6 is the agreed-upon high point for macOS - then the porting of iOS designs/features (remember those linen textures?) resulted in more UX issues and bugs than usual. Thankfully it has improved significantly since then, though.
Can you make yarn out of hair?
Similar [dead rocks], or [similarly dead] rocks ?

Also, I think there are only finitely many eventually observable planets in the universe?
The longest lived lander to make it onto the surface of Venus lasted less than 2 hours. Atmospheric probes haven't even made it past a day.

Meanwhile, we have rovers on Mars that have outlived their mission parameters by years.

You're going to have to explain how we're going to settle Venus before Mars.
Should you commit the yarn lockfile to version control?
Yes I would. Given the inconsistency of results that the Myers-Briggs test outputs for individuals, the personality of that person who tested as an INTJ could be far from it normally.

Furthermore, your willingness to buy into the narrative (and others' willingness to also believe it) that by categorizing certain people into stereotypes and assuming that most of these people tend to excel at a particular set of tasks is most likely what limits them from excelling at tasks that lie outside of their respective sets just as much as their true predisposition to not excelling at them.
So... you are saying that one of the impressive accomplishments (Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen) of one of the American Founding Fathers (T. Jefferson) was... 'Meh.' a cop-out?
npm treats the package.json engines field as advisory, but yarn is strict about it. maybe that's you're problem
One big problem I have with these personality classifications (MBTI, Type-A/Type-B) is it assumes that personality traits are bimodal instead of normally distributed. MBTI would have made sense if the population was split 50-50 into E/I etc. but in reality most people fall somewhere in the middle.
It was a typical flags and footprints mission without much thought given to cost, so it ended up having a sticker price of about a trillion dollars, give or take. Congress hated it so much that they curtailed even the hint of talk about a Mars mission by NASA for well over a decade.
Yeah I was surprised to see that he didn't mention SpaceX anywhere in the article. It seems that Elon usually pays tribute to NASA -- he did in his Mars announcement.

It seems like if there are only two entities trying to go to Mars, and they work together through a contracting relationship, then it makes sense to mention the relation to the other one.

Otherwise I'm just left confused about the two efforts.
> This also highlights a shrewd move on the part of npm: a clear decoupling between the npm registry and client, with a well-defined protocol between the two. The strength of Node is in the staggering size of its ecosystem; how those bits end up on disk is an implementation detail. This smart separation allows for this kind of experimentation on the client side, without causing the ecosystem fragmentation that happens when a new package manager requires a new registry.

And a shrewd move by FB: to not announce their new registry on the same day.
I'll be honest, giant factor speedups are awesome, and I always look forward to writeups about the discovery process and such, but I'm of the opinion that the presence of those optimizations in recent history means the software is often many years from actual maturity and suitability for production usage.

Either way, looking forward to reading about where the optimizations themselves came from.
In my opinion, the Meyers Briggs is useful mainly because it can help people become more self-aware and more empathetic toward others.

Could this be the placebo effect? I once read a comment, that all self-help methods are successful, simply because they make you self conscious. The personality test gives the impression of being a carefully developed machine that can peer into your soul. Does it need to be real, in order to be useful?

I've observed that in a group of 15 people who just got their Meyers Briggs results, several usually think it was uncannily accurate, and a few are immediately defensive because the result does not jive with their self-perception (usually because the personality type is described as similar to some unsavory characters from history). When I read articles criticizing Meyers Briggs, I always assume it was written by one of these people.

But isn't that an argumentum ad hominem? At the very least, it's a good reason why an individual's personal impression of the results is a poor source of validation. The ones who think it's accurate could be wrong too.

On the other hand, in a workplace situation, the defensive ones are simply not thinking tactically.
I have both mac and Linux laptops and find Linux generally more stable and reliable.
Thanks for the report - I actually noticed from spell checker (not being a native speaker) the other day that 'almanach' is not the most common spelling, but it is listed as an alternate spelling on wikipedia, so unless it obviously comes across as a typo we'd keep it (to perhaps make it sound more like a DnD spellbook ;-) )
Techcrunch looks great in Reader mode.
I think the point of a TL;DR is to allow those short in time to still take some points away, or to give an overview and entice to consume the entire thing.

I'd say "Cloudflare recommends Cloudflare" is pretty uninformative while a TL;DR isn't.
That Clinton thing is still unproven. It's not like it's a fact at the moment.
Poorly built roads will do this, yes. However roads with proper and deep foundations will crack very little due to frost heaves and other assorted phenomenon.

The difference is night and day when going between my hometown in Montana and a similarly sized city in Iowa. Our asphalt roads are well kept and maintained, but the roads in Iowa are a buckled nightmare.
It would be tough to take the existing app and reupload it, but this guy could certainly provide another developer with a built binary which they would then submit.

You'd have to be mad to actually do that, though. We see quite clearly how Apple can react when they think they've been wronged, and who knows what that binary actually contains.

Seems like the best approach would be to open source it and convince somebody (perhaps several somebodies) to build it from source and put it on the store for free. Obviously, the source release would need to be under a license that was compatible with an App Store release (i.e. no GPL).
It seems like a failure of imagination to me that the main plan is to start off sending lots of people to Mars. People are heavy, they need heavy life support, they're fragile & they require complex infrastructure to survive. If any of that support infrastructure breaks or there's an interruption in resupply missions the people die. Probably they fight to see who dies first and waste valuable resources.

Yes people are very versatile but almost everything useful is going to be sent from earth for decades. If the plan for building human supporting infrastructure is well thought out we shouldn't need much versatility.

Why not send as few humans as you can possibly get away with and as much semi-autonomous & remote operated machinery as possible. Get some of the 7 billion people on earth to design it, drive it & continually improve how autonomous it is (I imagine lag to mars will be a bitch).

This seems a far faster way to build a self sustaining mars backup civ. Bonus in that at some point this leads to self replicating self directed robots at which point send them to the asteroid belt & everyone can retire.

To that end anyone want to make a remote operated maker space? Buy some cheap land or warehouse. Ship in raw materials and see if we can build a robot factory by remote. Price of admission is sending a remote operated vehicle guess we can wire it up and broadcast it to the web. Hopefully that can fund someone to replace batteries when they inevitably run flat.
Then please point me to the research, because the article does a lousy job at it.

Saying that any profiling technique has zero predictive value is a very bold claim.

Even one's astrological sign has predictive value: [1]. And yes, this has been scientifically proven.

That is likely to get the "fellow developer" banned/suspended with the current App store policy.
But, it is "Certified UNIX".

http://www.unix.org/what_is_unix/history_timeline.html

I liked OS9 better. I never understood the move to OSX, which instantly made all OS9 software perform worse or not perform at all.

It is nice that Apple tried to make UNIX users a little more at home with a BSD-like userland. But BSD, Linux, Plan9 all have better kernels than Apple.
We know what's on Mars and there isn't much there that isn't better sourced here, unless you want to use what you source on Mars itself. And there won't be a significant consumption base there for literally centuries, if ever.

I'm in favor of human off-world activities, but I think it's a joke to make some kind of free-market argument. We should do it because we should do it, not because of invisible hands.
"poll() is defined by POSIX and The Single Unix Specification"

This makes me wonder if Apple really earned the Unix certification. If it didn't, then the Open Group should be ashamed.
If a bot could talk to me, and read Wikipedia, and figure out how to get me from the place I am in understanding a topic to where the Wikipedia explanation is, that would be crazy amazing. I don't even know if this would be particularly intractable at this point... the figuring out where I am currently at in understanding would probably be the difficult part.
I've often found if you lead the effort yourself, and then ask for their input, this usually works well. If you wait for someone else to take the first step, it's usually not going to happen.

Start by creating a Github wiki for documentation for both front-end and back-end API's. Add them as collaborators, or create them right inside each existing repo if you can. Populate the back-end one as best you can to your knowledge, then ask for them to validate.

I always think of documentation as a note to my future self. In X months, what won't I remember?
This is a very optimistic view of the president's space exploration legacy. Cancelling George W. Bush's 'Vision for Space Exploration' may have been a wise political move, but doing so delayed the project by 8 years, with relatively little technical gain. We are now looking at spending 25 billion dollars for development, and 2 billion more per additional launch, with the aim of reaching an asteroid in the mid-2020s, and Mars in ~2040.

I will be shocked if the Space Launch System (A.K.A. SLS, Senate Launch System) takes humans to the moon, and I will be dumbstruck if anyone uses it to go to Mars. The system is simply too expensive, and the projected launch rate is too low for it to be useful. In addition, the system is too politically vulnerable, as the program would have to survive more than 20 years for someone to use it to go to Mars. Much like the current president cancelled his predecessor's plan, a future president will cancel this one.
Would you mind going a bit into detail? I work with npm on a daily basis and I am pretty happy so far.
This is why you must use Honey Encryption https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Honey_Encryption
Agreed MacOS/OSX, iOS, WatchOS, and TVOS all are user-land modifications of Darwin/XNU (Next-OS kernel), which is a modification of Mach (BSD-like research kernel).
As noted in sibling comments, it is VERY common for large donations to come with strings attached (yes, there are contracts dictating the terms). Just look at colleges in the US - every time a donor funds a new stadium, there is an uproar about funding it over academic pursuits, but the college is usually hamstrung by the terms of the donation - they simply can't use the funds in a way not specified by the donor. Same thing applies to Harvard's massive endowment - they can't use it as a giant slush fund - much of the money was given with a specific goal in mind.

Edit - and yes, I realize money is fungible, and to an extent donating for a stadium frees up funds that aren't earmarked, but if everybody donates for stadiums and nobody donates for general spending, there isn't much to be done (beyond asking the donors to revise contracts).
Similar setup. Two IP cameras, one wired with PoE and one WiFi. Both connect to my NAS via their own network that has no direct access to the WAN but can be accessed from the LAN or via VPN. I guess there could be some level of attack surface if someone is dedicated enough to gain access to my "normal" network (the one for PCs and stuff that access the WAN) and through this, gain access to the cameras.

But they don't announce themselves to the WAN and despite the fact that I may be naive, I don't think there is any reason I would be an attractive enough target for someone to try to gain roundabout access via a PC or phone on the WAN-enabled network.

Same thing with the Hues. No "cloud" stuff enabled and still work fine in the house where I need them to work.

I guess I like the idea of network-accessible devices (at least ones that make sense to control or access via the network) but there isn't much that I want accessing the WAN compared to the items that have the ability baked in.

I've annoyed several friends by pleading with them not to buy those "just connect to your wifi and view on our iPhone app!" cameras because I've seen how easy it is to find and exploit these via Shodan and friends. Most people don't ever even open the web interface to set up a password since it clearly shows up on the phone app and "it's just so easy!"
I don't mean it's rational, i mean good enough, at least it's in the same ballpark of getting someone drunk.

It's not scientific, it's totally based in reason. It's reasonable to deny global warming because winters are getting colder than ever. It's not reasonable to deny climate change because winters are getting colder than ever.

There's nothing wrong with someone drawing a conclusion from their personal experience, that's going to be full of emotion, opinion and hopefully some logic.

I get your concern, but the same folks who make hiring decisions based on Myers Briggs will tell you angels were watching over them when they narrowly avoided a car crash. Or their relative visited them a month after they passed away. it's mostly benign. When it's not benign, they're unreasonable. Only then is it possibly worth the effort to persuade them to be a bit more rational.

But, yes. I mean 'rhetorically useful' or 'a social hack'
Looks like an interesting blog in general, thanks for sharing.
Yup, this is my answer. I'm slowly building an in-house software suite .. because i can, i guess, and a big thing i'm wanting is to tie it all together with a human friendly administrative program.

The main thing stopping me is NLP. Ideally, i want this offline only as i am unsure how much of my life i want to leave my home network.
Oh Okay. Good one. Thanks for the blog ref #openess
For what it's worth, the name is really cool. I just looked up the etymology of Node and it comes from Latin `nodus` meaning knot. So if a Node program is the knot, then the stuff that makes it up and that it comes from must be the yarn! Language is fun.
> Is road damage from vehicles the main cause for road maintenance? In the midwest, I am 90% sure that the reason roads break apart is the freeze and thaw cycles in winter.

Both of them. Where I live, in a mountain region in France, temporary restrictions are put in place during a handful of days between the last winter cold and the first spring sun: heavy vehicles are forbidden to go over smaller roads, as the ongoing defrosting is a weakening factor and not every road is as though as a motorway.

They may put backdoor into future cryto systems, and they may have already put a backdoor into existing crypto systems. Just as possibly they may know a cryto system is weak and not tell anyone, or suggest an improvement to a proposed cyrpto system.

So, really unless you understand the advice you can't judge their suggestions.
Hi Everhusk, I don't specifically call it out in the article, but the code is actually reusing database connections. As mentioned in other comments, the trick is to establish the connection outside of the handler so that the connection only happens once per container.
Reddit and Hacker News comments are surprisingly good data. They cover a wide array of topics and writing styles, generally written better than Facebook comments or Twitter, easier to process than Common Crawl or ukWac, and less rigid than newspaper writing.
Profit is the accumulation of capital. What you've described is a way of pursuing profit. Outside of economics, I think the word "profit" is meaningless.

As you've demonstrated, however, there are two conflicting senses of the word "sustainable". Sustainability for a business means that it accumulates more capital than it expends. Sustainability for human beings is a much fuzzier notion that is tied up in the idea of health: the health of the individual, of our species, and of our environment. We can sacrifice health from these areas to reach different goals, but if our actions continuously deplete it, then they aren't sustainable.

Is it possible to express the human sense of sustainability systematically? I'm not convinced it is, as I think it requires vision and sensitivity to understand health. So I think we need a legal structure which is sensitive in this way in order to create a sustainable society.
The argument in the article is misleading given the data it presents. What it should have said is that drivers pay for roads both via the gas tax AND by other forms of tax. The portion paid by the gas tax is itself not enough to cover road maintenance.

Of course, this means that some non-drivers and non-car-owners also pay taxes used for road maintenance. It would have been worthwhile for the author to look up those numbers and tell how much non-drivers pay. Given that most Americans drive, this argument probably wouldn't have the same impact as the one presented in the article.
I agree. Please read my reply to the parent.
it's almost self confirming right? so if you believe you are an INTJ, you might start taking on INTJ traits or become biased in self evaluating those in yourself.

i get the business and HR "value" (yes, in quotes :), but i largely view this as "astrology for top 50 university people", ie people who want to believe in some collective unconsciousness affinities, peppered with scientific plausibility. especially with regard to application in personal life
