I'm not sure your conception of "hatred" would cover all the bases to your satisfaction.

For example, most people (perhaps including you) feel hatred to many of Hitler's actions during WWII. But I doubt people feel that way due to ignorance or fear of the unknown.
There are many kinds of fraud with different patterns. Some have a lot to do with what you sell, but others can affect anyone that takes credit cards.

For instance, fraudsters that have received a bunch of stolen credit card numbers will want to test which cards are still good. They'll do that by making a small purchase at an online retailer, and if the charge clears, then use the card to get something illegitimately. While you might not be a good target for that second step, anyone that takes credit cards and has weak fraud protection steps will be a target.

What one day looks like an unexpected spike in sales becomes a huge spike in chargebacks later, as all of those sales were fraudulent. I am pretty sure there's been stories in Hacker News about this.
Advocating firing and industry shunning over political opinion seems way more dangerous to me than offensive speech. What are we becoming?

These people honestly havent a fucking clue what they are talking about. As a father of three, I politely smile whenever someone like this tries to give me some advice. There might be some truth there, but there is a whole bunch of naiveté and ignorance as well. A battle-hardened parent actually does know whats best for their child, not some arm-chair person.

Sorry what?
I gave my iPad to my kids and "upgraded" to a Surface Pro 3 a while ago and I regret it every morning when I sit down with my breakfast to read hacker news.

It's not a good tablet, and it's not a good laptop. It attempts to sit in the middle which is not what I want.

I was expecting the tablet interface to be a lot more finished, but there are a lot of rough edges and missing features.

I'll be going back to iPad on the next cycle.

As a long time OSX user as well, I was surprised to see how unpolished Windows 10 Desktop is as well.
This is not at all what I see in the communities I read. There is plenty of discussion on approaching arguments ("shit tests") but it's not in any way manipulation, it's just learning to not escalate and resolve tension by diffusing it. I've literally never once seen negging mentioned in the months I've been reading. The only type of advice I see about talking to women is "talk to them like human beings and like anyone else" though they do make recommendations on showing indicators of interest (placing a hand on her shoulder as you both laugh about something for example). I understand why stuff like that could be controversial to some, but overwhelmingly it's said to leave her alone if she's not interested or asks you to leave so I would hope that would prevent any sort of triggering or discomfort for sensitive or vulnerable women. I guess if I looked at the more PUA focused communities I could come across the shittier stuff.
The basic issue is that derived data should not be included in base relations -- they belong in derived relations, such as views.
I'm already using this for all my project notes. IMHO, this is the most user-friendly TODO app I've ever encountered. And behind the covers it allows me to have heavily personalized lists with important tasks jumping at me out of the screen.

Marko, I hope you'll keep this one up, I'd really hate to have to export my lists to another app...not that I have an alternative on my mind :)
It's not condescending to point out hypocrisy. Why don't you encourage them to do the Christian thing and open their doors to all economic classes, just like Jesus did. No need to act enabling.
Nothing serious. In both cases the parents were told to stop doing it. AFAIK they apologized and complied (or instructed their kids to act as if there were an adult in the house).
Yahoo Demands Transparency from the Director of National Intelligence
Lately HN seems dominated by politics, opinion pieces, and pop-sci stuff. Someone should do a simple keyword analysis of the last 5 years and see if this is true. Some sort of HN trend analysis would be a great weekend project.
>Your claim was stronger, and I quote you: "The average EU citizen has absolutely no idea what ESA is or does."

And I stand by that. Unfortunately I don't have something like the Mechanical Turk for Europe to do a poll.
Please define "bigotry" and explain, in very if-A-then-B form, exactly how "mansplain" is either an example of bigotry or encourages such.

If you believe that words mean things--which, even in today's climate, is a generally accepted position--this might be a difficult one for you.
The Pill Freaks of Silicon Valley
So when Hillary wants to help women, who already get vastly lower prison sentences than men, get even lower prison sentences... what do we call that?

The people who support diversity and yet support Hillary seems to disagree with your last line.
Granted, nobody died, NASA got great press from the Hubble, and it made the shuttle seem useful. And sure funding would have been harder due to less feel good missions, but easier from 1+ billion lower costs. So, I am not going to call it the dumbest thing NASA has done.

However, as to lifespan, from April 24, 1990 to Dec, 1993 the Hubble was significantly 'impaired'. If the next two averaged 10-12 years and the original continued to be useful for a few years that's well past break even. Especially considering the Hubble always suffered from a defective mirror even after the first servicing mission help that's not unreasonable.

PS: By designing to fail I don't mean they intentionally made it worse, just assuming servicing caused a wide range of problems. Sure, NASA did learn something from going though this exercise. But the highly political nature of the organization limits such benefits.

Edit: Yes, many telescopes had a very short lifespan though that was often by design. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rossi_X-ray_Timing_Explorer Mission duration 16 years, 6 days. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Ultraviolet_Expl... 18 years. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MOST_(satellite) 13+ (still up) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spitzer_Space_Telescope 13 years and counting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PAMELA_detector 10 years and counting. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_Anomalous_and_Magnetosph... 11 years 11 months. There are also quite a few up which may or may not last a long time.
+1. I think the best response to this particular HN article is to walk away and hope they stop posting stuff like this.
I've found that using a debugger will often hide certain race conditions. I'm biased towards logging rather than a debugger partially for this reason, but also I'm lazy.

It seems that you have missed the Settings and Help tabs :)

Tasks are saved in localStorage. Alternatively, you may create a GitHub Gist access token and save it there. Just follow the instructions on the Settings page. It's easy.

You can move tasks by selecting them and pressing Ctrl + Left/Right/Up/Down.

I'm not sure if drag/drop is really needed, once you get used to it.
Power adapters break all the time and there is a very real risk of burning down your house when they do. Electrical fires are not rare. Take a look at an Apple charger vs a counterfeit. The lack of proper circuit isolation on the counterfeit is a prime example of how to cause a fire when a component fails.

Voting for the lesser of two evils is a tactical voting maneuver and you don't necessarily believe anything at all about what a candidate affirmatively supports. This is as applicable to one side as the other. Almost all of my friends are supporting the same candidate, and none of them are doing so because of her positions.
This is really well done! Feature request: would love to see a VIM mode. I think VIM semantics would be really intuitive here. Obviously more of a "power" user feature.
If you actually value technical content, there are better sites. HN has been catering primarily to entrepreneurs for the last several years. The community normalized political discussion and content marketing a while back, and from those depths it is difficult to return.

I have theories on how sites like this evolve, but will refrain from brain-dumping unless folks are interested.
I'm not entirely certain normalizing hyperbole makes sense here. There's a massive difference between ensuring children are safe and supported, and never letting them do anything without supervision or face any consequences up to and including when they go to college or join the workforce. There's an equally vast gap between taking eyes off a child for a few seconds, and outright neglect. Likewise, there's a universe of difference between basic precautions and the equivalent of a Safe Space (tm).

Yeah, I get that people are going to naturally jump to conclusions. Yet glossing over the minutiae is exactly how we got into the situation where everyone is jumping at shadows in the first place. Everyone's a rapist! Children are being mowed down in the streets! Drugs are everywhere! Never go outside! Anything else is literal child abuse! How dare you!

How does catering to social media because it might overreact fix that? How is that encouraging empathy? What makes this a "big problem?" Isn't relaxing our iron grip just a tiny fragment and rolling some of this hysteria back slightly do exactly that? Empathy for the situation instead of zealous indignation?
But "you need to learn the hard way everybody else did it before X formula/equation was developed!"

I agree it's nice to know the logic and background that is the foundation of how we got _here_, but sometimes the older details aren't really as important and take away time from students learning the modern, more useful techniques and concepts.

One of the big things about kids and math these days is that you have less and less of their attention. If they see it's getting too hard, most don't take the challenge and they just put less effort in.
That is not in conflict with what I said
Bought a $300 turn table that was being sold directly by Amazon. Package turned up with the box beat to hell. I opened it up and found that all of the accessories (the cartridge, platter, etc.) had been taken out of their factory packaging and put in zip-locks and were just commingled in the box.

Amazon picked it up and returned it for free and the second one came factory sealed. But it definitely ruined my evening plans and I ended up waiting four more days for an unopened package to arrive.

I'm still pretty sour on it, and Amazon has pretty much lost out on any big electronics purchases from me in the future.
Recognizing and calling out a particular common gendered pattern of condescension isn't bigotry toward anyone.
I'd say it's about social objects. One of the important thing about culture in general is the feeling of sharing it, which in particular means knowing that you'll have someone to talk with about what you jut experienced. That's why I believe culture tends to gravitate towards the same small set of works (with additional "notable works" in ever expanding amount of genres), and it doesn't matter whether or not it's a good work - it has just to be decent enough and get popular fast enough to stick.

As for old vs. new movies, I guess I go to cinemas because a) good, big screen and loud audio gives an experience that I can't reproduce at home, and b) cinemas generally don't play old movies! And even if they did, then c) old movies I can stream/Torrent on-demand, it's the new movies that are difficult to get. As for the reason to go see them vs. wait until they're streamable on-line, it's social objects again - when I go and watch the new Avengers movie while it's still in cinemas, I can join the conversation with my friends who just watched it too.
Maybe not the best argument in favor of continuing the practice since those areas also tend to have higher levels of gang membership and drug use.
It has been shown repeatedly, but I will just link you to a nice story by the Washington Post (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/07/29/the-s...) regarding the 4th Circuit Court utterly destroying the North Carolina voter ID law a couple of months ago as being strictly about disenfranchisement of poor and minority voters. If you read the ruling (linked to in the article) the court shows exactly how the conditions of the law were decided and evidence that such conditions were specifically aimed to disenfranchise these voters.

I do not need to dig hard to provide such evidence because the courts are doing quite well at digging them up. On the other hand, you fail again and again to show that in-person voter fraud is actual a problem in this country. If you wish to create additional constraints on exercising a fundamental right I am sorry, but we are going to require you to actually make the case that these constraints are serving democracy and not just your desire to keep poor and minority voters out of the polling booth.

Irrelevant to the discussed case. When you start vandalizing posters at work it is no longer a case of just "ignoring history".

I think what the author was trying to get at with 'some people believe' is that most of the 'reasons' people fall back on to support their positions are in fact simply personal opinions. Or opinions reinforced by there social group or social media 'friends'.

Extreme polarisation is one of the results of segregation. The media and now academia with 'safe spaces' are pandering to segregationist impulses. People who are never challenged with opinions that they disagree with are much more likely to believe there opinions are facts. Or even that they simply they do not need to even consider opinions that disagree with there own and never develop the social skills to constructive deal with a diverse world of ideas and opinions.
It sounds like the investment paid off, but if you don't mind me asking, what did the bootcamp cost?
How to estimate volume costs in hardware project?
I'm working on a hardware project, and I am deciding on several avenues of hardware. My question is, how do I evaluate each avenue? I assume my hardware will be assembled in China for cost purposes, but the only places I know to get quotes for hardware are avnet express, digikey, arrow, etc. Large distributors.

Not to mention, image sensors are incredibly difficult to source. Long range wireless radios are a bit easier, but for me still difficult.

Does HN have any advice?
> On its own, a bimodal distribution does not tell you that a model is good. (A vacuous model that randomly assigns probabilities of just 0.0 and 1.0 would also have a bimodal score distribution.) However, in the presence of evidence that transactions with a low score are not fraudulent and transactions with a high score are fraudulent, an increasingly bimodal distribution is a sign of improved efficacy for a model.

To do this more precisely, a scoring rule (https://wiki.lesswrong.com/wiki/Scoring_rule) gives a system credit for both (1) making accurate predictions and (2) being confident at the right times.
Interesting that Apple is concerned about the fire and electric shock hazard of the knock-off charger cables when their own cables are brittle as hell and subject to the same issues.

Almost entirely across the board, Apple's hardware hardware quality is absolutely unmatched or comparable with industry leading standards except for their flimsy cables which routinely fall apart for so many people. Whichever person inside their company fetishizes thin cables is 100% evil. Not just in terms of deliberately designing a failing product that needs to be replaced after a year or so, but in terms of putting people at risk for fire and shock. This is a well known problem with Apple's products.

The idiotic knock off companies should forget trying to copy Apple here and just make some normal slightly thicker cables with proper strain relief that don't break if you look at it wrong. You eliminate your lawsuit risk from Apple and you sell to a growing market of people who hate Apple's cables.
That was her side of the story. Reddit had a different side. This line shows what an awful article this is. Utterly un-objective. Here's some reference on Ellen Pao: * http://www.vanityfair.com/style/scandal/2013/03/buddy-fletch... * https://www.bloomberg.com/view/articles/2015-07-13/reddit-s-...

The usual use of "mansplaining" isn't limited to scientific and technical fields, in fact, I'd argue that is neither the original nor most common domain in which "mansplaining" was and is called out.
Some people think that reality (at least political and social reality) can never be pinned down, it's always shrouded in contradictions and fog. There's just way too many factoids slinging around; you'll never be able to separate the wheat from the chaff.

Some people think that at the end of the day, there's so much back and forth in politics and in the mediasphere that it's impossible to tell what's what, or who's on first. Let alone who's right or who's wrong. Like it's all must a matter of... he said, she said.

But this isn't one of those situations.

And in fact sometimes it's really not that hard to make a solid judgement call. It's just a matter of telling from wheat from chaff.

Which in this case -- given the multitude of statements from women on the receiving of his aggressive (and in some cases, likely criminal) behavior; and from his own words on the Billy Bush tape, which by this point everyone at least knows the salient facts of (and most likely has listened to directly, several times, already) -- just isn't that hard.

In this election, the only people who don't seem so smart(besides the candidates) are people who insist on being oblivious to their own candidates severe faults. There is plenty wrong with either candidate and the only people who look foolish are those who insist on trying to shine a shit and sell it as gold.
I agree with you, in that there seems to be a.... lack of quality role models and certain cultural norms that play into men feeling like they have to be a certain way. Especially a very loud minority of women, who have certain men wanting to live up to those standards... and find themselves miserable as a result.

I think the biggest point of this is that, it is possible to get what you want, and there are others who want that.

And generally that if it is a quality point it is applicable to both genders.

To be happy and get what they want, people need to be clear on what it is they DO want. To have a successful relationship, people need to have good boundaries and know where they are willing to compromise. etc etc...

Women aren't the oppressors... or... whatever else. It is a person's agreement (because they don't know any other options) to be oppressed that is the real oppression. That they limit themselves.

For what it's worth, even after some training none of the phones in my office seem to pick up their owner's voice rather than someone else telling their own phone to run a search (we're all mid 30s male).

My phone rarely listens to me until I hold down the home button but one guy I know, who has a slow, deep voice, triggers Google to start listening in normal conversation all the time.
Since joining Verizon I've realized that bars are more or less meaningless. There are many times when I can't even make a phone call with "full bars."

Sadly, I've also been very disappointed with FiOS speeds lately.
Agreed. My wife and I have 5 kids. One thing our friends with 1 or 2 kids will never understand: we can't possibly keep an eye on all of them all the time. The reality is, the kids have ample opportunity for dangerous accidents. The solution in our household is have high standards of expected conduct, and play "whack-a-mole" with whoever needs attention (positive or negative). Looking back to when we only had 2, I actually think this is producing more responsible, content kiddos.
it isn't about smartness in the sense of IQ. It is just completely different view on where society/economy and the whole civilization should go. Thiel vs. Musk. Conservative collapse vs. progressive expansion. Ant/termite colony (like those that have been at the same place for 1000+ years) vs. interplanetary civilization. Conformal uniformity vs. diversity in the widest sense of the word. Succumbing to the fear of change vs. embracing and riding that fear like a wave, converting the fear into the source of energy.
LocationSpark: Distributed In-Memory Data Management System for Big Spatial Data
Agreed on pretty much all of that. We too have wondered whether the ease of use that makes Stripe so attractive to a small business might also induce some sort of penalty in terms of fraud checks by other organisations. If that really is the case, presumably it leaves Stripe in a tough situation, but this seems like a responsible and hopefully effective step on their part.

We see quite a lot of failures on the second month of a subscription, particularly for customers abroad (we're in the UK). We also tend to see these sort of failed charges happen in waves, with few problems for a while but then a sudden spike in declined transactions. That suggests at least one plausible explanation: the lack of CV2 after that first charge may be enough to tip something over the edge into "too suspicious" territory following some sort of update in the overall scoring scheme used by whoever is blocking the charge.

We're looking into various potential ways to improve the situation, such as allowing more automated retries of failed charges over a longer period before we give up, and possibly advertising prices in our customers' local currencies. However, each of those has some potential downsides and obviously there is only so much you can do as the merchant anyway.

If Radar can start to make Stripe, and by extension its merchants, a harder target for for fraudsters, maybe that will also move the needle a bit. A few times I think we've lost more subscribers in a month to failed card charges than everything else put together, including customers actively choosing to cancel and including failures via all other payment methods we accept, so it's definitely an issue worth exploring.
A possible counterpoint: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/One_Thousand_and_One_Nights
I think you mean that one side is showing over and over in court that the objective of those pushing strict voter ID laws is to disenfranchise poor and minority voters and therefore any such restrictions have a high bar to cross.
