The more I look at this, the more it seems like a brilliant move by Assange to force the media to report more on Wikileaks and the Podesta emails, not just Trumps locker-room antics.

In order to be a presenter at a conference with enough visibility that they receive six good applications for each slot, you must have already been a presenter.
IIRC HN threads have historically gotten dinged for having a large number of comments, relative to their upvotes. This is supposed to dampen threads that are just flame-bait without being particularly interesting.

So posting 27 comments about "why is this thread not higher up???" just makes the problem worse :-)
I just disable the Windows Update service. Every couple of months, when I feel the need to clean up all my open pdfs and Chrome tabs, I'll enable it and restart.
Help me understand... I am seeing this article as showing the median returns for 20-year periods around 4.1%. Are you saying you don't buy the article's conclusion, or is there an apples/oranges thing that I'm missing here?
Long term storage ? Since when is 12h drain/fill cycles "long term". The Tesla power wall is functionally identical to its car batteries, using the same Li ion battery tech. Optimisation is a matter of power profile programming, modern converters are very capable.

What makes this tech more interesting is the fact that you could buy cheap electricity from the garage you park you car during the day (the one with the massive solar roof, close to cheap to maintain central transmission lines). A million grid-connected batteries represents a very resilient power system with interesting real-time energy markets on top.

It is very interesting indeed.

>Apple has a problem with leadership. When managers aren't buying into a vision, mostly because it's murky at best, that is a big problem.

That's the inverse of what would actually be a big problem: managers BUYING into a "murky at best" vision.

>SV hubris believing you can go into any industry and disrupt the incompetent incumbents is laughable.

Isn't that what people said about music players and then about phones? Heck, they are already the #2 watchmaker in the world in profits too...

>FB found this out with phones and it sounds like Apple and Google are now figuring it out with cars.

Neither Google nor Apple have ever released in car. If anything, their setbacks are related to the advanced self-driving stuff they aspire to make, not some issue competing with existing car tech or distribution or anything.

Besides, tons of companies have entered the car market and gave established car companies a run for their money already. The Japanese obliterated the established Detroit order for example, and new Chinese cars are as good as anybody's for general use. Tesla also come out of nowhere and cornered a niche of the market. Heck, traditional car companies are so complacent and derivative that if anything it's the inverse of hubris to believe one can do better.

Nowadays, when most of the manufacturing the expertise is in assembly lines in China and the like, creating a new car to compete with existing models is laughably easy -- especially if you have $500 billion lying around.
How can we protest?
Read about it, they do everything do prolong the process since there is no hinder for them to visit the embassy and commit an interview.
Yes, there is no fallacious reasoning if one takes your well-written hyperbole literally, but given that it is just exaggeration, these arguments are still invalid attacks on character.

Regardless, I'm not here to defend Trump (at risk of contradicting myself, I actually agree with everything you say about his character, even if they are "ad hominem" attacks); my position is still that someone shouldn't lose their job over supporting a mainstream political candidate; that is not Democratic, and reeks of infringing on one's First Amendment rights.

If we're in North Korea, yes, you should at the very least get fired (and also sentenced to hard labor) over your political views; but this is America.

The one aspect of diversity that the Valley needs to work on improving is tolerance of alternative (read: mainstream Republican Party) political views -- it has only gotten worse here over time.

I can't possibly see how anyone aware of these principles at stake can somehow feel justified in undermining them.
That same mag has an article on introvert-extrovert hybrids: http://nymag.com/scienceofus/2015/07/ambiverts-are-introvert...

Maybe that will resonate, maybe not.

I'm skeptical of the dichotomy too, and that article really honestly only strengthens my concerns with the theory. (If you need an out from your binary theory because it's insufficiently descriptive, consider ditching the model.)

There are settings and people I like interacting with and others I don't. This is probably close to universal, though we might disagree on the settings and people.

Public speaking is scary and awkward, until I've done it a couple times that year, then it gradually gets easier and more fun. The number of times probably varies, but people generally have some anxiety about novel experiences and adapt over time.

I wouldn't mind a pop sci theory if I didn't think it was doing harm. But I've repeatedly seen people buy into the introvert idea so much they refuse to believe they are good speakers, even when audiences love their talks. They insist they are bad speakers because they are an introvert. It's heartbreaking to hear.

People from Myers Briggs will insist that's a misunderstanding of the theory, but that's how a lot of people internalize it.
Yep, the SubmitHub story hit #1 and got 42.8k pageviews and 25.2k uniques yesterday. Today it's fallen off the front page, but I've still gotten 14k pageviews and 6.8k uniques.

This is how a couple of university endowment funds do investing:

Simply targeting the higher end market doesn't tell you anything about the margins of the business. You need to know the size of each segment of the market and then what can be done to increase margins in each segment. For Tesla, they can't simply stay in the higher end of the market as they need to get greater economies of scale with more volume. Like with the Model 3, they want to move down-market so that they can make the business model work in the long term. As it stands, they only serve the high end of the market and lose money on each car they sell.

Given that most of the leaks are emails from a single party, when said party was known to use a weak email server, which was known to have been hacked at one point, my guess is that it could be anyone, and doesn't need to be a 'state actor'.

PS. Have you seen the Podesta emails? They range from hilarious to pretty disturbing.
> This kind of activity doesn't create value or even, to my knowledge, liquidity.

It does both, the latter by more efficiently communicating price information and incorporating future events into asset prices. More accurate AI traders absorb risk, which is good for the production economy.
Vim takes a while to grok. You have to move away from the mindset of "memorize a lot of strange commands" to the mindset of a language for text manipulation. Then, learn the absolute minimum set of commands ([a]ppend, [i]nsert, [d]elete, [p]aste), start using, and add vocabulary gradually. Just like learning a new language.
I was surprised in this article that "wine-dark" is still being bandied about as a translation for οἶνοψ πόντος. According to a scholar I spoke with many years ago, a more reasonable translation would be gleaming or shimmering. This would fit with another known use of οἶνοψ, referring to the back of an oxen in the sun.
There is no "back down" on immigration, because immigration is already pretty heavily restricted. There's no way for bystanders to check someone's immigration status, so when you see someone complaining about "too many immigrants", some of the people they're complaining about are actually nationals who've been around for years. And there's no way of getting rid of them, short of violence.

We've already seen this kind of thing (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-37227313) happening more after Brexit. Listening to people who are dangerously wrong on the facts just encourages other people to agree with them.

Whatever the right word for people who turn on immigrants like that is, it's definitely not scared. They're the ones doing the scaring.

Likewise with refugees: there's not really any policy change we can make to stop refugees coming, other than trying to fix the conflict they're fleeing. They're already fleeing death, you're not going to scare them with paperwork. Are you going to deport them (including women and children) to a warzone?

(It's rather like crime: the amount of crime you and your family have ever experienced is a number that can only go up, whereas the probability of becoming a victim has been generally declining over time. So people think crime is rising when it isn't.)

It's not a difference in perception, it's a difference in communication. Imagine a room full of people wearing "pink" shirts, and you want to call out specifically one of those people, but you don't know the word "salmon" in the context of a color of shirt. You absolutely see the difference in the colors of the shirt. Your lack of language does not change your perception. You know the color and you could pick it again when asked. You just have to go through convolutions to communicate the exact nature of the color to others.
It meant "barely kept up with inflation" in the end. In those few instances: after 2 or 3 decades.

During the intermediate years you would have spent a great many years looking at absolute carnage. Periodically getting trolled by bear market rallies.

"Barely kept up" is therefore very theoretical, because few people have the character to wait it out that long. Many who call themselves long term buy-and-hold, will quietly change their designation after 10 years of watching blood stains drying up.

That's exactly why, after such periods, markets are not just cheaply valued but almost literally "empty" and deserted.

Btw, we haven't had one of those since the 60s/70s.
I think part of the problem is that jobs are becoming more and more high skill based, requiring many years of university level education. The low skilled jobs are replaced with high skilled ones. The problem is our education systems are falling behind. Education needs to be readily accessible and inexpensive for both initial schooling and those who need/want to re-skill. The universities should also have employment programs which help workers new to their field find and obtain jobs so they can gain experience.

With the economy the way it is (slower growth, wage stagnation etc), employers are unwilling to take the potential risk with low skilled workers (who have no degree) and there are plenty of new workers who just finished their degree which employers will prefer to employ. I suspect there would be enough jobs, if there were enough high skilled workers and a better economy. I think the problem is there is a shortage of high skilled experienced workers and an oversupply of lower skilled workers.

As some anecdotal evidence, when I search for software engineering / developer jobs in my country, I see a lot of high skilled jobs available, requiring moderate to significant levels of experience and/or education. However, there are much fewer junior/graduate/basic developer jobs available.

To become a high skilled worker, you generally have to start in the low skilled jobs, or get a PhD. If its hard to get a lower skilled/entry level job due to low demand, the rate higher skilled worker are produced is restricted. So its a catch 22.
I will never forgive them for first neutering and then killing off Google Reader. After that, I've avoided relying on any Google service as far as I can. I'm still using Gmail, and I have to use Google Docs for work (though I'd much rather use something else), but I would never trust my files to Google Drive, and I thankfully didn't trust Picasa with my pictures. Same reason I'm not going to use things like Allo. There's a significant chance that it's not going to exist in a year or two, so why even bother?

Stories like this reinforce my belief that we should be a more libertarian society. Why should the governments or courts have such a massive say in such intimate things.
It's not that simple. They had to find a procedure that is acceptable to Swedish, Ecuadorian and British courts. These negotiations have only recently been completed and a meeting has tentatively been booked for the end of October.

Your comment is very similar to victim blaming.
CAPE (aka price-to-ten-year-earnings, PE10[1]) helps devising a rule of thumb for timing.

Stocks don't deviate from their expected earnings for long, so when the ratio jumps over the median PE10, the market becomes expensive.

Holding cash during the period of high PE10 and investing it in stocks under low PE10 is a good idea for a person who's saving for retirement and doesn't want to become a professional investor.

Vim is very easy, I think it's just simple to get overwhelmed with it.

There are a couple of tools which gamify Vim. I personally haven't used them. But some say they're pretty good.

For me, what worked was just jumping in and going whole hog. I tried disabling the arrow keys in Normal Mode, so I would have to use hjkl for navigation. But my keyboard puts the arrow keys in easy reach (Kinesis Advantage), so it turned out not to be much of a need.

What you may like is turning on relative line numbers. That way you can visually see what line you're at, and how many lines away your target is that want to jump to. Then you can practice going 5k to go up five lines, or d2j, to from where you are to two lines down.

This article was actually eye-opening for me: https://yanpritzker.com/learn-to-speak-vim-verbs-nouns-and-m...

No, I don't believe it, but it is a possibility I had not thought of and the fact that Assange's internet access has been shut off lends at least a little bit of credibility to the comments (note how that post was made already 8 hours ago).

also, why would I believe some anonymous HN'er about anything. Information is either true or false, the source isn't really relevant, all that matters are the facts.
Social Inequality Worse Than Previous Estimates, According to Researcher
Maybe, but anti-Semitism in Europe today doesn't have much to do with the Ancient Greeks or Egyptians.

I'm not sure that's true anyway. The Egyptians certainly warred with Israel, but they warred with everybody. Solomon married an Egyptian princess, a prayer written by her praising her husband is in Psalms. Later there was a movement of Greeks attracted by the idea of monotheism[0 Historical background, third paragraph] that used to hang out near Synagogues and debate philosophy with Rabbis. In fact it's arguably this which made adoption of Christianity by Greeks so easy and rapid, kickstarting Christianity.

There's also other evidence of Jews living perfectly peaceably and integrating well into other middle-eastern cultures. For example the corpus of incantation bowls[1] used by members of many different religious groups, but interestingly often created by Jewish scribes for non-Jewish clients.

So I don't think there's much evidence for Jewish people being picked out in this way in the pre-Roman and pre-Medieval world.

In emacs, at least, every command has a name. Anything you'd like to do can be searched using tab completion and a little guesswork, at first, by typing `alt-x` followed by the first couple letters of a plausible name for the thing you are trying to do.

It's an extremely clumsy but totally workable way to get around if you only rarely need to edit a text file on a remote server. For example, if you highlight a section of text, you can `alt-x comment-region` and emacs will automatically insert comment markers at the beginning of each line (`uncomment-region` to undo the process). Or `alt-x save-buffer` to save.

The myriad keyboard shortcuts are just aliases for the named commands, so it's a straightforward transition from the clumsy tab-complete workflow to a more efficient one once you know your way around.
I think the idea is that Fuji is specializing in smaller cameras. It's APS-C, so you get a smaller body and smaller lenses. If your primary mission is to photograph something, it doesn't really matter how big the camera is and the decision on what camera to use is all about semiconductor yield for the sensors ("full frame" is tiny, but easy to manufacture profitably). It's your primary mission so you'll bring whatever equipment you need to get the job done. This is a niche in the photography world; the vast majority of photographs are spur-of-the-moment cell phone photos, after all. Fujifilm sees more money in that market than specialist applications.

This camera isn't going to prevent the user from taking serious photographs. APS-C is big enough to capture plenty of data. I have a "1 inch" camera and really all 21 megapixels are usable at base ISO. The small size trades off the flexibility that an 8x10" camera gives you, but is easier to carry around. (It's harder to carry around than a phone, though, but provides vastly better images.)

As soon as you start moving into certain specialties in photography, certain models start making more sense. Wedding photography is about creating fine-art shots in a sports photography environment, so the professionals are using high-end "enthusiast" cameras to great effect. The autofocus gets almost every shot. The metering is always correct. Those cameras don't trade off speed for detail, so you can still make nice 8x10" enlargements that look fantastic (but maybe not take 30fps bursts as sports/photojournalism cameras might).

Other specialties are cost-constrained right now. Nobody wants to take their macro shots with a DSLR, but Phase One backs are $33,000 for your $10,000 view camera, and hobbyists don't have that much money. (It's even expensive for the pros, very much a pricing based on semiconductor yield rather than the time cost of not having one.) Hence they compromise by spending 8 hours in photoshop working around the limitations of their camera, or just use film.

If you don't care enough about the results to do either and are only going to buy one camera, an X-T2 is just as good as anything else. Carry it around to take excellent spur-of-the-moment shots, snap that nice landscape, use it at home to take some pictures of that bug you just killed. It's as good as anything else. (Upgrade to a D810 for a few more pixels and a lighter wallet.)
So check the case coverage on the Guardian. I think except the most recent one they're on there.

You can also find some righteous indignation from the social workers that caused some of these cases. In the past, nearly all the media has been critical of the court, including the Guardian

The problem is not adherence to some constitution (especially the American constitution which contains quite some arbitrary and outdated things), but basic human rights. A constitution can be a legal framework for basic human rights, but many are pretty bad at that and the US has actively decided to not honor human rights (not accepting rulings of the International Court of Justice, the International Criminal Court, etc.)
