Two famous laureates are Sartre and Bertrand Russell. Both wrote more in more conventional genres for the prize, but most think the prize was awarded not simply for the literary quality of their work.

Another thread connecting their awards with Dylan is that all three authored widely read and acclaimed autobiographies or memoirs.
I get that but I am proposing to hard code the answer since I already know it
I've been sitting on zippermerging.com for a while hoping to do something useful with it, since I'm a believer in the cause. What else can we do to get the word out?
This. I feel that that was the last instance of bi-partisan civility in US politics.
Question to those astrophotographers out there. I notice the cooler has a fan on it, is the fan vibration damped somehow?

I shoot a lot of long distance photos (300mm F/2.8 and 600mm F/4 are my main lenses). Any vibration is greatly amplified when I shoot, and this is a much longer range than that.
I'm not overfond of ill-considered opinions about the US expressed by those who know little of our country. But I also recognize the reality that the actions of the US are a matter of considerable concern for people who live elsewhere, because we tend to act in ways that reverberate across the planet. The same isn't really true of Thailand, so I don't think the concept of "double standard" applies here.

Again, i'm not saying there is no problem, i'm just saying this is probably not a great mechanism to evaluate whether there is a problem or not.

If you want actual usable data, this wouldn't be the way to get it, good or bad.
Maybe yes maybe no, but that's unrelated to people paying off their credit cards.

Funding an expense like that with bonds really only makes sense to me if you expect it to result in growth (in which case its not necessarily a problem), but even in that case it sounds very inflationary. More so than UBI itself. I'm no good at macro though, and will happily say that at this point I'm arguing out of my depth, along with anyone who makes an argument without numbers behind it.
Commercial satellite imagery is available at 0.25m resolution these days, so assuming an order of magnitude better that gives around 2.5cm resolving power, or one inch. I think I've heard about 5cm quoted somewhere, as well. So, maybe just good enough to detect the difference between small-arms, and certainly enough to read identification markings on an aircraft, or to determine the name of the newspaper, but not to read its headlines.

Most technical people, surprisingly, don't have the tact to discern these two scenarios.
I think I remember reading or overhearing that Intel's chips somewhere in the Pentium 4 era were more efficient at converting electricity to heat than a typical hotplate. (Ratio-wise, at least.)

I know little to nothing of astrophotography, so this article comes as news to me. (I like the article, FWIW.) I wasn't even aware cooling could be used to account for sensor noise. Now my mind is actively aware of the problem and is trying to enumerate other possible means of correction in this, and other, imaging fields.
Google turned me down a couple times before I got hired. The first two were definite mistakes (false negatives) where I should have been hired. Just treat it like a process to be optimized. You can reapply every 18 months.
I don't understand why or how you'd lose ticket revenue?

If you identified 20 passengers who've often bought tickets who are known drink buyers. Place them not together with random seat assignments. So they are by people unknown buyers and/or less frequent buyers

No ticket sales should be effected. Only the placement of individuals. This obviously doesn't effect those who choose there seat. Buy late. Or buy for groups adjacent seats.
Yes, I expect this kind of reuse from most people. But it was surprising to hear one world leader using another world leader's most historic phrase from decades beforehand, where the phrase is historic precisely because it was murderous and insincere. So I mentioned it.

Anyone has any good source for dynamic programming ones? I'm really strugling with that topic.
I mean, yeah, 99% of candidates should know what that means because it is an extremely common initialism. Although, I could see some engineer who worked on networking drivers for 10 years might not be up to date on the design patterns of frontend engineering.
Interesting.
I could look up the date it changed, but it definitely changed because folks didn't like the old way :P.

Now, instead, they generally don't recruit (google is too large to not have exceptions) without some specific hiring managers and headcount in mind.

They will tell you what those groups are and what they do.
So for example, the person i interviewed last week was targeted at two teams. I actually specifically asked if he knew what he was being interviewed for, because i like to get some idea what the candidate thinks whatever job they are interviewing for means, and he was able to tell me the two groups and knew what they did.
Until you need to maintain it (small changes) or worse, (breaking) change it. I'm not going to trade a flexible js dep for a limited css trick.
I'm not sure if it's a terrible idea in general, but a Ubuntu phone would be many years behind iOS/Android when it comes to apps. I think only Apple and Google have the marketshare to pull off a convergent OS at this point.
> This all sounds good in theory but you are paying them the bear minimum that you can (the whole reason you moved over there in the first place, remember) which ionly has to be marginally better, if at all, than the money they were making before you showed up.

But haven't you increased the aggregate demand for labor in Mexico, since people who came to work in your factory are no longer doing other jobs? So either total employment could increase as other people start to do those jobs, or wages could rise more than marginally.

(If Google comes to town somewhere and hires away the whole IT department from a local hospital -- even for a 1% pay rise -- presumably the hospital will now be looking to hire some new IT staff.)

"Weird fiction" author China Miéville wrote an interesting detective novel, "The City & the City", about two cities that occupy the same geographical space and the implications that has for daily life and government operations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_City_%26_the_City
My city is an echo chamber. Ithaca, NY is quite liberal, although once you drive 20 minutes in any direction, rural upstate New York is as conservative as Alabama. And yet our district's representative is a Tea Party schmuck - who pays absolutely no attention at all to "the extreme Ithaca liberals" - because of gerrymandering.

So given that, it's not unreasonable to think that the people I meet and befriend in this city also share liberal views, even while entire communities around Ithaca have completely different beliefs.

Sometimes it scares me how politicized everything is becoming. Just the perception of being "the wrong kind" of voter could deter liberals from moving to the south to get away from cold winters, while conservatives would imagine themselves having trouble fitting in in (liberal) economic powerhouses like San Francisco.

I just want the mechanisms of society to function efficiently, and for people to be able to disagree with each other's political opinions without souring everything else.

My kick-out questions:

"Could you write out what an HTTP request and response looks like on the board?"

I'm really surprised at how many people can't do this. If you've spent five years developing web, surely you've had to look at raw requests, either debugging using netcat or with wireshark or just looking at the information in the Chrome/Firefox debugger?

"What's the difference between a GET and a POST request?"

"What is the difference between a statically typed and a dynamically typed language?"

I had one candidate try to tell me Java was dynamically typed and Scala was statically typed. It was for a Scala position. They also said "statistically typed" instead of statically, even after I corrected them.

Why Employee Retention Should Focus on More Than Millennials
This did not work for me on macOS Sierra
I think what 1337biz was trying to point out is that mentioning trump sullied your point. Perhaps it was impossible to make your original comment without mentioning trump, but now you have "Godwin'd" your argument in a way, and have precluded any room for nuance in either discussing Bob Dylan, or the current political environment. Now it's all Southern Strategy -> Bob Dylan -> Trump.

Sure, Trump has tapped into a certain political current that has long existed in American life (since at least Andrew Jackson), but there are other reasons for his (un)popularity and are worth understanding in their own right.

> On the first point: Account authentication (when you setup your account or when you add a new device) is done via a non encrypted text message delivered to you by the tel-co service. This method is extremely insecure as it has been used by state and non-state sponsored hackers to hijack the account.

Again, the problem here is that "if your contact changes keys, this fact is hidden away by default." If WhatsApp did that by default, like Signal, then you would know that the key had changed.

> IMHO the only reason a messaging service uses and relies on phone number to identify (and of course authenticate accounts) is to steal (that's how I see it) their contacts and force them to use the service in order to grow their user base. Such unethical and disturbing practice can not be endorsed by an organization like EFF.

The phone number is used for contact discovery. You're not forced to do anything. For most people when they download a messenger they want to use it to talk to other people and they don't find it disturbing or unethical when that's possible.

> If you are looking to avoid mass surveillance, of course the ability to be anonymous is critical.

Luckily it's possible to use more than one app. I'm ok with my friends knowing who I am. This app makes it easy to find your friends. If you want to talk to people you don't know without them knowing who you are, there are other apps. That's not the purpose of this one. It doesn't make it bad, it doesn't make it insecure, it just means it's not for you.
There's a weird power imbalance in these situations. The person reporting the problem is able to tell whatever story they want since they generally don't have a reputation to maintain (and will, if anything, likely improve their reputation), and the company has to be very careful - it's often better to not release any detail to avoid potentially worse fallout from releasing potentially private information (yes, the privacy of the person making the complaint).

This is especially bad when your company is on the receiving end, and you know the truth. For example, a previous company had someone making claims that some purchase was made on their credit card without their knowledge - but there was account email confirmation at account creation time, account email conversation with community support, actual logical proof from the post itself of something that required said purchase, and so forth. In another case, an account is closed due to some clearly provable illegal behaviour, but it was blamed on not paying to renewing something optional.

So since then I'm perfectly capable of neither believing nor disbelieving claims made by people, even when it happens to agree with what I was thinking already. It doesn't make me feel better or worse than believing them, I just assume I don't have the information necessary to make any real judgement about it. Life lesson, I guess, and useful to not get sucked into things like political theatre.
How many of these centrally planned utopias have ever worked out well for the people?

I'd prefer if political parties would openly state their policy and how they will change the laws instead of saying one thing and then in secret ignore existing laws to create a situation with tens of millions of illegal immigrants that is now hard to deal with humanely.

Nobody is going to win a popularity contest with the policy to deport millions of people, but no one would have won a popularity contest either by importing millions of people.

Now they can all shrug their shoulders and say it's not our fault, but it clearly is someones fault. It is possible to have a secure border with mostly legal immigration, other countries did it before and they do it today as well.

Aside from that it isn't beneficial for Mexico that some of their brightest men and women move to the US while their drug cartels smuggle money and weapons into Mexico which they use to corrupt and slaughter their own people.
Ah, the appeal to authority.

It depends, but generally speaking, you are wrong and OP is right that you'd want to benchmark on the actual architecture.

a) First of all, you're probably basing your answer off of experience with 64-bit popcounts. But note the question was about popcounting multiple 16-bit words, not single 64-bit words. This isn't typically what you do in a chessprogram.
b) The table has a cache footprint and can be pushed out of L1, which kills that approach in many real programs.
c) Modern CPUs have a POPCOUNT instruction. It's slow and limited to one port on most Intel machines, though, so not necessarily always a win either.
d) Lacking POPCOUNT, and with cache pressure, the SWAR approaches are good, especially if you can compute multiple results at once. With AVX2 it becomes especially interesting.
f) If the the expectation is that many of the numbers are zero, a simple loop will win.
There is a fundamental difference between someone changing with the winds of politics and how someone behaves. While I'd rather someone be right the first time, I'm happy when they make it there at all.

My life experiences are substantively different than many HN readers - I've spent a large portion of my career working with working class folks, from a very different background than you'd normally see on HN - we are in general the elites here (both socially and economically) - and the kind of comments Trump made are so common among a wide swath of the population as to not even be newsworthy - no, you may not have heard men talk like that before - but I have, and so have many of my friends who have a working class/blue collar background - in male dominated environments, this kind of talk is very very common. So I discounted that.. but I can't discount two seemingly credible people who show a pattern of bad behavior 30 or so years apart.

As far as Benghazi - four people died, working in a war zone - the US Foreign service is not a safe place to work - between 2001 and 2009 there were 20 attacks on either embassies or consulates resulting in 87 fatalities - nor was this the first time an ambassador was killed either. [1][2] So from my perspective the Benghazi investigations and hearings are more or less just political haymaking.

Dead to rights, Hillary Clinton was guilty of Improper storage of Classified Materials, both in relating to the way her email was handled, and the poor security around her home office and SCIF. [3] But I don't consider her exceptional in this case - the way this country handles classification is honestly, pretty stupid - and the laws are almost always selectively prosecuted. She got lucky, because of her great power.

I'm supporting Gary Johnson - because I'm tired of living in a country that has been in a vague state of war my entire adult life, as well as agreeing with him on a broad swath of other social policy issues.

In the past year since Slack Digest has launched, we’ve helped many teams and communities getting more productive and saving lots of time through having important messages picked out for them every day.

In the last few months, we have learnt new machine learning techniques, applied new algorithms, redesigned the system architecture, and restructured all of the software components to make the overall system more robust, more accurate, and easier to use.

Even if it doesn't move people out, the pre-existing biases of physical space causes an echo chamber regardless. Before social media, people had no problem demonizing the people of different races and religions who were not geographically close, and with far more destructive consequences than partisan bickering in the US. Face-to-face interactions may only provide more diversity in a few remarkable places.

Did they want an exact answer? Getting closeish without a calculator is not too hard: 2^30 is about a billion, so 2^37 is about 128 billion.
Not all programming/engineering circles use the same buzzwords. For five years my mobile development groups used the concept without the acronym.
And here it is.

I do plenty of interviews, and so I do have some sympathy for the idea that some overwhelming majority of applicants simply cannot perform even the most basic coding tasks but are somehow trying to sneak in anyway, but at the same time I can't escape the suspicion that a lot of the stories are actually from badly-designed or badly-calibrated interviews gone off the rails.

I absolutely believe that the article we're discussing here gives a fair view of a Google phone screen, since I've been through it too and even got asked some of the same questions. The only reason I "passed" was that I recalibrated way, way down to meet the expectations and the technical understanding of the recruiter I was talking to (who did very clearly seem to be reading off a prepared script). This was surprising since Google had reached out to me to ask me to apply, which one would think indicates a confidence in basic technical skills, but if I hadn't caught that and adjusted how I was interpreting and answering the random trivia they threw at me, I likely wouldn't have passed the screen and would have been labeled just another impostor trying to sneak into a job I'm unqualified for.

So when I hear someone else talking about all the "unqualified" applicants they get, I can't help wondering how many really were qualified applicant talking to unqualified interviewer using unqualified interview process.

(disclosure: I don't work for Google, don't ever intend to work for Google, and in fact hung up on a later screening call out of frustration with the way they ran their process, which at least finally got their recruiters to stop spamming me)
The cert wasn't revoked though, just the cross signed intermediate.
There is a saying in electronics engineering world: "Every sensor is also a temperature sensor."

What this means is: almost every electronic sensor is affected by it's temperature- from expensive image sensors to cheap MEMS accelerometers and gyroscopes.

That is why many of digital sensors also report their temperature, although that is not their primary purpose- so that current temperature effects on the measured result can be calibrated out either in sensor's logic, or by host software.
