I get that we're supposed to be outraged by this, but it almost sounds like the algorithm was based on OkCupid or Match.com statistics, which they do release from time to time.

I don't think there is a way to simulate a mechanic like that that isn't going to piss somebody off.

Anyway, looks like Prison Architect in space. I'll have to add it to the Steam wishlist.
It's an appealing upgrade product to current Air owners (myself included) that want to keep roughly the same form factor without getting the slower MacBook, so yes, I do care about the slightly smaller dimensions.
I did dig in his tweets quite a lot, found many retweets of this pro-hitler account, also French extreme right parties, among normal right wing tweets. But all are retweets, no written ones, no debate, no long trolling. I also searched on google for mention of his nicks with hitler | holocaust | denier | ... and found nothing. If he did express disturbing views he did this on non indexed platforms.

I am surprised because I spent a lot of times on irc near lisp related (scheme, guile, emacs, so strictly speaking no CL, CLOS, lisp) channels and never heard bad mentions about him. Now I agree that this twitter account seems quite linked and probably pjb, but I can't decide anything based on just that.
I did. The question at the end is a rhetorical device intended to provide a bit of humor while reinforcing the author's point.

To be sure there is no confusion, it's possible to block inline scripts with Chromium, but not on a per-inline script tag basis.

Per-inline script tag filtering is possible for Firefox, but the feature relies on "beforescriptexecute", which is planned to be deprecated in Firefox as well[1]. As a result I have ceased to create "script:contains" filters and favor filter solutions which work on all browsers.

It's an improvement on Openmoko. I remember the first time some freetard tried to show me Openmoko at a trade show, and before he could successfully make a phone call he had to pop up an xterm, run alsamixer, and fix everything. It was hilarious.

I believe Openmoko used GTK+. Maybe Qt was what the project needed all along.
I'm surprised LuneOS never comes up on these threads...it's slow moving, but the team has always been focused on quality and had steady monthly releases for 2yrs now...

Lest you failed to notice, the price of SSD's has been falling, right now you can buy a top of the line 1TB SSD for ~$300, and lower end devices are approaching $200.

So, this bucks the trend of the past 4 decades where the new models had more storage for the same amount of money.
I think I read this on HN long time ago, and it stuck with me - do you know the name of the cleaner working in your office? Why not?

I always try to learn it (by asking directly, but I'm a bit shy so it takes some time), and to show the appreciation for their work. It feels like a right, human thing to do.
I like that that this implementation lets you shift right/left for a split second after you let the piece fall.

Not all Tetris versions I've seen do that. I'm not sure what official behavior, though.
The power of things like this taking off is not what they are now, but what they can be. There are lots of real people with their own good reasons to not be tied to Google/Apple, and whats really impressive here is that unlike firefox OS, they are (in my opinion) doing this in a much better way.

As this catches on, it only helps improve linux hardware (ARM) support, telephony applications for linux, and the like. As well as being able to have (or make for others) a truly remarkable user interface and apps. This is a mobile computer, running linux, running a desktop environment (not webkit, or Java VM, or closed source code) that only limits what you can make by your skill and imagination.

Yes it looks pretty mediocre now, but that's because its waiting on you to get involved.
Follow the iOS instructions. You can install older versions of apps directly from the App Store on your iPad by going into the Purchased section. It will prompt you to install the last compatible version.

If you're trying to do this with an app you haven't previously purchased, you'll need to purchase it directly on iTunes, and then it will show up in the Purchased section of the App Store on the device.

That's one thing I love about longer backpacking trips. I did the John Muir Trail this summer, with 18 days available. There are only a few feasible bailout opportunities, and virtually none in the last half (going southbound). I like the feeling that after a day or two you are essentially fully committed. Of course there are options in the case of injury or other emergency, but if you're just worn out and homesick (which definitely happened) your best option is to just keep chugging along. We ended up taking a full unplanned rest day in the middle, and still finished a day early.
I must be an idiot then.
So as somebody NOT from Greece (from the US in fact).. I have always had to pay tax on any property I own.

If someone died and I got their property.. I would need to pay tax. Not sure how that is "unexpected"? If the tax was more than I could afford, I would sell it. If I liked the place, maybe I would move there.
Compliance vs Discovery. Typically, you would check for compliance periodically while discovery happens after the fact.
pets.com also went out of business by blowing a ton of money on Herman Miller chairs, doing everything in San Francisco (they later moved some warehousing to the midwest for a better distribution network and lower costs) and a rush to IPO too.
It's just an honor system thing. If you feel entitled to consume their content that they pay to host while making sure they don't get paid for it then that's how you feel and just like you said you fully have that ability and control.

They do offer a way you can pay to not have ads, and they offer a way for people who don't want the hassle of a paywall to consume their content by viewing ads.

There will always be people who just don't feel others should be paid for the services they offer.

In my opinion this is just like grabbing a big handful of Halloween candy that was left out without a sign saying "take one", there's nothing preventing you from taking all you want but the expectation is that you just take one so everyone can have some.
In a couple years you won't be able to use a cheap, off the shelf battery charger, monitor cable, or even printer cable without some weirdly expensive dongle trying to keep the ports on your 2015 MacBook Pro still useful.

logically unexplainable multiple rejections just after very short interactions by seemingly picky capricious agents on the other side of the interactions - isn't it that the men have biologically wired in them as a normal thing to expect, doesn't matter be it dating or sales or tech interview...
A person can be smart in one domain and stupid in another, so much is clear (think Grothendieck in maths and politics)

But a person cannot be both respectable and disrespectable at the same time, I find, although I'm afraid now we might be disagreeing rather about words than ideas. Respectability, to me, is a compliment to somebody's set of values.
Ah, I suppose that makes sense. I thought it worked via the phone.
I'm surprised that "people of color" is the preferred term for racial diversity.
Unless you are working for a discount, I don't see why an employee should be entitled to ANY equity just because they happened to show up before anyone else. The fact that you may be responsible for a large swath of a company's profit is beside the point. As an employee, you are a commodity.

If I write a book, I'm not giving my web designer a percentage of the profit. Yes, my success is contingent on the quality of his work, but he's just one of many offering such a service.

Zoning laws in the US don't govern anything other than the initial certificate of occupancy in most US states. They are irrelevant for subsequent sales.
I hope that you are right and this turns into that, but its also an opportunity for someone to branch it off into a commercial product. Some people don't want a pocket computer, they want a groomed and simple to use OS with user experience in mind, that "just works".
The Seattle area seems to have equivalent or better salaries locally or when the remote company is in SF. Might just be my limited view though. I know a guy in my company who relocated to France and took a lower pay, but I suspect if he had stayed in the US it wouldn't have gone down much if at all. There are a few others who transition into a mostly-work-from-home person, then full-time-work-from-home except occasional sync ups for planning or whatever, and then leave the city entirely for a cheap cabin with fiber somewhere nice (still the occasional meetups though). Not sure if their pay gets cut.
That is a pretty huge statistic, - what also pops out to me is: "stop practicing ". This seems to imply that these technical interviews are skills that you don't really gain on the job. I know that personally would 9 times out of 10 spend time on a cool / beneficial project rather than making time to practice trivia problems.
A lot of data scientists these days (me included) are former academics with backgrounds in numerical simulation in fields like chemistry, physics, mechanical engineering etc.

They live and breath numerical linear algebra and are comfortable reading advanced theoretical books or papers.

It's easy for them to pick up the basics needed to pass interviews and find a data science job. How would they go about adding some rigor to their understanding of ML and statistics?

I use it as a way to get free interview practice. Any recruiter contact I am interested in I will reach out to and entertain the interview process for. Whether I am looking for not I have no problem getting free practice and if I find a team/company I like I might just change jobs.

This seems like a perfect response to my comment.

The question is: how? The website doesn't make it very clear to developers (after a fairly quick skim on my part, at least) as to how they can help with the initiative. I have a Nexus 6p, and it seems like my device isn't supported, but how can I maybe help with porting to a new device?
> Personally I would vote for revolution - national default, totally new political leadership

A large part of our electorate thinks like that, and thus came Syriza (Syriza may be a household name, but not everyone knows that it stands for "Coalition of radical-left parties"). Yet when push comes to shove syriza turned instantly back into austerity. The electorate acted like an angry teenager. Magic bullets don't exist.
It's not so much entitlement as it is possibility, if I didn't have the possibility, I wouldn't demand it or feel like I deserved it. Because I have the possibility, I can do it. So I do.

Not really, I don't own the candy or anything about it. I do own my computer. Maybe it's just interacting with a machine that you own like that I've heard it makes most people more utilitarian.

> the hypothetical scenario we're talking about here is "first employee" which tends to mean a salaried position with benefits.

Agreed. Which is why they aren't getting co-founder levels of equity. 5% for a key position sounds about right.

But if you want them to go all-in on your startup then you are mad not to compensate them for it.

If you want mis-aligned incentives for a very key position then go right ahead but don't call someone entitled for wanting to be compensated fairly for the risk and responsibilities.

In other words, it's a crappy way to write `i-- > 0`

Note that it's not logically equivalent to
`for (var i = 5; i > 0; i--)`
because in this case the `i--` operation is applied after the body of the loop.

Try it in your browser:
for (var i = 5; i-- > 0;) { console.log(i); } //4,3,2,1
for (var i = 5; i > 0; i--) { console.log(i); } //5,4,3,2,1
It's good to see some new projects. But I guess I'm just in the camp where my phone is something I don't want to mess around with. Love tinkering with things, been piecing together computers since I was a kid. But when it comes to phone, I want it to just work without my intervention. I don't care if there is zero control.
Well for me at least, I waited very patiently for this announcement, expecting to get the new one, as I really need something more current to portably develop iOS with. They made the announcement, and I bought a refurb instead. If they weren't quite so greedy this time around, they might have gotten me to spend a couple hundred more. But no, they had to make the entry level with the Touch Bar a crazy $1800, instead of $1300 or $1400 as everyone was expecting.
Well this is certainly a good start: https://github.com/Quartz/bad-data-guide
A helpful clarification :)
Not as easily. Police can simply grab your hand and stick it on the sensor in 10 sec, and there's nothing you could do about it. A password on the other hand, would require either serious torture to be effective.
I think also you have to have an understanding of what problem you as a dev or designer are solving when they pick you. For example, right now the mobile app market is maturing.

Thus, if I just put up a code/app demo site I am not matching up to what I should be solving for the startup, that is app and in-app conversions. Thus, in my case I have buckled down in some 100 hour weeks to produce some UX app demos that are somewhat lite full apps that show how I would solve the app and in-app conversions issues through UX design.

Once I have the intro conversation established with that I can than point out that its actual working code and talk about the code architecture.

So at the end of Nov when I post the UX demos of videos,screenshots,etc I know that I will see a huge upswing in both visits to my stuff and some full qualified leads opposed to my meager non-effective approach that I tried in previous months.
Foundation Reading for Your 20's
A bit off-topic, has anyone replace their desktop setup with just a 15inch MBP(not external monitors) for the sake of simplifying things, how was your experience?
That's certainly the case, I'm just pointing out that price really isn't a factor in buying the 2015 model over the 2016 one unless you specifically want 128GB disk.
I agree that workplace is not just about "market" contracts. It's full of "social" contracts too. And if all the parties fulfill their "market" obligations properly, there's no reason to dislike giving or receiving signs of gratitude. The problem starts when some clever manager thinks he can pay you "social" coins in lieu of monetary compensation. Everyone wants to have a nice workplace, but it's not a party; people come there to perform services in exchange for currency.

I'd say the issue is subtle, it's kind of "push" vs. "pull" thing. It's great if people believe in your mission so much they're willing to work overtime for free, or be paid low. But if you start to expect people to work overtime or accept low pay because mission!, then I'd say you've just broken the "social" contract of not being a manipulative asshole, and we're back to "fuck you, pay me" situation.

Google Announces Daydream View VR Release Date for Next Week
https://ride.uber.com/

The site for the releases is obnoxious. I just want to see a nice bullet point summary of the new features. Not a completely scroll-hijacked web "experience" with 4 seconds of time consuming pretty animations and transitions.

I'm sure that must appeal to somebody (average Uber user?) but it annoys me.
This was a really vexing article to read. No mention of other benefits of having a startup mentality inside the federal government, or any of the other benefits that groups like 18F or USDS have had.
I think this was one of the biggest take-aways I got from attending a coding bootcamp, honestly. Basically everybody failed their first on-site interview, even the strongest candidates from the cohort who went on to get the best overall results.
Yes, this is the pain point of things like this. It really will (most likely) take someone branching it off into a paid product to advance it faster (or) a very large amount of people getting involved. Traditionally these things grow slowly, but I am impressed at what they have so far.

As a Greek I'm aghast by fellow know-it-all Greeks who bought in in this we deserver what we're going through. And it's not just random commentators on HN, it is an entire political class.

> Are ordinary Greeks to blame? Yes, they're responsible for the people they elect.

G.Papandreou who campaigned with the MOTO "there are enough money for everyone", went around Europe calling Greeks crooked by default. As if every Greek is a crooked and tax-evading[1] citizen. Then came along Pagkalos of course, but the same MOTO is rhetoric is re-played time and again by politicians, just to name a few: A. Georgiadis at "Enikos", A. Loverdos before him, E. Venizelos and many others have replayed this recurring theme.

I don't believe that there is another country's population, who has received so much systemic brainwash into believing that it is it's own fault.

You want to tell me that when the Minister of Finance tells me that our banks are safe (2008), you would expect from the 60-year old public worker to understand that he is lying and believe otherwise? I don't.

So again to answer your question:

> Are ordinary Greeks to blame? Yes, they're responsible for the people they elect.

Fuck no! It's easy to be pissed with the prior generation but it is a simplistic and stupid approach.

> Technically the ECB threatens to stop providing emergency credit.

I won't enter into details because I'm bored. I've have written thousands of word regarding Greece, the EU and ECB here on HN and honestly I'm tired. The ECB was created as an apolitical instrument and it's been since then used time and again (Ireland, Greece, Portugal) as a political tool by French and German politician to save their bankrupt banks.

Do you have any idea what is really happenning here[2] ? It's not about Greece, so hatred should not cloud your judgement. If you don't know what is happening in this instance, please gets your fact STRAIGHT please.

ADDENDUM: The only politician who got it right about the ECB was M. Thatcher in her last speech in the house of commons: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vZZf7cLhPG8 - it's outstanding how a right-wing, libertarian politician understood, what French, Greek, Italian, etc. Socialists failed to see...

[1] The problematic relationship between Greek citizens and the Greek goes back to 1821 and it's almost exclusively the state's fault. There are cultural and historical reasons why this is, however, the state still today sees the average as tax-evader a priori.

>> Should it follow the US racial distribution?

Should it follow the local area's racial distribution, especially if that is divergent from the national averages?

In any case, one pro-diversity argument is that across cultures and genders lie different ways of looking at the world and looking at problems. This adds more potential good solutions to the discovery space your workers are exploring.

However, I think underlying these movements is that companies desperately do not want to be viewed as socially offensive, to avoid being in the crosshairs of devastating angry mob backlashes.
There is no evidence that the commenter holds or trades bitcoin, and you also didn't provide any reasons for a blockchain being more valuable than private databases in the contexts he talked about.
And if you really wanted the job you'd take a few minutes to personalize it. I'm assuming most hiring managers want that part of a cover letter to see a little about you as a person and why you're interested.

I'd rather hear from someone specifically interested in this job vs someone looking for just any job.
There are two sides to this and I think they're important to distinguish: If the person in question was wrongfully accused, this could do undeserved damage to him. This would be a misfortune (albeit not a great one given how little activity my comment generated) but I'm currently sufficiently convinced this won't happen that I went ahead and posted the comment.

The other matter is rehabilitation. Whether he should be allowed to apologise at some point, say that he made a mistake, and be welcomed back, is something that you cannot decide for everyone. It's up to your personal beliefs, in particular your religion. Everybody needs to determine that for him- or herself, in my opinion.
