No, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. The pollutants from coal burning are waste products like CO and NO2. If you can capture those, or find ways to burn the coal "cleaner" to only produce beneficial CO2 and heat, the problem is solved.
>how could they not see that Clinton was a fatally flawed candidate

Interesting theory when she got more votes.
Just for the sake of completeness: And less people voted for Clinton than they did for Mitt Romney in 2012.
That is the problem that should be fixed, for all public companies.

Pact is fundamentally different from Hopper, reflecting our goal to create the right database metaphor for blockchain systems. You can see Bitcoin as a single-purpose versioned key-value database with support for authorization with public keys.

Pact generalizes the versioned key-value database to be key-row, maintains a full history, and the rest of the language allows you to enforce whatever invariants you want, with whatever key-based authorization scheme you need.

As such, Pact is really a very simple language, which is really important for business adoption. If people are going to be entrusting code to execute contracts, you have to be able to read that code with some hope of understanding what it means. This is also why Pact is interpreted, not compiled: that way you can easily see what code is stored in the ledger.
I don't think PP worded his point as clearly as he could but I think he meant something more along the lines of "a small list of free books that is vetted for quality is much more valuable than a big list of many more free books that includes duds". There is an intersection between that point and the point you made/and responded to which is, "some books (and therefore vettings) are so valuable they might be worth paying for over a less good free alternative" ... of course weighted for the amount of disposable income a person might have.

I guess I naively see it as an umbrella identity for the other ones and it makes sense if your parents from different parts, or don't like the divison of the 90s (It pretty much means - south-slavic). But it has been heavily politicized like anything else in the Balkans. Also current political leaders in the region doing their share to smear Yugoslavian identity probably to justify the division in which this political elite prospers, rather than see a
return of some idea that will get people to look past their minor differences.
What's wrong with making people come through a door in a wall? You realize some people have homes with walls around them and they actually prefer visitors to ring the doorbell and wait for you to let them in. It's the exact same principle. If you lose sight of this very simple concept then you need to go back and see where you overcomplicated it. You don't see people like Richard Feynman going "oh this quantum mechanics, it's just too complicated, you can never explain in simply. Forget it." That's being intellectually lazy. The concept of borders, walls, immigration, visas must be simple to explain. There's a wall, there's a door. You want to come in, you go through the door. Done. If you think this is backward, then just remove the locks on the doors to your house while you're at it.

He's specifically talking about ILLEGAL immigrants. People that did not come in through the door. If you fail to prefix the word immigrant with illegal in any immigration discussion you're deliberately distorting Trumpian policies.
Yes. The confusion is understandable though because Optimus allows you to switch between integrated GPU (Intel) and graphics card GPU (Nvidia).

I'd say 10k LoC is where design and architecture start to become vital, you can't just hack away without breaking stuff.

I personally think copy & paste is an anti-pattern (instead, use features such as generics), but many think it is a godsend. Using code reuse rather than copying code can make a massive difference in size and maintainability, less is definitely more!
Two-thirds of Republicans still believe Obama was born outside the US. What possible justification do they have for that belief? Let's stack up our beliefs and see whose match more closely with "facts."
External recruiters get paid more for getting more candidates hired with the least effort per candidate -- they are not interested in spending a lot of time getting 10% more salary for a candidate, instead of getting another hire done.
I don't understand the paid part at all. If I'm working full time, $200 isn't going to swing me one way or the other on deciding if I want to do your homework assignment. And if you come up with a ten-hour problem, then we're talking more of a chunk of cash, but you're also asking me to burn a lot of free time.

I'd much rather travel and meet you in person and do stuff there, but if you don't have the budget for it, we could figure other stuff out (shared docs, skype, whatever, I've done a few of these on both ends with some luck).

"Since the candidate is getting paid" seems like far weaker motivation than "since the candidate wants the job you're offering," which is what's going to determine my level of effort.

The "not a real problem" thing is key, though. I've tried testing out a few different "this is one of our real problem" things but there's almost always more hidden business rules or assumptions in there than you think.

Do you mind not using multiline code block quotes that split sentences in half?

Not only is it obnoxious to read on mobile, as horizontal scrolling is necessary, but it also fundamentally doesn't make sense as you should be able to copy/paste whole sentences.

One might expect that as a recruiter/(ex-?)developer you'd realize how painful it is when you use this formatting.
I fear deportation, being unable to ever enter - never mind work in this country again.

You can call that a red flag, but it is the reality I live in. Maybe most of your candidates don't have that problem, but I would definitely be eliminated.
Interesting project. Though first thing I'd say would be that this seems like something that would be a natural for a touch screen. Given you're going to be pulling most of the info from bar codes, you're not going to be typing very long/often, and a keyboard would be added clutter for the majority of the time.
The Sanders article they published dates almost a year before the Trump one... They should have found their own article if they attempted serious research
Ok but what if the term limit was, say, 16 years for the House and 18 for the Senate?
>Everybody knows that there are too many government regulations, people across the whole political spectrum agree on that

But they don't agree on which ones should be removed. It's why "everybody knows" Congress is terrible but they keep getting re-elected. It's because everyone likes their representatives but hate all the others.
This interviewing method suffers from the tragedy of the commons. It works great when almost nobody is doing it because if most of your interviews are traditional it's easy to squeeze in 1-2 homework assignments a week.

However, it would be totally unworkable if most companies were to adopt it. Try finishing a dozen homework programs during a typical job search.

> It may look similar on the surface but Trump's proposal is nothing like the Canadian red tape reduction laws

You're pointing to a proposal (or more succinctly an initiative). Saying it is nothing like an implementation is misleading.
great read. one other thing that is apparent is despite this "we know better" mindset, liberals tend to operate on the emotional level (hence the name calling they resort to immediately as soon as they begin to lose an argument), whereas the republican camp typically appeals to logic.
But, for the sake of argument (although it makes me sick to my stomach)...

Given this strong emotional motivation, do you really think you can objectively evaluate the truth of these claims without bias? I certainly don't.

So to answer your question: scientific racism often has motivations that are completely different from those behind most science.

Juxtaposing this with your term "hate group", I assume you mean the motivation is some sort of collectivist hatred or other negative feelings?

In that case, it's pretty clear that you intend this to be a mere ad-hominem attack. You simply refuse to acknowledge the possibility that a person might hold certain positive beliefs without also holding certain normative beliefs. Essentially: "Anyone who believes in evolution must therefore worship the devil. The church opposes both of these things!"

Have fun with that. If you ever want to understand the world better, consider the possibility that atheists are not necessarily satanists.
A lot of the "Why is X illegal if doing Z, which itself is X & Y, is also illegal" argument reminds me entirely of the software developer's fallacy in code reduction.

I can easily re-engineer a core business application in a couple weeks. It'll do most of what the existing solution does, will be unit tested, and easily extendable. But, it won't cover all those edge cases we've all forgotten exist and that one exception that's required for client 2 who needs red buttons instead of blue buttons and remember that time we ran into the problem where the year-end report took 3 days to run, and locked up the weekly reports because new years eve landed on a Friday which made Justin stay in the office until 2AM trying to get the database back online?

I'm not a law professor, or a lawyer, or in any way involved in law, but the similarities between a 200+ year old set of rules that govern our society and a legacy application that we can't simply turn off for 6 months why we re-engineer it to be "better, but does exactly the same thing" is frightening. We've got a piss poor track record as software developers being able to take on a massive refactor and not introduce more bugs, what the hell makes us think we can consolidate hundreds of thousands of edge cases in law and not miss a bunch of actually useful things?
Being that specific is harmful to parties. Better to just always say there are "too many" and stop there.
Sure; some rules are easier to circumvent than others. The real question is whether it's onerous enough to act as a deterrent, not whether some people will circumvent it.

In this thread someone said it's like trying to stop the import of illegal drugs. Regulations seem to work for Singapore.

State of the Art Dnn.  Single Shot MultiBox Detector
I really like this, and have been trying to implement this at my company. One thing we are struggling with is to find the right challenge/project, in my case for the frontend. Two issues:

1. What is a reasonably sized project? I.e. often times two hours is not enough to produce something of substance/complexity, yet asking the applicant to do more becomes prohibitive.
2. I see a bunch of people asking candidates to do greenfield applications, while virtually all work most future workers will do is refactor and maintain. The latter however requires additional time investment to get to know an existing system/codebase.

How are you guys handling those issues, and trade-off time complexity against insight value?
You'll first have to prove your premise that he is all about removing regulations (no matter what regulations), because that assertion is hardly an axiom.
I still don't get it much (not a web developer). The only customization that I see is probably in the top bar. Can nothing be done that the page contents are still loaded from the cache but the top bar is loaded separately and customized for logged in users?
Funny, that "if one created, two removed" was a law imposed by a Principal Software Architect to me and my team regarding apps and apis as part of a rationalization program. "If you create this new API, make sure to remove at least two". I have to say, after two years there, that helped a lot to reduce redundancy and complexity. But well, apps and api are not the same of public policies... who knows.

Singapore has the lowest rates in the world. Sometimes regulations have the intended effect.
>"Lets sit down and look at these, and take out the ones that are just not applicable nowadays?"

That's corruption, or the Establishment, or something.
This works, but make sure they spend the 2 hours in your office and not 12 hours at home solving a 2 hour problem..

The other problem is that when you pay them you generate all sorts of nightmaris legal liabilities.
Stop spending on military and weapons and there's suddenly a lot more money for everything else. Every year.
That is a thing that happens, yes.

If that happens consistently for months at a time, then as said the PM is severely fucking up. And if that wasn't communicated as an expectation before compensation was negotiated, then the company is probably fucking up.

As the quip goes "If a race doesn't have an end, then it's a death march."

When algorithms matter, you do get a lot of performance out of a better algorithm. But I actually recently wrote an admittedly not production ready trie extension in C and it was about five lines of SWIG to use it from python.

> Neither Evan, nor the lead-developer of the company, feel that typeclasses, or something like it, needs to be in the language right now.

Need is not the word I'd use. IIRC (from some Github issue I saw recently) Evan has said they are adopting a "wait and see approach" on typeclasses and/or other type system extensions. Given how young Elm is, I see this as a careful and considered approach to its continued development, rather than a statement that its creators consider it to be finished and complete as it is at this time.

I've jumped ship on things for far less than a "need", just because there was something better. I expect that a lot of people use Elm despite any perceived deficiencies because they think it's still better than the alternatives for their application(s).
>I've worked in or with at least three of those. 8GB and integrated GPU is not going to cut it for a decent load on any of the basic apps.. Pro Tools will eat 8GB easily on a basic mix, Ableton will have you track freezing on and off all day.

While 32GB would have been nice (especially for video) I've used NLEs professionally and DAWs semi-professionally for years, and it was already 4-5 years ago that DAWs could run almost everything you threw at them in a normal session. 100s of audio tracks and tons of effects. And we still have freeze etc. Tons of pro musicians still use 3-5 year old laptops or iMacs with 8GB or less just fine. Most pro studios don't even have latest or maxed out Macs (or PCs for that matter) unless the owner is technophile. And for stuff like notation, tracking, mastering etc (as opposed to mixing) cpu power / ram is not even needed.

>Photoshop will grind to a halt trying to work on anything of reasonably high res, especially with more than a few layers.

Where was that ever an issue and on what jobs? Pro designers did the most complex composites and layouts, for print media and billboards, 5 and 10 and 15 years ago. It's not like resolutions have gone up since then (the high dpi computer screens are nothing much compared to high quality large sized print jobs people did in Photoshop even 10 or 20 years ago).
Question: What are the analytics that this website contains to track the potential support/non support of viewers of the document?
I'm with you word for word. And on top of all this self-doubt and soul-searching, I can't help but think that, should the roles have been reversed, we wouldn't be given the same level of credit we're affording to the "angry, illogical right". As long as we're the ones who are trying our best to support all of humanity, I think our heads and hearts are in the right place - Our expression of these ideas could use work.
Who is a Parisian, though?
No, but if Bernie was in that debate, she probably would have.
It is an homage to a 1994 "Contract with America" offered by the Republican Party's campaign for Congress. At that time they had been out of power for 40 years. They knew voters didn't like them, so instead of saying "Like us!", they said, "here, in writing, is what we'll do if you give us your vote". It was a good idea, and they won a major election which permanently changed the balance of power.

Trump similarly faced an electorate that didn't like him or his opponent. She said "Like me!" and he said "Here's what I'll do for you." It was a smart thing to do. A much lower hurdle to have to jump.
I actually think it's unlikely for Sanders, but Biden likely would have won, if he had run. Many many many people saw this coming and begged him to enter the race. Biden has a bond with the blue-collar workers who fled to Trump, he has a compelling life story and is free of any clintonian scandals.

Which is why DJT's ideas are terrifying. He wants to take a machete to the forest of legislation that is our government, and he has practically no idea why any of these laws were put in place.
At which point you can just use solar cells and batteries? I mean you do get high energy density with coal, but the downsides just seem too much.
Lol...I used my 2014 MBP as my daily for about a year with an external screen running off a DisplayPort to HDMI dongle before I realized it had an HDMI port built-in. (The only reason I even noticed is because I tried to use it as a USB port...I just never looked closely at the ports on that side.)
As far as this metaphor goes, the data is already corrupting. Climate change needs to be acknowledged, and the President shoving his head up his ass about this issue isn't going to help.
Yeah I just can't imagine how this could be enforced.
I feel like it's in the best interest of the employer to leave the choice of tools fairly open and see what the potential employee elects to use. For the example given in the article (a basic web application), I'd be very interested in whether the interviewee decides to go with a heavy stack, does it completely in vanilla JS, or something in-between.
Looks much better to me, including on mobile, and is the first complaint in the 2,020 days my account has been active here, whatever "one might expect". Additionally, it will look entirely natural to any of us who used email before it was mostly HTML.
Both of these links are about the same email chain that I already explained above in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12915266. Which email shows the DNC helping Clinton win the primary? They would have every reason to favor the candidate from their own party, but the emails show that they played it fairly.

Moreover, none of the emails show the Clinton campaign influencing the DNC to rig the election, which is what was originally claimed (that she somehow stole the primaries to the tune of a 4 million vote victory).
What changes if you drop just a handful of words so it starts "I am interested in roles paying above $xxx,xxx only"?

That might be my salary. It might be my floor for moving to a new, more expensive, area. It might be what I think my current salary should be.

Depending on how things like bonuses are done, base salary alone isn't super relevant anyway. There's a potentially very big difference between a company that says "we give bonuses of up to 20k per year" and "our bonus target for good performers at this level is 25%."

Maybe 9 times out of 10 the recruiter says "sorry, that's not going to happen." But you only want to find the ones who say "we can work with that" anyway.

This may not be the best way to absolutely maximize your total, but if you pick the right floor, you can save a lot of time up front. And the way to really maximize your offer isn't to hide your current salary, anyway. It's to take that first offer to another other company you're interviewing with, and see if they can beat it. That's your best bargaining chip.
I'm not entirely sure what you mean, but are you sure you don't mean an internal recruiter?
So what if someone in the 33% bracket can potentially save up to 8% more than someone in the 25% bracket, they're paying much higher on AGI! And when the rates are reduced so there's a lower incentive to use the accounts, it still can be saved/invested and grow tax-free and gains can even be spent tax free if used on qualified medical expenses. That's the bigger incentive IMO.
Show HN: the election is not over in 'HillaryDonald Go' game
Both of you have points, but I absolutely agree with this. Outside of "Healthcare.gov goes live tomorrow and turns out it's completely broken" scenarios I've never seen something that would require a ground-up design and build of a system under emergency production time constraints.

System knowledge and knowing which one bolt to replace or turn is almost always more effective.

PS: Not to mention, if we're getting into algorithmic complexity levels of engineering on a monkey patch to a production system, then so many alarm bells are already ringing.
Most external recruiters don't make much more than a couple of placements a month, so they are absolutely incentivized to amp their commission up as much as possible without losing the sale. Was this not the case when you were working as a recruiter?
>I don't understand the paid part at all.

There's a concept around a lot of preliminary engagements between two entities called "skin in the game." The idea is that when something is completely free the other party will take advantage of it without any real serious intent to follow through on anything.

Mostly this seems a reaction to the homework-type assignments where candidates are expected to spend a lot of time on some interview assignment with very little real cost to the company--which raises the possibility that it's effectively a cattle call.
I do pair fairly regularly -- for whatever reason, the concerns don't manifest the same way as in interviews. I can't think of anything in my experience (professional or personal) that's comparable.
For example, mocking masculinity/men, white people, Conservative people, etc is all "politically correct". I would not call it respectful to call Trump voters deplorables or to belittle issues that men face, but it's certainly not politically incorrect.
