I see this kind of reasoning frequently, but I remember reading a study that showed that most of the Trump supporters were actually not victims of job-outsourcing and had good economic standing. Not sure if it was a non-partisan, credible study but unless you have good sources you might be theorizing?
If things are that complex, sounds like you need to be doing some discovery work (spikes) first to break the problem down. Then you can use TDD again :-D. So, I guess you're right - if you don't know wtf you're supposed to be doing, TDD is a killer. But then, so is anything else.
such a justification is dangerous and counter-productive, should you wish to continue having the ability to empathize with others in the future.
1400 employees huh. Well statistically speaking, he just insulted more than half of them. I'm glad I don't work at grubhub, where obviously international politics are more important than a cohesive team atmosphere.

Here's an idea, keep your opinions, right or left, to yourself. Politics, religion, sexuality, etc. have no place in the workplace and it's embarrassing that a publicly traded company's CEO would drag such nonsense into a professional workplace. This holier-than-thou attitude about the election and Trump is ridiculous.

No one likes a whiner. There's no crying in baseball.

It reads like an emotion charged poorly proofread diary entry that could at some point be used as material for a company wide email.

The fact that he just sent that out like it is on an impulse hints that there is a whole lot of reflective internal composure and professionalism filters that are missing. Thats not what you want to see in a CEO.

The language is ambiguous and buzz wordy enough that angry Clinton supporters could take it as a call to purge there fellow colleagues. And likewise Trump supporters could see it as a call for them to resign.

Overall, the damage this is going to do is precisely why you do not mix your personal politics and your business.
I've thought about it some more and I agree with you. I don't think this letter is a shining example that should be repeated ad verbatim.

However, I do want to express my opinion that in order for racism & sexism to be defeated, it's going to take some grit and discomfort. To quote: "When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality feels Like oppression."
But, reflexively, why are you putting yourself above the "delicate flower" in India, who, by the way, probably has a hell of a lot worse working conditions than you do? I'm entirely okay with staying late for an overseas call because I recognize that the price I'm paying for staying late is probably less than the price they'd pay for staying late, and I'm more able to pay it. It's a simple matter of not being a wanton asshole towards people I'm supposed to be cooperating with.
"This is why the hated Trump is so beloved, notice how the
campaign slogan isn’t ‘Make America Greater’, it is ‘Make
American Great Again’. This admission of a failure is
fascinating (for a politician) and utterly ignored by the
press."

Do you really think a politician appealing to an imagined past is somehow unique or novel or goes unrecognized by the press? "Make X Great Again" is the oldest political slogan, ever. It implies your opponent is culpable for whatever ills people perceive, while simultaneously implying that he can make things better. Make what better? Things, just like they used to be! How? By restoring the past, d'uh!

And absent mental illness, few people's motivations are as specific or esoteric as you argue Thiel's motivations. It's important to realize this, because it explains why it's so easy (and usually so meaningless) to accuse people of petty contradictions. You'll always find contradictions between behavior and ideology if you assume the latter to be as specific as the former. Conversely, if you make the opposite assumption, or whitewash or fill-in the gaps of someone's ideology to make it more specific, you can rationalize their behavior however you want. That's what Trump's base does, and maybe what you're doing wrt to Thiel.

Unless they have some form of mental illness, people usually have very abstract ideologies and motivations made concrete and specific by context. However concrete you think an idea is in your head, it's not. It's a mental illusion. If you want to understand why Thiel is supporting Trump, the place to start is with the fact that Trump is now the President-elect. And that Thiel, like everybody, is fundamentally an opportunist. And that many successful people are especially good at seeking out and discovering opportunities, balancing agility with focus. One thing we can be sure of is that Thiel sees opportunity with Trump. Trying to pin-down precisely what that is, or even assuming his aims are yet concrete, makes the same error as you accuse journalists of making.

Also, the term "technology" in economics doesn't just mean inventions and science. It also means process, like democracy, bureaucracy, or management style. Or culture, like admitting women into the workplace. Technology, in the vocabulary of economics, is a word that describes an outcome--improved productivity leading to a net increase in social wealth--not necessarily anything specific or even physical. Maybe Thiel believes technological progress has plateaued in America, but getting from there to why he supports Trump is quite a leap, whatever his philosophical predilections.

No, it takes money from the owners of the property. Rents are market based more than anything else. I don't care if the tax is 0 or 100k, the owner can only rent for what he can find people to pay. In my area (a vacation spot and college town), they could drop the property taxes to $0 tomorrow and rents will still go up. A high tax does not even really set a price floor since the owner would rather get something than nothing.
This is good news, I think? Thiel has some extremish views, but I generally regard him as intelligent and thoughtful. And he's in close contact with other smart, influential people (e.g. Musk, Sam Altman, etc.), which gives them some indirect influence.

Not that this makes things substantially better. But maybe a little bit? Hopefully?
I think we have a very different standard of what a "decent American" is. Perhaps we'll have to agree to disagree for now.

Yes, that's a great plan for YC. Go up to the next President of the United States and stick their finger in his eye. That'll really show him. That'll Win Friends and Influence People. Can't possibly harm their startups, either, to stick a finger in the President's eye like that. I'm sure they never want to fund a startup ever again that might interact with the Federal government in any way.
What could possibly go wrong, really.
A$266 for two complete power supplies.

I just hopped on eBay and surprisingly lightly used T- or X-series ThinkPads i5 and some i7 for under that price, shipped. Sure, they hold no candle to the MacBook's display. But when you could buy literally ten ThinkPads for a MacBook with effectively the same non-screen specs there's a bit of a gap there.

And I've had way more problems with Apple build quality over the years than ThinkPads.
However both parties are equally able to do the same thing. So would it make a material difference?

It's everyone's responsibility - I'm not giving a pass to the Heartland or the Coasts. I come from the kinds of demographics that connect with both - born and raised in a small, rural town just minutes north of Boston with a population of 6,000 that is nearly 98% white. I had never met a black person until elementary school when he came to town as part of the inner city outreach program to give promising kids a better school system. But when I did, his skin color didn't mean a thing to me, and I had always felt that way. I asked my mom why they shot Martin Luther King Jr because I didn't understand why it was because he was "brown" (as I referred to it at the tender age of 4). Just because you live in an insular, white community doesn't automatically make you an anachronistic bigot. It's an anecdotal reference point but so is this blog post.

Either way you side, this whole charade of "well rural America needs to read a few books and travel to the National Museum of African American History and Culture" is tiresome and making us progressives look bitter and callous to the fact that we lost, straight up, and we did ignore rural America: in the polling, on the issues, and their struggle to retain jobs. Not to mention that many poor people in the middle of America can't actually afford to travel to Washington DC to wise up and learn about other cultures. A really easy thing to ask for and a hard thing for a lot of people to do.

Someone said it on HN earlier, there's a strong link between economic hardship, bigotry, and low education: when you've been deprived of jobs and a stable wage, and you don't understand how the world works but you do know that the news has said we've been shipping jobs off to China and India, you're going to blame other people that are different than you. It's not right, but the feelings of not being able to take care of yourself and your family are valid and heartfelt feelings. And we as the technologically-gifted are partially to blame: we are automating jobs away. I wouldn't say that technological progress is a bad thing, but we set high standards for who we employ, and we, as a nation, haven't done enough to educate that workforce to meet the demands of the changing workforce from manufacturing to services/technology.
Great moral courage there.

YC has a choice: do what IBM did in the 1930's or not.

And before you say I'm "going Godwin," remember: It was Sam and Paul who've said they think Trump is a threat of similar proportions. If Sam really thinks that, the moral thing to do is cut ties.

And yes, it'll be hard. Would have been easier to do before the election. It will only get harder.

Thanks for the link! One nice thing about the original post is that it runs inside of a Swift playground, which, for those with Xcode (or an iPad) can be a fast way of learning and experimenting. I could see someone starting with this project and then easily expanding their knowledge by modifying it using resources like the one you linked to.
I have a 2015 Razer Blade Pro and it worked very well under Ubuntu 16.04. The touchpad, touch screen, wifi, etc. all worked well, at least on newer Linux kernels (the trackpad had issues on older kernels). I did some 3D graphics work, and the Nvidia drivers were much better than other drivers I've used on Linux. There wasn't really any "sorcery" involved from my experience; I just installed from the official iso.

I followed this guy's blog for some further configuration: https://alexcabal.com/get-a-working-touchpad-on-a-14-razer-b...

My main problem was that battery life was pretty abysmal under Linux. With Windows, I would get 4-5 hours under light usage, but under Ubuntu I would pretty much only get ~2-2.5 hours, even without doing much on it. Stressing the CPU/GPU made it die even faster. But that thing isn't really known for its battery life anyways.

Unfortunately I don't have Ubuntu installed on it anymore because I couldn't get Windows and Ubuntu to happily coexist side-by-side. Windows (10) always gave me a boot failure when Ubuntu was installed next to it.
How you can tell someone is perfectly normal: they will tell you they are normal.

On the topic, some GUIs are idiotic. A command takes a second to type, but a complicated GUI may take multiple buttons, menus, etc. that take almost forever to navigate.
Stupid move.

Messages send to telegram with the bot-api can be forwarded to anyone who has the chat_id and the bot token with the forwardMessage method. And the message id is an increasing number starting with 1.

So if they did not already disable (or got telegram to disable) the bot, they can now extract the infection id with the seed key.

tl;dr: All the information required to restore the data is accessible if you have the bot_token and chat_id.
Let me give you an example.

I first learned about neural networks from deeplearning.net tutorials. They use Theano, so when I got a convolutional network running, I was left wondering about two critical pieces: backpropagation, and the actual convolution operation. Theano completely hides them from a user. So I decided to implement a simple convnet using only Python and Numpy. That was when I realized that I had no idea how the backprop works for convnets. I'm guessing most people who only used Theano or similar framework to run convnets don't know how backprop works there.

Next, I realized that the code I wrote was too slow for any practical purposes, and I decided to rewrite it in pure C. Well, actually I gave up half way and used Armadillo package (Numpy analog for C/C++), but the end result was my convnet became 5 times faster. It was still too slow, and I noticed that my code is using only one core out of 4 cores available on my computer, so I decided to parallelize it, using Cilk+. It was actually easier than I expected, and soon I got almost linear speedup using all 4 cores.

The final exercise was to implement it with CUDA, and I got another factor of 5 speedup running it on my GPU.

The benefit of this experience is enormous - I learned a lot about convnets, I learned a lot about tools and libraries useful for ML, and I learned a lot about making my code faster.

p.s. I don't quite understand what you meant about Kaggle and CS.

p.p.s. And yes, I do still have a lot to learn, but I wish someone gave me this advice when I was starting out.
Also, things like this will probably make you lie in a telephonic survey, and that will skew the results of the survey ...

Has there ever been a case of a journalist winning a pulitzer for uncovering corruption within their own newsroom? I thought there was a de facto ban on that. (E.g.

>Mexico can't ever improve while the US continues to steal their despondent youth for low cost landscaping, house painting and wait staff.

Their options are working with the cartels or terrible local economy in Mexico, or going to the US to earn drastically more valuable dollars to send home to their families. I mean, we are being immoral by letting them stay here, but they are only so desperate because of how unimaginably damaging the US has been to Mexico. We mess with their government, incentivize them to sell us drugs by having so much demand for them, and exploit their natural resources. If anything, this is why I don't get anyone who thinks its JUST the immigrants fault - why do you think people commit suicide, or would think it's worth it to cross a border where they could be jailed or shot? Hint, it's because the alternative is so much worse. And anyone who is aware of even the tiniest bit of history knows exactly why the alternative is bad.

I mentioned this on the sibling comment, but I've honestly never had any issues with drivers/hardware support with Linux on laptops ( with the exception of putting Linux on an early 2015 Macbook shortly after they came out, which had a new wifi card model, one of those new-at-the-time force touch trackpads that used different drivers, etc.). That being said, I only started using Linux in 2012, and I know that things used to be much worse in that regard.

As for technical support and training, I can see that being useful in an enterprise context, but again, I honestly can't see the type of people who want to single-boot Linux on their laptop being interested in support and training from Dell, HP, etc. It's been my experience that by the time someone is comfortable enough to use Linux as their sole OS (which many people don't want to do despite being comfortable enough due to needing Windows for other reasons, like gaming), they aren't really going to need or want any tech support from an OEM.
