I don't.

There's a fair amount of states who voted for Sanders and Trump: idaho, montana, north dakota, wisconsin, west virginia, oklahoma, kansas, nebraska - lots of these states were close races in the general, it's not hard to think that sanders would have won there since he was actually trying to address their core issue of middle class jobs. And it shows that at least the democrats in those states preferred Sanders to Clinton.

The states that voted for Sanders and Clinton: washington, oregon, colorado, minnesota, lots of new england states - basically all the guaranteed blue states no matter who the candidate is.

For every such anecdote, there is seventeen opposing anecdotes where the wife insisted on a diamond ring and/or her friends/family thought the husband was "cheap" for not buying her one.

Epitaph for a Bronx Accent
Congrats on the solid decade together with your wife, happy to hear you're doing well. I was wondering why in the ten years since your posting I hadn't come across much moissanite in jewelry, until I found out Charles & Colvard had a patent on it until the last year.

Really looking forward to how jewelrs will use these now that moissanite is off patent and startups like the Diamond Foundry have interesting approaches as well.

After decades of glimpses into the practices of DeBeers, maybe now will be the time the public becomes fully aware
Wife and I had read the Atlantic article before it was too late, went with plain wedding bands for both of us. However, living in America, this is causing issues for her, continuously having to explain to friends and acquaintances why she does not have a diamond.

We'd been looking for used rings as an alternative - hence, thank you very much for writing this, you just saved me and my wife several thousand dollars.
Ask her to read this article, and the Atlantic one it links to. My now-wife couldn't stomach the idea of wearing a diamond after learning about the industry. She went with a sapphire from a reputable company instead.

Other tip, her and I went ring shopping together, which really helped alleviate the pressure of trying to pick out something she'd enjoy wearing for many decades. She was still pleasantly surprised by the prosposal a couple months later, although she obviously knew it was in the cards at some point!
That makes sense, I think acknowledging with a "thank you" could go a long way. Not a big fan of committing to get back to the subject since it'd just delay the inevitable and possibly pile up onto a huge pile of todos. I guess there are sometimes no way around it.

I share your reservations about Johnson. He's not a "real" libertarian. Indeed, the LP itself has softened the platform far too much for my taste. But he was the best option I had on the ballot, so I chose him.
My wife-to-be and I agreed to skip 'engagement' and the money we would have paid for a ring covered the entire cost of our wedding and an all-friends garden-party.

To this day, no-one has asked my wife why she only has a [tungsten] wedding ring and no engagement ring. So that's 50c per day saved for better causes. And we have lots of good memories from the party.
I'm curious as to what other beliefs he has that would make him such a pariah?
With the move to mobile gaming, very possibly. Programmer convenience may not be as important as battery power.
In the past, I was responsible for analytics around a decision to autoplay or not autoplay videos on a media site. The site did both mobile and desktop videos.

* voluntary customer feedback was universally negative
* bounce rate decreased substantially (around 40%)
* total interactions with the page increased almost 3x (clicks on significant UX elements such as like/subscibe/additional video plays)
* interactions for those using some form of adblock stayed the same (presumably these people also had an autoplay off plugin)

In summary, what users say they like and what they actually like are wildly different. The average user seemed to engage more when we removed the burden of first interaction.

*We did eventually kill autoplay, but only so we could have a consistent experience between YouTube and non YouTube videos (YouTube took efforts to stop counting autoplayed videos for advertising purposes).
Fun fact: Moissanite is nothing else than silicon carbide, which is also used for high-temperature power electronics. So, why don't give her/him a MOSFET ring? ;)

This may be a great / bad idea depending on his/her preferences.
could that not be resolved with a reverse proxy or load balancer trickery? ie; hide the shard name externally.
You say: "only Trump had a less favorable approval rating"... so how is it that the "horrible" option stole votes from the merely "bad" option? If anything, it should have been the other way around, no?
I was surprised there was no mention of gaming consoles, where a similar dynamic is playing out with integrated CPU/GPU systems specially designed for the systen.
Note that this is the low-level API. For most people, I think, the recommended approach is to use libraries instead. Google itself has released sw-toolbox and sw-precache. There’s also a web-push server module for push messages.
The only special thing about diamonds in particular is that - as opposed to other fashion items - the market for diamonds has been[0] literally created out of thin air by a single company, thanks to many decades of marketing efforts.

[0] - according to sources like http://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/1982/02/have-you...
I had no idea that this could possibly be a thing.
We came to a similar conclusion. Although we had already bought a diamond ring.

After researching, we figured out that we could sell our diamond (we only got about 60% of the original price back from a diamond broker) and buy a twice as large synthetic diamond and still save several thousand $.

There is only upside as far I can tell: it looks better (clarity), is bigger (no can tell the difference between a real and "fake" diamond), has fewer environmental and ethical externalities, and is cheaper.
I think the "rule of thumb" is three months of salary.

PLAYLIST AMBIENT ABSTRACT EXPERIMENTAL DOWNTEMPO Music
Silicon suffers from thermal runaway. Junction resistance increases to around 160C then decreases until the junction melts. Which is why ambient operating is limited to 125C and TDP is controlled.

So no - you cannot make silicon run at 500C or 1000C with any reliability. You would have to build gate-level thermal control into the circuit, which would immediately adds a huge penalty in speed/size/cost.

Besides, no one really wants a die with a kW TDP.

It was bad enough with older MBs/procs that pumped out enough heat to keep a room toasty.

If you push that, you start needing climate control for domestic/office computing, which is going to be far too expensive for everything except high end enterprise applications.

Cooling is already a huge engineering problem for server farms. Making it harder by an order of magnitude won't win many friends.

And then you have the fact that most jobs can be parallelised. There are relatively few applications that can't be made faster by throwing more processors at the problem, supporting them with faster interconnects, and improving the throughput of the software.

It's not that there are no applications waiting for much faster processors. It's more that everyone is waiting for a post-silicon (optical?) breakthrough to make them affordable.

Blockchain for Personal Data Licensing
Is there any platform where I can securely store personal data (e.g. genetic data from 23andMe, personal health records, etc) on a blockchain, that allows me to sell access to my data for companies interested in studying it? Or is this a dumb idea?
I realize you don't want to debate, and I don't either (based on what you've written in this thread, I mostly agree with you). But, I've been listening to the guy on the radio for the last 2 years and I feel like I've heard this change/realization slowly happening over these 2 years. I never saw the guy on TV, and didn't even know who he was until South Park parodied him in 2010. He still has work to do (obviously), and I just think it is best to have these discussions with people so that more empathy prevails in our country. We just need less hate.
Microsoft Office Android Apps Confirmed to Get Chrome OS Support
I told my girlfriend (5 years) how I feel about diamonds and that I reject the very notion of buying a diamond engagement / wedding ring early on in our relationship.

Several months ago, we landed on the marriage conversation, again. I reiterated that I am against diamond engagement bands. She then said: "What about a wedding ring then?" I told her it applies to wedding rings as well. We got into a heated argument and she eventually said: "Let's just not talk about it anymore." What? Let's not talk about marriage anymore because I am against diamond engagement wedding rings and wedding bands?

Umm...Okay!

TL;DR GF said she doesn't want to get married unless I show her how much I love her by getting a diamond wedding ring or engagement ring.
Sounds like you would benefit from an Ayahuasca retreat or weekend on LSD. It gives you a new perspective on your life and also helps most people who are open to the possibility realise there is a lot more to discover.

If you are under 1000 years old, I'm sure you've only scratched the surface.
We were engaged in 2006 and I forwarded that article to my soon to be wife. Her answer was: I don't think this is funny. I ended up buying a 10k diamond ring. We're still happily married with 1 beautiful 8 y.o. daughter. Ask any married guy and they'll all say the same: pick your battles!
The question is not if India takes back deported citizens, but if they do it according to whatever rules the US sets up:

- The country is too slow in taking back people, which is entirely possible when the plan to deport 3 million people is implemented.

- Especially for "illegal immigrants", it's sometimes hard to pinpoint their actual nationality (and they might not be honest about it for whatever reasons). So they claim to be from India, but the Indian Embassy claims that they're definitely not Indian but given their accent may be from Sri Lanka (and so refuse to take them back). Sri Lanka doesn't want anything to do with that person either. Now what?

Neither of these need to happen, but these are issues completely outside the control of law-abiding visa holders that may soon be hanging over their heads.
I was looking at it and thought of Smart as a candidate.

The Nissan Verso undercuts it, selling in the US for $13,000 (including delivery fees and such). Manual trans, crank windows, with AC. It's also considerably more spacious without sacrificing too much fuel mileage.
This is a great overview. I find it interesting that there is still significant friction with setting up arguably one of FB's most useful ad tools....I also find it interesting that tracking pixels pretty much haven't changed since the late 90s.

It explores the limits of instruction-level parallelism. If you had a processor that could dispatch an unlimited number of independent instructions simultaneously, how much of an improvement in common algorithms would you get?
i'd not heard of it before; it does look like it has some very nice features. wonder why it didn't come up when i was searching for a windows sftp client recently.
So it's kindda like cows in Nigeria?
Not just that. If you also count diamonds manufactured in the laboratory, then diamonds are pretty common and cheap items. That's why diamond companies put a lot of effort into convincing people that only "natural" diamonds count as proofs of love.
You also don't know what your next thought is going to be. Furthermore there are strong arguments that free will is an illusion. See "Free Will" by Sam Harris.
Ask HN: Why am I not getting any interview calls?
I am a Java developer with 12 years of exp working for same company.Couple of years ago I got shortlisted by Amazon and 2 other companies, but couldn't clear interview.I gave up after a while.

This year I started trying again. I am targeting Seattle area specifically. I don't have much of a network, so I search jobs on indeed.com. However this year I am not even getting replies to my applications. It's like radio silence. What could be the reason?

1. Maybe my resume indicates I am not a good programmer? but then how did I get calls last time I tried?

2. Are the chances for job application without any employee referral very low?

3. Maybe nobody needs a programmer with 12 year experience. In fact, most jobs I see on indeed.com ask for 5-6 years of experience.

4. Maybe working for same employer so long is playing against me. If thats the case, I can't fix that.

5. My company uses technologies that are 5-6 years older. Maybe thats the reason? I keep myself updated by doing some sample projects, but most companies are looking for hands-on experience rather that just studying on my own.

6. I don't have official management experience. Maybe companies think why this guy is not leading people despite having so much experience?
I mentor my colleagues all the time, but I was never in a tech lead or team lead position. My company once asked me to lead people, but I refused because wasn't interested that time. But now I regret it.

7. I don't have a CS degree, although I am an engineer. But I really doubt if that matters.

Were you in this position ever? If yes, what did you do?

Edit:
This is what my tech stack looks like. Don't want to post my entire resume here.

Santander uses selected digits of PIN and selected characters of password, with a numeric user ID.

In fairness to them, they do use 2FA for anything involving moving money around.
This doesn't work. I have tried it. She (my GF) just argues with me about any purchase I try to make that is around the ballpark of what she is expecting me to pay for a ring.

e.g.

Her: So you want a new MacBook Pro, but you can't afford a $3000 engagement ring?

Me: No, I need a MacBook Pro for work.

This has been going on for quite some time now.

Great job - the currency is down 97-99% since launch 2 weeks ago (depending on what prices one takes from the first day of public trading). I've been following Altcoin launches since 2013, and this was the most ill-advised and corrupted so far.

I'm interested in how this works with your business model.

Do you charge job posters extra to get wider distribution (or more budget) on the ad you are running for them?

Or is this more of a growth hack to simulate having more organic traffic flow on your site?
The illusion of free will isn't, though :) Still trying to figure out what that means.
Yes, they're learning. They walk out the door with tangible skills, like writing their names, counting to 100, the alphabet, how to add and subtract. How would you know if it's just control. You don't but I do.

It's not racist, I'm white. It's never racist, if it's reality. Your "education is daycare" perspective is absolute nonsense. A failed education system run by people with low standards, is daycare.
The direction that I fear is most likely is that we will have an immigration bill that appeases Trump's supporters by marginalizing immigrants while simultaneously quietly advancing business interests by expanding H1-B in a way that won't end the current exploitation.

In the meantime, I've taken to blocking hosts and/or domains which are used to serve autoplay media. A small list generates exceptionally high mileage.

http://pastebin.com/FzAgkRnB

I implement this on the router via DDWRT, which protects the entire LAN. You can also add this to your own /etc/hosts file(s) on individual machines, or go further and have a local DNS server be authoritative for these services.

The block is intentionally global, and encouraged, as media providers themselves will find that they cannot reach anyone, anywhere so long as autoplay is a default.

Again: the Internet and Web are ultimately a user-determines-policy system. And if servers say "fuck you" loudly enough to users, then users can say "fuck you" back. And win.

The 14 Characteristics of Fascism (2003)
A complete surprise proposal is a bad idea, IMO. We're talking about a (nominally) lifelong decision. In a relationship with good communication, the proposal should be a formality, because marriage has been explicitly discussed, probably many times, over the course of the relationship. It can and should still be a romantic moment and even a bit of a surprise.
This, btw, is where the EU cookie law applies, and what it was intended to prevent.

You can not embed that tracking pixel without first having approval from the user.

That's what Obama gets for not closing Guantanamo Bay after 2 terms, 8 years+ since the promise.

Whenever i interact with Vimeo i find it coming across as "hipster Youtube" if that makes any sense. Even when used for tech demo videos, everything from the lighting to the presenters scream "we are artists, not techies".
Stranger murders are particularly difficult cases to clear; here I'm talking about "real felonies" in general, and I'm also speaking very generally. E.g. Chicago's murder clearance rate for 2016 murders has plummeted to 21% (http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/breaking/ct-chicago...).

Here in my above average crime rate (old mining town) corner of SW Missouri, the murder clearance rate is very high. However, the first relevant thing I found on Google was a State Police summary document for 2013 (https://www.mshp.dps.missouri.gov/MSHPWeb/SAC/pdf/Crime%20in...), violent crime clearance rate was ~50%, murder ~64%. And Missouri overall might be a good proxy for the US in general, we have everything from two old urban centers to the most rural of areas.

So, yeah, you could well be right in #0, and you're certainly right with #1.
Can't say that I like the idea of a kingly reserve to "align interests". Honestly the biggest pull I would have to invest is because I feel I missed the boat with Bitcoin and would feel smart being getting in on the ground floor.
Yeah we did a Sapphire as well, it's crazy what colors you can get. I asked her to marry me without a ring, and then we designed the ring together. Altogether a much less stressful experience and the surprise was still there.
Are you sure that was written by Dostoyevsky and not Ayn Rand?
Probably true for the most part, given the nature of the user base. On the other hand, Tesco Bank got owned this week.
A US marriage is phenomenally expensive. If you want to send 50c a day to Africa, and you can't afford it, it's probably better to cut back on dressed chairs at the wedding than to tell your future wife who wants a ring that she's not going to get one.
the last time i was in a position that i oversaw hardware purchasing... you get better deals based on your overall spend. after we had spend 250k we got a new sales rep that had access to offer us lower pricing, same thing happened once we breached the $1m mark. new sales rep and pricing went lower. In fact, our first sales rep couldn't even make up a reasonable deal at $80k because he didn't have access to that level of discounting.

usually i always send everything back and tell them to do better.

my biggest gripe about dell pricing was no line items, just a bottomline price. so i couldnt tell which things i could save money on by sourcing them elsewhere(ie: larger drives, large amounts of memory)
