C02 is one of the worst 'dirty' emissions (methane is worse), and C02 is the most important gas for controlling the earth's temperature - http://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/Features/CarbonCycle/page5....

"The current episode of global warming is attributed to increasing emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases into Earth's atmosphere. " - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carbon_dioxide_in_Earth%27s_at...

Also in the first few lines of wikipedia you will see that C02 is only 0.04% of the atmosphere. This small percentage has huge effects.
Do you seriously believe that Russia will invade Europe the moment that USA stops supporting NATO?

Florida is 1 of the 1st States to be severely affected by rising sea water levels from Climate change, and they just voted this guy into Office. Wow!
The impedance mismatch between Erlang/elixir is much smaller than that between Java/scala. All data types are the same, functional idioms and conventions are the same, exception handling and propagation is the same. None of that is true of Java/scala.
The notion that a college education bestows upon the recipient liberal viewpoints is absolute rubbish. Various universities have different rates of liberalism/conservatism; major programs within universities also have great disparities.

This also fails to address the survivor's bias that perhaps those who actually can enter college may already be predisposed to liberalism due to locality and family circumstances.

To abuse the old HN gripe, correlation doesn't imply causation.
In other words, you fear that Republicans might pull a trick similar to what Reid did 3 years ago in implementing the "nuclear option"[1]? Did you protest that at the time, or since?

A lot of QC is made of run down blue collar workers who are on hard economic times, and somewhat xenophobic. I'm wouldn't be so quick to say Trumps policy would fail here.
I woke up today to the news and an idea came
Russian clickfarms are undefeatable
Not sure about the politics, but yes. And as someone commented below, we're going to have to find socially useful jobs for another swath of blue-collar men soon, when all the trucks go automonomous. This is a BIG problem - any ideas?
"RULE #1 — Give them the weekend to solve the problem."
I won't say this is a bad rule, I'll just say that you should be flexible.

I declined to participate in an exercise similar to this while looking for a job this summer. The task was pretty complex, complex enough that I knew it was going to take a significant fraction of my weekend, but doable.

I live in Colorado and if you think I'm going to spend the weekend working on a job offer instead of heading out for the activities I want to do, you may be surprised to get my email saying no thank you.

tl;dr some people don't wanna do your interview on their weekend so be flexible.
This seems really an intuitive way of getting the tables. What would be the most similar library in python for those cases where R isn't available in the system (with the permissions in some labs machines, unfortunately it takes weeks-forever to get R installed)?
Ah, okay then. I was curious, thanks for the info.

Idea: make users with high karma capable of using benign, unassuming and non-common parts of speech to ping the admins?

...I think I've been thinking about security too much
That's assuming he spent nothing at all, which I find to be a ridiculous assumption.
I tried submitting it, and I see it may have (recently!) been on the front page!

I'm all for pounding the pavement if your network doesn't line you up, but 20+ in 2-3 weeks suggests a very different assembly-line approach. I'm having difficulty imagining how it would be logistically possible for me to line up 20-30 interviews in 2-3 weeks where I had predetermined that they were all places I wanted to work and could make my case. I would hope for a batting average and negotiating leverage where if I got in the door at a lot fewer places I would find something that worked.

Then again, everyone is different.
Do you mean pay them for the interview time? People will start interviewing for a living.
A worthless rant. Nothing but click bait. Move along...
Most ordinary Intel Core CPU's incorporate a graphics engine with multiple cores. So under Linux, they can use proprietary graphics drivers. With a discreet GPU, the story becomes even muddier, because Intel's Optimus (a technology that switches between discreet and on CPU graphics for power savings) is not fully implemented by Nvidia's Linux drivers. So there's no dynamic switching like there is in Windows.
This is the coding exercise/homework interview.

A bunch of place do this in some form or another, usually without paying the person, and as part of a series of interviews on an interview day.

I myself don't like homework questions, mostly because I still have to do an onsite, and I only have so much time to do these things. They are usually much longer than 2 hours too. If you communicate upfront that it should only take 2 hours and would remove the need for an all day onsite, then I would definitely be pretty excited. It would probably let you interview a segment of employed engineers who don't want to sacrifice a vacation day to do interviews.

I really like coding exercises as a general interview type although, I feel like it's the most important & real part of an interview.

The paid version doesn't work for people on a visa or are worried about IP assignment agreements, but I like the charity idea brought up by another person to solve this.
Wait, so everyone is supposed to hire this dude, or else they're racist? Not really arguing with you considering that you acknowledge it's just one data point, but this standard is unfalsifiable. By your logic, there's no way to decline hiring him without being a racist...
Isn't liquid CO2 used as a coolant? Sounds like we have our global warming solution.
I don't believe that's what was said. But in any case, the answer is generally no, depending on your definition of "read".
Yet somehow they have built up more infrastructure in a year then we did in decades while running a huge trade surplus.
We get back disposable crap that does not create any lasting assets.
> > It gives the candidate a real life sense of how you interact with people on the team.

> Where is this coming from ? This is just another assumption the author is making.

It’s coming from the fact that you’re giving someone a project and discussing the result with them.

> > The biggest issue I have seen with tech hires is that they can become very defensive over their solution. I will purposely challenge their solution to see how they react.

> You are asking us to be non-judgemental in the paragraphs above and then being judgemental on the candidate becoming defensive.

That’s not being “judgemental”. It’s just using regular judgement – evaluating a person’s willingness to listen to criticism. The earlier points were about hearing rationale for choices without previous criticism.

> > Pay them immediately on Monday

> Why ?

It shows that you’re well-organized and keep your word.

I think most of your arguments were coloured by the mention of a paid product.
Then give them jobs in the parks service, pay them to clean up old mine sites, pay them to plant trees, pay them to install fiber optics lines, or anything.
>How is that considered feasible by any rational person? It might sound great if you don't think too hard about it.

Very "rational" non-arguments. You must have thought hard about it to come up with those.
His name is douche and he's commenting on a guy being burned! Guess I'm not funny I'm just mean....
One thing I enjoyed about consulting is the opportunity to work with so many companies that gave me a glimpse into their work culture. There have been companies where the experience I had interviewing completely shielded the shitshow underneath. And other companies where the interview process was really boring and routine, but the people inside were dynamic and amazing to work with.

I like this approach of merging consulting and interviewing because it gets interviewer and interviewee closer to the source of truth about how a real work relationship will exist.
How did I not see this before the election (even if it came out 102316 as evidenced in the file name)? Why did NYT/Guardian/all of the news sites that I regularly visit not report this?

This is a clear policy proposal, contrary to everything I had read that said he had no clear plan.
I am sorry for you guys and girls from the US of A. You seem to be really traumatized by the result of the election. But keep calm: the fact that the majority (OK, a small minority) of the land of the free voted on the wrong/right mascot won't change the outcome of the game. Or do you really think that the people sitting on billions of dollars would risk loosing their power because of your vote? They didn't get there where they are because of paying attention to your opinion but because of ignoringt it. So relax, everything will be OK. Or not. But not because of Trump.
If he doesn't keep his word we'll have ammo to oust him in 4 years, perhaps impeach him sooner, perhaps revise congress in 2 years. Otherwise, we get the change we want.
Tesla owners wouldn't be able to drive on most roads if this bill passes
You're young you can do anything.

Web development if you enjoy it can be rewarding and fun, and pay the bills.

Network, find someone who works in the industry who can help get you in the door.

You mentioned HTML5, CSS and PHP.

You can do this without a bootcamp.

Do you have a macbook? If not I would recommend saving up for a macbook (an air 13" would be perfect <$1k on sale or refurbished, or a mac mini). You'll need it down the road when you get to more advanced topics. Windows is ok initially.

First step is learning HTML and CSS. (if you haven't already)

Then PHP, build a simple web app, get hosting FTP your files to get things working. Learn about shared hosting, domains (pointing A records). Learn the basics of MySQL.

Next learn javascript and jQuery.

Now you should be building your own websites and web apps.

Another possible path is learning WordPress (PHP).

Once you have the basics down you can move on to a framework, for PHP I would recommend Laravel. Great tools, great community, and getting really popular, used by lots of projects and companies.

You can learn a lot by signing up at laracasts.com, it's $9/mo but well worth it.

Use git or bitbucket, start deploying projects to digital ocean VPS hosting, forge.laravel.com is a great tool for creating and deploying to droplets.

Start getting the basics down and keep leveling up with the projects and fees/rate you charge.

Checkout Larajobs.com

If you have a question run in to problems google it and check stack overflow. Reach out to developers. You can build a nice network of developers willing to answer questions and point you in the right direction.

feel free to email me: HNusername at gmail.

Hang in there, Good luck.
I don't think Americans would want that either. People generally prefer taxes that are hidden, and Americans seem to like paying for a huge military.
To add on, part of the galvanizing force that created the political block (those tens of millions) was they don't like GP's exact attitude!

People really, really, really, don't like it when you deny or trivialize their experience. I think it was the final straw that led to the Trump victory.
Shouldn't a reference device not suck? Not saying this to be a dick, but "it's a reference device" is a terrible response here.
It's not fair to say, "So and so would have won if not for the electoral college." That's about as fair as saying a different candidate would have definitely won if they got the nomination instead. If the candidates were going for popular vote they would have run a completely different campaign, focusing on population dense states. So it's impossible to say the popular vote would have been the same.
It's relatively large for a Phoenix web app, given that there aren't that many out there yet.
Finally, this made it onto the front page...

I like seeing an example of the TDD process with a more real algorithm than you usually see. Bowling score counters and reverse-polish calculators get a little tedious.

I've been meaning to go through this series in depth http://www.daedtech.com/tag/chesstdd/

It's hard to cultivate the proper mindset when you're constantly in get-shit-done-now-now-now mode all the time...
I suspect you're correct and that the new BIOS may break Windows certification. My experience is that Windows 10 runs fine on non-certified hardware since it's running fine on four non-certified machines here at the house.
It's a very recent fork of ownCloud, so if you know what that is, most of your knowledge transfers. It's basically self-hosted Dropbox/Google Drive/OneDrive, with some initial support for other cloud-y things: web-based document/spreadsheet/presentation software and chat/call/video conference being the main two. The value proposition is all in the self-hosted part. If you have a problem with giving a third party access to all of your files, this is a possible alternative. If you trust Google/Microsoft/Dropbox with your files, your life will probably be a whole lot easier letting their massive engineering and ops teams manage servers and software for you.

It's definitely not an all-in-one small office solution, there's no email app.
Protection against healthcare discrimination, housing discrimination, and bathroom use. Under Obama, I was also able to get a passport with the correct gender marker, which I wouldn't have been able to do before without being forced to have expensive surgery.

A number of these were done through executive action, and Trump has said he will overturn them in office. Yes, laws still apply. But not if they aren't laws anymore. Pence was the one who signed Indiana's controversial Religious Freedom Restoration Act into law, and has advocated reparative therapy (brainwashing the gay out of you), which is ineffective and incredibly damaging.
Basically the federal government says "Round these people up, an oh by the way do it on your own dime." These cities basically say no, we're not going to pay for that.
I don't see the quote you mention in the linked article. However, the wording is ambiguous.
That's fewer than the number of US auto workers who will be out of work if Trump keeps provoking a trade war with Japan.
Exactly my case. My startup is ending and I'm looking for work. Wonder if there's a way to look up companies that hire by giving assignments.
> Sure, you may notice, but you can't prove my new chain is forged. I'll say the backup chain you're using as proof is the forgery...

If the items in the chain have digital signatures, you can prove that the people they're signed by contradicted themselves (or lost control of their signing keys). In Bitcoin people have felt that this wasn't good enough by itself, perhaps because there's not necessarily recourse against a counterparty who double-spends money, but you can still show that the double-spend attempt happened and who (in the sense of a signing key/address) was responsible for it.
I read the money/difficulty calibration as "pick a problem that you think would take someone about 2 hours to implement and offer $200 for completion." Not "offer $100 per hour and then cough up $1600 when the following Monday the candidate swears that they spent two full days on it."
Thailand, Vietnam, Southern India - Cheap places with good expat population
The overt reasoning of the most prominent Southern Democratic legislators was that the civil rights focus of the greater Democratic party was the primary reason for their flight into the American Independent and Republican parties.

I assert that it is probably no longer a factor for the majority of Republican voters.

I think this is the source of the narrative, rightly or wrongly. I don't see any evidence it had anything to do with the Reagan or Bush presidencies.

In my lifetime I didn't see the uptick in overt white supremacy until President Obama took office. I think it is a combination of cyclical liberal excuses and some legitimate labelling.
Hi buckie, first I've seen of Kadena but like your approach. Deterministic BFT, built in Haskell, what looks like a Lisp for contract language prioritizing safety. Good work.

I'm helping organize a conference at Stanford in January on blockchain protocol design and security, would you guys have any interest in presenting about your approach and/or things you've learned so far:

https://cyber.stanford.edu/blockchainconf/
"Clinton's projected by the NY Times to win the popular vote by 1.2% right now."

So much for any of their projections. The actual popular vote difference is 202,340 -- less than 0.17% of votes cast.
This isn't a viable approach for much of the hiring pool, as a majority of working engineers have contracts which explicitly forbid work for contract for other employers.

As such, if you hire any of those, you're hiring somebody with a proven willingness to ignore their contract, which is a strong anti-pattern.
"Calling people out" is not a technique to help people grow. It's ridiculing them after applying a label from a distance.

The more people insist it was racists and sexists behind the vote, the more they miss the point. Part of the Trump vote was reacting sharply to the labeling + ridicule technique.

There are other options. Learn more about why they feel the way they do, understand them. These are (most of our) countrymen, fellow humans at the very least.

Education, understanding, compassion. Not ridicule.
I totally agree with your point of view.

This election results, the way I see it, is a big middle finger to the political establishment. Again, this has happened in my own country's capital citiy's election, an outsider won majority. If he does anything +ve is not the question, politicians need to stop acting as the elite, that's the underlying problem.
Downgrade attacks are actually very serious. The issue here being not with 4G/LTE in general, but with the strategy of downgrading to insecure networks after failing to connect with a secure one. It's like browsers falling back to insecure ciphers in HTTPS after failing to negotiate secure ones - a serious problem for the system as a whole.
Dell Precisions can be ordered with Linux in the US. The price is about $95 less, with Ubunutu. It's higher than Windows for RHEL.
Well, the WikiLeaks revealed they had some sort of "agreement" with leverage although I don't know exactly what it was.
What about doing something like the inverse? Top500 for algorithms on a fixed hardware configuration. You have an input dataset and an answer (perhaps something with an analytic solution, for sake of comparison). That would let you compare the algorithm more directly.
>I for one have always enjoyed using the service, but am thoroughly convinced that allowing the rental of entire suites is having a considerable impact on local housing availability.

I believe short term accommodations affordability is just as important as long-term accommodations affordability.

Valuing one over the other is the common fallacy of assuming our own subjective valuation is more accurate than the market's.

Regulatory prohibitions are harmful in two additional ways:

* they fundemantally violate our human rights. Any voluntary interaction between consenting adults should be legal, particularly on their own private property. One can have their friend stay over, every day of the year, but as soon money (God forbid!) changes hands, it becomes illegal and punishable with income expropriation (fines)? The absurdity of the law is an indication of its injustice.

* they have collateral damage. For example an Airbnb licensing scheme will often make the difference between a person renting out their unit while they go on vacation for three weeks, and a person not bothering, even if the licensing scheme does not prohibit this. Complying with regulations is an extra cost, and it's a fixed cost that disproportionately affects the long tail of the most casual/occasional users. Regulatory prohibitions like this are one of the biggest drivers of the professionalization of the economy, which disempowers people in lower income groups.
"Use cloud," without more, isn't necessarily backup at all.
Bull. There aren't examples and for you to say hat, speaks falsely to honesty and openness. Check your lies at the door.
That's my point. I don't think it will. So, let's be comfortable while we can. Also encourage people to try to do something about it but self-interest in short-term seems to prevail on this issue.
Then give them jobs. Plenty of old coal mining sites need to be cleaned up.
You haven't been paying attention. Ukraine, Syria (and by proxy Iraq), Libya, Arab Spring, Yemen .... now moving clandestine operations into central Africa. We also have Brazil in SA, we've had dronings in countless other countries, even against US citizens without trial which is also a first and I'm sure I'm missing a few on the hit list. Just because the tactics change doesn't mean he gets a green card.
I agree that there was noise regarding Trump not having a clear plan. That said,

- Did you check out either candidate's websites?

- Were you aware of Hillary's equivalent?[0] Was this reported in the news sites you frequent?

[0]: https://www.hillaryclinton.com/issues/

I'm asking the questions honestly. I did know of Trump's contract (though I don't remember how I came across it), and didn't look at the Clinton campaign site. I don't recall anything in the news about either.
they raise money for their party. Candidates who aren't up for reelection still spend a lot of time fundraising for members of their party.
Ask HN: Would you join a tech worker strike if Trump acts intolerably in office?
Tech people, if President-elect Trump acts in a way that actively harms the well-being of our fellow humans (American or foreigners alike) or if he tramples human rights and liberties in a way that is not tolerable, would you support an industry-wide strike? If we stopped responding to pages, emails, and generally stopped maintaining internet infrastructure, I can't imagine that impact would go unnoticed.

While the fine folks at YC like to advocate for business-compatible solutions for change (see the not-at-all unique or useful voteplz.com for one example), it's clear that our democratic future will not be determined by better software or more convincing blog posts.

I'm not sure what exactly would have to happen to trigger such a protest, but if the impetus is clear, would you participate? We're one of the only groups who get paid well enough to save up our income beforehand, and it's non-trivial to replace us with other workers.
Actually, it seems like a lot of them aren't opposed to keyboard jockeying. [1]

The definition of minority means that most of the people reading this aren't the target, and I'm saying that's what needs to change. They (myself among them) need to make sure they're not standing idly by while this kind of stuff happens. Because that's what changes racists' behavior.
It does not, but it is a useful benchmark to evaluate the claims of a swimmer with below average times who insists they become team captain.
