Digital Nomad Profiles: Transformations and Tranquility for a Mom on the Road
Many years there won't be a -30 day in toronto, and, even when there is, it's just a couple days. Between TTC and PATH it's easy to stay inside those handful of bad days.

Toronto is rarely below -20, which is pretty easy to manage with the right clothing. It's a shock for someone coming from an area without winter, but I know many, many people who have adjusted.
Would love to hear from Ben Silbermann - his quiet personality makes him someone who isn't interviewed as frequently.
Haha, no. I support the YIMBY movement as a matter of infringed liberty, but we need it so successful software engineers (as well as everybody else) can afford to live near their jobs.

Not remotely true. Mid-70s to mid-90s saw a huge increase in global poverty. Mid-50s to mid-70s did too. The last really sustained decrease in poverty before that was the 1890s and 1900s.
Google OnHub, or the newer google wifi are basically plug and forget.

The speed and coverage is also fantastic from my experience.
chronic6l has a wealth of peer-reviewed science on his side, tptacek.

While I imagine that most of us think it would be nicer if all subgroups had the same mean attributes, that's not the world we live in and we shouldn't turn our backs on science and embrace faith-based arguments, no matter how nice the motivations.
Google's behavior will continue until enough people leave to seriously impact their bottom line.
Anyone with W-4 and investments in a major mutual fund company probably doesn't have a problem complying with the tax law.

There exist third party wireless bridges that work well in such situations. I never hear them mentioned in discussions like this though.
I'm not the author, but I went through a similar process looking for a job when I moved to a new city. I had ~120 applications over the course of a month, with a surprisingly similar funnel at each step.

Managing the process wasn't too hard. I simply kept a spreadsheet updated with contacts as rows, and columns with dates for every step of the process including first contact, second contact, phone interview (s), coding challenges, on-site interviews.

However, you're right when you say "once you hit the 20 applications mark, it's impossible to know to which companies you applied for." Early on in my application process, I wasn't applying to nearly enough places, because I wanted to hear back from someone before moving on to the next. A good friend of mine gave me the advice "You should be reaching out to so many people, that when you get a response, you'll need to go back to research who it was from." It's a weird mode to operate in, but once you realize that as a new-ish dev the process of getting a job is very much a funnel like the one in this post, it's a strategy that makes a lot of sense.

I would highly recommend anyone looking for a job to follow the advice in this article, it matches very closely with my experience. Especially resonant were the points about making contact with real humans, and also to push tons of companies into the pipeline.
No, wrong. You can pass pointers to functions in C.
How Does Drive-By-Wire Technology Work?
With the rise to power of Trump's nationalism, I'm a little surprised the article predicts the diminishment of national identity.
>Because a comment made on a public worldwide-readable forum is not private, and you know that before you sign up with an account, so it's not like you accidentally made a public comment that was meant to be private. Protecting private communication is about just that - stuff that actually is private (to begin with).

That's an incredible strawman. Nothing you argue is a reason why we can't delete posts with our accounts.

>How does a forum look like when key posts are suddenly missing?

I guess that depends where your values are: privacy or making sure a forum "looks good".
"But, how do you convince the upper classes (who control the capital) to support it?"

This is a red herring. It's easy to assuming that such an enormous undertaking can be solved by "tax the rich". It doesn't work that way. There isn't enough money in the top 1% of the United States to pay for such a program. Inevitably a UBI would be paid for by the middle class, the meaty part of the bell curve.

This means people who took on debt loads to become a doctor, lawyer, whatever, and have worked hard to pay it down (and probably still are paying it down). $250k/yr sounds like a lot, but when you're paying back $400k worth of loans, it's really not as exorbitant as it sounds to many people -- especially if these same people are trying to buy a house, save for their kids' college, etc.
I would call a language like Haskell "purely functional" and a language like OCaml "impurely functional". A functional programming language to me is a programming language where functions are in charge of data. In a language like Java, data is in charge of functions (broadly speaking). In a language like Prolog, relations are in charge of data. It's all about what perspective the programmer has between the abstraction and the data.
You're right, they're not valuable in the capitalistic sense.

They're valuable if you don't want to live in the world depicted in Brazil (1985), or Neuromancer, or pretty much any cyberpunk dystopia.

I like the analogy, but I'd offer that those who like to eat without cooking are more akin to your average gamers, who get into the use of technology rather than its production.

Personally, while I enjoy cooking sometimes, I generally don't like eating for its own sake—I have three or four simple meals that I could honestly stick with for 90% of my meals and I'd be happy enough. Not altogether healthy, mind you—they're mostly variations on carbs and cheese with not enough veggies nor protein—but thankfully my wife keeps me from regressing to my own devices there. :)
His use of a metal fork in the non-stick omelette pan really bugged me.

I ordered a painting of a photograph my wife took from this site about a year ago. Overall I was pleased with it. It's a faithful reproduction but not a perfect facsimile. I think it worked well because the photograph (in low light) had a very painting-like quality to it which is what made me choose it for this in the first place. I think I paid about $60 for a 12"x12" painting. It took a few weeks but I was very happy with the result. I don't think my sister's painter boyfriend was very happy when I told him about it. This one time was out of curiosity but I think I'd probably contract a local artist in the future on principle.

>> I'll defend the parent comment by observing that we can reproduce this effect with non-judicial metrics, like "murder rate in majority foo-race communities". Assuming the reporting rate for murders is very high across the board, this escapes bias in both policing and conviction rates, and sends us back to other explanations.

A community has a fair amount of power in deciding where crime happens. The police (by policy or culture) can choose to push illegal activity to certain neighborhoods. If the police come down hard on drugs, prostitution, etc. in white neighborhoods, then that activity will move to non-white neighborhoods. The problems that come along with increased illegal activity, including higher murder rates, will be concentrated in non-white neighborhoods.
Ubiquiti equipment works better in my experience.
Every modern language is functional. :P But more accurately, every modern language is generally multi-paradigm.
If they are truly functional programmers, asking them will always return the same referentially transparent answer. Only side-effecting functions would return different answers at different times :-)
If you voted, and such a 51% attack happened, you would notice your vote was reverted. Not to mention getting that 51% mining power plus catching up to the blockchain to be able to reverse it is increasingly expensive the more time/blocks it passes since the transaction.

So yes it's not "perfect", but it sure looks harder to manipulate than a centralized database server that only requires a simple UPDATE sql query to completly and stealthily change an election.
-Yup, the affected population is so small I don't bother suggesting to websites and software publishers that they may want to adapt their colour schemes anymore

Kudos to my employer, though - after some discussion, I was given a small budget and our SCADA GUI frontends now sport colour palettes optimized for deuteranopes, protanopes and tritanopes.

We've got a couple of very grateful feedbacks - and, unsurprisingly, quite a bunch of 'Gee, did you have some colorblind sod do your GUIs? My display looks like a Grateful Dead cover!' from people who've inadvertently messed with accessibility settings...
The CivE questions are not much of a departure from Mech-E at all.

That still leaves chemical engineers and material engineers, and that is partly because Civ-E is older, and the need for licensing in Civ-E was established first, by the Quebec bridge disaster.

But ultimately the whole thing is an exercise in social engineering, to make you care about your honor as much as about money (the money for being a PE is not that big a bonus), and making you look at Civ-E for a day in this fashion, well, it works.
Yeah, I figured this is the reason. Interesting discussion around it. Probably a good middle ground somewhere.
CoreRT F# support progress
They are valuable. Myself and most of my colleagues make 6 figure+ with arts degrees. Journalism, Visual Arts, etc. On top of that, most of them manage engineers, or lead their projects. And the engineers who work with them would never be so naive as to insult their work or their education in the way that the individuals in this thread do.
They might want to consider implementing a few of those controls.
I don't think so and I hope not. All blockchain is, is that it's just a data structure. A linked list with crytographic verification of previous item with distributed consensus verifying a block of linked transactions called miners. There's very little stopping a group of people buying up miners like you'd buy up votes. Loss of centralized vote counting means you are at mercy of the miners and will lobbyists cutting deals to just buy up a giant pool of miners that defeats or censors other votes?

I just think the public's understanding of what blockchain is has been greatly misguided with sensationalist journalism by the media. "Look at Bitcoin it's still running" they said. And how many specific real world problems has Bitcoin solved other than dark markets fueling human misery? It's been around since 2009 and you are telling me it still hasn't found a problem to solve? Ethereum, post-DAO (they are launching another one after the disaster....) and hard fork validated that "immutable and code is law" is not possible when they themselves need to edit the blockchain to make everyone whole. /r/ethereum is now a de-facto HYIP forums from the early 2000s. Combined with an anonymous social media platform to launch scammy ICO by buying up old reddit accounts to sock puppet, manipulate votes and censor people.

What other possible use case does blockchain solve that our current web of database and cloud platforms can't? How does it possibly do it better? (ex. Ethereum vs AWS). And how will blockchain get around to changing the laws & regulations which it so boldly claims as a non issue?

With IRS going after coinbase users, it's only a matter of time before blockchain becomes just another elusive tool for tax payers to throw their hard earned cash at.

Decentralized & immutable they said. It can't exist when you introduce profits and you can't have distributed consensus because of it (see Ethereum). If you are working on blockchain technology you should consider pivoting because you are working on a solution that has no problem. Even if there was a problem to solve, it's hard pressed to convince people that just because you have a very complex system of blockchain backed with proof of work or stake, it's somehow above the law and you have nothing but good intentions when you are looking to clear millions of dollars by holding genesis coins.

Name one blockchain tech or company that is killing it right now. In fact the only blockchain company that's doing well are exchanges and brokers cashing on people's ignorance. This won't last, just like CS:GO skin betting websites who naively tried to claim they weren't dealing with fiat money. It won't matter in the eyes of a regulator.
Does anyone else notice irony.
Thanks. This should now be fixed.
I don't know that I knew that it was a honda at that point, I remember the shape of the car and it looked like an early 80s honda accord in my mind. That being said, my 2 year old kid can tell what kind of car it is by the symbol on the front.
A major point of markdown is that it is not a binary format and can be read anywhere without a dedicated markdown viewer. Personally I absolutely hate rich text editors, because they try to be smart with formatting, text adjacency, and copying.
Well, I was trying to make a normative rather than positive observation. So, to raise the issue how food "should" work rather than how it does.

In that sense I think Soylent would be technically fine if it was clinically proven to be safe in a very rigorous way, but I know a lot of people who would never buy the idea because they have a different vision of how the world should be.

The quote below from the openfood.ch website implies that the database is needed because it does not exist. We need a more robust normative debate than that.

"Is there a need for such a database? Absolutely. Today, there is no database on Swiss food products that is truly open, free, and - perhaps most importantly - programmatically accessible via an API). The latter point is particularly important as it allows for the creation of an ecosystem around open food data, one of the main goals of openfood.ch."
I'm glad the artists can make a decent wage in this model, especially when contrasting that the alternative is pretty much regurgitating other famous paintings. I'd bet that most are probably public domain by now but reproductions can be a delicate notion sometimes when it comes to whether or not they're being clearly described as such. The business model is a clever way to draw out modern service and utility from an otherwise quite dated artistic medium.
For the past two tax seasons I've used app.libratax.com to automatically calculate the amount I owe to the IRS. It also exports a list of the relevant transactions to itemize when you file.

It's made filing really easy, well worth the small fee.
Seems to me that's because functional programming continues to evolve (which is great!) and newfangled properties and semantics get folded in.

To me the core is "no side effects" though (for pure FP). It's interesting to see what others consider to be the most salient feature(s).
"At Hack Reactor, we’re trained to mask our inexperience. In our personal narratives, we purposely omit our bootcamp education."

Asus has semi-unified firmware for product line. It makes keeping things up to date easier. Quality went down hill on the RT-N66U (wireless instability), and rather than stick with older firmware that had more security holes than I could continue to track or try to fix it, I went with Ubiquiti equipment.

It's rare. And a lot of the businesses that are paying these salaries to new developers aren't profitable, they're running on VC money.

In my experience $120k is in line with a developer with a 4-year CS degree and 1-2 years of work experience and maybe some OSS work.
I think Thomas Kinkade's operation was one of the most lucrative.
Well if that is the case, and the degree doesn't matter, then the government has no reason to subsidize 200k college degrees.

Just provide free community college to everyone for a 10th the price and call it a day.

Yeah working with people in different timezones definitely comes with even more challenges. I've been working with a 13-hour time difference with my co-founder on our startup called "The Remote Trip" for three months now (I'm working from Thailand while she's working from Costa Rica). The best tool we've used so far has definitely been Trello, it's so easy to keep track of each others work activities and to ask/answer any questions (that's a benefit from working with such a time difference: you leave a question late at night and its answered the next morning!). Next to that, we use Skype for elaborate weekly calls and Google Drive as it is so useful for working in docs simultaneously (plus I love the autosave function). We now also have two additional team members, one from the USA and one from Germany, and although time differences are a challenge - with the right tools and a commitment to written communication it's definitely manageable. We've written an overview of all the tools we find helpful when working remotely in this blog post: http://www.theremotetrip.com/2016/10/21/7-tools-will-boost-r...

Does anybody else have any other tool that they would really recommend for a remote team?
Watch out for 'Trivial Accomplishments'.

It's a term I came up with as I observed myself making todo lists, completing them, feeling good about it, but realizing that I'm not getting from A to B on important projects. It's (comparatively) easy to make todo items like 'buy milk', 'get haircut', 'go on date with X', 'read 1 chapter of <book>', but these are what I call trivial accomplishments. Having a todo list 100% made up of these is a good way to fool yourself, because you will feel good about yourself (for a while), because that's just how we work, the illusion of progress fools the brain.

Way out: Separate todo lists into trivial and non-trivial, eg. I have a separate Trello list for each. Make sure your non-trivial list is not empty and you make progress on it. Hard items are writing/output versus reading/input. Another good way to identify them is if they're about Deliberate Practice.
This isn't true, most football programs have single digit percentages of their revenue being redirected back to academic programs and most of that is earmarked for scholarships for ...student athletes.[1]

The idea that football programs generate substantial revenue that improves academics for the entire university is not true.

No, he doesn't. He has a mixture of early Jensenist psychometric research that has been superseded, and neo-phrenologists like Rushton that have been discredited.

But of course it's easy to drop little bombs like this into threads and put the onus on other people to explain the science. That's what makes it trolling.

Whatever snappy response you have for this, please spare us. There is a reason "the subject of racial IQ gaps" is a controversial scientific debate, and I'm quite confident you haven't settled it.

Also: please lose your condescending tone. There are something like 5 comments on this thread in which I attempt to explain how the problems this CS research (which you appear to find intolerable) are going to cause problems for conservatives, rural citizens, and libertarians. All I see from you is derisive comments and an inexplicable defense of an off-topic introduction of racial IQ gaps to the thread.

If you have something to say about computer science research, go for it. Please do not pretend that you're occupying some kind of rationalist high ground while militantly preventing other people from discussing computer science on HN. The person in this conversation most diligently trying to turn it towards politics is you.
Right, Hanjin was the company whose exit prompted this article, but the Port has since also lost Hapag-Lloyd and a small company as well. Now there are zero container ships calling Portland.

Yes, it was an amalgamation of things. Management was not blameless but neither were the unions. And now, thousands of businesses are hurt. The work slowdown was a major contributing factor, and whether or not the slowdown was morally justified is outside the scope of this argument. The slowdown had a causal relationship with losing container service to Portland.

The most important reason is semantics. If "O" and "0" look alike in a certain font, should we use the same character code for both? No, because they have different meaning.

Here are some contexts in which this semantic difference is important: search (compare search results for "cop" and "сор"), alphabetical sorting, text-to-speech, spellchecking, case conversion ("ATOM" -> "atom", but "АТОМ" -> "атом", note the difference between t-т and m-м).
>SARs only apply to suspicious activity. CTRs are what your bank has to file for every transaction over $10000.

For every currency transaction, not every transaction. (if you deposit a check for $50,000, that doesn't get reported unless the bank thinks something about the transaction is suspicious)

Are bitcoins classified as currency for the purposes of CTR reports?
