I also used to pay for ACM Membership and I would often get banned for "excessive search activity". Semantic scholar, arxiv and citeseer are 10x better than the ACM. The ACM archive is total mess, bad search, slow access, no annotation. Looks like the same broken cold fusion site from the 90s. It is a chicken and the egg problem, making search better will encourage and enable more people to find untapped knowledge. The ACM could open up every paper older than 1990 and not have it effect their bottom line. So many other income streams than the library of old papers.
It doesn't take years to check if a child can read and write. But the main objection I have is the idea that it's automatically unethical to profit from the poor. Giving money to poor people is usually a more effective form of charity than giving goods or services, eg:
http://www.givewell.org/charities/give-directly

This is using the fact that profiting from the poor is possible to help poor people efficiently. Free markets generally work better than planned economies. Why should the poor be cut off from the free market?
For the screen, I'd suggest checking it out in the store first and making sure it feels right. The 13" on a macbook (air/pro) feels larger imo because of bezel and the different aspect ratio (16:10 vs 16:9).

What education/degrees were required for your remote job?
They aren't being coerced but maybe they are being mislead just in the same way that Americans were mislead by for-profit degree mills. Neither the prospective students nor their parents have any way of accessing the quality of the education that is being offered.

Maybe in 10 to 15 years it turns out that all graduates amounted to nothing because the education was not good enough and they had no future anyway. But by then thousands of very poor families would have been paying large sums of money for years to put their children through this useless school system.

Lots of potential for harm.
No way, apples and oranges. Also, we're not even close to having to make the decision - if ever.

Now that I think about it should apples and oranges have rights?
This is why I think papers should be annotatable and linkable by end users. Often we don't know how a paper fits into the knowledge graph until 10 or 20 years after publication.

Hm it's a good question. Maybe because my native tongue is Spanish, we almost never use the full name after the person has been already named (we have long full names...) so we tend to stick with a mononym in conversation. Usually the surname but sometimes the name, if it's uncommon enough, or even a nickname.

I use Gnome Shell (3.18) with a HiDPI display and everything works great out of the box (except for Steam).

My only complaint is that I haven't figured out a way to have a different scaling factor for each screen, so when I attach multiple displays with significantly different pixel densities one of them ends up way too big/small.
While everything you say is important whether we go to space or not, it does not save the mankind from catastrophic events originating from space, which may seem like having low probability, but still are not impossible. If there's even a tiny chance that a big enough celestial body somewhere from Oort cloud will meet Earth in next 100-500 years, it's time to go to other planets right now to be prepared.
Fan operation is pretty much dictated by physics. Higher wattage CPU's will generate more heat as a tradeoff for less throttling. The two ways standard ways to deal with heat are more aggressive cooling profiles or a bigger heat sink (i.e. a larger and heavier laptop overall).

The 5510's are packaged to be relatively smaller and lighter. The Precision 7500 models are heavier and larger. The additional volume also allows more expansion (and accommodate significantly more powerful hardware at initial build).

In terms of fan noise, choice of CPU and workload is probably going to make more difference than anything else.

You would always wear a full body suit. There are only two places in the solar system where the human body can survive for short time without any gear: Earth, ... and the upper parts of Venus atmosphere (lacking oxygen though)
That's clearly a faulty assumption. If production depends on a job and supply is short, then the value and pay will rise until supply meets demand.

The assumption also ignores advances in automation. Factories of the future may not need a single human, except the capitalist to sign papers.

Seems like HN people has a lot of Pro Congress people in them. How long are you gonna keep the narrative of that one riot and say Modi did that and sweep away hundreds of bloodbath across India under various Leftist and "Secular" party ruled states. I think it's not very romantic to report these facts in international media. God these self declared Liberals are everywhere, from New York Times, CNN, BBC, Huffington Post, all you need is to show that Hindus and anything coming out of India is Barbaric and must be eradicated. It would be good if HN keeps out of politics, and specially anything related to India.

This article is a bit inside baseball. For the majority of you who will not be familiar with this national capital, it really is quite an unusual place. There are dozens of sprawling luxury resorts (and a dearth of budget accommodation, unlike most of Myanmar). And a huge western style shopping mall with, of all things, a fancy wine shoppe at the front (this is not scandalous but it sure is conspicuous).

Hillary Clinton visited exactly five years ago. She almost certainly saw little of the country apart from the luxe interior of some government buildings not accessible to regular folks. How can I know this? Because in the new capital there is simply nothing to see, unless you count the capital itself. A paved road of 20 lanes is a must-see in every guidebook but Hillary might have assumed it was completely empty because it was closed for her motorcade. But those 20 lanes are always empty.

It's a beautiful country anyway.
People are not going to abandon the Earth, so we have to protect it in all ways possible. But it's still not a reason for abandoning our advancement to space. We do have resources to move in both directions.

"[...] training and selecting listeners used in audio product research, development, and testing."

When using your webcam, do you look at its lens or the screen?

I usually look at the screen, to watch the other person's image, so a high-mounted webcam makes it seem that I'm looking at their chest. Which may or may not be appropriate.

What about ketchup for example or BBQ sauce?
Yeah nah. I don't really follow this. Unless you consider terrible traffic and less than idea air quality luxuries. Having said that, I did live in Adelaide for 13 years.

It's a fact, not a matter of opinion. People definitely do pay a premium for the luxury of living in LA/SF/NYC. Just look at the rents as you move further away from the center of the cities.

You and I may argue whether it's worth paying that premium, but that's a separate conversation. Location is the most important valuation metric in real estate. A one acre piece of land in rural America could be worth $5,000. An acre in Manhattan is worth $90M+.[1]

No. I think being for-profit is seen as a negative incentive if you are an education provider.

Notice for example that while there are a lot of private universities in the US, there are very few for-profit ones and none that are prestigious.
I agree, as long as colonization is not seen as an alternative to securing our continued survival here on Earth, bar the kind of catastrophic events you mention.
We should think of colonization as life insurance; societal reform as a healthy lifestyle, health insurance and pension.

In my limited XP, 1 out of 3 interviews includes these idiotic brain teasers.

My guilty pleasure when it happens to me: toy with the interviewer until he/she gets the hint that I won't play the game. Interviewer: "How many tennis balls can you fit in a 1-meter cube box?" Me for the next 15 minutes "What's the color of the box? What's the material the box is made of? Can I deflate or crush the balls? What's the brand of the balls? Do I have to put a lid on the box? Am I on Earth or on the moon? etc etc"

Hug a tetrapod
Practically none of Ikea or H&M stuff is manufactured in Sweden and exported, though. Sweden is the hub for brand management and such, but the manufacturing is distributed to where the contractors do it cheapest: China, Russia, Bangladesh, India, Vietnam.

So the disposable goods are not exported from Sweden, they're imported to Sweden and other Western nations. And typically a part of the brand management is quality control that makes this cheap stuff slightly better, quality-wise, than the generic imports from same countries.

> “Fake News” Is in the Eye of the Beholder

no, it's not. Some news is objectively false and has been repeatedly, and conclusively, disproven (e.g. Obama was born outside the US).

> Much like the word “terrorism,” the phrase “fake news” will be manipulated to accord with whatever pre-existing ideological commitments its newfound opponents already espouse.

possibly, but while it may be hard to say which stories are 'true', it is definitely possible to identify 'false'/fake ones. See Popper's concept of falsification: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Falsifiability

Hello, this is a little unrelated question to this specific laptop however since the thread has some traction I'll post it here to get some answers - please ignore it if you really find it not related to the topic.

Now, I see that the XPS and most similar (good) laptops in the high-end price range have processors like i5-5xxxU, i7-7xxxU (for example XPS has i7-7500U) etc. Now, these processors may be i5 or i7 but, if you take a look at their real speed you'll see that they really, really slow: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/laptop.html. the i7-7500U has a benchmark of 5,306 while, the high-end laptop CPUs have around 10,000! Also, my humble 2 year old desktop i5-4690K has 7,700 (https://www.cpubenchmark.net/common_cpus.html)!

So my question and general comment is has anybody noticed it? I haven't ever seen that remark on any reviews. The XPS is considered one of the best laptops in the market. Is it really so slow? A fast CPU is required for most common (developer) tasks i.e compiling, running VMs etc. Why nobody's mentioning that slow CPU speed? I understand that the laptop manufacturers prefer these CPUs because they have better battery life but shouldn't there be an option for people that require the extra speed and don't care that much about the battery?

Please notice that this isn't an issue with XPS only, for example, the Lenovo Thinkpad T560 as an even slower CPU (http://shop.lenovo.com/gb/en/laptops/thinkpad/t-series/t560/).

From my market research I've concluded that the only laptops that do actually have good CPUs are the gaming laptops that have i7-xxxHQ and similar CPUs. If I am not mistaken, the CPU is not as important in gaming as the GPU -- while in a developer machine CPU is no1! (along with memory size of course)
Sure, but ultimately the money to pay for those things has to come from production. There's no free lunch.
Harman uses juries of "trained" listeners to evaluate its products and to participate in audio experiments (Dr. Olive and his mentor Floyd Toole are prominent in the field for their audio listening experiments). The "How to Listen" program is a tool that Harman uses to train its listeners. But they also make it available for everyone to train their ears.

So the answer is "all of the above."
Visited Myanmar over the past few weeks, thoroughly enjoyed my visit, Naypidaw was obviously not on the itinerary, absolutely no reason to go there whatsoever for the reasons listed.

That being said, traffic in Yangon is diabolical, if the idea is to build a new city to absorb some rural to urban migration then I can see the point.

Still, my money would be on Yangon as defacto capital if not the official one.

In one of my gigs, it was normal operating procedure to put logic in sprocs and call out to that from elsewhere. It makes so much sense - RDBMS engines are good at doing math, so we should let them do as much math as possible. ORM layers hide that away, and thinking about these problems in Ruby or Python work, but those languages just aren't as good at plain math as a database can be. I've done this type of thing in Rails and Express apps, and it makes complete sense there. You can even keep the sproc in source control by creating and changing them as migrations. It's tops.

>Judging by this article and others, "alt-right" seems to be turning into another way of saying "politics I don't like and wish weren't taken seriously" - not that it ever referred to any particularly coherent movement in the first place, but those in the media can't seem to further dilute the label quickly enough, and even those who formerly adopted it seem to be starting to move away.

The term "alt-right" was coined by Richard Spencer and initially referred specifically to his paleoconservative brand of ethno-nationalism. Now it is a broader term, yes, but it's meaning is generally intact.
Higher education is more about social signaling than actually providing education (STEM subjects being a partial exception). The main value is in the prestige, and prestige is highly path-dependent.

Another way of looking at it is every war before 1800 took place with a smaller global population than India has right now. Yes, a lot of bad things happen in India, but this is partly because a lot of things happen in India.

I was thinking about the voice intonation. For example the sentences "this is really great" or "how do you do? -> I'm fine, thank you" can have opposite meanings depending on the intonation. This explains a lot of the misunderstandings on written forums.

It should be possible to train a neural network to catch those special intonations, but it is IMHO substantially harder than the initial project, with uncertain results.

> it has become much easier to build intellectual conversations outside of the overton window of the universities.

I don't believe that is true. In fact the problem with the current rhetoric is that academia, (that is, the part of academia that can publish (thus the part that passes the review of its peers)) pushed its fringe identity politics rhetoric to the mainstream media, instead of the actual economic issues that cause the global Trumpism[1]. It's not a new phenomenon - academia always had control of the media rhetoric.

On the other side, conspiracies have always existed. From my european perspective, it actually amazes me how everyone is surprised and looking to russian conspiracies for explanations, when we have had this propaganda phenomena for a very long time under the cold war from both sides (and i doubt they caused a huge swing in democracies). Social media doesn't really make such a huge difference, because social networks have always existed, just not online, and just less transparent to everyone. I think Occam's razor would suggest it's much easier to explain your election results on economic terms (again, [1]) than doing a witch hunt.

AMP should be an optimization for browsers that support it, that way:

1. They don't have to hijack the URL. I understand the technical reasons for this, but it's unforgivable.

2. Browsers can provide an easy way to view the original/full content.

3. Users can easily disable AMP in their browser if they want.
