Unfortunately this kind of hit-and-run is quite common in Cambodia.

Sometimes there is genuinely no way to find the perp, but a lot of the time, either the police are cowed into not really investigating too hard (when the perp turns out to be the son of a highish ranking government official, or wealthy business family, for example), or there is this kind of attempt to make things go away by paying-off the victims, police and anyone else necessary.

I would guess (but you never know) Huawei itself may have little involvement, other than providing the salary required to drive such an ostentatious vehicle, etc, in what is still a poor, developing (though thoroughly corrupt) nation (http://i46.photobucket.com/albums/f135/gavinmac/15181532_346...)

I doubt the RoI is much more than if these were just suppressible warnings instead of errors, which work out great in C#.
Practically, what good is Google certification, if a majority of the devices in the wild are months or even years behind on security updates?
I can see where this received wisdom is coming from: a counter-reaction to the common tendency we had well into the 90s to hand-optimize every procedure considered to be even remotely on the hot path. It didn't even have to be inline assembly: it could just be C code sprinkled with registers, Duff's devices and bit shifts.

That used to work well enough for non-portable code targeting a limited range of CPUs, but nowadays the gains are too little , the RoI is negative and these efforts may actually end up backfiring on you.

I guess we needed to spread the knowledge that "the compiler is smarter than you" even if it wasn't really accurate, just to stop people from doing crazy stuff out of pure inertia.
The best co-founder is someone you've already worked with and trust. Convincing should be pretty easy: you should both be excited about solving that one problem. If you are not brainstorming non-stop and messaging each other at all kinds of weird times, you don't have a co-founder.

I recently got an email from an Amazon recruiter, who, for whatever reason, told me that their team is "largely working < 50 hours/week, in most cases".

The fact that they felt it important to mention this (and qualify it) definitely started me thinking...
10 months? What is the official standard timeline for success? And let's say a venture doesn't succeed eventually; does that make it not worth the effort? By that standard, the best venture capitalists waste about 90% of their efforts.
Yeah, your answer should be pinned at the top. Most discussions going on here are without a real understanding of what's actually happening.

I have a Sesame credit score. It's pretty low. The whole system seems incredibly creepy though, even without the misreported government political intrusion aspects. I basically have to let a private company know all the details of my education, work and personal life (plus they have my entire purchasing history on Taobao, which covers most aspects of my life), and then they'll give me a score. I totally understand the need for a credit score in the context of giving loans, but the threat is always that this score then gets applied to other arenas as a generalized trustworthiness rating.

If you trigger this fallback (e.g. someone is colliding all your hashes), your entire collection is probably stuffed into one bucket.

The Windows 10 Calculator is a Store app, and Server 2016 LTSB doesn't include Store apps. Therefore, Server 2016 LTSB doesn't have Calculator.

"Oh, did we say 'your data'? Because we meant 'our asses.'"
I'll got a bit further if I may, but its mostly a tip for the instructors:

Start from the basics. This makes such a tremendous difference I think, because we have these pre-conceived ideas about math, numbers, calculus, etc. (due to usually shitty high school education) that must be shattered and rebuilt from the ground up.

Here are the example notes that my undergrad (in fact, first college math class) professor used:

Lecture 2: Numbers
https://www.math.ualberta.ca/~xinweiyu/117-118.14-15/2014090...

Lecture 3: More Numbers and Rationals
https://www.math.ualberta.ca/~xinweiyu/117-118.14-15/2014090...

Lecture 4: Irrational Numbers
https://www.math.ualberta.ca/~xinweiyu/117-118.14-15/2014090...

As you see there is a very clear and natural progression from fundamental assumptions of mathematics to common day objects, with justifications.

From this you introduce the notions of infinity, again with historical developments (math didn't just come about in the last 50 years!)

Lecture 5: e
https://www.math.ualberta.ca/~xinweiyu/117-118.14-15/2014091...

And so on; By rebuilding your knowledge in this deliberate way it becomes easier to work with more difficult topics later on.

Well to name a few reasons ... seems infeasible/inaccurate to measure and attribute the various changes in the product to individual contributors or changes. (eg. what if multiple changes are occurring simultaneously, what about seasonality, what if it's just a random surge, etc.) Further, seems impossible to verify or trust metrics for the external developer. If the company is behaving unethically and misreporting/shortchanging, good luck suing them. Furthermore, from the company's perspective they're opening themselves up to massive legal risk by making this as a contract for the reason above - developer might try to sue them claiming gains which may or may not rightly be attributable to that developer's effort.

I think this is a situation where be a just ruler and exercise judgment in paying employees in proportion to their contribution, makes a lot more sense than trying to codify an agreement.
Simply having a credit card doesn't cost anything. You're choosing to live your life in a way that is contrary to what our society has determined is a positive financial profile. If you're trying to make some kind of point, or protest something, fine -- but then don't complain about being "punished."
> Worse still is a paper check. I have to deposit that in my checking account to spend it. Once it is in there, it immediately becomes indistinguishable from the cash used to pay the utilities. Here, I want to buy you three cans of tuna, 75 kWh of electricity, and 4 gallons of gasoline. Enjoy!

> At least with cash, I could theoretically put it in a special envelope that is exclusively for fun expenses.

Deposit check while simultaneously take out the same amount in cash and put it in your wallet / envelope / hidden pocket; problem solved. If you don't have enough cash on hand to do the "conversion", then maybe you should consider spending it on utilities and expenses.

> Also, cash-equivalent gifts are a great way to tell your friends and family "I value our relationship at exactly $x/year."

While I understand your sentiment, and culture background also plays into it, I wouldn't frame it that way. It is a gift: you're not entitled to it, and it is the giver's prerogative to choose what to give. At worst, you could fault the giver for not being thoughtful, but at least they thought enough to give you something when they could also give you nothing. Moreover, the value / expense of the gift is a poor indicator of the strength or "value" of my relationship with the giver IMO.

> But the worst gift of all is lottery scratch-off tickets.

Agreed. And in the (extremely) unlikely event that you actually win big, fighting over who "owns" the ticket would be inevitable...

Plenty of companies have success. There are tons of digital marketers killing it on there. The level of targeting you can achieve is absurd. It's zero sum game where you compete against other advertisers though.

Because of this it seems incredibly obvious to me that it'll almost certainly be unprofitable until you've done a lot of work to optimise your campaign (as you're competing with bids against people who have optimised their campaigns) and also probably be incredibly unprofitable if you're not a full time professional digital marketer specialising in facebook ads (because that's who you're most likely competing against for eyeballs).

Yet I see average punters throwing tiny budgets around and failing at facebook used as evidence that facebook advertising is garbage on a regular basis.

Amazon tries to trap people through control by visas, and they will go so far as to relocate people overseas to Seattle. They have a fucked up system where rank and file get the darwin treatment but management gets the rewards. They will pay bonuses around $250k, $500k, $1 million to senior managers, directors, and VPs respectively to abuse the shit out of employees. The "PIP someone who is trying to get away from their abusive manager" is their oldest trick in their book.

Something needs to be done to help people financially who are looking for a way out from the abuse.
Ask HN: How to transition from worker to manager?
I have been working for the same company for over 10 years now. I have moved up from a support role to developer role and now into a manager role. I'm having a hard time with the manager role transition as I enjoy getting my hands dirty and diving in to solve problems. I don't have enough time to dive in though because I am in too many meetings. I have some really great people working for me but I'm struggling with delegating work, knowing how much information to provide, how much to expect, etc. I consistantly have an internal battle with doing the work myself instead of taking the time to explain and ask someone else to do it. I also have a vast amount of knowledge about the company and I need to convey that somehow so others can do their job and not rely on me.

What advice do you have or resources would you recommend so I can succeed in this new role as developer turned manager?

Please note that I am getting older so I do want to move into a management role. I am just having trouble with the transition.
I doubt it will make much of a difference as Theranos does not have a reputation for bad engineering. Perhaps the best thing you can take from this is that you will not have to explain to potential employers why you are leaving/have recently left your current position.

Team Dynamics in Building High Performing Agile Cross Functional Teams
That link includes kids killed during murder-suicides, gang violence, and so on -- which is a pretty far cry from negligent parents -- and it is criminal negligence to leave a weapon unsecured, whether children are present or not.

The most accurate number I've found (compiled by the Associated Press) gives around 100 deaths per year from firearm negligence involving children.

That's 100 too many, but to put it in perspective, 70 children per year choke to death on small objects (like balloons or dice), and right around 700 per year drown in swimming pools.

The most important part to solving this problem is education.

There are far too many children that don't know that guns aren't toys, and that grow up never learning anything about gun safety, which isn't exactly the best way to encourage a culture of responsibility as adults.

We know that teaching teenagers about safe sex drastically lowers STD and unplanned pregnancy rates, and we should be doing the same thing with gun safety education.
Yes. Credit scores measure the extent to which you repay your debt. China is talking about measuring your loyalty to the state.
> there is this kind of attempt to make things go away by paying-off the victims, police and anyone else necessary

Am I wrong in feeling that there is nothing wrong in making things go away by paying the victims? (Not the police though.)

Especially with accidents that are from negligence without mens rea.

But do they, though? I'm thinking it's just a matter of actually reading the owner's manual.

For instance: there's a key hidden in the fob of my Nissan Leaf that is able to mechanically unlock the driver door, same as your 2006. To start the car, you place it against the "start" button. I'm assuming there's some inductive trickery going on.

Anyway, I'd be surprised if our cars (2006 and 2015) were the exception, rather than the rule.
When you are treated like a robot, as in the case of pervasive monitoring, then merit has little wait. Merit is about how you contribute over-all to a corporation and its functioning. This sort of management, individual management ignores that... as they are running a factory where you are a machine. Not a person. Machines gets monitored this way. Corporations would look at a department as a profit center or a loss center and leave the decision making of who is performing well or not to your manager. Here you are a machine at the beck and call of Bozo, or Bezos as the case might be.

> Their job is to act a lender of last resort, not to centrally plan the economy despite what you think

The historical purpose of an independent central bank is to provide credibility to the currency (and, by way of that, also to provide some credibility to debt, especially government debt, denominated in the currency) by centrally planning monetary policy, and doing so at armsome length from the fiscal policy of the government.

The job of the Federal Reserve, specifically, as laid out in law expressly includes managing monetary policy with specific prioroties regarding productivity, employment, and inflation -- that is, within certain parameters management of the economy via monetary policy.

So, factually, you are wrong, no matter whatn ideologically, you think their job should be.

> What's implied here then is a gross misunderstanding of what money actually is: a means of instrumentation and measurement.

Money is a number of things, but while it's something of a very loose proxy measure for somethings, this is, historically, neither the primary intended purpose, nor the primary practical function of money.

> When supply of money in relation to other "things" is constantly and artificially manipulated, it becomes near impossible for the prices of goods and services to reflect actual information about fundamentals, comparative advantages, etc.

Insofar as this is true at all, it's just as true if the changes are due to forces other than central planning. And no matter what you use as money, and how you manage it, it's supply in relation to other goods and services is going to change.
