Ruhlman's "Ratio" is a good approach to this

My peeve with the book is that he (IMHO correctly) tells the reader to use weights not volumes for dry ingredients, then in the entire rest of the book seems to promote/use volume measures.

>>Digital records are exponentially more complex to maintain in the long term. You need to deal with formats being unreadable, turnover of media, etc.

No they aren't. There are many open, non-proprietary formats that have existed for many years and will continue to exist for decades. TIFF is a great example.

In contrast, paper records cost a ton of money to store (they take up physical storage space, which means paying rent and/or opportunity cost) and they are also very easily destroyed in accidents such as fires or earthquakes. Oh, you want to create backups? Good fucking luck making copies of all the crumbling pieces of city legislation from 1960s.

That's encouraging -- I had cynically assumed it was just a naive PR play -- but have they screwed over other Google projects by publishing 0-days at the end of their arbitrary time window? For example, do they publish zero-days on widely-deployed versions of Android?

I like XKCD's take on it: https://xkcd.com/593/
Three capitalist pigs were sitting in a jail cell in glorious Soviet Russia. They were discussing their plight, and how they might be better re-educated for the benefit of the proletariat, when they got onto the topic of their incarceration.

The first says, "I sold my goods for more than my competitors, and was found guilty of price gouging "

The second says, "Well, I sold mine for less, and was accused of dumping."

To which the last responded, "And I sold mine for the same as everyone else, and I sit here for collusion!"
If you have a clear bug and you nail it that's a great feeling. But what's annoying for me is when you have a simple task of doing X, but you then realize that you need to replace Y for this, but A replacement doesn't work with B part and so on.. and when it's all done, few days later, all you've done is you just finished that simple 1 hour task.
While I see your point, I think it was pretty clear what the OP meant.

However that doesn't take into account correlated sampling error. If you randomly sample college social science majors at a single school, you could easily get results like that, even if the rest of the population is actually split on the matter.
Ask HN: How effective is it to spam people who register new domains?
Every time I register a new domain I get a swarm of phone calls, spam emails, and unsolicited texts.

Does anyone know how effective this is?

I don't have any intentions of doing it, but it makes me wonder at times. On the other hand, without all of this spam services like whois privacy would be worth a lot less, so I could easily see it being worth a registrars time to fund some of the spam.

I switched to Lyft because of this.
I agree as well.

I was at Google for a little over 2 years, and it was like a vacation after the small company I was at previously. I went from feeling like the future of the company depended on how fast I could fix a customer's bug or add a new feature to being a cog in a machine. Eg, 80hrs/week to about 45, and the ability to not obsess about my work email while on vacation (thereby actually making it a vacation).

I was contributor to the "ghost town" effect. I would come in around 6am and leave around 3pm to be able to pick my son up from school and spend more time with him.
This is awesome. Surprised it's not on the 1st page.
I am aware of the strategy behind Uber's move. My comment above is "count me out".

I doubt they'll lose even 1% of their installed userbase over this change.

Yeah, after being a "dozen rides a week" Uber user for the last year, I switched to Lyft. There is just no reason for this.
It will happen whether you build your website to be accessible there or not. They already cloned all the major sites used in the US and as soon as the Chinese version was off the ground the government blocked out all the foreign competitors.
I always wonder how, with all the automation and efficiency gains in construction, with how much cheaper (inflation adjusted) materials are now, that the cost to build Skyscrapers per square foot (irrespective of land) has more than double inflation since the 1930s.

Maybe this is it?

And speaking of, is there any way software could automate this regulation? Seems like it could save a ton of money if so.
Early digital cameras were worse in almost every way, picture resolution, noise, color. The only thing they had going for them was that you could quickly look at the pictures on a computer screen and didn't need to buy film rolls. It took a while until digital was somewhat comparable with analog film for professional use. Quite similar to the electric car situation now actually.
I can see them from my window! They are great. There is also an interesting public artwork their made by the artist/architect Vito Acconci.
Sure. The author framed it in a way where-- with SO as an example, I was waiting for something like:

The community is great for beginners who take the time to read the documentation and try solutions. 3D printing is complex and requires putting in the time and the community is happy to help those willing to learn. <joke>Beginners who are actually intermediate or experts with 1 or more CS/EE degrees are always welcome</joke>
Why do we accept this intrusion into our lives?
The Product Manager's bonus probably depends on timely release of new features.
I'm not even sure a manager here can fire you by his own choice, for what it's worth. The company invests a ton in its engineers; a failed investment is a big waste. Also, it's the manager's job to make his reports more productive, so that kind of failure reflects on him too.
Yikes. Sounds like a painful way to learn things though.
Northern Quebec: say Rouyn-Noranda. Cold, remote and inexpensive and not a long bus ride to Montreal for adventures.
probably who i vote for, where i put my money/investments, and whether or not i sold my company 2 years ago. in the next 2 years, it's going to 100% determine where i live.

again, if anyone thinks none of this matters, i am just going to say, okay, great, but it matters to me.
You're probably right, but many telecoms have already deployed ipv6 without a bunch of layers of networking hell, and I'm hopeful that they'll just junk all the crazy ipv4 stuff without replicating it in ipv6. It'll be cheaper for them and nobody will notice the difference.
"While in use" is exactly what they used to do. It allowed the driver to see my location as long as I left the app open. Now the uber app is unreasonable. It demands permission to stalk me at any time, else I use a hobbled version of the app.
But that doesn't work unless you do everything with public permissions. Seriously try it. Make a container that you share a volume with. Do something in that container on some data and see who owns it according to your computer.

The use case I have above is a real one. Somehow try to share your .ssh folder with a utility container sometime.

User namespaces somewhat help. But fall flat for the case of "still being you" on a container.

It can be comical even for the intended two containers choice. Unless both use the same uid:gid to write files, one container will not be able to read the other containers data.
Try reading a 50 year old book vs reading a 50 year old reel of magnetic data tape.
It's already insane that you got an internship (at Google too!) in your first year of college, but you seem to have done extremely well there too.

Whenever I'm going to say something bad about anything more important than toilet paper I create a throwaway.

Even if the posts give you karma (which my throwaways are pretty universally positive karma) it isn't worth the downvote brigades every time the haters see you and occasional death threats.

throwaway accounts very much tie in with the concept of free speech and the open internet. If I don't want my personal safety tied to a few paragraphs of ranting there shouldn't be an issue with that. I should be able to speak my mind without fear of recourse.

Nobody is more interested in "internet karma" than the Chinese govt at the moment. Haven't you heard of the "online credit score" they're implementing? Everything you say and do online is tied to your real identity and has wide ranging effects on your well being. Needless to say there's some suggestions that this may affect free speech
The big problem with Rods of God isn't cost. We just spent $10bn on a carrier, after all. The real problem is it's destabilizing - potential adversaries have to consider the very short time frame of that kind of attack and adjust their defensive posture accordingly, i.e. shoot-on-warning.
yeah I always make it obvious, no point in trying to pretend you're some guru.
I ranted about this last weekend. No app, positively no app, gets "always" access to my location info. I don't care what their "privacy policy" says.

I'm annoyed Apple even allows this. It shouldn't even be an option.

Clearly iOS needs more fine tuned permissions. I can share my location with a friend for an hour. I'd Uber wants 5 minutes worth then they should be granted 5 minutes worth. Not infinite and unlimited.

Uber used to work just fine with "while running" permission. They're removal of that is extremely user hostile. I deleted the app and will use Lyft instead. I suggest everyone do the same.

Waze also made a similar change. Waze also got deleted. We must not accept this behavior.
Uber is really a scummy company. And given their track record with absuing user data, I don't trust them at all with this new expansive data collection effort. Let's review the company shall we?

The CEO, Travis Kalanick, has used God View to monitor people for entertainment.[0] The head of their NYC office also go into hot water over using God View inappropriately[1]. At other companies, these would be fireable offenses. No second chances. Deactivate the counts. Escort them to the door. Mail them their stuff. At Uber, it's totally cool brah.

There's the whole "you're not our employee, but we pay you, and tell you where to go, and how to act."

They explicitly target low income people to be their totally-not-employees, through direct mail, and their "urban" "Get your side hustle on!" commercials.

Their auto financing product is predatory.[2] It explicitly targets people bad credit to lease a car they can't pay for unless they're constantly totally-not-employed-with Uber. The interest rates are usury levels of 22.75% APR.

Then of course there's the whole, "Fuck the law!" aspect of the company.

Cocoa butter gives a distinct mouthfeel because it has a sharply-defined melting point. If you want that mouthfeel, you need cocoa butter.

Lindt might not want that mouthfeel. That is a legit choice, not just to be cheap.

Other legit choices include suet, ghee, lard, and even corn oil. It all depends on the mouthfeel you want. Skipping the oil/fat entirely is also an option; wilder choices for holding candy together include: pectin, agar, egg white...
Oh but there are!

While their explanation is reasonable, I have little reason to trust a company that settled an investigation specifically about location tracking abuse.

I've pretty much dropped their app and switched to their mobile site, which is bound to my browser's location settings. Additionally I'll only use them if they're significantly cheaper than lyft from now on.
Devil's advocate:

I had an Uber driver drop me off in a sketchy alley three blocks from the location I specified, but because he barely spoke a lick of English I had trouble communicating that it wasn't my stop.
It's mostly about keeping the ones you already have.

Odd? You ain't seen nothin' yet.

Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Obama showed far less of an authoritarian streak than either Trump or Clinton (or Bush 43), but he ended up embracing drone strikes and NSLs once he saw their convenience. I feared how Clinton might use this power, and I can't even imagine what Trump will do.

Not really, it lets programmers meet with founders and investors with bootcamp and hackathons. The code created may not be used, but the networking and experience are shared.

For me, personally Product Hunt was cool until they changed their design and created many categories.
It was same as with Steam Greenlight - when it allowed only best games to pass, it was cool. Now due to some changes and adjustments - not so much.

From one of my sites to visit daily they dropped to a group of sites I visit once every 2-3 weeks.

The decisions made few months ago were terrible. Take a product that works, adjust it to widen the public but make the experience more shallow - typical for so many startups lately. Chase for the money and trying to rush things and bump metrics is terrible lately in startups/products I liked.

TerraPower | terrapower.com | Nuclear Computer Scientist | Seattle (Bellevue) | ONSITE

TerraPower is developing 4th-generation nuclear reactors to provide clean, dependable, world-scale energy. To quickly iterate on the design of these reactors, we run software simulations of them on big computers. We have created a large reactor analysis framework (almost all in Python) that performs physics calculations and automates/couples (generally older) FORTRAN physics codes to compute neutron densities, power distributions, temperatures, pressures, chemistry, in-pin and ex-pin fuel mechanical motion, transient performance, economics, etc. and do multiobjective optimization on these.

The role we're looking for will focus on the framework and related systems, seeking to improve the ease, breadth, rigor, speed, and quality of our nuclear innovation, design, and analysis. Nuclear/physics/applied math experience is a major plus.

Process: Phone interview can lead to a one-day, ~6-hour gauntlet of in-person interviews.

Forming a union and joining the labor movement would be a start. Oh sure everybody hates unions, but there's not a progressive country in the world without a strong labor movement. Without labor you're left with narrow-minded plutocrats and unreliable technocrats to run everything.
Because there are many other factors in choosing a hosting provider (price, performance, features, security, scalability, etc). It seems a bit weird that all of these would be less important to someone than IPv6. Though I guess I can imagine that for some businesses it could be hugely important. Was just wondering what OPs business was that it became an overriding priority.
Great to see that Solaris still generates as much interest at this. Frankly, given how well the OS works, and how far ahead Oracle has taken the SPARC hardware, I can't see them just chucking it all away. The M7 and S7's are freaking awesome.

That, and the whole "Larry like's Larrys stuff more than anyone else's" thing...

@brendangregg: I'll bet ya $10 that neither Solaris nor SPARC are going away any time soon. :)
How many stars did you give him?
You don't know until someone investigates, obviously. But if you have to choose between an app that definitely does that and an app that might do it, it makes sense to use the one that might in the meantime.

There's an opportunity for Lyft to be "Uber, but for not scummy business practises" here, but I suppose most users don't really care. Austin would have been a good test of that, but Lyft withdrew along with Uber.
It's not, really - but the techniques used in its nucleosynthesis probably are.

Incidentally, if the compound itself does in the end turn out to be useful, it'll be for the same reason - it'd likely be used as some intermediate in a wider-scope reaction. As is the case for many, many (almost all, realistically) otherwise-"useless" chemicals.
So compilation is idempotent? That's pithy, I like it.
Not really. "Only works at [large] scale" means that you cannot be profitable and be a small business.

As over 70% of business transactions in the US are done by small businesses, then most businesses can profitably exist at a small scale.

When something is only profitable at large scale, typically what's done in the western-style economic nations is to (a) make a public company like the US Post Office (b) tightly regulate the market so the inevitable large actors has to serve the public good as is done for insurance currently or (c) hand out monopolies at the local level as is done for telecom companies.
IMHO you're on the right track. Just try to get some fun while you're in the university because you ain't gonna find that environment (parties, girls, friends, etc.) elsewhere. Even if you do find something similar, sure as hell won't be the same.

Validating State Machines
I think what makes this regulation problematic is that it's not exclusively the type of regulation where you read the regulation, understand it and now you are good to go. Instead it's largely the type of regulation where you need to write an application/proposal, send it to done government office, call in favors to get it processed in a somewhat timely fashion, argue about interpretation of regulation, update your plans, wait months, have no proper recorded, etc. I think that type of regulation is very hard to automate, unpredictable, very expensive and largely what gives regulations in general a bad rep.
As you mention though, Malheur vs Standing Rock is an apples to oranges comparison. The Bundy's took over a very remote ranger station that no one honestly cared about. The Standing Rock occupiers were actually in the way of something.

I'm not saying it's nefarious but mods quite often push a story up on the front page with only few votes. I've witnessed it about a dozen times. And given that it happens, they definitely want some stories to be seen. By the definition, that is an agenda -- nefarious or not.
I agree, but sometimes 'metro area' is a bizarre distinction.

NYC's Metropolitan Division includes Ocean County (Jersey shore) but not Essex County (which includes Newark and all of the PATH trains).

The Metropolitan Statistical Area includes Pike County (not accessible by commuter rail from NYC) but not New Haven or Fairfield (which are).

I really wish that both Android and iOS had an option to outright prevent an app from doing anything in the background. No sensors, no location, no push notifications, no network access, no CPU time, URL protocols, no nothing. If I don't click the little app icon, the app shouldn't run, full stop.

"The website “https://help.uber.com” would like to use your current location."
It's hard to prove falses like that, but Lyft doesn't appear to have such verbiage in their TOS.

I'd hate to be proven wrong about that, but grateful if I was.
How about people with both an electric car and solar panels? How about people who pay for carbon offsets and own an electric car? Or people who voted for renewables minimums and own an electric car?

I'm also unsure what you mean by "pressure the car makers out of economic equilibrium"? Are you referring to the economic equilibrium with negative externalities paid for? California started down the path of encouraging electric cars because of smog, which has a large negative effect on LA and the SF Bay area.
Honey also contains a small amount of hydrogen peroxide.
The problem is that there is no user-facing setting that can say, 5 minutes only. So going from 5 to 10 to always becomes a decision that can be taken without informing the user at all.
