I see where you're coming from -- its not a good thing to give excuses to people that hinder their growth. But...

Theres this notion of a "highly sensitive person". I hate describing a person as sensitive because it kind of implies a person that watches romantic comedies all day, but, if you take "sensitive" as a person with hightened awareness of subtle cues, theres a plausible basis to think that there are people that just are way more sensitive. Imagine if every sound you heard was twice as loud as what everyone else heard. On the one hand, you would have super hearing, but on the other hand, you would probably hate loud concerts.I'm not saying introverts ear better, but maybe they pick up on things you dont, and maybe every element costs a little bit more energy.

So like, yeah, some people use introversion as an excuse not to grow, but some other people pick up on 5x more detail than their more normal compatriots and find themselves thusly exhausted a lot quicker.

I'm kind of in your boat where I see facebook acquaintances sharing articles about introversion or aspergers and im like "maybe you just need some social skills" but I dont think the condition doesnt exist.
All taxes have an effect on domestic parties, even if they apply to tourists, so those domestic parties will be the ones fighting against. I think national hotel chains are capable of advocating their interest, as is AirBnB.

I don't think I have ever seen an example of someone imposing a tax "just because they can". Indeed, there are very real limits, at all levels of government, to the power to levy any tax. While this is a very complicated area of law with a lot of history of debate and change, the basic premise, is that taxes have to be tied to a reasonable social interest (general welfare), can not be arbitrary or capricious or designed to harm a specific party etc. If your state or local community doesn't limit taxing authority, then be part of the change you want and pursue a limit.
Out of curiosity, what are these other "rich nations" you are referring to? Always open to new places to look at besides the U.S.

For an introverted it's really draining to always see the same pattern in threads about introversion: that it's mixed with shyness and social anxiety, and that all three are considered to be overcomable in the same way.

SEEKING WORK - Remote, Willing to Travel [US/EU]

Need an Android app? Already have an awesome iOS app? I can help.

I'll take your iOS app and prepare everything you need to port it to Android in just a few short weeks, then handle development from the first line of code to first app download—or assist you and your team as you build everything yourselves.

Send me an email at james@pembroke.studio and we can begin porting your iOS app to Android ASAP. I only take on 4 projects per month, and my next available engagement starts Monday, January 9th.

Not ready to get started, but still have some questions about porting to Android? Schedule a call with me here: https://calendly.com/pembroke/phone/

I can also train your existing developers to build modern, fast, and highly testable Android apps.

Germany != Switzerland. There are lots of cultural similarities, but also vast differences. I wouldn't recommend making that statement in a group of Swiss and German people.

(For the record I'm Swiss, but I think most Germans would agree with me on this.)

BTW coming here with children isn't too much of a problem. You don't necessarily have to put them in Swiss schools, there are also international schools where the curriculum is oriented towards expats (SATs etc) and the language is English.

No offense, but this person has no idea what they are talking about. Google published a paper that explains exactly what they are doing and provides metrics as well [1,2].

It's true that neural networks can not be easily applied to natural languages, but there are less obvious ways of applying them (namely Embeddings, LSTMs, Attention) and provided you have enough data and computational resources they give so much better results than any other method that it doesn't even help anymore to combine them.

EDIT: I also don't want to give the impression that Deep Learning can solve every NLP problem. We are still far away from passing the Turing test. It's true as well in my opinion that Google's Machine Translation is oversold. It's best at what it's trained and evaluated for: translating individual sentences from news sources.

EDIT 2: There are some tasks where traditional methods can work better, e.g. text classification on long documents. That's mainly because deep learning methods are too expensive computationally.
It's also the purpose of NATO. NATO was created not only to provide defense during the cold war but also to prevent conflict between European countries and ensure US military dominance.

There is not and never was a plan for the US not to be dominant.
Ask HN: Can you recommend some good MUD games?
Recently I got really curious about MUD(multi-user-dungeon) games, which are text adventures, like Zork, but are played by many users over the internet.

I think this is very fascinating, and I'm surprised that I wasn't aware of these before, so I thought it would be awesome to see some HN discussion about them.
ActiveVideo, web-based application platform for TV applications | Netherlands | Product owner, C++/Java developers | full-time, onsite in Hilversum

At the Hilversum office of ActiveVideo (which has HQ in San Jose and another office in LA), we're looking for a product owner for my team, as well as C++ or Java developers for our end-to-end development teams. We're a deeply technical bunch, working on a platform to deliver TV UI/UX through a web application development platform in a way that makes it easy to deliver apps to set-top boxes and smart TVs (as well as any other devices, really), with a very thin client layer. Our goal is to obviate "fat" set-top boxes, which are expensive and just get out of date quickly, and move their capabilities into the software cloud. Software Defined Television, if you're into this buzzword thing. ;)

For my team, I'm especially looking for a strong product owner. You will work with our end-to-end development teams comprising Java and C++ developers to deliver business value to our global customer base and drive our product innovation. You'll need a good understanding of our customer's needs and must be able to explain their use cases to the engineering teams. You will also have to understand the nuances of our product's feature set and can identify gaps between the current product and our customers' feature requests.

Some requirements:
- Communicate with Product Management, customers and engineers at their own level
- Connect our long-term product vision to implementation-ready use cases
- Balance business value and engineering stewardship
- Experience in agile development, preferably as a product owner
- Excellent verbal and written English
- You will thrive in a small company environment

Apart from the product owner role, we're also currently looking for strong C++ or Java software engineers. Note, especially for Java folks: we're not looking for web programming or CRUD apps, but for strong distributed systems thinking. We maintain our own web browser engine (WebKit fork) and we have very deep in-house video and codecs knowledge.

We have a highly informal organization and pretty flat structure. This enables our employees to be flexible and to research their ideas. And of course we offer a competitive package.

Our hiring process is generally a quick online coding test, then a phone/Skype call, then two or three face-to-face interviews on-site. Can do VISA if necessary -- we're a diverse team already, with a bunch of Dutchies, plenty of Eastern Europeans, some NZ/Aussies and Indians.

If you're interested, please email me: d.ochtman at activevideo dot com.

I was wondering if that was a piece of jargon I didn't recognize or a very unfortunate typo...
Thanks for the explanation of your thinking there. FWIW, I don't think (contra the other posters) that it's that much of a stretch (of standard terminology) to call this "Zero knowledge" -- you are, after all, preventing information from flowing in a certain direction, just like in the ZK proofs.

With that said, what about "opaque" instead of "obscured" and "host" or "cloud" instead of "provider"?

Cloud-Obscured Cloud Storage (okay, bad acronym)

UBI is a well intentioned but misdirected goal. Ask for minimum social infrastructure. Not money. Minimum social infrastructure that involves food, education and medicine safety to a good degree (without any hint of lavishness). We achieve that, we will solve arising problem meaningfully in my opinion.
Why should they have a "unified front" in an irrelevant peripheral war?

Because the war definitely created issues between states in the EU at the time, between those states part of the coalition of the willing and those states that were not.

Because the "Russian federation" is a viable antagonist for EU?

I don't know why you're scare quoting "Russian federation" - that is the official name of the Russian state.

An economic union and monetary union that can't secure its on borders or have a unified foreign policy is just completely putting the cart before the horse.

As someone that went (slowly) vegan for primarily "green reasons", I've never begrudged others that eat meat (this has always been about my personal carbon footprint, even if it is a drop in the overall bucket) and I've always been willing to make exceptions as I see necessary. (I've never been the strictest vegan in the world.) Especially in situations where I knew exactly where the meat/dairy/eggs were sourced (ie, the farm of a friend of a friend; a "slow food" event; a trustworthy "farm to table" restaurant), I'd make exceptions to eat meat on occasion. I've know not every person feels the same way, but I've certainly seen it respectful to continue to realize as someone that went vegan for primarily green reasons that the problem is not meat, but how we grow/farm/manage/slaughter that meat. My goal has never been to demonize meat, simply to worry about the means to which our civilization is cultivating so much of it.
I almost forgot, if you work in the public sector, you also get 2 days of per child under 7 years, for each parent. You can also negotiate to take part of your maternity leave at a later date, some of our friends are now on a 3 month vacation in Australia, using the maternity leave and savings for funding. ( this needs to be negotiated with employer, but its not unusual)
I believe your explanation but it still strikes me as the wrong thing to do.
Your answer seems awfully ignorant (that's often what people mean by elitist). "Internet-connected" and "privacy intrusion" aren't qualified terms so I can only assume you just like to have a punching post. Not uncommon since ASP is effectively gone. It might be of some value to notice your answer wasn't related to the question.
The EU leadership is heavily pro-big-copyright at almost all levels, with all the negative connotations that comes with. Oettinger has been one of the worst, and these kinds of proposals aren't exactly surprising coming from him.

That said, the details always matter, and it's also worth remembering that the critic here is a vocal Pirate Party MEP who is obviously not neutral on these issues herself.

Not all of the points challenged here are entirely unreasonable. For example, I've never quite understood how a site like Pinterest isn't flagrantly violating existing copyright laws, never mind any new ones lobbyists might be asking for.

Our core platform utilizes phone sensors and phone data to predict the state of an individual’s recovery in real-time, enabling the right care to be delivered proactively the moment it is needed. Imagine if you could predict risk factors that lead to regressive behavior, such as when someone is angry; when they are experiencing a craving; when they are not sleeping well; or when they are falling off their continuing care plan. Now imagine doing all of this without self-reported data.

We are building apps on both Android and iOS, a customer-facing web application, a robust web services API, machine learning-driven analytics, and large-scale data processing. Our tech stack includes NodeJS and MongoDB on the backend, Backbone on the frontend, React Native, Swift and Java for mobile, and Python 3 for machine learning.
