I'm an engineer at Gladly and I'm enjoying it a lot! Feel free to email me with questions (alice@gladly.com), or apply directly at https://www.gladly.com/careers/
Maybe a better metaphor would be bodily responses to ailments. We usually think of immune systems as white cell warriors but the body has several ways to fight off disease.

Fevers are often created by the body to "burn" the offending pathogen from functioning properly and infecting further. Diarrhea is an attempt to purge the body of the disease from the areas it thrives in most.

So in this case, roll your own crypto and use known strong crypto. Don't rely on either on their own.

Example: use end-to-end encryption apps like Signal, but if necessary, communicate in coded language that only the person on the other end would understand.
That sounds rather unlikely. What would prevent the result of dividing revenue by hours worked from falling between 8 and perhaps 14? In quantum physics there's lots of hand waving, some of it true, about inaccessible states and distinct energy levels and such, but no explanation how that could apply to revenue numbers or timeclock numbers or the division operator or some mysterious combination.

There might be a very local substitute effect where in a small enough area part of a large enough system, almost any arbitrary value can be applied and it'll be filled, as long as its a small enough area and a large enough system. Along the lines of 10000000 monkeys on typewriters might not produce Shakespeare anytime soon but you can expect the occasional short English language word in that stream fairly often.

HN is full of developers. It makes sense that developer-oriented products receive constructive feedback while posts for products in completely unrelated fields don't.

Talking about farming on a developer website is like demoing salon tools to a group of plumbers. You may get opinions, but they probably won't be the most informed or helpful.
> Even worse, however, is the continued conduct of open hostilities in Iraq and Syria against the Islamic State despite the refusal of Congress to approve the military campaign. No one questions that the Constitution applies here; but because the two branches are unable to agree on the scope of American intervention, this most crucial of constitutional guarantees—the power of Congress to authorize military action—has gone by the board.

I always felt the story here was more institutional, and not so much about Obama himself the man.

If Congress is fractured and ineffectual, that creates a power vacuum. And another branch of government will step into that power vacuum, every single time.

We're supposed to be set up with a systems of checks and balances, and when those don't work, the system doesn't work. I don't mean to blame Congress for what Obama did, but they didn't really meaningfully resist these things that he did. Your guess as to whether that's because they didn't want to, or they weren't able. They did keep signing the checks, so there's that.

I keep a big list of links to high-quality tutorials on React and related topics ([0]). As part of that list, I have a couple categories that point to info on learning Javascript ([1]), using the new Javascript ES6+ features and syntax ([2]), and understanding what the many modern dev tools do and how they fit together ([3]). That last category also has links to some "suggested learning approach"-type pages.

Hopefully these help!

You can't compare value-add manufacturing to agriculture because former is demand-driven while the latter is supply-driven. If a mill has a customer, its ability to make money depends on expertise and equipment but a farmer can only sell what nature allows them to grow. Modern agriculture is a balancing act between the forces of nature and financing so if a farm's output one year is bad enough they are almost certainly doomed to bankruptcy within a few years unless they have a miraculous turnaround. The vast majority of farms take on debt every year for fertilizer, seasonal labor, maintenance, etc and if they have a bad year, the extra debt makes it much harder to make a profit the next year when they again take on even more debt for the growing season.

The rise of industrial farming can be attributed more to transportation than automation because it allowed corporations to form that could finance hundreds or thousands of farms across a region or continent. A disease or drought impacting the yield in one area no longer meant that those farms were doomed to bankruptcy because the profits from successful farms paid for natural volatility. In this sense, agricultural conglomerates are essentially insurance companies.

Automation and other technology would have to help farmers deal with the financially ruinous harvests to really help local farming become competitive.
no, it's filled to the brim with 100% bullshit. taking the VC game to the next level.
The existing law isn't the underlying source of the complexity. It's that people want the complexity. They want killing to be against the law, but not if it was self defense, or you were under duress, or you couldn't reasonably know that your actions would kill someone etc.

You can easily pass a law that says all killing is illegal, but that isn't good enough. You either have to consider every possible thing that could happen in the universe and encode what should happen in each case into the law, which is clearly infeasible, or there will be things that can happen which you haven't considered ahead of time, and then you still have to specify something.

If what you specify is that unanticipated acts are illegal then everyone will be in prison. But if they aren't then it will be easy to find a provable loophole to murder. Neither of those is acceptable.

That's why we have judges. To address that. But that answer is still terrible because then you don't know what the law is until you're already in court. It's just less terrible than either putting everyone in prison or letting anyone get away with murder.

Which means the goal is to minimize the number of situations where that needs to happen, without causing the well-specified outcomes to be unrighteous.

The functionality of SQL is great but I really wish it would like more look like other programming languages. I wonder how SQL would look like if someone would design it now.

It also should integrate easier with other languages. Using SQL from C# or C++ is a real pain with tons of casts and string manipulation. Better debugging would also be nice.

Agreed. People usually aren't aware that the 19th century was a sprawling graveyard of industrial accidents and train derailments, often because the regulations introduced as a result of these tragedies have turned them into a distant memory for an older generation and a "grandpa story" as far as young-uns are concerned.

Yes, this annoyed me. Additionally, its not "traffic" that was reduced, it was the total size of the taxi fleet. While this would have a positive effect on overall "traffic" we can't tell what that might be from the article.
I must mention ChatScript (https://github.com/bwilcox-1234/ChatScript). ChatScript is a programming language that allows you to create bot conversations in text files. You divide your conversations into topics and typically have one file per topic. The system makes good use of Wordnet, and allows rules based on POS tags and Wordnet concepts.

> Those 2013 chips cannot properly drive a 4k display.

Which honestly seems pretty fair. 4K wasn't mainstream in 2013, you needed to spend a lot of money to buy a 4K display or projector. [0]

I wouldn't say that most people purchasing a Mac Mini are planning to use a 4K display with it, considering its target market is people who want to buy a Mac (without an integrated display) but don't want to shell out for a Mac Pro.

The Mac Pro not supporting 4K is a problem, one that has been brought up by many other people as an example of how Apple is ignoring the Pro market segment.

I personally find the focus on diet to be unproductive. When I'm exercising well (meaning not too much, but e.g. enough to peg my Apple Watch), I simply tend to eat healthier. When I'm not, I tend to eat less healthy.

It's not just about habit ... my taste fluctuates with how healthy I have permitted myself to be (movement, breathing and strenuous exercise). For example, salad tastes better / cookies don't taste as good.
Rust can already take advantage of the C ecosystem quite easily. Rust/C++ usability is a major goal for 2017. I'm hoping that by year end you can have the best of both worlds. The advantages of Rust for new code and the mountain of code that exists for C and for C++.

You are incorrect. Brooklyn and Queens have subway networks that are each larger than the next largest subway networks in the US. Brooklyn has a slightly better network than Queens, but both are fantastic. Eastern Queens (after the end of the 7 train) indeed is a transit desert, but still has many commuter rail stations.

There's a station central-eastern Brooklyn called "Broadway Junction" that has as many connections as the largest transfer station in DC.
IMO, less congestion makes for roads that are less terrifying for bicyclists.
Why would that be the case? Ads are handled differently than content. Paid posts I'm sure have their own process independent of content. That's what CMS does. It's also clearly marked Paid Post, and it's styling is distinct from other NYT content. [edit to add: Indeed, given the size of the NYT, adherence to a well-defined process is a necessity. The likelihood that a paid post was mistakenly displayed as content would arguably be much less.]

The subdomain isn't the point, however. I was clarifying a misunderstanding in the thread.

If you're aware of paid content in the NYT that isn't marked Paid Post or something similar, please let me know.

There are not obese people who do not eat too much. They simply do not exist. Then the question becomes: why do they eat too much? Yes, you are right, it's a complex answer involving a ton of things. But my point in framing it as a food addiction is that the issue here is not that there is some kind of underlying metabolic damage or difference that accounts for obesity, unless that damage/difference somehow contributes to increasing the desire to eat more.

If we could somehow get them to simply eat less, the condition would go away. There are arguments to be made about the mind body connection, and I think they are real, but the issues here are not that obese people are eating the same amount of food as non-obese people and that inflammation is causing some of that energy to be stored as fat. It's ridiculous and misleading for people who are genuinely trying to change their lives to suggest that small effects like this are the cause.

Also:

> No, if you are eating within caloric balance, the fat will not be burned for energy.

Fat is constantly being stored and burned as energy even within a caloric balance. You cannot store fat longterm without at some point eating at a caloric surplus.
I moved from Philadelphia to the Portland, ME area a few years back. My wife was relocating to work for an aerospace startup and I found a job working for an ed-tech startup. So my initial motivation to move was really for her. Aerospace is a very different field, people tend to move to where the jobs are, and the jobs tend not to be in big cities.

We ended up leaving Portland and returning to Philadelphia because both of the startups we were working for eventually ran out of capital and had leadership issues.

Why didn't we stay?

Well, we're both engineers and we both want to continue doing that for a while. There really weren't very good MechE jobs for women in Maine. So, that was a big part of it.

But we aren't entirely happy with big city life, either. Here's what we are looking for at the smaller towns we are evaluating:

1. Healthy, diverse economy. This is hard for a lot of small towns as they tend to be dominated by a single firm, institution or industry. It helps to be "on the border" or in-between a few things.

2. University or College. Having an institution of higher education nearby generally means you have access to cultural institutions (performing arts, galleries, lectures, libraries...).

3. Decent internet access. If you are going to work remote (and you're going to work remote in order to maximize your income) then you want decent internet access. A lot of smaller towns are now getting FTTH service at better prices than we are getting here in Philadelphia (home of the Comshaft). We've seen in this in Norther MN and WI, especially.

4. Within 2 or 3 hours (at minimum) of a decent sized airport. You will likely need to travel for work. Smaller, local airports are expensive and prone to cancellations.

5. Whatever other personal things you are looking for...
I am not who you were asking, but I exclusively use pen and paper during meetings. I try to keep my laptop closed and transcribe action items to a personal trello board after the meeting is done.

The trello part is more recent, but I have notebooks going back to my first internship in 2012(which I know isn't that long for most here). It's pretty interesting to see old notes I took and the problems I had at the time.
Lots of talk about retraining in these comments. All the retraining in the world isn't going to help in a society where the work is not actually needed to produce the goods we consume.

We need to stop valuing people by what they do and start providing for people regardless of what they do. And you can do this secure in the knowledge that you do it out of pure self interest because if you don't an underclass will come into being on a scale not seen since feudal time and the people in it will have little to lose by being disruptive and violently rebellious.
Thanks! I thought my mind played tricks on me, wondering if I hadn't read this about a man before.
i agree that sexism needs to be eradicated everywhere, and i don't honestly believe shuffling terminology is a very significant move, but to be fair the word nurse is a gendered one: besides meaning to care for someone, it also refers to the same general concept in a more specific circumstance, that is, breastfeeding.
Just challenge the promoter to rewrite a c++ base program in their new favorite method, paradigm.

Does it indicate over-supply? Maybe, but it's probably a bit more complicated than that. There is a very large supply of self-proclaimed Python programmers. (There's no official accreditation of this, of course, so we can only go by self-proclamation.) But this is unlike, say, raw materials supply for building a bridge. A lot---and by "a lot", I mean enough to be noticed when hiring---of the "Python programmer supply" is under-skilled. So, in reality, and limited to my own experience, the supply of skilled, knowledgeable Python programmers is much less than that of the total supply, so I'm not sure I'd label it as "over-supply".

With that said, though, and especially with huge companies like Google using Python as one of their main languages, the supply of qualified Python programmers is no doubt larger than that of Lisp. But, it's a fallacy to believe that the supply of qualified programmers correlates inversely to the time spent searching for them. It's sometimes easier to find needles that standout in the haystack.

As for software jobs in the domain of math/physics/etc., they're out there, but just harder to seek out. The world hasn't run out of hard science problems to solve, and many companies would go to great lengths to hire brilliant individuals who have both scientific acumen and programming skills.

The 3D TV comparison is completely tired at this point. VR is a new form of HCI, not a questionably improved display technology. Besides that point, if you're only looking at VR as "games" you're missing the boat entirely.

Yea, there are lots of studies actually looking at the effect of various foods have on fat burning and obesity. There is definitely more at play than simply calories in calories out. Yes, if you want to lose weight, you need to have a calorie deficit, but certain foods promote fat burning, while others do the opposite.

Here are just 3 studies, but there are many many more.

Thanks for the recommendation; I just purchased it. As another commenter said, TIS-100 is also a great game about an assembly language for a fictional computer that I'd highly recommend. I had a lot of fun playing with MIPS assembly in college, and I'd really like to do it again.
Not off the top of my head but there are plenty of such studies. That still wouldn't give a clear picture because Los Angeles is also a low density car centric city but because it's in California, healthy eating is culturally more prevalent and fresh food is easier to come by.
This is a classic. In fact it's close to the first algorithm ever patented - SyncSort, patented in 1971. Still being developed and sold, SyncSort remains the leading technology for big sorts.[1] When you need to sort a few terabytes, they have a product for that. It's a radix sort with self-adjusting bucket boundaries. So it can deal with keys that are not well distributed.

I am in the investment world and have long found Dalio to be crazy on the order of batshit level, and frankly there are a number of issues regarding Bridgewater that make my BS detector go wild. Their returns are a complete mystery to me. They charge high fees and consistently beat the market with low volatility, without leverage, and owning an extremely diversified group of assets, none of which are farther down the risk spectrum (eg equities, VC, etc). I haven't seen even the most sophisticated alternative fund allocators (eg big university endowments) sufficiently explain what it is that Bridgewater does.

Unrelated, since Jon Rubinstein is the co-CEO of Bridgewater, perhaps it does have some relevance to HN. (Although I have a side bet with a friend that he will leave in less than 24 months)
For development, 8 or even 16 GB would be great, and look for the higher-res screen.
Anyway, for $200 you can have a very decent, durable, highly compatible machine. The only functional thing lacking would be a Thunderdolt port.
I'm assuming this was posted in reaction to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13309610.

Interesting to see the contrast - on one side, the funded Silicon Valley "everything you need in a (very expensive) box"; on the other, just a few people sharing knowledge they've acquired through decades of practice without using any significantly new technology.

My money's on the latter when it comes to long term impact.
