So is Facebook going to retroactively mark the original article as 'fake news' now?
Our startup, Casetext (YCS13) was mentioned a few times here, so I thought I'd stop in.

The crux of the article is that most legal research solutions have ignored the immense power contained in the links between laws:

> Laws frequently reference other laws in order to reuse definitions, introduce exceptions, or make it clear that two concepts are meant to work together. Consequential laws tend to get referenced in other laws as their influence spreads throughout the legal system. Experienced lawyers build up detailed mental maps of these links, allowing them to jump immediately to core issues of complex legal problems.

> However, most laws can only be searched using the dark-age, Lycos strategy—guess at keywords and hope—and it’s often necessary to pay for even that limited functionality.

We at Casetext are taking a very different approach than the "dark-age, Lycos strategy" that you have to pay for:

1. On Casetext, the law is free, as is basic search. Honestly, it's insane that Westlaw and LexisNexis charge as much as they do for basic keyword search over a database that should have been free to begin with.

2. We make money by charging for advanced, data-driven ways that lawyers can research more efficiently. CARA, our premium product, enables a lawyer to drag-and-drop upload a document they're working on, and will recommend the research that the lawyer missed but is very relevant to what they're working on (https://casetext.com/cara). A key ingredient behind this awesome tech is the network of citations that the article mentions.

Whether it's us or other startups, I agree with the article that in the next few years you'll see a trend towards more "Google for Law" -- companies will make legal research free, and their comparative advantage will be on their technology, often driven by ML/AI. As a lawyer/coder, it's a pretty exciting time to be in the space.

Oh yeah, and we're hiring! https://casetext.com/jobs
See, I have two cables that I've never wound up, one is on the verge of tearing and the othaerntore years ago. I didn't handle them roughly as far as I know and all of my PCs have never had such an issue.

Even if every user was using it wrong I would still call it an Apple issue as their solution is obviously not meeting the needs of their users.
If you want to make the argument that a society with a leisure class and a working class is somehow better for everyone, go ahead and do it.

But that's unrelated to the argument I was making. I was simply disputing a claim that we don't have enough jobs. We do, people simply refuse to do them.

Funny thing is this also describes the job market. Very low wages at the bottom, not even enough to sustain a living, nothing in the middle, high wages at the top. Hollowing out of the middle. All a result of supposed efficiency, but really it's just externalities pushed onto the employees. It's not as if they can afford it, they have no choice.
Generational and regional for sure. I've been flying US and Japanese carriers since the late 80's, and (a) Japanese Carriers were always higher quality, but (b) US carriers are much much more crammed than they used to be.
Merely keeping up with inflation has been tough since about 2007.

I had to vouch for it. It had been flagged, possibly multiple times.

Ughh. That's like saying the UK has only existed for 301 years; It's the answer of an idiot savant.
Comparison of Unitard vs Leotards
Has the Surface Book stabilized yet? I really want to buy one but I keep hearing about their issues. My S3 is probably an abandoned puppy now but works really well... when it is working at all.

MBPs are still the best computer one can get for a rock solid Windows experience; even the surface book trackpad (supposedly precision?) seems to not really compare to what comes on a MBP, and touch doesn't often fill in the gap. Over the last years, I've always regretted my PC purchases (4), but have never regretted my MBP purchases (3). It is really hard to come up with the courage to try again.
See also ftp://publications.ai.mit.edu/ai-publications/pdf/AITR-1417.pdf. for an early perspective on generational GC.

Ephemeral GC btw. means something slightly different. An ephemeral GC is mostly concerned with the detection and collection of short lifetime objects in main memory.

The main problem is that architectures, implementations, actual computers, programs were so different, that you could find all kinds of numbers. Even a generational GC can get extremely busy and may not prevent from having full GCs over large virtual memory from time to time. It's also a huge difference if the GC was incremental (the work was spread over the whole compuation) or if the system stopped for much of the GC work.

Accidentally released a version that contained a Thread.sleep(1000); call in the frame-saving loop of the video recording feature. We had put it in to simulate a slow hard drive so we could watch how the system reacted. It reacted quite well until it ran out of ram.
I went from almost never needing to restart my mac (with Snow Leopard) to having to restart it a couple of times a week with Sierra. The UI just becomes totally unresponsive (the cursor stops moving, the time in the menu bar stops ticking and the spinning wheel stops spinning) and needs a restart. And I don't even have things like SIMBL installed (I used to with snow leopard, not anymore). I just have Karabiner elements and Little snitch running (oh and coconut battery since Apple in it's great wisdom decided to hide the remaining time estimate).

The new versions of macOs provide no added advantage and have a lot of regressions. I used to use Exposé all the time, now I don't because everything slows to a crawl when I activate it.

And I run into severe bugs. For example, when I installed Yosemite and activated Filevault, it managed to corrupt my partition and all my data (luckily I had a backup).

I really wish Apple starts actually hiring good software engineers or at least manage them to work on their OS because right now it's embarrassing. It reminds me of when Windows ME was a thing. If Apple ran the I'm a Mac, I'm a PC ad nowadays they wouldn't have much of a leg to stand on.

And then don't even get me started on their pro apps. Aperture used to be a great app (much better than lightroom), they stopped its development.

> I mean, if Bill's insurance would pay $20,000 then Bill himself would have to come up with the $110,000 right?

I think the reasoning is that although he would be on the hook for the $110K, since Bill was a teenager who worked at Wendy's, he likely didn't have the $110K to pay. Sure he could rightfully sue Bill for the full amount, but he can't get what the kid doesn't have.
>I am not saying that you cannot get a decent X260, but notice how now in every Thinkpad thread there is a significant number of "me

Well its subjective either way. We've got over 300 of the things in the office though, so more inclined to trust that than counting complaints in threads.

I'm sure there are better laptops out there but the x240/260s are far from duds. What they are though is old...office is replacing them with x1 carbons thankfully - with HD screens (finally).
It might be simpler than even that. Most cables are black because black ones are more durable for many reasons(UV resist and more choice of composition/processing)

Apple likes their bright colors too much to do that :)
Full disclosure - yes, I work at MS, but not on the Excel team, and have no stake in Excel in any way. That said, you can substitute Excel with any other spreadsheet processor you like :)

And I agree with you that in some cases transactions are hard to track with existing tools when there are very specific scenarios that are simply not common enough to be included in the "one-size-fits-all" services. For me those are cash transactions between friends and them paying back for things through, say, Venmo.

ConEmu is nice in my experience, but requires some tweeking. Some people I know use MobaXterm. The main drawback is windows itself, with its disruptive updates lately.
I'm incredibly happy running a 2008 Mac Pro with a GTX 960, 32GB RAM and intel i6700 :) It's unfortunate that I also had to replace the case to fit the Samsung 950PRO in there, but wow, Sierra is screaming fast and Tensorflow runs perfectly.
As to why it was flagged, the submission has no direct tech link, and while it's politically relevant and of interest to some, it wouldn't surprise me that some users have flagged it, seeing it unlikely to produce a constructive discussion while producing a lot of flames and uncivil behavior.

As to why some posts are flagged, and some to the point of '[flagged][dead]', from as much as I've witnessed it's not all that dissimilar to why some posts or comments get up-voted and others not. Certain occurrences of flagging will catch our eye based on our own perspectives.

I haven't been convinced strongly enough that there's anything nefarious afoot to warrant diving into looking at the post statistics (though I do think it would be interesting to do so). From your initial comment I might assume that you think this might be the case. If so, I encourage you to do such a study yourself. The HN APIs will likely give you enough data to provide enough data to dig into it.

> Prior to Apple's entry, how many people were saying what they wanted in a smartphone was to remove all those buttons?

Except

1) Apple weren't the first innovating in that regard. I don't know who was, I just do know Nokia was experimenting with Nokia 770 and Nokia N800 in 2005-2006. True, they weren't smartphones, but they were going in the right direction. Without many buttons. The Nokia N810 had a keyboard, and that was less well received than its N800 keyboardless counterpart.

2) Apple didn't remove all buttons from the iPhone (power, volume keys were still there). The two important changes were:

A) Removal of the physical keyboard, replaced by a (by then) well working OSD. Working with a capacitive screen.

B) They made 1 main button.
The CIA uses special hardware to track keystrokes and installed it in many foreign computers. Essentially we hacked them and now cry foul that they hacked the DNC and discovered the fact that Clinton stole the primary. Pretty hypocritical.
Good example but in most real world cases choice will be to keep one point to themselves and give away between zero to one point to the group out of that one point.

Now selfish behaviour kicks in as every individual wants to give as little as possible. But survivial of the group becomes crucial in face of an adversory. In that case everyone will contribute towards maximising group's strength. So in my understanding nature and wars (to a lesser degree) shaped altruism. But mostly nature. There's no way monkeys can survive without taking care of each other and group dynamics are strongest amongst them.

Altruism is completely practical.
Halfdollar – Budgeting You Can Understand
If you had a reference for this, I would love to read it. (not sarcastic; this is fascinating.)
Which folks? Did you read the referenced article? 1% are those making most of the capital (passive) income so those were the productive passive earners I referred to. At this point, if they work, it's because they're choosing to - which is proof that passive income does not inherently slow productivity.
The file open times where we are talking about a difference of just over half a second for files which are larger than most web-devs (the target market for Atom and VSCODE) shouldn't make a difference in real life usage.

However, where the big difference comes is in searching across an entire project. Want to find all references to `someVar` it's super snappy in Sublime and 10x slower in VSCode and Atom (of course, it depends on the size of your project as well, but my projects are not that large).

Having said that, I'm still using VSCode, my biggest hope is improved search performance. The Git integration is fantastic.

Well, that's "just politics". While immigration policy somehow is not.

But I bet if you suggested ruthlessly deporting anyone who overstays a student visa or cheats on their visa to do a startup, you'd get a different response, even though those things are just as illegal as the person working at Wal-Mart without legal presence/permission to work.
Text editors?
Scala (https://github.com/scala/scala) is completely developed on GitHub with Pull Requests requiring reviews being the only way commits can enter master. Issues are in a separate JIRA instance, although there is currently some experiments about migrating that to GitHub as well. A lot of other processes about the language, such as discussions about language features and their design, also are open on GitHub.

Its little brother Scala.js is entirely developed on GitHub too, complete with language proposals and issue tracking. https://github.com/scala-js/scala-js
If I understand the nature of the math correctly, altruism should be "beneficial" (from evolutionary perspective), if the number of people multiplied by closeness factor of their genes to yours ultimately translates to a larger portion of your genes propagating to later generations, than if you have expended those resources on yourself.

E.g. suppose I have a loaf of lembas. I can eat it myself, and it increases my chance of surviving and reproducing merely by 10%, because, while I'm starving, I'm healthy. But I have three siblings who share 50% of their genes with me, and who are starving and sick. If I give all my lembas to them, their chances of surviving and reproducing increase twofold, and become same as my current chance. In that case, it makes sense for me (or rather my genes) to evolve the behavior whereby I give away the lembas, because these three survivors will spread the genes that we share more efficiently than I alone.

Now, obviously, the math here has to add up in real-world scenarios - is that what you mean by "it wasn't trivial to stack the dice"? It just feels like it shouldn't be hard to come up with many cases where all the coefficients line up...
The translation isn't "only nonsense", and in many cases even grammatically correct, but mostly semantically wrong, or rather weird. In any case, a long shot from a human translation. But I wouldn't agree that it's "quite good". And, this is the easy case. EN->DE works even worse.
You can "replace" the degree with sufficient professional experience, at least for Germany. Ideally you've got several years.
Even customer service seems to be befuddled by Apple's policies at times. The current battery issue with the iphone 6s took months until Apple made it 'claimable'. Then people are told to send their iphones in and are expected to wait for 6 weeks (without a temporary replacement). But what's better: they get the same phone back (because the system check apple performs won't test for cold temperature based battery issues, so the device always passes).

I don't know if the Apple before Cook and Icahn was different in that, but this is soooo ... dare I say "heyday Microsoft"?

Alfred. Alt+Space by default (note you can also remove keybinds of Spotlight to make room for Alfred because I use Cmd+Space for Alfred and Alt+Space for iTerm2 fullscreen, running tmux via tmuxp).

EDIT: As joobus wrote above, I also recommend Amethyst. There's a small learning curve with the keybinds but that's it. Oh, I and I recommend Flux (remember you can temporarily put it off).
Berbers aren't a "sub group of Arabians"...
I agree about the closed-mindedness. I see that also a lot in the German-speaking parts of Switzerland. One cause is being afraid of getting overwhelmed by things they don't know. This happens everywhere but German speaking countries seem to be more affected by it.

How to Talk Yourself Out of Your New Year’s Blogging Resolution
You didn't mention the affordability of meat to average customers in the age of the butcher.
Civilian warfare. You have to invest in signal jamming devices because some asshats with monies decided to deploy trackers in order to get more monies.
You don't have to do any managing to make capital gains, and I'm not convinced that it makes that much of a difference whether the person with the capital is personally making the decisions.
You're right insofar as they are unhelpful and artificial structures when people hide behind them or use them as an excuse for doing (or not doing) something. Particularly when they know they shouldn't be. Having the "I couldn't because I'm a ..." thing is self-deceptive.

But there is a very real difference between the two groups in terms of how they 'recharge' or 'relax'. I'm an introvert, which is to say that I prefer to spend time on my own to mentally relax. I am perfectly capable of socialising - and need to as much as anyone else - I just need to balance it with alone time.

Socialising to me is exhausting. I need it, I enjoy it, but it is work and it tires me out. Others recharge from the socialising, and in that context it's useful and important information.

Does Visual Studio not come with nmake anymore? While I prefer BSD make, nmake wasn't half bad. Had all the essentials and then some.
Actually rights are totally fine by "taking from someone else" in the general sense.

Your wage (which you have a right to, as an employee) is already "taking from someone else".

The "right to work" (part of the universal declaration of human rights) includes taking a job that somebody else could take in your place.

And of course the whole idea that "sane work culture", "good wages" and "vacation days" are stolen from other people is inane. Who do you think the Swiss collectively stole them from?
The ones whose empire started falling apart almost as soon as its founder died?
The book discusses this point well. (Arguably the article could have done a better job with this.) Seriously, it's a good book and I would recommend it.
"Domestic labor (maid, cook, driver, servant) for more productive people."

Are you seriously suggesting to implement (or go back) to the class system we (thankfully) got rid off in modern West? You can get a job as a maid, cook, driver and even servant if you want to now, but forcing people to take such jobs would be just another form of slavery that benefits only a small group of already well-off people.
Then you'd expect all the executive team at Spple to be Steve's hand selected Yes Men, a bunch of followers unable to do their own thing. Yet what we hear from people who actually worked for Steve that this isn't how he operated or selected talent at all. He ruthlessly weeded out Yes Men. What you're representing is the caricature of Steve Jobs, but a one dimensional personality like that could never have achieved what he did.
