People really give these agencies too much misplaced respect.

The defense and intelligence communities hire from Tier 3 schools in the DC, Maryland and Virginia area.

People that - you imagine - would get laughed at for not being from Stanford and Ivy League at every VC pitch meeting. People you would think weren't the "best of the best" hired by all the tech companies that brag about doing so.

Of course, their engineers are just are educated and ambitious, I'm just pointing out how warped people's perception has become.

Like most, I always thought that the allies were desperate to get their hands on these machines during the war.

I was lucky enough to get to play with one of these things when a lecturer from the Bletchley Park foundation toured here some years back. She gave a fascinating and riveting talk on the history of the device.

I was surprised to hear that these were actually commercially available before the war, and that the allies had quite a few of them in store already. The crucial thing they were after were the booklets with the daily rotor and plugboard settings - far more valuable than the machines themselves.
YT already has this - you just have to pay for YouTube Red.

Sort of makes sense; YouTube isn't built for audio ads, and audio ads don't make a whole lot of money (just look at Spotify), but they still have to pay the rights holder.
Forget About Setting Goals. Focus on System Process Instead
Types and Tests (by Uncle Bob)
TPP was a threat to the sovereignty of the United States. It would have encoded in a multilateral trade agreement, representing huge amounts of economic activity, massive regulatory requirements, enforcement courts, and processes for further multilateral regulation. It would have made the cost of changing those regulations unbearable for any future administration.

We almost had the regulatory state imposed at an international level. Good riddance.

My understanding is that the other countries were not pushing to adopt our IP policies (though Japan did), so construing that point as compromise is a bit disingenuous.

I think that, with the exception of environmental policy on the part of the poorer counties, I'd prefer the other countries' notiations. (Other than IP I have no evidence though, as others have said it's hard to come by.)
So you're aware, you're being downvoted for "liberal internationalism". I'm completely a liberal internationalist, and I opposed TPP- for a lot of the reasons you described! This is a class issue, not a partisan issue.
Yup. People dismiss this because they assume the number of tries to be relatively small. But in truth, we're making dozens of decisions every day. Compound that over a career and a 1% advantage adds up to huge potential, for those determined enough to keep trying at it.
There have been serious arguments made that too much transparency is crippling the US government's ability to function.

Used to be a lot more compromises made in private, to come up with trade offs both sides could live with but the partisan core supporters would shoot down immediately if they knew. Which leads to our current government, where compromise with the other side of any kind is political suicide.
I just removed it because it's not even the right word. I meant to refer to the philosophy that seeks to incrementally build an international legal order. It's commonly called "liberalism" within the context of international relations but isn't directly related to contemporary western leftism, also called "liberalism". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liberalism_(international_rela...
This is the case for me. I simply don't have the time to invest in a technology that I keep hearing great things about, but from which I don't see many interesting things being built. I don't mean to knock on Haskell; I'd like to learn it, I just can't justify the time. I'm hoping to get there eventually, perhaps by pursuing Rust more or checking out Reason/OCaml, but I don't have many applications that could benefit from functional languages (at least not functional languages that are markedly slower than the languages I'm building things with today).
Ask HN: How do you validate product idea and get first 50 customers?
I am looking for wisdom from founders, entrepreneurs and anyone that have a paid project/product. How do you validate the idea?

I think 'go talk to customers' is a clinche advise just like 'be attractive'. I don't know why an anonymous person's opinion would matter that much. I don't want to ask friends as they will always say it's good.

Do you do cold emails and/or twitter, hn, reddit for finding initial customers? What about non-tech audience?
How do you reach out to someone with no knowledge of technology?

Thanks in advance.
There's a lot of anti-transparency arguments coming from a mainstream, "woe, the lost bipartisanship", outlook. I'm not sure whether to think this is a nuanced look at tradeoffs or a sickening slippery slope.
I do not see it as a communication problem because there's nothing they could tell me that would make me support those IP provisions.
Chevy Bolt EV Review, from One of the First Buyers to Get One
The ISDS provisions were also very controversial.
Here's my take. Look at Rex Tillerson, and a lot of others in his cabinet, not to mention Trump's donors. This looks more to me like the speech did, claim to bring power back to the people and then end a regulation that would yield savings for homeowners on their mortgages a couple hours later. Claim to want healthcare for all and not really put forward with a replacement, but continue the route towards repeal. Claim to be against "global financial interests" then appoint rich, wealthy donors to his cabinet and not to mention a number of former Goldman Sachs employees.

The point is a lot of money on the line. Being against TPP is good politics, but it doesn't fly well with those who funded him. I am worried what happened with the ethics office will happen here: they tried it, be blown back by the bad rep it gets, reverse course, then pass rules that limit the ethics office anyway when no ones looking. I have a feeling that Trump is doing this for press now, but a form of the TPP will pass anyway because there is just too much money on the line.
Maybe, maybe not. Sounds like a good RFC :)

Also, no worries about the bug! I much prefer over-reporting than under-reporting when it comes to these things.
TPP was a trade agreement ruined by a long series of provisions sharply biased towards the USA and certain US industries. So as a New Zealander I'm really happy to see the back of it. Meanwhile we already have an FTA with China (and many other countries) and our trade both ways is booming.

Perhaps we can start again with a much cleaner, people friendly TPP that excludes the US and includes China.
That's quite presumptuous. The real reason is that Go programs can panic for silly things.
Democrats will use it in completely analogous ways.
A proportional penalty based on the salary of the position would make more sense. If you're hiring at McDonalds at minimum wage, $2000 is a bigger penalty than if you're hiring an engineer.
I think the word that most clearly states what you mean, and would be understood by the greatest number, is "neoliberalism". In any case, I've undone my downvote.

My employer asks this question. I refused to answer when asked in person/phone. As we got further in the hiring process they asked as part of the form they fill in to setup the background check. Again I refused to answer this question. I failed the background check due to this.

When we discussed it they said it was necessary so they could verify if I had lied about my salary when I'd given it previously. I pointed out that I had never given this information. HR insisted that I must have since they require it. Round and round we went for a while.

Eventually they let it go and hired me anyway.

So to answer your question. Companies will typically call up your previous employer and ask if the salary you provided them is correct.

Lying on your application form is almost always cause to fire. So if they ever find out you lied you about your previous salary you can be fired on the spot.
"Interesting that FB have build system ^Reason^ (build system)"

One reason to define a tool and use language clearly, I interpreted, 'Build Systems Rapidly' as a ^build system^ where in reality Reason is a ^systems language^ to build things quickly.

Newly published Microsoft patent aims to eliminate paper
I see a lot of people debating free speech rights. There's a simple solution to this. Don't write the law such that it's illegal to ask the question. Write the law such that it's illegal to use the information in hiring decisions or determining how much to pay. If the people involved with making those decisions have that information consider that prima facia proof that the information was used that way.

Now they have their free speech rights. They can indeed ask the question. But parties responsible for certain things cannot have access to that information.

Most reasonable companies will simply not bother to ask rather than jumping through the hoops to do so. But further most people won't have a reason to ask because the information can't be used for the normal reasons to ask.
"How much would you like to get paid" pretty much has to be asked and answered at some point if there is going Robb's an employment relationship. "How much did you make previously" does not.
Free Speech != Unbiased Speech.

If state can forbid you speaking something, you dont have free speech. Money does not come into equation when we talk about free speech.
Honestly I have answered slightly under what I wanted to earn.
You are only now just seeing that Trump agreeing with something doesn't make it bad by default? It's not Good vs Evil here. Reality is more nuanced. Glen Greenwald, Edward Snowden, and Julian Assange also espouse certain views that match those of Trump, even though they all despise the man. It's not like Trump just went down a check list and picked the "evil" option for every issue. And the left, such as Hillary, didn't go down the list and choose the "good" option for every issue. Both sides have issues for which they have horrible self-serving stances that the other side opposes, and thus you will find people you look up to often agreeing with your "enemy".

The best character trait you could possibly have in a helping role is to genuinely enjoy the experience of having helped a person deserving help. Fortunately, I am blessed with that trait.

If you're talking about journals, my understanding is that most journals don't have any hard requirement that you be associated with an academic institution to be published. You see, for example, researchers from corporate research groups get published on occasion. Now, the bar to get in might be a bit higher, since that academic affiliation is probably perceived (rightly or wrongly) as having some signaling value. But if you have some sufficiently interesting results and a well-written paper, I would think you could get it published.

This is probably even more true if you're not too picky about what journal you get published in. Getting in Nature is tough for anybody, but there are plenty of less prestigious journals that probably have less restrictive editorial policies.

And if you don't necessarily care about being published in the strictest technical sense, but just want to get your material "out there" then you can probably submit to arXiv (or BioRXiv or ChemRXiv or whatever pre-print server is relevant to your field), and/or write it up on a blog and submit the link to relevant sub-reddits, HN, etc., etc.
> It can not be "legitimate" and "on average".

I do believe you just made that up. Nothing is perfect, and yet there have been studies that show Wikipedia is more often factually correct than Encyclopedia Britannica, which was previously considered the gold standard. http://www.nature.com/nature/britannica/index.html

Is the New York Times legitimate on average? I would say so. Are there mistakes from time to time? Yes. They are typically corrected, as are Wikipedia's.

I don't see the point in trying to find a petty side-argument when there is no argument to be had. If that's the best you could find though, I consider my above points to be well-vetted.

The loaded gun that Obama left for Trump is what terrifies me the most. Trump has been shown the way on what to do when you want to take out a citizen without due process of law. I am hopeful that all the disdain against Trump will result in a peeling back of these abuses that Obama pioneered, even more so than his predecessor, Mr. Bush.

I agree. I guess what I meant to say is that either way it's sad. If it turns out he has been doing bogus research / falsifying the data then it's terrible for all the reasons you stated. Good that someone blew the whistle, but really sad. If it turns out he has been doing good research but this dispute means that the lab can't continue to function it's also a setback for the lines of research they were pursuing into SMA. I just, perhaps over-sensitively, took issue with characterizing the situation as awesome.
I'm surprised he didn't mention pilot wave theory. Cranks love it because it doesn't violate the notion of local realism and it has infected respected popular-science publications. But any "interpretation" of quantum mechanics that leads to violations of causality should be treated as illegitimate until proven otherwise.
So even his own forecasts are wrong :)

More seriously, they might not complete on day 1, but many will happen. E.g. your article lists the TPP withdrawl was a broken "day 1" promise. How long did that take? Couldn't have been much more than 24 hours...
There is a wide range of libertarian perspectives, just like you find on the left (socialist and beyond to moderate). I consider myself and my arguments on this thread to be with a moderate-leaning interpretation of the libertarian-associated non-aggression principle. I think everyone here agrees with the non-aggression principle, but Democrats don't usually recognize it or try to apply it as a logical, almost quantifiable rule (quantifiable in the sense of maximizing units of freedom) against policy positions.

HN appears to lean left of moderate liberals, though. The hive-mind can be a major turn-off at times...
I agree. However using the same methods in this election, 'establishment' Hillary would have probably come across as big brother-esque whereas Trump as more of a 'new awareness' message to some targeted users (fitting his rhetoric). Surely not in all cases but perhaps notable enough.

While I agree with your second assertion, I would think that most companies would prefer to have on-premises hosting for their intellectual property. Github and Atlassian offer this.
Exactly. I had, at one point, run through all of the latest open source offerings in this space. Right after I got everything up and running, the initial whisper of maintenance came back and I purchased the entry level GitHub subscription. There are other aspects which help these commercial offerings as well, such as brand affinity and switching costs. This usually leads to more newer developers using the same platform as their colleagues, thus prolonging the aforementioned brand affinity.

According to the researcher translation table, fusion is still a long ways off. https://xkcd.com/678/
The symmetry is naive. The only way I'd be completely confident in it is if the branching factors matched, i.e. the distribution of "number of employees per employer" mirrored the distribution of "number of employers per employee".

Absent that, you need to prove assymmetries cancel out, which has a higher burden of proof.
As a counterpoint to this, see the many excellent articles on The Hermitary.[1]

Also see Anthony Storr's Solitude: A Return to the Self.[2]

Many people have historically chosen solitude for religious or spiritual reasons, to focus on something they wanted to achieve, because they just preferred being alone, or for many other reasons.

Many societies have stigmatized solitude and those who choose it, but on the other hand there have been social movements which have praised and advocated solitude.

Hiring the right person is more difficult than you may think, if you've never had the misfortune of doing it yourself. Only a minority of well-known tech companies have an endless supply of talent knocking on their door-steps, and coincidentally, they tend to have above average hiring practices (Google, for example).

No, not really, not at all. Chromium has an equivalent (but more accessible and more user friendly) feature than Firefox profile, but it's nowhere close to this.

The profile feature in Firefox and Chromium allows you to have a different set of add-ons or browser configuration, but this feature is really different: it allows you, with the same features and add-ons, to have different sessions, with independent cookies to limit tracking and mitigate CSRF attacks.
It is hardly "used" by NASA. As a conceptual study for the whole premise of AR they have tried it out in concert with Microsoft, but the project has gone entirely silent. And no, it doesn't work as shown in the demos -- it's very low resolution and has movement and 3D mapping issues. It will obviously improve, but I wouldn't be dropping thousands on a first generation unit, as it is certainly money down the toilet.
