Since this is an official announcement and the author is here: the proper phrase is "on premises"-- 'premise' is a term of speech, 'premises' is a place.

I was right with you until Thunderbird. I look at Thunderbird as one of Mozilla's many distractions. We don't need another open source desktop email client at the expense of the browser.

So long as we have a secure browser, there are others who can provide secure email services with a web client.

5.1% return above average but still reasonable. However, inflation is ~2.5 - 3%. So, unless your spending principle that's 21k/year ignoring taxes. Also, many people get discounts on health insurance and other benefits that don't apply.

Sure, you can burn down your principle based on life expectancy. But that's only really useful if your old. At 40 even 1% in your first year will probably cause you to run out of money.

I agree. The best investment for a doomsday scenario is to invest in yourself and your own skills first: get in shape, learn basic farming, wood/metalworking to make and repair tools, animal husbandry, basic first aid skills, learn geography and where clean water sources are, etc.

The 2nd best investment is to invest in your community and friends, because survival as a group is much easier than being a loner.

Stockpiling supplies I don't think is very relevant until signs of the collapse are obvious. A lot of medicines and some fuel don't last very long either, afaik.
If we could have a preliminary diagnosis quickly from a machine and only then and if necessary talk to a specialist doctor, the savings in costs could be outstanding. Talk about Affordable Care. Maybe an act of Congress could move this along.
But then, if you want to write a script to convert a bunch of files from one format to another, will you start a whole C# project?

If you want to quickly to a mathematical calculation with matrices, then plot and visualize it, will you use C#?

"Tool of choice" is misleading. Maybe you are a webdev. Maybe you write GUI applications for a living. I don't think there's clear "Tool of choice" for all jobs.

The job dictates the tool of choice.
Thanks for catching. Fixed.
The numbers don't back either of your claims, though - significantly more people use Safari and Chrome than use Firefox. I for one appreciate chrome for the fact that it syncs with my google everything, across all devices, google accounts, etc.

I'm probably going to hate myself for my blase attitude towards security when I inevitably end up on some massive dump of hacked accounts, but I've kind of given up on privacy/security. It's just so convenient to be able to pull up on my phone the tab I had open on my browser when I'm in the kitchen cooking, or whatever.

Indeed it is. It's something that a second algorithm (perhaps ML, perhaps not) would do.

> students who are gifted have specific learning needs that require: tailored learning strategies, education supported by a challenging curriculum, teachers trained in gifted education, more exposure to students of similar ability, opportunities for acceleration

So, gifted students are like every other student and excel with educational approaches tailored to their style of learning. Okay. You could say this exact same thing about kids with ADD, kids with Autism, boys, girls, kids with brown hair, etc, etc.

The arguments for this type of segregation and any other type of segregation are exactly the same. Do boys excel when removed from girls? Some of them do, others to a negligible degree.

The issue is that the government isn't trying to educate "your kid", it's trying to educate "every kid". Why? Because having a baseline education in your society - particularly in a democracy - is a very beneficial thing, for far too many reasons to get into here.

So the purpose of public schooling is not to bring you up to your full potential, it's to provide you with a base level starting point. Equality not of outcome, but of opportunity in life.

There is a fine balance between the good of the individual and the good of the overall society. The latter often supporting the former. It does us no good to further isolate ourselves from each other in ways that simply aren't compatible with maintaining a sustainable and just society overall. Western democracy has historically been able to walk the line between self-determination and individual freedom and collective control and deference to the state, but I fear we're starting to see shifts away from the centre into more extremes. Clamoring for segregation is just another form of destructive identity politics at the end of the day.

All that being said, I'll have to just come out and say that of course individual kids will be better off in tailored environments than they would be in the general populace. That isn't the question. The question really should be, are they better off growing up in an environment so removed from the reality of the world they are going to help run in the future? I'm not so sure.
Amazon still has pockets of very deep expertise with highly technical leaders that make for very productive and profitable teams. I've personally worked with some OR and Economics teams that consistently deliver exceptional results for the bottom line. And I know that many of Amazon's best businesses have come (originally) from organizations like these: AWS, Kindle, Echo, etc.

But it very quickly is moving away from that idea and toward a world in which MBAs with half baked ideas that don't pass basic sanity checks are allowed to commit to impossible (P=NP!) ideas on behalf of their teams. And it destroys morale: nobody wants to work on a project that is known from the start to be impossible to deliver as specced. So they churn out.

And when you talk to the goon that is in charge of it all, the problem always magically seems to be that they can't hire fast enough.
How can you argue pt.1 when the kids of high income parents already receive, at great expense but to great personal benefit, the kind of academically segregated education you are arguing against? How is a smart kid from Detroit or Camden supposed to catch up to his intellectual peer who is learning calculus while he/she is stuck in a school right out of Stand and Deliver? Without help one of them is going to Harvard and the other Community College, maybe, and quite frankly that is a waste of potential.

Sometimes the problem with education isn't the building, or the teachers, or the administration: it's the students (and by extension their parents) and if we can't fix them at least we can teach everyone according to their ability.
These critics don't understand what it means to get things done. It's becoming a meme at this point.

Ask HN: Not getting selected for Summer Internships :(
I am a first year Masters student at SUNY Buffalo. I have applied to almost 100 companies for internships but haven't had any luck getting an interview. I am guessing it is due to my resume. I am extremely tense that I won't be getting any internship this summer. If possible, kindly review my resume and advice what might be wrong. (http://www.shadkhan.net/resume)

Having worked in the field, the model that works well is decision support = augmenting an expert with a computer-aided diagnosis. This can work in a couple of ways, but the two classic ones are:

* Following behind the expert to give a second opinion

* Going ahead of experts to screen cases that should be read by an expert

Humans are imperfect and have their sources of unwanted variability. Algorithms may be less variable and reach near-human performance in controlled settings, but are often not flexible enough, not good at incorporating multi-modal patient history, and sometimes fail in spectacularly bad ways.

> Is it possible you're either underestimating the effort it takes to make QEMU solid or overestimating the effort it takes to write an emulator?

Not just possible, it's highly likely.
Two approaches:

1. Solve an actual problem. E.g. I built a library based on some use cases I saw at a training session I did at Cisco. Building yet-another-thing-that-has-900-implementations doesn't count.

2. Set a really hard deadline or limit. E.g. "must be feature complete by end of the weekend."

The goal either way is not to end up in place where it's 20% done: either you have problem or a deadline to keep you focused on completion

>Government is a monopoly of force. You want to cure market monopolies by expanding the power of a monopoly that employs threats of violence. Good luck with that.

I really wish libertarians would stop using this facile rhetorical device: "Government must be bad, it relies on THREATS OF VIOLENCE!!"

But if you're talking about property rights, unless you're suggesting enforcement by stern warnings, you're already talking about using threats of violence to coerce people.

I agree with your point there, particularly that cities will look for regressive sales tax rather than property tax.

But the effective elimination of property tax on commercial real estate vs. residential real estate also has the problem of hugely distorting the market. When I was looking for office space for my startup around ~2010, there was enough empty commercial space to for every resident to have 200 sq. ft.!

Meanwhile, residential housing stock is so low that the rental market is largely driven by personal acquaintances. I remember calling numbers for 30 ads, and only getting a response from one, because they were like "hey I know that guy!"

This is also a zoning issue. But commercial real estate acts like an investment, and if empty commercial real estate is profitable to hold on to because rents are low and taxes are low, it makes it impossible for a market to properly switch between the two, even when all that commercial real estate can be zoned as acceptable for residential use.

In any case, I see no reason why commercial real estate should be taxed less than residential real estate, unless it would be desirable to distort the market in that way. (And depending on other forces it definitely could be. I just know that Prop 13 is a really bad deal for my county's economy, and don't know why the State should have the power to override the county or city on this.)
I hope we've learned from the Chestnut fiasco that the 'solution' to this is probably not to cut down all Elm trees.
Considering this is HN, I'll stick to the software/hardware field. While there is some truth to this, I disagree with the assertion that in order for a manager to be good, he "should be able to do your job". I fully agree that a manager for a technical team should have a technical background, and more specifically in the same broad field as the employee. Taking my own case, I am a scientific software developer, with lots of experience in Python, C etc. But as a manager of a team of software developers in different fields, I have no clue how to do web application development or devopsy type stuff, JavaScript, Kubernetes, Go and the like, which we use as well. However I hope I can still be a good manager because I understand the process of software development, I understand people and their needs (technical needs, motivational needs, professional development needs etc), and I can recognize good people when I see them, who can be leaders in their respective technical roles and mentors to others.

Or maybe I suck at my job and I don't know it!

Then don't buy an iPhone. Apple doesn't have a "monopoly", it's just defining the specs of its own product. If you don't like those specs, buy a similar product with specs you do like.

As for it going beyond iOs, well, it's still not a monopoly, since those other options exist. They aren't buying out/shutting down competition, people are simply choosing to not use the competition. And you can't hold that against Apple.
In the LA area, this would have the effect of putting a lot more traffic onto surface streets, I think. Seems to me it would be a better idea to increase fuel taxes.
Locke lived and wrote in a time when populations were smaller and land and resources were generally far more available than the world we live in today. He stated the right to own property did not include the right to "spoil or destroy" it, and he also stated there was a moral limit to excess accumulation of property on the grounds that individuals have consumption and labor limits that should not be exceeded. His idea of property ownership was rooted in the idea that it would be somewhat fairly distributed. When humans start behaving like that, then I'll agree they should be able to fully control their wealth.
I think the aversion that most engineers have to management, is that software development is already a very nebulous beast. Actually delivering a solution that is called a "success" is often a slippery moving target. Being the one who is responsible for the project's success is even scarier.
Very true, and it was just as true a few years ago when Firefox was able to keep pace. So I think it's fair to say they are slipping.

In my opinion they have a lot to do with the First Amendment.

I feel the exact opposite - in my treatment for prostate cancer the human interaction with doctors were a hugely positive experience for me. Interpretation of biopsies and inspection of cancer images were part of that process and I'm sure machine vision algorithms could help in this area. However, even if the classification of the cancer cells improves, the role of the doctor guiding the patient through the right treatment process still remains something I would not want to turn over to an algorithm.

I have also encountered doctors I did not like but fortunately for me I had a choice where to go. Maybe machine learning should focus on weeding out unpopular practitioners instead.

Populism is, in a political culture, the appeal to the popular regardless of other interests. It is about simplistic concepts easily chanted, divorced from complex realities. It is about doing what the people say they want regarless of how idiotic that may be, regardless of the fact they probably dont want the thing in the long run. By way if example, tieing NAFTA negotiations to whichever country wins the Stanly Cup would be popular, but it isnt sound leadership. Eliminating the IRS is popular, but no rational person would do it. (Either of those wouldnt shock me if tweeted.)
I'm honestly not sure how you get that read. I perceived it more as a call to action. "It's not enough to do nothing" seems to be a damn valid justification given recent events. If too much of the special interest group is inactive, it greatly lowers its impact and damages _all_ of the group; you have the normal commons problem that many people often assume "someone else will do the work for me."

I think some aggressive calls to action in this space are really valid; the sex positive community, for as broad as I've found it to be, is often very closeted. (many "normal people" not in kink communities have privately shared similar sentiments to me but been afraid to "come out" as it were.) With a broader "this is who we are and this is our freedom to have the sexual lives we want as consenting adults" movement some of this stigma and shame may be dealt with.

As a broader statement, I do think political inaction is somewhat shameful, and seem to be in good company given such famous statements as "The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing"; an effective democracy hinges on participation, something that participation numbers in recent elections have left me candidly very concerned about.
Oh don't be silly, he's applying multiple possible reasons to the set of frustrations. You're applying all of them to a single frustration. What you've done isn't logical.
You are missing the other half of the problem: what about the non-gifted. The majority of kids are average: they didn't get whatever it is that makes some people above average. They need the slower pace of school to learn, otherwise they won't learn.

The right thing for an average student is not the same as what is right for either the gifted, or the "retarded" (I forget what the correct term is.
N=1 anecdote, but I'd say your thesis is not only wrong, it is diametrically opposed to reality. Having seen both, crumbling local public school[0] and gifted state run boarding school[1] your story of the 'smart' kids setting an example never happened. Mostly, I think, because you underestimate just how far ahead they are. It's not a case of "things come easier"; it's "skip every class and show up on the last day and still out perform everyone else". As an aside, I learned more from my peers and participated more in the community when we had a shared foundation to work with.

What you're advocating is a deeply lonely (and I'd argue psychologically damaging) experience and it really bothers me to see so many people in this thread want more people to experience it.

That's what eminent domain laws are for.
I agree with all of this, but that 50 year case was ludicrously generous - I gave China every penny of economic growth in the entire world. What I'm saying is that "China could be like Switzerland by implementing Swiss policies" is implausible, because there simply isn't enough money to be like Switzerland. Even if you think it would work, which I don't, the timeframes involved are up there with "dawn of industrialization to now".

I'm not mistaking the global economy for a zero sum game, but I'm saying that growth is bounded for any merely-strategic change. And, I'm saying that Switzerland's strategy is largely a zero-sum one of providing luxury goods and services to transfer foreign wealth in. China could reach Swiss wealth with a breakthrough in graphene superconduction (not zero sum, increases rate of global wealth growth), but it's not realistic by becoming a banking and luxury goods hub (near-zero sum, doesn't alter existing ~2% global growth rates).
Yes, the terseness of the language itself lends itself to terseness everywhere - even in variable namings. It's not necessary and I usually avoid that when I write k or q. Purposefully obfuscating code like that lends to the "bad rep" that the language gets.

>"The numbers don't back either of your claims, though - significantly more people use Safari and Chrome than use Firefox."

The reason we're in disagreement is we're picking different forms of comparison. You're looking at popularity, I'm looking at technology. I don't dispute more people use Chrome, but that doesn't make it automatically better from a technical point of view. As I said before, technically Firefox and Chrome are fairly equal, and there are benchmarks and feature comparisons that back this up.

Bullshit. Science deals with facts and theories. Look:

Fact: "I measured the CO2 content in a sample of air, and it was 400ppm." (I didn't actually measure. Bear with me.)

Fact: "50 year old textbooks list the content of CO2 in air as 280ppm."

Theory: "The increase of CO2 content in air is caused by the burning of fossil hydrocarbons."

You can argue with the theory. You can not argue with the facts. All three of them are science, and yes, that explicitly includes the argument.
