Speaking from very recent experience, some things are obviously standard, like "take these pills twice a day" but cancer often comes with lots of ancillary issues, and most treatments come with side effects.

There was a lot of variance in how doctors and nurses treated the side effects, how they spoke to the patient, what other resources they provided, the quality of bedside manner, their attentiveness to lab results and patient health over time, whether they consistently washed their hands, etc.

People don't really die "of cancer" they die of things like blood loss, toxic build up from renal failure, blood clots, or infections acquired in the hospital that attack a weakened immune system, to name a few.
From the website, it looks like you're taking a direct-to-consumer approach by selling a $250 device and a $15 monthly subscription service (Uber for blood testing!?).

Can you explain why you chose that go-to-market strategy? I don't know much about this market, but it seems non-traditional, to put it gently.
Go poke around: https://research.google.com/pubs/papers.html

You will see lots of custom stuff that Google does. There are many things that are better to outsource to 3rd parties, but many things are better in-house because the solutions just don't exist or they cost too much for the volume they need. Some examples:

Network routers for CLOS topology (there are pictures of some of the hardware): https://research.google.com/pubs/pub43837.html

Custom built SSDs (custom firmware/controller with a mix of flash chips from various vendors): https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/fast16/fast16...

Then you the TPU custom chip for running Tensorflow.

One difference is that Juicebox is still alive :P

Kidding aside, one feature I really like about Juicebox is that it will play songs that have been previously added to the queue. One problem I had with turntable.fm and plug.dj was that it required a lot of energy to keep the music going (you have to continually keep adding songs to the queue). On Juicebox, I can just join my room and I can enjoy music without too much hassle.

These are great recommendations, since I've never heard of the companies before :) I have a friend who recently joined Tempo Automation, who seem to be able to do this too.

Sadly it seems that while in the last year or two many new companies have entered this field yet, I personally haven't had much time to shop around and try anything but Oshpark. Exciting times though!

I'll often respond to a recruiter with "Does this position support remote work? I don't want to relocate." You know, on the off-chance I can land me one of those mythical work-from-home jobs.

Most of them don't even bother to write back.

Government policy should strongly fund the design and production of robots in the US as noted in the article. Factories run by robots still employ many people doing jobs that work alongside the robots and also in maintaining the robots. The later are going to be high paying, frequently vocational jobs that do not require a college education but with (relatively) high compensation.

You're implying that improved confidence is not a form of cognitive enhancement, when all anecdotal evidence would suggest the opposite.
Yeah… I downloaded but immediately uninstalled after wanting to connect and access data for my private repos. No thanks — I have multiple revenue-generating side projects that are developed on GitHub. I just couldn't get myself to push that authorize button. (I know this is partly on GitHub, but still.)
No, this is complete FUD, and disingenuous at best. What people who care are worried about is a repeat of what happened in Canada under the Harper government where the data was simply not available at all.

[edit] the difference is that it's not the administration or even the EPA that is putting it's reputation on the line if the data was manipulated, but the individual scientists themselves. No one with any sense believes that a scientist is going to fall on their sword and ruin their career just to make up some BS talking point that Trump can run with.

> most non-solicits are not enforceable in California

To clarify:

"Provisions preventing former employees from competing with their former employers by soliciting their customers (absent use of trade secrets) are...void... The law regarding agreements prohibiting an employee from soliciting employees from former employers, however, is far less clear at this point.

...

Provisions that outright bar the hiring of employees are likely to be found unenforceable in many circumstances and should generally be avoided. Where such provisions are used, they should be narrowly tailored, apply only to employees with whom the restrained individual works or becomes aware of during their employment, and/or make any hiring contingent on the payment of fixed sum liquidated damages.

Separately, non-solicitation agreements between employer and employee, like the one at issue in Loral, are likely permissible with the caveat that they should be limited in term and scope. The term of such provisions is typically limited to one or two years, and large employers should consider limiting the scope to employees that the individual worked with and/or became aware of during the individual’s employment."

Regarding Loral:

"The court noted that unlike a no-hire provision, the non-solicitation agreement 'only slightly affects’’ Loral employees, because they were not prevented from seeking employment by contacting [the defendant] – they were only affected insomuch as [the defendant] could not contact them."

TL;DR It sounds like Tesla's ex-employee broke his non-solicit by soliciting employees he worked with at Tesla.

Versioned URLs have a couple of drawbacks.

If I have asset.v0.js, asset.v1.js, asset.v2.js then I am exposing some useful information in the sequence of filenames.

It is also a bit harder to keep track of versions across systems. With hashes, you don't need to know what the last version number was - just what the hash of the current file is. If you have multiple build machines building multiple branches, keeping versions in-line is thing unto itself. I've had problems with versioning in the past where careless merges caused issues - that doesn't happen with hashes.

The main drawback with hashed asset names is it can be a bit more tricky to determine what assets are currently in use and which can be safely deleted.

> The recruiter clearly saw you have affection for your cat and was trying to be personable and pay respect to your late furry friend.

No, I don't think the recruiter clearly saw anything. It sounds like it was sloppily added bit of personalization that anyone who wasn't carelessly hasty would have avoided.

I mean, would you cold call someone for a job and casually throw in a mention of their mother's death (to be a bit more extreme)?
Could you elaborate? The Wiki page does not seem to mention any other case of radiation poisoning.

I started getting into weightlifting this past year, and doing deadlifts has always scared me.

I still do them, and try to do them with proper form, but it's always in the back of my mind that I might hurt my back due to the load.

Could you give me more detail on how you hurt your back? How heavy of a load was it? Was it during a deadlift?
It sounds like you think this is easy. I think you're underestimating the difficulty in protecting a large, diverse, fairly open online community. In the general case, this is an unsolved problem (see Twitter and Reddit).

I could easily see them spending half a million trying various things and not solving the problem. Or, more hopefully, they'll come up with some good ideas that will work elsewhere too.
"had me dying" is usually an expression meaning something equivalent to "rofl."

So it's fine to say you found a picture of the op's now deceased cat to be amusing and adorable, but maybe don't use the word "dying" in the context of a dead cat.
You've done almost nothing but post angry political boilerplate since we asked you to stop using HN primarily for political battle. We ban accounts that do that, regardless of their politics or the correctness of their views, because that's the only way to protect HN from being overrun with flamewars. The purpose of HN is the gratification of intellectual curiosity (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html), not war by other means, so please stop using it for the latter.
I completely agree. My experience was it started out well, and then the number of channels proliferates within an organization and before you know it you have 15 conversations going on in 15 different channels because creating channels is cheap and then you have direct person to person messages on top of that. It exponentiates pretty quickly. There seems to a real time expectation to Slack . Conversely I check email once an hour maybe.
The letters of most of the major figures of the time are publicly available, as are the newspapers of the era via Google Books and other free, online resources. I highly recommend reading as much as you can. That's a lot of reading, so if you want a shortcut, I'd recommend the book "American Aurora." It is essentially a selection of newspaper articles, Federalist and Democratic-Republican both, and letters, concatenated to form a narrative. You should, however, keep in mind that it is intentionally slanted towards the Democratic-Republicans.

> I feel like Washington is extremely venerated, which makes me a bit suspicious. It's not quite a cult of personality like Stalin but nobody's perfect.

The cult of personality around Washington was quite deliberately engineered and some of his contemporaries - some even nominally his friends - privately lamented that someone (in their eyes) so awful would be, for all ages, venerated as a great man and a hero, but they regarded it as necessary that the nasty infancy of the country would be glossed into something more noble. (I do think his contemporaries judged him too harshly, but things always look different centuries later.)
It didn't really come across that way, the choice of words in particular. Also remember, I had gone to the trouble of writing a blog post about my cat dying and it was (at the time) the most recent post on my site, that should have told her that it happened recently (or it was still raw enough that I had intentionally been not posting to my blog because I thought that bumping her off the front page would somehow disrespect her memory) and they also might have guessed that the cat this might not have been a case of the cat dying of old age considering it was entitled '1000 days of Kublai'.

Edit: wording
> I can't believe a half a million dollars is necessary to reduce harassment.

I can't believe they think half a million dollars is enough.

Wikipedia is pretty toxic, even now after years of concerted effort to de-toxify it.

I predict someone's going to launch this expensive thing; there are going to be about 750,000 words written about it across different wiki meta pages; some policies are going to be changed (with yet more meta discussion); and then the money is going to run out.

I mean, just look at "Mexican–American War" versus "Mexican-American War" -- that was 20,000 words just on that meta page. (There are easily 500,000 words, some at Arbcom, about - vs – on wikipedia).
After years of experimenting with every todo app under the sun, I've gone back to the trusty notebook and pen. I spend far less time faffing and more time doing what I'm supposed to be doing.

This looks great and I will definitely try it out asap. I currently work with https://github.com/aksonov/react-native-router-flux which also worked well in our case and covers most of our needs really well.
I work remotely from the rest of my team, and only started a few months ago. Often, I have quick questions or clarifications that I can't ask about in person, and need to ask over Slack. Sometimes I don't get responses for hours (meetings, busy, etc), which blocks me on my tasks for the rest of the day. I would be immensely less productive without reasonable latency back-and-forth.

I get needing time without distractions - but when your work is used / others are dependent on it, how do you tradeoff that support?

Well, the recruiting process is a funnel.

You will not have a big output at the end of the funnel if the input isn't big itself.

So they want as much people as possible going through that process. Each step needs to be cost-efficient enough as well.

Religion is the only place where you'll find people arguing that a zygote is a human, so I'll say it's impossible to make the argument without religion.
I don't want to heap the blame entirely on him. Other people I work with also hold the opinion that emails should be responded to as soon as possible, so he has support. It's all relative, and they certainly pay me well enough for the trouble.
The Amazon.com front page generating code is a proof relating some properties of its output to its input and that it halts. However it's also basically incomprehensible, so I doubt anyone alive could actually tell you precisely what it's proving.

Your ability to prove something in any language is dependent on having a formal semantic for that language, or at least for a cognitively manageable subset that you're willing to restrict yourself to. The language semantics and memory model serve as axioms.

Given how American programmers are trained, it's not realistic to expect them to be able to think of programs in a logical semantic way. There is something of an art to it and it's hard to learn a new way of thinking when you're satisfied with a way you already have.

I agree that you can have an enjoyable hobby or make a living programming without really understanding what you're doing beyond intuitively and that's totally fine. Computing time is cheap and most applications don't cause any great harm when they behave in unintended ways. However the isomorphism between predicate calculus and computer programming isn't subjective. Programs really are proofs, just some of them are very sloppy.
Could you elaborate a bit on why it was much better?

Yes, they didn't like attacks, but "their influence on local politics" goes right into the "change" that I was mentioning that Al-Qaida was fighting against.

I find it really interesting that modern CPUs are designed for "interrupt coalescing," where they group interruptions into clusters. It’d be great if modern desktop/mobile OSes were designed for that: "Only notify me once every 5/10/30/60 minutes, but then tell me everything."

The drug company can walk away from the negotiation. Either party can say no. That's the difference between coercion and negotiation.

I don't think there exists a reliable yardstick of brilliance. For example IQ tests do not and are not capable of assessing creativity, a trait I would strongly argue is a necessary component of brilliance.

You are free to assume whatever you like about my motives, and you can claim it's moving the goalposts if you like: There's also a racial bias in IQ test performance. Would you therefore argue that e.g. black people are less brilliant than whites? Or Asians?
In 2012 I wrote my first Wikipedia article on the 50-person startup I was working for at the time. I didn't include anything overly self-promoting, just the basic facts and referenced some news articles. My article was immediately nominated for deletion and a number of community members accused me of being a "single purpose account", i.e. not interested in contributing, just advertising. Needless to say I did not go on to create/edit more articles after a welcome like that.

A couple of editors did come to my defence. I got the impression there was a lot of internal conflict about this sort of thing.
