I think perhaps, you want to not do this in the future.

Incident reports are about focusing on the "what" and "when" not the "who". This is not about taking responsibility (you don't need to be published on the internet to do that) and you can always have a follow up post after the incident report has been published as a "what I learned during incident X".

While it's great you're OK with publishing your name, you've now set a precedent that says it's OK to do this to other developers. A blanket policy on keeping names out of the incident report protects others who may not be as willing to get their name of HN (as well as not having to make amendments or retractions if the initial assumptions are incorrect). It also keeps a sense of professionalism as it's clear that no blame is being assigned.
I know that you guys are not assigning blame, but if I was to show this to someone outside of this discussion, they'd assume that it was a fingerpointing exercise, which does not reflect well on Gitlab.
I don't understand your comment. I am saying you should have updated SO and updated apps. Apple is in charge to update the SO and the app developers to update their apps.
Finally!! I've been saying for years that Google Cloud is technically superior to AWS but can't capture the enterprise because they don't have the sales team that enterprises need. I'm excited to see you grow your team.
>... being unable to hold your temper ...

I didn't mean to suggest the candidate should launch into a tirade or anything, just that the indignation would ideally be evident yet subtle.

>If you can't handle this, how are you going to handle it when someone bluntly calls one of your designs terrible?

The flip side of this is that candidates who find nothing wrong with the question are far more likely to not mete out such critiques. The last thing you want is your organization rotting from within because nobody's speaking their mind.
FinMason | System Administrator (Junior to Midlevel) | Boston MA | ONSITE | Full-Time

We are a fintech startup in downtown Boston. This position is responsible for operation, maintenance, provisioning, and installation/configuration of systems hardware and software and related infrastructure.

Must be comfortable with Linux and AWS, and be a quick learner.

Collective Health, ( https://collectivehealth.com/jobs/ ), San Francisco (very near caltrain), CA (Full time, ONSITE only, VISA case-by-case, see below)

We're replacing health insurance with a system that members love. Using our SW, platform and services, an employer can pay doctors directly, saving a ton of money and making the employee experience amazing (with the testimonials to back it up). The company is well-funded, ~two and a half years old and growing very rapidly with sales traction. We punch well above our weight-class with experienced founders, ~250 team members (~ one quarter is engineering), and paying customers.

Our tech stack is a mix of Go and Java components with Angular on the front end. We use a custom service bus to tie our SOA together, microservices style. We love Docker, CoreOS, postgres, automated testing, and continuous integration. We've got some neat in-house tools for service discovery, health checks, cluster setup and deploy and more.

As a company, we're strong believers in transparency, trust and balance. As an engineering team, we believe good code is easy to read and should have a short "time to understanding". We expect all of our engineers to continually teach as well as learn. We also believe that everyone should write good code, yet balance that against the need to ship.

We've got a ton of interesting problems to solve around distributed systems, data analytics and predictions, complex data modeling, ultra high-availability, security, privacy and more.

We're currently looking for experienced SW engineers up and down the stack. Our biggest needs are DevOps and Backend Engineers. All open jobs: http://grnh.se/8f7q15

If you are non-technical, but are interested in experiencing a hyper-growth startup, we also are hiring for sales, business development and other roles as well. If you care about such things, we were flattered/embarrassed to be highlighted as one of fifty potential next unicorns by the nytimes: http://nyti.ms/1JLKaCT

We're super proud of the company mission, engineering culture and tech stack we've put together and would love a chance to explain it all in detail!

*VISA minutiae: We can transfer H1B visas. We can sponsor TN & H1B1 visas in most cases. If you have another existing visa, we can probably transfer it.
As long as Google still puts Russia Today and plenty of other sites of questionable plumage on display this is a futile effort. It only works if the big names in news aggregation start by culling the worst offenders.
Sugar taxes are definitely planned in many places and if it was as easy to tax sugar as it is to tax nicotine then I'd be all for it - in principle. I oppose them only because they are arbitrary and vague.

In many countries with VAT there is a reduced VAT for "food" (typically ~half the general VAT) and it wouldn't be unreasonable to categorize candy and soda as "not food", effectively doubling the tax.
Don't see any internship listings at that link, can you point me in the right direction on applying for an internship?
No I think he means... Articles that are not sourced (citations, reports, interviews, journals).... etc have a higher likelihood of being false, than those that do.

Mainstream news orgs tend to be better about including citations, and sources. They are also better about publishing retractions, when they are caught saying something factually wrong.
Using "reputation" alone is a dangerous and naive standard -- the most powerful form of "fake news" is the selection/omission of stories and crafting of narratives around those stories, which is just as prevalent on "real news" sources like WaPo/CBS/CNN/NYT as it is on Fox/Breitbart and even 'fringe' sources.

With the issue of opinions derived from factual events, which fit the bill of being 'misleading' (to some groups, at least) -- how do you draw the line? The NYT is certainly not exempt from that (see: half of Paul Krugman's articles).

The only thing you can possibly check for with any reliability is the validity of the base, source event, if there is one. Any higher derivation in the wrong hands (Facebook, for example) is systemic censorship. How can we safely do that? Recursive link tracking, perhaps, to a "primary source," which relies on the AI matching the factual claim to an appropriate source, either a video, image, or text that can be considered the legitimate source based on context (for example, an article about Apple's earnings could link to a primary source of their press release).
Due to the tax treaty between Canada and the US you'll get tax credits in the US for Canadian taxes paid that would offset the US taxes in most cases.
Clojure on the JVM is way worse than java...but the JVM only contributes to a tiny portion of that. The real problem is that every clojure process has to bootstrap the entire language and compile every library before it can begin executing.

I never did the column layout, but I knew about the bit flips for control and shift from both Tom Scott's video on reading ASCII, and from reading about the Meta key.
Do you actually have that web page with photos of flowers? Now I want to see them!
Probably because the trump subreddit does that super annoying "Upvote this post so that people see CNN when they search for fake news!" thing every few weeks.
Hi I'm part of the RunKit team and am happy to answer any questions!
The choice of C++ is responsible for only a very small part of the performance difference. ScyllaDB uses different low-level algorithms, many of which could have been done in Java as well. That the Cassandra data model works well with the sequential processing approach of Seastar makes the effort of implementing in C++ manageable. In general, concurrent data structures in C++ require significantly more effort than in Java, and rarely yield performance improvements that are worth it, unless you're memory-bound. In sequential code it's easier to surpass Java's performance, but even that difference is diminishing (and expected to be dramatically reduced when value types are added to the JVM). Usually, the only significant overhead you must be prepared to pay is in RAM, and in exchange you get better performance-per-effort.
Clinton was predicted to win which really hurt her turnout. She was also relatively unpopular as her numbers would often drop after a personal apearance.

While she won the popular vote by 3 or so million people, trump's message was very targeted to areas that mattered. A republican with the slogan 'your fired' ended up being the pro worker candidate in many areas. That takes very skillful image manipulation and a gullible electorate.

PS: Don't forget he was predicted to have around a 40% win chance. That's far from negligible despite what people where thinking.
Love that this opens with "Whitey on Mars." Total trash. Keep this garbage off of HN please.
Is anyone else put off by this obsession with "solving" fake news? As if we can simply throw technology at such a contentious and controversial issue and then trust the results. It reads to me like the goal is censorship, where only "approved" articles/authors are allowed, all in the name of "fact checking". Never mind that it's incredibly easy to cherry-pick facts or exaggerations to target "offensive" articles (by both/all sides).
No. Blink is, in fact, a fork of WebCore (which is WebKit minus JavaScriptCore).

Covering Trump the Reuters Way
How about a 'subjectiveness' ranking instead, with notations for "unable to find link to a source of factual claims"? That's the best we could ever safely do, and we would likely find interesting results (WaPo might be labeled more subjective than Fox News, for example, even though both would generally have low numbers of notations for 'unable to find link to source of factual claim').

As I said in another post: The only thing you can possibly check for with any reliability is the validity of the base, source event, if there is one. Any higher derivation in the wrong hands (Facebook, for example) is systemic censorship. How can we safely do that? Recursive link tracking, perhaps, to a "primary source," which relies on the AI matching the factual claim to an appropriate source, either a video, image, or text that can be considered the legitimate source based on context (for example, an article about Apple's earnings could link to a primary source of their press release).

Regardless, the most dangerous form of "fake news" is by the selection/omission of stories, and that seems pretty impossible to quantify with today's technology (and of course the most prevalent on all of our 'real news' sources).
I have an economics degree, but feel I've learned more from his shareholder's letters than 4 years of university. So I too recommend them.

The letters starting from 1995 can be consulted at http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/reports.html.

They are also available in book form 'Berkshire Hathaway Letters to Shareholders', starting from 1965 (with the early partnership letters).

Charlie Munger's Wesco Letters to Shareholders are also interesting, especially the early ones:

Wittgenstein wasn't around when a president used Twitter to both control the media and get elected.

Maybe news could rely on first principles approach. Quantify things like political stability, information availability, cultural problems, etc. and maybe apply a first principles approach and maybe an algorithm could tell use what the hell is going on at any given moment and maybe give us some insight into what may go on in the future as well.

I would assume intelligence agencies have something similar to the above. The problem is things happen in realtime and if a regime falls or a state fails or whatever, we have to adjust our models immediately.

Throwing out hands up and saying Wittgenstein solved it seems lazy but idk.
They want to have more control over the database and moving providers etc., which is why they're not using RDS, as was explained on the live stream.
Interestingly, the author does not touch startup times.

Frankly, for server-side loads, no-one cares how much your runtime weights, be it disk space, download size and even memory (heck, my last project required developer workstations with at least 96GB).

There are all sorts of environments where that matters. And that's one of the reasons why Clojure didn't catch on on Android.

Parse Adobe After Effects Animations Exported as JSON to Use in React Native
As far as I can tell, this is a serious project that's likely to have sincere community interest. They define the problem in concrete terms and have created a framework to objectively measure the success of submitted solutions.

When we start with something substantive like this and take it straight up to generic ideological soundbites, we cheat ourselves of the kind of intellectually interesting discussion that we might've had instead.
Principles to guide the development of Artificial Intelligence by researches
Surprisingly, the fact that the screen is so close to the keyboard makes me see the keyboard and mess up totally my touch typing in Dvorak as my printed layout on the laptop is a standard US Qwerty. And this is not that I cannot really touch type, right now I am in the dark and I cannot see my hands (the keyboard is below the main plate of my desk).

This just see a little of the keyboard effect is surprising and may be one reason why some people have some difficulties starting with Dvorak if they do it on a Qwerty printed keyboard.
After a couple of crashes, I uninstalled mine.
So I want to like libreoffice, but its really terribly maintained. features come and go, practically at whim.

For instance, custom motion paths seem to come and go at whim (still not fixed in 5.3, and as this bug shows has been a recurring problem)

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76916

It's hard to rely on it when basic functionality constantly breaks.
Fake news, aka news that doesn't fit my agenda
I agree it's confusing, but from my reading I think they're talking about a different kind of security than what you describe.

It's more like this: you and I have some process we're collaborating on, and we both have an interest in getting accurate outputs from some kind of computation related to that process. But the only way to get really accurate outputs is to feed in proprietary, "secret" data from both your company and mine, and while we both have an interest in those outputs, neither of us wants to share our proprietary data with the other.

This solves that problem by letting us each put our data into our own Excel workbook, mine visible only to me and yours only to you, and then get the output of some mutually-agreed-upon calculation using both of our inputted data, without ever seeing the numbers the other party put into their workbook. So if you and I can agree on formulas that would provide the outputs we want, and I trust you to enter accurate data on your end and you trust me on mine, we can now do a lot of interesting analysis without ever having to open our respective kimonos, as the saying goes (http://www.npr.org/sections/codeswitch/2014/11/02/360479744/...).

I have no idea how well it actually works, or how secure the data flowing between the workbooks actually is. But it's an interesting idea!
