It's sad and unfortunate that considering the progress we've made as humans, that those in power are utterly afraid of the truth. It makes me ashamed to be a human being sometimes for this reason. We won't progress or 'evolve' unless this fact changes.

Brightness Slider. It's not perfect but it lets me adjust my monitor brightness.

Ironically a cheap Chromebox could do it for the same monitor using brightness buttons on the keyboard just as my MBP does with its screen.
I don't make as much money as I would like, I think it's partly because I need some help on the growth hacking side. (I'm looking for some one that might be interested in growth hacking)

But I created http://Bestoftheinternets.com/Deals which using the amazon API looks for significant price changes in products to help consumers find deals on amazon products.

Revenue slowly coming along, but for me as a programmer I got a reason to teach myself some server side nodejs. Eventually I would like to roll it over to angular 2 so I can get some angular 2 experience and hopefully make some money!
Yes you can convey information much more objective than today. For example, on the more recent migration ban story:

"The White House has announced today at 7h30, through speaker ..., a piece of legislation that, quote: ~first paragraph summary of the legislation~.

You can read the full text here.

On the opinion of Bla bla, this legislation is innefective etc etc.

Disclaimer: Bla bla is not related to any of the mentioned organizations, though he declares he tends to agree with the opinion of former president Obama on most issues. You can read more about this commenter here."
What you're saying is anedoctal. Ultimately, Fox News were the few news organizations that knew that Trump was going to win by a landslide. Every other news organization were all singing that Hillary had a 99% chance of a victory (I'm not being hyperbolic with the 99%).
Hiring Lessons Learned from Growing a Team
Again, you've put your own tone on things.

"It also keeps a sense of professionalism as it's clear that no blame is being assigned" is not the same as "you guys acted unprofessionally!". It's letting the GitLab guys know there's a potential problem with the communication style at that point in the story.

I find it funny that in a comments section full of comments about allowing a frank learning experience you're being so down on someone giving tips to consider learning from.
Another good alternative is WPS Office Free. It looks better than Libre Office and Microsoft Office IMO and is very lightweight in terms of memory and storage space. The download weighs in at about 73MB and it's available for Linux and Windows.

Source? I harvest my own wild yeast, order interesting samples from boutique yeast labs, and am involved in communities dedicated to this sort of thing, and as such, have also read mountains of research. All the research I've read, all of the things I've brewed, and all of the people I've spoken to that do this say quite the opposite.

Fruit pectin can be broken down into methanol, but it creates tiny amounts. You're talking like 20 to 200mg per liter.
No, there is a level of competency where once you make mistakes below that, firing is the right move.

If a surgeon keeps killing patients because he keeps forgetting to wash his hands, then he needs to be fired.

If a developer skips all company policies and deploys directly to production without a good reason, then he needs to be fired.

There are reasonable mistakes, then there are errors resulting from wreckless actions indicative of a larger problem with the person's view towards their work.
Exactly. Bannon isn't tossing Wolf Blitzer in jail for saying something bad about the administration. Lesser journalists aren't just disappeared off the streets and never seen again.

Amateur, by standards of suppressing the media.

I didn't think to eyeball the graph to guesstimate how long the 4GB translated to, so thanks.

However, scale was the wrong word for what I was wondering about. My question should've been whether 1% of your total DB/10 minutes of replication lag seems reasonable/nothing to worry about, like the article suggested.
Java has an incredible range of libraries, often of very high quality. You have to manually install the dependency piece in the form of Maven (http://maven.apache.org/), or if you're doing Clojure, Leiningen (https://leiningen.org/). The total number of artifacts in the main archive, Maven Central (http://search.maven.org/#stats) is ~1.8M.
From their blog post,

> So in other words, out of 5 backup/replication techniques deployed none are working reliably or set up in the first place. We ended up restoring a 6 hours old backup.

That must be _terrifying_ to realize. I mean, thank goodness they had a 6 hour old back up or they'd be in such an awful spot.
This is bullshit. You forgot to control for so many factors.

1) These numbers are not for same jobs. Men and women choose to study in different fields, and end up working in different fields.

2) Men work longer hours

3) Men take fewer sick days

4) Men negotiate salaries better

5) Men take on more dangerous jobs

I don't object to people disagreeing with me politically. Yes, the "worship the Clintons and Democratic party" part is a bit tongue-in-cheek. Are you sure your own political position isn't blinding you?

I do object when those who disagree with me politically smear my side, or even anyone on their side who doesn't agree with them enthusiastically enough, as racist, sexist, bigot, homophobe, ignorant, redneck, while they claim to be the most intelligent people in the world and the sole source of compassion and tolerance.

I'm happy to have a reasonable discussion with anyone who has at least put some thought into their position and doesn't devolve to slinging insults around when they see facts they don't like.
Feedback to those applying: We scheduled a phone interview but got ghosted (no emails or replies as to what happened)
Anything not enforceable shouldn't be in the contract in the first place. The only purpose of contracts is to enforce earlier promises when people don't agree anymore.
Clojure is heavy, or at least it has high start times. Some of that is the JVM start, but parsing and compiling a large amount of Clojure code system-wide is more of a burden than, say, CPython.
This is both amazing and a bit unnerving.
Readability is a browser feature that extracts the text of a website and displays it in a pre-defined, easy to read way. Safari calls this feature “Reader”[1].

Maybe we will determine in the distant future that aging is related to gravity? :)
How about a challenge to try and educate people better, to get them "immunized" against propaganda and fake news?

We need more cynical takes on things.

It's utterly appalling that on one side we have right-wing extremists yelling "FAKE NEWS" about CNN because CNN might get something wrong one time in ten, implying it's no different than Breitbart or Fox News which are wrong nine times in ten, and on the other we have left-leaning people beating up CNN for making mistakes and suggesting their trust is completely eroded.

News organizations offer a view. You should be prepared to vet everything you read from anyone. We need to give people a toolkit to help verify stories, to develop their bullshit instinct.
Pretty Awesome

Keep it up guys, I'll join the meetups!
I was fired from my journalism job ten days into new administration
All remote locations are welcome.
Whether or not I agree with the premise of Cambridge Analytics's services directly leading to the Trump campaign emotionally manipulating loads of disparate groups into electing him, it's alarming how easy it is to conceive of someone intentionally doing such a thing at such a scale.

YC made a request for startups targeting news and democracy the other day. I'd like to propose additional underlying unmet societal needs:

Emotional resiliency & nonviolent communication.
I would argue that presenting one (obviously biased) view as the ground truth would qualify as distortion. For example, consider how Fox reports news regarding separating religion from public, tax-funded institutions, such as removing the 10 commandments from schools, as infringements on religious freedom.

Of course, liberal news organizations distort the truth as well.
Have you considered looking at it with a profiler? Some relevant tools: jconsole, YourKit, jmh...
Do you honestly think that, had Trump been the president during Snowden's NSA revelations, The Intercept would have continued to sit on 90% of the documents that still haven't been released?
Also in Safari, it's the little 3-line icon in the URL bar.
> That's a huge loss of face for java IMHO

Because the JVM JIT, like every other compiler, sucks at developing vectorized algorithms ad-hoc; a task usually carried out by human experts in that?
You're right, for example ID 7 is a question, linked to proposal ID 4 - and you can't even iterate over the IDs to get a count, since it appears they delete the questions with the proposals, but list the deleted URL as a proposal.

Obama's inability to get much done can be, objectively, attributed largely to an obstructionist Congress. While not wholly to blame, it certainly both slowed his agenda, and often caused him to gut key provisions from legislation in order to get it ultimately passed. Looking at initial drafts of the Affordable Care Act early in its history versus what ultimately passed Congress is a depressing reminder of how willing Democratic partisans are willing to compromise their values in terms of playing ball with an enemy team whose explicit, stated, and recorded goal was paraphrased to "Take the other side's ball and go home."

While many bills have unintended consequences and side effects, these are often not recognized at the time. Pointing out the negative consequences for people who have already passed American vetting procedures, preventing access to persons already in flight when it passed, detaining persons in airports immediately, and the failure of the bill to provide any tangible benefits as far as anti-terrorism measures are concerned were hardly unforeseen. These were immediately pointed out by security professionals.

I am still of the hopeful and optimistic opinion that Trump does not use his "very lean and agile approach" to unilaterally void NAFTA and impose a 20% fee on Mexican imports, as just the foreseeable consequences of that action are far reaching, negative, and highly deleterious to the United States' reputation internationally. The unforeseen consequences? The economic fallout that we cannot immediately predict? If they are mere extensions of what we already can see, I am afraid.
We like to think we live in a world with one set of rules. But of course we live in a world with multiple sets of rules, one for if you're a billionaire, one for if you're a racial minority, one for...
I really hope you are right. The tooling around F# is the only reason it doesn't explode in popularity.

If Microsoft starts to treat it as a first class citizen with respect to their .NET Core direction, then the future is very bright.
It's not about getting it hot enough.

Surface mount soldering requires a careful temperature profile. You first preheat to about 50C below the melting point of solder for about two minutes. Then, the temperature is raised to above the reflow point and held there for about 20 seconds, which is when the soldering takes place. It's easy to damage the components at this point; many components have a maximum temperature tolerance of only 30 seconds at reflow temperature.[1] Then there's a cool-down period. There are ramp rate limitations - heating up too fast causes solvent "pops" in the flux, and heating up too slowly cooks the components. Cooling too fast causes cracks in the solder; cooling too slowly cooks the components. A brick kiln would have too much thermal mass for all those controlled temperature changes.

Once it's all tuned and controlled properly, it works great as a cheap production process. The commercial systems work like a hamburger cooker at Burger King - there's a chain conveyor and several zones of different temperature through which the product passes. Once one of those ovens is warmed up and stabilized, it produces consistent results. It's doing this on one-offs that's hard.

Leaded soldering is about 2x more tolerant of temperature variations than lead-free.

I'm excited to ask Mazer Rackham when he returns.
First, tell me the numbers for electoral votes. I would consider that a landslide.

Second, Obama's birth certificate was forged[1]. I'm not saying he wasn't born in America, but anyone with Photoshop and how layers work knows that the document was doctored.

It's a fair point. Lots of documentation pages or company blogs don't link to the company's main website, and it's super annoying.

Both have different uses. Seconds behind is useful to see how critical this is to the user (they see outdated data), data behind tells you about load and let's you guess how much time is required for catching up
Without disagreeing with you that politics brings out the worst in people; how do you propose our government should operate without civic engagement? Which feedback mechanisms would government have to determine what its people are looking for?
Assets minus liabilities doesn't capture the full picture.

If a poor person in the US has a $3000 car they might be poorer on paper than a middle class Singaporean who takes the bus but the latter would have to spend $100k to enjoy the same transportation lifestyle as the former.

Similar for things like detached houses and takeout food which are basic in the US but luxury items in most of the rest of the world.

You'll notice so many posts here that deny the existence of fake news, or attempt to redefine it as "bias."

Frankly, I find it disturbing that so many well educated people aren't able to objectively think about an actually objective problem.

The fake news that started the concept of "fake news" is not a subjective problem. The problem is literal invention of facts not even related to reality, combined with the mass distribution of those invented facts. It is a problem of mass deception.

The classic example: Millions of people shared a post saying the Pope endorsed Donald Trump.

This is objectively false. It's not about liberal vs. conservative. It's not about whether it fits your worldview or not. It simply isn't true.

During the election there were so many literally false stories that got a very large amount of attention.

That is the problem. And yet, so many people seem to think it is a political issue.

It's a sad world we live in where even objective facts no longer matter.

I think that is why so many people are terrified of the direction things are headed.

Civil disobedience is not a zero-sum game, and there are huge network effects in people protesting, striking, etc.

This happens all the time with people unused to protest. "Protests doesn't do anything", "Other things are more efficient", "Their demands are vague", "People should work on making policy instead of protesting", etc.

Network effects, people, network effects.

As much as that's true today, I have no idea what tomorrow brings. They've already terminated a high-level judge for obstructing the administration. What if they "detain" a reporter for "leaking classified information"? What if Manning-like detention becomes the norm for those that speak out?

I'm extremely concerned that in the next few weeks the President will appear with generals flanking him at some big military event and he'll make some incoherent speech about something or other and, at a quick glance, you might not be able to tell him from Muammar Gaddafi.

Once he crosses that line there's no telling what will happen. There are too many utterly terrifying historical examples to draw on.
