dont you think at some point the optimul remix of Roman History 101 University lecture clips, might exist, and then it becomes a process improvement task to make it a little better all the time, rather than constanly recreating a nearly similar lecture for each school.

I really believe forking is important. People might disagree with concensus and have a better way to do things that is looked down upon by the mass. One curriculum for all sounds like every egg in one basket.

This article's title is total clickbait BS. This has NOTHING to do with table layout or tabular data.
I've googled this subject a number of times over the years and this seems to be the most thorough answer. Thanks for providing it!

However, for a small startup (like mine), I think it's still a bit too much work to get this working. I know that there aren't any other "automated" options out there anyway. Perhaps one day. :)
I think the real question is this.

Why do so many prefer the walled garden? Sure, many will easily dismiss them as "stupid" but this can't surely be the case. iPhone owners make up about 43% of smart phone users according to CNN (Take it for what you will).

I don't have an answer, but I think it's worth asking the question.

A couple things you should do, if you want to have better discussions:

First, you should stop quoting pg's essays as though they were infallible sources of truth. It's not helping your argument. I like some of his essays; others are misleading or dead wrong (for example: http://idlewords.com/2005/04/dabblers_and_blowhards.htm). Empirical evidence always beats philosophical pondering; shawn-furyan provided data that pg was wrong, and you did nothing but post another data-free essay.

Second, you should stop assuming your ideological opponents are idiots who don't understand simple concepts like growth of wealth. We do; of course it is possible to "grow the pie". But since the 1970's, the majority of GDP growth has translated to income gains only for the top decile. And in such a regime, why should everyone else bother to grow the pie? What income inequality has done is create people who make a rational, and perfectly valid, calculation that "growth" is pointless and not worth fighting for, since they won't see any of it.

Not really, here's a different example where locking would not help you with file streams. You expect all streams to be flushed on exit() but I can't think of a unix-like that handles at_exit(_exit); correctly then, correctly in the sense that the streams no longer get flushed. In fact I have used this feature to prevent that flushing on exit() ;)

The article mentions a similar tournament that occurred last year where the human players won against the AI. Accomplishing this turn-around in the span of a year seems like quick progress to me, and also impressive. It is certainly a link in the sequence to more autonomously adaptive AI. So, while what you say might be logically true, following the progress of AI would indicate that this specific outcome is, in fact, pretty cool. Whether or not you are impressed by it is up to you, but it is progress.

You seem to be assuming that salaries are based only on scarcity. This is of course wrong - they also are based on available budgets. If there's nobody to hire for available money, the result may be not more money offered, but less startups surviving. Startup can be hugely successful - but more likely it would be wasted money. Salary floor means more money wasted, means higher risk, means less startups. Or at least less startups located in the jurisdiction having price floors.

The Ledger is designed to plug into an untrusted PC, that's the whole point. It's running secure hardware and never reveals the private key. It also has a display that tells you how much you're sending and to what address, so you're protected even if you have spyware that attempts to spoof those parameters.

According to Yubikey, "All YubiKey NEO devices manufactured as of February 10, 2015 supported the current FIDO U2F specification for NFC."

Maybe you have an older device? Or, if you have an iPhone, it's Apple that's the problem, since it restricts NFC to Apple's own payment system. With Android, NFC is available to any app.
This is the problem for me. I want an organization that will fight for my second amendment rights but that also isn't advancing a secondary agenda that I disagree with.

I don't think my city's tax on gun and ammo sales is an effective or constitutional measure and I want to support organizations that will fight that type of measure.

I did not support Obama's "common sense" ban on gun sales to people on the no-fly list because I don't believe the no-fly list itself is constitutional.

I do want to take steps to reduce gun violence in America but my current choices on the political front are either ineffective and/or unconstitutional laws from the left or a complete unwillingness to even try from the right.

I do not support Jeff Sessions for Attorney General because I think the entire bill of rights is valuable and applies to everyone and I don't think he will uphold it effectively.
Hyperloop pod competition yields a few outstanding models, tunnel announcement
Sure, it's dead simple for one particular semantic case already with its own specific definition in HTML. But you cherry-picked that from my examples. HTML doesn't express semantics for comment-replies or sports scores or so on. It has a generic notion of a hierarchical tree, to which CSS can apply layout (like indentation for HN comments), but that's not quite the same thing. Nothing in the HTML-CSS stack expresses general-purpose semantic relationships and we tend to make an inner-system-effect mess of it when we try.

Just more asshurt invective from everyone's least favorite ex-Gawker reject.

Hey William Turton, it wasn't too progressive for Gawker to out Peter Thiel and to run stolen personal footage of Terry Bollea under the guise of journalism, so how about you get off your high horse right now?

Edit: And now the topic is flagged.
Your isp can still see the websites you visit, and using other analysis you can track what you're doing on the site. The point of the comment was to just be aware that you cant hide. (especially from govs).

Chrome has lots of background services that ping home, just another thing to be aware of when you're trying to be anonymous. Using an alt browser can reduce the tracking, but yes obviously it creates a larger fingerprint, blending in plain sight is sometimes better than being too private.

One of the best things I recommend though would be Privacy Badger from the EFF, and ublock origin. Those will block google analytics and TONS of other tracks, and it seems pretty common so it leaves a tiny fingerprint imo.

Everything might take sometime to setup, but once you're in the flow and figure it all out, privacy can be seamless.

> and almost never sponsor a green card

> to require higher wages if more than 20% of the employees are on visa

This is the sort of change I'd like to see. H-1B should be a stepping-stone to offering citizenship to skilled workers who want it. (Regardless of original intent - it's both practical and moral for the US to do this.) The possibility of creating a perpetual pool of visa contractors is one of my main complaints, and I'd like to see more visa slots opened to companies willing to pay well and sponsor for green cards.

> This is a misconception.

Interesting context, thank you. I knew about the change of employer (I think that's common knowledge?) but I'd heard horror stories of people being told, basically, "shut up or we'll fire you right now and you'll have an employment gap". Or just being fired outright, to show other visa employees how little bargaining power they had.

I didn't know about the 2017 allowance for employment gaps. That's awesome news, and that change specifically is one I've wanted to see for a while.

As for your experience, I'm glad it worked out, but I do consider it a horrible problem with the visa system. Forcing people to leave the country during their application process is stupid (and harmful to anyone short on money), it worsens problems like the recent re-entry ban Trump enacted, and it's a bit delicate with actual legal status; losing legal status here can have consequences almost immediately if someone cares to enforce them.

More broadly, I hate how much of the US visa system involves getting lucky with paperwork, or having an administrator look the other way. I'm glad to know about the 60 day improvement, and I'd love to see further extensions to allow easier green card access or student-to-work rollovers.
Improving B2B lead scoring with nuclear physics
We should keep in mind as well that the campaigns play the game they are given -- to maximize electoral votes. There is an opportunity cost (the popular vote) to only campaigning in the swing states.

For example, a large number of Hillary's popular vote was claimed in California. Trump didn't campaign much in California. One could argue if Trump spent more time in California (which he strategically did not), Hillary's popular vote lead wouldn't be as high.

I think its culturally important that Trump didn't get the popular vote, but it's also a little like playing a game of chess, losing, and then decrying "but I took more pawns!"

That wasn't the agreed upon rules of the game.

Seriously though, we did a lot of testing with names with real customers and also with a brand agency called Koto (the team behind Airbnb's new work - https://www.studiokoto.co/). We didn't want to call ourselves "online code school dot com" or some SEO-bullshitty name and we found that our customers preferred a name that's not like that too, so it goes back to talking to your customers and seeing what they like and dislike. We found customers remembered our name more and could find us with the dot-com domain.

The HN audience isn't one that we promote to because our customers are designers and creative industry professionals, so I'm not really bothered about promoting what we do on here. I'm more bothered about our customers liking what we do. I'm just trying to be active in the HN community.

I don't see the problem there, when that one particular soup kitchen, for various reasons, has several other support unions which are dedicated exclusively to supporting that soup kitchen, and ignore all the other ones.

It makes perfect sense that the "soup kitchen support union" would then concentrate all their efforts on the other 7 soup kitchens which don't get nearly as much support.

So tell me this: what should she have done if she believed the EO, as applied, would be unconstitutional?

You ask a reasonable hypothetical, but I don't think it matches the circumstances here. If Yates felt that she could not in good faith enforce the order because it was unconstitutional, I think she would have been very clear about this in her memo: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2017/01/30/us/document-L...

Instead, while not ruling out unconstitutionality, she pointed to the "broader" responsibility she feels the leader of the Department of Justice should have. I thought she said quite clearly (for a lawyer) that although she was uncertain whether the order was legal, her refusal was because she judged the order to be unjust and unwise. Personally, I greatly respect her differentiation between "constitutional" and "right".
Perhaps this is the point where you talk about your name origin (which is cool) rather than setting yourself up to be perceived as one of those dickhead founders?
Consistency in which app to use, the experience in using it, payment handling, insurance, customer service, and driver vetting. All of these offer value individually and in their consistency across locations.

You're right! It's absolutely possible that every driver may embrace Libre Taxi. In which case there would be no advantage whatsoever in terms of consistency.
>> Why is it a bad thing?

Because it achieves NOTHING. If the goal is to help those affected, the ONLY way to do that is by engaging with the administration. The only way you can engage with this particular administration is by not shitting all over it no matter what it does. This is what Musk is attempting to do. What the protesters are doing is ACTIVELY HARMFUL to that goal, because it makes softening of the restrictions politically unfeasible.

On the other hand if the goal is to show each other how "progressive" you are, sure, go ahead and block the airports, burn effigies, beat and torture Trump supporters, etc. But don't act all surprised when this leads to nothing of consequence.

I'd just like to point out the requirement for a family sponsor visa is 5x the poverty rate. At a minimum you currently need to make $100k annual salary.

Also, family sponsored visas don't come out of the same quota pool as other visas so your statements are functionally irrelevant to this topic.

Multiverse isn't just an ancient idea. It's the center piece of pre-modern philosophy.

Bruno and Leibniz were arguing from the plenitude principle. The principle asserts "the universe contains all possible forms of existance". The idea is introduced by Plato's ontology from which everything after is arguably a derivative.[1]

I'm happy to debate whether the topic is appropriate for HN, but that requires at least bilateral application of intellect.

Even in SF not exactly everybody makes that much. And note that SF is in California, which is a high-tax state. So the cost of $130k salary is much higher than that (and you get to actually keep quite less than that). And SF specifically has long been gunning for levying additional payroll tax on top of that.
Video Game University
I'm surprised that Andrew Ng made this claim. The strategy that was built for Libratus' predecessor did not do sophisticated modeling of the opponents, or use new algorithmic principles.

Poker is solved using a very large game tree, just as with the other games. The structure of the tree is modified to support the notion of hidden state, but beyond that it is essentially the same as the other games. The structure for representing hidden nodes was developed in the 1950s by Von Neumann. Most of the algorithmic innovations related to how to update the game tree.

My guess is that the primary innovation for the Libratus strategy was that of scale.
>So if you ordered something of dubious legality, and your top corporate lawyer suggested it was unlikely to pass a trial, you would just sack them and ask the next one the same thing again?

At no point have I said I take a view that is often taken in HN, that is, if you can play the game and win, it doesn't matter how you do it. I actually don't think that.

You are inferring that I am because of your pro-trump bias and because i responded to the parent with insert generic content, which could be construed as being neutral/pro-trump. For the record, I think the mess Americans have created for themselves serves them right; is a sign of a broken democracy, an ignorant and uninformed populace where only extremism will get people to the polls. Unfortunately Australia is part of a world where the actions of a bigoted maniac will affect us; and I can hardly say that our political leadership is any better (although our democracy is significantly stronger with compulsory voting and preferential voting)
I'm merely pointing out that in a discussion about liberals and conservatives, picking one person to represent the liberal point of view and then arguing against that person instead of addressing goals of the party in general is not a constructive way to proceed.
>"The raised salary level - to more than $130,000 - is more than double the current H-1B minimum wage of $60,000, which was established in 1989 and has since remained unchanged."

This is interesting. Adjusting for inflation, $60K in 1989 is worth 117K in today's dollars. This adjustment is essentially just a compensation for inflation.

It's tempting to be cynical but there are good reasons for this. The main good reason is power efficiency. As the seller of the device Apple is the chief party held accountable for poor battery life. You or I or other technical folk might point the finger at particular apps but the typical consumer will just bemoan the "poor battery life on my phone". Apple takes ownership of that outcome and if that means forcing it to be a priority for all browsers, so be it. It's what lets them advertise the battery life for web browsing that they do.

Additionally, I would like to challenge the unsupported notion that WebKit is "stagnation of web browser tech". While there may be issues here and there, my impression is that Apple is overall committed to pushing the envelope[1] and adding compelling features.[2]

Given the poor English of the article, I took "rebuilt" to mean something like "certified" or "inspected". I can't see any company taking a product apart and reassembling it. Note also that Tesla has already refused to give the customer a new car.

Given that Tesla thinks there is nothing wrong with the car, the only way I see that conversation working is if the car is returned unaltered.
