When you're fighting over politics, you can usually convert most of the losing side before resorting to slaugter.

When you're righting over religion, people are very reluctant to convert (which is usually a sin), and to accept the converted, so it ends with cleansings and genocide. Same thing with ethnic conflicts, but they're religion-driven more often than not.
Imagine how could it would be if this would be implemented in JS and used in website to increase the resolution of low-quality pictures.
Not sending rejections after an internal referral seems to be a common theme. I personally still have about 8 open applications in Amazon's system after getting referred by an AWS architect. I'm guessing HR doesn't pay attention, and it's up to a team to become interested in me or kind enough to send a rejection.
The problem right now is that if you look at it economically rooftop solar doesn't make a lot of sense and is mainly being driven by subsidies (which are being paid for by everyone else). My guess is that large scale commercial solar will end up generally more economical than rooftop solar.
Does this also encompass the providers' "reading" emails to place appropriate ads and/or services?

For example, I noticed recently, that if I have a hotel booked, Google "reads" my email and annotates Google maps with the dates of my booking.

Does this act apply only to the government's access to email or also the provider's?

Edit: Also, does the government need a warrant only for US citizens' accounts or for anyone's emails stored on US servers?
Show HN: Lifoo - a fresh take on Forth in the spirit of Lisp
The view in the Forbes article is misinformed:

> In the final months of the Wheeler FCC, the Commission rushed through orders re-regulating rates for enterprise data services, subjecting ISPs (and only ISPs) to a highly-restrictive privacy regime that upends the model of ad-supported free content, and flirted with banning free and sponsored mobile data services that consumers actually want.

The reason the rules apply to only ISPs is that only ISPs are a natural monopoly. If you don't like gmail scanning your email there are sixty free alternatives that don't.

ISPs have nothing to do with "ad supported free content", nor should they.

And consumers "want" free everything, but that's not how "sponsored mobile data services" work. Instead they allow the ISP to charge high data fees while exempting their own offerings to disadvantage or ransom the competition. And if high data fees and destroying competition are the cost of "free", no consumer who actually understands that wants it.
Yet much easier to do by avoiding a single page app all together.
Detecting and collecting quantum noise in semiconductors is nothing exotic. Johnson-Nyquist noise (thermal noise across a resistor or within a capacitor) is relatively easy to measure within an integrated circuit, and is how Intel's RDRAND, Via's true randomness instructions, etc. work. Another cheap option is to reverse-bias an LED, paint it black, and measure the leakage current, affected by both Johnson-Nyquist noise and redioactive decay / cosmic rays.

There's little to no excuse for these slot machines not including at least a crude quantum noise collection circuit. Collecting quantum noise in a circuit is nothing exotic and only requires a hand full of transistors and a couple of capacitors. I'm a bit sad that ARM didn't include a quantum noise instruction in the basic arm64 instruction set.

On a side note, it's a shame that WiFi and BlueTooth chipsets don't all have a linear feedback shift register accumulating radio noise. They're already measuring noise and detecting bit errors. With only a few extra transistors, they could be made to expose radio noise to the kernel for use in /dev/urandom and friends.
I've never understood this attitude. Passion doesn't necessarily bring anything to the table here for everyone. Persistence I think is the word you're actually looking for.

For example, when I was in grad school my passion for the subject actually nose-dived as the quantity of tedium and endless iteration increased. It wasn't passion that carried me anywhere then. It was simple determination.
I love this one:

What would happen if the desert became a socialist country? Nothing for a while, and then there would be a sand shortage.
I think the key part is _every_ 3 years. With the sewerage pipes, you can plan around the maximum capacity of the house, and the required capacity of the pipes will remain pretty much constant. You don't have the same upper limit on Internet capacity.
> All with different beliefs.

Different customs and perhaps some different interpretations, but if you believe something different (e.g. that deviates from or adds to scripture) then objectively you have a different basis and therefore a different faith.

I'd encourage you to watch some of the debates by James White[1] (yes, those are links to purchase, but if you check the podcast feed/blog they link to YouTube videos of many of the debates. What you'll clearly see in many of those debates is how the arguments of one side breaks down. I can't see how any reasonable observer could watch a handful of those debates and not be at least open to if not convinced that perhaps some of what these "different beliefs" offer isn't real Christianity, but something dressed up as such.

I do believe that there are very small number of _actual_ Christians in the US. Definitely not the 70-ish% from Pew[1]. Maybe 5-10%. Probably even less.

Sounded like it was just about government reading based on the earlier conversation.
I thought Netflix and related services work the same way Spotify does: they pay content providers a small fee based on actual content viewing. If you pay Netflix a monthly subscription but never view any content on your account, I would assume Netflix keeps all of the revenue and doesn't pay out anything to the actual content providers. Just a guess, but it's possible your plan is backfiring by paying the company you don't want to support (since Netflix is the one implementing the tracking) instead of the companies you do (that actually create the content you like).
So I had the page translated to English. I think the jokes might be funnier in Russian. Still there is something funny in knowing there is a joke in there ... somewhere.

If you want to define Christianity as a set of precepts derived from the teachings of Christ then you must define the teachings of Christ. This seems like an impossible task to me.

Not only is there the issue of discovering what's been lost in translation, but also the existing texts have been heavily edited over the centuries. Entire books could have conceivably been lost. Forgeries could have been adopted. Even if you disregard all that, is there really an objectively correct way to read Christian (or any) scripture? I'd say no.

My view is that religions are like languages. What defines a language is what is widely spoken and widely understood within some community. It doesn't matter whether a word has been recorded in a dictionary. It can be said to be part of the language if it is used and understood.

By the same token, I would define religions as they are practiced, not based on some interpretation of what has survived from the texts. Based on that view, there isn't (and never has been) a monolithic Christian religion. Instead there are many fragmented communities that have varying rituals/practices. Some of these practices are quite widespread (mainstream) and some are not.

I understand the desire to base our understanding of religions on the texts. But I can't see any coherent way to do it.
This is absolutely false - at least for senior guys.

Unfortunately (as I happen to be a relatively big fan of Perl5) the market for even "core" Perl developers (e.g. a core perl/module/framework developer with name recognition and solid track record) is less than half the going rate of the equivalent in Node.js for example. Perl unfortunately (as a hiring manager) seems very stratisfied too - there is a whole lot of exceptional talent, and a whole lot of horrible talent - and not a lot in the middle.

I don't know if there is really a market for "below average" Perl programmers these days like there is for JS or PHP - so entry level and other code janitor positions likely do pay more simply due to there being a lack of junior devs learning Perl these days. Those left taking those lower paying Perl jobs are likely not exactly the team of the Perl crop, much less programming crop.

That is the harsh reality of being a Perl shop these days, for better or worse. However the language is much stronger and much more modern than most on HN give it credit for. Properly written Modern Perl in 2017 is much different than the Perl you wrote as a 17 year old making $300 on his first CGI app. It may however be a case of too little too late.
I'm actually with the Digital Services team, at Louisville Metro Government.
Primarily because "be a functioning part of their business" applies to so many other companies. Manufacturers like Tesla or Audi? Sure. Car rental and fleet management companies like Avis or Enterprise? Certainly could be a part of their business. Local couple who owns a car wash and can afford to buy 2-3 self-driving vehicles and keep them clean? Why not, I'd give someone local a try.

What's unique about Uber's know-how to ensure their domination (or in absence of domination, reasonable margins) in the segment?
True, and, it is my belief that the oppression and absurdity (and alcoholism) were taken to extremes during the "commu/socialist" era.

And so the humor was typically cynical, absurd and predominantly dark.
I agree. But I think in this industry those two items are generally what employers mean by "passionate".

"Passionate", "have a GitHub profile," etc. are all signals that an employer wants someone who's life is consumed by coding and, ideally, coding for them (while being willing to tolerate tedium or terrible working conditions).
There are no magic tricks. You're either getting something done or simply reading about getting something done, which is just another form of procrastination (http://jamesclear.com/taking-action).

Oh, and humans can't multitask. It's also more "expensive" to having to restart a task.
I wish it still were just a document viewer. Turning it into an application distribution platform has mostly ruined it.
I read the article and my key takeaway was that licensing was a significant culprit. But Parse and Sandstorm are different. Do you think there is something systematic to open source or to VC-backed startups or to developer tools or something else?

Wow, I've been a big fan of Darude even while hoping they were more prolific. Whoever those agents were keeping them on the run, we lost a lot of art thanks to you.
I think a lot of people confuse passionate with "coding during your waking hours." I would say I'm very passionate about the code I write and enjoy solving problems, however I barely do any coding on my own. I've had prospective employers turn me down (probably) from my lack of a repertoire of side-projects. When you commute 2 hours each way to work, go to work 6 days/week, and have a family at home there's a point when I prefer to just relax instead of code. I don't know how to convey that though.
I have a regular light switch for my Hue lights, but also have some timers set up from my phone that change their colors in the morning/evening.

If I'm gone or even if I lose the phone, I really wonder if anyone else will ever figure out how to shut that off. They'll probably just throw the bulbs out.

--------------------------

I'm a recent CS grad from the University of California, Riverside (UCR) where I just recently graduated with a 3.62 GPA. I have experiences working with Android, java, python, back-end development, and bash both inside and outside school and have experiences working with web development (standard javascript/React.js) . I'm mainly looking for opportunities that involve Android/java/back-end development, but I'm also interested in opportunities involving React.js. If you have an opportunity for me that you think fits me, please let me know!
As a fairly easily distracted person, I find that I learn very effectively when I have some concrete problem to solve, and much less effectively when I just want to pick up knowledge for the sake of knowledge. The concrete problem provides focus and more importantly boundaries that I wouldn't have from just reading some docs or some textbook. Even studying for my ham radio exam was like this: picking up the basic concepts was slow going, because I'd either learn about something related but irrelevant or just lose focus entirely. But when I started taking practice exams instead of trying to learn the material first, I had specific goals of learning the questions I got wrong, which helped a lot.

Changing setting also works for me. I get different types of work done on my couch at home vs. at local coffee shops (and different coffee shops are good for different things). I hear part of this is that you form mental associations with different places as being suited for different kinds of work, and it's possible that your couch (or worse, your desk at work) is associated with doing too many things, none of which are learning.

Also, I might mention that adult ADHD is a thing that exists and that doctors can care for. (I myself went in to double-check that that wasn't my problem; it wasn't, but it was worth being sure.)
Alas, my Russian is no longer fluent enough to catch the subtleties, and Google translate is worse than the worst student in my old college Russian classes.

Excellent work.
While that is great to hear, that doesn't fully address the questions and concerns I raised.
Most LISPs don't give you the most power. They are usually GC'd, and usually don't have access to directly modify memory, like you can with anything in the realm of C.

The foot-gun the give you is expressiveness, which allows you to make code unintelligible, rather than power to do anything that you feel like. (I'm not aware of any surviving LISP that would allow you to modify the structure of how cons cells are generated, for example).

There's certainly power in expressiveness, but it isn't the godlike power of C, where you can potentially damage hardware.

That, I think, is why we don't have a "Rule of most power".
Thanks for the paper touching on reference counting work queues, I hadn't paid much attention to that approach since proponents tend to focus on instantly reclaiming each dead object. I still find semi-space copying (move O(live) objects and ignore O(dead) objects where dead >> live) to be not just one alternative but an enormous win I'd almost never forego, since buying more memory is so much easier than buying more CPU and bus throughput and has been for years.

I have trouble believing that behind-the-scenes escape analysis is very effective on real-world code. Look at how much painfully explicit source annotation Rust found they needed.
I agree heartily with the general thesis, that fundraising rounds shouldn't be put on the pedestal they are. About your comments on the tech press, what do you realistically think they can talk about if not funding rounds?

Most forms of impact for early stage companies are typically communicated by traction numbers which you want to keep private from your competitors.
More complicated than what?

Quantum physics deal with a different kind of phenomena that seems to be random in nature. Macroscopic physics emerge from micro-world, so different scale.

If what you are comparing is classical with relativity, Occam only applies to simplest answer that explain all observable reality. Classical didn't explain enough, so it needed to be corrected by a more complex system.
That's the real purpose of being "entrepreneur", "founder" or "co-founder". You get all the credit & $$$ without actually doing anything, the actual work is done by the salves you hire. They have to be competent, got perfect grades from top schools, smart, passionate, ready to work day and night to achieve your goals, but you, YOU are above any of these laws. Your are entrepreneur, you just go to meetings.

You can't really say they're united by Christ when they can't agree on the nature of Christ (man, god or both?) and have frequently fought over the particulars.

About the only way you can group all Christians together is that they believe a Christ of some form existed. But that definition is loose enough to include atheists, muslims and others.
No way. They absolutely made more than 2.2M. The content detection system, recv servers, writing the firmware, all cost more than 2.2M.
FWIW, the christian answer to this is jesus' command to 'love your enemy', which is the foundation of what, in our culture, we usually call 'tolerance'. I think it's more accurate to judge a belief system by its founder than by those who abuse it later, eg europe's historical religious wars.
The fundamental problem with wireless is that in an area with even moderate density, you end up needing a wireless antenna within a mile of the customer's location, which itself needs a wired connection. And once you get that close you might as well bring the wire the rest of the way and not consume billions of dollars of wireless spectrum.

Income tax varies quite a bit, and you have lots of control over it.

You can completely avoid state income tax: Texas, Florida, New Hampshire, Alaska...

You can chop down the federal income tax quite a bit. For example, you could have a dozen kids. For most software developers, that eliminates the income tax.

So, there you go. Zero income tax.
I certainly would argue that my religion (Orthodox Christianity) is a different religion from that of Dr. James White (Baptist Christianity).

Anyhow, I don't care to argue specifics, only to point out that as everyone thinks their version is correct, and there's many versions out there, it's difficult to say what a 'real' Christian believes, assuming one is charitable enough to consider sects other than one's own as 'Christian'.

Christianity (and Islam after it) has the unique characteristic of being the first to claim that it was both universal (applied to all of humanity, not just one's tribe/city/language/culture) and that it was exclusively true -- no other belief systems were considered real. Even Judaism allowed for difference between Gentiles and Jews. Christianity admits no other belief systems beside itself. For all of humanity.

The 'pagan' Romans were astounded at the intolerance and dogma of the Christians. They were used to absorbing other ethnicities pantheons into their own. While they had all sorts of chauvinistic and tribalistic beliefs, they never believed -- until Christianity -- that they had the answers for all human kind.

Christianity is the origin of 'religion' as we think of it now. It has altered the lens of how we perceive all belief systems, so we accept as normal the concept of an all-encompassing totalizing system of transcendent explanation.

Whether you think its explanations are right or not, this is a unique property historically. And Islam inherited this philosophy.

Even more profound is the extreme intolerance that Christianity fostered _within itself_. Many thousands lost their _lives_ for interpreting the some aspect the Trinity, or the relationship of the Father to the Son differently from what became accepted as official dogma. Very technical language and very specific interpretations of this language controlled the fate of nations and the lives of millions.
