A couple of thoughts come to mind when I read this paragraph:

1. If there is meat in her story, I am sure there are multiple lawyers who will be willing to work for a share of the settlement - i.e. she never pays out of pocket.

2. It seems we have a society where the "plaintiff" is wronged bad enough to go to court, but is wronged enough to complain about it and have society decide and punish on her behalf! Even when society doesn't know enough about the case.

This reminds me of the doctor who shot that lion in africa... society punished him really really bad - he lost patients, lost ability to work, and what not. Later, it turned out he had done everything by the book, and is not slated to be punished/held accountable either in US or zimbabwe. Same thing here... idiots on the internet feel they KNOW uber is wrong, and they are willing to punish the company by #deleteuber, and willing to go on a downvote spree towards people like me on online forums.

What happens if 6 months later it turns out Susan was lying? Will all of you come back to upvote me?
If have references you can pretty much always implement lists. First all you do not need mutability, you can implement linked lists form immutable cons cells, second python has mutable references so implementing linked lists is trivial (the fact that some objects are in fact immutable is immaterial).

It seems a bit strange to say that the US supplied him with chemical weapons and that they were lying that he had chemical weapons. Not technically impossible for both to be true, but seems somewhat unlikely.

Is the thinking that it was bad intelligence or falsified intelligence? And what about the other foreign intelligence agencies that supposedly corroborated it?
>if you're a minority or a woman

for hundreds of thousands of years having your tribe represented by a confident male (selected from the majority of the tribe) was beneficial (at least we can conclude that now based on the survivor bias principle) We still have those cave man instincts with us to a high degree. The point of civilization development is to reign in cave man instincts inside and among us. Seems that it takes time.
Listened to it this morning, thanks. I wasn't aware the founders of Stripe were so young until very recently.
I don't think you read the article.
but i think this is not the relevant observation. The question is whether one enjoys leading and is willing and motivated to learn. The question is not whether one can learn how to do it, but instead who wants to learn how to do it. And high-performers (in my experience) have a higher motivation to learn (they don't have magic superpowers, at least most ;) ), so i would guess they are better at leading because they care more about learning to lead. I think "natural leaders" just enjoy leading and have been practicing it since kindergarten.

That is so over simplified that it is basically nonsense. There are properties of ideal money which explains why gold, fiat, and currencies all have value.

The fact that so few people seem to know this is a big reason why money continues to baffle people. Most haven't been able to figure out the real underlying principles that give a dollar bill value, they just know that it does.
Considering how unsurprisingly shallow the material is, I'm guessing this is enlisted training material...you know, the type that's quickly forgotten shortly after A school.
Thanks, I will try to keep that in mind and try to contribute a little more to the conversation.

As far as I can tell, their research has nothing to do with directly identifying objects, only identifying properties of objects.
The Unicode symbols for flags consist of a special set of combining country-code letters that when used in two-character combinations compose into flags. That solution ensures that the Unicode standard doesn't hard-code the existing list of countries and country codes. In addition to future-proofing, that also avoids dealing with disputed regions that not everyone recognizes as countries.

That is NOT the point of our democracy. The people have power every two years where congress and 1/3 of the states are concerned; and distant power every four years as they vote for electors to the electoral college. The people have little power where Congress is concerned, less where the President is concerned, and none where the Judiciary is at issue. The Federal Reserve, FTC, FBI, etc. are likewise far removed from the will of the people. Its almost as if the framers had very little faith in the people to govern themselves.

My heart is broken by individual stories like this one, but I have a hard time sympathizing with these overwhelmingly conservative areas who lectured us "tax and spend liberals" about welfare queens and bootstraps when times were good for them. They were offered retraining and reeducation by the Clinton campaign and overwhelmingly rejected it. I'm happy to help these net-entitlement-consumers via my taxes, but their plight is hardly a priority given that they seem to have no interest in taking proactive steps to fix it.
The focal ranges are more intended for APS-C, but do check out the Sigma 19/2.8 and 30/2.8 lenses. They are not quite a pancake lens, but they are pretty close.

Are you OK with manual glass? If so, check out the Samyang 135mm f/2. If that's still too big, the Pentax 135mm f/2.5 or Nikkor 105/2.5 are both quite compact (roughly the size of a can of soda) and will provide you with a little more reach. None of those is a native M4/3 lens, so you will need to buy them in a Nikon or Pentax mount and use an adapter.

I do not see Same-Site Cookies as a great solution. If you use a framework like Laravel CSRF tokens are setup out of the box. I cannot imagine it being any simpler.

The two cookie solution needed to fix problems with `SameSite=Strict` is more complicated than just using CRSF tokens.

And `SameSite=Lax` solution creates a new way for developers to screw up. The lax setting gives you no CSRF protection on GET requests. It is too easy to accidentally accept GET requests on a critical form that should be POST only.

The employer who said he wouldn't hire narcotics users is not hiring mechanical engineers, though, he's hiring factory workers for steel-drawing machines. They're operators and tradesmen, not engineers. It doesn't require a degree--it requires the ability to learn and the ability to not mis-handle machines to the (potentially fatal) detriment of your coworkers. Which narcotics (and other drugs) kind of screw with.
Very interesting! I don't think the paper mentions type tracing combined with static analysis, property testing, or AOT compilers however. Do you have another link with more info? I can't seem to find it anywhere, and am keen to have play with it :)

It does seem like there's a lot more very useful tools which could be made from the data we already have. Bug databases combined with commits are also filled with useful information. It does seem you can train a classifier for certain bugs from just those features.

I think the "Auto Complete from stack overflow" and related stuff from early 2016 was also pretty neat, in that it didn't use trace info, but more normal text search methods. But was surprisingly useful none the less.

I'm not really trying to make an argument against frequentist statistics and for Bayesian ones. I'm more trying to point out what each style exposes (by printing it in your papers) or conceals (by leaving it semi-consciously understood from that one class in grad school).

That's not a very tolerant position, is it?
> "which fails with the burner phone number used to create the account."

Maybe I expressed that a bit unclear: I didn't mean it fails because you have no longer access to the number (= you burned the burner). It fails because Twitter don't accept this same number which worked while sign-up anymore for re-verfification.

To be honest: I'm not sure if Twitter accepts any other number in that case or if the prompt for phone number re-verification is just an obscure way of saying "Your account is permanently locked for any reason."
Why is that? Level3 is one of my upstreams and I've had two /23s from them for a few years. I'm pretty sure they still have some addresses available, although they might be harder to get nowadays.

Part of the problem is that the people who are able to show up reliably, clean and sober, to do the work tend to be able to find work that pays better.

Sure, your uncle's shop pays ten percent above market wage for the area, but that doesn't mean a lot, because the people he's trying to hire aren't limited to that market.

I used to work in a bakery, and my wage went from 9 bucks an hour to 13 within a year of starting; at the time, minimum wage was 7.25. I have absolutely zero doubt that I was making at least ten percent more than the market value for the position I was hired at. A year after I started making 13 dollars an hour, I quit my job and went back to school for computer science, got hired out of school, and now I'm living in California making ~125,000 a year. There's just not enough money in baking to get that kind of salary, even if you own the location.
1- Only water and tea, no sugar of course
2- The most I did was 3 days, I did that 3 times. Usually I eat my last meal on sunday, next meal on tuesday night, next meal thursday night and then on friday night I start eating "normal" till sunday night.
3. 40 years old
4. Not really, I walk my dog 3 day a week, I would say 40 blocks walking on those days.
5. My BMI is 22.9
5. I started doing it to loose weight, I was tired of eating 6 times a day and counting calories and picking what to eat and what not; I find a lot easier and efficient not to to eat. I now have the weight I want to have. I'm 5.3 and weight 132 pound.

I feel really good with that weight and also I love to eat and cook, so in the weekends I cook a lot and eat a lot of whatever I want, then during the week I level everything up with the fasting. I try to avoid junk food but that's just because I love to cook my own meals.

I weight myself naked after my morning bath every weekday, I've noticed that with just 1 day of fasting my weight goes down at least 4.5 pound. I love having total control of my weight and being able to loose weight really fast.

I tell this to everyone who asks about my fasting: TRY IT, it really makes you feel very good and energetic. Most people say "I couldn't do that" but they don't even try... I think that anyone can be 24hs without eating food.

Whatever info you need just send me an email to my username at gmail.
I might be wrong but I think you're sort of confusing the way game multiplayer works for the local player, and for the other players they see.

If we're talking FPS games:

The local player is moved instantly based on their local inputs, and the server will also move them using the same rules. The local player will be corrected in any case where they don't match.

For other players that the local player sees, extrapolation in twitchy multiplayer games like FPSs is notoriously bad as the players are so hard to predict, so usually you have them running e.g. 100ms behind so you can (hopefully, depending on latency) interpolate between two data points from the server instead of trying to guess the future at all. So you still have the "behind real time" problem. The only reason the local player can avoid that is they have the benefit of local inputs. In an Uber sense they are the car.

Obviously that's a problem in games too, because now the player is shooting someone who's behind where they are on the server, so they miss. Latency Compensation fixes that - having the server rewind time to see what the client would have seen. But that won't help the cars-on-a-map problem.

Having said all that, I do agree with your point. Taking a couple of old data points and extrapolating from there should work pretty well for the cars problem. You'll see them snap back when they stop at intersections though.

I have some Ticonderoga Blacks here. I gave them to the kids, though, because I don't like the weight. The cedar wood is more dense, making them hard to "hillbilly sharpen"[0] accurately. They're heavier, which kind of annoys me because it just doesn't feel right (I feel the same way about the black wings, but they don't feel quite as hefty as the blacks).

On the eraser, I've not run into pink smudging with the Ticonderogas, or had any of them dry out, but that's mostly because I blow through these things very quickly (4 kids, all elementary age, and I'm good at losing cheap things).

Very good point on the shape -- I hadn't even thought of that as a feature but I should have being that I specifically purchased a few boxes of triangular crayons for the kids -- I hate climbing under tables to fish out whatever color they want that's managed to roll off the table.

I totally get it, though, I'm pretty ridiculous about my pencils, too. I've tweeted, reviewed and written (in pencil) a letter to Dixon Ticonderoga. And they wrote back a snarky-ish reply ... in pencil (I think there's a picture of the reply on my Twitter feed somewhere)! :o)

[0] A term my dad used to use when you're doing construction work, you snap the lead of the pencil and are nowhere near a pencil sharpener so you take whatever qualifies as a sharp edge (often one half of a pair of clippers) and scrape it sharp, again. I often sharpen my pencils with razor blades and find it easy to get a good tip in a minute or two on the standard Ticonderogas.
Another backhanded dig at Trump, perhaps? Listen, Trump may be a lot of things, but he's not incompetent. And here's the most important thing that he is not: A drinker. He doesn't drink. That makes him different than pretty much every other politician in DC. The are all drunks and worse. And if you've ever dealt with a drunk, you know something very important: Alcoholics are all liars. That, above all, is the problem with our political leadership. Simply having strict drug and alcohol screenings in order to be elected would go a long ways towards cleaning up government and politics.
It's always right. When I'm cooking a whole meal, I can easily forget about the rice, and end up with burned bottom and mushy top.

It's always perfect. The variability of my stove burners means that my rice on the stove never comes out exactly the same. With a good rice cooker, you never have under or overdone rice.

If you eat rice every couple of months, a rice cooker is pointless. I eat it two or three times a week, and I want it to be good every time and without me having to think about it (because rice is what goes under the food I'm making on the stove, so I'm too busy chopping and cooking to worry about rice).
No, you can set cookies to HTTP only, so Javascript can't access them. JS injected into a domain can do something with your permissions for that domain by making more requests to the target domain that have the cookie attached, but at the moment that's basically how the Web security model works, so that is in some sense not a hole. But the injected JS can't steal the cookie and send the contents somewhere else.

The National Interest is pretty clearly defined each time the countries economic data is released. Because without acceptable employment, balanced trade, and a manageable budget you've got nothing. No money for social justice, for national defense, and no place for politicians to pay themselves and their friends ... except your savings account. So, the National Interest is easy to measure if focus on the foundation, not the fixtures.

Contraction Hierarchy (CH) is also at least 100x faster as A* . CH has nice properties of having good memory efficiency, optimality, any graph etc. And I am very sure JPS is not that generic applicable like CH. Still all 'fast' routing algorithms have their own drawbacks of engineering complexity, pre-processing time and memory requirements, potential lack for time dependent support etc.

If you want to have the best summary of routing algorithms currently available then read 'Route Planning in Transportation Networks' (2014) https://arxiv.org/abs/1504.05140

I read somewhere that it isn't possible to not run a microwave at full power. I don't remember why.

I agree on the two knobs though. I noticed after I buying an expensive in wall microwave that the thing would randomly glitch (you have to power it off to use it again). You have to use a "race condition" to launch it at full power without having to set the power then the time and then press the start button.

I had no idea you could fail so bad at making a microwave.
Ask HN: How much will early employees make after SNAP IPO's?
I'm trying to understand how much early employees will make after Snap's IPO.

I'm using this leaked email for some calculations:
wiki leaks email ID: 139607

On January 1st, 2014, it appears that Snapchat(Snap) was valued at $450mm. Let's assume that an employee was hired and given 20,000 shares at a price per share of: $9.90.

According to some recent news, SNAP will be priced between $14 and $16 when it IPO's.

Assuming that a employee is fully vested before IPO, some steps she would need to do to cash out:
1. Wait the lockup period(90-180 days).
2. Purchase 20,000 shares at $9.90 for $198,000.
3. Sell 20,000 shares at $16(assuming no price change), for $320,000.

This is a net gain of $122,000. This seems pretty low for an early employee of Snap. I think I'm missing something... Are employees constantly being issued more shares to take into account dilution due to fundraising? Are ISO's treated differently than normal stock, aka is there some type of multiplier given to ISO's vs. common stock?

Jura superautomatic coffee machines.

Jura is a Swiss brand that is like the Apple of superautomatics. Their range extends from small, somewhat expensive consumer machines to rather expensive, excellent machines for industrial use. They're really solid, stylish workhorses, with excellent availability of spare parts and repair shops (though I've never needed any).

I have the ENA Micro 9 [1], which comes with an excellent "cappuccinatore" frothing mechanism for milk espressos (unlike those frothers that spin a little whisk around in the milk, the frother uses pressurized air). The step-up model, the ENA 9 One Touch, is not worth the higher price (it's not even as good-looking), while the little brother ENA Micro 1 is only good for coffee (no hot water or milk frothing).
