That's exactly where it's from! Amazing place.
I partially agree. It depends on what you are hiring for. If you are hiring for a low level code monkey, you want to see how they code. If you are hiring for a senior level engineer/architect, you want to see how often they avoid coding and know how to leverage existing frameworks.
Each side in this conflict has allies among members of the intelligence community, a billionaire or two, and powerful media outlets. Only one side in addition has control (imminently) of all three branches of the government and control over state legislatures where a majority of Americans live. It seems that disparity would tip the scales of which side is the 'resistance'?

Anyway not much is resolved by figuring out which side is a resistance, trying to resolve it definitively is like resolving a kaleidoscope, which in turn makes one susceptible to superficial narratives or whims. Even iron-fisted Stalin could say he was really the underdog against global capitalism; nothing was gained by those who believed him. Much better to insist on interpreting who's in the right based on accuracy, principles, and consequences.
I have no insight, but I'm pretty confident this is nonsense. A lot of sites have broken heading structures - it'd be a mistake to downrank otherwise good results because of this.

Interesting. So, you actually had it easier than Chris since the expectations of service are so low in Africa. You might have had it harder because of all the extra issues you deal with. As I figured, it's not as straight-forward as your original comment implied.
I recommend just trying it out. Pick a day when your performance doesn't need to be perfectly top notch (though it probably won't suffer anyway.) And then just commit. For me, that was not bringing lunch to work: just my water bottle and thermos of black tea. I found no difficulty working out that day or the next.

I'm 6'0", 250lb., with certainly too much fat, if that context helps in any way.

Singapore (the most boring place in Asia... except Korea) is perennially trying to pretend it has an endemic culinary capacity (hint: the locals do truly believe it). The reality is that Bangkok or even Penang (a far tinier and earlier colonial island in Malaysia) are way better. If you want real Chinese, come to China. There are 100 places in every major city with faultless single-cuisine menus served by career specialist chefs.

Oh yeah, it's not remotely legal by any standard whatsoever. The problem is that it's virtually impossible to prove.

In my friend's case, she was at the director level of a large publicly-traded company. Particularly as you approach the top of the that kind of corporate hierarchy, the world becomes very small, and good-old-boy dynamics start to dominate. There's no formal blacklist, of course -- just the opportunity to meet your frenemy from her previous employer down at the bar, where he can confidentially warn you to "watch out for that one: she's a troublemaker". Nothing more needs to be said, and certainly nothing needs to be written.

I suspect that hiring decisions at lower levels will be both more process-driven and better-documented, so it might be more possible to prove the existence of blacklists there (even if it's still far from easy). But near the top of the pyramid, I have great trouble seeing how the punitive legal action can realistically be used to break up the good-old-boy network.

Seeing this play out has actually changed my mind on the necessity of having gender quotas for management and boards. Previously I'd been opposed on vaguely libertarian grounds; now I see it as the only practical way of disrupting the good-old-boy networks that genuinely do a lot of harm. (Society is genuinely damaged -- depriving itself of so much talent -- by systematic bias against women).
Well it's another security/anonymity guide for beginners. ("An IP address is a set of numbers that identifies a computer...")

I'm always torn on these... like is a little info better than none, or worse than none? Example: "Tor is better than a VPN." Sure, except when the exit node is compromised, and the VPN service is a "no log" service. (Granted you would have to verify or trust any such claim.)
Ok. Lets imagine Emil actually did exactly as described in his hypothetical: hiring people to investigate true facts and report them to the public.

How is that somehow worse than Gawker hiring people to do that to Uber?
This person knows their pencils. I agree. Second the Palomino recommendation.

It's all relative but I wouldn't call the Blackwing 602 "ludicrously expensive"...they cost about $1.50 per pencil.

Though maybe you are thinking of the vintage Blackwing pencils. Blackwing used to be made by a different company (Eberhard) decades ago. These older vintage Blackwing pencils if you can find one cost like $50 today. Still the new ones being made are about $1.50 and are great too.
Why would I delete Uber? They're using VC money to subside transportation for thousands; money is literally leaving their pocket and going into those of part-time drivers who ferry my and others' butt around the wastelands of America's suburbia. Their managerial track record is well documented, they've ignored laws from the beginning hoping to wait until the tides of regulation shift into their favor, helped by lots of time spent lobbying and intimidating.
They have shown that no holds will be barred to spread the wings of Uber far and wide so they can ruthlessly crush local taxis and any less-funded competition. But at the end of the day, Uber isn't someone you vote for with your wallet, it's someone who gives you more service than the money you put in.

We already knew before the harrassment allegations that the management may be full of skeezy types, but Uber is one of those rare ventures where punishing the company legitimately doesn't punish the company at all, but rather solely its employees, drivers, and riders.

So turn your outrage into something productive, not knee-jerk reactive. For example, donate to some organization that stands up for the rights of harrassed employees. Ponder about whether this is something that could happen to you, or if you'd be capable of this abhorrent behavior. Start a conversation. Think really hard about whether you'll use your influence and social pull to sway people around you or on the internet, and the message you send. Comparing your movement to #DeleteUber perhaps isn't such a good idea, given the whole damn thing was most likely an embarrassing misunderstanding that was vilified by people assuming the worst. Are you sending a reasoned, if impassioned message, or just riling a mob?

To be sure, I specifically refute your claim that countries like that don't have unhealthy, locally-produced food.

As I've pointed out in a previous comment, when was the last time you saw a label of nutritional facts on any local dish anywhere in the Pacfic that allowed vetting of such a claim? When traditional preparation methods of natural foods are simply dismissed without consideration, it's easy to attribute these foods as anything but unhealthy. That's the misjudgement I see having personally grown up on a wee little-known island in the Pacific.

The quotes in the article point out the seriousness of the issue primarily driven by foreign food products high in sugar, refined starch and processed foods. I'm definitely in agreement with this claim, but it does not--indeed cannot--assert as fact that locally-produced foods are intrinsically healthy, and by that I specifically mean how they're traditional prepared.

Which begs the question: Was rigorous Western medicine on the scene prior to foreign influence that it was able to ascertain the health baseline of an indigenous population prior to its exploitation? If foreign dietary choices disappeared overnight, that doesn't necessarily mean that overall population health will realize some normalcy comparable to the rest of the 1st world. I believe there are deeply rooted cultural norms distinct to each island that have yet to be addressed.
That is how I approach a problem. I've seen too many inexperienced developers reinvent the wheel - badly - instead of taking a step back and wondering, "is this a solved problem"? Is this part of our core competency or can we outsource it, find an existing package, etc.

maybe I should have included the whole quote, but this is regarding the double slit experiment stead delayed choice quantum eraser experiments, where you measure over here but seem to affect over there

> If we place a detector inside or just behind one slit, we can find out whether any given particle goes through it or not. In that case, however, the interference vanishes. Simply by observing a particle's path – even if that observation should not disturb the particle's motion – we change the outcome.

when we place an observer at one of the slits we lose the previously ambiguous diffraction and instead get a clump pattern, but we are definitely probing where it is

That is going way too far. I would say science is the practice of "triangulating" reality by trying "project" our perceptions (which we assume are noisy) into a space where they are directly comparable - kind of like how you take multiple measurements to get a distribution, then move forward using the mean.
They mean the 1939 World's Fair. CRTs were about 5" diameter then and very dim.

Scophony showed a 24" TV in 1938.[1] It was mechanically scanned, but, unlike the Baird system, a whole line was illuminated at once, not just one dot. Scophony could produce a reasonably bright image; they even had a projector. But it was complicated, expensive, and needed about 1KW of power for a receiver.

The Eidophor system from 1946 was the first theater-scale projection system. It used an electron beam to write on an oil film, which was then illuminated with an arc lamp to produce an image for projection.[2] All this had to be done in a vacuum, so it had vacuum pumps. For color, three of them were used. Amazingly, it was a commercial success; it was the only bright big screen TV technology until well into the 1980s. Apollo-era NASA had at least four of them in Mission Control. The huge, complex Eidophor machines showed up in stadiums, movie theaters, and rock concerts for decades. It's one of the clunkiest technologies ever deployed.

But the gene for the pigment is on the X-chromosome which is why women can have both variants and thus be tetrachormatic. But this would require both X's to be active unless this gene is also in the non-inactivated region.

Wikipedia says in brief "radical authoritarian nationalism." [1] I think I remember hearing in high school that it was, by example, anyone that believe "Love it or Leave it" in regard to a country, but I think now that may be jingoism - related, but not necessarily the same.

> in practice most matrix multiplications are for sub-100x100 (IIRC) matrices

I would say that you have the causation reversed: we just don't bother doing large matrix multiplications, because they're so expensive (and yet still don't usually cross the intercepts into making the "better" algorithms worth it, due to those algorithms having ridiculous constant coefficients.)

I would love to run Floyd-Warshall on my 40-million point network graph—but it just ain't gonna happen.
Hmm, how accurate is it, though? How do you calibrate such a system when the ambient illumination could be anything?
I never said anyone was wrong; only pointing out the origins.

I think one might be able to successfully argue that NIX-like systems and the programs executed on them are distinctively* biased towards pipes.

Regardless, as you said, the point is moot.

In all honesty, we're way over Heap's free limit, but they haven't throttled us or reached out, so shhhhhh.

Intercom is so worth it. We wouldn't be in the same position without it. The reason it's so high (as I mentioned in another answer) is that we also use it for sending our monthly newsletter. We could definitely get the cost much lower, and we're planning to, but I just need to sit down and do it. We've got our hands full with our current roadmap, so I haven't had the chance to move everyone to a more affordable email marketing service, but sooner than later.

When I used Baremetrics, they were changing their pricing a lot and experimenting so much with growth tactics that I don't agree with, like removing the ability to cancel on your own—you now need to contact them.

I tried ChartMogul and they've been absolutely wonderful. The team is so kind, helpful, and responsive. They also don't make drastic changes, which is refreshing since I only need them to track my Stripe metrics.
Russian Ambassador to the UN Vitaly Churkin Has Died 'suddenly' in NYC
The answer nearly always is "because users flagged it", which adds a high penalty to the ranking (which the mods sometimes override if they feel like a story shouldn't be punished this way). (Other cases are articles with more comments than upvotes, which afaik get penalized as potential flamewars, but that doesn't apply to this example with as of now ~300 points and ~100 comments).

I half agree with you -- I think Trump absolutely would act on it if it became a popular social media post... just like other presidents have.

So I think these steps are useful, but not "because Trump". Rather, "because presidents".

(Also, not sure why you're being downvoted. HN has taken to suppressing political views that are valid viewpoints, but one group or another doesn't agree with. If we're going to talk politics, we should actually talk about it -- not shut down views we don't like.)
It's actually quite hard to write meaningful tweets that could fool someone with a bit of knowledge of the organisation, such as a journalist who has had it in his portfolio for a while.

Plus, a journalist would have the contacts to verify the information. Traditionally, the government doesn't lie to American journalists – they may decline to comment, or give you a convoluted answer that doesn't actually answer your question. But they wouldn't lie. Considering these organisations are supposedly full of people sharing the leaker's point of view, it shouldn't be difficult to get confirmation at least off-the-record.

Of course all that requires a certain amount of trust in the media.
Ah the horizontal hold, had me flash back to needing to adjust it to get a stable picture on UHF channel 20 when I was a kid.
So profoundly disappointed in not just the NY Times but all the media coverage. The story is not that Travis has ordered an investigation - it's that Uber is a cesspool. And for those who are saying "do you have evidence" - please... Like we ALL don't know what working at Uber is like. Cmon man.

>>and fled instead of facing trial.

Where did he flee to? Megaupload was started when he lived in NZ, was shutdown when he lived in NZ, and as far as I am aware he still lives in NZ. So where you do you that he fled somewhere?

>I am surprised that most people here seem offended by NZ's decision.

That is because clearly you do not value due process

>The guy's clearly a thief

That is not clear to me, of course I also reject the very idea of "Intellectual privilege" and do not believe a download is the equivalent of theft.

Which by the way is the factual legal position as well, because when you infringe on copyright, you do not "steal" you infringe.

>If someone stole my stuff,

What did he steal, I have seen no complaints, or charges in regards to theft. Copyright infringement sure. But that is not theft

>fled to NZ

he did not flee to NZ,

That's great info that I'm saving. It's way cheaper than I thought it would be since the cost of everything has gone down much vs back when I started networking. I was also considering possibility of reaching out to people in Shenzhen finding and testing gear from various suppliers to see if that cost could be reduced. Curious if you've considered any kind of mesh networking that relays from one location to another?

I look forward to the fiber write-up.

Heh. I was curious if anyone was still subscribed.
And refuse to serially update it ;-)

Which is why no working statistician is really 100% Bayesian (intractable in many cases) or 100% frequentist (obviously wrong in some cases). We all use Bayes' Rule (don't need to be "a Bayesian" to do that) and we all are forced to do Newman-Pearson-style power calculations now and then (holds nose). Even the latter have their uses, in preventing the worst of the worst abuses of frequentist techniques (it's not frequentism that is inherently bad per se, it's the profound abuses that turn it into a magnet for bad science; sometimes a Bayesian formulation of a problem is simply intractable).
I am from New Zealand, and I had a friend who was working for Kim Dotcom leading up to the time of the raid. I never got close enough to actually see anything, but just from the stories I heard I was deeply suspicious. It didn't sound like much was done "by the book", people were paid in cash, stuff was hushed up... it all seemed really, really shady.

At the time, Dotcom was loathed by his neighbours in Coatesville for driving sports cars really fast around the area, scaring people on horseback, antagonizing the neighbours, and generally being an asshole. I met a few of them once and they all had the same opinion - they just didn't want this guy around any more.

Since the raid he's been on a PR kick, including releasing an album called "Good Times" with pictures of his face holding a flower all over buses around the country: https://www.nbr.co.nz/sites/default/files/story_imgs/BeZ4ZHw...

I don't know nearly enough about the by-the-book legality of what was happening with Megaupload. But to your average Kiwi he's a bit of a disingenuous prick with enough talk of criminal bullshit to make him unpopular. Our small island nation's culture is precious to us.

The NZ government is in bed with America. After being caught red handed they attempted to change the law to justify what they did. The entire raid on him was illegal. Regardless of what he did he is an NZ Pernement Resident. He was meant to be protected by NZ laws and the government ignored those laws to bend over and take it from America.
