How is any of this evidence that the trump administration is working with Russia?

The connections alone don't mean a whole lot and the rest you have is just words. If trump was truly in the can for Russia, why wouldn't he just say bad things about putin to score more political points and distract people from his true motives?

Are we to believe that Putin would not allow trump to trash him in order to further his tangible goals?
Ask HN: How to implement an NLP grammar parser for a new natural language?
As a novice with NLP, having tinkered before with some basic and naive models to do NLP, I would like to learn it properly this time by creating a grammar parser for a language, for which no current model is available publicly.
I can easily access a corpus of sentences for this language, and speaking it myself, I am motivated enough to produce any data needed for this.

Where would you recommend to start for such a project, both in terms of minimal theoretical and practical knowledge, but also the engineering aspect of it?

My Macbook Air 13-inch 2015.

Battery lasts a long time. It recharges super quick. It's incredibly lightweight. It's incredibly thin. It's trackpad clicks "for real". No plastic, or shitty finish.

I can't believe they don't make them anymore. It's easily Apple's best hardware hand's down.

Ugh, yes, this happens so often: something is implemented badly, so we propose to add the same thing again under a different name and with subtle differences, assuming it'll be implemented right this time.

If possible, it's better to try and get the implementations fixed. That may not even require changes to the standard.

It's incredibly scary that some of the same people who would have defended snowden for his revelations on the deep state are now praying for the same deep state to enact a Coup d'état.

> The driver said that Uber gave him more business, but he didn’t make as much

I asked many Uber drivers (outside and inside my own country), and they all LOVED uber (bottom line - more jobs, more money, even if smaller profit margins per job)

I think in general it was much more appreciated in third world countries. (And also by me, safety-wise. regular yellow taxi drivers could be extremely dangerous in these places. so many tricks to make on tourists).

I truelly cannot remember a negative comment about it.

> I was planning to tip him well, but couldn’t find the tip option like the one I’ve seen in the Lyft app

I think that the rating system is much more powerful (even economically) than a $$$ tip.

A 5-start rating is even better than a $ tip - you will (in the long run, if others rate you high as well) make more jobs (thus more money) if you have a great rating.

Same goes the other way around:
Giving 1-2 stars is even more criticizing than not leaving a tip - if your average rating is lower you will get less jobs. if it's below some threshold - game over.

I myself would prefer (if I were an Uber driver) that you just gave me a pampering 5-star rating and then have a nice day :)

That's for a header, not a heading. A heading is a line of text providing a title for a section. A header is a part of the top of a page.

Isn't this what we mean when we talk about democracies with "well established institutions". In other words, isn't it a feature not a bug? The public institutions wield power just like the press, the judiciary, the legislature etc. And policy that does not meet with a broad acceptance by all sections of society gets blocked one way or another.
This is one of those surprisingly subtle things that's particularly difficult for native speakers to explain, and things are complicated even more by the fact that British English and US English vary slightly in their usage. I personally wouldn't call "I've" completely incorrect in those sentences (though some may say otherwise), but it does sound "off" to American ears.

Now replaced by a 2015 13" MBP, which feels almost identical (although that Retina screen is goooood... as is the HDMI port).

And I can still sell most of the 2011 MBP parts on eBay to get some of my investment back!

As a person who does not necessarily enjoy drinking (nor does so very regularly), I would say that being sober around people who are drunk is objectively less enjoyable than being drunk around drunk people.

In fact a graph of my enjoyment as a non-drinker (in my experience) would probably be inverse to a graph of the enjoyment of the people getting progressively more shit-faced.
header is metadata about the page and other related resources.

This is dealing with the semantic issue of, for example, web components not knowing enough about the context they are in to be able to declare the correct heading tag (h1, h2, h3... etc) as a static tag
> A heading is a line of text providing a title for a section.

Which is exactly what <header> is trying to be.

> …introductory content for its nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element. A header typically contains a group of introductory or navigational aids.

> When the nearest ancestor sectioning content or sectioning root element is the body element, then it applies to the whole page.

Want to know how to piss off a photographer?

"These are great pictures, you must have a great camera!"

Caveat: You can take great pictures with a camera-phone but you can't take every type of shot.

I think any DSLR with a good choice of glass (lenses) would be able to reproduce most of these shots. More expensive camera bodies are only slightly better in the optical sense but are MUCH better constructed.

Framing, aperture selection and patience plays a bigger part. Most photographers take a prolific amount of pictures, expect to only keep about 1-10% of the shots you take.

Except for some bizarre restrictions on functionality. You can drag and drop books onto the Kindle like a thumb drive (awesome!), but there isn't support for folders (not awesome!). If you want to organise huge quantities of books into collections which is, after all, the point of the Kindle, you have to do it manually on the device. Or you use Calibre, but I feel like that's a negative point because most consumers won't know about it.

Is it so hard to view as a directory structure rather than listing all the books recursively?

That and they seem to have removed the 3G for web browsing, so now owning a cellular Kindle is pretty much useless unless you're really desperate to get a book abroad.
So, basically, you didn't actually want anyone to answer your original question, from what I can tell -- you just wanted to repeatedly affirm you were right-all-along?

A jury didn't decide she was wrong. That's not what juries do. A jury decided that they couldn't all unanimously agree beyond a shadow of a doubt that she was right. Just because a jury doesn't convict doesn't mean the problem didn't happen.

That really hit me recently the whole comment about "The leaks are true but the news is fake" from trump.

I Immediately understood what he meant, that while the information may be true it's not the full picture and it can also be skewed by editorializing.

The fact that some in the media were outright saying "I don't know what he means by that, that makes 0 sense" is incredibly worrying that journalists can't see this.
> not "the people they where looking for".

I think you're confused with the meanings of were and where.
Were - plural of was
Where - denoting a place. As in - where was this?

I second that. However, if you also want to use it as a messenger bag, I prefer my Vaude Bayreuth II, since its hook mechanism can be closed.

With my Ortlieb bag, I
regularily get stuck with one of the hooks in the back pockets of my trousers, so I have a habit of always removing the hooks altogether if I'm not using my bike, which is a bit of an annoyance. The Ortlieb bag is much more durable however.
One way to think of it is in terms of the expected value of betting on being correct. Even if the bet only happens once ever, I still need a way to map how confident I am to how much I think the bet is worth. If I am willing to pay up to $0.73 for a bet that pays out $1 when I'm correct then I am 73% certain.
Even though its a perpetual beta-program and the engineers break stuff every other update, I can't imagine life without it.

I've used a microwave which has one dial. You can turn it clockwise or anticlockwise to add/remove cooking time, which is fine.

The designers thought it'd be good to allow pressing the dial, as if it was a button. Pressing the dial set the cooking time to 30 seconds and immediately started cooking. A one-touch interface, how useful!

The only problem was that it was difficult to press the dial without accidentally nudging it clockwise or anticlockwise. Nine times out of ten I managed to turn it anticlockwise, which set a time of 95 hours or thereabouts - and began cooking.

I hate to think what may have happened in some people's houses where they've done this, not noticed that it said 95 hours and forgotten it was cooking.

I'm an HR professional. I've done extensive consulting to organization of people processes and HR functioning. I've found that companies typically get what they pay for in their HR department. Many organization echo the sentiment that many contributors on HN have (i.e., that HR is a sometimes necessary evil; the people are marginally skilled; etc.). Organizations that have that mentality of HR hire HR teams that are fine at transactional work, "saying yes", and managing to targets. And then when situations arise - either acute situations like sexual harassment or problems that manifest over longer timeframes - they pay the price.

Like any department, HR should be staffed with intelligent, values-driven leaders with the spine to take strong perspectives and the ability to form collaborative vs. transactional relationships with the business. Constantly saying "yes" and failing to push back or take principled stands is not collaborative. Yet that is what many young companies want out of their HR department. I've found this more true in young(er) tech companies, though my sample size is limited.

When you build your HR function as a transactional service center, you get short-sighted decision-making.

That's all just my professional opinion.

Interestingly, there's a paper "Lockhart's Lament"[1], on math education written about 15 years ago that proposes an absurd world from a musician's nightmare where formalized music education is mandatory but playing music is generally discouraged.

The point, poorly summarized, is that it resembles math education where a soltary focus on calculation distracts from learning how to do the type of math that only professional mathematicians seem allowed to do now.

It's worth reading if only to see how it often seems like the grass is greener for the educational environment of other fields.

Dyer and Jenkins black cotton T-shirts.

I wear jeans and a black T-shirt basically every day, but I noticed a lot of the black T-shirts I purchased wore out quickly and started to fade right away. So I Googled "best black T-shirts" one day and a Reddit thread led me to Dyer and Jenkins. I've been wearing them for a year now and they have hardly faded and look just about as good as when I first bought them.

Dyer and Jenkins often gives away half off coupons as well, so I normally wait for one of those deals before I order a new set: https://www.dyerandjenkins.com/collections/tees/products/3-p...
Although the reasons aren’t quite known, MS Excel doesn’t have a good reputation among data analysts.

Just stopped there :
+ not working on linux, paying on MacOS and Windows
+ proprietary format: hard to get data in / out from other tools (for instance, but not limited to, python lib, R lib, matlab (if some of us still want to use matlab) and all tools built upon those libs)
+ sucks for any real-sized dataset (try to handle 10k+ rows, not even thinking about 1M+ rows)

Those 3 reasons alone mean that you need to pay for a tool which would hardly do the job a team ask for, if only it works on their OSs, and won't be able to share it with other teams.

I worked as an assistant mechanic for a few years, and it was a running joke that if something took me more than 15 minutes, the head mechanic probably had a tool to do it in 1.

It's incredible how much a good tool helps, and it really goes to show the difference between a rookie and a master even when they are both doing the exact same job by reading the steps from a sheet that tells you what to do.

I'd reach for a socket, he'd grab my arm and hand me a ratcheting wrench knowing I'd need it before we even cracked open the hood.

I'd try to unscrew a stuck phillips head screw from a rotor, he'd stop me and hand me a tool which you put in the screw and hit with a hammer and it gets it unstuck.

I'd start trying to pry an exhaust off, he'd hand me a blowtorch, tell me to heat it for like 15 seconds, then hit it with a hammer and watch it fall to the ground.
Oh, the basic syntax is fine. I'm a Vim user ;) And even before that, s///g was also part of my slang.
