But you have somewhat reinforced my point. This study draws conclusions from results for which there may be many other causal factors. The fact that a given state legalized gay marriage says that the state's lawmakers, and presumably the people that elected them, are inclusive types of people. But the implied conclusion that this study came to - that if any state wants to reduce teen suicide, it should just enshrine gay marriage in state law - is not supported by the data upon which this study is based (at least not by itself). This gets downvotes whenever it is said on HN, but in this case...correlation most certainly does not imply causation.
Would you mind answering a few questions? I'm curious how you published your novel (self vs traditional), how you marketed, what your sales were like, etc.

Working on web apps is unavoidable when that is what customers are willing to pay for, on my own private devices outside work hours, pure native applications are the rules of the house.

> have to put our words into sugar coated ass kissery

If you frame it this way then sure, it's cowardly to do that and it becomes a matter of principle not to. But you know the phrase 'all models are wrong, some are useful'? On HN, this is not a useful model.

There are some systems in which no-holds-barred aggression actually works, i.e. leads to interesting outcomes. Examples include rugby teams that beat the crap out of each other on the pitch and then go out drinking together, literary circles where the game is to be as poisonously witty as possible, or the mathematical world, where the only thing that matters is whether you can prove what you say (though people tend to exaggerate that aspect and ignore the social one). These systems have in common that they're small, well-defined, and strongly cohesive. Such communities can withstand violence because other forces hold them together.

HN is not like that. The community is large, ill-defined and weakly cohesive, and there are no forces other than civility holding it together. What happens here if people start throwing their elbows around (as you did in your comment above) is that we get massive flareups, all the interesting animals leave the forest, only the people with grievances and flamethrowers remain and then ('hey, where did everybody go?') even they leave. Then we have scorched earth, or heat death—not an interesting outcome. For this not to happen, HN needs protecting. HN users need to understand that participating here means optimizing for curiosity, which requires a sustainably interesting community.

You complain that people aren't judging your content, but actually everything you post is content—there's nothing else there. You don't get to decide how that content gets classified. If you put turds in the punch bowl and expect people to consider your punch on its merits, that's another unhelpful model.

Is that the conclusion the study comes to? Or is that an assumption you've made based on the headline here and not having read the study?
>>> If you set a dollar bill on fire that's wasting money.

As I said, I don't care about wasting money. Do so as you wish.

>>> If you throw away a dollar's worth of rice, for no reason, that's about the same.

Yeah, economically speaking. But you are literally wasting more food in this case, and for no good reason other than people literally having to do their job.

>>> However, there are plenty of ways to donate the dollar and not so many ways to usefully donate the rice

You are not donating anything in this conversation! It's not like he's donating the bun to anyone. You are comparing wasting a bun vs wasting rice. It's still a waste, and one is worse than the other, for the same price. You don't feel that wasting 100g of kobe beef is less worse than wasting 100 kg of generic beef?

>>> My position is that saving a hamburger bun is not worth making someone's day worse who works in a hamburger shop.

They literally have to do less work.

Finally, what is your point?!?! That is ok to waste food intentionally? Seriously?! Even if it's a trivial amount in money, you realise it adds up, right? It's a real problem, and it's not a financial problem. Are you just being a contrarian for no good reason? Is "agree to disagree" not good enough for you?
It's dozens of cycles to do a DIV. On Skylake the various DIV instructions range from 23 to 95 cycles. That's longer than a pipeline stall.

In the army, any combat staff with a rank of sergeant or better should have what it takes to be calm in that situation. That's why there are residencies.

With students, the nurses are often keeping it cool until the student calms down. Many people can learn to stay calm.

The key difference is that proxy servers don't copy content. They reflect it. You can put any URL on the internet behind a proxy server-- that does not mean that the proxy server has already copied the entire internet. Nor does it mean that once a URL has been proxied by a proxy server does the content remain cached or copied-- since in our case at Hypothesis, and we presume at Genius, it does not.

This is a key distinction that separates proxies from caches and archives.
> urged companies to explain the benefits of automated vehicles to a skeptical public.

As a "tech guy" myself I have trouble fathoming a position of skepticism around the benefits of self-driving vehicles.

I know it is generally a good idea to be skeptical even as a "devil's advocate" but to my mind, there are so many upsides that it is hard to connect with me?
When writing LinkedIn profiles for my resume and coaching clients, I advise them to turn endorsements "off". Under the Skills section is a "Adjust Endorsement Settings" listing that you can click to turn it off.

Endorsements tend to be just extra noise with all those pictures, and on many profiles there is rather important information (education, projects, etc.) below the skills section. You don't want your reader getting lost in the endorsements before getting to some useful info.
Right, but if a cop pulled over a random hypothetical person after they ran a red light, how would we all expect that conversation to happen?

"Do you know why I pulled you over?"

"No" lie #1

"Did you know you ran that red light back there?"

"No, it was yellow when I went through" lie #2

"Here's the ticket"

person shows up to court to fight the ticket by claiming their innocence, lie #3

Again, no excusing Uber's behavior, just pointing to a double standard. We fully expect human drivers to run red lights, and we fully expect them to lie about it. There's no excuse for Uber's response and no excuse for their software running a red light, but there's similarly no excuse for humans doing it. Yet humans do it all the time and no one really cares.

Like if we're going to report headline news every time a Tesla catches on fire, we should have breaking news stop-the-presses coverage every time a gasoline or diesel powered car catches on fire, too. But we don't because it's much more frequent, to the point where we almost expect it.
I think there's a broader problem though -- the rigid coupling between a) whether you've published, and b) whether you've done something worthwhile, and c) the minimal size of a publishable unit.

This forces scientists to "repurpose" the journal article to signal a lot more than "hey, we did this and something interesting is going on." Anyone who contributed wants to get their name on it, and the publication is viewed as some reward rather than a test of an ideas merit (as in the "we promise to publish even you're wrong", that you're describing).

I think it would be better if we had some fine-grained system for documenting everyone's contribution, like a git DAG. Then you could separate the question of "Alice collected this data" from "Bob proposed a great hypothesis about it" and "Charlie tried to replicate it" and "so-and-so has something publishable".
What do you propose that we do with the 4004s?
I would agree, though frequently the same is true for human dialogue too; that being clever social engineering is the key and that actual intelligence is rarely a factor.

To be fair, I frequently get mistaken for being a bot.

I wonder if they are useful at all just as: number of endorsements / number of connections.

Even if the tag is wrong, that someone vouched for you in some minor way might be statistically significant.

Of course, it could be that the UI encourages mindless tagging, therefore it's all cruft.

In 2016, I called Apple about a 2011 Macbook Air (purchased with AppleCare, expired in 2014) about its bulging battery.

After a short conversation with a tier-2 support person, they agreed to replace the battery for free. They were also willing to replace the keyboard and bottom case, if there were any permanent deformations (there weren't). I took it in to my local Apple Store and they had it back to me in 48 hours.

I'm sure this is a YMMV issue, so the best lesson is perhaps to call several times until you get a good answer.

Very true - we are treated like a replaceable cog. We all have a craving to feel important. But i think i personally dislike the language in the industry - resource. I am a human being for god's sake not a 'resource'. I have feelings and emotions and i wanna feel like a human,not a number. Also, i noticed non-tech people seem to be into management - they simply dont understand software. This causes part of the frustration. They seem to think, you can replace one person with another and the machinery would work fine - it wont. on top of it, they are the one planning unreasonable timelines too.
So much for my hopes of them removing it from Firefox. Uhg.

I've been considering just deleting my LI account. It essentially has just been a sink for terrible recruiter mail; in 12 years of having an account I don't think I've once received any sort of actionable message through it.

I've also turned off the endorsements because I was just getting driveby endorsements for things like J2EE.

Is there a job-search downside to deleting your account, provided you have a decent Google cross section otherwise via conference talks, blog, github, etc?

I can't tell if LinkedIn has marketed itself into an actual perception that not having an account means you don't care about career or the like.

Lets say you have an ecommerce firm. When a user is browsing an item(diapers?), at a mimimum he/she expects to see images, description, reviews, cost, tax, delivery dates, promotions, related items. In addition to what you see on frontend, in the backend, there may be jobs run for analytics, revenue reconciliation, warehouse management optimization, carrier management, fraud checks, item data setup and a host of other activities. Each of these tasks has its own complex business logic and typically has its own team. Each team runs a service, possibly in the form of a REST API call. You can call them microservices.
Yeah, the endorsement stuff is just tag spam.

They encourage people to endorse their friends, and they give us some tags. Lots of people will, on the theory they're somehow helping their friends, do this thing.

But the tags they offer have a tenuous relationship with reality.
This is weird. Has Mozilla acquired any startups in the past? Feels weird to me for a browser non-profit to own a web app product.

I agree. This is why the Christian concept of marriage should not be imposed on others, like Muslims and Mormons who are perfectly happy with polygamy.
Uh....

"Against their preference" does not mean "against their will." I'm referring to gay people consensually having heterosexual sex in order to procreate.
First they came for the swears . . .

We should be very concerned about a precedent where we adapt or censor potentially objectionable content.

Next is content not in alignment with the schools ideologies or politics, for what is essential to a work?

These aren't abstract tin-foil hat concerns either: In 1982 Texas banned a geography textbook for mentioning evolution [1]. Publishers are financially incentivized to publish. These mechanisms enable those in power to control the information presented to children and students to suit their agendas (even while their own children attend private schools not subject to their decisions).

>According to Time magazine, the list of the most banned books of all time include . . . “Brave New World,” by Aldous Huxley; “1984,” by George Orwell

We should be pretty uptight about censorship.

Dev Bootcamp circa 2013 alumnus here.

I can't speak for how bootcamps are now, or the state in which DBC exists in 2017, but I can say that my cohort(s) were made up of lots of men and women and people ranging from border-line genius level to those with no programming experience. Those who came out and landed careers were the same individuals who had the drive and the passion, plain & simple. A person looking to be handed knowledge on a silver platter, eventually leading to a golden key to land a job, will be sadly mistaken no matter what kind of school they go to.

As others have said, it would be good for her to start learning to program on her own so she can see if she actually has any interest. It will sound cruel for me to say this but, if she hasn't already taken the initiative herself, the chances are low that she's cut out for it. Note that what I said just now is strictly my opinion. It certainly doesn't mean it's too late for her to begin now, but the drive is super important. This is coming from someone who went into a field knowing very little about it but expecting that passing the courses was going to land them a high-paying job. I switched to programming because I was forced to look in my heart and decide whether or not I was going to struggle to bestow bad art on to the world(as if there isn't too much already) for some short-lived glory. Plus I was already programming and already had the drive; I just needed reality and some good people to give me a good kick in the right direction for me.

Determining the legitimacy of a boot camp is difficult. I don't know that you really can. But what I got out of my boot camp was not so much an education but the space and the resources to accelerate my process into taking a full dive into web development, Agile, etc. On a technical level, there's almost nothing that a boot camp does that you can't get out of an online course. Heck, you could form your own "boot camp" with a Meetup group and spend maybe 1/100 the amount you'd spend on a boot camp tuition. A person has to go into a boot camp expecting a space, resources, and some leadership, rather than a concrete curriculum. At the end of the day, you can work for a company and not even include your education on your resume so long as the work that you have done stands out.
