When productivity led to vast profits in America’s auto industry, unions ensured that pay rose accordingly.
Corporate efforts to keep profits high by keeping pay low were countered by a robust federal minimum wage and time-and-a-half for overtime.

and now we have vast profits for technology and we despise unions (amazing brainwashing job that was) and give up our rights to overtime in salaried positions (and in federal law, for some dumb reason).
One of the tricky part is documentation. The PDF for an STM32 (something way smaller than a beaglebone or a raspberry) is 1700 pages long, it includes the 69 pages long description of a timer, but doesn't include any ARM core documentation.

RTFM is a nightmare, the time you look at another page for a related device, you have forgotten what you read previously.
If your OCR is unable to recognize the characters on a full page, I don't think it when scanning a region either?
Unless using full resolution of a full image is somehow too much for the algorithm in use.
But then I'd just subdivide the entire image into regions, and scan them all independently. This is also a trivially parallelizable task, so you can throw many servers at it, if the time to get results is an issue.
I'm just asking whether the Philippines' policies are sufficient to deter people from taking drugs. You're the one who is inferring anything on top of that.

It seems to me, however, that the overwhelming priority of our heroin policy should be ensuring that people who aren't already taking heroin don't start. Those who have already got hooked are pretty much doomed already, they should be a lower priority than those who can easily be saved. It seems to me that many people advocate a "softly softly" approach to drug users that fucks over the first group to help the second, and thus ensures that our drug problems continue instead of being wiped out.
Congrats on your launch! Seems like a really slick product.

Have you taken a look at https://cloud.google.com/ml/? I assumed you would have but didn't see anyone mention it in the comments.

Do you see your product as complementary to a service like that? e.g. could you use the Google service as the execution engine for yours? or do you see that as competition?
Which Pi were you using?

I found the first gen Pi wasn't powerful enough for 1080p, but the Pi 2 is. I use my Pi 2 as a torrent box and media center just fine.
I'd say that analyzing a finished mechanical device is similar to examining disassemblies and hex dumps of program files. You're missing information on the manufacturing process, allowable part tolerances, and so on, that the original manufacturers have access to.
So if the developers knew to traverse a binary tree, how many of the 75% succeed?

There is something I've mutated to my own liking called the 80/20 rule. In software, you will spend 20% of your time making the application 80% of it's maximum potential performance. You can then spend the remaining 80% of your time gaining the extra 20%. If that is cost effective to your company, then by all means do it. If it isn't 80% is just fine and you've cut your development costs by 4/5ths.

For me, being able to "rote" an algorithm on some whiteboard falls into the last 20%, maybe. Collection.Sort, whatever it uses, is good enough. Hell, you get about 78% of that 80% by using indexes properly on your RBDBMS.
That should not have been a poll option in the first place because it oversimplifies what it is.
Ah. I'm looking at the first amendment definition, which is indeed somewhat different :)

And even there, we have made that determination e.g. for speech inciting violence. That's a fairly well-defined case, so I assume that's why we all agreed we're OK with that.

As a thought experiment - or, really, to help me understand - what if we declared "fake news" as "intentionally wrong in substantial facts" and had a very clear definition of substantial, and what counts as intent?

Second thought experiment: What if you could still say whatever you wanted, but "fake news" simply wouldn't be content that's promoted into people's streams? Is that still censorship? After all, you can still say whatever you want - but individuals won't have to hear you when they haven't consented?

(I happen to believe that the core issue isn't the fact that there are fake news, but the fact that the various social media ranking algorithms violate consent by injecting things they deem interesting. I.e. it's not about speech, per se - it's about the fact that the platforms allow third parties to inject themselves into conversations unasked)
The OP is making a mountain out of a molehill here. The ad is mildly cringey but not that bad. He's reading into it far too deeply. Surely there are more significant things in the world to dedicate Medium articles to?
> Interesting that the media continues to chide Trump and laud Sweden, if they've both done the same thing.

Strawman.

Either he claims Sweden has immigration problems, which data suggests against, or he suggests Sweden has an immigration problem but they stopped immigration. So which is it?

Either one makes Trump look like an idiot.
Loved putty for years, but these days I've been using mosh over ssh. Having persistent sessions and text prediction means no more dropped connections, no more waiting a couple seconds if the wifi is buggy for whatever reason. Personally I use chrome's mosh extension: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/mosh/ooiklbnjmhbcg...

That's understandable. The path to citizenship is long and naturalized citizens feel very proud about it. It is not an easy path and certainly not without sacrifices. As an immigrant myself, it found it difficult to make that mental adjustment to willingly give up one nation as home and be adopted to another voluntarily. Its a choice. It's bitter sweet. It's complicated.

Those who have had to make hard choices often cannot accept that their sacrifices are being undervalued when someone else can obtain that high hanging precious fruit so very easily and via shortcuts.

I certainly can understand where this immigrant friend of yours come from.. not easy to reconcile all those complicated feelings on the issue of immigration.
True enough: everything went to hell when they started putting the original Homer's writing down on animal skins.
> The reason underwater data centers could be built more quickly than land-based ones is easy enough to understand. Today, the construction of each such installation is unique. The equipment might be the same, but building codes, taxes, climate, workforce, electricity supply, and network connectivity are different everywhere. And those variables affect how long construction takes. We also observe their effects in the performance of our facilities, where otherwise identical equipment exhibits different levels of reliability depending on where it is located.

In the context of the discussion about cost disease, this is quite remarkable for demonstrating how regulation and local differences have raised costs to the point that a large company is seriously considering building data centres beneath the waves.
There is no possible plan for healthcare to the right of Romneycare, because it is already the most conservative way to provide healthcare to people: for profit insurance, for profit hospitals, for profit pharma, with a mandate for healthy people to buy insurance on a market. Romneycare is essentially what Nixon proposed way back (it got rejected by the Dems at the time because they insisted on universal healthcare).

People who are to the right of Romney like Cruz or Ryan are opposed to the idea that government should provide healthcare, a position so radical that no republican held it 30 years ago.
Thompson specifically says that he doesn't trust Zuckerberg with that power. Even though Thompson suspects that he and Zuckerberg probably want the same global outcomes, he is inherently suspicious of any centrally controlled entity.

> my discomfort arises from my strong belief that centralized power is both inefficient and dangerous: no one person, or company, can figure out optimal solutions for everyone on their own, and history is riddled with examples of central planners ostensibly acting with the best of intentions — at least in their own minds — resulting in the most horrific of consequences; those consequences sometimes take the form of overt costs, both economic and humanitarian, and sometimes those costs are foregone opportunities and innovations. Usually it’s both.
I'm curious about why you have a static website hosted by someone else, but then host your own comments? Is there some advantage to keeping the comments separated from the content?

Slight clarification:

The key thing is that you want the delta (between exercise price and FMV) to be as small as possible — at the time of exercise.

If you exercise any time but (effectively) immediately upon being granted your ISOs, you're liable for the taxes on the delta between your strike price and the FMV at time of exercise. If you exercise immediately, that should be zero. But it's that delta — between strike price and FMV at time of exercise — that can factor into AMT in a particularly surprising, and often very unpleasant way.

Forward-exercising and making an 83(b) election also starts the clock ticking on capital gains tax. Effectively, if you're starting at a brand new unicorn, and exercise your entire grant on Day 1, you'll only owe Long-Term Capital Gains tax (15%, instead of regular income rates — or, worse, AMT) on the entirety of your (initial) option grant, the day you hit your vesting cliff.

I did all this and still failed the SafetyNet check on a Motorola X Style.
ok, I'll start.

I think the article starts on its best point, and then never comes back to it. There is less editorial process than there used to be. It's not inconsistent to fail to adhere to your own style if one of the methods that you use to adhere to your own style is an editor.

Writing communicatively is hard, but testing whether your writing is communicative is easy, just have someone (else) try to read it, and tell you if they found it convincing.

Why did the author not come back to this? It seems like it should be the point of the article.

I don't consider that a problem since Linux has always been mainly in the focus of developers. Linux is a top choice if you want a reliable work horse for your work which doesn't annoy with unwanted features.

Usual users are mostly gamers and surfers. They get along with the limitations of Windows and iOS, so they don't need Linux, and that's the actual reason for the small percentage of desktop Linux.
Credit cards don't have radios in them with 24/7 internet connections and software vulnerabilities.

Ask HN: Wes Clark stories
Tossing this one into the ether in case it works:

I'm Wes Clark's grandson (see: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11183970 if you're not sure who he is). It's now a year since his death and his nearest and dearest are gathering on the anniversary. Given the great outpouring of feeling from last year, it strikes me that there might be something from this community I can deliver to his (and my) family. If there's something we might not know, if there's a memory you would appreciate being repeated, post here and I'll relay it tomorrow -- anything is more than welcome. All thanks from me and mine.
Thanks for the insight this provides. Any chance you could share this spreadsheet template?
Actually I had no idea what the demographic percentages of the US were before I looked them up.

Your original point was that you thought Google wasn't interested in hiring male engineers anymore. The current demographics of Google are irrelevant to Google's hiring strategy. Why would they be?

You're not only displaying confirmation bias in the way you are trying to undermine the clearest quantification you have access to, but you're also avoiding your original statement.

You initially presented the lifeatgoogle twitter feed as evidence, and you had no quantifiable evidence that it was biased. Now that you do have a quantification, you're walking back the importance of that evidence. Perhaps you're doing this so you can maintain your poorly quantified view?

If only you gave as much latitude to other people.

Well, like you said, it really depends on what you'll be doing. Granted, there are different paths one's trajectory will take, and you won't know them in advance.

On the other hand though, I wouldn't presume to write my own cryptographic protocol without having the fundamentals myself. Wouldn't you say that it's actually reasonable to learn this on your own? There are so many options, paid, or free, that can help you with this. You could take a Coursera class, or follow an open source curriculum like someone said in the comments down below.

You did say "most individuals" struggle to learn in such a way, but the argument can be made that individuals studying cryptographic principles are not "most people", which, if not intelligence, shows a special kind of perseverence and dedication that will also differentiate them in self-study. I wouldn't say what you're saying is immediately obvious.
I'm pretty happy with YNAB, have been using it since September. People complain about having to manually add transactions but I find it helps keep you disciplined to a further extent.
Yep. Pulseaudio works similarly with enough poking and prodding.

I was able to do stuff like watch cat videos on youtube with sound at full speed (though presumably not hardware accelerated).
From my admittedly limited experience at Google, given the size of the input data even a "small" project deals with those little algorithmic inefficiencies really add up quickly. You have to do a lot of optimizing and using clever data structures to make something work at all.
>The only way to seriously increase Linux desktop adoption is for availability of Linux pre-instsalled computers to significantly rise

I don't know if there's a term for this, but ironically, that's like a self-destructive goal. Most people who use Linux currently would wipe the hard drive as the first thing if they bought a laptop that came preinstalled with an OS. So if everyone became an enlightened linux user, everyone would start wiping their drives right after buying the machine, invalidating the need for preloading in the first place.
Personally, I think Trello is pretty crappy. Unlike you, I'll give some examples:

- Not usable without browser plugins

- Referencing cards from other systems impossible (no stable urls)

- Referencing other systems from cards difficult. For example, try referencing a commit in a repo

- Not all actions on cards are logged

- Referencing cards from within cards in a stable way is impossible (hello web!)

- Limited keyboard control

- Changing certain things concurrently does not warn user

- Only two part hierarchy

- The complexity of over engineering processes shows up in a year in both JIRA and Trello. But in Trello you can't blame the program.

- Drag and drop frustrations in Firefox

- Side scrolling nightmare when pasting long logs because of narrow design of cards

- Endless gimmicks

- Advertisements in cards for plugins (at least I think it was)

I can go on, but I think I've made my point. Could you give specific reasons why you don't like JIRA?

The German legal system does not simply do multiples. Assuming everything is judged together at a trial the process is roughly as follows: First it is checked whether everything was done in a single criminal act (which is defined pretty broadly)[1]. In that case, it is just one crime with one maximum. If not, the sentence is usually much less than the sum of single sentences would be (rule of thumb is "offense with maximal punishment + 1/2 sum of the rest" but can be even less). Everything is capped at 15 years unless there was a crime demanding lifelong imprisonment.

If there are seperate trials (even for totally seperate crimes), the sentences are also combined as per above at the later trial (unless the former sentence was already executed).

As far as I know this is not unusual worldwide. Certainly other European countries use a similar system.

[1]: Wikipedia tells me that the US system doesn't ask that question at all. I know absolutely nothing about copyright cases in particular but e.g. starting a filesharing client that distributes many files to many people is still a single criminal act in Germany (civil law is different of course).
I'm glad what he did worked, but I would have suggested starting with diet first and as the pounds start coming off, start slowly ramping up the exercise.
That's just not possible to authoritatively state. The best you can do is "this shouldn't normally cause a noticeable impact on most systems".

As just one example, what you're stat()ing over NFS with a busy, flaky and/or distant server? A bit of thought and you'll come up with a bunch of other times it suddenly starts to matter.

I do agree that it should be noted that people specifically want GNU to be big. Chromium OS and Chrome OS are fantastic operating systems that are very capable. And it's Linux. No, you cannot "apt-get install GTKapplication", but it's still very Gentoo underneath the GUI. Of course you still want a more general purpose distribution for general purpose needs.
I am a minority when I say that I don't want the Linux desktop to flourish?

I've been using Linux since 1996. Though I also use Windows and OSX, I haven't been without a Linux machine for 20 years, and I've seen a lot.

It seems the more Linux distributions try to target the "average user" they just dumb it down and/or make it more proprietary. I can barely stand using Ubuntu these days for that reason.

I know, it's configurable, I can change anything I want but I don't really want to see that trend continue. I would like to see innovation focused on making Linux better for work, not focusing on the average Joe who doesn't want/need it.

I wasn't really an embedded developer ever but I worked at an industrial IoT company for awhile and used to just get handed devices which I was supposed to connect to the internet and figure out how to make them send useful data to us.

Besides the undocumented proprietary protocols which isn't embedded specific as a backend engineer I used to struggle heavily with development environment setup. As a JVM and Python guy I'm not used to fucking with weird compiler tool chains at all.
