This is just myopic and naive. The complexity of the problems in China as well as the solutions can't just be summed up as good or bad. Based on population alone, governance needs to be different. Tech workers especially should know that a change in order of magnitide often requires a fundamentally different approach. Democracy failed even in ancient greece with a much smaller population.

That's not to say that democratic principles aren't effective, but pure democracy often creates mob rule unless the population is equally homogenous and educated.

With 4-5 times the amount of people, even if China has triple the amount of shit happening as the US, it's still doing well. And that's just population. Add in the fact that China is so large that it can basically be thought of as multiple countries and territories in various stages of development and it's no small wonder the whole thing doesnt collapse. Nevermind lifting millions out of poverty.

You know what happened last time in China the power was given to the people? The cultural revolution happened. Educated people like prodessor and writers were beaten up every day by their fellow citizens until they committed suicide. Everyone was equal, and if you were smarter or richer then you were torn down.

tldr; it's more complex than you think.

At this point (danbruc correctly covered the first part of my point) you have basically reinvented an arbitrary precision library by storing the numerator, denominator and then having a utility function to choose the exact behavior of the result when converting back to numbers you use for storage and show to the user.

This isn't a fixed point number system, because you are now using a non-fixed point number representation (e.g. two numbers; which can't be represented in fix point because of their repeating nature) to represent your fraction. Trying to get all of that behavior right is more error prone than just using an arbitrary precision library in the first place.

I'll post my personal experiences with this software - it was not enjoyable and I felt it was mostly a waste of time. I didn't feel like it effectively conveyed the idea and purpose of the lessons it was trying to give. Ultimately, it was kind of a waste of time...

Grow up. You're defending destroying society so you can get what YOU think is right (based on how much it increases your net worth?). Did you similarly fight for the end of copyright? Did you join the pirate party? What about racial equality or gender equality ? Did you fight for those with the same fervor you propose to fight tor Ubers profits? For a company to replace a million others? that's all that's happening btw - one million small businesses are being replaced by one huge one, with a price advantage only because it erodes or destroyers worker protections.

Get a grip. Under any reasonable government Uber would be destroyed tomorrow under the same argument as pirate bay or a torrent tracker - it's conductive to illegality.
Just because a lawyer has said something is "OK" doesn't make it legal. Lawyers (even expensive ones) give bad advice all the time for lots of various reasons, or advice that isn't bad at the time, but bad going forward.

Did the lawyer understand this was being used to circumvent the law? Or did they understand it was to prevent violations of their terms of service? Is it possible the company either changed the plan after the lawyer saw it, or didn't fully explain the capacities to the lawyer?

Accused of a crime? Likely not to many of the scenarios you mentioned. Indicted on criminal charges? Likely yes, but that's why we have criminal indictments. It makes it much harder for the government to falsely accuse you of a crime.
GM is not a <typical tech company where torn jeans are completely appropriate>.

The Formula I Use to Win High Paying Clients
Point taken :-)

But I don't think I'm advancing a conspiracy theory. There's a genuine crisis at Uber, and that's the important issue here; if a hundredth of what's been alleged is true then that's the main event here and all of this is really Valley inside-baseball navel-gazing. Let's not draw moral false equivalences here.

Still, as a student of Valley dynamics, one has to acknowledge that realpolitik exists whenever things go really wrong. Given that, it's worth wondering whether any parties can take advantage of those conditions, especially given the non-existent state of board oversight in tightly-held SV companies. Chris Sacca and Mitch Kapor have already gone to the press on this (publically), so it's not even that much of a reach.

This is, in some really grim ways, an opportunity which doesn't come around very often.
Instead of using separate monad transformers, we use a single "World" that knows how to provide Redis, logging, iOS, and other typeclass instances.

There is a RealWorld that runs on top of IO and a FakeWorld that runs on top of pure State for unit testing.

This means that we have to wrap every single API into our own "SupportsRedis" and similar APIs, but in the end I think it's worth it! Unit tests are super fast and not intermittent at all.

Absolutely the most important group affected here.
I just moved to a new company so I can talk about the H1b transfers. When you apply for a H1b transfer, currently it is taking 8-9 months before you can get the final approval. You can however work for the new company while this process is going on.

That said, you (or your employer) can pay about $1k which sort of puts your application at the top of the pile. If you go down this route, you end up getting the approval in about 2 weeks.

There are reasons why people choose premium processing. For example if they have to go out of the country within the next 6-8 months, it is best if you have the H1b approval documents with you.
Do you remember how hard it used to be to hail a cab in SF? There was an entrenched system that was bad for drivers, bad for passengers and great for the 1% that owned the taxi medallions. A long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, I'm sure the system made sense but it had been abused by entrenched interests to enrich themselves. Look at NYC, medallions used to go for $1M+ and are becoming worthless.

If your entire industry crumbles when you face competition, you're not the "good guys."

Does anybody happen to know why the water flows down the spillway in waves? Best seen right in the first GIF. I am curious what the mechanism behind that is. Is this a general phenomenon of water flowing down an inclined plane or is it caused by other oscillations, waves on the reservoir, resonances in the outlet system, or something along that line?
It looks like they still support "expedite criteria"[1]

Perhaps "premium processing" is expedited without a justification.

People who criticize gentrification usually don't excuse the landlord. In fact, most community orgs that fight gentrification target their protests against the landlords. In NYC, for example, it's usually targeted at landlords forcing tenants out of rent-controlled units, and developers that replace low or mixed income housing with fully luxury buildings.

It's not even a complete list! E.g. airline reservation systems break for people with single character last name. Which happens.

How so? The OEMs want to make hardware that runs Windows. Microsoft provides a specification[0] and certification suites[1] that defines what "Windows-compatible" means, which OEMs then follow. Nothing coercive about that.

There is no open standard that defines what a PC is. Linux and other operating systems are piggybacking on the Windows PC standard. If they want OEMs to manufacture hardware to their standards, they'll have to create their own "Linux-compatible" specification and persuade OEMs to follow it.

at least our organs are intact and not being harvested by the government.
It's a good way to deal with scarcity. And scarcity is definitely an issue when the government agency in question doesn't necessarily have the resources available to them to actually perform at the level that they need to due to funding and political football.

Paying a premium for expedited service is fine (I'm sure you've paid USPS a few extra bucks to mail your package faster), but I do agree that it should be applied judiciously.
Well, good for you if you are perfect and there is nothing that distracts you but willpower is a limited resource and self-control consumes that resource. Try it yourself and put something that attracts you in front of you and start working. It will lower your productivity.
Manipulation != Coercion.

Yes both are problems but libertarianism claims to solve only one of those. For the other one, if you are unable, follow/place-your-trust-on someone else. There is no need to solve one problem by creating bigger problem.
Rust doesn't do single inheritance, basically.

If they had fields, what would you do when you implemented two of them on a struct? It also muddles up the ability to tack on traits in later crates.

Traits aren't supposed to be used the way you do single inheritance. Rust prefers composition over inheritance, so you combine structs and enums to get what you want there.
In the standard library today, there's no bounds on `K` on the definition of HashMap, only on the impl block containing its methods. This sort of makes HashMap a bad example for this code block; you're right that if the bounds were on the definition instead of the impl, the argument itself would be invalid.
> But that is what you're suggesting

No, it isn't. I've said repeatedly they'd be much more accurate than humans, and much less biased than humans.

You keep taking a black-and-white version of my arguments, arguing against that, and moving the goalposts. I'm not sure you're debating in good faith.
So, ship version one, early, and figure out whether it's worth keeping at all, or whether to kill it and not waste time on versions 2 and 3.

Seeking a help of marketer, freecoach startup idea
We are two developers, backend and frontend, both experienced and have an experience making project from scratch. We want to make an MVP, but we are not sure about the idea and how to involve people into using the product.
The idea is chatroulette for motivation. We match people in pairs to help each other achieve their goals. They will have to reach out every day or every weekend and tell each what they have done in a previous period. The main idea is - when you are on your own, its simpler to get lazy and not to do the stuff you planned to do. The other use of the product will be as the online couching instrument.
We want an advice on how to reach out to people that want to use our product. Or, if you are sure you know how to lead this product to success, I would enjoy seeing you as a partner.
Not illegal, but almost always a major violation of company protocol and a very good reason to get fired with prejudice. But Uber seems like the kind of corporate culture where that kind of thing is tolerated, if not basically encouraged.
A few years ago I would have been the victim of a terrorist attack in Jerusalem had I not gone into a store to buy a candy bar.
Wolf in the sheep's clothing. When GovernMint says something you should look for whats hidden in the policy.

1. So if I want to change companies now I have to wait for few months to get the new petition in hand. Tell me I can't travel to my home country during this period!

This is essentially friction to job changing. This is clearly against the current administration's policy of Murica first and no to cheap labor.

2. On OPT ? Wait for unknown period of time to know if H1B gets picked in lottery or if it gets approved. Better go home.

3. So far FB, Google etc are always happy doing premium processing where as cheapo Indian companies avoided it. This is another big boost to cheap labor importers.
It's shameful that this comment has been voted so far down so quickly, for what I can only assume are ideological reasons. Are there a lot of Snap employees here, or are HN users insecure about their own contributions to the problem of gentrification?
> You don't know that.

No we don't. But we do know the other people in the office made jokes about the manager telling the author to cover up. I think they might have shared a "Don't feel bad, she told me to cover up too" story if they had been told that.

> In general if dress codes are sexist, they're sexist against men.

Most offices I have worked at do not require men to wear suits and ties. Also, if you wanted to wear a skirt management wouldn't be able to get upset at you unless your contract specifically said you would follow the company dress code without a lawsuit. Also, I've seen men wear kilts to an office before, and that's also a protected class.

I don't know what you are talking about here.
Pointing out different values in different cultures is not racist...
This is corporate politics by insurgent means, so I wonder who is emptying their opposition research briefing against Uber and why.

[citation needed]

The fact that it could be doesn't mean it is. Firms can collapse under the weight of their own bad decisions without any outside engineering, and Uber has pissed off lots of people over a long time.
Well I suppose we can expect some inflation due to the costs of losing Mexican migrant labor. That could be a start to convince Americans that we need these kinds of open borders.

But I guess a real open-borders system would require things like common currencies or common judicial system across North America?
> Ketchum often hears from aging test subjects looking for information about what the Army did to them. “I need to know everything that happened to me because it could give me some peace and fewer nightmares,” one veteran wrote to him. In such cases, Ketchum responds with a mixture of defensiveness and empathy. “Well, Mike,” he wrote to another veteran, “I guess some people find it satisfying to look back and condemn what doctors and others did half a century ago, especially if it lends itself to sensationalized movies, and entitles them to disability pensions.”

Well.
I really appreciate the transparency. This is something you don't usually see accompany government decisions. All government decisions, laws and regulations should be accompanied by a list of what the decision is supposed to accomplish, and then the media can check whether the decision was effective. Better for democracy.

> Why We Are Temporarily Suspending Premium Processing for H-1B Petitions

> This temporary suspension will help us to reduce overall H-1B processing times. By temporarily suspending premium processing, we will be able to:

> Process long-pending petitions, which we have currently been unable to process due to the high volume of incoming petitions and the significant surge in premium processing requests over the past few years; and

> Prioritize adjudication of H-1B extension of status cases that are nearing the 240 day mark.
Plus, everyone with even the smallest amount of money, wants to be clean; it's an incredibly basic need. Alcohol will probably always been a good form of barter too.

I don't see how they aren't "creating better laws for everyone to abide by".

They're not a monopoly on ridesharing and because of their efforts converting the hearts and minds of consumers and politicians others can do it too like Juno, Tesla, Lyft, etc.
I admit, I was being funny by being unclear. For word-embeddings English Wikipedia is a moderate-large dataset at 58GB uncompressed (13GB compressed). But most of those other language wikis really are tiny. Welsh is just 67MB compressed, and there are plenty of languages more obscure than that on the list. The point of word2vec was to make use of as much data as possible by being as fast as possible (processing billions of words an hour) rather than clever, so it would be impressive if fastText vectors for those wikis were at all useful.
Understanding and pointing out different values in different cultures is not racist...

What I find insulting is people who throw out and call someone racist for anything.

"Did you know in India they have different values than in America?" "Holy shit, that's so racist!"

Give me a fucking break.

It's mostly hardware support still. As an example, try using a Baytrail/CherryTrail laptop with Windows 10. Now try in Ubuntu. Oh you need Linux 4.11. Oh that's not out yet, so you need to run a bleeding edge kernel directly from git. Even Ubuntu 17.04 is supposed to ship with 4.10 so you'll have to wait until Ubuntu 17.10 before your hardware might be usable.

It's sad to know that the only likely thing to happen from this is that Tina will be hiring more people, since people are leaving her team. New employees will be put under her, and the cycle starts anew.

Lesson to people hiring on: If you're hiring onto a team, it's likely the team they're having a hard problem retaining people for. If that's management or technical problems, be careful.
Aggregations and interfaces cover 99%of what you need. Implementation inheritance and virtual variation points create too tight coupling to be workable for evolving systems.

Careful with that. I used to do something similar, then one day all my git repos were suddenly corrupted due to duplicate and renamed files in the .git directory. I pinged Dropbox support to notify them of a bug in their OSX client, and their response was "Don't store git repos in Dropbox." YMMV
