Surveillance has been at smaller scale, but increasing as the technology behind the data footprint has moved from punchcards and magtape to farms of SSDs and gigabit optical links.

Hoover didn't know your shoe size. It's likely that the NSA could find that out in seconds to minutes (and I'm not kidding).
The Mumps Programming Language
Yes, and it typically includes things like the excess salary earning by trade guilds and unions. Interesting how he didn't mention that, did he?
LLVM 4.0.0
Yes, but it's clearly illegal to search everyone under the constitution, so these sort of advances in counter terrorism should never have been allowed. Hard to argue with tracking everyone once it's happening without uproar, I imagine it's very very useful.
Then you whitelist individual pages and assets.

Challenge your worldview. The status quo is not a conspiracy.
I have yet to see anyone prove how even illegal immigrants are a detriment to our country. Also, xenophobia is xenophobia. Let's say we actually got rid of all illegal immigrants. You really think the debate about immigration would end there?
Source for "keeping your workers confused"?

It seems like Uber is making drivers listen to anti-union propaganda.
Does it matter if they stop visiting the site? Considering that they are using resources without giving something back in return? I guess it could be argued that they might be promoting the site to other users.

Other than that, they are essentially freeloaders and if a website has too many freeloaders it has to either get rid of them or convert them to something else. Or, I guess, the website could shut down completely.
Well I think part of GTD is that brain dump of tasks. So that they are captured some place other than your memory.
Lets harm all the kids who actually know what they want to do, have construction, IT and hospital work done by uninterested stoners (because what else are young people going to do when they have no options)?
For effective tracking you will need a national Id card for us nationals. That is something many different groups in the US are against for different reasons. Such an id could solve a lot of other problems and of course will create its own problems. But I think the net benefit outweighs the loss.
This would not be a job as a carpenter, it would be a job as a carpenter's apprentice. Many white collar office jobs require some requisite education before you can even get an entry-level or apprentice-like job.
Honestly this is typical of your usual responses to be dismissive, faux outraged... And also just incorrect, factually incorrect.

Someone finally has enough data to confront your obvious bias and enough people saw it that you had to back up and apologize but this is a rare exception.

Mods removed submissions and individual posts they find distasteful and it has nothing to do with HN guidelines, they are applied unequally just as some members get special treatment. hN is just not that honest of a place to have an open discussion on a variety of topics.
In part, it's probably because other industries have a limited ability to toss you in the brig if you decide to give your notice after a year.

There are trucking schools, mechanics school, cooking schools (as in the article). But the trades in general tend to be more of an apprentice system.

Finally, some specialized companies do have extended in-house training. But this sort of thing is definitely less common, in part because people skip around jobs a lot more so there's going to be a lot of free-riding on a company offering expensive training.
I would have put money on this happening in Australia.

Yep. Because 'we have nothing to hide'.

Interestingly though, just after the wall fell if there was one country that was hyper-sensitive to any kind of surveillance it was the Eastern part of re-united Germany. That was one part of Europe where people seemed to 'get it' in large enough numbers to actually make a difference. Some parts of Poland after their independence from Soviet domination as well.

Though for the most part that seems to have slowly crumbled away.
I don't think parallelizing SGD is that important. There are steeply diminishing and even negative returns (see the sharp minima paper) to increasing minibatch size, so you wouldn't want to use hundreds of GPUs to run huge minibatches up to the size of the dataset; and you wouldn't want to split a model across multiple GPUs because no one has enough data+compute to train monstrous models which are dozens or hundreds of GB in size (if anything, one trend has been towards appreciating how powerful small well-trained NNs are and how grossly overparameterized many past NNs have been). What you would use that many GPUs for is hyperparameter optimization training many models in parallel using deep RL or evolutionary computation, asynchronous RL exploring many environments simultaneously, or supporting many researchers working on their own individual projects. None of which needs super networking parallelism stuff.
Where is the key stored? Itll have to be in memory so that means it can be extracted from there if the pc is on. If the pc is off then things change. But this discussion assumes the attacker can place files on the system which means they can tamper with possibly timestamps blocks. If the system is encrypted and off then they can't add files and obviously not tamper with blocks either.
Yeah, but is the money you save by doing this worth the headache of remembering to do it at all?
So the recent Muslim ban was anti-illegal immigrant? Hmm..
Reviews are a very bad indicator in my experience.

My airbnb stays from 2013-2015 were great and the average tanked.

Airbnb is still doing well and profitable so good for them.
Well, we basically agree. I grant that there's a better case for numbers being immutable than buses. However, I would say that number "objects" are not meant to model real world numbers as objects per se. Because, sure, you don't morph a 3 into a 4 in the real world, but in code you don't generally require numbers as objects for the purpose of representing such constants. Rather, they are variables with some meaning.

In other words, you don't generally need:

BigDecimal three = new BigDecimal(3);

but

BigDecimal sum = new BigDecimal(0);

Followed by some operation(s).

Sure, depending on naming, you can create confusion with mutable numbers, but that's true for immutable objects as well.

At the end of the day, I am not saying that immutables have no use and one immutable class outright destroys your OO design. I am saying that there is a tension that exists between the two that can easily be seen if you envision a design with 100% immutable classes in the context of OO's raison d'etre.

Bringing it back to the OP, my bigger point was that all of the work involved and "side effects" of layering on immutability are an example of how people assess OO's success through the lens of things that were later added, but were not an intrinsic part of the OO paradigm in the first place.
Why would he not finish his thought to clarify that Americans are not as entrepreneurial as Asians? That seems like an easy thing to say if that's what he meant.
Let me guess, C++ performance (especially when it comes to loading really large projects) decreased again. And it's probably even more sluggish than before. That's been a trend since Visual Studio 6.
I'd guess the line runs between the group that considers driving for uber a "side gig" and the group that actually does it full-time. Seems to me, these two groups have vastly different backgrounds ans needs.

I think the question has to be which of the two groups is the bigger one and how well the needs of both groups can be reconciled.
>Walls going up are days of sadness. Walls broken down are days of joy.

Depends. Whenever people put up the walls for their house (which serve the same purpose) those are days of joy too.

Same for nations that fought hard to establish their borders and sovereignty.

And fewer national borders is not some "wave of the future" -- it's what was tried and rejected when nation states became a thing.

We had large, all-encompassing empires before and it wasn't that nice...
I wish there were more TensorFlow examples written in Go. I made the mistake of checking out TensorFlow as my first intro to ML and it flew about 10 miles over my head. Slowly learning now, but most of the documentation and tutorials are written in Python.

Is it really true anymore that '30 is considered “old”'? I've worked with many people that are 30+ in the industry, and working with many right now, and I don't see any tendency to regard them as "old". Maybe it's my own bubble or more localized phenomenon, but I don't think it's true anymore.

I wonder how that chart measures "CEO pay". Since the majority of executive pay is equity (in this case, $20m of the $23m quoted figure), I'd say that CEO performance (as measured by stock returns) pretty directly affects their pay?

There was also a lie about warning which never happened, but hey, "not lying" is not in the guidelines, so…

I think you've unfairly jumped from the evidence you see (I don't recall receiving any warning) to an accusation that Dan was lying. Since lying about this doesn't seem to be to Dan's benefit (why risk adding false information?) it seems more likely that Dan may have confused you with another user, or that you may not have seen (or remembered) the warning.

Scanning back through your comments, I fairly quickly found the warning from a couple months ago that I think Dan was referring to: [redacted]. Likely you didn't notice this (or didn't consider it to be a warning?) but even if he's wronged you elsewhere, you probably should apologize to Dan for the false accusation.

while some of my comments might be harsh

Having just scanned through a couple months of your comments, I think that's unfortunately an understatement. A surprisingly large percentage of your recent comments are, as Dan warned, "personally abrasive". If your intent was to cause offense with each of these comments, I think Dan was right to ban your account. If the offense you were causing wasn't intentional, then there would appear to be a cultural misunderstanding that would be to your benefit to address.

the most annoying thing was the comment left by moderator "we banned". How about "I banned"? Faceless corporate "we" does not look well.

I agree with you about the use of "we". It often comes across oddly when it seems clear that the decision was made by an individual. I don't think a blanket switch to "I" solves it, but it seems like there should be a better phrasing.

Of course a country is limited. Limited territory, limited resources.
You are wrong. Before joining Yahoo, Marissa was demoted from her position and no longer was in Larry's inner circle. She pretty much had her hand forced to quit Google given the influence she had once no longer remained.

Wrt joining other tech companies, it is debatable whether she could get a CEO role of $30B+ tech company given she never had such an accreditation before.

Wrt your excuses on why she failed, those are exactly that - excuses. If it is such a common knowledge that middle managers are political centers, why didn't she do anything about it? There wasn't a single round of layoffs at Yahoo in her first 2.5 yrs when everyone was asking why Yahoo needs 12k+ employees to support $4B in annual revenues. She failed to figure out what was wrong with Yahoo and take adequate steps to fix it. In essence she completely failed in her duties as ceos.

I think a lot of frustration here is not that CEOs earn that much. I, for one, am totally fine if Satya Nadella earns $100M+ for all the great work and transformation he has done over at Microsoft. So I don't agree with your proposal on fixing the salaries of CEOs based on a multiple. I think what is frustrating here is that here is a CEO who clearly failed across the board and did nothing noteworthy (and made huge costly mistakes such as hiring Henrique de Castro which cost Yahoo $100M) but still was seemingly unaffected in securing the CEO role and being paid handsome salary/bonuses.
Not many, but it doesn't matter. They are here under a different law.
The described use scenario is for smuggling the specified device in a secured environment where no electronic devices or storage devices are allowed, and passing through a physical search by masquerading the device as something innocuous i.e. "initial plan for concealment host is as a day planner". There's no intent to use steganography, random data (e.g. gigabytes of mp3 of family photos) should never be exiting the secure area in a legal manner, not even after a review; even if accidentally gets brought in, it's not getting out.

Bringing an USB thumb drive to such a place by itself would a serious incident, but might be treated (after a review) as a benign accident, but having a concealed device that can read floppies is another manner, it's obviously not a coincidence. Discovering that you ("the asset") have such a concealed device is by itself clearly sufficient for failing the mission and getting detained. It doesn't matter if it's "difficult to determine what was stored or even if anything was stored" - possession of the device and attempt to smuggle it to the secure area would be sufficient.
Not to mention the efforts being made to stop legal immigration based on asylum seeking [1]. The whole "we're only against ILLEGAL immigration" cry is phony and does not square with the actual actions and opinions of policy-makers and enforcers.

Vocational training is a wash if industries change to meet market demands, which they always are. Your IBM mainframe certificate doesn't mean shit in 2017, neither does the 6 week course you took on Microsoft Access if the job doesn't call for it.

Same thing applies to bootcamps. In 2-4 years, the frameworks and concepts you've learned to implement web apps will have changed. In ten, it will be an entirely different game.
That's interesting, in my mid 20's the area above my ears also became itchy and flaky, inflamed, just like you describe, and it lasted for years. My hair started thinning out in that area as well, and I was generally not feeling well. In my early 30's I started noticing correlation between eating wheat products, especially anything with white flour, and the symptoms flaring out/getting worse in the next few days. I started removing all foods with gluten from diet (which I found pretty easy actually, basically no more bread and stick to rice, sweet potatoes, beans and fruits for starch) and the symptoms disappeared almost entirely over a few weeks. I started supplementing with daily vitamin D and started to feel even better. I would experiment with removing gluten from your diet and vitamin D supplementation to see if the symptoms improve over a 2-3 week time frame, if you haven't tried already.

I'm using a Hackintoshed Lenovo Y50-70 (FHD model) running MacOS Sierra and i can only recommend it so far, all of the configurations that are being sold are very compatible with macOS. It even comes with a dedicated GPU which is great for GPU-intensive tasks on different OSes - it's disabled whilst running macOS because of missing drivers for nVidia optimus though.
People without any talent for management in management are the problem. Scrum certification is just one entry vector here. A Scrum specific problem is that it also attracts people who would otherwise not be attracted to management positions which adds to the load and a particular flavor of dysfunction.

Yeah, I know Scrum Masters are not project managers but let's not go down that rabbit hole.
> Could you provide sources for this?

Do you think that Yahoo's board decided to grant Mayer the golden parachute out of kindness, or out of sympathy to a fellow member of the nobility?

Mayer and Yahoo's board negotiated the terms of her contract. The parachute is meant to lure an executive who would normally not want to risk taking the helm of such a high risk company.
Not wanting things to change itself is not racist, the methods to prevent change will of course be racist.
I did message them. The guest had strict cancellation policy so I just got sympathy.

It seemed airbnb customer service did not understand concept of "lifetime value" of customer. They could have made a lot more money in long term if they just refunded a bad experience.
I'm sure that kind of thing could work, especially with the group of users here, but it would probably represent a full-time job for a mod just to police that page and make use of it. They may simply not see the benefit?
> The foreman handed him a broom and he started sweeping that very day.

Exactly. Most office jobs don't have an analog to "broom sweeping." Which is why they have educational requirements. One wouldn't expect to go from janitor to accountant without getting an education.
> What are some of the reasons why the kids think the teachers are bad?

I'm not the parent, but my guess if any is that it has to do with the teachers' educative background. They're basically trained to teach biology as biology only, mathematics as mathematics only, etc. without putting 2 plus 2 together and spelling out the day to day usefulness.

A corollary question with a similar answer might be why the education system in just about every country (all?) is stuck with "traditional" course separations, as in maths, physics, biology, literature, etc. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Would have been interesting to know who the domain was homed to. Might have just been an ad network with a CDN and cadillac.com CNAME'd to their servers. Looks like an origin served ad, but still flows through the tracker.
Considering the amount of people who are against the idea of building an expensive US/Mexian wall in the US, even among people on the right (for financial, efficacy, etc reasons), I doubt immigrants would expect life to be much different in the US. Besides maybe Mexican immigrants who may join communities affected by policies limiting illegal immigration at the southern border.

At least from a cultural perspective for the majority of legal immigrants I'm sure day-to-day life isn't much different than before the wall plan. There are still more than enough good people in the US. Especially in urban areas where most immigrants end up.

As someone who has applied for an American Visa, my main concern would be more about the available Visas suddenly changing after I've established a life there. The process is quite complicated and stressful, and the T1 visa was the most common one for my type of work. For T1 you had to get it renewed each year.

That was a concern even in a pre-Trump US. The immigration policies there definitely need some work. And have for a long time. I was happy to see Trump saying he was looking at Canada's immigration policy (where I'm from) as a good example.

It will always be stressful for legal immigrants when the immigration policies are currently in political flux.
Are you under the mistaken impression that increasing wages paid would cause people to work those jobs?

And you are literally asking for runaway inflation. Guess who pays for that the most at a rate higher than the rest of society? The poor and the elderly on fixed income.

Do you want to punish the poor and elderly on fixed income because millennials can't be bothered to work hard labor because it might interrupt their precious time?

Maybe you would like to take away the healthcare for the poor and elderly as well?
Are there other online discussion forums that also go into such detail about how the sausage is made you can point to as an example?

From the ones I frequent, HN via Dan and team is the only one I've come across which frequently and directly engages the community in a detailed and genuine way about their policies.
What US government is doing goes very far beyond "keeping the peace". Only the discretionary budget is 1.5 trillion dollars. Americans would be a really wild bunch if it required $1.5 trillion to "keep the peace".
I might need you to build something listy on disk, and I would say, "you can give the records two-element headers and make it work like a doubly linked list"... you would know exactly how to do that.
And imnsho that's a good thing. Experimental aircraft are labeled experimental for a reason, and anything that gets sold for general aviation purposes should do what it says on the tin, no more, no less.

If aviation adopted the 'move fast and break stuff' paradigm it would be the end of aviation as we have come to rely on it. No doubt there would be a huge amount of technical progress in a short time but for the purpose of enabling commerce and having reliable transportation it would be an absolute disaster in every sense of the word.
I think it's fair to say that if you're in a position to be directly farted on by a nude person, more intimate contact has or will occur.
> You have to deny them victories, even on issues that you support.

And then the right does the same, and nothing ever gets done in the Legislature. Now any real progress needs to be made by the judiciary or by executive fiat.

That wasn't clickbait. Arguably it was worse. "You'll never guess what happens when she starts to sing!" isn't likely to contribute to increased military tensions between nuclear powers.

To put it as a triviality: just because two things are bad doesn't mean they have to be bad in the same way.

I also wouldn't classify that story as "fake news"[0]. Those were things like "Revealed: Obama says Clinton would be terrible president", or "Revealed: Trump under investigation by European Court for Human Rights". Those were straightforward false claims, with zero actual sourcing, by people who knew they were lying. This Washington Post article was shitty reporting, using thin sources, that fit a currently popular hysteria. And it was completely inaccurate. But the authors didn't sit down and say "what can we make up." They got some sources and didn't do any due diligence, because it was too hard to pass up on such a juicy story.

I'm not wedded to the idea that these articles aren't fake news, but I'm confident it doesn't make sense to call them clickbait.

[0] Of course, this relies on the idea that fake news doesn't just mean "news that is wrong", which has been with us forever, but more about a social media driven trend within the past year or two.

I was trying to gather more information, not debate.

But now that you mention it, none of those citations support your hyperbole that human capital flight "is the single biggest obstacle". They all refer to it as "a" problem, or "one of the main."
