I forgot my kindle in my rental car once, and I realized it after I was through TSA.

The (very kind) TSA lady walked me back through security, to the rental counter, to get the keys to the car park, to retrieve the kindle, back to the rental counter and then back through security!

Just wanted to put in a little positive for the TSA.

No. TOS is not mutually binding agreement. You can't invite people to your garage sales and tell people that by looking at the items they've made a final sale automatically without their consent.
>But if you don't pass because you're not a "culture fit", it means you probably came off as a difficult person to work with. And this article shows why.

I don't think that's necessarily the case. A lot of companies have very strong cultures tailored to certain personality types. Company A may encourage bluntness and risk taking where Company B may encourage more tactful feedback and careful planning of any task. It depends on the market the company operates in and the ingrained culture.
Cool, I take my comment about "vapourware" then. :)

With the STEP files for download, their metadata indicates they were created using Solidworks 2014.

Would it be feasible to include the Solidworks files for people to download too?

Although not everyone has Solidworks (obviously), its native file format would be useful for those who do. :)
Before you downvote or comment on the resolution (the laptop mixup was an accident and it was returned shortly after), take a look at the last comment thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11759741 which was before it was returned. Interesting to observe the flood of comments about how it was a scam -- when it appears to have been much more innocent.
I would still say it's small compared to the size of the activity. But let's not argue that and take another approach.

Someone below said that they assessed it would cost (at least) $1,000,000. There are 20,000 lectures so that's $50 per lecture, which seems reasonable. With a $3 CPM on youtube, that's ~16,000 views per video. I'm sure there's some hurdle in the way to enable ads, but the point still stands. The costs here per video is small enough that it's hard to at claim that the videos are both very valuable and at the same time impossible to make compliant.
I use open dental. Tell me how open it is. An open EMR in healthcare does not mean much. Take a look at the necessary support needed to have the proper compliance.
I read yesterday that the estimated cost of invading Japan would be 1M US casualties.
Well that was an enraging read. The passive aggressiveness of the last letter from the airline absolutely killed me.

When we pack guetzlified JPEGs we see slightly smaller wins than with stock JPEGs. Think -14% for guetzlified JPEGs vs. -20% libjpeg JPEGs.
It's interesting that PageRank was originally envisioned as a way to rank academic papers. Now it's failing on caramelizing onions, which doesn't seem like a subject anybody profits by spreading misinformation about. What does this say about how we use citation metrics in academia?
This is my question as well. If the UBI is $1000/month, doesn't that become the new $0? But, this is what I figure, not being an economist, and just being someone who really wants UBI to be a thing:

With an influx of cash, people will be able to buy more, which creates incentives for actors in the market to create more products to eat up the new cash. More products = competition, which keeps prices low. Plus, people already have in mind how much they want to spend for a certain item. Take, for example, peanut butter. Rather than raising the price, the makers do things like decrease the amount of the product in the jar through redesigned packaging.

Just my pet theory. What I wonder is for things with terrible competition (rent, for example) what prevents those markets from just gobbling up the gains.
Ah, okay; I'd thought the options were based on percentages, but if that's the case my then point about the fare transparency is a bit off.
Ask HN: Time taken to come up to speed in a new team?
I got fired from a 50+people startup for being too slow as compared to the team 6 weeks after joining. This makes me wonder about expectations regarding coming up to speed in such situations. I remember it took me roughly 3 months to get fully productive in my previous job which was probably because it was an exceptionally awesome and patient team.

So, what is the expected time one expects a new team member to become completely productive?
Proof that there is an SMI related or Intel ME fault that is mitigated by Win10's kernel.
I'm not joking! Full sugar soda is cheap and readily available, it's acidic and it does appear to damage the electronics. In theory at least the sugar should also gum up the innards of HDDs.

When working with Excel, there is an addon (paid) called KUTOOLS that saved me a lot of time. It has a bunch of preset operations like removing duplicates, merging multiple sheets, bulking changing rows etc.

Another text editor worth mentioning is EMEDITOR that has tons of macros and handles larger files much better than Sublime

The Art of Maintaining a Backlog
A friend also received the same message: https://twitter.com/resir014/status/842430307538149376

Regarding spelling and grammar, it checks out fine for me. When you're typing a lot of code, it's easier to speak in short sentences and redact useless info (in this case, the @google.com email domain.)
Ask HN: How many HN users are bots?
Reddit has bots, twitter has bots, facebook has bots... It seems to be a problem on those social media sites... The typical HN user would be more technically inclined to create a bot just to see if they could do it and get away with it.

How many users here on HN do you honestly think are bots?
Ah, I see. Probably a post pointing to that framework would have been a better idea. It never fails to surprise me, but discussion tends to be directed almost entirely by what's in a submission title.

For the same reason, it probably doesn't make sense to change the current thread to point to that Github page now, since that would orphan the existing discussion.
Or more obviously - if a browser works a certain way, and the user has chosen to use it, let it be. If the designer doesn't like it, well - the user chose to use this browser, and they choose to use your site. If you start trying to change one of their choices, they might change the other.
Glad I'm not the only one thinking so.

To be honest, that's similar to my motivation for finishing it. I think this is the first book I decided not to stop reading just for the sole purpose of writing a lengthy rebuttal review.

I actually will not say that his techniques are bad/wrong/poor. But it's really shitty to keep trashing Ivy league MBA programs and then advocating the techniques taught by those programs. To date I've read 3 books from The Harvard Negotiation Project and another from, I think, Duke. For each chapter in this book, I want to highlight his techniques and then specify exactly where the same advice appears in the books he criticizes.

I think it actually would have been a great book if he wrote with more integrity. His book is easy to read and practice. If his techniques work, then he has a legitimate advantage over the other books, which are much more complex. It's a pity he made a potentially great book into a lousy one.
How do you approach a horrifying AWS bill? Can you recommend any reading? I’m going to need to optimize a tiny fleet on GCE pretty soon.
Redshift Pitfalls and How to Avoid Them
they probably hadn't been, prior to paying for the car.
It's a personal value judgment whether you think the camel's nose is a problem. The facts remain, however, since once the police get this list, they're going to ask for more search queries from the people on the list, because it's easier to create a defendant that way.
It talks about it, but it's based on a series of links to issues that were specific to psychology/psychiatry/brain-imaging. I'm not saying that the broader point isn't valid, but it's certainly not supported.
> I like to think the key's not complete thoughtlessness, but rather an appreciation of the vastness the field without caring too much about any one part of it. Which is a bit wishy-washy, but forms a good basis.

It's definitely a hard thing to describe, but I think you are doing a pretty good job of articulating it. It's kind of like meditation, in the sense that you need to approach it in a very structured way with an open/empty mind.

It's why Bayesian methods are so effective for searching. You first imagine all of the possibilities, and then you search for evidence that either supports or refutes them. If you are in an area and you have searched everywhere and you are convinced it is in that area, you need to consider the fact that it isn't in that area and to move on.

I can't tell you how many times I've been looking for a disc at a certain distance, thinking "it couldn't be any farther up, I can't throw that far" (or vice versa), only to walk 25 feet farther up and find my disc. Preconceived notions are the enemy of a successful search.
What about an array of tuples where each tuple stores something and a reference to an index in the array? How about a dictionary? Can you implement a linked list using a dictionary? Everything can be a linked list if you try hard enough.
Right, but you need to do explicit conversions between `Foundation.String` and `Prelude.String` at your app's boundaries (for example.)
With cloudwatch logs its really hard to actually understand whats going on. Especially when you are scaling up. Figuring out what invocation has failed and when becomes next to impossible after some time.
Oh ok, yeah, if you preload the binary, it's a good measurement (of parsing + optimization).

And yeah, it's common that most code is not used early. Browsers are implementing baseline JITs to help there, so they only fully optimize necessary code. I don't think any browser landed that yet though. Another option here is dynamic code loading, if you know some code is only needed later, you can load it yourself (dlopen, etc., which is supported already).
I think emulators are great, but I'm certainly not excited by for-profit(?) proprietary emulators like CEMU.
Bots Are Learning to Chat in Their Own Language
> Amazingly, this story ended well, but the only reason it did is that I set a custom lock screen message that included my contact info. If you are running OS X, I highly recommend that you do the same!

This is such a great idea. On Windows 10 this inspired me to set my account profile image to a picture with my phone number and email address.
A buddy of mine, for fun, has learned how to hand assemble X86_64 ELF binaries using a primitive line oriented text editor and arcane keyboard sequences. He's used this technique to bootstrap his own stack based programming language and tools.

He's got an interview coming up, where he can work in the programming language of his choice. I tried to talk him into doing his coding problems in hand assembled X86_64, but he apparently wants to get the job and doesn't want to come off like an arrogant jerk, so it's going to be Python.
It's far from clear that even this Congress supports the Trump budget, so that's irrelevant to the argument that the American people, in general, voted for the contents of the Trump budget, even indirectly by voting for politicians that support it.
Andy is not the only one contributing to Guile. He does a ton, for sure, but Guile is far from a one man show. There are 2 other maintainers and many other contributors.

What's even more surprising is that this has been that way for more than 3000 years, the technique of grafting apples is literally prehistoric.

I believe the reason for this is that taste and quality of fruit is quite random in pollinated seeds, seeds from a single tree will bear apples quite distinct from what the "parent" had, so if you want predictable, good fruit you need to clone the upper part by grafting.
Pretty interesting stuff. I'm amazed that there are only 14 nodes in the cluster with 1TB SSD each; message size must be fairly small on disk (less than 295 bytes, unreplicated). I'd also recommend looking at maybe tuning the shard_request_cache; there are some possible improvements to be made there, if you're running that many indices. Finally, are all of the indices of approximately the same size? Are they time-boxed?

edit: Put together a logging cluster consisting of 14 nodes, 12 data + 2 indexer/search API, with ~40TB of consumer-grade SSDs. Ran ~14k indices based on log type & timestamp, with a whole raft of custom field configuration to handle aggregations and different tokenizations. In sum, Elasticsearch looks easy to configure and tune but is amazingly hard to do well - but incredibly rewarding.
Brown onions are also known as yellow onions; depends on your locale. I guess the locale of the recipe's author matters as well (although it usually doesn't matter too much if you use a white or brown onion).
List nodes being scattered depends on the memory management. When you start out with a blank heap, if you grab successive cons cells, they can be adjacent (in the same cache line). Also, when a garbage collection pass reclaims unreachable conses and puts them into a free list, it can sweep them in heap order, so physically neighboring free cells end up together in the free list.
I work in a start up, we own all our own hardware, and it is HELL.

We are forced to pay extremely large sums of money to upgrade our infrastructure as any purchase requires a redundant piece as well.

For example we have used 90% of our SANs storage, our IO is suffering and now were looking at purchasing two $10k SANs to upgrade. In the meantime, we have probably spent over 10k worth of development time to compress, clean up, and remove any data we don't need. We will not get the weeks of development effort back, we will continue to spend more money on hardware, and we will continue to suffer to delay projects because of poor choices.

If we had AWS, we could have written an entire sprints worth of work (also ~$14k worth of IT time) and moved on with our lives.

Clearly, some companies let the budget keep growing, but for most companies AWS flexibility is worth its weight in gold.
I hope you get raped
Sorry but that's your fault for not keeping your eye on the laptop the entire time. I literally do not step to the scanner until it goes into the X ray, and then I keep an eye on it until it comes out.
I had an incident with TSA in Miami where I accidentally left my Macbook Air behind in the tray and flew home to Raleigh before I realized it was missing.

So I called up MIA lost and found, identified the laptop by the neoprene case I keep it in, and was able to auhtorize having my father pick it up. He shipped it home to me.

These stories mostly don't end poorly. The good outcomes just don't make the news because they are the expected outcome (as they should be).

Tangent: I'm not a fan of the TSA, but I separate the organization from the individuals. Most TSA officers I've dealt with have been professional and pleasant. And since I always opt out, I've dealt with a lot of TSA officers.

Likely to fall on mostly dead ears here. Since unions stifle the concept of a 10x-er and other valley employment stories.

Manufacturing unions are on their way down and have been for a while. The ease of having off site campuses and companies supply chains being less reliant on their own output ensures this. The hay day of the great lake region shipping causing a centralization of manufacturing, while all being under a federal jurisdiction that empowered unions, which with a concentration of unions in a region making them a political force... Might as well be dead.

Construction unions (building, electrical, plumbing, and similar). Still have quite a bit of life since those unions tend to have some amount of control over licensing, regulations, and similar. Though these also have a greater range of people/interests in them, so you hear of them less often.

I am glad that FreeBSD is on the "Tier 2" list of supported platforms [1] but am wondering, is there any way to convince you guys to make it "Tier 1"? If so, how?

I do not agree that an if macro stands for some specific lambda-based utterance. That isn't historically true, or in any other sense. The macro potentially stands for any and every possible way in which its semantics can be achieved.
It's not letting me edit my comment, so I'll post this separately.

I can't help but feel that accusing me of "selective quoting" is just a tactic used to deflect a true observation. As far as I can tell, the most well-known EAs who have commented on wild animal suffering have unilaterally come out in support of Tomasik-like conclusions, e.g. CEA's CEO William MacAskill has written an article called "To truly end animal suffering, the most ethical choice is to kill wild predators (especially Cecil the lion)", and 80,000 Hours director Rob Wiblin has written a blog post called "Why improve nature when destroying it is so much easier?" (https://archive.fo/HbE2a). This has also been my experience in online EA communities, such as the EA Facebook group. I can think of dozens of articles written by prominent EAs supporting habitat destruction, but only one opposing it (http://effective-altruism.com/ea/14l/the_unproven_and_unprov...).

Since there's no robust evidence (eg surveys) on EA views of wild animal suffering, this is the best evidence available.

Because bad information that people passionately believe has a way of rising to the top.

Given that information is a sort of currency (which is exchanged for your attention while an advertisement is displayed in close proximity), perhaps we should have expected that something like Gresham's Law - that 'bad money drives out good' when competing currencies exist - would hold true on the web too.

Popularity is only a good proxy for quality when the population is rational. given the abundant evidence of even smart people often suffering from large cognitive biases, weak educational standards, and an economic system where consumption and waste are more profitable to supply than more sustainable solutions, it's not surprising that search quality could decline even as raw performance improves.

Google and the existing web will be disrupted by the advent of contextual search, which retrieves the graph of a specific information frame.
