I do what's right for our employees because that is profitable.

That doesn't make me a bad employer (IMO). You can bet that we mentally (and sometimes overtly) trade off improvements to salary vs long-term incentive vs office perks vs health care vs other benefits.

I don't see any other rational way to get a stable outcome that benefits both sides. (A company that pays too much [cash or non-cash benefits] and goes out of business as a result hasn't helped anyone long-term.) We are competing every day to motivate and retain our engineers.
His point is obvious. Please, please don't comment in bad faith.
Fair enough. I was thinking Emerson, ge, Rockwell and the like. More industrial processes kinds of things, but thanks for the clarification.
Err, I guess my point was more that retirement and leisure ARE the problems in themselves. Even if we figure out how to distribute the gains better, we are still in a world where humans have lost value. Are we prepared for a world of leisure? Will people WANT this world?

Establish an enciphered, unauthenticated, connection to an IP.

This is now a tunnel.

Over that tunnel:

* If you've connected before attempt to reuse the cached credentials to further establish a connection to the requested certificate. This validates prior authorization of being the target host.

* If the above fails or if it's a new host, ask for the certificate, perform extensive validation including REQUIRING that the external revocation check authenticates and confirms non-revoked.

I'd argue that any serious production app should still be using both AppCache and Service Worker. Heck, if you have AppCache setup and working already, why would you remove it? Service Worker isn't supported by Internet Explorer, Safari, or Firefox ESR. Those browsers can account for a large portion of the market, depending on your target demographic.

The <dialog> element is supported in even fewer browsers [0]! You can sorta polyfill it, but not perfectly.

The great thing about the arxiv, though, is that you can submit the preprint early while the paper goes through review at a 'real' journal.

Review takes time... Unless you submit to your own journal... I'm surprised good friend didn't help with a better choice of journal, even a non top tier one.

>Medicare for all would cost 2.5 - 3 trillion a year

This is accurate I think. Canada spends $230 billion per year and has 1/10th the population. $6,299 per Canadian in 2016.

BUT. You get to SUBTRACT our current healthcare spending

$3 trillion - $3.35 trillion = $750 billion saved.

That would have us closer to Canadian spend per person.

Brian Spooner's comment on the article is interesting, too:

"...In Iran I was always fascinated and puzzled by seeing Persians read Persian much faster than I could read English. [...] Our answer was that literate Persians (and Urdu-writers) think, see and act much less in terms of individual letters (than we do, and than we are taught to do as we learn to read and write). They see and write pen-strokes, each of which may contain 1, 2, three or even four letters, possibly (though rarely) more. The letters are written differently according to where they come in the pen-stroke and the pen-strokes are written differently according to what comes before or after them. Readers read pen-strokes (the number of which is very large), not letters. They read faster because they are scanning by series of pen-stokes. We also tend to read English by scanning words rather than reading letters, but the Persian reader is much more efficient and faster at then. The general approach and relationship to writing is different from ours. Its practice is different. And its result is different. There is much more to be said about this. But enough for this comment."

I don't know anything about Persian, but I now feel the need to go learn more.
I love that somebody had to go to a print shop and ask for "Video Game Plan Forms".

Probably the most awe-inspiring thing to me about most great 20th century engineering (and other) accomplishments is that, except in a very few fields (and then rather late) they basically took place without the aid of computerized communication, research, and organizational tools. It seems so daunting to, for example, fight a globe-spanning war on two fronts involving dozens of allied nations and millions of men and women, without even the aid of a spreadsheet.
You can keep using clever witticisms like that if it makes you feel better, and meanwhile bills like this will keep passing along party lines.

Thanks! I'm a little rough on my diabetes pathology/immunology, this was a good review :)
This is the sort of self-serving belief that I always find so striking. It's not like HN is a diverse, dynamic community with a wide range of opinions. See all knew what sort of comments would be made the moment see saw the title, it wasn't even really necessary to read the story.

Childish diatribes against the "media" based off a very one-sided description of the actions of a single magazine? Check.

Invectives against the "liberal narrative" for minorites and Hillary Clinton? Check.

At some point see just need the usual suspect to chime in and say something about feminism.

Anyways I bring this up because it's very funny, at least to me, to hear all this talk of narratives and bubbles and how everybody claims its not them it's those other guys.

Meanwhile the story itself is crap and wholly uninteresting in itself. It's pure gossip and speculation and unfounded assertions. I can think of a hundred reasons why a magazine might've decided not to run a story on this guy. And while I admire his ability to make lemonade -- after all this blog post is almost exactly what many people on the internet would want to hear and it will go viral getting him the publicity he so craves -- it's literally a non-event.
As a student of Japanese and having previously thought I might have Aphantasia this was interesting to me.

But I'm still not convinced that we understand Aphantasia completely. I think there's a whole spectrum of different conditions in visualisation and everyone has different skills and abilities. Here's mine:

- I can currently recall just under 1000 Kanji

- The learning system I am using (wanikani) doesn't require me to, but from previous study I can write a few hundred

- I can easily recognize people's faces from memory ("never forget a face")

- But if you asked me to draw a face from memory I'd have a very hard time

- I can visualize geometric figures in my mind's eye and move them around

- As a long time software developer I can effortlessly deconstruct a complex system into base abstractions, hold these in memory, and manipulate/recall the constructs in my head

- I get a very abstracted visualisation when reading fiction. Lengthy overwrought descriptions bore me and I throw away most of it anyway, so I tend to favour Charles Bukowski over Dan Brown

- My imagination is similiar, I can set up basic scenes but I can't "see" the detail in any way like looking at a photograph

- My art skills are decent but I'm not working off any kind of internal image. I think of the main points I want to express but I don't know exactly how they'll look until I commit them to paper/pixel

- Sometimes when I'm really tired I have very short (under one second) open eye hallucinations where I do visualize random things in extreme detail, indistinguishable from reality.

- I have visual dreams that feel as accurate as reality

- I have sporadic occasions when I (start to) lucid dream. Before I'm lucid, everything in the dream is vivid, but once I become aware then all the detail of the dream unravels and I wake up shortly after
> amplifier for the status quo

While there are respectable ML folks making those criticisms, the commentary I've read seems more click-bait than science.

ML can be used just as traditional statistics to make causal inferences and predict the effect of intervention. There's nothing about ML that reinforces status quo more than traditional statistics, let alone case studies (aka anecdotes) or "common sense."
There is a plethora of companies who will solve that problem for you, in exchange for a small cut of the investment returns.

Eg, https://www.betterment.com for stocks & bonds, and http://www.ipmanagers.com.au for managing property. (For property you obviously want someone local to your area.)
I can't find any numbers on that right now but I'm sure there's a YouGov poll that asks that question. I don't doubt that there are some, but I've yet to come across anybody with those views personally.
This whole discussion is disheartening. When I first heard about this is came to HN to get the facts and try to actually form an opinion, because honestly I can't figure out what the bill is supposed to change and how. Instead I find people pontificating along party lines like every comments section across the internet. Where's the analysis and insight? Where's the objectivity? I've come to expect more from this site and I know we can do better.
Interesting that the article does not touch on the owner's claim that the 100-year-old woman didn't actually live in the property.
The proposal says that Safari "dismisses dialogs when a tab is switched away from" which clashes with what "dismissing a dialog" means to me. To me, "dismiss a dialog" means hitting cancel/esc so the dialog is gone forever.

What Safari does these days is has replaced the OS modal dialog with an in-tab custom modal dialog (that basically looks like your typical custom "javascript dialog" rounded-corner white DIV with a drop shadow and dimmed page cover), and when you switch tabs, the dialog is still there on the old page, it's just not blocking anything else. In practice this works beautifully.

How do you create an encrypted connection to an IP address? Just a regular Diffie-Hellman key exchange? That's pretty easy to MitM, and then the attacker can view the certificate the server passes, which will contain the domain name. A little more involved than sniffing SNI, because now you need to scale out MitM-ing instead of DPI, but pretty much the same problem.

> He is a bad president.

I'm not saying he isn't a bad choice for President... He's only been President for a couple of months. In the course of 4 years, that's a bit premature of a statement.

What seems to be happening with education, and the pitiful healthcare bill... not fond of a lot of what's happening. Not to mention, there is zero need to expand military spending. I'm all for cutting spending, but expanding one of the biggest areas of the budget when we already outspend the rest of the world combined is asinine.

Being that this is a pretty red vs. blue issue, there's not a ton ton can do about it if you live in non-red states.

The eff is an obvious choice and I'm a member and have been for almost 20 years.

In my mind the big thing is people that vote for republicans don't fully understand that they are voting for non-privacy, pro-business, and really, pro-military. Granted, there are some dems that can fall into this trap and 9/11 pretty much ensnared all but a few into the reactionary mindset. This actually took true visionaries and leaders to overcome; few and far between.

So, really, local debate has to happen in the red states where these majorities are elected. This is a long uphill battle, but the message of "mega-corporations are not your friends" has to be paramount and when you're not earning tech salaries, we are part of the problem.

For coal miners and all these higher profile ise cases, we need to re-connect with the human and community level. That's the disconnect right there; it's easier to get angry about 'the swamp' than it is to try to take your own local municipality into your own hands or figuring out how to stay local vs. state.

California, New York, etc - these aren't the battlegrounds. They are the future. The majority of their population already agrees on global warming, privacy, tech, etc. They're one step behind bitcoin/ethereum/altcoins globalization.

But for somone in W. Varginia that's a coal miner that has been laid off (a big Trump talking point), these things matter On a massive level.

So there's our schism - how can we provide a forward thinking, longer term vision that helps the common citizenry? In my mind, everything this repubican extremist 'president' represents are big interests and reducing their unfettered access to unlimited profits, regardless of what that means.

Your (what's left of it) privacy and whatever else is fair game.

I'd advise to (of course) moving to tor, vm's and seriously, cryptocurrencies. Currency is a great way to start hacking back towards 1:1, person:person transactions which leads to a less decentralized money system.

And, If course, money underpins pretty much all us entrepreneurs do.

So, we do have options. :-/ These options include vpn, tor, cryptocurrencies, ethereum, etc.

My memory of L. Ron Hubbard's recorded lectures has faded but I recall him saying these words many years before they entered the NA canon. Too bad the transcripts are as well guarded as they are. It might appear in similar form in Dianetics or Science of Survival, both published early 1950's.

The referendum legislation could have been drafted to contain a clause specifying in which situations it would have been "deemed to have passed". That clause could have contained the requirement for a double majority. Of course, being a non-binding referendum, such a clause could not have had any direct legal effect, but it would have been politically near-impossible to disregard. There is no logical contradiction between the idea of a referendum being legally non-binding and the idea of a referendum with a higher threshold for passing than "50%+1 nationally".
That's exactly what it is. We use this internally for customer support, product demos, and testing/debugging. Now we're opening it up to the public.

As for "magic numbers", parameters are done by automated tuning.
Disclaimer: I'm not an expert at this.
There are too many parameters to attempt to optimize everything globally, so it looks like only certain variables are selected (this probably requires lots of domain knowledge) and optimized at a time using something that resembles a gradient descent of sorts. You can read more about it here:
https://chessprogramming.wikispaces.com/Stockfish%27s+Tuning...

There are also other tuning methods. notably, the one used by another chess engine, Texel. Which is also interesting and used by several strong engines. The chess programming wiki is a really good resource if you want to read more.

Finally,I can't find it, but I've read that Stockfish is so strong, that Andscacs, another strong chess engine that participates in the TCEC, was tuned by minimizing the standard deviation of its evaluation function with that of Stockfish. That sort of blew my mind when I first read it.

​It makes a lot of noise, although obviously not as much as a typewriter would. It has an enormous amount of key travel, and the spacing between keys is huge compared to modern keyboards. The aluminum body makes it solid and heavy, although metal keycaps would have been nicer than plastic ones.

If you like enjoy typing on a typewriter, it's a related experience. If you have extensive mechanical typewriter experience and really want the full throw and noise, you probably want conversion kit instead: https://www.usbtypewriter.com/#gs.9tDxQ0Q

My comment is mainly in that "conservative news" makes money... a large portion of the population is conservative, and was under-served by the commentary from other news outlets. Now I think it's too far the other way, but businesses are, and should be allowed to adapt or die.

I would presume that a lot of people in the media may or may not believe what they are spewing... as for the management/administration of Fox News, I would say it's likely more about money than political views.

Can we also say Founders that can't sell are hobbyists? I can't code. But I work in industry (not tech related at all) and we have niche problems to be solved and customers are lining up. As of right now, I'm a solo "founder" with no coding skills and hired tech guys to do the MVP.

I think your original assertion is a bit much. I wish I was better at coding, but at this point in my life it is more valuable for me to sit with my clients and build relationships. I think that even if I was a very capable programmer, I would still not code and rather go out and talk to my clients or potential clients, because that is something my programming team cannot do. The more I interact with my clients, the more I learn about problems and issues they have that can be fixed with technology.

People will take the best job available on the market. If bringing back manufacturing brings back a lot of subsistence level jobs, you won't have people in middle class jobs leaving those jobs for the subsistence jobs. The only people who take those new jobs are those who are in a worst position than what the subsistence level would provide them, and thus are better off with the subsistence level job than without.

This is basic free market economic theory that any economist (other than perhaps Marxians) would agree with.
I see car companies getting off the shelf solutions from companies like Nvidia, which is what is being trained in Tesla's today. And Nvidia have their own demo. I genuinely wonder who owns the algorithm...

It actually makes sense to jump to level 4 from both a liability & design/platform perspective.

The fact that Tesla is bleeding through the first few stages with driver-in-the-loop doesn't necessarily mean they get to maintain a competitive advantage long term.
