His other crazy shit was to pay someone to say "Hitler did nothing wrong".

When that guy, who was dressed as Jesus, was banned by Fiverr, Pewdiepie stated: "Isn't it ironic that Jews[1] found another way to fuck Jesus over?"

Whether his quest to push the comedy envelope extends further than Nazi/Jew related material, I don't know.

Edit: And the predictable downvote within minutes. How funny that the fans of Pewdiepie, and his "free speech", have such a reaction to a post stating objective facts about what he said.

But then again, where do you draw this line for what is authentic and isn't?

In music are you allowed to use amplifiers and speakers? They can add a lot of color and distortion. How about reverb? Rooms that aren't there. EQ to remove unwanted frequencies? Synthesizers? Digital effects? At what point is it not authentic anymore?

Same for photography. Are you allowed to touch the aperture? ISO? Shutter speed? Flash? Digital camera? At what point is it not authentic?

SPARK is indeed very adapted to some kinds of code (protocols, serialization, deserialization, index manipulation, masks...). Proving the absence of runtime errors in such code is easy (not much help needed for the provers, just type your data structures well) and makes you think of every case. Fun. Even better : once AoRTE is proved, remove all runtime checks and get C-like performance. You can also prove some isolated functional properties ('the answer to message X can only be message Y or Z'... just sprinkle some asserts, post-conditions or check the nice Contract_Case syntax). Or you can go to 'platinum'-level and prove your complete protocol/algorithm. The tech is great and it keeps improving, it gets easier every year...
Well we need competition for that to happen. So somehow you'd have to set something up where you would need to allow for the consumer to buy from other countries. Which sounds pretty difficult.
Both /r/rust [1] and the official forum [2] are reasonably regulated and I often see less informed members got warned about their use of aggressive or insulting languages, often directed to non-Rust languages. There are surely other venues with less enforcement (they still commonly observe the Rust Code of Conduct however), but at least I think the main venues and corresponding community heavily tries not to be offensive.

Read The Innovator's Dilemma. Standardization in fact usually comes later, once the component in question has reached commodity status. Until then, if there is a competitive advantage to be gained by customizing, then the market leaders will make that investment to stay out in front. The leaders will either fight or snub standardization.

Referring to the PC industry, the availability of standard components marked the death of the premium desktop business, since these days anyone with two hands and a screwdriver can bolt together a desktop as good as any other. That's great for customers, not so good for incumbents like IBM.

You could say the same thing for just about any show.

Not just content but their tech. Very many of Netflix's new shows stream at 4K and they've started pushing HDR as well. Where Amazon's 4K HDR streaming is choppy and inconsistent at times (I think it's actually due to Amazon's mediocre Android app which runs poorly while browsing content), Netflix's 4K HDR streaming is smooth, works wonders and looks amazing. They're really pushing that boundary.
It seems even odder considering that many of the pharmaceutical companies are not US based, so it doesn't seem to make sense even from a protectionist standpoint.

Just as an exercise in cherry-picking, I grabbed the first drug from [1], "Relvar Ellipta", which apparently costs 6.3 times more in the US than the UK. This is despite the fact that the drug is manufactured by GSK [2], which is UK-based. It was developed by Innoviva, though, which is US-based [3]. What this means in terms of price-setting agreements and licensing, though, is not easy to see, and whether research grants would substitute for the expected profits from the pricing discrepencies.

Can you pick out any problems in particular pointed out in this article, that are more frequently picked up on by women?

Most of the common ones seem to be a company or manager's words not matching their actions. The sample sizes I've experienced may be fairly small so far (very few female colleagues, as ever), but I've seen men and women leave in equal measure for that type of transgression.
Um hope I'm not being humourless but obviously if the percentage was reversed then the Men would notice and a majority would be somewhat bothered by it. Especially if they perceived a difference in how they were treated as part of that smaller group...

Isn't this kind of the point? Am I missing summat?
The pay factor is definitely something that should be looked at more. I should not have find out, after talking to any woman in tech who has a passion for it, that they're basically just barely able to make it when others with the same duties at the same or other companies make a livable wage.
Stumbling on Happiness. The best insight here is - people are very good at rationalizing / being happy about bad results, when they result from a decision to do something (e.g. change job / move ...) - less so when they decide not to do something (stay in the current job etc.) Using this as a tie-breaker rule has been a great help.

Negotiation is only effective if you can walk away from the deal.

The drug companies can't afford to lose their biggest customer. But since the customer can't go anywhere else, it's not like they would. It's a detente where neither side can really make a move because the other just says "Nope."

I think transparency - as in publicly available pricing - would be the only thing to change the balance here. Even then, it's not a fix..

I've found myself finding more common ground with young women on my teams than with the young men for this reason, and for the reason that when I do have something constructive to offer during a review then young women generally respond to it in a way that I like (e.g. they make a value judgement about what advice was worth taking and what wasn't and do it).

The kind of men you're describing seem to find a way to turn everything into a sport, and seem to be oblivious to the effect that they have on people whose attitudes toward competition don't match their own. It is frequently embarrassing to watch, and definitely my least favorite aspect of this work.

It depends on what you are doing. I find programming on one monitor to be fine, but I have a schedule with email, excel workbooks to compare with Visio diagrams / Word docs, Web conferences, a soft phone, and my Surface happens to be touch/tablet with OneNote. Virtual desktops with multiple monitors works great on Windows 10, but other than when I am running a VM, I never use them.

However, one major gripe I have with Windows 10 is how stupid it is with multiple monitors. If I click on a link, open a file, or open an app with the Start Menu, I expect it to open in the same window. Not Windows 10, I swear it has an algorithm developed just to pick the least expected monitor. It is practically a game of whack-a-mole. This alone is a huge unnecessary UX productivity loss that doesn't exist with a single display.

The first problem here is that you mentioned Sapir-Whorf, and Saphir-Whorf does not have a precise definition. You simply be talking past people with respect to how strong a degree of relativity you are claiming.

I can agree that different languages are more suitable for different purposes and affect how we express different problems. That is consistent with a very weak form of Sapir-Whorf. If that's the extent of your claim, then I don't think there's much controversy over that specific claim.

In response, many gamers are revolting and asking for refunds. Their reason is that Playtonic did it as a political move and games shouldn't be political. And a lot of "SJW" stuff. Playtonic, in response, is banning a lot of people from the Steam forums and refusing refunds. (I don't know if Playtonic is banning people for asking for refunds of them just being rude).

> For me, the stand-up specials like Dave Chapelle and Louis CK alone are huge and welcome additions, never mind the many, very good lesser known comedy specials on there

The reason there is so much standup comedy on Netflix is because it is incredibly cheap to produce. It probably costs between $50k-150k to shoot a special, comedian payout is also inexpensive in comparison and then they can stream it forever....
It's important to be open minded when thinking about how alien life might perceive the universe. In that spirit, and being deliberately provoking, I previously wrote:

Was math so universal that any intelligent species discovered the same math as what humans had discovered? Could there be a universe where irrational numbers were the primitives upon which all mathematics was based, in the same way that humans based all of their mathematics on the prime numbers? Was there a “beautiful” universe in which irrational numbers did not exist, and all patterns were simple? Perhaps there was a universe which lacked electromagnetism, and, even as our universe had atoms whose changing bonds explained all physical phenomena, perhaps that other universe had manifields whose changing coordinate systems, mapping one dimension to another, explained all physical phenomena? Our own universe was composed of 3 solid dimensions and then a fractional 4th, but what would life be like in a universe that consisted only of fractional dimensions? How could aliens imagine something whole, if nothing in their universe was whole? How could such aliens imagine a “one”, an integer, something complete? Perhaps in such a universe the integers were the most difficult concept in math, only discovered after thousands of years of careful research. Perhaps there was an alien far smarter than any of his peers, admired even as we admire Einstein, whose greatest accomplishment was the discovery of the formula “1 + 1 = 2”, a formula which, in that universe, was so utterly counter-intuitive that most adults went through their life without ever understanding it.
Agreed - I am not female, and these are the same reasons I'd be unhappy with a job or leave.
This assumes the 'outrage community' is a thing that exists and is a bunch of angry people, frothing at the mouth, waiting to attack anyone who isn't toeing their line. Maybe they even have meetings. If they do I haven't been invited. That might be because they don't exist. I believe my responses have been well measured, and the idea of an 'outrage community' is something that has been propped up to point to as a defense against criticism, no matter how deserved.

"People don't like that I'm racist? No, that's the outrage community"

"I feel attacked on all sides. Could it be that the majority of people find my ideals abhorrent? No, that's the outrage community"

In short, it's a way to pretend you are part of a silent majority, attacked by a vocal minority in the absence of actual evidence.
If that exposed opinion is "race x should be attacked" then kids of race x can end up attacked as result. If you convince children that it is right to attack members of race x, then other kids of race x will end up attacked. That is how it always was.

After all, nazi did won war of ideas and so did hutu and so did khmer rouge.

I usually use one large monitor with my MacBook as a smaller sidecar for little things like music, billing timer, notes, etc. but there's one time when I've found two monitors come in really handy: if I'm mixing local terminal work and server-side terminal work. The most important thing when doing this kind of work is to ensure that you always know if you're working on your local or on a server. I've used different terminal colour schemes, even different terminal applications - but for me it's even better to have local on one screen and remote on a completely different screen.

(I've sometimes dug out an old machine so I would even have to use a completely different keyboard - but those aren't always available.)

But as a developer, I'm generally more happy with lots of terminal windows on one big screen - but that's just me.
Does anyone here spend much of their usual 'entertainment' time watching YouTube

Yep, although it's usually in the background while working or reading as with most entertainment nowadays. My YouTube to TV ratio is easily 3:1. It's really all down to what you subscribe to. You can make it as high brow, low brow, mixed, technical, non-technical, or whatever as you want - there is really a channel for everything and that's where it's even better than TV.

Now finding those great channels.. it's a HUGE discovery problem. I mean, I know what I'm looking for and am still surprised to find excellent channels I'd never seen before.
Yeah, I realized after posting that this would be a critique. I should have stipulated that it's a C syntactic language, which seems to be many peoples preference based on the most successful languages out there.

Microsoft’s Plan to Dominate Connected Cars

Well, due to the outrageous skew in gender, I think you have to read these things more deeply. There are offices with 18 or 20 men and 0 women or 1 woman. That doesn't happen statistically - certainly not with the incentives of exceedingly high salaries and a field that is open to all (by means of a computer science undergraduate program.) Look at something that is much harder than becoming a software engineer: becoming an MD in the United States. It has far higher mental and educational requirements; it's simply harder. An MD can learn C++ (to code their medical application) much faster than a C++ engineer can learn even a tiny part of the MD's domain expertise.

Here is the gender breakdown of MD's:

http://kff.org/other/state-indicator/physicians-by-gender/

Women comprise 34% of MD's to 66% men. That is a statistical skew, but nowhere near the 93% male that programmers face. In essence when you reply to a comment here on HN you could carelessly say "he" referring to an OP without referring to their first name, whereas if this were a forum for physicians you would not make that assumption because it's not skewed enough for you to do so. (Here on HN there are lots of female engineers but they don't usually announce themselves explicitly.)

So software engineering has a gender problem. Now we're getting an interview about what some people cite for leaving an industry in which they can make six figures within their first five years, with nothing more than an undergraduate education or the equivalent self-learning of 25% of one.

So it is important to read the interviews extremely carefully and with a very open mind.

For example, what are some of the worst things about being a software engineer: insane hours; intense mental focus (it is impossible not to take your work home with you and I am sure many programmers routinely dream of the tasks they are working on); coupled with bull-pen open space offices:

However, open office plans[1] were not cited by the women in this interview. Zero mentions as far as I can see (I re-skimmed and also searched inline for "open').

The word hour or hours does not occur a single time.

So even though it appears that the issues cited are independent of gender, it is imperative to read these interviews very deeply. There could be more to them than meets the eye.

I don't know what it is, but it has to be in these interviews, lurking beneath the surface. Read more deeply.

Drug prices in US go up because of collusion between Insurance Companies and Drug manufacturers.

Would I buy expensive health insurance if drugs cost me $100 a month? Most probably never.

What if the sticker price for my monthly dose of drugs was $10,000 or $50,000? You bet I'd go get an insurance that'd cost $500 a month.

With such sticker shock, manufacturer reaps in profits. Insurance companies get to charge higher premiums.

Solution:
Fix IP laws for drugs in US. If the drug costs beyond the 2x or 5X of what it costs in India, or than the average of drug prices in a few countries, then that drug loses all its IP protections in US. Manufacturer is still free to charge zillions for that product, but there'll be no restrictions on copycats or generic versions from outside US taking over the market.

It'll help in keeping a sensible profit margin for manufacturers without ripping off Americans.

Most problems in healthcare costs in US, are due to insurance companies dictating terms.
Hi,

I'm an developer who always struggle with what to do with color. Recently I want to use `orange` based theme for my start-up app and struggle quite a bit with it.

So I though why not generating a color scheme from some popular website.

I crawl list of ycombinator site from `yclist.com` and take screenshot to generate these.

Will add more features and next couple days such as:

- Generate color from `ProductHunt` site
- Generate color from `Show HN` sites

And a way to classify those website by color. I'm thinking of split each of `red`, `green`, `blue` to chunk of 50 and combine them.

Feedback to improve and Contribution are welcome: https://github.com/yeospace/chi-playground
For what it is worth, numbers are not necessarily a 'universal concept'.

One of the most talked about examples is Piraha[0], a language which doesn't really represent numbers. This is interesting because a study done by Everett and Frank[1] shows that this can actually have effects on cognition, providing some evidence for the Sapir-Wharf hypothesis[3]
