As an outside observer, anecdotally, culturally at this juncture (plenty of room to change), from the lower class to upper-middle class families I was able to interact with in China last year, I didn't get a sense gǎi shàn (改善) was commonplace. The prevailing sentiment I experienced was chà bu duō (差不多), "near enough"...but that isn't peculiar to China, I run into that world-wide. I have a loosely-held suspicion on why this apparently seems to be a universal human trait, mainly to do with the second law of thermodynamics.

The gǎi shàn meme (and its consistent practice) seems to me more highly correlated with specific organizations that promulgate it: families, companies, clubs, etc., than a particular ethnicity/nation. YMMV, of course; I'm interested in hearing where people see this meme practiced.

They provide references do they not?
I'm fine with stuff like that as long as the text is readable. On a 1080p screen unfortunately it is not. I don't know what they were thinking :/
I'm not giving that advice. I'm saying that there are people who do.
There are plenty of resources like the 400 MHz and Up Club. QST still publishes lots of projects.
When you tell employees your number so as not to waste time, do you name the number at the top of the range or at the bottom?
I also don't think this is what was meant.

In the US non-profits have to disclose this because the law says so and generally the non-profits do so in the most minimal discrete way possible. Few people, rarely recruiters, know where to go to get the information. This is even a service some background check companies provide.

I think the comment was referring to companies that celebrate the high wages they pay as a way to attract the best talent.
That last one about unemployment isn't from the realm of checkable facts because the data are vast enough to be difficult to verify, and because the definition of unemployment isn't settled or universally agreed. And you can't rely on government figures to overcome the first problem, because of the second. ("Official" definitions of unemployment are swayed by political motivations and are known to under-report certain kinds of unemployment that legitimately should be counted.)
I'd estimate about 2% of my Facebook friends are regularly using Swarm, and about half of them very heavily (multiple checkins every day). It would be foolish to extrapolate from a sample of 1, but I find it likely that they still have tens of millions of active users. Maybe they have something in the pipeline to make Swarm more interesting?
I work for the micro:bit Foundation, who have taken ownership of the project on from the BBC - great to see some love on HN for this! There's more at http://microbit.org but for the Hacker News audience you're probably interested in http://tech.microbit.org though ;). There's even a reference design to make your own microbit-derived designs.

Of course, but they have the right to know what you are bringing in, this can involve searching people, it's a practical necessity.

> (or a very small one, by default).

Some details here... every language other than assembly languages has some amount of runtime. This is Rust's: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/libstd/rt.... (as you allude to, many people refer to this amount of runtime as "no runtime" since it's very, very small.)

You could also consider some other things as part of a runtime; for example, by default on most platforms, Rust includes jemalloc. That can be removed, though not in stable Rust. Same with the standard library code, which can be removed for libraries, but not binaries just yet (due to a small technicality regarding the stability of some attributes.) Things that do this are likely to use some of Rust's other unstable features at the moment, so it's not generally a burden to do so, and those interfaces rarely change right now.
Sure, smart pointers can also refer to bounds checking, etc.

In this case, grandparent did mention a memory management technique, namely garbage collection.

Memory management + plus typically required thread safety usually means reference counting.

Pfft! Altering RNA. That's nothing. Once I was in a Los Angeles book store, named Bodhi Tree, where a woman was giving a lecture on altering human DNA using psychic power.
> You can only hurt yourself by giving a number.

That's far too big of a generalization and I think it's easier to talk about specific scenarios. The parent comment alluded to a quite common counterexample:

1. salary range for position is 100k-150k

2. candidate is first to talk and names anywhere from $130k to $170k

3. candidate gets talked down a bit, e.g. 10%

It seems to me the candidate will still end up higher than if the company is first to talk and names $100k!
For years I've wondered about the feasibility of this but the thing that always held me back was the liability of having a spinning blade running around people's property effectively unsupervised.

A bit dramatic but a serious question: what happens when one of these sucks up a poodle or maims a child?

Really cool reads. I actually got stuck on a tangent reading about the story of Trip Hawkins

I hope people do support the author (I've almost convinced myself that I will support all the awesome content I come across the Internet if I do "make it" - so many good writers, webcomics, video creators... and I have a 50 dollars/month entertainment budget)
Right - so this is actually a hard problem worth solving, unlike many of the problems that SV solves.

Let's acknowledge that and stop treating these people like Heroes because they got rich.
From the readme in the parent directory: http://prints.corkami.com/
From my experience, naming your price works in your favor if you are aggressive. People having similar positions are paid at 20% difference all dependent on their negotiation skills. Also, companies usually don't have set budgets for positions. It's quite fluid depending on the person being recruited and their other offers and expectations. You need to make it work in your favor. If you send up leaving money on the table, it just shows you did not come prepared.
Besides, there's nothing wrong in getting what you asked for even if in another set of circumstances, with some amount of luck, you could have gotten more.
Works fine as a remote desktop client though :D

The point is that to actually validate a product idea, potential customers should actually pay, or show a real interest in paying, for that product. Otherwise, it's not validated.

Disclaimer: never tried, but it's a typical advice I read in this kind of posts.
Just because a concept originated in one culture/civilization, it doesn't mean the culture that created the concept will continue to embrace it and be the leader. Buddhism is one example. While it was spread to Japan via China, it actually originated in India. I would make a similar argument with gaishan.

At the moment, chabuduo reigns over gaishan in China.

> I'd caution against using broad strokes

Yes it can be dangerous using broad strokes. However are there no dominant features or beliefs in a particular culture regardless of its size? My opinions on Chinese culture both on the mainland and elsewhere were formed after a lifetime of exposure to it so maybe I'm biased.

> That said, kaizen as a Japanese industrial concept a la Toyota is continuous (small!) improvements, not broad ground-breaking change

I don't know as much about Japanese culture as I do about Chinese. What I mean is the Japanese obsession with mastery of an art or skill. I can't remember the word. I don't feel that it's shuhari either but I could be wrong.

I don't care at all what other people at the company make. I just know for a fact that on average, across all the companies I apply to (don't forget, you see a lot of candidates, but at the same time we are seeing lots of companies), I will get more money if I push back on an offer.

Twitch unleashes scorched-earth attack to unveil malicious spambot creator
I purchased the high end $1700 version of SP4 in December. It is small enough for me to take to everywhere; like I am carrying a notebook. It is one of the best purchases I have made. I am almost never without it.

I'm a developer. For most of my career I wanted the top of the line workstation with dual socket xeon boards to do my work. More and more I find that unnecessary, for a number of reasons; one of them being almost every stack is getting lighter weight. Even Java EE containers spin up quickly. Still, I want as close to the experience I had with custom built Xeon workstations, and still be mobile. Laptops just aren't mobile. Also, it is mildly embarrassing to pull out a monster windows laptop in public (while everyone cooler than me clicks away on their mac). Plus, giving up any power for limited mobility isn't worth it for me. The convenience of using the SP4 trumps any limitations. The only limitations I can think of are screen size and resolution issues when attaching external monitors when at home. Otherwise, I couldn't be happier with it.
Funny enough, I edited my comment at just about the same time you posted this comment :-)
uniq_ptr<T> in C++ and Box<T> in Rust are both considered smart pointers, dealing with memory management, and don't do any reference counting, bounds checking, or anything else like that at runtime. They're a compile-time abstraction only.
Agreed.

It looks to me like that is a piece of molded plastic that was ripped and an attempted repair may have been made.

That piece is probably made with with tabs that fit into slots to align it and glued into place.

If that's correct than either the tear and repair attempt was made at the factory and it failed miserably or it was torn after the car was delivered.

Since the car was new I'd have to think that quality control would have required the part be replaced, not repaired, but if that happened the factory should have a record of it.

It may not have been the owner who did it. Could've been someone they know, or their kids. Stuff happens :D
You're just making a different point than the OP. He was arguing that there's no evidence that these tools have been used outside of the accepted bounds of the CIA. That's obviously false given the Senate hacking (which itself was over the CIA not liking the results of governance over another tool in their arsenal: "enhanced interrogation").

But going back to the temporary disbanding, how in practice do you think that would work? You can't just jail or execute all of the military. Wouldn't it stand to reason that the very weapons used against the government would be locked up until you could figure out who those 'domestic enemies' are that the Oath to the Constitution talks about? Yes the very existence of these tools isn't a problem, these tools being in the hands of those who have proved that they are systemically incapable of legally using these tools is a problem. You therefore remove those tools from their arsenal, going so far as to disband them entirely if necessary (ie. if their use of these tools threatens the country on a whole and you can't trust them to truly give the tools up completely).

I don't have a problem with the use of these tools in general by intelligence agencies, I have a problem with the CIA's access to these tools.
Owen's Transport Tycoon Station – Four Way Junctions
This happened to me, not necessarily in a bad way, but makes me think what I should've asked for.

I attempted to do research on the company and their salaries for that position via glassdoor, salaries in the area, etc. (they are rated as an open company). They asked what I was looking for in compensation, so I went little bit higher than what my homework said they were paying (this was still substantially more than my current pay), we negotiated a tiny bit on bonuses, but eventually got the amount I was "looking for" in my offer letter.

In the end they ended up being a great company to work for, and I'm really happy there.
To me take the ego out of ideas is more "don't tie the idea up in you." If you tie it up in yourself, people pointing out flaws in the idea can feel like a personal attack no matter the validity of the concern, which can make it harder to look for adjustments to your idea to find the most correct path, as the odds are your original idea will need adjustment to reach its final, valuable form.
Now, when do we have the discussion how this request should never have been submitted in the first place?

You are feeding into what he is saying about there being a lot of context that gets ignored in the name of fact checking. In this case the implicit qualifier is that the liquid is RIGHT NOW 72 degrees. He clearly isn't stating that the liquid will always be that temperature. Of course if you come along later there can be a different environment.
A) They can legally ask all of these.

B) All of these are in reference to one or more protected classes, which is why it's not legal to discriminate based on one's answer(s) or refusal to answer.

C) Last I checked, "previously made {less,more} than a certain salary" is not a protected class.
I guess with the centralized approach you still have the possibility to detect malicious content. With the decentralized updates it is harder as you need to detect malicious updates.
There's always the unlikely but nonetheless possible political miracle, where people deem the system of governance to be failing and set about changing it. Admittedly the predictable conflicts that would result would themselves come with a significant environmental bill, but you can't make an omelette without breaking eggs.

Leaving aside disagreements by people(who a lot of them are politically motivated and maybe not the result of deep thinking and rational thought or aiming to benefit everyone), doesn't the research tells us about what interventions benefit everybody ?

This was an awesome awesome game. Unimaginable how I played that for so many hours on such a tiny tiny screen :)
So when UO came out I was working at intel, we had a game lab (building out and testing the celeron SIMD based machines as intel was goaling for sub $1,000 machine)

We had 6 UO accounts...

We used to be followed around by admins who were invisibe because they were studying how we were so successful at the game.

We did use macros - but it was really about the fact that we had an OC-48 and everyone else was on a 56K modem.... and our Hide skill was 100 - but we played on 6 machines all right next to eachother and we had mule accounts - and nefarious accounts...

So we had Snoop and Sneek our mules with hide of 100, then we had both Great Lord Phlux and Dread Lord Phlux (me) and same for Mym...

We would taunt great lords with our dread lord accounts and then chase them down with our great lord accounts and they would attack us and lose their status and become dastardly and they would lose their shit.

We found this great axe that was bugged. It could kill literally any character with one hit. The mods that were following us around wound up taking the weapon, we were pissed - but they deleted the weapon as it was so bugged that we massacred many a foe.

we were skilled at kiting dragons to the top of our castle, then trapping them in corners of the castl with chests such that we would train our characters on attacking them.

We built houses around the front of the castle to enclose it, then we only used runes to teleport in, but we blocked all the other spots with bags of flour such that you could not rune into the spots...

Draygor (our third member) got too stoned and got whacked by the japanese contingent that we were at war with and he failed to put his rune in the bank....

the japanese team runed into our courtyard, and hid until we opened the door with our castle butler and then attacked and they stole every loot we had in a massive store of chests in the castle....

we quite after that.

I founded and am the sole moderator of r/apachespark. That one's easy because it's a well-behaving crowd and the purpose of the subreddit is obvious. The only real things I do is remove spam/unrelated material and tag big releases as announcements.

More generally, I think the moderators' main job is to set the mission/rules of the subreddit, and enforce them. Subreddits with weak enforcement rarely thrive as they devolve into the least common denominator.
Yea. It's a shame but that was exactly that I thought. The withdrew the _public_ request... because they don't need the request at all or they have another request they can make that isn't public.
A bit OT...

Torrents as a CDN strategy [demo, video]
To paraphrase: On a long-enough timescale all languages are fads.

The ultimate power that can actually be manifested in physical reality (as far as we know) is still Turing Machines[1]... the rest is mostly ergonomics.

[1] Well, QM may add a "little bit" of efficiency, but it doesn't add any oracular power, per se. AFAIUI, at least.
What if instead of a blind auction, a company conducts an open Dutch auction? That is, everyone can see the amount of stock sold so far and the price of each transaction (the buyers may remain anonymous). The prices different buyers pay are not necessarily the same: the first buyer pays the highest price, the late buyers pay less but risk having nothing at all if they wait too long. In an open auction, bidding too high just causes the buyer to lose some money.
As a concrete example, the original formulation was a 2 for 1 tax credit. Let's say taxes are 10% if BI is $1000 dollars, and you earn no money, you get $1000.

if you earn $500, ($50 in taxes), you get 2 for one credits, so that pulls $25 out of your 1000, you take home $500 for working, and $975 for BI.

if you earn $100000, $10000 in taxes, you get a 2 for one credit, so only $8000 in taxes.

BI makes it always better to earn some money.

People always seem to forget the tax credit side, and assume we're just writing everyone a check.

China is not Russian style system where oligarchs close to leader step in and steal your stuff if you get rich.

China resembles (British) monarchy of the old. There are laws, but they are not same for the common man and to the noble (60 million members of the communist party). If you steer away from the politics, you can be entrepreneur and become rich.

Corruption exists of course, but that's like taxation. You pay your taxes and bribes. Bribing can sometimes allow more freedoms than completely lawful society, because it allows more.

China has basically the same bioethical laws as the west, but they are not enforced because party does not care. China became the first country to approve the commercial production of a gene therapy.
Yeah seriously going back a bit there on a rather obscure, buggy game. For all its flaws, which were many, the experience overall was exhilarating.
