That article is an egregious example of selection effects. Practically no-one who enjoys or enjoyed their time at Amazon talks about it. The company instils a strong sense of secrecy, so if you're still there, or might imagine rejoining someday (I am in this latter group) you likely say very little or nothing, and certainly not at length to journalists. Combine that with a very strongly flavoured i.e. polarising company culture and you have all the conditions for the NYT's hatchet job.

Reminds me of this case. The movie made a reference to a sculpture, but made it appear demonic instead of the intended angelic effect.

The author of the work sued and won a settlement, having the scene be cut for video sales.
That, indeed. If you want something lighter-weight than Unity or Gnome but based on the Gnome stack, running Budgie on top of your existing distro is a nice alternative.

One of these days I'm going to get it packaged in Fedora too...
Ubuntu GNOME has been an official distro for a few iterations already. Will be dropped in the future.

Or our brain is a telegraph, the world wide web, an orchestra, a theater, a tv, millions of mindless bots, etc.

We use metaphors to help understand things we lack a literal explanation for, or the full explanation is complex and ongoing (neuroscience, biology, chemistry).

Ubuntu GNOME is the official spin that ships with a GNOME desktop.
No one's life can last forever. I'd like to enjoy mine eating cheese and having a glass of milk with cookies.
Certainly there's nothing an Echo or whatever can do that you can't do with any properly-set-up PC or phone. The Echo just does it faster and hands-free. It's not life-changing or revolutionary, but it is handy.
I like that as a concept, except it doesn't even go into local history (up arrow), which makes the feature so frustrating for me that I ended up turning it off. Too many times I copy and paste something and end up with a little extra whitespace at the beginning. I guess the number of times I've done it on purpose was dwarfed by the number of times I did it on accident, and that killed it for me.
Honest question, did you read the article? While I haven't read this particular one, I'm familiar enough with the field to know that controlling for confounding factors is one of the most basic types of controls. Any half-decent article would control for the kind of thing you're suggesting.

That said, the article appears to have been published by Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, which does have a less than stellar reputation for rigorous peer-review and, as a result, article quality[0].

> Authors may seek moral rights protection from state moral rights laws and art preservation statutes in California and New York, whose provisions resemble those of VARA.

> VARA grants two rights to authors of visual works: the right of attribution, and the right of integrity.
In principle, the ideas sound great. In practice, the biggest decisions seem to have high switching costs (e.g. home purchase), by design, to reduce flexibility.

So it might prove useful to pursue courses of action that provide maximum flexibility.
If you just want type checking for JavaScript, use Closure Compiler:

https://developers.google.com/closure/compiler/

Code checking. The Closure Compiler provides warnings for illegal JavaScript and warnings for potentially dangerous operations, helping you to produce JavaScript that is less buggy and easier to maintain.
Do hard real time systems discourage dynamic memory because historically there were no systems that could provide real time guarantees or because of some theoretical barriers? I think it's the former.
this is exactly the CON of the burndown chart. it's a guide, nothing more. I wouldn't say its bad to learn from what the chart gives you, except if its trying to get a linear burn. In fact.... one may argue there is value in underfilling sprints (from a capacity standpoint) and then overdelivering, every time. otherwise known as... momentum or GTD
The difference between a security guard and a police [officer or force] is the ability to arrest and detain for legal infractions. A sworn (and deputized) peace officer may enforce the laws they are and have sworn to uphold regardless of if they are "on the clock" or being paid. Many security guards are often police officers working a second job.
You don't know much about art, or indeed logic. The artistic equivalent of drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa would have been to damage the original physically. Incorporating its existence into a new work is the opposite of vandalism and will definitely be upheld should it come to court.
In Argentina, IG is wayyy more popular than SC, especially in the < 25 demography. < 25 may not use FB, but they definitely use IG & whatsapp.
For those not familiar with "dc", try running dc and then running "7 100 ^ p". Arbitrary precision! One of the reasons dc doesn't print things out is so you can use it to do arithmetic in your shell scripts.
Do you mean on a yubi-key type thing, or do you mean password protected, or do you mean something else entirely?
BTW, the same with Instagram. When I used Android version, most videos were unplayable or freezing in the middle. When pressing photo shutter button actual taking of photo occured 5-10 seconds later so it was a challenge just to take photo (builtin photo app worked well). And it was on older Nexus, not on some random chinese phone.
Yeah and presumably to head off a million YouTube videos of people naming it dumbass, then saying "Hey dumbass what's the weather" and so on.
I've always felt that Teacherspayteachers is interesting, but it can’t be a general purpose curriculum tool. The marketplace model also distorts (in my mind) the incentives for sharing while limiting buyers/users to the infrequent, desperate and/or inexperienced. The relationship between teachers is purely transactional, so there is no collaborative development or improvement of the content over time. Likewise, it is reliant on discrete documents, which I find inflexible. This inflexibility might not matter if you're working with young kids and just need a fun activity/game - but (as a high school teacher) it is a significant hinderance to using this platform on a regular basis.

All that said, sincere props to Paul Edelman for developing a strong community around the site.
Why would that matter to him as a businessman.

Awards are attention for the works you're creating, equating to more money.

If some "better" award came along tomorrow which had the same implications, he'd be tracking those too.

Kind of leaving a very important detail out here.
This issue wasn't overbooking - they had mechanical failure on the scheduled aircraft and had to swap in a smaller plane.

The problem here was not detecting that the flight was _now_ overbooked after reducing the available seats.
Nice job on the site. Am I the only one that can't help but read the name as "Friendtainter".
The US military tries to sort out the loudmouths from the competent officers. They don't always succeed, but there's an organized process.

China's leadership tends to be promoted step by step. Read Li Keqiang's resume.[1] Promotions are faster for the well connected (the "princelings"), but leaders go through a lot of jobs on the way up.

Fedora is pretty good imo
Have you encountered limitations in Elm that pushed you to resort to writing JavaScript (as opposed to using JavaScript libraries from Elm through ports)?
Not very much, but performance correlates with the price of the components and the energy consumption.
I don't really know if piracy is good for business, but I don't believe it's bad for it. At worst, its net effect is innocuous for content-creators.

Your example expanded with more context is something I've heard - I wouldn't fully agree with that rationalisation, but to expand further I would say that torrentors who would have otherwise bought your content often will anyway, and often wouldn't have if it hadn't been torrentable (not so much because there's a culture of sampling before buying - there is but it's rare - but more because torrent sites are far superior even to Spotify as discovery platforms, which is the best that's come out of the industry to date).

Add to that the balancing nature of a network where exposure is not governed directly by economics, and you see discovery naturally decreased for Beyoncé and U2 relative to <insert any genuinely struggling content creator>.

Typescript is great.
You should move into management then
That is an exaggeration, for most embedded jobs you don't need $100k in test equipment. I am sure there are exceptions, but usually you will need the target, a debugger and _maybe_ a logic analyzer or an oscilloscope.
The thing you offer is a fancy editor for statically generated websites, but for the prices you're asking, I would expect you to host the site as well.
Also, looking at the videos/gifs on your website, it seems to me that the editor isn't even truly WYSIWYG. Sure, the text-areas are WYSIWYG, but you're not editing the content in the templates themselves, which would be way more useful.

I also want to second the suggestion to make this FOSS. I know you fear for the economic repercussions, but unless your product is unique and super game-changing (which IMHO it isn't), people will mostly pay for the service they get on top of the product. This can still be a differentiator, even when the software itself is also available as FOSS.
Seems the best approach is to wait and see how .NET Core 2 shapes up and also to wait until your company actually uses Windows 10. By that time MS will probably have come up with something new anyway :-)
There isn't a very good automated testing strategy for ansible modules. If you look in the documentation there are examples that should exercise all the code paths, so a future developer can validate it is still working by running it with those examples. So much of the logic of the module requires you to interact with boto that without a substantial mocking of that interface the tests would be effectively worthless.
Or maybe you are just not the target audience for the app.
How is that not a problem in HTTP?

This is just API versioning, that needs to happen regardless of the protocol you choose.

edit I see you mean the protocol itself (like if gRPC goes from version 1 to 1.2 or something). Yes, that's a thing... most protocol developers are careful about backwards compatibility to allow for some services to be behind a few minors to account for this. Also, HTTP still isn't invulnerable to this...HTTP/2 is very much a thing.

If Apple released 10.13, waited 2-3 weeks, and then explained that one of their big devs left the company so ~ shrug ~ everyone just downgrade, we're gonna re-do it again but throw everything away, and oh yeah, here's a THIRD beta UI we've got in development because apparently we've learned 0 lessons, people would absolutely claim amateur hour. And they'd be right.

I haven't even gotten to why they went from a new React UI to an angular 2 based UI, which, I just can't even on that one yet.
Hah.. beat me to it :) I was about to recommend Permutation City while seeing your comment. That was an intense book, to say the least.
Why assume racism?

Some people hope their children will be in their elder years, and adopting means the children may be more likely to bond with biological parents. Media that romanticize finding one's 'real' parents can indirectly contribute to those kinds of concerns.
Note that this poster, Anselm Levskaya, did his post doc at Stanford, a university that receives hundreds of millions of dollars per year in "funding" from private (secret) sources, among them, companies like Monsanto and Cargill.

"firmly and promptly"??

However it goes, I hope it doesn't involve one side or the other saying the other had no business even having their opinion on the matter.

Both artists seem to have had positive intents, yet the two together are incompatible with the first artist's intent. While satire typically allows both works to exist in their original contexts, the Charging Bull becomes a menace here, no longer able to be interpreted as a symbol of economic optimism.

The Fearless Girl has value, too, but it is not without critics either, so there is at least a valid discussion to be had.
NASA Press Conference 'Oceans Beyond Earth' 6PM GMT
I like to use it for situationally-appropriate accompaniment. Just won a game of Pandemic? "Alexa, play 'We Are the Champions'." Just lost a game of Pandemic? "Alexa, play 'It's the End of the World as We Know It'." :)
I don't mean to nitpick, but I don't think it takes very long to break a sleep habit. I travel quite a bit and so am not only changing my actual sleep hours significantly (i.e. going to bed at what used to be my 4pm or whatever) but also changing them based on local timezones (so this job requires me to go to bed 2am local time, vs another job where I can go to bed 10pm local time). Anyway point is I'm usually adjusted within a week.

And I certainly adjusted from my "classes start at 7am" in highschool schedule to my "classes start at 12pm" schedule in college near instantaneously.
Are you saying that it's impossible to control your thoughts?

Saying that "you choose what to think" means that you can control your thoughts.

You seem to be operating with unusual definitions of "think" and "thoughts" if thinking does not result in thoughts.

I don't understand why things like this get posted to HN so often. This kind of program is a very common exercise in university courses and appears in countless programming books. Heck, you implemented it in C, and this exact exercise appears in K&R C.

I hope this doesn't come off as snide... I just don't understand why the author would think this is something worth showing off.

Not on my iPad... Which browser are you on? I used the arrows on the side of the slide not underneath.
I'm not sure how you can protect against malware aside from not visiting sketchy sites or downloading shady apps. Pretty much by definition they use security holes, which if people were aware of wouldn't exist in the first place. Only attack vector I can think of is some kind of SMS attack, to which the "solution" would be to disable SMS, if you're really worried about that. Personally I'm not.
If the systems they build and maintain generate magnitudes larger revenue for their overload owners, then why not 800k salaries. Time for labor to actually be valued.
On the other hand, Facebook's thirsty attempt at pushing the same feature in all of their apps is both fragmented and ham-handed. It seems to have landed with a thud - I have seen exactly one contact post a Story in either the Facebook or Messenger apps. They've now started posting greyed-out profile pictures of frequent contacts to make the space seem popular, seemingly encouraging the user to use the feature to contact those people. It seems sad, frankly.

Not a gimmick at all... if I could track my blood sugar in even 5 minute intervals, it would be nice to know, and help a lot. As it is, I'm LADA, which has aspects of type 1 and 2, and my body is also very adept with gluconeogenesis... even if I have nearly no carbs (no refined sugars, no bread/pasta, minimal overall intake) for a few days, my blood sugar can start spinning out.

It's about keeping things as level as possible. Also, genetic therapy could be amazing... but it's still, afaik a very long way off.
Usually it's around $10K (sig-gen, scope, logic analyzer, jtag) but occasionally there's an RF test chamber and associated gear involved :)

Fearless Girl absolutely changes the original intent and meaning of Charging Bull. ('A symbol of the "strength and power of the American people".') In a sense, Fearless Girl is a derivative work—using the original art, no less—created without permission of the artist.

It's less about environment and more about the fact that Fearless Girl would not make any sense without Charging Bull.

Whether the artist has a right to prevent derivative works, whether this counts, and whether the city was within its rights is what's up for dispute.
I doubt it can happen, but I believe we would be well served to more clearly and firmly limit copyright within the classroom setting. I understand that publishers need to protect their investment, but teacher actively and regularly break the law in preparing curriculum for their classes.
> "financial resilience" becomes "confronting women"? wow.

Not women, cute little girls with cross looks on their faces.

Presumably State Street (creator of the thing) thinks full-grown women are less sympathetic, or the image of full-grown women confronting bulls hits a little too close to home with regard to their corporate culture, or something.
This remark is so brutally inhumane, so utterly disregarding of human behaviour and lacking in any sympathy or feeling for the most vulnerable that I wish Hacker News had a "block user" button.

ZigBee / Z-Wave are just getting started in their WEP everything stage. Most of the installed base is unencrypted. It will take many more years until they are at WPA2 levels of robustness.
Changing the meaning of an existing piece of art isn't vandalism, it is pure art. As an artist myself I reject your claim that Di Modica is somehow a 'superior artist' just because he happened to have his work there first. Kristen Visbal came up with something everyone who sees it reacts to without needing an intermediaries to draw attention to or explain the semantics of her artistic statement, which is precisely the goal of art.

Instagram is a social network where the best effect occurs when your account is public: you get social validation from a large audience liking your content on its merits, the sum of all your content forms a persistent feed, and your followers form a closer inner core with whom the nature of interaction is more immediate. This tends to be most rewarding for people who can attract a large number of likes; this number of likes is displayed to anyone who can see the content.

Snapchat is the inverse, where the content is aimed at one's followers, but one can submit notable content to be featured in the company-curated Discover section (about major events, for example). There is no public aggregation, there is no public display of likes.

The two platforms are still differentiated by their design philosophies, and in North America there is significant overlap in the userbase.

The danger, of course, is that once Instagram has cloned enough of Snapchat's functionality, the same users won't need to switch to Snapchat anymore to get the close-knit experience. Similarly, Snapchat may feel pressured to up its parity with Instagram in turn, by adding public features that are very different from its current model. In either case, the networks will have iterated themselves into equivalence [1], making the exact provider irrelevant and making pure network effects be the the deciding factor more often that not -- which gives an advantage to larger players.
