Nah, I don't have any animosity towards extroverts. 4chan-ers generally want to crush social norms so that they can live a little. It sucks being unhappy because you are constantly being told you're at the bottom of the food chain and that would be an excuse for not deserving to have a soul mate, at least that what a community of losers would conclude.

Personally, I just want women to forget their whole social prince charming hero and forget the whole father figure for a moment. There are many dating sites that empowers women and it's a good dynamic, many women try it and it gives them more room to breathe and pick. Maybe it's just targeted at new-age feminists.

I just value female freedom. I just sense the world is so anti-social because money and status empowers men more that it empowers women. To me it's a coin with 2 sides, money and male influence in society. Women have to submit because they are not competitive by nature, and even if they have the right to vote and live an independent life, in a relationship, to me they don't really seem free because most of them want the prince charming. Women could make society a little more social and less compartmentalized if they would be given more room to have an influence on how society works. I could not really describe exactly why, but to me women are still very dependent on a relationship to have a fulfilling life. Men don't seem to really care about being in a relationship.

I think I am wrong on most of what I write there.

I was into hiking and camping at a young age (Boy Scouts, friends who's parents did it) but my parents weren't what you'd call outdoorsy. We were good for about one or two family camping trips a year.

I'd saved up some cash and bought a few things from REI over the years but now it was a week before freshman year of high school and I needed a new backpack. I also had my eye on an REI house brand beauty for hiking that was a whopping $99 (this was 1997 and we weren't exactly the kind of family spending $99 on frivolous things).

Shocked at the outrageous price (being used to $15 Jansport) my mom proclaimed that it would never happen. I brought up the fact that I had never made it through an entire school year with one single cheap bag and that one REI bag would last me all of high school, so we'd be saving money.

Smash cut to 18 years later the water proof interior lining had all but completely flaked off and the drawstring channel tore in such a way that it was time to just call it quits.

That bag survived through 4 years of high school, 4 more of university, 200+ (maybe twice more) days of real backwoods camping, at least 500 fishing and hunting trips, 4 continents, and two kids of my own.

It was a very sad day when I finally had to admit it was time to put that old bag down to rest, but I didn't even think twice about where I was going to replace it from.
I think we can leave this one. HN's goal is to gratify curiosity. That isn't best served by spelling everything out, so it's ok to have a vague title or two.
The phrases "no bullshit" and "linear algebra" in the same sentence immediately brought to mind the essay "Down with Determinants!" by Sheldon Axler[0]. Having skimmed through the extended preview it looks like your focus is on the bare techniques and their applications rather than a playful approach, and determinants are introduced somewhat out of the blue (just as they are in almost any degree course). I realise of course that that's just a preview and the real thing could be very different. But I wonder what you think of the idea of postponing determinants until well after eigenvalues, diagonalisation and so on, when their definition and utility might be more appreciated?

What does it mean for a programming language to "tend to focus on task vs data parallelism"? In my mind, Go gives you primitives from which to build either data or task parallel algos, and the programmer can choose the kind of algorithm that they find appropriate (perhaps data parallelism is always faster, but perhaps some developers find task parallelism easier and their time is not well spent squeezing out the performance delta?). Is there some set of primitives that would cater more naturally to data parallelism? If these primitives exist, are they really 'better' than Go's primitives, or do they simply make task parallelism harder without making data parallelism easier? These aren't rhetorical questions; I'm genuinely curious to hear your opinion.

I carry my kindle around and try to read any chance I get. Or if there is not enough time to read, I try to do... nothing. Haha I know it may seem like a crazy concept but I have been trying to resist the urge of always looking through Instagram, Snapchat, HN, etc.

That's not to say I never do it, a lot of times I still find myself checking social accounts when I'm in line or whatever, but I try to avoid reddit entirely because of how it always manages to suck up more time than you expect and I have found it seriously feeds the addiction to content, especially news.
American employers only have to do withholding, which is extremely easy to calculate. Employees submit a W-4 listing the number of exemptions and any additional withholding. They plug it into a simple formula to calculate your withholding.

The withholding is not a calculation of actual taxes owed. E.g. it doesn't even have a way to account for spousal income for married couples.

Ask HN: What's a fair equity share to ask for dev co-lead of an internet startup
I got approached by some people with an internet startup business idea. they have no product, customers or code yet, they want to start by building a website first and they are proposing i lead the front end development in return for a 2.4% equity share. they said they received a 100k in funding, so i guess it's valued at that.
i've never been involved in such a thing before, but 2.4% seems little to me. do you think that is a fair share? is there a way to determine what a fair share might be?
Once he refuses to leave, he is trespassing

You state that as fact, but is that true? The passenger and airline are bound by a contract of carriage, and the passenger arguably did not violate any of the stipulations in there. The airline had no business asking him to leave. I'd very much like to see this hashed out in court one way or the other, but the fear is that they'll settle without admission of liability and under seal.
IIRC, a big part of the reason for choosing the 8088 was that Intel successfully generated some FUD about Motorola's ability to manufacture the 68000 in the quantity needed for the PC.

Right. If you fly close to a black hole there's no point complaining about getting sucked in.
>The only person who should go to jail is the person who thought he was so much more important than everyone else on his plane that he was the only one who refused to leave when asked, legally, by a police officer. Not only did he think he was more important than everyone on HIS plane, he thought he was more important than the people on the plane that was going to get cancelled because it didn't have a flight crew. Running back onto a plane, screaming, after being removed by law enforcement is a crime. He should go to jail.

This is such a crazy level of corporate apology that it's got to be sarcastic. United was not in the right to remove him. He stood up to that. If United really wanted to make room they should go for the market-based solution of just continuing to increase the price they were willing to pay for you to vacate your seat.
An unrealized change in the stock price doesn't really mean anything. Especially over the short term.

I think this is an anti-intellectual argument. Why would you argue against someone pursuing an idea? I don't see this as any threat to the distinction between art and mechanical reproduction.

Art has always been "ineffable" and will remain so, as long as humans have thoughts and feelings. Bad art, or lazy productions will be as ignored as ever.
It's unconditionally the same if it satisfy the very condition I was asking about.

TRUMP ASSASANDHATED FUNNY THE PRESIDENT DEAD IN BOX ,BOY ARRESTED AND SHERIFF
Couldn't United claim that there were four fewer 'available seats' than normal on this flight and thus it was oversold? It doesn't resolve the question of whether he was denied boarding or involuntarily removed but it does seem to be a reasonable interpretation of the first part of the contract.
FWIW, "not following crew instructions" isn't necessarily illegal. The specific law is "interfering with a flight crew", applies after the doors are shut, and isn't broadly just "not following instructions".
The only justification I've ever heard for why lobbyism should be legal is "lobbyists act as 'lawyers' to help the people be heard in the legislative sphere".

If that were true, "if you cannot afford a lobbyist, one will be provided to you" would be a thing (and no, I'm not talking about crowd-funded 'patches' like the public funded NPOs/watchdogs protecting our rights).

As far as I'm concerned it's functionally equivalent to straight-up bribery. Accomplishes the same ends for the same people, just sidesteps the definition.
Okay, good luck convincing people not to use slack because some hypothetical thing that doesn't exist could have the features they want, while being simpler than Slack and open source. That's your point?
Ok, here it is, basically, as I heard it in some reasoned reporting the other day:

The contract allows them to reschedule you. Period. You can be at the gate -- or even boarded -- with your "normal" fare, and a passenger can show up and pay full fare -- say a grand or two versus your $200 ticket.

It's economically advantageous for the airline to bump you and give your seat to the last-minute, full fare passenger. Even after comping you say $400 (and that's often in their script, not in actually, fungible dollars) for your inconvenience.

And, per the report, they will! Big surprise.

In short (in my words), you don't really have a ride until the plane is in the air.

If you think this is "unfair", might I suggest... gasp, some regulation?
Looks like someone is writing a patch already.

Why There Are No New Social Networks
Not in Japan but live in India which follows essentially a similar system. In India at least, the short answer is the employer doesn't.

However, every financial institution that deals with you deducts and prepays some taxes on your behalf and also reports the income. So at the end of the year, it shows up in a report which shows tax deposited and you just have to fill in the sum of that income as "other income". This system is good enough that if you are a salaried person with some investments and some tax deductibles like housing loan, tax filing takes about an hour and also normally doesn't have any surprise element of "you owe the taxman X"

It becomes complex only for business owners which is a small minority of the population of any country.

I actually agree that it is what they should have done. OR at least go up to the $1,350 that the regulation stipulates.

However I find it difficult to believe that the Airline (or the flight attendants manager) would have allowed a $5,000 compensation for the seat. Because they had no way of knowing how this was gonna unravel.

You clearly know more about China than I do. My concern (I'm a moderator here) is merely that you share this knowledge in a way that respects the community guidelines. If you read the pages I linked you to, it isn't hard to see how your comment violated the spirit of this site.

Inflammatory comments on divisive topics are destructive of what we care about on HN. So as a topic gets more divisive, comments need to get more civil and substantive.
This idea made more sense when Jobs was leading Apple. He had significant shares in Disney due to his Pixar holdings, and at the time there was cross-board membership between the two companies.

Of course maybe that was a good reason for them never to merge while still coordinating strategically.

> The myth that Republican areas are hostile wastelands with poor quality of life for minorities has much more to do with confirmation bias and a desire to justify high cost of living than anything else, IMO.

If only that were true, I'd move back to the midwest in a heart beat.

Name a "that doesn't happen here" scenario -- from blatant racial discrimination/brutality in policing to "bobby's parents sent him to pray-the-gay-away camp" -- and I experienced or directly witnessed a friend experience it before coming of age.

Whenever people shame me for being overly harsh on midwestern culture, I stop and feel guilty for a split second. Then I think back to these victims of its excesses and the guilt quickly subsides.

I firmly believe there are decent communities in the midwest. Especially in its cities. I don't doubt your or anyone else when you say you've had good experiences.

Unfortunately, that doesn't change anything about the fundamental cultural trade-winds of the aggregate region. Or the effect they have on people caught in the zip code one over.
You've built some sort of just-world hypothesis in your head, where kindness and 'goodness-as-a-person' relates to business success.

Compiling helloworld.c with one floppy and no hard drive on the original PC required one disk for each of the following:
(1) source code, (2) cpp.exe, (3) cc1.exe, (4) cc2.exe, (5) lib manager (can't remember the name - something like "marion"?), (5) and the linker -- I think it was 8 floppy swaps total. It blows my mind that my first HD was 5 MB and cost $800.

Monster Girl Garden: H-Viva Pinata Remake (NSFW)
The article at least claims as much: "And once United in effect told Dao that it was breaching its contract with him and told him to get off, he was probably under a legal duty to comply."
Brilliant example! Though it seems more an example of humans giving a robot the final say, rather than a robot earning the final say based on the merit of its predictions.
It feels kind of embarrassing to admit that despite years of tweaking this stuff to get games to run as a kid, I never actually bothered to find out what the difference between EMS and XMS was. Or even know the basics of how they both worked. "It's just extra memory, right?".

It's bizarre that the computer magazines I read (and obsessively reread) would not have run an article like this.
This sounds a lot like the language Action! (https://sourceforge.net/projects/atari-action/) which was popular on the Atari 8-bit systems. Very C and Pascal-like, but with tweaks to make it work better on the 6502.

> I actually like Delta's solution the best: they ask you when you check in how much you would accept to get bumped. It's fair and efficient.

This is kind of like a recruiter asking you what your current and expected salary is. I wouldn't call it fair and it is only efficient for the airline which can then use that information to bump customers with the lowest thresholds, maximizing producer (the airline) surplus.
Ignore Your Goals and Follow These Steps
The article mentions confusion. That's an understatement. Information was much harder to come by at the time, you had to rely on articles in computer magazines. Also many bugs existed in memory drivers, not to mention interoperability problems, due to programmers not understanding the issues.

This brings back memories, but not particularly good ones.
>With all due respect, I lived in the midwest long enough to have an informed opinion. Maybe our experiences differ, but mine are PERFECTLY well-informed.

It sounds like you lived in one location in the mid west and have taken it upon yourself to assume that's how it must be everywhere. That's not well-informed, it's just an anecdote about a crappy time spent somewhere in the country.
You tell the child that that is a good, but complicated question, and it will take time to give them the full answer. Then you can introduce them to the pieces as they can understand them, and as you have time.

An Arduino is just a micro controller with a standard set of pinouts for easy access to peripherals. You don't have to use the IDE and high level programming language. At least for the AVR based ones you can write pure C or assembly, build it with the AVR tool chain, and upload and run it natively. I'm sure you can with ARM or Intel based Arduino clones too.
He is "trespassing" only when he's not legally allowed to be on the plane. He gained the right to be on the plane by paying United for the privilege, and United agreed by issuing him a ticket, a boarding pass and reserving a seat for him.

Now, if they want to renege from their part of the agreement, they have to refund him the money. Just 'promising' to refund the money is not sufficient; if he wants, he must get the cash in hand. After all, United issued a ticket only when they had the cash in hand, right? Why should he be obligated to relinquish his half of the contract just based on a promise to pay later?
Screaming and bleeding, don't forget. You didn't answer his comment though, why didn't they offer more money?

Where is your compassion?
The creation of that which is novel is another allure.
"Probably" is not how laws work.
I find that it neatly fits the thesis; "King of the Hill" is a delightful satire of the inhabitants of a sleepy Texas town, and it's clearly influenced by Judge's time in Texas the same way that "Silicon Valley" was influenced by his time in the Bay, and Judge himself has confirmed this.

I think that it makes coastal city folk uncomfortable to talk about and celebrate KotH because satirizing urban Texan values, beliefs, and practices is self-seen as aggrandizing city-slicker behavior.
> An unrealized change in the stock price doesn't really mean anything

I think we all understood that already. It's merely comparing, and accentuating, the market cap loss vs. options that would have been less costly, even if those losses aren't "real".

To that endeavor, putting these employees on a rocket ship, launching them into space, docking with the ISS, then finally returning sometime later... just for fun... all would have "hurt" less than trying to evict customers from their seats in this case.
>but REQUIRES that United do so.

It doesn't require that United call police to remove someone after they hit some arbitrary price limit.

>He didn't "stand up" -- he ran back onto a flight, screaming, after he didn't get his way. Sorry, but he needs to go to jail for disrupting his flight and the flight downstream that didn't have a flight crew because of his antics.

Good. He should inflict as much pain on the corporate beauracracy as possible. He should make everyone involved in this situation pissed off and then he should remind them that this is United's fuckup, not his. I also hope he takes as many millions as he can get out of United's pocketbook, especially considering their CEO's immediate response.
> they ask you when you check in how much you would accept to get bumped

I don't like the sound of that much - how many people actually know or are prepared to think straight about how much money they would accept to get bumped when they're checking in?

I'd rather the system be that, if they need to bump someone, they start with a public offer of a modest amount, then keep increasing it until either somebody accepts or it gets so high that it's cheaper to do something else.

This isn't even close to an Apples-to-Apples comparison. You should at least include Clay, Lafayette, Johnson if you're going to look at the entire Bay area.

If we want to approach a topic "How to detect/avoid B/o" in a scientific manner, we should begin with a definition of what that condition is and what it is caused by.

It's been some years since I investigated on that topic, but I remember there are basically two paradigms:

A) Blame the guy/dev/employee
B) Blame the company/environment/manager

Depending on your point of view, you may want to settle somewhere in between these two extremes. I find "The truth about burnout" by Maslach/Leiter in my bookshelf, who where the first ones doing a proper scientific analysis. They pretty much end up with paradigm B. As a dev, I liked that.
I disagree. Working on a large software project with many programmers, it is very useful to see what other programmers intend (or just hope) to change, even if it is just to get more of a glimpse in to the intention of the dev.

I find the usefulness/annoying ratio to be very high.
