1) You're somewhat right; 'displayed capability' would likely be better.

2) It doesn't have to be perfectly or flawlessly measurable to be worth measuring and net a positive result.

3) There's definitely more measurable, tested validity behind typical 'meritocratic' factors used by employers for recruiting than there is for diversity. For example, does the average Stanford student vs NYU student have less differentiation than a Black vs White Stanford student?

You're arguing against the 'measurability' and 'increased chance of success' of these factors (education, work experience) in favor of race or gender or sexual orientation.

If you truly want diversity, you'd find much more of it from ten individuals of the same race who all originated from different countries with different cultures. The difference between Americans of different races, by comparison, is much, much smaller.
This was actually one of the reasons I ended up getting the Reserve card - it includes primary car rental insurance for no extra fee.
Ah, very fair point. Apologies for the tunnel vision :)
The poor piano roll is the main thing that keeps me from committing to Reason too. There are so many things I really love about Reason but the piano roll seems to have been frozen in time a decade ago.

AdNauseum spams clicks to ad servers, which is likely why it was blocked from Chrome.

There seems to be such a strong consensus in slow to operate radial knobs. The most frustrating parts are when the knob goes from say 1-100 but the range of say 1-5 is the one of interest.

Instead of allowing me to set my own range and instead of making an interface where choosing a value works with common input interfaces we get tricked out, 32-bit radial controls that fail with regard to any operative goal on their use.

Show HN: Automated Ten Language Translations via Google Translate
Simple Planner is written in Yii a PHP Framework.

In 2015 (just prior to my brain surgery), I wrote how to use Google Translator to automate translation of your Yii App:

I had forgotten about writing that. But, I remembered, and almost instantly, most of my app was fully translated in 10 languages.
You'd actually be surprised how often things like this get "rediscovered", even in academia. After all, we humans are forgetful creatures.
I am bullish on Nintendo and considering adding a position via over the counter (ADR) NTDOY. My concern is that they continue to have supply issues unable to ramp up production to meet demand. Perhaps this is intentional.

My friend just got a Switch and absolutely loves it. He has been playing Zelda nearly non-stop since he got it.

The goal is not to be inclusive of everyone that is subjectively regarded as being deserving of recognition. The goal is specifically to celebrate Bob Taylor. Nothing more and nothing less. It is a subjective decision - one which you have no control over - as are many aspects of HN. I applaud HN for continuing with the black bar; the lack of someone getting that bar does not devalue their contribution in any manner.
Uber and Google/Waymo do it in Phoenix quite a bit. The roads are perfect for first iteration/testing, mostly 1 mile squares and less intense. I see many Waymo and Ubers on the road here.
It sounds like it may have been awhile since you've interviewed. The modern "good" interview is all data structure and algorithm white boarding nonsense. For me, who is not a competitive programmer, the standard interview prep is spending a couple of hours on Hacker Rank every day and making sure I can delete a node in a binary tree on a white board without so much a missing semicolon. For some reason that signals "good developer" more than a catalog of work on github, big name companies, or experience in general.
Another hackingtosh user here. There are various glitches sometimes. For example, my displays down turn on after waking up from sleep.

Also, I still haven't upgraded to Sierra, since the process is a bit more delicate than with regular macs.

All things considered, it's totally worth it for me.
The unit of “hypervolume” is a hypercube. If you used a simplex as your unit instead, you’d have the hypervolume of a unit n-sphere go to infinity as n goes to infinity.
There's a few different levels to those forms of UI design.

On one end is the skeumorphic approach with interfaces that directly resemble audio hardware. At the other end is total flexibility only achieved using path markers / bands. Product designers often choose one of these extremes to maximize approachability or flexibility.
Yes, but --

The counter argument is that businesses should be expected to conduct their business such that they do not need to call on the police to use force. Especially if, by escalating to police, they are effectively avoiding the inherent costs of doing business.

In this case, they could have offered another $1,000 apiece to get those last two volunteers, but there's no need to do that when you can just call the cops to drag passengers off the plane at no cost.

Likewise, Wal-Mart has been widely criticized for not taking any steps to manage or problem-solve any issues in their stores, instead just relying on calls to police.
My son's Windows 10 Gaming PC had problems reading USB devices on some ports (His mouse and keyboard are USB based) but a USB thumb drive and WD Passport could not connect and we tried all of those things on the website linked here.

I changed my Windows 10 back to Windows 7 due to Windows 10 breaking some software I need. When I tried to plug the devices back into my Windows 7 PC I got the error it can't find the driver or read the USB device. The USB Thumb Drive got very hot and I had to unplug it, fearing it might start a fire. My WD Passport was the same way, can't access it and all the files I backed up to it are lost.

I'm not sure if my Son's PC had some sort of virus that infects USB devices, or an electrical problem on some USB ports? I don't want to keep trying different USB devices to figure out what is wrong with it.

Measures of Complexity: A non-exhaustive list (2001) [pdf]
Due to some historical quirks, the ADA doesn't actually apply to airlines the way you're expecting it to. There is federal law which applies, it's just not the ADA.

The basic history here is:

* In 1973 Congress passed the Rehabilitation Act. This is an ADA-like law which applies to federal agencies, contractors and some entities which receive federal funding.

* In 1986, the Supreme Court ruled that the manner in which airlines benefit from federal funding is too indirect to cause them to be covered under the Rehabilitation Act.

* In response, Congress passed the Air Carrier Access Act, which applied Rehabilitation-Act-type standards to airlines.

* Later on in 1990, Congress passed the Americans with Disabilities Act, which went further in which types of entities it applied to.

The result is that for something that happens to you at an airport, you need someone familiar with the above laws to figure out which one applies to the particular people or entities who caused your problem. If it's the TSA or the airport itself, you use the Rehabilitation Act; if it's the airline, it's the Air Carrier Access Act; if it's someone else you probably use the ADA.

This is why, for example, this guy is working to slowly crack open the TSA using the Rehabilitation Act instead of the ADA, since the ADA isn't the law that applies to the TSA:

If I was Apple I would just buy Tesla. Problem solved.
They can't but very few people would use it if it is (a) illegal and (b) some weird geek thing, so it would not have much cultural or economic impact.

Yeah, and if they're in the terminal you frequent too >.< At SFO, only T-I/T-3 (where the Centurion is) and T1-/T2 are connected airside. That said, I used to route everywhere via DFW so I could break the journey up and chill at the D17 lounge.
So far, the Priority Pass card I got with my CSR has been completely useless. In San Francisco I was refused entry at the partner lounge because it was at capacity and Priority Pass holders are clearly the lowest concern; at the Reykjavik stopover there was no partner lounge at all; and in Paris the lounge was a 10 minute walk + 1 security checkpoint away from my gate.
Apple's software would be a huge improvement over what traditional automakers produce. See Toyota's pile of spaghetti topped with 10,000 global variables, Jeep's "remotely disable brakes through the entertainment unit", etc. Meanwhile iOS, while not perfect, still has the best security architecture of any mobile platform.

It sounds like you have a beef with Apple, but frankly, I want my automaker to be overly cautious with 3rd party apps. Can you imagine the Android model applied to self driving cars?
And in typical PC hardware fashion, switching to/from this A20 compatibility mode was handled by the keyboard controller. What in the world? Turns out that the 8042 chip that handled the keyboard had an unused pin which could be "borrowed" to implement the "A20 gate" latch...
Ask HN: Learn in weekend, what resources you suggest?
I am full time developer so it is hard for me to keep learning everyday except weekend days. But, that does not mean I do not want to learn other things.

So, what are the topics that you suggest to learn in weekend ( Saturday and Sunday - Full day )? It would be also good if you suggest resources as well.

In an ad-free world, only the affluent members of society would pay for access to intelligent journalism. The rest of society would be a mixture of information-starved, and fed information by special interest groups that provide content more cheaply than the paywalls.

EDIT: Just to be clear, my own opinion is that online advertising is a horrifically ugly, cynical blight on the human experience, which causes huge amounts of unintelligent visual content to be put in front of billions of human brains. But an ad-free future is hugely problematic for the maintenance of a well-informed society, and we have seen where a dumb electorate gets us.
what about cellphones? Laptops? GPS?

You can't just pick two things. Being thorough here is hard.
I'm working on something you may be interested in.

This is a way to simultaneously interface multiple linear controls without having to point and click or even look at the screen. Some of this was inspired by Englebarts key cord in his 1968 demo and keyboard based Raskin style quasi modes as described in the Humane Interface.

Go to http://9ol.es/input.html on a desktop.

Hold down any combination of the 1, 2, 3, and 4 keys on the keyboard with one hand.

With the other hand, move the mouse either up or down.

You will see that by pressing down the key, you've selected one or more sets of the numbers, indicated by them turning bold.

Then the mouse moving will affect only the selected "controls".

This cognitively frees the user from the task switching of engaging with the interface while composing.

It also detaches the layout on the screen from the interfacing of the computer and presents a new generic paradigm of using the computer.

There's an additional demo I have that changes the background color to indicate a mode so that a bank of keys can be assigned to setting traditional modes on top of the quasi modal interface.

The objective is to have a system that can be modified quickly and simultaneously with minimal active cognition that distracts one from the artistic task.

Easy to use and easy to learn are distinct things. Usually the latter is done at the expense of the former.

In the long term, I am making this a virtual midi device that can be interfaced into any music software that accepts midi devices.
Shell archive is self extracting, though not on the desired OS :)
Having taken a look at a Switch, I'm a bit surprised that a brand new portable console has such a low resolution screen. If Nintendo is trying to compete with mobile phone gaming, wouldn't it be logical that they offer a better screen (or at the very least comparable with a mid-end phone)?
I found the churner.
I find it very irresponsible that NSA did not report these vulnerabilities to Microsoft after they had fallen into hands of shadow broker (no longer zeroday). Shadowbroker announced possession of these zerodays around 3 months ago. NSA had good 3 months to work with Microsoft to patch these. They chose not to.

Your reasoning is excellent. The only problem is that Apple doesn't have sufficient drive, talent, or reputation, in the auto industry to actually make and sell a good car.

No employee wants to leave Tesla to work at Apple. No consumer wants to buy a car made by Apple. Hopefully Tim and the gang won't blow through too much money before they accept that.

They're pretty good at making phones and computers. They might want to focus on keeping that reputation in the meantime.

The image of "shipping phones off to be built by other people in China" could not be farther from the truth.

Not only does Apple plan every build in extreme detail (stations, tests, flow, etc), they send an army of PMs, EPMs, engineers, etc. to oversee each build in person. They have to.

Apple's manufacturing and operations expertise is enormous. It's a competitive advantage on the same scale as, say, Google's data center expertise.
A card itself is a commodity item. Why is it tied to the credit agreement? Why does this factor in at all? Why can you not make your own card + register the key of the chip inside the card with the credit provider?
Maybe it depends on how the milk was processed or not rather than the milk itself? I also have health issues with milk, yet find yoghurt and milk based products just fine.

Yes, Anatol Rapaport's rules are very useful for constructive debate.

https://www.brainpickings.org/2014/03/28/daniel-dennett-rapo...

How to compose a successful critical commentary:

1. You should attempt to re-express your target’s position so clearly, vividly, and fairly that your target says, “Thanks, I wish I’d thought of putting it that way.

2. You should list any points of agreement (especially if they are not matters of general or widespread agreement).

3. You should mention anything you have learned from your target.

4. Only then are you permitted to say so much as a word of rebuttal or criticism.

> Doing batch commits (fsyncs) to the WAL every few MS means you can keep your throughput very close to an async thoughput without trading any persistence.

This is what I said. There's still a lag, regardless of disk speed, batching, append-only parallel writes, etc. It's physics.

MemSQL and VoltDB and other in-memory db with persistence do it the same. Not much of an issue these days with distributed systems anyway since the network is faster and the data is already on another node.

You could say the same thing about people who pirate Adobe software as teenagers/young adults. If they're using the software all the time they're likely to get good enough with it that they'll want to make a job or a business out of it. At that point they become a customer. If Adobe software were somehow impossible to pirate then maybe they would've used and learned with an alternative.
Hi, I am Rocky Sharma, founder of ducument.com site.

I am looking for FEEDBACK for "ducument.com", which i created couple of days back.

Purpose of ducument.com

1. Ease of NDA signing online.
2. Password protection to documents.
3. Making money with documents by setting the price.

It was for people including me, where if i had to share some IDEA or proposal to many people i don't have to create word-document and share with asking to sign NDA before and than re-sending original document after their sign.

Also due to rise in too much of virus or malware binding with docs file always intrigue me to create product where there is no such fear of getting infected.

I created this product so that freelancer or any people who shares document day-day can found it useful.

Let me know, what do you think about this product.

Thanks
Could you explain more about 4D rotation? In my understanding, a rotation is a transform by an orthogonal matrix with determinant equal to 1. For the 4D rotations to be not composable the product of two 4x4 orthogonal matrices should not be an orthogonal matrix. Is this really true?

I used to work as a technician getting DOS/Windows 3.X and OS/2 2.X systems working. There was a program I used to identify expansion cards and get the ID number off of them. It could detect memory size as well, but that doesn't work in modern systems anymore.

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gconf/

Had a VP with a WANG PC that used Microchannel, he needed Netware, AS/400, and the Wal-Mart client going at the same time and not cut into his 640K of DOS memory.

There was a trick to it. First using card IDs I found the option floppies for his expansion cards from CompUServe (As The Internet/WWW was in infancy and our employer paid for CompUServe to research things) and I re-arranged the expansion card memory to leave a 64K area that was not used that DOS could load drivers into it to free up the main 640K memory. At the time Netware and AS/400 used DOS drivers, while OS/2 had OS/2 drivers that could access the memory beyond it. This was before Windows 95 (It was in beta test at the time).

I had upgraded the VP to MS-DOS 6.22 used loadhigh and memmaker and other things and managed to get all three networks working with most of the 640K area free. No other tech had done things like that before.

I studied programming in college, but this gconf tool I wrote had helped me out a lot. I wrote it in college and then modified it to be named whichnet so that it could read Arcnet or Starnet network cards and use the correct Netware driver for DOS on a boot floppy disk. Either by using the expansion card ID to detect the right card or by reading ROM memory and look for patterns or a signature. It had worked 99% of the time, and in the 1% it had failed and I never learned why, but worked af\ter a reboot or shutdown and power up.

I wrote this HexStrip or HStrip to extract ASCII data out of Word Perfect or other files that got corrupt and could no longer be read. It is also good for scanning EXE and COM files in DOS to see if there is a virus that stores ASCII text when it infects without running the EXE or COM. I used it in Tradewars 2002 with the trader.dat to pull out all of his advice for playing the game in it. https://sourceforge.net/projects/hstrip/

I had bought QEMM which helped as well, until the Windows 9X and Windows NT OS models put them out of business and Symantec bought out Quarterdeck and other companies.

Also, I think B000:0000 to B700:0000 was the monochrome memory that could be used to load things into it as well if you never used it. I used to write DOS memory maps, until DOS came with MSD.exe that could show used and unused memory maps. Intel 8086/8088 had 640K of RAM, and 384K of reserved memory, that some of it can be used by EMS for paging to load things into it to free up the 640K.
I think I could say the same thing about the Chase Freedom CC with quarterly rolling 5% bonus categories.
