I'm a college student in Silicon Valley who's originally from downtown Chicago.
When I moved here it was not the place I expected. Maybe SF is different or Palo Alto but where I am I just see regular families who are struggling to come to terms with how their communities have changed since the 70s. It's not all negative in my experience; many of them are quite proud of the tech companies. But it hurts to see so many people struggling. I saw it in Chicago, but what I see in San Jose is so much worse. I love this Valley but I just wish companies worked a little harder with local governments to brainstorm solutions. It's really unfortunate.
So politcal correct code is mandatory. Oh boy.
So if turing himself would appear at your doorstep and his code examples would be riddle with gay insider jokes and wordplay, you wouldnt hire him? Because, profesional behaviour beets a mind that recombines and is flexible any day?
Good thing that relationship is bi-directional- unconventional creative guys are not searching for a job at your company.
Not viable in the US, as others have pointed out.

What we've got are Google Wallet, checks, and a variety of smaller services (Venmo, etc).
Why don't people just use redis' sds (https://github.com/antirez/sds) string library instead of using str* functions? It's much safer and much higher level.
I know you didn't intend that as legal advice, but I sure hope that you are correct nonetheless. From the article:

> It’s also worth noting that in agreeing to the company’s T&Cs Tinder users grant it a “worldwide, transferable, sub-licensable, royalty-free, right and license to host, store, use, copy, display, reproduce, adapt, edit, publish, modify and distribute” their content — though it’s less clear whether that would apply in this case where a third-party developer is scraping Tinder data and releasing it under a public domain license.
Thumbs up for the charging stations. But How does the customer benefit from the blockchain payment again?
Google Wallet is significantly lower friction than writing out and mobile-depositing a check, at least in my experience.
> This is clearly a trend

More like a virus.
It’s easy to gather some sense of what seems like “good material” or “bad material”, and easy to imagine solutions that try to block what enough people consider bad. And yet, this is not what should happen all. It is too simple, and it hides the real problem.

People need to have critical thinking skills, about everything. “How could this be misleading?” is a valuable question to be able to ask in life, whether it is about news or the latest TV commercial or something else. It is certainly useful in capitalist systems; for instance, when being sold something and an advertisement boasts “up to 40%!”, that kind of verbiage should always raise questions like: “how often will this be 0% or even negative, values which are also in that range?”. This kind of thing is used very frequently in advertising alone but certainly in news and even in discussions with other people. Wording is crucial, comprehension is crucial. If you ever suspect you do not really understand what you see, you need to take it as a cue to educate yourself.

Echo chambers, or silos or whatever you want to call them, should also be recognized. Skills need to be practiced, and you cannot practice critical thinking if you are surrounded by agreement all the time. This can be a hard sell because you can certainly feel a lot happier when not encountering things that challenge your views but that is not how an intellectual discussion works; you need to at least accept the possibility that even your long-held beliefs are not exactly right.

It is dangerous for suppression tools to exist for news or anything else because, like so many things in security technology, something that’s possible to do can eventually be abused by anyone. Claims that “only the good guys will be able to use this” are not relevant to the discussion. At some point in this case, there will be someone capable of masking something that he or she personally does not like, and “propaganda” will have nothing to do with the mechanism by which the material is hidden.

In any scientific endeavor, you can never universally support results; you always need to know what was considered to understand if the results make sense within those parameters. And this applies to any source of information. Even in heated political discussions, it is way easier to understand why somebody may hold a view that you consider strange if you can figure out exactly what they have and haven’t heard about.
my bad, can't read
This rule always struck me as a bit fundamentally blind to and micro-managing of human interaction. Why would someone ever feign surprise? I feel like I rarely feel the need to feign emotions and surprise have never been one of them.
I'd love to see an `--with-alt-js` flag where I can put values like "reason" or "purescript". :)
Banks will often let you transfer between accounts you control for free. But it usually requires pre-validating control with some random-number-of-cent deposits (which take 3 business days, because ACH sucks).

Not something you can just use to pay a stranger.
Ethereum is an autonomous AI middleman, but yes it is a middleman. One whose plans and actions you can determine determinalistically.

> Cash is King

The value of cash is subject to the whims of the issuer. The value of a cryptocurrency is subject to the whims of a global market.

They can also be trivially "forked" by creating colored coins which allow you to create a slightly different autonomous AI currency, if the mainline one doesn't do what you need it to. This is the sense in which they are distributed. You can create a new autonomous authority for an arbitrarily small fee, from anywhere in the world.
It isn't the 'fast' lane. It is the overtaking lane. Slow and lazy drivers are an absolute scourge on motorways in the UK. The French seem to get by okay with two lanes, the Brits can't manage with three. People in France move over when they are done overtaking. It works much better that way. Nobody has to speed really.
What is Ethereum? Something like Bitcoin?

I'm glad somebody else noticed the incorrect use of `feign.`

If anything, if one feigns surprise, they are acting in bad faith. I agree with the title of the article -- don't feign surprise, e.g. if somebody gives you a gift you knew was coming and pretend you're baffled by its appearance -- but do show surprise when someone you know who is intelligent is missing a small puzzle piece in their knowledge space.

Not in a belligerent way, of course, as the author points out: use it as an opportunity to educate. I ain't about to berate a friend of mine for not knowing something, but it would be quite disingenuous to hide my surprise; in my eyes, that's comparable to talking down to them.
Have you ever wanted to run out of permgen really really effectively? Have you ever wanted to run a bunch of stuff inside of a single jvm and have an even harder time than normal ensuring that all of your apps are actually up and running? Do you like re-inventing wheels with concepts that were dated and overly complex five years ago? OSGI!

OSGi was yet another bad architecture tacked onto java for no real benefit that over-promised, under-delivered, and wasn't even a good fit for the technology at the time.

My OSGi experience comes from Day Software if that was an outlier then maybe I was just burned by them.
No, they stand by the wall because it's anxiety-inducing to throw themselves into the thick of things. They want to be approached, just not surrounded. At least, that was how I always felt, before I started forcing myself to drift and mingle more.

There's the fear of not being able to keep going with smalltalk and such, but also the conflicting desire for interaction.
This is pretty good.
> In the US, e-deposit of checks is a passable option to avoid fees.

My bank (credit union) charges a $2 fee for each check I write, regardless of how or where it's deposited. Yes, it's cheaper than a bank transfer, but checks still aren't fee-free for everyone.
I don't trust Ethereum. Who's behind it? Are there any backdoors? Why not Bitcoin?
Feigned reflexive behavior? That's some sociopathic shit.

> Such behaviours have strong roots in childhood and often a rational adult who has it brought to their attention will easily be able to never do it again

lol! no.

I do agree that this rule is encouraging people to be ever-self-conscious and overrule their social reflexes and would be more accurately called "repress surprise".
They have a limit on the amount you can spend overall with any particular credit card without a PayPal account. I want to say it's $2500 or somewhere around there. I ran into this problem a while back and it took some research to figure out why my card with funds was being declined.

Why not rent a car when you want to go on trips outside of urban areas? Seems far cheaper if you can actually get away without a care in the city.
Or because they like themselves and everyone else, but initiating and keeping up an interaction is so draining that they're discouraged from trying.
I really like the name so I clicked the link. Somewhere on that you still have flash running? (Hans, get the Firewerfer!)
He did not commit financial fraud. He might have broken a TOS, but bringing up financial fraud is just silly.

Honestly, in many jurisdictions (except for the punishment happy ones) being under certain age, ie. 18 or 17 automatically makes you non-persecutable for a lot of the "soft" offenses. So even if you tried to claim opening a PayPal account is a financial fraud, it would likely never stand up in court.
You can go whole hog with "containers" by just adopting unikernels.

But, unless you are willing to abandon Linux/Unix, this is kinda where you are left.
The Millionaire Next Door isn't about the elite, it's about responsible late-career middle class families who have followed entirely standard middle class practices like going to college, saving for their children's college funds, owning their primary residences, and saving ~15% for retirement every year.

A family at median household income ($51k) that mortgaged a median-priced home ($180k) and saved 15% for retirement starting from age 25 will have $856k in a 401k and the better part of their house's value in home equity around age ~57.

If they don't at least have the 401k balance, they're going to be in serious trouble before before they're dead (unless Social Security is still around).

The Millionaire Next Door describes the minimum behavior required to avoid falling out of the middle class over a lifetime.

It's about the kind of people who might buy tickets to the symphony once or twice in a lifetime. Not the kind of people who attend its fundraiser galas. 40%-ers, not 1%-ers.
What I find strange about your argument is that "a feigner of surprise immediately afterwards they might be genuinely unable to say truthfully if they were really surprised or just reacted with surprise to satisfy an inner desire", implies that you don't believe you can know whether others are feigning surprise or even really yourself!

The best argument you have, from your experience, is that you often feign surprise, which I find a bit damning, if you then ascribe that behavior to others. I can't remember feigning surprise, but I definitely remember being horrified at being forced to argue about something rather elementary. If it doesn't affect me directly, I'm more likely to simply ignore the person's argument and go my way.

edit: to be clear I get no satisfaction in seeing other people make obvious mistakes... it's almost physically painful.
The thing I get from this article is that, after a plant has been cost cut until total inefficiency, the thing to do is ask your managers what was taken from them to do their job normally, and giving it to them. Afterwards, you take the credit by claiming it all came down to two simple words: impossible unless...

The United States is the #2 top source of cyber attacks, accounting for about 10% of all malicious traffic in the world and with 17.12% of cyber attacks initiated from there.

What you need to look at is how much of the traffic that hits your servers specifically is malicious relative to the amount of traffic that is bringing you revenue. Then you decide what countries to block.
I work on the tech side of imfluencer marketing and am available to answer most questions through email. No bs or strings.

Keep in mind that no product or budget is too small for influencer marketing!
Not that I know of. But in the end I found a much better and faster solution so in a way that constraint only pushed creativity.

Are you mad, or are you posting from the wrong century?
I belong to some of the services listed, including ASW and BOAW and haven't logged on in forever because they're boring. Despite all the hype, these services are ultimately no different from other social clubs and most people have sufficient avenues for socializing with and keeping in touch with people on diverse bases (interest/activity, work, school, family, etc).

They proclaim exclusivity but are often trying to grow their user base (including stealth advertising via article mentions/placement) and monetize. When they focus on the latter is when they realize that their service isn't that useful because their members clearly aren't interested in paying. Exclusivity or not, a network is useless without X critical mass of users and Y minimum activity level.
Intro to React #2 set React component and the virtual DOM
Incredible.

Here I was expecting another small project and instead this post delivers in spades. Awesome to see svd2rust, there's definitely a couple edge cases(global #define) that bindgen doesn't quite cleanly handle yet and that's a clean solution to it.

It's not mentioned here, but when Recurse Center explains this rule to recursers, it's explicitly discussed that despite the name, it doesn't actually matter if you're actually surprised, it's still a "violation" of the rule to express that surprise in the particular terms of "I can't beleive you don't know about x!". However, violations of the rules are not a "big deal" that you are made to feel terrible about either, it is more a vocabulary for telling you in turn that you made a misstep with your reaction, and let's move on.

Julia talks about it in your quote above, but she says not to "act surprised", but she doesn't mean act as in fake, or feign, she means the action of expressing surprise. Another good reference is xkcd[0]. The point is not whether you're surprised, but the chilling effect that the judgment that someone should have already known this thing can have on their confidence, willingness to admit to not knowing things, and to the social dynamic of interacting with you.

IANAL, but my understanding of contract law is that consideration is required:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Consideration

https://nationalparalegal.edu/public_documents/courseware_as...

"The idea of consideration is vital to contract law because, in order for a contract to be enforceable, there must be “mutuality of obligation.” In other words, in order for a contract to be valid, both parties to the contract must be required to perform under the contract. Consideration, which represents the commitment that the parties to the contract make to each other, is at the heart of the “mutuality of obligation” rule and, therefore, without consideration, a contract will not be enforceable."
That's very helpful. Thanks!

I was assuming that at minimum I'd need to do a lot of filtering in order to get the camera images and renders into a state where they are similar enough to work for training.

Any chance that you'll be releasing source code for this project and/or your labeled dataset?
This problem is every bit as much a political and cultural problem as it is a technological one. So I largely agree.

But from a technological perspective, even if 2016 is the high water mark of the "centralized" internet, a new internet is forming. That which you lament is the natural result of a centralized system. It's something that the early creators of the internet have warned about since its inception. But now as the incumbents centralize control, a new generation of technologists (helped by many of those early creators) are constructing the underpinnings of "Web 3.0", a decentralized internet built on Ethereum, IPFS, WebTorrent, BigchainDB, SOLID et al.

There is plenty left to do, it is still a newborn child... nobody knows where this goes. But come 2030, I agree we'll look back on 2016 as the high water mark of the centralized internet. But instead of longing for how things were in the 1990s and 2000s, we'll say "good riddance".

All that said, the battle needs to happen on the political front at the same time, which makes EFF, FFTF, and ACLU so important.
transferwise is a pretty cheap option for sending money between different countries.
The controversy was actually by the great statistician/geneticist R.A. Fisher in the 1930s -- and the criticism was that Mendel's experimental results were too close to his theoretical results, not that Mendel was an "outsider". It wasn't necessarily conscious fraud on Mendel's part, but once you see a pattern it is easy to discard "bad data" that doesn't fit it. That's why modern experimentalists tend to "blind" groups during the data collection phase.
Yeah I used to be a member there too, was an amazing community. Jaron Lanier used to hang out there plus a bunch of other cool people.

It had a very interesting commenting system which was non threaded. Instead you referenced the number of the post you were responding to.

It gave some very interesting dynamics in the conversation, something I have never experienced since and I have often thought about doing some exploration around the non-threaded discussion forum.
The thing you're quoting doesn't misuse 'feign' and the rule she's referring to in her post is talking about feigning.
Now I feel bad for doing this exact thing with Tinder to create a data-set for determining age based on facial features...

At least I didn't publicize it after and removed it when I was done
Why would you submit this to HN?
Once the films are recorded digitally, how is any of this specific to film?
Nope. All it tell you is that it has been tried and it works for whoever is in power. Any kind of oppression that works, can therefore be justified this way, including slavery and genocide.

Just because something works, does not mean it is good to do. And in fact, having seen the undesirable effects of a practice may provide all the reason need for discontinuing it in favor of an untried practice.

You are simply arguing against the development of society.
This is unfortunately so true.
I am waiting for the model 3 even though it might mean losing the sizeable German government subsidy, because the i3 is such an eyesore.
BMW, if you're listening, stop being afraid of cannibalizing your petrol car sales and make a decent looking EV in the i3 price segment, because this just made you lose a sale to Tesla, and I'm far from alone here.
Unless the reason is that the i3 is just a compliance car and you lose money making one, in which case, get your act together because it's 2017 and you risk doing a RIM vs Apple.

I find nontransitive dice to be a clear demonstration of the effects of premature rounding. The nontransitivity is only possible because, after each iteration, the result is rounded to a victory for one die. If the totals were summed over time, they could clearly be ranked by expected value.

You can see this result in other places, also. It's especially visible in sports, for example, or in the stock market.
Isn't Venmo now owned by PayPal?

Edit: Yes
I agree. In fact I realized how good a community HN is when I did a Ask HN a while back. I even ended up writing an essay about it:

Compared to the responses at Reddit, Quora and other places the diversity of HN is astounding.
Well I don't think people have as much "clean" access to their own behaviour and thoughts, as is generally thought. By thinking about our thoughts, we alter them. So that's why no-one can be crystal clear about their own motivations.

I don't confess to feigning surprise in my comment. I believe it is very common, purely from observation of others - especially children and young adults.
Oh, whoops! hadn't finished to see she already included the XKCD in the post!
The recurse center seems like an unpleasant and pedantic place, but I guess to each one's own. Their documentation seems to assume that impostor syndrome is a bad thing because it feels bad, I don't think things are that clear-cut in life.

I just don't see why organizations feel like anything is helped by attempting to police social behaviour.
BTW: Where Trump went wrong is that he should have proposed a 0% corporate rate, combine with treating dividend/capital gains as ordinary income and subjected to payroll taxes. Then there is no gaming of the rates, and a far simpler, progressive, and lower cost system.

You want to reinvest profits back into the business? Great, no taxes. You want to dividend out to have spending money? Great, you pay taxes.

Lets not forget that because of double (quadruple?) taxation the average tax rate on distributed C corp profits is in excess of 50%. 35% federal corporate rate, + 5-10% state corporate rate, + 15-20% federal dividend rate, + 0-13% state dividend rates. For a wealthy person in California who is an investor in a C corp, they'll pay about 60% in taxes on every dollar of profit dividended to them.

Worse is that a poor retiree receiving dividends from her stocks in CA will still pay at least 40%, even if the company pays no state income tax on it's profits.
Last i checked the android app refuses to run on hardware without nfc, even for the features that don't require it. Maybe it's an option if you have the right phone, or if it lets you do payments on desktop. (haven't tried the latter)
Hacker News can be elitist, but I think it's more niche than elite. No site with an open membership policy can really be considered elite.
How does this project compare to nekovm? Sounds very similar.
