From personal experience I'd say it can relate to mental illnesses caused by trauma, hostile environments, etc.

Getting over trauma and other emotional baggage has resulted in large improvements in sustained focus, lower inhibitions, and general cognitive improvements for me and I'm well past the age of 25.

In addressing the question of 97% consensus of blah (where blah varies)..., and not the paper specifically, this article provides a good summary of the quality of this figure: http://www.nationalreview.com/article/425232/climate-change-...

The “97 percent” statistic first appeared prominently in a 2009 study by University of Illinois master’s student Kendall Zimmerman and her adviser, Peter Doran. Based on a two-question online survey, Zimmerman and Doran concluded that “the debate on the authenticity of global warming and the role played by human activity is largely nonexistent among those who understand the nuances and scientific bases of long-term climate processes” — even though only 5 percent of respondents, or about 160 scientists, were climate scientists. In fact, the “97 percent” statistic was drawn from an even smaller subset: the 79 respondents who were both self-reported climate scientists and had “published more than 50% of their recent peer-reviewed papers on the subject of climate change.” These 77 scientists agreed that global temperatures had generally risen since 1800, and that human activity is a “significant contributing factor.”

Using sexualized language can create an environment that is unduly hostile to women, even if this is not intended. Many of the biases against women that such language provokes are totally unconscious, so even if the intent is not harmful, it can be bad regardless.

Excellent advice.

At the end of my first semester at university, my Calc I professor pulled me aside after class for a chat. We talked about a bunch of things, but one piece of advice in particular stuck with me.

He said: "You are lucky to be so privileged - to study at a university for free, to have a supportive family, and to be such a smart and capable student - but you are also quite unlucky. Unlike other less privileged students around the world, you need to create your own drive. Without motivation, you'll have a tough time overcoming the inevitable difficulties you'll face in the future."

So that's what I ended up doing. Firstly, I started to imagine myself being from a much less fortunate background, and therefore treated my studies as a matter of utmost importance. And secondly, I put a target in my mind for what kind of person I want to be in the far future. I visualized this in quite a bit of detail, sometimes even imagining myself being interviewed! (weird, I know)

A little over 5 years later, I'm in a top 10 PhD program in my field. I'm still not certain this is what I want to do for the next 4 years, but I think I'm on top of it for now. Worst case scenario is I drop out with a MS and enter the workforce. Still, I'm immensely thankful that I have the option to think about this. Many people don't.
Well, that's disturbing. I bet we'll see much more of this in the coming days.

Centennial apps aren't really "sandboxed" in the sense that modern apps are - they use the same declarative installer format, but once the app is running it runs as the user with full trust and can party on the user's files and other apps etc. The filesystem and registry virtualization/redirection is for compatibility with the redirection the installer does and helps against accidental damage, but it's not a security feature.

> cost was supposed to be a new premium roof (just the roof, no solar panels)

That makes very little sense. You're making an apples to oranges comparison here. It would be absolutely impossible to pull that off. It's literally the premium roof + solar and you want it to be the same price as premium roof (thus, you want the solar hardware to cost nothing.

Only one of these generates electricity, thus saving you money and that must be included in the cost calculation in order to determine the actual cost.
Ah, I think I see where you are confused -- your arguments seem to make more sense when dealing with a single, local database. The idea here is that you want to achieve atomicity, but you need to do it across multiple distributed databases and you want to have a system who's components have exactly the same time in order to ensure consistence across each database.

Attempting to extend the landlord example... let's say that I'm your landlord and you have to pay me £1000 each month. You send the bank a message telling the to pay me the money. The bank may make several copies of that message and keep it around for their own reasons. Now, let's say that there are employees at that bank whose job it is to do go through all copies of all messages and make sure what they say is done. If they find a message from several months ago saying "transfer £1000 from you to me this month" and are somehow oblivious to which month it is, they may transfer an additional one thousand pounds even if it's already happened. It's not an exact analogy, but...

Arguably, you might want to specify in some cases. For instance, both List<T> and HashSet<T> implement ICollection<T>.Contains, so code written to the interface will work with either. On the other hand, the HashSet implementation runs in constant time and the list implementation runs in linear time. Depending on what you're doing that might make things a lot slower. So you could certainly make an argument that you should just force the caller to pass in a HashSet in the first place, especially if the method is protected or private.
This is true. You can read about safety incidents involving Li batteries carried as cargo on airplanes. It's surprising what people will do - like put a spare Li battery in a plastic bag with a bunch of cables and wires. A wire then falls across the terminals, and you have trouble.
They have however swapped the order of presentation, which might say something about priorities. Previous MSBuilds have all been day 1 Windows, day 2 Azure.
An eraser tool and a paintbrush tool do essentially the same thing—overwrite an area of the image with new pixel values, typically blended in some way with the old values. It’s just that the eraser is for painting in the alpha channel, while the paintbrush also affects colour channels.

An alpha mask (on a layer with no alpha channel) is essentially a different way of viewing & editing the same data, and there you probably have no logical trouble with using a paintbrush tool.

> [...] officials briefed on the matter said on Wednesday.

In context:

"reviewing" is the key word.

> [...] make an announcement

But we won't know what the policy will be until they make the announcement. There is nothing in those two excerpts to indicate that this isn't speculation by the writer.

> This is why journalists think so many of their readers lack the skills to read the ingredient list for bottled water.

That was petty.
Checked bags go through a CT scanner, carry on just goes through an Xray scanner. The CT scans are much more detailed, so the thought is that potential explosive devices are easier to detect in checked bags than ones carried on. At least, that's the reasoning I've heard.

My first concern would be display resolution: A blueprint is big, and mobile displays are small. How the heck to see a big blueprint on a small screen? Maybe use some very high resolution funny glasses -- but the OP didn't hint at any such thing and, besides, wanted the mobile devices to cost less than $100 each.

The product design work, that is, go to the customer, e.g., if trying to help truck drivers, then ride with some truck drivers and maybe get a job as a truck driver for a while, is old advice in operations research.

The material on thinking about and planning whom to approach, understanding what to tell them to get their interest in under two minutes, etc. is good industrial selling.

The article describes for the product planning a lot of worker hours and expenses for travel and lodging: Sounds like PlanGrid burned a lot of cash before they got much revenue.

So firstly, I just wanted to say you seemed like the most self-aware of anybody I quoted.

That aside though, c'mon. Sure, the average _new_ car cost might be $33k, but have you ever been poor? Or known anyone who is? Poor people don't buy cars... they buy used cars, use public transportation, walk or bike. Poor people cannot afford a seventy thousand dollar Tesla, or even a $35k hypothetical Tesla.

And a lot of people are homeowners. In the US (off my head) the homeownership rate is around 70%. Musk literally said that his solar roof would be cheaper than a standard roof. It is not. End of sentence. No discussion: no matter what crazy sci-fi-ocalypse scenario plays out an $80k roof will not save you money compared to a $12k roof and investing the change in an index fund.

Musk does a lot of cool stuff, and the roof is kinda cool, but we can't live in a reality distortion field.

So, for an area where the homes average around $500,000, more than 1 in 10 estimates are off by $100,000 or more? That seems kinda bad.

For a large portion of the population, Facebook IS the web. You say it adds no value. I say it adds a ton: Facebook is their Google. Without "a google" - something to make sense of this mess of trillions of pages, the web is damn useless.

Doesn't mean they're useless or scams.
After reading this, I realized he lives in Atlanta GA and has a restaurant here. So of course I had to go. The pizza was, of course, phenomenal, but Jeff himself was there, and I let him know that his article reached the top page here.

Hilarious, I told him my pizza was excellent, and he was eating a Big Mac. He told me his was great too, but I couldn't have any. No trade!
It has been at least $100k way too high in our neighbourhood for well over a year. I'm not sure quite how they go so far off, there has been a slow but steady rate of house sales around to set their data from. Consistently the Zestimate has been noticeably over the market value, and it has been annoying sellers.
This aspect is what makes me think Snap might be a canary in the coal mine.

In the temporary image space, virtually all of the innovation has come from that company, whether it's the initial concept, expanding scope with stories, adding visual effects, etc.

In the end, it might not matter. Facebook repeatedly cloned Snapchat's features, starting with the Poke app in 2012 that Zuck reportedly wrote code for himself.

The result? They jammed it into all of their products (Insta, Messenger, WhatsApp, etc.) and seem to be riding the network effect to success.

Not saying that smaller players can't win, but man, brute force and a big network were really effective this time.

Your comment is spot on about the tech (won't comment on the social points). The weight check is broken. If you have to pay for bags, you want to use the least bags possible. This is incompatible with the operation of all the check out machines I've seen. Get rid of the weight check OR allow all you can use bags for free.
Visual Studio for Mac is based on Xamarin Studio, which is MonoDevelop. You have to port over everything to support C++ projects to Mac before you can use C++ projects in Visual Studio for Mac. The libraries may be packaged up, they may be portable code, but it's nontrivial. The work is >0. You can argue how close to 0 it is, but it's not like they don't have other work to do.
I am currently waiting to have my roof redone in the next couple of weeks It's going to cost $20k. I went through the calculator and it said that my roof would be about $30k after rebates, with no battery. That, to be honest, is something I wish I had known before I signed the contract to get my roof done. I don't, however, use much electricity. I use about $70/month max for my entire house, so I would literally have to convert everything over to electricity in order for this to be more worthwhile. But at this point, there's no incentive for me to ever get the solar roof unfortunately, having JUST dumped $20k into my shingle roof.
They say the glass is warrantied for the lifetime of the house, but it will be interesting to see what exclusions are in that warranty.
Dublin also has a second us security check. Going Dublin to Baltimore gets the immigration questions three times at least, once at the check in line, once after the second security line and once on arrival in BWI. The queues for the second and third time are reasonably lengthy and the TSA security in Dublin airport is more pushy and invasive than normal Dublin airport security.
I think it's the circle of capitalism. Western manufacturing industry basically said we can't compete on bulk products so we will focus on the specialized 'value add' part of the supply chain and let China produce bulk low margin products.

In 10-15 years time there is nothing to say Chinese manufacturing won't capitulate to $Next_Developing_economy in the same manner and surrender their bulk manufacturing dominance in favor of moving up the chain.

I feel like I comment this on every hearing impairment thread on HN, but for me invisible hearing aids are an anti feature. I prefer to wear behind the ear models as they provide a visual clue to people that I'm hearing impaired and they are more understanding about having to repeat themselves. (I started wearing them in my early 30s and I admit I was pretty self conscious about them to start with, but quickly got over it.)

Also kids notice them sometimes and are usually not shy about blurting out 'hey what's in your ears?!?' which can lead to teachable moments :)

Very different, nvd3 and pretty much all charting libraries are built around the idea of charting templates. What Vega (and its simplified cousin Vega-lite) provide is a grammar for describing the mapping between the data space and the visual space.

What this essentially means is that you are able to build your own visualisations. If you for instance check this sample[1], and in the JSON editor, inside the "encoding" section you swap x with y, and y with x, then click on the parse button, the chart will be redrawn with the x and y axis flipped.

From the abstract: "Our main finding is that the developmental curve of the estimated algorithmic complexity of responses is similar to what may be expected of a measure of higher cognitive abilities, with a performance peak around 25 and a decline starting around 60"

Based on this and the points in the scatter plot, it looks to me like you have 40 years or so of mostly the same "behavioral complexity" you do now, in expectancy, but with the added benefit of accumulated knowledge. For most tasks, my bet is that the right accumulation of knowledge and learned intuition is a larger factor than any sort of base generative ability. So, rather than giving up, I'd start compounding that learning now, with an eye towards the long term...

Forget the numbers, even Detroit as a whole is hard to buy - what about Boston?

I imagine if you offer your opinion about the price in a professional context where your opinion can affect the actual value of the property then you might have to follow some rules.

If you drive by a house and say "this house doesn't look like it's worth shit" you're probably not going to wind up in court after someone complains that said house is worth quite a bit more than shit and you're driving the price down.

Laws actually can be vague while remaining Constitutional. Sometimes it's unavoidable. Court cases can be used to refine the edges.
