Yea, my point was both college selection and major selection should be guided by ROI. This was pretty thoroughly drilled into me by my parents and my high school advisors / guidance counselors. We couldn't afford much so I went to a low cost state school, took advantage of as many scholarships as I possibly could, and picked an engineering major. At no point in the process did anyone ever advise me to "follow my dreams" or "pursue my passions".
Same thing here, no clue why people are upvoting this.
Hi!

I am a front-end developer who has experience in building single page applications in React and other javascript frameworks. I was responsible for building an enterprise-level visualization dashboard at Xactly corp, San Jose, CA. I have recently graduated in MS in Information Systems from Northeastern University, Boston, MA. You can contact me at: chavan.e@husky.neu.edu
Not seeing that option on my 6p.
Yes, being more dangerous is the appeal of cars. Yes, so funny. So clever and subversive. Edgy post, bro.

Backups don't stop someone from copying your data and credentials.
Ok, labor power = labor capacity, & surplus = profit (note that I lumped this with 'compensation'). Why not just use standard economic terms?

It seems that you're opposed to the profit motive in it's entirety. I don't I need to tell you that every time they've tried to pull the profit motive out a system in the past, it's been a complete disaster... You can't just wave a magic wand and create a better mouse trap / make central planning work well.

You yourself admit that co-ops get crushed by for-profit companies. Won't co-op countries get crushed by for-profit countries? Therefore isn't the communist economy, by design, poorer than the market economy? Don't people in poor countries try to flee to rich countries? Sounds like the only way you can sustain such a system is with global totalitarianism. You've read Hayek right?

How do you know that the explanation jives with the other outputs, though? It seems like a turtles-all-the-way-down situation, because now I want to see how it was properly introspective of its own decision making.

Also seems like it’s another magnitude of complexity in the neural net to have it not only train and learn on your inputs, but also train and learn on its own training and learning.
Is that 7.5% interest rate standard? Is it high because of the risk inherent in young adults being unable to service the loan?
I was interested in bitcoin before it got really big but I was convinced by others that it was going to just fizzle out. Now FOMO is driving me to want to buy a star but it's much I'm less confident in this then I was of bitcoin.
You are correct, but if you actually have the source and can compile a binary from that, it is much easier to evade detection. As you might imagine, the gnarly things you have to do to add malware to existing software often trigger detection mechanisms.
I have a Nexus 5 as well. Mine has some cracks along the bezel but is otherwise fine. The battery is really wearing down a lot though. I think I may get an iPhone when it dies. There's no way I'm shelling out premium cash for a Pixel.
Echoing this with a Note4, I get updates from Samsung almost every month (bi-monthly for the most part). Runs brilliantly.

I was sloppy in my own examples. I’d be perfectly satisfied with an AST, or regex, or other non-English explanation. But something that I can audit is what I’m after. Otherwise this tool would never be trustworthy enough to let lose on billions of rows of data, with silent errors occurring throughout. (Well, I guess it depends on the nature and importance of the data. Cat photos, meh. Drug prescriptions? Ahh!)
Wanted to share about my BI startup here for those who're interested too: holistics.io - we're a small, self-funded BI startup in Asia (Singapore). Started 2 years ago and have customers around the globe, from small startups to big unicorns.

https://www.holistics.io

We're not free or open-source, but a lot more affordable than other competitors. Our pricing starts with $50/mo for 5 users. We have a few customers who moved to us from open-source alternatives or other commercial competitors.

We support PostgreSQL, MySQL, SQL Server, Redshift, Greenplum, BigQuery, Presto, etc.

If you try it out let us know you're from HN and your first 2 months are on us.
This. Though I'm woefully under-skilled to offer much comment on these sorts of stories, it is exactly this sort of story and the comments of much smarter people than me that attract me to read HN. Really, I wish it were more of this sort of thing and less politics and other non-tech miscellanea.
Theoretically beautiful, like most utopian visions. The reality is that most places that the UN is involved in are human rights hellholes.
I've never believed in the "speculators" argument. Either there's a market or there isn't. I believe bubbles rise and pop owing to the properties of Ponzi schemes, which rise and pop. When a market takes on Ponzi-like characteristics (usually not intentionally), that's when it becomes bubble-like. Any wealth-concentrating mechanism, capitalism itself included, is essentially a pyramid system, which needs increasing input from the bottom to keep going. Soon the bottom layer of the pyramid is so big there aren't enough new suckers to support it, and the whole thing collapses leaving everyone running for the exits.
Well, GitLab is slower than my pet tortoise.
Sorry, bud. I also went back to school for another go after 2005, still focusing primarily on ROI. So I think I can say I'm well aware of and lived through both current and past student loan / tuition regimes. But please feel free to continue to attack the tone of my argument rather than the content.
I am a relatively happy FastMail customer, but I have two main complaints:

- Their spam filtering is atrocious.

- In the next 5 years I expect my family to expand and part of what drove me to FastMail was their family plan. That no longer exists.

I have never heard of Runbox before your post and after a quick glance at their website, I am intrigued. What other services did you consider?

Thoughts on Anything You Want by Derek Sivers
The podcast you're thinking of may be Dan Carlin's Common Sense, he recently did an episode on USA health care, where he touches on precisely the same points you mention.
Can you point an outsider towards some reading that will help me make sense of the statement "Biological humanity will ideally be obsolete in the long term."?
The Instamotor Android app is entirely built using Kotlin.

What incentive is there for a politician to do the right thing on the whole? They need a broad professional support base (party) to succeed in the American voting system, which means they toe the line or go nowhere. And there are lobbyists (at best) pressuring or forcing their hand on decisions where so much money is at stake (private prisons, healthcare, education, etc).

You could say that a real character or charismatic leader may emerge from outside the political system and slowly convince people to change things, but the US just got the former and I don't know that it's working very well.

Brings to mind this recent story about Dwayne Johnson as a potential candidate: http://www.gq.com/story/dwayne-johnson-for-president-cover
Naw, JSON has reasonable quoting in the strings. It's maybe painful to read the raw json, but it encodes just fine.
You might as well ask what doesn't break on a ship. Salt water corrosion, thermal stress, vibration, residue accumulation, and hull flexing due to large swells are really hard on equipment. Here's a good case study on the type of repairs that a merchant ship crew might have to perform in the middle of the ocean.

http://www.brighthubengineering.com/marine-engines-machinery...

Ocean going merchant ships spend much of their time outside of practical helicopter range. And even when close to shore, winching a repair technician down to a disabled autonomous vessel that can't even keep its bow into the weather would be a dangerous affair.
I recall a joke from someone... Can't remember who, that went like, "does your startup compete with Excel? Did you just rediscover pivot tables?"
Actually, I dont know. Good question. I tried to quickly get the info but all I found was about I/O. It's done UNSAFE to use platform-specific ways of reducing overhead. Probably no GC semantics there. Anyone curious who can get some Modula-3 source for stdlib might just look to see if UNSAFE is at the top of the routines. Also, if that turns off the GC, Id reason that just putting it in front of a stdlib function that was GC'd might make it work without it unless they screwed up memory management in the code itself.
Haha nothing in particular! I just happened to stumble upon that site, which I had forgotten about, while searching for this particular piece, which I find incredibly moving for some reason. I thought the HN hivemind might also find beauty and inspiration in it, which is why I shared.
Spotting a million dollars in your AWS account
I'm not entirely clear what you are complaining about, but I can't, cannot, convince the org to bet the future on the ability and moral grounding of two random guys in a garage. sounds like a pretty reasonable stance for an organization to take?

Enterprise sales takes lots of demos, trials on subsets of data, support arrangements, relationship building etc.

NASA, DoD? FRA, NHTSA? You're looking at a 10 year lead time.

DARPA programs have a fixed, 2 year span, and they aren't allowed to be renewed. It's deliver something in 2 years or fail.

You and I both know that those same two guys working for AFGAM are still the same two guys.

But it's not. Or at least those two people don't deliver a product, they deliver research outcomes, which then takes double the number of people to turn into reliable software, which then takes double that number of people to make deployable and run at scale, which then takes double that number of people to support. And then you need a sales team.
Happy to see a Go alternative.. Good job OP
We are expanding it to a number of skin and ocular diseases.
Don't worry, there are a lot of people who still don't go to their first choice school because it's too expensive.

But if even the second, third, fourth, fifth, etc, choices also leave you 50K+ in the hole... and nobody will give you a glance without some kind of degree... what the fuck are you supposed to do?

IME you're wildly overestimating the number of people who think they're going to make tons of money with a BA in Photography or similar. They just need to tick that degree checkbox to be employable at most places, and everyone has been telling them to go to a 4 year university their entire life, and they're all stupidly expensive.
SELinux in general isn't that hard imo, but it also wouldn't stop this attack in the default configuration.

You may consider writing a custom SELinux policy such that only the git executable can access the .git directory. This would be a much more useful mitigation against this attack, but it would also move the difficulty barrier significantly.
"zeolite clay" is not jargon, it's the exact material required.

Cautionary tale here for anyone entering college - take out student loans for 2x the cost of tuition (UC tuition is about 12,300) and you'll be paying for a looooong time.

If you can, you're much better off limiting your student loans and working to pay for food/beer/rent etc. students who work through college generally manage to pull the same or higher GPAs anyway, so you're not going to hurt your career.
Would this program consider/accept corporate technical executives (aged 40+) who are looking to launch startup ventures?

Would love to attend, but we don't fit in the mold of regular applicants for this program (as described in the FAQ)

My new years eve plans and how I managed to boost my apps downloads
There is basically no risk, they are government guaranteed and can't be defaulted on.
Youtube was far behind porn site's HTML5 video players for years. It was in 'beta' forever. I always thought it was strange how slow they were to improve it, being a billion dollar company and all and having a pretty straight-foward product page where people spend 99% of their time, engaging with a single piece of tech.
I asked the questions because I'd like to know the answer. I'm not arguing passive aggressively.

I looked at the source repo, and at a glance, it looks like the app stores the key pair on the iOS keychain. My guess is that means the key can be removed from the device if the user chooses to do so, or if the user give access to the keychain to another application. Perhaps I'm wrong about that. I keep hearing "The key never leaves the device" repeated, and I'd mainly like to know how that guarantee is made.
great piece of music, beautiful website design, something completely different for a change.

Bach wasn't into computers much, but man did he hack those notes. Great pick!
For myself, I'd like to see a breakdown on why each side feels a specific way -- for example, not everyone who hates Trump loves Hillary, and not everyone who supports Trump really likes the guy, but are focused on specific policies that touch them.

A contractor that I work with has been hit really hard by rapidly increased monthly health care premiums, so he is not in favor of Obama care. On the other hand, my significant other is medically disabled, and the ACA has been a godsend for her. For myself, I'm comfortable with employer provided insurance, don't have family coverage, so that issue doesn't affect me personally either way.

I'd like to hear more specifics issues like this, along with possible solutions that have a good chance of working.
It's gone up because of one reason- unlimited student loans being available. As long as the money is available, schools will pay administrators more, Filled newer buildings, and charge their students more.

This might be a dumb question, but let's say that for whatever reason on a specific problem it's much easier to train a neural network that generalizes well than a decision tree. Why not train the network, then build an equivalent decision tree that just tries to reproduce the network's output? When building the tree from the network, overfitting would not be a concern. In fact, you'd want it to overfit.

You could even say that it only needs to approximately reproduce the output with some tunable error threshold, which might give you leeway for finding more comprehensible and simpler trees.

The article doesn't say anything about Starbucks not knowing about it. The employee who picked up apparently didn't know but I'd be surprised if Apple didn't get the go ahead from Starbucks first.
Google has flat out said they won't support any devices past 18 months. The Pixel may not even receive any updates after O.
Metabase is awesome - a very polished product for an open source BI tool. Great user interface too.
I'm not talking theoretical, this has actually happened. The industry moved out of Southern China shifting some communities back to the poverty they were climbing out of.

Where did the factories go? Bangladesh, where workers cost less and are abused more.
JSON, given the same schema, will always be more efficient byte-for-byte than XML. In addition, JSON as a format is native to JavaScript, which itself is ubiquitous. That's not even mentioning raw readability/writability.

Basically, XML is to JSON as SOAP is to REST. It had it's day, though it's obviously still useful, but we have better tools now. Frankly, I'm surprised we haven't seen a proposal like this sooner.
These "allofbach" videos never play correctly on my computer, they play then stop then play then stop.

Why so much video quality if it's going to ruin the music experience completely?
debt versus net worth is a more descriptive metric.

But over time debt will inflate the economy and make net worth look like it has been raised, when in fact, it's the effect of the debt itself.
Excel is a really powerful tool. If you are fine with needing Windows or Mac (e.g. not Linux) and you are ok with their licensing constraints it's pretty hard to beat.
What if the website itself doesn't do web-torrenting—in fact, it doesn't even make the magnet links links, instead just showing raw magnet hashes as text—but there also happens to be a well-known "unaffiliated" browser extension that does "gradual enhancement" of any site using the magnet-hash text "microformat", into a web-torrent download button?

The site doesn't link to copyrighted content. It doesn't link to anything, in fact.

And the extension doesn't contain any references to copyrighted content. It contains no content, and is completely unaware of any sources of content. (No explicit whitelist patterns for sites it should run on, etc.)

And—at least as far as anyone can tell—the two things have different authors.

But put them together, and oops! You've got a piracy program! User's fault for putting them together, of course.
Same with winforms. I'm not sure if it was added at some point or always there, if it was always there I wish I knew about it a lot sooner.

Your "argument" was nothing but tone, unless you're literally trying to say that people are majoring in underwater basket weaving, in which case my counter argument is "no they aren't".
Basically, the easy availability of student loans put inflationary pressure on tuition prices.

This fueled significant administrative bloat (compare the administrative org chart of your school to the one your parents or grandparents attended) and massive spending on new facilities, which locked in the need for the higher tuition rates.
That's a snapshot in time. Yes, some people who have been out of college for twenty years have paid their debt down to less than $10K. Also, a sizeable percentage of homeowners have mortgages of less than $10K, at this instant. But both student borrowers and homeowners started off with more debt. You're assuming they're graduating with $10K debt. Actual average debt at graduation is $37K.
Not even a screenshot?

I don't have time to play around with this at the moment, but I don't think I would want to mess with something whose author didn't even bother to put a screenshot up for a product that requires you to jump through a lot of installation hoops like setting up docker server, etc.
It's amazing the difference of a vine ripened tomato from backyard garden versus a hothouse grown fast and shipped thousands of kilometers. The tomatoes from my garden in the summer are like dense red balls almost no seeds it's like a berry which I think a tomato technically is. Plus the taste is powerful tomato flavour not a bland tasteless hothouse fast food tomato.

Some rosemary focaccia toasted, a little olive oil, salt, pepper and that nice dense garden tomato is a perfect summer sandwich.

And I have to say I have nothing against genetically modified food as long as it has been studied.

Apparently we here in Canada grow many of those crappy tomatoes http://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/06/16/473526920/how...

I wonder if it uses Z3 under the hood for solving constraints. Very nice of MSFT to MIT license Z3. It's super useful for problems that result in circular dependencies when modeled in Excel, and require iterative solvers (e.g., goal seek). I use the python bindings, but unfortunately it's not as simple as `pip install` and requires a lengthy build/compilation. Well worth the effort, though.

I think it has changed for good. There are also initiatives to simplify Scala (e.g: dotty), and initiatives to go native (e.g: Scala native via LLVM). I think Scala has some good potential.
The web design used to be terribly unusable, with interface elements constantly feeling like they were trying to trick you. They managed to re-do it and improve it a lot.

It's a good sign. At one BWV per week, this project is going to take about 18 years in total. To succeed, they'll have to be prepared to go through many versions of the site.
Oh, I assumed your employer was using Google Apps. If that's not the case, why do you need Hangouts? Don't they use something else for voice+video?
Nothing directly making the case exists as far as I know.

The simplest metaphor I always make is that it's the same as the elderly being comfortable dying knowing that their offspring are off living their lives. In this case it's humanity that's dying and AGI is our offspring.

I mean we're doomed as a species in the long run anyway - that's well understood evolutionary biology - so lets take control of that and engineer our offspring directly.

Here's Lawrence Krauss making the case in a roundabout way:

"What if our descendants aren't carbon based, what's wrong with that?"

That’s why offline backups are useful as a complement. For example, Arq can do backups to an external hard drive.

Have you tried clicking the 'HD' button in the lower right? You can step down the video quality to 380p. Does that help?

The default is 'auto', which I'd expect to be fine, but if it picks up settings from Vimeo, you might have something else selected.
Those two aren't comparable because you cannot distinguish between key:val pairs and lists. You need dotted lists.
