For what it's worth, "prevent them from earning a living in their chosen career" is not the same as "ostracize them from all society."

A person who has been cut from a grad school program for rampant academic honor code violations can be a perfectly-functional member of society, and if no school wants to trust them as a teacher, that's not the fault of the schools.

Personally, I don't have a high opinion of the tech culture though, and I suspect even the people fired for sexual harassment will be employed in another tech company within six months. The money flows too fast and too loose to expect otherwise, and the overall engineer-owner-capitalist-America ecosystem doesn't act as a sufficient deterrent to toxic sexual harassment culture to expect these employees will actually be cut out of the loop. It's a Hollywood environment.
Not all automakers do this. There are vehicles where the obd-ii port has access to the main CAN bus.
Was there an answer to the question in the title? Just better analytics on the offensive side of things? They mention Oakland A's value approach in getting players.

Lauded, examined, written about - I agree.
Taught - Not so sure. Alex Honnold is an extreme outlier. We mortals may marvel but Im not sure his feat can be replicated so easily. I may be wrong.

The guy is simply rad. I couldn't stop laughing at this:

A lighter moment came later, Honnold said, when he passed some climbers who had spent the night on a ledge. He did his best not to wake them.

"I woke up one guy and he sort of said, 'Oh, hey.' Then when I went by, I think he discreetly woke up his buddies because when I looked down they were all three standing there like 'What the f?'*

Imagine yourself and your buddies 3/4 up the mountain and you see a guy coming down solo. It must take a minute to process the thought that he must have climbed up.
wtf did I just see? Oh shit!!

That would be unbelievably stupid. It's not like in DOJ anyone cares if she "did the right thing", they'll put her in the slammer all the same. Not even Hillary Clinton would get off scot free after something like this.
The "funemployment" part is true, but that's usually after they secured a job and plan on starting with a bit of a break.

Otherwise their "funemployment" would be plagued with job interviews and prep.

I tell people, sometimes, that studying mathematics felt like studying god's (goddess') thoughts. Physics and the like describe this universe - and somehow mathematics reaches something different.

If anything, I wish we had something akin to a mathematics monastery. I'm not talking about academia - that avenue clearly leads to financial enslavement at this point. I'm talking about a place with lots of chalk boards and pretty basic room/board.

What would it contribute to society? How about...people with increased thinking skills and a place to belong? It could also taken on consulting work from everywhere.

It may end up looking like a liberal arts college or the math wing of the NSA - sans secrecy. I'd also want the barriers to entry to be low.
yep, absolutely!
Oh! Well... good point. There is no such things at the moment. What you want seems to be relationships between you and the contact, or between contacts?
okay, my error - thanks!
Yours is an interesting comment because of its paradoxical nature. You seem to be implying that you yourself "don't care", but then say that those that don't care don't comment, and yet here you are commenting, which would imply that you do indeed care. But then, you only care enough to say you don't care, and that there are "many more" people like you. But I don't see anyone else saying "hey, we don't care" on this thread, which leads me to believe that there actually aren't more people like you. My brain is caught in a loop!
What? Education needs to scale because everybody needs education. Highly personalized education requires decreasing the number of students assigned to each teacher, which in turn would require a huge increase in education spending (and also short-medium term labor shortages in the field). Rich people who spend $100k/year on their children's education are doing the best they can for their children, but unfortunately it is not even nearly feasible for everyone to be educated that way.

Also, it's about cost effectiveness, not just cost. The more parts of education that are scaled, the more money can be spent on other programs that can enrich kids' lives, which we currently don't have the money for in some cases (e.g. music programs, special ed, special programs for the gifted, actual educational research).
People worked in Uber are automatically considered rapists now, only if they worked for one month and fleed in panic from there.
Yes I agree in the old days childbirth was more dangerous for women than warfare was for men (at least in that warfare isn't usually constant but pregnancy was).

I'd disagree in that the fundamental point is under those circumstances people would be dying of diseases and such faster than they can die of starvation.

As a concrete example where I live the civil engineers provide wells for water and sewage treatment plants dumping safe waste into the river. Without that engineering, people would die from waterborne illnesses faster than they can eat canned foods.
As a climber, I wish this were less widely publicized. Free soloing is extremely dangerous, and dozens of climbers - including experienced ones die doing it every year.
Did you deliberately take that out of context so you could impose a ban? It's the exact same sentence OP said but with the subject replaced to highlight its utter ridiculousness. Either all of it's bad or none of it. Remind me which guidelines are being broken by calling infantile behaviour infantile.

To that point, I think it's necessary for any engineer to understand at least how tree structures work, so that this type of reasoning is intuitive. There's a tree for the first column in the index, and at each of its leaves, there's a tree for the second column. So if you have a really complicated tree on the first column, subsequent columns won't work well, because you'd need to look at many many subtrees. But if you only have a few leaves on that first tree, then the system will just explore a subtree for each one, and you'll only have a few of those to run through.

You don't need to know O notation or know what kind of trees they are (much less how they're implemented) to understand that. But if you only think of a database as an Excel table and not as trees sitting on top, you'll tend to make inefficient design decisions. And at the rate that data structures are moving into the frontend, arguably everyone in the stack should know how to think in this way.
DigitalOcean automatically blackholed one of my droplets due to a DDoS attack last year. They notified me immediately via email and a human responded to my support ticket within 30 minutes with technical details.

I was able to provision a new droplet right away, so the downtime was minimal. I think the way DigitalOcean handled the incident was perfectly reasonable, and was a much better experience than I've had with other cloud providers in the past.
Well, the author of Mathematica has chosen elaborate names for functions. Everything is explicit. Super long camel-cased names.

Also Amazon Cloud Drive is $60/year, and is unlimited. They also have an unlimited plan for photos for $12/year.
For me, I pay $1 a month for automatic iPhone/photo backups. $12 a year is trivial and beats syncing up my phone every once in a while and creating two backups for it.

I, however, do use my own HDDs for backing up my computers.

If "learning and developing new skills" isn't the exact same thing as test preparation, then the test needs to be fixed.

Good tests matter. Teaching to the test is the same thing as teaching the material needed, given that the test is decent.

Yep. So sorry about that, but a fix is ready to be shipped for that, but I don't want to interrupt the prod right now, way too much traffic from HN :-D
Really? All kinds of motivations are easy to imagine, but the reporting about the leaker herself indicates that she maybe just did it for political reasons (ie- she is Anti-Trump).

But given the response and the constellation of corroborating info from various sources, it seems pretty reasonable at this point to presume it is NOT disinformation. It's almost certainly not a complete picture of what various parties know and it's likely a snapshot of an evolving knowledge base (ie- the broader intelligence community's knowledge of what was going on before and during our election).

But the presumption that it is not 'false' information should be pretty solid by now.
@robinhood it won't let me save birthdays before 1967? Need to add people born in the 50's and 40's :)
Of course it should be taught -- that doesn't mean everyone ought to try ridiculously dangerous feats like Alex did. But the practices that allowed him to do so are worthwhile nonetheless.
I agree and like this article but the midwest needs to adopt a few things the valley did right. 1) Hand out more equity to early employees and create a flywheel of entrepreneurs who build and finance other businesses. 2) Get rid of the non-compete culture. Standard form in Chicago is 18 months. This is unenforceable in Cali. 3) Put value on youth. We still live under a manufacturing seniority mindset. One woman once told me "I can't wait to turn 30 so I can be taken seriously". The midwest has all the talent and ingenuity it needs. It has a unique perspective and is relatively inexpensive to live in, but the rules need to be revised to favor competitiveness.
edit: was wrong, see replies.
What's wrong with that? It's just a counter :-D
It becomes a problem when you've got people who are incredibly single-minded about something.

I don't mind my coworker's weekly posts about car stuff at all, even though I have no interest whatsoever. And when he posts some progress on some car repair he's doing, I'm glad to see he's doing something he loves.

But when my SJW friend posts yet another ridiculous over-the-top post about how all X are X, and somehow thinks this means they aren't be prejudiced themselves, it's hard to handle. You can't tell them anything, either, because there's something different about you that makes them think you're unable to empathize with them, or understand what they're going through.

Some of them are so incredibly obviously wrong, too. Like: All cops are corrupt.

This is a person who is pretty fun to be around and hosts parties that are fun. In person, they aren't so overbearing about this stuff. But online? They're a monster who can't be corrected or even debated with. If you do, you're X and can't understand.

In short, I think you're fortunate not to have anyone single-minded like this on your Facebook friends list. The only real solution is to just unfollow them, which is horrible because you then miss the posts from them that you actually want to see.
For those wanting to play w/ the data, there are a lot of resources [0]. I personally have combined older retrosheet data [1] with modern MLB data to some neat uses, not the least of which to try out tech like Druid (big data, live slicing, etc). E.g. If you wanted data from Sunday's Houston vs Texas game, GDX has tons of XML for parsing at [2]. There are plenty of guides that tell you what is what of course. It has been on my mind to develop a tensorflow graph trained w/ existing data to help me win some FanDuel/DraftKings money, but I haven't as of yet (and I should note the MLB data has restrictions against bulk or commercial use).

I'm surprised that we are still at a point in society where people legitimately don't understand the difference between workplace-appropriate behaviour, and harassment.

But, to spell the difference out:

Once is asking. Twice is harassment. Propositioning a report is a fireable offense.

There's more to it, but those are the basics.
The iCloud Drive integration on the Mac is pretty good. It's as good as Dropbox. The iOS integration is good too but hampered by the limited concept of files on iOS. Maybe with the Files app on iOS 11 this will change (although that app supports third party cloud drive services).
Yep. We are.

We tend to find places that really know what they are doing and stick to them. If my wife asks a question and whoever she is talking to sounds even a little bit uncertain, she won't eat there. Going somewhere new always involves scouting and a "fingers crossed" experience while she's eating.

Checking on things like separate fryers gets old, so when a restaurant knows what they are talking about they get A LOT of repeat business from us. Fast food tends to be tougher when travelling but Chick-fil-a actually does a great job. Fries in a separate fryer, grilled nuggets and their salads are all safe.

We actually bought a used RV the past year for family trips because it makes it so much easier to just preload a travelling kitchen.
The word "manage" has to go, but it's a tough one. Any word having to do with augmentation is too robot/AI sounding. I like the idea of "cultivating," as in the Dale Carnegie approach or the another commenter's awesome uncle with the spreadsheet. But it's a balance of memory and cultivation.

Anyway, nice work.
There's a great documentary on the climbing culture of Yosemite and its evolution (including the equilibrium-punctuating arrival of Alex Honnold) available at least on Netflix: Valley Uprising.

> Not true! ZFS also normalizes. However, while HFS+ normalizes on _create_ (bad), ZFS normalizes on lookup (good).

That's not a question of being true or not but referring to different things. The distinction I was trying to make is that HFS+ will force every filename into NFD. With ZFS, the filename as received from the APIs should be the same byte sequence which was used to create it and that avoids an entire category of bugs where e.g. a program writes a file and fails to find it in a later readdir() call. As an example, Subversion and Git both had numerous bug reports over the years where it was impossible to simply checkout a repo containing a file which used a different normalization form.

It's happening more and more that there are shutdown posts about startups that had minimal exposure on HN. I have never heard of this service and the post does a bad job of explaining it to people who are lacking that context.
At the end of the day, it's about access to capital. My wild hypothesis is if some angel investor said, "I'm going to invest 10 billion dollars in funding startups but you have to relocate to Colorado/midwest/anywhere for the first 5 years", then in the next 5 years that city will definitely "have a prosperous startup industry". Yes, you can be successful bootstrapping but it seems so much easier once you have funds to use for hiring/marketing/scaling/etc. (Note: I've never raised any amount of capital before.) In addition the "we've raised money" badge also signals legitimacy to potential employees, customers, partners.
From my perspective that's not worth the trade-off of well... Google. I don't trust them with my data, information, or much at all really.

Thank you for your service, and for your updates. :)

A few observations, I think, flow from this:

1) Still not a study (as I note you have noted elsewhere, but I'm drawing that to the attention of anyone else who reads this), but rather an anecdote. Interesting one, though.

2) Art and Fear was published in '93, so that means chemical photography. That means that even the students who were being marked on quantity would have some lower bound for quality (in a digital photography regime, you'd just hold down the shutter for an hour and submit 3000 photos and be done for the semester). By-hand developing also has a lower bound on how much work you can do and still produce a photo. It just seems a lot less game-able than the pottery version, which makes the story seem more believable. So that makes it pretty weird to change for Bayles and Orland to change the story.

For myself, I think it's true that if you want to be good at anything worthwhile, you need to do a lot of work. But it's also true that if you want to be good, you need to struggle with perfecting your craft, rather than merely churning out whatever. I highly doubt that either is adequate alone. Of course, if you merely want to be tolerable, in many fields some people can get by on talent (however talent works).
Excuse me? Your characterization is far off the mark, and your snark unappreciated. I was simply remembering that the government can and does lie, and that there we should remember the interests of the parties involved. It's not content free to observe this fact and to stress what we do and do not know.

If I had to change anything it would be the fact that they only signed up for an intercept mailing list using work email, not direct contact. I regret the error, I was going off what I read yesterday.
Alex is famous because he does "free soloing" - which doesn't use any ropes or safety at all. More people do "free climbing" which uses ropes just in case of fall.

Anyone have any idea how often free climbers end up falling and needing their ropes? Could many good free climbers do what Honnold did, but just like the added bits of safety?

What would constitute evidence in this context?

To me, this statement which was:

* made contemporaneously with the investigation
* by experts
* not intended for public consumption

is evidence. It's not a formal proof, but it's evidence.
I think it's a perfectly reasonable question. I wouldn't expect a candidate to know all the implementation details for any particular database, even one they've worked with a lot. But I would expect them to have a general idea about how an index typically works (e.g. "some form of binary search tree"), or at least be able to reason from first principals given the problem it's intended to solve. From a different angle, I think it would be perfectly reasonable to ask someone what kind of data structures they would turn to if they needed fast lookups in an unordered list.

No one question should ever disqualify a candidate, but I'd be a little concerned that someone who can't even begin to reason through how an index might work would treat them as magical black boxes that just make everything faster. And that's certainly not true. For some kinds of data they don't speed up lookup time at all. In some situations they speed up reads, but slow down writes considerably. I'd expect someone to have enough foundational knowledge so that when they're on the job they could do a bit of quick research and decide if adding an index on any given column was a good idea or not.

There is no ad revenue at The Intercept.

Wow. Someone, whom you've never spoken to before, shares a personal story about their treatment in prison, and your reaction is "well you deserved it, treats you right". That's a fairly uncouth attitude to have towards one of your hacker peers.
You're both kinda correct... your original comment was just poorly phrased.

The word "scapegoat" is commonly used to describe someone who gets blamed for something unfairly. Assuming these fired employees were harassing colleagues, then it wasn't "unfair" to fire them.

But you seem to be using it in a manner similar to "fall guy". Where a lower-level wrongdoer ends up shielding higher-level wrongdoers from blame.
