Totally agreed. The algorithm that I was talking about is a rather curious one. It neither does vertex hopping like simplex, nor interior point iterations. It works with a factorized representation of the Lagrangian and then updates parts of the in a fixed point iteration that if converges would satisfy KKT. What is strange is that this is not monotonic in the dual cost (neither the primal).

As long as there is no more than 1 loop in the original problem the convergence is guaranteed. Otherwise no guarantee holds but it often does converge.
Why you should use F#
I'd hope our counterparts from other nations would be sophisticated enough about our Constitutional system to understand that what one President can agree to without enshrining it in law through Congress, a later President can just as easily disregard.

Conglomeration in general isn't great for the open web. That's where we are though.
I was trying to look up some of the EPA's prior work on climate early this morning. All the links from search engines went to pages that had been scrubbed. The links to PDFs of substantive reports were 404s.
> my [startup] equity was worth about 50% of my salary each year.

The equity of many AmaGooFaceSoft employees is also worth at least 50% of their yearly salary.
This is true, however rayiner appears to be neither the anti-tech/nihilist type of environmentalist nor the "set up incentives" type of environmentalist. (E.g., on the specific issue of climate he explicitly rejects setting up incentives or any other "political fix".)

Rather, he seems to believe that the market will provide for all, even when externalities make that irrational for individual actors in the market without some regulatort regime internalizing those externalities.

Hence, my description of him as a laissez-faire capitalist rather than any kind of environmentalist.
It's a guideline and spending money does not magically solve problems. The fact that the USA as a complex, bloated, bureaucratic military industrial complex does not mean that it's the right way to build a military.

All the money the USA spends on its military and after 17 years they've failed to suppress and army comprised of hastily-trained insurgents armed with 70 year old rifles and rudimentary explosives. And this is hardly the first quagmire of this sort the USA has been involved in.
Ask HN: If all world leaders are women, would there be any war?

They still know exactly who was driving. In areas where impersonation by people without working papers has been a problem, they've started to make the drivers photograph themselves to prove their identity.

It's a safer system than the existing yellow cab setup - if you go missing, at least they have a pretty good idea about who did it.
You seem very confident that "90% was not the right number", and I'm curious how you reached that conclusion. Do you have research that indicates the odds were actually way different, or does it just that it feel incorrect?

If I win the lottery, is it misleading for people to state that my odds of winning were one in a million?
I think Seth Godin had something called hard emotional work, essentially risk-taking. The few times I've done it, it felt more draining than some of the following:

1) moving my gf out of here apartment;
2) cutting grass with a slingblade (sure like them french-friend taters);
3) loading trucks with no forklift

Though I'm sure Mr. Fried worked at a kibbutz in the middle of the Sanai and hand-dug a 40-km irrigation disk. And I'm sure he paid his dues to get where he is.

And so have I and probably most of HN-sylvania.
IdealSpot Is Hiring a Node.js Architect / Developer
So what? Neither are mutually exclusive.
Thanks :) I love that I'm not the first/only one to do one of these in Brainfuck (especially in direct response to Ben's series).

I have a feeling the approach I take will follow from whatever I decide for RAM zeroing. The purist in me is still a bit put off by the idea of preprocessing. It feels more like a compiler+CPU rather than just a CPU. If I go the "highest address counter" approach where I synthesize zeros the first time a RAM location is passed, I probably won't do the loop pre-processing.

I could do a hybrid approach where both jump points are indexed the first time the loop is scanned. This would achieve amortized constant time. I think I could live with that...
This is a feature not a bug. I think it would have a positive effect on the workforce.
The rest of Europa still welcomes immigrants. Berlin might not be silicon valley but the're enough exciting opportunities there and you could argue that the quality of living is higher than the bay area.

Besides that Amsterdam, Paris and Barcelona are also great contenders. All have their upsides and downsides but any decent software engineer is going to be able to live an enjoyable life there.

Australia is also a great option, migrating there is a tad more difficult but a young software engineer is very welcome. Capital requirements if you're older are really steep though.

You'll find quite a bit of support for that viewpoint in Greece.
I never installed Messenger mainly because I was satisfied with using Facebook app's messaging feature. When it was disabled in the app, I moved to using Facebook in the browser (uninstalled the app). They later removed messaging support in the browser as well so now I request "Desktop mode" when I want to read/write a message. What started as "I don't want to install another app I don't need" became "I will uninstall all apps by Facebook" and now I'm happy I never receive FB-related notifications, I only browse it when I feel like it :)
That is because the previous president decided to unilaterally bind the country to the agreement rather than seek treaty ratification from Congress. It is a risk that ruling by executive decree entails.
Yes. Everybody aged out of it.
Of course, what makes you think women are not in favor of war? Of the course of history women are often encouraging war and that's no different when they are in a leadership position. For example, Hillary Clinton.
Already happening.
I am hoping there is a market for such a browser. I, for one, would much rather pay for a browser that looks out for my (privacy) interests than use a free browser that does not. But I fall in the boat of people who would also rather pay for a television set that only worked as a television set, and not a behavior tracker. Heck, I would happily pay more to keep that functionality as far away from me as possible.
The polls were off, and/or the race moved in last few days. If you can't see the difference between a statistical model's prediction and a journalist's factual claims, you're unlikely to find the sort of "objectivity" you're looking for.

And, fwiw, your sort of political "objectivity" just doesn't exist. What you want is the sort of fake equivalence as in "Yesterday, 10 people died in an earthquake in Northern Italy, according to local accounts. But Jeff from Kansas writes on Twitter that there was no earthquake and the cause of death was the LHC's creation of a black hole. What's the truth? You decide! Back after this...".
> a competing ISP

Wow! That actually exists in some places? ;-)

Infrastructure so often becomes a monopoly. I can't pay a competing bridge service to drive to work quicker, I can't pay a competing gas company to deliver gas via different pipelines to my house. And I can't pay a competing electric company that uses different wires.

I actually am lucky enough to live in a city where there are many competing high speed ISPs. But guess what? I've paid for fallback connections in the past and when one goes down, the other goes down, so I go out to lunch and see the guys working on the wires in the cabinet down the street. The wires that both my ISPs share. I suppose I could get a satellite ISP? That latency. True redundancy for infrastructure is actually very expensive in most cases.
Chromium skin (literally Electron app) with an adblocker and HTTPS Everywhere already integrated and an integrated payment thing, made by the guy infamous for inventing JavaScript and donating $$$ to pushing homophobic legislation? Whatever.
Yes but that's if I were to sell it after ~1 year at a company you've likely never heard of. If I wait 3 more and there's a large exit it could easily be worth millions.
If you make your ads look exactly like content, devaluing your actual content, then yes, you can mask ads more easily.
I think 102% in taxes is definitely not reasonable...

Flute Systems Inc. | Co Founder / Full Stack Engineer | Toronto, Canada | ONSITE Full Time

It's been over 8 years since we've seen any significant innovation in the email API space (think SendGrid, Postmark, etc.). But business email is a $23 billion space. We are a team of two UofT grads building Flutemail, a new email API which is fundamentally different from SendGrid/Mailgun/etc. Interested? Let's grab coffee in Toronto at our beautiful office.

A better line to draw in the semantic sand -- and this is mentioned elsewhere in the discussion -- is toil vs. work. Nobody creates a portfolio of toil, unless it's on a resume used to get more of it.

My parents toiled so I could work. I work so future generations can do.. whatever work turns into. It's an important distinction, and one that I often think of when I consider bragging / commiserating about my stress. I am so damn grateful that I have to work and not toil.
Nice ad you've got there. Be a shame if someone came along and blocked it.

The cost of measures to respond to climate change's consequences dwarf the costs to prevent it. Look at the 5.5 billion euro flood barrier that was built in venice. That is just to protect one city. Now multiply that over all cities on all coastlines.

We can't afford to do nothing, it is simply too expensive.
Trump's position amounts to hostage taking. Give us lots of money or we'll destroy the planet. It would be more honest if he did it with nukes.
Would oil companies be possible without the US military defending them in the rogue states they usually extract their oil from?

And that's not even considering the direct subsidies they receive.
Do you have a convenient way to sell your startup equity after ~1 year? (i.e. before there's an exit)

That's going to be a fun tidbit if they ever have an E. coli outbreak.
If Tesla fails to deliver the Model 3, I assume they'd need to refund the down payments for all the pre-orders. Similarly, Kickstarter's rules say if the kickstarter is funded but then fails to deliver, they must refund the money (though I have no idea how well-enforced this actually is).

Meanwhile, if Brave completely fails and the BATs become worthless, I don't think anybody's going to get refunded.
As a webdev who used JS for a while without really knowing what was going on under the hood and just chalking "unexpected" behavior up to That Darn JavaScript(TM), reading You Don't Know JS: Scope & Closures was really great:

Other countries don't care about post-facto rationalizations by partisans to demonize the other side in domestic policies.

The USA cannot be trusted as an ally. That is the takeaway here. Saying that "but Obama's worse than Trump!!!" isn't changing that and is entirely besides the point.

ETA: And, for what its worth, the Senate ratified NATO, and that hasn't stopped Trump and Republicans from doing their utmost to sabotage it. It's laughable for folks to pretend like this is some deep matter of principle.
From the perspective of the US Constitution, the Paris Accords are most certainly not a treaty. Treaties require a 2/3 vote of approval in the Senate.

The tradition of significant international agreements made deliberately short of "treaties" goes back to FDR/Churchill and the Atlantic Charter, if not further.
The Code for Facial Identity in the Primate Brain
Actually it has to do with the Republicans desire to be self-sufficient in all maters science. They want all scientific matters to be determined by their own sphere of influence.

This allows them to deny reality for any matter of science whether it's global climate, abortion, education, gun control, economics and any other issue which requires science to produce evidence in order to select the proper course of action.

It all these cases and more the scientific facts are diametrically opposite to the direction of Republican and conservative legislation.

By making science the stuff of the devil it leaves a gigantic opening for them to stuff their nonsense into the heads of the gullible right wing base.

ICO means Initial Coin Offering. It's when a new cryptocurrency first offers the ability to actually purchase tokens, or "coins", to the public.
To be accurate, it was the marginal tax rate that ended up 102%, not the total tax rate. Still, of course, that was completely preposterous and the current system is very different, though still high-tax in international comparisons.

That makes it a native ad and not a display ad, which can change the discussion quite a bit.
You can use system-level addons that will filter a web traffic, providing that you can trust the publisher.
I think the main argument of the article is a little murky. The notion that you shouldn't write an article to be shared around the web on Facebook is simple enough and pretty obvious to a technically savvy audience. But the argument is baked inside of this very emotional claim that because of this Facebook is "killing" the open internet. While that may or may not be true, the fact that I shouldn't write blog posts inside of Facebook doesn't map directly to "Facebook is killing the web!"
Not convenient, but definitely possible. Equidate is a fairly open market for that kind of thing.
Do people actually even use them? Sorta feels like a non-issue.

Only Facebook blog posts I've ever come across are posts from Facebook itself, usually Facebook Engineering.
Kind of sad people quit/resign/temper tantrum when they discover opposing views or decisions. I think this was a dumb move by the president but Elon and others originally joined to try and provide insight and influence against opposing viewpoints. Did they expect to get their way all the time?
That's not that easy. It assumes you have tracked your cost basis, for example.
> Hypothesis: we, outside Facebook, live in our own filter bubble. We don't get the whole picture.

I have a Facebook account, because I have non-nerd people I need to contact somehow and it seems like email is forgotten.

Facebook offers one things: an extermely simple way to waste you time. Do not underestimate this! It's better, than TV, because you can even join cults claiming the world is lead by evil lizarmen - people actually do this, for "fun", because they are bored.

That is all you'll find on the other side: bored people wasting time.

> Everyone was wondering (both pro-trump and anti-trump) where the "90%" came from

No, they weren't, because everyone paying even a little bit of attention to the issues around aggregating polling numbers new that 538 had already dissected the problem with that long before the election—most prediction models were falsely assuming that variations in outcome from.the poll averages between different states were independent events when history shows that such deviations are strongly correlated. Which is why 538, working with essentially the same polling data as everyone else, had Clinton's chance of losing much higher than NYT and some other predictors.

> To me, THAT's the ultimate "fake news".

Predictions of the future are (and were presented as) analysis, not news. To be "fake news", it has to firsr pretend to be news, that is, reports of things that have occurred.
Germany is exiting NATO. They have already deferred any spending commitment until after BREXIT (UK leaving the EU). I don't think Trump's weird behaviour prompted Merkel's 'We can't depend on them anymore' speech. But bad? meh. depends if you think the demise of NATO is bad.
Most of the new renewable energy is coming from red states and it's coming not due to some moral obligation but due to jobs, demand, and price. The Wind corridor may turn Blue for next election. Farmers getting paid 10k a year to lease a wind turbine on their farms is like striking oil that lasts forever. Counties that had been dead due to loss of manufacturing and movement into cities have been revitalized through many new jobs and tax revenues from wind farms. These counties may not have too many votes, but they have a huge representation in the House and we will see environmental friendly Conservatives or even Democrats coming from there.
What's Really Behind Assault on Tesla Factory “Safety?”
But many NATO countries have had a decrease in military spending since 2006 when this agreement was signed and have shown no real intention to get up to this level. Now it's perfectly reasonable to say that this is fine and the 2006 agreement isn't that big of a deal. It's also very reasonable to say that good relations are more important than everyone meeting their goal and a clear commitment to Article 5 is essential. But sergiotapia's comment that countries should pay their fair share is also reasonable and ajross's response that NATO isn't a pool of money misses that point.
The 16 year old is saying you probably don't know what SnapChat is if you are "old." But you can't assume that he doesn't use Facebook based on that quote.

You make it sound like those "pledges" are binding or even difficult to make happen.

Keeping a 0% change for China while trying to convert from a developing to a fully industrialized nation is very difficult and ambitious, actively reducing our emissions is just going to happen anyway because of the uptake in non-fossil energy sources.
Thanks for Meerkat. Nifty little app.
Pretty sure there are many other things as well your native language dictates how you think about.
App development with Swift gets you great things such as upgrading your iPhone, but then getting locked out of development because xcode is out of date. But wait, the next version of xcode requires your OSX installation to be Sierra (which your computer is not candidate for upgrading to)! Excellent.
