20 hours of remote work, but that's all the work we expect. The job is 100% remote.

We really believe that the 40 hour work-week is antiquated when it comes to the tech space and that having people sitting in a chair 9-5 doesn't do anything to help us be more productive.
I'd guess that GoL and Cellular Automaton Theory preceded and inspired rule 30 etc. So, maybe the architects implied metarecursion, that GoL metaphorically generated rule 30.

GoL is Turing complete. I guess that means there is a starting condition that converges to a rule30 cellular automaton.

I wanted to use Atom for the reasons you stated, and gave it a decent chance for a few months. Cool product as far as features and community. However, went back to Sublime due to Atom's heavy CPU/battery usage and freezing while I'm typing (without plugins too).
I'm currently evaluating BI vendors for my company and just about every major contender has this functionality or is developing it. Read the Gartner report from 2017 and they basically just come out and say that this will be the new standard in BI.

The much harder problem is data management and preparation. Anyone with half a brain and a decent visualization tool can create basic graphs - but that doesn't mean they should, especially if the organization doesn't have good data management processes in place.

Issues like data governance, data prep, and data modelling are the major pain points for me. And honestly, developing a useful BI solution is more about culture change than it is technology. If a company has poor data governance, it doesn't matter how whiz-bang their technology is, they're still not going to get useful insight from their numbers.

An individual OneLogin relying party does not have credentials to leak that could be used anywhere else. It just verifies signed messages from OneLogin.

The sheer number of databases that have and can lose your password is most of the risk with password reuse.

Companies aren't going to maintain separate user tables for every authenticated service that employees use. The alternative is to have each service handle passwords directly and pass them through to an LDAP server, or run their own SAML IdP with considerable difficulty.

At least an individual company's IdP doesn't have the "hack many companies at once" target on its back.
I wonder if it's actually machine learning or if they just implemented a query language that tries to guess what you mean.

The definition of machine learning that I use is: an algorithm which improves its performance through experience.

So, if charts doesn't get better the more you use it, it's not machine learning.
Sure, but how long do credit card transactions take?
Define "threatening". It's a slippery slope. Yeah, maybe "Allahu Akbar death to America" is an obvious one, but what about "Fuck Trump for pulling out of the Paris climate accord" - is that "anti-American"?
At this point a flat income tax rate would be more progressive at the top end than the current system, especially if you wrap in medicare and social security taxes. Maybe start with a flat tax and move from there.
reselling what I thought was going to hospitals, etc. to these literal vampires is not, ah, kosher with me.

Ok so... blood does have an expiration date, at which point the blood banks must throw it out. If the supply of donated blood is less than the demand of patients for the blood, then what's wrong with a company recouping their costs by selling almost expired blood to millionaires who don't need it? It didn't say anything in the article about how fresh the blood is, but if what I describe is what is going on, then I don't see the moral issue.
I actually don't have, and have never had, a facebook or twitter account. So, if I ever try to go to the US it's likely that that will be seen as "refusal to cooperate"? And I'm likely to be denied entry because of it?

Wow.
By that definition, your first comment was a meaningless tautology. If a "reasonable" fee is one that causes a transaction to be accepted, then your first comment can be rewritten as:

"as long as the transaction [will be confirmed within several days], you can be pretty sure that it will be confirmed eventually".
God, I work in an environment like that. We are a non-profit, and our primary CRM is The Raiser's Edge. However, data is never manipulated within The Raiser's Edge. Instead every process involves exporting data from The Raiser's Edge, manipulating it with an MS Office application, and then re-importing it.

When I started, almost every process was based around Access, using queries made using the query builder. With some basic scripting I managed to cut a couple of man-months of work down into about an hour or two of work a month. The entire thing is more fragile than a stack of cards though.

At this point I could literally write a 200 page dissertation on all of the reasons why this is a bad idea. But it works, and it is cheap. So there you go.
Ask HN: Going from employment, to implementing your own idea. How did you do it?
I have a great software engineering job that I enjoy and is reasonably well remunerated. However, I have a constant niggle of feeling that always putting my efforts into implementing someone else's ideas and requirements enriches them when I could be benefitting myself. In terms of background, I'm a good software engineer, but also have a degree in electronics (though I've not really used that knowledge in a while, the basics stick). When I see someone going off to do their own thing, I do feel a tinge of envy - even though my rational side understands that's not without risk, or if I'm even that positive about their idea.

The only thing I'm certain of is that whatever idea one pursues, it can't just be a made up requirement no-one wants. Also, I don't have delusions of grandeur (or at least try not to) - I think just making more than a salaried position seems a reasonable goal - doesn't have to be billions or even millions. Mostly I think it's to say "Here, I made this thing of value and I'm the one profiting from it". But how do you choose out of a constant flow of both software and hardware ideas? Do you go for the one you think has a higher barrier to entry?

So if you did this, how did you do it? Did you trial a few ideas? Did you go for a product or a service? Did you go for hardware or software?

throwaway account, because... I'm not quite sure. Somehow embarrassed.
Really nice piece of work :) I wonder if it wouldn't look even more juicy on white background? (found out that non-developers prefer white backgrounds, but that might be my personal experience only)

Mike Judge should own ten percent of this company, since the idea came out of his incubator.
The question to ask is why are the fees high? Because the demand for faster transactions is very high.

While this seems like a technical glitch to some, it is easily addressed using traditional finance techniques or via side chains.

Fees exist to incentivize miners to participate, and so "unreasonably high" fees should result in more miners participating and fees going down. Due to the scale of Bitcoin, adding non-trivially to the mining capacity takes a pretty massive investment, so we should expect a gradual correction.

Overall this is a good thing because it enhances the overall cryptosystem significantly while clearly signaling (via the price) what needs to happen.

While it is tempting to solve this technocratically, I'd argue that institutional stability (even if it seems a bit like calcification) is extremely valuable to the formation of long term incentives and risk-taking for the ecosystem as a whole.

I live near this area but only since 2010 so don't have the same history many others do.

That being said, I've never really understood the area of the West Village west of Seventh. As far as high end fashion stores go, Meatpacking for awhile a bit of a reputation for this but really it seemed to me that if you wanted this kind of fashion, that was what SoHo was all about (on Prince and Spring streets primarily).

Could it be that fashion has simply moved there? Was SoHo as big for this 10, 20, 40 years ago as it is now? This I don't know.

The areas of Manhattan aren't static, this much I know. Over the years the commercial heart, now in Midtown, has been drifting north (we're talking over 200+ years).

Now this part of the West Village does have reasonable proximity to what was the Fashion District (above 23rd). Could it be that the end of that textile industry is responsible for the shift?

Come to think of it, the restaurant culture downtown has probably been drifting east. Like I compare what's in the West village and food-wise at least the East Village is so much better. The West Village seems far more of a sleepy residential neighbourhood now in comparison.

Also remember that Williamsburg just across the East River has boomed in recent years, probably as people get priced out of the East Village.

So maybe that's it: people are simply priced out of the West Village?

I knew an Israeli guy at work who told me about gentrification in Tel Aviv. There's apparently some popular neighbourhood that's dead now as it's super expensive and the rich who buy there don't live there so it's dead. That's just what he said.

I come from Perth, Western Australia and can tell you that the lively areas of the city 20+ years ago have really changed. Northbridge is still there and still seedy. But Subiaco, once a lively cafe strip at nightspot, is now pretty dead.

Gentrification seems to be a bit like algae. It thrives on the "oxygen" of what makes these areas popular to begin with but ends up starving everything else out then itself.

But do we want to allow rich vampires to drive the price of blood up? It seems to me that maybe blood shouldn't be treated like a commodity which is driven by the market. Most people receiving blood are not exactly in a position to turn it down or shop around and so some technologists driving the price up to $8,000 is going to hurt you.

> "Self-reported improvements that scientists have been unable to replicate in clinical trials"

I'm not sure where this quote comes from or even if it's a quote, but over the last couple of years I often read about studies proving just what this controversial startup claims. Reversing aging in mice and better healing through younger blood. The ability to use pre existing stem cells through transfusions of "younger blood" and such. I'm not sure what to think of it especially since it was only tested on mice and I didn't check the credentials of the researchers, but a quick search turned up multiple hits:

I remember another article that I couldn't find right now, but claiming a non reproducibility seems wrong.

Again wouldn't go to this startup and think that many things are wrong here, but plausible at least.
I'm curious about how he measured bias and maybe I missed it in the paper. Anyway he threw out people who communicated via Gmail because they didn't show the same bias, which seems sketchy methodologically.

I'm all for privacy and the government not overstepping their bounds, but could someone please let me know why this is so bad? I'm genuinely curious.

Your social media info is Public. If you have information public, that is your own fault and the govt can access that regardless if you give them your handles or not. If they were asking for passwords and access to accounts - of course that would be a different ball game.

But simply asking for your handles (while you can easily say you don't have accounts) doesn't seem like too much of an intrusion to me.

Ask HN: An efficient way and problems to stumble upon, your tips for a new dev?
As a kid i always had the struggle of learning java(the only language i experimented with).

I seem to wanna get back into it and give it another try, so i'll go with java and python.

pretty sure we all stumble upon problems and boredom, especially in this area.

What tips would you give to a beginner to become an efficient developer?
What is described in the article and comments is the Japan I knew in the 1980s. Starting from the mid 1990s, I've heard a lot about how the changed economy caused business culture to shift significantly toward patterns of the West. Has Japanese business culture really not changed all that much?
That will fail on the first day. The likes of WSJ are not going to take that currency and people will not bother with 'digital wallets'.

Adaptation is the key to success. Something like that would be counterproductive.

The lack of a viable alternative is the pretty much definition of monopoly. Just because lots of people use something doesn't mean there is a monopoly.

Def:
"the exclusive possession or control of the supply or trade in a commodity or service."

Google has a very nice search engine but I personally fail to see how they control the supply enough to be considered a monopoly. Sure most people use them, but that is by choice. There are viable alternatives.
Exactly this. I dont like when people try to sell new things even though my use case is perfectly fine with the older solution. I understand the security implications, yet there more to this topic than just security.
At the beginning there were other, better options but Google Translate was still on top... Like IE on Windows: other were better, but IE was preinstalled...
Yeah, it's interesting because some alternatives like ZCash effectively solve this problem too, and provide full anonymity but they're fairly closely related and probably will get treated the same way by regulators in many places. Should be interesting to see what happens.

> Snowden took a stand. You do not.

You don't know about me and the stands I took. As for Snowden, this kind of illustrates the point. Snowden took a stand, but not a political stand. Not in the meaning of "political stories" some of us don't want to discuss on HN. Snowden leaked NSA surveillance program because he saw people actually doing something harmful to everyone else. He was dealing with cold, hard facts, not with opinions and party preferences.

Not at all. You're assuming first names and last names are independent.

For example, meet a 'Jones'. There's a good probability that his first names is 'Thomas'.

Meet a 'Thomas'. There's a low probability his last name is 'Jones'.

That's because 'Jones' is predominantly Welsh in origin, and 'Thomas' is a pretty liked given name in Wales. This of course would be more true in Wales than people of Welsh ancestory living far from Wales. And perhaps despite and because of the great singer Tom Jones, this combination may have fallen over the past few decades.

However, my family name is pretty location-specific in the UK, and even the diaspora of the name that went to places like North America tended to keep up traditional, albeit 2-3 centuries later.

Another example of non-independence would be a name like 'Ahmed' as given name and 'Zhang' as family name. 'Zhang' is an extremely common family name on a global scale, as is 'Ahmed' as a given name. However the possibility of 'Ahmed' and 'Zhang' overlapping as a combination is slim. Perhaps it could happen in Singapore or Malaysia, but then even 'Zhang' is probably converted to a Hokkian/Hakka/Cantonese equivalent spelling, which is not 'Zhang'. Given the scale of these names, I'm sure there 'Ahmed Zhang's knocking around, but probably not that many.

The great thing about statistics is it is about discovery, not assumptions.

And assuming everything is nice easy math, independent, or stochastic, is one of the greatest mistakes we can all make when looking at numbers.
Only if you accept ad providers are in charge of dictating morals and they are entitled to your money by default. Publishers can and should look for alternative monetization strategies.
Because in Europe, Google owns 90% of search. It's pretty much a monopoly. And one reason for that, probably the prime reason, is that they got in very early and in localized searches they're light years ahead of competition.
I agree. There is also siphash that we use.
It is impossible even with taxing everybody 100% and redistributing everything.

"Mainly taxing workers" provides the bulk of taxation revenues not because it is the easiest thing politically — it is because of where the money is. The money is in the middle class. The rich are too few, and the poor are too poor.
Doesn't taking an hour or more to confirm a transaction basically make bitcoin useless for any real-time transactions ( buying something at a shopping mall, buying fast food/coffee etc)

This makes bitcoin much less useful in my personal opinion.
I used to (ok, still do but I'm doing better) fill my browser bar with tabs I was planning on "getting to". Now, I have a bookmarks folder I can put them in with the same thought, I can come back to it later if I still care about it. Same as you, I really don't.
Another intrinsic problem with politics on HN:

A lot of the best posts on HN are narrowly specialized, so that apart from maybe asking questions, most HN commenters can't contribute much (but benefit from reading!).

But political arguments are available to every member of the site, no matter how specialized the story might be.

So we get situations like Amazon announcing Route 53, and the thread being hijacked with comments about how Amazon handled Wikileaks, or a new paper on measuring and mitigating statistical bias in machine learning algorithms hijacked with comments about political correctness.

Politics often literally prevents us from discussing technical stories, by forcing us to wade through banal political detritus to get to the comments that have anything to do with the technical issues.

One of them is about stealing money while the other one is about controlling your sources for information, products, and services that you apply to your everyday life. If anything, Google should pay more. They can either play by the rules the people give them or give up their monopoly on web search voluntarily. There is a reason we have antitrust laws.
Compare that to three banks who were fined only a sum of 485m euros. Laughable.

Hey Jeffnappi I'm very interested in these positions, I've worked with React at work on and off and personal projects. I have limited experience with Ruby on Rails, but do have experience with other MVC frameworks such as Larvel and Meteor.js. I have two years experience, but feel like I'm still more Junior than mid. Would you recommend me applying to the Junior position?

Also did you guys reuse the posts? The Junior position says it was created on 2015-08-18.
The point here is intent. Don't promote less than maximally accurate beliefs unless you hate someone so much you'd be willing to go and slash their tires.

Also, in terms of real-world consequences, sabotaging someone's thinking can be very, very much worse than just breaking their car.
No, it doesn't. SHA-2 is by an overwhelming margin the most popular hash used in cryptosystems today, and it is overwhelmingly used safely.

Seriously, if you care that much about the name, rename it; Even systems that use SHA-3 use HMAC (SHA-2 is perfectly safe, no matter what variant you use, in HMAC). Name the prefix MAC (an idiosyncratic construction) that uses SHA-2 something specific.

The SHA-3 advocates have already conceded this point. They don't call SHA-3's prefix MAC "prefix MAC"; they call it KMAC, which is a specific construction.

So all you have to accept is that there's SHA2MAC --- which, like KMAC, is not simply the hash function, but instead the optimal MAC construction built on the hash --- and then define it as the prefix MAC built from SHA2-512/256.
But instead they're written in Node with HTML and CSS as a UI. And honestly, for a text editor, that's a bit perverse. I want my editors fast and lightweight.
