It is an important life skill, cannot be denied.

However, I cannot stop noticing that all the worst traits of the software industry start with the talented professionals amoungst us "caring less" about their jobs; and then the bozos running the show are free to go around wanking their minds and fucking up everything for everyone. If you ask the authors of every monstrosity out there, they will claim the Nuremberg defense, pennies to peanuts!
This is very funny but at the same time it hurt my butt that I had to provide them ad revenue by watching this mess...

That's the wrong comparison. S-expression don't compete with natural language any more than C does. S-expressions compete with JSon and XML. And IMHO they win hands-down.
What you describe is lean management applied to the construction industry. I'm certain that it is possible but I've never heard of it being practiced. Possibly by Broad Sustainable in Chiba.
> We have no way of knowing for certain if he acted that way because of her gender. Saying this is sexism is pure speculation.

It isn't speculation, and why he acted the way he did is completely irrelevant. Sexism is a quality of a (social) situation where women's power is diminished compared to men. It doesn't have to be nefarious or intentional.

> To brand someone as sexist is very damaging to their reputation.

No, it isn't. We're all sexist. To brand someone as misogynistic may be damaging.

> That women in general suffer from a power imbalance is no excuse for attacking a persons reputation with no strong evidence.

No one here was attacked. The moderator did something sexist, as we all sometimes do. It happens. The only way to fight sexism is to point it out. I understand that the moderator must have been embarrassed by being called out, but we should all learn to be less sensitive about such things.

Cheaper, and more terrible. Medicaid is not something anybody wants and in many ways is worse than the ER as a measure of last resort for acquiring care.

Medicare on the other hand is much better, though still not all that great (it's better than private insurance in many if not most cases). It is universal coverage for folks over a certain age in this country. There aren't any good reasons I've seen to not lower that age to 0 (i.e. covered from birth).

Indeed, but they are already printing a label for every parcel, and they used barcodes long before NFC tags was a thing. They already have hardware and tooling in place for it, so unless NFC will save them a significant amount of money it makes no sense to switch.

Think of a stockroom. When you get new inventory, you put on an NFC tag on every item, and then you have to register each which is just one sweep. With QR/barcodes you either have to register and then print and put on the items, or you have to scan each individually after.

Both NFC and QR have strengths and weaknesses. I'm certain that we will see both utilized more and more.
One simple trick I used when in the same situation, was to train myself to block all work-related thoughts. - "Stop! Does it help my thinking of work? No. Then stop." In the beginning you have to learn that you are actually thinking of work right now, so to adopt a pattern of blocking. Later, it gets easier.
If we react like this about transgenic flowers, imagine the reaction to transhumanism, when cybernetic implants, CRISPR genome editing and human cloning all converge.

That depends on where you live, but also your income. If you don't have the cash, Medicaid wins no matter what. A ACA plan with a co-payment that you don't have is worthless.

Agreed, there could be people outside of the top 5% who have loan payments, and those from families earning more than $200,000 who decided not to pay the full amount.

With this pledge, maybe MIT can bump up the free tuition level for those from families earning under $80,000 to $125,000 like at Stanford. The number is somewhat arbitrary and depends on the sliding window of tuition rate. After all for well-endowed, prestigious schools, tuition is unhinged from services received / amount of spending per student.
I think the important part is to understand, that you are in charge for bringing those emotions from work back home.
Yeah, we are working on an improved demo (along with transitioning the stock advisor from python to our web app).

I personally use it to identify how experts feel about a given product, then compare to what the main stream media things + the stock market. One of the most interesting examples of this, was I saw a spike of positive sentiment regarding AMD in early 2016. I then invested some money because the experts felt their new architecture could compete with Intel. That sentiment just continued to build until release, at which point I held a ton of stock.

As for Uber, believe it or not, there actually is a ton of positive sentiment. Even though there is a lot of negative discussion here on HN generally, it targets "experts" i.e. people who appear to discuss uber in depth and/or have insider knowledge. Those people believe uber is doing relatively well (at least in 2016 - the demo data).

Now, it's a bit more mixed when looking at sentiment, with a solid negative net promoter score[1].

The account posted Also, it's my pleasure to say "fuck you, Mike Isaac" before editing that out when another user objected. That's obviously uncivil. But in this case the larger problem is that it's (more or less) a single-purpose account for getting into flamewars about Uber. That's not how this site is supposed to be used.

Edit: We'd be happy to unban you as well if you'd simply promise to be civil in the future. One of the tentacles of my "agenda" is personally unkilling your high-quality technical comments so HN readers can enjoy them. It would be nice if we could just publish them in the first place.
yup. bang and then silence, and then maybe after a stunned pause the wails/groans of any surviving wounded.
> The gp just gave evidence of structural sexism against a group.

No, he mentioned things that happen to men[1]. That is not sexism any more than a rich man's illness is called "poverty". He may be sick; he may be miserable; he may be worse-off than just being poor -- but his condition is still not called poverty.

> Saying that "life is unfair" when one group suffers, while rushing to the defense of the other group is hypocrisy and clearly a double standard.

But sexism isn't about suffering; it isn't about taking offense; it isn't about unhappiness or general unfairness. It's an imbalance of power. I'm not rushing to anyone's defense, just explaining what sexism is. Sexism is not the only bad thing in the world, nor is it the worst, but it is what it is.

What is interesting to me is why is it when we discuss such an important issue, others find it necessary to point out that there are other problems, too. We know there are. But now we're talking about sexism.

[1]: Some of them are because men have more power.
If it was testing it wasn't just this test. The exposure appears to be minimal.
So Amazon has followed the footstep of Microsoft. I wonder if Google will ever do the same to Google Drive (unlimited storage for Google Apps users)
Maybe you were still in middle school but there was a time when the web was dead and IE killed it. Mozilla and Apple resurrected the web.

Apple famously refused to allow Flash on iOS and in doing so single-handedly did more to push HTML5 standards than anyone else. I'll also point out that WebRTC has gone through numerous iterations to such a degree that a lot of WebRTC sites don't work with Safari 11 because they're using old non-standards-compliant variants of the API.

The typical HN web dev seems to load their site in Chrome, click around a bit, and call it a day. That's not healthy for standards or the web, but it sure is lazy and expedient for a very narrow group of people.

Chrome is not the web.
Yes, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=14355444 was uncivil and we warned you about it. In my experience, users that continue to make personal attacks after we ask them not to don't have much desire to use HN as intended (which involves, among other things, being respectful to others). If we've misassessed that in your case, it should be easy enough to clear up. I explained how upthread.
> Medicaid is not something anybody wants

Tell that to the people in states with Republican governors who won't expand Medicaid to cover them...

> in many ways is worse than the ER as a measure of last resort for acquiring care

What are you talking about? If you are in an emergency and on Medicaid you can go to the ER[1]. ERs give great care, they are just expensive. Medicaid is not expensive, so if their patients are getting ER quality care that is an amazing deal.

[1] https://www.medicaid.gov/medicaid/cost-sharing/out-of-pocket...

Not only can you go, you won't be charged unlike almost all private insurance plans.

> Out of pocket costs cannot be imposed for emergency services, family planning services, pregnancy-related services, or preventive services for children.
> My guess is that Amazon had more datahoarders than average-joe users

I would further speculate that plex users were the largest single group of offenders. seemed like a cat and mouse game for a while -- amazon started comparing hashes of files to known bootlegs and banning accounts, so everyone started using encfs, and later migrated to the unlimited plan from google apps. I guess google's the only game in town, now.
Very happily my hometown of Cambodunum is there, feeling strangishly proud. Sadly in 125AD we we're no longer a capital of Raetia, lost that to Augusta Vindelicorum.
As a non-native speaker, I find Grammarly pretty handy.
TL:DR - the way to combat rising costs is to constrain the supply of capital.

This isn't going to work. Infrastructure contractors will just turtle up and say that it can't be done at the lower price. Lowest-bid mechanisms are intended to harness Adam Smith's invisible hand, but aren't working as intended.

The essay touches upon two distinct points:
a) the private developer cared deeply about how his money was spent, but the public developer did not
b) general incompetence of public management, by misunderstanding how contractors manipulated costs to reach their estimates and establishing perverse incentives

The way you typically solve this kind of problem, at least in the private sector, is to set up a way for the manager to personally earn a fraction of what he saves the organization - the organization still saves a lot of money overall, even after paying the bonus. But if you bring up the concept of performance-based pay for public employees, you find massive opposition - both from a public worried about corruption and graft, and from public employees themselves, many of whom were drawn to public work in the first place specifically because of the stability and security of a public paycheck.

That's when you understand that what really needs to be talked about is a culture change in public work culture, and when you understand that, you understand just how high the mountain is that needs to be surmounted.
And I disagree.
In the case of healthcare it's not because of American values directly, it's because the entire conversation has been framed in a way so the majority of Americans don't even understand what the possibilities are and the debate is entirely centered around a series of fantasy narratives put forth by lobbyists for the status quo.

I mean the whole conservative argument about the value of the free market for moderating health care costs is completely blown up by the most cursory look at the value you get for private health insurance in the UK due to the fact that they have to compete with free. But there's no attention span in the political debate to put forth an argument like that because it doesn't align with an established narrative and therefore can be triggered by a sound-bite-sized emotional appeal. You need a years-long strategy and talking points to chip away at it, but the people with the knowledge and facts to do so are not good political strategists, and the people with the time and inclination to do so all have vested interests in the current system.

This may be the most click-baity article title ever and I absolutely love it. The actual article lived up to the hyped up title. So completely fascinating. I've sent the article to everybody in the family to see if they have orange petunias growing in their yards!

The one thing the article didn't cover is the patent violation implications of the GM plants growing (and probably being breed for seed-for-sale crops). I'd bet that these particular flowers have patents underlying GM modifications. I found a newer flower color patent with a single google search.

Vatican is organizing the first ever hackathon in the Holy City
Was forwarded this today -- such a forward thinking team.

*

Vatican is organizing the first ever hackathon! The two day event will take place on 17-19 November 2017, in Rome, under the auspices of the Holy See.

We are recruiting a team of volunteers (students and young professionals) to help organize the event. The team will work remotely, preparing the event from June to November, and then help during the hack in November (weekend). The workload is expected to be in the range of 8 – 12 hours a week. Team members will have an opportunity to create a unique event on a global scale, as well as interact with the high officials of the Catholic Church, during the event.

Applicants are required to have organizing or project management skills; hackathon experience (ideally as organizers, but participation will also be accepted), as well as knowledge of catholic values. All work will be conducted in English.

While it is likely that the travel and stay in Rome will be covered for the organizing team, this cannot be guaranteed at this point. Work is fully voluntary.

In order to apply, please send your CV along with short answers to the following questions:
1) Why would you like to organize the Vatican Hack?
2) What skills and experience would you contribute to the organizing team?
3) Which area would you like to work in: corporate partners, media and PR, university cooperation and participants care, event logistics

Please send the applications to: VaticanHack@gmail.com, before 10:00pm EST on 13th June 2017.

Kind Regards,
Vatican Hack Organizing Team
I second a lot of the things here, including regular therapy, self care, and thinking about whether another job would be better. You might also consider a job-specific coach who will help you figure out how to solve workplace issues before you hit "murderous".

But one other thing that works for me is long walks. I walk until I'm no longer angry, and then I turn around and walk back. Eventually, I get worn out, both on the topic and physically.
Indeed: inc.com are blocked from my facebook feed and exist on a sort of mental blacklist of sites I ordinarily never visit due to their terrible user experience and vacuous content. Still, a great example in this instance.
That is why in every country that has single payer there are additional coverage plans that allow you to have even better coverage... and it's still cheaper!
See Canada, Australia, England, Germany, Japan... well, basically everywhere else.

What is really amazing is that it also returns Emergency Rooms back into a place where you go in an emergency so you can actually get treatment in 15min rather than wait for a few hours at 3am as you drip blood on the floor through the towel you've wrapped your arm in, and watch in horror as the lady next to you screams and shakes on the floor as she passes kidney stones (yes you would recognize the world renowned hospital where this happened).
> Cheaper, and more terrible. Medicaid is not something anybody wants and in many ways is worse than the ER as a measure of last resort for acquiring care.

So here is what I do not understand. Why does the US not do what many European nations do and split healthcare into two problems? You have a few large insurance pools (single payer for lack of a better term) that is government run, mandatory participation and that covers emergency care and basic health services. And then separately to that you run a free market private healthcare system that sits on top of that governmental system and covers the better care?

It's absurd that insurance companies in the US pay for everything. The cost do not add up for me as a customer. I do want choice in the non life threatening cases but I sure as hell do not want to ever have money concerns when it's really critical.
Yeah that is a good point trying to separate analysis from database.

My work is going opposite direction unfortunately we are starting to use Hadoop makes it quite difficult to do things "outside of the database" there is just too much data to work with locally.

What happens after death? Do you simply cease to exist? What happens to your mind and soul? I'm not a religious person but sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night thinking about this. It's such a weird feeling when you think deeply about it.

I generated an excel file from the ERP system, then using that file as input, I outputted different excel worksheets for the different crews.

As a complete aside, you might be surprised how far you can go with Excel these days. Do you know it has a built-in in-memory columnar database now? You can have millions and millions of rows of data in there that you can use in tables and charts completely independently of the size of the grid. Pull back a huge chunk of data from the DB and slice and dice it to your heart's content locally.

I look at people buying expensive "business intelligence solutions" and I think, it's right there on your PC all along and you don't even know it...
Why do I have a feeling that some disclosure law is not going to suddenly make people not be greedy?

It's one of those laws that make it look like you did something, while doing nothing.

The new government is right to get rid of it - it's pointless and will help nobody.

Now if you made a law that made commissions completely illegal (in finance, insurance, and other similar areas) - that would do something.

Sorting a dataset in order to draw k samples is completely nuts. Pick k random integers between 1 and N, rerolling any duplicates.

Is your data a stream? Use reservoir sampling for O(n) vs O(n log n).

Sorting a collection of values in order to sample from it doesn't make any sense.
Each EMALS flywheel unit stores 121 MJ.[1] This is roughly the energy in a gallon of gasoline.

Here's a big ultracapacitor bank, from Maxwell. This one is intended for temporary energy storage for buses, trucks, and trains, so it can take some banging around.[2] Capacity is 144 Watt-hours, or about half a megajoule. Weighs 64Kg, not including fans. So it would take about 250 of those units to equal one flywheel unit, for a weight of 16 metric tons.

The flywheel unit weighs about 11 metric tons. So using ultracapacitors increases weight, but it's not out of the question. Might be simpler. If the system were being designed today, it might well be capacitor-powered. No moving parts, unit-replaceable if damaged, and low-maintenance.

The EMALS system doesn't actually need 121MJ to launch.[3] Each launch uses maybe a quarter of that. Apparently the idea is to have enough energy stored for several launches on several catapults.

(A Marx generator is a setup for getting a high voltage at low current, by charging capacitors in parallel and then switching them to series. They're useful for powering some physics experiments and for making big sparks. The Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago used to have a big one, their old "Million Volt Lightning Generator". Not useful in this application.)
