Yeah, most people know "too dumb to know I'm dumb." The "too smart to know I'm smart" is less well known but it has a lot of implications.

For instance, highly skilled people will often underestimate the difficulty of a task for average skilled people, because they complete it with relative ease. It's effectively an overestimation of what "average" is, because they think of themselves as average when they're really not.

"Relative" is the key word here. Your natural high skill performer may think a task is difficult, but they don't necessarily find the same sources of difficulty as average people.
The 2 Most Important Tactics When Launching a Digital Marketing Campaign
I really hate when a recruiter sends a predefined message to me for a job. Most of the time my CV and the job description matches in a couple of keywords but I do not match for the job position at all. I see this tool as a way of fighting the recruiters spamming, now we can spam back them!

I also see this tool for first-time job application, I doubt it will work with a person with a lot of experience. Once you get experience in a field you know where to apply and it is not a numbers game anymore.

I've never gotten a job with a resume I didn't taylor for the job in question. Thoughtful tweaking is overwhelmingly the longest part of applying for any job. I've never found the 10 minutes (or so) of filling out the internet forms difficult.

Great book and great advice. Must be about 20 years since I tried this approach. Count me as a data point strongly supporting the use of vinegar to deal with dandruff.
>But the way Tim is framing this, they're looking at it as an AI problem. He doesn't go into the feel of driving or the wonderfully bad user interfaces of current cars, he describes it as "the mother of all AI projects." So while this is "something that's never been in [their] wheelhouse", they're approaching it from the AI side. And AI, given WWDC, is something they are very much trying to make their wheelhouse.

I agree, but I think their approach is flawed. A car is more than an AI with wheels and a seat. Tons and tons of engineering expertise goes into making a roadworthy car, and even more goes into making a truly good car.

Apple quite simply does not have automotive engineering experience, and the jump from computers to iPhones pales in comparison to the jump from consumer electronics to automobiles.

Cook has never struck me as a man with a vision. I think this is just Keeping up with the Joneses.
Right out of college, staffing firms were the way to go for me. Big companies seem to like hiring on a contract-to-hire basis because it avoids the unemployment risk if they hire somebody who isn't a good fit for some reason after the first 90 days.

I applied for companies directly and ended up getting the exact same job through a staffing firm instead. For getting in the door, it's a big help starting out.
Yeah I agree with you, Apple is only valuable as a computer company - they should have just stuck to computers. They should have never wandered off into making mp3 players and cell phones which are just toys for the rich.

Eh, "suppressor" is a term that became popular in reaction to the fact that anti-gunners took "silencer" too literally, but "silencer" is the more common and older term.
Because she made big PR how she will make yahoo new again and then did super tiny things thay changed the logo, made random acquisitions and removed remote workers, which will absolutely change a failing company.

I was expecting a new revolutionary product, a complete refocus of the company, such as Apple. She sure must have had this in her plan or she probably actually didn't.

Sounds to me like someone didn't know what they were doing instead of someone who really has a plan.
Partially, yes. The reactors currently under construction are third generation, as opposed to tested, proved and wildly successful second generation plants (plus tweaks and updates). There are of course many good (and even more really bad) reasons to prefer a new and unproven design over a slightly older proven one, and few of them unique to nuclear projects -- but massive unwarranted fear (including conflation with nuclear weapons) has been the defining narrative of nuclear between 30-40 years ago when we were perfectly capable of building nuclear projects and today.
Well, this is just my (and partially of my colleague) subjective opinion after spending a month working with it. Of course, that's due to change once I get enough mileage with it.
> For others, who have no useful connections, it's possible to make these connections by cold-messaging people on LinkedIn, especially alumni from your school.

This. If the job you're applying to pays >= 50k/year, you owe it to yourself to take 30 minutes or so before you apply and find a way to differentiate yourself and make a connection. Ideally you reach out to someone on the inside that you have a shared experience/interest with, but if you can't, just prepare a highly personalized cover letter explaining why you're excited about the position and a great fit for it. For a position with 50 applicants maybe 3 of them will have done this, and those 3 are likely the first ones to get called in for interviews.

Treating job applications like an indiscriminate numbers game is doing a disservice to yourself and the companies you apply to.
I've heard it said that if you send an application online, you're already screwed. Or, to put it another way: if the first person who sees your application is a computer or HR person, you're screwed.
While I was there I asked how the trees got so old (3000 - 5000 years), if it was a special kind of tree or what. The ranger told us that trees don't die of age, if they have roots, bark, and leaves, they can keep on going. It was the environment of that area that allowed the trees to grow live so long. It's relatively high elevation, so there are few bugs and other predators. The biggest threat they faced was from erosion, and wind taking the bark off over time. Absolutely awesome place.
No, I have never found myself on the receiving end of sexist slurs, say, in the last couple of years.

I think it's quite obvious that the term term "manspreading" has been coined in a feminist environment and that this inflammatory rethoric is typical of modern feminism. Do you need sources?

Credit card charge backs are a federal law created to protect consumer rights.

Steam's ToS are at odds with federal law in this respect as they say I have a 2 week / 1 hour window to get a refund.

Federal law says I have 60 days and then outlines under what conditions, but they are pretty broad.

Previously I purchased a software license for Gamemaker Studio Master Collection (directly from YoYo, not through Steam thankfully).

This was when Windows 10 was very new, but YoYo claimed it was supported. Turned out it had bugs with some configurations and so it was crashing on launch; completely unusable.

I opened a support ticket and was following up, but they had no idea how long it would take to fix it.

Next thing that happens is they drop the price from about $800 to about $400.

There I was, still unable to use the software and now it was 1/2 the price. So I contacted them again and said, "Look, it's been a month now and you still haven't fixed this and you dropped the price to 1/2 what I paid. I've been really patient, the least you can do is refund me the difference since I still can't even use the software."

They came back and said, "No it was $800 when you bought it you just have to wait until we get it fixed."

At that point I was super frustrated and replied back and said, "I'm done, just refund the entire amount and cancel my license."

YoYo's reply was that they don't give refunds under any circumstances and that it was plainly spelled out in the EULA.

So I called my credit card company and they did a charge back.

Circling back, now they sell through Steam and if this had happened Steam would ban my account and block me from ALL software I had ever purchased from them.

It's unethical and bordering on illegal that Steam takes retaliatory measures against consumers for excercising their consumer credit rights as provided by federal law.

Quite frankly Steam should be on the receiving end of a class action lawsuit.
I had this happen to me. Since I wasn't in Amsterdam, it was pretty clear that it was fraud of some sort. My credit card company handled everything and I canceled the card.

6 Important Lessons I Learned from Interviewing 26 Entrepreneurs
1) Believe in yourself, your idea, your people and understand that you are not alone in the startup world.
Start growing your network as soon as possible. These connections and acquaintances will pay off the moment you launch your product and the importance of knowing the right people will only increase over time. Be grateful to those who help you become a stronger person, your startup a better company.

2) There is always a room for improvement. You’ll have many ideas to make alive and give your clients the best possible experience and value for their money. Constant improvement is the key to creating a great product and making a change for a better future.

3) Content marketing IS a successful customer acquisition strategy!
(http://astartupaday.co/taskpigeon/)

4) Always bargain with online media when planning sponsored publications. If you can’t do it for free, try to bring down the price. As a rule, they are unreasonably high.
Don’t underestimate guerrilla marketing. If you master it and don’t spare time for it, later it will pay off in full, and you will get new customers almost for free.
Don’t forget about customer service. In SaaS it’s crucial to provide top-notch customer support, respect your users and sometimes over-deliver.

6) Have confidence in what you are doing, even if you are rejected by all 5 sharks of Shark Tank.
It will take twice as long as you'd hoped, cost exceedingly more than you'd ever budgeted and will be more challenging than anything you'll ever try but if you give it your all and refuse to give up, you can trust it will be the ride of a lifetime.
Be brave and follow your instincts. You can't cheat the grind, but if you give it your all, you can trust that the payoff will be worth it.

And Uber does not give a damn!

In 2015 my Uber account was hacked and 1k was taken from my bank account. Uber knew/knows about their users getting hacked and their PR was it's the users fault for using a bad password. Also then I tried to cancel my Uber account via their site but there is no option that lets the user do so only can be done by contacting/waiting for a support person to do so. It took them a few days to cancel my account.

Needless to say I loathe then for this reason followed by all their other horrid behavior!
a footnote about the Moto G and Verizon: some people who bought unlocked Moto G phones from a 3rd party (e.g. Amazon) have reported that 911 doesn't work properly with Verizon. dunno. maybe that's why Verizon doesn't sell it on their US website.
My department just finished a cycle of hiring developers. We could tell which applicants mass applied to jobs and used a generic cover letter. They are probably was just playing the numbers game. Since they didn't care enough to at minimum change or add one or two sentences to make the cover letter unique to our job posting, they didn't get far in our hiring process.
I have a Moto G, outright. It cost as much as a night out, and it works perfectly. It's got nearly stock Android, and the battery is good.

The camera is HORRIBLE, but the difference is not worth >$650 to me

You don't come here and kick the crap out of every man, but you happily do so to women and PoC:

This statement of yours is overtly sexist and racist.

"I am so sick of women and people of color being openly hateful to people who were born the "wrong" gender and color to be part of the unfortunate many."

Compare it to this version:

"I am so sick of people being openly hateful to people who were born the "wrong" gender and color"

I'm sorry you have suffered in your life, but that, and your Hacker News Karma score is not a license to make racist or sexist comments and not expect them to be rebutted.

You say that from your point of view there are 'sides' in this. It's clear which one you have chosen. It's actually not anyone else's duty to try to change that. If you don't like how you feel when people respond to what you say - that is your problem to solve.
This is a debate about morality, but one with real world consequences. I strongly believe some moral systems are superior to others.

In the moral system of the mid-19th century U.S. South, it was moral and right to have slaves. Human beings could be property. Similarly, in the communist and some socialist moral systems, it is evil and immoral for me to, say, start a company, and make millions of dollars of wealth. I have to share the fruit of my labor with other citizens of my country who did not work hard, and who might have spent the time I was toiling on my startup, playing video games and watching Netflix.

> you'll have to convince us it's not in our interest to do so

Absolutely not. As long as your self-interest doesn't violate the rights of others, I fully respect. But the moment you want to oppress my freedom, for the sake of your self-interest, I say fuck you self-interest. I don't need to convince you of anything. Why?

* Your same repugnant self-interest argument was used by slave owners. It wasn't in their self-interest to lose their free labor. It was economic disaster to relinquish slave labor. To quote, the Mississippi Declaration of Secession, it was "the greatest material interest of the world", c.f. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_missec.asp

* You have no right to dictate to me that I can only associate with you (i.e. whether in employment, friendship, marriage etc). I should be free to hire any one from any country as I see fit. Immigration restrictions are oppressive and immoral, c.f. https://openborders.info/

* If I started a company, and made large amounts of money, and you decided to play video games and watch Netflix all day long while I toiled day and night, then you have no fucking moral right to live on money stolen by taxing the income of hard-working people like myself.

Frankly, I am under no obligation to convince you that you should not oppress my freedom, and threaten me with violence, to further your self-interest.

I believe in absolute objective morality. I don't think there are multiple "fair/just" moral frameworks. I reject the moral framework that upholds slavery. I think communist (and some socialist) moral systems are evil and wrong. Similarly, I think the immigration laws of most countries in the world are objectively immoral, evil, and wrong.

Try to live without violating the rights and freedoms of the others. Thanks.
It's a metaphor...the authors' point is that hour in do not equate to value out. An engineer can develop a solution worth tens of thousands of dollars to a company in just a day, by merely automating tedious tasks.

This is more of a thought piece than anything.
You can justify it, of course. But when comparing it to other free things out there, eg letsencrypt or as OP said npm for package management or editors like vscode and you still have to take into consideration that some integration time is still needed then keygen.sh feels very very expensive.

Wow, I'll take a look. Looks awesome! This particular dataset was very small because the agency which did the data collection aggregated everything into neighborhoods before they gave it to me. So, performance hasn't been a problem at all yet. We'll be tackling some larger datasets soon, so we'll see!
If you're tempted to use space filling curves (z-curves, hilbert curves, etc.) you should take a look at simple multi-dimensional data structures as an alternative.

As a couple of people have mentioned in this thread, space filling curves aren't great at preserving locality (i.e., two points that are "close together" in two dimensional space might end up being "far apart" in one dimensional space, and vice versa). A k-d tree is easy to code up and, in general, will be more efficient for queries like k-NN than dimensionality reduction because it's better at preserving locality.

There are also good libraries for multi-dimensional data structures for pretty much any mainstream language.
No, saplings don't run away. But sometimes people don't either, especially when they're getting ready to shoot.

We agree that both machetes and guns are dangerous. But I'm arguing that a machete can be more dangerous than a handgun, in the hands of a trained attacker.

I was quibbling with the "physically work quite a bit" aspect of your comment.
Hmm, I'm all for Apple's entry into the autonomous car sector. The more players the better in my opinion. Autonomous cars have the promise to reduce congestion, asthma rates, and lives lost to car crashes and they'll be a tremendous boon to major metropolitan areas when they're ready for full scale deployment.

Apple's the richest company in the world and it seems like they are actually focusing a bit on the MacPro and some of the other pro offerings power users need.

I'm also confident with the amount of money they have, they can certainly do both.
single schema was discussed before. the idea behind it is that it's a simple mental model (what's in the api schema is accessible to http) so it catches errors like exposing things you don't want to especially since the webdev community is not very big on strict database permissions per role.

One trick though, if you specify the schema as an empty string "" then entities in the query will not be fully qualified, so this will give the search_path the ability to do it's work

It's not feasible to test in any practical way.

Dude, you are willfully ignoring my point. The discussion is about metrics such as bugs fixed, features shipped, and commits pushed. The sentence you are fixated on is entirely beside the point.
When the constitution was written, repeating rifles existed. Lewis and Clark took one on their famous expedition.[0] Owning cannons was legal, and people did. During the American Civil War, wealthy men outfitted their own company of men and led them. American history has some crazy stuff in it. Private ship owners acting as privateers, for instance. My (lawyer) wife dearly wants a "letter of marque"[1] ever since she found out what they are in maritime law class.

> Given the comparatively low quality of Markdown (as a language)

Markdown stresses ease of readability. I don't find the language low quality at all, just limited. Limited isn't necessarily bad, depending on its purpose.

> isn't GitHub the only reason why Markdown gets pushed so much?

Reddit's use seems to significantly predate Github, and I would say reaches a far greater audience. Unique users visiting in April 2017 is 1.285 billion[1]. Some fraction of that is probably unique people (given anonymous desktop and mobile usage), but given how large the number is, I imagine it's still a very large number.

> If GitHub chose AsciiDoc instead of Markdown as their base, we would be in a better position now.

I agree that Github would be in a better place now, but I don't think that would really have changed anything for anyone else. Even if you want to make a case that Github would have influenced programmers who would have then used it in other projects, I think you need to account for Stack Overflow also. I think it was arguably much more popular and used by a far wider audience than Github for a long time (and may still be, I'm not sure).

Markdown was used widely because it was simple, and users would actually bother to learn and remember the very few options they had. People are more used to it now, and at this point, sure, they might accept something more complex (especially if it built on the rules they already internalized), but I don't think we can blindly assume they would have accepted something more complex.
