He is at liberty to be very selective about who contributes to the kernel, and how they do it. He's blunt, picky and pragmatic, but he has a valid point from the compsci and project management point of view:

> I happen to believe that not having a kernel debugger forces people to think about their problem on a different level than with a debugger. I think that without a debugger, you don't get into that mindset where you know how it behaves, and then you fix it from there. Without a debugger, you tend to think about problems another way. You want to understand things on a different _level_.

>It continues to do well with non-perishable items.

I've tried a bunch of different grocery delivery services (Seattle area) and Amazon Fresh is far and away the best of them. I stuck with Safeway for four months and literally every single time they delivered an order, there was a problem with the order. Every single week! There was always something missing (not even obscure stuff - once they claimed to be out of bananas, for example) and the packaging was terrible - just getting the bags from my front door to the kitchen often let to something falling out and breaking.

Amazon Fresh does things very, very well. They show up on time, almost never have a stocking issue and the packaging is very well designed - the frozen stuff is packed with dry ice, the cold stuff with an ice pack and the rest are packed into reinforced paper bags that are sealed to prevent stuff falling out en-route. It takes only moment to move everything into my kitchen and I've never had something break en-route.

Customer support is much better too - every time my order was missing an item, I'd have to call Safeway and often I simply couldn't reach someone (especially outside of 9-5).

Grocery stores need to up their game quickly or they will go the way of Sears and K-Mart.
My take away from the ride sharing mania is that cities have woefully under invested in small scale public transportation. Instead of a few 40-80 person buses that stop at every stop, you need a large fleet of 10-20 person buses. And larger buses need to be express buses.

If we could calculate the perfect model architecture for all unseen data, without relying on evaluation/experimentation/heuristics, then we'd have effectively solved the halting problem.

Mathematically, closest to that would be Hilbert's program.

Though neural nets can paint like Van Gogh nowadays, asking them to come up with Hilbert's program may be a bit too much of an ask. Yet I would not deeply mind if researchers would revisit papers like http://www.ics.uci.edu/~rickl/publications/1996-icml.pdf "On the Learnability of the Uncomputable".

Well, as I said, the system is not perfect, which is why there are several paths for "late bloomers" to make it to university. I myself got sorted into Hauptschule, but after a year my grades improved and I switched to Realschule, got a diploma, went to a Fachgymnasium and enrolled in university.

It seems to be a discussion board internet meme.

for me it's the ability to publish my blog to a static set of html files (and have pretty-printed source code). The other thing I love is the agenda: having a set of files spread apart (I keep 3: personal, work, random) and add todos in there as part of free text, and be able to keep track of them in a centralized place is priceless.

I also use those files as a journal, tagging them and searching later is very easy and a great way to document things (for personal purposes).
“So variable and inconstant a system”: rereading the anarchism
I had a macbook pro from 2011 that I got rid of this year, when I bought it 2G of memory was normal and 500G mech hard drives were also normal.

That thing has a 512G SSD and 8G of ram now, which is definitely reasonable, but I think 2G of ram and 5.4k/RPM drives are not reasonable in 2017.
Apparently KFC doesn't get challenged on Hacker News because they are "mistreating their workers," yet Amazon does. I'm tired of arguing with people like you.

Semantics aren't silly in science, nor in education. I don't think it's so uninteresting as to be worthy of ridicule. It is not, in fact, obvious to the layperson that the Jupiter-Sun System would have a barycenter that doesn't lie inside the mass of the sun. The casual mental model (and all physical models I've ever seen) of the solar system we all share puts a metaphorical or mechanical axis through the center of the sun, around which we all the revolve.

Gosh, I need to reread Friday. It's been ages.
- “The public and scholarly community owes a great debt to not only the remarkable effort and perseverance of literally generations of State Department historians and the [History] Office’s leadership, but also their collective commitment to historical accuracy and transparency,” said Prof. Immerman.

Bullshit. You either take a job, or you don't. Nobody is holding a gun to your head. Nobody forced you to live where you do. Nobody forced you to choose a place to live that doesn't have opportunities. I've moved to half a dozen different states to get a better job, because I realized, like any reasonably decent person, that you can't expect others to improve your own situation. You need to take charge of your own life, and improve it, if you want to.
Also, I cannot think of a software technology that was created & shared by Amazon.
The charge of involuntary manslaughter seems odd; it was deliberate action, sustained over an extended period of time so not an act in the heat of the moment, with the clear and unmistakable intent of causing death which did lead to death.

If suicide doesn't break the legal chain of causation (which was a necessary legal theory for even a involuntary manslaughter charge and conviction), then it seems to be clear-cut first-degree murder.
You don't work 8 hours straight as a 100% Remote Catfish.

You use Toggle or some stopwatch like an athlete does to time everything.

My hours a day as a Catfish takes me until 8pm to finish or later (walk my dog, cash rent cheques from tenants, make lunch, pomodoro breaks, yoga/workouts). Sometimes it burns into my "weekend".

But every day is the "same", and I wouldnt have it any other way. Expect all your billable time to be tracked, scrutinized and be able to fully back all tradeoffs and progress.

Thank God I don't need to groom and dress for my boss and commute to some open office plan where people constantly come up to your desk. Fuck that.
>While you and the sources you link to are generally correct, you should probably disclose your relationship with Linode when you make these comments -- namely that you were involved with, and successfully prosecuted for, one of the more serious of the five.

I was successfully prosecuted for hacking coldfusion things in general, that list included Linode and over 50000 others. There was a pending investigation relating to Linode specifically, but I'm pretty sure that's hit the statute of limitations and can only assume that there's no intent to prosecute.

>Reading your comment with that context changes it slightly

You're right, it does. I considered linking directly to https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=10845278 but figured I could deliver the information in a more concise manner, without quoting myself.

I made a mistake in not immediately clarifying my relationship here.

>given that since said prosecution you've taken every opportunity to speak negatively about Linode that you can

Since long before that actually.

>And yes, I know the key passphrase that you never recovered, despite your public assertions to the contrary.

What are you referring to? The credit card decryption key? I assure you we most definitely got that, if you want I might be able to dig up old IRC logs from police documents with plaintext credit card information of several linode customers. Jennifer Emick, Robert "xnite" Whitney and Ryan Cleary as I recall.
Thank you!!! That's great to hear

> I was successfully prosecuted for hacking coldfusion things in general, that list included Linode and over 50000 others.

This is a significant exaggeration, but I'm not going to dox you. Suffice to say, I'm reading your case as we speak, so stop trying to mislead people. (Good luck with that visa.)

> What are you referring to? The credit card decryption key? I assure you we most definitely got that

Then name it. I have the one that protected the key you retrieved memorized on account of my duties (I had to enter it every time I restarted the application), and they've changed it since then, so it's a no-op. It's not brute forceable even by nation states, so you'd have had to extract it by means your entry vector did not give you. Hash it in your reply if you want.

I've always suspected you had former employee help, and I'm pretty sure I know not only exactly who, but also their motive for assisting you and "HTP". If you do have the passphrase to that key, I can almost promise it was from your assistance. I eagerly await your reply, since the passphrase is a sentence, and once you know it the gist of it is easily communicable without consulting logs.
Among the nation’s less-educated people — those with a high-school-equivalency diploma — the smoking rate remains more than 40 percent..

This fits what I have always heard: That education is more predictive of smoking than income. I am homeless, as are my two adult sons. We do not smoke. I have about six years of college.

Some random thoughts, in no particular order and not backed up by citations:

Smoking helps control depression. One anti-depression medication has a shockingly high side effect of causing people to stop smoking.

Smoking suppresses appetite. I strongly suspect this is one of the reasons that so many homeless people smoke: Because they sometimes don't eat for up to three days at a time.

Smoking also seems to be common in certain situations where it is the only stress relief. Many years ago, I volunteered at a homeless shelter in Vacaville, CA. All the employees seemed to smoke. They had enormous difficulty giving it up because there was nothing else to do on their breaks but either smoke or sit with co workers and talk, who were themselves smoking.

If you want to combat this, trying to education the least educated peoples is probably a better path than framing it as a poor vs rich thing. Poverty grows out of lack of education, but some very educated people don't have much money for various reasons.

I run the San Diego Homeless Survival Guide in part because I am convinced that good information is sorely lacking and is a genuine means to start solving the difficult problems of the poorest of the poor in the U.S.

First, thank you for your question. You are not the only one with the same doubt. Probably it means we need to craft a better definition for TechLeaks.org

The difference between Glassdoor and TechLeaks is that Glassdoor reviews are broad and targeted to all kind of audiences. There's a lot of noise from sales, marketing and other departents making reviews and there's no specific info relevant to software engineering.

Techleaks is different than glassdoor because it just targets software engineers. The reviews hosted in TechLeaks are related to questions software engineers always ask in their job interviews. For example:

What is the Agile maturity in the project?
Can you choose the computer flavour?
Do you get free tickets for dev conferences?
What's the level of CD/CI ?
Oh my God! What a list.

It is often called "Fıstıklı Sarma" (rather than dolama).

Güllaç..oh my. What a delight. You probably know, it is usually available in Ramadan - it is about the time now. There are very few places that make it outside of Ramadan. (p.s.: I know one)

I guess I'd choose "Kaymaklı Künefe" as my favourite from your list. But there are some others that are not on the list. Let me write them down as suggestions: Kıbrıs Tatlısı, Dondurmalı Irmik Helvası and Ayva Tatlısı.

By the way, Çifte Kavrulmuş Lokum is the Lokum as far as I know.

Smaller / thinner / lighter / more ubiquitous / more unbundled.

Historically you sit down in front of a computer which bundles compute, display, and kb/mouse input all together. Laptops are variants on that. The last decade's growth in new form factors (phone, tablets, watch, AR/VR, voice, even cloud) are on a path to take over many of the jobs traditionally handled by a 'computer', so my point was just that we shouldn't be too wedded to our existing idea of form factors. I love my big monitors but I'd actually prefer a VR headset, something 1/10th the size or less.
And what was his caloric intake? Virtually every eat only X diet is based on the fact that the portions combined with the limitation on ingredients limit the caloric intake by as much as half. These diets work pretty well on overweight people since their BMR tends to be quite high due to their body mass.
I would really like to see the person that eats 3-4 500g rib eyes with a sunny side up on the side topped with half a stick of butter a day for a year that some how still gets a clean bill of health.

On the other hand eating lean red meat (<5% fat), egg whites and a bit of butter for fatty acids is a completely different story but then the initial premise is misleading.

That said unless you get a ton of fiber supplements daily I wouldn't bet on having comfortable bowel movements on that diet.
Walgreens without a pharmacy is like a gas station store without gasoline pumps.
I was under the impression that most software houses and tech startups migrated to Slack or similar group messaging long ago, which offers much better handling of attachments and collaboration. Email is still heavily used in government, mostly on Exchange servers, and I can see attachments being a big thing there (I work for local government and that's our setup). In the home consumer world, it's nearly all iMessage/Hangouts/SMS/WhatsApp etc.

Again, these are my observations and perhaps my window isn't big enough.
It looks like overall things are getting worse as we "upgrade".
Honestly, forget it. The point I'm trying to make is that nobody owes you a handout or an easy job. The fact that I've worked brutal fast food jobs for $3.35 an hour, yet you don't see KFC, McDonalds, Taco Bell, etc, being trashed here for terrible working conditions, while AMZN is, speaks volumes.

Today has taught me that HN has a pretty fierce anti AMZN bias, and it shows. I have 4K+ karma, and am sharing my honest opinion and experiences working for AMZN for the last year. Next time, I just won't participate. This community has gone downhill pretty seriously in the last few years... No big loss.
I started using the AutoMute extension to automatically mute newly opened tabs and very rarely notice auto play videos. I guess I don't find the video as distracting as the audio.
The 29 words is from a legacy mistake. It's 32 bytes of entropy plus 6 bytes of checksum. We had originally only wanted 16 bytes of entropy and 6 byes of checksum, but the types we had were all 32 bytes. We implemented it initially with 32 bytes and shipped before rewriting it.

It's been like that for almost 2 years now, and while 29 is a lot, you aren't going to memorize 17 words either.

The checksum is 6 bytes, and a laptop can verify maybe 100,000 tries per second. So checking for a mistake of 1 word out of 29 will take you maybe 0.5 seconds. 2 words will take 6.5 hours.

If you find one that matches the checksum, it would take maybe 30 minutes on an SSD to scan the blockchain and realize that it's the wrong seed even though the checksum is correct.

But at 6 bytes of checksum, you'd be unlikely to bump into an incorrect but valid seed having just 2 words incorrect.

These seeds are used precisely because they are easier to distinguish than alphanumeric randomness. In this case, 'ionic' and 'tonic' ended up being an unlucky word pair, but we will swap out the word 'tonic' for 'tonsil' I think and that should fix the confusion. (The library only reads the first three characters, so there will be no compatibility issues with this change)
