> It's 30-40% of the population that opposes the token non-solutions that have been proposed by liberal governments.

The primary solution (emissions trading) is a conservative solution, not a liberal one. Reagan and Thatcher introduced the Montreal protocol (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Montreal_Protocol) to limit CFC emissions. Bush senior introduced the Acid Rain Program (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acid_Rain_Program) to limit sulfur emissions.

Aside from that, if the conservatives would like to propose a new solution then I and most other people are all ears, but all we seem to get is denial that the problem exists.
Guitars that are substantially different in terms of construction or components do sound different from each other. However, electric guitarists have access to a tremendous variety of tools to alter their sound, so the differences in the basic sound of the guitar might be dominated by effects pedals or choice of amp and gain/EQ settings, or just simple things like which pickup you're using or how close to the bridge you pluck the strings.

>"However for this company, I applied online, they sent me a InterviewStreet/HackerRank coding test, and only after I passed that did a recruiter call me"

This is a huge red flag in my opinion and I would recommend people not agree to this. Why? Because it shows complete disregard for the candidate. "Pass a test and you can speak to an actual human being." Its demeaning. It also shows just how useless many recruiters have become. Part of the job of a recruiter's job and good ones do this, is to get a candidate excited about interviewing with the company and get the preliminary deal breaker questions out of the way to see if it even makes sense to proceed.
Why was this downvoted? Yes, it's likely you would need at least one amendment. The Supreme Court has ruled that the government cannot impose open primaries on the political parties. See California Democratic Party vs. Jones: https://www.oyez.org/cases/1999/99-401

This decision has been affirmed more than once, and it makes sense.
Passive solar is better than having a smart grid, and we can also do both. Using little or no electricity is more efficient than using green electricity.

I think we really need to push for passive solar design. It is the answer that allows for high quality of life and lowered use of electricity. Most other answers involve doing without. This does not.
Your code has two comparisons; one to figure out which one starts first, and another to figure out whether the first one ends before the second one starts. This isn't getting your data correct; knowing which one comes first isn't part of the problem description :)
Javascript is increasingly becoming just as important as HTML and CSS for a web experience.

If you "disable HTML" the web will be broken, expect the same for Javascript.

Trying to build every single thing in a way that gracefully falls back in the absence of Javascript is often extremely difficult (if no impossible) and always very expensive.

I think last time I checked less than 5% of global internet users had javascript disabled. Kind of like supporting IE6, the cost is just not worth it.
Gerrymandering is always by design.

Is there a working implementation of POS yet?
Wow, this is awesome. What a simple yet useful idea.

This format lends itself to data processing, but I think it would be really nice to apply it a variety of workflows. For example, you could model the software deployment process across different languages and frameworks. It could be a good complement to StackShare.

A bit of constructive feedback: I'm not a stickler for UX or design, but maybe spruce up the gray boxes a bit. I've never been a designer though, so take that for what you will.

Kerberos doesn't work through NAT, for one. (I think that there might have been an extension, but it never took off.)

Open ID Connect will support the more complicated "delegation" scenarios that Kerberos enabled. Think, authentication across multiple service boundaries. That kind of thing.

I read Chris Lattner's online CV [1] (probably via HN), he of Apple/LLVM/Tesla fame and a technical engineer I regard rather highly.

It's an excellent example of story-driven resumes.

You need to use `.bind()` to set the context, or switch to using arrow functions. Both methods are sub-optimal. `@autobind` solves that.
Well then you should be as shocked at the transformation of an exciting research field from a technical pursuit to a den of scammers, con artists and desperately ignorant speculators. That's why you see the attitude you see in HN.
I suppose the principle of charity would lead us to believe they meant the House is more proportional compared to the Senate.
Thus the "supposed to be". A better way to have phrased it would be quasi-proportional. I was suggesting that your beef really should be with the House.
You're just solving the wrong problems then. Try rendering the whole Earth at sub-cm resolution or something. There are so many things we can't do right now because we're too constrained...
Depending on what you're hiring for, it's really not all that depressing.

If someone has been doing maintenance programming in a company without excellent culture that values code quality - their brains start to rot pretty quickly.

Five years later, they know how to debug, estimate, work on a team, just not really develop anything from scratch or think critically.

If you want people to do real development, those are hard to come by. If what you really need is someone to maintain some bloated codebase and make it worse, but not too fast, then most people will do just fine.

Another thing is: what do you really want from a candidate? What led you to start asking them trivia questions in the first place?

The really good ones will be put off by trivia because it brings them zero value. If you ask questions that actually pertain to the field you're hiring for, it'll go over much better.

For example I applied to work at a major bank, and got asked a bunch of security questions, which exposed me not understanding how main in the middle attacks worked. The interviewee had requested that I go home, do a bit of research and email them the answer.

This brought them value because they found out that's an area I have little knowledge in, and it provided me with value because it pointed me in the right place to go research.

Trivia puzzles don't add value to anyone. Frankly if you're doing trivia and are upset by the response you're getting, a part of that is your fault :)

I'm living in NoVa in a zip code in the top 2% of wealth in the US. (Sadly, I'm not personally in the top 2%, I just rent an apartment here.) There are McMansions all around, and they are hideous. There's no sense of design or symmetry. And this is no aspirational neighborhood--if you're buying one of these houses, you are already at the top of society.

As much as I hate looking at these McMansions, they do give me one consolation: money can't buy taste. Maybe I'll never afford that monstrosity you call a house, but at least I've got the sense to not want it in the first place.

Considering the meteoric rise of housing prices in Canada, coupled with the increase in the percentage who own a home, that spells disaster if housing takes a downturn which appears to be happening in Vancouver and now Toronto.

Your link to US data shows just how far home ownership fell during the financial crisis. Canada is close to the same peak as the US.
Sure, but to get that tiny, useful portion you have to dig through mountains of information.
Thing is, Greenpeace started to work on green development in the eighties, along with several leftist faculty and think tanks. Now, thirty odd years later, liberals have a nice thirty year head start and the solutions we know will work are optimized in accordance with liberal values, that is higher taxes and a better live for everybody. If you don't like that, well you solve problems with the solutions you have, not with the solutions you want.
Seems like you're mixing very-short-term memory (moment to moment) with very long-term memory. I'm not a neuroscientist, but my experience as a human suggests these are very different capabilities.
>I've worked at places where well-meaning 'just get stuff done' people created mountains of technical debt that hobbled the project in the long term. Made them look great, though.

Those people were just getting a bit better at building things. They were building experience. It just so happens you found their bad code that they'll realize was terrible a few years from now.

We can't simultaneously hate our own previous code and expect everyone else to delivery perfectly when they first start (or even at mid-level).
Pre-stage. Not even the design has started yet.
And when we hit 120 last week it was the last straw for my aging car battery! I had to get a jump and go get a new battery in the middle of the afternoon heat :(

People want to want to ditch the smartphone. Very few actually want to. Proof: sales in the hundreds of millions.

I think that it would be better to use better practices in regular HTML. There doesn't need to be a new markup format -- just more restraint with JavaScript/animations/CSS/advertisements.
As someone with an actual accredited engineering degree, I find it bizarre that Silicon Valley has decided that the term "engineer" doesn't even need to be qualified anymore. Even without getting into the flame war over whether "software engineers" are real engineers or not, there's a very large pool of engineers to which this post doesn't apply at all. I can't be the only one in the latter pool that reads HN, can I?
I've never heard a peep from my X1C3 or X1C5.
This is going downvoted to oblivion but I think it's a fair point. The Senate / House divide made a lot of sense for 13 colonies, which were kind of like separate entities, but doesn't make as much sense now. For example, why are North Dakota and South Dakota separate states? If they were merged, and became just Dakota, would anyone notice? Why should they get double representation in the Senate vs. California? If anything, having North and South California makes more sense.

I think the system is outdated today. Of course, hell will freeze over before it is reformed in a fair way.
Have you found/tried Trunk Notes before? It's literally a wiki, with light scripting capability. There's also Editorial, which includes Python for scripting, though I'm not sure how well it will work as a wiki/knowledge base.
My impression of this blog isn't it's constructive (though I suppose if you just do the opposite of what she's ripping on it could be) but it's definitely not calling out bad practices with broad strokes. It's calling out individual homes (with pictures) that actual people live in presumably because that's what they decided they liked.

I hadn't seen /r/programminghorror before either. I think if you could pretty easily tie the code samples back to the programmer who wrote it and it was that snarky, that yes it'd be mean spirited. And -- while I enjoy elegant code too -- I don't think I would care what other people choose to use or write in production, provided I didn't hire them, have to work with them, or it was bad enough to affect the product I was using.

Does anyone really test for specifics like this? I thought the goal was to ensure the candidate understood that dates and times are abstract numbers, anyone that applies a mathematical operator should pass it. Yes this would still filter out a lot of people.
My wife made ribs in the oven using a similar technique a few weeks ago. They were delicious! This was the recipe she followed: https://smittenkitchen.com/2015/06/oven-ribs-even-better/
I was in high school when I first read this opinion (I did not remember it was Socrates though). Also, I learned that Gaul, pre-roman France (where I lived), had a society where the priests/judges, the druids, were forbidden to write down their knowledge.

It fascinated me. The idea that books, that were more or less revered depositories of knowledge, could have been seen as anti-intellectual at one time. It pushed me into memorizing stuff. I think it had an unanticipated effect. I thought it would help my overall cognitive capabilities and make me maybe better at science and maths but instead, it gave me a taste for poetry.

If you learn poetry for the sake of it, not because you have a recitation exercise, after a while, it become easy. It is not like memorizing the digits of pi: good poetry has a flow. A flow of sounds, a flow of words, a flow of meanings and a flow of emotions. It is easy to dismiss them when you simply read it, but having to learn it makes you connect deeply to the meaning. Hearing it also has a different effect. I now understand why poems, that I used to find uninteresting when skimming over them in books were actually so highly regarded back in the time.

That was an interesting experience, but Socrates missed a trend that continues nowadays: the volume of accessible information grows. We need faster processing modes. We need written text so we can skim through a page and dismiss it in a few minutes. We can't do that with oral transmission.

That must not make us forget that deeper modes of thought exist. Once we have googled the words we did not know, wikipediaed the summary of the knowledge we lacked, we must fight the urge to keep the flow of information going, reach out to the off button, and dare to stay an hour or two with our mind. Thinking.

We memorize things by exerting recalls. We understand things by banging our heads over what we don't understand about them. Acquiring the knowledge is just the first step of acquiring understanding.

In this day and age meditation becomes popular amongst intellectuals for a reason, but even if you are not into meditation, do yourself a favor when you learn new things: think about them with only your brain for an hour or two. Thinking does take time but without it information gathering is useless.
I really doubt it's feasible to memorize it in a single hearing without paraphrasing. The human brain couldn't have been different a few millennia ago, and we know that the greeks used the same memorization techniques we use today (e.g., the memory palace, chunking, ...).
It's worth noting that proposals can move down as well. For example, I think there was lots of work done on atomics before it was ultimately scrapped. Heck, the global proposal doesn't look like it has moved in months due to a few web compatibility issues.
That's a glass half full view of SCOTUS upholding the travel ban and making travelers prove they have a legitimate nexus to the U.S. to get a waiver.

Mental exercise:

Does smartphone deprivation return cognitive capacity to baseline or cause people to exceed it? Phone deprivation may induce a higher state of attention than before a person had a phone if they associate phone deprivation with focus situations such as exams or crises.

Having a phone around may train the brain to relax and offload tasks, leaving it more fresh to focus when required.
C will never beat plain old assembly when it comes to flexibility.
I'm not sure how that is hilarious, it shows a little character in being willing to reign in a system that even got you into power.

Why would you say social mobility is better in Canada vs. the US? Do you have any data to back that up?

You also have to remember that social mobility can be skewed by wealth distribution. Let's say a person goes from earning $75K to $100K in Canada. That might mean you moved from the 3rd quintile to the 5th quintile. But the same person moving from $75K to $125K in the US might only move from the 3rd quintile to the 4th, even though the US person overall improved their situation more.
Yes, anytime I see that happen the website immediately loses all respect. I guess the A/B split tests might tell you do it but it is still a pretty dick thing to do.
Are you not married, or do not have children or old parents? I would not forgive myself for missing an emergency call because I was hoping to be more productive.
Yeah, you have it right. I had a nagging feeling that two comparisons ought to be enough, and something was just reversed in bumbledraven's formula. My first thought was that the 'and' should have been an 'or', but that was wrong. It was the comparisons that were reversed, as you demonstrate.

Just to compare with the previous comments, if we put your notation back into the a-b c-d format, then it would be:

conflict = c < b and a < d

It's interesting to note how the choice of names makes such a difference. With the arbitrary names a, b, c, d for the four times, it's harder to think about whether the expression is right. Which was 'c' again?

Your names xb, xe, yb, ye are still terse, but once you know that x means one appointment and y means the other, and be and e mean beginning and end, it makes it much easier to think about it.
Seriously. The last Constitutional Convention was convened to amend the Articles of Confederation. It wrote a new system of government. If you don't like our elected leaders, understand that a constitutional convention means giving them, as a convention, absolute power to do anything.
Focusing global political will into action to address climate change is hard.

What is depressing is that even when local benefits are present, it is challenging to enact policy. Case in point: the folks over at Citylab periodically write about the loss of urban forests.

Look at the attached map, even the liberal enclaves of Santa Monica, Venice, Manhattan Beach, BelAir, Hollywood Hills and Beverly Hills show tree cover loss.

Sad.
I've experienced managers like that, but both their careers and their organizations were harmed by their lack of emotional intelligence. I don't think that it is accurate to say software development doesn't require emotional intelligence.

It's worth noting that emotional intelligence doesn't mean someone is kind and good. Emotional intelligence can also allow people to be manipulative too. That can be perhaps even more harmful to employees than an emotionally unintelligent manager, but usually such a manager can be very successful and effective for their organization.
Ask HN: Can I steal my company's product idea?
My company had a product idea they briefly works on about 3 years ago that I think is compelling. They abandoned the idea after they ran into some problems and didn't want to invest any more resources. To my knowledge they have no plans to ever try it again, and I'd be very surprised if they did.

I never personally saw the prototype or the source code. Does the fact that I worked for them preclude me from building the product on my own?

The Senate represented the States. Senators until the 17th Amendment were appointed by State legislatures. The President was elected by the Electoral College with votes apportioned to the States.

The likelihood of retaliation is more or less proportional to talent level of the player you hit. Retaliation is much more likely if you hit the cleanup hitter vs 8th or 9th man in the lineup. The reason for this is to protect good hitters from constantly being pitched inside with reckless abandon.
