Great read. What intrigues me - based on the description offered by the author - is that the leading theory seems to more or less try to side-step the existential problem of space. The author referred to this as "super space" -- but is it really? Or is it possible that in attempting to simplify the model - or worse - fit it to a prior assumption, we've actually taken a wrong turn in our understanding of the universe?

I'm not trying to say that the theories surrounding our current understanding of the universe are wrong. But they do seem to conveniently leave out one of the most vexing aspects of the entire problem. Where did it all come from? What's beyond "super-space"? Or, what's its container?
You got a lot of misconceptions about how blockchain works.
First of all every block is mined at fixed time(for BTC its 10 minutes). If recent block is mined faster or slower then 10 minutes difficulty will change and block time will always be closer and closer to 10 minutes. Miners get their payment in bitcoins for mining blocks and only first one network who is lucky to mine it gets that block reward. In "Google case" google may get all of blocks and using more and more servers won't get any more money for google.
Second: Premium(profit) of mining blocks consists of two parts: block reward + transaction fee. First is hard-coded into algorithms and it started from 50 BTC per block and goes down to 1 and after to 0 by time. No matter how difficult block was reward is hardcoded by number of block.
Third: Blockchain is very slow network it allows only 1 block per 10 minutes and block size is around 1 MB. This megabyte is mostly consists of transactions and only 3600 transactions can get into one block(roughly its 6 transactions per second but really its 3-4). Because of it not all transitions get into block and block miner can choose which one to add, so block miner chooses one's that have higher transaction fees. Transaction is an electronic message that consists of: sender address, target address, sum of bitcoins, transaction fee and signature of operation. When transaction is added into block its verified and miner get transaction founds sender included in transaction and guaranteed block reward(1 btc for entire block). So: No matter how much servers are mining - transaction fee is choosen by sender to be in some block(to be in first block today you need to pay arround $25 in btc).
Third: Transaction's signature is most important part for security. By choosen algorithm it will take millions of years to break it. So even if someone is successful on 51% attack he won't get ANY founds from bitcoin wallets.
51% attack also won't google change the rules of system so doing it is just pointless.
Things are a bit more complicated than I described(its already hard-readable) and etherium like networks are deferent( BTC is proof-of-stake ETC is proof-of-work). Shortly saying putting more servers on etherium will make etherium operations even cheaper.
Once source of Imposter syndrome is "not enough." Trying to use tools that help you have more gratitude and see abundance can help. You are enough just as you are, but when you compare you with others or even with the idea of the you you'd like to be or think you were you go Coocoo. Journaling can be a big help, especially if you write without a filter (I.e. Write down all the stuff that comes up, even the stuff you are scared to admit). Writing a list of things you are grateful for is another good exercise - 10 things every morning. It sets your mind to a positive place to start the day. Another good practice is something called intenSati. It is exercise mixed with positive affirmations. None of these things work overnight and some are a bit uncomfortable -- just fake it till you make it. Something good will come of it.
Reading the "kudos" from men who thought he was a great guy for coming forward only after years of harassment came to a head was unpleasant

Perhaps cynically, the only conclusion I can derive from this is them thanking him for not lifting the veil too high and revealing how the system has worked with these forces in play. In the absence of this I have to wonder if the SV VC industry is one big missing stair[1].

1. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Missing_stair
I like it - the all or nothing approach is terrifying as a guy, and defining levels of inappropriateness with exact descriptions of actions is very helpful for those who are freaked out they are going to unwittingly harass someone they are attracted to even just acting naturally. I'm hopefully not belittling the recipients of undesired advances of VC assholes like McClure, but I hope it's also not wrong to say these scandals induce anxiety in a ton of well meaning lower level guys who get circled over as part of the problem, and thinking of a solution that considers this large segment of guys is nice to hear.

It's kind of fun to skip work to get work done, but it also annoys me because it makes it apparent that you can't get useful work done at work, and that makes me feel useless when I do go to work.

=================================================

I've been a freelancer 4 out of 6 years. I've mostly built web and desktop applications, and a bit less mobile ones. Data science/big data/machine learning and cyber security are areas that interest me as well.

I'm up for freelance/remote jobs, preferably, big and long-term.
Try to recall the character of someone who doesn't get accused of assaulting or abusing other people, or making them feel uncomfortable -- someone who is respected by people of all creeds and demographics -- and then behave like that.

It's not that hard, really. Just be a grown-up. Put away the childish fantasies of finding self-worth by bedding lots of women and flaunting wealth and power, and treat everyone you interact with as though they're actual people.
This was a market half-day: exercising some code-paths that haven't been used since the day after thanksgiving '16. I do find it surprising that google and yahoo are both affected, as they used to have very different patterns of stock data errors (yahoo was much higher quality).

Sounds great, but the job description has no mention of remote?
I seem to recall reading something about concrete density. Roman concrete when wet was about as malleable as Silly-Putty. It took a lot of work to shape it into its forms and eliminate air pockets. Our concrete is looser and pours when wet, so it's a lot easier to work with, but it's also weaker.
Well, old concrete, even pre-"quick set" has been found to be much more "durable" (colloquially speaking - not really an engineering term.) And in most applications it isn't concrete's compressive strength which causes failure - for either old concrete or new concrete. So I would hesitate to defend current building practices based on the lone metric of compressive strength. But, again, I'm not a structural engineer (though I do know one who works for the state, and he isn't allowed to express his real opinions about the danger of our current infrastructure - many building failed in earthquakes which they should have survived easily.)
I'm not all that familiar with them, but isn't Gorillaz an entirely fake band? I mean, they don't have real human members, it's all virtual musicians.

In a sense, all the boy bands are basically the same thing. One runs its course, another springs up with the exact same formula. It'd be much more efficient without having to deal with human performers.

I think this franchise music thing is going to happen.
I personally think the bubble takes way too long to pop up. There are hotkey alternatives to a lot of the common characters. alt+u makes the next character have an umlaut (¨). alt+e -> ´. alt+s -> ß. alt+c -> ç, etc.
It's about recognizing how they feel add stopping before it goes to far. Unfortunately I think her article does a bad job of getting that across
You’re doing your weekend wrong
Isn't that just another way of saying "you're not getting paid but the exposure is great"?
This has nothing to do with Youtube and everything to do with advertisers (and agencies and other marketing related forces) that do not want to be next to content that is not brand-safe. That is well within their right and since they pay the bills, they set the rules.
There have been many, many failed attempts at introducing phonetic/phonemic/simplified spelling systems for English. It’s a surprisingly hard problem both technically and socially.

For starters, we probably can’t split “th” into “þ” and “ð” because of words like “with”, where “wiþ” and “wið” are in free variation; even words like “thank”, which you might expect to be uniformly “þank”, show up as “ðank” in some dialects, sometimes also in free variation.

English consonants are pretty consistent across dialects, with a few rare exceptions (like [x] in Scottish “loch”), but the vowels are all over the place phonetically. Even attempts to represent them phonemically (e.g. the 24 Standard Lexical Sets[1]) aren’t perfect across dialects because of the presence of different vowel mergers & splits, as well as one-off exceptions.

and their financial news is flooded to uselessness with bot-written "stories" from sites like "The <placename> [register|tribune|bulletin|news|alert]". The service is pretty garbage now.
People don't discuss "youtube" - they talk about specific channels and subscriptions as they would tv shows or movies.

Because of vast amount of content on youtube, outside of the top channels in any specific topic, you might not even share any subscriptions with any of your friends.
Reminds me of this XKCD: https://xkcd.com/1200/

Point is, nobody cares about the OS files. They care about their documents and data, and their logins to various secure systems. Securing system files alone doesn't really help much.

Probably the best thing is basically to be a Chromebook - the OS is signed and locked-down, can't ever be changed except for by signed updates from the mothership. Documents are meant to be stored entirely on the cloud. No support for running (unsigned?) apps locally, and even if they did, it wouldn't do much, because all of the data is on the cloud anyways.
Isn't irrational the base of the religion (in opposition to rational : "based on facts and reason, not emotion" according to Cambridge dictionary) ?
People say this all the time, but is there any actual rigorous evidence or argument for it?

As far as I can tell it's just a way to demonize and dehumanize a group of really unpopular people in order to feel better about taking retribution against them. Comparable to saying, "She didn't murder her kids because of depression, but because she wanted them and her husband to suffer. The pain itself is the goal."

So is this really a rent-paying belief? Or is it rather a way to feel good about hating someone and absolve yourself from the responsibility to understand the internal experiences of people who do bad things?

This is important, by the way. If the goal is to feel good about hating people who did wrong, dehumanize away. If the goal is actually to prevent other people from doing wrong, you need understand accurately why the wrong was being done in the first place, and that's what I'm afraid isn't being done here.

your paranoia level is set a titch high - this is incompetence, not malice.
possibly could have been better phrased: I was trying to point out that a woman 'using her sexuality for personal gain' only works if men treat her solely as a sexual object
1. We tried drawing libraries before using something in house. In fact what we have now is actually the 3rd version, where we throw away 2 previous versions that is not working as well as we would like.
2. We do not store SVG objects as JS object as we think that will be too memory intensive on a browser. What we have are wrappers, that will take SVG and wrap it internally as objects and to have a consistent and easy way to manipulate them, and once done working with them we throw them away. For example, we have wrappers for rectangle and ellipse and they both uses .move(x,y) and .size(width, height) which is more consistent than using SVG which requires x, y, width, height for rects and cx, cy, rx, ry for ellipses.

In addition, we have plans for opening up our API, so that people like yourself can build solutions on top of Vecta, right now you can play with it programmatically by opening your console, and typing Vecta. This single namespace allow you to access the page or shapes, Vecta.activePage.shapes, or you can set color to the first shape with Vecta.activePage.shapes(0).style('fill', '#ff0000');

4. We use document fragments to render to shadow DOM and write it to DOM, using in house code. However, we have found that what really matters is not so much of speed offered by rendering to shadown DOM but instead of the calculations we have to make internally like making sure the center of rotation and the tight bounding box. These, due to the inability of browsers to calculate them accurately, we have to make.

5. No, we rely on DOM and classes and wanted to keep things simple, so we have objects that handle the handles (no pun intended).

6. We use firebase. It not only handles our collaborative editing well but also allow us to generate previews, smooth and easy login, upload to storage, etc. We love firebase!

7. We do abstract mouse events, key events and many others with internal objects. These objects provide more information, like which shape the user has clicked on and therefore makes the entire task of handling the editing far easier, and we use JQuery for it's ease of use and cross browser compatibility.

8. There is no such thing as 2 users modify the same object at the same time, as one is always slower than the other. The slowest one wins. Say, I drag the object right and you drag it left, if you do it later, then the object is gonna go left.

Hopes that helps! Thanks for asking.
That's because rotation is a form of acceleration, and you can measure the acceleration (or if you prefer, the gravity) of a non-intertial (accelerating) reference frame. Galilean relativity only applies to inertial reference frames.
From what I understand nobody knows the answer to your first question, but there’s been speculation both ways.

As for your second question, you might want to start with something like Feynman’s book QED.
The Word Is ‘Nemesis’: The Fight to Integrate the National Spelling Bee
I completely agree it would be inappropriate to seek a romantic or sexual relationship with someone who you report too, or who reports to you.

Generally though, when going through the various 'keeping it legal', 'managing within the law', etc type classes that managers often have to take a large corporation as part of their training, the reasoning behind forbidding relationships between employees in a reporting hierarchy was always presented as being there to prevent the appearance of favoritism or impropriety.

The idea being that you may be blindly analyzing everyone's performance against the same metric but in answer to a complaint you would have to prove a negative, that you didn't tip the balance for your partner.
Ubuntu is moving back to the Gnome shell, I think. So sometimes companies do get the message. (Although I personally like Unity, so the change is going to be a bit annoying.)
As described in the article, it takes a ton of time. Often editing the video can easily take twice as long as shooting it, which itself can take much longer than the final video length even for something as simple as a talk show.

There's a lot of work that goes into any decent show and it climbs exponentially with quality.
Trying to re-frame a discussion about the victimization of women to include offhand comments about men is not just off-topic but insensitive too. In the general case, you can't do that in any discussion where tensions are high without either doing it deftly and articulately or being quickly shouted down.
… except ensure the cron job runs reliably on a timescale of years…

(Not that I think cron is unreliable - I only recently stopped getting monitoring summary email from a cron job I set up in '99 or '00 on a server that'd been migrated at least 3 times while I still worked there, and who knows how many times after I left in '08, I stopped getting the mail in '14 or '15... But I've also had cron jobs silently die when OS updates break perl/python/shell scripts or permissions - looking at _you_ OS X...)
I'll start using it again. I might have been mixing up my memories of the web app.
Will absolutely double check on this one, and we did add a white background to and but will sure check why it does not work as well as we would like. Thanks a million for the feedback
Ask HN: How do you keep up as software developer stuck at home?
Hello, i'm a software developer that's Chronically ill which doesn't allow me to leave home for the time being(probably months or years..if ever).

I spent 2 years and 6 months working on a local company before leaving due to my health getting worse and other issues (some vital members of the team were jumping ship and i was getting overwhelmed with work), i can still code when i'm "stable" but when i get flares my productivity drops (even thou i keep trying..way slower but...),i'm inconsistent, my long absence from work (been off work since august 2016) don't inspire any trust in companies looking for a remote worker.. :( (and i don't blame them, i'm like.. a walking red flag for hiring managers)...i feel kinda depressed because i feel like i'm on this position where i cant apply locally neither can i try remote (i'm kinda burnt out of so many rejections)..

i can go out, but right now i'm only going out for doctor visits/blood tests etc, and to finish my college capstone (1 day a week)..
i spend my free time doing tutorials (udemy, pluralsight etc)..but lately even that feels like wasted effort :/.

i wish i could get something going so i can work again and get some income or get a remote work of some kind in the future..but stuck on this "don't have enough experience, cant get enough experience" and my current condition of instability makes it hard..

any suggestions?

thanks,

I have found ack and ag to be much faster than grep (I should actually time this).
Out of all the topics that come up from time to time on HN, this one is pretty much unique in that there is strictly one point of view acceptable to put forward, and every other one is guaranteed to get you instantly flag-killed under the guise of "wanting high quality discussion". If I valued my Internet Points, I'd just steer clear of these altogether and go click through to a React vs. Angular discussion instead.
The people that have the ability to fix it are the incredibly brave women coming forward. That's what's changing things.

Otherwise, most of us have already been doing all we can. We don't do bad things, and we don't enable people doing bad things. It's ok to admit that we didn't cause this nor have the ability to fix it.

I'm really curious what comment led to these replies.
Rome had multistorey (3 to 4 of them) residential buildings, and opposite to today, the lower floors were the prestige floors - less climbing, more robust materials. The top floors were generally poorly constructed, out of lightweight materials.
I am seeing an enormous percentage of comments here flagged, including one of mine which is a first for me on this site, or any site.

Upon trying to figure out what's going on I think we need a meta-instruction for comments here?

Like, perhaps the intention is to keep comments focused more on the general problem of sexual harassment in the industry and to not start making a bunch of assertions regarding the specifics of the author's story?

Although I personally think khazhoux's comment pointing to alcohol being a common factor is a pretty good one.

I'm actually having trouble understanding where the line is here so personally going to run away from the thread, but I think a better indication of the ground rules might be helpful to everyone.
Radial burns require more fuel than prograde/retrograde, and most satellites don't have enough fuel to deorbit. Geosynchronous satellites usually go to a higher orbit at their end of life, actually, since that's cheapest.
They are perceived as faster because they automatically skip binary and VCS-ignored files. grep is faster.
I love(d) winamp... but I run more mac and linux lately.. the android player was about the best audio player out there. I was really sad to see winamp shuttered. I wish it could have been open-sourced/ported, because frankly the competition still isn't great.

Of course, these days I rely more on spotify and pandora, but the winamp streaming ability was always great, and it upset me when more online stations moved away from the generic, usable mp3 streams to more esoteric solutions.
from what I recall you are able to set it from the registry.

Immutability is no silver bullet
> it must return the same results everywhere.

We solved that for floats like 10 years ago. Let alone the fact there are better formats, like posits, or fixed point numbers, that also solve this problem very easily.
I meant to delete that part actually. I thought I had. On reflection, it seemed likely that this could be a distortion in my viewpoint based on the fact that most of my Facebook sphere leans heavily left. So I probably don't see as much of the right's poor argumentation.

> but there doesn't seem to have been a presentation of evidence which provides unambiguous support for the thesis.

I said "(to me)" as a disclaimer that I was offering my opinion/belief, and not a provable thesis.

That pattern doesn't need extended regular expressions (use grep -E instead of egrep though). Also `grep -v ^#` does the same thing. `sed /^#/d` is one char shorter.
