I don't have a CS degree and currently work at Google.

I used a bootcamp to get my foot in the door. I studied college textbooks in my spare time for a few years to fill some of the gaps in my knowledge, and then hardcore interview prepped for a few months leading up to my interviews. I got accepted into all of the tech giants and ultimately decided to go to Google.

This is by far the best job I've ever had, and I couldn't be happier with how this all panned out.

People vastly overestimate how much you need to know to get a job at a tech giant. Not everyone at Google is a computer science or math wizard - in fact, the number of jobs that require people with highly specialized knowledge is quite low. Most people are doing the same app development you'd do anywhere else.
> If the UK doesn't leave, does it become an illegal occupation?

It was always an illegal occupation.

> I think it diminishes the UN's authority to have it issue edicts that are not going to be implemented or enforced.

If not the UN, then who? How are these people suppose to get their stolen land back?
I don't think the point is to deorbit cubesats, it's as an independent module to deorbit larger satellites.
Yes, very centralized, but in early 80's with telco companies having pretty much a monopoly on their own respective market, and practically no standard hardware, the Minitel was the best that could be done to get a large chunk of the population to go online, make safely online transactions, exchange messages, before the Web.

Today, 35 years after with what we know, with a deregulated telco environment, with internet protocols and corresponding hardware, sure, the Minitel is not ideal for net neutrality. I think it was still a good step, and looking back, not a too shabby execution either.
Now 35 years later, the market brought Android smartphone, which are the new commodity for people to go online.

While that sounds like a cool idea, that's not why we're building our tools. With our team made up of previous entrepreneurs, we're just happy to build tools that make us think "if I had that in my previous startup, it would have been so helpful!"
There are plenty of people of different social classes than you who don't work at the same company as you, so I don't think a social norm saying that you shouldn't ask out maybe a few dozen people you work with is a "closed caste system".
awesome! nice to meet you and would love any guidance/feedback :D
Most of the EU abstained. It was non-european countries who mostly voted against the UK.
Money is deeply flawed. The only reason it works is because it's heavily backed regulated, and manipulated by the government. A good example of this is inflation, which governments use to discourage hoarding and encourage spending.

Cryptocurrencies have many benefits over fiat currencies, as you mentioned, but they still share many of their flaws. I believe that blockchains and smart contract will have a huge impact, but I don't believe tokens will replace money.

What will replace money is a new kind of currency that's based on people's reputation. This is unavoidable, but will first require the death of privacy.
I think the reason earth is truly broken is slow. Makes no sense that a lvl 5 can cast extreme slow on an entire army and just range-it away.

"They say that because it is. Our geography is different"

Well, as long as you're being specific...

That comment says nothing new. It repeats the same stuff you've already said across this thread, and provides no evidence to back up the assertions. It does get the basic facts wrong, though: the vast majority of traffic on the "Tokyo to Kyoto" line goes between Tokyo and Osaka. Those cities are big (~9 million people each; Nagoya and Kyoto are comparatively small at ~2 million people each), but they're still only ~14% of Japan's population (17% if you include Kyoto and Nagoya).

Again: the only thing that matters is the number of people traveling between the points on the line. We know these things, and it's clear where high-speed rail would work. We don't need to have nebulous debates about "economic value". And arguing that "people don't buy Eurail passes" is absurd on its face. They certainly would, if Eurail actually existed.
Ooh.. we do have a few articles published. You can find them on the landing page. Let me know if I can point you to more resources beyond that. Happy to help :D
No need to go full denial. Insurance is priced according to risk. If I've got a record of accidents and traffic violations then my car insurance costs more. If I'm 100 lbs overweight and hypertensive then life insurance costs more. Medical insurance can be priced the same way, creating incentives to maintain a healthy weight and diet.
Let's also blame suffragettes for destroying our own traditional society.

i think you are missing the point. the idea is to prevent ASICs from taking over. if you could build one that could mine ETH or zcash, it would be a failure from their perspective.
I wonder if this is why people tell you not to go swimming after you eat? I remember my parents always telling me that. Would swimming/diving affect human digestion?
The idea is that if you want to deprecate something, you should tell people how to fix their code, so they can get working again with minimal work.

However, even if it could be fixed up, I don't think it will get deprecated.

C++ is (rightly in my mind) extremely cautious about removing things -- it's easy to ignore std::bind, it's just a library function. On the other hand, I'd be annoyed if my perfectly working C++ code base I've been building over 10 years just broke one day. One thing I love about C++ and C is that I can leave my code for 5 or even 10 years, come back, and expect it to still work just fine.
I was responding specifically to the argument that you can't have only class methods because not everything is a class, in which case you could just call them something else other than "class method".
Ohhh yeah, we do this for captable.io. Would be great to have something similar for Runway as well.
You cant look at it because "its not repeatable" and therefore not publically available so cannot be repeated indefinitely. Seems like a political levee to hold back the sea of environmental data.
>Presumably due to binary thinking ("correct" politician does "correct" thing, etc)

This is not a safe presumption. Michael Botticelli (former director of the drug czar’s office) came out and said that the administration was considering it, but it was too dangerous, politically.

The Obama administration pushed lots of sentencing reform legislation, so it would follow that they might decriminalize cannabis as well. It's not just because they were democrats.

>No, Obama didn't embrace drug decriminalization

We can easily find examples to refute this, 2010's Fair Sentencing Act and Holder's 2013 memo regarding mandatory sentences in low-level drug cases come to mind.

Why would you cozy up your name next to a horribly carcinogenic rocket fuel? This a nomenclature foot-gun.
For example milk (calcium) prevents iron absorption, so you might say a person eats meats hence his diet is balanced and rich in iron but he will suffer from iron defiency if too much milk is consumed. Also there is no natural source of B12 in commercial farm meat and fish since they are not grass fed and not ocean plankton fed. But the feed they get does have B12 exactly like a proper vegan diet where the person takes pills .
Maybe because giving a hand to a historically disadvantaged group of people IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO. I'm astonished that I even have to type this out for you.
I'm aware of his appreciation for typography.

But:

1. He's gotten up on stage in front of typographical faux-pas in the past.

2. Appreciation for typography doesn't translate to taste in mathematical typography. Math reads differently.
ah great ideas! Totally makes sense - added to our todo list :)
In terms of who accredits UT Austin's computer science program, it would be the same body that accredits their physics program. No one. Computer science, or "software engineering" is not actually a field of engineering as far as accreditation is concerned and no license is needed (or really even desired) in order to practice computer science or to have a recognized computer science program. You just need to be good. Computer Science is not law, or dentistry, or even civil engineering. There is no accreditation for computer science.

This isn't to say that accreditation agencies aren't looking longingly at charging more fees to accredit CS programs, but for a university to try to "accredit" it's CS program, or its Math program, or its Art History program, is just a sign that this is a university desperately in need of more marketing. The only thing accreditation you need is the university-wide accreditation.

This is also true for individuals. You do not need a CISSP in order to be an IT security engineer, you don't need an MCP in order to be a sysadmin for Microsoft environments, and generally individuals who attempt to certify themselves with these programs are looked down upon as not being able to demonstrate that they are good. In my experience, in silicon valley it detracts from the resume, although I'd imagine if you are working for a bank or some other company that doesn't really have onsite expertise then stuff like this can help. The one exception would be CISCO, which really has some tough exams and those certifications are not mocked but are respected (although they too, are not required for anything).

Insisting on homegrown platforms is starting to work out extremely well for China. Could be argued that France just hasn't gone anywhere near hard enough on that front and the government needs to seriously play the role of national tech incubator as China does

The whole text is the link, the dot is there just to remember you of the link and make it a little more fancy, also the color of the dot is a hint on the kind of the library (if it is an external package, a package from the stdlib of the language or a relative/local module). It is added using the :after CSS pseudo-class and is not a character, so it doesn't change the code line and doesn't add bloat to the page.
I mean, if the US had lost a war, been occupied by people with the explicit stated goal of destroying their existing social fabric, who then heavily funded and sponsored "suffragettes" at the point of a bayonet after stating this was a key tactic in doing so, yeah, people might be concerned!
You should revisit the assumption that the travel ban would be effective at all. Saudi Arabia isnt on that list. Think about that for a sec. Of course we know why, because there are other national self interests involved. Of course every government has had its share of hypocracy clearly aligned with the nations self interest. Just call it like it is and don't be naive. Calling for repealing sanctions on Cuba because of 'political prisoners' should make one chuckle when looking st Saudi Arabia is concerned .
> This is surprising to me, as in India a large part of the population is vegetarian. We don't seem to be susceptible to the same problems.

In India, vegetarians typically do eat dairy products (although not eggs). Dairy doesn't contain a ton of iron and cobalamin (vitamin B12), but it's a non-negligible amount, and it's possible that that alone accounts for the difference. Remember that vegetarians in India also eat a ton of lentils, which are a great source of iron when consumed in large quantities.

(While it's hard to ingest the full daily recommended amount of each from dairy products alone, an otherwise-healthy individual can make do with a lot less than the recommended levels without developing anemia).
Ask HN: What are some of the better Hacker News apps?
It's been awhile since it was asked, so I thought it was time to ask again. I'd prefer something with a widget on Android, and I don't want to exclude iOS offerings for those who use that.
I'd also prefer better UIs, of course functionality is important, but in my opinion UI has a functionality factor to it as well.
You should not have been downvoted the way you have. Your statements are factual, just seems others think you meant there is no runtime or stdlib. But for runtime requirements, not carrying extra files or requiring extra installs is important, thanks for the info.
For Starters, We Could Use a Right of Recusal
> That's where D3 comes in. The device has independent power supply and communication systems. That means that D3 can deorbit a satellite even if the rest of the spacecraft is completely unresponsive, D-Orbit representatives said.

Totally independent system to provide redundancy for de-orbit in case control to the main satellite is lost, which is a problem.
Can't say, I wasn't working on this, I just witnessed it.

My best guess is that nobody wanted to maintain the old so IT decided to surrender to the latest enterprise fad.
FWIW, acetaminophen is not an NSAID.

Also, the common characteristic of NSAIDs is their anti-inflammatory nature (the AI in NSAID), which addresses injury-related pain by locally reducing swelling. This pathway for the class of drugs is unlikely to provide anxiety benefits.

> " being the motivator still makes you the kidnapper"

This is just ridiculous. You still dodged why there is still slavery in Africa TODAY.
Let me guess, still the Europeans fault I guess...

Face it, Europeans traded the slaves, but the ones doing the enslaving were the Africans themselves that have been doing it for at least 2000 years now. I know, facts hurt your feelings when all you care is to play the SJW... though life.

> "Next you'll tell me about how glorious the reconquista was."

Let me guess, Portuguese and Spanish getting rid of the people oppressing and ENSLAVING them for centuries hurts your SJW feelings, cause Portuguese and Spanish are mostly white and as such they deserved to suffer?

P.S.: BTW: "Historian John L. Vogt estimates that 10% of Lisbon’s population was black (BOTH ENSLAVED AND FREE) during the sixteenth century." It comes directly from the ARTICLE you so much love and defend, but I can't even expect you to be able to have that level of reading comprehension.
Still working on getting Mesa running...

BCPL isn't as primitive as I expected. It's surprisingly similar to C, except lacking types. C's structs, unions, bitfields are almost a direct copy of BCPL, along with the ternary ? operator. C's lvalues, rvalues, and pointers are also just like BCPL.

BCPL has way more control flow statements than C: if EXP do STATEMENT, unless EXP do S, test EXP then S1 or STAT2, test EXP ifso S1 ifnot S2, while EXP do S, until E do S, S repeatwhile EXP, S repeatuntil EXP, S repeat, switchon EXP into CASES, etc. The C language trimmed out a lot of the redundancy. BCPL's switchon statement is just like C's with fall-through cases unless you use a break.

How's this any different than hacking the main satellite and causing it to deorbit?

I'll concede they're accepted patterns, I just don't find they add much value since there's a lot of information flying around the screen at the same time. If the change in values are important enough to animate, steps w/ overlapping action would be stronger.

Your examples are certainly stronger than the Resonance pack. The General Update Pattern uses color to add anticipation to the changes.

I'm fine with bounce animations when whimsy is appropriate the the audience. I also appreciate that Resonance uses ease functions.
With power comes great responsibility. If we want to move forward with the changes we want to see in the tech culture to something more hospitable to all, we need to highlight those people most responsible for shaping it when they behave poorly. It's inappropriate to be overly concerned about how the offending party is punished since they will likely recover and improve as people in the process. Or even in the case where this is not true, the benefit to the many of calling out their behavior is far more important. And anyway, losing your job and going through an apology/shaming shitstorm is not really that big a deal for someone with his resume. There are plenty of examples of people that went on to better things subsequently.
According to another comment here, iron deficiency is a common cause of strokes in younger people. Diets low in red meat often lead to iron deficiency. (Of course, this can be addressed with a supplement, but not everyone who avoids red meat also takes iron supplements.)

> For example milk (calcium) prevents iron absorption, so you might say a person eats meats hence his diet is balanced and rich in iron but he will suffer from iron efficiency if too much milk is consumed

Calcium can inhibit iron absorption, but not to this degree. A typical healthy individual will still be able to absorb iron from dairy products, because dairy products themselves contain iron. Where it becomes a problem is for people who are already anemic.

Remember that the body doesn't need very much iron in the first place, since it's capable of recycling it. It only needs to replace the small amount that's lost in this cycle. And furthermore, the body's absorption of iron is already pretty inefficient, so the effects of naturally-occurring calcium in dairy aren't this extreme.
$2500 BTC makes spending a lot of money on asics reasonable, because if prices hold, you can earn back a large spend in 6 months or so. Finding the asics to purchase becomes the problem.
Breaking expectations is not a reasonable default.
There's a variety of even more efficient MIMD processors. Eg, rex neo, adapteva epiphany, etc.

The reason I don't see ARM being very competitive is that ARM processors have no discernible advantage compared to a clean slate ISA design. What exactly does ARM offer that the Rex Neo doesn't?

By contrast, the Neo is far more efficient, doesn't waste energy on OoO, has no caches, making it far more efficient (especially in terms of data movement, which is a big deal) and has the advantage of having a simpler decoder.
Not many things surprise me anymore.

That said, I do believe that taxing property (and wealth, to some degrees) makes a lot more sense than taxing income.

As a geolibertarianist, I'm generally opposed to taxation, but I recognize the need for preventing people to board finite resources (particularly land). Taxing the ownership of finite resources forces people to put them to good use. You could think of it as renting finite resources (such as land).

That said, inflation sort of serves the same purpose as a wealth tax, if only to a small degree.
People want to send CubeSats higher than LEO, and, this is a prototype of something they want to build much larger versions of. Do you know if any existing satellites have a dedicated power and communications system for just deorbiting? Something that doesn't necessarily fail if the rest of the satellite has a problem.
We already have a "World Clock" - you can adopt it too. Just always work by Zulu time.

So if someone asks you what time it is, give them the answer in Zulu time. When they look confused, explain.

Then you'll have to work out what time - Zulu time - you have your breakfast, and your lunch, and your evening meal. So suddenly you'll be having breakfast at, say, 12:00 Zulu. Does that help? How does it help?

So I want to phone you - how do I know what time to call? Any time after breakfast? Cool - what time do you have breakfast?

So, are you instead going to synchronise your day to mine? I sure as heck aren't going to go to bed when the Sun is at its peak and get up a little after it has set. Would you do that?

This comes up every year or so on HN and I honestly just don't understand the mind-set of people who suggest it. I'd seriously like to know how you would address the above, and how you can see this possibly working.
My first internet connection was through a 28.8k modem, I know very well that it wasn't flat at the time, and that's exactly why I said that "pay per minute of use" is terrible for consumers compared to today's situation, while the OP said: "...as it had some aspects which were (and still are) significant downgrades.

Certainly true of Telegu, Tamil, Kannada, and Malayalam. But because Bengali is, like English, an Indo-European language, not true of it. Also, not sure what you mean by "etc".
American farming practices are a perfect storm of detriments to the honey bee. Widespread use of pesticides is, of course, directly bad. The monoculture of crops also exacerbates the accumulation of pesticides, since bees get a smaller variety of food. And due to the heavily managed style of beekeeping, hives are closer together and are inhibited from swarming, leading to even more propagation of Varroa mites.
I've recently read about numerous space-junk-related experiments funded by "major governments". And remember that these same governments have already agreed on a guideline for deorbiting. It doesn't appear to be tough enough yet, but there's a mechanism for working together on a better standard.
