Another alternative is that perhaps people are clicking on ads for things they already own. I mean, let's say there's a 1/5000 chance that a random person is going to buy a SDXC card. You go ahead and buy one. After the purchase, statistically does your likelihood of buying another SDXC go up or down? For some people, they've fulfilled their SDXC quota, so now their likelihood is zero. For other people, they may be in the market for SD cards generally, so they will be more likely to make a second purchase than a random person. Or, after having bought one, they'll want to buy another one as a gift. Or they're looking to return the original and buy a cheaper one at a sale price. Just the fact that they have equipment that takes SDXC cards means they're more likely to buy another one than a random person.

Same thing with a pool filter even. If you live in an apartment, or if you're a minor, or you don't own a pool, your chances of buying a pool filter are extremely low. So the fact that you just bought a pool filter puts you in the narrow group of people who would potentially have need for another pool filter. Even though you just bought one, you're still more likely to be a customer than a random person. Hence, generally speaking, sending you ads for the same thing you just bought may be a rational choice for the advertiser.

The US stepped up to respond to the exigency created by WWII and the Cold War. Those are gone and US leadership is no longer needed.
This ordering is bunk because the author makes no attempt to normalize for student population. Larger schools have a massive advantage compared to smaller ones.

Compare the University of California and MIT. University of California has 250,000 students and MIT has 11,000. After normalizing the data, MIT produces 1 unicorn per 1,200 yearly enrolled student, while UoC produces 1 unicorn per 13,900 yearly enrolled student. By this list, MIT students are 10x more likely to found a unicorn compared to UoC students but are ranked lower in this list.

The authors shouldn't even be combining all ten UC schools in the first place as each runs as a separate university with their own faculty, admissions, etc.

A similar argument applies to the IITs.
Completely agree. We will most likely have 16 years of an unproductive government that does not work for it's people. When Obama got elected, republicans opposed him and tried everything to make him a one term president. We now have Trump who is constantly being opposed by democrats and some of his own party. Nobody has passed any real meaningful change in the last 8 years and potentially the next 8 years. I think congress and senate are ridden with lifelong politicians who are only looking out for their interests. Thank god for private sector, we at least have companies like Amazon, Facebook, Google and Apple. I feel we need to have a real debate about what is working and what is not working about our current government, redefine the role of government for a new world. I don't see how the current setup will set us up for success against rising economies like China, Russia and India.
This is perfect for someone like my who's entire terminal existence is comprise of avoiding user the Finder as much as humanly possible.
I don't think either explain Trump's election. For the most part, corporations didn't back Trump and gerrymandering with in states doesn't have any affect on the presidential election.

Trump won because of the electoral college, a weak Democratic candidate, and because Trump unlike most mainstream Republican Presidential candidates pandered to people's baser instincts.
If executing a murderer would somehow bring the victims back to life, then your value comparison might make sense. But it doesn't, so being opposed to the death penalty does not mean you don't care about the victims.
I'd gather you'll want to think fairly hard about scenarios you have encountered in the past where you helped a team you were on through a rough patch, or helped ship a product on time, or pull people together. You'll probably also want to have some sort of hypothesis about what makes a successful manager, what makes for a successful team, how to deal with failure, etc. If you haven't though about these things or are not interested then you may not enjoy management.

Edit: I would also come ready with any sort of anecdotes about how you took initiative to do something and managed it end to end. Could be an event, could be a product, could be a code release - but that track record is definitely an indicator.
The newer planes all have charging ports with sufficient power for mobile devices. United's streaming option, especially with the Amazon partnership seems like the way forward.
First of all, this is extremely light on information, barely a paragraph.

Also, this is a completely non-binding, symbolic accord. Pure politics, only important for signaling value.
Neither gerrymandering nor Citizens United got Trump elected.
Also choosing what to report or what not to report—even as consumers choosing what news to read—introduces bias into the system.
This is actually making an opening for "human only" papers, that will be easier to distinguish from noise. Non-profit independent, governing body is a must though to issue certification.

The bit that shouldn't surprise me but still does, is the volume change. Add 6 ish cubic metres of mulch and 5 years later is a thin layer of soil comprising maybe 1-2m.
I am more afraid of options that this tool would have. Like fine tune it to be 5% friendlier on candidate 1 than 2. Report news on XXX 10% less than on news YYY. Make people happy. Make people sad. Make people compelling. All this by adjusting few options and changing the wording of articles.
I believe those were accounted for in those times with the notion of a stay-at-home spouse (in reality, read: wife) who did most if not all of that non-job work; food purchase/prep, laundry, chores, children, etc.
As a US citizen I find this incredibly bleak, but I hope the rest of the world pushes forward. I imagine at some point the US will try to get back on board.
Haskell is the pureset functional language. If you want to learn the principles behind the functional programming paradigm learn haskell but its hard. The effort is worth it. But there are situations where the performance is worse compared to other languages but it is the best place to learn FP.

If you are hacking on stuff or doing it as a hobby, learn Scheme. Something like Chicken Scheme is good. Small concise language but a great scarcity of libraries. If you want a pretty ide for scheme or write your own scheme use Racket.

If you want production code in lisp with good library support use Common Lisp. Clojure is better because of better functional programming features than CL but debugging requires knowledge of Java as it runs on a JVM but the plus is you can seamlessly call java libraries which are numerous (more than what is in CL).

OCaml is functional programming with Objects. It it used where there is a need for performance like compilers with the advantage of a functional paradigm. But OCaml is a pain to work with for any Non Unix systems. F# is functional programming for dotNet. Then there is Scala which runs on JVM like Clojure and so has the same pros and cons except Scala is closer to OCaml and Haskell than to Lisp.(ML family)

Depending on your platform make your choice. OCaml is horrible for Windows. Haskell works. Scala and Clojure just need java so platform makes no difference. Schemes mostly have an interpreter for most platforms. Make your choice.

How do you miss the monthly-odd posts of Yet Another Prisoner Jailed For 20 Years Found Innocent here on HN? Again and again and again it's shown that the justice system can get it wrong. The death penalty doesn't reduce the crime rate, it's not cheaper, it consumes more legal resources, and it's philosophically unsound. The only thing the death penalty does do is slake a thirst for vindictiveness.

If you're atheist, well, there's no 'heaven' to make it up to an actually-innocent convict (and their still-living loved ones). There is nothing you can do to 'make it better', not even in a token manner.

If you're a nihilist, well, it's the more expensive, labour-intensive path, requiring more effort. If nothing really matters, then why go to the extra effort?

And if you're proposing we treat humans the same way we treat dogs, then you should be aware that the number of dogs we kill for 'malfunctioning' (biting) is a rounding error of all the dogs we intentionally kill. If we were to treat humans like dogs, then for each of us there'd be someone deciding whether or not a person was convenient to have around (not necessarily someone that we even knew existed). Then we'd either be given a lethal injection if the decider was nice, or be killed in a variety of increasingly unpleasant ways if the decider wasn't. We kill an awful lot of canines (and all common pets) just because we can't be bothered to keep them around, from abandoned pets to puppy farms to feral culls to just getting rid of a pet's unwanted litter. Given all that, it seems odd to make much of a fuss over a 'broken' animal.

Final thought:

> but I don't believe execution is suffering

The act itself is largely not, but the lead-up to it is.
> Is that actually the opinion of the council? It's about whether they deserve it?

It’s about whether a person deserves the right to live, and the European Council of Human Rights is of the opinion that the right to live can not be limited for any reason, it is inviolable. Everyone deserves the right to live.
They're aggressively updating their planes. My last couple of flights have been on brand new ones.
I don't often hire people into manager roles if they have no management experience (usually there are internal people who are looking for that career growth, if we are pulling from outside then it's about experience). That said, there are a few things that would make me at least consider it.

1) the person wants a management career path and seems to understand what it means (org builder, team player, perf reviews, hiring and firing) vs person who thinks their only option for career growth is management and thinks they've done it already as a tech lead and wanna do that role more

2) lots of cross-functional hat wearing and a clear appreciation and happiness with doing project and product management work, a willingness to do any shit work happily in order to make the team better

3) an awesome growth mindset willing to have determination in getting better at it with or without my help, lots of autonomy

4) preternatural judgement and ability to see the forest from the trees, clear potential to help us get better

Interviewed somebody like this recently and it's honestly just hard to say no
The author seems to be pretty clear about having been a team lead but never having directly managed anyone. Huge difference. Having a similar background myself, I can say this is probably one of the biggest hurdles if you're looking to get into management. You can talk at length about mentorship and leading through influence and judgment and all the stuff that goes with being a "technical lead" but it doesn't make much of a difference--they want someone who's had direct reports.

It's the typical hiring chicken-and-egg problem: You need experience doing X to get a job doing X. People management is no different.
Alaska and Delta are my favorite airlines by a mile. Quality and reliability every time.
There are already some great suggestions on here, but I love this topic so here are mine.

For the interview, come up with an answer to this: Tell me about a time you leveraged your experience and knowledge to multiply the efforts of your team.

A lot of what you will be doing is spending your time helping your team do good work on the right things, so any experience you have where you have done that as a senior or lead is relevant.

When you become a manager:

1. Find a mentor

2. https://www.manager-tools.com/get-started - Some really good fundamentals in podcast form. You can listen on your commute(if you have one)

3. http://randsinrepose.com/archives/category/management/ - Articles on management from an engineering manager.

I would pick one article and one podcast to consume each week so you have time to actually absorb it. If you try to implement some kind of perfect program from the beginning you will likely fail.
The C type system prevents you from accidental creative interpretation of memory. You wouldn't say Rust is untyped just because of the `unsafe` keyword either.

No such type safety exists in assembly, except that certain opcode-register combinations are prohibited.
The question is how long you can maintain a pace (hours worked) before that pace begins to impact performance. Usain Bolt can't run his 100m pace for the duration of a 400m race.
It can, with SRV records, which is what things like ActiveDirectory and XMPP use to discover the correct server and port for a given name.

Mainly so they can charge you for it. United's app is awful. It barely works on Android.
Yes, it is. Previous presidents have had no problem doing what was right over upholding campaign promises (many of which quickly became outdated). It also doesn't help that many of Trump's campaign promises, like bringing back coal jobs or dictating Mexico's national construction budget, were completely impossible to uphold anyway. So we knew going into this anyway that a lot of his campaign promises were just lies to get elected, so he's going to break many of them anyway; upholding the petty ones that hurt the country while breaking all the rest is not redeeming, it's just shit layered on top of other shit.

One of the things you should think about in your interview is how you're planning on interviewing them to make sure they're the right fit for your first managerial role. Managing a team, even for those who have been tech leads or in some leadership position without management responsibilities, is a very different role than being an individual contributor. You should think about this the same way you might if you were coming in as a Junior SE, or pivoting into a different specialty within the profession.

So, a few things I would think about would be:

[1] Who will you report to, and what is their management experience? How do their direct reports (likely other managers) view their management skills? Are they a teacher, or do they expect you to "pick things up" on your own? If they expect you to pick things up on your own, will they work with you and potentially pay for training classes or professional coaching?

[2] What is the structure of the team? Is it mostly senior members, or mostly junior members? What are their expectations of a new manager? Does the company typically promote from within, and you'll be an abnormal outsider?

[3] What are the expectations around the management responsibility, beyond day to day team issues? Will they be expecting you to hire new employees? Do you need to handle raises, promotions, and firing? Will you be expected to put together a budget every year?

All of the above is meant to help you to assess whether the role is going to be one that you can be successful in. Management is a great job, and I loved helping my teams grow in their careers; however, I think I would have floundered had I not had a great mentor who helped coach me specifically in these skills. I also think I would have struggled mightily had I jumped into a management role, without prior management experience, with a new team and a new company. Managing a team as an outsider is one of the toughest new roles in a company, even if you have a ton of experience.

Quick shameless plug: I'm co-founder of a venture-backed startup focused on helping people grow in their careers, such as yourself. My email is in my profile if you have any questions and I can be of help to you.
Gerrymandering has had a huge effect. I highly recommend reading _Ratf--cked_, it'll probably make you angry though.
With this insight in hand, we can create new programs and pathways for supporting women across all phases of their careers.

We need to focus on removing barriers rather than "supporting" women's careers. If the barriers are removed or reduced, those who want it are vastly more likely to go get it.
You paid for a lawyer to go with you to the closing? Did they point out anything you had missed? (I've never heard of anyone doing that.)

Most people on death row didn't kill "dozens of people". It's a bad way to make an argument.

I would think that an automated system would have less ad-hoc bias.

It would report on whatever triggers newsworthiness[1] rather than whatever gains the attention of a reporter (which would have fewer if any stated minimums or maximum requirements).

Concretely speaking it's the difference between human-curated search engines and automated search engines like Google.

[1] Since such a system would require thought and design, there would be less impulsive influence.
You're right. Didn't mean that suggest that the other side is weird, just that society's back and forth is weird, your second point gets to that. Yet another controversial topic that gets at that friction is people's view on abortion and war. Some people will fervently protect an unborn child but see nothing wrong with carpet bombing fifty others. On the other hand some people are fervently anti-war but see nothing odd about someone having six abortions (slow down maybe?). So much of it does seem like political signaling.

You are right the deterrent argument is dumb and unsupported.

> it does something bad to a society when "giving up on one of your citizens completely" becomes an option

Human societies have been like this forever, though. Sometimes the protection of the society is more valuable than an individual's life. That stance can be taken too far, but I struggle to see what the point of keeping individuals like Dahmer, Gacy, Bundy around. We can give up on them. We give up quicker on lots of people in society, why not someone who is a mass murderer? They've got nothing to offer and they've given up their rights in taking the rights of and normalcy of hundreds of others.

In the cases you provide, though, it seems to me (and I am certainly no expert) that you wouldn't need to advertise the same item again. If I bought a vacuum that I'm unhappy with, showing me another ad for it (which is what Amazon does) is the wrong thing to do. Not only will I not buy the same machine again, but I will google and research the products- I will ignore ads unless they are offering me a discount on the one I decide on. Likewise for wrong-sized jeans or buying three more pair.
If you don’t mind me asking, how did you bridge that gap and how have you liked that move in career? Just curious about your experience
For me, a "relatively quick explanation" is one that I can read in five minutes, skipping around easily if I already understand part of it, and which points me to the appropriate concepts that I can research for deeper understanding.

Not one where I have to watch a 3 minute ad and a 23 minute video of someone reading off slides.
Amazes me that a low/no capital business model (software) combined with the hacker ethos was so readily and quickly hijacked by The Money People. You don't need this much money and a true entrepreneur dies inside everytime they give away a piece of their company.
Yes, you can just compile kernel modules, but you take the risk of crashing the kernel. eBPF provides a safe way to interact with the kernel due to not being turing complete and additional restrictions. Systemtap is another example of such language but compiles to kernel modules instead.

This is quite important when you want to run this code in production. You don't want to accidently crash your kernel.
IITs collectively have only 33k undergrads, according to wikipedia:

That would make the entire system comparable to a large state school in the US. They do have proportionally more grad students, so total student body is right around the biggest state schools - Florida, Texas, Ohio, etc.

Definitely not on the same level as Stanford or Harvard, but still very impressive.
My experience is different - I've always had free access to movies via Wi-Fi and the selection has been better than the in flight system. As long as there is a USB port I'm in favour of it.
The thing I find amazing about home made telescopes is how accurate you can make the curve of a hand ground mirror with such simple equipment. You have some intended curve you are trying to make, and you need to hit that to within something like 1/4 of the wavelength of visible light or better (call it 100 nm).

Most people would expect that seeing such small deviations would require expensive equipment that is complicated and has to be built to insane tolerances. Nope. All you need is a point-like light source, an opaque item with a sharp straight edge, and a dark room.

The point-like source can simply be a light in a can or box with a small hole for the light to escape. The sharp straight edge can be a razor blade.

With that simple equipment you can do a Foucault knife-edge test [1]. That lets you figure out what parts of the mirror are too high or too low from the intended curve, and you can use that to guide your further grinding of the mirror to bring it to the right shape.

United is also free to stream movies (or at least, it was when I flew a few weeks ago).
