I wonder if current immigration rules don't cause any stress to your team members. Just because they don't talk about it, doesn't mean they are not stressing about it.

If any of them are from India/China and they understand what's really happening with the immigration policies in the US, they'll probably love these upcoming changes (related to merit based immigration)
Well...yes to what you're saying. But there aren't neat lines between our professional technical lives and our personal ones, in particular because we spend a lot of time hanging out with people who share our interests.

Social media is designed for friends, not technical discussion, it's just that human relationships of all kinds are messy and there are no clear lines. So one bleeds over into the other, this can be expected. I don't think that's social media's fault or the people, just a predictable consequence of "how the people be"
Thank you for the concise summary of GP's post. I think tthe post you're responding to is trying to reframe the point with a question though: are you sure it's actually bad for society? maybe this is how our society communicates and twitter was just an expression of that.

In other worse, it's less that twitter influenced society, and more that society was waiting for the medium to communicate the way it wants.
One could argue that while harassing women is absolutely reprehensible, it is not comparable to the damage communism did in the countries it affected. Personally I think both of these things should be heavily discouraged in civil society.

I wish the gun nuts in the US realize that the constitutional protection of gun rights was drafted in a time when guns weren't niche and were necessary as a check on government power.

Today, encryption is a check on government overreach, and guns are effectively a vestigial hobby (unless you're in a gang or the illicit drug industry).

To start off with I think a browser and email client would be the most important.
Here [1] is an article:

> The idea that the vaccine could cause this “autoimmune arthritis” stemmed from a hypothesis, named the molecular mimicry hypothesis, which suggested that the protein used in the vaccine displayed similarity to a protein found in the human body, but was still different enough to be recognized as foreign by the immune system. This would mean that, alongside attacking the foreign bacterial protein, the immune system would also start targeting the normal human protein and thus lead to an autoimmune reaction.

It's not quite as simple as "anti-vaxxers shut it down", but it's also pretty clear that an effective, useful vaccine is unavailable for largely political (or non-medical) reasons.

I think it's a reasonable point. There's lots of armchair experts saying that md5 is broken, unusable, and anyone can reverse it, and here we are 14 hours later and nobody has proven it. Given that the claim was 12 minutes on a 25 machine cluster, that would imply 300 minutes of compute time which is 6 hours. This is hacker news, if it's not going to be done here, then no armchair enthusiasts are going to do it.

If someone can point me towards the tools and how to set it up, I'll leave my gtx1070 at it overnight and see.

What Actually Happened When Steve Jobs Visited Xerox PARC?
You might just be 100% correct. I would still prefer the de facto dominating social platforms to enable more meaningful discussions and not promote the sensationalist statements format of "communication" that Twitter offers.

Society definitely responds to media influence. Sadly this is exploited in the wrong direction and rarely if ever for the society's benefit (mostly education).
Yes they should. Next you're going to try and tell us that we shouldn't utilise modern medicine and vaccinations?
My biggest regret is arguing with people on Twitter. It is not productive. Even less so than arguing on any other forum.
Looks like it's Python 2 only. :(

I agree on many of the points you made. This is the reason h1b needs to be abolished and replaced with a high skilled immigration system like Canada's. it'll give true mobility for the immigrant and less power to the company to abuse, which would in turn lead to less or no wage disparity among immigrants and citizens of US.
Also they focused on, well, WRTs. No graphics stack there :)
That's called a collision
Not at the same hash rate. Sure you can do binary search, but 100^14 or even 30^14 such searches is not fast. So, it's about as fast if you want 2 passwords but not 2 billion passwords.
The problem with posts like this is that we only get one side of the story. Bottom line, everyone - up to your top performer - "needs improvement", so the phrase is meaningless. The world isn't static, and if your employees don't demonstrate a reasonable interest in continual improvement, it's a bad sign. If am employee is operating unsatisfactorily now, objective benchmarks and timelines need to be set, not weekly meetings, unless the employee is asking for that level of feedback.
I'm not sure what you think I disagree with here?
Definitions of cheap vary greatly amongst possible clients. Better just give a price and let the client decide if it's acceptable or not.
Majority in IT are from India and China, getting degrees in US universities.

Do you and your countrymen ever doubt whether the potential political toxicity of the prize is worth it for Norway to maintain sole administration? Has there ever been talk of transferring it to something like a multi-country consortium under the U.N.?
Absolutely. I've drawn my conclusions several years ago and stopped being active on Twitter, and stopped trying to look for meaningful material on it.

The painful truth is that many people realize this but they agonize over the fact that the people they want to talk with can only be found on Twitter. Network effect + tribalism = today's sad reality.

I would try to include additional indicator features for weekdays or weekends directly into your Arima model.

Also I believe that RNNs are useful mainly for highly non-linear problems. Non-linearities in a problem such as sales forecasting are best handled through interaction terms or by including non-linear transformations (e.g. logarithm) of existing features into your model.

Hmm, if Trump speaks for the Russian, persuading the Americans that the US should be colonized by the Russians for 300 years, would you think he should be free doing his presidential business? Especially after he (for example's sake) got awarded some Russian prizes?

If he only expresses some views of his, it's probably OK if he's not influential. If he got awarded some prize that's important worldwide and sometimes awarded to POTUS, well, it's totally a different thing.
Not sure about that, however I do not consider direct election of officials to be a form of direct democracy, it's representative democracy. I know for many people the difference is confusing, but direct democracy means direct voting about issues, not voting for parties or people.
The key to being a successful remote worker is a foundation of trust. Its unfortunately Human Nature to assume the worst when a remote contact is unreachable when you need them . Therefore it's crucial to establish a reputation where your co-workers trust you to do the right thing connected or not. The moral of the story is not about abusive bosses or misaligned corporate goals. It's just about maintaining that crucial level of trust in the team. And it's a two-way street . Both manager and employee play a an active part. Personally I would never hire a remote worker I could not confidently trust nor would I work for a place that didn't implicitly trust me

Edit - I've been a remote worker for over 10 years and will likely continue as long as I possibly can
Palantir Technologies Now Shares “Fifth Most Valuable Startup” Title with WeWork
> The purpose of concentration camps is to not kill people.

I agree with this even more than you do. If my understanding of history is correct, the Nazis, whom you single out as an exception, weren't so from the beginning. This:

> Most mass killing simply consists of taking groups of people somewhere remote and shooting them.

was what they did with their 'undesireables' for a long time, too; and, as you point out:

> Concentration camps are what you do when you don't want to do that and are basically a cheap form of prison.

I think that they originally intended their concentration camps as a marshalling point for future deportation, and (later?) a source of slave labour. It was only at the Wannsee Conference in 1942, I think, that they decided to turn some concentration camps into extermination camps. (Indeed, one could make the point that your statement is true by definition; a camp intended for killing ceases to be, or just to be, a concentration camp. However, probably this sort of semantic quibble is not what you meant.)
Running on a treadmill is extremely boring. Weight lifting is fun.

Yep, in practice if an area is "car friendly" that always translates to "walking hostile". Because cars take up so much space to move and to park, building around them necessarily means undermining every other mode of transportation.

If you mean after generating a hash you can compare it to your list of hashes then that saves time for cracking every password, but it's slower than cracking one password. Assuming you wanted to crack every Facebook password this way, that's not going to fit into cache and a binary search into RAM is actually rather slow. Yea, you could have more computers doing just this, but it's much slower than computing the hash in the first place.
Yes. Whenever I work remotely I make an effort to be very clear about when I'll be available and when not. I also make an effort to respond quickly to E-mails and other things just to signal that I am actually working during the times I am claiming to work.

When managing remote workers I hate it when somebody disappears and I don't know what's going on.

Remote work requires a high level of trust and responsibility from both sides so act accordingly.
That would depend on the level of trust and whatever agreements you made. There are jobs like that, some people aren't into owning slaves but still need outside expertise. Which is nice, since some of us are more into living than being slaves.
How to hide your friend feed in Spotify
My biggest twitter-related regret is that my most liked tweet (by thousands) is a terrible joke about Trump. The reason I regret it so much is that within an hour or two, I realized that people weren't liking it because it was funny in an absurd "nothing matters" sort of way...they were liking it because they thought it was funny in a "yeah, that'd show'em" sort of way. I realized that people who took it as an opportunity to argue with me were really stupid...but the people who were agreeing with me and liking it were also really stupid (so what does that make me?). There should be a German word for that feeling.

But, also arguing with people on twitter. That's bad, too. Let's just go with that.
Ask HN: Who is willing to work for coin?
To be clear this would be a new coin offering for use on an existing/launching platform.

I am curious if there is a broad appetite for this type of risk and compensation. For a variety of reasons I can see how it may be more appealing than equity. On the other hand, there is limited data over a limited amount of time on how coin compares to equity and a number of unknowns.

I am really interested in getting opinions of engineers and developers, but I'd like to hear from administrators, operations, finance and marketing professionals as well.

If you respond please identify as much as you can about your yourself to best understand your perspective(i.e., financial situation - favorable/student/struggling/etc, your position or area of expertise, and anything else you think is relevant).

This is something I am considering. If you are interested you can contact me directly at endswapper at endswapper dot com. The stack is serverless, AWS Lambda and services. Right now, the emphasis is on a CTO, artificial intelligence, machine learning, cryptocurreny and internationalization.

I hope everyone gains some insight from the responses.

Ok, here is another quote from Xiaobo in 1990 which shows that he did not hold extremist views as you falsely claim:

My tendency to idealize Western civilization arises from my nationalistic desire to use the West in order to reform China. But this has led me to overlook the flaws in Western culture — or, even if I see them, to set them aside intentionally. I have not, therefore, been able to stand apart from Western culture, take a critical view of it and perhaps get a better view of human frailty more generally. I have been obsequious toward Western civilization, exaggerating its merits, and at the same time exaggerating my own merits. I have viewed the West as if it were not only the salvation of China but also the natural and ultimate destination of all humanity.
I don't see how that can happen in this case since the GPU is in the same chip as the CPU.
There is a large segment of the US population that has the opposite thesis; i.e. that if we give more responsibility to government, we are giving a way a major part of power.

Just yesterday I looked at Twitter to read up about a back and forth between two developers I respect. I was reminded that Twitter makes it well-nigh impossible to follow multiple sides of a conversation. (Of course, calling what happens on Twitter a conversation is a stretch to begin with.)

Much of the time, when a tweet says that it's 'in reply to' someone else, the specific tweet it was meant as a reply to is not displayed to third parties.

If you extend this experience to the Trump scenario, it's a total fantasy to think his followers on Twitter are being exposed to rebuttals of his statements.

You see counter-opinions if you follow the person who expresses them. It's the inverse of discourse, and I agree it's cancerous to civil society.

You could say that, since it appears Twitter is now the primary platform for broadcasting outside of film/tv.

For what it's worth and now that I think about it, over the years 'comment stickiness' seems to be rather random. Sometimes it happens and sometimes it doesn't. This leads me to think that server load might (or might not) play a bit of a role.
Unfortunately it seems that the same smiley, inoffensive, A-for-effort mentality that exists in our school system has fully invaded the corporate world.

I experienced this personally after talking to a report about their absenteeism. Within a day I received a lengthy email from them complaining about my directness. That 30 second exchange was escalated to management; they agreed that my feedback was justified (the employee in question had missed our team's only recurring meeting for the past month) but suggested I adjust my "tone" to avoid embarrassing them.

I can't help but see similarities when I read this article. Speak directly to someone and they'll get their feelings hurt. Sugarcoat it and they'll claim that you weren't clear enough. Casually hint at the issue and they'll claim you were passive aggressive.

Something is fundamentally wrong with an environment where adults can't have honest and direct interaction for fear of hurting someone's feelings.
The latter statement proves the former. A good manager prioritizes management over work that an individual contributor might do. If that doesn't suit a person, they're likely not fit for management.

I've seen many managers fail for this reason.

But as you say the traditional media do this too - and have been just as instrumental in the rise of Trump. The "false equivalence" media structure, and the direct promotion of right-wing editorial through Murdoch news properties, are also extremely important.
Maybe I've spent too much time on Twitter, but once you find a decent small group of people/comedians to follow, it becomes easier to find others like them since they tend to all follow each other.

I now follow over 900 people, and my Twitter feed is news I care about, opinions I care about, and great "cryptic punchlines" as you call them.
