> I still see power, so who cares what they are called? Modern elites are far more powerful.

Ah, and another "who cares". You will always see in some form power because this is how world model looks like and how society works, the difference is type of power and it's influence on society, but to know that you would need to know history.

> "no one to buy this things from you when everyone will automate everything, then most people would have no job" --

Do you see difference between what you wrote in last comment which is "no-one could get jobs" and what I wrote which is "MOST PEOPLE would have no job" ?

Do you see the difference? "no-one" vs "most" - you see it? Or you "don't care" and it's "meaningless" ? Or there is no difference because it would mean you are wrong?

I need to waste my time to show things like that?

> since I said I didn't care for historical analysis

And another "I didn't care"..

> Historicism has is generally not seen as valuable or valid anymore; if you disagree the burden is on you to demonstrate otherwise.
> You claim I'm ignorant, then provide nothing more.

I don't need to really look far. Read this article from yesterday, it's historical analysis that proves your ignorance:

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2017/jul/14/globalisation-...

Based on this analysis you could predict exact effects of globalism that we see now in economy. But maybe it's also "meaningless" ? Because I am "appealing to another authority" ? Or you "don't care" ? Or because this would prove you are an ignorant.

"arrogance" ? Call it whatever you want, I call things how I see them, you can't stand raw critic about yourself? Then you have problems.

I don't waste my time to argue with ignorants that write things like "I don't care what he meant, because the fact he said it is meaningless" when they do not understand what someone else is writing to them or they don't have any anti-arguments. Your attitude to authority only shows how big your ego is. I know how this discussion will end, with more "I don't care" and "meaningless" instead of real arguments. I've seen it many times. So why I should waste my time on it? I have really better things to do than arguing with ignorants that claim history is irrelevant because they don't know it, at the same time they ate all the brains and write not to "appeal to authority".

You need to know past to understand present and plan for future.

You know why WWII happened? You know why World Trade Organization exist? You know why law is written the way it is? You need to know history to know that. But you probably know better and it's all "meaningless".

"Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it." - that's why historical analysis is so important and that's why you are ignorant.

You will probably understand that I've just finished writing/reading in this thread for good and this was my last message to you. I've explained why.
Same here. I was expecting some cool animation about what happens to the aircraft if the emergency door opens and how the turbulence spreads. Instead, what I got was some stock pictures of wine bottles and the pantry.
Yep, but the generic point on quality of current BBC stands nonetheless.

IF I hadn't just read this sentence on this article:

>Nevertheless, things wouldn’t have been quite so dramatic as in Iron Man 3, where all the passengers get sucked out of a hole blown in an aircraft.

I would have never believed possible that it came from BBC, as well as - since one or more bottles of wine were involved in the incident - the presence of a stock photo of two bottles of wine (unopened/completely full) and a half full glass, resting on a wooden crate is something that would be maybe appropriate to a wine related blog.
Agreed. Twitter is only a clearer mirror of who we really are.
I don't think that is a good pro-tip. Have you noticed lately that laptops are becoming smaller and lighter? I can't imagine an X1 Carbon doing anything to a skull...And hitting with the corner may be life dangerous, after all you don't want to kill the person, but incapacitate it.

No, the pro-tip would be ... box the hell of the guy. Your fist/knee is a very reliable weapon.
You are right. Internationalization might be the word for what I'm talking about, though some might argue that that's not correct either because they might say that l10n is a subset of i18n. Not quite sure. But anyways, yes, l10n in the sense that it works in my part of the world is desirable. I18n if only taken to mean translation (and things like right-to-left and such which arise from supporting certain languages) is what doesn't matter to me.
This is exactly what http://masterpasswordapp.com/ provides.

One of the biggest drawbacks of this approach is that you are stuck with your master-password. You can't change it without modifying those for all the websites.
> Not everyone produces the same amount of value

Agreed.

> They deserve more compensation because their work is worth more. [...] removes any incentive for individuals to excel and solve problems in a productive and creative way.

How does that follow from your premise above? It seems you're also assuming that only financial incentives motivate people to do good work. Do you actually believe that's true? Because psychological studies have shown that people who things for financial incentives actually perform worse than those who do them for non-financial reasons.

So frankly the evidence doesn't support the premise that financial incentives are useful. So you have to justify that they are somehow necessary.
the relentless pinking and bluing of toys is pretty objectionable, and reduces what children feel allowed to like.
I wanted to follow up on this though I don't know if anyone will hear it.

This past week, our small team had brought in an executive coach that works with the material from Crucial Conversations. A wiki summary was circulated around. When I read it, I knew it applied to what was going on with our team as well as personal relationships.

Crucial conversations are moments when opinions vary, the stakes are high, and emotions run strong. Being able to have crucial conversations and handle them well allows someone to be effective, influential, and helps out the team and community tremendously. The follow-on book is called Crucial Accountability, which teaches how to deal with people who breaks promises and violates expectations.

So I stand by what I said about the cynical view of "Corporate Confidential". The thesis of "corporate confidential" is that corporaions want to fire someone using legal means because the real reasons is not legal. it might sound like a case of corporate greed and that is true to some extent. In addition, I think people are -not- having those crucial conversations. It is easier to plot a way to ease someone out than to have the crucial conversation about what is really going on.

Taking that frame with Coraline's story: if seems to me neither Corolaine, nor the github manager was able to have crucial conversations. In some ways, Coraline admitted to it in her blog post.

I also wonder if Github's earlier trouble -- what with the controversies, were also a series of crucial conversations that wete not held, or they were handled badly. They tried to fix it by hiring activists, but then, the crucial conversations and the shared meaning that includes social justice did not get discussed.

Finally: I think perhaps Coraline might benefit from skills in crucial conversations, as far as her activism goals.

I have sone friends for whom SJW rubs them the wrong way -- because it adds fuel to the fire and increases conflict. (Ironic, being that most of my friends who feel this way are committed martial artists and explore violence with each other). While crucial conversations is not a pancea, there are often some deep meaning held by both social activists and social conservatives.

I have always felt that Code of Conducts as imperfect substitutes for what we really want. I think people (generally speaking), deep down, want to speak their truths while getting along, even when disagreeing, when stakes are high, and emotions run strong.

I agree that Google has not been focusing on accessibility at first, but what is missing from the last version of Android compared to iOS ?

That's what 'n' is for in the code above. There are only a small handful of sensitive websites I use that require frequent password changes and I usually sync them all to the same incremented value of n every few months.
There are two people involved. To quote myself:

> The server you'd be talking to in my case is physically mine, in my home, so if I'm an endpoint and someone else is an endpoint, and they have an encrypted connection to the server, for all intents and purposes, it's end to end encrypted.

There are two people who can read the communications: me and whoever I'm talking to.

But rather, my point was this:

> Terrorists and other criminals have an interest in arranging this, and it's quite easy

Setting up https is easy, and steganography is easy to do. Thus, a ban would be pointless because everyone who needs it for criminal activities, still can do it. It's everyone else that's put at a disadvantage.
I live in the south, in the heart of "limited government" country, and I voted Republican until the last election (but I was always more of a libertarian).

There are libertarians in rural areas who really want limited government--they exist.

But they are vastly outnumbered by cultural conservatives, who want to use the government to shape the country into a version of what they think existed in the 1950s.
You know, every time I see something like this, I really hope the legislation passes. Then as the enforcement attempts to handle their impossible task we get to sit back and watch as Tor and I2P and EFF get funded, citizens and politicians gain a basic understanding of encryption, and governments learn that one does not simply ban crypto.

It would be fun. So more power to them! Let's see Britain create their own crypto free internet! Let's watch the public uproar as Google and WhatsApp becomes unavailable in Australia! These things are just big opportunities to get people familiar with what's at stake.

Instead of hiding the window, why don't you look into using terminal colors to hide the password? That way the passwords aren't visible until you highlight them.
There are a couple of things wrong with this article.

The first problem, as pointed out by apl and em500, is the non-idiomatic pandas code. Pandas is fast not when you rewrite your algorithms using one for one with pandas functions, but when you use functions provided uniquely by pandas, then you start thinking with pandas. My rewrite[0] with groupby is 47 times faster than pure python; it would be 1848 times faster if I didn't convert the result to list of lists from DataFrame as in the other cases.

Secondly, if your analysis is taking too long on your MacBook Air, you should switch up to faster hardware before investing your time in time consuming optimizations. Presumably this is work done for an employer and for them the data scientists time is much more expensive than a powerful AWS instance. Of course if you made big Big O mistakes, no amount of hardware is going to fix that.

Yes, what speaks for dheera's method is the use of a strong KDF and especially (a point that I missed initially) that they use a truly random master password.

Depends on what laptop you have. The metal 2013-era Macbook I have would make a nice weapon. Definitely more damaging than bare fist punching. Most people don't have boxing experience and don't actually know how to throw a punch that's very damaging.

This would get resolved quickly if face recognition were democratized: Is the public official ordering you around a known asshole? What's his Yelp rating? Suddenly, privacy would become a thing.
In other words, if I understand you, imprisoning someone for advocating white supremacy, say, is wrong. On the other hand, advocating white supremacy is not good even if it would be wrong to imprison someone for it.
This is indeed in Europe.

Again, I don't really mind, but it was surprising.

Of all the heartbreaking details of his story, the one that continues to haunt me is this: The history on his cellphone shows the last call he ever made was for work. Peter, vomiting, unable to sit up, slipping in and out of consciousness, had managed, somehow, to dial into a conference call.

I've been involved with the art world since I was a child, and I can tell you that artists definitely have financial motives. It's not the only thing motivating them, but it plays a role.

People don't just have one motivation, you see. If I have a desire to do something but it isn't strong enough to follow through, other factors can motivate me to complete the goal.

Sure, some people will starve for art. Most of the time, that's not because they desire to become as skilled as possible, but because they desire social and moral superiority and associate poverty with status and acceptance in their community. I don't personally see that as any greater or worse than pure profit motivation, and see it as much worse than a motivation to earn money in order to accomplish other goals, such as feeding, sheltering and clothing family.
That doesn't look faster -- 60ms? Nor clearer, at least to me :)

Additionally, you might have a bug in the code: groupby() only groups consecutive keys, so your code will fail if the dataset is not already sorted by product_id.

I guess that's the lesson here -- use pandas to make sure you get a sane, fast, tested implementation of some common use-cases. That is, if you can remember its API, when it makes copies vs views under the hood, and all that gnarly stuff :-)
"you need to nurture the entrepreneur in your child before giving them the money."

This is key imo. Even if it means starting small little business type things like selling candy at school. Teach them how to keep track of profit/losses/expenses, how to recognize opportunities and how to test the waters before jumping fully in. I do this with my 13 year old son. His most successful business so far has brought him $4500 in revenue.

I don't call it entrepreneur training or even training at all. He doesn't even really realize he is learning. It is something fun we do together and he has tasted what it feels like to make his own money. It has allowed him to save and buy his own things.

When he graduates from high school, I won't push him one way or another (college vs entrepreneurship). I will leave that up to him but I hope at least I will have given him a little taste of entrepreneurship so he can make his own choice when the time comes. I will also heavily encourage him to work a few jobs at other companies first. That in itself is a huge learning experience.

Hi the crux of user friendliness is a mobile wallet app that is also easy to use. Along with that we gain insights such as how much money is actually being used and how much is idle. We get stats such as avg daily, weekly and monthly balance. Using this stats the end user can allow a percentage of the avg daily balance to be allocated to micro lending or trading smart contracts. We use machine learning to maximize profits for end users.
If the door had been opened by this lunatic and the slide then deployed (flight attendants normally disarm it when you taxi up to the terminal), my main concern is that it'd get torn off and be sucked into an engine. That'd turn a bad situation into a very serious one.
While it has a nice atmosphere, I don't see what makes it special enough to be featured on hacker news? It looks just like a simple vertex shader to me TBH, or an I missing something blatantly obvious here?
Where did they suggest that?

I read it as "If still at low altitude, the door actually would open". In othrr words, because they were at a high altitude, the door didn't open and everything turned out alright.
What he's saying is that a college education does not have ton map directly to a job to be useful. So even in your example an engineering degree will have some value.

You meant the kdbx file right? not the separate keyfile you can use to secure the kdbx file with.

I think the feeling is the same as the feeling of just leaving your SSH private key "out there". Sure, it's protected with a passphrase, but I still don't want to do that.

Can you trust Dropbox would never have security issues? See https://blogs.dropbox.com/dropbox/2011/06/yesterdays-authent...

i just linked this quote to several people too. the next quote that really hit home was this one:

"Over all, the results showed that about 21 percent of lawyers qualify as problem drinkers, while 28 percent struggle with mild or more serious depression and 19 percent struggle with anxiety."

Because the percentages seem comparable in tech for engineers.

This is a very common reaction called "bystander effect". (1)

Cialdini explains it very well in his book "Influence". Despite thinking that we are perfectly logical, we often look at others and look for social proof to decide what the appropriate behavior for a situation is.

So, when nobody is acting, we don't either. This is subconscious, it's not a rational decision.

This lasts until we receive instructions on what to do, which allows us to break out of the effect. That is why in streets accidents, instead of asking for generic help, it is better to ask people to call an ambulance.

I suspect that the passengers that intervened did so only after the attendant explicitly asked for help. And even after that, the effect was probably still so strong that most passengers stayed in their seats.

What is not mentioned in Perry's writing is that Liu's claim that China needs to be colonized for 300 years (https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2010/10/li...) has put him as a shameful character in Chinese history. He might have thousands of supporters in China, of course, it's a country with 1.3b people. It doesn't matter, most people see him as a pitiful puppet of western government, and he is, by accepting numerous funds from NED, and probably CIA as well (http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/Liu-Xiaobo_NED_CIA.htm...).

Yea he is not a hero, I don't care if he won Nobel prize, he is a trash with a bone, that's all he is.
I read a paper recently examining output of the 50c party based on leaked emails (I can't find a link now), which showed that rather than spreading hatred and jumping to defend the Chinese government, the 50c party actually avoid any remotely controversial topic and instead just post "Go China!" "Woo, look at $cool_thing China's done!" "Look how strong/advanced/kind/wise China is!"

Of course whenever anyone writes anything pro-China on the internet, people are going to assume it's the 50c party, just like I assume anything pro-Microsoft here comes from a paid shill or a bot ;)
Multiple passengers did involve themselves, and got hurt in the process.

News articles don't say (it's not an important detail), but we may speculate that there were people on the sidelines who were waiting for an opportunity to enter the fray.

But also, everyone involved seemed to be continually surprised about how difficult it was to get the guy under control. Personally I'm not sure that, if I were on that flight, I would've bothered if I saw that three or four people were already engaging. The bystander effect (aka "someone else's problem") isn't always completely illogical.

It probably happened quite fast, too. As I understand it, happened in an area between bulkheads where there aren't any seats. The fight likely wasn't visible to everyone on board, and by the time enough people rose to engage, it might have been over. Again, just speculation.

Lastly, there's also obviously a limit to the number of people who can engage in a fight in cramped airplane cabin.
"A fully qualified engineer will be in a much better position to provide valuable products and services than an 18 year old noob."

Not sure I totally agree with this. I have meet a ton of very smart fully qualified engineers who have no business sense whatsoever.

That does not mean I am discounting the engineering degree. Not at all. At least an engineering degree will generally give you a very nice return. What makes a good engineer though is not often the same as what makes a good entrepreneur.
If occasionally you have to do something for your family during hours you have to work, you at least owe your coworkers/manager a quick "I'll be offline for a few hours". He didn't do that.

There was no indication from the article that the company demanded unreasonable hours.
I was thinking the same thing. Because it seems fairly common to have male flight attendants, and not knowing typical BBC-style, I was curious whether the use of "stewardesses" was intentional -- i.e. To specifically refer to the attendants who were also women, or was just used generically. Yes, I know that the article refers to at least one of the employees as "she". But I'm picturing a gaggle of attendants intervening against the passenger.
