Eh I can't find citations right now because I am trying to be productive but modellers and people who study this argue that a lot of traffic is caused by sub-optimal driver behavior. Specifically issues with merging/ and phantom waves that build up and cause phantom jams. Accordingly people think the self driving cars will not be susceptible to this -> less traffic(?). I do not know I agree with these claims since I haven't looked at the math but I am not so sure self driving cars will lead to "much worse" traffic than human driven cars.

Ask HN: I want to transition to tech in genomics. Where do I start?
For context, I was an engineer and am now a Product Manager. I have always been fascinated with health technology since I wanted to be a doctor but that dream never really materialized. So understanding that health tech is relatively broad, I am super interested in genomics and how they can help detect or save lives. I have a data engineering background (SQL, R). Smart people of HN or people who work in genomics, or transitioned to genomics - happy to get ideas from you and things that you did to help ease the transition.

Sublime-text-style multiple cursor text manipulation would break here. And your code would look different than everyone else's machine. How would you display a guideline to make sure you were under a characters-per-line style?

What advantages are there? I could never see it working for me. I want a program to format my code with resonable defaults and be done with it.
I'm not sure what you mean - as stated in the article, and the linked blackhat presentation, this has been broken and exploited for 15 years:

Getting a hash is rather simple, if you already have access to the lan, assuming you are able to redirect traffic or insert yourself between the target user and the network (say, false wifi ap):

I'm generally not much of fan of firewalls (precisely because they by definition set up a "soft core" that's assumed to be safe) - but egress filtering of smb packets is unfortunately necessary if you have an winodws (and/or smb/cifs) clients on your network. I would much rather only run boxes that are "fit for the Internet" - but that's been rather difficult to do with windows for the past decades.

In fairness, Microsoft has made a number of improvements - but still not enough.

It would be nice if there was an easy way to set up the network so all clients used only kerberos5, and only sent credentials to kerberos principals in a trusted domain. As far as I know, there is no such easy way.
It is just one of many many places we utilize at Zapier. As a remote company, we are able to draw candidates from all over the world, so the top of the funnel is pretty wide. HN alone wouldn't provide the diversity we look for when we open a new role.

It'd be really interesting to dig into geodata about the HN community; I'd imagine as a job listing tool, it is less useful for YC companies that aren't based in California. That's assuming a much higher concentration of readers in tech hubs.
This was exactly the first thought that came to mind when I first read the Solidity docs.
I think this is a hard problem to solve because actual invitations seem to not work well. In other words, writing to someone and asking them in specific seems to not go good places.

I think it works better to focus on a) making sure to create a welcoming or inviting atmosphere and b) leaving the door open logistically.

It needs to be apparent to other people that new contributors are welcome and it also needs to be apparent to other people where and how they can go ahead and step up to bat. These can be tricky things to pull off. It is much, much easier conceptually to just think "I know! I will actually literally invite people!" (aka ask them to contribute) and this means you may be asking people who have no interest in the project or not ability to effectively contribute or both.

I am still working on solving this piece for my own projects. Trying to be inviting without literally sending out invitations is tricky. But I think that is what works best to make it possible for those who have both interest and ability to get involved on terms that work for them.
Unlike everything else on the front page of HN, job posting are not there to be "interesting". Before the current system, when people could comment on them, "interesting" quickly became a problem.
You can't just transfer money however you like, even if you had complete control of the blockchain. Transactions still need to be signed by the private key of the wallet involved. You could put a transaction with an invalid signature into the blockchain, but then the chain would be rejected by clients because of the invalid transaction.
I like your comment about the eye of beholder. It captures the obstacle I find when trying to form a complete argument why, say, studying chess is a pursuit inferior to studying information theory.

Adjusting it closer to your comment, can we say that a chess genius is better than an information theory genius? Counter arguments would question the way I'm using "better".

I live in a neighbor city of São Paulo city, Brazil.

I have a 2hrs+ commute , 4hrs+ a day. I take a train (~1hr), a subway(~30min) and another train(~30min), I work next to train station.

The train use to be crowded with no seats to take. I try to make the travel as pleasant and productive as I can, I read news and books - almost finishing Uncle Bob's "Clean Code" -, listen to podcasts and music, watch movies etc..

I am SW developer in a big electronics vendor, we are not allowed to work from home, I lived some time in São Paulo during graduation and working full time, but it was expensive and lonely for me, I live with my parents and near of all my relatives now, but I am thinking to move back soon.

We have no many jobs in my city, so even people that no have skilled jobs use to have long commutes.

Lesspass seems nice but how about keeping all passwords in a .txt file and password protecting that file?

One benefit of the password-protect-text-file method over Lesspass is you can also save answers to so-called "security questions" (for those sites that still use them, like Paypal and government sites).

Alternatively, one can use Schneier's write-down-password-on-a-small-piece-of-paper method.

How can we even really differentiate years from decades when there is potential for building on top of research and radical acceleration at any time.
Many hedge funds invest in lots of things other than publically traded stocks e.g. local bonds, property companies, etc.. if you have some expectation the market will tank ala 2008, you probably don't want to keep all of your money in the market, even if you get lower returns overall..

Also, not sure about hedge funds, but alot of mutual funds exist with a specific focus - one country, sector, asset class, etc. They try to do well within that category...

Just because the 'average' does worse, doesn't mean there aren't a few that do far better if you pick the right one..

Whether you think it is good to invest in that sector over the short or long run and why is up to you based on your portfolio and expectations for the market over the holding period..

As others have said - diversification.
By this logic no photographer is an artist either. They just 'selected' a composition they liked. They didn't work to create any of their subjects, just walked up and took a picture.

Slowly coaxing a desired result out of a computer by painstakingly tweaking an algorithm over the course of hours or days doesn't sound like work to you? The computer wouldn't have just done it on its own if an artist didn't tell it what to do.

I think your definition of art is narrow-minded. Who are you to tell someone their work isn't art. Art is (and always has been) in the eye of the beholder.

Different audiences. Most friends & acquaintances asking me for explanations about august 1

⒈ get repeatedly caught up on basic blockchain concepts (i.e. go in circles w/ terminology)

⒉ know absolutely nothing about the politics of the decision-making up to now

⒊ yet have already been exposed to somebody's propaganda and half-internalized the wrongthink

So i'm not sure that a flowchart of just the proposals w/o entities serves much purpose. Its audience is essentially limited to devs who just need to be caught up on current events.

Coin Dance already has this information available, but across two dashboard-style pages⁽¹⁾⁽²⁾ — not quite arranged efficiently enough for an interactive infographic.

Starting from "know your hardforks" and adding the missing bits from the flowchart as tooltip or on-hover information could work.

They're making fun of the overly negative comments that take over every thread about companies doing something seemingly good. It was my first thought as well: "let's see how HN twists this into something bad".
>You're speaking from a position of bias and ignorance

I made a fairly concise point, but you're right about one thing

>we all do this sometimes

Because you most certainly just did

>As for your specific concerns: the easy pattern is that the letter for a group of five literally looks like half of the letter for a group of ten.

That's not the issue with the "easily repeatable pattern". The issue is this:

>V = X/2, L = C/2, D = ↀ/2, ↁ = ↂ/2, etc.

Do you see that "etc" you post? That's because, to represent 10^n, you need to know 2*n + 1 characters.

This is an obvious downfall that Hindu-Arabic numerals obviously do not have. Even if you ignore the shorthand (which would be foolish, parsing 5-9 characters in a row can take a serious moment of focus), you still need to know an unbounded amount of characters to represent the integers alone, and let's not even discuss the obvious fallacy of fractions etc..

Also,

>Objectively, the Roman system is easier to teach up to a basic level

Even this is an unfounded statement. Make an argument. Prove it. Objectivity of teachability can't possibly be something you just throw out casually in an argument, let alone an argument where you told someone they were biased and ignorant for, as far as I can tell, no reason at all.
Make people that use the resources pay for them.

the national parks are almost fully funded by the people that visit them.

I do not use any of the Local Parks, I do not pay Pokemon Go, I do not have a use for either

People that use the parks should pay for them, then if there is an increase in activity from something like Pokemon Go that means Revenue also increases to pay for the increased costs to maintain the asset.
This is similar to a hacker who finds a bug in banks security system and exploits it for personal financial gain.

Question for investing people.. say I started a hedge fund, put all the money in vanguard to achieve s&p500 benchmark return, then once a year did an options bet with a roughly 97 percent chance of a 3 percent return and a 3 percent chance of ruin. I do this for 10 years, outperformng the s&p 500 by 3 percent consistently. I have 70 percent odds of not being ruined, and I consistent outperform most hedge funds. I have good alpha and there is no way to see that my beta ain't great. Would I become a wealthy hedge fund manager?

Discovering structure behind data with decision trees
I wondered for a moment if this could incentive developers to introduce bugs for their friends to "find," but then I remembered that hackers are already incentivized a lot more to sneak vulnerabilities into FOSS.

What's so hard about histograms?
Humans are social creatures. If you wish to participate in society -- and you basically have no choice these days, because there seems to be no place on earth where you can completely get away from society -- you have to accept constraints on yourself. Laws that work well put a lot of thought into trying to balance the rights of the group with the rights of the individual. Erring too far in one direction or the other winds up being inherently problematic for all parties. You can't have a healthy group if none of the individuals are healthy, and you can't have a healthy individual if the group as a whole is a sick system.

I can think of lots of better arguments than "stay the hell out of my business." But this thread does not look to me like fertile ground for trying to get into any of that.

This reminds me of a tremendously unhelpful idea that keeps circling my brain: A bot that trains a neural net using code comments from a specific GitHub project. The bot then replaces all the comments in the project with those produced by the neural net, then sends in a pull request.

You could also use different training data, perhaps mix in some Mills & Boon.

This looks like a very neat demo of dgraph, well done, how are you defining relations between questions? is this solely full text search?.
Kudos. iv been watching dgraph and tried it out a few weeks ago.
It's common, but many people do not stick it for the whole 4 years. In fact, I have seen 12-24 months more often than the full 4. If your acquisition was even a tiny bit high profile, any new job offer will come with a stock grant that more than makes up for what you lose by leaving early. (And in fact, if you are in that position, you should be using it as a leverage when negotiating a new job offer)
I'd say the math is off, but your ideas are sound. If you can reduce a 10M labor market to capital investment with zero yearly wages, it would probably make sense to spend 80M on robots that will cost 20M over ~10 years (or something similar). Point being, if you plan on being in business for a few decades, getting rid of labor costs (especially there might be a race to get rid of labor costs) is likely going to be essential.
Forgive me, but I don't understand why this is "despicable". How would this be any different than government incentivized vasectomies? What if they were only subsidized vasectomies. Incentivized birth control? Subsidized birth control? As I understand it it's already common practice to discourage people with genetic diseases etc from reproducing. How is that different? The fact that prisoners are significantly more likely to have mental illnesses (many of which are largely genetically linked) has been extensively researched. It doesn't sound like they're being forced to undergo sterilization. I understand why people might feel uncomfortable about this topic. Genuinely curious why you find this so despicable though.

Nah, once you are stealing books from a public university you have crossed the ethical line. I think crimes against libraries rate up there as some of the worst social or even war crimes, similar to the destruction of ancient historical landmarks.

Good documentation as well as write about what can be improved and that you're open to new ideas and contributors.

You miss the point. Having multiple files is not a matter of Unix philosophy. Pass works with GPG keys... Multiple of them! The pass repository is to be shared among your team, so every file can be encrypted for a different, specific set of keys/users.
>I think it's more like not hiring a big name coding competition winner because they never bothered to learn how to use version control, or any coding best practice, or any language other than C.

Depends on what you're hiring for, but I'll take "competition winner with no version control" over "average programmer with expert VC capabilities".

>Bayes rule isn't some kind of deep magic

Yes, it's largely conceptually obsolete.

It really depends on what you think the EV is. Dropbox has pretty high EV if you're in his role, I bet, which is why people are speculating in the first place. (Does this mean Dropbox is not as valuable as it seems from the outside?)

Definitely it seems defensive measures should be built into the programming toolchain of Ethereum. Like it probably shouldn't allow eval at all.

That said, any form of eval should also be a red flag for security. It seems like in this case cost won over security. And that is fundamentally the biggest threat to security.
