You have no idea what you're talking about. A carbon tax is impossible to get through government when enormously well-funded oil special interest groups exist. A sports car is sexy and fun and people want it, and it funds the development of cheaper, mass market models. I repeat you really don't know what you're on about.
Thanks - saw it now in the comments.
I've never heard anyone call generation Y people that were too young to remember 9/11. I thought gen y _was_ millennials. That being said I do agree with what you're saying I just found it confusing.
I like the philosophy and I liked that you communicated it. I think you could have communicated it much more simply & compactly. I suggest you either hire an editor or take an editorial perspective to your content for the redo of part 1.
The former is better than the latter because they will benefit from having a different perspective to you and might be able to give feedback that you haven't considered.

The tech doesn't matter.

If I want to find pop punk from some unknown, Bandcamp makes it stupid easy to find them and download/buy their stuff and/or go see them live.
I've been running recreationally since high school, I average about 20 miles/week, an even mix of road/trail. I'm also a bit heavier than a typical avid recreational runner, putting more stress on my legs and feet.

Having gone through a variety of shoes, I'd like to caution people about the minimalistic shoe trend, especially if you run mostly on pavement. It's true that overly cushioned shoes can cause heel strike and poor form. But switching to ultralight shoes can cause much worse problems. Ultralights provide little/no lateral/pronation support, increase exposure to rolling and road hazards due to the more flexible sole, more easily pinch nerves and ligaments on the top of the foot, and make it harder to relax your leg muscles (increasing the likelihood of irritated ligaments and cramped muscles).

If ultralight shoes work for you, that's great. But if you're a casual runner, I would urge you to visit a good running store that analyzes your gait, and try on a variety of models. Many shoe makers assume a particular shape of foot. You need to try a number of shoes to see which ones fit you best. Don't try to pick the most or least cushioned shoe based on some mantra you've heard.

Also, "pushing off with your heel" is not a thing. It's impossible to finish the liftoff from the heel while running. You can talk about the angle at which most of the liftoff force is delivered, or whether the heel descends to contact the ground at all (vs. running on your toes), but you don't push off with your heel while running.

P.S. The biggest improvements to my running (aside from switching from ultralight back to stability shoes) came from joining a running club, and from buying a Garmin GPS watch and tracking my workouts against my friends from the club on Strava. So the only premise in the article that I agree with is that treadmills are silly :)

Payroll taxes are about 3/4 the size of income tax, and again you're ignoring the amount of federal outlays that are corporate welfare that benefits the rich. Again, Medicaid and food stamps allow people to take low income jobs and (barely) survive. In most OECD countries, higher incomes allow most employed people to meet their own living expenses (although their healthcare is still effectively subsidized).
I can sympathize. I always worry I'll forget my infant son at the grocery store, because I frequently let go of the stroller to get things where the stroller won't fit. It's happened before that I would wander off for 5-10 seconds before remembering my son was with me.

A chest child carrier totally solves that problem.
I heard a great name for this line of argument recently: "but first, the revolution!"

I empathize, but this is destructive. Deciding we can't have [basic service that worked fine not long ago] until we have [complete change of heart about philosophical and policy questions at the core of people's political identities] will only run civilization into the ground.
Those people still have to accelerate / decelerate.
If someone goes onto a Google campus, takes the contents of a recycling bin, and dumps in a river, is it also Google's fault for not locking down their garbage bins?

To think that this "situation" is somehow Google's fault is ludicrous. Some people just want to criticize a big Company.

The point of 2FA is challenge-response and the secret key is in the token. If a phishing site asks for 2FA it can get only one valid challenge-response pair, not the secret key.
It might be clearer phrased as pushing through the heel, instead of off it. Or maybe that just makes it worse. It's a bit in the vein of riding a bike: you can't very easily explain it to someone who's never done it; with sufficient practice, the right neurons will just start hanging out together at some point and then it's pretty much automatic.
Saying that an article skews to the orientation and outlook of the author(in this case a venture capitalist) is no way an attack on that author.

Depending on the situation it's a combination of to-do list programs on my phone and computer, I personally use both Google Keep and Todoist, and physical checklists that I either type out and print or hand write.

For the most important checklists, especially at work, I will usually hand write them in addition to using a computer. I'm a stickler for good penmanship and I find that taking the time to make an outline of my checklist and then transposing it to a handwritten pad involves a kind of deliberateness that is both somewhat relaxing and helps insure that I've covered all my bases, while only adding a few minutes to my day.

Less important things may start off as a physical checklist but then once they become second nature enough I just rely on memory. But again, for things where mistakes would result in something more than a minor inconvenience I still use physical checklists. The beauty of these checklists for me is that instead of having to remember 5,10,20 or 50 individual things, I just need to remember one thing, that is to check the checklist.
>>> It's why comments have "recommend" rather than "like" as a button. I might "like" someone saying "great post!" but I'm not going to "recommend" it.

No.

Sites replaced the "like" button because it was found to be inappropriate in too many circumstances.

For instance, you don't want to "like" an article titled "328 people dead in a train collision" and have your feed show "untog liked 328 people dead in a train collision".

FYI, Facebook allows publishers to pick a few names for the like button instead of like.
That's because "next", and "this" refers not to the day but to the week.

It's the same in some latin languages as well and I think it makes sense, you are already naming the day with "Friday" if you are going to give some more information it should be about some other time measurement - in this case, the week - or it would just be superfluous information.
Ask HN: What is essential reading for learning modern web development?
I think you're thinking of this from a purely "statistical scope of the problem" perspective and underestimating the value of "emotional commitment of a parent for their children".

If there was an app (would require hardware...some sortof linkup with the child seat) I'd imagine if it was marketed right and there were studies supporting it's effectiveness you could charge an awful lot for it and virtually every parent would buy one. That's gotta be a substantial market.
And it's a universal (global) problem.

Car seats are incredibly expensive (actually it's not just car seats...pretty much any 'technology' associated with infants).

Every parent wants peace of mind and I'd venture most would be willing to pay heavily for it.

Edit: On mobile and probably worded this poorly but TLDR: Parents aren't making rational decisions here w/ safety purchases for their kids. They'll spend a lot on something that eliminates a potential life-threatening issue...even if it's statistically rare.
Github, an ISP, mobile phone company, rented offices, an OS, hardware, and the list is almost endless. I actually think it's important to outsource as much as you can and focus on your core business.
It might not have been right, but it wasn't illegal either (in that state, sure it would be illegal in California).

All of you would probably flip out in Denmark, where kids are left sleeping outside the cafe wrapped up in bassinets while their moms drink coffee. Supposedly the cold outdoor air helps them sleep more soundly.
> “Click here to read more details” the email said. The click opened the “Google” password dialog, and the unlucky team member entered the password for our developer account. This looked all legit to the team member, so we did not notice the pishing attack as such at this point. Pishing for Chrome extensions was simply not on our radar screen.

First, it is excellent that you disclosed the issue.

Second, based upon the quoted text you really aren't accepting responsibility for having been phished. The team member wasn't "unlucky." Your "radar" shouldn't trick you into thinking you won't be attacked.
jph00, I would just like to thank you for the first course and now the second course. I've thoroughly enjoyed both and they have taught me a lot.
justintocci left another comment, which he has since deleted, but since I've spent some time investing in an answer, I'm posting it here. Justin, if you dislike being quoted, let me know.

> In fact, it really should have had these tools a decade ago.

What does "should" mean here? That it'd have been good? Sure. That people working (as a hobby, or as part of their employment) on PG should have stopped doing what they were, and instead focus on doing tooling? Maybe, but given the very very limited number of people and their skills I doubt it'd have been a good trade.

> So I propose a better question. Why doesn't PostgreSQL have free, enterprise-grade tools?

I think there's plenty of reasons, and everyone will weigh them differently:
For one, the development community is actually surprisingly small, especially a couple years back; only in the last few years that's changed to some degree. Which means we're often struggling to get the crucially needed server features done, not to speak of delving into a bunch of features outside of our expertise.

Another big reason, and that might sound counterintuitive, is PostgreSQL's license. Because of it and the long community support cycles, companies around PG have a hard time making money w/ licensing etc. So they have to focus on support, training and value-adds. A number companies tried / try to make money selling software around postgres, more enterprise-y tooling among that. Often that doesn't turn out to work that well, because it's actually a lot of work, and without input from the larger community they don't get the necessary market penetration.

Thirdly, I think that PG's development is done by a number of different companies, with each company's share of development not being large enough to sustain the project, explains some of this. I think it's overall an advantage, but in some areas like coordinated planning, marketing and coordinated effort it has its downsides too. If you want to make value-add software around core you're not going to do so with a competitor.

Lastly, I think for a long time Pgadmin3 was seen as not being good, but kinda somewhat acceptable. But its implementation wasn't particularly clean, in a language relatively few GUI folks use (C++), using a dying and buggy GUI framework (wxwidgets). I think it was for a long time just good enough that MVP of something better wasn't all that minimal anymore.
Facebook AI Research: “Optimizing the Latent Space of Generative Networks”
I haven't used SoundCloud that much, but the last time I seriously used it was in late 2015 for finding solid trap music. Finding unsigned material was a lot easier in 2014 than in 2015; everything in the first few pages was from huge signed artists.

I also gave Go a chance so I could download stuff I liked onto my iPhone. It was such a confusing service. I paid $9.99/mo to download tracks. There was no way to download albums. It was also difficult to find things that I wanted to hear. I cancelled after a month or so.
The limit is very high because it is not just the current pooulation, but all the new housing that is also induced. Where people live is a functon of transportation.

We have fork() and exec(), and resource limits carry across exec(), so it does not /have/ to be a built-in.

I maintain a mildly popular JS library on Github. I learned early on to be upfront that helping people with integrations costs me time.

I get a handful of emails each day requesting assistance. I direct them to the README, Stackoverflow and this page: https://github.com/nathancahill/Split.js/wiki/Split.js-Suppo...

This has worked out well, I've made money off of serious users and avoided a lot of painful back and forth with people who don't want to share code.
> Also, "pushing off with your heel" is not a thing.

It's imprecise language, to be sure. I think it's more about where you're concentrating the force. If you look at the .gif that 'WalterSear shared down-thread, you'll see that the greatest force is just before the heel lifts, not after.

That's the difference, I think, between "pushing off" with the heel or the forefoot: where, specifically, in the stride the maximum force is applied.

Ask HN: Do you skip phone interviews for Google/FB/Tier-1 company engineers?
I am assuming that phone screens/interviews are primarily to weed out obviously bad/not a good fit engineers. Also, I have heard that most startups/companies would skip phone interviews for an engineer from a Tier-1 company because they are likely to do well at an onsite interview (They are essentially pre-vetted by their previous company is the reason I have heard from hiring managers).

Are there caveats to this? Only skip phone interviews for engineers above a certain level? Phone interviews are primarily used for selling the candidate on the company/opportunity/role and not as much of a technical "interview"?

There was a case of this happening in Ireland this summer.
Happened on the hottest day of the year, fathers first day dropping child at creche, took a call in the car, worked in a quiet part of a industrial estate.
Dozens of minor items aligned to cause the death.
It was discussed heavily in the office and among friends.
At least 30% of people had forgotten to drop a child at creche and noticed the child close to or at work.

I don't think I could judge anyone harshly, all it takes is the odds to go against you once.
Those two statements are basically equivalent when it comes to mining. cost/hash/second is the metric you optimize for. AMD cards can do the integer operations required with less power (and faster!)

The guns is the only procedural generation, but also where the meat of the marketing and gameplay was meant to revolve around.

ofc, the guns were entirely uninteresting three hours in, and so what you're left with is the relatively weak level design, coop mechanics and mechanically simple enemy design. These would have all probably been fine, maybe even good, if the guns actually offered what they meant to: constantly changing gameplay (and so you'd see interesting combination of native mechanics + the new gun's mechanics).

Instead you just have a weak coop shooter.
I don't feel that ambition and risk is a bad thing. Elon Musk is crazier than you give him credit for. He started Neuralink, which is even more of a moonshot biotech company. I think that starting a new car/rocket company was riskier, back in 2003, for economic and political reasons.

However, I agree that Juvenescence has too much hype and not enough detail. Musk talks big but gives detailed arguments about why he can succeed. Here they seem to just want to get their name out. I'm particularly concerned that Mellon is running a biotech VC fund, juvenescence.life, which incentives PR over substance.

All I've read so far is that they want to apply ML to improve the drug pipeline and discover better drugs. It's not a new idea. There is existing research on using neural networks to predict drug effects, and more broadly many are working on high throughout screening for drug candidates, fully robotic wet labs, etc. But aspects of drug discovery are poorly suited for AI: it's a complex, heterogeneous process requiring logical reasoning and modeling on top of immense structured domain knowledge. The burden is on Juvenescence to make a convincing pitch.

Yes. The poster is thinking of Generation Z (current teenagers).
All things considered, it's by far the easiest and least time consuming part of my life - probably by a factor of 100 or 1000.
i.e. this was over a week of my life: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z740focQL4U
It was a cloudy day, near sunset, low humidity, the car was slightly cooler than outside, and we were acclimated to higher temperatures.

75 was not only safe, it was comfortable.
The idea of domain fronting though is that the fronting website is "expensive" to block that the censor won't do it.

As with everything else, this isn't a 100% technical solution, it has a political component of how expensive the fronting website is to block.

Even though it is customary to throw a wide net when applying for patents, I also would think that chances are decent that any patents don't cover the embodiment of emulating the CPU on another CPU that's a few orders of magnitude faster, in an interpreted language.

Certainly (IMHO, I'm not a lawyer), any patents related to how to make the transistors, connects or the chip package in a 6502 wouldn't apply here.

It's 100% observable. I used to work for a regional transportation council that made high level decisions for where to alleviate congestion. There were many hundred-million dollar projects that counterintuitively increased congestion, because the increased availability created by the infrastructure caused even more people to move to the area. After the original project was completed, decreased congestion would be observed, but 2-3 years later it would be even more congested than before the project began.

They're using the wrong terminology, then; "ISP rate limits" refers to artificial bandwidth restrictions placed—at the data-link layer—on the last mile of a connection, to either upsell better plans or as proactive, aggressive form of QoS traffic-shaping to prevent oversubscribed head-end nodes from actually having to deal with multiple saturated downstream links they don't have the capacity to multiplex.

You're talking here more about avoiding the preferential site-by-site traffic-class-based shaping that goes on when Net Neutrality is not enforced. Which doesn't really happen, because it's far easier to just have a thinner peerage link between the ISP and the content-provider in the first place, and then do regular QoSing on that thin pipe with priority to the people on better plans. (The result is exactly like telephone service on New Year's Eve: local calls go through just fine, but long-distance calls mostly fail because the POTS peerage links are saturated.)
Funny, I'd say my Google API keys are a way, way, way bigger secret than the fact that I sometimes watch porn. Most people do, so it's not a big surprise that I might. I wouldn't much care if people saw me naked. It's just my flesh. Everyone has a body. It's easy to find pictures of naked bodies, and pictures of mine probably wouldn't be very interesting. But my API keys, they are unique and important.

That said, for random private-ish accounts I use Chrome user profiles. Safari does not have them.
