I suspect this is what's happening in Canada - billions of dollars of "under the radar" money is coming into Canada to buy real estate, but the construction & trades jobs it creates and resulting boost it provides to GDP makes the government happy to turn a blind eye to the source of this money or that they make no direct taxation revenue (and refuse to audit certain people who are obviously breaking the law).

Totally agree with Timothy Bates here:

> [Bates] called the proposal “a risky distraction”... [It] wouldn’t address many other practices linked to irreproducible results: poor study design, a bias toward publishing positive results, and the practice of “p-value hacking”—fishing for significant-looking results from a huge number of hypotheses.

Since the reproducibilty crisis started getting attention, I've noticed that these problems are really ubiquitous. Tweaking study designs and modifying hypotheses after collecting data are very commonplace and much more subtly dangerous than a potential lack of statistical power. Gelman says "Valid p-values cannot be drawn without knowing, not just what was done with the existing data, but what the choices in data coding, exclusion,and analysis would have been, had the data been different." [1]

This proposal also says nothing about effect sizes, which also should play a role in how we interpret scientific results. We should probably draw different conclusions given a tiny effect at p=0.05 versus a large, obvious effect at p=0.05.

First with the Skylake CPUs only being supported on Windows 10, now with these Atoms not being supported anymore. That makes two.

Strike three and you're out, Microsoft! And I mean if this happens again soon, it should be clear to everyone that Microsoft is indeed abandoning hardware at a much faster rate with Windows 10.
> we just increased disk to 1tb with gp2 and got rid of the problem. It gets 3000 iops/sec all the time and you never have these problems. It's still much cheaper than io1.

shockingly, tons of people don't know about this. Sure, there are use cases where it probably isn't cost effective to do this, but my default policy towards using gp2 is "will this server write to disk even a moderate amount? if so, its get a 1TB volume." Especially for something like a node in a k8s cluster where your workload is non-deterministic, this should be the default.

I don't remember exactly, but not that many, maybe a couple thousand concurrent users. My brother's webapp has hit the front page of Reddit a few times, but a single dedicated machine was more than enough to handle that.
I use a notebook with a pen and something roughly corresponding to the bullet journal format. Portable, power outage safe, hard to steal remotely and easy-ish to slot into the legal process if required.
I'm in a relatively well off US public school district. All kids have Ipads, but the parents must provide them or pay to rent them. If you qualify for the free lunch program they waive the rental fee.
> [Hybrid buses] spend about 5 seconds between stops on battery mode and then almost immediately start up their diesel engines on leaving each stop.

The point is that the diesel engines can always run at 1000-2000 rpm, which is the area of maximum fuel efficiency.
I think you're thinking of CommonMark. That link format isn't valid in canonical Markdown either (just to some of the common variants that also went by "Markdown").

I was always partial to the variants that could do citations well. They would automatically link-ify items postfixed by [1] etc with the link included at the citation at the bottom. I implemented a customer facig newsletter system at one job using that, where it automatically made the emails multipart when markdown was submitted, with the text part being raw Markdown. When using citations, it's still very readable.
Slack is for "small" teams. They've got 10,000+ people in a 'group' since this isn't just for engineering staff, but also for drivers, customer support reps, etc.

These guys aren't split into lots of multiple teams under one big company, they're all just one 'team' with people leaving and joining fairly often due to driver turn-over.

Slack would cost ~$100,000 a month at those numbers as well (given enterprise level discounts).
I really don't understand this line of thinking. Are old people incapable of spending money? Is what they chose to do with capital of less consequence? Even if they do have one foot in the grave, they have a right to legacy.
Once again, that sounds more like a fundamental flaw in the service/software and less like malicious intent.

I'm probably not going to use their service any time in the future, but to imply they intentionally put users in the dark is kind of a stretch.

More like, they failed to communicate how their service worked. Also, they failed to provide a clear distinction between the two options for completion engines that described both objectively.

Honestly, it sounds to me like they were just overly-excited to sell their service, and didn't take a step back and say "hey, do you think this wording makes Jedi look a little overly-bad?" They could have done with some user-acceptance testing on this, for sure.
I think this is actually a case for delegated authentication, you can quite simply let Facebook(or Google,MS or some other trusted auth provider) handle these things

In addition, who do you think is selling the apartments to the Chinese investor corporation? It could be another nameless corporation, but it's equally likely to be the same people that you refer to as the real neighborhood. They certainly aren't complaining about gentrification on their way to the bank.
I think the problem is not only with the Internet but mainly with people having no idea of just how large and varied the world is, how other people see things and how bizarre shit lurks just behind the horizon of their own life experience. The Internet only connected different strains of people together and now they are surprised, disgusted, scared or angered by what they see. And such phenomenon isn't even limited to the Internet.

For example, in case of this "sexual harassment in tech", I really think it's a matter of significant lack of understanding between the parties involved. Apparently it's not the case that most women would agree to have sex with just any random dude, but nevertheless some men seem to expect exactly that. OTOH, I very much doubt that they would be willing to take them by force, but nevertheless women end up worrying about all the possible things that may have happened.

> good policy and good laws depend on a logical and unemotional view of things

That's plausible. Good policy probably benefits from understanding, which seems to be improved by familiarity, which reduces emotional reactions, particularly the negative ones.

> You should not, however, make decisions based on how you feel about things.

But OTOH, if for whatever reason you can't obtain familiarity and understanding, it probably may be safer to follow your gut feeling. I think that's what guides many people and they probably don't think about it much.

> The internet is all about the feels - the mob, the pain, the sadness, the outrage.

THB, you could equally well describe Bolsheviks or Nazis that way. And they have this curious property of predating the Internet by several decades ;)
Wow this chart and the comparison to its competitors made me see that travel industry is humongous.
That's the way I format my bigger HN comments. Didn't know [this](wasn't) part of the Markdown standard, though. Thanks!
PETA has always had very extreme views and their actions have been counter to what they want people to see. If people who are animal friendly knew the actions PETA undertakes they would have very few donors. They cannot afford for that to happen so it is an organization that acts contrary to what they want us to know.
> A more accurate statement is: "python bytecode can't execute concurrently

No this isn't any more accurate. Python bytecode does execute concurrently if you have multiple threads. It just doesn't execute in parallel.
Extending Evan's analogy, perhaps trying to explain the joke ruins the joke?
I have seen examples where the naive Perl 6 implementation is faster than the equivalent C code. (The one I'm thinking of is probably owing to Spesh and the JIT, but I forget what it was about)

Here's an example where a naive Perl 6 version is going to beat the pants off of the naive version in another language:

Find the sum of all integers from 10 to 1000000 inclusive.

In Perl 6:

say [+] 10 .. 1000000

the [+] is a left fold using the &infix:«+» operator (&infix:«+» is left associative)

This finishes almost immediately. (It also does so if the endpoint is 10¹⁰⁰⁰ or more)

The reason is if you use the built in version of the &infix:«+» operator, it calls the sum method on the Range object. That particular method knows how to calculate the sum on the Range without iterating through the values. If you modify the &infix:«+» operator lexically it won't take that shortcut.

This also works the same if you wrote it like this:

say Range.new(10,1000000).reduce(&[+])

(There is syntax to omit either or both endpoints with both ways to create a Range)

There are plenty of areas where Rakudo Perl 6 is slower than I would like, but for many uses it is fast enough.
I also found this: https://www.facebook.com/Funkloch-684514891598702/ which is why I was wondering which of the locations it is.

OpenTable & Kayak are great companies, so I'm happy to see Priceline supporting their endeavors.
A machine from 2013 is older, it's slower, the hardware has seen better days and there are features built into a modern OS that just won't work with a chip set that the user bought from Best Buy at the bargain rack.

We all wanted Windows and MS to push computing forward for the longest time and now that they actually are, people are bitching about it. Not because it's bad for business, it's bad for them personally and anecdotally. Go figure.

This article seems like a rant and not supported by data.
There are two legitimate ways to get lower p-values: You can have a larger effect size, or you can have a larger number of samples[0]. Of course, you can't change the effect size, so this would lead to larger necessary samples sizes to study smaller effects.

I think in general though, at least in biology, people are waking up to the fact that p-values aren't magical, and that having a really small p-value isn't a goal in and of itself. It is, however, necessary to do some statistics on your data to get it published, but the p-value is just checking a box more than being used as a tool for discovery.

Yesterday a cool dataset was released from Jeff Leek which has over 3.6 million p-values from scientific literature[1]. The distribution is fun to look at by discipline[2].

I thought a lot of pharmaceuticals wind up in water supplies because when we take pills only part of the mass is used in the body, the rest stays in the blood stream, passes the kidneys, and is removed fairly intact into the urine thereby entering our water supply at the next voiding of the bladder.
Personally, I'm a fan of the Perl philosophy: make the easy things easy and the hard things possible.
People have a tendency to overestimate the hassle and inconvenience of things they don't like, and underestimate the hassle and inconvenience of their existing lifestyle.

I don't bike to work nearly enough, and I absolutely love cars, but it baffles my mind how much money and hassle people expend on cars that are (to them) just a transportation appliance.
Meanwhile at google:

A: "We could save hundreds of millions in hardware resources if we disabled instant search."

B: "But we might lose money if we don't show as many ads. OH WAIT..."

The guy did a search and realized that the suggestion menu overlaps on the top of the page, where the ads are displayed.

He then tried to click the ad and he couldn't because the ad results changed the moment he moved his cursor away from the search bar.

It took them 7 years to realize their mistake!
Also C was designed for PDP-7/PDP-11 style machines with 8-bit bytes, 16-bit words and the like. It was ported to a variety of other architectures which had to make assumptions and adaptations. These live in UB.

One somewhat unfortunate side effect of the pervasiveness of C and Unix-style machines is that it encouraged CPUs to optimize for C rather than the opposite way around. The use of GPUs for non-graphics programming is a welcome improvement.
Karpeles is currently out on bail as he awaits charges for defrauding and embezzling from Mt. Gox, so I would take any claims he makes with a large grain of salt.

I bought my Toyota for the motor, so I didn't pay a lot of attention at the time of purchase. I wish I had though. Entune is absolutely terrible. I'm still mind boggled that a quality manufacturer like Toyota would allow such a terrible piece of engineering in their vehicles.

Aggresive charging practices is for me one of the top reasons for me to avoid such websites. Website charges a large percentage fee based on the project's cost before the project begins, and then becomes difficult with refunding when the client refuses to cooperate.

Have you tried the new UI?
I have not seen evidence that keeping these topics sensitive is a good thing, so I think the burden of proof is on you to justify why they should be "kept sensitive". Notably, the "shame" around periods routinely gets challenged by concerned parties. Additionally, "keep sensitive" is a weird euphemism for the original, much stronger claim that boys can't truly be boys unless there are no girls.

I have a buddy who's been a scout from youth til college, and the net impact of gender-segregated scouting in the USA vs. most other countries in the world is that american kids were clueless and out of place at the global jamboree he went to, since other countries have correctly obsoleted the stupid divide.

If puberty is a salient point for you, maybe you need to group slightly older boys with slightly younger girls. However, before that, you'd need to justify why these developmental differences matter at all for the vast majority of socializing kids do.

And ultimately that's my problem with your post. You are very scared about the idea that some of these cultural gender barriers may be torn down, and you have some biological facts in hand, but you haven't actually made a case for why these biological facts necessitate the erection of cultural barriers. The burden of proof is on you, despite the american status quo lagging behind.
> it would be great if the language could make the sort utilise all the available cores on the machine.

I'm not sure how I feel about this, because a single program doesn't own the machine. I don't necessarily want a language to automatically use all the cores any more than I want the language to automatically use all my memory or bandwidth.

I think the GOMAXPROCS approach kind of makes sense. You can spin up as many serial independent tasks as you want, and go will use up to GOMAXPROCS threads.
Blame Intel more than Microsoft for this one.

Intel has been turning out Atom chips and machines based on Atom that are purposefully crippled in various ways. For instance I had a Netbook that had a crummy screen (too small to run some programs that expect a larger screen) and would let you plug in a VGA monitor, but not run in a dual-monitor mode. You could plug it into a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and use it as a mini-desktop, but it would not boot unless you unfolded the machine first, etc.

In the case of "Clover Trail", Intel packaged a PowerVR GPU instead of an Intel GPU and their contract with Imagination didn't come with continued support to update drivers.

On the other hand, WDDM drivers have been pretty stable since Vista so why exactly Win 10 Creators Edition needs updated drivers is an interesting question.

Unlike the ARM ecosystem, Intel makes a very limited number of SKUs (and can afford to spend much more developing each SKU, thus get higher performance) and those SKUs themselves are frequently variations of the same die where various features are artificially fused off.

On some sense "pay for the features you use" makes sense, but on another level, it's anti-consumer behavior.
The Rolling Stone article compares Harper to Cheney and Trudeau to Obama. Is it possible that Canada might vote in a Trump in the next election cycle? Anything is possible I guess.

Standing desks work best when used with a treadmill specifically designed for and optimized for walking. Standing for long periods, especially on hard flat floors, will also cause problems (an anti-fatigue pad beneath your feet will help with that). Being able to stand and move with a steady slow pace imparts the greatest benefit and avoids the problems of standing. And even with a treadmill, there are tasks you'll do better sitting. Alternating sitting and standing, and often walking while standing, feels great. Our ancestors evolved to walk and run long distances with varied movements to gather food and hunt, not to stand in one place for hours looking straight ahead or straight down.
Practical Guide to Deploying Applications with AWS ECS, ALB and ASG
That's really weird. I thought Apple liked having little secret projects everywhere. Even having access control between teams for secret special projects.

If it's open plan how will that happen?
Standing for long periods is much more difficult than walking.
Containers allow different EXEs to leverage different versions of the same DLL, much as the WinSxS folder does. It solves some problems that Windows previously solved, in new ways.

Also it prevents "server bloat", where a web or AD-LDAP server gets incidental utility roles attached, like running scripts or being a bastion/jump-box. You can't really RDP to the container, so you can't update DNS from there.
This is happening in the midwest, low cost of living areas also.

Hybrid Mobile Apps Are Overtaking Native
No, I don't. My understanding is that the mats are for reducing foot pain? I don't really have any foot pain.

Standing for long periods is just generally uncomfortable and exhausting for me. I find that I end up resting my weight on one leg, because it's less fatiguing than standing.

I know what I would be thinking if I were you - This guy must be so out of shape if he can't even stand at a desk for a few hours!

That's what's so confusing about all this to me... I'm not overweight (BMI of ~19), I exercise 4-5 times a week, I eat healthy... I just find standing for long periods to be difficult and uncomfortable. But I would really like to do it more, because I do have back pain at night, and standing DOES help reduce that. So... maybe I should get one of those mats, just to see if it helps?

Hi there, HN! Over the past several weeks I spent some time putting together a free email course about the ketogenic diet.

The ketogenic diet has gained popularity among dieticians and nutritionists as a way for people to safely and sustainably lose weight. If you're looking for a lifestyle change that will lead to better health, the ketogenic diet may help you.

In this course, I delve into what the ketogenic diet is, how to start following it, how to test blood ketone levels, and more. I'd love to hear your feedback about the course if you decide to join it. Just email me directly at kaufmanjohn719@gmail.com with any feedback or ketogenic diet questions. Thanks!

I haven't asked any that particular question, but I see no reason to think that many religious people, engineers or not, would answer that they believe that unbelievers are incapable of being the best kind of citizens. That's a pretty normal kind of belief for religious Americans really.
Very interesting, thanks for the link!
I remember ads 25 years ago would show new things constantly---usually for local companies as well, because TV and Newspaper advertisement was basically the only way to let people know that you opened a new store, or were doing a sale for XYZ products.

Those kind of advertisements are actionable, and the supplier wants to see metrics on how much impact a single advertisement had. In today's era, metrics are much easily found from online advertisement, and so businesses have gravitated to those, and most notably Google search ads.
Keep going! I really like being able to follow projects that start small, as opposed to 'here is my 10000 line toy project.

You could use that line of thinking to argue for all laws to be abolished when the next parliament is elected. Laws are almost always designed to be in effect until repealed so that parliament can focus on what needs changing (rather than what needs sustaining). It also makes society more stable and increases legal certainty.

If you want to argue against a law that goes into effect 20 years from today, I'd rather base the argument on our utter inability of predicting things.
One of the other aspects is that cloud stuff tends to make very apparent stuff that was always true but often ignored (for one reason or another). Like--that rearchitecture would be a good idea regardless of where you are (because stuff like twelve-factor apps are just a fact of life), they just become more obviously necessary when everyone's always hyping up that Anything Can Disappear At Any Time.
