I see nothing but some share buttons, the standard header and footer, and a blank white page. There's a Sumo login tab that slides out of the scroll bar if you mouseover near the top right corner.

It's perhaps only caused by the Show HN DDOS/hug of death, but better to learn now than later that the Sumo Listbuilder popup takes at least 30-60 seconds to load. I only waited long enough to notice it because I had to disable UBlock and reloaded watching the Network tab of the dev tools.

But I don't want to actually sell anything. I just want your money. You can get the software, working or not, with or without the money. You are telling me that in order to get your money I have to sell essentially nothing.

It's a stupid dance for a donation while we're telling the people paying that it's not really a donation. We have to fool them and pretend like it's a business transaction.

I wish we could just be honest and lose the stigma around donations.

it's not that easy to find a good remote job. even with relatively good CV. very rewarding though. I wake up, make a cup of coffee and I'm at work. found it via twitter - made a list that followed all remote job listing twitter accounts I could find and just spammed. getting through interviewing is the hardest part.
Indeed they do - the issue being that according to a handful of Googlers I know, it's surprisingly difficult to get anything through that process.

Yea my experience with biking in Chicago is that at least cabs are clearly marked as such so you know they might cut you off at any moment and you'll cuss at each other. Uber drivers will just stealthily swerve into your lane and full stop.

Plus the GPS systems here will take you down these speed bump residential roads and do crazy contortions to drop off on a one-way road.

On the flip side though, when I first moved here a cab was like $20 each way just from like Broadway to Kimball. Now it's...$4.
This will particularly impact the "Red Hat Compatible Kernel" (RHCK) that is shipped by Oracle Linux.

https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E37670_01/E57668/html/ol_kern_65r...

Assuming that RHEL v8 strips BtrFS, Oracle's RHCK will have to add support back in, and thus no longer be "compatible." Without that support, some filesystems will fail to mount at boot. In-place upgrades from v7 to v8 will be problematic.

Oracle has worked very hard to maintain "compatibility" with Red Hat, even going so far as to accept MariaDB over MySQL. Their reaction to the latest "poison pill" will be interesting.

One of my friends listed 3 pocket knives on eBay. After waiting a week for the auctions to close, 2 out of the 3 buyers said "Cancel my order, I'm not interested." So his auctions were totally screwed over, and he had to wait another week by setting up another auction. One of those re-posts had the EXACT same thing happen. Turns out that eBay won't do anything unless a user has failed to pay for 3 transactions within something like 90 days. That means you can go bid on an item once a month, not pay the seller, and have no repercussions. Because the transaction never completes, you can't leave feedback on the buyer.

That's not really the full picture though. A big part of the reason it's harder on average to find a remote job is because there aren't many entry level remote dev jobs.

So yes, if you look at the developer job market as a whole, finding a remote job is much harder.

However, If you aren't looking for an entry level job, the difference isn't nearly as great.
>And finally: does anyone have any info on the effect of large soy consumption on males?

There are no effects on male biology across a range of parameters tested. There have been many studies done on the effects of isoflavone ingestion on men. Long-term studies on adult men show very little effect. There are in my opinion only two important unanswered questions:

* there are few to no truly long-term studies of soy isoflavone intake in adolescent and pre-adolescent boys, particularly at high levels of intake, although there is of course some ethical concern in running such a study. Some studies in young men have shown small effects ( http://jn.nutrition.org/content/135/3/584.long ).

* studies do not tend to measure effects which are related to the genitalia and sexuality. In general, they only measure hormone levels, which are merely a proxy for real effects, and may not be a reliable one.

To address this problem I have been sort of sketching a small-scale machine that processes unshelled hempseeds into hemp milk or butter. Unshelled hempseeds are the only actual food (i.e. not an extract/powder) on store shelves with a high protein content that aren't soy or animal products and aren't crazy expensive. Shelling hempseeds mechanically, without crushing, is extremely difficult, but the kernel sinks in water, whereas the shell floats, allowing for a very easy separation if the seeds are crushed. That got off topic fast. Anyway:

https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Sue_Duval/publication/2...

However, there are probably effects resulting from activation of estrogen receptor beta. The reason is that activation of ERB is known to suppress prostate cancer, and soy consumption also suppresses prostate cancer:

http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ijc.21266/full

Studies do not generally look for behavioral effects of activation of ERB by soy isoflavones because of the difficulty of measuring those. However, in some cases, meat consumption actually resembles soy consumption:

http://jn.nutrition.org/content/135/6/1400.long

>In conclusion, our data suggest that the ability of Caucasian men to produce equol is favorably influenced by the long-term consumption of high amounts of soy and the consumption of meat.

Since a great deal of animal feed is soy-based this phenomenon may have a simple explanation. However, dairy does not cause this effect (animals' bodies may be trying to avoid intoxicating their young).
But, the comment you addressed is talking about people who commit major crimes.

That is not the same group you are referring to.
AFAIK Polycom is the industry standard. I installed lots of these during the dot-com boom long ago. Things might have changed, but a quick Google search returns similar offerings as what I was used to then.

One thing that made Ruby possible was that app perf. is highly irrelevant for the vast majority of web apps. First because even the most ridiculous setup can handle most sites (after all, you're only shoving some characters around), and second because the standard DB-centric architecture meant that the DB was the bottleneck.

One that made dynamic languages desirable is that their flexibility makes them more amenable to writing architectural adapters, and you really want architectural adapters in web apps.
> It's almost necessary for any dialect of LISP to support lambdas (i.e. functions) that contain a LISP 'do' [1] which lets you group statements.

> [1] http://www.lispworks.com/documentation/lw60/CLHS/Body/m_do_d...

'do' in most Lisps and Schemes is essentially an extended for loop, not a blocking construct. Of course, you could write

(do ((once nil t)) ; Scheme: (do ((once #f #t))
(once)
(thing-1)
(thing-2)
...)

or something, but that's silly.

The blocking construct is in CL called PROGN and in Scheme called begin. Lambdas in CL get what's called an "implicit PROGN" around their bodies, so you can put however many forms you want inside and the value of the last is returned. It works the same in modern Scheme lambdas.

Calling PROGN/begin "do" is solely a Clojureism as far as I know.

Actually, people/businesses can do anything they want, and it is up to you (and sometimes the government) to try to use the law to force them to do otherwise.

The laws of physics and mathematics always take precedence over human law (except in Australia [1]).

I think you're right, but I think this doesn't address what I suppose is a reasonable fear: engineer a significant enough advantage to out-compete a rival population, and then only later rediscover the need for diversity. That doesn't work out well in the long term for either population, but that doesn't mean that, given the choice, it wouldn't happen.

Given the Chinese example, I'm immediately reminded of the folly of The Great Leap Forward and Chinese steel production quotas, and their results.
This is what is written in your link, "Only 13 percent manage to breast-feed exclusively for the six months that are recommended for a baby's health". If there was no formula do you think there would be a 87% mortality rate for babies?
This is both true and false - makes it easier to hire talent and attract users/customers, but harder to raise capital. Works out great if you're running as a small business and don't need to raise capital.

True on average. But there are a lot of other specialties that have a high percentage of remote jobs. Most paid Linux kernel hackers work remotely IIRC.
That's nice to hear.

As someone using AirPods right now... they're AMAZING. The 'magic' pairing is nice but it doesn't go as far as I hoped.

However as Bluetooth headphones they're so tiny it's easy to always carry them. They're a cinch to charge. They sound great (for their size) and now I always carry them with me. Music? Podcasts? Videos? Way more than good-enough.

Just fantastic little things. Shame they're STILL 6 weeks behind demand. They must be REALLY hard to make if Apple hasn't sorted it out after all this time.

I don't think it'd ever be better because you're always writing off the loss, the difference is the size of the loss. It's better to, e.g., get 10K back out of 100K investment and claim a 90K loss, versus getting back 0K with a 100K loss claimed. You're only getting back your taxes from that 10K difference in losses, versus getting the 10K back. The delta would always be there.

This is something that has bothered me lately with YouTube. As the article explains, tends to be inappropriate, sexual or mischievous. However not only that they tend to be cheaply made or make egregious copyright violations, most of which barely pass as "educational content" because they a child shouts the name of the color every minute or so.

What really bothers me however, is this type of content tends to be some of the most watched content on YouTube outside of music videos. For example, to give some context on YouTube performance, in the last 2 weeks, the most watched video on YT (according to our systems) was 'Luis Fonsi - Despacito ft. Daddy Yankee' with 300M views, #10 was 'DJ Khaled - Wild Thoughts ft. Rihanna, Bryson Tiller' with ~70M views. I think everyone would agree this type of content is well recognized in pop culture.

Kids "content" starts up at #29 with 'Сrying Babies Accident! Bad Baby Playing Doctor and Learn Colors with Bandage / Nursery Rhymes Songs' (http://youtu.be/b6B0pt_dhe0) with ~40M views. This isn't "niche content" nor is the spread of it limited. "Сrying Babies Accident" is more well produced than the other videos I've come across but still has same traits - the same stock sounds, the same stock music, intercut with 10 second "educational" content where the a child yells out the name of a color (see 2:40).

This video 'Learn Colors With Soccer Balls for Children' (http://youtu.be/OY7ILLGvAJk), exhibit more of the common 'yt kids content genre'. Again the same focus on learning 'colors' (I've yet to see content that teaches something other than colors), but now you can see the recurring characters of this genre, name Spiderman, the Hulk, and Elsa. I doubt any of this content is licensed by Disney, but the guys behind this are likely making millions.

My absolute favorite has to be 'THE BOSS BABY Learning Color Funny Videos - Learn Colors For Kids Best Moments Tim And The Boss' (youtu.be/gZVFKXt5WeQ), which is just a clip from the movie Boss Baby. It starts off normal until the final scene where it pauses and a child yells the name of the color. What happens next is strange - the entire scene tint shifts (for example the main characters body is blue), the clip plays again and a child yells a different color (~10M views in the past week).

For fun, the most interesting I've seen is 'Superhero Gamezone' (http://youtu.be/amrkiS1Bjao) - while many of these videos have "older" characters that act out Spiderman and Elsa, this is the only popular one where a full grown man acts like a toddler with his son. No colors in this one, but the same Spiderman/Hulk characters along with the exaggerated facial expressions.

A lot of children watch this content. I can't pass any judgement on whether its good or not, but to me, the obsession with this content is strange.

How drivers guided by a nav system is worse for streetwalkers than any other drivers? And, from my experience, long-term commercial driving doesn't always make a driver a model road citizen - in fact, in many places taxi drivers are kinda notorious for being less than model co-roaders.

I am interested in end to end design space exploration/optimization and software correctness from a pragmatic point of view, maximizing ROI, minimizing technical debt--QuickCheck beats ad hoc cases, correct by construction beats tests, design optimization may make the code (and its testing) superfluous entirely.
Sorry I don't buy that. The only reason a consumer would choose a 3rd party seller is price. If Seller can beat Amazon (presumably the most efficient retailer on Earth) on price then Seller must have obtained the goods at below wholesale price.
Yeah, the job search functionality needs lots of work. Like pretty much all job boards, we engage in scraping of other sites (along with our own jobs). While we try to filter based on geography, job type and "second-chance friendly," we get results that don't conform. Like you, I see all that needs improvement, and promise to make it much better. Please make sure to check in periodically and share what we can be doing better.

I think people read way too much into the ORM label. Diesel is very much a query builder first, not an ORM. As a random data point, I've been fixing bugs in Rails lately by basically copying over code from Diesel and converting it to Ruby. That code has all been in Arel not Active Record.

I agree that the "I make Rails" thing is a double edged sword. I would hope people would see it as an indicator that I have a lot of experience and lessons to learn from, but I think many people see the opposite.
