I feel like Trump is also pretty firmly part of the establishment.

In my mind, the real reason people voted for him is that he said things that people were thinking. This seems to be something that nobody wants to admit.
The 5 is horribly boring once you've done it a couple of times. It also smells very badly (like cow blood + poop) for a long stretch. Hot, dry, high winds, farms on both sides, just 2 lanes, cops around, many semis...

Door to door, driving is the same as the airport, but having a car in LA is nice given the lack of public transit (Bay Area too).
Here is another one as a guard this time, also cut short by my internet connection:

As a former boxer, I believe that there are a few body types that are well suited for boxing (and different types fit different styles) the same way in soccer you want different types/skills for a goalkeeper and a striker.

I started doing kickboxing but my leg speed/flexibility was a very limiting factor and I sucked at it. I would be floored by people that were training for half the time I was, but my hand and upper body agility was suited very well for a 'in-fighter' kind of style in boxing. I changed and was able to very quickly start having boxing matches and winning them.

I truly believe different sports require different body types (fast/slow, tall/short, etc etc) and sometimes is just the problem of finding the right sport for you to be proficient in. (I was a very good goal keeper when I was a teenager, top in the region, but when the other kids started to have their growth spurts and I didn't, my 'skill' compared with the other kids started to decline.)
I'm with the others on this. Never mind the cringe - he's all show, so much so I think he's bluffing (doesn't know ML). He amps up on "character" so much you're excited for the knowledge drop - when it comes, it's so fast and technical there's nothing to gain from it. The adage "if you can't explain something simply you don't understand it" applies. I was hoping he understood ML enough to boil things down; instead he spews equations and jargon so fast (1) you don't catch it, (2) I think he's just reading from a source. He doesn't go for essence, he goes for speed - and that's not helpful.

Again, the cringe isn't the problem directly; but that it's a cover for his bluff. The result is a not-newbie-friendly resource.
that's a nice definition
Wouldn't it be better to wait until we have superliminal travel to run away if they don't like us?

About a month ago I started to receive Facebook notifications from people that I know. I am not on Facebook.
From your first link, "[Google is] one of the founding members of ADL’s Anti-Cyberhate Working Group, established almost a decade ago".

Like I said, nothing significant has changed recently. They are just expanding what they were already doing.
Not sure what that remark was in reference to, but ... yes, they can bring you negative apples.

Your enterprise can have an obligation to deliver apples to someone, which has all the same effects as negative apples and should be booked as such. If you acquired an enterprise with such an obligation, they gave you negative apples.

It's important to account for them that way in e.g. seeing the implications of the Put-Call Parity Theroem.

Isn't intelligence just one particular adaptation that helps reproductive success? I'm not sure why it would be more common than flight or warm-bloodedness.
Economics is the word for the dominant global value system. I think a sad philosopher has more work to do.

We're hearing the Complainer's version, and not Amazon's. Lady Justice carries a balancing scale, with both sides being weighed.

Whenever I see blotted out information, I wonder why...., so let's look at the evidence carefully.

Notice the ship to address on the Amazon invoice-- the green-blotted-out portion with the ship to address beginning with a 4 and then green-- possibly holding another 8 to 10 characters.

Then look at the the USPS confirmation ship to address "Glenbrook Cir" with 13 characters and erased number preface.

The number of characters in the Amazon invoice and USPS confirmation are probably different. Complainer claims Amazon did not "see" or refuse to acknowledge the incorrect ship-to-address. Difficult to believe. And according to Complainer's writing on Amazon's response, Amazon stated the ship-to-address is correct. If Complainer wants to make a better case, remove the blotting. The Courts will never allow for this type of deliberate blotting as evidence, and I don't think we should either.

I've never had problems reaching Amazon support by phone or chat (my choice), and the delay is usually 30 seconds or less. An easy-to-understand scam as this would be critical to Amazon's business. Difficult to believe Amazon staff had trouble understanding Complainer's complaint.

What I see so far is a Complainer who blots out unique identifying person or address information, and gives photos of various documents, which are partially related. Partial relationship, not total.

Lady Justice's scale has two weigh pans. The Complainer's weigh pan already has some holes.
Ask HN: Lack of progression in career. Companies that help you fight that?
If you get comfortable working with in a small company with small scope, you could be working yourself into a hole. That's what happened to me. Now I need to dig my way out and into a bigger company with better financial stability and bigger scope.

Main reason I want to do this? Being involuntarily jobless for a year time sucks. And I'm no fresh grad. I'm someone who's been doing this since 2007. If the average programmer with several years experience doesn't have trouble getting job offers, than I am most likely below average. Despite working on personal projects, I don't feel competitive anymore.

Now there's a problem with that. The companies most likely to solve my problem won't hire me. The ones that are more willing to hire me are the kind of companies that will keep me in that rut of being below-average. I'm mostly blind as to where are the "happy middle" companies that combine the better of those two things. And I don't know the "right" people to refer me to better jobs so instead I cold-apply everywhere.

So... just like every IDE that integrates GDB then ?
The button pusher I think is a bad example. There are not many button pushers, for one, and secondly when we talk about the current industrial revolution, it's about machines replacing humans who are doing jobs with some skills. And there are many such jobs, like operating machinery in factories, and consequently many livelihoods depending on them.

Arguably replacing these jobs with machines is also too fast for any kind of proper transition. You can say "Move elsewhere then!" but as some have already pointed out, this is not always so simple. And, say that the machine revolution does happen world over, where exactly can you find jobs that match your skillsets? Don't forget the many others who will also try the same.

Absolutely, education and a social security net will help with the transition. But in reality, these two are often not an option for many people, and I doubt that the government can supply them in the same speed as the change itself. I fear that we'll have massive social unrest in the near future.
To be fair, the process needs to be much more than merely transparent. It needs to be independent.

That means that it needs to be done by an entity outside of Google itself, and not in any way associated with or influenced by Google.
One issue with YouTube is archival status. Another is provenance.

At some point it will be as easy to create fake videos as to create fake text. It is unrealistic to expect people who aren't information literate about text will be literate about video, but I hope that there's a way for journalists to move away from YouTube by then.
One reason: costs created by artificial real estate shortages.

Social bonding =/= friends
It's a dismissal of the idea that we need to appeal to an authority to solve every problem we see without acknowledging that there are very real ways that the civil society can solve problems without the use of government force and the myriad of unintended consequences that go along with it.

There are countless guides on the Internet for writing software that can create blogs, host pictures, videos, and other content. You could do it yourself or hire a few people for a relatively small amount of money.

Start off with a hosting company and if you're successful, get your own colocation facility.

Build from there.

(yes, I was an engineering founder of an ISP in the Bay Area and built it up to past the point of being capable of the above - and we did it without outside funding, just our own savings from our jobs: engineers, accountant, support person)
The root cause of most American problems is poor public education. We're still over-emphasizing passing grades over effectively growing new American citizens...

Personal finance is rarely offered and never mandatory, yet we collectively bare the burden of financial ignorance. The same applies to other subjects like statistics or civics.
"I really hate ads on YouTube."

Just use youtube-dl and you'll never see any ads.
At least they tell you so.
Also, the first time, I played an angry, confused and very foul mouthed dude as an AI.
I was planning to go along the lines of him probably being captured by some mafia and after he figures out where he is asks for help. Not sure if I would have continued on the route of the AI pretending or on the route of the AI being unaware it is an AI.

Unfortunately either the guard or the app quit on me that time and I no longer have the logs for that attempt.

Fast.ai is absolutely wonderful
If you submit a video to google drive and start giving people links then it will be very promptly disabled with a warning that if you want to share it you need to upload it to youtube. Same with OneDrive/Dropbox. It's fine to share with a few people, but go into hundreds and it gets quickly shut down.
It also potentially eliminates the need for 1-2 nights of hotel rooms. Depending on your travel situation, that might be more convenient.
The interesting assumption is that people control their thoughts.

There are almost 2000 nazis holding a protest in Virginia as we speak. The president threatened a nuclear first strike last week, then figured he's threaten a "military option" against Venezuela (Venezuela!?) yesterday just for kicks.

This bit of weird comic relief doesn't even make the top ten, sorry.
I would love to just buy the market. The market is overvalued. Maybe better to just be short the market at this point or just sit it out?

David Cohen wrote a check as part of the angel round for Uber [1]. The "$80 Billion in value created" seems to include companies which may not have directly been part of the Techstars Accelerator program like Uber [2]. I am not sure if all the others were part of Techstars.

"Join our network of amazing mentors and portfolio companies such as Sphero, Digital Ocean, Localytics, SendGrid, Occipital, Next Big Sound, ClassPass, Simply Measured, FullContact, Realty Mogul, GrabCAD, Placester, Scopely, DataRobot, Remitly, LeanPlum, Synack, Tap Influence, Bluecore, Outreach, Cloudability, Distil Networks, Pilot, Yesware, Bellhops, Twilio, Spothero, Bench, Uber, GoSpotCheck, Ginger.io, Threat Stack, Timehop, PillPack, Plated and GameTime."

Having said that, I love the transparency that Techstars provides on each batch of investments and status (acquired / failed / active) etc. I wish every investor provided this level of transparency on failure rates.

After being massively in love with the original game (first Steam game I get 100% achievements), I just started a new save. So far it feels mostly the same amazing and self-guided experience, just a bit deeper, so I'm not people who hated it at launch will change their minds now.

I hope the current coop "lite" gives way to true synchronous coop. If that happens, I think I might never play another game, ever. ;)

I've taken quite a few overnight buses during a 6 month trip through South America. Even when paying for the luxury option (which is literally $10-$15 more, totally worth it) and having fully reclining comfortable seats, it all comes down to one thing, the drivers.

If the drivers are maximizing for time you're not going to sleep very well because they are driving like a maniac. Sudden halts, near misses, and sharp corners make for a particularly terrifying experience when you're attempting to sleep.

The fact that this endeavor is focusing on drivers that go slow is 100% a positive for me and I would now consider trying it.

This is an issue that really just exists with overnight buses, as trains don't make sudden stops and they are not competing with other trains for a lane.

I have two teenage sons and neither they nor their friends use Facebook. It's Snapchat mostly from what I gather.
I hope we're in a world where that can happen.

At the least, we probably need “upload video to archive.org” mobile apps to make this as useful to journalists in the field as YouTube currently is.

If the Archive grows as a journalistic distribution channel, it might then face YouTube's issues of copyrights, piracy, and other criminal use. However, the Archive could apply goals that are more compatible with journalism than YouTube can. Maybe sufficient philanthropic support could make this possible.
Twilio as well, two great investments but not accelerator companies.
>Bic and Mead don't host your content. You buy their tools to create your own content and then publish it yourself, give it out yourself on media you paid for, etc.

The people who bought into YouTube as a platform, the content creators and their followers, paid for by their time and watching ads into the platform. Remember, when you are not paying for the service, you are the product. The people who adopted into YouTube platform paid for it's success. YouTube was sanctuary when Facebook and Twitter were cracking down on Free Speech. Now, YouTube changing their position is clear bait and switch. You allowed people to use the platform till you are successful, taking their time and energy to drive your ad revenue, now you are cracking down on content you don't like. It is true that it will be relatively easy in this day and age, to secure funding outside of YouTube Ad revenue and host content yourself. Startups will start doing just that. YouTube will look at this moment in time where the executive's individual political preferences were turned into company policy, destroying shareholder value.

>Monopolies have a specific lock on their customers or their supply of a limited resource.

YouTube changes are bait and switch on content creators and consumers who made the platform successful. DeMonetizing someone overnight after years of efforts into the platform and acquiring followers is extreme power held by a corporation.

>If a delivery entity opened your packages to evaluate content, that would present an entirely different sent of problems for them and their customers - because the content is private.

My argument precisely for Net Neutrality. :-) Don't look at content, I bought data transfer, ISP should just forward it on using internet routing rules, just like Post Office does.
The lmgtfy was meant towards github's lawyers, not you. My point was that this is so obviously invalid that they should absolutely have flexibility to challenge it.

Where VS shines for me is inspecting the state of datastructures. As long as you don't need to do any complex search on them, or programmatically walk a graph of them.
What I don't understand is why people don't use the time they have in the low cost-of-living area to develop the skills (via the Internet) that would make them attractive to employers in big cities? That was my approach - I lived at home with my parents after graduation, basically did nothing but program (both for work and after work), and after 3 years Google came knocking and paid for my move out to Silicon Valley. This is fairly common among tech companies, or even any sort of wealthy corporation - if they want someone remote and the person is willing to relocate, they'll pay for the move.

I have several friends here with similar stories - they're from even more economically depressed areas (Alabama, Tennessee, Indiana, Cleveland, etc.), but spent their free time coding, and then Google came calling.

Honest question here - what's going through peoples' heads when they decide that reading Breitbart or watching TV is a better use of their time than developing the skills that will make them desirable to those evil corporations that are making all the money?

The title of the article is somewhat strange in that it sounds like Mathematics doesn't have many real world applications. On the other hand I believe that the title of the article is very effective for people to share it or even as an attention grabber.
>To translate this into practical language, if the Google Manifesto was correct, then you would expect to see that Google was full of mediocre female employees, who had been hired by a process biased in their favour despite being inadequate to the task. Whatever the author of the manifesto thinks, Google does not believe this to be the case and as far as I can tell from industry blogs, it isn’t – female employees in tech are generally very good. This would, of course, be consistent with the hypothesis that the current selection process is biased against them.

I was sort of with the author until this point. He misunderstands the goal that the memo stated was at the heart of the issue, and thus his model is too simple to be accurate. The missing element was Google's false negative rate.

This isn't a case of selecting (for purposes of analogy) all gems above some certain quality, it is the case of selecting the best gems on an assembly line guaranteed to reject 90% of gems. If we reject 80% of yellow gems and 95% of green gems due to the fact that we have more green gems, we have created a lower standard of entry for the yellow gems, even if our gems are all top quality.

His analogy only works under the assumption that google has a reasonable applicant to hire ratio, but we know this to not be the case. Google isn't taking average (by Google metrics) Men or Women, and that's why the Women are very good.
It's not, however, simpler than ML or Lisp. Just more familiar.
It would be good if there was some website that would aggregate and preserve these predictions along with the names of people who have made them, and then compared them against what actually happened years or decades down the road.

Right now climate science seems to suffer from confirmation bias, that is, people only remember the few predictions that have come true, and forget everything else, such as "Florida will be underwater" from the 00s or "we're all gonna freeze to death" from the 70s.

There is perverse incentive to come out with these outlandish claims, which on the one hand make it easier to get funding, and on the other imply no responsibility whatsoever, since the timeline is often decades in the future, and people's attention spans are short.
Appealing to government authority every time some business does something you don't like should make your list of "so flawed" solutions.

1. No one said it was, but it's their business. We live in a society that allows you to start up your own business in days if you don't like the offering of another private business. Giving up immediately and suggesting that the wielder of force in the society (government) jump in as a parent is usually a fail.

2. That still doesn't give you the right to dictate how they run their business?

There's definitely something going on in our society these days where everyone wants authority to solve all their problems without acknowledging all of the potential problems that strengthening authority leads to. The article below talks about victimhood, but it mainly tries to help illuminate where this appeal to authority strain is coming from.

Do we know how much YouTube involves humans in the process? I wouldn't be surprised if appeals go to a human which clicks the "yeah, nope" button.

Also, buses have a large mass so collisions aren't that bad. That's why school buses don't need seat belts.
