This is sooo cool! Great job.

One thing that might be helpful is to have a separate (informational) page that indicates what the diamond looked like at other period of economic failure--in fact, what it looked like leading up to the period of failure/crash would be really interesting.

I'm curious: How quickly can some of these variables changes? For example, it seems the VIX is at it's low end--how quickly can it spike to say, 30? How fast can the other vars change?
John Gruber, the blogger mentioned in the article, thought the same thing:

Why not use a headset? They work really well at blocking out background noise (we use the plantronics ones). Worth every cent.
Exact position I'm in right now. I've conveyed this to my boss, starting a year ago, but I think he realized that we just don't have anything challenging to work on.

I'm interviewing for two jobs now.
That's a very peculiar variant of the "think of the children!" argument; that you should buy things you don't want (stuff made with child labour) in order to stop children you don't know from crushing rocks.

> they have essentially removed from the economy jobs for those children.

Jobs for those children, but not jobs from the economy, period. It's not like the demand for garments just dissipated into thin air with that legislation. The work is still there, and Bangladesh has a surfeit of labour.
The irony of being voted down for my differing opinion is so delicious.
I've just found the gist of it.

You can save yourselves the pain of watching the whole thing and just go to the summary:

I believe it's the most important part of the video and also a link that you can send to people who think they know better what the author of the memo meant.
Well, not really. Most content providers don't even have affiliate programms.
> If you live on the West Coast and want your children to be able to read Hacker News, then you better send them to a private school.

You know University of Phoenix is a private school right? It's just run for profit. (edit: also Trump University is a private school)

The difference between private school and public is if it's state run.

So you're basically saying Cal, UCLA, UCSF, and other good public school aren't able to read Hacker News...

I have seen the impact of mines like this first hand in many third world countries. It is not what you think.

The people work horrendous hours for a tiny amount of money - maybe 50 cents per day. At the end of the day they need to pay for food (no time to grow it) and pay for people to do things like make their shelter, clothes and transport (no time to do it for themselves). And so they have zero money left. They also work in horrible conditions and have a life expectancy of ~40.

In many countries (Cameroon, Bolivia, Ivory Coast, Senegal, etc. etc.) I have seen where this crosses a line, and the locals simply choose not to work and just go back to growing their own food etc. Often they are happier and better off.

Yes, this forces the wages to go up a tiny fraction, but in reality it is almost nothing, because there are always more naive country-folk coming in who think (as you do) "having a job is great" and they will "provide for their families" etc. By the time they figure out the whole thing is a terrible scam and quit, they already live in a slum in the city and can't go back. They are trapped. They probably even owe the mine some money or live in housing provided by the mine, so they are literally owned.

Your idealized view of Capitalism is plain wrong. It does not happen like that in countries that do not have strict labor laws. (and even then, I would argue that many in the USA are working-slaves)

Read Grapes of Wrath if you have not, it does a fantastic job of illustrating how people become trapped in extremely low-paying jobs with little to no choice.
He says, 'I welcome discussion about the responses of Galileo, Kolmogorov, and other historical figures to official ideologies that they didn’t believe in; and about the meta-question of how a truth-valuing person ought to behave when living under such ideologies. In the hopes of maintaining a civil discussion, any comments that mention current hot-button ideological disputes will be ruthlessly deleted.' so it doesn't sound that way to me... more likely related to something in the Texas legislature, though he might be sympathetic to someone who's been dogpiled by the modern media.
Not exactly a '4-hour work week' but after reading the book, I have put in a lot of effort into automating a lot of daily recurring browsing activity for which I used to waste time daily. Since I prefer email as the main mode of communication, I have developed automation to extract and send all the important information (for which I used to browse) to me via email daily or hourly. Activities like tech news updates with word cloud, real estate searches, stock prices of interested stocks and many more. This saves me a ton of time by not randomly starting to browse. I attend to only important emails from these email updates.

I'm sorry, the summaries are quite superficial.
Reducing interruptions from people is a feature; not a bug. Maybe you would only do it when it would save you an hour; more commonly, people have a much lower "interrupt someone trying to work" threshold.
Is it just a claim though? It seems quite factual
My thoughts exactly. I don't think Damore is necessarily a bad person. Not everyone who opposes his memo came into their own belief systems a priori. But those people are more cognizant of their own blind spots/igonorance and don't attend to push a manifesto onto their entire company message board.

It's worse than that. Netflix is limited to 720p in Chrome and Firefox.
We're getting to the heart of the matter here. Presumably, you are upset about the implication that the mind is not a blank slate.

So, are you upset because this makes you uncomfortable about biological predispositions, particularly the personality types that the author originally brought up, or do you hold that such a position flies in the face of the facts? If it's the latter, you can spare talking about your favorite social science models, because unfortunately they're not the "facts" we're looking for. Actually, they're not facts at all.
Under Better Metrics the author discusses ways of drilling down to find the source of a high load average. I feel like this section should mention `atop`, which is imo a really underrated single-pane-of-glass view into everything your system is doing, now and historically.

If you haven't tried `atop`, give it a go.

This historical analysis in this article though is great, because while Load Average has been an oft discussed and we'll understood topic for a long time, the decisions that got us there are not.
Interesting, the variations in explaining this stuff away. Here are you saying "this labour is just part of being a family in Africa", and upthread there's someone saying "if children didn't have these jobs, they'd be forced into prostitution".

> When parents know that there are some dangerous chemicals, they would not involve their children.

I've seen first-hand, here in a first-world country, people with engineering degrees working in manufacturing with dangerous chemicals refuse to bother putting on safety gear.

This article literally has nothing to do with Google. Also, these researchers are not suggesting anything; this is just the results they've discovered after trying to give an edge to women and ethnic minorities by removing that type of information from CVs.
I don't understand this stupidity - the original dude who wrote this thing.

A company is not a place to air out your public opinion internally and expect no consequences. This is not the National Monument. This is not your open Mike night in your comedy club. This is not where you scream and run and then cry first amendment first amendment.

This is a place of work. Actual women work with this dude. Imagine how they would feel. Imagine the potential number of people he interviewed that were women or minorities.

Nobody's telling this sad dude what to do outside of work. He could very well go and participate in all far right movements as he pleases.

But to espouse a stupid thing as 'women are less capable' and expect NOT to be fired seems like he was playing with fire by first setting things on fire.

And let's not get started on 'did you ACTUALLY read his memo? He didn't say that on page 4 line 43' like this is some Tolstoy level philosophical meta writing. This is mediocre crap written by a dude looking for a reason to get offended and throw shit around - someone who I think probably landed on the wrong side of Reddit or 4chan often times.

Sorry. The most serious crime I think is his ingenious creativity that made the CEO and many well-respected people to actually read his crap. If I only had that talent, I would become a professional performance artist and quit software engineering.
Huh. I must have missed the bit where there were secret police rounding up dissedents and sticking them in camps where they were worked to death in Texas.

I'm surprised I haven't heard more about it.
I'm not really sure how to ask this politely, but have there also been troubles like already married people using the app or something?

It is due to reserve distribution. It just happens that the richest cobalt reserve on the Earth found so far is located at Mukondo, Katanga, Congo.
>Is calling my co-workers who are people of colour racial slurs a thought crime?

Probably. Did the Google guy do even remotely that (or the sexist analogous)? No.

>At what point does saying things stops becoming thought crime, and starts becoming 'creating a hostile work environment'? There has to be a point of crossover, somewhere, right?

That would be relevant if I had said that there's no point of crossover.

But my "thought crime" argument wasn't that saying some things can't be "beyond the pale" (which I can agree with).

Rather it was that today some things can't even be discussed openly with rational arguments because people are not allowed to even touch them without automatically being labelled -- however good their intentions are and however sensical their arguments -- or how in accordance to science.
Actually, his conclusion itself was also sourced: his main contention was that Google should reconsider its positive discrimination policies, and he cited a WSJ article reporting that positive discrimination can lead to more gender strife.

I think the standard that you have set for the author expressing these opinions is unfairly high, and the bar that you have set for yourself for criticizing him for expressing that is unfairly low. You criticize that the author has cherry-picked his sources; you now have to support that claim by showing the deluge of counter-studies that show that it is not true that women are inclined to X personality. I've checked the Slate article and it doesn't link to sources that show that. In fact, the first paragraph of the article links to articles that agree with that WSJ article and with the author that discrim. leads to gender strife.

Howdy, I have been running both macOS and iOS betas on my personal devices and both iTunes and Music have had a significant UX overhaul on macOS 10.13 and iOS 11, they’re not perfect - but it’s a good step forward.

A bit high level but here’s my list of pros:

- I’ve found a lot less missing tracks / albums, especially for more underground / lesser known artists I had real problems with this on Spotify.

- Significantly less bandwidth usage compared to Spotify.

- Unified interface to my music library (1.2TB~) and streaming / downloadable music on both the desktop and phone.

- The ability to have my own music uploaded as part of my library and available on all desktops/laptops and my phone.

- Apple Music data is unmetered on my mobile provider (I average around 8GB/mo of mobile music streaming on my phone)

- The Music app on my phone is /really/ good at figuring out what music/playlists/albums to sync (prefetch if you will) onto my phone, I set the data limit (to 128GB) and it just figures it out nicely, often when I go to listen to a new album from an artist I follow / like - its already there for me (note: I believe this is opt-in functionality)

What I don’t like about Apple Music / think needs to improve:

- Playlists, They’re not as nice or as fast to manage as on Spotify but at least tracks don’t go missing randomly.

- Artist/Album workflow performance, at times it still feels very ‘webframe’ (if that makes sense?) when browsing artists and their albums, the UI latency really annoys me and I liken it to the feeling that JavaScript ‘apps’ give you.
As a sidepoint:

You know what's annoying? When sites implement views that capture all your input on mobile, potentially trapping you and preventing scrolling away from them. This site is a good example of this.

I used to pay for HBO Nordic but now I don't even do that anymore since the quality is so bad and they rely on flash so I can't play any content on my Xbox.

Pirated films are still 10x the quality and I don't have to swap between 4-5 apps to find the content I want. I pay for a VPN connection.

I can't contradict you, you clearly are better informed than me. It was in a documentary about the end of the war and its aftermath, in Germany. It did also mention the rapes by Russian soldiers and then it singled out the French areas in the West. I am not sure why it mentioned colonial soldiers in particular but it did. I may have exaggerated when I said 'vast majority', I can't remember the exact words.
They interviewed a doctor who carried out abortions and he mentioned that the situation of the girls he came into contact with was very bad. The impression I came away with was that it was the soldiers from the countries that were invaded by Germany that let their soldiers have free rein when it came to rape. In the British area there was a lot of 'liberation' ie looting but no mention of rape. Also one british soldier mentioned that the british administrators were a mixed lot with many having an 'eye for the main chance'.
The American sector wasn't mentioned at all except to contrast it with the British one where there was no end of bureaucracy and where there were five times the number of administrators.
Too bad these streaming survices are run by companies with unlimited money, otherwise I would hope for some big crash where only the few good ones survived. Not that I want a monopoly situation either, so... Never mind, I guess.

The difference, of course, between Galileo and Kolmogorov is that people are aware of Galileo. Acquiescing keeps intellectuals comfortable, but that's about all you can say for it.

There's been a few of these articles linked on HN recently, including Paul Graham's original http://www.paulgraham.com/say.html, with a more or less identical thesis (be quiet) that camouflages real message: that the author is signalling support for the heresy, carefully.

Does uBlock Origin block YouTube ads?

I'm asking because it's been years since I saw/was forced to watch a video ad on YouTube. Sure, there are occasionally the banner ads at specific times in the videos, but no video ads.

So either the channels I watch have somehow opte out of video ads, or uBlock is taking care of them?

Or maybe this is a geographic thing and YouTube in Germany doesn't show video ads?

Anyway, if you have Android and want to watch on mobile, I highly recommend NewPipe (F-Droid). Lets you: watch, listen, download, repeat YouTube videos and I've never seen an ad in it. Really awesome app!

Oh wonderful. They don't do estimates at your company
then?

You can do estimates without thinking they're accurate enough to let you detect high- and low-performing employees.

Intern Ian's tasks are simple and well documented - so they always have good estimates. Veteran Victor is great at complex, poorly understood bugs - but he often takes longer than estimated to fix them, as often the cause is hard to find.

It would be a foolish manager that would punish Victor for performing worse than Ian.

There is no such thing as "anonymous LLC". Being in that business far longer than that company existed, I should know it. We have registered LLC companies all over states for decades.

Anonymity is not absolute. The simple fact that manager and member names need not be disclosed to Secretaries of States does not make the LLC "anonymous".

Anonymous means having no known name or identity or known source.

Each LLC company must have its organizer, the person registering the company. Organizer may me the member of the LLC or the agent.

Each LLC company must have its registered agent, and such agent must keep information of members and managers ready in their offices, and shall give it to Secretary of State upon request, or to any courts upon court orders. Failures to maintain correct information of the members/managers of the company are penalized.

The title is misleading.
The Gell-Mann Amnesia effect is as follows: You open the newspaper to an article on some subject you know well. You read the article and see the journalist has absolutely no understanding of either the facts or the issues. Often, the article is so wrong it actually presents the story backward—reversing cause and effect. I call these the "wet streets cause rain" stories. Paper's full of them.

In any case, you read with exasperation or amusement the multiple errors in a story, and then turn the page to national or international affairs, and read as if the rest of the newspaper was somehow more accurate about Palestine than the baloney you just read. You turn the page, and forget what you know.

Much more than half the world's population is unsuitable for technical work because of their lack of skills or interest. Is that bigoted nonsense?

Desktop PC for programming – big budget
I'm a freelance developer doing lot of work, and want to loose as little as possible time on:

* system loading (Windows)
* apps loading (mainly visual studio from the bigger ones)
* compiling
* starting of my apps
* running virtual machines for testing apps and doing development on Linux when needed
* backups, source control

My current setup is:

* Intel i7-6700K
* 32 GB Ram
* AMD Radeon F9 Fury Series
* Asus - Z170I PRO GAMING Mini ITX LGA1151 Motherboard
* NVMe Samsung SSD 950 Pro 512 GB - for system and apps
* SATA Samsung 850 EVO 512 GB - for virtual machines
* Some WD 1TB - for before-NAS backups and some stuff

So now I'm thinking, if I can get something faster.

My budget is maybe not unlimited, but if I can gain some speed, I can afford it, it's my job, I don't want to do savings on it.
Obviously if an i9 for over $1000 gives me less than 10% advantage to an $500 worth i7 I may consider the cheaper one.

My current options:

1) i7-7820X with X299 chipset
2) i7-7740X with X299 chipset
3) Wait for i7-8700K, bigger i9 or Ryzen Threadripper?
4) Some AMD Ryzen?

In either case I would like to have two NVMe SSD drives in RAID and 4-channel RAM

What of above options would be a reasonable starting point? Is considering my current build and requirements a good time to build a new PC, or better wait what brings 2018?
