I completely agree with you. I'm in my early 20s and I'd much rather meet someone during my daily interactions than through an app (on which men are typically at a disadvantage). That concept felt a lot more feasible while in school, though, and much more challenging now.
As an employee, I saw my past bosses making the same mistakes over and over. The problems stem from the fact that they are usually engineers promoted to a management role, but they get no training whatsoever.
So I did some research, and I'm writing a short book discussing the essentials of day to day management; with a focus on communication.

Mark my words: this will all come crashing down. I can't tell you when or why, but it's not sustainable.

The irony: lots of people feel the same way about the "real" debt-based modern economy. A ridiculous Ponzi scheme, clearly unsustainable in the long run.

As always, the time horizon matters when talking about investments and sustainability. Given the right time window, everything works, and everything fails.
That is an excellent idea. The only trouble is, the people who make this policies do not see the problem that you and I do. Their problem is to get more votes, and ocassionally to appease violent hooligans. What they have been doing fixes their problems perfectly well. SNAFU.

Not all Windows developers agree with that, though.
Doesn't mean the idea itself is wrong, even if the author is a hypocrite. I don't care really about American politics, but Google and Facebook are dangerously big. I believe Europe should have some protectionism mechanism like China or some other countries to make sure social networks and search engines emerge from Europe. But where do you draw the line between that and censorship? The internet has given a new meaning to national borders or the lack of.
To elaborate, higher octane fuel exists solely to prevent self-detonation in higher compression engines by slowing the fuel's burn rate.

That depends on where you live. I can't have tress within 30 feed of my house, had to have a fire rated roof, etc. I wasn't going to complain about rules like that, especially with ash and embers raining down last night!

I've seen some very nice houses with tress so close you can reach out the window and touch the trunk. I guess they have another home to go to when that one burns.
That was hard to read. Would have been much easier if they just got to the point.
The air bag is there because bashing your head on the steering wheel or dashboard is unhealthy. Not bashing your head on something hard in the first place is even better. (I'm guessing, but don't know for sure, that the front seats are sufficiently weak that they're OK to bang into.)
"federal income tax" is not even close to "tax burden of the federal government".

Income tax is less than half the revenue of the federal government. Payroll taxes are huge, and disproportionately borne by the poor. Excise taxes are huge, and disproportionately borne by the poor. Overall, including state taxes (which are strongly regressive as well) the US has very close to a flat tax system, not progressive at all.

Most expensive keywords on Google can cost something like $50 per click.

If you put a monthly fee for ad free service, probably your mostly valuable customers (those error m with money to spend) are first to switch.

Facebook can probably generate vast amounts of profits from the users if it manages to be part of the actual transaction, not just an ad platform. The same kind offer thing Google was planning with Google Checkout. IIRC the idea was they would not charge for clicks, but would get payment of customer actually makes the purchase.

Think about Facebook first creating for you the urge to buy something (by manipulating you feed) and then selling the thing or taking their cut off the transaction.
RFC2550: Y10K and Beyond (1999)
The rotary was never invented by Mazda, it was invented in germany and applied first by NSU.

Then it was licensed to many manufacturers, among which there was Mercedes-Benz, which was the manufacturer who got solved first the apex seal problem, and in the late 70s with the C111 prototype car, the first manufacturer to create a side port wankel engine (which mazda would only show on the RX8 decades later) and a 4-rotor engine (which mazda would only show on the 787 racing car in 1991.

Then MB ditched the wankel engine because of low fuel efficience, something that ultimately led to mazda doing the same... in the 2000s.

That is so beautifully ironic.

I'm not thin-skinned enough to consider this a threat, but I do think its inflammatory enough to be in violation of HN's guidelines.

Oh, please. It would take some pretty thin skin to even remotely take this personally, rather than as a reference to The Revolution(tm). "First against the wall...", that kind of thing. And, personally, it's a statement worthy of a moment's thought or two, as I'm sure there's a breaking point. I just couldn't say where that might be. Perhaps a 95% top tax rate would forestall that for just a little bit.

I too solved a problem I faced at work - and privately - that I couldn't get anywhere else. It started with a couple of simple scripts for me, and evolved into a full-fledged SaaS solution [1].

The best things - perhaps the only things to really motivate you - are the ones that scratch your own itch. Otherwise, you'll get demotivated or loose interest. You need to build something for you and hope it appeals to others.

First, no one contributes significantly to the climate fund (and it probably wont be until theres significant damage from climate change). The goal was $100b.. the US has pledged $3b, and EU countries have pledged $4.7B.

2nd, it is not outside of US political control. Countries do not pay all of their pledges into the fund. They make payments, basically as needed. The projects that are funded are public. If the US does not like the projects, the President can just refuse to contribute anything else to the fund. I imagine, the US could just earmark funds too (what are they going to do? refuse money? doubt it.) If that's not good enough, the US can always just contribute nothing.

Paris was signed by so many countries because it is completely symbolic. There's no enforcement of anything, and any pledge or goal is entirely up to the country.

Your plan sounds like a good idea.. put an estimate of the amount of carbon that reduces... and you've just created a goal to reduce carbon (just like in Paris!).

In Paris, what happens if your idea turns out to be ineffective? Nothing. What happens if you change your mind? Nothing. What happens if you want to do it differently? Nothing.

That's literally what a carbon goal in Paris is... a vague non-specific plan with a carbon estimate.. that you can change later.

Because Paris forces nothing on to anyone.. the question it really answers is, do politicians/reps of the countries believe in climate change?

Trump has said he believes it's a fraud, completely made up. That's why he withdrew. He has fired climate change scientists, and demanded agencies no longer research the climate, and has removed funds from those agencies for climate change. He has left the heads of scientific agencies completely vacant (no nominations). He doesn't have a plan to accomplish it some other way -- he plans to do nothing. If there was a plan, he could just make that our new paris goal.
This is actually part of the plot of the movie (Three Days of the Condor) and book (Six days of the Condor). The protagonist works at a CIA site where they read basically everything released and break down the plots to see if it has any strategic value and/or state secrets.

If I had to guess, this still goes on at the state level, but this article is about making this sort of data (minus the state secrets awareness) available to the corporations able to afford it.

I'd also say that I think this might be an amusing reversal of the old mantra: Ideas have no intrinsic value. This business is pretty much about the expression of ideas. Maybe they have value because they are writing them down and marketing them.
Oh I would definitely say that debt is looked down upon in Germany. I would say I have generally owed at most a single (monetary) debt at a given time in my life (or two if you count my employer paying me mid-month as a credit of half a month), because debtlessness is freedom (cue Anastacia's Paid My Dues ).
Honestly, it was a dumb pun that inspired me. I started working on Chat & Slash (https://www.chatandslash.com/) when the idea of "Slack & Slash" - an RPG on Slack - come to me during a boring meeting.

Obviously, folks at Slack preferred a less-potentially confusing name, but they liked the idea, so I'm still working on it.
The point is there's a difference between saying I'm biologically predisposed to some preference, and I'm biologically ill-equipped to achieve something.

If you don't see how important this difference is, consider this: if someone is biologically ill-equipped to do something, it's easy to justify not hiring them. If they're predisposed against interest in something, it's easy to simply hire the ones who are interested (their mere application is already a strong indicator against whatever biological predisposition).

edit: That's all to say that saying someone is "biologically ill-equipped" is clearly problematic, while saying someone is "biologically predisposed against interest in x" is maybe problematic, and if so, much less problematic than the former claim.

Nobody grows up learning how to resect tumors or construct an appellate brief in their own home. It's only in computer science that we have the expectation that the "true" pipeline for talent in our field will start at age 11. It's great that some people can get comfortable programming early, but it's not reasonable to suggest that most of the people in our field will do so.

My stutter is minor but definitely rears its ugly head when I'm stressed. Reading aloud also works for me, as well as singing and boisterous conversations (!) I think that rather than confidence (at least for me) the key is to keep the voice going and maintain a normal 'speed' throughout.

Regarding your strangers problem, honestly you're being too harsh to yourself. You won't get judged for asking a question to be repeated!
I understand that the features are optional but the copy reads as stating the app is fun and light and then doesn't go on to list any of the features that make it "fun and light."

There is a colon at the end of the third to last sentence that uses the phrase "fun and light" but then those optional features in the hyphenated list that follows are things that most adults don't generally associate with lightheartedness or fun.

Perhaps you could describe what the light and fun elements of your app are so as to provide contrast to those other optional restrictive and conservative features?

This is a great and really important point. But shouldn't warranting the "encryption" label come down to the security guarantee of the algorithm in question, in the use cases it's meant for? I don't see why non-traditional data obfuscation algorithms can't be equally valid methods of "encryption" just because they are architecturally different. After all there are plenty of traditional encryption approaches that have been deprecated and deemed insufficiently insecure. So it'd be a bigger problem if the definition of encryption became so narrow that practitioners assume security guarantees based on use of the term alone.

IMO the key is that new encryption methods demonstrate levels of security in their intended use cases that users deem sufficiently strong. I agree that all closed-source methods leave room for misleading statements (and I won't speak to Numerai as I don't have any additional insight on their approach). But any algorithm can and should be benchmarked--generally and vs. common standards--to avoid confusion. Serious commercial & public sector users will be quick to ensure so, especially in lieu of massive social proof.

My thought here is that if we draw the line on what warrants "encryption" by saying it's got to be a traditional key-based system, or sufficiently similar to existing approaches, we risk stifling innovation in the space by denying new entrants an industry-standard term that buyers are trained to seek. Non-traditional doesn't necessarily mean non-secure. Would love to hear your thoughts on this.

This may help you refine your intuition about why it could matter: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuCdsyCWmt8&t=5m0s It's an electron microscope animation of a needle passing through a record's groove.

(I would note that due to the way the recording is made, it may be the case that a real needle would jerk around a bit more. On the other hand, it wouldn't have to jerk around much before this entirely stops working, so I'd guess in the end it's probably pretty accurate.)
It was easier to cut the TV time for the kids. Every kid has a cell phone nowadays, for practical and popularity reasons, it's so much more difficult to manage their "online time". In the end, they become more tech-savvy than you and they will remove the technical limits if you happen to set them up for them.
I disagree as well. I took the ML course a long time ago and now I can't remember anything about Octave but still remember those key ideas and algorithms taught in the course. That's the point.
If you're launching one of these, you don't really need investment. You just make sure you own the first batch of currency and get rich if it takes off. If you need investment then you don't really believe in your own stuff do you?

My experience (Fall 2011) is that I didn't really get much ML education out of it because 90% of the coursework was "translate this textbook equation into Matlab".
Absolutely correct. For the other ~99% of humanity, acquiring access to these digital tools has been a massive leap forward in all regards. Whether you were stuck in a small town in Oklahoma, born into a family in Bangalore earning $20 per month, or millions of scenarios around the globe that are in-between. McNamee seems to have no idea how the rest of humanity actually lives and what access to Internet-based information, messaging or media has made possible in terms of dramatic life improvement.
> Unconscious bias retraining does not work.

Interesting assertion without a citation! Unfortunately, you are wrong.
A good meta analysis reference: http://www.people.fas.harvard.edu/~banaji/research/publicati.... I can provide more if you like. I encourage you to review the literature.

> Women in free cultures do not like STEM. That is a fact.

Another interesting assertion! I'll let you do the homework finding citations about how you're wrong here.

> I went to a STEM focused high-school ... blah blah blah

Nice anecdote! Is there anything else about high school that you'd like to generalize to the entire population of the world?

Very interesting. Cancellation semantics of promises have bugged me for a while. Looks promising (no pun intended).

If can make a suggestion--a cookbook of promise interop might be worth adding. There's a fundamental incompatibility, given the cancellation concerns you mention, so I'm sure it couldn't be 100% caveat-free, but it would still ease adoption given the ecosystem's current standardization on promises.
I'm building a game wiki/guide platform right now[1]. The idea mainly came from just wanting to re-create a game's interface on the web[2] and it gradually grew to a game guide and now a multi-game guide platform. I tried to learn new tech on the way to keep myself interested. The large parts being LeafletJS/PixiJS, moving onto React, then Firebase, and so on.

A lot of my web project ideas are related to the video game community because I often use and contribute to them and constantly find certain things lacking (wikis, forums, list trackers, news). So this project has nicely grew into something that I can both learn from and enjoy building for the long term. Of course there are the tedious parts (like upgrades and maintenance) but they're overcome gradually; it is just a side project right now.

I think we are in agreement then.
The problem with this, is that the alt-right have made a habit of this "look how rational I am as i call you subhuman, why are you so upset by rational truth" thing.

Milo Yianoppolos, who most of the time markets himself as an anarchistic troll, will put on his serious face and claim that he is worried about trans people because it's a mental illness and he just wants them to be treated, rather than play along with their disease. And cite studies etc.

Then he'll have a rally and personally attack a trans student. Which isn't really how a serious scientist approaches the mentally ill.

He also attacks overweight people "for their own good" as they need to get healthy. Then he takes a picture of someone he sees at his gym to mock their weight as they work out.

The Bell Curve is a great proto-alt-right example, where the author will say with a cheeky grin that he never actually said that black people were genetically inferior, even though everyone who read it clearly got that message,whether they agree with it or not. And when he wrote a book saying black people have never contributed anything of any worth to music, why that's just objective science.

The Orwellian double talk of Trump is another classic example. More jobs via trade wars. Yes the author is right, a critique of pointless trade wars shouldn't be called anti-jobs, because journalist should be (and to some degree are) calling Trump's proposals anti-jobs themselves. Why on earth would you think this a valid example to give? It's an obvious con job.

So at some point, you realise that people are just playing a game with you.

But no, surely this man who thinks gay rights are a Marxist plot to take down capitalist America, surely he is only interested in seeking the unvarnished scientific truth?! Fool me once..
One source of high load average spikes that I've seen in my job is when a process crashes and generates a core dump. While the core dump is being written, all threads in the process are in the TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE state even though they are doing absolutely nothing, and as such they all count towards the load average as if they were spinning on on a CPU core. If the total virtual memory of the process is large, say in the multi-GB range, coredumping can take on the order of a minute, and Linux will report an unreasonably high load average if that process had a lot of running threads.

Things like the above scenario make me treat the load average metric with a lot of skepticism. I would much rather use other metrics to infer load.

So if, hypothetically, dark matter had some detrimental effect in those parts of the universe where it appears in overly high concentrations (making the universe less "interesting" in those parts... less able to produce life-bearing planets, say) --

-- then black holes would, in effect, be (our) universe's GC mechanism. Or at least, its "janitors" in some form.

Pretty cool.

I'm starting to seriously think that moving out to the middle of nowhere and letting my kids run around and play in the woods all day would be the absolute best thing I could for them. Along with a shed to build stuff. I have a six-year-old who is obsessed with YouTube Baby Alive videos and gets very, very upset as we limit her time watching them. It's upsetting for everyone involved as what started out as a cool, fun thing for her as evolved into a daily problem.
I'm 41 and working on my second career shift. I was originally a lawyer and switched to content marketing about two and a half years ago. I'm currently learning HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and (eventually) PHP. @saluki, your comment is terrific. It speaks too many of my challenges at the moment.

I want to update the CSS of a WordPress theme for my wife's blog and I started reading through the theme files today. It seems really complicated and like a mountain to climb.

What I started thinking is that, maybe, the solution is to break the whole project down into smaller chunks and handle them, one at a time. My career change feels pretty similar: one step at a time.
