Many police departments are hiring. It's surprisingly hard to recruit cops, even though the job pays well and offers very early retirement. If someone wants to be a cop, and can't get hired, they probably shouldn't be a cop.

The LAPD even has a "reserve program". "Not ready for full-time yet? But you still want to make a difference... Find out more about our exciting reserves program." This guy probably wouldn't have qualified.
I think that's unlikely, prior to the card system you needed to purchase a token and drop it in the slot in the turn style so they could still account for ridership.

A more likely explanation is that Metro Cards simply made it a better deal since they now allowed you to transfer between the subway and bus on the same fare and they also offered riders unlimited 7 day and unlimited 30 day options.

I remember one of the books in my algorithms class actively discouraged debuggers and advocated for harder reasoning and inserting print statements. Their reasoning was that programmes are too quick to reach for a debugger rather than really understanding their code. I'm still not sure how I feel about that.

I do agree with your sentiments entirely but the MTA should be doing much better.

Transport for London (IMO the complete opposite of MTA: on the whole incredibly well run and generally well funded) has went from making an enormous operational loss to near break even in the last 15 years. If the trends hold it is projected to make a >£1bn operational profit per year by 2021.

NB I'm talking about operational expenditure not capital, which is funded from grants from govt, which currently stand at around £3bn per annum. It's possible to see how it could be entirely profit generating in a couple of decades though Inc capex. Assuming everyone doesn't leave due to brexit.

> Reading the reactions to the manifesto I'm left feeling like I'm taking crazy pills

I've discovered several years ago, debating very similar issues on usenet, that people (maybe some people, but a good proportion in any case) have the ability to make themselves perfectly blind to aspects of reality they decided to disregard. They'll be even ready to contradict themselves multiple times in the space of a few sentences, and never admit it, rather than allowing the possibility of a different view. I think it must be what allowed religious piety and bigotry to flourish for millennia: a natural disposition to stand with all your heart and soul to defend ideas that unite a community. Climate change (irrespective of its scientific validity) is another of those.
My recommendations for rate limiting:

1) Sign session ids that you issue and reject requests that don't have a valid signature. This can be done entirely in software at the router level without any I/O

2) For each session, do authentication. Unauthenticated sessions get lower caps.

3) For authenticated sessions, have various schemes for X units of Y in Z seconds. And then use this database - sharded by Y - before each expensive Y.

4) Y should be prefixed with a user role or payment plan or whatever, followed by the actual resource id. So people can buy another payment plan.

5) Possibly let people pay to access a resource beyond the quota.

6) Make clients recognize quota errors and retry with exponential backoff.

7) Host static resources in the app, fallback to a CDN, and only host dynamic resources on your own source servers.

8) Wherever possible, cache things in the client, keeping in mind that you have to evict the lease recently used items eventually.

Curry-Howard isomorphism does not mean the same practices that are performed in mathematics research must be applied to writing software.

If the family is accessible I've found this to be a wonderful proxy for compatibility. Is their family structure how you'd like yours? Do you get along with and easily make friends with other family members?

It's a good sign if your personality is compatible with the family and their way of life is what you're looking for.

It's of my top indicators, I've rarely found people that strayed very far from their family in personality, hobbies, and life outlook.

The issue is that he is trying to solve an social problem via engineering, and in trying to simplify the problem, not spending enough time researching, and by "de emphasizing empathy" he takes a step backwards.

Basically, he sets forward incorrect assertions about biological differences without the self-awareness about why he takes those differences as truth. For instance "Women on average show a higher interest in people and men in things". This is true at least in a very large part because women are socialized from birth to do so. There are dozens of similar examples.

The people unhappy with him are frustrated by always having to make the same damn argument to the same people who somehow think behavioral evolution is the end-all-be-all, as if somehow the computer they're typing on was a natural result of that evolution.

Now, in this particular case I don't think the author had any bad intent, and I think people who disagree should argue straightforwardly and use this as a great, clear opportunity to address the many people who actually do agree with this person but don't speak out. I also think the author has some good feedback when it comes to how dissenting opinions are heard on the left, but it's overshadowed by his lack of understanding of the more serious problem of bias and discrimination of women in tech. (yes, it is a more serious problem than conservatives being unable to express their views - at least they can choose to talk or not, even if I'd rather everyone be able to freely share their views)

I don't think it works that way.
This version is problematically simplistic: I have +10 and you have -2; now add Affirmative Action and I've got +8 and you've got +2. I'm still not receiving negative discrimination.
But, you're also missing the follow-on effects; specifically:

1) People who are not actually deserving on their own merits, but were getting in due to the privilege boost, are no longer present.

2) People who are actually deserving on their own merits, but were not getting due to other disadvantages, are now present.
Overall merit of my coworkers goes up; I'm now working with better people and so get better/faster myself.

It didn't start as a zero-sum game; it's not going to end up as a zero-sum game.

I agree, insides on the Ethereum tech (like how their proof of work relates to smart contract state, where the DAG fits in) are very brief / difficult to digest at some points.

Ethereum is elegant in many ways - for example, strengthening security by rewarding the linking of orphan blocks in the network. I think there's a need for some better education between the marketing material and War and Peace white/yellow paper ;)
> there is no reason to think of all possible nonexistent side effects

But there is. Actually there are two reasons.

The first is that the "non-existent side-effects" are only non-existent in certain circumstances, i.e. an action's effects depends heavily on the context in which it is executed. Moving X from A to B can have lots of other effects beyond changing the location of X depending on the circumstances. These effects can be arbitrary -- consider for example the case where X is a switch and A is the OFF position and B is the ON position.

The second is that there really is no such thing as a truly non-existent side-effect because even a null action -- waiting, doing nothing -- results in change, and sometimes that change turns out to be the best way to achieve your goal. For example, if you're a farmer whose goal is to water their crops, one way to do it is to do nothing and wait for rain. But to figure out whether or not that's what you should do you have to know an awful lot about how the world works.

In fact, waiting and doing nothing is often an integral part of many goal-achieving procedures. Think about, for example, traveling as a passenger on an airplane. The usual procedure goes something like:

Buy a ticket
Wait
Go to the airport
Wait
Board the plane
Wait
Disembark the plane

If you leave out the null actions, that procedure fails badly.

The giant credit company just joined the cryptocurrency world by making a patent application to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). The title of the patent is “Information Transaction Infrastructure,” was filed on sometime in January, but it took until August 3rd for USPTO to approve the application and publish it on their website.
The PITI on my house is $1,250 ($750 P+I) with a 20% down payment at a 30 year fixed interest loan. I use about $200/month in utilities. This site says I can rent my entire house out for $210 a day so, in theory, renting it for seven days would pay for the housing costs ignoring any increase in insurance and utilities for turning it into a short term rental and totally ignoring maintenance and labor. (which, obviously, is a significant cost) Realistically I wouldn't be cash flow positive until day nine at least.

However, I think that's unrealistic, I believe the demand for my house would be extremely low at that price point. My house is very appealing for residents, I don't see it being particularly appealing for travelers and there's cheaper options for travelers.

My neighborhood is zoned residential, however, so I seriously doubt turning it into a hotel would be legal. My neighbors would complain as well (and that's nothing against them)

>Curious about this one, esp given the distance. My family lives in multiple states, and I estimate at best 5-6 days with a 50% chance of seeing some of them in a year. And if I was married and had kids, I'd drop that guess to about 25%.

Interestingly, every single one of not unsuccessful marriages/long term relationships that I know of has "extended family" compatibility in common.
Retries aren't the only option if you control (or can at least influence) the client. Fallback sources and sane (or customer preferential) defaults are some additional options when the primary source of truth is unavailable. Both of these bypass thundering heard situations where recovery can be difficult even if the application returns to full health.

As a concrete example, when I worked at a large online retailer, we had to check certain customer properties during checkout. In the optimal case, we went to a service which fronted a consistent, transactional database. If that service failed or timed out, we had the option to hit a fast cache which generally was only a few milliseconds out of date. Finally, we could use less authoritative data that came from the application earlier, and if present, would always be in the customer's favor. That made it unlikely that our service ever appeared "down" regardless of the state of the dependencies.

Women don't go into tech because they don't like it. Boys like legos, girls like dolls. Sure there are occasional tomboys but the fact is most girls just don't like engineering.
"Hey, money isn't everything" - Someone with a comfortable amount of money
> What you just wrote is the equivalent of a climate change denier writing:

I think if you want your argument to be more convincing, it would be nice to spend less effort on trying to brand the opponents "climate change denier", which sounds like a thinly veiled attempt to capitalize on a tribal thought-terminating cliche - basically a highbrow structural equivalent of calling someone a Nazi - if you're in any way like a Nazi, you can't win an argument, whatever the argument is about, because that would mean being a Nazi is good, and we all agree it can't be true! Addressing the argument directly instead of trying to affix the killer label is what should distinguish a reasoned rational discussion from a televised political debate.

> but there is zero reason for anyone grounded in rational skepticism to take the people attacking this guy on science any more seriously than they would take climate change deniers or anti-vaxxers, etc.

There is also zero reason to consider comparing somebody do anti-vaxxers or any other outgroup a rational argument. You have many good points here, you don't have to boost them with irrational appeals to tribal cliches (even if you assume everybody is in the same tribe as you, it's still not rational argument). Pleading the rational arguments is better than pounding the table.
I think if you take a population that has been the subject of generations of systemic government oppression, remove it (allegedly), and then declare "fairness accomplished! You are free to complete on a level playing field! Pay no attention to the effects of generational poverty!" you are on real dubious ground. This would also presuppose that we have successfully eliminated systemic racism from our society, which is... an argument that would require substantial supporting evidence.

And with respect to the whole "taking of jobs", I will add a more comprehensively researched rebuttal to my own anecdotal experience: if you're good, you're in no danger of getting caught up in a quota system. Competent white folks are doing just fine. The less-competent.... probably should cowboy up. As my exploited millennials would say: "git gud".

Predicting Flight Cancellations Using Weather Data
I do think most libertarians would agree that the city agents, who have sold the street's rights to someone else due to an arbitrary breech of contract, have acted completely in bad faith and have thus nullified their contract with the new buyer

What the city should have done is physically approached the landowners and done a large public outreach to raise the very small public tax due... before seizing it and selling it to anyone. And now the person who has purchased it wants to seek rent, as if their action is somehow beneficial to anyone but themselves. And the city's argument is that arbitrarily selling community property despite poor serving of papers is how business should continue? Yikes.
As others have noted, you're assuming a natural optimization in labor markets that is unproven. It seems like you're arguing that the value proposition of paying 0.9x wages for an employee of 1.0x talent would cause companies to snatch up all such disadvantaged workers, which in turn would result in their market price equalizing.
But that's a circular argument. The whole point that diversity proponents are arguing is that organizations and their hiring managers aren't rational economic actors, and that their biases have in fact distorted the market. So not exactly the invisible hand of balance you're talking about.

Also, for goodness sake, stop saying "SJW." Whether you're trying to win hearts and minds or just trololol, it doesn't matter; you'll do better without it. Because when I read it, I just feel a little sad and embarrassed for the person writing it.

But that problem is present in virtually all homework in CS.

Someone already wrote a Celsius to Fahrenheit conversion function, a simple ray-tracer, a quicksort, a toy Lisp, a text-file-based simple inventory system, etc ...

We could make up a back story about this to give it real-world plausibility: yes, the function is already written, but it's in an expensive, proprietary third-party library which we cannot ship without paying royalty fees and being bogged down with various inconvenient restrictions.

As for the rest of your comment, it perfectly illustrates my comment above about critics having no clue what this guy is saying. At the very minimum, you are dead wrong to claim the author does not say that diversity is important and that Google should not address it. He simply says it should be addressed in non-discriminatory ways, something any sensible reader should have noticed had they read the ENTIRE SECTION he included titled "Non-discriminatory ways to reduce the gender gap".

And with that, I'm jumping out of this discussion: it pollutes the HN discussion section to have to repeatedly state what the article under discussion actually says.

"Delivery manager" is basically how people say "project manager" now. Their job is to set priorities, triage incoming issues, make sure everyone knows what everyone else is doing (when relevant); coordinate with third parties or external integrations, etc. Product owner is who you're building the product for - in client services it would be your client; for internal projects it would be who is "driving" (more bizspeak) the project - could be the CEO or a marketing person or a VP or whatever. Tech Lead is responsible for making technical decisions, architecture, hopefully writing some code, etc.
