I get where you are coming from. But a lot of employees have the authority to decide this kind of thing for themselves. Making them subject to technical restrictions can make it harder to make progress on projects. It's like telling people not to give each other pieces of paper or talk outside of official channels. That might make sense at Nasa mission control (for example), but it does not where I work.
One factor that contributes to making cash slower in USA is the fact that the price displayed isn't the price you have to pay (because of taxes added at checkout time). You end up having to handle random amount of small change for something that ended up being $10.21 (but advertised as $9.99).

In most EU countries, the item would be priced at €10, you would pay with a €10 bill and move on.

Some people will still own cars. But owning a car will shift from being a necessity (as it is for people today in areas without adequate transit systems) to a luxury.

Sundar Pichai (the CEO) did the same thing in his letter to employees:

"However, portions of the memo violate our Code of Conduct and cross the line by advancing harmful gender stereotypes in our workplace. [...] To suggest a group of our colleagues have traits that make them less biologically suited to that work is offensive and not OK."

Oh, I forgot to do what I always do when I recommend King's book - skip the autobiography at the beginning :P

Maybe if someone really likes King's works it'd be worth reading, but I didn't find it that interesting. I think perhaps if someone wanted to make a career out of writing, it'd be good to get a perspective on what it took him to "make it." Otherwise, eh.

Inflation lowers inequality. Specifically, inflation is good for labor who often carry large debts in the form of mortgages and education loans and whose income is entirely dependent upon aggregate demand. This is why you'll often see labor economists advocating for a higher inflation target then the Fed's measely 2% target.

The answer is taxes. Taxes were cut drastically in the 1980s, across the board, at the state and federal levels. It's a good idea to compare the US to Europe. These nosebleed levels of inequality are actually unique to the US. Europe has experienced rising inequality since 1980 but nothing compared to the US. Compare, say, the US and France [1].

The reality is Americans like massive inequality and they have voted for it again and again.

I am thinking a short position in bitcoin is in my near future. I am not saying bitcoin is doomed to fail but I am pretty confident this shit coin crazy is going to hit the fan sooner or later and it's going to drag the "legitimate" crypto currencies down.
When I pay with cash and the change would be below 5 cents, I usually say "Stimmt so" (i.e. "keep the change") and just leave. If I forget and the cashier puts change on the counter, I just pick the golden and silver coins and leave the rest lying there.

I don't remember any unfriendly looks. But then again, I'm German, so I probably just didn't notice the looks. :)
The context of this discussion, diversity in gender and race, already contains a lot of implicit meaning in the form of the historical development of the culture of discrimination. It's not at all harmful to acknowledge the long, deep history of the use of dog whistle language and malicious intent disguised as thoughtful rhetoric, especially by those who are in the position of power (men, whites, and especially white men).
Same here. I really hope the keyboard is as good as old-school Thinkpads and I'm crossing my fingers for 3:2 aspect ratio.
Not sure what's up with this article, neither of the vDOS founders have been arrested recently.

Possibly accidentally posted an old article or something? The vDOS founders were raided a long time ago and the case has been steadily falling apart ever since.

When I taught chess, we encouraged young players not to play "hope chess." Which means, making a move based on what you hope the opponent will do, not based on what you actually think is the best (or even a good) move. Playing a game based on logic, not based on hope, is both part of having a good strategy for any game and part of growing up. You can't just hope life's obstacles away.

And yet, by their actions and their rhetoric, "American liberals" seem to be implying that hoping that Trump gets impeached is, in fact, a viable political program, despite "rationally" knowing that the odds are against it, and that their denial of the reality is more likely to lead to 8 years of President Trump than 0 years.

The smugness is just a symptom of a much deeper childishness in the Democratic party.

I deliberately referenced it because I wanted to convey that there was nothing implicitly wrong in the wording he (Marco Rubio) used, and that the blunder wasn't specifically about to the wording but the use to which it was put, and that the same wording _can_ be used properly too, as I hoped I did.
mJS allows you to use C/C++ SDK functions directly without writing a glue code - basically, you can prototype things quite fast with the libraries/drivers that do not have any scripting support yet.

If they did it for easy click-bait money, it's ethically bad.
But if they did it on purpose, this is even worse, because it means they manipulate other narratives in the same way. If they can convince very smart HN readers, how totally helpless is the rest of the population?
Well, North korea has been working on nukes for like 40 years and there hasn't been a war yet so I don't think the US is as eager as you think.

You don't see anything wrong with a madman in a country always on the edge of collapse that's constantly threatening to turn the USA into a crater having nuclear weapons?

Kimmy is over there threatening to bomb out the US and Japan and put everyone's heads on pikes pretty much weekly. I don't recall even our crazy fucker president Trump saying anything remotely close to that.
Well I happen to live in Greece so I witnessed first hand the results of his reign. You probably have no idea how it is to live in a country that has capital controls so let me enlighten you. The first months, until the system was somewhat stabilized, in order to pay for servers and such we had to ask for favors from Greeks who lived abroad. Imagine having half a dozen servers to pay and not knowing if you will manage to find someone/someway to send money abroad.

So yes, the guy was a fucking disaster. But you have the luxury to judge him without living the consequences of his actions and for that I can't blame you.
Well externally measurable events such as actual nuclear tests are easier to verify that allegedly covert operations. And it helps when NK publicly documents successful tests in their media.
The big difference is that back in the day, the opposing side was consisting of fairly reasonable people.

There's nothing wrong with that, capitalism would even things out, a company that is sexist will make less money than one that isn't. This is because the available talent for a company is more limited if you exclude women.

IIRC, Ng explicitly mentioned that he taught the course in a few languages over the years (Python, Matlab, R, Octave), and he got the best results with Octave because of how simple the language is and how much is built in.
I don't have much more to offer over the other comments, other than to bolster the requests for more information. Would love to hear about what venue/service you're using for this, and if you're willing to share, how much money you're funneling into this kind of patronage.

'...our Code of Conduct, which expects “each Googler to do their utmost to create a workplace culture that is free of harassment, intimidation, bias and unlawful discrimination.”'

What's confusing or unclear about that? It's crystal clear to me that Google prioritizes a workplace free of harassment over your individual ideology. If your ideology makes other employees feel harassed or intimidated, you'll have to leave your ideology at home.

And if you're not clever enough to understand that a statement in a widespread memo like "women, on average, have more neuroticism (higher anxiety, lower stress tolerance)" could cause one gender to feel intimidated or harassed, then perhaps you're not clever enough to work at Google.
At the end it was for the better (except for my mom's and grandmother's - when she was alive - deep suffering of course). We divorced from the vicious part of the family, no contact at all with a few aunts and cousins, my parents fortunately could afford to give up of their part of the inheritance and it was totally worth to buy our freedom of any need for future contact with them.

For me, it was a lesson that absurd unethical behavior within a family happens in real life, it is not a thing of soap opera.

Fortunately, there was no crime committed in my case. "Only" obnoxious behavior, greed, and extreme selfishness.
Hopefully not, at least not yet. That doesn't sound nearly as safe, or as accountable— you just wouldn't have the same situational awareness looking at sensor feeds vs. looking out the actual windows.

http://www.yardi.com/anz/services/interfaces/ - Yardi is a property management solution I think. We had one of their customers want to connect to our system. Yardi charges $25,000 a year PER API of which there are 9.

That seems insane to me. How common is it to charge your customers that are already paying you more to use an API?

This is a good point! Most dating apps have Facebook login and grab a bunch of information from Facebook. Maybe this platform for single people grabs data from Facebook.

I like the idea of having LinkedIn and not just adding all my work contacts on Facebook. I want to be sure that the information I share on the dating platform and Facebook don't mix too easily. Curating my Facebook data once when signing up to a dating app is fine.

I thought that (reasonably slow) inflation would help the middle class and be more or less neutral to the poor.

Inflation doesn't affect your day to day purchases much. Prices go up, but wages go up too (wages are just prices on labor) so it cancels out. What it affects is savings and investments.

Your typical middle class person has some savings and a big mortgage. Their net worth is positive but their net cash is negative. Inflation effectively shrinks their debt over time, making them better off.

Poorer people living paycheck-to-paycheck without significant assets or debts aren't much affected either way.

Wealthy people probably hold equities and bonds rather than cash, so they're not much affected either.

The people who are hurt are people with large cash hoards, in excess of any debt they may hold. Which I think is not a particularly significant proportion of the population.
> Also, recall "Americans army" was being ostensibly used as a recruiting/psyche-molding tool...

IIRC, "America's Army" was initially created as an internal training tool for the Army. Then the Army decided to have the creator adjust it a bit and publish it as a video game, sort of as a recruiting tool.

As far as adjustments, apparently the video game audience doesn't really like waiting 2 minutes for a smoke grenade to actually produce a huge cloud of smoke.

Fast prototyping is the answer. If you or some others are skilled in C/C++, you don't need JS.

For others, having a simple way to prototype fast on the target hardware is a big benefit.

My wife is a user of this app (she has used to to help her sisters look for husbands) and so far I think it's a good product. You were wise to include the wali/chaperone option because that is clearly a key feature for many sisters.

She always mentions how she's puzzled over the "Always pray / sometimes pray / never pray" options under religious practice. Can you explain your thought process in coming up with those options?

I want to say that I can see why your app would be a tremendous challenge from a product development standpoint. What you have as a user base in America are basically a mix of many different immigrant cultures that each have their own idea of Islamic traditional marriage customs - Somalian vs. Arab vs. Indopak vs. West African vs. Cham vs. vs. vs..., as well as clashes between youth & elder viewpoints, as well as a large indigenous (I use the term loosely - we're all immigrants to an extent) American Muslim population as well (something that foreigners usually are shocked to hear - Americans becoming Muslim?! What!!). Do your research well & don't give up

I ask Allah to guide you to a product that is beneficial for the Muslims - and also materially successful!

Edit: Also, my email address was used at one point as the "wali" contact but I stopped getting digest emails from the conversations inexplicably. You may need tighter QA around that pipeline
For me it was the other way around. I was aware of the references, so I just nodded and moved on, not realizing how incendiary some of these things sound when you don't have the context.

For example, "neuroticism" being just a technical term for a normally varying personality trait, not "mental illness".
Borrowing techniques from the gambling industry, Facebook, Google and others exploit human nature, creating addictive behaviors that compel consumers to check for new messages, respond to notifications, and seek validation from technologies whose only goal is to generate profits for their owners.

I've been thinking a lot lately about much our industry seems to be trying to leverage addiction. It's certainly not just Facebook and Google -- it seems to be happening throughout consumer technology. For example, video games seem carefully optimized to turn us into Skinner mice, and most television apps have adopted the annoying "play the next episode unless the user opts out in X seconds" feature. (Even Plex, although I'm not sure what they're getting out of it.)

Ultimately, I suppose it's up to the consumer to resist the addiction while availing themselves of the value provided by these products, in much the same way that most of us can enjoy and appreciate beer, wine, and spirits without becoming alcoholics. But thinking about these things is making me reconsider what sort of projects I'd like to work on.

EDIT: Obligatory Paul Graham article on the subject: http://www.paulgraham.com/addiction.html
I read a bit about North Korea and it seems that no one wants to do something because should the regime fall, you'd have to deal with North Korea's population that is largely uneducated and believes in all Kim's propaganda.

I wonder if Kim will be able to obtain what he wants (money ?) by threatening other countries.

Still, I hope I'm wrong and that China, South Korea and the US will cooperate to put an end to Kim's regime.
How does that work 20GB of ram? One of the slots isn't full? It's not multiples of 4/8 I mean 2 sure, just curious.

Edit: nvm saw below 14 + 6
I had the 2012 for a few years. When I was driving 80%+ highway, I would struggle to get below 35MPG or above 42MPG.

On a 50%-50% split, I would be in the mid 30s, usually 36MPG or 37MPG.

When I was 80% city, I would be around 32MPG on average.

That car does not have much low-end torque, so if you accelerate aggressively from stops you can definitely tank the MPG. I didn't see much impact from aggressive acceleration at highway speeds (e.g. going from 30MPH to 70MPH on an on-ramp, or pulling around a slow group of cars going from 45MPH-70+MPH). I did see a lot of impact from flooring it 0-30.

Hope this context is helpful.

Prefacing an argument with "But before you guys mistakenly think that I'm racist - remember - I have black friends" is not the most important point in an argument.

It is, arguably, the least important one. So much so, that it is a non-sequitur.

Of course it's a mock-up. Black holes have never been imaged from up-close. Maybe the background is an actual photo, but not the thing in the middle.

But it does seem to be a more or less realistic simulation of light ray distortion in the gravitational field of a black hole.
Or a bet on hybrids. Hybrids enable new types of engines that for instance operate at constant rate or that are under-powered for acceleration from a stop or going uphill.
If you offer it as a new service or option than it makes perfect sense to charge them again.

> What if he values his property at more than $2 million?

Then surely he'd've said so - he could've said "no, 3 million". Instead he says his price is 2 million, then decides he wouldn't sell even for that. There's something else going on there.
If the audience were intellectually honest this would not be an issue: this is done with religious and moral topics all the time.
I think the unreasonableness of the North Korean regime has been blown far out of proportions by Western governments and their media.
