Debit cards are widely used in Europe (maybe not in Germany), but people, when they want credit just goes to the bank and take a loan or something like that.

Imagine your job is to implement a new software-based process. Something goes wrong. The server is down. Who do you call?

This is why open source is treated like a leper: there is no one to call or the support is so disparate that it's hopeless.

Solve the problems that lead them to making those decisions.

Such a narrow view. There are all types of men working in IT. Only a small percentage of us went to MIT!
The push notification need not contain the message, no, but it’s often more efficient that way.
Right, first I need to state that I would increase the income tax; anyone making about $100k would essentially pay extra as much as they received from UBI, and people making more would end up paying more than they'd get from UBI.

So the tax on dividends would just serve to cover the gap, not the full amount.
just consider the name/handle 'crypto' that should tell you were its heading 5 milliamps of hexadecimal bullshit that is wrapped in numerical magic called algorithms try exchanging it for real food/water or anything among 6 billion humans who have no idea what you are talking about so as long as you live in your internet substitue vacuum reality enjoy your dellusions but don't ask for help/food/water etc when the power goes out! dumb people do dumb things believing in their own ignorance ..
It is extremely unlikely that superluminal travel exists. It would fundamentally violate so many physical laws (including causality) that our prior for that should be low indeed.
Not to mention the trains are incredibly smooth. Took the train from Trondheim to Bodø, woke up a few hours in and didn’t know we were moving until I took a snapchat of my face in the dark train and saw a speed of over 200km/h.

EURGBP: Retains Broader Uptrend but with Caution
Chris Marker is a french cinematographer. His works is unregular but this documentary (Letter from Siberia) is great. (Also, he is the author of the photo movie La Jetée, here in english https://vimeo.com/46620661, which inspired the movie 12 Monkeys !). He has communist leaning from what I remember but it doesn't feel like he's using cinema to convince you about his political beliefs, and he doesn't defends USSR, although he is culturally very interested in this country.

This excerpt is about media manipulation if you didn't understand it, it shows how it feels to change the voice over and keep the same images.

Why do you think it's BS, out of interest?

Sorry I wasn't talking about this documentary, it's not that bad, what he says in it is pretty obvious.
I've been trying to use DDG for the last 6 months. Ultimately I'd say 40% of my queries I now just force google with '!g' instead. I was quite bullish on it 6 months ago, but must admit that after 6 months, anything complex I !g straightaway.

Note that enterprises, and expert users, can still provision a custom push profile that routes these notifications through their own hosted push server rather than through Apple’s. This is not useful for App Store users, but App Store users are also not likely to know or care about this change.
My PCs wake up and perform the updates. Maybe that's the problem with laptops when they're not plugged in or something but I have not experienced it.
The spectral signature would be quite different.
There is a specific checklist for dead. U dont see that ?
I think journalists are snakes in general, but I don't see PG's argument that his statement is not sexist. His expanded argument seems to be:

1. A hacker ethos from a decade of programming is required to start a company like Facebook.

2. There are few women who have the hacker ethos already

3. YC can objectively determine who has a hacker ethos

4. YC cannot teach the hacker ethos in 3 months

5. This is the main reason YC does not accept many women

I think that there are a number of problems with this series of arguments, some of which are rooted in systemic sexism:

1. There are many great companies started by non-programmers. What PG calls a "hacker ethos" and his decision that it is necessary are both based on observing the output of a biased system that favors white males.

2. This doesn't seem to line up to me. >20% of CS grads are female yet <10% of YC founders are female (lower rate in early classes).

3. We know this is not true, as we all have cognitive biases. Some adjustment for this bias should be implemented if we want to have a fair system.

4. Maybe. But why not even try?

5. See #2. Maybe there is another reason, but this doesn't explain the very small number of female founders on its own.
Not really? Only in very rare exceptions. At least if you're talking about chain reaction fission.
The article "A Study Plan to Cure Javascript Fatigue" ( https://medium.freecodecamp.com/a-study-plan-to-cure-javascr... ) is a great place to start. It gives an excellent series of steps for tackling modern Javascript concepts one piece at a time: Javascript, React, ES6, and state management. There's also a "Front-End Study Guide" based on that article that's very good, at https://github.com/grab/front-end-guide .
If you were to spend a year or so going through many of the resources presented here, and probably knew your stuff pretty well (or at least as well as you could after a year), would anyone actually give you a job?

Not a great food for men, though.
Now imagine that the company you bought the software from no longer exists. You're correct about one of the issues with FLOSS adoption, but you're framing it wrong: any software can have support issues. The biggest advantage of FLOSS that the government has written and shared is that they can get competitive bids for maintenance contracts, rather than being stuck with one vendor.
I did the "early years" of both statistics and tiny neural networks/perceptrons in college a long time ago. It also helps that I use math at work (anything from simulated 3D physics to DSP.)

Since then, I've used Wikipedia and Mathworld when work had needed it. Regression, random forest, simulated annealing, clustering, boosting and gradient ascent are all on the statistics/ML spectrum.

But the best resource was running NVIDIA DIGITS, training some of the stock models, and really looking deeply at the visualizations available. You could do this on your own computer, or these days, rent some spot GPU instance on ECC for cheap.

I highly recommend going through the DIGITS tutorials if you want a crash course in deep learning, and make sure to visualize all the steps! Try a few different network topologies and different depths to get a feel for how it works.
I've got a few I look forward to every single week (or so). I listen for pleasure and to get my mind off work. With that said, here are my favorite weekly podcasts (I've included descriptions from their website or my own if none was provided):

[0a] Giant Bombcast and [0b] Giant Beastcast (Note I'm a premium member)

The Giant Bomb staff discuss the latest video game news and new releases, taste-test questionable beverages, and get wildly off-topic in this weekly podcast.

[1] Thirty, Twenty, Ten

A pop culture time machine that examines TV, movies, music and video games from the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

[2] Retronauts

The original classic gaming podcasts continues its endless quest to explore the history of video games, one game at a time.

[3] The Talking Simpson's (Note I still love The Simpson's)

Join your friends at the Laser Time Podcast Network for a chronological and cromulent exploration of the greatest show ever made!

[4] Game Informer

No description available: Weekly podcast about video games. Professionally produced and in depth and I highly recommend listening to the episodes where they discuss the origination and founding of Funcoland/Gamestop/Game Informer and the current episode about Game Freak the developers and creators of Pokémon.)

Honorable mentions:

[5] 8-4 Play

Bi-weekly podcast about Japan video games, culture, and everything Japan that's making the news. They also run a video game translation business and have ported many popular games.

[6] Laser Time

Laser Time is a show featuring folks in the video games industry, although not necessarily about video games.

[7] Game Dev Club

The Dev Game Club looks at older games and plays through them in a form similar to a book club!

[8] Player One

Join ex-game journalists Chris Johnston (ex-EGM), Phil Theobald (ex-GameNow), Greg Sewart (ex-EGM) and their buddy Mike Phillips as they talk about console/portable/PC games, babies, and the meaning of life.

[9a] Radio Free Nintendo and [9b] Famicast

No Description Available: Podcast about all things Nintendo, old and new. It's very well done and balanced. The Famicast comes out less often and is mostly Japanese focused.

[10] Genesis Gems (I was a Nintendo kid.)

Genesis Gems is a retro gaming podcast focused on the Sega Genesis console. Family friendly, fun, and goofy!

I have others, but these are the podcasts I look forward too every time they pop up in my feed. If you can't tell, I like pop culture, video games, and listen for fun and to escape. That work life balance thing.

Edit: Formatting.
22 feet is within the limit of controlled emergency swimming ascent, and this somewhat possible to reach the surface with a single breath even if Madsen escaped from the sub when it was at the bottom.
If only the EFF had bothered to take up such Principled Stances against the prior Administration, which put all this infrastructure in place.
Is there an advantage to storing this as an array, indexed by enum, rather than a strict of 16 floats?

I can't think of a reason. Having to index by enum seems like it could be error prone.

Also, in the init(), instead of looping over all indexes of the array and setting 0, couldn't a memset be used?
The article seems to be poorly written. It just appears to say diet sodas do not trigger normal caloric intake responses in the brain but really why would they? The drinks themselves have 0 calories, there is nothing to metabolize.
Greg Egan is the only sci-fi author in my adult life who makes me think "I like this, but I'm not smart enough to really understand it." Feel free to take that as a recommendation either for or against. :)

> What other skills can you develop via the internet that make you appealing to employers in big cities?

Sales, digital marketing, community management, UX, and data science are some examples. Known "influencers" in online forums, for example, often get hired for digital marketing, because they have real-world on-the-ground experience that big corporations that lack (for an infamous example, see Saydrah on Reddit). If you can get a video to go viral on YouTube, you're often qualified for many marketing jobs; I had an English-major friend get a job at a startup (albeit a terrible one) for a rant he made on YouTube that went viral. Independent researchers who can come up with an interesting & rigorous blog post based on publicly-available data often get data science job offers. Redesign a major product and convince a significant number of people that your version is better (this is non-trivial) and oftentimes you'll get a job as a UX designer or PM for that product.
Nobody is "given" a job; you "earn" a job by convincing the hiring manager that you can do what they need done.

If you're any good, and have good results to show and talk about, yes, you could totally be employed.

If you show that you're extra willing to do all the heavy data preparation and labeling work yourself as well as the infrastructure that runs the models, you'll have an even easier time. Most people just want to play with models, and believe data preparation is "beneath" them, but that's actually where the meat is and where the success of the model is made or destroyed.
Nah. Depends if you're going slightly "north-east" or slightly "north-west". Also probably depends on your locale.
Especially with the lightspeed downward trend in androgens and fertility over the last few decades.
Many stories have been posted here over the years of people whose Google accounts got disabled for some unknown reason, with no way of contacting someone at Google to get the issue resolved. A quick web search turned up this example:

My inner Asian is screaming.
I've had the opposite experience. I've been using it for many months and I only !g code searches or searches where DDG's results were disappointing, most of which end up disappointing on Google as well.
I do see your point as well. It's a very tough balance to sort out. But I don't think it's clear cut since some speech essentially _is_ a harmful action. For instance, consider a potential law that would actively discriminate against a group (think segregation, bathroom bill, whatever). Advocating for the passage of the law essentially is "just speech" but it then leads to the passage of the law. Once the law is passed the harmful action takes place, but it's too late to counter it.

So I don't think it's quite as simple as protecting people's feelings over all else. Frankly, I even have mixed feelings and unease about the fact that I think limiting speech is warranted sometimes. But there it is.
It mentions that they also had thousands of stolen pictures, and used stolen pictures for doctoring the library books.

The article concentrates almost exclusively on the library prank/crime. I'd like to know more about those photos, such as where they were stealing them from.
I know that current news articles are not always discussed on HN. But at what point do we call out this alt-right/nazi terrorism? Is it still free speech?

And more importantly for our community, how do we stop young techies from falling into the propaganda of alt-right which is also anti-women (eg. females cannot succeed in programming)?

Here is something for people to read who do not believe that alt-right/nazi is anti-women as well https://fivethirtyeight.com/features/dissecting-trumps-most-...
For sending large files over the internet P2P, I've found things like instant.io and file.pizza to be immensely useful
One thing people are oblivious about is they say "Facebook is awful, I only use Instagram and WhatsApp" and forget that the whole network is insanely large and growing. People lose sight that FB and Google account for 99%+ of all online advertising in the US. Social has become such an echo chamber and so manipulative.
Whether it harbors intelligent life, however, is still up for debate.
Not sure how far along this project is, but MicroG intends to replace Google Play Services as their core invasion of privacy on Android devices.

Accidental Tech Podcast - A tech podcast with a strong focus on Apple. Commentary by Siracusa makes this one worth it.

Film Sack - Film reviews of bad, strange or unique movies. They only do movies that are currently available via streaming sites and encourage their listeners to watch the movie before the episode.

Judge John Hodgeman - Two people, usually a couple, call in to the show with a disagreement. John Hodgeman will listen to both sides and cast his judgement. Both sides agree to abide by whatever he says.
I've really enjoyed 'Waking Up' with Sam Harris lately. Some fascinating and eclectic conversations.
stay away from 'Cryptos' until after the 4th Turning has commenced by then you won't need it anyway as societies & generations fluctuate forwards/backwards or up and down depending on your perspective. No matter where humans have congregated there is no evidence that they ever sustain any exponential direction as a continuous process. As Professor E.O Wilson has clearly indicated it is unlikely that humans will survive their own phases of infrequent enlightenment and decline into apocryphal ignorance whilst the cosmos continues.
(25%) Let’s dispel with this fiction that potatoes don't know what they're doing, They know exactly what they're doing. They're trying to change this country.
I mean I work at Google now, but when I was applying to move out west, my experience almost exactly mirrored GP's. Only Amazon responded to my resume. There is an awful lot of luck involved at landing a high paying job still.
What makes you think they didn't? They were critical of the Obama administration too. Example: https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2017/01/obama-expands-surveill...
I think men in societies where they have eaten tofu for centuries like China, Indonesia and Japan are doing just fine.
FEI Endurance horse run to 100 kms in over 15 hours. Ultra-marathons of 100 miles are won in just over 14hrs. In UAE, in Slovakia, in Wales. In all conditions, man beats horse over distance.
The 1% for the most part aren't billionaires. Last year in the US, the threshold was just under $285,000. Ignoring professionals, plenty of small business owners can hit that on a lucky year. (And get hammered other years). There are a lot of jobs in the US with companies with fewer than 50 people.

Confiscating the assets of the 1% to create economic prosperity has been tried a few times before, and usually turns out horribly in ten years. You've removed the people who risk their own money from society, and replaced it with only assest allocation by bureaucrats.

Plus, as soon as you removed the one percent, then you have a new one percent.

See Dekulakization https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dekulakization
There are 2 uses for that language.

1. It's to add insult to injury while attempting to soften the blow

2. It's an attempt to deny that they have power to do what they did.

For the insult to injury: This is a technique that is under the "thinking past the sale". (http://blog.dilbert.com/post/129433801521/thinking-past-the-...) The context prior to the understanding part basically has put you in: "I've done something bad and now I'm being punished." The last phrase "We appreciate your understanding." has later put you in the position of understandnig that: They (plural people) would like for me to understand their decision.

In short this you're no longer put in a position where you can really fight back directly with the issue at hand. You're reminded that you are fighting against an organization if you disagree. It's predatory and manipulative.

The second part: It's a manipulative attempt to prevent you from attributing ill will against the offending party. They're attempting to "soften the blow" because they appear to be reaching out.

On both of these possibilities, the biggest issue with this is it's incredibly manipulative and it's much more insulting when you notice it. The organizations and people who use those statements should be doomed to be constantly rejected in everything they do and want in his passive aggressive stance for the rest of their life. It's an incredibly anti-social behavior.

Unfortunately, we don't have social punishments for shitty behaviors like this.

Last to note: This is the equivalent of the "apology" "I'm sorry that you feel that way" or "I'm sorry this didn't turn out the way you had hoped."
The current US president is the oldest US president to date, and it was even a thing that came up in the campaign (for multiple candidates, by the way).
