Read the book "Who to win friends and influence people". This is not only a sales bible but a book that shows how to actually connect with people. Kind of lengthy read but I can really recommend it.
I'm pretty excited about this... at work, we are using machine learning to train models that allow us to automate the process of grading student essays. The product is called LightSide. I hope to apply my learning from the class to improving our models and our scoring accuracy. Woowhoo, thanks Dr. Ng!
Ask HN: Arrangements for working for US company from EU
I am a EU national, currently living and working in the US, but looking to move back to Europe.

One possibility is talking my currently employer into letting me work remotely. I am wondering if other people that are currently working for US companies remotely from the EU have any insights into what kind of legal and fiscal arrangements are necessary for something like this.

If I want to spare my employer the hassle, is it possible to be treated as a freelancer even though I would have a single employer? How much would that cost me if so?
Any idea of how onerous would it be for the employer to comply with EU labor regulations?

We just wrapped up another round of the "women in technology" discussions, where one of the primary arguments was, "they would prefer not to work here."
The original poster already said "I normally default to locate or find now...", so presumably he's well aware of find.

Also, (imho) the problem is not some people making more money than others. The problem is that the grim reaper of capitalism is still hard at work for regular working people, but has been quite absent at crucial points in time when it comes to certain big capitalists.

Wrestling mom & pop into submission and taking over their land is less hard if you don't really have to worry about mundane things like being profitable, paying taxes, complex legislation, risk consciousness in investors, personal liability, mark to market accounting or making sure your constructions are capable of surviving some slight financial turbulence.
Sure, your uber ride is $7 dollars but the person driving that is getting screwed.
With a lot of agile stuff I feel like you tend to end up with a result like a PT cruiser car. Some years ago I rented one and they had done everything right: Interesting design, cool features on the inside, analog clock on the dashboard and everything else. They had checked off all user stories of the car.

But the end result was a crappy car. A lot of features were implemented in a subpar way. Nothing really fit and the car just didn't "feel" right.

With strict agile structures I feel the same happening. You check off stuff and on the surface you are doing everything right in a methodical way. But there is no mechanism to check if the overall result feels right and has cohesion.
>I would say we live in dangerous times.

Considering we have a Republican president who has two confirmed white nationalists in his cabinet, repeatedly issues calls to violence and wants to clamp down on journalists, defunds efforts to investigate Nazis infiltrating law enforcement, yea I'd say we live in pretty dangerous times.

but sure it's the left who are so dangerous because they doxxx people who wave swatiskas
That's a rare sort of intrinsic motivation, though, and tends not to last long in the face of frequent contact with users who, having their own situations to deal with, reasonably tend more often to complain about software that fails to make their lives easier than compliment that which does. That's where extrinsic motivation needs to come into play, but it's not much on offer in the context we're considering.
Great suggestion! Here a more about this great book by Dale Carnegie https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/How_to_Win_Friends_and_Influ...
My wife's uncle is a trained engineer, worked in a high-level mergers and acquisitions division of a well-known company, and is an aerobatics pilot. He says that the reason flying is so safe compared with any other form of transport is because of the ubiquitous and relentless use of check-lists, and the deep investigation of every incident. After each incident the check-lists are re-visited to see if the causes could be prevented. The investigations are carried out by independent bodies with their only aim being to find the truth.

When I wondered out loud once why such an approach isn't taken for other services and industries, a friend of mine - born forty with cynicism to spare - said "Rich people fly."

Perhaps the same approach to incidents in the maritime environment, and incidents involving the police, isn't taken because somehow the people most affected are seen as somehow not really worth the time and effort. It's not the rich people, the people in power, who are affected.

I really hope that's not true, because if it is, nothing will change.
Sapolsky writes about a certain amount of stress being good for you. IIRC he cites a study about people in retirement homes do better if they are made to do chores.
I dislike this list. It's too much, and does not discern between effectiveness. It's like they are equally weighted tasks. This is absolutely not the case.

Half of this is common sense, 'make an about page, make a contact page', that is basic...

Then there's a ton of stuff here that is hypothetically cool to do but practically speaking will not be productive.

As a marketer I can tell you that there is some pareto optimization that can be done here. It's likely, I think, if you did this whole checklist that you'd find 20% of your efforts ended up bringing in 80% of your conversions. The trick is finding what that chunk of extremely lucrative marketing activities are for your product/industry.
It's in part because that is what Google has done in the past. They give you unlimited space to store your photos, your email, and your data, why wouldn't you expect to be able to store video.

Video has become politicised because it is a popular medium for political topics and one which can be rapidly produced and consumed. Advertisers are perhaps influencing Google's decisions on this, but they are equally political. The debacle with the diversity memo is one example of biases inside of the company. There have been many more examples over the last years, one such example is censorship across the board of conservative commentators.

It goes on in Facebook, Twitter and so on. So we have to wait for competitors to turn up, how many years will that take? Is that a responsible route considering the foothold these companies have?
Here’s What Microsoft Is Saying Internally About Surface Quality and Reliability
You want people to exercise discipline, read something and try to understand the author's viewpoint, and think about their response instead of some random knee-jerk reaction that sounds like some sound bite of their favorite pundit or politician?

Yeah. I'd like that, too.

Sadly people are too stupid to do that. "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."
Where can I find the training data/sample code for training a similar rock-paper-scissors network myself?
I don't think I've ever heard anyone compliment anything about the PT Cruiser before. From what I've read, they did everything wrong (assuming you want a car that drives well and lasts a long time, and doesn't look hideous).

A 8080 has a linear 64K address space, like the 8085 and the Z80. Perhaps you were thinking of 8086?

In any case, 64K address space is not the real limiter with a 6502 --- it's other things, like the tiny number of registers, relative shortage of 16-bit addressing modes, and fixed(!) 256-byte stack which make it difficult to program in C. Even the 6800, with its 16-bit index and stack pointer registers, would be easier.

There were not only "rumors" but biased description of the situation, incorrect representation of Damore's words, plain lies about the memo contents and blame of Google diversity policies. You'll find it all in the Motherboard's report that has revealed the story to the general public.
Hehe, KLF is gonna rock ya! They are supposed to respawn this August, so I am curious what would happen (after a 23-year hiatus). I am pretty sure Scooter will ape them again though...

Anyway, over here in Ingolstadt the original Illuminati were nothing like what Deus Ex depicts; it was mainly a club of nerds competing with another club of nerds called freemasons; the latter group making fun of the former that their "secrets" suck and only the first few levels had some "secrets", the rest had none. Simply a silly game that people took way too seriously out of boredom. They then practiced the art of spying on each other and as the mutual mistrust developed, they later disappeared.
I think they had checklist like this: Retro design, quirky, different. I actually like the concept. But the implementation is just terrible.
I had been doing an elimination diet for a long time to figure out a lot of sensitivities. Potato may have been the most difficult for me to figure out as potato itself wouldn't bother me, but it would inflame my whole GI tract and was accumulative - so when I ate other food, no matter the food, it would irritate me.

It was an audiologist who first told me to stop eating wheat, which helped with a lot of things - prior that I didn't even realize I was allergic to egg whites because the wheat numbed me so much (there's an opiate in it that greatly affects some people).

The food sensitivity blood work I only did less than 2 years ago was quite revealing as well. Some foods that showed up I knew were an issue, other ones I didn't realize. When I cut them all out I felt much better. Now when I eat a small amount of any of those foods I can notice how it makes me feel bad quite easily; I was conditioned to feeling a certain way (now that I would describe as shitty) and reducing that agitation load long enough has let me feel the difference between a healthy baseline and a more agitated one. I would highly recommend you go to a naturopath who can send the test in for you. They just prick your finger and fill 5 little circles on a business card-sized card with your blood.

Re: Tinnitus - Auditory Integration Training (http://www.aitinstitute.org) can help with that as well as many other things. How AIT helps is with a similar system not well-understood or acknowledged like with what you posted about the complex relationship between deep hidden emotions (emotional wounds) and other symptoms or labels such as CFS.

I wrote a reply where I suggested people look into Auditory Integration Training for either themselves or their children who they said had certain autistic characteristics. Here's the thread for that: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13657725 - and in particular someone asked to hear about my own experience with it, to which I replied here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13657973
It is intentionally too much. My goal with the list was to make something exhaustive. The hard part - the reason companies have whole marketing departments - is to prioritize and execute on it.

There's definitely some common sense stuff here, but for devs who are marketing their first side project, it might be helpful to have more rather than less.

Finally, I welcome PR's on the project! It's open source and I'm looking for collaborators to help improve it. I'm a dev, not a marketer, so I'd love an industry pro to improve it.
They did contribute to Macports which does the same.

Please be cautious about recommending KDE's Dolphin.

So the argument here is what? That increasing the proportion of women in specific technical fields will have some beneficial effect on the ability of men to become emotionally intimate in their friendships with one another? That doesn't seem to me to follow, but I suspect I must be misgathering your point here in any case, not least because you've approached it in the vaguest of terms. Will you make plain what you're trying to say, so that it's possible to sustain a discussion around it instead of ending up talking past one another as I feel we're at risk of doing right now?
Sure you can -- install an adblocker or one of the other extensions that allows you to block FB tracking. I agree that that only protects those tech-savvy enough to know how FB is tracking you and what to do about it, but there are steps we can take while fighting against corporate mass surveillance.
A statistics tool for dummies that always responds live to any input/change and holds your hand to avoid pitfalls and suggest what's possible. Beyond other things it should enable this:

- choose what you roughly want to display (e.g. values over time)

- throw some data at it

- it auto-detects file format, dates, values, table headers

- it shows a live parsing preview, maybe even a rough plot

- you can tweak the selection, but more interactively than with regex and with a live preview by highlighting within a few example rows of your data

- plot some nice, live tweakable graphs, starting from presets

- guide through some basic transformations to do (like filtering)

- enable to update the source data

- export images or html

- for more exessive logs I'd whish to have quick filtering. If I log and tag every click of a user on my website I might for example want to select behaviours within the first week of registering (account created at XY, active within XY etc, clicks on the settings menu, sort by most clicked and display "button label")
I was wondering if I was the only person who thought the trailer was terrible. I only watched it because the reviews were so hyperbolic. This article is right: the source material is supremely mediocre.
I think this is where most organized agile implements tend to fail. There's a lot of jumping straight to the user stories and sprints and all that, and skipping over some of the more basic agile ideas, first. One of them is that any artifacts that aren't executable code and test cases is likely to be dead weight that is expensive but delivers almost no business value.

A good agile book will (IMO) even go so far as to straight out say that if you're in a situation where you can't avoid having that level of documentation and paperwork, whether it be due to contractual obligations or organizational culture, then most agile methodologies are probably going to intensify your overhead problems rather than reduce them.

"... chest, sinuses and digestive system ..."

This makes me feel like food sensitivities bloodwork may be a really good thing for you to explore and see the results of, and perhaps learning about how foods can impact you, e.g. soy, bananas, and dairy are the 3 highest mucous producing foods you can eat - will cause your chest, sinuses, ears, etc. to generate a lot of mucous which causes its own problems.
I keep hearing about these high transaction fees but I've never seen them. When I send the equivalent of tens/hundreds of thousands of USD I pay a few cents of a dollar. It does take a few hours, sure. But what would it take in a fiat currency: walk to the bank, explain why you are sending so much money, set-up the order, wait a few days. No doubt with fees in the hundreds of dollars.

So as far as I can tell fees are still ridiculously small. Large transactions are usually not that urgent.

On the other hand, government employment can be very attractive for two reasons.

1. Subject area. If you want to work on pure science or on making the world a better place, then a career in a government research lab would be far more compatible with your dreams than work in the private sector would be.

2. Secure employment + good medical benefits. If you are supporting a family and have limited savings, then a lower-paying government job that won't terminate you unless you personally do something egregious becomes more attractive than a higher-paying private sector job that might terminate you tomorrow for reasons outside your knowledge or control. Doubly so if you know you (or your dependent) have an expensive medical issue that might affect you in a few years - knowledge that you will have a paycheck and you will have medical coverage can feel far more secure than hoping that you won't be between private sector jobs and Congress won't gut Obamacare.
The article's sources are a link to a "study", which is actually a link to a German documentary from 2006, and a couple interviews by the author. It seems like somebody went digging for a titillating story for the weekend edition that would appeal to the reader base.

There are also a lot of information get by various type of spectrometers in satellites. For example, you can read: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lunar_Prospector#Scientific_ex...

> The Lunar Prospector GRS produced the first global measurements of gamma-ray spectra from the lunar surface, from which are derived the first "direct" measurements of the chemical composition for the entire lunar surface. This data effectively maps the distribution of various important elements across the Moon. For example, the Lunar Prospector GRS has identified several regions with high iron concentrations.

Ask HN: How do you deal with piracy?
Hi, I'm selling a software and cracks are given in forums on the internet. The thing is, theses users don't come to my product page for getting updates for example, so I think it's a loss for me because I can't reach them and talk to them. I feel like I won't ever be able to convert them to paying customers.

I'm wondering what I can do about it. Could I add a "I cracked your software, is it wrong ?" in the FAQ and try to not show it if I detect the software is not cracked ?

What if I distribute the pirated version myself ? Wouldn't that look weird to paying customers ?

Should I add an infinitely renewable 15 days trial instead of a limited features trial ?

Do you know of projects that went open source / free software and how they handled it ?

Thanks !

PS : I didn't say Piracy was bad in itself. I spent my childhood pirating stuff and now my livelihood is selling software.. I have faith that some of my pirate users can become my clients one day or another and I would like to take care of this issue myself rather than letting people going to underground forums and download virus.
Yes, what is the problems with Windows PC?
Yeah, C generally assumes a 'linear' memory space, so memory banks don't really fit into it extremely well.

That said, with a little work you could likely coax the linker into doing a lot of the work for you. You would have to be a little careful though, as code in different banks could not effectively call each-other directly, even though the compiler would likely not yell at you. But you could just organize your code so that the code for each bank is in it's own section, and then tell the linker to link each of those sections at the address that it will be switched in at (Likely the same address for most of them). It might just barf at you, but a linker specifically for systems that do memory banking should have a way to express this.
To add to that,
I couldn't make it work following these steps, but logging out and following the steps above worked for me. Thanks.
You're still not actually addressing the substance of the article itself.

First, based on a cursory search, the documentary was inspired by an actual study in the 1980s, so you're basic claim seems to be flawed. I can try to find the study itself if that's helpful, though the I'm not sure how easy that'll be.

It's more complex than that. Both Bitcoin Core and Bitcoin cash teams want to scale things up, Bitcoin cash is doing it one way and Core another way (look for "Lightning Network"). Nobody in both camps want Bitcoin to remain a store of value, we all want it to replace fiat.
