I know this probably isn't what you meant, but it's actually often the case that doing useful things helps people get over the other things you did, see Francis Drake, any number of founders of post-colonial and early 20th century countries, conquistadors/founding fathers/revolutionaries, etc.

In short, justice is what most other influential people deem just, not some universal measure of conduct.

Those responsible for the firebombing of Dresden never stood trial, because the victims belonged to the losing side. The "scientists" of Unit 731 never stood trial.[1] Only 13 out of 24 directors of IG Farben were found guilty and all were released early.[2]

The church effectively killed hundreds of thousands (very conservative guess) by telling people not to use condoms. No one was tried.

Benchmark's interest lies in protecting the value of their investment and liquidating it as soon as possible.

This can be very different from employees' interest in the case where Benchmark seeks to sell their stake via a private transaction (e.g. to Softbank).

I'd also add that Benchmark couldn't care less if the company 'grows'. They've already made enough money to return their fund many times over. Their strategy now is mainly to mitigate risk to the paper value of their holdings.
Is there an actual use for this? seems like its another useless service from the aws team instead on focusing on improving their interfaces, api's and pricing options.
Once I stopped drinking coffee for a couple of days before an Ayahuasca session. The headaches were terrible.

I rarely drink anything other than a doppio in the morning, but I simply can't start my day without it.
was wondering the same. the explanation i can think of is that people are flagging this and the algo lowers flagged posts?

its better than the alternative of @dang and friends manually moving this item down/off the front page.
thats what i was thinking. Everyone should be made to sound like darth vader and now we've an interview process to die for :P
Actually they are ISPs, Net Neutrality goes way beyond if your ISP can throttle traffic based on content, that is the least important argument.

It's about the not having any discrimination based on the nature of content across the internet period.
And no it's not a slippery slope, freedom of speech is paramount, all speech should be free period, regardless of what stupidity comes out of someone's mouth.

You can be a holocaust denier racist spewing racist slur at orphans and as european jew whose parents were born in 1942 and then had to live behind the iron curtain will fight your right to say anything you want even if you would say that to me i might punch you in the face afterwards.

Or they're a big enough seller that their (basically) monopoly position allows them to generally ignore bad feedback.
Actually things are not as bad as they used to be. Since 3.4 you can alter the way multiprocessing starts processes:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/multiprocessing.html#conte...

The ``forkserver`` method eliminates most of the problems you mention: child processes are only started once, and they fork() from a totally separate process so they don't inherit all of the resources of the main process (in particular, they don't copy the whole heap). I've found this eliminates 90% of the performance-related issues I used to experience with multiprocessing.
OP:"Google is orders of magnitude better than their competition in search."

Sure, so long as we agree the search results are relevant.
64-bit Firefox is the new default on 64-bit Windows
U.S. judge says LinkedIn cannot block startup from public profile data
The two aren't mutually exclusive. With laws as vague and broad as they are it's easy to conceive of a situation wherein charges are brought "after the fact" - as in, not because whatever occurred was significant enough to merit prosecution, but rather because the person was significant enough to merit prosecution.

In all cases (without exception) where that's the case, the result is legal, yet not something that can properly be called justice. The current circumstances sure look like this, but it is - of course - still a little to early to tell.

So did marcus plan and execute a serious crime, or did a series of events occur that happened to include hacking tools and sales to individuals that can be presented as criminal, such that a little creative cherry-picking can weave a nefarious tale?
I think this is an excellent idea. There definitely is a gap in the market for non-CS grads who want to get a more robust grounding than a ten-week bootcamp can offer.

I'm interested in how you select applicants but your website doesn't let me look at the application process. Your funding model means selecting the right students is crucial as you carry the risk. How do you select from the candidates? Are they meant to be already quite experienced? I looked through the curriculum and it seems very intense even for someone with a bit of coding experience. How do you make sure people keep up the pace?

Having just traveled through the Glasgow, Edinburgh, and London, I can say with confidence that I would have appreciated lane guidance greatly for the 7 million roundabouts I went through.

I didn't know google maps did this or I would have used it. I was using Waze instead, as it's my default.
Does anyone else also think the bundles are mostly a bad deal for the customers, and maybe only a good one for AMD?

First of all the monitor. Chances that I need one are fairly small. And if yes, why would I want exactly that one? I personally think the resolution (and especially pixel density) is below what I would want now, especially with so much GPU power available. A 4k screen with Freesync would be more attractive.

Then the CPU/board. Chances are a little higher that one could use that, but I guess even less than 40% of buyers would require a CPU and board. If we restrict it to Ryzen 1700 options the number would be even less, since a 1600X might be the more interesting option for many gamers. And of course some may also prefer Intel. If we treat the CPU/board part as the main benefit of the bundle it's also still mostly a zero-sum game, you pay 100$ extra to get a 100$ discount. I could most likely get a better overall deal when I buy both GPU and CPU seperatly in shops where each has the best price.

When we finally factor the games in it might be a small benefit for a small number of buyers. However their value is really small, since Prey is already some days old and one can get it discounted.

If the demand for the bundles is as low as I think and AMD really wants to sell most of the cards in bundled form (predicted by anandtech), then the overall prices will mostly trend towards the bundle prices for all cards due to availability.
This actually blows my mind. I know that probabilistic languages exist, but something very interesting could be done here.
Microsoft had to fix the C# compiler. The result was Roslyn. It's actually amazing that Roslyn was a successful project. Probably most software projects that ambitious fail. The project would have failed if they tried to make it F# compliant at the same time.

Speaking as someone who makes his living writing F# code, I'm as frustrated as anyone about this, but there will be a successful resolution. I just don't know how soon. Before today's announcements my personal thinking was that it would be this autumn. That's still possible. In the meantime I can still function in the F# world, as before. It just remains frustrating to branch out into some of the areas I would like to.
Exchanging caffeine for amphetamines that develop real physical dependence doesn't feel like a good course of action.
You don't actually drink your decoy drink. You just hold it and maybe sip a tiny bit to make it look like you're drinking so people leave you alone.
This level of understanding is a rare find, thank you for looking deeper into the situation and choosing a very daoist choice, a Middleroad
Say you sell wizards from the university of manchester. Say I want a wizard from the university of manchester.

If you and I sign a document that says umanwizard sells me a umanchesterwizard with all the little deets like price and timing of delivery and such, then we've reached an agreement.

If you and I sign a document that says we will put together a purchase in the future, however, we explicitly are acknowledging that we haven't signed the aforementioned document yet.

Depending on the facts and jurisdiction, some places deal with these situations differently, but in common law generally an agreement to agree is not the agreement, and is a non-binding promise. That said, this is very general and you should speak with a lawyer (because i am not yours) if you want a fast and firm answer in a specific situation.
I’m left handed but also in the possession of a regular guitar, I’ve half gotten into it a couple times and can play the basic letter chords and do some progressions etc.

Is it worth while to get a lefty guitar? Will picking ability limit me in a big way? I have noticed that being rhythmic in licking with my right hand can be tricky, but I figured it’s something I can learn through...
In business, no matter how ruthless or cold the people are, you can complain or even yell at the people - been there. I guess this is not an option in academics. Fwiw my mother died during my thesis. I didn't get a 6 week extension period - my professor said that's probably not gonna work.
I'm pretty sure that if they would say something like this they would lose the lawsuit pretty quickly. Then they'd had to pay the guy a lot of money.

I still think they are probably going to do so, but not as much?

This is a good point and one of the few convincing arguments I've heard against the GIL. Thanks for providing so much detail!

Did you consider just mounting a ramdisk and storing data as files? At first glance it seems like a decent fit for sharing read-only data in memory.
Personally I think its sufficient to have a low contrast mode on your website.

In general I think its never a bad idea to reduce strain on the eyes of a user, reducing excessive contrast is one way to do it

I'm not a professional web designer Tho.
Ha! Thanks, quite likely as i notice it overheating frequently when navigating and never connected it to waze. Will keep an eye on it and compare to Google Maps. Would be reason enough for me to switch backt ..
> If biases are really that big of an issue (are there studies that show this is true in tech?)

I don't know if there are studies, but I absolutely know toxic and unfriendly environments exist. I don't know how you'd quantify the effect; if you made up some metric where you looked at how many women COULD be in tech, there's huge lost productivity, but that's not necessarily meaningful.

Even clearing the hiring hurdle is not nearly enough. Hiring someone who your culture treats like crap is not going to help you or them. If the person is actually very competent, but consistently treated as a newbie, their work will be sub-par and they will burn out and leave.

It turns out you need managers who can actually see people, how they interact, and manage them on a personal level. Set up mentoring for those who need it, put people who like to work alone tasks that can be handled alone, people who like to be on big teams on big teams, etc.

There's no way to exhaustively list the things you could do, and that's the point - it's a big, hard job that is a job, that I think SV too often wishes didn't exist.
Great post, just to add some info:

The 'screw' that counterbalances the pulling force on the neck exerted by the strings is the "truss rod" which sits inside the neck (on an electric guitar and some acoustics); this rod is adjustable.

This adjustment influences the 'action'. But the 'action' is also set by the bridge saddles' height, which is adjustable. Most often this height is adjustable independently for each string.

Each time the action is changed (raised or lowered), intonation should be adjusted again, accordingly.

It sounds very complex but it isn't, it just takes a bit of patience and experience (for making a good judgement of what an ideal action would be).

To be honest, much more laborious and difficult is to tune a drum set so it sounds great. There are more adjustment points...
Goodhart's Law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodhart's_law
That's utterly impractical for a baseball glove that a kid will outgrow in a handful of years.

Kids' baseball gloves last as long as they need to: a few years. Because that's how long it will take for your kid to outgrow it. Investing megabucks into an heirloom-quality glove for an 8 year-old kid is insanity.

Now, maybe a baseball glove could be a treasured thing you hand down from kid to kid in the family or the neighborhood. But hand-me-down baseball gloves are a little nasty.

Your hand, which is invariably covered in lots of unsavory stuff (dirt, sweat, spit, sometimes sticky substances from the baseball bats) gets stuffed inside the glove for loooong periods of time, during which it sweats profusely. Being "gifted" with an "heirloom" baseball glove as a kid would have grossed me out. I would have enjoyed such a gift about as much as a hand-me-down jock strap.

I also hate to say this (because I like the idea of buying American) but unless you're playing a hell of a lot of baseball, $50-$100 gloves made in China also last a loooooooooooooooooooooong time if you oil them once a year or so. Unless you're playing baseball full-time, you do not need to spend hundreds of bucks to get something that will last you decades. Making a baseball glove is not rocket science. It's leather. Made into a glove.
> The "hack" is fake.

Unproven but likely. The "defaced" page was posted through their CMS (WordPress), which is rather atypical for defaced domains. The writer's promise to only take the domain down for 24 hours is also quite unusual.

What seems most likely to me is that this was used as an excuse to take down their content until their domain was transferred away from GoDaddy.

If the child program is multithreaded then it's almost certainly not pure Python in the first place. So, wrap it up in `with nogil:` Cython statements and use the threading module (or concurrent.futures.ThreadPoolExecutor).
Cities where ride sharing services like Uber was banned (e.g. Vancouver) have been getting along just fine with car sharing services like Car2Go[1], Evo[2], ZipCar[3] and Modo[4] for years. Uber hasn't really brought anything new to the table asides more competition to taxi companies though more convenient app services and VC money to drive prices lower.

Try taking some theanine with your caffeine, it will be MUCH easier to cutback.
I'm not sure if you meant to imply the contrary, but club soda isn't the same as tonic water--club soda doesn't have sugar added. So if you're yet to find a replacement for your gin and tonics, you could try out vodka sodas :)
Looking at these in isolation might give some the mistaken impression that these instances of workplace sexism and harassment are isolated incidents. When viewed as a whole, it's clearly a problem for software engineering (as people in the field have been claiming for years). In fact, I'd be willing to bet that we'll soon see comments full of anecdotes from people who have never seen sexism or this kind of harassment in their workplaces claiming that there is no problem. Or implying that this is somehow not all bad.

For sure this is an issue in many fields, but software engineering seems to be the only one in which people proudly proclaim there is no problem, despite the increasing number of reports to the contrary.
I'd just leave it up to the browser or even the monitor.
Odd how that Idea never occurred to the person to whom you are replying.

In comment after comment, the possibility that there is no bias is considered literally impossible. The blatant and unrecognized bias in this conversation is absolutely fascinating. (I also notice HN has introduced a throttle, presumably to reduce the volume of incorrect messages.)
Many times colors go with branding, in most cases it wouldn't be possible to change the color according to the user's time.

You could put a switch to enable "night mode" for your website, but if your visitor knows about this problem he'll already have either f.lux installed, or native options enabled.
That he didn't want to be king was what made him great.
What insurance were you using? I've looked into some of these cheaper insurance companies, but I worry about whether they would really stand up for me if something did go wrong. One scary story I heard from a friend of friend was related to this cut rate insurance company in NJ. They assigned 20% of the blame to the friend even though it was clear cut case where the other guy didn't yield on a left turn.
No need to quit if you don't want to. Just drink less. Mix your coffee with decaf.
Looks very similar to Holberton School - https://www.holbertonschool.com/ - launched 2 years ago, it's also 17% after students get a job. Their curriculum covers low-level programming, high-level programming and system engineering. They have a pretty good track record so far, students finding opportunities at NASA, LinkedIn, Apple, Dropbox, Docker.
So basically you hate all employers even the one that feeds you?
My wife went to Wisconsin (not exactly a tourist destination, I know), and happened to visit a dairy. As a cheese lover, I asked her to bring back some Wisconsin cheese, maybe a nice, sharp, hand-made Colby? Knowing I like to try things, in a gesture of love, she brought back a sampler pack of various sharp cheeses from the dairy's gift shop - English cheeses, made in England. I never told her, never will.
If the US sent in it's fleet when Egypt says no, that's the US declaring war through the act of invading a foreign country.

Ick, I'd forgotten how monkeypatchable the core of Python was.

If not for that, I'd focus on supporting some kind of pseudo-process where multiple instances of the Python interpreter could be loaded but they would only share pure-functional libs which, I assume, could be used in a threadsafe fashion... but then you run into the mutability of those libs. Well, the mutability of everything in python. Plus what happens if those libs expose anythign that you could hold a reference to - what happens to refcounting in a multithreaded Python?

Honestly, I feel like the world has passed Python by. At this point the cost of its performance limitations don't seem to be worth its payoff. Not that it's a bad language - I like Python. I just don't really feel the need to use it for anything anymore.
There is Universal Search algorithm. If P=NP, it finds a solution for solvable 3-SAT in polynomial time.
(still not solving 3-SAT itself in case we will not be able to determine running time, but in cryptography AFAIK we usually need solutions for known-solvable instances)
Fingerstyle is easier on a classical guitar because of the spacing between the strings. However many guitar players play the electric fingerstyle as well. A really accomplished player, like Jeff Beck, can be equally proficient with fingerstyle and pick playing.

But, with regards to your question: The classical guitar sounds different and feels different. Play the classical guitar if you're in love with its sound!
That's amongst the superpowers. And even then, "everyone" knows that Nukes are last resort. Carriers allow constant ACTUAL power projection that can respond to events that don't require nukes.
Sitting in meetings might seem like an implementation detail to you, but it's dreadful for a lot of others. I don't think it's sad when someone decides they would rather not be a manager, I think it's normal. I also think it's not sad to decide leadership is an uninteresting prospect. People need to be led but you have needs yourself, and it's alright if those needs don't line up with leadership. It's okay to just be a person with a job.
Once they got going, liberty ships took an average of like 40 days. As a stunt they built one in 5 days.

> I am ok with random people picking random wallnuts

Is that typical for farmers? Like if I'm walking past a field of corn (or whatever) and I take some for myself (not to sell) - they are OK with it and don't consider it stealing?

(I've never done it, but been tempted - not because I can't afford it, but because it looks really fresh and tasty :)
Many medical organizations require a licensed psychologist to write the prescription for ADHD medications, rather than the attending PCP, and many insurance plans don't cover psychologist visits.
I think Uber's execution got them the market share they have (which btw is a huge achievement by any means) but lost them the time to build a decent culture.
The biggest secret to contracting is that your technical skills aren't nearly as important as your ability to sell. I'd rather be a great salesman and a mediocre developer than the other way around.
Dear aws,

Could you guys take it easy for a moment with spawning new weird services like horny hamsters, reflect on the ~372 you already have, and fix some aspects of them?

How about letting me add basic auth to S3 or CloudFront?
How about non-expiring signed s3 urls?
How about restricted access to api-gateway?
Hey, how about fixing Athena to stop throwing random errors, and actually support the fully featured presto syntax?

I could extend this list with 64 items more without even opening my dedicated aws complains notebook.
This is definitely false. I've had multiple women tell me the dominant thing they noticed on a first date was that I didn't order a drink. Likewise, many people can attest that the social encouragement to get everyone drinking in group situations is very explicit. Shared consumption of intoxicating substances is closely monitored by everyone in the group, and is not same thing as the true fact that no one cares whether you have a brown or black belt.
"his continued involvement in the day-to-day running of the company"

Question to Uber employees: Does Travis still come into the office everyday?
Possible explanation as follows: The perks for those jobs in our culture are different ones and on average women prefer a different mix.

In western culture, my experience has been: When you tell some acquaintance you're a software developer, engineer etc., they are almost instantly bored.

Contrast that with

* Science - The flair of knowledge, curiosity, discovery and a general sense of meaning

* the law - Status and money

* Medicine - Making a real difference in peoples lives, also extremely prestigous

Maybe men are just less capable of resisting the urge to tinker in order to achieve more respected/better payed jobs?

It bears to be repeated: This is western culture valuation, might be different in other cultures, which also might result in a different distribution.
I think your issue 1 is actually this way by design. Spectacles are meant for recording without worrying too much about how the content is coming out. The idea is to let you concentrate on living the moment rather than how to frame it. That's how I interpreted it, anyway.

The upload takes place in the background, so usually it would be completed by the time you're done with whatever activity and go into the app.
