To follow up, Newton can be characterized various ways, including "English academic around 1600", "possible Asbergers", and "possible asexual".

The argument is something like "Newton was neurologically atypical and the Newton of the 1600s couldn't manage the speech codes at modern Harvard therefore the speech codes at modern Harvard discriminate against the neurologically atypical."

However, replace "neurologically atypical" with "English academic around 1700s", which could include Hooke, Boyle, Halley, and many others. Would they be able to be at a modern Harvard? I suspect not all of them would.

On the other hand, the author lists many scientists "who seem, given biographical records, to have been on the autism/Asperger’s spectrum." Two are Barbara McClintock and Alan Turing. I selected them because I have read biographies about their lives.

Would they be able to be at a modern Harvard? Almost certainly.

So it's not obvious that rejecting Newton implies rejecting all those who are on the autism/Asperger’s spectrum.

I think the issue is finding people that want to learn it. Systems programmers are turned off because of it's limitations and your average pythonista or rubyist isn't interested in mucking around in type definitions or even thinking about concurrency.
"minimal effort" - that's exactly the keyword here. It allows absolute minimal effort and laziness from developer at the expense of end user. Electron is a technology that favors developer user experience over end-user user experience. And you wonder why it is hated?

It's like shitty iOS cordova packaged web apps - they also require "minimum effort" and "cross-platform functionality". At the tiny expense of horrible user experience.

> What would it take to achieve something like Electron but native? Why hasn't it been done yet?

Are you really that ignorant? Never heard of Qt, SWT, GTK and myriad of other cross-platform tools and widgets used to develop cross-platform apps since the 80s?
Which is why it's heavily downvoted, right?
It's available from the normal Chrome print menu, so you can test it yourself easily.
But to answer: I haven't used it extensively, but CSS and Javascript tend to make it a bit tricky. When you are viewing a webpage in the browser, you have one viewport, and scrolling can change the appearance or position of elements. Translating this to one long PDF is troublesome on some websites. As to what companies do that provide this as a service? I've got no clue, maybe brand this as their unique service? :D

In the EU you can only have as many people in an RV as it has seats with seatbelts(while it's moving, obviously) and everyone has to be sitting and buckled up on the road.

Imagine you are a Roman and arguing that slave owning is necessary to a functioning society. You are probably even correct and Roman state wouldn't be possible without slaves. Nevertheless, we know that it wasn't an ethical state order. Taxes are similar - they are involuntary, they are required to have a modern state and they are status quo.

Looking at the past, we see that more and more ways to force people do things against their will were discovered as unethical - e.g. slavery, feudalism, divine rights of kings, coverture.

I think there is a non-zero chance, that future people will consider modern taxation (and probably the idea of Westphalian sovereignty) unethical too.

Having a variable header complicates Cut-Through switching[0], which forwards the entire frame just after the switch gets the destination field of the header.

This sounds like it would force a return to Store-And-Forward[1], where the switch waits for the entire frame to load into memory, before forwarding to its next hop. Waiting these few milliseconds doesn't sound bad, until you consider that's added to each packet, reducing (e.g.) application performance.

> Kind of crazy just how late it was decolonized: 1975.

Actually it was fully decolonized in 2002.

Independence didn't lead to real independence. Europeans, americans, russians, etc fought over "independent" angola for 37 years after 1975.

It's pretty amazing how such a small colonial power stayed under the radar for so long.

Most european empires still have overseas colonies. The french still have colonies all over the world. The british just renamed their the "commonwealth".

And former european colonial powers still exercise power over much of africa, middle east, etc.

It's now under the banner of "democracy and freedom and etc" rather than to bring "civilization". European colonization just got rebranded. That's all.
AMS verification setup using Config view – Proof of Concept
Everyone arched forward and snores, it’s impressive really.
Coming from the Internet, how about you both back up your statement with some rationale?
Its a mix of things.

Android by design leave apps in the background when you exit them via the home button.

Before 4.0 introduced the switcher button, and the accompanying swipe action to fully close an app, the only way to properly exit an app was to hit the back button until you exited back to the home screen.

This because the initial design of Android was less about apps and more about "activities". These were the individual parts of an app, and what enables that one app launch parts of another app to complete a user action (the most prominent likely being the share menu).

This was presented back in the day as a metaphorical stack of cards. As more user actions where taken that opened more activities, those activities would be added on top of the stack. Then as the user hit the back button he would be flipping backwards in that stack. To enable all this, Android keep apps around in RAM until it runs low, and then start to close down the oldest ones (first by waking them up and telling them to exit gracefully, then forcing them).

Thus often an app will sit in the background even though it is doing nothing.

One good way to observe this (until recently) was to run something like OSMonitor and look at CPU time of various app processes. Often they would be present but basically show no indication of actually doing anything. They would just sit there idle, waiting for user actions.
If you're looking for business opportunities, look for "dirty" jobs. They are everywhere and in every field. Find them, do them, do them well enough to know why no one wants to do them. And only then get creative about doing these jobs without getting dirty.

A "dirty" job is anything that needs to be done but is considered beneath many.
Thanks for looking that up. I did not know that. It also supports my argument that Newton was able to keep private matters which would have caused moral outrage in his era.
I just framed the start of that comic this weekend, to put up in the house and was thinking about that exact scenario this morning on my commute to work - odd to see both this article and this comment here.

Love the idea though - the problem with roadtripping in a 'camper' is that you waste the day travelling. I looked into staying in a camper in London for a bit when I was commuting there - but you have to go very stealth (if it isn't automatically driving around all night ;))
> So, lots of low hanging fruit.

Well, yes and no. Speaking as someone who has done this as well: if it's UI stuff, or gluing processes together, it's fine. But sometimes they want you to fix up a custom algorithm they implemented. Which can be one of those cutting-edge scientific things that actually require a PhD-level of knowledge and insight into the topic. So you can only get half-way with untangling the spaghetti mess without sincerely not knowing for sure if you broke something or fixed a bug, because you don't know what the correct output should be.
I bought one of those for my gf because I wanted to see if it was any good.

Quick review.

iOS users have to use their spotify app which is lousy.

Google Play users can cast to it, thankfully.

Major positive point is that it uses wifi and supports casting from Google Play. But for my gf who uses iphone she hates it.

Overall we prefer the Marshall bluetooth speakers over Sonos because in an apartment there's rarely a need for wifi casting music.

Edit: Chromecast audio is also a viable alternative. Based on how well my regular Chromecast (video) works for me I assume the audio one is as good.

And if Android itself didn't tell you enough, there were apps line OSMonitor that could give you more detail (at least until Google shitcanned the permissions that it relied on for "security" reasons).

If the goal is to get the hiring manager the right person, then the best resumes should be submitted without imposing some arbitrary diversity requirement.

Also IIRC, digital currency is base on how much someone is willing to pay for it. If you own 90% of bitcoin and the rest own 10%, then wouldn't it be useless? I mean I'm not force to use bit coin I can just use real money if it's so hard to get bitcoin. There aren't that many people who are deeply invested in bit coin with a 90-10. The whole thing is kinda base on greed...
Prior art applies to patents, not trademarks. Trademark rights arise from use in commerce.

Trademarks generally go to the first user within a given market. In this case, had the Googleplex delivered online search services and were in business before Google they would be able to stop Google from being "Google" if that it would dilute the value of their trademark or, more likely, cause customer confusion.

Ideally they would have federally registered the trademark and also protected it in the market in a timely fashion. If not they would lose their protection, which is why trademarks are vigorously protected.

I think there's literally zero chance that combustion engines will be made straight up illegal, just like we haven't made steam engines illegal. They will fade into obscurity and be only used on special occasions, mostly because of raising fuel prices but also competitiveness from electric vehicles. I see no problem in someone firing up a combustion engine to power a vintage car if there is close to zero of them on the road. Even now you can see examples of it happening with some really really old tanks, which are only started up during shows and only if there is a tonne of funding for them, since they use a few gallons of fuel just to start.

Once the fuel hits $20+/gallon there won't be any need to ban ICEs, they will push themselves out.
It just sped up the inevitable losses from another scammy ICO. In this case, the hackers made the process more efficient.

I'm not familiar with the video and will check it out when I'm at home.

If I was to say more on 10 BY 10 it's that I don't see the differentiator. Plenty of search firms are staffed by people with domain knowledge and the pre-screening of resumes by an expert or qualifying candidate interest prior to resume submission are not significant enough to differentiate in that space.

If I was to be cynical, I'd say that going through YC gives them access to a lot of prospective clients because I fail to see why any particular significant investment would be needed to start a search firm.

I see the TC article talks about a marketplace so perhaps there is a development down the line of what their solution looks like.

You'd think people smart enough to pursue stem phds would understand basic programming abstractions, but that is often not the case. Another issue is that researchers don't normally use good software engineering practices. I have yet to be given any code that has even a single unit test. Source control is being used these days, but the repositories are usually unorganized messes with unhelpful commit histories. No one keeps track of system dependencies, and few understand build systems.

Good developers get paid enough, that it indicates that maybe our job isn't quite that easy to learn.

Our basic programming abstractions and software engineering practices are things that we as a field developed over time, based on experience; it's not like they're something you just automatically know without having to sink time into studying if you're above some IQ level. They also depend to varying degrees on how big your program is, which parts are expected to change more or less rapidly, what kind of program it is, etc.

Unit tests assume you know what the code is supposed to do before you write it, that the code will change significantly more often than the required functionality, and that the tests are easier to read and check than the code being tested.
That sums up my impression as a New Zealander as well.

It's just the angolan political elite and portuguese business elite plus a handful of chinese oil companies that dominate angola. It isn't angola dominating portugal.

As with most things security, people tend to be the weakest link in the chain.

This type of issue could be solved in a lot of ways. I think a solution wherein:

1. ICOs use a standard 'escrow' contract wherein ether and coin get held by the contract for 7 days or so before either party can withdraw the opposite pair (where either can back out).

2. Building some standard 'ether address' widget that verifies the type of contract an address is. A user-wallet would usually be a warning sign.
We don't want AI that can understand us – we'd only end up arguing
I take the point but by their own admission, resume acceptance is at 50% when it could be at 80% so on that score they are failing to convince the client of the benefit of that diversity.

If I am a hiring manager and I am rejecting 1/2 resumes as opposed to 1/4, I'd question what the search firm is doing.
This looks like another in a series of ICOs which are not being handled with appropriate security controls.

When people are planning on taking in millions of dollars of investment in an easily traded, easily stolen, digital currency, they've got to expect attention from relatively well funded/motivated attackers.

Unfortunately many of the founders of these ICOs don't seem to be that well setup in this regard as some of the disclosed hacks, including this one, aren't exactly advanced.
