The Social Benefits of Swearing
That's why literally anybody can volunteer and there're lots of people from different backgrounds counting the ballots and checking each other.
In my experience atlassian products dont really integrate with each other any better than they do with third party products. I wouldn't expect a jira/stride workflow to be any better than a jira/slack workflow.
There's been a lot of work done on the effects of long-term unemployment -- I'd wager that a lack of purpose drives opioid use rather than the other way around...
Fortune has "1 in 5 Men Drop Out of the Labor Market Because of Drugs".
Er, you've got it the wrong way around. Failure to divert flights would leave money on the table - there's no profit in potential customers who would have been willing to pay you for a service that you don't deliver. It's diverting flights that lets you actually charge the 'gouging' money and increase profits and stock value. This is the principle of how capitalism works. It's the reason why capitalism turned out to work better than communism. We shouldn't ignore our knowledge of basic economics in a disaster area, because that's where it's most badly needed of all.
I've never been able to find anything definitive about Thiel and Ayyadurai. I did a longer search last year, but here are links I dug up just now. http://gizmodo.com/peter-thiel-wont-say-if-hes-bankrolling-l..., http://www.latimes.com/business/hiltzik/la-fi-hiltzik-email-....

That said, to my knowledge, Thiel has refused to publicly deny it. If SV had more scruples, he'd be forced to go on the record about it, because funding Ayyadurai would be indefensible.
AI-Powered Genomics Platform WuXi NextCode Closes $240MM Round
The issue you linked seems to be fixed in this release. Any other issues that's keeping you from adopting Yarn?
Secure software isn't useful? Insecure software isn't eventually value-destroying?

Really what this sub-thread is arguing is that security Isn't My Job(TM) as application developer. I disagree. Furthermore telling app devs not to worry about it because nginx takes care of everything is a false security blanket that will bite you eventually.

Not accepting unbound input and sane rate-limiting are kind of basic stuff, no? I'm not saying every app developer needs to be a Defcon wizard, just that they should have some fundamental awareness of secure coding standards for web apps if that's what they're building.
Ok, they are both top 100 for engineering and top 50 for business programs.

I think you are confusing "great" with "top" or "prestigious". They are great universities.

And college rankings aren't everything. Those universities put out a high volume entrepreneurs, more than most of the top 50 engineering schools. For example, I don't see most of the top engineering schools on this list: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DHB_9l_UAAE8Fzn.jpg
"Evolved?" WTF 2x. "Keeping up with the Joneses" is not a natural law. This entire thread is a shitshow of preconceived notions and willful ignorance, and your last sentence has five layers of weasel words.

I have never heard of peer pressure being a contributing factor in unemployment, does it work for employment, too? Cuz maybe that would make it a confounding variable.
Anecdotal, but my Indian-American coworkers strongly believe him.
> The cost of undoing the emissions only sets the price on CO2 emissions if that cost is lower than the cost of enduring the damage associated with not undoing them.

That's correct. that's why parent poster said "assuming the right legislation forcing them to do so is in place". The cost of enduring the damage would be fines and/or jail time.
Suppose I'm in an area where all of the dialysis clinics have been shut down by a hurricane and floods, and I have a family member who needs dialysis within the next 48 hours. My only hope is to fly them to an area where they can get dialysis. I'm much more concerned with whether or not there is a seat available, than the amount it will cost me. A $350 seat is of no use to me if someone else has already bought it.

Conversely, suppose my whole family is healthy and able bodied, but we just don't feel like living in a temporary shelter set up in a high school gymnasium for the next week. I'm on the ball, and I check flights to my brother's city, and because I'm in early enough and the flights are normal price, I spring for tickets for the entire family. Other people who need the seats far more than I do are out of luck. I realize this, but I figure someone else will snap up the seats, regardless of whether they need them as little as I do.
Would it be possible to setup 'no minimum wage' economic zones in the country. I know many ppl got their start in tech from doing tech support, perhaps that would help ppl build their skills ( and confidence) from the jobs that get in-sourced from India. Govt can prbly foot the bill to makeup for the wage loss. Just a thought.

Empty mind is devils workshop.
> One thing that rarely gets mentioned is how abundantly SAFE opiates are. If you know what you're getting, know what dosage it is, and know it's not adulterated with other substances, you can use opiates for decades without significant health complications (aside from constipation).

But there's little evidence that opioids are effective for treating long term pain.

We know about 10% of people who take prescription opioids will become addicted, and that tends to be the people using them for chronic (long term) pain.

> Fundamentally there is one group of people who is angry that other people are using a chemical to feel good because they feel that if other people aren't suffering as much as they have then they were cheated somehow. And they've been driving policy since the 80s, costing countless lives and monumental amounts of resources. Just to make sure no one has an easier time of life than they had

No, that's wrong. There are people who see that opioids are massively over prescribed in the US, which is causing untold harm and death. Trying to cut back on that massive over-prescribing has to happen.

The problem lies with a fucked up health system that doesn't provide drug & alcohol rehab; and just cuts people off from their meds cold turkey.

Thanks, this is not the information I was asking for though. I was asking for the % of new opioid addicts began their addiction from medication prescribed to them.
A wiki that allows referencing to a ticketing system - the way you can tie confluence docs to jira - is, imo, one of the unique tie-ins I've not seen replicated in any other system.

Check list of items in confluence? Click and ... bam - tickets where you can track discussion, media, code, etc. Link back to the definition doc, and the doc has a status view of the ticket(s).

I've wondered if they've got some patent on this which has prevented other folks from replicating it. Or... is everyone else so focused on "disparate tools that talk to each other" that this tie in has never made it on anyone's radar?

If this was in redmine (for example) - having the wiki be aware of the ticket system - that would be great.
Don't forget D&D as well as Devil worship...

I wonder if "opioid addict" will replace the "welfare queen" stereotype for blame-the-victim-and-gov't memes.
My heroku deploy succeeded, but my CircleCI run failed for the same reason. Had to upgrade package.json as well, since my circleci build downloads yarn each time. Probably not the most efficient way of doing this but it worked...
When can we have scientific papers formatted for the web? Reading pdf's with many tiny columns spread across each page puts me off reading so much.
What indication do you have that any federal solution would be better than the state one? They're operating under the same laws and RFP/selection requirements.

The only difference at the federal level would be it affects 100% of Germans instead of 66%.
Don't Look Now, but Productivity Is Finally Rising
WOW there is a lot of incorrect crap in your comment.

And yet, oddly, you frittered away the opportunity to identify even one piece of “incorrect crap” to instead go off on a rant about the DEA. At least I think that’s what you’re on about.
What about Hispanics? Where did you get that stat from, can you cite your source please?
You can't tell someone they are not in pain. If they stub a toe and say their pain is a 10-out-of-10, then you take their word for it.
Ive been in the game a while now , almost 18 years - 7 as a dev, and still get asked by recruiters generally within the first or second question if i have a github profile. Nope, I moved to BitBucket. Recruiter: never heard of it, what's that?

It'd be nice if tech recruiters actually had a background in tech.
yes, we will eventually.
Why does everyone making these analysis ignore the context and the choices leading up to the moment in question?

Hurricanes are not stealthy, there are multiple day's warning before they make any kind of landfall. One person gave up something in the days prior to the hurricane so that they could have sufficient supplies to last out the event. Another person didn't make the same choice, and now it's being deemed unfair and unjust that the second person has to do without or pay a premium for their decision.
Agree, when tech company choose sites, they tends to locate near schools. Somewhere in Midwest is no go, since Amazon would find it difficult to recruit people. I would say Pittsburgh is a reasonable bet.

And a significant portion of that 37% goes straight into the pockets of connected contracting companies, especially DoD related ones. Usually staffed by people who constantly rant against how inefficient and evil government is.
From listening to Jordan Peterson talk about psych, he says if men get unemployed, they're going to develop depression and chronic pain(and he says the two are almost one in the same), and then turn to opioids, especially if they're conscientious.
Disney to Include Star Wars, Marvel on New Streaming Service
Denver possibly, but absolutely not Boulder. Boulder is a complete failure when it comes to transportation -- no light rail connection to Denver's system, although they collected sales tax for years claiming that was going to finance it; also, adding 50,000 new workers in a city of 100,000 would simply crush the existing infrastructure. Plus the local city council has been on a quixotic quest to confiscate electric utilities (distribution without production). The local developers have been giddy for the last few years that Google is bringing one thousand workers there, that's how strained housing already is.
I will "officially" hope AMZN chooses ATL (as leverage for a bigger raise) but ATL has problems.

1) traffic -- not sure it's possible to get to ATL airport in 45 min during rush hour, without using MARTA rail.

2) transit -- how much "developable" land has a mass transit stop on-site? AMZN would either have to buy a developed site or have a MARTA rail spur built.

3) ATL airport -- a certain airline has way too much power there.

But anyway, I found the perfect spot for AMZN if they can swing it - it meets their core requirements (it's even built over a MARTA rail stop) -- http://www.midtownatl.com/view/atandt-building
Sounds like they might be using HipChat self-hosted, not in their "Cloud" solution.
In some fields like psychology, power is more likely to already be 10% or 20% for the majority of studies, and in fact P-hacking and low standards for evidence would be far less harmful if power were higher, because low power leads to inflated effect size estimates. Additionally, power calculations are always just a guess and easy to fudge, so it's pretty much a given that current statistical power would not be maintained with more stringent critical values. See http://andrewgelman.com/2014/11/17/power-06-looks-like-get-u...

So this proposal is really the opposite of pragmatic. Pragmatic would be requiring effect size estimates and confidence intervals in all published papers. It is surprising how many papers will talk about highly significant effects without actually discussing how large the estimated effect is thought to be, which gives authors a lot of leeway when exaggerating the importance of their findings.
I wouldn't waste my money on something like that when you can do something similar with a glass jar and a sous vide circulator.

http://www.sousweed.com/blog/2015/6/13/sous-vide-cannabis-bu... is a recipe I've followed with great results.

Edit: Plus now you can sous vide meats and whatever. It's a win-win.
Who else thinks they might just put the second headquarters in Redmond? It meets all of their criteria.
I've not spent much time in academia, but it was my impression that p-hacking is driven primarily by ignorance rather than willful deceit. If that is indeed the case, it would indeed limit p-hacking as there's usually a finite number of variables being looked at.

Edit: or rather, it would limit false positives that show up as a result of accidental p-value hacking, if not the process itself.
Ask HN: Slack alternative with native clients
Quite some time ago, someone on HN mentioned a group chat app (like Slack) that comes with truly native clients for all supported platforms. I tried to search for HN that comment but found nothing. Was it just my imagination?

P.S. By "native" I mean Cocoa on Mac, etc. Not a web page packaged in an app, i.e. no Electron and similar.
There's all sorts of (arguably destructive/harmful) cultural behaviors that you could ask the same question about. Apparently the answer is that they are human.

I also wonder why you are so certain that video games are a substitute for drug use. Do you also not play video games?

rr is my goto debugger. It opens up new super-powers for debugging scripts. Consider this gdb script:

b broken_1_in_1000_times_at_random.cpp:1
c
b usually_runs_normally.cpp:1
reverse-continue

And now step through forward to figure out what went wrong. This tool is worth your time to learn. There are a couple of minor annoyances (you can't re-use existing gdb scripts that contain the "run" command because the inferior is already running, but there are workarounds. Here's what I use:

python
import gdb
class MyRunOrContinue (gdb.Command):
"""Run inferior if not already running, otherwise continue (useful for rr)."""

def __init__ (self):
super (MyRunOrContinue, self).__init__ ("just-go", gdb.COMMAND_USER)

def invoke (self, arg, from_tty):
if gdb.selected_inferior().pid != 0:
gdb.execute('continue')
else:
gdb.execute('run')

MyRunOrContinue()
end

There are a few other minor annoyances, but all in all a great tool.
testrpc is more of a backend for developing and running tests for solidity smart contracts (e.g., Truffle recommends it as a backend for testing).

My project is more focused on getting people to use the actual ethereum tooling (geth), and for them to learn what's going on under the hood.
There are so many problems with this:

1) The p-value filter leads to publication bias.

-You should publish your results anyway, or the study wasn't designed/performed correctly. The raw data and description of methods should be valuable.

2) The null hypothesis is (almost) always false anyway.

-Everything in bio/psych/etc has a real (not spurious) non-zero correlation with everything else, so the significance level just determines how much data needs to be collected to reject it.

3) Rejection or not of the null hypothesis does not indicate whether the theory/explanation of interest is correct, so is inappropriate for deciding whether a result is interesting to begin with.

-Usually the null hypothesis is very precise and the "alternative statistical hypothesis" that maps to the research hypothesis is very vague, so many alternative research hypotheses may explain the results.
Italy's last sea silk master
Well, FWIW, I live in Houston, just endured Harvey, my car was totaled and part of my house was flooded -- still luckier than many people no doubt -- but even after having gone through this disaster, I STILL believe that coercion is wrong.

I'm not against private charity, or communities voluntarily coming together to prepare for the next disaster, but that doesn't justify using coercion.
10 Random Ideas for September 1, 2017
I hope it will cost them some market share. People should not tolerate this nonsense.
> Main takeaway is that it is probably solveable, but only by government-scale efforts (philanthropy can't cover it).

Well... Technically possible, yeah. One of the more expensive projects the US has ever done is the Apollo project, which was a bit over $20 billion annually in todays money, or .1% of GDP. Even building the nuclear arsenal was only $100 billion annually. So as a country the best we've managed is .5% of GDP, against the much more politically actionable threat of the USSR. A 1-2 order of magnitude increase over that is pretty unlikely.

Hell, global defense spending in 2016 was only 1.6 trillion.
>The analysis lacks empathy.

The existence of the need shows a lack of empathy. There is no one alive who doesn't know that there will be emergencies and unexpected events. Their failure to prepare and subsequent expectation that they will have their needs met by tapping the resources of someone who did prepare is selfish and greedy.

>one whole living system of which we're just cells

It's a moving metaphor but of course cells within us have the same genome whereas different humans have different genomes. So it's hard to consider them part of one living system, unless one accepts the Gaia Hypothesis.

The sense of oneness or of a divine essence permeating the whole of physical reality is caused by the fact that we don't perceive external entities directly. Rather we each of us perceive our own unified model of reality comprised of tokens for all entities including tokens representing external physical objects. And we may eventually become aware of this, giving rise to that sense. For some people this happens with the assistance of a hallucinogen which I think distorts the model enough for it to become noticeable as a model. Others have spontaneous spiritual experiences.

None of which is to say that life isn't precious, or that consciousness is not a wonderful thing.
I think that is dangerous mindset. It is unnecessarily idealizing the past while glossing over any potential flaws. It insinuates that people were happier in the past and it ignores that the standard of living for most Americans has gone up over the decades (due mostly to technology and globalization even with little to no increased income). There is still a lot of work that needs to be done to improve things, but lamenting about the good old days is further delaying that progress.

EDIT: I changed up the first sentence to be less political as the downvotes reminded me HN is probably not the place for that sentiment.
Maybe it was gitter? it was boughtby gitlab and opensourced iirc
> I'm having a hard time not getting snarky here because, to be honest, you don't seem to be arguing in good faith.

Really? Not in good faith? I'm neither a shareholder of these airlines, neither live in the US, and recently most of my income is not related to the US. I'm just stating my opinion.
Al Gore’s New Movie Exposes the Big Flaw in Online Movie Ratings
I was always a bit mystified by the opencobol -> gnucobol transition. I vaguely recall reading something about for profit, third parties not playing nice and extending opencobol and then not opening their code or contributing back to opencobol. And opencobol's move to gnu was in part a way to get more muscle for license enforcement. Does anyone reading have more information on that situation? Did I imagine it?
Lol, no surprise here.
The article spends the first half implying causation, briefly admits this study does not address that, and then resumes suggesting that causation exists.

I hope that's not considered responsible science journalism.

Personally, I don't conclude anything from this. The tone and overreaching conclusions in the study abstract and in the quotes of the study's conclusion make me think the study's authors were looking for a specific answer, which they found. It's not hard to pull what you're looking for out of nothing using statistics, especially on your own data. In fact, it's hard NOT to do.
Wow. I thought you were kidding. That's disgusting. I don't dare link it here for fear of encouraging such behavior.
Perhaps I'm wrong, but from your posts here I don't get the sense that you were close enough to the project to really know their team composition or how to improve it. Your prescription comes off as armchair quarterbacking.

The time it would take me to research a logging bot, set up a server, add monitoring to make sure it stays up would cost more of my time than purchasing Slack for several years for my small team. I don't see how you claim it can be easier than Slack since Slack by definition has everything stored already, you just have to pay for it.
Some fun context: Walmart is selling water at normal prices and shipping it in from distribution centers as far away as Nevada.
That would be an interesting way to experiment with UBI, in a economic zone with sufficient UBI, you allow no min wage, no unemployment, etc...
So why not create an organization that voluntarily creates the outcome you desire, why do you have to use coercion to solve the problem?

Yes, ~97% or so, as the author noted in TFA.
> eth-private-net is a simple tool that allows you to quickly setup a three-node private Ethereum network running locally on your personal computer. The tool makes initializing, starting, and connecting nodes fast and easy. The network comes with three pre-made identities (Alice, Bob, and Lily) and a tutorial that walks you through simple actions like mining and transferring Ether, and culminates with the deployment and execution of a simple smart contract called FreeBeer.

> I wrote this tool because I found a lot of the Ethereum tooling opaque and difficult to understand. A lot of the information that I needed to know was scattered through the documentation, and there wasn't a single place that wrapped together the most instructive examples to build my understanding. Moreover, I wanted a tool that would allow me to repeatedly reinitialize a network from a known, clean state to help me experiment with building, deploying, and running smart contracts.

Exactly the kind of thing I've been looking for! Thank you tons.
Measuring from Product to Development
9.99% net income. It's flat so there is no "effective" rate.
Fundamentally, a lot of people think it's okay/desirable for some to be deprived of a scarce resource because they lost a government lottery, but not okay when they're deprived of it because they can't afford it.

If your moral framework views "deprived by the government's fair/random centrally planned allocation" and "deprived by the market's prices" as roughly equivalent, then you won't have a lot of common ground with those people.

It's the same in urban housing.

Some want to minimize deprivation, others only want to distribute it more evenly across the socioeconomic spectrum.
Wow, yeah you're right. I gave the feasibility analysis a more thorough read and it seems like they're exploiting the amplifier inside the mic itself to down-convert the frequency on portions of the signal. I don't fully understand what nonlinearity is being taken advantage of, but to as an acoustics layman this seems pretty impressive!
