I second this. Wilma's eye passed over us, which was my first time ever experiencing the eye wall of a hurricane. I vividly remember watching our house's patio enclosure get destroyed from my parents' bedroom.

I wouldn't stick around for this one if I were still in Florida.
I'm curious why your web site so prominently lists that employees eat dinner at work before going home. Do you not realize this is a major red flag and automatically turns off anyone with a family, even if it's "optional"?
How to Choose the Best Boxing Shoes
1. Because the vast majority of them already died from smallpox well before Manifest Destiny.

2. There is still a huge amount of open space in America. In 1800, there were only 5 million citizens, compared to 323 million today.

3. Natives lived all over the continent. Europeans landed where the ocean ended.
Was that before or after 1.0? We do time-based releases, every six weeks. New stuff is still being worked on all the time, like most languages.
Did it ever occur to you they might not be bad developers, they're just goofing off because there's no consequence for being slow?

Like when my old work actually started measuring ticket closure times, our best developers were only 2x more productive than our worst ones. But suddenly a lot more tickets were getting closed.

I mean,I know that some complicated tasks needed the best developers, as the worst ones literally were incapable of understanding the code, but then again doesn't that say something about the code itself and how poorly it communicates its intent? Perhaps clever code is simply confusing code...
Well...

> A contract with high termination fees

Not sure people who are getting married generally see it that way. There are certainly the segment of people out there who view marriage as the thing you do after dating, but there are others who legitimately see it as wanting to spend your life with someone and maybe have kids of your own. When you make that kind of a commitment and mean it, it's not a contract with termination fees. It's a promise.

From that point forward you are doing what's best for your family and not just you...not because you have to compromise on everything but because you love your family and you want what's best for them.

It's not so much a matter of being agreeable as a matter of putting your family before yourself.
We've updated the title from “Dietary sugars, not lipids, drive hypothalamic inflammation”, which sort of plainly doesn't follow the conclusions of the study.
One such alternative would seem to be Proudhon's anarchism (mutualism) or even Marx's (or his predecessor's) Communism, though I know this is generally an unpopular response, I see no reason why it has no merit.
I got bitten quite hard by some edge cases in the combination of btrfs, LUKS and snapper in desktop usage. It was both btrfs and the tooling around it as well as my ignorance. It's not a very interesting story.
Fair comment; I went back and read Putin's comments [0] as well but it's not clear his vision of AI-based drones fundamentally altering combat is any more perceptive. The move to drones is already long underway, driven by cost, human frailty (pilots cannot take more than about 9Gs), and factors like the rise of carrier-killing missiles. AI will be used in drones just as jet and composite technology are already. But altering warfare in a fundamental way?

Just as a counter-example, let's consider something that really would alter the balance of power--reliable defense against ballistic missiles. This would render the nuclear arsenals of powers unable to afford such technology nearly useless against those that could.

Granted it's a judgement call but AI does not yet seem to be in the same league.

Well, okay, closest I could find was this $279 one with a lockable door but no window, but I haven't looked all that hard.
Nice work.

Data collection is definitely the hardest part of this, so the more work you do to streamline and incentivize the UI and UX the better. For a first step, maybe use google spreadsheets convert to form feature?
Hmm, that's a good point! However I don't think this would be a major hurdle: file permissions offer OS-level security only, not disk-level security/encryption, so it would still make sense for different OS drivers to implement only their specific permissions attributes.
You offer more jobs the more values I select.

It seems that you select the jobs by 'or-ing' the values so that the jobs are shown where at least one value matches.

I would prefer if you would 'and' the values so that I only see the positions that fulfill all the values that I have selected.
I think it matters because electronic devices are explicitly banned. Sign stealing itself is okay so long as you don't use binoculars, electronic devices, etc.
Also they accompany it with a picture of a fun work outing. Those can be great, but should go with some other key value. When I think of work/life balance I think of having time to myself, to relax, see friends/family and work on other things/hobbies. Company events are nice and I think a good idea in terms of teambuilding but they are still on the side of work, not life.
Ask HN: Evolution of technologic business strengths
Hi HN!

Some years ago a software engeneering professor said that strengths in businesses have evolved from hardware then to software and now to data. Like at first hardware was a key differentiator but then became a commodity, so software was the differentiator, and then again with software and data.

I'm looking for some kind of reference about this but my google-fu isn't working well today and I thought that probably someone in the HN crowd may knew something about this or write an insightful mini essay in the comments ;)

I know we can probably discuss that our data is now bought and sold so we are in a new state of things, but at first I'm looking for some references.

Thanks in advance, any pointer would be appreciated.
FWIW, I live in Michigan and know people that send their kids to charter schools and they are quite happy with it.

Right. The mention of the Apple Watch was a little disingenuous. The sign-stealing could have just as easily been performed with any number of smart watches or even just a cell phone.
Because it's much easier to find an arbitrary source to trust in a one off transaction than to find a source that has perfect reliability moving forward.
My goal is having two individuals loving each other, protected during their relationships with some rights (ie, if she/he is injured at the hospital I am recognized the right to go see her/him), that are able to move away freely from each other without feeling stuck in a contract.

Some of this couples will last forever, some will realize they are not meant for each other and they can walk away without ruining their or their partner's life.

Maybe some of them will ultimately be more happy with their lives and meet other people who they really love.

The current legal form of marriage formalizes love in a contract that doesn't take into account the fact that love can disappears one day for no reason, but assumes marriage is here to stay. Or to be more accurate, it does take that into account with a very expensive trigger called "divorce". Therefore the divorce is putting a price to my lack of love, and makes the decision to quit harder. By doing so the decision of staying together, which should be governed by love, is determined by cost, effectively negating the whole purpose of a marriage.

Unless it's purpose keeping two individuals together no matter what, even if there's no love. Maybe it made sense in the medieval era, not in our century.
SMS or iMessage is probably too slow, trainers were probably using physical cues (like if I touch my cap it's a slider) to relay messages.
Air temperature isn't the only thing that heats a condenser. Solar radiation does that too.

It's actually critical. Sign stealing is not illegal, although frowned upon. However, FTA:

I thought you meant the White Man's Burden, the poem, as it's the one I'm familiar with. I wasn't aware there was a book.
The thing that I worry about more is the media’s bias toward fairness. Nobody uses the word lie anymore. Suddenly, everything is 'a difference of opinion.' If the entire House Republican caucus were to walk onto the floor one day and say “The Earth is flat,” the headline on the New York Times the next day would read 'Democrats and Republicans Can’t Agree on Shape of Earth.' I don’t believe the truth always lies in the middle. I don’t believe there are two sides to every argument. I think the facts are the center. And watching the news abandon the facts in favor of “fairness” is what’s troubling to me.

You probably misread, the camera was allegedly used by the Yankees. That was the complaint filed in response by the Red Sox.
Largely because of biological aging, especially on that last point.

Relationships will be interesting once aging is no longer a concern. I suspect it will be common for most marriages to have a natural duration that's planned for up front.
What do you think of city mayor's decision not to order a larger scale evacuation. NYT seems to think it was absolutely (their word) the right thing to do. Being on the ground there, would you agree?

I found that this one and windy.com give me bad information; something about the plugins I use and/or browser settings I suspect. With windy.com I saw Harvey crashing into Mexico and with earth.nullschool.net I just saw Irma almost directly south of Florida. Since it sounds like windy.com is based on the earth.nullschool.net code, I suspect it is the same issue in both. It seems like sometimes the map and wind layers get out of sync after moving the view area.

https://www.ventusky.com seems to work for me so far.

I am a dreamer too, also happen to be a legal citizen which from my perspective is far more important.
If you own a company and would take a salary of 1 million you get taxed on that 1 million. If instead the company pays 70k that year for rent on your condo, 35k on the lease of your vehicle, and another 20k on food and you draw no salary, so your taxable personal income is 125k. You keep the other 875k in the company until you can find more preferable tax treatment for that money.

Obviously this is a terribly contrived example, but it is somewhat descriptive of the type of strategy used to reduce taxable income. Things are obviously more complicated when you have numerous types of income from domestic and foreign sources.
I think this is the big one. If you don't disagree on anything in a way that makes compromise turn into regret, then things will likely turn out alright.
Having enough clout to negotiate that stuff away isn't universal. I suspect you could also have walked away from a job with terms you didn't like. Many people can't do that without risking financial ruin.
That doesn't sound far off from "Happy wife, happy life". Both my wife and I think it is the dumbest thing ever. To me, that attitude is what is wrong with marriage.

Nobody is ever right all the time, not even my wife.
Pointing that out may not cause immediate happiness, but I think an honest relationship is worth it.
I agree that the post was overly hyperbolic.

But unfortunately by this point it's beyond dispute that Google has engaged in some seriously questionable behavior, on ethical fronts -- such that to refer to this conduct as a serious "mistakes" smacks of denial, or whitewashing.
> In a language that's as strongly typed as Rust

Isn't this more-or-less true of any statically-typed language? I can't think of any off the top of my head that have the behavior of implicitly re-defining a type when a new definition is encountered after another definition was previously brought into scope.

Even C isn't that sadistic:

$ echo "\
> #include <time.h>
> struct tm {};" | cc -ansi -xc -
<stdin>:2:8: error: redefinition of 'struct tm'
struct tm {};
^~
In file included from <stdin>:1:0:
/usr/include/time.h:74:8: note: originally defined here
struct tm {
^~
I guess I don't understand the chain of events then. Do you feel like you do?

Catcher makes a sign -> ????? -> info is relayed to the batter.

(There are, of course, likely to be some genuinely phenomenal charter schools. The article does cite stats for Michigan that say, on average, they're worse than average.)

There are empirical measures of school performance. Anecdotal happiness isn't really one of them.

I don't quite understand what that means. If your radiator is supposed to radiate away the surrounding heat, shouldn't it on the contrary be connected as much as possible to the environment?

Some of these seem a bit arbitrary. I wish the author included more info explaining their reasoning.

It's not but keep in mind with no debt, there is no US treasury market. You have to have a little bit of it.

Having said that, government debt is a little different from personal or business debt for a couple of major reasons:

1. Government's don't die. If they do, debt is the least of your worries.

2. Governments can control inflation and print money.

Having said that, I'm not agreeing our amount of debt is good or even ok, it's just there are different things to consider and it isn't really analogous to personal or business debt.

I think they both used camera's. For the Red Sox to get signs without someone on second, they would need a camera. If they only got them when a man was on second, they wouldn't need an Apple watch (man on second can signal to batter themselves).

...in the same sense that bathroom breaks or channel-changing for TV ads are tools to "steal" money from the networks? Sorry, but nobody promised to watch the commercials.

I don't think it's fair to imply some sort of moral contract that if I serve you videos with ads, you're obligated to pay attention to the ads as well as the content. You are free to do what you want, including pay someone else to cut the ads out for you or install a tool that does it for free. I have to accept these possibilities when I choose how to distribute my 'content' and so do the advertisers.

(I realize that we're currently in an "equilibrium" where a lot of 'content' on the web is ad-supported so it's difficult for creators to distribute in any other way. That's unfortunate both for creators and users.)
Maybe it was: if I touch my Apple watch it's a slider, if I touch my Android watch it's a fast ball. The article seemed fairly confident they were using the Apple watch for something.
But then you need to be extremely driven. There are very few things in life I would be willing to sacrifice sleeping a little bit longer for.

No... from the article "The commissioner’s office then confronted the Red Sox, who admitted that their trainers had received signals from video replay personnel and then relayed that information to some players — an operation that had been in place for at least several weeks."

The video replay personnel are sending messages, via Apple watch to the trainers.

The longer you live together and pool resources the harder it will be to cleanly break apart. Marriage makes an implicit contract and ruleset an explicit one. If you are gonna be in a perma-relationship, why reinvent the wheel when you can adopt an existing system that has been in place in one form or other for thousands of years?
Contrast that to Colorado, where charter schools are among the best performing and diverse schools in the state.

The cause of Michigan's charter school problem may be more of a Michigan issue than a charter school issue.

i'd be surprised if this scheme was actually successful.

its very difficult to relay signs from the dugout to the batter in the few seconds between when the sign is given and when the pitch is thrown.

base runners on second base have always been able to see the signs between pitcher and catcher and relay the information to the batter. To counter this catchers use a complex combination of signs that change inning to inning, sometimes batter to batter.
#1 complaint on every platform, for me. Sticky is very bad. Disappearing on scroll down but reappearing on scroll up is even worse. Just let the things scroll off screen, I can scroll to the top if I want to see anything on the header (spoiler alert: I won't). Old-school sticky sidebars (as in old frame layouts, for example) were totally fine on desktop, but are out of fashion now because they don't translate well to mobile.

I remove sticky elements with the dev console on anything I actually want to read that's longer than a few lines of text—though I can't do that on mobile, so it's worse there.
What Amtrak Did at Penn Station During the 'Summer of Hell'
A late fee on a utility is ALWAYS better than an overdraft or a bounced check. I see this argument so much. I can only speak from my experience, but if I was ever short, I would call the company and explain, 9 times out of 10 I would be granted an extension. I found it especially likely if I simply explained that my check had not cleared. Many times, I was not even charged a late fee. Again this is my experience, and I can't speak for everyone.
Ah I see, I'm referring to the message transaction from trainer to player.
Why would robots make a difference? Currently, you can't really live off of a plot of land alone, but you'll be living quite well if you also own a bunch of high tech machinery to farm it efficiently. For a well-off Ferrari-owning farmer, the Ferrari is likely not among the most expensive vehicles he owns, the tractors/combines/whatever cost the big bucks.

That's what the poster above meant by "the primary income sources from open spaces now requires massive amounts of capital to be competitive", and owning these robots would be the massive amount of capital; you'd be able to sustain yourself because (and if) you'd have a lot of very expensive robots, not because you just had some land; and you'd also be able to sustain yourself by just investing the value of these robots.

> The story implies that the middle-class dads were lazy because they didn't bring their children to school before going to work.

The story basically implies that the dads were acting as a cartel, probably subconsciously, where as long as all of them maintained that the burden of switching contexts from childcare concerns to work concerns was so huge that almost any amount of inconvenience for the wives was a smaller consideration.

Gates inadvertently broke the cartel and showed that even for someone with long hours and a lot of responsibility, there were at least some situations where the burden on the husband driving 2 days a week was smaller than the burden on the wife having 0 days a week without the drive.

It's possible that in fact the burden on even the busiest wife was smaller than the burden on her husband, that Bill and Melinda were a unique exception to this rule, and the wives only succeeded at gaining concessions because of a false analogy (if Gates can do it you can do it).

I don't see why you would choose to believe that though. I the alternative—there were at least a couple wives who were doing more than their fair share, and husbands benefitting from cartel effects—much easier to accept.
What would you have them do?
