But the greater narrative pushed by wired have pretty much everything to with the great battle for the future of America’s history.

It's not about Trump vs Clinton it's about yesterdays failed rebels failing to let at new generation emerge as it's own thing and that's universal for both parties, and not even confined to just America. Whatever senior house was 10 years ago it cannot be 10 years from now because the world aren’t static so maybe it had to go to give way for something new the alumni have no right or reason to expect to be a part of.

We are turning into a society of loud senior citizens and subdued youths because of the reverence today’s youth are told to have for the communities that were created by past generations despite those communities failure to tackle that many big problems head on and that’s a dangerous thing to have because it cannot lead to anything but cultural stagnation.
Not stupid at all. They UI can certainly improve, suggestions welcome :).

Of the four gospels, it is generally said that Mark was written first, and John was written last.

The earliest manuscripts of the gospel of Mark do not mention the resurrection at all.

Later manuscripts have verses tacked on, in what is nowadays called Mark 16. You can read about this online, there is several centuries worth of discussion about it.
Not sure if this is necessarily rock bottom, but:

I was running a VC-backed startup I dropped out of college to start at the same time my wife was having our first baby. She had quite a few complications, and, being a founder, we had crappy insurance. So we blew through our meager savings incredibly quickly and started racking up debt.

The company I had started came down right to the wire with cash, but I was still really confident; we had a big-name lead investor (billionaire, everyone in the industry knew him very well), who was going to send a wire any day, and millions more of investment piling on to that, so I'd be able to spend the next few years growing the company and paying off the debt.

Until one day the billionaire backed out for no particular reason, and with no warning. His assistant just called and said "We're out," wouldn't say why, that was pretty much it. When other investors found out that he was out, they scattered or turned on me. It was December 23, and I had to lay everyone off.

I went deep into personal debt to give our employees a little bit of severance and make sure all of our contractors were whole, all the while my daughter is just barely coming out of the hospital and bills keep racking up.

So I'm living in the middle of nowhere (the company was remote) with a wife and sick newborn depending on me. I'm out of a job, with no particular skill other than "being a founder," which apparently I suck at as well. All of our investors are pissed at me, and I'm seriously wondering if I would ever have a job again (one investor tells me he doubts I will ever match the $60k/yr salary I was paying myself again). Everyone except my wife told me I was stupid - for dropping out of school, for starting a company, etc. I distinctly remembering driving by a guy picking up golf balls at the golf course and thinking, "You know maybe I could do that and not mess it up." That was my first glimmer of hope in a long time.

I had written some blog posts on user acquisition that had been popular, and decided in a last-minute effort to turn them into a book. If people thought I was a ne'er-do-well before, this confirmed it, and living in a small town the rumors get back to you. At the same time I decided I wanted to get closer to money (having a bad experience with a non-revenue-generating startup), get closer to the best in startups (YC), and get to San Francisco.

I hustled until I miraculously found a job with a fantastic YC company, and finished writing the book. The book not only sold enough to get us out of debt, but to put an extra year of runway in our bank account. I then used that cash to start another company (glutton for punishment), but one that was profitable from day one this time.

Now: Just finished YC with that company, raised a few million to grow (not because we needed to), and taking another stab at it, albeit with some serious scar tissue. And my daughter just turned two and peed all over the floor because we're "potty training"
I will show my wife. She is a theatrical lighting designer. Seems like the go to for that is vector works, so an alternative would be welcome.
But the rest is accurate. You like going on those subreddits and play-acting like you're a racist or fat-shamer just for the fun of it.
India’s “robust” biometric database let millions get fake IDs
This is probably a case when the backward compatibility guarantee can be annoying to the majority.
No, that's not so much the case here. We have those types here but they're a small minority. It's true most people here are conservative and religious but they're also friendly and will go out of their way to help a stranger. I've had people pull over to offer me help when I've stopped along a rural road just to read a map or find something in my car. That's common here.
While a fully native solution from two teams would probably be better comparatively, it's also the most expensive. If you have something like react where you can share the common business logic and then drop down into native components when required to use features that haven't been exposed to react it's probably a net win. I haven't done much react native coding but it's certainly an interesting value proposition for smaller shops that can't afford to have two completely separate app development teams.

> This will reinforce their opinions, not change them for the better.

I see this argument made a lot, however I'd like to see proof that giving such people arguments can change them.

I personally don't think that's the case. It's like giving a Christian arguments that God doesn't exist.
Cruise's 3rd generation self-driving car
Final year of college. Developed a serious pot habit that was converting my "A" transcript into a "D" senior year. Student loans failed to materialize. I was living in a shit house with miserable people. Completely out of money, I searched under every cushion, every sheet of paper, in the bottom of every box, to scrape together $8 which was enough to buy a pack of cigarettes. The next day I went to the student aid office and pleaded with them for money. They gave me $500. I was able to get through the hurdles to get the student loans on track. I thought this was the end of needing help, but in truth, it was barely the beginning.

Then about 7 or 8 years of barely holding it together followed. Looking back, this is the greatest regret of my life. That at that time, in my darkest day, absolutely penniless as I walked away from the convenience store counter with nothing but consumable goods in my life, I did not at that time reach out for real help such as a 12-step recovery program.

I was lucky enough to meet a good woman with plenty of her own problems but a good woman nonetheless. We had a child together, and through that experience I came to realize how much I needed to go and get that help. I did - started going to 12-step programs and found a source of immense support and love and fellowship that sustains me to this day.

The work has only begun. But life has tremendous opportunity.
He didn't get flagged, he got downvoted.
I primarily use a declarative language called LogiQL, which is a superset of Datalog. It's basically logic programming. Using predicates and rules.

We have a proprietary database called LogicBlox, that allows us to push all business logic down to the database layer, and almost entirely avoid having a service layer, or at least a very lean one. This allows us to address efficiency problems purely by optimizing database joins between predicates (tables).

Our data is highly normalized (6NF).

Comodo doesn't have good security practices, it looks like, from my recent memory (confirmed with some google searches as well).
Apple has proved itself over the past 3 decades with everything from PCs, MP3 players, and now phones.

I could afford the later 2 devices on a sub 20k a year college restaurant jobs salary. At the time I bought both of them.

Telsa is not affordable by the majority of people with their currently available models. While a Nissan Leaf is pretty affordable especially adding in the tax break the government and my state used to offer.
I came into this world naked weighing like 7 pounds and I couldn't talk. I had to rely on my mother for feeding, protection and getting around. It was a pretty sorry state to be in.

But look at me now! I control my destiny. I manipulate my surroundings. I eat what I want and I do what I want (for the most part).

But, I'm headed at top speed back to a rock bottom, much worse than depression or drug addition or the like. I'm headed back to decomposition.

"Rock Bottom" is a matter of perspective see.
> much/most of the electricity used by EVs is generated in ways that produce carbon emissions

This is highly dependent on where you live. At the extreme, North Dakota [1] gets 75% of its electricity from coal burning. But in California, the mix is 35% Natural Gas, 25% Renewable, 10% hydro, 10% nuclear [2], so nearly half of the electricity is carbon-neutral. If huge places like California go electric, they will take other places along with them.

But even in the unlikely scenario of a primarily coal-based grid in the future, the efficiency increase that comes from the centralization of combustion at the coal plant (as opposed to in the vehicle) still results in lower well-to-wheels CO2 emissions [3].

The point of the study was to determine if it was good for Reddit, not good for the internet or society.

I think your point is not invalid, this study was simply confined to the community of Reddit.
Exactly. The same at night, I log into my World of Warcraft account, and play-act like I'm a night elf druid, because it's fun.
For what it is worth the British Army takes recruits from 16 and the legal age where you can buy alcohol in the UK is 18 - so its not that weird.
MIT doesn't have to act in loco parentis for anyone over the age of majority (18). Anyone over 18 is an adult, and making their own choices. This happens to be the baseline age for most college entrants.

I don't know what agreements are in place, if any, for younger students.
The Bible stories borrow heavily from Egyptian religious myths and beliefs regarding gods and pharaohs. Same stories, rebooted with new cast members that are more relatable. Any new diety had to demonstrate similar power supernatural abilities as a pharaoh to be legit, and the one big closing act of every pharoah is resurrection followed by deification. Same story, new cast members. Ancient story tellers also made reboots.
> they merely shifted to alternative platforms

That's not the paper's findings:

> Though many subreddits saw an influx of r/fatpeoplehate and
r/CoonTown “migrants,” those subreddits saw no significant changes in hate speech usage. In other words,
other subreddits did not inherit the problem
I would expect the mutation rates of mitochondrial and nuclear DNA to be about the same, unless the mitochondria have additional repair proteins not involved with nuclear DNA, or the shorter length of the mitochondrial chromosome affects the rates, or some other process I'm not familiar with. I think maybe parent meant to refer to diversity, not mutation. With nuclear DNA, the offspring chromosomes are made up from a combination of the parents' DNA. There's a lot of swapping and mixing and matching that takes place. This adds diversity to the population.
Good old-fashioned anti-trust enforcement would make me so happy, right now.
1.5 seconds faster than what? I compared 0-60 times between the S and the 3. The Model 3's published 0-60 is 5.1 or 5.6 seconds depending on whether you look at the base model or the long-range model.

I'm quite confident that the Model 3 drives like my Model S. Acceleration is clearly similar, zero-lag is pretty much an inherent property of the EV drivetrain, and there's no reason to suspect otherwise.
The named experiment and comparison to resurrection would also apply to Christ's resurrection.

> Instead, the costs have been steadily rising while voters have repeatedly opted not to make changes.

Have voters done that, though? I mean look at the trouble Republicans are having repealing the ACA. Voters seem to not want to repeal it. It seems like only the Republican leadership actually wants it repealed. My understanding is that when you ask individual voters of all stripes, they agree that pre-existing conditions should not stop you from getting affordable healthcare, and that lifetime limits are unfair across the board. But those are the things the Republican leadership wants to axe first.
White collar crime is normalized in the upper class. It does more economic damage and kills more people each year than street crime, and has for decades, but it is rarely and lightly punished. By any measure, it is considered 'normal' behavior in those circles. Let me guess - he's not in jail and he's doing alright now, isn't he? Doubtlessly scamming someone else now.
I actually really enjoy the layout.

I think changing the color scheme to make it a bit easier on the eyes would certainly be an improvement.
Ask HN: Should I provide salary history after an accepted offer?
I've received a written offer from a BigCo that I've accepted, and we've now proceeded to the background check stage.

They've contracted with a third party to perform a background check, and part of the employment verification step requires previous salaries and dates of employment. I have an issue with providing my salary history as I've received large increases last time I switched and this time as well (>40%), and I'm concerned they'll lower my agreed-upon salary after seeing the results of the report (as I seriously doubt it's a binary yes/no from the third-party).

Since I have not previously disclosed my salary history during the interview process, my plan is to bend the rules of allowable characters in the salary field to provide a null value and supply heavily redacted W-2s / paystubs as supporting documentation (in lieu of allowing them to contact my previous employers directly).

I'm wondering--Is this a sound plan? Would you do something different? Am I being overly-cautious with information I perceive to be confidential and irrelevant in my background check given I already have an accepted offer?
I love that you can just get stuck in calculating without having to worry about getting it all in the right order at first.

Even better if I don't have to worry about it at all. That's why I'm using a calculator in the first place, and not scribbling figures by hand on a piece of paper.
Socially messed up kid: Born to immigrant parents. Nice parents. But they'd messed up relation and health issues. Difficult to understand and express human values in life.

Gifted : slightly, was amongst top students graduated in a decent school.

Underweight : Im now 40 but resemble 25-30. Malnutrition in childhood and my own bad food habits.

Bad habits: many - at age 30 went down from 65 to 50 kilos and survived. Haven't drank or smoked for a decade. Decent workouts in a week, weighs close to 80 kilos with slightly good built and I am a cm short of 6 feet.

Shitty jobs: After graduation I took one after another shitty job with big brands. Poor kid who had little access to money while growing up - never had a car at home while growing up. So I think went wrong with money and habits. Few patents at end of age 30 though.

Unemployment: have been part of couple of mass layoffs. No salary for last year or so. Have burnt out my savings.

However I am doing alright. I had to take my food, workout, prayers, family and work seriously. I cannot thank my wife enough.

I am living a little dream now. Working on my own startup.

And I ask to myself - why didn't I try doing this work earlier ? And a little bird chirps outside my window.
How many of these botched death-penalty executions you speak of resulted in the person living and living in such a way that the authorities did not know the person was alive?
The compiler for GWT has done a lot of this for years (and it's functionality might have fed into closure). It's arguably different because it compiles from Java to Javascript as a first pass. It then does a lot of full-program optimization, including dead code elimination, lifting virtual method calls to static, inlining, reordering code to compress better, and analyzing the call graph to split code. (You have to be explicit about the split points in the Java code, so the analysis is mainly for doing the code splitting and for coalescing components that are are small or would force a lot of code into the common segment.)

I believe GWT is moving on to closure for the latter optimization passes in future releases.
Global shockwaves from electric cars will be here sooner rather than later
As someone who had some amateur experience with C++ roughly 10 years ago I felt it was sort of deja vu with JavaScript. Transpilers, aggressive optimization, automation scripts it's nothing that was too unfamiliar with me.

Webpack is roughly a library linker. Babel is like GCC Make. Gruntfile ~= makefile. I think it's coming of age but the JS ecosystem is still undergoing growing pains, plus it can be overwhelming to newbies. People are paralyzed by too much choice. Having IDEs like Webstorm would be good at least taming or organizing workflow better.
"Excessive" abstraction is a misnomer. I can practically guarantee you that whatever level of abstraction we're working at today, we'll be working several layers deeper ten years from now. Arguing that, e.g., generics are "excessive" abstraction when we're already dozens of layers away from manipulating transistor voltages is bordering on the absurd.

The issue people should be fighting against isn't excessive abstraction, since the only way to do so is to counterproductively inhibit abstraction in the general sense. We as an industry should focus on how to develop good abstractions while avoiding bad ones.

Not that I have any particular insights on how to approach that problem. I'm just convinced that avoiding abstractions at all is throwing the baby, bathtub, and entire bathroom out with the bathwater.
The value of PWAs with service worker support is that redownloads don't happen. That's also how they can have offline support (on Android at least, safari currently has a lest robust caching story)
That's the accepted theory for sure. It's what every CS student learns.

But never say never. "Reality/logic/math" can be a lot stranger than you think.

There used to be a time when we thought that infinity ( aka countable infinity ) was the largest number. Turns how there are bigger infinities.

And of course quantum mechanics. The duality of light ( both a wave and a particle ).
Moving individual people is insanely inefficient compared to moving large numbers of them. It would completely immobilize roads used for daily commuting, and it would take much much longer, not to mention it would take so many cars as to require massive investment in additional vehicles. I mentioned it as a sort of unlikely worst case scenario; buses will stay in some form or another for the forseeable future. They just won't get any better.
Wow - a single footnote? I've had researchers ask for named authorship for access to less.

They could have at least thrown it into the references, although I doubt citation count would matter in this case.
>They've pushed battery technology further than any other manufacturer in the last decade.

Not really. They've done a lot to bring down costs by simply increasing the scale, but at the end of the day Tesla battery packs are just a bunch of standard 18650 cells that have been used for years. Panasonic, LG, and AESC are responsible for most of the advances in the actual chemistry.
It's funny how $100k of pro-Trump facebook ads by a foreign entity is a crime against humanity.

But like Obama actively campaigning for politicians in other countries [0] or the US getting involved in god knows how many other elections is like totally... meh.

Alcohol in BC is expensive because it is heavily taxed at every step, from production to distribution. BCL is not the cause of that problem. (As a cursory glance at the prices in non-BCL stores will confirm.)
South Carolina Couple Sues Amazon Over Faulty Eclipse Glasses
I think that there's a cohort of people (mostly teenagers and early 20s?) who won't actively seek out hate based sites, but if they're available might check them out, especially if it's not just direct hate, but focused on jokes at <group that is easy to attack>'s expense. At first for fun, but eventually it normalizes the behavior for them, and a small percent get radicalized for real.

The alt-right/theDonald overlap with hate movements is a great example of this. What percent of those Charlottesville marchers and their supporters started doing it just for the memes, or just to light up smarmy internet liberals?

In that sense, removing the most radical groups from a giant forum like Reddit off to silos like stormfront can have a net positive effect.
