It is still linear as far as I know. And the linearity is quite good, within a few percent. There is a community of astrophotographers interested in making photometric measurements with DSLRs (American Association of Variable Star Observers). I think the harder part of the problem is getting a standard candle for calibration of your DSLR DN values to actual SI quantities.

This - I think this also extends to the conversations people have 'on' facebook - even with friends. You end up liking or saying 'cool' to a post, but you don't really have any real interaction. Since I've left facebook (nearly 9 months sober) I've probably talked with fewer friends, but those friends I have spoken to, I've spoken to on a far deeper level. and many of them I now actually _speak_ to more often.

Uninstalling messenger was hard at first, as some people I don't have a number for or they aren't on Whatsapp, but you either find other ways to keep in touch, or you realise that you were actually just on the periphery of each others lives, and liking that they got a new car or similar didn't actually have a positive impact on each others lives. And when you do meet again, you'll have a bunch to talk about.

I've debated making a 'fake' account for facebook groups (esp local sales groups, which seem far better served on fb in my area) but so far I've come the the conclusion that I don't really need to buy more crap from strangers - I have enough of my own already.
Why doesn't having the resources cached provide a buffer against short-term outages of the CDN?
> And my person view is that all jobs should be compensated at the same hourly rate. But is there anything special about teachers?

Some nations tried that idea last century. It lead to war, famine and 100 million deaths. Aiming for utopia is a noble idea, but the results have been horrific thus far.

When a CDN goes down, that is the time to use local backups. The best policy I've seen is using 3rd party CDNs for scripts like jQuery, ie. common, unchanging resources, yet with subresource integrity checks [0] to make sure it's actually what you are asking for (in case the site somehow gets compromised or returns an error). On top of that to cover for failure, you have a fallback locally hosted copy which is loaded only if the CDN version fails.

10 minutes is a high bout duration for sedentarism? Wow. Where did they find the group with low bout duration then? That would mean having meals standing up, not driving or commuting 10 minutes or more, not watching even a 20-minute TV program, etc.

I believe the criticism here is about index.js, which is what all the other claims are about.

var bytes = random(size)
for (var i = 0; i < size; i++) {
id += url[bytes[i] & 63]
}

This part of the code just uses an alphabet size of 64, which makes the approach actually used in the exported function identical to modding the byte by the alphabet size.

A lot of information is coded in just the numeric part of a street address. Even or odd tells you which side of the street it is on, you can tell where an address is relative to other addresses on the street, and there's usually a sign on the building that you can match with the address you have to make sure you're at the right place.

Three random words have none of these properties.

This is one of the biggest problems with trying to evaluate individual teacher performance (and reward / punish based on this evaluation), is that you need to watch out for incentives.

Rewarding teachers who have best highest test scores, for example, is a pretty good way of disincentivizing good teachers from helping less gifted children.

Sales people work their comp plan, especially if they're good. They tend to know what they're making and what the market pays.

They tend to leave for one of 3 reasons.
1: Product isn't competitive anymore
2: Comp plan has changed
3: Company is failing / run out of funding / has pivoted and fired their entire sales team.

The very very rough conversion for normal 1099 contracting is adding the K's worth of zeros to the hourly rate, eg. $85/hr ~= $85K salary.

Apparently with a W2 this number is net whatever the agency skims while covering some things; not sure how that stacks up.
I'd suggest every hour is a good stop gap. Take 5 minutes. Drink water. Walk, squat and stretch your hips. A nice deep squat, hold it for a minute. It is amazing how much stiffness this alleviates from sitting. Hip flexors get tight after about 15 minutes. It is one of the reasons desk warriors have so much trouble with IT band if they are also recreational runners. Tight-ass hips.

I really despise smart watches, I turn off blue tooth and everything, but the Fenix 3/5 is my companion in my fitness journey. I follow the move indicator. When my watch buzzes, I move for 5 minutes in a way I just described and drink some water. It is annoying, but if you make it meditative and keep your task at hand in mind I have found, with practice, and this being something you always do, it does not disrupt flow state. Flow isn't like meditation, you can literally do this right in front of your monitor and keep thinking about your code or deep work task while you do it.

"Companies and their investors are going to look for ways to prevent these issues from happening. Part of the solution will rest on coaching, monitoring and policing (perhaps through employee empowerment etc) the "aggressive" people (mostly men) in the workplace."

This is called "piercing the corporate veil" and will not only get you in trouble with the IRS but will also mean if you're ever sued you won't get any of the normal protections to your personal assets that you would expect from doing business as a corporation.
2. A library like jQuery is so popular, and is so often served from googles CDN, that chances are a user already has it in their local cache from when they downloaded it on some other site.

Which of these versions do you have cached?

3.2.1, 3.2.0, 3.1.1, 3.1.0, 3.0.0, 2.2.4, 2.2.3, 2.2.2, 2.2.1, 2.2.0, 2.1.4, 2.1.3, 2.1.1, 2.1.0, 2.0.3, 2.0.2, 2.0.1, 2.0.0, 1.12.4, 1.12.3, 1.12.2, 1.12.1, 1.12.0, 1.11.3, 1.11.2, 1.11.1, 1.11.0, 1.10.2, 1.10.1, 1.10.0, 1.9.1, 1.9.0, 1.8.3, 1.8.2, 1.8.1, 1.8.0, 1.7.2, 1.7.1, 1.7.0, 1.6.4, 1.6.3, 1.6.2, 1.6.1, 1.6.0, 1.5.2, 1.5.1, 1.5.0, 1.4.4, 1.4.3, 1.4.2, 1.4.1, 1.4.0, 1.3.2, 1.3.1, 1.3.0, 1.2.6, 1.2.3
I think its strange that there isn't more discussion about the impact on the photographer and the consequences this lawsuit has had on his life, he is pretty much broke and it seems to have destroyed his career not to mention put him and his family through what I would imagine to be pretty harsh emotional distress over the last couple of years.

This article: https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2017/jul/12/monkey-s... basically says a couple of months ago he was broke, couldn't afford to replace his equipment or pay his attorney. I hope this result will change his situation but even so this is a huge impact on someone over an issue that realistically is fairly niche.

Questions like this are important to be answered, but surely there should also be discussion about was there a better way to do this than ruining someones life over a picture that could never have existed without his direct intervention and creation of the circumstances needed for the monkey to come into contact with the camera.
Then why are these sites down?
Would those resource checks been done at the client or sever? For example the sever pings the CDN at a set interval and if it's down the sites code is modified to included links to local copies.

Or would you do something in the browser to fetch the local one in case of failure?

That's not true for everyone. I worked for an agency that did e-commerce integrations and developments and we had eyes on the client's budget and profits along with our agency's. We were not paid on commission either despite knowing the exact value of our work.

To be honest, being so close to the money was demoralizing. It skews perspectives (or should I say it enlighten you?). Hard to stay motivated working for xx.xx/h salary salary when you know very well that you create yyyyyy.yy$/day in value.

I clicked on this, hoping it was about some college far away. Nope. :( 10 minutes down the road...

I attend a highly conservative university nearby. There is a degree of thought policing that already occurs, and I'm not sure how I feel about it. For example, "behavior that challenges University expectations" -- what does that even mean?

I was afraid for my safety and emotional health all throughout public schooling. Bullying, etc, was real, but I don't blame the school for making me "feel unsafe" in that environment -- I blame the bullies directly. There will always be people who feel unsafe, uncomfortable, etc, in social settings. But that's not necessarily the fault of the other people. They might not, in fact, be doing anything immoral. It could just be one's own insecurities or internal struggles -- that are very real -- that cause one's feelings of anxiety. But to make this the fault of people around them is frightening to me.

(Edit: After reading the whole document, most of it seems perfectly reasonable to report violence, threats, etc, and to expect professional behavior all around. But I think it's the part that talks about or strongly suggests catering to people's feelings, and enforcing that with authority, that bothers me.)
Thanks for clarifying the charge levels.

I do, however disagree on the refuel experience mainly because while it is true, that you can constantly refuel your car while it is parked at home, the long distance driving use case is exactly where electric recharging is least developed. I think that there is a certain level of comfort knowing that, in the US at least there are only a handful of places in the country where a stretch > 20 miles exists without the ability to refuel. For the most part I think most people active on HN are many times more willing to switch to electric cars. The average person on the street may not be so willing.
At the higher end of the market (i.e you can get hired at the majors in a senior role or equivalent at a smaller company), I generally see three types of people:

I see people that truly understand their market value, have data backing it up, they are professional (I always tell people how I appreciate the time / offer, and I'm polite to recruiters), demanding about information (I have little tolerance for ambiguity in compensation, define everything, this is how I pay the mortgage and save for retirement / my kids college).

Some managers think that is spoiled (not that you are necessarily saying that), but this is a business transaction, I ask for market and turn it down if it's not that, or if the compensation is ambiguous.

Then I see those that don't know their value and just sort of take whatever because they don't like interviewing / negotiating. I don't see many of those at the high end.

The third group are who you are talking about, total babies. They complain about recruiters, or how much everyone wants them, place crazy demands on companies (I worked with a guy who literally had a rider like Van Halen in his LinkedIn profile, he ended up being a total prima donna who got fired because everyone hated him). Most people in this third group think they are in the first, and they aren't worth recruiting, even if they are strong technically.

Sometimes people believe this means startups / small companies can't compete, but the issue is, startups / small companies really aren't offering any sort of market comp, they don't give enough equity to employees to make the risk worth your while. You don't necessarily need to pay me what AmaGoogFaceSoft do, but you need to give me a significant chunk of equity and give me enough visibility into how that is cut up (preferences etc.) in the company for me to value it, otherwise its worth 0, even if I believe that the company will be successful. If you can't trust me enough with that sort of transparency, then it's not gonna work out. With a huge public company, I know what my stock is worth roughly.
The truth as a matter of fact is quite a different matter than the
process of coming to know the truth. I do not know what an "extreme"
is with respect to the truth as a matter of fact, but where belief
about what is true is concerned, this can mean, e.g., to hold as true
an error that reduces reality in some way. Given that, it may be that,
in retrospect, a person who has swung through extreme positions on
some particular point has gained a certain depth of understanding and
perspective, discovering the strengths and weaknesses of these
positions over time. He may find himself facing aporia that he is
unable to resolve (which is what Lonsdale seems to have in mind when
he says we should be able to handle cognitive dissonance). However,
the holding of extreme positions, i.e., errors, is not the end goal
even if the end goal is not practically attainable. It is at best an
intermediate state. If there is some truth to each position, it is not
because reality is composed of contradictions (which is Hegelian), but
because each position contains a kernel of truth that is exaggerated,
misattributed, etc. The hard word of extracting, verifying and
reconciling these kernels of truth lies ahead.

Second, that "oppositions" in organizations can produce good results
is really a matter of practical prudence following on the recognition
that each of us may have different strengths and weaknesses, that each
of us has a limited perspective or perspectives on reality and that
because of our character flaws, we may take things to extremes. So, to
draw on Lonsdale's example, let's say we have a bureaucrat driven by
an excess fear and desire to eliminate risk and an entrepreneur who is
wreckless, rash and impulsive. When both kinds of person are pitted
against each other at parity, the ensuing conflict can have a
moderating effect on average. It's hardly a perfect situation, of
course. The perfect man would be one in whom these two extremes of
excess caution and wrecklessness are not merely "averaged" into some
arbitrary and bland compromise via some "mechanical or thoughtless
procedure". Rather, "finding the mean in any given situation [...]
requires a full and detailed acquaintance with the circumstances"
[0]. It requires the comprehension of the good and how the
bureaucratic and entrepreneurial can best contribute to it in the
given situation and acting in comformity with this comprehension. This
virtue is called courage.

Not only that but Facebook and Google collect personal data voluntarily, to some extent. Equifax leaked THE personal identifier used in the U.S which affects a persons livelihood.

I'm not worried out Facebook getting hacked and someone getting 10 years worth of photos, shopping data, or browsing history. Even credit cards have better protection than what Equifax has for SSNs.

And again, the consumers who shoulder the burden of this catastrophic data breech had absolutely no say in who brokered the SSNs.

I think I am on the side of Warren Buffet and agree that investment tax rates does not much effect how eager people are to invest. I mean, what else are the rich going to do with their money? If they think, "These tax rates on investments are too high. I'm not going to invest. I'm just going to spend it on yachts, hookers, blow, and black-jack.", then soon they will run out of money and have to start earning it again. Most investors like making successful investments and growing their wealth. What the capital gains tax rate is is not going to change that. Maybe they would not switch investments as much. That might be a good thing.

Maybe a better argument would be that successful investors use of money is better for everyone in society in the long run and that having lower taxes on earned income would just let more money be spent on "useless" things: longer vacations or fancy lattes.
I don't see it. It's not even the same plate. You'd need the North American Plate to distort from Houston (definitely happened, but as you said, 2 cm). You'd need that to make the edges of the North American Plate move (maybe, but how much?). You'd need that to shove on the edge of the Cocos Plate in a way that adds to the stress in the center of the plate rather than on the edge.

I'm not a geologist, but as I said, I don't see it.
Exercise didn't help me with my occasional back issues, but switching to a standing desk really did. I didn't get one of those adjustable ones, because $400 for a desk that raises and lowers was silly--instead I just got a draft-height chair and stand and sit as appropriate.
I know I have slammed into transparent surfaces because I couldn't see them.

It probably gets worse the higher you go, because there is less grassy people adding marks to them, and less "people are hitting this too much, we'd better reduce that glass size". Birds are famous for getting them wrong.

Yep. So many WTFs. You could lock an account (and associated IMAP connector) just by paging in the web UI too fast, with users that like to page vs search to find a message this was quite a problem as they could no longer get messages via UI or their phone. When they explained this 3 days later (typical response time) I nearly fell off my chair, this was after six unanswered voicemails and a few emails (paying customer of 9 accounts I think ~ $90/m)
You don't have your social security number and loans on your Facebook profile (or maybe you do). However whatever you put on Facebook was your choice. Nobody "posts" to Equifax.

Yes, with a power-of-two alphabet length there's no bias. The poster seems to be confused about modulo bias claims, which apply to non-power-of-two alphabets, not a particular way of calculating modulus.
Just running and lifting before or after work doesn't necessarily solve the problem though. I was talking to my doctor about it, and she said it was equally if not more important to take regular breaks during work to walk around, "look at something far away" (computer job), etc.
For most people, the right hand is the one you write with.

For left-handed people, it's a bit more complicated.
Other studies indicate standing all day isn't good either. You really need a combination of stand sit. I actually think ideal based on what I have read is going to end up being some sort of very slow walk. Static positions cause edema and clotting, period. The longer you hold a static position the worse it is. It can damage muscles due to reduced blood flow and the awkward stretching of muscles and connective tissue.

I don't do this myself, but I think folks that can manage to slow walk at a tread desk are going to be the best and gaining back those years static positions shave.

Yes, standing causes people to move around more, but I actually find standing dramatically more tiring than tread-desking when I have tried it. I prefer sitting and regular movement from the sitting position, tread desking, and finally standing desks.

Personally, standing is also just not comfortable. I have run 50 mile races, and lift heavy things regularly for many years, so I have the physical conditioning for it... I just find it is the most draining way to work. It feels much harder on my body than walking all day or sitting and moving around at regular intervals.
I think that is the ethical thing to do, yes.

Differential privacy does statistically disclose information about you, and whether the quantitative bound used is up to your standards is a decision you should make before it happens. Given that user-level understanding of DP is so low, I don't think defaulting people in to levels chosen by others is a good idea. I 100% guarantee Mozilla doesn't have the background to make this choice responsibly, and doesn't have near the DP expertise the RAPPOR team has / had (who I also wouldn't trust to chose things for me).

Ideally, the use of differential privacy would make you more willing to opt in (when you have a choice) rather than being a smokescreen for organizations that simply want to harvest more data (which was Mozilla's stated motivation).

Edit: fwiw, there are some cool "recent" versions of differential privacy that let the users control the amount of privacy loss on a user-by-user basis. So, you could start at 0 and dial it up as you feel more comfortable with the tech. This incentivizes organizations to be more transparent with what they do, as it (in principle) increases turnout.

Edit2: For context, Apple's "default" values appear to be (from this paper) epsilon = 16 * days. That means that each day you are active, the posterior probability someone has about any fact about you can increase by a factor of exp(16) ~= 88 million. So, numbers matter and I am (i) glad Apple made it opt-in, (ii) super disappointed they aren't at all transparent about how it works, and (iii) thankful that the paper authors are doing this work.

As an actual answer, it would be variable proportional to the size of the window between releases mentioned here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JQuery#Release_history

I'm sure a fair amount of people serve jQuery from a local storage. The usefulness that the user might already have it cached is a non-zero point, no matter how insignificant you may think it is.
