Looks nice and could be useful! But I can't even look at what your title says without being forced to sign up.
The study mentions the 1% similarity, which is the genetic equivalent of fourth cousins. That's fine, but isn't there a heavy correlation between DNA origin and geography, and another correlation between friendship and geography??
I can't filter by educational background unless I sign up. Sorry – your preview data hasn't sold me on your site's value.
I think you misunderstood what I meant by non-responsive. 10ms latency from click to action is nowhere near as noticeable as 10ms latency when dragging, because the mouse visibly lags behind.
Wow, I never realised VeriSign was a Symantec brand.

I'm not sure what it says that Google doesn't trust the company that operates the registry for .com
I think how you attribute the surprise matters. The order of discoveries brought forth a conventional story that stood for a seemingly long time. Now that story may need to be re-examined.

There is a difference between the discovery & subsequent scientific reports and the story drawn from them. The story is less accurate, tends to be more romantic and gets the widest exposure. Even the scientists subscribe to one version or another because they are human. The likely change in the common story is the source of the surprise and excitement.

This process guarantees that there will always be a surprise,
and roughly speaking it will be directly proportional to how long the story has been in place and inversely proportional to the number of such competing stories.
No, it's how much you can make at a given company. Unless you signup, which is a kind of bait and switch.

Just make how much you can make from a given school public and that might get me to signup, as it is (with the bait and switch) now I'm just mad.

I made this website free: https://easy-a.net/

It's free until a user reaches a limited number of searches, or if they want additional graphs. However, the base info is free (or at worse they have to refresh the page); that seems to keep people from getting too irritated. This is the one pitfall of freemium services, you have to make the main interesting portion(s) free, but keep the most useful portions opaque until they pay.

Given the title, that's frustrating me.
so he's free to decline , given how he hasn't committed a crime?
The paradox of tolerance isn't false, and doesn't make the claims you're saying are false. I think you're conflating the person who responded to me in support of antifa and tolerating vs not tolerating. There are many ways to be intollerant, and violence does not have to be one of those ways. I won't have the discussion around the effectiveness of violence in changing discourse as I am non-violent so it is not my place.
If an electronics retailer could do this at no additional cost, I have no doubt that they would.

I hadn't seen it before, and HN wouldn't have let you submit it if the link had been posted too much recently. So thanks for sharing! :-D
There's also the question of spending resources on mitigation instead of response.

Try to direct development to less vulnerable areas, require flood control planning ahead of building construction, stuff like that.
I've used Emacs' htmlize to good effect in the past.
Haha! Love it! This is precisely how enterprise software is developed and if you look at the way our industry has trained its managers, I can't think of any reason why the people that make decisions about these things can be convinced to do anything differently. I mean, if you can build buggy software for a Point of Service system this way, surely you can do the same thing with self driving cars! It's just software! How hard can it be?
Just because people know how to write for a blog doesn't mean they know how to scale a web server.

>"It is interesting to note this is because people in the US have much less disposable income than people in other developed countries"

I am curious did you just make this up? This is a completely bogus statement. The US is actually amongst highest per capita disposable income countries. See:

Music Festivals use this same concept. By having pricing tiers for tickets you can have more "sold out" events, as they happen at each stage, driving interest.

It works, and it is REAL unlike the javascript you see here, but it is still stupid.

Can you imagine going to a Donut shop in the morning that had just sold 10% of its daily inventory and them putting up a SOLD OUT sign for Tier 1 Early Bird donuts?

I hope one day marketers find a better solution for generating interest in their products.
Keep in mind that power outages in Houston were pretty rare and localized. Cell phone towers had power and the vast majority of homes had power (even a lot of the ones that were flooded, before it was explicitly cut off to flooded areas).

There were just a _lot_ of stranded people and not enough boats.
A solid point. Our mitigation is that it's a pop-up VW with a canvas tent and screen windows, and curtains on the glass windows. Even in the 90s parked in direct sun it'll stay cool enough to take a nap. It'll be a sweaty nap, but no one's going to die. And the design I linked to has four fans.

But now you've got me thinking about some WiFi or LTE module that monitors continuity or voltage, build a companion phone app that gets pinged when $SOMETHING goes wrong. :-) (Our use case is bluegrass festival->leave dogs in camper to see show, so we're never very far away.)
This is some pretty outstanding insight. I work with middle school kids to get them excited about computers and programming and it's amazing how many of the ones that "get it" are not the ones you would pick. Frankly, I think they are surprised at how much they like it and you can almost see the light bulb go on. If we could reach those type of people and get them to interview it would almost certainly change the industry for the better.
Sciter uses H/W accelerated graphics, on Windows for example it uses Direct2D/DirectX. And Yue uses GDI+ that is pure CPU based rasterization.

With modern high-DPI monitors, when number of pixels is 4...9 times larger than on old 96ppi monitors, non-GPU rendering is not an option anymore.
I'd keep in mind that the causality might be the other direction - it might not be relative poverty causing those things, it might be those things causing relative poverty.
That's what you think. ;-)
If you can't trust your nephew to give you honest answers to your questions and discussions, how can you trust him to utilize your gift to its fullest extent? Or at least come out of it in a good way?

I was dirt poor, and similarly had a family member help with my college when, even after a full tuition scholarship and some government grants there was still a lot of bills left to pay. It wasn't a large sum that he paid, but he never grilled me about my status. His position on it was "You are a smart kid and you've earned this opportunity"

Meanwhile, years earlier my sister squandered large amounts of money partying at a supremely expensive private school. We couldn't exactly afford it in the first place, and attempting to exert influence over long distances caused huge amounts of stress on our family.

Do be careful. To some people, the worry of disappointing or angering the one funding the opportunity can be overwhelming. Having positive and supportive, yet frank discussions with your nephew would really help him, especially if/when he fails. But being overbearing could in fact make his college experience less positive and beneficial.

Hope I wasn't too condescending with my overly long rant
Pushing TLS on all sites is only possible with free certificates. LE is essential. Nevertheless, never say "never".
Show me a couple examples where Tesla has invented something new or become the market leader without outside help. Meaning if you say home battery market I'd argue Panasonic is the leader.
It's a 2D monochromatic PNG of the chemical drawing. The body's style links to the background image URL like 'https://www.avogadr.io/api/name/1440/900/38ce5d/caffeine' or 'https://www.avogadr.io/api/name/1440/900/38ce5d/LSD'.

Does making a chemical drawing usually take that much time?
Yes, because Nazis and murderers are the last group of people that deserve an open platform.
Yes, there are massive investments from many companies in expanding the battery production industry.

Gigafactory 1, in Reno, is a $5B capital investment that aims to produce 50GWh of batteries in 2018, and if they get $100/kWh in 2018, far lower than current prices, then yearly revenue is the same as the cost of Gigafactory 1.

So there's tons of room to grow lithium ion manufacturing capacity. That's only one part of the supply chain though... Looking just at lithium, there seems to be somewhat ample supply for the next few years from proven reserves, so I'm sure there are plenty of people scaling up for production from new sites.
Almost ironic really, since git was created for development of the [Linux Kernel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Git).
I do a similar thing for Chrome. It's not so much the missing minor feature, as much as the way the dev/mgmt team works. If Safari refuses to have favicons, then they might think another important thing for you is not important for them. For me, I refuse to use Chrome because they don't want to put an option or allow extensions to remove the X button on the tabs. It's silly, I know. But I want it because I press it accidentally every now and then. I might be missing out on other features etc they have, but I want this small think that they don't want to have.
It's about the principal. For me, and for many others, each with their own requirements.
Some goes to a joint checking account GF and I use for rent/groceries/etc. Some goes to a buffer savings account in the bank (for unexpected crap), some goes to Walthfront for longterm savings/investing, some pays off credit card (used for all daytoday expenses due to points), some pays for some debt I got myself into by being bad at taxes, and then a small buffer is left for any fuckups.
> How many colleges are out there like Wheaton (?) or Hillsdale. Is the ration less than 1000:1?

Yes. In fact, I even said so in the post you're replying to. In the very next paragraph, I state that "nearly all universities" are extremely welcoming of free speech.

In other words, most places are great, and the vast majority of places that aren't great wrt free speech are cloisters of conservative christiandom, not liberal utopias.

My point is, if you go through each universities and evaluate its attitude toward controversial speech acts on a case-by-case basis, you'd be hard pressed to make the argument that the data set, in aggregate, supports the "liberal censorship on college campuses" narrative.

In other words, the only way to reach this conclusion is by living in a filter bubble where you a) ignore the vast majority of circumstances where universities -- especially non-public universities -- welcome controversial speech; and also b) ignore the fact that the most obvious examples of educational institutions which do not welcome controversial speech are all staunchly conservative.

Stop and think for a second. How many actual concrete examples of censorship on college campuses can you think of? 10? 20? 100? There are literally millions of political speeches and politically charged courses every semester on college campuses.

Taking millions of data points and filtering out 10 or 100 of them, and then generating a perpetual outrage machine out of your teeny tiny artisinally crafted sample set, is the definition of a delusional filter bubble.

> Restrictions on speech at Hillsdale don't come from rules against "hate speech"

1. Why in god's name does it matter what you call it? A restriction on speech is a restriction on speech. Either you value free speech or you don't.

2. Here's one plausible definition of hate speech: "behavior that -- on the part of individuals or student organizations -- violates the bounds of common decency and civility... or that disrupts the climate of academic reflection and discourse proper to serious study."

Guess which college categorizes this behavior as a valid reason for expulsion.
Nice story. So many great ones in this thread, just the boost I needed today.
Considering that literally anyone who gets even local access to any server at all, or can spoof one - even servers that have never used LetsEncrypt before - can generate new valid LetsEncrypt certificates, and nothing generated has a password on it, I don't know if I would consider them trustworthy.

If you want to passively monitor encrypted traffic on a massive scale and not get caught (other than via their log - and who is reading that to see if every server they have has been issued a cert unnecessarily, anyway?), LetsEncrypt is awesome. It's plausible to do this without LetsEncrypt, but they made it a lot easier.
I'm at a loss here, why do people need images of syntax-highlighted code? Text inside images cannot be easily copied.
Do all these new wallet players allow paying between each other? so if you split a bill, one can have Venmo and one can have some other app/service/wallet?
Isn't 'removing existing trust' the same as 'distrust'? The word 'distrust' in no way implies that you have NEVER trusted them.
Seems like the issue you're describing is more about repeated "overcharging", so it would seem that it'd be perfectly acceptable to allow the user to override it when they deem it necessary. However, as the article states, users can permanently unlock the extra charge for $5000, so I doubt your concerns are why the limit is in place.
> And then we became human and started not acting like lobsters.

Thank you for saying this.

As history has shown, it's only too easy to take a scientific research paper and draw some godawful conclusions from it.

We can - and must - do better.
That's precisely what I did with Stylish, I pickup a nice dark theme and the UX is awesome now
Just so everyone knows, to actually compare your school you need to provide a lot of information (more than just signing up). It requires info about your degree and two of the following: work experience, offers received, test scores, and extracurriculars. You an also upload your resume to get by that info.

It seems like after you enter that info it gives you info about the companies that people work for that graduated from your school. Not really that interesting as far as I can tell, and nothing that's particularly related to people who actually graduated from your school as far as I can tell. All the sample sizes were very small (between 1 and 5).

And even beyond that, if you want more info you need to pay.

No thanks.
Why not? People invent all kinds of stories. That type of story doesn't even take much imagination. Telling people that they are deficient in some intangible way and that you have the only cure is a very common way to con people.

> and pulling up the list of function names and args is a huge pain if you have to browse through it every single time to find the one function that meets your specific transform

Not a problem in Haskell and Idris, at least. With the :search REPL command it will give you all the functions that match the signature you give it as an argument.

And really, you can have "longer functions" in any functional language, and they're used all the time: let..in...where, piping transforms (with the |> pipe operator or the . function composition), and of course, the do-notation which resembles imperative programming while being just syntax sugar for nested monadic operations.
It's crazy to me what amounts to most UI's -- basically forms and buttons, lists of things, images, pages have become so complex.

It's like I've died and woken up in a strange, bizarre world where the laws of physics are different, but I still inhabit the same world.

Does anyone else feel this way? Is this just how technology works?
I want to thank the Chrome people that continued to investigate the initial issues with Symantec certificates rather than just take their word for it that it was a honest one-time mistake. I imagine there has been a lot of tension between Google and Symantec over the past year because of this, so it must not have been easy to keep poking at Symantec. After all, Symantec almost was one of the "too big too fail" CAs. Almost.

The fact that you can't discern between justifying racism and pointing out that racism comes from deep seated biological impulses is pretty scary
Oh I agree. I'd still love to see it happen in at least an experimental form. It sounds so ideal if everything works out (especially making automated systems far easier for automatic harvesting).
This was legal in Ireland until very recently with Church-run schools (for teaching staff only). Though with some restrictions; notably, a gay woman who was a teacher was passed over for promotion to principal because she was gay; when investigated, the school's defense was that she was gay. They lost; the view was taken that while they could have refused to employ her for that reason they couldn't otherwise discriminate against her.

Fortunately, the law was changed in 2015; church-run schools can no longer discriminate on 'ethos' in employment. Incidentally, this wasn't just the Catholic Church; any religious organisation who ran a school got to discriminate until then.

Also friendship and family are tied together. I would think they controlled for these things? I did not read the paper.
Those cases are well covered by netbsd, which runs well even on some Amiga 1200 with an 68030 accelerator board I've got.

I've tested recent Minix3 release candidates. Software compatibility is starting to get there, as unlike previous versions, a good portion of pkgsrc builds and runs, including X11 software.

However, hardware support is not very good even on x86. It boots fine, X11 can be used well with VESA drivers and most popular NICs do work, but USB is missing, which means keyboard/mouse needs to be attached to PS2 ports. As I understand it, there's USB support, but only for the beaglebone board. I know there's an effort to make it work on x86 too, but it won't be in this release.

The main hardship Minix3 is currently experience is that they've been releasing RCs for 3.4 since early last year, and the actual 3.4 is still not out. A lot of work has been done which won't be on 3.4, and the delays on this release are effectively delaying everything else. They need to focus their efforts on closing the blockers, release, and move to some more frequent release schedule, such as strictly time-based; if a feature isn't ready, then it gets delayed to the next release, but releases do need to keep happening.

There's a Minixcon soon; I'm hoping it triggers some progress to happen. The project is this close to the important landmark which is being somewhat usable as a workstation. After that, both press and development would pick up considerably.
Just so I'm understanding the implications of this correctly, my company uses certs issued by Thawte. Would these certs be affected by this move?
Pretty much this. Once you get to the point that interviews are fun, you look forward to them.
I read the whole blog post, but not sure what's the difference between this car and the Tesla with 2.5 Autopilot hardware. Isn't that a production ready car that will give you autonomous L4/L5 "some day" ? Or is there some fundamental difference that I am missing out on ?

I would say it is an absolute necessity. Charge controllers have a tendency to fail resulting in a dead short (connecting + to - on the battery, resulting in a fire, explosion or something in between).

I had this happen on a properly wired off-grid system (bad diode) and it would have been quite bad had it not had a breaker of the appropriate size. I would not sleep next to a battery that wasn't fused or breakered.

Reminder: DC systems and AC systems require differently rated components. You cannot just go buy a 30A breaker from home depot for the DC side of your system. It takes a lot more to disconnect DC than it does in AC (because AC cycles to 0V 60x/s it doesn't take much of a gap/insulator to break a connection, DC is not the same. Trying to use a light-switch for a DC light can result in problems [1].

I've had good luck with midnite products (charge controllers and breakers, etc) [2]

"Sexual Orientation and Hormonal Composition" is a whole field of research on its own. Sexual Identity and Portraits we scraped off a dating site is too tenuous a leap for me to appreciate as any sort of "data" for serious science. If they had taken 5000 people, asked them to self-identify, and took a blood sample and measured various hormones, that would be a lot more satisfying.

Yes, I am emotionally bothered by this whole enterprise, because sexual orientation is not something you can understand through portraits, and this study makes the claim that 7/10 times a computer can do it. That's not the case.

Let's say there's a 50% chance that hormonal/chemical composition and sexual orientation are related, and let's say there's a 50% chance that hormonal composition affects facial features. That means that for the both of them to work out we have a 25% chance they are correlated. That's a pretty generous estimate, given that there is no data supporting the second half of that equation where "hormonal composition affects facial composition" as far as I'm aware.

The best we are doing with this dataset is inferring hormonal composition from what someone put down as their sexual preference. Or am I missing a large piece of the puzzle?
Last I checked Zelle didn't allow you to link to a credit card. Is this still the case?
1) To improve your skills. Buy a subscription to an online training library. I like safari books online for this. They have videos and books and 'learning paths'. There's a monthly plan option.

2) To do a targeted job search. Borrow from the library or buy the book: what color is your parachute. This will help with your job/contract search. The odds of getting a job with just sending out a resume is ~2%. This book teaches you how to figure out what your strengths are and how to do a targeted job search.

3) Start going to Meetup groups to network with people in your chosen field. Let people know what you can do, and build a network of people who can open doors to jobs/opportunities for you... this is a long term endeavor. Better yet, present at these meetup groups... to be seen as an expert/skilled person.

You don't need to spend much $, to do this.
