I actually read it right before writing that comment above! It was the primary motivating factor for me providing some examples of how I've noticed that femininity can be negative in regards to tech.

That all being said, I don't knock anyone as an individual for liking what they like. I also recognize that there are reasons for the disparity of women in tech other than gender role conformity due to socialization. It's just one I think deserves more credit than it gets.

If you find a model number that you like, do a web search for "modo model_no" to find out the exact size and normal price. Make sure the size is close enough to a frame that you have tried and found to be a good fit.

If you have a strong prescription, you'll want a frame with a narrower lens width, otherwise the edges of the lens will be thick, even with hi-index materials.
That was one of the little gems of Windows Phone. It could do what your current generation Android/Apple phone could do on previous generation hardware.

Um what? I feel like you haven't spent 10 minutes in a physics class. As someone who spent many years studying physics, you have to get within range of the quantum level before people in that field start feeling a little shaky in their beliefs.

The history of consensuses? Yes, please, you should do that, because it has gotten us quite far given the constraints of time. There are so many crackpot ideas that are thankfully rarely explored due to consensus.

That you've disabled some of the Mozilla roots is laudable. However you're still trusting every other root to trust their intermediaries to trust their intermediaries and on and on to trust the people they issue certs to. This is fundamentally how the modern internet works. The same is true for DNS as SSL.

As for your solution: a web of trust is also transitive, unless your depth of trust is one. If your depth of trust is one, the only way you're productively browsing the internet is by doing TOFU for every single cert at which point I have other questions.
These things build on each other over time and learning a language is not exactly easy, especially if you are starting out. An important aspect of the transferability here is that you can go from programming a jewelbot in c++ to programming other microcontrollers. You don't have to learn a completely different language and toolchain to continue exploring programming on a different platform.
That shouldn't be patentable. Bluetooth's entire purpose is to serve as a means for devices to communicate.

How uncertain should man-made global warming sound, in your opinion? You're speaking in gross generalities, perhaps getting some hard numbers. What I've read is that nearly 100% of publishing researchers in the area agree on it (high 90's).

See also: timestamps when HN comments are posted.

This is much more interesting because pretty much everyone only participates in discussions when posts are on the front page - it would be tough to schedule/delay a post and stay relevant. Also, the lock-in after 1 hour (or a reply) preventing deletion is huge.

Some HN participants are now kind of "whales" in the startup community - at the very least, this info could be used to schedule cold-pitch emails! (And this is across the entire archive of past users, not just current users. These habits need not necessarily change much.)

Timestamp metadata is all over the place - GitHub activity graph, blog post comments, etc. -- merging timestamps for the same person across their accounts on all the different services offers amazing insights.

The only way to "disable" this is to schedule things or provide garbage data (only when user input is given precedence - like with this tool: https://www.laurencegellert.com/software/github-graph-builde...).
It's absolutely okay to be different. In fact, everybody is different, and that's one of the big problems with trying to slot people into one of two buckets.

Not being good at Math is not that big of deal but not being proficient at your own native language seems inexcusable.
I agree with this, mostly.

Sometimes the lock free version of a Java program is simpler than the version with locks. For example, I've often written classes where all the state was easy to fit into a single atomicreference.

The real danger comes from writing a lock free program without knowing they type of problems that are hard to solve without locks. Just like cryptography, the greatest danger comes from engineers who know just enough to be dangerous.

I didn't notice the user name! Sorry for beating a dead horse.

There is a lot of "toxic femininity" I'm with you on that.
The notification and icon badges help hide when you're sleeping, but they advertise when you're interacting with someone. You're "unseen" for twenty hours. The guy you're cheating with logs in and sends you a message. Five minutes later, you log in and read it. You wait two hours, read it again and send another message. He doesn't check for an hour. You're so longing for his response, so every five minutes you're logging in "how many ticks? what color? has he read it yet??". Once he's out of his meeting, he (finally noticing the notification) logs in and sends a message. Your activity drops off now that you have your reply, but you nevertheless send yours...
So what happened after finding out who it was?
> I made a special point to extend my research to a specially selected group... The result confirmed Nature's supreme powers: σ fraction of the Nobel laureates are stupid.

I mean... okay. I would like to know both what the definition of "stupid" is here and what this study actually consists of. Also I'm pretty sure using "We all recollect occasions..." as your main supporting evidence is several logical fallacies rolled into one.

Is this satire? Am I missing the joke? If the main point is that stupidity is a product of nature and can't be changed by experience there needs to be a lot more evidence to back it up.
> But I hope we can continue to question the validity of "feminine" social constructs while also creating products like this, which bridge the gap after socialization has taken its toll.

Yep, just because this product doesn't fix all society's problems related to pushing gender norms on children doesn't mean it's not worth doing.

I might be wrong here, but what if I change my settings to "not show the last seen status"? I guess in that case this doesn't work. Yes, I believe checking "Online" status frequently does give some information about my activity. Correct me if I'm wrong here.
As far as training your users on efficient queries do you leverage WLM queues to push the worst queries into a longer running queue?

It sounds like you are dealing with a lot of data. You say you are using SSDs but also that you have petabytes of data. The max size for a Redshift cluster with SSDs (dc1.8xlarge) is 326TB. Do you only keep a subset of your data in Redshift? How much data are you loading on a daily basis?

Another comment suggested using EMR to create the rollups, have you looked at using a second cluster of dc2.8xlarge instances for rollups? Have you looked at Spectrum?

I'd love to hear your experiences and solutions because it sounds like you're pushing Redshift to it's limits.

Wow, that's actually an element of these standardized tests I've never thought of before - that ESL folks would do a big part in shifting numbers around due to unfamiliarity with the language. Thank you.
I don’t know why you wouldn’t be allowed, other than Seamless may have a rule against it since it’s probably a better customer experience to see accurate prices. The margin problem can be handled with delivery charges or delivery minimums.

"California isn’t alone in its stagnating scores and in fact compares favorably with the 12 other states, plus the U.S. Virgin Islands, that administered the same tests last spring from the Smarter Balanced Assessment Consortium. Scores decreased in every state, and California’s decline was about the smallest, retired educational testing specialist Douglas McRae said."

This is the most important sentence in the article. It points to a problem in the test itself - California's students didn't just get magically stupider.

Standardized testing isn't a particularly good way to gauge schools' ability to prepare students for college or for the 'real world.' Unfortunately, our K-12 public education system is broken and the politics of fixing it are even more broken, so this is what we get.
Not only that, but also - language is more of a skill, a habit, which grows and evolves with circumstances, while math is a "study", with objects, operations, rules, processes, correctness criteria etc.

Eventually both are needed - as well as computers - but how to get there, opinions can differ widely.
>These files should be consumable at the OS level.

They are. You've broken something, I suspect.
> Rep rate is not so good. 45 ms = 20Hz maximum.

If that's their per-sample time, they probably would've dissolved by now after admitting total defeat - 20 Hz is totally unusable for navigation. I'd guess that that's something more like maximum latency from real world to computer, either due to deep pipelining or because they communicate data frames rather than a stream of individual samples. Very easy for that kind of thing to fall through when talking to the media.
I guess I am questioning what the point of asking for gender is, to begin with.

Do you think I could possible use this path for psychology?

I was diagnosed with schizophrenia at 18 and bipolar at 31. I spent a few years doing research to create an alternate model of understanding and experimenting on myself have had amazing success without psychiatric medications.

I've also helped other people through sharing my experience and coaching them.

When I shared my story with Rick Doblin from maps.org he said he felt my particular application of using MDMA would spur new lines of research.
While there is no "official" language for the United States (and thus California), it is widely considered that English is the de facto national language. It is the majority language for both the country and California.

So having difficulty with English is a really, really bad thing for these students.
Sorry for the jargon.

MultiCloud refers to "using more than one cloud (Infrastructure As A Service) to run their business or production application.

Example:
- I could run my production workloads on AWS for their increased availability and range of services they offer. But might be pricy.
- I could run all of my QA or pre-production workloads on cost-effective/cheaper clouds such as DigitalOcean, Linode, or OVH.

That way I own my destiny. I build my application in such a way that application portability is maintained.
It has everything to do with home life and environment. No classroom within the expected margins of quality can overcome a negative home life that does not value education and encourage student achievement.

Wealth and cultural/familial values are the major culprits.
I haven't had a phone mostly because I refuse to have any non-free software controlling my life. I don't want to be tracked, manipulated, or have a computer attached to me at all times with a second, hidden computer inside that can do things I don't want it to do nor can even know about.

I'm excited about Librem, if it is what I think it will be: a phone I can completely trust.

I'm also extremely surprised that it got funded. 1.5e6 USD is not a modest goal given how stingy we usually are about freedom-respecting projects.
Ps, I have a BA in Psychology and an MS in Urban and Regional Planning with a focus on community development.

> So the solution is train 50 million people and tell them to move to large cities?

No, that's not a solution or what they need to be told to do, the move is just what is largely going to happen over time.

Insofar as there as a policy solution, it's supporting the effected population through the transition, which, certainly includes funding retraining those who can benefit from that, assisting relocation, and assisting those who can't benefit from retraining.

(While it's politically unlikely in the near term, UBI could address much of that with less friction and overhead than targeted programs.)

> I would expect something better. I think getting the federal government into building things again instead of contracting it out would be a start, similar to FDR's works programs.

Whether it's government jobs or contractor jobs makes no difference; FDRs works programs weren't significant because of that but instead because of the scale of the work. But those were to deal with a major business cycle downturn, not an effort to hold back the long-term rural→urban transition.

Unless your works program is a permanent one building monuments to waste in rural areas, it’s beside the point of the problem you are trying to address
I guess the simplification I drew may not apply to everyone (edited). The off the cuff example given in the interview seemed to reinforce the idea that middleschool girls should be worried about guys and that didn't seem very empowering to me.
Well no-one makes a big fuss about getting the common cold now do they?
Whether detached or attached, once you get out of denser urban areas, land isn't really the limiting factor. In many cases, a garage is a lot different from livable space. I have an attached garage and you'd probably just tear it down to make living space out of it--and that would just result in a bigger house.
Are Star Craft and Red Alert the same game?
This is the kind of comment that truly derails education. It's reactionary and doesn't have a real objective.
Lack of wealth and lack of cultural/familial values more so than their overwhelming presence - though some might argue against the cultural part. When will American culture praise and reward academic acheivement in the way that some other cultures do?

+1 this would be really nice. Currently we can choose between "latest activity" or "browse files". Adding an option for "issue board" (and "list of issues") would be great.

My non-tech colleagues get pretty lost when they go to the project's home page and see either files or a list of commits.
It's almost as if the standard of what is standard changes drastically as the world does.
I'm pretty sure it is. This seems to suggest most people speak english: "Nearly 43% of California residents speak a language other than English at home, a proportion far higher than any other state."

Yes. Most of the hispanics whose families arrived in California before the English speakers arrived have long since become native English speakers. As with most second-generation or later immigrants.

Though I have heard tales of Californians being native speakers of Lisp, this is probably just a rumor.
Then one is stuck with a device that may not be able to receive updates based on carrier. Google have product dedicated to their Fi Network, which is as close to the source as you can get.

AKA no rooting for recent updates.
Having difficultu with English is definitely really bad. Especially in California, where poor English skills can continue to thrive in immigrant populations after schooling and lead to less opportunities in general.
NextDoor Says Users Who Share Posts with Reporters Could Be Kicked Off the Site
I can assure you there are no computers in classrooms where these failing students are from. You want to improve scores? Pay for school lunches. Pay for stationery and other basic supplies. Pay teachers more.

It is ridiculous that costs of living and property values are skyrocketing across the state, but rather than more taxes going towards education there are budget cuts year after year.
I was using tmuxinator for this, but found that all of my sessions were essentially the same thing except for the name and the working directory.

So I just wrote a shell script that takes a directory, using basename for the session name, starting up what ever windows and panes it needs to. I have two variants, one for generic dev stuff (shell and an editor) and the other is for rails work (shell, editor, logs, rails db and a rails c in the last window).

You don't have to ask about their genitals but given you claim boys like jewelbots (which they very well might do) I think it's pretty relevent to understand whether those are biological boys or simply biological girls identifying as boys.

One would be less interesting than the other. Here is why.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/2016/03/12/the-astonishin...
That's not quite what I was going for. I enjoyed your article because I agree with your overall point that distributing stuff has an overhead, and also it points to a definite problem in how some research work is portrayed - possibly having to do with what the incentives are in reviewing and publishing.

However I think you're taking your argument to the extreme in a way that doesn't really apply here. First, from what I understand, graph databases are still far from well understood and don't really represent the best in query optimization. This is in no way representative of RDBMS query optimizers for usual OLAP/OLTP tasks, and not what we're talking about right now. Something like SAP HANA or Redshift or experimental systems like HyPer and MonetDB or even something like impala would represent that literature better here. Or check out MapD, which uses GPUs for parallelism. Or kdb+, which has existed for forever and is well-known to do a great job parallelizing and offers a rich query syntax.

Indeed, when I look at the emptyheaded paper for example, I see SIMD parallelism, query compilation join optimization, all stuff that was first developed in the context of RDBMSes. Surprise, surprise, when you apply tried and true techniques in the context of a new problem, you see drastic improvements. This is pretty much exactly the point that Stonebraker and the others above are making: MapReduce was kinda like the graph databases you tested: they were hyper-focused on one functionality, and missed the memo on decades of many other basic optimizations. They're certainly not the only one guilty of this.

> I don't use databases because they are really quite bad at computation.

Well, if computation's all you need ... I mean, I hope you're kidding here, but there are reasons other than performance that you'd want to have a parallel system, e.g. your working set doesn't fit in memory, or you need to minimize downtime. Granted, these are not problems that are common. Also there's many reasons you want a database over a hand-rolled solution: you need to concurrently serve a lot of queries, including insertions and updates, you have to do well on many different types of queries rather than just a single one, etc etc etc.

Also, /what/ system? Bad at /what/ computation? There's so many different systems for so many different workloads that I can't believe you can seriously make such a statement. If you're saying RDBMSes are bad at graph computations, then sure. That's unsurprising. But that's not what we were talking about! :-/
I agree. There are definitely many scenarios, some of which are playing out already, where putting computers into classrooms will help not hinder.
Are you curious to see Californian standardized testing acheivement excluding ESL students?
The kids go to school to get homework from professionals trained in the art of teaching then the unqualified parent is the one that has to help the child do these homeworks. Now what is recommended is to sign up for the after school program where for a fee someone can help them with their homework.

How about they teach and do the work during school hours?
What is California's score if you get remove all the test scores of illegal immigrants. I'm sure that they drastically drop the scores.

Being an ESL student would make school significantly harder. And would also explain he low English skills. And given that most illegals are manual labor and not high skilled jobs, the kids don't have parents who can help their kids with maths.
This is so true. Where I live most of people started using Whatsapp on old Nokia phones running SymbianOS. It was one of the few decent apps available.
I didn't consider this at all. Leave it to Krebs to elucidate :).
I'm surprised I even have to explain this here but testing for basic language proficiency is not the only thing these types of tests are for. They test elements of writing, grammar, critical analysis, and vocabulary that students are still learning.

Unfortunately, I couldn't find any easy way to get example questions - they're all locked behind a login that requires student id.

Furthermore, this isn't entirely an ESL issue - according to the article, scores for African-American students were the lowest, and they're obviously native speakers. So we would need more information to figure out the origin of this disparity.

One final point - these numbers are the percentage of students who scored above a threshold, NOT their average scores. All of the scores for every ethnic group are likely on something like a normal distribution, shifted to the right or left. Of the groups who performed below the standard, it's likely that the majority of them performed very close to the standard even if they were just below it.
