My point is that some roles may not have much upward mobility, or they may want to bring in someone with less experience and train them up (a good thing).

Someone with a mountain of experience coming in has to work against the suspicion that they are taking the role for the wrong reasons, namely that they will bounce as soon as they find something more in line with their actual experience.

It goes beyond expectations of pay and responsibility.

If you take someone with a ton of experience who says they will do the job for $30k/year, their growth expectations are quite likely different than that of a junior person. As such, there's a greater likelihood they will leave sooner if they find something more senior.

And the hard part of this is, they might genuinely be interested in the role. But enough managers get burned by taking in someone with too much experience for a lower level role that leave in under a year, and they tend to avoid that type of candidate.

Studies are better than biased self tests. Even self study where you try to apply perceived ratings and controlled calorie measuring is better than a sniff test. Try following the setup for some studies on fat vs. carb satiation and see what you come up with. In my experience on a sustained calorie deficit total calories matters most as long as it isn't a refined sugar causing glycemic spikes. I think fibrous carbs vs refined carbs does have an impact. Otherwise, probably much less.

That is an excellent example, thank you for the link. In a related action I think switching my NYT subscription to Blendle does limit the amount of 'browsing' I do. Something I'll have to fix.

As a product of private school: my experience is yes and no. There are certainly some behaviors that hurt your success, and there are plenty of extremely successful people who are successful specifically because they are excellent human beings all-around. There are also plenty of people who are financially successful because they are exceptionally selfish and generally horrible to others, but not in overt or combative ways.
As someone who’s taught Algebra to 7th grade kids using functional programming concepts building their own game, I agree, there’s significant overlap. The course plan I used is available[0] if interested.

Poor example on his part. The same situation could happen while changing the radio, adjusting AC, or even looking in a different mirror. The safety-dogmatism of "If you need to take your eyes off the road, then first stop" is not practical advice.
'Disgruntled' just means 'unhappy,' so a negative review is understandable.
That makes it very clear, thank you. So, let's say the Fiat markets go down holistically and people have assets in the Fiat markets like stocks. The market trends downward for a while and people sell their assets to avoid the "crash" or potential "forever loss" of assets. So, people will also likely sell their bitcoins off at this time, and in general the price will be lower for a good sprint.

Thanks for clarifying, I believe I caught your gist.

Several Critical Vulnerabilities Discovered in Apache Solr (XXE and RCE)
That's a part of software engineering though.

Once you reach a certain scale, you have to decompose your problems into subproblems. You solve those and assemble them into the final system.

The people making AMQP (following the original author's example and line of reasoning) were solving too many problems: they had a message queue, they had a wire protocol, they had service discovery, etc. This is all fine.

The author and others went on to make ZeroMQ with the intention of focusing on the communication between nodes and various communication patterns (pub/sub, reply/respond, etc.). They had some work on what should go over the wire but not too much, and they didn't expose things like authentication or discovery of services. Why? Because those are critical to applications, but not to a distilled, core message queue.

Using ZeroMQ, now, you can build up to what AMQP wanted to be. You can agree between your customers that ZMQ will be how you coordinate between systems, but you define your own message format using a separate standard. That standard is now independent of the wire protocol as well. Take something like ASN.1 or protocol buffers and define your message schema using those.

You want discovery? You agree on how services should be announced (a schema in ASN.1) and where the service registry should live (this would be a system configuration detail, where you specify where your system looks for a registry, maybe even federate registries). But this doesn't redo the work of ZMQ or the work of the serialization/deserialization format defined above.

You want to handle authentication? You pick your desired authentication protocol (public/private keypairs for identity, a capabilities based system, access tokens, whatever) and you again define a schema, define where the authentication service is located (or how it's identified in the registry above) and continue.

We don't reinvent TCP every time we want a new network protocol (well, some people do). Why would you reinvent the message queue when its already been distilled to a basic and fundamental framework that can be used to implement your desired business logic (now, if the MQ lacks some features that are basic or primitive, then it should be extended because it's not complete).
Current employess sometimes write scathing reviews as well, so there's clearly a potential for retaliation there.
I agree, it's not good on Facebook to advertise inactive accounts (maybe they don't?), but it's not really in their immediate interest to do so.
Ask HN: Why do you keep coming back to Hacker News?
I get the humor value, but isn't this just elitism from the software folks? Should we add similar warnings to websites of startup companies? Or during the installation of pretty much every single OS?

I saw some folks recommending punitive damages against IoT companies that ship this insecure junk. Well how about prosecuting software devs who introduce security vulnerabilities?
Coercing people to provide it drops the signal to noise ratio imo - especially since there is no verification step.
Scientist, Medical Doctor, Auto Mechanic, Appliance Repairman. All require a similar cognitive toolkit: Curiosity, creativity, desire for deep knowledge about how a system functions, ability to design experiments to troubleshoot, etc.
Good point. Sounds like there needs to be a bot tax. ;)
No. :(

Businesses have no concern over their long term viability. Executives are not incentivized in anyway to care about long term interests. In fact all their bonuses and compensation explicitly reward the short term. Compounding the problem is a simple cost benefit analysis means they've already costed out the future "backlash," and still find themselves to be more profitable.

The "long term" is nothing but a mental exercise with no real world manifestation for businesses. The closest you can probably get to it having meaning is for business school grad students doing case studies.
It isn't always about whether the legal system cares. They're asking whether or not moral people should care. Those can be very different.
Like any review site the reviews will always be either super positive or super negative, and with Glassdoor I think this natural effect is heightened because employment can be very emotional for people (versus a review of a burger on Yelp, for example).
I think a lot of traders switched to StockTwits: https://stocktwits.com/
Every single online review platform can be gamed by just soliciting reviews from people who have just had a positive experience and shunting people who have just had a negative experience to some kind of alternative channel where their complaints can be hidden from the public and/or resolved.

The more aggressive the company is in managing public perception through online review platforms, the more challenging it will be for anything negative to get out there.

Companies have a strong incentive to systematically manipulate online review systems. The people leaving the reviews 'organically' just have some intrinsic motivation to write them. Over time the shills will win no matter what kind of rules you set up to prevent it. To some extent also the capacity to run a good shill program is a signal of the health of the business doing the shilling, so it doesn't completely destroy the value of them.

The main way to counteract this kind of shilling is for objective and trusted third parties to compare companies, products, etc. with tests that cannot be faked and perhaps combined with some subjective evaluation. If the user is not paying to maintain the accuracy and objectivity of the reviews that they're using to inform their decision, then why should they expect it to be anything other than some combination of shill-spam, the odd lunatic, and the increasingly rare fair-minded and well-informed reviewer? The aggregate of all those things is not necessarily the ideal wisdom-of-crowds outcome because all of the inputs can be defrauded or otherwise manipulated in various directions.
I agree there is probably a better term, but the differentiation would be that you are abstracted one level up from a native shell, and thus could probably more easily write a cross-platform "virtual OS" that could run on top of Windows, OSX, etc - and install it with the ease of running an application, as opposed to fiddling with more sensitive things.
And this is what populists should be irate about. Not... other things.

I think the problem with those analogies is much simpler and more fundamental - they assume writing software is the "building" part. It's not. Construction is what compilers do for us. What we do is design. Architecture, if you must. And we can release a new version of a software every day instead of every year like other industries, because compilers do their work fast and effectively for free.
It's dangerous so far. I'm still all for better information and more diy. People will understand their health and real value of products better.

Aligns pretty well with my interests. I wish it was a little more social. Also, it's difficult sometimes to contact other users about something they submitted.
Quality of content. If I want quantity, I go to Reddit.

And by quality, I don't just mean articles... there are some excellent critiques and well thought out discussions here. People will actually discuss things in a respectful manner even if they differ on opinion. (Relative to other sites)
Although it is quite egregious here - this is not a problem inherent to colorization but rather to generative models in general.

Using something akin to a variational autoencoder would solve this problem, because it learns a distributional approximation rather than a single point estimate of the color, and then the random noise vector input allows one to sample from this output distribution.
Similarly, Mixture Density Networks allow you to model a distribution and then sample from it.
Are you saying a database doesn't have value? For many companies, their database is their largest asset.
It's more likely that they just are biased in the sense that organizations and people have bias. There's little basis to assert that they are consciously, intentionally biased and trying to hide it. All their efforts to appear unbiased probably go along with a desire to be unbiased. Actually achieving some mythical unbiased view is much harder than some guidelines to avoid amplifying impressions of bias.

In short: even when they present biased opinions as objective truth, they don't have whole meta-conspiracy around planning to do that. Nobody is writing these social-media guidelines thinking "this will better allow us to get away with presenting our political angle as objective truth" or anything like that.
I have the same experience. When I was younger I was puzzled when my friends mom (richer family) was so nice. Cooked large breakfast for us when I stayed over, etc. And his friends were nice. And they talked normally to each other and were funny and clever.

Where I came from, the norm was just anger. And the conversation was mostly putting each other down. Or challenging each other. Still trying to overcome that.
We are moving towards a more centralized web, not decentralized. The technology industry, and the Internet, is consolidating. Look at the news for all the companies being purchased by facebook, google, microsoft, amazon, apple, hpe and cisco. Also look at ISPs, Timewarner and spectrum, verizon, att, etc all are consolidating. It will continue to become harder to hide, or be anonymous, as we make this path because not only will data be held by just a few players, but so will the transmission lines only be held by a few.
I have. I found a cool place that did lactate threshold (via constant blood sampling) Dexa fat scans and VO2 max).

The thing is you can use RPE. We basically mean sustained 4/5 effort (rating of perceived on a scale of 1-5). It's a good enough proxy. VO2 max is also tricky because some people have higher or lower VO2 max but go faster or slower. Higher max != Faster times.

I think the sweet spot for very low carb diets is ultra marathon where you keep your HR around 130-140 anyway, wherein you would use fat anyway. Simple fact is you can't max your power output in an aerobic capacity without carbs. This is not disputed. What we want to know is where the cut off point is in terms of percentage of VO2 max.

Edit: just adding, Noakes talks about ultra performance in his book. It covers everything I saw in that book. He dives deep into the body systems and energy production of the body to suss out the science involved.
> who wants a text editor that also implements support for tetris?! ^•^

Well, I do :) - given that said editor also has better UX than mainstream operating systems (in terms of efficiency, extensibility and interoperability), and it's because of that it is possible for someone to implement Tetris in it.
I hate to shit on projects, but there's 0 way this is production ready.

Marak mentioned the lack of tests. Logging is inconsistent - half is console.log, half is winston, and none of it is exposed to the user. No monitoring. No secret management. This was not designed to scale.

I can't even find the SDKs they were advertising.
Insulin is something we get for free(as in covered by taxes) over here in at least the UK(where I currently reside) and Sweden, where I am originally from and where I was first diagnosed. I don't know what I would do in a society where the medication I need to live a decent life, let alone survive, would cost me an arm and a leg(appropriate phrase in this case :P) to get.
The real-time syncing immutable, append-only log that hypercore provides can also be accessed randomly, allowing for lots of cool parallel/distributed log processing architectures (Kappa architecture), similar to Kafka (which is also based on immutable, append-only logs). We have just focused on syncing a filesystem at first because we had a strong use case there, but you could totally build a CRDT on top of an append only log.

It depends how you define it.

Alcohol abuse is positively correlated with wealth. Tobacco, marijuana, and cocaine use is negatively correlated.
Agreed. This attempt to whip journalists into being neutral is a fool's errand. It just means the bias will leak out in subtle, unmodeled ways.

Let there be bias. Let it be clear what the bias is so readers can appropriate weigh the different reports.
But how can you tell if the bots are actually hired by the company? What if it was someone outside the company trying to influence Twitter for their own purposes?

In some cases, yes.

Piloting a vehicle on motorways - regardless of type - is a privilege that carries a certain level of responsibility. If someone in a vehicle can't be bothered to exhibit that level of responsibility and kills someone else who was exhibiting that level of responsibility then it should be a crime.
Same as others said, decent posts here. Like Reddit, just for tech. I do wish it would live up to the name "hacker news' and post more IT security related articles, a vast majority of all submissions have to do with coding.
"GET /headers" will dump the request headers, but note this has gone through one layer of munging by nginx and another by Mojolicious, so don't draw any conclusions about what you see in the response without bearing that in mind!

> That is how market works, people not satisfied with sitting experience and constantly trying to improve on that

Not sure if you're joking here, but if not - then no, it's not because of that. Companies jsut make new, "better" versions, market them hard, and are happy because when they pull the old ones from the stores, you have no choice but to buy one of the new ones.
How about incentive to expel users who violate their ToS like our President? Surely threatening nuclear war violates their "Abusive Behavior" rules (which are part of their TOS)... [1]

And that's just getting started.

Has there been ANY statement from Twitter leadership on why they permit Trump to continue with this behavior? I have my own cynical answer, but I'm curious if they've gone on record for what is such a blatant abuse of their ToS it is unconscionable that they let it continue.

I was thinking the other day about how bots effectively hack the first amendment. If you're one to believe that the proper remedy for offensive speech is more speech, the bots kind of throw that out the window. Trolls are at least actual people, but bots are not. You're not going to exchange views with a bot. So it's reasonable to suppress bot content. But then the problem is, how do you know it's a bot? What's the foolproof algorithm that determines whether someone is or isn't a bot, without false positives or false negatives? What if it's someone that is merely scheduling their own tweet? So it means you've opened the door to suppressing someone's speech based on the content of their message.
It was always this way the people who actual wrote softwate were always more privacy minded. The products geeks who get excited over new products were the ones who never cared about privacy. There is a price to pay to be an early adopter and most are willing to trade in intangable things like time or stability or privacy. They set the norm for the average customer group that follows through feedback in the alpha/beta stages.

I wouldn't say not a chance, we have no clue what the brain does.

Only because a brain can learn building on old concepts doesn't mean anything about the basic algorithm being different. The brain is a much bigger and longer living neural network.

What they were explaining with the child learning character recognition with the knowledge about strokes. Why would you think our brain doesn't simply connect some of the stroke recognizing neural networks to a higher level neural network built for character recognition. You can increase the depth of the network basically indefinitely. Stack various neural networks to produce more complex ones, etc.

For me maybe not a ghetto but dirt poor people that rest of a small city referred to as 'miracles street' (drunks, poor people, police visits once a month) had bunch of decent people and friends I think will have contact for life whereas I got to know quite some rich people who were maybe smooth in contact but in reality they were awful backstabbers.

So your mileage may vary...
Fair to say the study results themselves (as opposed to the authors' assertion quoted in the gp) don't really pertain to the health effect of low carb/keto, at all (ie null rather than evidence for or against)?
