If you’re inventing new syntax... Wouldn’t an a async/await be more useful - to declaratively indicate the desired dependencies between simultaneously operating statements? That way you can work with the results of an inserted PK or the row count to inform later statements - when needed. Eg. ‘returning async’
They already could've done that if they wanted to. . The analogue hole is still digitally controlled, that's why it takes a second for audio to come through your headphones when you plug them in, your alarm plays through the speakers even with headphones plugged in, etc. The reason they don't do that is because they are obviously aware it would be commercial suicide.
Can you test this on the production version? I know that many issues were addressed during the preview period.

For me it underscores the point, we are under the influence of external forces (manipulated), for better or worse. We are also told, by some actors, that this isn't the case. These folks would have us believe, we are free to choose to enter the military or join college. But...

In this new scenario, students read the signs, the messages are brought to their attention, and of all the possible things they might do, the odds of choosing one of these two things increased some degree. In other words, the external forces in their environment have shaped their future state (choice).

I'd be curious to see a table of interventions, and the degree they pull out the entropy of what a person might do next. We might then make some categories, like you mentioned above.

When we appreciate the power of manipulation, for better or worse, perhaps we'll give it more serious consideration. This ought to undergird our thinking and decision making, whatever we may CHOOSE. ;)
Still haven’t gotten my denial letter yet (LOL).

For S17, I got my invite at 8:14pm EST.
UB has(/had?) a pretty decent CS department too. Bioinformatics as well.

Dropping out of that place was still one of the best decisions I've ever made though.
@omarforgotpwd, @purphase, @tengbretson: We're working on everything you just asked for - thanks for letting us know they are important!
@jsmeaton: Which region?
Most of the best professors I have had were researchers teaching they favorite subject. Most of the worst were "CS education" types who should have been good teachers.
Fasting doesn't work for me except when I'm on keto, where it's no problem... though I should note I'm not talking about full day fasting, just "Intermittent Fasting". I will wake up, have a coffee+butter (~100 calories), and then not eat anything else until 2pm. Oh and I often run a 10-15km run before lunch and feel great during it, I think keto helps there too.
I think your proof using the bijection amounts to: it wouldn't work because 6 wouldn't be in Z—but that is the essence of the proposition here: "what if 6 weren't in Z?" So you end up just dismissing the question.

Sure, it's a fairly arbitrary idea that isn't really going to go anywhere, but maybe it can at list be a bit more interesting.

For example, what if we treated operations resulting in what would be the 7th member (counting from zero) of Z (i.e. '6') the same we treat division by zero? If we are constructing the system axiomatically, we can follow the the pattern with Fields, looking at their definition of multiplicative inverses (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_(mathematics)#Classic_de...), which effectively excludes the possibility of division by zero. There's probably a similar way of patching axioms related to addition and multiplication so as to preclude the possibility of arriving at '6' through application of those operations.
I’ll point to an article I wrote on my blog if I may. I started my game audio website after lots of trial and error gaming with my kids.

Yep that link works, thanks
I'm guessing he means "200 kW of solar energy generation". (That didn't seem like the sort of mistake someone from Tesla would make, so I looked closer at his profile and it says "CBS news correspondent".)
Well established amongst the GamerGate crowd, yes (which is what deepfreeze is all about).

Though you know that - after all the two sites you mention were leading on that trash-fire of a movement.
Wow, it looks like Mitch & Murray finally got in some closers.

>For one, the candidate pool is artificially limited.

The candidate pool has an artificially inflated number of women due to the success of nearly universal outreach among STEM programs towards women. I'm not suggesting that's a bad thing, but let's not throw shade at universities where it's undeserved.

>And, like I said, 3 schools does not the market make.

If the 3 schools OP was recruiting from have gender bias against women then let's call them out.
Would you be able to offer some examples?

I don't know what the deal is with some recruiters--I mean, in general. I attended a recruiting event from the US gov near graduation, approached one booth and introduced myself. A friend came over and inquired about a job to which she said "oh, well that's for the creme de la creme" and turned away without asking him anything about himself!? I found that incredibly rude.

Geeze, I wish I had her psychic powers /s.

Personally I think it has to do with the problems of giving people power and authority over others...
A phenomenon also known as 'shock doctrine', after the book by Naomi Klein. From wikipedia[1]

"In the book, Klein argues that neoliberal free market policies (as advocated by the economist Milton Friedman) have risen to prominence in some developed countries because of a deliberate strategy of "shock therapy". This centers on the exploitation of national crises to push through controversial policies while citizens are too emotionally and physically distracted by disasters or upheavals to mount an effective resistance."

There's nothing particularly controversial AFAIK about the technique, seeing as there are generally plans to revisit TPP etc on Thanksgiving, hold votes when constituents can't attend (this happens in almost any institution and isn't confined to eg. US Congress), etc, and gain profit where profit is available. Parent comment could have been more informative, but there's nothing wrong with wondering aloud why this isn't being discussed.

A big problem is that an observed decline in the level of glucose is being ipso facto attributed to the consumption of that glucose. No consideration seems to be given to the more likely possibility that the decline simply indicates the uptake of glucose into some tissue (reshuffling of glucose among bodily compartments, so to speak).
Working remotely might give a town more years before they have to expand the highway due to rush hour traffic. They may work in the next town over too, so more diffuse nightlife, bars, etc... It's not a panacea, because of some of the activities you mention (stadiums), but I think it could help with infrastructure and reduce our carbon footprint.
Don't mean to be pedantic (I know it was the tweet and not you), but it's 200kW of power and 500kWh of storage.

Quite possibly. The tie-in with Bitcoin makes it very much on-topic on HN IMHO.

For better or worse, so much of our lives are conducted through and recorded by our phones and computers that they are now highly valuable black boxes for post-incident criminal investigations.

It's a shame that encryption makes it harder for them to jack into the accused's consciousness and simply download some assortment of digital artifacts out of context that can be used to build a narrative against them. Used to be you had to go out and hunt for evidence, but modern investigators prefer to sit back and fish for evidence once it comes to them.

Plus there's the value of things like your contacts list...for OC cases, it's a helpful collection of nodes and edges for their graph.

They also lose the ability to see what extracurricular proclivities you've been up to. Anything licentious you've ever (or have ever) done will be used to gain leverage over other potential witnesses or simply demonize you in court. God help you if you're embezzling money while carrying on an affair, or you're a furry simply accused of a sex crime.

Our digital lives betray the fifth amendment. Even if you won't testify against yourself, the contents of your phone/computer will tell everything...unless it's encrypted. It's the last defense against self-incrimination that we have in this era.

Genetic diseases are still diseases. They can be addressed too, excluding that would be short sighted.
It fascinates me how much we hate our elderly when some societies did(/do?) consider them their most valuable minds. Are people living too long? Or maybe adults need restricted screen time too?
The Project Management Triangle Must Die
"affordable housing without a government subsidy is becoming extinct."

Was recently in LA, had a very excited Uber driver tell he just bought a house near Topeka, KS and it was 4 bed, 3 bath, unfinished basement, 2 car garage for $95k, on a 3/4 acre. He was extremely excited about moving. That's a massive house. There is plenty of cheap housing elsewhere in the USA, you have to be willing relocate.

The title should be "How did relatively small areas in California in the grand scheme of the USA make housing so expensive most people can't live there?"
On the other hand, you could eat your lawn if you were inclined to mow it.

As an investor I think it’s always important to ask: what’s changed and why now? Discussing the past without addressing those two questions may make you miss opportunities that were obvious in retrospect. You might have been able to say the same thing about Apple when Jobs rejoined the company and started launching new products.

No river scent cues to follow, they will probably scatter and not establish any sort of breeding population - if they have any fertility left?
Yeah, but AWS has a long history of "yeah, no problem - oops will just take that off your bill" -- so just ask them to do so.

In fact, they are even proactive to the point where they come back and transparently have offered credits once their bills get fully baked.

We had a launch loop happen when an AWS EC2 API went bonkers and so we couldnt query number of running instances, so our balancer logic thought it had none and launched thousands of machines... didnt cost a penny.

If you're not married to the idea of D&D you can check other systems that are more focused on a "pick up and play" style such as "Fate Accelerated" from Evil Hat.
Going out on a limb:

HN user wastra read a paper which is obviously rife with reports from weak chains of experiments, poorly reported and with borderline statistical significance.

Then, HN user wastra commented accordingly.
Like many people on HN, I've been through the Google recruitment cattle grinder a few times - the usual observations about absurd process that leads to terrible fit apply. I'm even open at the beginning about various conditions of employment if they want to move forward...such as a desire not to move. They always move forward anyways and then at the end ask if I'd be willing to move to whatever office location has the position.

At this point I tell them not to bother if I get contacted or I just ignore the recruiter. It's effectively a pretty big waste of time 98% of the time and they're just making some kind of internal metric so that positions can be claimed to have been offered fairly.

I think what really bothers me about this process in general, and it applies to a great many companies, is that they contacted me. In that they sought me out. I didn't apply. So a little courtesy on that front would be helpful.
MockServer – Easy mocking of any system you integrate with via HTTP or HTTPS
In our Pathfinder campaign, we have a level 10 evocation (fireball, pew pew) halfing (I think?) wizard with a raven familiar. Said wizard has permanent Reduce person (so to be a tiny creature) and their familiar has permanent Enlarge Person to make it a small creature. The wizard sits in a backpack on the crow, and for roleplaying purposes (wizard lost a bet to familiar) the raven does all the talking and casting.

Before feats, the raven can fly 40' a round. Between that and items to allow for empowered and maximized fireball and scorching ray (I think?), our wizard regularly drops between 60 and 120 damage per round.

We basically have an Apache attack helicopter.

"corn averages roughly 15 million calories per acre"

"wheat comes in at about 4 million calories per acre, soy at 6 million"

What else would you have them feed their animals? Calories per acre matters when there are a limited number of acres of arable land.

Unless you are advocating vegetarianism. Which is a valid point as far as the environment goes. But farmers produce what the market demands.

No, they wouldn't have worked as taxi drivers. Maybe 1/10 of them would have ponied up the money for a medallion (assuming some corporations didn't already purchase many of the medallions in the market to be able to extract rent). The rest however would have one fewer option.

Taxi drivers have earn like 30% less relative to before Uber, but there are 10 times more drivers that now earn about the same as the taxi drivers. That's a massive net growth of opportunities to earn money.
No more than scientology, islam or mormonism - all similar scams
Pretty decent article, and makes some good points.

I think a big problem tho is that the definition of the word "socialism" varies wildly depending on who you talk to. When I say, "big problem" I don't mean with the article itself, but rather it will be a big barrier to reaching an audience to which it isn't essentially preaching to the choir.

I have a good friend that is a true Marxist and his definition of socialism is completely different than another friend of mine that supports Bernie and wants single-payer and other things but fundamentally still a "capitalist" society. I tend to side with my Marxist friend (and the author of this post) on the definition tho.

Bitcoin (or generally crypto-currencies) is definitely a game-changer for freedom. I suspect quite soon governments around the world will begin to understand this and there will be a huge push for regulation. All in the name of "stopping the criminals." Whether crypto-currencies can survive this, will have long, long lasting ramifications on the freedom of mankind.
I'm sorry the product team never got back to you. We'll get back to the email you just sent us on the preview thread.

If you have any issues with your bill, let us know and we'll happily look into it. But I'd rather work with you to figure out what went on and get it fixed for you!
Semantics, but it's a "huge, huge problem" for the director of the FBI for reasons of politics - having to essentially lie about it in public. The director doesn't do investigations, evidence gathering, or analysis.

The other situation in which it's a "huge, huge problem" is when there is communication they'd like to access that is encrypted.

What we don't know, among many other things, is:
1) How often do they come up against encrypted comms?
2) Can "traditional" work yield results that would make the encrypted comms less vital to the investigation?
3) What's the scale of the crime they're investigating when encrypted comms are encountered?
4) Are they investigating after a crime has already been committed? If so, then the damage is already done. (Yes, reconstruction of the lead-up may be useful)

Breaking encryption is not going to be a silver bullet, but trying to sell it as such is their "huge, huge problem".
Soylent marketing clearly states that it's not intended as a replacement for all daily meals.

Though it seems slightly open to interpretation whether "all" here means "replaces every meal" or "could replace any type of meal breakfast/lunch/dinner" etc. I'm guessing the former.
What instance types would you like to see? T2s? If so, which ones?
That'd require me to change my email address, when I've spent the last 10+ years training everyone to use my @gmail.

Just a guess, but I would bet that they are looking for the people who want aurora+postgress on larger workloads (ostensibly housed in far fewer accounts/support-blast-radius) than to offer shards to thousands of one-off testers/smaller companies that may inundate the bandwidth of the actual human staff.
More true than Twitter and Facebook at this point, except Scientology though.
Google still has $3.5 billion in Uber. Like Softbank, they are hedging their bets and creating a market condition where they have more leverage to negotiate in Waymo's favor.
Here is some recent news on replacement:

My father lived in an HOA community approximately once, and that community was in Florida. He gets very animated and upset whenever the topic of HOAs comes up based on his experience with them...the word "Nazis" usually comes up somewhere in his rant. I've heard similar stories from other ex-Floridians.

I've lived in both in my home states (mid-Atlantic area) and have found them to be a useful local governing group in most cases, minor annoyance in others, but nice to have when the local county can't be bothered.

Is there something particularly toxic about Florida HOAs? Is it really the retirees with nothing to do?
Got an invite 3 minutes ago. Excited! Had three rejections in the past.
Click-bait headline that unfortunately I’m supporting by even commenting. Should be called “better technology might help math places in Israel with places mentioned in the Bible”.

Yah, it's hard to be critical of necessary and life saving infrastructure being put in quickly when it's needed. But I do wonder how the economics will play out down the road.
Also, even more basic: don't just redact a PDF by adding black boxes over the text as a new layer. The text data is still there. (Yes, this has been a source of leaks on numerous occasions.)
Making calendar invites from outlook work consistently in Inbox would be good too. (I have to constantly import ics files in calendar, which sucks.)

True, but it would still take more time/effort/knowledge to spin up your servers on commodity boards.

Plus, the level of resources for configuring EC2-like servers, and Heroku-esque preconfigured servers reduce the barrier to entry pretty significantly.

In the end, recommend that I go see the product you mentioned.

I loved this article but realized I never bothered to see your site. It didn’t occur to me.
Congratulations !
Well, sure, but they can do that with or without recruiting events sponsored by the top-5 at their schools.

I guess I am also trying to say that these students should not feel so deprived if google recruiters aren't easily accessible, there's plenty of great places to work.
Yes. It does.
Same. Probably the worst class I ever took was my algorithms and data structures class. I swear the professor transcribed most of CLRS onto the blackboard over 10 weeks verbatim, and we never so much as touched a keyboard.

For me, my mental energy and alertness levels are more stable, because I'm avoiding the blood sugar roller coaster that I get from eating sugar/carbs.

When I eat carbs, most of my day is either "I'm so hungry I can't think", or "I just ate, food coma", and I'm only alert and maximally productive for the brief time after the food coma wears off and before I get hungry again. With keto, hunger and fullness are less distracting feelings that don't impact my attention as much.
