>You're also most likely going to pay per word, so if you can figure out a good way to not send them sentences you've already had translated you can save some money.

That's why they build those databases of phrases you were referring to, since they apply discounts on matches against those DBs and on repetitions in your document.

Instead, ask explicitly for a Translation Memory file at the end of the job, so that you can retain your personal piece of database of phrases that was produced during the localization of your file (it's your right to have it and serious companies will hand it without fuss).

The Nazi party wasn't a violent revolution, and Mao came to power in part through widespread famine and war.

Creating famine doesn't always generate a violent and widespread revolution, that wasn't my point. Inequality on its own, without other types of degradation or the growing desperation that famine brings has sparked no such revolutions.

I suspect a lot of people are actually looking at video processing performance now that everybody has a 1080p camera in their pocket. I don't do that personally but I recall reading it a lot.
I would really be interested in the opinion of anyone on HN who lived in the Soviet Union as to whether this sounds plausible as an explanation. It does to me, but I don't think I would have the ability to recognize an implausible explanation of how the Soviet Union worked, as I had no real-world experience of it.
Seriously? The App Store ads? Great. I was getting really sick of searching for exactly the app I want then having the first result be an ad for something else. So user-hostile.

Yes, but that's a direct consequence of Fed policy from the last two recessions. What we really need is to get the Fed out of monetary policy entirely.
Yea, this seems like poor planning. If you want to be able to survive a super volcano then leave the area hand have ~10 years food supply for humanity would be plenty. Remember, in the past they don't cause mass extinctions. So, both plant and animal species tend to survive it.

This would be a bit different. Itanium, Sparc, Crusoe, ARM... all these CPUs were offering is the promise of better performance in some aspect.

Crusoe and ARM were not about the promise of better performance, but of being much more energy-efficient for the intended purpose (though since a few years ARM tries to get into a (more) high-performance field).
As much as discussing "How do we reform Facebook" etc. is important, this is the real story here that people need to focus: the unrelenting negative feedback echo chambers fueled by social media but also very much by reputable journalistic outlets that should now better, e.g. New York Times.

No interviewing system is perfect or even good. Having said that interviewing, in my experience, isn't actually the biggest problem companies have with hiring. The biggest failures are when you have that realization that someone isn't working out where most companies don't have the stomach to deal with the problem decisively through candid feedback/conversation or possibly letting that person go. This natural shyness around confrontation hurts everyone involved including both the employee in question and all their team members.
Oh, down vote, no voice. What started the Iraq war? Russia and Iraq wanted to create a new exchange dominated in Euro. Try that shit again and see how far you go.

To elaborate more, automatic discounts are really a big deal even at scale because it’s somewhat similar to AWS pricing schemes for reserved instances except it doesn’t require you to reprovision anything at all. For a lot of companies with stateful software and non-cloud native architecture (lift and shift) this helps cut significant costs while you’re growing.

The default pricing mechanism in AWS for on-demand instances in particular for companies that can’t afford to rewrite their non-cloud native software with tons of state and no CI/CD infrastructure or process is a boon for AWS and even at six figure monthly spend you could certainly use a 40%+ discount on your instances.
Contracted local university CS / Math students from China. Done on an exchange basis where I helped with English and tech issues. They helped proofread machine translations. Made some excellent friends. And now I have an invitation to visit Henan Province as well ;)

What I am really interested in investigating is what is the minimal subset of words or concepts that makes a website or service useful. Is it 10,000? Or closer to 500. Because if is the latter, localization by standardizing the interface around these usability 'primitives' common to every culture would make the translation process very fast.

Essentially localization becomes a kind of "growth hack" itself. Having English, Spanish, Russian, Mandarin, Hindi / Urdu, etc. Covers a vast swath of humanity. But the marginal addition of say, Polish or Dutch, can result in an unexpected boost!

Software giant uses opaque pricing and vendor lock in to bamboozle overmatched civil servants. In the annals of government contracting, the fact that their software seems to be useful and work pretty well is notable in itself.
I've learned that a decent proxy for this mythical silver bullet of hiring is basic questions about tooling and networking.

Gauging someone's vast, claimed experience in some language or technology can be tricky, but if they can't explain what a rebase is, or how maven dependency management works, or how SSL works in general terms, it tells me a lot about what kind of technologist they are.
That's your decision. Nobody in Bitcoin can guarantee you that the value will stay above $200 though.
Yes, Apple itself gives me more control over privacy than just about anyone. On the other hand, it facilitated an app ecosystem where most apps have to make money through ads, data collection, or crappy in-game purchases, and there goes my privacy. Maybe the largest company in the world is powerless to stop people from wanting free software, but that's also a major reason it's the largest company in the world.
> the current Speaker of the United States House of Representatives wants to hurt poor people.

No. He wants the government to spend less of his money. Maybe he doesn't care whether that means poor people get hurt, but it's not the same thing.
The First-Cause argument is invalid.

In that argument everything except the creator has a cause. It posits an uncaused effect (creator->universe), instead of just an uncaused effect (universe). Universe + creator introduces an unnecessary complication (the creator) vs simply having an uncaused universe. It doesn't get rid of the causality violation.

There's no way to have a beginning without violating causality. You either posit an infinite universe (eg eternal inflation models of the Big Bang) or you accept an uncaused effect. Trading one uncaused effect for another doesn't get you anywhere.

Why does one have to be zealous to understand bitcoins are divisible up to eight decimal places? A single bitcoin is really 100,000,000 bitcoin "satoshis" (1.00000000). "Satoshis" being the smallest unit (0.00000001).

So, there really are 2,100,000,000,000,000 bitcoin units. When you purchase a single "bitcoin", you really are purchasing 100,000,000 "satoshis".

Considering how fast healthcare costs have risen, isn't cutting spending a good thing?

Don't over-generalise from the USA. There are plenty of democracies that run balanced budgets and thus don't have a deficit, or even run a surplus. For example, Germany, Switzerland. The UK government has won the last three elections on a backdrop of "we're going to cut spending still further to try and balance the budget" and voters supported that.

The USA is actually somewhat unusual amongst democracies in how little effort there truly is to reign in spending. The Republicans seem to have lost any ability to enact real policy. Only the Dems seem able to make major changes to US society and it's always in the direction of more spending. When the Reps get in, they seem too weak, too divided and too beholden to the military to pass any real spending cuts.
Why do you feel like you need root access? In my experience, there are pretty much zero real reasons for a dev to need that level of access in a company that has an IT dept. IT may have good reasons not to let you mess around. If you want more access, I suggest you have a conversation with them and make a good business case for why it's a good thing. If you can't, then you probably don't need it and they would be right to deny it to you.
I would like to abandon most of regulation and cut a lot of jobs in administration of said university.

And then buy top notch to-be-professors' time by an hour.

Make them compete one against another if there's a choice.

All kinds of paper-pushing regulations have to go now, along with people who carved nice positions for them to do said paper pushing, because it's public money completely down the toilet.
What about the fact that Musk publicly exited the presidential councils he was a member of over the Paris Accord? It was a move that would have offended US conservatives, particularly those at Breitbart, on at least two fronts: supporting efforts to combat climate change and damaging the President's reputation as an ally to Silicon Valley.
Maybe because it's not clear there is much to had by trying. The pendulum is currently in swing the other way - see macOS ".app" folders, in effect statically linking apps. And the various Linux initiatives to similar effect.
No, not at all. There is no equal partnership. They are under no obligation to bring you on board. You are free to go your own way, and so are they. God, if there was an implied equal partnership, that would be bad.

The Ryzen 5 beats your 2500K clearly in real life benchmarks, like games. Even when the 2500K is overclocked and Ryzen 5 is not. Example benchmarks: https://www.gamersnexus.net/hwreviews/2875-amd-r5-1600x-1500... (and this is by far not the most Ryzen-positive one).

> Again, if Ryzen/Zen is so amazing, where are the sales?

I'm under the impression that Ryzen is selling great. They had to sell Ryzen 7s as Ryzen 5s to meet demand.
The majority of Africa is still dealing with the effects of colonialism.

To evaluate the price of a Bitcoin from the perspective of its value as a unit of exchange you need to take into account the volume of the transactions and the time currency is held between being paid and being spent.

If there were $1T of Bitcoin transactions each year and the coins were held for 1 year in between, then yes, the total value of all circulating Bitcoin need to be $1T. If the coins are held on average for a week, you only need $20B worth of circulating Bitcoin.

When you leave out that last number, you implicitly assume whatever interval you're talking about is the transaction duration, which is usually a bad assumption.

I would argue that by befriending and bonding with your conservative coworker over shared ideas, you are doing a great service to your country. You are talking to someone that disagrees with you, finding common ground, and co-existing in peace. That's all that's required for democratic government to function properly. The problem is that many people on both the left and the right refuse to do their duty in this regard and instead choose to vilify and hate their opponents.
Show HN: OpenBazaar 2.0 launches; decentralized marketplace using Bitcoin
It isn't that anybody wants to hurt the poor. It is that people want the poor to take care of themselves.

I know I get jealous when I think of a certain girl I know who dropped out of high school and had a few kids and collected welfare to pay for it. I worked hard to pay for my college education, now I'm in part paying for her bad decisions, my share of her support could be spent on a widget I want instead.

Note that I intentionally picked he worst, least sympathetic example of a poor person: someone who could have made something of her life by choose not to. I also know a poor person who is sympathetic: born with Downs Syndrome he will never be more than assistant usher in the local theater (the head usher - some kid who started two weeks ago - needs to handle the hard situations). As such he can never actually make a good living and most people are willing to spare some change to support him.
I'm currently comparing using Kinesis vs running a small scale Kafka cluster on AWS. The ecosystem around Kafka is great, especially Kafka connect's stuff like Debezium. But I don't know if it's worth the trouble to deal with the extra operational complexity. Any opinions on administrating Kafka at small scale?
I had no idea MailChimp ever used any sort of opt-in. More than half the MailChimp-delivered email I get is spam.
Disclaimer: I've written code outside of work for my own satisfaction.

> - Okay then, show us a personal project or some work you've done in your free time. (What, so I'm expected to live eat and breathe code 24/7 to get hired?!)

I have software I can show off to potential employers but I didn't write it for them. I'll admit that I got really lucky to both enjoy coding and to have the privilege to so, but I didn't have to give up my life in order to get it done. I play video games many more hours per week than I code outside of work.

If I had to choose between otherwise equally qualified mechanics, I would tend to prefer the one with a hobby car at home.
AFAIK, China only has one. And it seems to work remarkably well. At least they seem to have very smart people at the top.
How does the brain learn so much so quickly? [video]
I've thought about the idea that the value of a cryptocurrency is in its network. Since bitcoin has a large network it has some value that can't easily be copied or replicated. I have wondered if the value is actually closer to something like Facebook stock than gold.
I get what you're saying and I totally agree with the sentiment, but in this case I can let it slide. It's the only practical way to make a cross platform app for Linux, Windows and Mac. They simply don't have the resources to write and maintain (at least) three desktop apps. I can totally understand that a small company has to make compromises like writing their desktop apps in Electron.

That large companies also do this is another story entirely.
Serious question: Is this even actually a thing that happens?

I mean, obviously, it stands to reason that the right actor with the right investment portfolio and control of the right media outlets could pull something like this off, but it seems that there are very, very few people/companies in that position.

In fact, the Jeff Bezos / WaPo / Amazon nexus is perhaps the only example I can think of where this sort of thing is even possible, let alone carried out.

Do you have examples? I'd genuinely love to learn.
Gold is also divisible into arbitrarily-finite (down to the atom, one would suppose, though that doesn't exactly seem practical...), but that completely misses the point of the article: that the money supply isn't large enough, so Bitcoin, like gold, becomes a store of value and is useless as a currency.
I'm starting to get metaphysical about IP leases. (Request, grant, revokation, expiration.)

As in: leases are a cure all for all of societial and organizational woes. I'm having trouble articulating my thoughts. But the basic notion is give all the cruft a TTL, after which the cruft cleans itself up.

---

Want a new tax, or tax break? Sure. It expires in 36 months. Want an extension? Then ask again and we'll reassess.

Want to bring dogs into the office? Sure. Let's try it for 6 months.

Want to provision a new customer of a critical service? Sure. Here's your token. It expires in 2 days.

--

Hat tip to Bill Joy, Jini, JXTA, etc for lifting the lease notion up the OSI stack.

Hat tip to The Utopia of Rules by David Graeber for describing how organizational scars/scabs come to be.

I'm not yet sure how, if ZeroTrust Networking extends this model, metaphor.

Gold has one good property, it does not rust.

Thus making tokens out them meant said tokens would last generations, and withstand the rigors of international transport.

As best i recall, gold and silver were rarely popular for domestic trade. There more common materials were used. They were instead used for international trade.

In the end people have come to confuse the token, a way to do trade accounting without an accountant always present, with the metal it was made of.

eshell is another lispy shell that's been in Emacs for a very long time. Elisp is probably my least favorite lisp that's commonly available, but eshell probably has the largest user base and is certainly the most mature out of all of these contenders. You can reasonably use eshell as your primary shell.
It's so good! I am thoroughly impressed with its performance and the dynamic data binding. I discovered in comments that there's a frappe-gantt chart as well, would be nice if such "extra" plugins were listed on homepage (since the gantt example is even more impressive!).

All the best for the project. Are you looking for community contributions?
The amount of the original work used is a very important aspect of fair use.

After you spend a fortune helping a judge decide. CBS has the money, "you" don't.
My understanding of all these projects is that you have to change your style of coding / have more complex APIs, or they're just syntactic sugar over heavyweight threads.

What loom seems to offer is the best of both worlds; going back to writing simpler code (e.g. regular "blocking" io code) while scaling much better.
OpenBazaar has been around since mid-2014, and this 2.0 release has same major advancements. It's a separate network from the 1.0 version.

I've been working on it since it began, and it's been mentioned on HN a few times but I'm happy to answer questions about the new release.

The marketplace is now built on top of IPFS, which means the data is distributed and stores can still be accessible even when offline. It also integrates with Tor now, and has its own built-in Bitcoin wallet.

The server is based on Go and code is here:

Personally I’d go on fiverr.com & find someone to do a basic design for your project ($100-200 if you keep it simple). Then find another person to convert it to html/css ($15-$80) then wire that up.

I’ve done the above before for my projects. The trick is to keep your design requests very simple and reference existing websites as an example. Also hire someone who is in a similar time zone to you.

If the project works & start making money you can go find someone who is more expensive to make it look nicer. Design is an iterative process.
>"Neocons" were the foreign-policy hawks of the 2000s. These guys largely call themselves the "alt-right".

Hardly. Most nationalists (probably the LCD of dissident right movements) hate foreign entangelements. Trump saying Iraq was a waste of money is hardly an affirmation of the neocon platform of invasion.

And it's an over-simplification to identify the 'anti corporate welfare' view with 'anti-spaceX'. They're anti-spaceX to the extent that spaceX is dependent on the government. I can't imagine these people are any more thrilled by Lockheed Martin or Boeing.
It seems like the concepts are orthogonal though. The reason powershell works is that it replaced the entire shell toolchain with object-oriented equivalents. Without that you're fundamentally limited because your inputs are still plain text, so you're still doing the equivalent of awk/sed scripts to transform text into structured data.
