I put (we) in parenthasis - certainly, I'm aware that fact that not everyone on HN is from the US!

And no, if you're from a country that's openly hostile to free speech, you really can't speak freely online without fear of reprisal. In an abstract sense I can't speak with a complete lack of fear of reprisal either - but essentially what I'm trying to exhort people to realize is that taking on the personal risk of saying the "wrong thing" in public is a civil duty: the civil duty of maintaining our government.
Wouldn't that be a change in data collection more than in absolute quality of problem-solving? Japan, for example, I remember reading that their near-perfect homicide rate is actually because they'll classify it as "fell down some stairs" if they can't solve it. Particularly in the US with its history of social issues, I can easily see a ton of homicides in the 50s just never being written down.

I just looked at your resume, I didn't actually think it was too bad, feedback on the PDF version:-

- way too cramped, you're already on 2 pages so add so spacing to it, it's really hard to read.

- I don't care where the companies were geographically located, delete it and save space.

Questions

- Are you tailoring the resume to each job you apply for? (you should)

- What roles are you applying for?

- How many is 'after many applications'?

I don't know...how much of the increase of productivity is a result of the workers themselves intrinsically increasing their productivity, versus some outside party increasing it through research and capital investment?

Let's say I own a lawn care business, and you gladly accept work raking lawns for $10/hr@8 hr days, and you can rake 2 acres per day(or, $40 per acre). If I decide to plunk down a bunch of money and buy a turbine leaf blower, and you can now do the same job on 6 acres per day, except using the leaf blower for 6 acres is much less physically exhausting than raking 2 acres of leaves, how much money should I as the business owner owe to you for my own investment into increasing your productivity?

Well, There are many media player, But I will tell you about the best media player. Photos and music are almost entirely viewed on mobile devices, and mobile video consumption is only rising. While many people stick to the built-in or default apps on iOS and Android, many third-party apps are way better for media, adding extra features and hugely improving the user experience through good design.

Below is the list of some good media player:

VLC Media Player

PotPlayer

KMPlayer

Media Player Classic – Home Cinema

ACG Player

GOM Media Player

DivX Player

Kodi

Plex

5KPlayer

Among all of those, the best media player is the VLC player. VLC media player (commonly known as VLC) is a portable, free and open-source, cross-platform media player and streaming media server written by the VideoLAN project. VLC is available for desktop (can download from https://theporndude.com/useful-software) operating systems as also mobile platforms like Android, iPad, iPhone, and iPod Touch. VLC is also available in App stores such as Apple's App Store.

VLC media player supports many audio and video compression methods and file formats, and streaming protocols. It is able to stream media over computer networks and to transcode multimedia files.

So this is the best media player.
It's hard to know where to even begin in arguing against this.

There's the freedom/privacy argument, but I guess this is debatable depending on if you view computer files as an extension of your ideas/knowledge, or an extension of your physical possessions.

Someone brought up the entire "risk of overreach and abuse" argument.

There's also the likelihood of any tools the government has being leaked and used by bad actors (as we have seen too much recently).

Oh, and the "it's technologically impossible" argument, which should be the only one you need -- but they refuse to hear that. (Are there some supposed experts who are telling the DOJ this can be done?)

Huh? Package management doesn't imply a walled garden. You can install packages from anywhere.

And nothing stops you from having each package install into a single folder, if you want clearer boundaries.

Well lets take some of these folks and give them a herniated disk like I had. Advil? Tylenol? Sure - like Skittles. Even high doses of Hydrocodone only kept the debilitating pain away for a couple of hours.

I only slept 3 hours a night for 2 month. My neurosurgeon said - "When you've reached your pain limit call me and we'll schedule surgery". That was 2 months.

I'm very grateful for both the narcotics and the neurosurgeon. Surgery was the last resort and thankfully it reduced my pain 95% (micro discectomy).

Some years later I was umpiring and tripped and fell right on my ribs (I'm 230 lbs) - crackity crack. Breathing would not have been possible without a good dose of Percocet - a limited, appropriate amount.

So not sure exactly what's going on with this study (and I think the hysterical press has some factor) but I'd debate the results.
Tell HN: Cure for imposter syndrome
Tell your new Jr hires it is normal. It is normal for anyone to not know a brand new codebase. Even the most experienced programmer will need an acceptable amount of time before being acquainted with a codebase and architecture. They only know how to ask better questions.

So teach your new hires and guide them towards the right question.

It is not up to the new hires to get our of the imposter syndrome. It's most likely because you are making them feel that way, asking for the impossible.

So?

Edit: Why is my comment flagged? I'm asking a serious question. A domain expired... why does that need to be posted here?

Hey teapot01, I'm talking to you. Why is this a story?
Let's see, a search turns up "price per square foot for office space in San Francisco reached $72.26 in the fourth quarter of 2015". (Per year, right?) Say a small private office takes 200 ft.^2 more than your share of a cattle pen would -- by my memory of Xerox PARC, many of the researchers' offices were smaller than that in total. Extrapolate to $100/ft^2 in the future and it's still $20k, a fraction of your salary. (If it's a monthly figure, than yeah, you need to move out of SF.)
I guess it took verifying a racist nazi and the ensuing lambasting of Twitter to get them to "review" the process. Funny how that's what it takes for Twitter and Facebook to ever change.

You'd think less horrific mistakes would get their attention sooner?

Not that this was the worst mistake they made this week - that would be increasing the tweet character limit.

You can meet and keep anyone you like on Tinder. OKCupid is for people with dating anxiety, who need to distract themselves from talking to each other by filling out personality tests.
I don't know about you but people like machines/robots predominantly because they are efficient and don't make mistakes. Nobody is going to trust a robot car to pickup their kids if you tell them there is a 25% less chance that the car might end up in an accident compared to what it would be if it were to be driven by an average driver.

To your point, improving on the average doesn't require driverless cars at all. You ca get that today with just driver assistance technology, improving safety technology on roads, etc - all far easier problems to solve.
Which they can probably pretty accurately say it is causing rent increases, albeit not directly. It goes something like this:

1.) New housing starts to get built
2.) The new residents demand safer/cleaner streets or just higher quality restaurants/cafes/etc. Or, sensing a market opportunity, those businesses move in themselves.
3.) Those things happen...and more
4.) More residents want to move in
5.) Prices for the existing housing stock increases
6.) New houses are built because there is demand
7.) go to 2.

QED: rents rise "because" new housing was built.

There definitely IS an equilibrium that will be reached, but a city like San Francisco has an almost unlimited supply of young and wealthy residents that think the suburbs are hell and want to live in a vibrant city.

So the fear of some people that oppose more housing is that the equilibrium point, even if you were very aggressively adding housing stock, would be way above what "normal" people would be able to pay.

So it's really a tough problem. yes, nimbyism is a thing. Yes more housing will eventually reduce prices (or reach a steady state), but the number of houses that need to be added may very well be unrealistic for any city and end up with rents just going ever higher pricing out all but the $200k/yr techies.
Google will I'm sure vehemently deny that it is unbeatable but I think with 60k+ searches every second, Google will keep getting better. I think Google is unbeatable in search as we know it.
You didn't mention price. :)
Nice use of [...] to cut away my point there. I make no claim of representing any objective truth, only my own opinions, as I assume you do too. And one of my opinions is that I prefer more silicon than silicone in my technical articles.

> Putting a router into a shoe that has storage isn't hacking. Changing the shoe to make it possible is.

She didn't change any shoes, she 3D printed them. And she called them "3D printed platform heels for hackers", and claimed that she made them to be used for pentesting. Here you go, the first image from her pentesting gallery posted to r/diy, r/hacking, and r/lockpicking:
https://i.imgur.com/7aiOCYR.jpg
Out of 37 images there are 5 that shows the build process.

I'm not trying to put down the shoes themselves, she has a whole backstory constructed for how they could be used and the reasoning behind them. I still think a lot of people find some parts of the gallery more interesting than the actual work being displayed, and she knows that. How many would find a gallery of a pair of 3D printed shoes as interesting if it only had pictures of said shoes?

I find that most times interest on Hackernews is centered on a person it's because of that persons previous achievements or demonstrated technical ability, not their appearance. Her work isn't particularly interesting in isolation (maybe I should add IMO for much needed clarity), yet here we are with a big Hackernews discussion thread about a post made by Bunnie Huang about a post by the CEO of Maker Media, all centered on her.

What Keynes Knew About Bitcoin
I wish the "about" page for projects like these had more information. For example, why was this library created and by whom? What does it offer that others don't? Etc. I want to learn more about the problem it's solving even though I have no interest in the code, and I'm sure I'm not alone.
One of the primary factors that enabled Google to stay great was their ability to crawl and index the ever growing web at a rate no other company could.

There are two options for this, one is online and the other is offline handwriting recognition.

Online is when you have info about the strokes (e.g. writing on a tablet or on a HTML5 canvas), offline is when you don't anything other than the image.

Online is mostly solved, offline is not working well yet. Deep learning will certainly help accelerating progress.

I'm working on a prototype that extracts (and transcribes) handwriting info from PDF documents (like forms).
This is really solid advice when looking at it backwards too--if you, as a founder, cannot produce reasonable and compelling answers to these questions, you don't know what you're doing, where you're going, or how to actually get there.

I wasn't making an argument for Windows' advantages, though there are many. To list a few: modern display server and compositing window manager that can handle multi-gpu multi-monitor seamlessly, doesn't explode when you add or remove a display, can recover from graphics driver crashes and install and use graphics drivers without a reboot, and doesn't drop all your windows while doing so.

When people say you can't game on Linux, they mean it the same way one might say you can't game on a phone: it isn't impossible, it's just that you'll have a worse experience, and there's nothing Linux offers to them to justify the extra hoops to jump through and other downsides. If you've made "gamer" part of your identity, that's probably pretty important to you.

But my point was really, who gives a shit how Windows does it? Aim to be better than Windows where you can instead of trying to offer a cheap Windows knock-off.

And honestly, package managers don't fix anything, they just cover it up with automation and bring a lot of limitations along. For instance, you can't install 2 different versions of the same application (unless the package repository is specifically designed so you can do that for certain applications), you can't install applications to alternate paths, and you can't move applications around. Until AppImage came along Linux had no concept of a portable application, which is usually a pretty trivial thing in Windows.

But instead of saying "wait, why are we installing applications this way? can we just do that differently and eliminate the problem?" they went ahead and wrote a complicated centralized database that tracks nearly every file on the system and its relationships just to try and avoid issues that, frankly, have no reason to exist in the first place. DOS had tons of applications and not a goddamned one of them required a package manager to get installed.

Sorry if this is a little ranty, it just irks me that so often OSS developers (Linux Desktop devs especially) seem to choose the most complex possible answer to any given problem.

Of course you can leave the path empty.

A better way to look at it is how w3.org defines it:

> path : Void | segment [ / path ]

Notice how the slash is in the optional part.

> Alcohol is shilled so hard in America. It's disgusting. I honestly don't know why it isn't more strictly regulated.

Total drunk behaviour or total abstention are both extreme and symptoms of other, deeper issues. Alcohol can amplify existing issues, but there's also plenty of people who drink moderately, in family settings, without getting wasted or violent.
I can't work with headphones on, and I get distracted by people talking, or by walking by me, or almost anything else. I find it far more effective to work at home. As noted previously, everyone is different.

I find it funny that there is a claim that Trump speaks like an algorithm though - he appears to speak the same way regardless of whether he is in a national debate, or ordering a hamburger. HRC, on the other hand, had various voices which were probably developed by study groups and psychologists. I honestly could not believe that the lady speaking in empty political-speak at the debates and on TV/radio shows was the same lady in the leaked tapes from her wall street speeches where she showed typical, human interactions with her questioners.

Don't be so sure. Einstein, in spite of all his achievements, was human. He made mistakes and misunderstood some things. Overall he understood physics more deeply that any of his time, but from his point of view maybe it came so naturally that he never felt he had totally "earned" his recognition. That said, he was known for humility, but that doesn't mean it was disingenuous.

Isn't that the point of "impostor syndrome"? No matter where you stand, your measurement of your ability is subjective to whatever standards you personally hold, which may be different from an objective assessment? And maybe there is no true objectivity? Maybe it's all... relative?
For me it was the opposite. When I had an office, people could come in and shoot the shit. I literally, knew the name of every single person in the office, their children's names, and their hobbies. Those personal relationships are really important when there's a tough situation.

In an open office, every conversation is public, therefore you simply cannot get to know a person.
Realistically, the value of the chain pre-fork should equal the value of the two chains post fork.
