I'm asking you to give 1 100th of a shit that you do about a closeted gay celebrity's past sex life about the vast fucking tragedies that continue to happen today in the USA - let alone across the world.

But that's not nearly as fun as jumping on a bandwagon against a wealthy famous person, is it? You can even pretend to be a little bit of a feminist or racially sensitive.

The facts call out the hypocrisy:

IN VIRGINIA FROM 2004-2013:

— Nearly 4,500 children were married.

— Over 200 children married at age 15 or younger.

— About 90% of the underage spouses are girls; and among the youngest spouses (15 or younger), there are 13 times more underage brides than grooms.

— Children as young as 13 (and pregnant) were granted marriage licenses.

— Nearly 90% of these marriages were to an adult spouse, and between 30-40% of those adults were 21 or older, and sometimes decades older.

These figures shocked us, too:

— 13: Number of children under age 15 married to spouses more than 20 years older

— 25: Number of 15-year-olds married to spouses more than 10 years older

— 47: Number of 16-year-olds married to spouses more than 14 years older

No, it will just be illegal. It will still be useful for those who are willing to be illegal.

The trick for the government will not be creating regulations or prohibitions. The trick will be enforcement.

Have you tried volunteering? It might make you feel a little bit less lonely, and a little more wanted for helping other people.

You sound like you're experiencing some isolating emotions for the first time... living in the big city can be isolating and alienating for everyone. Not just techies.

You're not a pariah... it's just Seattle.
No accountant, but here is an explanation:

Say I open a sauna in a desert. Probably not going to pay any rent, probably not going to make any money. Under
zaroth's suggested way of looking at the situation this something like $0 debt, $0 asset.

Say I open a sauna in a luxurious ski resort. Now maybe I have some huge 'debt' of rent * lease lifetime; but I also have a productive asset worth some hopefully large (the right to put the sauna somewhere it will get customers).

If we only account for the debt only, we are at some level asserting that opening the sauna in the desert was a better bet because the rent is lower. This is clearly stupid, the rent is half of a transaction where we are claiming value.

If the business owner puts the upcoming lease payments on their books as a liability, then to keep the picture clear they should also be adding a productive asset to the books that represents their valuable location. If they are operating a rational business, it is likely that the asset added is equal to or greater than the liability.
In the case of SingularityNET, AI agents are accessible and composable. They can interact with other agents, or act in unison to form larger, more complex agents. The market incentivizes development and maturity of both the system and the individual agents. This is a killer feature if you ask me. There will be a great number of already-useful agents available upon launch of SingularityNET, to kick-start the service's ability to provide tangible value.

However, you're right that most of these projects fail to deliver any value. Many projects are riding the hype-train, and many more are outright scams. However, the example I named is none of those.

Edit: I should add that a big problem of centralized markets is that nobody wants to put all of their eggs in one basket. Take Second Life for example: In SL, your digital avatar and assets are siloed into that world. You cannot transfer them to the next great virtual world. This is conceptually similar to the standardization debates. Anyone can make their own protocol, but if there are profit motives behind one, the industry will be reluctant to adopt. Standardization takes a lot of time, trust, and debate. And for good reason!

With decentralized marketplaces, standards are not quite as important. An implementation can be as fluid as an app, and the cost of replacing one interface/implementation with another is much lower than the cost of standardization. The internal workings of the marketplace itself can be altered with a democratic vote.

This is all theoretical, we have yet to see these ideas produce real returns. But the killer feature is that people have more incentives to invest their resources toward adopting the platform, and that itself is a tangible value, as long as the adoption of the platform itself creates value in other ways.
> I've been trying to give back by trying to find ways to teach and get people interested in electronics

I feel like using tech as a means to connect with people who dislike all the tech being brought into Seattle may not be the best way to go.

When i go out with friends (and friends of friends) here in Seattle, the topics always drift to tech and work because that's the common ground for everyone. It's kind of annoying to me and it's something i'm passionate about. I can imagine why people would be somewhat hostile if they don't enjoy tech and that's all that half the people they meet want to talk about.
Have you found yourself hiding that you work in tech? Do you ever lie about what field you work in so that people won't be hostile to you? If so, what do you say you do? I'm really curious about this because usually people lie to make themselves look richer, so it would be interesting to get the opposite perspective.
I think another good example of "observed types are not necessarily the intended types" is a Text parameter (unicode in python2, str in python3). The actual intent might be Iterable[Text].

In git.git, there are 7 commits with @github.com authors, last one from 2014.

(I hope it just means GitHub folks are trying to blend into the crowd by using personal addresses, or something...)
Whoa! You seem like a very enthusiastic person interested in sharing your knowledge and expertise, and watching said knowledge blossom, manifested in new ideas. That's pretty neat!

Have you tried looking for any meetups that draw people of a similar mindset? Microsoft has a "Maker Garage" which may have some openings to get 'tinkerers' in to teach to youngsters. What about schools? Have you tried asking if you can present to a class or two about Electronics as a future career path?

What about electronics do you like? What is your "formal education" (not that it matters, but I'm curious as to where you found your love for electronics).

Manufacturers are obsessed with the word "proprietary".

For that reason alone, they tend to keep their drivers closed-source, which means that manufacturer must keep that driver up to date without any help from the outside world.

This works with Windows until a new version of Windows is released that breaks functionality. This does not work with Linux, which is monolithic, and requires drivers to be built into the kernel.
I would hope they're not dumb enough to think that's a good idea. That trick only works once.
I was thinking of REITs (https://www.investopedia.com/terms/r/reit.asp) but in actuality, they work a little differently.
"I am still really puzzled over exactly why Peter Thiel so so hated."

Honestly, it's because he's a jackass. Don't forget his absurdly libertarian stances regarding regulation, to the point where he funded studies that completely ignored the ethics/regulations around human medical testing. He's also espoused the views that women being allowed to vote is a bad thing, and that people like him should just run the place as a cabal.

"So that leaves one final option: The reason that people hate Thiel is because he made enemies in the Liberal press, they smeared him relentlessly and people internalized this without doing their own independent thinking or research."

No. Assuming that people don't agree with what you think simply because they haven't "done the research" is extremely uncivil. I have done the research, and I think he's a jackass.

"I feel the tech industry is now a worse, less free place when demonization of this type has become so endemic."

The only way you could think that is if you don't feel the rest of us have the right to express our opinions.
When you claim to be a senior engineer with 20 years of experience and you don't know what ES6 is then you don't deserve a job.
Ah that matches what I have heard. HFT/HF is paying up but overall, as someone who is coming up on making the decision, it's hard to see the upsides of finance.

Randomly accepting money from strangers is a bit of a compliance nightmare. You don’t want to chair a charity that winds up having received donations from sanctioned persons.
I'll disagree slightly with posters who say that your arms should be straight 180 degrees at the bottom of the movement, since you want to keep your shoulders engaged throughout; a slight bend through the elbow is best, I think.

But by slight I mean 170 degrees or something, not 80 or whatever this guy is doing.
Not all debt is created equal.

If you are opening an airline, you need to buy aircraft (amongst many other things). (Commercial) aircraft are extremely expensive but generate generate value long after they are acquired. It is a lot cheaper to incur devt by leasing those planes than it is to buy them outright.

Personal debt is different, in most cases, and is a lot closer to the reality of your statement. I’m spending about $11,000 for our wedding, all inclusive. I paid for that with a credit card. I can’t make revenue off of that wedding outright (though I guess it can become an asset if an epic YouTube video comes out of it and becomes a viral sensation that survives the test of time), so that debt isn’t useful. But I made a risk calculation that me paying for everything upfront and paying for it later is more important than waiting the n years it would take to save for that wedding and pay everything in cash. That decision _could_ bite me in the ass in a few years when IT is 100% automated by ML/AI putting the cloud into the blockchain, but I made that decision assuming that that wouldn’t happen. :-)
My theory is that the baker would use ready-made circular nets, made of a rim and four pieces of string attached to it and at their center where they cross.

Then they would simply lay the net on the dough before letting it rise or before baking it. The bread expanding sideways when rising would first hold the rim into place and make the straight strings taunt, which would then leave their mark on the bread.

No slow and complicated tying, no unexplained lateral groove, and an easy way to ensure that each loaf is the same size while also making convenient slices.

But either way, if peeps are interested in this, I'm game to start a community somewhere for this, been thinking about this for a while:

"The Brave browser provides an ad-free YouTube video experience. It also enables a direct monetary relationship between the content creator and their audience."

Is Google party to this? And if not, how is this sustainable model?

Honestly I hadn't looked into this browser previously, but I don't understand what their value proposition is, beyond handwavey promises that crypto-currency utility tokens and some future machine-learning developments can get around the ad fraud problem.

But if they need to build this out by subverting YouTube's advertising and revenue flow and replacing it with their own, that is not going to last.
Pretty sure that specific place wouldn't have care how eastern she had been, if she had had 'Harvard' written somewhere. They most likely had someone else in mind and were just wasting your wife's time.
Thats completely meaningless. I've got that byline on 4 different websites. There is one link in the entire post. So because it deserves depth, he does the opposite?

There are thousands of 'publishers' like this - I don't believe he's qualified to claim the industry is broken. He can't see anything from a macro perspective.
Not trying to bend you away, but I'm frankly shocked by your position. Are you locked in Amazonville?

Did you reach out to places like http://sodomakerspace.com to try and teach?

There are also places to work that are all about contribution - Vulcan Inc. (where I work now) has a really strong philanthropy bent.
He's of the opinion that university is a waste of time and has gone so far as paying people to drop out. This isn't for people who are going into trades and might strictly not need a university education, but for people who he thinks should go on to found technical, medical, and engineering startups.

I'm of the opinion that university is good for everyone, even people who don't strictly need it for their jobs. Democracy only works if you have an educated public that values critical thinking.
Ask HN: Why do I keep seeing the same ad on YouTube?
I get that this may be targeted and based on my profile, but I block js by default and immediately avoid any wix powered site.

If you are Google, it's not that difficult to get I will never adopt "that javascript hell". What's worse is that it's the single ad I've been able to watch in the last two weeks.

- for me : it's annoying

- for Wix : it's a waste of money

- for Google : I'm starting to avoid Youtube

Why apps ask for blanket permissions: have you ever tried using a cordova library? My own app has to ask for storage access just to get reliable sound output...

The deeper answer is that economic incentives don't encourage minimal permissions, even if there's no malicious intent.
Shouldn't they give priority to unencrypted ones since they're ostensibly more likely to be publicly exposed?
So did you go to a community college and offer to teach classes? Honestly, that sounds like a really fulfilling way to spend your time, I really doubt that you couldn't find somewhere that would let you teach something if you tried... even if it's just a community center.

EDIT: Also, if you want to connect with non techies... maybe do something else... it's unreasonable to expect to only be surrounded by techies at all times?

There are various low-code tools that greatly reduce the complexity of writing CRUD apps.They're good on their own, but Some of their possible tasks may be helped by deep learning: automatic UI generation. information management and search in complex systems. knowledge reuse(translating and recommending knowledge/code). Building semantic systems to help with some of the verification.

And from another angle: deep learning favors big business. so we'll see more consolidation. so less CRUD will need to be written.
Had a phone interview with SpaceX recently, they do have some web dev positions: http://www.spacex.com/careers/list
I have never understood, not from the very early 90s and the very early days of the graphical web and online advertising, WHY anyone ever accepted the proposal from advertisers that they pay either based on clicks or based on completed sales or things like that. It is insane. It is based on a fundamental lack of understanding of what advertisement IS and where its value lies.

Advertisers have, in my opinion, been getting a free ride for decades. They get brand recognition for free. They get goodwill for free. They get customers who know they even exist for free. They get knowledge of their product in front of customers for free. They don't pay a cent for any of it. And content providers just let this happen, in exchange for being paid based on driving clicks.

Do you think television networks would have said "sure, OK" if advertisers proposed they only pay for TV spots based on how many people showed up at the store and said they saw the ad and it was what specifically made them go to the store? Do you think radio stations would have bent over and said 'sure, sounds like a cool idea' to advertisers wanting to only pay based on how many customers came in and knew their jingle? Would newspapers have accepted only getting paid based on how many people said they saw the ad in the paper?

OF COURSE NOT. Because every single one of those customers who 'glided over it' or 'didn't see it' or didn't 'act' on it was influenced by it. And it is wrong to give that away for free. When an ad appears on a website a user is visiting of their own free will and desire, the simple mechanics of how the human brain works creates a vague positive impression for the brand advertised even when no one clicks at all. Advertisers know this. It's how they sell themselves to businesses. And they rely on content providing sites being either blissfully or willfully ignorant of this fact.

I can't help but chuckle at the timing, though. Print publications shut down text in deference to video because advertisers want it right at the same time the only video platform that is viable or ever likely to be barring a very large lawsuit for anticompetitive practices, YouTube, running at gigantic losses for more than a decade guaranteeing competition is impossible, has decided it is disgusted by the prospect of large numbers of people making a reasonable living from producing video content. They want to reform themselves in a more traditional more centralized model where a small number of tightly controlled producers of content will get rich, and the rest will either die off or be starved. Eric Schmidt touched on the idea that he sees Google's role in forcibly controlling (he would call it 'guiding') human culture as very important. He is rich, therefore he is Better and it is right for him to take the reigns and protect the seething masses from themselves. The same old mentality Old Money has operated on for centuries coming to the nouveau riche and technorati.

A mass migration of advertisers to YouTube will make Googles continued claims of a desperate lack of interested advertisers seem more and more strained as time goes on...
Amazon has built a theme park that looks like Seattle inside of Seattle. Microsoft brought gentrification, but Amazon is clearly driving a totally different level of separation.
My point below that is that those large publishers increase the amount of revenue available. So they take a percent, but the entire pie would be smaller without them.

With double digit growth, supply isn't fixed and its a common idea that supply (from an advertiser perspective) is effectively unlimited.
I've seen claims of $1M base salaries in NYC, and seven figure bonuses are certainly possible (in HFT). $300K+ (incl. bonus) is no problem, but ML is less of a factor than FPGA and C++ experience.

That's one of the areas that I've considered or entertained about, interpreting telemetry data, visualizing it, or even delivering it in real time. I am not as familiar with satellite companies as I am with companies that create launch systems. Do you know of any that would be good to look for?

As an aside, I would probably need relocation assistance, and that would be a desirable point to have for a company.
I have the Bragi Dash Pros. While they are much more expensive, they sound much better than the Headphone and offer a really good fit. They also pair really easy with my iPhone and other Bluetooth devices. (Not W1 easy, but good enough.) Tap the right side to initiate pairing, open the app, pair them in Settings then pair the LE sensors through the app.
"Both an amazon echo and an android phone require a key phrase to activate."

But thanks to the devices closed nature, their manufacturers have the exclusive ability to remotely modify their workings so that the device could listen without the "owner" consent. This assuming it hasn't already been done and a single packet hidden into an update push can trigger undetectable monitoring. Technically it would be trivial to implement and trivial to turn off with another update so that it would remain undetectable in case of device hardware/firmware/software inspection.

SmartTV also should be treated as dangerous.
