Spanish is definitely more easy to grasp than French. There are a few traps in the road and many variants, but phonetically is much simpler. You can recite any text in standard spanish correctly in a day even if you do not understand a word of what you are saying. The main problem in this sense is the local vocabulary and idioms. American spanish is extremely diverse and rich in terms and meanings.

american idiocracy from people that probably never traveled.

1. allow cabs to run mostly unregulated (besides the regulated monopoly part)

2. cab service is crap because drivers rent the taxi license from someone who broker rented taxi licenses. its mind boggling how far the drivers are from the meddalions.

3. startup breaks tons of laws, including the one making cabs a bad monopoly and abuse user data left and rigth.

4. americans thing it is the best thing ever.

wake up and realize that the taxi monopoly was the cause. uber is just trying to replace one monopoly with another. because being at the top of that monopoly is very lucrative.

the only good thing uber did was prove without doubt that taxi monopoly laws were bad and didnt serve the drivers or the community. but absolutely nobody is willing to even consider talking about it. its all PR about "uber saved mankind".
If you want something stronger than a six digit passcode, you always have the option of setting a strong alphanumeric password instead.

Settings > Passcode > Change Passcode > Passcode Options > Custom Alphanumeric Code

If you only use numerals, you can go longer than six digits and still use the numeric keypad to authenticate.
Why can't we put these people behind bars. What is going on, is this not really a crime in societies eyes.
What a wonderful story. Life is short, and your loved ones are what ultimately gives it a meaning.
First of all equity doesnt mean stake, you can absolutely trade equity for cash, and your payroll can absolutely be a large stake in the business.

What it does mean is that your stake is not directly 1:1 tied to the business success. This goes back to gambling, if you are the house and take money on every deal, you have a stake in deals continuing to happen.

You are right that your pay is based on many factors, and so would your equity.

So I disagree with your summation, and I think its improper to pretend that equity is the best way to get paid and to care about what you are building (especially when you believe in a product but risk is high.)

To your second point, you can argue (and I think successfully) that having more of a direct stake in a business will increase your personal investment, but that is literally the concept of ownership.

If you think the current practices are bullshit I do believe starting your own highly successful business is the correct approach; you get what you want and if you are successful enough, the industry will change behind you.

I did not say "you should work as if you have a greater investment than you do" during any part of my comments, simply that if you dont care about the product you will not produce quality work.

If someone isnt paying you what you are worth, you are not going to produce quality work.
Player elimination is uncommon in so-called "eurogames". These tend to be some kind of race for victory points. "ameritrash" games revel in drama, frequently feature dice rolls and very random outcomes. Both approaches have their fans.
I preferred to eat meat every day since I remember. I tried once lately for a couple of days to not eat meat. Mainly eating tofu as a substitute with some lentil.

On third day of such a diet I was feeling very bad. I was feeling weak, nauseous and a bit shaky. I tried to eat sugar in form of candy bars. It passed after I have eaten a few sandwiches with lots of meat.

Was it wrong what I did? Is my body programmed to digest meat and can't easily switch to other sources of protein? When I'm not eating meat I feel weaker.
Have you ever spoken to somebody who actually lived under a different system? You will not like what they tell you.
I would hazard a guess it is only the ones you hear of. The #MeToo campaign showed that sexual harassment, assault and misconduct affects all demographics.
My mother-in-law lives in an active community where old people live. The other day I had gone to visit her and she was playing bridge with a dozen people. I thought to myself "There is a 1000 years of history here in this table". It was a humbling thought.
In the US, the accused have very few rights to continued employment unless they are unionized, or part of the permanent civil service, or have an exceptional personal contract providing such rights. That's what “at will employment” means.
Kind of makes sense, it probably recognizes it because multiple relevant APIs are hit.
Unfortunately, for me personally this makes it impossible to trust the application.
>That doesn't mean every individual should feel the need to contribute...

You're reiterating what I said above.

>...outliers like that tend to be self weeding anyway; no reason to shame the individual over it.

I'm not sure what you mean or are implying with the "self-weeding" terminology.
It's acceptable in something like a lasagna, but the "chicken" fillets leave a lot to be desired.
I recently read an article about India being afraid of embracing Western marriage basically for fear that it would lead to the elderly not being cared for.

It's more complicated than that, but it feels like it should be a real concern as India westernizes.

Breaches of an employer's code of conduct are not something that get assessed in court.

As to why this stuff doesn't get dealt with in public? "They all asked not to be identified, citing fears over the investor’s history of filing lawsuits and concerns that he could wield his influence in the tech industry to ruin their careers. Earlier this year, Pishevar got a U.K. court to prohibit a local newspaper from reporting on his arrest following a rape allegation against him. London police investigated and didn’t charge him."
> Automated refactoring in the IDE won't update the annotations properly.

Right. There are always tradeoffs.

> And the hiring problem is the same.

I don't think so. A Java programmer can be trained in JML in a day.

> Be that as it may, I thought we agreed that we frequently do want to do the functions-and-values kind of reasoning about our programs, even if we only do it for the "easy parts".

Sure, but pure "functions" can be reasoned about as functions even in Java.

> If there's an adequate solution in that narrow sub-discipline then we can. If the cheapest, most familiar approach works then there's no reason to look at more expensive approaches.

It's neither the cheapest nor the most familiar. Virtually no formally verified programs encode correctness properties in types. Contracts are far more common.

> I'm not against exploring more radical approaches

It's not more radical. If you look at the programs of formal methods conferences, you'll find that the typed-FP approach is in the minority. I think that part of the problem is that some FP people have isolated themselves in a bubble that they sometimes forget how small it is.
Sure, but its also in their interest to push that narrative. Doesnt mean its wrong, just that its not as simple as a neutral observer. That and when ever any prediction is right, there are always tons of people that predicted it as a result of just large numbers. I think they wohld rather just convince investors that their program is the only quality accel. around. If they can, it means more funding for their investments and less for their competitors...
It is only "newsworthy" if the person has a recognizable name, which generally means they are upper income.

The vast majority of sexual misconduct reports made to HR will never be reported in the media.

If you are a wealthy coastal elite you can just apologize for sexual misconduct and seek "therapy" at a luxury spa. Every morning you can enjoy shade-grown coffee and cage-free eggs from a small family-owned farm in Mendocino county...afterwards you can attend a short session with a therapist before attending yoga.

why downvote? This is literally a day planner for Kevin Spacey right now. See Harvey Weinstein being charged with rape? He will get off (tee hee) with a short statement of regret. This is your world, you can't downvote it away!

What rights? This isn't criminal charges (usually). This is multiple people accusing him, some of those aren't even victims. A company doesn't need to wait for criminal charges. You have no right to be hired.
It helps when the folks down behind the counter at KFC, or on the factory floor, or at the dry-cleaners get groped by their boss and want to report him to his boss.
I still don't understand the fascination with flatpak, snap, etc. In my experience the package managers for Debian, Fedora, and Arch Linux work just fine. I really would prefer not to have 20 different minor versions of the same packages installed because the maintainers were lazy and used fat packages. It may be arguable to use fat packages for games (e.g., to support Steam) because it's my understanding that they have the most quirks of all programs. Nix and Guix do intrigue me though as a potential replacement of the various Linux package managers.
People coming forward is step one. Those people feeling like they can go through with pressing charges and going to court is step two.
The largest power drain in an LCD/LED screen is the backlight and that has to be running regardless of which color is being displayed. This would only benefit OLED screen (which doesn't have a normal backlight) which are pretty much only used on high-end phones and TVs. Unlikely to make a significant impact in energy use, and furthermore any amount of energy savings would likely be lost in the extra amount of black ink needed to print out pages.

That is probably more a case of bad nutritional choices, and not the fault of the soy products themselves. Most highly processed "health foods" are anything but. They're usually loaded with sugar.

Instead of trying to replicate an omnivorous diet by substituting all the meat you ate with substitutes, you should try branching out into an actual primarily vegetarian diet instead. Instead of substitute beef in your hamburger, try a portobello mushroom instead.

You sound like one of those paranoiacs who rail on about "chemicals in food!", without actually knowing what you're talking about.
Thanks! NanaGram’s made a big difference for them and I’m glad we gave up nights/weeekends to build it. The photos also give us more stuff to talk about during visits.

One other interesting unanticipated side effect is that we built the service to let your (approved) family all send photos into the same phone number for the same delivery. There’s a web UI that you can log into and see all the photos. You also get a text notification when new photos are sent in by someone else.

Now my siblings and I have a private social network of sorts. There’s stuff on there I wouldn’t share to the world at large, but would with my family. It’s a good way to keep updated with what’s going on with my family too.
#codevember 2017
I'm surprised the use of BI tools that integrate with Excel has not come up in this discussion. For example, Oracle EssBase (part of Hyperion) is comparatively inexpensive, and it is used in Excel via their SmartView plugin. You get all the power of Excel with live data, and flexible data models driven by an OLAP datastore. It has revolutionized our month-end and commissions process (now takes a fraction of the time), while still allowing the flexibility of Excel.
That right there is what's wrong with US.

Someone makes a claim, another person loses their job. It may be true, or not. No recourse. Start the spiral of poverty, destitution, and homelessness. And they had better hope they get off that spiral before too long.

It IS a problem when being "shunned by society" entails in living under a bridge or in a tent city.
not sure about this as Alpine is kind of x86 only. yes it has some armhf and ppc64 versions however it seems x86 is the main target to be run on.

on the other hand, debian, openwrt etc are built for multi-arch all the time.
You're confusing separate processes with very different difficulty levels. A criminal case requires a high standard of evidence and it's likely that it wouldn't be proven beyond a reasonable doubt (which is generally considered a feature given the dangers of false imprisonment).

What you're talking about is more in the realms of civil cases and business cases, where the burden of proof is smaller. In this case, if he felt that this was untrue he could sue under the existing libel laws. The reason that doesn't happen in most of these cases is that there actually is a fair amount of proof but it just hadn't been acted on and the person involved doesn't want to actually drag that evidence into the public scrutiny of a trial.
I think it's a long way off. We can grow proteins, but there's a long damn way from that to actual muscle. Current lab-grown "meat" is completely bland and textureless, because it was never an actual muscle.
What laws did he break, what evidence is there, where's the police reports?
I hope we'll see many more victims come forward, until such time that people people like you no longer use scare-quotes around the word "accusations". That would be a leap forward. For justice, for the victims, and for grammar (these are real accusations–the doubt you're trying to emphasise is already built-in).

Most of the accusations we've recently heard of also speak of actions that aren't crimes. Criminal law allows you to give as many sex toys to your interns as you want. Employment law, and common decency, are something different. They also don't require the standard of proof you're demanding.
I love HN: oddly-specific feedback to an oddly specific request :)
yeah I get that. But it's not unusual for a man to use it in a formal setting.
"Meat analog"? "Meat equivalent"?

True, but I'm not sure birthrate is the only or main culprit here. I assume more and more people live far from their parents. Besides, very old people have lost their partner, siblings, and possibly some of their children (like the first person depicted in the article).
I think the effect of QSBS is quite small. It has only really come into force with Obama's initiatives in 2009+2013 and it seems that few people know of it and understand it.

Unlike 83b, not many people are even aware of QSBS. For example, it isn't mentioned at all in the 3rd edition of Venture Deals. I've been in a few Silicon Valley workshops (Morrison Foerster and also Berkeley Law) and neither mentioned QSBS. YC doesn't seem to provide any guidance. I see very little on it from SV law firms. I've asked and I get a recital of the basic mechanics. First Round Search doesn't mention it.

https://search.firstround.com/search?query=qsbs

Anyways, I've been looking into QSBS myself. I don't know why QSBS isn't a bigger thing, especially since the maximum capital gains rate increased to 20%.

https://g.foolcdn.com/editorial/images/433057/maximum-capita...

I don't think startups are handling this well for either their early employees (which includes founders themselves) or for any individual angel investors who could qualify. Empirically this lack of interest in QSBS is the case. But I don’t know why it is the case.
Trades are not taxed in either case. Capital gains are, for both bitcoin and forex.
No not really, this isn't generation for the sake of classification. It's generation in order to generate a dataset to train a new network that exhibits the characteristics of the network in the paper that can be used quickly and in a more general fashion.
Scientific claims are not necessities. I'm not saying I can prove consciousness is a biological process only that its overwhelming reasonable to suppose so.

Emergence is a result of causal interactions between parts of a system being different than the internal causal interaction within one part. It doesnt mean "complexity" and it really has nothing to do with a machine.

The oscillating electric field acquires no new causal interactions as the program complexity increases. Adding more H20 to a single H20 creates new causal interactions (eg. wetness).

> That's because the machine has no receptors for the comprising molecules - not because it has no thoughts

Right, so you're supposing a contrary entirely bizarre ontological view: that thoughts are something independent of a biological process.

Of all the known things in the universe which think, to remove their nerves is to destroy their capacity to think. I cannot see any reason to suppose thinking is not merely their activity.

>>> If they were suddenly young again- they could go out, make new connections, start over.

I'm not so sure about that. I've met a great many elderly people who want nothing more than to rewind the clock. Given the opportunity they don't want to meet new people or do new things. They fear such experiences. That may be as symptom of being older and more frail, buy any answers to the problem wont come from trying to transform the old into the young. I don't think throwing technology at the problem will help. Nearly every elderly person I've met would much rather have a daily visit from a younger (50s) non-threatening person than even 24/7 video chat with their families.
TOP-15 RESOURCES AND SITES TO LEARN GOLANG FROM
I don't doubt for a moment that there are lots of legitimate complaints, and people (especially the rich/powerful) who have acted with impunity for years and fully deserve to be held to account. However, the current culture of insta-trial by social and/or mass media, and the assumption of guilt on the basis of unproven allegations, troubles me greatly. Anyone remember the Salem witch trials?

Due process, standards of evidence, and so on were invented for some good reasons, and on this particular topic we seem to be prepared to ignore all that. Sadly, at the moment I don't see how we're going to restore some kind of balance between the rights of the accuser and the accused.
I was thinking about what would make them better and I may have solved it (in my own head, at least).

First, there needs to be a system where all single people who are looking for a real relationship (not a hookup) are on it. The system needs to know the top 5 traits a potential partner should have, as well as when you're likely to be free. Then the system automates the rest and sends you, via text, out for a coffee/drink. The rest is up to how you jive together and it may or may not lead to something more.

There'd have to be some ML involved to capture the physical attributes you would prefer in a partner so that you never meet someone you're likely to be unattracted to (depending on how much looks matter to you), but the general idea is to have a enormous localized userbase, and pretty much automate the rest. No more slogging.
Same here. I feel uncomfortable in informal meetings, and having a clear set of rules (in a board game) makes me much more comfortable, and I gradually relax.
I love this! I use the Terminal and VIM every day and really enjoy tools that fit within that workflow. I didn't even know about this project when I started building a similar tool (with the same name!).
It is being reported now when it wasn't before. Rose McGowan was publicly accusing Weinstein (not by name but it was known) of rape for a long time before the media would report it.

There have also been several high profile media people who have been fired for sexual misconduct so that has probably made the upper level management in the media afraid to continue covering up these stories.
Conversely, whilst it may become harder to attract talent from outside the UK, UK talent may become cheaper if the pound stays at its post-brexit-vote lows.

UK tech graduates are increasingly looking outside finance for jobs these days. Combine this with the reduction in the size of the City of London and there could be lots of talent on the market within the UK.

[IMHO this doesn't balance out the harm caused by leaving the EU, but might offer a glimmer of hope - we can still be attractive as an outsourcing hub.]
Our niece and nephew picked up Zombicide: Black Plague, and we love it. Just enough D&D style equipment and effects to feel good, fully cooperative mechanics so everyone is a team vs the spawns, and a chance of getting eliminated individually / team losing if things go awry or there's horrible card draws.

All the good aspects in one.
As much as I enjoy piling on Uber, this seems to have nothing to do with them, and is just there for clickbait.
Counterpoint in the UK, making defamatory statements makes you personally liable and in court the burden of proof is on you, you need to prove your claims.

In the US, you'd have to prove that they are lying which is obviously impossible.

I don't see how that has anything to do with "installing linux on a pebble"
Have you tried to see how that's a useful practice or are you just angry at the name? It is indeed a form of testing, specifically failure/latency injection testing in production systems. It allows you to test hypotheses and fallback scenarios, for instance: you might think that a particular dependency (remote call) is optional and should not affect the availability of your service, running a chaos experiment lets you verify that.
