I haven’t been in the US for many years but would certainly expect to arrive at a different opinion when talking to actual people, however that is not the opinion that the elections reflect.

Either half the population are white supremacists or they’re simply too stupid to not vote for white supremacists, which isn’t any better than actually being one. It’s not like all the people who supported Hitler literally wanted to kill millions of jews, still they supported it.
Sounds really interesting. I'll have to find some more info on this guy.
|Too bad most programmers are allergic to collective labor action.

Because there are plenty of real-world examples in other industries of the end state of "collective labor action", and it's generally not pretty.

We as an industry really do not want to emulate that model.
I would say the current rules are not socialized in any sort of good faith method. Certainly not in a way that provides transparency of costs and effectiveness. Nor in any way how a socialized universal healthcare system would approach it.
US health care expenses per head are on the order of 2-3 times every other country on the planet.

Wen you're that far out of alignment, something is seriously wrong.

The US could scrap Medicare and use the savings to fund European style healthcare for everyone. You still get the option to top up with private health care, which can be pricey - $150 a month for a family, but there's always a base line to fall back to.
It'll surely work this time!
That's probably just what I need. Thank you!
And then lie about their ability to fill it.
I'll second George Saunders! I highly recommend his "CivilWarLand in Bad Decline" (a novella plus a collection of shorts). I have not heard him compared to DFW before. Maybe I should give DFW another try.

If Bitcoin price tanks, it is 100% certain that Coinbase will either go down, or will lack requisite fiat. Better to have Bitcoin in your own wallet, and have more options to exchange for other cryptocurrencies.

"Mastering the Complex Sale: How to Compete and Win when the Stakes are High" by Jeff Thull. When selling enterprise software, you have to convince many decision makers, there is often no point person to sell to. You may not know some of them even exist until its too late. One needs a process to organize such sales undertaking. This book talks about it.
Tangent: why refer to these people as "hackers" and not "thieves"/"criminals"/" embezzlers"/...?
Off-topic: That website sets font size in `vw` (viewport width percentage). This is horrible: Text is way too large on maximized desktop browsers, and zooming the page doesn't change that, but only causes a weird jump in position.
I agree it's industry by industry. Your girlfriend's experience is at another end of the scale from mine. Every enterprise software company I've ever worked at, sales has both written and presented proposals. There's very deep subject matter expertise required to do so and I can't think of any occasion when sales didn't own that entire aspect of work. These were 50-1,000 employee firms selling complex . More established companies had standardized contracts and larger legal teams so less for sales to do; smaller ones were more bespoke and in those cases sales was heavily involved.

(One particularly memorable job had me finding clients, pitching ideas, writing proposals, negotiating and closing the deal, drafting and negotiating contracts, and then managing the actual project itself for $1m+ fixed price bespoke software consulting engagements. I'd have sold organs to have someone like your girlfriend on the team.)

I'm fortunate to have done both engineering and sales in my career. I'd like to say it's given me sympathy for both sides; mostly I've always just wished I was doing the other role at any given time :)
It sounds like you're depressed, possibly you're in a rut. You should definitely exercise (I know, easier said than done). What's helped me? Going for an hour long walk everyday (I don't do it everyday like I ought to but even 3x per week has tremendous benefits). Walking is enough. Don't feel like you have to change your whole routine, just try walking 3x per week for two weeks. I guarantee that you'll feel better. After that, reassess and see if you need to add/subtract other stuff to/from your routine.

Other things to experiment with:
Meditation, social life, meetups, weight-lifting, juicing, etc etc.

It is strange that you expect to be able to buy the server grade GPUs for GeForce series prices and are outraged when reality doesn't meet your expectations.

It strikes me as pretty awesome that the V100 is now available for only $3k in the Titan V, rather than ~$10k for the Tesla V100. I reckon you need to readjust your expectations.
If you seriously require the services of an ER, you're not going to be in a position where you want to spend time comparison shopping.
In software it is more true than any other industry. The software we develop has the power to be leveraged across all industries. Much like the wheel, it should not be constantly re-invented.

I truly feel like most software development should be done via autonomous software partnerships not unlike law firms. There would be so much less waste, and I imagine it would be a huge boost to the economy. We don't need any more eye-grabbing, social-media-connected, neopet apps people. Software engineers are building useless and inane shit because that's how incentives work under capitalism. It's a shame.
Google revenue: 89b in 2016

Facebook revenue: 28b in 2016

More than 30k of Google's 80k employees on LinkedIn have titles including either "Sales" or "Account" (Account Executive, Account Manager, etc.). For Facebook it's 9k out of 26k.

Facebook and google both sell user attention to advertisers. Exxon deploys vast engineering resources to extract and collect oil, but it would be weird to say that because they don't receive payment from their wells and refineries that they don't make sales

For what it's worth (anecdote incoming) I use a touchbar MBP with a Dell UP2414Q, which is driven using multi-stream transport. Effectively its panel is presented to the system as two separate displayport streams running daisy-chained over a single port. Once I found the right cable, everything worked fine. (The first cable was advertised with DP1.2 and MST support, but it would only operate in the legacy mode that dropped down to 30 Hz).

God forbid you try to use this with Windows though. Sometimes half of the screen cuts out, sometimes one side of it shifts by a couple hundred pixels (and wraps the right edge of the image around to a stripe down the middle of the screen), and god knows what other problems that I can't even remember. This was with a GTX 900 series GPU which is definitely "supported."

I used to have it hooked up to my Windows desktop since that's the fast computer with more storage and RAM, so it should be great for stuff like Lightroom. But since the screen doesn't work reliably, I moved that back to my MBP.

A friend with the same screen had identical issues on Windows and a similar solution. It's now on his wife's desk for her to plug her Macbook into.

Display signaling has gotten a lot more complicated than DVI/VGA were, and the reliability problems that have cropped up from that are present across the industry.
I've been/seen both sides of the coin. It's not quite that black and white in most of the organizations I've seen. Sales is pretty rough, it's a lot of slog through lead after lead. There's a fair bit of creative writing and targeting, generating social media buzz, networking at industry events and building product presence organically, as well as of course handling potential leads directly.

It can sometimes feel like you're chasing your tail and there can be many, many days or weeks even of drought where you've got little in actual sales to show for all your work. That's pretty demoralizing and whilst engineering can be similar (think failed or canned projects) the highs and lows of engineering don't even compare.

They're both very tough gigs and both involve long hours, but as some of the posters below are suggesting you might be in a poor job situation yourself. Engineering roles don't have to be like the life you're describing.
That's not how it works. Individual satoshis do not have a serial number. As soon as it goes through a mixer, you cannot definitively say which are stolen and which are legit.

Bitcoin's blockchain is just a ledger of amounts stored at addresses at points in time.

No. It is nothing to do with secure attention.

This is why Windows NT runs the log-on user interface, the screen saver, and the elevation consent UI on separate desktops that have restrictive ACLs disallowing interactive user processes from creating windows there.
No, you continue traveling at a safe passing speed until there's space to safely move to the right at let the faster vehicle pass. Just be courteous, basically, and don't play vigilante to "enforce" one rule (speed) while ignoring another (keep right except to pass, and the probably unwritten, pass quickly).

I certainly never said that speed limit plays no part in the equation, but I believe that safe speed for a given combination of vehicle and road and traffic conditions is much more significant than the legislative limit.

Your question works just as well when the example is reversed: if someone is blatantly disregarding lane discipline, why should I expect them to drive safely in any other regard (and why wouldn't I try to put as much distance between me and them as possible)?

200mph vehicle in this case is an asshole if:
a) she doesn't slow down and leave a safe distance between you and her in order to let you finish passing
b) she otherwise creates a dangerous situation from excessive relative speed, which would probably be the case most of the time if she's going that speed around other traffic
Sounds like the assumption is that the lack of focus means that the first password got sent to Slack? But it seems more likely that it was the second entry of the password that was sent to Slack, and it was just that the keyboard input was being buffered? (So the first password-enter eventually got processed, and then the second one got processed but after unlock.)
if coinbase isn't insured against that, that really does look like bitcoin is a long way from being in common use. ??
Is there data with that, or do paid customers generally not have a problem with it?

Open sourcing their work is a courtesy and not a right.
The only way to get widespread 24 hour urgent care in the US is to make it a billing code in the emergency room. There's often already 24 hour urgent care available in major urban centers.

Of course, this raises the question. Why isn't urgent care a billing code in small emergency departments?
Your joke is either not well received or over peoples heads, but I chuckled.
> proper following distances, all traveling 70mph

Hi. Welcome to Earth. It looks like you missed orientation.

Humans drive at different speeds, and usually follow too closely. We have recognized this species-wide problem, and are currently trying to build driving robots that will reduce the impact. Until they are ready, every collision you may see on the road was likely caused by a human driving non-optimally.

Therefore, rational drivers must presume that the other vehicles on the road may possibly behave irrationally, and therefore must introduce a safety margin for the incorrect behavior of other drivers in addition to the margin defined by their own capabilities.

Show me a train of 20 cars moving at 70 mph with less than 1 second of separation between them, and I'm just going to ease off the accelerator, and maybe look for my next rest stop, until those lunatics are far enough ahead that I'll possibly learn about their 6-vehicle pile-up early enough to detour around it. The only way that is optimal is if there are zero humans in it.

One of the ways consumers can push back on this is by becoming educated on health care practice. I would never have let a hospital give me a CT scan for a simple throat problem.

Then there are other issues that (supposedly) you have no control over. When I was hit on my bike, I refused the trip in the ambulance to a hospital. But when I got worse just an hour later, I ordered a taxi to go to an urgent care clinic. The clinic said I needed to be treated at a hospital, and then insisted that they would not let me leave except in an ambulance - which I then had to pay for.

Another thing that's stupid: apparently you have to pay for your ambulance ride in Pinellas County, Florida, but you never have to pay for your ride in Montgomery County, Maryland.

The reason you don't have to pay in Montgomery County? The state forced the county to shoulder tens of millions of dollars in teaching funds, and they had to come up with the money - so they made a law that county EMS could directly bill insurers, and this money goes directly to the county.
I made a bitcoin clothing store over the weekend and now I'm holding an ICO. AMA.
This is a fluff article and they know it, plenty of major quant firms analyze satellite images with neural nets to make trades.
Perhaps, but an epic crash of the most well-known brand, a death spiral in investor confidence and the ensuing media reports would kill not only Bitcoin but potentially any other cryptocurrencies. Legislation could follow to block or at least pigeonhole any other crypocurrencies into a really niche market.
I doubt it would work. It's like the signs that say "Drive like your kids live here!" Every time I see those, I want to speed up. I know it's stupid. But the moral finger wagging of it just sets off something. I actually agree with the sentiment - it's just the way it's presented.

But why do I want tether in the first place? Why bother switching back and forth at all? I don’t see why would I want to hold tether.

Can I buy a can of coke with it directly? What if the coke seller is a bit skeptical of tether and asks for 1.2 tether instead of one usd, just to play safe. Isn t this pressure applied to the exchange rate?
Did you know that in the rest of the developed world, what you described is considered absolutely insane, and never happens?

Not the people going to hospital thing - that happens all the time. It's just that nobody is ever charged thousands of dollars for it.
presumably if you had access to someone's locked MBP and you could move focus away from the password field you might be able to trick them into revealing their pw; if the setup requires access to an unlocked device it still allows you to leverage temporary access to unlocked device to get a leaked password.
Consumer perception, mainly. It depends on the target audience of the page. Modern consumers have come to correlate certain appearances with quality. It's not an awesome cultural development, but you're not likely to gain much traction by fighting against that momentum unless you already have an oversized influence on that readership's expectations.

Credit default swaps were invented in 1994. Liquid bond markets existed for centuries without them (1602 for the Amsterdam Bourse and the late middle ages for the Italian city-states).

CDS's are a form of insurance -- that's true. But in the case of a regular property/casualty insurance, you can't typically insure something you have no financial interest in. For CDS's, that's the base case.

It is claimed that CDS's originally were created to allow investors to insulate themselves against the economic shock of defaults. That's barely true. CDS's are, and have always been, instruments of leverage (gearing). They allow credit traders to earn a higher return by taking on the credit risk with a smaller outlay of capital.

I certainly don't want them to go away, but let's not kid ourselves that 1) they are fundamental to the credit market, or 2) they're not subject to potential abuse.
Can someone walk me through how this happens from a technical perspective? Nicehash must keep their PK at some "super secret place" so they can sign transactions out to their miners. In an ideal situation that PK is unreachable even in a security breach—but if it's not well guarded enough then once that PK is found the floodgates are open. Is that correct? Also, from a technical perspective why would a pool keep so much BTC in a hot wallet? Shouldn't they be constantly distributing rewards out to miners, and just pocketing a % them selves which (you'd assume) they'd move to cold storage?

Normally I downvote the hell out of "I read it as 'aliens want to penetrate my anus", har har har!", but in this case I would side with the "kiss this guy" crowd because that is precisely what the title says, even though that's not what the article is about.

I, too, wondered and then thought, "meh, makes sense. I went on a whale watching tour once and don't have much desire to do it again. Ergo, someone is keeping those boats in the water, must be the 'whales' of whale watching tours." Hell, I'd go as far as to massage the data just so the pun would work.

Worse than that: if I make the window narrow it displays some 40 lines, if I maximize it displays 20. The expected behavior is that the font size is independent from the width of the window, exactly as on HN and any other site.

What's the purpose of making text small, punishing readers for not maximizing the site? :-)

Seriously, it could be a way to make text flow into a smaller column, but there is no need to make text smaller. HN reflows and keeps the same font size.

These lock screen issues go back further than 10.13, I believe it was 10.10 or 10.11 my child was able to bypass the lock screen by mashing on the keyboard while the screensaver was fading out the login dialog.

I witnessed it. I was not able to reproduce it in 10-15 minutes of testing. She did NOT type in the password. Just banging on the keyboard, playing with the screensaver.
Thanks for the link. That article makes this intriguing point:

“But you shouldn't overstate that value. The reason that Blackstone made money on its credit-default swaps is not just that they were triggered by this clever maneuver. Just triggering CDS is not a big deal, because CDS pay out based on the difference between the face value of a bond and its post-default trading value.”

Is the same thing going on in this new deal?
Please do. They're similar to me as adept mixers of high (both are plenty virtuosic/"pretty" when they want to be) and low (both are great at slapstick) style and write with a kind of scientific eye for details.

Indeed, it requires auth. The xkcd page nor grandparent were mentioning not requiring auth as a requirement :)
