I second this approach.

Many job ads will have a bulleted list of what they are looking for and responsibilities. Just copy-paste that list and then re-write the bullet points in a way that shows how you have that skill. EXP:

- Candidate must have 5 years experience with FooBar

- Candidate must have good knowledge of ZooCar

Turns into:

- Via my 5 years at class/volunteering/job at McEnroeCorp I used FooBar and made FooBarApp with it.

- I have used ZooCar for class/job/side-project and got-a-B/made-$$$-for-company/went-to-FGH-conference

Just go down the list and put in whatever you can.

ProTip for 'shyer' people: Don't worry if you only have 3 years and they need 5, apply anyway. Also, if you only have ~40% of the listed requirements, apply anyway. Hell, if you think the logo is kinda cool and you have an inkling that you can code and fog a mirro, apply anyway.
Which is why in a sense it's a travesty that commodity crops are grown in CA with scarce water.
Dumping odd stuff that's not clearly from Mozilla and is poorly explained, without warning, is a fast road to lost trust.

I'm using Firefox 57 heavily (typing this in it), and actually really like it for a change. This after years and years and years and years of wanting to like Firefox but finding it completely and absolutely unusable due to performance issues.

(Chrome has been ... faster, but insanely aggravating in all sorts of ways, including utter and complete contempt from Google and the Chrome devs for users. The frustrations are rapidly mounting.)

Mozilla have just cost themselves some portion of their advanced user test base through abuse of trust. I really wish they'd not do that.

Yes, but society was structured under different assumptions then. I live in a city in the desert. There wouldn't be cities in the desert (with modern living standards) if we didn't have fossil fuels to get food, building supplies, electrical wiring, etc. out here.

Yes, society can function without fossil fuels, but probably not with the same number of people, and certainly not with the same standard of living.
"Us vs them" certainly isn't a weapon of last resort. White identity politics was at its peak when whites were least threatened by minority groups, and the same is true today with leftist identitarians. I wouldn't go so far as to say identity politics is caused by a powerful ingroup, but it certainly isn't caused by an oppressed ingroup.

(genuine question) is there only one official body in the world that determines what a "marathon" is?

My understanding is that the Boston Marathon (which certainly seems to be a marathon) isn't considered a "real" marathon because of various reasons (weather, elevation, non-loop nature of the course etc.)
Ugg not this thing again. There are highspeed monitors and projectors that can send data faster. I know of projectors that run at 1khz used for fringe projection interferometry or rapid stimulation of optogenetically tagged nuerons.

In principle, local response times can be faster while packets are bound by more fundamental things like the speed of light.

Hi, I'm a scientist. I have a PhD in Biophysics, and I've studied a lot of biology and radiation.

The statement that non-ionizing radiation can't give you cancer is effectively false. It is based on applying the mechanisms by which ionizing radiation causes cancer. While non-ionizing radiation does not cause double strand breaks and other mutations that can lead to cancer, you cannot use that assertion to claim that non-ionizing radiation does not cause cancer. It could certainly cause cancer by other means- for example, through induction of heat shock proteins as a response to cellular heating. To my knowledge, nobody has demonstrated this convincingly, although, given the fact that heat shock protein activation can lead to cancer (or cause existing pre-tumors to start growing faster), you can see that we immediately have plausible mechanisms to study, if there is indication that cancer is occurring.

Another way of putting this: if people found strong epidemiological evidence that cell phones caused brain cancer in humans (they haven't, yet), the nature of that mechanism would be subjected to intense scrutiny.

Everything I've stated above is completely mainstream science; nothing I said is controversial. Your mention of the Einstein paper is really a canard- it bears no direct relationship to the biology of the situation.
yeah when I saw that quote the first thing I thought is that this is probably one of those non-replicable studies that was cherry picked out of a small sample size.
The internet never forgets. More than one politician has found this out.
I didn't see the post with the person saying they would rather play Playstation alone, so I'm not sure if "having panic attacks" is hyperbole.

If it is hyperbole, then I agree that professional help is a necessity. Mental health is a serious issue and not properly addressing it is doing everyone involved a disservice.

I think its also important to note that having panic attacks has nothing to do with fragility of a person, and suggesting that someone who has suffered from panic attacks isn't suitable for a job in IT is flat out ignorant. This attitude is the reason why mental health issues go undiagnosed.

Now if the panic attacks were hyperbole, and this poster was saying that they would prefer to play Playstation alone than go to a company meaning, I think your comment is fairly short sighted. This person sounds like they are very introverted. Through High School and much of college I thought that there was something horrifically wrong with me because, if given my choice of leisure time, I would prefer not to go to big parties or hang out in large groups. I finally realized that there was nothing wrong with being introverted, as long as it made me happy. I understand how being in groups and parties is enjoyable to you. I think it is only fair that you can understand how the opposite is true for me or other introverts.

no-till is incompatible with organic farming? Hadn't heard about that, a shame if true. I'm not a farmer, but I had heard there were a variety of strategies that would qualify as organic, e.g. cover crops that choke out the weeds, or plastic sheeting over the ground to bake the weeds & pests.

Although I agree with you that the plurality voting system (aka FPTP) is a big problem, I think your theory of why it isn't changed is silly and overlooks the very real difficulties.

One of those difficulties is that there isn't a clear winner among the alternatives. Approval voting, the STV(/IRV), and the Borda Count all have adherents, who disparage the other two.

Worse, none of them is perfect. For example, STV and BC are both susceptible to strategic voting. I recall reading about some municipality that decided to try STV. IIRC, in the very next election they had two competent but extreme candidates at opposite ends of the political spectrum, and a centrist generally regarded as less competent (and who got a much smaller number of first-place votes than either of the others). The electorate was so evenly divided that the centrist won; the voters were so upset with this outcome that they ditched the STV and went back to PV (plurality). Evidently they would have been happier with one of the two extremists, even though that would have been the "wrong" choice for almost half of them.

We could object that none of the three candidates was obviously a great choice, and that if voters really preferred their opposite-extreme candidate over the centrist, they should have voted that way. But it's easy to see why they didn't. We could also object that AV would have given a better result in this case, picking whichever extreme candidate got the most votes and ignoring a widely-disliked centrist. But STV tends to be an easier sell, perhaps because it maintains the notion of "one person, one vote". And finally, we could object that they were too quick to pull the plug and should have given STV another chance, having learned a lesson about the importance of finding competent centrist candidates.

But their conclusion was, they tried an alternative system and it didn't work.

I tend to favor AV personally, as it's relatively resistant to pathological outcomes, but have to admit that it has another problem: it's the least tamper-resistant. With PV and STV, the total number of votes counted shouldn't be greater than the number of voters. AV has a much looser and less useful bound: the total number of votes shouldn't be greater than the product of the number of voters and the number of candidates. That leaves a lot more room for manipulation. In a world where our voting systems are already not as trustworthy as they should be, this is a problem.
I think most of them are caused by the two-party political system in the U.S., where parties do make everything seem like an "us vs them".

For every proposal one party has, the other party tends to have the opposite proposal. Except when it's about giving the military bigger budgets, the NSA more surveillance powers, and expanding U.S. military operations in more countries. On those issues both parties are BFFs.

The two party system has got to go, if for no other reason than that it leaves very little room for the competition of ideas.

Hi, I'm a physicist. Our community doesn't agree with your community on this issue.

Oh, and you did notice that I mentioned heating, I hope. As you know, the standard for cellphone radiation is already calibrated to prevent significant heating.
If you don't shuffle until you run out of cards, you mess with the instantaneous probability of any particular draw, but you hardcode the distribution. You are guaranteed to get the distribution you put in the deck, and I think that's a better measure of fairness than having a constant instantaneous probability.

As the deck becomes smaller, your ability to predict the next draw scales with your skill at counting cards. I think that's a good feature for a random number generator to have, as it's what allows games like poker and blackjack to be about more than simply getting lucky.

Again, what? Has this happened? I've never heard of this, and this seems like fairly extreme hyperbole.

What is your argument here? Tech companies are against conservative americans? If reading HN has taught me anything, the tech scene is full of conservatives and libertarians.
Signed out from facebook a few days ago. Did not even have a single temptation to sign back in. Amazing what simply signing out can achieve. So far, it feels like facebook was a massive waste of time.

The question isn't "if spending time is good or bad". The question is "is it needed for one or not". You know, like that choc bar one just grabs at the till right before paying for shopping or paying for the gasoline. I never had any satisfaction from it to begin with, mindless content consumption, sometimes leading to spending hours on youtube sucked in by someone posting something "interesting".

I still use Snapchat to communicate with close friends.

> Someone who wants to sell $1M USD of BTC may be happy to take $1M USDT instead for legal/tax purposes.

This sounds extremely foolish. Why would anyone intentionally wish to hold such a large amount of a token that all evidence points towards being actually worthless? (Tethers can only be used to purchase cryptocoins in Bitfinex, which is most likely insolvent -- it is not possible to redeem them for USD).

> 4) BTC price becomes stable or only moves upward and attracts more outside money and speculation. Repeat the cycle.

I think this is the most likely explanation for Bitfinex's behavior. They know that there will inevitably be a bank run when Bitcoin's prices show a sign of going down and that will unravel the scam they have been running so at this point the only thing they can do is continue to push up the price at all costs.

Yeah. That's precisely the idea behind "freedom of speech", that even if you're restricted in doing a lot of things, the restrictions on talking about is as little as possible.

Talking about it influences opinions, and when critical mass is reached, even autocratic governments sometimes are forced to abide by the consensus of their people.

Noone's claiming that China is a better or more progressive country btw, just that in this very specific regard, US is worse than China.
Okay, but what would that look like? How do you go from where we are now to there without massive disruption. How do you start feeding NYC locally?

Litecoin founder talks about cryptocurrency risks
Two things:

1. I'm not sure if people are universally incapable of talking like that, ie. with a bit of self-restraint and without cutting in at every opportunity. I'm not sure, but I strongly suspect that this is related to the culture of people involved. As an example (or an anecdote) I work remotely full-time and participate in a lot of conference calls, yet I was interrupted just a couple of times. Never twice by the same person, though.

2. People are able to talk (and communicate) in so many different circumstances and environments, like over the radio, on a boat during a storm, on paper, with a flashlight and Morse code... that I don't think it's that hard for them to assimilate yet another protocol to follow when talking. It really shouldn't be impossible, I think.

I really strongly suspect it's a matter of culture. I was taught, from a very young age, that interrupting someone when they're speaking is simply rude, and that if you respect someone enough to talk to them, you should also respect them enough to let them say whatever they wished to say.

It's also true for many of my acquaintances, at least those from my generation and older. People who talk too much, too often and are unable to let others finish what they're saying are regarded as hyperactive, perhaps with ADHD, or really bad marketers, sect recruiters and such. This is still just an anecdote, but it at least shows that it's possible for groups of people to use a different mode of talking.

An honest question: listening what the person has to say from start to finish is so tightly correlated (in my mind) with respect for that person, that I never considered that you can get interrupted, possibly many times in a row, and not feel offended. What do you think about this notion? Do you think that it's a speaker fault if he's out of words for a few seconds, and is responsible for maintaining a steady stream of speech from start to finish? In other words, how do you justify people cutting in? Or is that simply a non-issue to you?

Centralization offers many benefits that some people value. There is nothing whatsoever wrong with that.

Bitcoin offers the choice and makes trusting a 3rd party completely optional.

For some institutions, they already have legal departments and experience with valuable contracts, so this service presents nothing new. Securing the private keys of a cryptographic currency, however, is not something they have experience with.

There is certainly some truth about reality vs. the cypherpunk vision, but I also think this is largely a strawman; many people in the Bitcoin community don't believe in overthrowing governments or that everyone will participate in completely decentralized systems. Bitcoin can still offer value alongside traditional financial markets and the legal authority of the state.

At least with regards to copyright, it is pretty well known that Noah Webster was lobbying powerfully for it [1].

The quote you have from Madison no doubt reflects his real opnion, and well the established view in Britain. But the reason he needed to write it in his letters was that he had to argue against the opposite view among other founders.

You can guess which side Webster supported. And this is the kind of thing I mean about it being a "well-known public justification".

This is a common investing fallacy. It doesn't matter "where" you get your money from, money is money.

If you have $30,000 today, be it from BTC or from Work, it doesn't matter. If you lose it all tomorrow to a crash, you lost $30,000.

If you have $50,000 in BTC, it doesn't matter if you "only spent $1000" a few years ago. Its $50,000 (minus capital gains taxes).
