Any written tutorials? I've never understand the preference for video for coding tutorials. (It's actually the speaking more than the video I dislike. Or rather it's the enforced pacing that time-based media impose on you.)

> we thought were benevolent principles of radically open information and free speech

We thought people were better, that with the open flow of information truth and debate would flow freely and we'd be free from the blinkers traditional media and government put on our heads. We never imagined people would deliberately poison our watering hole.
There's a way around human nature in this case: one company can do it efficiently and force the others to do the same, or go out of business. Not that common though really.
Yes, all this "container per request" or "unikernel per request" stuff is essentially the same as what everyone was doing 20 years ago with basic CGI. But this stuff also has far worse performance than CGI's "process per request", since processes can be started very fast, in microseconds.

It would be more interesting if we just made more sandboxing powers available for traditional processes, though there is already quite a lot of sandboxing available for Linux processes...
As a Turbolinks fan, I couldn't be more excited about Stimulus. Sounds like it completes the front-end development story with Rails-like simplicity minus requiring that you know Ruby and Rails.

I started off as a FE dev working on mostly Rails projects. Not knowing Ruby or Rails, I depended on others for updating controllers, debugging Rails errors, etc. I was also commonly frustrated when my teams treated the client as a second-class citizen for no apparent reason besides an aversion to JavaScript. JS' takeoff in the market was actually quite satisfying at first, but the more I worked with Angular, React & company, the more I missed the productivity of server-rendered JS responses, jQuery, and Turbolinks. I doubt Turbolinks + Stimulus wins prom king at JavaScript High next year, and I couldn't care less.

Also, Redux as "self-congratulatory" had me dead. XD
That is correct! I pointed that out and listed a few differences on the "About" section of the README (https://github.com/mjswensen/themer#about).

One thing I will add is that I found base16 more challenging to use if I wanted to use a custom color set instead of the default ones. It was also difficult for me to tell which packages of that project were maintained, which were deprecated, and how the packages were organized in general.

>Secondly—and relatedly—S-corp owners are getting rich because so much of the revenue being generated by their enterprises is going into their own, rather than their staffs’, pockets. This may be occurring even in the absence of any nefarious Dickensian scraping of value out of exploited workers

If owners are pocketing more revenue, in lieu of distributing it as profit sharing or employee salary increases, that would seem to indicate the salary bargaining position of current and new employees is not strong.

Why is it fishy? I agree with the rest of your comment, but I think it's great to see an acknowledgement that there is a potential relationship to the brazenness of serial harrassers to the fact that someone on tape admitting to sexual assault (what Trump's "locker room talk" describes is not mere harassment) is President.

That really depends then on what one is hiring for. An entry level position? Mid level? Senior? or Rock Star?

Those who are opinionated and snobby, even if they are the best preforming, may not be the best fit in many environments. A not insignificant portion of a senior developer's time can be spent mentoring people - and the snobby person may not be the best choice for that.

If the goal is to hire a team of one - great. If the goal is to hire into a team of half a dozen in what would be termed an enterprise development - the refusal to take a programming test may and work with the process rather than rebel against it may act as a strong indication that the person isn't going to be a good fit.
It's probably because it looks better and they sell more of it that way.
It makes sense that those who condone harassment would support others who harass, or at least tend not to see other harassers in a negative light?

Self-reporting bias would certainly have some effect, but not as much as brute similarity of worldviews regarding women, gender, sex, workplace etc. Like attracts like. Nothing fishy about that.
What data do you have to support your concern about creation of hereditary wealth? Why do you believe that property management is somehow special as compared with other businesses whose profitability is tied to a single person?
It's sad hearing that it hasn't changed much in over a decade — back when I was primarily doing sysadmin work, of the various manufacturers, only Sun's ILOM (on the V20z/V40z Opteron servers) seemed to reflect the existence of a QA department.

IBM, Dell, HP, etc. all had problems like you described where the management processor would hang after receiving unexpected traffic (e.g. nmap scans), too many simultaneous logins, etc. and, naturally, nobody had thought to implement a watchdog timer to reboot if it became unresponsive even if they had the same functionality available for the actual server.

The original comment was clearly trolling, but I would guess an SJW would be tickled that the problem has an unbounded maximum. I suppose it depends on how one defines 'SJW' though.
this comment is completely unsourced, proposes illogical conclusions (numbers are higher because people can’t lie to the NYT on a survey response?), and then makes a wild claim about how a survey article is going to cause societal damage.

This comment is not HN caliber and a lot of you know this and still upvoted. I sincerely hope some of you grow up or find a new community to trash in 2018.

Do you think shedding light on harassment is a waste of time? It is a relatively large sample size and the problems with methodology are addressed. What do you suggest is a better use of the paper's time in regards to the spate of recent news about sexual harassment in the workplace?
That's not a practical example. It's vague and stereotypes "Islam believers." If anything your comment is an example of harassment of muslims, not what you're trying to imply.
Well its a start. No need to be so harsh. It's a serious issue and I think the more and the better we report on it, the effects will only be beneficial.
North Korea’s Bitcoin Play
The backdoor code that a user, who bought the hardware, cannot shut down is a major flaw. It is, IMO, far from The Worst Vulnerability Ever, but it is a flaw that the manufacturer is not inclined to address; in fact, it is seeing this as a feature.

Thus advocacy, including overstating its impact, is likely the only option for those who want it changed.

> any attempt to hyperbolize in that direction is hurting the efforts of the people actually trying to protect you

Can you clarify this -- who are those trying to protect us and why do they want this mis-feature to stay? Are you talking about spooks who use this as a backdoor in their own cyber attacks? If so, this IMO only adds urgency to the need to close this backdoor -- such tools often leak and backfire.
Thanks for that link, I didn't know that. But in any case, my point is not that H1B can't be an issue for any case.

Pretty interesting, good investigation.

The whole thing seems remarkably amateur and low effort. Their slide of limitations is revealing - lack of language skills, no real process for handoffs over vacation times, use of a dedicated URL shortener that only GCHQ use instead of the many commercially available ones - these seem like basic errors. I find it hard to believe that this was a well funded effort or even achieved much at all.

It also casts some new light on the "Russian bots are taking over" establishment meltdown. Projection much? Obviously western government figures know their own staff are doing this sort of thing, so they assume that Russia is too and the lack of hard evidence of the type shown in this talk is neither here nor there.

This is a bit ridiculous, as the questions aren't specific. For example, I've definitely said something some people might consider offensive at work in the past year, but it wasn't sexist and it was in context. According to this, I would be categorized into 'made sexist remarks' regardless.

If you send a friend a direct message on slack with a comic that other people might find offensive, or reference something that they did the night or week before, would that fall into multiple categories?

I've designed surveys before and been trained to do so in a way that limits inherent bias. This doesn't seem to be a well thought out or designed survey set. Also, what is a SQL server reporting system doing asking people about sexual harassment?
That's a really good call out especially since the 1% in income one year might not be the same as next year, especially since the article mentions owners of small/mid sized companies that might have a really good year and hit the 1%.

I think there are a lot of factors at play. I have had an Amazon Tap for about a year, and 99% of the usage is just to play music. And I work in technology. I have used the Alexa app on my phone probably 3-5 times since first setting it up. At that time, I installed a couple of skills:

Pandora

Jeopardy (which I played often for a while, but then stopped)

Some Bed Time story skill, which is awesome and hilarious and I should know what it is so I can recommend it.

Nest, which never worked because I guess you have to use Heat/Cool mode on your thermostat which is dumb.

I think probably:

1) I installed more skills than the average user on initial setup (expected median: 0)

2) Most users open the app at a similar frequency to me.

3) The primary use of the device for most users is music.

4) Some people don't use them at all after the first week.

As far as development of skills, I know at some point they were offering "Amazon Swag (apparel)" in exchange for uploading your first Skill. Come on people, I've got mouths to feed here!

A lot of people are legitimately skeptical of the Times and other outlets reporting on social/political topics. Both the social sciences and journalists skew hard to the left, so content like this is very often biased (and incorrect as a result). Skepticism seems like a valid response; arguably more so than blind faith.

> "Why do I care if the 1% are working or rentiers?"

Because fairness matters. We are social beings and our well-being is connected to the nature of our relationships and the fairness of our society. Once basic needs are met, most people would choose a poorer but fairer and more loving community than a society richer through cold utilitarianism. Many if not most people who choose the opposite aren't really happy.

And there are a host of other problems with such inequality. For example, democracy is undermined (money is power), and the idea of a meritocracy is likewise belied: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15865876 (see my 9-point sub-answer).

The history of Ireland, France, and the UK to start.

>Why do you believe that property management is somehow special as compared with other businesses whose profitability is tied to a single person?

It's quite simple. If you own land and other people manage it, you just collect a paycheck from the land without any impact on its profitability. You can die and pass it to your kids and the profit stays the same and goes to the same place.

If you own a company that is completely dependent on you for profit, when you die the company stops being profitable. If you pass it to your kids and they are incompetent, they eventually lose the business.
"First, humans are still necessary - to build the factories, to operate them, to act as security guards - and the cost of those humans is still lower."

A lot of this work will be automated in the coming decades to the point where the effect of wage costs is marginal. In addition, the salaries in developing countries will continue to increase, eventually catching up Western nations. At that point the main factors are probably tax/import policies, price of enercy etc.

The difficulty of evaluating GANs is nowhere near the level of unfalsifiability, and it is not caused by GANs themselves being a bad technique, but by the problem space they are applied in.

When you are trying to generate "realistic" samples of human concepts, the ultimate measure of evaluation is whether humans think that the output is realistic. So you have no choice but to ask humans to judge the quality of your results. That's a standard thing to do e.g. in text-to-speech generation, whether GANs are used or not.
Overall it seems that time spent using skills/apps on Echo devices is a relatively low proportion of the total time spent using the device (relative to the proportion of time people are using apps on their mobile devices, that is). Time could

Bottom line: besides being unethical, harassment at work results in a less competitive labor market (a huge percentage of talent opts out of the industry), a less productive workplace, and shoddier products (lack of diversity mirrors the lack of customer engagement). This is to say that doing the right thing is also good for business.

When it's their whole livelihood, all they've ever known, and their families depend on it? You can hardly blame them. We need to give people other options. A lot of people who work these sorts of jobs don't have the savings that would allow them to retrain. If they lose their jobs, their families are in deep, deep trouble. This is where something like a basic income comes in. It allows workers a floor in the case their jobs get automated away. Gives them a chance to pick themselves up and find something else to do with themselves. Right now, they don't have that, so they -- understandably -- fight tooth and nail against being automated away (to everybody's detriment).
