> Maybe I've been just unlucky with how many times I've had to google for weird "brew doctor" type incantations to make it happy, or with how (un)smoothly I've found it + a Mac compared to using real actual Linux,

Have you tried MacPorts? But more to the point…

> but is it outside the realm of possibility that you can make something a lot of people find useful for some situations and still not necessarily be qualified for or entitled to every job out there?

Let's drop the dig regarding entitlement for a moment. Shipping a nontrivial tool like Homebrew and getting pretty much every Mac power user (except me and a handful of other MacPorts holdouts) using it should show far more qualification for an engineering position than inverting a binary tree on a whiteboard. Software is a complete system and process involving decisions and unsolved problems, even if those problems are "how do we solve these problems in a better way than they are already;" inverting binary trees is… an algorithm. One I can probably find with ten seconds and a search engine should I ever need it.

Granted, perhaps Google was hiring for a position where knowing how to invert a binary tree off the top of your head is crucial. Who knows. And I'm sure there are people out there who know that as well as how to create, ship, and maintain a useful product. But if I personally were looking for someone to hire, I know which would impress me more.

By the way, for those wondering, if you're ever asked to invert a binary tree on a whiteboard, here's how to do it:

1. Draw binary tree on whiteboard

2. Remove whiteboard from wall

3. Rotate whiteboard 180 degrees

4. Reattach whiteboard to wall

I think you seem very pasionatte about this, and from what you describe it doesn't sound like scammy situation.

It is very hard to guess what you can find disagreable in this situation.

Here is the deal, you can use tokens to raise money for marketing and development of your app, nothing scammy about it, especially if it seems it is an app with good traction and actually existing thing as opposed to pretty much 90% of scammy ICO's that are happening.

It doesn't mean you need to have tokens in your app.

Again, you know best what and how, but, I would, as someone much more experienced (ie. older), advise you to relax and hold off opposition to this. If it is good app, why not stay and see it growing. Don't abandon it just because not everything goes your way.

Whatever you do, I with you best of luck.

P.S. Even if you decide to leave, try not to burn bridges and pu-pu idea too much, honestly you don't know, you are just interested in something else. Don't hope they will fail because you are leaving, in other words.
Edit: your house.gov link is in fact wrong. This is the correct link. http://clerk.house.gov/evs/2018/roll014.xml

My Twitter link shows Dems who voted against the USA Rights amendment, and my house.gov link is for the bill itself. It is possible (and in fact likely) that a rep who voted no on the amendment would support the bill without it.

Your house.gov link is for the amendment, so it should reflect the same votes as the image in the tweet.

> If you ask someone who has studied political science, they will tell you that Liberal is the view that individual rights matter, and that supremacy of the group should be allowed to suffer if it infringes on the rights of individuals. Conservative is the view that the supremacy of the group is paramount.

I've got a degree in political science, and I would not agree that it captures the historical or current import of those terms well either in terms of overt ideology or underlying motivation. Both conservatives and liberals have (classically and currently) seen their views as vindicating the proper view of individual rights, advancing the best interest of the common society, and advancing the best interest of the individual; of course, liberals and conservatives have very different views of what individuals rights are and what the good of the individual and community consist in; the liberal view favors flatter, broader distribution of political and economic power, and detachment of power from inherited station; the conservative view favors a narrower concentration of power in those viewed as best equipped to apply it, and views inherited traits as often central to that qualification.
> Unfortunately I don't really know of a solution to this.

the solution is to take the economic incentives out of lawsuits (the legal industry is a pure economic cost, so an added perk is a more productive economy). some random ideas:

* make public law schools free and disband the various bar associations (increase competition/lower barriers to entry)
* make people file lawsuits within 3 months of injury (lower the statute of limitations)
* limit the length of lawsuits to 3 months total (limits legal costs)
* make judges prefer non-monetary compensation (like volunteer work).

gawker's remaining assets are being auctioned off by a bankruptcy administrator.

if you're selling your own property because you want to, you can set whatever terms you want, but when you go into bankruptcy because you can't pay your debts (the judgement against you, in this case), you're no longer in full control of what happens.

that said, it looks like the bankruptcy administrator is trying to block thiel's purchase, and maybe there's some grounds for that, unrelated to the interests of the previous owners.

Glad it worked for you with bitcoin and the particular people using your service, but that's not really a good basis for a payment network.

110% agree. The government has actually had a mandate out for publicly funded research since 1993, but only have enforcement rules been enacted and we have yet to see if they will be followed through on.

For research done by private institutions (Pharma, Biotech, etc.) there is no mandate and it's on the researcher to make it a thing.

Totally agree with you. One of the beautiful thing about AM is the simplicity of it. The fidelity of the signal may not be as good as RDS, but you can understand the message and take action in an emergency situation. You don't need high speed electronics to decode the data.

Good question. No, I’d rate that as both more likely and independent, as I see the likely causes of each as mostly independent — NI catching fire is mostly down to the NI-RoI border closing or being guarded/inspected (disclaimer: I’m not from that area and people who are often tell me It’s More Complicated Than That), while everyone else in the UK catching fire depends on Brexit being both harmful and surprising people by being harmful.

The current mental model is that people with CF overproduce mucus and are drowning in their own mucus. I believe this to be incorrect. We underproduce mucus. Giving the body what it needs to produce enough mucus makes a big difference. Inadequate mucus production is one of the ways the body's immune system is compromised and fixing that is entirely about proper nutrition.

I am well aware of the increase in life expectancy thanks to better drugs. I also used to take about 8 or 9 maintenance drugs and they made life not worth living. I was in constant excruciating pain for 3.5 years. No amount of pain medication really stopped it and my sleep quality was atrocious. I got better in part because I wanted to hurt less and I did not care if that accidentally killed me.

I had a life before my diagnosis. After my diagnosis, all I had was drugs staving off death. I frankly can't comprehend why more people with CF don't commit suicide. It's a horrible way to live.

All the drugs have a six page handout listing side effects. They trade short term gains for long term costs, take credit for the benefits and blame your genes for long term negative impacts.

I am not against drugs. I was thrilled to get a diagnosis and be able to ask for Zithromax up front. But there are things very, very wrong with our current approach. If anyone but a doctor did such terrible things to someone, they would be charged with a crime.

I think I was unwelcome on CF lists in part because people who had literally tortured themselves or their child balked at hearing that maybe you don't have to be tortured. I think accepting the torture and making their peace with it was a necessary psychological survival mechanism and they probably could not even name their objection to what I was saying.

I don't hate physicians either. I'm having a terrible, terrible day and speaking to these issues on HN is basically evidence that I have finally snapped. I don't like hurting other people. But trying to not hurt other people is essentially killing me. These are things I cannot discuss anywhere. It isn't socially acceptable. And that is part of the problem. Other people not only can't speak of it, many seem incapable of even thinking about it. It isn't acceptable for someone with CF to want a life. Just not dying yet is supposed to be all we aspire to and that's it. And I am incapable of swallowing that.

The premise of the initial tweet is spot-on (though I think she gets lost in the weeds a bit after that). People who think smart contracts are going to simplify any substantial percentage of contract use cases need to the understand the pain points of dumb contracts. The main reason dumb contracts are litigated is ambiguity, which is not a problem smart contracts are designed to solve.

Imagine that you have a contract to build a website for somebody. 50% up front and 50% when the site is done. So the key word there is "done" right? (and "done", here, can be a proxy for more specific terms, the principle is the same) A smart contract is designed to complete the transaction once the bit is flipped, but there's still the decision behind who gets to flip the bit. I.E. who decides when the thing is "done". The smart contract is not designed to deal with the ambiguity of the word "done".

So the types of problems a smart contract can deal with are those for which it is feasible to reduce the terms to binary states. Escrow is a good example. I can verify that x dollars moved into account A, so I will move y dollars from account B to account C. But the number of use cases like this are a small percentage of reasons you might want to contract in the first place.

There maybe some sort of smart contract framework that comes along to deal with the ambiguity issues, but for now, smart contract use cases are quite limited in scope.

Yep, in threads closed and marked "off topic".
The problem is sometimes they have dumped some exploits onto the public without giving their competitors enough time to fix the problem...they've done this multiple times to Microsoft. It's good in so long as they don't abuse it and it's treated as a public good rather than a corporate middle finger to its competitors.
Yeah; I don't doubt that there's a lot of value in the collection of data they built, but it's hard to judge the value of "95%" accuracy without comparison to a baseline like `is_fake = !whitelist.includes(article_domain)`. That whitelist is basically how our brains work currently, and my own (biased, perhaps) accuracy rate is something close to 100%.

A "true fake news detector" would use only the text of the article -- without the URL. And so I agree that this article is kind of like fake news of the "misleading" variety. :)
You don't! You pay (roughly) per flight hour (specifically per hobbs hour which is subtly different, but close enough). SYou can't just rent for a month and return with two flight hours on the clock (there are minimums) but you're not paying for 48 hours of rental for a 2 day trip.

However there are lots of other costs and complexities associated with becoming a pilot. It's a great hobby, but you don't get the same transportation guarantees you do with commercial - plenty of times the bigger/better equipped planes can take off safely but you'd be crazy to do it in a rented cessna.

Wait, is that true?

From the article, it does seem that the training and test sets were both generating from a dubious data collection process: scraping URLs they knew were fake/satire/real and then applying a label based upon the domain.

But, they had more features than just "source" in their model. so while it's possible their data collection method means that their model is way over-fit and basically just tests of proxies of "source", it's not prime facie obvious that this is the case...? Or am I missing something?
I expect they will not have problems with the SEC.

It's not a generalization, there's public data for this. Just take a sample of the top N SV companies, go to their Management/Staff page, and do a count. (note, we're talking senior management, not middle management)

I do have some ideas about why, but it requires going into some sociological analysis. (note: I'm a minority so I speak from that experience).
Not necessarily. One difference between the two is whether you'd like the view to be applied via government force (political) or spread via discussion and persuasion (non-political).
I am on the record as saying both parents should be involved. When I said primary breadwinner it was intentionally framed as gender neutral. I have been the primary breadwinner in my own household for more than a decade while my adult sons took over things like housework.
This is an interesting philosophical point that I think needs to be debated and established in law. Stealing is based on natural law of depriving someone of a thing.

If I make a copy you may value that, but the copy doesn’t deprive you of anything. What if you whistle a tune and I think about it? I’ve deprived you of value you by paying nothing but thinking of your whistled tune over and over.

I don’t think it’s an accepted truth that just because someone creates something that they must be compensated. Especially if it costs money for society to enforce.

There’s tons of these mental exercises. If I add a TOS to this comment saying it’s worth $1k and by reading, you must pay; do you owe? Did you steal my value without my consent?

That’s why stealing is based on clear harm through depriving of property. And fair use was established to allow reasonable noncommercial use.

My biggest complaint is that IP maximalism is not something society as a whole agreed to. It seems that IP holders just decided for society.
Of course kids in {daycare, school, the playground, riding the bus, ...} get sick (especially lots of minor viral infections) more often than kids who live in a hermetically sealed bubble, never share toys, and only ever interact with a couple of adults. Adults who never leave home also get sick less often than adults who go to school, work, etc.

But it is also the case that the human immune system remembers various kinds of foreign agents that it has seen and is more effective fighting them off later (hence immunization as an idea), and there seems to be some evidence that excessive hygiene results in allergies, autoimmune diseases, etc. See for a start https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hygiene_hypothesis

It is pretty unfortunate if parents can’t afford to keep their kids home for a week or two if they get seriously sick, though.
