I've encountered similar from people, though I don't recall getting hostility from my immediate family as a child. Rather, I was praised for being smart. Though it's not like that didn't lead to problems of its own.

> "Why are you always trying to impress everyone by using big words."

The thing is, sometimes I am trying to impress for one reason or another, good or bad. Other times, I'm trying to communicate with precision because I think there are nuances to hand which are important to be aware of. In the later case, it can be especially frustrating. After the first set big words is not understood, my default reaction is to try to speak with even more precision. Thus come bigger words, thus less understanding, and so the feedback loop goes.

Which leads me to my next point. Communication and understanding are key. It is goddamned alienating when communication and understanding break down consistently. And they easily do when there's a gap in relative intelligence between people. I suspect this is at least partially the cause for the results in the article. I've found it easier to relate to people who seem to be of similar intelligence. People whom are significantly more or less so are harder to communicate with. If it's hard to understand what one's leader is doing or why, is one going to trust him much? Or is one more likely to feel suspicious or resentful?

It depends on the IP clauses in your contract. A common stipulation is that they own everything you do on company time or resources unless you file specific exceptions. Given that this was a hack week project for the company, if your contract has such a clause, you're probably boned.

The guy who started Lao is in jail for tax fraud which has really torpedoed the place. It’s not nearly as good as it used to be.

Oh yeah, I remember hearing they got raided and had their records seized, but I never heard what the actual outcome was. So Tony Hu went to jail huh? That's too bad. At least last time I was there (2013?) Lao Sze Chuan was amazing.
Thanks for posting this. I remain horrified at the changes that Amazon has pushed on Seattle.
> There's a reason I choose to describe these systems as prostheses.

I choose to describe them as "external brain" ("exobrain" is the term of the art now?) - "prosthesis" feels like it implies there's something wrong with it, and that you use it only because you have no other choice.
They do indeed keep tracking data, see my comment above: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16181406
CNBC updated its grades: https://www.cnbc.com/2018/01/18/how-cities-rate-in-the-race-...

Given the headlines and buzz today, you'd think Amazon at this point would just create an Amazon Original reality show at this point where each week a new city gets voted off.
Some people probably can, but then in addition to being intelligent he’d have to be an incredibly talented and disciplined actor.

Unlikely.

It's been some time since I was in that general area, but my impression is that many people in those suburbs commute via train for their employment. Surely those malls, if they are indeed thriving, owe some of their success to the rest of the NYC metro area, which is noted for being the most transit-oriented location in USA? Malls in the transit-free hinterlands you seemed to prefer, are not thriving.
>the economy would run better (i.e. free market) without their "help".

That's impossible, because if the right answer is to leave the market alone then economists can help gather the political will to stay the visible hand - and if the right answer is to change things then the right person to have decide what to do is someone that has thought deeply about it, by definition making them an economist.
If phrased that way, we should probably celebrate it - it's increasingly uncommon for business interests to be even tangentially aligned with society's interests, even in small areas of the product/service.
What's the single best way to get involved in the industry? Should I bother getting a degree or just go straight for hands on manufacturing experience? Are there any universities known for good programs?

Well, in the 1800s steam locomotives were considered to be awesome high-tech. The famous HMS Rattler vs. Alecto trial which proved the superiority of propellers over paddles for ship propulsion was in 1845.

Even on the basic science level, Maxwell published his seminal treatise on classical electromagnetism in 1873, and it wasn't until 1881 that Heaviside published them in the form we know them today and that sort-of made people understand them. Semiconductors were sort-of known already in the early 1800s, but it wasn't until the, say, first half of the 20th century when we really started to understand them with the development of solid state physics (both theoy and experimental methods such as x-ray diffraction etc.).

So yes, while some aspects of lithography could have been developed in the 1800s, I think there was quite a huge gap between that and a whole lot of other things needed.
Would be a pretty big slap in the face for all other "contestants" if it turns out that Amazon intended to move to Atlanta all along and this whole thing was only for publicity and leverage.
They tend to lean libertarian in lip service, and somewhere closer to Stalin in their insistence on their vital role in policy suggestions.

A lot of public universities only have 1 year of previous in-state residency requirement to gain in-state rates.

To be fair I can't imagine anything more inseparable than IE and earlier versions of Windows (not sure about the latest ones, haven't used Windows in more than a decade). The HTML engine was literally part of the system in the form of various DLLs shared across pretty much all of Microsoft apps. You could theoretically remove the the browser app which was just a thin GUI, but all the security holes of the engine would still be there.
And it is superficially similar to the plot of the book Matilda by Roald Dahl, which makes me think that it is not a situation unique to grandparent poster.

We will probably never know the number of kids out there that never fulfill their intellectual potential because of envy, jealousy, spite, pettiness, avarice, bigotry, or other equally bad motives.

"Prevention of learning" just seems like one of those things that should be considered a crime, but is never punished with even so much as disapprobation.
Instead you begin feeding plausible, but wrong data (like, add a random number to price). This will usually cause much more damage to the scraper than blocking would.

If you detect wrongly though, you risk alienating your users -- if I saw obviously incorrect prices on an ecommerce site, I wouldn't shop there, assuming that they are incompetent and if I enter any payment information it's going to be whisked away by hackers.

Depending on your industry etc., it may be viable to take the legal route. If you suspect who the scraper is, you can deliberately plant a 'trap street', then look for it at your suspect. If it shows up, let lose the lawyers.

That may be harder than you suspect, given that it's not illegal to violate a website's terms of use:

Even if you have an enforceable contract, you can still face an expensive legal battle if they choose to fight (and it's likely not their first fight), so hopefully you have some deep pockets.
I think charisma is best used to signal a lack of intelligence. Someone else posted a link to a op-ed about GWB, but Trump follows a similar approach. Lots of people question his intelligence and decision-making ability, yet, every one of us hear or talk about him several times a day.

He also has a political sleight-of-hand that I don't think has ever been matched. Every time a key policy decision is being debated, the news channels are focused on Trump's latest gaffe rather than the decisions being made in Washington.

Appeal to emotion to get results, not reason.
I totally see your point here. On the other hand, I left Philly in 2014 after getting laid off from a remote job. I could not get a job in town that utilized my skill set and paid me enough to maintain my family's costs.

From my perspective, there were only 2 games in town for people with specialized tech skills - Penn or Comcast. I'm sure that's not entirely true. But that's what it looked like to me.

The only place I could get hired (and maintain income) - Google. But Google doesn't do remote work, so here I am in the Bay Area. If Amazon comes to Philly, short term there will be costs if the city doesn't negotiate things properly. But long term, Amazon being here will mean other tech companies will come to poach labor. It's what happens in Seattle, Boston, the Bay Area in general.
There was an article on this very subject the other day:

Comfort largely depends on airline. No economy seat, even when you are at emergency exit row, suits my height.

Yes, a380 feels more like a huge building, maybe a bit quieter (ANC headphones), but more people make it more annoying.
I wish it were as easy/well-documented to code for the GA chip. I've been interested in one for ages, but never been able to get colorforth working or any of the half-written emulators. Having GA-144 in the style of TIS-100 would be fantastic.
It is "easy" to block scraping. Make it very costly to scrape:

- Render your page using canvas and WebAssembly compiled from C, C++, or Rust. Create your own text rendering function.

- Have multiple page layouts

- Have multiple compiled versions of your code (change function names, introduce useless code, different implementations of the same function) so it is very difficult reverse engineer, fingerprint and patch.

- Try to prevent debugging by monitoring time interval between function calls, compare local time interval with server time interval to detect sandboxes.

- Always encrypt data from server using different encryption mechanisms every time.

- Hide the decryption key into random locations of your code (use generated multiple versions of the code that gets the key)

- Create huge objects in memory and consume a lot of CPU (you may mine some crypto coins) for a brief period of time (10s) on the first visit of the user. Make very expensive for the scrapers to run the servers. Save an encrypted cookie to avoid doing it later. Monitor concurrent requests from the same cookie.

The answer is that it is possible but it will cost you a lot.
>> GPS is also the biggest battery hog on the device.

Something is, but I find it very hard to believe it's the GPS itself. It's, after all, a completely passive system. What eats battery is transmissions and computation; with GPS, the first doesn't happen, and there isn't much of the second either.

I guess what happens is (on some phones; I've kept GPS always active on my Galaxy S4 and S7, and never noticed a difference) having GPS active makes various services run in your system, which may or may not be poorly written / poorly integrated with phone's power management.

I didn't say they all occur everywhere.
Intelligent kids tend to not be observant with respect to other people's reactions. This is why nerds and geeks were social outcasts (until the terms got rebranded). This lack of awareness doesn't mean they aren't intelligent, it means they're kids. Gaining the kind of emotional/social intelligence ot not geek out like that, or to learn to change your language, requires socialization and experience.
Whitepaper https://whitepaper.dharma.io/#faq
Don't overlook Nashville. It has an educated workforce; it's a transportation hub, Fed Ex is right down the road in Memphis. It has the 3rd fastest growing economy in the country. The tech scene is booming. There is plenty of developable land downtown. It's a low tax state with a permissive business environment, and both state and local governments in TN have shown they are willing to play ball to attract large employers.

Based on what Amazon has listed as it's own criteria I would say the top 5 are probably:

- Nashville
- Atlanta
- Raleigh
- Dallas
- Denver

Also in no particular order.
That's close enough that I can look at the weather report in the morning and decide to take a day off work.

This is an amazing advantage.

> people were saying the same exact thing about Trump before he took office and we are now all very sure it's not the case

Don't be so sure. First, he outsmarted both political parties to become the most powerful man in the world. And in his first year as president, he's been far more effective at getting things done than most. The fact that some people dislike the things he's getting done doesn't take anything away from that.
I am put off by the circumstance that in spite of the title, nowhere in the article does it seem to say (nor even suggest that the paper answers) why people dislike really smart leaders.

I enjoy where I work, and would happily wear company-logo shirts every day. Unfortunately, I can't just buy a _single_ company-logo shirt, as they are only sold as part of the marketing-swag portal that requires Large Batches (20+?).

I'm shocked that, as an employee, there's no "company store" where I can buy an extra $Company coffee mug, t-shirt, polo shirt, etc.
So should it be worded "Did you see it hit the ground?"

Of course, it's hard to pick any location farther than Seattle from DC.
Having not lived in those areas I can't say. The important question is how capable are they of alleviating the issues? Denver right now has a massive problem where they can't really seem to do much to lower congestion.
These are good points, especially about the invoice PDFs and a way to send them automatically to a certain e-mail.

Universities often base tuition on residency status that they determine.

So a foreigner living in a state could get in state tuition.

Most of that sounds like a normal small town, besides walking to school, which I don't think I'd ever let a kid of mine do in the city before maybe late high school.

In most towns there are school buses that have routes in the morning to bring kids to school from their houses. It's not a choice between only driving and walking.

If people believe there's a currency crisis and that the currency will crash, it becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy. They would instantly convert dollars to another type of currency or goods they think would retain value. They would take their entire paycheck every month and buy any possible physical good they can the same day to try to keep the value. You can have the largest military in the world, the currency would still crash like a rock, trust is everything for a currency.
Bringing the Covox Speech Thing to 2017
People who say "gambling" are people who are either ignorant and don't know it, or, more likely, have some ulterior motive or malicious purpose, consciously or subconsciously, for associating cryptocurrency and blockchain technology with illegal, undesirable, or irrelevant/useless applications.

It may not necessarily be an innate issue with their social intelligence, but more so a learned reaction. Getting singled out by something as important as speech as a child could have lasting ramifications. Having to constantly weigh your words in stressful social situations sounds like a surefire way to develop social anxiety.
> It is a mistake to focus on individual properties.

That doesn't apply. It is important to filter out voting systems that degenerate into the opposite of their goals. I don't understand why you say that is a mistake. This has nothing to do with a comparison but removing a poor voting system that does not meet the criteria.
Probably because far too many managers will blame the programmer for any failures that result from following the recommendations, no matter how tangential, while simultaneously taking the credit for any successes.

While I would love for this to be a thing, most cryptocurrency enthusiasts seem to distrust anything and everyone. How would one develop an oracle trusted enough that it would be accurate while not being vulnerable to sudden betrayals? There are for example plenty of stories from Eve Online (closest example of a lawless/trustless universe) where a very trusted middleman suddenly changed behavior when the benefits became great enough.

Especially when a cryptocoin includes strong anonymity, betrayal has very low downside since no retribution would be possible. However even if such anonymity is not present, it may not be possible to get retribution if the entity on the other side is (for example) the mafia.
But with ROP, there's usually no need to write into the text-segment to execute arbitrary code.

So in flink you can use a few different bundled in strategies for emitting watermarks, or you can define your own. Here's the documentation on that https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.4/...

For example, you can use the bundled MaxOutOfOrdernessTimestampExtractor to emit watermarks that lag behind the maximum timestamp seen so far by some constant amount (say, 50 ms). You could customize this behaviour by implementing the required interface, to emit a watermark, say, whenever we pass an other calendar day. You can also assign strictly-ascending watermarks which you could say is equivalent to maxOutOfOrderness = 0.

You can also choose to emit watermarks based on the content of the stream (see Punctuated Watermarks https://ci.apache.org/projects/flink/flink-docs-release-1.4/...)

Why collective bargaining may be bad for the public sector
Regarding YouTube in particular, I tend to open up videos in background tabs for later viewing and find it very annoying that they start playing automatically before I get around to that tab. I did go there to watch the video—eventually. Just not the second that the page finishes loading.

YMMV. A persistent setting to enable or disable auto-play would be ideal.
I do not understand how it is possible. Public transit is soo much cheaper. In many cases, it is just unaffordable for someone to switch from taking the bus to Uber.
