Like most articles of this type, this article focuses exclusively on the upwardly mobile. And why not? They are usually interesting productive members of society. But downward mobility is a thing too, and you almost never see an article about class mobility talk about that side of it. I guess the idea is that the downwardly mobile aren't interesting, or deserve their fate. The downwardly mobile have children too. Learning to lose the manners of the ghetto when living among the upper class is quite useful , but learning to hide the manners of the upper class when living in the ghetto is often a matter of survival.

> if there is intent to inflict pain, either as a means or an ends, it is abuse.

That doesn't sound correct to me. If a little get (well below the age of reason) reaches for the pretty red glowing burner atop the stove, you slap away his hand because the small pain of getting his hand slapped will serve to make a second attempt less likely, and the small pain is far less severe and more transient than the great and lasting pain of a nasty burn.

Enjoying inflicting pain is definitely abuse, but inflicting it to prevent worse pain and suffering is IMHO not.
I think you're confused about the differences between a law and a regulation. As I understand it, at least in the US context, regulations are rules specify the finer details of the implementation of a law. You can be jailed for the violation of a regulation [1].

> I wish we had that, but we can't, we have to live entire generations with laws designed by previous ones.

There's an expression that describes your attitude, it's "throwing the baby out with the bathwater." The thing about "the laws designed by previous [generations]" is that most of them are good, and the ones that aren't will eventually be abolished or modified, in a democratic society.

> and trying to make it better

The attempt is ignorant "disruption" that's repeating, word for word many of the long-solved mistakes of the past. If you want to make something better, you can't focus on the just problems of the current solution, but you also have to focus on all the problems the current solution already solved. To do otherwise is foolishness.

"searching with the old google.com before SEO became popular"

I wish I could give people these days an idea of what this was like.
If you're still using V4 you can get the old docs here: https://fontawesome.com/v4.7.0/
To elaborate a bit: CFOP (aka Fridrich method but that name is dicouraged) stands for Cross, First 2 layers (aka F2L), Orientation of the last layer and Permutation of the last layer. The first two steps can be done intuitively without the need to memorize any algorithms (unless you want to learn a few for a handful of trickier F2L cases). Algorithms come for the last two steps which both involve the last layer. First step, OLL is to make so that the last face is the same color. I.e. if you started with the white cross, in OLL you need to orient each cubelet so that yellow side is on the top. If you want to do that in one step you need to learn 57 algorithms—one for each possible position.
Then comes PLL, which is moving cubelets so that they are positioned in correct places. To do this in single step you will need 21 more algorithm.

So that's a total of the 78 algorithms for the last layer.

If you are not willing to learn that many you can go by using what's called four-look-last-layer (4LLL) for you use a couple of steps to solve OLL and a couple of steps to solve PLL. One step solves orientation/permutation of edges, another—corners. For OLL you can get by with just 10 algorithms: 3 for edges, 7 for corners, and for PLL you need 6 more—3 for edges, 4 for corners. So 16 instead of 78.
>Academic journal papers are meant to be digested by experts in that topic, not the general population.

TL;DR: Studies like these need scrutiny from everyone. Not just people that declare themselves experts.

I disagree.The latest E-Cig study says they found evidence of tumors in mice who were exposed to cigarette smoke....What they don't tell you in the abstract is that they used 10mg/ml nicotine E-juice and exposed the mice for 3h/day, for 12 weeks. The highest ratio most people vape at is 9mg/ml. No one smokes them for 3 hours straight. The study failed to include how exactly they produce the vapor, no mention of wicking material or coil metallurgy, temperature, or voltage of the coil. It could very well be that the tumors were cause by combustion of either the coil being heated above it's melting point, the wicking material burning, or the juice being combusted and not vaporized. Even though I'm not considered an expert in tumors or cancer I have learned that this test is flawed is missing information and doesn't really show anything that we as people don't already know "Heating things beyond the combustion point produces byproducts that could be harmful to our health." I can rest assured instead of listening to headlines that didn't bother to read or scrutinize the study. I think studies like these need scrutiny from everyone. Not just people that declare themselves experts.

Let's also be fair...just because I have an academic email address doesn't mean I'm an expert. I could be a janitor at JHU for intent and purposes.

Cloud DevSecOps Engineer | JP Morgan | Seattle, WA
https://www.jpmorgan.com | Full Time - Onsite
Looking to build a team of gifted engineers to design, develop, test and implement security solutions for our cloud environments. You will work in partnership with Architecture, SecOps and Product Mgmt, in a hands-on environment. We need people with an elevated cloud acumen (AWS, Azure, Google, Openstack) and the tools to build (RHEL, Java, Python, Ruby, Github, Jenkins...).

If you are interested, please reach out to Shawn - shawn.m.mccredie@jpmorgan.com
And absolute joy to implement! If anyone is curious: pick up "Threaded interpretive language" by R. G. Loeliger. It is old and only describes one kind of kinda-Forth -- but in a few readable lines of assembly and some neat memory structures you have an interpreted language.

Ask HN: What is your company doing for GDPR compliance?
The EU's General Data Privacy Regulation goes into effect at the end of May. Our company is getting ready to spend probably 8-person-months of labor time becoming compliant (for a mobile app that uses advertising). It's a giant pain to navigate the policy when you're on a small-ish team without somebody who has been paying close attention to this.

Is some piece of JavaScript loaded in your browser one of those "bigger problems to worry about"? What about some Windows tool I download to help me run games in borderless fullscreen? What about videogame mods? And here I was hoping that running everything as a regular/non-admin user is sufficiently secure...

People say "you need to have malware running on your system" as if it's not normal to run other people's code on a desktop system but it's actually very very common and why priviledge separation and user sandboxing is being done in modern operating systems. JavaScript has been successfully shown it can be used to exploit at least one of these bugs.

You don't have to look to greed or malice, but simply the fact that people carry their unexamined biases with them when they speak their opinions.

> > > it took me many years to realize that the posters who upvote and share these articles are not only aware of the heavy fog, but are able to read though the fog

They aren't aware of the fog, they have the same subconscious biased perspective that makes the fog look like normal to them.
But she probably doesn't feel this way because of a history of patient care related discrimination. She feels like this because of pervasive racism at all levels of society, e.g. news coverage of kidnapped little white children vs minority children. Although in this case she may be wrong, I don't think we should sweep the far-reaching effects of endemic racism under the rug.
Every single interview I've been to has had at least one of those. None of them has had more than half though.
Hi! Great reply - this is how you earn early adopters trust. At the potential cost of giving away your "secret sauce", I'd highly recommend being as transparent as possible about what you do and what you don't do to people's data. There's a huge need for your service, but as most of the comments here point out - be f'n careful.

> We take our first impressions on security and privacy very seriously.

This statement is unforutnately, NOT how you earn people's trust. Presumably your early adopters are technically inclined. Guess what, they don't care if you say "we take it seriously", they want you to show why you take it seriously. Furthermore, any large financial institution (for example) is going to say the same thing. Sure your sales guy says "we take it seriously", but you're not going to win any deals if you don't pass their security audit.

You can still invest in early stage currencies or ICOs, unlike startups.

As a creator if you have an idea for a currency you can release it without permission, and if people like it they will give you money.

The alternatives are bootstrapping, which is exhausting and what I've done. Have rich friends - you likely won't if you are poor. Or get accepted to some investment signaling filter like YC where you get to run as fast as you can for months while uprooting your life.

Edit: It won't let me reply to you, but ya I think ICOs can be legit. See ETH, WTC, SNM. There are bad actors too, but at it's best it's a way to route investment capital to creators regardless of socio-economic condition or location. You are correct that you have to tie the value of the chain back to they success of the product somehow. One way would be to share dividends.
Waldo Photos | Front-End Engineer | Austin, TX | ONSITE | REMOTE | Full-time | $70k - $80k plus equity

Waldo Photos is a photo finding platform empowering consumers to toss their selfie sticks, put their phones back in their pockets and live in the moment. Waldo is the only platform that removes all of the friction in getting photos of you taken by others and creates new opportunities for photographers to market and sell their photos.

We're looking for an independent problem-solver who values learning, keeps current on technology trends, and enjoys the ownership and accountability that is expected from early-stage team members. The ideal candidate:

Desired Qualifications:

- Proficiency in React and Redux (built and shipped, 2 years of experience desired)

- Some experience in GraphQL and related libraries like Relay or Apollo (or at least some friction with those and willingness to learn)

- Strong design engineering skills (HTML/CSS/UX implementations)

- In depth understanding of the JavaScript ecosystem. Including but not limited to: ES2015/6/7, Babel, Webpack, Node.js runtime differences, Universal JavaScript, Unit test runners and supporting frameworks

The part of our stack you'd be primarily working on:

We're heavy GraphQL users and all our web properties are based on React. Our main frontend web property is built on top of Apollo and Redux while we have some properties using just Redux (but still interfacing with GraphQL).

Our hiring process:

We don't do algorithmic interviews, we provide a take-at-home mini-test focused on the frontend and then you'll have a couple of discussions with some of our engineers about it.

Our vacation policy is very flexible.

I suppose it varies regionally. To me, merely owning a lawn is something reserved for the upper crust, let alone having the time to maintain one. The middle class lives in small apartments and rents houses (with roommates or extended family).

I lived in China for 4 months and it was the greatest. No matter where I was in the country I had access to bikes. I was able to get cheaper housing away from bustling transit stations but within 5 minutes of biking, and just bike to the stations, for minimal cost, which meant that I saved a huge amount of money on rent, got some exercise, and just generally enjoyed my experience living in Chinese cities more. When I traveled around the country I still could use the bikes, and I had no worries of whether or not my bike would be stolen. It opened up a bunch of possibilities for me.

The dumping and chaos is certainly a problem but I'm confident those details can be solved if city governments are willing to play ball. I've heard in China a lot of the dumping is by city employees who need to fix something but bikes are in the way, so they toss them into piles—but that kind of thing seems like a logistical detail, not an inherent aspect of the system.
Network Forensics Training at BlackHat USA
I'm in a similar basket with my non-work projects and to be honest, most of what Linode is missing is available if you use multiple providers.

For instance, I use OVH object storage in conjunction with an image hosting site on Linode. The latency from OVH Canada to Newark is small enough its pretty seamless and if OVH Canada goes down, I can use an EU location with higher latency. Linode fails over to their London location (assuming there is enough availability with VMs, the spin up may be automated but I run 0 webservers there 99.9% of the time).

Personally, I wouldn't pick DO because they tend to have poorly disclosed problems with their "new features" that you really only get an answer to if you contact support or dig through their documentation. For instance, DO's object store doesn't handle index files at all but everyone else's does. So if you try to switch, you almost immediately end up with "eh...srsly?" moment.

Linode and other hosts at least deploy the standard feature set when they expect money from you.

PrompterAI | Helsinki, Finland (Onsite) | Backend engineer, Product designer | https://prompter.ai

We're a team of 3 (technical) founders and now hiring the first people to join us. The company is in a very early stage so you get to have a real impact and build things from the ground-up. That being said, we do have the product up and running with a bunch of active users providing us constant feedback, as well as funding to pay reasonable salaries.

At PrompterAI we build a virtual assistant for people working in sales and account management. The information they need to keep up with is scattered around tons of different tools: LinkedIn, news, email, Slack, CRM, support ticketing system, intranet etc. Based on users' calendar, who they are meeting with and what the meetings are about, we filter and aggregate relevant information from all those tools and compile it into a daily briefing package. It's kind of like a virtual executive assistant that helps people to keep up with everything and making sure no balls get dropped.

If you're interested, drop me a line at lauri (at) prompter.ai, happy to chat more :)
Jobcase | Boston/Cambridge MA | onsite | full time | https://www.jobcase.com/about_us

Jobcase runs a set of job boards and a professional social network focused on the almost 3/4 of the country that doesn't have a four-year college degree. We're growing quickly, with 80MM registered members, and are mostly self-funded to 100+ employees, so we're highly focused on data-driven decisions and making smart capacity investments for the future. We're one of Boston Business Journal's Best Places to Work (again!).

Recruiting for multiple roles, especially:

Platform engineer (including technical lead) - Build all our core systems (including interesting architecture/scaling problems), working on a well-documented code base in a team with a strong review culture and very clear communications. We use a Java/Hibernate stack; happy to get applications from people with experience in comparable technologies.

Front-end engineer - Build all our member-facing applications including Jobcase.com, working mostly in Ruby on Rails. Drive the member experience for acquisition and social network features, working closely with product management and design/UX.

Quantitative data analyst - Own a slice of our business metrics and drive member acquisition and engagement. Send email/SMS communications, work with engineering to build new flows and features, and come up with experiments to optimize the member experience.

Data science / machine learning / information retrieval (experienced) - Help our members find relevant advice and jobs, and our colleagues make good decisions. Have a direct impact on revenue and on engagement, working with a team that's making major optimizations for our members and with colleagues who are uniformly data-savvy.

Interview process is a phone screen, then onsite interviews, with onsite design exercise and/or take-home coding/analysis exercise. Happy to answer questions, jberk at jobcase.com - my team works pretty closely with all of those teams.

Likely a large genetic component. Also the bacteria in your mouth could (possibly also due to your own genetics) be different. I've also never had a cavity filled, I'm 32 and have one spot on an x-ray that dentists disagree on so I've left it.
I'm reasonably familiar with the physics and artistic implications of sensor size, and I know an unsettling number of people (typically Canon or Nikon fans) that don't know why they think 35mm is the perfect size for a sensor, but they know that it is, and they know they need one.

There's two things I love about 35mm - first, along with most numbers used in photography, it shows Americans can cope with (and indeed embrace) metric, and second the origin is a 'let's get 16 frames to the foot of motion picture film' arbitrary decision made in the late 1800's.

That it defines so many amateur photographers' desires 130 years later is perversely delightful.
