> Car Navigation Systems Arrogantly Charge Forward Against Products That Are A Decade Ahead of Them.

Very droll. On the nose, but also droll.

> There's a few more steps to do this on mobile, so I prefer to use the car's navigation system.

And there is no structural obstacle to this becoming even more seamless on mobile. Apple's iOS 11 already has a "car mode," and while it is highly imperfect at the moment, they are iterating a lot more rapidly than an industry that wants me to drag my car into the dealership every 12,000km for software updates.

Lets be real, emotional support animals are a completely nonsensical burden for everyone on the flight that outweighs what the passenger bringing it gets.

To update the navigational system of the car I bought 2 years ago (a 2015 model) requires me going to the dealer and spending hundreds of dollars, which is a complete ripoff compared with using Google Maps or Apple Maps on my phone.
As horrible as prison is people still get used to it. A few have trouble in when let outside and want to go back.

There is a tendency to think of such people as far outside of the norm, but it's common enough that I think it's just part of the normal human spectrum. For many the USSR was simply how things where, and many who had little power back then still think fondly of that time period. Which really should not be that surprising as for the average person prison would be worse.

That's not to downplay the bad, just notice how people can normalize repeated suffering / be willing to make different trade offs.
I'll sign off after this, as it's not clear to me whether I'm being effective.

I'm going to take a step back and look at the behavior you're describing. I'm going to use as a starting point that the moderators penalize behavior, not position.†

* Member begins commenting in a way that's unconstructive.

* Mods rate-limit the member, in an effort to limit the opportunities the member has to continue to post unconstructively.

* Member feels this is limiting their ability to respond.

It is limiting the member's ability to respond, but the member has shown that they're responses aren't, on balance, constructive. They aren't completely banned from responding, and in your case, you're aware you're rate-limited. That should make each comment you can post more valuable to you, and an opportunity to take extra care in each comment you post. It's human nature to react negatively to restrictions, so I can understand it's frustrating.

However, it's frustrating to many members who do mostly follow the guidelines and post in the spirit of the sight to have conversations degrade due to repeated behavior of a minority of members. You acknowledge the rationality behind rate limiting, and feel frustrated when it's applied to you. That's human nature, and understandable as well. It's on all of us to work against our more destructive tendencies, and help each other in doing so. "Better angels of our nature", and all that. (That's why I'm taking the time to write these comments, by the way.)

And the mods do lift rate limits. It doesn't need to be a permanent condition. Contact them via the contact link in the footer and see if there's something you can do. I encourage you to do so.

† If you don't subscribe to this, I think your options are to limit your discussions to non-contentious topics, or to stop commenting all together. You're unlikely to change how the mods moderate HN by behaving in a way they consider destructive.

While I'm fine with CloudFlare's actions here, the reason one might hold independent companies to a higher standard than governmental entities is the fact that the U.S. government has, consistently and repeatedly, proven itself almost entirely invested in corporate interests with regards to the Internet. The government cannot be expected to work in favour of Internet users' interests in any situation except those where they coincide with corporate interests.

This will remain the case, because the impact of tech-interested voters to whom elected officials' support of this status quo matters is trivialized by the apathetic majority. Therefore, the tech community's only recourse is to pressure the middlemen, such as CloudFlare, who can interfere with this type of corporate action.
Next.js 5.0
I think this is an important point. Also, there are a number of additional elements that make the film exceptional that the book lacks.

My favorite example of this is the deliberate misquotation from America, A Prophecy:

“Fiery the angels fell; deep thunder roll’d round their shores, burning with the fires of Orc.”

Fell replaces “rose”, signifying that these off-world replicants are angels falling to earth.

Truly more human than human.

Additionally, for an example of extrapolation, Blade Runner does not explore the consequences of exponentially increasing reasoning/abstraction that an artificial intelligence could theoretically achieve which human intellect could not understand.

I believe the argument stems from the difference between wasting your own money vs. wasting tax payer money.

There's plenty of examples out there of the latter (you'll often see more criticism than praise on govt spending). For example, [1].

Only by what data they gather, and this stems from what the data is needed
for. There is vast difference in purpose, though: the Bank of France is
(a) a public institution that (b) does not earn money solely by selling every
personal data they could put hands on to just about anybody. The incentives
are totally different from Equifax'.

Note also that the data collected is not even remotely about everybody, as
with Equifax.
Other benefits of my phone for navigation? It can suggest locations for meetings/events I've scheduled in my calendar, I can send snd receive locations, all my contacts are in my phone ("Directions to Celeste's House"), and on and on.

In other words, navigation turns out to be more useful when integrated with the rest of my life, just as you say.

It's a bit depressing too, considering what the HP brand used to be. They used to be synonymous with the some of the most cutting-edge, best engineered test equipment and other electronics gear you could buy. Gear from that era like the legendary HP3458 multimeter still commands very high prices on the used market ($5000 or more if calibrated).

Really that part of HP still exists at that level of quality, but they spun it off as Agilent and later Keysight. Hard to believe they squandered the original brand so completely, though.

If you're in the US, I'd recommend looking at getting a private school teaching license, generally issued by whatever body governs education. These typically don't have education requirements as long as you can demonstrate proof of work experience.

I'd also recommend looking at the opposite - nonprofit organizations hiring instructors for STEM courses; many of these will have the environment you described(I only suggest this because you mention that you are prepared to take a pay cut).

Lastly, I'd strengthen your profile/ resume by using online courses and certifications

I've used a variation of these tips to land teaching gigs at both private schools & nonprofits, and hope they serve you well.

I spent a year as a Starbucks barista, starting in late 1999, and it was a wonderful job. I think the machines they work on are more automated now, which is great for consistent quality, but I loved the skill building and quality impact I could have by being passionate. It was great to give people the thing that made them happier (that first cuppa the day), and the tips were okay. I really enjoyed many of my coworkers and we socialized outside of work a lot. The side benefit is that when you start work at 5a and your manager needs to limit you to no overtime, you get a lot of daylight for hiking and golf!
Disclaimer: I work at Backblaze

> Note: Backblaze charges a fairly hefty $0.02/gb to download, I believe, so restoring your 1TB backup will actually cost you $20.

Backblaze has two product lines, priced two separate ways:

1) Online backup for $5/computer. THIS IS FREE TO DOWNLOAD.

2) "B2" - this is "object storage" for half of one penny per GByte per month. This costs 2 cents/GByte to download. If you want to use B2, you cannot use the traditional "Online Backup Client" from Backblaze, instead you can choose a piece of software from this integrations page: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/integrations.html (scroll down, it is long). You can see pricing "per transaction" here: https://www.backblaze.com/b2/b2-transactions-price.html

Side note: the $0.02/GByte download price is definitely over-charging, and we're working to lower that. We pay 1/10th that amount wholesale for bandwidth. The fear was that if we drop our prices much more, we would become the world's cheapest CDN (Content Delivery Network) and if that occurs too fast it will overwhelm our download servers until we build out that infrastructure and gain some experience with running the world's least expensive CDN.
There does seem to be a element of: "people who value their careers more than children end up making more money" here, which seems pretty obvious when you think about it.

From a social and corporate perspective we have a choice though: should be allow incentive systems that reward people who value their careers over their children to continue? Or should we change our incentive systems so that people who value children over career earn equal wages or even more?

Which group of people is actually more valuable to society?

There can be some value in collapsible types, so long as there is a delimiter you can throw in. For instance, you could return a promise in a one-element array.

For Perl (which I don't know) I could imagine the argument went that joining arrays was common enough that having to call an explicit function would get in the way of this common case. Hopefully there was a reasonable way to box up the inner arrays to prevent splicing.

(I've been thinking about this sort of thing recently because I've been looking into J, where an array of arrays in a higher-rank array, which is important because of the way arrays are automatically split up for, say, element-wise operations. Sure enough, J has a delimiter that they call a box, so an array of boxes of arrays is not a rank-2 array.)
> The article is about the fact that children are a far greater risk for women careers that men's.

Might that be because, even in countries devoted to gender equality to an extent previously unknown to mankind, women tend to devote relatively more of their time & concern to mothering than men do to fathering?
As long as only women can get pregnant, give birth, and breast feed, it turns out that choosing to make babies will (on average) be disproportionately more work for women than men.

Obviously with unlimited resources this doesn’t have to be the case, but it will always be the average case.

This result isn’t surprising, nor does it seem something that society should be overly concerned with fixing. Choices have all sorts of positive and negative impacts, usually foreseeable ones at that. Work less to raise a family and someone in that household will earn less outside the household.

Economically both parents are still probably producing the same value, arguably the woman is producing significantly more economical value, just the economists aren’t accounting for and valuing properly the work being done inside the household so the graph is scewed.

You create a stacked line chart which tries to account for the net value of the cost-reducing housework performed by men and women in addition to the outside income producing activities, and I would bet the curve shows women driving significantly increased economic value after having children.

It’s the premise that the only metric we should be looking at is outside income which is completely flawed.
Ask HN: Why do the things you are most afraid of?
I have noticed a common theme in all the personal development articles. Do the things are you are most afraid of or if you have to choose between two then pick the solution that seems harder.

I have nothing against the terminals themselves; they serve a good purpose. It's just that the smileys somehow look a bit disturbing to me.

But happy to see them succeeding, I think giving customers a way to vent out after bad customer experience matters a lot.
For anyone learning a language and who likes this style of thing, I highly recommend the series "English Grammar for Students of <language>". Each section has two parts. The first walks though the subtleties of the English grammar, which for native speakers without a lot of formal knowledge is often necessary to understand when translating. The second section walks though the constructions in the other language, of which there are often more than one depending on what exactly the English version is accomplishing.

What we mean when we say that (statistical) machine learning models are "black
boxes" is that they are just vectors of numbers, that have no meaning that a
human can readily understand.

Note that scale doesn't have anything to do with this. Say I show you a model
my algorithm has learned, that's basically a vector of five numbers: [n1, n2,
..., n5]. Just by looking at those numbers, you can't say anything about this
model, with any certainty: what data it was trained on, what algorithm, what
classes it was trained to discriminate or if it is a regressor- or anything at
all, really. It's just a bunch of numbers.

We can compare this to the incomprehensibility of a large software, or
engineering project. There's probably no one person who can understand
everything about an airliner- but there are many people who understand its
constituent parts, down to the level of nuts and bolts. This is not so with
(statistical) machine learning models- they are numbers without recognisable
context all the way down (although there are exceptions, this is a pretty
solid rule).

And that's why people are afraid that, with (statistical) machine learning
we're riding a machine that we don't understand and therefore do not control.
It's maybe time to start up a non specist animal friendly "for real" flight company...
You have to think about it the other way around: The constituents don't have binding energy. That energy becomes available when you let them bind, and you have to pay it back if you want to unbind them.

Example: If you have a proton and an electron, making a hydrogen atom will release about 13.6 eV (if it goes to the lowest energy state). You have to spend that 13.6eV to ionize the hydrogen, i.e. to get the electron far away from the proton again.
Yes. Congress constantly pulls this rigamarole, even back in the 1974 Congressional Budget Act. That's actually why I wrote, "There is no constitutional duty to request funds". I didn't mean to imply anything else.

These requirements on the President are just a shell game from Congress to blame the President, avoid passing a budget, and pretend to be the "white-knights" each time there is a continuing resolution battle.

It is interesting to note that the CFPB passed in July 2010. Yet, 2015 was the first budget passed since 2009. I think it's safe to say that Congress has purposely engineered this situation to get the self-serving results they want.
RChain is an Ethereum competitor. It aims to fix several problems with Ethereum.

First, it will scale better: Ethereum currently runs every contract on every computer running a node, and insists on a total order on all transactions. RChain will have a notion of a rooted directed acyclic graph of regions in which contracts will run, a much finer-grained notion of transaction, and will only insist on a partial order for transactions: when they do not conflict, they can be in any order.

Second, Ethereum has no type system. This has led to bugs in various contracts and wallets. In June 2016, a buggy contract led to the theft of $50M in ETH from the DAO. The Ethereum community split into two parts: the first part insisted that "code is law" and that the hacker engaged in a series of perfectly valid transactions with the contract, so he was entitled to the ETH; the second part wanted human intervention to roll back a large transaction that was obviously a bug. They never reconciled, and "Ethereum Classic" forked off as a separate currency. Last year, someone exploited a bug in a Parity wallet and locked up $380M. Contracts are expressions of programmer intent, but programmers are human and make mistakes. Type systems allow programmers to write a kind of "summary" of their intent as a type. The compiler compares the two expressions and fails if they are not consistent. Greg Meredith (President of RChain) showed that one could have defended against the theft using a spatial-behavioral type system:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1sGlObhGhoEizBXC30Ww4h1KH...

Third, the Ethereum VM has suffered from various bugs (https://bounty.ethereum.org/) and relies on a find-and-patch system. RChain intends to formally verify as much of the platform as possible.

Last and probably least, Ethereum uses proof of work, which is basically proof of stake, but you're staking GPUs and ongoing electricity costs. RChain will use Vlad Zamfir's "correct by construction" proof of stake algorithm.
