Hey there! Creator here.

I actually did set this up with i18n in the back of my mind; all of the copy lives in 1 file, so I imagine it wouldn't be _too_ much work!

If there are volunteers to copy it into other languages (the only other one I know is French and I wouldn't trust myself to get the details right), I can spend some time working on getting it to support it.

EDIT: Also, not a typo :) I wanted to make sure users try out both sliders in that section, since you get a lot of interesting effects. When the convergence is 100%, you get phase cancellation. When it's 50%, you get some really groovy looking waveforms.
I think it's passive selection for reproducing in your late teens or early twenties out of bad luck. Even a century ago, your wealth level had a tremendous impact on whether or not your prodigy will survive, so there was an evolutionary selection for social success; with modern welfare state, I don't think that there's any selection bias towards the wealthy.
I think imartin2k is reading this:

surprisingly there is no concern about the under-
representation of women in lower-level technical
jobs, such as car mechanics or plumbing

And then reading this, two paragraphs below in the same article:

These differences are socially important because these
tend to be prestigious occupations, and practically
important because the different numbers of men and women
in these fields contribute, in part, to the sex
difference in earnings.

When I read the article, this incongruity made me feel the surprise was feigned for rhetorical effect. And I was shocked - shocked! - to find crass rhetorical tricks in an article about gender bias in STEM :)
It's kinda sad the public just eat it up.
I have been scrobbling for years, but never really use the website itself.

What would you like to see in terms of significant new features and changes?
I do not like the typical example of this which is razors. If pink razors are 50% more expensive then you can just buy the blue ones no? They are literally same except for the color.

The pianist still improvises within the grammar and syntax of the art form, say jazz or pop. (Our devises an entirely new vocabulary and grammar of their own.) This is different from just style add these kinds of improvisation have a set of rules and are very different from form free play.

6 Best Health and Fitness Tracker App: Make Your Life Better
I thing we can agree that raising kids in SF is very expensive, and that there are more single moms than single fathers.

> women are paid less for the same work

Gender pay gap is generally accepted fact.

> more expenses because they are women, they have more expenses because of the choices they made)

Not sure I understand. Family is not really a choice. And choice/not choice is irrelevant in argument. Goal is to get more women into STEM, one can not forbid people to have a children.
>can you remember even one comparable failure from Apple?

Apple's products are big ugly failures very often:

- Siri is a disappointment from usability point of view and ridiculed on the internet when compared to other digital assistants

- Apple Newton

- Apple servers, where it turned out that in the server market a shiny case doesn't matter as much as power, efficiency, and cost (bang for your buck)

- G4 Cube

- Any of their several mouses

- Any of their several keyboard

- The U2 itunes incident

- The "You're holding it wrong" fiasco

- The recent hilarious iphone X calculator bugs

- iPhone bending
Yes but for some people the word "probably" is not going to work.

Agreed. While we still legally have freedom of speech, the real-life ramifications for speaking your mind can be enormous these days. Try being an outspoken Trump supporter in the tech bubble and see what happens. That's why I exclusively engage in internet discourse using pseudonyms like this one. When I was growing up, it was common sense that you don't use your real name on the internet. Now people have surrendered common sense to the social media companies and happily (and ignorantly) identify themselves in their posts, comments, tweets, blogs, etc. Many of them have suffered drastic consequences for doing so.

What on earth gives you the impression it's appropriate for you to prevent other users from wanting a company to have/build certain features?

It's neither the user's wish, nor the company as the company most certainly wants user feedback. Your post quite literally is only there to satisfy yourself.
>What's being patented isn't the math, it's the implementation of that math.

That makes absolutely zero sense as an argument.

It is absolutely the mathematical principles being patented otherwise how can you possibly prosecute anyone of an independently implemented implementation of the maths?
Phone lines? Are line phones still so popular in Germany that it even requires network expansion? In my country copper lines are basically left to rot as line phones are being replaced by cell/IP phones rapidly. In some cases people living in remote areas were issued free cell phones, because it was cheaper than repairing old copper lines.
Your question is orthogonal to my point. You seem to be wanting to be get to a different point. All I’m saying is that these social cues are often overlooked in these discussions.

As far as fixing the problem, no we can’t correct all limiting stereotypes overnight or even for a very long time. But we should work on it. The least we can do is be supportive of those who try to succeed in spite of the stereotypes.
> Beliefs are value-neutral. Only arguments for or against beliefs can be political or not.

I wonder why you didn't go a step further to postulate "only actions can be political or not". Of course argument is action, but it could be claimed that only argument qua action is political.

> You're wrong, and you're conflating two unlike things.

The problem is that you can be both of those things at the same time, it takes time and an understanding of legalese to untangle when you're a customer vs. when you're a product, and Google makes basically all of its money from surveillance. If you have multiple PREF cookies (product), will Google use G Suite (customer) info to merge those profiles?
The only Microsoft hardware you can buy is a Surface, this scope seems like an insignificantly narrow topic of conversation.
I'm sorry for you to hear, but there's more poor and miserable people in the world than affluent ones.

Doesn't make anything that I have said less valid.

I just want to see Windows crowd admit that they left their audience down, and etch that on the back of their eyelids. Because right now they're in quantum entalgnement state, where they simultaneously admit it, but then again "but maybe it wasn't so bad after all, we got to keep most of market share".

You let my mom down, for god's sake.

Just stop. Admit and never forget. It was exactly as bad as you fear to remember and then some.
California's Video Game Industry Dominance May Be in Jeopardy
Not sure, but Microsoft seems to believe that a blockchain-based identity system would be more privacy-friendly for users and would remove many of the compliance issues for companies, because they wouldn't have to handle the PII themselves.

Before GDPR passed I was actually arguing that the EU should increase liabilities and penalties for companies that store any information outside of the data that's strictly necessary for the functioning of the service and suffer a data breach exposing all of that data. This would have encouraged companies to encrypt the data end-to-end so they wouldn't be liable in case of a data breach. Plus, if they did that, there wouldn't be any data to steal in the data breach anyway.

I don't think they ended up pursuing that goal per se, maybe because the technology wasn't quite there, either, but perhaps GDPR will indirectly end-up having much of that effect anyway, especially with blockchain technology kind of showing the way for building those sort of systems now.

Plus, the GDPR does require consent for much of the data that you store, unless it's strictly necessary for the functioning of the service, it's just that it's not quite the same as outright banning the practice, because companies could always do what they did with the EU cookie and come up with a solution where basically 95% of the users end-up giving their "consent" automatically. It's probably not going to be as easy as it was for the EU cookie this time around, but I'm still expecting some of that to happen.
First, please do not get too hung up about "all people are created equal". It's just an example in this context.

> If we are in search of truth and want to build a consistent model of the world then we just can't accept this kind of reasoning.

Yes, you can. It's called generalizing. Remember, we're not doing math here, this is ethics.

Think about all the different situations where being treated equally to someone else is a good thing. Now you generalize that into "everyone is created equal", and that turns into a justification for all these situations.

If you want to criticise the generalization into A, there is a way:

Construct some C so that

1) A => C

2) C is not beneficial

Alternatively, you can attack the implication "A => B" or you can question whether or not B is beneficial.
Bloodshed, Narcotics, and Grand Thievery in the History of Matrices (2016)
They only describe it in the context of the workplace and in degree-granting institutions, not in earlier schools or in the home where minds are in their formative stages. It’s microagression for sure, but they are overlooking the more powerful instances of it.

I really appreciate that this clickbait and influencer garbage is now separated from snaps and stories of my contacts. I don't get why this would make the app less usable. Snapchat was never an app with great UX but I think the new update is a great improvement.
I'm guessing this is a bug. It asked me once (per device), and never asked again. Or I'm too trusting, and this is indeed a change in behavior for new customers.

Introduction to iq option using support and resistance 5m candles
Interesting idea! I think that, as another commenter said, there's a lot in that "apart from..." - I feel like I risk oversimplifying it (plus, as I'm sure you know, convincing physical instruments are notoriously hard to reproduce with oscillators and envelopes and filters alone).

But yeah, maybe I could do more to show just how wide the application of this concept is... it's not just limited to abstract waveforms, it's the fundamental rules for all instruments. Will give this some thought (and if you have ideas for how to demo it, let me know!)
I think the best use case is would be for non-profit that depend on donations like Wikipedia or perhaps video streaming websites like Youtube(consumed using Desktop).

Then again, a lot of beliefs have direct, strong and immediate consequences on your actions. So if your action is political, and you did that action because of your belief, is your belief still apolitical?
Can it use TinyC? TinyC compile time is about 9 times faster than GCC, so warm up time can possibly be shorter, although the JIT performance gain also be less because TinyC performs only basic optimizations.

Thank you! The pedagogy was super important to me (I work at Khan Academy, so I suppose that was a given, haha). I really tried to make it not just a gimmick, but have the interactions/animations help clarify what's difficult for words/static images to explain.

Can you imagine the stupid amounts of lawsuits that could be generated if Google were in the habit of scanning business documents and reselling information about them to third parties? I know they have a ToS, but the aggregate legal departments of all their GSuite customers are preeeetty big.

World War "A" –  What you must do when aliens attack
I think that preparing for the worst case is understandable, but this way of preparing seems totally misguided and very childish.

I like the way Bill Gates is preparing much more, he is actively working and spending his billions to avoid collapse.

Peter Thiel and his likes seem to actively work toward collapse, gaming the system and profiting from the misery of the less fortunate along the way. Hoping to reestablish an "improved" version of their society elsewhere, even after its collapse, is beyond belief.

I hope that having friends will help more than having property, in the event of society collapse. At the very least, I'd hope NZ would quickly take all his money as a special "solidarity tax", if that day would come.
Ask HN: I have £100k to spend. How can I use it to increase my quality of life
I'm a 32 yr old software dev and have been working pretty hard to save over £100k GBP. I have decided to quit my job, and hopefully discover some new passions over the next few years

- Want to learn more life skills, and challenge different parts of my brain, and have different experiences to stay stimulated
- The lifestyle is not healthy, sitting all day, staring at screens, you don't fully undo the damage even by breaking up the day with frequent exercise. All of my close colleagues have poor posture
- It's easy to become isolated, I work in an open plan office surrounded by smart people with headphones on
- I don't see myself growing older to continue working on a computer when I'm 60. My body is giving me signs that I won't be able to. My father is over 60 and does pottery full time and loves it.

The goal here is to find a lifestyle where I can stay active throughout the day and discover new passions which I may pursue.

Looking for any advice on this, how do you find a new passion? How would you spend the money? I went straight from college to full time employment and haven't stopped working until now. My passion has always been software development. I wouldn't mind investing in courses like blacksmithing, welding, dancing, cooking! Maybe volunteering on a farm. Train to become a paramedic? Become a yoga instructor? Learn the violin.

Feels silly starting dance lessons at 32, ideally I would have started while younger. On the plus side, I do have a big chunk of money which can pay for specialised training, something harder to do when you're younger (you have the time but not the money).

My yearly costs are around £20k, supportive partner, no kids, live near London. Mentally prepared that after a few years I can struggle to get a job in software dev if I want one and prepared that I may not earn any money for the next few years. I'm taking a risk that I'll find a passion and be able to monetize when the time comes. I do have some backup savings.
The only thing that is currently keeping me from deleting my account is the chat functionality, The author makes a good point when it comes to the amount of "friends" you actually care about. My life would probably be no different if I never heard from 90 % of my Facebook friends ever again. However, it will probably be quite difficult to convince my friends to migrate to a different service. Another problem is the rare occation when I have to contact an acquaintance. Without Facebook this would mean going hunting for their contact info, which might be difficult.
I wouldn't be so sure. Security issues are bad publicity. Even Microsoft patches known pirate copies of their os for security reasons.

FWIW, I often read about these PC-related things in the US (and sometimes Canada). Much less so in Europe, although they start playing catch-up with their new hate speech laws.

As a German I can (mostly) speak my mind about men vs women, the only minefield there is IMO (remotely) Nazi-related stuff, e.g., try to criticize Israel foreign policy or mass immigration.
I agree.

HamWAN looks really cool (I wish we had something like it in the SF Bay Area).

I'd argue that repeaters linked over something like HamWAN are "RF based", they just happen to use internet protocols, and that's great IMHO.
We need to develop AI that can detect and eliminate ads.

If Apple integrates this into their OS/hardware, then that would eliminate the incentive of tracking in the first place.
What's really annoying about this is that women are not underrepresented in STEM careers! The article mentions if anything, they are overrepresented in the life sciences, and are only underrepresented in math at the doctoral level. The issue is that we are suddenly defining STEM as computer science and engineering only, and that those are apparently the only worthwhile aspects of STEM. The sexism thing and message thing is odd when you realize women in general can make up to two thirds of science teachers.

I think the problem with computer science in general is that it's one of the few careers you need to like at an early age and do a lot of self-directed study before you even enter college, or you are at a disadvantage compared to others. This affects both men and women, and keep in mind most men aren't interested in those fields either.

Thanks for this! To be honest, my music theory isn't that deep; I had never heard of equal temperament or just intonation. I think I just did the math based on a note-to-frequency table I googled. Clearly I have some research to do!

I did find the chord a little "off", but I thought that was just me. Originally, the audible frequencies for the other bits were completely outside the western music scale, and so the chord sounded _really_ off.
Of course it's their right to decide the features. Just as it is my right to talk about how their given reasons for their decisions don't seem to make sense and let that influence my view of the company. Which is all we're doing here: talking about the companies to inform each other.
I can't compare services too well but I'll toss Migadu into the hat.

It's basically just an IMAP server. They have webmail but otherwise it's on you to provide a client.

So far it's been great, I switched from gmail and I am not looking back. They give really nice clear instructions on setting up your DNS properly and the pricing isn't too bad.

My main motivation was to get onto a service that lets me have my own domain. Once you're off gmail you are then free to choose and switch between whatever you like.
I was thinking about this today as I went through my browsing history from half a year ago. I'm not too worried. If anyone had access to that data they still wouldn't know what I was up to, what adventures I had, or even anything significant about me as a person. Cross-referencing to any posts I had made wouldn't help much, especially as I'm a big troll and write whatever nonsense I want. Maybe they would know some of my preferences back then, but those have changed by now. I think the problem is a lot of people lead ritualized, static lives, carrying around the same identities and ego structures for years and years. Such people are easily predictable, and controllable.
Don't Let Criminals Hide Their Data Overseas
Really funny how we've come full circle to the same centralized cabals acting as the gatekeepers decentralized currency was meant to destroy.

It just goes to show, as long as the world runs on fiat currency, and you need to convert from cryptocurrency -> fiat to live your life, the conversion point (e.g. Coinbase) will always be a point of failure and regulatory capture.
I can't actually see it, but I believe this ticket[0] in the Chromium bugtracker is for Spectre mitigations (in V8). If you search in the V8 commit log for BUG=chromium:798964, you'll find a number of commits affecting most of the backends (and if you're really looking, you'll also see related or similar commits which are no longer tagged with the bug number, later in the log)

> Lastly, enforcement against unethical illegal behavior has become easier. Reducing the need of cynical and paranoid reasons to prohibit mergers. Only when there is actual concern of legal unethical actions negatively causing market consolidation and preventing startup incubation, the FTC will not be doing any of the things the paranoid want it to do.

Let me just reply instead of downvoting.

It is clear from a slew of radical movements by the new US administration that it has contempt for consumers and has zero interest in enforcing existing laws against big corporations. It's all about growth at all costs, and government agencies that have explicit charters to protect consumers, the environment, and the marketplace, have been or are in the process of being gutted.

You're being downvoted because you labeled everyone who offers resistance to mergers as paranoid and cynical. That's perjorative and unhelpful. Very many people have valid reasons for being distrustful of big, unrestrained corporations. Reasons based on a long track record of them stomping on consumers and their employees.
I like daggers as much as the next guy (do you know the code for double dagger when you need a second one). However plenty of publications mix footnote citations and footnote comments in the same style without any confusion or aesthetic issues. Is there a good reason (other than coolness) to use dagger?
There are a number of different lines of enquiry one might take on this subject (and I'm sure they have been taken by those in research in philosophy or politics). For example, is being able to restrain oneself from acting on one's deeply held beliefs necessary to function in civilised society? Isn't it even possible to have mutally contradictory beliefs, thus making acting on them impossible under certain circumstances?
Benefits of Working in a CoWorking Office

I don't use WhatsApp myself but I was surprised to find that members of my extended family (mostly in their 50s) had started using it to stay in touch rather than Facebook.

Also, from what I have read, WhatsApp is very popular in UK political circles (MPs, SPADs etc.).
In principle I like that I no longer have to look at all that clickbait shite when I go to look at Stories, that said the UX of the new friends screen is pretty wild. The app is also now almost unusably slow on my Nexus 5X - not THAT old a phone - which probably contributes to peoples' reactions.

I feel like this change is probably bad for Snapchat's revenue (in terms of clickthrough to sponsored articles etc) and good for the user, which is a refreshing trend, so I hope that if there is any reaction to this it is to improve UX on the friends screen and performance overall, and not to roll back.
