I really don't understand why some of you take this "advice" so to heart. As if this is just cut into stone, and you follow it to the letter. This is a good general guideline to follow for someone that is completely clueless about what to do with investing. You've got guys further down the thread proposing you write your own day trading software, because THAT will surely work out in your favor. Do your research. Geez.
No, they just have to be vastly less likely to be top 0.001% at math. In any activity where you can distinguish the top 0.001% talents versus the top 0.01%, you're going to get way fewer women at the top. One of the reasons is, half their cells are using one X chromosome and half are using the other, so they're more likely to get their performance dragged down by deleterious mutations.
It's really funny how you describe my job perfectly. It started as Hadoop bandwagon, and now it's Kafka/Big Data/Kubernetes.

The basic idea of Kubernetes is really great. But it's not really finished development yet, and already bloated as hell. If you add that most of the stuff also runs on Openstack, which has the exact same problem, and developers who still don't understand that this is not a silo-build sysstem, you end up in an environment where 100+ people only work on getting your stuff installed with the same control you would have with a signle developer, ssh and init scripts.

PS: my comment isn't even in the minus anymore. It often happens that the first 1-2 views give negative comments and then it gets upvoted quite far. Not sure why. From my perspective I write as objective as possible. But also don't really want to think about it too much. For some people my thoughts seem valuable enough, so it's fine.
>For one, it suggests that blacks share an equal responsibility for segregation as whites. //

The model on that page does nothing of the sort. You, or others, may do that in response to viewing it.

The model simply shows how individual tendency towards segregation causes macroscopic segregation and that if there are also elements that will choose diversity, in the model, then segregation can be greatly reduced.

>segregation continues to be something imposed on black people and not the result of mutual preferences //

I was looking at school information recently in the UK [1]. The statistics strongly suggested ethnic minority groups choosing schooling based in part on race and that the choice they're making is for greater segregation.

>"The data, which was processed by Professor Simon Burgess of the University of Bristol and analysed by Demos, exclusively for the Demos Integration Hub, show that children from Bangladeshi, Pakistani and Black Caribbean communities are particularly likely to attend schools with a disproportionate level of other students sharing their ethnic background." [ibid] //

Maybe you're right about USAmerica and that there are no non-white racists there. But it's clear to me that segregationist doesn't, ironically, split along racial lines.

The “living comfortably” part is a bit vague, but by any reasonable definition someone who is earning an average salary in a country which frequently appears in the top 5 of the various human development/quality of life indices is very likely to be living a good life. You can’t say the same for someone sleeping on a dirt floor.
Cool project. Thank you for sharing this here.
You can't hope to maintain a Moon settlement off the back of ultra-rich peoples' vacation fads. For one, the whole scheme would collapse once the super-rich get bored.

A moon base needs better and more stable funding, and for that it needs a reason. Science will not be enough, but the demands of a cislunar economy (propellant, off-world settlements for workets) just might.
We know each other, I trust the vision is long term and theyd compensate me with some equity and a good salary whenever they can afford it
It seems relevant to add here that the most famous message from the trollbox was "What if price falls to 2k?", which became a popular meme in the community when talking about price. The guy was referring to satoshis instead of dollars though.

Many people believed BitGrail was a good guy, a tiny minority thought they were evil, and few believed that they were just plain stupid. And we believed that a centralised entity can paradoxically store Nano better than some web wallet, and waited patiently for Ledger support.

It's a shame that this stuff happened to Nano as the community is one of the best in crypto, with quite a lot of developer involvement [1].

If Nano meets it's TX throughput and speed guarantees, all of that while proving that the network is resistant to spamming or can cope with it by chain pruning effectively, this little DAG wunderkind will definitely be here to stay.

A large part of the early holders may be bitter by what happened on that Italian exchange though.

Nano's struggle resembles the Bitcoin Early Days. Being a Protocol Adopter means ultimately embracing the idea of being a lab rat. And rats may inherit the post-human (or post-fiat money) world.

In theory the goal is "launch and iterate", but yeah, the incentives add up to "launch and leave".
Good points, thanks for your insight
No I apologise, I think I was being at least half sarcastic.

I fully recognize that Apple didn't legally do anything wrong by taking Qualcomm up on a deal which was clearly in breach of competition rules for Qualcomm to offer.

However it could only be market abuse due to Apple's size and dominance in the phone/tablet field, and it is also true to say that Apple would have known that the deal they were being offered was unlawful. If they had offered this deal to my kickstarter single board computer project it would have been insignificant. Apple do not have clean hands in this.

>they’re more unusual in fighting against Qualcomm.

Yes, but didn't this begin in an argument over the size of the rebate they were due? I may be wrong in supposing it was a primary factor. Either way this is after they benefited for some years.

I feel like we are agreeing, but emphasizing different areas?
Thanks, good point
Well Linux is quite a monolith despite day-1 criticism about that fact. They call their style "pragmatism" and in some regards the market seems to validate it.
Just a reminder, that embrace, extend, and exterminate (aka extinguish) was both an anti-competitive strategy with collateral damage to society, and simply acting with normal self-interest to help customers.

Even if one believes a post-Gates/Ballmer/Myhrvold Microsoft no longer behaves illegally/unethically, one can still look forward to an embrace being followed by extension and extinguishing. Because that's how the incentives play out.

Embrace: Of course we want to give our users the best, even when some of that originated elsewhere.

Extend: We're not going to hold back our users by waiting on slow-moving standards bodies - often slowed by our competitors. Helping competitors isn't a priority for us. And the wellbeing of those few people who aren't our users, is understandably also not a high priority for us.

Exterminate: Why should we expend any effort at all towards keeping competitors viable? Why shouldn't we actively help potential customers join us? Why should we prioritize resources to helping a few disgruntled ones leave? Why shouldn't we fully monetize our intellectual property, both directly, and through affiliated third-parties like Intellectual Ventures?

Microsoft failed on phones, but VR/AR is coming, and it will transform the market for phones, laptops, and desktops. Once upon a time Microsoft created Windows-only web extensions. Now Mozilla writes them for it. Windows Everywhere may still happen. And "you can use Linux inside of Windows" is a big step towards that. It's not clear that's something to be happy about.
Even though he proved "soul conjecture", no university in the US wanted to give him a tenure job. Instead, they offered him a tenure track position. Once he proved the Poincare, every one wants him on their faculty.

Because of this, Princeton offered Manjul Bhargava (another Fields winner) a tenure job right away without putting on the rigma role of tenure-track.
To see why this is not true think about the average difference in men and women’s height and the relative prevalence of men and women among people 1.6, 1.7, 1.8, 1.9m tall, etc.
Agreed. I had to make something using jQuery after a couple years of working almost exclusively with React I found that I could mimic react components using jQuery plugins and it looks and works pretty good.
Yeah the kool-aid stuff is really annoying. Btw have you checked out the details of systemd slices? I somehow thought it's nearly the same as docker, just without the hype. Just practical technology on the level it's supposed to be.
I did some work one time for a patent attorney. When he was teaching me how to draft patents, I being on the minimalist side would always balk at repetition - such a long lists of items that are especially synonymous or things already stated elsewhere. He agreed that they were kind of dumb and repetitious but the purpose was to have it on multiple places in case it was vague (or too specific!) in any single description. It annoyed me to no end.

Also the recent Maine dispute over the oxford comma kind of made me understand that better.
They. Theyve been working on it for a few months and have put some money into it. I know they want me on the team as they believe in me, and theyd be willing to compensate me financially as soon as they can afford to

How to Block Websites from Hijacking Your CPU and Mining Cryptocurrency
3D printing is a real technology that just doesn't make sense for a consumer product. Autonomous vehicles make a little more sense as a consumer product, but aren't anywhere close to being a real technology.

In particular, I'm always confused about how autonomous vehicles are supposed to solve congestion. There wouldn't be fewer cars on the road. Actually there would be more, because some percentage of the fleet would be en route to pick someone up rather than in use. And I see no chance of them reducing total trips.

But it's impossible to respond to a string of videos, so I don't know if this is relevant to the posted "article", which, it should be noted, is from a VC group that's _heavily_ invested in this tech and benefits from prolonging the hype.

True. It's too early to say whether or not quantum computers will practically outperform classical computers on machine learning tasks or any task at all.

Like Shor's factoring and Grover's algorithm, machine learning problems like solving systems of linear equations have been mathematically proven to have a quantum speedup. The problem is engineering quantum computers well enough that they can outperform classical computers on these tasks. We are currently working on that and it will take a couple of decades at least.

Hope is not lost. There are also a couple of theories that hybrid classical/quantum computers of the next decade or so will perform some tasks like quantum chemistry and approximate optimization (which can be used in machine learning) better than classical computers. Only time will tell.

Agree, you need a whole set of tools to go from continuous delivery to continuous deployment.

The most important are reducing the blast radius, early detection, and reducing the mean time to repair.

In GitLab we offer incremental rollouts, auto monitoring, and soon auto rollback to help with these.

If you deploy each change you can't afford to handhold it.
At close to 20 years of experience, I consider myself pretty senior and every job I've has had a 6 months probation period.

During that time both the employee and/or the company can terminate the contract giving a small notice - one week in every country I've worked, but it might be different in other places. In most companies you don't even have access to some (or all) benefits - pension, healthcare, shares... - until you pass that period.

I don't know about your experience, but from where I come from it's almost a fact of life and one of the things you have to weight when looking to move to a new position.
Ours did it right after birth - I know one shouldn‘t prescribe meaning to it but it‘s really quite something seeing it. I got photos but I guess I shouldn‘t upload publicly.
I like this option, similar to how apps request permissions on a mobile OS. There could be a default list of modifications an external javascript script can run, any further access must be explicitly white listed by the developer. Then even if the script was malicious, at least the impact is controlled.

for instance, maybe the default is that an external script can read the DOM but needs extra permissions to write/modify it?
This is the missing PostgreSQL client for OSX that I have been looking for. I am blown away by the intuitive UX. First time user and I already feel like I have been using the app for months.
I think the context that a lot of people seem to miss is that this default was never used in practice with a real Linux distro. So in effect it was never really an issue in the real world since the default was always changed.
One of the twists, when you're considering African nations, is that most of them had their borders drawn by empires, and almost all of them (maybe all) encompass more than one and often many peoples as different from each other in culture and language as the Spanish are from the Finns. Congo, for example, is as large as western Europe, includes many ethnicities at odds with each other, and given it has been the site of Africa's world war since shortly after the Rwandan genocide in the 90s, you could say that it, too, has failed as a nation-state.
The ability to smile is not necessarily connected to the meaning of a smile, though. The article seems to assume a connection between smiling and happiness that isn't necessarily supported. (A good explanation of such a connection would need to contrast it to other aspects of communication which we don't question the cultural basis for.)
But most likely accurate.
yes! I wish I could upvote more.
The other aspect of CI/CD that bugs me is the dramatic increase in complexity. I thought KISS and Occam's Razor would kill the CI/CD efforts.

I’m honestly really surprised to hear that view. If anything, I’ve found it much simpler. For some insight as to how my current team works:

- feature development happens on git branches
- all pushes to github are automatically tested on CI, built, and produce a deployable artifact
- any artifact can be deployed to a fully-featured staging environment
- Builds from the master branch are automatically deployed to production
- the product owner is responsible for acceptance testing the feature in the staging environment
- a PR into the master branch is raised for code review
- when this branch is never, after product owner approval, the feature is live.

It’s delightfully simple and entails no release schedule. Large features can be placed behind feature flags and allow other teams to activate feature for user groups as required.

Honestly I can’t imagine going back to releases ever again.
Ditto. I was intrigued and eagerly reading and then looked for the "more" button.
Self-employed persons can also contribute to a Solo (or "Individual") 401(k), which has slightly more generous contribution limits as a percentage of self-employed income.

If you're not getting paid, and you're only getting employee equity, you're getting screwed. They might not be able to afford the salary now, but they can definitely afford the equity - it's just a number on some paper, especially before investors are involved.

Part of the reason that founders get a lot of equity is to offset the cost of not getting paid for the early years of starting the company, and being below market rates afterward. If you're getting paid, then sure, getting less equity makes sense - in two years, if it goes belly up, you have two years of salary, they have nothing.

Whatever you choose, get everything in writing first. Even best friends can become enemies when there's money and verbal agreements involved.
This is a great point. People on HN often forget that data science is more than just machine learning, and that we have existing computing infrastructure (beyond AWS) to interface with.

The reason almost any developer should have heard of linked lists is that understanding them is fairly fundamental to understanding a bunch of other useful data structures.

Some of it may be a terminology problem as well - frontend devs may not have met "linked lists" but what's the difference between a doubly linked list and a straight series of nested objects where no object has more than one child?

I like it when an article has a TL,DR; as a subtitle.
The advice to use index funds is sound and most people should follow it. But that “bet” is a very weak argument for it. Buffett bet against a particular hedge fund manager who as far as I can tell was only in it for the publicity.

There are plenty of hedge funds which beat the market so significantly and so consistently over long timespans (even decades) that choosing any single one of them would have handily won the bet. But the bet was for a “fund of funds” approximately tracking the aggregate hedge fund industry, not any particular one. Buffett wouldn’t have taken a bet involving any of the single superlative funds because he understands this point already.

The core thesis vindicated by that bet is simply this: most participants in the market don’t do well. You didn’t really need a public bet with a famous investor to prove this - the stats have been available for quite a while. Buffett obviously believes people can beat the market, or he wouldn’t be in the business he’s in.

Therefore, the point stands. It’s dogmatic to act as though beating the market is impossible. It’s not necessarily advisable to try it because it’s quite difficult, but throwing around citations of Buffett’s bet don’t really improve honest education. Most people aren’t going to become pro athletes either, so you shouldn’t bank your future on it. But that doesn’t mean it’s impossible or that you can’t (responsibly) pursue it.
Robo advisors are just a way to nickel and dime investors for a very minimal service. Go to an ordinary discount brokerage like Vanguard, Schwab, or Fidelity, and buy 2-4 mutual funds or ETFs (total US stock, total international stock, total bond).
That's essentially what Docker containers have done to server-side applications. Every application is isolated from the host in a container and bundled with only the dependencies it needs. The only shared component is the kernel and anything you mount into it from the host.

Copper and iron can be refined reasonably enough using heat. Maybe it's possible to "pitch" metallic ore into very close and highly a eccentric orbit around the sun to help melt it down before "catching" it on the other side.

Perhaps acids could be brought up and recycled?
