Not entirely. It doesn't apply to the Euro as a whole and that means it doesn't apply to countries that, if they have a big banking crisis would provide a medium-or-higher risk to the Eurozone as a whole.

So it does't apply to France, Germany, Italy, Spain, perhaps Poland.
I use them all the time. I have not seen any that will ship letters abroad without a notarized 1583 form.

And of course it is possible that Facebook simply won't post letters to them (there are only a few of them around).

Yet, interview revolves around: implement a link-list/LIFO algorithm.
It's presumptuous to assume "community A is smarter than community B". It's just not even the right question to ask. Better questions to ask are "what are third party libs like?", "how active are people in this community?", "how active is the SO and other forums?". These are actionable questions.

"People who use Elm are smarter" is simply not actionable information. What does it even mean? It's meaningless.
Azure has the best "serverless" functions platform out of the major cloud providers right now. Easier deployment process and triggers to activate a function outnumber the other vendors. The new Event Grid service allows connecting them to pretty much anything, especially when used with the Logic Apps service.

AWS Lambda is decent and has features like Lambda@Edge which runs on CDN nodes and can do processing on each request.

Google Cloud Functions are basic and only support javascript with http, pub/sub and storage triggers without any integrations beyond that or into the rest of the platform.
Specifically with respect to the hiring advantage it’s a little disingenuous to not explicitly state that the creator/designer of the language works there.

That’s a significant enough reason to pick one shop over another and also a reason to opportunistically apply.

“You get to work with Evan/Guido/dhh/Gosling” is a different sell than “we use Elm/etc”.

True but don’t you have a fraction of the illegal immigration that the USA has?
The US is <50 years from it's last large default (moving off the Gold standard). This is more than most European nations.

And for nonpayment risk you obviously count the time between large defaults. Whether the person/company/country/empire/dynasty/... "dies" or not is irrelevant.

Private companies, mostly because they have no such choice, actually do better than states.
And then, real question from another recent experience: "here's our network, optimize it" ... without any insight on any existing problem to solve, nor details about constraints or requirements.
Different times, different behaviors. Now Yemen is ravaged by famine and the US is droning it.
But then the difficulty/cost shifts from basically zero to having to procure stolen identities as well as setting up PO Box/LLC.

And since Facebook is likely to be restricting numbers/types of ads per account this could definitely make it prohibitive for a wide spread assault on Facebook ad system.

Ask HN: What can I do as a software engineer to help the underpriviliged?
As a white, midwestern software engineer, it's easy to live my life day to day without ever leaving my little bubble. What are some ways that I can apply my skills to help the under-priviliged?
One thing I discovered recently is that genes form a 'gene regulatory network' that bears some analogy to neural networks. Genes are like neurons, each with inputs and outputs interconnected in a complex way between them, and the chemical messages they pass around are proteins. So there is a whole 'neural net' inside each cell - this information put cell complexity in perspective for me.

> Individuals like to optimize for their own personal productivity, and sometimes in order to increase the productivity of the team the individual productivity needs to suffer.

This makes a lot of things click into place for me. I've consistently seen it be a struggle for people to buy into the activities that may not immediately make things easier for the individual, but are necessary for the team, myself included. Stating it this way cuts right to the essence of why those activities are vital.
which distributed database was it? Just curious.
It seems like they took a page out of Nextdoor.com's playbook. That's another social network that verifies identity by postcard. I haven't really seen this technique used elsewhere at scale.
This is a good step, but more reforms are needed for political ads on Facebook.

One of the most glaring problems is dynamic ad pricing. Ads from different candidates can see wildly different prices based on how 'engaging' their ads are. In my mind this gives a clear advantage to incendiary, sensational, populist candidates. In some cases the difference in pricing between ads can be as much as 10X, based on how 'engaging' each ad is.

That's fundamentally unfair for someone running a clean, policy-driven campaign.

No. Trump is creating and repeating his own rhetoric. The mass media corporations aren't making him tweet constantly about the "Dems". Your statements about the media aren't wrong but that doesn't mean that Trump isn't also to blame. He's literally picking fights at every opportunity he gets.
Sure it is in the way Thiel did it. It was absurd for him to go on national television to make statements with 0 impact. Trump didn't win most places in the country Thiel might want to live. Trump lost on the entire west coast, Colorado and NY. He alienated himself and for what? He couldn't even help Trump win CA.
I'm sorry - this isn't a "heavy snowfall" in Moscow. It's just barely a dusting. That isn't even an inch of accumulation. Being able to self-drive when there is black pavement to be seen isn't impressive in the least.

hahaha. 'non-socialist perspectives'. So..you have the impression the norm here is 'socialist perspectives'. Maybe you're right. That's just amazing to me though. My impression is Rand-type/libertarian/free market perspectives are the norm. (Or even more, not caring about politics, just wanting to get rich, which maybe comes to the same thing. Rand is certainly by far the most frequently-mentioned writer on here with any political..dimension, I think) I've never read anything I considered more than very slightly to the left on here, let alone 'socialist', which just makes me laugh when people from the US (which I presume you are, sorry if wrong) use. In the US 'socialism' seems nowadays to usually be used to mean both 'I don't like it' and 'anywhere to the left of far-right'.

Well, I was just reading the wise words of chairman dang yesterday, that everyone on here feels they're in a minority in every way. It's always surprising to read comments such as yours are for me; they reveal similar feelings in everyone.

Maybe the downvoting wasn't, as you assumed, for the 'non-socialist perspective'-ness of what you said, but the way you said it, or something else? I've noticed people are often wrong, or seem to be, about what caused the downvoting, when they reveal what they assume the reason is. Well, maybe they're not 2 separate things - the veiled assumptions coming out in the prose, and the assumptions coming out in the voting complaints.

My general feeling when it comes to questions about harassment on Twitter is that people look at it too much as a policy issue ("you're not banning and deleting enough accounts according to my ideological stance"), which has its place, but there's a lot of product aspects that make it such a shouty place.

A good example is the way the 'quote tweet' feature is often used to start a pile-on. It's not a bad feature in itself, but there is a significant portion of usage that lends itself to starting food fights. Could things be improved by, for example, a setting that limits quote-tweets to people who follow you? There's a lot of dynamics like that which can be explored.

I still find it interesting how many people don’t realize that generosity could be a valuable part of your product. That growing the industry as a whole may be more important than getting back at people who weren’t going to buy your product anyhow.
Facebook leans left AF, as do most places in the Bay (whether people like it or not) apart from special cases like Palantir. From the bottom to the top of the chain of command they are as upset as anyone that they were used to nudge things to the right.

They want the news story to go away, but they also want to stuff it all down Putin's throat, and Trump's as well. Russian trolls did not make up even a small percentage of their ad profits last year, I wouldn't assume they're protecting them in the name of a very small amount of money.
Pick a project. Pick a functional language. Code the project. That's it. It's not that different that, given enough willingness, you wouldn't be able to learn it yourself if you are decent at procedural / OO. You don't need any advanced math whatsoever.
Its pretty easy to imagine scenarios where taking a dump on the road is the only option for a homeless person - all it takes is a bug from bad food (which they probably get plenty of) causing an ahem ..urgency.. , and no access to a bathroom either due to lines, fees, or shops not letting them in. Throwing someone in jail for stuff like that is harsh.
I don't have any particular model to recommend. What I have is a suggestion to not buy a powerful configuration but instead buy an average or even underpowered one.

Based on the recent Mueller indictments for among other things - identity theft, that is not a huge impediment for motivated users.
I think middle-of-the-road people can agree that both of the following are true.

1) Internet companies, specifically, and the internet in general have this anything-goes libertarian type attitude to their platforms and it's clearly caused tons of problems and going to cause tons more. How easy it is for children younger than 10 years old to stumble across hardcore, violent porn. How easy it is for anyone to say any genocidal, horrifically disturbing thing they want and have thousands of people reading it at the same time and connecting over their shared horribleness. These aren't good things. We had "Viewer Discretion is advised" and TV censorship for a reason. It was taboo to go out and shout racist nonsense at the top of your lungs for a reason. And the people who by and large run the Internet (Silicon Valley-ites) seemed to buy into the idea that restrictions are always bad and that freedoms are always good, in every scenario. That just isn't the case.

2) At the end of the day, propaganda works because people resonate with it. You can blame Facebook, blame the Internet, blame people's stupidity, blame the conservatives, whatever you want. But at the end of the day, people had more than their fair share of warning about what they would get, and still a ridiculous portion of the American population walked into a voting booth and picked a guy known to lie, cheat, and lie further his way into everything he's ever done. A man who has settled numerous lawsuits over racial discrimination, defrauding students, fraudulent advertising, etc. A man who didn't need to have his racist statements decoded because they were just openly
and unabashedly xenophobic. A man who never held any kind of elected office in his life (not even 3rd grade class president). At the end of the day propaganda doesn't work if it's selling something people don't want. ISIS propaganda is slick and abuses social media but it's not exactly something Americans are yelling at their families over and breaking up long friendships because of. People want to kick out hard workers who will do the same job as them for less (even here in Hacker News we see the same kinds of comments from software engineers fearing the H1B visa-holders will drive their wages down). They want handouts and for their lives to be easy without having to put in extra work. They want whiteness to be the default in America forever. People will have to deal with this fact. And no amount of analysis or correction in Silicon Valley will change that.

Biopsy is still considered the only reliable and complete method of diagnosis. I got one because I had severe esophagus problems also. I wasn’t leery of it at all - I was very excited to be getting diagnosed, since I had been so ill for such a long time.

For me, the attempts at self diagnosis were long ago, about 10 years back. I tried a wide variety of diets over the years and developed very wide culinary horizons - mainly organic whole foods, and I was a vegetarian for 7 years (I don’t think one would fare well on just rice and vegetables since that lacks much protein...).

My mother had long said the recommended test was to avoid wheat for 3 weeks, then eat some and see what happens. As noted I was not able to find that gluten was the culprit, though I identified various other intolerances. Part of my issue was that I have two separate issues, and esophagus disorders and also celiac, and was trying to find one cause or solution that fit both.
Those articles are not really convincing - two are regarding one book review, one criticizes the British reader for mispronouncing Spanish names (among other nit-picks). Those sources are very obviously biased (which is fine) and don't nearly constitute objective, or moderate, or broadly-accepted source of commentary.

If you were a regular reader of the Economist you would know how they actually look at anti-semitism (scornfully), labor-relations (respectful of labor, critical of populism and unchecked power), the welfare state (maybe conservative in the UK, downright progressive for the US - see anything they cover on healthcare).

Their ideology does permeate all of their work. The reason they are so well respected is that their ideology is well-reasoned, and their research and writing is very high quality.
That just effectively hands your vote to some other idiot.
Hey guys, thank you all for sharing great stories but I stopped when someone said it made me start dancing ;).
But that doesn't help if the server isn't multithreaded, no?

Also these days I switched to IPsec. I just get way better performance than with OpenVPN (I am talking about 600 Mbit/s vs 350Mbit/s). But it is quite a beast and you need to have some basic cryptographic knowledge for IPsec.

EDIT: Seems like my first question is only relevant if we are talking about powerful CPUs on both sides. If multicore on client <= single core on server, then this client makes sense.

Personally I've found the hardest thing tapping in iOS development there doesnt seem to be culture of writing out tutorials / problems people had and how they fixed them. Doing webdev you find countless similar issues people had and how they fixed them with simple google search. Lot of docs are in objective-c as well which kinda pushes you to study two languages instead of one.

> I don't think anyone can sanely deny a vast under representation of conservatives in Silicon Valley.

There is no such thing. If you want to join and meet up with other conservatives, you totally can. There are Republican party offices all over. Hell, in the middle of Silicon Valley there is the huge conservative Hoover Institution think tank.

But if you want to come to work and say a bunch of obviously unpopular things and expect that it's all just going to be cool, it's not. Work is work, everyone thinks before they say things. No workplace is different in this regard. Like the previous commenter said, work is not a debating society, it's really common for people to put up with their coworkers, grin and take it, etc. because that's how teamwork happens. It's not something only conservatives have to deal with.

I hear you, but it's more complicated than that. To judge by the reaction of HN users, not everyone expressing this point of view is doing so just as a political weapon. Some are struggling to articulate their experience with the intention of connecting with others. So it's both. From a moderation point of view, the goal is to encourage the one kind of discussion—sincerely articulating experience with the intention of connecting with others—while discouraging the other, i.e. repetition of weaponized rhetoric with the intention of defeating enemies.

My coworker has the same characteristics you describe. We work for a startup giving out loans to SMEs who otherwise won't get access to credit in poor parts of Latin America.

Send in my ballot by mail for all elections and sign it. Election fraud is a miniscule problem in the USA, there's probably a bigger problem with e-voting not counting the votes correctly with all the unauditable systems being used currently. The only people who claim the USA has a signficant voter fraud problem are trying to suppress turnout among minorities.

It's silly that they never used this language before that. Social Justice is a prime teaching from Christianity (in fact in all the Abrahamic religions). Seeing how religious the conservatives are, you'd think they'd have been the ones starting this trend.
That and the fact that it's the only language blessed to have it's interpreter in the browser.
