I'm not being snarky, but the converse is that I tend to see a lot of women over-relying on their girlfriends and groups of acquaintances for emotional support and their social life. The concern is this has a big impact on some couples relationships for the worse.
The web is open and free because ads made it possible when the internet was first evolving. You only understand the internet as “free” because someone else was footing the bill to begin with. Ads can no longer support an open web as you once knew it. So, the web closes down (publishers gating their content - subscriptions) one by one and what do you end up with? A closed web. Plain and simple. Those who feel the web is “free” are under an illusion becaue they know and knew of nothing different. These people are ignorant and the ignorance is what is actually causing the web to close down faster. The more ignorance the faster it closes. I’m not saying ads and mining are great ways to pay the toll but it’s the only options since I don’t see any user here writing checks to websites out of good will. Salon at least is trying to keep the web “open” by giving options - and by the way, when did an option, in your control, ever offend you. Offended? Fine you don’t have to opt in. That’s like saying your pissed of because the restaurant accepts discover card when you only chose to carry Amex or cash.

There are a lot of people here who just don’t know what they are talking about and unfortunately they’ll never know who they are because they are always right. That’s fine because that’s the way the world works unfortunately and it’s human nature but a little honest research would do the greater community as a whole a great deal of good.
My comment was not ironic. If anything a bit hyperbolic. Regardless, I'm on your wavelength with this. Peace
Sure, but I don't think it's fair to compare DDG to other search engines that crawl and index the entire web themselves. It's a different user experience for sure but the indexing is (for the most part) the same as Bing.
And that great race-to-the-bottom we call the web gently accelerates. Its trajectory, unchanged.
Yeah, but a very high portion of the people who actually make web sites.
It definitely looks a bit prime.

If it divides into a product, it divides into one of the factors.

The character of an integral domain can be zero.

If zero isn't prime, then it has no factorisation.
And they wonder why we call it fake news. I realize it's not a news story but wow, they must really think their readership is stupid.
Ask HN: [meta] Is it okay to post sci-hub links?
There is a particular article that I found on sci-hub more recently, I was wondering if it would be okay to post here? If not that'd be entirely fine.
Again what is suppose to "be done"? Government intervention? Affirmative Action for the oppressed male? Whatever happened to the Reaganesque "pulling yourself up by your bootstraps" and "rugged individuslism"? Conservatives have been telling minority and women that for years.
They probably want us to get into the stock market casino. Just lost half of your money? Remember you are in it long term. It'll go back up and you just need to diversify more (give the broker more money) so you won't lose as much during the next down-turn.

I'm sorry if this sounds cynical, but that's my honest assessment of the stock market. Some very wealthy salesman is always trying to get me to put more money into it and continually tells me to just be patient. It feels like a big scam.

The time is right for applying data engineering to drug discovery. Probably the best time ever to work in this field, and markets like this don't last long.

Why not start pursuing this right now and earn a smaller paycheck (presumably compared to what you do now given your net worth :) rather than wait until you hit your net worth threshold?
In my company, we are currently working on several projects backed by MongoDB. All of them do it successfully. Everybody I work with is really happy with MongoDB. I only know one user that thinks MongoDB has not a really good performance, why? He compares it with ElasticSearch in a strict search use case. As you can see, he is not making a good comparison. So, it's better to learn and test before saying uncertain phrases.
> How do I start a terminal-based REPL/shell that is sharing the same kernel as the notebook? (Relevant to text editors, because this might be for example an ipython shell running inside emacs, allowing me to easily evaluate fragments of code in the text editor.)

FYI, if you want to do both things inside of JupyterLab, you can easily start a console in JupyterLab connected to the same kernel as the notebook in three different ways: right-click in the notebook and select "New console for notebook". Or from the notebook, select the main menu File>"New Console For Notebook". Or simply start a console from the File>New menu and choose the notebook's kernel from the dropdown.

For example, in terms of latency because of the network round-trips to establish the connection (or even just to send an additional HTTP request inside the existing session and wait for a reply!).
Great comment, I think that needed saying.

I don't doubt the gender asymmetry that you imply; do you care to speculate about why it exists among middle-aged people?
I didn't buy my place for the investment although I'm confident it's going to work out just fine from a financial stand point. I did it for the personal utility that comes with improved quality of life and satisfaction from having a place that I can customize and not have a landlord that I have to stress about kicking me out and / or raising rent. The after-tax all-in cost is about the same as what it would cost to rent out the place that I bought so I don't see how it is such a "lousy investment".
I couldn't imagine my vehicle doing anything I didn't tell it to do, or at least do anything I didn't optionally allow it to do for me.

Maintain a certain distance from another car when I set the cruise control? Sure, that's not a bad feature.

Play a nasty little ad on a touchscreen "infotainment system" that is downright distracting to use as it is, especially when driving? That sounds like disaster waiting to happen.
Ask HN: How many hours per week are expected in the US?
In the region where I work, the expectation is that you work 35 - 40 hours per week, with exceptional events (very important deadlines, off-hour updates, etc) demanding exceptional hours. Hours are 9-5ish, with an hour off for lunch.

I have begun interviewing for jobs in the States and I _think_ I am detecting an unstated expectation that programmers should be working / at work much more than that. My sample size is small and it could be all in my mind.

I realize this is a general question, but what is the expectation on hours of work per week for a programmer in the US?
I would take it back to the dealer. If they can't remedy it demand a full refund. If they do not give a full refund sue them, but please get a good lawyer. We want good court precedents. Heck you might be able to get the EFF to represent you or something similar.
Do you have a reference for that? I'm interested in learning more. The linked article says:

It is generally recommended to consume more water during periods when protein intake is being increased. Whether or not this has biological basis is not known, but it may be prudent to do.

I'm not sure why that recommendation exists if it's unknown if or why it actually makes a difference.
Posted because it's an example of how complicated governments like to make a tax system to incentivize something (in this case home buying). Instead, why not just eliminate stamp duty & build more houses.
In the past month three men, (one 45ish, another 55ish, another 74) two of whom I was barely acquainted with, have poured their souls out to me over their relationship and business troubles. I'd argue that it isn't hard to make friends, it's just hard to meet people in the first place. Men in particular get into a habit of focusing on business and family. More than once I've heard older men voice a complaint if their wives weren't the ones to build social relationships, as they expected them to fulfill that role. Below 30, people have more opportunities -- school, sports, activities -- through which they simple meet more people. Above 30, the number of opportunities to meet other people declines unless one makes a concerted effort to seek out their tribe.
Neon Ball Ultimatum
I think headlines like this are very dangerous. You are either a socially outgoing person or you're not.

For people who aren't, this confirms their lack of social life as 'a problem'. This isn't helpful to them on so many levels.

You make friends and grow your social circle by having a common interest with people. This could be knitting, cars, pacman...it doesn't matter, it's just a common bond and a language you speak. Meeting in real life is essential though. Online acquaintances aren't 'friends'....
Why Nature Prefers Hexagons (2016)
I’ve had the most success with active groups that are organized around sports, hobbies, or volunteering. It’s much easier than looking for a bestie who has everything in common with you, or a group that just hangs about chatting. Having a topic that everyone in the group is focused on is easier for introverted me.
Similar reality (most of my friends since 30, I'm 35 now), very different origins.

I changed a lot as a person after 30 - I moved to the bay area for one thing. I also transitioned... which let me meet other women in more feminine contexts (IE, fans of a clothing brand).

I also met a lot of people who became friends through dating.

Almost all of my friends that I see regularly I met in the last 5 years or so.
Stride looks first-rate. Hopefully opening up APIs will bring integration on-par with Slack. What's the plan for bringing Stride to self-hosted options?
Scientists deliver high-resolution glimpse of enzyme structure
When you were younger you probably made friends because you were all in school/college/university together. Some people make friends at work for the same reason (I've never really understood this though. After seeing them for 8 hours or so the last thing I want to do is spend time with them outside of work.) Where else can you go where people are gathered where friendships are likely to be created? Church/mosque/synagoge/temple/etc. was the typical answer for thousands of years. Maybe a service club like Kiwanis, Lions, Rotary? Though I typically think of those belonging to those kinds of clubs as being old men. Maybe there is somewhere else you could volunteer where you might meet like-minded people?
I was just saying I have used DC in addition to Cloud. We migrated to cloud from DC about a year ago, and was forced to switch last week.
I know a bunch of people who don't make many new friends and this has many reasons.

People get families. They have time for other people after the kids are done. Depending on the time they got the kids this can take till they are mid 40.

People met a whole bunch of people till they got 30 and decided that they only need the 2-5 best who are left in the end.

People have a career that eats most of their time and they want to invest the rest of this time into their relationship and not general friendships.

In general I have the feeling many people are more focused after 30. Mostly on romantic relationships.

Most new people I added to my "friends" in the last 3 years were love interests. Since I'm polyamorous, this isn't much of an issue for me, but I can imagine this to be an issue for monogamous people. They get a partner and that's it. The people they meet after 30 who are willing to share much of their time are singles searching for a partner, so if you already got one, you're not of interest.

Another +1. You just can't beat that collected wisdom. I've complained about something that seemed so menial, only for my friend to make a really insightful quip about a pattern he's seen in my work life that, although didn't map 100%, reflected more deeply paid attention than almost all of my friends in my 20-something age group.
Are those common?
Why would you even need an order identifier? All you need to do is check the request logs for your server everything should be already in order.
Because LISAs encourage saving rather than just acquiring debt to buy property.

Also, LISAs are aimed at first time buyers... and most first time buyers don't pay stamp duty (there's a £300,000 threshold)
Can you use mechanical drives for long-term storage? I would expect that any long-term storage would involve a strategy including backups and redundant devices.

He already had achieved that when he did the 'Color' thing. I think plenty of these serial entrepreneurs raise money for the PR and validation reasons, not because they actually needed the money to begin with.
Apples and oranges comparison because you still need a place to live.

The true investment value of a home is the residual you receive every month after the home is paid off in the form of no rent. Sure you still need to pay for property tax and up keep but the difference between that and the rent you'd need to pay to live in a similar dwelling is the residual you collect.

A better comparison would be how you choose to invest the disposable income you have available after your housing needs are met.
A better question: how does the spec guarantee that the content isn't fraudulent?

It doesn't seem like there's a way to guarantee that the content was signed by the site on the package. If a hosting site can serve up the content, can't they also serve up the signing, unbeknownst to the end user?
Use options and you can get very leveraged.
If you’re talking about the US, you’re wrong in that there are capital gains taxes at 20% long term, and up to 38% short term on the sale of stock. For a real estate investment that you live in, couples do not have to pay capital gains tax on up to $500k worth of gains.

Just to play devil’s advocate - when you buy a stock, you are buying nothing more than a piece of paper, and you don’t even get a piece of paper nowadays. It’s really easy to manipulate the price of a piece of paper.
in most states, mortgages are no recourse. If I borrow a million bucks and default on it, I lose the house and take a credit hit, even if I have millions in the bank. If I borrow a million dollars (margin) to invest in equities and I need to cover the loan, they can sue me/force me into bankruptcy.
Exactly, BT audio uses lossy compression. There are several codecs available but I'm on Linux and the receiver is pretty old so it's probably the weakest of them: SBC.

The filtered sound is pretty bad, yes, dread inducing.
Is it a worse scam than savings accounts where you lose money to inflation? You don't have to invest 100% in stocks. If you want to see less volatility you could hold mostly bonds, less risk but less reward.

You don't even have to pay that much in commissions if you don't want to. Use index funds to build a simple 3 or 4-fund portofolio. Contribute once per year, so even if you pay $10 per trade you're paying $40/years in fees, plus ~0.1% of assets in fund expenses.
Didn't flesh this out in time for edit.

- Don't position yourself how you normally would if you were going for a new job and trying to maximise your income. No "senior developer with experience in python, node, etc"

- Do position yourself as just a general "software developer". I said contractor before but I wouldn't (didn't) even make it look like that. More like a small agency. If they're completely outside of the tech industry (what you want) then they're going to be wanting someone to just give money to in exchange for solving their problem, not someone they're going to have to manage. Instead of hiring Dave by the hour, they're hiring "[town name] Premier Development" on a fixed project basis.

- Be selective with who you take on. Again, you should be positioning yourself pretty cheap to the point where if this wasn't basically an exploratory exercise for you then their project wouldn't be worth your time, so you don't want to get stuck doing work that isn't a potential SAAS for you down the line.

- You want them coming to you trying to get something done for $15k that would normally cost $100k+ to build. Then you say "hey, if you're willing to be my test dummy/case study/first customer, I'll build it and give you a licence for $10k"

One man’s trash is another mans treasure. In this case it’s not even trash (power). If it has value to someone else why dismiss it as a barter tool for you?
I've just recently moved countries, and I've found that it's really difficult to actually meet people and make new friends, regardless of age. All my friends are also expats/immigrants.

I don't like spending too much time around tech people, since I do that for 8 hours a day, so tech meetups are out of the question. I went to the hiking club, but the average age is like 50. Nightclubs just aren't the place to find friends.

Generally, after school or university, people's circle of friends is fairly set.

The problem is that after university, we have a lot less free time, and there's a lot less opportunity to meet people from different backgrounds and walks of life. Clubs are meetups are great for meeting people with similar interests, but not so great for broadening your horizons. A lot of the things I'm interested in now I never would've done if it wasn't for meeting random people at university.
You just made me take a long look at my current trajectory. Very thought provoking. Indeed, I can see a distinct split in the people in my life who are in group A (closed off, social life is family dependent) and those in group B.
“Does BT audio do some kind of lossy compression?”

Yes. Bluetooth audio is never lossless. Proprietary Bluetooth codecs like Sony LPAC or Qualcomm AptX come close to being lossless, but they’re still lossy.
I have a 3% mortgage for 30 years (though I am paying toward the principle so I should pay it off in 20 years). My mortgage + insurance/taxes for a 4 bedroom house on a quarter acre is far less (about $500-1000 less a month) than what people in my area are paying for tiny 1-2 bedroom apartments.

Plus if I were to sell my house right now I could sell it for more than double what I bought it for. The market might tank, but I'm planning on living here for another 20 years at least so it could go through the boom-bust cycle a few times before I get around to selling.
For me, and especially because I work remotely, it's because there's no central gathering place. Schools and colleges make it easy to find friends. Work a little less so, but I still managed to have a lot of friends there as well.
You'll find, when you get to 40, that you were confusing 30 with 40 in this post.
I live in a house by a road. A particularly busy road. Every time I go outside, whenever I sit inside, any time I'm digging the garden, all I can hear is traffic.

Those few occasions that I'm outside and hear nothing, not even distant traffic only birds, are almost a religious experience for me. It's just so calming, and almost everything in my life seems better for just that short time.

Then the cars come by.
Could you elaborate on this, I'm interested? It is Google's AMP spec or their own version?
The audio on the video was probably added in post...
Like, sure, but it's beside the point when one considers that you have to live somewhere.
I agree its a great calculator. The funny thing is that I used it and it convinced me its far better to rent in my market.

That’s all true.
Can there be a cultural bias to this?

Coming from a mediterranean country, many of the points that other comments raise as problems for meeting people past 30 are not so pronounce.

Is not that it isn't harder to meet people and make strong bonds, but its common for men in their 40s and 50s to play Football, hang out with their colleagues for a drink after work, meeting friends of friends, etc.

Generally speaking I feel like social ties are much stronger there, so it may be worth to take a look at how people behave in other places when addressing these topics.
But last I checked people do value it. So what are you talking about?
I am on HN and use cash where possible simply because a set amount of cash in my pocket each pay period is a budgeting system that works for me.

My tin foil millinery habit is entirely unrelated.
I was thinking about this the other day. I'd like to provide my family with all they need to be happy (but not necessarily all they want), to live somewhere near nature and have a small farm / garden, and spend my time learning about science, software and medicine and applying that knowledge to solve problems

Then I realized I'm doing a lot of that now, but without much financial security and with a lot of stress. I live in a small apartment but my gf and I have a nice outdoor garden in our complex, I volunteer at a ranch working with kids with disabilities on weekends, and all of my work is at startups trying to use science and software to solve medical problems. I make a small fraction of what I did working in finance, at the moment not enough to save much even with low expenses, and the stress of trying to make super early startups work is real, but I really enjoy my work and have almost complete control over where and how I work. My biggest worry is not making enough to provide for the family at this point. I have a few years to see if I can make it work until this issue trumps all others and I'm forced to get a "real" job, make enough money, and then retire to do what I'm doing now :)
Unfortunately Google retired the Google Drive API, so you can't create new application the use RT. So while it works, there is no point in releasing it.

This is a common idea among computer scientists looking at biology. They see "sequence of base pairs" and immediately think of a Turing machine's tape or a memory segment in a computer. It leads them astray. There's no reason to think that evolution has or would construct anything resembling a language or a language paradigm. Evolution doesn't introduce abstractions.

Now, programmers, by our neurophysiology and training recognize things that look like abstractions in what evolution produces, and near-abstractions are useful to reduce our cognitive load when we're studying biology, but a biologist always keeps in mind a list of exceptions to those abstractions in mind. If you don't know of exceptions, it is almost always a fruitful research question to find them.
