Floating point is commutative but it is not associative. Unfortunately, associativity is the more useful feature (you can do parallel reductions on noncommutative but associative operations, for example).
What I Believe Most
I think that has face validity. However I don't think that those who pay wages allocate a certain amount, pay benefits and then pay the rest as wages. More likely they pay a little as possible (both wages and benefits) to fill the jobs. (Econ 101...)

I think a more likely factor is that automation has reduced the number of jobs relative to the size of the labor pool. In that situation more workers chasing fewer jobs will tend to drive wages down. (Again, elementary economics.)

Another factor may be that large employers that dominate a labor market can exert downward pressure on wages that workers are not able to resist if there are not other jobs available. (Not IMO elementary economics.)

Agree on this, its really not the innovative tooling (although could be if you're ahead by many years or have already the best minds in your company with an on-the-way revolutionary product) but really the customers/distribution and existing relationships the acquirer is looking for.

Simply put, a technology advantage is still hard to really to quantify in business or acquisition strategy unless it already has a large amount of users or a huge advantage over building it yourself.
SF is a sausage fest without a doubt. Fortunately, there's a lot of sausage on sausage action (if that's your thing :-)

I lived in the bay area for ~4 years, lots of dudes, immigrants, and really wealthy people (in addition to a lot of the working poor). Interesting place just not my cup of tea.

Different case IMO. There you know both the object and the location to some margin of error. If there was a strange noise in the room, you might know the location to the same degree of precision (i.e. it's somewhere in the room), but until you determine the object making it, the source of the noise is still unknown.
I'm a jury consultant who regularly works on patent cases in both east Texas and Delaware. The judges in Delaware are definitely more friendly to defendants than in East Texas but that doesn't say much. From what I've observed, they're fine. They're actually not any worse on average than judges in notoriously defense friendly venues like Northern California San Jose division. On the jury side, I'd say Delaware is fine for either a plaintiff of defendant. They're pretty even-keeled juries. You might expect Delaware to have fewer defense jurors than some venues because of the area demographics, but most Delaware jurors who would prove to be really bad for a defendant will be dismissed during hardship qualification and never make it onto the jury.

There is definitely going to be a shift away from east Texas but it's not happening as quickly or precipitously as we (in the industry) thought it would be.
I don't doubt SF, etc., is worse. My experience suggests Austin is a step down from where I lived previously.

Perhaps you're more attractive or patient than I am. I also just realized that I forgot to mention that I'm a teetotaler, which seem to be a major turnoff to people here.

As a corpus to download for password research, this is indeed useful. But for providing a blacklist -- his stated purpose - it is not.

The crucial tell: his API does not allow the implementor to specify a frequency threshold (by top X in the list, or by Y number of unique uses of the password or higher).

By both API and explicit language in the announcement, he is promulgating the idea that checking the entire blacklist is useful, and "the larger the blacklist, the better." This is exactly what I'm arguing against.

"maximize happiness according to Marxist values. Allow workers to control and maximize the means of production"
This is a kind of tautology. Words and phrases exists not because of the whims of grammarians but because they are psychological realities for people. They are concepts represented in the mind and brain which exist whether or not people are explicitly aware of their existence--and this is demonstrated in a large psycho- and neurolinguistic literature. This is different from a man on the moon where we are talking about the anthropomorphism of bits of rock and dust--whether the ontology of such a thing is a human face or just bits of rock and dust.
How to Build a Human Brain
I've had no shortage of suiters. Granted I say that as a single dude, but I know a few who would date me. MANY more times that of Denver. Just because I know more people because everyone is so friendly. I mean there is a whole university to offset from the software engineers.
It's one of the reasons. Did I say it's the absolute singular reason behind all this?

Streaming services cost you money, and if you study microneconomics, humans are rational animals that always tend to move towards maximizing their gains, which is calculated by subtracting cost from benefit. And there are many factors involved here.

The ISP suing people problem causes people to decide between mental cost and financial cost.

If you know what you're doing and have an efficient workflow that doesn't cause you to have a lot of mental cost, then you may use torrents, but otherwise for most people the mental cost overweighs the financial cost, and that's why many people switched over.
As a sysadmin who is pretty critical of password managers, I can vouch for keepassxc as well. I started out with keepass, then keepassx, and ended up on keepassxc. I refuse to use an online pw manager.
There is no way I would have been as close to those people if not for this paid social time.

One of the worst aspects IMHO of the US working culture is the blurring of the working/personal divide. Because the consequence is the semi-permanent working state of mind.

Don't get me wrong, I like to get along with my colleagues. But they're that, colleagues, not friends. These events only perpetuate the working vibe and merge it with the after-working-hours.

That's just a plumbing problem which can be solved by lowering temperature or using a different material with lower resistivity. Yes, it'll probably cost more, but it's a problem that can readily be solved.

But if your switching frequency is slow, it doesn't matter if you use a superconductor for wires. It is the switching frequency that truly determines the limits for gate times, which in turn determines how fast your CPU is.

For the record, SiGe is also very promising in terms of switching speeds. There were experiments which shows near THz frequencies.

Great insights on the multi-faceted responsibilities of a Sr. Engineers especially at early stage startups.

So my query was whether tool(s) can help permeate some of this culture in a large company and thus reduce or eliminate the manager who would otherwise have been unproductive not only from the perspective of marketing or for the company, but potentially also have demotivated the Sr.Engineers or just in case he/she was not a good manager ?
Sometimes people or institutions signal virtue because it's cheaper than being virtuous (actually benefiting someone), true. But often virtue signalling is cultural, a first-mover's dilemma (subspecies of prisoner's dilemma) and horribly expensive.

> The US middle class has contracted because more people have moved up and out of the middle class and into the upper classes, than have moved down and out (that's true over 10, 20, 30 years of time)

I think this is a super interesting phenomenon, and I honestly don't understand how the migration from middle to upper class works in practice, particularly in the face of technological un(der)employment. (And nobody has been able to explain it to me.)

However, the exact same is happening in the EU as well (graph: http://slatestarcodex.com/blog_images/techun_polarization.pn...) so it's not like it's some libertarian US-only miracle (or that labour-friendly rules would prevent it from happening for that matter).
Your teeth absolutely can repair themselves, and are in fact constantly doing so using much the same resorption-remineralization processes that your bones use.

Many things can tip the scales in favor of the remineralzation side. Diet, cleaning, and increasing saliva circulation appear to be the main ones.

Been using (and paying for) Dashlane for a couple years now. I love it. The things I like the most:

In this particular case, the privilege of getting people who are angry at your conduct slimed with the argument-ending slur "anti-intellectual" is all the privilege I need for my case to hold. I would love to be able to leap to the defense of the intellectuals against the "anti-intellectuals", but part of the responsibility that comes with that privilege includes partaking of and propagating a certain culture of intellectual openness and freedom, which the academy has abrogated in toto. The only people left who think that the academy is free and open are the people who happen to espouse the exact philosophy and political beliefs that have closed the academy down; literally nobody else is fooled anymore.

If you believe otherwise, you can prove me wrong by scheduling a talk about a politically-sensitive topic that deviates from the dominant leftist beliefs in some way at a major university, and show me that you were accepted and treated respectfully. It will not even remotely do to convince me I'm wrong to just spray some words at me in a text box; at this point the evidence that the academy has become intellectually closed is so overwhelming that only the willful blindness granted to those on "your side" can fail to see it.

I'm not a cellular biologist or a doctor of any kind, but I consider myself a reasonably smart person. Reading the book Tripping Over the Truth by Travis Christofferson and tracking the work of Thomas Seyfried and others, it makes me think that a lot of the discussion in the battle for curing cancer is chasing a false paradigm: that cancer is a disease of genetics and if we could understand and edit the genome, we could cure the disease. The case for the Metabolic theory of cancer as laid out by Seyfried is quite compelling and if true, the implications for treatment from a patient standpoint seem to me much more preferential than the current combination chemotherapies which are only getting more and more expensive and only marginally more efficacious. Work on this front is only in its infancy, but my hope is that more people become aware, more funding directed towards metabolic therapy trials, and one day it could at least be incorporated into the standard of care.

It’s just one side of the story, but after Moxies comments regarding LibreSignal, third-party clients, etc, it’s hard not to believe it.
Indeed, there needs to be folks (director and Sr.Mgrs) who look at big picture but my focus is more on the low/middle managers or even PMs. Regarding low level tasks the Sr. engineers can self create these tasks i believe for the goals they need to be targeting.

And yes, you are right in that the big companies are operating in the old fashion way and i was thinking of a implementing a tool that would disrupt that in some ways..:)

If it's illegal and in a surveillance state, they can selectively prosecute or just coerce people any time they want. I tried to dig into the export regulations one night at this link:

https://www.schneier.com/blog/archives/2014/11/the_return_of...

My research suggested they did not change the status of encryption products in general: it was a narrow set of them like mass-market, downloadable stuff that got that designation. They kept high-assurance security, tools for building secure systems, customized secure software, and so on classified as munitions needing a license.

What I can't tell you is anything about that process since I never asked for an export license for any software. Maybe it's easy as some people told me with no restrictions. They weren't doing high-security stuff that irritates surveillance states, though. There could be pressure on big companies or providers of strong stuff. There could be nothing for now but something down the road. It's kind of a black box for me from this vantage point except the parts where it straight-up says specific things have old classification.

I'm really curious what experiences any of you have had that made strong security products on hardened OS's you requested permission to export.

Well, there is a big difference between "Austinites" and people that moved to Austin from somewhere else and now make up 4/5ths of the population. I made up that number, but it's not a bad guess. Austin is an east coast city in Texas. Everybody there is from LA or the east coast and brought their road rage and terrible attitudes to Austin. It seems all the actual Austinites are leaving the city for nearby small towns like Dripping Springs, Elgin, Fredricksburg, San Marcos, New Braunsfels, etc. People actually from Austin seem to be way cooler than the people that moved to Austin from somewhere else. No offense to the transplants -- I used to be one and certainly Austinites are way cooler than I am. But I'm guessing they've also looked around and come to the same conclusion like the person here. Austin was probably as cool as they say in the 80s and 90s. Not so much these days.
Nah, it's totally novel -- it's a viable packaging system that isn't NP-hard. Is there any precedent for that?

Ask HN: Are there any useful GDPR references?
I’m in the early stages of building a SaaS in the UK but finding it quite tricky to find any useful actionable information on dealing with the GDPR. The official stuff is a bit vague & at least to me, difficult to translate to my use case - and any search is plagued with consultancy-spam or blog spam rehashes of what must have been a single useless source from antiquity. Closest I could find to what I’m looking for is https://www.hallaminternet.com/how-to-make-your-website-gdpr-compliant/

Has anyone found any other good guides? Ideally as they’d relate to SaaS but anything similar that could translate is good too.

I don't know if I view managers as having to do with marketing, we would try out project managers. This was after my time at the company, but they're sort of like manager's, except performing more of an organizational task, rather than potentially hiring/firing. They'd play more of a mediator between engineers and other teammates in the group dynamics.

Tools: at Boostable we had Aha (https://www.aha.io/). And we would have the founder Alex split the tickets up. Aha would disseminate the tickets into Pivotal Tracker (https://www.pivotaltracker.com/).

Aha played a really big role in top-down delegation of tasks and equating them to business objectives. That software is pretty cool and I recommend checking it out, because I think in some cases it can make manager's redundant.

After that, it was autonomous. I created a lot of issues by myself directly in Pivotal (which probably lends to them not being recognized officially, since Aha was where the business impact was overviewed)

Show HN: Smarter Interviews (Collaborative Editing with Replays)
I love Visual Studio Code and I use it everyday. Visual Studio Code uses Monaco as it’s code editor.

Monaco is a really impressive code editor with some amazing features. One of the best features is really how fast it feels. As i started to experiment with the editor more, I realized how amazing it would be if someone used Monaco as the base of a new collaborative editor. Maybe, I should do it.

Thinking about this problem a bit more, if I was going to build a collaborative editor it would need to have the following feature-set:

Reliable editing.
No centralized datastore for the documents created.
The documents should belong to the user who created them.

Easy access controls. (I don’t want to share my document with the whole world, but only a few users).

Presence support (Knowing who else is looking at the document in real time).

Instant Replay (Being able to replay the entire session as it happened would be a differentiating feature).

Remember, brushing does the most good when you do it before you eat. The bacteria in your mouth take mere seconds to start acidifying the surfaces of your teeth, and research has shown that most of the damage to enamel is done within about half an hour after eating.

Brushing soon after you eat, while the surface pH is still low, can actually damage your teeth beyond the damage done by the acid alone.
