I'll take one iPhone X in an iPhone SE-sized body please. Preferably with the headphone jack.

The biggest turnoffs of the new iPhones are the increased sizes. I know people like the bigger phones, but I can't be the only one who prefers the smaller size. In my case, it's because I run/cycle with my phone (I'm not getting the Apple Watch so don't even suggest it) and the bulk of the 6/7/8/X series is way too much for me.
The Visual Micros plugin for Atmel Studio 7 isn't too bad and there's a free version available.

Studio 7 is based on Visual Studio, so if you're a Microsoft dev, it's a familiar look & feel.
Interesting stuff. Around how old are you and around how much do you make? (get as general as you want)
I was reading about jeans recently, it seems there are two grades of material used in most jeans so as long as you avoid the bottom end of the market you are OK, everything else is just branding.
My M3’s First Issue and E36 Part Out Begins…
It looks like you agree...
Except clearly that doesn’t work, and clearly some people who take out loans like this aren’t doing it in bad faith. The idea that the threat of punishment is effective at stopping “bad” behavior has, I believe, been thoroughly debunked by psychology. It’s not as simple as “someone borrowed $10 and didn’t pay you back”, typically. Even personal bankruptcy is available to people who borrowed in good faith and couldn’t make the ends meet. But when there is an entire system that is designed and exploited to make it hard or impossible to pay people back (e.g. payday loans or usurious rental contracts), no amount of punishment will get the desired behavior you want because the system itself is broken.
There is always a case for making the company responsible for the things it does. It is liable for the health hazards of their policies?

I only spent $75k in my life on ads but I had a x2 average ROI on it. The first thing is: you need at min. 30 different ad variations. Copy, animation, video, value proposition, pricing, landing page. Same with audiences. That's just the minimum. Therefore, standardized ones are obviously a no-no. With 1 variation, you've just - as you rightly wrote - burned the money.
It's likely that if they're being denied paid breaks, taking an unpaid break would result in being fired.
An important and interesting topic that could definitely use solid (professional) journalistic treatment.

Some suggestions, in that vein:

(1) The tech sector is quite different from other white collar sectors -- and I gather you'll find their usage profiles to be quite different, also. So really, drug use in the tech sector deserves to be a story (or a series) all its own.

(2) Within tech, there's always been a huge divide between the engineering and business sides (they're almost from different planets, in some respects). So basically we're talking about completely separate analyses for these groups.

(3) You may want to completely exclude the Wall Street crowd from your surveys as well -- or at least be careful to note it as a distinct subclass. They're also something of a culture apart from the rest of tech, so if you put to much focus on them, your research will definitely be skewed.

(4) My own observation from the engineering crowd (over many years and having lived in various geographic areas) suggests that the use of normalized (or "mostly normalized") substances (alcohol, marijuana, caffeine, "smart drinks" / herbal stimulants, psychedelics (and ecstasy) and very rarely, low-grade amphetamines) is probably about what you'll find in any high-skill, sometimes stressful line of work. Perhaps alcohol and caffeine are used a bit more, and marijuana a bit less (except in places where it's been legalized or effectively legalized).

(4b) Added qualification that psychedelic use seems quite rare outside the Bay Area, but I could be wrong.

(5) Use of harder substances (cocaine, methamphetamine, heroin) on the other hand appears to be exceedingly rare among engineering types -- for the simple reason that they're effects are fundamentally incompatible with the "head space" geeks need to be in 24x7 to be even remotely capable of doing the work they do. I'm not saying there are no heavy users or tales of abuse among engineers - of course they are. But if anything the general rate of incidence is probably distinctly less than that of other white-collar professions.

(6) Finally, by far the most serious substance problem in the industry is alcohol. This has definitely changed over the years, and a serious examination of the reasons behind this shift would also be quite welcome.

Well, on the one hand, I doubt they were using the threat of violence to get them to work. On the other hand, they were probably watching out for theft, and I have little doubt that they would have administered a beating if they caught someone pocketing coal.
So this already happemed? What were the results?

Market cap is not everything and saying 'politically connected' is a massive understatement - they are politics. Goldman is the more powerful institution - Google wishes they could have entire administrative cabinets flooded with ex-execs.
On a related note, is cryptocurrency HFT a thing?

As much as I delight in seeing a traditional firms add legitimacy to cryptocurrency, I can't help but be slightly suspicious when a known HFT player buys an exchange in a market that's largely unregulated.

Granted, to the best of my knowledge true HFT isn't really possible in the FX market, and major players there still find a way to make everything a veritable cesspool.
Our careers page is https://www.sevenfifty.com/careers/full_stack, but we really only use it as a link our team members can send personal referrals. Our main pipelines are Hired, Vettery, HN who's hiring post, recruiters, and referrals. Posting on job boards has historically never led to anyone stellar and a disproportionate number of candidates who couldn't pass fizzbuzz.

Recruiters have been a mixed bag. They're very time consuming, but tend to have better access to people who are currently employed and passively looking, which is where most of the best mid-senior people are.

I've done some speaking at meetups and we made a junior hire off of one. I've found the more niche meetups to be more likely to have stronger people, the more general web / rails / ruby ones are dominated by recent boot camp grads looking for their first gig (nothing against those people, we hire them, but we also desire more senior people too).

HN's who's hiring has been great for finding sharp junior people with high potential.
As someone who has both microdosed LSD and taken smal amts (<5 mg) of d-methamphetamine, LSD can certainly increase productivity. It’s a similar energy boost as any of the ‘phetamines, but without the classic linearity.

Note: to have an effective microdose you have to take a small amount. <=5ug. I tried 25ug and it was basically a super light trip (distinctive lsd body high and everything).

Anyway, for 98% of people microdosing won’t help productivity in the long run.

Edit: just to preempt the obvious questions, I’m talking about oral methamphetamine, I’ve never smoked it. Orally, d-meth is just objectively better than amphetamine (okay, that’s subjective, but the peripheral stimulation of, say, l-amphetamine is a huge negative)
It does. The article says: "Garnier’s study helps to explain not only how unorganized ants build bridges, but also how they pull off the even more complex task of determining which bridges are worth building at all."

The final quote is from another researcher in a reaction quote about army ants. It's not clear what the context this other researcher has in mind. Of course 'they aren't as simple as we might think' is a pretty safe guess.

Here's the meat:

"To see how this unfolds, take the perspective of an ant on the march. When it comes to a gap in its path, it slows down. The rest of the colony, still barreling along at 12 centimeters per second, comes trampling over its back. At this point, two simple rules kick in.

The first tells the ant that when it feels other ants walking on its back, it should freeze. “As long as someone walks over you, you stay put,” Garnier said." [the 2nd rule is less explicitly stated, so you need to read the article to get a sense of it]
The current state of entry-level Data Science positions
What you said left an impression memory mapped I/O is somehow unusual or special, while it's actually a fairly common type of I/O.

So while I did know what you meant, I found your comment misleading to someone who isn't familiar with the subject.

Too many programmers misunderstand and are scared of memory mapping as it is.
One of the Apple news sites used to do this. Every once in a while (quarter, maybe?) it would publish a list of predictions from a handful of analysts and compare their predictions to reality.

I haven't seen it in a while, so I suspect it was MacNN (RIP).
My team has been using https://jupyter.org/ for this purpose.
Most intelligent design proponents merely think undirected evolution cannot work, due to a variety of mathematical and scientific reasons. This does mean things like common descent, natural selection and heredity are false.
We're working on simplifying the common case usage for props, but they are complicated right now because we're going for giving you the full flexibility of React. What that means for us is that props have 2 parts: their definition and their usage. Go into the CODE tab of the sidebar and you'll see the prop definitions on top and the usages below. When you create a new binding by clicking "make dynamic", we automatically create both a definition and a usage for you. We don't do a great job of keeping the names in sync because we expect you'll rename the prop (and update the usage).

>I need a few hundreds Go, and am happy to pay 2-3$ a month for those.

The cost for dropbox to host your 10MiB vs 1TiB is likely the same. Those numbers are so small, the fixed costs of the infrastructure (engineers, hard drives, networks) is way higher than the difference in storage space.
Market cap is kinda a misnomer - a snapshot in time that doesn't mean much. How about use something like total volume of capital that's flowed through the company/or facilitated by the company? For Goldman Sachs that would be trillions or on the order of the GNP of the largest countries.
I had a fallen arch on one of my feet for as long as I can remember, and doing mindful stretching daily is helping me fix mine. It's a really painful process, if this is anything like yours. Muscles were far too weak in the areas required to use my feet properly, all over my legs.

I'm not a healthcare professional but I would start with stretching your hamstrings like the article says and stretching your feet, getting to know the muscles that you have down there and how they work when you move your feet. You can follow a course or a guide, it may help, but know that every situation is different and you need to listen to your own body, experiment with some motions that you've never tried. Guidance might be good at first, but just don't stop listening to your body and try to avoid making it do something it doesn't want to do, but be aware of it. Unconscious avoiding of stiff or painful muscles gets you in this mess, so if you catch yourself mindlessly going through the motions (it does happen, often), take a moment to assess what kind of trouble you're in at the moment, muscle-wise.

Strengthening all of your leg muscles will help awaken the nerves in your legs. I can't remember the name, but it's a huge one that runs from your hip all the way to your toes that is the culprit of flat feet. Help your legs do work the right way, and then you'll start to see that you don't have to put much conscious pressure on the front of your feet at all to stay in balance.
I'd add something like Monero, or other coin designed with privacy/fungibility in mind, as a long term survivor. Bitcoin's development bureaucracy is too slow and cumbersome and who knows how much the community is willing to embrace absolute privacy, yet that is exactly what plenty folks in the crypto scene prefer.
There are infinite subcultures in NYC. I'm as misanthropic as the next guy so I identify with what you said a little, but honestly no matter what you're into you can find your people here. Probably more than anywhere else in the world, actually.
Yeah, the linked article feels like someone at cnbc is paid to come up with anything that will get clicks (I wrote that sentence kind of jokingly, but thinking about it now, of course they have exactly that) and it worked great this time. Well played cnbc. You win this round.

Now hopefully there's a Rust vs Go blog posted or something gets merged into systemd today so we can get back to business as usual here ;)

There's no python vs python3 decision to make. There's no (sane) reason to pick Python 2 in 2018 for new projects.

Conda installer comes with Python prepackaged. So it's really a single exe and one CMD to get a Tensorflow env setup. And, of course, you have access to numpy, pandas, jupyter, PIL ...
Yes, it's not just because people are at the moment going through a problem that they know how to solve it. It's one thing to be in a bad situation, how it is and so on, another is to know how to get out of it.
Agreed on tough sell - I just don't see enough value in Paper to make it worth it. Same is true for Quip by the way.
I should have said binary point.

IME the paradoxical response has more to do with tolerance. I’ve never met someone who sidn’t get stimmed out from amphetamines when they didn’t have a tolerance.

But if tou take them wirh a tolerance and your underlying physical body is fatigued, it becomes very, very easy to fall asleep (or worse, to be too stimmed to sleep but too tired to be productive)

That’s a great solution, but at what point is it easier to just store your data yourself? If someone worried about their provider knowing some user has the same file as another user, that person shouldn’t really be trusting Google or Apple with anything.
His opinions on race and society.

When I first heard Kanye's "New Slaves" I thought I was learning something profound about the black experience. But if you watch his interviews on the song the whole thing is about his fking clothing line. I still like Kanye and I still like "New Slaves" but I like them for how I see them and not how they are. I think I feel the same way about Atlanta now.

Glover's opinions on race and society are just...stupid. He reminds me of "Darius". Even if he's right it doesn't seem like he's given it much thought.

The map is mostly based on AIS data; AIS transponders are only required on vessels larger than 100 tons, thus excluding smaller coastal fishing vessels.

EDIT According to wikipedia, I'm wrong (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automatic_identification_syste... ). The international limit (IMO SOLAS) is apparently 300 gross tons, though local jurisdictions can have stricter requirements, e.g. it mentions that the EU requires all fishing vessels longer than 16m to be equipped.

EDIT2 wikipedia is wrong, the EU limit for fishing vessels is 15m as of 2014-05-31 (http://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/HTML/?uri=CELE...).
> I believe taxation is theft, but that that fact is no excuse for allocating spending of tax dollars unwisely.

So your position is: Oh its stealing money, but lets spend the stolen money better?

> What the Republican Party, and many Libertarians seem to think is that because taxation is theft, anything that depends on taxation is immoral, and therefore taxes are free to be allocated immorally. That conclusion is fallacious, absurd, and malicious.

No they don't. Its a talking point that they've conveniently latched on to since you need to have a reason for doing the terrible things that they do without admitting it explicitly. I'll give them credit for exploiting the worst parts of individualism in the US to convince many (seemingly you included) of the "evil of taxation and government". But it is not an ideology that they believe in. Nor, I will point out, are any of their solutions backed by any kind of experience or evidence.
How Much Does a Compiler Cost?
Yes, it is. DRW’s Cumberland Trading branch engages in cryptocurrency HFT, as far as I’m aware.
Yes, why would centralization not be good for efficient delivery of healthcare services, particularly where multidisciplinary treatment is involved? It's basically why the cancer centers were set up.

There are several topics here that are related in this community.

1) Hacking your mind/body through the use of physical/mechanical environment changes: meditation, exercise, diet, and so forth. A lot of hackers do this.

2) Hacking your mind/body through the use of Over-The-Counter chemicals: vitamins, minerals, amino acids, roots, nootropics, and so forth. A lot of hackers do this.

3) Hacking your mind/body through the use of prescription drugs: adderall, opiates, etc. Some hackers do this, many have probably experimented at one time or another and walked away. (They are hackers, after all)

4) Classic drug addiction, which is where all the drama is. I've been in the business a long time and haven't seen a lot of junkies -- but I've seen many folks who looked unstable one way or another and drugs may have been the cause. Don't know.

My point is this: the hacking community screws around with stuff, including their own bodies, all the time. It's the mindset. There are HNers right now that can tell you to the gram how much protein, carbohydrates, and fiber they've consumed in the last month, along with providing you a chemical analysis of their stool. We're an odd bunch.

I did that until I felt like I had collected enough books to last me a lifetime. Once in a while I'll still order one that has good information on a topic I am passionate about. I have eclectic tastes and libraries usually don't have the information I need (outside of a particular one in Santa Fe, far from where I live).

$1,000/month for an entire apartment? Where in NYC?
It is, but most people will deny it. Like Morpheus said in the Matrix: 'You have to understand. Most people are not ready to be unplugged. And many of them are so inured and so hopelessly dependent on the system that they will fight to protect it.'

It's what we're taught here. An absurd mixture of patriotism and narcissism so strong that it's practically synonymous with America now. Those two ideas intertwined support this entire nation and enable the sad places in this country that form your opinion. If we could tone them down, we could really see a revitalization in the American Dream. Not sure it'll happen absent being dethroned as a world power.
Addy / Vyvanse seem to be the doctor's choice (as well as college kids') so it is generally just more available and seen as safer than straight street speed. Similarly, coke is also much cheaper / readily available in the US compared to Europe. I don't / have never opened up to coworkers about drug use/abuse but among my high earning friends, I'd say its a small group that uses it frequently and a large group that uses stimulants recreationally or when there is a big deadline coming up. I fall into that second category - if I have a ton of work and access to addy I'm going to be using it (I can't ever concentrate on work on coke - tons of energy and concentration, just no interest in doing work). However, if we're talking weed it's well over half of my friends that use it daily usually in the morning while answering emails / prior to work and immediately after / while working late. Granted, those same friends that smoke daily have been doing so since college
There is a lot of bot-driven trading going on. To the degree it starts approaching HFT-levels of speed I'm not sure. I don't know what sort of algorithmic trading arms race is going on in that space since the order books are still thin enough for a small number of well-moneyed people to impact the price in a non-trivial manner.
I think when you talk about opinions on race and society, it is opinion, Glover's view on it may seem stupid to you but it isn't stupid to him and many others. Just as your views or even mine might be stupid to Glover. I don't think that is reason to dislike a person.

Nikkei doesn't even support their own headline. Samsung Display saw YoY decreases in OLED purchases by themselves, increased competition from Chinese and Taiwanese display suppliers, and essentially zero adoption of OLED by Chinese phone manufacturers[0] (also linked above). All those factors get fewer headlines than Apple doom and gloom, though.

This doesn’t make any sense to me. I live in Florida, and it’s hard to find a restaurant that doesn’t serve seafood.

Do you ask people if they’ve recently eaten seafood? How many people have you met that mentioned recently eating a potato?
Where exactly does this predict that new york would be under water by now ? The BBC article quotes: "In the end, it will just melt away quite suddenly. It might not be as early as 2013 but it will be soon, much earlier than 2040." and "A few years ago, even I was thinking 2050, 2070, out beyond the year 2100, because that's what our models were telling us. But as we've seen, the models aren't fast enough right now; we are losing ice at a much more rapid rate." "My thinking on this is that 2030 is not an unreasonable date to be thinking of."

The snopes articles says Al Gore sometimes inaccurately represented studies that predicted the timeline for an ice-free Arctic.

Not even close to your initial claim.
Superman's origin story in both Movies and Comics is absolutely based on Moses.

But I don't think Superman really acts like Jesus, or Moses would in any situation.

I'm curious how you think the comics express Superman's personality or actions differently than the movies?
