IME it totally depends on the degree. Master’s in Electrical Engineering? You’ll be respected. Master’s in Anthropology? Yep, people will absolutely think you slacked off too much.
For everyone saying Telegram/Durov will just get leaned on by Russia:

1. Durov got ousted out of his own company (VK, basically Facebook in Russia) by Putin. He then decided to live in exile in Germany

2. Telegram is incorporated in Germany (which has some of the toughest privacy laws in the world), not Russia

3. Their keys are segmented and hosted in different jurisdictions, that are picked to be likely antithetical to each other. This means an adversary has to go through multiple legal systems, and power blocs (China, EU, N. America) can’t just use their regional sway to force key collection.

If there is one thing you can dislike Telegram for, its that they rolled MTProto instead of something more default. But in terms of personel, legal and UI/UX, they’re golden.
Yeah, mine is 122MB at the moment as displayed in the OS X Activity monitor.
The people you interact with the most are probably also more likely to be the people that interact with each other. So FB can see everyone who has your email address in their list and then prioritize those people who are most connected with each other.

I am guessing, but it is quite amazing how freakily accurate simple statistics can be.
i did try that, but you know what, facebook had a protection where it said, you are logging form an unusual place, please verify that you are the owner of the account in that they trow you a bunch of your friends and ask information about them.
I honestly cannot believe people like you can follow these events and end up with these conclusions.

Mueller is not playing. Have you seen the man's bio? You think this is a game? Like he is one to bend to political pressure? From who and to what end?

Every indication points to this investigation gaining more steam as it moves along. There is no indication of any slow down. Mueller is wasting a lot of people's time for what?

What could possibly be his motivation outside of some "deep state" conspiracy that is being peddled?
He's not. Think back about your peer group and see if you can pick many people that did a MS because there's an extra 20000 slots. It was zero for me.
Making Preserved Food Actually Taste Good
> It's also what the original user probably intended

You'd be surprised the number of clueless people that have no idea what their email address is. They might have the username@(att|aol|yahoo) and believe now it's @gmail.

It's more ignorance than malice in cases like these. FB, OTOH, is not forcing the email verification because they know that it's a friction and they don't want that.
Really? I only saw >8 semester degrees in medicine.
I agree. My employer at the time paid for my MS.

I enjoy school, learning, and interacting with teachers and classmates so my personal value was high even if it didn't mean more money.
My MS program was very geared towards giving a foundation to pursue a PhD. There were some aspects of it that were tangentially helpful in my career as a software developer, but it definitely was not the focus. Thinking back I feel like it was that way because that is what all of the professors knew. Few of them had experience outside academia so it makes sense that the program would reflect that. Maybe things were different at other institutions. This was also more than a decade ago, so things could be different now in general.
Outside of collusion, Trump's public deference to Putin is inexcusable and highly suspect.

I get around this by using the web client daily (pinned tab in chrome) and open up the desktop app whenever I need to do specifically screen sharing (or just skype). It's not worth the resource headache.
My kids have now had both iPads and Chromebooks, and the Chromebooks were obvious winners in every single way. The teachers and kids both like them, they're clearly better for actual school work and learning, everything is just better. It's just a nice bonus that they're way cheaper.
Does Durov have family living in Russia? If he does, there's always a way to lean on him if Putin decides it could be of value to the national interests.
In SESTA/FOSTA, Lawmakers Failed to Separate Their Good Intentions from Bad Law
I don’t understand how the highest voted comment (at this time) in this thread is a user spreading a false notion that ‘if you only have a bachelor [in Europe], people assume something went wrong’.

Do they have sources to back this kind of snooty claim up?

Anecdotally, the only time I’ve come across this attitidude is when individuals heavily-vested in academia are attempting to stake out the moral high ground.
The idea that there's a recurring massive problem of false convictions for rape is bizarre. In most countries it's extremely difficult to get alleged rape prosecuted in the first place and the conviction rate is low. I'm not going to dispute that it might have happened in some cases but it's a comparatively rare problem.

(Also, I'm going to assume you're not a native English speaker - the contrasting group nouns should be "men" and "women" not "males" and "girls")
The whole discussion in the article and on HN fits the general pattern of communication malfunctions when X is the only X in a sea of Y, which at least seems to make it universally applicable and everyone's got some advice from once being the only X in a sea of Y.

Or, are we/I missing something specific where being the only X is unique in the isolated case of a disabled kid? Something to do specifically with maternal or paternal instincts maybe?

My point is if we can't define the problem accurately as a general issue or a very focused issue, then all the discussion will be at the wrong scale, if not outright wrong.
Would you choose ipads over chromebooks for them?
Just realized the phonetic connection between Lazarus and Toys 'R' Us.
Pretty hilarious/depressing WaPo coverage from when the Communications Decency Act was struck down in the lower court (before it got to the Supreme Court): https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/politics/1996/06/13/c....

Love this quote:

> But a leading proponent of the legislation, Bruce Taylor of the National Law Center for Children and Families, said yesterday that the court "jumped off the bridge" with its "absolute" decision. Saying "the technology overwhelmed the court," Taylor predicted the Supreme Court would reject the ruling. "They haven't got a prayer of having this upheld on appeal," he said.

These twits are going to win eventually, just slowly.
I think the news from the last couple days, make it clear that the next step is to MOVE OUT of all those platforms.

History is repeating. As soon as they got enough power, they use it to exercise their own view of the world, deleting data//videos they don't like or reselling it to 3rd parties.

We need to come up with a better solution for non-technical users to post content outside those platforms.
I doubt that. Bachelor is not sufficient for a lot of areas in CS, like DB/Distributed System/Machine Leanring, etc.
No, that's the default slack experience if you have a lot of teams.

I recommend:

* Disabling emoji support, especially animated emojis>

* Disabling auto-expanding of images (gifs are egregious)

* Use compact display

* Limit number of channels/groups you're in if possible, surely you don't need all those channels.

Doing this curbed my resource usage quite a lot. I don't miss emoji's all that much.
I was trying to explain what a leveraged buyout was and why a company like Toys R Us had so much debt on its books. After trying to talk through it, I used the mortgage analogy and it made a lot more sense.
I genuinely don't think any of these questions were asked or discussed in any real fashion.

It really sounds like this was touted as a way to reduce prostitution and sex trafficking and nobody involved ever questioned if it would really do that, because simply questioning a bill like this can get your name in the news about how much you support sex trafficking. And that news story will never go away, 10 years from now people will be bringing that story up about how you once opposed a bill designed to reduce sex trafficking, and how can anyone trust someone that once supported something so vile?

>When you do manual work outdoors, there is a sort of physical element that allows you to get "in the zone" and it really feels like true work.

The mind and the body are meant to be worked together.

I think that jobs like programming which minimize physical movement and maximize mental work are unnatural.

I've worked as a programmer, but before that I worked farm labour.

My meals and my sleep have never been as good as those days when I did a full day on the farm, feeding animals, milking cows and taking in the hay.

There's also sites that "only work on Chrome" just like they once "only worked on IE".

Oh, no. That must be prevented. Like, if they made it so gmail and google docs only worked with Chrome, now that practically everybody has moved to gmail.... There would be no defense of such a move.

>>Graduate courses are geared towards research

Nope, only PhD courses. In the US, Master’s programs are widely understood to be “professional” programs, i.e. geared towards private sector.

You do not seem familiar with the definition of "election fraud"

Yes, the DNC was in the bag for Clinton. That's hardly election fraud and doubtful would rise to the level of criminal activity, however distasteful.

Thank you for that link. That is not the type of "test" I am referring to. I am referring to the sample project style "test" that you mention in your second paragraph. This was explained to HR, with examples and references, but they were unconvinced.
So if I post something about sex and prostitution research in HN then HN is liable for some criminal violation if they don't censor it? What kind of insanity is that? Would that not open the possibility of destroying an online site with comments (or even something like Medium) deliberately by posting now "illegal" things?
> Mozilla's apparent goal of using Nightly users as a captive pool of test dummies.

I thought that it is the main purpose of Nightly, roughly paraphrased but overall accurate.

I'm using it as my semi-primary ("work") browser and from the day one I live in faith that 1) it may stop working any time 2) there is some Mozillian peeking over my shoulder all the time (figuratively).
Same. The web client has feature parity with the desktop client so I haven’t understood why people bother with the latter.
This is what you get when you use a full-blown web browser for a simple messaging app.
Continuing the anecdata collection, I'm in the over 1GB club. One instance of Slack, six of Slack Helper, several of which using 200GB of memory, but the biggest being 1GB.

Ask HN: Not feeling it from the CEO. What can I do? (equity split)
I joined a startup as CTO that is 9 months old (5 months with me) and has VC funding. I now have equal equity to the CEO. Now that I know how much I will continue to contribute that is core to my expertise & experience, I think I should have more like 3:2 or 2:1 (CTO:CEO), and that the CEO is really CMO/COO material. Is there something like an Equity-Split Consultancy I can use for help?

The startup is complex VR software that I have 19 years experience in. I'm formerly a tenured academic leading a research group in this area. I've also worked on big-name projects as a SWEng in this area. I have won awards for my work and know the tech & product very well. I've also iterated similar "products" with customers. I have taught project management, founded a successful online business, a PhD in exactly what we are doing, and 10 years of building toward breaking away from uni to do this. So even though joining this startup seemed ideal, I'm finding that the CEO is out of his depth and I can't follow him. The startup has excellent potential, but relies heavily on new tech coming together meaningfully to meet the customers' needs.

I have raised the issue and presented a strong case for change. In the subsequent meeting about it the CEO was aggressive, so I asked for a detailed response in writing. It's really taking the shine off of the journey. I'd love to do this with the CEO in a lesser role.

I'm torn between; 1. suck it up and keep going, and 2. this is only going to hurt more and more so why empower them (it doesn't feel like this is mine enough to warrant the massive contribs I'm making to the vision and the product day to day). Part of why it doesn't feel like mine enough is that the vesting schedule means the massive contribs will only help me if I see it through.

I've used https://cofounders.gust.com to get some numbers. Even when I over-state his measures, and under-state mine, I come out with 2:1 in my favor.

Can this work out?
Facebook can't be the only app that has collected this data, can it? What about every other app that requests permission to see that data?
Well, I'm glad OP pointed out that nightly might do unexpected things with my browsing habit information in order to gather data on browser use in nightly- I admit, I hadn't really thought that through.

It won't stop me from using it for development browsing and some other things, but it might give me pause before visiting some sites I suppose (so I would switch browsers).

My problem with nightly is that it doesn't automatically update, so I have to reinstall every day. And I'm just too lazy (errr, "busy") to be bothered with that. Is there away around this issue on Mint (Ubuntu)? I even put a menu entry into my "shortcuts" menu on fluxbox, but it's nightly from December or something.

I’m not saying you can’t. If you want to, go for it. But feeling that you are charmless and ugly is unpleasant even if you can buy sex. Even if you never want to have sex with someone you’re not paying I’d give the same advice to any man who felt he had a poor personality and physical experience. These are problems that are at worst, and I do mean worst, ameliorable.

Facebook did this to me and I was unable to access my own account (that had been disabled for years).

So I gave up. Actually appreciate them for putting that barrier in place. I am happy to not be on Facebook.

The study by Chetty et al. did find that black men earn less than their parents' income would predict, but this is NOT proof of "racism's punishing reach". Black men are more likely to be incarcerated, as the study documents, because they commit crimes at a higher rate. Having a criminal record reduces earnings. Blacks and society in general would be better off if that crime rate could be lowered. Steve Sailer has some good critiques of Chetty's study.

You can prevent this by running Little Snitch and only allowing outbound traffic if you are connected to GRUfi. Hell, Little Snitch even has a mode that blocks all but the core services on your Mac. Do that combined with a router-VPN with a kill switch and a hardened browser I don’t see how you would leak your location.

Edit: you could even configure Little Snitch to ask for permission for every app and domain your Mac wants to connect to. That way you would even catch yourself accidentally surfing to the wrong URL or using the wrong browser.

I wouldn't say it's the only way. You could certainly gather data from experimental archaeology. True, you couldn't duplicate the lives of early hunter gatherer's precisely since you would have to take certain precautions to protect the well being of the researchers and you would be limited in your choice of locations but you could certainly perform experiments that would tell you how much time was necessary for gathering food, hunting, preparing food, making clothing and tools, building and repairing shelters, etc.

Because he didn't have a choice. If he could trade this vacation for more food, medication for his children, or many other resources, he gladly would - but I don't think that as a peasant in the winter you really could make anything out of your time without a capitalist society and other jobs.

All modern people have a choice about how much time they spend at their jobs. I've switched to 3-day workweek sometimes, raking 50% cut in salary; turns out, if you're not in a leading position, it's painfully obvious to negotiate. People in first world countries don't need to work 40 hours a week to avoid starvation. We do it out of our own free will, because we want more stuff.

And, out of this personal experience - because we don't really have anything better to do with our time. Even a regular, a bit boring job beats sitting around the house and watching TV. Driving your own personal projects requires a significant amount of motivation and willpower, and most of us would be too ashamed to admit that we lack it.
For me, cmd + tabbing to a chat application is a much better user experience than having to dig through open tabs and/or multiple instances of the browser.
