The bigger problem is recruiting. How many offers will be declined in favor of Google, startups, etc...
Yes, I do. Because it's something they do specifically to avoid responsibility. And the rich are adults, who are perfectly capable of taking responsibility for their actions.
This question is a red herring. I hate this question because the only acceptable answer is to ask candidates about their experience and make a gut feel on that. Which only works if your gut feel is properly calibrated. Which often looks like unconscious bias.

Anything else is "too much work" on the candidate.

A take-home? "I don't have time to work on unpaid stuff!"

A pairing session? "I don't have time to work on unpaid stuff!"

Software engineering trivia? "Why are they asking me to build a linked list when I'd just use stdlib in real life?"

Asking about stuff on the resume? "They've never worked on ${thing}; how could they judge me on it?"
Sure, when they're available. Have you looked at the area where the woman was hit?
Facebook is only at July 2017 levels. So they're not really what I'd call "low," they're just regressed to a price point from less than a year earlier.

Only really impacts short term investors and speculators.
IMO, the graphs show that the quoted statement is absolutely misleading: "Inflation has been 3% a year for decades and wages have stayed flat."

I agree that they would likely not refute a different, unmade, point about income inequality.

The second reference is saying that real new-car prices have declined by about 36%. ==> 1-(100/155.6)
The artical talks about OEM distributors/resellers abusing the terms.
Surprised the park hasn't gone totally bankrupt from the amount of class-action suits available here.
lol, probably none?
Not being tied to "Go"lang is the reason I am interested in it.
Doesn't matter. At the first hint of trouble you escaped back to your country, protected by the government which had sent you there in the first place, and now the rebels have been murdered thanks to the data you got out.
I wonder if the statute of limitations to sue Facebook over allowing the Obama campaign “ingest the entire US social graph” [1] has expired. Red states and Republicans should jump on this bandwagon too. Allowing Facebook data to be used in elections is either fraud or it isn’t, regardless of whether the candidate benefiting from it is the one the press likes or not.

Well, with your formula you have just described work of media since invention of printing press. However, it doesn't work as easy as you described. Almost every political campaign tries to utilize this playbook, and absolute majority of of them fail. In fact, looking for the best historical examples fitting your argument one may find they generally comes from countries which strictly regulated their media.
Yes, the scanners available for Android and a computer both will scan for Bluetooth devices and use those for positioning as well.
Read some books, study various aspects via books experiments, maybe take/audit/or watch a few specific finance classes (graduate MBA level finance will be easy for you) don't do the whole degree.
do they really disable them? I always thought that LTE modems only come with certain frequency bands.

I can slightly remember that the iphone 5 only had 2 or 3 frequency bands while at the beginning of lte some providers did use the frequency which the iphone had more often, so some providers had better lte support.
But I can hardly remember, it was some years ago and my provider switch basically came within the lte rollout.
I mean it probably also consumes more energy to scan more bands (ok that could be solved with software)
While politics may (I question it) be the new religion, branding is definitely the new church.

Companies have adopted the attention, aesthetic principles, devotion and trust that people once reserved only for the church.
> When I think of authoritarian Presidential actions, I think more of drone striking U.S. citizens without due process.

The power of the President to wage war under a Congressional authorization, including when those fighting for the enemy include US citizens, is pretty firmly established.

It's one of the reasons you really don't want Congress passing ludicrously broad authorizations and leaving them in force permanently.
It was then two lanes in each direction, undivided, with often a two-way left-turn lane in the middle. Lots of head-on crashes despite it being mostly straight after the initial bend off Monterey Rd.
Feel free to exert that 'just a very little bit of effort', for all our sakes. If it's that easy it shouldn't take more than a couple of days, right? :)

I jest. ECMAScript is the most widely installed programming platform on the planet. Ever. How do you even begin to shift that?
That's also a description of ads.
It's only a problem if the candidate in the candidate-employee pair produce code that ends up in master and that candidate doesn't get hired.

My assumption would be that if a candidate's code is good enough to get released, then the candidate is, by definition, good enough for the company.

I also assume that most of the time spent in this "interview" in a live codebase is the employee asking about how the candidate thinks and decides on things, not for the pair to actually produce working code.

I also assume that the code used within the codebase is non-business-critical stuff like an internal tool.
Seattle is the only one I have personal experience with and I've found it to be pretty good. Usually walking < 1 mile total is reasonable. If you live out in King county things are a little different of course. Are the other cities better than that?
I'm curious to know what mechanism allows users of custom ROMs to register their device IDs, but not users of pre-installed ROMs on "unlicensed devices".
American brogrammers wear a steel ring as well, it's just not usually visible until skinny dipping in the BVI during the close of the C round.
> Further the needs have also grown: without a car it’s impossible for most people to have a job

In parts of the US. For most parts of the Europe, and indeed many cities in the US, a car is not a requirement.
Not yet! My long-term plan is to travel around and staff at as many freedom schools as I can, and then bring that model back home to Toronto.

I'm in the process of winding up my commitments now so I can commit all my resources to the journey.

Were you able to include Sudbury data in your research?
Potentially wealthier. If they find within minutes where their opiate supplier is, the new cat video and talk to anybody about what the Kardashians (sorry, Kardashians) were up to... are they really wealthier than when these sorts of things took longer?
Reasons not to use Facebook
"What resources or "connections" do you need?"

Money, for one. Time for two.
I've never thought about this before but I nodded with agreement with each point.
N = 1, but I used to put it in the second sentence of my emails. The unsubscribe rate was still measured in basis points, although I had an unusually high quality list relative to e.g. most e-commerce shops.
Designing a fast CLI join tool with rust
The problem with naive occupancy grid mapping from sparse LIDAR data is that things like birds, falling leaves, pieces of paper of plastic bags flying in the wind can mark the grid occupied.

Emergency breaking for all these cases would be very dangerous. The same object must be scanned multiple times to get the idea if the object is something to be avoided.
Ok I will tell you.

We need a site like askpatents where each claims are hyperlinked to supporting evidence, with ONE forum for debating one side or the other, and voting the best arguments to the top. Then, news stories containing reputable claims would link to the site. Those articles that would spread fake news could have their claims autolinked to the page debunking it.

To game this, you would have to create tons of accounts upvoting bad arguments, downvoting good ones, and overloading the links to biased secondary sources. But the arguments would still be there. Ultimately how does science avoid such sabotage?
Having run a US political campaign, this isn't showing confidence that you understand the issue. You're blurring two, different definitions of donation: the IRS and FEC meanings. In the past, I've had to count website or technical work as an in-kind donation, especially if I would normally charge.
If perjury may save an innocent person's life, by god, I will perjure.

I have great respect for most parts of our justice system. This is not one of those parts, therefore I choose civil disobedience.
Ask HN: What will happen to React if we #deleteFacebook?
There are other cultural issues stopping tuition-free college in the USA. At best, tuition-free community college is the best we might be able to hope for.

Case in point: Europeans don't have for-profit companies extracting wealth from uneducated Americans.

There's fundamental problems to the US's education system at play here. We can't throw money at the problem and hope for it to work. We have to culturally fix those issues.
I have also tried making a coinhive clone. Sparechange. We fully investigate any complaints and ban API keys immediately after investigation. The only reason to keep mining with a known bad key is greed.

also edit - we are working on a way for site owners to validate their site via a DNS entry or something, and only allow keys to mine on validated sites. We want to make this space less scummy!
It did more damage than you think
I just mean that Ms. Vestager is not the only one who can play hardball or rattle sabers here. Google can and has done it in the past.
I worked at Spectra-Physics when the contamination occurred. It was below a plating line that did alodine prior to painting aluminum laser and instrument housings. The building pictured is Bldg 5, where I had my first serious job. This was a clean building where ion laser tubes were manufactured and scientific lasers, including the first high power single frequency, and ultrafast (picosecond) lasers were final tested. Spectra-Physics was bought and sold many times, and is now a division of a company that perfected a relatively simple vacuum gauge that relied on the movement of a stai steel diaphragm. Spectra was the first laser IPO, but it never really flourished; it was kind of ruined by Stanford MBAs. It’s competitor, Coherent, became a powerhouse, largely because it retained its technical leadership. My building 5 is now a Korean church. Now that’s a profitable business!
Then start lobbying the red states to stop placing restrictions on birth control and family planning.
Ugh, it says they rushed the design and build in order to impress a Travel Channel show/producer..

(Not putting this at the feet of the TV channel, just so insanely wrong priorities on the part of the park)
Measures that can capture some of what you're looking for are "U-6 unemployment," which includes discouraged workers as well as those actively looking, as well as the labor force participation rate. U-6 has been showing steady improvement and nearing 30-year lows (from late 90s). Participation rates have been on a decline though for quite some time, but this includes people who don't want to or can't work. One thing we saw during the great recession is a huge increase in permanent disability applications.
Στην Ζυρίχη με τους Φαραώ η Εθνική Ελλάδος
I'd much rather know about something that's about to be a problem then find out about it at 9 AM when it is a problem. I would argue staying on top of my work life throughout the day prevents stressful issues. I'm proactive instead of reactive, and when someone up the chain wants to know what's going on, the chances are, I already know, and it's already partway resolved, and those are very comforting answers to be able to give people.

I have a number of hobbies! I'm writing a home automation system, it runs in my car now as well. I play a fair number of games, am a pretty regular movie theater goer, etc. Don't mistake being reachable for being in a constant state of panic, I actually used to have a job where I'd have to duck out of a movie theater if my phone went off when I was on call, and now it's really not a big deal, I can get to it when I have a few moments.
3Blue1Brown is one of my favorite youtubers. It is a nice format that is inbetween "explain it to me like I'm 5" and an open courseware. Grant tends to give enough information to become familiar enough with a subject that you can do good research on your own.

Their podcast is also great, Ben Ben Blue. Which has Ben Eater, another great Youtuber.
FTC confirms probe into Facebook data misuse scandal
I'm inclined to agree.

Perhaps I'm just getting old and cynical but it seems like a lot of people consider it a badge of honor to be diagnosed with some sort of neuro/psycho disability. Granted, that's not a terrible thing per se, because if nothing else, it means there's a significant shift away from the stigmatizing perception of the past. I just have a hard time accepting the celebratory nature of things like this. Similar to the body positivity movement, which itself is a healthy shift towards acceptance and responsibility, there's always a fringe element who seem to romanticize and glorify something. I personally believe it's because many people want to feel included in "something", and that's fine, I don't have a problem with that. I just get grumpy when the initial context goes from understanding the way a disorder can impact your life and raising awareness to "let's make an exclusive group to carve out a little island only me and other special people like me can hang out on". It feels a lot like the reason and purpose are hijacked and unfortunately the message gets lost and tainted, creating more of a backlash than anything else. I don't have a problem with exclusionary groups at all either; my issue is when they use the growing awareness of something else to piggyback off of. I dunno, that's my $0.02 that no one asked for lol.
Not sure I follow the logic, $350 on a passable phone that lasts 5~ years and affords me the ability to save time on banking (paying bills at least) and also connecting them to unimaginable numbers of people potentially while also granting access to the worlds information. Wifi hopping and pay as you go mobile plans mean that any cost outside of the cellphone itself is miniscule.

Why I think the value proposition of a smartphone is completely justified, it probably pays for itself many times over.
The full indictment [1] is well worth reading. The most relevant sections for HN, in my opinion:

> 35. [Designer Jeffrey] HENRY compared the construction of Verrückt to an arms race against rival waterparks.

> 37. HENRY admitted that he was ignoring established industry safety standards because he felt he could redefine those standards with his own achievements. While describing his vision of how Verrückt would change the industry, HENRY explained, "[W]e're going to set the standards up, and set the education up, and we're gonna redefine many of the definables that have been defined in the industry that we couldn't find good reasons for."

Out of curiosity, how long do you think it would take your average "office professionals, small businesspeople, skilled tradespeople" to frugal their way into a 4-bedroom house on 66 acres, free and clear? (https://www.frugalwoods.com/2016/04/06/that-time-we-bought-a...)
This is nonsense. You have to know how to open a company, to have an idea for what it will do, have some way of building your product initially, etc. This knowledge (or the time to find it out on one's own) is itself a resource. Being able to take the risks inherent in opening a company is a resource that your average person might not have for many reasons, including needing immediate returns to support dependents or satisfy immediate and important expenses.
It’s explained in the post. To summarize: the Go team felt it would be best if users developed the tooling to solve the problem rather than having an official solution. This resulted in too many solutions, which is itself a non-solution.

Pretty clearly this was a mistake by the Go team, and the blog post says as much.
Silicon Valley should be basically Santa Clara Valley, but in practice, it basically means everywhere including SF and the east bay.
There are multiple ways to say the same thing. Why do you think they aren't saying what they want directly if they aren't using language that deters women?
Doesn’t the author recommend exactly that in the last sentence of the article?
Looks like the one at Alma and El Camino, right across from Stanford Mall.
U.S. federal election law is pretty clear on this. If a company that is normally paid for a service provides that service to a federal election campaign for free, it counts as material support of that campaign, at the value that that service would have cost at regular price.

> Have you ever tried to write off open source work as a donation? I don't think this works the way you want it to. Software isn't a donation.

If you typically charge for your software development time hourly, and you provide 10 hours of software development to a 501(c)3, you indeed can write that off as a donation. You will just need a receipt from the org to which you donated your time.

You can't write off typical open source work as a donation because you're not donating anything. Under most open source licenses you keep your IP, but provide a free license to anyone who downloads the code. Even if a nonprofit uses your code, you set the price to $0.00, so there's nothing to write off.
Or hire them provisionally, and decide 90 days later. For instance. There are lots of ways to compensate Engineering hires without asking them to do unpaid work.
I don't believe that recruiting is a big problem. Their immediate problem is that money isn't coming in. When you don't have money coming in you're not worried about hiring more people.
what the essentially did in the 90s was to dig giant trenches around entire city block, way down to the impermeable clay layer ... then fill the trenches with a similar impermeable clay creating a giant block sized container which they are still now pumping water through to slowly clean out the polutants
Guess "we" will have to do a cost-benefit analysis!
From the indictment:

19. HENRY and SCHOOLEY lacked the technical expertise to properly design a
complex amusement ride such as Verrückt. Neither of the two men possessed any
kind of technical or engineering credential relevant to amusement ride design or
safety. As SCHOOLEY admitted, "If we actually knew how to do this, and it could
be done that easily, it wouldn't be that spectacular."

I was reading a story about how this was built by unqualified engineers and I was really confused how that happened, but a quick summary:

The owners of this park have a long history of building and operating water parks in general, with the specialty of "lazy river" type infinite pool rides.

This extreme ride is a very different piece of work and gets into the "roller coaster" design which is a whole different piece of engineering.
Compared to the UK this doesn't really sound that cheap.
>To game this, you would have to create tons of accounts upvoting bad arguments, downvoting good ones, and overloading the links to biased secondary sources. But the arguments would still be there.

This doesn't seem like much of a hurdle. It basically describes what happens on reddit, with varying degrees of success. I know of no large social site that's solved this problem.
I can't talk of a solution because I don't see a problem.

I'm fine with political campaigns advertising for their candidate. If I see an advertisement for a candidate on Facebook, TV, or anywhere else, and I agree with the advertisement's message or call to action (donating), I'm happy I saw it! If I see an ad for a candidate I don't agree with, then at worst I feel my attention was wasted. To the extent advertisers use personal information to target those advertisements, that just means I see less of the ads that I'm less likely to find valuable. Targeted political ads aren't causing a problem for me personally.

So I don't see a problem with political advertising, but I do see a political bent in the outrage at Cambridge Analytica and its connection to Donald Trump.
The article says you have to tie the device ID to your google account. Presumably they don't have access to you google account.
Yep! Every single autonomous system I'm aware of (and that I'm allowed to speak about) has such a system designed in from the ground up. The article presupposes we allow "intelligence" handle all decision making, which seems ridiculous even in biological systems, let alone those we design for a single purpose.
Self hosted may as well be on premise for most companies though.

The whole point of SaaS is that someone else manages the app. If you've ever worked in an enterprise you would understand that it can take months/years and significant amounts of money to get an app "installed". Often there needs to be a business case, project and resourcing plans, security and risk reviews, legal compliance checks etc.

The infrastructure (cloud versus on premise) is just one part of a dozen and not usually the most challenging.

The Startup Recipe – An inspired introduction
I have setup a facebook account a very long time but i always kept the same basic usage and sticked to it, connect with friends, mostly nice persons I meet while traveling. No photos, no walls, just a few messages now and then to say hi. Nothing that would generate a all marketing industry at the expense of privacy.
You are correct, it's post-tax. (https://www.frugalwoods.com/2015/01/09/well-hot-damn-frugali...) It also doesn't include 401(k)s and mortgage principal.

Edit: Here's how they do it: https://www.frugalwoods.com/2014/04/10/how-we-save-65-annual...
Quite true -- but LIDAR has a very high refresh rate, and it's not hard to do better than naive grid mapping. This was a full height pedestrian plus bicycle, which would have multiple nice returns from a Velodyne HDL 64 at these distances.
Gross vs net
In the crypto context, you add a $20 loss and a $20 cap gain, which nets 0 and equals 0 tax.
> In fact, we completed just shy of 100 productions — who were happy to pay $500 to interact with an API over email — before we even rolled out the first iteration of our UI.

> How have you attracted users and grown Endcrawl.com? Once the Perl MVP existed, we cobbled together a landing page with a WuFoo form and sent an email blast to Pliny's filmmaker contacts. That was the extent of our launch.

Not trying to diminish the success of this work at all, you guys did a great job finding a niche and working through the process!

I get pitches talking about these types of stories and have noticed that many feature a strong "the founders knew a ton of people who would be the first customers" element that is lost on many readers who are looking to learn from the experience.

Not many SAAS concepts started by a lone hacker developer can get 100 people paying $500 ($50K!) to interact over email with an API with no UI without spending any money on advertising.
Are there any recent comparisons of Neural Machine Translation APIs?
There are more and more options nowadays for translation APIs. For example, AWS Translate, Google Translate, Yandex, Microsoft, etc. etc.

Is there some comparison out there of their performance (F1 scores or something)?
