Not arguing with the comment ranking. ;-)

However, I don't think electric cars are "mainstream", outside of a small slice of people, which probably overlaps pretty well with HN. ;) They have great mindshare thanks to Tesla's marketing (and because they're pretty damn good cars), but they're a blip in terms of overall car sales volume unless you filter by really high end sedans and SUVs.
I actually don't think it's really easier. Continuous attention is easier to maintain than hours of boredom only to have to react out of nowhere...maybe.
Seconding this. ThinMatrix is an awesome developer and very persistent. He also needs help in the art area.

It's amazing to me how many people think luck is a causal force.
Sure you voted for Trump because you want a tax cut. I'll give you that.

But on the other hand, you brought up the "worst candidate in history" thing because of other reasons. Its just not mathematically true, man. So bringing up bias is fair game; you aren't using math as a judge. But I guess it could be a bias of recent events. Who knows - either way its not true.

I'm sorry I triggered you with the word "Trump" and I'm sorry you triggered me with just saying something that is mathematically false.

I also looked at your hacker news profile and it looks like you only only talk about politics here - this is a technology forum so I think you have the wrong audience. I'm sorry you are so angry but Jesus Christ, lets talk about computers here.

PS - If I could save your blood pressure; I'd down vote this response for you. I don't care about internet points here.
If it's a test with a score and a threshold for hiring, it needs to be professionally developed: https://www.hiresuccess.com/blog/is-employment-testing-legal. Such tests are nearly useless for programmers.

What you should do is ask candidates to do a sample project that'll help you understand their strengths and weaknesses so you can dig into them in the interview. That's not a "test" as HR people use the word.
Its not so much the complexity of the instrument, but rather the quality. Most cheap beginner guitars have badly cut nuts, or warped necks or sharp fret edges that just make it so much harder for beginners to adapt to the instrument. Finger or hand pain is almost guaranteed.

Picking a better made instrument (substitute software dev tool, graphic design platform, cookware etc. here) will just make the process much easier, no matter your skill level.
Ask HN: Why, you all intellectual people not quitting Facebook?

I just went through this video about Cambridge Analytica whistleblower that talks about How and Why they did what they did. And it sounds so scary when they talk about Changing Culture which could be done by Changing People.
It sounds like a script from Black Mirror and now it seems like we are living in a black mirror.
As a person myself who uses fb. I wanted you guys to ask why even after knowing all these things you guys can't quit FB.
I am interested in more of matrix points that describe concisely why you are on FB and after this thing has happened what you are going to do about it in near future?
Sad. I had several great dates from Craigslist personals.
Caustic reflections are very high frequency in space and for non-trivial geometry likely won't work well in real time (unless you fake it somehow).

That said, just rendering mirror surfaces or refractions doesn't require more than an extra ray per interaction (one in the reflection direction and one in the refraction direction). You can add a texture and get bumpy reflectons or refractions as well.

The difference between these easy effects and the high spatial frequency caustic effects is indirect versus direct lighting. It's very easy to ray trace a a simple transparent model but a bright spot on the floor (e.g. [0]) below a reflective objects requires a lot of ray samples to capture directly.

Obviously driving prostitution underground and out of reach of researchers will improve the lives of sex workers. Prostitution is a very recent industry and was invented by the internet
After 24 years on Wall Street in various capacities, I am now in Shanghai, China. It took a personal tragedy for me to re-invent myself but currently I am assisting people globally by resume editing, LinkedIn Profile creation, interview coaching and final edit and review of academic applications to overseas universities. The work is deeply satisfying vs. my prior role making rich people a little richer. And I guesstimate, with proper use of technology, I still have 4-5x revenue potential until I need to find more staff and layer on some new biz lines.
From those articles, what is the strongest piece of evidence that should convince a skeptical reader?
Taking your point a step further, I often wonder if mathematics is a local minimum for humans. It has been so damn effective in so many ways that we can’t imagine that there might be some other mechanism for solving hard problems. In cases where the mathematics gets really complex, I wonder if this is a hint that there’s some other way to represent the situation.
For a good time respond to this post and we can make financial arrangements ;)
We reinvent wheels more than any other profession.

The name appears to be Japanese keyboard vendor FILCO, spelled backwards.
They're spending a LOT of cash but the big thing that stands out is most of the cash outlays is for PPE (property/plant/equipment). At the rate they're spending, they have about a year's runway and need to keep raising money or stop spending (or have a HUGE increase in revenue).

I'm not sure what they're investing in and how much more they have to invest so I don't have an opinion.
Wow, incredible discovery. Otherwise, water is wet.
Wonder how this jives alongside this other story with a confession letter from someone saying they were ordered to hack the DNC:

http://www.newsweek.com/russian-hacker-stealing-clintons-ema...

---

Konstantin Kozlovsky, a Russian citizen working for a hacker group called Lurk, confessed to hacking Clinton’s emails during a hearing about his arrest in August. An audio recording and minutes from the hearing were posted on Kozlovsky’s Facebook page, and their authenticity was reportedly confirmed by The Bell.

---

He allegedly worked with someone from FSB:

---

Kozlovsky identified his FSB handler as Dmitry Dokuchaev, a cybersecurity expert who worked as a hacker before joining the FSB.

Dokuchaev, who used the moniker “Forb,” has been linked to a group of hackers called Shaltai Boltai, or Humpty Dumpty,

---

Perhaps the DNC was hacked by both? It was a pretty large target and multiple state actors gave it a try.
Currently we're losing a million lives a year (about a 9/11 per day) to auto accidents. I think there's a serious argument that it's ethical to push autonomous driving onto the road before they're safer than humans if that would help them debug the software faster and advance to superhuman safety levels even a day sooner.
People will crease them anyway, accidental or otherwise.

Flexible displays are far too fragile to be practical except in applications where they're literally bent only once and then affixed to something for the rest of their life.
It is in the article:

It's been around for 2 years, I noticed it when github released a polyfill.

It's been great to rely on a standard function, than any of the libraries to make http requests.

I also have 2 fake accounts that I use more than my real one.
Sorry, but I didn't actually make a career out of accounting (I only wanted the knowledge to understand investments and maybe as a backup career plan). I don't think I can give meaningful advice on this.
I know several people who met and got married with children on CL. It was a normal dating site, and it also has(d) "strictly platonic" and "missed connections"- all of it is shut down now. Are dating sites/Tinder next? We will miss the days when internet wasn't like cable TV.
Hydrogen is a different kind of ICE. They could imagine it. Electric was hard to imagine.

I'm not even disagreeing with the main premise of the article-- there's no way BMW could shift the bulk of its production to electric right now. I'm just saying the could for some of the high(er?/est?) end vehicles that have low volume anyway, and they can charge ~$100K for the gas versions. Electric would be faster and have more cachet.

It's more about starting out with being able to see what network activity specific applications are causing before you try to define what's allowed. There are a lot of programs running on my linux desktop that I would first need to monitor before I can decide if they should be restricted (or simply uninstalled).
Doesn't your argument also apply to the other side though? That we can't just say "It didn't work in the past so it won't work now" without any context or actual evaluation?
Give your people flexibility and space. Neither cost much, at least directly. Results-based, not metrics-based. Et cetera
Mum ran a small successful chain of restaurants for 20 yrs, she pretty much agrees, a lot of stuff happens, business isnt one way up or one way down as most people believe but mix of sudden huge ups and downs over way too many yrs.

However have to be very prepared, risk tolerant and actually have something that stands out and attracts customers and you're either quarter or halfway there.

Luck in business is more like societal movements, consequences and jerks that catch people by surprise
I really dont understand how in America, tiny houses doesn't get translated as slums.
But fractions are also fiction: who says that one can be divided into two? That's just waiting around for inflation to kick in. And negative numbers: same. It's just hoping for a bigger number to subtract off from.

Only the natural numbers exist. All the rest is fantasy.

If you're a lone consultant, you likely spend more than 10% of your hours on "selling" your services, recruiting clients, etc. Especially since not every pitch works out. If you can get all of your sales&marketing and much of your scope negotiation done by someone else, that's worth 10% of the project cost because that's 10% of the project effort.

Lawyers in America do not choose jurors.

They exclude jurors.

Big difference.

Each side -- depending on the state and level of court -- gets a certain number of premptory challenges; that is, they can exclude N jurors without giving a reason.

After that, the only way to exclude a juror is to prove to the Judge that the juror is biased.
Your knowledge of statistics could use some enhancement. The response referring to poisson processes is a better view of things.

So take it off the banned list. Legalize it. Take the power & profits away from the criminal element. Stop wasting money sending otherwise perfectly normal people to prison for years for having a god damn plant. The whole reason cannabis is on the list in the first place is because Harry J Anslinger was a racist prick.

Ain't nobody hurting you by smoking pot. How many people drink every day and kill innocent people in car crashes? Nobody is OD'ing on pot either, given that it's physically impossible. Nobody is out committing robberies to get money to buy pot. More people have been killed by Uber's robot cars than will ever be killed by smoking pot on their couch at home.
This is Bizarro world for me. Until I read this article I couldn't conceive that government workers working too hard would be an issue. Not that we don't have government workers who have to work really hard in the USA. But that seems to be the exception and not the rule. I am more used to watching the reflection of a game of Solitaire off of workers glasses while dozens of people wait in line.

I get that it's apparently a problem there, but what are they doing right where more than half the government workforce are asking to be allowed to work late? Or are they just milking overtime pay? The latter would definitely fit much more comfortably into my experience.

Edit: "My experience" being running a small business for 7 years that required interacting with various local government employees from many different municipalities. The vast majority were very nice people, but my company (and my competitors) were run way more efficiently, and always using the latest technologies. I think it comes down to motivation and human nature. Sometimes they would casually do things that completely screwed over everyone that relied on them, in the worst places such things would be done on purpose for political reasons. The office just got asked to reduce expenses by 5%? Cut the hours for customer facing tasks by 50% so the public feels the pain and complains to the mayor.
I have a FT job, but I've maintained a website on S3 for a client for a few years now.

I charged quite a bit up front, and now charge a yearly maintenance fee.

Honestly, its best to focus on your FT job and not spread yourself too thin. Enjoy your time off or contribute to open source with your free time.

Actions shouldn't be considered within the context of what's normal? That sounds a bit like.....deflection.

I only just found out about these. What are they and how long have they been running?
This is so poignant I don't see why it's being downvoted.
I'll never forget going to Toys R Us and walking down the computer/video game aisle. It was vast. Wall-to-wall Atari, Commodore, Vectrex (!!) ... walls of just game boxes you could look over. Then pull a slip of paper out and walk to a literal Cage where you could get the real deal.

That place was magical to me as a kid. (1980s, if it isn't obvious.)
Isn't this just a Diaspora* clone or does it have any advantage? I am not convinced that this federation approach will truely take off more than the others… However, while a true p2p system without accounts on specific servers is more appealing, the HTTP-based federation content is easily accessible for non-participating users with a browser.
It's much, much worse than that, since that 37,461 deaths number includes all deaths, including motorcycle/Truck/SUV deaths, which have higher death rates than passenger cars, perhaps 5x-10x higher.

A proper comparison in this case is comparing passenger car death rates.

And then you need to factor in other conditions, such as the fact that weather was clean, and that you should be looking to compare pedestrian/bicyclist deaths, and you see that this incident already throws out wack the death rate for autonomous vehicles.
There is currently a lawsuit against Spotify in Quebec. Might be related.

Because premium subscriptions were charged automatically after a free first month. Spotify sent a mass email about this with the legal documents included.
Because treating people fairly is one of the requirements for many (not all) to sleep peacefully at night. And because it's the right thing to do, and keeps your Glassdoor ratings up.
Having just shutdown my laptop at 9:30 PM MST (on my chromebook now) I just realized I work like a South Korean. No one asked me to work like this today. I was literally thinking how I am creating my own work prison and then I saw this article. At least I'm not alone? Ugh.
I think we can all agree ycombinator is facilitating prostitution
Why would you want to increase the death rate by pushing more autonomous vehicles onto the road?
I'd upvote you to the top of the page if I could.
It was definitely fun to find dates and quirky people on there. I was finding it especially useful now that I'm in a new city and just looking to meet new people.
Excellent write up. You've put into words what I felt like but couldn't really express.
This is why I wish I had gotten into video game development rather than app development. Once the game is finished it is (for the most part) complete.
Facebook faces a reputational meltdown – What Zuckerberg should do
if the dye job is noticeable then it just looks like the person is stuck in the past and will amplify the ageism. It should be easier for women to dye their hair well (so that it is not noticed as such) because a) women of all ages changes their hair color, b) they are willing to shell out the big bucks for a professional, and c) they are less likely to have graying facial hair :{>
There is very little a MS in CS can teach you that a BS in CS with some free time and books can't pick up. Look at this list from UChicago: https://masters.cs.uchicago.edu/page/12-course-ms-specializa...

Basically your masters program is giving you a choice of 9-12 courses split between:

1. Algorithms .

2. Your choice of a primer in Java, C, Python or Swift .

3. Databases, Compilers, Networking, Comp Arch, Functional Programming OS, Distributed Systems .

4. IoS, Product Management, UX, Intro to Software
Engineering, Advanced C++, OOP, Android Dev, Web Dev
Etc. etc.

I really don't see anything on that list that is worth paying for a years worth of classes for. Half of that list you already take in undergrad, and the other 40% you should be able to pick up with a book and basic experience and not need a class.

Maybe 10% of those classes you would be at an advantage in the classroom?
I've also found switching keyboards often (just subtle differences mean your hands are doing different things) helps as well.
Missed connections seems to have moved to "Community". [edit: moved as in "CL took it out of personals and relocated it altogether", not that users repurposed an existing forum]
Even in your example, the barrier or entry is still so high — I can buy a very nice new x86 machine for $10k, instead of a 2 year old POWER system. I am interested in the POWER architecture, but not buy $10k worth of old hardware interested.
ActivityPub is only two years old though in its current form, and the previous ActivityPump protocol really wasn't used at all so it can be considered a new protocol in the grand scheme of things.
> How about a 75' TV you can carry around like a scroll.

It'd be a rather thick scroll. :)

The problem of break-ability again comes to mind.

The use case is niche. All the electronics for control still have to be there, so it isn't featherweight or anything, and it is not exactly pocket sized, and now the screen is really fragile.
Hydrogen fuel cells are electric and electric wasnt hard to imagine. Electric cars have been around since the 1880s.

It's more GNU Social with a UI that isn't clunky, so Twitter.

Diaspora* is more Google+ but without some of the stuff that people need in a social network like event management. True that isn't available in Mastodon either but it isn't really suited to the use cases of microblogging anyway.
Gil Pratt, who heads up Toyota's autonomous development initiative mentioned that we would need to drive 8.5 billion autonomous miles to be able to declare with 99% statistical certainty that autonomous vehicles are safer that human driven ones. Of course, as we are witnessing, great pains will be taken with every preventable injurious or fatal collision to ensure that sort of failure never happens again, so by the time we get to the 8 billionth mile the software and hardware will have improved considerably, rendering the early data moot.

One thing we can say about the woman killed the other day by an autonomous Uber, is that unlike the other ~40,000 killed on America's roads over the past year, her's was not in vain.

Every day that we delay the widespread deployment of this technology, it's another 100 or so people dead. Of course, the public is unlikely to see it that way. They see one death as a tragedy, but 40,000 is just a statistic, business as usual, nothing to get excited about.
genuinely curious how your organization managed to hire them
This is actually false. The average American worker today works more hours per year than a 14th century peasant (http://blogs.reuters.com/great-debate/2013/08/29/why-a-medie...). Hunter-gatherers only worked 2-3 hours per day.

Despite technology allowing us to work less, we work more. Yes we should be grateful of technological advancement, but too many people are unnecessarily depressed and suicidal, and it doesn't have to be this way.
>U.S. investigators identified Guccifer 2.0 as a particular GRU officer working out of the agency’s headquarters

No where in that do they mention IP address just that they identified him as a GRU officer who works at HQ in Moscow.
Please consider working only your alloted hours, as per your contract. It's very unheathly to work beyond 8 hours per day, maybe even 5-6 hours -- consider your health.

Guns removed from YT and reddit are totally different. They're corporations choosing to ban certain content from their own platform.

Variable-length arrays and the max() mess
Similarly, Dr. John Sarno's "The Mindbody Prescription" helped me after over a year of RSI. This happened early in my career, and I've been pain free for about 17 years now.
Agreed, some days I only do 4-6 so when I do days like this I feel like it balances out. Maybe I should start doing my own time sheets though. Working from home its really hard to tell. As for contract I am salary like most engineers.
> How long does it take to design and build a car factory, anyway?

On the order of:

5 years to design and build an all-new car.

2-3 for an all-new factory.

1 year to re-tool an existing factory.
You're right in that the sticker price is much, much higher. I'm surprised you were even available to find one. IBM tends to like to keep things secret until you reach out to them, for better or for worse. I would like to see some public power 9 benchmarks to compare to xeons instead of just marketing speak as well.

But I will say that your comment about $/MIPS isn't accurate. There are many people, including Oakridge national labs, who are using it because of the higher performance and v100 integration. Intel is obviously not too keen on letting Nvidia succeed.
I’ve increasingly found the characterization that most government employees are lazy or inefficient to be remarkably untrue.
