I'm currently trying to hire cloud solution architects, including in Bangalore. I have had >2000 applicants for the role. About 15 made it through resume & phone screens. I have found 1 so far that could make it through onsite interviews. This is just one data point from the opposite POV: especially in tech, it's extremely hard to find qualified people at the time and place you need them, especially if you need specialists.

It seems like Taleb et al captured the nebulous fears many people have around GMOs fairly rigorously with the "Precautionary Principle"[1]. I see some people attempt to refute that paper with specific evidence of safety for some GMOs, but have not seen a work that deals fundamentally with section "X"; which or how GMOs can be sufficiently "non-global".

[1]https://arxiv.org/pdf/1410.5787.pdf
> The main issues I have with GMO is the patenting of crops, specifically those that are introduced to third world countries which are typically sterile, causing the farmers to have an ongoing dependence/obligation to the patent holders.

Incidentally, this is also the solution to one of the major criticisms of GMO plants: in the event of significant cross-pollination, the GMO plants won't be viable.

> Probably an even greater problem is crop resilience - yes, many crops will give far greater yield when given ideal conditions, but by reducing diversity within the same species makes them more vulnerable to specific diseases.

We already massively reduce diversity in agricultural crops. This is not a problem specific to, or even exacerbated by, GMO crops.

> In nature, there is always some % of a crop that's resistant to a disease, that diversity is removed when all the crops are essentially identical.

Diversity is doing exactly piss-all for the hundreds of millions of conifers in California that have been killed by bark beetles.

Put an end to GitHub graveyards – Find a sales partner for your project
If you're a programmer like me, you probably have a github graveyard of your own filled with inspired projects you envisioned being "the next best thing" that will make you rich.

Somewhere along the line, you realized that the one-man (or one-woman) show is a steep uphill climb and your inspiration slowly fades.

If you:
- Love to build but don't have time to sell
- If you want to build products, sit back, and watch the money flow in
- If you are about to take down your servers and add to your graveyard

My next project might interest you.

The idea is:
Post your side projects. Connect with someone interested in selling. You build. They sell. Split the profits or do it for the love of the game. Get some traction for your side project by finding a seller willing to go out and sell your project. You can both make a good chunk of change on the side.

PUT AN END TO GITHUB GRAVEYARDS. GET PAID FOR YOUR WORK!

I'd love some feedback. If you're interested, I'll have an MVP up in a week or so. Let me know if you'd like to connect with me to help out, give feedback, or tell me what a stupid idea this is!
>2) Yes. Half or more of the applications I've reviewed are totally unqualified. Either they ignored the requirements or fudge it and flop on the interview.

Common advice is that job posters put insane requirements on their posting because they don't really expect an entry level applicant to have 15 years experience in HTML5, Joomla, C++14, Bootstrap, Hypercard, Quechua, nuclear physics, and Go, just a little bit of exposure to half of them. It's not surprising that unreasonably underqualified people respond to job postings with unreasonably high expectations, and that all job postings end up not being taken seriously.
A natural nutation may be dangerous. For example the difference between the sweet and bitter almonds is a single gen. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Almond#Sweet_and_bitter_almond...

In particular:

> The acute oral lethal dose of cyanide for adult humans is reported to be 0.5–3.5 mg/kg (0.2–1.6 mg/lb) of body weight (approximately 50 bitter almonds), whereas for children, consuming 5–10 bitter almonds may be fatal.

The mutation that makes the bitter almonds produce cyanide is very old, totally natural and dangerous. It was mutated at least 300 million yeas ago, before the almond became a different plant than peach and cherry and other similar plants. Probably to make the animals avoid the plant and kernels.

> You assume that they all want to scale.

If they've taken outside investment based on a business plan of scaling, then it doesn't matter whether they want to scale. They either need to do it, or hand it over to someone who will.

I love nicely sized companies that are profitable and long term viable without the need to chasing after constant growth, but you only get to do that if the investors agreed to it. That's much easier when the investors are just the founders.

That's really neat. I love the idea of doing as much as possible from text-based UIs, especially using Emacs.

I see this is built on top of Emacs, but it looks like it's entirely custom. It would be interesting to build something like this integrating with standard Emacs features. For example, merge requests could show up in an orgmode agenda list, and reviewing the merge request could be done through a layer on top of magit. You could also go a step further and offer an orgmode-like interface for working with tickets/issues.

Outside of the text-based UI world, GitLab has a neat feature called Review Apps [0] that lets you preview branches/merge requests for web projects, but this takes things a step further by letting you make changes and run locally.

I was also a recruiter for a while and when hiring I am always amazed at the absolute dismal amount of effort given when people apply for good jobs. Hiring is hard, someone with the right skill set will have a terrible mentality, hiring for the mentality is extremely tricky and can lead you down the road of groupthink if you're not careful. I'm still amazed how entirely incompetent people rise to managerial levels on who they know but its very, very hard to break into even with a modicum of talent.
Yes you can get a lot of data from ODB. I use a bluetooth OBD reader and Torque Pro to get data, view fault codes, reset them, etc. I haven't used it to get historical data but I think it's doable as you mentioned.

LinkedIn offers a similar product, which they call "Contact Targeting" with data integration. From https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/85809?lang=en:

> Contact targeting is a LinkedIn Marketing Solutions feature that allows advertisers to upload lists of contacts to include as part of their target audience for ad campaigns. If you have already interacted with a company and provided them with your contact information (e.g. to sign-up for a newsletter or webinar), they may include you in a target audience for a LinkedIn ad campaign using contact targeting.

It's part of "Matched Audiences": https://www.linkedin.com/help/linkedin/answer/81195

Twitter's rough equivalent is called "Tailored Audiences," though as far as I know, it relies only on hashed email addresses and device IDs uploaded directly by the advertiser, not data appending companies: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/ads/audiences/overview

TechCrunch doesn't say exactly what part of Facebook's product will be rolled back - uploading any hashed user lists? hashed user targeting only when done by third-party data appenders? only when based on offline events? - so it's hard to tell how far Facebook is going.
Facebook policies are very sneaky. Rather than defaulting them to something restrictive, their defaults are very permissive.

I would not be surprised if this thing is undone later.
It's probably influenced greatly by industry and region.

The entry level job market is paradoxically the hardest due to the competition and limited opportunity to differentiate.

My first three job searches out of college required several months with 150-200 applications each, and I was an ivy league grad with a finance degree.

It was really tough to get an interview without knowing anyone. I initially tried limiting my search to positions and companies I was passionate about via career websites, but my hit rate of even getting a response was ~5%, so I realized I needed to up the number of applications to get a reasonable pipeline of opportunities.

Thankfully I've passed that point in my career and have specialized, so my last two positions have been through recruiters that approached me. I won't forget how stressful the early career can be though.

I hesitate to say this because I dont entirely grasp it at the moment but I think when electrons are travelling parallel to each other they can stop repelling... their repulsive force is overtly effected by their relative movement, as well as their position and charge - due to how charges in motion modify and follow the magnetic field.
Can you please elaborate? Honestly, I'm interested to hear how anyone with such a low level of technical skill managed to get anyone to believe they were anything more than a junior. It also interests me because recently I've had a number of recruiters try to convince me that I'm a senior just because I've been programming for a living for 12 years. I'm honest enough with myself to admit that although I've used several languages during that time the jobs were all similar, freelance/sole developer CRUD jobs which didn't really challenge me so there was no continuouse progression technically. Sometimes testing was an afterthought so on that basis I wouldn't even qualify as mid-level. The thing is that "senior" means something completely different to a recruiter and maybe also to a manager?
Is the fox guarding the (non-GMO) hen house? "Testing for GMO products is currently voluntary," according to an FDA spokeswoman. "Although the consultation process is voluntary, compliance with the law is mandatory; it is the manufacturer's responsibility to ensure that the food products it offers for sale are safe and otherwise comply with applicable requirements," the spokeswoman said in a statement to ABC News.[1]

What has the FDA really "rigorously thought" about if they aren't testing?

That's such an odd sentiment, as if Google/Alphabet didn't become one of the world's current dominant and most influential companies because of its success with search and the search index. As if web search itself didn't effect major societal change.
You know how Facebook keeps saying "we never sell your data"? It was bartering it with data brokers all this time.

The only reason they're even taking this step is because they know there are many other companies that could get just as much if not more data about its users as Cambridge Analytica did from the data brokers that partnered with Facebook.

This would be true especially now that the "cat is out of the bag" so potentially many other malicious groups/rival states could be trying to do the same thing as CA did.

Facebook simply saw the inevitable: Cambridge Analytica multiplied by 100 in its future.

But one question remains: has Facebook made sure that the data brokers deleted all of the FB data, and did they just ask them to "certify" this, as they did with CA in 2015, or did FB audit these companies? (as Zuckerberg committed to do recently with all the companies they suspect of abusing its policies?) Did FB audit Palantir, too, and its use of Cambridge Analytica's data?

I have noticed that, as HN becomes more popular, the "variety" of submissions making it to the top has definitely widened since my lurking years. I just chalk it up to a more diverse audience as time goes on. I'm not sure much can be done when the content is (for the most part) user curated.
This is the major issue that prevents me from self-identifying as a progressive. The arguments are strikingly similar to arguments over vaccines causing autism; no matter how many times you debunk the myths and fantasies and throw facts at the irrational fears, progressives just keep coming back to the position that "GMOs are scary".

And, like anti-vaxxers, this has a real negative impact on human and ecological health.

I wish there was some kind of "yay, science!" political movement that would advocate for applying science in ways intended to improve human health and happiness in both the short and long term (which would include funding further GMO research).
This sounds like vague hand waving to me.

What direct experience do you have with this to justify that claim?

Obviously sometimes people brought in are nothing more than sacks of potatoes that make noises, but I think its insulting to the intelligence of everyone involved to believe even a significant proportion of people fall into that category.

It's just a different set of skills to the ones for 'technical founder' and involve things like... organising, collaborating, compromising and socializing... you know, grown up things that leaders are expected to be able to do without screwing up.

This woman completely catches what my college experiences were for me. Great read. From all the data I've seen poverty level is the biggest factor that determines your future potential with race right behind, one would think that we would try to make opportunity the main goal in an advanced society. Not everyone will or wants to be financially successful but when the two things that weigh heaviest on where you end up are where you start financially and what color/gender you are that's not a sustainable or fair system.
Facebook is still keeping this. If the advertiser provides your info to Facebook they can target you. They are getting rid of the ability to target you based on data Facebook purchases from third parties - e.g. you buy something in a Sephora store, Facebook buys transaction info from your bank/visa/"brokers" and then tags you as "bought beauty in last 30 days", then a brand targets that tag and you see an ad you wouldn't have seen otherwise.

And yes, there's a specific Facebook targeting category for "bought beauty last 30 days", or was before this change.
You can subtract one. I'm not on it anymore.

From what I understand of MOND, the less attraction to visible mass (as you would expect from a "ultra diffuse" galaxy like this), the smaller the effect should be. So MOND predicts the effect should be relatively small for this galaxy.

Further, in the paper that the OP references they do a calculation and get odds of something around 1/20 that a galaxy like this will exist if MOND is correct.

The interesting part is that for some reason they interpret that as ruling out MOND, while meanwhile saying "no one has any idea how this thing can exist if the dark matter theory is right". I would think "no idea how it can exist" should correspond to odds less than 1/20.
obviously not that critically concerned if leaking sensitive information like this was required by the spec as drafted, and has remained uncorrected.
And it needlessly requires Javascript to do things other services don't need Javascript to do. That's not a good plan.

One's IP address should be detectable to at least some degree with data from the packets making the request for the webpage. Some of this is remedied with what appears to be duplicative information further down the page.

DNS Address detection is done better by https://dnsleaktest.com/.

Geolocation detection is likely done by looking up what geolocation is paired with one's IP (and sometimes this data is wrong), so there's no real need for Javascript here either. It's not as if the requesting computer should supply this information, else it becomes even more easily spoofed. Some of this is remedied with what appears to be duplicative information further down the page.

Torrent detection is also needlessly JS-driven, and done better at http://dev.cbcdn.com/ipmagnet/.

There are also some grammar errors confusing singular and plural in the text at the bottom of the page.
I went through the fashion history exhibit right after this. If this were done with the scale and attention of the fashion history exhibit, that would be a great time. I think a non-technical audience understandably has a hard time grasping the art in some of these things, but the fashion exhibit used chronology and categorization to break things down. Thinking Machines might benefit from thoughtful presentation like that.
Ask HN: Discourse vs.?
We're moving a decent sized forum (very specific niche, very happy membership who don't want to move to a subreddit or FB group) off vBulletin 4. 750m posts or so, couple thousand active users, and very image heavy (lots of attachments, think 'DIY projects with build logs' but for a niche hobby).

I like Discourse. I've used it for small private forums and support forums. Before I automatically just go with Discourse, is there anything else out there?

Flat discussion threads, good handling of image attachments (preferably allowing AWS back-end for the file storage), and preferably open-source.
Send them an email (hn@ycombinator.com? not sure, on mobile, check site), as they claim to only see comments like this by chance.
