To clarify what I think you mean, the P/E ratio is rising and is now above historical averages for the S&P 500 dataset. The only times in the past where this was true was in the bubble days of the late 90s and mid 2000s. The takeaway is that stock prices are not actually supported by the underlying earnings gains, even if earnings are going up - this is evidence of an overheated market.

> I've been running Linux for 20 years and I'm not willing to put up with these problems on my workstation. It seems like it must be a very small minority that can.

What makes you think everyone faces the same issues as you? Maybe the problem is your specific hardware? I've been running linux based distros as my daily driver for over 10 years and literally never had any of the issues you described. Never had issues with power management, wifi always worked out of the box on all distros I've tried and suspend/resume always worked flawlessly. If you want a laptop that works well under linux, buy a thinkpad or a dell developer edition laptop.
Whooo... that 4kb is amazing! Very dark, very different from the usual technical performances, especially in that category!

When I worked at Yahoo, all personal machines were given a simple two-dictionary-word name. e.g. My desktop was sawbeauty. I always thought this was pretty elegant. All the names were pretty short. There was minimal ambiguity. And it scaled really well.
GDPR is the Sarbanes-Oxley of data privacy. It was intended to stop the large abusers but it just stifled small companies, giving large companies even more of a protective advantage. Omar size fits all rules make no sense.
Ethernet ports are still a pain to not have for us. I have staff that travel to sites and need to test hard lines to see if they are live and most of them forget their dongle from time to time. Life was easier when they had built in ports. I do realize for the average user though this is a non-issue.
Well, maybe, as long as you make sure you the bulls and cows are separated.

Good idea, although we do have our own recruiting team that has emails created for that purpose, but I am not part of that team. I am a software engineer who is looking for new awesome peeps to work with :) (I was also hoping my Karma + longevity in hacker news would give me some cred, but I guess that didn't work hah)
> This is no surprise when black women are not employed in any significant numbers at Google. Not only are African Americans underemployed at Google, Facebook, Snapchat and other popular technology companies as computer programmers, but also jobs that could employ the expertise of people who understand the ramifications of racist and sexist stereotyping and misrepresentation and that require undergraduate and advanced degrees in ethnic, Black/African American, women and gender, American Indian, or Asian American studies do not exist.

> We need people designing technologies for society to have training and an education on the histories of marginalized people, at a minimum, and we need them working alongside people with rigorous training and preparation from the social sciences and humanities. To design technology for people, without a detailed and rigorous study of people and communities, makes for the many kinds of egregious tech designs we see that come at the expense of people of color and women.

So perhaps not a direct call to hire minorities, but a direct call to hire people versed in identity politics and various non-white studies.

The Springfield musket has probably been responsible for roughly about as many deaths as the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki; but I suppose the nuclear weapons have more shock and awe to them.

Still, suffice to say, we've been slaughtering each other quite capably despite the level of technology we've been at.
Three weeks no tobacco. Stepping down nicotine today. I don’t like vaping much. But it has made it much easier to ramp down.

I still want a cigarette every once in a while, but I think that’s going to pass in the next month or two. At least enough for me to quit the vape as well.

I’d never recommend one to a nonsmoker. But, for me, it has been an effective way out of a vice. If anyone wants out, it has been working for me. Definitely worth considering.

Does it feel, though, like Apple is neglecting MacOS in favor of IOS recently? iPhones and iPads seem to be marching forward while desktops and laptops seem a bit stagnant.

They gave up the server line entirely, and the "pro" moniker seems to not mean what it meant in the past. Even the super popular Mac mini seems to be lacking investment.

It would be interesting to see an internal view of growth of investment dollars going into MacOS/desktop/laptop vs the tablets and phones. The recent bugs and vulnerabilities certainly seem to point at some neglect.
Every time I make a pro bitcoin or pro blockchain comment on HN I get downvoted to hell. So much for open minds here. Seems people are very touchy feely on politics, blockchain or anything else against the grain of the majority.

Why is it annoying? Isn't it easy to tell the IP address?
How is doing small business accounting on an iPad, with a keyboard, any different that doing small business accounting on a Surface? You tap on the screen where you want to put data and type. Also, when using FreshBooks, which is what my comment was about, once you set up your customers, line items, and rates, creating an invoice involves about five taps and maybe typing in the number of hours/quantity, if it differs from the default of 1. That's it. I'm not sure how Windows could possibly make that any easier.

One shop I worked at briefly went with "female serial killers" for their naming convention. So you can just imagine the type that worked there.
Why? What do they lose? Equifax for example is doing just fine. They don’t feel the pain, we do.
An aside re: Yahoo -- Somewhere I have my website logs from the 1995-96 timeframe. I'll have to try to dig 'em up. I remember the day the site got listed on Yahoo, however. I got hits from machines with names like "scabies.yahoo.com", "ratbastard.yahoo.com", and "srinija.yahoo.com". There were some others, but I can't remember them (scurvy, maybe?). (I remember reading the Wired article about Yahoo in '96, seeing the name "Srinija Srinivasan", and figuring out what that last hostname meant.)
> It’s likely that any MacBook bound Apple CPU won’t have such a limitation and will be able to run much faster as a result.

Geekbench is based on the unthrottled peak performance of the CPU. Increasing the TDP headroom eliminates throttling but Geekbench doesn't measure throttling.

You can perhaps increase performance by overclocking but this requires the CPU to be designed for higher frequencies. AMD's Ryzen CPUs usually top out at around 4 GHz. Intel's CPU can be overclocked up to 5 GHz. The maximum clock speed is limited by the slowest component of the CPU. If the slowest operation takes 0.25 nanoseconds to complete this limits your frequency to 4GHz. If Apple had enough foresight to design their chips with this in mind then maybe but in reality they probably optimized the chip entirely for mobile TDPs.
Depends how you mean that; I would rather a machine be named prod-app-web-7 than af74b9c. At least mark the cattle by breed!
The concurrent.futures module handles exceptions well, waiting to raise them until you call ``future.result``.

Or did I misunderstand the problem?
In which Tolkien language do you select the names?
The Japanese lab I was at name all the machines by Pokemon names. we get to pick which Pokemon we want.
The unemployment numbers are very thorough and accurate and also irrelevant to this thread. The BLS tracks everything very carefully. The so-called headline unemployment is not intended as a comprehensive statistic, but rather an indicator that has been very historically consistent. There's a zillion other measure of employment that all tend to move in formation with headline unemployment.

In terms of "self-sufficiency" the laggard of the past few decades has been wages which is largely attributable to fiscal policy placing a premium on investment instead of production, not economic output.
Only if you know the periodic table blind, but this could be a good approach to actually learn it. I'm just not that sure many people want to learn chemistry while administering the IT.
Apple couldn't have started digging their own grave soon enough. Now all that's left to do is for Microsoft to play its end game - provide a bridge for NT/Win32 apps to run atop Linux, and spend the next couple of years bolting/porting/reinventing their new UI on a rock solid server OS - Linux, which will soon become a rock solid desktop OS.

Bye bye Apple. Nice to have known you. Game over-Linux wins, we all win. No more proprietary OS.
Remembering the number of higher elements is a pain so if you do this in lieu of DNS it's not as clever as it first seems. I too had a co-worker who loved this naming scheme and I thought it was great, just not in lieu of having a name resolution scheme that's not "quick what number is strontium"
Please tell me you're using Technetium for something special.

not a smoker, but asked a lot of smokers on why they smoke.

reasons:

1). exclusive social 'networks' - see smokers gathered during 'smoking breaks'

2). looks cool

seriously, someone should make a e-cigarette that looks exactly like a cigar...

ps: as for all those non-smokers, pretend to cough when someone is smoking on public space. tell them it looks shit when someone smokes.
When I was at Google I named my machine Myriad. No one seemed to appreciate the subtlety. ;-)
Replying here because this matched my train of thought well.

I'm actually really curious to know if anyone has first-hand knowledge of a tinkerer (by this blog's definition) getting their work published.

As the GP said, understanding the rules is one thing, but demonstrating their understanding is another. And as you said, matching the style seems to be more important than the value of work that is demonstrated.

I see the value in matching terms, jargon, style etc just so the reviewers can standardize their thought processes. But as someone who's been a tinkerer for ages now it's hard to change styles for no immediate benefit.

Maybe some examples will inspire me to try :)
The 7 Best Prototyping Tools for UI and UX Designers in 2018
Do you offer visas?
Hey all! Earlier this year, I launched a parody ICO called PonziCoin (http://ponzicoin.co), and I found that it was fairly difficult to easily accept Ethereum on a site and support all the major wallets (hardware, web, mobile) so I decided to make Etherglade. It's a drop-in UI that you should be able to add to your site in less than 5 minutes and start accepting Ethereum - it even supports smart contracts! In the future, I also hope to add features to make interacting with Ethereum and smart contracts easier for the average person.

I would love any feedback, comments, or questions :)

Side Note: Don't start a pyramid scheme, even if you explicitly state that it is a pyramid scheme and it's clearly a parody. It turns out a significant amount of people will still put a significant amount of money in
Can you spell/smell Microsoft Linux? Cause I can. :)

Court Says PACER System Is Illegally Using Fees
I am far from an expert in these matters so I can only quote others who seem to know more.

Peter Schiff sounds like a gold salesman at times (he is afaik), but he makes the argument that rather than fixing the issues that caused the bubble that led to the Great Recession, the Fed and stimulus managed to only make it bigger. Now the market is burning itself up with expectations of economic growth under Republicans, but all they are doing is growing the deficit and putting the US deeper into a hole that it can never dig itself out of. Soon the US will be unable to acquire more debt and we'll do another round of quantitative easing, which could spiral into hyperinflation as we're forced to repay our debt by printing money. This will be terrible for the US because we've become a nation of debtors and consumers. He believes the coming recession will be worse than 2008 and that we are in the largest bubble the US has ever experienced, possibly never having even escaped the 2008 recession in the first place.

He believes all this will come due before the end of Trump's term, probably within a year or two. I've heard other famous investors say a recession is likely to begin next year.

These might not be in order of when he spoke:

I've always been a b guy, and it's helped me understand how things work. One time, I joined a company, and two weeks after joining, poking around with a weird custom machine setup, I found that the machine was running a world-writable batch file as SYSTEM upon boot. Who knows how long this huge gaping security hole would have gone unnoticed if I hadn't felt compelled to poke around with Cygwin?

> a few example images that were set very very small, often ~2cm and usually in a grid

Journals sometimes require the authors to pay "page charges" of sometimes hundreds of dollars per page. I know of some (relatively high impact) journals in image processing related fields that require this. If the author is not working under a grant, then there's not much incentive to add to the page length.

Of course, this is insane that this is even a thing in the digital era, and it feels very mobbish. Idk. Maybe there's valid reason that I'm not aware.
