This is something I’ve been interested in for ages. I recently went to India and the first thing I Googled was “best books set in India” (answers: Shantaram, A Fine Balance, Midnight’s Children, God of Small Things). So definitely something I would use.

Some comments from me:

1. Needs to be much bigger. You currently have four books recommended for London, both fiction and non-fiction. But there are hundreds and hundreds of books set in London, which leads me on to ...

2. Needs to be curated. When I was searching for the best books set in India, I was looking for the most popular, critically-acclaimed, ‘important’ books, not just any old book set in India. Some sense of priority would be useful.

3. Needs to include more than just cities. Could you also include regions and countries, too? If you’re travelling in the Deep South, for example, you’ll want to be recommended things like Faulkner, Steinbeck, etc. even though these books aren’t always set in specific cities. (I think Faulkner set lots of his books in a fictional county somewhere in the Deep South).

4. UX. I don’t need photos of cities on the buttons. If this is a site that might be used by people on holiday = people with really slow internet, you might want to think about getting rid of needless graphics, or offering a low-bandwidth version. Again, to return to the India example, the Internet here (and lots of other places I’ve been) is woeful. Some services (e.g. Reddit, WhatsApp) do really well in those circumstances, others (e.g. Twitter) not so much.

Great idea, however. Looking forward to see how it grows!
> I usually buy laptops with i5 processors which is the perfect trade-off between performances and battery life

That's not... how that works. The "U" indicates a low-power part, while the "H" indicates a higher power part.

For example, the i7-8650U (the U is the important bit) uses 15W TDP: https://ark.intel.com/products/124968/Intel-Core-i7-8650U-Pr...

The i5-8400H uses 45W TDP: https://ark.intel.com/products/134877/Intel-Core-i5-8400H-Pr...

So the i7-8650U will have better power-usage than the i5. Heck, due to binning and Turbo (the "race to idle"), the i7-8650U likely will have better power-usage all around than the equivalent i5-U class.

The i3 / i5 / i7 is just a marketing trick by Intel. The "important" bit is the U, or H on the end of the chip number, telling you whether its a low-power, mid-power, or high-power version. The "U" chips tend to be around 2GHz base, while the "H" chips turbo to 4.5+ GHz and are almost desktop class power-usage.
Aren't all gender pay studies like this? When they say women earn 80% less than men they don't take into account qualifications or jobs.

The model numbers you're looking for are iX-8xxxG.

There is a market (not sure how big, but there is one) for modern-day luggables. They're more often called "desktop replacements", and "working without a power source" is really far down the list of requirements for them.

The common use case for these machines: a developer who needs a fast CPU and lots of RAM (and often a dedicated video card) coupled to a 15" or better yet a 17" screen and a ton of hard drive space. You may unplug to go to a meeting for an hour or two, but you'll be back to your desk (and docking station) pretty quickly. You're not working from a coffee shop or a couch because you need a real mouse and a real desk. You occasionally take your work computer home when you're the on-call resource that week.

In that case you don't need a big battery (or rather you need a big battery but not a lot of battery life). Five hours is more than good enough, but you can't trade that performance for anything you don't need.

I know because I have one sitting unused beside me (Thinkpad W530) from back in the days before I started traveling for work.

I am very skeptical about pretraining which seems to be the key point of Nanonets. Sure, it will help to work work better than initialization from random weights, but, you will always do better if you collect more data for your problem. This may be fine for problems which do not need optimal classification and fast performance, but I am struggling to see any use case for that.

If you mean giving the same amount of leave to both fathers and mothers, isn't that already the norm?

In the US it's nowhere close.

"The Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (FMLA) requires 12 weeks of unpaid leave annually for mothers of newborn or newly adopted children... "California is the first state to offer paid paternity leave weeks (six weeks, partial payment). In the rest of the US, paternity pay weeks are not offered (therefore neither paternity paid leave weeks)." [1]

Of course companies can offer what they want above the requirements, but even when it's offered it's very common for the paternity leave to lag far behind maternity leave. For instance, even for a company like Apple, which is generally pretty progressive,

"U.S. employees will now have a few more weeks of paid parental leave: Young Smith says expectant mothers can take up to four weeks before a delivery and upwards of 14 weeks after and expectant fathers (and other non-birth parents) can take six-week parental leaves." [2]

> defeat the purpose of laptops (working without a power source)?

I think for most people that's not the purpose of a laptop:

- 80% of the time people will work from a desk.
- It may be a hot desk
- They want to take calls with computer in front of them, but not from their desk (due to open plan offices)
- A couple of times a month they need to take something with a keyboard into a vendor/client meeting/presentation

A charitable reading of your post is that current AI, if judged against an average human personal assistant, would make many more "stupid" mistakes than the human. It would maybe forget less explicit stuff, but it's going to be a long time before AI stops us from going in a meeting having missed a button (or recognize which meetings are important enough to warrant a physical inspection of the participant). Or says, "hey before you commit to that meeting tomorrow, don't forget about this other thing that's maybe more important."

Anyone who's ever had a real personal assistant any good at the job would very quickly look at the best AI as the faint shadow of the real thing. And it's going to be that way for a while. Forever? Probably not, but maybe.

I'd argue that AI will sooner replace many legal and accounting jobs before it replaces good personal assistants. Just like how we thought chess is more difficult than walking and the exact opposite turned out to be true.
"Women (or whomever is the primary caregiver in a family or does more domestic labor at home) should be paid more for fewer hours in the workplace."

I think you have to work a bit more to support that assertion. I'm not opposed to the idea of some kind of compensation for home-makers, but putting that on employers seems backwards. Why should that not be a form of social support?

I use a laptop and never (as in never, ever ever) run it without the power cord. I need to use it in N places, but none of those places are without a power socket. I also use a big fat screen and a proper keyboard always so the quality of the keyboard, touchpad and screen is also of no consequence.

I just want a portable/luggable workstation, not a laptop.
I don't think you can justify your position "these young women were better prepared and organised than their male counterpart in their 20's".

You say that women in their 20s are better at something than men in their 20s. I believe you know this is indefensible and if you would say the reverse you would get kicked out of your job.
I guess the company expected the products to market themselves.
You are correct. Most of us are "on a budget" when we travel in the sense that we have certain price ranges in mind even if we tend to prioritize saving time over $$ and stay in fairly nice places. Budget travel or traveling on a budget carries the implication that you're looking for cheaper options like buses, hostels, free attractions, no-frills airlines, etc. Think the original Lonely Planet demographic (though not any longer).
It would be an interesting experiment. Has it been done before? That could lead to some unpleasant things:

* A lot of unavoidable angst as people of less worth to the business are proven to be paid less in no uncertain terms.
* More internal strife as people jockey for identifiable rank within the organization based upon their salaries. "Why is Sue paid $10k more than I am? Sue wasn't at her desk all week last week while I was here busting my butt."
* Eventually, many managers and organizations would just sidestep the battle by paying everyone the same thing based upon easy-to-identify metrics like seniority. As a result, the people with more value to the business will find jobs at companies that pay them according to a better measure of their bottom-line worth. With no one left but the lowest-common-denominator employees, the company flounders and fails.
I almost never use my laptop without a power source: to me, it is mostly a transportable workstation with a built-in UPS. I don't know how large that market segment is, but I would say that it is what laptops with full-sized keyboard including numeric pad, accordingly large screen and components chosen obliviously to power consumption are for.
Because people don't care about quality, only cheap prices. Audiophile/Videophile market is tiny in comparison. The general public is happy if they can see the picture, and hear the sound.
You could always set up a second account to dig more into another instance.

> It's not related to C++ or C++ features at all, it's simply that in this case the version of the compiler supporting newer C++ features, wasn't compatible with the rest of the system.

But it is related to C++. When Go releases an update, I can grab the new compiler and just compile my stuff and the resulting binaries have very little dependency on the runtime (I may need to use the right libc or libssl version, but that's a job for Docker).

"But that's only because Go bakes the runtime into the binary!" - Exactly. - "Okay, that may make stuff easier, but it has huge disadvantages!" - I'm aware. The point is that the "system yak shaving" (as the submission calls it) is very much related to C++ and its features and how C++ compilers implement these.
I’m speaking on the level of principle, not implementation. There are a variety of ways you could implement this, but I think that is a secondary question to the basic principle that donestic labor exists, is socially necessary, and is, unjustly, not compensated financially. Most people in this debate, even left-leaning people, don’t acknowledge that.
It's the result of an internal monologue that goes something like, "I want to do X, and the best way to do it is to use this spiffy new feature Y, but in order to access that I need to upgrade P and Q and R, and while I'm at it I may as well also take care of A and B and C..." and at the end of this process you find yourself shaving a yak, having completely forgotten about what it was you originally set out to do.

I did do a show Hn earlier this week, but it seemed very inefficient to put people through a page that gets them to sign up to create their own documents, I just decided to annotate documents that interest me and post them here for other like-minded people. (Believe it or not, annotating this took three days.)

Also, you're right about the chat box being annoying I will probably remove it from that page.

If there are specific tips for making the presentation more straight forward and honest, I'm all ears.

Why the World Needs More Apps Built on IPFS
DMZ Plus doesn't bridge - it just fakes it by essentially 1:1 NAT'ing a public IP to your router.

You are still using it's internal routing and NAT tables, which to be charitable are problematic. You also lose the ability to do ipv6 - not that AT&T's ipv6 implementation is worth even using at this point.

I just moved from Comcast to AT&T gige and the speeds are certainly great - but this CPE (and horrible v6 even if it worked) is seriously making me reconsider.

Report: 9 Cryptocurrency Hedge Funds Have Closed in 2018 – CoinDesk
To be more specific, RFC 1065 states its use of the subtree that was initially held by the U.S. National Bureau of Standards. The NBS transferred the subtree to DoD, which had not stated how it intended to manage it. Thus, the DoD might have chosen a different value for the last digit of the internet subtree, but that's all.

This isn't really hijacking, although it does seem a bit haphazard. Considering the "official" handling of the subtree transfer, I suspect that the DoD did accept the decision after the RFC was submitted as a draft, with the RFC just not updated to reflect this.

30 years later, I don't think anyone cares about OIDs.

There’s a lot of things that are irrational to an employer, ie providing health insurance or limiting the hours their employees work. Fortunately labor laws exist and are enforced. And just to emphasize, I said the primary caregiver, who is usually but not slways a woman.
> Society needs both nurses and engineers.

Yes. And if more people want to become engineers, and if becoming an engineer is easier, then engineers will end up getting less money than nurses.

I mean... the more fun a job is, the more people will want to do it despite getting little money, right?

> In addition, women are usually the primary caregiver and disproportionately spend more time doing domestic labour (raising children, taking care of the home) which they are not compensated financially for.

I recall reading some statistics that (in germany) 80% of domestic spending is done by women. Seems about right.

The first part is kind of baffling. I'm not even sure what is trying to be said there. English as a second language?

The second one if actually wrong unless something changed very recently, PHP is not JIT compiled (at least not to machine code). It is a bytecode VM. I remember the discussion came up and optimizing the byte code was actually improved performance more than proof of concept JIT did for common PHP use cases.

PHP 8 is supposed to have a JIT I believe.

I dunno about that. There are multiple issues with routing and DNS that are controlled by the docker daemon. Ever tried getting ipv6 working correctly? You end up hitting a whole host of issues that lead straight back to dockerd.
That makes sense. Thanks for explaining. They really just mean a ledger. Doesn't one lose the trust if the ledger is not distributed and verified by outsiders?
