My guess is that it doesn't account for job title.

One of the articles below says:

>He attributes the earnings reversal overwhelmingly to one factor: education. For every two guys who graduate from college or get a higher degree, three women do.

So yeah, if you are sampling 3:2 women:men with college education, then what you say is true if and only if that is the distribution in reality. I don't think that baseline assumption is supported by the evidence [1]. In actuality, they've just identified that college educated women tend to move to cities for work in greater numbers than men. However, if you compared only women with college degrees to only men with college degrees, then the difference would reappear.

So, you are telling me that a person arrive to Google, broke the internet (by replacing the well behaved + with the annoying "") and then left to leave things worse than they were? Sad state of affairs...
You have it with ChromeOS 67. Docker without having to put in developer.
Check out the Bigger Pockets website. The 3rd party managers are called Property Managers. Make sure you look at reviews to find a good one, there are many out there that will end up costing you more than you save. :)
For the lazy, this would require an ongoing investment of just over $40,000 currently.
I think OP might be referring to the fact that Android kernels disable most functionality required to run most standard Linux container tech. AFAIK it's not possible to run Docker even on rooted devices if they are running a (close to) vanilla kernel, whereas you can run Docker just fine on Linux single board computers that run similar processors.
The scale sounds big, but isn't this kind of thing routine? I've had a line across the Channel that kept getting cut. You'd get this series of emails (more like a dozen):

- Cable ship sailing to site

- Cable spliced

Pretty annoying when it happens, but it seemed to me like there was a whole infrastructure to deal with cable snaps.
>We also learned about a disinformation campaign run by the Internet Research Agency (IRA) —
a Russian agency that has repeatedly acted deceptively and tried to manipulate people in the US,
Europe, and Russia. We found about 470 accounts and pages linked to the IRA, which generated
around 80,000 Facebook posts over about a two-year period.
Our best estimate is that approximately 126 million people may have been served content from a
Facebook Page associated with the IRA at some point during that period. On Instagram, where
our data on reach is not as complete, we found about 120,000 pieces of content, and estimate that
an additional 20 million people were likely served it.

This part seems to be rather interesting. The number of people who viewed the content created by IRA in general is appalling.
Right. I'm speaking somewhat from experience: the last two times I switched jobs, I took about six months off between them and lived off savings, enjoying the process of just having the full day to do whatever I wanted (sometimes writing code, sometimes just reading or playing video games or whatever). No job can offer that, and I can do this a lot more easily than I can negotiate even a part-time tech job. I am also as happy with my day job as with any other day job I can imagine, and I've sought out high-paying day jobs on purpose.
I believe the probability of people coming to your defense raises faster with fame.

Oh no, no, no, no. You're reading web things, you need it inside a browser. You middle click a link and it opens inside a new tab, just like that. Native clients and their embedded web views never work the way you expect them to be, and ugh, there's a link to something inside facebook and I'm not logged in... should I go back and right click -> "Open in browser", nah, forget it.

That's why I'm happy to rediscover the old reader. It is not only not a native app, it doesn't try to act like one.

I'll point out which question gives me nightmares, as the founder of a EU startup:

- the requirement to have a DPO. Based on the requirements for the DPO, no one in the company can fill the role (conflict of interest), so we must hire an employee or consultant (expensive either way for a small startup)

- one month to respond. That's a lot of informations to collect the first time, and I might have other fires to put out (or I have to be pro-active and have a prepared respond, which has the take the place of something else important to do)

- the sheer amount of informations to collect. In the age of plug and play solutions, that's a LOT of things to audit (Mailchimp, AWS, GA, Heroku, various Wordpress plugins, logging solution I don't even remember the name, just to name a few)

- tracking every single PI of a user. If your systems are not built for this, it's going to be lengthy. If you were created before the GDPR, they are probably not.

- tracking down the usage of those PI may be complicated depending of the expected scope and usage you do (fortunately for me, there is no ad nor data resell, so really only the scope is the problem)

- some process asked for have a serious implication you should have some and do some sort of things. This is not feasible for a small startup.

It boils down to: it takes time, and time is something I'd rather use for something else, and it also requires to do things that have huge fixed cost that the size of a small company can't absorb (at least not until there is a ready-made solution).

I define small startup as startups with less than 20 employees, that might have received Seed funding but not more. Those points might not all be applicable to a new startup created with GDPR in mind.
I'm kind of in the same boat, although in time I've gradually become less negative about it.

I, too, was wanting something that felt like a native peripheral but always found that it is a module you more or less have to hack a solution onto. I was also a bit disappointed as I bought it during the leap year promo (nice job, Leap Motion, nice job) mostly for the thought that the little block throwing demo was usable for me. Apparently, VR only. And that's what I found: it is meant only for the AR/VR space even though they positioned it for other spaces (at least, after Windows 8 died. They did try to demo start menu navigation via gesture).

That being said, I think the possibilities are there and I'd give strong consideration to it. I'd rather see them partner up with the Valves/HTCs/Googles/Microsofts of the world as getting into a common framework is going to be pretty important for their tech to really catch on.
Sounds more or less like that amount of people you'd invite to a wedding.

>But it’s clear now that we didn’t do enough to prevent these tools from being used for harm as
well. That goes for [...] data privacy. We didn’t take a broad enough view of our responsibility, and that
was a big mistake. It was my mistake, and I’m sorry.

I was going through some old news archives about Facebook and their privacy policies. I came across the dire EFF warning in December 2009 [1]:

>"The issue of privacy when it comes to Facebook apps such as those innocent-seeming quizzes has been well-publicized by our friends at the ACLU and was a major concern for the Canadian Privacy Commissioner, which concluded that app developers had far too much freedom to suck up users' personal data, including the data of Facebook users who don't use apps at all. Facebook previously offered a solution to users who didn't want their info being shared with app developers over the Facebook Platform every time a one of their friends added an app: users could select a privacy option telling Facebook to "not share any information about me through the Facebook API.""

Well, it turns out EFF was correct and accurately predicted the unethical scenario of Cambridge Analytica siphoning data from Facebook users who didn't even take their quiz.

The bullet points of "fixes" that MZ outlined don't really address the fundamental problem. Facebook's "data privacy" problem is not fixable if they have to ultimately run valuable ads against that data.

Generally it's understood that "passive income" on HN refers to income resulting from an initial investment of labor that continues to generate revenue with little to no additional labor input.

By the wider definition, yes, you are correct.

It was a very common hack when I was in school that, to call home, you'd make a person to person call and your parents would decline--saying the person you were calling for wasn't there--and then direct-dial you back.

Once you know the user's average/variation, you can normalize it in any way you want. If you think that the "average user experience" merits a 5, you can do that as well. The downside of course, is that the above-average drivers don't get any recognition at all for going the extra mile.

I suspect most developing areas without clean water supplies are simultaneously unable to afford buying bottled water. They're often drinking dirty water, which they may or may not treat.
Surprised at Zuckerberg/Facebook's response to all this. The cynical part of me says it's only due to the negative PR all this has generated but I hope this works out for better privacy for all those who continue to use Facebook.

I wonder if other tech companies will be called on to testify, Dorsey, Page, et. al.

This is something that should have been a day-1 feature, IMHO
> That would still make it worth tackling.

Why?

In my opinion, only if you can replace it with something better... E.g. speaking English is culturally formed, but so what?

I don't have kids yet, but I've thought a lot about how to raise any future children I might (well, want to) have. My current thinking is that I will raise them differently, boys and girls, according to what I see the most probably outcome (e.g. for each to be heterosexual). Sure, I might turn out to be wrong, but (1) you can't avoid putting some preconceptions in a child's mind (after all, that's what "raising children" means), and (2) as long as they can consciously choose a different path (e.g. "I'm actually gay, I'll optimize my life for that") I think that's mean-variance optimized choice.

It's like, well your kid could be Mozart but you screwed them completely because you taught them guitar, stupid you... but then, there's no way you could have known, and a guitar is probably still better than complete lack of music, so it's a good choice overall.
I tried The Old Reader as soon as it came up, but it was in an uncanny valley were it was not quite as good as Google's –or maybe I was just sad and feeling unappreciative– but recently I rediscovered it and became a paying user within the hour.

Especially considering that the oil filter in your car is good to tens of microns for tens of thousands of gallons and costs ~$5.

You'd think that if you're running an industrial plant (at a scale where multi-stage filters, centrifugal separation, etc, etc are economically viable) you'd be able to do a heck of a lot better than 10 100 micron particles per liter.

I think there are large differences in ability between doctors even within specialties, but most doctors meet a minimum level of competence because the requirements for med school effectively filter out people who are not intelligent and conscientious enough to become doctors.

If you don't think there are differences in skill between doctors just ask a friend or family member who is a doctor which doctors they would not recommend you see.
As an Indian citizen I would like to oppose this pseudo colonising attempt. EU is anyways a basket case bureaucracy and most member nations are considering leaving EU, Britain having left it already.

I see not reason and logic to the fact that nations who have not opted in into this be subjected to laws that are essentially created by no-skin-in-the-game bureaucrats.

Such attempts should be opposed at all costs.

> a user who gives everyone a 2 but occasionally gives their best friend a 5 will wind up having that "5" normalized to some astronomically great rating

You can just cap the max-value at a 5, to avoid someone getting a "astronomically great rating".

Rating normalization isn't meant to prevent rating-fraud, nor does it make the problem significantly better/worse than it currently is. But it will solve the problem of rating inflation.

Not to mention that once users know that their ratings are being normalized anyway, they won't feel the need to give everyone a 5-star rating.

An initial investment - that investment can be labor or it can be capital or it can be both.

In the same way you can say "work at Starbucks part time for a year and then invest 100% of that extra income into an index fund for passive income" rather than "work on a book for a year and collect book sales as passive income."
Content fingerprinting has been around for ages, yes. This is model fingerprinting.
I'm a heavy user of my shell history. Frequent creation and destruction of different concurrent shell sessions clobbers the history quite well until there's nothing really usable left. This resulted in some inertia to keep windows around.

zsh-histdb replaces the single-file ~/.zsh_history with an sqlite3-database - and this database is session aware. This way I can just have as many concurrent session as I want, and create / destroy shell sessions as much as I want and the shell history remains intact.

Today on That's Not What That Means, we discuss how presenting an ideologically-motivated simplistic alternative explanation for an effect without supporting evidence is not the same thing as unraveling a mystery, especially when the effect wasn't mysterious to start with, it's just that the accepted explanation was inconvenient from the perspective of justification of policy serving to reinforce the interests of the already rich.

That is, economists don't generally deny that increased competition via online shopping reduces consumer prices and that increasing penetration of such shopping reduces, to some extent, the rate of increase of those prices, i.e., inflation; OTOH, many of them have seen for a long time the actual low level of inflation compared to aggregate economic performance in the US as driven more by the fact that a historically large share of the returns of economic growth are being captured at the top of the income distribution, having little effect on consumer demand.

First mistake: going to culinary school with the hopes of being a chef at their own restaurant. I'm 3rd+ generation restaurant worker. Watch my mom go bankrupt twice opening her own places. Restaurants are a completely misunderstood industry because too many people forget it's a business first and "cooking with love" second.

Quick story: My best friend in culinary school already had a BA in education when she got into the field. She went the hotel route, got a masters in Hospitality and now manages food/bev at a large Boston hospital. She loves food and cooking, but she also realizes that it's a job first and that she can always do her fun stuff at home.

Working as a cook/chef can be a great career, but most people have no clue what the industry actually looks like when they start to gravitate towards it. I don't think this is unique to that industry, just something most career chefs recognize as part of what keeps the industry full of new bright eyed idiots to burn out after a few months and pay low wages.
