Amen to that stupid poem. I'm a USA born white girl, and that poem broke me. I tried to read it aloud and got part way through before my tongue / brain made me give up. It's evil.

Can you say squirrel? My trick with this word is to use different words. Start with the word "whirl". Repeat this word a couple of times to get your mouth around it. Then say the "sch" from the word "school". "Sch"... + ..."Whirl", "Sch".. + .."Whirl", "Sch". + ."Whirl", "Sch" + "Whirl", "Sch" "Whirl", "Sch-Whirl", ""SchWhirl". Looks horrible typed but it works on the tongue. Just need to get that sound glide exiting "sch" into "whirl". If you end the "sch" with your lips pursed in anticipation for the "oo" sounds in school, it sets you up for the "wh".

Facebook Admits 'Enforcement Error' in How It Handled Content from Pro-Trump Duo
Similar scenario that me and my family had with some of our friends and their children.
The parents of my friends had bought an annoying toy for the children of my friends - a duck that sang an annoying tune.
At a New Year’s Eve party at their house our friend gave the duck to one of our children. I promptly hid it behind the TV. A few months later they found it.
As they are friends we only see once or twice a year, there followed a few years of hiding it with each other when we got together for holidays etc.
For example I hid it in their car one camping trip, they left it on our doorstep after they had visited one time.
Understanding TypeScript’s type notation
Actually, that's not what parent comment meant. By Taiwanese he meant the Taiwanese Hokkien dialect, which is what is spoken by many Taiwanese at home that is mutually unintelligible from Mandarin. It has words that do not correspond neatly to Mandarin or classical Chinese, and so historically, writers have invented characters specifically to write Min languages.

It's unfortunate that awareness of the many Chinese dialects/languages is pretty poor in the Anglosphere, and parent comment could be clearer with what he meant by Taiwanese. It was obvious to me that it was Hokkien that he was referring to, but that is only by virtue of me having familiarity in the matter.

It's irrational to believe that you're more likely to be correct in that assessment than any other person who makes a bet on a specific stock.
I dont look at the situation as charitably. They raised $2,571,262 (479% funded) and spent more than half of it on Sailfish, while running out of funds such that they never shipped the tablets.

The tablets themselves were manufactured by their Chinese partner and even sold on third party Chinese websites. Funders never got their tablets, but other customers were able to buy the same tablets for below what Jolla had sold them.

Jolla was accepting orders until the very end before they decided to come out and cancel the whole tablet effort.

They have since raised over 12M dollars but ostensibly that is not enough to repay the 2.5M they raised initially.

I have no insights into their engineering or technology since I never got to use their product, but as far as business practices go they have constantly scraped the bottom of the barrel.

If you have some spare cycles go check out the comments on the indiegogo page (https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/jolla-tablet-world-s-firs...)

EDIT - https://reviewjolla.blogspot.com/2017/06/financial-news-joll... claims they have raised 70M USD.
It's really cool how advanced the Austronesians were in maritime navigation! I like to imagine that if history went down a slightly different path, we would be talking about Austronesian imperialism!
Campaign donations are the only logical explanation for a government employee, of all people, giving such a retarded statement. Why would it be better for citizens to not know their taxes, while the government clearly does know (or else how could they verify), and then have the citizen go through a confusing-as-fuck, detailed process before finally coming back to the government with their best guess in amount due?

I can see where cases like business expenses may still have to be itemized by the citizen, but for someone with just a W2 (and maybe an IRA) getting an itemized bill from the government would be so much more convenient (as some countries in Europe do) rather than going through all the paperwork associated with taxes. The level of understanding required to correctly file taxes is also a huge burden on all the people who are young, poor, uneducated, or immigrants (which is why even online filing with TurboTax is still not easy). No wonder why there are so many tax preparation offices in the cities from companies like H&R Block ready to suck up all their refunds....

This is a pretty odd statement. Care to explain why?
I'm not going to dig up your earlier post, but discussing up- and down votes like you're doing here is an anti pattern on HN. I think that if you look objectively at your comment, you'll find that it doesn't contribute anything to the discussion, and has the potential to distract from it. Most likely that's why you've been down voted here.
I guess the question then is: why bother?

Unfortunately no. Not all of us are thrilled about a life of remote work. I for one work best side by side with a team of people. That environment is only easily attained in the exact places that have ridiculous real estate markets. I've looked many times at different markets and for me moving doesn't make sense. So near Seattle I stay.
Yes, Tableau is used a lot in life sciences.

But there could be errors hiding anywhere. All you know is it looks correct.
Everyone dies. The only significance of death is if it occurs sooner than otherwise expected. For the vast majority of people that die in old age what to list on the death certificate can be a conundrum, but it is safe to say no one will ever be sued for malpractice if heart disease is listed as the cause of death. 80% of all deaths due to heart disease occur in the 65 and older population.

https://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/pdf/leading_causes_of_dea...

EDIT: Take the data from the above table multiply the deaths by the number of "years of life lost" (65 minus the mid-range age for each column) and ignoring the 65 and older age group and I think you might see a better correlation with news coverage.
The same place, but as a renter? That's what I'd do if I were up ~1M on a house.
Depends on your threat model. If you're concerned about the inherent well-known conflict of interest in the industry, it's probably sufficient to ask (a key word is fiduciary - are they a fiduciary or not?). The general pattern for commissioned financial advisors isn't optimal for you as a client, but it isn't fraudulent. There's also an organization called NAPFA [0] that registers fee-only advisors.

If you're worried about a malevolent actor who's willing to commit fraud and openly lie, well, how do you deal with trust for any other kind of professional? Reputation, credentials, reviews, referrals, word-of-mouth, etc.

You can also seek advice from someone independent of handing them your money to invest. You can ask an advisor to tell you what you ought to be doing with a self-directed brokerage account at another firm. I guess it's not impossible that there could be an elaborate scheme to collect commissions even across institutions, but again, you need some sort of trust for the whole project to make any sense.

Yes, you have to watch out for unprofessional and dishonest people when selecting a service provider. That's very different than saying all providers of financial advice are automatically dishonest by virtue of their profession.

I've submitted non-clean-room reverse engineered code to ReactOS years ago when I was younger and it was accepted with no questions asked. But since that day, I can't bring myself to believe all of this is clean-room reverse engineered.

I'm sort of sick of this environment. HN used to be cool, for me, not so much lately. If you are having a good time, go you, I really wish HN the best, it's one of the better places on the internet, but I'm very close to just being done. And I'm not looking for people to convince me that it is fine, it's a personal thing, the value/cost ratio just is shitty for me and that's probably my history. I'm just tired of the trolls, I could go hug my dogs or deal with the trolls, which one do you think I love?

I currently live on SSDI due to unfortunate medical problems that made driving impossible. Three doctors independently looked at a particular lab result and said, "How are you still alive?". (Previously I had a decent engineering salary writing embedded firmware)

SSDI pays very close to the federal poverty level. Even with the benefit of receiving Medicare, the monthly cost of very-necessary medication plus very frugal living expenses usually leaves me with up to ~$(40 +/- 40) each month in "discretionary spending" that I can use to buy anything beyond rent/medication/food. (e.g. clothes, household cleaning/repair/etc, very rarely travel expenses)

I'm lucky that my interest has always involved computers, which I can use for free for many different purposes. Well, as long as nothing happens to my old desktop (Core 2 Quad Q9650, nForce 790i, RAID-1 of ancient SATA disks). An extra $300/yr would would mean buying new boots and some new shirts. Paying that would mean dropping on of my medications (maybe fatal in the short term, defiantly fatal within a year or two), or skipping a few months of food.

For the record, I'm fine living frugally. I simply suggest that it's important to avoid falling victim to a filter bubble or survivor bias[1], because there are a lot of people - even engineers in Silicon Valley - that have an even worse[2] situation that mine.

> The banks lent money they didn't have.

I don't get this. Banks must always do this, they exist because everyone else wants to lend short term or borrow long term. Anyone who acts as the counterparty to that is automatically a bank or bank-like.

I guess what you mean is that when the banks borrowed short term (as they must), they did it using home loans as collateral, and that more of those loans defaulted than was expected.

How does that justify defaulting?

And a history api - with a few settings, and making the psd file (not a flattened jpeg etc export) - photoshop gives similar information to a series of high frequency vcs commits.

Granted, since Photoshop itself is closed source (and on a subscription model) there's some very strong limits to scientific replication of a process.

But one could do something similar with gimp, additionally aided by python scripts.

So yeah, Photoshop bad; cli good isn't as clever as all that as a blanket statement (not implying anyone said exactly that; just making an observation).

I see the talk/article is about "data" science ; but the headline reminded me about an Alan Kay talk about teaching - where there's a clip of kids filming a fallen object and then juxtapositioning the video with a rendered sequence based on (v=at etc): whole video worth watching, but see the "16:17" link in the transcript ("Now, what if we want to look at this more closely?"):

The BBC story, also reported in multiple other places, is a nice bit of Volvo marketing g, but is nonsense.

Volvo introduced Aeb in 2007 on the XC60. The XC90 only got it when they introduced the new generation a few years ago. Therefore claiming that the exceptional safety record of the XC90 is in any way related to AEB is just rubbish.

The reason why XC90s are associated with so few passenger injuries (note, no claims are made for injuries to other road users by XC90s) is that they are large, heavy and chosen by safsr-than-average demographics.
I think the data is for "unintentional injury" (or death from injury excluding homicide or suicide.)

This category is actually the number one cause of death for ages 1-44. The numbers are fairly constant from ages 15 to 64 but the rate jumps up by a factor of 2.5 after age 65. Assuming that retirees are not just taking up sky diving, this is probably due to increased frailty and hospitalizations caused by falls.

https://www.cdc.gov/injury/wisqars/pdf/leading_causes_of_dea...

EDIT: It seems that in addition to car accidents, poisoning, overdoses, and falls, make up the vast majority of this category.

You need to consider the following elements:
-You compare the S&P and two Six Sigma funds over different timelines. The index yielded much less than 9% on 2004-2015 (you can halve the performance).
-What’s the common feature between: the S&P, the formal idea of passive indexing, and the emergence of passive investment funds? None of them are 80 years old.
-Retail customers (Joe Blow) rarely have access to hedge fund products directly (they might still be exposed through pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, etc. but it makes the allocation change almost out of their hands).
-Stating performance figures alone is mostly a Bloomberg-reader thing. In practice, there is usually at least an attempt to incorporate some kind of risk measure when selecting hedge funds.

I am not even anti-passive funds but you are memeing a bit too hard.
As sibling points out, this is reported in the financials of the company so shareholders are informed.

The reasons companies (listed and otherwise) give stock rather than cash are:
1)cashflow - it allows them to compensate people without affecting the cash position of the business
2)tax - sometimes it's more tax-efficient for the company than cash compensation
3)incentivises retention - vesting keeps people on the treadmill, especially if you re-up people while they vest so they would always leave a lot on the table if they walk. This is standard practise at Wall St firms so it's not SV-specific.
4)incentivises long-term value creation - if people get granted at around the fair value of the company when they join, then when they (exercise and) sell, they receive a share in the value they helped to create. It very much more direct than other forms of compensation
5)flexible - it's very difficult in many cases to adjust people's cash comp downwards. On the other hand if you structure a big piece of their annual comp as a discretionary equity bonus you can flex that
6)clawback - unvested equity is easy to claw back in the case of employee malfeasance. Cash is pretty much impossible to get back short of a lawsuit and even then, good luck.

I totally get that people's long-term financial well-being is often too correlated to their employer's stock price, but it's really no mystery why firms do this. It's not at all an SV invention either, it's very similar to the template used for a long time by Wall St firms.

For some of us, it's engrained into our moral code to fulfill our word with people. And this is manipulated so we'll extend it to corporations. It took me years to learn how to handle relationships with large companies and I still feel horrible frequently after a call with a rep for one.

I've spent hours on the phone trying every way I can to resolve some issue and it too often just comes down to being a jerk. But in so many ways they create the rules of the game.

In what world is it better to NOT have airbags?
At the turn of the 20th century, many Chinese literati shared the same sentiment. This was when Western ideas were in vogue, when China was getting humiliated by Western power, and when Communist ideas had currency. In fact, at one point the CCP had plans to eventually transition Chinese characters to phonetic symbols.

How it went was a classic tale of standardization without implementation. The first round of simplifications incorporated simplifications that were already in common use in informal settings, in calligraphy, and in ancient forms. This led it to be readily adopted. (fun fact; "traditional Chinese characters" are in some cases newer than simplified characters, where the character in question acquired a popular different meaning due to its use for phonetically similar words, and the old sense started to be used with a modified character to distinguish it from the borrowed meaning!)

The next round of simplification was too radical for the people, and so it was eventually rolled back.
