you're equivocating. first you say it's about risk seeking/management and then you say it's about agency/independence. personally I strongly believe it's the latter. if you derisked my startup for me but let me stay in control I would be much happier. eating the risk is the premium /I'm/ paying for the agency - it's that opportunity that you don't have in a large company (trading risk for freedom).

'Twitter for racists' is too easy. I'm a big fan of free speech and against censorship. Lots of pretty red blooded and objectionable discussion and posturing on there ( I set up an account to explore) but it has to be vented somewhere by people and I think it's better in the open.

Exact same thing happened to me, I documented the entire experience: https://medium.com/@mattfriz/postmortem-someone-cloned-my-bo...
My "career" started as the ops/IT guy for a radio station, and concurrently as a video game tester; a rather un-glorious start if you ask me. To say I've worn many hats since then is an understatement; and if you build good skills, I'm confident you can do the same.

As modbait points out, you definitely get catered to for your concentration, but I'd point out that I think that has more to do with how your portray yourself/your vitae. By having broader experiences, I think you gain an edge in being able to emphasize various parts of your history and tell a better story for why you fit for a given position in the future. I have a "sysadmin" resume, a "data analyst" resume, and a "full stack" resume, to name a few.

From the sound of it, what you'll be touching is far from unapplicable. <mainstream cloud platform>, scripting, basic sec/platform stuff, these are all foundational skills pretty regardless of what part of tech you want to do next, I have never once regretted coming from an ops perspective initially. (In fact I proudly think it's an advantage for both understanding your whole stack, and gaining some very useful mindsets for developing and maintaining robust and long-running software. You may also become a beast at firefighting, depending on your role, which _never_ is a bad skill to have.)

If you want to focus on dev, ops positions often hold opportunities to take some initiative/leverage those skills. There's a reason "Devops" is such a buzzword. Always be asking yourself how you can automate yourself out of a job.

Sorry, this has been quite a ramble; "ops as an important skillset" is a topic very close to heart for me. hope this braindump is even marginally useful, and best of luck of course. Bust ass, listen to what the sister comments said about networking+projects+staying hungry for growth. This washed up ops guy is rooting for you.

Integrated design, execution, and analysis of CRISPR genome-editing experiments
The article isn’t drawing a clear line between visual design and design patterns. Many people confuse UI and UX design. One is artistic (UI), the other one is based on cognitive science (UX).
UI will define the looks, the interface may be pretty or bold, but not necessarily usable and intuitive.
UX design will reduce the gap between human and machine by efficiently implementing design patterns, and user centered methodologies (human factors).

It’s expensive and challengjng to build a culture around design (Airbnb, Apple...) and build new patterns. It’s probably cheaper to just go Wild on the UI, not sure if that would stick though.
Of course it is, when it happens. Ity's the prevalence of it happening that is disputable, given both the dearth of verifiable prosecutions and strong incentives for any sex worker to claim trafficking victim status.

It works this way in a number of other states. Ohio teachers (perhaps only some, I'm not sure) give up their social security in order to collect from the state teacher's pension fund, regardless of whatever they've already paid into social security. Seems a little crazy, although until very recently the pension fund appeared to be doing quite well. (they just suspended a cost of living increase for the first time ever, which is not the worst thing in the world, but I certainly am curious as to why their fund's performance has been so mediocre as of late)

Nice work. I see you used your CSS sparingly.
You have no clue. How did rebels benefit? JAI in Douma capitulated the next morning, lost everything except some small arms and were displaced north. Assad obviously benefits, he has his territorial control now. He uses chemical weapons periodically, mostly chlorine, to get what he wants, which is teritorrial control and sending message to other groups elsewhere to obey or face the same terror.

And I don't care who's good for the sake of this argument. Just get a clue about the actual conditions and effects on the ground if you want to play Game theory.

Assad just got unlucky, because this time the stupid chlorine container fell next room to where plenty of people were, and they had no chance, and the Trump noticed this time, and felt whatever Trump feels, and decided to act.

You can't use skepticism and speculation (meaningfully) without being significantly informed about context, and history of those urban sieges Assad's regime uses. Otherwise your speculation is baseless, nevermind the theory it's based uppon.

>x+3 is an element of Q[x].

I think this is incorrect.

Lets continue to assume we are working over Q. Without further context I would take "x+3=-1" to mean that x,3, and -1 are all elements of Q. 3 and -1 being the obvious elements; and x being an a-priori unknown elements which we can easility derive to be 2.

Notably, x+3 is not a polynomial in the technical sense. If we wanted to consider x+3 a polynomial, we would be asking for the t value such that (x+3)[t] = (-1)[t]. Where (-1) is also a polynomial, and (g)[t] is the map Q[x] X Q -> Q given by standard polynomial evaluation.

Sure, this question is equivalent, but I see nothing in the original equation "x+3=-1" to suggest any involvement of formal polynomials.
Possibly.

The current ad-hoc approach of "type this URL in" that's used in various places could be extended in this case to "click this link, or alternatively go to this short address and type this short code in".

This would actually work because the short URLs would be per-recipient-account - they wouldn't need to be "globally" unique!

Alas, we live in a denialist dystopia, not a self-acknowledging one, so the above will probably never happen - per-recipient short URLs rely firmly on a global social graph that can predict with a high degree of accuracy who is highly unlikely to click on who else's link.

Google has one of these, but nobody's supposed to realize how much of an oracle it is.

So, we've just upgraded to "for security, please click this 10000-character-long URL" emails being sent from Google itself.

The phishers are laughing.

This is the most ridiculous part of the whole "right to be forgotten" situation. The courts have completely abdicated their responsibility to control the process, instead forcing google (and apparently only google) to act as a court.

If the right to be forgotten is an important right that Eu courts want to enforce, they should actually enforce it. Not just tell google to get it right.

For the US, the entire digital ad market is $83B/yr, which works out to $257 per person per year, or $717 per household. Keep in mind that about half of the country's population is "frequent internet users", so that number is almost certainly an underestimate for anyone who browses HN.

For comparison, this number just recently passed TV advertising, which is about $70B/yr ($217/person, $605/household).

Polynomials in multiple variables always have the variables ordered. Sometimes the ordering is not important or explicitly stated but in reality they are supposed to be ordered.

If we start with x y + 2 = 0 we can apply the function

f(x) = x - 2

to both sides of the equation. This gives us the equation

x y = -2

This is a different equation than the one we started with but these two equations have the same solution set. Can go a step further and transform this equation to

y = -2/x

This equation has the same solution set as the first equation. All three equations are equivalent. Solutions are ordered pairs of numbers.

Commonly in basic courses like calculus we tell students that the last form is preferable and we write solutions as (x, -2/x). We call this set the graph of the equation but really it’s the solution set of the equation.

In algebraic geometry x y + 2 = 0 is preferable. The solution set is called an algebraic variety. The solutions are ordered pairs in affine space.

The rules of algebra, as taught in low level courses, are rules that allow one to transform a given equation into simpler equation. In one variable the goal is to end up with something like x = 3 because such an equation is easy to solve. The solution is the 1-tuple 3.

Not all sets are recursively enumerate so using enumerate as you did can cause problems.

Agreed, there is toxic behaviour from both male and female. What is not recognised is that this behaviour has been around for millenia. Male and female are quite different, even if there is a crossover of interests. The worst characteristics of humanity are shown by both male and female. I have seen mothers train their sons to be the worst of men and I have seen fathers train their daughters to the worst of women. I have seen both mothers and fathers train their sons and daughters to be the best they can be without the sons losing their masculinity nor the daughters their femininity.

How males look at a situation is often quite different to how females look at the same situation. The problem here is not they they see it differently but that there is this thing in our society today that says the male outlook is wrong.

To see something in a different light means that it is possible to see a bigger picture here. I have worked in many different environments where there have been varying ratios of male to female. The environments that operated best took notice of the inputs from all involved.

The tasks and interests that each of us has and does do not define how masculine or feminine we may be. Being masculine as a male or feminine as a female does not dictate the kinds of activities you do.

Too often today, men are automatically seen as dangerous even when coming to the defence of children that are in distress. It is usually assumed that the distress of the child or young person has been caused by the male coming to help. This says more about the symptomatic problems in today's society that a male cannot come to the defence of children and young people.

We have lost so much in trying to remove male masculinity. The number of times I have heard women of all ages complain about where the men have gone and yet they do not see that the removal of masculinity of males is a result of what they are calling for.

Men and women are not equivalent. They are the two sides of a stable complete society. Both are required and both are necessary for a society to function properly. When dominance by one at the expense of the other only leads to trouble. Each provides what the other doesn't have and only as a unit do we see a completeness that is truly profound.

We have societies in which a donkey is more important than a female and injustice runs rife through such. We have societies where the males are considered to be the worst of the worst, lower than the wild beasts of the field and injustice runs rife through such. When the preciousness of both male and female is highlighted then we see justice.

x+3 is an element of the polynomial ring Q[x]. More precisely it is syntactic sugar for the infinite tuple

(3, 1, 0, 0, ....)

A polynomial ring in one variable is an infinite direct sum of the base ring with addition component wise and multiplication defined in a certain way. The expression x+3 meets the definition of a polynomial.
