I met my current dating partner on OKcupid a couple years ago. I've tried Tinder and while I've had more matches on there, and got more dates from it (before I got serious with this girl), I think OKC is better for finding compatible people for the reasons you name: there's simply a lot more information and detail in the profiles. OKC makes it easy to weed out people who have incompatibilities because you can see this stuff in the profiles in also in the answers to the many questions. The only problem with OKC in my view is that Tinder and similar low-information phone apps have basically taken over, so it seems like the traditional sites like OKC are basically dying out from lack of users. Just like any social network, these sites depend on a "critical mass" of users to work well.
Just about any. The SMB ROM is 31KB.
I've always thought of it like a plane, with the terms adverse yaw and adverse roll applying. The main difference is if your turn is uncoordinated, you fall over. Yaw is controlled via the handlebars. Roll is controlled via balance.

Just turning the handlebars causes adverse roll in the other direction. If you are falling to the left, turning the wheel to the right causes an opposite roll and restores balance.

Turning the handlebars the opposite way momentarily is a great way to start a turn because of the adverse roll that it causes.
Yep, I’ll add the URL in my comment, sorry about that.
This is precisely what I mean by "beyond mere disagreement". It's not enough to disagree; his character must be attacked as well.
I rather think if people fingerprint other people just because they can, using yet other misdeeds as an excuse for their own misdeed, there should be a way to steal from them and be not nice to them. Like, take their auger, poop on their sand castle, whatever makes them cry is fair game and should be done until the desired effect is achieved.
Anything hashable can be a dict key, so if you have some mapping between one thing that’s hashable and other things, you can use a dict directly rather than having to come up with an index and keep track of that association.
Well considering they are type hints that aren't actually checked then the answer is no.
Very interesting read, but as more of an analyst, I kept waiting for the ‘meaning.’ Maybe I missed it, but for anyone else who may be considering reading this, it is more about ‘giving business structure’ to analytic events.

Good article none the less.
I agree. If anything, regular dating apps like Tinder are decreasing the wealth gap.
NBA Bar: Watch NBA in Your Menubar

"Oh something like no tax up to a certain level"

Already have that.

"3 or 4 bands from then on"

Already have that.

"similar with inheritance tax, but a firm no dodging it policy for the very high value estates."

Already have that.

"Toss it into a decent simulation and make regional adjustments depending on local income, and actively try to address some of the regional imbalances over time with national funding for things like schools."

How is that going to make figuring out taxes easier? What if I live in one cost of living area for a while, then move to an area with another cost of living? Now I have to keep track of what income I earned where?

Answers:

Because it costs so much to make.

Because it has, in some cases, a measurable benefit in productivity, and is being priced accordingly.

Because it's something that's still relatively new, and like anything else, things slowly get cheaper as time goes on, but start out priced decently high.

Oftentimes engineers see law like code, if you can find a way to break it, great!

The naive information highway still holds but ... 0.1% maybe :)

Somehow it reminds me of noise versus signal. Having "more" doesn't mean having more of what you want, on the contrary. It's an usual system design actually.

Reminds of the notion of price. Price is more than cost of parts and labor. You give a perfect item for free and nobody will take it. There's a relativity to effort. You value what you pay for. And it's bidirectional; people put price at what they value the sale. Then balance occur.

Same goes for communication it seems. You give wikipedia and lolcats for free.. but lot more people don't value knowledge [1] but laughter is always good. Climate allows for this kind of growth.

At the same time, when people have insight and ambition, they'd gladly pay 1000$ for "guaranteed and efficient" lessons because they plan to turn it into 4000$ monthly, so free DIY knowledge is also not really a necessity. Not that I dislike it. I despise information lockdown and like to explain things for free. But there's a tension needed for people to learn and change their mindset (learning is not very easy).

About the journalistic side of information you described, it's all sadly true. We also had a sad lesson with the web. Stored and vetted knowledge means zero in a mob context. Tribal reflexes will win. How crazy is that.

[1] social paradox, society is ignorance and specialization, so knowing more than what gives you your place in society is somehow waste.
Both, but the socioeconomic thing really killed it more than the religion. With religion, at least you can agree to disagree usually. But in a marriage, finances are shared to some extent, and you just can't get past that. When one partner is frugal and manages money carefully, and the other thinks "we're making all this money! why can't I spend it on xyz/tithe to my church/buy expensive gifts for my family/etc.?" the results won't be good.

Not really sure what your central question then is: The general theme for building a recommender system architecture is:

1. Decide whether you are okay with a batch approach or an online learning approach or a hybrid.

2. Start simple with a batch approach (similar to what you are doing):

a) Get features ready from your dataset (assuming you have interaction data) : Pre-processing via some big data framework (Map Reduce, Data flow etc)

b) Build a vector space and nearest neighbors datastructures.

c) Stick both into a database optimized for reads

d) Stick a service in front of it and serve.

Once you are happy with 2, you can try out variations involving either online updates to your recommender system which involves changes to the type of database you might want to optimize. etc

I had no idea this valet-parking concept existed for offices; yes, it's definitely a 'privilege' (in some ways) that's being complained about, but it's strange to think that some companies actually hire outside firms specifically to deal with car parking. I mean, it makes logical sense, but...

I'm working for a growing start-up, and though we seem to have slowed down from our peak growth period, the cautions about office space ring true with us. As the sysadmin, I'm involved to a degree in office planning (to ensure computers are placed properly) and I am exerting a little pressure to ensure we don't fall into the classic trap of cramming people in. I really hope we can strike the balance of enough people to do the work without too many people in the office requiring desks and management, and the team fragmentation that inevitably follows.
This isn't a comparative response. Anything I put on Facebook is there with the full knowledge that it isn't going to be private, and that my activities there may be used for profiling purposes.

Anything I put on my phone is under a presumption of privacy except as I specifically choose otherwise.

Why does software cost so little?

When you look at the value created by tech, the productivity gains from buying solutions instead of rolling your own, the possibility to focus on your own competencies vs getting distracted by maintaining your own re-invention of the wheel...

Or maybe, just maybe, it is priced just right.
YC is legacy, don't apply. ICOs are technically better and you don't have to uproot your life to go to SF. Additionally it doesn't have to gate out 99% of the public with the accredited investor scam.

The connections seem nice and everyone is talented obviously.
Doubt it. More than anything I believe this caters to a population who enjoys the feeling of being "exclusive" or "elite". Whatever, if someone is buying someone will sell.

One thing that jumped out at me was that the article compares modern cryptocurrency to the dot com situation in 1997-1999, and is using it to criticize cryptocurrency.

27 billion dollars were raised in 1997-1999. Perhaps most of that was wasted. But just one company started in that time period, Google, is now worth 700 billion dollars. From an overall point of view, the dot com investment era was good investment. People just weren't sure which companies were going to be the winners.

Only 1/3 of adults have four-year degrees. If dating were purely random you’d expect about 11% of marriages to be between partners with degrees, so this figure is perhaps a little lower than what I’d expect but not too far off.
Being an ass on Twitter is one thing, but being an ass on Twitter and sending those upset with you to the school's suicide prevention hotline is beyond the pale.
That’s the “host bindings” proposal.

All of this tooling has been written to be forward-compatible with it, so whenever that lands, you can upgrade the tool and get a speed boost for free.
Keep in mind that these appear to be for the population as a whole. Since women have overtaken men recently from what used to be a pretty significant disparity, that should mean that recent years have seen a significantly higher proportion of women getting college degrees vs. men.
>but a majority of windows programs may be made in C#

If that were true, and I'm not sure it is, it doesn't account for all the much software, since almost everything is a web app now.
Rejected twice, now. I second this. It's annoying to be rejected, but it's important not to be dispirited.

Keep pushing on and don't let a YC rejection bother you too much. As mrburton said, if it slows you down, you're probably doing something wrong.

Honestly, bootstrapping can be very advantageous to your startup because it keeps you on your toes.
Let’s Meet Some of the Women Making Your Clothing
I'm happy to see data classes. I think something like this exists in 3.6:

class Person(typing.NamedTuple):
name: str
age: int

But I don't think it supports the __post_init__; however, constructors have no business doing parsing like this anyway, so unless I'm missing something, deriving from `typing.NamedTuple` seems strictly better than `@dataclass` insofar as it seems less likely to be abused.
I've been using Disconnect, I may try Ghostery instead.

Disconnect inteferes with a lot of websites from working, and I think (like I think Ghostery which works similarly) does not do the same thing(s) that Firefox Containers do. I actually didn't realize the general Firefox Containers feature existed, and will also explore that more.
I cant help but think of the post about stealing password credentials from the site you build by surreptitiously inserting extra code into the published NPM package. Except wasm packages seem like they'd be even harder to detect.

While I agree in part, I'd hope we not throw out the baby with the bathwater. (and I say this despite grumbling to myself about how that Bloomberg article on dating apps was clearly a submarine piece that occurs whenever one of these platforms pops up every few years) The Backblaze blog, for instance, consistently delivers really quality writeups, and as I recall I was originally turned onto them via HN.

Also, the discussion on this thread hasn't been terrible. As someone who uses containers day to day, it's interesting to hear other perspectives from people who fall into pro/anti container camps. Obviously an organic blog article spawning this discussion would be optimal, but in absence of that, I'll take this, and try to trust the HN community to be on point (as you and others in this thread are) to point out conflicting motives/incentives.

(To make this response actionable, though, personally I find I can have the most impact for surfacing the sort of content I want to see by skimming new as much as the front page, and keeping an eye out for grassroots work that might not gain much notoriety despite being worthy of a look.)
FreeBSD makes images available for it that you burn to the SD card and pop in and you are off to the races, although just for -HEAD so you end up chasing new images every so often since the system is still heavily in flux.

Why do you want to do that? Why are you dis-satisfied with your liberal arts degree, or with the doors it has opened for you? What are you hoping that STEM will do for you?
A good solution would be to simply reduce the p-value threshold.

The current "standard" p-value in many fields, of 5%, is arguably too high. consider throwing a double six in backgammon has probability of 3%. That means that, on some level, throwing 6-6 would be a valid scientific "proof" of ESP. (p-value<0.05)
This of course is even before p-hacking.

A high p-value is basically externalizing part of the research cost onto other scientists and in the process creates a lot of false-positive "noise".
Yep, I agree but such an obsessive focus comes at a cost of execution speed. In the early stages I'd rather be fast and a bit sloppy than be slow and perfect.
In the current economic system new national currency is created through 3 ways.
1. By banks when they extend a loan (likewise it gets destroyed upon repayment)
2. By the government when it deficit spends into the economy (destroyed through taxation)
3. By converting foreign currency through running an export surplus (ejected by import surplus)

It is worth noting that appart from printing actual dollar bills (typically <5% of total money) the production cost (“seigniorage”) is effectively infinitesimal.

So yes, both gold and bitcoin are stupendously wasteful when your goal is to create currency for transactions. But at least in the case of gold the material is useful and you can use it to diversify your asset stock.
There is a strong perception across the world that facebook swung the election, which means that the world concentrates on the power of facebook, which drives that perception.

Also, Amazon.com. That's over a trillion dollars of value between them.

The Dotcom craziness gave us hundreds of companies of which only a much smaller amount survived and just a few thrived. But those few more than made up for the total aggregate investment. Likewise with cryptocurrencies. I would not be surprised, in fact I fully expect that most of the crypto coins and tokens out there will fail, investment in them being for nought. But 10-20 years from now, I would be very surprised if the total cryptocurrency industry, consisting of the winners and their descendants, is not orders of magnitude larger than it is today. Just like with the Dotcom era.
You aren't listening, then, because the fact that clinical trials seek people maximally healthy but for the target conditions rather than a representative sample of those with the target condition is a very frequent complaint.

Maybe the audience for this was always smaller, but the niche of "find people who share interests with you" is under explored. FB cornered the social network market, but it was always deliberately the opposite of this: you only add people you already know.

I used to be a part of a social network which had more of an open-world policy, and I miss it.
If class-based partner selection is not the source of the harm, but exacerbates the harm of inequality, how is it preferable to the alternative? If something is on fire, I would generally say it's "bad" to add fuel to it, hence my opinion. Of course I agree that this is more of an emergent effect of the classist society we inhabit than a cause of it, but most of the reasons that class-based partner selection can be "good" are precisely due to class inequalities in the first place.

Also, I rather like IPS packaging. Please explain how it sucks.

It's written in Python (because they wanted to attract developers) and it doesn't allow for pre- and postinstall scripts, nor does it allow pre- and postremove scripts. If you're doing very large scale configuration management with OS packaging, you're screwed really deep and really hard, because with IPS, all of that pre- and postinstall as well as pre- and postremove scripting has to be completely redesigned into self-assembly SMF methods, which is a gargantuan, extremely financially expensive effort.

It's slow, so the core parts had to be rewritten in C. Might as well have started with C to begin with.

Since they didn't want to allow scripting, they had to put in special hacks like "actuators" and driver hooks. At which point they might as well have put in scripting, but no, they remained stubborn. Another big sin. It's because both Hahn and Smaalders were/are for some bizarre reason absolutely convinced that scripting in packaging is bad and fragile, which is utter nonsense. So wrong assumption begat wrong, busted architectural decisions.

The design was actually an experiment by one Dr. Stephen Hahn. It had some good ideas like delta in-place upgrades (like SGI IRIX's inst(1M)), and incorporations (like IRIX inst(1M)'s depots) but the implementation sucks so horribly, with such horrible technical choices as Python that it should have never made it past the prototype stage. Apart from OmniOS and OpenIndiana, it is shunned by other mainstream illumos-based operating systems.

The automated installer which leverages it and was meant to replace JumpStart(TM) is an overcomplicated disaster.

The biggest sin of IPS though, is collateral damage: because IPS is so architecturally busted, sparse zones, a truly revolutionary and phenomenally useful capability had to be abandoned (to be brought back in SmartOS, thankfully).

I hate IPS with the burning passion of 30 trillion suns. Thanks, Dr. Stephen Hahn & Co.!

Post scriptum: I kept trying to tell them to license IRIX's inst(1M). They kept ignoring me. Now inst(1M) is bit rotting away in some vault and IPS is an obscure packaging mechanism preventing OmniOS from reaching its adoption potential. All around win-win.
The original Blazer was based on the DotNetAnywhere runtime and the binary size was actually very reasonable.

How does one differentiate between you the OP and you the reader?
The issue at it's most fundamental level is that people are putting things on Facebook (and other social networks) with an expectation of privacy in the first place. If you post something on Facebook, you have in fact decided that you do not have something to hide.

I care about my privacy, but everything I've put on Facebook is public as far as I'm concerned. I don't care that they are using that information to profile me and serve ads for things I might like because I posted there with full knowledge of that. If I want something to be private, I don't put it on Facebook (or other social networks).
