I figured something like this would exist, but I don't think it's very useful.

I've walked the dark path of trying to implement "pickup artist" material(can't imagine that'll be received well), and I can say that:

A) an objective approach works (if you're humble and willing to recognize/adjust for failure)
B) there's a torrent of snake oil out there
C) you learn a lot when you try this stuff. A lot.

A lot of that material is laughably bad, but the general formula of "know your value, be confident and unapologetic about what you want, be ready to accept 'no' quickly and gracefully" is the buried gold. Maybe it's just me but grinding through failure after failure after failure taught me those things.

You can't buy them, and if you don't have them, it shows in your behavior.

You can't have someone Cyrano de Bergerac your way into a date by behaving that way, because in the end the girl shows up and meets you.

Furthermore, the proposition that this is a service for people who don't have time to send messages in these apps doesn't hold water. Not having the time to respond promptly is an asset. Bailing on some conversations is an asset. You're a busy man with a lot going on, not a desperate man glued to every prospect.

That's my two cents.
Okay, I posted an addendum about it, as always I've missed some crucial info (namely, the locations of where to monitor RKN's anti-constitutional internet censorship actions).

Now guys, I'd ask you to repost it and use this info as you see fit. Even if most of my efforts would be in vain, the world should know better about stuff that's going on here.
My apologies, I can see how what I said can sound harsh. It's not my intent to say that tradespeople aren't smart. I have a technical school diploma myself, from before I went to university.

The reality is though that what universities prize- this strange form of 'smart' that involves sitting and reading for hours on end, usually of subjects that have no meaning towards the actual career objective- is not a skill that needed to get a trades degree. There, everything you learn is specially needed in the job you'll do. And there's a lot of kids right now sitting in University classrooms desperate to learn something practical while going deep into debt to learn something else.
I can see the evolution of this: ripe for machine learning disruption. Then in a few years all we have are AI bots chatting each other up, and then informing us who we are to mate.
Why is this a tech issue? There are plenty of folks who work in the tech industry who would like to see these scooter vendors take at least minimal steps to play nice.

Amazon is trying to leverage their dominant market position to enter video streaming, music streaming, ... etc.. And have customers pay higher rates on top of that. At some point that becomes abuse of monopoly.
Heh, the math will never even get brought up in the trial. They'll just talk about DNA matches and everybody on the jury will think this guy is scientifically proven to be guilty.
I think the idea is that someone who feels less secure in their place in the programming community may be more powerfully affected by the same level of hostility than a nerdy middle-class white guy who grew up in gamer/internet culture and feels it’s his birthright. It takes a certain sense of entitlement to continue to participate in a community that rebukes you.
Most likely neither. Anti-trust is a matter of political opportunism. Because Boeing sells to multi-national corporations the government has little political incentive to target them. After all, those corporations are wealthy enough and sophisticated enough to take care of themselves (or so the thinking might go).
Developers will use Go because if its technical aspects.Features like concurrency primitives that make go what it is. Nobody is going to ditch Go because they don't like the new branding. "Rewrite everything in Rust, the new logo sucks". The branding is for non technical people, like executives and other non-technical employees across the company. What they are trying to convey to these people is that there is something new, exciting, and better happening with Go -- something developers know, but others who don't understand technical details won't get. The other purpose is probably to highlight to Alphabet investors the investments Google is making in the Go programing language, and to try and make them understand how impactful that investment has been.

There's apparently been some improvements to HiDPI in this release for Xubuntu, which is giving me hope it works better now.

> For "doubling the personal income tax", I originally interpreted that to mean that, to raise the $3T, we would need to double the personal income tax revenues.

The issue is the premise.

In theory you can have a basic income with a phase out, which pursuant to this dubious accounting would be much less expensive. But in practice it's exactly the same thing.

The reason phase outs are a bad idea -- and this is an issue with a great deal of the existing assistance programs -- is that benefits phase outs and taxes are equivalent, so they should be evaluated together to avoid silly results.

Suppose you have a system for housing vouchers (or any other assistance program) where you get $5000/year at $0 in income with a 20% phase out rate as income increases. Meanwhile there is an income tax with a 15% rate from $0-$50000 and 25% thereafter. Then what you really have is a 35% rate from $0-$25000, followed by a 15% rate from $25000-$50000, followed by a 25% rate above $50000. Which makes no sense, isn't what was intended, and shouldn't have happened. And it only gets worse and harder to reason about as you add multiple programs which each have their own phase out conditions.

The way to resolve this is to eliminate the phase outs entirely and have the government recover the money through normal taxes, e.g. by setting a single uniform rate. That nominally makes the tax rate higher for some people, but in practice it's the same thing and makes it a lot easier to avoid accidentally creating a ridiculous tax rate schedule.

> Your example can literally hold true, even with all of the above, AFAICT. Yes, we may charge a hypothetical person $12k, and give him back $10k, for a net of $2k. But there will also be others, presumably poorer, that are paying much less in taxes than they're getting in UBI, and that must come from somewhere...

Of course, and it would come from taxpayers with above average incomes. That's the entire point of the system.

But even someone who comes out ahead, because they e.g. receive $10,000 and only pay $6000 in taxes, is still giving back $6000. Only the remaining $4000 has to be covered by someone else, not the entire amount. Accounting for this drastically reduces the net amount other taxpayers actually have to cover -- half the recipients would be covering their own UBI entirely and even the other half will on average cover 50% of it, making the actual cost only a quarter of the amount quoted. Which is in line with the cost of the existing assistance programs it would be replacing.
What a good review, focusing on all the so-called little things, that are actually the big things, ie does it actually work smoothly.

The same with laptop reviews which quite often just compare features and speeds, but not the feel, keyboard, trackpad, weight, noise and heat, port placement, carry-ability, one-hand-holdability, etc, etc.

Bumble is an interesting platform. The promise is that women have to message first, luring in men who are frustrated with lack of replies, and women who are frustrated with endless spam.

From what I’ve heard from my friends, 99% of first messages on Bumble are ”hi” or a single emoji, kicking the ball straight back on the men’s side of the field.

I wish dating as a research subject wasn’t so wrapped in weird MRA activism and other politics, there’s a lot of fascinating phenomenoma to be observed.

Kanye West and Kim Karadashian-West BREAK UP
For the record, "official" support is still not there because there's no CI environment for Windows (currently only macOS and a few versions of Ubuntu have CI). So changes aren't guaranteed to not break other platforms.

There's upstream (in-tree) support for Darwin, Linux, Windows, Cygwin, FreeBSD, Android, PS4, and Haiku. But most of those don't have CI support yet.

Same is true for architectures. There's support for ARM, i386, x86_64, PPC64 (BE + LE), and s390x.

IIRC there's been some talk about how to extend the CI infrastructure to support more executor environments, but so far I don't think it's been a high enough priority.

A dollar is generous. The value of any individual user’s data is far simpler: worthless.
This is just all sorts of ass backward rhetoric that misses the point of Stack Overflow. People don't go to SO expecting emotional support. They expect answers to their questions.
I don't know if you'd noticed, but the developing world has actually gotten smaller. Take just one example: in 1957, South Korea had a lower per-capita GDP than Ghana, and no natural resources to speak of. And speaking of imperialism, the US and USSR throwing their weight around fighting proxy battles and ripping the top half of the country off hadn't exactly helped.

Now they're a trade and manufacturing powerhouse, and when South Korea blinks the entire world's supply of memory fluctuates.
Hardware optimize for NN. Nvidia dominate focus had been graphics. Big difference which we can see the results in this article.

Plus benefits not having the baggage that Nvidia would have.

But never going to be able to use a TPU for graphics.

That's more of an issue with DNA evidence interpretation than a fundamental difference between different types of identifiable information. Your information can definitely end up in a crime scene that you have nothing to do with. If we use the name example, it's happened before as well [1].

The thing is, features like Postgres' native UUID column types, JSONB and HStore are killer features that give developers data flexibility they didn't use to have before, meaning with one database I can go between relational or MongoDB-style JSON dumping where needed.

This, plus strong consistency to prevent shooting yourself in the foot, is valuable for 99% of use cases where you don't need insane web scale.
Because the public is ignorant of the problems with it and the judiciary likes tools that can win easy convictions. Breathalyzers don't actually measure blood alcohol and there is no credible way they can estimate it to three significant digits but courts allow them too. Polygraphs are pure bullshit but the examiner's word that someone is "lying" is taken as sacrosanct evidence in court.

How exactly can those corporations prevent monopolization of airplane manufacturers (which will likely result in higher prices and lower quality for them)?

Anti-trust laws are there to prevent exactly such kind of outcomes, yet they seem to be mostly broken.
Has there ever been a study of the gamification of city building? Or rather the results thereof?

E.g. give a simulator the current population and layout of NYC with the current influx of people with a budget and see what the results are? It would be fascinating to see people try and "beat" the high scores on different cities (i.e. Austin would be an easy level, Boston harder, and NYC the hardest level, etc.). Then we could collate what worked and what didn't without dumb projects like the Mopac Expressway.

Either way I'd play that game.
Hmm..A lot of this review is about Gnome. Which is new and shiny for Ubuntu users, but has been around forever in Fedora.

Fedora 27 is a beautiful, integrated OS that is probably better designed, pays more core Linux devs and has fewer existential crises than Ubuntu.
This statistic is mentioned a lot, but it would be interesting to see a breakdown by amount of traffic on those sites. In these metrics thanks to the big web companies, the reach of Wordpress is much lower and other application frameworks are more predominant.
Ya, I don't know if they outsource these comments to the same people that do astroturfing for platforms like Facebook. These one liners just appear so out of place in a engineer-y / HN crowd to be inconspicuous.
BTW,. Deepmind now uses TPUs both for training and inference and with the results we can see why.

I disagree. If inflation is very high, the fed (aka BOC for me) will increase the interest rate, and by correlation, a higher mortgage rate ensues. Less people qualifying for mortgages attacks the demand side of the market, lowering the prices of homes.
Interesting idea, but everyone I've worked with has their own distinct flavors of how they code, so this wouldn't really hide identity much, not unless you didn't know the coder in the first place.
Except that some dating apps have micropayments in them.

This is a well known economic fact and points to why economic niches rapidly form monopolies. These monopolies, once entrenched, can never be dislodged thanks to their economies of scale.

> The average lifespan of a company listed in the S&P 500 index of leading US companies has decreased by more than 50 years in the last century, from 67 years in the 1920s to just 15 years today, according to Professor Richard Foster from Yale University.

Oh.
I think you're confusing an investigation with a trial. This technique seems like a breakthrough for narrowing a list of suspects. But your claim that this would be used as evidence in a trial is unfounded and a bit silly. They have him. They have the DNA of the killer. They can perform their own testing without relying on any online DNA test results at all.
I thoroughly disagree that SO is hostile to "everyone". I've been there for nearly nine years and find that the only people who complain about such things, as listed here, are those who never took "The Tour" and aren't aware of the rules for asking and answering questions as out lined in the Help Center.

I rarely ask questions anymore but, when I did, they have never been downvoted or questioned because ... I follow the rules ... but too many people come their and treat it like a forum (it's not) or like (shudder) reddit. That's when they get themselves into trouble.

I'm a high rep user and visit every day. I don't answer many questions anymore because, nowadays, they are mostly about canned software (CMS, frameworks, etc.) and not real programming. So I help clean things up and I'm one of those guys who lets you know when you've violated the rules. "Can someone give me teh codez?" is my favorite. Believe it or not, it gets asked every day and I help close at least three every day.

And I get irritated.

Meh. To that same point though, Boeing's net profit margin is only around 10%. Of course, 10% is pretty typical of any company, and doesn't seem to be any kind of huge amount coming from duopoly power. Compare to Visa, which has more like a 50% profit margin.

...But even if you considered all of that 10% profit margin comes from the powers the duopoloy affords them, then that's only 2% of airline costs (10% Boeing profit * 20% of airline cost).
A bit off topic but curious: which pro audio interfaces have you had the best success with on Linux? Especially at 32 channels. I doubt I can ever break my Logic+Waves addiction but your report has me intrigued, might give Ubuntu Studio a shot for some experimental tracks.

No I don't. Tradesman are often portrayed as more manly and Americana than the dull office worker. Those pickup truck commercials don't feature rugged accountants pulling into the office park.

The reason young people got out of the trades was entirely due to the Great Recession, which eliminated any opportunity people graduating between 2004 and 2012 had of ever having a career in these fields. There's no reason to take on apprentices when you can get a desperate person with a decade of experience for the same pay.

The people who trained in those careers just a few years earlier retrained for new jobs and new people never bothered to get training for jobs they knew didn't exist. The only people that stuck it out were those who were lucky or desperate.

Even with the immediate passing of control, the premise still works, because women perform the first pass of filtering, giving them an opportunity to preemptively reject the most undesirable of the pool before they have a chance to reach out. It's also an effective tool to fight the sheer volume of spam.

Some states have banned familial searching. I took a genomics class and the guest speaker was a forensic scientist, he explained the pros and cons. Clearly getting these serial criminals off the street has some benifit.

Its been done before. One of the first was the "Grim Sleeper" case with an arrest in 2010. In that case they used the police database though (california has dna of all felons.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grim_Sleeper
"Police had found no exact match between DNA found at the crime scenes and any of the profiles in California's DNA profile database, so they searched the database for stored profiles that demonstrated sufficient similarity to allow police to infer a familial relationship. They found similar DNA belonging to Franklin's son, Christopher, who had been convicted of a felony weapons charge. According to Los Angeles District Attorney Steve Cooley, detectives then used a piece of discarded pizza with Franklin's DNA to make the link. One Los Angeles undercover police officer pretended to be a waiter at a restaurant where the suspect ate. He collected dishes, silverware, glasses, and pizza crusts to obtain DNA.[20] The identification was used to arrest Franklin after his DNA was obtained and deemed a match.[21] Saliva found on the victims established a DNA match linking Franklin to the deaths"
>I'm not getting into either side of it, I'm just saying that you have to admit it's an astonishing coincidence that online communities, started by, moderated by, largely inhabited by, and currently operated by white men seemingly always have a cadre of white men on the top as the "most valuable contributors" and nobody ever seems to wonder if all those things are connected.

Of course these things are connected, everything is. It isn't an astonishing coincidence at all, its the exact expected result given the environment.
