What a wonderful site. Thanks for sharing. It's like oblique strategies for your whole self.
I don’t think you’re wrong or anything, but I do find it frustrating that HackerNews seems to be full of people dismissive of the technology and from what I’ve gathered relatively devoid of the baseless shilling. Other communities, not so much.
> I don't think women feeling harassed by men's advances is remotely "outside the norm", or a "tiny minority". It's very common, which is exactly the problem.

By college students on campus?

That's not at all the impression I get from my daughter or her friends who finished college recently.

Her opinion is the men are way too timid.

> If people like this kind of courtship, they should be willing to communicate that

Why? Why isn't it up to the minority of people who have a problem to communicate clearly?

> impossible for anyone to say "no" just so they can get their kicks.

It doesn't make it impossible to say no. What are you talking about?

What it means is a women might have to say no a couple of times over time or make it clear they have no interest at all.

I've asked a friend to meet up for coffee 3x this fortnight and he has said no each time. Should I never ask him again to get coffee?

If I keep asking him does that mean he can't say no?
If we're gonna play that silly game, what about roads, from the old English rād meaning 'journey on horseback'.
The quality is really bad. Maybe they've improved in the past few years but one of my friends has a 5 year old Focus that he bought new and is total garbage. The doors don't lock half the time, the transmission craps out once every 6 months, sometimes the engine won't start without wiggling the battery cables, the plastic trim around the windows keeps falling off.
Workers of Silicon Valley, It’s Time to Organize
Before all the international sanctions Russia was briefly considered a high income country from 2012-2014. They were doing well, and wages in the European part in particular were quite respectable by Eastern European standards, they've gone backwards a lot recently.
> You're conflating completely unrelated politics with the point I'm making, as well as assigning them to me.

Nope, you can't vote in favor of banning abortion without voting for every shitty way republicans want to fuck over minorities. I didn't conflate them, they merged themselves together decades ago. I can't take any anti-abortion arguments seriously so long as they are attached to a long list of horrendous anti-human agendas. At this point, it's extremely difficult to consider the anti-abortion agenda to be anything other than about controlling and discriminating women. If you sincerely cared about babies, you would be completely disgusted by the way they are treated and supported after birth. But you literally only care that they pop-out alive.

There's no argument to consider because nothing about your position is sincere.
Only applies to pickups, and basically every manufacturer has assemblies in the US now, negating the advantage.

You see a lot of Tundras in Texas because they're made there, for example
With things like Facebook shadow profiles, you're pretty much driven out of any sufficiently developed society if you want true privacy.
> Targeted ads are fine to me.

This is actually the widespread attitude I imagine in a post-privacy world. It's different from people not understanding the implications of targeted ads and unknowingly accepting it. In this case, it's people that (presumably) understand this, and say, "well, that's okay."
The sidewalk in San Francisco is already not a safe place.

Everyone is looking down at their phones. If they aren't, it seems like a large amount of SF residents don't know how to walk on sidewalks appropriately (stick to one side of the road when someone is coming the other way, don't walk 6 abreast, etc.).

I have seen so many people bump into each other and get into accidents simply walking. I wouldn't mind scooters on the sidewalk because then people will actually be forced to be aware, instead of walking around like mindless zombies staring at their phone and bumping into poles
Ignoring the “business” part of your comment, because that's far from the only reason to want to have broad social ties:

Dedicating a time slot in the usual sense is very socially costly if they've gravitated to a presenceless, fast-moving platform, because psychological consensus and topic closure operates more on the perceived speed of communication of the group. If 90% of the other people respond within an hour, and you get there eight hours later, the conversation's moved on, so if everyone else is in the habit of checking their phone every fifteen minutes, there's pressure for you to be too. So, yes, you can “dedicate a time slot” at the end of every pomodoro, if that's what you meant.

This is more true in “channel”-based environments where “new in thread” is inconvenient or unavailable. If you're not careful, you can even be disruptive. Even on slow-moving, old-style Web forums, “necroposting” is considered rude; a chat-like medium with little to no threading support can just lower the threshold for it from weeks to hours if there's enough activity.

For the other part, I'll grant that “get a word in on something important” was badly worded, though I can't think of a better phrase this instant. I was imagining things like “we've changed the meetup location because someone raised a problem, is this okay with everyone or does someone need a ride” or “I'd like comments on which direction I should go with the next part of this piece” or “I'm going to see if some of us can do X together tomorrow, I want three more people, who's with me”. All of these can easily render your participation irrelevant if you show up too late, and “too late” is by default defined by what's usual and convenient, not by abstract considerations of what's good for people's habit formation.
You have to at least give him credit, he didn't use a car metaphor.
Edit: thought about this some more, I don't think this would work since in ssl iirc you agree on a symmetric encryption key which is then used to encrypt the rest of the request response cycle.
i love them.

They could easily take half the cars off the road and transform downtown.

They're more convenient and a fraction of the cost of an uber, and they're fun to ride.

People should not be riding them on the sidewalks, i'm expecting that to change quickly.
Honestly, I don't. I was merely wondering whether people are even able to make money doing this.

This is akin to, "are indie devs making money on the App Store in 2018?"

That's also true in Greece. Almost everyone can read the Latin alphabet fine, in addition to the Greek alphabet. The exceptions are mainly older people. It's only 26 letters and it's absolutely everywhere nowadays, in addition to being taught formally in schools, so it's not really a big problem to pick it up. Learning the actual languages to a good level is another story of course, but the alphabet itself isn't the difficult part.

> For city planners, there's a natural hierarchy of roads: limited-access freeways, arterials, collectors, and residential streets

No it is not natural. it was invented half a century ago and maybe that hierarchy is a mistake. It creates artificial segregation between places that are geometrically near each other, especially for non-motor modes of transport and for short trips. And it creates natural hub chokepoints at every merge onto a bigger road.

I'm a big fan of the Manhattan approach -- just have a big ass grid with much less distinction between so many hierarchies. Bonus points if you make one axis have one ways with "green wave" traffic light timings (this means in low to medium congestion, a driver never hits any red lights! Like a freeway, but mad cheap)

The nice thing about a real grid is it is insanely resilient. There is a capacity to absorb a huge amount of thoroighput and route around huge amounts of temporary blockage, even if latency isn't great (at least in a high demand place like Manhattan -- in a more modest town it could make traffic insanely fast if one way green waves are used). Eg If 41st street is blocked, 39th and 43rd work, and if those are clogged, so does 37th and 45th, etc. BTW the fact that there is a linearly increasing cost to using a parallel street is a feature not a bug; it dampens induced demand while still making the capacity available in proportion to its actual demand. Just adding more lanes to a single freeway is not as effective for this reason.

I think artificially forcing traffic into scale free graphs with chokepoints every place you switch hierarxhy levels may have been quite a mistake. Those chokepoints are always clogged.
Let's call it what it is: a fabrication. The people who created Drew Cloud are liars. And they lie for money.

In my view this should mark the end of their careers. They should be welcomed to see the error of their ways and try again with better ethics. Unfortunately this is not how it will go. There is great demand for professional liars, and these authors will not have to stop and think over.

If you're going to lie, make sure your motives are above personal gain.

Well, have I just binned the entire industry of ghostwriters as liars over this minor outrage? Or is it different if the person I'm writing for actually exists? I'll have to mull this over.

Gemnote (YC S15) Hiring Senior Engineer/CTO
My team and I have built a successful business with Gemnote, having grown it 150% YoY since YC, profitable since 2016, despite raising very little money from investors.

Our clients include Airbnb, Box, Google, Facebook, Slack, Starbucks, Stripe, Zendesk and more.

A major portion of our code-base was written by contractors, which made it messy, so we're scrapping it. We're hiring a senior engineer or CTO to rebuild it from the ground up, having a huge say in product and team. If you join, you'll get to be the architect of a greenfield codebase that has an established business need. You can build it up in whatever framework you think is best with no technical debt to contend with.

Would love to talk with you if you're interested! You can email me at ashley@gemnote.com
I guess my question about what you've described is: can't I just give you my money, you do this for me with my money, and you make a cut off of it?

In other words, what products can I buy that basically do what you're doing already?
Honest question from a less than A1 level Russian student... Is there really a significant difference between the two? I have no doubt that there is different vocabulary etc. and of course that there are political reasons to count them as different languages but are they effectively mutually intelligible?
Here in Brazil, in a public university, I saw a policeman (among others) cheating on exams and professors knowingly ignoring it. Just one case, there were many others.

Beware of Brazilians. The de facto rule here is "fuck everybody not in my circle".
I’m curious about the moral qualms bit. I suppose I was raised differently (and in NZ/Australia, too) by my parents, but I read an article recently that was on HN about a man who lost maybe $110,000 servicing an underwater mortgage that was due to the GFC. Where do those “morals” stem from?
That's one way to look at it, sure, my problem with the term "winning" is that it implies an inflexible, omni-important, and universal metric. We're all clear who "won" a given event or game, but that's not how life works, and if you try to gamify life you're prone to justifying just about anything in the name of "winning" by whatever metric you choose. And if you make the world a worse place because of it? Well, what were you supposed to do, lose?

In the context of life, it is ok to lose. It is ok to not be the best, to not ever find your niche, to never really feel like you've succeeded, be lazy, or make mistakes. It's even ok not to give it your all. You don't have to be the winner, it's ok just to be.
The "S" and "Command" keys kept falling off on my '16 MBP. Replaced them at $12/piece a few days ago from an online store.

My issue appears to have been the brackets on the keys themselves perhaps broke or wore down over time due to how impressively fast and heroically accurate I type.

Update on My Stolen Book (and Job) on Amazon
You can't banish scarcity by denying it. Fertile females have always been scarce. And that's a good thing, as it's a primary driver of evolution. Frustrated men will always be with us and will continue to take their pain out on everyone around them, sometimes tragically. This dynamic is a major force in history, e.g. incentivising more warfare by polygamist cultures.

Sexbots have the potential to change this, at an existential risk to our species.

Here's hoping that your own bubble of plentiful sexual partners is never burst.
I write for a living. Jumped on the new MacBok Pro without test driving it. ouldd not type with out making lots of errors. Gave it to my daughter and went with an Airbook. She bought a separate keyboard to use with the Macbook.

Well reflexively referring to the DEFINITION of a WORD is not an argument. When there are no dedicated cycleways, either pedestrians share with at least some cyclists or scooterists or you have children cycling on the road.
It doesn’t, said that in the article. She did ask for a male, and I see no reason why she shouldn't get one. Besides, a man on staff that is has stronger hands for back or foot rubs would probably be appreciated by the men as well.

Created an account just to comment on this.

I live in an English-speaking country but know Russian. Because of where I live, and because the Internet is like 99% English, I type in US-English layout 99.9% of the time.

When the time comes to write in Russian I just have no muscle memory since I never use it, and it becomes a really slow process.

An interesting tool is transliteration, where you can type a Latin letter or combination that sounds roughly the same as a Cyrillic letter, and the tool converts it to the Cyrillic equivalent for you. I use this: http://translit.net.

However I haven't noticed anything wrong with the Cyrillic layout by any means. I'm just not used to it. Maybe the guy you saw was in the same position. This is the case for most Russians who live in countries that use the Latin alphabet. It shouldn't reflect poorly on the Russian keyboard layout.
Does too. Finnish, for example, has a 29-letter alphabet, because diacritics count separately: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finnish_orthography

That said, letter with diacritic vs separate letter is a surprisingly fraught topic, the same character can be considered a letter in one language and not a letter in another. Look up collation rules in European languages for a real nightmare...

Maybe previous versions had a better "dust keepout" or the contact pad is larger so more resistant to dust.
Most libertarians would say that roads should be paid for by users, not by people through taxes. Some of them might claim that gas taxes amount to a user fee, but I actually don't see that claim too much from libertarians (gas taxes don't pay close to the cost of maintaining roads).

On the other hand, libertarians are not a particularly large segment of the population. The segment of people who merely don't want to pay for what they don't themselves use is a much larger segment than libertarians, and while it may sound libertarian at first glance, it's really not (they want others to pay for their needs even if the others don't use it).

Another confounding factor is that transit tends to be used by Them. And God forbid government does anything to benefit Them, especially if it doesn't benefit Us but hurts Us instead.
The most famous write in person is also a fabrication: Ann Landers.
I think it was probably me you were arguing with. I disagree that we live in a world where people don’t value privacy. Rather, I think that most reasonable people understand that not all data is created equal. They expect even more privacy today than they’ve ever had on things that everyone wants to be private - think medical records - but are quite happy to publicly share other data, such as what they had for lunch, and expect no privacy around this type of data. These two ideals can peacefully coexist.

So it is because Facebook is primarily meant for the latter type of data that most people outside of a very vocal minority don’t have a problem with their privacy practices. That, combined with legislation that will decimate any chance for the rise of a viable Facebook competitor (such as GDPR), is why their numbers will continue to grow for decades to come.
I just went through something similar, getting the display replaced for $700.

While that was in the shop, I bought a similarly spec'd used Thinkpad for under $500 and like it more in almost every way.
Vitalk was originally a bitcoin developer who proposed extending the op codes to make a more general purpose computer, and only started Ethereum after he encountered resistance to the idea. I don’t think anyone was claiming bitcoin wasn’t prior work.
Do you know of another more objective source, though?

Other folks are citing Github and Stack Overflow, but they are just reporting on proportions used on their own sites, and I would not be at all surprised to find that both those sites are more popular with web developers than say Java or C/C++/C# or Visual Basic devs (all those languages outrank javascript on Tiobe).
You are equating being pro-life and unconventionally anti-execution with being a murderer.
I think there's a difference between crimes for which we empathise with the motivation, and crimes for which we don't.

If he got caught selling heroin or murdered his wife after she left him, we could understand why he did that - he wanted money, he was very upset and did the wrong thing, etc. - but in the case of flashing, I think the motivation is a black box to most people. Not understanding why he did it makes it hard to predict whether he'll do it again, or what else he'll do, because it throws his whole decision-making process into doubt.
I suppose it depends on what your theme and goals are for the podcast but it might be a good idea to keep a slot open for a different guest each episode instead of finding a permanent 4th member.

Having outside guests on your show who bring in fresh points of fiew is a great way to keep the content from degenerating into a series of inside jokes between you and your co-hosts.

I have found it generally isn't that hard to talk well known people to join you for a 45 minute recording since they are already usually working on finding ways to get their message out / build their brand, etc. already. Depending on the domain, a many of them actually pay people to help them get booked on podcasts for this very purpose.

Again, I have no idea what your ambitions are or if this would suit your theme. This is just what I have picked up from observing the more successful users of my podcast recording service. Shameless plug, sorry :/

Anyway, if you and your co-hosts or guests aren't able to recording together in a studio, you might give the service a try. You can use the coupon code WELCOME for 20% off your first the months. If applied to an annual plan, the discount will apply for the entire year.

Good luck with it and let me know if I can help with anything other wise.
This time, it may actually be readable and should disclose with whom your data is shared with.
Self's inventors intended the ideas to be applied to other languages, and aspired to reform and bring about a new age of Smalltalk, but Sun co-opted it to turbo-charge Java via HotSpot, and eventually the same ideas found their way into V8 and other JavaScript VMs. So even if the language itself didn't deeply influence JavaScript, the VM did indirectly.

You're just backing up the stereotype of an English speaker unfortunately.

Cyrilic is extremely easy to learn, you can do it in under an hour, and even in Russia most places that tourists interact will have latin and cyrilic versions of the same text (on the metro, etc).

Not too surprising to me as the only popular American brand cars I see are muscle cars (Mustang, Challenger, and Charger). Thought that might be just a California thing, but looks like Ford thinks it is the trend for all of N. America.
Its more like traditional buyers of a Taurus are buying an Explorer instead. The new Explorers drive much better than the old truck-based models, and get about the same MPG as the Taurus, but carry 7 people or 5 people and all the luggage and christmas presents for the week with grandparents. I've got a track focused mustang and the explorer is surprisingly fun to drive, both around corners, on the freeway and around big bear.
> When you use RTFM, you’re saying, “Not only am I not going to help you, but I also want to make sure that you feel ashamed about your inability to help yourself.”

Maybe. Or perhaps I’m saying “You don’t need me or anyone to give you answers; be empowered to find them on your own.”

Or “This question is disrespectful as I know that that if you put forth a little effort in seeking an answer, you’d find one; therefore, you assume your time is more valuable than mine.”

Or...
> That's a bad comparison. Clubs like those, especially at a public college actually

I feel like we have our wires crossed - the parent was talking about university/college policy and not social media.

I'm saying if universities/colleges want to police speech for any offensive content then they need to apply the policy uniformly and ban the atheist and communist clubs.

> but it's not as prominent as you might think, at least on the public college level.

I think the crazy preachers are a bad example - a normal person who just wants to give an interesting talk does not want to put up with screaming protestors. They don't want the stress. They don't have a security detail. Etc.

The people who don't mind are the crazy preachers and the people who get paid for controversy like Milo.

The moderates have already been de-platformed.
So what is your solution? Marxism? Communism? Anarchy?
Not me, no. But if you've got a good money manager they can/will do this sort of thing if you ask. Otherwise, this is sort of how a hedge fund works--delta neutral portfolio management. You can always try to join one of those.
