Lightning might be great mechanically, but from a practical usage point of view it's a pain.

Wired headphone solutions are just nasty. It's gone from a position where I could use the same 3.5mm jack on basically any phone, laptop or PC, to a situation where I either go for lots of dongles, which is an extra expense and also tends not work perfectly or I buy multiple sets of headphones for different devices, which isn't great if you want moderately expensive ANC kit.

The idea that I can buy an Apple laptop, and Apple phone and then have to buy multiple additional dongles and cables to effectively connect the two is just bizarre.

Realistically it would be better if Apple standardised on USB-C for phone and had a mix of USB-A/USB-C on laptops for a period of time whilst peripherals catch up.

I'd go with GitHub, your potential users/contributors have a higher probability of having an account on GitHub which makes it easy for contributions. Moreover, there are a hundred free CI/CD services which work with GitHub and not GitLab.
For sure it is, and that one is almost reasonable, as meters tend to be used more than miles or km for elevation.

> I found it quite painful to type on for more than about 20 minutes

I keep hearing this. I've been using the new keyboard for > 1 yr and I literally have no complaints. I have adjusted my typing style to a bit lighter of a touch as the keys don't travel as far, but I've not experienced any discomfort.
What? I just read the link and one thing it says is that

> In general, however, an average of 85% of genetic variation exists within local populations, ~7% is between local populations within the same continent, and ~8% of variation occurs between large groups living on different continents (Lewontin 1972; Jorde et al. 2000a). The recent African origin theory for humans would predict that in Africa there exists a great deal more diversity than elsewhere and that diversity should decrease the further from Africa a population is sampled.

Which is literally what the GP said.

You should put up or not make drive-by comments.
I have one at work. The keyboard is so loud that I can’t type in meetings anymore. If people didn’t know I was bored before, holy shit do they know now.

I also find the new touchpad twitchy and not as good at ignoring palm input.
That's frankly rubbish. Chapter 2 of the Acts of the Apostles tells how the Apostles speak in tongues and Acts 2,9-10 lists the nations that were in Jerusalem for Shavuot: Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, 10 Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome.

Given, this is early 1st century AD Jerusalem, not Greece, but classical Athens was no less cosmopolitan, and the gymnosophists were well attested in Alexander the Great's time.
Interestingly, for you in particular, pretty much all of the evils of European colonialism throughout the world are in scope.

That's because you downthread hazarded the argument that perhaps (compared, implicitly, to Africans on the African continent) African Americans were better off as a result of slavery.

That's a reprehensible argument, but at least it puts you on the hook for points like these.

It costs money to draw, test, process, transport and infuse blood. The British healthcare system is single-payer and incredibly efficient, but an NHS hospital pays the NHS blood service £124.46 ($168.59) for a unit of red blood cells.

Paying donors for blood was a major contributory factor in the tainted blood scandal of the late 1980s and early 1990s; there's an unpleasantly large overlap in the Venn diagram of "people who are desperate for cash" and "intravenous drug users".

When I first encountered the command-line in college my Prof introduced me to VI and the basic bash commands, but I wasn't familiar with any other scripting languages, (or even, if memory serves, the concept of a 'scripting language'). As a result, I ended up creating a pretty dizzying array of ed scripts until someone introduced me to sed and the fact you can use bash as a scripting language.

> Thats the point though. It should be moved into long term storage after that and not stay in the pool that needs to be cooled.

Whose point? I'm genuinely curious if there's credible evidence that there's waste being needlessly cooled. This also smells like a false dichotomy to me, as there are other options besides the pool and moving to long-term storage.

> Transporting is not the issue you make it out to be.

Specifically, the only issue I'm alleging is that the overall risk of an environmental contamination/release incident increases with transport to central storage rather than storing the waste on site. That's my recollection of what I had read when I last looked into it. Do you have something (perhaps recent) to refute that?

> Transport on trains has been a regular spectacle for decades in Europe

I did specify the US, since I was responding to a comment complaining about Yucca Mountain.

The spectacle may well inure people to the risk, but the actual risk remains. It may even be higher if it's an attractive nuisance for terrorists.

> In the best case you have to move them once the plant gets dismantled which simply makes the final costs higher.

I'm not sure I follow why this is, then, the best case, nor why the final costs would be any higher if transport is delayed until decomissioning.

> To be a competitive power source the production price needs to also include the budget for waste management

Here I agree with you, but I think it's a mistake, even naive, to dictate in advance how to handle that waste, especially since you yourself go on to point out the pitfalls of "final" storage.

Today's waste could be tomorrow's fuel

Still, I don't think waste management is the (cost) issue you make it out to be, especially compared to failures like Fukushima and Chernobyl. Rare, ultra-expensive catastrophes are much more difficult to price in and are, arguably, what have really been killing nuclear, politically, if not economically.
You're negative. Are you depressed?
Why is this antigen so rare? Is it not something that can be grown and manufactured in a lab. We know of at least a few people that produce it naturally, have studies been done to simulate the process that occurs naturally?
Same quote stated more directly (emphasis mine):

> It is often stated that the fixation index for humans is about 0.15. This translates to an estimated 85% of the variation measured in the overall human population is found within individuals of the same population, and about 15% of the variation occurs between populations. These estimates imply that any two individuals from different populations are almost as likely to be more similar to each other than either is to a member of their own group

You're giving them a bit too little credit. At least the alt-rights that I occasionally chat with certainly do not see the europeans as a monolithic block. Only central european and nordics are considered "true aryans" while eastern and southern europe are considered second class at best and you'll find slurs like "olive niggers" too.

There even are neat infographics about various genetic markers associated with different populations.

[1] Sharon Drew Morgen's Buying Facilitation

Its message, "buyers don't know how to buy", helps make sense of some of the controversy in this thread. If you're hiring 100 software engineers, god help you if you don't know how to hire. But if you're hiring your first CFO, say, it's more likely that you "don't know how to hire", and that a commanding (yet polite) interviewee will be helpful.

Sharon Drew Morgen emphasizes the process of questioning and the "systemic" nature of the uptake. Again, more relevant for a "big hire" than a dozens per year hire. If you're the first CFO ever hired, especially, it makes sense to help the hiring team think through how the company will adjust to having that new role and whether they've done the necessary groundwork for those adjustments.

[2] The Challenger Sale

Similar, but with an emphasis on the content. Do your research in advance to figure out how your type of widgets solves specific problems that most of your customers have.

The hiring analogue again fits best for "big hires". E.g. "since this is your first CFO, a big part of the job will be to straighten out the ad hoc financial routines that have grown up so far. I have the necessary great financial/accounting skills, but I'm also a great listener/researcher with the people skills to bring people into more constraining routines."

Having a mirror on github is a common practice, but unfortunately, while you can turn off the issue tracker, github does not support turning off pull requests. So, you either need to include a prominent note that pull requests will be ignored and closed, or alternatively, have a workflow for handling github pull requests via whatever site you do use.
>He says his theory does not have the asymmetry associated with the Standard Model. The reason we cannot easily detect the dark matter is that, in the observerse, when space is relatively flat, the left-handed and right-handed spaces would become disconnected and the two sides would not be aware of each other.

With this tiny drip of information about the theory, I might speculate why it might turn out to not be experimentally supported. Dark matter is known to not interact with itself very much (it doesn't clump up like regular matter but rather forms halos) which would tend to indicate that it's not a mirror universe with symmetric laws of physics.

Edit:
If we still haven't seen a preprint (the title was edited to say that the article was from 2013), then it may have not faired well after someone that knew a lot about experiments reviewed it. I'm curious to see what happened.
Interesting... do you have more information on this? Haven't read about it yet and would like to know more.
Oh would I love to do hardware (as I got into software through hardware itself)! But I feel the project will become too broad, and wouldn't be for any one group.

Your comment is completely random and detached from the topic - i.e., failing butterfly keyboards.
I have encountered Lenovo integrating the keyboard on other some of their models while helping friends with repairs. Of course, the top case replacement was not so insanely expensive, but it was still a point of frustration from the repair perspective. Certainly disappointed in Apple making the same move here.
This is awesome. Keep up the good work! Also really like that you're going lean on the frontend side. I miss days when sites are fast like this. :)
> Euclidean geometry is self consistent but not consistent with general relativity. The triangle inequality doesn’t hold when there is a large mass near the hypotenuse.

What has one to do with the other? Am I missing some important context here, because the statement "euclidean geometry is not consistent with general relativity" doesn't make any sense to me. Euclidean geometry is mathematical abstraction built out of axioms that were chosen to sorta match our intuitive understanding of space. Relativity is a physics theory that uses some different mathematical geometry built out of different axioms, chosen so that resulting geometry would better fit observational data. And Gödelian consistency has nothing to do with physics at all, it considers mathematical constructs.

Biases: An Introduction
Since we're at linguistics of colour you might want to know that in modern Greek, the word for "tanning" is "blackening".
I don't disagree with the article but I just want to make sure we all know ancient Greeks weren't actually black.
You can argue that they weren't "white", at least with the modern American definitions, but there has never been any indication of them being black, you know, like Africans. It's not like their only difference with Caucasians is skin colour, you'd expect the morphological characteristics to show on sculptures too.
The idea that Greeks were somehow black is purely the result of revisionist tendencies of modern African-American movements.
>Is this short ratio atypical?

I wouldn't say so. There are other heavily shorted stocks that have a much higher short ratio because of their small float (e.g. MTCH).

>but is there a good way to determine who?

Short sellers don't have to disclose their positions, unlike investors who're long the stock. You can try to get a better sense of who's thinking what through headlines and analyst notes/reports.

> Your argument was that almost all creative professions have auditions similar to whiteboard interviews

No it wasn't. Feel free to re-read my original comment[1]. My point was not that they have auditions, it's that the auditions don't closely mirror what they'll actually be doing if they get the gig (which is one of, if not the, most common complaint about whiteboarding).

However, it seems your primary concern is that the whiteboarding is done in front of an "audience" - I can sympathize with that but there's going to be an audience (by your definition of the word) regardless of the structure of the interview, i.e. your "looking through a past portfolio of work" example[2] is still discussing your work to an audience (as opposed to creating new work on the spot) and is still very dissimilar to the actual day-to-day work (N.B. I've never actually been an "illustrator, a graphic designer, a writer, or an architect" but I'm pretty sure their days aren't spent just sitting around discussing their portfolios).

> Perhaps it's time to look at similar industries and spend some time trying to figure out if we are really so different instead of insisting that programming is so uniquely challenging that it requires such a controversial interview process

Perhaps I'm mistaken (I'm by no means an expert on the history of our profession) but my understanding is whiteboarding interviews are a relatively new phenomenon (i.e. last decade or two) and presumably programming interviews prior to that were more similar to many other disciplines. It seems unlikely (though certainly possible) that our entire industry would move away from that if it didn't have major shortcomings.

If you feel you have found a better way to hire developers than what most of the industry does I would encourage you not just to use it for the interviews you conduct but also to share your thoughts and findings with others via a blog or maybe even a book. Either would certainly have more potential impact than debating the issue with me in a buried thread of a day old HN discussion. It's been an interesting discussion and you've motivated me to research the history of software dev interviews, best of luck to you in your career and interviews.

I like HN for what it is, I get to learn form a variety of topics I wouldn't have encountered otherwise. Discover dev was made to solve another pain point - I prefer tech only news, like a bunch of in depth articles without any commentary.

The idea was that engineering teams all over the world produce some really great content on their blogs, but find it hard to get any traction given all the SEO optimised blog spam, so I wanted to create a resource that would promote the good articles to those who seek it.
Later I also expanded to include a couple of tech publications like Hackernoon, code mentor, etc (but you'd be surprised at the number of blog spam and blockchain articles that get produced there - I filter out all but the interesting / in-depth ones).
