I split the work 50/50 with my wife for the most part. We both had work shifts, so arranged things so when one was working the other looked after the girls. It was hard on our relationship, but worked out for the best.

It's incredibly hard work, and draining because they are potentially in danger almost all the time. We were lucky enough to have two girls 15 months apart, which is more work sometimes, and less others because they played a lot together. However some of my fondest memories of spending time with my daughters is from that time.
So there are 2197188 games in that file.

Extracting only the lines with "[Result]" in them into new file (using grep) takes about 3 seconds.

Importing that into a local Postgres database on my laptop takes about 1.5 seconds.

Then running a simple:

select result, count(*)
from results
group by result;

Takes about 0.5 seconds.

So the total process took only 5 seconds (and now I can run much more aggregation queries on that)

Honestly, I own a Google Home and I love it. I've tried Amazon Echo so many times and the entire experience is terrible in comparison.

I also wish Google Home wasn't made by Google -- because well I'm anti-Google owning everything.
Umm, read further through his comments. Most of them are blatant lies about Apple/Microsoft/Amazon. He’s the closest to a paid Google shill that I’ve seen on HN

If you read the article, one of the primary things it focuses on is: to what we should attribute the _decline_ of geographic labor mobility. If you're going to claim that it's obviously "wanting to feel like you belong", you need a simple theory for why the desire to stay put would have increased, especially during a period when the incentives to move have grown dramatically (i.e., the "opportunity gap").

In particular, the article quite obviously isn't wondering why every single resident of rural Ohio hasn't packed up and moved to Manhattan. They're wondering why (to take the county they focused on), a smaller chunk of the 64% of unemployed adults in Adams County, has left than would have in the past.

Not to mention the fact that we're not talking about striving for more: in most severe cases, the individual economic issues aggregate to municipal ones, which can affect quality of life fairly significantly. Just off the top of my head, the article mentioned increasingly understaffed gov't, plummeting school funding, and an increasingly strained law-enforcement and judicial system.

Again, if you actually bothered to read the article, it's not a question of why people aren't striking out from their cozy suburban life to take their shot in the big city. It's focusing on why the number of people willing to leave dying local economies has declined so sharply. As part of the article puts it, there's been a reversal in the correlation between poverty and geographic labor mobility, from positive to negative.

Again, I recommend reading the article posted (it's the link at the top of the comments page), and maybe you'l understand a little better what's being discussed here and what the "mystery" in question is.

Judge: President Trump blocking people on Twitter is unconstitutional
300 million transactions in 9 years is ridiculously low compared to any "fiat" currency. Googling around I find a post that gives a lower bound for number of debit card transactions in the USA alone as 47 billions for 2012 alone[1]. That's not counting the rest of the world and the other exchange media like cash or bank transfers. 300 million transactions is nothing. I mean thing about it, it's one single transaction for every person in the USA over the course of 9 years. Alternatively it's less one transaction per year for the entire population of Canada.

Amazon alone probably handles more transactions over the course of a couple of weeks.

It’s not perfect, but I’ve started using Apple more.

Google has picked up some “Wazy” over-aggressive routing tendencies and over optimizes at times. I think they have the problem of having too much actionable information about traffic and not enough about the road. Neither google or Waze groks traffic lights in particular.

For one route I take, if there is a 5 minute traffic jam, it will always reroute me onto a path that has long traffic lights and left turns that add 10-15m to the trip.

Apple reroutes around accidents and closures typically.

The discussion comes down to whether a significant amount of websites (in absolute numbers) will break. The article hints to "extensive telemetry" to figure out the number of affected sites but doesn't cite any numbers. On the other hand you don't cite any numbers or empirical evidence either.
Asked a lawyer: If Instapaper doesn't delete the data from its EU users tomorrow, all the rules of the GDPR might still fall on their head. Most likely, they are then storing EU user data without given consent and have to follow all the requests about data storage, use, deletion and so on. Denying service without data deletion is not an option.
They don't need regulation to do that, though

The current explanation from the professional Go community is that, duking it out in the middle is far too complex for humans to master. So maybe it's not so much that corner positions are better than edge positions, which are better than center positions; it's just that the center area is far too complex to yield to human analysis.
> it’s not entirely clear right now what information residents will request,

If they ask for something specific in an informal way, that can be provided

But from the GDPRs data portability point of view, it's everything that's linked to the account. Export your Facebook data for a good example of this.

HN example: it would be the information in your profile, the links/text you submitted (but not the content of the link itself), the comments (the comment IDs) you upvoted, stories flagged/upvoted (for the lenght of time this is kept, for example, if after a while user ids that upvoted a comment are erased and only the score is kept, that's fine) and maybe some other background information (for example: password hashes/access logs/etc)

> what format that information needs to be in,

Machine readable format. HTML/XML/JSON is fine.

> how to locate it and package it, and whether new infrastructure needs to be created to manage this request pipeline.

Well that's not the problem of the law, is it?

You know your data scheme. You know whether you can run this in your existing infrastructure or not.

> GDPR has caused some panic that's unnecessary.

Maybe some companies have overreacted, but dismissing them feels a bit like blaming the user for bad UX.

Couldn't you argue that a law that causes a panicked overreaction was a poorly written law in at least one respect, given that laws have a communicative function?

Especially if all these complaints were raised well in advance of the passage of the law, so that the drafters had plenty of warning that several groups were struggling to understand the text?

At home? No, you shouldn't be responsible, since you're relying in good faith on the services of a purportedly-qualified professional.

On an industrial worksite? Absolutely, the owner should be responsible for safety. Otherwise it's too easy for big companies to throw up their hands and say "oh, that tower crane that collapsed and killed a bunch of people on our construction project? Sorry, it's owned by a shell company in China. Good luck collecting any damages from us!"
It does give a bit more interactivity, but had it been up to me the majority of the logic would be server side with a bit of client side JavaScript. The amount of duplicated code for a very small amount of extra interactivity really doesn't seem worth the effort to me.
No if your using freely broadcast info to help with geolocation harvesting it all on the vehicle and processing to extract the info you want centrally is the optimal way to do it.
I for one really like this rename for search reasons.
Now it is a single unambiguous word: macos. Where before people used the variations: osx, os x, mac os x. Depending on how smart the search engine was you would either get to few or to many results, eg: github issue search. Some search engines even ignore 3 letter words altogether.
It will take a while of course for everyone to adopt the new name in their writing.
I know there is a punchline somewhere here, but I am failing to find it. Can you explain?
It's an odd experience for me personally, not an odd experience for the cosmos.
This is not true, browsers have removed language features before, typically for security reasons.

Kick-Starting a Revolution Using AI to Automate Atomic-Scale Manufacturing
Their job is actively harmful, because they exist to prey on the class of people that can't see through their bullshit. I agree that they are the low-level operators (and therefore perhaps not worth the effort to punish), but I do think it is high time we start viewing predatory sales as exactly what it is: predatory.
It is possible, but I think the committees would prefer to avoid too many "modes" which makes specification and testing much more complex. Just think about the complexity caused by having "quirks" and "standards" rendering modes. In this case the issue could be resolved with a simple (if slightly awkward) rename which is certainly preferable to forking all the JavaScript engines.
That all mental and physical reactions presented by all living things do not yield a true bearing of value. Every entity in the universe reacts with every other entity it comes accross to produce an outcome and nothing more. Being ecstatic bears no difference in value of being tortured.
>When I was young my father stuck me in front of a publication from the bureau of labor statistics that gave the long term outlook for every occupation they track. It was really great advice that every kid should see

This is more of the kind of thing I wish kids were shown.

Not only show them and teach them skills they'll need the very second they graduate high school, god forbid they are on their own or have no family to rely on. How are we expecting newly graduated 18 year olds to be true participating adults in our society when education teaches them nothing of value?

At least if public schools took a more vocational approach and showed students career tracks with all sorts of options and branches for people with a given set of skills they could at least tuck that information in the back of their mind, they'd know their options and they'd likely gravitate toward working towards the things that they feel they are best suited for.

When they aren't sure that's when teachers, guidance counselors, professionals in different markets (who come in and do assemblies / talks) and parents come into play to help guide a student who isn't quite sure. It's not easy for a pre-adult to decide their career but what I'm really saying and really wanting to see is at least some more emphasis on reminding those kids that life's not all about college. More important that college is creating a comfortable life for yourself and potentially your family and to do that you need to learn how to create value for an employee or society (if you start your own business) before you graduate. Not many companies want to hire people to pay and train them if they have no skills and experience and things like that are becoming more and more rare outside of the trades -- and even then a lot of the artisans and tradespeople seem like a closed off wall if not the type of career most students have been "brain washed" (for lack of a better / less devious word) that blue collar service jobs are below them.

Maybe work study programs for all high school juniors (16/17) and seniors (17/18) in different sorts of service and white collar jobs to give them an idea of how a business works with both blue and white collar workers forming together in a company to make products or offer services. Something to give those students some insight into the way things really are.

Future of Project Management: Riter Development Strategy
This is my favorite mobile game of all time. The AI is also very weird (in a good way) and sometimes genius! It feels like the custom maps I used to create with "Age of Empires II" in which I let random units fight against each other.
One component of the 'gamers are lazy' stereotype probably comes from the fact that most of the people authoring that opinion are the gamers' parents; who'll just perceive it in the way they will. They are also the generation which like to hear their opinions reflected in prime-time news, which gladly obliges.

Gaming is ubiquitous, in another decade I imagine that attitude will be on the way out.

Those are the obvious points though, I think it's more interesting to think about how the mechanical and repetitive aspects of gaming replace a naive, deep drive for precise actions which demand focus and skill, and move chaotic or unordered things towards some goal. In the 20thC that was probably fixing cars or working in a factory or building stuff. Good ways for satisfying the drive, if you have it.

And in a nice continuation of this relationship, the more that AI replaces work, the more I think leisure, work and gaming will coincide. Many gaming environments are good examples of behavioural economics in action: incentives, rewards, how changes to game balance (even perceived changes to balance) or the price/availability of cosmetics nudge or shove player behaviour... We could stab guesses at how to implement these patterns in a way that considers them economic activity.

I don't think gaming necessarily has to be 'better' than life for it to take up a great deal of it. It just has to have the right kinds of 'APIs' to satisfy that messy, obsessive, predatory/reward-loop hunger which appears in most men and plenty of women.

My central thesis is that a couple of decades leads us basically to the Matrix (though I'm hoping for a sunnier version).
Same here, but reached the conclusion it was hinting at gaming the system.
Your comment is missing its [2011] tag.
IMO anything with the line "basically solve happiness" and posted as part of the effective altruism _movement_ deserve zero mental energy
Not an expert either, but the gist I got from previous threads is that the problem is distinguishing from objects which are obstacles from others which aren't (e.g. because you'll turn before hitting it). According to Techcrunch, that's also what happened in the Uber manslaughter - the system detected the pedestrian but didn't consider her a real obstacle to the car.

That said, the impression I get is that Tesla's system is worse than even their initial version (provided by Mobileye).

Shut up and take my money!

I've often thought I'd love a row of seats to be swapped out for four beds, one on top of another. But being able to sleep in the cargo hold is better than nothing. The airline could earn more than the cargo itself, at the added bonus of using less fuel.

Am sure a few of them will be all over this.
It doesn't. But if you notice you might be doing something illegal, it's a great first step towards compliance to stop doing _more_ of it.

Here, Instapaper is likely not misusing user data, but has to catch up on compliance documentation and small details (e.g. signing data processing agreements with services they use, raising the age limit from 13 to 16, …)
You are correct. The longest chain is accepted as the correct one, so if you have 51% hashpower and secretly mine while maintaining majority hashpower the whole time, your chain will be longer and you can publish it at any time, and effectively rewrite recent history.
[YouTube] experimenting with how to show content in the subs feed
I'll agree that this makes it easier. But why? Have you ever, in your life, needed to do this? Do you know anyone who has? Have you heard of anyone who has?

This problem sometimes comes up in thought experiments, and sometimes involves convoluted solutions such as bouncing signals off of celestial bodies to produce a time delay.

I have never needed to do this. And either way the actual cost for society to do this with blockchains is huge, in energy. You're not paying it, but the cost is there.

Or you could just do it the traditional way: Put it on pastebin. Hell, put it on a couple of cloud services, who will likely have logs about upload times.

Maybe there are cases, where you want to guard yourself against someone reinventing your industry secret and claiming IP theft saying you copied them. It won't help against a patent lawsuit, I'm pretty sure, since you didn't publish. And publishing is the trade you make with society in order to get monopoly for 18-20 years via a patent.

But more importantly: This NEVER needs to be a blockchain. This is not a use for a blockchain. There is nothing chain about it. You just want your blob signed. You could build a service in a weekend that does nothing but sign "I saw the following hash on 2018-05-24: 82390182903120", and run it for no cost (not 0.5% of world electricity). Send your hash to 100 places and boom, done.
I believe MS has also moved away from its various JS modes.

I suspect that the cost (in both maintenance hours and performance overhead) to maintain parallel JS engines is extremely non-trivial.
And Perl is 1000% better than awk/sed when my company got switched to unix based systems we all got sent on a weeks crash course this included sed and awk.

I have only used sed once to edit the passwd file on an early linix system when vi wasn't installed and awk never. Though having being trained in sed and awk helped with picking up Perl

If you live in New York, New Jersey, California, etc, a large percentage/majority of homeowners are impacted by the $10k cap.

But you need to clear $24k in deductions (as a married couple) to even take that deduction.

The average homeowner loses, as they can’t cross the threshold, and every marginal state/local tax dollar costs 15-25% more than it did before.

What makes you apparently think

1) the current state of affairs is good enough coming from anyone in the BigCorp top10, particularily those already involved un data collection as core business?

2) future iterations on any of [hardware, software, business goals] will be conform to currently reasonable expectation of use from the general public ?

I mean we're talking about a corp that has internalised "Bait and Switch" as core business model..
There are certainly some people like you, but they are in the minority.

With regards to Tesla's liability, I don't see what difference it should make whether Tesla or Mark III Construction is to blame for the accident. "I employed a negligent subcontractor" isn't really much of a legal defense.
JQuery works fine for most stuff. Not every app needs to be implemented as a SPA app, in fact I think many are better of with a more traditional architecture and a bit of jQuery. These days even jQuery doesn't seem especially necessary.

There's been reports of CP on the bitcoin blockchain for years. Only recently did I see a mainstream article about it, but that may be because nobody cared about bitcoin years ago (because now people only care because greed).

I'm not going to verify this claim, since it'd involve possessing CP, and I'm not touching that.

I'm sorry to hear that; I was in a somewhat similar position for different reasons some time ago. The bright side is: because of the large number of transplants, this is probably one of the easiest places to make friends. It's not a skill that's particularly natural, since most people are used to having a community instead of having to build one from scratch, but it's pretty vital in an increasingly socially-atomized world. I don't want to be bossy, but I really really really recommend investing actual time in it. I can tell you from experience: it's just not healthy to not have a social group around you.

I moved to San Francisco with a handful of friends, but I had a facsimile of your problem due to some unrecognized health issues that made my social life wither away, along with some bad luck with the timing of people moving away. I had to start from scratch to build a friend group here, but it turns out there are tons of people doing the same thing, and it couldn't be easier. Even if you just go to social Meetups to meet people, it can be very easy to get a good group around you just by repeatedly putting yourself out there. It does take work: there were times when i felt lazy but would force myself to go to some random outing to foster a friendship with someone who I got along with, or saw movies that I wasn't all that crazy about, but it really paid off in spades.

The closest friends from the group I've built up over the last three or four years from nothing are basically like family to me at this point, and the feeling is mutual. They're the kind of friends whose house I can drop by on a weeknight more or less randomly (assuming they're not out), and just hang out until everyone falls asleep/I go home.

Even if you decide that this is not where you want to put roots down, having a more casual group of solid friends is really valuable, at the very least so you have people you can depend on.

Well, I think you need to find a balance. Don't blow through everything, but also enjoy life because you only live once.
