> So I doubt there is as much of a market for a male version

Sperm count has been cut in half in the last 40 years in the West. Sperm motility and morphology has also seen precipitous declines, along with increasing DNA fragmentation issues.

Male factor infertility is definitely a problem, but even attempting to discuss environmental estrogens is "men's rights activism" so we ignore it. To the extreme psychological detriment of women who tend to accept blame for fertility failures.

There is a problem in developed countries - that goes far beyond warm testicles - that we are ignoring. For reasons.
Here in Seattle we have the $12 million per mile bike lanes, and the mayor's latest proposal, beds for the homeless at $12,600 per bed. The city government spending is so cost-ineffective it's clear they'll never solve any problems.
WAMP is a sort of tech that did the same thing as Socket.io when the latter was still really popular, while having nice AMQP-like semantics that gave you full routing, and PubSub and RPC with the same stack. A few years ago, it was promising but didn't seem to get a lot of uptake, and then HTTP/2's rise meant that Websocket fell off the hype train into the dustbin of boring technologies no one blogged about anymore.

This happened right as IDL codegens like Thrift also stopped being talked about, and when people did again, it was all about gRPC, which runs over HTTP/2. This didn't help Websocket either.

Projects like this are especially interesting because they genuinely deliver what they claim to do, but to most people they exist in an alternate universe they've never heard about.
Any insight into the current process?
I wonder if they'd use the NSA strategy of asking you to prove damages without providing information on their process.
That's fair. It's just annoying for things like a soccer team. If someone has an update about game time or something, someone has to text me specifically.
I don't know which airline you were flying or which country you are flying across, but in the US all the major carriers that I am aware of that have (or had have, they are being phased out) seat-back video now have the ability to stream to an app on your device. (Though most times I travel I take a pair of Sony WH-1000 MX2s with me. Great noise cancelling, bluetooth or cable attachment to standard ports, overall excellent, lousy touch controls)
I think this is also because no one really teaches you how to interview. Giving multiple interviews doesn't, at least IMHO make you knowledgeable to be on the other side.

It is kinda at a certain level in your career you are expected to just know how to do it. For other skills like management, you at least have your peers who are doing the work day in day out, who you can learn from. Interviews are closed room, usually, though I have had some where one person was shadowing the interviewer.

Also, if you take a terrible interview, its not gonna really impact you. There is no performance report that'll negatively impact you. There will be another candidate, who you'll have a rapport with. Or someone else will interview someone else.

As you said in your anecdote about the binary search problem, not everyone is best at being an interviewer.

But aside from there being a dedicated person for interviewing for big companies, or outsourcing interviews for startups, I don't really see a solution. And outsourcing, whether internally or externally comes up with its own set of problems.
Yes they did. I noted them in another comment.

I read this in about the same light as if I read that all three candidates believe in homeopathy and intelligent design.
It's also based on whitelists and popularity counts.

BTW, Chrome has a similar thing, compile an .exe, put it on a personal site, and try to download it.
The guild could issue ReviewCoin and use this to pay reviewers, thus incentivizing them to work in good faith lest the public lose faith in the project, tanking the value of the coin.

ReviewCoin could be redeemed at participating online retailers for goods, thus allowing reviewers to buy more products to review.

This is a silly idea but it makes me smile.
> Windows 7 is the new XP

Win7 is a focal point of some importance: It's where developers who don't want to be pushed into app store indentured servitude join up with the Windows compatible systems, Wine and ReactOS.

Everything before Win7 is not a focal point because it's too old. Everything after Win7 is not a focal point because nobody can handle the update threadmill. By elimination, it's Win7.

Win7 is not the new XP; it's the future of stability-oriented Windows compatible computing.
>I assert that inventors and inventions need not be shackled to their origin.

How did you get the idea that I disagree with this?
The person certainly could have expressed himself better. You seem a lot more eloquent. You might be able to make counter-points much better than I can.
I'm not sure if there is a limit on number of people or maybe they just don't want "green" messages. Either way it's conform or be left out.
They're looking at "median".

If you're a "median" engineer, I would not recommend SFBA.
I can honestly say that I have no apps with embedded ads. If it's an app I'm going to use, I pay for the no-ads in app purchase. If it's an app that doesn't allow me to pay for a no ads version or that's not worth paying for, I uninstall it.

There is one exception. Overcast, my podcast player. There is a no ads in app purchase, but the ads are usually for other podcasts in the same category that I'm listening to. The ads are actually useful.

If you robbed a bank and had a nice big pile o' cash, how smart would you be to put it in a bank and collect interest on it?

You jeopardize (or devalue) the asset by trying to play landlord. By leaping after $80k/year, you may cost yourself $500k/year appreciation in the asset.
One reason is that if signing via the Mono Framework, the only signing method it offers is SHA-1. I had to eventually sign with `osslsigncode` to get this right. I was trying to cross-compile a Windows app on Linux, which is why the Mono solution appeared to make sense.
Fortunately I spent a lot more time on land than I do on airplanes, but for a frequent flyer that is spending the majority of their time airborne that could be a problem.

But even if they did work I'd still recommend a nice pair of bose quietcomfort headphones or some other noise cancelling headphones for those airline trips.
Ideas are expressed by people. Does every person deserve serious consideration?
I was under the (potentially incorrect) impression that this was fixed in later iPhone revisions (which may have even already existed by the time this happened). Essentially: pointing out that the iPhone 5c--a five year old device--had this issue is not particularly strong evidence that this hasn't been "a feature on iPhones for quite some time".

I suppose one reason for hypocrisy to matter is that it proves they knew what they were doing. If I do $FOO, I could think that $FOO was okay. If I do $FOO while actively suing other people for doing $FOO, then it's obvious that I'm knowingly doing something wrong (or perjuring myself, I suppose).

Oooh, the F5.

I've had one for fifteen years plus. To this day, the only camera I've owned which is actually a physical experience to shoot; the AF and film drive motors are actually strong enough for you to feel the torque they develop as you shoot.

(The F5 could officially shoot 8fps; on a fresh set of batteries you would often get nine; this thing could focus, evaluate the exposure, advance the film, stop down the aperture and trigger the shutter _nine_ times a second.)

The metering system can only be described as exquisite; after a few dozen rolls on the F5 I actually got into the (bad!) habit of not bracketing most of my color positive shots - the metering was spot on just about all the time, regardless of tricky conditions.

I think I'll take it out for a shooting session tomorrow, it's been a few months since it last saw any use. Thanks for the reminder!
I think the key to vegan food growth is making vegan food so delicious and cheap that people start deciding to go get dinner at By Chloe instead of Five Guys (https://www.eater.com/2018/4/19/17243780/by-chloe-vegan-chai...).

I wonder how much vegan restaurants can undercut omni restaurants due to the lower costs of vegetables compared to meats.

Source: anecdata from an omnivore that recently decided to try vegan food and found that there are actually some pretty delicious deals to be found.

If I could get a really great vegan meal for $6-8 rather than the $9-13 I normally pay in NYC I would probably start replacing a lot of my eating out with it.
True and his transgression was an easy one to make because most people will say "Mi..who?" They merged with Konica sometime in the early 2000s and exited the camera market. Minolta was never considered more than a prosumer camera maker, it's cameras lacked many essential features that professional photographers demanded in their SLRs.

The image of Chicago has been tainted lately especially by the news of everyday shootings. How safe there is in comparison to let's say typical large city in Mexico?
I liked his idea that the common American is stuck at the loser-end of a system of "asymmetric risk." Americans are expected to take on more and more "personal responsibility" (i.e. risk) for healthcare, for securing income, etc. and that means they're subject to all the consequences of any failure.

On the other hand the powerful and wealthy monopolize the rewards of risk, and broadly refuse to share it. However, they have such large cushion (and connections) that they never really took any personal risks at all. If they fail, they'll probably be fine (except maybe with some hurt feelings).
> most users are better served by a gatekeeper

If you believe that's the case the bigger problem is the lack of education that leads to some people who are incapable of understanding the risks associated with doing so and not that they have access to do so.

I'm a transplant to NYC and I'm generally pretty critical of complaints about transplants -- try living in a city nobody wants to move to and get back to me on which is worse -- but this does make me think hard about the ways in which the people who move to a new city for short-term opportunity might not care at all about its long-term viability.
why, explain vehemently just how naturally sane and correct your opposing opinion is, naturally. if they wanted the right to speak, they’d have the right politics in the first place and the really important thing is to make sure they know that
So it's sort of like the vinyl record thing then? I suspect the difference in photographs that you see is more in the difference between using an enlarger and photo paper vs. a color printer, and in this case I assume he's printing from the processed digital image. Assuming I'm right then he's not getting that advantage but I can see how someone with an enlarger could do things differently.

As for the technique, I agree that it was more exacting back in the film days. I also had much less money then. The net result was that I didn't take a lot of photos I now wished that I had. Although these days that's what we use our phones for so I guess it's not really an issue.

There is a lot of very nice gear available quite cheaply though. Maybe this will be a trend an it's time to buy Kodak stock?
It's 45%, as stated by the article. Let's not let hyperbole go too far.
I think finding a wrapper that fits your ear is very dependent on the person, but in my dongle days I used "Yurbuds Inspire 200" headphones, which are somewhat normal looking headphones with a silicone wrapper you put on them that fit my ear perfectly. When I got airpods, I just took the wrapper off the Yurbuds and it fit perfectly on the airpods and then locks nicely into my ear.
1. I have. My main point is that the survey is about how people feel about their finance, not actual financial reality as in "one-third cannot afford food, shelter, and healthcare". The survey itself actually says

> roughly one-third of individuals have difficulty making ends meet and approximately one out of five sometimes have difficulty paying for basic needs like food, housing, and medical care.

So even taking it at face value, the ratio is 1/5 instead of 1/3? And also

> while financial circumstances are highly correlated with financial well-being scores, individuals with quite different experiences can arrive at the same score

This further indicates the survey is about people's perception about personal finance, not objective financial reality.

2. IMHO, the author's point is not really "US spends a lot on healthcare as a country", but that US is a "rich" country but people are "poor" because they have little dispensable income after paying for healthcare etc. Comparing total insurance premium against household income is a faulty way to support that point. I agree US spends a lot on healthcare, but it's not bad enough to justify labeling US people as "poor".

Just because you don't like Milo doesn't mean he doesn't raise legitimate points. It's better to think of him as a standup comedian. He's really no different than any other politically-charged standup act.
Maybe I can add some context. A bullshitting interviewee loves the "we did this" type of answer since it deflects the question from him. So a good interviewer will dig in and ask "that's great, so what was your specific role in resolving that situation?" The interviewer isn't interviewing your team, he's interviewing you so he needs to know about your specific skillset, responses to situations, outcomes, etc.
Everybody is right in this thread :)

First, just to avoid confusion, the post linked to this HN article is just about the classic recursive resolver model. That's the scope of what is being experimented with actively.

Second, the notion of resolverless dns (where dns records are obtained from somewhere other than your recursive resolver) is indeed something DoH contemplates but does not yet allow. That's because issues around tracking, correctness, and attacks haven't been fully explored. So unsolicited DNS is interesting but its not something any browser would accept yet.

There are some other opinions on how HTTPS matches the needs of DNS here:

Why does your server indiscriminately accept connections from everyone in the world if you care so much about people "stealing" page views?
Ok, but that has nothing to do with what I said.

You can't legislate that online services be provided any more than you can legislate that Apple provide iPhones for everyone. The government can offer subsidies or refunds or some other consideration, but there must be something in return.

Years ago, I saw/read a presentation from a prominent economist arguing that, more than financial resources, people should look at the changing distribution of risk in the U.S.

So, I started doing so. And so far, it has corresponded pretty well with other circumstances I've been observing.

There's been an enormous shift of risk from institutions to individuals. This economist argued for it accelerating in the 1970's and continuing since.

Sometimes, simplistic phrases are nonetheless useful -- sometimes even defining, if devoid of the details.

Divide and conquer. I think of that often, with regard to present circumstances in the U.S.

Just lately, I ran across a "random" article on social media. About a relatively little known Nobel laureate who has apparently significantly informed -- or, provided cover for -- the very self-centered and transactional philosophy and behavior of oligarchs and monopolists like the Koch brothers.

I had to leave off reading it about halfway through, with the intention to return. And, it mentions an apparently well-received book on the topic.

I'm not familiar with this web site, but here's that article's URL:

I agree that an HR drone scanning for keywords is not good (though some are better than others).

The most savvy candidates, however, tend to skip the step where you throw your resume into a giant vat with the others and hope for the best. Isn't it still the case that most jobs are filled using references and professional networks?

After being crashed into. Why would they have driven up onto the curb when there's so much empty space and all the other cars in the photo are parked fully in the street? Not to mention, being further in should make it easier to avoid, not harder.
Yes, I've observed this behavior as well. If they come across a problem they know they can't solve (i.e. rat in a tree), they come ask you if you have any ideas.

This isn't limited to domestic animals, though. Ravens, upon finding a corpse of an large animal that they can't break the hide to get to the delicious meat, will make a racket to attract predators. Hearing the noise a wolf, coyote, bear, or bobcat comes along opens the dead animal, has a nice meal, and the ravens get the leftovers. That's ravens for you, using their own predators as tools.
> ...or at least couldn't as of 2016...

The iPhone 5c came out in 2013 (and was a budget device based on the hardware design from 2012; the iPhone 5s--which I believe, though would happily be proved wrong, had already fixed this issue--actually came out at the same time as the iPhone 5c). I have no love for Apple (clearly), and I think they (and, sadly, the EFF) were being disincenuous at the time about the definition of "back door", but you are just spreading misinformation here: "as of 2016" would imply the iPhone 7 was vulnerable, which is a much newer device than the one from the infamous San Bernadino scenario :/.

Even for verified purchases, Amazon's over-eager review beggary is just bonkers.

You buy something, and regardless of what it is, you get automated requests to review the purchase. Sometimes before the item has arrived. Practically always well before you have managed to establish whether the purchase was any good or not.

This is why I ignore pretty much every single please-review-me prod from Amazon and their retailers. Send me a request to review before I could have had proper time to evaluate the purchase in practice, and you get bucketed with other entitled f--kwits. You are also likely to lose my future business.

I believe Amazon could improve the S/N ratio of their reviews if they actually considered how long it takes to test out any of their purchases.

Just want to point out that this statement doesn't account for opportunity cost. if it could go to something of greater net benefit, the difference between the two could be considered squandered.

> Fair enough - this is essentially my own question above - what pressure can be applied by Russia to Apple to prevent App Store UK getting updates?

They can fine the company, ban import of Apple products into the country, block access to App Store, etc. Yes, that same agency.

It doesn't even matter which regional section of App Store Telegram would use to publish app - users in need can switch between them and censorship agency can't see which part of App Store you are connecting to.

So Russian censorship agency's end goal should be to remove Telegram from all regional sections of App Store and use whatever legal or not-so-legal excuses to do so. Agency in question (Роскомнадзор) is notorious for their bullshit excuses to ban imports of food from Ukraine during all the trade wars even before all European food was legally banned for import.
It costs money to do the things they do. If there's no profit, the service has to beg for money, or die for lack of resources. CloudFlare is not a charity, and if it was one, it would be ineffectual because their services are too behind-the-scenes and technical to get a donor base wide enough to support them. Profit is not necessarily an anathema to doing the right thing, and if you can align your interests with your cash flow, you can do the right thing without begging for money, which imho is even better than doing the right thing but having to subsist on the money generated by profitable enterprises that aren't as noble (donated either directly, or by their employees). But of course, aligning those interests is a challenge.
