Interviewed for 3 jobs. 1 rejected me for being too broad, 1 rejected me for not being reliable diring the interview (despite good track record and refs), 1 rejected me because they only wanted to hire cheap(ish) devs (2000 - 2500 euro per month).

It was my first round to see the world after graduation. Note: I worked on serious jobs during my studies, no internships, actual jobs.

Will start my serious round soon. If no one wants me for what I think I am worth/can offer, then I will start on my own too. I chose this profession partially because of this ‘power’.
> the US justice system sucks, let's not endow it with special "uniqueness"

The rule of law, where elites fear the law and not a ruler, is in the minority today and across human history. I certainly think it’s something to celebrate.
Maybe blockchain technologies go the way of the car phone. That is, they were novel and useful for a time but other advancements rendered them obsolete. Or, maybe future fiction doesn't need to account for every possible future technology and instead will feature fictional things/ideas the author simply thinks is cool/interesting to play with.
Thing is most businesses take time to build. If you're in "dire need", like really about to starve, you probably would take a job you might even be overqualified for.
They had to ask to search the car because they had no probable cause, not read him his miranda rights.

You might as well ask why didn't they train them to speak Spanish.
The only one that comes to mind is Magic Leap. They could blow up like Theranos.

This brings back such good memories of playing this for this first time on my Amiga 2000.

The article offers a wonderful breakdown of the fairly astonishing amount of invention that went into development. Especially given that it was primarily the work of a solo developer.

I also enjoyed the observation that the Amiga's hardware-level support for a laserdisc peripheral (which was never released) was repurposed for the rotoscoping work used to develop the incredibly smooth character animations that still look AAA, even today.

I love this blog. Can't wait to read the book.
Why would a cop use a recording of Miranda rights when they want to search? It's not like they are already arresting him.
it is also what makes this country great. not that someone like Trump understand that. For a society to function harmoniously, it must believe that their society is just, and that those who commit crimes will face justice, whether its pusher on the street, or the President of the United States, and that, not only will justice be served, but clemency granted in equitable fashion when so deserved.

For those interested, here is an interesting essay that touches on some of those issues

Mine were removed when I was 2 because they were huge! Like all surgery, it comes with risks and tradeoffs. It's great that we have a better idea of what the risks are now but that's not a reason not to do the surgery. Let's not forget that it's still a well tolerated procedure that confers some benefit to the right patients. We're not removing them for fun.

What benefit is that? Large tonsils occlude the airway, causing sleep breathing disruptions. The impact of those disruptions isn't visible but we know it is very harmful, particularly to children since they're still developing. We can avoid those developmental problems by removing the tonsils. I don't want to go into it here in too much detail but "developmental problems" is not a small thing, we're talking about structural changes to the skull, learning difficulties, behavior problems, etc.

An open question is how bad does the occlusion need to be before it justifies removing the tonsils. I don't know the answer to that question. I'd say bad. And that happens increasingly often because large tonsils have a strong correlation with allergies to begin with. Chronic infections are more a complication of the original problem, not the cause of it. And that's not even touching the damage these infections can do to the sinus cavities.
UBeam springs to mind.
Someone asked how she hadn't been indicted a few weeks ago, and I said that the investigation was ongoing but she would surely been indicted. Everyone following this case closely saw this coming.

Yeah, I think this is a more common occurrence in industry outside of tech. I would imagine there are many stories that echo this amongst construction trade and independent truck drivers, for example. I know of several folks in those industries that started their own business because of priors.
The future being unevenly distributed, I've been doing that for a long time privately, not publicly, via Apache Guacamole (with LDAP integration for configuring) as my front end to some virtual dev boxes.

I've never run into the slightest issue between chromebook html5 browser and Apache Guacamole, which I suppose does not prove no problem could exist for anyone else. Its SSH is really a very nice terminal emulator, and of course there's rdesktop protocol and all that also.

It helps to have an enormous vmware cluster holding the numerous servers such that I'm connecting to a machine that is too beastly powerful to ever consider in a laptop form factor... so my dev box has slightly higher latency but the CPU and memory are immense such that its not all that different than native, some things a little faster, some a little slower.

The biggest problem I have is I can buy a chromebook with a decent screen for roughly the price of a decent windows laptop, but I can't buy a decent keyboard on a chromebook for any price. Model-M keyboard to USB to plug into the chromebook, I've never tried that? On the stereotypical hyper limited chromebook keyboard, emacs is ... difficult but possible, and android studio is OK, or at least as OK as java programming can be. Android studio emulator had some weirdness with it not being amused at attempting virtual machine hardware acceleration on a vmware image of a windows box; probably depends exactly which version of studio you install and when you installed it...

Native chromebook VPN support is "ok" or at least somewhat usable. I don't have the infrastructure bare out on the internet for obvious reasons.

An extremely beefy virtual dev box with 10 hour battery that weighs nothing using a state park as my office is pretty nice, when weather permits that kind of work. The only problem I've found is you can use a lot of mobile data very quickly this way, especially during a nice summer month. Also I can charge my tether phone off the chromebook but then the battery life seems much shorter; AC power is surprisingly not hard to find and picnic shelters are almost always empty during the week (full on weekends). Parks are also empty and quiet during the week. When it rains I'm stuck in the office, what a bummer. Do not be like me and hike out five miles to an observation tower right before a rainstorm begins, I was stuck under the tower for an entire day until it stopped raining.

This interview with John Carreyrou [1], the Wall Street Journal journalist who is largely responsible for exposing Theranos, goes into a lot of detail. It's long, so if you want a shorter answer, jump to the question "What technology did Theranos actually develop?":

Basically there were three iterations of the technology. The first one used microfluidics, which are basically the repurposing of the micro-fabrication techniques that the computer chip industry pioneered to move tiny volumes of liquid. Theranos tried to work on that for several years before Holmes lost patience in late fall 2007 and abandoned it. At that point she pivoted to what was essentially a converted glue-dispensing robot. One of the engineers ordered a glue-dispensing robot from a company called Fisnar in New Jersey, studied its components and rebuilt a smaller version of it. It was a robotic arm on a gantry with three degrees of motion and a pipette stuck to its end, and it replicated what the scientist does at the bench. That ended up being called the Edison and it could do only one class of test, known as immunoassays. It was also error-prone. The third iteration of the technology was the miniLab, which Holmes wanted to be able to do more than just immunoassays. The miniLab didn’t invent any new techniques to test blood with. It miniaturized existing laboratory instruments and packed them into one box. By the time Theranos went live with its tests, the miniLab was a malfunctioning prototype.

The interview also explains how Holmes was able to attract so many influential people on her board. The short answer is her Jobs-like "reality distortion field" -- she was exceedingly good at convincing non-scientists that their science worked.

I believe this is the path forward, as well. Using your example above in a gender-blind scenario, I can't imagine a scenario where a hiring manager would't choose the potential employee who would only take 2 weeks leave.

I actually wrote a sed utility to collapse arbitrary whitespace before piping into cut before I learned about Awk. I never knew about -w before, but looks like neither of the systems I'm currently using for work support it.
ruby's -n and -p options are venerable equivalents to perl's options which were present in version 1.0 waaay back in 1987 and they were there so it could be that drop in replacement for awk

ruby inherited a lot of structure and ideas from perl which it inherited from awk and that thought makes me irrationally happy
> Show me where I said that.

it seems like a logical implication, unless you're also entertaining the idea of production ending altogether.

> Would we rather have 195 regions contaminated with TCE or one/two?

i'm not sure, would 195 be better, or have some advantages? will all of these 'regions' be identical?

> Your petty nationalism would force those kids to stay in their country AND have them deal with the toxic waste of their protectionist government-subsidized industry because they'll have no other choice but to.

and you advocating that china be the location of choice for toxic waste will surely result in something different?

Not exactly the kind of "captain of industry" Rand wrote about. And from her update after being found (http://blogs.nature.com/news/2012/05/missing-biologist-surfa...), she was far from rich: "Unable to work because of it and subsequent injuries, she had long lived in poverty, sustained largely by the religion she had come to early in the decade."

Thanks for sharing your experience. Criminal justice is hard stuff.

> Why the discrepancy? The 28th amendment hasn't been ratified yet.

I predict Holmes gets at least as much time as Balwani, if not more. Why? Many of the most compelling causal explanations for the (very real and concerning) gender sentencing gap aren't applicable to this case.

(On a related note, I had an exchange about gender gaps in sentencing with another HN user 3 months ago who was complaining how unfair it was that Holmes "is spending exactly zero days in prison" and got off with "a slap in the wrist" compared to Shkreli [1].)

Equal Rights Amendment. It's alive and well. Illinois just ratified it, and we need one more state to reach the magic number.

As soon as the right wing of America realizes that men are sometimes discriminated against, we won't be waiting long until one more state legislature puts it over.
Typically they will attempt to communicate with body language; i.e. administer a beating until their interlocutor gets the point.
You'd have to make it mandatory leave. The social pressure is still tilted towards women as care givers and men as providers so more men will end up not using the leave. If it becomes mandatory then it's just a baked in rising to every employee, _and_ will probably do better for society to have both parents get time with their children.

I believe some European states solve this by having the state cover ~60% of your wage while on leave so that it's not a giant burden for companies
Cloud9 still exists, Amazon just charges for it. My current favorite cloud ide is definitely azure notebooks. It's especially great for Python with the inclusion of a jupyter magic for pip installing dependencies!

The awk book is a lot of fun. I just finished reading it after seeing it recommended here a few weeks ago. The highlights for me:

1. A simple interpreter for an awk-like language called qawk. qawk is like awk except that it allows for querying by field name rather than field number. For instance, it allows doing

{ print $country, $population, $capital }

instead of the more cryptic

{ print $1, $3, $5 }

2. An awk program that takes another awk program (in their example, a sorting algorithm) and outputs a version of that program modified to include profiling statements and an END section that outputs the results of those profiling statements to some file; then, another awk program that reads the data in that file and inserts that data back into the original awk program, thereby approximating where the hotspots are.

There's a lot more in the book besides these, but to me these are the coolest programs because they are the awk-iest, by which I mean that they loop over lines of input, split the fields of those lines, and then manipulate the fields. Some of the programs in the book don't do this; instead, they consist of a single large BEGIN block with typical for-loops, arrays, etc. Used in this way, awk is just yet another dynamic language.
So in your opinion if I install a sandboxing application on a Debian box and give it to, say, my little brother to use for homework, it's no longer a Unix-like because my brother can't open a terminal emulator and run ls?

Do you realize how ridiculous that sounds?

Do you also think Android is not a Unix-like because it's sandboxed?

Besides all that, since I have to spell it out: those utilities _are_ present seeing as they're present in its base system, just not publicly exposed via Apple's official iOS SDK, and are trivially executable via `system` or `NSTask` (if you drop in the header file) on e.g. a jailbroken device. I mean, you do realize that iOS looks pretty much exactly like macOS under all the sanboxing?
It's posted as a joke, but this something that actually happened. I feel like the emotions underlying relationships are quite strong (given that my grandfather was shot in the face over it) and we should recognize that experimenting carries risks.
There are many indicators that one could look at, "inverted yield curve" is one, but given it's popularity if it actually flips, it might actually trigger the recession in the behaviour that follows, so you end up needing to predict the predictor. And many indicators can get into "lucky socks" cargo cult territory quickly because they happen to match up events/stats with recessionary time periods.

If you need a general introduction, Dalio provides a nice starter for thinking about it:

A interesting proposed measure here based upon fundamentals IMHO to me is consumption investment ratio:
http://necsi.edu/research/economics/econuniversal

All I can really say is be very sceptical of anyone who says they know for sure - I'm going mostly off my reading of cycle behaviors with some hand wavy harder measures (but economics is a terrible field and even the rigorously defined measures in the end have poor real-world predictive accuracy.)

I don't think this is practical because many men do not take their full paternity leave. For biological reasons alone, the woman needs to take more.
I must be confused then. Why does the defendant section say “Warrant, no bail”?.
You don't, you process the logs right away with ask as in piping to awk store the statistics in a file.
The dollar figures involved are three to four orders of magnitude greater in their case.
Her original idea was for a wearable diagnostic device that transmitted information directly to doctors.
From context, I think parent was probably referred to the Equal Rights Amendment: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equal_Rights_Amendment

But yes, referring to a proposed amendment as "the 28th amendment" is very confusing, since there will always be multiple proposed amendments at any given point in time.
Often times the paying the time part causes far more destruction than intended. The cost to jail someone is huge and the criminal record that people get often forces them into a cycle of crime because they cant even get a legitimate job.

Depends on how much you trust your brother. But voice authentication, in general, can't be secure since your voice can be emulated to say arbitrary things given a long enough string on your part.

I am an ~/.ssh/config user. I have all the servers I connect to organized and use a convention like this:

Host $company-$project-$location-$server
HostName $IP
Host *$company*
# Gateway Settings

You can specify specific configs first, then have them waterfall down to general configs. This allows you to customize usernames, identity files, proxies etc. This file is known to fish autocompletions so I can just do `ssh` and use tab completions until I have all the pieces filled. I also use a socks proxy by specifying `-D $port` so I can access the server from inside Firefox with a network config (I use firefox solely for separate socks proxy access to avoid having to proxy all data in OSX system prefs. Not sure if Safari has that ability).
I grew up in the early 70s and while the threat of nuclear annihilation was ever present, it rarely impinged on every day life. Meanwhile we were playing in the streets after school and riding our bikes around during the school holidays from 10am until 5pm.

Bullying was restricted to the playground and the few kids that you kept away from. If you were lucky, your folks probably had a job that they would stay in until they retired, and there was far less homework and exam pressure than these days.

The fact is that no-one really understands why the Flynn effect is apparently reversing. It's likely that the extraordinary increases in from the 1948s until 2008 were prompted by improvements in nutrition, education... or possibly that people got better at the skills needed to do well in the test.

The hypothesis that improvements were down to hardship and adversity is certainly a novel one. Novel and speculative. Novel, speculative and unsupported. Still, if it makes you happy, make sure you scare your kids every night.
Then why are people in this thread so convinced they can't compete with China on components even with 25% tariffs?

Yeah you need a certain type of vision as a CEO. He's better as a COO. It's a conservative decision they need to have him become COO again and find someone else... Apple has SO MUCH POTENTIAL and yet, not enough to show for it currently.

You can see some remnants of the construction on street view.
You could simply make it mandatory time off. But either way, he has a point. A company doesn't want to risk hiring someone that might miss a huge swath of time, for any reason. Not in every job but in many jobs, an employee isn't just an employee, they are an investment. If it was mandatory for both sexes though, it would level the playing field.

Not a domain expert, but as I recall most of the things they want to test for aren't present at a sufficient level in the blood stream to get a statistically significant sample from a few drops.

Blood sugar is a relatively high percentage of your blood stream, which is why strip-based glucose monitors work.
> One of the solutions to this is matching paternity leave.

A better solution would just unpaid parental leave for both sexes, with a stipend paid for by the government.

The idea of paying people some percentage of their salary while on parental leave is an incredibly regressive policy and should be banned.
Dude from Germany here. Without a proper school education I was unable to get a apprenticeship in an IT profession, although I started profesional coding with age of 11 and general IT with 6-7 years (~1989).

I ended up learning mechanics and after finishing my apprenticeship I founded my first company (~2000).

After 18 hard working years of entrepreneurship I managed to start and exited 2 successfull companies with 8 figures volume.

I can only suggest to start your own business if you are dedicated. Don't think it is easy, or that you will have a lot of spare time. But I won't miss a day of my journey so far. And yes, I don't need to work anymore, but can't stop!
Oh my, that game is art. I believed that was the future of games. Instead we got decades of murky textures stretched lazily over too few polygons to look good, too many to look abstract and evoke imagination.
Holmes dropped out after 3 semesters. As far as I can tell she took one intro chemical engineering class.

Not what I would call experience with microfluidics.
Wow I completely forgot about that! When is it too much? Personally, I like tools that do one thing well. But to each their own.
>One of the solutions to this is matching paternity leave.

One of the solutions to this is litigation, like in other countries, and burying any company that does it to the ground (including with consumer backslash and media shaming).

"Matching paternity leave" doesn't solve the problem for single mothers -- and it just provides a broader target to discriminate against.
Whoops. I thought it was official due to issues on crystal/crystal about it, my bad.
Probably chalk it up to a very confusing and esoteric form. No bail could just mean they don't have to post bail to get out.

"Warrant" could just mean they came in on a warrant vs. a summons.

More important is the top of the form: "Defendant is NOT in custody".
I am no expert, but it's my understanding that blood in the capillaries (fingertip) is not exactly the same as blood in the veins.

> In addition, the small volumes involved and the variability in sample quality based on puncture site and technique make capillary sampling particularly susceptible to errors during the pre-preanalytical phase, which are beyond the control of clinical laboratory personnel
