How is this legal? Let's take a hypothetical example:

Joe is employee #2 FoolzRUs, at a Sequoia-backed startup, in CA. The company is small, having 10 employees total, and maybe 6 engineers. Joe is interviewing to get another job, because he feels that his company is not going to last. The prospective employer happens to be a growing company that was funded by Sequoia. The recruiter looks up FoolzRUs in Option Impact and deduces that the Principal Engineer at FoolzRUs sounds like Joe, and thus, his salary. Now she does not have to ask Joe what his salary is, but is she violating California's new law, where an she is barred from asking Joe what his compensation is?
Sounds like this should bring up discussion around a maximum wage/relative earnings limit.
This is exactly what I do, however, it makes reading really slow. I could never match Alan Kay's 20,000 books in my lifetime in this way.
Absolutely no possibility it’s 370mph, so yeah, it’s in kilometers. That’s 230mph for the imperial measurement folks (still very damn fast, especially for that section. While mostly straight, it is deceptively hard to do in many cars, aka ones not from a professional racing team, at even 150mph, speaking from experience).
I think using minion cores as controllers for external chips is a good first step.

I am envisioning something like AVX (grid of registers) for running state machines with built in SERDES (parallel loads/store, serial in/out) for running IO.
This is so wildly off base it is not even funny. The most sustainable forms of life is decentralized subsistence hunting and gathering or small scale farming. When civilization collapses, which it does and will, that is the only form of human life that survives. Cities rise up through political power and exploitation of the rural areas around them but they are a graveyard. Just a matter of time.
I don't think it would be as extreme as a full career change. There exists a very large startup cost to becoming a pilot. I'd think to measure the number of people motivated to those as "failed actors", people who tried to make their career as an actor but eventually moved on to other things. Isn't that what we already have today?
Way more than that.
I really don't know which is meant to be quicker. But rarely when typing am I constrained by the length of travel or weight of the keys (within reason).

So it (almost) all comes down to what feels nicer.
This has nothing to do with causation. The solution to the first problem is this simple:

if((a > 1 & b > 1 & c > 1) |
(a < 1 & b < 1 & c < 1)){
event
}else{
no_event
}

They introduce a bunch of artificial constraints and then get into weirdness about "cubies" and 3-D sandwiches which is fine for a puzzles sake but what does this have to do with "the math of causation"?
"My brother and me!" God, damn it! :-D
It's true that transfers to hot areas are hard (other transfers are very easy). At the same time OP was just accepted, and HR probably lied about how easy it is to transfer to those teams...I know multiple people who joined Google because they wanted to be on the core ML teams, but after they couldn't move there, they quit....Anyways, Google is awesome if you look at it as a job (not as a way to change the world).
Really evil move no doubt driven by patent trolls and patent racketeers.

I have not used a lot of mechanical keyboards, but I think there is a spectrum where laptop flat keyboards are on one end and clacky big mechanical keyboards are on the other end.

For some reason I find that I like keyboards somewhere in the middle -- boards with good key travel but also a fair bit of mush in the key presses. Currently rotating between Topres and MX Brown switches this year.
I've tried this and failed - I don't retain much a few months down the road with this method. And as with false memories, what I do retain is often not quite right.

My process is not as involved. I take notes in a notebook while reading. Then I make blog posts out of them. This way I can review/consult any time, any where.

This really does slow down my process, though. I used to read several books in the time it now takes to read one. Writing blog posts is time consuming (and my notes are very rough).
That's what I mean though. I'm not saying that nobody gets spiritual experiences, but rather that it's just a function of our brain.

You aren't connecting to some higher power, you're connecting to your brain in a different state. Like having the radio tuned between two different channels.

It can still be mind expanding, one thing I've definitely discovered from psychedelics is that our senses are subjective. But I think that people who are trying to find a higher meaning in life should look elsewhere, rather than drugs. Because you won't find a higher meaning, you'll just think you did, it's an illusion.
Are you sure about that? I was under the impression that there were no checks whatsoever and it's only a goodwill of miners (and lack of incentive to do otherwise) that provides somewhat accurate time.

On the flip side, I'm sure there are/will be oracles for approx. block time, so this is still a solveable issue.
I’m not sure if it’s what you’re looking for, but Backup and Sync is a similar Drive sync utility made by google for personal accounts. The only feature that it doesn’t have is file-level sync settings (afaik B&S only has folder level sync options)
This article really demonstrates how meaningless most economics reporting is, it's nearly as bad as markets/finance reporting.

Oil is $75, about average over the last decade. It has almost nothing to do with employment, wage growth or GDP except inasmuch as all major economic measures affect eachother. A year ago oil prices were low, did that mean the opposite of this article (whatever that is) was true?

This kind of writing leans very heavily on its metrics, euphemisms and cliches. I have a feeling the journalists would not be able to unpack any of its abstractions.

"If slack were eliminated everywhere, pay might rise faster." _.._"hawks think there is little room to boost real wages by running labour markets hotter." _.._"structural changes in the economy, rather than weak demand alone, have stacked the deck against workers."

...If asked, would the writer be able to give a specific examples or instances for any of these? Are "labour market running hot" or "central bank tightening" references to actual things that are happening or are these just boilerplate sentences that get added to any article?

I really don't see how anyone is more informed of anything, even about the authors' opinions, from reading this.
Maybe that's because you know nothing about Nietzsche's views?

The short answer is "more or less", the longer answer is the second one in the FAQ:

Where in Europe? There's a variance in the average consumption of over 400% depending on the weather. France uses much less energy than the US on average, but Sweden uses more.

We see the same variance regionally within the US as well. Canadians use more energy per capita than folks in the US. Cold and hot states dominate energy consumption per capita.

The US does have larger homes and more wealth and does tend to consume more energy per capita across similar environments -- but regional weather patterns create far, far larger differences in energy consumption than any other factor.

We could just as easily say that Europe shouldn't be used as a benchmark as the weather is too nice, on average.
It is called the Zeigarnik effect.

In classical physics there is no limit to how gentle a measurement can be, you can essentially measure everything without perturbation and to arbitrary precision, so measurements are not really a concern. Or am I misunderstanding what you wanted to hint at?
Why not just switch to PTP (IEEE 1588)?

My argument isn't that the CPI is misleading mismeasuring prices, but falling to amount for quality improvements in products. I'm not sure the MIT data disproves that claim.
..extra point. This is the most ridiculous part:

Continued tightening in labour markets might yet boost workers’ bargaining power enough for that to happen, as was the case during the late 1990s and late 2000s, two unusual periods in which labour’s share of GDP rose across the rich world.

Labour’s share of GDP is a fraction. labour/gdp. you can make it bigger by having higher wages or lower gdp. Anyone remember 1999 or 2008? Anything "unusual" about those years?
> Drugs could be hugely beneficial to people when used constructively

I don't disagree with you. I'm just saying that the viewpoint of the Portuguese government is that any use of drugs (outside the legal ones) is abuse, and that the abusers are the victims.

They're saying that it is still inherently bad for people to be taking drugs, but that drug users are not bad people.
If that is a clicky keyboard and work with others that is grounds to be fired.
Do you have an example of mass transit 'done right' in a city in the US?

Seems to me that scooters (or bikeshares etc) are highly complementary to mass transit, since you're never going to get rail lines everywhere.
Personally, I think 16 is way to young to be experimenting with drug. The effects are to powerful to give to an under-developed brain.
> Are "labour market running hot" or "central bank tightening" references to actual things

Yes. Unemployment is very low. That means if you need ten people, you may have to pay more or wait longer than you expected. That is what “labour market running hot” refers to. “Eliminating slack” means encouraging employers to raise wages (which can cause inflation) to fill productive jobs.

“Central bank tightening” refers to the Federal Reserve reducing its balance sheet and raising rates. There is a Fed meeting later this year when target rates are expected to be raised, partly in reaction to said labour market.

I agree that the financial press could afford to be less jargon heavy.
sure if you don't have those already, I am sure gp does have food, healthcare. I was curious if better tech makes your richer if you already have food, healthcare, security covered.
Richer doesn't necessarily mean we have more food than before.

Which does not automatically make any bike-sharing startup worth billions though...

The issue is the value of this particular scooter-sharing company here, not the value of the global scooter market.
I'm about as far from someone who understands this topic as it gets, but here's my explanation for why rape is bad that doesn't invoke god:

It's not an evolutionarily stable strategy. [1]

By that I mean, if we had a society where rape was normal, and sex was largely a nonconsensual thing, meaning there would be more violence, women would develop adaptations to prevent being raped, and more energy would be spent on the prevention of unwanted procreation, and the the gene pool would be less fit for survival than one without the rape gene.

But merely having a society full of non-rapists isn't enough either: the first serial rapist to come along would invade the gene pool by raping others and spreading the gene that encodes this "rape others" behavior, and within so many generations the gene pool would be full of rapists.

To have an ESS, our behavior would have to be encoded with a "don't rape others, but also don't tolerate others who do rape" strategy, which would increase a society's fitness for survival, and be more resilient against an invading strategy.

Calling rape "immoral" is a good shorthand because "morals" are basically a formal way of defining the whole "don't do this, and don't tolerate others who do" concept in a way that humans can understand. But at the end of the day morals are just an abstraction that we've had to create in order to be more successful as a social species. Religion may have helped as well... to me these things are extended phenotypes for our genes that have been selected for over eons to keep our gene pool at a stable equilibrium.

They are tanking about the rich middle class west (ie you and me) not euro trash millionaires and trustafarians on made in Chelsea :-)

Also if you did suddenly get 50mil say you invest for the long term 50% the balance gives you an income < 1,000,000 a year

And that's not assuming you don't spend 10-15 mill or so on a really nice house or two one in London and one in the country.
Where is that quote from? I've read Thus spoke Zarathustra and am considering which of his texts I should read next.
I am not sure I follow your reasoning. Taking into account the low interest environment that we have gone through in the last 10 years how can it be a creditor’s paradise?

How much would you pay for a brand new iPhone 5 (the iPhone new in 2012) that looked exactly like an iPhone X and was indistinguishable by anyone else? If it's less than the price you would pay for a real iPhone X that price difference is because of quality improvement and not fashion.

There are more rigorous ways to account for the fashion effect, but this thought experiment shouldshow that a significant part of the price difference is because of quality improvements.
My understanding is that with hard caps on CO2 emissions, a market rate for carbon will emerge. In other words, if you can buy a maximum of 100 tons of CO2 emission for $5/ton via a government agency, then at some point you'll have to buy credits from other parties, and that'll command a premium.
I wish them luck and hope they solve payment processing problems for adult performers once and for all. That said, the only point of a separate token I see is getting them money so they can actually implement the system. From end users' point of view it would be easier if ETH was used directly imho.
Interesting question. I certainly have had many great ideas while not paying attention and being bored out of my mind in school.
Are multiple accounts supported?
1. Stop using uber, that is a total luxury. Get a used bike off Ebay/craigslist/whatever for like $100.

2. Do something useful in your spare time. Like get a job at a fast food joint so you can pay your bills.
It helps ensure that the financial sector controls everything in our economic system by giving them an excess of money that they can use to buy politicians.
Hell no.

Nope.

Absolutely not.

Terrible idea.

Why, in this modern age when everything is computerized, and even the article in question was written on, published on, and read on, computers, do we insist on trying to ban them in places where they can (and should) be used to improve the experience?

With all the education-targeted technology we have, I think it’s idiotic to forcibly prevent ourselves from achieving a better learning experience.
Isn't Glassdoor across all of US whereas this is probably mostly SV based companies?
So the same that happens in the West?
I used the phrase "the West" because the practice happens in the US, but is more common in Europe.

The analogy stems from an instrumentalist view of what it means to be human and the expectations parents have that children are for their own pleasure. IE: a down syndrome life isn't worth living because such a person can't be a meaningfully productive member of society, or a down syndrome child isn't one I want to have because of the long-term burden I will have to bear.

It's not mental gymnastics to make that connection. The only reason it isn't obvious is because abortion is a taboo subject.

FWIW a 10 week old fetus is a lot more than a "blob of cells": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sivegxcp2Bk .
With VS2017, they've moved to a faster release cadence. Fortunely, the minor releases are actually delivering significant features, like C++17 conformance.

The downside is occasional toolset compatibility issues. https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vcblog/2017/11/15/side-by-s...
My company used sprintly a few years back and our experience ranged from not-good to god-awful. It seemed like all feature requests were either ignored or met with the attitude of "We know better than you do", which was unhelpful at best.
I have a Unicomp with the Ctrl and caps lock keys swapped out of the box, it was one of those "Linux" or UNIX models. I'm old enough to have used a real Model M in high school and I couldn't tell the difference between them when typing. It's a great keyboard and I hope it never dies.
Afaik the way cement works is you separate carbon from stone during its production and it binds co2 from air during setting. So wheres the big impact?
My parents divorced when I was 10, and now my dad is married to his third wife. Age has mellowed him and his third wife has whipped him into a more submissive role, which was a good change in his personality.

I don’t hate my dad, he is a flawed man but I love him. We both like NFL, boxing, and movies so we talk a lot about that.

My brother is mostly estranged from my dad and they talk rarely, but we all do get together most thanksgivings.

And there are millions of changes in the pixel data. I would appreciate "a particularly good explanation" myself.
I had the same question. I’ve always been able to focus to the point of obsessiveness on things that interest me and I see the same qualities in my son now. For him it’s Bey Blades and Pokémon right now.

Career wise, the trick has always been learning to aim my obsession at the problem.

Wow, somehow I had missed that. It also comes in Space Grey with black caps. Needless to say, going to grab one!
If a disease wipes out their hosts, they usually go extinct as a direct consequence because species jumping is a rare trait.

Rare, but not unheard of. With only one exception that I am aware of, really nasty human diseases are those which only infect humans by accident and have a different main host. The exception, HIV, is already evolving into a various strains, at least one of which is much less dangerous than the original.

However, if we ever consider a disease to be an existential threat, wiping out the other host species isn’t something we would have much practical difficulty with these days. We’re already considering that with Malaria, and that’s not an existential threat.
Citation please? I've never heard of any federal agency employee getting any kind of commission such as this.
An interesting side-effect of this, is that it would enable a standard of synchronization, across geographic regions, such that one could treat a set of virtual machines as one ultra-wide-bus CPU with a 1 GHz clock speed.

All of the local overhead of real system resouces and network synchronization could handled by the remainder of the real CPU clock available to the bare metal, but contribute to the computation of a segment of a virtual bit field, at speed.

So, now maybe we get a commodity 4096 bit 1 GHz CPU as a service. Which, is maybe comparable to a 64 core processor, but without the overhead of chunking down to the width of 64 bits.
"you won't find a higher meaning, you'll just think you did, it's an illusion"

So how do you distinguish the illusion from the real thing, as far as higher meaning goes?
> The other kid was told to wait.

Hm, perhaps some Ritalin could fix this?

Perfectly normal behavior; little boy waits and plays small games to pass time. Incompetent teachers blame kids and "fix the problem".
It is great news if this algorithm can work directly on the public Internet, without requiring a specialized network - many scientific and engineering applications will be able to get its time reference directly from the Internet!

NTP and other protocols currently used are unauthenticated (there is NTP autokey, etc, but its security properties are not ideal, and mostly not deployed) and it is a big security hole, especially more and more cryptographic programs are being putting online, since this protocol is meant for financial applications, hopefully the security issues can also be solved by using digital signature.

I guess it's a rare scenario which the finance industry makes a _direct_ contribution to technology.
Can you explain the difference? to me both statements appear the same with the difference a matter of perspective.

I hope it's clear to see that obviousness is something I also see as a subjective thing which is related to the reader. That they contain obviousness is based on the fact that both thinkers shaped our thinking through their works or that we see their knowledge as "common knowledge" nowadays.

I used the word because this obviousness leads to boredom for some readers and I can see how both writers have obvious statements (from today's point of view) in them. That this is entirely subjective and based on the knowledge and self-awareness of the reader was never questioned, although I agree that I wasn't clear about it.

- And there is another dimension which was the reason for me to use the word with negative connotation: Sometimes Goethe just wrote about his wishes and desires towards a woman and some people try to see a lot more in some of his works (this is entirely subjective). It's like some of Kafkas works which can be interpreted quite clearly using his biography. But I don't want to start a discussion about the difference between interpretation and what the author tried to say. Many experts interpret works without considering the biography of the author and see the work of someone as something which stands on its own. I don't have a strong opinion either way, but I slightly favor methods that analyze texts based on the biography of the writers. But I can also understand why this is not necessary for a good interpretation.
You can filter down by city. I do agree even then it's underestimating but if I can be arrogant for a moment, I believe people who read HN are accustomed to slightly higher compensation than the average
Google doesn't open a 500-engineer research lab in Grand Rapids, MI because there are not 500 Google-caliber engineers already living in Grand Rapids, MI. This is not a statement about the average talent there, but simply that the starting pool is not sufficiently large; hence the need to build offices in high density urban areas.

Google doesn't open an office in Denver so that Bay Area engineers have a slightly cheaper place to work, they do it to tap into the talent of folks who already live there.

Edit: I am basing these claims off of my own experience. I work at a satellite office of one of the big tech co's, and the vast majority of my coworkers are people who are either fresh out of a local university, or already lived here for many years before joining the company.
