yeah some ppl just aren't able to handle real life properly, taking LSD would be just to much for them.

The solution is to knowledge. The most bad stories we hear about drugs are from ppl who don't know much(or anything at all !!!) about the stuff they take.
What about a hand written note. Does GDPR cover that?
That's a nice in theory, but it's insufficiently imaginative. The unexpected state can be out of memory, out of disk, persistent network failures, etc.

And you need to be able mitigate bugs that make it to prod. Okay, your code never lets bugs into prod, but your dependencies may have issues, or you might have an unexpected conflict with the underlying OS. If you can limp along with a buggy configuration that's causing some containers to go down, you can often get a patch in place without having a total outage.

I was going to say the same thing, but if you wait for the Cloudflare 502 to come up you can hit "retry for a live version" and get what I assume is a cached version.
As a side note, holy hell I didn't realize that the delinquency rate made it up to 11.5% after the financial crash... As someone in my early 20s, I remember that the crash was bad, but it's hard to appreciate the scope of it sometimes.
I understand your frustration. Precision without accuracy can be absolutely infuriating.

Imagine a friend saying "I'll be there in 5 minutes" and showing up 2 hours later. Just maddening.
Listrunner, Inc. (YC S14) | Montreal, Canada | Multiple positions | Fulltime | ONSITE

We're working to fix the software doctors use. If you have seen what physicians have to put up with, it's a bad version of the 90s, and makes medical care worse and more expensive for everyone. We are a group of previously successful engineers and entrepreneurs (MIT, Dartmouth, Datapower, Stripe, Salesforce, etc) and senior doctors (John Hopkins, UCSF, Oxford, etc) who are determined to finally fix this.

Compensation: market salary & equity -- we are well funded.

Stack: includes Rust, React and Node. We will also be solving some very interesting problems in the areas of APIs, domain-specific machine-learning and fine-grained application security.

Please email jobs@listrunnerapp.com and mention "[hnjobs]" in the subject line.
There's also human ingenuity, technology, and gov't stability which are multipliers on those finite land/natural resources. Skyscrapers increase real estate/land for example, courts protect property rights enabling one to invest capital in venture X.

Tell HN: Twitters stupid age blocks
So, I setup a new Twitter account for a new site of ours (https://diceroll.app) and have been configuring it for a few days and it kept nagging for a birthday...

On the nag it said it doesn't need to be an actual date of birth, can be a pets birthday day or the launch of the business etc.

So we go for the site launch date.

Goes in - says profile complete and then immediately blocks the whole profile for being under 13 years of age!!! Now requesting a scan of my photo ID to be sent to support - wonder how long that will take to process!

Moral of the story - don't listen to the profile not complete prompts on twitter!
Same with Oracle and their Data Cloud or whatever it's called now.
This is an improvement over how things worked before, but the end state for this has to be an API definition for service changes so that services like Google Maps and Citymapper can update my routes or estimated travel times.

I don't want to plan a route in Citymapper and then have to check myMTA for service status.
Can't access the site either.. would be very interesting if China partially reverses their firewall policies, would not be too surprising because they will surely want to maintain their growth rate, even in the case of an escalating trade war.

hwvirt is what most people think of when you say "virtualization", so they try to compartmentalize things at that level. i don't see why Xen/KVM/whatever is fundamentally more secure than something like Illumos Zones or FreeBSD Jails. Linux, unfortunately, doesn't think that way, but that doesn't mean it can't.

i think osvirt is a more efficient abstraction, but the industry clearly has other ideas.
My grandfather was CEO of an NYSE listed company and he preferred to hire people out of college whom had lower GPAs around 3.0 then perfect students because he thought these folks made for better team members and well rounded employees. Simply put he wanted to hire people who perused side passions and had a social life.

Personally after having been in entrepreneurial circles for years it seems the most financially successful people I know had mediocre college grades if they went at all. One friend who’s net worth is over $100m dropped out of high school to became a carpenter and is now a major real estate developer.Too many people spend way to much of thier youth focused on grades. What’s important is finding what you love, learning a bit and just doing enough to get your diploma. If you want to get a masters then focus on just getting in. It’s like passing the levels in a video game. No reading to get a perfect score if you don’t need to.

When you are 40 years old your college grades will likely have no bearing on your career prospects. Your social network will.
I don't know about Verizon, but all the cellphone carriers I know have carrier-grade NAT set up. That would mean the public IP they have would correspond with many customers with different private IPs. The article says Verizon matched the IP address with a particular AirCard, but maybe that was an oversimplification in the article.
Nice notes. I think the ‘other community’ notion can be thrown out, though, in favor of the anthropologist approach.

I have been practicing engaging with people who are culturally extremely different from me and learned the anthropologist approach works great when introduced with some humility. The other party gets curious and ideally asks the important questions themselves. Instead of a debate, it becomes more like fixing a car or computer together.

>"You can't bake good napolitan pizza"

Yes you can. Good dough, high thermal mass (baking steel) and thorough preheating are the most important points.

"Oh, but it doesn't get to 350/400/a quadrillion degrees like a real pizza oven does!" the peanut gallery cries.

A lot of great pizzarias don't bake their pizzas above ~300 anyway. Just turn your oven way up and let it preheat properly. It is not properly heated when the indicator bulb turns off. Give it at least another 15 minutes to get the baking surface thoroughly warmed through. If water droplets don't show the Leidenfrost effect on the baking surface, it is nowhere near hot enough.
>In fact, I'm adverse to hiring or selecting students with a 4.0. This typically indicates a poor optimization heuristic (GPA over learning/challenges/interests).

That’s a great way to phrase it.
Free Legal Services for Startups
The Startup Legal Garage at UC Hastings is a selective program that offers free legal services to early stage technology and biotech companies. These free legal services are worth an estimated $15,000 to $30,000 to an early stage company and are performed by top UC Hastings law students working under the supervision of attorneys from prominent law firms, such as Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, Orrick, Cooley, and Perkins Coie. We are currently accepting applications for our next session, which will run from August 20th through November 20th.

Our program is divided into two modules: Corporate and Patent. In the Corporate Module, the student/lawyer teams handle a wide variety of matters including entity formation, intellectual property matters and strategy (trademark and copyright), capitalization tables, and basic contract and personnel issues. On the Patent side, we focus exclusively on patent landscape surveys. Past clients have come from a variety of industries, including biotech, medical devices, finance, mobile services, payments, gaming, identity protection, bitcoin and fashion.

You can learn more about our program here: https://www.startuplegalgarage.org/
and apply here: https://www.startuplegalgarage.org/applications/

Applicants need to have less than $1 million in funding or pre-Series A and a strong tech or biotech component to their business model. They must also be past the “wet-napkin” stage; i.e. have a beta, an MVP, or a product already in market, and be ready to commit time to their legal needs.

Applications will close on August 3rd at 5pm. We will be reviewing applications on a rolling basis as they come in and will begin interviewing founders in late July. Accepted startups will be assigned to projects by the end of August.
Have any questions? Feel free to email us at startuplegalgarage@uchastings.edu.
Ask HN: What would you expect ( features-wise ) from an IT recruiting site?
I have seen a couple recruiting companies, specially those focused on IT recruiting, with websites just horrible ( and almost none with a mobile app ).

Not much more than a simple form to upload a CV, the best ones allow the candidate to apply to a specific opening, with minimal details...

What would you expect from this kind of business website ?
What UX concerns and features should be the minimal requirements for those sites/apps in 2018 ? Which are the best ones you have seen/used ?
Depends on the package. CLI tools that already work both Linux and some *BSD usually are pretty easy to port, often requiring only a small set of patches. GUI tools that use Qt shouldn't be too tricky either (the LibreOffice port is based on the Qt backend.) Other than that, it varies greatly by application.

HaikuPorts (https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports) is what handles the bulk of the work to get applications up and running. I guess the Ninja recipe (https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/blob/master/dev-uti...) and patchset (https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/blob/master/dev-uti...) are pretty typical for a CLI app, and the Qupzilla recipe (https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/blob/master/www-cli...) and patchset (https://github.com/haikuports/haikuports/blob/master/www-cli...) are roughly typical for a Qt app.

If you have some specific application you're trying to port, joining Freenode#haiku and then asking around may be worth your time. :)
Can I recommend that "MYmta" should be replaced with "MyMTA".
static typing doesn't appear to be an effective tool for encoding intent

Static typing is about as effective at encoding intent as intention revealing names. That is to say, if you are diligent and clever in how you structure and name things, a system can be very intention revealing.

HN user jerf has a method of revealing intent through types in golang, which he calls something like microtyping. Basically, everything has its own type, based on its domain semantics. So if you're using a float64 to store time deltas, you don't just use the float64. Instead, you base a TimeDelta type on float64.

type TimeDelta float64

Then golang allows you to attach methods to that type, which can then provide more opportunities for intention revealing. Also, this prevents a programmer from mistakenly using a float64 representing width and shoving it into a time calculation. Is this as ironclad as Eiffel Design by Contract or Haskell typing? No. However, I've been using it myself, and I can affirm that yes, the compiler will warn you about some semantic errors if you do it this way.

The big problem with the Intention Revealing Names pattern, is that there is no enforcement and that it is subjective. For this reason, it's likely to fall apart in a large enough project that lives long enough.
> but all the past evidence points strongly towards a combination of "this researcher is incompetent" and "these statistical methods are useless".

Your arguments seem to be based in unfamiliarity with the paper. Bem is an extremely well-regarded researcher in social psychology, he has hundreds of papers, several of which are seminal in the field and boast thousands of citations (this paper in particular has a citation score of 700+). Moreover this is a meta-analysis, not his own study.

While there has been some chatter about the statistical methods in those 700 citations, the fact is the methods are a lot better than the average social psychology paper (and this paper has attracted extraordinary scrutiny for the obvious reason). So if there is a problem in the paper (and of course there must be) there is a much larger problem in the standard practices in the field.

> pay-to-play journal like F1000Research

The original paper was published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology (https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:vd-Z7x...) but their website is down

> every single time somebody purported to have evidence for ESP, it turned that the typically tiny effect was a flaw in the experimental design, be that due to fraud or incompetence.

This is incorrect for the simple reason that it is much easier to make claims than it is to investigate them, and therefore, not all claims can be investigated. Perhaps you meant to say that of the proper subset of things we investigated turned out to be methodologically flawed, but then we have situations like the present paper, which somehow got through peer review. Of course we can continue to poke at it until we find what is wrong since we "know" it "has to to be there", but if science only produces the correct answer when we make it match the answer in the back of the textbook, it doesn't seem a good method for finding anything out.
I just want to say that the links to cancer, obesity and even some of the sleep problems are probably concluded from correlation, not experiments (since you can't say: hey you, please only use orange screens for the next 30 years and then we scan you for cancer X).

And I think this is a problem, since you can't now for sure that wether the cause is blue light or the lifestyle people who are exposed to a lot of blue light have (staying up late, long office jobs, who knows?).

To be clear, I do not refute the harm of blue light, I just want to suggest being cautious with the broader health effect claims.
Well, it's not really about any of that. It's the same stuff they have been saying, but what it is actually about is trying to say 'we are a neat community FOSS project' on one side, by actually being a generic commercial vendor that happens to have an open OS due to legacy reasons. In the 1.2.3 and early 2.0 days, it was all fine, before that it was mostly 'just monowall' and after that it was 'lets try to work full time on this stuff and make money'.

There is no reason to be assholes as other projects work fine using the same free open core + paid enterprise version, this is something Netgate-specific, probably due to the hardware business where you have physical things that lose value unless you unload them quickly.

Now, don't get me wrong here, I'm not saying commercial business of trying to sell hardware/software is inherently bad, but being pissy because someone else does it too is just weak.
> Its post-crisis journey has been one of trying to stoke inflation.

Well, “avoid deflation” would probably be more strictly accurate.
> Actually parent says sensitive and illegal, but it is beside the point. Criminals can't force the government to use their sensitive investigative techniques either.

You're playing semantics. Written language is not machine code, try not to be a faulty compiler :)

Sure, a criminal cannot literally force the government to use a sensitive technique.

But since the government tends to want to investigate all crimes it is capable of investigating, a criminal can easily create a situation where the costs involved with a prosecution (disclosing a sensitive technique, causing people to update opsec accordingly) outweigh the benefits (prosecuting a small time criminal).

The end result is that the government is figuratively forced to not prosecute a criminal despite having the capability to prove their guilt.

I wasn't talking about any particular language. Scala is an interesting example, you have some good software written in it (Kafka, Scalding, Finagle) even with not-so-good IDEs.

As for clojure, I have yet to find an environment as good as emacs+cider+nrepl.
Yes. To elaborate better, I would imagine most of the people involved probably want to be able to work in the industry again (or are still working in the industry) and are not independently wealthy and are keeping mum about the details they know. At least back then Blizzard the company was pretty secretive and we had to get approval for any media contact - it's probably like any larger organization, everything you see in the media is already pretty curated. The GDC presentation Dave Brevik tells about the Diablo 1 development process is extremely consistent and he's an excellent story teller - I heard almost the exact same thing in abbreviated form during my lunch interview more than 10 years before that and at some other candidates lunch interview when I went to that candidate's lunch as the interviewer.
