If you put it in your bag, you're more likely to fry something. Was extremely common with spinning rust media. Incidentally, the common cause was "close lid" action set to "sleep", but Windows being unable to actually put the computer to sleep for some reason.
The way you do this is to cd into your Windows system from within WSL. WSL can see files from the Win32 subsystem just fine.
Yea, we could, but that's not what their sponsors want.
Hey konschubert - understand what you're saying, but I'd strongly disagree that this is only a phenomenon in investment banking.

Roughly ~65% of hires for all Fortune 500 companies come from employee referrals, and top companies in all domains continually compensate existing employees with bonuses for helping hire their friends (because they know them well).

While it may be more prominent in some industries over others, connections matter everywhere. Instead of trying to change that reality, we're trying to find a solution that mimics parts of the magic that happens when your "insider" friend puts in a good word for you.

If someone on The Lobby thinks you're a good fit for the industry, we're aiming for their "Rating" to help you get some of that benefit you might get if a friend on the inside referred you and vouched for you.
Ugh, I forgot that. That didn't turn out so well if I remember.
Is anyone else under the impression this is just going to further cement the right-wing-nut majority on the Supreme Court for 40 years?

Kennedy was the only genuinely party neutral Jurist appointed by either party. They are going to replace him with another Gorusch ASAP to avoid the risk of losing in Nov.

That leads to 5 Party-Before-Country Justices sitting on the Supreme Court with the same ideological bent (GOP).
Ok, that's more realistic
I'm far from an expert so the following is just IMHO. The bad industries ones will be transformed before the good ones. What I mean by that is that computer vision applied to medical imaging would be huge. But the detection/classification isn't accurate enough for that field, just yet. Yes, results are amazing on standard datasets such as ImageNet but they fail to become equally good when there are orders of magnitudes less amount of data. And in the field, accuracy is very important, a net classifying cancer correctly 90 % of the time is likely useless.

One exception is automated language translation which is getting very good. I'm noticing that some of the articles papers I'm reading are machine translated. They appear to apply machine translation to English articles and then have some editor doing manual touch-ups which seldom is enough.

The "bad" industries such as spam and SEO can definitely benefit from ML as it exists today. There are ML algorithms (LSTM) that can generate faked web sites with images that, from Googlebot's point of view, are completely indistinguishable from real sites. Another use would be to generate realistic looking accounts in social media to steer the conversation, perhaps for political purposes. Porn obviously, could also use ML due to the huge amount of data (the porn itself and user interactions) available.

I don't think (fully) self-driving cars will exist in 2028. But who knows? Ten years is a loooong time.
Thanks to McConnell nuking the filibuster during the Gorsuch run-up, it's likely whatever candidate Trump proposes will be rubber-stamped. Unless a republican decides to defect, but as we saw with the tax vote the GOP will make sure they shore up every vote needed.

Hmm. Not sure I can agree. What would you call things like the Complexity Zoo? (Computational science? Part of mathematics?)
Then you should be comparing it to reduced redundancy S3, which is cheaper than regular S3.
Yes. Also, QuickBooks is accounting, which is supposed to be hard while "chatting" with people is supposed to be easy.

QuickBooks doesn't have to suffer in comparison to better UX performing similar tasks in people's personal lives while IRC can be compared (unfavorably) to texting apps, Facebook Messenger, Twitter, AIM once upon a time, etc.
Now you doubled CO2 emissions of your fleet and incentivize people to litter or dump in public trash cans.

A better solution would be human or robotic waste sorting at the dump, or clean incineration.
Easy if there were more alternatives. Most products are packaged in plastic with no alternatives. I recently saw a shop which is committed to selling everything in open crates (fruits/veggies - bring your own bags) or using only 100% recyclable materials (glass, paper or biodegradable plastic).
Not really. It's just a return to the olden days of internet communities, when users controlled the sites they posted on and people found groups to talk to about things that interested them (rather than being stuck on a giant platform owned by a large corporation).

And it's probably better for society in general that communities work that way. You don't want millionaires and oorporations controlling discourse, and in many cases, there are groups and communities who simply physically cannot use the same platform (those on complete opposite sides of the political spectrum for example).
Granted, it should be attacked from all sides, but how much of that do consumers actually need?

It's possible (not easy, nor very practical let's say) to have almost zero waste if you're really dedicated. This is 4 years worth of trash that fits in a mason jar: https://youtu.be/BxKfpt70rLI?t=30s

So making a pretty sizable reduction even as things are should be doable.
The 'McConnell option' is what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell did in the waining days of President Obama's term. I forgot the justice, but he/she retired, and Sen. McConnell held up President Obama's nominee until the Presidential election, hoping for President Trump to win. President Trump, of course, did, and he nominated Neil Gorsuch instead.

You could have a "super-vote" that readers could apply to other peoples' posts. It wouldn't boost visibility of the post, but it would reward the poster in some way.

Some ideas for rewards of being super-voted:
* Show some kind of badge or extra customization on their profile page

* Add a star or badge to their username's comments so they stand out as important (kind of like Twitter verified)

* Give the poster a percentage of the money
I’d be in favor of requiring manufacturers to take back unneeded product packaging, paying for postage if necessary.

Honestly, the managed environment that is a lisp runtime gets to put a lot of the power into the developer. Just look into the dissassemble abilities of most lisps. Combined with many of the type hints you can give them, it really just changes the dynamic of when things happen. Such that, it really doesn't resemble one more than the other. Just depends what you want.

> What is being/can be done to get companies to stop using plastic in packaging?

On the "is being done" front, order stuff from the Amazon Basics line, which packages everything in (1) cardboard that is (2) easy to open without slicing your own fingers.

Products sold at retail are purposefully put in huge plastic envelopes that are nearly impossible to open. This serves two goals related to preventing shoplifting - the thief can't get the tiny item out of its packaging while in the store, and the packaging is too large to carry out of the store without being obvious. It's all downside for customers.

But selling goods by mail-order doesn't have shoplifting problems, so shippers are free to use packaging that's less likely to injure the customer. The catch is that you need to buy something that is never intended to be sold retail anywhere.
well transaction pooling is good for most databases.

consider having 10 upstream connections per transaction pool and 10000s of connections to applications.
pgbouncer can handle that and every application would only be assigned to a real database if a transaction/query happens and after that the upstream connection would be deassigned.

Ask HN: Anyone else using Hacker News as a `dopamine hit`?
I love HN. It's my only news source. But I'm finding that more often than not, I'm not taking the time to `fully` read articles. I spend most of my time identifying interesting posts, reading the intro, skimming a bit, looking for the bold section headers, getting some quick brain stimulation and the moving on to the next article. I want to focus and read the whole article but I feel like I'm using HN as a brain stimulating dopamine hit instead.

I find myself overwhelmed the sheer number of interesting concepts. Most of these articles are written by sheer experts in their fields. How does one spend the time to learn it all? I wish I could get a PhD in everything. Anyone else have this feeling/problem? How do you deal with it?
Don't regulate packaging, put a Pigouvian Tax on it. It's far better.
They aren't compelled to give anything -- though they might embarrassed that they attained Platinum level after Microsoft did.
Just a quick note - your pricing page seems to have a mathematical error that would turn me off as prospective buyer. The "Standard" package offers three calls. The crossed out price ($190) should be equal to 3x the basic price ($60), or $180. Seeing sales pages with lies or mistakes around the savings makes me worry that I'm getting cheated.

Doesn't they power you and your entire business and the web ? Search , Gmail , G Suite , Docs , Chrome , G Analytics , Firebase , Angular etc... For almost nothing per month ?

Money isn't everything , it's nice that they give more money but when you see their contributions level in Github ... They are literaly one of the biggest open source contributors on earth so I don't even see why they bother with that.
I can certainly share some of the meatier areas that engineers at Gusto work on.

- Calculating payroll and filing quarterly and annual forms are very complicated tasks that (a) is different in every state and (b) changes frequently as federal, state, and local tax laws change. Doing payroll in 50 states is similar to doing payroll in 50 different countries

- Benefits is similar to Payroll in the sense that it's also very different in each state. The business logic is complex and a significant amount of engineering work goes into simplifying it for us customers

- Because we move billions of dollars per month through the banking system, we have a lot of the same technical challenges as a Stripe, Square, Paypal, Venmo, etc. We have a dedicated FinTech, Payments, and Risk teams for this.

- Security is super important to us, since we have a lot of PII/PHI and financial informaiton

- Gusto is about 600 employees today and we invest in lots of internal tools for non-engineering functions, an enterprise data warehouse, and security.

- We are also looking into what the future of payroll looks like. A personal goal of mine is to rid the world of the concept of a "payday". Why shouldn't employees get paid whenever they want for the work that they did? https://techcrunch.com/2018/06/21/gusto-flexible-pay/

- Technical debt: When you grow as fast as Gusto does, you inevitably accrue technical debt and it's important that we carve our engineering resources to keep that low.

There's a lot more in there, but hopefully it gives you a sense of how 100 engineers can add up pretty quickly!

Could there be a more classic form of bikeshedding? It would seem parodic if it weren't sadly real. This has become more of a thing on HN lately. It needs to become less of a thing.

Good feedback, I'll make it clearer, this is a confusing state
Minus "AI" and it's like the same goal for every product/service. I get AI but the term is so over-used now it's just implied as "smarter" which is subjectively true. I don't always need smarter products, rather more relevant and useful. The simple fact that a poor UX in front of "smarter" services can destroy the whole concept.

I do think there is a bigger picture than reservations so for example if I knew that an action just took place the opportunities for highly targeted advertising knowing the context of what just happened could be significant. Feed Google's cash cow.
The big risk is that if Trump is eventually indicted and the dems capture the senate and house, we may see an attempt to impeach both Gorsuch and a radical right-wing justice. If Trump decides to pick a centrist or even slightly-left-leaning judge, it's likely Gorsuch will not be challenged.
True. In those instances, I would manually put it to sleep via the Start Menu button.

However, I've had my laptop wake up from Sleep while in a bag several times, causing it to overheat. That pissed me off. If I recall correctly, I think it was a Bluetooth event causing it to wake up.

Hey benmanbs. Thanks for the kind words. We'll fix this, but this wasn't meant to be misleading.

It's actually more because not every call costs $60. For example, ~90% of our users buy calls that are in the $65-$70 range as one of their many calls.

We tried to convey that even in the 1 call option it's an "Average" price of $60, but we still haven't done a good job of conveying this.

Assuming you choose 3 calls that are more than $65 or $70, the number is actually even higher than $190, but we still discount it down to $170 no matter who the 3 insiders are, to entice you to buy multiple calls.

Hope this makes sense and will work on improving how this is communicated.

Symmetric Microsoft Basic Optical Mouse, configured for right-handed use but on the other side of the keyboard. I left-click with my left middle finger, and scroll and right-click with my left index finger.

It's great having the mouse to the left of the keyboard - so much less distance to move my hand when I switch from the keyboard to the mouse!

(I used to just use a mouse right-handed, but then RSI/OOS kicked in and I switched over. I wish I'd done it sooner!)
I recall reading something about periscope windows years ago in a book about the University of Minnesota's centre for underground buildings. It was said that looking through the periscope window from underground resembled watching a live diorama in an aquarium. I imagined something like a tilt-shift movie. Ever since reading that description, I have always wanted to see a real periscope window.

I use Windows 10 at work and at home, and in my experience it's been more stable than Windows 7, which I similarly used at home and at work for years. Annoying mandatory updates aside (and now less annoying since you can control when they happen), Windows 10 is pretty much the same Windows experience as before, in a slightly different skin.

One thing I noticed that was fixed with Windows 10 that was a problem in Windows 7: my laptops now handle state properly after the lid is closed (assuming you use hibernate or sleep rather than just screen-off).
What makes you think that nobody can get the billion?

Insurance policies require you to pay a certain amount guaranteed, then pay back a much larger amount if something unlikely happens. So Pepsi had to pay $10 million. If the right thing happened during the game then Berkshire Hathaway would have paid a billion, and some lucky consumer would have walked away a newly minted billionaire.
Not that I'm aware of. I've used both the VM 4 and the VM C. Some weight and fit and finish would be nice. The C certainly feels nicer than the 4. I keep trying other things but eventually gravitating back to this.

Could someone elaborate on how accurate the results of these simulations are generally considered to be by the broader scientific community? It seems to me that the universe is so insanely complex that any simulations we can currently make would be fairly inaccurate because of lack of knowledge. Couldn't that cause a problem of building a whole base of theory on unproven guesses? I guess the researchers all know that but I'm just curious what the actual attitude towards this kind of work is.

Google has dropped hints on how it may use Duplex in the way you say - reservations are just a way to train it.

Advice: tell this story! Create a video where you describe this same thing, and promote it on the right channels. You can even add production value by showing b-roll of specific points of your story, such as footage from on-campus recruiting. Perhaps include interviews/testimonials from those happy customers that you mentioned.

Your point about spending thousands on education while simultaneously having an aversion to paying recruiters is especially prescient. When presented in this manner, it’s likely an aha moment (was for me), and is probably going to improve conversion rates.

Stories sell, and you have a good one here.

Thank you. I observe the same sentiment of unjustifiable certainty with so many deep issues among popular journalists and scientists. Simulation theory, the potential disaster(s) of AI, not to mention political topics. When even smart people are blind to weaknesses in their position, I despair, and go back to funny gifs.
