Just because the essays are auto graded doesn’t mean no human will ever see them. It takes far far longer to grade an essay than it does to skim 3 sentences randomly and confirm that it’s bullshit and get the student expelled for attempting to cheat.

Wow, 50c party members trolls on HN (see [1])?

Taiwan is the proof that
Chinese culture and democracy
don't mix well.

Could you elaborate on this wild claim? While you do so, please bear in mind that pretty much every authoritarian ruler ever in human has justified itself by claiming that his subjects are not ready for, or not interested in democracy.

Chiang Kai-shek rules Taiwan with an iron fist, and democratisation began for real only in the 1980s, including allowing free press, lifting bans on new political parties. Incidentally it was Chiang Ching-kuo, who was appointed by Chiang Kai-shek as premier, see [2] for more detail. Taiwanese citizens are certainly very happy with their blossoming democracy, and are a shining beacon that the mainland will hopefully eventually follow.

break into smaller counties like EU.

Why would it be a bad thing if China would split into smaller countries? Smaller countries are much less dangerous to their neighbours than big countries when they fail catastrophically (note that all countries fail catastrophically from time to time).
BTW, The EU is composed of smaller countries, and a voluntary organisations. Maybe the mainland should charm Taiwan (and HK) into a voluntary union, rather than bully and terrorise?

(In fairness, it must be said that both, Mainland China, and the states making up the EU, have a long and violent history of warring states.)

It's an SPA written in react, so unsurprisingly it requires javascript. Preloaders being harmful is purely your opinion, and your example of why they're harmful doesn't seem convincing to me.

I can see a case for a static version of the site being available, and I think with a bit more work they could have generated one from the react source.

That said, and this is more of a generalization, I think hacker news has a bias towards JS-free sites. Accessibility is an issue, but you can have a fully accessible JS-based site. JS can make it difficult for a scraper to interact with a site, but a separate xml (or whatever) document would be better to allow scraping anyway.

Basically, when developing a site at some point you decide how much effort you're going to put into supporting users who don't have javascript (usually out of choice), and for most people the answer is zero.

During our work as mobile developers we have created a set of automation tools which now we suggest to mobile developers as a service.

This reminds me of the Versant test, which is a computer-graded test of speaking ability in various languages. A friend of mind had to take it and I quickly realized it was both inaccurate and highly gameable.

The full story is that my friend was very fluent in English (though still far from native) but did very poorly twice. I spent some time reading the company's PR and an interview with the founder and realized that they weren't even trying to grade content, only fluency.

So I advised my friend to just speak fast and constantly, even if it didn't make sense. If your story goes down a dead end, or you realize your last verb didn't match this object, don't pause, don't go back, just keep the words coming out. It worked perfectly and she aced it the third time.
It looks like there is only a couple million $$ of paid up share capital in the paper trail. How did they finance purchase of so many oBikes?
This scratches the surface of why I hope C slowly fades away as the default low-level language. C sounds simple when you look through K&R C. C lets you feel like you understand the stack, ALU and memory. A pointer is just an integer and I can manipulate it like an integer.

But the reality is filled with a staggering number of weird special cases that exist because memory doesn't work like a simple flat address space; or the compiler needs to optimise field layouts, loops, functions, allocations, register assignments and local variables; or your CPU doesn't use the lower 4 bits or upper 24 bits when addressing.

C has no way to shield common language constructs from these problems. So everything in the language is a little bit compromised. Program in C for long enough and you'll hit a lot of special special cases – usually in the worst way: runtime misbehavior. Type punning corruption, pointers with equal bit representations that are not equal, values that change mysteriously between lines of code, field offsets that are different at debug and release time.

When using fundamental language constructs, we shouldn't need to worry about these ugly special cases – but C is built around these ideas. The need to specify memory layouts, direct memory access and other low level access should be gated by barriers that ensure the language's representation and the machine representation don't tread on each other's toes.

Rust has a long way to go but is so much more robust at runtime. I think there's room for other languages to occupy a similar space but they're need to focus on no-std-lib no-runtime operation (not always the sexiest target).
Actually the evidence is extremely poor, largely because 'spanking' seems to cover anything from a slap on the bottom to beating around the face with your fists.

If you have evidence to the contrary, please provide it.
Quartz begins a new chapter. A letter from our editor in chief and publisher
If it possible to replicate the grades (i.e. different teachers give the same work the same mark) then it's possible to write rules for the grades. If it's possible to write rules, it eventually gets possible to automate it. In either case it's possible to game the system if you know the rules (as you've said).

The underlying problem is high-stakes testing. Remove that, and you remove the need for formulaic testing, and remove the incentive to game the testing. I'm not suggesting that means dropping rigor and consistency from the curriculum - there are other ways to achieve those, and they involve human effort i.e. talking to people. Which costs time and money.

The way my step sons live strikes me as having much less autonomy than I had at their age. I’m still boggles that young kids aren’t allowed to walk to school by themselves.

Most of the time, I tend to think as long as good basic care is taken of kids, they can work out all sorts of weird child rearing environments just fine.

Something that has given me pause though is the astonishing addictive power of the various “screen” which occupy so much attention. Unibiquitous telecommunication is something new in human history, and it really grabs hold of people, the young as much as anyone. My concern is that our highly tuned psycho-physiology has not evolved to handle the type of activity, and it’s distorting our consciousnesses, and ability to pay attention, in ways that are unhealthy.

(Similarly to how humans have a hard time with too much access to processed food with high calorie amounts.)
Computational Necromancy: MOST-POSITIVE-BIGNUM on the TI Explorer
> I can't say that I trust the original humans grading thousands of SAT essays prior to any ML assistance though.

I think you are underestimating human beings here. Sure humans would make errors, but literacy and reading comprehension are skills that all of the graders would have. If ML solutions are not recognizing obvious repetition, markov-chain text, excessive excerpts/quotations, or bbb bbbb bbbbbbb bbb bb; then it is likely that they are grading on an entirely different level of interpretation below the humans.

(1) Not that free. You can enter for up to 90 days, without right to work or settle, with mandatory registration where you stay. After that, you have to leave, if you don't have the permit to stay longer or work. The only advantage EU citizens have is, that they can get the permit in Switzerland; all the others have to go to embassy in their home countries.

Switzerland is a classic model of controlled borders and mandatory visa regime, which in some cases and for some purposes can be waived.

(2) What happened in Germany and some other EU countries in 2015, is antithesis to gradual opening of the border.

(3) That's only for the citizens of EU; not for citizens of third countries, i.e. not exactly what proponents of open borders fight for.

I remember reading this was not an issue because the minerals in the water binds with the pipes and create a coating inside the pipe, so any water running through it doesn't come in contact with the actual lead pipe. Does anyone know anything more about that?

Basic Factors to Check Before Developing Mobile App
I did mention that: But there is of course option of discovering something that we don't even imagine at this point and this could have practical implications.

Also, I wrote "From this one could reason". I, myself, actually hope that we will get some breakthroughs, because established theories make ridiculous predictions or require equally ridiculous fine tuning. One example is vacuum catastrophe: "the worst theoretical prediction in the history of physics". We have had similar prediction in the past e.g. "ultraviolet catastrophe" that lead to the whole idea of "quantum".

But IMO the issue here may be more fundamental. Testing quantum gravity theories requires energies way beyond stupidly high energies like in LHC. As I understand, the requirement follows from the theory. It's like light speed limit, it's not something you can engineer around to see in lower energies. You can engineer your way up to get these energies, but there doesn't seems to be a short cut like with positive feedback loops in case of A-bombs.

Chicago Pile 1, first nuclear reactor cost 50 000$ at the time, so something below 1 million $ today. Most of historically important experiment then was even cheaper. We stumbled upon lot of things because we were doing sort of cheap random search around things we did not understand. Most importantly cheapness of these experiments coincided with potential of practical applicability. I fear that this is mostly over, because as far as I know we don't have fundamentally inexplicable phenomena, I stress "fundamentally", that we can play around with cheaply. LHC budget is somewhat around 10 billion $, JWST another 10 billion $, LIGO somewhat around 1 billion $. And as I understand this is nothing in comparison to what would be required to reject e.g. string theory.

If you can't experiment with it cheaply I doubt that you can apply it cheaply.

Yes, I work in the industry. Flash boys is misleading garbage, it's a long form advertisement for IEX.

What a broker does has nothing to do with how market orders work. The strategy you're describing also doesn't really work because any respectable broker is sweeping all of the exchanges at once - the regulations considered this possibility and allowed this behavior. Also, many of the liquid symbols have single cent spreads making this strategy impossible.
Thanks for the link. It looks interesting.

I look forward to reading it later.

I'll probably still end up doing the extra sugar when I feel like that particular type of dough (usually thin ones) since it's a different type of crunch.
I'm not parent, but just a note from me: I drove a brand new Volvo XC40 last week that had adaptive cruise control. If someone just cut in to the front of me the car slammed on its brakes even if it wasn't necessary. The car could just as easily slow down gradually until necessary space was free in front of the car (as I usually do when I don't have adaptive cruise control).
He never did as far as I can tell, the FBI did presumable because they initially thought he was hacking and the name stuck.
Ask HN: What highly scalable thing have you built with Go?

Not bad points, but I won't believe youre first statement (Re: "tripling down" on automation) without a citation.

The heart of what's going on (good or bad; I tend to think it's bad for society in general) does not lie on the surface, instead it's rooted on the flawed notion that profits to appease shareholders should be maximised and indeed prioritized over corporate goals that benefit society in general.

Increased automation and productivity are a good thing. They have the potential for increased standards of living for all. Unfortunately, the profits from increased productivity are not being redistributed/recycled into higher wages and a more educated workforce, they are instead being hoarded at the top by shareholders accumulating wealth.

That's certainly the prerogative of shareholders, but it's a foolish shortsighted bet. This faulty thinking is depleting a large consumer base because an increasing number of people have less to spend on taxes, and also products/services that these same companies sell. So, they're basically stealing from the future to eat heartily now. The future of our children, as a result will have a less educated and poorer populous, resulting in more crime, litter/pollution, and likely even a social atmosphere ripe for violent revolution thanks to the increasingly segregated wealth gap. It is what it is, and you can bet your sweet bippy that I'm not selling the stock I've accumulated for the good of the masses in the long term. However, I don't think it needs to end poorly.

If you want to dig into this deeper, I highly recommend "WTF? What's the Future and Why It's Up to Us," by Tim O'Reilly.(1)

It explains the philosophical shift that needs to occur to repair our societal trajectory, not just for the sake of the 99%, but also the 1% (and even the 0.01% where the worlds wealth reserve is truly accumulating).

How did it bring someone's life in line with everyone else when they're still unable to buy the things other people can buy? Do you realise that once the cleaner is more expensive than a Japanese toilet is to maintain, the cleaner will be fired and will have nothing instead?
There is no onesize solution. If you fund the fsf then little capital flows to bsd and vice versa. Some divides can't be papered over and one person's worthy cause is another's anathema. I dislike Theo de Raadts public image enough to find funding openbsd distasteful and linus' statements have the same problem but both undeniably do more good than bad and deserve funding. Even stallman deserves funding.

I think more orgs need Patreon and like giving channels but I worry the channel nickel and dime waters down the give. I used btc to pay a bsd charity and it was hugely painful so don't believe the hype of frictionless payment in crypto either.

I don't think I'd be able to, honestly. Evil is a loaded word, millennia of oversimplification to explain a process that's much more complicated.

Is a lion evil when it tears apart an antelope and eats it alive, or is that just it's instinct, it's nature, without higher cognition?

Again, evil, loaded term. People do terrible things, but I'm not a psychologist, and honestly, I'm not a sociopath, so why would I decide to act like a sociopath to sociopaths (lack empathy), and allow myself to be convinced that that somehow fixes the problem?

That's like believing killing is going to get rid of war. Clearly I'm privileged to never have experienced such things directly, but I can understand why some Buddhist monks self immolate as a form of protest.
I’m attributing the reason for this to the mass of mobile/social users who changed the search market. Most people from these groups search for naturally popular things like Saylor Twift [legs] or whatever it is in the trends right now. I wish we had unpopular search engines that suck at pop. I also miss directories – while not fully complete, they gave a good overview on technology sections and many more that you cannot just google since you don’t know it exists. Before the internet my family had a big encyclopedia collection that I as a kid occasionally opened/skimmed and read about something new. It is not possible with wikipedia and the internet since it is now overwhelming and has no good place to start anymore. Our average attention volume is so narrow (relative to amount of information) that it became a product. Also, I miss the days when you had to investigate a topic, make yourself fluent in it and enter ‘the club’ of highly interested people. Now anyone can google a shallow pop-info on anything and pretend to be educated in it in minutes. That degraded many good groups as a result.
do any of those IDs belong to missing persons i wonder.

Nice game. A killer feature (as with any board game) would be asynchronous play, meaning you could start a bunch of games with different people and finish them at a later date, and be notified when it's your turn. It's being implemented in very few games these days.
