Here is the conclusion:

It's hard to choose words in some cases; I feel it now. I'm not sure the author's attempt brought successful results. Did the author just study what would happen if she asks those questions? Then she probably succeeded, but the conclusion doesn't seem to support that the goal was just to observe. Did she try to find a common ground? Then she probably failed, in a sense that she found some ways which don't work.
The idea that we should eliminate the unpleasant parts of our history is pretty fucking wild.

Basically yes - get a bolt die cutter in 10-1.25 size, re-cut the threads on the bolt (their welded in, otherwise I'd just replace the bolt) and buy a new nut. No big deal - just a PITA.

While the OEM spark plugs might be OK for a stock car, it's been tuned by a shop for more boost and soon I'll be running a methanol injection system - so, lifetime of the spark plugs drops to every 10-15k miles, so I've been told.

> There's really solid evidence that increasing classroom time increases learning.

There's really solid evidence that intellectual performance drops sharply long before 40h/week. Unless the "classroom time" you talk about includes a lot of off-time and non-butt-in-seat activities it seems you'll be deep into diminishing returns if not outright losing if you increase the length of the school day. My own memories of schools are that by late afternoon many students had stopped following altogether.
That's true for the nice layered cakes so common in parts of Europe (my favorites are the Finnish cakes with a sponge-cake layer and then a lot of berries, maybe bananas or kiwis, other fruits, cream). I think there is less moisture-spread with a buttercream frosting and an American sponge cake. The two sponge recipes are quite different: the Finnish layer cake has much more in common with Passover cakes that don't use leavening and only use, for instance, potato flour; the American sponge cake uses butter and wheat flour and baking powder for leavening. Somehow there is a different effect to moistening such a cake with juice or liqueur, as one commonly does with the Finnish sponge cake.

Ok. Now I'm hungry.

Well yes, my original comment was mostly a joke after all.

Anyway, self driving cars will only get better, and the more of them there are the better they will be, because no humans around doing weird things who don't talk over the SDC network to explain where they're going
Agreed. Using Finland as an example is absurd. Finland has a very wealthy, very homogeneous population. Longer school days are designed, in this case, to keep many of these kids in a safe environment for as long as possible.
From what I remember, object spread came a year later and is ES7 (in case you need a starting point for research)

I was under the impression that some electrics and hybrids in electric mode played simulated engine noise through speakers to both alert nearby pedestrians that the vehicle is moving and to reassure the driver that it is operating normally.

I wouldn't put it past a manufacturer or aftermarket parts maker to play "vroom vroom" noises over the sound system at speeds too low for the driver to actually hear anything from the passenger compartment. If you can put an aluminum spoiler on a stock Honda Civic, you can put an engine noise simulator on your sound system.
It's possible that things are changing over time.

When the mathematical knowledge increases, does the general character of the mathematical problems stay the same in the terms of required work and time? It's possible the problem set that young people can solve before they turn 40 will decrease after some time.
Ask HN: How do you pick one idea to focus on?
I'm currently applying for Startup School, and I'm torn between two projects I've been working on.

The first is to build an early warning system for various diseases (malaria, dengue fever) and public health problems, something I've been working on in grad school and a few large orgs have shown interest in paying for.

The other is a personal preventative health dashboard that gives you dynamic predictive suggestions based on your diet, genetics, fitness and sleep data.

I have the experience and passion to build both, and they both actually slot into an ecosystem together, but one is b2b with long sales cycles and the other is b2c in a crowded health app market. One of the things I prioritize is maximizing the value I can deliver to the most people. What would you choose and why?

Also, if you'd like to hear my thoughts on these in more depth, I'd be happy to talk! I also wrote a short piece about it recently -> https://medium.com/technomancy/a-humble-proposal-the-human-healthcare-stack-e9e82eb8eff
Yes, but I never implied a year by year analysis either: https://www.forbes.com/sites/trucksdotcom/2016/05/23/a-glanc...

I never implied that these were hard facts they were my opinion. What is your opinion? We need more trucks on the road? To me 1:135 is out of control- that's my opinion.

> If the kids we're coming from stable, supportive home environments where learning can take place outside the classroom, you might be right.

The entire point of the finnish model is that this doesn't happen, there is no homework and there is no suggestion or expectations of parental teaching. There is extensive support for both kids and their parents (including good free meals and teacher-provided tutoring), but all teaching is done by the teacher.
Seriously? Any person can go buy a gun and attack a mall. Ban guns and people can take a knife into a preschool. Ban knives and someone can go carjack a person with a tire iron.

Every single person and corporation is always in a position to act with evil or not. It is impossible to create a society where it is impossible to place people in a position where they have to rely on their morality to act correctly. You can only create a society which instills the right morals; you can support the entities which act with the right morals, and punish those who don't.

But go ahead and try to design a society where no one has the freedom to be evil; you might have missed the week of high school english where we read 1984.

SEC | Application Developer | New York, NY | ONSITE

We're building the U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission’s next generation of analytic platforms to keep our markets safe, effective, and trusted. We’re looking for high-quality developers to design and build state-of-the-art, big data applications. Our world-class developers become full-stack experts and educated about the financial markets and security regulations.

Join a small team of talented developers, capable researchers, and former finance people. We use a modern stack of python, pandas, JavaScript/Typescript, React, and other supporting technologies (e.g. flask, klein, Node, R, and kdb+/q).

We’re hiring for 2 positions:
1) Full-stack developer (3+ years of software development experience, proficient with some of our stack)
2) Python developer (2+ years of software development experience, proficient in python development, proficient with using Linux)

The ideal candidate will also have some experience in:
- Cloud development
- Financial security markets/investing
- Data science

If you meet the above qualifications, please apply! We offer great pay and perks.

Candidates must have worked/studied in US for a minimum of 3 years and be able to work onsite in New York City. For more information or to apply, please send your resume to careers@aretecinc.com.
Please don't take this the wrong way, but what do you need to do in very large files that requires a fancier editor?

I know people will give me shit for this, but this is one of the reasons why I like to have multiple tools for multiple use cases.

Atom is for development. It's for programming in source files and being basically an IDE that I have a lot of control and customization over.

When I need to work with long logfiles or hunt through large compiled text files, I use something like Sublime. And if the files get absurdly large (like 5GB+) I start reaching for CLI tools.

I completely understand that many don't want to work like that, and if it works for you then that's awesome! But I like my tools to be good at what they do, and if that means tradeoffs in areas that other tools are good at, then it's fine with me.

Even if Atom could never open a file over 100kb, I'd still use it daily, because it's plugin ecosystem, customization, and the ease that you can write very custom plugins for it is unparalleled. And if atom ever starts giving those things up to be able to open larger files, i'm going to be quite upset.

This subthread may very well be contributing to the submission sinking: one of the factors involved is the "overheated discussion detector", which, as I understand it, takes into account rate of comments.

From the FAQ:

> How are stories ranked?

> The basic algorithm divides points by a power of the time since a story was submitted. Comments in comment threads are ranked the same way.

> Other factors affecting rank include user flags, anti-abuse software, software which downweights overheated discussions, and moderator intervention.

https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html

In general, comment threads like the one you've started generate more heat than light (19/116 comments as of this writing). If you think something odd is going on, contact the mods via the Contact link in the footer, as they're the ones who can actually view what's happening and do something about it.

Otherwise, the best thing you can do is make insightful, substantive comments to the thread yourself.
King & Union | Front-end developer and Python developer | Washington, DC | ONSITE FULL-TIME

The point: We are an information security/threat intelligence company. Our goal is to make the threat intelligence process run more smoothly and help organizations share threat data better. Our web app pulls threat information (both our own and via external APIs) into a graph and enables real-time collaboration and sharing of the information on the graph. (If you're aware of the tools, think of combining Google Docs with a graph editor like Maltego and mix in some process automation.)

What we're looking for: We're looking for two positions: one a mid/advanced front-end developer for the front end of our web-based application; the other a mid/advanced back-end developer. The front-end is built with React/Microcosm/Material/Vis.js, and it talks to our backend using a mix of REST and WebSockets. The back-end is built in Python with Django/Django Channels. Ideally, the UI person we're looking for would be comfortable doing both the React programming side of things as well as the HTML/CSS/layout work, and the backend person would be comfortable with some Golang/command line work. There would also be some design work as we roll out new features to the site and migrate data graph db in the near future.

Perks of the job: early round shares, competitive salary, 401k, & healthcare benefits. Also, we work from home a lot and our focus is on getting the work done, not on face time.

A bit about us: We are a pre-A-round startup. We have a working product and paying customers, so we're in a good spot financially. We are based in Alexandria, VA but as mentioned above, working from home is common. We tend to meet up in Alexandria once a week.

We encourage all who are interested to contact us. You can reach me at: aaron@kingandunion.com

Just about any keyboard (mechanical or otherwise) can be used on a Mac. Inside of System Preferences there is a way to remap your command, alt/option, & caps lock, & control key locations if your keyboard doesn't have a way to flash a custom keymap.

I suggest checking out https://reddit.com/r/mechanicalkeyboards and https://geekhack.org.

My first Mechanical was a Das Ultimate 3 with Cherry MX Browns which I used for years on Mac, Windows, & Linux without customizing anything. I've since had numerous keyboards with various switches (Cherry MX Browns, Gateron Browns, Cherry MX Reds, Zealios, Cherry MX Silent Blacks, Topre, Cherry MX Silent Reds, Tealios, and others). I've used full size layouts, TKLs, 75%'s, 65%'s, 60%'s, and more.

My two primary boards right now are 2 HHKB BT's which utilize Topre electrostatic capacitive switches you can learn more about how Topre works here: https://deskthority.net/wiki/Topre_switch. One of my HHKB BT's is used primarily on my MacBook Pro and the other is used primarily on my Windows 10 & Linux desktop. I also have a build in the works for a new Cherry MX Silent Black 60% with a layout that matches the HHKB Pro 2 layout.

Most of the keyboards I've mentioned have actual fully customized keymapping abilities so you can setup layers, remap keys to wherever you want (if you use DVORAK or other layout that isn't QWERTY, etc).
