Here it's the opposite. Elementary starts earlier than middle school. I actually prefer this because our middle school age kid is fine to get out to the bus on her own. The elementary school twins not as much. I can leave for my train earlier this way.
CCAT-prime Telescope | Toronto | Developer | Full-time | ONSITE | https://ccatp.ca

We're building a 6-meter diameter telescope on a mountain in Chile's Atacama Desert to learn more about how stars form, the nature of dark matter and dark energy, neutrino masses, and the big bang.

The telescope will be shared by multiple instruments, and our group is building the joint software infrastructure: services for controlling the telescope, moving data around, monitoring, alerting, logging, etc.

Stack is still being decided but likely a mix of Go, Python, Redis, Postgres, etc. The telescope site is remote and hostile -- altitude of 5600m in the driest desert on Earth -- so we're focused on fault-tolerance.

This is a strange attitude to have. The prize was specifically designed to highlight the work of promising young Mathematicians so why is this an issue? It would be like complaining that the Little League World Series is ageist because it doesn't allow older competitors. Besides there is also the Abel Prize which is equally if not more prestigious, is open to any living Mathematician and has a far more substantial monetary prize attached.
> and should taxpayers be paying to give violent criminals a work-free existence

This is exactly the problem.

Recidivism is high because society doesn't give released prisoners any way to support themselves. Giving ex-cons a lifeline as soon as they get out would go a long way toward keeping them from ending up back in prison.

So yes. Taxpayers should give ex-cons (even violent ones) a way to support themselves without resorting to crime again. And we shouldn't release prisoners if they're still a danger, which means we should focus on rehabilitation instead of just punishment.

I think a ready-to-use peer-to-peer network component for service discovery would help a lot. Something like Bonjour/Zeroconf on the LAN, only for the whole internet.

A lot of apps and services don't really need to be centralized, eg. messaging, file sharing, online games...

But the problem is that writing peer-to-peer networking code is difficult, so people just set up a central server.

If there was a ready-to-use library that people could just use, a lot of devs would probably consider that. Would make scaling a lot cheaper...

(unfortunately everyone just talks about blockchains nowadays, and isn't interested in solving old problems)
Sr. Software Engineer @ Kinetica
(Machine Learning & Distributed Systems)
https://goo.gl/MnZ9ug

Kinetica seeks a Senior Software Engineer with Python and Distributed Systems experience. The Senior Software Engineer will be joining an accomplished team to help build out a green-field project -- a new product line for our company.

Our team of engineers is building out a scalable, distributed machine learning and data science platform with tight integrations and pipelines to a distributed, sharded GPU-powered database. This means the product would need to be developed in Linux and operate inside containers (Docker for us), work in a container-orchestrated environment (Kubernetes for us), operate in a scalable resource managed system (GPUs via Kubernetes) and interact with complex analytical systems (TensorFlow, etc.) Some of this, you’ll already be familiar with, and some of it we’ll learn along the way.

The Senior Software Engineer would work closely with the Product Owner to build out the product in Python and integrate all other parts (TensorFlow, Kubernetes, and our GPU-powered DB) using Python bindings to build and deliver an overall product (a REST API.) This role focuses on the backend and will interface with our front-end engineers who will write a ReactJS application atop the REST API.
They didn't say write-only access.

They said they only got R access instead of RW access.
"not just welcomed but fully included"

I have seen this on a small scale. As I said above, I worked with those in wheelchairs for around 15 years. The small group of people I worked with that were able bodied all became so familiar with so many handicapped people that when they were with us they were "fully included".

It became a natural reflex for us to open a door or lend assistance when eating a meal, etc. And for those who came to us fresh out of "rehab" we learned how to help them realize their abilities. Driving a vehicle was often far beyond what they imagined they could do when they came out of rehab and for good reason. Many of them couldn't pick up a cup to take a sip of coffee, for example, and we were teaching them how to drive a big Ford Van all by themselves.

But, in the larger population that kind of close interaction is rare and there will always be apprehension in some because they just don't know what adjustments they need to make to accommodate disabilities. The easiest thing to do is offer "If you need anything let me know".

That obviously doesn't work or doesn't mean anything.

That's why a Statutory fine for specific things such as:

* not stating an actual copyright infringement

* not being the registered owner or agent of the copyright

Those two would get rid of a LOT of abuse immediately. Such as people using DMCA for something not copyright related, such as to shut someone up for saying something they don't like. To silence criticism. Etc. Those are beyond clear examples of DMCA abuse.

The other is when someone who has no actual interest in the copyright merely uses the DMCA to silence something because they recognize it might be a copyright infringement -- whether the actual copyright owner cares or not.

Exactly. Banks have priced risk much better than you and they refuse to lend. What more do you know?

There are some cases where the capital needs are too small for large players to look at, but over all it's a fool's errand to invest in unrated junk bonds as an individual.
Completely agree. I think my back of the envelope calculations were that paying for a reasonable UBI in the US would require a new flat income tax in the 12% range, a wealth tax in the 2% per annum range, or a land value tax in the 8% range. I don't think that any of those would be too huge a disincentive for Mr. Musk - most of his ventures seem to yield either -100% or +30% per annum.
This is definitely more an edge case (and not really an intercept), but if the user has an iPhone with SMS forwarding set up (via iMessages), the "intercept" could occur by accessing the users iMessage account and waiting for the forwarded SMS to arrive.
The lack of sense of proportion that pervades HN when comparing US with other countries .. US is 7x bigger economy and 4x more population. Wyoming is larger than UK in area.

Some of the optimistic models do say US is at 1985 levels.
I have some personal websites that still run on Django 0.96. I also keep the source-code for them in svn and use Trac 0.12 (I think) for pretty-viewing the code in the repository. It’s nice seeing commits you made 11 or 12 years ago.
Betterlesson | Senior Software Engineer | Cambridge, MA | ONSITE | https://www.betterlesson.com/

BetterLesson empowers K-12 teachers to build a modern classroom: learner-centered, culturally responsive, and personalized. Instead of the conventional (and ineffective) format of professional development for educators—filling an auditorium for a day of sleep-inducing lectures—BetterLesson supports teachers for the entire school year with regular, 1:1, virtual coaching. We match each teacher with a world-class coach and then leverage our technology to study actual classroom performance, to suggest customized teaching strategies, to quantitatively measure impact on student learning, and to continuously improve teaching practice through rapid iteration. This process leads to off-the-charts teacher love (our data shows teachers love BetterLesson more than Apple users love their iPhones), high administrator engagement, and, most importantly, dramatic teacher and student growth.

Awesome, and thanks! :)
And I remember wildfires in California when I was a kid, too. Except now probably about 10 million people live closer to them and like to build houses in the way of them. (Oh, and let's not forget how many of those fires turn out to be less about "global warming" and more about arson. After a certain point, dry is just dry.)

The problem isn't what sets the fire. It's that the heat dries out the forests, making any fires larger and more devastating. For example: you can light a fire pretty much anywhere in an Eastern forest, because they're sufficiently wet that a fire won't grow very large. You could even do that a few decades ago in the West. But try that now in California, you and could start a thousands-acre conflagration so hot it kills the soil and doesn't burn out until literally all available fuel has been used up.

Did anyone ever admit their predictions about increased hurricanes during those 12 years were wrong? I never saw it. You just remember the images, not the 12 years of no images.

There have been way more hurricanes. Luckily for us, the oceans are very large, and most of those hurricanes did not make landfall.
I was one of the lucky kids who went to a very well funded school district because my parents managed to snag one of the, like, 15 housing units within it that didn't cost a million dollars a year to live in.

They had a really good after-school program for me and the other 30 or so kids whose parents had to work long hours with no flexibility. We were supervised by an adult to make sure we didn't kill each other but it was mostly about having free-time to do homework, read books, and play pick-up soccer or whatever.

Edit: To be honest, it's probably a better environment that we would have gotten at home, even with caring, attentive parents. We had access to the whole school library and our adult supervision actually knew our curricula so they could help us with the homework better than our parents could. Home computers weren't really a thing yet, so being able to use the shelf of encyclopedias was huge.
There's a typo in the beginning of the Next.js paragraph, developer -> developed.
FWIW, you have effectively just described the 'app' solution.

In that solution all of the tracking and analytics, fonts, and other 'baseline' content are part of the app, which then fetches the unique content (the few Kb of story text and Mb of images) and then renders it all locally. There is even some ability to do A/B testing in that setup.

The "App" itself is basically a browser with none of the non-content UI controls that browsers normally have, that can only go to a specific URL (the content supplier).
I don't find the code generation stuff that useful but I found it useful for its text manipulation features - like selecting all text within 2 nodes, editing a start and end tag at once.

Depends on how you define worst of the worst.

There aren't that many billionaires. So are you saying they aren't the worst of the billionaire class? That's really the only way I can see the phrase working.

> I mentioned to her that they can’t sell their stock without ceding control

What about changing voting schemes?

> Does it say something about someone’s heart if they aren’t building schools and hospitals the moment they obtain enough wealth to do so comfortably?

I think it says something about their heart if they are able to get that wealthy, with rare exceptions.
It's easy enough to melt them down to revive some value. It's only hard to sell them for their historic vs material value.

So, hopefully they already have a buyer lined up.
Slightly unpalatable solution: Removing anonymity solves the illegal content problem because the police know exactly who to prosecute. Not great for those living in authoritarian countries but also has the possible upside of solving the "influencing foreign elections" problem.

I wonder if there's a variant of Zooko's triangle for this. Moderated, anonymous, and decentralized?

Yup.

Also notable you got two quick replies, that both left out the Huawei part of the ban. I'm curious if you also get downvotes. Probably just my imagination tho here.

In Switzerland, Nespresso capsules are recycled a fair lot. You can find nearly anywhere nespresso capsules bins. Even more, when you buy capsules online, they give you a bag for you to throw your used capsules in. Once full, you simply drop it in your mailbox and the mailman takes it away.

They are then recycled: the aluminium is smelted, and the coffee grounds digested into methane which is then reinjected into the gas network
What are your criteria?
Not saying anything about Ruby in particular but you never want to skate away from the puck unless you’re near retirement and want to make some quick bucks - like people still writing COBOL.
Interesting business model indeed if this article https://techcrunch.com/2018/08/01/whatsapp-business-api/
is to be believed. Though the part of a business only being able to respond to customer initiated messages doesn't seem right - I, even now, get WhatsApp messages from bookmyshow and makemytrip (movie and travel booking portals in India) for bookings done, without me ever sending them a WhatsApp message. They were a part of the early adopter program. And the Twilio API also offers to send unsolicited messages for a fee ($0.0075 it looks like).
Yeah, because not using a second factor is less secure than using even a middling one?
Thanks, I did come across the Huffington Post link but the title itself wasn't obviously about Namibia so I missed it.

I appreciate you breaking this down. I've published nothing but I've worked with those who have and I've seen just how difficult this kind of research truly is. There's so many confounding factors, but they try and usually do a good job.

It frustrates me when these very complex issue are intentionally distorted. Reality and policy don't give a damn about anyone's beliefs, so it's important that we understand the holes in studies like this.

Thanks again.
Any word on pricing?
All of those examples are just passing off the risk of a bad deal from one person or business to another. The article is specifically about how the wording of a contract doesn't matter when both people are happy with it and want it to work.

If you want chargebacks and etc in Bitcoin that's perfectly possible but it's going to end up working the same way. There's always risk in dealing with a stranger.
Thing is, when looked at in the context of a whole lifetime, motivations change, and often radically. I have friends who couldn't have imagined themselves running a half marathon or a marathon who eventually went on to do so. 10 years ago I couldn't have imagined myself doing an obstacle race, but then I started working out[1] and, hey presto, the impossible became possible. I still don't want to run a marathon, even though I know I could, because of the compromises it would force on me in terms of strength training, depending on what kind of time I'd like to finish in.

[1] I couldn't have imagined working out either but at 36 years old I found myself getting tired out walking upstairs, and having a torrid time with any kind of reasonably intense physical activity, and realised I needed to do something about it to avoid serious health problems later in life - and possibly not that much later.
This Firefox add-on is super valuable for developers, I totally love it
I believe it is harmful to microbes, bacteria, and mold in the soil. But it is fine for plants already getting plenty of nutrients.

> With money comes mobility, so people are free to move somewhere cheaper

I think generally people are not very willing to move regardless of cost. It takes (on average) quite a large economic gradient to move people out of a location they are comfortable in. Social ties to a location can be very strong indeed.
