This is incorrect. A lot of times people are still learning about the topic they are asking a question on, so its often a case of they dont know what they dont know and simply do not have the means yet to properly ask the question. Mostly because they do not have a great depth of knowledge on the subject already, hence the question.

This is also why questions should not be closed as duplicates; it is perfectly acceptable to ask the same question in a different manner as for someone else may find it useful. Do elementary school teachers not answer a child's question because another child asked it similarly in the past? It's more harmful to click on a dozen links to see them all closed as dups and try to find the one that isnt a dupe that hopefully can help you with the question.

Do not blame them for trying to learn, or how they are going about doing it. It's a QA site, not a rewrite the manual on programming languages site.

I think this is an example of why college isn't for everyone; and if it is for everyone, not all at the same time.

These people are literally there because they're scared (or, rather ingrained) to think about where else they should be.
Presumably there is a limit to this, after all at some point in the distant past we started adding curbs, signage etc in an attempt to improve road safety.

The recommendations are still being reviewed and digested, but the definition of qualified business looks promising for owners of product-based tech businesses above the crucial $157k/$315k income point. Everyone qualifies up until that point, but not after if you have a consulting business.

Between this and the changes that discourage stock-based compensation, I wouldn't be surprised to see a lot more tech jobs being posted as consulting jobs.
Right, but so are parental income and parental achievement.

And last I checked, there is a strong correlation between maternal educational achievement and child educational achievement even after controlling for various things including wealth. The correlation with paternal achievement when controlling for other factors is much lower.

Your comment is at odds with my perception of the system of bail in the U.S. It was quite illuminating. Thanks for the reference to the paper. The system is much more nuanced than I thought it was. I guess this is the danger of reducing a complex system to a set of simple black/white statements.
Or 5) let you out on no cash bail, while still pursuing charges.

I’m sympathetic to the no-cash bail movement, though I’ll admit that there are a lot of edge cases to worry about. Plus, it may unfairly distort the calculation of who truly is a risk to release if you combine it with the possibility of suing for wrongful imprisonment on a not guilty verdict.
Over here, in Germany, specifically NRW, it's quite literally true - a bunch of local councils hold a lot of RWE (local coal company) shares and fund local services from dividents. They were very upset a couple years back when RWE decided not to pay out dividents. Here's a news article from back then (in German) https://www.welt.de/wirtschaft/energie/article152907251/Waru...

> Oh gosh, the number of inefficient solutions, horrible architectures, brain-dead encryption systems I saw, because of the people who did not bother to open a book.

No, no chaining. I just do the equivalent of having two cards. They would be:

Q1: "Prove that condition A iff condition B [Prove forward direction]" A1: "Assume A. Then [...] implies condition B."

Q2: "Prove that condition A iff condition B [Prove backward direction]" A2: "Assume B. Then [...] implies condition A."

Just that instead of generating this manually, I have a note type that allows me to put in the question once, then add the two answers, and it generates these two cards.

In reality it's a bit more complicated, because I can have more than 2 proofs, and can give each a title. E.g. sometimes you have theorems of the form "All of the following conditions are equivalent: 1) 2) 3) 4)." And then the proofs can be something like "1 implies 2, 2 implies 1. 3,4 imply 2, 1 implies 3" or some complicated thing like that. But these are pretty rare, it's usually just at most a 2 part backwards and forwards proof.
I suspect bistros are a victim of development in transport (public and private alike).

Well for you it might be clear it is much better than Jones, but from the distance the "us vs them" narrative and the obsession with whatever is the latest "scandal" (Clinton's emails, Weinstein, Trump & Russia) makes it seem like pure tabloid.

No mention of bulb outs. New York's streets probably don't have room for bulb outs like they've tried in SF. Most SF streets with bulbs really don't have the pedestrian congestion you see on NYC corners. There, you might see a dozen people standing in the crosswalk waiting for the light change and traffic racing past them. Many pedestrians trying to jump ahead of those standing on the curb.

But at least New Yorkers use the crosswalks. Market, Van Ness, Tenderloin, SF multi-lanes jaywalkers Xanadu.
The US never abolished slavery, it just replaced it with prison labor and an endless supply of poor people that are fed into it on all sorts of minor offenses that would in most countries not result in a conviction.

I know of no other countries that lock up this large a percentage of their population and then still manages to rival major war zones in terms of gun deaths per capita. It's offensive how ridiculously ineffective and cruel the US prison system is.

Here's the fix: abandon slave labor and bring back prisons under local government control fully funded out of tax money. Then allow local politicians to decide what is reasonable to do with that funding. The whole problem is simply that people are profiting from locking people up and bankrolling the whole process.

If education was the main motivation for college rather then trying to prove to employers you are a more competitive employee then your peers, I feel the system would look a lot different and not have nearly the same balooning cost problem.
I don't think so. After they went public, they have an actual pressure to make money, and they are not in a good position for that at all. They have a handful of dangerous competitors, all of which are not reliant on the music business.
The HN reality distortion field is all kids will use their Stanford CS degree to work in tech for huge salaries. The reality is at least half of kids don't use their degree anyway. My waitress at the local restaurant isn't any better at waitressing because she has small mortgage sized student debt; in a hypothetical world where she couldn't get that education degree paid for, she'd merely be a happier less stressed waitress, which probably would result in better life for everyone.

The concept of everyone should go to college is extremely Boomer; they're dying off and their beliefs are dying off with them. Likewise just wait until "Real estate only goes up!" dies out. Or watching TV pro sports being taken seriously as a hobby. Then you factor in demographic replacement; if most young kids are not native, they will not have legacy native beliefs. It doesn't matter what white hippies held dear in 1970, if a significant fraction of the kids are not legacy demographic. Demographic elimination means cultural elimination and nothing says "white boomer" quite like "Everybody gotta go to college"
Zephyr drone breaks endurance record during maiden test flight
Moderators have too much power in the reddit model. Subreddit's become their own lil fiefdoms... literally virtual real estate that different special interests vie for influence of.

Unforuntately, minority voices are stifled in almost every single subreddit. Sure you can say people are free to make their own subreddits for those voices, but for example a community like /r/canada has a very valuable virtual real estate in its name. Most new canadian redditors will at one point check out /r/canada because it's canada's subreddit. Unfortunately moderators largely stifle conservative perspectives, forcing them out to subreddits like /r/metacanada.
> Of course they are not totally free of moderation

If there is one thing I wish I could beat into people's heads with a stick about online discourse, is that any place free of moderation is not going to be a free speech haven, but a cesspit where the people with the most free time will dominate and drive out others.

It's incredibly cheap and easy to shit up a conversation, but quite costly to have an engaging dialogue. By having no moderation, you're actively choosing to reward shitposters, and punish quality contributors.

And, no, adding an up/downvote mechanism does not solve this problem.

Not just Manhattan, everywhere in the City.

I had a car follow me laying on the horn non-stop for two straight blocks in Brooklyn, no exaggeration. I was going less than 45 miles per hour on a narrow residential street with cars parked on both sides, that was completely unacceptable. They eventually illegally passed me when it was clear I wasn't going to drive in a way to leave myself enough reaction time to be able to stop if an obstacle jutted out from between parked cars into the road.

That's just one example that sticks out in my head.
The number of pedestrian fatalities fell from 148 to 101.

https://www.wsj.com/articles/new-york-city-traffic-fatalitie...

That's a saving of roughly $500M with the ~$10M/life figure used by government agencies like the EPA and the NHTSA, which works out to ~$60 per NYC citizen. Has anyone tried to estimate the value lost to less efficient traffic flow? Median household income is $50k, so valuing the median person's time at a few times the minimum wage, say $30/hour, suggest that initiative was worth it if it cost the typical person less than 2 hours over the year.

This should of course include the bike and pedestrian traffic flow, which has plausibly gotten more efficient considering the type of changes being made.
The cost of labor and externalized costs would be the answer.

In the US, the workers demand a livable wage and healthcare from their employer. In other countries, the definition of livable wage is quite different (lots of poor/slave labor and no rules that protect employees from age restrictions, working hour restrictions, etc.). Some countries have government provided healthcare so that is not a cost that companies need to deal with.

Additionally, companies in other countries are able to externalize some of their major costs, especially in the area of pollution. In the US, you couldn't emit extreme amounts of waste and just dump it anywhere, you have to pay to "clean" it or face penalties. Other countries don't have such restrictions and are allowed to dump waste into rivers or the atmosphere without penalty.

So in the US you'd have to build a factory that is "clean" and complies with regulations. Then you'd have to hire and pay US workers a fair wage and likely subsidize at least a portion of their healthcare. You would also have to comply with worker regulations for these employees.

It's up to you to determine whether it should be ok to externalize these costs. Treating employees as effectively slave labor and the ability to destroy the environment and the habitats of living things.
As a developer and business owner, there are some interesting lessons to be gleaned from this story:

1) long time incumbent has its lunch eaten by exciting new product

2) publicizing a release date to hold the product and team to a fixed time window ( no slips.. or at least the public backlash on it would be fairly loud )

3) yet, incumbent has a passionate and die hard fan base(users) and supporters that want to see it succeed even in the face of a better(?) product. lots of good will built up here, but will it be enough to see it through this 'fix everything sprint'

interesting to see where this goes. Fortnite certainly seems to have won all the attention and glamour as the new kid on the block, and seems pretty solidly entrenched now. They might not be entirely the same game, but there's no question they're often compared and contrasted heavily. It couldn't have felt great for the PUBG team when Fortnite's battle royale mode launched and exploded. Good luck to the team on trying to retake the market!

This architecture is made to match software threads to (logical) hardware threads, then have them loop over data separated into chunks that don't depend on each other.

If a function is blocking, needs the CPU and isn't thread safe, it can be wrapped in a message passing node that will get skipped over if a thread is already running it.

Every separate chunk of data that it creates will be dealt with concurrently and the high level structure can be put together in a graph that uses openGL.

This is overly simplistic.

You should look at the trade from in value added basis and how the trade benefits different couturiers differently.

Take for example US vs China. US products exported to China have value added close to 80-90%. Chinese products exported to US have value added around 40%. If Chinese import stuff, join them together into a thing that has export value $100, only $40% of the value stays in China. When the US does the same $80-$90 of the value stays in the US.

Trade agreements are negotiated over long time to be beneficial for everyone involved and nobody can claim that US is easy negotiation partner that has been taken an advantage. US allows higher taxation from other countries in exchange of some other things (lobbied by the the financial sector inside the US).

In general the whole "imports bad, exports good" outdated folk mercantilism is just silly. It's unfortunate that the political discussion anywhere can't raise above that.
Your #3 rings so true to me. I hate seeing my problems getting the XY treatment. They should add a checkbox that says "Yes, I'm asking about a specific approach to a problem. Don't worry about the problem itself. I've already considered alternative approaches."

Also, sometimes the approach itself can be more interesting, or integral to the learning experience. Sometimes you need to implement a few shitty solutions to really grok the pitfalls you're trying to avoid. They cannot always be spelled out.
I always really, really want to do it(I'm graphic designer/illustrator and have a lot tips & trick, experience and insight I want to share) but writing things for other people to read and understand is a (tedious) work in itself.

> Telling people to google something is rarely helpful.

Though it is sometimes, particularly if what the question raiser seems to be lacking is the right terminology to search for. In that case then "Basically what you are looking for is [short description], search SO or Google for [keywords] and you should find more details." is possibly the best answer you can give.

You might rightly ask "why not just include the 'more details' or some direct links in your answer" which in some cases would be the right thing to do, but often these questions are fairly generic or otherwise lacking in detail so you could end up typing out a massive summary of a large knowledge area, little of which turns out to be directly useful.

Ask HN: which are the best data science company pages or blogs that you know of?
With all the hype and buzzwords going around, great work in data science around simple but important aspects such as data cleaning, data visualization, data engineering etc. can get lost.
Blogs and open source contributions are a time-tested way to get word out about your work. For example, companies like Airbnb and Google put out great content and open source software regularly.
What are the other ways in which smaller organizations and startups have leveraged the web to get word out about their work, specifically in the data science domain?
It could be in the form of team stories, interactive web-pages, etc.
I completely agree, but on the other hand there's another problem as a corollary here. Stack overflow's knowledge database is quite immense. And it's a fraction of the knowledge that's available on the internet. Whenever I get stuck on a technical type issue it can usually be solved in a matter of seconds of searching. And I mean that even applies to really quite esoteric things. Want to have a discussion about converting reflection calls into cached and strongly typed delegates when the types involved are only known at runtime, and how to most effectively optimize this? Yip, there's a great discussion on SO about it.

So when I run into a isolatable technical problem that I can't find a solution to, it's incredibly obscure and incredibly esoteric. So you end up with this sort of dichotomy where it becomes more and more difficult to formulate 'good' questions. It's either somebody asking something that's been asked already, or could otherwise be found in a few seconds of duck-duck-going (damn.. that really doesn't roll off the 'tongue' as well as googling, does it?) or something so incredibly obscure that you'd be better off on a specialized outlet than on a general purpose one like Stack Overflow.

Not necessarily on SO. Pretending to not understand a question has become a form of mockery on SO in many cases. You see these responses in many questions that have valid and accepted answers.

There are badly worded questions, sure. But there are also pretentiously shallow attempts to close some questions as quickly as possible.
