If you are able to think through this, this fund is not for you. As mentioned in OP's comment, they are targeting folks who aren't even sure if they are building a company, just based on their 'potential'. It is a risky endeavor and from that perspective, the equity portion is justified. For someone who has access to this advice and support, it's not worth it. But for those who don't, this is Godsent.
Almost the same with me. The neurologist did a blood test which showed a huge lack of vitamin B12 and Q10. High doses of both made a huge difference -> I feel way more fit and awake. The last time I had migraine was about 2 months ago. I'd get it up to 3 times a week previously. Plus while trying to find out the cause for my migraines I encountered coffee to be a trigger. I stopped consuming caffeine in general as well.
> What could possibly be the risk of handing all your traffic to a single party

I mean, the alternative is your ISP, which is usually a single party. Yes, some people do believe VPN providers are less shitty actors than ISPs. There are some terrible ISPs.
I ended up taking this training at my first summer internship at a private contractor for the Navy a couple years back. Interesting seeing it here on HN, but I never really thought the training was really that standout to begin with.

Definitely felt way more like a way to train non-technical employees to not get phished and to keep security principles in mind in the workplace. The game-ification aspect actually seems beneficial compared to other similar training I've done in the past though!

Hang on, just to check, which of the specific things called out as "bad ideas" do you take issue with?
Yes, white LEDs are based on blue LEDs with phosphors. But I don't think they convert all the blue light, so they're still heavy on the blue output. I'd need to see a reference to believe they have less peakiness in the spectrum than fluorescent lights.

CRI may not be the best rating for spectrum smoothness, but it's the only one we have for now. It's still hard to find bulbs that even bother to rate themselves.

So all I need to do to get Amsterdam police to care about bicycle theft is to install some sort of ribbon that'll get torn off if the lock gets broken, which'll be indistinguishable from the frame getting broken in half ("an accident"). Hook that all up to a GSM modem and a call center and suddenly my local cops will care about crime.

Agreed. I much prefer the style that Anders H. went with in C# of unchecked exceptions and the recommendation to have a single “catcher” at the top of a main event handler/loop spot in the code.

Rather than catch littered everywhere, there is just a top level thing to do something like log a “well it died, cuz <<reason>>, thought you should know (moving on to the next thing)”.

The first thing to realize about any scientific paper is that it's wrong. To a very good approximation all scientific papers are wrong, until the results are replicated a couple of dozen times and failed to be replicated a few times this could well be an artifact of the methods they used.

I don't know why he didn't talk to the police and tell them what he suspects and see if they would set up an ambush for the car thieves that night. Put the car back in place and wait for them to show up
Aren't you ignoring low crime countries with brutal criminal justice systems such as Thailand? It is far more likely the culture of a country that predisposes it to higher or lower crime rates (and the types of crimes). For example, the deeper the black community becomes entrenched in the hip hop culture, the more crime they commit. You see a black person from any financial class adopt white culture, you will find that they succeed. The more they adopt hip hop culture, the more they are failures, criminals ETC.
Yeah, this is something many people are excited about. We are doing a public security offering along those lines at NEX.

Is the typical engineer conducting an interview good at contextual inquiry? At holding space for people to think out loud? Lets not kid ourselves here. The only people we’re harming are each other.

Why should the police be sent to a smashed window? Not much they can do at that point unless you caught somebody red-handed. "Yup, that window is totally smashed. OK, just file a claim with your insurance company."
Taxing externalities is a better approach than subsidising what we think might be the best path going forward.
Does that really matter?
Most software people I know aren't particularly persuasive. One trait noticeably missing among them is the ability to simplify a complex topic without losing too much relevant information.

But even if some are, ways exist to undermine an expert's credibility about a complex topic.

For example, when Robert Oppenheimer began warning people about the dangers of nuclear war, the attacks came. Once the government felt comfortable enough with Edward Teller, it could proceed with revoking Oppenheimer's security clearance.

That said, not sure a paper receipt actually helps because it's certainly possible for a voting machine to spit out a receipt, then change whatever data the receipt was supposed to capture. And unless the change was drastic and massive (e.g. Trump wins California) then it will probably go undetected.

Sure, I can, and I did, although I didn't come up with the super-hindsight-obvious solution I'm sure I learned three times over in college.

I totally agree. A drug development timeline of 6-7 years from start to regulatory approval is a pretty dramatic shift from previous eras and can better target your specific problem.

On the other hand, however, you then run into rapidly increasing costs for medication, which isn't going to be sustainable in the long run. Maybe the economies of scale will bring that cost down, but I'm no expert on that.
The cynic in me says this is an attempt to weaken NASA, which has been increasingly under fire from conservatives for its engagement in projects not associated with space exploration. Say you can separate out that aspect into the military. Then there's no need for NASA at all.
Log-lost diary of German officer Alfred Rosenberg vindicates his testimony at Nuremburg.

https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/long-lost-diary-of-nazi...

> Scholars had been eager to see what this longtime Nazi from Hitler’s inner circle had to say in the missing journal. But details of the Nazis’ grand plans for genocide and brutal domination are absent from the pages.

Rosenberg testified in Nuremberg that there was no such plan for the wholesale murder and eradication of the Jewish race, and that the idea had never even crossed his mind. In other words, the only plans the Germans had was to expel the Jews from their territory. Nonetheless, he was not believed and sentenced to execution by the court.
This may have some use, but the use of "Lost Einsteins" is so strange to me. I went to read the article thinking they will help educate unprivileged population, improve accessibility of knowledge, etc. But this is just another variation of a startup accelerator.

Can even real Einstein find this useful? How long can they support him while he works on his theories with no company/product to show? Do they have a system to find and support a Ramanujan? How many people will vote for his "projects"?

I really don't mean to discourage the founders. They got NYT to write about their them. Maybe it's NYT's fault. But using Einstein and such to market their company/fund is too over the top and only comes out as click-baity.
They exist actually. For example, when California wind drives prices down to <0, it gets given away to nearby states (I think mostly Nevada)

Note that most of these existed well before the internet and were just as widespread. Generally the people who post this stuff are the people already preconditioned to believe it. These people also have their views emboldened when they see it is banned...they view it as some conspiracy to hide the "truth." IMO, these bans against Alex Jones aren't going to have the good intended result they were meant to. If anything, this could drive more direct ad dollars to him and allow him to expand into another vertical that may attract and empower even more like him.

But I'm biased, I am generally against any form of censorship unless it is exploiting someone against their will (see snuff films, pedophilia, etc.) Slightly unrelated, but I fear that the Russian boogeymen is going to creep its way into outright censorship in the West via corporate America...which ironically is an outcome Putin and other Western adversaries desire.

Hah! I love the AXBY code-entering minigame :P This is pretty neat so far.

I, too, have a side project I'd love to quit my job to work on, but I think it's less monetizable than an actual game.
Since the Navy already has way more aircraft than the air Force, I don't get it either. I assume it's just a way to increase the military industrial complex more to justify the larger spend.

Funny part is, we should probably be investing in cybersecurity instead, else we'll probably make a huge target for someone else to just take over.
Not sure if you're talking about the Chemical Engineer part, but I've met a lot of people trained as ChemE's that have nothing to do with that profession. But maybe that's true of a lot of professions and I'm just biased!
That doesn’t make sense. If you start with the premise that you are going to make said investment, and want to determine where, a retirement account can make a lot more sense given that the tax deferred status can eliminate problems with short term capital gains, buying and selling in the account, and so on.

This is an interesting question because there are significantly different national attitudes towards spending on food, I see it every day.

For example, https://www.vox.com/2014/7/6/5874499/map-heres-how-much-ever...

Attention, such statistics don't answer all the questions though. Does the average person in country X spend more than in country Y because he wants to spend more, or because food is simply more expensive? That and many other questions. But I take it as a pretty clear sign that there are simply different cultural attitudes towards this spending when I compare the average supermarket in three neighbouring countries like France, Germany, and Switzerland.
Or getting it to Mexico, I suppose.
Sort of, if you want to send power north then sending power north east takes less extra lines then sending power east then nort.

So, generall sending power 1,000 miles west requires up to but not nessisarily 1,000 miles of power lines.
So what is happening when you stand up quickly and your vision goes slightly black when you haven't eaten for a while?
And back when the S2000 was new, people were stealing them for the seats, and so on. But overall it seems like auto thefts have dropped precipitously since the 90s. Likely a combination of coordinated efforts and computerized DBs across states, cars getting harder to steal, etc, making it less worthwhile. Whereas, if parent is correct and it's easier to "get away with" in Europe, the remaining hurdle is technical, and quite an interesting problem to work around, even to this non-thief :)
Ask HN: Custom design and web hosting and CMS in 2018
I am working with a client who hired a designer to custom design a landing page. I suggested starting with a template and then replacing individual sections piece by piece.

Then I started thinking maybe something like Webflow is actually best but I'm more focused on the backend so I'm not sure what's best in 2018.

Webflow? Wordpress? Squarespace? It's basically a landing page that should eventually be hooked up to a CMS system and get a custom design.
US has 700,000 miles of power lines, a few HVDC can send a lot of power east/west while being a rounding error.
Wait what? Are you claiming that corporations deign for some countries to become dumping grounds? I'm not sure what you mean here. The article hints at the fact that while standards of living increase for some, they decrease for others... Which is essentially the complaint that anti-globalization activists have. It's not a rising tide but a race to the bottom.

Most corporations (I can't think of any counter examples, but maybe someone here will find one) are all on board with abolishing borders. It makes the most sense from the POV of a capitalistic institution since it drives down wages and increases efficiency much more than strong national borders and "nationalism" would. (Wouldn't your local tech giant like an unlimited supply of work visas to pass out like candy?)

It seems to me that open borders and pro-globalization activists are mostly playing right into the wildest dreams of corporate robber barons. Who prefer the "race to the bottom" WRT labor costs that is "globalism."
Not sure why you’ve been downvoted. History from the 1990s onwards seemed to demonstrate that past a certain point, democracy becomes an obstacle which Capitalism has to overcome or devolve into crisis. If anything, the US is hemming more towards the authoritarian technocracy of China than away from it.
Although I'm pro-euthanasia in a medical sense, I don't think it's fair to dismiss GP's comment like that. There was definitely substance to it, and that substance is worth thinking about, even if you sit on the other side of the fence.

If you disagree, say why you disagree. Don't just say "your viewpoint has no substance".
Nay.

We have a round of interviews and then send the candidate home with a choice of 5 coding tasks. Intention is to spend no more than 2 hours. Then they return and hold a code review in front of the team and explain what they've written. That way, they code at their own pace and in a comfortable space where they can focus, much like the way they would actually work. Then they've got it all right in front of them for discussion.

The review then weeds out people who don't really understand what they've written, possibly because they borrowed it from somewhere or asked a shill to write it for them.

We've had a range of submissions, from the casual-careless-broken code to extremely complete to elegance like we've never seen before. It works well.
I find it far fetched that all of this is down to a massive conspiracy. Certainly there are actors that do this but they seem to just be amplifying by some small amount preexisting trends.
The commit in question, made on 16th July, uses the term "OfficeISS". I can find no mention of this online. Is this a straightforward code-name for their project to re-write their major apps in React, mentioned in the following tweet? https://twitter.com/TheLarkInn/status/1006746626617008128

I asked for clarification on how they were approaching macOS support in React Native, both:

1) in that Twitter thread (to no answer): https://twitter.com/LinguaBrowse/status/1006834843416657920

2) and in the subsequent Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/8qqhlz/office_... (to an answer ignoring the macOS part of my question).

Microsoft are clearly going all-in on React Native:

1) TypeScript 3 has plenty of oddly React-specific features (e.g. defaultProps and PropTypes support): https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/typescript/2018/07/30/annou...

2) react-native-windows is thriving: https://github.com/Microsoft/react-native-windows

3) WinObjC is looking formidable: https://github.com/Microsoft/WinObjC

I think the future is bright for Microsoft, cross-platform development, and the React universe..!
>> every reasoning derivable from notions could be derived from these notions' characters by a way of reckoning, which would be one of the more important means of assisting the human mind.

I guess he's saying that symbolic reasoning can be performed automatically ("by a way of reckoning", in the sense of computation). He's advocating for the use of automatic symbolic manipulation as a way to enhance the capabilities of the human mind. That's, like, the soul of logic-based, symbolicist AI. You know - "GOFAI".

Yeah, that’s what a JIT does. Unfortunately that’s not something that Apple really wants to open the door to on their platforms, especially for native code.
Rules are defined by industry. Applied ethics, or commonly used in the adjective form ethical, applies to the directness of a decision point to the governing rule and perceptions or right/wrong. Ethics are evaluated the same even when the rules change. Likewise ethics are violated for similar reasons regardless of industry.

This is very simple for most professions that are defined by licensing or certifications which require conformance to a code of ethics. Ethics in law are not dissimilar from ethics in medicine. In software there is no commonly accepted code of ethics. Instead there are "terms and conditions" and "employment agreements", which typically do not isolate ethical standards to the software profession.
Not persuaded that the author's advice to rationalize the faults of your ex is sufficient or necessary for "recovery."

I would propose generally that the suffering of any breakup (or loss) is proportional to how much you depended on the other persons reflected view of you for your own idea of self. Getting past it is more of an exercise in self-acceptance, self-forgiveness, and self-improvement than simply knocking down the other to boost yourself up.

If you identified as a partner, husband, father, boyfriend, etc. then the loss of that feels like a loss of self. But if the person in your life was just that: another person, in your life, then you can still miss them, but nothing intrinsic to who you are was lost. You are not broken, shattered, or harmed. In this context, suffering is the effect of a residual belief about the completeness of yourself, and has diminishingly little to do with the other person at all.

Recovery is not "healing," from a "wound," rather, it is resetting your perspective and accepting who you are as self-originating - and not as reflected by another.

Too often, Pascal's maxim "to understand all is to forgive all," is advice given without the necessary condition that you must apply it to yourself first - otherwise it's just a recipe for obsessive thoughts. I would say to someone suffering from a broken heart, whatever it might entail, start with the desire to forgive yourself and whatever happens next, the journey alone is probably going to be worth it.
> How is prowess in a game of "gotcha" an important indicator of engineering skill?

It's not; I couldn't agree more.

In real life when using engineering "skill", not only am I not anxious/stressed by trying to write on a whiteboard, but I'm using my laptop, with my editor, as well as access to man pages, docs, and google to look things up.

In addition to the overemphasis of performance responses, I think "how much do you know from memory with 10 seconds of thinking" vs "how much do you know with 10 seconds of google" is useless. The only fairly complex datastructures I can perfectly describe from memory are the ones which I used most recently...

I think compute power is what matters, not amount of simulations. Compute power available in simulated realities vs base reality will always be significantly in favor or root reality.
