Actually at this time, when Haussmann started its transformation of Paris, people though that the circulation of air was very important for health, and that was one of the reasons of widening the streets and limiting the height of buildings, but the main reason was for allowing traffic of goods and people, and to improve security and control of the population (revolts in Paris had made 3 different political regimes collapse in less than 70 years before that).

Today people still value seeing the sky and freedom of movement. I have not been everywhere in North America but usually I saw that big buildings mean wide streets around them.
That's a different point, one I made on an earlier article here, that generic names like "location services" doesn't mean much to Jo user.

Solution, make "location history" mean location history. My mum knows that switching "Location" off on her phone turns of any tracking, she doesn't want that, she likes being able to check in on Facebook etc. When she started finding Google Maps creepy, and went looking to stop Google storing her location, but still be able to use Google Maps, she didn't know that turning off "Location History" doesn't exactly do what it says on the tin. Jo user isn't necessarily an idiot, but they don't know the ins and outs of Google tracking either.
Quite so. It was the "free market" that gave out those loans, it was the "free market" that repackaged the CDOs knowing full well the repercussions in case of defaults, it was the "free market" that stacked rating agencies, regulators, courts, even academia, to prevent their cash cow from going away, or from suffering any kind of personal responsibility for their crimes.
I don't get it? Just because you own a firearm or have one on your person does not mean you must use it. Also, just because you do not feel comfortable deciding when it's appropriate to use a firearm does not mean other people feel the same way.
Good question, I can't find any information about that. I just saw the special lane with my own eyes.
Deleting facebook is like saying bye to older contact or classmates. Most will not make it through the refriend on new social media platform stage. It is likely this will be the last time you ever have a chance to connect with this person.
I wonder how deleting Facebook works with regards to shadow accounts - do they still store you in some DB as a shadow person just by being associated with somebody still using FB?
Also mutt, with "All mail clients suck. This one just sucks less."
It’s a book, not an article, which is why you’re having trouble finding it. Niche and long out of print it seems. But I haven’t read it yet either so I cannot comment on its arguments.
Until the next things pops up. I remember people saying the same about Myspace and Hyves (the very definition of social media in the Netherlands a decade ago) and even MSN before that.

6.5x is big but not that crazy when you consider they are growing at %40+ YOY (even more in the past).

How long that continues is anyone's guess but I can see them gaining just as much if we don't have a recession between then.
I took a quick skim of the "farmers guide" https://web.archive.org/web/20170217143321/https://www.ams.u...

and couldn't find anything saying you can't "spray as much pesticides you want", only that you can only spray certain pesticides. can you provide a link to the regulation preventing unlimited usage of allowed organic pesticides?

Jails: Confining the omnipotent root.[pdf]
Went to CC in California. Paid ridiculously little. All classes transferred, started with killer foundations at a fraction of the cost. Transferred to UC. Been employed 8 years. Nobody's ever asked where the first 2 years of college were from. Not even for my first job.

I don't know why more people don't go that route. It's like $26 dollars a unit, the books cost more than the classes do. The professors were dope as hell - especially in the hard sciences. Plus you didn't have a lecture hall with 150, 200 kids in it - you had 30, 50 for a "big" class. The instructors always showed up to office hours, they all spoke great English, and actually cared if you understood the material - they weren't ditching class to prepare for a conference, or having a TA do the actual teaching. They genuinely liked their subjects.

Going to CC is practically a secret weapon. I'd hire a CC graduate over a "bootcamp" graduate any day of the week.
Network-Based Businesses Will Disrupt All Sectors of the Economy
This! As the introduction doc coyly says,

> so as a user we usually just concern ourselves with editing the values and a friendly developer takes care of specifying the names for us. :)

The friendly developer gets the job of conveying -- somehow -- that values for landline: and mobile: have to be valid tel#s (but must they have the country prefix?) while "hire date:" must be in the form yyyy mm dd only... and also gets the friendly job of writing one-off, locally unique validation code for these fields and hacking them into the parser.
Iranian nationals are currently barred from travelling to the US, so I imagine a criminal record is not even necessary to get the visa denied.
With each reincarnation you always lose a few. Well I have. There's always some fragmentation of which network people end up on next or some stick with the old one far longer than most.
I thought my argument was nuanced and progressive by supporting people regardless of their genders/sexual orientation/religious group.

I don't like much to divide people across arbitrary lines which are often artificial, especially in the modern day where we have so much sub-culture that it's difficult to find anything in common in people supposedly from the same "group".

I'm the founder of a company called Harvest Profit. We build a suite of profitability and risk management tools, trying to help farmers better manage their operations.

Farming is a unique business where the average farm generates $1+ million of revenue and is self-managed.

I agree with this article. More farmers are taking on the duties of merchandising their commodities and we help them with that. It's a fun challenge.

As an aside, selling intangible goods like software to farmers (who love equipment) is not for the faint of heart!
That's ridiculous. In my country, it is the law that prescriptions are named by substance/generic name rather than a commercial name, and come with a text saying "You will spend no more than X if you buy a generic.". The pharmacist also must give you the cheapest generic unless you specifically request another.
There are other contexts for this than being in government custody.
Or google them or connect on linked in or send them an email.

Wait, you don't have their email? You've not sent them an email in 1/5/10 years? Why would you need to connect in the next 1/5/10 years?

Seriously though, if you really need to connect with someone and they are on the internet, google can help you find them.

You will miss out on serendipitous interaction with loose connections, and that is a real concern. However, the signal to noise ratio of my feeds was so low that such interaction rarely happened anyway.
Summary: Guy that didn't use Facebook much deleted his Facebook account.
As an engineer who writes automation code for machines that must perform in a known and specified manner I use state machines almost exclusively.
Anyone who wants known behaviours from software and doesn't use state machines is basically throwing spaghetti at the wall and hoping it sticks.
I am amazed at how little this methodology is used by people who write software and call themselves "engineers" and consider this is one of the fundamental reasons software of poor robustness is common.
Definitely daily sex. Sounds a very reasonable price.
Maybe swap from Chrome to Firefox?

If nothing else, Firefox isn’t built by a literal advertising company.
I would read that as the "red book in algorithms" this is probably because of the famous OpenGL red book, so now we refer to the "fundamental" book in an area as the red book.

In a sense yes its "wrapped up in a particular culture" I guess the culture that exposed me to this "red book" was a CS bachelors that included graphical programming as a course.

Edit: If someone from google said to read the red book as a helper for interviewing I would probably return with "wait you mean the OpenGL book?"
Thanks for the extra insight! It's not an academic question for me (I'll need to start building a team soon) and it sounds like you've made it a healthier environment for all of your staff. Good job!

> Microsoft’s decision to shift Surface Hub manufacturing to China highlights the difficulty in bringing manufacturing jobs back to the United States. It’s not just a question of opening a factory and hiring employees. There are supply line considerations, source costs, and the simple fact that American companies now produce many more products with far fewer employees than they used to require in the 1970s, thanks to automation and improved productivity.

Like with climate change, it's already too late.
Oops. I posted about the same scheme before reading yours. Sorry.

One nice property of the Git-like Merkel-Tree half of the blockchain I do understand is that it's stupid easy to say: at this time, this was the state of the world and nothing in the past changed. (Just like git-commits though more robust than sha1s). It's harder to mess with than a giant DHT.

As for all the other bits of blockchain, I'm out of my depth.

They have a 1x liquidation preference from what I was told when I was given an offer somewhat recently.

So 1x is standard, and nothing crazy like what you're implying.
That would presuppose that admission at schools like Stanford is more skewed towards wealthy students than the "lesser" schools. Which I doubt. But even if, then that would be the problem to address, rather than cutting the assistance programs.
Also, "troglodyte" and "troll" are completely unrelated words...
Well, it's not exactly a plot hole as it was kinda Roddenberry's vision to show what a positive future for humans would look like. All the while exploring aspects of humanity through interactions with "alien races".

I think it's great to have future utopian stories to tell ourselves.

It's likely we'll end up somewhere in the middle but if we only listen to the bad stuff then that is all we can hope for because we can't imagaine any other state :)

Microsoft actually commissioned a bunch of authors to write some positive short stories about the future in hopes of getting people in a more positive mindset.

It's called Future Visions and you can grab it for free here:

I suppose that's a risk one takes when using that word in modern conversation, but I literally mean it in the dictionary-definition sense (i.e. "of or characteristic of the middle class, typically with reference to its perceived materialistic values or conventional attitudes").

Feel free to substitute "middle-class" for "bourgeois" if it sounds less political or inflammatory to your ears.

When I was in Cambodia/Laos/Thailand I often stood in line at the border with people from Poland, France and other countries. Me and the French were checked less and got in with less questions than the Polish people. I can imagine they get treated better than dark skinned people but even within white people there is a difference.
This could be a bug that you encountered. I've ordered tens of thousands dollar worth of food through their app or website in the last 3 years, often each order is $50-$200 (everyday lunch for our startup). Although, now I only use the 'group order' feature ever since they introduced it, before that it was more like 'passing the phone around' as you mentioned.
Of course China want Google and Facebook, but only the "obedient and compliant" Google and Facebook.

Life is not magically sperate from work. I find that people who do not care about diversity at work, do not care about it in the rest of their life.

Lack of diversity is another way of describing a history of denied opportunities due to the idea that because someone is different from you, they are somehow lesser. Increasing diversity in the workplace just means increasing the potential pool of talented people to work with. If you reflexively don't like this idea, it is probably because somewhere deep down you realise you are going to come up short.
I have too many customer relationships on Facebook. It's my own fault for creating a Users Group for our software on Facebook.

If it wasn't for that, I would delete my account.
Doesn't FB have shadow accounts/profiles even of people not on FB? I seem to remember when I created my account it already suggested all sorts of people for me to connect with.

In which case...what is deletion?

I was an early adopter of Dropbox. However, I found that Dropbox's high usage of bandwidth precluded its use when I spent several months of 2011 in Europe with only a sparse 2 gig PER MONTH internet allowance.

I ended up by installing my own internet-accessible file-server. This also had the advantage that my data wasn't being controlled by an external entity with dubious privacy concerns.
High school student hacks into Apple servers and downloads 90GB of secure files
If you reduce your argument to the merits of each unique individual hire, then you're going to miss what is a very big and complex system.

If your argument is that all 15 of these employees gained employment on their attributes completely independent of gender -- and that gender plays no part -- then it should strike you as statistically improbable that all 15 would be men.

To me that seems outlandish to ignore. Clearly there must be some biases that lead to such a bifurcated outcome.

OR your argument is that men and women are different for some reason, which led to this situation. If that's your argument then you should make that argument.

Just to give some perspective, not all your visa problems are because you have a weak passport:

As a European, that happened to me when I needed a work visa for the US (for 2 month unpaid internship, J-1 visa). Only had to wait 20 min though because I had to book an appointment via credit card for $10. And I would not say that the guys there were nice in anyways. (Whole thing cost me $500, one day of travelling and 2 month preparing the whole thing in total.)
Yeah because it could not be due to this.

Don’t pretend someone can’t create something better than what exists, just because you need to feel better about stopping yourself.
I did order before. I thought it may have been some kind of fraud detection but I’d ordered from them multiple times to the same address. In fact, one of the first times I ordered they double billed me. Took a week or so to straighten that out with support. But even if it was some kind of fraud prevention flag it would have been nice to get stopped at that amount while ordering.
Don’t assume someone is selling / sexually accessible to you, just because they’re enjoying their appearance / wearing revealing clothing.
It's completely arbitrary.

(Generalization of the vocal people in this area.) Their line of thinking is: "only people from those specific backgrounds can cater for their own groups tastes". And there's evidence for this, you have these people getting mad that an actor playing a gay person isn't gay and a trans person not trans.

It's almost as if the narrative is that empathy is dead, no person could possibly ever think about anything other than themselves. Somebody who thinks this would appear to lack personal experience of empathy, draw your own conclusions.
> Most of the companies YC funds (250+ / year)

That's the numerator, but what's the denominator? I couldn't find any official numbers from YC but some Quora "answers" https://www.quora.com/How-many-people-apply-to-Y-Combinator-...

If the 8-9k per batch is to be believed, that could be under a 1% chance for success of a "cold" application and still fall under "most" of the accepted ones. It's also unclear how repeat applications affect the likelihood.

That certainly counts as "ever", per the OP's question, but it puts the rarity into perspective.
This sort of racism is not acceptable.

One of my startups, at one point had eight employees, all but me female. The company also had seven employees with PhDs. I don't have one.

It's the same way you can't delete your World of Warcraft account, only 'de-activate' it. They know you'll be back.

Program Your Own Games Bundle
I adapted 12-bit ADC and DAC to a PC parallel port of an 8088 PC running MS-DOS for my thesis project, and programmed it in Turbo Pascal. Already by that point MS-DOS was obsolete, but I decided that finishing grad school (in 1993) was more important than learning a new platform. Lack of the ability to run multiple processes in parallel was solved by running multiple PC's.
Facebook sees this as a cost center and will therefore do the minimum it can get away with to address this.

They have shown no real concern for the negative effects they have on communities and society.

Their leadership has displayed a lust for power that would make most politicians blush, IMO.

You are more likely to learn more, more relevant skills and more quickly on the job.

The engineering bachelors degree is basically an elaborate hazing ritual to teach you a few basics and allow you to demonstrate you can learn anything you need to.

Most graduate engineers are useless until they have worked in industry for some time and adsorbed the general way things are done in the real world.
Should move that group to something off-network sooner rather than later. Otherwise, you never know when the rug gets pulled out by Facebook.
I want to hear the story of why all the sciences have been dominated by men consistently. I want to know why all cultures have anthropologically been dominated by men.

What we see today in modern society is more of a phenomenon then a norm from an anthropological and historical standpoint. I want to know why.

It seems however that the default explanation is that men have always oppressed women.

I believe that political correctness has colored the true reason that is more complex, nuanced and not as one sided.

As per HN guidelines : "Please don't post shallow dismissals, especially of other people's work. A good critical comment teaches us something."

This subject appears dear to you, so perhaps you want to try again?

"Either you hire people regardless of their genders/religious group/sexual orientation or you make a conscious choice to reject candidates which are not in your approved list of "diversity" (whatever that means)."
>There's likely diversity of thought between them, but that's not what anybody cares about today.

I agree. In fact, Apple's former VP of diversity (or whatever they called it), a black woman, was probably forced to resign because she stated a room full of blond white men could be diverse. It's practically a cult at this point.

Why don't you think that?
I’m not sure it matters too much. A user can only have an absolute maximum of 5000 friends and most people don’t ever reach that, including famous people. Networks like Twitter and Instagram which are focused on asymmetric “following” rather than friending have a lot more to lose when a “hub” leaves.
Honestly, I don't really understand why we are getting posts like this one. People don't post 'How I deleted my Github account', right?

So what's the big deal? Is it some kind of accomplishment and people expect praise?

UPD: I mean, if you are not using FB anymore (like me), then does it really matter if you delete it or not? If you actually do use it, then why delete it?
