Courts force mediation as well.

For example, a lot of states now force mediation in family law cases.
They would (and should) force arbitration if they could.

(The vast majority of these cases are people failing to act like reasonable adults, not serious legal issues)

It depends a lot on the situation.

It seems there's a lot of evidence spaced repetition is an effective learning aid. Two things come to mind:

First, some times I see ppl calling spaced repetition a "trick" or "hack" (I read "shortcut"), but the truth is, using SRS actually entails a lot of work! [0] It seems a pretty important part of the process is to formulate your own cards, which also puts more emphasis in understanding first and memorizing later [1]. SRS is a hack to memorize as much as going to the gym is a hack to gain muscles...

Second some ppl object that "memorizing is not understanding", but I think better recall aids in faster learning, so one feeds the other. [1], again, talks about this: one should only strive to remember what one has already understood. OTOH, a lot of types of knowledge requires mostly memorization. For instance: irregular verb conjugations.

0: I tried SRS and failed to keep up a bunch of times... and I want to give it a sec^H^Hthird chance at some point!

Amazingly, the only company in the tech hubs that has given me any algorithmic questions is Amazon. But I am not deluded enough to say I am 100% doing well on the technical side.

All the other companies with some reasonable amount of public exposure, (like Zillow, Coinbase, ArenaNet, to give a few examples) interviewed me on more holistic and technical concepts, such as how would you use an API to build a website, or how would you design a database, etc.
Anki 2.1 was released 3 weeks ago, and is the current stable release. It depends on newer versions of QT. It might work better than the one from apt.

If you really want to install the one from apt, e.g. because your favourite plugins haven't been updated to work with 2.1, then perhaps this approach will be easier than re-installing the OS:

To be honest I'm a bit surprised vy the reactions here. This isn't an unusual configuration, I've worked in two other companies that had the same rules; nothing except web traffic even on the 'public' wifi. The latter permitted any device to connect but had absolutely no exceptions to the firewall rules. The corp nets did have an exception process but only for servers in the DMZ.

Almost nothing is "purely intra-state" commerce, even growing weed in your own backyard for your own personal use (see the--I think absurd--decision in Gonzalez v. Raich). I agree with you that this is unfortunate.

You're a lawyer and you know all this, but for the rest of the HN crowd: an extremely broad definition of "interstate commerce" has applied since the New Deal era when the Supreme Court folded to immense pressure from the FDR administration and stopped striking down his New Deal programs. This generally favors the left, by allowing more regulation by the federal government. But it can work the other way; like here, for example, by allowing the Federal Arbitration Act to apply very broadly.
I don't see it banning non-disparagement clauses. Only aspects pertaining to sexual harassment.
Party line votes were historically more rare (under 50%). That has changed dramatically over the last few years and is a belleweather of the deep divisions in the country.

There were always divisive issues but there are also a lot of boring and mundane work. 90% party line votes are evidence the parties feel it's not politically safe to be seen agreeing with others on any issue regardless of how mundane. That isn't something you'll fix short of changing the electorate or getting rid of elections.

But the question was if “more intelligent” gives us the authority to eat them, or make them go extinct by destroying their habitat, or abuse them for medicine trials.

And if “more intelligent” is a valid reason you are immediately entering a weird area where it is okay to eat a baby because hey, it’s less intelligent! But I doubt many people would think that’s a valid reason, so we’re back to speciesism. which is also problematic because then we appoint the human as sole judge and juror of all living things.
What do you think is "truly immersive VR"? The technical challenges for VR depend on what you think makes it "truly" work or makes you dismiss previous solutions. I think I experienced immersive VR over 20 years ago in the CAVE system, which had shutter glasses, head tracking with stereo projection on either multiple walls or a thing they called an ImmersaDesk, and a user-input device called "the wand." It used a multi-rack SGI Origin, which I am sure is outclassed by a modern gamer's PC. There were some artistic demos and many science/visualization application demos.

I saw these in multiple research labs, but I'm not sure they ever really served a real application base. They were in constant use by grad students and postdocs writing new experimental apps and demos. Unfortunately, I think real technical users often find that immersion is a gimmick rather than a real tool. You'd rather spend your money or compute resources on higher resolution and high dynamic range images than stereo rendering. And, when you have challenging visualization problems you are often struggling to sustain any interactive rendering and exploration at all, much less the high framerates needed for immersion.

You could have immersion at any time, if you are willing to adjust your problem size and expectations. Stereo rendering always means rendering twice as much as for a regular screen, so you are also going to require a larger hardware investment for any given application and quality metric. Natural, immersive navigation always means limiting your model such that the working set remains well cached and you don't have massive drops in rendering rate as the user moves. People get aggravated when ripped out of immersion by application stalls.

Also, it is hard to make an immersive display system low friction/accessible to casual use. But, if you have to design your application to easily degrade to normal screens and keyboard+mouse, then you cannot really focus on and exploit the compelling parts of immersive rendering and immersive user inputs. Can you ever find enough users to agree on this set of compromises to make a product successful?

Can someone modify the title to simply "California bans forced arbitration"? "No-disparge" is a typo, but more importantly I don't see any mention of non-disparagement clauses in the bill itself. IANAL but it appears to be 100% related to banning forced arbitration.

[Edit] Also, the news articles referenced in a comment below make no mention of non-disparagement clauses, only forced arbitration.

Well done.

I have been thinking about commenting and debate platforms lately, mainly two aspects

a) How to map comments/arguments in a way that the system by design encourages healthy debate and at the same time remain very intuitive to read (and contribute) for not so regular user
For example: I am big fan of http://en.arguman.org/ is great work in mapping argument but might not be easy regular naive internet users

b) How can platform ensure that majority which may be is in favor of certain side (of argument), it doesn't influence rational argument. I am referring to trolls.
Example: http://kialo.com/ is a good implementation but arguments can be pulled to one's side by sheer majority.

I wouldn't care much for the git features, but this is probably a bit faster than https://github.com/ofavre/vimcat
The basic process is:

1. Read an article.

2. Encounter a word or phrase you don't know.

3. Keep reading!

4. If the meaning of the word or phrase "clicks" for you, put it into Anki. If not, look it up in a dictionary. For words you have to look up, think very carefully about putting them into a dictionary. There are no hard and fast rules but err on the side of leaving them out.

Review the cards whenever you have time. If you have so many cards that "Review anki cards" is something you have to schedule time for then imo you have too many.

Let's imagine I'm learning English and I read a BBC article and I see this sentence:

> They often have to get creative when "cashing out" or laundering the money they have stolen, according to a security expert.

Hmmm. I don't know what "cashing out" or "laundering" means. Let's keep reading.

> "They can try to sell the card, which is not big money because they only get a few dollars for each one," he said.

Aha! "Cashing out" must mean getting money from what they did. Now that I've learnt "cashing out" I'll put the original sentence into Anki. The back of the card will be an explanation of "cashing out". When you start you can use a translation into your native language. Then when you get better you can use a dictionary definition in English or even write your own definition. Anything that helps you remember the phrase that you already learnt.

After I finish reading the article maybe I check "laundering" in a dictionary or maybe I just leave it. Don't worry that you'll "miss" a word. If it's common you'll see it again. If it's extremely rare then you won't see it again and won't need to know it.

Learning a language is like walking through an orchard. Pick the ripe fruit and leave the rest. If you try to grab everything you won't be able to carry them.

Ask HN: Why is SodaStream (NASDAQ: SODA) so highly valued at $3.2B?
True. There's probably a slight inverse correlation, since achievers don't usually have as much time to learn politesse or even play team sports when young. Gotta admit, that even though I've never been a Steve fan at all, reading the book reviews made me realise I've probably given him a few too many benefits of the doubt, too.

I just graduated undergrad from a state school (Rank #49 in CS) but I'm still pretty skeptical of this fact.
How many students does Harvard graduate each year? How many employees does Google have? If one year Google hired the entire math and CS graduating class of Harvard, would it still be "pretty rare" to see one of those people at Google?
To go this route you'd need to delegate substantial decision making power for technical questions. Most companies don't do that, and plan to have unicorn managers with both skill sets.

The ratio of tech to people skills depends on the difficulty of execution. In the 90s when every tech company was a "hard tech" company you needed technical representation at a high level. Bill Gates would only allow former programmers to manage his programmers for this reason.

The fact that many of them are rotations/reflections of others also makes it much harder to recognise when text is in its correct orientation. Not really a problem if you're reading a book, but for things like signage and labeling I could see it being a source of ambiguity.

Looking at the glyphs really makes me appreciate the fact that traditional, "evolved" alphabets are naturally quite redundant --- it adds an important layer of error-resistance.

I think the defining characteristic if machine learning system is that they get better as they experience more (see more examples). The question then the ask is two fold (a) do de-nosing techniques improve when they see more samples? (b) do the application of ML techniques applied in this context mathematically equivalent?
What's so fascinating to me is that his narcissism/sociopathy ending up being focused on creating ever-better products, and therefore useful; that strikes me as rare, although it may not be. Wanting to be admired for doing (pushing others to do) actual good work isn't the usual sociopath thing. Maybe the highly unusual example Wozniak showed him, of the excellence humans could achieve (beyond what cut-and-paste engineers could achieve) was the real seed of that trait. Plus enjoying scalding others.
Ask HN: What do I do to maximize the chances of getting a job at a tech giant?

On something like Skylake, your complicated instructions would execute out of MS-ROM and they would confuse the hell out of the hardware scheduler. Alternatively, you could write simple instructions which would get translated into μops and cached into μop store.

Directly? No. By definition firing people isn't in an IC job description.

Can an IC get a manager fired? Yes. Skip-level reviews and 1:1s usually paint a clear enough picture for upper management that the correct course of action is to fire the manager. The more senior the IC, the more weight their review carries.

Can a manager fire an IC? Not unilaterally. Again, skip-level reviews and 1:1s are there to help upper management evaluate how well the manager is doing their job. Feedback from other ICs is also a big part of it. Senior ICs are generally involved not just in the decision but as part of ensuring the underperforming IC is getting sufficient support so they can be fairly evaluated.

I'm sure systems like this have broken down at other companies, but it seems to work well enough where I've worked.

Unik is pretty nice, but it's basically a wrapper for other unikernels. I use it for microservice deployments every now and then. It does make packaging Java for OSv a lot simpler, however.

How do you dodge the hedonistic treadmill?
I have to highly, highly disagree given the context that in most SaaS software companies operations are going to be on-call, and horrific on-call nights can't happen if you're not on-call. Even in the best of companies (minus organizations that have the massive resources of a follow-the-sun on-call rotation) being on-call means tons of interruptions during one of the most important times you need to not be interrupted - sleeping.

What you may be observing is that the operations folks that make it to a later stage in their career that have not burned out permanently have adopted / maintained a mentality of simply not caring about work as much as possible.

No- economists are the people with compasses, when the question usually are “can you help find my keys.”

Econ models are good, but their pretty useless to normal people.

For example In this scenario the reason that economist say that immigration is a net positive, is because those immigrants also need

Food
Water
Clothes
Shelter

So the addition of those people ends up increasing total demand.

Econ is brought up to win arguments, while policy is hidden away.

The fact is that wages will go down because automation is crushing it and firms now have the ability to set prices for the market.

Immigration is a convenient concept, but ultimately useless in diagnosing or dealing with the problem.

Problem is America has a lack of good jobs, humans are hard to retrain and most of your welfare and support systems have been systematically gutted.
There's even plenty of precedent for the same word having different spellings based on region, like with color/colour. I imagine it would be similarly normal to learn that "tomahto" is the British spelling of "tomato" (or whatever it would end up being).

Is this still true? Most of the top schools today appear to have pretty generous aid compared to my undergrad, which was a state school. Only exception I can think of could be out of state public schools like Berkeley or Georgia Tech or CMU.

I went from Java to (dabbling in) Scala to TypeScript. While my heart is still with Scala, the ecosystem around Node is incredibly persuasive. The speed with which you can accomplish practical tasks, like building a desktop app with Electron, beats anything I've experienced in Javaland. (Of course that greatly depends on what kind of projects fill your time.) I think you could argue that the way Node hops domains -- web front-end, back-end, and desktop -- fulfills a broader version of Java's original vision: to be the cross-platform language.

> Maybe the noise can be removed by other methods, maybe the noise doesn’t matter, but magic doesn’t solve the noise issues.

The noise definitely matters. When you are observing with a telescope you are almost by definition working at the limit of the signal to noise ratio of the instrument, otherwise you would be asked to use a less powerful instrument (since the observing time on these larger instruments is so precious).

I worked on a project analyzing data from an X-ray telescope back in my research days. We spent 3 full years building an incredibly detailed model of the instrument noise, just so we could subtract it out and have confidence in our remaining signal. That was longer than the time we spent doing the actual science on the corrected data.
