I'm not sure what facebook availability means - the term I searched for says "available" but the account name is taken. Does it mean something else (page name? I'm not very familiar with facebook..)
I think a lot of that depends on whether you have kids. If you're single, or even married, moving is a hassle, but so are yard work and maintenance. But after you have kids, yard work and maintenance don't actually get any harder. Moving does.

Yard work and maintenance can also be fulfilling, either in the sense of "this is my home and I'm putting work into it to benefit my family", or in the sense of, "riding lawnmowers around is a decently fun way to spend a couple hours outdoors". Hell, I volunteered for that chore when I was a kid (and was old enough to safely operate the lawnmower).

I kind of miss yard work now. At least some parts of it. Chainsaws are fun.

> The conclusion you’ve made in this and previous comments is about abilities.

This is the conclusion the author of the memo reaches as well. His suggestions are not to fix the culture surrounding these preferences, but instead to simply "give women what they prefer", which inherently limits their experience and makes an implicit claim on their ability without that compensation.
I certainly hope not. I'm not going to argue that this was anything but a disappointment to our customers - and one that we're eager to prevent from happening again.

But we have never said that this was Azure's fault. It wasn't. We've put the blame where it belongs: on us. We're nearly done writing up the root cause analysis and an analysis of our next steps to prevent this from happening in the future.

If by 'value' you mean 'monetary value' you may be right. Otherwise, not.
Reading through the actual Common Core standard was what convinced me that it was a step in the right direction. It's clear that a lot of careful thought went into the Common Core math standards.

If you've got a child, I'd highly recommend reading through the standards in both math and ELA. They're well done, particularly the math.
I don't. Who says they want to program? If they express such interest then sure, but until then, expose them to as many experiences as possible. There's more to life than programming, just because I enjoy it doesn't mean that other's do or need to.
I like the light-hearted direction taken to explain HTTPS, but I personally find the narrative difficult to read and follow.

It might be unfair for me to compare the two, but I do like Randall's approach to explaining Heartbleed https://xkcd.com/1354/ because it feels like it has a better flow.

I'd definitely like to see this idea get expanded upon and improved, so I can feel confident about forwarding this link to non-technical users who are interested in learning how the Internet works. I also agree with doing one of these on phishing.
If random Twitter users send @mentions to "@mywebrtclobby" then no other users will likely see these tweets unless they already follow each of the various Twitter users sending the @mentions.

However if you connected @mywebRTClobby with https://GroupTweet.com you could configure things so that any @mentions (from authorized users or anyone) would be converted into actual tweets from the @mywebRTClobby account so that all followers would actually see those tweets/contact details.

I don't think the industry is getting dumber.

I remember learning a lot from 1980s computer books with jokes and cartoons when I was older than 10, for example http://wiki.c2.com/?ThinkingForth , or the Fortran colouring book.

I'm not sure I'd've got on with ones where all the text is in cartoons, though. Too hard to scan, perhaps.

It was best when the cartoons were doing double service as diagrams showing what was going on inside the computer.

I've hardly blogged in the last several years, but I've tried out half a dozen static site generators (SSGs). I think it could be a nice way to introduce/familiarize yourself with a programming language, beyond just the toy exercises. Once you understand one SSG, they're all very similar in essence, so it becomes a good way of getting up to speed with language features and idioms -- at least in theory.

I'm currently playing around with Frog (Racket based SSG).
I was at a talk by Emily Chang about her new book Brotopia, and she raised a really good question: why frame it in terms of culture fit, as if culture is something pristine to be preserved? Why not think of it as culture addition, that is, in terms of trying to assess how much one can bring to the table?

I second this explanation. Additionally, from a UX perspective, if a user wanted to join your server you had to give them IP/port/pw and they'd type it in manually. So even the users were accustomed to addressing servers. "Server" entered the community lexicon as "the place we chat".
Pelican can certainly do that -- just pick a template that doesn't have JS, of which there are many.
Incumbents usually prefer harsh regulations to lax regulations because only the incumbents have the resources to comply with them. This is doubly so if you need to hire the author of the regulator to make sense out of the regulations.

Business is a parimutuel system: something that harms your company can actually be beneficial if it utterly demolishes your competitors. Many regulations are of this form. They are expensive and difficult to comply with for big companies, but they are impossible to comply with for small companies, and thus keep competing startups out of the market entirely.
Fear is everywhere nowadays, it seems to power capitalism or at least is encouraged by it. I suspect the reason is that actual capitalism (as opposed to the ideal construct) is more based on Social Darwinism and capital accumulation than on trading for the mutual benefit of all market participants.
The brick/suitcase example doesn’t make any sense without attachment, so I read it into the hypo. But any physical contact inconsistent with ownership can be a trespass. You can’t go around putting bricks into peoples’ trucks either!

Trespass isn’t expressly mentioned in the constitution, but it is one that is at least consistent with the text. The 4A lists several kinds of private property, and prohibits unreasonable “search” or “seizure” of that property. What is an “search” or “seizure” of private property? The structure of the text makes clear that it is a wrongful intrusion by a government agent onto property. What do we call wrongful intrusions onto private property? Generally, it’s trespass.

“Privacy,” on the other hand, doesn’t fit the textual formula at all. The text says nothing about “privacy.” The contemporaneous debate said nothing about privacy. Saying that the fourth amendment is about “protecting privacy” totally abandons the textual nexus between a “search” and some private property. It is in fact an example of fallacious reasoning. It is the conclusion that because a “search” is one way to invade someone’s privacy, that anything that invades someone’s privacy is a “search.”
Air travel is a bad analogy, unless you only think of ATC activity near the runways.

Unlike airspace, things put in orbit are permanent on the operational timescales. They also have limited, if any, capability to dodge other objects. It's more like development of a zoned piece of land, except if you build too close to another structure, both buildings explode.
That definitely takes away some of the 'stunning-ness' of their actions... As the comment you linked points out, I wonder why companies are even allowed to launch in the first place if they have no approval (regardless of whether there was an initial rejection or not)..
Interesting topic, but...

"Among the 300 companies I spoke to, only 20% told me they engaged in screening for specific traits beyond soft skills."

Not convinced self disclosure is the best way to determine what they actually screen for.
I have a raspberry pi in my home network with an SSH server. I then just use Putty or Git Bash and ssh into the pi to do my Linux related work from Windows. I need to work a little more with systemd and block devices, so I didn't think WSL would cut it for me.

> What I think will be a very interesting development is when we scale a DaVinci Surgical robot from Intuitive to be remote-hands in the assembly of space things.

Most of that kind of surgery is done in the same room, so dealing with latency will be a major issue. (I know there have been some experiments in long-distance tele-surgery, but it's hardly routine.)

A low-earth-orbit installation (like the ISS) has a variable latency depending on where it happens to be and what chain of relays and other systems are being used. A geosynchronous satellite would have predictable latency (~250ms round-trip) but it'd be more expensive to launch and service at that distance.

Anywho, I think "remote satellite work" will involve heavy reliance on pre-programmed sequences, "simulate locally, then send for execution remotely" tactics, and just generally structuring the manufacturing process to minimize any steps that can't be done atomically with pausing-points in-between.
Yeah, I skipped over a lot of the details, but you would need someone to choose to be a "host" (at least in terms of a "host" for the connection signaling stuff), but you can also implicitly make it the person who created the link safely.
Essay is still exceedingly relevant, but the "completely alien" part is probably that the men doing the bleeding and dying were from the wealthiest societies on the planet. During WW1 and WW2 there was actually more violent death among the wealthy societies than among the poorest. That is extraordinarily different.
Show HN: Estimate the money you will make thanks to compound interests
Pretty cool. I especially like the comparison feature which would help a lot when in a store trying to decide between two products. MyFitnessPal doesn't offer that. I think adding generic produce and fruits to the database should be a priority since people who are watching what they eat are often trying to avoid processed food. For example, my last diet was "don't eat anything with a barcode on it"! I also think you should consider very basic grades like "Medium" or "High" rather than "very calorific" which is difficult for me to parse.
On HN it doesn't count as a dupe if the story hasn't had significant attention yet. This is in the FAQ (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html). More explanation at https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16403654 and https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=16344002.
Very neat indeed! Similar tools have done a lot to make TeX more accessible, so it makes sense that this also benefits lilypond.

I've started work on a project of my own that will do online rendering of lilypond (rather different design objectives from yours, though). I've been worrying a bit about resource consumption of frequent renders, and your application is occupying a rather extreme point there. Do you have any data about this already?
Do you happen to know where the root cause analysis will be posted if it is made public?

> The one reason why I dislike Common Core is that this kind of explanation get quickly become tedious if you already understand what’s going on and it’s “obvious” to you.

If that's the case, then it sounds like your child needs to be in a higher level math course. If they're already at the top, then I don't think having to explain in detail the "why" behind concepts will be a net negative for your child.

Learning how to explain a concept simply and succinctly is critical to most modern knowledge-based jobs.

Just curious, have you read all the way through the Common Core math standards? Most of the people I know in technical and engineering professions who have read completely through it (and not just a single section or grade level), come out with a lot of respect for the standards.
> A medallion system makes the ride-share services contribute their share for the increase in wear & tear on infrastructure.

Medallion revenue doesn't go to infrastructure though; Gas Tax does though and is an existing way to tax on use. And to counter your point, it's rarely the rider oriented cars, suvs, and minivans that actually wear and tear the streets; it's more likely that they are subsidizing the roads for delivery trucks.
My new favorite factoid... the percentage of people living in extreme poverty (less than $2/day) has dropped from 29% to just 9% in the past 20 years alone. The mind boggles. We've made as much progress against extreme poverty in the past 20 years as the past 20,000 years. Two thirds of it, just gone.

Looking at the angry headlines of the day is a very misleading way of understanding the world.
I am on Google-Fi. Performance / coverage is pretty good, but I can't compare to ATT.

I will say I feel like the pricing isn't very competitive with other carriers, as it was ~2 years ago. Fi is a great choice for someone who knows they will be on WiFi the majority of the time, and want to keep your wireless bill <50$ a month. Once you start using data, it gets pretty expensive, even with their recent data cap protection.
Spot on. A few UX and editing passes would make a world of difference.

Perhaps it used to be the case that people had trouble imagining a utopia, but here's two solid utopias (or near enough) I've encountered in fiction: the entirety of Ian M Bank's "Culture"; and the second chapter of Cory Doctorow's "Walkaway".

Also, there's the perennial example of Burning Man (and related festivals) - here's an example of people creating happiness that has little to do with the removal of scarcities, and plenty to do with the addition of abundance.

To go off @mactintyre's selection: if "nearly all creators of Utopia have resembled the man who has toothache, and therefore thinks happiness consists in not having toothache. They wanted to produce a perfect society by an endless continuation of something that had only been valuable because it was temporary", well, seems to me that's a failure of imagination and experience more than an incapacity in humans or reality.

You could also look to Asimov's "Profession" (http://www.inf.ufpr.br/renato/profession.html) - again, while not exactly a Utopia, it's decently close - and more importantly:

"It won’t do to say to a man, ‘You can create. Do so.’ It is much safer to wait for a man to say, ‘I can create, and I will do so whether you wish it or not.’"

These are the people that, when all scarcity has been eliminated, take that bland contentedness which results and turn into something more.

Not to say the Orwell is wrong - he's on the nose: "Happiness hitherto has been a by-product, and for all we know it may always remain so. The real objective of Socialism is human brotherhood."
Your second concept is something that every human believes in, whether you want to accept that or not. We're selfish by nature. We choose who we like and who we don't like.
The immortals from the webcomic El Goonish Shive do something like this to avoid insanity, passing only important memories into their new lives. It tends to lead to panic (due to half-remembering important things) or unwanted obligations in their next life.

I am disconnected from those realities because for me they are not comparable (to me personally or even in general).

The first is scale. WWII scale was massive and considering that WWII was really just WWI-part2 its really just the continuation of the global struggle for power finally ended in ~1991.

Second is personal closeness. My relatives participated in WWII. My life is shaped by its outcome.

Third is ideological. WWII was a battle of world ideology. Fascism, communism, and liberal democracy.

For the places mentioned they do not have the same affect in my life. If those realities took place on a different planet I would not be the wiser.

> From the look of things, most of it. Just look at the decision to use markdown (md) for github instead of the ubiquitous troff which is installed by default on every *nix machine to date so you can read man pages.

This is particularly unfortunate because md -> man page converters always use the -man set of macros. -mdoc could encapsulate a lot of semantic information[1,2], which also factors into apropos(1) on mandoc[3], but obviously that isn't possible to reasonably capture from Markdown.

Humans can't really tell the difference between real and simulated risk.

Online games are incredibly compelling for the people who play them, but they're a lot less risky than taking part in a real war and risking real blood and real body parts.

I don't see why we couldn't sublimate games like economics in the same way. The experience of winning would be almost identical, but simulations wouldn't have to be zero sum in the way that meatspace acquisition games usually are.

But millions less than there were even a few decades ago. The world is making progress toward peace, health, safety, and a decent standard of living at an extraordinary pace right now.

edit: Where do you think all the Syrian and Lebanese restaurants in America came from? Refugees from the collapse of the Ottoman empire post-WWI. It was just as bad then as it is now. But it can get better, and I am totally convinced it will.

Every wave of immigration that made America what it is today came from people fleeing poverty and violence. Hardly anyone emigrates away from a safe, comfortable life with family and friends and familiar sights nearby. In the 19th century, 20% of the population of Sweden came to the US to escape famine. Sweden was 90% illiterate, mired in extreme poverty, with a birth rate above 5. Now, it's... Sweden. The most civilized country in the world.

If Sweden can evolve from an impoverished hellhole to being the epitome of modern civilization in a century, why can't the same thing happen to Syria? Or Sudan? Or Myanmar? I think it can, and it will.

Marx and others who elaborated on his work developed the notion of alienation under capital—the notion that capitalism really screws up the specific sort of pleasure you describe. The idea, if I'm not messing it up too badly, is that a worker under capitalism encounters the stuff they make as something alien to them—and in fact something that shapes and brings the worker into being rather than the other way around. I know I experienced this phenomenon all the time staring at code on a screen when I was working in tech.
The reason these exist is because these topics are big and somewhat inaccessible, but they are relevant to people who wouldn't learn them in the normal course of their lives. You wouldn't expect to see as many for something that is commonly known in a given field and doesn't matter to people outside it, or things which are already quite accessible without trying to make them super-friendly.

Here's an example that does something similar with the law: http://lawcomic.net/

You'll notice that the law has the same characteristics I identified earlier in technology — it's very relevant to ordinary people, but it's large and inaccessible enough that most people don't really understand it and setting a law book in front of them wouldn't help.
