This is exactly what the criticism linked in TFA explores: http://www.pnas.org/content/108/42/E833.long

A related problem here is that even though the original study was bad for many reasons, it continues to be cited much more than the refutation.
I'm sorry that you assumed the worst of me, but I definitely do support some of the tools I use the most via either personal funds or, in the case of work, work funds.

This guy is just sticking his hand in a pot I feel he doesn't need to.

Where it isn't with money, I support with time to the project. Yes, I can't support _every tiny thing_ I use, but it's not a requirement.

Not just piano, when I was learning finger-style/classical guitar, and teachers I know in Jazz, we look to J.S Bach's Well Tempered Clavier just to learn about music. Some of it can be demanding in technique as you work through, but even the simpler lines are delightful, they teach you some lovely and memorable things about patterns, relationships, and harmonic structures in any kind of music we hear today.
I often feel more clear headed and direct in my reasoning when I am slightly hungry. Once I eat, I'm more likely to entertain implausible ideas, play "what if..." and it feels easier to argue for both sides of any idea.

The law, in its majestic equality, forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, to beg in the streets, and to steal their bread.

And anyway, my understanding is that if you're rich enough to charter a private jet, or to own one, you skip a lot of the border formalities.

How do people from the Netherlands refer to themselves? "Dutch" or "Netherlander"? Have Netherlanders shied away from the word "Dutch", as a reaction to the derogatory connotation that the word carries in English?

I'm asking because I read somewhere that "Dutch" was the original term used by inhabitants of the Rhine delta to describe themselves.

Nylas – San Francisco, NYC or remote | Site Reliability Engineer | AWS, Ansible, Terraform | Full-time

The Nylas Cloud APIs (https://nylas.com) makes it an order of magnitude easier for companies to add email, calendar, and contacts integrations to their applications. By being at the core of business communication, scheduling, and contacts, we believe we can shape the future of how people work.

We’re looking for Site Reliability Engineers to join our team to help build and scale the infrastructure our platform runs on and the tools our developers need to get work done. Our SRE team is responsible for the infrastructure layer of our API platform—the base operating system (including security), CI/CD & deployment tools, monitoring and observability tools, and our horizontally sharded data storage layer which stores tens of terabytes of data.

At Nylas, “DevOps” is a part of our engineering culture, not a role we’re looking to fill. Our development team shares the pager with operations and makes their own deploys.

Our stack: Python, MySQL, Redis, AWS, Debian

About you:

- You have 3 - 5 years of production engineering experience

- You are located anywhere in US timezones - we have offices in San Francisco and NYC and this team contains remote members

- You value communication and empathy as much as technical prowess

- You have experience automating systems using any modern configuration management system (Chef, Ansible, Puppet)

- You have experience running services on a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, Azure)

- You can write reliable code in at least one scripting language (Python, Ruby, Perl, JavaScript etc.), though this won’t be a focus of our interview process

- You’re excited to create a modern, scalable infrastructure and automate away drudgery

We wrote about our values, benefits, perks, and published them in our open-source handbook (https://github.com/nylas/handbook). You can also find more details at: https://www.keyvalues.com/nylas

If you're interested in applying, please send me an email at karim@nylas.com!
Woz U – coding bootcamp “broken” and “not worth it”
People who have nothing to hide still shut their bathroom door.

And besides, laws change. I have nothing to hide today; who knows in three months?
Surely you read the entire sentence? Simply put, I don't think lowering the barriers of entry, whether universally or for selected groups, on difficult fields produces equally skilled workers.
Yeah. I feel like many personal economic problems (esp. in the US) boil down to trying to emulate the lifestyle of the upper-class while actually being middle-class. We tend to ignore the existence of an upper class in the US but the distinction is very real.
Looks interesting! However, there is some confusion over whether it's truly REMOTE or not. The job description page says

> Live or be willing to move to Mexico City - this is not a remote position
In engineering circles (coworkers), there is a general theme I notice of looking down on people with MBAs. I dismiss it as “us vs. them” or “technical vs managerial” fight. But, could someone who has a MBA shed some light with an objective view of MBA? Why shouldn’t I get one? Why should I get one?
Many of these cities were more densely connected by train stations prior to Europe's rail network, yet America's co-dependent dreams of the automobile and of flight derailed that and sold the rail network to the lowest bidder for terrible, slow cargo usage only.

Which absolutely does start to explain the lack of transit inside many of these metros: at the same time the rails were converted to mostly cargo only a lot of the suburban commuter lines were themselves "lost" to time or destroyed. It's utterly depressing to see the old passenger train maps in America and compare to what some of those passenger lines could be serving today if like Europe they'd been kept up/maintained.

A lot more of the suburbs in every American city than people realize were served by trolley and passenger train in their infancy that they grew around, and just because many of the lines have been "lost" over the years doesn't mean that their skeletons don't still show in the overall growth pattern. (Until you get into the entirely car-dependent exurbs and "suburbs of the suburbs", of course.)

America outsourced public transit to the lowest bidders, they got bored serving people directly and went with focusing solely on cargo, and people were too busy driving everywhere to notice what they lost.

Hey! I live in Toronto and I'd love to meetup and discuss Canny if you are free / available.

(I'm not currently looking for a job but I would like to discuss about your journey and get some insights as I'm looking into bootstrapping my startup. I followed Canny since it was posted on Product Hunt).
So whats the "correct" way to manage an office full of macs in 2018?

* Centralized password management

* Preload software (chrome, firefox, java) and settings

* Enterprise CA

* Schedule OS updates
And I can tell your family is Irish because you called it Derry, not London Derry. I nearly got in a fistfight with an Irishmen over accidentally making that distinction wrong.

Since 1/2 of my team is based out of London (I'm in the US), I go to the UK at least once or twice per year and always take an extra week or two to see the various other parts of the UK. Nice country overall.

These cameras are insanely popular here in Australia. I know multiple people who have them in their cars, who aren't very tech minded, and who most likely just clicked through like the video poster above.

It's clear from the GIF in the video description how deceptive this is, whether maliciously or through the oh-so-common crappiness of bundled apps these days.
Just an anecdote of my personal experience, since there's generally a sense of uselessness for MBAs in tech and I held the same view until recently getting an MBA.

I was moving from engineering to product management and thought it would help my resume to get an MBA, but I was pleasantly surprised how useful in many other regards the process and learnings were.

For sure learning on your own, doing things, building product, is better than structured curriculum. But there's something to be said for being exposed to a broad set of business information. When heads down writing code and building businesses, it's hard to step out and learn this disparate knowledge unless you're forced to by wanting to graduate. Maybe you're more disciplined than I, but in my free time I wouldn't dabble in accounting for instance, just wasn't interested. The forcing function is surprisingly helpful.

I'm not claiming it's for everyone, but I got a ton out of my MBA and would recommend. My situation was moving from engineering to product, had full time PM job, trying to start a side business, which now has had significant growth that I attribute a lot to my learnings from the MBA.
Curios for the reasoning for not accepting new H-1Bs?

None of the content that makes it to mass media -- film, tv, whatever -- is the unique vision of a sole creator. People are foisting their fears about this onto Netflix, and find evidence of "writing-by-data" in its content, because they are looking for it. No one wants to pull down the curtain and look this closely at the rest of the media we consume because it would ruin the illusion that it's worth watching. Like most other media, video has lost most of its cult value.
King & Union | Python/Back-end developer | Washington, DC | ONSITE FULL-TIME

The point: We are an information security/threat intelligence company. Our goal is to make the threat intelligence process run more smoothly and help organizations share threat data better. Our web app pulls threat information (both our own and via external APIs) into a graph and enables real-time collaboration and sharing of the information on the graph. (If you're aware of the tools, think of combining Google Docs with a graph editor like Maltego and mix in some process automation.)

What we're looking for: a mid/advanced back-end developer comfortable with Python & Django. The back-end of our application is built in Python with Django/Django Channels. Ideally, the person for this role would also understand command line work (we're still small, we all do a bit of everything). There would also be some design work as we roll out new features to the site and migrate data graph db in the near future.

Perks of the job: early round shares, competitive salary, 401k, & healthcare benefits. Also, we work from home a lot and our focus is on getting the work done, not on face time.

A bit about us: We are a pre-A-round startup. We have a working product and paying customers, so we're in a good spot financially. We are based in Alexandria, VA but as mentioned above, working from home is common. We tend to meet up in Alexandria once a week.

We encourage all who are interested to contact us. You can reach me at: aaron@kingandunion.com
This argument reminds me a lot of Roger Ebert's argument that video games can never be art. https://www.rogerebert.com/rogers-journal/video-games-can-ne...

He says, "My notion is that it grows better the more it improves or alters nature through an passage through what we might call the artist's soul, or vision."

In fact, the article even notes "two of the projects are adaptations of video games!" Maybe one reason why in my view there aren't a lot of great movies based on video games is because there's something missing in the form that Netflix can improve upon. Hacker News shouldn't be a place where innovation is always so immediately viewed so skeptically. Most new ideas will fail, but shouldn't it be encouraged anyway?

Taking a step back, and more to the substance of your point, I don't think participatory art is any less one person's vision. You look at something like Yayoi Kusama's Obliteration Rooms and you come away with a very clear vision from her. In the same way, what Black Mirror is trying to do with this experiment by incorporating audience participation seems to be very much a part of the story that they are trying to tell.

On the children shows, I think you are actually outside of this debate because the question is more what's better from an educational standpoint than from an artistic standpoint.
very clever and it would almost certainly work. But what do you do for your phone?
I bet if you ask on the Unity forums you might get more specific help.
