I think this level of worship of mathematical models is the exact reason that physicists shouldn’t be employed outside of physics. Most academic communities have over the past several decades adopted a Bayesian point of view for their modeling purposes. The idealized perception of a perfect mathematical model is so antiquated, I would consider it the equivalent of a flat earth theory in modern statistal physics. I say this as a prior mathematician who has since seen the limitations of this perspective.
Keep up the good work. If you see Matt Cutts, say hi for me.
Anything non-localised has been pretty good on DDG recently, much better than a few years ago. I tend to only pull up google for searches like 'XXXXX Opening Hours' and maps related queries nowadays.
These days I pretty much view Google through the same lens as Microsoft they have eroded basically all my goodwill. I use their products begrudgingly and view everything they announce with a healthy cloud of suspicion.
This is a pedantic overly literal reading of what I wrote. Please use your brain while reading to interpret what's being said in the form that makes sense. Otherwise we'll just spend all our time dragging you away from hostile, idiotic misinterpretations (which you'd never make it you agreed with the underlying point) to talk about the issue.

E.g I obviously don't mean that literally no person who doesn't live in the coastal USA can help. I'm indicating an archetype of a person.

Which is why the freemium model evolved.

But we’re not talking about piracy here. If the publishers thought of it that way they’d block all access to archive sites.

Anyway, rather than a snarky dismissal like this, do you have a constructive suggestion for a solution that works well for everyone?

If the answer is “no paywalled sites on HN ever” please say so.

But if you have a more nuanced suggestion that would be a huge help!
None of the extant speciation criteria seem testable across time, so the species distinction between an ancestor and its progeny seems difficult to navigate. This sort of event, of a species vanishing through the slow evolution of its progeny, is called "pseudoextinction" to distinguish from the other, true 'extinction' (the last surviving member of a lineage dies). In this case since we know that Neanderthal DNA lives on in its H. Sapiens descendants we can safely call this "pseudo" rather than a true extinction.
However, many regions allow format shifting, which can overrule that particular part of the DMCA. Though the rules are, again, regional.

I am no military expert, but it seriously looks like China has us in a stranglehold.
My two points are.

1. A lot of soft hard to quantify schools of thought went totally off the rails after WWII in a head long rush to impose 'scientific rigor' by aping physics. And to curry favor with the suddenly terrifying political theories of the day.

2. Martin Gardner has line that when supporting evidence in a field is weak and opaque theory mimics the cultural biases of the scientists. "evidence in a field is weak and opaque" fits economics perfectly.

Put those two together is the conclusion is economics is mostly a huge pile of stinking garbage. At best it's mostly irrelevant.
Are you really a white-hat if you have to disclose vulnerabilities to an organisation known to exploit (or at least hoard) them?
There are a bunch of cheap stock Android phones now from the Android One program. Nokia has the 3.1, 5.1, 6.1, 6.1+. Xiaomi has Mi A1, A2 Lite, A2. Then there's the BQ Aquaris X2, GM9 Pro, Sharp X1, Motorola One.

Let me put it in worker placement board game terms.

If you have invested in making a worker scientist you probably want to place them on the location where you get a chance of getting a Tech upgrade. You likely dont want to place them on the location where you have a chance of upgrading another worker to a scientist worker when a much less specialized worker will do. And if you have too many tech upgrades then it makes no sense to try to upgrade normal workers to scientist workers.

Anyone that plays games actually has an intuitive sense of economic calculation.
Was physicist. Did engineering problems. Didn’t have much trouble (especially compared to those with more specialized educations in the relevant fields).
Peter is pretty much on the money here. Google's biggest (search engine) threat is Facebook if FB can get their act together. Second is Amazon since they can be a one stop shop. But his comment came before the AI 2nd revolution hit mainstream which has changed R&D at all of the tech companies. Google does have some problems though, it can't go to far down the DoD, Darpa route since Googlers don't want to work with the military (as the article describes) and then it may miss out on innovation in China by not having a Chinese presence and offices in China to get at that talent. That ship may have sailed though as Alibaba and Baidu are giant. What Google really needs to do is unleash its human capital.
Ask HN: What can be done to prevent a climate catastrophe?
It seems to me that governments can be counted out of taking the leadership needed to solve this within 12 years. If anything they seem to want to act against solving this issue in some cases.

So what can we do so our children don't live in some ghastly hothouse world?

The scientists have told us its our final chance.... not to start within 12 years, but solve it within 12 years.

I feel like the young people need to take charge of the world because the older generations have had their chance and not fixed it.

Maybe corporations are the ones who can be pressured to take the lead.
Hopefully without the Swiss cheese security.
Not really profitable. It's largely a tax dodge actually. They avoid using money to artificially underreport their production and consumption. If they paid tax on the real values, would they still be profitable? Maybe, maybe not, but it would be a tougher situation.

My criticism is that it doesn't scale and they're freeloaders. And you can bet if enough people started dodging taxes like this, the IRS would be on the case. But it's small scale so they get away with it.

I don't think they're doing something morally wrong, to be clear. Just that it can't scale.

Other farms pay tax fully, and my criticism doesn't apply.
>The questionnaire consisted of two main sections: The first section
listed 12 common media types and participants reported the total
number of hours per week they spent using each medium. In the
modified version used in the present study, 10 media types were
retained from [2]: Print media, television, computer-based video,
music, voice calls using mobile or telephone, instant messaging,
Short Messaging Service (SMS) messaging, Email, web surfing and
other computer-based applications. The item ‘‘video or computer
games’’ was modified to include games on mobile phones. The
item ‘‘non-music audio’’ was replaced with ‘‘using social networking
sites’’. The changes were made to better reflect current trends
in media consumption. The second section consisted of a matrix
that involved participants indicating how much they concurrently
used all the other types of medium as they used a primary
medium. Amount of concurrent use was indicated on a scale of 1
to 4 (1 = ‘‘Never’’, 2 = ‘‘A little of the time’’, 3 = ‘‘Some of the
time’’ and 4 = ‘‘Most of the time’’). The participants’ responses
were first recoded as follows: ‘‘Never’’ = 0, ‘‘A little of the time’’
= 0.33, ‘‘Some of the time’’ = 0.67 and ‘‘Most of the time’’ = 1.

This seems like a bit of a silly study to me. It would be incredibly difficult for anyone in the software sector to say they aren't multitasking considering what they consider to be multitasking. I would be willing to bet most people use some forms of that concurrently, whether it's dealing with emails while in a web meeting or listening to music while coding.
I'd love to see a machine learning system that consistently matches the profits that the successful quantitative funds do.

How about Google Search?
Agreed. On the first day of class at my university the professor repeated over and over that computer science was the design and implementation of algorithms. They would not teach us programming. There was an optional 3 hour weekly lab for 0 credit that the TA's would be doing to help with homework and teach C. The homework was required to be submitted in C. Every computer on campus ran Slackware with Afterstep desktop. They taught everyone to use Emacs during the optional labs also. It was sublime.
I'm sure NYC looks better than these cities, but I'm not sure by how much if the stats are through the lens of a dating app rather than the overall population.
Sometimes I find this kind of thing pretty weird (keep in mind that I have a very naive understanding of economics). For example, food prices as a ratio of average income keep falling. So our standard of living is improving! The same goes for a lot of goods -- like clothes. People have better access to food, more clothes, better houses and more disposable income to boot.

It has struck me, though, that this standard of living increase is actually dependent upon a very specific system of production. I live in Japan and I have an interest in traditional Japanese clothing. I can buy traditional Japanese clothing made the same way it was always made, but I can't afford it. So in a way, we are not comparing apples to apples when we measure our increase in standard of living. The very fact that an artisan making traditional goods in the traditional way desires the same increase in standard of living as I have means that their goods are at least as expensive (as a ratio of average income) as they always were. Sometimes because they have a very limited market, their prices are considerably higher in order to achieve an acceptable income.

In that way, I think economic growth is a bit of an illusion. We can still improve efficiency a lot -- how many people are limited in their life because they simply lack capital? I would argue that the vast majority of people on the planet fall into this category. We can grow the economy in very real terms by ensuring that more people get access to more capital. But a lot of it is smoke and mirrors. Externalities are not accounted for -- whether it be environmental degradation or simply loss of lifestyle and culture. Our march of progress steamrolls things that are valuable, without much thought.
Not an expert, and this may have changed since I deployed this, but I based most of our deployment on the Prometheus helm chart.

The helm charts include this: https://github.com/helm/charts/tree/master/stable/prometheus...
On mobile it's basically unviewable.

Gotta say, I wasn't expecting Boulder to have a worse ratio
I've lost those in the same theft as I lost my 2fa device for github. Not going to store them outside of my password manager for github again.

So why do I use 2fa for github? Because organizations require it.
Apple sells privacy, iPhones and then the content services around them. That's a powerful combination. AR/VR are the obvious next generation things we need to get right as is the AI.
>> they give the EU additional excuses to try fine Google billions extra to enrich EU coffers

From wikipedia:

The European Union provides more foreign aid than any other economic union.[20] Covering 7.3% of the world population,[21] the EU in 2017 generated a nominal gross domestic product (GDP) of 19.670 trillion US dollars, constituting approximately 24.6% of global nominal GDP[22] and 16.5% when measured in terms of purchasing power parity.[23] Additionally, all 28 EU countries have a very high Human Development Index, according to the United Nations Development Programme.

The EU is one of the most prosperous, more wealthy regions of the world with some of the most robust legislation to protect citizens' rights, including consumer rights. Arguing that it's going after Google's (and Facebook's, etc) violations of its users' privacy is meant to "fill its coffers" is just clueless.
Yes, they'll still probably have to carry liquid fuel because nothing else has the energy density required. But maybe we can make this fuel from a carbon-neutral source instead of oil pumped out of the ground.
For the scope of this discussion, is there a better measure?
Oil that is considered cheap today would have been considered irretrievable fifty years ago. That's the whole point of the quote.
Take a picture of a traffic light, color-picker out the green and print it solid on a large sheet. Ask Japanese friends what color it is, they'll all say green.

Head to the DC area if you want to flip the ratio.
Without context on how this data was gathered it's mostly meaningless.
Not a dumb question, as I recall reading that in Darwin's time the rate of formation for soil or rock was a big topic of scientific debate. It was apparently somewhat of a breakthrough to realize that "ground level" changes over time.
Added several photos. Working on some video now, too! :)
I have to quibble with that a bit. The US regularly overflew the USSR and China through at least the mid 70s, meaning our best aircraft were in a very real sense fighting their best air defense systems 20 years+ after the Korean war ended.

There have almost certainly been satellite, submarine and other engagements too, they just aren't generally publicized by either side until 30-40+ years later.
all they have to be able to do is make a piece or two break or become unresponsive at the correct time

In the context of the match.com dating app, in these cities, in these age brackets, the gender ratios are as shown. There you go. Meaning!
Performance Improvements in Mesos 1.7.x
Not in this case. One of the sources was interviewed and said the technical details were only suggestive: https://risky.biz/RB517_feature/

Maybe there is something there, and/or there is a reason to talk/substitute in vague terms, but insofar as the explicit technical details are concerned, they don't appear credible. Then you're left with an empty allegation that you will have to decide to believe or not based on no other ground than potentiality.
It's quite sad that Prolog is not used for CS, look how simple it is to implement these sorting algorithms. http://kti.ms.mff.cuni.cz/~bartak/prolog/sorting.html
Most students get lost in the language details instead of understanding the algorithm.
> For Pixel in particular it really feels like they've started copying the iPhone's hardware choices in some ways, for no real reason that I can discern.

The iPhone is cool. That’s why it’s being copied.
Sure, that’s the “if.” Although even the monetary value of a life is probably more than just the economic contribution.

FYI to any readers: Firebase Hosting has nothing to do with the other Firebase stuff. In fact, I personally dislike their live database quite a bit.

If you want to host a simple static site with HTTPS, Firebase Hosting really makes it incredibly easy. My only complaint is that they don't let you view access logs. Here's the official response [0] from the Firebase team as to why that's the case.

Once you have to do anything more complex I think it's better to use a different service. If you don't want to host anything yourself I've heard positive things about Zeit [1], although I haven't personally used it.

I've never lived in that part of the country. What is it about that area (government jobs, other industries) that make it imbalanced toward women?
Dating in these cities as a single man in your 20s and 30s is good for the soul. It forces you to actually develop a personality, figure out how to be fun to be around. Have something interesting going on for you besides working at startup x or being Senior Frontend Engineer at Uber #775.

Women in a city like SF expect more from you, they're not that impressed with money or the fact that you have a stable job. Some look at it as a disadvantage, but is actually an upside. Some men come out of the experience jaded and bitter, blaming "the 49ers" and the ratio. Others take it as an opportunity to step it up and have more to offer to a potential partner. You attract who you are.

I don't agree that $200/bbl oil would be useless: there's plenty of room at that price point for aviation and industrial chemistry. But it doesn't matter, because there are trillions of barrels of unconventional oil available at between $80-$100/bbl. That's expensive, but not infeasibly so. Short-lived supply shocks notwithstanding, there's no reason oil should rise above that price for a good long time.
Started for me with Slashdot, then reddit, then HN. HN was a safer space than reddit. The /r subreddits seem to be ok now for specific topics.. Maybe specific researchers on Twitter are ok too.

Started for my Dad with email, then the blackberry, now the iPhone/FB etc...

Before that you could argue cable tv (for most kids after school)..

Don't forget about Netflix binges today etc...
I guess whether this is a big problem depends on what you value. From some perspectives, knowledge and skills are not ends unto themselves, but only have utility in a specific context. For example, I care not that the skill of carving elephant ivory is basically a lost art at this point. Diversity? I can't say that the presence of nomads in the desert was really moving the needle on that very much in my daily life. A link to our past? Perhaps, but, as GP pointed out, only in the sense of a living museum exhibit. It is not like many people actually go to encounter this link personally, and in any case, even if they did, these are people.

I admit a certain amount of wistful nostalgia, but I personally don't consider nostalgia to be the same thing as sadness. Nostalgia is most often a delusion, not a genuine recollection of the good old days.
> Android manufacturers have not matched that with USB-C audio. They just copied "Step 0) Remove the headphone jack."

Well, except Samsung. Who, IIRC, is has by far the highest flagship sales of any Android handset vendor; they not only kept the headset jack but for the last couple generations have started tearing the premium wired earbuds they are not including as a selling feature.
Although I don't think it's an extraordinarily novel concept, something about the framing of "Gumption Traps" [1] in Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance resonated with me strongly, and sensitivity to them has helped me get a lot more done.

Honestly I'm really offended by this comment. To suggest that coders writing weapons systems have little skin in the game is condescending and shows how ignorant of the environment you are. Low effort comment. Every industry is for the most part disturbingly bad at security in general.

Maybe write some weapons systems or work with people that do and you would have a different perspective.
There is every likely and unlikely combination of political beliefs to be found in every population including commune members. But I will go out on a limb and try to speak for that population. Relatively few see the communal life as a viable prescription for society as a whole, and most believe that all political and economic systems involve painful tradeoffs. On the other hand most look with horror at purist libertarians rejecting as much enforced sharing in general society as possible. This philosophy is irreconcilable with the view of many, inside and outside of communes who strongly believe that having many kinds of sharing - enforced by a government - is necessary for any civilization worth living in, and eternal vigilance against all slippery slopes presented by governments and corporations is unavoidable (and is not simply avoided by letting free markets run amuck). Many of us are thoroughly familiar with your arguments and adamantly reject them as dangerous, simplistic and in effect evil thinking that we will resist with everything we have.
Wired Interviews Bill Gates 1996
1. Yes. Microsoft is still well respected, so having it on your resume will likely open doors for you in the future.

2. No. Microsoft's compensation is generally below Facebook/Google's compensation packages. Be sure to keep cost of living differences in mind though.

3. I personally value options at $0. Unlike RSUs, which are actual stocks, options' value is derived from the difference between the value at strike and the value at liquidation. You'd have to be extremely lucky for your options to be worth more than the money you could be making at a tech giant.

4. It depends on the climate of the place you're working at. If you think it wouldn't be received negatively, go for it. You're the best judge here.

5. You can try to negotiate (it's always worth trying,) but you'll likely fail. Standard negotiating tactics don't work at tech giants due to the large volume of applications received and number of offers being extended. This is doubly true because you're early in your career, so you don't really have the experience needed to leverage a better offer out of thin air.
I wonder what the ratios are on other apps. Do specific apps have different gender and age cohorts? Probably.
