Isn't money a form of gamification, especially once you get beyond the most straightforward types of transactions and economic relationships?

Wall St is full of click farms where people grind for gold and hidden power ups.

What we may be seeing is more like an explosion of alternative currencies. I'm not saying this is good. These are mostly "company tokens" or domain specific lock-in tokens that are not fungible.
> they basically find out that baby had powers?

The baby demonstrates powers in the first movie when Syndrome tries to abduct him at the very end. But the baby in the air and the rest of the family are on the ground, so maybe they didn't see what was happening? They do see the baby fall, so Mr. Incredible throws up Elastigirl to catch him, who then parachutes the baby down.

> I thought there was a conversation with the babysitter where she was freaking out and told them that their baby had special needs. ... Wouldn't you as a parent ask your babysitter at some point in the next few days/weeks/months

That's in the short 'Jack Jack Attack'. Let me think through this:

* During I1, baby is terrorizing babysitter and destroying house with powers as shown in Jack Jack Attack. JJA explains the baby's newfound powers by saying the babysitter played him classical music. (This aligns with Edna Mode's observation in I2 that the baby responds to music.)

* Syndrome relives the babysitter towards the end of JJA, as he attempts to abduct the baby. (So there's no immediate opportunity to talk to the original babysitter.)

* End of I1, baby escapes from Syndrome using powers that maybe his parents didn't see. Because the crashing plane destroys the house, they can't see the damage his powers did to the house.

So at the end of I1, their house is destroyed, which I think is supposed to explain why they're in a motel at the beginning of I2. But if that's the case, how much time was there between the destruction of the house at the end of I1 and the track meet at the very end of the same movie? (Where Violet gets asked out and the Underminer shows up.)

I think for it to be consistent, you have to believe that there wasn't much time before the track meet in I1, and the parents hadn't talked to the babysitter. Maybe reasonable, given that their house was just destroyed? That said, the family depicted at that track meet didn't look like a family that had just been displaced out of their home because it was destroyed by a plane crash...
lovely looking website. Interested to see what segment of the engineering community this service will prove greatest value to.

Likely a lot of connected, visible, high profile engineers won't need this, but they are the 'conspicuous minority'....suspect a lot of folks will find this useful

I'm sure the SEC will find some way to call this insider trading, if they want. The mortgages are destined to be securitized!

Exactly this. Network connections won't fire without a visible link? Fine. Save up user data for when they navigate around the site and send it as a batched query.

Heck, even if browsers always showed you the data they were about to send, split out by field, just base64 encode what you don't want them to know you know and give it an innocuous field name like, "session_id". Even better, piggyback off of legitimate fields with zero-width-character encoded data. Where there is any signal at all, there is a way to hide extra information.
Are you sure? TMSI I agree is plaintext, but not IMSI, right?

TMSI is not as "temp" as the name implies, but that doesn't make it an IMSI catcher.
If Apple cared about destroying Android, they would simply release an affordable phone.

They have one of the most optimized supply chains in the industry, they have a massive cash war chest to use to subsidize R&D. Apple clearly chooses high margins and profit over "destroying Android".
Indeed. Wildfires aren't really about drought so much as they're about abundant kindling (e.g. smaller trees not already burnt). Wildfires are essential to keeping forests healthy, and by trying to stop them entirely we've only made them more frequent and destructive.

What I'm curious about is whether LIC condo prices are really going to increase dramatically compared to similar projects in other parts of NYC? LIC is a major subway stop and well connected to the rest of NYC as is...you can live in Manhattan and get to LIC in 1-9 stops in < 30m. You could even live in Jersey City and get to LIC in 50m. It takes longer for some people living in outer neighborhoods of SF to get downtown than that!

I was using 'democratic' sarcastically (but I didn't do a good job conveying that). What I was trying to convey is that due to lobbying and corruption money eventually gets routed away from what the politician you voted for said they'd put money towards.
Bad parts: Yes, there is disrepair since the owners do not care about any common property. Everything outside their doorstep is not their concern. They expect "city" or "state" to take care of it. They care even less about the area surrounding their compound.

Good parts: People do not mind gentrification. All those people who would be pushed out of their rented homes instead happy and gay that their property rise in price and worth more if they decide to rent it out. Note: avoid telling those people that they are gay

Weird parts: In Moscow, renting an one bedroom is ~$400/mo. There are a lot of jobs in public sector or small business which pay around $400/mo. How do people manage on that kind of salary? You guessed it right, they're homeowners, so they pay $50 in utilities and they're all set. So you can say that a lot of jobs are still subsidized by late USSR's construction boom.

IMO Nix code is the exact opposite of easy to read and usable. I used it on my headless box at home for a couple of years and really liked the concept, but the syntax is just way too hard to use IMO. I'd like to take a look at using guix as the lisp syntax I think is much easier to grok.
I think his point is: it's ironic that you're criticizing people for posting one-off thoughtless comments when you assumed this woman was a bad person from exactly one isolated event that she apologized for, knowing nothing else about her. You then tried to justify this by saying "well she probably did it more than once." This is the definition of a one-off thoughtless comment. GP told you to read the whole article carefully because it provides evidence that what you're saying might not be true.
I'm going to be honest with you: I would never use a website that used this service. I would just close the tab. I suspect most people would too.

How do you pay 15£/month for unlimited data?
Three had 17£/month (now 30GB for new clients) but I’ve never seen 15£/month for unlimited data.
At a high level, it's because Atom is buult from components, and each of those components is made up of hundreds of components, and each of those is made from hundreds of components, etc. Each component is general-purpose in some way, and includes code that isn't used by Atom. To be slightly more specific, when I pull apart components like this to figure out why they're so large (like a 100MB XML-parsing library), the vast majority of the bulk is usually huge tables of data, such as unicode mappings. Most likely, Atom contains multiple components which contain the same data tables, but because of the hierarchical nature of modern software development, no one can cut through the layers and DRY up (denormalize?) that data.

> Can we stop using the term ‘math prodigy’ for someone who was essentially a quant monkey - that too at best a decent one?

The guy was a math prodigy though. What else would you call one of the top math students at cambridge?

> He ain’t no Ramanujan, or a Terrence Tao or any of the recent Fields’ medalists who have poured their heart and soul into their craft with no expected financial return.

You don't have to win the Fields' medal or achieve greatness to be a prodigy. There are plenty of prodigies who fail to live up to their potential or simply choose to do other things.

It's not just in academics. There are sports prodigies who, for a variety of reasons, fail to achieve greatness.

Take baseball. For every ken griffey jr, there are a bunch of brien taylors. For every lebron, you have a greg oden or kwame brown.
Is that so? If you look at people's behavior, most people seem to accept targeted advertising. Every bit of evidence I've seen indicates that the outrage against the practice comes from a small minority with a disproportionate voice --- much like many other sources of chronic public outrage today. Regular people, to the best of my knowledge, don't care.

In tests, cyclists cannot tell the difference between frame materials when the frame is covered.

Man, I have a hard time believing that. Now, I've not done a blind taste test, but I truly believe I'll tell the difference between a good carbon frame and an aluminum frame of equal quality. All of the frames in my garage have noticeably different characteristics, and it can't all be placebo. But, I'm an ex-racer, blah, blah, so maybe most people can't tell the difference.

Yeah, you'd have to prevent JS from catching a broad set of user events at all, and disallow modification of most of the DOM by it. Again, basically restrict it to tightly-context-constrained functions to do stuff like custom sorting. There'd still be security issues with it from time to time, but they'd be bugs rather than baked-in insecurity that's part of its feature set.
> How would it diminish her accomplishments?

You're creating a separate category based on her gender, which is sexist in and of itself. It may have good intentions, but you're treating her different because of her sex. If we believe that genders are equal I'm not sure we should be drawing attention to it as a handicap. And if it is a handicap, which seems to be what you're saying, this only promulgates the status that men are more likely to succeed and I initially read it as discouraging.

I guess I just framed it differently than you. You see it as progress towards overcoming the adversity gap of being a woman in tech, whereas I naïvely think we should just treat women as equals. If calling attention to it is a necessary step in overcoming inequality then so be it.

I guess the issue is how do we change the playing field so it's no longer a handicap? I have no idea how to solve sexism and I am not trying to incite rage. I am asking questions because I am trying to have a conversation. For those who have responded civilly, thank you. I have some thinking to do.
As my father — a development economist — says, “We used to call it the ‘financial services industry.’ You can pinpoint when the US economy changed irrevocably when they dropped the pretence of serving and just became ‘finance.’”
Do you pay for news? I do and I can tell you there is literally no way I'm going to do a per-article payment test.

In fact, what I want I already have. The WSJ will bundle (yes, bundle) all its articles into a single monthly fee. The Economist happily does the same.

If, for some reason, these guys decided to switch me to pay-per-article I just wouldn't read them. That's too much of a cost. I can't afford it. Time is too precious for this nonsense.
Maybe super intelligence would know that you’d suspect as much and decided to hide in plain sight, knowing it would be suspected but also knowing that humans would just rationalize it as paranoia and dismiss it eventually, letting it do its thing quietly and uninhibited.
One of the most effective tools of propaganda ist repeating falsehoods until they "feel true". Limiting speech probably works against that.
No. I'm arguing that no one bribed him with the intent of having an AG in their pocket because no one had a clue 3 years ago he'd be (possibly illegally) made acting AG.
> "Do you want a medal?" one woman quipped.

See, my first assumption is that the person probably ran across this tweet, saw a guy putting laundry away and bragging about it, completely missed that he has a disability and is taking pride in his ability to do normal things and just assumed it was some sexist pig who felt like he was being all pro women's lib because he did five fucking minutes of housework. Then, without so much as looking at the account to see that it was a disabled individual, they fired off their tweet from their high horse where they imagine that gender policing random strangers on the internet by pissing all over them without taking context into consideration somehow makes the world A Better Place.

Okay, they are assholes. But they are assholes whose asshole behavior would be actively celebrated in many places on the internet. It's a kind of assholery I routinely see on HN and I hesitate to say too much about it in part because, you know, pot meet kettle. If I run around crabbing constantly at people for doing that, I'm basically guilty of the same crime as they are, no?

I don't know a good solution. But my feeling was this was not about his disability. This was about "Oh, some man thinks he done good by doing five minutes of women's work. Let's let him know our ugly opinion of that!"

If you believe in hegemony, it's reasonable to want one entity to have a better (more efficient) weapon.
Disagree. I think the last fifty years proves that the vast majority of people will almost always go with convenience over some abstract ideal of "privacy".
"Damaging society (e.g. via increasingly obscene wealth inequality making people more unhappy) means, long-term, risking massive societal upheaval, and thus your position."

> You'd think a company with so many employees and SO much of our data could do a better job at the very least telling us what happened in a decent way

You are not their primary concern or interest. Market share and margins are. You are 100% replaceable within seconds on their platform.
In my experience, if you're coming in through a contact, the resume is just a formality at that point. Make sure that you tick all the boxes, basically due diligence.
You're right, that was more of a knee-jerk reaction to a statement that it's like regular city governments in the US. The truth is more subtle: the UK benefits from The City's position as a world financial centre, and so parliament is incentivized to give The City a large degree of independence when it comes to setting financial regulation. By keeping them at arm's length they can have their cake and eat it too by setting strict tax rules for the entire country, but leaving loopholes to allow all the international money to flow in.
Great. Now everyone will juice his resume with something like this and we'll all end up in the same relative positions we were before, except 1) actual resume information density will be lower, as we'll have decreased the SNR through keyword juicing, and 2) anyone not paying attention to these tools (and focusing on work instead) will be unfairly penalized in early-stage hiring filter.

This is the best timeline.

Many people didn’t have this at all and we’re still very negatively impacted by the recession due to loss of employment or raised taxes (eg I personally did not benefit from the pre-recession as I was too young and my family wasn’t particularly well off nor had a mortgage and I entered the job market right in the midst of the recession and I was hit with an income levy introduced to bail the banks out — I was personally lucky as tech wasn’t particularly heavily affected but many people were not so lucky).

Generally curious: Is there such a thing as "insider trading" for real estate purchases?

For example, what if Bezos were to buy a ton of real estate in the DC area anticipating the value would go up after he announces Amazon will locate there, and he could effectively position himself as a "slumlord" of sorts for the surrounding real estate market?
Oh, definitely. I am not saying that not doing the normal agile crap for development brings us closer to AGI. What I would venture to say though is that trying stuff like formal verification and finding a way to integrate it in a daily workflow would definitely help with the average quality of software developed through such a process. And that maybe the private labs are more liberal and let people's creativity achieve results.

Admittedly, yes, there's no proof. But we as an area are pretty stuck lately IMO. But that goes off-topic.
I don't want ads in the abstract, but I want them more than the alternatives I've seen offered. Ditto for capitalism and democracy :)
Show HN: Forbes GDPR opt out not doable over https
It's not a direct measurement, but a program can request an action ("get data from a website") and measure how long it takes. Short time implies cached.
I’d also be curious as to how many condos were bought in the cities that did not “win”. I’d imagine it would be very hard to get that data though...
My interpretation:

- Paying this small tax would help the homeless, but Jeff/Amazon would see no direct benefit from this.

- Donating money has the direct benefit of positive PR. The last wealthiest guy in the world did it too-- so arguably not doing it is in fact not a neutral stance but negative PR.

Hence it's in Jeff Bezos' interest to pay less taxes and donate the money it takes to make the headlines.
This is entirely fair. I sometimes wonder if there might be some alternate or future timeline where octopi have evolved to be individually much smarter than humans but have no real technological accomplishments because their species is individualistic and territorial.

I still think it's roughly correct to state that humans are a pretty dumb animal that juuuuust manages to pass the threshold of traits required to develop technology.
I actually feel like what'll get much more expensive is Nassau county. LIC is right off the LIRR, and commuting from LI -> LIC is very doable.

LIC is already basically full of luxury high-rises, so it's unclear to me that it'll get significantly more expensive.

Of course, what the hell do I know about real estate.
What's Coming in OpenStack Stein?
I'm under the impression at least part of Apple's unusual behaviour this year (e.g. no longer reporting sales) is down to the XR.

From what I can see, the XR (or its successors) are to occupy the role the SE previously had, and the iPhone 7 has now. It's a long game that plays out two years from now (by which point they couldn't abruptly introduce a one camera, 720p LCD screen without it looking very very much like the 5C).

With a selling price of $800, I can't imagine they expected many people to buy it over (1) keeping their current phone or (2) paying a few hundred more for a flagship model. Once you go that high in price the difference makes less and less.
