I gave a talk about this at ClojureNYC in 2017, the second half of the talk is about modeling graphs in various popular databases (SQL, Neo4j, Mongo, Datomic) and the problems you encounter https://s3.amazonaws.com/www.dustingetz.com/Getz+2017+Datomi...

Datomic (an immutable database for doing functional programming in the database) is central to my startup http://www.hyperfiddle.net/ , I don't think Hyperfiddle is possible to build on other databases that exist today. The future lies in immutability, full stop.

Why not? Then the wealth can be distributed to everyone fairly. Having this safety net available for everyone and not just the rich would reduce the need for wealth hoarding in the first place. Your ideology has no justification besides your own particular interest in the class position of your offspring.

Apparently in the underlying paper they did a chi-squared test on gender and didn't see a significant difference (so also didn't report the raw data), this was surprising since I've only really seen something like this aggression affect in women and everyone's anecdotes seem to be of women. (Or maybe I'm just overly separating the desire to "tightly hug" and "squeeze until they burst".) Would be interesting to get a sample of male anime fans and their reactions to cute anime girls and see if the distribution is normal.
I was ready to jump on the bandwagon of people hating new technology until I hit this section:

> The trouble started, the couple said, when their 10-year-old son was nearly hit by one of the vehicles while he was playing in a nearby cul-de-sac.

> “They said they need real-world examples, but I don’t want to be their real-world mistake,” said Mr. O’Polka, who runs his own company providing information technology to small businesses.

I can see the perspective where if you've experienced an issue like this you might see them as more than an idle threat.
Another position to take against driverless cars (or rather, the proliferation and eventual obligation thereof) is the loss of freedom and control. Instead of the fault of human causing harm to another human, it's replaced with the fault of an opaque, massively complex algorithm; and that is rather unsettling to some people.

Troubleshooting hardware problems in Linux
Unfortunate, but I guess with any new tech there will always be luddites.

Some programmers are some of the worst luddites out there! When compilers came in, there were programmers who insisted writing the machine language themselves was better. Then there are programmers who are just as bad because they're too much the opposite of luddites.
> For the former, anyone who uses such an argument has in some form or fashion accepted the belief that some jobs should not pay a livable wage...

What's a "livable wage"? The whole point of assessing whether people are "living beyond their means" is precisely to figure out if they're keeping their expenses within that 'livable wage' threshold. I think you'll find that most people with money-related issues ("poverty" in this context should be reserved for actual, true deprivation, which is vanishingly rare in the US! Social exclusion/marginalization is real, but it's a very different problem, with different ways of addressing it) are in fact not doing enough to keep their expenses in check.
I'd put it slightly different, and more simplified:

It's about the relationships (between the nodes).

The "whir" in reverse for most vehicles is caused by the reverse gear having different types of teeth than the forward gears. These gears (spur instead of the normal helical) are much easier to get into place, but distribute the stress less evenly, causing more noise and wear. Since most vehicles don't back up a lot, this is an acceptable trade-off.

I suggest that you talk to a lawyer and/or HR before making any mention of other employees's medical conditions to anyone.

Also, remember that you're a manager, not a doctor and not a friend. Getting emotionally invested beyond your job role will hurt more than it will help. There is only so much of you to go around, and without proper training in handling this sort of problems you will run out of your own sanity in short order.

How to Read and Use a Box-And-Whisker Plot
This article really sums up 2018 quite nicely. A year exemplifying the heights of both technological achievement and human stupidity.
"If you’re smart, you can go the MD or STEM route and end up in tech or finance"

These typically entail large student loans, which make it difficult to save much in one's 20s.

"If you can’t do that, then electricians, plumbers, and mechanics make a decent amount starting very young."

These are good options, but realistically there are only so many of these jobs to go around. They also require vocational training, which costs money, or the good fortune to obtain an apprenticeship.

"If you give up your 20s in SoCal, you better be doing something to hit the ground running fast with $150k+ "

Most people will never achieve that salary in their lifetime (speaking in real terms).

You're ignoring the question. It's not about ability, it's about failure mode.

I like keys / phone / wallet because you can lose 2/3 of those things and still be fine in you home city.

Lose your phone/wallet? Call a cab, go home, get a backup CC or cash.
Lose your keys/phone? You can buy/borrow a phone / call a locksmith. Worst case you can book a hotel with your wallet.

Etc.

Phone only..... you lose it, what do you do? Keyless locks with codes do offer part of a solution here.

Maybe the right answer in the future will just be to have two phones. Probably a fancy primary and a cheap backup.

I was hoping a mod would notice and update the title.
Sure. And if you lend me $100 and I refuse to pay it, you're out the money regardless of whether I'm living in a cardboard box or a mansion. But there's a case to be made that the law should allow you to collect your $100 in the latter case.

Obviously it's a lot more complex in the case of a PE firm buying a struggling business. But at a high level, if the company has $X in debts, it is worth $X more to someone who thinks it's possible to weasel out of paying that debt than it is to someone who doesn't. And finding novel ways to make a company more valuable than its current owners think it is is kind of the whole MO of private equity. That's what's going on here - PE firms are finding novel ways to weasel out of paying pension debt, and pocketing the difference. And what people are complaining about is that in this case, the person who's out the money is not able to collect from the courts, despite the entity who ought to be responsible for the debt living in a mansion and not a cardboard box.
One must not use probation as a get out of jail free card. We used to think the same way you do, we ultimately realised we were wrong.

Probation exists to be used only extreme circumstances, not as a catch all for "hey, sorry we made the wrong hire". It's more expensive to hire a candidate and kick them out on probation than to avoid making the wrong hire. This is another reason my approach works - we don't "milk" free labour, we don't need it. Our interview ensures we make the right hire first time, every time and part of that process is some "real" work.

Our interview process is awesome. Refined over a period of 10 years. Candidates learn something, we learn something, we collaborate with them. We often have candidates, even those who do not receive a job offer, compliment us on our process.

I'll write our interview process up one day and share it on HN so others can benefit.

I'm not American so I cannot personally vote in Arizona, but I think the problem in reality is quite a bit larger. It's not just the businesses of course but also local authorities who often will sideline the interests of their constituents if large, well financed tech companies promise jobs, innovation or just engage in plain old lobbying.

The same discussion seems to have happened around the Amazon HQ, with politicians essentially groveling in front of Amazon.

How much in the loop are those very people addressed in the article here really? Is their voice being heard? This is a lot more complicated than just pointing me to a voting website. Technology companies and authorities both seem to largely ignore seeking the genuine consent of the people who are at the receiving end of their experiments.
Interesting question that I don't know the answer for, how many of these concerns were similarly raised with the rise of the car or the train before it?
Framework agnostic is hard because building a complex UI toolkit always needs some underlying way of binding model control logic and rendering together.

That was funny. Thanks for that one.

If you're that totally helpless in a foreign country without your phone, you probably should go with a friend or local.

It's not the person who is helpless. It's being forced to rely on a single point of failure (the phone) that makes people helpless.

Also, there are literally millions solo travelers in the world. Telling someone they cannot travel unaccompanied makes no sense. The whole point of the map apps, the translation apps, the recommendation apps, etc... is to allow people to accomplish things without others.
Thurmont MD - I work with a small company in Shepherdstown, WV. It's about a 50 min drive, no traffic, country roads. I go in once a week, rest of the time is at home (farm). I've been fortunate the last 10 years that I've been able to find work close by. Before that it was commuting up and down 270, which has some of the worst traffic in the country.
I vaguely agree with that sentiment but I don't understand why you chose to bring it up in connection to a government employee not getting paid because of the government shutdown.

Unfortunately, there is a common misconception that Luddites were against technology. That's incorrect: they were skilled textile workers that used technology similar to any other skilled profession. From the first paragraph of the wiki page:

> The group was protesting the use of machinery in a "fraudulent and deceitful manner" to get around standard labour practices.

There is a lot of similarity with modern tech companies (Uber is the canonical example) working around labor in a way that concentrates wealth. As an early form of labor fighting back against capital abusing the amplifying effect of technology, I agree with the Luddites. Learn from them, or - as described in this article - we will see their violent methods again.

Humans can often learn new things from many fewer data points than current ML algorithms. Sometimes a single data point suffices.

Human statisticians can apply a variety of mathematical tools to fit different situations. ML systems tend to be more like one-trick ponies.
The way I "managed" it long-term was by creating a spreadsheet of all of the things I really want (like, spent years wanting) and their costs, adding them up, buffering it a little and saying "that's my target number, and I'm sticking to it." Last time I did this, I calculated that $5M is my number. This would generate about $200k/year with 4% return and withdrawal rate. Everything I do in my career is centered around getting to this number before I'm 45, so that I can decide whether I want to retire or not then. (I probably won't, but life isn't static.)

The way I manage it in the short-term is the two-week test. If I want a thing, and that thing is >10% of my remaining disposable income (which I budget every two weeks), I tell myself "if I still want this in two weeks, I will buy it or start saving for it then."

Example: I really wanted the custom truly-wireless IEMs that Bragi makes. However, they are $599; not a cheap purchase at about 50% my two-week disposable. Instead of buying them outright (I could, but that would affect disposable income for going out and stuff), I sat on it for several months while I tried other headphones. The urge to get them didn't go away, so I got them. What would have been an impulse purchase became a planned and extremely-worthwhile purchase.

My self-control isn't bulletproof, however. Our five-year old vacuum stopped working the other day. I tried repairing it several times, all to no avail. I got tired of having dirty carpet (our apartment is all carpet except for wet areas), so I went to Best Buy and got a new one. While I was there, I saw a Bissell Carpet Cleaner that looked really useful, as our carpets haven't been cleaned since we moved in three years ago. Both combined were about $500, but I impulse-bought it because dirty flooring drives me nuts. While I'm really happy with this purchase (there are few things more satisfying than seeing all of the gunk in your carpet vacuumed up), it was definitely impulsive, and my more responsible self should have waited on it.

I hope you'll find the materials helpful.

Here are some quick initial thoughts for your website:

After I scroll down, download your white paper and open it, I find the clearest statement of your value proposition under Mission Statement.

"To democratize Wall Street Investment Technology for mainstream investors and make it super-affordable. So that all mainstream investors can benefit, not just Wall Street Professionals."

That could be reformulated to be cleaner and better sounding copy and put on the home page, as that seems closer to your true value proposition than anything I can find on the home page. On the home page, you try and draw me in with a description focused more on the features of your product. You talk about a search engine and finding lower risk investments, etc.

However, your value proposition (put in informal, conversational form) seems to be something more like, "Hey, I worked at D.E. Shaw and Google. Want to buy the same tools that quantitative traders use to make better investments than the average person? I know the tools and will sell them to you." Now, this would need to be reformulated to make better copy, but you catch my drift.

Will pretty much everyone who lands on your site know Google? Yes. D.E. Shaw? Most won't know who or what D.E. Shaw is.

Here's a simple set of A/B experiments to start with: Come up with a more accurate statement of your value prop., and the story you want to tell on your home page, and run different versions to see which gets more traffic. It may be that more average joes know Goldman Sach's than know D.E. Shaw. So, on one version of the site you are testing, you can try potentially more recognizable Wall Street names like GS.
> As someone who didn't learn the very basics of personal finance at the optimal point in life, I feel like it should be part of our standardized education.

It's not limited to personal finance, although that's part of it). Our education system does a terrible job of teaching folks about what makes our society tick (social sciences are essentially ignored) and how people should strive to act in order to best cope with it (basically, adopt middle-class values to the best of your ability. Don't eat that marshmallow!), while wasting untold amounts of time and effort on ridiculous bells-and-whistles that nobody will ever have any use or even appreciation for (like, what did author X really mean when they used that particular simile at page <n> of work Y?) Keep it simple, FFS!
