i really can't tell if you are responding in some weird attempt at playing devils advocate (in some sad alt-right personality), but in case you are actually responding in good faith...

sadly it's impossible to be both "not racist, nor sexist" _and_ against "positive discrimination". not sure how much more simple i can make it for ya. sorry.

no one is angry because one person of color or woman is rejected from a position; it's not a simple first-order investment but rather a structural, generational change and people are mad because folks in power are not (occasionally, and thankfully increasingly less) acknowledging that. again i know it's almost certainly too complicated for someone who is pro-structural racism and misogyny to understand.

and, it's not possible to be "racist" in the way that racism is used in this structural way against white people. white men are sadly still in a position of structural power and as such you can't be racist against white people (especially white men). sorry for your lack of understanding here as well.
From the chart in my second link, 2016 immigrant population (good proxy for yearly immigration) was 13.5%. The highest it has been since 1900 is 14.7%. How is that a trickle?

For comparison, in 2010, China's population was 0.04% immigrant - 300-times less, per capita, than the US!

Edit: More international comparison: in 2015, India's population was 0.5% immigrant, Japan's 1.9%, Brazil's 0.9%, South Korea's 2.9%, Mexico's 0.9%, and Turkey's was 3.8%.
How about employment stability? Used to be more common that you'd work at the same job your whole career, be rewarded for your dedication and seniority. Now they don't give out promotions or raises, and lay you off at the first sign of trouble. Is it safe to buy a home if BigCo will lay you off in a year through no fault of your own?

With so many things tied to employment (health insurance especially), no wonder that people are worried about their futures.

I think things like "access to electricity" cause much less anxiety than the threat of instability. A lot of people are just a few missed paychecks away from literally losing their home (whether that is a house or an apartment).
Do you have a reference I could check out? My point was this is looking at sequencing all of the cell free DNA and seeing post hoc if any of that data is predictive of some cancer developing. There are a wide number of issues taking that approach including it not being viable at all. Still it is an interesting data set. And as you state there are other biomarkers that may be more useful that still fall under the category of a liquid biopsy.. what we really mean here is something non-invasive like a blood draw.

I was interested in the FP rate theoretically just cause it would be interesting to understanding the screening watchful waiting type approach vs what we have now.
It is possible for things to be better then 60 years ago while becomming progressively worst over last dozen or so years.

Racism or animosity toward whatever group is not constant. And also, we should not use worst periods as benchmark for "it is ok if it is not as bad".
Most were typed up, but the source files were on a floppy disk somewhere in my closet. I can scan them in/upload them when I get a chance.

The US population annual growth has barely broken 1% in the last 50 years. Social spending has increased at a greater rate.

Is the cloud necessary for the convenience though? That’s my hangup with so many of these devices. I don’t want the bulk of the data leaving the premises.

We would have to totally change the way devices are developed and marketed to actually keep data local but it seems technically possible.

Also, has a Ring doorbell somehow prevented a theft or just helped you know what happened?
yes, as a country we have to stop playing into the fear that is being peddled to us.

Terrorism is not about fostering abuse of constitutional rights and responsibilities, it is about fostering fear of our constitutional rights and responsibilities.
Just read through https://guides.rubyonrails.org/ Unlike the sibling comment I suggest staying away from additional gems as much as possible especially if you're a beginner. Do things the officially blessed Rails way and you will run into the least amount of problems. All gems that try to 'fix' something in Rails will often have downsides of their own and can cause hard to debug issues in corner cases.

Most robbers are probably not unethical enough to resort to killing pets in order to rob a house. Most robbers would probably rather just rob a house without dogs than one with dogs.

Dogs likely raise the barrier to entry for a robbery and criminals will usually just choose easier targets.
Moving from 1800-2000 must certainly be very different than 2400-2600, is it not? I assume the higher levels of play follow a bell curve with a long tail.

It seems within reason that one could move from 800 to 1000 in 16 days with very basic study and coaching.

> there is a lot of randomness especially when playing blitz and rapid chess

This is likely true, but this randomness appears to be averaged out by the sheer amount of games he played over the ~6 month period in the chart.
Then put your money towards improving them (or writing your own, if that's cheaper/better?), rather than feeding yet another proprietary hog.

By continuing to buy UE you're just digging yourself a deeper hole for when things inevitably turn sour (as they just did for Unity).
My hunch is that the only people buying into these obvious scams is other scammers. They look at it and think "hey, I bet a bunch of people will fall for this. I'll buy some first.".

But maybe I'm too naive =/.
People die of exposure in the US all the time. Starvation in the US is extremely rare, and basically only affects children and the elderly or people who can't feed themselves.
This seems to be a popular meme, especially on HN. RSS is not 'demised'. It's still used heavily for podcasts, wordpress (and many other blog sites) expose it, and there are countless mobile and desktop apps for fetching RSS and displaying them. RSS is alive and well, even if Google Reader is no longer a thing. Or is considering that RSS did not replace everything on the internet 'proof' that it is dying?
I used to believe this but it turns out that net benefits (by almost any measure) have increased continually:

The fact that so many people don't "feel" more secure from these very expensive investments may point to other structural problems.
Awesome, sounds like you're already well on the right track. Different things work for different people but keep on trucking and I think you'll get there.
If you were raised by a single father and/or you were a girl, do you think the same responsibility would have fallen to you?
Ask HN: How do you identify trends? Where do you look?
I'm no soothsayer, but I've been curious about staying up to date with trends among certain communities, such as: streetwear fashion, startups, college students, and technology (a random assortment of interests, I know).

I mostly use Reddit, Instagram, and HN to qualitatively look out for trends, but I am struggling with how to apply a more quantitative methodology to validate my own assumptions. I've used Google Trends, but am not sure what the best keywords are, and also don't know of better data sources than Google Trends to look. I've never been an analyst or marketer, so I'm inexperienced in this regard. I greatly appreciate any advice or suggestions.
That's exactly the scenario we'll see over the next ~20 years, as parts of Silicon Valley refuse to go along with the Pentagon.

The military industrial complex will put tens of billions of dollars into backing new start-ups that will cooperate over that time. Those companies will receive favoritism from the state over time, to Google's detriment. That will include technology transfer and regulatory favoritism (AI will be a regulated industry 10-15 years from now, and will be regulated forever thereafter). For every worker in Silicon Valley that refuses to do military work, the Pentagon will find 100 outside of Silicon Valley that are more than happy to do so. Numerous large companies up and down the tech chain will cooperate as well, including Microsoft, Amazon, Intel, IBM, Oracle, HP, Dell, Cisco, TI, Micron, nVidia, and dozens of others. The contracts they receive over time will be a lucrative part of their business (it already is in many cases).
Wouldn't that prevent you starting to learn anything?

I remember when I was about 9, reading that Mozart started composing at 7, and thinking it was too late. So I didn't compose much until in my mid-30s, and really wished I'd started when I was 9!

Anyway, when you play online, you don't play the best in the world. You play people about as good as you are. And it's super-easy to find them online. I mostly played on FICS, which is very friendly, and I played and chatted with people from (what must be) nearly every country in the world. Most people play for fun, not to be the best in the world.
> Who gets to make that determination?

We do. Because we can. That is how the world works. If you don't make the decision, it gets made for you in the other direction.

> Also please don't pretend any of the US military engagements since WW2 had any other purpose than serving national interest.

This is a pretty childish sentiment. Reasons for war are complex. The world is actually a complicated place, and admits multiple concurrent motivations.
Context though is the missing piece to all of those, all languages, particularly english however is context driven.
It's not an argument, it's a question. I'll rephrase to make it clear, sorry if it was not that clear.

"If systemd is worse than other options, why is it so widely adopted?"

And by widely I mean most popular distributions adopted it, so more than a half of installations use it. More like 3/4 or so. IDK how heroin addicts answer this question. You kind of ask me "If heroine is worse than other options, why is it so widely adopted?". My answer is - heroine is not widely adopted in the first place.
If the mass can side with you, you can fight with donations to represent them all.
>Does it look like a news site, or does it look like a tabloid?

I think you've just demonstrated why many people believe fake news. A lot of them are set up to look like regular news sites.

Fake news sites have been around for a lot longer than people think. I remember quite a few years ago reading an article about an event where some minority Christians were being mistreated in some non-Christian country. It looked like any other news article. The incident in question was reported in multiple news sites.

Then one person (or a team?) exposed it all. The event never happened. It was not obvious, and he/they had to do a lot of sleuthing to find out who owned the sites - a Christian advocacy group. All the other sites reporting on the incident were likewise (perhaps all under the same company - can't remember).

Years before 2016.

The only thing that may have clued me into it being fake news was that I hadn't heard of the news site. But then again, most people have not heard of most news sites.

Don't look at style or appearances. Really. Don't.

Oh, and as bad as The Daily Mail is, it is full of accurate (albeit misleading) material - compared to a typical tabloid in the US. I can easily dismiss nonsense I see on tabloids in the grocery store. With The Daily Mail, I have to work to find out if it is true or not.

>I don't consider national defense to be an immoral goal

My personal opinion is that what the United States has been doing for over 20 years has not been national defense
Every country has had communism that I say has had communism.
nihilism and existentialism helped me overcome quite a lot. things like Thomas Ligotti's "The Conspiracy Against the Human Race", and Emil Cioran's "The trouble with being born" have opened my eyes to a new way of thinking that doesn't revolve around societies fetishism of positivity & optimism.
Ask HN: How does your company organize your slack channels?
More and more collaboration is being put into Slack, but as orgs grow, it seems unnecessarily hard to find the right people or the right place to talk. Additionally, the amount of workflows pumped into Slack in a unorganized, unstructured manor seems absurd. It's impossible to find knowledge in Slack. How do you organize your slack channels to be able to make use of the knowledge being shared later on?
> Unfortunately, the divide between Silicon Valley and the Pentagon will be bad for national security in the long run

I work for Google, opinions are my own.

I agree. However I think in the case of Google and most other companies, the issue is a little more.. awkward? Besides the fact we have offices in other countries, we also employ many people in the US from other countries. Obviously those people may have very different feelings about working on a project for US national security. I don't think I've been on a single team at Google which did not have people from abroad.
I think what you are saying about the data is misleading. Look at the chart.

The reason the poverty rate had a three year drop was because it was at at 10 year high around 15% starting around 2010, and only recently started dropping significantly.

The "50 year low" is very misleading. If you actually look at the graph, the poverty in 1970 was 12.6%, and in 2017 12.3%. That's not a "50 year low", that's 50 years of essentially no progress on the poverty rate, especially when ten years ago it was higher.

If you look at the people falling below 50% of the poverty line (deep poverty), that's had it's ups and downs too, but has had an overall slow increase of rate over the same time frame.

> But now he presents himself as some kind of social crusader, out to protect the world.

So many tech CEOs do this. It's a cop-out method of rebranding one's image. In reality though, it says more about the public at large for believing into marketing and PR.

Hi, I'm the author of this blog post _and_ the author of this repository - so happy to hear you're finding it useful! I agree that the grpc-gateway is very useful still, but for greenfield projects I think it would be useful to consider the grpc-web on its own merits. I see the grpc-gateway as a way to integrate gRPC into existing environments.

Down vote favorite Tips for using vim over a slow connection?
Ya the funny thing is that I've tried to be a vegetarian as much as possible over 15 years with a 5 year break in the middle. The very best post-workout meal I ever found is a large burrito made of something like:

* 1 can of pinquitos or pinto beans

* 1 can of garbanzo beans (optional)

* 2-3 flour tortillas

* 1/2 onion

* 1/2 green pepper

* cheddar cheese

* 1/2 avocado or about a dozen black olives

* salsa

* lettuce (optional)

Then eat it in a giant bowl with 8-16 oz of milk.

This all worked great until the last year or so as I've developed some leaky gut issues due to a sensitivity to peanuts after living on PB&J sandwiches for a year after the housing crash. I think the sensitivity may have transferred to beans recently, causing a legume/nightshade sensitivity to my gut flora or intestinal lining. Could just be due to middle age though.

Anyway, I switched to almond butter, laid off the beans for a couple of months, ate L-glutamine and licorice root capsules, and am 85% back to normal. No acne but some digestive issues still.

A vegetarian diet helps you pack on pounds like a gorilla, but can make it tricky to get the "dry" look of classic bodybuilders from the 70s that ate 1-2 pounds of beef per day and did steroids. Also I know very few vegetarians that made it longer than about 3 years. It's doable but takes discipline to eat enough variety and get enough micro nutrients. Inflammation is a big problem with legumes, but it's also a problem with high animal protein diets. Like anything, balance is best, but for ethical reasons I prefer to eat as little meat as possible. Hope this helps someone.

Why is network security not important to your camera? Even without a server on premise you still don’t want random people on the internet to look up your webcam, right? So network security is important to all networks.
While it works.
Mostly, I think we worry too much.

From this (and I agree with what is quoted below, as I'm in that group of folks who studied one thing and am now performing a different job):

https://www.delltechnologies.com/content/dam/delltechnologie...

Not only will workers have many jobs, the tasks and duties of the jobs they’ll perform will be markedly different from what they studied. The experts that attended the IFTF workshop in March 2017 estimated that around 85% of the jobs that today’s learners will be doing in 2030 haven’t been invented yet. This makes the famous prediction that 65% of grade school kids from 1999 will end up in jobs that haven’t yet been created seem conservative in comparison.

So true. Best was ActiveRecord, the most cumbersome ORM I have ever met, it could create 20 SQL requests out of a simple query.

There must be a reason that Ruby dropped few places on Github's Octoverse 2018.

While I was never against Ruby, every time has its tools, it was the culture of the Ruby community which I didn't like. Being a Rubyist was always a good excuse to not help on the frontend or help with some devops.

Now they escape into Elixir which is the next good academic excuse to not help with the frontend because React is so working class...

This isn't someone hiding on TOR. This is someone on an easily traceable, publicly available site who could be tracked down and squeezed to find the source (and hopefully find and rescue the children).
Jeremy, if you're up for it, could you talk any more about your explorations of Julia?

I see (and agree with) your point about worse non-numeric stuff, but if you stand back and squint I get the impression Julia does most of what you applaud here, with the added benefits of a more transparent compiler and a more numeric-focused community (no need for BasicMath there!).

In particular, Flux.jl seems like a fairly direct competitor of S4TF, and this blogpost [0] really blew me away.

I was born in 1990, to a single mother whose most profitable year was thirty eight thousand dollars. When I was 14 I got a job at Subway to help contribute to family money. I worked the maximum amount of hours the state would allow.When everyone is struggling to get by, you can't say "This isn't fair and I'm not going to do it", you just kind of do it.

I think the issue is cascading. If families had greater resources for support, their stressors wouldn't trickle down to their children. I think this problem exist in "full" families but is much more exacerbated in single parent settings.

In a previous position, our slack was organized by project channels.

In another position, it was organized by teams and sub-teams when relevant.

But in both cases, knowledge was stored somewhere else - like a wiki, or knowledge base. Slack was always used for immediate concerns.
I stopped using Bing to search for porn specifically because the recommendations were creeping me the fuck out.

I remember searching for something like "Blowjob Cumshot", and that recommendation bar started giving me options for "Preteen Blowjob Cumshot", "Middle School Blowjob Cumshot", and "Little Girl Blowjob Cumshot".

All of the thumbnails for these buttons were clearly lolicon/hentai, but it blew my mind that Bing was actually suggesting these search terms as alternatives to mine...

This was years ago, so it blows my mind that this is still a fucking problem...
