I'm assuming the candidates prefer issues they can relate towards and they typically have the funds for good attorneys. The public that hasn't been effected by false incarceration may have the belief it won't happen to myself and the issue doesn't resonate necessarily like other issues of employment & taxes.
This is a technical article, as far as The Atlantic goes, and its focus is not political. It's an interesting introduction to black vernacular English for the uninitiated.
That seems correct. I have never understood the propose of such speculative chatting.

Maybe the conversion was not about achieving or improving a task, but idle talk for social purposes?
Yes, usb-c probably thunderbolt. Checked my dell external monitor, folks say they have a small lag. Don’t notice any difference between it and laptop monitor.
Probably some will benefit but most people will have difficulty rectifying issues that aren't in their favor. Look at how difficult it can be to reopen a wrongfully closed PayPal account or just to get an explanation.

Many Amlogic boards are on fully upstream Linux, see http://linux-meson.com

I'd recommend Armbian, a nice distro for ARM SBC's: https://www.armbian.com/

Of course, as with everything in ARM-linux land, GPU drivers are still a WIP. For headless use, it works well though.
Sidecar files for storing file tags make querying the tag system a huge chore; it totally kills performance. I understand the conceptual appeal but it's just not the way to go.

Ask HN: What are some ways one can find freelance projects in web development?
I am early in my web development career, I have been learning to code and doing side projects for the last two years, now I am ready to take on freelance projects professionally but don't know where to start, I have made a comment on 'Seeking freelancer' post on HN, talked to a few people on Twitter but couldn't get a project to take on yet. Any tips/recommendations are appreciated
Because the inevitable outcome is less stability and more expense. The arms race will resume. Europe is less safe.

If there's no treaty, it's not cheating, and there's nothing to negotiate. If it's cheating, there's a point of negotiating. Putin has a long history of criticizing Gorbechev's legacies, the treaties, perestroika, he laments the end of the USSR and the loss of its various fiefdom republics.

And on the U.S. side, is John Bolton, who doesn't believe in having a U.N., is anti-EU, promoted Brexit, doesn't believe in arms control treaties of any kind, was a central cause of the U.S. unilaterally withdrawing from the Iran JCPA treaty, and also pushed North Korea to withdraw from the NPT, which they did, and it makes their entire nuclear program completely legal, and was a principle architect and chickenhawk of the U.S. invasion of Iraq. And to this day says that was not a mistake, it was good and appropriate.
Look for where their funding comes from. Puppet organizations will often lead you back to U.S. state-funded organizations like the NED or BBG or billionaire-funded NGOs
Right now the big guys can put the blame on their underlings but blaming it on machines will be even better.
I worked on card transaction data (from Mastercard) in streaming 5 years ago. It's as shitty and invasive as a group of soulless bank BI can make it. Their detachment from the human damage they were creating and the way they basked in their own smartness was scary and disgusting.
Respectful Windows apps should drop their leftovers under %UserProfile%\Application Data or %UserProfile%\Local Settings\Application Data.
> Sign Language gloves are an interesting idea, but they don't work. Sign language relies heavily on facial expressions and body language beyond the hands.

For clarity, could you give an example of a sign that changes to mean a different word or phrase depending on facial expression?

> But deaf people aren't actually that keen on these solutions

People often aren't keen on solutions that are either still nascent or that they haven't given a chance yet. My mom wasn't keen on navigating with a GPS until she had one in her car and it changed her life. Not being keen is not on its own a great reason to dismiss a technology. The reason matters.

IMO a more meaningful statement might be to say that the obvious alternative is simply a small keyboard, which already exists.
No, but I am saying that I don’t need any executive “vision” to motivate my work, especially when the executive vision is obviously insipid, like it was with Vic Gundotra and G+. It is motivating enough for me if search gets 10% faster every year. If you hook your motivations to corporate figureheads then you’ll eventually find yourself without any reason to go to work.

I don't see anything on that page about encryption. Are you talking about something to do with VPNs or with WiFi encryption?
>"... are BCG, Bain, the consulting arms of the Big 4 any more ethical in what they will or won't do for a paying client?

Your comment is little more than "whataboutism." The post is commentary on the nytimes story about how the Massachusetts Attorney General suing McKinsey and specific instances of McKinsey targeting a doctor's practice in their state. So yes there is good reason to single out McKinsey here as they are the defendant in a lawsuit.

>"are these articles focused on McKinsey because they are the most schadenfreude-inducing among big management consulting firms (akin to the media outrage directed at Facebook)?"

This is just an ad-hominem. Informing the public and reporting on issues affecting their society and community is exactly the role of journalism.

Man. So many memories of walking around the school with a cable tester trying to find where the ring had been broken this time.

I was so glad to see that ring network be retired.
The article says the standard is to put data in ~/.local/share/

So I guess if any of your applications have important data, you better back it up! (I learned today)
This kind of books go through different channels than the ones that are followed by the engineers. Engineers pick up this stuff when it ends up in the mainstream but they don't really participate that much in the tech critique world.
i wonder how about if defense is to be treated equally, i.e. say have half the law enforcement budget allocated for the defense.
To this point, there is great photography from mid 2000s camera phones (crappy noisy VGA sensors). See for instance Robert Clark's work:

Shouldn't that be enough? The authors use more descriptive words to describe the circumstance, which creates better understanding. They could use, say, "humans", but not everyone uses their product and that would be a wasted opportunity for better language.
I,OTOH, which I had had my 23&me results years ago since what they tell me now might have prevented a costly experience back then. I totally get the "health privacy" issue, what with Google looming in the background along many dimensions, but for me, that was not a big issue. I also think that there is an aspect of 23&me that is being ignored in the NYTimes piece, the social network growing around real phenotypes in the context of genotypes.
I think it’s clear from the article that the author is does not intend to mean that everyone who speaks Black English also has a command of standard English. It seems to me he was saying that standard English should be taught in schools despite Black English being prominent in some districts.

It’s widely recognized that people sometimes prefer to speak in their native tongue for purposes of being accurate. Hence sometimes bilingual Spanish speakers will testify in Spanish despite knowing English. The overarching point of the article is that a person’s native tongue ought not influence whether or not they are deemed guilty. Do you disagree with this point?
Hi neilsimp1 You should defo update if you have 8 mb or more flash There has bin changes to all the things you menciond.
Your program is installed in /usr/bin—you can't write to that directory (nor should you).
But how fungible are the categories applied to a given cost source? Suppose a company finds a way to target customers in a way they predict is likely to outperform the actuarial models using “expensive ad tech”. They can shave off some of the claim cost, but avoid underwriting profitably by inflating the cost of customer acquisition (including big bonuses for their “industry leading” customer acquisition performance ...)

To me some variation on this kind of scheme seems likely to be common - am I wrong headed to think these kinds of tricks occur often?

Those are the factors which make Nat Geo photos look like they do.

The glass absolutely limits potential and conversely good lenses can claw back a bit from disadvantage in the other aspects.

Ask yourself how many Nat Geo photos were taken with a $100 Yongnuo 85mm lens versus a $15,000 Canon 200-400.

"^W" is this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/End-of-Transmission-Block_char...

In Unix line editors it is traditionally used to mean 'erase the previous word'.

This is a topic that is often debated. Consumer has become the more generic term, particularly when speaking about the economy and about legal rights of people. Though it has the negative connotation from "consumerism" which is why the word is controversial and not considered polite.

In this particular case, there are two ways to read the statement from 23andMe. You could interpret "consumers" as the people who have actually bought a product from 23andMe. Or, you could interpret it as the overall population of people who have health information and may buy the product. With the first interpretation, I think "customers" would definitely be the better word and would fit with typical business etiquette. Though I think the second interpretation is what 23andMe actually meant, in which case "consumers" or "people" would be more appropriate. If I had written the 23andMe blog post, I would have used "people".

Comparing the google search results for "empower consumers" and "empower people" is quite interesting.

Lenovo is a manufacturer that shipped spyware to the users. No thanks, I’d rather do business with Apple. To be fair to Apple, when their devices work, they usually work fine. The issues that they don’t resolve are engineering defects that are present across the entire fleet. One-off issues they are mostly good with and the warranty experience overall is better than any other brand I worked with. That said, I believe Apple Retail leadership is bankrupt and the Apple Store experience has gone to shit. It feels like Nordstrom not Apple.

She sure is, but plenty of young women receiving these vaccines are not.
Without assigning labels, what about their advice falls short in your opinion?

The article uses the term “black English” (I might otherwise use the term “slang”) and I think the advice “don’t speak slang to people who, so that you might more likely achieve your own objectives, you ought to be showing utmost respect” is pretty solid.
the comment i was responding to made a similar claim (except about young people). im just showing them how that thinking can be used
So I'm a relatively old guy dev/architect, and I've definitely been frustrated by the age issues.

But it really comes down to "good enough". Companies have some pre-determined pay scale for a new position, and more experienced applicants typically want more pay. Given two candidates, both who look like they might be able to do the job, companies may choose the less experienced (cheaper).

While the younger candidate may provide less overall to the company, the difference may be not only difficult to judge, but it may be impossible to test given that you cannot try both options.

And in terms of design, I would argue that humans are so varied that often even really horrid designs attract business. That's not to say that younger designers make worse designs, but that sometimes practically anything would work; it just might bring in a different audience. The result could be the same in terms of bottom line.

What I've decided at this point in my life is that we older people need to either go build our own companies/opportunities, or just roll with whatever job and find our personal satisfaction outside the office. Or just travel a lot to lower cost countries, work a lot less, and have a lot of fun :).

How can the article be described as political? What was political about it? It’s safe to say the article is not political because it doesn’t discuss politics or advocate for a political position. That you think it is political says much about you.
It's an article about a systemic bias. I think a lot of tech people are interested in this sort of thing, because so much of tech involves interpreting one thing and moving it to another. Take images and making descriptions; taking text and making decisions; speech to text; translation; medical charting; anything where you have messy data and need to get it down in some sort of canonical format.

That's what court stenographers do, and it turns out they have a systemic bias. It's only "politics" when that systemic bias is racial- what if they were biased about computer technicalities, and wrote down the wrong things about, I don't know, IP addresses or computer forensics and that ended up screwing over people at trial. That would be a similar sort of systemic bias and nobody would be calling it "politics".

How many times have you accidentally used technical terms and jargon and been misunderstood? Now imagine it's in a court case and there's someone in the corner taking notes and they miswrite something crucial and you only learn about it much later when it's too late and part of the official record. Now imagine this is pervasive and means that accused "hackers" are being convicted based on shoddy court records.

This makes me kinda regret buying a different laptop. The iPad pro is perfect except for the following reasons:

* It doesn't sit well in your lap. So if you don't have a table and you want to type that's annoying

* It's not a great environement to code and run tools

I wish it could fix these issues, but in truth I'm wondering if it could without becoming a laptop.
I don't expect my package manager to require uBlock Origin. I actually caught it with my firewall, which was an unpleasant surprise.
Expect to lose a lot of money in the process then. Your competition has all of the above, plus they're already aware of a bunch of ways trades can go south, of what sort of information you need to have a leg up on the competition, of what it takes to get that information, and of how quickly you need to act on it before others get it (which, BTW, is often measured in microseconds these days).

If you're really serious about this, I'd recommend starting with play money (or none at all - use a fantasy portfolio), and then actively trading like you're doing your best to make money. Do this for a while - at least 6 months to a year, and ideally through a down market - and benchmark your portfolio results to the overall market performance (say, an S&P 500 index fund). A lot of people look at the absolute dollar value of their returns, say "I made $10K trading stocks, woohoo!", and don't realize that if they'd just put that money in an index fund they would've made $25K for a lot less work. Also remember that there's a large random component to stock prices - just because some of your stocks made money doesn't mean you can double down on what you did with them, because those stocks might just happen to be the ones that went up randomly. You need to track your personal returns with them against how the stock did by itself, i.e. what you would've made if you had just bought and held it, and see whether your entry and exit points really made sense.
I have a slightly different pet peeve. I don't like applications that default to saving files to my home folder. I wish they would look for e.g. /home/user/Documents or whatever else seems appropriate and even semi-standardized given the type of file.

But just dropping stuff in my home directory--look, if I'm in a hurry and my defenses are down, you basically just encouraged me to clutter things up.

The last software I found that does this is a "download helper"...even though I have a Downloads folder that my distro already set up, that Chrome and Firefox know to use, this download helper thinks I want those downloads dumped in my home folder. I hope some generous person changes this behavior, meanwhile I forgot to charge it manually for the last batch and I have a bunch of cleanup to do.
Firstly, consider that the people in corporations who decide what other people are worth are usually very ill-equipped to judge technology candidates' values.

And secondly, they often just care about getting the thing done. Your potential value in other areas matters much less in the now, and unfortunately "the now" is primarily what modern companies are focused on.
I've been doing movie editing for more than a decade and doing it on the iPad seems like such a smooth experience. I just want to edit that timeline with my fingers. Note that I haven't tried it byt this is my intuition.
What is the restorative justice solution for murder, rape, or battery causing permanent physical harm?

I agree our justice system is somewhat out of hand, but I also believe that there is a (tiny) sliver of the human population who need to be removed from walking the streets freely.
I can't speak for throwawaymath, but the people I knew who went there generally were academics who had already done great things or from whom great things were expected. I don't have much use for the term genius, unless we're talking about Grothendieck or Witten. But yes, we're talking about people who stood out among the crowds of extraordinarily smart people in top tier academia, and who'd actually managed to _do something_ with their intelligence.

I think it's fair to say they were generally recruited via social networks. They knew what RenTec was, they knew someone who worked there (maybe an old grad school colleague or a former student), and when they reached out, RenTec already knew who they were. I don't know of anyone who went there who didn't already have a reputation in academia.

So contrary to astazangasta's original claims, they do seem to me to have something of a monopoly on brains. There are other smart people at other firms, but I don't know of any other place that has such a concentration. (Aside from Jeff Dean's office, I suppose. ;)
Hungary is part of the EU, can't you order from germany or austria where it's 170€?
I posed the following to @Dang a few days ago with respect to what one would possibly think is, at minimum, as responsibility of YC (and the greater VC/SV population) to acknowledge -- though I don't see this happening any time soon:

----

[How can we] Find a way to have a serious objective talk with the greater community on the extraordinarily global reaching issues of the impact of Silicon Valley on society, community, culture as a whole.

Look at what we have to just emerge in the last 1.5 decades alone from "unicorns" in silicon valley:

* US policy seemingly being set/disrupted via twitter

* Mental health studies coming out on the negative impact of Facebook

* Election manipulation through ad-powered platforms such as Google and FB

* Massive cultural dialogue and political revolutions being fueled through twitter

* Assassinations being corroborated through Apple an watch

* Global spying and surveillance conducted through all our connected technology

Just to name a few of the globally impactful issues of our day which directly stem from the efforts of Silicon Valley in specific and the tech industry in general.

As the preeminent VC company in the minds of any young entrepreneur who wants to build the Next Big Thing, I would pose that YC actually has a social responsibility to, at a minimum, foster a conversation on these issues in a meaningful, serious and deep manner.

What are the consequences of MASSIVE success of a company?
