While this is an approach you could take, it's not a very user friendly one. I agree with you that those HR policies sound draconian, but OP isn't necessarily in a position to challenge or change them.

In addition to being less user friendly, having the mindset that users/visitors to your website must live and work in ideal settings means that whatever you create will tend to be fragile and brittle because you don't try to take into account situations that you haven't seen before.
This isn't really a relevant response to the content of the article, in my view, so I downvoted.
We're talking about evidence in a discrimination court case that points to an IP address associated with a company that visited /family.htm around the time someone applied for a job they didn't get. Like, that person went through their blog's access.log when they got home, defeatedly looking up IP addresses, and going "aha, jackpot!"? And everyone in the company hovers links to be sure they don't go to /as-a-black-man.htm during the hiring process? And the fear seriously is that prefetching might be what spurs this chain of events?

That sounds batshit insane.
If you're the best engineer for a company who's bottom line is not direct sales of engineered products you are a middle tier or bottom tier engineer on the open market.

You're the best engineer willing to work in a black box, a niche, in isolation from your peers with constant pushback.
Meltdown for sure. Spectre not so much.

Note that 2+ decade old 200mhz pentium pro is very likely as vulnerable to spectre as the current generation. Frequency doesn't really factor in it.
What a weird post.

> The minor point I want to get across here is that if someone has Google (or any other ${BigTechCo}) on their résumé then it’s something to be interested in but you should also be asking about what led to that

I mean thats great a great goal for interviewers, but the idea that because google was on your resume that what came before must have been interesting seems...self aggrandizing? I'm not sure exactly, but it definitely doesn't follow. New grad hires alone throw a wrench in the works, but so does the Google interview reputation for caring less about the resume than coding questions.
This article is surprisingly aggressive considering it doesn't really say anything other than "tests as interviews can cause you to hire non-traditional pedigrees."

Also, some of the worst people I ever worked with came from Google. The process seems to filter for test-taking rather than pragmatism or work ethic. But that's a whole other issue.
Wrong. Cultural effects are very real, and they are exist independently of material incentives.
In the interim there is a solution for some users in the form of an extension - "RECAP" - for Chrome and Mozilla that adds to an archive every initial download of a docket or case file (accessed through PACER) [0]. Thereafter, users with the extension installed will be alerted as to whether the docket or file is available for free in the archive. Practically, this only helps to the extent that the RECAP extension is installed by users, primarily attorneys and support staff, and for dockets and case files that are generally sought out.

In passing, charging fees is clearly unfair given the role courts play in our society. At the state level, such as in New York state courts, filings are freely accessible.

While what you said is true, I think you will see that vigorous exercise plays a vital role in regulating body function and may allow him to sleep less.
Its not possible to build a technical system that those building it can not themselves subvert if they so choose.

The argument here isn't if he should have did it, he obviously shouldn't have. The argument is about how incredibly overdone the outrage over the specific circumstances is.
If Google, Apple, Facebook, Amazon and Microsoft all simultaneously stopped doing business in the EU, their competitors would have probably the biggest business opportunity in all of history.
Stretching and foam rolling have no recovery benefits and don't prevent injury, according to meta-analysis of the studies of them.

But, they probably also won't hurt you (possible exception for static stretching before exercising).

Agreed, my expectations are the opposite.

Google Analytics et al, allow custom events which are used to record mouse overs, clicks, et cetera on a majority of websites. I always just assume everything I do, down to page scrolls and mouse movements, is recorded.

The JPEG is most likely converted to WebP in-flight and so Chrome is actually receiving a WebP image. Perhaps it's being served by Cloudflare or another CDN that does image compression.
This reminds me why I stopped visiting HN. People down vote you for trying to help! Screw whoever asshole that downvoted me even though I prefixed my answer with “My GUESS is...”.
I think we can do our part to vote up the comments that are more supportive and change the norm.
Considering the current political and economic climate :
1- Pay back as much debt as you can: Signs point to the 'cheap money' party ending relatively soon and debt will start becoming considerably more expensive to carry.
2- Bitcoin. Yes, I said it. My 2 cents: Forgetting the debate on the currency aspect and its usability as such . A politically neutral store of value has a use case and there is a tremendous need for it going forward in this world. Bitcoin checks all the marks needed and has been around for more than 10 years now proving its use case.
What you have to ask your self at this point is the following :
What happens if it all goes down the gutter? Well you loose 1k.
What happens if it actually works out? 10-100x? Who knows, but such asymmetric value propositions present themselfs once or twice in a lifetime.
Educate your self and take action with the intention of being able to justify it to your future self in 10 years. Ultimatey that is whom you will have to answer to :)
Extracting Hidden Topics from Texts Using LDA Model
PACER's antiquated interface and dirty data have fueled a wildly profitable legal services industry.

The public deserves more than the base line of free access to court records. Give the public access to clean normalized case data like in LexisNexis and Westlaw's outrageously-priced products, including a full database dump for civic hackers to improve.

Aside: I worked on a product which relied on scraping PACER. A foolish integration test on our CI server once racked up a $50,000 PACER bill which we didn't notice until the end of the quarter.
1. There were plenty of screeching YIMBYs, particularly the ones who showed up at community board meetings.

2. The 1990s were literally decades ago

3. Sarah Roosevelt is across the Bowery + a block.

4. I sure hope they do a decent job on the green space that's left, it's the only reason I support the project

Also, this is 100 units. Again, I'm on-balance for the project but it's not really that impactful and it alters the neighborhood significantly.

My big gripe is the just that you can be YIMBY _and_ give a shit about neighborhood character. Pretending that ESG isn't a unique feature of the neighborhood is ridiculous. Nobody walks by that for the first time without going "wow, that's pretty neat." It's a bummer that we'll lose another piece of the city, even if it is, on balance, worth it.
It's doable, but I'd strive for at least 7 hours of sleep. I try to get 8 or 9, but so far that's been impossible, even with the time commitment; my mind rejects not having any free time, which is off the table if you work, live a fitness lifestyle, and sleep those hours. Exercise to me, is irrelevant and didn't factor into my sleep schedule (probably should, but doesn't). It's more about what I need in general. As you said, fit crazed people just push through, cause it's the only way to get everything they want.
I could not find the new recording, however, you can see the old video from KubeCon 2018 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PRGUOxL36M
Binance DEX Follows EOS Model for Selecting Validator Nodes
But again my whole point is that expected value is itself a very poor metric to use for this decision, precisely because a founder doesn't get many "swings at bat" like a VC does. Even in the case where the expected value is the same, the fact that the actual value leads to 0 for all but the very, very, very luckiest/skilled means you get St. Petersburg paradox-like results.
Interesting technology, your guys thoughts?
Plenty of countries have tax-shielded vehicles for small investments like this, which it would be handy to find out about. The UK "ISA", for example.
The attacks on PACER suffer from a few misconceptions:

1) That PACER charges for people to access "the law." As the article points out, "judicial opinions are free" on PACER. They're also typically published as PDFs on the courts' websites.

2) That the "costs of storing and transmitting data have plunged, approaching zero." That may be true, but the cost of maintaining and upgrading an electronic filing and access system have not approached zero. And there is no free off-the-shelf system that does what PACER does.

3) That PACER is meant for access to public records. PACER is a read-only view of the courts' filing system for lawyers and the court to use. Because lawyers use it, lawyers pay for it. (Individuals representing themselves pro se can use it for free.) It may indeed be desirable to make these legal filings publicly available through some system. But PACER is not that system.

The issue is not really that "PACER should be free," because it's quite reasonable to charge lawyers a fee for a service they use that's provided by the courts. What you really want is something like the various "Open Government" searchable data sites that are out there. PACER is not that system--it's not easy for the public to use, it's search features are primitive, there is no way to do bulk downloads, it's running on the same systems as mission-critical ECF filing functions, etc.
> Agree fully with Barton and OA here. Until recently I taught GCSE Maths re-take students aged 16 and over in a further education college. They were constantly tripping over really quite basic little skill issues and that prevented them from seeing how to tackle the longer and more complex problem solving questions.

I also agree fully. A little while back I did some support tutoring for A-level maths students. The number of students who turned up who mysteriously "had problems with longer questions"... I wish I'd known the example of calculating the perimeter of the rectangle with fractions. That would have really helped explain why the problem wasn't really the length of the question, it was the fact that the student had never properly learned the component skills separately.

Unfortunately, the problem of building impressive-looking edifices on shaky foundations is absolutely endemic in British high-school maths teaching. Thousands of students who never quite understood fractions are "learning" calculus through being taught recipes, and the easier exam questions are formulaic enough that they get through with Cs at least, without any mathematical understanding.

The A-level statistics modules, in particular, have very impressive _sounding_ syllabuses. Students learn T-tests, Chi-squared tests, all this sophisticated statistical machinery. If all these students really understood this stuff, Britain would have a vast army of highly trained statisticians. But nothing of the sort is true, of course: students are just learning a recipe for processing numbers. I can't imagine the carnage if a statistics exam asked the students to write an essay explaining the principle by which a T-test works.

Pardon my rant, this has been on my mind for a while.
You can generalize vector spaces to work over arbitrary rings (in which case it is a module). I did have to do a double take on that question, because in my mind when I see someone talking about a vector space over a ring, I just silently translate it to a module (because 90% of the time, the person just misspoke, 9% of the time, even if they meant vectorspace, the immediate follow up would be "no, but does your point still stand of we consider it a module?", and maybe 1% of the time they are actually being adversarial.
The companies are trying to shift blame to more than likely entirely technically illiterate customers. How hard would it have been to randomly generate passwords for each unit and have them attached to the door?
Funny story, my biggest career goal has always been to never have a career, haha!

>When you run a large platform like Reddit, millions of users are trusting you with some basic and fundamental extensions of speech.

Except that they let The_Donald and other rigid subreddits constantly ban people with opinions contrary to their group-think. Where is the speech protection there?

Let's also not forget spez and other moderators routinely get death threats. If you're going to be an asshole by saying "fuck spez" or throwing out a death threat, I'm pretty sure you give up whatever "basic and fundamental extension of speech" you think reddit guarantees you.
Ask HN: What are some good resources for learning about each stage of a startup?
I figured I'd ask here while I look on my own:

I began looking for media/articles/books that are about or have proven useful to people in different stages of a business: from idea conception, to seed, early venture, growth stage, etc. Even something like a parable or fiction book that helped to gain a different perspective.

I found this list:
Books for founders at each stage of a startup

1. Article: https://medium.com/@georgelovegrove/books-for-founders-at-each-stage-of-a-startup-424d5cb75473

2. Older HN Post with similar article title: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12898136

All suggestions would be greatly appreciated. If they could be tagged with what subject matter they refer to that would be very cool.

Thanks!
Oh interesting, I'll give this a go.
How to preserve nature on a tight budget
Not loading for me. I'm guessing it was overwhelmed by your comment?
I've been testing it for the past 30 minutes or so and found that it doesn't cause the same problems that InstantClick did. (Which was javascript errors that would randomly occur.) I'll limit it to a small subset of users to see if any errors are reported but there is a good chance this could go live for all logged in users. Maybe even all website visitors if all goes well.

Seems to have no impact on any javascript, including ads. Pages do load faster, and I can see the prefetch working.

Just make sure you apply the data-no-instant tag to your logout link, otherwise it'll logout on mouseover.
Personally I find understanding, or trying to understand, a very good mnemonic for remembering things.
Well, if I am not mistaken, REST is just the articulated concept on which HTTP was built. So yes, the HTTP spec (probably) existed before REST became a term itself, but in the end, there is no reason to argue if REST defines it or HTTP.
Just to add on this... for most investors, they provide some backbone and counterweight to market cycles. In terms of safety, they are a safer investment choice because they represent debt, not equity.

This is a good example, graphed: https://www.google.com/search?tbm=fin&q=MUTF:+VBMFX&stick=H4...

Bonds Summarized:

a) are less volatile compared to equities

b) provide consistent and guaranteed returns, albeit at a lower rate compared to equities

c) often work counter to market cycles: when interest rates rise, bonds fall in value, and when interest rates are cut, bonds rise. Depending on the depth of the fund, you may not see any changes at all.

Generally speaking, stocks almost always perform significantly better than bonds over long periods. If you can handle the risk, in theory 100% stocks is a better investment. Bonds provide the "don't freak out and sell" part of your portfolio.
I wasn't clear. I meant that we shouldn't take huge performance hits for having some security at the hardware level.
Lots of things aren’t allowed.
Yup, one of my favorite recent ones is machine hatred. I understand that experience has called into question certain machines, but so much of it seems to be based on nothing at all. As you said "everybody knows". eg. Everybody knows that if you ever use the smith machine, your entire body will instantly be destroyed. We just know this.
Near universal negativity is a good way to describe the current backdrop. The OP mentioned 5 years, which is the far short end of the timeframe that someone needs to be comfortable to hold before I suggest cryptocurrency as an "investment" to them.
If the triple is defined over the integers, why would you allow 1/3 as a scalar in the first place.

By this logic, should R not be a vector space, as it is not closed under scalar multiplication by i, or Q not be a vector space, as it is not closed under scalar multiplication by sqrt(2)?
I’m not going to give you financial advisor like advice, so be warned.

I think Apple is making the right move. They are responsible and accountable, and users don't understand how anything works. I'm reminded of the various browsers with toolbar addons bloating up the screen.
Sounds terrible: An automated analysis of an employee's behaviour linked to promotions and even terminations? Should be outright illegal.

The webbrowsing of other people is their private matter. If you think someone is surfing the web too much (or taking too many coffee breaks, or leaning on the shovel for a minute or any other normal activity people do to take little breaks from work), it's on leadership to tell the person to get back to work, or generally, create a work environment where work flows more naturally.

Logs are for investigations in case of crimes etc.

I read so many things here on HN that are illegal in Germany. We have laws and powerful worker representation that prevents dehumanitzing stuff like that but, often, things started in the US find their way over here....
Although I'm type 2 I just starting use a CGM (Lifestyle 14 day) and it's a revolution in data collection for me. I had no issue with finger sticks but you miss a lot of data. Now I get a full and complete set of blood sugar reading for a full 8 hours even if I don't scan the sensor.

It's really helping me decide how much medication I need and when it's most effective. And it's not economically difficult - if I finger stick 3 times a day then I need about 100 strips which costs me about $30. 2 14 day sensors covers a month which cost about $15 (insurance) and since I can read it with my iPhone the actual meter is optional.

I find the sensors read within 10% of a blood stick which is perfectly fine for me. I don't know if that's acceptable to Type I.

Nicely FreeStyle has an online website to access the data from the sensors and it has full download capabilities of the raw data so one can do all kinds of stuff with it.
> It's about the mathematical system you use as the foundation of your semantics.

I think you are conflating lexical scope with functional programming. Lexical scope applies even without functions, but functional programming requires functions. The difference between a scoped block and function is that functions have identity and the scoped block does not even though both benefit fully from lexical scope.

What makes a language functional is whether components are composable via function. That could mean several different things, such as: lexical scope, first class citizens, recursion by reference, callbacks, and so forth. A simple way to thinking about it is things are well separated, sometimes atomically and sometimes in a taxonomical fashion, but that separation has identity. That is very different than an OOP model where things are extended and put together and that togetherness or extension has no identity.
Assuming you use the script as suggested, letting a 3rd party site know your stats (and users) sounds like a non-trivial downside.

I'd surmise the author is benevolent, but if this were to be turned into a business, some kind of data play seems like the trivial next step.
Everyone does: it’s like having a good offense: you don’t need to think about defense if you’re constantly scoring goals. A lot of issues can be hidden by being really good at serving content and taking requests quickly.
The Limitations of Deep Learning for Vision and How We Might Fix Them
I don't think it's made up, because I experienced the same thing in a pretty well-known European research center...

Of course, had I known about these practices in advance, I would have declined the job offer. But I didn't. I ended up quitting a few weeks later anyway.

IT would monitor all connections from all employees and send a report to upper management with summary statistics, on a monthly basis.

I was told this was the case by a fellow worker during my second day there, so I tunneled my traffic through my home server via SSH. When IT asked me why I had zero HTTP requests, I reminded them that monitoring employees traffic was illegal under our current legislation. Doing this in a university-like non-profit research center is hard to justify.
> But part of the reason lisp code is so simple is that a lot of the heavy lifting is done behind the scenes.

Heck, HN is powered by Arc which is (last I checked) running on Racket (or any other Lisp engine)!
Reddit admins will indeed not sentence you to 20 years in a labor camp for disagreeing with them politically. But that's because they can't, not because they wouldn't.

Reddit would fit perfectly well into the Chinese internet. Just tweak the "permissible opinions" a bit and off you go, the rest can remain unchanged.
Google: News sites may lose 45% of traffic if EU passes its Copyright Reform
It's easy. The same 1% rule applies here, in the sense that most of your customers never have seen the sort of money that laundering would involve. But of course, banks are tripping over themselves to make their short list of richest customers happy, when these are the shortlist that need the most scrutiny. It's a case of perverse incentives.
Do this or I will (do something illegal)" is not ok. "Do this or I will (do something I have a legal right to do)" is ok. Perhaps unseemly, but contract law is based on people agreeing to do things or not do things.

AMI seems to believe publishing JB's dick pics is legal for journalistic reasons. Maybe he uses an iPhone instead of a Fire Phone? That's something people should know!
The answer is that no work in life is free.

Everything you pointed to is a transaction cost (or, equivalently, a limitation to reduce the number of actors to a manageable number). You're paying for the work to make that thing happen.

And, thank god, financial and medical industries are largely precluded from offering free services (a la Google) in exchange for selling every scrap of your data.
