"Would you use the same superiority argument on white people?"

Are you meaning to imply that the previous poster argued for Jewish superiority? I don't see that. They mentioned a hypothetical argument as a counterexample to disprove any notion that these observations are intrinsically anti-semitic.
How? The answer is "Nohavica's theory of alcoholic mountain". As you drink, you are climbing your alcoholic mountain. While you're climbing, everything is fine. You can even turn around and go back. But when you reach the summit and step over it, you are done. Nobody will help you. No doctors, no therapy, friends or medicine. Nobody. Then you die. Now you say "but my uncle was drinking whole life and he was fine". Sure, because his mountain was very tall. Nobody knows how tall is his mountain.

This Russian scientist had very tall radiation mountain. You try doing the same and you will die.

"#10 Recruiting: Gets involved with the recruiting process, such as outreach, screening, and interviews. Gives referrals to potential hires. Takes an active interest in new hires and onboarding. Is part of screening calls, interviews and code tests."

I can get behind taking an interest in new hires and helping out with the screening/interview process, but outreach?

No, that's the job that recruiters are paid to do.
Union Sq is right next to the worst neighborhood in SF, so not surprising. But overall, people tend to forget how life was prior to the boom. Oakland was facing homicide epidemic. East Palo Alto was gang central. Redwood City was sketchy as hell. Dublin was a blue collar town. Now crime has virtually disappeared from the stretch of land between SF and San Jose
Not paying dividends is not a way to get +3% growth. You (ideally) pay dividends when you cannot grow by using the money. Berkshire grows a lot more than +3%, and it's structural: he invests the money that other people are paying him to hold via the insurance companies. Not paying a dividend has nothing to do with the growth.

Maybe, just maybe, these radicals would have less support in their home countries now if the US hadn't marched into their home countries and occupied them. That antagonized a lot of people. But that is not what happened.
I do. Many languages have excellent support for both OOP and FP. I think Swift is currently the best-designed general-purpose language and wish that it would improve in areas where Julia is better, e.g. standard library and available packages or REPL.
That’s not true. Examiners are in a GS scale, with overtime pay and a small bonus, none of which are based on how many patents they approve.

This would only apply to MS patents used by github right?

That is, if MS had a patent on, say, making a bird whistle, just uploading a program to GitHub wouldn't give you a license to it. While if MS had a patent on, say, putting line numbers when displaying source code, anybody who uploaded a program to GH that did so would be able to use the technique in the patent?
As a counterexample, look at the cost of socialized healthcare in Europe vs the privately managed one in the US.

I have to deal with exactly this issue at work on a project that emulates spreadsheet behavior for number formatting. I learned immediately that you have to format on blur, because anything you do to the input value while the user is typing will move their cursor to the end of the input, and no amount of clever prediction will put it back in the right place in all cases. Always format on blur unless you want your users to hate your app.
The fact it is sitting at [dead] has nothing to do with my comment and the length of her time here on HN bears no relevance to this discussion. I fail to see why you can latch onto that fallacy and try to beat me with it as if it is my fault that her comment has been flagged. If it helps you sleep at night I have vouched for her comment as I don't think it should be flagged.

If you would take the time to re-read my original comment, which was replying to a comment which has since been edited to be a bit more explicit about it's message, you would find that I'm simply questioning first what anti-vax groups have to do with the original post (or really her original comment at all) because vaxxines have nothing to do with her apparent on-base drinkwater poisoning, and also why her journey should make us feel bad about them being demonetized.

Nobody is labelling her as "other" and moving on. I would say that you are pretty quick to judge my comment and to lambaste me for the ills you perceive, which is a bit ironic given the content of your message.

Just attended ClojureD in Berlin today. Never saw so many Clojure people in one place.

Woah moment: Question to the audience was “who is using Clojure at work?” almost all hands went up immediately. Couldn’t believe my eyes.

Great talks from thoughtful to inspiring, super nice speakers, organizers, sponsors and audience. Reminded me of the openness & enthusiasm of the Ruby community many years ago.

Many talks had references to talks or concepts by Rich Hickey (& the sources he points to). The atmosphere was a melange of academic research & insight combined with hacker/maker spirit. The joy of building cool stuff.

If you are dabbling in Clojure or are just intrigued by it (e.g. through talks you’ve seen or things you’ve read):

See if you can make it to one of the Clojure conferences (big or micro) or whether there is a local group nearby (meetups, Clojure Bridge, …).

People will be enthusiastic to meet you. Newbies more than welcome.

There is also a slack (https://clojurians.slack.com), a discord (https://discordapp.com/invite/v9QMy9D), a forum (https://clojureverse.org/) and a subreddit (https://www.reddit.com/r/Clojure) where you can drop by.
You've descended straight to namecalling (in the abstract, I hasten to add - your counterargument is similar to mine). I don't think your counterargument is nearly as respectful - it's outright ad hominem.

It was enlightening to learn the subtleties of segregation at the time, from black people in the period. It might not change your mind, but it would lead you to be less hasty to descend to namecalling, not least because you'd learn who you risk calling ignorant racist shitheads.

I don't argue that R is not insane ;-)

As for (a bunch of) functions in the basic library (which, essentially, is a set of packages that you can discard or simply not use), I dare say it has little to do with the language itself. I don't like Python's regular expressions library, for example, but it's only a set of functions (or methods) that you can write on your own!
The same goes for R's data-wrangling routines; there's this tidyverse, and you can write good, reliable, production-grade code without using a single function from the base library. Heck, you can even write your own DSL (think: Grammar of Graphics) if you think it could improve your code!

There are several quirks built so deeply into the core of the language that you cannot overcome them ("why can't I overload `+` for character strings??"), but they have nothing to do with the rather poor and unintuitive basic library.
It doesn't have interfaces for example. It doesn't have access modifiers. Also, not sure if this belongs to OOP but working with optionals is cumbersome.

Some stats on how bad homelessness is (or was recently -- post is from May 2018) in California:

https://streetlifesolutions.blogspot.com/2018/05/california-...

Some of them have been deported from other states (thanks Las Vegas!), some of them still have a very romanticized view of San Francisco

From what I gather, both of these statements are true. But it is also my understanding that our best data suggests that only about 10 percent of homeless come from elsewhere. The vast majority supposedly wind up living on the street in whatever place they last had housing in.

I'm not sure how reliable such data is. I suspect data on homeless folks is somewhat hand-wavy.
I'm interested in this topic because my father was a German citizen when I was born, which entitles me to German citizenship. (I've lived in the US all my life.)

Over half of German GDP stems from exports, which is a huge fraction and which is only possible because of the Eurozone and because of the Bretton Woods system. The Bretton Woods system was created by the US to help fight the Cold War by encouraging free trade and the US particularly since the election of Trump is not interested in supporting the system anymore. The Eurozone and the European Central Bank's monetary policy have been preventing the economies of the countries on the periphery of Europe from developing, and those countries will either withdraw from the Eurozone or at least force changes to monetary policy that will be detrimental to Germany's exports.

So it looks like Germany's exports will fall, maybe drastically. Taxes on the profit that German companies make on these exports is how Germany pays for its social programs.

When the economy gets bad in Germany, young Germans cannot find jobs. (France is the same way.) This youth unemployment has gotten so bad once or twice during the postwar period that people start worrying about riots and other kinds of social upheaval, which makes things bad for everyone, not just people needing to find a job. Youth unemployment never gets that bad in the US.

I don't see any challenges to the US similar to those 2 challenges facing Germany.

Although I concede that I probably would have been better off if I had moved to Germany 30 years ago in my 20s, let's see if you still think Germany is markedly better than the US in 15 years.
i still don't understand the force of the criticism? what is the danger in reading a "bad" paper in our domain?

the person i was responding to

>but one should always be careful with non-peer reviewed research.

what do i need to be careful about? developing the wrong intuition?
This.

Also it's hard to define "too much government."

Too many/too steep of taxes?

Too many Government employees?

Too much regulation of industry?

There's definitely some correlation, but I don't think these are strictly coupled.

It would be possible to have France-like tax rates but not employ many government workers by paying private industry to handle tasks like health and education.

I'm of the belief that practices like this might be part of the reason the US has so many healthcare inefficiencies though. Corporations are solely focused on making profit and there just isn't enough competition in areas like telecom, healthcare, etc. to keep prices down.

I'm Canadian and our healthcare isn't perfect, but it's also not the kind of political talking point it is in the US for a reason.

Yep - I actually use strategy this and type="date" both depending on what the precision requirements are =)

I've always seen the "three-field" old-school method as the most bullet-proof approach for this. Plus, validation becomes super easy since you're just doing simple integers w/ranges.

Camp Lejeune is more known for cheap dry cleaners using PERC and dumping it rather than perfluorinated contaminants https://psmag.com/environment/what-happened-at-camp-lejeune. https://www.popsci.com/dry-cleaning-chemicals points out newer water-detergent machines, but states they cost $40~80k. Best cheap solution has been to use hydrocarbon solvents and incinerate the waste. I do not know of any list of dry cleaners that do so.
My dad was a hospital administrator at the VA. He complained about several issues and was rubber-roomed (dad was in the Navy, used to delivering products on time and in budget and was appalled at the treatment of his fellow vets). This was not at Walter Reed. The organization simply doesn't have a culture of taking care of veterans, or anything really, beyond CYA and job security for career bureaucrats.

What's your point, regarding Chicago? Chicago is much larger than San Francisco; it's 5 times larger by area and over 3 times as many people. Chicago isn't one of the country's top cities by murder rate. Further, Chicago murders are largely confined to west and south sides of the city, a result of redlining, and most people in the city (even fewer professionals) don't live in those areas.

It's true, San Francisco used to have sketchy areas (I lived in Bayview in the late 1990s) and now basically doesn't, since the worst apartment in Bayview probably costs more than my house in Chicago does. Ok, you win. But the comment you're responding to is about quality of life in San Francisco. Nobody in Chicago is going to ask for your popcorn and swing a stick at you if you don't comply. We don't have tent cities on our main-drag sidewalks. The CTA goes pretty much everywhere and isn't an open-air drug market. We manage this despite being a larger city, with our own real pressures, and having nothing resembling the tax base San Francisco has.

San Francisco is broken. I'm sure it's fixable, but people probably need to stop pretending things are OK first.

Don't get me wrong but you're one person in ~1.4bn (!). I'm pretty sure your experience isn't applicable to most of the population.

The outcome wasn't pretty.

If that's the case then I apologize. It's a common thing to cherry pick out of context and misleading statistics to push a narrative, then say "you must hate statistics/maths/reality" when you point out they are misleading.

"The left hates math" = "the left hates our statistics"

Perhaps you could elaborate on your comment.
> that one fact alone makes this trash. Like - hot garbage "screws up your conversion rates" trash.

That's a pretty hostile and condescending way to talk about someone else's work. Your statement is also incorrect if applied as a general rule. I have personally administered A/B tests for this type of masking behavior on a sales funnel and observed an increase in conversation rates (specifically for credit card number masking) on our site.
It made many things slower than you would expect. There was a much bigger gap between the theoretical performance the hardware was capable of and the real world performance of typical code people were used to writing or had in their existing codebases. There was also a much bigger gap between performance of a debug build and release build than people were used to, to the extent that debug builds could be completely unplayable.

Generally you paid a significantly higher penalty for branching and for cache misses than people were used to and that meant changing the way you designed and wrote code. The cost of things like if statements, function calls, virtual function calls and jumping around in memory were relatively much higher than people were used to. There were also some particular quirks of the hardware that compounded these problems and made certain things usually considered cheap or even optimizations very expensive like converting between floats and ints, shifting by non constant amounts or mixing SIMD code with traditional floating point.
Because sometimes it's better for readability and conceptual simplicity to structure the code as objects connected to each other. Most of large-scale successful projects, often written by better developers than me or you, use OOP.

Trolls are definitely real, and we need reforms, particularly at the PTO, to cut down on the number of bad patents. At the same time, there are companies who make lots of money free riding on other peoples’ IP. And that’s also a huge problem. For example, YouTube became a multi-billion business ripping off content companies. YouTube doesn’t create a product-it’s just a middle man for content produced by other people. YouTube makes more money by weakening the protections available to content producers (and unsurprisingly Google is at the forefront for watering down copyright law). Huawei built a business ripping off the designs of Cisco and Juniper, and now are using their leverage to try and compete with those companies in the US.

That problem becomes particularly acute as the US switches more to producing IP. The EFF’s myopia is to fail to realize that a balance needs to be struck. A world where you can release a chip or a drug or a jet engine and have a Chinese company immediately copy it and sell a competitor at a fraction of the price with no consequences is one that’s not good for Silicon Valley in the long run. Our competitors overseas can recreate YouTube much more easily than they can recreate Hollywood. India still hasn’t been able to create a jet engine domestically, even though HUL has been able to design and manufacture most of the rest of a jet fighter.

From your earlier comment:

> So yes, we can absolutely be happy they are being demonitized

The difference is that you are starting to go on the group-offensive, celebrating the winning against one flavor of Youtube nutter.

The original comment did tangentially bring up anti-vax, yes. But my point is we should aim to tolerate that, as it's tangential. Focusing on that single aspect then either results into re-arguing whether the censorship is good (which can only go more meta, because obviously the immediate anti-vax phenomenon itself is bad), or simply left to sit and form a tacit consensus that censorship is worthwhile.

(I apologize for having focused on you by virtue of you being the only commenter, and good on you for vouching - directly opposing the main symptom).
