I believe for these employers a PhD servers as a signal only: somebody who is (super?) smart, has grit and can innovate. Are we not saying “he is smart (because) he has a PhD” all the time?
However, I argue there are another ways to achieve similar signs, albeit with lower cost. Winning prestige competitions, interesting and valuable personal projects/work history, high IQ would serve the same purpose without wasting years of your life for something you don’t value (not to mention tons of money, too ;) )

What is "bitcoin inflation". World-wide inflation in comparison to bitcoin? I doubt you could make that comparison with such a volatile asset.

The inflation of the cost to produce bitcoin? Maybe, but I doubt anyone can calculate that precisely.

I really really hope its not a measure of price increase of bitcoin.
> Moving on to this policy, I'm happy to see neonazis and the KKK have a hard time. But there are people in the UK and EU who would see Brexit as being a separatist cause motivated by racial animosity.

No one is confused about the difference between "I want to kill all Jews" and "I think the British economy would be better off with fewer Polish plumbers".

> And remaining banned even for people who support it on economic grounds because they think that having to follow EU policies on GDPR, copyright, and so on will be a net negative for the UK?

This is a non-issue and just scaremongering, not all that different from "they allow sex with children next!" from the anti-gay idiots (no one is confused between gay rights and "pedo rights").
All of those small differences of mobile devices are better served by media queries I personally think. You could replace "mobile" in my example by "small-screen" if you prefer.
Define "know."

It's absolutely possible. Who runs nodes? There's no way to know that the majority of hash power doesn't already control a majority of nodes.

it's pretty hilarious how my uncle, a prof with almost no teaching background, talks about profs with tenure. "the most spoiled lazy [expletive]" while hes moved to admin, makes the average "upper middle class" salary (in canada), I know a phd in accounting that moved to the states and makes more than his peers (no one wants to do accounting theses)and still trying to maximize earning esp looking outside of academia and lives pretty frugally
You should read this awesome New Yorker article from several years ago: https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/23/conversion-via...

That said, I think I generally agree that conversion via social media is unlikely. Still, I’m also not sure about my position on banning people. But the above article is a great read.
Poker is completely dominated by men, so I don't know what that is referring to. Poker is hardly about social cues - some of the best players simply sit staring at the same spot and wait a very similar amount of time for any non-trivial decision. It's not very exciting, but boy is it effective.
yes, exactly!

The idea that low cost STOL aircraft will suddenly solve the CAS conundrum is a Reddit-baked solution void of any actual data or understanding. I'm a military aviator and the public more than anything needs to understand that as with most things in this world, it simply isn't as simple as you make it out to be.

The data from the war in Afghanistan paints a pretty good picture of capability versus perception. The vast majority of the responses to troops-in-contact came in the form of precision munitions from F-16s or F-15s. What the "troops" want is not a good variable in understanding what the best method of providing CAS is. Everyone wants the A-10, it's sexy. The reality on the ground is that even in a low threat environment such as Afghanistan the A-10 doesn't nearly do the job as good as an F-16 for a number of reasons which I won't get into in a public forum.

The Airforce vision of CAS is precision munitions from both manned and un-manned platforms that present very little risk to both the operators of the platform and the infrastructure that support them. It would be a significant de-evolution of our capability as a military to continue to operate the A-10 purley on nostalgia and public perception of its' capabilities. I don't expect the public at large to look at this situation with nuisance or data, but let's use common sense if anything. The reason why the Afghan Airforce is operating A-29s and armed C-208Bs has much more to do with cost and sustainability than it does to do with effectiveness. In fact you can find multiple articles of Afghan brass complaining about how what we are giving them isn't particularly well suited to the mission they are expected to sustain. A couple of tool boxes and spare PT6 parts will keep that fleet flying for a couple of years. I don't see them really providing a meaningful impact on the battlefield however.

Being close to the ground is the Army's mission and they do it really well. Adding a couple gunned turboprops won't change anything on the ground today or tomorrow. We are training and developing doctrine for a near-peer threat. We've been focused on COIN too long, and developing budgets and technology for yesterday's conflicts is exactly what set us back in the early days of the GWOT. So consider for a moment that the F-35, despite it's many setbacks and runaway budget might actually do the CAS mission quite well. I'll take the laser guided 500LB bomb over a spray of Hyrda rockets when some asshole starts throwing IDF my way. By the time we procure, field, and properly employ something like the A-29 it's basically going to be limited to a low threat environment scout attack role. Hey doesn't the Army do that??!!

So I told you what this soldier wants, and what the Airforce is doing. Hopefully that's good enough.

That is not correct. They also serve to exclude users of browsers you dont know or like.
the term you are looking for is a donkey or a fish. A fish that has a lot of money is called a "whale". Back at pokerstars I was always amazed by some unknown out of a middle eastern country (UAE or SA) -- this is when they still display your country -- and they'd be playing with the pros 100/200$ blinds. I always thought, are they good or too much oil money?
I think we're all about free speech but one thing we are learning is that social media allows nearly anyone to weaponize "free speech". I don't know what we should do, if anything, but I do know social media in it's current form is not good for society.

Facebook at the end of the day is a company that can do whatever they want. It would be different if the government were enforcing this.
This comes after Labor allowed the bill through in the first place:

Yes, scramjets are faster than other non-rocket planes. They have a lower bounds of approx. Mach 3, but then go up from there.

The big challenge is basically making sure that you mix your fuel with the air, combust it fully, and extract the energy before it flies out the back of the engine. Scramjets are the engines capable of this at the highest speeds.

Interesting point about talent acquisition... if you want the best pilots you have to put on a good show for them when they're kids xD
This seems like a PR piece. Too positive, a lot of discussions of pilot's smiles. Given the very high program costs and the need by Lockheed Martin to convince US allies to buy the plane despite the high price tag, I think HN readers would be well served by skepticism.

To put it another way, it the F35 was really as good as the F22, as the article seems to claim, then it would not be available for export.
Yes and it's insanity. Entire books have been written about this.
I have no doubt there is some age discrimination, though I haven't experienced it personally. What I want to point out here is that there were a lot fewer of us in total when I first started (I'm 58 now). I find very few peers my own age now, but I also found very few peers my own age when I was 25. So just going by percentages may be misleading for a relatively young discipline.
I collaborated on a project with developers at QQ a few years back and here are a couple of anecdotes:

1. A 32 year old (!) developer I was working with one-on-one from QQ had a heart attack two weeks before, but was pressured (while in hospital) to come back to work as soon as possible.
2. At the QQ office, I watched an entire group (50+ developers) have a nap heads down at their desk after lunch.

If any developers from China are listening in. Leave your company, take your colleagues and start one with better conditions. You are some of best engineers I've worked with and deserve better.
Supporting that for people who want it is one thing, living in a world where we act like there is no gender is another. A lot of us enjoy being and/or identifying as male/female.

Makes sense.
If ever you are by far the best, or the most interested, student in a classroom, then you should find another classroom.

It is unfortunate that the prevailing educational trends are to get rid of tracks, lanes, and advanced classes, and dumping all the kids into mixed ability classes.
It takes a lot of mental gymnastics to see republicans as interested in fixing election problems after everything they have and haven't done since 2016.

They would have done that long ago if they wanted to, but instead they made themselves the primary beneficiaries of a broken election system, rampant gerrymandering, voter suppression and election fraud.

It doesn't matter which individual R's turn it is to temporarily go against the grain for some publicity, the republican committee and caucus will always vote with their party if they have majority to pass what the party wants. Partisan reductionism is the only proper attitude to this party.
I don't think your question is as easy to answer as you might be implying. I certainly don't know the answer. My main concern is: what is the downside to "pretty good e2e"? Without understanding what that means, we can't evaluate the situation.

"Good" is better than "best" if "best" is not available seems obvious, but it certainly isn't true in a lot of cases. If I tell you that X secure and you trust it to be secure, when it actually has problems -- that might be worse than me telling you that X is not secure.

People are bad at evaluating risk. If I want to pass notes in class and don't want my teacher to know what the note says if I get caught, then rot-13 is probably "good enough". But if I'm a whistle-blower for a government agency, my security needs are quite a bit higher. We can never make a perfect app, but I'm not sure I could define what "good enough" looks like for the general populous. It's completely reasonable to me that different groups have different opinions on the matter -- and I think that's a good thing.
Poker bots have been around for a while. They're more or less unbeatable longterm in 1v1 games last I checked.
Retraction Watch has an interesting list of papers from Erin Potts-Kant, the Duke researcher that falsified data, that have been retracted so far [0]. There's still some other papers that haven't been retracted yet so her count of retracted papers will go up over time (it's at 8 full and 1 partial retraction).

According to The Retraction Watch Leaderboard [1], researcher with most retractions so far is Yoshitaka Fujii with 183 total retractions.

Even without --user-agent, you can still pipe 'echo -e "GET ...\rnHost: ... "' through nc, or even telnet.

Therefore, we obviously need to patch echo (and all echo shell builtins) to refuse to output strings containing "GET", "POST", "HTTP", or "Host:".

Telephony is a commodity service with a legally defined market. The rules for such services are irrelevant when deciding how to regulate non-commodity Internet services.
We Interview Front End Engineers
My point is that the original intent of the amendment was not for citizens to bear arms for their self-defense. Guns (muskets) at the time were not thought to be used for protection because they were not very accurate and were slow to reload, making them ineffective against intruders. Multiple books and records show that the founding fathers/federalists/etc. only regarded the second amendment in a military context.

> The Heller case simply extended the existing individual right to own guns in order to protect their free State to that of protecting your person and home.

This is what I am saying is "funny" - While the decision was well-informed and carefully thought out, the SCOTUS did effectively change the constitution by changing what some text meant. It's not different than case law being the biggest precedent for regular legal proceedings.

This is more a debate of whether or not the Constitution should be interpreted based on the original intent of those who wrote it. SCOTUS has shown that they think we should adapt to the times and that the United States can progressive deal with issues, and I believe it worked out in a positive manner for the specific 2008 case granting citizens more rights and freedoms.
It's like you haven't even seen The Castle, where this very constitutional issue is discussed. Acquisition of property must be on just terms with suitable compensation. Similar to the US 5th amendment.
"Maybe it’s not Facebook’s job to ban legal things you personally don’t agree with."

The problem is not that I personally disagree with white supremacy. The problem is that white supremacist organizations are a significant and growing terrorist threat, and they are using Facebook to recruit new members. This is no different from the various platforms that banned ISIS.
You are making the incorrect assumption that the people writing these laws are not idiots.

They don't understand the technology.

They don't listen to any of the people who advise them about this technology.

They seem only to be listening to the police and other law enforcement crying about "paedophiles and terrorists GOING DARK".

The Prime Minister at the time claimed the laws of Australia overrode the laws of mathematics. Seriously.

Poker is brutal no matter how you go about it.

If it's not brutal - you're simply on a hot streak, or playing in unbelievably easy games.

Poker at the end of the day, is a matter of who cracks mentally. It is just so tedious. You can see this in live games for small stakes most clearly when someone gets bored after a couple hours of shit cards and does something he/she would never do an hour in. They call it tilt, I call it your inner wisdom letting you know you're wasting your life away.

No way high school or college level classes are teaching intro calc with delta-epsilon proofs, it just won't make any sense. It's generally introduced in Real Analysis, which is generally a sophomore level class.

If someone in Wichita is unhappy with the current situation they can always do something on their own. Which is why Voat or Stormfront

Do you realize how arrogant and dismissive this can sound to people who happen to live in Wichita?

What is happening in 2019, is there is an active program to label all dissent even quite reasonable dissent like that of Steven Pinker, as something unsavory. Basically, what we are seeing in 2019, is that everyone who isn't a diehard adherent of the party line is to be relegated to Voat or Stormfront.

Korean American journalist from the wrong side of the tracks in Chicago? Call him "Alt Right" and get Antifa goons to go and beat him up. (Literally happened. You can find the videos online.) Left leaning Professors who are widely respected and cited in their fields are called "Alt Right" and "White Supremacists." Professors no longer feel free to say exactly what they think! There is no due process for people falsely accused this way. It's a form of power which can instantly exile people to a de-powered, effectively pre-Internet society. It's stacking the deck for a particular group of people (who happen to have been demonstrably wildly enmeshed in groupthink, and dramatically wrong about matters of public import -- again and again) to the tune of orders of magnitude greater effectiveness at media.

What if a cabal of corporate oligarchs decided only the people they liked got to have virality and discoverability over the Internet. That would be a competitive skewing of the odds far worse than a 1990's style monopoly. But instead of startups and business, instead apply that to the most potent forms of discourse and Free Speech.

That's a recipe for mass groupthink and oppression through the control of speech and thought. It's one which is being enacted right now.
Fraudulent tech support aside, people still need to buy office supplies. Unless their markups are horrible I don’t see why they shouldn’t exist for that.
The Hacker News crowd is very concerned about people "inventing something that doesn't need to be invented" when that thing strays anywhere near social and cultural issues rather than a shiny new startup or web framework.

> it also sounds like a high pitched male

I think it sounds feminine in a couple senses, but male in others:

* The speaker speaks less from the chest and more from the throat

* In terms of enunciation, females tend to speak more clearly on sounds such as "t"s, which can be observed here.

* The voice sounds a little more male in that the ends of many words trend lower in pitch, but more female in that they "bottom out" very early in the descent and dip heavily into vocal fry.

* There is less range of tone, which is more characteristically male.

All this aside, I wouldn't be surprised if it's actually multiple people. And I suppose the fact that we all disagree is evidence that they're doing something right. But I think most of us can agree it still sounds really wrong in some way.
what's your VPIP and 3B%? and what stakes do you hangout usually?
> What is "bitcoin inflation"

Increase of the available supply of Bitcoin, which is occurring through mining activity. Every day, every hour (usually) more Bitcoin exists. For a while still, anyway. The rate is cut in half every few years until all 21 million have been mined, then inflation is 0 (negative in reality as some Bitcoin become inaccessible, e.g. when users lose their keys).
> Because I can only imagine what you'd see in a moderately complex code if you can't understand a simple phrase like "I'm not talking about X"

I grant you could imagine it, as your imagination is robust! You have somehow imagined that one meaningful category grouping exists here in spite of the fact that we all have eyes and can see actual events that took place that make it abundantly clear the grouping does not in any way exist.

It is nothing less than a triumph of purest imagination when anyone states that in Charlottesville, separate from those white nationalists marching, rioting, firing guns into crowds, chanting Nazi slogans, carrying torches...we found a blameless group fairly described as "good people"...marching...alongside.

Seriously, you're fired. Pack up your shit and get out. Around here we need people whose cognitive and ethical standards exceed the low bar set by Donald Trump.
Interesting, I wasn't aware of that. I wonder if anything will happen with this protest then. For communists, the Chinese government isn't fond of labor protests.
