And we had to know that because? To morally condemn them?

If we (people on HN) like their 4 comments enough to vote them to the top, then it's up to us.

Same for their "submission history". I could not care less if it's comprised from their own articles on Medium. As long as people liked and voted for the stories to go on the front page, that's enough. If people on HN didn't like and vote for the stories, they'd be lost, like countless other submissions. So there's that.

I would have a problem if antirez, or idlewords, or PG, or whoever posted their own articles either. Why not? There's the upvoting of submissions to tells us whether those are good or not.

I also checked the submissions history of the person you refer to. 30 submissions in 6 years. Hardly clogging the pipes.

Besides, what they share in this post is regarding Medium, so is totally on topic. There's this, too.

What's this putdown for? Jealousy? Moral indignation? I don't really like the tone and the finger pointing.
It's not just people moving to the area.

Also consider existing renters who need to move, or people who become renting-age.

I will need to move out of the city if I lose my place. I'm paying $1000 below market value.

> The fact that software engineers are in a good position market-wise, doesn't mean you can say whatever you like to someone.

The fact that software engineers are in a good position market-wise is a position of leverage to ask questions to make an informed decision when taking the next step in their career.

Frankly, if a CEO found any questions like these arrogant or out of line, I'd personally wonder if I, as an engineer, could do my job effectively or believe in the company's success. But, to each their own!

Shooting down your own satellite isn't an "issue of national security."

And the question isn't whether it is permissible, but rather was it an obvious opportunistic move? The answer to the latter is yes to pretty much all of the outside observers.

People should be able to move easily because it's good for all of us. The less friction there is in the labor market, the better off the economy is. It's also very good for the sellers of labor who now have better ability to move to where their services are most wanted or negotiate better rates.

It's not super unreasonable for a city to try to protect its current residents but when an entire country of cities are all protecting their own residents that country is much worse off.

Yeap, so innovative it existed already for decades (virtual machine executing some fixed bytecode).
Thanks Scott! I remember reading one of your posts somewhere talking about Jd. I'm curious if you still use it, or if it or your admittedly non-expert J knowledge made sticking with R, Torch7, Lush, Tensorflow...etc more tenable. I figure you might also use Kerf. Speaking on that subject, would you and Kevin ever open-source the code if you're not selling it anymore?
I thought Apple's laptop keyboards were great prior to the butterfly era. They never felt quite as good as their old desktop keyboards—which were and are my favorite—but more than adequate for a laptop.

Can you win the stacking challenge? An example of heuristic optimization
I have a whole lot of reasons. It boils down to the fact that I think it amounts to rich people imagining they can cut a small check and make poor people shut up and go away rather than giving them real rights, access to the means to build wealth, etc.

Also, every time humans try to "share and share alike" like this -- socialism, communism, etc -- it winds up going bad places. Such idealistic schemes only ever work well when it is some small self-selected group of like-minded people. The minute it gets opened up to "everyone," it promptly goes to hell in a hand basket.

Articles about UBI suggest that we need UBI because automation is displacing workers and you can assume permanent high unemployment as a normal future state. The jobs that are going away due to automation typically pay $20k to $50k annually. UBI is usually posited as being about $10k annually or maybe $18k annually tops.

Such articles then go on to describe how wonderful it will be for people currently doing underpaid "good work," like social workers, to have UBI on top of their current meager paycheck. They never actually go into the dystopian scenario of 80 percent permanent unemployment, you getting a mere $10k annually with nearly zero hope of making more than that while rents, medical expenses, etc. remain just as high as they are today.

I think a much better solution is single payer healthcare and real solutions to the housing affordability crisis. Make it possible for someone to get free or cheap healthcare and a cheap, decent place to live where it is possible for a single person (for example) to support themselves working a minimum wage job or part-time at gig work that pays a bit better than minimum wage and a lot of social ills we see today will largely go away.

Here is a piece that I think does a good idea of outlining some of the issues with UBI. I especially like the phrase "California optimistic" in the piece:

https://medium.com/s/free-money/after-universal-basic-income...

It recently occurred to me that UBI treats most people as "consumers" and their "consumer" function as the only thing they can contribute to the system while trying to survive. This means UBI actively tries to turn people into parasites.

We need to integrate people into the body of the nation as productive, responsible citizens, even if they don't produce very much. There is no end to how much people can spend, as evidenced by the fact that about 2/3 of lottery winners wind up bankrupt within five years from what I gather.

Thank You Apple. Finally you have the courage to admit it. ( Although in both cases they were under the pressure of media and press )

Unfortunately the extended warranty programme [1] still does not include MacBook 2018. Now they have acknowledge it, at least there is hope this will change. I could never understand why Apple don't have some internal guidelines on it, even if it was out of warranty they could have fix it for free as Standard Procedure, without actually admitting it was a problem. Instead they try to charge people outrageous repair price on it.

Keyboard, TB3 Charging, Internal Display Connector, Trackpad False positives, and numbers other small things I can't remember. I am hoping 2019 Apple will have a MacBook Pro redesign that fixes all of these issues.

At least in America, the vast majority of the time, creditors are huge companies and debtors are individuals who happened to fall on hard times or make financial decisions that didn't pan out. Therefore it's much, much worse when a debtor is unjustly punished than when a creditor unjustly goes unpaid. It's the difference between completely ruining an individual's life, and removing a meaninglessly small amount of money from the pockets of rich people who will remain rich regardless. Are creditors in China commonly non-rich individuals? Are micro-loans a significant portion of what's being talked about here? I'm asking this as a serious question.
Also, elections are coming. 23-26.5.2019. Their electorate remembers, and will send them packing.

>SalesForce was well aware of backpages business practices and activities

backpage had been doing its business in the open in USA for almost 10 years when it became client of Salesforce in 2013. So, until 2018 no DA was bothered by the human trafficking supposedly rampant on backpage during that time, while it sounds that it was Salesforce's burden to do that the DAs hadn't and wouldn't for years - i.e. to perform investigation, etc.

Do we really want a massive SaaS company to criminally investigate its clients at its own initiative? May be it is exactly what we want - I think there is a massive attack across the board on the provider safe harbor principle with the goal to scare the providers into skittish self-censorship which the most and foremost would affect the basic civic freedoms.
The non-locking 3-inch blade of a Swiss Army knife is not good as a weapon. If you ever need to use a Swiss Army knife for self-defense, flip out one of the half-length, center-mount tools--like the corkscrew, Phillips-head screwdriver, or preferably the awl--and hold the body of the knife in your palm, with the tool extending between middle and ring fingers. Then punch with it, until you get an opportunity to escape.

If you try to cut someone with the knife blade, you'll likely end up breaking it off or closing it on your own fingers. A knife weapon absolutely needs to have a fixed or locking blade.

And that's why a police officer will never have a problem with a non-locking pocketknife. A cop might. A pig definitely will. As long as the latter exist, you might as well carry a tool-knife with a "legitimate purpose" that can also be used as a weapon-knife if necessary, because following the spirit of the law won't help you it a letter-of-the-law bastard gets it in his head to screw you over.
I encourage downvoters to read the article below for a perspective on how LeCun, Hinton and Bengio may have unfairly excluded a wealth of prior work in their version of deep learning history:

I grew up on Peanuts and am a prime candidate to be a lifelong fan. However, later in life I realized that much of it just isn't very funny to me anymore. I think C&H played a big part in adding to my disappointment in Peanuts, as C&H was for me consistently, brilliantly funny. YMMV.
Machine learning: Moving from experiments to production
It would be both... I've read Atwood's claims to be "speculative fiction" rather than "science fiction" because - "Science fiction has monsters and spaceships; speculative fiction could really happen."

I read the Maddadam Trilogy (the books that quote was specifically about) and the fact that she can claim it's not sci-fi because it "could really happen" is ridiculous and insulting to actual "hard sci-fi" which do a better job of working out new science could impact the real world.

Also, the books literally have monsters in the form of human-intelligent, genetically-mutated pigs.
I graduated HS in 2014. By the time the 4s came out they were pretty ubiquitous. Carrier subsidy existed to make one or two year old iPhones pretty cheap (I vaguely remember iPhone 4 being 'free' from verizon for a while). I didn't get one until after many of my peers (iPhone 5 era), but I had an iPod touch and a phone with a full keyboard which was a common combo among the people I knew who were later adopters of smartphones.

Nice write up, I listen to my DW playlist quite a lot.

What I do for myself is I have a hard computer logoff time (11 PM), but I can work with paper / read books, so I work on the paper planner after that.
Perhaps that's the results of a fast-moving culture where, for most people, evening events and activities are prevalent and only a click away with the idea that the grass is always greener being prevalent. You don't want to commit to anything days, let alone weeks, in advance because maybe there will be something better to do. Maybe something you wanted to do with your friends a week ago no longer interests you or your couch is too comfortable to leave for the evening.
Why don't you register a complaint with ECI and take BJP to court? Any lawyer worth their salt will reject to take your case unless they like losing. I am sure now you will attack the Indian judiciary and how BJP has "compromised" that as well. There is no end to this kind of BS argument. Just be happy for India.
It’s exclusionary and merely the local version of nationalism. If you don’t want anyone to move to an area raise taxes and stop allowing new business etc. - ie, actually discourage new growth.

But no place does that. They actively encourage new growth, just not new housing, which has the effect of systematically displacing lower income people, and eventually the middle class too. Long term it ends up hurting the original people it was supposed to benefit - ie. all the Californians crying about how their kids can’t stay in state when it’s the discriminatory policies they supported that created that situation.

> There are a couple of explanations being floated. First of all there where two votes, not just one, and if you wanted to vote 'correctly' against A13 you had to vote NO on the first vote and YES on the second (or vice versa to support A13), The people who voted 'wrong' voted either NO to both or YES to both.

I think it was the other way around actually. They first voted on whether to allow an last batch of amendments, which would have allowed separate voting on article 11 and 13 (and this vote failed by 5 votes).
Then only after that they voted on the real deal.

A few days back there was an article here on HN on Amsterdam's plan to block people from renting out homes that where previously occupied by the owners of the building.

I commented [0]: "Good [...] A city of renters is a soulless city; less people are long-term invested and no one really buys into the community they live in. ¨

And this article seems to agree with me on this point. One sentence in particular captures my thought:

"The political economy problem now should be obvious: Why exactly would non-landowners press for improvements in their cities? The value of those improvements will be captured mainly by other parties."

This article has given me more and better arguments to formulate my stance on this topic. Good post!

I don't think it was 9/11. My siblings and I all spent our teen years after 9/11 but before the proliferation of smartphones (I didn't get mine until I was a senior in college). We all hung out with friends, often after dark. We went to public school and lot of our friends weren't high income so hanging out in person was the main method of entertainment. Maybe our experience was not representative of the norm. In retrospect our parents were strong believers in the antifragility of children, and consistently sought to give us as much freedom and responsibilities as we could safely bear. I remember doing things like changing oil, fixing lawn mower blades, learning how to use a chainsaw in my early teens. They took me to a shotgun class (because my dad got invited to a bird hunting trip) even though I had zero interest in guns at the time. I also took an hour bus ride to school through the worst part of town. My parents could have sheltered their kids from experiences like these but chose not to. Maybe they weren't regular parents, but I sincerely hope the claim that kids are so sheltered and isolated these days is rooted more in stereotype than fact.
Wait... what?

So the first, the US, was a travesty, but everyone else is legitimate self-defense?

If you want to get the truth from people who are accustomed to spin, ask the opposite question:

If you want to know: “How important is meritocracy in this company?”

Ask instead: “How important is loyalty in this company?”

But let’s be honest. At this point, you’re less worried about getting the truth than getting the offer.

So ask them how they became so wonderful.
Sure, why not? Take credit for whatever you have done, it's naive to think that politicians will not showcase their work. Tell me what do you write in your resume?

Finding personal faults with any public person is pointless (as in having an effect on you). What matters is whether the results are good/bad.

This is pretty awesome to read, and the charts are really telling.

> For an indie artist like me, the major difference between Apple Music and Spotify is Discover Weekly. Apple Music has no equivalent.

This is just not true, Apple Music sends you 3 different personalized weekly playlists, two of which from Music you do not already have in your library. I have discovered tons of indie artists (many with < 100 followers on Twitter) through these playlists.

Here was my comment from yesterday morning:

>Question 1: What problems am I trying to solve?

I wish I had really thought about this when I first wrote my largest web scraper. At the time, I was still relatively new to database design and programming in general. This web scraper, out of the thousands I've written in the interim, is--of course--the one that is still going strong many years later.

I eshewed MongoDB for all the reasons given to me on the internet and, because I was slowly gaining competence with SQL, ended up building a large and complex pipeline to send the data right into Postgres. In retrospect, this was a serious design mistake, and one that I regret the most.

Although I still contend that the data did eventually need to be normalized, I now believe that I was doing it far too early. By ingesting the JSON stream into a parser, splitting it up, generating foreign keys, and then forcing the whole works into a single Postgres database I severely limited the capacity of my web scraper (and also guaranteed the need for a very powerful server to run it).

Had I initially dumped all results into MongoDB (or some other efficient document store) and then, separately, parsed the output into normalized SQL, I would have dramatically simplified the operation, maintenance, and debugging of my web scraper. Plus it would have been much simpler to spawn work jobs on to different machines instead of trying to break up huge monolithic processes with poorly defined endpoints. There have been many lessons learned.

In short, Mongo likely serves a very good purpose for high-speed data storage and manipulation (although it's hardly alone in this space). However, it's still likely not a great all-around solution and works best when supported by an ACID-based normalized RDBMS. Unless, of course, things have dramatically changed in recent updates.
Does that generation make enough money to be considered a market? Also conflating some to all, most millennials just turned 30 its the older ones mid 30s.
Without knowing how often this happens in other votings it's hard to tell if this is unusual.

The only number I could find where between 2014-2015 [1], but in that year the average was 6.7 registered 'mistakes' pr. MEP. So it seems to happen quite often, I guess it only rarely has this big consequences.

With higher property taxes or land value tax that stops being true. It’s true today because our tax policy is designed to use home ownership as a tax shelter, which favors the wealthy over the poor and limits upward mobility.
What about platform differences like how file permissions work on windows vs posix? (i.e., stuff that Python does not fully normalize)
