I am glad someone bought up Heinlein. He has certainly been a very important influence in my life.

I don’t like the label of ‘poly’ and I don’t understand the definition of ‘love’ as we know it in society..and I have a dim view of marriage as a social construct as I see how it can be regressive for women(I am female).

That Heinlein quote is one of my favorites. I embrace it better as something that causes a tumble and release of brain chemicals in a certain synchronized way.

I also wonder if entheogens can help human beings grasp the concept of love and guide them to be emotionally non violent(to themselves and to those they love) about it.

Perhaps we will all love each other universally if someone added ‘shrooms in our tap water.(I was being facetious! Altho..it is more of an absurd seed for maybe a weird tales story contribution.)

I have. Her stuff is pretty great, though I found Mating in Captivity a bit lacking on solutions to some of the cases she presented and also lacking a sort of overarching theory. But that’s just because how my brain operates: show a theory, then show examples of it being applied. Overall I found it super helpful to dissect certain types of relationships I’ve had and how to make existing ones a lot healthier.

MPK allows you to generate unlimited number of bitcoin addresses that belongs to your wallet.

There are softwares that do that.
The problem is that people want to converge on one system, so opting out often isn't viable. I don't use Facebook, for example. But when my school makes an announcement, or creates some kind of bulletin board or sign up, they often use Facebook. Most people are on it. If I want to advertise a mobile app it is really hard without using Facebook or Instagram.

You say "you can't just come and take it away because you don't like that person". This is not about animosity toward any person or company (or it shouldn't be). We have stopped people or issued government control when people are close to having monopolies over oil, monopolies over power, telecommunications, etc.
But where would be the benefit for them? How many people would pay to block adverts but not tracking & data linking forensics when they can already do that for free? Probably some would, but I suspect not enough to offset the extra development & maintenance time and potential sense of bad faith from the advertisers. Further more, as mentioned in my previous post, making an official ad-free route is likely to make unofficial blocking easier.

Who the advertisers might want to reach is relevant because FB can currently promise to do whatever is practically possible to block ad blocking. This doesn't amount to much (tricks like the extra divs littered through the word "sponsored" and so forth, to obfuscate the advert related code & markup from blocking scripts, for instance) but is better from the advertisers point of view than them admitting it is going to happen and they've given up stopping it. And again, the official ad blocking method is likely to make unofficial blocking easier - they would have to defend that to their advertising customers.

The other issue that could come up is effectively creating a two tier system, with those that can afford to pay and those that can't. Equality and privacy defenders might be all over that, and however right or wrong people think each side would be there FB are not going to want that on top of all the public scrutiny they are already getting.

Yes. If you work in insurance and have the right code, you know you can pay it without pending the claim and sending a letter requesting additional information. If you have the medical records but no code, you may have to ask for additional info to determine if it is covered.
Note that the Java impl is creating objects all over the place in the inner loop - madness!

I'm sure a "mechanical translation of [the] C" version would improve things for the Java ver as well. If we removed startup costs (the class file validation, etc) I'd expect it to be on par with C.
>if there is no end-user-set firmware password, you can just go into the menu and change "Secure Boot" to "no."

The above expected behavior is still quite prevalent.

However with PC's such as the Acer Aspire Switch 10e,
if there is no end-user-set firmware password, you can NOT just go into the menu and change "Secure Boot" to "no."
The option will not be available.

The latter would seem to work as an anti-recycling feature. IOW, since the default user behavior is to not set a BIOS password, anyone disabling secure boot in order to use Linux will have had to set a BIOS password on such hardware first, even if they would not have normally used a BIOS password otherwise.

Later, when the hardware is passed on to a second-hand user without knowledge of the BIOS password, it will not be so easy to fully repurpose the machine without being able to get into the BIOS to make appropriate changes.
Very interesting. Thanks.

Is that because sepsis diagnosis weren't being captured in the transcribed notes?

Is this kinda related to the checklist manifestos, a la Atul Gawanda?
Is your argument that you only need integrity if you verified the authenticity out of band?
No need for electronics. Fretless string instruments, trombones, the human voice, and most any wind instrument with a good player can bend the notes sufficiently to achieve whatever precise pitches you want and hit these perfect intervals. A typical piano doesn't have a way to bend the pitches on a whim.

All that said, perfect tuning can only happen with certain types of chords, and music that used only those perfectly tuned chords would be quite boring in general. There are so many more combinations that still sound "good". Part of what makes music interesting is building and releasing tension over time, and one way to do that is with chords that don't hit these perfect intervals.

As for the piano and other instruments like it, centuries of good composers have found all sorts of ways to take advantage of its particular idiosyncrasies, both alone and with all sorts of combinations of instruments. And it's not just old classical artists: in the 20th and 21st centuries, there are plenty of geniuses who have and continue to find new ways to bring out what makes the piano such an interesting instrument. Debussy broke all the conventional wisdom of his day to make the most beautifully resonant piano pieces. Check out Nancarrow's player piano pieces on YouTube to see the instrument taken to a ludicrous extreme; John Cage's piano pieces often go all the way in the other direction; Steve Reich's Piano Phase is a brilliant exploration of how we hear piano music; and finally, compare John Adams's China Gates (a solo piece) with Century Rolls (a concerto) for very different approaches from the same composer.

I don't know why everyone is being so negative in the comments so far. It's really discouraging to other people who want to share something they made. It makes me sad.

OP: This is cool. It's not meant to replace Netlify or GH Pages or a million other things, and I understand that. Some people just want to make something and you made something. You've done more than so many people here by just releasing something and that's something to take great pride in. I don't have a use for it personally, but I think it's really cool and I took a look at the code to see what was going on. I found it neat.

Ignore and excuse everyone that's expecting a multi-million dollar product from you.

Everyone else: If you're genuinely asking "what's the point of this?" or "why's it free? who are you? why should I trust you?" or "what does this do that Netlify or GH Pages doesn't" — let's get real for a minute: Not everything is meant to compete with these services, or any service. There are a hundred-thousand products that exist on the internet with very happy users that you and I have never heard of. This bias that everything needs to be "the one" that we all use is discouraging, isn't the goal of this community, and isn't in the hacker spirit. It's fine to be skeptical and curious, but don't be a downer or shame.

This is show and tell: Timmy brought a rock he thinks is cool, Cassie brought her mom's diamonds, and Shaun brought a 2Pac album. Don't yuck other people's yums.
The other article didn't have the exact number, so I used the number of Wikipedia that says something like 3.6 tons in total and 2tons inside the measurement part (or something like that).
Are there examples of direct representation actually working this way? I try not to be too cynical, but I havent seen good examples of a Congress member’s constituency being able to significantly influence their behavior outside of their reelection campaign.
A big part of the point of a marketplace of contractors would be to do some form of vetting. Contracts can have standardized terms. People may want insurance or other protection. Contracts are more than just "X pays Y, Y does work for X".

A marketplace making a requirement that contractors on their platform must respond to messages within N hours doesn't inherently make the contractors into employees. "We don't list people unless they meet these requirements" serves as a major selling point. "We list anyone who shows up" makes for a noisy, lower-value marketplace.
Tried to read your article, but the way the email prompt loaded made it impossible to dismiss so I entered a false address.

This narrative would be compelling if there was a way to stop Facebook from collecting data on me and using it anyways. There is not. Facebook trackers, pixels, and plugins exist on a huge number of popular sites and apps. The legislative gap is that Facebook is allowed to collect data from me even if I explicitly don’t want them to through dark patterns and their myriad partnerships. Not to mention that they may, at any moment, acquire whatever alternative to Facebook’s products I choose to use and drag me in again (see WhatsApp).

Edit: by the way, I’ve been using computers for ~25 years and would describe myself as “extremely online”. If I feel helpless in the face of Facebook’s and Google’s tracking technology I have no idea how the average user must feel.
That said - merchants can retaliate back to consumers by banning them or reducing their ratings especially in industries where merchant provides essential services.

Consumer can of course re-retaliate back to merchant via social media hell.

So, on a final note, it's better to try to resolve things in a friendly manner, unless there is a clear fraud on one side.

What are they going to blame millennials on next? We just go and kill everything!

I live in a sales tax free state (New Hampshire) and I happen to be right on the border with Massachusetts which has a sales tax. I can tell you on any given weekend the mall is PACKED with millennials! Not even just on holiday season.

Now that I have a kid I find myself going every weekend since my 3 year old loves the indoor playground area and walking around all the stores.

Anecdotally, I suspect people dislike of malls will change quickly once online stores are forced to start collecting sales tax in non-nexus locations. I don't agree with it (it's cross border commerce and states shouldn't be able to force businesses to remit tax to them if I don't live there) but it's coming.

Also, truth be told the millennial group is far too large. I am an old millennial and I share very little in common with the younger millennials.

Edit: also, I agree with some of the other commenters. Maybe it is different now but I couldn't get a credit card until I turned 18 and even then I had to have my parent co-sign. Though debit cards are easier to get, I think.

Edit 2: Fixed an ambiguous sentence where I was accidentally switching from a consumer voice to a business voice.
It's a good idea. I believe there's actually a prop on the next ballot to roll back prop 13 on corporate offices.

For my own part, I've found that people are also emotionally attached to the idea of being able to raise their own children in the family home. Anecdotally, people often have trouble with the idea that the retired teacher next door in their house is a multi-millionaire, leading to some people refusing to regard residences as meaningful property.
Kids are doing far less of that than ever before. At a mall? At public commercial establishment? That's just asking for trouble. Act like a teenager in the 80s might get you banned from a store/mall. Today it will see you up on trespass charges, your school may be notified, and you might not be going to university. The days when malls offered teens a degree of freedom are long gone.
> OTOH, if there is strong reason to think the tool is otherwise correct, finding resources to. enable the team to gain and/or borrow the knowledge they are currently lacking should be practical.

It's incredible companies don't invest in training enough, and this goes both for the companies who provide training (causing companies to avoid wasting money on it to begin with) and the ones who need training for their teams.

A senior I worked with mentioned how he learned OO when his company he worked at had everybody trained on it, and hasn't forgotten it since.

But now it's all the job of the degrees right. They'll totally cover everything your company needs to use every obscure tool you want to be used for pennies on the dollar.
I think the picture of the author (clearly female) is the give-away, but the name "Evelyn" isn't because it is one of those names (e.g. "Lee") that are applied to both men and women.
This is interesting. There’s also a projection of physician shortage in the years to come. This is both for primary and specialty doctors, and I’m curious if there will be innovative ways to work around this, too; this was released a few days ago here: https://news.aamc.org/press-releases/article/2019-workforce-....
Oh interesting that wasn’t a term I was actually familiar with. I thought we were just discussing the idea of purchasing property and renting it out.
>Pick a language that has limited programmers, bring programmers from around the country, pay them well beyond 6 figures so they don't leave and have a crisis every time a programmer leaves.

OR

>Go with a mainstream language that they teach every CS kid and has every googable question imaginable in SO, hire 1 experienced programmer to manage a bunch of post-college-kids.

There are lots of good reasons to pick a language with a strong community. Once in a while, I hear people recommend obscure languages(or up-and-coming), and I think- that is going to be expensive to maintain.
If you don’t understand Git you can use 1MB. When you log in you get access to a code editor in your browser. It has lots of features to help get you online fast. 1MB is meant to be an easy to use tool, but it does offer advanced deployment options too via API and CLI. Also it has a NoSQL database unlike GitHub and GitLab Pages.
You can get a doctor to write a letter of medical necessity. Sometimes that will get it covered.

But, yeah, the US healthcare system has issues.

You make fair points but at the same time are avoiding the larger question. What are the criteria guiding the decision? You've mentioned only one, the intent of the poster -- or more specifically the most charitably possible intent. Are there conditions under which HN would should modify offensive language to some communities? You outline no other concrete specifics that would counterbalance globally possible poster intent.

So I'll restate my challenge: If this very same article, but concerning a black mathematician instead of a female one, were posted with the word "negro" included in the title by an HN poster of uncertain possibly non-U.S. origin, would it go unedited? Stipulating that there are some locales in which this word is inoffensive.
> If there's lust involved, it's by definition not unconditional

Can you elaborate on this?
I was an intern at Mixpanel at the time (but not the author of this article or involved in the discussed rewrite). For context, the company was then <10 people. (I'm surprised to see anything from my first professional software experience on top of HN!)

My recollection of events (of 8 years ago):
The Erlang endpoint was written a year or two earlier as someone's first Erlang project, in a tiny org with no Erlang experience. The endpoint worked well enough and people moved onto other projects in the mostly Python codebase. Eventually, it became painful to debug or add features to this endpoint because no one was particularly proficient in Erlang. Ankur (author of the post, intern) then rewrote it in Python.

I wouldn't read this as a negative about Erlang or a positive article about Python. I'd instead read it as "use a language that makes sense for your organization and already existing codebase".
2020 Volkswagen VW Golf Mk8 Release Delayed by Software
Hello my name is Dalton Edwards and I’ve been building this project for over half a year. I’m sorry I didn’t make that clearer (I do link to my personal site in the footer). I’ll write a bio about myself on the homepage.
To be fair, the text doesn't seem to say if we are looking at maximum or average latency. Depending on what is being measured, you will have vastly different opinions on what is good and/or bad latency.

Also, note ratio of clients to server is 100:1. So 100ms latency almost has to be the maximally experienced: that single core node cannot spend more than 1ms per request on average, or it will fall behind.

The classic problem with these benchmarks are that they fall to what Gil Tene calls coordinated omission. I can park some of the clients for a while and process the other clients far quicker. It improves the req/s and if I'm just coming back to the parked requests within, say, 100ms, everything will look fine. But there is a lot of variance on response times.
Yeah, there really is a significant difference in usage between forums and chat channels.

Chat channels give immediate and interactive feedback. When someone asks a question in Reactiflux, they frequently get an answer within minutes, if not seconds, and we can iterate on asking for details quickly if needed.

The downside is that multiple simultaneous conversations in the same channels quickly become hard to handle, questions can get missed if they're not answered right away, and we do see a lot of the same questions over and over.

I know the Spectrum folks have emphasized the searchability of their site as a major selling point, both from Google indexing pages and the ability to search for existing threads. I won't say they're completely wrong, but at the same time, my experience is that newbies in particular won't actually search for existing answers - they just want to ask and have someone answer directly.
Once again, a de jour cliché phrase used as a handy catch-all plugin to save the effort of making a thoughtful contribution.
Can you send me a link to that so I can send my counter points?
Artificial arbitrary limits. There's no question that many jurisdictions decrease speed limits to below what the road sustains, primarily for taxation without representation (speeding tickets).

The road's natural limit is what the road should be. Of course, there's souped up muscle cars and the like that can run 150mph all day.. But those kinds of cars are outliers. I'm talking about the 2 lane road that used to be 45 near our house, that got shoved to 35. Or 55->30->55 within a half mile for bumfucksville... but that cop is sitting right there on the 30.
How do you improve when you don’t have much room for stock? Mall bookstores were usually extremely constrained for space. There was no way they could compete with an online bookshop that has a whole warehouse full of books, and which can deliver the product straight to do your door in a couple of days. The same could be said for mall CD or DVD shops, with the added pressure that physical media sales dropped drastically as everyone switched to buying online, streaming or YouTube.
The Introduction to Statistical Learning book is great.

But, and I think this is not stated enough, there is a big difference between statistical learning and machine learning in terms of how you approach a problem. The subject matter might be same, but the approach to solve problem is different, one is a 'statistics' approach, one is a 'CS' approach. Depending on your background, you might like one but not the other.

You can know more of what I am talking about by reading this famous piece from Leo Breiman [0].

Personally, I feel I was fortunate enough to learn ML from a so called 'CS' perspective through Andrew Ng's course on Coursera.
