Interesting, even at 7%, this autistic population could be creating the unfavorable perceptions of trans women and confirming people’s pre-existing beliefs of mental health issues because enough of their quirky or negative experiences with trans women are “just” with autistic people

As in, one circumstance is being conflated with another circumstance and this is counterproductive for everyone

Apple wants to grow profits and you don't do that selling low margin devices to people that don't spend a lot of money on apps and other Apple products and services.

Nobody is making any money selling to the low end of the market.
But coupled with the VAT of 25% the effective tax rate is closer to 50%.
The problem with this analogy is that the 55/44 split is not equally distributed across a state. In virtually every case there are pockets of one or the other. As long as you keep the goals of uniform, compact and consistent sizes they should do a much better job of getting closer to the 4/5 you are looking for or maybe a couple of safer and a couple of swing districts. What happens now is that the party in control (which in 2010 was largely R) packs and cracks to get an unnatural advantage (looking at you Wisconsin)

My bigger question is when the political split is more like 80/20 case should the 20 be guaranteed representation?
It kind of sounds like they need a raised floor. Cabling bundles can be fed into ports in the floor tiles and run the length of rooms without being exposed in a way that people would trip on them.
Security Risk Advisors | CyberSOC Consultant / Red Team Operator | Philadelphia PA, USA | REMOTE (USA) | Full Time

SRA is looking for a SOC Consultant specific to night and morning watch. Responsibilities include eyes on glass security monitoring for threats and use of the latest security monitoring technologies to detect malware and hackers. Consultants will use Security Information Event Management tools (SIEM), Endpoint Detection & Response tools (EDR), and Network Security Monitoring tools (NSM) such as FireEye, Fidelis, Splunk, Intel/McAfee, RSA, IBM, Symantec, Resilient, Cybereason, Tanium, CarbonBlack, Bro and Snort.

Become a part of our Red Team! We're looking for people to help improve our capabilities in performing stealthy, highly targeted attacks against our clients. We want someone who doesn't blanch when it comes to using certutil to reconstruct a base64 encoded payload on a Windows server because the upload capacity was too limited to upload the full payload. Someone who is willing to write a perl script to forward ports on a GNU/Linux server to pivot into a privileged network. If that and writing custom web-shells and creating custom attacks for specific client profiles interest you, this is the role for you.

PM if interested in either!

It's somewhat confusing to see it this way the first time, but it's absolutely the right way to think about these structures. It's better to do the work to get used to it early on.

I think you misunderstand. That's a dealbreaker, not an upside.
Or, more properly, they use the 117 matches as a starting point in an investigation to eliminate most of them, i.e., they weren't in the area at the time, and identify the others who were in the area at the time. Probably not worth it for a petty crime, but for something more serious...

Or, they just store the info, and when the same petty criminal pops up again with a similar crime, as is often the case, also track the particulars of this one to see if they get a match and add that to the prosecution list.

Kind of like cell phone tracking. There's hundreds of phones in the vicinity of any one bank robbery, but when you get one that is in the vicinity of all three, probably a good idea to investigate the owner of that one...

I don’t know how they work, but I’ve assumed that they are avoiding particular frequencies. The downside is the batteries, which seem particularly short lived.
It has to start at the very top. Managers get bullied into creating multi-tasking cultures because they aren't allowed to staff projects sequentially. Every stake holder cares that their project is started, at the expense of when all projects will finish.

Early Paypal had singular focus, although I've only heard the stories told through the mythologizing of the founders:
http://blog.idonethis.com/manager-focus-peter-thiel-paypal/

I think there's a way to manage remote teams that promotes single tasking. Because communication is harder with remote teams you have to make a choice: have more of it or have less of it. I always choose to have less communication by trying to simplify work, eliminate coordination (especially parallel projects), actually push decision making out to the edges. I don't know exactly how well the people who work with me enjoy it, but I know I only have one meeting on my calendar this week, and so I'm pretty free to single task at least.

Multi member districts is not a bad idea for the House of Representatives. Can be done on a local level. But there needs to be a constitutional amendment.

Why not simply switch to a system where a state itself is a giant multi member district, like a parliamentary system?

This seems like it could be invasive. Is it opt out?
Multitasking is harmful for left-brain dominant persons, because the left brain processes information in a linear-sequential manner. This does not permit the resumption of interrupted tasks.

Multitasking is not as harmful for right-brain dominant persons, because the right brain processes information in a visual-simultaneous manner. This ALLOWS the resumption of interrupted tasks.
Couldn't you classify what you described as early trauma - highly stressful situation? I ask because I would have been considered Asperger's as a child, however was never formally diagnosed, and I had I'd call traumatic, a few childhood experiences with severe pain. It was however a series of events in my early 20s lead me to developing a severe hypersensitivity to sound, which then through trying to problem solve, discovered a sound therapy - with a diagnostic method of determining if the therapy would help before doing it - I did it, and it helped me dramatically, including unblocking whatever developmental blocks had occurred at an early age; I had extremely painful ear infections as a child, very stressful for the nervous system - and at a time of rapid brain development - and without going into more detail now, which I have in the past on HN, whatever coping mechanisms lead to autistic characteristics relating to processing feelings, emotion, focusing, which cascade learning, attention, etc. The sound therapy can potentially help the full autism spectrum, of course what the cause is will likely impact who will benefit from it; you also don't lose any of your skills developed, things just flow easier, and you may have gain access to sensory in a more balanced manner, leading to better self-regulation. The therapy I did is called Auditory Integration Training or Berard AIT for short; there is also another method called the Tomatis method which is apparently more effective if the trauma occurred while still in the womb. There are other sound therapies out there claiming to be beneficial, marketing themselves efficiently, however I'm uncertain of their methods - something I someday hope to test adequately with proper research comparing sound therapies.
thats not a legal expense or damage.

I agree, that reimbursing people for buying credit reporting they didnt need is the right thing to do. But thats it. Theres no other damage besides superfluous money spent and time wasted. These other categories of money (Besides time/credit reporting reimbursement) set aside, dont make any sense, because NOBODY has ANY evidence of damage, any any evidence people think they have, isnt related to Equifax.
Wait, I thought Panspermia....
You can't "not assume" a prior. Frequentist statistics does indeed use (sometimes improper) implicit priors, and thus implicitly assumes subjective information. Bayesian inference makes it explicit. Anyone who thinks they can evaluate evidence objectively in the first place is fooling themselves. There is always subjectivity.

If you really want to assume "minimum information," use the Jefferys prior for your domain. This minimizes the square root of the determinant of the Fisher information matrix.

The Jefferys has the key property of being invariant upon changes of parameters. This property is not generally true of implicit frequentist priors (unless they correspond with the Jefferys prior), but yet is essential for uninformativeness. If your model depends on the units you choose for your parameters, you can hardly call it objective!

For those wondering, they do make zip ties out of PEEK[1] for high temperature ranges. They are rated up to mid 200s C for temperature and cost about $1-3 per tie.

I noticed that all zip ties seem to be made out of thermoplastic polymers (most are nylon). I assume something about the manufacturing of them rules out thermoset polymers? Anyone on HN care to enlighten us?

My point was going to be that these are concepts and protocols rather than programs, and that you would use an actual program (eg TortoiseGit) to actually use it.

But then I read your comment and realised in *nix the program is actually called "git". So I concede :-)
No idea, I don't allow those apps (most) on my phone. The website works just fine for those rare times I actually use it, which is mostly clicking on links that lead back there. If I need a newer faster phone to view basic html (a list view of posts, with video...basic stuff here...) then I just won't use that noncritical service. I'll live. There is no need to use a lot of cpu for such a basic thing. It's a glorified website.

Does anyone happen to have a good resource for learning GoLang? It's nearly impossible to find good tutorials (outside of the golang site's tutorial) because the name Go is super common and "GoLang" isn't used by everyone.

Not to be contentious, but it now appears -- to me, anyway -- perhaps this is old news -- that the hack was perpetrated via Amazon's cloud services. So now it would appear that the perpetrator's Amazon background is quite germane. Even so, Amazon is in no way at fault, as far as I can tell.
For some people...

Proportional would be nice, but that's a more radical change. I am an incrementalist and believe restoring sanity to the existing system is the good first step, and easier to get done.
> The audio world solved the "cables being knocked out" problem a long time ago with locking connectors (not screw-ins, so they're still quick connect) like Speak-On and XLR. The former is much more formidable.

Audio has the advantage of both ends being heavy and solid. Attaching a line that goes into a person with stitches or a balloon (urinary catheter) is done, but what happens when those get yanked forcefully is bad.
It's unclear which "not" you're addressing —

"should not be used to screen for autism" — They have identified a statistically-valid link between estrogen levels and autism, and are worried that parents will say "I have high estrogen levels, I'd better terminate my pregnancy and try again". Sadly, some parents will.

"not preventing [autism]" — Imagine that autism is what makes hermits (such as Merlin the Wizard) valuable to nearby towns. The towns bring the hermit food and build a house to keep them all far apart, because the hermit is incredibly strange and doesn't care about people's feelings — but also can solve any problem and always seems to be coming up with ways to make everyone's life better.
You don't know it for a fact. You trust them to not do it.

Yes, let's try again, how do you know you can trust anybody to do anything?

Do you hold a gun to their head? Do you trust the courts to uphold written agreements/contracts that dictate the other party's behavior? Do you observe their past behavior and use that to guess future behavior?

In 99% of our daily actions, we use the last option, and right now is no exception.

This ignores the labor market economics involved in research. If there was lots of pre-registration and always multiple replication attempts then there wouldn’t be much of a replication crisis in the first place. It’s not frequentist stats that’s to blame, it’s the labor market for researchers.

In practice I think objective similarity ends up being a form of the latter, i.e. basically the average of all user's preferences. The plan with Lagukan is to have a hierarchical model that'll default to the objective/averaged similarity but then shift over to a more individualized model as data is collected on the given user.

(Actually, it already contains a hierarchical model like this, but it's used for adapting to the user's current mood, not for recommending new music)
After reading these projects, I’m curious why people can’t leave a paper note or memo on the desk.
What forms of birth control spike estrogen? My understanding was that it worked by suppressing the natural estrogen spike that triggers ovulation.
On the other hand what if it's not just conflated circumstances and there is some kind of interaction there. When there is an unusually large correlation between two unexpected things it normally merits further investigation.
Performance is part of accessibility. I haven't realized this earlier, but now it's clear to me. I think accessibility is much more than what we believe it to be. It's about allowing as many people as possible to access our services. This, in my opinion, is a moral issue, and I think not doing that is just plain unethical. Making a website that's not WCAG compliant, i.e. doesn't work well for disabled people, one that is not available in specific countries or for specific age groups is bad, but making website that wastes resources is bad too. If you're doing one kind of accessibility because moral issues, you should be doing the other kinds too.
