T3 are intel, newer than the T2, and perform worse than the T2. T3a are AMD and perform on par/slightly better than T3 for less cost. (From my own testing. Not a claim I can backup this is just my observation)
I don't, but the data quality really is impressive, so it would be interesting to see if anyone has tried to develop a model using it, especially since you could test it by taking other cores.
I don't know if that's true among top-tier applicants. And even if the ratio were 24:1, it still not a meaningless gesture. It puts an economic pressure on a company when finding candidates is harder.

But really being able to be proud of the work you do in your life is its own reward.
There's another way that I've seen people do it and that's farming as a service. You get people to give you cash upfront for a subscription that guarantees them a certain amount of fruit or vegetables. You rent all your equipment by the hour to plow and plant the field. Because your subscribers pay you upfront you have no need to borrow money.

The problem with subscription farming? You have to grow what your customers want to buy not what you want to plant. If you have a natural disaster you may need to refund some of your customers money. You also have to learn to sell which to some people is anathema.

But I've seen people successfully do it. There are even people doing it in the inner city of Detroit. In Detroit with the city selling lots for $100 it may pay to buy your land upfront. You also can use city water for irrigation.
It's both. That's why.

I understand there’s a demand for Women’s soccer in the US, but does that demand spread internationally like Men’s soccer? For a sport where supply and demand forces salaries up in order to secure wins, at least in the men’s side, where are the market forces out of balance on the women’s side?
I’ve never heard of anyone getting sick from anything that looks and smells like sourdough and doesn’t have obvious mold. And people start their own starters all the time under extremely unsanitary conditions.

It turns out that the critters that infect people are usually pretty specialized and have a hard time living in dough.
There is no such thing as "apolitical."
I think its important to point out that at least some of the value realized from cheap labor in the form of gig contractors is transferred to consumers. We get goods and services for cheaper than would otherwise be possible.

Uber et al make convenient villains (and for I don't by any means think they are innocent), but we should also recognize the consequences of our collective choices.
Not sure about you guys but batteries can and do explode. I don't want anyone but apple putting a battery in something that spends many hours of every day 10cm from my junk.
>There are tons of products right now on Amazon and elsewhere that are basically nothing more than USB-C PD input, DC barrel plug output.

Buying USB-C PD stuff on Amazon scares me. USB-C is enough power that there is a serious risk of fire or other bad stuff happening with low quality parts. With Amazon's counterfeit problem, this feels like rolling the dice.
Based on comments in this thread (and my own experience on BBSes), it predates Zuckerberg being born. Just for some perspective of how ridiculous this patent is.

Lethargy isn't the issue. It's the growth plateau (after ~ year one) and stifled upward mobility that are the real dealbreakers, for some. The phrase "slow down" is imo accurate insofar as a fairly middling effort exerted by any sufficiently smart person will ensure continuity of employment at GooFace.
I know exactly who she's talking about! When I was at the unnamed company I worked on a project that he retained control over and said no to a lot. We found that if we sent him a very well reasoned, documented and measured change he'd say yes.

I was there when the no swap policy was under lots of active discussion. It was there to ensure that application authors could have strong expectations on how long a memory access would take. Imagine trying to provide evidence that removing the "no swap" policy wouldn't affect any of the applications that were running across a very large infrastructure.

Her point really resounds though, this person was referred to all the time in conversation, "well, we probably couldn't get this past X". He was mythical. In general that was often a good thing. Making changes that could have such a broad impact should be well reasoned. But it's also quite annoying, having a nagging voice inside your head that just says "no", seemingly disconnected from the actual source.
Have you found a suitable replacement??
You want me to show you a road that has been fixed and a water supply that is clean? I mean, look at any major city with significant wealth?

I don't understand your argument at all. It's unrelated to people being automated out of a job and the structure of our society changing. We aren't going towards a utopia where everything is perfect, we are talking about a stumbling forward into the unknown, all our crummy parts bolted onto us.

> Your link is basically saying things are getting better, but who knows, they can get worse in the future, [...]

It uses apropriate language regarding future events. Do you have a crystal ball?

A complex system is hard to predict, but you can have an idea of how turning some knobs is going to affect things in the long run.

Also: using caution when talking about the future is what resonable people do; the ones full of certainty about the future are usually polititians of some particular kind.

> Did you know Brazil has more than 400 state-owned companies?

And do you know Canada has 250+?

The USA also has tons of state-owned companies, it just happen that they are owned by states not by the federal government. Most of them are called "public-benefit corporations", which are very similar in the way they operate (often treated as a synonym), see:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public-benefit_corporation

Now getting a proper number is not an easy task though, as each state keeps them independently. I have some numbers for New York if you want to have a look:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_state_public-benefit_...

If every state has at least half of these (~25), you get around a thousand (1000). Yes, three zeroes. And I'm not counting local authorities.

Considering half again (~250), that would push the number to twelve thousand (12000)!

Say what you want about the specifics, but that looks like a very big number for me.

> Like 15s of google?

If 15s of Google is already more factually correct than your sources, maybe you can start there.

Last, but not least, not really into responding all your comment. I've spent some time talking to people defending Bolsonaro. They end up the same way as the guys defending Lula: ridiculed.

Take this as a word of advice: polititians do not deserve your loyalty, specially the ones full of certainty and bringing the "I'll fix everything" motto. I've seen the same thing at least since voting in Brazil became a thing again (hint: Collor). You are not the first and not the last, but you can be one less gullible person to buy into the propaganda. Think about it.

Have a good day.
How do citizens who have limited mobility get around in the area this is enforced in? Huge proponent of these efforts (having experienced car free zones in Spain), but I’m always interested in how accommodations are made for people who have a hard time walking (whether it’s due to age or an ailment).
Heard of friends getting new phones immediately in LA, so it happens here too.
Right. I'd figured that a single person could deal with a bunkhouse and basic food while they were starting out, but that wouldn't always give you room to stockpile stock over the years.

HN and the scientist seem to be in agreement on the work not being that of an individual, why is that ignorant?
There's another side to the equation of course. Drivers have a choice.

If Uber were to "squeeze drivers", drivers would stop driving for them. They'd drive for Lyft. They'd drive for some other company. They'd stay home.

The supply would crash.

They have no choice but to raise prices.
Perl is a superior language. Besides being the fastest scripting language by far ...

Ruby was inspired by it.

Python stil can't do forward references, amongst many other puzzling limitations. I'm sure Python 3's split() improvements were copied from Perl.
This is awesome. Thanks for the resource.
I'm interested in the investors who bought Uber at IPO.

What were they expecting to happen? A company losing money with no sign of being profitable any time soon. If ever. They expected the stock to go up?
But the possible effect of CO2 on climate was not a secret. It had been widely debated for decades even in 1979.

Now, it is true that companies sometimes state widely known information in their annual reports. Things like "the company's profitability could be affected by a change in consumer tastes that reduces demand for our product". (Not followed by any actual analysis of how likely this is, I note.) I assume such nonsense is due to lawyers trying to defend against other lawyers whose ethics don't deter them from filing lawsuits like this one.

And they may never get hired and you still have to fight with them.

I'm, honestly, TERRIFIED of what "thought leaders" may post on hacker news/twitter/reddit tonight, tomorrow, next week. The moment I see one of them suggest something that just wouldn't work for us, I -know- I'm going to have to fight 50 people at work soon who drank the koolaid.
This is my experience too. Dealing with "no men" is usually far easier in person.
It'a plausible but not very probable, at least as far as policy positions are concerned. With the current campaign financing laws, there are legal ways to coerce politicians into voting a certain way. It's more risky to blackmail them.
All sorts of power plants have those large cooling towers which have become symbols of nuclear power plants. To me it looks more like a natural gas plant, what with those smaller exhaust stacks next to the cooling towers.

I wonder, I had a blog and thousands of readers but I made no money with Google AdWords.

It seems to me it would be the same with these other 24 "methods". Yes you can make some money but only few people make enough of it to make it worth their while.

I assume it's like driving Uber you can make some money but you have to work a lot at it.

What the article does not discuss much is how much you should invest in online advertizing to make it a success.

I assume people who write articles like this make some money out of it.
first, while long-haul interstate driving is probably the easiest type of driving to automate, it's pretty audacious to assume that automated trucks will take over the industry any time soon. there are still many social, political and legal issues to wade through, never mind the economic and technical.

but to follow your line of reasoning, what you do is walk up to him and say, "hey, in the next 10 years, your job is going to be automated. every year, your chances of losing your job goes up. what do you want to do? [...listens...] ok, let's set up a transition plan and make sure you're ready when the time comes." and who knows, maybe he's a hobby machinist, and can work for CERN custom-building the crazy one-off contraptions they need.

it's paternalistic and patronizing to make assumptions about the abilities and motivations of millions of people and 'solve' their problem for them. it's how we get misguided social programs that waste billions of dollars (i'm not against social programs, just misguided ones, and they're really, really tricky to structure properly).

Email Conversation Between Aaron Greenspan and Elon Musk
To be clear, I do not have any illusory perception of the personal morality of Trump, it's just that location data isn't enough to really tie anyone to any official or important person. You can just claim it was an intern even if it was the politician was the user and fire the intern. My point is it's not as potentially damaging as say actual evidence of scandalous behavior is.

For example, there was the comedic Ted Cruz twitter scandal in which his account liked a pornhub video featuring incest play. He claimed it was a staff mistake and moved on.

and Linux on the PS3 was used as a marketing point.

You've got it quite backward. First, China halted soybean sales, US never withheld soybeans. Secondly, US withheld licensing Huawei again for tech sales, as in it blocks US companies from selling to Huawei.
Statistics makes predictions too. Indicators are usually predictions - a mean is called an expected value for a reason.

> Erm, with pairwise syncing you still want a "server". I've used unison as my primarily file syncing for a decade, and trying to maintain a spanning tree among partially-available nodes/disks is a pain in the ass. And creating loops means you can't rely on file deletions.

You do not need a spanning tree or loops, you just need to do a topological sort on the nodes/disks and then consistently sync them in that order. There is no magic algorithm that will handle conflict resolution for arbitrary syncing.

States can hardly be considered sovereign entities anymore. They are subservient to federal laws, educational standards, international trade restrictions, environmental protections, etc. States aren't even allowed to leave the federation.

That seems like a pretty valid viewpoint. The higher the cost, the less people with access, and the more likely people go with Apple’s offer.

Besides that, earning a 1 million dollar reward for cracking the iOS kernel is probably a nice ticket to a pretty well paying gig at some security firm.
In his setup, yes, this works as he does not have any phone number tied to the device. He’s using WiFi to connect to the PBX.

In the scenario where you use a cheap cell plan to have an always on data connection to the the PBX you will have to have some method of blocking all of the calls to the device number. I suppose you could have them all forward to the PBX and then your filtering could apply.
I like King Alfred's Grammar (https://people.umass.edu/sharris/in/gram/GrammarBook/KAGramm...). It's designed as an intro (and actually suggests Mitchell & Robinson as a followup) but it's well done. Not that much coverage of oral stuff, but unless you have a time machine you haven't told us about, that's not really the reason people study pre-modern languages.

Edit: misread comment. What I meant was that even with autonomous cars, there will probably be a huge market leader (but it won't necessarily be Uber).
> I don't know where you've gotten that impression. Neither of those two companies got to where they are by having a culture of slowness.

My visibility is limited (don't work at FB/Google), but I have several friends and ex-colleagues who do and I have to say, I have the same impression that it's a company for people to slow down.

They're already at the top of their game and I think assuming everybody there is an A-player is misguided. It's more likely you become another cog in a giant machine with limited reach for better or worse.

There's a lot of politics and while it's true everybody wants a promotion, it's clear to me (at least from my sources) that promotions are more about learning to play a game according to their rules rather than being a fast, high-achiever.

Not everybody wants to have financial resources at their whim. But some people are happy getting to the office 11am, moving a button 1px to the right then 1px to the left once in a while, and then leaving at 4pom. From what I heard, if you're ok with that, a place like Facebook or Google is great.

Again, I don't assume it's the norm, but I heard enough to make me think "slowing down" is very doable.

Yes, in my experience people that say things like "no need to drag politics into this" really mean "no need to drag political opinions that are different from my own into this".
If only all the people being paid to automate regular jobs could automate the government instead using open source software.
Not a lawyer, but my guess is that since people are self-reporting into a text capture tool, quirk is no more liable than Microsoft would be if users were to do this into Word.
Blitzscaling doesn't let you produce monopolies unless you have someone constantly bankrolling the beating down of competitors. As soon as Uber runs out of other people's money then the issue stops. The fact that Lyft exists shows that they can't monopolize.
One of the big outstanding macro questions is how these businesses perform in a recession. If (or when) an inevitable contraction occurs, how quick are millennials to trade a daily uber eats habit for weekly groceries and meal prep at home.
Seems like there is a lot of mutual benefits between Uber and local taxi companies. Didi does this in China, where you can hail a taxi through the Didi app. Not sure if there is any revenue sharing setup but payment is made directly to the taxi driver. Seems like a win win for all concerned.

Apple's warranty and their water damage sensors are absolutely useless. The water damage sensors go off if you are in a humid area and along with it goes your warranty.

I would have to do more research than I care to to prove it, but I'm pretty sure from my personal recollection that the 66% phenomenon ended after this change: https://www.reddit.com/r/announcements/comments/5gvd6b/score... -- assuming my memory is correct, that suggests it was an artifact of the anti-cheat techniques being used. (Not an intended one though, obviously, if you guys believed 66% was legit before the recalc.)

Chez is AOT compiled down to the metal; it's not an interpreted VM or a JIT compiler. My initial reaction was "Oh good. This means Racket will run much faster!" But that's not really true. Some things are faster; some aren't. The real reason is that because Chez compiles to the metal, it makes maintainability easier because less C code is needed.
Of course. I didn't start out my career thinking I'd solve all the problems a given company has. I think that hero mentality is the reason a lot of startups fail, at least in a technical sense. I always viewed engineering in general as a process of abstracting complexity into easily understood components. Why do the hard work of making good abstractions if you don't put them to use by specializing your employees?
