That's nice, but you're wrong.

How do you feel right now? Frustrated? Annoyed? Do you think I'm a complete and total idiot?

I don't blame you. I also know exactly how you feel and where you're coming from. When I first wrote the comment you're replying to I initially had a few sentences at the end about how I wish more people on HN would create usernames that clearly belong to women so they could compare and contrast how they're treated and experience the frustration of what I call the "casual dismissal."

There are a lot of things I love about tech and about HN but one of the things that really drives me nuts is how often women's ideas and opinions are quickly brushed off as unconvincing or not fully-formed without any effort to articulate why. It's frustrating to contribute to a thoughtful conversation only to be told your contribution is without merit by a person who can't even be bothered to explain any further than a shallow and meaningless "I'm not convinced."

And it happens constantly. I've seen it happen to others and I've experienced it first hand. And it is so beyond frustrating to participate in a discussion only to have the other person respond with "that's nice, but I'm not convinced."

As you can see, you are not immune. But perhaps if you spent a little time on HN as a woman you'd have a better understanding of what I'm talking about.
I am not sure exactly what your argument is, but it doesn’t sound correct. The differences will be larger in the smaller group, but the expected value for the average pay in a group is independent of its size. That’s why you can use a sample to find out something about a population.
If that's what you mean, then say "coal ash ponds emit more radiation than can be measured outside spent fuel cooling pools".

"Coal ash is more radioactive than nuclear (power) waste" is a completely difference factual statement and is untrue by many orders of magnitude.

Intel's SIMD autovectorizer against NV's SIMT was like bringing a sword to a machine-gun war. The fact Intel's own ispc beat that too should have shown them there was an entirely different class of weaponry they should've been developing.

Only now, more than a decade later they realize their mistake and try to correct the juggernaut's course. Such glacial mistakes in this industry can cast death blows to even the largest entities.
I don't really enjoy exercise at all, at least when I'm sober. Get stoned, use an app to tell me where I'm walking, and wind up at a picturesque spot with music in my ears, though? Or go on a scenic route to a grocery store that is a bit further? These are wonderful things.

> Paper in particular became as valuable as salt or slaves (the two top commodities of the trans–Saharan trade), especially after the eleventh century, when it replaced parchment, and even more after the introduction of Italian paper in the thirteenth, which significantly raised the standards of quality for this type of material. Paper was more practical to use but also more difficult to recycle since, unlike parchment, it could not be scraped and overwritten; besides, it came from farther away than parchment, salt or slaves (all North or West African commodities), and it was more perishable than any of them.
What are you using for the backend? A SPA has no value without one. Unless you're using something like Firebase, pretty good chance your backend is an MVC app. (I think you're confusing server-rendered apps with the MVC pattern)

Not sure what your practice is like with the app. But for a stability practice which is the more common type, I would set a timer and sit with good posture so your skeleton is supporting itself. Focus on your breathing especially within the body. It's important not to meditate from the head but from the body. When your attention wanders and you notice it go back to concentrating on your breathing.

I loved this essay, and own a paperback copy. I also loved his novels Zodiac, REAMDE (a fast, fun read), and Anathem, which was a tough read at first, but I ended up loving it. (I started the first novel of his Baroque Cycle but got bogged down and never finished those ones.)
Judging by the comments here I wonder how many people on HN have actually been to many protests, even small ones. If there's a cause you support, local or global, there may be demonstrations in your city. Get out there and make a difference!
so...pretty stable since Q1 which is when Model 3 deliveries began there.
>The only customer of NVIDIA, contracting NVIDIA to fab chips for them.

Nvidia doesn't own fabs.

The article says nothing about Google contracting Nvidia to make chips for them, only that Nvidia is not particularly concerned about competition from Google.
What about discussing kids or pregnancies? Are they really that difference, given how one derives from one of your banned topics?
Nobody can live those opinions in practice. If the imperative is so strong on this topic, then the imperative would be so strong on so many topics that you'd never be able to go to work.

Along the same lines, if music from passing cars could be heard in the video, how was it not an unauthorized public performance when it occurred in the first place? Why doesn't the music industry go after people who unlawfully distribute their copyrighted material up and down the street at 100 dB?

This sort of event is either strictly incidental, or it's not. Which is it? The copyright industry can't have it both ways, or at least shouldn't be allowed to.

I imagine from his position it's very disheartening to see his coworkers have a strong opinion about the protests, and the horrible injustice that is an unexpected traffic jam. But have nothing to say about the wrongful death of a human being. A human being who was murdered and the murderers saw now consequences.
My God that’s an ugly crank!
Actually, the more I read about it, the more annoyed I get, and the more it proves my original point. There are valid critiques of Tesla forcing people to use bluetooth phone key functionality; especially when the Model 3 was new, it was pretty much a dumpster fire on Android; I assume this must have improved. But it works flawlessly on iOS (1 year and 18k miles later), and BMW's implementation is just so janky and horrible. Sorry for the ugly PDF link.

You need a Samsung phone

You need to pair the car with some app

You have to buy Comfort Access on your car

You have to pay $100 after your first year to use it

You have to hold the phone or keycard up to the door handle.

The one advantage it has over the bluetooth system is it apparently works with a dead battery on your phone.

According to wikipedia [1], the figure is 50,000. The peak headcount was 883,000, but due to mechanization, those 50,000 way out-produce those 883,000. Looking at the graph on that page, coal production is down but is still higher than what it was 50 years ago.

Feature velocity is all over the place in open source. GIMP is glacial. Blender is pretty good. Just a few weeks ago in 2.80 they added: totally revamped UI, brand new realtime renderer, hugely improved grease pencil, etc etc. And if you really want a specific feature you can hire someone to write it for you and upstream it.
When I was about 14 (2002) my parents sat me down and explained that they'd be limiting my computer time to 4 hours on a school night and 8 hours on a weekend day. I cried. I contested, "What am I supposed to do with all of the extra time?". I tried to appeal to logic, "I can watch TV after my time is up, but not be on the computer?".

They wanted me to do anything else because they saw it as a distinct addiction. It was; and I'm still addicted.

Soon I had friends that could drive. I would bum a ride to their houses and use their PCs once I'd blown through my time allotment.

Now I'm a software engineer; and in recent conversation my Dad said to me, "If I knew you were going to make a living like that I probably would have been a bit easier on you about the computer."

Addiction aside, are you using the tool or is it using you? Maybe these girls could be the next digital marketing gurus if they reframed their interactions.

Business idea: Machine learning drives a realistic video and audio avatar of a human therapist to ask occasional "How does that make you feel" type questions.

As part of the session the therapist asks you to rate a few different categories of your mental life (e.g. "How content are you with your life/relationships/family/future on a scale of 1 to 5?) The ratings then can be used for data to develop better questions and techniques and marketing claims (people with 1 or more Virtual Therapy seasons a week experience an X% improvement in indicators of mental health).

Subscription model: 10 bucks a month gets two one hour virtual therapy sessions a week.
You didn't ask me how my warranty service was.

I still think it's an open question whether it would have happened with another manufacturer. My gut feeling is 95% "yes", but design/handling/installation/testing (or lack thereof) could absolutely mean that Tesla is more likely to suffer these problems than another manufacturer.
> Because clojure's spec is nothing new?

You're absolutely right, but dependent types are nothing new, either. They're just new to Haskell. So contract systems aren't new, but they're new to languages some people actually use (or rather, that a contract system is used by a non-vanishingly small set of programmers is new).

> Also, spec's runtime performance is atrocious.

Have you tried writing deductive proofs with dependent types? I think the point was about using spec for development, not for runtime validation.
Here is a good overview of dozens of studies that have performed on subject.

The tl;dr is Cannabis absolutely impairs the core skills you use when driving, but also raises your awareness of your impairment so those under the influence tend to drive more cautiously. The result is in simulator studies cannabis shows a clear negative effect, but in functional studies, its more of a wash.
> Assault rifles, which are protected by the Second Amendment.

Perhaps that's your interpretation, but the second amendment doesn't specifically allow or disallow any particular type of armament (an armament being defined in the dictionary as "military weapons and equipment").

Reasonable people agree that not all military weapons should be able to be owned by civilians - I don't think anyone serious is coming out in defense of civilians owning intercontinental nuclear missiles, for example. Where the line is drawn is a matter of opinion (and disagreement).
I mean, technically we don't who Satoshi is. Maybe it was Nvidia all along.
> It’s obvious that the police will want a device that produces more convictions

If a defendant ever challenges the use of the device, an inaccurate (particularly, false-positive-producing) device is more likely to be thrown out discrediting the device class, not just the individual case, and potentially forcing after-the-fact dismissal of prior convictions.

So, avoidable false-positives isn't necessarily an approach consistent with maximizing convictions.
This was never done automatically.

In fact, I did it manually to enable umatrix and tridactyl on AMO as I hate not being able to use my regular keybindings everywhere.

I'm doubly pissed at Mozilla here. I'm tired of being baby-sitted. Quantum killed half of what I was using before. And trydactyl still cannot do half of what previous extensions could do.
>I don't know what 'TFA' is

TFA is "the fucking article."

It's derived from RTFA - "read the fucking article," something said when someone makes a comment that is addressed in the article. However "TFA" doesn't have the same rudeness that "RTFA" has and doesn't imply anyone didn't read the article.
you cannot conclude from that article that driving under the influence of cannabis is dangerous.

The literature on this is .... not great.
What We Learned About Feature Flags in Five Years
If you don't care if people are offended, then you're effectively saying that you give zero weight to their arguments and opinions. That's not a particularly good argumentative tactic and is a great way to ensure your argument is shut down from the get-go.

This isn't an implicit ultimatum either, this is about understanding and addressing the full context of a situation. If you're ignorant of certain aspects people aren't going to mind, but if you willingly try to ignore those aspects then people are going to wonder why.

It's like for example: Trying to talk about how to fix a large problem in a code base without understanding why code functions the way it does. If you just do a large scale refactor, then you break other portions of the system that expected certain behavior and now you have to do all sorts of retrofitting.
Q1 averaged 852 / month.

July was 733 / month, or a drop of 14%. That's a double-digit drop from a company claiming to have a growth story.
It was replaced without a problem during the only service visit I've had. In fact, they even had the glass in stock. (it required replacing the entire rear/roof glass to the b-pillar, since that's one whole piece).
Seems like a very pertinent distinction to modern democracy / society.

Unlike in the 1800 when everyone could just go the the town square or publish their own pamphlet and have almost equal reach, today most discussion happens in 2-3 outlets: Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.

Whether those started as private companies, whether those are not public goods, etc, should be irrelevant. They have de facto captured a big chunk of the conversation that shapes the public opinion.

I'd argue the same was true for TV and newspapers in the 1900-2000 -- they had a disproportionate power of shaping public opinion, and a monopoly of control on it. That was bad -- and it was already said that "he who controls the mass media, controls democracy". Even if people still had the "first amendment right" to open their own newspaper (as if that's practical), or whatever.

But at the time, at least, newspapers and tv stations had limited pages and run time, expensive production costs, and it was at least reasonable that they couldn't include everybody's voice.

Today, services like Twitter, Facebook, etc, not only have small marginal costs for including another voice, but they encourage and actively want to add more (all) people in their platform. So there's no excuse (from that point) of censoring people.
This is a tired argument that comes across as astroturfing

That's valuable to know -- thanks -- but nevertheless, demonstrating that if you can get onto the avionics network you can trivially compromise it is still valuable, no? There may be discovered other ways to access the avionics network (besides the IFE) that no one realized, or thought to protect.
Vast wealth can get out of hand, sure.

But for the most part, we as individuals earn money to better our lives. Get a better education, live in a better part of town, raise kids safer with better food etc. Its not a game, its life. Its also a mistake to say "money shouldn't determine important things like who gets to go to a good school", because money is exactly designed for that. Its not supposed to be just a game where money only buys toys and entertainment
That is probably an incorrect assumption. Corn farming requires land, fresh water, and fertilizer - all very expensive. Growing seaweed requires none of those things, only ocean space and a proper farm system.
The basic functionality of a breathalyzer is to take a given volume of an exhale and measure the concentration of a given particle as an indicator of intoxication. So long as an individual's results are greater than or equal to 0.08 then it becomes an unacceptable risk and they are considered intoxicated. If this process is going to test in a similar way, there is no need to test specific doses or profiles because the concentration isn't variable, it's a static amount. With alcohol, we don't consider weight, or what they had to drink, or how long they've drank so why should this be any different? All that needs to be defined is what the law considers a concentration which should represent a level where the risk reaches an unacceptable percentage.

There's nothing wrong with having a prescription for marijuana, even if the "prescription" is really just a state medical license provided by a sketchy doctor that you slip 200 USD once a year.

Am I the only one who doesn't give a fuck?

Is it really a subject?

And I'm not saying that code aesthetics doesn't matter, I tend to obsess over good typography and alignment, but I use both tabs and spaces, switching depending on the code-base/context, without even thinking about it.
Keep it and turn it into a track car.
Sure, I can try! One part of the Rails "magic" that the framework tries to abstract away from an app developer is code loading. So, instead of each file in your app needing to explicitly specify using "require" statements which other files it needs to run, Rails uses Ruby to automatically "require" files for you. This system is dependent on constant names and namespaces matching file names and directory structures. So, a constant (Rails model) like "Sports::Player" used in a controller might be found via lookup automatically in "app/models/sports/player.rb".

A system which does this has been a part of Rails for a _very_ long time, and Zietwerk is an upgrade to it by a longtime Rails contributor that fixes some of the previous downsides and gotchas.
I think the biggest and most obvious control is missing here -- the company they work for.

Much more likely is that companies that pay more, for whatever reason, insist on spaces rather than tabs as a required coding style.

A quick Google search reveals spaces are used rather than tabs by Google, Twitter, Mozilla, Facebook, Microsoft, Apple... so that already seems fairly suggestive as the cause to me.
> Why did the 13th amendment -- which abolished slavery, make an exception for those convicted of a crime?

Because conscripted labor was an independent tradition going back thousands of years. Compare the legal status of compelling people to work on the roads.

There was also an exception for the military, though that wasn't written into the 13th amendment.
and it wouldn't. You explicitly have to install the native messenger and run fixamo, which in the rc file for tridactyl explictly mentions what it's about to do
That is why many states follow a positive breathalyzer test with a blood test. In my state, you can refuse them both, but you lose your license temporarily for doing so. I think that's fair. I understand some are skeptical about giving blood to the police, but if you can't prove you're not drunk or high after a positive reading on a less accurate device, then you aren't allowed on the road. The risk is too great for everyone else.
> I can tweak my IDE to render a tab as however many spaces I like

Sure, IDE's are easy (though many people use multiple IDE's and/or editors across multiple machines).

I've also got a couple diff tools, a few VCS's, also the online parts of VCS like web-based pull request review UI's.

Tabs also tend not to play as nice with vertically aligned elements, if you prefer that for things like say the '.' on multi-line chained method calls, or longer function parameter lists.
