We've been doing it increasingly w/ our users at Graphistry. Think security events, fraud accounts, etc. The reason we do graph to beginwith is to help explore relationships & correlations in data in an explainable & interactive way, and GPU-accelerated UMAP over interactive GPU visual analytics helps us bring a bit of that to metadata that doesn't work as well as a graph (continuous dimensions vs. categorical). Loading in 1M flagged accounts or events and visually drilling in is pretty magical :)

Explainability is still worse than user experiences with our graph and temporal methods, and both t-sne/umap struggle on categorical (the most important aspects of most operational data). The good news is neither problem seems inherent. UMAP is definitely on the shortlist of methods we've been tracking here.

I'm hoping to demo some externally accessible IT examples & workflows here by end-of-month. This stuff is very cool, so we're aiming to make tools here easier / more reliable / more practical for operational teams.

In historical context, RTFM was often times unhelpful.

* The manual was accessible via a set of arcane commands, if it was at all accessible. Poor usability and lack of good search was common. Remembering the incantations required for accessing the manual was a task in itself, which left very little brain space for the actual task.

* The manual was usually a mere list of API calls, with little in the way of big picture explanations, usage examples or tutorials. There was no widespread internet content and search to supplant the paucity of the manual.

* The person asking the question had a task accomplished by combining several parts in the manual. RTFM translated to: read the equivalent of 200 print pages, filter out the 197 pages irrelevant to your task, but keep enough of them to grok the big picture, then aggregate the remaining 3 into a working incantation. And better get it right, or else a stream of cryptic and undocumented errors will come your way.

My suspicion is that RTFM wielding persons often times didn't know on top of their heads how to solve the task either, and were too caught up in protecting their expert status image to admit so. RTFM, you lazy intellectually challenged person vs. I dunno, try RTM.

It's not. People are having a hard time adjusting and overreacting. It's only a problem if you using singular they specifically and only for trans folk, ie singling them out.
The US is the only country where automatic transmissions are anywhere near as popular as they are. If I am not mistaken, in most other countries, the majority of drivers are driving manuals. That alone probably discourages people from texting while driving. Add in narrower roads and cities that were not designed with cars in mind, and I can see this being the case.
Yes, if Bob asks you to use they/them pronouns then you should use they/them pronouns for Bob, just like if they ask you to use the name Robert.

Intentionally using the wrong name or pronouns for someone is disrespectful, and would be considered an HR violation in a California workplace.

A people of an area have a right to self determination. They never had a real opportunity to express that. So, why should they be forced to leave their home instead of just granting them this right?

> That 99-97% of people don't really control their public identity; have you ever seen someone trying to shake a nickname they don't particularly like?

Yes? "Hey, I don't really like being called that." "Oh shit, sorry, didn't know."

> That 99-97% of people don't really control their public identity

What? Sure they do. They were clothing that puts them in a particular group. (Or do you feel you'd have a hard time identifying punks or businessmen?) Or they'll wear religious symbols. Or speak with an accent. Or carry a firearm. Or any number of other external identity markers beyond gender.

> It is complicated and context specific

It really, really isn't. If you are unsure, ask someone their pronouns. If you make a mistake, quickly apologize and move on. Literally end of story.
Ask HN: How do we stop the insanity around gender pronouns in our industry?

Yup, I'm actually a pretty heavy Vim user. I did the whole "remap caps to escape" thing long ago, so not having a physical escape button wasn't an issue for me.

Function keys have been replaced by touchscreen equivalents, but that's not all they are. Some of the buttons act like sliders, so you can actually press-and-slide them (like volume), which is faster than repeatedly tapping physical buttons to do the same thing.

Being able to customize what buttons appear is also great because I can now have a lock screen button that I tap to lock my laptop.

Yes, people will often find it offensive if you use "they" after asked to use "he" or "she".

If someone says "I am a man, please use he/him for my pronouns" and you use 'they' - that would generally be considered at least odd, if not inappropriate.

I don't think that means it's inappropriate to use "they" as the default if no other information exists though.

Yes and no! For one thing he was creating the trends of the time, not following them. Carving up the city with expressways was a proactive choice, done specifically because Moses 1) could control them and 2) favored the needs of automobile owners over the city’s working class. Trains just smelled too much like communism. Building the expressways did an incredible amount of harm and destroyed neighborhoods at a stroke. But they also made it practical to get around the city in a car. Bob Moses is an extremely complicated figure - he was corrupt, power hungry, a servant of the wealthy, a monster in his personal life, would destroy anything or anyone in the name of personal power, but also he built a lot of parks and was genuinely loyal to Al Smith. He’s the reason the city is dotted with playgrounds, and also the reason that thousands of people were displaced from their homes or saw their neighborhoods cut off and destroyed.
I’m not even really upset about what I’m paying, just that it only buys me 4gb and getting 10 would cost another $15-20 per month + tax.

And US/international roaming... is so high that I just go without or buy a local SIM.
One of my previous companies required everyone to share their TrueCrypt keys with the IT dep. for this same reason (smallish company so it was manageable from their end).

The rationale for it not being a privacy violation, which was a concern that came up a couple of times, was that the machines were company property anyway.
Clearly you didn't read my comment, where I explained how land tax will solve zoning problems.
I've enjoyed engaging you. But I don't agree with you.

My first room was the smallest room in the building with just a sink and fridge. I didn't feel I could make a hotplate or similar work in that space.

About two months ago, I moved to a larger room within the same building. I have a private bath and a George Foreman grill now. The fridge died like two days after we moved or something and I don't have the money to replace it.

But the thing is that I and my oldest son both have a serious genetic disorder. Since moving to a unit with a private bath, he has thrown up every single time he has cleaned the toilet.

We didn't want a toilet of our own at first. We didn't want to clean it. Management is responsible for cleaning the shared bathrooms in the building. But I am responsible for cleaning my private bath.

Toilets are not something that see so much use that every single individual needs their own personal toilet.

A large part of the increase in housing costs since the 1950s is due to rising standards and expectations.

In the 1950s, that 1200 sqft new house probably had a heater, but no air conditioning. It probably had a washing machine, but no dryer. Instead, there was a clothesline out back in the yard.

It probably was poorly insulated and had inferior electrical service compared to what we expect today. You didn't need a high electrical capacity and outlets everywhere. You had a radio and maybe a TV.

Home computers didn't exist. Microwaves didn't exist.

Etc etc etc.

A lot that we consider standard and the minimum today was not either at that time. And there are developed countries which generally treat their citizens better than we do here in the US that have smaller homes, smaller refrigerators, etc.

Europe has a lot of household stuff that exists precisely because they expect a high quality of life in spaces that are typically smaller than standard US homes.

I'm not sure why you are so adamant that SROs are wholly unacceptable. I've studied the history of US housing and I have some knowledge of how things get handled in other developed countries. I've also lived this problem space and I'm currently in an SRO.

So you aren't going to convince me that it's inherently evil to have dorm style rooms.

I don't really believe housing is a "right." I believe we need to do what works in practical terms and I don't think that framing is productive.

And lowering our crazy high standards that boil down to "We only build mansions in America" is something that must happen if we are to solve this.

I continue to research how to do that in a way that lowers the right standards because I'm absolutely not interested in creating slum conditions.

Anyway, thank you for speaking with me. But I'm not sure there's any real point in taking this discussion further.
They do, but I’d want to test with more than a couple gb. So I’m looking at $70 to do a month’s test.

Ask HN: Engineers/Founders - what are your reasons to postpone having children?

It would be helpful to hear from other tech people that have good and bad stories about children affecting their career/company.
That number is likely under-reported, and there has been a significant rise in the number of people who feel comfortable identifying in the past few years. A study performed in 2017 found that 2.7% (of roughly 80,000 surveyed) identified as trans or gender non-conforming: https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/14...

I've seen the numbers that range from ~1% (or a little under) to as much as 3%, like the study above.
I can't read the article. Also I support China and don't care about your sinophobic western chauvinist viewpoints programmed into you by the ruling class controlled media. I heard 100 demonstrators got shot in Iraq. I heard there's a revolution in Haiti despite US meddling. Yet Hong Kong thugs get all the media attention. Chinese censorship is good, actually, while censorship in the US is getting worse and is bad. Also it's easy to get around and Chinese people don't care much about it. This is because China is under constant threat from imperialism and outside meddling. The US media is carefully controlled and wants you to support imperialism and its exploitation of the world. China is definitely not an imperialist country and is not coming for you. The Chinese revolution improved the life expectancy of everyone by 42 years. China built itself up without slavery, genocide, and colonialism like the US. Long live the PRC and i wish it good relations with the US. I am glad China is independent and not to be messed with anymore after so much humiliation and colonial exploitation. I support Ferguson not Hong Kong. Thank you.
The comment I replied to was responding to a comment that said:

> It's incredible that pronouns can bring down an entire community.

This is obviously talking about the pronouns that transgender folks identify as. Where is the disconnect?

Riding Light – Traversing the Solar System at the Speed of Light [video]
Consider building a home in Fremont, CA. As of early 2018 you'd pay about $155,000 in fees to build a single-family home, or about $75,000 for a unit of multi-family.

Building a cheap home would be silly. The fees might be several times the construction cost. With the fees already so high, you might as well make the house fancy.

We've also added expensive required features. It seems the voters and/or lobbyists can't bear to see a person living without the latest fancy stuff. I mean things like arc fault interrupters and wired-in smoke detectors, and maybe even solar. That too adds to the minimum price, so you might as well build a bigger and fancier home for a modest extra percentage increase in cost.

You can see it in cars too, and in every other sort of product design. We've decided to put our cost of living out of reach of many people. I'm not saying it isn't nice to have airbags, 3-prong power cords, catalytic converters, and chainsaw brakes... but we're paying for it or failing to pay for it, making the country less competitive (need higher pay) and making people more likely to be homeless.
Yes, and that's why this and other people (like the way Codes of Conduct were pushed in the first place) always smelled to me similar to a fascist coup. You suddenly find yourself you've become a part of the identity group, you're judged a traitor, and you're out.

(I know "fascism" is the wrong word here, but what's the correct word for "fascism-like, but with $random-issue instead of nationality, and without the far-right"? We need that word.)
Health and Care Utilization of Transgender and Gender Nonconforming Youth: A Population-Based Study

Pediatrics Journal

https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/14...

Participants included 2168 (2.7%) students who identified as TGNC and 78 761 (97.3%) students who identified as cisgender.

There's a reason I give such a wide range. Maybe I should widen it to 0.5-3%, but I believe that in the past 5 years we've seen an increase in the number of people who feel comfortable with a trans or gender nonconforming identity.
Except that every new question gets shut down as a duplicate and the older question being "duplicated" is 5 years old, full of obsolete answers, doesn't address the subtle differences in what people are asking, etc.

They want to use the Q&A format to build something Wikipedia-like for each site's subject areas but the incentive structure hasn't lead to Wikipedia-level content curation.

Mailing lists, sub-Reddits, forums... they all end up high duplicative. But people are also paying attention to all those duplicated answers, and the next go 'round they contribute an even better answer, and maybe that ends up in a FAQ or wiki and someone actually puts in the effort to keep it up-to-date.

Or Google figures out the best answer based on being newest, click rates, whatever other voodoo that they do. Which, in my experience, is almost never a Stack Exchange.

It's substantial. Helicopters produce roughly 43 times more CO2 per hour than cars. From a 2016 NYT article:

> The Airbus AS350 series of helicopters, one of the most popular among tour operators, produces approximately 950 pounds of carbon dioxide emissions per hour; the average car produces 22 pounds per hour.

> There are often eight helicopters motoring on the downtown heliport at any time. For those living and working nearby, that’s like 340 cars idling outside your window. Conservatively estimated, the 56,000 annual tourist flights have a carbon footprint greater than 6,000 metric tons.
