I love scientific studies, illustrating the standard distribution or exponential long-tail nature of whatever biological/ethnical/identity based feature they are studying.

Then, I hope that everyone makes the obvious blunder of categorizing the target population according to the results of the study. Because it’s “scientific”, am-I-rite?

Finally, I harvest the crackerjack-smart, hard-working people from the (now) under-appreciated group.

My team wins; the scientism-ists get the lazy offspring of the wealthy elites protected by “science”.

Everyone wins!
good one!(americans will not get it)
I'll be attending. I made a small umbrella patch (it's in the style of the HK flag) that I'm going to pin to my t-shirt both days. I also think that an #eyeforhongkong style approach would be very successful, but is hard to coordinate.
I'm with Starling Bank, and along with the usual Mastercard numbers (card number, expiry, CVV etc.) it has the account number... though not the sort code, strangely. I guess you could look it up if you wanted to, but you'd need to know this 8-digit number with no label was the account number. Weird.
Although aimed at parent-child communication (and maybe because of it!) P.E.T. (parent effectiveness training, also a long established book/communication system) is quite good in this regard, when there's a great difference in power between parties.

For example an additional thing that it stresses is a bigger need for the person with more power, to identify "who owns the problem", before choosing how to communicate about it and also how to help people make their own decisions/find their own solutions.
Meetup has taken at least 18M of funding. That means sustainability is not enough, they have no choice but to bet the farm on being a $100M company.

A competitor can take no money, and they can re-use much of Meetup’s product-market-fit research. The economics are totally different.

From a technical standpoint there’s no reason you couldn’t run a “meetup-lite” for a couple hundred bucks a month. It’s just web forms.

Without VCs to impress you could get by with a lot less razzle-dazzle.

You misspelled “bank account.”
Companies have done this since companies were a thing. Consumption is always political, always social.
It’s funny that you’re complaining about freedom of speech violations while demanding that companies be forced to produce anti-Chinese media against their economic interest.

The first amendment protects people’s rights to shill for China in exchange for $$$. That’s what freedom of speech actually means.
Actually, the best thing you could do would be to not send someone pictures of yourself you wouldn't like shared. Also, the scammer could just add them as friends first.

I think this is more of a measurement of how much effort people have spent implementing the benchmark, e.g. Based on a cursory look six months, a few of the rust ones seem to have been implemented with some parts from scratch rather than just hammering it together like the D implementation.

There was also one where dmd was faster than ldc, so something must be up somewhere
Having worked in game analytics (not Blizzard), I 100% believe that yes, they track the number of installs, uninstalls, launches, daily/weekly/monthly active users, etc.
I think artificial muscles that are more biomimetic with better power-to-weight ratios are going to make a huge improvement in robot capabilities at some point. Especially for humanoids.
Raspberry Pi are created for this exact purpose, and to think the school isn't giving everyone one to educate on basic computer science is beyond me. If you eventually learn trigonometry in math within the public education framework, I see no reason why people shouldn't be educated in more basic and practical things like computers.
Funny that no one is talking about voting with their wallet by not buying Chinese products.
Personally or on behalf of a company? I ran two in the US and folded due to legal pressure.
I've been spoken to by dang many times and I can count on one finger the time I've actually disagreed with the warning I received. Every time dang has stopped by one of my comments to remind me of the rules, I believe it has made me a more thoughtful participant in the conversations.

It does suck getting moderated and it does feel like I'm being picked on, especially if it's a heated conversation. But for as busy as HN is, it still feels cleaner than a lot of other places on the web. I really appreciate that and it's why I keep coming back.

For the OP: there are many places like HN around the Internet with different moderation policies. Sometimes when I feel like I need to take a break from HN for whatever reason, I move to those other sites for a while. There might be sites out there you agree with more?
That's not true. It's spilled over in Overwatch and even the NintendoSwitch subs.
Interesting approach. I would have the wallet given to the bank. The bank can't disclose the phone number of the customer but will be happy to give him a call and tell him he can pick it up in the branch.

I remember vaguely having given a wallet with some ID and a business card of a medical doctor to the office of the doctor. They will never disclose private information but will call the owner himself.
I tend to agree with this. I struggle with non-violent communication. All the violence I've experienced in communication has been high social skill people passive aggressively using "appropriate channels" and "emotional intelligence" to harm me. I tend to prefer directness whether it's up or down the power ladder, and yet the trend is away from that overall. It's sort of minority rule too, where most people prefer directness, but a few people really hate it and force "non-violence" on everyone. Of course, the forcing bit implicates violence...
You moved the goalposts there.
It depends on the organization. Some larger financial institutions are sometimes more likely - or even bound by internal policy - to simply trigger their standard card-cancellation procedures.

Instead, one could present the financial institution with the hypothetical question, and then only give the specifics if the institution's policies are non-destructive.

If the finder is a decent sort, and has the time to try alternatives, I'd rather get the cards back intact than to have to do the cancellation dance.
Can’t they just put up bollards[1] like most places do when they want to restrict traffic?

Some systems require the vehicle going through the retractable bollard to have high clearance in order to make it less palatable to circumvent.

[1]Pneumatic bollards can retract and can rise to become a barrier.
Well worth reading for anyone making decisions about information to collect from your users.

I wonder how many systems that collect sex/gender info actually need it. I'm failing to think of a reason my driver's license needs to specify my sex... What decision is informed by that information? We don't have different sex/gender based laws for driving in the US.
But even you are implicitly making the case that your cohort of Blind users is likely the same as in others.

To whatever degree that Blind attracts a biased sample within a company, that is true everywhere and even so Blizzards results are a strong outlier.

Your excuse would only be plausible if the Blind participation bias only affected Blizzard in some way.
xi_pooh_5g
Right. These are simple, tractable problems, and there are successful models the world over. That people fight so adamantly against something as straightforward as voter ID indicates ulterior motives.
I reject the premise that any communication can be "violent". If someone's conversation manual begins with the expansion of violence to cover speech, the philosophy behind this manual is likely so alien to me that I won't get anything out of it. I favor direct and specific communication that doesn't obfuscate or insult anyone's intelligence.
As a roboticist what do you think of my theory that what's missing is more biomimetic artificial muscles with greater power-to-weight ratio?
Ah, meddling central-planners preventing hard-working families from doing what it takes to achieve their dreams...

Don’t you just have to shake your head at people who’ve literally never had to accomplish anything life-and-death in their entitled little lives, making rules to protect us?

It brings a tear to the eye.

I think the suggestion is that they may not be individual employees stating their personal opinion, but accounts created by even just one employee (who can create multiple accounts) under company direction.
As a Bulgarian I very much agree with the observations of the article: a lot of us aren't really sure things are that much better than before.

[Mostly] free market and freedom of expression are highly appreciated. Everything else is all over the place though. True democracy just isn't in the hearts of the politicians around here. It always gets twisted into oligarchy and oligopoly. No idea how to fix it but it's observable that every nation has their own slightly (or very) skewed idea of what democracy is.

> I have no idea what you're trying to say here.

I'm suggesting that the value of wanting the best "stunt double" to make the best "movie" is in tension with thinking about job positions as opportunities to correct injustice, and that consumers around the world vote on this matter with their wallets. People have the same narrative for software positions and minority outreach programs.

But when you can have both values with no tension, then yes, have it all.
> demanding that companies be forced to produce anti-Chinese media against their economic interest.

What? I never suggested this.

> The first amendment protects people’s rights to shill for China in exchange for $$$. That’s what freedom of speech actually means.

Right. And China discovered this fitness gradient.

Luckily we can use taxes on negative externalities to adjust for the damage that is being done.
I suppose I was aware of that at some point but had forgotten. It's interesting that I feel so much better about Ecosia. Maybe marketing?

> It's less than trivial.

It's doable, but it's certainly not trivial. And no, it's not just "a slip of paper" it's far more than that when you consider all the human, bureaucratic and technical infrastructure, systems and support that would have to be behind it.

Sure, there are trashy and unreliable online aggregators like mylife and their ilk that can provide all kinds of dubious info. I am talking about something much more rigorous and reliable.

There are steps in the right direction occuring now (like Real ID) but even these half-measures have been years in the making and have years to go.
In high school, they're based around having time after school for sports practice and other extracurriculars, mostly, from what I understand (I know a lot of K-12 teachers). That's why so many districts still make elementary schools start like 2hrs after those kids are wide awake and already having some of their best hours of the day, while the high schools start before the damn sun's up for about half the school year—not enough buses to start everyone at once, so if you want the high school football players to have a nice long stretch to practice in the afternoon, you have to start high school very early and other schools very late.
Haven't used Twitter for a year or so now, but last I checked, if you use their Lists instead of the main feed, then tweets are still ordered reverse-chronologically.

But in general, agree with your sentiment.
Hell yes I support waterboarding terrorists. There's no way the definition of 'terrorist' will ever change. There's no way it will be ever done to me.

Hell yes I support civil forfeiture with no due process. There's no way it will be ever done to innocent people.

Hell yes I support the executive branch getting more and more power. There's no way someone terrible would ever be the President and use that power.

and now:

Hell yes I support corporations policing free speech. They are on our side! There's no way it will ever be done to me or people I like.

do you get the idea?

Am I a fucking terrorist sympathizer if I speak out against torture and extrajudicial indefinite detention? No. I don't give a shit about them, but whatever I support done to them might be done to me.

Am I a fucking Nazi sympathizer if I speak out against abuse of power by unaccountable private entities? No. I don't give a shit about them, but whatever I support done to them might be done to me.
ERP of base station: up to 500W per channel.

Except it wasn’t just “a private Russian company”. It was a coordinated, state-sponsored attack using multiple channels both online and offline, to cause disruption in the United States, including in the last Presidential election.

That is very different from a company under the jurisdiction of the US limiting the influence of people who break their rules.

Ask HN: What software do you use to manage contacts?
Google Contacts has privacy problems, and all Linux and iPhone address book software I've found is under-powered or has a bad UI. Does anyone have a contact management set up that they love?
TBF, It's often (and in this case, I would imagine much) easier to build it up from scratch.

Imagine transforming the massive department that was the catalog service, and it's not even about the physical difficulty of transforming the department, the political resistance at the time will be crazy. Multiple billions are wasted for political games every year in large companies, and it's not clear and cut as 'what if we just do this' because hindsight is 20/20. People and especially management carry a heavy inertia.
You can just put the !g at the end you know, also I'm not sure why you are copy/pasting?
I would wait to see if an actual drop in game sales occurs before claiming this as a victory. The gaming internet is an perpetual motion outrage machine but very few of their cause celebres actually translate into any kind of economic impact for developers and publishers.

Also take a look at Blizzard’s stock price to see what Wall Street actually thinks of the current mess (spoiler: it’s still within touching distance of the the YTD high).
Censorship doesn't mean American bill of rights, that's very primitive way of thinking. World's a bit bigger you know.
I have programmed in both for years (commercially) and don't understand the comments about D being like C++. This is a night and day difference to me.
No question that people who are in that situation need to have some other defining traits that an admissions committee might find attractive, but I'm not sure if that sends a broad signal to people like, 'Don't pursue finance, we have enough of those people already'.

Do any of these articles track what effect this kind of messaging has had on the number of MBA's choosing specific concentrations?
Taxing speech you don’t like is the exact opposite of being pro-free speech.

So to be clear, we can’t have common sense non-racist voter ID laws because the Republicans won’t allow it (and defeating entrenched interests is hopelessly intractable, so why bother), but somehow there will be more political will for no voter ID requirements at all?
You could run your own mail server easily if it was just send/receive. But you need spam/virus protection and that's 99% of the time spent on it.

My entire family would be on the bus a full hour before dawn at -20C, and wouldn’t return home until dark for 6 months of the year.

Learning to bear hardship isn’t a tragedy, in a loving home. One of these things is the important factor to focus on, and one isn’t.

As usual, bureaucrats focus on exactly the wrong one.

The problem with hitchhiking is that you don't pick someone at random, someone decides to pick you up.

If you pick a random person, they'll almost certainly be a normal, honest person.

If you advertise yourself with a giant sign "I WILL GET IN YOUR CAR IF YOU STOP", then a small percentage of random strangers, but a large percentage of opportunistic criminals, will stop.

I'd argue she got very lucky.
This isn't a fundamental cultural difference. This is a tyranny that brokes no dissent and murders its people to stay in power.
Um, from the point of view of the telegraph/coal company, they probably would have said that they were protecting people from dangerous agitators and keeping the peace.

But really, by your logic, they have no right to report on union organizing, because it's a private company and they should be allowed to cover up human rights abuses, because the first amendment does not protect it, or something.
That's genius.
When I change a CSS property in the Rules tab under the Inspector, and I press ctrl/cmd+z, it doesn't set the property back to what it was before I changed it. And obviously ctrl/cmd+y doesn't go forwards.

It's amazing how such a small change makes it so much more difficult to use the Firefox dev tools compared to Chrome. Sometimes I just want to toggle between CSS values and see what is changing, or undo a few changes I made.
Lets all hope the red shirt guy comes back this year.
> CloudFlare banned a site that was far, far outside the American political mainstream.

Were this the 1950s during the Red Scare, people would have said the same thing, except the thing that would have been "far, far outside the American political mainstream" would've been Communists, leftists, pro-unionists, and other members of the political left. You know, the political wing you are a part of.

Want to reconsider your opinion? It's not as if a swing to the right couldn't happen again as the past few years of elections have shown.
For my wife, who works in sales, the value in business school was rounding out her knowledge. She went part-time, so it was all about the content, not about networking quite so much. It also was an order of magnitude less expensive with no (financial) opportunity cost.

Yes, you learn a ton on the job. On-the-job learning also leaves gaps and blind spots; sometimes even an excellent working knowledge has gaps that you don't even know exist until you crack open a textbook. The MBA provides structure, motivation, discussion, teaching resources, access to documents you otherwise wouldn't, but perhaps most importantly, it forces you to deep-dive on topics that maybe you haven't yet encountered or frankly didn't feel interested in.

At least for part-time, I wouldn't go in expecting it to change your life; but it is certainly an education, and one that's directly applicable to many aspects of a career. There's no way you'll learn nothing.
Some classes in my uni started at 7:45am. I never went.
I worked at a university a while back. Found a student's wallet in a park one day while running, but I couldn't find any contact info. I looked them up in the university database to find their phone number and was able to meet up to return the wallet.

Yeah that is really going to be interesting. My friend linked [0] to me. I'm not sure if it's getting around to a lot of people, but some of the speech/plans in the document are likely concerning to the organizers. I hope they don't overreact in anticipation.

Here is a cold dose of perspective for you:

http://ev-sales.blogspot.com/2019/09/global-top-20-august-20...

Up to August, 2019 the Leaf has sold 46,864 units making it the fourth best selling battery electric in 2019. That's twice as many as the Tesla Model X. The Tesla Model S didn't make the list. Even the Volkswagen e-Golf has outsold the Model S so far this year.

Set that against the reality that Toyota sold over 10 million cars in 2018. Volkswagen also sold over 10 million cars in 2018. 86 million cars from all brands in total. Electric cars were only 1.26 million of that total:

Battery electrics are a small segment of the market. They are niche cars.
