> 80% reliable contraception is of dubious utility.

You realise the quoted reliability rates are per year, not per act? For example, the withdrawal method (available to everyone, for all time) has a reliability rate of 78% for typical use and 96% for perfect use. [1] Obviously, even at 78% reliability over a year, that is of a great deal of utility. 78% of the time a woman whose partner practises withdrawal will not get pregnant over the course of a year.

I'm going to go on a limb here, you'd need to put enough energy into the rotors of: helicopter weight * recovery time (so distance * descent rate) * gravity². that is a big number to get rotor mass * rpm to equal.
Yes, and they will also move the goal posts when you explain why their solution doesn't work.

I feel there is something missing in this whole discussion and that's the question of unsolicited advice. I don't think anyone will feel insulted if the j-word comes out after they have asked for help on a problem.

On the other hand, It's hard not to feel like that question is condescending when it is unsolicited.

I'd probably go with something like "I'm not as involved with the problem domain as you are, but sshd came to mind for me. Could it be an appropriate way to go here?"
This so reminds me of when I hear of J#, and again when I heard of C#. Will it be called R#?

There's a difference between Lean and Instant Legacy Code.
The key difference is focus on simplicity including cyclomatic, compositional etc.
Simple is not the same as simplistic.
Lean as a methodology is meant to remove obstructions and waste in manufacturing. Effort is not a thing that can be wasted. Excess code is the waste. Fixing bugs is wasted time compared to not having them.

"Good enough for now" is a great excuse to keep hacks around and letting them accumulate to the point where code is unmaintainable. Meaning too much code, meaning waste. Even better is "it works now, do not touch" especially when current code base is untested.

Programmers are typically lazy and do not bulletproof anything ever. Thus rampant security issues.

The alleged wasted effort is from the point of view of some manager who doesn't get to tick boxes quicker. (And disregards later massive drop in development velocity while presumably demanding same results.)
This means spotted issues are pushed towards never unless a customer reports them. Which they won't or even can't so you get your software brand recognized as buggy trash - with workarounds being commonly peddled among users and devops.
If you have to complain, it's broken. As a consumer I don't care what the issue is and who the responsible party is.

Unicode is a clusterfuck exactly because the chain is too long and the implementation errors are too easy to make and the world is rife with incomplete implementations.
Did anyone ever get caught by surprise when training on grass and doing the actual bullfighting on the mud that remained after training and initial fights?
Can confirm. Israelis (for the most part) have mandatory service after high school. Joining the Modiin (Intelligence Unit) is great, it's akin to other high value units like Golani and 8888, but it's just a unit. My friend in Modiin is literally a report editor - not everyone in every unit does every thing.

To answer your other question - Sagi is 48, and one of Israel's most successful technology investors.
You can see which bpf programs are loaded in the kernel via the bpf() syscall.

Theoretically it could be used for a rootkit, but the programs needed to loaded as root, and they can't have side effects. BPF has also been around for a long time, and it's in basically all of the nix operating systems.
It is crazy crowded. Everyone else is expensive and a little "too much". This is an affordable side project I made for myself that I wanted to share with the world since I wasn't happy with what was out there. Not trying to gouge people on pricing. Hope you find it helpful!

To your point about who finds these kinds of tools helpful: Yeah, I think viral mechanisms only work once you've nailed core value prop. But they compound very quickly if you do get past that hurdle and can change the slope of your growth trajectory.
JetBrains in particular has done a great job, and the Community Edition of Idea provides a ton of value for free.

You don't understand depression or antidepressants period.

Antidepressants typically take weeks to take effect and have a low efficency rate overall - the reason why so many are approved is because it is a matter of cycling through them to find one which is actually effective and without unacceptable side effects.

The closest form of "abuse" aside from idiots who take any random substances to try to get high (in which case Mike & Ikes or kitchen spices also qualify because it is a matter of intent) is using them to try to make other withdrawal symptoms more tolerable which is far from mainstream even among burnt out addicts.
No one can come up with anything better that provides feedback at least annually for all grades upper elementary and higher, and can be used to compare districts and schools across a state.

I don't really understand what you're trying to say. You're just making a wider point that some people do sometimes loot other things off the battlefield? Yes and that's illegal.

But the examples specifically given in the article from the battlefield aren't looting, and that's why the article doesn't say they're looting. But I won't keep arguing.
SEEKING WORK - Remote - A designer who can code!

Portfolio at: https://gilli.is Over eight years of experience of working in Fin-tech, Journalism, TV and Media, Health, Science, and more. I love working projects that are challenging, the more complex, the better! Fin-Tech case studies available upon request.

I can provide the following for you:

- Design — Whether you need a design from scratch, a redesign, or you're having issues with a small part of you product, I can design it.

- Front-end Development — I can build the design into a pixel perfect product, this is rare among us designers and has proven to be extremely powerful for the end result since there is less wasted effort.

- Analysis — Your users know everything that's wrong with your product but have difficulty communicating it. Often it comes out in anger and frustration. That's where my usability and experience analysis comes in. I'll review your app from an outsider and expert point of view, and give you actionable feedback.

- Free advice — You might not be sure if I am the right fit and I very well might not be. I can help you figure out the best direction to go, for free.

I take my work very serious and put a lot of work into good communication, good planning, and, last but not least, properly understanding your product so that we can produce great results.

Yikes, I hope that Shenzhen is not the future. That's a LOT of real estate to dedicate to charging cars.

High speed rail between the major cities, with decent transport links out to the smaller areas makes so much more sense (if done correctly, which CA and the US in general has proven incapable of doing).
My frustration is with the higher end cards right now. At $700, you get similar performance now with an RTX 2080 Super as you would have with a GTX 1080 Ti two and a half years ago.

My uneducated guess is that this is caused by a lack of competition in that range from AMD. I'm hoping Intel shakes things up when they join the market.

>I was using a "Duck" device today for the first time, and I wanted to look up some information about it online. I typed the first words that came to mind ("duck rope pro") on Google.com, and the #1 hit is an Amazon.com page that lets me buy it.

That is a good example. However, if I may...

You used a device and wanted to learn more about it, you searched using some general terms, as you say Google's top result was the product...but it was the Amazon page that "lets you buy it." Now you could have skipped the Google middleman if you wanted to buy the product and just gone to Amazon (you will find their search isn't much better than DDG based on your search term). All in all you didn't say you wanted to buy it you wanted to learn more, and yet we see Google's biased results is: 1) pushing the sale of the product; 2) their #1 result is Amazon which is loaded with fake results about the product (and honestly would you really trust buying your climbing equipment from Amazon)? All in all they got you a relevant result as the #1 result, but beyond that IMO its a terrible result.

Rates have been very low for a very long time, you would expect to all time high debt with current interest rates. It would be more concerning if people were not taking advantage of the essentially free money.
This historian’s blog is a massively geeky, fascinating time suck. Reminds me of filfre.net, which I also discovered through HN
I see the above comment downvoted, but it seems correct to me. For example, Assicurazioni Generali[0], just emitted a new 10y bond for €1B.

That would increase the total corporate debt of the world, but Generali has a higher credit rating than most governments, so why is that significant?

The whole of 3ZA is new — that didn't exist before the Serious Crimes Act 2015.

However, they do have to actually take action and material damage is defined by s3ZA(2) with "damage to human welfare" (s3ZA(2)(a)) constrained by s3ZA(3).

It is unlikely that the threshold for a charge under S3ZA would be met. The more likely charge is S1 (unauthorised access) or S3A(3) which makes it an offence to obtain any article intending to use it to commit, or to assist in the commission of, an offence under section 1, 3 or 3ZA — you don't even have to actually use the software to be criminalised, merely possessing it is enough provided the prosecution can prove your intent beyond reasonable doubt.

I've thought that many times and always been wrong. At the end of the day, code is just code. After you take the time to understand the environment it's running in, it's not that much different than anything else you could write.

Creating BPF in the first place took a lot of cleverness. Figuring out how to fit it into a massive infrastructure at a place like Facebook took a lot of cleverness. But most of the people actually working on the implementations are just normal software engineers.

Paystack (YC W16) | Engineering Managers, Senior Backend Engineers | Full-time | Onsite or Remote (UTC+1 ± 4) | https://paystack.com/engineering

Paystack helps businesses in Africa get paid by anyone, anywhere in the world. We raised a Series A from Stripe and Visa and are a growing team of 102 friends (30 engineers) with a mission to accelerate digital commerce in one of the fastest-growing economies in the world.

We're expanding across Africa with HQ in Nigeria - where we have our fun offsite gatherings (https://bit.ly/2GkPcZx) - and have remote people from as far as France, Greece, and Turkey.

We enjoy a close relationship with some of the most interesting technology companies in the world. GitHub CEO Nat Friedman recently swung by our Lagos office (https://bit.ly/2xLmGLy) and we also hosted teams from Stripe (https://bit.ly/2XGxK7m)

We have autonomous product teams with dedicated engineers. We deploy JavaScript/TypeScript on AWS, data on MySQL, maintain some legacy PHP alongside small Java services.

We're making great efforts to modularize and improve the quality of our codebases on a quest to embrace distributed event-driven microservices on cloud-agnostic infrastructure.

We're very proud of our product, and we made a promise to ourselves to make our codebase a thing of envy.

So here's what we need; people better than us in every way.

We're a tight bunch of curious people hungry for experienced colleagues to take us to the next level. We crave highly skilled, kind teammates who hold themselves to high standards, and care as fiercely as we do about pursuing collective growth and learning.

A challenge to build a payments growth engine for an entire continent does not come often. It's an especially interesting time to join Paystack.

Our hiring is not very conventional and we try to personalize it. We mainly rely on collaborating on a small project. We'll recognize experience, insatiable curiosity, and an immense passion for sharing.

My name is Serkan. I myself have joined Paystack a little over a year ago when we were less than 35 people and have been leading engineering for the past 8 months. Now it is your turn to become a part of this leadership.

Please don't hesitate to reach me at serkan@paystack.com and let's begin chatting.
Ask HN: How's It Working for Nubank?
Hello there,

I'd like to know how's it working for Nubank? I've recently got a message from one of their recruiters and according to their Medium blog, it seems interesting what they're doing. I've also took a look at the Glassdoor reviews but I see mixed opinions (some of them outdated).

If someone here works for them and like to share their experience it'd be much appreciated.

Thanks!

BPF is completely production safe. So there is no way for a BPF program to crash the kernel, introduce significant performance latency, or have any side effects on the kernel/user space. Obviously, kernel modules have none of those properties.

Also, BPF has been around for almost 30 years, and you're likely using it. tcpdump is basically just a BPF bytecode frontend, for example.

I'm about as old-school anti-Microsoft as it gets (I had a 4-digit slashdot ID!) but even I have to admit that they've been pretty serious in offering olive branches to the broader open source community in the past decade. I'm prepared to give them the benefit of the doubt.

If someone had told me ten years ago that my favourite code editing environment on the Linux desktop ten years later would be browser-tech-based, MIT-licensed, and made by Microsoft, I'd have stared at them like they had just grown a second head. But here we are. Interesting times, man.
I think you are over-generalizing. As an anec-datum, I made this point to someone in 2014 (that FB makes about $25/year/person)and I asked if he would pay $25/year. He said he would pay $25/month. And this is definitely not someone who is going to be bothered to learn anything about installing adblockers. He just happens to be reasonably successful in his non-tech field.
