Strange to see this marked as 2015. I watched a documentary in (I think) 2004 that predicted the same (or worse) outcome, but attributed it to the collapse of a volcano on one of the Canary Islands because its structure contains vertical panels of water and is thus unstable. Supposedly, half the volcano will fall into the sea, creating a huge tidal wave which will destroy the entire east coast of the US and 20km inland.

Hey, turns out I remembered correctly. https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/amp.theguardian.com/uk/2004/a...

That is not the only alternative to a male-dominated workforce.
There is a term for this (invented by Pauli): “not even wrong”.
A crypto transaction implies a tax event in the USA, so intentionally not supporting. Plus the prices are too volatile to set prices on my own products and have any faith that the crypto will maintain it's value by the time it turns into something I can pay my own bills with.

I don't think people use cryptos as money, more as a "store of value" (read as speculation to get rich quick)
I've always liked that notion (phrased slightly differently),
"Hire for strengths, not to avoid weaknesses."

which IIRC I first came across in "The Hard Thing About Hard Things" (Horowitz)
Sure, but Go on larger boards is still Go. Even here on Earth there's at least four board sizes that are regularly played on.
> Also, it's kind of silly to count something not have being reinvented against it, because things almost by definition cannot be reinvented.

Well, they can, but the opportunities are limited to cultures where the game has not been introduced yet.

I would also point out that we don't know that Go was never invented independently on earth, just that it was never invented and popularized in a manner that left a cultural or historic record of which we are aware. If Go were played by a small clan of prehistoric people using different color berries and a grid scratched out in the dirt, what evidence would be left?

So that REALLY limits the opportunities to cultures that left a significant historic record but had no cultural exchange with china.
Its pretty quickly obvious that I'm the technical lead to new people and they come to me for those things and go to him for 'soft' info. Works very well.

The most recent additions are an interesting mix- I recommended a previous co-worker and she's come in and been a mixed skill set as well- she's older and less flexible in learning new stuff, but customer focused and an old hand with a lot of knowledge.

Two new younger guys with a lot of energy and willingness to learn have been great to work with as I help them learn our stack of solutions. Again a wide mix of aptitudes has been enriching to the team beyond what younger me would have thought. That previous version of me would have wanted a bunch of technical hot shots that were all wanting to learn quickly and excel at everything.
> it is possible to commute into Seattle from east of I5,

I5 runs through the middle of Seattle. Many people do commute from nearby towns east of Seattle, like from Bellevue, or a little place you may have heard of called Redmond.

But I have an extremely hard time believing that Seattle could get an M9 and Bellevue to Issaquah would be unaffected.

Or that within the city, SLU, being west of I5, is affected, but Capitol Hill directly east is OK.
Wrong thinking in my opinion.

"I understand they need to spy on people but not too much"

They don't NEED to spy on people and we have yet to see numbers and actual proof they use the data they collect to actually find terrorists / pedophile / whatever the new trend will be to remove freedom and privacy from the population.
Yup. As our telescopes get better we keep finding Earth-like planets just orbiting nearby stars. And that's only what's nearby, here in this one galaxy.
Yes people who want to print color by color printers. Color printing has been a thing for two decades.
Partial checkout efficiency improvements makes mono repos more compelling for large projects and organizations.

As an individual, I have switched to a mono repo for all of my Common Lisp code and with some adjustments to my Quicklisp configuration I am very happy with my setup.

I am a programming language junkie, and I have it on my low priority todo list to switch to a mono repo for Haskell, Racket, and Hy language (Lisp with a Clojure syntax that sits on top of Python).

I worked as a contractor at Google in 2013 and I absolutely loved their mono repo and web based development environment. I really miss that.
Yes it is. For about 150 you get an empty airframe.

Not OP so not 100% certain, but it's likely to be an Epson Ecotank printer.
Yes, and in contrast with OP’s assertion some states are actively regulating privacy (i.e. California) and there are plenty of statehouses that would likely be amenable to regulating this issue.

It’s a mistake to think about US regulations as purely federal.

The US Senate has previously knocked down the use of private information on US persons by law enforcement [0]. In the past at least there has been a clear distinction between information suitable for the intelligence community and information suitable for law enforcement. The slope is definitely slippery once again but at least there is some precedent for not crossing the streams.

As a general tip, if you travel enough, keep a travel kit that you can just toss in a bag. For toiletries, I just have a 1 quart Ziplock I only use for travel. And I have another little kit bag that contains a bunch of odds and ends I may need while traveling.

I don't keep dupes of everything. My cables and plugs bag is the same one I use day-to-day. But I do keep a general travel pile that has most of the stuff I may need on a trip other than clothing--which varies by location/season/type of trip.
A year ago, I ended up deciding the risk of writing a full-length book without being certain of a market wasn't worth it.

Instead, I started to blog on a range of topics to see what got the most interest from an audience.

Recently, I've started even smaller. I'll tweet about something. Whatever gets a reaction, I'll expand on in my weekly email. Whatever gets a reaction in the email eventually becomes a blog post.

This has the added benefit of building an enthusiastic (albeit small) following of readers who feel like they're on the journey with me and are genuinely thrilled whenever I publish something.

I've also found that people love shorter-form, "condensed" content, and have found a lot of success keeping my email fun & short.

Were I to write a book now, I think I'd keep that in mind and keep it relatively short, entertaining, and to-the-point.

I would suggest to try with / without plugins, it can make a big difference on ARM.

If it feels alright when you don't have any plugin, then try to see which is / are causing the slow downs.

Vim shouldn't be slow without any plugin.
Even Antonin Scalia's opinion in Heller allowed that gun regulation was not entirely forbidden by the 2nd amendment. Exactly how much is allowed was left pretty unclear.

But insofar as some is allowed, the ability of the States to do it is specified in the 10th.
Go has points. An opening move is better than another if, given perfect play thereafter, you end up with more points.
It's a weird thought I admit but as a computer game, I believe "Tetris" could have been independently "discovered". Board size - gravity rules - scoring etc. are arbitrary but there is some fundamental elegance about all possible tetrominos creating a game that is that fun. At the very least non tetris (so no creating and destroying lines) but a game with all possible tetrominos probably would exist.
It holds that Socrates's argument to show that justice is good was nihilistic, not the belief.
Is it really true that collecting only anonymous, stateless data has the same value as stateful, identifiable data?

What kind of insights do we lose? Is it simply just advertisers who lose, or will we also lose other things?

For example, if I can track your path around a city, wouldn’t I be able to make better predictions about traffic then if I could only track the aggregated count of locations that had been visited over the course of a time period?
If I need to print photos, I go to a store with instant printing kiosks. It takes a few minutes to print dozens of photos and it‘s cheap, around 0,20-0,30€ per print (10x15cm).

It may be hard to imagine, but different people have different desires. Some people want the ability to print pictures at home.

Some people would also ask why I have an at home gym setup that all in cost a little under $10K when I could go to gym when I want to work out.
I wonder what the Gantt charts would look like for redesigning the 737 MAX from scratch with new type certificate.

First revenue flight if everything goes smoothly: 2065? There’s like a 20% chance Everett will be scoured to bedrock by a tsunami by then. So I can understand the reluctance to do the right thing.
Ask HN: How do you connect to your docker container in production?
I have a service running in AWS Fargate and from time to time I have to run maintenance scripts, create users in a batch, fix data that doesn't have interfaces yet.

What I do right now is to create a new container with an special command that runs an script, but is more common that something is just wrong, and all the process from test, update, test again could take solid 20min.

I'm always thinking if it's a good idea to start an ssh server and open a session where I can run the commands in a shell and test faster.

How do you solve a problem like this? This are what I'm thinking as solutions but feels like a security risk, but I can't see any other options.

1. Embed an interactive shell directly in the application.
2. Have an ssh server session open, to connect when needed.

Any ideas?
I assume you're offering this as a counterpoint, suggesting I might have just been mistaken about it being a return?

1. It wasn't mineral oil. It lacked the feel, appearance, and odor of mineral oil. The substance was buttery and it would not surprise me if it had been butter.

2. The greasiness wasn't the only weirdness with the device.

3. The device straight from the manufacturer lacked the greasiness and other weirdness, but was otherwise clearly the same product with the same packaging (except some extra bits the one through Amazon didn't have).
That sounds fascinating. What sort of control/GIS software do you use on your laptop? Where would you recommend someone interested in this research to get started?
Those are pretty high ratios - and I agree detrimental to children and very hard on the caregivers.

As we're talking about stem mothers, I was thinking more of ratios I've seen in the SF for more affluent parents:

* Private nanny offering 1:1 time until kid is 2 or so (better option than daycare) or daycare with 1:3 ratio for infants

* Preschool for kids older than 2 with a 1:6 ratio.

My general read is that some childcare providers can outperform some parents. Yes, it's not their kid, but the higher passion for education can more than outweigh that.
Perhaps no peddling at all. Perhaps he just didn't bother to 403 direct access to a folder on his web server.

(I actually wish more sites were doing this; quite often, a directory view is a better interface to the data than the website itself.)
> However, the airline can/will change the aircraft at their discretion

That’s very rare due to different seat configurations. That normally means a flight was cancelled or something else went fundamentally wrong.
The counterpart to this dystopian future is other people taking photos/video without your consent. Just as a social norm I wish that was illegal first, and if it already is, enforced more.

Apple and android should blur faces by default until other people explicitly give consent to be photographed. That's the future I want to see.
Too few players; same collusion situation would occur as Boeing had with FAA.
For me, it is Reddit. I have deleted the app on my atleast 20 times over the last 6 months only to download it again. I used to spend 3 hours on Reddit as the Screen Time would show. It looked like 30 mins though so I don’t know how I wound up with 3 to 4 hours. Is there a way to permanently block an app from downloading on iOS? I felt guilty that I don’t spend enough time with my kids but would spend 3 to 4 hours on Reddit. My mornings began with Reddit, sitting on the toilet and checking how many upvotes I got.

Considering you think Linux has several great faults I think it has done incredibly well.

This might come across as a bit snarky but have you considered that vendors has other options besides Linux?

The alternative to

- having the source code but not being able to install a modified version on your device

might very well be

- not having the source code at all (since it is written with a proprietary os)

Now at least we have the source code in case someone wants to create a similar system.
If I can add on to this, I'd say it's okay for new devs to use a tool such as prettier without knowing how it works as long as they know what it's purposes is and why they're using it.

I remember when I first started programming I often used tools without understanding what they did simply because a guide or Stackoverflow answer recommended them. It led to a lot of problems down the road, e.g. Googling for "how to add two numbers using jQuery".

When I try to teach junior devs, I'll let them use User.find... as long as they understand someone else is writing the SQL for them and that it isn't some magic database tool ;)

> Sorry that the typo and the render errors affected you so much.

It seems to concern some commentators here to a much greater extent, concluding from the whole downvoting dance. I'm old-school, I received my master in mathematics more than 25 years ago. Being in stochastics, I simply spotted an error and also some dispute, the latter from the context in the article. I want to mention, that in the past people had considered a behavior like mine as helpful, rigour was a value and especially when under fire, people were expected to try even harder.

FF 72.0.1 on Win 10 here. If it helps, in the following sequence:

--- snip ---

Bayes’s Rule simply says that for any two non-independent random variables $A$ and $B$, seeing that $B$ took a specific value $b$ changes the distribution of the random variable $A$. In standard lingo, the term Pr(A=a) is called the prior, Pr(B=b∣A=a) is the likelihood, and Pr(A=a∣B=b) is the posterior.

---snap---

all the single capitals (A,B...) appear embraced with dollar signs, all the Pr(...) expression are correct (even after removing uBlock/noScript restrictions)
How would you use it in this context?
this is so disingenous. You're trying to imply that the reason women leave STEM is because they'll have to pump at work.

that's ridiculous.

And I've personally seen plenty of women pump at work.

Lots of things, it turns out.

A mortgage is financial leverage. You only have x dollars but you spend x * n dollars and repay x * n plus interest later. This works out for you if the value of the money you are spending now is more than the value (value is relative) of the money that you repay over the next 30 years. It does not go well of the opposite is true.

The mortgage can be good because it locks you into a fixed payment per month. Rents fluctuate, if rent goes up, you pay more money. Mortgage payment does not go up (other than taxes which can). The downside is if rent goes down, you don’t get to take advantage of it.

So, it’s two very different sorts of bet on the housing market. It’s like a long term bond vs a short term bond, somewhat.

Note well that houses do depreciate, but depending on the area, the land will not. The depreciation in your house takes the form of maintenance in some cases, or a lower sale value than a newly renovated home.

In a major metro, the majority of the value of a house is land value, not building value.

Cars depreciate extremely rapidly, it would be a problem if we had to rebuild houses every 15 years. (Although Japan’s housing market is actually kind of like that and is very interesting to read about, you should look into the issues there if you haven’t already).
I think it's a bit more nuanced than that. If the cookies you use are all required for normal operations that benefit the user (e.g. for login), it's fine to not have a popup.

What is the basis of meaning then, if it cannot be defined in a physical space then it is something that is artificial and to our own consciousness only.
In addition to the fact that your phone is separable in ways your face, Nick Cage and John Travolta excepted, is not, there's the notion of manifest versus latent (or tangible vs. intangible) perceptions.

Humans are visual creatures. To "see" is synymous with "to understand". Vision is a high-fidelity sense, in ways that even other senses (hearing, smell, taste, touch) are not. And all our senses are more immediate than perceptions mediated by devices (as with radiation or magnetism) or delivered via symbols, data, or maths.

This is a tremendously significant factor in individual and group psychology. It's also one that's poorly explored and expressed -- Robert K. Merton's work on latent vs. manifest functions, described as the consequences or implications of systems, tools, ideas, or institutions, is about the closest I've been able to find, and whilst this captures much of the sense I'm trying to convey, it doesn't quite catch all of it.

But his work does provide one extraordinarily useful notion, that of the significance of latent functions (or perceptions):

<quote>

The discovery of latent functions represents significant increments in sociological knowledge. There is another respect in which inquiry into latent functions represents a distinctive contribution of the social scientist. It is precisely the latent functions of a practice or belief which are not common knowlege, for these are unintended and generally unrecognized social and psychological consequences. As a result, findings concerning latent functions represent a greater increment in knowledge than findings concerning manifest functions. They represent, also, greater departures from "common-sense" knowledge about social life. Inasmuch as the latent functions depart, more or less, from the avowed manifestations, the research which uncovers latent functions very often produces "paradoxical" results. The seeming paradox arises from the sharp modification of a familiar popular perception which regards a standardized practice or believe only in terms of its manifest functions by indicating some of its subsidiary or collateral latent functions. The introduction of the concept of latent function in social research leads to conclusions which show that "social life is not as simple as it first seems." For as long as people confine themselves to certain consequences (e.g., manifest consequences), it is comparatively simple for them to pass moral judgements upon the practice or belief in question.

That seems like a distinction without a difference. I hypothetically bought a product that requires a service for functionality - Norton Antivirus. According to the parent poster, Norton should be required to keep their service running.

Should Sony also be forced to keep their service running for PS1 games that had an online component - forever?
This is about neonicotinoid pesticides, and their promotion in the US despite studies showing their toxicity towards non-targeted insects. Some highlights yanked from the article:

- the American landscape has become 48 times more toxic to insects since the 1990s, a shift largely fueled by the rising application of neonics.

- Studies have tied neonics to the disappearance of native bees, butterflies, mayflies, dragonflies, amphipods, and a range of waterborne insects, as well as earthworms and other insect invertebrates.

- migrating songbirds suffered immediate weight loss following the consumption of only one or two seeds treated with neonics
Just talking out of my ass here but it feels likely to me that the natural algorithm would be randomly learn to parse n features, and then do a sort of multi arm bandit process to determine which features to keep and also how to use them via positive and negative emotional/hormonal triggers.

Neural nets use back prop to infer bottoms up what features define what features define what features which are eventually useful for a final prediction. But we don’t really see evidence of backstop in biology.

That is to say, biology probably uses an algorithm to passively identify patterns arbitrarily, unlike neural nets which attempt to identify the patterns that solve for a given task. The latter just theoretically requires a lot of information before a space can be well defined. The former doesn’t.
Is Scala really that prevalent? R & Python for sure.
