$450 (15%) plus $270 (9% tax... can't imagine why they would keep the tax or even if it's legal but that's what their policy says) equals $720. The tax is just under 9% but I rounded up. Maybe it's reliable, maybe it's not. I'm not paying $700 or even $450 for the privilege of finding out.
It might not be significant to a baby, but it surely is significant for the mother (presuming dad helps her, and not just sits around the house), and less stressed-out mothers are in turn good for babies and the family in general.
What is that exec's field of expertise? What is he mentoring you about?
Private vs. public isn't a fine-grained enough distinction. It's not private in the sense that most people give it out to lots of people so that they can be contacted. (Of course, in the case of landlines, they're mostly listed in a public directory somewhere but I assume we're talking mobile here.)

BTW, you bank account number is the same way if you write checks.

So they're not private in the way that some data (like health information) that you're only going to share very selectively is private. But it's mostly not public in the sense that you'll likely put it online unless maybe it's a business phone.

Look: I don't trust any of your premises, and you're obviously sold on them and disinclined to trust any of mine. This isn't a productive conversation. You asked me a direct question: "Are you telling me this is acceptable?". My answer is "NaN". "Parse error". "Homer withdrawing into the hedge". I'm not inclined to have a partisan political argument on HN, and you shouldn't be either.
Certainly I would want upcoming developers to share as much as possible, to get as much help and as many pointers as possible. But personally, I want to see your best. In the authors case, he's seemingly improved a lot since writing the early code, so I see no harm in taking it down/replacing it.

But in general, share what you can. Don be embarrassed, even a stern code review will help you improve, but I very rarely see 'stern reviews' outside of Linux Kernel development :)
What's a free, no-account, shared, coderpad?

I've come to the conclusion that he was an intelligence asset. The dog that doesn't bark is the fact that, to my knowledge, there are no on the record statements from the intelligence community which deny he was an asset.

What's even more conspicuous is that there is clearly a strong interest by the public. Even if all these "conspiracy theories" are false, you could get a LOT of viewership just going around debunking them. But it's like complete silence from the traditional corporate media.
This seems to be equivocating the issue.

Yes, pregnancy is a unique experience. For some women it goes away magically after birth; others have lasting physical and mental changes. Whether this is the most profound experience imaginable in human existence is arguable, though I'm inclined to think it's pretty powerful.

However, the "asymmetry" of pregnancy and child birth is neither fundamental nor permanent for the issue under discussion: sharing the load in child raising more equally, and fathers getting to spend more time with their babies. After breastfeeding is over, fathers are perfectly capable of raising a kid without a mother. It's not magic.

It's a confirmation bias problem. Customers who fill out surveys and give direct feedback back to vendors are frequently lower-usage enthusiasts that aren't representative of your overall userbase.

I work on a product, and we include some telemetry. I'm also a strong privacy advocate, and I believe I've done my best within the corporate realm to ensure that the data we're collecting is extremely scoped AND useful for decision making and prioritization. In my experience, there aren't that many of me, but I implore folks to realize that as PMs and engineers, we absolutely do have a say in making sure that blanket data exfiltration and aggregation doesn't happen in our products.

Communicating with your customers proactively about what you're collecting and why is important too. And not buried in some privacy policy legalese: publish a blog post, explain what you're gathering, give examples of how it's driven decision-making for you in the past, and what you're hoping to learn in the future. It goes a long way.

No. The inter-war period was just a lull, as Germany was not occupied and did not feel defeated. The onerous reparations actually incentived Germany to re-ignite WW1 into WW2.

Britain and France might as well have asked for it.

I don't understand the question. Can you elaborate?
1. Cost of living in the bay area (capital of tech jobs) is a lot higher too. 2. Many companies aren't used to the idea of unpaid time off, and negotiating for one can be difficult. 3. Quitting for a year sounds fine until the end of that year, when the stress of job hunting rises. The interview process for most tech companies, even in 2020, is obnoxious at best, and you could be a rockstar engineer and still have trouble landing a job offer for months if luck is not on your side.

You can do it by adding more mass in a fixed inertial frame, or by leaving the mass along and changing the reference frame. You cannot decide which happens, which is an insight from relativity.

So, which was the cause? You cannot tell. You simply can do the math and see that it matches the experiment. Only later do humans try to call it cause and effect, because the math and the experiment match so often and so well.

But this all can change if we find an experiment breaking the models.

Before relativity, most people thought time was constant. They were wrong.

So the above poster is correct in what we usually call cause and effect to simply be stronger correlations that match (current) models.

That can all be changed in future understanding of Nature.

The CDC's full title is: "Centers for Disease Control and Prevention"

Are you saying they have labelled themselves incorrectly?

The CDC's page on coronavirous discusses prevention:

https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/about/prevention.html

Do you think the CDC's list for prevention is pointless? Here's the CDC's list of prevention actions (besides avoiding contact):

* Wash your hands often with soap and water for at least 20 seconds, especially after going to the bathroom; before eating; and after blowing your nose, coughing, or sneezing.

* If soap and water are not readily available, use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60% alcohol. Always wash hands with soap and water if hands are visibly dirty.

* Avoid touching your eyes, nose, and mouth with unwashed hands.

* Avoid close contact with people who are sick.

* Stay home when you are sick.

* Cover your cough or sneeze with a tissue, then throw the tissue in the trash.

* Clean and disinfect frequently touched objects and surfaces using a regular household cleaning spray or wipe.
I posted this earlier about a terrible bug in the "passwd" program on Pyramid OSx:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15802533

>Pyramid's OSx version of Unix (a dual-universe Unix supporting both 4.xBSD and System V) [1] had a bug in the "passwd" program, such that if somebody edited /etc/passwd with a text editor and introduced a blank line (say at the end of the file, or anywhere), the next person who changed their password with the setuid root passwd program would cause the blank line to be replaced by "::0:0:::" (empty user name, empty password, uid 0, gid 0), which then let you get a root shell with 'su ""', and log in as root by pressing the return key to the Login: prompt. (Well it wasn't quite that simple. The email explains.)

(Continued in linked comment. It also includes a link to the story of how Pete earned the nick-name "Gymble Roulette" thanks another fiasco with that same flakey Pyramid 90x.)
The thing is the article is starting out with the sort of network of semi-causal explanations that aircraft designers have and pointing out that this isn't simple causality, isn't just a line of causal events.

But then the article indeed jumps from that observation to the claim that causation isn't something we should worry about - which feels just wrong to me (and I think a lot of people).

I mean, all sort of intuitive explanations feel like causal explanation but, of course, are much more sketchy. But this feeling like causality matters imo, the whole network of explanations that satisfy a human together seems to make things robust, not fragile, whereas AI predictions and models are renown for being fragile. But still, I think a big part of the situation is we haven't characterized fully what humans do here.

Yeah, involving a company called "Shadow" staffed by ex-Clintonites to represent final tallies in the first primary and changing the debate rules upon the sudden appearance of a guy worth $60 billion, and they're off to a great start!

For what it's worth, I strongly subscribe to the maxim of not ascribing to malicious intent that which can be better explained by incompetence.

Most people don't buy real estate considering an 80-year time horizon. Even 40 years is often a bit of a stretch. I would guess that a lot of people only look 15-20 years into the future. Perhaps not a majority, but enough to keep waterfront property attractive and expensive.

Stuff happens like a dead car, hospital stay, job change etc. so its not always firm.
What If You Never Hire Senior Engineers?
Sorry, perhaps the emphasis in the way I wrote that comment made it unclear what I was saying.

My point was that real estate market prices are much more heavily influenced by current conditions, and current demand, rather than hypothetical future conditions. The price elasticity of demand has little to do with whether the buyer believes that the property will flood in future decades due to climate change. Someone who wants a beachfront mansion is probably going to buy it for close to the same price whether or not s/he believe it will still be there in 50 years, just as s/he might buy an expensive car that will similarly degrade and need expensive maintenance exceeding the original purchase price over time.

It would be "simpler" to say, but that doesn't invalidate the other reason.

My tablet behaves differently per application. If I typically have one app open only on one screen I can limit the tablets "workspace".

Context-specific buttons based on app.

And if you're doing that _and have build sufficient app infrastructure around it_ as Wacom has to support fairly custom per-app behavior, the more realistic conclusion is that they're trying to get more info on that - now you can argue about opt in on the "share experience data" privacy setting - and I would agree, absolutely.

But "more simple to say that they're just selling data for money" is a pretty reductionist argument that jumps solely to the most negative possible motivation. "What's the worst they could be doing with it? Selling it? That's probably what they're doing, not making their tool more useful."
If you're constantly getting better at what you do then you'll always look back at your old work with a unique perspective. To some, that might take the form of embarrassment, humiliation, etc. But put in a more positive light, you can look at your work and know how far you've come.

I think we should all behave more like the later; appreciate your growth mindset, and remember 5 years from know whatever you're doing now might be unrecognizable.
