My wife and I found a great apartment to rent. It was spacious, quiet location, reasonable rent. We were happy for a few years.

Then the owners sold the complex, and the new owners set out to remodel everything, very much against our wishes. Construction crews started entering our apartment. They came in while we were out, laying down plastic sheets and moving our furniture around. They sometimes came in while I was sleeping, and while I was getting dressed. It was humiliating: I felt stripped of my privacy and dignity.

Buying allows you to control your property, but more significant to me is what renters must endure: arbitrary changes to their home, allowing unfamiliar men to enter their homes uninvited, etc. As a homeowner, nobody enters my home uninvited, unless they have a search warrant!
One major bank set up an online payment service in the UK about ten years ago which allowed you to load money, fee-free, from a credit card, and then pay other people. Of course, said money, once loaded, could also be withdrawn back to your bank account, but why would anyone do that?

WHILE airmiles < MAXINT do { load, withdraw, pay card bill }

Round and round the money goes. :)

Obviously the fee-free aspect was unusual, perhaps an oversight but more likely an attempt to get some critical mass in the online payments market which, at the time, was primarily only PayPal and a UK outfit called "NoChex" (which of course DID charge a fee.)

Eventually a loading fee did arrive, and a little later on, the service closed up shop entirely.
I absolutely agree. I was only relaying that maybe if we focus more on the jerk part, and less on the specifics of the brand of jerk we might help solve the problem of all the people who have to deal with jerks in this industry, not just one specific group.
Fair enough. I'll give one more story as to why I like cabbies though, after a heavy night in Bethnal Green, I hailed a taxi (hungover) at around 6:00am, told him to drive me to East Sheen and said I'd pay him the next day because I had left my wallet at my friends. He said fine, took me home, and came to my office during the week to collect the money. Nice guy. We've obviously had different experiences with them...

How is 50k lines of build declarations even possible?
CoreOS is essentially built for running containers, which is how Google have described the Debian 7 image deployed in this preview. CoreOS has a number of features that are really geared towards running it as a bare metal OS (won't elaborate on that here, their docs do a good job of explaining), which is not the use case here so can't really blame Google for going with something more familiar (to them).

Article conflates feminism with women. Not all women are Feminist or seek to be. Women are human beings and should be treated as such. Feminism is an ideology and should be treated as such. Why confuse people by taking about them like they're the same thing?
Thanks for asking, it's an important point:

In U.S. medical and feminist academics (and elsewhere,) "male/female" refers to sex: XX/XY chromosomes and the resulting organs, body type, etc, resulting in human sexual dimorphism, to which there are rare, exceptional cases, where the person is called intersex.

"man/woman" are common terms colloquially referring to male/female people (you probably know this). In the context of certain feminisms, the words refer to people born male or female, and then raised into the gender roles defined by society as appropriate for male and female people. These gender roles are what are invoked by words like "manly", "womanly", "sissy", and other "gendered" words and insults.

In other feminisms, the words refer to people who "identify" as one or the other, where this identity is either "innate" or otherwise fluid or something. Full disclosure, I sympathize with the former sort of feminism, so I'm not exactly the best person to give a comprehensive synopsis here.

Judith Lorber's "Gender Inequality" is a book that goes over individual feminist movements and waves, without necessarily pushing any of them on the reader. It's not too long, I recommend it.

2 Intelligent ways to keep your passwords safe
Well, you can call a cab in London too. What the drivers are understandably pissed off about is that they spent 2 years developing the navigational knowledge to get people from A to B quickly, so they could get their cab license, and now these other people are competing with them without havign had to had to meet any particular standard to start doing so.

The London cabs aren't just a monopoly as in a lot of other places, they have a very strong meritocratic basis. I was extremely surprised when I came to the US and cab drivers expected me to know how to get to my destination. I said to one 'isn't that what I'm paying you for?' and his response was 'I ain't no computer buddy, find it on a map.'

Of course the problem for London cabbies is that cheap GPS makes 80-90% of their knowledge redundant, so their hard-earned skills have literally been automated away. However, there needs to be a better response to this from the tech community than simply dismissing those skills as worthless. After all, it would be foolish to dismiss the effort required to get a medical degree just because of the existence of WebMD. This is more complex than a simple monopoly/disruptive competitor situation.

Yes, we'd love to support those as well.

The agent https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/container-agent and manifest format https://developers.google.com/compute/docs/containers#contai... are not distro specific, and the glue to start them on boot could be easily adapted to other distro.
As an aside, Twitter's new-ish mute feature solves that problem. If someone you don't like is being retweeted by someone that you do, you can mute the person being retweeted without affecting the other content from the person you follow.
The poster was just trying to find something to attack.

If you read the wiki article here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender

You can see the following quote: _Depending on the context, the term may refer to biological sex (i.e. the state of being male, female or intersex), ..._

LGBT has a tendency to use the term gender to mean gender roles, where the lines are a bit more obscure. I believe psychologists do as well.

But in every day vernacular, gender refers to sex for most people, and as the wiki article suggests, it's completely acceptable to use it in that manner.

I'll repeat what I said before, the poster was just looking for something to attack.

This is talking about a completely different primitive (indistinguishability obfuscation) so FHE is fine. In fact this is talking about an exceptionally strong characterization of IO (virtual black-box) which is not used in current research on the subject.

Because you're a single-issue commenter lately. You don't miss opportunities to jump in an HN thread about gender relations.
Sure, but the OP was discussing price first, not features.
I ran across this and thought a discussion of the techniques would be interesting. I don't see the results themselves generating interesting discussion though.
How do I find short-term, contract work?
Hi HN,

I'm a college student who needs to make some money this summer. I've been trying to figure out how to find short-term, contract work. I can work full-time for the next three months, but will have to stop when I return to school.

I unfortunately did not have time to apply for internships during the school year. I've been trying to apply to traditional job postings, but find that most of them want a long-term employee. Are there any good sites out there that focus on hiring developers for short-term, contract work?

I have previous work experience as a developer. I've freelanced for two companies at about $20-25/hour doing full stack web development. Thanks for any advice on how to find short-term, contract work.
I don't know that this was intended to preclude hand washing.
As someone who's not familiar with MetaFilter, my initial impression is that the design feels outdated and I can't quickly identify how the site works or the value it provides.

I'm sure that over time I could grow to love MetaFilter, and possibly even find value in the qualities that give me this impression. But perhaps Google has an algorithm that lowers the rankings of sites that scare away casual users who stumble upon it from a Google search result (High and/or quick bounce rate maybe?).

Look at the most advanced markets suffering from this problem: GCC countries.

Most of their residents have the very latest devices, are at least as tech-savvy as your average Western consumer, and have disposable income. We conducted hundreds of different experiments, and most of them led to the same conclusion: pain by itself is not enough. These are people that have suffered from the issue extensively (including myself for many years), yet are unwilling to engage in a significant behavioral change. Investors feel exactly the same way, and I am talking about the very best with partners who were raised in some of these countries.

I am not saying that we tried everything, but I think we were extremely exhaustive, often employing city-specific growth/incentive tactics akin to those used by many successful companies in these regions.

It's a super simple problem to solve. There are hundreds of solutions out there. The people, thus far, have wanted none. I think I know why, and I am keen to share our findings, ultimately, though, there really is no better way to convince yourself than to find out directly, by getting your hands dirty.
This is about cabs in London, which have exactly nothing to do with cabs in your home town other than being vehicles available for hire. London drivers use specially designed vehicles the drivers go through an incredibly long and challenging training regimen, and they'r held to very high standards of behavior.
I've been coding for about 15 years, and these are the strategies that work best for me:

1. If the framework or language contains paradigms that are new to you, start by getting a learn-by-doing book like a pragmatic programmer guide, and work your way all the way through it.

2. Start doing little projects that are personally relevant to you. These can be anything: little math problems from projecteuler, data analysis problems, technical interview questions. Which projects you choose are less important than you being motivated to sit down and actually finish them, solving both the easy and fun parts and the annoying "shovel work" parts.

3. Sign up to teach someone (friend, coworker, meetup group) what you just learned. The pressure of the impending performance will force you to deepen your understand of the new topics. This is also known as the "Richard Feynman method of learning"
> I think a lot of what you're talking about has more to do with an apparent inability of some people to act with any sort of common sense around other human beings rather than 'class'.

Some of it, maybe. A lowered standard of functional adulthood for such people doesn't seem like it would do them any favors; instead, it'd deny them the very feedback they need to learn better.

Immaturity doesn't strike me as the major problem here, though, unless you want to argue that the average degree of social maturity in our industry resembles that more commonly expected on a grade-school playground.

Even if that were true, then the maltreatment under discussion would be a lot more evident than it is to those of us who aren't its targets, because those who engage in it would lack the necessary cunning to choose their target and their context so that a complaint can be dismissed as he-said-she-said. Such cunning requires at least some capacity, whether cognitive or intuitive, for social analysis -- enough so, in fact, to exceed the minimum threshold for "I didn't understand what I was doing was wrong".

This being true, your choices are either to assume the existence of a feminist conspiracy aimed at the overthrow of the existing industry, or to assume that those men who are most responsible for the problem under discussion know very well that most of us would utterly refuse to put up with their shit if we saw it going on, and that's why they make sure that we don't.

> but renters must submit to arbitrary changes, allow men to enter their homes uninvited

Before buying our home, my wife and I rented and had a horrible time with our property manager.

The climax was coming home on a chilly friday night in November with NO WINDOWS in our bedroom and nice little note stating: "Be back on Monday".

The painters were supposed to paint the trim and windows and decided take them out to paint them but not to replace them for the entire weekend.

> Buying allows you to control your property

Amen
Yeah, we wouldn't want consenting adults to make their own choices.

Please point us to all the feminist action for equal _human_ rights, not just self-serving political and social policy.

Tell us all about the feminist outrage over men's suicide rates or the gender disparity in federal medical research funding?

Feminist picketing outside of family courts in protest of men's lack of custody rights?

Feminist sponsored legislation that gives men equal reproductive rights?

We'll wait... In the mean time, how about if feminists could at least let those of us actually interested in _human_ rights have a discussion without pulling the fire alarm?
>That's equality for you. If someone called me a dick, or an asshole, on a mailing list, in no way would I expect others to rally to my defense.

I really agree with this, there's going to be assholes everywhere, especially on the internet. I don't know if women are targeted by them more often than me, but if the plan is the eliminate them I wish you good luck, but I'm not going to waste my time.

The majority of people really do not care about your gender, race or religion, but a few are going to use it against you, or just resort to to offend you in some generic term.

There will be jerks everywhere, accept it. I really wish there where more women in technology, but I'm not going to treat you any different than my male colleague and I don't appreciate the hostile attitude that many ( fare for all ) women projects.

I get that women don't want to deal the sexual harassment, jerks, assholes, but you encounter that everywhere. I'm not saying that it makes it okay, but just maybe it's not a "women in technology", it might just be a generic problem that needs to be tackled in a broader arena.

The whole debate is really of track and I really don't care anymore, I just get increasing pissed when the topic comes up. It seems that "the men" can't do anything right and guess what, many of us are tried of it and have just checked out. It not our problem anymore. Awesome way of enlisting help for the people who just view women as equal colleagues.
At first I thought this was a stupid, idea. In the, I became excited and envisioned a lot of opportunities for cool games.

I don't know why there are people in this thread talking about school and education. This is a toy. A toy should not be designed to educate. Kids play videogames the whole day these days. Osmo could bring them out of the videogame, make them interact with objects, not to learn, but to play, only. This should not be confined to small kids games, but also to all kinds of games, and other uses as well.
Why is them confirming that it happens more significant than the ones who confirm they don't see it happen?
"Their days are numbered, it's just a matter of when."

Wow, the marginal tax rate pretty much cut the rental limit in half, the difference is that big.
Meta-Circular Adventures in Functional Abstraction – Challenging Clojure
Bitbucket VS. GitHub: It's More Than Just Features
It's pretty rare that the penalty for breaking a lease is that you have to pay the entire remaining term of the lease. Usually you only have to pay until a new tenant can be found, and you can speed that up if you can find them a new tenant yourself. Quite often they're really happy to be rid of you, even if they won't say so, because if the market is up they can probably charge more for a new tenant than they can raise your rent (due to bylaw limits on rent raises).

I don't think I've ever been aware of a situation where the cost of breaking a lease was actually, in practice, more significant than the costs in time and money associated with selling real estate. Obviously if your property has gained in value in the meantime you may still come out ahead when it's all done, but on the flipside you may also lose a lot of money.

The costs of breaking a lease are much more predictable.
From the article: "The current CARTs kill not just cancer cells but any B-cell, the type of white blood cell that goes wrong in leukemia."

So this really isn't an cancer cure at all; it is B-cell cure. I'm surprised this isn't a more significant detail in the article. It's really the cell-equivalent of cutting off a cancerous limb.
This reminds me of living in Harlem and the battle between the gypsy cabs and the yellow cabs. Yellow cabs hate coming to Harlem and you will rarely see them compared to the gypsy cabs. But yet when Bloomberg proposed new rules to make it easier for gypsy cabs to operate uptown and the outer boroughs the yellow cabs union pitched a hissy fit.

If the yellow cabs were anything but downright hostile to anyone going outside of lower Manhattan and midtown then I would have a little sympathy. But that went out the window when they forced my ex now but girlfriend at the time to get out of yellow cab after they dropped her friends off because she was going back home to Harlem.
I agree with you. I'm the guy behind compressor.io, and it was never my goal to launch a big competitor to existing platforms. I just tried to create the easiest and simple interface for people who wants a quick and nice way to compress their images.
Compressor isn't a revolutionary image compression tool, it just uses the best open-source libraries to achieve an effective result, comparable to other online tools.

You're confusing "more efficient" with "deciding to not abide by licensing regulation".

Regulation exists to protect consumers. It's like that shady hotel chain that sidestep any regulation - airbnb.

Only in the startup bubble is "Ignoring consumer protection laws" spun as "distruptive".

Good on the black cabs I say.
The two-apps/choose-your-app problems are something that my mother has found very frustrating, and I haven't really been able to come up with a good solution for her. It bothers me as well, but I have enough experience with similar things to be able to deal with it. But for her, it's a bunch of new stuff that all conflicts and interoperates differently. It's a disaster.

> It really, really pains me that so many cloud providers are taking so damn long to support IPv6. Does Amazon even support it yet?

I don't work at Amazon, but I spoke with someone about this recently, and I believe the issue is that Amazon provides virtual hardware and a virtual networking stack, and the tooling required to virtualize the networking stack in IPv6 isn't mature enough yet.

For providers that offer dedicated hardware, this isn't an issue, but Amazon's services abstract over a very complicated and intertwined stack, so I can understand why it would take them longer.
Would you expand on this?

From the abstract: "Informally, an obfuscator O is an (eﬃcient, probabilistic) “compiler” that takes as input a
program (or circuit) P and produces a new program O(P) that has the same functionality as
P yet is “unintelligible” in some sense"

That sounds like an exact description of FHE, and the paper seems to claim something is impossible. So I'm trying to figure out: If the paper isn't claiming FHE is impossible, then what is that "something" and how does it relate to FHE?
You conveniently snipped the part of that observation that included evidence.
