Looks like advocates of identity politics aren't going to stop until they bring back discrimination based on race and not merit:

March 2014

http://online.wsj.com/news/articles/SB1000142405270230380210...

"In 1996, California voters approved Prop. 209 to block public institutions, notably state universities, from discriminating by race. Asian-American freshman enrollment at the University of California's 10-flagship universities has since climbed to 40.2% from 36.6% and to 47% from 39.7% at Berkeley."

Prop. 209's ban on racial preferences has helped Asian Americans by forcing admissions officers to focus on such academic qualifications as high-school grades and test scores.

Liberals argue that race-based admissions are necessary to increase black and Hispanic representation, but minority enrollment has increased since 1996 at the University of California. Hispanics now make up 28.1% of the UC system's freshman class, up from 13.8% in 1996, while black enrollment has ticked up to 4% from 3.8%."

...the U.S. Supreme Court will soon rule on Michigan's Prop. 2, which is based on Prop. 209, and liberals hope this will provide grounds for a new lawsuit to overturn California's ban on racial preferences.

...Democratic Attorney General Kamala Harris and Governor Jerry Brown have both argued for its repeal."
A bitcoin is a commodity. A small piece of a complicated crypto system you can buy or decipher or even trade for goods (in very few and restricted cases) and has practically no use apart from storing it in the hope to get a benefit in the near future by selling it at a higher price. Have you got an old VCR? Well, a bitcoin is just like that, or it will be soon (Only you can't burn a bitcoin in the hope to get some heat when your bitcoin acquires absolutely no value whatsoever but, then again, you may not want to burn a VCR due to toxic fumes and such...)

Some talk about decentralized currency, anonymous payments, money laundry... Shenanigans. All shenanigans.
It's naive to the point of absurdity. It's basically saying:

The NSA/CIA/FBI/etc. couldn't even see Ukraine coming! They were on their coffee breaks, those silly spooks! They never get anything right do they? So don't worry about them collecting information on you! They couldn't even find Osama! Those slackers. Don't worry be happy!"

The stupidest assumption one can make about a powerful organization is that it's incompetent and thus benign. Crack open a history book to see how benign power really can be.
Karma.

They aren't the first to learn that they can't keep treating their customers poorly forever. Customers find alternatives. Word gets around.

I have had a Sony TV with a well-known defect that they continued making for years, disregarding consumer complaints. The rear 1/3 of the logic board wasn't supported and the gentlest bump would break it. My very expensive TV broke and they refused to cover it.

Way back when I used to maintain computers, the Sony Vaio laptops constantly had their backlights go out. Several different models. Sometimes the replacements would go out, too.

One time we had tape drives on back order. Some proprietary format that only Sony had at the time. They took so long to deliver them that we found alternatives. When they finally came, months late, they came without cables. It took another several months to get them.

Not to mention the debacle of PSN going down for a month and they wouldn't admit to me that they lost my credit card number. Recently, all of my game saves have been corrupted by their auto upload service.

I have regretted choosing Sony. Every. Single. Time.

I believe the purpose of the underwear is to prevent stains and leaking from accidents, and is not meant to be used INSTEAD of normal sanitary products. This is similar to those disposable plasticy ones that have existed in some countries for years, but I like what they've done with the fabrication and design here. It's silly that it's taken so long for someone to bring this type of product to market. I hope it's successful!

>'The truth is that I honestly don't get emotionally invested in any of it. I'm emotionally invested in my career and love new technology, enjoy learning, etc.'

I think there's a lot of wisdom in those sentences. Basically, invest in internal (personal) goals and see the external (workplace) ones served as a natural extension of that.

It's easy to reverse that and find yourself hamstrung or run ragged by bullshit which you don't necessarily have any control over.

A couple of years ago I started using LinkedIn's resume builder [1]. It takes my existing LinkedIn profile information and generates a nice-looking PDF in one of several user-selectable formats. I tweaked my profile information so that it looks decent in resume style. That satisfies 99% of my need for resumes -- and besides, most of the time anyone who asks for it has already looked at my LinkedIn profile anyway, and probably only wants a PDF as something to put in their file.

Serendipity: I was doing a web-search for the "Heilbronn Institute"[1]. Using Google.co.uk, and clicking maps, shows the town in Germany with "The Earwig Research Centre" near the middle of the map[2].

Anyway, this giant earwig (probably extinct[3]) was first described a few years after the US was declared and recognised.

Direct access to querying on your data via a data warehouse (Amazon Redshift). Localytics' sales team will say they have that but if you actually try it you basically have to build an entire ETL pipeline yourself (I'd encourage you to ask!) With Amplitude you login with the psql command from any CLI and you're done. It's particularly good if you have complex requirements like how particular metrics compare across apps.
pt-online-schema-change, part of the Percona Toolkit, is my go-to tool for making production changes in MySQL.

Improvely and W3Counter both have tons of multi-gigabyte tables. A regular ALTER TABLE statement could take hours to run, and would lock the table the entire time, essentially taking down the service.

Percona's tool makes a copy of the table, runs the ALTER TABLE statements on the copy, then sets up triggers on the original to temporarily mirror data-altering queries to the copy. It then intelligently batches the data migration from the old table to the new one to avoid overloading the server, while printing progress and ETA on the console. When the copying's done, the old table is dropped and the modified one renamed in a single transaction.

It takes just one command and has always worked flawlessly.

I'd love to know whether DUIs have also fallen. Liquor and beer manufacturers are among the biggest opponents of marijuana legalization campaigns.
I legitimately believe the greatest threat to most controversy scandals is individuals like you, who with long posts of obfuscation and obscurant arguments attempt to meddle with any bit of chance that any consensus or unity will form. To people like you, once we have enough evidence that would satisfy you, much would be lost.

I see no reason to trust you after posts like these. You have said so little with so much text. It shows that you were a lawyer.
I think it's not a problem... This is not a playable clone of the game. It's purely for deck analysis, kind of like how SimulationCraft is a DPS simulation and analysis tool for World of Warcraft.
Parse/Cognito/etc allow you to quickly validate an idea that may or may not work out without having to invest in a backend engineer and a bunch of backend infrastructure. If it doesn't work, you've saved a bunch of time and money. If it does work, then you can start worrying about how to scale it and add more features. No piece of software has ever launched without technical debt, and there's much worse technical debt to take on than an outsourced backend.
I analyzed this pretty critically with my girlfriend who is sitting right next to me and had heard of them before. She agreed that there was definitely a demand for this product, but that 1) the cost was too high 2) she would rather just buy regular panties + some tampons or pads to put in her purse 3) it may be more applicable for women who have had children and have more issues with incontinence/etc (we're both 23). We also both pointed out that regular panties are something like 6/$24 at Victoria's Secret... a sixth of the cost of these things.
The 10% stat is from Denver. Does it hold state wide? Statistically significant? Confounding factors?

I'm genuinely curious, but want to make sure such things are sound before using them in national debate.
The opposite situation might even be worse. Pilot-in-command says you're go, but you're not keen on the weather. Suddenly the PIC is super pissed that you're not sharing the cost of the ride anymore, and you have a lot of very bad options. Pay for a ride you aren't going to take, get in an airplane in circumstances you feel aren't safe, or piss off this individual who's going to bad mouth you to everyone he knows.

It really seems like this could persuade a lot of people to make bad decisions.
If they really wanted to help women around the world, donating a small portion of sales to one African country is not what I would consider a realistic approach to that goal.

Eloquent Ruby[1] by Russ Olsen

If you are an experienced programmer coming to Ruby this is definitely the place to start. Especially if you are a Java or .NET EE-indoctrinated programmer. The people who maintain your code after you will be thankful that you read this and wrote idiomatic Ruby.

If you just want to learn Ruby or read an excellent technical book as mind food this book is also a great choice.

(Code by Petzold is actually my favorite technical book, but its already been picked.)

I fully agree with your way of thinking; this is exactly the approach to these matters I expected to find here on HN.

> Wow, that sounds very bad to me.

It might, but today, I run into tons of developers that don't understand the fundamentals. I worked with a guy who I affectionally named "Stack Man." He basically used a stack for any list implementation. He didn't understand the difference between a list, a queue, and a stack.

You're teaching your students Java and telling them "Just use Collections.sort" and that's fine, but do you understand when Collections.sort is bad? If you don't understand the underlying algorithm of how a merge sort works, you might be telling them to use something that is worse than could actually be worse than a bubble sort in certain cases.

Also Java wasn't taught to CS students at our school, that was only for BIT (Business Information Technology). Teachers wanted you to understand memory and pointers.
Ask HN: Do you smoke marijuana when writing code?

Then start putting people who are gifted at math into classrooms, with poor pay, poor conditions, enormous workload, no respect, and constant attacks, instead of letting them go into business or finance where they can make comfortable, if not obscene, amount of money, get respect, and not have to answer to parents.

Easy, no?

The other problem is that most capable mathematicians are not gifted teachers, and dealing with a classroom full of kids who have to be there day in, day out, and in same cases actively choose not to learn, is a nightmare.

I know - let's invent "New Math" ...
The similarities between Cognito and EnduroSync (Orando Labs, https://orandolabs.com - announced in May) are striking. Including the latin sounding names. Except that EnduroSync is an object store and has no data size limitations. Even the pricing is similar.

As far as Hacker New goes, we announced EnduroSync back in May, and got no promotion. Not one up vote?

This is great. I've been wondering how to do this, and this is exactly what I had come up with. I'm glad to have confirmation that it's the normal way people do zero-downtime migrations.

I might add one change. You say add a column migration, ship it, then add the feature that uses the column and ship again. I was planning on shipping the code at the same time (or even before) the migration, but having the feature disabled with a feature-flipper until the migration is done.

He's not to my reading saying it would be 'almost impossible' to mount a similar challenge in the future.

The "DRIP Bill" (thanks, that's a great term) is fairly obviously taking the piss with the ECJ ruling, considering it contains a big slice of the "Snoopers' Charter" and is going in exactly the wrong direction.

It would, however, require a new legal challenge to the Supreme Court or the ECJ/ECHR to fight this, and they probably think that will take somewhat longer than 2 years, 2 years during which they get more retention, after which they'll probably either renew it or change it a bit again, probably for the worse because some of the Tories like Theresa May and Cameron don't even think this went far enough (wtf?!), and reset the clock again... maybe I'm being cynical, but I think my cynicism is well-earned here.

Gah.
Eh, not really. Certainly conversions from int->long should be implicit (I don't know if they are in Swift, though).

Only if you assume that that three point list is evenly weighted. In my experience in 2014 it isn't. The number of companies which expect men in particular to wear a suit and tie to a job interview far exceeds those that do not.

A lot of companies dress smart casual but most also won't think of someone negatively if they "over-dress" for an interview (since, frankly, we all know that's the game that is played).
From the article: "The funding comes after a period of growth among Amplitude’s enterprise customer base, which is up by 400 percent since the service’s launch."

Is it just me, or does this not really make any sense? Assuming they have 0 customers at launch, how would they have 400% growth?
While that use to be true, it isn't anymore.

The market could perhaps grow to 100x the sales volume, although that seems doubtful considering 7% of US adults already claim to smoke marijuana - http://www.gallup.com/poll/163835/tried-marijuana-little-cha.... There's no way it'll grow to 100x the revenue, though. Without illegality driving up the price, its price ought to plummet until it's about as cheap as any other agricultural product, apart from high sin taxes (which don't help potrepreneur profit).

I do have some less than fond memories staring and BER encoded SMS messages in Wireshark, however...

Even with a Commercial Airmans Certificate (aka CPL), you would also need a Air Operators Certificate before you can advertise services to the general public. This helps ensure the operator has procedures in place.

IANAL but because "funds" change hands and involves people with no prior relationship, its commercial enough to be a problem.

Organizations such as Angelflight do facilitate volunteer pilots flying people around for charitable purposes such as transport for medical care. This is legal as the pilot doesn't receive any compensation for the flight.

IP lawyer here. Don't rely on the following as legal advice about your specific situation, but in U.S. law:

1. The odds are that contract law is at least as much of a problem as copyright law. Check the terms of service of the various sites that you access; they probably prohibit doing what you're doing.

(It's another question whether any given site's terms of service would apply to your access of the site if you didn't click on something like "I agree" at some point [1].)

2. There's no copyright in facts or data per se, but there can be a copyright in "original" selection and arrangement of facts and/or data. [2]

3. Copying and/or distributing copies of someone else's original content -- such as news write-ups or images -- is very definitely a problem under copyright law.

4. A content provider doesn't need to include a copyright notice to be able to get copyright protection.

5. Some content providers have tried to claim IP-like rights under the "hot news" doctrine; it's unclear to what extent such claims are viable. [3]

6. Conceivably one or more of the sites you access could claim that you infringe their trademark rights if you included their trademarks in your dashboard or in your marketing.

The thing about casual discussions like that is it's easy to build a narrative without actually providing much substance. Joel's essay doesn't discuss Microsoft's "barrier(s) to exit" that Office itself didn't give up completely until last year (cf: Open Document), and Windows itself has yet to yield (it is still the dominant OS, by far, in the desktop and laptop markets).

Sure, "barriers to exit become barriers to entry" is applicable in some contexts, and for some part of a potential market it will be the barrier that keeps those customers away. I wouldn't dispute that. I would dispute that "barriers to exit become barriers to entry" be treated as a universal maxim applicable along all businesses and products. It's just as much of a strategy mistake to make as assuming the barrier can't exist in the first place. It ought to be considered; not treated as a key issue until or unless the data suggest it should be.
