Not a lot of documentation on the IBM page about what the characteristics mean or how they learn a mapping from text to these categories.

Curious to know what the average hacker news scores look like? I'm imagining it is a pretty small segment of "normal" society.
Agreed.

>Why pay 4.9 percent, the amount Make a Stand charges, as a transaction fee?

If it was a pre-planned launch, then it's impressive. I'm leaning more toward cynical. Hopefully she'll learn enough to navigate those waters for herself in the future, if she's so inclined.
It says they have a github and says "here's ours" but theres no link, and github doesn't appear anywhere else in the page source.

Looks nice in firefox (doesn't work in chrome)
It may sound appealing (not to me, at all) but it's just not a very good user experience.
I don't even have scores for stability and practicality. Hmmm.
Using always the same guy for every single product launch is not that appealing. Specially when this guy also made the video about onlycoin.com.

It's getting weird.
Using chrome, and it seems to fit perfectly really.

I think this is also a great idea especially because we use AI for way to less nowadays compared to what we actually should have learned about AI the last 50 years.
The US prison system is completely insane whether you are a hacker or not. It is baffling to me why you would want to send non-violent criminals to prison with hardened criminals in the first place, the rehabilitation is likely to be higher (and cheaper) with something like an ankle bracelet. Also an interesting idea to have hackers teaching hardcore criminials about OPSEC. Although you could make the argument that the hackers who get caught aren't usually very good at OPSEC to begin with - I suspect that they are learning though, even the Grugq has a video about it [1].

The only bad thing on my credit card report is a cable box that was not returned in a timely manner. The box was returned, and I even received my deposit back.

Well, just today I was asked can we do something about our New Relic bill. I mean, come one, $160/server is too much and the annual contract keeps you locked in. We should build an open-source APM and press those guys to stop ganging up togehter with AppDynamics, AppNeta, and the likes and keep the price high.

I think that your fantasy version of sex trafficking is common, but is certainly not representative. Many (most?) women are trafficked in exactly this way, knowing generally what they will be employed to do, just not knowing how terrible the conditions and pay are, and that they will never be able to pay off their 'debt' to the traffickers.

The vast majority of human trafficking is to provide house servants and manufacturing workers, but we don't care because sex. Judging by this thread, stories of human trafficking that don't involve sex are heartwarming and inspirational.

Are you joking? The article is classic "fuck-you-I-got-mine" woman-to-woman sexism that completely ignores, as a trivial example, the comparable ratios of women to men in education and training that falls off in the workplace.

This is literally tech sexism 101, and the fact that you're willing to wade into the discussion blathering about logical fallacies and neutral tone without bothering to educate yourself in the basics is the actual problem.
These two sentences:

> "I can reverse a linked list even in my dreams."

> "I was not able to finish the coding"

are to my mind incompatible. Are you absolutely sure the issue is not that you haven't practiced enough? Bear in mind that it is a fairly trivial data structure.
Yeah, I think it's worth keeping in mind it's scoring you based on your comments on a particular kind of site which tends towards certain kinds of interactions.
If it was compromised already it's because it's safer for the hacker to do so than to break my window and go in my house. Safer does not equal easier.
Another Sandwhich Video. I'm starting to group all these products featuring Adam Lisagor together, and it's not necessarily a positive association.
Did you file a dispute directly with the three credit reporting agencies?
You can test the accuracy yourself: http://www.outofservice.com/bigfive/ . It's a good idea to take that test before looking at OP's results.
So you think a right step graph would work better? I changed the graphs to have a right step instead of a left step, but the graphs still don't make a lot of sense. The lines in the graphs are supposed to represent the time it took between publications, but I think people are thinking that the author was writing at a constant X amount of words for however long the line between publications is.

Yeah, there's probably a lot of books that were being written while others were being finished up or started as well. When I first started developing this, I thought about finding data about how long it takes an author to WRITE book X, Y, or Z, but I couldn't find accurate information about that for most authors. So that's why I decided to use publication dates. I understand how people think that books are written in a linear fashion - one after another - because of this, but there's not much I can do about it, because most authors don't share this information and a lot of ones are already dead.

For the missing works, I'll have to revise my tool to find anything that are not novels or just enter the data for essays, short stories, collections, etc. manually, though that'll probably not be feasible time wise.
Since the sample Watson code is downloadable and intended to show how to use these services, I find it odd that you cite "over commenting" as a problem. Comments are a great thing in sample code, especially in code that you can download separately, without docs.
> " Is HN over-repesented in the 24%?"

Very likely. Or at least, people on HN who answered this poll. HN is not a cross-section of American society; HN is a cross-section of hackers, coders, developers, intellectuals, and people with serious curiosity. HN polls also show a median salary approaching 6 figures, which is not normal for the US as a whole. I would not expect HN finances to look like average US finances.

We certainly have people here living paycheck to paycheck, and even some homeless, but HN is not usually a favorite site among those demographics.
If I borrow from a person, I'll bleed to death in the snow to make sure they get paid back. But from a corporation? Their losses are priced into their interest rate. I'll still pay them back of course, but if I lose my job, have no income, I'm not crying over it.
Not quite. If I understand correctly, as of that date Chip and PIN will be encouraged, by charging higher fees to merchants when they fail to do a chip and PIN transaction.
Diversified portfolios are the common suggestion of financial gurus, but in the Great Recession I doubt any of them lost less than 25% if they beat inflation beforehand. (That is, they weren't so diversified after all.) I don't put much weight in their recovery since then, given the near-free money available from the gov't.

To their credit, this video doesn't feature him as prominently as in many other Sandwich videos and mostly just uses his voice and some static images (which I did immediately recognize however).

It also spends most of the time showing the actual product instead of just Adam doing 'funny' things.

This seems wrong. The boat never moves when Sail Angle is 0. Boat Angles of 40 and 90 should cause motion with a Sail Angle of 0, but they don't.
I have a problem to solve and an idea of how to solve it(at least that's what I think). Not sure whether it is the right time to build it (how do you define that? Isn't it always the right time?)
Throw in some git analysis. What I find useful is highlighting files with the most frequent and # of changes. "Hot files" like a controller that is constantly getting logic added and modified it's probably a good target for refactoring and future changes should be more closely peer reviewed.

Ask HN: Help me get rid of a dilemma I've never had[The Apple dilemma]
Hey folks,
[A little backstory: I'm 14 yrs old and have been coding since an year or so. I started learning Obj-C around the beginning of May for creating iOS apps through the book "Programming in Obj. C by Stephen Kochan(great book by the way) but never made it to real app making, and was able to learn only till about the cmd-line Obj. C apps]

Whoo, so here I am, I know how to code Obj. C cmd-line apps but anything more than that, just forget it.

Then, in June, came WWDC, with its Swift, iOS 8, and Yosemite blow(if I may call it that). So, now, I'm totally confused what to do...

On one side, there's the option of using the Apple developer Library to learn[http://developer.apple.com/library/](But, it's getting started guide is really outdated and kinda, confusing and useless), then, there's the option of using the Swift iBooks(But I'm not sure if I should learn Swift, a language thats not open source and I don't think has a future after reading a number of blog posts against it) or there's also the option to continue learning Obj. C(I'm not sure why I should not learn Swift but learn Obj. C[P.S. I know C inside out]). There really aren't any other books that I think are cool for ios8 + Yosemite development learning, but a considerable option is http://designcode.io but again, that has a problem. I barely have any idea about ios design and stuff, and the book aims to serve Designers(acc. my understanding).

So, substantially, for the last couple of months, I haven't learn't anything because I've been totally, and when I say totally I mean totally confused. Hence I'm stuck doing nothing, which is not something I want. I've gon back to coding HackerRank problem solutions in C, which is something which I'm fed up of now...

Help me, ppl. I'm looking forward to it.
I thought the site was a self-referencing example, although comically bad. The price tag made me realize this wasn't just a fun experiment like I wanted it to be...
Slack Security hole
Short term rentals have been illegal in San Fran since (I believe) the 80s.

Running a hotel without paying hotel taxes and following other regulations is generally illegal.

It surely is also is against local zoning regulations. I think zoning regulations are generally a good idea but in practice they are often harmful (except in older downtown areas which are generally friendly to mixed use).

Attack the ideas and not the person, the sleeping in the office and bathing thing has been beaten to death many times over and has very little to do with the open source ideas that Stallman has been relentlessly promoting. Effectively he's given up a normal life in order to do this promotion. You could for the same money laugh hard at the military, monks and anybody else that has given up the comforts of regular life in order to commit to a life of service (whether or not I agree with any of those is besides the point, it's just that once you decide your vocation matters more than you do that luxuries cease to matter).

Stallmans ideas are very much worth all our attention and his service has brought us as an industry enormous benefits.
You're cherry picking. The guideline, and I want to stress that it's a guideline and not a rule or EULA.

>> Be civil. Don't say things you wouldn't say in a face to face conversation.

When it comes to racist, sexist, hatemongers who derive pleasure from causing other people suffering, this is as civil as it gets. I also want to assure you; I would make the same comment in person.
From what I understand, each 16-digit credit card number has 9 digits for the account number. With only 1-billion combinations don't you risk using up all the numbers if everyone gets a new number for every transaction?
> Free speech and free thought should not mean that anybody give anybody else a free pass to cause harm or spread ideas that are likely to cause harm

But then you don't have free speech or thought anymore. You only have the freedom to express ideas that are deemed to be acceptable by whoever holds the most sociopolitical power at any one time. And there's never a guarantee that the progressive side will hold that power forever.

And the Mozilla boycotters weren't just "choosing not to associate with him". They were calling for him to be fired for participating in a political campaign they disagreed with. This is exactly what McCarthyism was about. It's amazing how progressives have forgotten the danger of this now that they control the social narrative.
Assuming in a typical courting relationship network, a female is
being courted by 8 males at the same time, and assuming all those men
would devote much of their resources to their courtship and hence
would have few resources to spare for other inter-personal
relationships, it looks like the neocrotex of the female would need
to take on more burden (e.g. more developed) as to take care of those 8 links, than the neocrotex of each man needs to maintain a single link.

This may explain why most of the time woman is more adept at dealing
with those sociality issues.

What's Playing
I'm lol'ing about your post.

1) If an employee doesn't pay taxes its because the employer doesn't retain it & report it. So it cannot be the immigrants "usually" paying the taxes but the employer failing to. One begets the other. The rate of employers paying will always be higher than the employee paying.

2) You imply that under the table work pay isn't an agreement between employer/employee. Nobody wants to pay taxes. Especially once you are making at or near minimum wages. At this level every cent counts as a larger percentage of income relative to someone like you.

3) Often times in practice, non-reported compensation is a benefit to both parties. The worker retains ~15% of his income that would otherwise be lost to taxation. The employer does the same.

One mans profiteering is another mans profiteering.

The overarching problem is the rate of taxation on lower income individuals.

Think beyond federal income taxes and into state income taxes, sales tax, land tax, license renewals, vehicle registration, traffic tickets, etc. Rapidly you realize that individuals are constantly making payments to various entities that are generating income for the government. This impacts low income, low skill workers the most. Consider the disparity of a low income worker and a middle income worker as a percentage of income per week lost to taxes. $100 for vehicle registration or 10% in federal taxes or 9% sales tax on purchases. What is 4% of your income could easily be 20% of someone else.
The design here is flawed. It is insane to expect anything different then what it is. You can still hack it if you are inclined, but I agree the bias is not prosocial.

By labour, I mean grab a pen and paper and devise a method to fix the problem. If it is broke devise a method to fix it.

Noble labour takes resolve.

Show HN: Simple file server for current directory (with password and upload)
Nothing inherently binding this to 2.4ghz, but it is the band for bluetooth, wifi zigbee/thread etc. Not in love with that as the bet for much of IoT because its pretty range constrained if you are working with power constrained devices...For higher bandwidth applications it makes lots of sense but for sensors and actuators where I am only moving a few bytes at a given time, I would rather have lower power and better range... and yes, they did miss an opportunity to make it open.

I really don't know what he was thinking. How many times have we heard the story of the hacker that does something and is asked by law enforcement to work for them. Or the student that gets arrested or expelled when he discovers a vulnerability in some school software.

He should have expected this and taken precautions against it. Or not reveal himself at all.
Conversely, I'm also curious to find cold files or files that people are afraid to touch.
Status is attention. If enough people stare at a fool he will be convinced he is king.

There are dollars in spectacle but in the end twitter, fb, reddit or HN are inferior tools because of this.
I originally made it a pastebin link because I didn't want to post a huge off-topic thing into the API thread. Kevin simply linked to that.

There's another reason, though: what I wrote was too long for an HN text post (I forget what the limit is, but this was definitely over it) and I didn't have time to make it shorter.

Take a look at Termite for Gambit Scheme; its focus is different from yours, but it seems to be very good at serializing stuff (including continuations) and automatically proxying the rest (e.g. file descriptors).

(I don't think this is actually a good idea - intra-datacenter traffic is much faster, upgrading becomes hard in this scheme, and your security model needs to be quite complicated - but I'd be interested in learning what you find.)
Panic's Prompt 2 for iOS Released
I was recently in the U.S. and saw a person use a paper cheque. I'm not joking.
I, too, got a "Love" rating in the low single digits. That's probably not too far from the truth in a global sense, but remember that in this case, the API is working with a local context (HN comments). I'm probably unlikely to have discussed the subject of love on HN, or anything tangentially related to it, or anything that would somehow give an indication of my need for love. Now, if you were to run my Facebook history through the same process, I imagine you'd find a slightly different analysis.

To some extent, our personalities are our personalities. We behave, on some level, the same in every context and in every community. But the extent to which that's the case is up for debate. We probably use different approaches, or if you prefer, we show different aspects of our personalities, in different contexts and in front of different groups. That's why it's extremely difficult to take one context (HN, for instance), and extrapolate universal characteristics from it.

Even within the set of HN history, I got some oddball results. For instance, Watson considers me very "Fiery" (51%) here. There are plenty of areas in my life in which the word "Fiery" makes a bit of sense. HN isn't one of them.
