Actually, I've noticed that DGG is way overdoing guessing. More often than not I get results that are only similar to the search query in some way instead of actually what I'm looking for. This has been getting worse over time for me.

So, Apple, and the people that asked for this, think people of different ethnicity and color are shallow and easily amused by BS token "ethnically different" figures in emoji?

Most of politically correctness is white western paternalistic BS like this: yeah, we have 80% of prisoners be black, but lets add a black emoji character, that's diversity!

if f is an isomorphism between A and B, it simply means that there exists f-1 such that f(f-1) = idB and f-1(f) = idA.

I don't think anything in this definition allows us to conclude that there can only be one such f between A and B. Indeed, if A and B are sets of identical cardinality, I'm pretty sure you can create n! isomorphims between the two (where n=|A|). Drawing a picture of of two sets with two elements each should let you see it.

That tends to be the flip side of the "simple language".

And at least the 3 languages quoted are so simple that they must provide the tools for building new abstractions (which are the tools for building the language in the first place), so you can cut down on code by building a reusable toolbox of abstractions.

Go is complex enough that they can get away without that, and even get praised for pushing the complexity to userland code and providing no way for users to manage that complexity.

All the time. I usually have a couple of fiction books going at any given time and finish 1-2 a week. I'll pick up the occasional magazine and often have a non-fiction or technical book going as well.
Maybe people overlook the differences because few people actually do both kinds of reading?
The only thing I can think of that's wrong with Haskell's functors is that they're more specifically endofunctors, or am I missing something else?
Here's what I did : absolutely nothing.

A little icon appeared in the url bar on some website (it's orange when reader view is active, otherwise it's pale blue). I don't know how or why Firefox decides to show this icon. Even better, I just revisited the webpage in the screenshot annnd... no more reader view icon. SoFTWare.

ps: the reader view icon doesn't show anymore. FTWustrating.
True skate culture is about sharing, when one of you gets sponsored and can afford to build pipes and new equip you invite everybody down and sometimes give skate partners struggling money so they can afford to skate F/T and get into comps with you. Never been about meritocracy that I remember only when guys like Shaun White showed up and built private only pipes, ditched friends to hang out in VIP lounges ect.

Skating empty pools listening to TSOL none of us were anything but friends who supported each other and were friends first and business after, I guess this would be the last thing you would want in business/startup culture. There were always women around skating and snowboarding with us too I don't get any of this article it certainly wasn't like this, W Coast circa early90s til now.

One of our best friends was a sponsored female snowboarder who would pay for all of us to come heliskiing and boarding with her all season long, even the friends who couldn't ride for shit came too because true skateboarding culture.I don't see this working at all in the business unless you run a lab similar to MIT back in the Stallman days and are willing to put the community and friends above profits which seems like a good way to kill any business.
It also takes bloody ages getting to the "good" parts like monoids and functors :)
Yeah it is the same type of feel good, social media support as "liking" a diversity page on Facebook. Makes you feel good and act like you did something.

Everyone (I only saw white people like Miley Cyrus complaining) was getting all angry at Apple for not updating when it is the Unicode standard that they were following.

People should be able to choose an appropriate emoji that fits their ethnicity. It is like having 1 type of bandage in a "skin" tone that only works for white people. It is exclusive. But it isn't some big win for diversity, just something that should exist.

Why people probably won't pay for privacy
I think physical write protection, as employed on motherboards for the BIOS around the turn of the century, is the best option; the user has to explicitly allow updates to occur, and it's something that no software can ever bypass if it's implemented properly. Physical security is very easily understood by most if not all users.

I am not so convinced about the necessity of periodic updates; firmware is, by definition supposed to change far less often than software; it's firm, not soft. For example, motherboard BIOSes were basically almost never updated until manufacturers started using flash instead of EPROMs, and bugs were relatively rare. The assumption that "it can be updated later" has decreased the motivation to get it right the first time.
Ask HN: How much of a concern is privacy/security in emails for you?
Having just recently watched Citizenfour and progressively rolling out the beta for my email app (www.slidemailapp.com), I wanted to take a moment to quickly poll HN on their viewpoint on email security.

1. Do you actively think about vulnerabilities in the email systems you use?
2. Are you concerned with privacy and would you switch over to an email client that provided more security and privacy?
3. If so, which security/privacy measures would you like to see implemented in a client?
Another founder here! If you have any questions about our engineering stack, I'm happy to answer.
BigQuery is interesting. Thank you for the link. I am trying to determine if large quantities of data like this can be analyzed with sub-second aggregation time, targeting a 2-3 second total response time to the user, including network latency. The hypothetical data set would not necessarily be event driven, but of course it is useful to have lower data latency. The aggregation speed is the biggest performance concern for me.
Fonts configuration is always rather subjective. I often don't like defaults. This applies to any system. Good ones allow greater flexibility. Bad ones assume they know best and force "best defaults" without any way to improve them.
The problem is, those title are just that - arbitrary. I've seen "senior" or "lead" developers with less than five years of experience. I don't necessarily have a problem with that if they're really that good, but how often is that the case?

In the type community dynamic types are called tags, to contrast from static types which are thrown away after compile-time.

Types are not just "types", there exists myriads of interpretations and implementations. E.g. nominal vs structural, compile-time vs run-time, dynamic vs static, polynomial (HM) vs exponential (cartesian), sound vs unsound. Please get yourself accustomed to the type literature, or invent your own glossary, as perl usually does when it has no idea about prior art. In this case it has.

From the implementation POV tags are indices into types and used with primitives as tags, hence the name, reserved "bits", e.g. with 30bit intnums or the many free NaN tagging bits in doubles or normal class slots with multiword objects. They are carried along the lifetime of the variable, hence add critical run-time safety and inherent slowness.

How much philosophy do you know? Much of the material deals with different value systems and applying those value systems to different problems. So, you have a complex ethical problem (which many are) and evaluating the problem in the view of the different value systems as well as the code of ethics. So, decisions about security of systems is certainly one of those situations.
I was going through your stuff [2] today and developed a much better intuition for the universal property and initial/final-ness than I had previously (from the beginning of Awodey, Mac Lane, etc), so thanks!

j2kun's site [2] is highly recommended for anyone looking for a foothold into CT. It begins with a brief look at the universal property of free monoids (by implementing lift for lists), followed by various constructions (many in the category of Set). It (currently) ends with a discussion of map, filter, and (the universal property) of fold. Some constructions/proofs are provided in ML (which I've been meaning to get acquainted with (and while "clunky" is better suited than Haskell for the intended purpose, imo)).

So yeah, thanks again! I hope you get time to continue the series...

Apple's Singularity uploader will have a more user friendly interface and "it will just work". Although you will be limited on what compression algorithm you can use (Apple will only support Apple lossless and compressed codecs) and limited in your customization options (can't change your voice module, gender identifier, username, or global age specification).
It's still pretty standard to mine hands that you didn't personally participate in. Lots of players mine nonstop. You're right that you're probably crossing the line when you buy/share other people's datasets, as you'll get information that your opponent can't possibly get without also sharing/buying datasets. That being said, of the nose-bleed players I personally knew it was still the norm to share data with your friends. I think at that level you just have to assume that all of your previously played hands are visible to all your opponents and adjust accordingly.
First, who do you think you are to question my font configuration skills (hint: nil), second, as mentioned earlier, there are ways to have 'better' font rendering. The thing is it requires a PhD in Linux display stack and frankly I don't care. I tried to care though, and it backfired at me (emacs was fubared, and that's a deal breaker), and this default config, even subpar, is pretty enough and stable enough. Lastly, chromium manages to set up itself better and fonts look better in it. SoFTWare.
Which is becoming a much bigger problem because of the crushing traffic and limited public transportation.

They should be able to do that themselves (I've seen a lot of projects adding tiers in the middle of campaigns, you can't remove/change existing tiers).

Kickstarter shouldn't be able to add new tiers by themselves, as they have no say what the price/rewards should be. The current tiers are likely (hopefully) carefully planned based on their manufacturing plans and how many watches they can fulfill in the schedule given.
>distros ship with horrible defaults.

I guess you haven't used Ubuntu lately, which ships with better fonts than my Windows machine.
I've had this problem with Readability before (the icons appeared by default to the left of the back button, which I didn't like; they kept reappearing). I want to say I solved it by going to about:support and resetting things.
Personally I use a Firefox keyword shortcut to printfriendly (I don't remember why I stopped using readability, it's a lot fancier, but PF never failed so I kept going back to it.)

Of course they'll talk to you. The question is whether they'll write the check.

Re-incorporating from another US state is not too hard and expensive, although I have seen it hose some companies (for example, Rhode Island is a particularly bad state to be incorporated in). Re-incorporating from another country is much harder and can delay things by a couple months, which is long enough for a deal to fall through.

The important thing is to be physically near investors. They'll want to drop by many times during the life of the company.
Maybe focus on addressing critical societal issues instead of blaming a blog platform? This narrative is insane.
If your company doesn't have a lot of people in your position, or if you think you might be identified by your salary, then Glassdoor will fudge things a bit.
Or, you know, people have different subjective preferences in fonts.

It's not a false dichotomy: most of the time data collection and analysis does not preserve privacy. In all cases, you can't guarantee that.

You also didn't respond to this:

> Furthermore, even if a company was using differential privacy to anonymize data between the collection and the processing step, there is no way to prove that the data is being handled appropriately before and during the collection step. Also, there is no way for a company to prove that they continue to handle data appropriately over time.

Any company using shroudbase can choose to stop using shroudbase at any time, or accidentally introduce a bug into their collection method, or start also saving the data in MySQL at collection time.

Tools like that are useful to distribute data from trusted to non-trusted parties. You still have to trust the analytics and advertising companies doing the collection.
They do engage in widespread anti-competitive behavior, by making really good products that people want to buy! It really hurts their competition's ability to sell cheap plastic laptops.

All joking aside, the fact that Apple could crush anyone but has explicitly chosen not to is worthy of some amount of praise.

University is the last place for privacy conscious programmers.

Colleges use Google Apps (including e-mails), the student body (for the most part) all want to work for Google/Facebook/etc, college culture encourages social media (plenty of clubs almost exclusively do their planning and events on FB) and students look up to the founders of the aforementioned companies, or other non-privacy conscious tech people.

Whenever I went for a walk or run and tried to use the buttons it always felt awkward and cumbersome. I'd rather have buttons on my headphones or something that's really easy and obvious to hit (such at tapping the screen or something).

The comment about SR&ED is somewhat incorrect. It's not exactly difficult to fill out timesheets, even for "thinking". It's just research into a specific topic. I worked for a Canadian startup for a time and I spent a few minutes each week updating my SR&ED spreadsheet for the work I did that week.

There's a pretty big pool of talent in Waterloo (as well as Toronto and Ottawa) and there's many startups in here as a result. While the pool is smaller than in SV and there's less access to capital, there's some good accelerators around and space costs far less.
