> Yes, loading 3rd party code can potentially lead to a XSS MITM attack (if you don't link via HTTPS). No, your local copy is not more robust than a globally distributed CDN. No, loading yet another unique copy of jquery is not going to be faster than fetching the copy from a warm local cache.

Loading a local copy of jquery is probably not going to be more robust than a globally distributed CDN, but when it fails, it's probably going to be at the same time as the rest of your site, so it's not breaking anything that's not already broken. Who knows what's going to happen to the jQuery CDN in 10 years when jQuery is no longer in style, etc. What if they forget to renew the domain, or their domain registration is hijacked, etc.

Well, perhaps you haven't lived in another country where negotiation is behind nearly every transaction, even down to when the cops pull you over. I remember my Dad getting pulled over for driving with one hand in Argentina. The car had a manual transmission and there was no such law. After a short negotiation the cop got a few bucks and we where back on the road.

I love negotiating with car dealers. I know their game and can be as much of an asshole as they are. A few rules:

- Always tell them you have two hours to get out of there

- Set an alarm for 1 hour

- Give them hell if things are not moving by the hour mark get up and get out of the office. You need to be angry (non violent)

- I prefer to have 30% to 50% down payment if financing. Things move much faster this way.

- Do your research

- Do NOT EVER be in love with a particular car

- Do not inject emotion into the process. Think Jedi Knight.

- Do not tolerate delay techniques. Demand that the manager come out and close the deal, no stupid back and forth

- Be a bigger asshole, imagine you care about cockroaches more than them

- have fun

- Sorry ladies: Don't go in ther with your wife or girlfriends unless they agree to the rules of the game and not to inject emotion into the negotiations

- Drill it into your head: You don't have to buy that car that day.

It really sucks that this is the culture. It is what it is. You can either have fun with it or be a victim.
I have trouble finding sympathy for someone who over-leveraged to buy a billion dollars worth of taxi medallions on the assumption they would only ever go up in value.
Any support for hyperparameter selection? That's otherwise a bit of a black art. I skimmed the documentation but didn't see it mentioned.
You throw women around like it is some umbrella term for every women out there. You are wrong, not all women fall under your umbrella term. Who says some group of women are disallowed in using their bodies for a competitive advantage? What about a women who enjoys having sex with individuals? What if those individuals happen to be VC's? What if by sleeping with those VC's she is allowed capital to fund her startup? She was just enjoying herself, and happened to be doing business at the same time.

What right do you have as an individual to impose your viewpoint of calling her a sex object because she is using her body to her advantage?

I don't understand this logic. You ridicule women by saying they are sex objects even though they might inherently enjoy the act of sex itself and realize the advantage it brings them in a business environment.

And don't be naive, spend some time in San Jose at any Vietnamese Coffee Shop or Vietnamese Bar and talk to the girls working there. They make $200+ an hour or more for using their bodies, and on YC you have individuals and teams grinding away for pennies on the dollar for the man hours spent to get a startup off the ground.

Talk to any of those girls working at those coffee shops and the vast majority of them will tell you that they have made a calculated decision to use their bodies for their advantage. Not all of the girls, some girls fall on hard times and have to make due with one of their assets. It's not a fortunate circumstance to be in, but so is being homeless. And guess what? Some of them invest that money into higher education, and end up with advanced degrees. Due to leveraging their bodies. So again, generalizations don't work when talking about gender.

So please, get rid of your narrow mentality on how women think and work. You're living in a world of ideals, a nice bubble to be in but not an accurate representation of reality.
Thanks for some perspective from the other side.

It's too easy to demonize people who I'm sure don't want to be engaging in this bullshit in the first place.

I'm sure there are sales staff who get off on shafting customers, but I don't think you can say it's all of em.
All the complications you mentioned can be, and usually are, modeled as additional constraints on PD.

You can add arbitrary constraints on PD, such as a 50% chance that a third party will punish you for defecting. More importantly, you can play PD many times in a row and have each round's incentive structure depends on the result of previous rounds, sort of like encrypting in CBC mode.

The rewards and penalties don't need to be jail time, either. You can gamble with money, your life, or anything else you value. Usually it's done with some representation of money, because money is easy to measure and more intuitive to people who've never been in a prison.

The iterated (many rounds) variant is extremely powerful, as it allows researchers to simulate all sorts of complicated constraints. For example, other players might become more likely to defect on you if you defect on them three times in a row (three strikes). Certain players (the mob boss) might be much more interested in your performance than others, and defect on you much more severely when disappointed. You might be given an opportunity to reset your records (rehab or pardon) after a certain pattern of defection and cooperation, or maybe it will be game over (death sentence) after a different pattern. Iterate a few million times, and you've got a pretty damn accurate picture of how effective each policy will be in discouraging defection (crime).

Iterated PD also allows researchers to study whether a given incentive structure is stable, i.e. doesn't change much over thousands of iterations. According to the article, the incentives that give rise to police corruption are stable, but tweaking the constraints in a certain way can disrupt them.

A decent VM system will give you HA and load balancing (ie migrating VMs from overloaded hosts) for free.

Something docker/kubernetes still can't do.

Its also worth bearing in mind that the "vm penalty" is almost trivially small compared to the cost of dev time.
Not currently. We are looking to introduce easy interfacing with Spearmint, a library which does bayesian hyperparameter search. This should be part of the v1 release.
This is definitely illegal. Surely it is even illegal to track your employees by their phone even when they are on company time, right? If it is considered illegal for police to use tracking devices on vehicles without a warrant, surely employers are subject to the same laws, if not more strict rules.

I think that was in part futureproofing.

Back when IPv4 was put in place, they had no idea the net would become so important. Now they know, and so going all the way to 128 helps futureproof.

Also, look at the (though media over-hyped) Y2K thing. that was a case of "good enough" that ended up staying in production way beyond expectation.

Heck, there are companies out there selling devices that allow "old" industrial looms to load patterns from SD cards and such when they were originally designed to take floppies. This via a device that have a floppy cable connector at one end, a SD slot at the other, and fix inside a 5.25" or 3.5" drive bay.

Computational stuff seems to stay in use way longer than anyone imagined back when every year or so seemed to produce whole new architectures.

My friend was put into a coma for 6 weeks, suffered a traumatic brain injury and spent a year and a half in rehabilitation because she drove through an intersection on a green light as soon as it went green.

JSX [1] is essentially a syntax fix for something people have been doing for a long time in JavaScript with DOM building libraries.

Having extensively used nested function call (like MochiKit.DOM [2]) and nested JSON-ML-ish array (like dombuilder [3]) variants of DOM builders in the past, JSX's syntax is a lot more friendly to write and maintain.

Koreans are also extremely image conscious and love parading around with prestigious international luxury brands - possibly even more so than the Chinese. They are also extremely proud of Korea as a nation and tend to favor Korean brands in everything other than luxury prestige goods. And Samsung is basically their national icon.

So I imagine the average Korean must be quite in conflict when buying a smartphone - the recognized international symbol of smartphone prestige and luxury (the iPhone) vs the nationalistic Galaxy. But given their booming economy, I guess many just buy both...

To downvoters: While EU is almost certainly nonsense, keep in mind that cranks are the people who would be most interested in finding flaws in the standard models, so if those flaws exist, one might well hear them from cranks, even if their own models are far worse.

If you look at this, don't look at it to become more certain in EU, look at it to potentially become less certain in the standard model. Flaws are points of confusion we can mine for novel insight.
Branch prediction is already extremely efficient for loops, it simply assumes the last comparison will be the same. For loops this is true for all but the first and last iteration.
Ask HN: How can I find a growth hacker who wants to join a “lifestyle biz” SAAS?
Me and my friend run a small SAAS that is the leader in our tiny niche. The SAAS is 8 months old and profits about $20,000 USD per month from about 400 users who basically all pay $50 per month. Our growth curve is nice and stable and upwards and it definitely has plenty of room left to grow.

We have also just completely finished building our second SAAS, which we will be re-marketing to our existing customers. The current two existing leaders in this niche (a different type of software used by the same type of customer) profit between $100,000 and $200,000 USD per month.

I want to step back from the grind of the daily marketing efforts (which involves doing many, many things which don’t scale) and assume a more managerial role.

But these are fundamentally not startups; we have a clear profit model and these are not ideas with billion-dollar scale. Without expanding the scope of our feature-set, our first SAAS will top out it’s earning potential at a number no higher than $50,000 USD per month, and our second SAAS will probably never earn much more than $200,000 USD per month.

The goal of this business is not to make me a billion dollars, but rather to provide me with some practice before I build my billion-dollar business, while also allowing me to enjoy a pretty ideal lifestyle today.

Given that, how can we go about hiring a marketer on mostly percent-of-growth terms? Are there any growth hackers out there that aren’t currently trying to make a billion dollars and are instead just looking to support themselves while learning the ropes? How does one go about hiring a SAAS marketer anyway? I Don’t live in the valley.

We’d love to find someone that thinks they have what it takes to be a SAAS marketer, but who doesn’t have a SAAS and as such needs one to “practice” with.
The other major downside being the extra level of indirection, which could potentially cause an extra cache miss per method call. A drop in the park bucket compared to most other languages, but a serious consideration for many of the areas that C and C++ dominate.

I think that will be necessary. The selling point is that these cars drive better than people and get into far fewer accidents. As the manufacturer, you have to show you believe in that.
No, it's not an accepted fact.

I understand that you are simply repeating what you learned, but you learned inaccurate information.

It's possible your mistake is because there are some that believe that the Canaanite religions and Judaism were practiced in parallel by the same peoples, but one is not descended from other.
I think Keen makes two points. One is (as it often is the case in Debunking Economics) that this is "surprising" for students of economics. He cites various textbooks, like Mankiw. If economists know these things, why do they lie to students? It is indoctrination, plain and simple.

The second point, IIRC, is that the Cournot model of perfect competition is mathematically wrong. The assumptions that no firm can influence the price and decreasing demand curve are contradictory, regardless whether or not these provide a good model for the real world.
Yeah the window manager.

I only want a tiling window manager, a couple of browsers, Sublime Text 3, and access to the internet.

For your amusement let me point out some implicit assumptions that are required for that to be true. The country in which I live has criminal defamation laws that would result in you going to jail for posting that video - the truth is not a defense against defamation here, unlike other countries. Also, the authorities would likely demand the video be taken down or they would require ISPs to block it within the country.

It's not automatic for me, which is why I found it annoying enough to ask. If a writer writes 'an SQL query', that doesn't bother me at all, but if a writer writes 'a SQL query', it takes me a while before I start hearing it in my head as 'a sequel query' -- until then, it just sounds wrong.

Worse is that some writers seem to mix it up, use both periodically.
> Accepted fact

Whoah. Be careful slinging around the F-bomb, bro.

When talking about causation of events where there is no data, much less reproducible data, you certainly have room to disagree with some evidence and prefer others, but it goes too far to claim "Judaism is actually derived from ancient Babylonian polytheism" is unassailable fact.

That may your belief--and you may interpret some evidence to support your belief--but as you'll be quick to point out to others, having a belief doesn't mean it's true.

The bar for something being a fact is higher than that.
> They seem almost completely unrelated to enums in C and other languages.

They're not. Payload-less enums devolve to C enums. Rust's enum simply build the enum+union enumeration pattern into the language, and allow leaving out the "union" part.
I read that back when it was first published, believed it, and built a few teams using it's philosophy. I've also been at a few big companies that haven't followed it's direction. In my experience it doesn't work unless you have a small team and a small company and even then you are often left with fickle programmers who leave when the next fad comes along because your company can't justify rewriting its systems with the latest fad tech.

It depends on what you want out of the situation.

If you genuinely just want to be rid of the client, then just walk away. You've done more than enough already.

If you want to see if you can turn this problem-client into a good one, then maybe you can talk with them (firmly) about setting up a payment plan or some-other-way for them to pay off the extra work you've been doing.

If you want a good reference from the client in the future (semi-important if you're still building-out your portfolio) then maaaaaaybe I'd transition away over 2 weeks or so. But that's only if their reputation is fantastic and they'd make a great reference in the future.
