That was a ridiculous and divisive article. I'm not surprised it was penalised - controversial stories like this attract flamers and trolls - and that killed K5.
Yes. Please add a way to reliably determine metadata on hiring posts. I wrote https://github.com/perspectivezoom/curated-hn-hiring but abandoned it after a couple months because it took way too much time to tag all posts.

By far the most important information seemed to be location and/or remote filtering. Gaganpreet stepped up and is doing a pretty good job with https://github.com/gaganpreet/hn-hiring-mapped, but it's still not 100%.

I would really love for whoshiring to provide this pipe-delimited template, and then optionally allow posters to conform to it. I also agree with danso's order of importance, but would also like to add that the location string(s) should be something geocodable by Maps APIs (ie, feed the string in and get an unambiguous LatLng).
It's interesting, I'd say that Subway were absolutely ahead of the game when it came to healthy eating - and made moves that chains like McDonalds haven't even matched yet.

Maybe that's the fate of all these chains - you innovate to get in front, then you go stale. I'm sure it'll happen to Chipotle eventually, too.
Just search the word intern with a space after it. Remote matching no remote is harder but if we have a remote indicator why would anyone say no remote? If they did it would be a sign you don't want to work for them ...
Another definition? In the spaces where it is used it refers exclusively to PTSD triggers and such. Trigger warnings mostly originated on the Internet - claiming the Internet perverted them is nonsensical.

It's not the same as someone disagreeing, but nobody has said that it is. Why would you think that this is what people mean? Do people seem to be triggered by trivial things? Well, that's how trauma can work. It's not people misconceiving the concept.

A description of something that happened can cause people to relive trauma. Yes, it doesn't work like that for all survivors, but that doesn't invalidate the reality of everyone else. Triggers are specific to individuals and personal.

It is a completely reasonable and utterly inoffensive thing to suggest that people warn about things that might cause certain people to relive trauma.
How copyright law threatens your right to repair your car
They seem to be voting on cloture to end debate atm (6:45PM ET). This will probably lead to the passage of the bill.

It's strange that so many democrats are voting for cloture when a filibuster seems to be the only option to prevent the bill from passing.

$905,000, and presumably there's a premium for being in working condition. I think there's also a small market of people who have the money and care to spend it on this, so prices can fluctuate quite a bit.
> when people talk about fixed income, they refer to the low risk government one

I am sorry to say this is incorrect. No knowledgeable person will refer fixed income as "low risk government one". Fixed Income covers a broad range of assets that are typically debt-based, non-equity based that generate periodic payments/interest. This includes Government Bonds, Corporate Bonds, and other debt securities (Real Estate, Consumer Loans, Invoice Financing, come to my mind). Fixed income is a very large and complex (much more than equities) field and calling it as just "low risk government one" is a disservice to the field.

> According to Markowitz, you buy fixed income as "risk free" asset, to offset an optimal portfolio of risky assets.

I would like to see reference that attributes this to Markowitz. Markowitz's Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM) refers to "risk-free" rate but never specifies if fixed income equates to risk free. There is no risk-free assets. Anything close to being considered "risk free" is very short-term (not long term) government paper issued by US, UK, Germany, Switzerland and Japan.
Yaml I think would take too much vertical space and make reading the normal thread not as useful as it is right now.
Phasing out coursera Certificates
Oh No! Call me a certificate junkie but certificates offer a sense of accomplishment much like a degree offers verification that a level of achievement has been satisfactorily obtained. Certificates indicate worth, value,knowledge gained,notable effort,validation of expertise,ability,perseverance, commitment without which we would not think, in the broader sense of application to the real world, of confidence in being effective and efficient in what was learned.

I really liked Subway back in my college days in the 90s. What I don't like for the past decade is that I found I'm somewhat sensitive to gluten and have cut any unnecessary sandwiches from my diet.

Ostensibly, Chipotle (and even Taco Bell) can offer me a meal that's relatively gluten free (and even low on carbs for the carb-conscious).

I wonder if the Atkins anti-yeast anti-carb and simultaneous gluten free awareness efforts are impacting the chain?

Is Panera Bread doing well, while Subway isn't? Why?

I know they did have some ok-tasting atkins-compliant wraps a while back, but not sure anymore.
>Just search the word intern with a space after it.

This isn't a solution because posts say "interns welcome" or stuff like that.
Huh, I've never actually heard of using OCaml for system programming. Interesting!
Do you have a reference for this?

It would seem to me that if the observable universe has X particles, and each particle has two states, then the observable universe is in one of at least 2^X possible states, since light has had the opportunity to cross from one side of the observable universe to the other (or it could be off by only a factor of two, considering that the observer is somewhere in the middle).

Or look at it from another perspective. My computer has 4GB of ram. That is 2^35 bits, and thus it has 2^(2^35) possible states (huge!) Since my computer is only a small part of the universe, the universe must have a much larger number of possible states.
A friend of mine said "people feel uncomfortable when they see others doing things they they themselves want to do." While like you, I don't endorse abuse of any of the good things in life, since they lose value, I think the saying "to each his own" is apt. Until the day comes, if it ever does, when people don't "shame" others for their desires, do what makes you happy.

I don't consider SN to be a good alternative to Slashdot. It exhibits many of the same problems as Slashdot, but they're usually worse at SN than at Slashdot.

While many of the stories are the same at both sites, they're typically on Slashdot well before they're on SN. Many low-quality submissions get through on SN, as well, most of which would have no chance at Slashdot. Of these low-quality submissions at SN, many of them come from a small number of frequent contributors who are known to consistently send in biased and inflammatory submissions. While Slashdot's editors aren't known for doing a good job, we aren't seeing anything better out of SN's editors, and in fact I'd say they're doing a worse job based on some of the submissions I've seen there that have made it to the SN front page.

The SN community is also quite tiny. Most of the comments I've seen come from a relatively small number of people. Slashdot still offers a much larger community. This results in much better discussion at Slashdot, while much of the discussion at SN is inane, if not totally off topic.

Slashdot's moderation system isn't great, but I do find it generally does help me identify high quality comments, while also helping me to disregard low quality comments. That's not the case at SN. When I read the comments at SN, I always have to set it to show -1 comments. Very insightful and informative comments often end up at -1 on SN, while many of the highly-rated comments are absolutely worthless. The very small number of active users results in an even smaller number of users who are allowed to moderate, and this has resulted in the moderation system being used to push specific agendas or target certain other users, rather than giving a quasi-objective rating of a comment's value. The moderation system at Slashdot is generally helpful. The moderation system at SN is used as a weapon.

SN had a lot of potential. But now that the Slashdot beta site is gone, and likely won't be back, the biggest benefit of SN is gone. With its lack of quality submissions, with its small community, with its moderation problems, and with it's other less-serious flaws, SN provides no benefit over Slashdot. Slashdot offers better stories faster, its community offers wider and deeper points of view, its moderation system is much fairer and more balanced, and it's just a much better news source than SN is.
The US has a very limited concept of individualism, which seems to overlap significantly with "success" defined purely in financial terms, or as some form of force projection - either charismatic and persuasive, seductive, violent, or all three.

If you look at the US media, there's almost no coverage at all of other ethical systems and other forms of individuality.

The closest thing to a break was the drop-out culture of the late 1960s. But even that burned itself out and turned into a business opportunity.

It's so incredibly pervasive, it possibly seems like the only possible world view - even though it isn't.
1. Good work.

We get about as many good candidates from these posts as we get from the other recruitment channels together. Invaluable for us. Thanks!
This is somewhere inbetween "duh" and "aha!". Obviously, you can foresee how this data would be available. That they request so much of it is a bit surprising, and that "anti-war" has the same meaning as "terrorist" is certainly upsetting to hear.

I wonder how correlatable (totally a word) it is to identify something like a persons HN identity is, given SSL. All that data should be entirely encrypted, right? Only the URL's would be visible, so they could know you have an account.

Let's not forget their suicide letter for martin luther king. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2014/11/fbis-suicide-letter-dr...

For every one of these cases that come to light, there are certainly countless that never have/never will. This is infused in their culture and mindset; nobody that was around then is around now, but the behavior and attitude of the organization clearly lives on. They have a strong "us vs. them" ethos, like many organizations in government. They're in the trenches, fighting the good fight, the righteous fight. An extreme example, but Nazi's thought the same thing; it's an easy trap to fall into.

no amount of secrecy is enough for them, because the things they do/have done would likely cause riots. When they say "for national security" that's really what they mean - people would be SO upset if they heard everything, that the blowback could be disastrous both as a country as well as for the individuals responsible.

But, people do mean well. At least most. People are easily lead astray, and can do things at the beheast of sociopaths, criminals who have wiggled their way into power, or simply from organizational inertia (see: police brutality).

It's easy to be angry about this stuff, and maybe you should be. But most don't need punishment, just to be shown a better way.

I like Subway because it seems healthier than McD's, et al. and it's predictable (like McD's).

But lately there's a certain price point which they seem to have exceeded that's sending me back to drive thrus.
Quick mental math: 2.5k transactions or so in a block, 3 cents each for transaction fee means that it costs $75 or so to fill up a block with economically irrelevant transactions (i.e. moving money from one of your pockets to the other). This means you can degrade the performance of the Bitcoin network for about $10k per day.

You can probably optimize that down to $3~4k or so by being smarter about the transactions you're DDOSing with. This is left as an exercise for the reader.
One of the things I miss most from the semester I spent in Berlin in college is the little hole-in-the-wall doner stores on seemingly every street. Here in the States, I can find Greek gyros in places, but I really enjoy the Turkish variant better.
I was thinking about spec compliance. I think the best thing would be to provide these guidelines in the whoishiring post, and then ask that those who follow the guidelines put a unique string, like "metafriendly" or "whoshiringspec" at the end of the post. Then those of us who write mini-apps would know that the post conforms to the format.

And the fix would be as easy as requiring any computing device that can be reprogrammed to be distributed along with programming documentation, including reprogramming instructions. This way one would own the electronics, not merely rent the software.

The whole travel experience is different when you're female. A lot of this is due to the fact that one is not perceived as dangerous, but at the same time vulnerable.

This means people are in general more open, especially other women, and especially those in cultures with more pronounced differences between the genders. Other women will be much more open to helping, in hitchhiking, in couchsuring and elsewhere.
Guys will also be more open, but often enough in an unwanted way, which thus always has to be considered (Schroedinger's rapist). Not all offers should be accepted. Thus, it's easier and harder.

I really like Flux because the one directional flow makes it really simple to reason about the code. But when I saw the dispatcher and all those switch case statements that's where they lost me.

So I built this minimal flux library on top of RxJS and until now it did everything I needed.

Maybe it's useful for someone else too.

Bingo. I also think they showed their hands when they uttered this gem in Jewel VS NSA, wherein the government argues in a way protecting the interests of Verizon, et al.

> AND WE SET THIS FORTH, AGAIN, FOR THIS COURT IN OUR MOST RECENT FILING IN WHICH THE DNI ASSERTED THE STATES SECRET PRIVILEGE AND EXPLAINED TO THE COURT THAT NOTWITHSTANDING ALL THESE TERRIBLE DISCLOSURES THAT OCCURRED OVER THE PAST YEAR -- IN FACT, THIS IS THE ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY -- DISCLOSURES THAT WE ARE CONVINCED THAT HAVE SERIOUSLY HARMED THE NATIONAL SECURITY OF THIS COMPANY

"National security of this company", eh? That sentence doesn't make the slightest bit of sense unless it's taken for granted that "National Security" means "the financial health of Verizon".

I generally find the bias against recruiters here to be a bit narrow minded and short sighted. Yes, they're a pain. Yes, most are idiots misrepresenting themselves from the first second they talk to me.

Why can't you be nice but firm at the same time?

I know people who tries to be stubborn to cover up their lack of knowledge.

Usually, those people are smarter than the majority but not quite smart enough to realize that they're not always right.

One thing I don't understand is why Steve Jobs took credit for some of the stuff that Jony Ive did (assumming this is true). He's already the CEO, so unless he was worried about Ive usurping his position, there was absolutely no point.

People talk behind your back and the truth will usually get out. It's just miscalculated and ego-driven with absolutely no gain, monetarily and socially.

Then we have the story of him scamming Wozniak over his fair share of the Atari bonus. Maybe Jobs thought they wouldn't have a long friendship left?

Forget nice or jerk for a moment, but would you sell your friendship with a genius for that small amount of money?

At this point in his life, Jobs was a nobody and without Wozniak, he would probably still be a nobody.

Imagine if Wozniak found out earlier. Imagine if Ive went over to a rival company.

Some of these jerks do not realize how long people hold grudges and what an angry person is capable of. A lot of it is just childish like a bully beating up some small kid for no reason.

It's not smart or assertive, just short-sighted. Look at how many revolutions were started by hunger and poverty. Millions of Irish people starved to death during the Potato Famine and evicted from their land while their landlords happily dined on lobster soup. The Irish Republican Army is still running around today.

It's people like this that breeds problem in the world.
Today most of us are not dying from hunger in the first world but just go back in time a little bit and you can watch these "jerks" dining on abalones, shark fins, caviar while riding inside their cozy palanquin.

They do leave some scrap left for the peasants though, enough to stay alive, work and pay tax. But they see it as theirs to begin with, so it's ok. All that generosity "trickling down".

Being a jerk pays, until it doesn't.
An architect of lore would be one who architects (designs) lore, while an architect of yore would be an architect from days gone by. The former makes no sense in this context, IMO.

This is Angel Sean from USA, am sharing this article to give thanks to Dr. Ebakor who helped me to bring back my EX lover that broke up with me for 2 months. I was searching for advise on what to do to get back my EX lover and i came across a post of a woman in USA called Angela Shuane giving thanks to Dr. Ebakor for helping her to get back her lost HUSBAND who left her for years with her kids. I contacted the spell caster for help due to the fact that i needed my EX lover desperately because he is my lover and my life. To God be the glory, my EX lover came back to me within 12 to 16 after Dr. Ebakor finished preparing the spell and i want the world to join me to give thanks to Dr. Ebakor for helping me. Viewers reading my article that also need his help should contact Dr. Ebakor with his email : ( DOCTOREBAKORSPELLTEMPLE@HOTMAIL.COM ), with his number on :{+2348135254384} OR you can also call me with my number to know more on (603) 567-4715.
No mention of undefined behavior? That's the first thing I tell people about C, considering how easy it is to trigger.

I accept that Coursera wants to earn money. But if paid, verified certificates can't fulfill this wish to Coursera (others on this discussion page already have argued, why it is not that easy to offer additional value for verified certificates), why doesn't Coursera try a completely different way to earn money:

It is often discussed on HN that there is a lack of qualified, say, programmers, data science experts etc. The "typical graduate" of Coursera courses is an ideal candidate to fulfill this role: Why doesn't Coursera instead let employers pay for access to their user database so that they can find high-potential candidates for their open jobs (a little bit similar to Stack Overflow Careers, but with a different focus). Why don't startups that look for underestimated, say, Python programmers search the Coursera database for good graduates of some Python programming course on Coursera. I can imagine that there could be money to be made if the often argued shortage of qualified programmers etc. is true.
