Yes, yes, all of these observations are true.

The best remedy to this that I've found is simply more education. The majority of the freshman class were creationists in my college, but the majority of the senior class ended up evolutionists. It just takes thinking and exposure, especially from other Christians. Someone might grow up in a small world where to be Christian is to be creationist. Then he meets thoughtful, well-educated devoted Christians that aren't creationists and it opens his mind to other possibilities.

You really can't argue with creationists. I've gotten to the point where I don't argue with anyone that doesn't have a sufficient scientific background and shift the discussion toward whether they're knowledgeable enough to have such opinions. Then I challenge them to take some basic biology 101 coursework so we can actually have a real discussion.
No way! It's more like a $15K/year job.

1) The tax treatment on 1099s is worse than for W2s

2) You're basing this on working (and billing) 2000 hours a year. That's not remotely reasonable, because contractors often have to spend time finding new jobs.

Plus 2000 hours is grueling! That means a strict 2 weeks of vacation - no sick time, no Christmas, no nothing. This is not how a W2 worker is treated, and most W2 workers (especially knowledge workers) can't produce quality work for 8 hours per day, year-round.
I signed up. Clicked on the survey, clicked back, got a blank page. Did it again, got a live page. Did it one final time, got a blank page. Tried it again just now, blank page (but there is HTML in the page source).
I'd argue that NNs (i) have to have a strong bias towards sensible structure to work well (e.g., use image topology in convolutional networks), and that (ii) a trained NN models one particular mode of the distribution, similar how Variational Bayes fits to one particular mode.

Which is arguing for ensembles of neural networks, which - as people have found out - are even more effective than single NNs.
I'm curios what tech stack they use for this?

My degree was in linguistics (although it is not my current profession), and I wholeheartedly agree with your comment.

My personal opinion is that claims of polyglotism are quite often (if not usually) exaggerated, whether intentionally or not. There are many different metrics for language proficiency, but they are all just samples of a person's linguistic competence rather than a complete picture. For that reason, they're prone to the same issues as general intelligence tests. A high score on a language test is no guarantee of fluency just as a high IQ is no guarantee of intelligence-- and this is all assuming the person claiming to be fluent has even taken such a test, which is rare. I think more often people have individual standards for "fluency", which vary wildly. Again, I'm not saying that people intentionally mislead others about their own language ability, or that there aren't any true hyperpolyglots-- just that such claims should be taken with a grain of salt.

Both the description of the critical hypothesis in the article and the person who described it as "a bunch of crap" are wrong. The hypothesis actually states that there is an ideal window for language learning that occurs at a young age, whereas the article presents it as "a narrow window during childhood in which we can pick up the nuances of a new language". No serious academic linguist that I have ever met subscribes to a definition that rigid. Adults absolutely can pick up on the nuances of a new language, but for the overwhelming majority it takes considerably more time and effort compared to a child in the critical period.

I do believe that language learning for adults can be made more efficient than it usually is (e.g. the classic cookie-cutter layout of every foreign language textbook I've ever read), and perhaps some of the strategies laid out in the article are effective, but that does not discredit the critical period hypothesis and it's still going to take a lot of effort for a typical adult to become fluent in a new language.
Your analogy doesn't hold up, as (for one) we have society and plants don't. I'm glad that child porn is illegal (which is usually distributed in files), as it makes the world safer for children.

Also: some plants are serious jerks.
The answer is yes. The forum is not trying to channel the conversation through a pre-determined dialog.

Likewise a website is able to do a better job of figuring out who you should vote for than listening to campaign ads. In the last several elections I've used http://www.selectsmart.com/president/ as a starting point for figuring out who I support.

If you read the link, the file attributes (Hidden and/or System) of place no bearing on the MBR/Bootloader. Even the OP Article also acknowledged that. You can also read about this on wikipedia [0]. Bootloaders are essentially JeOSes [1] (in modern parlance) that can do root directory searches for key boot/OS files, independent of their file attributes. I've seen custom bootloaders depend on certain files being in certain locations or having certain names. Dave Dunfield's [2] "DOS-less" EMBEDPC [3] comes to mind as a bootloader that supported this.

True, but contractors might also get overtime pay, so we can't just assume it's strictly worse. You also only have to actually work the hours you work, rather than working extra hours without extra pay.
If any of my math classes had wasted a bunch of time on, "While we know that 2+2=4, there are a bunch of people who believe that 2+2=5, here's why they're wrong," I would have been rather annoyed.

I am not a rails developer but I have seen that rails developer have alot of inertia and they won't switch to grails. Grails is only attracting Java developers who are fed up of exhaustive configurations. Unfortunately books written for grails also assume that you are switching from one of java to grails.
Hopefully, we'll have Scala support with Java 9, when Quasar is expected to work will all JVM languages automatically. We might also add support beforehand, but the problem is that supporting Scala is a large effort, due to its complicated compilation, which isn't justified by the number of Scala developers, compounded by the fact that developers who like monads -- and developers who choose Scala often like monads -- will find the excellent Akka framework very satisfactory. Clojure and Kotlin have far fewer users, but supporting them is easy, as their compilation is fairly straightforward.

We are, however, more than happy to accept contributions towards supporting Scala.

Though the headline is obviously doing its job, I'm just not willing to swallow the presupposition that developer people exist in the same way that male and female exist or that Asians exist. Developers as they are called are just people with a range of skills, and the same goes for accountants. I even heard a good accounting school has a program for accountants with a proclivity for programming.

I admit the title isn't absolutely fascist, racist, or sexist, but it is some kind of ist, and it is annoying. Maybe accountants, with self congratulatory pride in their profession, feel the urge to divide the world up into neat little categories?

You might get people who intimately know an issue from reddit, but they won't know the politics or political players as well.

Also, if you do get someone that intimately knows an issue from reddit it is likely from a very personal point of view. Sometimes that's not a problem but you'd have to really think about how their personal agenda colors the question...with strangers this is not always clear.

Professional journalists are supposed to be somewhat removed which provides useful perspective -- or at least a perspective that is more generally applicable.

So, no, they wouldn't be able to do what Woodward and Bernstein did. BUT they could offer valuable insight and perspective that contributes to the whole that would be hard to fish out any other way so I definitely wouldn't dismiss them.

I don't like the word "lie," because it implies too much about people's motivations. A lie is a statement that the person believes to be false but says anyway. Creationists usually believe their own proclamations, so it's not a lie. It is, however, false. Creationism is false, both in large and in detail, in that it makes a great deal of claims that are demonstrably untrue.

And as to the "spying" thing...

If you find Google's tools useful, then use them. If you don't, then don't.

I get an email about my flight, and my hotel. Google Now pops up to let me know it's time to leave for the airport, and reminds me where I parked my car. When I get close to the airport, it lets me know my flight is delayed, so I take it easy. It tells me what gate my flight is leaving.

If you say it's "spying" on me to provide me that service...? You and I just flat-out disagree about what "spying" is.

If I had a secretary as useful as Google, I'd give that secretary praise and raises. Why, when it's a company providing software instead, do you automatically attribute malice to it?

There's a tricky balance between confidence and arrogance and I think its an area I need to improve.

I think the solution is to use the right memory management tool for the job. pron is right that GC can be helpful for concurrent data structures (where the non-GC approach, hazard pointers, is basically just a GC), for instance. GC is also great when your objects have truly dynamic lifetime, such as open files in Unix from the kernel's point of view. But GC for all data tends to be overkill when your goal is to maximize performance: a pure number-crunching workload like a triangle rasterizer has no need for GC, since the memory management is so trivial that it's better for the programmer to manually specify it (and, ideally, have the compiler check that) than for the program to spend cycles figuring it out at runtime. So, in my view, the best memory management discipline is a flexible one that allows the choice between automatic and manual memory management on a case-by-case basis.

I'm contending exactly what I'm contending, that his understanding quite clearly comes from liberals telling him what conservatives think. The summary is basically "not even wrong". Arguing about "what conservatism is" would be an uninteresting sideshow.

If you think that's an accurate summary of the conservative position, then you too appear to have gotten your understanding of conservative positions from liberals describing them to you.

I'm not expecting to meet many conservatives on HN. I don't expect anyone here to agree very much with them. That would be silly, as I myself don't in many ways. But I believe in condemning things for what they are, not what we can caricature them to be.
Cool, thanks!

That said I wonder if 1 will always be that big an issue. What if you structure it so that you have a small number of large shareholders that represent larger groups? For example, in the case of stock options, a sort of labor union owns the stock, sits on the board and is responsible for distributing dividends to employees following a schedule of percentages.

2 is clearly troublesome, but perhaps more in the M than the A. If you acquire small companies, you may be able to do it in cash or again as some sort of contract entitling people to percentages of dividends. After all, that's kind of what a stock certificate used to be in practice, not just theory (yes oversimplification, but it seems people care far more about stock price than dividend these days).

I wonder whether these issues will always be as troublesome. As these kinds of mega deals become more common, it seems quite possible that a sort of parallel private market could emerge. Anyway, thanks for the reasoning!
> Productivity is well-defined

GDP is Gross Domestic Product, a measure of productivity. Every employed worker could be more productive while the U.S. loses productivity as a nation.

Finding ways to get more people producing useful things is what we need to think about. I was suggesting that we should reduce the cost of providing entry-level employment. This will make it cheaper for employers to hire the under-employed, under-educated, and mis-trained. At some point, the under-educated workers will become experienced workers, and likely more productive (in the individual sense) than the equivalent unemployed worker.
1. This is for their vendors - contracting companies who directly hire the employee.

2. I've worked many contracts, and I'm in one now. I expect to bill 2000 hours this year.

3. 2000 hours isn't grueling. I've done this much work a week in grocery retail and in IT, during the day and overnight, and it's easy. 2600 hours is rough. 3200 hours a year is grueling.

I have to disagree. Money does not create value, work does, and therefore investing money can not create any value on its own. You can of course invest money that is in turn used to enable the creation of value by work, for example by buying machines that are required for the work, but once the investment has been payed back any additional returns on this investment are just taking away a share of the value created by the work which rightfully belongs to the workers doing the work. Money can catalyze the creation of value but it does not create value on its own.

If you've been learning Flask take those sites that you use to learn with and host them up on Digital Ocean or the like. That way you'll have production and deployment experience. There are also a ton of open source products out there using Python. Reddit is one for example.

Don't tell them it will be anonymous :)

Just kidding. Sell it as a new format that is more likely to get at real answers and pick some candidates that aren't afraid of that. Let them tout their willingness as an indicator of integrity and question their rivals. Have a group of some of the best journalists in the business behind the curtain...as long as there are enough of them their anonymity is secure.

If they want to claim a question, let them. It wouldn't be hard. Have their home network have a envelope of the wording of the question that they can reveal in real time.
> GDP is Gross Domestic Product, a measure of productivity.

Product(ion) is not productivity. Productivity is product/(some input measure) -- laborers and laborer-hours are common input measures when measuring labor productivity, though there are other less common kinds of productivity one might measure.
