Intelligence (being well-read, habitual 'mapper') should come before appearance. All these bearded hipsters, imitating the same personage from the "Into The Wild" movie or each other, are so ridiculous, especially in India or Nepal, where they seemed to believe that they belong to some alien super-intelligent race or something. But when you are trying to talk to them, they cannot express anything interesting, but a small set of current memes and cultural codes.

One such hipster once told me that he is from a different tribe of humanity, and commented two minutes later, that "the eachquake was nice, I learned a lot". And he isn't even acting - he is just that.

Status symbols must be not vearable. It must be healthy looks and open-mindedness - the effects of possession of at least some intelligence (evolution do favour looks of healthy youth, not purchased status items marketed as such. Not being able to grasp this simple fact means one isn't qualified even for a hipster).

BTW, real intelligence and real spirituality does not require any special attributes to make it self-evident. On the contrary, it is inversly correlated with appearance - the dreaded-and-tattooed hippues in rags marketed for tourists are the most primitive. Then come yogis, sages and babas. Breaded hipsters comes next.

As for status symbols to impress waiters and clerks, well, they could be much subtle and cheaper that a ₹1 lakh bag. Usually, the matching set of clothing which reflects your personal taste - texture and quality of a fabric, matching colors, simplicity of being good-enough is enough.

How to Speak Data Science a Funny Post
Hmm. By that logic, one VM compiles the app and produces or inserts it into another VM runtime environment....?
Really hard to read for me. I don't know the way the author expresses her ideas is hard to grasp.

The basic idea of course is right: You need to fake status if you don't have it, if you want some of the benefits.

But what is missing is some data. Because if we think that further, you can certainly overspend on that hope that one day someone let's you in on something because you have status. And probably many people do overspend on that (I'm thinking about the golden $10k Apple watch here as an example). There must be a way to evaluate how much is good and when it starts to hurt you. And I guess there should be a lot of science on that.
Isn't the real conclusion that all three tools failed the test case at some point (data corruption/too slow/aborted)?

As mentioned up thread, the size of the ground-side antenna is likely to be the size of a full laptop, so not something handheld. So this project would provide the back bone, and the Project Loon balloons would provide the "last mile", as it were.
This is a good approach for the times you can't use web workers. It's not just old browsers either. You can't draw to the canvas with a web worker.

Depending on what you're doing, you may want to yield after x operations rather than on every recursive invocation like the example shown. There is a performance cost to using setImmediate.
Basically yes. The dev container is used to build the production container's image.
Yes, I understand all that, but it's still not an answer to the question of what, given the facts as they are, the benefits are that make it worth going against that inertia.

Bitfortip – Get paid for answering questions
Yiddish was largely derived from Middle High German, and the irony of ironies is that the language that united Jews is so close to the language of Hitler.

Rest assured that the irony is on hitler too: in many polish towns the only thing remaining that remenbers one that this was Germany once are the inscriptions at yewish cemetries.

Just imagine that the holocaust Never happened: German would be much closer of what the Nazis thought it should be, a world-wide spoken language.

Bloomberg didn't study Physics because you had to know German for that. Accadamia abandoned German. As did most of german-americans.

Yiddish was the defacto language of many Zionist settlers. Israel speaking German, unimaginable today but a Real concern for zionist theorists that complained about too few people adopting hebrew.
When it comes to gay relationships, find some friends first. You need an in to the community, someone to invite you to the happy hour with their LGBT volunteer group or the queer short film festival. All you need is one or two people who are socially connected and get you started with gay events. You meet their friends, you go to the gay parties with them, you get familiar with the scene, and one thing leads to another from there. The odds are too slim in the world outside of gay centric events. You need to actively cultivate a gay community around you, because the tech life doesn't automatically lead to one on its own. This is doubly true if your outward presentation doesn't come off as 'gay' to other people. Making yourself visible to other gay people, even in subtle ways, makes a big difference. Take it from a straight-as-hell looking bi woman. I live in the city with the highest number of lesbian couples per capita, and I met no gay women for six months. Then, I went to one gay happy hour and met someone who told me about this lesbian tech conference, where I met a few more people, and now I hang out with gay people multiple times a week, and I have my first date since moving last year lined up for this weekend.

Search for gay events on facebook. Go gay hiking with a group from Meetup. Is there a StartOut chapter in your area? There is very probably a gay tech happy hour somewhere. Go to gay events until you feel like you're going to start barfing rainbows. Force yourself to do it. Look for gay networking on LinkedIn. Add a few people on Facebook (and check out their event feed, often there is gold in there). Make plans with two new potential friends. Once it starts going, it's easy to keep going.

Show HN: Web Apps for Researchers
Labii (http://www.labii.com) provides web apps for researchers. To date, 3 millions of apps have been developed to simplify our personal life. However, in academia, there are extremely limited number of apps for researchers, with the existing ones often outdated and difficult to use. Our platform brings advanced information technology into the process of academic research, by building research-orientated apps to integrate research resources, simplify research process and promote scientific collaboration.

Currently, we provide these apps:

Academic profiles - Online academic CV (http://profiles.labii.com).
You can document your academic experiences and activities in Academic Profile, and stay tuned with the newest updates from fellow researchers by connecting with others in your field of interest.

Research groups - Build laboratory websites (http://groups.labii.com).
If you have a Lab, or are collaborating with other scientists, you can start a Research Group on Labii, where you can build lab websites, post job openings and organize meetings etc.

Reference manager - IMDb for research papers. (http://references.labii.com)
The Labii Reference Manager, adopting the idea of “IMDb for research papers”, provides a platform for researchers to find, share, rate and comment on papers.

Electronic laboratory notebook. (Coming soon)
Laboratory Notes is an electronic notebook for lab notes. It offers a solution to increase efficiency in the process of repetitive experiments and data recording.
Depending on the app, a caching proxy (or CDN) with ESI support (and the appropriate ESI tags in the output) can vastly improve performance while retaining user-specific page content.

Personally I like varnish for this role.
Ask HN: Should we teach kids to avoid Ads
As long as we are living in a capitalistic world, we cannot do away with Ads completely. But I think there should be a balance. And as the 'forces' of capitalism wants to us as much ads as possible, we don't have any forces that opposes this. And I find Ads sneaking in more and more into our lives via different channels.

The danger that I see now is how oblivious people are to this fact. For eg. Most people consider Television as a means for THEIR entertainment. There was a time I used to believe that. But right now, I can only see it as a channel for advertising and the entertainment content is just used to bring you in front of it and keep you glued there. At no point in the course of my growing up, I had a reason to ask the question. "Is the TV in my house really for my entertainment?", and this I think is the most dangerous part. A missing awareness about what actually is going on. And how people does not see Ads and it's channels for what they are and hence are ok with them appearing in more and more channels..

Also there are cases where an Ad takes advantage of insecurities of a demographics to market stuff to them. I am from India and I know that people who can barely earn their living will spend money on Fairness creams that cost as much as a weeks food. The point here is not how the poor is exploited, but the huge influence such ads have on people (rich and poor alike) so that even someone who can barely earn their living ends up spending money to buy that stuff.

So my question is, should kids be taught about these stuff and teach them to avoid them as much as possible. I guess this will result in their increased well being (by reducing susceptibility to being taken advantage of their insecurities) and act as a checking force, at a personal level against the increasing prevalence of Advertising in our world..

Rubik's Cube World Record
Things don't even necessarily have to be expensive though. Someone that knows how to dress will be able to judge you in 5 seconds and clock you for what you're worth. The chest is too big, shoulder divots, sleeves not showing enough collar, why in god's name is it a 3 button, did you really match your pocket square to your tie, etc.

Simple things will betray you, much like accent and non idiomatic English. You might not ever speak to this person, but they will have formed an opinion about you in 5 seconds and poof! an opportunity slips by.

I know this seems "unfair" or maybe people will even say "yeah well if someone is so superficial maybe it's a good thing" these are all just ways of trying to rationalize an irrational world. Rather learn to play the game.

Reminds me of an article that came up on HN a few weeks ago:

Why Do We Play Video Games That Feel Like Work? - https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9495141
This is painful to read because it is true. It is very hard to explain privilege. Almost all (good) privileged people have a very hard time of seeing it. But how to fix it? My Fair Lady style? Trickle down? Charity? So far the only thing that worked was Revolution.
I think the fact that the use and disposition of the "superficially privately-held capital" is determined by individual private entities is actually fairly significant, even if they're losing a cut of the revenues. It strikes me as similar to the way in which paying taxes on our labor does not make us "slaves". Whether the lack, in this sense, of "state control of the means of production" is enough to make it "not Socialism" seems to be something people could reasonably disagree about.
FinTech Startup – Pros and Cons of Tech Stack?
I recently moved from a fortune 100 company to a FinTech startup. My background is mainly in infrastructure & security. However, I will be working very close to the development side.

I know this will be an open ended-question with a lot of answers around "it depends" but this is what I would like to know:

In the context of FinTech and startups, currently three people team (yours truly, one dev, and one CEO), zero-knowledge encryption, I will be working with the following tech stack - what are the pros and cons in your experience?

Webserver: NGINX
Application Frontend: Node.js + Gulp + React/Flux
Application Backend: Ruby on Rails
Database: MySQL
Infrastructure: AWS
Configuration Management: Chef
Code Repo: Github

Looking forward to your thoughtful advice!
There certainly are many approaches to getting ahead if just enough. I suppose some rely on 'status symbols', while others talk their way up the ladder. I don't think this justifies some people's ridiculous purchases of status symbols while they still live in poverty however, especially those who don't use them to gain a leg up in their situation. I feel like that was not considered in the writing of this article, I could be wrong though, or have overlooked it.
Of course.

But also it's really hard to avoid them all, they're very sneaky, with product placement in movies, etc.

But indeed, TV should be removed from your life entirely. Nowadays, you can get entertainment with the Internet, and it's easier to avoid ads there.
I have to disagree. Just having nanotubes flying around your blood stream could probably lead to cirrhosis as the nanotubes of a certain length or more would get trapped inside the liver, causing scaring and damage ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19801780) similar to how miners can get miner's lung (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pneumoconiosis).

Ultimately it depends on what form the nanotubes are in, but I don't want them just going nilly-willy around an environment.
Agree with you that there is no definition of HFT. If you define it by your trading forecast horizon then I've seen some people argue that HFT could be as long as a few hours. Could you argue that HFT on a multiple second or shorter forecast timescale is not HFT? I think HFT is, more broadly, any sort of intraday trading where your signals are derived from intraday tickdata.
What is the reasoning behind this?

I worked as a developer for 9 years and studied computer science for 8 years and besides a few classes in the first semester I never had to implement the things that are asked in an interview.

I have the feeling, that I have to take a few weeks of low level algorithm and data-structure practice to get a job where this newly practiced knowledge isn't needed anyway.
There doesn't appear to be a free tier for any device. I'm not sure what you're referring to.

labeling it 'whiteness' muddies things here. This kind of thing arose independently of any culture. But yeah, social mechanism --a cultural shibboleth.

Why do so many native english speakers insist _insist_ upon using French phraseology, even when the French phrase is quite cumbersome, if you understand French and there are native english counterparts? The same could be said about abusing buzzwords.

Basically, the goal is to mimic the received and expected behavior of where you are. If I were in india, it would behoove me to adopt more local norms in conducting business. Acting white and american, would do white americans a disservice.
This is a continuation of sumptuary laws (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sumptuary_law), which were laws regulating what you could wear depending on your social class. The supposed logic behind these laws was always to stop stupid poor people from buying expensive clothes they couldn't afford, but the real reason was always to preserve existing signals of wealth and class.

BitforTip allows users to ask questions to the public but the same users who ask questions will offer a bitcoin reward that will be given to the first member that gives the correct information that he was looking for..

For example, let’s say I wanted to know where to buy an item, or the answer to a math problem. All I would need to do is ask the question on BitforTip and deposit a small amount of BTC. Then, the person who answers correctly would get my reward of Bitcoin for themselves.

> What are some resources you can recommend for those seeking to become better programmers?

> The biggest thing for me, and that I have done personally and continue to do, is to sit at the feet of great coders. I have learned the most in my career when I have been around excellent people who I can learn off of.

I find hard to meet passionate developers from which I can learn from.

Likely, this is due to my career choices (I'm a consultant for large corporations). The last time I worked with a brilliant developer was ages ago. Most of the people I work with in these contracts, are 8-5 drones who are stuck with Java 6 and they are afraid of every new bit of technology (to be fair, it's hard to even tests certain technologies for them).
Anyway, this is one of the biggest regrets of my professional life.

Criticism of Hemingway's vocabulary led to one of the most famous anecdotes about him (from http://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Ernest_Hemingway):

On being informed that Faulkner had said that Hemingway "had never been known to use a word that might send the reader to the dictionary.":

"Poor Faulkner. Does he really think big emotions come from big words? He thinks I don't know the ten-dollar words. I know them all right. But there are older and simpler and better words, and those are the ones I use."

Interestingly, he says an expanded variation of the same thing in the OP:

“The test of a book is how much good stuff you can throw away,” he said. “When I’m writing it, I’m just as proud as a goddam lion. I use the oldest words in the English language. People think I’m an ignorant bastard who doesn’t know the ten-dollar words. I know the ten-dollar words. There are older and better words which if you arrange them in the proper combination you make it stick. Remember, anybody who pulls his erudition or education on you hasn’t any.
You control the whole tech stack thus a good selling point would be a longer lasting battery.

Perhaps it's also a shot in front of Intel's bow.
Last I checked, people in pretty much any country still get married and declare themselves religious in overwhelming majority. We don't have stats for physical activity (which is declining, yes, but for a majority? Probably not) and "quiet time".

Meh, the flashing-lights-in-games thing is waaaaaay overrated as a public health concern. Most photosensitive (=~'flashing light') epileptics require flashes in the range of ~8-18 Hz (mostly in 12-16 Hz), and even then it almost always takes some time to build up, and even then it's a fraction of epileptics that are susceptable. And flashing lights by themselves don't make non-photosensitive epileptics have seizures (or non-eplieptics). Only about 15% of people epilepsy with are photosensitive. A photosensitive epileptic will know to look away if they see their kind of triggering flash.

By the time you narrow it down to the mere handful of epileptics that will have a seizure from one or two flashes (ever hear anyone complain of a single camera flash and epileptics?), you're in a very rare group. At which point, nothing is safe - I heard of one epileptic who had seizures due to orange circles. Other colour circles were fine, other orange shapes were fine, it was just orange circles (which mean no driving...). Another patient had seizures when ice touched their lips. They do exist, of course, but at that point you're optimising for an incredibly rare user. If you're going to optimise for that, there's plenty of usability optimisations that hit way more people that you should be doing first :)

Source: spent four years doing several EEGs on neuro patients per day, each of which had a 5-minute session with a strobe light at various frequencies. Most of those patients were there for epilepsy or suspicion of epilepsy, but not all, of course. Seeing a photosensitive response at 8Hz was uncommon, but not rare. Some people had some response to single flashes (well, 1Hz) but it never built up to a dangerous level - I never saw someone in danger of having a seizure from 1Hz flashes.
