Absolutely! And as clever science-minded individuals, it's important that we DO learn from it before praising the all-powerful curative nature of wealth redistribution just because it feels good.
Thinking about something is useless unless you have a deep knowledge of the domain - including the ability to deal with the details, which are the downfall of many grandiose ideas. For example, if you don't know anything about computer architecture or chip fabrication, why would Intel want to know your thoughts about where microprocessor technology is going to go in the next decade? If you know nothing of aerospace engineering and orbital mechanics, why would NASA ask you about how to get to Mars?

Domain experts who are paid to think deeply about problems and propose solutions are called consultants. There are a lot of them out there.
Maybe it does, normally. But there's always an outside chance that everything's fine at the point you start writing a response, but goes pear-shaped before you finish. This wording just reinforces what's probably common sense, i.e. that there's no reason you'd see invalid JSON other than a hopefully-transient operational issue.
I would imagine specialized: resumes matter less and know-how (which is technically covered under most anti-competitive clauses, though IANAL) matters much, much more.
Separate files for each secret is a downside for me, particularly since it exposes the lookup key.

Who are the groups driving all of the mentions of basic income/mincome on social media? Or is it a coincidence that we're seeing more and more discussion of the topic on places like reddit and HN? I'm genuinely curious to know how organic this topic is, versus whether or not there is a concerted effort to "get the word out".

One thing which really stood out for me was about focus. Trying too many things at once - write a blog, freelancing, create a source might pull you in so many directions that achieving the first dream might become difficult.

What really does interest me though is - talk about subcontractors. This is one aspect I have been struggling on a bit. how does one find good subcontractors or outsource work properly.

Show HN: Ironclad – an automated legal assistant
It's a myth that the "left" does not do this as well. "Obamacare", food stamps and many other welfare programs are indirect corporate welfare. The military industrial complex, perhaps the most egregious example of corporate welfare is whole heartedly supported by both sides. Further evidence is how the same big banks donate huge amounts of money to candidates from both parties.
Letter to ICANN July 2015
The movie-star to politics transition pretty much is run from late 60s and mid 80s. The two storied legends are MGR in Tamil Nadu and NTR in Andhra Pradesh. J. Jayalalitha was protege of MGR and she took over after a internal struggle after MGR's death.
The present day India does have its movie-star to Politican transition most of them are topped off at the most as MPs or MLAs, many tried but nobody ever reached the zenith like MGR, Jayalalitha and NTR.

Movie stars in India esp. South tend to be super duper populists and when Movies were the only medium of entertainment (they still are primary) they wear their movie character out into the real world when they transform into Politicians.

The results are mediocre, but this transition brought a Personality Cult or should I say exaggerated that mentality, pretty much each politician in India who is running for Chief Minster or Prime Minister runs as if they are the "Savior" who will turn the 70 years mis-rule on the head.
You must be awfully tempted to constantly give them powerful adversaries who are willing to become friends if given the smallest chance.
Let me get this straight. To justify the protection of a light sculpture from photography, you create a scenario where the photographer is taking a bunch of pictures to build a "photosphere or VR-like presentation"? I shouldn't be allowed to photograph the sculpture because there is the possibility I will use these photographs to create some virtual replacement? This is how bad laws are made.
Reading in and storing the passphrase in a shell script seems like a bad idea, particularly since GPG already has a tool for reading passphrases that will cache your credentials.

[edit] I see that the passphrase is passed as a command-line argument. Aren't those viewable to other users on linux?
Snappy-start: A Tool for launching a Linux process from a snapshot
A better solution is to perform row-level snapshots with a compressed storage format, such as a column store. I maintain a database which takes monthly snapshots of data and supports an application that allows period vs. period comparisons of aggregates or even individual rows. In my case, I use snapshots, but more space efficient (at the cost of computation) would be to only store changed records, then dynamically determine which data to show based on the desired periods and sorted the row changes.
Rather than a series of spots, it almost looks as though there's a dark streak across much of the equator, with a few vertical light colored stripes crossing it. Definitely curious what future images show.
Science says nothing about identity being set in stone, at least not in the sense you hint it does. Our brain's capacity for universal computation far exceeds any genetic variation. Always look for effect sizes. What science sometimes says is that there are some statistically significant differences between averages of some property among different populations, but you'll always find that the variance within each population is much larger than the effect size. So actually, popular opinion is very much in agreement with science in this case.
Math person here. I'm curious to know if anyone used decimal numbers in their tests and if negative numbers were used. The rule is increasing real numbers and one can guess that the rule is increasing numbers without realizing this includes all real numbers and not just integers.

In addition to getting it right did you use an exhaustive set of tests?
Hey HN! we created a better way to handle the most common paperwork needed by startups. Just sync a Dropbox folder with us and we’ll take care of all the legal paperwork for NDAs, Contractor agreements and LOIs and organize it in that folder automatically for you. We’re really looking for feedback on the flow and so any feedback is much appreciated.

The best way to jump right in is to go through signup and do a Letter of Intent (LOI) - you can just sign one with yourself to try it (use the same email, but use a slightly different name so you can tell the parties apart).

Thanks for taking a look!
did anyone else only try even numbers? guess "increasing even numbers"

pretty interesting how in-the-box my thought process was
I'm using Emacs for something similar.

This works because Emacs can open .gpg files. It will decrypt them on opening (asking for your password) and encrypt on saving. This is very powerful in combination with Orgmode (.org), or any other module that provides auto-folding.

So I open my .org.gpg file and everything is folded. Then I search for what I need, and only that part (containing some secrets) is unfolded.

Of course, this is no substitute for a proper password manager, but proved to be useful a lot more often than I initially thought.
Inherited Server from Bankrupt Startup

Could you elaborate a bit? Do you mean that you think that's too specialized to go anywhere else? But a solid base of "client-server" abilities at that level of demand will get you in the door in all kinds of places. With a pedigree like that one would merely need not get too drunk before the interview to walk on to almost any "cloud" team.
> - Most screen readers handle DOM updates just fine.

You sure about that? Because last I checked (and as I indicated in the linked comment), that's not actually true (at least not without some serious consideration from the app developer's side of things).

The rest of your comment, pleasantly-surprisingly, is good to hear (though I'm concerned that lower-end devices aren't getting enough attention; I know firsthand (from witnessing it with my coworkers and even with myself) how easy it is to assume that everyone has wonderful hardware and accidentally create something that readily bogs down hardware with even the slightest amount of age), and I do wish you the best of luck with this.
What? If OP is conditioned to associate titles in that format with conservative hit pieces, then that says more about the hit pieces. He would be correct to at least give more weight to the possibility that the next title in that format will match the pattern.

You wouldn't criticize him for thinking, "Maybe the next thing that growls will bite too."
You'd have to find a period in which the NIH or NSF or, hell, DARPA were handing out grants to creationists to the detriment of everyone else and research universities were hiring creationist professors and firing evolutionary biologists. After which the biologists got arrested.

The comparison is close to nonsensical.
"However, by far the biggest showstopper to SCTP adoption is the lack of session layer in TCP/IP and the broken Socket API. If you want to use SCTP with the Socket API, you have to indicate the protocol to use in the socket call, which means that every application that would benefit from SCTP support must be changed, recompiled and tested. There is no way that you could take existing applications, add SCTP support in the operating system and have a better-performing Internet as the result."

SCTP was never intended to be a TCP replacement or a basis for TCP or whatever Ivan Pepelnjak thinks it to be. It is a separate protocol which is designed to provide a different set of features to a different set of applications.

He and the large number of people, would like to have exactly their use-case covered by exactly the simplest possible interface, preferably baked into the kernel or even better, the hardware, for the best performance. I don't think it's going to happen.

I'm sorry I have to live in a world where networking === TCP, over port 80 or 443. It wasn't supposed to be this way.

What went wrong with SCTP? By the time TCP-friendly congestion control research had reached a critical mass and started producing results, everyone had given up, adopted TCP as the sole transport protocol, and the deck was strongly stacked against anything that wasn't running on TCP.

(This is an edited version of mcguire's comment that was needlessly inflammatory, hopefully we can have a more sensible discussion about it this way)

My answer was: "The sequence is of an increasing real variable, where each subsequent value is greater than the preceding value. It's monotonically varying."

I can't answer your form question if it is the right anwer, since I haven't clicked on their link and don't know for a fact whether it is or not.

This is a really strange comment to make.

First of all, this was 1997 +/- a year. They amount of stuff you could pull off the internet was radically smaller than today. The number of solved problems was radically smaller. So basically they went were few had gone before and created something successful that persists to this day. So heir career would be looking pretty damn good I would say.

Second, tech stack != career. I'm seeing this sentiment more and more on HN and it's weird. Especially weird in an industry know for its rapid change.

Your question is so backwards it almost feels like trolling.
Damn, they really accelerated the releases, but i guess that is to be expected when the release date is less than a month away :)

Love the change in speed of the releases.
Anarchism, at least anarcho-capitalism (there are many flavors of anarchism), also requires a strong rule of law. The difference is the law is enforced through private parties, and the enforcement of law is reactive to the initialization of force. There is one overarching law and that is the non-aggression principle.

I'm not sure if there is a conspiracy, I've observed a slow increase in it's coverage over the last few years. Much in line with the mainstreaming of ideas about robotic work forces and other technological advances like uber which are bringing unpredictable disruption to the labour market.

My guess would be a more so organic reaction to labour predictions.
This is really awesome! I had always just assumed the servers ran on Windows NT or similar. I'm not really sure why I thought that. Maybe because SphereServer and RunUO are/were for Windows so the association stuck in my head? But I never would have guessed Solaris.

It's really hard to have a discussion about UO without the urge to talk about how important it was to me (I've noticed I'm not the only one).

So rather than resist that urge... Ultima Online is directly responsible for me being a programmer. I was 13 when I got a copy of the game and an account thanks to my parents. It wasn't the first game I'd played where I'd wondered how it had been made but it was the first game I'd played where I couldn't even conceive of how it could possibly work. It was so different from anything else that I'd played before, including the first 8 Ultima games. Trying to figure that out led me towards programming in general and to SphereServer, the UO server emulator. The scripting system for SphereServer allowed me to change the game (for me and my friends only, but still) and really explore what's possible. By the time I was 16 I knew what I was doing for the rest of my life, even if it wasn't necessarily anything related to games.
While the HN crowd mostly gets this right when framed as a math puzzle, my guess is that confirmation bias is alive and well in high tech just like in any other field. One example:

Young 20s entrepreneur vs. early 50s entrepreneur. Without knowing anything about either person, which startup is more likely to succeed? Even if you have the business plans for both, and you meet both - which one are you going to be more skeptical about as you evaluate which one of them gets funding?

If you were only a bit more sophisticated in your thought (or knowledgeable in the issues you've raised) you'll see that what you dismiss as "identity politics" is very much related to those issues. But first, you need to know what politics is. Politics is the fight over the distribution of power in society[1]. Power[2] is the most important concept in the social sciences, and is roughly described as influence.

When you study power in society (and this is what researchers in the social sciences have done for about a century now, with major advances in the past 50 years or so) you see similar structures emerge. When you recognize those structures, you'll see that what makes fighting global warming, "casteization" etc. so hard, are the very same structures that are at the heart of racism and sexism (not to be confused with xenophobia and misogyny). Those structures aren't conscious conspiracies but mere emergent properties of how power flows -- and, more importantly, aggregates -- in the complex system of human society.

I mean, it also illustrates how training and systematic reasoning can improve these things. Whether explicitly or implicitly, I picked up certain skills and procedures for problem solving (from programming and math contests) that I now use by default. Trying a bunch of examples, coming up with a hypothesis, trying to disprove it, testing edge cases…

This doesn't mean I always use these—at the very least, I have to explicitly jump into "problem solving" mode—but it means they can be useful.

It's still a meaningful difference, and could very well apply to lots of things beyond this kind of puzzle.
The USA is very redistributive, but is less efficient in doing so in many ways than other countries.

For example the health care system in america is significantly less economically efficient then the health care system of Canada, which causes a lot of human misery in the USA.

To 'redistribute' wealth, you don't have to directly take money in the form of taxes and directly give it to others. You can also redistribute wealth with 2nd order effects such as rent control, or limiting the supply of doctors through unrelated expensive requirements and so on. Much of the economic inefficiency in the US's health care system comes from these 2nd order policies.

So am I leftist if I want the US to adopt single payer health care and to cut a lot of it's negative 2nd order policies? Or am I conservative/libertarian for wanting it?
I get that. But, current evidence suggests that the 'baseline' normal human IQ without genetic defects would be test at near genius levels in ideal environment. There seem to be a lot of genetic factors for intelligence but there almost exclusively negative and spread fairly evenly across populations.

It's often said that 50% of the veracity in IQ is inherited, but a lot of non-genetic factors like prenatal nutrition are inherited or defects that are spread fairly evenly thought humanity.

PS: Another factor shows up if your just looking at the top end. Where things increase variability without increasing the average.
So, the problem is not shifted onto the user?

Depends on how elastic the demand for the good is. Not everything can handle a large price hike like that. McDonald's, for instance, wouldn't be able to jack up their prices a whole lot, because then people simply wouldn't go there.

I've seen this agrument before, and I doubt it. It hasn't happened in any other industry, why would computing be different? Say computer chips, people think Moore, not Pfann. Say airplane, people think Wright, not Bernoulli. Say car, people think Ford, not Otto. In the future, saying computers will almost definitely make people think Gates, not Babbage.

Cool. The funny thing is I inserted a constraint of my own invention without even realizing it: "Use the fewest number of examples possible." Of course, this meant failing miserably, and was nowhere in the problem statement.

Perhaps that's an additional factor - not exactly confirmation bias, but not unrelated.
But we're not going from very poor to very rich. We're going from very poor to not that poor.

since your argument is about the effect of taxes, "median household income ... before deduction of taxes" (which is what the wikipedia page shows) isn't really a useful metric.
Interestingly, it would appear that monotonically increasing in general means "strictly increasing": http://mathworld.wolfram.com/MonotoneIncreasing.htm

It only means non-decreasing in the context of a monotonic function, where the definition, I believe, is that the derivative of the function is never <0.
The notion that having less of your money forcibly taken from you is a form of welfare really baffles my mind.
