Wait - so because the world may be sexist, we should show children extremely one dimensional stereotypical mother and father figures in movies? I can't remember the last pixar/disney movie that has been so outright sexist from the outset.

But then I guess these days, it's totally fine as long as you're being sexist against men, and painting them to be idiotic uncaring imbeciles who never listen and can't do anything useful.

Hold'Em Poker Manager – Android App
Hold'Em Poker Manager is a tool to help Poker players to keep track of their games. Running games and past games are supported.

The UI is extremely user friendly, with material design, which makes it easy and extremely fast to record all game details, avoiding to use it extensively on the poker tables. Just start the session with the starting info and put the phone away. When the game is over, just stop it and input the results and it is done.

The app generates charts and reports based on the user inputs, that allows her to see the evolution of her game!

The free version is just a demo, that limits the app to create 10 sessions.

Interesting that there is no HTML just a direct link to an image.
One of the reasons I initially switched to Gmail (back in 'invite only' days) was because it seemed to have better spam filtering than anything else I'd tried (admittedly not much at that time).

I do occasionally check my spam folder and there's always a few false positives - but usually nothing critical (although admittedly I might have missed some that were and never known it)

So - day to day - I currently regard Gmail as 'good enough' but some of that is down to blind trust with little verification.

Can anyone else share their experiences - positive as well as negative?
To add to this - IMO, The Bill of Rights is a list of "inalienable" rights. While I suppose The Constitution could be eventually amended to remove a right - it would not be the correct thing.

That is to say - it should be impossible to remove a right that is not granted, but is simply innate.

Who would ever agree to removing the 1st, 4th, 5th, or 6th. No one. So why would they agree to removing the 2nd?

I don't understand what people don't get about the fact that one has an absolute, irremovable, and inalienable right to self-defense.
Ever been in the middle of a hard workout and noticed that you smell like ammonia? That smell means you are burning protein, probably from your muscles. I have only ever seen this during extended exercise, but the same thing during a fast would be a clear indicator you are burning muscle.
Could you offer some more information on this?
What was the reason why your emails were marked as spam?

From what I've seen while debugging such issues the problems were always from misconfigured outgoing servers and their dns, so I would be very interested in knowing why this has happened.

All of this sounds like "The decline of Wikipedia". Number of edits and active users keeps falling. Many people tried to find the reason, but maybe it is just natural? It is no longer peak popularity for either page. Also there is always some churn on science/tech related "forums" - same questions/problems are posted over and over - not many people can stand it over long periods of time.

The question is, when the banks "lost 75% of their loans". To my knowledge, this happened much later, when the banks that initially where in danger already got rid of the most toxic loans. Those loans either went to the EU "Rescue Umbrella" or where sold (with discounts).

When those sold loans later where haircut, than the lost value of 75% was on papers, but the value that those holders really lost very likely much smaller (if any), because they bought the loans with huge discounts.

I've had a few hams classified as spam - mostly mailgroup messages and github notifications, generally weird e-mails originating from addresses that send lots of mail. Generally, nothing critical, or even important for that matter. I vaguely recall finding one or two somewhat important e-mails in spam years ago, but it happened so rarely that I don't even remember the details. I still have the habit of checking my spam folder every other month, but generally I'm very satisfied with GMail's filtering.
I'm truly very sorry if I upset you. I'm just trying to make sure we're on the same page. Goldman is indeed guilty, but not in a way that we agree.

Goldman had CDS against AIG imploding, had CDS-of-CDS against AIG's counterparties imploding, etc., etc. The solution to this hedging problem turns out to be the eigenvector of a CDS/exposure matrix, which is kind of fun.

Anyway... Goldman's bet was that the whole world would not implode. If there had been no bailout of anyone--you're right--everyone would've failed, including Goldman. In this scenario, there's no doubt in my mind unemployment would be higher today. But, given that someone was saved--anyone at all--Goldman turned out just fine. The cost of this hedge was ~$2.5 billion. For this, they were able to recover $10 billion. So, 75 cents on the dollar. More than they deserve!

The real crime has nothing to do with "needing to be bailed out"--this is just the story given to the public--it's the fact that Goldman may have had material nonpublic information about AIG. I think this article sums it up pretty well:

I thought Tangled was Disney's finest moment. Two strong leads and lots of humour, plus Maximus the horse. I cringe at some films, I have a son and a daughter and I hate it when males are stupid and females are just holding out for a hero. But these type of films deal with stereotypical character types that are quickly recognised. The geeky kid has glasses, the princess is pretty, the muscular hero often doesn't pick up an non-verbal cues. What really freaks me out is the way the characters' eyes (especially princesses) are getting bigger every year!
That's a very good idea. I'm up for that, remotely.
I know right? But if you say groovy and the like are just respin of age old stuff they treat you like an old fart

And to think that when I advocated for writing business logic in a scripted language in 2003 everyone was looking at me like I was crazy (well italy is always quite behind last trends, so while in the states they were starting with scripting languages we were still writing ejb with xml - and we still do in many places)
> In many cases it is more performant
Imho, choosing to use a library like lodash in the beginning of your project for performance reasons is a premature optimisation. In 90% of the projects, the speed of Array.prototype.map compared to _.map will never be part of the performance bottleneck.

> it is often simpler to use and remember
Maybe people are used to one library's api, and expect the native counterpart to be more difficult, but the examples given in the article are counter examples to this statement.
Thanks for the reply. Are you still involved in any capacity or have you decided to move on from the project entirely?
I don't think this is a new thing. As I said, Disney are in the business of Princesses.

Cinderella - The prince was an idiot, he couldn't even recognise a woman he danced with all night.

Beauty and the Beast - All the male characters were majorly flawed and weak in some way, whilst Bella was strong, kind, brave, compassionate.

This trend isn't new... nor alarming.

Is your suggestion to NOT show children things you disagree with? What is the desired outcome? Do you think they are some how "damaged" by points of view you don't like?
I am not aware, that it was the "biggest ever in history" -- I even doubt that since, the Greek economy is not so big. I would like to compare that with the haircut Germany got after the war ... but in inflation-adjusted numbers (many haircuts can be the biggest, when you don't care about inflation).
I thought that would make sense, too. But I found them to be working OK in Chrome on Android, so I thought I could give it a try.

I should have said that I wouldn't create any hybrid mobile apps anymore, not just Cordova. That's not because I don't like it - it's simply because the other options work just as good for me. At least for now - can't say anything about the future.
Build Mobile Apps with Dockrized NativeScript
I'm looking to use something like Cordova to develop a fairly simple app for both Android and ios,

so far it looks like React is for Mac only, looking at https://facebook.github.io/react-native/docs/getting-started... ?

React native uses UI widgets from plateform SDKs, so Facebook point still stands. Their hybrid app sucked and they lost real money as the result of this.

Indeed. This pair of posts was more about recognising systemic patterns that are commonly seen inside and outside of software development.

Enterprise Makeover Part 1/6: creating lean enterprise
Well, but if a company refuses to repay its debt, this is called a bankruptcy isn't it? In U.S. it is either chapter 7 or 11 and means anything from takeover/sell of its assets or outright liquidation. At least in any more or less democratic countries, a company cannot just fail to pay its debt with no consequences.

In case of a bankruptcy, only stakeholders of the company suffer: management team simply gets fired, employees either get another job or work for the new owner if assets are sold. Same here: i am not suggesting making private citizens responsible for the national debt directly, just the government, which should either cede some part of its territory, or gets dissolved outright.
Reading that I got a vibe of a "cry/message from the inside".
Its more than an hour and still down!
I had ED-NOS (eating disorder not otherwise specificed) which mostly means it was a combination of anorexia nervosa and bulimia nervosa (which just means binge-purge cycle - fasting counts as purging).

I dropped from 140 lbs to 110 lbs in a month. I'm 5'4 female, and a 'skinny' weight for me is about 130 lbs as I am fairly muscular.

I used to want to look like a skeleton, I had no medical supervision and this was probably one of my worst eating disorder periods, the other being at college where I ate a microwaved apple or orange and 2 cups of broccoli / carrots only every day, for most of my freshman/sophmore year.

When I was ill, I knew I what I was doing with a disorder in mind, but I didn't admit it to anyone outside of me. I think most people who have an eating disorder know they have it inside, it's just something kept carefully secret.

I've been in recovery for about 2 years now, with healthy thoughts and no food restriction, excess exercising, starvation or purging. When I was sick I really didn't care if I died, as I have major depressive disorder comorbid, which I continue to have more difficulty beating than I did the eating disorder. I've fainted from fasting and I've been hospitalized from starvation. It's hell, pretty much.

I think it's important to take a step back from whatever the goal of these diets are, and look at the bigger picture. My weight only varied between 30 lbs over 15 or so years, and it controlled me entirely. It made me have to put a lot of my life on hold, when I had to focus what little energy I had towards getting better. I would really recommend anyone take a more careful, therapeutic look at their life if the above sounds tempting, and they find themselves going into cycles of fasting and 'losing' control over how they manage their diet.
> you should have been able to work around

The problem right here, to have to "work around" for 10 month.
I use Gmail for some private mail, and use it at work. I always check my spam folder and keep it empty. It works for 99%, but some mails from advertising networks (which I subscribe to professionally) get marked as spam even though I have marked them "not spam" many times. For personal mail I haven't had much problems.

You are getting a lot of down votes, but the truth is that this behavior is very common in some cultures, and not all of HN may have seen it before.

When I get impatient I just swirl the mouse in a small counter-clockwise circle, but I have seen others do the rapid right click, refresh sequence. It was mostly Asian computer users[0], and some of them had practiced it enough that they would do this 3-4 times per second while waiting for the computer to react.

Of course it takes two to tango; but if I give you $50 knowing full well that you're never going to repay it, who "deserves" to be punished? Even more so when I know that my $50 will actually be used to buy (weapons|etc) from my friend.

In this unjust world, as it happens, "I" was bailed out by the taxpayer community that stepped in and made me whole; however, it's clear that you still can't repay them like you couldn't repay me. What are they supposed to do? One option is enslaving your family for a long time (austerity); another is to just let go and forget about the money, you just won't do business with them anymore (which is what is happening, with the previous Greek elite being slowly kicked out); another still is knocking on my friend's door. Note how this last option is always absent from public discourse. In any case, now I'm free to pontificate on how bad you are and how I shouldn't have given you money in the first place because you're a lazy scumbag, although of course I knew this from day 1. Is that fair?
I have the same thing, a few issues of the Go Newsletter GitHub notifications have been marked as spam, nothing extremely important. There are usually ~5 "real" spam messages in there - to me a scientist, it's amazing that the system also recognizes scientific spam. I just have " In order to speed up the development of its journals, Science Publishing Group currently gives authors the Special Offers for paper publication: " in my spam folder, which has nothing to do with the actual Science journal and is just a predatory scam journal.

Could be that other GMail users don't know how to unsubscribe from GitHub/other notifications and mark these as spam to get rid of them which introduces false positives into the spam notification system.

I must admit, I'm still quite enamored with them, if only for development time and maintainability. I'd rather not develop 3 different apps for desktop (browser), Android and iOS. As I said elsewhere, I'm waiting to rely on App Cache instead of Cordova in the future.
It is too bad HN will not support an ongoing discussion among interested HN readers about an ongoing issue over arguably one of YC's most successful projects. I understand splattering the front page with > 1 link is too much.

However, one persistent headline among 20 would not bother most people (aside from the powers that be who may want to quell unrest, of course). I missed earlier discussions and only came in during this one. I think the debate over how to create a successful social network, and how and where to limit free speech online while managing a large community, ought to be of interest to anyone with skin in the game. And that thread had plenty of upvotes and comments to survive beyond two hours.
Been using Gmail since the beta and never had a problem with the spam filter either. The only false positives I've ever had were some confirmation emails from Amazon.
Actually, plenty of people are saying that, including the Syriza government who unwisely kept bringing up World War II reparations over the last few months.
Wait, are you saying that if Greece had a national socialist party, then it would be rational to extend debt relief?
Ask HN: Advice on searching for a mid-career job
I've been in technology for 15 years, mostly in HW, but with quite a bit of SW as well. I transitioned to product and project management 4 years ago, but the current company is not working out for me, and I had been searching for another job for almost a year.

Resumes sent to the big companies, even when it's through referrals, go into a black hole. I did get 2 job offers from startups, but they were only able to offer me half my current compensation package. With a family to support, I could not really take those offers.

I try to work on side projects, but with long hours at my current job, I basically have to give up spending time with my family in order to put in enough effort. I've been trying to fit it in by working late into the night, but I don't want to miss out on my child growing up.

So my choices are:
1. Keep working at my current job, where I feel no sense of accomplishment and no drive, have to warm the seat over 11 hours a day, but it's easy to work enough to keep my job.
2. Accept a dramatic salary cut at a startup, and subject my family to a drastic decrease in standard of living, for my peace of mind.
3. Quit completely, and work on projects until I find a sustainable project or run out of runway.
4. ???

My questions are:
1. For those of you in mid-career, how would you go about switching jobs?
2. I am currently stationed in a foreign country (Korea), does that affect my chances of getting a job in the US?
3. Am I overpriced? Based on Glassdoor, my salary expectations does not seem out of line.

Thanks for any insight you can give me. I'm feeling very trapped right now and getting a bit stir-crazy.

But doesn't this miss the fact that "humanity" is emotionally driven and making decisions based on pure logic is un-human?

We also have a brain with multiple subsystems that can override each other, and we see this behaviour as "normal" (i.e we don't get confused and puzzled by a fat person eating, thinking to ourselves "I don't get it, they clearly don't need the food... ?" - Where as if someone stopped eating mid meal and said "I've reached sufficient caloric intake" we would be confused and puzzled).
But it was on the top of Reddit so of course it needs to be reposted to HN.
