I hear that, and I heard it from your first post as well - just wanted to share my perspective.

There are invisible diversity challenges, and economics is one. Yes, if I don't stutter, and I clean up, and pretend not to be a loudmouth political radical, I can waltz into the Ol' boys club, but my welcome wears out real damn fast. ;)

I think what I was really getting at was that, as in _all_ hiring and recruiting situations, and basically even all consulting situations, you have to keep "what your client wants" and "what your client needs" separate, because you're not selling the first one unless it matches the second, if you're doing well. ;)

I also have a concern about people creating companies that have good ethnic and gender diversity numbers, but which are even _more_ against hiring people without college degrees. I'm not sure this is well founded, because people who are first or second generation college grads are likely to have some of the perspective I have, and understand that their piece of paper is a piece of paper, etc..

Sometimes, when I'm talking about this, it boils down to a chat I had with a manager at Rackspace, years ago. Everyone else on the team wanted to throw away all the resumes without college degrees, and I wanted to throw away all the resumes WITH college degrees. I was like, "We need more of me!". And my boss, a really nice guy I still respect today even though we mounted a horrible coup against him, basically said to me:

"Justin, they're not all you."

There's some truth to that, but I wonder if people tugging at racial and gender diversity get that as well. "You're one of us, you're not like the ones you think you're like. Be happy you're here, kid."

Anyway, I'm excited at what you guys are doing and hope it has an influence! If you succeed at this, you could actually position yourself to be a strong player for recruiting folks from economically diverse backgrounds as well, because our resumes just don't make sense to people, and someone sometimes needs to snap their fingers in front of a manager's face and be like: "HEY! You can't fill this position. This person has already done this work. What are you hung up on?"

A rich kid can get away with spending a year backpacking in Europe at 20, but a poor kid who takes a couple years off from 24-26 because they've been working since 14, well, obviously a bum.

Anyway, I appreciate you all engaging here on HN and I'm looking forward to seeing you succeed. Maybe I'll reach out when we have hiring needs. :)

2% false positives? That's terrible, because it's not scaled to the ratio of benign posts to recruiting posts. That is, at a 2% rate, false positives could, perhaps vastly, outnumber accurate hits.

One reason I mentioned other kinds of extremists is their method of using judges to manually rate posts. It could well be that Americans, in particular, have a media-formed consensus on what an islamist extremist is. Tree-sitters, antivivisectionists, anti-abortion, etc. "extremism" could be harder to judge, and that could jack up the error rate considerably.
Yes, sharing IP addresses is needed for P2P communication to work so enabling this blocking option would also block legitimate uses of WebRTC such as video chat (e.g. https://talky.io , https://appear.in , etc.) and low-latency data sharing.

They sure as hell do, they just aren't giving any back to their investors, yet, because money is pouring into their laps and they're happy to spend it.

There's a difference between not being profitable and not making money, and when you're displacing an entire existing industry, you can afford to lose money while you're doing it.

That's one of the hidden stories with Uber, of course, that taxi drivers give up their taxis and move to uber and that door kind of closes behind them, and the taxi companies lose share and it'll all shake out in the end is their hope.

I think they're insane, but it's silly to pretend that VCs care about anything but the valuation, IMO.

If money and power is allowed to buy a company greater ability to ignore the law than an individual human citizen... We all may as well call it a day, write the entire system off and start thinking about how the next one should work. Unless I see a counter example of say Google or Apple ignoring a stupid encryption must have back doors type law then we have zero examples of corporations ignoring the law for good... Vs hundreds of examples of them ignoring the law for evil, and a handful of examples where the good vs evil question is uncertain but should still be considered bad because they are breaking the law.
Um... Dark market
For a person in the US, there is a good chance that the information was gleaned from public records such as vital statistics. If that is the case then it is available to someone else to publish even if one site takes it down. In addition, sites are under no obligation to take down information contained in public records.

Good luck.

Well, you don't need to apologize for your tone, certainly. I didn't mean to be extremely annoying, but I stand by the assertion that the source of written material comes from writers. You think the "middlemen" of reporters can be cut of the deal, and sure, they can, if everyone is not only willing to do the same job that reporters do but can manage to be reasonably good at it. At risk of being extremely annoying yet again, I think you are vastly underestimating the amount of work involved.

It's also a case where making that investment is worth it given the core nature of the MSVC standard library which makes it integral to a universe of other software. The global impact of a 5x improvement in something in every app makes it a no-brainer. But there's a lot of debt out there that will be replaced before the payoff ever comes.

Interesting Fermi problem for sadistic interviewers: what would be the global energy saving per invocation of this vim function if a 5x performance improvement were to be found?
Feels like 1960s writing
One of the big impediments against more companies engaging in compassionate use is required adverse event reporting to the FDA. To my knowledge (clinicians / clinical research specialists please correct me here if I'm wrong) companies are required to report any adverse events experienced by patients granted early access to a drug under compassionate use. Any adverse event reported may make it harder for them to bring a drug to market. In addition, it is very difficult for companies to screen these patients or guarantee that they are adhering to regimens as they would in a clinical trial. This biases companies against providing the drugs, even though many would want to. In my opinion, the FDA should drop this requirement and allow for universal access to medications for terminal patients under compassionate use.

I chose that statistic to be a bit tongue-in-cheek, cf

> While 'ecstasy' is the popular name for MDMA, the functional definition of ecstasy is any pill represented as MDMA on the street. Ecstasy pills are notoriously unreliable in content, more so than most other street drugs, and commonly contain either caffeine, ephedrine, amphetamines, MDA, MDE, DXM, or--in rare cases--DOB, and don't necessarily contain MDMA or any psychoactive.

> The problem is that in order to do true risk pooling, you need to be able to charge based on risk. The ACA (Obamacare) has eliminated much of that making the cost the same for everyone at a given level.

Why is that a problem? I'm not sure why a less diverse risk pool is inherently better than a more diverse one. Certainly I want very ill people to receive medical care, and it seems as broad as possible a risk pool facillitates that.

> it turns out that many healthy people have continued to opt out and many of the new enrollees are people who couldn't get coverage elsewhere.

Don't opt-outs have to pay the fine, which funds medical care regardless (or do those funds go elsewhere)? The fines might be less than insurance payments, but I'd assume they are all profit. The opt-outs consume generate zero claims and costs from insurers.

The paragraph you quote doesn't say healthy people are opting out; it says the insurance company is claiming higher costs than they expected and wants a rate increase. Their expectations could have been wrong, or they simply might want to raise rates and are making a case for it (or their claim could be legitimate, of course); I'd guess reality is some mix of the three.
It's all in framing.

And that's why Mad is a "magazine" and not a "comic" book because comics were self-regulated by the Comics Code Authority that would review them for objectionable content, themes, and situations. By slightly repositioning themselves, they could avoid that scrutiny.

And if you think about it, the CCA is brilliant from the government's perspective. The government didn't have to step in because they convinced an industry to muzzle and police themselves. It's self-censorship without all the nasty legal complications.
That's bad. I expect to see there only an IP address obtained by using WebRTC, not a detection by using all methods that are possible.
Lots of people know and contribute to vim. If they try to make life easier for you, they will probably make life worse for all those who are already familiar with vim code. It is similar to the situation of the Linux kernel, where some people would prefer to use C++, while everyone who already works on Linux also knows and prefers straight C. Given the vitality of vim, I think you should just learn it and stop trying to change what already works.
"Is it possible our site is blocked by the Great Firewall of China? How can we check?"

It is possible. Post your site URL as a comment here, or use one of these sites:

"Does Baidu not care much for indexing US or English speaking sites?"

When I search for stuff on the web, I search in English and expect results in English. Search engines don't usually return links to German pages, as I don't understand German. I would guess that someone entering search terms in Chinese would expect (and receive) results in Chinese.

I just searched Baidu for 'ruby' and got a mixture of English and Chinese results. I then searched for 'ruby 怎么用' (how to use ruby) and got all Chinese results.

"Maybe web dev isn't as popular in China as other places in the world?"

That seems unlikely. China has more internet users than any other country. Also, those people are predominantly using Chinese-languages sites, developed in China.

"Language barrier and lack of site language options?"

Yup.
Guess what, laws aren't universal! Unless gwern has a complete understanding of your jurisdiction and can somehow guess how you plan to use the data, he cannot know what is legal and wasn't isn't. The burden lies on you.

Not really. There are some loudness measuring standards and conventions about the 'right' level for dialog vs peak volume, but really it's down to the combined tastes of the mixing engineers, the director, and the producer, with the latter having priority. Thus there are fads about particular sounds (eg notice how every big exposion in a sci-fi film now is announced with the same falling sub bass sound...) and pressure to push the volume envelope on action pictures (Michael Bay is notorious for this sensory overload approach to both picture and sound).
I seem to recall them implementing the unwind interface but with standard rbp/ebp unwinding. As in http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/Libc/Libc-498.1.1/gen... and http://www.opensource.apple.com/source/Libc/Libc-825.25/gen/...

My biggest problem with "standard" libunwind is how slow it is compared to a whole loop against the registers (which of course isn't reliable with -fomit-frame-pointer). IIRC, the gcc's call to backtrace actually parses DWARF to work around this (and thus is super slow).

Although this probably isn't applicable to many software startups, one downside of places like WeWork for my company is how they focus on selling space by the desk. In my business (videogames, including console) most developers have a desktop PC, two monitors, a TV, possibly a Wacom tablet, and multiple console dev kits on their desk. The "12 desk" office we were looking at with WeWork would comfortably fit 4-5 of us with our space needs. That made it a non-starter.
Wow! I was instantly sure that this came down to someone at some DAW making a few million little tweaks on individual drum hits... Thanks for the correction and the detail!
The darknet market failures have nothing to do with bitcoin. If anything, faith in TOR has been compromised, but it's still a very effective tool. DNMs are maturing and adapting, and still strong.

And they all still use bitcoin.
From what I understand about that (probably wrong):

1. That's about correct. They don't interact at all with electromagnetism so they'll give off no photons or radiation to be detected from that at least. They're not normal baryons so they shouldn't decompose into alpha or beta radiation either. I don't think they have an reactions that would cause anihilation of particles like antimatter and matter. Dark matter isn't antimatter, not sure that you've made that mistake but I've talked to other people who have and once they realized that it made much more sense.

2. Who would you say it isn't? From what we do know it's affected by gravity and doesn't interact with normal matter or photons. It could be passing through you without you noticing at all. That's one of the reasons that for a long time neutrinos were a big candidate for dark matter because they really don't react with anything at all most of the time (except time apparently).

3. As am I, assuming they decay anyway.
That's true, so you have to manage those false positives with other data points.

A. How often do we see this user using multiple machines on the same day?
B. Is access being made from two different machines at the same time (very high indicator of license sharing)

At the end of the day no matter how much data you add to the equation, you are still dealing in probabilities. So as a business you must be careful about when and who you accuse of license violations.

If anything, the DNMs use Bitcoin more in 2015 than in 2014 or 2013. In 2013-2014, there was a fair amount of interest in Litecoin, Dogecoin, and Darkcoin, with some markets using them exclusively. (Off the top of my head, Atlantis and Litebay for the former, and Doge Road for the middle.) Right now, every market I know of takes Bitcoin, with maybe a handful taking Litecoin/Feathercoin/Darkcoin on the side as a supported-but-hardly-used feature. I kept track of currency support in http://www.gwern.net/Black-market%20survival
I read "encrypted forums".

The thing is that once you get your diet and exercise routine right 'for you' then the issue of how to keep it up goes away. It's so self-reinforcing that you would be hard pressed NOT to eat and exercise well.

The hard part is getting it right for you. I like to run and I've run my whole life so exercise was never an issue, guess I lucked out there. I've tried going to a gym many times and it just is not for me, for example.

Whereas it took until my 50s to figure out that a low-carb diet was right for me. Before I had a terrible sweet tooth, but now you couldn't pay me to eat sugar.

So my advice is to try lots of things without getting hung up on the dogma associated with each, until you find the things that click.

That's what scares me about the parents the article describes. They are exactly the sort of people who would gladly help dismantle RCTs and try to return drug and medical treatment development to a pre-scientific process. The usage of RCTs is already fragile and threatened - I remember during the Ebola outbreak, there was a ton of pressure to use limited supplies of Zmapp on patients as fast as possible and the suggestions to make the most of the opportunity by allocating scarce doses via lottery were, as far as I know, ignored. That in a situation where it was vital to know as soon as possible whether we had a useful Ebola treatment or not in case it went pandemic!

One of the early things I did when I obtained a computer modem was dial into a NASA BBS and download images of planets taken by Voyager. I believe it was at 300bps, although we may have had our 2400bps modem by then.

Fortunately I didn't spend 16 months at it, since we were paying long distance charges and just a couple of pictures of Neptune downloaded over the course of an hour or so cost a relatively ridiculous amount of money.

Still, it makes me feel a kinship with these folks, even if just barely.
Unicorn: A System for Searching the Social Graph
The same thing you said, though in a more abstract way. By temporal I mean where they go on the timeline, and by semantic I mean the content of the sound. Much of the time what you hear simply matches what you see on the screen, either from production sound or from a sound effects library or by a foley artist, eg if you see a glass bottle smash on the floor you will probably just use a natural sound for that. But then you have to look at what it means in the context of the story - suppose the bottle is being smashed on the floor by an alcoholic who has finally decided to fight his addiction? You migh choose to emphasize that with music, or you might emphasize it by layering in other sounds from elsewhere in the soundtrack or some purely expressionistic sound like a heavy lock opening. Also, you'll frequently use sound to speed up or slow down the action by transitioning into the next scene before or after the camera cut.

Mixing involves setting the levels of the different sounds, but it also includes some decisions about how the sound moves, what sort of reverb and coloration are used (spatial) and how it's balanced against the music, how it's EQed (tonal).

Hope that helps.

I wonder how many examples there are of a more beloved UI (among coders) than Vim's keyboard input. For myself, its exceptional keyboard responsiveness is a essential part of what makes Vim feel so effortless, so hardwired to my brain.

I wish all code was equally buggy.
