Right, but the video never shows the car stalled on the highway. It's moving in every highway shot. It's in the righthand lane, not in the center. The driver is somewhat panicked. We can see how fast he's moving relative to the background.

Logically, there is a great deal that could still be done to mitigate global warming. It is more a question of if enough people are knowledgeable of the issues and are actually willing to change their behaviour and apply pressure on the rest of society to force change.

I think there is a huge difference between a +3.0C world in 2100, with stable cumulative emissions, and a +4.5C world in 2100, where the cumulative emissions are still rising. The former is probably very unpleasant (i.e. many people dead, particularly those unfortunate enough to be born poor or in the wrong country), the latter denotes some kind of worsening failure state for human civilisation.

It is unfortunate that climate change is a long-term, uncertain consequence, a collective side-effect of economic activity, overpopulation, etc. If enough of the painful consequences of our actions could be experienced in the short term, across society, we'd probably have a very different attitude and a sharp motivation to change.

> One blueprint for trouble, making collapse likely, is where there is a conflict of interest between the short-term interest of the decision-making elites and the long-term interest of the society as a whole, especially if the elites are able to insulate themselves from the consequences of their actions. Where what's good in the short run for the elite is bad for the society as a whole, there's a real risk of the elite doing things that would bring the society down in the long run. -- Jared Diamond

1. I thought it was a decent entry-level salary. I don't have significant equity, but it's more than I thought.

2. If I continue to intern here (which is certainly an option - I have 2 more co-op terms left) I would be getting about $20k salary less, plus no equity

Being able to move "off" of Sails, interestingly, is a design principle of Sails itself. Sails is built on common node.js modules (express, socket.io, etc) and uses standard express middleware/APIs so that pieces of a Sails app can be ineroperable with other frameworks and tools. Waterline (the ORM layer) is designed to work with any database so that you aren't locked to a single vendor. It'd be hypocritical if we wanted to liberate you from other tools, but try to lock you into using Sails, wouldn't it? We feel that that's a feature, not a bug.

There are much larger companies (Fortune 100) that use Sails.js. This isn't a knock against Shyp at all, and I'm glad they're using Sails, I'd just like to clear up whatever the source of your misconception is. Sails, Waterline, and the many related modules are all in active development.

(Disclaimer: I work for Balderdash, the company that created Sails)
Hello from Saigon,

It's sad to see you go. But it's very true that the air is critically polluted, esp. in the central area. I moved from DaNang city (You would try!) to Saigon to seek for a job; except for the money and the high tech air, Saigon isn't worth living.

The most critical thing is that people seem not to believe in others any anymore, and/or to believe in the future. (The author said people only thought of today, that's a reason.) Living fast, living short. And killing the future. :(

authority is becoming confused. The notion of Intellectual Property is becoming obviously self-contradictory. Who owns the copyright to your soul? Is it Facebook? Is it Google? Did you accidentally assign all of your Intellectual Property to WR Hambrecht? Can you be required to perform on command like a dancing bear? Are the excrescences of your soul merely the feedstock of an industrial process that requires human fleshbrains for supervised learning processes the output of which will be the property of the state since they are formed without human agency?

Every Engineer's Solemn Duty

http://www.warplife.com/ethics/duty.html

In 2006 I filed a "Radar" at http://bugreport.apple.com/ to - POLITELY! - suggest that Apple avoid needless deaths and billion dollar lawsuits by recalling, redesigning and replacing its MagSafe Power Adapter, as mine burned through its insulation, very nearly catching my house on fire.

Apple's response was to link its stated policy on unsolicited product suggestions then close the bug.

As a result of a class action lawsuit, Apple actually DID recall, redesign and replace the adapter. It's latest MacBook charges via USB rather than MagSafe. Apple made that design change without any public comment that I am aware of.

I was offered a free replacement if I turned in my torched MagSafe but I paid eighty bucks so I could keep it. I figured it would look cool with an evidence tag attached to it.

Also in 2006 I resigned in protest what at first seemed like quite a good job as an industrial control systems engineer because Glenn Wadden, founder and one-third owner of Trihedral Engineering of Bedford, Nova Scotia thought it quite funny that his product enabled anyone with the most basic understanding of computers to detonate a large industrial facility like a bunker buster bomb, all from the comfort of their own home.

I stayed silent for seven years in hopes Trihedral would fix its steaming pile of code, then went public in hopes that public pressure would ensure a fix.

The Stuxnet and Flame worms that attacked Iran's industry - notably its Uranium Hexafluoride Gas Turbine Centrifuge Cascades - attacked vulnerabilities in a Siemen's industrial control system product.

It's not like Iranians don't know how to write computer programs.

Cortana is, but the Edge process is not that I can find. but that's only part of the story. If the libraries utilized by Edge are already loaded by other processes, they benefit from being in memory already.

Still, I notice Edge launches faster than Chrome even when I have a separate "Chrome App" open (e.g.: Hangouts). But you have to remember that Chrome essentially re-implements the ChromeOS on top of Windows. Much like how iTunes performance degraded as Apple ported more and more of OS X to Windows just to get it to run, I think Chrome suffers from the same bloat on Windows.

I wanted to check though. How much of Chrome is already loaded when Windows starts? How much of Edge?

I used VMMap from Sysinternals. "DLLs" includes every library plus the executable. Non-system DLLs excludes anything I found loaded by another process on the system, which included all the standard Windows libraries. Unique DLLs excludes anything loaded by any other process, so at a minimum it's the process itself (see: Chrome.exe).

Chrome.exe run as a child and a parent share a handful of code.

EdgeCP.exe is the child to Edge.exe, and it shares about the same amount of stuff. The EdgeCP process is lean for Windows, the executable is only 300K.

Here's what I found.

Process	DLLs (#)	DLL Size (MiB)	Non-System DLLs (#)	Non-System DLL Size (MiB)	Unique DLLs (#)	Unique DLL Size (MiB)
Chrome.exe	179	159	3	31.3	1	30.4
Chrome.exe (child)	54	90.6	4	41.3	2	40.3
MicrosoftEdge.exe	131	170	5	15.2	3	9.8
MicrosoftEdgeCP.exe (child)	98	154	3	1.9	1	0.3

The upshot: both Chrome and Edge use a huge list of system libraries. Chrome's application code is larger, but it's probably not just the fact that Edge has an advantage with much more of its code already loaded into memory.

The simple answer is probably that Edge starts faster because it doesn't have to run on top of a ported layer of ChromeOS, which adds many layers of abstraction. The Edge process seems to be a very lightweight shim over a rendering engine that works pretty well. I don't know how they'll make that work with extensions or sandboxing, but the size of the executable code and the way it looks reminds me of Servo. (Minimal UI code, stays out of the way of renderer and JS processes.)

Finally, I checked to see if Cortana loads many of the same DLLs as Edge. Yes it does. I don't think that's an optimization though, I think that's because Cortana might be using a WebView to display results. (That would help in porting it to iOS and Android, of course.) I haven't disassembled it or inspected its XAML, but I think I'm done messing with Windows 10 for the day.
It's unclear how much influence Old Italic alphabets had on the various Runics though it's generally thought that Etruscan was a shared ancestor. There's some theories that some of the similarities are the result of co-evolution or repurposing of found letter a la Tsalagi.

For example, Danish Futhark uses the character for 'm' that's used as 'ph' in Etruscan (later to become greek 'phi'), obviously not a morphological change but a repurposing.

Another example, Etruscan 'sh' seems to have disappeared due to confusion with a simplified 'M', which is similar to 'e' in Elder Futhark and 'i' in Gothenburg Runes.

These may have simply been "loan" glyphs, adopted to fill some phonological need, in the way that English doesn't have letters for 'sh', 'ch' or 'zh'.

Most of the morphology seems wholly unique in early Runic scripts, hinting at their uniqueness. But again, as Sequoyah demonstrated, loan characters often are used in more "obvious" ways like as a syllabary.

There's later forms of Runes that borrow more heavily from Latin scripts, and these also seem to be more regularized and simplified over the less standard earlier scripts.

Sure, but although it certainly suits their rulers, that's not exactly a good reason for them to go die or kill people.

That's how wars are maintained, by the way. Ordinary people are told they need to go kill some "enemies", or they will be killed by the um.. not-enemies..
No, that's a dumb joke. Actually I don't really even use Docker personally.

HN's standard middlebrow dismissal of Docker is to claim that it's nothing except LXC, which really misses the point entirely. But at least it lets people pretend they are smarter, which is what really counts.

I'm surprised this article didn't mention sites like Glassdoor, which uses yelp-like reviews and metrics on salary as the lead for it's job search site.

I'm scheduling a call with my academic advisor sometime this week. I'm in good standing at school, and I take part in a bunch of extracurriculars, so even if I have to re-apply I don't think it would be difficult to get accepted again.

Agreed about the visa though - I have a call scheduled with an immigration lawyer tomorrow, so I'll determine how difficult it is (if it's even possible) to get an H1 or GC.

Thank you for your other points - seriously, much appreciated.
I dunno, let's try the more complete version:

"There's $100 in this box. You can't open it, or look inside it, but trust me, it's there. Now you need to go over to my mate George, and give him the box, and he'll give you $100 for it. But only if you haven't opened it!"

Now it just sounds like you're being recruited as a drug mule. :)

Okay, granted, in your scenario their are multiple box dealers who are willing to bid on your unopened-but-totally-contains-$100 box. If you work at it, it's quite possible that you might even get some semblance of a fair offer. But should you need to work at it? And this still feels like a system which lends itself to collusion, uncertainty, and unfairness. Nor is that even hypothetical; we KNOW that our industry suffered from a serious wage-fixing cartel which was only recently busted open.

I feel like any argument against transparency has a high bar to clear.

From the press release:

MURGIO and his co-conspirators have also knowingly exchanged cash for Bitcoins for victims of “ransomware” attacks, that is, cyberattacks in which criminals (here, distributors of the ransomware known as “Cryptowall”) electronically block access to a victim’s computer system until a sum of “ransom” money, typically in Bitcoins, is paid to them. In doing so, MURGIO, and his co-conspirators knowingly enabled the criminals responsible for those attacks to receive the proceeds of their crimes, yet, in violation of federal anti-money laundering laws, MURGIO never filed any suspicious activity reports regarding any of the transactions.
No worries. You gave me an excellent excuse to exercise my pedantry in a way that I usually try to avoid so as not to be a social pariah :-)
Some clarifications. Explicitly computing matrix inversion is never a good idea, unless you require an inverted matrix. For solving the normal equation, indeed for solving any linear equation, use appropriate specific algorithms (variants of Gaussian elimination, QR, SVD, ...). For regression, computing the inverse of covariance matrix is actually faster than QR methods ( plural because there are more than one) at the cost of numerical instability. SVD is the more stable but also more expensive method. These are the standard methods you will find in any linear algebra or statistics textbooks. For regular use they are just fine. It is when you have thousands of variables and tens of thousands of measurements when they fall short. Iterative optimization algorithms can be used, or random matrix algorithms. There is no free lunch, because numerical instability is inherent in these algorithms, but you do have some, more relaxed, guarantee of errors or probability of errors.

The reason I said iterative optimization algorithms can be used for regression because linear regression is a quadratic optimization problem. We have analytic solutions because of special linear algebra properties. It can be said that we have a good handle on quadratic optimization problems, hence the multitude of algorithm choices. General optimization algorithms necessarily carry cost in numerical instability, but it may be a cost worth paying, especially for large data sets.

Finally, I want to echo your sentiment that DO NOT invert. Solve linear equations should be by tailored algorithms. In theory they yield identical results, in practice specific algorithms are much better.
> Oh, and movies where it's played for laughs. Blazing Saddles, Django Unchained.

You almost never see this happen in mainstream culture (in fact, the Chappelle show is one of the only notable examples of this and this is precisely one of the main reasons it was considered so edgy and controversial). The two examples you described are 1) from 40 years ago, when culture was a lot more comfortable with usage of the word, and 2) a period piece about American slavery. Usage in the latter movie has nothing to do with the fact that it's "played for laughs", since you could see the same thing in 12 Years A Slave (which came out less than a year later and was very much not a comedy).
Well the argument of the post is that a well thought out technical career should necessarily land a person at a Startup early in their career. Given this position that the post is taking, adding "startup specific advice" to the title would conflict with the premise of the article.

Now, said premise may very well be entirely wrong (I think the optimal career for most people is to be a lifer at Google), but isn't that what the comments here are for?
The root cause for any war is psychopath rulers wanting more power and more wealth for themselves. The rest follows from that. Of course, the rulers will be spewing bullshit propaganda to get their peons to go die for them.

The commenter I originally responded to seemed to suggest that there would be a "good" reason for people to go die or kill people in a war.

But enriching his rulers is not exactly a good reason for an ordinary person to kill or die trying. What's in it for him? Wouldn't he much rather not do it?

Your assumption is that if the US reduced their emissions as quickly as possible, it would likely not affect the emissions policies of other countries, but a lot of countries are refusing to cut emissions faster _because the US isn't doing so yet_.

The process of a unilateral, bilateral, or trilateral dramatic reduction would likely work as such:

1. The United States, China, or Europe, or two or all three would internally implement programs to drastically reduce emissions.

2. In order to maintain economic competitiveness, border adjustments (tariffs and subsidies) would be applied to imports and exports to and from countries without similar carbon emission reduction programs. If these tariffs and subsidies are sufficiently carefully applied, they would be legal under international trade agreements.[1]

3. Countries without similar carbon emission reduction programs would suffer economically by losing access to large export markets due to the border adjustments.

4. The countries would have their economic incentives shifted so that it becomes much more economically viable for them to apply similarly dramatic reductions themselves and regain access to the large markets.

5. As more countries apply similarly dramatic reductions, the total volume of border adjustments would decrease, reducing market distortions and increasing international trade efficiency, while maintaining each country's programs for dramatically decreasing carbon emissions.

Not just any country could do this, but the US could certainly start this process by itself. If the US started unilaterally, Europe would likely adopt similar measures and regain access to unadjusted imports and exports, which would create a very large bloc of high-consumption countries into which all countries (such as China and Australia) would want to regain cheap access.
