Um… population growth is very strongly positively correlated with GDP growth. It’s well acknowledged that Japan and Europe’s economic problems are mainly driven by aging and shrinking populations.
But I also don’t see how this relates to my point. I’m not making judgements, I’m hypothesizing about the reason for a trend.

Kids plural is much hard than kid singular as well I think.
My daughter is already in a much better place than i was at her age. I was homeschooled until college (yes, my family are a bunch of hicks) and I didn’t have insurance until I was 22.
I was also raised in an incredibly restrictive religion which I have since abandoned for science and reality.
I’m not saying I don’t want a better education and better insurance for my daughter than she currently has, but she’s on a better path than I was on by a long shot (she gets As in science for starters… hell, she has a science class!).

Interesting, thanks for the link. I do wonder why they cost the same as other popular router companies for a lot more built in functionality. Either they are able to do a lot in software, they are using cheaper components, or they are pricing so their profits aren’t as high so they can get some market traction.

I guess I’ll take the downvotes and somewhat agree with them; probably not as far as to say a fireable matter for the first offense. Definitely a strong and unambiguous warning/disciplinary action (repeat offender, however? Fired)
Sorry, I get office pranks but there’s no reason to be doing anything on an end-user’s workstation without their permission or consent that isn’t maintenance or security related. I guess I lack a sense of humor, but I’ve also seen too many instances where a prank on someone’s machine resulted in severely unintended consequences and breaches of trust that rippled through the team.
Just not worth it, IMO.

I don’t think he’s being overly pedantic — these kinds of things are difficult to talk about because we bring different definitions to the table. I tried to use “rational” in the context of the original article, which perhaps I failed to do so. The interviewer notes the contemporary critique of Enlightenment rationality, which Saul seems to share. So when I critique this kind of rationality, I mean a type of faculty that is in a different category from emotions and faith, that is separated from Saul’s description of the other faculties of humanity.
I think Eli and I are caught in what Wittgenstein might call a “language game.” We seem to be using the same word but we’re really meaning two different things. It’d be like if I thought basketball was a game involving kicking a ball into a net (soccer) and Eli thought it was a game involving throwing a ball into a net (basketball). While in that case we do have one objective definition of basketball, we don’t necessarily have one universally accepted definition for “rationality.”
I’m kind of reaching my limit here in terms of knowledge of philosophy, but I think that Eli and I don’t actually disagree, I’ve just perhaps framed my descriptions using two contradictory definitions of rationality: that of the Enlightenment idea of rational (which I critique) vs St. Maximos the Confessor’s idea of rational (which I advocate). I think that Eli is arguing from a Kantian sense, in terms of actions being rational up to a subjective idea of an ultimate good. Luckily for us, I’ve found a paper that discusses these three topics and will hopefully clear up the miscommunication we’ve had: http://www.academia.edu/10973797/A_Byzantine_Critique_of_Enl…

Thanks. Note to self: If talking to external recruiter, 1) check if they are willing to keep my salary confidential and 2) get market salary info.
Also, looks like it is good to have a big salary to anchor the target salary higher. You are out of luck if you were working on your own startup for past 5 years with a low salary
In your experience, how common is that candidates lie about/inflate their salary to keep the anchor higher? Was any one caught doing this?

I think it’s often a good approach to take the time to understand the current situation, understand the future desired situation, and commit to a doable plan to get from the one to the other.
For example, if someone wants to quit cigarettes, they could figure out how many they smoke per day. Now, this week, could they smoke only N-1 per day? Next week, could they smoke only N-2 per day?
Maybe it seems excruciatingly slow, but is it really? Plan it out. Get a calendar and hang it somewhere prominent and write down what is supposed to be taking place each week.
Slow and steady can accomplish anything. No heroics necessary. Just be relentless.
Best wishes to your friend. I often thank my parents for quitting smoking when I was born; if they hadn’t, they’d be gone now, or in absolute ruins healthwise.

(For others, if you don’t know about the Erlang VM, and didn’t understand the first couple of paragraphs, dirty schedulers is a new feature that solves the problem of running user created, long running, C extension code inside the Erlang VM, without blocking the rest of the VM).

Kon-Tiki was interesting, but I can’t handle the implication of Heyerdahl’s beliefs – that the Polynesian people, supreme sailors and navigators who travelled huge distances across the open ocean while Europeans were still hugging the cost, were somehow incapable of sailing to South America and back.
For example, the staple food of the Maori of New Zealand was the kumara, a sweet potato, which are native to the Americas.
His main objection was based, I believe, on predominating currents and winds. However, in an El Nino year, the currents shift and winds shift, and there is evidence that Polynesian migrations eastward coincided with El Nino events.

I don’t know what a gerund is, and I’ve never needed to except in 8th grade grammar tests, which I failed. Yet I got a 79/80 on the writing section of the SAT because my grammar is pretty solid. I’ve been in a remedial English class, actually, with ESL kids. Like yourself and most other rational people, I am a big proponent of acquiring knowledge on diverse topics. I just think people should be able to pursue the topics they’re interested in instead of dealing with distracting busywork that old people decided was a good fundamental curriculum. Do you fail to see the problem with schools forcing kids to memorize things about Native Americans and Greek columns and long division (etc.) when 1) most do not care about such things and 2) even more will never need to know such things? It’s one problem to have an outdated curriculum and another to force a set curriculum, even a great one that works really well for the average student, on kids.

Most radio modules would have an embedded firmware that in addition to the radio handling, should enforce regulatory constraints (i.e preventing the use of 5GHz DFS channels if radar use is detected).
Building these firmware images is something you are (usually) only equipped to do under NDAs from the silicon manufacturer
My understanding (and what I have gathered from previous threads on the subject) is the FCC is going after the embedded radio firmwares, and mistakenly (or due to extreme lack of knowledge) named OpenWRT,DD-WRT as offenders.
Otherwise, the effect of this would be to outlaw PCIe and USB WiFi, Bluetooth etc. cards/adaptors unless sold inside a computer with a locked bootloader.

As I understand it, this was all known when 5Ghz wifi was introduced, so it was a trade-off (see the 2013 NTIA report for details). I don’t think it makes sense for them to move all existing services in the 5Ghz band to a completely new band (which might not work anyway, due to the technical requirements of doppler windshear radar). It probably also wouldn’t make sense to limit wifi to a small range of the 5Ghz band. However I’m not really an expert on this, so feel free to correct me.
Oh, and you can get freedom — it’s just the radio software that’s the issue. The obvious solution is to make the radio software un-flashable, and leave the router software flashable.

AM is a great place for women to find anything from a sugar daddy to just someone who will pay for dinner. I’m sure there were a number of actual prostitutes on the site as well, but I personally know of one woman on it who was looking for guys to just take her out on the town, and if they happened to buy her stuff, that was cool too (which a lot of them were more than happy to do). If you’re female, single, have a low-paying job, and don’t want to be in a relationship, it seems like an obvious choice for some — the guys are in a relationship, so it’s easy to keep it uncomplicated.
Please don’t take this as an “all women are gold diggers” sort of thing. But that may explain why there were a lot of single women.

So the author proposes to replace REST with “JSON-pure APIs”: Just stuff all of your data (errors, warnings, data, domain-specific stuff; he really does not propose any structure) into JSON, and then send and receive that via anything.
With this, we would lose the discoverability of a good REST API (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HATEOAS ), which would be a huge price to pay.
Other than that, this reminds me a bit of:
“Hey man, this relational stuff is really hard! There must be a better way…”
“I know a better way! Let’s rather just stick all of our data into these JSON objects…”

What I love is seeing the baby boom generation discovering with horror that their kids are sexually liberated. No facebook to remind them what they were doing in the 60s and 70s. Do as I say, not as I did when I was your age!

Re: Karelia, this isn’t quite as neat an example as the article makes you think: the vast majority of the native Finnish/Karelian population either migrated to Finland or died in Stalin’s gulags, and was replaced by immigrants from elsewhere in the Soviet Union. According to the latest census (2010), under 10% of the current population identifies as “Karelian” or “Finn”.

I agree with you 100%. You’re going along reading a bunch of very reasonable and helpful advice, then BAM, politics, stereotyping, and class warfare! One can observe that most of the “problems” that today’s startups are solving are not very interesting or inspiring without resorting to politically charged language and personal attacks (and for the record, I agree that the ideas he lists are silly at best).
Have to give credit, though; he saved it for the end. If that’s #1, I don’t bother reading the rest and I would guess many others wouldn’t either. So that’s clever at least.

The only issue is that people were forced to pay for Windows when buying a PC for running a different operating system. PC hardware OEM’s paid royalties to Microsoft whether or not users installed Microsoft systems, and the OEM’s passed down this cost indiscriminately. That’s an example of monopoly power: I want to buy just a PC, without a hundred-something dollar OS, but I can’t.
As for bundling of IE, Microsoft has a right to put whatever they want into their software release otherwise. People who use Windows and then complain that it comes bundled with a Microsoft (gasp!) web browser can be safely regarded as supreme morons.
Moreover, the history of Windows is full of entitled whiners whose application or utility became irrelevant when Microsoft realized that an OS should ship with that kind of thing and produced an equivalent. According to those pitiful nincompoops, the OS vendor has no right to bundle things such as a TCP/IP stack, disk compression or anti-malware utilities, because it threatens their “add-ons”. (Nobody would have even used their add-ons for the narrow window of time when they were relevant, were it not for that OS vendor’s installed base.)
Google runs a program on some machines in the cloud that only respond when you resolve their name and send them a TCP/IP SYN packet. Every search starts with someone resolving “google.com” or similar and making the first contact.

I once worked on a website that analyzed Python code in order to index it into elasticsearch for structural search queries (things like “find me all classes that inherit from SomeBaseClass”). Python’s built-in ast library outputs a tree for you to traverse, and even with their provided tree walker you still deal with the internals of the tree and recursion.
Furthermore, part of our indexing needed to follow imports to find the canonical name of a value, which is a problem very well suited to a recursive solution.
You may not have encountered these situations where recursion and trees have to be dealt with, but they absolutely exist.

Their actual cheese store is a thing of beauty, too. You are not allowed to buy any cheese without tasting: they shove little bites at you as you ask questions.
Americans don’t love cheese enough. There should be one of these on every corner, like Arizmendi, but with more cheese!

Uh, you’re now using the word ‘internship’ when your ad specifically used the word ‘apprenticeship’. And the HN submission is “Apprenticeships, not internships”.
If you have requirements for your role, then that’s ok. But then it isn’t an apprenticeship, it’s an internship, and it’s no different to all the other internships out there.

I setup Discourse for a couple of days and absolutely hated everything about it.
- It actually ok to setup, following instructions.
- The UI is awful.
- Changing the sub domain didn’t work until I executed some commands.
- The admin panel was awful, just a mess.
- The frontend didn’t really guide the user through what they were doing.

This is pretty much the preferred cure from what I’ve gathered. If you can build a PC with two GPU’s (or merely one PCIe and one integrated), you can game, use Photoshop nearly natively.
But as you have said, it’s not as straighforward as I’d like. I haven’t tried it yet but it’s nice seeing others having success.
Are there any up to date guides and best practices for this?

You may be recalling “the web we used to have” with nostalgia. The web we have is MUCH better and Google does it share of paying for it.

This actively discriminates against people who find certain typefaces difficult, those using assistive technologies, and those using mobile devices. It’s also not machine-friendly, so search engines can’t index it and Ctrl+F doesn’t work.
There’s probably plenty of other reasons people can give for why plaintext is better.
I wish people wouldn’t do this. It’s not even necessary to get the desired effect. CSS has had rotation, custom fonts, custom backgrounds and such for a long time.

In the old days we use to just call them cell phones. These days I just call it “my iPhone” or when I am referencing other people’s phone, I just say “phone”. If I am developing and talking about it in development context, then and only then do I reference mobile of any kind.

Actually if you see ?no-ist at the end of the URL, this is their anti-adblock measure. Short for ‘no-interstitial’ means they didn’t get to show you an ad, so don’t show the article either. If you simply delete this part of the URL, it will load properl.

Fine I’ll use the S & P 500.
It opened 1969 at 102. It opened 1979 at 99.71.
Adjusted for inflation, the SP500 peaked in 1968, then dipped and did not return to this real level until 1992. 22 years.
The S&P 500 entered 2000 at 1425. Not until 2013 would it open the year at or above that. Adjusted for inflation, it did not hit its 2000 level until the turn of this year. It has been tanking the past few days.
