SEEKING WORK - Madison, WI or Remote Freelance full-stack developer. I can take full responsibility for end-to-end development of your company's new application, or join an existin…

Trump won't listen to traditional environmental groups. I think what is needed is for a right-wing organization to offer a conservative non-denier as an alternative, and mount a la…

The first question to ask with any James O'Keefe video is "where is the raw video." He has a long and sordid history of fabricating these kinds of storylines.

Quick, someone feed the instructions for each of these sandwiches through an RNN.

>> Decentralized has no immediate direct benefit for riders. Yes, but decentralized could have a very direct benefit for drivers... considering that sans an army of driverless cars…

The software agent that consumers interact with would have to be responsible for determining the accuracy of ratings. I suspect that the most important aspect of such a system woul…

Interesting observations on the dynamic with "real cabbies." I would envision a decentralized system including both "real cabs", whose parent company vouches for a driver's licensi…

Good points. I meant "overnight" loosely, but I have a few other comments. * Any software may be branded - no one needs to know the word "blockchain" when they use a well-designed …

A decentralized ride solicitation tool with a reputation system, maybe blockchain-based, could kill off Uber and Lyft almost overnight. Especially if existing taxi companies embrac…

Years ago, my impression was that the goal of the Volt was to be fully-electric with a range-extending flex-fuel generator that recharges the batteries (rather than a hybrid approa…

There are a lot of people building their own projects, as well as volunteering time to official campaign projects. https://coders.forsanders.com/

I've used a WeakMap for a kind of memoization. Assume an immutable object may undergo an expensive transform that returns an object, which is then stored in a WeakMap keyed to the …

Calling it the "myth" of basic science is not instructive. Plus, the general gist of this article isn't new. But nonetheless interesting and accurate in many aspects. But the old […

Of course culture plays a role, as does education level of one's parents, access to opportunity such as good health care and higher education, the role of the criminal justice syst…

All the evidence points the opposite direction... in the United States, you are unlikely to escape the economic circumstances that you are born into, especially if you are born int…

This was also discussed last year: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8063870

As an American in Wisconsin with Swiss roots (southwest Wisconsin has a strong Swiss imprint), your comment sounds so cool to me. It's much the same here... more cheese and sausage…

Certainly, when it happens on the federal level it is of higher significance. It remains to be seen, if after scrutiny, Clinton engaged in official misdeeds by keeping her official…

It's sad and surprising how often this pattern seems to repeat itself. For another example (that's probably not well-known outside Wisconsin), Scott Walker set up a private server …

Is 100% dual agency the norm? The industry definitely seems pretty opaque in regards to these issues. In my circumstance, the seller agent's contract stipulated that the agent earn…

It seems the value of this is highly dependent on the local market. A 2% commission on a $300k home is comparably priced at $6000 (and commission rates are negotiable), but a local…

Sharing of previous semester code (or quizzes, exams, etc) should enhance the learning process, not hinder it. This is a bad and lazy policy for a school. Instructors should be cre…

For many use-cases, http://prose.io works well. You can then use TravisCI (or the like) to trigger the site rebuild and deployment.

This doesn't directly address your question, but the "financialization" [0] of the economy has gotten us to the point where 9% of GDP (as of 2012) is consumed by the finance sector…
