"The harm to society is also fixed". No it scales with the amount of productivity lost during that time period. A football player that get's a masters before going to the NFL has a greater cost and a lower benefit than a teacher that get's a masters before teaching high-school English.

This is obviously a "troll" case that is getting undue attention and credibility by DLA Piper's representation. To prevent these type of cases in the future, we, as entrepreneurs, should not give business to DLA Piper and other firms that take on cases like this to make the point that this is not ok.

That DLA Piper has taken on the case doesn't mean that the claim is credible. It only means that they deemed the case credible enough that Facebook likely will try to kill the case with a big settlement and DLA Piper will get a large chunk of that because they probably represent Ceglia on contingency basis.

The bigger problem is that by taking on the case, DLA Piper has made the claim appear more credible not only because of their skillful lawyering, but also because of their reputation. But the fact still remains that this is a "troll" case. Zuckerberg built Facebook and implemented his idea to make it big, and it's rather unfortunate if the outdated "general partnership" business structure could be applied to an internet company in this way.

It appears that while DLA Piper can use its reputation to make the case more credible, the fact that the firm took on a "troll" case doesn't affect its reputation, though it should. When a small law firm that is struggling for its survival takes on questionable cases that is one thing, but DLA Piper has a choice even in a bad economy.
Rake is your friend.

This became patently obvious when I rode motorcycles that ran the whole gamut of rake angles. Even more obvious when I then remounted a bicycle, which has drastically less rake than even the most aggressive motorcycle.

The software engineers have plenty of leverage over every company without unions. A proof of that is high wages across the industry. And for Amazon in particular, where is that extra money coming from? It's not like they have a dividend to shareholders they could stop paying out. They're not some law firm where the partners are profit sharing. It's a publicly traded company that just constantly reinvests in growth. They're practically famous for that. So really to pay more, they must either get more efficient (probably already trying at that) or raise prices or stop reinvesting. I guess they could pay the higher paid workers less, but isn't that already the software engineers we're talking about? Those are the higher paid workers.

As an aside, I sometimes wonder if they could literally have qualified as a not for profit whose sole goal is to grow into new market segments and employ more people. Because if you take a wide angle view of it, that's pretty much all they ever do.
Android app is coming out in a few days ( as per founder's townhall chat yesterday )
Giants will clone and make a piece of shit. Apps like this survive by creating a network of people. They do that by creating demand to join the service. How do you do that? Make it invite only, and invite a ton of high profile people and get them using and talking about it, creating FOMO.

The only people who threaten this are Facebook and Twitter. Twitter _actually_ could clone it or buy a competitor. But, look at Twitter’s history of that. They literally KILLED a TikTok by buying it and shutting it down. They are in the process of killing a live video competitor to twitch and youtube called periscope.

I think the comment was very reasonable. Yes, it mentions gender/ethnicity/nationality in a way that is likely to incite some people to attack, but in this case gender and ethnicity/nationality was mentioned in the article as a relevant detail, so I think it's reasonable to include it in a comment.

I just feel that it's not reasonable to hold GP responsible for a touchy subject, when the touchy subject is part of the article they're commenting on in the first place. If it came out of nowhere, then obviously that'd be a different story.
So you've seen the same person say both of that?
We've spent a lot of time working around the limitations of FireStore, but it does work reliably. Pricing is VERY hard to extrapolate from early use; all it takes is one feature request and your assumptions are blown.

I don’t know what true OOM means, but my desktop has crashed I think at least three times in the last four months and the console said “OOM killer”. About 15GB of usable RAM, 2GB swap drive. I just have to have the usual applications open plus another browser in addition to Firefox, namely Chrome. (But naturally I don’t try to actively reproduce the behavior since I usually have better things to do than wait 10 minutes from everything becoming unresponsive -- even switching from the graphical session to a console -- to the OOM killer finally deciding to kill Chrome.) And I don’t run any virtual machines, just a big, fat IDE and stuff like that.
If in the frontend stack, just install/upgrade/remove a few dependencies. Huge LoC change count due to new dependency tree being reflected in your npm or yarn lockfile.

Hmmm... what does "with OCR added" mean? If there is text in the video (e.g. street sign) that it can also be searched??
The advice about seeking out a physical therapist is great. Here's a quick thing you can try in your own, Google scalene trigger point release. That takes a minute per side and eases the pain for a few hours. I've shown this trick to quite a few with most experiencing the same benefits.
I've used SVG pretty heavily for years, in particular for the last couple of months as I've been writing libraries/tools that render SVG output (parsing for the cli tool side, lots of hand-writing & testing, cleaning, rendering).

Yes an s-expression is imo normally the best representation (more specifically, an x-expression (see Racket) would be ideal). However, practically, it's not actually that useful. It is very useful as an intermediary step.

For example for a tool where the SVG is parsed to an x-expression and cleaned then compiled back. This is one of the [aborted] things I was working on, as the three best existing tools [in JS, Python and Rust] for this all have issues of one kind or another. Or you have a tool that allows you to write x-expressions then compile. But always with this, if that's the case, can't really directly jnterop with the host language/platform -- as you say, would have to be from first principles. And further to that, it would need HTML from first principles because one of the huge, huge benefits is that SVG drops directly into HTML with virtually the same semantics, same styling, same JS interactivity hooks. And the issue is compounded by SVG not just being XML, that it is also a DSL (NB solution is normally to restrict to a subset of features), so the clean structure breaks down pretty often. Imo SVG has to be the way it is, that the tradeoffs of the bastardised XML it uses have to have been made for it to be actually useful. Those tradeoffs also make it difficult to use, and often very difficult to parse easily. But without changing how HTML works, how web browser rendering works, I don't see how there are any alternatives that are substantially better.
Exposing the evil is the utility here. Letting this proposal float unobserved is the greater evil.

On the spectrum from compilers to machine learning to frontend, there are plenty of technologies.
> I've been using Python for ML for the last 3 years and I've never felt this way. It might be that I'm not all about the hip new languages, but I don't really see the benefit of making Python more ML/Haskell-ish.

Julia is not ML-ish. In fact, at first blush, Julia reads very similarly to Python. You even get list comprehensions in Julia!

> Sure, the code that you used to implement your model may improve slightly, but I don't see that code improving significantly. The fruit of your labor is usually a protobuf file (encoding the TensorFlow graph) or whatever your framework uses to encode the model you built. The code actually surrounding it is very minimal for most use cases.

It's really about breaking down the compositional boundaries here. Upthread, someone talked about how they could play around with Bayesian Nets by simply mixing Flux.jl (the differential programming library) with Turing.jl (the Bayesian programming library). Mixing Tensorflow/PyTorch with PyStan, for example, can be a nightmare. That's also why there's so many implementations of probabilistic programming frameworks (Edward, PyMC3, PyStan, Pyro, etc); they all use different underlying libraries. In Julia they just all compose together.

> I don't see why you would compose a TensorFlow model with a PyTorch model without incurring tons of overhead in your application around gluing these two things

I find the change to be illuminating. Before I started spending more time with Julia, I would often do derivations on paper for more experimental work, and then implement it using TF/PyTorch in Python from scratch, reading other code where I could for some help. In Julia I can import a library and I'm ready to go. It feels just like working with math itself.

Julia also lets you compose long trains of operators together. That also helps when I'm doing long sessions in the REPL exploring data. It lets me define a few functions in a file, import the file, and just pipe (Julia has a pipe operator which is just function application) output between functions to plot data or calculate errors.

Moreover Julia is a lot more performant for REPL work than Python. In Python I'll usually work with a subset of a dataset to get an idea for it, then run a file with code to process the entire dataset. In Julia I can often prototype and run the algorithm in the REPL itself.

I also want to stress that Julia is quite a bit faster for REPL development, both in terms of raw speed
Many sites do this. Baseball-reference is one of them.
Svelte did this by throwing away virtual DOMs and using a compiler to directly bind elements to data.

My Sparkasse app (Germany) lets me add other bank accounts and the credentials are stored only in the app. I think there's an EU directive forcing banks to have an open API, which makes it work. Much better than screenscraping.

Journalists and provocateur's have nothing in common. Journalists, in my experience, are very easy to work with. They understand and appreciate the stress of the situations first responders deal with 24/7 and are keen to keep their jobs generally. That is, filming and then posting someone bleeding out to Instagram is a quick way to get sued. Journalists, in my experience have a common sense of decency that provocateur's lack. There is a massive gap between professionals working a scene and bystanders provoking first responders to get likes.

See the paper.

It allows for the ecosystem to have a combinatorial explosion of possibilities as each domain expert works on their own package.

I can't foresee every application, but the emergence is the point. This is just a crazy example to show the bounds of what's possible.
> That's not a moral judgment.

That was still a moral judgement. Welfare and UBI always have this issue in that everyone has a moral opinion on what recipients of money should spend it on.

If you have money, nobody cares what you spend it on, but if you don't have money, suddenly everyone has an opinion on what you should and shouldn't be allowed to use it for.
Since Launchpad existed before Github, Bazaar before Git, and Upstart before systemd, I am not sure where the NIH feelings are coming from.
I think this is one of the points that the spirit of GDPR and similar legal frameworks gets right: users have the right to opt-in, without service being degraded if they don't, to data sharing unless that data sharing is "necessary" to fulfill the transaction (I believe this is the basis for "legitimate interest").

If I'm buying a SaaS or DBaaS from a vendor over a marketplace, or launching a metrics collector where phoning those metrics home is a core value prop, I'd be fine to be told that sharing information with the end operator, not just the marketplace, is necessary to fulfill the transaction. And there should be contracts in place to ensure my data's not used for unrelated purposes. If the operator breaches those contracts, the operator is liable.

But in what possible way is "using a pre-packaged Linux distribution" a transaction where sharing information with the packager is "necessary?"

I have no doubt that Microsoft's lawyers have covered their posteriors here. But the spirit of these regulations would be that users don't have the expectation that they're opting into Canonical getting their info just because they use a bog-standard Ubuntu distro. Users didn't knowingly consent to this.

(EDIT: not a lawyer, not legal advice)
No problem if it's inorganic. I expect there must be some kind of evolutionary reason for it - the fact that it's an itching/crawling feeling strongly suggests it has/had something to do with bugs.

Was it just title, or did you not get the money originally offered? Is your role not the same as they said in the interview?

Deep down I would have a trust issue with the company. Although often titles are handed out as fake promotions and have little meaning. Senior developer vs junior analyst vs architect. They all sound different but could be the same job as there are little / no laws regulating titles.

Do you enjoy your job? Do you like your pay? Depending, I would start shopping your resume.
You can, by construction, create an additive solution that interacts with only your choice of bits of the previous system.

To remove, you must be sure you know the full interaction graph it already has.

I encounter this in code all the time. I'm currently dealing with a support case where I tried to remove ~10 lines of code, and wouldn't you know it, it's causing issues. By contrast I add lines of code by the hundreds all the time with virtually no issues.

Jenga's only a metaphor, don't too caught up in it. Most human-designed systems don't have dependency graphs that look like that. Ugly ones, sure, ones that don't match the pretty diagrams, sure, but we don't generally build systems where literally everything critically depends on everything else, if for no other reason than we aren't good enough to build that sort of system without it coming down around our ears almost immediately. We have to have some degree of isolation.

(There are multiple places where for simplicity I'm not adding caveats, like, obviously I can't always add 100s of lines with no issues.)
You can still steer, since it is supported by the training wheel then the front wheel can be turned any direction as it isn't needed to be pointing a specific way to maintain balance.

Also I'm talking about the training wheels being lifted an inch or two. Causes a lean of maybe 10 - 15 degrees I'd guess.
Yeah and in the case of google, good luck finding support.
Truth is that if you are getting good performance reviews and not being promoted, you need to find another job at a higher level to get that promotion. Your current company is happy to keep you placated and working at your current level.

> But this risk-adjusted thing is just silly: either you have the money or you do not

Money is not a limiting factor, risk is.
If you have a low risk strategy, you won't have problems borrowing money to invest in it.

Its not silly, because the amount of reward depend on amount of risk.

So, if you compare returns of different strategies/funds, you need to first rescale them to the same amount of risk

It’s interesting because their trading stresses the idea that any encounter could be deadly, even though it’s far from true. Policing in the US barely cracks the list of the top 15 most dangerous jobs. In fact the top two killers of on duty officers are car crashes and heart attacks. Random accidents and friendly fire also rank highly.

Their mistaken beliefs about the dangers of random encounters definitely incentivize bad behavior.
ReactiveCocoa is a fairly mature FRP library from GitHub.

It strikes me as a funny comparison. I agree that the react approach can feel like a better fit than FRP at the view layer, but it's not like there aren't positive reasons to use FRP/signal-based programming in your model layer or when wiring up your models to React views.
The difference was that the russian government did actively attack them, it merely was trying to block illegal content. Github didn't remove the repo, they simply blocked that page for russian users. Also the material they were blocking was a suicide poem, and while free speech was being minorly impacted, all in all it's removal didn't affect very many people.

In this case china is attacking them directly, and removing the repos in question would affect people's ability to use that software, greatly affecting freedom from censorship for many many people.
