Disappointed to see a Fermilab publication throwing around weight and mass in the same sentence, such as "neutrinos must weigh less than 2 electronvolts".

Further, it may be common in HEP to use natural units and thus eV is OK but in a (somewhat) lay publication, that really should stay eV/c^2 until natural units are introduced.
Depends on the industry, I see lots of management/marketing/bizdev job postings which just say something along the lines of "competitive salary offered", including roles where you'd guess the salary might be £20k or £150k.
twitter should hire op, this is some incredible analysis - and I don't think he counts as an amateur.

Also, they are apparently too busy battling isis (http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2016/feb/05/twitter-de...) to deal with the spam issue effectively.
18650 refers to the cell form factor--the size and shape--and has nothing to do with the chemistry inside. It's like saying two PC motherboards are the same because they're both ATX.

The cells in the original roadster were 3.7 V / 2100 mAh vs. 3.6 V / 3100 mAh for the latest. They're both 18650 cells--completely different chemistry.
Even if he had no choice, he certainly didn't have to leak everything without the time to go over it. As I pointed out elsewhere in this thread, he's leaked stuff that were completely legal, i.e. the US spying on other countries.
But if you had only been polite, would you have gone away feeling frustrated or ripped off? There's a reason people are rude to customer service staff - it's to vent their frustrations at the company that's causing them grief, and thus feel more relieved themselves.

The job of the rep is to represent the company and that includes receiving gratitude as well as criticism, "I love you" as well as "you f*". Perhaps the problem is that there are people desperate enough to suffer abuse in exchange for money. We already solved similar issues protecting people from their own desperation with minimum wage and workplace safety laws so maybe we need a legally required "maximum personal abuse" requirement on employers to protect workers from this.
The CLI just generates the file structure. We fill in the SQL manually as part of the guide, and then create the structs immediately after that.
Seems AGI is the rage these days. David Deutch has an article and outlines a good point. We won't have an AGI before a good theory of consciousness. Some philosopher will first need to explain consciousness in detail (more so than Dan Denett, which already did an amazing job), and then neuroscientists might have to prove that theory right, AND THEN AI researchers will be able to take a stab at it. So I don't think it will just pop in to existence by running some neural network training over and over again.
This isn't the most correct analysis, the cares are comparable in price but not in the actual category the Tesla is anything but a Luxury car as far as the internals go, it is currently a hip status symbol just like the iPhone was (and is) but it could just as much turn out to be an iWatch down the line.

Tesla doesn't publish very detailed sales figures and there isn't that market research into it (at least public one) yet, currently it seems that many people are buying a Tesla as a second (or even 3rd, 4th etc ;)) car as people who can afford to buy a 100,000$ car usually will have more than 1.

From anecdotal experience I've also noticed that quite a few of the people who buy through finance / lease a Tesla really can't afford one but like many people who end up buying a 800$ phone do - simply because it makes them feel better.

Tesla owners currently enjoy quite a bit of perks that traditional car owners do not, the insurance rates tend to be quite preferable (most likely partially subsidized by Tesla it self), the finance options are also one of the best in the market (In the UK I can pretty much get a 100% finance on a Tesla which costs about my yearly pre-tax income, considering the cost of living and the taxes I pay I would technically will not be able to afford it, I can't get any thing close to this for other cars which cost 100K GBP for example), this is not that dissimilar than how Apple pushed a very expensive handset at the time through their partnered carriers but phones aren't cars so it yet to be seen how it will work out.

Most Tesla owners haven't owned the car for longer than a year atm, the average life span of a car in the US is still about 10 years, there isn't enough data currently to know how the Tesla secondary market will work out (the current "secondary" market sells cars that are usually couple of months in use for almost the same price as a new one), what will the end TCO of a Tesla be after say 5 years to both the end consumer and the company.

Luxury cars in the US have a very well established secondary market with buy backs and dealerships that specialize in reselling cars that tend to hold the value quite well (this is especially true to the more boutique cars like Jags).
Some cars are have also very specific markets in the US (and any where else) e.g. while pretty much anyone will want to drive a BMW 5/7 series or a high end Audi not that many people will go for a Jag or a range rover these days.

Tesla has had a very good market penetration but it's really too early to tell what it means, and with a large part of it's costumers buying it because it's cool and because of it's environment impact (or lack there off) could also quite likely look at other EV options when some actually arrive on the market.
I'm assuming this was an offhand remark, but if you are looking for a serious answer: the Japanese Govt. has been trying a similar thing for over a decade to kick the economy into growth and has failed rather spectacularly and persistently in doing this.

I can't help but think that there's no difference between good streams and bad streams. The system should automatically track and handle abuse so that it's not possible; as soon as you say things like the purpose of this or that tracklisting is fraudulent whereas another selection isn't and you've sort of lost me. I also can't help that this whole model - of artists getting fuck all money from their music being streamed - is going to end up where it belongs, in the toilet, eventually and the internet will be used to allow the creators to profit by selling their stuff directly to the consumers without all the suits, parasites and hangers-on taking their cut.

>We have "AI" that can drive a car or a copter, play Chess or Go, translate speech to text, do image recognition ... but what we mean by human intelligence is something different.

Says who? Who says that "general" intelligence doesn't just mean doing the same glorified statistics with larger search spaces, leading to greater difficulty weighting-and-searching those spaces with statistical data, leading to a greater difficulty writing learning systems that perform well without discovering new statistical principles?
This is still one of Rust's major shortcomings. Async IO, particularly async database and network IO, are still pretty much nonexistent in any practical sense. Some libraries are in the works, but for the time being, I'm still passing over Rust for any real work.

Electron is cool and all, but every application with it bundles its own entire web browser stack and uses ~200MB+ of RAM (and that's the low end—VS Code with 2 small files open).

It's my opinion that Electron is a terrible idea.
You're just biased towards the so-called hard sciences. There is nothing about them specifically that prevents groupthink as you call it. Science deals with what is, not with what ought to be or shouldn't be and so on. Sure, for a scientist the universe kicks back but that is nothing to do with how a scientist chooses what to work on in the first place, and what preconceived notions and frameworks that scientist is operating under. I could give countless examples of scientists comfortably working within ideological frameworks or reasoning using incorrect theories.

The whole point of philosophy is that it is meant to encourage freedom of thought and free-thinking individuals. That's its job spec. I disagree that “there is just as much "groupthink" as in almost any human endeavor” -- if that really is the case then philosophy is failing at what philosophy _ought_ to be succeeding at.

I'm not saying Bostrom isn't an extraordinarily good philsopher, I'm saying that seeing the big picture and going against conventional wisdom and intuition goes with the territory. Don't imagine that I'm running Bostrom down, I very much enjoy reading the guy and listening to his thought processes, I find him to be a very rigourous thinker.

Maybe it's a small quibble, of course he can be both.
300-350 for mid level developers and up to 600 for seniors? Where is this?
Could you elaborate for my benefit what you mean by that? I thought git was distributed by its very nature since the repository lives in many remotes and no single one is critical to the others.
The headline is somewhat insulting, because I don't think my current code management system sucks.....different strokes for different folks, I guess.

The product being marketed is a replacement for Gerrit, though. They have found a different way to handle code reviews, merges, and also added features like issue trackers and integrations with other tools. It might be worth taking a look at, but I tend to prefer free (as in speech) tools over proprietary tools.
They should fork into multiple products:

BlenderCore
-> BlenderCAD
-> BlenderEnginer
-> Blender3D
-> BlenderVideo
etc.

... but if Andrew met resistance before, that's probably a non-starter. :(
It's very close to landing in hyper, which should then percolate up through the rest of the ecosystem, at least, HTTP-wise.

I think you're being DV'd because people think you're saying "this is just finger." But I think you're actually reminding people of that old service, which won't be familiar to newer generation, and was ubiquitous back in the day.
I generally agree. Are there frameworks or db access libraries that just offer some helpers around plain ole SQL? Seems like very framework/ORM invents it's own query DSL.
LinkedIn got crushed today in a very similar fashion on weak earnings. So, it's not just Tableau. In fact, the whole tech sector is starting to show some weakness which can be seen from the NASDAQ's recent performance. A lot of last year's tech-related IPOs have also performed terribly (e.g. Etsy, Box, Match, First Data, Square). Especially recently a lot of the previous momentum darlings like Apple, Amazon and Netflix have started rolling over, too. Facebook and Google were holding much better after strong earnings, but even those are starting to show signs of weakness now. Seems like we might be at the end of the phase of explosive growth over the last couple of years.
In the 2nd recording on that page, the caller identified himself as a former soldier with PTSD. That sounds like someone who made a decision to take a high risk of ruining his life - and it happened. If you can't accept suffering mental illness and physical injury or death, then don't become a soldier.

I believe a key factor in AI doomsayers' thinking is the interconnectedness, complexity and automation of an AI-driven world. The actual presence of intelligence is a red herring: we already have problems with complex automatic systems failing catastrophically: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Northeast_blackout_of_2003
Kind of early to start making conclusions isn't it? Stumbling world economy and record low oil prices. Not exactly a receipt of Tesla success.

"If I'd wanted to negotiate my salary myself, I wouldn't be using a recruiter."

For me, recruiters are useful for two reasons: to find me interesting opportunities and to help me get an interview.

When they've served those two functions, I'd prefer them to just get out of my way. From that point on, I feel my own interests are best served by me representing myself.

The recruiter's real customer is not really any one particular candidate, who they might see just once in their whole career, but the employer, who will likely be a repeat customer if the recruiter satisfies their needs. Looked upon from that perspective, it's not always in the recruiter's interest to land the candidate the highest salary possible. That might get the recruiter a higher cut that one time, but their real customer might not be too pleased if the recruiter keeps sending them expensive candidates. They'd be far happier if the recruiter managed to get them a sweet deal on a good worker.

So I'll just keep doing my own negotiations, thank you very much.

If it is being marketed as a journal than I think this is one of the worst ideas someone could have. It would be all of the information someone would need to social engineer their way into ruining your life gathered into one place.

It's pleasant to be snarky or even in denial about the existence of those four archetypes. The sad truth is not only that they exist, but that they benefit from cryptocurrencies in general.

I spent 2012 and 2013 vigorously parrying journalists who only wanted to write about Bitcoin and the four horsemen. I was wrong to do that. Most Bitcoin transactions of substance in 2012 were related to one of the four.

While I'm pissed off that I spent time taking shots in the public limelight on behalf of asshole drug dealers, that was not actually the point I was raising above. I presume that the zcash folks are aware their inventions will be used for bad things, and have weighed the moral calculus, and are fine with the outcome. And, I wouldn't necessarily disagree with that calculus.

What I was saying is that a clear-headed individual needs to go into launching a cryptocurrency like this with the certain knowledge that their tool will be used, very rapidly, and perhaps very aggressively, to forward the agendas of the four horsemen. In fact, those will likely be the earliest adopters, or the earliest adopters with real money.

That has some implications for how you design your own responsibility / rights / powers in a cryptocurrency. To think otherwise is terribly avoidant behavior.

Fine. Let's say any legacy automaker can deploy an entire network in 2-3 years. When does that start? Will it be starting soon?

On its own, the code representation is not an improvement. Where it shines is when you want to compose result sets.

For example, in ActiveRecord (the Ruby library that this looks very much influenced by), given:

posts = Post.where(user_id: 1)

...you can now do things like:

recent_posts = posts.order(created_at: :desc).limit(100)

or

tagged = recent_posts.where('tag in ?', ['hacker', 'news'])

and then you can extract data:

tagged.group_by('tag')

or do mutate it:

tagged.update_attributes({author_id: 2})

or

tagged.destroy_all

...And so on. By encapsulating a result set as something that can be augmented with new query clauses (where, limit, select) and so on, you can incrementally build queries, pass them to other functions, store them as member variables so that they be reused as "scopes" across multiple calls, and so on.

If the query were just a string, this sort of thing becomes awkward, verbose, brittle, and generally not type-safe.

Tech Bubble Collapsing?
I believe there is still much to improve in the way computers are used in the design of structures. The default modeling experience in Autocad has not really changed ...since when? Yet, it's one of the largest softwares out there. I think the modeling paradigm is flawed because it originates from a need to fit lots of data into a tiny ram, and the whole workflow is built around this. Yes, there is the APi - but the differnce between a good UI and an API is the difference between Photoshop and ImageMagick.

Project pipelines: Design information is passed between specialists and project offices. Here DWG - being as popular as it is - is used like a checkin of a git branch - it is as well suited for this as a docx document. People manage, though, with a bit of manual project specific work thrown in. No amount of fancy viewers is going to fix this.

People have started to notice that good graphics are available from 'off the shelf' and that handling the basic geometric primitives is not really rocket science. I'm confident OnShape will be followed by a sleuth of new modeling tools soon - and probabably not from Autodesk. They are too busy protecting their entrenched dominion. I might be wrong though.
Touch ID or any other fingerprint readers are static, but what about behavioral biometrics which are very difficult to reproduce if done right, like voice verification or dynamic signature verification?

Don't forget that today's iris scan, using Daugman's algorithm are the gold standard in biometric technology.
OPs analogy still holds in my opinion. Their compensation was baseball cards, and it's unfortunate for them that it crashed, but the value behind them was terribly abstract.

Closer to 45% really. But it's still cheaper than paying less rent and owning a car. Not having any dependents is also pretty handy in keeping money piling around instead of spending it.

We also save a lot (and are healthier and save time) by cooking at home instead of going out to eat.

So, really, we get to both live in downtown SF, and travel pretty much whenever we feel like it.

Oops, excuse my mistaken quote of the Tianhe flops.

Regarding the bandwidth bottleneck, it's fascinating to see that as one hardware problem is overcome, the next one looms even greater. The same is happening with the software, as machine learning, etc. is advancing (as contentious as that statement may be to people deep in the industry) the coming hurdles look even more intimidating.

The algorithms that need to be developed to reach the milestones of intelligence are incredibly difficult. What excites me is evolutionary algorithms that may be harnessed to reach those milestones. This may be a brute-force method, and researchers would have to know what to tell the algorithms to select for at first, but with increasing computational power, running significant amounts of these algorithms in parallel could be negligible. If you see this comment dhj, have you considered evolutionary computation in your predictions? I'd be interested in what you think, as your clarification of the bandwidth problem was enlightening to me.
In addition for wishing that, what actions can regular citizens take to prevent more of them from propagating and mongering for war?

- Vote for peaceful / isolationism candidates (and talk about this with your friends)

- Vote for penalties for conflict of interest/corruption related to war (owning stock in weapons companies that sell weapons to wars you legislated for)

- Eliminate the need for war by making it obsolete, e.g. providing all would-be war-joiners with better options (spend money on libraries, positive media, startups..?)

Nope but they tend to serve other needs like keeping a good social structure within the company and being presentable to investors or doing client facing pre-sale / post-sale work besides coding.

There are allot of ways that a company can monetize their employees and allot of factors that end up being calculated to come up with the figure they end up paying for them, being socially well adjusted and attractive can have a good effect on your salary as people both tend to equate intelligence to good looks oddly enough and that they could use you for other things as well.

In some cases it also might be ticking a box kind of thing I've seen companies recruit attractive females before to both tick the diversity box and to keep some of the more social awkward coders working harder (this came directly from the mouth of a female headhunter that even boasted she specializes in hiring office eye candy that can do some coding on the side).
Couch infantry is at it again. Stock price doesn't mean a damn to a company unless it's about to issue more shares. It only has any meaning to people who own its stock.
