I think a lot of the push for BI comes from the realization that a lot of these jobs will go away through automation. We already see grocery stores with automated self check out stations. Soon, we'll see the same kind of automation at work in Amazon warehouses stocking the shelves too. An entire supermarket could operate with only a handful of employees. Yes, they'd have to be paid a bit more to create a gap between the pay and BI, but the overall costs of running the supermarket would go down.

Across all sectors of the economy, lots of low-income jobs will be eliminated. If we don't have BI to protect those soon-to-be-ex-workers, we're going to have a sizable portion of population in poverty, with no skills that let them outperform automated systems.
Yeah I was thinking in terms of the future, especially if FB integrates digital wallets like WeChat. Not the Amazon-like shopping part necessarily, but payments, talking to customers, stuff like that.
You mean the offspring of powerful people has undue influence? Call the press.
Tried something similar a while back, only using Sparks Word2Vec implementation, though just looking at individual organizations as used in different subreddits. It is surprising how far Word2Vec can take you in deriving word similarity.

Used POS tagging in a previous post, though not with Word2Vec since I wasn't sure if differences like duck verb vs. duck noun would improve the result because the placement of verb vs. noun would already be different. Though certainly an interesting approach, I'm wondering if going backwards might yield better results for the POS tagger as well, since verb vs noun would span disparate word clusters.

The late Michael Hastings' The Operators was a good read if you find the sausage making process interesting.

He has a strong viewpoint, but stories of Gen McChrystal throwing out ISAF functionaries from plush offices and closing officer bars at the Kabul ISAF headquarters were fairly humorous.

There were overriding politics between superiors, but the irony is that McChrystal, any infeasible strategy aside, got thrown out for showing distain for the same wasteful, corrupt system that everyone else gripes about.
Your assumption is not necessarily true.

> A single job posting can remain active indefinitely and does not necessarily represent just one open position.

I have asked about this already, several times in several postings. At this point, I'll take but one concrete example. Could you post one link, a single link, of one of these (from I assume a huge population) endless job postings from say Google, Facebook, Apple, HP, IBM, ... well from anyone, which represents a huge quantity of unfillable positions with near zero qualified applicants? I am curious for just one example. One.

Of course CEOs and VCs want engineers at the cheapest rates possible to increase their bottom line. Yes, indeed they have both monetary incentive and the means to exercise the political influence towards that goal. I don't see how that provides any proof or even marginal evidence that there is a massive STEM shortage.

If these CEOs and VCs have the data I have never seen it shared. Not one smidgen of detailed HR data.

Again, the original referenced article does offer up evidence of its premise and cites several studies, a PBS documentary, statistics, etc.

I understand you believe there is a massive shortage of STEM people unable to fill countless blackholes of open positions. Maybe this is just too big an ask, can you provide any evidence, at all? A link to a peer reviewed study from academia? Or maybe a link to detailed testimony from Apple's or Microsoft's CEO on capital hill. Any definitive numbers?? Anything at all?
I don't know much about video transcoding, but if FFMPEG can utilize streams it's easy to work around the lambda size constraints.

You can process several GBs in the 5 minute window by piping your S3 download stream through your transformation steps then directly into an S3 upload stream. Nothing ever persists to disk, so your only worry if anything is managing your stream buffers so you don't run out of memory.

As long as any single step of your pipeline doesn't exceed the time limit, you can make really nifty pipelines for large file processing by using the S3 upload as "temp space" then an S3 event to automatically trigger the next step of your pipeline.

Unfortunately the product I'm looking to build is a large logistical undertaking as well as a technical one, and I have great (and American!) co-founders that can help with the funding and hiring.

While I see the merit in the first half of your post - I'm still looking for outside investment, and I'm unsure a seed/angel investor would be willing to put a bet on an international company. As well as that "working" for a for-profit entity, even if it is back home - I believe is violation of status.

Does Craigslist have a section for Australia?
Careful. Putting stuff on the kerb outside of official kerbside collections is considered illegal dumping in many Australian cities. It's hard to prosecute though, as the council generally needs to catch the offender in action ("not my stuff on the footpath guv"). Unless the law changes, it seems like a bad idea to dump something on the kerb, then post proof of your actions to a website. Councils will potentially view Curbit as an evidence collection service, rather than a recycling service.

Can anyone from Curbit confirm whether this will be an issue? It might be as simple as telling people to put the items in their front yard, rather than on the footpath.
> The Start screen itself was designed to look simplistic, but using it was anything but. Microsoft shipped the first version with the built-in apps pinned by default, but no quick access to search or shutdown options

I never had issues because the standard procedure for me is "hit windows key" "start typing" and it behaved the exact same in windows 8. If you were on the start screen, you could start typing to search, which is easy, and the QUICKEST access you could ask for, but unintuitive for normal users to start typing with no prompt.

Ctrl-Alt-Delete logouts/shutdowns is what I feel like theyve always wanted people to do (for security reasons? no idea). But then again, how often do I shutdown my computer. If something needs me to reboot, theres almost always a prompt.

I imagine that classifies me as a power user. Not minding to do things the "right" way and not needing prompts to guide me along.

I haven't used windows 10 yet, but I get the vibe that everyone loves it again, because they made the start menu not fullscreen and added some simple prompts to gain access to the functionality that was already there.
You picked an especially bad pattern for your proof. Iterators aren't inherently functional. In the imperative world they needlessly maintain state and are by nature one giant side effect. Data abstraction doesn't even require an iterator "pattern" to achieve iteration, that's the whole point of data abstraction that a "pattern" isn't required but merely a "concept". In Clojure, for example, the concept is a sequence which has stateless traversal. That paper you quote even makes the distinction between the separate approaches taken from functional versus imperative.

Given the current supply constraints in that market, it will take a very long time to build up a level of inventory that will cause a crash. The solution to the problem you're describing is more units, not less.

Also, this transition in real estate's role is a result of globalization. Without some kind of capital controls it's very hard to undo it's effects. Your best bet is a supply-demand oriented solution.

The problem with MVC is that there is no clear definition of what it is, and so what you're left with is people who are putting code in the View, code in the Model and code in the Controller. Then, go try and debug that. You wind up having to logging basename(__FILE__) to understand what file is responsible for what. It is a nightmare for debugging. Then you have to to talk about the elephant in the room -- performance. Performance using MVC frameworks is orders of magnitude slower than using straight procedural or functional development. It should not take a rocket scientist to understand that calling a function directly is faster than instantiating an object and then abstracting an abstraction from an abstraction from abstraction just to return a result. I dont know why people do it, but I find myself cleaning up the mess more often than not. You cannot convince me that a 10x decrease in performance and a 10x increase in code complexity is a good thing.

There are lots of ways to implement LVT in different countries and different states (and it could even be implemented at even more local levels).

I have a softspot for methods that ask the owner themselves to value the land, but apply mechanism to keep them honest. (Like, `you have to sell at the declared value to any comer.') But honestly, those are probably not even the most practical ones.
"Only one of the great cinematic costume designers would come to the awards dressed like a bag lady.

So lets break that down.

The subject is a "cinematic costume designer" According to Sir Fry, she is a great one at that.

Then we have the other part of the statement: "She came to the awards dressed as a bag lady." This part of the statement is a bit odd/stands out when compared to a group of rather posh individuals.

When you put both parts of this together you have a really positive reference by Mr. Fry then combined with an odd/"less flattering" situation. It's ironic.

This structure matches a classic setup/punchline structure of a joke: http://www.creatingacomic.com/2009/how-to-write-a-joke-joke-...

What make this even funnier and more congratulating is: She's a costume designer. Maybe this was intended. At the end of the day Stephen Fry was pictured with the individual and there have been claims that there is no bad blood between the two.

This is a red herring. It doesn't matter if it was marked or not. It is up to the sender to take the precaution. That there are now thousands of emails marked after the fact as classified, wouldn't that tell you the assumption should have been made to err on the side of caution, and assume most everything you are discussing has high probability to be classified information?

And using your own insecure personal server for these emails essentially guarantees that it's been hacked by.. China, Russia, take your pick.

In fact there is a term called "born-classified" which applies to information about foreign governments provided by foreign sources. Here's some evidence:

Thank you for your lengthy reply. I'm a CS student and usually attend meetups and workshops, mostly related to startups and entrepreneurship. Nearly everyone there introduces themselves with their names and twitter handles. I have heard this "advice" again and again that if you want to make connections, get active on twitter. How true is it? Is twitter really the place to get in touch with people more so than Facebook?
npm only works well for Windows if the program you're distributing is itself in JavaScript using Node. If you're using npm to distribute a shell script, then you still need a Unixy environment for Windows like Cygwin or MSYS, and in that case, autotools is probably no worse.

Word vectors are really intriguing to me, and I have a few questions:

If you also trained a model on a different news aggregator's comments, would it be possible to "match up" the meaning vector spaces and see differences in what meanings each community ascribes to words?

Additionally, could you determine sentiments from the positions of the words in the meaning space?
One example, looking for underlying assumptions, like associations of the words 'black person' and 'criminal'. Or idk, man + sex = player, but woman + sex = slut.

Would it be possible to go higher level and see how much a corpus agrees with "free markets are good" based on its word positions?

It seems like word2vec has the potential to bring Sapir-Whorf to a whole new level.
GraphQL itself has no position on any of those things, it's out of scope and up to the developer to handle.

You can return null if someone requests an object they're not allowed to access, or return an error, or whatever it is that you're currently doing.

I've been playing around with GraphQL, and my approach has just been to include a permissions object for the actions a user can take on the resource:

{ permissions: { destroy: false, update: true, ... } }

You SHOULD be checking permissions on each node and edge, but the details are entirely in your hands.

But it would have been so easy to extend AIM and MSN Messenger to the mobile realm and carry along their hundreds of millions of users. If they had mounted even a half-assed attempt at a trivial cost to their overall budgets they would have been unstoppable due to the network effect. The only way they could have failed is if they didn't try a mobile version at all -- that's the part I find so surprising.

If what the campaign says is true, then it sounds to me like a technicality. It seems to me implausible that 22 emails containing intel of the most secret sort had that intel classified after the fact (http://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/jan/20/hillary-clint...).

FROM: Important Official
TO: Hillary Clinton

MESSAGE: Info you requested - JFK is still alive. He wants to meet you soon. Also, aliens. Lots of them.

In that ridiculous example, it seems like the Sec of State isn't thinking to herself, "I hope they don't classify this info later."

It's the official's responsibility to know what is and what isn't classified whether it is "marked". As a lawyer (and a Clinton!), she would certainly be parsing her words carefully.
Heh, I'm not saying I agree, but I'm tickled that you said this.

Perhaps another way of doing this is calling the method .within?
>frequently change without notice

Unless you are doing something so spectacularly, mind-blowingly irresponsible in your dependency management that changes just come in of their own accord (i.e. Go's defaults), no they don't. They change when you choose to vendor the new version or change the pinned version number.

It's true that your dependencies won't get security updates until you decide to upgrade, but other people are certainly not writing security updates for your in-house code.

You should care about the code quality of the 3rd party libraries you use, with the understanding that you might one day take over maintenance of them, at least for internal purposes. That's still not a reason to duplicate effort.
