On the off-chance they're doing that because your performance is abysmal and you haven't improved enough from their informal intervention, if in PIP you managed to finally recover your performance, maybe they will let you stay a bit longer.
Almost certainly not.

Your references support my statements...

"However, evidence exists showing a greater abuse liability, greater propensity for dependence, and more severe consequences when cocaine is smoked (cocaine-base) or injected intravenously (cocaine hydrochloride) compared with intranasal use (cocaine hydrochloride).)."

The fact that the effects are different, even with the "same drug".

> the reason that black communities felt the impact of violent drug crime and white communities didn't is itself a direct effect of the racial power structures involved.

Except no matter where you go in the world, no matter its racial break-down, and no matter what it's history is, the pattern is the same: blacks disproportionately commit violent acts. And when those places are near 100% black, it gets even worse.

> And intravenous or subcutaneous use of crack cocaine and powder cocaine are literally, 100% identical.

We are comparing powder cocaine insufflated with crack smoked and how that impacted black communities.

My guess is that this is part of the incentive to do this on the other side of the world.

While we're hearing about it happening, we aren't getting specifics about particular people because it's just one or two people living ostentatiously it's a small herd. In a way it's less chance of publicity blowing back on your family in China than flaunting your wealth in Beijing.
I'm not sure how I feel about the verdict (freedom of speech vs privacy), but I'm really happy that the media sexist bias was exposed.

Actually, a counter example of this is when the City of Pittsburgh rolled out kiosks to accept credit cards. In the 2011 fiscal year, the Parking Authority earned $7.1 million from its metered parking spaces.

Hey Sam, where do I apply for YC basic income? : ) Many people have no problems in life except those related to not having enough dough.

I know a number of really creative/talented individuals who would be a lot better off if they didn't struggle to feed/house themselves. People who contribute to open source, build art projects and love to share knowledge. Definite contributors to society and the betterment of their fellow man.

Have you ever considered just letting people to apply for YC for a few years of basic income. The individuals that I'm thinking of would contribute more to society if given basic income than in any other situation I can imagine. (Many of them bay area locals, if you want to interview a few in person). Driven to create but stifled by various real and/or self imposed restrictions.
Ok great, thanks for clarifying!
It's really amazing that there are businesses who collect a lot of data, spend most of their time transforming and loading it - then do nothing with it. Nothing effective at any rate.

I'm genuinely curious - to analyse data effectively, is there a baseline of statistical understanding you need to have? If so, what is it?
Abstractions aren't merely for duplication removal. Abstractions are for symbolic chunking; for thinking about things at different levels.

We don't use e.g. units-of-measure types [1] because they remove duplication from our code; if anything, they add duplication. They do however clarify our thinking with help from the type checker.

I think a lot in terms of flows / pipes / functional transforms. So I tend to try and express problems in that shape, because I have a lot of mental tools that I can apply, and I know they're extremely easy to test in isolation. Creating a pipe-like thing means reducing it to a simple common push or pull stream pattern. But it's not duplication I'm removing here; I'm actively introducing an abstraction because it has proven power for creating good software and solving problems.

I try and create few, minimal abstractions that can be applied widely. Take a cue from functional languages and split out types from algorithms; if you make your types more general, you increase the reusability of your algorithms. Classical OO design tends to create a lot of types that are specific to the domain model. I happen to think that OO designs are usually poor; they tend to have a high code complexity to implemented logic ratio, and require awkward composition that leaves details hanging out.

I spent 20 years writing OO software and was a big fan, especially in the early 2000s. I still work in OO languages, but most OO code I read makes me wretch now.

I don't recognize either Kent Beck or Bob Martin as particularly noteworthy for good architectural design (Beck is on the right path with agile though). In fact, I blame TDD for Java-itis: proliferation of single-implementation interfaces (has there ever been a worse idea more often propagated by cargo culters?), poorly abstracted object graphs, leaky implementation abstractions, and more.

> Start with what you know, and work toward what you don't know

I've been programming for more than 25 years. A lot of stuff has changed in that time; what hasn't changed is patterns of abstraction. So I start out with abstractions, chosen from experience.

Read Norvig on TDD [2] - his experience matches mine. If you know a lot of software tools (i.e. abstractions, algorithms, approaches), you can apply them to a problem. TDD is a poor tool for creating new tools, though. And if you rely on code duplication for creating a tool, well, you're going to have a bad time with hard problems.

Sure. It's not a guarantee. But personally, I think if you get a PIP, your best next move is to start applying for other jobs.
Ha!

I was born and grew up in Benin City!!

In summary, the city definitely exist but we have refused to maintain our historical artifacts. Although it is easy to blame the "evil British" , I think we back home can do better to preserve historical stuff.

But the British really messed up a lot of places. But after a while we have to take responsibility.

It's really cool to discuss where I grew up in a global platform though.

We're painting in broad strokes as there are exceptions to every trend. But in my experience, bootcamp graduates are more like tinkerers and university graduates are more like engineers.

Most bootcamps don't cover computational complexity, for example. Or functional programming, or objected oriented design, or music or ethics or philosophy. Instead, most bootcamps focus on tools rather than ideas.
> Except no matter where you go in the world, no matter its racial break-down, and no matter what it's history is, the pattern is the same: blacks disproportionately commit violent acts.

This was literally the funniest thing that I've read on HN so far. Took me a few minutes to stop laughing.

Reminded me of the time Russell tried to reduce all language to logic, only to be thwarted by a rebellious twenty-something Austrian who claimed that all logic was tautology.

So I think if those teens were really that rebellious then they might try something similar with my social-calculus.

But still, it sounds like a fun exercise. "What are the primitive elements of a social interaction?" Hmmm :)
My wording probably could've been better, but the point still stands: you have legal protection from government overreach thanks to a court decision in favor of a rotten defendant. There are plenty of other examples throughout history if that one is not convincing.
Um, the PBS link you posted states Cuba had a very troubled history, with a complex history of assassinated leaders, repression, inequality, illiteracy, and widespread corruption. Finally there's Batista, who after an initially progressive government, ended up conducting a coup d'etat which "destroyed the democratic republic he had brought into existence" [sic].

Whether the right next step was Communism or not, the country at that point was an unmitigated disaster.

The article from the conservative National Review is, like you say, biased. There is truth to it and there is opinion.

That commission isn't just advisory like many (most?) UN bodies. It holds full power to schedule and deschedule controlled substances under the major drug treaties, and member nations (which include practically every country) are obligated to conform national law to the treaty schedules.

We'll see just how strong those treaties are. When the US led the drug war this was how we forced the rest of the world along. Can Russia, China, etc. do the same?

I agree. But then I see problems on this planet that cannot be solved locally.

And.. How flawed it's implementations until now may have been, I still believe in democracy as the best possible option. The "ledger tech" you mention is what could be used to keep the democracy direct (instead of representative). The thought of a world wide digital referendum on some issue, with proper cryptographic underpinnings, this makes sense to me.

I think the UN is somehow a step towards a one-world-gov't as OK'ed by the "most powerful"; they like the nations as that where they have their power vested, so the UN will protect their interests in the end.

The "United People", as I proposed, should actually reduce their power and put in the hands of the people.

Bollea's "porn" wasn't "stolen". It was created without his knowledge and circulated by the person who created it, which is how it leaked.

That doesn't remotely describe what happened to the women whose pictures were published a few years back.

It's a little disquieting to read a comment that suggests there might have been a free speech angle to the latter story. Bollea's case might (in fact, probably will) be reversed on appeal.

You need to be much more clear. The Republic of China's official policy is they are part of China, the geographical/historical/cultural entity. They have never said they are a part of the People's Republic of China. That is the agreement worked out between US, the PRC, and the ROC (note you said it was worked out between US, China, and Taiwan, which is inaccurate).

This may seem overly pedantic, but it is not. This wording is the entire backbone of the delicate geopolitical dance that underlies the status quo we have today.
Absolutely. We work with the current infrastructure. This means the coin based meters, or kiosks, etc.

Our goal is to keep their costs down, by integrating with whatever they have.

They settled the lawsuit with nautilus from what I understand. The link is from Google News so you can see the whole article.

https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=newss...

"he website claimed that along with Chubb Insurance Co., it had agreed to forgo $600,000 in defense costs in exchange for Nautilus’ agreement to defend it from July 2013 onward. In a motion for summary judgment filed in October 2014, Nautilus said that its policy only covered “accidents,” and said that Gawker’s intentional release of the tape and its accompanying story didn’t qualify. Gawker responded with a cross-motion for summary judgment in November, arguing that its policy covered damages from bodily injury, which “indisputably include emotional distress and mental anguish” under New York law. Friday’s settlement put an end to those competing motions."

I've done quite a few BI/DWH projects and what I found is that the best approach is to begin from deep prototyping done by data analysts and ETL developers together. It may all start with just a few spreadsheets and a simple dashboard. After many iterations and a lot of brainstorming it grows into a rather developed working prototype that the both sides have equally contributed to. Then the prototype is productionized by the engineers using standard ETL/whatever tools. So everybody gets the credit, and everybody is motivated. This experience made me create EasyMorph [1] -- a tool for quick ETL prototyping and brainstorming. It's like Excel but for tables, and it's equally suitable for data scientists and developers.

Stop mixing "China" with the "People's Republic of China." Taiwan has only claimed to be a part of "China." But never the "People's Republic of China."

Mixing the two terms might seem pedantic, but it is not, it's the whole reason for the status quo. The PRC is satisfied that the ROC says they're a part of China. The ROC is satisfied that they're not saying they're a part of the PRC.
