StackShare | Remote OK (SF, US, Canada) | Full-time

StackShare helps you discover and compare software tools- we’re building a platform for developer knowledge.

From Airbnb to Dropbox, to individual developers and CTOs, StackShare has become the defacto place for companies and engineers to share the software they use and why. But we're just scratching the surface- we believe we have an opportunity to fundamentally change the way that software is built- by creating a network of developers that share knowledge about how they're building software. Whether you're building a new mobile app, automating infrastructure, or just researching best practices, StackShare will be your compass.

We're looking for engineers and evangelists that are already part of the StackShare community, are excited about our vision and want to be a part of shaping it! We’re accepting local candidates (SF) as well as remote candidates based in the US or Canada.

Stack:

A stab in the jugular will get the job done.

But of course you can break the plastic knife and fork they give you and still stab someone in the jugular.

You could even sharpen the headphones connector.
Wow, you got an actual person on the phone? You got further than me when I tried to get back the $200 they stole from me due to "suspicious activity". I gave up trying to collect it after spending a bunch of time on it.

They did eventually return it, more than a year later, with no explanation. Just suddenly my account balance increased. No interest payments for the time it was stolen though.
I wonder if it would be possible to ramp down like 10% in calories one year at a time instead of binge dieting like this. We are always looking for quick fixes.
It's a fair point, honestly Lyft or whoever should be doing this themselves. If they just listed competing prices (heck, even link out to the other apps) that would be a strong reason to use their app as your default.
How does the antics of some developers influence the credibility of a system they are one of many contributors to?

You can claim that Bitcoin is going down the toilet all you like, but by all metrics relevant to its purpose (namely value and popularity) it's doing extremely well.

Perhaps your mistake is that you only notice when something that could be construed as negative happens around Bitcoin. Such things are usually more entertaining than the relatively mundane improvements and victories that occur on a regular basis.
So, tl;dr: "I'm breaking YouTube TOS, so my app was rejected by Google (who owns YouTube). I feel like my app should be let through anyways, because others broke the rules and got through."

I think you should move on and accept that your app won't be approved. Submit it to other App stores, if you're so inclined.
It's supposed to go up at 11 AM Eastern, and I believe did.
I always have this thought with any kind of gene splicing activity:

"Let's change this very, very large, very, very old system that we don't really understand by just tweaking this one value that we're pretty sure does X ... and put it back into production. What could possibly go wrong?"
I think this situation nicely juxtaposes positive externality with private rights.

As an individual, you may wish to hoard all of your personal medical information. Doing so may provide marginal benefit or protection against some theoretical harms. However, much of medical science relies on large population studies. Is knee surgery worth it? Are breast exams? Do COX-2 inhibitors increase heart attacks? Enormous amounts of good could be done by having large datasets of entire patient histories available for analysis by all, assuming they could not be de-anonymized (if not, then the datasets have to be analyzed under contracts)

Whenever I visit the doctor and I am given a form asking if my data can be sent to some group to participate in a study, I always answer yes. Never once have I had any negative repercussions from doing so, and it is my hope that the data was used to publish scientific papers that added to net knowledge of humanity. However, I have to wonder if asking me for permission actually interferes with random sampling. Are people who give permission vs people who refuse statistically more likely to have other behaviors that may influence the results?
Around here (my physical locale), calling someone a 2-3 veteran is a colloquial term. It just means that the person has some experience.

Edited.
Same--when you work for a large company you see that a ton of development is about large companies cutting cost through automation. Its unfortunate to be a hatchet man, but that work always exists in economical downtime.
Oh come on now, despite being a Trump supporter I find it 9/10 crude and tasteless.
isn't that what they did in brussels?
Paper is behind the Springer paywall for me… Is there an Arxiv link or something?
Similar arguments apply to spacecraft. The processors and other IT tech are usually far behind consumer gear. This is party due to the radiation hardening required, but also the lack of a real requirement for the latest-and-greatest.
Aren't we happier and wealthier since the WTO exists?

1) If the consumption of mood-altering prescription drugs is any indicator, then indeed, we are not happier.

2) Correlation is not causation.
Gavin also announced on stage on Consensus 2016 that he hadn't been hacked: https://twitter.com/BTCTN/status/727145824510058496

So, one would expect his commit access to be restored. Unless, of course, if "We think he was hacked" was actually an excuse rather than a reason.
While it certainly is more efficient to automate those employees away, in my experience they are rarely assigned to new work, they are simply let go. Whether or not that's good or bad morally or for the economy I won't speculate on.

Most companies are actually quite overstaffed for various reasons, freeing up X employees in department Y doesn't mean they slide over to department Z, Z already has more than enough employees usually.
Some of the documents are missing. Among them is the other documents that will be relevant to HN readers: e-commerce and the Copyright and Intellectual Property.

From the FAQ:

4. Are the documents complete?

All of the documents in possession of Greenpeace Netherlands are complete.

The documents represent a substantial part of the negotiating texts, 13 of 17 chapters believed to have reached the consolidation phase of negotiations.

Chapters believed to be in the consolidation phase, but not in possession of Greenpeace Netherlands, are those concerning __e-commerce__, financial services, rules of origin and trade remedies.

Chapters which are not yet believed to have reached the consolidation phase, also not in possession of Greenpeace Netherlands, are those covering: energy and raw materials, investment protection, __intellectual property__ rights, legal and institutional issues, subsidies, sustainable development, textiles and apparel, and other sectors.
Because the attitude of some of the more hardcore Bitcoin people is a holier than thou, "We're the only ones who REALLY know about money and currency and financial policy. You idiots with fiat money don't know anything!" persecution complex which is really annoying.

As an expert in machine learning, I don't see how someone would expect this to work. Actually to predict a disease, you need true positives and true negatives. If you only had access to the true positive data, it would be a lot harder to predict accurately.
I don't think GDP/capita is enough, since it is taking an average of a highly skewed distribution. We really need something closer to a median: How about inflation-adjusted median income? Or perhaps inflation-adjusted median income after housing.
A little odd, but... I'm interested. Drop me a line at _@lj3.me
You can see that process in action on metafilter.com. There, terms like "treating people with respect" are basically euphemisms for a continually narrowing set of opinions-treated-as-fact. You can't go against them without being dog-piled and probably banned (more or less for the reaction your disagreement caused in others).

That hasn't happened to me, but I've seen it happen enough to not want to bother.
About me: I'm a strong intermediate developer looking for new challenges. I have experience with both and JavaScript and C++.

Yes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glycemic_index:

"The GI represents the total rise in a person's blood sugar level following consumption of the food; it may or may not represent the rapidity of the rise in blood sugar. The steepness of the rise can be influenced by a number of other factors, such as the quantity of fat eaten with the food."

But only "related to". GI is complicated. The whole blood sugar thing is complicated. I don't just mean in principle, I mean in practice, too. Measuring your own body's own reactions to foods may be the most practical route to go; reading that page leads one to the conclusion that any concrete numbers for GI you ever see are at best weak approximations even under the best of circumstances.

Which is a pity, seeing as how it seems like it would be very useful.
From my experience, no paperwork is needed for remote contractors - I just send PDF invoices at the end of the month and that's it... Money is transferred through bank/wire. I've had clients from USA, several European countries, Asia, ...

So I don't think Swiss laws are much more strict (e.g. compared to USA) regarding buying services from remote companies/consultants.

Artistic style transfer for videos [video]
Also in French:
sensible (en) - raisonnable (fr)
sensitive (en) - sensible (fr)
In the same vein, it seems to me that TTP and TTIP are one thing just sliced up geographically to make it appear less big, less of a one-stop solution for screwing the world.
When in reality, these two "agreements" are giving western (though mostly american) companies far more power than they could possibly handle sensibly, seeing as they are already fucking up left and right in terms of, dunno, human rights, maybe (or just some basic decency).
Paper here: http://arxiv.org/pdf/1604.08610v1.pdf, and possibly a better video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Khuj4ASldmU&feature=youtu.be
Yeah, I'm trying to lose weight like that so I hope so. People say doing some weights to keep up muscle mass helps and it probably does though there doesn't seem much good data on how much does what.

Their doesn't need to be pushback. Every country that has an income tax taxes its residents, whether or not they are citizens.
With bitcoin, the election cycle is always happening. Every single block miners decide which rules they want to enforce, and which proposals they want to signal support for. You want to support 2 MB blocks? Run Bitcoin Classic, or point your mining software toward a pool that supports it. You want to support segwit? Run Core 0.12.1. Ultimately, the market decides what becomes of bitcoin, not some unaccountable, unelected bureaucrat.

Also, with bitcoin, all interaction is completely voluntary. There are no legal tender laws or taxation propping up the value of the currency.

> So, in this case, I welcome the failure.

I wouldn't hold your breath. Bitcoin has been through many incidents that are far worse than this, and it's only come out stronger for it.
I'd go one step further and claim that good papers from reputable researchers (in our sub-fields, at least) are all freely available on the authors' websites. There's loads of shady journals behind paywalls that publish low-quality content, but the good stuff that research-active folks in academia use and refer to always seem to be available (N=1 anecdote over ~10 years of being in research). Again, this may be highly CS-specific; don't know how things work in other fields.
"Being able to change one's vote at any time regarding any issue seems preferable to everyone sitting powerless for four years at a time in between scheduled elections"

I'm not even addressing what the OP was telling you, that you don't vote and that the "votes" are all in the hands of a few people.

But, even if everyone was entitled to a vote, being able to change it anytime they like would make a for a very, very poor government system.

I can only imagine, 1st long term project the government had that didn't give you short term profit you would change your vote.

P.S.: Interestingly enough is exactly what is happening in Bitcoin right now: long term sustainability calls for changes to the block size, but short term profit calls for it to remain the same, so the few miners that control the network just go for the short term profit.

This is very specific to 2D data. I bet the story is a lot different for high-dimensional data. The challenges you encounter with this sort of clumping in 2D is unlikely to occur in high-dimensional data due to the "curse" of dimensionality. Clustering in high dimensions has its own quirks and gotchas too, but they're quite distinct from the gotchas of low-dimensionality.

Here's more from an actual expert: http://research.microsoft.com/en-US/people/kannan/book-chapt...
Not on facebook.
Driverless cars don't exist and there's literally zero evidence that Uber has a stronger claim on that market than any other aspiring company.

Engineering for an app like this is non-trivial but hardly insurmountable.

The one advantage they do have is network effect, the more drivers and users they have the quicker it is to get a ride and more lucrative for drivers. That does matter, the question is how much.
Please don't.

Arachnys | Frontend, backend and data engineers | London, New York

We help organisations from banks to charities solve their compliance problems, focussing on AML/KYC checks and deeper investigative dives - for instance, our software was used by the ICIJ to dig into the Panama Papers. Think big Hadoop clusters sucking in feeds from thousands of sources in over 100 languages and making sense of it.

Lots of the clever things we do are in-house, but we also participate in open source: see https://github.com/arachnys/athenapdf and https://github.com/arachnys/cabot for side projects that have got lots of community traction.

Libraries using log.Printf are incredibly tough to work with in a production environment if you want anything more interesting than looking at stderr. Libraries that let you provide a logger API at time of construction are better than log.Printf, but they still fail at letting you include contextual information inside method calls.

We inject a logging interface into all our methods that take a context.Context object [1]. This allows us to push contextual information onto the stack of context objects, and then when we log we can do it at the point of failure and have access to an immense amount of useful information. Check the attached gist to see an example of how this works in practice [2].

Given that the context library originated out of Google and is now part of the stdlib in 1.7, I would love to see other libraries embrace it instead of relying on much less flexible solutions.

The F-22 is not for export because we want to make sure we can shoot down the f35s we do export.
Could I ask you how old you are? I know at a younger age, it was much easier for me to maintain a healthy weight like you but now it is a much more challenge. Some of it is due to my level of activity (work, driving, exercise) but I think some of it just comes with age.
My point is that a warrant allowing seizure of evidence does not transfer legal ownership to the the FBI. If the county owned the phone, then fine. It remained the county's, not the FBI's, regardless of any investigative warrants.

SEEKING WORK - Remote or North Carolina (NC)

Location: Charlotte, NC

Full-stack software engineer and data scientist, over 20 years experience with both code and databases, and extensive research experience in data analysis/integration projects. Contact info found in my profile.

I'm primarily a backend Go developer nowadays (3+ years full-time experience), lots of experience with Python also (5+ years full-time), but I also do C/C++, Java (and Android), Obj-C/Swift (iOS/OSX apps) and PHP begrudgingly. Data/analysis tasks I generally stick to SQL, R and other standard tools.

I've been writing code for nearly 20 years now, with lots of experience debugging and cleaning up messy integrations. I'm happy to help whatever your situation.

---

I have a good friend recently part of the mass IBM layoff with substantial (+17y) Informix expertise who can help with any kind of database design and performance issues. He is willing to come on site as necessary.
Looks at spectral clustering. Spectral methods usually take the distances between points to generate a graph, then operate directly on that graph. If you already have a graph/network, you can use those methods directly on it.
