skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
The examples are all in 2D because it allows someone to visualise what's going on. In higher dimensions things get messier and you have to rely on cluster quality measures ... which are often bad (or, more often, defined to be the objective function that a particular clustering algorithm optimizes, and hence give a false sense of how "well" the clustering has done). I've worked with HDBSCAN quite successfully on mid-range dimensionality data (50 to 100 dimensions). I agree that it doesn't work as well on truly high dimensional data, but then little can once the curse of dimensionality truly kicks in. Your best bet, at that point, is the assume that your data actually lies on some lower dimensional manifold (i.e. the intrinsic dimensionality is much lower) and apply suitable dimension reduction techniques (t-SNE, Robust PCA, etc.) and then cluster.
(a) It means he's got a few hundred million dollars stashed away in BitCoin.

(b) He can then claim priority as benevolent dictator for life, with a reasonably good chance that the community will follow him. For example, he could probably fork BitCoin to have more frequent transactions and larger block sizes, and his fork would hit a critical mass of users to the point where the BitCoin Core group would have to accept those changes or else risk a blockchain split which could kill the currency altogether.
I'm not interested in applying, but very curious as to what kind of work sample you might have for a systems profile. Is it okay to 'apply' just for the sample?
Yeah, because the Opium Wars of 1800s never happened or something.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Opium_War

Your ignorance of history is outstanding and on display. Whatever the TTIP is, it is most certainly not a secret agreement to allow Opium into the Chinese economy to wreak the common people.

We are better and more civilized people today than we were back then. Period.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trail_of_Tears

Afghanistan was always an awful place:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Anglo-Afghan_War

And there are certainly fewer outright rebellions like the Boxer Rebellion going on: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boxer_Rebellion

Of course, Imperialism doesn't actually happen anymore. We don't go to war on 100% false pretenses (yeah, WMDs were bad, but "Remember the Maine to Hell with Spain" was significantly worse)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spanish%E2%80%93American_War

The reasoning of the 1900s was that "War is good. Social Darwinism at its finest". Survival of the fittest, lets fight. World War 1 was fought not out of necessity, but out of curiosity. We had new weapons, and we wanted to use them on each other. It was finally time for the great Powers of the World to compete in the glory of War.

We are a hell of a lot more peaceful today. No country actually has the appetite for the amount of warrant-less killing that Imperialism creates. We actually are connected to every other country in the world and care about the citizens of other countries.

In the late 1800s, we didn't even give a damn about the natives of our own country, or Black people, or even Women. (See Jim Crow laws).

Can I Call 911 If Piper Detects a Break-In and I'm Out of Town?
I used to have a program with an embedded Lua interpreter where I sometimes needed to switch back and forth between C++ and Lua. It's insane. Arrays don't start at zero, you create blocks with keywords and then there are some minor annoyances like != being ~= or the lack of a ternary operator. Where Lua really shines though is the binding api. It's really easy to use when you have to do something by hand. The documentation is great and you have a selection of binding tools. You can even create classes with overridable virtual methods.

Since Lua is rather tedious to use for me, I looked for alternatives with a C-like syntax. I found Squirrel and Wren but the last time I looked they lacked the tooling and mailing lists that Lua already has. It's a bit of a chicken-egg problem unfortunately.
I run into it infrequently (in particular, kibwen's example), but it's like a mosquito bite. "Oh, yeah, that sucks. Ah well, it's not going to stop me from doing what I was going to do anyway." It's definitely a little weird to hear it's preventing someone from using the language, so I too would like to hear more.
Yet Another “Modern Retro” Computer – FPGA-Based ZX-Spectrum
Because the time on that particular job is not the only thing the company is paying for (with interns/co-ops). In fact, it's usually not the primary thing.

It's pretty rare that intern positions make sense in a strict dollar for time sense, you are better off thinking of them as an investment in the future. Accordingly, the pay rate is not directly and easily comparably to most jobs.
> The government

In this case the government would be the Department of Health. They've had no involvement with this.

"The NHS" would be NHS England, and they didn't set this up, although they might sta.rt being involved to check the controls.

The local NHS, the Clinical Commissioning Group, didn't set this up.

So we're talking about one hospital trust
"Should you exercise an option, you will need to pay taxes on the spread (delta of strike price and current FMV, i.e. latest 409A valuation)."

This isn't really true with ISOs (hence the point of them).
You may get an AMT gain which is ugly, but you don't owe regular taxes on the spread unlike Non-Quals where you would.
No, you actually have it very wrong. George W. Bush was not a 'smaller government' president. It was the grassroots conservative reaction to the GWB administration's "progressive" Republican administration that leads you to even think of the modern GOP as the 'smaller government' party in the first place.
I don't think that really makes sense because biological systems are constantly being recombined naturally. You're not introducing anything new, just creating a new combination. Every act of sexual reproduction is "tweaking" on two existing models in production that "work" as is.

It's more akin to putting out a new library or programming language (designed thing) into the internet (complex ecosystem).
This is like the time I asked someone on Reddit what they meant by funding education "fully." They said, "double." So... we'd be a world leader in primary and secondary education again if we just spent twice what we currently do? Well, I guess it was an answer.

There are 2 kinds of people: those who think that more money will somehow fix everything (them), and those that think more money will only exacerbate the problems that have brought us to the current point of the debate (me). As a matter of fact, as I write this, I think that may be the single most significant distinction between "conservativism" and "liberalism," as practiced in the US.
The last point is important. Many people claim that muscle turns into fat if not exercised for maintanence. This obviously isn't true. What is interesting is where that idea may come from: the habit of eating a larger amount of calories to power a huge masses of muscle that doesn't entirely go away along with the muscle without conscious planning.

At this point (indeed, long ago) your behavior has simply become illustrative of how to poorly carry out an argument, much less a constructive conversation. In an amusing irony, your behavior is an extreme parody of the exact inflexibility you claim to be so incensed about. You are lost in a childish authoritarian fantasy, and I regret that for you.

I expect this is casting pearls before swine, but your proposal is not simply harsh on violent crime as you so boldly attempt to claim. What you allege is a compromise does not allow non-criminal uses of firearms without imposing harsh penalties on those uses. Your proposal is as radical as someone on the other end of the firearm use spectrum insisting that individuals found guilty of not having shot a criminal in the past 30 days are guilty of "being soft on crime", which carries a penalty of lifetime (or at least 50 years') imprisonment.

Your proposal remains a wild, masturbatory fantasy with cherry-picked examples from pop culture knowledge of other countries' gun control laws without even understanding them and their actual implementations. Further to that point, you also still have yet to even explain why your proposal is anything but an amusingly dismal attempt at parroting a tired, predictable talking point about how gun control in "other countries" works. Disappointingly, that was abandoned the moment I showed actual working knowledge in that space.

Go ahead, let's see what random single phrase you decide to object to out of this large set. We've already abandoned a large part of the conversation behind us, you're just amusing at this point.

Have you discussed this with a laywer?

The problem is, as you reverse-engineer Skype and release source code that is meant to be liberally licensed, it still could be that the code would be practically unusable, due to possible legal issues.

IANAL, but from my understanding of the law, this is even a gray area in Russia (local RE laws restrict on what you can do with the obtained knowledge, and the law's wording feels pretty vague to me), and even if legal here, an US or EU court may have a different idea.

Maybe that's not true and I'm just over-cautious, but... well... there's clean-room reverse engineering (where one engineer analyzes the product and writes comprehensive documentation suite and another, completely unrelated person, reads the documentation and writes actual code) for a reason.

Yes but I believe you can (eventually) get the AMT difference back in offsets assuming there are later years when you are below the AMT limit. Fiendishly complicated and increasingly dumb though ...

OMG the narcissistic self-biography of an egomaniac. Doesn't this guy live in a rental property?
Yes, definitely. But from a certain point of view, almost nothing is unambiguously true, right? You have to set a bar, and accept anything below that bar as a fundamental assumption that you take on faith. And if your bar is so low that other people might not be conscious, then you know, maybe nothing is real. You definitely can't believe in the existence of anything you haven't seen with your own eyes.

I know nobody here actually believes in p-zombies, I'm just making a point in response to the original comment that it's totally reasonable to be sure that other humans are conscious, and not sure that animals are. Those positions are consistent if you're operating with a usable definition of evidence and truth. It's philosophically possible that other people are zombies, but it's practically possible that some animals are zombies.

It's hard to see how you can have much success with this method. Current recruiting strategies involve getting from recruiter telephone call to final decision within 2 weeks, or 1 if possible. The faster you move on a candidate the more likely they end up working for you. At my current employer initial phone conversation, telephone interview and on site were all within 7 days.

I think what's interesting is they're forcing her to verify that it is in fact her phone or that she had access to it. Now, in the case of a phone it likely wouldn't be hard to prove that other ways, but what if it was an otherwise unidentifiable device? It would force her to effectively testify she owned it when the police might otherwise not be able to prove that.

First time ever. I had an eating disorder my whole life, which is how and why I gained up to 300lbs in the first place.

I no longer have the mental issues that caused me to turn to food for comfort, which is what I credit my successful weight loss to. And again, I lost the first 75lbs or so just through recovering from my eating disorder and not through dieting or changing anything about what I ate other than no longer turning to food for comfort and not listening to the binge urges my brain was sending out.

Eventually you figure you have it handled, relax and then two years goes by and you are heavier than when you started.

Having maintained within +/- 3 lbs for the entirety of 2015 I'm not worried about this in the slightest. Even though at that time I was not actively trying to lose weight, I still weighed myself every week and took measurements every month, as well as continued to exercise regularly (and even learned how to ride a bike!) I also maintained vigilance for ED-type thoughts and identified them quickly if I began relapsing. I absolutely adjusted my eating if I gained more than 2 pounds in a week or when I knew I'd been letting my vigilance slip. Still didn't count calories or anything, just mindfully ate smaller portions and stayed away from desserts for a while. It helped a lot that I have learned that if I eat sugary stuff more than two days in a row I start craving it badly and will eat it every single day unless I stop eating it entirely for at least two weeks.

I view my weight loss as the side effect of recovering from my unhealthy relationship with food. For me, that was bad enough that it was a full-blown eating disorder, but I absolutely believe that many people have an unhealthy relationship with food which causes weight gain that is impossible to reverse without first addressing the mental issues that got them to that weight in the first place. Take that and add in this new potential issue of the body wanting desperately to get back to the homeostasis it was at when the person was at their heaviest, and the rebounding of everyone who was on The Biggest Loser is no surprise.
It's too late to edit this comment but new information leads to yet another alternative explanation: Gavin (and others) actually did witness Craig sign a message with one of Satoshi's private keys, and "verify" it on a computer controlled by Craig. Shenanigans were involved that made the phony signature appear to verify. Gavin (and others) were deceived.
Even so, one who actually possessed that private key could sign a new message with it, and we could use the public key we know to verify that signature.
