As a German, I'm pretty sure most Germans have no idea who invented the computer or think it was someone in America.
My parents, and I think the same goes for many others, heard the name of this guy for the first time today, when newspapers and radio programs brought short articles about him.
One reason may be that, at least when I was in school, in computer science classes, no history about that field was taught at all.
Yes, but the technology they are researching (full autonomous) is still further down the road than something like highway autonomy only. Which would still give you most of the benefits of an autonomous car in boredom, accident and unproductive time reduction. While not requiring as expensive parts and as much research.

If you do a self-driving pod then it's another story because then you share the cost between passengers and you can engineer it to only go city speeds for instance.

What I'm essentially saying is that at the point Googles research becomes "a reality" the car becomes the weak part of the equation. When we have full autonomy, I might almost just take a train (that will probably always be much faster than cars because of physics) and catch another autonomous pod at the other station. This is of course what could/should happen in theory, not what will happen.
In 2015 Apple had ~234B in revenue. 10B is only 4.27% of that. If you look at the percentage of R&D vs sales that's still actually drastically less than they spent in R&D up until about 2005. It could just be that Apple has decided to spend a bit more percentage wise and they have expanded the amount of things they are researching instead of indicating a focus on one specific thing.
It sure seems like I hear about a lot more authoritarian nonsense like this in the east-coast (namely northeast) cities, and not nearly as much in the west-coast cities.

I found it odd how difficult it was to figure out what the company's products are: a CNG powered hybrid semi truck and an all terrain vehicle. (Not clear why its a UTV instead of an ATV).

UTV = Utility Task Vehicle

"UTVs differ from all-terrain vehicles (ATVs) in that UTVs typically have a side-by-side seating arrangement, many have seat belts and roll-over protection, and most have a cargo box at the rear of the vehicle. UTVs generally have a higher payload capability and are longer and wider than ATVs"[0]

Because I was leading to my point about citation networks and didn't want to bore you to death about theory names like causal theories of reference and semantic externalism in philosophy of language.
archive.org shows a date picker going back as far as 2002, but it is easy to pick a date from the drop down.
Colleges (even the poor ones) employ selection processes to ensure that only the best and most willing students be able to achieve completion at all. What the parent is suggesting is that those who are selected via those processes might also just happen to be the best suited for the business world, irrespective of their education.

For example, someone who has innate determination to receive a degree might also be determined to finish projects in the workplace, leading to better job opportunities over someone who is less innately determined. While someone with high determination and no degree may do just as well as any college graduate, since they are lumped into the group of people with low determination, we pass them off as outliers instead of looking at the most important features.

The correlation is clear, but that does not mean there is causation.
Their response is nothing but shabby sophistry. The search for philosphical truth is not remotely comparable to the ad-hoc as-needed approach used to develop mathematics and physics. Non-European mathematical traditions have developed distinctly to serve their own particular needs in relation to problems not raised, framed, or addressed in the American or European tradition.

-----

Point being, their argument is not a very strong response to the critique it purports to address.

There are no results.

It's possible there's a bug in the tool or that the violations are encoded using different language, but it's not something that's obvious to me.

Sounds like we're confusing philosophy as investigation with philosophy as a way of living.
I have a similar use pattern, and the short answer is: it isn't worth bookmarking. I (we?) are reading a lot and evaluating if it's even worth keeping. Once I've decided if it's worth keeping then yes, I will bookmark. But first I have to scan through the bunch of documents/pages/topics I have opened and see if they're of any use.
It does come down to that, and it makes sense if you think about it. Fresh grads come in batches of thousands at a time, many of them took the same classes, similar majors, etc, even across schools. Grades sometimes matter, sometimes don't (I had a low GPA because I had a bad habit of picking and choosing what I wanted to learn about, and it didn't come in full course increments). So what's left is the network and internships - the demonstrated ability to act human enough that people will talk to you, and listen to your ideas and think enough of you to give you a shot at something. That's why I say Ivies still matter - there's access from there to a very different network, and it opens up a job market that people like me would have very little access to.

This will be very New England focused, since that's where I live, but if my daughter doesn't get into an Ivy, I'd really try to talk her out of Colby or Bates as a consolation prize. They're fine schools, but very expensive, and probably not a whole lot better than some of the state options like UNH, UMaine, UMass, UVM, etc. They're not 20-30k more per year better anyway.
We will definitely experiment with Swarm once it's out and see how well it fits with our needs. This document covers some of the differences between swarm & IPFS for those interested: https://github.com/ethersphere/go-ethereum/wiki/IPFS-&-SWARM

For the MVP we will gift a bit of ETH to each user that installs AKASHA and creates a profile. We are talking about enough ETH to enable an average user to publish, comment and vote for a few good days. The "perfect" amount will most likely be determined after observing how real users interact with the application during the alpha. If along the way the user will generate content or comments that will in turn generate upvotes he will refill/increase his ETH balance.

It's important to note that users will be able to read entries and comments without needing any ETH so access to information is free in this regard. ETH is required only when you want to interact with the dapp living on the Ethereum network.

In any case, from my rough calculations, the costs involved in publishing an entry with 1 tag would be recovered after receiving 1 upvote. All the upvotes beyond that point would be profits going to the author.

We are also open to experimenting with things that might enable us to take over some of the interaction costs at the smart contract architecture level, but that is outside the scope of the MVP.

As for the business model we don't like ads in general so we want to experiment as much as possible on this side as well to see if we can co-create a sustainable social media network model that does not rely on ads to survive.

We don't know yet if that model means a custom token, a micro-fees scheme or something completely different that we can't even imagine at this point so we chose focus first on building the dapp and learn from the actual usage what direction we should take.

It's not exactly safe standing next to a tank hit by a rocket anyway. So, active defenses are kind of a wash in terms of infantry.
That was my intent. As long as this is fun and people are reasonable with requests on my time then I'll gladly help them.
No direct answer but I think the argument is that no matter what restrictions that make communication difficult or intentionally unpleasant have a negative impact. Your question somewhat assumes that the communicate/no communicate is mostly a manifestation of prior familial relations rather than prison actions that prevent contact...i.e.,:

>For example, one female attorney said she was told by prison officials that she could not visit a prisoner because her underwire bra set off the metal detector. After leaving, removing her bra and then returning, she was told she could not visit because she wasn’t wearing a bra.

The possibility for latent effects obviously exists, but there are actions taken by the prisons that can only be seen as attempts to reduce contact, which we can see has a negative impact. Whether its a formative or reflective latent doesn't seem like something that should be a driving factor in decisions here to me.
The website, the products, the CG... all makes me think this is nonsense.
I've never seen this, probably because recruiters aren't dumb and know that people will react just like Guilfoyle did.

I've certainly seen 'perks' for in-person interviews or acceptances, but I'd be shocked if people are opening with gifts before they get something in return.

Not so much obscure as it is vague. And vague often disguises bullshit.
Compared to what Google/Apple/Facebook know about you? It's not really that scary. Government is accountable, at least in theory. With private services, you're more or less out of luck, if you want to live a normal life surrounded by technology.
The fundamental dispute was not over the notation, but over whether the notation was misleading. I.e., is df/dx = (df/dz)(dz/dx) a real description of what is happening, and a valid calculus, or just a coincidence that sometimes won't work?

Newton had a variety of arguments in favor of why his calculus worked, only some based on infinitesimals. Liebniz just asserted without proof that infinitesimals were fine, used them, and got good results.

Additionally, there were a variety of religious arguments mixed into this, most of which are lost in the sands of uninteresting history. I.e., disputes over whether god (the perfect watchmaker) periodically wound his watch or whether he build a perfect watch that never needed winding. For instance, Liebniz believed in noninteracting dualism, but got set up the world so perfectly that the mind and body agreed. (I'm a mathematician and only minimally familiar with these - they have been discarded by history.)

These religious arguments did play a role in the debate over infinitesimals, and acceptance of divine coincidences like Liebniz notation - unjustified though it may be - working perfectly all the time.
Doesn't look like it. The CEO did sell a previous company to them, but it looks like he's started a new venture with some of the same players. I wouldn't be surprised if companies they've worked with were invested in the new venture, but the legal filings (see my other comment on this thread) suggest this is a new venture.
The product(s) are mostly differentiated by the enterprise salesperson being able to convince the company they will generate a much larger multiple of $1M in revenue or cost savings for the enterprise, and from being able to convince them that any competitive alternative in the 100K price bracket won't yield comparable results.

The ways that can work are quite varied: it could be very expensive software that's necessary to control a certain business process, or a standard app that is going to make small (but by an enterprise salesperson, quantifiable) improvements to the productivity of 40,000 staff, or something that's sold with metered usage that the enterprise wants to use a lot.

But ultimately to sell at that scale you're almost certainly using "value based pricing" where you start by trying to identify how much the enterprise customer will make/save from your product compared with their next best option, and negotiate down from there.

This is clearly true, but legally speaking I think it's time we start reevaluating as a society how far we let this swing. Technology has changed the meaning of no reasonable expectation of privacy dramatically. 100 years ago you couldn't expect not to be overheard or followed (at great cost per individual followed). Today you can't expect not to be recorded and location tracked at all times and it's low cost per person so everyone can be followed and surveiled all the time.

We can disagree if this is a net positive or negative to society, but IMO a lot of folks are treating it as if nothing has changed because the core law hasn't changed. That's missing the point - the scale change is very significant.

Amusingly, these are the easiest unmarked NYPD vehicles to spot. They're the only yellow cabs in the city with radio antennas.
Hey, at least I didn't use "cloud-native" or "12-factor app"! On a serious note, though, yeah I can't say I'm keen on the terms. I've known DevOps since it was called SRE 10 years ago, at Google. Just trying to use same terms other people on HN seem to use.
Man that headline is a knee-slapper.
Is there any actual evidence showing that median salaries are anything but stagnant recently? There may be a few outlier people at a few outlier companies experiencing "hockey stick" growth, but is this true for the median?
This seems like something that should be fined heavily by the FDA. Definitely does not seem sanitary in the least.
Degrees cause higher earnings. Part of that effect is accumulated human capital in the form of the thing learned and new networks, but part of the degree is just signaling.

There's a drastic difference between earnings for unfinished and finished college degree and in general this effect is dubbed as sheepskin effect.

Here's a Wikipedia starter on the effect: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Signalling_(economics)#Spence_...

But if those attitudes changed, it wouldn't mean that suddenly women would be able to deadlift as much as men.

Take a look at this chart: http://www.exrx.net/Testing/WeightLifting/DeadliftStandards....

Your deadlift of 220lbs puts you in the "Advanced" category assuming your body weight is somewhere in the middle. By comparison, I'm deadlifting 360lbs at 185lbs, and that's not even close to "Advanced", I'm well within the "Intermediate" category. For me to be considered advanced, I would have to lift 440lbs, literally twice what you're lifting. That's not a difference explained by psychology.

Besides, we can easily remove the factor you're talking about: there are plenty of sports which don't have the social factors you're describing. There are tons of women who run, for example. In the 60 meter dash, the top male performer, Maurice Greene, finished in 6.39s, more than half a second faster than the top female performer, Irina Privalova, at 6.92s. A half second might not seem like a lot, but consider that Privalova's time wouldn't place her even in the top 25 of male atheletes. [1] Similarly, Paula Radcliffe's 2:15:25 marathon record doesn't wouldn't put her even in the top 10 (I suspect there are hundreds of men whose personal record beats her time, but Wikipedia only shows the top 10).[2]

Do you really think Irina Privalova or Paula Radcliffe is just being actively helpless?

Seems fairly comparable to me.
It's the accumulation and correlation of the data that's the problem. At a high enough density you essentially have everyone being followed their entire lives. Formerly if the police wanted to know everywhere that a person visited because they suspected them of crime X they'd have to invest a certain level of resources which means targets had to be chosen judiciously. Now we're approaching a point where they can just trawl everyone's movements looking for anything they like, and as the algorithms get better and the density of things like CCTV and the license plate readers increases it gets easier and easier to follow anyone back in time.

IF the police were filled with perfect angels and laws were all perfectly reasonable and just allowing that might approach being ok. Instead we have a police force made of people who do things like harass whistle blowers who reveal corruption or cover ups or people they have personal vendettas against (or unrequited love toward).
Privacy isn't a simple Boolean value; there are degrees of privacy that depend on what's protected, the environment/situation, cultural expectations and awareness, and many other variables. For example, you expect privacy for your body because you wear clothes, even though you "have no expectation of privacy" because you are in public.

When the laws requiring license plates were originally created, there was a certain understanding about how that would impact society. Sure, anybody could see them, but you needed a lot of expensive manpower to track one person for a long time or everybody at any time. The impact of having the data "in public" was inherently limited.

Now that technology has removed that limitation, the consequences of having a license plate in public view have changed. Pretending that this new situation is addressed with the outdated logic we used to define "no pubic expectation of privacy" assumes that the old definitions of privacy are still valid, which is patently incorrect.
I think its beautiful and fast enough for nearly anything one would want to throw at it.

Also, unbelievably faster in terms of developer time.
If your goal is a job, there is one. It might pay minimum wage but it's there. I'm a high school drop out from two drug addicted parents that both currently live with their parents. Last time I earned minimum wage I was 15, I got a job in a kitchen washing dishes and worked my way up to sous chef over 8 years and as many restaurants. Then I taught myself some networking and PC troubleshooting and got a job in IT, then another. Now I'm working on a portfolio together and I'm going to take a stab at becoming a web developer. It is exceedingly rare in a relatively populated area that there are 'no jobs', just ones you'd prefer not to do.
Depends what you mean by "static/dynamic dispatch". Strictly speaking, the only example of static dispatch is when the called function is known at compile time. Dynamic dispatch allows selection of the function being called at runtime; either via inheritance (the called method depends on the exact subclass of the object), or via typeclasses (the called method depends on the typeclass passed along with the values - e.g. the addition typeclass will be different for a list of ints and a list of matrices).
What a myth here, whats garbage?

If you look at the early history of devops, a lot of it was developers who had previous infrastructure experience and roles writing software for automating deployment, and sever creation.

It sounds to be me you have chip on your shoulder, any mention of programmer help makes you angry? When in reality programmers appreciate modern DevOps people. What makes you thing programmers dislike you?

You seem to assume I am a programmer?

I think the fundamental issue that makes programming hard, and harder with time, is that we don't describe goals, we describe steps towards a goal. The computer only understands how to move through the state space, it does not understand where to go. We end up reverse engineering the goal / end result into the series of steps / state transitions needed to get there, and we call this activity programming.

The core problem there is two-fold. One, humans are bad at breaking things down explicitly into steps, and we make errors of description and errors of omission, which we call bugs. The program arrives at a goal, it is just the wrong one. Second, that goals grow more ambitious with time. At one point making a basic spreadsheet was a major endeavour, now it is a practical exercise as part of a programming course. Because the goal is more complex / further away, the number of steps required grows bigger. The current focus of tooling is in ways to make it easier to describe the steps, by giving you starting points closer to the goal (frameworks and blueprints) or by making the steps bigger (languages, libraries and abstractions) or by agreeing on patterns of steps, etc... I think this line of thinking, while important, is inherently limited in its ability to solve the problem.

Fundamentally, the trick to making programming easy is to turn it into something goal-oriented instead of step-oriented. You describe the desired results and the computer works out all steps regardless of the state space, and adapts as the state space changes (new data, changing circumstances).

Basically this is what unit tests do, minus the part of programming the code behind the test. But imagine one person writes only tests, and one writes only code. Replace the second person by an algorithm, and tada, goal-oriented programming. That part looks solvable to me. But ... now the problem becomes one of describing the goal, and we're merely shifting piles around in the problem space. Someone who cracks the problem of easily and accurately describing a goal would solve the harder half of the problem.

Anyway, just my two cents.
One of my friends is a rocket scientist (aerospace engineer). I asked him about kill vehicles once, and he said that intercepting Russian ICBMs is a losing battle even if you can identify the ICBM and intercept it reliably. Russian ICBMs have inflatable decoy payloads in them that are balloons for all intents and purposes. Since ICBMs deploy their payload while in space, where there is no atmosphere, the decoy balloons behave just like the actual nuclear warheads, despite the huge difference in mass. Once they hit the atmosphere the decoy payloads slow down quickly, however you should target the ICBM and its payload much earlier than this if you want to reliably defeat it. The decoys are much less expensive than the intercept vehicles, and the balloon decoys are light, so Russia can afford to put a whole mess of them in each ICBM.
