Just a few of many reviews (more at kaibydesign.com/#testimonials and at upwork.com/fl/kaibydesign )

Technical skills and effective communication. The ability to satisfy the rigorous demands of engineering design and modelling combined with the management skills that keep projects flowing smoothly. Creative passion that takes a product from mere function to elegant utility.

I began my engineering career in deformable optic design back in 2005, and have since worked with a variety companies, from a 14-person technical startup to an established subsidiary of a Fortune 500 company. My design work has spanned from small injection-molded case components to large steel manufacturing assemblies, but throughout I have applied my strong mechanical innovation and my passion for design excellence.

For a partner who gives you great designs and clear communication, hire Kai by Design.

This is fascinating, and also sounds like an extremely high-risk situation from a malware perspective. Isn't Facebook Lite [1] supposed to address this? I'm surprised they haven't solved distribution in these markets.

Hmm, are you sure you've got the latest version? Check for `+termtruecolor` when you run `vim --version`. Can you see something like that?

For reference I've got vim-7.4.1795 installed. Version string looks like this:

VIM - Vi IMproved 7.4 (2013 Aug 10, compiled May 6 2016 11:18:41)

Also, if you're using tmux you'll need the latest version of that too.

Edit: Also, just remembered you might need to run brew update before brew install to get the latest installation formula.
Deep learning can do question-answering.
If I could also add that NBD is extremely notorious in Linux. I am a block storage developer and NBD has been one of the main reasons why so many openstack storage products (like formation data and others) have really struggled. There are many known Linux kernel issues with NBD, for example, if an NBD provider (user space daemon) exits for any reason, the kernel panics. Here is an example of a long outstanding bug that has plagued the NBD community and openstack community for years (https://www.mail-archive.com/nbd-general@lists.sourceforge.n...). It won't get addressed any time soon. I also looked at the repo and it looks like a very simplistic approach to a hard problem. BTW I have used etcd and if this is anything like etcd, I'd really be worried. etcd snapshots bring an entire cluster down for a while.

It is typically not legal to pay out (via dividends or share buybacks) to different investors of the same class in differing amounts.

I'm not enough of a tax lawyer to say if you can do a miniature version of that by buying back stock of a US company listed on foreign exchanges without repatriating capital, but after arbitrage you would expect the effect to ripple back to the US-listed share price by the same amount.
Do you seriously not see how someone discussing how good a slave you would make is (at the very least) 'unwelcoming'?
Curious if this will ever come up at a job interview ie the interviewer jokingly saying something like "I notice you got shot but you seem fine now" indicating that they googled you.
"Here is my personal answer to the second question: deep neural networks are more useful than traditional neural networks for two reasons:
The automatic encoding of features which previously had to be hand engineered.
The exploitation of structurally/spatially associated features.
At the risk of sounding bold, that’s it — if you believe there is another benefit which is not somehow encompassed by these two traits, please let me know."

Let me ask a very simple question. What set of hand-engineered features gives <5% error on ImageNet?
I think you're overthinking the likelihood of that becoming a controversy.

Sovereign wealth funds routinely invest in companies which run contrary to government official policies. Their foremost duty is as investment managers, not politicians.

It depends if the CS department is in an engineering college/school as part of the larger institution. In colleges without engineering programs, its often in a liberal arts and sciences school.
Text from 1st lecture page spot on: And then there are the “space wizard” level articles that hardly anyone can understand Most people drop off at the intermediate stage.
A job is created when there is an opportunity to make (more) money, and that opportunity requires human labour beyond what can be provided by the person who realizes that opportunity.

It fundamentally comes down to that dynamic. So to create jobs, you need to:

a) Increase potential for opportunities, or opportunities themselves.

b) Reduce costs for realizing those opportunities.

Notice the greed component (which is a feature, not a bug, of capitalism) -- there must be an incentive to make MORE money in order for this to kick off.

My doctor told me to redose in the evening if I'm going to a social gathering, and it changed my interactions completely.

Instead of writing myself off with shots until I can handle the social side, I am able to carry conversations, am not overwhelmed by the stimulus (imagine trying to have a conversation, while playing pinball and reading a book in a loud room).

It was a huge factor in breaking a drinking problem, which was actually masking many of my ADHD symptoms. It's a highly personal anecdote, but does show the other side of the coin.

(for the record, I don't generally drink anymore, never on my meds. when I do plan a night out, its usually with close friends so many of the issues just aren't there.)

appFigures | New York, NY | Onsite - appFigures is a leading app store intelligence platform that aims to make app store data accessible to everyone.

We take lots of data and turn it into meaningful insights so app makers and other industry spectators can act on.

We're a fun and smart team that enjoys solving problems and knows how to enjoy our successes (whiskey Fridays, board games, catered lunches, and more). We also have pretty amazing health insurance that includes free dental coverage.

We're looking for:

* A Site Reliability Engineer who can work with a Linux stack on local and virtualized servers with some unconventional additions.

* A software developer to grow the platform, writing code in Python and C# (don't diss the language, it's the platform's fault...).

* A front end developer to help grow our existing code base into React and extend it to slice and dice data in even more clever ways.

* An analyst to help transform mountains of data into reports we can share with the world. If you like Excel pivot tables and have strong writing skills you'll love this role.

We have a few more positions open but these are the ones we're focusing on right now.

_One or more years of experience and a related degree are required for all positions._

Sounds like you? Email jobs@appfigures.com with the position in the title. I (the CEO) read all applications :)

Exactly --- none. But those features were born out of brute forcing a spatial exploitation, not some magical connection that we humans never thought about previously, which reinforces the point.

"Since I am feeling especially bold, I will make another prediction: deep learning will not produce the universal algorithm. There is simply not enough there to create such a complex system."

While I (emotionally) agree, it will be interesting to see if the complexity (and non-linearity) of these algorithms permit 'emergent' behavior to appear.
Yea, but naps really boost productivity even for just a short nap. I wish the start-up culture was more cool with naps. Spoken from someone who has worked at large and small startups that sometimes after lunch just really needs a nap.
It does this thanks to a technology called DAX and the fact that systemd boots really fast.

I don't understand why people are content to absolutely waste 12% of their waking hours commuting to and from a job. Boggles the mind.
I think your answer here means that "freedom" is essentially a useless word in political discussions. Your definition is radically different than mine.
What you forget is that cabs also have incentives not available to Uber, such as lower fleet costs and tax advantages in certain cities. If you compare transportation costs without Uber subsidies, cabs are very competitive in some markets.
> 'progressive' practices such as unlimited vacation

Unlimited vacation is not progressive and it is also unhealthy.

It causes feelings of guilt while on vacation. Often there's an unspoken obligated to check-in (email & chat) when on vacation. And leads to taking fewer vacation days not more. When leaving a company, they have no obligation to pay out accrued vacation days since there is none defined (this may be a Canadian thing). Additionally, it can also come with the unspoken culture of overtime, since it can easily be made up with "more time off".

Having worked with unlimited vacation, if I am ever offered it again, I will decline and negotiate defined vacation into my employment agreement.

>SSRIs, for example, take weeks to have an effect.

I am not sure that the time it takes to have an effect is a good metric for whether or not something has potential for abuse. Sure SSRIs take a few weeks to have a noticeably effect but they also takes weeks to tail off. The area under the curve is not necessarily different.

It's not tragedy of the commons, it's path dependence. If you don't have excellent mass transit then you need parking, so you build parking. Then if you have parking everybody drives and nobody is willing to invest in mass transit, so you continue to need parking.

“oh shit I need to pay rent”=limited time offer for a digital marketing strategy
I would hope that the US would enforce rule of law within its own borders. Using terrorism funding criminal statutes, the extradition process, or enemy-prisoner-of-war exchange (that would be bizarre, but not unprecedented) to mollify the UK government would have been better solutions.

That's another example of a really murky conflict without one side having a moral upper hand.
In the US, release price of GTX 580 was $500 and release price of the 1080 at launch is $600. Converting the 580's price to 2016 dollars gives about a 10% increase in price.

The 980 TI I'm not sure is the best comparison to a GTX 580. It was intentionally a very expensive ultra-high end card. The GTX 590 debuted at $700.

There does seem to be a problem with prices being ridiculously high in most non-US regions, though.

The upper two levels have been parks and plaza space since 1966 when it was called El Paseo de Los Pobladores de Los Angeles or just Civic Center Mall. Prior to that the lower level had been a parking lot and there was a road that cut through the center, leading to city hall. They cut the lower parking lot into the park in the 2010 project you talk about.

So yes, grand park has been gradually growing in size for about 50 years. It certainly now has a more memorable name. It's going in a good direction...

Cars make surpassing a certain level of urban density really difficult. As parts of LA are getting there, people are finding out they really can't do it and at the same time allocate enough space for everyone to have their own car. The divorce of the 60s onward happend as a physical necessity. I think LA is growing past such reactionary urban planning. I hope so
Or, without wanting to sound too conspiratorial, it's easier to sell the magic of "intelligent machines" to the consumer if they have been drowned in AI coverage in the media when there finally is helpful algorithms and useful voice interactions and so on. This is completely speculative on my part but I wonder about the autonomy of people and how it could change mental models if all the machines around you are supposed to be smarter than you
I got some blood testing machines I'd love to sell you.
I wouldn't take this as representative of normal Rust code. This is standard nom which I would categorize very much as a DSL of sorts for creating parser combinators. In order to understand this code you really have to understand the fundamentals of nom as the reason it is so powerful is because there is a bit of magic going on here.

Also, I knew this piece of code looked familiar. For those that wanted to see this code with whitespace, https://github.com/GGist/bip-rs/blob/master/bip_utracker/src....
Referring to lethal violence against someone you just met is generally considered impolite in most contexts, so it seems unlikely, at least in the United States.
I certainly hope they don't charge a flat fee, that'll just make the problem worse, not better. Once you pay the fee you'll be inclined to use it as much as you can, "just to get your money's worth". Sort of like how most people overeat at all-you-can-eat restaurants.

They need to make sure they charge more than the retail rate for electricity. Make sure it's cheaper to charge at home. It'll still be almost an order of magnitude cheaper than gas.
I think it's unrealistic to think that Lyft will be a sickly competitor. It has less cash to push toward subsidizing rides but I could foresee it sticking around, especially since many drivers use both ride share apps.

Blizzard Exempt from iOS and MacOS Security Sandbox
I didn't check much either, but "economic liberty" is amongst the libertarian shibboleths.
so it is a place that will centralize all my credentials so it can fetch and parse my mail, IMs, stock trades, files, etc to then inter-process that to my liking and possible talk to a client on my phone or such?

why a chain of specialized posix programs would fail for that?
Often, "liberal arts and sciences schools" offer both liberal arts (B.A.) and sciences (B.S.) degrees, the former having more breadth requirements and the latter more depth in the major field; quite often they offer both types of degrees for some STEM fields. IME, which may not be representative, Computer Science is far less likely to have B.A. programs than either Math or most physical sciences.
#1 is a pretty serious charge. You posted this four hours ago and haven't posted any evidence to substantiate it. Maybe you confused Urbit with another project, and would like to retract? It's certainly an understandable mistake.

#2 is not worth bringing up again, but you might want to look carefully at the dictionary meaning of the word "avowed." If a person denies being a communist, it is still possible for him to be a communist, but perhaps it doth protest too much if you go all the way to "avowed communist."

#3 seems improbable, as (a) I don't know Lisp, and (b) Hoon is a typed language. "Only dedicated people would learn it" sounds like an interesting marketing tactic which must involve some kind of strong reverse psychology. Frankly, I have enough trouble with basic forward psychology.

#4 would be perfectly true, except that the company owns less than half of the Urbit namespace. The rest has been distributed across about 50 more or less random individuals.

(I think I know the hackerspace you mean -- Bloomington? A bunch of them drove to LambdaConf and interned. Incredibly smart, nice and wonderful young people, needless to say. I'd hang out with them all the time if I lived there.)
I don't think you can compare the situation with twitter or facebook. Those are actually good at what they are doing. But upwork is such a crap (in my experience as a client, for freelancers it must be horrors) that a lot of people would jump ship as soon as there would be an alternative. But sadly all alternatives like guru or freelancer.com are as bad or even more (missing words to describe those clusterfucks) as upwork. Elance was at least a bit usable. Toptal might be an alternative but their boarding process looks a bit esoteric and is aiming at another targetgroups anyway.
The Truth behind 500onRed

app-specific ones are usually under a little gear-thingy on the right-hand side.
Classic example is Linux and Torvalds.

But I was referring to the fact that nobody else is solving this specific problem. You either stay happy with your collection of walled gardens or you wait to see if he can unbreak the internet.

In fact in this case, the work goes ahead anyway. Perhaps you end up using it in ten years, or perhaps you don't. But neither of us gain anything from this argument at the present time.
That was fun, thanks for sharing! I was a little confused on how the scoring worked, and the timer seemed short (but I kept trying to refine more).
"Profitable" under non-GAAP measures maybe. Their efforts to hit actual profitability in US markets has led to a lot of driver backlash.

I wouldn't trust a thing that company says about their cashflows until they are in SEC filings.
As least we know there was an assface on the inside.

Edit: username?
my thought for the last couple years has been they are an information arbitrage/market maker probably similar to AMZN. I also have to imagine they are working on a self driving car.

On top of engineering spend they are basically at war with every single place they move into and refuse to go public. They can't continue to be just ride sharing when self-driving cars come out, so they need to capture that market (or some market) another way
