(Just a heads-up, the Eurozone and the EU are different – the former is the currency union under the Euro, and membership of the latter is what the referendum is about. Not all members of the EU are members of the Eurozone).

Scotland had an independence referendum less than two years ago, where the outcome was a good 45%-55% in favour of remaining in the UK. However, the majority of representatives in Scotland remain pro-Scottish independence. Continued membership of the EU was an important argument during the independence campaign – with the pro-independence side wanting to remain, and the pro-UK side warning that Scotland would lose EU membership if it voted for independence.

It's likely – but not certain – that there would be a second independence referendum in Scotland on the basis of being 'forced' to exit the EU. But it's not going to be pretty, and there have been a lot of elections in Scotland recently – no doubt everyone is getting a bit fatigued. It's not clear at all what the outcome would be, either, or if Scotland would even be able to maintain EU membership.

SNP did not really campaign, despite having been resolutely pro-EU all the time in the past. They clearly hope Leave wins so they can get a mandate to break away for good; they'll have another referendum, which will be easily won, and say bye.

The syntax isn't the greatest, but you can get pretty far with Python's ternary expression. Generators in my experience remove the need for most loops. Where lambdas feel really subpar for me is the lack of 'let' and error-handling.
I think you are been a little uncharitable to poor Clickonce. Clickonce came out a number of years before Chrome and at the time its simple publish model, automatic update detection, and incremental updates were light years ahead of the other clunky Window installers of the time.
OK, so this guy's problem with Google is that it doesn't give all of its perks to all employees? Why the hell would the company treat employees from significantly different labour markets the same way in the first place? Is there some crazy assumption that any employee should be equally valuable to the company?

May not be hot tech like ML, but traditional symbolic AI is still pretty useful in stuff like Natural language processing. Plus, it's a great way to learn functional programming too.

Book rec: Computation Semantics with Functional Programming. It goes through the whole gamut of formal languages, lambda calculus, propositional logic, predicate logic, logical inference engines, nl semantics etc. It uses Haskell to build concrete examples for each section, and contains a concise tutorial on the language too. Very self-contained. No prerequisites required.
That would be as far from real world as you can get.

I agree completely...a shining example of how there's always more data to the data. I remember in 2014, they were tracking a Senate race in which the underdog, because of the order of precincts reporting, was seemingly on its way to a massive upset. To its credit, CNN made a few caveats while at the same time talking about how exciting things were as they did Jerry-Bruckheimer-zooms of their fancy electorate map...but all the while, the NYT kept calm and steady with its prediction and as the night went on, the vote results line gradually converged to nearly exactly what the NYT's analysis predicted.

It's definitely made election night a lot less dramatic.
This is how I read it. He only feels that the employee is owed anything while they have something to offer the company. As soon as they're no longer working for the company, the amount they're owed becomes wasted 'dead money' that should be spent on keeping the remaining employees motivated, rather than given to someone who no longer matters.
Now 55% to leave!
> Your comment was downvoted because it was rude and confrontational.

I didn't read that at all. The situation, as it stands, involves claims and counterclaims and only one side of the argument appears as third-party verifiable. It's only natural to question why an apparent rebuttal from Microsoft doesn't come with any transparency (again!)

IMO, down voting the GP for pointing this out is bullshit.
It's possible to argue the same thing from the other side: the political establishment in many countries have forgotten that they have to earn their legitimacy by working for the benefit of their compatriots.

We've had a political class who've decided that the hoi polloi don't really matter anymore and that governance is a matter of maintaining consensus at the top. Now the working classes are lashing back and sure it's ugly but it's a predictable consequence of the last few decades of tone deaf technocratic government.
I should have been more careful with the wording and specified downloads instead of people. I also assumed the statistic was accurate and bots weren't an issue, which is probably wrong. Regardless, it's been removed.
In this scenario you give those employees a new 4 year refresher grant every single year. Not one at hire and one four years later. You pile them on both as a form of performance based compensation and to prevent the exact situation you describe.

In your example the guy who leaves after 4 years of low salary makes a lot less than the guy who gets incremental grants and a growing salary who is a vp at the end making 500k a year.

I didn't downvote you, but I do disagree with your view.

A straightforward way to keep someone around after their four-year vesting clock expires is to grant them new shares on a new vesting schedule.

Their initial grant was part of compensation that reflected their probable value contribution to the company over the four-year vesting cycle. If the company would accrue additional value by their continuing to work beyond four years, it should compensate them for that additional value with more equity.

And it's not adequate to say their work will increase the value of their already-vested equity. Dilution happens.

Also, it's not true that the two employees receive the same compensation. The one who departs receives six years less (salary, bonus, benefits, etc.) than the one who continues for ten years.

Dyalog has a 32-bit windows (though it works on wine middling well) only unregistered version http://dyalog.com/download-zone/unregistered.htm that other than a splash screen works great.

I am wary of proprietary environments I'm not going to argue for them, but getting a hold of a working+legal copy of Dyalog is actually pretty painless
Thanks, thought I might be getting the "euro zone" part wrong but wasn't sure.

Honestly I was surprised when this whole issue came up because I assumed that the EU and the Eurozone where the same thing. I know the UK never decided to adopt the Euro so I just assumed that they weren't part of the EU.
If you are talking just about $ then totally but there's more than just money. Big companies have bureaucracy, corporate politics, etc.

> From a legal standpoint (ISRG) should have trademarked this when they started using it publicly in November of 2014. There negligence to have done so is why this debate is happening. Then they want to cry foul because of their failure to follow the simplest of product protections. Registering your trademarks. The one who is in possession of the registered trademark is the owner, and that is the law.

That is just deeply, totally, entirely wrong as far as the USA goes. I'm going to give this person the benefit of the doubt and just assume there's some i18n misunderstanding going on here, but in the USA, registration is a formality that's simply not required to afford trademark protection.
So you provide capital and you get to keep more or less no matter what.

You actually work in the company, get a lower pay in exchange for options and help them increase their value (even more true for early employees) and you can go fuck off.

Trickle-down was that if the rich have more money, plenty will spill over to the poor. It fails because people who have more money will tend to keep it.

With housing, there's a very low ceiling on consumption. Almost nobody lives in two apartments just because they can afford to. So without sufficient supply, you get people who say "I had to buy an ugly, somewhat distressed property in order to enter the market".

>If you use a resume as a litmus test for "smart programmers" as opposed to those faking it, you're undoubtably going to get a bunch of people who went to the best possible schools.

Yes, and that's exactly what happens at the most desirable companies.

>Maybe there's someone just as smart at your local state school who couldn't afford CMU who would bring a completely different mindset and style of thinking, but you'll never find them.

If you're really a stand-out, IQ-wise, you can go to the top tier schools even if you have no money. The people who get screwed are the people who are pretty smart but not exceptionally so.
>nobody with a platform is making the well-known arguments about why these things are very dangerous.

This is the inherent problem in dealing with demagoguery. Logical arguments do not matter, and the left doesn't seem to understand this. You have to fight fire with fire. Feelings with feelings. You have to speak to people's guts, not their minds.
You're asking why the angry mob is so disorganized? Angry mobs are angry mobs and demagogues are demagogues. My point is that the fault doesn't lie with the mob it lies with the people who let things come to this.

I used to be really concerned and generally opposed to such biases. But after careful thought, I'm now very uncertain.

I really want to know how much of this "bias" is actually just an informative and useful prior.

As an example, suppose you have two candidates from Princeton. One is black, the other is asian. With high probability, the asian candidate is smarter - he had to pass through a much more rigorous college admissions filter than the black person.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=11904256

Now given equal evaluations, it probably makes sense to hire the Asian person over the black person. (Similar reasoning suggests you should prefer an Asian to a white person.) The reason is simply that base rates matter. Bayes rule says that P(good candidate|evidence) = P(evidence|good candidate) P(good candidate)/P(evidence).

The term P(good candidate) is known as the base rate - as simple arithmetic demonstrates it's important information.

So assuming the base rate for various groups differs, these "biases" might actually not be biases at all - they might be informative. If we eliminate these biases from our process, we might actually make worse decisions [1]. Unfortunately this article doesn't address that question at all.

See also this body of research, which suggests that many racial/sexual stereotypes are actually useful priors and improve human decisionmaking: http://www.rci.rutgers.edu/~jussim/unbearable%20accuracy%20o...

I'm also curious to hear arguments about the ethics of using such information in decision making, assuming they are in fact informative.

[1] For those unfamiliar with statistics, I've got a simple article here illustrating the arithmetic of base rates. Clickbait title: A gay person donates blood which tests negative for HIV. A straight person donates untested blood. Which is safer? The answer will SHOCK you. https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/why_gays_cant_donate...

Google's historical track record at building products that succeed is dismally low.

I can count their successful products on 2 hands. I'm not sure brainstorming like a googler would yield positive results.
Imagine that the job consists in swimming at 3000 meters depth, and wait for the sharks to arrive, while the other members of the team are welding the oil & gas pipelines, valves, and other installations at the bottom of the ocean. It is a stabbing contest. The shark will bite and you will stab, until one of both gives up. If the shark wins, you will be his lunch. If you win, he will be your lunch.

The next question is: Will women apply for this job? Possibly. I am not against that. If she really wants to do that job, why not? Will she move on to some other job before the end of the year? That is very possible.

At the same time, some men just dream about getting that job. They would give an arm and a leg to get hired. It will be total fascination.

So, does it constitute "gender discrimination" when you can see that only a particular type of men -- not even all men -- end up lasting in that job?

In a sense, if I see that lots of women do a particular job, I will instinctively shy away from there, because how could that job ever be fun to me? If they like, I can impossibly like it.

While these cognitive roadblocks affect everyone, I wish the tech community and others who believe in "meritocracy" would take greater hede of this article and other criticisms of it.
I think the problem with Google is that it advertised (still does?) itself, in a rather believable way, as being be diverse, fun, everyone working together -- developers, janitors and artists all holding hands creating a brigher tomorrow and perhaps fighting against evil.

Well it worked for me back then, I really did believe Google was "Don't Be Evil" kind of company and so on, vis-a-vis say Microsoft, or say Walmart. Which were not evil, just you know, regular companies makign money. At least I remember buying into the PR.

So you see, Google took advantage of that image, and it worked out great for them. The problem is as soon as they went that way it became a high risk game, because from then on they will be judged according to that standard.

So I don't see a problem at all with criticizing it. It really set itself up to a higher standard, so there is nothing wrong with pointing fingers at it and saying "look at the hypocrisy".

The other more telling thing, is the story around it the video. How quickly this supposedly tollerant, open, diverse company moved to fire this person. You can only be tollerant and open as long as you are tollerant and open about approved things. You have the freedom to choose between the chocolate cake and the strawberry cake, but you don't get to ask how the cake is made, basically.
While it IS a conscious decision to force lambdas to be a single expression, extending it to be able to be multiline would screw up with indentation being irrelevant inside of a function call too.
The traditional left parties, in much of the English speaking world, have shuffled so far right (the "Third Way" types like the Lange, Blair, the Clintons, and so on) that there's slim pickings for have-nots to vote for. In the UK half of the Labour party and progressive institutions (like the Graun) spend more time attacking Corbyn for being, well, a Labour leader than they ever do going after the Tories. Clinton says that everything is sweet and the system can't (and shouldn't) be changed.

The institutions that used to provide alternatives political voices have been co-opted. So who are they going to vote for?

I want to like the EU and this in fact what was pushed really hard for by the school system at least in Germany. But I can't fail to notice its many disadvantages. It is fundamentally even less democratic than the representative democracies it unites, supposedly run by technocrats that in fact follow agendas set by corporations/industry, with decisions that get sold to the public as inevitable. I hate what the Bologna reforms did to higher education for example, but there are many other instances where EU decisions had extremely negative impact, with sometimes almost no popular support.

Point being not only right wing basket cases don't like the EU. The far left doesn't really like it either. It is a project conceived by US planners and executed by the French and German elites pushed onto the rest of the continent. Whenever there is talk about the "democracy deficit" it is brushed aside as something that will be fixed once Europe has become more integrated.

There is a theory that this is what happens when you have several generations live their lives without seeing a major war or crisis, and feeling its results firsthand.
