That's a bit of an oversimplification. They are enforceable under California law, but (AFAIK) only when equity is part of the employment contract. I'm not sure if stock options count; you'd need to ask an attorney.

Bottom line: if a company demands that you sign a noncompete agreement, that's your cue to ask for a chunk of the company.

You should have stopped there because that is the most rational conclusion to this whole thing.

But regarding the racism part: if you haven't noticed, the entire west is having a massive surge in racist ideologies. IMO it is one of two things, either a) it is not racism but classified as such by the left, or b) it is racism and the reason for its massive surge in the past few years are the current policies in place. In both of these scenarios, a change is required. Is Brexit that much needed change? I don't know. But what I do know is that leaving the EU is not as suicidal as people make it sound to be.
That is correct, and the author did make their research available online (on researchgate and OSF). The arXiv simply isn't the right preprint server for this, as its range of subjects doesn't cover the author's: "Open access to 1,160,864 e-prints in Physics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Quantitative Biology, Quantitative Finance and Statistics".

For all the hate that peer review gets on HN, it plays a significant role in science and it's important to have a quality screening for papers. Preprint servers and peer-reviewed conferences and journals work best in tandem. The way it works here is that when we submit something to a conference, we also submit a technical report to arXiv, which we update to incorporate the reviewers' feedback. The "complete" and preferred version is usually the one on arXiv (no length restriction, so you can actually explain and prove stuff). Conferences are much more than just publication venues, though: lots of collaborations start there, and interesting discussions can be had.

what does "GPU programming" mean?

Does it mean you've never done anything GPU related ever and you want to start at "put a triangle on the screen" with OpenGL or WebGL?

Does it mean some thing like GPGPU, you want to use GPUs to do computation?

Does it mean something like Vulkan/DX12/Metal, you want do low level stuff?

Maybe someone can give answers to all of those questions but they're arguably different things and all fit under "GPU Programming"
The IEEE 1003.1e draft 17 ("POSIX.1e") document describes several security extensions to the IEEE 1003.1 standard. While the work on 1003.1e has been abandoned, many UNIX style systems implement parts of POSIX.1e draft 17, or of earlier drafts.

If you look back a few more centuries, and check out what the brothers Gracchi, Gaius Marius and Julius Caesar were up to, you'll start to notice that money-less aristocrats have a knack of rallying the poor to their banner, so they can take the state from the moneyed aristocrats.

That has happened a few more times, and rarely the poor have really profited from it. It's a tough game.

Variable naming will only add to that, as you can rename variables in the extracted methods for their local purpose.

If you have too many arguments you can package them up in a object/map/tuple of your choosing (depending on language).

This definitely falls under "bugs in the rendering path". In this case the question isn't which one looks better, but which one the media author intended.

Your two culprits are that someone's YUV->RGB math forgot that Y needs to be expanded from 16-235 to 0-255 - possible but really surprising! - or that one player implements gamma correction and the other doesn't.

Gamma correction might look nice, but it can't be called correct unless you've profiled your monitor, set the brightness level, not changed your ambient lighting levels, and turned off all the nonsense LCD options like "contrast".

BTW, the only rendering bug I ever expect to see is the difference between Rec.601 and Rec.709 colorspace, which just kind of makes green colors look different. So this is pretty extreme!
Despite plenty of studies showing multi tasking for humans is less efficient than single tasking ( e.g. http://news.stanford.edu/2009/08/24/multitask-research-study... ) here we are inventing new ways to be even more distracted.

Price is a bit high $0.3 GB / month vs. $0.1 GB / month for SSD EBS and even less for local storage. S3 is even cheaper $0.03 GB / month. So EFS is 10 times more expensive than S3.

On I/O front also EBS (gp2) and (st1) are several times cheaper.

So most of EFS advantages are in flexibility and sharing same file system across many instances. This may be great e.g. for sharing readonly binaries, but large scale data pipeline likely can be done much cheaper using different technologies.
My advice:
1. buy some cuda GTX from nvidia (second hand ebayish would do)

2. install pycuda https://mathema.tician.de/software/pycuda/

3. dive into excelennt documentation and tutorials: https://documen.tician.de/pycuda/

Literally in 2h, I had first code on my GTX at standard ubuntu. Being it python (plus obvious cuda code in C) was much easier to grasp.
Nah.

It has almost all the problems of Wankel. Low torque, difficult sealing, weirdly shaped expansion chamber (where part of the burn happens at high RPM, this might get you impurities in the burn). This seems to be kinda "sleeve valve" type valves. Poppets dominate for couple of reasons: A quick open and close and B self sealing. Both features that these things necessarily lack. The balance of the thing seems horrible. You could get good balance if you put four of these on single crankshaft. But then you have 12 incredibly small burn volumes for given size of engine -> even less torque.

"A dwell near top-dead-center forces combustion to occur at nearly constant-volume conditions." If you increase chamber pressure in regular engine during top dead center, you risk breaking the crankshaft. It's likely this thing can only do it because of low HP and no crankshaft. Which in turn fucks the balance.

I feel there is more emphasis on the technique of how to create the graph to promote the subscription-based website's tutorials instead of the actual thing - which IMHO would actually benefit from less programming wizardry. I find the movement distracting. Instead, show the four years side by side. Dingleberry mentions a box plot, but I think the main point would be to just see the development without having to press buttons and watch an animation (and may I suggest a violin plot, kind of like a box plot but it also shows density information). It took me several iterations of switching until I saw details that would be visible right away if all were shown in one graph, for example that how many outliers there are in each profession changes, meaning the development isn't equal but actually reverses in some of them. But you have to keep going back and forth to see which are which.

So this is what happens when your focus is teaching fancy visualization techniques instead of making the point.

Investor goals and founder goals are rarely aligned. If you want to go for world domination and would rather risk everything to achieve that and possibly end up with nothing at all then go the investor route. That will increase your chances of ending up with nothing, but it will (perversely) also increase your chances of success.

If you're already happy at your current level just grow it organically and don't look back.

Remember: happiness is the ability to be content with what you already have, not with what you could do.

It's not about technology. Bullshit science affects policies. Also you don't see what did not get discovered/invented because of people having wasted time trying to build on bad theories.

Also, nobody's saying it's completely broken.
Those are major advances that happen very very rarely. The bulk of science is small incremental steps in science. It is extremely frustrating not being able to trust the results published even in high impact journals. This is a particularly glaring problem for theoreticists/modelers. Each theory/model must rely on potentially hundreds of studies, and it's really hard to assign a confidence level to each of them.

you don't have to be number one in order for conflict emerge. That is something leftists don't seem to understand. I would argue that when a society's homogeneity is in question, the social "survival mechanism" kicks in.

In other words, my argument is that in order to maintain internal peace, a society needs to be mostly homogeneous. Multi-cultural societies throughout history have always had major racism and other form of group-oppression. Traditionally, in order to maintain internal peace societies have exported that conflict in order to rally the citizens around the flag (example of this would be the US).

I might be wrong about this but I have never heard, read about or seen a single multi-cultural society that have managed to remain in peace for too long. The only exception to that are societies that are ruled by dictators with an iron fist (ex. Syria prior to the war). Groups did co-exist peacefully but they had to be forced to do so.

Forgive me for not being an academic, so maybe this question is moot.

Why isn't there a place that links to a given paper so that discussion about the paper can be centralized? It could also contain links to papers that link to that paper, among them would/could be the failure to replicate information, adding to the discussion. And I don't really mean a topical "this is what's new" site, I mean a historical "This is the paper, and this is what people have said about it." sort of site.

This seems like a fairly elementary idea. The only seeming difficult bits I see are:

a) Getting (legal?) access to these papers.

b) Dealing with a large number of papers (millions?).

c) Authenticating users to keep the discussion level high.

d) Moderating the discussion in a way that doesn't piss off academia (impossible?).

e) Keeping the number of these sites (competition, if you will) low so that the discussion is not fractured between them.

It would seem like one of the "Information wants to be free" sites that host the papers that everyone shares with each other would be a great place to start something like this.

You are right for small scale things.

I'll have to double check my working out, but you're only paying for what you use, not provision, which is one big things.

Also, if you have > 3 machines working from the same dataset (ie docker image/video/large binaryblob) there is an instant saving, without factoring in provisioned vs useable space with EBS

but, your original point, as a 1-1 replacement of a properly sized EBS mount, is correct, its more expensive.
I think EFS is meant for large read-heavy patterns, at least that's what we used it for. For example, I help run an e-commerce site that has a lot of content (JS, CSS, images, etc.) that we serve up from 10 dedicated servers as well as 30 general servers. When we release new content we have to update each of the servers and make sure that everything got installed properly everywhere. With EFS, we just have to update one thing and everyone gets it automatically.

Hi dynamic99,

If I were you and i'm near YC, I would probably ask YC if there are any spots for volunteers for any specific YCR program. Tell them your reason why you are interested as you have specified above.

If you are lucky enough to have a chance to volunteer, you get an in depth experience on how they are actually doing it. Giving you the opportunity to ask yourself, do you still want to do this after High School?

In general the way academics have a “discussion about the paper” is by writing another paper in response and citing the original.

So what you’re looking for is the citation graph, and you can find it e.g. on Google scholar. Search for the paper you are interested in, and then click the link which lists all the papers which cite that one.

You’ll probably need to be on a university campus or ask your anonymous internet friends for help to get around paywalls.
> The paper was a meta-analysis of nine unpublished studies. While the issue of non-publication of negative results is extremely important, this should not be the test case for it.

I think they probably made a mistake in calling it a meta-analysis, because indeed a meta-analysis relies on the idea that the studies themselves have already been peer reviewed and as such don't need to be questioned individually. Here, however, we're dealing with eight attempts at replication by the author that have not previously been published, and as such those studies should be discussed in detail so we can assess the merits of the individual replication attempts. Any meta-analysis of those experiments is then really just the cherry on top.
