I believe that citizen's should have as close to 'perfect information' as possible, so I am glad the emails from the DNC were released regardless of how that happened.

As someone who studied SICP in the 80s and continued on to ML, etc., I can say that even though functional programming is far from dominant now, it's way trendier than back then, so much so that there's just no question.

The entire edifice of modern liberal politics seems to be built upon the very idea of conscious and unconscious bias on the part of people wielding some fraction of institutional power. Usually it's referred to with terms like 'white privilege' or 'patriarchy.' Calling this out as racist or sexist doesn't get much traction. On HN I even recall repeated discussions on whether white programmers can be trusted construct non-racist algorithms.

Creativity hasn't bottomed out, you're just not looking in the right pond. Of course your huge money making pop label isn't going to be pushing the boundaries of contemporary music, take a moment to go looking for something new and alien if you're that worried.

The driving forces behind popular music, Hollywood, TV, video games even, have never been larger. It's easier to just say their shadow encompasses everything than it is to walk over to the edge and look out.
Phoenix doesn't surprise me... know too many people going out into "hell on earth" summer heat to play that game... Tempe Town Lake in particular is pretty full of them. It's an interesting phenomena. It might be more interesting to me, as a game in mid October when it cools off a bit.

I'm curious how more remote locations fare.

>> Yahoo, for example, reports a steady progression from read-heavy to read-write workloads, driven largely by the increased ingestion of event logs and mobile data.

> Sorry if this an ignorant question. Are these applications really that sensitive to write throughput ? event logs are only read of-band, so whats the rush. Seems like any benefits are offset by the GC stall anyways.

There's two variables here: Latency, and volume.

I'm not sure how much of an issue latency is for event logs / analytic metrics (RE: "whats the rush"), but if you've written e.g. Pokemon Go with several million installs, there's a sheer volume of inbound data that - no matter how little you care about latency - leaves you with one of two options: throttle it and throw some of it away, or write something that can scale to handle that much sheer volume.

And the first option is not one: Throwing away player gameplay progression will piss them off.

Professionals aren't playing the same game as amateurs are, so your logic is flawed.
Same here, does anyone know what the heck is going on? Why has there been such a surge in the past year or two?

My uncle was an early supporter of Ooma and my parents have a box that provides their landline number that they've had for 25+ years, and they don't pay anything in terms of a monthly fee.

In spite of how great of a deal it is, the spam calls have gotten to be so bad that my parents are considering getting rid of it. It's not worth the hassle, even when it's essentially free. At least half the calls that come in are spam.

(Quick aside: Ooma deserves praise for their product. I hope they succeed and can pivot properly to other products as telephones naturally die. They contribute back to the FOSS Asterisk project and their products are reliable.

Here's a cool blog post I've come across where someone hooks their Ooma box into a local server running Asterisk. You could probably do some really cool home-automation with this: http://www.adrianandgenese.com/blogger/2010/04/23/how-to-set... )
Every time I get a call from a number I don't recognize I do this ridiculous dance where I try to Google the number (usually on my phone) before the ringing stops. If it shows up on enough spam caller sites (whocallsme, etc), I don't answer and add the number to my "SPAM" contact that currently contains about a billion phone numbers.

It's ridiculous that it took Google so long to implement such a basic feature on their phones.
>Frankly I'm surprised you are willing to toe the line this closely with an account that is personally identifiable.

It's only surprising to you because you're ascribing to me views I don't hold.

Second, though my details are in my profile, your use of my name is clearly meant to be threatening and is therefore over the line. A comment like that is simply out of line.
The problem is it's all hogwash due to survivorship bias; every single one of them could simply be lucky. This is literally no different than interviewing lottery winners and asking them how they chose their numbers. People who write books about the successful are conning you for cash, always. There is nothing to be learned from the habits of just successful people; other than misleading yourself with superstition.
Probably because it's possibly liable.

I don't mind MongoDB too much (would prefer RethinkDB, or if a cloud platform is target for deployment probably it's bigtable/sql option). Really not a fan of ng1/ng2... Node I like, it's a good backing server for JS. I think React+Redux is a much better front end option.

The Do Not Call list at some point simply stopped working. I file several complaints a week, and haven't even gotten a response in months.
Why is the assumption that someone working 3-4 days a week can't take on a large project or won't be dedicated? That seems completely non-obvious to me. Sure a project might take a week longer, but it also might not. A lot of my best work comes after extended periods of letting my subconscious mull things over.

One possible compromise I could imagine is something like three 9 hour days with an hour of emailing/communication/brainstorming the other two days. And maybe once every month or two they come to work an extra half day for an important meeting.

With a 30-50% pay cut, this setup will be positively affecting the burn rate/payroll expenses and it could easily be a better investment than the standard work arrangement. Obviously not every potential team member would be the right fit for this, but I think many would.

I don't know why you're assuming the AI is smart enough to perfectly understand what you want even with incomplete knowledge but is stupid enough to need your help even though it's effectively capable of doing everything by itself.
I'm not sure why you're asking this about Minimalism specifically. There are already wide coverage parsers based on various generative frameworks (e.g. HPSG, LFG, CCG).

It's also a bit odd to suggest that any framework for which there isn't a wide coverage parser lacks any relevance outside linguistics departments. I know of lots of examples of cross-disciplinary work involving generative linguistics, but most of it doesn't relate to parsing at all. I'd say that wide coverage parsers are actually a pretty niche interest, which is one reason why people don't tend to work on them much.
While it's not something I agree with in principle, you do know that doing such a thing outside of the specific Four-Factor Fair Use test is an instance of Copyright Infringement? I'm not happy with the way the law is written, but I don't think this avenue is altruistic in the least.

There is, that wasn't it. The reason it didn't catch on was lack of a free version during the period of time it could have taken off. It cost a fortune and was competing with languages that were free to developers, Java took off instead.

This strikes me as completely the wrong way to make decisions. If you're taking it as a given that you're a top performer in a common field, then yeah. You might as well assume you're a billionaire and argue how many doors that opens for you.

But you're not a top performer in a common field until you've committed years of effort to not being a top performer in that field. And you can hardly argue that the world is a worse place because someone wanted to be the world's best yodeler instead of the best truck driver.

As long as the target you're optimizing for is different than what those 100 of PhD's (and most of the market) are optimizing for then maybe you've got a chance. You also don't need to pay their salary.

So I agree wrt/ to longer time periods. Most of those PhD's are probably trying to predict minute to minute moves, or daily moves. A lot of them would be out of a job if they lose over 90 day periods.

Not sure how much of an edge can be gained over buying and holding some reasonably diverse equity portfolio. If anyone is thinking they'll beat some HFT hedge fund they're almost certainly not going to. If they're thinking of beating a reasonably diverse/optimized portfolio over longer terms that's maybe possible IMO but the difference isn't going to be huge. To amplify the difference requires taking on more risk, for example by leveraging, options etc.

If I want to decide whether long term investing in the US vs. Turkey, Greece, Brazil, Russia, or the UK, or gold :) it's not clear machine learning can give me useful insight. The historical data has its limits. Predicting geo-political processes and things like interest rates for the long term seems like a very difficult problem. I would suspect the machine answer to this question would be something like P/E is lower so it's a good investment but who knows. So I agree with the economic/market insight comment as well.
It obviously was sarcastic and doesn't deserve the down-votes. If you offered me the deal of exchanging my life today for the life of a "1%er" N years ago, I'd take it for N up to 50, maybe even more, at least back to when penicillin was discovered.

Caller ID can be spoofed rather easily. This will only lead to more spoofing.

And are political calls and surveys considered spam? I certainly consider them spam.
The problem with your initial paragraph is that you assume making derivative content is legal in one's own home, DMCA not withstanding. Outside of "actual" Four-Factor Test Fair Use, it's infringement. Making a device to enable it is highly suspect as a motivation for an outright repeal of the legislation.

You do know the app you describe wouldn't be illegal under the DMCA if your program was licensed by the rights holders, right? That's what we're getting to here. If Huang's post described how he went about trying to negotiate and make deals with the content providers his device wants to piggy back on, and they were terrible in response, that's a different game - I'd be a lot more sympathetic then, no doubt. Show me where he did the due diligence and crunched the numbers, really!

It certainly doesn't change the basis of argument being asinine when realistically DMCA protections don't get in the way of day-to-day Fair Use. It just takes some effort, not buying some Bunnie Studios box off the shelf so he can make a profit. That's what is so stupid about trying to digitally steamroll protections - any time a human can SEE or HEAR something they can find a way to jack it and do something. It's just reality.

I hope I have not misinterpreted your position.

> We're almost certainly going to discover less palatable differences between races -- e.g. around intelligence.

I read that as "we are almost certainly going to discover, for example, that some races are more intelligent than other races". From this statement it follows that we will be able to prove that some races are "more intelligent" and some races are "less intelligent", thus it seems fair to conclude that you're asserting that the genetic factors that cause someone to fall into a specific racial category predisposes them to a certain level of intelligence. From that position we can conclude that if an individual displays the phenotypic traits that meet the definition of one of the less intelligent races, it follows that this individual would be genetically predisposed to less intelligence, also known as stupidity.

I do notice that you said "almost certainly", not "inevitably" so I apologize for that, but please let me know if I have otherwise misinterpreted your position.

Cell or landline?

I've had a Google (Voice) number for... hard to even say now, 8 years? And i.. well, i think i've only gotten a few calls to that number, ever.

In fact, i have a normal cell number (i don't link my google and cell provider numbers), and i get texted spam to it maybe twice a year, but i can't recall anything really.. ever, to my Google number.

To my knowledge i don't have any anti-spam settings enabled on Google Voice (though, they do exist). I wonder what the root cause for this is?

I often forget that "in this day and age", call spam is still an issue.
Agreed. A very strong reason to be wary of new technology is that usually new technology is terrible for the first few generations. It only gets good once it's been around for a while. If you had to re-fuel your refrigerator with kerosene every few hours and there was a non-negligible risk that it would explode, you wouldn't be so eager to have one. When it's a simple matter of plugging it into the wall and paying a few cents a day for electricity, it's a no-brainer.

And this raises the question on what's happens if Google suspects you to be a spammer.
A particular perk for me here, is that I am a bit of a packrat, and if I have books or magazines I will keep them, even if they get to be hilariously old. The exception to this is if I can find them in a digital form that won't run me broke. I can trade a pile of paper magazines now for a small cache of PDF files. :D

Same here. I own about 50 domains and I've not had privacy on many of them. My Google voice number, which is also my business number, is listed on these domain contacts and I get more spam phone calls than regular calls on that.

As a veteran of one algo shop, I have this to say:

Play with the data all you like. Don't try to trade on it if you don't really know what you're doing. (Or, just recklessly trade other people's money. It's fun.)

What you're seeing here is the "napsterization of finance." (Google it, it will lead you to the article I am almost plagiarizing).

Basically, the market at large puts together a pot of money (called "alpha", debatably) The better you are at trading, the more of that pot you get.

BUT this is not a zero sum game. It's worse.

If the markets are functioning properly, then the better you are a this, the bigger the share of the pot you get, AND the smaller the pot of money gets.

It used to be that middlemen like the NYSE stock market specialists made very large amounts of money doing what Homer Simpson automated with a drinky bird. Now, the also shops have already shrunk that pot considerably. Good news for your pension fund. Bad news for you if you try this yourself. So don't.

> It seems too unlikely that any minimally viable genetic molecule could assemble by pure chance

We don't need to jump from abiotic to minimal self-sustaining life as we define it today. We can have intermediate steps of funky proto-life chemistry that only work under very specific, local conditions, feeding of abundant molecules and being aided by some other abiotically created catalysts. Molecules might not even start with self-replicating directly, some might just indirectly catalyze their own precursor molecules and then self-assemble to 99% junk, 1% similar to itself.

You also consider that it did not have other organisms to compete with. Even very low success rates at synthesizing precursor molecules or self-replication would still outcompete any process that has zero or negative feedback.

Asked for it in the initial interview. I thought I was going to give back a day in negotiation and do 4d/w, but it didn't come up. I figured I could always come back after and ask for more hours if I need the money or couldn't fill the time.

I have heard of exactly two other devs at 3d/w in the last 5 years so I wouldn't pin any hopes on that, but there's plenty of people at 4d/w.
