While geography isn't quite everything, it does speak for a great deal.

Thinking of single-factor determinants (or criticising arguments on that basis) is insipid. And yet somehow we accept it in other fields -- economics and its devolution of everything to simple matters of capital and labour comes to mind.

I've found much of Diamond's work to be quite illuminating and useful. I find his critics, most particularly those claimi global fault, cavil and singularly unpersuasive.

I don't think it is a big concern so long as the risks are acknowledged and contracts are in place. Apple outsources production of its Apple Ax SoCs to Samsung too.

Yea, using repartition and coalesce had the same result on my output.
Check your profile settings. There should be one called "Showdead." Turn it to "yes."

If it is already at "yes," then you may have just not noticed because it looks similar to when someone's comment has been flagged to death or downvoted into the negatives.
A few examples:

- Foundations of tall building must go to bedrock - not true.

- Large buildings settling is unusual - not true.

- Earthquake safety has been compromised in this case - not true.

The structural engineering of tall buildings is complex. Multiple large engineering firms were involved in the design and construction of this building.

Curbed (owned by Vox BTW) took the SF Cronicle article and cut out the more reasonable paragraphs (such as that same Stanford they quoted saying he "doesn’t consider the sink or tilt a safety issue".).. And of course the Chron article already probably skewed it to make it more exciting.

I always shake my head when I read article on a subject that I happen to be be an expert. I'm sure experts in the engineering of these sorts of projects could teach us alot about this situation.
Yeah, the topic point is a good one here. Some stuff (like the aforementioned politics, religion, controversial issues, anything 'illegal') tend towards lower quality discourse partly due to the demographics that use said sites.

Meanwhile, something fairly benign or less popular will tend to draw a much more civil audience.

Seattle, WA (no remote) / Full-time / hiring full-stack web software engineers, senior electrical engineers, UI/UX designers and more... http://www.glowforge.com

We're building a low-cost CNC laser cutter/engraver that can create beautiful products in wood, leather, paper, food, and more. We are a fifth the cost of comparable products because we've offloaded much of the functionality to software. Our cloud backend that does motion planning and machine vision to make it dead simple to use. Push a button, out come flat-pack wallets, lamps, board games, and anything else you can dream up.

We're up in Seattle, just closed a $22M Series B from Brad Feld and True Ventures, and have ~35 employees. The three founders have manufactured hardware, sold companies, graduated YC, and built profitable businesses. Check out this article about us:
https://techcrunch.com/2016/08/01/glowforge-raises-22-millio...

Our greatest need right now is web software engineers, but we're interested in passionate creators of all stripes. To learn more, check us out at glowforge.com/careers!

"With rates fixed by regulation, the only way to increase profit is to drive more."

That's the reason right there. The rates are totally set by regulation. The number of medallions is similarly set. If medallion rental cost were to go up or down by 20% this wouldn't affect whether the marginal ride would be worthwhile for the driver.
Yes! This is the inevitable outcome of the world of connectedness and giving a voice to the voiceless that we all wanted isn't it?

It comes off as overly cynical, but this seems to me to merely be the removal of a veil of ignorance about what people actually think and how they actually want to behave when they are either anonymous or not present physically (with the possibility of having their mirror neurons engaged, physical assault, in person shaming, etc).

If it wasn't obvious beforehand, then it must be obvious in retrospect that a culture war was the inevitable result right?

While I agree that the responsibility falls on the individuals taking part ... pragmatically isn't the outrage economy going to work for a long time? And the physiological tools for encouraging uncivil behaviour just going to keep getting better for a long time? I have my doubts that any significant percentage of people will be able to follow that path of individual responsibility when so many smart people are constantly trying to nudge them off of it using subtle methods the targets don't even understand.

Calls of "can't we all just get along", whether directed against physical violence or uncivil discourse, however correct, never seem to do much when the problem is occurring in a system that benefits from the opposite.
Who is not hiring?
I figured that the list of tech companies who's not hiring is much shorter than the list of companies who're hiring. So this is an optimization.

Getting a visitor's permit is (or maybe was — I don't know about the situation of last 2-3 years) relatively straightforward even for foreign tourists. That's in Russia, I don't know much about China.

Having grown up in relatively closed city of Omsk, Russia, I knew (like every other boy of my age) the exact coordinates of probable nuclear strikes in case of war (ICBM silos perimeter, tank production plant officialy known as transport machinery plant, nuclear weapons maintenance plants etc.) All of which were supposedly secret, but everyone knew everything anyway.
Yea, I applied to Compose a while back. After they described their interview process to me, I said "No thanks."

That's something I'd never done before. In the past, even if I found a company's interview process to be dehumanizing and insulting, I still went through with it. Even if I wasn't desperate for a job. I just hated to say no.

Thank you, Compose, for presenting me with a hiring process so absurd it forced me to step outside of my comfort zone and grow just a little bit more as a person :)
Before the for loop starts printing out the same beleagured points about Holmes, I think it is important to recognize how many people work hard at Theranos.

The medical indistry has been dodgy as fuck (no excuse) but also technically illiterate. My personal hypothesis is that because America and many other nations require so much education to become a doctor, there is little time to learn about programming/tech.

However, the point is, they made some pretty bad mustakes but this is why we have venture capital. Theranos is 13 years old. It irritates me when outrage manifests as an I told you so. So much has been learned between 03 and now, that to come in at the height of an obvious scandal and pour on like they are building angry birds pisses me off. I hope they succeed.

If Holmes did something horrible and the internals of the company rot out, and the tech fails, that sucks. BUT, I hope VCs still step up and take big bets like this because these are gge ideas that change the world. In fact, if on balance, the company only fails because of bad bysiness and ethical decisions, the outpouring of talent and tech into the space could be great.

tl;dr I would rather try and miss on a big bet, than win on a tiny one.

There's basically 4 different kinds of traffic you'll see coming out of the browser when you're viewing the admin portal.

JNAP Calls - These are used to get or set configuration settings on your router. They'll always be aimed at 192.168.1.1 (or wherever your gateway is) If you're managing your router through a cloud interface, the POSTS will be directed towards linksyssmartwifi.com

Internet Connectivity Heartbeats - These are used to figure out if you have an active internet connection. They'll be aimed at connect.linksys.com

Speedtest Requests - These requests are used to provide support for the speed test functionality. They're typically aimed at linksys.ookla.com or linksysconnect.speedtest.net and are only used to download the flash object that performs the speed test

GUI/html Requests - These are GET requests used to build the html page, aimed 192.168.1.1

However if you set up a cloud account and use the remote admin interface to change your router's settings, youll see lots of WAN-side traffic to the Linksys cloud.
> The big argument against intelligent life being common (and us not being unique) is the existence of stars. No civilization more advanced than us is going to let stupendous amounts of energy go to waste in the form of star light. If you assume von Neumann probes and Dyson spheres are possible, then star light is incompatible with the existence of advanced technology.

What about undetected energy aka dark energy.

> Just one factor contributing to this stability is the need for a very large moon to keep the axis of rotation stable over billion of years. If the Earth didn't have its moon the Earth's axis would tip over creating massive climatic change. The more we look at the universe the more unlikely the stability of Earth's climate looks.

I have heard this argument but I don't buy it compared to the need for asteroid protection. Things can get various like climate living underground/water. One of the critical things about our solar system that made life happen with out having a mega earth planet with crushing gravity is the presence of Jupiter and Saturn.

Jupiter and Saturn were in our solar system at the right place and right time. This theory is called the "Grand Tack" [1] and was recently covered in Scientific America.

Needless to say Jupiter continuously protects us from asteroids and various other objects from colliding with us on a continuous basis and not our axis. [2]

Continuous asteroid collisions vaporize oceans and destroy atmospheres along with other various debilitating things.

I'm honestly surprised so many people on HN haven't heard of Quip.

I mean Bret Taylor is a pretty big name, and we've all known that he was working on Quip for a while. There are a bunch of Bay Area companies that use Quip and the Quip team made a big deal about the future of mobile word processing when they first came out.

I'd be less surprised if the general public was unaware, but interesting to see the surprise come from the HN crowd.
Recently after a 6 year hiatus from Django, I've experimented migrating a smallish flask API and wholly cow did the Django API get CLEANER. Like my god people talk about Django as if it hasn't changed in 6 years but it feels to me like many of the warts got removed and it's just down right pleasant to work with. I love Flask but there is just a little too much boiler plate when you compare it to modern Django for even small projects (IMO).

DRW is hiring SOFTWARE ENGINEERS in CHICAGO for ONSITE employment. (DRW also has offices in other cities, including London, Montreal, New York, and Singapore. Other roles are also available.)

https://drw.com/careers/listings

I work in software engineering in Chicago, so that is what I know about. We are looking for people who care deeply about programming. We write systems that last for years so we strive for good design, extensibility, and maintainability.

DRW is a proprietary trading company with no outside investors or customers.

The interview process for SEs is thorough. It will include a phone screen, a take-home exercise, and a multi-hour on-site including pair programming.
Completely agree, I tried Atom and VSCode but they are nowhere near (in performance) to Sublime. The only thing is it's not open source, but I can live with that.
Am I the only one that thinks its a good thing that we have a system in which this kind of a situation is possible? That they can host their entire infrastructure on their competitors product shows a level of trust on both sides that I find remarkable, and something we should definitely have more of.
I disagree: it's a site map for what you can do in a game and what you might find enjoyable. The achievements themselves aren't as important as seeing what experiences the game offers.
I think this is usually not "a thing" because cats don't cope with sudden changes of surroundings well, nor do they tend to coexist well with other cats that they didn't grow up around. The only case where I've seen cats in a workplace, it was a cat that lived at a small bookstore.

Also interesting are solutions using xpra, especially when are working over a remote connection. In this case you are not running X on the Mac, but a xpra client (a simple app).

There is no scenario in which a 350 million dollar skyscraper deemed "not a safety issue for residents" will be torn down so they can "try again". They'll find a way to stabilize it and that will be that. No one is going to tear down nearly half a billion dollars worth of skyscraper if there's any chance of salvaging it.

Well I definitely think that some computational theory of mind is correct. Of course the critical difference between computationalism and clockwork analogies is that we now have formal proof of just how general computation really is. I don't believe that the embodied human mind is capable of more computation than a UTM.

That being said, comparing the brain, any animal's brain, to a commercial Intel or AMD processor is very misleading.

And I guess it's fitting that I compared the brain to a machine we don't yet know how to build...
Or in other words, the (rather ridiculous) idea of there being 'no bad behaviours, only bad targets'. Which often gets applied by zealots and trolls as 'destroy the opponent and their social life in any way possible'.
RateIt | https://www.rateitapp.com | Full Time | REMOTE

We're looking for a Full-Stack C# / ASP.NET Web Developer. RateIt is an Australian led start-up which is focused on helping retailers consistently deliver great customer experiences. We're looking for someone with strong experience with C#, ASP.NET MVC & Web API, Entity Framework, and SQL Server and strong experience with front-end SPA development - we use Backbone/Marionette but you don't have to have worked this -- use of other similar frameworks (ie. React, Angular, Ember, etc.) is fine.

We already have several world class customers such as Bose, Pandora, Calvin Klein, Samsung as well as Hospitals and Hotels using RateIt.

Our team are all remote – so we either work from home, a co-working space or a mix of both. If you're interested in working with us email me at neil@rateitapp.com
I'd be interested to see how many large companies have the courage to switch their databases after they've reached a "mature" stage as a company. My guess is a very small number have the technical expertise in order to make it worth doing in the first place, meaning in many cases the database the CEO picked when it was him in a basement learning to code for the first time is the one used in production many years later.

My best runs using our proprietary tokenizers and much more training data (tens of thousands of tweets, reviews, and open source training data), yield results of:
87-93% accuracy while rating 50-70% of the data. I.e. If the classifier isn't "confident" then it doesn't rate the data.

I'll run a quick test to demonstrate it's absolute accuracy. Though it definitely performs more than well enough to use in production, and is relatively little effort. It especially performs well in aggregate stats (>99% accuracy)
This is true. My allergies to cats are so severe that it would literally be a deal-breaker for me. I couldn't accept a job in an office with cats and I would have to quit if someone started bringing one to work.

You are missing a very important part of historic reality - pro-discrimination laws. Prior to the Civil Rights Act, we had a lot of local/state level economic regulation designed to prevent a race to the bottom (e.g. whites being forced to compete economically with colored folk) and to prevent greedy businessmen from acting against the public interest.
