It goes the other way too. The older I get, the less inclined I am to work for any company. I just no longer believe in really any corporate mission. I'm not inclined to work hard for anyone except me. Most companies seem to be doing things that are either uninteresting or trivial or silly.

I was super ambitious and worked super hard for other people when I was younger and now why the heck should I do that for some other company?

> they don't do science missions
true, but they do R&D like most large for-profit entities. However I agree with you that the comparison is not compelling. R&D is not SpaceX's main objective, hence the situation described doesn't compare to a scientific mission where you send a lander on a comet and you actually get the data from the lander.
Presumably because at some point Bootstrap 3 will stop getting bug fixes. Historically, what has been their end-of-life policy?

When the topic of child porn comes up, emotion takes over and logic goes away.

One of the largest problems with child porn is the actual definition of child porn. To most people when they hear of child porn, they think of a Person under the age of puberty being forced to engage in a sex act with an adult person.

However 2 17 year olds having sex and video taping it is also child porn, they can (and have been) charged with producing, and distributing said child porn

Many many many teens were arrested and convicted before states starting passing exceptions to the law, and many states today it is still illegal for a 17year old person to send a nude photo of themselves to another 17year old person, haven forbid a 17 year and 364 day old person send picture to a 17 year and 366 day year old person....

Oh god, those garbage bags. I remember a few winters ago, our street got clobbered on garbage day and giant piles of old garbage bags sat underneath a layer of snow for about a month. When the feet of snow covering the garbage bags finally started to melt we had a nice little bubbling stream of garbage downhill for a few days...

Monsoon: An Explicit Token-Store Architecture [pdf]
Eh, if you're just auditing the class, maybe. When I was in college they made me retake ridiculous prereqs for the most trivial of reasons every time I transferred, allowed no exceptions to these, and personal requests to professors to get out of them were completely ignored. The prereqs were enforced by the computerized registration system - good luck getting past them without a waiver.

As one anecdote, they once told me I needed to retake intro physics. On the pretest given on the first day of class, I came within one problem of a perfect score. Didn't make a lick of difference - their syllabus differed from the last university in the most minor of ways, and despite the fact that the class never actually covered even 50% of the stuff it claimed to on the syllabus, I was made to retake the entire sequence anyway.
Good call, that definitely seemed like a high figure relative to what I recalled. That actually looks even better for an individual laborer! 50k looks much better
IBM Data Science Experience
Interesting answer, but I see I should have been more specific in my question. I want to know what the TV and radio stations are saying about global climate change. That is because they are puppets of the Putin government, and so I assume that whatever they are saying about GCC is what the Putin government believes, or at least wants the public to believe.
I wish they refunded long term mass transport tickets that are in consistent use like this... Would be much more environmentally friendly.
New York City is a great place to be old and either healthy or rich. Otherwise, you run into problems not addressed in the article - such as the tremendous lack of handicapped access in the subways.

We lived at 145th on the ABCD line. There's precisely one escalator that takes you from the lowest platform to the mezzanine, skipping the mid-level platform in between. Then there are stairs to get to street-level. There are no elevators. So when my father, in his 70s, came to visit us, he had a hell of a time getting down the stairs. We ended up specifically planning trips so that we would arrive on the lower platform, so we could take the escalator.

All the walking does have health benefits, but if you're not capable of it, you better live near some accessible stations, or you end up being reliant on cars and access-a-ride (which, granted, I know nothing about - maybe it's fantastic.)

Having typed all that, I'd rather be old and feeble here than, say, in Dallas, where I have to drive, until I'm no longer able to, and then have to rely on others for transportation. I'd gladly take a 20-minute journey down a stairwell that takes others 20 seconds for the freedom it would afford me.
That's a fair point. That's like saying "we have the best medical facilities in the world for any treatment imaginable, but the hospital is five miles away. How will we carry you there in time to be treated?"
Call this an unfair generalization if you must, but old people are no good at everything.

It's true that there are a lot of inaccessible subway stations, but at the same time you're much more likely to be able to go about 90% of your life just walking around your neighborhood—restaurants, grocery, doctors, etc, all within a 10 minute walk is pretty standard in Manhattan.

Same here, for the most part - but I live in a coop, and I fully expect that 90% of its residents plan on retiring either in their current apartment, or moving to a slightly cheaper place and subletting their current apartment to pay for the rent.

The neighbors across from us bought two units over two decades ago, and joined them. They're a couple with two teenaged kids, and what is almost certainly a 3-bedroom apartment that will likely be paid off by the time the kids go off to college. I envy their awesome position :P
Then it's working as intended. The only unsolicited messages you get are ones that were paid for.
>For example, when your product is new, you may have 10 users, taking 10 courses in various permutations. You write your naive O(N^2) search and everything looks great, and you put your comment in. Everything is great for months, then you hit it big, and now you have 100 courses and 10,000 users and now you're dead. Thanks for your comment, it was really helpful!

You seem to think that it's inevitable that my O(n^2) function will become a problem, it won't. I'm using it in the context of tasks in a build system. There is no way that any human is going to have 100,000 tasks, 100,000 independent targets. It's not going to happen, so optimizing this now is completely pointless. The time savings on the CPU would literally never add up to the amount of extra time i'd spend on it.

But in the future let's say that the platform pivots and the dependency mapping system gets pulled out and used for something else, or we switch to another architecture where each file involved in the task becomes a "task" itself, now the chance that there are 100,000 tasks is not only possible, but pretty likely, and that O(n^2) algorithm is now a problem. Switching to something like a depth first search of the dependency tree and some creative use of tags could probably do the same job in linear time, but it adds complexity to the code, takes longer to develop, will be harder to test, and will provide 0 benefit to the codebase as it is.

You can see how optimizing for a possibility that the whole system might change purpose and that code is still there is a silly rabbit hole to go down. (how would you ever actually produce anything?)

>>and it might make life easier for someone in the future, so i'll do it.

>That's where I disagree. It really doesn't.

Then there is no harm no foul. Nobody is harmed by the extra comment, and life goes on. There isn't a scenario where a one-line comment explaining why the code is the way it is causes anyone an issue, so there's no reason to not do it.

But the point of the code is to give assurance to the future developer that the only reason why the code is that way is because there was no reason to optimize it that way at the time. On the other hand, if the algorithm is required to be O(n^2) (like in a maximum matching graph), then i'd put a comment explaining that it's needed. Again, it might be entirely useless (in which case, nobody loses anything), or it might help the dev skip over that in the preliminary searches and look deeper for where any possible speedups can be found, saving time and money.

If Donald Trump gave you millions to support as a black man, WWYD?
2 young black entrepreneurs from new york are Donald Trumps new plan to get black votes. The 2 entrepreneurs founded NovateurPYR.com, a platform used to bring together entrepreneurs with lawyers, investors, mentors, programmers, marketers, etc all locally. There platform has been helping people to pursue their dreams and bettering economies. Once Trump saw this, he immediately hopped the bandwagon and now are using those guys as pawns. Why would they decide to help Trump tho? Even if he offered me money i would never want to. America is getting crazier by the day.

Or perhaps someone should create a new festival that is more exclusive (but exclusive based on personality rather than how rich you are). No boring people who shut themselves in, no pretentious twats, no hooligans. Only creative, interesting people would be invited, and it would be completely free and very relaxed.
They definitely try their best to give every candidate as fair a shot as possible, but there's always going to be error. It becomes a question of what type of error hurts more, accidentally rejecting someone who's qualified or accepting someone who isn't. They reasonably believe the latter is significantly more dangerous.
Unlikely. This was the original paper : http://www.nature.com/nnano/journal/v3/n7/abs/nnano.2008.111... which is cited by about 1800 later papers.

The challenge is that CNT's are not used in quantity as asbestos is, and they aren't used in ways that allows them to enter the lungs easily. That said, there are interesting therapies that have used CNTs being studied.
The end game of government is all dark-room. Bills are written in secret by lobbying groups, treaties are negotiated and signed in secret, the TSA can arrest people through secret laws, more and more government lawsuits are in secret, we can withhold prisoners indefinitely in secret, the fact that a secret organization contacted you and demanded secret information is secret.

This isn't just TLAs, it's the entirety of government. Some bits and pieces are farther along than others, but it's all heading that way (same with local governments).

Edit: did I mention starting/conducting wars through secret re-interpretations of existing laws?

Edit 2: did I mention you can be prosecuted with secret evidence you and your lawyer aren't allowed to see?
there might be engineering constraints: does the frame need to be redesigned to store all the batteries? How is the 50/50 weight distribution affected? How is handling affected?

I think the differences in the drivetrain might be so much that they would need to create a fundamentally new car. It would have to be a new model.
Probably an even bigger problem is that this resume is now going to come up every time a recruiter searches for "design & frontend".

(This might not be a problem in France. Here in the San Francisco area in the U.S. it seems common for recruiters to blindly contact the first 200 developers whose resumes contain relevant keywords.)

> Strange that you claim we don't have data then proceed to make bold claims that Tesla isn't a luxury brand, with weak supporting arguments... or close to no supporting arguments at all upon second reading.

my feeling is that parent comment wasn't claiming that tesla wasn't a luxury brand but that it was a "cool upper-class" luxury brand. Now, obviously, this is a very slippery distinction, and as someone who probably wouldn't spend that much money on a car at all, sure, it looks like a meaningless distinction... but I don't think it is, I mean, to the people who might buy the car. Tesla, clearly, is a brand for people willing to spend a lot more than the minimum on transportation, so I do think it can properly be called a 'luxury brand', but I think parent's point was that Tesla is a luxury brand that appeals to people for whom other luxury brands wouldn't appeal. I do know several people who would be vaguely embarrassed to purchase a Benz, who would seriously consider the Tesla, mostly for social reasons... and when you get down to it, social reasons dominate for cars in that price range. Hell, I might be in that group? I mean, if I came into a huge amount of money tomorrow and was looking for a luxury car... I'd probably consider the Tesla to reflect more positively socially on me than a S class or something.

Tesla is different from BMW or Mercedes just like Cadillac is different from those brands. (I mean, it has yet to be seen if Tesla will make BMW and Mercedes obsolete the way that Acura and Lexus made Cadillac obsolete. But the point being that there are big differences between the people who might buy the different luxury brands, even when the price range is similar.)

Now, i don't know that parent is correct in saying that Tesla luxury appeals to more people than Benz or BMW luxury, or Acura or Lexus luxury, but I do think that parent is correct in that the overlap between people who would buy a Benz and people who would buy a Tesla is not 100%, even though they are priced similarly.
This explanation summarizes why tech companies lack diversity. Sampling bias at its best. This logic is a smart persons way of saying you only want to hire people similar to those you've already hired.

If I spend my grandmother's retirement fund on lottery tickets, maybe I'll win her a lot more money, maybe I won't -- should I try?

Of course the likelihood of effectiveness matters. As does the potential harm you're risking. What the article is arguing is that keeping the site up allowed for a much greater distribution of the photos -- to potentially many, many more individuals who continue to elude prosecution, and may continue to spread those photos themselves.

At the time the FBI took over the site, there were 11,000 weekly user logins. During the additional time they ran it, it grew to 50,000 weekly user logins. Out of a potential 50,000 individuals, the FBI is able to prosecute only 186. pavel_lishin is asking a fair question when he wonders if allowing a potential 39,000 additional individuals to download those photos and potentially distribute them elsewhere actually resulted in any additional prosecutions, and if so, is that number worth it compared to the (potentially massive) amount of additional distribution the FBI enabled?
Exactly. And then there is a long chain of dept. heads, managers and so on in there. There is no way they'll accept making less money than some developer, even if they happen to be very good.

Now if they wanted to be creative they could for example build more offices out in other parts of town, make them more accessible, more moderen, allow a lot more vacation time, say start at 6 weeks, allow sabaticals and so on. But I just don't see FBI going that route.

Are you sure? I'm building a cross platform desktop application at the moment. I briefly considered QML, but decided against it because I care about high-DPI support and native look & feel on Windows, and it seems like Qt Quick Controls 1 doesn't provide the former and Qt Quick Controls 2 doesn't provide the latter.

Because of this, I'm a bit disappointed that Qt 5.8 alpha doesn't have anything interesting for Qt Widgets users. Qt Widgets is the best cross-platform UI framework out there, but Qt Quick is, at least from my perspective, a bit mediocre.

I read that phrase as meaning the degrees of connection feature is a way to stop users receiving unsolicited messages, something which contributes to the reverse network effects the author talks about.

Having the paid, 'message indiscriminately' feature undermines that. So if the intention is to reduce unsolicited messages to reduce spam then it doesn't work.

I think the intention actually is to reduce spam from those who don't pay for it. So yes, working as intended.
I like the idea, although I'd probably choose a palette of, say, 30 colors, and hash the username mod 30 to determine the color. That way all the colors should be sufficiently contrasty.
Indeed, well you'll notice that on that thread, deep learning had been happening for a while yet every.single.post said recommendations were awful, worthless.

I think this is actually "cause for learning" rather than complaining. I think the OP gives a good analysis of the tradeoffs involved in creating content. I'm not sure if a deep learning system can make tradeoffs out of the box. Perhaps Google could consider non-zero sum game theory for this and use some of their lessons from AlphaGo.
My assumption would be that Google has a continuous stream of high-quality applicants to choose from, so they don't really lose much with false negatives, because they will simply end up hiring a different qualified candidate for the position. Every false positive on the other hand brings down the overall quality of their workforce.

There were three aspects to fixing the landing, to my understanding.

Legs keep it oriented, give a stable platform, and cushion the initial landing.

Top thruster pushes it into the surface, damping any bounce back from the impact.

Harpoons attach to the surface, affixing it permanently.

The top thruster was reported to not work at all, and the harpoons were unable to work by themselves. It's not clear if they would have worked if the top thruster was working as well.
