How do you justify to the client charging per page? What about page complexity? Like an about me page vs an interactive map.
I get Option 3 by using uBlock Origin in advanced mode. In order to make any cross-domain requests, even for images, I have to whitelist that particular domain1->domain2 combination.

>> We consistently overestimate progress in the short run and underestimate in the long.

You can't overestimate the economic pressures on progress as well.

Remember in 2007 when everybody thumbed their noses at hybrid and electric vehicles in the US? Ford was still pumping out record numbers of their behemoth Excursion model.

Then the economy crashed, and people suddenly needed a fuel efficient car and then they all traded in their SUV's for what? Toyota Prius' which were an after thought a few years prior - in the span of 18 months, Toyota couldn't keep them on the lot.

I can see one or more catastrophic disasters where there is a sudden need for AI to rescue the human race in some capacity. Think nuclear war, environmental disaster, biological catastrophe, etc.
Pretty sure the tiger has intent on eating something...
It's not just CS degree students who are applying. Code camps are pumping out junior programmers who are applying to every job listing they can find. It used to be you sifted through 10 resumes before finding 1 good one. I'm told that number has increased to 100 to find 1 good one.

Now, I don't know for sure if that's hyperbole or not, but that's the impression I'm getting from talking to hiring managers.
for the proxy are you using NGINX with Lua?
> To prevent anything like this happening in the future, we added a message recipient limit to Exchange – the server now has the ability to enforce a site-wide limit on the number of recipients in a single email message, which neatly prevents this from being a problem in the future.

Seems like they added a limit instead of fixing the actual problem.
Yeah. The URL is still name.blogspot.com. But now they call it Blogger.
You are missing the point completely.

Of course there were people who believed that Go would be able to beat humans. Just as today there are people who believe that AI can be a treat.

But it wasn't a majority of people who believed Go would be able just as it isn't a majority who believes AI can be a threat.

I.e. just because the majority believe something doesn't mean it will be so (or vice versa)
True it doesn't solve the problem of not having statistics on the values, but it does bring the query response time down to the same order of magnitude as the non-JSON table.
How to Demonstrate a Paul Trap
well it doesn't get more "middle brow" than your vacuous meta non-comment. Actually the reality is that it's being downvoted because being anti-google is not a popular stance amongst the tech set, even if there is, as this poster seems to suggest, merit to the logic.
Correct. There's a misunderstanding by many. Many believe that HR is there for the employees, which is not the case. HR exists to serve and protect the company. Squealing to HR about problems isn't likely to help an employee, it's more likely to put them on the chopping block.
Parent comment is referring to the PoC created here. The PoC creator would have to wait for TTL to expire each time for all of 127.0.0.1/8 as opposed to just having to wait for one TTL to expire to set it to just 127.0.0.1.
I noticed that I am running redis-server in the background on my mac...but I have no idea what started it. I'm not doing any relevant development at the moment, and haven't in months.

How can I trace the source and ensure it doesn't restart on reboot?
Sure but it doesn't need to be as smart as humans to hurt us and neither do AI it just needs to be everywhere.

There is a great deal of both law and precedent against perfect privacy in financial transactions, because of the strong association between such perfect privacy and criminality, and the very effective cover which the former affords the latter.

Perhaps you feel the case should be otherwise. That's reasonable. But it is also a wildly heterodox view not generally sympathetic to those who are not already privacy absolutists or likely to become so, and you may find it worth your while to consider whether this particular hill is the one you want to die on.

They are all "obvious" points but are they? I see the same things described here all over the HN monthly hiring pages.
Thank you! I'm very newbish on this stuff, but I'm trying to learn.
Just some wild guesses:

First explosion related to second stage (upper).
Second explosion related to first stage's fuel igniting (I was expecting some much bigger, but likely there was already little oxygen left in that area and why it burned for so long.
Third Explosion was the satellite's internal fuel (Hydrazine or something like it) detonating due to the fall damage and contact with the rest of the flame.

Mindflash | Palo Alto, CA | Full-Time | Remote or Onsite | US Citizen or Green Card only

We are a small edtech company (~30 people) by El Camino & Page Mill Road in Palo Alto looking to ramp up our engineering team by up to 5 solid mid-level/senior full-stack engineers.

Our company has been around since 1999, and remained small while only having ever raised a seed & Series A round with a single investor. Our product is a learning management system (LMS), which allows our clients to educate their users. It was recently ranked #4 in Fortune's most flexible workplaces[1], and I have the pleasure of saying that this is the best company I have worked at thus far due to the combination of excellent management/executives, and tremendous work-life balance enjoyed by all, as well as ample opportunity to move technology forward. In addition, we have better gender balance at the company than most in the area, including in engineering - we strive to be inclusive, although primarily we just want people who are awesome to work with, including being considerate to others.

We have a smart & burgeoning engineering group that is working on some interesting problems. Our tech stack includes Node.js (v4), Angular 1 & 2, MySQL, Elasticsearch, & Jenkins, as well as Selenium with Java 8 on the QA automation side. There is a lot of opportunity across the stack to touch many different areas to make improvements. We are open to trying different technologies as well, and have a culture of writing tests for our code. We strike a great balance of keeping product quality high while creating the ability to address technical debt, and get raving reviews from our clients for ease of use.

We are willing to relocate able candidates, or allow working remote if the candidate is willing to work roughly standard Pacific time working hours (9 am - 5 pm PT).

Our interview process generally involves no whiteboarding or live coding, and instead focuses on experience & ability to design software while working on a team.

Please contact me at wesley.cho(at)mindflash.com if interested in more details - no recruiters please, I will not respond.

Get Involved – World Relief Modesto
EA/AI stock trading platform build upon NodeJS.

Currently got few weeks of works done, mostly focused on the Back testing part.

I focus a lot on performance, it's all native es6 (Classical inheritance / Promise / Events based). For example, I made some scripts that turn tick data to binary Float64 files, and the core platform gets benchmarks on every change.

I have done a far bit of Metatrader and tries a full JS platform before some years ago.. But learned a lot and just starting again :)

Ideally the platform is multi functional.. You can use it primarily for automatic trading, but manual trading is also possible. You can host it your self, run it local, or build a SaaS around it.

Let me know if you are a die-hard JS developer, both backend as Frontend is welcome :) experience with 2D canvas (not highcharts, too slow) and /or D3 etc, that's more than welcome.

Thanks
I worked for decades for great employers but I don't recall asking for a raise except once where I'd prenegotiated it as a condition of signing on [at 6 months => go to market rate].

It just wasn't worth the hassle to me to negotiate when I could just go to another company that valued me more. There was nothing keeping the employers I left from proactively giving me a raise.
No one really knows, there was a paper by Max Tegmark on HN yesterday with some new ideas and results, but I haven't had time to read it yet. http://arxiv.org/abs/1608.08225

The other responses to your question in this thread are as good I as could give you, but I would feel like I am recounting ideas that may be true but for which there is little evidence.
Curiously enough I've been using this thing I discovered here on HN a while back called Nuclino for this sort of stuff.

I've rather enjoyed it, though one downside is that it's only 80% portable for me. as in I can't really be bothered to use it with my phone and using it while hiking is a no-go for obvious reasons.

All well and good, that's why I keep Field Notes around for.
The HN moderation staff has a difficult job which they do exceedingly well, and in a thoroughly nuanced fashion. Were this otherwise, discourse here would differ little in quality from what, for example, Reddit provides in such abundance.

I appreciate you feel strongly that you can tell HN's moderators how to do their jobs even better. Consider the possibility that this may not be the case.
War is, or should be, an extreme case where the ability to live under a legitimate set of laws is threatened. Both our optional wars of aggression, and mass surveillance are lawless acts, and acts against the people. The reason people find such a sentence offensive is that they find our government has lost the legitimacy it takes to impose such a sentence on a non-violent crime.
That's being rewarded for 'finding the correct job' not performance.

> Up next week: "The Lost Art Of Rote Memorization".

Rote memorization is actually very useful; frankly, I think that its abandonment as a pedagogical tool is partially to blame for modern students' appalling lack of education.

Sometimes you gotta recite 'amo, amas, amat' over and over until you've got it right.
It's a surprise-free document. It could have read roughly the same in 1985, but different technologies would have been mentioned.

The big change in AI is that it now makes money. AI used to be about five academic groups with 10-20 people each. The early startups all failed. Now it's an industry, maybe three orders of magnitude bigger. This accelerates progress.

Technically, the big change in AI is that digesting raw data from cameras and microphones now works well. The front end of perception is much better than it used to be. Much of this is brute-force computation applied to old algorithms. "Deep learning" is a few simple tricks on old neural nets powered by vast compute resources.
Wow. That must have been absolutely maddening to discover.

> I often hear that short periods of time spent at jobs is a negative signal to hiring managers but I seldom hear anyone actually point to it as the reason they weren't hired for a job.

Would the candidate know it if that was the reason? Do hiring managers usually give truthful feedback or generic platitudes?

I'm genuinely wondering, it occurs to me now I've never been turned down after an interview, or fired.
interesting highlights:

1:23 you can see the sat fairing fall from the stack, and then a secondary explosion when it hits the ground (presumably sat propellant)

3:24 second explosion with a fairly fast projectile coming out the top. Any clue as to what that is?
You forgot the rest of that quote: "...based on the same method of intensive analysis—brute force, basically—that Deep Blue employed for chess."

While IQ is a blunt instrument, saying giftedness doesn't matter is like saying money doesn't matter. It doesn't, but it does.

Compare the purchasing power and variety of options for solving problems of a millionaire to someone who earns low hundreds of thousands a year. Compare those to that of a billionaire.

Then compare how someone who inherited the money to someone who saved it, and again to someone who got it as part of an exit.

Intelligence is analogous to money this way in that you can acquire it from inheritance and upbringing, slog through work/academia and study, or get it as the result of drive and experience/risk.

Someone who had money who becomes poor is a different kind of poor, and someone who is poor who becomes wealthy is a different kind of rich.

Giftedness is a kind of class that has its own pitfalls and outcomes. When you have money, like intelligence, it's not something you think about much, even if it is weirdly revered by a lot of other people.

A lot of people think they could solve a lot of their problems if they were only richer or more intelligent, but when you are rich or intelligent, you realize quickly that these are not so much solutions as they are excuses that keep their circumstances bearable.

The first explosion is the smaller second stage igniting. The second, bigger explosion is the first stage exploding. The first stage has most of the mass of the rocket in the form of propellant and is what SpaceX lands on the barge after it separates from the second stage. The second stage is smaller and lighter, and puts the satellite into low earth orbit, or into its transfer orbit in the case of higher orbits (eg geostationary orbit).

The 'nose' falling is payload and its protective fairing. The idea of a fairing is to protect the the satellite from aerodynamic, heat and acoustic stress. It explodes because the satellite has propellant in it - certainly for its rcs system for attitude adjustment and station keeping, and it might have a main engine to help it reach orbit.

> It's not a witch hunt.

This is the very definition of a witch hunt. Vague accusations were made to provoke emotional us-vs-them tribalism. The problem with that is not only how it unfairly pre-judges the accused; it also obscures and confuses any legitimate accusations.

Not wanting to involve a state is fine, and very understandable when the situation involves organizations that the state considers a threat. However, not involving a state doesn't mean anything-goes anarchy is the solution either. An alternative system should have been used, if the goal was justice instead of vengeance and witch hunts. The accused needs to be able to face their accuser and rebut the accusations.

> targeted by governments, including Jake himself

Regardless of everything else, that alone should be enough of a reason to be particularly careful with any accusations and follow a formal judicial process (which may not involve a state) with pedantic accuracy.

> what one of the victims wants

There is a lot of talk about justice and creating new systems to handle social problems. Unless I'm missing something, there is zero discussion about verifying the accusation.

Nobody likes the state judicial system, but there's a reason it exists. Without some method of fairly handling accusations, we are left without closure and a divided community filled with suspicion and mistrust.

"We have found our Kobiyashi-Maru."

edit:

I'll interpret multiple unexplained down votes as yet more evidence of a witch hunt. Hint: I haven't take a position on anybody's guilt or innocence.
So you're specifying an empty set. There has never been a large program that's been completely formally proven -- not a single one -- and there are therefore no methods that work. The small programs that have been mostly proven, took such a great effort, that their creators wouldn't say that the approach "works" in any widely applicable way.
"For datasets with many optional values, it is often impractical or impossible to include each one as a table column."

Honest question - what settings would many optional values be impractical or impossible? Is it purely space/performance constraints? If so, it doesn't sound like JSONB gives you wins in either of those cases.
