There can be a lot of trickiness in this. I worked on A/B testing framework at one of the big software cos and me and all my team had a masters or phd in math or stats. While 95+% of our job was data infrastructure and ETLs there is another dimension to making it work and be correct from a statistical point of view.

It's digital Charlie Work [0], that's why.

I really enjoy that kind of work but it is difficult to articulate your business value in that environment. The best thing is working closely with a data scientist/front-end dev who can deliver products to the analysts and executives that need the data and make sure that you get the credit for enabling new streams of data. But most of the time you are putting out someone else's dumpster fire.

One advantage of data engineering: unlike front-end work, there are few non-technical people who will have an opinion on how you are doing things and burden you with bikeshedding.

Same reason millions of offices still use Microsoft Windows. It is the brand. It doesn't matter how bad a product is as long as everyone around them is using it and it is viewed as a mark of success and money. Functionality is secondary, people are willing to adapt around it.

> I'm not voting against a candidate, i'm voting for one.

You shouldn't attach too much to the meaning of words. People give way too much emotional weight to the difference between "voting for" and "voting against", when the actual math behind the hood of the political system may well make them indistinguishable - and it's the math that matters.

By all means, vote third party if you believe this advances your goals! But however you vote, do so on the basis of objective math, not subjective meanings of words, or as a symbolic gesture. And in a FPTP system, the math is pretty clear - a vote for one is automatically a vote against all others - as are the consequences. If you believe that your goals are achievable, and their benefits will more than compensate the negative effect of other consequences, then it's justified. As a symbolic flipping of the middle finger, not so much.
Why do you contribute to AOO and not LO? On what basis should one decide to contribute to one or the other?

The fact that the original, unmodified article referred to data engineers as "janitors" pretty much says it all.

It's very analogous to front-office and back-office work in Investment Banking. "Data Scientist" are the front-office, with all the prestige, and "Data Engineers" are the back-office, doing a lot of the heavy lifting without nearly as much recognition.

In my opinion there shouldn't be a delineation. You shouldn't be a data scientist if you can't gather, process, and clean up your own data.

> First, Airbnb hosts are not "sharing" their homes. They're renting them out for financial profits.

Respectfully, I disagree. If you allow someone to stay in the home you live in while you're away, to sleep in your bed, to cook in your kitchen, drink from your cups, and so on, you are most definitely sharing your home. It doesn't matter if you profit or not for that to be true.

I know a lot of Airbnb hosts aren't doing this. They're renting out places they never lived in. There's a big difference.
Holding the door for the person behind me benefits the person behind me, which is why I do it. What I'm asking is precisely what benefit voting has for anyone--certainly not what benefit it has for myself. Neither of your points address this in any way I can see, although I get the impression you believe they do and would appreciate if you expanded on them.

Also note that I'm not concluding that it is false that I should vote. I spent more time in my comment puzzling over how exactly I should vote--which I think is clearly not as straightforward as "vote for the candidate I would prefer wins", since my probability of changing that is so much smaller than say changing the winner of the popular vote.

Try to get the interviewer comfortable and realaxed and then just ask them about their job and the position that you are interviewing for. I've found that 90% of the time you can get a pretty decent feel of a company after having a relaxed conversation with a few employees. I've found if you go in with a bunch of canned questions they just answer with canned answers.

OP said "The idea of the host (who was prejudice against OP's wife) receiving my money was galling".

OP wasn't complaining about the discrimination, he was complaining about _doing business with the person who discriminated_.

Wildly different things.

Laws (or rules) don't exist in a vacuum, and blindly following them is dumb. If a company rolls out a bad rule, you can either follow it, ignore it, or try to change it.

Just because it exists means nothing.

So is fasting :) Some researches that I've heard of suggest that after the initial significant drop in a total number of lymphocytes, about 2 weeks after the blood donation body will restore the previous immunological status. This is obviously done by generating new leukocytes, which is similar to the effect of fasting: when you start eating normal after the fasting period body will regenerate it's blood cells. The suggested gain here is not "a boost" of immune system, but getting rid of damaged, mutated cells.
I'm not sure I want to be around someone whose worldview was molded by Dark Souls.
Sadly what I have found is almost anything worth knowing is not possible to know early on.

Curtains fall after 6 months and that's when you know some real info.

Especially true if the company/team is not a large or well known one so you can't read reviews or anything.

Mostly turns into a gamble at that point.

> I really think US is now getting to a completely different extreme - why should be whites and men so severely disadvantaged?

We're not. Claims to the contrary are indicative of self-adopted persecution complexes and mistaken beliefs in zero-sum sociology. Source: straight white male in one of the most liberal parts of the United States and doing just fine.
Seems rather silly to discriminate against 4x people.

Correct me if i'm wrong, but most things great about computers were created by people who are now older than 40.

Can people name a few important technologies that were created by someone younger than 40?

And if you want to have your company bought, who will be buying? People who are older than 40! (except for FB)

This is really impressive, until you look at, say, SICP's metacircular evaluator, or McCarthy's original implementation of Lisp.

I, personally, am not arguing that discrimination isn't wrong (though some other threads have clarified the actual legality). I'm just saying that the methods Airbnb has chosen to prevent said discrimination also make it impossible for me to host and those methods are shaky at best.

My point is that they shouldn't delete the viruses though. Someone going through the archives probably won't open a random executable from a zip file they stumble across, but a security researcher might want to examine the kinds of malware the leak subject might be exposed to. This is especially the case given we have no idea how many parties (and which parties) had access to these servers.
> Libreoffice (LO) and Apache Open Office (AOO) both existed at a point in time of the fork, when a portion of the governed (in this case the developers) withheld their assent to the impositions by AOO and started LO.

I'm sorry, but this is wrong. LibreOffice was started almost a year before AOO. Take a look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LibreOffice#History for details.

In a FPTP system with no "none of the above" option and no turnout limits, a vote for a candidate does not equal to support of that candidate. It only expresses the preference of that candidate compared to other candidates, and nothing more. So don't think it's a stamp of approval; it's not (but convincing you that it is in order to influence the way you vote can be a very efficient tactic).

It's not even a stamp of approval for the electoral system itself. If you pay me $X, but I believe that you owe me $Y >> X, I don't relinquish my claims to the remaining amount by taking what's currently on the table, unless I claim that I consider the debt settled. Same thing here - you can vote within the existing system without accepting the full legitimacy of that system. You're only accepting the limited power that your voice has in that system as a small part of the greater power that you believe you're owed.
That stack would perform even better if you swapped ScyllaDB for Cassandra.
A better system: vote for as many as you like. Then you can vote for your conscience, PLUS an acceptable mainstream candidate. And if the 'moral' choice has a broad enough base they could win.
Maybe I'm reading this paper incorrectly, but it seems that in this system "voice" is part of the model parameters not inputs. What they did was train the same model with multiple reader voices while using one of the inputs to keep track of which voice the model was currently trained on. So the model can switch between different voices, but only between those which it was trained on.

"The conditioning was applied by feeding the speaker ID to the model in the form of a one-hot vector. The dataset consisted of 44 hours of data from 109 different speakers."

Am I missing something?
A perfectly valid point. But getting back to the original article -- it pretty much takes a SV alpha-nerd (or aspiring CEO seeking to cater to them) to come up with language like that.
The biggest issue for me is to identify meaningful problems in the first place.

I mean, when I work for other companies I can crack down on problems they identified and have customers for and often I have good solutions for them. But finding these problems is hard.
If you have personal preferences about whom you conduct business with, you shouldn't be allowed to conduct business with anyone.

This isn't about your home; this is about your use of your home as a capital asset. You can allow into your home anyone you choose to and bar anyone you choose to. But as a society we have agreed that we--through our government--most certainly have a stake in making sure that you treat others equitably in your business transactions, and that that use of your home as a capital asset in a business transaction means you forego other rights in the process.
I must confess I fell from my chair when I saw him going to his editor menu to perform a copy-paste. He did not know about the most known shortcut ever.

Are you sure? I had a coworker who was a fellow Smalltalk consultant. At the time he was just out of college and in his 20's, but he deliberately didn't use any OS keyboard shortcuts. Our company's development environments ran transparently cross platform on eight different OS, so to keep himself from stumbling when out in the field, he only used the cross platform UI commands.

So perhaps your coworker didn't want to spend extra effort on Ctrl-C Ctrl-V because he wanted to preserve muscle memory for another system? (OS X?) Did he normally work in Emacs? Or maybe he's just jaded.

But I kept that for myself despite the itch to insist on telling him to use the damn shortcut instead of going to the menu each time. After all, he was as productive as the younger ones as far as quantity was concerned, and more productive as far as quality was concerned.

Good on you! It's the output that matters. And if one can't have a modicum of patience while collaborating/pair programming, then that's a sure sign of an opportunity to learn something valuable and powerful.

touch typing evangelist maniacs. They probably allot a specific budget for spare backspace keys. In my experience, that's the key they use the most.

I'm constantly amazed at the degree to which young people in the Bay Area pay attention to preference signalling. It's like they think it's some sort of divine oracle or moral imperative in and of itself!

I didn't even know PHP before I started on this journey at the beginning of the year. I was trying to peddle my (admittedly meager) Python skills but everyone who had money to pay wanted boring PHP devs to maintain and build on 7-10 year old systems, so I brushed up and landed a few nice stable gigs. Will easily clear 6 figures within the next month or so for the year.
I think the point is that different parts of the story need different intonation patterns (reading a scary part vs a boring part, etc.).

So in theory, it could be achieved by having multiple training sets (for the different intonation styles), along with analysis of the text to direct which part of the text needs what intonation. You might even be able to blend intonations.
And it's worth noting that dalmatiner magic relies on ZFS + riak. The ZFS part being problematic to run on linux.

Selecting for voters who are willing to navigate a bureaucracy and jump through arbitrary hoops to vote does not give you "informed" voters, just voters with a lot of time on their hands.

Also, who decides what circumstance is legitimate and what isn't? Why should some circumstances be accommodated but not others?

Every single time people have tried to restrict who "should" vote and who "shouldn't" the rules have been abused for the purposes of bigotry. Poll taxes, literacy tests, id requirements, etc.
How does one get started with this? I suppose a lot of people who hang out at HN are competent devs good in programming and databases, but probably beginners in math, ML, AI etc. How does such a person get started and find a job in this field?
Have you looked at modern PHP though? I haven't looked extensively, and I'm not very familiar with type systems in general, but PHP 7 just might qualify as a modern type system (albeit optional) and since about 5.5 it's had pretty modern features like closures and traits. There's also hack-lang (Facebook's extended PHP.)

...but just imagine how much less it would matter if everyone voted! Wait, that doesn't sound quite right.

Determining the value of a vote based solely on its probability to be the _deciding_ vote seems like it's overlooking some of the benefits of an engaged participatory democracy.
I don't see a connection between voting in person and being informed. What do you mean?
> Yep. It's a myth that Nader lost Gore the election. In Florida, 10x as many registered Democrats voted for Bush as voted for Nader.

This isn't a counter-argument. Yes, there are innumerable ways Gore could have gotten the handful of votes needed to push him over the top in Florida.

But it's difficult to argue that, if Nader voters voted for their second choice instead, Gore wouldn't have gotten enough votes to win. To argue otherwise is to argue that a majority of Nader voters would have picked Bush as a second pick, and that's difficult to imagine.

I don't know who downvoted you without any comment, I for one believe that that could be a good idea: just support all languages as alias and hide what is not your language - but don't cap the use of the foreign functions. If the interface is gentile whenever you see a spreadsheet from another country, it could be feasible.
I have a lot of respect for the concepts discussed here, but as a side note "check with your HR team" is a pretty bad idea in most cases. As it's often said, HR is there to protect the company. Not to help employees. Approaching HR with the question "Is it ok to talk to women?" is going to make that HR employee make a note in your file that you're potentially causing a harassing environment and there's documentation of you specifically targeting female employees. Not to mention, it sounds like a loaded a question. The type of thing someone would ask after a woman sounded offended or rebuked him, and the guy is going to HR to try to preemptively do damage control and get his side of the story out first.

Don't go to HR with your problems, it can only hurt you. If you're the victim of something inappropriate in the workplace, seek outside legal advice and follow their direction in communicating with HR.
The primary thing men need to do is become more self aware of ways in which they unintentionally exclude women and stop doing that.

I am a bit leery of your description of trying to encourage more male peers to do more to make their organizations more diverse. In my experience, trying to be inclusive is generally a poor approach to this problem space. Just work on not being exclusive and the people who want to be there will show up, in essence.
I am thinking about it. Actually a friend recommended that I change my title to Data Engineer a few months back.
The main thing, is that I'm not a professional renter. The primary use of the apartment is for myself almost half of the year. I also rent more than half of the time outside of airbnb on Homeaway...

In the jurisdiction where I'm renting, there's no requirements for handrails. The requirements for short terms rental are basically the same as the requirements for renting an apartment long term and not all apartments are disabled friendly... It's also in an historical district, even if we wanted to we would never get the permit to install an elevator...

Also, I've never said I wouldn't accept old people. If they have no disabilities that would present a risk for them, they're welcome.

If I owned a hotel, I would have rooms with disabled access of course. But, it's different when you're renting the apartment that is also your habitation (which is the original purpose of Airbnb)...

Now, that said, I fully support laws that force businesses to accommodate people with disabilities. I also think that any new buildings should be built with this in mind. But are we going to destroy historic old buildings because they don't conform to the current regulations?
