I don't know much about it, but there are public datasets you can train on and contests you can enter.

But this seems more like doing research in hopes of coming up with something new that big companies will be interested in. Or, if that doesn't happen, learning enough so that they can hire you as a researcher or consultant.
I don't care about making midtown cool - there are plenty of cool areas in New York for me to spend my time. I want midtown to be efficient - if that means turning the entire thing into a perfectly square block of concrete, so be it. Penn Station needs to be so much better at one very simple job: getting people in and out of the city.
This seems like an opportunity for Kickstarter to provide leverage: one project doesn't have any, but if Kickstarter acted as an intermediary for hardware contracting, they could help prevent and mediate situations like this, making the whole process much more trustworthy.
> do people actually find stashing easier than branching?

Absolutely. I stash things all the time. I find feature branches only useful for pull requests. My own code never uses feature branches unless I'm unsure of where I'm headed with the feature—I'll need to continually come back to it and build it a little at a time. But that's very rare.

> Right from the man page: "If you mistakenly drop or clear stashes, they cannot be recovered through the normal safety mechanisms."

Then don't ever use those commands. I don't. Checking one of my repos:

$ git stash list | wc -l
46

I just let the stash grow unbounded. Usually it's for cleaning up unfinished features or debugging when manipulating the repo (in which case it gets popped almost immediately). But often I'll just hit a point where I don't care about what I have too much, but I think it might have promise in the future and so I'll just stash and start over. One of the wonderful git commands is "git stash list -p", letting me search the diffs for code I know I've written at some point.

> We'd be better off following the trail of breadcrumbs back to the source

I'm thinking this is what was intended. Did something get lost along the way with all the layers of translation from "human problem" to machine language? Here's another quote from the source passage, linked elsewhere in this thread:

The sequence of operations will be too difficult
to decipher unless you have access to the source
code from which the instructions were compiled.
University researchers who wish to carry out such
an experiment would probably have to sign
nondisclosure agreements in order to get a look

Don't send more than one follow-up email. It usually just irritates people. If they want you they will contact you.

On that note, you keep looking, even if you had the greatest interview ever. Until someone starts paying you, you aren't hired.

And if someone does make an offer, tell them you want a day or two to think about it.

Remember, you are super eager to start, but usually the business is doing business as usual. So play it cool.

The best possible situation is you get a couple of offers at the same time, so you have options.

And if you start somewhere, then a week or two later your dream job calls, then quit and go follow your dream.

Good luck!

Unless if by cutting red meat, fried foods, and saturated fat, you end up reducing satiety with your diet, and thus increasing your total calorie intake ("but it's low fat!"), in which case your high blood pressure and cholesterol levels will get worse.

Your best bet to fix high blood pressure and high cholesterol is to reduce weight, which almost always means reducing dietary calories by whatever diet composition works for you.
800 million pounds is about 360,000 metric tons.

The total amount of gold we have mined so far is somewhere around 170,000 metric tons.

So if you used all the gold in the world, you'd only have about half of what you need.

At the same time, I was surprised that it is even in the same ballpark.

These queues are thread safe and lock-free, but they are far from efficient. My biggest issue here is that the runtime evaluations are wrong. The insert operation is definitely an average runtime of N (where N is the number of elements in the queue) and a worst case of infinity(since the insert operation is restarted if a race condition occurs, an insert operation could be repeated forever). I don't know if I missed anything, so I could be wrong, but this implementation seems incredibly flawed.

That said, it is always nice to see new data-structures and I really wish there were more posts like this. I always like to see the different ways that people try to solve these problems.

I never really understood why people think the pay gap between the CEO's and the rank-and-filers is such a negative thing.

If you look at walmart for example, and entirely eliminated the compensation of the CEO (19.4 million), and all executive vice presidents and CFOs (2.8, 10.8, 8.4, 10.1, 11.5, and 8.5 million respectively) and total them all up you get ~$71.5 million.

71,500,000 / 2,000,000 million employees = $34 dollars per employee per year of a raise. That's almost negligible, and if you assume minimum wage (7.25) 50 weeks a year, for 40 hours a week gives $14,500 / year, you get $35 / $14,500 = a .24% raise. That's less than a 2 cent per hour raise per employee if you completely slashed the salaries and compensations of the top executives.

I don't get why fried foods are still demonized. If you use, say coconut oil or avocado oil and stay under the smoke points (so the oils dont break down), what's the problem?

Maybe there's an assumption that this means commercially prepared fried foods, which may use soybean oils that aren't cleaned/changed regularly?
It doesn't matter. The suggestions are repeated and clear: a woman putting herself out in public talking about her work is begging for harassment. Women should write under pen names, so we can learn from their work and they can trade any credit or career improvement for "not dealing with harassment". That is not a deal men are required to make.

I'm not OK with this. Nobody should be OK with this.
I think it's important to understand that is really happening here. Microsoft is merging Microsoft Research with their application oriented AI work. See the press release from Microsoft (http://mnc.ms/2ddF5dC).

MSR is already a pretty big group at Microsoft and does all sorts of work that is completely unrelated to AI. Now, I am confident the teams within MSR will have to start thinking about AI, and how their work relates to AI, but this initiative is much more of an interdisciplinary effort than a 5000 person deep learning team.
The thing is, you're not even talking high volume at this stage. It's still relatively small production runs. They could have done their earlier products through a US based fabrication shop to get the cash flowing, then switched to a Chinese one once they'd got a steady income and could work through these hassles.
This makes no sense whatsoever.

If I were Kickstarter, I wouldn't touch any part of a project fulfillment process with a long pole. Precisely because of situations like one described in a linked update.
I think you need to read both woopwoop and amluto's comments again.

woopwoop is saying that the equity compensation given to CEOs is a disincentive for taking risks and that it needs to be offset by a promised severance package in order to increase the variance of outcomes.

amluto is saying that this is a mischaracterization of the equity compensation for CEOs, which only exposes them to gains and not losses and thus they are already incentivized to pursue a risky strategy (e.g. golden parachutes are not required to create this incentive).
I'd personally rephrase the issue as "if you think you are going to get harassed, whether you are male, female, or in between, you should write under a pen name".

I don't know who gets harassed more, men or women, but I'd definitely guess women. That being said, the advice is pretty standard for everyone.
Yea, whenever I see an article with that much sales copy mixed in I start to question everything that they're saying.

Basically things have changed a bit in the last 5-10 years -- people have been thinking about the hiring process a lot, and adopting many practices they read about or see other shops doing (some good, some bad). But two major, fundamental shifts have been:

(1) Whiteboarding (and grilling and testing in various forms), and "committee hiring" have become much more common. Which naturally increases the chance that you'll, heaven forbid, make a mistake, not effortlessly and fluently recall something you were actually pretty big on 5-10 years ago, or just not instantaneously click with one of the interviewers. And hence, get flushed.

(2) Companies have always wanted to hire the best person they can. But it kind of used to be: "So who'd we interview this week? Are they good? No red flags? OK, let's make offer. Because remember, we have actual work to do."

Nowadays it seems to be: "We're awesome! So we need to hire someone who's really awesome, too. And a culture fit! Because after all, the As hire As, and the Bs hire Cs. And our culture, is like super hidebound and fragile. That guy we all liked this week? Yeah they're good, no red flags, but... I don't know... he's good but he's just not exploding with awesomeness. I mean, he solved the problem a the whiteboard, but he didn't demolish it with a one-sentence action plan for the optimal solution before I could finishing asking it. And I detected about 100ms of latency in his voice while he was explaining on the phone to me how hashtables work."

And so on, until they spend another 2-3 months interviewing 8 or 10 more people, whose awesomeness is also, surprise, just a tad short of immediately and overwhelmingly evident. Until they finally break down and make an offer to the last one who seems, well, decent enough.

How to win? The trick is to be that last one they interview, I guess.

My comment breaks down how the hiding of implementation is completely different between the two, can you point what you think is incorrect so we're not talking past each other? Or is there anything you need clarification on?
Yes. Hoare logic's inference rules define which Hoare triples can be “legally” derived. The programmer's task isn't only to provide a Hoare triple (which by itself is just an assertion that a program meets a specification), but also to provide a derivation of that triple (the actual proof of the assertion). Design by contract is akin to giving a Hoare triple, but never giving its derivation.
People always fret about any sort of reduction in the space for cars and wonder, "where will the cars go?" This fails to recognize that transportation systems are about moving people, not cars.

If you reduce the incentive to travel by car, and provide transportation alternatives, people will make use of those alternatives. This is why cars so easily vanish.

Midtown East is an interesting place.

I think part of the reason it remains "nicer" is the allure of Park Ave. That stretch of Park Ave from Grand Central up to 59th is actually owned by the old Penn Railroad. It was cut-and-covered long ago for a Metro-North rail yard, and all the buildings above it lease space from the now-defunct railroad's holding company.

And what buildings they are: the Lever building and the Seagram building are two of the most important modernist skyscrapers. And 432 Park Ave is probably the most important building currently under construction.

Beyond that, a lot of the neighborhood's culture comes from the elevated lines. The 3rd Ave and 2nd Ave above-ground lines were, for a long time, a boundary. It's easy to watch the neighborhood become more residential (and to see all the old tenement buildings) as you walk east. A lot of college students and young professionals live there now, as well as a growing Japanese population centered around 52nd st. It's clear that Midtown east of 3rd Ave was always residential, if not as wealthy.

Midtown west was the exact opposite: heavily industrial. The High Line, now a park, had tons of intermodals for massive, well-known businesses such as Nabisco (the ground floor of which is now Chelsea Market). The piers were used for shipping. 11th Ave was known as "Death Avenue" because of the heavy transportation use. The neighborhood's face was shaped by warehouses, industry, and transportation, resulting in both Tribeca's industrial-chic and Midtown's seeming blocks of nothingness. Hell's Kitchen was a home to the Irish mafia. Times Square was teeming with prostitutes.

My feeling is that these histories shaped the development of the neighborhoods, and you still feel it echoing today when you step off a train and onto the island.
