Here's my concrete claim. Let pp = police presence, then P(crime detected) = r(pp).

Measured crime = crimes x r(police presence).

As long as your model is expressive enough to capture r(pp), bias should be detected.

Fundamentally you are making the claim that there are certain types of variable correlations that are just so evil that no statistical model can possibly understand them. That's a very bold claim; it's essentially the claim that science doesn't work.
Likewise, in order to build Go from source you need to already have Go 1.4 installed. In an OS where you by default download source and compile it (e.g. Gentoo, MacPorts on OS X), this means downloading an old, unsupported, and unmaintained version of Go just to build it to run a newer version. I had an issue recently where, on my laptop, Go 1.4 refused to build, and now I have no versions of Go on my laptop. I could install from binaries from the website, but that wouldn't satisfy dependencies so I'm stuck for now.

Thanks Alex, This is super cool.
I have to look into something similar for our Angular projects with Node
Reserved instance pricing on AWS absolutely destroys Azure. If you do on-demand on both, they look competitive, but there are ways of bringing AWS down which Azure simply cannot match.
there is the smlar extension (written by one of the guys that wrote fts) but I'd prefer native

You'd think it wouldn't be that hard seeing as SQLite has lots of working code, and it's reasonably similar to pg.

Hey, fellow Mexican developer here, currently in Mexico City. So if you ever wanna grab a beer and talk about programming feel free to hit me up erick.romero.dev@gmail.com
My guess would be closing stages of an acquisition, code audits etc. etc.
I'm probably not as old as you; I turned 20 a couple of days ago, and I most certainly do not want to become an entrepreneur, but here's something about how I keep myself motivated:

Each day; at least once, I try to read/think about something which makes me feel totally worthless. It could be anything, about how there are people out there building really awesome stuff, conducting research in various STEM fields, or producing fantastic works of art, just anything good, really. Elon Musk's Mars mission would be a great example.

Realising this fact makes feel really, really guilty inside, and I know that I am not contributing enough to this world. That's all the motivation I need to get on with my work.

This stuff may sound a little cheesy, but it works for me :)
This is actually not a requirement anymore. Mockito 2 can mock final types and methods.
What acquisition makes a company completely stop working on product, cancel events, and stop social media?
Of course it is.
Is it true that 12 year olds are more likely to pick up a machete than 30 year olds?
Are shootings and murder common in all neighborhoods? Isn't it correct to strongly associate a neighborhood with shootings and murder if you are repeatedly visiting the neighborhood due to a shooting and/or murder?
So the answer is still to discuss those things.
Interesting story! Seems like yet another abject lesson in what happens when you build on top of tooling whose developers use the Web development mentality of "release then test".

One of the many reasons I stay away from javascript.
I don't understand how you can spend 500 million dollars on this. How is that even possible? 500 million dollars is an enormous amount of money. You could make 2-5 large budget, full length hollywood movies for that price. Complete with multi-million dollar budgets for A-list celebrities and high quality special effects.
Impressions from Node Interactive Amsterdam
While undeniably true, you have to look at the levels of redundancy. With a dedicated server, if the box dies you're offline, if the storage dies you may lose data, etc.

Plus, there's also a premium just for access to the ecosystem/APIs. You are often paying for the theoretical convenience of being able to spawn additional instances programmatically.
Yeah I don't know why they'd release something like this with no built in moderation.

>> fine just learning ES6, a front-end technology like Angular (2) or React

And in 2015 you would have been just fine learning Ember or Angular 2.

And in 2014 you would have been just fine learning Angular 1 or Ember.

And in 2013 you would have been just fine learning Backbone and Ember.

And in 2012 you would have been just fine learning Knockout and Backbone...
You should check out townsourced.com. It was specifically built for small communities, like those overlooked by craigslist.
Yea after mulling it over, I guess I can agree with that. I admit it seems like it would be very difficult to get enough people to commit fraud when it was just identification making the difference. Still wouldn't want to be the victim of it, though.
Assuming you're paying people 60k a year, 500 million dollars buys you full-time employment for over eight thousand people for a year. Unless the deliverable was two thousand well produced videos, I have to agree.
To quote Blaaguuu[1]:

Basically, you just put a 'stamp' on a piece of digital paper, which shows what city you are in - then you 'fold' the paper into an airplane and make a little 'throwing' motion with your phone, being careful not to let go and fling your phone across the room, and the plane flies off. Then everyone can make a sweeping motion with your phone to catch other people's planes (seemingly random) to view the stamps, and add your own, then throw it back.

I'd say a lot of it was probably airtime costs. Several years of advertisements on multiple channels seems like it would be costly. The personnel costs obviously can't even approach that.
The fact of the matter is it got us to the point of where we are today.

And -- how can you possibly know that, Eric? Are you saying because B follows A, that A caused B to happen? Maybe the early Google succeed despite the now-discredited filtering processes it used in its early years.

According to one executive, Mayer disapproved of the fact that Paltrow did not graduate college.

But this quote is just exquisite. Presumably she filters picks for her bookshelf (including, most especially, cooking and lifestyle books) based on a hard floor for the authors' educational backgrounds, also. And of course the movie she watches, with respect to the pedigrees of their actors, likewise.
Different target groups though (IMHO).

"10 bucks a month for the knowledge that I can watch whatever movie I feel like right now" is a completely different value proposition from "10 bucks a month for access to new, well-made TV series, of which I might find 1 or 2 interesting at a time". Some people want the one, others prefer the other.

Precisely.

I highlight a similar pricing breakdown with their IoT / MQTT service and their price inanities as well. As far as I can tell, this insane pricing is for the idea of "Can't go wrong with purchasing Microsoft Services".... when in actuality, you can go very much wrong.
That was the first thing I noticed as well. That amount seems like a tall tale to me. I also don't like how one of the first things I have to read in this article is basically a bunch of bragging.

Sure. But sometimes, it seems like the "something wrong with our DMVs" isn't a separate problem, but a fairly deliberate effort to exploit the danger directly created by adding the functioning of the DMV as a dependency in the electoral process. [0]

Ember has zero ties to Rails. We are using Ember with Java backend. I have seen Ember used with .NET and Go backend. There are even the SANE stack [0].

The only possible tie that Ember with Rails is that it used to bundle ActiveRecordAdapter with Ember data. It is now separated into another project possibly due to this exact reason.

Great work!

No, because Dead Man's Switch doesn't do that either.
Yeah but what I don't like about next door is that by default you're sharing your entire profile with your closest 16+ neighborhoods. That means your actual verified address, what you're selling, and anything else you put on nextdoor.

Why do these sites keep making privacy settings open to all by default?
> Or, of course, what aspects of the world are we missing that would be obvious to a slightly more complex intelligence?

Also, there are surely aspects of the world we miss which are probably clear to chimps or even insects.
To this I draw a 2x2 matrix on a whitboard. In each of the 4 quadrants I write:

"Product and Engineering"

"Ops"

"Sales and Marketing"

"Legal"

Enter tasks and goals for each quadrant. Iterate.

This is the minimum effort required to sustain any app. Developers are mostly only aware of the first quadrant.
Excellent. Will investigate. Currently using espeak to call out pomodoros (among other things - weather, motivational quotes, reminders) at set times. But of course you tune out after a while. This might be a more flexible solution.

EDIT: CLI is the future :)
Can you add a link in the results to the comment on HN?
The CRUD one-row-per-pattern is common because it's enough for most projects. It works well with ORMs so you can build quickly and securely. And most of the time, performance isn't an issue and having a history of an entity is unnecessary.

I'm worried that event sourcing is going to become this year's over-applied design pattern with libraries in every language for every database with blog posts that recommend it be used on every project.

It's a good idea, very useful - in the right hands on the right projects. But it makes sense that junior devs normally use CRUD because that's normally the right solution. At least until better tools come along.

Your perspective and feelings are hugely influenced by the environment you are in. Anyone who has ever worked a horrible job or went to grad school can tell you that. In your case it seems that your parents are---consciously or not---really holding you back. If they are questioning your life choices every day, and if the topic of how you are going to make money is something that is continually discussed, then it's no wonder you feel the way you do! My advice is to get out of your house at any cost. Move to a different city, get a job you're not too happy with, it doesn't really matter, but get to a place where you're not being questioned and second-guessed every single day! Seriously, it will make a world of difference to get out of the environment you are in.

While it is a grey area, its not that untested. The tax office is a good proxy to define commercial vs non-commercial, and there should be plenty of precedence for different cases. In cases where the tax office don't consider something as commercial/for-profit/done under compensation and do not tax them as such, the copyright owner has a much weaker case to argue commercial activity.

At least for German websites you have to add an imprint (Impressumspflicht - there is no proper English translation of this that I know of since this is a concept that to my knowledge only exists in Germany). What content this has to contain depends on whether the website is to considered as commercial or not. What remains to be said is obvious: There are court decisions that say that there are completely different criteria for a website to be commercial (in the sense of the content of the imprint) than the criteria tax authorities apply.
Indeed, that was my concern as well.

The best solution is probably to replace the C++ bits with Java, and go full JVM.
> For instance, research shows that people who cohabit are more likely to have less education, more likely to have previously lived with another partner

But that's not a separate factor. If the whole point of cohabiting is to try things out and provide an easier dissolution if they work, the higher risk of cohabitors having cohabited with someone else before isn't orthogonal to the decision to cohabitate, its central to it.

The Startup Kitchen
Assuming signal, rather than noise of course. Given that the only real result is that we lost that war, and that the groups we were trying to quash have morphed and taken over whole regions, it's hard to argue for any expenditure related to that endeavor.

That said, even if we won it disturbs me that we're willing to spend so much on something that, at best, "might" be helpful. Worse, something that definitely didn't help in Korea or Vietnam...
we would not get along. :)

I'm a picky eater and generally see one thing on the menu I really want. Nothing bothers me more than when someone demands the table does family style and I get 1/5th of what I wanted and 4/5ths of crap.
Hard to tell what is going on but it seems like a similar application of lithography in plastics... Though they don't look "atom-by-atom repeatable" sphere stalactites.
A couple of years ago, in the U.S., Amazon Prime had some HBO and a few other headliners, some overlap with Netflix, and otherwise kind of blew.

Since then, and particularly this year, Netflix is to the point where I can barely find anything to suit me except when one of the Marvel series launches.

Amazon Prime still has the old HBO stuff -- to which they've added a few seasons. And seem to be picking up a few non-original titles each month that I actually don't mind watching. Some of the stuff disappearing from Netflix seems to be showing up on Prime.

At the same time, they've lost a number of titles I enjoyed. But they seem to be doing better than Netflix.

As far as I'm concerned, all Netflix past rhetoric about streaming being the future, has proven to be crap.

I now kind of wish I had pirated, before everything started locking down so much. In lieu, I'm paying attention to my friends who have accumulated an amazingly substantial collection of discs. Especially if and where I can find them at bargain prices, it seems a better application of my money. I can rewatch at leisure, loan them to friends, and eventually rip them for durability/longevity.

P.S. If I ever move somewhere where the public library isn't so distant, like some other friends, I'll throw my active support (and not just tax dollars) behind it.
I have tried on multiple occasions to get started with react and every time the large amount of setup prevents me from getting anywhere useful. After looking over the docs I am somewhat hopeful that this might bridge the gap.

Who Makes the IoT Things Under Attack?
First off, this doesn't defeat my point: people are trying to connect systemd to the browser. Secondly, no, I wasn't aware it was a separate project, because it didn't initially appear to be. Ordinarily, I'd assume it was, but frankly, at this point, I can totally see Lennart doing this.

So yes, systemd isn't at fault, and I did miss it, and, to some degree, spread FUD, for which I am sorry. However, it's still a very silly idea.
If they’re raiding a house and they’re going to make a mess of it looking for stuff anyway, they’d just drop an odd CD there.

So that explains how they always seem to find computers with evidence of terrorist activities. Likely also how they found stuff at Osama bin Laden's place; how they found passport of a terrorist who was in a plane that flew into the World Trade Center building; or the one that crashed in PA.
I agree and disagree, I've been with companies and seen how scope can expand as you grow, building internal apps, monitoring, reporting, all kinds of stuff. On the flip side i know a guy that managed a team of 5, the 6 of them total managed the snippet editor in Visual Studio. Six people to manage a snippet editor? Really?

In a general context, or in the context of what we're talking about here? In general, I don't know, in context... yes. You can get most kids on board with almost anything, and those you can't, you can generally abuse or otherwise force to submit. They're not set in their ways, they don't have as clear a sense of the world, and their impulse control usually stinks.

There's a reason that everyone, for better or worse, wants to get to kids early, and often. Advertisers, religions, people trying to teach kids how to deal with advertisers and religions, militaries, etc... all see the value in "getting them young."
