Then you're not going to like this factoid. In wrongful death civil suits in the US, the monetary award is based on the current income and earning potential of the deceased; the courts place vastly lower monetary value on the live of homeless people than on the wealthy.

I was convinced it was Asimov.
Completely valid. I should have been more direct, but that wasn't the intent. Since you took the bait, I take issue with the seemingly flipant manner in which words are assigned new meanings, and existing concepts are relabeled. While the concept of archetypes is intellectually really fun to consider, it makes more difficult the ultimate project of speaking a common tongue. This is not an orthodox point of view, this is primarily economical. Far too much cognitive effort is required to learn new paradigms that turn out to be fresh takes on old ones, so best to identify them early and move on. But we should be critical as a community to self-regulate, as the marginal utility of each moment of learning is weighed against a million other potentialities.

Generally, for fixed point operation you need to explicitly handle two things: overflow and rounding. The former may not be an issue in some applications, but the latter will. It is easy to introduce a cumulative error by incorrect rounding for instance.

We do make moral choices, and there are rules and heuristics we use, they might be quite complicated, and they might not be what we think they are, but I think nonetheless that it should be possible to come close to predicting a human moral decision making quite well by using an accurate enough model.

And as autonomous vehicles will have to make decisions that have moral implications, they better do so in a way that humans will be happy with. I think this is an important area of research. This won't mean a machines will have morals of his own, whatever that means, but that they should do what (most?) humans would consider morally right. And what do humans consider morally right? Well that is exactly what we should try to find out.
Bureaucratic processes, low work standard, "good enough for the business". IT in a large financial company is a pretty appalling thing to observe. Everything that would take minutes to fix in a small organisation is taking years.

For instance the network drives hang regularly, sometimes for several minutes. That affects everyone on the floor. Because of a bug in Windows that was never fixed that also causes windows to hang for minutes, basically when it happens it is coffee time. Everyone I know in the organisation is affected, and has been for years. One would have thought that IT would do something about it, not the least because they must experience that themselves. That's counting without the "I don't give a shit attitude" that I pretty much always see in that part of the organisation.

It's not about money. If we need to make even the most minor changes, it becomes multi-year projects costing millions. As far as I can tell these millions are spent in project managers who understand neither the tech nor the business and ensure that the maximum amount of confusion is maintained. They are spent on paying salaries matching industry standard to bottom of their class developers who were not smart enough to work for google or facebook, and have no idea of what they are doing. Some of the things I see are pretty shocking. I faced developpers who are litteraly mild amateurs. And I would say developers are the "elite" of the IT crowd in these organisations.

Outsourcing didn't help with the I don't give a shit attitude. I doubt that the fact that a guy in London has to make 10 unecessary clicks everytime he needs to do something frequently, or has his computer completely unusable for minutes affects much a contractor in Bangalore. One would assume that a guy who would actually meet his "victims" would have a little more compassion, but as thing stands these problems are very much virtual to these guys.
Yes, and you still had to present yourself at the border, with a passport, and be registered. Controlling immigration doesn't mean preventing people to get in, it means knowing who is coming in, and how many people, at which rate, so you can take decisions.

Besides, while it is a country strength, it did and still do have a cost. Whether this cost is worth the benefit is something you can only answer if you have metrics to do so, and illegal immigration make it hard to have those metrics, or change your policy to adapt to your new situation.

People always see immigrations as being a moral issue first, but it really is not. It has strong moral implications by nature, but it's first a management issue. Just like eduction, science, etc.

Frankly I don't remember all details since I did this benchmark in February. IIRC its "ZSON + PGLZ" vs "JSONB + PGLZ".

Please note that everything depends very much on your data. PostgreSQL is smart about what to compress and what not. In general it could be all combinations of "ZSON +/- PGLZ" vs "JSONB +/- PGLZ".

Don't believe any benchmark I or anyone else did. Re-check everything on your data, configuration, hardware, workload, etc.

Iterable (https://iterable.com) - San Francisco, CA - ONSITE

Come join Iterable. We're 29 people bringing the growth hacking tools that consumer internet companies like Google/Twitter/Facebook build internally to other large-scale companies. We aim to build the best user growth engine on the planet. It's crazy how messaging and email usage are changing, but the technology and capabilities haven't caught up to the 21st century.

Our team of hackers and thinkers is from quant finance/Twitter/Google/Yahoo/Zynga/Khan Academy/Palantir/CMU/MIT, (we built large parts of Twitter's growth systems). One of our top level goals is to build a uniquely fun and growth oriented company culture. Knowledge sharing in any capacity is highly valued here -- are you interested in prediction markets or PGP encryption? Do you enjoy teaching posture techniques or purely functional data structures to others? We pair program, design together, and generally create a learn-and-teach environment here. This is an opportunity to join a super-fast growing startup, in a huge market and with a great team, while it's still early.

If you're interested in coming on board, you can help with some challenges we face:

- Scale our messaging API
- Design and write performant, beautiful, asynchronous interfaces
- Write software to build machine learned user models
- Make data visualizations for our email and user data
- Design an immutable deployment infrastructure for our platform

Some aspects of our culture that make us different:

- We are all very focused on self improvement
- Our company has egalitarian and transparent values (work when you want, on what you want)
- We are chill & empathetic people
- The company is completely transparent

Technologies you'll work with:

- Scala
- Elasticsearch
- Postgres
- Redis
- ES6
- AngularJS
- Play Framework
- RabbitMQ

You'll get to work with us at our new office at 3rd & Harrison in San Francisco. If this sounds like an interesting and fun opportunity for you, please email me at aXRzYXVuaXhzeXN0ZW0raG5AaXRlcmFibGUuY29t or take a look at our open positions here: https://iterable.com/company/careers

There is not really. Refusing euthanasia to a cancer patient is essentially a sentence to a painful death or morphine overdose if that even works as a pain killer. The latter is a bit better but not too much.
Hmmm in hindsight this is logical, you got 2 kidneys of a certain size. Expected do 1 job together. And since biology doesn't like wastefulness (as it cost energy, room, and nutrients to maintain) the kidneys are dimensioned to a safe/good size. Now when you remove 1, the other one has to do twice the job. Possibly severely dipping under the safe size.

In short, redundancy != excess

> The right solution is to make better ways to browse and select between all the options we have available.

I think you're missing the point. The problem is not "which library is best at x y and z", the problem is that nobody agrees on what X, Y, and Z are.

It's a definitional problem, not a curation problem. Curation is easy once you have a yardstick to measure things with (pun intended).

Again dropping back to the metaphor of woodworking, one can clearly evaluate the results of using any given tool against a thousand years of physical history - no such comparison is possible with current libraries, especially in the rat's nest of javascript, and that's fundamentally the issue.
Also, it would be too late!

Japan is mostly cash-based for face-to-face transactions.

Online, users are extremely comfortable paying electronically. You have to remember that paying via mobile was a thing here several years before the rest of the world, so people have had longer to acclimatize.

As a reference point, Japan spent around $8B via mobile phones in 2006 (i.e. before the iphone launched).

I was interested in how they compare in compression terms. Anyway, remaining JBIG2 patents expire in 2019.
I wonder how other robots can learn from these robots as well, robots with other arm geometry.

E.g. abstract what the google bots learn to forces and torques on the end effector so other robots can replicate that?
The solution - don't use them.
A drop in false complaints could be a factor, but the study tentatively weighs the officer behavior the bigger change:

> Specifics on how exactly this is happening are unclear. Is the officer less confrontational to begin with, avoiding escalation? Or are suspects and complainants more wary of their conduct? Is it some combination of the two, or are even more factors involved? To determine these things would be a far more complex and subtle piece of research, but the study does suggest that officer behavior is probably the most affected, and that other effects flow from that.

It would be interesting if they could capture how many complaints there are generally, and how many complaints in areas deploying body cameras are dis/proved due to video evidence.
Police unions will fight cameras. They will do cute, pilot programs in certain neighborhoods to fool us.

I would like to see all police officers be required to have a cam on(at all times)while on shift. It would just be like carrying a gun.

"If you don't want to carry a gun---you just can't be a police officer. No Andy Griffith's on this force. Times have just changed. We carry guns-- we carry cams! If you do well on the test, and pass the psychological; you're hired. Good Luck. We hope to have the best, brightest, and most ethical on board."

It will never happen because police departments are so scattered across the US, and know one is ultimately in charge.

(On at all times. No covers for cams. One the whole time while on shift. Maybe a bathroom break exclusion, but I feel that would abused.)
How do you think US universities make their money these days? A lot of it comes from IP.

Though that might be true, the study didn't look into the falsehood of the complaints.

>In the year before the study, 1,539 complaints in total were filed against officers; at the end of the body camera experiment, the year had only yielded 113 complaints.

Search for "false" in the published study [0] yields 0 results.

This bit is as interesting as the headline:

I don't use ES6 because of the cool kids, but because it makes some Javascript things more tolerable.

One constructive thing that I would like to add is that the "You don't know JS" book series has really taught me a lot about the common pitfalls of JavaScript. Since then my JS stress levels have been reduced dramatically!
I don't even have a credit card (I live in Japan). Stuff I buy online I pay at the convenience store or on delivery in cash, everything else I pay in cash or using my commuter pass (RFID).
Funny, about the similarities. I moved from Iowa to California, in my mid 20's. Had worked for my Dad's business, for a while. Wrote a new DBMS from scratch to use in the business.

Moved to California would sell it, but ran out of money. So, I got a gig selling computers. Wrote code in my spare time. Then I got a gig selling software. Designed a better version in my spare time. And then my Boss invested in it. And then we failed at selling it. And then got a new gig writing software. And then another and another.

Then, at one gig I stumbled upon how to make a tool cheaper and better. That turned into a startup. Became a CTO. Had a little success. And then onto the next thing. My old Boss became a friend. So, he invested in the next thing.

In the midst of all that, there were some dry periods. I remember not eating. I remember flunking a job interview after spending my last $100 for a cab ride to get there on time. It felt like: what's the point?

Making a product is not the same as solving a puzzle. I'm an entrepreneur. That is very different from being a software engineer. An engineer is usually forward chaining from tools and patterns. An entrepreneur is usually backward chaining from goals.

I learned a lot from my Dad. I'm glad I worked for him. And I'm glad I moved away.

That too would be a good result although given that complaints remained lower after the cameras were removed, it would seem false complaints weren't the problem.

But either way, it seems to work

I wonder how much of the effect comes from the cameras and their perception, and how much comes from the oversight that the study itself provides.

And how long it's going to last.

We are all on our best behavior when somebody's, but it typically doesn't last forever. Eventually the effect wears out.

Don't get me wrong, I'm all for it, I'm just skeptical of long term numbers outside of studies. Still, if it reduces complaints and incidents, it'll well be worth it.

As a beginner I would have gawped at this curve of learning when starting out. What happened to 'hello world' :)
I'm pretty sure the "core" reference refers to the "FP with OOP" core based on Scheme and Self, which is one of the best things about the (JS) language.

Alas, "The Management" demanded that it be dressed up to look like Java (and thus like C++). This led to a bunch of people that were unhappy that Javascript was in fact NOT like Java when they tried to use it like Java.

It's a very nice dynamic FP language, but people keep wanting to do static OOP with it :-(
The thing is when the novelty aspects wears off, people (policemen and citizen) will tend to forget that they are being recorded. A bit like people are outraged that the NSA is recording them naked on skype. But a year later they would be back at it again and wouldn't even think about it.

That's how many documentaries are made. You follow a guy with a small camcorder, the guy knows he is recorded, behaves, but it is impossible to curb his attitude for too long and after a few weeks you start capturing natural reactions, he sort of forgot the camera.

Smart people will do a better job at keeping in mind that they are watched, but the sort of people involved in confrontations with the police, whichever side is at fault, is more often than not not smart.

So would be curious to see the real long term effect.
Not really. You can set a custom default answer and you can write a method that creates mocks with that answer, but there are enough rough edges that it ends up amounting to writing your own test framework. Much easier to just use EasyMock.

The reason the Saudis work with Israel seems to be a common and aggressive enemy -- Iran.

But yes, SA is a brutal dictatorship that for political reasons have to be more religious and fanatic than everyone else. Sounds quite like Iran, really.

For the rest, I am no real expert. I would note the similarities with the Shia/Sunni problems and the European religious wars of the 17th century. Then you would answer that those wars were in a more violent and barbaric time. And then we would both sigh, depressed for the state of the Middle East.
