They're not strict character-level substitutions for each other (see: katakana long syllable marker), but non-pedantically your point does stand.
Fraud against themselves mostly.

I think you'll find all the major retail banks had policies very similar to Wells Fargo. Wells Fargo was certainly the tall poppy, but I have friends who have worked there and at other similar banks in a retail banker role - they didn't think anything abnormal of the sales pressure at WF, just noted it was a bit more intense than what they were used to and actually generally found WF to be better to work for than the other majors.

I would even go so far as to argue the vast majority of consumer service sales operates under such unsustainable models as well, which encourage if not outright imply fraud. Ask any retail cellular employee and they'll be able to tell you stories that sound identical to Wells Fargo. Cramming is the default state of the game, since "corporate" will always continue to ratchet up sales quotas until they are unachievable for most moral people.

I think I'm mostly surprised anyone cares, it's been going on for a decade plus and this sort of stuff is an open secret among retail sales in many industries. Why is it only now being reported? Why is only Wells Fargo being singled out?

I don't oppose your solution. I'm just curious who Wells pissed off or didn't pay off, that the other banks apparently did.

You have demonstrated a correlation that social scientists have studied for more than 3 decades and presented it as if the causation was both well-understood and supported your argument. That's extremely disingenuous.
The problem is that cloud providers build services and solutions outside of simple server space. AWS for example has some killer apps with S3, RDS, ELB, Kinesis, etc. Yes there's open source alternatives for all of those, but they bring on huge operational costs.
My perception is that WF took a big turn for the worse ethics-wise when they merged with Norwest in Minneapolis. Never heard a negative word about them until that time.
Ironically, yummyfajitas definition of "intinsic" to mean "not teachers, curriculum, nor facilities" would thus include life circumstance.

For example, the kid's quality of life outside of school. Which is demonstrably improved by helping poor kids with rent. Which I believe he is trying to argue against.

The way I've been thinking about AI is that it reduces the need for grasping administrators with a surface understanding of technology. I'm not too surprised that the head administrator would see it in terms of his office gaining manifold new powers, though.
But it might not be the publishers: it can and often are competitors. It is quite normal that people, from all walks of life, ask me if I search for their company in Google, to click on competitors' adwords. If the small entrepreneur thinks like that then it is not a stretch (and I know companies who did just that) to think many are actually hiring people and bots to click on adwords and adsense of competitors.
There's plenty of space; the problem is that it's illegal to use it to build the kind and amount of housing necessary. With the right density levels and zoning regulations, you can basically build apartments for $200k/each at arbitrarily high land values.

Hetzner is cheapest but the other two have private networking.

Isn't this an issue with the algorithm?

Can someone try and see how it would perform if you simply upscale the image using normal bicubic interpolation? And if it performs much better, I feel like that should be a preprocessing option to scale up the image since it seems to do so poorly on small resolutions.
> when you quit or get fired you stop vesting

Generally true, but sometimes there is vesting acceleration upon termination [1]. (I have no idea how much it's used in the banking world; just that it exists.)

So, your solution is to liquidate a bank that controls 2 T$, employs 265,000 persons and has over 200 B$ in shareholder value? Don't get me wrong, this fraud affected a lot of people but ultimately liquidating the whole thing will have a negative effect multiple orders of magnitude greater.
Where I work we are building a private cloud but the hardware will be all provided and managed by one of the main server manufacturers. Its private because no other company will use these servers and they reside within our firewalls. But we rent the infrastructure and are not responsible for maintaining it or capacity management. We are just charged based on our consumption of it.
I would say that to be a cloud it also needs an automation layer on top like openstack or vRA
I'm curious whether any physicists here have read this book and found its claims justified.

Which claim in particular? I recommend the book, not so much because of its conclusions, but rather because of its excellent history telling.
Oh damn it... that's a good point. What would the effect be if you got one into a critical part of a power or transmission station too? Not good I bet.
Is it clear to anyone else that 'yummyfajitas is implying that the kinds of students who attend poorly-performing schools are genetically incapable of academic performance?

I may be misreading. I'd like a second opinion. I'd rather not assume people I'm arguing with hold revolting core beliefs. This would not be, like, the first time I'd jumped the gun on something like this: I myself hold a (probably faulty) core belief that the median HN participant is likely to host retrograde beliefs about race, which is unfair of me too.
That's fine, a variation would be fine. I'm not a branding expert but any variation ("Soyful" as an example) would be fine by me, even if later they moved away from soy for whatever reason. I object just to their specific name.

You provide no evidence why one scenario is far more likely than the other. There are much more direct ways that Russia is winning favour with those governments such as fighting Syria's wars for them or signing a gas pipeline deal with Turkey.

Ships do not "loiter" in international waters. "Loiter" implies the loiterer is violating some rights the accuser imagines himself to have. Russia may be simply legally installing its surveillance equipment on cables it found in international waters. There's no 'loitering' involved here.

OK, those are good tips. Batch and freeze makes a ton of sense, though I'm not sure my freezer is up to it, and I do like the timer function on my rice cooker and instant pot (and also like rice, oatmeal, etc.)

I just wish I could actually find a decent and specific "sandwiches, salads, and crock pot" type 7-day (or even 1-day) meal plan out there that covered all the bases for times when I haven't done prep work. I'm a little lost as to how to combine the ingredients effectively--I know the concepts of nutrition, of course, but not the intersection of those and what practically works.
How Kubeadm Initializes Your Kubernetes Master
If you're to the stage of getting offered a position where you have to lose your bonus if you jump ship, there's no harm in asking for the 15% bonus you would have received as a sign-on bonus. Have you asked? Finding an experienced data science director is getting exceptionally expensive these days, and even at your current salary they may be way-lowballing you.

Megacorps tend to be a lot more stable than startups, and that may include the unicorn in question. Your current job probably has no expiration date (if no excitement either). Are you content with it being more likely you'll be out of work in 6 months to 2 years?
I've taken 15% paycuts for more interesting work (and more!) And I've never regretted it.

> The maximum number of characters ... (this excludes non-characters and surrogates)

You should exclude the surrogates but include the non-characters when tallying the characters. According to Unicode's 2013 Corridendum 9, "Noncharacters in the Unicode Standard are intended for internal use and have no standard interpretation when exchanged outside the context of internal use. However, they are not illegal in interchange nor do they cause ill-formed Unicode text".

I would on the whole agree that physics pedagogy is generally terrible. But there are a handful of textbooks that do an excellent job on explaining the WHY before the math. Griffith, as mentioned 3 times in the article is famous for his excellent books.

I'm not sure if you have read the Griffith's textbook on Quantum, but I would agree it does a reasonable job of introducing the topics before going too math heavy. The first 2 chapters are devoted to introducing concepts before the "boojums" of chapter 3.

But I wholly disagree with your assertion that QM should be taught _how we know_ before what it means. QM tends to need to get across 3 things to the introductory student, broadly, it's what the tools are (e.g. Schroedinger's, uncertainty principle), how they depart from the classical understanding, and what the mathematical foundations are (e.g. commutators and linear algebra). I think that just teaching the tools, then the math, then the departure is by far the best means of teaching QM. It's just too weird to contrast to classical. Contrasting to classical at all would lend the student to an understanding of QM in terms of classical, that is absolutely the wrong mindset to be.

I agree that Kubernetes is a game changer which makes it much easier to run your own applications. If all you have is VMs then the services (RDS, EFS, etc.) offered by AWS are more effective. With a container scheduler there is less maintenance and the decision is harder.

BTW Shoutout to Ev from Gravitational, they are proper Kubernetes experts and we appreciate their help on GitLab, especially making https://github.com/gravitational/console-demo for our k8s integration efforts.

If Russia was tapping Syrian cables... they'd do so on shore. They don't need to do it at the bottom of the ocean; it's the same way the United States taps cables in many allied countries.

It is rumoured that Russian SIGINT tipped off the Erdogan government of the coup, not American SIGINT, which would suggest that Americans were complicit with the coup. To win further favour with the Erdogan government Russia would love to pants the United States by showing they are tapping their "ally's" telecom infrastructure. You may remember the NSA also tapped Angela Merkel, the Chancellor of Germany, an ally. You may also remember the NSA tapped all Greek telecom as well; also an Ally. Do you think the United States isn't tapping the Turkish telecom lines?

The Israelis clearly have the Lebanese telecom system tapped in about a hundred different ways, from buried taps on shore to underwater taps at sea. Do you doubt that too? Wouldn't it be in Russia and Syria's best interest to help Hezbollah?

I'm Canadian, but if I were in the US I would be voting for Hillary. That said, I actually agree with you. I think most members of the media are understandably anti-Trump, but that bias is definitely coming through in the reporting. In my opinion, that does their cause a disservice. Simply factually reporting on both candidates should be sufficiently anti-Trump given his many transgressions. But when you regularly see blown-up stories like the kicking a mother and baby out of a rally, told in a clearly biased manner, it leads people on the fence to discount everything the media says about Trump, which results in him getting away with far more blatant lying that he otherwise might.

There's nothing at all wrong with this article in a vacuum, but there does appear to be a bias in article selection. (Although I suppose that some of that must also be simply because 'Trump' sells newspapers (or clicks or what have you.))
It sounded like they verified her speculation:

SMITH: Ashley tried to get another job in banking, but she found that she never made it very far past the initial interviews. She suspected that Wells Fargo had put some sort of black mark on her record somewhere. And it turns out that is exactly the case. Wells Fargo wasn't joking around when they said they would make it hard for her to find work again.

ARNOLD: No. Wells Fargo wrote her up on what's called a U5 document. It's like a report card for bankers basically. We tracked it down, and we asked Ashley to read what it said.

ASHLEY: Failure to perform job duties.

SMITH: Any bank - any bank that Ashley applies to will see this line, failed to do job duties.

ARNOLD: The form does not mention that those job duties were the sales goals that everyone we spoke to said were unrealistic and that are at the center of a series of ongoing investigations at the state and federal level.

SMITH: It just says failed to do job duties. It was the first time Ashley had seen it in print.

ASHLEY: It's like having a black cloud that's kind of looming behind you. And I'm always trying to get in front of the cloud, out of the cloud, into the sunshine, but it's always there.

> Why does exchange speed matter if your internal model shows profit at the current bid/ask prices and volatility

The implication is that every sophisticated investor who focusses on this domain (i.e. merger arbitrage with options) have probably either (a) seen and passed on or (b) already executed on the pricing you're witnessing. You need an extremely high level of confidence in your models to act. Given you are the less-sophisticated agent, the Dunning-Krueger effect merits consideration.

This is not a blanket statement against individual investing. Individual investors have been shown to possess statistical edge, particularly over 20+ trading-day time horizons. But if you're stacking yourself against the experts in a domain marked by legal theory, board-executive politics, other-stakeholder politics, shareholder-board-management politics, et cetera together with thinly-traded non-linear derivatives, you're unlikely to succeed.

Not sure about that. In many cars you have to take your eyes pretty far down from the road to look at the radio. Touchscreens honestly don't belong down there, I'd much rather have physical controls I can operate by feel.

Phones can be mounted in the visual scan across the windshield (close and small enough to not occlude anything).
Hmm interesting. I tried typing out similar syntax but it seems to be indenting correctly. Then again I don't use much ES6 if at all. So not sure. I'm sure they would care though :)
Yet another inequality to throw in the hopper
This is being operated at distances where you could just as easily hit the device directly with a hammer. To scale the distance up to just a couple of meters (say about 50 times the distance), you'd need to scale up the power by about 50*50 = 2500 times.

I suppose it is conceivable that a suitcase-sized device could disrupt the actions of pacemakers of people walking within a meter or two. But it could just as well cause trouble with much more conventional means.

When I was doing the beta testing for http://flockmetrics.com I was looking for people with SaaS startups and I ended up using a few different approaches.

I contacted people I knew personally that were involved in startups.

I asked a friend who was involved in a startup incubator to email the incubator's founders mailing list asking for beta testers.

I posted on the @flockmetrics Twitter feed and my own personal one.

I posted the site on http://betalist.com.

I cold contacted some people I thought would especially find it useful.

In the end I found it much easier to get feedback from those I had up front personal contact with.
