Well, just return the charred little bits from the smouldering ruins of your house. People today are so entitled.
I don't think it's either. "Scaling" refers to growing the amount of compute power you are using. This change falls into a different bucket, which is making more efficient use of the compute that's already available.

If they are running multiple Docker containers, the improved efficiency would allow them to run more containers per host computer. Maybe that's what they meant, although it's not really horizontal scaling either.
Under this rationale if the head of your company is anti-choice and finds out you are voting for Hillary Clinton he/she could say I am firing you because you tolerate the genocide of children.

Plenty of things to knock Trump on but any comparison to Hitler is nonsensical.
Great site! And thanks for taking my feedback in stride about the "tell people you heard it on oldgeekjobs.com" not being appropriate for the scraped jobs! The change (along with prioritizing paid ones) looks great!
One thing to note is that the risk factor surfaced in the dashboard is the primary risk factor, but the final risk level is a combination of many different factors--it's not accurate to say that the charge was blocked only because the card country did not match the IP country. That said, if you are certain that there are areas where there are high numbers of false positives, Radar does provide tools for making corrections (by writing rules to allow or send charges to review, for example). I'm happy to talk more about the specifics in your case if you send me a note (and definitely let me know if there's a way we can make this clearer in docs/product) -- I'm tara@stripe.com.

I have a constant stream of "would you consider this great opportunity?" on LinkedIn despite the fact that one can easily reverse-engineer my approximate age from my profile.

I'm sure they could, if they bothered to actually read it (which basically no one ever does). In general, "feeler emails" are a poor measure of serious interest in one's overall profile.

Basically they're just trying to ping you to see if (1) you're in the market and (2) remotely interested. Then they'll actually look at your profile -- and make the kind of assessment you would have thought they made before reaching out to you.
They ran out of fucks to give a long time ago.
Which begets the vicious cycle...
>The issue imo is that teachers tend not to teach the intuitions of math, rather they focus on the mechanics of it.

Yes. I agree generally--often even at relatively advanced levels.

The stats course I took in engineering grad school was so heavy on the math that I'm not sure I appreciated what the math was in service of. By contrast when I took a less math-heavy stats course later I much better appreciated the underlying principles.

But yeah, it's very easy to turn any of these math-related topics into: memorize the formula, plug the numbers, come up with a result.
>> Contrary to most belief, most men are not terribly impressed with a woman's ability to have a career.

Women do not have careers to impress men.

The argument underlying here in more blunt terms: men bring careers to the relationship and women bring emotional support/cleaning. (and these duties are apparently exclusive - he assumes a women with a career is less likely to be emotionally supportive, so we must assume a man with a career is less likely to be emotionally supportive as well - so we're really dead centre of the 1950s here)
How exactly is lying to the consumer about what you are selling them consumer-friendly?
As someone who leans heavily Democrat, I disagree. There are many Trump "supporters" who just extremely dislike/disagree with Clinton. That doesn't mean they back "all he stands for" much as I don't personally back the separate email server, HRC's coziness with Wall Street, etc.

We have a two party system. Support doesn't indicate 100% alignment.
>Being a Trump supporter does mean giving support to Trump and all he stands for.

No it doesn't, since when does supporting a particular political candidate mean that you think they are the epitome of perfection? It simply means that you believe said candidate to be marginally better on the issues you care about, than the next most likely candidate to win the election.
> What happened to our country?

This is some revisionist history. At best, just rose colored glasses.

1) There are still plenty of people that think the way you expect a classic liberal to think.

2) Hearing about it more doesn't mean more people think that way.

3) This country has a long history of persecuting undesirables for one reason or another. Black, hippie, commie, union member. What happened here pales in comparison to our past.

You also forget that hey, guess what? These employers have the same right to associate with whomever they choose. You'd take it away from them. Making everyone work in close company with folks they aren't comfortable associating with.

It just so happens in this case it was due to a Facebook post. Would you be flipping out like this if it was due to water cooler comments on the job?

Yeah.

Unfortunately, the fraud rate is just too high for us to do otherwise.

Here's what our current VP said in 1979, in a secret conversation with a Soviet official:

> Unofficially, [Senator Joseph] Biden and [Senator Richard] Lugar said that, in the end of the day, they were not so much concerned with having a problem of this or that citizen solved as with showing to the American public that they do care for “human rights.” . . . In other words, the collocutors directly admitted that what is happening is a kind of a show, that they absolutely do not care for the fate of most so-called dissidents.

http://www.city-journal.org/html/hidden-history-evil-13281.h...

So a vote for Obama-Biden was a vote for someone who secretly collaborated with the KGB in repressing dissidents. Sounds like cause for firing to me. Granted, the KGB no longer exists. But do the Nazis? The KKK?

The good news: in the future, robots will do all the jobs. We can all fire each other for our historical and political sins, and spend our time worrying about the KGB, the Nazis and the KKK, while our Roombas peel grapes for us.
I've long heard people talk about Spielberg's $150k+ average per shooting day, for 45-60+ days, plus second unit (and more even), plus set construction, plus actors. So, it's not far-fetched for big movies.
I don't want to rule out better algorithms developing very good approximations for what currently appear to be daunting problems like protein folding. But there are a lot of problems like folding out there where even a century of Moore's Law marching on wouldn't be enough to solve large instances with today's algorithms. And Moore's Law looks like it's going to do more shuffling forward than marching forward in the future.

So basically I agree with you: there's no generic march-of-progress that assures a world of Kurzweillian wonders. I want to see more concrete evidence of progress in relevant areas before I start entertaining life after the Singularity. (I expect a future profoundly shaped by many "narrow" AIs rather than AGI precisely because there has been so much concrete progress with the former compared to the latter.)

You're right that CSP has been influential more generally, but it doesn't relate directly enough to the history of the actor model, which is the focus here. (Though you can see, in the first paper specifically about CSP from 1978, citations to earlier actor-model work, and of course all the researchers involved had been following each other's work closely for years; a great amount of feedback was taking place continuously.)

>Plenty of things to knock Trump on but any comparison to Hitler is nonsensical.

True.

But then, after eight years of listening to my Republican friends compare Obama to Hitler and young black voters to the new Hitler Youth, maybe the jackboot deserves to be on the other foot for a while.

I mean, unless Hillary wins, then she gets to be Hitler.
Surprisingly, it does not mean that; it means that you prefer some of Trump's policies (whatever those might be) to Hillary's corresponding policies.

The way I see it, if someone wants to be tolerant of racism, sexism, homophobia, whatever, well, ok, they're a spineless milquetoast maybe, but ok. I can deal.

The trump supporters I know don't just tolerate his racism, sexism, homophobia, whatever, they endorse and agree with it. That's where I draw the line in terms of things I am OK with.

I don't want to live in a world with racism, sexism, whatever. I will gladly apply whatever pressure I have (mostly social, right now, maybe some day economic, but you know) to discourage people with those views from promoting them, in the hopes that eventually those views fade away.

(I don't even view that as a particularly brave act, by the way, to stand up and say "racism does not belong in the world and you need to stop"--I kinda view it as the bare minimum of what it means to be a decent person.)
It's important to remember that, more than ever, we have two very different Americas voting. America #1 thinks America is frighteningly conservative and wants to enact sweeping progressive reforms. America #2 thinks America is frighteningly liberal and wants to take lasting steps to repeal liberal policies, saving conservative moral values and existing ways of life from supposed extinction.

Both campaigns know this fact. Trump's strategy is to target #2. Clinton's strategy is to target both #1 and #2, so of course liberals (such as myself) do not view her as progressive enough, and of course conservatives view her as too progressive, because while Clinton is pushing a "stronger together" message, the truth is that neither of the two Americas wants to come together with the other. Ultimately, Clinton's messaging is most strongly resonating with voters who aren't sure which of the two Americas they belong to.

It's abundantly clear that Clinton will win this election, simply because people hate Trump more, but Democrats can't keep broadening their base without angering the left (i.e. Bernie supporters), and Trump's electorate could very well bring him (or another candidate) to victory in 2020 if the Democrats can't hold onto both the far left and the center right.

If true, the troubling part for me is this sentence from the article:

> He’s since deleted the post, and seems to have spent a better part of the last few years trying to understand and ameliorate the issues of homelessness and mental health in the city.

Basically, it sounds like he said something wrong (awful, even) years ago, recognized it as a problem (sure, perhaps after being told it was), and has spent most of the time since then working to gain a better understanding to avoid repeating that sort of statement.

To me, that sounds like a good thing. Unless there's more to the story, I'd expect he'd be less likely to cause the same (/related) problem again than most other people.
> Supreme court nominees neither candidate will be able to get through an obstructionist Congress?

FiveThirtyEight gives a 75% chance of Democrats winning control of the Senate. If that comes to pass, Clinton will be able to get nominees through through.

We also have no such regulation regarding the breast sizes of porn actresses. The refusal of classification is done on a "We'll know it when we see it" basis, much in the same way that many US laws are interpreted.

Sounds like you're under some mistaken impressions about First Amendment law in the US, particularly doctrines such as strict scrutiny. But to be fair, I'm sure that's true for both of us.

In any case, you've made an impassioned defense of the lawmaking process in Australia, but failed to answer my question regarding whether RCV would actually lead to improved outcomes if implemented in the US.
Would you mind explaining what prop trading is? I am not familiar with this term.

From what I know of market making however is that you match a buyer and a seller of an asset, correct?

If I do have this correct about market making. Are they playing ask buy spread? Whose best interests is the market maker supposed to look out for? The buyers? The seller? Some combination therein?

The S&P 500 erased all losses within a week, but selling soon took over again and the indices reached lower depths within two weeks.

So, arguably the rebound is what was odd not the dip. There is a bias when looking at stock markets that says up is good and down is bad. However, accuracy is vastly i more important for the overall economy.
Harpy's a rather unpleasant term to use, sure. On the other hand, at least around where I am Men's Sheds is a program that was created to tackle social isolation amongst elderly men, and the reason it's gendered is because the problem it's solving is (possibly because elderly women already have a bunch of gender-specific options). Given that, I can understand why someone wouldn't be terribly happy with people who campaigned to block it based on the fact it's aimed at men.
I agree that you could argue one interpretation over the other (as would happen in a courtroom).

I suppose, since we don't want to keep arguing, that it will remain unresolved.

There is a paradox about free software users:

He talks about the time estimate in the book. He says he understood the need for a time estimate, and so gives the one he thinks is best.

With their massive subscriber growth I'm not surprised, it seems a lot of the network investment they've been pushing has been extending coverage and in-building service with their Band 12 licensing. With them looking at deploying a "5G" network by 2020 I'm not sure if there are plans to add new cells right now, they have plenty of backhaul but the physics of shared RF spectrum is biting them now that they've had so many consecutive quarters of net subscriber adds.

Here's hoping they do invest in some more cells for my dense metro bretheren, because I enjoy 60Mbps at least day-to-day here in Boise :/
I'm fascinated by the histories of rigidly black-and-white, mentally disadvantaged thinkers. How do they arrive at their bizarre positions? Not even from an immediate train of logic perspective, but from a life perspective. Some chain of events led to that bizarre, defective brain state which produces such strange, incoherent thoughts; what events constituted that chain?

Could you tell us a bit about where you're from, how you grew up, whether or not you attended school, etc.? I think a little insight could help us all to be more tolerant of those with limited reasoning abilities.
Based on what, though? The hazard of dealing with Bayesian epistemologists is that they will confidently state percentages that they literally made up.

>I consider anything that makes a candidate look confused or stupid or ineffective politically loaded, damaging to reputation (in the context of an election) and therefore libelous.

The you are clearly misinformed as to the nature, facts, and purpose of libel law, and it would be a mistake for anyone to believe what you have to say on the matter.

Using an unflattering picture or depiction cannot be libel. Making a false statements (an in the case of public figures, such as presidential candidates) those statements must be made with "actual malice" or be published with a reckless disregard for the truth. N.B. I am not a lawyer.

> There's a big problem here: Parents are judged poorly no matter how they oversee their children. You watch over your children and make sure they're safe and supported? You're a helicopter parent. Took your eyes off your child for five seconds and he jumped into a cage with a gorrilla at the zoo? You're a horrible neglectful mother. Spoke to the principal of your kid's school concerning a bully or about putting some padding over the concrete at the playground? You're creating a "safe space" for your child and raising them to be a sissy. Being a parent is a no-win scenario in the eyes of public perception.

Replace "parents" with "people" and "oversee their children" with "live", and you get the problem on the higher level.
Interesting. I've been thinking about education and a few dynamics of it, including human cognitive development and individual differences.

1. Young children seem to have the biggest capability in learning languages.

2. There's the John Stuart Mill example -- homeschooled by his father in the classics and philosophy. Interesting biography (Wikipedia has a fair account).

3. There are children who are naturally skilled in art, storytelling, maths, sciences, music, etc. An opportunity to work to those strengths might be useful.

I've also noticed that a short period of instruction at the appropriate time often seems disproportionately effective.
