They may also get better at hiding their bias. May not even be conscious but as a side effect of blatant bias being called out while hidden bias is not. It would also be harder to study because our bias detection algorithms largely focus on blatant bias.

For me anyway, I don't care as much about software changes because I have lots of choice, and can rewrite something or switct to another software package if I want to. There is literally nothing on the market that matches apple's battery life on their laptops so any changes they make that are deal breakers for me are a big deal.
Hi there! A lot of the fraud detection we do is actually anomaly detection, where we're not training a classifier on a labeled dataset, but instead creating a model that can surface unusual behavior. The subset of data that we surface is then passed to human analysts. What they care about, generally, is a low false positive rate, because false positives waste their time. We talk about this a bit more here: https://skymind.io/case-studies/orange Sorry if that doesn't quite answer your question.

A friend of mine deployed a small FM radio station in Bethlehem ~10 years ago using a commercial radio product that was built around yellowTAB ZETA.

Why does Apple still insist on such large bezels when the industry is shifting away from those for displays?

Rather than potentially usable display area we have more large bezels, yet again.

Take the 12" Mac for instance - Apple had no problem shrinking the bottom half of the computer yet retained the large bezels, whereas they could've utilized the area to place a larger display panel in while retaining the same footprint. The resulting incongruence looks odd IMO.

Mockup of what I think the display should look like:

When I was 13, in 1996, I used to dream that everything was possible. I dreamt of a personal drone that would look at the streets from above (unthinkable at the time, energy-wise), and a mini-computer in my hands to drive it, so I would find my way in a new city, find out where my friends were, send them little objects, do awesome stuff on the little computer, never be idle while waiting for someone and never miss them just because you were waiting for each other on the wrong side of the building.

I often wonder what kids can dream of, today, given all of this happened. The only parts of my dreams which haven't yield are AI and infinite energy.

But that means that I need to know which express routes are going to need what data. The react components should be able to declare the data they need and the server should be able to fetch that data before attempting to render server-side. There's not much of a point if I have to know ahead of time what data any react component rendered by a route will need.
Not the OP but vim in VS Code is good enough for me.

> Why do we have guardrails for LSD? Works fine for me! Why do we have national guardrails for weed? It's legal in my state and works fine for me! And why in the world is alcohol legal? This is a toxic substance, it's seriously risky for me, and putting it out in the open could lead to bad decisions on my part. We should ban it!

Why should we have guardrails for guns? Works fine for me! It's legal in my state and I use mine responsibly! To suicide prone and mentally unstable people this is a deadly tool, it's seriously risky them. We should ban it!

Your and my ideas of individual freedoms are different. You (probably, based on your political leanings) believe that guns are bad and should be banned. You believe that particular freedom should be taken from individuals (but retained by governments). You believe that drugs are good and should not be banned. And the faulty logic you use is... "people should be able to harm themselves and that's why drugs should be legal. Guns harm others therefore they should be illegal." The elephant in the room, of course, is the death and damage caused accidentally to others by people under the influence of drugs.
I think HN was a lot healthier when YC was new and young and their ethos was they a give a few bucks to two or three young guys who shoot for ramen profitable. And that succeeded and now they have all kinds of dough and are trying to find and fund The Next Unicorn.

Kind of like how HGTV started as a low budget thing aimed at DIYers and turned into Lifestyles of the Rich and Shameless after it got successful enough.

I don't know how or even if "startup culture" can be returned to its roots, but I think that's the problem right there. Now YC imagines it shall save the world or some crap and is running a Basic Income experiment and has, imo, lost its way.

I don't hate startups, but I hate what has become of the culture recently. It wasn't always like this.

May be is just me, but I can't possibly enjoy a vacation knowing I need to get back to look for a job. I much rather negotiate with my employer taking 3 to 6 months off without pay to go travel, or 3 to 6 months part time. Not an option for everyone, but if you're good and you're in a company that values you that's a very realistic option. I have a small kid and soon a mortgage, so what I will probably end up doing is negotiate part time working remotely for ~4 months so I can travel with my family.

It's a prediction about 2019 GPUs, so there are still years to go before an acquisition or licensing deal is critical.

The same claim is repeated at the end of this Oct 2016 article, http://vrworld.com/2016/10/20/intel-skylake-nuc-skull-canyon...

Edit: on second thought, acquisition or licensing would need to take place long before 2019 silicon shipment.
Ok, it shouldn't have turned in the direction it did, but thanks. I'm going to iterate to phrasing more carefully.
Not as general or useful as Rust's "if let", though. Rust's "if let" affords fallible pattern matching on arbitrary types, not just on "nullable pointer types" (in Safe Rust, a "nullable pointer" is simply a regular reference wrapped in Option<>).
The only significant licensing cost we have is SQL Server, and yes, we have considered alternatives, like PostgreSQL.

On one hand we would reduce costs by going to Postgres, on the other there would be a significant cost retuning all our SQL so to have an acceptable level of performance.

I have a few reasons why node-style callbacks are absolutely the worst possible choice, so I'd like to compare.

Here are some:

1. Not values. Values can participate in expressions, can be passed as arguments to functions, can be returned as values from functions, can be stored in variables, arrays, etc. There are no values with node-style callbacks. You are throwing away half of the language capabilities regarding values and expressions.

2. No guarantees. Callback may be called multiple times. It may be called synchronously or asynchronously. There is no way to know what will happen.

3. Bad semantics for thrown errors. Its assumed that thrown errors will simply crash the process. This is a dealbreaker in node because every uncaught thrown error provides a vector for denial of service attacks, and the thrown error semantics of most libraries and the standard node library are pretty bad.

Bingo. Additionally, any "book on life skills" is going to emphasize:

1. Building an emergency fund

2. Funding retirement account

3. Paying down debt, highest rate first

_IF_ I've managed to "put away a lousy ten grand" it's gone into one of those things, not into a discretionary spending account. Further, even if I was to become so fortunate as to have $10K in discretionary savings (which, by the way, in the real world is an awful lot of money for working folks), I'm sure as shit not going to blow it on an international vacation when I'm surviving on my emergency fund without an income.

5 Failure Hacks
I don't know where you came up with the "Many seed-stage investors don't require introductions" theory, but you're mistaken.

First, the example you use--YC--is not even seed stage. It's an incubator, and is one of the extremely few opportunities where "just submit a compelling application" works.

Also, this is not even about angel investing. All business deals involve human beings and people tend to trust people who came through an intro. It's the law of nature.

It's naive to think that angel investors are just clamoring to fund any random startup just because they have no connection to VCs. From my experience it's very rare to find investors who don't have herd mentality--nothing wrong with that, they're just being human.

Awesome!

I wonder if instead of using a boolean field in the Segment struct, better results might be attained by using a tagged union (enum in Rust-speak):

struct Point {
x: f64, y: f64
}

enum Segment {
Degenerate {
p1: Point,
},

Full {
p1: Point,
p2: Point,
p3: Point,
p4: Point,
}
}

impl Segment {
fn upgrade(&mut self,
p2: Point,
p3: Point,
p4: Point) {

match *self {
Segment::Degenerate { p1 } => {
*self = Segment::Full {
p1: p1,
p2: p2,
p3: p3,
p4: p4,
};
}

_ => ()
}
}
}

I wonder if you could also get away without using the has_first_segment variable by using the Vec::len method:

if segments.len() > 0 {
segment_number += 1;
}

Of course, that's assuming the author doesn't find a better way to represent the pattern of accessing the previous, half-built segment. I suspect you could perhaps do so by creating a mutable partial Segment on the stack from an iterator's first element, and then actually looping over the remaining items in the iterator to actually construct segments, adding them to the Vec as you go.

EDIT: It doesn't look like this thread is going anywhere, but I saw a comment on the Rust subreddit to use a Point struct which I quite liked, and incorporated here.
