I would suggest that the issue is not international relations, but that these two do not have any official capacity. It is hard enough to get an official response to an official enquiry.

Imagine you are the secretary at the Bolivian Embassy. Your job is to answer phones and direct queries about visa applications. You get a call from random people saying they have the flight recorder from a plane crash. You know nothing about the plane crash (it happened ~35 years ago) let alone the rules governing investigations. Best case scenario, you take the caller's details and forward it to your supervisor who is equally ignorant and has his real work to do . . . the call is forgotten, no response comes.

This sort of scenario will play out in all government departments in all countries. Until the right person on one side or the other gets interested, nothing will happen. Unfortunately, the right people tend to be very busy and have probably not even heard about this development. Even if/when they do, it is a bit of a toss up how much they'll care. This is a really old plane crash, and the investigation has been closed.
On top of what others have said, we manage very poorly.

Reminder that most advance-fee scams do not originate from Nigeria. Such articles like this one stereotype Nigeria in a falsely negative manner.

>While Nigeria is most often the nation referred to in these scams, they may originate in other nations as well.

I've been looking at John Cleese's presentations on creativity, and suspect he's very much on to something with the idea of play and humour as key to real learning. I also think that there are approaches which take this too far (video games and such), though I've learned a number of things from unexpected places.

Neal Stephenson's Cryptonomicon, The Baroque Cycle, and Anathem, for example, are all explorations of ideas. The first two of business, banking, and money, in contemporary and historical times, respectively. The latter covers a great deal of historical thought.

Better authors of topics often incorporate humour in their writing -- someting the past few generations of academic literature would do well to consider. OTOH, it's a cure for insomnia.

One thing that ticks me off especially Match.com and I can't believe I fell for it .. is that when your subscription expires they suddenly say this average to above average looking chick(ones i aim for) is interested in you. Their profiles are hard to distinguish if they are legit or not. Usually the fake ones are hot have a few pics do not say much and they are looking for a guy from 20 to 70. Also, the real fake ones ask you to send a message to their gmail. OVerall not sure how the crap Match pulls is consider legal!

I definitely agree that the same weights won't be optimal for different domains. If you need to parse tweets, you should have a tweet-trained model. The tweet model probably shouldn't be thinking about Jane Austen novels. We want to open a model store where you can buy language and domain specific models.

I think 99% of the time there's one best algorithm, and even one best implementation of it. It's the weights, and sometimes the features, that need to vary.

Finally — I love displaCy too. Ines does great work :). Have you seen that we open-sourced this recently? It's now very easy to run locally, and connect up to the model you're developing. You can use this with any other parser, too. https://explosion.ai/blog/displacy-js-nlp-visualizer
When several voter ID laws have been shown to be explicitly about disenfranchisement based upon race and poverty (c.f. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2016/07/29/the-s...) I don't really need to accept your claim of good faith on this issue. You claimed that acquisition of a voter ID is some necessary demonstration of being well-informed or willing to make an investment when in fact the rules WERE crafted specifically to disenfranchise minority voters. Until you address this issue directly there is no common ground to be found and I will happily continue to beat you in court and at the ballot box.
agreed. i've found pyflakes easier to work with than pylint in terms of setting a minimum standard to enforce (in terms of running it with CI and using it to mark builds as unstable if there are any warnings/errors). pylint warns about various things that arguably aren't actual problems but might be good to clean up in some cases. yes, most of these can be disabled by configuration. on the other hand if you see pyflakes output it tends to indicate something is unambigiously wrong.
But the OP asked "What is the state of C++ vs. Rust?" and I answered "C is still significantly faster than Rust which follows that C++ is too" That is still true because we are discussing the current state of the languages and what you wrote does not affect that.

Btw, the last time this topic was discussed we measured the performance using a microbenchmark. Here is the C version: https://gist.github.com/bjourne/4599a387d24c80906475b26b8ac9... None of the Rust aficionados were able to produce a Rust program (using the nightly build of Rust even) that came close.

> So if it's me calling for a boycott of a bunch of people richer than me, is that OK? All the YC partners, part- or full-time, are richer than me.

Not advocating it of course, but you are within your rights to do so. It is not illegal or immoral. A boycott is very different to an employer punishing employees with firings for their political views.

That said; I also believe (not talking legal, this is my opinion) employers are within their rights to hire whoever they wish. Particularly they are not obligated to hire people who they believe will disrupt their company. It is best practice to separate politics from business, and still be aware that humans are political animals at the same time, I hope that makes sense.

Ellen Pao is unlikely to hire a libertarian, technocommerialist or neoreactionary but that is okay. However she cannot advocate against them by blackmailing other people, that would be stepping over the line. It would be wrong were Peter Thiel to lean on companies to fire Democrats and hippies, though he is highly suspicious about hippies.

> However, I can predict with some certainty that someday somebody's going to do something you don't like, you're going to make an argument that crosses the line you yourself drew, and that I'm going to be really amused when someone gives you the lecture you're giving other people right now, because ultimately the harshest thing I can do to someone like you is hope you someday get to live in a world that holds the values you've espoused.

Maybe. I cannot know future-me. However I do know I'm content for Communists to exist and they represent the furthest political position from mine.

My position is that exit (voting with feet) is preferable to voice (voting/media), so that if we have lots of variety intellectually and people are free to move from one position to another it shall produce more productive outcomes. That means that even groups of people I heavily dislike would have room to spread their wings.

I'm not sure if you're familiar with our political ideas but since they will be located in an independent Seastead or SEZ (similar to the factions in the Diamond Age) the fallout from awful policies won't affect me personally. At most interventions would only occur if people were being prevented from leaving. I think this would produce interesting results and a faster political evolution than the world witnesses today. After all I'm sure you'll agree, it is highly likely we both have strongly held priors that are false, but cannot know it until it is demonstrated. With competition and natural selection we can be more scientific about politics.

The integrity of our elections is not at risk, but the rights of many citizens to vote is being risked by adding additional burdens on casting a ballot.

42 here, started just before the Internet took off, when it hit, I jumped on full bore. Most of my peers that where a little older stuck with desktop and mainframe development. Most people don't realize how few of us where in the trade back then and even less made the jump to developing Internet technologies. So there is also a dividing like or epoch in programming where the entire discipline of development changed. In many ways the early days of Internet development was archaic if you where used to desktop development. It felt like a step backwards and development in handcuffs, so a lot of developers that had time in the industry just ignored it as there was still money to be made on the other side.

So if we look at 40 it really is a dividing line where of the few people that where doing development a small fragment of that group actually started developing in what would be somewhat relevant technologies today. Of that group, possibly only in the thousands, attrition has taken it's toll (the .com bust took a lot of them, which gets missed a lot in these discussions).

Now we have all had that bad interview, with a bad company that puts some kid fresh out of school in a lead role and he grills all new applicants on theory that is in no way relevant to what we actually do and anyone in the industry for a meaningful amount of time, has long purged that info from immediate recollection. But I don't see that as an age discrimination problem, I see it as a bad management problem, and a willful lack of understanding about technology and technologist on the part of business people (for those reading, first technical hire can make or break your company). Fortunately it has been my experience that most of those companies don't stick around for too long.

$60/year is too much for me. I have around 200GB data for backup now, slowly growing. It's $0.007 * 200 * 12 = $16/year for Google cold storage. Also I'm skeptical about "Unlimited Storage", there's always a limit and I prefer to know about it beforehand.

Of course Amazon Cloud Drive looks nice for people who wants to backup their media with little effort. I'm using a bit different approach, I'm backing up my data to a home server, but I need a reliable mirror in case of emergency.
I work in a heavily AWS-centric organization, so I've been using a "serverless" stack for a couple of web applications in the last few months. API Gateway/Lambda/DynamoDB for the back end, CloudFront/s3 for the front end and Cognito for auth. We integrate and deploy continuously using some internal tooling built around git, Jenkins and CloudFormation. The combination of high scalability and low overhead cost has been fantastic.

I think you're on to something. Say we record monaural audio with directional mics on/beside each cam, then encode and compress each stream, allowing for realtime stereo mixing during playback determined by view angle. Add a compass, accelerometer, gyro to track orientation. Couldn't we then achieve the desired effect and even simulate spatial audio effects, 6DoF movement in scene, blend UI sounds and add 3D sound to the environment? AR anyone? With a small peripheral you could emit a few chirps at diff frequencies and measure them using same mic rig to create a virtual map of the environment's acoustic characteristics and use it to render sound effects for composite elements, generated UI, nav feedback, similar to the way image based lighting is used today to make artificially generated objects appear as if they were really present in the scene.

Sounds like a good open hardware/software project but I'm short on cameras and mics for something like that. Anyone see potential there?

Combine with laser rangers and filters for their wavelength on the cams, and you can sample 3d point cloud data too and render the environment as a 3D (4D) scene, use it for composite reference, or slap a small LiDAR scanner under the whole thing for precise measurement.

Basically if anyone you don't know in real life asks you money this is a huge red flag. Like red flag of all red flags. People should condition themselves that once they reach their pockets for money then something is wrong, stop immediately and reevaluate. I understand that scammers sometimes are very good and you don't need to paranoid towards people, but once real money is involved your guard must go up!

I'd wager that Lewis Hamilton driving at speed would exhibit very different driving behaviour than I would.

With enough data we wouldn't need to just rely on measuring speed. Reaction times, steering behaviour and lots of other driving terms I am not familiar with can all come into play. Cross reference this with actual accidents and you could come up with a fairly accurate model of what makes a safe driver.

Depends what you're doing.

For most technical work, hacking, most coding, Linux is the way to go. .NET being a notable exception. I don't have experience of powershell but it doesn't make much sense to me to use anything but *NIX if you're hacking, eg bash is the de facto standard shell.

If you're using a laptop, Windows still has big advantages in terms of drivers, "just working" etc. But then I'd buy a MacBook anyway.

The general UI is fine with Windows 10. I actually prefer the task bar to OS X's dock and definitely to Unity.

But overall I find things still don't work here and there. Stuff randomly crashes still, you do find yourself restarting and reinstalling things. And I've only been using it rarely (colleague insist on using Windows).

In a word, I guess, "no".

Nigeria is #1 / #2 wealthiest country in Africa (GDP). It ranks amoung the highest in terms of advanced degree graduates in Africa. But it has a extremely low Human Development Index, there isn't much opportunity for the educated. Nigerians outside of Nigeria will generally be better educated than the local workforce but unable find work for various reasons. Common issue in Europe, where many 419 scams actually operate from.

This is a case of smart people taking advantage of the less intelligent / informed.
That's a problem when compiling via C (which admittedly is one of the major selling point of the technique), when targeting a lower level intermediate language or even assembly, custom calling conventions are an option.
>I think we must have different understandings of the term, it just means that people decide what they want and then act in the way they think will get them that.

Quite the opposite, actually. Homo Economicus has two things homo sapiens does not, and cannot:

* A fixed-a-priori "utility function". Things it wants before it has experienced life at all, with those "things" being linearly convertible into money.

* Model certainty about the transactions it enters: risk is accounted for using probability, but the model structure is, again, known a priori.

When you weaken these two restrictions in econometric and psychological experiments, you recover useful descriptions of actual human behavior. But those restrictions were ridiculous and unrealistic in the first place, unless you pull an economist's typical move and assume that a person operates like an investment bank with a fixed charter (ie: the fixed goal of accumulating capital) and a fixed set of actions (ie: available equity investments).
I highly recommend the "Arq" [1] commercial program for backing stuff up to these kinds of services. They support most of the big names (AWS, Google, Dropbox, etc.) and will probably be supporting the new Google options soon.

It does local encryption before sending your data up to the cloud.

Notably Arq restores all macOS permissions/meta-data, and there is an open-source test kit to show whether such a program does so.

It also works on Windows.

I have no relationship with the company, other than as a happy user.
