Wait, it wasn't already? I never looked into it to closely, but their marketing always suggested encryption was part of it.
This is definitely not the case in Ireland, and I would imagine the rest of Europe. While there is the odd tax that an Employeer might need to pay on having an employee (probably benefits related), if a job says it pays, say, €60k, that's €60k pre tax. Tax is then deducted from that and you get your payslip which displays both pre and post tax numbers, and you receive the post tax amount.

Why does 'directly addressable' mean 'not behind a router'? Unless you've got a weird ISP that's delivering you Ethernet, you're going to need a router.
Since the original article shows nice examples that there is no single "non-discriminatory way" possible - at the very least, you have to do the classic tradeoff between equal opportunity (and discriminatory outcomes) or equal outcomes (and discriminatory opportunities), you can safely assume that all companies use ML in somewhat discriminating way. At the very least, if they ask your ZIP code and it "matters" in their decision system in any way, then that's a positive sign of discrimination (one way or another) since it's so correlated with race among other things.
It makes sense they wouldn't; have costs of living in London increased since the referendum? I was under the impression rents and real estate values were down.

yep. once your bill rate hits $100/hour, hiring someone for $15-25/hour to drive you (assuming you can do billable work in transit) is a good investment.

It may even be worth it to non-billable work, like write your novel, learn a new language, build a side project, etc.

P.S. This "doing something else in transit" is a potentially huge benefit of the emerging self-driving-car economy.

Who says it has to be ugly? Get creative and make some art out of it [1].

> it'll be great, it'll be real convenient to do all that again when i move

This strikes me as a bogus complaint; there's nothing convenient about moving, IMO. The inconvenience of it rises with the amount of stuff you have. If you already have devices that it makes sense to wire them up, the inconvenience of setting up and tearing down cable runs when moving is secondary to having to move that stuff in and out of an apartment to begin with.

Take a step further: Human attention has become a currency more than ever before, and pandering to human biases is one way media companies have learned to earn that currency.

You used to need substantial capital to earn the reputation as a serious news organization, but now the barrier to entry is a vaguely-authoritative domain name and social media accounts.

This is interesting. One possibility, though, is that there are fewer career choices if you don't currently hold US or EU citizenship.

India's domestic market and opportunities are growing, but the monetary value of an education still does depend heavily on access to international labor markets, especially in the US and perhaps Europe.

Law, medicine, nursing, and various other fields may be attractive, but they aren't nearly as open as technology to people who don't have a current right to live and work in the US. Programming isn't locked down by regulatory bodies (which in many ways are cartels backed by government), whereas the US government has gone a step further to open programming and technology to international workers through the creation of specialized visa programs.

Although there is a greater cultural emphasis on STEM education outside the US, my guess that this is still partly a response to the relative difficulty in accessing international labor markets. Studying STEM is more favorable if you're looking outside your borders, whereas law, medicine, whereas the more tightly regulated "professions" are more attractive if you're generally looking inside your borders.
Yeah the big problem is that it's sold in the drugstore right next to real medicine. It really baffles me. I used some Zicam because it was in my parents medicine cabinet and I didn't really think about it, just said "shortens duration of colds? Uh, OK, I guess I'll try it." Didn't even occur to me it wasn't real medicine! Well turns out Zicam contained zinc that destroyed some people's sense of smell! Uhhh... Whoops. I feel like a damn fool, I feel I should have known better and looked at the fine print. I went and assumed something packaged and sold as medicine was medicine.
Yup, when that one goes its going to make quite a mess.
Of course propaganda works. Water is wet and all that.

The problem is a worrying lack of critical thinking.
Same in the UK - the amount quoted is before any tax is deducted. It is usual for the employer to deduct the income taxes themselves, though... businesses in the UK bear some tax collection responsibilities, of which this is one.

On top of the quoted figure, there is an equivalent of employer's FICA contributions. The rate is around 12.5%. Anyway, this is treated separately and you don't generally hear about it; employers factor it into their calculations before deciding on a salary range.

Exception: it's somewhat common for public sector employees to have the employer's contribution quoted on their payslips, perhaps to make them feel like they're paying into the system.
I did just this in the 90s and into 2000s with an amd dx4-100, FreeBSD, two network cards and a hub. Best firewall I could have asked for, reports out the wazoo, and was very reliable. And it was all free!
That's not a function, that's a closure. And you can simulate that in C by creating a struct that contains the function pointer and the set of captured data (and then when you invoke the function you pass the struct to it as a parameter).
I don't see why either is more difficult. For the functional version, you just need understand the meaning map and filter, and for the imperative version, you need to understand the meaning of for loops and append.
Looking for feedback on new free container image analysis tool
The second one might be obviously a single loop, but it is not obvious that it is O(n) and depends on the implementation of "append". It also tells you nothing about how the memory gets accessed and I'm assuming here that the for loop works just as well over linked lists and over arrays. In other words your knowledge that this is a single loop can be very misleading when thinking of expected performance. Which is fine because we work with abstractions such that we don't have to think about such details all the time, because that's not doable.

The first example is simply more abstract. It might be a single loop in case the implementation is lazy, it might be two loops in case it is strict. However, look closer. Those filter and map operations can be applied to basically anything you want, including asynchronous / infinite streams.

Your second loop on the other hand would have a hard time being translated to anything else than something that works on finite lists and that builds a finite buffer and not doing anything else while doing this.

Or in other words, your knowledge about this manual loop is not transferable ;-)

I really like the way this article introduces the concepts of integrating Lua into a storage system like Redis.

Shameless plug: the integration of Lua into Redis served as inspiration for our recent integration of Lua into Ceph/RADOS [1] for building custom object interfaces. I'll taking a cue from this article when we update our out-of-date documentation on the feature [2].

Yes, those things are also wrong. As are decreasing socioeconomic mobility, racially & religiously motivated violence, lack of code hygiene and unit testing, etc...

If you read my and other responses in this thread, the arts/humanities are far from useless (they just have a less direct economic effect).

Historically important art/music has often been ignored, ridiculed, censored, etc. To suggest that it only has social/cultural value if it appeals to a popular/paying audience is overly simplistic.

I'm not saying there's no overlap between capitalism and art in general, but if they're perfectly aligned then we miss the challenging, obscure, alternative, upsetting, disruptive, etc.
Is there a demo?

Not all bootcamps are equal. I've interviewed candidates from most of them, and the ones from Hack Reactor (the one that the author went to) were consistently of top notch quality.
We had a couple of agents show up at our door over something like $17. They weren't even from the nearest IRS office (50 miles away instead of 10 miles). Our theory is that they needed an excuse to drive up and try the new In-N-Out that just opened up in the state.
Huh? No, anyone who writes it in Haskell would not use those lambda abstractions. You would just use "filter isValid (map Person names)".
We're actually very good at it, but we insist on doing it wrong a lot.

You're not going to rationally logically reason someone out of a position they got into via completely irrational illogical unreasoning belief.

Now you might replace their irrational illogical unreasoning belief with another like faith healing or anything an actor in a tv commercial wearing a doctors white coat says is true.

As an analogy, in the history of mankind I don't think any Christian Creationist has ever been converted to evolution by throwing scientific journal papers at him. You'd have better luck setting him on fire or being torn apart by lions in a Colosseum and even that mostly doesn't work. But Christian Creationists DO convert to other religions every day, all the time, plenty of currently Buddhists or Hindus or Pagans or Satanists or whatever.
What is the value in that?

Markdown has two substantial benefits: Easy to store format that is easy to convert into HTML.

All native support would do is lot in a specific Markdown feature set, specific markdown styling, and specific Markdown syntax.

If you then tried to make a browser supported subset of Markdown that you then allowed to be customised, you'd wind up with so much goop that nobody would be happy.

How would that magic crypto work? Remember, it needs to stop both willful vote selling and coerced checking.

Your second paragraph ignores the fact that the current system of anonymous ballots prevents the problem quite well, as evidenced by fraud rates measured in single-digit-per-billion levels, and paper ballots allow recounts without any use of computers and have the nice effect of making tapering a physically-diverse hard problem requiring a conspiracy involving far more people.
Browsers already blacklist many visually similar characters, it seems that the IPA characters need to be added to that list.
But isn't much of that self-inflicted?

That is to say, Walmart purposely aims to undercut the competition on price and to save people money. If they deviated a bit from that mantra they could surely increase their profit margins. Especially in areas where they are now the main purveyor of goods after they've driven out the competition.
Sure. But you see, the prudent assumption is that adversaries always get all your email :)

Yes I linked to the current certs in the post text. The issue is with the domains that were deleted in the commit (also linked) which no longer appear in these links.

Black, labs, and a few others have their own certificate that no longer can be verified with fingerprints, since Oct 22nd.
That was probably just commemorating Leonard Cohen's death, and the certificate fingerprints were probably just removed because they switched to Let's Encrypt for those domains. But you never know.

Ask HN: What stories you want to learn from other coders/developers/engineers?

Looks like it's advertised as "zero-overhead", i.e. it gets compiled by Babel at build time. Not sure it would make a big difference for most apps though.

I think more importantly it allows you to use JSX inside of your Markdown, and use custom React components in place of normal HTML elements that Markdown would normally emit.

I like the idea of a <Markdown> component though.
There is an astronomical number of individual IPv6 addresses, but in most cases that is not really the meaningful number to look at, at least right now. IPv6 is not really supposed to be subnetted beyond /64, so that already slashes the network space quite significantly. ISPs are supposed to hand out full /48s to customers (probably does not apply to consumers though), so there goes another 16 bits. The basic unit that RIRs give to ISPs is a /32 (afaik). Which leaves far less astronomical number of individual networks left. 2^32 - 2^48 is no doubt still a pretty big number, but not really as mindbogglingly humongous as 2^128.
It has to be tied to my key. That means if people can get my key they can figure out my vote. That's an insta-no for me. Someone has to hand out the keys (since only registered voters can vote) so they can keep a record or be compromised.

In our current system you can find out that I voted, but not how I voted. That should be how it's setup.

The problem is, when given access to a large number of classifiers, some of which have inevitably been affected by a pre-existing racial bias, a black box machine learning algorithm will likely become discriminatory as well if race is not in some way represented and equalized.

This is simply not true. Black box machine learning algorithms will have the tendency to correct bias in their inputs. Insofar as they do systematically deliver wrong answers, this is actually called "variance" and has no particular sign. It's just as likely to be biased in favor of $protected_class as against that class.

https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/alien_intelligences_...

Also, you do know that Pro Publica's R script actually found no bias, right? The bias was actually in the selection of anecdotes in their article, which obscured the fact that their statistical analysis could not reject the null hypothesis.

Track changes in TFS tasks and bugs with CatLight notifier
The parent statement is very misleading. Here are some significant differentiators between email providers:

* Encryption in transmission emails sent and received, using SSL/TLS

* Encryption in transmission of webmail sessions, using HTTPS

* Authentication security: Do they use 2 factor or other tech?

* Logging and retention of logs

* Reading your mail to build marketing profiles and social graphs

* Access by employees to your data

* Retaining and sharing your personal data with other businesses

* Security of your account information; can they easily be persuaded to surrender it

* Security of the email provider's systems

* Responsiveness to 3rd party requests for your information, whether private parties in lawsuits or legal authorities with/without warrants

* Cooperation with government surveillance dragnets

Security always is a matter of degree. Email will never be perfectly secure but there are some big differences between providers.

I work for Amazon, yes.
So I was realistic about the companies I could apply to with no PhD/Masters (No Facebook AI Research for me). I also made sure I could have some sort of tangible projects completed. (Created a GAN to generate images of street signs, DL to predict steering angle for a car based on video feed, etc) Then I went around to meetups, workshops, conferences to meet people and learn. Then through talking to people in person I found some smaller companies that are implementing ML in interesting ways (self driving cars, building recommender systems) and applied to the two that I felt strongest about. The key though is that I met people from the company and talked to them about what they're working on and what I've been working on and if there's overlap, it shows that I can contribute to what they're working on. Every position has a requirement of some sort of degree, but I just ignore that and apply anyway if I've already met and talked to people at the company.
Yes, but deep learning is clearly the future. I'd love to fully unroll my rnns.

4 steps to defining the MVP of your idea
You have the dynamic mostly correct, but the motivations reside more at the partner level than the VC firm level. Individual partner IRRs are determined by the mark up they can report for the specific deals on which they have attribution.

When a VC pushes for a faster burn which then necessitates a new VC firm to fund the next round (perhaps prematurely relative to the founder's perspective), it's so that that individual VC can mark up their personal IRR.

Which may be relevant to their firm and the firm's fundraising plans to LPs. But could also be even more relevant if that partner is thinking about changing firms or starting his/her fund own. Individual IRR, based on deals with attribution, is the resume of a VC.

The effect of this is, junior partners push for this type of behavior more than senior partners that are already set with an impressive personal IRR.

This is pretty neat! I've been thinking of having a goal of writing one article + presentation every month, and this is the perfect workflow to accomplish both - write the article draft in markdown format, and then run this tool when ready to publish.

1. Is there a way to add notes to the presentation?

2. Is the {.big} notation standard markdown, or something specific to this tool?
