The usual response is to stop the fire.
Ask HN: Does anyone know what image recognition algorith the app “Foap” uses?
Foap is an app that allows you to sell photos, but the system it uses for tagging is insane. It's crazy accurate and I want to know who made it.

Cleaner Pub-Sub Using the Event Aggregator Pattern
I wanted to browse your first link, but Amazon shows the preface, table of contents, and the index, which are the only parts of the book I don't really care about when I'm flipping through a book!

I wish Amazon would show a few random pages from the middle--the actual content of the book--so we can see what we're going to be reading. It seems like common sense.
Wouldn't it make more sense to impose a capital requirement, like on banks? E:g. if you're insuring for $X in total value, you need to at least keep $Y in a fund.
This is why alternative school structures like Montessori and pod-classes (ie, mixed grade) allow for some role-taking and giving students the ability to guide other students.

I honestly think a majority of education dysfunction comes with dual-income scenarios with "extended daycare" - If the children spent more time with their parents, it would help them really "socialize".
ZALORA | Singapore | REMOTE, VISA

ZALORA looking for Global DevOps Engineers.

Automation and HA will be your main goals. You will use Nix/NixOS to glue together a stack of Go, Memcached, MySQL, PHP, Solr and more.

A code review is the deciding factor (you either send in an opensource project, or implement our coding task). After that we'll chat, call and optionally meet to sort out the details.

Apply at http://jobs.engineering.zalora.com/apply/lOd9Ir/Global-DevOp....
Other positions (frontend, backend, Android, iOS, to name a few) are also available at the same site.

"why would end consumer care? […] This is a purely emotional response"

Most consumers buy diamonds on emotion, not ratio. If you're buying something to carve into glass with, you don't care. De Beers (very successfully, so far) markets natural diamonds as something you buy to express your love with. If you did _that_ rationally, you likely wouldn't buy a diamond at all.
Depending on where you are it is likely you cant get it or only in specialized shops :/ But a few wider spread brands to look for:

* Camille Bloch

* Munz

* Cailler

And if you ever are in Switzerland make sure to stop by a Läderach
I thought the drop-off points for large buildings could be a very reasonable justification for extending the tracking window for a few minutes on either side of the drive.

I understand that this could fall into 'data necessary to provide a better service' as opposed to simply providing the service as-is, but it seems like drop-off point locations are quite fundamental.
Whatsapp was ethical, the problem is with the company that bought them. And they didn't necessarily know that when they sold (even if, an offer of that size is hard to decline).
I can't speak to MBE, but for CVD I mostly just googled around and read any papers I could find. However, IIT Madras has an entire course on the subject, all of which are on youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fsDO7gUBYjg

I've been learning a lot from that, though it's focused on laying down semiconductor layers; most of the info on CVD diamonds seems to be locked away in proprietary processes for various manufacturers. I foresee a lot of failed experiments in my future!

You have a good point. A friend of mine works at Yahoo and he regularly gets emails from management encouraging everyone to show up at the Yahoo booth at Gay Pride Parade. Sure, Yahoo wants to be at Gay Pride Parade because they want to be seen as an open and accepting place. If Yahoo does not participate, it looks bad because every other big company (read: Yahoo's competitors) attends Gay Pride Parade too.

But now we have a problem. What if there are conservative employees who do not support gay marriage rights? Should their opinions and feelings not count? If Yahoo is an open and accepting place, then it should be just as acceptable for a manager to send emails to employees inviting them to Straight Parade, or to "Anti Gay Marriage" Parade. But if that were to happen, the manager would be fired immediately.

Being against Gay Marriage rights is a political opinion, just like being FOR Gay Marriage rights. Isn't it discriminatory that a company like Yahoo is only allowing one opinion to be heard? In fact, isn't it problematic that Yahoo is promoting ANY political opinion in the first place? For Yahoo to remain an accepting and open work place, it should either have no political agenda at all, or it should promote all political opinions equally.
Bit of weird news.

Not a totally apples-to-apples comparison, but I used to work for a large law firm on the East Coast. I started in July, and for my first year's bonus, received a crisp $100. Seemed low, but it was the same for my entire cohort. Probably just company policy. They liked our work, the company was doing well, and bonuses were fine the next year.
If they can write some code that can classify metal into one of its 72 sub-genres then I'll be truly impressed :)

Although I wonder what that would do to the metal scene if their main topic of discussion and contention got completely solved.
There are some reasonable limits. Like, if A gave a peer bonus to B, then B can't give a peer bonus to A for some time. Also, some limits on the sending and receiving sides, but I have not heard of hitting them except one case, when an engineer fixed a nasty bug affected thousands of engineers. He got many tens of peer bonuses the same day, but only had first N of them approved (which makes perfect sense)
We ran into a similar but much easier to identify problem with PayPal - any products we sold containing the words "Cuba" or "Havana" in their title or metadata, regardless of the context, would cause PayPal to reject the entire payment with a meaningless error and no indication of what had caused the problem.

PayPal refused to admit to us that this was the cause and insisted they couldn't shed any further light on the issue despite the fact we could trigger it 100% of the time.

In the last few weeks it's started randomly choking on the word "Pharaoh", God knows why, and God knows why it only does so about half the time, but I'm not going to bother asking PayPal about it.
If only need 5 mins after the trip, Uber is in strong position as large user to work with Apple on how to extend the existing background API to cover its use case.

Both articles from 2014. Uber 2014 and Uber 2016 are different companies, probably 5x the number of employees and has matured substantially especially with employee conduct expectations. I would be shocked and angry if something like that happened today.
I only skimmed it, but I'm feeling this is exploring the world of fashion models more than Instagram per se, or at least being in that world incents a certain behavior.
It's fine to wonder if tech if serving us correctly, but also it's good to know that some people have very different lives from us, and thats ok too.

A great writeup and I feel it's a welcome reminder of some important points:

- your programming language and runtime aren't equally good at everything and never will be
- you have to choose your environment based on your anticipated workload
- you have to understand what your anticipated workload actually is
- you can't just treat the garbage collector as a magic box that does the memory thing for you

Unless, of course, you're writing software which is nowhere near the performance boundaries of the system and never will be.

Can't say I share the author's surprise about the JVM's performance, but I never did like Java anyway.
In a previous job we had a small office with just 4 toilets. About 10% of employees were female. There had originally been 2/2 male/female toilets but that was changed to 2 male, 1 female, and 1 unisex toilet. That worked well in practice.

So I agree that unisex toilets can be a good idea, but it's a different matter to protest against binary gendering on toilets. I wouldn't like to work for a company that partakes in politics.
My wife and I were just talking about this today, coincidentally.

She follows a few people around the world who are artists or collectors on IG. She pointed out to me that when she started following some of them more than a year ago, they had a few hundred followers, and were posting general stuff, but which all felt heartfelt and 'in the moment'. I think 'genuine' was the word my wife used. Kids doing silly things. Artwork in various stages of completion, etc.

But now, she has noticed a couple of them have rocketed to over hundreds of thousands of followers, and their posts have changed to become quite soulless and fake. Obviously they have been engaged by a marketing or promotional company that sanitises and sets up their posts for them.

All of a sudden, an artist who was formerly struggling to raise a family and make meaningful work is announcing (and posting photos) that they are in [insert brand name here] health spa having a weekend pampering. Continuous shots of not the art or kids, but of bath products, massage companies, drink companies etc. all heavily hashtagged. Following up a few days later are pictures of the kids, but this time around a brand new laptop with the manufacturers name and laptop model hashtagged to the hilt.

As @sAbakumoff pointed out here - this is "Black Mirror" Season 3 Episode 1 come to life. I have nothing against someone doing promotional work to earn money to live, but I do have a problem with people portraying a totally fake and unrealistic life as a reality.

We are just seeing magazines starting to push back against "Generation Photoshop" and go back to 'real' shots of people again (Pirelli 2017 calendar a case in point), but are we now going to replace Photoshop with 'posed reality'? I know a lot of us do that to a certain extent on social media anyway, but not for discounts or monetary compensation, usually.

It has occurred to me that bonuses don't suit me well. As a software engineer my ability to work rests upon many different layers of knowledge (my trade), assumptions (there will be electricity at my client's office when I arrive), beliefs (I will get paid).

I work hard to make sure each of these elements are in place, so that I can free my mind of them, and focus on my work.

Well a bonus turns one of my most important factors for employment into a variable, based on my performance. This is a cognitive load that I refuse to bear while carrying out my trade.

If you read up on research regarding bonuses they also seem to lead to worse performance when it comes to cognitive tasks, and I'm unwilling to work with a company that doesn't use data, facts and reason as some of their driving factors.

I once spent an evening talking a friend down from a really nasty spell of paranoid dissociation after she ate the recommended dose of a legally purchased pot cookie in Washington.

I am in favor of legalization for many drugs, and bad trips can be minimized by attention to set, setting, dosage, and purity (I suspect quality control at my friend's bakery was shit and she got way too much of something or other). But the notion that bad trips are anti-drug propaganda and recreational drugs are perfectly safe is dangerous and hurts people.
I fundamentally agree with you about giving only as much data as necessary. Personally I don't know why we force a binary decision on location tracking. If it were Google or Facebook doing it to me, iI would be distressed.
As far as I know the location data a phone company has is not as fine-grained as GPS. But I agree with your point that a person's call data records are very sensitive information.
> Anyway, long story short: fuck those guys. Polish your resume and tell them you're doing it.

This.
But what are you actually doing in those 15-minute slots? What is your standard of productivity? I've never met someone with kids who was able to work as effectively as I am at the subjects I work on in the presence of their kids.

I mean, I have a girlfriend I only see on weekends, and that's already a huge drain on my productive time. It's made me noticeably dumber.
Zenefits should show a counter on their site to each logged in user: "Get the state law changed and we will refund you the $24,545 you paid us so far." Let a few hundred thousand businesses see that amount in their dashboard and see if it affects the support of the law.
That's not how trust works.

The University of Washington has been doing a more in depth study of the minimum wage increase.

The result (as of July) is more complex and nuanced (and difficult to extract) than the article suggests.

https://evans.uw.edu/sites/default/files/MinWageReport-July2...

I would think that proponents of minimum wage laws would present a model for why minimum wage laws have no effect on employment or hours worked; rather than declare victory and go home. It's unfortunate that the article's author doesn't seem to care.
We use something similar at our company, we use the http://www.achievers.com/ platform for this.

We get new credit every month, which we can give to anyone in that month, but if you do not give them away they expire.

We do not talk about big bonuses (as I am aware the credits value is different by location, at mine it is much less then 100 USD for a month), but yeah, it is abused.. Some colleagues just exchange it on the end of the month.

If this inhibitor hypothesis were true, an experiment could be set up to determine which component/combination of components in the old-blood actually plays the inhibitor role, with injection of separated part by component of old-blood into the young mice, more or less like a binary search. After knowing the exact combination, it would be much easier to target the inhibitor itself.

I run construction projects for my company, but rely on a lot of outside players (arch, CivE, Struct, MEP, GC). Huge part of my job is just managing the individual strands, and finding out when one of those subs talks to each other but doesn't update me/my company. I've had almost no luck having these groups sign up for something like a light collaborate work tool.

Instead it's all e-mail and face-to-faces (at their high billing rates). Slows me down so much compared to my internal projects where we can have a Slack chatroom or google-docs/evernote organization system to keep track of everything.
I'm not sure whether you're talking about the parent poster, or their boss, or both. I kind of agree with 'both'. But isn't that how it's meant to work? Business is business and personal is personal and you keep them separate?

- In a few years all Uber's loyal drivers who use it to get by and feed their families will be screwed over by Uber.

How can anyone call Uber ethical ... it's the epitome of why Hilary Clinton lost as it's all about making huge profits for a very small subset of people at the expense of the majority who Uber is just using to get filthy rich.

Public swimming pools can also be found in most european countries, and western europe is not exactly a collection of failed communist states.

There is a nice ring to the ideology of freedom, but practicality beats purity, and when it comes to the social cost vs reward of public institutions, the cursor in the US is way off.

If swimming pools are out of the question for you, free education and health care are an easier starting point.
