Right, it's unclear however the context of the YouTube results. If they evaluated on links bottlenecked at the edge at 128Kbps, BBR isn't really competing with Cubic anywhere.

This isn't to say that BBR is "bad" - just that it's not mentioned what the "quality of experience metrics" are. They're obviously not getting better throughput, and the only way they can improve delay is if the edge buffer is overprovisioned (i.e. bufferbloat). In that case (edge bottleneck, relatively low BW), I'd be interested to see a comparison to Sprout[1].

I've argued this many times when "socialization" comes up. So, other undisciplined brats should teach my kids how to behave in society?

It's my opinion that children learn much more from their time with adults. It's likely that there's another aspect to the "Lord of the Flies" effect - Children are being socialized by other savages at school all day, then they come home and are virtually ignored by mommy and daddy.
It seems like Asimov was totally trolled by the English lit. guy :) Good read nonetheless. I fondly remember the days of handwritten communication. It's a shame that we still live in the world where belief systems trump facts and facts are relegated to opinions.
> with many other student peers from all walks of life

That strongly depends on your school district. Chicago's shittier schools aren't likely to have too many cultures represented. My high school in Texas had a grand total of four black students throughout all four years, and three immigrants - one of whom was me. The rest was white and hispanic southern kids.
They are smaller than people think. Not counting the years of R&D, one average growth cycle for one white diamond actually costs more than what mining companies typically report for their cost-per-rough-carat dug from the ground. Mines use giant diesel earth moving and processing equipment, while we use scientists, electricity, and advanced machinery and alloys, but the variable cost-per-carat for rough diamonds are somewhat comparable.

From there, the cost for polishing, grading reports, jewelry, logistics, marketing, etc. are all basically the same whether the diamond was grown or mined. White grown diamonds are generally 10-30% less expensive at retail than mined diamonds, however most of that is just due to lean, vertically integrated companies. We grow, cut, distribute and retail our diamonds as well as jewelry, so have a bigger slice of the rough-to-retail pie. That extra margin isn't huge, but is enough to sustain the business as well as progress the research, development and production. Mined diamonds pass through many more hands between the mine and the consumer, and each step adds some markup. A mined diamond entity that only sells rough, only polishes, or only buys and sells polished mined diamonds at wholesale would see smaller margins, but that can be made up for in greater volume of mined diamonds traded.

It is also worth pointing out that the diamond success rate is sustainable, but not every growth cycle is profitable. While we can monitor the external HPHT equipment, we cannot see the actual diamond growth until after the cycle is complete. For example, a cycle may run for two weeks, but we find out afterward that it stopped growing on day three, or there were some bad inclusions on day six, and what could have been polished into a one carat gemstone (and cost the same to grow) may not yield anything, or may only yield a much smaller gemstone. The total production cost has to be averaged over the total successful sales. This includes growing diamonds that sit in inventory for a long time due to lower clarity, less desirable colors, etc.
Because church groups and extracurricular sports teams and home schools all have a stake in protecting the kids. School shootings, stabbings and drug dealings happen every day, and no one gets fired, no one gets in trouble, no one gets sued. It is very different with other groups like churches or sports teams.

If any other organization had anywhere near the track record for deaths and serious injuries and addictions that government run schools had with our children, it would be shut down in no time.
This is mainly a problem during rush hour, when traffic is always a problem everywhere. It might be exacerbated in that area but so much so that an average resident feels like they should be complaining about it? If your commute is from TriBeCa to FiDi (adjacent neighborhoods) and you're upset about losing 10 minutes to 'tourists' (even though, more often than not, people holding me up are clearly people who live here who don't know what common courtesy is) then talk to my coworker who lives on Staten Island and has to traverse water and take four forms of transportation to get to work, or my old boss who comes down from the tippy top of Washington Heights through some of the biggest tourist traps in the city and has to deal with more stops than you can count on your fingers.

I live in the Lower East Side and we like to go to the Financial District every now and then because NO ONE IS THERE. Go there for dinner or drinks on a Friday night or go walk around and make your way toward Battery Park on a nice Saturday afternoon. It's almost creepy, like a ghost town.

> It means never getting that babysitter on a Saturday night, or abandoning hope of ever getting tickets for Shakespeare in the Park.

Ok then don't have kids? Move to Jersey? Well-to-do people are displacing less fortunate people all over the city, talking down to them about not being able to afford to rent or buy groceries, and then they're complaining about problems like this?

I also used to ride CitiBike and yes there are people but there are also people if you drive a car, there are bikes and cars if you walk. This is a commute not a Sunday stroll or trail ride. You're participating in traffic, it can be dangerous and you need to pay attention which is true everywhere in the world.

Obviously there are crowding problems in New York City, I take the train like four stops to work and I absolutely hate the traffic as much as anyone, but the anecdotes in this article are pathetic relative to some of the other living issues people are facing here.
How could the average user possibly verify any kind of modern technology? Programming VCRs is too hard for almost everybody, do you really expect these people to understand even the most basic explanation of how their privacy is protected?

Looks like all Android-related projects, big or small, high profile or low profile, suffer from the same problem the iOS jailbreak community has: everybody with power or a voice in the community is either a whiny bitch or a brat.

Technical/legal stuff aside, all problems with projects related to the Android OS are all the same: immaturity, lack of responsibility, selfishness, etc.
Manufacturers want their product to be accepted for what it is, rather than a vehicle for defrauding others.

If someone bought a manufactured stone expecting it to have been mined (and paid the premium currently accorded to mined stones), the buyer might direct a fraction of their disappointment at the manufacturer, instead of the deserving fraudulent seller.

Adding a nigh-invisible mark makes it trivial for a jeweler to tell the difference, and stops all but the least-informed fraudulent sellers before they begin.

I can get those things right given a big enough time and money budget. It's just that I'd rather spend my days doing just about anything else.

TL;DR They have very similar cost structures as mined diamonds (rough [mine vs. grow], polishing, grading, etc.), plus the R&D and failure/success rates.
It's the oldest part of New York, and many of the streets in the financial district are as small as they can get. Parts of FiDi are reminiscent of old European cities. You can not narrow the remaining streets without introducing significant congestion; one does not simply shrink Broadway.

Downtown is also a major turnaround point for traffic, and significant commuter hub. It's too simplistic to suggest narrowing the streets without considering the impact it has on the rest of the city. That southbound traffic has to go somewhere, and your solution would probably just bump the traffic problem elsewhere.

As mentioned, there are separate bike lanes, but also quite a few suicidal pedestrians. I used to commute by bike from Wall Street, and the danger was always a pedestrian on their phone.

In other words, this is a complicated problem where all solutions can have negative consequences.
That's not an ad, that's genuine interaction. The poster is not an actor(or someone trying to act a role), not an algorythm, not a corporation, not a marketer or salesperson. We must learn to discern between stuff if we want to consider ourselves "real-worlders" or whatever. If you get the concepts mixed up in your mind then your discernment gets distorted and you start conflating what's authentic and what's artificial. That's why it shits in your head.
That's not the problem. The FiDi has no throughways, only local traffic. The only vehicles down there are taxis doing pickups/dropoffs and delivery trucks. It's just massively more dense than Barcelona.
A couple of thoughts:

1. If the process is being done manually, there might not be an adequate corpus to train a deep learning tool.

2. The business goal is not to detect fraud with deep learning. The business goal is to detect fraud.

3. Computational techniques that assist humans in detecting fraud are a way to achieve the business goal. Deep learning is just one computational technique.

4. Quick access to records of previous fraud for comparison by humans might improve detection. It's also a step in the direction of developing a training corpus because it might identify relevant features.

Good luck.

That sounds like a project manager to me. I'm curious if you have anyone with that job title (and if so what they do) or if your "team lead" is acting as a de facto project manager to fill a void.

If you don't have a dedicated project manager (which I suspect is the case), I'm also curious if you think your team lead is overworked. Maybe your team doesn't need full-time project management so it's more efficient to have this person split their energy between that and engineering, or maybe not and you'd be better off having someone who can specialize in that role.

“One of the problems with raising money is it teaches you bad habits from the start,” said Jason Fried, the co-founder of the software company Basecamp, who has written frequently on the perversions of the venture capital industry. “If you’re an entrepreneur and you have a bunch of money in the bank, you get good at spending money.”

But if companies are forced to generate revenue from the beginning, “what you get really good at is making money,” Mr. Fried said. “And that’s a much better habit for a business to work on early on, to survive on their own rather than be dependent on money people.”

I live in the area. Right outside my building is one of the heaviest trafficked areas in the city. A building across the street is being demolished, which means that side's sidewalk is closed off. On this side, a wheel chair ramp in front of a coffee shop eats up half the sidewalk. So on trash days, there is only enough space one person to pass through the bottleneck.

In other places, you have very precious sidewalk space taken up by signs in front of restaurants, sidewalk sheds, lamp posts, panhandlers, mailboxes, people smoking cigarettes, and of course, piles of trash.

Don't get me wrong, it's a great place to live, but there definitely needs to be some big changes. I think we should remove street parking to expand the sidewalks.
> 97% of the time consensus driven decision making means no deadlock and the other 3% of the time you can put decisions to a vote.

That's now how deadlocks work. You can't just vote your way out of them, if you could, you wouldn't be in a deadlock to begin with. You'd just be at the point where a decision needs to be made.

> If anything I've found that there's often too much consensus (people who just go with the flow rather than voicing an opinion).

That's a separate problem. A healthy and functional team needs to be able to trust one another's opinions and provide an environment where everyone feels comfortable speaking their minds. If you don't have those the value of intrateam communication is comically low.
That "Lord of the Flies" effect, assuming we're not talking about it in a hyperbolic sense, is children learning how to be adults and making mistakes. How do children gain experience socializing? By socializing. Not waiting until they are legal adults to spread their social wings... that just breeds unhappy, socially awkward adults.

Toddlers have atrocious fine and gross motor skills but we don't tell them to just sit still and do nothing until they're older: We let them play, explore, and yep... hurt themselves. We let them do things the hard way, so they can think to do it an easier way in the future. And I think the same philosophy can be applied to socializing.

I do understand there are school districts that serve large bodies of "latchkey kids." I was fortunate enough to avoid that in my public education, but I have less fortunate friends who came out fine-- several of whom had a much better experience in school that I did, weirdly enough.

And although I didn't exactly enjoy my time in school, I would never trade it for homeschooling. I had the foundation necessary to pursue my interests. And during my time in public schools, I've met several people in school I'm still friends with almost 20 years later.
You would not get nonsense, you would get emotional charge. Emotions can easily overpower thought-process. Because of this, emotional charge is the de facto force of social change.
MVP job site
I put this MVP job site up after reading a post about oldgeekjobs.com. This site is for accounting and finance professionals looking for jobs that do not require a CPA.

I have over 10 years of accounting and finance experience and do not have my CPA certification. I've held a senior level (Controller) and CFO position for over 9 years without a CPA. When looking for jobs I felt disriminated against because I do not have my CPA. There is no correlation between success in accounting and finance in corporate jobs between employees with a CPA.

Anyway, I just wanted to learn some basic web design as well as, I wanted to solve a problem I had while looking for jobs. If this site gets any traction I will work on expanding and upgrading it.

Property owners benefit from higher housing prices, in dense urban areas these are not typically the same people that occupy the dwelling. Renting out apartments on Airbnb removes that unit from the local housing stock, raising prices as demand increases and supply drops. This is why San Francisco is battling with Airbnb, housing is already expensive enough, having people sub-let apartments or buy houses only to put them up on Airbnb is making an already bad housing shortage even worse.
