I guess it's arguable whether it's worse or not, but CO2 doesn't typically kill any wildlife whereas oil spills do.

There is a certain percentage that is leaked from every pipeline in addition to the large leaks that occur during tanker and drilling accidents. Even a small percentage of the large volume they extract is a large volume to pour on the ground.

I'm not sure why you think the concentrations of oil in the soil occurring naturally approach even the smallest pipeline leak; would love to see some sources though if you have them.

National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC) | Alexandria, VA (just outside Washington, D.C.) | Full time | ONSITE

POSITIONS: Senior Database Developer, Software Architect, Software Engineer (Java, Javascript), Program Manager - Data Analytics

The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children® is a non—profit 501(c)(3) corporation whose mission is to help find missing children, reduce child sexual exploitation, and prevent child victimization. Since 1984, NCMEC has served as the national clearinghouse and resource center for families, victims, private organizations, law enforcement and the public on issues relating to missing and sexually exploited children.

Why NCMEC? At NCMEC, engineers work on interesting problems which help further the mission of protecting children. We frequently work with large industry partners (Facebook, Microsoft, Google, etc.) and get access to tools like PhotoDNA to assist with automating processing large amounts of data. The organization is working towards an enterprise framework which will consist of microservices, design patterns like CQRS and event sources and a variety of database solutions.

NCMEC offers great benefits (automatically contributes 7% to retirement), relaxed environment, developer benefits (PluralSight subscription), etc.

> I thought that it was potentially illegal to use exams like this to hire, which is why it's convenient to use universities.

Any place where it would be illegal to use this kind of question (at least, for anti-discrimination reasons) it would be illegal, on the same basis, to use university background (or anything else) that acted as a proxy for the same type of questions.
Great comment. Let me reply.

The content of all articles is sourced from our experience on working on commercial products and open source projects, no just plain though sharing.

Let me share some more insights on the previous topics:

- "Relational vs. Object/Mongo store" this article is based on our experience at sourcelair.com. Choosing Mongo for our main data store has caused us more problems than it solved, and we have spent tons of hours working this out. After running this in prod for 3 years, we have a strong opinion on this that you should not use an object store for your main back-end unless you are a super exception.

- We we choose Swarm: Docker is a relatively new tech and while its adoption grows it has not yet the maturity and footprint of projects like MySQL or Postgres, so each case diverges more from another. This is why here we talk about "When does it make sense to use this" instead of "You should do this".

Hope I covered your question, but feel free to continue the discussion if you 'd like. It's an interesting topic.

Also sugar, like salt and chili are all ingredients where you can adjust how much you need if you don't do it too often.

I.e. if you don't eat a lot of sugar it doesn't take a lot of sugar for you to feel satisfied by the sweetness, and vice versa if you eat a lot you need more and more (which is a huge problem with sugar in alot of food today)

Same thing goes with salt and chili.

A little bit off topic. Which AV do you use on Windows? Do you run AV on Linux and Mac in the background, just like most people run on Windows?

There is relatively less malware which target Mac or Linux. So it generally doesn't affect them so often as it happens on Windows. But if any of you can recommend a good lightweight AV for Mac and Linux, it will be great.
I imagine a lot of the specific detail has been omitted to avoid this exploit being used for malicious purposes.

>50,000 blue ray discs' worth oughta do it.

By this logic, the handful of megabytes of unicode making up War and Peace in the original russian should be enough for a non-russian speaker to fully grasp it and all its meaning and implications. It isn't even enough for a native russian speaker to do so.

Humans aren't raised by simply looking at their surroundings, they're raised by interacting with people, who were in turn raised by interacting with people, going back for the whole history of humanity, or arguably mammals. That information isn't all in the genome, although natural selection has put some of it in there. The bit that we don't know how to describe information-theoretically is the bit that isn't in the genome, because we don't know how it's encoded.

I don't see how you'd even try to put bounds on it: this is essentially the problem posed by post-modernism/post-structuralism/literary theory, once you strip away the marxism, and science's response has understandably been to reject it but it can't do so forever if it wants to create AGI.

Or maybe I've misunderstood your point.

I might be pursuaded that a 2 year old could come sooner than we think, via brute computational force as you describe, but I'd argue that a 2 year old with the capacity to become anything more than a 2 year old is much farther away than we think.

EDIT: if, as you claim, we are close to having the computational power to simulate human children, then why aren't we already successfully simulating much simpler animals? IIRC the best we can do is a tiny chunk of a rat, or the whole of various kinds of microscopic worms, and those are just computational models, not turing test-passing replicants.

It IS possible to get lucky on content aggregation sites without any magic. I've had this happen for me in several places – HN, Reddit, Medium. But it's very hit and miss. You can post something great and have it totally miss 9 out of 10 times. Most people aren't interested in sifting through the new stuff – they just want to engage with whatever's already popular. If even 5-10% of a community was committed to rigorously assessing new submissions, then quality would rise to the top – but most people tend to just upvote whatever is already on the up-and-up.

This "Mathew effect" is the case with a lot of things – book deals and record deals, for instance. Unknown artists occasionally do get their big breaks by being in the right place at the right time. But if you're managing one (even if it's yourself), it makes sense to improve your odds by being systematic, and yes, basically cosying up to the gatekeepers whoever they are.

That's how I do it with mutual fund shares, which would be a similar situation to Bitcoins due to it all technically being one "pot".

If you use a tax-lot specific accounting method FIFO/LIFO/highest cost/other specific, you just need to track which "lots" you've already sold out of (fully or partially), and ensure that you don't sell something twice. Now, if you used average cost at some point, you're kinda screwed if you want to switch to specific lot.
Introducing Prototypo v2
Actually, the coefficients are only 16 bit, they are just widened before the loop. AVX2 and later are not widely supported, but there is pmuldq in SSE4.1 which is appropriate here. It takes 32 bit operands and and produces a 64 bit result. Because its result is 64 bit (as it should be by the way, because truncating to 32 bit will overflow on real-world FLAC files) it can only do two elements per operation. A few adds can be vectorised too then, but you still need a horizontal add to get the final value. I think it is possible to get a small speedup, but definitely not the 4× or 8× that you might hope for with SSE/AVX. But at this point I would say that this is a pretty advanced optimisation, not your average "vectorise all operations in the loop, increment the counter by 4/8 at a time" transformation that a compiler can do easily. I am impressed that the Intel compiler can actually vectorise things here.
Being able to filter by amount of RAM, SSD/HDD and maybe the most common CPU lines, would be nice.

T's official: Your Periodic Table is now obsolete
Rather than complaining of incompetence and ignorance, you might supply some actual corrections...
I don't see much disadvantage. It's not like Tesla is designing and manufacturing the batteries they use all by themselves. Sure, they have input --as Boeing has input w/re GE engines.

Given that Tesla will be charging for their networks, it's not an advantage over other charging networks, so overall it'll be a non-issue. Having dealerships does grant the traditional MFGs some advantage but that may erode in the future if dealerships become less necessary in helping the sales of cars (ie. become more on-demand fleets). ICE car MFGs also have _capacity_. Tesla does not have the capacity right now.
