Are you familiar with the provisions of the Family and Medical Leave Act? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Family_and_Medical_Leave_Act_o...

I am not saying it will satisfy all your concerns. It is just my experience (having worked in an HR department a while back) that most people are not familiar with what is in there. It doesn't provide mandatory pay, but it does provide a lot of protections other than that. I also find a common reaction to it is to assert that it should do more, but when faced with the question of what to do when people start deliberately gaming it, the objections become a bit more muted. (Yes, in some sense it sucks that there's a condition on how long you've been employed before it kicks in, but it's quite unclear what the alternative is that would work in the real world.)
Not only not trivial to port those but they are constantly will have to play catch up and be at the mercy of NVIDIA in regards to spec.

AMD is in a catch 22, support CUDA and be effectively in a constant catch up position, not support it and continue to be ignored by the market at large simply because the momentum NVIDIA has managed to achieve with CUDA over the years.
Yes, some other ideas have been shown valid too, in some specific cases, including aspects of Lamarck's thinking.

But I think it's worth stressing that the primary force that drives evolution is still very clearly natural selection. Not epigenetics, not genetic drift, not randomness, not "spanners" and other structural mechanisms, etc. It's remarkable that Darwin's idea has stood the test of time for so long. He just got it right. Where other influences exist, they tend to be interesting corner cases.

Also worth noting that the main exception to natural selection is sexual selection, which was also introduced by Darwin. We shouldn't over-idolize scientific figures, but Darwin was truly remarkable.

Wikipedia is currently -- for the second time -- trying to delete its article about the actress who voices/sings the title character of "Moana", on grounds that she's only notable for that one film and thus doesn't "deserve" to be written about separately from it.

It got such high marks because mainstream audiences love action and violence. This is crystal clear if you consider the content of blockbusters, excluding dramas and comedies. They're virtually all filled with action and violence. That's what most audiences want.
It's way too early to be making guesses like that.

Micro-trends are mostly meaningless with stocks, unless you're trying to do high frequency work. Stock shifts and changes to small extents all the time based on the quirks of all sorts of trading companies, and each of Especially if there hasn't been any significant news about the company, and this isn't significant news. It's interesting, but it isn't really threatening Nvidia's dominance or profits at the moment. AMD needs to make a bigger name for itself in the sector, start picking up some splashy customers before most of the market might react.

Looking at the bigger picture, Nvidia stock is up 160% so far this year, but has been fluctuating a bunch over the last month or so, and it's still well within the scope of those fluctuations.
Quite possibly—most likely the PERQ and Three Rivers Computer stuff is the hardest to find, though I don't know how much of it is already out there.
My company builds software to analyze customer feedback.

We use "real" ML for sentiment classification, as well as some of our natural language processing and opinion mining tools. However, most of the value comes from simple statistical analysis/probabilities/ratios, as other commenters mentioned. The ML is really important for determining that a certain customer was angry in a feedback comment, but less important in highlighting trending topics over time, for example.
The issue with Japan isn't that maternal services are ineffective; it's that they're both underfunded (both shortages and high costs are common), and insufficient to overcome the other penalties that Japanese society imposes on working mothers.
My kids were born 11 and 13 years ago... can I get a job there and take those 40 weeks retroactively?
Exactly. Parenting has significant impact on a child's development that cannot be replaced by nannying or daycare. The same can't be said for other types of care.
Interesting. I've never seen one in London. I think that probably speaks partly to how long the adoption cycles for these types of things are, and partly how high the property prices needs to get before they pay for themselves.
So you completely didn't read the part that begins "I gave it another try.." before downvoting? (Yes, it's an edit, but also, yes, it was made less than 5 minutes after my initial post and a good while before you replied and before the downvote brigade hit.)

Anyway, I put my money where my mouth is and I reported each issue that I encountered with hyper on Github (the links are above) before giving up on it (for now). I'm not a bandwagon hater nor a bandwagon fan, at the moment, hyper is not ready for use or worth the hype. In a month, it may be. I'll revisit it periodically in order to re-evaluate my findings in the interest of using the best tool for the job. All these years later, putty remains the most compatible, but I can't figure out how to use it locally on Ubuntu/bash for Windows (if I can get an ssh server working, I could just start a loopback session and use that). For now, I'm using cmd.exe and conemu.

I believe that to be true, but that's probably because I fall in the article's category; I don't think I will ever stop working. Maybe not the same thing (I do many things already that have nothing to do with coding, but for now I like coding the most). If UBI, I definitely would have started out when I was younger with very different work. If it comes now, I would not change anything.

Hi I'm an engineer at Distelli. The "AWS" option is a UI utility. When selecting this option while adding an existing cluster you will be able to easily identify where your cluster is situated by inspecting the Distelli UI under the Clusters tab. This helps users to separate where their clusters are located/hosted visually in the event they are running clusters in multiple clouds (as some of our enterprises customers do).

I'm reminded of the movie Idiocracy.
Can't wait for the general sentiment to turn to match. Whereas PHP has been sneered at by non-PHP devs since time immemorial, JavaScript is seeing widespread uptake by supposedly "senior" people across the spectrum.

I've asked several of these people to explain the attraction (one of whom had a fascination with the even-worse CoffeeScript) and thus far I have not really come across a satisfactory explanation. To me, JavaScript is still the language you only use when you have to because it's the only runtime the browser vendors will embed.
> it means it can predict things

All the other Math areas call that kind of prediction by "interpolation". It's not a magical property that only ML has.

I'd draw the line by the name. An algorithm is ML if it includes the computer deriving a complex model based on data gathered on the field.

I disagree that the vast majority of people are following the dietary guidelines (they aren't just AMDRs) I base my assertions from. However, unless you/I present evidence for either case, it's a non-starter.

You're ignoring the complexities of insulin/components of a healthy diet/physical activity regarding carbohydrates. Technically, you could just eat only protein and survive. Doesn't mean this is the best advice and without many complications.

Of course carbs have higher insulin response as insulin regulates blood sugar uptake. Fats dont produce sugar, therefore insulin is unrelated. And many, many things cause weight gain, including fat intake for some.

Current guidelines allow for up to 35% of total kcals to be fats, with minimal/no risks. This encourages plenty of consumption of fats for energy. Perhaps if we continue our extremely sedentary ways then this will be raised higher in the future.
Google and Cuba sign deal to store data on island's servers
This is really cool and it's clear that a lot of work went into it. I've used it a bit and it's generally solid.

I've been looking for improved terminal clients for years. To that end, I have a simple benchmark that I run:

find /

Then repeat the same within a tmux session. In both cases I check to see if I can interrupt the output with Ctrl+C.

Hyper on linux under X actually stops rendering the output very quickly, but all subsequent input is ignored. The tmux case was the same. In addition, CPU usage spiked to 2 procs each @ 100%. Interrupting the shell was not possible with Ctrl+C or other means, though I was able to `SIGKILL` it.

This particular test is my personal benchmark of whether I can use a terminal - because nothing is more frustrating than having to kill an entire session because of a typo or bad command that generates a lot of output. Too, clients that struggle with this also have a tendency to slowly render changing curses layouts on large terminals - such as when resizing tmux panes, or rendering large amounts of scrolling content in a sub-region of the terminal.

This is a simple case, and many native clients struggle with it as well. So far, although it's not my most-favorite to use, `konsole` is the only one that handles this well.

What is Estate Planning?
Lemme explain how it works.

The first thing you need to be in a > 50% raise situation is an employee that was acquired for incredibly cheap. (Epic combination: one of this first jobs + don't know the market + just came from abroad). [That makes your first two points moot because that guy is the one making significantly less money and he's not identified at the right level].

The second thing is that he's actually good and he's been working for 1 year here, doing valuable stuff. He's gained a lot of value in the meantime and he can totally leverage the job he's done to sell himself in an interview.

Let's give some numbers. The dude started at $80k base with little advantage. Over time, maybe he's gone up to $90k and you got an incredible healthcare plan. It's fine from your point of view.

From the point of view of your competitors. Your guy has been vetted by your company. He's proven and he may even have rare skills that are now easily noticeable. They will offer "market rate" and fight each other mercilessly. The package will be around $150k base (which is nothing extraordinary for that position) + $40k in yearly bonus/stock that he didn't have at your company + various other advantages + they'll also pay $50k in recruiter fees cuz he went through a recruiter.

Now, you've got a guy that is paid $90 at your place that other companies are willing to pay upfront $240k to acquire. Hope they'll never find out about your gold ;)
Even as a child-free libertarian I have no problem with the state subsidizing child-bearing. Seems similar to nation defense. Without it, as you say, society, and particularly our own set of cultures and values that we have curated, will not survive.
> Darwin had not published his ideas, because he was afraid of a backlash.

And he had good cause to be worried. Many initial responses were very negative. And although consensus shifted to firm agreement with him, a small but strong opposition exists to this day in multiple forms.
Whether or not parental leave affects career prospects depends on cultural and employer attitudes. Even after hearing your experiences in Scandinavia, I still think career worries are a legitimate concern for taking parental leave in eg the United States.
If you look at existing employment relationships, it also depends a great deal on how much leverage the employees have, not just on what pleases owners.
No one said we should ignore this other concept. All I said is that we should name it something else.

Are you seriously asserting that naming clashes validate political opinions, or that some large group of people's political opinions would suddenly change if only they knew the statistical meaning of bias?

Yes, I think this use of "bias" is meant to mislead. Specifically, I think the term "bias" is used to make people think machines are drawing incorrect conclusions (that's what "bias" means in the dictionary and in most common uses of the term).

There are two separate concepts:

1) An algorithm refuses to issue loans to blacks even though those blacks would pay the loans back.

2) An algorithm refuses to issue loans to blacks because they would not pay the loans back.

You want to use the term "bias" to describe both situations; I think this will mislead people. Specifically most people will think "bias" means we live in situation (1). I want to use "bias" to refer to (1) and to use a separate term to refer to (2).

Why do you want to conflate these two situations?

People like to moan about Zimmer (and I do loathe his scores with a passion) but he just gives the studios what they demand: A score that fits a deadline, certain quality standards and the budget. If it weren't for Zimmer someone else would have filled his role. It's just what happens to a product or industry that is past its heyday. The same happens, for instance, within the garment industry. Once a (non luxury) brand is well established it "optimizes" the costs of its clothes until people complain that the quality has become unacceptable.
Doesn't matter. Saying you left the US to avoid a certain attitude that is not special to the US is nonsense and insulting to the group as a whole. It would be different if mabbo was specifically trying to avoid that single person, but that's not the case.

Ketone bodies can be used by the brain. It prefers glucose, but you don't absolutely need it.

Lets say for a second you're right and you need glucose, though. 65% is a really high number, and we basically know exactly what it leads to (obesity).
This kind of goes along with what I've been thinking about working in general recently. Now, I'm an armchair economist at best, but it seems like as a society, several beliefs we have about work are incompatible with beliefs about the value of human life and with the real world.

I mean, we have this ideal of individual self-determinism in the United States, which suggests that anybody who is willing to work hard can get a job and become successful. I think that is becoming increasingly untrue, if it ever was true, but I think recognizing this point will be very difficult for our society. It seems like the two most obvious routes would either result in a massive welfare system, or abandoning the idea that everyone is created equal in an egalitarian sense.

On the other hand, climate change is a huge issue. It would be interesting to see how much greenhouse gas emissions are creating by work of various necessity. I mean, on one hand, you need to grow food for people, and that seems pretty important. On the other hand, the greenhouse gas emissions used to construct billboards/advertising, and then light them seems like energy that would be very easy to save. You could cut back on greenhouse gasses in food production in various ways of course, but removing entirely unproductive jobs from the economy seems like it would make a much bigger splash.

I mean, if those jobs were removed entirely, not only are you not using energy to product worthless crap, but you don't have billions of people travelling to a place where they do useless shit every day.

I really don't like this solution (especially as someone who works in marketing). I have no idea how society would even structure itself. I think it's incredibly unlikely to be implemented in a successful manner, and I think it's far more likely that we just destroy people and technology until we are back in a place where everyone needs to be industrious.

That's a really negative view, so I hope I'm wrong on all counts.
But that option requests a Key Name. What that key would be? there is no arn identifying a kubernetes cluster on aws. It also requires aws credentials, but if distelli manages the kubernetes cluster, you can't do much with the aws credentials
It's been flagged now, but at least we get some context as to what was flagged.

Totally agree with flagging something that seems to be so off the topic.
Taxes for married filing jointly are usually lower than for married filing separately.

But taxes for married filing jointly are often higher than for two single filers. This is especially true for higher incomes.

As a really simple example, consider two people both with $100k in taxable income, after taking their standard deductions and personal exemptions, in 2016. As single filers they would pay $21036.75 each in taxes, for a total of $42073.50. If they were married filing jointly, they would pay $42985.50, which is more. That happens because while the first two bracket boundaries (10% to 15% and 15% to 25%) are twice as big for joint married filers as they are for single filers, after that the boundaries start to converge. At the very top, the 39.6% boundary starts at $415k for single filers and at ~$467k for married filers....

There are also nasty perverse incentives where if one member of a married couple has a high income the other one can't contribute to IRAs in ways they could if they were just filing as an individual filer.

Is there anybody on here who has successfully dealt with depressed employees/co-founders?

Yes, I know of one well-known company which gave one of its core team members an unlimited leave of absence (with a believable promise that they'd be welcome to come back any time in the next 2 years). The key aspect here is that this was a small-ish, (then) family-run company -- and in many ways, the team was like family, too. Also, this was well before the current hyper-accelerated "My startup's growth plan über alles" ethos that we have today -- so even aside from the family-run aspect, people at least did generally have some perspective on the human side of things (unlike today).

I feel as if the best thing for the business is to let go of him, but it's a shitty thing to do.

Absolutely. Definitely don't just fire the guy. (Aside from being a shitty thing to do -- I'm assuming it's abundantly clear already that there's a significant chance that could backfire in ways that could hurt the company far beyond the current loss of productivity).

But (absent an actual, forced leave of absence) it may be a good idea to ply him with a significant amount of paid leave (4+ months), with a suggestion that he put aside any idea of working full-time for quite a bit longer than that -- plus a statement that he's not only welcome, but very strongly encouraged to re-apply at any time after 6 (given that it's basically too complicated legally to outright promise someone a position will be available for them in the future, given the way business conditions usually go -- which I'm sure he can understand, in his current condition).

Things happen in life, and sometimes you just have to do the right thing.
And still the documentation on the web site is only up to CentOS 5.

Even complaining to a team member did not nudge them towards maybe, just maybe adding a link to the RedHat documentation which they consider the CentOS documentation, as well.

I was not trying to make any judgement calls on whether the 'significant coverage' clause is a good one to have or not... I was merely pointing out to the parent comment why 'notability' is not simply a restatement of 'verifiability', and why someone might think 'notability' is the more subjective of the two.

Obviously, as is the case for any subjective category distinctions, there are examples so extreme that everyone can agree which category they belong in. That does not change the level of subjectivity there is.
