I have an idea. Can't we make national lotteries pay out in UBI, and use the results for studies? That way, those lotteries at least serve a useful goal.
Right. I tried to draw this in the diagrams.
Cite? Seems like a very broad generalization.

I probably agree that tourists are a net benefit, but like any transaction, they receive a good (experience of visiting a city), and pay a cost (part of which is to the city and its citizens); seems fair.

That being said, not all cities like tourists. Ever tried to go to the beach in New York? They are all private, you have to be a member of a club with beach access. That definitely cuts down on day trip tourists. Some cities in Florida with beach access have added taxes and regulation to keep spring break tourists away. The cost of those tourists was too high.

While I appreciate the transparency, I don't think such large salary differences are reasonable especially with remote work. In the end you compete globally for remote employees and it possible to work remote for SV companies and get somewhat similar salaries than the onsite employees.

...and of course is living much more expensive in SV but I don't see why that should be "subsidized". No harm in people realizing that it's freaking crazy to pay that much rent.
On the one hand, this is really cool. But, on the other hand, thats nearly $400 to use a $140 video card with a Macbook that's running Windows and basically behaving as a desktop computer.

It wouldn't be that much more expensive to just build a cheap Windows desktop with the same video card - especially when simplicity and low fuss are stated goals.

("Gaming computers" can be incredibly cheap. http://www.logicalincrements.com/ starts at $169, and the tier with a GTX 1050 Ti is $528. Also, given the 20% performance penalty from TB2, you could probably drop down a tier or two and still get the same result.)
The footnotes say that all the functions can be adjusted to deal with non–power-of-2 squares, but it's not obvious how this is done when working with region quadtrees.
The US has one major thing going for it when it comes to immigration. Being a melting pot, it is much easier for someone to come in and find a community of people from their own country to make the transition much easier. That, and English is more common as a second language.
Seems good. I'll add it.
We have more than one (dell.com/sputnik), several of which are less than $1800. If you're in Europe, you can also order online most of our Latitudes with Ubuntu too (should be able to by phone in the US too).
When using a single GPU, as is the case here, you will not be able to saturate a TB2 slot in any reasonable deep learning workload. For multiple GPUs, sure, PCIe performance matters, but for single GPUs it is not a bottleneck for any practical scenario I can think of.

Right now, I am working with large volumetric datasets (think 100+GB) and even then I am only seeing ~200MB/s peak transfers, which are well within the capabilities of TB2. In my experience, large datasets are bottlenecked by the hard drive, which is not a problem for modern rMBPs.

Edit: I am using a 2.5GB/s NVMe SSD, so the 200MB/s is the raw bandwidth used when mass-evaluating batches on the GPU. For training, I am seeing around 70-80MB/s sustained.
I've always heard the first group you mention called extroverts (while the second is introvets).

I have my old MBTI lit from college, and it seems to agree with that -- extrovet versus introvert has to do with your focus and how you relax.

A common introvert versus extravert trait (and is the main one I used for the labels) is that introverts compose internally while extroverts compose externally -- eg, introverts take a few seconds to compose a reply, then say it while extroverts tend to talk their way through coming up with one. That behavior seems to be the one the other introvert/extrovert behaviors cluster around. (It also is one of the fastest to bother the other -- expecting them to compose in the opposite style.)

Because we do these things subconsciously and intuitively, while math is done symbolically at a conscious level.

There are people who never manage to learn to do basic elementary-school math with fractions and percentages and yet manage to bet on sports and balance their checkbook because they're unable to translate their intuitive mathematical instincts into abstract formal math.
This is interesting academically, but I wouldn't buy a hacked-together TB2 enclosure.

Thunderbolt 3 eGPU enclosures are available now, and are fully supported by Intel and windows. They started at $500 with the Razer Core, but new models like the AkiTiO Node and Powercolor Devil Box are coming in at $299, shipping Q1 2017. More will likely be announced at CES this week.

These TB3 enclosures have 400w+ power supplies, better cooling, and are large enough to fit large enthusiast GPUs like the Nvidia GTX 1080. You can plug a TB3 device into a TB2 laptop with a simple adapter. Apple sells theirs for $29; Chinese versions will be cheaper.

Depending on what features the manufacturer decides to add to their device, TB3 eGPU enclosures can also charge your laptop, offer USB3 ports, gigabit ethernet, audio jacks, etc. The $299 models tend to be very bare-bones but there's no doubt that competition will lead to cheaper prices and more features over time. Again, watch for more at CES this week.

I'm pretty content where I am now (Chapel Hill, NC) but if I had Ludicrous Money I'd love to have a condo in downtown Chicago. I wouldn't want live in Chicago year round, mind you (too cold in the winter), but I love spending time there.

I'm also partial to the Portland, Oregon region, as well as New Orleans. Both of those would be pretty high on my list of potential places to live, if I ever left Chapel Hill.
> Does this sound like a reasonable step towards innovating in the recruiting space?

Yes, if you want to learn the trail...then saddle-up next to an Old Trail Horse.

Suggest by reaching out to friends in the community, ask who is the best 3rd party tech recruiting firm they know and why? Pro-tip, it's almost never the big national firms. Most often its a small boutique shop that can really hustle. Check out these folks > http://www.businessinsider.com/silicon-valley-best-recruiter...

Additionally, you can do an advance search via Linkedin to create your own hit list of target firms. Think of this as the Discovery Process, set up a Skype call or even better go see them in-person. Be prepared for an exhaustive process, upwards of 100+ individual conversations.

Develop a scorecard to help you determine a good match. For example you might probe for sophistication, tech savvy, and curiosity to see if the firms leadership is truly open to innovation. And importantly, if they're receptive to coaching a new hire in the Dark Arts of recruitment. A good firm is one that takes a consultative approproach with clients and candidates, that's rare these days.

Do you think we are in the final days of cash? Will we return to the pure debt based economies of the ancient world and never change course?

The US government's relationship with the global banking network is the result of very particular conditions following the end of the second world war and the end of the cold war. As these conditions shift over the next 10-20 years I'm not sure we can predict that these anti-privacy priorities will be maintained.
That explains a lot! After looking at some traces I started to suspect the same. I guess I should've RTFM.

I'm not sure that poor Americans expressing interest in Latino mass deportation policies really all that irrational.

If I were an employer of de-skilled labor, I'd also like mass immigration. I'd want the immigrants to exert downward pressure on worker demands. I'd want to make sure that worker strikes are meaningless, and that union demands don't have teeth.
You'll note that for a lot of online financial services, there wasn't anyone at all to serve low profile customers before robot-advisor/self-serving services came in.

There is a line (few hundreds k) where it's enough to play but not enough to pay for the costs of a human to help you (sales people/financial advisor/trader type).
Almost every sentence in this blog post is factually incorrect. Any agreement between the post and my comment is superficial.
extremely hazardous materials used to coat the original containers

What materials are those, and why is it safe for transporting goods and possibly items for consumption?
Great question. The database work is all done client side.

Here's an explanation of the architecture I wrote in 2009: https://spideroak.com/articles/why--how-spideroak-architectu...
Eh, the Wolfe looks like vaporware at this point. They cancelled their kickstarter and their explanation was vague and unconvincing. Their website hasn't been updated fully to reflect the cancelled kickstarter. I don't see a release timeline anywhere, and there's no mention of how their software works at all (but they do allude to a software key, even though they imply it's plug and play?).
I agree that it will take a while to see 5.x disappear, but hopefully not as long. I know there are many hosting companies that are lagging behind the times, but it should move faster since the market affords easier upgrade paths. The shared host that I have been using for years has had the option to migrate easily from 5.x to newer releases and now has 7 available. They took years to support reasonable versions of 5, but now it's a two-click process to switch versions and you can even downgrade. I am shocked that there are still hosts who haven't implemented easier PHP upgrade options and why people would continue to pay them for service when for the same price they could get better service. Old habits, lock-in or neglect will slow down PHP 7 adoption, not access or financial burden.
Should note that this doesn't work well for anything but the simplest posts since mentions and image embeds work differently across the two platforms.
That sounds a lot like the arguments that I heard in the late 90s, when the STL was new and dangerous. So "Modern C++" in the Alexandrescu sense, not even C++ 13/17.
Yes, gas and gadchets (computers, cameras, phones, etc) are cheaper. There are some fake imitations around also.

Respect to the car issue, even if its convenient to have one, you can probably go everywere by bus or bike. Islands have a reduced sense of distances and are a small world. Tenerife Island has around 70Km from one point to the other extreme. Other islands are smaller. Some people love it, other go into claustrophobic mode after a while. People often escape by ferry to other islands or fly to the continent some days to reset.
I'm sure they're just intending for this to be an initial product, but I agree, I don't understand their business plan at all. The people willing to pay 3x over a "good enough" backup camera are also the people who'd be first in line to buy a new car with all the bells and whistles in the first place. The market for this product has to be exceedingly small.
That's awesome. I'll have to check this out. I wonder what type of speed improvements one could get rewriting this with crystal-lang (https://crystal-lang.org).

This one was built by Russians for the first time. It looks like they went back to a domestic built one with SpaceX and it blew up. That's some bad luck :/

So you are saying that instead of a fair competition, you would prefer that people's lives are defined by the conditions they were born into and educated in? Wut?

You realize that those jobs are going away in somewhat near future right? Just like e.g. truck drivers?

In GPS time, a second is a fixed length and days are a fixed number of seconds. By my reckoning, that means it does not have leap seconds. The UTC leap second is just another normal GPS second. The UTC leap seconds aren't disappeared as in unixtime.

Most applications of GPS time would prefer to display UTC time (since that matches most civilian uses), so the broadcast includes the offset so UTC time can be determined by the receiver.
I wonder what the false positive rate is on perl.
The thing you're missing is that in this case UI is not something you can usefully make different without harming yourself in the process, due to it being a huge contributor to function beyond form, and "ripping it off" doesn't hurt anyone else as long as you don't actually impersonate them by copying their logos.
I would have certainly preferred to do this, but it would have involved a $2000 upgrade first! (Well, barring the TB3-to-TB2 adaptor approach, but I've seen almost no builds doing this.) Also, from what I've seen, there's a lot of uncertainty regarding eGPU support with TB3; many people have reported problems on TechInferno etc., and even AKiTiO is unclear about Mac support. (If you check the specs for the Node, you'll see that Macs are listed as unsupported. Does this mean OSX-only or BootCamp as well? Who knows?) Might be worth waiting a year for things to shake out.

Also, I was optimizing in part for cheapness. Truly great gaming cards cost $300 and up, and $400 total was about as much as I was willing to pay for an upgrade.
Mendix | Rotterdam, The Netherlands | ONSITE | https://www.mendix.com

At Mendix we want software to be delivered faster, cheaper and better so companies can innovate with IT and we're building the platform to do that. Our sweet spot is business focussed web apps. We compete with force.com and offer cloud based frictionless visual programming & deployment.

We are HQ'ed in Boston but R&D is in the Netherlands. Company is about 250 people and we received $40M of VC funding.

I'm leading the 10 person strong Cloud team which works with AWS, Golang, Java, Python, Postgres, Cloud Foundry. We build an enterprise grade hosting platform which runs thousands of apps with many more to come.

We're looking for Testers as well as Junior and Senior Developers with an interest or background in Systems.

Besides that we have many other open positions in R&D, from Software Development Managers, Product Managers to React/JavaScript developers as well as Scala engineers. https://www.mendix.com/company/join-our-team/

We typically have 1 phone screen, 1 interview, a take home assignment + on-site review and a meet the team and management session. We offer relocation and have the first interview via Skype if you are not based in NL.

You can email me at jouke.waleson at company domain, I'll forward you to the right people if you are not applying to a cloud related position.
Right now, converting a count of seconds (slightly fictitious UTC seconds, that is) since the epoch to a human-readable time is simple modular arithmetic. Any beginner in a programming language can do it.

If this conversion required knowing the number of leap seconds that have gone by, then simply displaying a human-readable time, or doing things at a fixed human-centric time of day like midnight UTC, would require a library almost as difficult to maintain and update as tzdata. In practice, some people wouldn't bother, and timestamps would gradually become ambiguous.

People on HN keep proposing tracking leap seconds the same way as time zones, and aren't thinking through the implications of having another tzdata-like layer that will display all your times wrong if you don't keep it updated. (Yes, GPS needs that layer. Most people do not program the GPS system.)

(also, just stop adding leap seconds, ffs, then this idea would work fine and nothing real would suffer)
Yeah, a i5-6600k is a bit over $200 right now, and Ryzen is just around the corner. If a TB3 enclosure was, say, $100 (then you'd add an appropriate ATX PSU) and there were reliable, tested cables (and OSX drivers), I'd be all over this. EGPU has been around for a few years now and has yet to take off. Hopefully TB3 will remedy this, but I'm not holding my breath. I think a lot of the blame is on Intel, and hopefully with TB3 now they'll fully support eGPU.

I agree that abiding by the regulations of a family home is not sufficient given how factually different the use of the property is and would also point out that this clearly enables a lower price as the hosts don't have to pass this cost along to AirBnB customers.

I would also point out that the is likely asymmetric information here, where, as you point out, consumers either don't know or assume that the fire safety standards are inline with industry norms. Regulation should definitely be designed to correct information imbalances between customer/seller.
Maybe over-engineered, but I really like the result in both the codebase and UI. I'm just curious about your terminology--how do you distinguish what is a 'snippet', 'wiki', or 'blog' post?
One way is to represent squares as a square-that-is-a-power-of-two, plus a “clipping size” that is used when the square is rastorized. If you’re using a lot of optimizations for blank regions, the extra padding has a negligible effect on performance.

A better analogy is you pump 100% ethanol into your gas tank, a sensor shuts it down, and you tell Toyota "This is actually perfectly safe for the engine for these reasons, here's why the engine manufacturer's safety document is wrong." I'd hope Toyota understands engines enough to have the ability to argue with you if they choose, but "The interlock is from the engine manufacturer and we're not going to overrule their judgment, please convince the engine manufacturer to remove the interlock" is a fine answer.

After all, you could just pump normal fuel into your car, which does have harmful side effects but it's also what everyone does. It's not like the current situation makes your car inoperable or unsafe.
