An isomorphism is more than a bijection, unless it is between sets and the category is the one of all functions from one set to another.

Isomorphism is about preserving relations as well. For example, consider the ring of integers and the field of rational numbers. One can construct a bijection between one to the other (they both have the same cardinality as the natural numbers), but they are significantly different constructs. The bijection would not be able to preserve the operations - in fact, the rational numbers as a ring is significantly different, and unless one wants to use information about the cardinality, a bijection between the two is otherwise worthless.
I've heard that Tensorflow is built to take advantage of multiple GPUs automatically, whereas Theano (by default at least) can only make use of a single GPU.
Assuming the Thunderbolt 3 device has a type-C female on it, you could simply plug the TB3 connector on the dongle into the device, and use a TB2 male to male cable to connect it to the laptop.
Huh wow, I went to uni with that guy!
Typical node being ninja stealth. I guess not technically a language on it's own.

We had one as well. We're rendering VR with barrel distortion applied in the main vertex shader rather than as a post-process. Saves an expensive framebuffer (some mobile GPUs take as long as half a millisecond to switch render targets) at the cost of a slightly heavier vertex shader. It also requires geometry to be tesselated for the distortion effect to work.

We had to write our own polyfill for our implementation but it beats the post-process technique of webvr-polyfill quite easily.

That's how UE4 and Unity3D do barrel distortion as well.

Ask HN: Time to find something on a screen affected by color?
I was watching a lecture by licklider where he mentions

"On the subject of color, Bert Green at Lincoln Labs back in the early 1950s did an analysis of how color should be used in displays. He found, for instance, that if you have a display screen full of words printed in different colors, the length of time it takes you to find a word is directly affected by the color scheme. For example, suppose you're to find the red word "alpha," and all the words are red but in different orientations on the screen. Discovery time is the same as if "alpha" had been presented in black and white, and there hadn't been anything but the ones that were represented in red. That is to say, the color essentially rules out all of the other stimuli. This seems like a very worthwhile thing to know in the design of displays."

Can a designer explain to me what he means?

Could you give an example of "problems you'd otherwise use AES passphrase-encrypted ZIP files to solve"? Do any of them involve sending the data anywhere (i.e., the sender and receiver are the same person)?
>People talk of pension like they're a sacred right of workers yet nobody will address the fact that they're entirely unsustainable

If I go eat an expensive meal and, when the check comes, say "sorry, these prices are unsustainable, and making money is not your sacred right" I would be arrested.
Some of these languages (ponyc) are still...prototypes. Yeah you can get them working for a limited set of "working" and with very specific setup->configurations. If every language included a Docker or VM with it already set up for some level of demo, I think a rate for adoption/learning them would uptick.
I agree.

It's interesting that you use a metaphor of "going deeper." The way I came to the same conclusion (that, at some point, all of us share a common goal) was to view the problem not 'deeper' but more and more abstractly -- you can get to a point where you've abstracted away any specific rung of, for example, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs.

And while, yes there is a limit to how far we'll get without wide-spread introspection of our own thought-processes (as opposed to our thought-content), we could afford people the space to do so.
Wrong question.

Wages that are enough for the teacher to live to teach and not struggle, coupled with the autonomy necessary to reach and improve their students makes netter teachers.

They are professionals. Treating them as such will improve things a lot.
Is open source really required? We at Haystack Software make a backup app (Arq) with client-side encryption that doesn't require any server side code (it supports a number of cloud providers' APIs).

Your data don't come to us at all -- they're sent to your cloud account.

Once someone who knew about astrological signs and charts and stuff told me people were actually supposed to change signs as they mature.

Then he "did my chart" on an interactive website and told me my second sign was the same as the first one.
It's amusing to me that people in the tech community think they will get to work that long.

Look around your office. Do you see anyone over 40? No? Are you saving enough to retire at 40? Then what do you think is going to happen?

EDIT: I will point out that this comment has fluctuated quite a bit between +2 and -2. So, clearly some very different experiences, which is good to hear. Perhaps not as dire as it looks.
Finding an Alternative to Mac OS X
I could never possibly come up with using a dongle that way, but you are right it can indeed fit when used like that at the device.
Author here, quite flattered to see the attention on HN! I would be quite open to feedback, additional mental de-blockers others have picked up, and/or requests for clarifications that I could expound upon. :-)
No I don't, to me the emails and the resignations are both evidence and an admission of guilt, to you it might not be.

I hope that Hillary and the DNC are able to get their day in court so the evidence can be heard by a jury of their peers rather than the court of public opinion.
I think I understand your argument from the legal perspective but what about from a public records perspective? It still feels like the precedents that have been established inside the US legal system should be publicly available without restrictions. Sure, other restricted sources may end up incorporated but restricting acccess to actual US legal decisions feels like it only benefits those few with the access for commercial gain.

Any historically accepted source should still be available for establishing precident but that doesn't mean our legal system should conceal the decisions it has made.

If nothing else access to these decisions could be a great area of study for language processing.
You do not need to work 70 hours a week. You would be more productive if you worked 40 hours a week. Beyond a certain point, more time spent is a net negative, because it hurts your ability to think clearly. Plus, even if it did make you more productive, the cost still wouldn't be worth it.

Thus, whatever is motivating you to work longer hours is mistaken. If it is your own belief, fix it. If it is the belief of the company you work at, either try to work with them to get more reasonable hours or try to find a new job.
Well, ideally yes you'd just enforce an affirmative choice here, but I think the whole point of having an organ donor registry is for time-critical situations like when you can't find someone to ask or when there is not clear person to ask.
And now we seem to have come full circle and the stylus is in vogue again.
Numerologist.com Review: 100% Money Back Guarantee
I doubt that would ever happen -- people take property rights very seriously here, and 401k money is very clearly the fruit of the owner's labor.

The easier way to move money from savers to debtors is to cause inflation, but good luck getting that to happen in today's environment.
Read GuiA's comment again. Being social in slightly uncomfortable situations led to meaningful relationships that would not have occurred otherwise.

The point is sometimes a little discomfort can lead to benefits greatly outweighing the discomfort.
It could merely influence how that segment of the population raises their children thus having a negative effect.

It is actually more logical that the psychological scars linger and go untreated as the damage is not recognized.
Yes I do.
California public safety employees (police, fire, etc) get all four prongs of that deal, I think. Technically it's 90% of peak salary but "spiking" is culturally accepted, so in practice you can have more than 100% of your final year salary in pension benefits.
That's unfair to the original commenter,
JumpCrisscross, who was specifically talking about "accredited investor" status - where the government allows people with >$1M to make investments they forbid others to.

Yes, that law is trying to protect people with <$1M; but it does consequently deny them a class of opportunity - even if both company and would-be investor want it.

Pointing that out does not mean JumpCrisscross thinks people should have a right to invest in a company which doesn't want their money.
Look at the code, nothing else matters
Ask HN: Is Java EE worth learning in 2017?
Seeing as Twitter is inaccessible in China, has generally been inaccessible for the last 5+ years, and that a widely used local substitute existed (Sina Weibo) -- it surprises me very much that Twitter even had a "China head" to begin with. The idea just seems like a non-starter.
I think it would be a good idea for you to start using it and send pull requests for any issues you find.

Dunno why that's surprising to the author. Those tech companies will pay for a good data scientist about 2x what a hedge fund would pay the same person initially. Hedge funds and finance company pay will increase more over time though, once they have a good track record.

It's not indefinite. Traditional IRAs have mandatory withdrawals, and lifespans are finite, so there's a clear bound on how long the taxes could be deferred.

Calling a group of millions of people mostly nihilistic says more about the accuser than the accused. It's the kind of thing "Berkeley types" would do to set an emotionally compelling narrative. Still makes for interesting reading.
I'm not doing anything with definitions. You have introduced an arbitrary distinction which is based on no measurable characteristic.
I'll post to this thread because this is very relevant for the hiring companies.

Hunter and Schmidt did a meta-study of 85 years of research on hiring criteria. [1] There are three attributes you need to select for to identify performing employees in intellectual fields.

- General mental ability (Are they generally smart)
Use WAIS or if there are artifacts of GMA(Complex work they've done themselves) available use them as proxies.
Using IQ is effectively illegal[2] in the US, so you'll have to find a test that acts as a good proxy.

- Work sample test. NOT HAZING! As close as possible to the actual work they'd be doing. Try to make it apples-to-apples comparison across candidates. Also, try and make accomidations for candidates not knowing your company shibboleth.

- Integrity. The first two won't matter if you hire dishonest people or politicians.
There are existing tests available for this, you can purchase for < $50 per use.

This alone will get you > 65% hit rate [1], and can be done inside of three hours. There's no need for day long (or multi-day) gladiator style gauntlets. Apply this process to EVERYONE, including that elite cool kid from the "right" school/company. You don't want to exclude part of your sample population!

[1] http://mavweb.mnsu.edu/howard/Schmidt%20and%20Hunter%201998%...

[2] Technically IQ tests are not "illegal", but the bar courts have decided companies have to climb is so high it effectively means they are. There is existing case law directly covering IQ tests in hiring. You should speak with your lawyer before you decide to try IQ tests.

SEEKING WORK Canada, Remote

I'm a data scientist with more than 10 years experience in machine learning and analytics. I focus on thorny problems for business, the sort that IF they can be solved will move the needle in real ways. Someone else may have tackled the problem and failed, or it just looks too complex to even start.

If you want to get in touch my email is in my profile.

Some of the types of thingsI've done in the past:

- Scored accounts for collections agencies. Improving collections by over 30%.

- Built preventative fleet maintenance models, decreasing maintenance costs by 23%.

- Built an application to optimally place physical sensors for a military security application.

Currently freelancing to bootstrapping a business.

Technical skills include: Deep learning, Machine learning, Operations research, Python, Haskell, Mathematica, SQL, Tensorflow, Spark, GPGPU, GIS, Big data, AWS, Devops, Agile/CI/CD, Git/HG, Postgres, Linux and others.
This Reuters paragraph doesn't delve into the details, but apparently Ms. Chen was a bit controversial as China Twitter chief, according to the Wall Street Journal[1]. She had ties to China's military and some of her initial tweets came across as a bit nationalistic[2].

On a lighter note... for a 50-year-old, she is hot. We should all age so well... :)

We're discussing the tradeoffs involved in making launches cheaper but more risky. My point here is that insurance is irrelevant to that tradeoff. One way or another, the payload owners are ultimately paying for that risk.
> California public safety employees (police, fire, etc) get all four prongs of that deal, I think. Technically it's 90% of peak salary but "spiking" is culturally accepted, so in practice you can have more than 100% of your final year salary in pension benefits.

Government postings are even better.

The UN requires only five years of service before you're eligible for pension benefits, and you can still collect those on top of whatever pension your home country government gives you (which is common), or even while being employed in a different government posting.

It's not 100% of salary if you only stay 5 years, but it's pretty large - you can easily reach eligibility for a pension that's large enough to live on before you're 30, and then
"double up" by taking other government postings whose pension eligibility is handled separately.
Key pinning could do a little towards preventing MITM, but implementing it is dangerous - in fact the whole standard is dangerous. Smashing Magazine went live with it, then had a cert expire before their max-age header did - rendering their site unavailable to repeat visitors. Then there are attacks like pkpransom to deal with, or the fact that Chrome doesn't implement hpkp properly.

Only ~400 sites actually implement pinning. It's going to be more of a security problem than a security solution in the next couple of years.
Many raised similar sounding complaints about Tesla in their early days. "Stupid programmers and electrical engineers don't know jack about building a car..." Yeah, they skipped a lot of the "important" parts, but they recognized before anyone else that there was value much deeper worth ignoring those common-sense features.

Time tells if its a worthwhile gamble.
Okay. Thanks. You might want to think about this going forward, given all the things Twitter has to deal with.

It simply moves the investment work and risks to the individual. It's a minefield for the individual and vastly more complex to manage (individuals are effectively forced into being investment managers... like that's an easy job?).
