I'm not Canadian, upon looking up the actual rules it is provincial laws. The most well know restriction is in Ontaria and is restricted to the title of "professional engineer". They still frown on it and actually fought Microsoft over their certification titles.

Top result when searching was Quora [1].

My personal view, is it doesn't matter much. I often choose to refer to myself as a Developer, just because of the confusing discussions Canadian Engineers have presented in the past.

Ifind software titles to be unnecessarily inflated, both in seniority and position. The title of Developer or Programmer would be fine in many cases, unless your looking for Architectural roles (can also have similar titular restricitions). Also, many roles could easily drop Senior, often it is just used for mid-level roles requiring some degree of experience over junior roles.

The whole of title structure in the industry is very ego-driven rather than role driven. I often break my titles down to specify my focus area, e.g. Lead API Developer, which includes everything from speccing to infrastructure and tooling (which some generally use as claims of engineering).

Ultimately, they seem to be much more pragmatic under Satyas leadership and that seems to be reflecting on them well.

There's probably some utility to it: a lot of problems involve hacking together datasets, sometimes in dubious ways. There's also value, especially for startups that are looking to build simple neural net applications (ex: identifying plates of food from different restaurants) which are very data-dependent. Researchers may also want to reflect the cost assembling datasets (ex: MTurk, processing power) and open up datasets that may never have been open before.

My general sense on this though is that I'd like there to be more of an incentive for people to open up their datasets to the larger public. Maybe I'm being idealistic but a crowdsourcing type function where you pay for X dataset together with other users and then it's released under MIT, forever free etc.

As others have mentioned that'll probably bump against usage rights issues, a larger problem you'll have to deal with independent of your need to sell or distribute the datasets in question.

How to build powerful back-ends easily with Serverless
+1 to this.

Those first few days after mandatory education was over were a really weird and surreal moment for me @ 18 years old.

Schooling is this period of your life where the routine of going to school, homework, school holidays etc are pretty much the only thing you know, but then suddenly it slams into the buffers and it becomes irrevocably over.

In the UK system you usually spend 7 years with the same cohort of kids up to 18. It felt to me like a lot of social "baggage" gradually accrued over time - you built up this persona/reputation/expectation that defined what sort of person you were, how you acted, what sort of friends you kept, what you liked to do etc. It seemed to me that you unconsciously lived-up to this view that others had about you - people thought you were a smart kid/popular kid/sporty kid/nerdy kid, and so you acted like one.

Once school was over though those expectations from the others about who you were and how you acted just evaporated and you were free. Kids would be well-served to be reminded about this! Everything changes after school.
You're overthinking it.

I'm glad someone is bringing this up. I see so many "X job getting automated, jobs are lost, oh no!" portrayed as some novel scenario where jobs are automated and no new jobs are ever made. Automation of routine jobs has been happening for thousands of years, and historically hasn't affected the unemployment rate AT ALL because new hard-tp-imagine jobs replace them.

The more I read dig it, the more I don't believe in technological unemployment (i.e. a technology automates a person out of a job, and that person remains forever unemployed). Instead, recently, something seems wrong with the re-hiring process in the global economy.

Very lucid discussion (found on HN no less) here: http://lesswrong.com/lw/hh4/the_robots_ai_and_unemployment_a...

I solve this by being very clear with candidates ahead of time (i.e. days before the interview) about generally what I'm going to ask, and I've never had a candidate tell me they couldn't recall at some some relevant details from a project. I am generally asking about experiences that were impactful and the lessons learned, not trying to test someone's recall ability.
You're going to try to say that Trump was subject to the people when he actually lost the peoples vote.

Trump is president because the US has an idiotic system that reduced the effectiveness of peoples votes for living in popular places.

Besides, we were talking about representatives, the people do not vote for the President, states do.

You can say a lot about Rails but I like the idea that everything I commonly need as a web developer is most likely already in the framework, and there is usually a best practice way to do things. Options are great, but moving out of plumbing and into generating value to customers is still having a value.

If you don't like opinionated, batteries included solutions then Rails is not for you.

However there are other solutions that kind-of cloned some aspects of Rails. Playframework (Scala has a lot more similarities to Ruby IMHO than to Java, at least in philosophy). Also Spring Boot or JHipster (Spring boot + Yeoman - super opinionated)

> As to why... it's anyone's guess.

I think its because recreating rails in javascript just doesn't make sense in the current ecosystem. Either you are rewriting stuff like express from scratch (and why are you doing that?), or you're building on top of those modules and adding configuration conventions and scripts, in which case, congratulations, you've just written Sails.

When Rails first got started, ruby didn't have anything close to the ecosystem that JS enjoys today, so DHH et al. had to write most of the individual components themselves, with the intention of making them all work together.

So in my view, its similar to how Humans and Gorillas evolved from a common ancestor, but you won't see Gorillas becoming Human anytime soon.
Ask yourself this: Is there a market for database developers that don't have a PH.D in Relational Algebra? "AI" will be democratized very quickly just like data (SQL, Excel, etc.) has and solving business problems with technology will be more important than ivory tower tinkering. That being said, if you're interested in Deep Learning... do yourself the favor of truly understanding what is happening with backpropogation and eventually learn to code networks by hand, from memory; simply to aid your own intuition.
What ZFS features do you want that APFS won't/can't provide? Is there some other reason you want ZFS instead?
I've done the opposite. For me it doesn't matter how fast the uploads are (within reason), it matters whether I can restore reasonably quickly if something craps out. CP does have a disadvantage though: their client is written in Java and if you have a lot of files it takes up a ton of RAM.
How is MS Office on Wine these days?
Yeah. As much as the typical 'cliche' seems to be a divide between the popular moron jock and the unpopular nerd, the truth is simply that's there's no correlation between popularity and intelligence one way or the other.

Some people may be unpopular but smart or popular but dumb, but there's just as many unpopular idiots and popular geniuses.
There will still be leaks, and they will most likely be protected under First Amendment rules:

"Should the Trump administration find out who talked to reporters and seek to retaliate against federal employees who leak unflattering material, there is good reason to believe that these employees are legally protected. An internal government decision such as the EPA’s freezing all grants and contracts is a matter of public concern and is not a matter of national security. That makes it difficult for the Trump administration to argue that it has a right to silence these employees."

Unrelated to your discussion with the parent, but I just wanted to point out that the fact that a system which was implemented in Elixir and runs on the Erlang virtual machine is able to sustain that traffic (and here I am referring to the link you posted) is and should be regarded as, largely, a quality of the Erlang virtual machine, and only to a very small extent to the programming language that it has been implemented in, if any at all. The fact that a system implemented in Elixir can sustain a large quantity of traffic while running on the Erlang virtual machine does not prove much about Elixir itself, other than the fact that it’s usable; you can implement the exact same system in Erlang also, or any other programming language for that matter. There is no inherent quality of Elixir itself that makes programs handle large amounts of traffic. That’s a quality of the Erlang virtual machine; Elixir is just syntax.

Ask HN: What are some great ways to monetize open source projects?
In my experience, asking a question that demands one to recall specific details about a painful event in an interview, which is typically a stressful situation, may produce poor results.

To some extent, yes. But the flip side is that for candidates that have had negative experiences in poorly managed environments (i.e. negative experience with past employers) this allows them to vent this information in a somewhat more clinical (neutral) way.
Well, that was a brief burst of fun! Wish the final payoff was a bit flashier, but c'est la vie. Good work, all!
Yeah I tried that too! It bucks the trend and just wants you to enter the name.
Seems to be a lot of people in this thread who know nothing about agriculture and aren't answering OP's questions. Therefore it's safe to assume a lot of people on HN have no idea what they're talking about and comment anyway. Readers be aware.

"Better reproduction" probably means very different things to different people.

Likely a lot would depend on good defaults and good training. If you were as skeptical about people and organizations as I am, you would assume it could on average worsen many movies. The original Murphy's Law and all that. :)
I know this is focusing on details, but there is no Ann Arbor, WI. The article copied over the typo from the study. Confusing.

I wish the study explained why they chose the 12 cities they did.

Also their populations do not match the census like they say they do, I am left to question any validity this study has.
Deduction at it's finest - thanks!
Could you explain what problem you're trying to solve here? Are there really that many researchers who have access to modern (and expensive) GPU hardware that don't have bandwidth or disk space available? Or are there many researchers who are putting in lots of time assembling a dataset but don't have the bandwidth to distribute it?

Ah, greetings rsync.net person, and thank you for the reply :) That makes sense. Your staff are a true credit to your company. And the only times I (or people I am working with) have had to talk to you is because we were trying to do something weird like getting a MegaFuck3000 NAS with Debian version -1.5 working with your systems, not because your infrastructure has ever failed. Much love for your company and all that make it as great as it is.

You'd choose differently than I would, apparently. Having tried both approaches to dealing with the situation (with other groups of people), I've decided that I prefer this one. You can take your condescension and shove it up your ass; it serves no useful purpose here.

That's why we're working on a ranking/feedback system (a la piratebay) so that users can see other user comments on the datasets.
Regarding decentralization - we are starting with centralized search, and download times are much better for popular datasets by downloading in parallel from many peers. We are also using a congestion control protocol (Ledbat) that is lower priority than TCP - you will not notice it using your b/w to share data if you are downloading/uploading using TCP.
I am surprised they left out Houston, which has the most urban sprawl of any US city. There's tons of construction going on in the city as well. But for the lack of zoning laws, Houston would be a larger city than NYC.

Not that I would suggest other cities copy Houston's (lack of) urban planning, but leaving out such a singular example seems strange. Especially since they included Austin.
Exactly. I was giving an example of what post scarcity looks like.

The "air market" is effectively post scarcity for most people (baring the exceptions that you mentioned).

Other markets will become similar to the "air market" when we get really good at producing those things as well.
Too bad we still have to use shims until iOS Safari catches up (hopefully this year).
I especially like how certain symbols we regularly use nowadays weren't always known that way. For example, the set of integers is now written as \mathbb{Z} , but used to be written as a fraktur "Z" with a bar above.
