I was on the job market recently and similar things happened to me. It's worse when you don't get feedback after you go to an interview.

Two days ago I thought of making a job site that requires the employer to provide feedback, and the candidate to sign a form that says they won't sue the employer over the interview process. This way the employer has no excuse for not giving feedback.

Would you use this?

Because you can still run the USB 1.0, 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 protocols over it

This is... very wrong, at least if you're talking about CEO pay. Who decides CEO pay? The Board. Who is the Board? Well, it's usually guys who are CEOs at other companies. Boards have every incentive to make this pay as high as they can get away with, so they will get the same quid pro quo, and "society" has nothing to do with it.
> This is another common and overlapping problem, companies that can't explain what they're selling.

There is logic behind hiring some people to build the product, and different people to explain the product.
Automatically producing an adequate coffee shot is easy, but actually making great coffee by machine isn't solved - mainly due to the subjective nature of selecting the grind settings to optimise for taste. Really good coffee shops (I'm sure you have at least a handful in the US, but they're everywhere in Australia. I'm talking like the little specialty places, not the chains which generally serve fairly crappy coffee) will spend a decent amount of time dialing in the grind in the morning, and then adjusting through the day to account for humidity, ambient temperature, the age of the beans, etc.

Although I'm sure it varies hugely from market to market. On my travels, I've been very surprised at what is considered good coffee overseas, even across Europe!
well to be honest I never bothered googling that exact term but I was more interested in the details around his deployment of smaller and successful neural networks as part of a portfolio.
Well, USB-C is specifically specced to accommodate displays over USB.

A similar argument might be said about "displays over display-port" or "displays over VGA".

If you "wouldn't wish this on anyone", would you mind sharing why? If suppliers aren't complying with the spec, or the spec is inadequate, I would like to understand why.

Fiat currencies can also suffer from hyperinflation so the second and third problems are not unique to BTC at all.
Generally Kafka takes advantage of the OS page cache and the fact that its data is sequential. The reason you can back Kafka effectively with spinning disks is because Kafka is just an immutable log.

OTOH you won't always have sequential access so services that store data in memory cover some of those other cases (eg a KV store like Redis).

The arbitrage is on the labor. Find someone who can build x for y and then sell it for z. The arbitrage opportunity comes from creating or obtaining a market you control. That market can be everything from a platform(Apple) to a collection of sales channels(Oracle) to a monopoly IP position(Microsoft). You do not need find people because they come to you because you control the market.

> In that case, why not trade any random commodity?

Its much easier to gain control of markets that are new as opposed to established ones.

San Francisco doesn't allow new construction.

Toronto, on the other hand, is filled with glass 40+ story condos constructed in the last 10 years and there are many more being constructed all the time. We can keep building and exporting new condo units to rich foreigners indefinitely, no different than Boeing constructing and exporting new 787s.

That's from 2002 and they have similar paragraphs in all their updated privacy statements. But that's a moot point I guess, because your complaint wasn't that your data was shared.

Sure, what I'm saying is more that localStorage doesn't have the standards equivalent of an SLA guaranteeing it'll work for the "within the lifecycle of one page" use-case. Apple, I think, are just being opinionated (and pushy) here: they think the right way to tell a web-app "your localStorage won't save" is to undefine the API, making trying to write to or read from localStorage raise an exception, so that your app is then forced to decide whether it can go on without localStorage (by handling the exception, or by using a polyfill which does the same) or that it can't (by just telling the user "don't use this page in Private Browsing mode, doofus!" and stalling out.)

It's certainly not the approach everyone would be happy with, but it allows developers much more flexibility than the contrary case, where private browsing is a silent effect that might make apps do very stupid things (like, say, downloading the same huge asset bundle into localStorage over and over.)
This comment precisely exemplifies what it's parent describes. One-sided self-righteous talking-point drivel. None of your points in the second sentence are based in reality. NONE. No one was banned by religion, green card holders and those with valid visas were let in. Trump came out last night and explicitly said he wants to protect lgbt -- he is the most pro-gay President let alone Republican in history yet the false narrative from the leftist media is contrarian.

I completely agree with the parent comment. Every single time I've seen a dissenting opinion on this site it is flagged (greys out the comment) into oblivion and downvoted to the bottom.

You're throwing out labels and name calling while reciting the same made-up garbage that led your party to lose, and will lead it to lose in 4 more year as well.

The left is NOT liberal, remember that. Classical Liberalism is dead, replaced by a faux-culture war fighting, race-baiting, self-righteous, entitled, and massively misguided maintstream media-driven movement that has completely gone off the rails.
I've read somewhere that beer was used instead of water in areas where water wasn't safe. IIRC, beer has non-alcoholic calories also. I don't believe one can live on spirits, but it could make you forget you are hungry :)

I wonder how much if "services" is due to the iCloud revenues because iPhone keep getting bigger, and the free hosting is not getting bigger..... Bugging people constantly to increase storage.
As long as you invoke your lambda again within a few minutes it will re-use your static assets.

yes that's a service readily available in pretty much any developing country in the world.

The not so fun part of it is that if the minivan you are in has nine seats and there are already, say, twenty passengers on it, plus a couple of chickens, the driver will still stop by and collect additional passengers! :)
I think this is good advice. It's better to see first-hand pain points that businesses experience as opposed to looking for an "idea" i.e. dreaming of a solution and then trying to find a matching problem that it solves.

If you start up with an "Uber for X"-tier idea, you may spend half your time educating people that they could use your solution.

On the other hand, it is difficult to watch a non-techie business worker perform their daily tasks for a few hours without seeing something that could be improved. A macro here, some workflow automation there, etc. Find a theme and you may be able to build something that solves a lot of problems.
Take any of your 15" options and try to satisfy the following requirements:

* Quad core CPU

* >= 16 GB RAM

* >= 1 TB SSD

* Retina display with resolution at least as good as the MacBook 15"

* Battery life at least as good as the MacBook 15"

* Weight at least as good as the MacBook 15"

With those requirements---if you can meet them at all, which most can't---the price gap shrinks substantially.

The Razer Blade, for example, is $2700 for the QHD+/1TB option, and it's not obvious if it can meet the last two requirements.

The Alienware in a similar configuration is $2600 depending on the graphics card but the best screen option is 1080p and again, not obvious if battery is good and the weight is just a joke. No amount of money is going to get me to carry a > 7 pound laptop.

And that's without going into more subtle issues like build quality, track pad quality, etc.

non-Touchbar

I've configured some of the new MBPs with touchbar and I really dislike the bar. No ESC for me is a complete no-go. Otherwise I haven't used the huge trackpad enough to know if I like it or not. And the keyboard, well, I found it just ordinary. For me, especially in a work environment where lots of people move around, MagSafe is essential.

I can understand a company buying the new MBPs simply to replace old ones, but personally I will wait a year. My 2009 MBP still does the job.
Sweet. Now time to play. I followed that bug until i got tired of it. Took a couple of months! Good on them for fixing it. Thanks!

I also wonder how it compares in cost to pumped storage hydroelectric.

You can use excess power to pump water uphill and then release it to generate hydro power when needed. Requires the right geography but it can essentially store huge amounts of power and it's apparently pretty cost effective.

California already has at least a couple that I can see:

- Helms Pumped Storage Plant[1] - 1.2GW capacity

- Castaic Power Plant[2] - 1.5GW capacity

That's like 60+ tesla plants each.

All the calories from the grains or fruits used to make alcoholic drinks don't just evaporate into the ether! "Lite" beers with low calorie contents are a fairly new invention.

If you look back far enough, some early brewing, like that of ancient Egypt, made beer so thick that mugs would often come with straws built into them so people could get past the thick layer of almost-solid grains that would float to the top.
It's a significantly harder game. Computing a Nash equilibrium in a 2-player game is relatively straightforward in technique (albeit very computationally expensive in the case of poker). There's several factors that make even 3-player games much more complicated than 2-players.

An additional player requires some sort of modeling of the interaction between players, which may not be feasible. For example, Player A may have multiple co-optimal strategies with respect to his own EV, but that affects the EVs for players B and C differently. Player A can choose arbitrarily between these strategies at any frequency, but players B and C can't predict this choice at all.

On top of that, Nash equilibrium requires that each player acts independently in their best interest. Teams can be modeled as a single player if necessary, but shifting alliances over the course of a series of hands can't be easily.

And on the pure computational complexity side, the state space explodes when you can have more than one opponent in a hand simultaneously. Combinations of players in a hand scales as n!, not n.
It offers the huge benefit that with the right accessory you can connect all those things, including power, at once with just one cable.

Almost everything you list are things that would be stationary on your desk, so either you are buying the wrong machine if you don't plan on removing it from the desk, or you'll benefit from having all connected to a dock that can connect via 1 cable to your machine.
I know with high confidence that these AI run hedge fund outfits reverts to a zero sum mean. Doesn't mean that there won't be one or two that beats the market for sometime as a whataboutism. The timing is a major issue, it's tough to at what year these AI hedge funds fail.

The other capital that blew up from the comments suggest it was more of a human error that led to deployment failures which is exactly why AI hedge funds is such a paradox. At the end of the day, it's humans that's deploying and building the model to be approximately right with high degree of accuracy but in the day trading environment it is a poor model for success-not only do you have to be right your monetary exposure must be right...."but proper money management and you will be fine" said everyone who took part in this zero sum game.

I don't know, prove me wrong, I'm sure those ivy league engineers on wall street aren't getting paid dimes for what they do.

I didn't like it either. I work hard on shit that bombs out all the time -- it's just part of the game. You accept it for what it is and keep trying. In general, you put shit on the Internet, you take heat. It's just so cheap for others to give, so it's your responsibility to block out the noise--not everyone else's to not dish it.
In regards to 2): Both parties are using identity politics, but I feel like it's distinctly the progressive left that is using it to be divisive. They call out problems that are barely there and normal white/straight america is just kind of tired of being told they're a sexist/racist/whatever, when they're really not. "You're either with our most radical programs and subsidies for our favored identities, or you're against us!"

Effectively, Trump hijacked the Republican Party. That does not sound like a strong mechanism to me.

Stallman has been pretty clear on the political nature from early on. What gives you the impression that free software hasn't been political? Perhaps there's a difference in definition of free software.

With GNU, and the Free Software Movement, the Free is definitely free as in freedom, which is a political concept.

From the Free Software Movement:

https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html

The four essential freedoms

A program is free software if the program's users have the four essential freedoms:

The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any purpose (freedom 0).

The freedom to study how the program works, and change it so it does your computing as you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).

The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

A program is free software if it gives users adequately all of these freedoms. Otherwise, it is nonfree. While we can distinguish various nonfree distribution schemes in terms of how far they fall short of being free, we consider them all equally unethical.

From the GNU Wikipedia page:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU

Richard Stallman, the founder of the project, views GNU as a "technical means to a social end". Relatedly Lawrence Lessig states in his introduction to the 2nd edition of Stallman's book Free Software, Free Society that in it Stallman has written about "the social aspects of software and how Free Software can create community and social justice."

That sounds pretty political to me.
I find it highly amusing that the fastest (hobby) radio controlled planes in the world are not flashy jet turbines, but unpowered gliders... (Very specialised gliders, on just the right shaped hill, with exactly the right wind speed and direction, with extremely talented pilots - but still, that's about Mach 0.65!!!)
As an avid fan of Uber, I'm waiting for Kalanick's update this weekend. I'm hoping for at least a matching $1m donation to ACLU before using Uber again.
I don't know. Perhaps it's not a relevant limitation, or perhaps it's not a limitation relevant to the notion or my experience of freedom. Or perhaps it's a limitation that channels choice and thus enhances or even defines freedom.

What I do know is that I'm tired and stressed this afternoon and can't even _think_ about that question... ;)
My bad I've been reading a lot of negative comments on /r/vancouver and my trigger level was too sensitive.

That should have resulted in a big infusion of growth.

You are right, refreshing a popular line should (generally) inevitably result in an infusion of growth.

What it's done is demonstrate the popularity of the product line.
False. From [2]: "The native Safari made the new Retina machine look good: 13 hours and 18 minutes. Google’s Chrome, on the other hand, forced the laptop to tap out at 9 hours and 45 minutes."
I haven't tried Xinerama in ages (is it still called that?), but even simple dual-monitor single-GPU setups have problems in KDE on Kubuntu 16.10 (plasma swaps monitordls, stacks widgets on one monitor, ignores a monitor, all randomly; I added a startup script to kill and relaunch plasma after a delay). This constant regression in features is what I dislike most about Linux lately. Eternal September in software form.

granted, while it's great in concept to work on ML everywhere, given that it is such a data and GPU-hungry process, the tradeoffs for an ML capable machine would make a shitty laptop. All the nVidia engineers that I see use a large "portable desktop" that has to accommodate the increased cooling and power contraints for a discrete GPU.

And, after having a number of laptops (and an iMac) die from heat death due to the ball grid array solders of the GPU wearing out, I'm done with discrete GPU's in anything other than a desktop box.

Better in this day and age to prototype on the macbook, then offload the heavy lifting to a dedicated ML box or, at the rate things are going, to Amazon...
I think that started as a way to prevent rickets in children. For adults the amount of vitamin D you get from enriched milk is not concentrated enough to supplement for inadequate sunlight (even if you drank a glass a day which most adults don't).

I've had things like this happen more than once:
1. HR/recruiter-ish Phone screening
2. Engineer-ish phone screening, sometimes with a coding session
3. Another phonecall as a prep for further rounds of interviews
4. Travel that requires me to take at least one day off of work and travel to another city for an in-person interview
5. Rejection with no reason, and "We have a policy of not providing that information to candidates" if you ask why
6. Questionnaire from the company, asking for feedback on their interview process (snerk)

In your case, with one guess, I'd say that the test cases that were provided were just examples of things you'd have to do to pass. It's like the homework assignment where the professor gives you a problem to solve and some test inputs. You know that they'll run some "acid test" on your code after you've submitted it. Maybe it caught some corner cases that they considered essential.

That, or they didn't like something about your coding style (style is subjective, and you'll never have feedback on how they judged it). Or, or, or...you can come up with speculative lists all day.
Yes, my fault for being emotional and on the edge. I guess my jimmies have been rustled for lack of a better word in the context of populism and my lone campaign of troll eradication on reddit have made me far too sensitive. I'm going to take some time off from reddit and focus on HN.

"The law establishes certain standards in order to protect similarly employed U.S. workers from being adversely affected by the employment of the nonimmigrant workers, as well as to protect the H-1B nonimmigrant workers. Employers must attest to the Department of Labor that they will pay wages to the H-1B nonimmigrant workers that are at least equal to the actual wage paid by the employer to other workers with similar experience and qualifications for the job in question, or the prevailing wage for the occupation in the area of intended employment – whichever is greater."

I think I misunderstood your initial comment. I took "we" to mean the employer; looks like you meant it as the DOL.
