There's nothing anti-developer in what I wrote. (Or the original reply.)

If I received such an email in response to my own question I would be reassured.

I'm not towing/toeing the company line here. There's simply nothing wrong here.

--

EDIT: in reply to your followup, no, I googled and it's some Trump spokesperson? (communications director). Basically I took it (in this comment I added this edit to) that you were saying I'm being counterfactual and spinning things, but I wouldn't have an issue receiving that email, as a developer, to a place I applied to. It would reassure me. I don't think it's spin - I think the original developer we're reading about is off-base.

You summarise my experience of the financial industry well. If you haven't already, read "Where Are The Customer's Yachts" by Fred Schwed - very entertaining and funny, in a kind of sad way: https://www.amazon.com/Where-Are-Customers-Yachts-Street/dp/...
The problem is that we ever believed the nonsense that there's some information source that is NOT a product, complete with biases and agendas.

The day the printing press was invented was the day print journalism was subverted to push agendas.
Classification is still very needed. I'm interested to see what comes out of this. Especially with regard to eliminating biases of a classification system.

Capitalism isn't going anywhere obviously and shouldn't. On the other end is state-run media, e.g. North Korea. We wouldn't want things to swing in that direction or even toward RT or many other examples.

I think we should be looking to replicate whatever magic is and has been in PBS, early BBC, ITN, and other earlier UK and French programming.

I can easily configure NoScript to only use HTTPS on, say, ¤.cn .
Sites that downgrade-redirects to http:// gets stuck in a loop. Annoying for everyone, so it raises awareness.

The prefs.js syntax is,
noscript.httpsForced "¤.cn\n¤.ru\n*.uk"

Edits: ¤ characters are asterisks.
A decentralized search engine with configurable or even just inspectable filter bubble would be a good start?

(Although I think the correct abstraction is not "search engine", but "decentralized content index" + "decentralized content ranking" with tweakable parameters.)
Yeah I think you're right. just playing an equilibrium is suboptimal in the sense that it doesn't extract maximal value from the opponent. You want to be playing a best response to the opponent's strategy.

That's what you see online poker players do. They model their opponents (in the sense of labeling them as fun player, too tight, too loose, etc), then try to predict their hands based on their moves. Otherwise I guess they would be losing money: poker is zero sum by its nature, and the casino's cut on top of that makes it negative sum!
Maybe they are bluffing, maybe they are not.

If you are willing to lose your job, I applaud anyone who does this fight. But lots of people are not able to do the same fight.

What does work is demanding to see the employment contract before joining the company. They can present you with a different contract on day one, but contract law requires a meeting of minds, and if they snuck a new clause in without calling it out, there wasn't a meeting of minds.
Causality must be defined as a fully-observable model and then proved by a replicable experiment, it cannot be established by any number of mere observations. Statistics or probability are unrelated to causality in principle.
MIT alum here. The orange clownstick better think twice if he thinks he can use our school as a bargaining chip.

Not yours, Trump.
> The implication made here is that the writer believes that gigster is going to "do something awful".

In what other context does it make sense to talk about the right to sue someone other than "doing something awful"? These are not the rules for the office's Secret Santa, this is a legal contract which details what would happen precisely if either party "does something awful"

People don't sue each other because they think they are doing wonderful things, they sue them when they think they've done "something awful".
That should be a major consideration before purchasing it, then. We have dependencies on VAX systems, so I'm fairly well aware of this risk. We work deliberately, now, to future-proof our systems. Depending on a very closed platform like iOS and a specific iPad version is the antithesis of future-proofing and any risk analysis should reveal the pitfalls. If someone still chose to use it, they have little ground to complain about being unable to replace that hardware/software easily in 3-5 years, let alone 20.

Funny you say that. Here's what I created for my personal use:

http://files.carussell.fastmail.fm/public/ascii-print-screen...

I think the horizontal layout is a lot more readable, especially with the ability to read the bitstring more-or-less left-to-right. Only thing is that it's pretty wide—maybe too wide. The document that screenshot is from is meant to take up an A3 sheet split in half lengthwise. Someone willing to spend more time on it than I was would probably be able come up with helpful notes for the bottom half, or shift things around so elements corresponding to the low bit in the upper nibble are nestled below the items where that bit is off.
Did you mean "sheep" or "cheap"?
When you say you "switched" I hope that means you took the time to go through one of those touch typing tutor programs, like GNU Typist. If you do the exercises and practice, the mental drain should go away.

My experience switching to Dvorak was back in 2006. At that time I was a full time student and a part time programmer. Switching to a new layout took about a week in the evenings practicing about 30min - 1hour. I flew through the tutoring program, ymmv.

The first three months of using it in the wild were hard. I had a few big obstacles. I frequently needed campus computers, for projects and helping the GF I frequently shared computers, and muscle memory for shortcuts, vi, etc.

All of those problems have multiple solutions, and I found ways to deal with them, or ignored them until they went away. :-)
If you don't have people asking you for source, most likely there is no demand, end of story. Why would anyone work repurposing untested code instead of creating what they need? Sure, people reinvent the wheel, but they know its the wheel that suits them.
Hey guys! I'm cofounder of Scale API (www.scaleapi.com), a YC S16 company building an API for human intelligence. We've been working to obviate the need to tune your system to work on products like MTurk, and instead have a really simple API that just works. We've worked to build technology to guarantee quality to our customers and build a simple developer experience.

I really respect your ability to work with MTurk and have it work for you guys. In our experience, it often takes significant effort to get anything remotely functional and reliable on MTurk. That's why we're building Scale :)
I read AP here: http://hosted.ap.org/
This is why everyone should demand to see the IP agreement during negotiation.

Clearly the best approach is to directly answer the question at hand with the most relevant numbers/statistics available. I'm all for that. I'd argue you'd still want to use the mean more than the median, but it's not really important at that point because you're painting the most complete picture you can.

There are times that, for whatever reason, someone is only presenting one statistic. News headlines are a big one. In this case, you clearly want to pick the "best" statistic available. There are people who think that the median is categorically better than the mean and dispense advice as such. (You can find them saying things like "the mean is worthless, the median would be much better" in the comments of discussion boards.) That's not what this article did, but the author did imply (in its title and language, if nothing else) that the median is better than the mean without offering any sort of weighing mechanism for which to choose. That's what I'm responding to, because it perpetuates the median > mean myth that's prevalent among certain groups of people.
Can I send you my resume as well? I've worked for small companies or startups most of my life in a not so strong region for developers, so I really have no idea what I actually should be asking for my salary, and I know I'm probably underselling myself.
As an example, the fake news about the guy that found the warehouse full of fake ballot boxes for Clinton:

A Google Image Search of the picture in the fake article would have found the picture is much older, and isn't what the caption described.

If I'm tech-savvy and skeptical, I might have done that when consuming the article, and decided on my own it was fake. Machines can do that automatically for people that aren't tech-savvy, or that don't start reading it with a skeptical mindset.
My understanding is that ending up as a Freelancer is really the worst possible outcome for a Japanese salaryman.

It's not surprising they earn more because salaryman salaries are very low but they have no social status, job security, benefits, or pension that their old job gave them.
I listed several examples in my comment. CNN for sure did not cover these issues proportionately to their gravity. These were serious issues that were skirted by them.

Had they been responsibly covered, public sentiment would be more favorable towards Trump... since he's really been rapping on this MSM corruption for a while. If anything, Trump is at least an iconoclast and whether you like his policies it would at least command respect.
Which tooling specifically? Going from Java to Python a couple years ago I was in shock about how immature the tooling in the Python world is by comparison.
> I wrote a simple tool that allows you to filter out what you don't need

It'd be a short hop from here to a tool that basically does for JDK-platform apps what Erlang's releases do for the ERTS platform: builds a new JRE (as a portable executable, not an installer) that actually contains the app and its deps in the JRE's stdlib, such that you just end up with a dir containing "a JRE", plus a runtime "boot config" file that tells the JRE what class it should run when you run the JRE executable.

With such a setup, your Java program could actually ship as an executable binary, rather than a jar and an instruction to install Java. Nobody would have to know Java's involved! :)
A hypothetical example would be a routine that calls another routine and passes information to the child process. Can one programmatically encrypt that information to make sure it retains PHI security? This is asked understanding that at the server level the information should technically be secured (as you noted, including transmitted data), but with the desire to work in "paranoid mode" and ensure extra layers of patient confidentiality at the code level. Just in the tutorials for MUMPS and M I've reviewed so far I've not seen any clear examples I could test out.

In reviewing $TRANSLATE()closer, it's not exactly what I'm looking for, either, although this and $ZTRANSLATE() may be as close as I can get for my example from what I've read thus far. Appreciate the reply!
It gets regular updates. There is a version that you can just buy once, but it only gets updates for (I think) a year and then you have to buy a new one whenever you want an update.
How can we know who is trustworthy, who has a past record of doing things well and honouring his word and who doesn't.
That's completely false in the context of a Lisp.

I boot the JVM once and iterate endlessly in the same process. Same for ClojureScript in the browser or node.js. Lisp is by far the most interactive language there is with the fastest iteration times (AFAIK).

1.5 seconds would be huge if you had to constantly restart your application like you do everywhere outside Lisp. Iterating in Clojure is literally instant.

I wrote applications in dozens of languages, and none come remotely close to Clojure's iteration speed or joy of use.
The former stopped working in iOS 9.
Meh. I have no relation to the university in question, I don't know any names of those involved; the story was told to me by a casual acquaintance some years back, who had heard it from someone else etc. so it's hardly substantive details. If the CIA want to investigate every Iranian who used to be in some undisclosed European university half a decade ago (probably tens of thousands of people, with no central records to tap; said person might just be visiting for some months and not registered anywhere), on the basis of internet hearsay, they can be my guest.
This is all I see when I watch your animations:

1. Two complex spreadsheets, they look similar (therefore, assume they're the same)
2. Click some cells
3. Wait...
4. TADA, A number appears!?!??

What is this number? How is this different from regular spreadsheets, is it just a super slow formula eval? Why are there two identical sheets (it's moving way too fast to notice that they're different)? Why did you select the cell first? Before any of these questions could be answered by actually reading the spreadsheet the animation jumps straight to the next one, which is essentially the exact same as the last with a different title at the top.

Also, why are you demoing starting from selecting the output cells, like 5 times? That's the most boring and repetitive part of your whole product.

Your demo should be MUCH simpler. Start with a single blank spreadsheet and solve the millionaire problem (you mentioned it elsewhere) in 15 seconds, including typing the formula and sending the sheet to the second person. This problem is simple to conceptualize and easy to motivate.
Moat | Software Engineer | New York City | FULLTIME, ONSITE

Moat is an adtech startup with products in two core areas:

1) Analytics

Moat Analytics measures content and advertisements for many of the most trafficked websites on the Internet. Most new ad deals require third party measurement and for many of the top brands and websites, Moat's metrics are the go-to. We were one of the first companies to begin measuring ad viewability and we helped make these metrics a standard in the online ad industry. We handle over 19 billion impressions a day and tackle large scalability problems every day.

2) Search
Moat Search tells you who's advertising where online. We give advertisers, publishers and other adtech companies an overview of the entire online ad ecosystem (kind of like the Bloomberg of the ad world). Our customers can see their competitors' ad campaigns, find prospects by seeing the clients of similar companies or see trends in the industry before anyone else. We have a free product, moat.com and a premium product, Moat Pro.

We recently raised $50M and we're still growing very quickly:

https://www.wsj.com/articles/moat-raises-50-million-to-help-...

Both technical and non-technical openings can be found at http://moat.com/jobs. Among other things, we're looking for frontend/backend/fullstack engineers, devops engineers, and security engineers.

The interview process involves a short coding assignment, 1-2 phone interviews and onsite.

Boosted Boards (YC S12) abandons 1/3 of V2 product line, after extensive delays
Boosted Boards (YC S12) announced today that pre-orders for their single motor board will never be fulfilled. See https://boostedboards.com/extended-range-pack-single-international-update/ for full info.
Software enthusiasts and power-users will still find a way, whether with unlocking, modding, or emulation. Communities will surely spring up that cater to those looking for old iOS / Android software and sandboxing tools will allow these to be safely run. Do not fret :)

As bad as I think Gigster's agreement is, this clause is a good place to start from. It means that they don't have someone shoving GPL code into a project that must remain closed source.
We run an algo trading system using 10-20 JVMs depending on exchange. It's not so bad.
Yep very fair, but it would have to be assumed the AI could differentiate, which is not necessarily trivial.

All of this would be much easier if there was some "standard" for writing news, sectioning off opinions that derive 'non-obvious' conclusions, linking primary sources, etc. But there isn't, and you would have to censor those who did not conform if there was one, which is not a good solution.

I tested out Mechanical Turk back in 2008. I think I was trying to get a YouTube video promoted on some site.

I still have some credits on the system.

I am not even sure if I could come up with a good use. For those with current usage experience, could I create in theory a task where people would look up the best sights to see in the top 10 travel destinations?

Would this be a valid use case, and how would you deal with duplicates?
Wow, that site is... interesting.

> No any corporation is not associated with this project. All product names and brands are property of their respective owners. All service names used in this website are for identification of services to open only. Why the richest and the most technologically advanced multinational corporation in the world shows 'Secret.ɢoogle.com You are invited! Enter only with this ticket URL. Copy it. Vote for Trump!' in tens of millions accounts since 5 November ask not me. I don't working in their support so it's not a my problem. This site domain is ilovevitaly.com. Despite the huge number of lies without any proofs in the media, this search shell is absolutely safe and very useful. Just one very rich and influential hidden evil corporation doesn't like competitors very much.

"Ask not me", sure...
Has the account of artsandsci changed owners?

I see he/she's been a member for 900+ days, submitting a story every once in a while. Then starting 27 days ago he/she began submitting over 12 stories a day on average.
P.S. It would be interesting what stance they would take to you being named as co-owners of any IP developed, and royalties paid for any further use beyond current project. My brother is a mechanical engineer and original designs in his lab always have him as a registered patent holder.
Another possible aspect of this, which complicates in some ways what you said in your comment, is that the earlier special pardon for Turing was, to my mind at least, a patronizing idea that cast him as an unworldly "innocent". Gordon Brown, the British PM at the time, made a statement in which he repeatedly referred to Turing as "Alan". It was obviously insincere and came across as inappropriate and condescending.

There's work to be done here, all right.
