It's great to see all the new approaches in this field. IMHO animated interactive visualization of the current flow is pretty to look at, but beyond a certain early point in one's understanding of voltage & current relationships, it's not necessarily more useful than not being there at all (and having non-interactive access only).

For a CS analogy: when you're trying to teach how and why to balance a binary search tree, it's useful to visually draw out the trees of the first few example steps. However, after you understand the concepts and the invariants, it would be rather unhelpful (or even distracting) to have an animated drawing of the tree as the algorithm progresses every time you were working with a BST!

Disclosure -- I wrote CircuitLab https://www.circuitlab.com/ -- another browser-based circuit simulator and schematic capture tool which doesn't do animated graphs, but instead includes:

* algebraically-defined behavioral sources (the ability to define voltage/current relations as an expression, like a spreadsheet or programming language)

* extended-precision numerical core (simulates circuits that make SPICE variants choke) http://www.edn.com/design/analog/4418707/1/Extended-precisio...

* frequency-domain analysis (Bode plots)

* parametric simulation sweeps over any parameter in any element

* export publication-quality vector PDF/EPS/SVG and raster PNGs of your schematics

* easily add custom elements with pins to represent any stuff you like (connectors, modules, etc)

* pure JS solution, or more specifically, CoffeeScript compiled to JS -- the creator of CoffeeScript said "an order of magnitude more [lines of code] than I've ever dealt with in a single project" https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=3644662 (and the LOC count has grown substantially since that comment!)

Can chat bots become smart? Is it hard?
There are many bot frameworks out there. Some supported by giants: API.AI (Google), Wit.AI (FB), IBM Watson....
There are many startups coming with their frameworks.

What all have in common is the need to train the bot to make it smart.
But how much training does it really need? Does it really need hundreds of sentences per a user intent (such as make a reservation) or does it need just 10-20 examples?
If the bots had those so many examples, would have 2016 made her promise of being the Bots year?

Another question, do we really need smart bots?
From the bots that are out there, it seems most of them are just putting out a website in a linear conversation-like manner. They don't seem too smart but they do the job and you don't need much data to train them....

So before I enter botland, do anyone have a good idea of how much effort is needed to actually train the bot? Are their good practices on where to find training data?

that's a pretty long list that touches on nearly every level of governance

This isn't even close to true. It doesn't cover:

- National security

- Healthcare policy and resourcing

- Welfare and pensions policy

- Education policy

...which, not coincidentally, are the highest budgeted functions of the UK government[1].

I should also include criminal justice and fiscal policy (seeing as the UK is non-Eurozone), and that the UK has competence over non-eu migration and asylum; this is politically important but not a large budget item on its own.

There are cooperation and collaboration elements of the above (particularly in the area of common defence), but that's not to say that the policies are EU competencies. For example, freedom-of-movement rules require that pensions must be paid by the country in which they were insured, even if the individual is paid that pension in a different country. However, one country might have a pensionable age of 60 where another is 67.

No I don't, but I do live in the UK. I think the whole country is eligible for one-day delivery here.

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/help/customer/display.html?nodeI...

I still think two-day delivery is pretty rubbish. The great thing about Amazon Prime is it's faster than finding time to go to the shops and pick it up. If I have to wait literally days for it to arrive it's not the case any more.
That was a fun little interlude - I wonder how effective strategies like this are? Is it to check for genuine technical ability, engage candidates or just a little barrier to ensure a candidate is really interested in the role?
That just parses environment variables, instead of files.

carwow | Full-stack Ruby on rails developers | London, UK | ONSITE, VISA | www.carwow.co.uk

carwow is the 1st business in Europe to take on the old style of buying & selling cars. The automotive industry traditionally has relied on face to face sales which is stressful and actually not that great for the consumer. We’re using technology and a fresh approach to change the way that the industry approaches the customer. In much the same way that Deliveroo has transformed the way that people order from restaurants, we’re looking to disrupt this marketplace. We’ve raised over £19m in funding, from Europe’s best VCs, and facilitated the purchase of more than £1 billion worth of cars.

We currently have 13 engineers and we are looking to grow the team. We have a strong focus on people writing clean code, and working using an agile methodology. We work in very short rapid fire sprints - 1 to 2 weeks depending on the work we are doing.
We use Ruby as our core language and look for Full Stack developers who can think for themselves and enjoy working as a team - standard stuff but important for us to stress this.

You can learn more about the role here: https://carwow.workable.com/jobs/207674

The interview process is: initial phone interview, tech test @ home, on-site 2-hour interview
We can also set up an initial coffee meeting/call if you'd prefer to talk with someone on our tech team before applying.

Please get in touch by contacting talent@carwow.co.uk

Considering the number of SV companies founded by immigrants, we would have to look to decades, not years, to see the effects of this policy.

If the policy is wrong, it will be far too late to fix it once the results are clear. Foreign founders would simply go back to their home countries (or more reasonable alternatives, like Canada or Germany), and work in startup clusters there.

In about 20 years, I predict the Silicon Valley will be regarded as a startup cluster in the way Harvard is for higher education: the most well-known and prestigious, but only one of many excellent and sufficient options for your needs.

Considering I am in contact with my distant relatives that my great-grandmother left behind in Italy, my answer to your question would be sad.

The general direction of the Trump plan regarding H-1b is the way to go. The lottery needs to be replaced with a demand system where the highest salaries get slots. A floor of $100,000/yr should exist and adjust for inflation. Next, generously expand the green card fast track, as this category of employee, as an immigrant, is a free agent to move among companies or to start their own business.

To date, as we all know, the H-1b system has primarily been used to arbitrage for lower wage by Indian companies and mostly non-tech big corporates, where they bring in $60k/yr "systems analysts" who are in fact doing $100,000+/yr software engineering roles.
And yet I've seen countless people on HN, both American and European, decrying what they feel are lax civil penalties because they haven't completely bankrupted the company against which they're levied.

Javascript does have it easier by virtue of being single threaded, with no overloading and with a single numeric type. In the python version of this loop:

for x in range(1000):
sum = sum + math.sin(x)

The global "math" and "math.sin" can be changed by another thread at any point. Javascript guarantees that this cannot happen.

Also, what constructs of Javascript are more dynamic than python? I can only think of "eval" and "with", both of which the JavaScript JIT decline to compile and interpret instead.

Trump is scared. He projects fear. He doesn't want to live amidst diversity. He only supports people who agree with him (e.g. Milo). He figures fights will cause us all to run to our safe spaces and believe that the world is black and white.

If you think US owns the cloud, you're not paying attention to China. China owns China's cloud. The US has little to no visibility into these fleets, but they're huge (multiple million-server farms) and they have tons of national customers.

Yes, but expected value isn't everything. A good investor considers the ratio of expected return to variance of return. In a normal game, the variance on an overbet is enormous and therefore the denominator of its Sharpe ratio [0] is large and drives the value (or should I say "score" so as not to get confused with "expected value"?) of that action down.

You'd happily go all-in pre-flop AA vs KK. On the other hand if you got 4-bet pre-flop by a 22 and you're holding AK, you might ask, "Check it down?" This is assuming the opponent really likes small pocket pairs and will call an all-in, etc.

It is a curious dichotomy that the IP story of the week awarded $500mil in damages to a Corp, and this labor story effecting "1.6mil" workers is looking to settle for $7.5mil($1.7mil flagged). Assuming the class identification to be true, you would think that a wrongly classified worker would have incurred at least $100 in negatives, even if you only totaled up potential unemployment it would be more for than this amount for that subgroup.

We are creating an online marketplace for short term work in Germany (https://www.instaff.jobs). Businesses can publish their jobs on our platform, jobbers apply with their profile and then these businesses can book the jobbers online. We take care of quality management and employment overhead (working contracting, payroll accounting, etc.).

We made close to 3 Mill. EUR revenue in 2016. We acquire 90 % of our customers via SEO and about 10 % via Google Adwords. We don't do any direct sales.

Our #1 growth strategy was creating well designed and highly targeted landingpages for all relevant keywords. For example if potential customers search for certain type of jobbers in certain German cities, these are some of our landingpages:

While they leave weaselly terms like this in visas to give the government discretion, the expectation was that if you were law-abiding you had nothing to fear.

That expectation has been violated by recent actions, because green card holders with no black marks were turned away or prevented from even coming on the whim of the president. That devalues something like a green card dramatically because it could be rendered meaningless one day by fiat.

> I think the idea that the government should protect people from their own choices is quite an unpleasant one

If the government doesn't protect people against immoral companies, who will? If an employee doesn't understand their obligations to pay extra taxes and cover their own forms of insurance, and doesn't ask for enough money up front to cover those costs, they'll go to jail and/or be bankrupt. That creates costs for taxpayers and corporations, the net loss likely higher than the cost of a bit of regulation and education.

Why not educate those employees (or ensure that they can't get stiffed for a lack of education) instead of allowing them to be funneled (or scammed) into an unproductive dead end? As a taxpayer, I'd rather see them protected and productive than unproductive and bankrupt.
