Most likely it's a vulnerable population and also one that has trouble making it to adulthood for a variety of reasons. It may also be that the researchers were specifically looking at kids and didn't expand the study to cover adults.
The real problem complacency. Too many Democrats assumed Hillary could not lose and did not bother to vote.
Oh please. Congress has been stuffed with GOP people who are in league with him. The only time they complain is when he does something that isn't conservative enough for them, like when he issued a statement that his administration would uphold the LGBT anti-discrimination order from Obama, and a few GOP congressmen complained how this infringes "religious freedom".

The only people in Congress who'll oppose him are (some) Democrats, who simply aren't numerous enough to make a difference.

You might as well get used to the new reality; Trump has the power to do almost anything he wants, unless it's so bad that it pisses off much of the GOP.

He does have something similar, in the Theil Fellowship. I don't think they're too scared of competition, YC says that they receive more qualified applicants than they could accept.
If you're in the "Trump is a mad man" camp, don't you want voices of reason like Kalanack's to be in his ear?

Based on his actions since Jan 20, he should be isolated, shunned, denounced and blocked by all available means until he either resigns or is impeached. It doesn't seem like "reason" is something that he will ever listen to, by this point.

That said, in principle it can be useful to have people capable of exerting the kinds of influence he seems to understand better (force, and threats of force). But not a hidebound accommodationist of dubious ethical principles like Kalanack.

(EDIT: apologies, didn't see the upvotes before revising the above substantially).
why do we need clocks, can't we just put a clock in everything else?
I doubt Kalanack and the way he manages Uber to be the voice of reason.
Other than a protest wasn't Uber fine until they didn't honor the Taxi strike at the airport? Seemed the #DeleteUber campaign really kicked into gear after that.

I'm not saying your statement of having smart people in Trump's ear being a good thing is wrong I just thought that the outrage mostly stemmed from the strike and not with his being on the team.

Granted maybe that doesn't matter; this is likely the only way to possibly reverse the #DeleteUber campaign. Though I'd be really curious as to how effective it has been (if at all though I'm assuming it has).
There isn't an alternative inasmuch as there isn't a drop-in replacement. Thus, there are switching costs, which thus represent financial (and counterparty!) risks.

Compare this situation to Dell v. Lenovo v. HP commodity x86 servers: if one goes out of business, you can go to the others (and proactively use this as leverage when negotiating). EDIT: Or more realistically, you don't need to do much/any work to run your service on a Dell v. an IBM.

When Facebook IPOed it had two classes of voting stock. Normal and super voting. They only offered the normal voting stock.

Facebook and Google both later offered non-voting stock, but not when they IPOed. Not sure if it really makes a difference overall, but unlike Facebook and Google there is no public Snap Inc. voting stock.
I do [want to make an enemy of him]. (Though to be fair, I'm not nearly important enough to matter.)

Seriously though, investment is a form of partnership. Thiel has diminished his stature as an investor in my eyes, government access or not; I will never -- now or in the future -- accept money from a Thiel-backed fund. YMMV.

Temporarily stops; that update didn't reliably stay dead.
I've recently gotten back into hobby electronics, trying to revive all that EE knowledge I haven't used in 15 years, and one thing I sorely lack is knowledge of common components to use.

Online electronics stores are no help because of the overload of possible components.

Is there some sort of Cookbook out there I could refer to for up-to-date examples of common circuits and electronic tasks? I mean, I otherwise totally would've used a 2N2222 transistor for some tasks, because I wouldn't know better.
I'm all for working inside the system for change but sometimes refusing to contribute and walking away is the best way get across the advice that is desperately needed. This ban is poisonous for the future of the American software industry.

What are you talking about? The modern prevalence of binary firmware blobs is the only concern I can think of in this area.
My two cents: Not sure what "Breaking the norm of company culture" means, but a company culture can be an important way to communicate the core values of a company. "Measure employee engagement" which is elsewhere on the website communicates the purpose much more clearly. Until I read your meetava page I thought this was some kind of replacement for company culture. Best of luck!
I'm happy to talk with someone like Evan McMullin, or our local Republican state representative who has some good ideas on housing (and other ideas I don't like). Indeed, I recently sat down and chatted with him and found him to be a very well-informed, bright guy. It was a pleasant experience and makes me all the more remorseful that the national election turned out the way it did.

It is, however, pretty difficult to talk with people who are ever more convinced that the truth comes directly from Dear Leader via Twitter. Look at the whole inauguration photo thing - he's telling people to ignore what they see and believe him. That is very worrying. It's easy to have different ideas about the facts and what to do about them, but if you can't even agree on the facts, there's really not much to talk about.

> leader of the free world

Seeing the US referred to in this way really makes you get a sense for how effective nationalistic propaganda is.

* leader of the free world
* greatest nation on earth
* freest nation in the world

None of which is quantifiable or accurate.

Honestly, what good do you think Kalanack could do in his position on the advisory council?
It's not like they could claim anything else. No company can guarantee that it will remain profitable.
Too bad. I think that the more tech insiders remain at arms length from Trump, the better. But Kalanick reports that he was pressured to resign from this position not from Trump or his cabinet, but by those that felt it was an endorsement of Trump.

I think that we need more of the Valley close to Trump, not avoiding him. They might be the ones he ends up listening to.
the real problem is that the democratic party rigged the system against a candidate who could have beat trump, and ended up with the only candidate who could have lost to him.
Could be equilibrium reached - market saturation. All those who will use it are now on it, and the only way to go is down as the Primary Users, err, grow up and their time and interests are spent elsewhere. I mean, it might sound terribly reductive but I kind of figure there's only so many teenagers at any one given moment, and growing rapidly into a dominant market share is wonderful until it isn't.
Johnny Depp spends "Over $150,000/month on full-time security for his children" according to current revelations. So $900K/year for someone who's not very famous isn't unreasonable I suppose.
Like I said, it depends. Colloquially it is also "inability to slow down". The "inability to speed up" is more common, but it doesn't invalidate the first one.
I've literally wiped the whole drive, went back to Win 7 - everything was fine. Upgraded back to Win 10 and had all the same problems again.
Computer Science will end up like Math. Lots of adults today learned geometry, trigonometry, and calculus in school. If you ask them how much of it they use on a daily basis most will tell you they don't.
Also, chicken carcasses.
You're proving his point. "He's just a fascist, so everything he says should be immediately ignored and disregarded." That's not having a conversation. That isn't talking anymore. I know you 100% believe he is a fascist, and history may look back on you and say "man that guy is so right" but the 45.9% of voters disagree with you. Calling them supporters of a fascist regime isn't going to change their mind, hell it seems to strengthen it.

His point was we need to have conversations and real moderate intelligent people surrounding someone like Trump. You push those people away by calling them nazis and the only thing you're doing is leaving a gap for people who don't care if you call them nazis....you know...like actual nazis.
Anecdotally I have seen a lot of people AND brands/public figures stop using Snapchat in favour of Instagram stories. Stories on each platform don't cross-post well (Snapchat for example puts a massive white border around posts from the camera roll) so it makes sense to commit to one.

Personally the thing that makes me use Snapchat less is the 'discover' stuff. 9/10 the stuff their promoting to me is top 10 type articles for teenage girls. I enjoy the Economist story but apart from that the rest is garbage. They could have a really nice media consumption platform their but they seem to be wasting it.
> The only time they complain is when he does something that isn't conservative enough for them

That's not entirely fair. Several Republicans have objected to things he's done on other bases, including the immigration E.O.

The partisan duopoly created by the structure of the electoral system creates an illusion of a simple unidimensional political divide, and partisan tribalism is high, but, still, even conservatives in Congress sometimes have more nuanced policy views than "is it conservative enough?"
> We only hurl partsisan-charged invectives at each other. Kalanack's choice here is a visible example demonstrating that "not talking" is the solution.

It's Kalanick.

What a shit design of this page.
Battle between experts trying to convince people from the street is very fragile system. Arguments start from the scratch every time.

The idea of making expert witness testimonies as part of ones academic record is great.

Scientific expert testimony literature should be cumulative in the same way as legal precedents are. Code copying is case that comes up again and again. There should be convergence towards scientifically justified ways for experts to determine copying.
This kind of cognitive dissonance is a reliable indicator that persuasion techniques have been applied. Interestingly, presenting contrary facts is well-established to have virtually no persuasive power.

We don't run experiments on a single page, but instead run them across groups of similar pages. The easiest way to think about this is running a test across a "product" template on an e-commerce site. A site could have thousands of product pages, but they're all on the same template. We would grab a set of a few thousand product pages, and split them into control and variant groups, execute the change on the variant group, and monitor how Google reacts to the groups in aggregate over a period of time.

Depending on how many pages you have, we can run many tests in parallel.

I got interested in chatbot few months ago and looked at few open source implementations.

so far, my findings are disappointing.

the capabilities of those bots are very limited.

I remember there was a post here saying they've built the first layer bot. I checked out.

it turned out to be a menu system. for each question you ask, you have to select from few options by providing a number.

sounds exactly like the auto phone support system.

there are other deeplearning based ones I tried. but the replies they generated were very random...
Solving it at the block layer (device mapper) is even slower, so what do you propose?
This sounds a little over complicated all in an effort to decrease the amount of code changed at any given time. They took great pains to keep data in sync across A and B datastores and I'm not so sure that extra cost was worth the perceived stability of this approach.
If you're already tied into GAE, Google's other offerings in cloud become really easy to tie in, from adding buckets in GCS to adding extra stuff in GCE. With the soonish coming of Google Pub/Sub, it takes a lot of effort to switch to AWS.

I really don't see the value in reiterating this statistic over and over again.

The POTUS is decided by the electoral vote. If the process was by the popular vote, the candidates would have campaigned very differently and the voter turnout could be much higher.
With "Ferris", these six bytes are in your program's read-only data section; the "Ferris" expression actually returns a reference to these six bytes (this reference is a "fat" pointer, which consists of a word with the address of the first byte and another word with their length, in this case 6).

The String::from("Ferris") method call returns a String. With the String, these six bytes are in the heap; internally, a String is similar to a Vec<u8> (heap-allocated vector of bytes).
>we will start departing in hordes and take that American Dream appeal with us.

And where will you go? I can't think of very many nations which are remotely competitive with the US as a place for tech work. Either their infrastructure is terrible, the culture and government too corrupt, their government too oppressive, the quality of life and standard of living too poor, the ability to immigrate too difficult, or the cost of doing business too high. Various places have tried copying Silicon Valley for quite a while now, without that much success.

You could try going to China, but good luck learning Mandarin and have fun putting up with massive pollution and the Great Firewall that hampers any kind of IT work. You could go to Switzerland, but good luck affording it, plus the place is just too small anyway (the country's whole population is less than just the Bay Area). You could go to El Salvador but have fun dealing with gang crime and the world's highest murder rate. The only place I can think of that might actually become serious competition is Canada.

I would also assume they have factored in some growth over the next 5 years... If they don't have many multiples of 158M DAU by 2022 they are screwed regardless of their hosting bill.
> don't you want voices of reason like Kalanack's to be in his ear?

Generally, yes. However, I believe there is a line that can be crossed where this is no longer a good idea. The association will always lend some credibility to the administration, and when the administration commits an action like the immigration ban, you should stop assisting them in any way, period.
Just to clarify your answer, here is another thing Google won't tell you: once you build yourself in their cloud you will have to find something else to do with all the time you used to spend on latency.
No, if you think that's the problem, you're part of the problem.

Serious question: how does Snapchat spend so much money on infrastructure? How could the app run up a $2b Google Cloud tab? Would anyone care to break it down?
Some world views should not be (and are not) accepted. Railroading damaging world views has always been part of politics, and for good reason -- there are plenty of world views whose existence damages everyone.

How to use Deep Learning when you have Limited Data
Trump is in no way anti-immigration.
Machine Learning and AI seem to be in vogue but become tough to implement unless you have boatloads of data. We've personally had multiple frustrating experiences over the last ~7 years of trying to solve problems using ML. In almost all the cases we failed to ship due to lack of data. Transfer Learning is a major breakthrough in ML where companies with little data can also build state of the art models. Unfortunately not enough people know about it. We are trying to do our part to make it easier to use Transfer Learning as well as increase awareness about it.

Using Transfer Learning we can build a model to identify cats and dogs in images with a few (<100) images as compared to the few thousands it would take before.

To make Transfer Learning easy we are building https://nanonets.ai that has multiple pretrained models that can be augmented with your data to create state of the art models. We are currently in the process of building our first few models. Image Labeling and Object Detection (in Images) work with a few Text based models coming up in the next few weeks.
So it seems cross-compiling is supported now?
"which has resulted in at least 1 death" this is not true.
Bandwidth is kinda cheap these days though, if you avoid GC and AWS. Anyone have recent numbers at this scale of commitment?
If I'm in the Trump is a mad man camp, and I am in the Trump is a mad man camp, why do you think that a voice of reason will get through to a mad man? I think Kalanack just lends respectability to a mad man.
Bridge building at every opportunity with those of opposing political views should become the policy of the tech community. Hopefully the YC/ACLU collaboration can make some headway on solving the problem of both sides demonizing the other.

> The underlying problem in the US is we've stopped talking to each other.

Yes, but this is not just in the US, unfortunately. I have relatives in many places of the world, and things are escalating everywhere.

I blame social media for that.

People can't look at each other in the eye anymore, so they forget what it is like to feel empathy. They congregate around small online bubbles, and a lot of people is almost PTSD-anxious about talking to people of other bubbles. So they resort to humiliation and other tactics. When they try to talk the same way IRL, they get shunned, which makes them feel victimized and justified in their hate. Now we're seeing real politicians espousing the crazy ideas we'd only see in comment sections ten years ago.

It's a downward spiral, unfortunately.

I don't know how I'd feel about a public resource being at the mercy of some user's comcast connection.
There are plenty of bad parts too. The start menu keeps freezing regularly for me on multiple machines. Searching in the start menu returns random results. Settings scattered across multiple control panels is just absurd. In-OS advertising is a complete no go to me. The nagging to use edge too. The frequent forced reboots and full screen notifications are a nuisance. And it makes it really difficult to change default apps, on purpose I suspect.

I just don't like it. It's not about visual design. I couldn't care less about flat design vs windows 7 menus, etc. But it is functionally really bad.
