Most solid digital marketers I know are entirely self-taught because when they were getting started there was no real digital marketing industry. "Digital" was just the new channel people had to try out.

And yes, I agree it takes a great marketer to spot others. It would be a like a designer interviewing someone for a coding position. They might say lots of technical jargon type stuff and you'll have no idea what is made up, what is buzzwords, and what are signals that say a person is good at what they do.

I wonder if companies would pay for a marketing consultant to help them hire.

You can't just treat depression with games etc, for people that are depressed and fall into depression it goes way deeper than you think. Whenever, I have into depression I block all the negative news, I watch funny ideas, comedy , hanging out with friends, family, my little nephew and my dog. Also, coding and doing math helps me a lot. However, hanging out with my little nephew give me back that purpose to continue and work hard so I can make his life better

Hello. Respectfully, what is a complex representational system? Why are other languages/paradigms better suited over a language like F#?
Ads are pollutants. When people complain about being predominantly supported by ad revenue, and complaining that people block ads, it is exactly the same as people who work in the coal industry complaining about pollution restrictions. They can take their business model, and shove it.
Not really, no. They're expanding.
I haven't seen an ad since my early 20's when I trained myself not to. Even in the most challenging environment (eg. cinemas) I have the capacity now to entirely avoid them. Despite that I've never had the slightest problem finding everything I need. No ad has ever done anything for me other than to annoy and fight for attention with things of genuine value.

I use an ad blocker now less to prevent ads appearing (which unless they pop over or flash or animate I would barely notice), than to keep data usage down (I'm in a rural area with extremely expensive data).
Unfortunately, the usefulness of ad-blocking software is falling just as quickly ...

It appears that the rankings are not weighted by the size of faculty. Given similar faculty quality, larger departments will often rank higher in the scheme. It is true that larger departments have certain advantages, but one would think that it levels off if there is a critical mass in a given area. A better way to rank would be interesting. (A simple division by the number of faculty is obviously wrong as well since counting interdisciplinary researchers would lower the average.)

From my observations, citations are better metrics of quality than publication venues in the long run. Their rationale for not using citations is somewhat true but a measure like H-Score with a sufficiently high cutoff
should mitigate the problem somewhat. A more sophisticated method is to weight citations by the number of citations used in a given paper so that the citations occurred in each paper only sum to 1.0, as well as detecting and discounting 'citation rings'.

That said, it is a nice effort to bring objectivity to academic rankings and the site uses well-designed information architecture and data visualization. I appreciate it.

Wow, that explains quite literally everything. Never, ever, trust a company whose cost-cutting measures involves opting to not pay for office space to run a legitimate business. The attempt to tout the lack of a full office as being "modern, hip, and cool" is a blatant lie from management - it's the same concept as open-office floor plans, reimagined and magnified by a thousand. They get to save hundreds of thousands (possibly even a couple of million) dollars a year; meanwhile, you get the exactly the kind of product you'd expect from a bunch of people pretending to be productive from home and working in such a disjointed fashion.

It is always a HUGE red flag when a company opts to have all or a majority of their workforce working remotely. It's a cost-cutting measure, nothing more. Cutting costs equates to cutting corners, and the business - and its customers - suffer the deserved consequences.

This really explains the flippant "it's 11pm and I want to go to bed" reaction in their report. The guy doesn't have an office to go to when shit hits the fan. He's sitting at home, with a bloody ssh terminal open, trying to remotely debug critical engineering problems over a slow vpn connection. Alarmingly huge red warning flags.

> I should mention that we've tried the usual stuff -- subscription service to remove ads. Asking our users nicely to add our site to their whitelist, etc. Both of these have had minuscule impact.

I feel for sites that show messages like this in an unintrusive yet prominent manner. But I don't remove the ad blocker because I look at what's getting blocked and notice many trackers. If it were only simple ads (preferably plain text), I wouldn't mind and would turn off the ad blocker. But I don't want to be tracked and won't add an exception for any site, cruel though it may seem from the publishers' point of view. For me, what's really cruel is the assumption on the publishers' part that tracking visitors is acceptable and even something visitors shouldn't mind just to keep the site going.

Going on two years without Facebook. At first I thought it will be hard to stay in touch with friend but it is the opposite, I get to hangout more often with my friends, our conversations are more intimate, we genuinely want to know what happened since we last saw each other. As far as news goes I subscribed to news paper, have dozen email subscriptions which delivers it to my inbox every morning.

I started making photo albums again and putting my pictures in there whenever friends come over I get to show it to them.

As far as cat videos goes I get to watch them on YouTube

To be honest it has been the most productive time of my life since I deactivated Facebook and my friendship has become stronger

Moral of the story yes you an live without Facebook
Bingo. They run a lot of experiments. Their culture is, try a lot of things, we know a lot of them will fail but some of them (we don't know which) will be home runs (Kindle, Prime, AWS). Failure of an individual experiment is acceptable because Jeff Bezos knows you can't run a lot of experiments without a lot of them failing. Contrast to most other companies where involvement in a failed project ends your career.
I think there's a small error in the first code sample -- where the comment says:

Run kernel on 1M elements on the GPU

... The call to `add` isn't a call to a function that'd be thrown onto the GPU. The `add` function is very much CPU-only based on the definition in that code sample (at least, not at that point!)
The solution is less advertisers, less tracking and less personal data mining. The solution is blocking ads until they stop, go out of business or adapt.
I agree with you, that is one side of unionization, but you don't need to suffer to build a union. I am also in the bay area and have a pretty decent working conditions.

However, if a sector creates a substantial value to the economy, their unions affect governing organs, they heavily influence cities or states to work in their favor not against them. If we look at for instance how tech companies are treated in bay area vs the automotive giants over in Detroit, or potato farmers in Idaho we can see the difference.

The other response pretty much nailed it.

Basic working knowledge of how code works on the web, and how data flows from Point A to Point B is a bare minimum in my mind.

Then you're often dealing with a data warehouse, BI tools and the modeling hell that comes with it, etc.

Beyond that, there is using code to improve performance directly. Speeding up page load times directly impacts SEO these days with Google. Knowing where and how tracking breaks (ad blockers, cross-device cookies dropping, messed up UTM params, cross-domain tracking setup, cross-channel attribution, etc.) and the million "gotchas" that come with any analytics platform is also quite technical.

Then outside of the tracking there's things like media and ad buying. There's some crazy work that goes into bid algorithms used by all the big search and display platforms.

The other poster's point about getting it into all the nooks and crannies of your marketing channels is spot on. Involving marketing and adding tracking to every single new feature is a requirement for product development. Linking all marketing systems under one roof and determining a SSoT is critical, but often Sisyphean, task.

In terms of a basic tools/languages list, I'd say...

- HTML, JS, CSS
- Whatever stack you're working on...so common ones probably have some PHP or RoR
- Google Analytics and/or Omniture, or some other solid analytics platform, as well as their respective APIs for dealing with events and other goodies
- Other pieces in the marketing stack such as data warehouses (Redshift, etc.), email platforms, CRMs, bid management platforms, ad servers, tag management systems, CMS's, etc. These all need to be linked together in an ideal world.

For a "get them writing" idea, I'd personally love a secure, cross-platform (including different mobile and desktop platforms, though I'd be happy with iOS/Mac OS for starters), journaling app that syncs without using a service that's proprietary to the app. I like Day One (http://dayoneapp.com), but hate that it's not properly encrypted and that it uses their proprietary service. What I think I want is the functionality of Day One with the sync options and security of 1Password. That would give me the confidence to pour my head into a daily journal. And, as far as I know, it doesn't exist.

Edit: Hm. I googled a little after posting and realized that my comment about Day One not being "properly encrypted" might be incorrect. It was based upon my experience with v1 of Day One. It looks like v2 added encryption and it was further improved with v2.1--though I can't speak to the strength of their implementation and can't find anyone who claims to have audited it. And they still only appear to support their own sync service.

It sounds like techniques that brought you to the top aren't as successful with the new gameplay that the update introduced. My personal take is that the new update makes the game more accessible by relying less on mechanical skill.

You can still get in your opponents' head; all that effectively changed is that movement in opponent territory is faster.

I support the developers' decision to simplify the controls of the game. Although might break the strategies of a group of power users of the game, it's best for its growth in the long run.

Subscriptions are a terrible fit for the bulk of the web, and inhibit one of its signal advantages over other media (free-flow via hyperlinks between pages relevant to one's current purpose). I'd go as far as to say they are anti-web; entirely the wrong funding model.

Ads are from my perspective a disaster from too many angles to list here.

In short we don't have the right funding model available yet. Ads just prop up a poor one, making it possible to appear vaguely viable. So I think the more ad blockers spread, undermining the online ad industry, the better.

I'd be more convincing no doubt if I had the right alternative model at my fingers, but if I did I would probably be working on it not writing it up in HN. Micropayments of some sort seems to be the last man standing, but which and how and by who?

Ad blockers should be a standard part of the browser, just like it is in Opera and maybe Safari. Just like the popup blocker was a standard addition in the 2000s.

I also use a DNS based filter in addition to ad blockers. Gotta love centralised ad networks - you block some hostnames and you get rid of 80% of junk automagically. The rest is the ad blocker's business.
> It's perception that is non-linear,

Since perception happens when you look at the image on your screen, applying an explicit "perception" step in rendering is actually counterproductive, since those nonlinearities would compound.

Gamma correction is used to allow for better contrast resolution for the brightness levels where the eye is most sensitive, when you have to compress your color values down to 8 bits per channel. The display then inverts this to produce ordinary linear space intensities.
Long article, but main argument is this:

>What about the assumption that nonmonogamy is psychologically damaging? "Different people are different," Jenkins and Ichikawa wrote. Many nonmonogamous people report that they come to feel less jealousy over time; conversely, many monogamous people complain of experiencing sexual jealousy. In response to the charge that nonmonogamy is "unnatural," Jenkins and Ichikawa pointed out that virtually no species are sexually monogamous, even if they are socially monogamous or pair-bond for life. ("Not even swans.")
Nowhere. The restrictions are arbitrary, but that's not the point. The point is that given the restrictions placed on it, it's a neat piece of code.
Exactly. One thing we often seem to forget is that no business has a right to exist indefinitely. When market conditions change, and your competition isn't doing anything obviously illegal, any damage done to your business is your own responsibility. Just because a business is suffering doesn't mean that anyone else needs to bail them out.

> Furthermore, we know what the quantum collision-finding algorithm is optimal—no faster algorithm can be found.

There's two problems with this:

First, I'm not aware of any proof that Brassard et al.'s algorithm is optimal. Grover's algorithm is optimal, but it is optimal for searching for a specific output value given an arbitrary function. Obviously this optimality doesn't carry over to collision finding because Brassard et al.'s algorithm is superior to a naive use of Grover's for that purpose!

Second, even if Brassard's algorithm is optimal in the usual sense, it would be optimal if given an arbitrary function. Specific weaknesses in specific hash functions could still result in methods that would beat it.

If you could prove it was the best method for finding hash collisions, even against algorithms designed for specific hash functions, you would have to conclude that the best way to break MD5 on a quantum computer is Brassard's algorithm. That would be a big problem, since we already have better classical methods, and classical algorithms transfer trivially to quantum computers (with the same asymptotic properties). Someone's proof would have to be inconsistent, or ZFC would have to be inconsistent or something crazy like that!

It's def. not a non-issue. As you write yourself there some requirements to get there and in general you should do a migration to the GmbH after the end/before the beginning of a business year and not in-between. Just this restriction is a big bummer and paired with the other requirements creates some headache. So, you can't go to the notary and just opt to the GmbH, no you have to consult your tax consultant, find the right time, probably wait some months and prepare the switch properly.

Maybe. But in a both humorous and serious sense, this isn't a question of complexity being abstracted is it? It's simply transferring a solution to another medium. If not for software I'd solve the indexing issue the same way I would with paper. I'd have one paper that acts as an index across my books. Instead of using paper though I'm using a digital medium. So is that a case of abstraction?

I think democratic states who set themselves up as models of free societies have a higher responsibilty to live up to these values.

The fact that fascist or authoritarian states passed laws to support their excess does not change our perception of them or make anything 'legal'.

Authoritarianism couched in legalese is still authoritarianism. We are now 10 years into using the legal system to set extremely dangerous precedents and are guilty of insidiously corrupting and trivializing the democratic movement set up after the second world war.

Our evangelism of free and democratic values will now lack authenticity and will inevitably be perceived as self serving posturing and hyprocrisy. This loss of the moral high ground is a high price to pay for some generational politicians and NSA bureaucrats tinpot tendencies. The system is not working.
