Bad Trip: Debunking the TSA's 'Behavior Detection' Program
>I think lots of speech is worthless but just because I think that doesn't mean it needs to be censored.

But the fact that a mod on a site or a site owner deciding not to let you use their site as a platform doesn't diminish your ability to speak. The Internet by design gets around this problem. Don't expect the every site to act as a mirror to share all beliefs. Let site owners do what they will (and I respect the people at Shopify to do their own decisions even though I think it does make them complicit with bigots).

>If I didn't find any real value in your post I'd still defend your right to post it.

That's the problem, we're not owed a right to post anywhere but on our sites. Anywhere else that we're not paying for access or are an owner (jointly or wholly) is a privilege. We're guests here and anywhere else like that.

>Personally, I have a very real problem with online communities bullying people into using their power to further political goals and so I applaud Shopify's response.

And I think their choice is a naive one because it assumes all economic actions are value free. Every choice they make at this point is a political and moral act. To state otherwise is to lie to one's self. It's better to stand by a set of values that they think are compatible with their venture than to pretend they have no values.

It would definitely cost less, and datacenters are readily available, already running (i.e. zero actual project risk).

My guess is that they hope to use Google's TensorFlow and/or a lot of the GPU instances from AWS - TensorFlow needs a special chip and GPUs become outdated in 1 year, so it makes more sense to lease them as-needed.

Holy cow! As a Rotty owner myself (beautiful Ruby),and shes had plenty of damn problems, but 10k, holy shmoly man, I can afford it too, but ahhh, thats so killer. For the record, I probably woulda done it too.

List of problems: suffered from Panosteitis until she was 2, tore ACL when 1.5 years old, had eye entropy surgery. The toughest was the ACL. Shes 7 now, suffers from pretty terrible arthritis which I combat with different stuff.

Tomorrow, my brother is taking his doberman shipped to the US from Serbia 3 hours away to the doggie dentist, where he has the most fucked up teeth you have ever seen. They are made of glass. My brother is already in over 7g's on the teeth, the dog is about to turn 2...

Anyways, you are a great human being and I am glad rottys are getting love like that.
That's a pretty arrogant position. A small minority of people is afforded opportunities to live comfortably by themselves. There's nothing shameful about accepting help from people who can help you, if you need it.
Definitely. Inheriting "generational" money is not common.

A couple of things that might help you get started:

New York Tech Meetup (now the New York Tech Alliance) - https://nytm.org/ (meetups happen monthly; events happen regularly, check the site for the schedule)

Co-working spaces in NYC - there are new ones popping up (and shutting down) all the time throughout different parts of the city. Probably easiest to search for co-working spaces near where you live. I haven't been to any in awhile, but a Google search should get you a decent list.

New York Tech Week - http://techweek.com/newyork-schedule/ (this happens in the fall, but you can still get an idea of popular companies and people from the speaker list. More of an information source.)

I'm not sure if I read your comment properly. But you said SQL Server has both? Both JSON and XML?

Yes SQL Server has json, but it's not real json support. It's an ntext column with some json functions... support for XML is great but the sql Server team refuses to support json properly because "we invested in xml and no one uses it"

PostgreSQL on the other hand has a real json type for a Long time with query and index support. As well as xml. In this regard, json support. PostgreSQL is actually ahead of all rdbms...
The amount of cowardice required to make a throw away account on hacker news to make a point (that isn't even particularly controversial) staggers me.
This only works because the sky does not transmit much energy at the particular infrared frequency this operates at.

In contrast ordinary objects (the computer case, a tree, a wall), do transmit those frequencies.

This would have no effect - it's absorbing the frequencies emitted by the wall, and transmitting to the wall, the net effect is zero.

i.e. it only works under open sky. I suspect even clouds would block this from functioning. (Not sure about this - maybe water has a "window" at this frequency?)

The real question is how much processing grunt do you need, and does it have to be onboard or can you process it at the basestation after video broadcast? Simple ARMs are $10 or less. My cheap sourcing advice at hobbyist scales is to search for the chip model number on taobao.com and evaluate CNY prices. Most suppliers will ship overseas for a small additional shipping fee. Also, if you find a niche product (dev board, etc.) with a clear manufacturer, try contacting them through their website directly. Seeed is a well known and reputable source of popular parts who ship overseas.
I made this account to post something else, just happened to comment here as well.
Those who "focused in some super-niche proprietary tech for many years and are unfamiliar with the latest trends" have a level of talent that may be difficult to measure. It probably isn't low though, since they lasted years.

Nearly nobody will hire them, because employers like you are expecting 100% domain knowledge on day 1. Because you are completely unwilling to give a person a chance to learn on the job, you are missing out on employees that tend to be low-cost and loyal. There is a cost to having employees regularly quit, and you are paying it because you refuse the sort who stick around.

An Introduction to Stock Options for the Tech Entrepreneur or Startup Employee
Both Roth and SEP are great ways to save for retirement and they are not mutually exclusive.

SEP IRAs let you save a huge amount of money (last I checked, a few years ago, it was up to 50k, or 25% of your income, whichever was less) tax free. But you pay taxes when you pull the money out in retirement.

Roth IRAs let you pay taxes now, and then pull money out tax free in retirement (and you can pull out contributions in the meantime if you need).

So, you can hedge your tax exposure in retirement by contributing to both types.

I went through a round with hired.com and I'm based in Atlanta. While you can specify that you're not willing to relocate the selection of potential employers looking for someone here was seemingly low. It wouldn't surprise me if there was very little to no matches for whatever reason. I feel like Atlanta is a tech hub but some days it doesn't want to act like it. I would think Miami is somewhat similar with Nashville coming close behind but there aren't any concrete explanations. All I can really do is speculate from anecdotal evidence.
>...only that all points of view should be equally expressible.

Again, so long as private parties are not morally nor legally obligated to be a platform for all people that visit or use their site there can be no argument that they should act as one outside of their self-interests (or that of their shareholders).

>To me, there is nothing in that ideal which insists that lies need to be accepted, or can't be fought against, or disproved.

Then how would it work when Family Research Council sells their t-shirts and keychains or whatever through Shopify? How would they feel about such an organization which opposes LGBT rights using their service? I'm sure it would give some discussion among their employees. See the problem? At some point, you gotta admit that all economic actions are political ones (same with social actions).

>You're accusing others of false equivalence, by way of false dichotomy.

Far from it, I'm pointing out that free speech as so many fellow programmers/devs conceive of it as this perfect ideal to reach for rather than a legal right that we enjoy. And part of that comes from the faulty notion that there's a marketplace of ideas when ideas don't operate on the basis of a marketplace. So when you have that idea that ideas should be treated as goods in a marketplace your only option is to take the plunge and support free speech in all spheres of life, especially those which are private and personal (which gets dicey IMO).

>You also seem to be assuming that anyone who believes in "absolute free speech" does so to defend right-wing, anti science views, which if so is simply not accurate.

It's not that they defend such ideas but that they allow such ideas to infect and distort the public discourse by not opposing their dissemination in the private sphere. If you own a site and genuinely believe that global warming is a man-made disaster then it makes no sense to give denialists access to your platforms. At some point you have to take a stand for your beliefs beyond the ballot box or your campaign donations. At some point you have to push back.

You really just described me. I've to do such a show-case project to complete my MSc Thesis for a minimum pay. And make all the proofs, so that the C-Suite guys can use during their presentations to sell what I made for a lots of money. (Even unaware if they'll charge their customers in the hundred thausands or millions range).

However, I'm really glad to find out about SnappyData.io, that's gonna save me a lot of time waiting. It would truly be my perfect dream, if they allowed running any programming language inside an environment like Jupyter.org or BeakerNotebook.com, but with Pandoc.org Markdown. So that I can essentially work fulltime programming, while I can also document it and also be able to export my documentation to a good looking latex thesis.

> there's no documentation for all the ways that safe rust code is allowed to segfault

I wouldn't say "allowed" to segfault. :P The behavior you're referring to is currently due to a deficiency in LLVM for non-Windows platforms. Here's the bug on the Rust repo tracking it: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/16012 Its resolution is long-awaited, to say the least, but it requires someone proficient with LLVM to do the legwork...

Anytime you're writing an interface where code is going to be calling into Rust via C FFI, you ought to be using https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/panic/fn.catch_unwind.html , which is specifically intended to prevent panics from crossing FFI boundaries.

His definition of "theory" is, shall we say, quite specific, though he tries to overextend it to all cases. Since data are particular and theories deal with generalities, it is impossible to take generalities and get back to particulars.

Ah, the good old days! I spent the first half of my career freelancing, and the second working for the man. My current status is fine, but I do look back fondly on the freedom and the limited exposure to company stuff. It was no less work, though. I worked pretty damned hard to keep customers happy, and being freelance didn't take away the essentially obsessional nature of programming (for me). I learned to compensate by taking long trips between contracts, something that would be impossible with my current FTE status.

Best of luck.
sorry that the question came out so ambiguous.
yes, by school i mean uni.
the question may have better been asked as "what is the best route to take for a mathematics student to learn the most relevant ideas in ML?"
i've take all the classes which you've listed, i dropped school somewhere halfway through. I know how to write code for ML, this isn't totally new to me.(by this i mean i know how to use the python ml library)
i ask topically, what math is most important in the further development of ai?(ie complex analysis, combinatorics, graph theory, stochastic methods are all things important in ML, what other math is worth noting?)
the math you listed are simply things required for most comp-sci majors.

Forgot to say im already working as a sole trader, so i already have an accountant and already paying those taxes
So basically, reading between the lines as a long term China resident and also the first employee of a major US cryptocurrency exchange, the Chinese government's 人民银行 (renminyinhang; People's Bank) has met with domestic exchanges and requested immediate additional processes on withdrawls. These probably include government reporting and/or blacklist processing. Since US exchanges are already subject to AML/KYC processes, this merely brings Chinese exchanges roughly in line with their US counterparts. I can see nothing to imply any additional restrictions so far.

Zooming out a little, there is good reason to believe that the Chinese government is less afraid of Bitcoin than the US, because Chinese mobile payment penetration through wholly owned systems (mostly WeChat) is already near 100%. Domestic transactions are therefore pretty much safe from Bitcoin... which offers slower settlement with more hassle on a much smaller range of goods and services. Also, relative to the US, taxation is very low and easily calculable across all of China (regardless of product type, buyer and seller location) so the appeal of Bitcoin for shortcutting that overhead is not present, as it is within the US with its famously antiquated multi-state tax nexus conundrums.
I didn't want to comment on this but my friend and I went through a batch and we could pretty much say the exact same thing. I wouldn't say the advocate wasn't terribly helpful. I blame it on the selection. Though my friend and I had different advocates and I seemed to jump through more hoops likely because I set my asking salary higher.
I'll be contrarian here and say that I actually hate that most remote companies make frequent on-site travel part of the job and pretend like it's a perk. Travel, including on-site visits and "group retreats", are not perks for me.

I have a family and a life where I'm at and part of the reason I like to be remote is because it allows me to be productive with minimal impact on other things (e.g., don't have to waste 2 hours in commute time each day). Places that require quarterly visits to the home office are kind of just aggregating all of that disruption into a single week. Still better than doing it every day, but not a thing to tout as a benefit.

> Housing asset prices are primarily constrained by the affordability of rent

In a low interest rate environment this is not really true. Speculative booms can and do occur (see Australia). During such booms the ratio of house prices to rents diverges significantly. It is rents that are constrained by wages - not house prices (people don't take out loans to pay rent like they do to buy houses).

This is a bit off-topic, but I'll hope for the second "A" in AMA: I still have a bit trouble figuring out how docker envisions URL routing to work. Currently we use a simple setup with Hipache that forwards to our hosts running containers und multiple ports. This would work for failover and scaling as well, however at the point where DBs come into play it gets troublesome because hipache just routes in a round-robin manner instead of keeping routes persistent for each client IP (so you could end up showing them different replicas that are not in sync yet).

Anyways, my issue is: Does Swarm integrate a solution for URL routing and if so, does it tackle the persistency problem?
