A Hollywood Film Is Using Fake News to Get Publicity
The main issue with 'seniority' labels is that they are contextual - dependent on the hierarchies already in place in the existing team. In simpler language, what is a 'junior' developer changes depending on who is already there. The main manifestation of this in the recruiting process is a misalignment of expectation between the candidate and the employer. And all kinds of bad things can happen from this: under / over sold jobs, job title 'inflation', incipient turf wars and so on.

It's not an easy problem to solve and we've wrestled with this on Workshape.io (matching platform for Software devs). The formula we've come up with is a 4 level hierarchy based not on experience or times served but on the role you play within the team.

Entry - you are competent, but need guidance / supervision / mentorship. Your code will be reviewed before deploy

Mid-level - you are competent but do not lead or manage

Senior - you are still hands on, but do lead and manage others

Lead - you may still be hands on but managing / leading / deciding are the most important things you do.

Its still our categorisation though and we know it's not perfect at all

True, but notable in that the player had nothing to do with it.
Player agency in a medium without unlimited outcomes is a Choose Your Own Adventure, where the trick is done in plain sight and therefore unconvincing. Loom is just trying to tell a linear story in a convincing manner with the tools it has available, and it elevated the tools available. That's my only point.
Wow, a lot of prejudice and hysteria in this thread.

> When I go to a bank anywhere in the world I suddenly have to fill out a questionaire about not being a US citizen, having no phone number there, never having lived there and on and on. I have nothing to do with the US so why are they bothering me with this crap?

I believe this is because IRS went down on the US sections of international banks and fined them for their non-US sections having helped "US persons" to evade taxes. Remember that the USA are one of the few countries in the world that make people pay taxes anywhere in the world even if they do not have anything to do with the US besides holding a US passport or permanent residence.

Norway here, it's super popular. The only place in my entire life that I was not using a credit card regularly at was the local flea market, but last time I went there they even had one of those portable credit card things. Otherwise, I use it to pay for food, taxi, bars, just everything.

Even if I need to send some money to a friend to pay for my share of the pizza, we use an app that lets us send money between credit cards.

I haven't carried coins on me for more than a year. I do have one backup bill hidden away in my wallet just in case things go sour.

It's not ironic at all. Many websites listed on project's showcase page are screwed up if you open them without JavaScript. From mangled layouts to complete failures of rendering. This project pushes complexity where no complexity is needed. It's main appeal is that it uses a JavaScript library designed for faster DOM manipulation to render static pages.

I hope I don't sound too snarky here, but from bird's-eye view, this description sounds like business-speak for:

"It could have been normal programming with external services, with all perils and pitfalls. But in addition to the common pitfalls, you get a badly designed domain-specific language (DSL), using XML syntax to make it even harder to understand, with the promise that you can hand it over to non-programmers, except that you need programmers to extend the DSL with custom components anyway, to make it actually work for you."

Hoping this superficial judgement is wrong: How does the real product deviate from that snarky description?
1) a LED "wall" is far brighter than a comparably sized TV, that's important when you place stuff high on a building

2) An ordinary TV is designed to be looked at from the front, a slight angle skews the colors and if it's extreme enough the screen gets totally unreadable.

3) A TV eats up tons of power, a LED wall not so much.
We Must Know the Truth
Just to complete your post, one problem I always have with music generation using "first-order" Markov Chains is that they get really confused by children's music. For example, here's the start of "twinkle twinkle, little star":

CCGG AAG- FFEE DDC-

So the tranistion matrix contails rules like:
P(C -> C) = 50%
P(A -> A) = 50%
P(F -> F) = 50%
P(E -> E) = 50%

Which makes huge loops of the same note quite common. This makes for some really uncanny music.

Unless Norway is wildly different from Sweden then most use a debit card.

Many people carry a credit card too, perhaps as a free service from their bank, or a company card - but so long as one has both it's normally best to use the debit one. If you always pay the bill in time there's very little difference, but I feel a big mental threshold to "buy now pay later".
I think your hierarchy is pretty much realistic. I love what you're doing with workshape.io. I would like to chat with you more on the recruitment topic. Would you be interested? My Twitter handler is @RautaAlin
It's a talking point to make you angry. The wall is really a fence which is really an idea.

The method I spend money (offline) is in this order:

1 - Apple Pay (if available)

2 - Debit Card

3 - Credit Card

And cash for small amount if it makes tipping easier, or they don't take anything else. I only use Credit Cards for car hire, where it seems to be obligatory. Online I always use debit card.

They are debit cards.

Most bank cards issued in Norway that i have seen are debit first via the national system, with the option of using either a VISA or Mastercard as a second option.

And while i have only had to deal with VISA, those billed directly to the account (and seems to be a popular way for paying online).

You're correct that I misremembered the requirement; but that's also (counterintuitive as it may be) a requirement that fails in reality; the naive intuition that, even when people view policy on a unidimensional spectrum, their preference for any policy is inversely related to the distance on the spectrum between the policy in question and their most-preferred policy turns out to be far from consistently true.

Median voter theorem also, to be relevant other than in the trivial sense (in which a majority-rule election by definition, choses the formal option which was voted for by a majority of voters, which, assuming unimodal preferences but not necessarily unidimensionality, includes the median voter), requires the substantive policy outcomes to be both determined by the majority-rule election and transparent to voters at the time of the election. As substantive policy is usually indirectly set by aggregate results of of multiple elections that would be, in the best case, majority-of-majorities (but usually is less majorities than that at both levels), and because substantive policy outcomes are often not transparent to voters at the time of elections, the theorem is mostly an empty intellectual exercise.

On top of all that, median voter theorem tends to be even more irrelevant in the US because the US doesn't actually use majority-rule systems as much as people seem to think (it uses plurality rule more often for single-winner elections.)

Median voter theorem is most applicable in the real world in systems with strongly proportional representation, no separation of powers (e.g., parliamentary supremacy), high party discipline, and transparent party platforms that make clear both party positions and relative priorities.
Despite working for an American company (in Czech Republic, so we don't need visa), I would consider refusing to go on a business trip to the U.S., especially since they apparently started to ask for phone and social media passwords.

I also wanted to come in the U.S. again at least once or twice for tourism (once with my family to visit my old coworkers at the east coast, once with my coworkers to visit the national parks in the west), but I am also considering that, short-term.

Aren't you using a debit card, not a credit card? Those are very popular in NL too. There are even some shops that don't accept cash anymore (something I think that should be made illegal, but that's a different story), although on the other hand there are shops that only accept cash.
I agree, but as a European I will not travel to US because of the border patrol. I fear being asked to state my social media accounts, to open my smartphone and as worse case, to be detained for who knows what.
Just because they have the VISA or Mastercard logo on them do not mean they are credit cards.
When working through Michael Nielsen's deep learning tutorial[1], this was exactly the question I had. I used to think deep learning involved 1000s of layers. Turns out that training a network a few layers deep can already be a real pain.

Currently we seem to be training one-off networks that are very good at a single thing (e.g. recognising hand written digits in 28x28 pixels), but we haven't been able to really connect multiple networks together to get to more generalised applications.

I didn't see this model coming, but it show DeepMind is taking an interesting direction here, potentially leading to more generally applicable ML capabilities.

The concept of lines of credit existed for a long time before credit cards, but were largely limited to businesses.

They allow a factory for example to keep buying inputs while their outputs are being shipped to customers etc.

Credit cards, and their effect on the overall economy is a different beast however. Especially as they have to a large extent replaced the push for higher wages.

Personally when I book an holiday I do that well in advance (4 to 6 months) trying to get a good deal. Most of the time cancel an holiday is expensive. Back in October I was looking for a ski holiday and looked at Denver, what put me off was not the possibility of Trump or Clinton be the president but the dollar vs pound. I do believe that one main reason for the decline in this period was the strong dollar appreciation against other currencies back in Nov/Dec. For many holidays travellers, economic reasons count more then political reasons when choosing the holiday destination.

Why debit over credit? My understanding has always been that credit offers a higher degree of fraud protection, plus better rewards and no interest if you have the discipline to not carry a balance.

Tldr on page 4:

* The miner generates a random nonce

* It initiates a TLS 1.2 connection to the victim server, and uses the nonce as `client_random`

* The server generates an ephemeral public key (eg. using ephemeral DH or ephemeral ECDH), and responds with a 32-byte `server_random`

* The server sends its certificate chain as well as its public key, and signs the DH key exchange parameters along with `client-random` and `server-random`. This is the proof of work

* The client computes the SHA256 hash of the DH params, the signature and the nonce, and does the usual difficulty check; if it passes, it is used to make a block

FWIW, the other day I just made a quick payment with my bank mobile app. I entered an amount of money, it displayed a qr code, the other party (with a different bank) scanned it and the money was transferred instantly. It's a totally free service, no monthly charge, no piling interests, doesn't require me to go into a bank or fill an online demand to get a credit card. Way easier to split the restaurant fees or something that way. Europe, yeah for bancontact.

And:

> and no interest if you have the discipline to not carry a balance.

But there is no interest on debit card and you don't need the credit card discipline so it's not really an advantage over debit card. Some people just don't need or want a credit card. I am obliged to take one because some online services (mooc) requires it (and it's a bother, I should have done that a month ago but it's a hassle to do).

There are two things involved.

The first is a good imagination. Most people are born with a good one. Imagination tends to be more born with and can be harder to improve.

The second is understanding how to take what you see in your head and tell it to others. This is the part that needs help. Speech class for oratory story telling, art class for telling stories with images, English class for telling stories with the written word and many others. (These also can overlap.)

The basis behind story telling may be innate but the ability to share with the world is something that needs a lot of practice and training to be smooth.
