Important scientific results should be replicated. My understanding is that the scientific community now recognizes this and is trying to put in place the institutional frameworks to make this possible. Assuming that gets put in place, the next task is obviously choosing which experiments are important enough to justify replicating. Would be cool to apply some AI so as to remove the politics from that decision.

It seems to match her original blog post.

"It turned out that keeping me on the team made my manager look good, and I overheard him boasting to the rest of the team that even though the rest of the teams were losing their women engineers left and right, he still had some on his team."

That's not the worst thing she reported, but it's there, and it's definitely very bad. Would you elaborate on what mischaracterization you see?
I am not a huge fan of Fb or other soc media, but I consider this data mining era as unavoidable and from other hand, some day all that info might even help humanity (or damage it, of course). So, we can consider this power as a Pandora's box and I am pretty happy that it is only there in FB (well, and Google, Microsoft, etc.) and i am pretty sure you, as well as many others would like to open that box and see inside. Good is that you, or me, or anyone else cant do that. Good is that if something will go very wrong, we will know who to blame. But nothing will go wrong as long as bad guys (who afraid surveillance) does not have a chance to touch that box.

Data Science Is Hard: Anomalies and What to Do About Them
The problem is that there are plenty of energy-storage companies available for you to invest into on the Stock Market.

AES Energy Storage for example, is building tons of energy storage across America. And you can support them by providing investment dollars.

So yeah, building companies (or at least, helping companies that match your worldview) is quite easy in this Democracy. Instead of complaining about it, you should be elevating AES Energy Storage and other similar companies.

With the existence of IntelliJ Community Edition, there isn't really any good reason to suffer along with the bloated carcass of Eclipse.

And buying IntelliJ is only $150. Everybody has their own calculus of convenience versus money, but for me at least, that hits a spot where better tools and the time I save is more valuable than the money they cost.
Haha, I almost forgot about this. Thanks!

Intel AI Pursuit
Ah good point. It could be that the first-preimage attack gets you exactly X, in which case it fails to handle second-preimage. I would expect this to be incredibly unlikely (especially since they seem to generally involve generating some random garbage). I would also expect most first-preimage attacks have a way to "continue" to a third value, eventually.
I am really sick of hearing "technologists" constantly shitting on not-even-very-old tech-slash-software because it doesn't jive with their cloud-infected view of the world. We devs are real assholes in this regard -- if an app doesn't work perfectly we rip it to shreds over incredibly arbitrary and fussy criteria.

Like the Tools > Android thing. Not the best design decision? Sure. But jesus christ does this guy seem to hate that. A lot of us grew up using programs like this and I find the location of the Android submenu in Tools to be perfectly fine. I mainly use IntelliJ for Ruby and all my Ruby tools live in the Tools menu too. If you understand IntelliJ as a Visual Studio-style polyglot platform, then the design makes sense. If this guy would take a moment to understand what he is working with, perhaps he would have much less difficulty.
The fact it's allowed at all is the problem though, and precisely why ES6 modules are superior.
Lunatic conspiracy theories about what Google does with email abound. There are several likely and reasonable explanations for why you can't find the mails you expect. Two of the most likely being 1) the messages were never acknowledged with a 220 response from gmail's smtp protocol translators to begin with; 2) the messages were accepted but are still in flight for some reason. Gmail does not accept and then silently drop messages. If they are accepted, they will be delivered.

This is great advice.

Just want to tack on for the OP (or anyone else): Look at the fees. The fees will destroy your retirement. Both the individual fund fees and the account management fees.

For example on my 401K provider they have funds with fees ranging from 0.19% (index fund) up to 0.58% (fully managed fund). You'd think that the fully managed funds outperform the index funds which makes the fees worthwhile, but actually the reverse is true (that the index funds have outperformed the managed funds historically).

If you don't manually select which funds to invest in they put a lot of your money into the more expensive funds.
Preface: I understand the uselessness of the comment I'm about to make to someone with presumably a functioning android app they're developing on...

I've found this to be one of the brightest spots of working with React Native. Having most of the application code in Javascript and good debugging tools really reduces that cycle. I use an app called Frappe and it's just shift-cmd-r to reload the app's javascript.

There are still some parts of the app we're using native code for, and it doesn't help there.

Damn, you're right and too late to edit. I was grabbing straws, admittedly not very informed about Uber's goings on. I do recall seeing Uber internal strife claims repeatedly over the last two years. Specific examples do not come to mind at the moment.

Below the age of schooling is not so much unique time when you spend a lot of time with the kid. It seems unique only when you are spending very little time with them. Most of that are routine daily duties, sometimes frustrating, with unique magic moments sprinkled here and there.

Quite frankly, if it would be so unique, men would be way less willing to work 60 hours a week just to prove passion for work. The trouble is, one of you two have to do those things else the kid will be neglected and suffer. Which means it is going to be the one there is less stigma against doing so, has lower salary or feel more responsibility towards the children.

Quite frankly, I don't know why career vs family is framed only in terms of good feels, unique times, etc in these debates and so rarely in terms of responsibility and children needs. Even more frankly, it seems to be framed that way by people who don't actually do that trade off.
The person who collected it was most likely not a Google employee; just the first person to download those files who knew about the bounty.
CS is the craziest of them all. Those should be the easiest to replicate. "Here is the code, here is a manifest of the environment/container/disk image/etc." You should be able to take that and run it and get the same results.

Or are you saying that the code itself is the problem and that they've done the equivalent of "return True" to get the result they want?
MY $1M CHEQUE STILL MISSING
People typically use Tumblr at this point. It's not designed for art, and it has issues with big images, but it has a fairly active community, so people use it. There's also niche sites, like FA for furries and various boorus for anime fans. There's also a semi-active twitter artist community, although 90% of those people also post elsewhere.

Discussing Basic Income with Y Combinator Research
> Google doesn't lose my email; I probably will lose my email, because an email server is backed by a database and doing database backups right is hard if that is not your day-job.

I use IMAP email. My email is simultaneously stored on my server and on every client. If the server is nuked, I can set up a new IMAP server elsewhere and sync my email client to it; I'd want to do this from work where I have gigabit internet, or this would take a while, but it can re-upload all the data to the server.

That said, I'm using a managed account. I'm not communicating about anything that I care if the government subpoenas, and I have no plans to.

Unless we end up in a totalitarian state where constructive criticism of the government becomes an offense. But in that case my public posts would be more than enough to convict me without looking at my emails.
I also have, for a while, and think the article is bull. Every time I have to use XCode I dread it, it has the worst linting, its symbolic icons make no sense to me and I keep forgetting what they mean, finding settings is a pain, and worst of all I've had it crash on me a lot, as well as refusing to parse my code at all. It's a nightmare IDE.
The answer is simple: Google honestly does not care. The parts that are IntelliJ are great and work as well as IntelliJ does. However, the parts that Google is responsible for (the emulator, the GUI designer/layout preview, the gradle plugin) just absolutely stink. And there's really no excuse for it, other than Google doesn't care enough to put people on the project. If they wanted, they have the manpower and the brainpower to make top notch developer tools; tools so great that men would fall to their knees at the sight of them. But instead, we get something who's selling point is, "It's better than the Eclipse plugin" because they simply do not care.
The Blockchain Is Evolutionary Not Revolutionary
Redefining the social experience through fun events
Yep another great point. There was another thread about funds question yesterday and I said the same thing. Almost all "managed" funds offered in retirement plans don't even beat S&P 500. So you are probably better off putting most of the contribution in an index fund and just enjoy the "meager" S&P 500 returns. The expense ratio etc. are so much lower for these index funds.
I'm no fan of FB either, but come on, what are you hoping to accomplish with this sort of vitriol?
My personal rules of thumb for Linux systems. YMMV.

* If you need a low-latency server or workstation and all of your processes are killable (i.e. they can be easily/automatically restarted without data loss): disable swap.

* If you need a low-latency server or workstation and some of your processes are not killable (e.g. databases): enable swap and set vm.swappiness to 0.

* SSD-backed desktops and other servers and workstations: enable swap and set vm.swappiness to 1 (for NAND flash longevity).

* Disk-backed desktops and other servers and workstations: accept the system/distro defaults, typically swap enabled with vm.swappiness set to 60. You can and likely should lower vm.swappiness to 10 or so if you have a ton of RAM relative to your workload.

* If your server or workstation has a mix of killable and non-killable processes, use oom_score_adj to protect the non-killable processes.

* Monitor systems for swap (page-out) activity.

> I got the idea after reading about the Google Maps Ground Truth team - turned out their secret sauce was an army of paid staff that could be sent out on demand to specific locations that needed to be verified in person.

This seems to be the point, though. I don't think that your parent (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=13714467) is advising not doing any work yourself, but rather combining your work with existing OSM data rather than starting from scratch. Even if you took a simple algorithm, whereby you preferred any data you had for a location over any OSM data for the same location, surely you would wind up with a richer dataset?

To put it another way, surely GMGT is useful only in combination with heavy use of existing data sets, not in place of them?
There's a lot of libertarian fantasyland stuff in tech forums.

In reality, there's a built in tension between what a prosecutor or regulator wants and the interest of the individual. 200 years of law in the US was built around your "papers", mostly held in your home or on your person.

Now you have this new world where your "papers" may be a detailed diary of every place you've been for most of your life. My wife's phone has immediate access to 60,000 pictures with date and geo-stamps dating back to 2003. Oh, and by the way the storage of this stuff may be on a phone or computer in your possession, or in the hands of a 3rd party like iCloud, Google, etc.

The law is behind in it's understanding, and the various authorities want to have the ability to have total information awareness.
Personal opinion on the quote from the Azure page... they quote T-Systems as "well-respected IT provider".

Anyone who had ever to do business with them will respectfully disagree on this one. They were involved in Toll Collect and supplied the software and hardware infrastructure for Munich schools. The scandals surrounding Toll Collect speak for themselves, and a couple of years back when I still was at school I had enough fun hacking their cr.p to pieces to never ever trust anything with T-Systems involved. My personal favorite was "www-data ALL=NOPASSWD: ALL" in /etc/sudoers, and students were allowed to upload PHP scripts to their personal web space. You can guess what my entrypoint was, and I believe it wasn't fixed despite multiple warnings for over eight years (the reason was that they employed a PHP-written framework whose name I've long since forgotten, it was well known at the time and was a bit similar to Webmin...)

That said, the Azure Cloud seems to be quite stable, but I guess that all operating experience as well as the software stack comes from MS and T-Systems only has to keep the servers up and running.
0. Possibly not true in all cases. 1. Modern systems are much more aggressive about enormous disk caches, which can ironically lead to io storms when it swaps out your application to buffer writes, then has to flush the cache to swap the app back in. 2. Difference in working set size and number of background programs waking up.

and

https://twitter.com/bmeurer/status/834668611180625921

the "Bazinga!" event in both cases refers to two very specific fixes that addressed deoptimization loops in TurboFan. The more interesting steady increase in performance is due to long-term real-world performance work, especially in the area of data-driven ICs (inline caches) and function context specialization.

We will follow up with more details about Ignition and TurboFan, and the whole new code generation architecture soon.
> It's possible for the ocean to exist under a crust of ice though. See Europa for an example.

That's exactly what I was thinking of. :)

> I think it's a lot less likely compared to a planet with an atmosphere and temperatures that would support liquid water on the surface.

Sure, but we have little information on how common life is. We're not even sure there's no life on Europa. If Europa supports life, it may be that (basic) life is somewhat common given certain criteria, and while I agree it's probably more common on planets with atmosphere and your statements were not incorrect, it may be that life is actually fairly likely on a planet like that (which is what I, possibly incorrectly, interpreted your statement as ultimately trying to convey).
It's a question of jurisdiction. A company with subsidiaries in multiple countries necessarily needs to ensure that the subsidiary in a country complies with all the laws of that country. However, that doesn't mean that, for instance, it should be possible to serve a warrant in one country to obtain data controlled by a subsidiary in another.

It's entirely possible to compartmentalize hosting and authorized access, such that one subsidiary has no access to the data stored by another. That's critical if, for instance, you need to meet regulatory requirements such as the "data protection" laws in the EU. Rulings like this one, if not successfully appealed, will make it nearly impossible for any company with subsidiaries in multiple countries to meet such regulatory requirements.

Those wars are the reason why 1 in 200 men are direct descendants of Genghis Khan. Inter 'race'(this is an artificial construct but I am using the word for lack of another better understood term) breeding happens only during time of war ..I.e. Conflict due to stressed resources.

When peace lulls, there is no social change.

So I would say that there may not be wars fought with swords and cannons as much as olden days..but it's still being fought over land, ideology, water and resources.

I think Pinker has done his earlier fans a disservice by transforming into someone I certainly don't recognize but I am not all broken up about it because I have disowned Richard Dawkins too and that had prepared me. Maybe that's why he is calling himself an 'experimental psychologist' now instead of the cognitive scientist, linguist and psychologist he used to be..
It's just unfortunate that many public utilities in the US chose to fight innovation rather using the benefits of their monopoly to embrace the change and try to profit from it and provide better service.

What monopoly embraces change? Only companies that are beleaguered embrace change. This even applies to petroleum conglomerates and the now mighty Apple computer. (The latter became overconfident, then faltered, innovated, then innovated to cannibalize itself, now is going through another cycle.) It applied to Microsoft and IBM in days when they seemed eternal and invincible.

(Apple was never a monopoly, which is my point!)
