I tried to block auto-playing video on CNN but it's pretty obvious some scabs have latched onto a fake metric that assigns fraudulent value to a video starting, it's actually difficult to prevent the videos embedding or playing.

Makes sense that that would be the next fake metric for Facebook to pursue given their other fake metrics got outed as worthless over the last few months.

That link refers to de-faking their fake metrics with even more fake stuff like "milliseconds that an ad was on the screen" LOL.

>who knows what and in what order to teach.

Plenty of courses have their general outline publicly available. Some colleges even share older lectures [0]. There are more-than-enough resources available for self-directed learning. Have questions? StackOverflow exists.

The #1 criticism against self-directed learning is how self-motivated the autodidact is. Most people suck at staying motivated to teach themselves. If they aren't 100% passionate about learning the subject and can keep their interest going, they will fail.

If you have actually used the app, you'd understand that the author's point is valid. It is certainly misleading that the "Tip" section (which defaults to 0%) is hidden entirely under the "Service (10%)" line item at checkout, which used to have an arrow but now has a button which says "Edit". Why would you click on a button next to "Service 10%" to find out how to tip, or even know whether tipping is a part of this service model?

It's also unclear how the "Service" fee is distributed. There is an explanation which states that "Unlike a tip, which can only go to the shopper delivering your order, a service amount allows us to pay all shoppers (including those, for example, that also pick out ordered items at the store)".

This implies that it's a "Shared Tips" model as in some restaurants, where tips are distributed evenly amongst the staff that worked that shift. But could also be interpreted that they just collect these "optional" service fees centrally in order to pay all nationwide workers, which simply amounts to corporate revenue unless they are actually distributing 100% of the service fee to Instacart contract employees.

Instacart, as with all "sharing economy" apps, seems to be making quite a bit of corporate revenue on the backs of workers by misleading users.

Every deal is different so this is all speculation. A common theme with a private equity buyout of company like Rackspace is to break it up into pieces that can be sold as a unit.

Mailgun meets that criteria, it has all of the components of being a full 'company' or can get the ones it was missing, and it has a customer base, product, and revenue (and its profitable according to the post).

So someone bought Mailgun and that owner is treating it like a separate company. Sometimes its the original founders that buy it back, sometimes it is another firm that thinks they can do a bit of work and then sell it or take it public.

Other things that are typically sold off are real estate holdings, patents and other IP, trademarks, and sometime infrastructure contracts. So if for example Rackspace had a long term contract to host company X, they might sell that contract to another Colocation company like Equinex or Coresite.

The idea is that you can sell off all the bits for more money than you paid originally and make a profit. It is not unlike buying a wrecked car and selling it off for parts.
I think the model just got tired of reading text and decided to mock us :) Just kidding. The attention mechanism got stuck somehow for this sample. This does not happen very often, though. It's important to note the samples we posted were not cherry-picked: they are just the first 10 sentences from our test set.

Regarding the truncation at the end, that was a bug in our sampling code that we just fixed. We will update the samples soon!
> Facebook wants to run Snap into the ground

I think it's more Facebook wants what Snap's got. Snap has visibility into bits of time social graph Facebook doesn't, and the latter doesn't like that. Vindictiveness isn't a good long-term strategy; ruthless territoriality is.
Why the post is signed by "CEO of Mallgun"?
>> They mostly prefer to grill candidates, rather than look at what they've actually done.

When I interview people I like to grill them on what they've actually done. All evidence you may find on a CV or on github is secondary to what they can actually speak to. That's my opinion of course, everyone has their way of finding good people.
But doesn't twitter have a huge amount users with incomplete profiles (or eggheads)? Or is it an assumption?

I cannot find the article anymore, but there was one about "Why I'm not concerned about Fukushima" (directly after the incident) that was completely wrong (false information about the security infrastructure etc. there) and also saying the incident would be resolved in a couple of days.

The other articles also stated very optimistic outcomes related to when the land would be usable again and when the situation would be controlled. Just to remind you:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/worldviews/wp/2017/02/08...

A robot will stop operating in ca. 2 hours with these levels, a robot ... "Nothing to see here, radioactivity is no issue. Fukushima is doing great." This is NOW ... not last year or before. Please come and help clean up, if radioactivity is no issue for you and you feel it is safe to go there. I think Tepco pays quite well.

Edit: making clear that the radiation leak with the highest values has been measured a couple of days ago.
quoted-printable is used to encode email messages quite a (7)bit :) Take a look of the source of most any HTML-formatted email.

In my experience, it's the only way to keep content of an unknown character set and highly diverse content from getting corrupted when going through processing stages (for email). A lot of the tools to manipulate an email message can (also) be destructive.

Email is weird.

I can see why they'd use it for this service, if the original email was also a part of the notification they're sending.
Because you would then assume that the tip is going to the person that served you. In this case, the service charge is essentially a tip to the Instacart company.
we live in a democracy. In Ferguson, police were abusive and corrupt. Mass protests followed, media attention was gathered, changes were made.

In libertarian land, mass protests against police corruption and abuse occur, the media is not allowed to enter, the protestors are all shot on sight. The end. The burden is on libertarians to explain exactly why this would not happen in the absense of any democratically elected government.

Agreed. I really want to know how having two memory channels is going to play out for memory intensive workloads like in-memory databases and caches.

I've been wanting something wider to play with at home for a long time, but the AMD parts are slow, and the Intel parts are expensive and have expensive motherboards. I guess I don't want it that bad.
It always seem odd to me that on a site where people are expert at algorithms and problem solving, lots of people here cannot deduce this very simple "therefore" scenario.

That's my reading, too. From the top of page 2:

> With the exception of the June 15, 2012, memorandum entitled "Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Children," and the November 20, 2014 memorandum entitled "Exercising Prosecutorial Discretion with Respect to Individuals Who Came to the United States as Children and with Respect to Certain Individuals Who Are the Parents of U.S. Citizens or Permanent Residents," all existing conflicting directives, memoranda, or field guidance regarding the enforcement ofour immigration laws and priorities for removal are hereby immediately rescinded.

That's a fairly large exception.
I find it difficult to imagine doing extensive web work (Rails, Django, PHP, JS) without ever touching GitHub.

Surely, in the course of your daily work using giant open source projects you'll file a bug, comment on an issue or even submit a pull request. Most large applications are built off of dozens, or hundreds, of open source libraries—all of which have bugs at various times.

I don't expect all web developers to have side-projects or libraries, but I would expect they'll interact with open source projects in some way. This way of thinking clearly doesn't apply in more closed source worlds like games, finance or giant enterprise—but it certainly holds for startup/web work in my experience.
And didn't DoorDash just bump their fees recently? Could be just my area, but man I swear the delivery charges increased substantially in the last couple of weeks. Lots of places with $5.99 and $7.99 delivery charges attached to them.

I tried many of the tiling WMs, and XMonad was the one I liked second best behind i3. One thing I really liked about XMonad was the "flip this window with the "main" window. But marks and "stack" or "full screen" in i3 work for me. The thing about XMonad was that I don't know Haskell and so the config was something I would cut and paste snippets into and pray that they'd work.

...except Bob over there, but he's kind of a grumpy old man anyways, so you can just ignore him.

Pro tip: Just write "The team is very excited" or something like that, its saves that tiny bit of awkwardness.

Thanks for the feedback - it's so hard to hit the right level of description. I'm definitely biased here after just leaving academia since I keep thinking "if we don't mention the hierarchical models they're going to think we're frauds!" - ha.

But you're absolutely right - our goal is to appeal to developers as well as marketing types, so perhaps this level of detail is just confusing and unnecessary on the landing page.

Feel free to shoot me a message if you have any other feedback - I really appreciate it!!
I use Lightroom, but it's fairly "dumb" in its approach to photo management: no features, no surfacing of old content, just a useless grid. GPhotos on the other hand surfaces old photos in interesting ways, shows you moments from the past and even sometimes creates cool edits on its own. It's actually pretty magic, and feels years ahead of Lightroom.
So if we agree it is acceptable to use animals sometimes in order to advance a greater good, who decides where that line is? Doesn't your belief look somewhat like a religious one in this case in that while you adhere to them you certainly cannot ask anyone else as well as they may not hold the same values as you do?
France can be divided into Metropolitan France (the main hexagon of France, along with Corsica), Départements d'outre-mer (including Martinique, Guyana, and others), and Collectivités d'outre-mer (such as Saint Martin). In terms of US geography, the rough equivalents are the continental US, Alaska and Hawaii, and unincorporated territories of the US (like Puerto Rico). If you don't understand the latter term, think of it as a fancy term for colony.

Well, sort of. Looking briefly at many maps of France (in French), the inclusion of the DOMs are relatively rare, in contrast to the inclusion of Alaska and Hawaii on most US maps. Corsica is about as prevalent as Alaska and Hawaii (probably more so), while Guyana and the other DOMs are about as prevalent as Puerto Rico.
With similar concerns, I wrote photobak so I always have my photos locally: https://github.com/mholt/photobak
A lot of the biggest successes of US civil rights movements have used proper government channels.

For example, women's suffrage was a constitutional amendment.

Or the Civil Rights Act. It didn't by any means fix all the problems in the US, but it represented real progress.

And then there are the thousands and thousands of lawsuits filed by groups like the ACLU.

Just a quick note pointing out that also Darwin and Einstein did 99.9% incremental research. Natural selection and evolution were well known concepts before the Origin of the Species, and so it was relativity. What Darwin and Einstein provided was just small steps forward, and a LOT of perspective over what was already there.

Yuck. Just the normal nutrition crap with no real studies to back up the claims. The biochemistry may be sound to a point but the conclusions about ageing and positive health effects of "x, y, and z" are there on the hyperbole. Zero respectable publications where they show that people with "diet x" are healthier than the average population.
As much as Steve gets credit, the real credit goes to the thousands of engineers that were the ones who created the envelope of which to push, and then kept pushing that one as well. Its never one man.

Oddly enough, the only somewhat successful project ($20k/month peak passive income) I've ever had was when I didn't know how to code. I spent all my time on marketing and built the site in Wordpress + Plugins in 1 day.
Great point! The same type of argument is going in the AI subfield of computational creativity. A computational system might produce a piece (of art or music, say) which nobody initially likes, but could provide a justification/interpretation which might be convincing. In some ways this would be a big improvement over a pure Turing test-style judgement of the output itself. I think Margaret Boden has written this idea into her definition of computational creativity.

EDIT: "The ultimate vindication of AI-creativity would be a program that generated novel ideas which initially perplexed or even repelled us, but which was able to persuade us that they were indeed valuable.", from Boden, Creativity and Artificial Intelligence, 1998. I believe, based on her other writings, that she thinks of it as a sufficient, but not a necessary condition, for AI creativity.
We interviewed a guy and without prompting (that's probably off limits anyway) he told us how he's divorced and has no real social life, so working long hours for us would be just fine by him. I wasn't impressed by him to start with, but that just put the final nail in the coffin for me. Not only did it sound a bit desperate, I'd prefer someone with a healthy attitude toward work and life. The other hiring managers felt the same way.
Let me add:

- bots

- hashtags

- simple working multi device setup

- an option to not feed your and your friends social connections to Facebook
A decade ago when I was teaching computer programming full time at the community college, I told my students that their online portfolio would be the most important thing to differentiate them from their classmates.

I'm actually slightly less sure of this today... It's probably true for startups/"tech" companies; but many, many programmers work LOB in non-tech companies and I haven't heard/seen much that the hiring process has changed. If anything, we've come closer to the consensus that a small "work sample" is the best possible kind of interview - show up, here's a laptop and a small CR or project, implement. This has the advantage of being do-able remotely too, of course.

Pull requests back to languages and frameworks works if you're at the skill level and motivation to work at the framework level (e.g. Google, Facebook, Microsoft; the companies making the mainstream frameworks). But it's a dis-service to ignore many, many programmers working successfully at a lower level. It seems like the portfolio-as-key to being hired is still not very true for that category.
> We'd still be using wired mice and ugly black boxes.

im pretty sure a lot of people use wired mice and have black boxes as their desktop computer case.
I don't get why you would give up on E2E when you can just switch to Signal, unless you use Telegram for some features that Signal does not have (I don't know if there is any TBH), but you do not list them in your three points.

It would also make sense if more people are already on Telegram (so that you have less people to convince to switch), but again you don't mention this reason to prefer Telegram over Signal.

In my case, as usually advocated by security expert, I prefer Signal, and I fallback to WhatsApp whenever it is too big a hurdle to make people switch.
Or maybe it doesn't happen. In hypothetical land anything goes!
For me, I'll certainly look at a Github if someone links it or mentions their OSS work on a resume. I'm looking for positive evidence that a candidate takes on substantive tasks and writes good code, which means looking to wherever a candidate has put their effort. It's never the only factor, so I have no problem saying I'll look to Github iff it has content.
Yes, it would be a great improvement.
don't know if you are serious or joking.
