Trump's Wiretap Tweets Raise Risk of Impeachment
I agree that sharing knowledge is a good idea, but it doesn't always work that way according to history. For things that are "pure knowledge" such as mathematics or philosophy, sometimes the true geniuses would rather keep their work to themselves. Newton invented calculus and didn't share it with the world until Leibniz took credit for his independent work. Then there are questions of how often people may have just never shared things (or they just pretended to know more than they did), such as Fermat's Last Theorem.

I think some of the people that are attracted to this kind of work are going to do whatever they want to do, incentives be damned.
It feels like employers think employees want to steal something from them...
>I can provide all the sources used for the company I used to work for, however that's irrelevant if you as you said wanted to learn how to fish.

Personally, I think this should be a requirement of the government: "HERE IS A LIST OF ALL PEOPLE THAT ARE COLECTING AND SELLING YOUR PERSONAL DATA, CLICK THIS BUTTON TO DELETE YOUR RECORDS" sort of thing... it should be a mandated public service of regulation.

Then, they have a list of all opt-outs from which companies you may have selected to opt-out from, and you can simply send them any further contact from the opted-out companies you may receive and the company gets a fine, you get a compensation fee...

No one here is saying Windows isn't a viable platform. Just arguing that OSX also works well, if not better by default. You yourself just listed some examples where Windows cannot do things that OSX can (device exclusivity through ASIO).
I really think you should do a how-to / AMA

Financial ignorance is an exceedingly exploited issue in the US, and I do not think anyone is doing anything about this.
I mean, that's sort of what I want out of AI. A Culture-like Mind, like one of the hubs in an orbital. Resource allocation issues would cease to exist if we had a benevolent god or something like it!
Its a sewage treatment plant. He has not had anyone come to his business in 25 years that needed ADA compliance. It is part of the current building code, so that is that. No ADA, no final approval.
It was the first book that I can recall reading that was quite definitely Science Fiction. The scale at which he imagined things was amazing. Re-reading it recently, I was struck that my nostalgia seemed stronger than the experience itself, but it pretty much got me to read every damn bit of science fiction I could from then on.

So, not sure whether it's an amazing book (it was to me when I was 12), but it definitely set in motion a life-long love of science fiction books.
But when "the ends justify the means"?
I did it by hand by reading the original QBasic source code. One reason I did it was to reacquaint myself with QBasic, the first programming language I learned. Another was the challenge of converting a program which relied on blocking behavior to HTML5, which shuns anything of the sort; the solution I used was generators to simulate my own "IO monad."

The IBM EGA font came from an image someone kindly had of the complete character set, which I converted to JS: http://www.kylem.net/stuff/gorilla/ega8x14.js

The source code is http://www.kylem.net/stuff/gorilla/gorilla.js

Here is the problem with your "enforcing the law" argument:

Berkeley is not being inconvenienced in the slightest by "enforcing the law". The general public is.

Disabled people aren't being helped in the slightest by "enforcing the law". Instead, they are losing access to material that at least some of them can use.

When "enforcing the law" harms people who had nothing to do with violating it, does nothing to help those who were supposed to benefit, and doesn't really punish those who have (allegedly) broken it, it is quite clearly a poorly-written (or perhaps, enforced) law.
It is fast. Nice.

I wish all interviewing was like that above - typically it's - create some incoherent job description, run through a bunch of semi-random candidates, pick a random guy that fits the budget, rinse/repeat...

Candidates know that, typical in person interview has a 1/10 chance (or worse) of getting an offer from an inperson interview, and so most candidates, including good ones, would care less to spend much time on interviewing with any one employer, or do much to increase their unknown chances.

As a rusult employers don't get right candidates and then wine about lack of talent and pay for crappy tools that just sort resumes half assed way... good grief.
Imagine bullets with the impact of a 20 mm anti-materiel round that weigh as much as BB's.

Would be great for infantry. NATO nations standardized on 5.56mm in lieu of 7.62 in part because a soldier can carry more 5.56 rounds for the same weight.
Ah, I see. I did check the source to see if it was using canvas 2D, but I failed to check if it wasn't using WebGL.
Bread sauce (still popular in British cuisine) has a very different texture to Béchamel sauce. And unlike bread sauce, making Béchamel sauce is not at all obvious. If you gave somebody who'd never heard of it some flour, butter and milk, and told them to combine them into a smooth sauce, they would probably fail. Béchamel sauce was a real innovation.

It's actually really difficult to determine if a given action will decohere the condition, which makes the language design issue interesting.

For example, consider this code:

if (q1 != q2) != (H(q1) != H(q2)):
apply Y to q1

Acting on a qubit used in the condition is a great way to ruin attempts to uncompute said condition. But actually, if you compile this into a circuit, the ancilla used to hold the condition uncomputes just fine:

https://goo.gl/VD5Z2t

It has to with the fact that we're measuring X and Z parities of these two qubits, and yes applying a Y gate affects those parities, but it flips both so the parity-of-parities stays the same.

(And this is on top of all the classical obstacles to perfect classification, like the halting problem.)
Log-Driven Development with Redux
Well. Not really an experiment, which has specific meaning.

But like any other environment it's affected by those who inhabit it, so no big surprise here.
One example of many comes from the family in Mexico, about the 1940s:

"13 hijos!? y todos vivos??" ("13 children?? and all living??" [one mother])

"Unos mas vivos que otros, pero todos comen." (A play on words, where I failed to add the right marks, but: "Some more lively [same word as living] than others, but they all eat.") And they all (but one who died in childhood) had happy families of their own, spread across North America. I'm a grandchild of that one.
You've contradicted yourself, .AC is an overseas British possession, not its own country. There are a number of geographic locations that have two letter country codes (.io, etc) which are not members of the UN and are possessions of some other, much more powerful nation, usually as a result of the last 400 years of colonial activity.
Not the GP, but it isn't uncommon for a large donor to have an opinion about a staff hiring decision. They could easily say, "I'll pay that salary if you hire X"
Agree. The lawful/chaotic distinction is something I'd not encountered before, and really helps one look at behavior in a new lens. For example, am I lawful out of convenience, fear, or true belief in it? It was a bit jarring to realize that I was Lawful Good (as far as I can tell) despite having Robin Hood (chaotic good) as a hero for most of my childhood.

It's philosophical conservatism, not political conservatism. The Snake game works as it is, why change it?

Of course the rest of the work is itself a rather potent rebuttal to that idea. In the context of the Snake game, at least.
I am with you on this one. I've read and liked quite a few books mentioned here, but I'm hard pressed to find one that fits the "fundamentally changed the way I think" criteria. It was all fairly incremental. Except Castaneda's writings. That stuff was explosive.
You're certainly not going to study Bayesian statistics without knowing (or at least having studied) what a p-value is.
It's certainly true that the manufacturers have no reason to push back, and every reason to interpret the rule broadly.

It's easier to just lock down everything than to get the lawyers involved in the software architecture.
There actually is some basic runtime support for generics, just enough to avoid breaking the runtime. For instance, if I create a class MyList extends ArrayList<Double>, there actually is some runtime information that says MyList is an ArrayList<Double>, not just an ArrayList.

You're right though that saying templates are different from generics is based on opinion, not fact. There's no widely-accepted definition of both that would separate them as distinct from one another.
I tend to agree with this, yeah. There is plenty of room for change in how we run the economy giving everyone a chance for a good job.

For one - the working hours in the US are crazy. Cap it at 32 hours and badaboom, everyone has a job. Combined with a decent minimum wage, you'd be fine. And yes, if this would result in economic collapse, Europe would've gone to sheise a looooong time ago yet the countries rated as best to live are the ones who have executed exactly that recipe.
As a teenager I came across the eclectic medley of Anthony Burgess novels in my school's library, and fell in love. They're all so vastly different and weird and yet they made for great reading:

- The Wanting Seed: sci-fi about an overpopulated planet, full of dry humor

- The End of the World News: a musical about Trotsky's final days in Mexico, mixed with Freud and an Earth-destroying comet. Supremely weird but entertaining

- Tremor of Intent: Ian Fleming-style spy novel

He also wrote books on linguistics and was a composer. (Not sure about his compositions, but I have a degree in linguistics and found "A Mouthful of Air" to be solid.) Really underrated writer.
* John Wyndham: The Day of the Triffids.

One of the minor themes is the relationship between morality and society. I read it as a teenager, and it made me think about the issue in a way I'd never done before.

* Adolous Huxley: Brave New World.

Similar reason as for the Triffids. If this is a dystopia then what, exactly, is wrong with it? To answer that you need to first define what society is for, and to do that you need to confront deep questions about what humanity is for.

* Desmond Morris: The Naked Ape

* Robert Axelrod: The Evolution of Co-operation

* Matt Ridley: Nature Via Nurture

These three changed the way I think about human nature.

* Douglas Adams: The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy

There were all these ideas in my head that I didn't have words for, and suddenly here was someone making jokes about them.

* James Burke: Connections

A book as well as a TV series. History suddenly became interesting, as well as making a lot more sense.

Yep. Same with "Privacy Policies".

If you have one, the FTC can come after you for violation of said privacy policy. Fines can result.

I can't help but feel the system is highly rigged in favour of investors.

Many countries have tax incentives for investors, but when it comes to people actually joining startups, investing their time and effort, then all you get is a tax bill - and mostly at a highly inconvenient time to pay it!

It very much feels like the system is designed to keep the rich rich, and to put the working (wo)man in their place.

> Regarding stock options expiring 3 months after leaving the company, it doesn't have to be this way and a lot of startups are moving in the direction of 10 year exercise periods.

This requires converting all options to NSOs, and the tax implications of NSOs are not pretty. (From a tax perspective, ISOs aren't great[0], but they're much better for employees, by design).

[0] You have to pay AMT on the spread between the option price and current value at the time you exercise, whether or not the equity is liquid, so you could end up paying a large tax bill only to find that the company goes bankrupt before you have the opportunity to ever sell your equity.
Yet this has little to do with socialism but rather with Kleptocracy, which is the same in USA and now coming to the US with this new president.

Pretty much everywhere in the world, lower income inequality is closely correlated with being a nicer place to live in for everyone - like Finland, Sweden, Norway, Netherlands, Germany and so on.

That there are countries where the government, under the ruse of either socialist or libertarian policies, steals from its people has little to do with it.
I think the children are good at using computers. Also, many are good at programming computers - but at a more superficial level than some children were a generation ago. A generation ago, you had to know much more to achieve the same effect, so people had either deeper knowledge or none.
It's only game over if you give up.
I guess I'm the "something else entirely" vote. If it's mostly for internal use, I would shy away on build on a platform stuff, and find a "form builder" type app with web server capability or a web service. Google sheets feels a little light for this purpose, but likely could be done at some maintenance cost as your number of forms grows.

The first hit in my search was zoho creator or Airtable (but I know nothing about either) - I was looking along the lines of something like Filemaker for the web. And just to keep growth in mind, be sure to have a way to export the database and form/field content. That way you can keep the option for a more custom build scenario later.

Edit: added a google sheets comment.
Both of your points I find extremely surprising. I've found that mentioning that I have other offers makes me a more competitive pick (this reflects my experience when I was a recruiter as well), and that's very weird that they balked at your question about parking. Honestly you probably dodged a bullet.
As with all things legal, it's all up to the Judge(es), and how they decide to interpret the law and your actions.

Automated speech to text is still a pretty mixed bag. A lot depends on sound quality, speaker accent, nature of the material etc. I just (again) spent some time looking at various options for my podcast and decided pretty quickly to continue using human transcriptions because anything else just wasn't worth my time.

But, for this application, I would have thought the YouTube CC was pretty adequate. Especially given that, as you say, I'd expect most college courses on technical topics are going to have a lot of the content on the slides anyway.

We already know the major drivers in most tumor types. These are the early mutations that you are going to look for in cell free DNA. Additional cancer-normal pairs are not going to elucidate many new driver mutations.

I agree with Raph that OT and CRDT are closer in concept than many people currently think. Each have some interesting advantages. If we find a good way to combine them, perhaps it would be possible to engineer a system that has a different combination of advantages than today's OT or CRDTs provide.

If anyone is interested in a role working on OT, I'd love to hear from you! https://jobs.lever.co/lever/517c90b8-3519-48ee-b848-33282796...

Mentioning that you had another offer can be tricky. Did they ask you if you were seeing other companies? Did you just put it out there? Did you put them on a deadline?

Mentioning that you have another offer is seen as a negotiating tactic. Then they have to compete/bid against the other offer, and you are removing some of their leverage/power. A strong reaction to such a move can be to cut off the interview, so to regain back their power.
Human nature isn't anywhere near as simplistic as economists tend to believe. That is why half the theories doesn't work in reality, people are far from the rational actors they're made out to be.

You could have very well made the rest of your point without the personal attack, which was quite unnecessary and unfounded.
This is a good question. I've tried both approaches, and currently favor going after the rare multi-skilled hire. In general, I have seen many cases where one person who has a small-medium amount of experience/ability in both is a lot more productive than two specialists.

> There are so many more statisticians who can at least communicate and work effectively with developers and vice versa.

Not in my experience. You need to design your data infrastructure to promote easy analysis, and you need to design your models to scale well according to the amount of data you're working with. There are also many cases where a project will require mostly engineering work for a while, and then mostly analysis/statistics work–there are ways to handle this with specialists of course, but there's generally a significant switching cost.

Also people with a combination of statistics & programming aren't that rare–IMO it's more that employers tend to search for both degrees, when instead you should be trying to evaluate the skills directly.
Quite relevant given the meta-topic - "The Structure of Scientific Revolutions" by Thomas Kuhn. It's where the term "paradigm shift" comes from.

A class action is an action where there are a large, possibly unknown, number of plaintiffs suing a single group of named defendants. With the thought process being that if a single case against a named defendant is won, then that same outcome would happen for every other plaintiff, and thus doing it once saves the court time.

What you're suggesting is more like a John Doe case where you sue a number of unknown entities, and that can be won, but at some point, the plaintiff has to name the John Does, so that they can defend themselves.
