Perhaps a honest discussion would do?

First things first - I would not call me a denier, but I would call me understander.

An outcome from what I have read somewhere was that, if Sun increased its output by 1% (and kept it so for some years) it would cause equivalent warming to the one observed now. As far as I can say, Sun's activity was never constant. There may be other factors as well.

On few occassions I showed this page to believers: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milankovitch_cycles - I do not remember getting any answer. The question was simple: what caused previous global warmings? What made the last glaciation melt down? I have searched for Milankovitch on HN and this was posted few times, but always zero comments from what I can see.
To answer your question is complicated because of the existence of Centaurs[1]. I will say that the fact that entities like Renaissance [2] exist is proof that there are still some humans that are better than machine learning algorithms. Now whether Renaissance employs Centaurs is hard to tell. My statement though is that machines reduce the number of experts because they reduce the population looking at a problem and my suspicion is that experts are uniformly distributed. So in a population of 100, there might be 1 expert in a population of 10000, 100 experts and 1 super expert, etc.

I chose the financial markets because you could say that it is the perfect competitive space for this kind of evaluation, though I wouldn't be surprised if Centaurs or humans existed in other areas as well which are better than machine learning algorithms. Still the point stands that for people in the 91st to 98th percentile a lot of value will probably be lost when humans start going away from practices in droves. Another acceleration for the 1%.

If you're so inclined I'd make it a "living document" that gets updated as the state-of-the-art evolves. Writing CL in 2017 is not likely to change rapidly in the next decade but even compared to what writing CL was like 8 years ago it has changed enough.

Nice job.
Nope, it has new problems that are (IMO) worse.

Flipping a coin?

Edit:

(except of course you generalize the result to "the coin falls down").
Looks like its a smaller deployment (38kb) nearly as small as Preact, much smaller than Ember, and brings TypeScript support and <angle-bracket> style components to the ember ecosystem.
The install parameter you provide already requires yarn and the rather large ember-cli, in addition to requiring my app to be built on top of glimmer instead of with it.

How can this possibly be considered remotely lightweight, especially compared to something like Mithril? I count at least 12 repos on your github that seem to be integral components including a dedicated CLI!
Hi there!

We've done two things to address the sidebar motion issue:

1) We've improved the sidebar's motion with an updated layout that creates fewer visual changes, and

2) We've been building deeper integration into the editors, with new UX around completions and looking things up.

Check out the new demo video on the homepage—we think you'll like it! : )

Regarding datasec, unfortunately we haven't gotten to that level of security certifications yet, but we hope to get there soon!
> 1. An editor, usually a woman or a minority group member, writes a stub for a requested article, including references and assertion of notability.

Proof? No?

So is this true or is it just lazy writing that attempts to frame this as yet another attack on women and minorities so as to try and garner easy support?
First, Wikipedia admins are not chosen by the Foundation, nor employees, but are simply elected users. Once elected you stay an admin "forever". Wikipedia en has 1268 of them.

>The Wikipedia admins have free reign to vandalize any article they want...

They don't. You can of course discuss their edits, especially if you have good arguments against them. You may ultimately call for a vote on that.

If they have gone rogue, you may signal them, and they may be removed from the role.
The reasoning is simple. A warming is said to be due to the "greenhouse effect", the major portion of which is due to "water vapor in atmosphere". If you show me a chart of "greenhouse gas concentration" and leave out water vapor, something is not making sense.

I don't know whats going on with that chart, whatever. I am just telling you the end result of showing it to me, and doubt I am alone.

Model 3's will sell literally as fast as Tesla can push them off the production line. The pent up demand for this thing is insane. Over 400,000 people have already paid $1000 deposits on their cars.

The only thing that could possibly stop Tesla is their own inability to deliver.

edit: Wow, I've gotten some negative responses and I'm not sure why. This isn't a "how can I exploit people" question, it's about making sure my interview process doesn't accidentally result in people that will be unhappy. It takes a lot to compete with incumbents and agreeing to work for a startup is the algebra of pros/cons.

> I have had startups expect more then the typical 40 hours a week, and yep, I burned out pretty fast.

I'm the head of an early stage startup and have a favor to ask: can you give me advice on how to detect someone with your 40-hours-or-I'll-be-unhappy mindset? I've never heard a candidate employee express anything close to "I'm in at 9AM and expect to be out by 5:30", even if shortly down the road, it becomes clear that they feel their work/life balance is being infringed upon.

I don't mean this in any negative way and I envy people that aren't boolean in or out, but people that would feel burned out on 5x10h days (+ sometimes a quick Sunday Slack session) aren't good fits _right now_ for my team. Reliable "I do my 40, put in good work, and I'll be here for years" people are _great_ for much later stage (post-IPO, for instance), but it would deeply bother me if I found out one of my workers was feeling burned out/demotivated.
At that price you're probably looking at a pre-Autopilot car, which I'd probably avoid. Autopilot is great, for one thing, but also because Tesla's build quality got substantially better over time. I don't think it's because of Autopilot, but its introduction makes for a decent dividing line between old and new.

I haven't looked too hard at the used market, but it looks like a decent way to get one for less. This web site lists a bunch that Tesla is selling through their CPO program if you want to see what's out there:

For what it's worth, I have an early 2015 Model S and it's had a few minor problems, but nothing close to leaving me stranded.

There's no debtors' prison in the sense that you have to go to prison if you can't pay your debts. The criminal offence is delayed filing of bankruptcy: If your company can't pay its bills, it can't make payroll or its liabilities exceed its assets you have to file for bankruptcy within 3 weeks.

The problem with this is that often it isn't entirely clear if a company really is bankrupt by that definition. A company can be nominally bankrupt in one moment and solvent again in the next depending on how you look at it from a technical / accounting point of view.

This again unfortunately sometimes is preyed upon by both liquidators, investors and creditors, who might try to sue the managing director in order to recoup their losses from the director's personal funds. A conviction for delayed filing of bankruptcy both applies additional pressure and makes a director personally liable, GmbH or not.

So, in short: No there are no debtors' prisons anymore but the effect you described very much still applies thanks to outdated and misguided German bankruptcy laws.

So? Were the other two on vacation and impossible to reach when you had to make a decision about whether to work there?

If you have no way of having any access to either of the other two people on the team, you are just playing with dice. Good for you if you're happy - you could have made a more confident decision if you talked with one of the other two on the team first.
That is pretty cool.

I think that's the entire point. There's no inherent value attributed to labor except as a piece of the value produced. For the paintbrush example, you just want your room painted and a price you're willing to pay. When the benefits of productivity are largely captured by the management class, which then hires less people, that's having your cake and eating it, too.

The propublica study has been shown to be a lie, see https://www.chrisstucchio.com/blog/2016/propublica_is_lying....

Anyway all I'm claiming is that statistical methods are much more accurate than humans. Nothing there disputes that claim. If you want the most accurate predictions possible, you should use an algorithm.

That article implies that humans are somehow fair or unbiased. That is a completely ridiculous claim that has been proven false many times. Human judges give ugly people twice the sentences of attractive people. Judges have been shown to give significantly harsher sentences just before lunch, when they are hungry. Not to mention all the classic biases against gender/race/political affiliation/etc. Studies have shown interviews are worse than useless at assessing how good someone will be as an employee. Instead employers are biased by how much they like the candidate. We should hardly expect traditional parole interviews to be any different.

But almost no one cares about these results. Yet when an algorithm is shown to have a (not statistically significant) bias, people freak out. This, if anything, proves my point that algorithm aversion is a serious problem.
Post-industrial society is when services have a more important role in the economy than manufacturing. Doesn't mean manufacturing doesn't exist.

Now, the world isn't uniform with respect to progress. There are still pre-industrial societies where most jobs are concentrated around agriculture, and industrial societies where all jobs concentrate in manufacturing.

You shouldn't be deploying a CLI into production. While I haven't looked closely at this particular system, guaranteed you are not deploying the CLI. Just using the CLI to create deployable code.

I don't think it's partisan so much as incurious and sycophantic as access journalism has evolved.

You will also never have a memory safety issue on that processor because in that environment using malloc() is already considered a sin of the highest degree.

Yes, I've tried to use clinical decision tools for complex cases. They aren't integrated into our EHR (which is the most common EHR), so inputting the data for a case takes between 10-15 minutes. That's as much time as I get to see a patient at an outpatient visit.

I'm a doctor. I'd be delighted to have decision support for every problem. As it stands I have decision support for medication dosing and for appropriate use of imaging, both of which are very helpful.

Tencent's reach is mind-boggling: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tencent#Investments
>Point is, you'd be surprised with what you can 'get away with.'

Two problems with that.

1. You get away with x until you can't. Lots of people don't have easy lateral moves to other companies like techies do, so being told to stay late isn't anything they can fight.

2. Advancement is still a thing. If you're the guy clocking out at 4:30 but everyone else stays until 6, your boss will notice and that might hurt your chances of advancement regardless of how "good" you think your work is. Those guys staying to 6 are playing the long game to be noticed and get promoted and a raise. Sure maybe at age 25, making low-end money is great, then you want a kid and a decent home and now you're wondering why you can't get promoted.

>People seem to feel a sense of importance when they overwork themselves.

This goes against everything I've seen. People act a certain way because they feel presured to. Everyone is busy with their self-interest. We don't want to stay late or remote in at night. We do that because we more or less have to.

As someone who has worked in both hardcore and lax environments, I can guarantee you none of this is optional in a former. Getting into a latter took me 10 years. Good jobs where you're seen as a professional with a life outside work are sadly lacking.

How to Minimize Senior Care Payments – PersonalMoneyService
I will touch on something that everyone else seems to be taking for granted - salary is a complicated concept. There are a few factors that you need to consider when comparing salaries from two different companies.

The first thing I will look into is 401k. Early stage startups do a particularly bad job of this. Ask if you have an employer-sponsored 401k plan and how much the employer will contribute. I'd also ask about the investment options, just to be safe.

Next is healthcare package. Ask for the full prospectus for all available options and how much they cost, after employer contribution. Also make sure that your dependents are covered too.

Ask about WFH policy. If you don't have to commute to work everyday for 9 AM meetings, you can save a lot and live better by living further away from city center / downtown area.

Make sure you have enough PTO for vacations. Ask about accrual policy and make sure their policy is to pay you for unused PTO when you leave.

If you have a bonus target, make sure you know exactly what you have to do to get all / most of it. It is easy to promise bonus when they can get away without paying it.

There are many more points like the above. The cost / savings from these add up. You are the only one who can do the math and decide whether it is substantial or not.
I am happy to say that in the hedge I am working at, work hours have gone down a lot.

When I joined in 2010, I would start at 6.45am and finish after 9pm everyday. There was a lot of stuff to do.

But once the platform improved and the workload reduced, so did the working hours. I am now doing 9 to 6 approximately, which is pretty great.

I also removed emails on my smartphone. Best move ever.

Push for it. Working less is worth it.
That's quote ,a library that generates code for you at compile time ,it takes code as input,has it's own syntax. It's like compile-time reflection.

It's not code rust programmers would normally write, I'm one of those programmers. I'm glad some libraries like serde,rocket and diesel are using it to generate code instead of doing run-time analysis.
On the one hand, it's great that there are more places to sell games and more ways for game developers to be paid. This can improve the ecosystem.

On the other hand, Twitch manufactures its cultural bonafides. As opposed to Valve, who makes great games, Twitch sponsors conferences, runs an elaborate developer relations team, and makes a lot of strategic investments in other games.

Authenticity matters a lot to gamers. Valve earned it. This affiliate advertising program would seem to undermine authenticity.
I guess that makes sense. It is similar to:

void putSomething(Integer i)
void putSomething(String i)

and

obj.putSomething(null)

which I think throws a compiler error in java.

I cannot believe that crosshairs actually used hairs. Mindblowing.
The problem is market maturity. If Uber is currently facing a quickly maturing market, the upside is limited. Investing in growth is much different than investing in diversification. For example, Google's ad-click market is completely mature, there is very little new growth there. So all their investments are in something new to add to their revenue pipeline, whether that will be AR or autonomous technologies. The fact that Uber is already seeing a loss of market share indicates that market maturity is fast approaching. How much of their investment is simply protectionism to maintain market share rather than growth?
