This is a really neat concept. One of the challenges for me for learning is filling in partial knowledge. E.g., when I understand some statistics / AI concepts, but want to fill in some new area of knowledge, it's hard to justify taking an entire class if all the material I need is buried in one or two talks.

I'm building a search engine for lectures (https://www.findlectures) and avoided this problem by focusing on standalone lectures (e.g. conference talks). Their way seems much better, for cases where you need to understand all the pieces of a big problem. Also, kudos for curating data by hand :)
I work in adtech. The reason this happens is because of poor dev knowledge/resources by most publishers (although shouldn't be a problem with LA Times) and because the ad industry has perverse incentives combined with absolutely no oversight or enforcement.

99% of these companies are in business by running as many impressions/clicks/whatever "engagements" as possible regardless of user experience so we end up with this tragedy of the commons.

Yes. It's when the type is NonZero.
I opened a random article, it caps out at 19mb after the first 5 minutes (reached 12mb in 30 seconds).
This is starting to be a big problem for me. The time I lose figuring out if a seller is listing counterfeit products or not(not always possible), is costing me too much. I don't think Amazon Prime is worth it anymore. The risk of paying for a fake, then having to spend time returning, for every single product that I buy is just too much.
This article is from January 2016, by the way.
The same rationale could be marshaled to argue that discrimination against the disabled and older workers should be allowed. Should it?
That sounds great, but the problem I see with the n-address approach is when you do actually want to search for a received email but you don't want to remember what inbox it went to. I can see workarounds - like feed them all to a gmail box and filter them into their own folders. Or load them all into a native email client as separate accounts.

I felt that way about using a password manager and generating random passwords (what if I want to log into something and don't want to remember which password I used) but eventually realized that password managers are literally designed to make this as painless as possible and I should relax more. Now I use KeepassXC, random passwords and life is good.

Are email managers a thing, like password managers? How do you solve this problem?

This is just sick. Both the parents and children saying such hateful bullshit. I can't blame the kids though, they just mimic what their parents teach them.

If I were there, I would have told that woman "well I'm sorry, just because you're not Mexican doesn't mean you should win."

But it's a good lesson for the kids, and one to learn early. Haters gonna hate, but other than that, they are full of hot air. Otherwise they'd be busy doing something great, like I hope these kids will.
If you think you are worth more, find another job to pay more. Either use as leverage or take the other job.

For what's it's worth, I think I made like $12 in college updating crappy php college websites. It was fine, gave me some resume material. Gotta start somewhere.
SV thinks it's hot shit, but things like this clearly demonstrate how dumb it is. It matches well the stereotypical "brogrammers" in whose image it was built.

Investors feed the narrative because they need the naive (that is, the young) to pour in and accept the wages of "an apartment split with 8 other guys and some ramen".
Paul Ryan should probably try living on welfare alone for a few years before saying that.
A possible factor (but not the only one) - older workers are more expensive to hire due to higher salary expectations and higher health costs. That would make them unappealing to a whole swath of companies - the ones with limited hiring budgets, the ones with simple enough job requirements that a new-ish grad can do them for cheap etc etc.

It would be interesting to see the data pertaining to salary+health costs based on age.

What makes you think someone with no real experience and half a degree is underpaid at $15? He may be overpaid.
No, but they don't give me grief about using an ad blocker..
Yes, I agree with this. And still it doesn't work for all parent/child combinations. We know a few folks who home schooled for a few years but then the kids went back to public school. Sometimes the parent and child didn't have good chemistry. Or one kid wanted to run track and there weren't good opportunities outside school. Or the parent dedided they weren't suited for it.

We've been lucky. We don't need two incomes. My wife as it turns out is a good teacher and she enjoys it. Our kids are good students and enjoy home schooling. We live in a community with tons of educational resources available outside the home.

Wait, WHAT? The average Amazon warehouse worker makes $13/hr. That's ~$27,000/yr BEFORE taxes. In other words: any employee making that salary and actually trying to raise a family is collecting more from the government than they're paying in. They aren't contributing anything to the local economy, they're draining it just like Walmart.
I sympathize deeply with this sentiment.

Parent to your comment is arguing that other law firms should be able to see that highly qualified talent is being undervalued, and those firms would then come in to get that talent to be at an advantage.

I don't necessarily agree, but note this Malcolm Gladwell argues in Outliers that this is exactly what happened to Jewish lawyers in NY in the mid 20th century. White shoe firms wouldn't hire the Jewish lawyers, so they started their own firms and focused on "distained" but ultimately highly lucrative areas of law.
Does anyone know if you have a paid subscription does the LA Times still insist on sending you 14 gigs of ad data?
It's obviously nonsense but the point is that such an idea is far from dead.
Don't bang pots in an echo chamber
But how many users would actually be willing to pay for the content they consume in order to get rid of ads and tracking and excessive data volume consumption? And how much would they be willing to pay? It seems like they would have to be willing to pay at least an amount comparable to the average ad revenue per user and page view, whatever that actually is.

Just blocking ads is certainly justifiable in the current situation, but it also certainly not sustainable if the ad blocker installation base keeps growing. And buying subscriptions for all sites is not really an option either. It becomes quite expensive pretty quickly, especially if you want the see only a few articles per month on each site but do so on many sites.

I understood that but I think it is not that likely. What the article describes is that these kids get shunted into less lucrative areas of practice instead.

Also I'm pretty suspicious of Gladwell. He spins a good yarn but his work is less than rigorous.
Yep. That is where it was.
I got mono last year, and was out for longer than some of my female coworkers who had a child were. Same observation for one of my coworker who got in a snowboarding accident. I've also had several male coworkers leave because they wanted to devote themselves fully to their family.

This kind of observation ("high status women are more likely to leave for family reasons therefore it is an economically rational choice to prefer men, given equal skills") seems logical on the surface, but when you start looking into the nuances of real life it just doesn't hold.

I once had a CEO say directly to me: "honestly if one of my female employees got pregnant, i would take it personally. We're a startup, we can't afford people who do that". He had no problem pushing several great engineers to burnout and firing them when their productivity tanked though.

Amazon does not allow one to create a permanent link to a specific seller. You can only link to the ASIN, which will determines the seller to display on-demand.

Unless the product category or brand is "gated" (and to be fair, many are), meaning it requires pre-approval to list on Amazon, anyone can hitch onto any ASIN by telling Amazon they have that product in stock (if FBA, by sending in "that product").

The language itself also has some serious race conditions that are impossible to debug unless you're on really slow/embedded hardware. For example, I used the Dillo web browser (which is FLTK-based) for a couple years when I was stuck on an 800MHz PC, and when the system was swapping heavily, doing things like opening the (FLTK-generated) file-save dialog or dragging a window scrollbar (IIRC) would lock the mouse - FLTK uses X11 cursor locks to constrain the cursor in some situations, and due to the system's heavy I/O load, FLTK wasn't releasing the locks, and I had to kill the entire browser.
I've been to Singapore once and find it to be a beautiful city/state. That being said, as an American, I do find some of the policies a bit disconcerting as it reminds me of one of my favorite dystopian books, 1984.

* People love to talk about how bad Duerte is in the Philippines (he is), but in Singapore, 18oz of marijuana gets you a mandatory death penalty: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misuse_of_Drugs_Act_(Singapore...

* Singapore is a 1 party system that has been controlled by the same family (the lee family) since what, the 1920s? It isn't a democracy when there is one party, it is a monarchy, just call a spade a spade. It seems to work for them, but they're simply fooling themselves calling it that.

* You can not legally import chewing gum into Singapore and there is a $700 fine if you happen to spit it on the street: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chewing_gum_ban_in_Singapore

* They very much censor media / free speech. If they didn't, this article wouldn't be news.

* Littering or any petty theft can result in a caning, which depending on the severity, is split up over two days. This is to keep the punished from bleeding to death (seriously).

* Only the government elite can afford to drive vehicles. This is due to the taxes and registrations for even a 20 year old car being around 100,000 local currency. They force the public to use transit.

* They require iris scans of every citizen and permanent resident (as of Jan 2016)

on and on. Sure it is great and there is no crime and the economy looks great, but it bothers me the lack of freedom to innovate, to do something different, to be wrong. I can't quite place it, but never felt comfortable there even if I'm safer in Singapore than I am here in Chicago where I currently type from.

I'm a little wary of this kind of argument. Let's just accept the OP's premise for a second. If he's right that upper class women really are more likely to leave the workforce, would it make the discrimination acceptable? Personally I don't feel it would.
Interesting. If there is a workable org-mode replacement that gets org-agenda I would consider switching away from Emacs to Vim or Neovim. I'm sick of using such slow and crash prone software. (Emacs is much better on Linux. I would love to use Linux as my daily driver but it's just not an option.) Since I've switched to Spacemacs it wouldn't be hard to port my small tweaks to recreate my personal preferences. But I really can't give up org-mode!
I imagine that if I knew your name and email address, i would have enough information to find the year you were born on the internet. Not having an online presence is a red flag, unfortunately.
That's a radically different idea. That chatbot isn't AI. It's probably barely using NLP. Users are basically just filling out a form.

Understanding and countering legal arguments is a vastly different problem. Current technology is just not even close.
Sellers can opt-out of commingling, but many don't because a) they don't understand the implications, as Amazon doesn't really make it clear; and b) because it requires them to individually add a separate sticker/identifier to each unit of their product, adding significantly to preparation and packaging costs.
Yes. To phrase it differently, if we have trained a perfectly rational AI, it may make the same (biased) decisions against women based on past statistics (percentage of women leaving full-time jobs) and assumption in reasoning (family responsibility affecting career performance) as you described.

To change the decision would require changing either the statistics or the assumption in reasoning.
You can configure your MDA to deliver mail for all these different addresses to the same inbox. What I did for a while was have 2 inboxes: personal mail and commercial. All the tagged emails went to the Commercial inbox. Either way my mail client (Mail.app) can easily search accross Inboxes and/or present unified views if I actually want everything together.
Sure, but normalisation can nonetheless happen automatically and implicitly in many places.
In my experience, StackOverflow rarely to ever comes up when I am looking for solutions to Ruby issues, while I often visit it for other things.

That might very well be a better explanation for why it doesn't appear high on the list for Stackoverflow. I'm not saying it's wrong. I'm saying there's no reason to assume StackOverflow's audience is unbiased and representative. It doesn't rate on my top 10 list of places to go looking for solutions to Ruby issues.

> and since there's clearly already an exodus out of Ruby and into other technologies like TypeScript and Python

I haven't seen anything of that supposed exodus. The few Rubyists I know that have stopped using Ruby have moved on to things like Elixir, not TypeScript or Python. I find that an extremely odd claim to make.

TypeScript to me is a total non-entity - I don't know anyone doing TypeScript anywhere. Not saying it's not popular, just that wherever it is popular is entirly outside of the sphere I work in. Python I come across, but again as a demonstration of how little our personal anecdotes mean: I see far more people starting Ruby projects than Python projects, and most of the places I come across Python, it is grudingly when working with third party code. At the same time I'm fully aware that there are niches where Python is far better represented than Ruby, but they don't often intersect with what I do outside of machine learning projects.
I never claimed to have zero experience :)
Thanks for the pointer. I do have seen that before. But I think it's not difficult to see the difference. First of all, they are maintained by different people with a distinct goal. SpaceVim is aiming to serve a counterpart to spacemacs, which more suitable for pure vimmers, I guess. However, space-vim is intended for switching between spacemacs and vim painlessly. I'm both a vimmer and spacemacs user, and I really like the interface and philosophy from spacemacs.
Defining Intelligence a Conversation with Stuart Russell [2.7.17]
I think you are right, but I did not reply because HN blocks constant replies to posts for new account. I do acknowledge very privileged to be in this position, and I am actually fine with the pay for now. The reason why I asked this question was because someone told me I was being exploited for my labour, I soon realized that it seems like I was. I wanted to see if I could do anything about it seeing how there will be a point where a student who actually needs a job like this would become overworked by the weird requirements of the build.
Hey guys, this guy has Secret Clearance!
Just so you know, sometimes when women leave for "family reasons", it is because they are sick of putting up with the bullshit of discrimination while trying to balance a career with raising a family. This problem is more of a self fulfilling prophecy than chicken-and-egg.
It's about name recognition, not job count. Amazon is seen as a cutting edge, high-tech employer. It looks goods when politicians say "Welcoming $COOL_COMPANY_X into our area!", it helps people feel important. It doesn't really matter whether they're bring 50 jobs or 5000; what matters is people can say "Yeah, Amazon is just up the street".
Sure, I get your objection from an epistemological perspective; I don't disagree. The thing is that then you wouldn't be comparing "upper class women" vs the rest of the workforce. You should be comparing upper class women in their 30s vs upper class women in their 50s vs men who smoke vs single men in their 20s vs ...

In that case you might find that upper class women in their 30s are indeed more likely to leave the workforce than single men in their 20s, but less likely than men in their 50s. At that point, the "economically rational" argument becomes to only hire single men in their 20s, which I guess is what Silicon Valley does.
Do you have a source for "massive R&D spending which could be halted"? I was under the impression their losses come from massive operating/marketing expenses, which cannot be cut without harming the business.
It's ironic, I got burnt a few times with ebay in it's really early days in the UK and swore off them and then Amazon got popular and I was a happy customer for years but recently I've been buying bits from ebay (I prefer Buy it Now, I don't want to maybe win, I'm happy to potentially pay more to know that it's on it's way) and it's improved leaps and bounds since I used it a lot.

If Amazon keeps down this track it's going to kill the golden goose for eking out that extra tiny bit.
