I don't understand the point you're trying to make.

Adverse life experiences related to being transgender is exactly what we man when we say "being transgender inceases a person's risk of death by suicide".

There's no judgement of trans people in that comment - indeed, the point is to make society more accepting of trans people.
Im sure we all only got ourselves to blame for our victim shame. After all, we could have just stayed away from those computers - or installed Linux, which is ridiculous expensive if you price your own time in at minimum wage.

Can you please post a single tweet where Milo incited people to harass Leslie Jones?

If, instead, you believe mocking and criticizing someone is inciting people to harass, do you think all popular accounts that mock and criticize others should be removed from twitter"?

These algorithms usually are not black boxes with respect to their mathematical content. And the code is usually open source, so you are free to audit them for your arrogant self.

The term "black box" is used to refer to the fact that it's not always clear how to interpret a model like a deep neural network. It's a statistical issue, not a software issue.

I think RDP can do that, too. At least on Windows there is something called RemoteApp (or something like that) that does just that. (I have never used it, though!)
Well, I try to for most applications, but I'm actually moving my wife's laptop back to windows. Linux was fine for most things, but when something breaks or doesn't work, I have to fix it - and I don't have the time. Getting hardware like Bluetooth or external touchscreens to work is an absolute nightmare with the state of driver support.
Unless you plan to use Steam, which still has no real support for those drivers. You can find guides to modify the LD_PRELOAD to get some stuff working though.

And for the rest of the world? I always wanted such a kind of service, can't wait to use it.
There's always space.

There have been countless attempts by new platforms to take over Facebook, Twitter, etc, but they always fail because 90% of users are so glued to what they already know. They don't want to join a network that all their contacts aren't already on. Additionally, a good portion of said users also don't mind ads or privacy invasion, so those aspects of new platforms only ever seem to appeal to users who know a thing or two about infosec.

For what it's worth, I'm no longer a Twitter user, but when I was I'd go through my activity each month or so and delete the majority of my tweets, retweets, and likes. Sure, they're still stored server-side, but it just reminds me how much I wish a platform could exist with little to no retention, like you said. Maybe a (transparent) purging of data regularly? Way too much to ask for, but it's a novel thought.
The actually TeX binary is actually quite small - it is little more than a macro processor. The other packages could actually be loaded on demand and kept in a local cache.
I see. The rebasing you mention is part the implied workflow I was missing. I see it now. Yes - if the rule is that merge commits to master are not permitted (ie. all commits must be rebased onto master first), then of course one person cannot rebase someone else's signed commits without losing those signatures. Thanks.

Theoretically one could devise a tool which allows each contributor to re-sign (in the correct order), but I'm not aware that any such thing exists, and it'd probably be too impractical anyway.
Well since you were asking about this topic, I guess what I was trying to get at is what is it that you particularly were hoping to see from the community?

I'm no completely certain, but I'm pretty sure I could sell 7-8 billion worth of services for 5 billion as well. Just because they are taking in such a high number as their revenue doesn't mean anything if it's because they are heavily subsiding their service

See previous story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5083361
The "Official list of phoned-home info revealed by Microsoft" is the subheading from the article, and offers a neutral tone compared to the biased headline of "The sheer amount of data Windows 10 Creators Update will slurp from your PC".

While general consensus will likely be that that it is too much data collection, it's more ethical - from a journalism standpoint - to allow each reader to decide that for themselves based on the facts. I find it odd that The Register used a biased headline, while delegating the unbiased phrase to the role of a subheading. I suspect the neutral subheading was provided by the author of the article, while the headline was manufactured by someone whose job it is to drive traffic/views.

If you click on the Deedy Resume, you can see the initial template, but this was designed to use Overleaf for real time rendering so you could see it as you filled it out, which was never implemented.

This is from mine in the UK, but I'd guess the non "at will" states would be similar?

"You will normally be required to work a five-day week of 41 hours gross, Monday to Friday, including meal breaks."

"The annual leave entitlement for full time staff is as follows: on appointment: 30 days ... You are encouraged to take the full annual leave allowance to which you are entitled."

"You may be allowed sick absence on full pay, less any social security benefit received for up to six months in any 12 months and after that, on half pay, up to a maximum of 12 months sick absence in any period of 4 years or less."

"Should you wish to leave the organisation you will be expected to give 4 weeks notice in writing to your line manager."

"Travel, Subsistence and Other Expense: If you are required to be absent from your normal place of work on the business of [company], travelling expenses and subsistence allowances will be paid in accordance with the regulations set out in Travel Manual."

The contract is 7 pages long, but with big line spacing and only 1 or 2 sentences in each clause. It covers salary, benefits (leave, sick pay etc), notice periods, the pension scheme, expected conduct, the complaints procedure, and lists the trade unions that had representation (it's from a public sector organisation).

In comparison, the Uber one is 16 pages of dense text with lots of legal terms and a glossary.

How does one become a publicly owned/traded enterprise without an initial offering of one's shares to the public?
"Moral integrity" doesn't really have anything to apply to to the day-to-day work of an engineer. A moral compass can't work without a magnetic field of context.

Considering most engineers' main concern is just to meet a spec and get it shipped, I don't really see how the burden of ethical justification falls to them, when they don't even necessarily know how it'll be used. Can't really see how they could act as moral gatekeepers in a corporate structure.

Yes they did. Sure, it was one vote out of three hundred million, but so was every one else's.

Thanks for the input. This reflects what my problem is as a beginner with all this stuff: Where do I actually put everything? There's no universal answer of course, but this is why I (and certainly many others) feel intimidated by the JS ecosystem as a whole.
Remember this only generates the LaTeX source. Overleaf does the heavy lifting for rendering.
> They're one config error away from sending classified data to Microsoft.

No they aren't, because classified data is only handled on isolated networks.
> p.s., why do people like you want to hate on ride sharing services so much? Is it just that nothing can ever be good enough in your mind?

What a strange way to respond to valid criticism. Flip this: why do people like you refuse to see these issues? No one is saying that the Uber experience, app, upfront pricing, etc. is the issue. I think everyone is positive to those innovations in the market.
> It is way easier to commit attacks using chemical weapons or anthrax or conventional bombs, or to set off a dirty bomb with imported radioactive material than to breach a western European nuclear plant.

Unless you happen to be one of the recent terrorists who committed attacks in Europe, and be employed in a nuclear powerplant.

Then things can quickly go wrong.
Hands-On Machine Learning with Scikit-Learn and TensorFlow
Milo wasn't harassing anybody, except by the broadest and most over-sensitive possible interpretation of the already diluted word 'harassment'. Milo himself never did anything to anybody other than toss out singular, one-off quips about people. But people like to hold those with many followers responsible for what their followers say. While it's emotionally tempting to do so, it's also stupid, unworkable, and ultimately always serves as the go-to excuse to ban someone with the wrong views.

Template languages create strings. JSX creates hyperscript.

JSX by its nature statically checks for tag balance, etc. The non-JavaScript part of its syntax has actual semantics. In a template language the non-Turing-complete part of the syntax is just strings.

JSX is a perfectly good notation for describing how data maps to its presentation in a DOM tree.

If you are one of these engineers that just meets a spec and ships it without a moral compass, then I sincerely hope I never work with you.
There's really no excuse for any of the HN crowd to be running this garbage

I wish this were true, but it just isn't, sorry. In reality there are excuses. E.g. we have both old and new hardware lying around which can only be programmed/debugged by Windows. There is no alternative except for maybe spending tons of man-hours trying to reverse engineer the shit out of it and come up with something vastly inferior (but, yay, runs on linux). Or again spending tons of time 'correcting' the original choice of these devices and entire eco-system built around it over the years and switch to something which does have linux support. So: no alternative. Less prominent alternative-wise but still going strong: Visual Studio. And also the pretty-much-everything-just-works principle. Now this doen't really make me love Windows, but does illustrate there are reasons for the HN crowd using it. (next to linux in my case).
Really great work, gives me some ideas. Thank you.
> rarely are they doing it for personal aggrandizement or to fulfill some philosophical mission.

Sometimes. Spending hours tweaking a CoC or changing pronouns in documentation is not solving any problems and results in unnecessary back-and-forth, flame wars, HN posts, etc.
> in voluntary efforts ... people just decide it's not worth the frustration and walk away

You make it sounds like it's a bad thing. Being able to focus your energies on healthy communities in a feature.

> employment [...] smooths over most disagreements at work

No. It just hides them. Backstabbing is popular, so it is disenchantment and cynicism. People biases turn into harsh peer performance feedback, refusal to hire and poor cooperation. Sociopaths get promoted.
Normally, the company creates a number of new shares when the company goes public, offers the new shares to the public and uses the income to... well, to do something. Existing shareholders typically promise not to sell their shares for six months or so.

But it's perfectly possible to have some existing shareholders offer a few shares for sale instead of emitting new shares. Unconventional, and I'm sure some people disapprove of it for that reason, but perhaps the company doesn't need the cash and the existing shareholders don't want the dilution?
> Read wikipedia for a mostly objective account https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/IRS_targeting_controversy

Over the two years between April 2010 and April 2012, the IRS essentially placed on hold the processing of applications for 501(c)(4) tax-exemption status received from organizations with "Tea Party", "patriots", or "9/12" in their names.

...

While [Inspector General J. Russell George] had many sources confirming the use of "Tea Party" and related criteria described in the report, including employee interviews and e-mails, he found no indication in any of those other materials that "Progressives" was a term used to refer cases for scrutiny for political campaign intervention.[86] The letter further stated that out of the 20 groups applying for tax-exempt status whose names contained "progress" or "progressive", 6 had been chosen for more scrutiny as compared to all of the 292 groups applying for tax-exempt status whose names contained "tea party", "patriot", or "9/12".[85][89][90][91]
lol, obviously that's not even remotely (get it?) accurate.

classified data should only be handled on isolated networks.
Oh sorry! I meant "you" as in "one". I didn't mean you personally! :-) Quite the contrary, and I didn't read your post as condoning anything.
How to Modularize Your Alexa Skill Code
If it is, I applaud their balls if nothing else
> Making the AI "way too fucking smart" at insane/hard difficulty and then dumbing it down seems way, way, way better than hitpoint modifiers.

In principle, sure. However, taking a "way too fucking smart" AI and dumbing it down believably isn't necessarily that much easier than going the other way, taking a dumb AI and smarting it up.

Problem is you can't just slap a "dumbassness" dial onto a smart AI in a way that appears natural.

Possibly the simplest attempt could be to take a "way too fucking smart" AI and represent the dial as a probability that the AI takes a random action instead of the way too fucking smartest move. That gives you a very nice smooth continuous dial that will correlate monotonously with difficulty level.

But if you were to play against it (by which I mean you, cause I suck at videogaming, myself), you'll probably figure out soon enough that it's a strictly artificial handicap providing the difficulty, in a very similar manner to changing the monsters' HP or speed. Also it's not a lot of fun, if close to the hardest difficulty, you just luck out and the monster performs the most stupid move, and trips itself or something.

Such a dial doesn't represent cleverness. I suppose you could attempt something a bit less artificial, like limiting the search-tree depth for the planning algorithm or something. Question becomes how granular that dial would be (search-trees aren't that deep usually) and what settings correspond to what difficulty level, you'd need to playtest this. Also the question remains to what extent this artificial limitation will appear obvious or not.
You actually get the source so you can modify it as you get your critiques. You may find moving the sections around helps when doing critiques.
> How do you get rid of such a transparently corrupt head of a federal agency?

In principle, you can not corrupt something that doesn't exist.

If the FCC would get dismantled, it wouldn't be possible to corrupt it anymore.

It's not a "pointless value judgement" to observe that someone looks filthy, and to extend that observation to "I don't want them in my clean house".

Have you ever hung out with street kids? I have, for years. Do you know Manitou Springs in Colorado? I hosted lots of down-on-their-luck street kids at my apartment for a while until I realized the majority of them absolutely suck as roommates/tenants/whatever you want to call them. Many of them will steal from you because they have nothing else. Many of them have markedly different cultural values - and not in a way that I find endearing or enlightening.

I'm sure you'll draw some parallels to racism here, because that seems to be the argument you want to occur. This isn't about a genetic condition like skin color. This is about willingly descending to the lower rungs of society. If a street kid wants to drop out of society, tattoo their face, and wear tattered army rags, that's fine. Accept the consequences of your facial tattoos though - that's part of being an adult :)
In the secure aggregation paper (linked in the post: http://eprint.iacr.org/2017/281 ) they indeed hint at the possibility of extracting information from the diffs. So the protocol they propose cryptographically ensures that the individual diffs can not be learned. They do this by having each pair of clients generate a secret the size of the diff, and have one add it to their diff and the other subtract it. The clients then send that result to the server where they are summed, which cancels out all the secrets. The bulk of the protocol then deals with setting up the secrets and dealing with client drop outs, which appears to be the real challenge.

Well, that's my fallible summary anyway, go read the paper. :-)

I'm a bit skeptical of the eHang 184, built by a Chinese company that's built toys and commercial 10-kg-drones - it has 8 props, namely 1 coaxial twin prop (presumably counter-rotating) at every corner. Does not look hugely redundant to me, plus they're conveniently located to break legs while on the ground (or heads during take-off/landing).

The Volocopter has had manned and unmanned test flights since last year, has 18 rotors in a rotor plane well above your head, can fly with 4 rotors inoperative, has a ballistic rescue chute, and apparently good initial feedback from the regulator.

(Disclaimer: I've invested 1000 EUR in the Volocopter via crowdfunding, so I might be hopelessly biased.)
If only that were true... we could have been saved so much tedious wrangling and wikileaking.
Well it's also because they try to make the car look as "normal" as possible. For example, the inclusion of a useless grill in the earlier model s. If they truly embraced the operational qualities of an electric car and rid themselves of lineages to standard vehicles, they could have designed something that's truly unique, true to the electric locomotion, and not end up with this random mix of design elements with ugly result
