The deployment of the Internet and the deployment of deep learning systems are quite different issues.

The Internet faced the problem of harnessing the power of computer networks required a critical mass and that none of the "ideal" conceptions could achieve this (especially since "ideals" usually didn't understand the full potential of the system). Here "worse is better" made sense.

Neural Nets and related systems are deployed by large companies with lots of data and used to provide guidance and decision making (where network effect isn't a big factor either way).

With "guidance" - product recommendations or optional translations, the dangers seem relatively small. With decision making systems, the dangers seems considerable and not totally thought through - you have everything from people falsely flagged by face-recognition software to neural networks that derive racist loan policies to the spoofing potential that management recommendation engines might offer.

Could you spoof a stock decision system by making a series of stock trades that has previous preceded a big move? I don't know but I assume someone is thinking of ways to use neural spoofing to get something from someone as we speak.
That seems like a reasonable division into three strata. You could divide it into a lot more than three. Each movement upward leaves one set of problems behind and may introduce new things that would not have been realistic considerations before.

I'm 'average' in your classification, as are most people I see on any regular basis. What you've called 'poor' would describe the time I was unemployed or my college days but is now a fair ways away. What you've called 'rich' seems impossibly out of reach barring some unlikely windfall.

Within 'average' though, there are upward movements that would be nice. I've paid off all loans except my mortgage. It would feel pretty great to pay off the mortgage and not owe anybody any money.

I live in a moderately expensive city. It would be great to feel like I could just move somewhere more expensive like New York City or San Francisco if I wanted to, own a home, and take advantage of the opportunities there.

It would be interesting to see a description of many strata from someone who has researched this, and see what problems are solved and what people's main concerns are at each one.
If you think Lyft is the same thing for 1/10th the price, then you're blinded by your distaste for Uber. Uber is global in scope. Uber is well ahead of Lyft in terms of getting control of their losses (IIRC from leaked financials from both companies, Lyft is losing money at more than twice the rate as Uber and Uber is closing the profitability gap faster). Uber serves many more markets such as food delivery and freight, so there are more growth opportunities. Uber is doing a ton of R&D in the self driving car space and has a lot of the talent in the market. Lyft is basically just copying Uber's lead. Once you get past the few vocal outrage culture people, lots of people like Uber too.

Basically Lyft is a plaything that only looks the same as Uber if you only consider the US market and picking up and moving people. Even then, it's a distant number two.

Will they buy:
a) a bank
b) a car company
c) healthcare provider/insurance company

:)
Here are the current market caps of the big car companies. Of course to buy them you'd likely have to pay a premium on the market cap, but it gives you a ballpark:

Toyota Motor Corp 174.2B

Daimler AG 75.8B

Volkswagen AG 71.9B

Honda Motor Co Ltd 52.0B

General Motors Company 50.0B

Tesla Inc 49.5B

Ford Motor Company 44.2B

Nissan Motor Co Ltd 39.3B

Tata Motors Limited 22.5B

Ferrari NV 13.3B

Harley-Davidson Inc 10.5B

The closest thing I can think of would be the subset of C++ used in Stepanov + McJones' Elements of Programming, with the addition C++11 stuff like lambdas and std::function, plus (hopefully) C++20 stuff like compile-time reflection, concepts and ranges.
"Cook" is a very broad set of jobs. For the basic "chef's assistant" job then grade school and on the job training is probably fine. You wouldn't be surprised if a high-school student got a job like that.
Well, UB is, by definition, non-portable code. Nobody who knows C should be surprised that a different compiler produces different results on such code. Or even the same compiler, targeting a different architecture. Or even the same compiler, targeting the same architecture, with different flags.

Mozilla gives the Rust devs an annual budget for hiring contractors, and indeed these often end up going to well-known community members who are tackling major initiatives. I don't know if camlorn is one of these people (he's well-known, certainly), but quoting aturon from https://www.reddit.com/r/rust/comments/64t251/mozilla_awards... :

"the Mozilla Rust team awards contracts, grants and internships more directly. We haven't tended to make a lot of fanfare around these in the past, but the general strategy has been to support people who have been doing amazing volunteer work so that they can do that work full time for a stretch. That's covered work from eddyb on the compiler, Integer 32 on crates.io and Rust training, dtolnay on Serde and other library work, jseyfried on the new macro system, carllerche on mio and Tokio, and withoutboats on a variety of topics -- and that's all this year! Beyond that, we have academic grants for research into Rust for HPC (really large-scale servers/clusters), and foundational work around the unsafe guidelines/formal semantics for Rust."

"In general we have a preference toward supporting people who are already doing great work in the ecosystem, rather than continually expanding the internal Mozilla team. We want Rust to grow and find support far beyond Mozilla, and this is one way of nudging things in that direction, while bolstering the ecosystem at the same time."

"While we've awarded almost all of our contracting money for this year, please feel free to reach out to me at aturon@mozilla.com if you have interest in small (~3 months) contract work to help push a piece of the Rust ecosystem (or tooling, or docs, or ...) over the finish line."
UC Berkeley seems to handle this process just fine.
That is what we like to call the background noise of the internet. Scanners are always scanning. Try this as an experiment sometime: make a brand new instance on your favorite cloud provider, and just run tcpdump on it for a few hours. You'll see all kinds of cool things: from people scanning for HTTP, Telnet, people scanning for SSH servers with weak passwords, router exploits with shellcode embedded in a UDP packet, back-scatter from DDoS attacks, cool stuff. Honestly looking at each packet and trying to figure out what's going on is a pretty great way to learn.
It's also worth noting what an important role the SA file sharing forums had on on SA and the file-sharing scene. Many of today's private file-sharing communities are direct descendants of what began as "No Mp3s" and "Don't Post Porn Here". It was terrible for the SA community, but I'm sure all the bans for "where the filez @" posts were quite good at mitigating server expenses.

Well, right or wrong, it's probably ill-advised to play fast and loose with what's university money vs your private money while turning down a follow-on investment from the university.

What could America possibly ever need dollars for? They can print them at will..

(And yes, individuals might want to work for dollars. But the American domestic economy as a whole only needs to accepts dollars in order to make other people accept them in return for their useful goods and services.)

Also, a strong dollar is useful for all consumers---not just rich people.. (The limits to dollar strength are not in export, but in making monetary policy too tight for the domestic economy.)
Does this count as a make hack? I have (or had, can't seem to find it right now) a script to generate a makefile from a list of URLs of files to be downloaded. In this case, it was for when I needed to download hundreds or thousands of files. The makefile just called curl to do the downloading. But the beauty of using make was that I could easily control the download concurrency with -j, and of course that it would skip already downloaded files. I think I may have even made it properly resume partial downloads by checking for the temporary target file and using its size to send the right range request.

Anyway, it's been a few years, but I thought it was pretty clever at the time.
Here's a list of things Elixir things I love:

- pattern matching

- immutable data

- built-in supervision tree

- async message passing w/ mailboxes

- networking modules

- much of Elixir is written in Elixir

Here's stuff I'd like to see in the standard library (which may come over time anyway):

- Better time/calendar options (I still like using Timex)

- Rational numbers

- Ruby's BigDecimal in Elixir

- Dialyzer for Elixir

- No need to mess w/ Erlang data types (looking at you
charlists)

- Better semantics for process registry

- Documentation on parallel testing options
In this case, the whole word is rendered via punycode. Are you saying that should be allowed, or prohibited?

It's gonna be a long time before we can automate the trades.

Pretty much everything they do is non-repetitive except at the lowest level.
No other sane country I know of does that. Must countries have mutual agreements, where income is only taxed in the country where the money is earned (certain rules apply of course). Only the US as I am aware, has these pretty nonscense rules of double taxation.
That was true (least in the UK) around the micro days and I still have a few stored away. C64,BBC Micro, ZX81 programs on flexidisc. Used to have to play them into the casste input port and worked great, though was often easier to record them onto tape and load from there.

Was a fad for a while, to include a flexi cover disc upon computer magazines and sure beat the endless typing in pages of code to then go back and fix the mistakes and many mistakes that you would end up finding as errors and a correction in the next issue. Fun times and learned lots.

EDIT add- this is one of those disc's from that time https://www.discogs.com/No-Artist-ZX-81-VIC-20-Spectrum-Game...
From just a purely economic point of view, creating/expanding an empire required resources (investment), while having it brought you resources (returns). Improving workers' conditions also required investments, hence the dichotomy (or, more precisely, trade-off) I see.
Oh my, a scribbled diagram of Coltrane as an application of Tymoczko. That would be a nice motivation to study him. Sweet video, I think in the end they show the moebius strip obtained by glueing opposite points, opposite meaning the two points pinned by a needle perpendicular to the donut.

Have you ever used parser combinators? They're the absolute best way of parsing anything that I've ever tried. Parsing anything in Python definitely is much worse.

Also, I'd like second the other posters suggestion that most Lisps have many ways of writing imperative code and that it really is no different than your average C-like in that respect.
As someone coming from the US, my strategy was:

1) Put some effort into a side project, in my case a SaltStack tutorial that I'd wanted to do for a while.

2) Go to a conference (PyCaribbean) and meet people.

3) Reach out to recruiters in the cities I was targeting.

4) Reach out to recruiters who had emailed me in the past 2 years and to ask if they had any contacts in Europe.

#2 and #3 seem to have been the most valuable. If you want to move to Ireland, Michael Diver is communicative, ethical, and responsive.

Also, some logistical tips:

- Use https://calendly.com/ to schedule phone interviews across timezones without off-by-one errors or a lot of back-and-forth.

- When interviewing over skype, have a phone line or page on https://appear.in/ room at the ready.

- If you decide to stay in a hostel rather than hotel or airbnb, it is worth asking what type of mattress they have. http://rainymood.com/ and an external battery charger are a necessity if you want to do this.

I'd be happy to help more if you give me a bit more detail on what type of company you're interested in working for. If you're open to living in London, I really like the place I'm working and would be happy to introduce you. Our interview process looks a bit like https://gocardless.com/blog/redesigning-the-devops-interview...

On the other hand the Link I submitted wouldn't have shown the desired result without the query string.

You probably want to allow repeats of domains, Like map links to something interesting.
Yes, it does, but I think there is almost no way around that. Many sites still use query parameters to show a specific blog entry for example... :/
I had a couple of friends who had ZX81's and CB radios and they managed to transfer a program using the radio succesfully back then. Was not long after that CB radio fad kicked in and the ability to find a unused channel for along enough period ended for them. But they did it and it worked, least for the ZX81 audio storage format used upon tapes. iirc it was stored on tape at 300 baud, so the bandwidth was low requirement.
Complete automation sure. Tools and techniques that remove a lot of direct labor? Those have already had a big impact on trades.
I like Ruby for one off scripts, too. In some cases though, I don't like having to install Ruby. If Elixir, or perhaps Erlang, is on the target box, an Elixir Escript is also a good option. I've picked up a fair bit of bash for easier tasks, too.
Hello, Hacker News users! It's my first Android app and first experience of Android development :-).
SentiNews is based on sentiment analysis which helps to classify news as positive or negative. What do you think about general concept of the app? Will be waiting for your feedback.
Your "seed corn" argument is not obvious to me, especially since we are talking about corporate taxes. Care to elaborate?

I think one of the unintended effects of the loose monetary policy at home and abroad is the extreme rise in home prices in all major cities. I think most of this was not intended by the policy makers. But investor dollars follow safety and returns - real estate has been an amazing investment since 2008 (look at major cities like Toronto, Vancouver, SF, etc.). We're talking about doubling you capital in less than 10 years. This is not stopping ... I don't think it will until rates go much higher.
Python Image Vision library/framework
Which image vision library/framework do you think is best for the python programming language for object recognition(i.e recognizing people's body). Thinking of using opencv, is it good enough?.
I don't know about corporations having all this wrapped up.
There is a lot of pressure on them since 2008 plus one leak after another - Lichtenstein, Luxembourg, Panama, Switzerland etc hasn't made it easy to be tax haven. If they had "won the war" we wouldn't be discussing it here.
Yeah, everyone but Laskar (even other profs in the article) pretty much agree that he stole $50k. See the quotes from peers saying that eg this was an overreaction, or that their university would have handled it internally, but that all agrees with the facts. Laskar stole $50k. Maybe other places slap people on the hands for doing that, but that doesn't make this prosecution wrong.

The fact remains, Laskar stole the $50k. And as for prosecutorial misconduct, if you discover someone stole $50k, it's nothing like misconduct to go see what else he or she may have stolen.
Isn't Apple Ireland owned by the US company?
Just did this, and got redirected to this post. Clever.
Curious to know which algorithm and the sourcing of corpus you chose to train your system on.

On a similar note, here a curation of great sentiment analysis methods and implementations: https://github.com/xiamx/awesome-sentiment-analysis
No it's not effectively lower, it's higher. Apple has to pay roughly 40% because it's headquartered in CA, which has a 8.9% rate. That's the rate it must pay if it repatriates overseas profits, there is little it can do to change that. other than not repatriate.

The myth of Apple's low tax rate goes something like this. Let's say Apple makes $10B in profits. $5B are profits of Apple US, and $5B are profits of it's international subsidiaries. Apple pays about $450M in state income taxes on the $5B and about $1.6B in federal income taxes on the remainder (35% of the $5B minus state taxes).

It also pays income taxes in every country it has a subsidiary in on the foreign $5B (let's estimate income taxes average out to 20%, or $1B), and ships the remaining $4B to Ireland for storage until such time as US tax rates aren't so onerous.

Now someone looks at Apples financials and sees it paid "only" $1.6B in federal income taxes, even though it made $10B! OMG, they shout, Apple is only paying 16%, no one is paying 35%, our tax system is a LIE!

But in this example, Apple paid over $3B in total income taxes, or 30%. And if it repatriates the $4B, it will pay another $1.6B in state and federal income taxes for a total tax rate nearing 50%.

And this doesn't count all the other taxes Apple pays, from property taxes, sales taxes, VAT, import tariffs, etc, around the globe.

The "double dutch" strategy revolved around how much value you assigned to your IP and moving that IP to tax favorable countries. It's no longer legal or used. What costs and profits Apple assigns to subsidiaries is subject to judgement and audit. But mostly it's just a smokescreen to ignore how terrible our corporate income tax system is and it's rates are among the highest in the world.

Apple pays a ton of taxes. We'd be better off not taxing corporate income, so one can argue it pays too much.
I think that it's reasonable to feel conflicted. The internet is interesting and addictive, especially the social corners. Other commenters have pointed out that SA, HN, FB, etc are potent time sinks--it's all too easy to spend more time than you should. Of course, whether a site is a good use of time isn't an all-or-nothing proposition. It can be productive to skim the news for 10 minutes a day.

It's a good habit to periodically reflect: would I be happier spending more time there, or would I be happier spending more time [working on that side project, with my family, watching a movie, hiking, etc]. Most highly effective people 'waste' their time too, just that they're aware of the decisions they make, and strike a good balance. It's important not to let play get in the way of work, but work isn't the only thing worth living for.

That's not entirely accurate. An Elixir release compiled for the target platform can be bundled up in a tarball with everything it needs to run, including the runtime. No Elixir install required. I do agree that pushing around a single binary in general is easier, all other things being equal.
For a valid reason?
>When I look at SA today it just seems juvenile and try-hard. Really, painfully unfunny.

this is how trends work. the originators are truly creative and interesting, but over time the paths they forge spread across populations, and inspire increasingly poorly executed knock-offs. eventually it becomes embarrassing for earlier adopters.

Also the corporation has to pay taxes on it's income, then you have to pay taxes on that same income if it's paid to you.

You actually have it better than the corporation!
Id say ping floods were first, although I had good results cating executables thru the modem and getting interesting crashes. I guess that is more like ghetto fuzzing.

German, French and Slovenian are "official" languages in the sense that there are areas where these languages are used by local governments together with Italian. Eg in the Bolzano/Bozen province you can deal with most institutions in German.
I was at DEFCON and the most interesting thing I saw there was that not only can you confuse deep learning networks but your adversarial examples have a high chance of transferring to other ML techniques. See https://raw.githubusercontent.com/cchio/deep-pwning/master/d...

Asking a genuine question is not reason for downvote.
The cash pile is a tool to influence US government policy. The IRS would like a slice of that cake, and as long as they keep it out of reach, it's a tasty carrot cake.
Which arms out of curiosity?
Yup. I wouldn't be surprised if all these people being especially critical are vocally supportive of Lyft, despite the fact that leaked financials show that Lyft is losing money more than twice as fast as Uber.

If investor money stopped flowing tomorrow and all companies were forced to be cash flow positive to remain solvent, we'll quickly see which emperors have no clothes. These unit economics will continue for every player in this market as long as investors feel it is worth fighting for. Those with better margins will survive and will suffer the least amount of dilution in the process.

When the dust settles Uber is going to be the only company that ever ends up making any money in this market.
I'm sick of the PC brigade appointing themselves as the culture police, and the idea that just because you are a man you have an easy ride in film is utter crap. Some of my favourite male directors were outsiders and had to fight to get their films made at the start, only experiencing success through dogged persistence. And Geena Davis didn't exactly advance the cause with Cutthroat Island: 'one of the most expensive box office flops of all time.'.

So much film and TV these days stinks of being made with an agenda. No worries though: I'll simply stop watching, and choose to consume culture that doesn't put political correctness above all other considerations.
Yep. In almost any other alternate universe, we ended up with an oligarchy of private digital information services, each acting as gatekeepers to its own exclusive internet. It's hard to fathom the innovation that would have been prevented by the much higher barriers to entry in such a world, and just how much intellectually richer we are from Taylor's radical vision winning out.
