Sounds like an incredible waste of time. Actually enforcing this stuff is difficult because it's a personal issue. People have different pain thresholds and challenges.

I'm always puzzled by how they allocate these resources anyway. They took away about 80 spots at the mall where our local Apple store is to make rows of handicapped spots. They are generally empty to begin with, and then you have the issue of context. If you can't walk 300 yards from the parking lot, what do you do when you need to walk a quarter mile in the mall? That probably has a lot to do with the empty spots.
Not really, in the example of df, I was filtering on the basis of size, which is not int usually but a decimal value, hence I had to provide the type hint.

Quora | ML Engineer | Mountain View
ML, Python, C++, TensorFlow, Spark, Information Retrieval

Quora’s mission is to share and grow the world’s knowledge.
We are an internet-scale Library of Alexandria, a place where people go to learn about anything and share everything they know.

At Quora, we use Machine Learning in almost every part of the product - feed ranking, answer ranking, search, topic and user recommendations, spam detection etc. Within the past few months we released a large duplicate question dataset [1], built out Quora on Alexa and Google Home [2] and linked Quora Topics to Wikidata [3].

As a Machine Learning expert, you will have a unique opportunity to have high impact by advancing these systems, as well as uncovering new opportunities to apply Machine Learning to the Quora product. As a ML Infrastructure Expert, you will play a key role in developing tools and abstractions that our other developers would build on top of.

I sometimes feel people worship billionaires like Gods so I wouldn't be surprised to see a large following.

I also believe the HN crowd sometimes gets into a bubble. There's a large part of America that thinks very differently and I have little idea how they make their decisions. If Zuckerberg has this figured out then I wouldn't be surprised to see him win.
"has" is present tense. I think you meant "had"?
If Charlie was a security researcher and SemiAccurate was a well-regarded security firm, I would not expect details or cross-references or mentions on security lists. Charlie is not a security researcher, he's a journalist, and SemiAccurate is the tech equivalent of a supermarket tabloid. He is not a credible primary source for anything security-related, particularly given SemiAccurate's reputation for publishing rumors as facts.

None of that means he's necessarily wrong, just that you should be very careful about believing his claims without supporting evidence. A lot of people here on HN have thought that a remote ME exploit was only a matter of time, so an article claiming to validate that belief will not get as much skepticism as it should.

>How does "hyper-determinism" differ from "determinism"?

It's the difference between a trajectory that looks like Brownian motion consisting of a preprogrammed constant function, versus actually being sampled from a Wiener Process.

In the former case, if you know the function, you can predict the trajectory with total certainty. In the latter case, if you use the Wiener Process as a model, you can predict the trajectory probabilistically.
Actually, it was for calling himself an engineer and presenting the results of the math for a particular application; doing the math wasn't the issue.

OTOH, this (that is, recommending the new formula for the public purpose for which it is recommended) would seem to pure protected political speech (and exercise of the right of petition) under the First Amendment: if he was commercially offering this work professional regulation could certainly apply, but making a recommendation to the public and public representatives on public policy is core First Amendment protected activity. Other than the "calling himself an engineer" part, which is perhaps outside of the protected scope of the first amendment, what this cites him for seems Constitutionally dubious.

On the third hand, since he's apparently not contesting the charges, none of that will be addressed in the context of this case.

> Maybe it's called that because your job skills will change so frequently, and your job security is so low that your collar is always "new."

Well, we need "employment security", not "job security". I mean, I like my job, but the important part is that I can be gainfully employed and support my family, not that I can keep this job until I decide to retire.

The article is fluffy, but I am generally for things that help reframe peoples' expectations about how careers work. We need employees that expect premium salaries from dead-end jobs. And we need employers who are honest with employees when jobs will be eventually phased out. I suspect shipping companies aren't pitching "we'll retrain you for the future!" when filling trucker jobs. Software shops seem to be better than most, but they're hung up on "cool technology" as if the aesthetics are more important than staying away from dead-end, high-risk tech stacks.
It's possible, but it's also possible that the owner doesn't really know if Yelp is actually guilty of anything, and they're afraid that an investigation would find that the reviews are legitimate, making the owner look bad.

- Apple appears to have taken responsibility for one, but I don't think mmap was involved: https://lists.apple.com/archives/java-dev/2002/Aug/msg00129.... (found in the above link)

It kind of makes sense, the JVM pretends it's the "world", so something platform-specific affecting that world is generally going to be treated as a literal end-of-the-world (pun genuinely not intended... lol).

But then there's JNI. So Java does acknowledge that the OS is kind of there. And not all signals are fatal! This is mildly stupid.

> You can get these errors in circumstances that don't involve physical IO device errors, you can also get them in cases where the OS decides you can't get to that file (eg another process truncates it, or you run out of space writing to a sparse file, etc).

Oooh, riiight. Because you're not doing read()/write() I/O and mmap() is memory-centric, the kernel treats failures as memory errors. Makes a lot of sense!!

> By proper use of read() i meant being performance conscious. read() will usually have to copy the data into your buffer, whereas mmap() can just give you a virtual-memory assisted view of the kernel buffer cache. To eliminate this as a source of slowdown, you should size the read buffer so that it fits in CPU cache but still results enough work per read() call that the system call overhead doesn't get you. Around 128k is often close to the sweet spot.

Oh, it's because of cache consistency! I get it now!

I remember reading an article on here very recently about exactly this, but I can't remember any terms it had in it so I can't find it :(

Résumé/CV: I'm a generalist who have worked in several areas (embedded devices, j2me, android, desktop, web, back-end, front-end, BigData), currently I work mostly with Web Applications and BigData.

I can do a lot of things and I can learn fast what I'm required to.

I'm focused on writing maintainable, secure and scalable applications, I always try to apply good coding practices to make the life easier of the people who will work with my code.

I'm pretty interested in security related things, I've been passionate about security for the last years, I know about common vulnerabilities (exploit and prevent) and how to write secure software. It can be good to mention that I learned to program because I was trying to do reverse engineering like 8 years ago and took assembler as my first language which I learned by myself.

I've experience working with demanding clients, switching schedules to what a client prefers and I have great communication skills.

What I learned from all those stories about Yelp: If there's smoke there must be a fire. Lot's of smoke recently.
More likely, changing their Yelp profile location is nowhere on their list of things to do when they've moved.
It may be a shift in tactics, but definitely not in thinking. It's unsurprising that the corporate sector tends to favor policies that will provide a large population of fungible workers.
Got a lot of frisson reading this comment. I just can't understand the people who love to criticize Musk as a charlatan and PR mastermind because either way, true or untrue, he and his engineers are doing undeniable good in inspiring the next generation of scientists.

"Yelp has a small army of people"

Like how big is that small army? Your terms imply like, I dunno, maybe more than 1000?
And if you would have found a blog the probability would have been high that reviews would have been bought or were at least sprinkled with affiliate links.
I'd like to see some statistics to back up this assertion.
Two remarks come to mind here:

1. A great cold brew has so much more flavor to me than hot brewed coffee. It also is significantly less acidic, which helps my stomach a lot.

2. If I ever consider the weather while ordering beverages, I do so strictly to avoid an uncomfortable carrying situation (carrying a cold drink in an even colder environment). My warm bloodedness gives me a lot of agency to drink what I want and not what the weather tells me.
More practically, one should not expect that a peer-reviewed paper is correct.

For a YC-compatible analogy: think of it as code review. Pure junk gets filtered out, but bugs inevitably remain.
It can be read alongside this article which explains more of the science: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20150925-blindsight-the-stra...
> After learning about remote management capabilities I've always suspected it had holes. Large attack surface, any exploit would have a high value, and closed source.

Even after reading this, I'm still not convinced it does have holes. It's so high value (pervasive, incredibly powerful, and old) that if it were possible a bad actor would have used it. The spectrum of possibilities is small:

1. The hole does not exist, but SemiAccurate thinks it does.
2. It exists, but only SA has discovered it.
3. SA discovered it along with a few bad actors, who are using it surreptitiously and haven't been caught.
4. It's being used all over the place, it's a widely acknowledged security disaster.

We're not in state 4. The article suggests we're in 2 or 3. 2 seems unlikely - SA does not have special abilities that transcend those of other security research firms. 3 seems especially unlikely: with this much power available, and with the hole being patchable, could they resist using it? Which leaves option 1.
It's not equivalent to what OP made, the logic is slightly different. It took 5 minutes and it was just to demonstrate how easy it would be to make something similar. If you wanted to mirror OP you could build out the pixel struct to have a color to value mapping.

The penny auction one is even easier:

bytes3[10000][10000] board;
function colorPixel(uint x, uint y, bytes3 color) onBoard(x, y) {
board[x][y] = color;
}

Users would only have to pay the gas cost of using the ethereum network, the contract wouldn't hold any funds itself. Again, it's pretty much whatever you make out of it. You're not really constrained when it comes to building in logic into these contracts, anything (logically) you can do with any other languages is possible here.
Here's the most important paragraph:

"We made the strategic choice to pursue a deal with a major car company who promised a close date for a sizable transaction in lieu of a traditional venture capital funding round. The close date timeline extended from weeks to months, as they sought to gain the appropriate internal approvals that we (and they) thought were already in place. Throughout, we remained convinced of the close strategic fit and both sides had every expectation that the transaction would close. Despite assurances, and all parties acting in the best of faith, that didn’t happen."

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

It's bizarre that the board advisors would let that happen. I'm curious how they'd explain the failure. If you've ever done business with an enterprise, you should know that decisions can take years, not weeks or months. Though sometimes a few days if you get to the right person at the right time.
What would the update to the Perkins Career and Technical Education Act entail?
Little known in the industry, VHDL struct syntax allows for very neat and concise method to be used, called [Gaisler's method](http://www.gaisler.com/doc/vhdl2proc.pdf). The entire Processor and architecture is written using it (http://www.gaisler.com/index.php/downloads/leongrlib) - and it is fantastic to work with - it feels like a piece of object oriented programming, while using low level language of VHDL. Not sure if anyone has tried to apply Gasler's method to SystemVerilog, but verilog on its own falls quite short in this regard.
> unless it's geographically close enough to the bay area

I encourage this. Two observations. One, most companies hiring for these roles (i.e. growing fast) are in the Bay Area. Two, I've seen a material difference in performance between support that meets, in person, with the main office (e.g. management, engineering and sales) once a month or quarter versus those who just join on calls. The number of times a support person's recounting of some random interaction is overheard by someone who makes a decision based on that story is huge.

The big issue is the Bay Area's old timers are attempting to control the gains from this economic activity through their control of its real estate. This, in my opinion, is a national structural problem more than a local one.
The video posted below has pretty good evidence of what's going on:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C67Lh4LE5LY

He shows how he talked to a sales person at Yelp, received a bad review, which he proves is fake by showing a search from his CRM, than digs into the social media accounts of the Yelp sales person, and finds the yelp reviewer who left the bad review (but didn't have an invoice) was a friend of the sales person.

even if this is just a rouge yelp sales person, there is clearly something systematically wrong here.

You alluded to this. What's the ratio of disabled people who also drive? What about to that type of establishment? E.g., grocery store, gym, etc. Is it less than or greater than 20%? That answer would be a statistic for determining the number of handicapped spaces to require.
I'm surprised that you're foolish enough to fall under the assumption that people here are somehow smarter or better. They are not. This is simply a web site with zero barrier to entry.

I don't trust Yelp either. There have been too many stories like this over years - and even some in the comments section of this HN story!
