Intel | Compiler/Software Engineers | San Diego, Santa Clara, San Francisco, Folsom OR | REMOTE/VISA for strong candidates. Full-time.

Currently in deep learning, if one wants to implement a low level kernel (LSTM, batch-norm etc), you're either going to be writing CUDA or device specific low level code. Join us as we grow the Intel Nervana Graph project (https://www.nervanasys.com/intel-nervana-graph-preview-relea...) the deep learning equivalent of LLVM: an open source deep learning compiler and IR. We plan on pushing the boundaries of tensor optimizations and enable the same benefits that the programming language and compiler community have reaped from LLVM.

Required: C++, modern software engineering, at_least_3(humility, curiosity, drive, on_the_right_side_of_Dunning_Kruger_effect).

Desired: Python, low level optimization, numerical linear algebra, deep learning/ML

There are huge 'red' zones mixed throughout 'blue' california.

Geographically, yes. But land doesn't vote, people do. By population, it's a huge spread. Hillary beat Trump by over a 30% spread. 61.73% vs 31.62%.

Most of the big "blue" states are similar. In Illinois, it was a 17% spread. Over 22% spread in New York.
Just the text book creators being influenced by their biggest consumer.

"Texas buys 48 million textbooks every year. No other state, except California, wields that sort of market clout."[1]

http://www.nea.org/home/39060.htm
Yep. The Democratic states not only enjoy diminished influence through a representation sham, they're also forced to finance bad ideas & issues that are morally diametric to their own. This is really a story as old as time when you think about it in that light, it's a powder keg.
He wrote 'smartphone', not 'cellphone' and presumably knows the difference.

With a cellphone the GPS in the phone can - and will - track you six ways from Sunday unless you are very very careful, with a cellphone the carrier does not so much 'track your location' as that they record field strength to determine which tower you connect to as well as to manage the handover. To turn that into location data is absolutely possible but not nearly as accurate as GPS, especially not when you stop moving for a while.
The "open web" is really an Eden-like myth, as there has and always will be stakeholders with various agendas chicaning the free exchange of information. Sorry, yes, but we really are opportunistic fucks. Not to Gordon Gecko levels, but an element of it will always be there and we need to collectively acknowledge and integrate it if we are to evolve.

Either way, Facebook's obfuscation of data is justifiably a cause for the concern due to the mass adoption of its platform. Yet, it's easy to focus on the machinations and fuckery that Facebook engage in to hold our gaze and numb our minds. What's more difficult is to question the agency of its hundreds of millions of users, who each have a slab of skull-encased smartmeat that gifts them with relative free will in their lives. Rather predictably, it comes down to a question of agency and personal responsibility: if you don't like the site, get off it.

But were only it so simple. Facebook is so deeply entrenched in the infrastructure of our personal lives, that it's very difficult for a lot of 'normies'(sic) to just pack up and fuck off. While the HN community may be au fait with the finer points of privacy, mass surveillance, and the founding principles of our nascent virtual civilisation - Dave from softball in Akron or Juliette who has a duck farm in the south of France do not. While they'd be concerned about those things if they were explained and they grokked the implications, their fucks lie elsewhere and, hence, Big Social Media remains a fringe idea.

TLDR: We get the social media we deserve.
As party sentiment goes, yes, but as far as policy and control goes there are some significant differences.
Youtube TV isn't even available in Seattle at the moment ( https://support.google.com/youtubetv/answer/7068923 ), so the value proposition there is a bit mixed compared to the available services with mixes of affiliates in many markets.

I assume everybody wants all of them in all markets, it's just a different strategy of when to make something available. E.g. what if you're like me, and primarily watch college sports on ESPN, and don't really care about NBC or Fox locals in your market?
I'm not sure you can take the economic analysis and simply break into red vs blue. It's interesting to look at rural vs urban within those states too.

Texas isn't as strongly on the same policy track as many red states, and it also has a strong oil industry as a big input into it's economy. Though I think they have been looking forward and trying to diversify more recently.
> I'm shocked it hasn't been tested in court more already.

Most Teslas on the road are still under warranty, with Tesla footing the bill for repairs. Once all of those second and third owners of Model Ss start needing out-of-warranty repairs, then I expect we'll start seeing some real heat.
My guess is maybe it had something to do with this[1].

You have nothing of value to add to this conversation so you dig into the parent's post history and shame the parent to discredit. Disgusting.
My admiration of Musk goes up another notch. How is that even possible???
My solution is much easier. I block all known FB IPs via provisioning rules on my phone, and never have to see (or pay for) any of that crap.
That's well within tolerances I could live with, I think. And optical clarity is not a requirement! I'm just thinking about complex-shaped translucent diffusers for a design of accent lamp I'm thinking about making - if it works out, I might see if I can sell them to some of the hipster shops around here, and I can see where diffusers might add some appeal.

Thanks again for all the info! I really appreciate you taking the time.
Sure, but if the point of separation is to resolve a crisis where two sides can't agree I don't see how you'd get them to pass the one piece of legislation that requires the ultra-highest bar of consensus, across both the state and federal levels of government.
States also have governments which make decisions (like the one being discussed here). That said, the grandparent comment is a massive oversimplification. California itself had tax revenue problems not too long ago.
I would read the full speech from Trump, he makes some good points, although im sure some of it is false and not sure how it compares to other factors.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/01/politics/trump-paris-agreement...

"For example, under the agreement, China will be able
to increase these emissions by a staggering number of years
-- 13. They can do whatever they want for 13 years. Not
us. India makes its participation contingent on
receiving billions and billions and billions of dollars in
foreign aid from developed countries."

"China will be allowed to build hundreds of additional
coal plants. So we can’t build the plants, but they can,
according to this agreement. India will be allowed to
double its coal production by 2020. Think of it: India
can double their coal production. We’re supposed to get
rid of ours. Even Europe is allowed to continue
construction of coal plants."

"In short, the agreement doesn’t eliminate coal jobs,
it just transfers those jobs out of America and the United
States, and ships them to foreign countries."

"This agreement is less about the climate and more
about other countries gaining a financial advantage over
the United States."

"Beyond the severe energy restrictions inflicted by the
Paris Accord, it includes yet another scheme to
redistribute wealth out of the United States through the
so-called Green Climate Fund -- nice name -- which calls
for developed countries to send $100 billion to developing
countries all on top of America’s existing and massive
foreign aid payments. So we’re going to be paying billions
and billions and billions of dollars, and we’re already way
ahead of anybody else. Many of the other countries haven’t
spent anything, and many of them will never pay one dime."

"Even if the Paris Agreement were implemented in full,
with total compliance from all nations, it is estimated it
would only produce a two-tenths of one degree -- think of
that; this much -- Celsius reduction in global temperature
by the year 2100. Tiny, tiny amount. In fact, 14 days of
carbon emissions from China alone would wipe out the gains
from America -- and this is an incredible statistic -would totally wipe out the gains from America's expected
reductions in the year 2030, after we have had to spend
billions and billions of dollars"

FYI, I'm not into politics and I'm 100% pro environment, I do try to be open and hear every party's point of view.
The thing is, Verizon's not killing anybody by this disaster. Upper management there probably still sees cryptocurrencies as a fad toy. I'm being pragmatic.

Here is an open idea that I have long wondered about. If you think this would work, you are welcome to have it and turn it into a startup (it could work as a free service, it could work on a subscription).

Make a duress system that allows people to open a fast-loading webpage or app, scroll down to Gmail, and hit "Fight!". Then they'd scroll to Coinbase and click/tap the button there too.

This service would then immediately log into your account repeatedly and change your password, along with your recovery email address and other information that, if changed, would make logging in a hassle (such as your security recovery questions). It does this as many times a second as possible, for I'm not sure how long.

My thinking is that "wat, 42 password resets in 18 seconds" is probably going to freak most well-designed services out, which will then hopefully lock your account... possibly saving it.

Better yet (I just realized), the app could lock your account, if the service allows it, after resetting your password.

--

The way I envisage the site/app working is that, you input your account details (your actual password) into a locked tome with a passphrase. When disaster strikes you unlock the tome, perhaps with your fingerprint. The reason for this is that service APIs might not universally provide enough access to "do good", if you will, and there's also the consideration that the site might be up but the API might be down (a bit like Verizon being closed!).

Also, about changing the email, gmail allows you to do things like youraddress+alias@gmail.com, so the app could simply change the email to things like youraddress+98ea6e4f216f2fb4b69fff9b3a44842c38686ca685f3f55dc48c5d3fb1107be4@gmail.com, or variants that won't freak gmail out if they have alarms on that sort of behavior.

I'll never understand the people who can talk about liberal elites and virtual signalling in one sentence, and "real americans" in the next.
Misreporting either income or expenses is a crime. The latter will get you an IRS penalty. The former will get you jail time.

See Leona Helmsley about whether tax evasion is a crime.

Edit: Clarification. Understating income or overstating deductible expenses, are crimes.

California has "red" areas, yes, but at the level of state government they are drowned out just as they are in the electoral college. State-level policies are heavily "blue".
Mostly because no cost would be seen as too high for maintaining access to the Pacific. Also, the Pacific Coast and Sierra Nevada range are crucial elements of US defense strategy. The US also has some substantial military bases and accompanying sympathetic populations in CA, especially in the San Diego area.
Ie, Civil War.
There is only one party, Capitalism, and they have two departments: Democrats and Republicans. The others whom stand against them are the DINOs and RINOs like JusticeDemocrats, BrandNewCongress and Sanders whom are currently at the margins attempting reform. (Third parties are mere delusions without an overwheling majority of power players that can jump ship together.) If the grassroots has any hope, it will be a grassroots-demanded trend to clean money politics and push out establishment decay these insurgents bring to the table.
I believe you are confusing microcode (which is mainly used for complex and slow instructions and does not need to be RISC) with micro-ops which is the Intel lingo for the internal RISC operations.

Register renaming is a key part of high performance ISA emulation. The x64 has 16 gp registers but the internal RISC normally has 80. Of course this is also a key part of OOO and alike as you mentioned.

Textbooks are written by publishers and reviewed by boards appointed by the state. However, this is a costly process and most small states do not bother with it. Due to the size of Texas, it makes sense for them to review and direct the writing of their own textbooks.

Thus, small states will often use textbooks originally published and directed by Texas(or another large state) for their school curriculum. This is why it's such a huge deal when <x huge state> removes <x important topic> from their curriculum.
not cool man. not cool.
I thought it was ambiguous in the context of an article talking about converting mass to energy. Without running the numbers, I couldn't tell if that was a unit of the input mass or the output energy.
I'd say that's a perpendicular issue to what I'm talking about. It's more about China, Russia, etc. having credibility when making agreements, which makes them better partners when making international deals. It's like, do you want to date a girl (or boy) who agrees to be monogamous one week but regularly changes her mind when the opportunity arises? Or someone who's willing to follow through with her commitments?

That said, one aspect that sort of touches on that is now the USA has no say in the agreement as it evolves. If China and the EU keep on building on their strengths in green tech, they could very easily ratchet up the agreement to be much more favorable to their economies, plausibly including heavy fees on all exports from noncompliant countries. (That's one major reason fossil fuel interests mostly wanted us to stay in it.)
Yes, metadata can't be encrypted. And it can't be eliminated.

But it can be obfuscated enough to be, in practice, virtually useless. A single VPN service provides no anonymity. Tor provides some anonymity, using onion routing. There are three relays in normal circuits. Each of them knows where data comes from, and where it's going to. But with at least three, the entry and exit relays don't know each other.

But there are vulnerabilities. The relay early bug allowed CMU researchers to communicate between their malicious entry and exit relays, and so de-anonymize users and onion services. That bug is fixed, but of course there may be others.

However, onion routing can also be applied to VPN services. I'm typing this through a nested chain of VPNs. And one can readily use Tor via nested VPN chains. So adversaries would need to compromise multiple servers in different jurisdictions, walking through Tor and VPNs, in order to identify me. Or they could exploit intercepts from network edges with traffic analysis. But it wouldn't be easy.
I don't, and for precisely those reasons. Actually I do own them for testing and dev purposes but never ever carry them with me, my regular phone is an oldie from just before the smartphone hit. I fear the day that it will die.
Oh, this is just Trump sticking it to Macron for humiliating Trump by crushing his knuckles in that infamous handshake. /s
Unlikely. The first sample is from around 1400 BCE. The last king of the Hyksos dynasty was expelled 1550 BCE.
Their samples go to 400 CE. They did conclude a continuity of the population for the whole time. If these were really foreigners the must have came in at a steady stream for over 1300 years, with no local intermixing.
Two things. 1. This guy didn't just talk about traffic engineering, he specifically claimed to have special expertise as an engineer to comment on the issue, blatantly disregarding what should have been his own professional ethics. 2. Unlike some states, it's against the law in Oregon to enter an intersection when the light is yellow, a fact not noted in the article and apparently missed by this guy's analysis.

Also, any actual licensed engineers want to comment on the ethics of using one's professional status to press a personal grudge?
This. If you have a CFO, contact that person. If not, then anyone in finance, or a partner. Everyone is there for pay. This is a reasonable request.
Wow the Clipper Chip is interesting reading, especially in light of the current battles over cellphone encryption. Thanks!
Are S1 filings required to look awful? More seriously, are there certain formatting rules/requirements? They always look like some intern slapped together copy and corporate stock images into a Word doc and then shipped it.
Oh, in case you were wondering, the ubiquitous term "rune" in the Go documentation is simply shorthand for "Unicode codepoint".
I'd have to agree with Josh. Sigma looks pretty cool because it would save me from having to write some custom query scripts that I have to do now. However it doesn't appear to be competition for the Baremetrics dashboard as far as I can tell. I'm a happy user of theirs and don't feel lured away by Sigma at all.

Edit: Additionally, the pricing seems a bit much considering that Stripe is already making a good deal of money off of their users transactions and it isn't so much trouble to write your own queries via their api.
At the state-level, Illinois has the fewest government employees per 1000 citizens. Source: http://www.sandiegouniontribune.com/sdut-ap-data-states-shed...

Our medicaid costs are below the national average. Per-capita education costs are also some of the lowest (at the state level - IL depends heavily on local property taxes)

Our Republican governor has been unable to cut any state-level waste for that very reason: The entire state government is already runs lean.

We're in a budget mess because of pension obligations, not because we're a bunch of hippie spendthrifts.
As a physicist, I find the treatment of gravity as a "force" rather bizarre.

It's not a force per se, rather a perceived force as a result of the curvature of spacetime - it's no more a force than centripetal acceleration, which is a perceived force brought about by a rotating frame of reference.

Gravity similarly is a perceived force as a result of a moving frame of reference in a dimension we aren't built to directly perceive, other than as an acceleration towards mass.

But that's physics for you - the particle physicists want particles everywhere. The quantum physicists want collapsing waveforms everywhere. The cosmologists just see warped space.

If anything, the thing preventing resolution of any variety of GUT is culture.
> sell your data at the drop of a hat

Tesla's privacy policy does say that this data won't be shared outside of "Tesla personnel" [0] - what evidence do you have that Tesla would break their agreement with their customers, and which law(s) in which country(s) prohibit carriers from selling location data?

Don't think you should be dv'd either. We need to remember to respect the office even when we don't respect the person.

Eventually "our person" will once again hold the office of POTUS and we'll need it to be a respectable position of power.
I'd be interested to see this broken down by category, but at least some of this disproportionate money is for transportation (maintenance of the national highway system) which is a benefit to the whole country (you're not going to get your steaks trucked into your whole foods without an interstate highway system) as well as necessary for national defense.

Many of these states also have large amounts of BLM land, and it's not clear from these articles how money to maintain that land is accounted for.

I think the idea of states having national influence in these matters comes from the fact that if a producer of some sort (textbooks, cars, etc) wants to sell something across the US, they need to follow the strictest standards that populous states have, or else they need to have separate cars for California, separate textbooks for Texas, etc. I guess it can be more expensive to do that, so they end up just meeting the stricter conditions nationwide when that makes more sense.
And things like this
