> Not a very common first or last name in themselves, but in combination quite a common match

I'm sort of confused. You state that your first name and last name are not common. That is, there is a low probability some random person has the same first name as you, and also a low probability some random person has the same last name as you. We can write that as follows:

P(N_f = F, N_l = *) < X
P(N_f = *, N_l = L) < X

Where X is a low probability, and F and L are your first and last names while N_f and N_l are the first and last names of some random person. So, how can the following hold:

P(N_f = F, N_l = L) > X

That is, the probability some random person has both your first name and your last name is higher, or in your words the occurrence is 'quite common.'

It should be obvious this is not possible.
> They just have value because some people decided they are valuable

This is the basis of any currency. Backing of a powerful government is a mixed blessing.
Don't anyone show her what a human heart actually looks like.
Meh. In Python you can put a def inside of any scope you want and do anything that you want with it. The fact that it winds up with a name in that scope doesn't stop it from being anonymous everywhere else.

At that point the difference is just syntax.
Yeah, it's still a 7-wide VLIW like the Efficeon but it also has a unit to run native arm code in hardware emulation at a lower IPC for code that hasn't been translated. The idea is to run code that's only used once in hardware emulation but to recompile all the hot code to native VLIW execution.

terrible article and I suspect it was written by a robot. You see this more an more with articles in mainstream press. The article consists of a catchy title with 8 paragraphs that restate the title different ways and never provide the detail a human reader would want
Sex Pistols "E.M.I." and "Liar"
Is the code available somewhere?
It doesn’t look like to be open-sourced.
I would not entirely agree. Some of the current optimizations are so advanced and specific for each particular bit of code that it might not good to generalize from those output. I remember ICC generating different (but similar) code for each Intel CPU generation. I suppose it has to do with the decoder limitation (4-1-1-1, 4-2, 2-2, etc.) and exhausting execution port usage, but I never bother to confirm this. It gets very complex after a while.
The 12-year-old murderer with the 40 year sentence
I'm from New Jersey and I'd call it either, which I guess summarizes the predicament of my state.
My aunt was cleaning the houses of rich people for a living and then when she was in her late 40's she decided to return to school. She ultimately earned her degree in Accounting in her 50's and now she does all of the rich people's taxes that she used to clean for.
> Most people who are paying that much for pills are retired middle class people trying to stay healthy into old age

What of all the people whose lifespan is cut early by disease? Getting cancer or some other serious disease at a young age just due to sheer dumb luck is less common, but still quite prevalent. Or let's just think about traffic accidents? It's just preposterous to me that people should ever have to worry about sudden illness or injury. If you're looking for bloat and overspending, why not slash the defense budget instead?

> The best alternative for the patient is saying "yes" and spending $300k and live another year in diapers.

Wait, wasn't this exactly what republicans criticized obamacare for? The accusation was that there were "death panels" that would decide whether it's "worth it" to put all that money into that one dying patient, or whether it's better spent elsewhere. So we don't like it when obamacare appears to be doing it, but now that obamacare is gone we want it?

Digital Sucks – NEXT Conference
I have to admit that I was one of the people who thought that when automation came to the police force, it would come to SWAT first a la Chappie[1]. Bulletproof robots armed with nonlethal weaponry. No SWAT teams putting infants in comas with flashbangs[2] or shooting people. Robots kick down the door and taze criminals.

However it makes a lot more sense like this, as a cost saving measure. It doesn't seem like these robots are meant to offer any real assistance. Rather dystopically they apparently scan faces to look for fugitives. Still- the more "routine" police work is automated, the better. Parking and speeding tickets being automatic are better for everyone. Robot cops that can actually offer assistance, particularly in many languages, would be great.

Frameshift Genomics | Backend Engineers, Frontend Web Developers | Boston, MA

Frameshift Genomics (http://frameshift.io) is hiring backend engineers and web developers to work on the iobio project (http://iobio.io), building a real­-time genomics analysis platform.

Web developers will be creating web applications with functionality ranging from visualizing terabytes of biological data to fine grained interrogation of disease­ causing mutations that open the world of complex genomic analysis to medical professionals and scientists with limited or no experience in computational analysis. These applications are built on our technology stack, consisting of a node web service backend, which streams analysis results via websockets to the web applications, where results are visualized using D3. The successful applicant will be involved in further developing the iobio framework (client libraries and server), designing and building new web apps, and creating new visualizations.

For backend engineers we are looking to create systems that will analyze huge amounts of genomic data, support the visualization and collaboration needs of our web apps, and provide a robust API for data visualization. We are built on AWS and are looking to leverage the cloud wherever possible, but will most likely require traditional server setups for clients with sensitive patient data. The successful applicant will be involved in both designing and building these systems.
Remuneration will include both a competitive salary and stock in Frameshift Genomics. Contact us at cmiller@frameshift.io

That analogy doesn’t really hold. In the US, the local language is pretty much just english, and I’d be surprised if there was a trend of people in Chicago going to bookstores to buy books written by locals. Not to mention that Amazon is not really weak when it comes to books written by anyone, local or otherwise. They are all likely to be available on Amazon.
How is it not what I describe? You just described exactly what I described.

Everyone was wondering (both pro-trump and anti-trump) where the "90%" came from. Because it was pretty clear the race was not that obvious. People keep saying nobody saw it coming, but that's their emotion speaking. People just didn't want Donald Trump to win because they thought he's a joke, but objectively speaking people knew clearly that there were tons of his supporters around the U.S., and it was definitely NOT 90% chance that Hillary would win.

To me, THAT's the ultimate "fake news". Slapping a percentage number on it and putting it on the front page is just not right, especially when it's based on very subjective (and eventually false) speculative data.
Ooooh, maybe this is relevant:

> function foo()
>> local a = _ENV
>> local _ENV = a
>> return {a=function() _ENV = {r=6} end, b = function() return r end}
>> end
> r = 5
> x = foo()
> x.b()
> =x.b()
5
> return x.a()
> return x.b()
6
>

vs

> function foo()
return {
a = function() return setfenv(2, {r = 6}) end,
b = function() return r end
}
end
> x = foo()
> = x.a()

A dead butterfly may fit more "snugly" into the frame of a square pillow, but personally -- and aesthetics, after all, are rather subjective -- I would dispute that it is "more aesthetically pleasing" than a living one.

Email: hnjobs at realityexists dot net

Software developer with 15 years of experience. The technologies above are just what I'm most experienced in - I'm always open to others and can learn them quickly. (Currently learning Go.)

I like to build things well (maintainable, robust, secure, performant, tested...), but can also knock out a quick-and-dirty solution when needed. Having worked in start-ups, it's a trade-off I'm very familiar with. I do what needs to be done, whether it's setting the technical direction, hiring developers, improving the development process and tools or just refactoring that horrible code nobody else wants to touch.

Passionate about security and privacy, so if your product helps people with those things - that's a bonus.

Available immediately, as I recently got fired from Google. :) (Don't worry, it was not for the code I wrote - it was for refusing to travel to the USA.)
It's easy to understand why you'd feel strongly about this, but that's not enough to make for substantive comments, and you still have to follow the rules here regardless of how wrong others are.

He did indeed! He published an article in the last week that listed 4 outcomes for the election, each with ~25% confidence. 3 Had a Clinton victory and 1 did not. I recall him also making some pretty emphatic condemnations of Sam Wang's Princeton Election Consortium, arguing that the numbers absolutely did not support PEC's >95% confidence in a Clinton win. Wang, for his part was so confident that he offered to eat a bug if Clinton lost. Wang's statistical method turned out to be a disaster, but he did follow through.

Does anyone else wonder why this is getting so much media attention? Presumably any company above a certain size is likely to have one or two HR-related lawsuits happening at any particular time. I can't imagine this being big news if she worked for IBM or HP. They also shoehorned in an unrelated story about worker safety.

What is the Guardian's agenda here? Is it just that Tesla (and Musk) are very high profile at the moment? I'm not saying she doesn't have a legitimate complaint, she may well do and that's for a court to decide. But this simply wouldn't be news if it happened at a 'boring' company. (Well maybe The Boring Company).
Silver's analysis probably overstates the impact of the Comey letter:

> it’s now clear that Mrs. Clinton was weaker heading into Oct. 28 than was understood at the time. Several other polls were conducted over the same period that showed Mr. Trump gaining quickly on Mrs. Clinton in the days ahead of the Comey letter. And the timing of these polls — particularly the gap between when they were taken and when they were released — has probably helped to exaggerate the effect of Mr. Comey’s letter on the presidential race

You don't have to be a malicious liar to be wrong. And it's perfectly reasonable to take your employer to court if you suspect the result of the internal processes to be wrong or even covering something up. But as an employee if you take things into public media to pressure your employer via the threat of harming their public image (because that's the entire point of going public like this) -- you better have a pretty airtight case to back up your claims.

An employer-employee relationship is ultimately built on trust (enshrined in a contract but still based on mutual assumptions of good faith). There's nothing strictly wrong with airing your dirty laundry in public but at that point you're terminating the relationship. The only question left at that point is whether there are any remaining obligations but thinking you can just carry on as usual is absurd.

I'm not even arguing about the emotions involved. Tesla may have betrayed her trust if her allegations are true, but she definitely betrayed the company's trust by actively dragging this into the headlines.
