No bug bounty program has to pay market rate. They just have to pay enough so that $bounty > $market_rate - $fear_of_getting_arrested

Edit: there are actually other non-monetary benefits to being a white hat. Some of them get high-paying contracts or fantastic jobs. Some just like the prestige of finding flaws. So it's a more complicated equation than I presented above.

I don't see it as wear and tear. If you exercise correctly, everything from your bones, tendons, ligaments, and muscles will become stronger. The athleticism and strength that come from exercising will be beneficial for aging people in preventing and recovering from accidents. Not to discount the possibility of harmful effects, but the other benefits of intense exercise (especially cognitive health benefits) are easily worth it for me.
This is simply a falsehood. Both SUSE and RHEL provide the corresponding sources for all of their free software packages (regardless of the license) through source RPMs (which were actually created specifically for this purpose).

I believe that students should work on the ability to come up with data structures that solves different sets of real life problems, and get good at it. If they can do that, then they should be able to easily implement a linked list or graph when they need to.
I was wondering this too. I'm pretty sure I have both.

For instance, I fundamentally think I'm pretty great when compared to any "average person." And even most "high-functioning" people. However, I realize that talent is essentially meaningless in the grand scheme of things without tons of social proof you're always perceived as a nobody, so I still work my ass off and try not to let my own aptitude go to my head.

At the start, all Square did on the hardware side was slightly repackage an existing generic swiper. Our MVP swiper was equally small.

> The government creates money all the time.

The vast majority of new money is not created by the government, and that fact seems to be missing from your argument. If we no longer had credit we would be shrinking the available money supply by about 90%. This would be completely catastrophic for not only the US but the entire global economy.

Maybe you could be more specific about what you're proposing because I feel like I am not really understanding it.

If you read above - Dropbox does exactly that...

> https://www.dropbox.com/help/space/file-storage-limit

They claim a limit of around 300,000 files - this user apparently has 700,000 files.

The Google sync client doesn't have a hard limit per se, but yes, the performance does similarly decline after a certain point - it depends on a number of factors, but it's possibly at 700,000 that you would see issues. It should be able to comfortably handle 300,000 though.

In fact, most Desktop sync clients experience similar things.

I do know this is something we're aware of and are actively improving. In fact, we have a new Backup and Sync client that we announced recently and should be going GA shortly.

There's no details I have to contact this specific customer to see if I can intercede, but if anybody knows, please comment here.

(Disclaimer: I work for Google, but any comments above are my own).
> Is it okay for an engineer to take responsibility for a client and reach out to them directly instead of through an middle man support?

The problem with this is that the client now has your direct contact information. If you help them out, then you can bet the next time they have an issue they are coming straight to you rather than going through official channels. If they work at large customer your contact may get passed around within their company and you run the risk of being overwhelmed or having to start directly turning down requests for help. You really don't want to be in that situation.
Exactly this. Training principles are built upon the theory of supercompensation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Supercompensation) - by using something you make it weaker and your body makes it stronger.
Indeed. I hadn't actually reviewed ebay for electronics things for a couple of years, because any of the products I used to see there were significantly more expensive than anything I could get from aliexpress. It looks like, at least in this instance, that has turned around. I could even see individual 18650 cells for $1.

Great stuff.

> If you're reading HN you probably don't need that level of support, but that's not to say there aren't customers who need their hand held to restart a computer.

Part of the issue is that support is never allowed to push back on the customer. They don't get to say "I'm sorry, but you'll have to do a rudimentary computing course before I can proceed further". In a business environment it's all to easy to save on training costs in a department because they can push those costs on to support.

I don't think making a comparison to the price for 11 users at $7/user is really fair.

The author discusses how linear models are generally more interpretable than deep learning methods, but I'd argue that's actually changing pretty quickly. Especially for large image/sequence inputs (which covers most of the applications that are getting hyped up), linear regressions don't perform very well, and often that performance difference prevents them from picking out important features. Given that fast, scalable methods for feature importance are on the rise (e.g. https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.02685, which the author mentions), you often get equally interpretable feature scores from deep models that are more accurate than analogous ones from linear models.

Basically, my point is that model interpretation strongly depends on how accurate your model is, and because deep learning models are so much better than linear models for some tasks, it makes sense to use them - even if your primary goal is interpretability.

That said, I do believe that if you ever care at all about interpretation, you should almost never be using multilayer perceptrons (which have recently become part of the widening umbrella term "deep learning"), because they rarely work better than decision tree models or basic linear models (and MLPs are generally less or equally as interpretable when compared to traditional methods).
Maybe not to you. That might be the longest some people have had a conversation all year..

I'd like to take a moment to point out that the actual Copyright Act which BMG et al. are so freely waving about has a section that explicitly states that after a certain amount of time, these products are supposed to go into the public domain.

I'm not sure I can really respect their claims when it's clear from their behaviour (DRM, perpetually lobbying to extend the time periods, etc) that they themselves have no intention of heeding the Copyright Act.

...because something can't go to the public domain if no one has useable copies of anything .

Makes enough sense to me...

If you don't know anything about anybody... like the homeless man rummaging through my recycling bin right now looking for bottles... It's easy to look down on them or just write them off.

But if a neighbour told me anything about that same man... perhaps that he lost his job last year and thus just tries to supplement his income by picking up bottles in his spare time... I would feel immense sorrow even just looking at that man (who is still a stranger to me). Enough so that I would probably offer him some extra cash and a bite to eat if I had it.

I witnessed a man break into my neighbor's house the other day... which enraged me at first (what if it were my house?!) but when I saw the man who did it... I immediately felt sorry for him.

This was a desperate, dirty, homeless man with a smile on his face as the police dragged him away. He was probably just looking for some shelter to sleep that night.

The house that he "broke into" did admittedly look abandoned. And I found myself trying to justify the reasons that he might have tried to break into the house, rather than hating him silently.

All because I got a look at him.

> Do we need old millionaires driving around with flashy cars and big houses at all?

> What about parents raising children who are upright, have morals, and contribute to wellbeing of society?

I've met plenty of very successful, wealthy people that raise great kids. It's none of my business or anyone else's how these people spend their money but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and presume "old" means "old money" which means "never worked a day to get wealthy". In which case, yes, I think they often can raise garbage kids, but I'm unsure how one could go about "fixing" that.

I won't use any Google product for anything serious because of the complete and utter lack of support. It is virtually impossible to get a human to look at something, even when the process outlined is human-based rather than automated.

2. This year I've been trying to get an API quota increase for my employer. At 3+ months the request has still gone unanswered. Thankfully we don't depend on that for any revenue-generating function.

It's the same tone the current president of the United States uses in public tweets, so it is unfortunately not that unusual anymore.
Fairly successful guy here. No they don't. I worked till 5am last night on a new business. I absolutely hated school. I love to learn. We all learn differently but the system works for one type of learner. When I dropped out of high school I took the GED, of the guys I took the test with, most of them scored in the 90th percentile. We were all smart, and most of us liked to work, we just didn't fit the system.
No, credit cards essentially replace the tab. In fact that's how credit cards were invented:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diners_Club_International#Orig...

With tabs, the bar management has to do risk management: to decide who is allowed to keep a tab and how large each tab can get. This is hard to do without access to customers financial data. With credit cards, that risk management is done by the credit card network (mainly the issuer bank). The merchant pays a fee, and in return it gets cash at a predictable timeline with relatively little risk.

This may not be a popular opinion, but hear me out. I do have some intimate experience with witch hunting and the _current_ media... The "witch hunt" is real and fueled by the internet, misinformation, playing on emotions, and outrage.

Let me be super clear... I am not condoning Caldbeck in the least, after all, he did admit guilt. My comment is entirely focused on the hypocrisy of the _current_ media, pretending to stand on the moral pedestal of society, but really just trying to incite outrage to generate pageviews, which generates ad revenue and keeps them in business.

Second, has anybody ever taken a look at the editors, bloggers, and writers at media outlets? I'd predict they as a group are not as diverse as you'd expect. Liberal arts college educated, making middle class salaries. Probably not the group of deep thinkers and intellectuals we'd like to believe.
Renaissance Technologies? That's not a list I would have expected them to be on...
that's not really a 'tab' in the original sense as implied by the OP.

a tab is where you dont pay at all for an extended amount bof time, and settle afterwards. for example, you might settle monthly, or yearly. i do think this kind of tab doesn't happen very often.
Hit the nail on the head.

There's a lot of domain-specific units in use which aren't even imperial originally (fluid barrel, troy ounce/carat, ton of cooling, horsepower, AWG) that will stick around for a long time since they're used so frequently in finance, planning and B2B transactions, along with other imperial units that'll remain because they've taken on domain-specific uses (acre of land, fabric yard, bushel, mils) even when the engineers and logistics folks touching that same stuff are using SI equivalents.
The anatomy of “Hello World” python program in bcc
I believe there have been studies linking higher death rates to some endurance exercisers, and others showing the opposite (esp. among 'elite athletes', who may be especially adapted to this behavior).[0] Sorry I don't have more links... please apply skepticism and look deeper as you like. This is what I can provide.

First, it seems reasonable that, as a stressor, there is going to be a hormetic level of exercise, and then above that, a level that isn't healthy. That's in line with the linked article's advice, and also this summary of early death research from NYT:

'In the largest such study to date, involving more than 50,000 adults and presented at the 2012 annual meeting of the American College of Sports Medicine, participants who ran between 1 and 20 miles per week had almost 20 percent less risk of dying prematurely than people who didn’t exercise. But those who ran more than 20 miles per week enjoyed no such benefit. They had about the same risk of premature death as those who were sedentary.' [1]

If the above establishes the basic principle that too much exercise is counterproductive, there is almost certainly a level that actually starts subtracting lifespan (that study did not single out the most extreme endurance exercises AFAIK). Ergo, why there are so many deaths during Marathons (running even one M. can cause measurable heart damage).

I haven't checked out this angle, but it's also possible that lower muscle mass associated with endurance athletes is linked to (less) longevity, since, I believe, it is in general [2].

But again, one cannot approach this too simplistically. IIRC there is some evidence among pro bodybuilders of early death. More generally, exercise could have many effects, going in both directions, all with different curves.

This is a concept that seems particularly hard for folks who have learned to push their bodies well past the evolved resistance to high levels of exertion, and who take that unconditionally as a virtue.

EDIT: see also [3] below. I didn't have time to find the actual paper.

Is that what we are? Biological-chemical constructions who accumulate metrics of successes? Will people become more fulfilled in their lives because we give them all material wealth?

Why not have a world where people don't think of excessive material wealth as a metric of success at all, where people care about what fulfils their own and other's lives? In this world people don't accumulate wealth for the sake of accumulating it in the first place, and the distribution of wealth will also be more equal.

Your position would work directly against this vision, as an example.
Some industries (financial for example) have to meet regulatory/audit requirements that don't allow for cloud hosting.
With participants able to go into debt indefinitely, the process becomes a random walk.

The result should be each participant being up or down from 0 at a rate of proportionated sqrt of t, the number of iterations of the system. Implying a wealth distribution which would become ever-more skewed over time.
See there is an underlying issue here that seems to be neglected.

When you transform your work into a mathematical equation and then tell people they cant solve the equation without giving you money... well...

Your business model is fundamentally broken.

> It's like there's One True system for success and it requires good grades.

There is one thing that is required for success and it can be measured: IQ. If you don't have enough of it, you will struggle with a lot of things.

But having it alone doesn't tell you what kind of field you can succeed in.

I bet the wealthy real estate investors do have IQs that are well above average. (Not knowing how to use certain technologies is not a good indicator of IQ).
one that did all the hard work of coming up with a product to build, as that's generally the part I fail at :c
Thank you. Finally someone said it. This was not the least bit counterintuitive to anyone familiar with randomness.

We're they trying to imply that people should assume the distribution would remain uniform?. That strikes me as more "insane" than intuitive.

It's simply a function of how the tokens are being exchanged that would almost require some actors get the short straw, and since this is happening 100 times per round, that randomness ensure some actors get progressively shorter straws over time, because randomness is neither fair, not even. It's randomness.
I just tried your tool, and I must say it generated some impressive nonsense.

Putting in 这是什么东西 ("What is this thing") in the Chinese box yielded the translation "this is Why tender east west", which is a _character for character_ translation of the phrase. That's not especially meaningful or useful given that Chinese words are polysyllabic - I hope this is a temporary bug.

By contrast, Google Translate gives me the much more sensible "What is this" as a translation.
When I took world history at university, one of the biggest points taken from the bronze age section was that there hadn't been any hard evidence discovered to support an exodus of Israelites from Egypt to Palestine (Canaan), and that instead the evidence leaned more toward the "Sea Peoples" being the original progenitors of Israel.

Can anyone comment on whether this is still the most common accepted theory?
I don't think material wealth is worthy enough as a metric of success for society to care about giving equal access to it to everyone - mere sufficient access ought to be enough, and focus on what's more important than material wealth, of which good parenting is one example. Which is a more pressing problem: the top paid individuals of group X earns less than the top paid individuals of group Y, or the fact that so many in society are focused on the wrong things when they think about what makes them content and happy?
