happiness is overrated.

so is striving to become successful at work. i can hardly believe that i'll be on my deathbed complaining that i wasn't successful enough at work.

but rather, I would be mostly filled with happiness and joy because of this long and crazy trip called life.

i think if you are easily manipulated by any shit people throw at your face you will feel pretty good while being successful, which generally means that people conceive you as better than someone else. but i see this as a very retarded view of the world, as you might be good at doing one thing, but there are so many things. I just imagine the kid trying to be good at something so they their parents are happy because they are good. When things doesn't come naturally, but at a cost of being superior, or even at cases inferior, it's a bit shitty imho.

I grew up as a kid where my parents would only compliment me when I completely beat up other people in everything. I grew up in this and have attained a lot of things which people from my social circle wouldn't ever dream of, to later see that I did all that because I was actually grown with a very shitty perspective of life, where everything I do it must be to win and I could only be happy that way, I was trained that way.

I'm still unwiring myself from this bullshit, and I think everybody should. the world got too much sick people with this mindset already.

while someone is a awesome co-worker and got promoted to management, the other is strong and struggling with a relative with cancer, meanwhile the other is caring about his son.

i see this as no competition at all, success is just perception and perception you don't care about the details of the ones who didn't "make it". and the ones who didn't "make it" might generally be way better than you in general, but having a hard time, not coming from the same background and so on.

so I don't think anybody can reliably look for success that way, and it's kinda sad people who does believe in that.

These guys know what they are doing. The guide rope coming undone may lead to safety improvements for other divers. The divers found themselves in a quite difficult situation, and through skill, resourcefulness and chance managed to find a way for both to come home alive and well.

A child of such a parent surely learns a thing or two about how to manage risk. Since life cannot be lived without risk, I would argue that such knowledge may better the child's chances in life.

Therefore, I argue this may be a better father than one that shies away from "unnecessary" risk.
Well done, including the prompts. I'm reminded of Eno's Oblique Strategies.

It's bloat due to 'introns' (useless statements that don't effect the output, like x = x * 1). And yes, just adding a fitness function to shorten program length isn't optimal. I've found it easier to evolve successful programs (letting the bloat happen) and then keep removing statements from correctly generated programs whilst checking if the output is the same. Probably not optimal either but I feel like it gives better results.
very well written comment, thank you.

I think you've miss-read my comment. That was the summary of the video not a statement of opinion, and I think it's an accurate TLDR of the video.

Any industry connection you want to disclose?

Yes. As someone with limited cooking skills, I don't think it's quite as simple as 'double quantities of everything to serve 4 people instead of 2'; I'm not sure if it's possible to define a simple formula for how different ingredients scale, nor whether that would need to take into account other ingredients, etc. Would be interesting to see quite how 'algorithmic' cooking can get!

For a lot of the basics (flour, sugar, rice, etc.) conversion formulas/tables exist, but I've found that if you use recipes from around the globe, it's much easier to just have measuring utensils for cups/spoons (US cooking volume units) alongside the standard metric volume measures and scales in your kitchen.

Yes.

Lots of great things are happening or about to happen. Litecoin got segwit earlier this year. Bitcoin looks like it's going to get segwit soon. It's looking more likely than it was 12 months ago that Monero will get hardware wallet support within the next 12 months.

If you think about it as "bookmarking" - no, don't care. Bookmarking usually implies a manual, fragile process.

Being half way through on iOS, then being able to continue listening exactly at the same point on MacOS - yes. That's something iTunes and the iPod supported since day zero, and nobody else has yet properly replicated. And it's really useful if you listen to podcasts longer than about five minutes long.

It usually is though. Cooking times however don't tend to scale predictably (except for microwaves).

First off, the freelancer doesn't automatically have to be male. Second, I think this is quite debatable.

If you're a large company or well-known startup, sure, you may be able to easily hire people who are really into your product, but again, that doesn't mean you can't find an hire a freelancer that is an advocate for your product.
Thanks! Maybe I'll give it a shot...
Good work! Parsing hRecipe and Schema.org Recipe entities is what we also did before for Spiceship. Unfortunately, the quality of recipes from the Internet is unspeakably low, so we had to switch almost entirely to parsing e-books. Some websites like SeriousEats are better than the others, but generally, it's not serving any purpose except aggregating the recipes Yummly-style and getting some kind of data insights from them.

They hint at this but don't really cover how incredibly "nice" everyone is expected to be. I have had multiple angles of sourcing on this including existing employees and high level management candidates. It doesn't sound bad on the face of it, but apparently the culture is non-confrontational to (what some perceive as) a fault.

In the cases where I know the people very well this is especially interesting because they are incredibly nice people that told me the culture is overly focused on not making people feel bad. Coming from these people this statement was a real eye opener.

I currently work in a very "nice" culture. People from places where being nice isn't a priority have trouble with it sometimes. One thing people tell me I'm good at in this culture is delivering constructive criticism in a way that is accepted and acted on without the recipient feeling "bad." All of that said, Stripe sounds like it takes the work culture I'm in today and squares it. Many people will not be able to operate effectively in that kind of culture -- both in terms of being able to deliver criticism with the right degree of nicety and in terms of not receiving or being able to understand criticism that would help them improve their performance. This is potentially a detriment to those people and to the company.

If I were Stripe I would cover this head on. In the spirit of what's already there, I'd add something like "are you capable of performing at your best without direct feedback about areas where you can improve?"
Learning Time Management: 9 Best Techniques to Get You Started
So you just got robbed. What law enforcement agency will you complain? Gold rush & Wild wild west.
There are two open formats for recipes: hRecipe microformat, and Schema.org Recipe entity. Aggregators like Yummly parse those. Most food blogs are based on Wordpress or Typepad, both of which has recipe "editors" as plugins and produce valid hRecipe definitions.
I thought once about doing a "flavour graph" where people could go on and add what they thought were good flavours to mix together. The more people added the same flavours, the stronger the edges between nodes would get.
I'd probably have to separate it somehow by geographic region, as tastes vary, but in the end you should have a good approximation of "what goes with what".
Thanks for the link. Any favorite prompts that help you think?
You still have to know that the amounts stated in the recipe are for 4 people to decide »Hm, that may be a bit much to cook for just two«.

Probably comes down to whether the model can be trained with gradient descent (at least in the short term).

A general pre-trained RL guided architecture search (#1) together with more choices of nonlinearity (#2), feature extraction (#3), pooling and memory argumentation (#4) and other tricks (#5) could be very powerful amongst many domains. Make it be able to accept multiple pre-trained models as priors and we're well on our way to general AI or at least a place where most data-scientists could be automated away.

(#1 deepmind had a demo a year back or so that was quite novel)
(#2 vaguely remember someone training decision trees with gradient descent; could definitely see a 'randomforest' layer appearing in the middle of deep nets)
(#3 just convolutions + tricks really).
(#4 neural turing machine etc)
(#5 any attention mechanism/any sequence mechanism (rnn/lstm etc)/ any graph relational understanding like the recent deepmind paper).
We don't agree, but what does that matter? Nothing stops coming up with a proper standard - such a thing already exists to some extent.

The example of childbirth has more factors to it - other than it being required to further the human race, there is a biological imperative to do it. Plus, in the past, women didn't always have as much choice.
While your use cases are definitely valid for you, this is not a Rust issue, but something that's 100% decided by your distro. They decide if, when and how they integrate Rust into it.

As for the multiple copies issue with Cargo:
I generally agree with you that this definitely feels like 1 source of major blow up in project compile times, and it would be nice and useful if that were reduced as much as possible.
But there is a reason that this system is in place: each crate defines how it compiles and consumes its dependency crates, so if crates A and B both depend on crate C, then A might compile and consume C differently than B does. This results in effectively different libraries once compiled, and ATM there is no way to predict in advance what the effect of any given compile flag will be since any flag can switch on/off arbitrary code. Hence Cargo keeps A's C dependency separate from B's.

Then there's the not doubting whether an application uses the latest patches. Up to a point, this can be automated through exploitation of SemVer: if Cargo could figure out that a new library version is API and ABI compatible with the previous version then I'd argue that Cargo should perhaps just auto-update it.
A bigger issue is what happens when a new major version of the library is released, as those tend to break APIs in order to perform maintenance. That is something that as of yet has not been automated.
At least some of MFPs ("verified") raw ingredient don't seem to use those though. 100g of Avocados, for example, can easily have several thousands of kcal according to them.

Top 5 Reasons Why You Can’t Win Without Task Management
Ask HN: Seeking advice wrt dating service and legal pitfalls
I’m building a dating/new friends service; there are numerous and diverse potential legal pitfalls, what are they and how do I protect myself and my users? For those of you with experience building such a site, or any kind of social network, what unexpected difficulties did you encounter, and did any of those arise because of technical issues (or implementation)?

What are your age and identity-verification recommendations, any nice APIs out there? Since this will be a free service, ideally, I’d like to avoid credit card-based verification as you lose potential users who refuse to give their card even if it won’t be charged (or a refunded charge).

I have implemented account activation by SMS; there are few anonymous numbers in my launch-country, and registration at launch (and a pre-launch campaign) will be restricted to numbers with this country’s call prefix.
I have noticed the only verification Tinder does is Facebook and SMS activation.

Any general advice?
Time Series Analysis and Forecasting: Novel Business Perspectives
Like the old adage goes, they won't do this because their livelihood depends on it.

A single user can be exposed to 3-4 (or more) ads per page. Each ad can earn them some money depending on the relevance of the ad to the viewer. In this case, the price they charge the advertiser is more guesswork/auction than science. They don't have to/can't prove to anyone that the ad truly worked. Advertisers tweak and A/B test ads to achieve higher engagements and better results.

A fixed rate model like you're suggesting limits the scalability of selling the same pair of eyeballs to 3-4+ advertisers. It forces google and content creators to attach a hard number to each visitor which is essentially upper bound by people's spending habits - if people are feeling poor, they can simply stop visiting websites to make ends meet!

Fir these reasons, I don't believe any advertising based company is ever truly going to get behind pay-as-you-go content. I've made my bet (see my profile for deets aka FD) and I'm in the process of quitting my job to put my money where my mouth is.
Sorry, i missed the TLDR part, the rest just jumped at me, because i've seen it so many times before.

I don't have any industry connections at all whatsoever (I'm a plain old software dev). I'm mainly interested in the whole anti GMO movement and related issues. As I see it there is a lot of misinformation out there, partly as a result anti GMO organisations pushing an anti science agenda and employing similar tactics to ones used by climate change denying groups.

So when I see those inaccurate claims repeated, I'm inclined to comment, always trying to cite reliable sources. So I do understand if my comment history looks like i'm some kind of industry shill (i've been called that on social media lots of times before).
I suppose that the concept I was trying to articulate was better expressed as follows: "It is quite unfortunate that the baseline "Hello World!"-type project for SDR is listening in to airliners' telemetry, as it is widely available by other means, entails RX-only skills and equipment, and does not really provide wide avenues for later development".

That is, of course, my personal opinion, but it is also something of a critique: wouldn't people be more excited if the baseline project involved TX/RX, obviously with slightly more involved hardware (and limited to ISM bands & transmission power limitations)?

If you want people carefully reading books, it is pretty easy to get a hold of that kind of data in the form of audio books and the work of Recording for the Blind and Dyslexic. Sure, it isn't chunked into sentences, but since you have all of the source text you could do a quite reasonable job automating the slicing, throw out places you aren't sure, and still have a near infinite amount of great data. (Note that it isn't like these sentences are perfect anyway, hence the filtering process with volunteers: while I was judging some audio files one of the issues was "person turned off microphone a little too soon".)

> "It usually is though. Cooking times however don't tend to scale predictably (except for microwaves)."

Not sure I agree. In my very limited experience, I have found that cooking times for microwaves do not scale predictably. For example warming up 2 packs of something seems to use less than double the amount of time for 1. I have had issues in the past of doubling or tripling the cooking time for double/triple the quantity and having food overcooked.
You're probably right. I remember reading that there are mundane explanations that are much more likely.
