It seems like GP is calculating 20 years worth of subscription cost.

Here in Seattle there is an intersection between Belmont Avenue and Belmont Place, two blocks away from the intersection of Bellevue Avenue, Bellevue Place, and Bellevue Court. You might think that such an improbable intersection would be located within the city of Bellevue itself - but no, that's across the lake, ten miles east.

"As a scientist, I must follow my obligation to the truth, reporting what I find in my experiments, whether I like the results or not. My focus is not on determining whether I like or approve of something; it matters only that I can unveil it."

I get the scientist part, the dispassionate reporter of what happened, regardless of what I want to have happened. That last phrase though - "it matters only that I can unveil it" - bothers me. I think this is a fundamental error of science. The pendulum has swung too far, to say that it is not only ok, but indeed required to ignore morality. To not ask even "should I be attempting to unveil" this. The opposite side of the spectrum is dangerous as well (not venturing into questions ever, because of overly strict moral codes or dogmas).

Interesting to see that an AI researcher holds much the same set of fears I'd expect many computer science type workers to hold. I was expecting a set of counter-culture fears instead of what I consider the "typical" positions.

The way I see it, my job isn't to just blindly implement what the business thinks they want. It's a two way thing. If a set of business rules are too complex and convoluted, I explain that this incurs a cost, in increased likelihood of bugs, and slowdown of future development. We then think about how we can simplify the rules, or reduce complexity elsewhere. In one such case, we agreed with the business to remove an entire feature, to make the new feature more robust and easier to develop. I deleted 1/3 of a codebase as a result, ultimately the overall complexity of the system was substantially reduced after the new feature. It was immensely satisfying.

It's obvious to everyone that ripping up Net Neutrality is a deeply unpopular position, to everyone except the industry groups that will hire him as a lobbyist after he leaves the FCC. I sincerely doubt the number of comments on the FCC's website are going to affect his agenda.

Trump's interest in scrapping Net Neutrality is the main thing driving this, and probably the main reason Ajit was appointed to chairman. I did some digging on this during Data Rescue Boston, and Trump's only public comment on this (that I was able to find) makes it clear he doesn't know the difference between Net Neutrality and the Fairness Doctrine. https://twitter.com/realdonaldtrump/status/53260835850816716...

For those that don't know about this, the Fairness Doctrine was a set of now defunct FCC rules that required broadcasters "to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was — in the Commission's view — honest, equitable, and balanced". The idea was that broadcast frequencies are considered public property licensed to private entities, so the broadcasters should try to be a public good for all Americans rather than becoming a partisan political weapon. IMHO it has almost nothing in common with Net Neutrality.

Im not sure there's any correlation between young men who are sitting idle and what I was referring to.
There are men who do not have children, some gay men for example, who are highly productive members of society.

The selection bias that you indirectly refer to is already happening. And with the availability of ivf, what I am referring to is already happening as well amongst lesbian and gay couples and single educated women who haven't met the right person yet. And what's to stop it? If people who are smart, successful, but haven't found the right mate or don't want to get married, go gamete shopping and find the ideal set of genes, and produce the ideal child - how do other children without these advantages compete against them? My guess is that other potential parents then start going the same route, especially if marriage is on the decline anyhow.

I don't think it leads to violence and truthfully it's not something I even condone without further thought.

regarding property, the addition of a prenuptial or postnuptial rider to the main marriage contract makes it quite flexible and negotiable. I guess without you using more words, I won't understand what the actual specific concern is.

Without the contract of some sort in place, its not so different than operating a business without a contract. You may think you know the outcome of an interaction, but without a contract its completely unknown in actuality.

The host rented to the guest knowing she was Asian from the start. She didn't have a problem with her race at that point. Things only got nasty once they got nasty.

If you had a nasty fight with someone, and it ended with that person saying, "Well, it's because you're white (or Indian or whatever you are). That's why," would you immediately assume this person hated everyone of your race? Or would you assume you'd gotten under his skin enough that he reached down into his bag of dirty insults and pulled out anything he could find to hit you with?

It'd be one thing if this host never rented to Asians, or responded to an initial query with a message like, "I don't rent to Asians."

But in this case, it looks like a nasty fight between two women, one of whom picked the wrong (politically sensitive) angle to insult the other on, and the other who decided to play up the victim card and record video of herself crying and make a big sob story, and collect a nice little payday for the trouble.

I'd be very curious to know more about Miss Suh's background. In my experience with these sorts of cases, it is rarely the plaintiff's first rodeo.
Good suggestion! From what we've heard from academic users, they'll want a DOI for a specific version, e.g., data from a particular paper or journal article. Any thing else we should watch out for?

Not wanting to rent to Asians isn't a fair housing violation. Not renting to Asians is. She did, in fact, come to a rental agreement with the Asian woman. The desire to not rent to Asians was not stated until after the agreement had been broken for a different (and valid) reason.

>So you think this person is racist, but that they don't act like it?

No, I think this person is not racist, but acted like one in the heat of the argument.

>You're assuming that they wouldn't have treated a white person behaving the same way differently, even though you KNOW this person is very easily triggered into racist tirades?

If I understood this correctly, I don't see how that follows.

>I'm sure she's very nice to OTHER, better behaving Asian law students

She was nice for most of the conversation that is available until the guest kept adding dogs and people to the arrangement even though the host said they can't allow dogs.

Having watched the video, I am pretty sure the guest specifically tried to get a reaction that she could use and was successfully able to do so. Some of the conversation is missing and I hope the host makes it public to make matters clear.

Like AvE says, it's really not. Elegant engineering is exactly meeting your design requirements (assuming your design requirements are good). It's far far easier to overengineer everything. It's also wasteful, since all that extra capacity won't be utilized.

Data cleaning is so necessary. `build.yml` already supports a limited set of feature (through pandas). In addition to custom data transformations, any "out of the box" cleaning functions you'd like? In the spirit of dplyr? We've looked at e.g. scikit feature for normalization, 1-of-n encoding, etc.
This sounds horrible. And I say this as someone who's been contributing to open source since.. like 15 years?
What does meaningful even mean? I sometimes spend hours and days trying to reproduce and triage a bug, not even talking about fixing it. How is any reasonably sized open source project different than a closed source inhouse code base (ok, usually the docs are better or exist at all) - do they really expect people to spend multiple working days on a job interview?

If you as an interviewee happen to find the proposed projects interesting or be contributing anyway, it's actually quite awesome, but even a big open source advocate this hiring method doesn't really seem practicable to me.

You are presuming people or racism is logical. It is common for someone to say one thing then mean another, it is so common we even have words for it.

It is also entirely possible the racist person did this intentionally to maximize the inconvenience to the renter. There are hundred other ways to explain this. Some racist and some not racist, but dropping phrases as overtly racist as hers has a way of sounding truthful in situation like this.
> "a bank" is just some paperwork

No, a bank is typically a corporation with the shareholders you mentioned, who have immense interests in the longevity of the company.

> The reason a banking executive might want to issue bad loans is, they raise short-term profits, which translate into incentive-based bonuses.

How do they raise short term profits? The bank just gave away X dollars for the loan. The profits are only projected on paper, and they assume a given interest profit on inflation and compared to the nominal interest rate. So don't you see how holding artificially low interest rates would distort this process? And don't you see how government programs to repackage and subsidize parts of this debt would incentivize more of it?

What I truly don't understand is how so many people believe that the banking sector all of a sudden got greedier than usual in concert. There is a reason that their actions follow economic incentives, and the negative ones are largely following stimuli introduced by the government in the early 2000's.

Does making racist comments you don't believe make you a racist? Does giving compliments you don't believe make you a nice person?

I seriously don't know. I want to say yes, but maybe not?

I was thinking about this in another context today. When people piss you off, many people (including myself) want to say things to them that will illicit a negative reaction. Often, offensive words seem like a good choice to accomplish that goal. If telling someone "you're a responsible human being who loves his mother" caused someone to be offended, lots of people would say that when they are angry.

I'm totally on the judges sides in this case, once those words come out of your mouth there is no going back and you should be responsible for them.

I guess I just wonder if there is a relatively easy and sure-fire way to piss people off without being offensive? What's a better way for people to express their anger in a childish way ?

Honestly, for all the hand-wringing over globalization, I think it has been a necessary stopgap for the wholesale destruction of low-skilled jobs by automation that's coming in the next few decades. It's forced us to recognize the problems over the last several decades: the structure of human civilization is changing quickly, and people don't adapt that fast.

Regardless of the societal cost, companies individually have to retain competitive advantage / parity. Automation will be a boon for individual companies, which means it will be an arms race among competitors in an industry. Tragedy of the commons and all.

So it doesn't matter if globalization is good or bad. It is our reality because individual companies will always be looking to gain an advantage whether that's through offshoring or automation. The impact of automation will be far worse for the individual in society than the impact of globalization.

All of this leads to even more wealth inequality as the value in the economy is increasingly captured by capital rather than labor. I think we're in for a messy few decades as we figure out how to restructure our societal institutions to work in the new world.
That's a false conclusion, in my opinion. There are plenty of startups in which money could be put in, but of course "smart investors" don't invest in all startups that may show-up at their doors. So they choose to save their billions and billions of dollars in Cayman Islands. That money goes largely unused in the economy.

Also, the vast majority of startups aren't funded by VCs or angel investors, but through personal economies and loans - again, an issue that depends on the strength of the middle class.

Her core hypothesis that experts can often get stuck "inside the box" is certainly valid, but on the other hand "I sat down and solved complex engineering problems in a few minutes with pencil and paper" (almost an exact quote from the talk) is just plain dumb. Not to mention the not subtle implication that good engineers are all socially retarded...
I am a scientist who sometimes publishes data sets with academic papers and this looks super useful both as a tool and as a potential publishing best practice. Currently doing away with HDF5 and figshare. One necessary future for academia would be to be able to assign a DOI to a given version of data. Is it feasible for quilt to have such a feature?
Current student here - I went through a bootcamp and have been autodidacting ever since. I've gone through coursera, udacity, edx, MIT OCW, Stanford Lagunitas, OSS's computer science program, and finally Bradfield. Bradfield was by far and large the best experience I've had learning advanced material. Oz (commenting above), is the most talented and natural pedagogue I've met.

The best thing about Bradfield though is that it has the feel of a lifestyle business run by people whose call to arms in life is learning and teaching computer science. This isn't an interview skills factory - the focus is on learning and loving an important and fascinating branch of science, mathematics, and thinking. Personally, I think that difference ultimately makes you a better interviewer and engineer in practice, but again, that's not the point.

Still one of the best decisions I've made yet.
