I am a Data Scientist with Master's in Neural Networks so I do understand the challenges in preparing data for modeling. I am merely suggesting the option of exploring the problem of finding patterns in data through ML techniques. This does not take away the work involved in preparing clean data sets for training. Here are some Astronomers who are doing this kind of work. https://www.wired.com/2017/03/astronomers-deploy-ai-unravel-... I agree I don't understand the nature of data NASA has but it does not hurt getting some help from companies that are searching for problems to solve.

Software is less like mechanical engineering and more like industrial engineering or systems engineering.

Designing an assembly line to build a car vs designing a car.

The difference even with those disciplines is that with code, any specification sufficiently detailed to replicate the product is the product.

An architect can design a blueprint for a house and send it to 3 different builders and they will each build more or less the exact same house.

But if you write a software spec and send it to 3 different software teams, you will get 3 very different products. If you try to write a sufficiently detailed spec to avoid this problem, you'll just end up writing code.
If you are intending to build this for privately-held shares I think you'll run into a few issues. The biggest one would be understanding price.

If you're talking about for public-market shares then this seems useful.
You can't just sign up for the bar exam in California. Your options in decreasing popularity are...

* Graduate from an ABA-accredited law school.

* Graduate from a California accredited law school.

* Graduate from an unaccredited law school, after taking the baby bar after your first year.

* Finish a four year legal apprenticeship program, taking the baby bar after your first year.

Unless you've done one of those things, you cannot sit for the bar exam in California.
I'd highly recommend this book. The math is decently sophisticated, but it has a lot of cool insights.

I think you have to make a distinction between the benefits of automation to society and its impact on labor.

When you do, I think you'll find that automation is not the problem, but our means of distributing access to resources. In other words, it's a false choice: in a different system, we could all receive the benefits of automation and have ready access to the abundant resources necessary for our individual sustenance.
Fantastic Sergio! I'm glad v0.3 has landed :D
I didn't say it wasn't useful, UBI is using money still? It's all about distribution of resources.
Which still doesn't tell you which features are missing because of the missing incentive, or how much more you then have to pay to get the new features (which is a different way to say: which features you wouldn't get if you were to pay the same price as otherwise).

Yes, of course, essentially nothing is monocausal, but that doesn't mean my point was fundamentally wrong: The subscription model (and by that I don't mean the setup where you have a contract for regular updates that you could just cancel and keep using the version you have now) removes the old version you already have as a competitor to the new version that you could pay for. That is most likely not going to be to the advantage of the customer, whichever form that disadvantage may take.
They owned at least 25% of the company at one point, but it was well after it started and gained critical mass, or liquidity in this case. My filter for this piece allowed for companies that raised money, but only if they managed to run independently, for a few years at least.

Like you, I'm flabbergasted about the amount of funding they received, not only because it's bad economically, but also ecologically. And the target demographic is likely going to be more sensitive to the amount of garbage a Keurig-ified juicer will produce over its lifetime.
Well, there's human-generated data, and there's computer-generated data. The former is tiny but more dynamic, and where we want all of these nice creature comforts. The latter can be large, but workflows tend to be static so there's less need for these features.

This is generally called corruption, when a politician uses their political influence to give favors and influence to family and friends.

This kind of corruption is not necessarily illegal if you do it right, but it's looked down upon because it means you're using the office for personal gain rather than the gain of your constituents.
Rocket uses compiler plugins to do its magic, and compiler plugins aren't stable.
What would you educate people to do? For example, getting a degree in Library Science with hopes of becoming a librarian would definitely not help them get a job because people are moving to digital delivery for books and this will only increase. So, I hope you have courses in mind which would make them valuable even after all menial jobs that we can think of now are automated away.
Good questions. The brief of it is that it's known if you increase money available for education, educational institutes will increase their fees- the same goes for landlords and rent - and pretty much everything which leads to inflation; the more of a necessity something is will generally dictate who benefits the most from these cost increases and pressure on systems. There will have to be a floor created for housing, food, transportation, etc. Most of what we need can be automated, heavily automated. We'll have to decide as a society what people should have a baseline for everything. Fitting that new system in the existing system is the tricky part.
I don't see how that scenario makes any sense. If the rich and upper middle class could maintain such lifestyles by themselves + automation then why wouldn't others have access to it?? Will the robots refuse to work for the poor?
Rust Stable is great, but not all of the macro (the Macro 2.0 stuff) support is on the stable release channel yet. There are still some things you can't do on stable (or can do, but inconveniently).

(Rocket also depends on a few other nightly only features. Things will likely change in the future once the Macro stuff stabilizes though)

There is also the matter of compiler plugins... which may never land in stable.

Anyone interested in this might enjoy reading about Cardinal Giuseppe Mezzofanti[1] and other "hyperpolyglots" in Michael Erard's Babel No More.[2]

An excerpt from the Introduction:

"...Mezofanti liked to quip that he knew 'fifty languages and Bolognese.' During his lifetime, he put enough of those on display -- among them Arabic and Hebrew (biblical and Rabbinic), Chaldean, Coptic, Persian, Turkish, Albanian, Maltese, certainly Latin and Bolognese, but also Spanish, Portuguese, French, German, Dutch, and English, as well as Polish, Hungarian, Chinese, Syrian, Amharic, Hindustani, Gujarati, Basque, and Romanian -- that he frequently appeared in rapturous accounts of visitors to Bologna and Rome. Some compared him to Mithradates, the ancient Persian king who could speak the language of each of the twenty-two territories he governed. The poet Lord Byron, who once lost a multilingual cursing contest with Mezzofanti, called him 'a monster of languages, the Briareus of parts of speech, a walking polyglott, and more, -- who ought to have existed at the time of the Tower of Babel, as universal interpreter.' ...

"On one occasion, Pope Gregory XVI (1765-1846), a friend of Mezzofanti, arranged for dozens of international students to surprise him. When the signal was given, the students knelt before Mezzofanti and then rose quickly, talking to him 'each in his own tongue, with such an abundance of words and such a volubility of tone, that, in the jargon of dialects, it was almost impossible to hear, much less to understand them.' Mezzofanti didn't flinch but 'took them up singly, and replied to each in his own language.' The pope declared the cardinal to be victorious. Mezzofanti could not be bested."

It seems like kairos is like Csikszentmihalyi's flow. It's time that passes while you are engaged, active, purposeful -- living rather than waiting.

The article itself says:

"Last year, just 62 percent of first-time test takers passed the California bar exam, compared with 83 percent in New York."

The 83% are also in your data if you focus on the ABA schools only. That means failure rates are 17% and 38%, respectively, or a factor of 2.2x.

The student populations of NY and CA are probably comparable, and in any case, as the article points out, the tests are largely identical; the differences mostly stem from differing score requirements.

I'm sure there will be many snide comments about lawyers in this thread, but most law students I've come across have appeared intelligent, serious, and conscientious. I doubt that a system that cuts half of them can be considered reasonable–though I'm not sure what the consequences are? Here in 'old Europe" there are limits on how often you can take such exams–usually 3x. If you fail the third time, you may have spent 8 years studying law and end up legally barred from ever getting any degree.

>At what point would you say that there is "too much automation"?

That's an interesting question. My main problem with automation is the way it is currently being used. Rather than being used to benefit workers, i.e to mean they must work fewer hours, in many cases the workers are simply re-purposed, none of the benefit from the machinery making its way to them. It is the pursuit of short-term profit which I think is the real problem. Now the usualy response to this is something along the lines of "that's true, but the consumers benefit". But what good is the benefit of the consumer if he must still work the same amount even with the machinery?

I think it's possible to have one's cake and eat it too. The usage and appropriate advancement of machinery to the maximum (which is not currently possible) but rather than being used for profit to be used for the benefit of workers and mankind in general. Within capitalism there is a paradox: you want to automate for short-term profit, but with too much automation you run out of people to buy back the products they make, or they don't have high enough wages to do that anyway (note how very rarely can one buy back an hour of simplified labour with an hour's wage). Capitalism thrives on the fact that automation is good, but not too good.

Holding back or reversing automation is completely the wrong answer. The correct answer is to use automation to reduce labour hours and make way for the enrichment of the individual, as poet and author Oscar Wilde wrote about in his book The Soul of Man Under Socialism and indeed so did Russian anarchist philosopher Kropotkin since the 19th century. That said, I am not optimistic - overproduction will continue and the crisis cycle repeats until it is no longer sustainable, either due to the environmental impact of pursuit of profit or the contradictions of capital accumulation.
Why? I wouldn't expect any lawyer to have the law completely memorized. I'd rather hire one that spends their time studying cases and strategies, and has to look up the details of statutes once in a while.

What you described is literally what we offer -- the ability to go backwards and forwards in time and create branches, bookmarks, and refreshes with very little overhead. [Edit: This is all for databases that by default, as you noted, don't do any of this stuff.]

Maybe spend $100 a day if you really want a servant?
Thanks for pointing it out. I edited the title to say "drop in your stock" rather than Market drop. Agree on the indexes part.

Say for example one has $GOOGL or $AAPL in the $100K range. A 20-30% drop would wipe out a solid chunk. Maybe planning to take out some in a year or so for a downpayment ..etc and the stock is down that much. Now you are left waiting out for N years for the correction to play out. Why not then spend say a couple of thousands, get some puts and hedge?
An Apple move would be building a car without windows and telling me that it's progress.
I have no idea if this is within the rules, but another option could be to use the "Gift This App" function to generate paid, non-expiring promo codes instead (send it to yourself). You'd incur the 30% App Store revenue cut this way in addition to any sales tax.

She basically just throws out bootcamp grads have better soft skills with nothing to back that up.

If that's true, and I've never seen any actual evidence to believe that it is, my guess is that it's because bootcamp grads are older the CS grads in general.

They're usually career switchers and they have experience from that previous career. You really shouldn't be comparing a 35 year old ex-teacher, or a 28 year old law school grad to a 22 year old CS grad on the soft skills front.

It's not about exports, but imports. China has a policy of developing an in-house capability for everything and importing only raw materials.

Top US exports to China (2012):

1. Soybeans: $15 billion

2. Civilian aircraft: $8.4 billion

3. Cotton: $3.4 billion

4. Copper materials: $3 billion

5. Passenger vehicles (small engines): $3 billion

6. Aluminum materials: $2.4 billion

7. Passenger vehicles (large engines): $2.2 billion

8. Electronic integrated circuits: $1.7 billion

9. Corn: $1.3 billion

10. Coal: $1.2 billion

It's official China policy to catch up in aircraft engines [1] and ICs [2] and stop importing those. The private sector in China seems to be advancing on the automotive front, with the help of high tariffs on US car imports.[3] The US will be allowed to sell China soybeans, cotton, corn, and some coal.

> make all password databases public, in an encrypted form

That is a terrible idea because agencies like the NSA or GCHQ with unfathomable resources and techniques will crack them and never tell anyone. Then you'll have a compromised account, the provider won't know, the user won't know. Then the agency would be able to compromise the account a publish whatever they wanted as that identity.

Given there are tricks to mask an IP address, or they straight up tap the wires, that's a #1 way to character assassinate any dissident or someone who they dislike.

> This is to get rid of the fiction that these are ever private and to eliminate an incentive to break in.

And why do you assume criminals wouldn't also try to gain access to the systems? Passwords aren't typically the valuable information in a system, they're there to protect the more valuable data.

It depends on the hash type. Cryptographic hashes (MD4, SHA1, SHA256, etc.) are made to be efficient and fast to compute while password hashes (bcrypt, scrypt, etc.) are much more difficult to compute. The difference is staggering.

john --test --format=nt

Benchmarking: NT [MD4 128/128 X2 SSE2-16]... DONE

Raw:	29037K c/s real, 29037K c/s virtual

john --test --format=bcrypt

Will run 16 OpenMP threads

Benchmarking: bcrypt ("$2a$05", 32 iterations) [Blowfish 32/64 X3]... (16xOMP) DONE

Raw:	5472 c/s real, 490 c/s virtual

Edit: NT hashes are one round of MD4. These are Microsoft Active Directory hashes. OpenBSD uses Blowfish hashes by default.
The bar exam has very little to do with actually practicing law.
For my project, I just drove headless chrome w/ the debug API (remote debugging protocol) directly from Python--it was very straightforward.

Headless chrome makes much of these existing frameworks redundant, IMHO. Unless you have a suite of existing test cases in some framework, I'd consider just driving Chrome directly and skipping the overhead and external dependencies.
Yes, only for publicly traded stocks. Since they have Options listings and it will be easy to pick various strike prices, expiration dates and then compare multiple strategies. Think of it as a table of time-lines, costs (risk/premium paid), amount protected (reward). Thanks for your encouraging feedback.
Computer Science isn't Software Engineering...
a simple unsalted hash wouldn't work due to rainbow-tabling, and even a salted hash would be vulnerable to someone gaining unauthorized access to the salt and regenerating a rainbow table with it (although if one used bcrypt, that might be practically impossible)
As noted in the article, the exams are largely identical–only the required score is different. Having once attended a beautiful law lecture on the similarities of American Indian law and the law of high seas, I can state with some certainty that the Ivy league law schools aren't really a hotbed of teaching the daily grind of local court.

Go for it! Here is a good quote from the article from Fr. Foster:

"Latin is the best thing that ever happened to humanity. It leaves you zero room for nonsense. You don’t have to be a genius. But it requires laser-sharp concentration and total maturity. If you don’t know what time of day it is, or what your name is, or where you are, don’t try Latin because it will smear you on the wall like an oil spot."
Hustling is not that hard if your father-in-law is the president and your wife is a government official. Sounds more like blatant nepotism.
>There are bad apples

People say this about the police frequently, but seemingly just as frequently forget the tail end of the saying!

This confuses me because it is used in defense of the police. With the full expression in mind, the saying perfectly describes the situation we are in (in America) today. We should be very concerned about the "bad apples", due to the strength of police unions, friendships with DA's, the "Thin Blue Line" etc.
