I'm one of those hatin' cool kids, I guess. Coincidentally I'm also a millennial, one of those ignorant kinds who simply does not get what a Good Life™ we have, at this point in time, compared to the last decades and centuries. Yes, we have it better nowadays (but only some parts of the world), but it could also easily have been way, way better by now (or worse, of course).

Let me also say that I don't hate capitalism per se, it's more or less just a tool with no moral obligations. The problem with capitalism are the humans, like always, and Monopoly is perfect to experience the bad side of human nature: greed and the me vs. them attitude.

Do you think it would be possible to come up with rules for Monopoly, where everyone would be a winner, living in abundance? Absolutely, but that would be boring. If I can't be the best of all, then why bother. It's Me vs. Them, and totally screw Them...

Those people, whose families played Monopoly for long enough until now, and who were able to amass a lot of wealth and keep it within their small circle, they won't allow to change the rules. Because then they wouldn't be the Winner anymore. It's always Me First, and everyone else can die trying.

Edit: I've been really depressive the past 15 years, it started once I was old enough to realize how our world is run. The lack of empathy and social justice is really sickening. I tried to play the game, but I'm not good at it because I lack the attributes that are required to become good at it. I don't care about money, I just want to stay alive, take care of my family and code cool and useful things.

But I started to get a tiny little bit of hope that eventually things may drastically change in the future. Like I do think that we may be able to develop an AGI within this century. One that is rational and smarter than humans. I can totally understand Musks fear of an AGI that would try to destroy humanity (personally I hope it'd go only after the bad leadership :)), and while I think Musk has generally good intentions, he's still a hardcore capitalist, and I'm not sure if I want him and his buddies have too much say in this.

Another shorter term solution to some of the problems we have with capitalism is to setup systems based on Blockchain technologies. I'm really no expert in this area, but I believe it would be possible to set up a financial system that allows for transparency, privacy, but no anonymity and no speculations like we experience nowadays with cryptocurrencies. Something that prevents corruption, black money, etc.

Such blockchain technology could be also adapted for a voting system, where voter fraud then becomes impossible. One promising project I've recently discovered is Cardano SL [1], and the team behind it looks like they really want to make a change. I'll keep my fingers crossed.

I usually don't invite contributors to my own project. Instead, people who are interested will naturally begin to make more and more issues and pull requests as they get more into your project.

If you get a project out there, people interested in it will start to help out. Gradually, this turns into that person becoming a contributor to a project.
Use an API like TensorFlow serving (that uses gRPC actually iirc) or deep detect.
Worth noting that it doesn't work like that for the overwhelming majority of residences in the US. Only places where you have to pay a specific fire subscription.
We will not benefit from fewer people working..
It seems like this is the sort of thing that blockchain languages should be built on top of. Things like Etherium.

Sorry as this has been a long time coming for me. The air of arrogance of many of the most popular contributors such as tptacek (though sometimes (s)he, like others, is completely on point and adds to the discussion) has been causing a great amount of angst for quite a while. I don't like being increasingly disappointed in so many on a site I regard highly. Hopefully now that I've released a pressure valve, I can return to not interacting and just learning from those willing to share facts and rational arguments rather than assuming it matters how far they, in particular, give on a certain subject. Thanks for the warning.
Also there's a question of how many new hedge funds are using machine learning. If you have enough different attempts, one of them will beat the market by sheer game of chance. Picking out their specific quirks afterwards (algae etc.) is just survivor bias.
Not trying to excuse the bad behavior of the Physician disengaging from patient care, but often what's taking place is the Physician recording elements of the patient's history currently being relayed by the patient themselves and the examination in progress. This can't be done in advance of the exam (although they could be done after).

The fact that it's electronic enables administrators (emboldened by EMR/EHR vendors) to claim that "it's convenient" enough to be done in the room (faster than writing it down by hand or transcribed via recording after the exam ends).
Sounds like a great idea for a side project. Build a user friendly interface that leverages a remote vault server on the backend. It's primary use case if definitely for applications.

If you’re looking at $100-150k total comp, and expect to max out there, you should definitely move to Seattle.

If you’re interested in earning $300-400k/year after working for a BigCo for 4-5 years, Seattle isn’t going to work out to a better net savings/year.

I think it’s perfectly fine to max out at $100-150k. You’re still extremely rich by any standard. And startups in The Bay Area will pay you vastly less regardless, so Seattle may well be a better place for startups.

But I think you’re doing people a disservice if you convince them they’ll save more money working in Seattle than the Bay Area.

It's sad to see people with potential to create worthwhile things, get sucked into zero-sum financial games.

> The FSF copyright assignment grants you back the right to do what you wish with your code, including sell exceptions.

And can I enforce copyright for those exceptions?

Clearly not, because the FSF owns the copyright.
>Nothing wrong with those records being electronic.
Agreed.

But, you doctor likely is scheduled such that they have less than 45 minutes per patient including reviewing records. Additionally, the relevant records may have been gather during intake by a nurse or MA, so they aren't available in advance. Better EHR UX could probably alleviate this problem.
I know very little of Ethereum aside from the articles that pop up here, but I'm trying to compare this event to my existing currency. I have cash under my bed, i have it in 10+ accounts in financial institutions, and most of it is insured by the FDIC... so I've reduced my risk profile greatly.

Does ethereum/ether allow me offline wallets? Can i have multiple accounts/wallets and easily administrate them? Is any agency insuring this yet? If so, then isn't this also user-error here? Don't allow a wallet of $X size that you can't afford to have disappear?
Perhaps having mandatory face shots being part of the app (you can at least know what age demographic the strangers are in) as well as a blacklist (preferably hard to get on to avoid abuse). I would want to avoid a scoring system, that slips into "good person" quantification territory. For the second point I agree with your concept, but I don't have an idea for the implementation. Random matching?
China scale > USA scale

Although USA economy is still bigger than China, it might change soon and then your presumption would be dismissed.
Slightly off topic:

In the graph hedge funds have performed very badly against the S&P. Given the massive fees a lot of hedge funds charge: what is the incentive?
Anything up until Windows 10 - I'd have agreed with you. But Windows 10 is a whole different ball game. PowerShell is finally where it needs to be, native Docker, they have an official Ubuntu sub-system with various tools.

Honestly, this whole "WinDoze is lame" attitude is so 2008. Windows 10 is a great platform. And I say this as an Arch Linux user who just wasted 2 hours dicking around with DBus and NetworkManager because there are still 3-year-old unfixed bugs regarding Cisco VPN connections.
You have no idea of what you are talking about. Of course the doc also has to input the data he is gathering on the spot while talking to you. Plus, preparing files beforehand means sequential execution. Hospitals don't like that. They want parallel execution. As in doing it all at once, at the expense of patient comfort, with the aim of cramming as much work as possible in the minimum time.
I work on an EHR. I work in a hospital on an EHR that is used in a network of about 20 hospitals. A frequent complaint I tend to hear is that the doctors just want to be busy with their patient and not with the software. We try to make the software as easy to use as possible, but it is still slower than them just working on paper for many things (like sharing notes quickly between them and their assistants).

On the other hand, I do think that an EHR can be a good thing. Because we work closely with the doctors we can tweak things to their liking. Some departments spent a great deal more time on tweaking the software (mostly younger doctors) and that pays off for them. They lose less time with the software and the software becomes an aid for them - as it should be.

It does not happen in every department of all of the 20 something hospitals, but it _can_ be good.

From what I have seen in this industry - the worst thing you can do as a hospital is buy an EHR package by a company that is not working closely with others in the medical field. You need communication between the departments and the engineers, and a short release-cycle surely helps.
I worked there for two years. Loved the people there, but the engineering definitely wasn't great. Imagine a Java application that started in 2000 and hasn't really had any significant rewrites and is now too big to change. They run a good business and offer a lot of value to companies who use their product, but the engineering was definitely tough in the not-so-fun way due to the sheer amount of legacy code.
A cultureless void. That is honestly one of the most ignorant things I've ever heard. The bay area has culture coming out of its ears. Try getting outside of the tech/startup/VC bubble. For a very basic and accessible start go walk around First Friday in Oakland and talk to some people that you normally wouldn't.
...And why didn't their employees want to move from those sky high San Francisco rents? I hear rents are really cheap in West Oakland! Back we go to my original point.
Curious, why do you have to remember that 2 + 2 = 4 & 3 + 2 = 5? Once you know the values the symbols represent, at that point isn't it similar in simplicity to roman numerals?

II + II = IIII

2 + 2 = 4

Don't see how the latter problem lends itself to any more memorization beyond symbols
More interesting would be if anyone can find a physician who actually "appreciates" EHRs. I watched a few with 50+ years in practice decide to retire upon Epic rollout.

EHRs are a farce. They've made a few people very wealthy at the cost of widespread misery for patients and doctors.
We actually wrote a blog post that we link to anyone wanting to contribute to our project and we simply link that if anyone shows any interest.

Here is the project : https://learn-anything.xyz/

And here is the article we link to : https://learn-anything.github.io/2017/06/15/contributing.htm...

It saves quite a lot of time as we try to cover all the ways in which one can help with the project there.

Very true. I've tested this thoroughly and it won't. Obviously there's always a residual risk, which I've mitigated by moving the panel to a window further back on the roof. Then I'm going to see if the panel's moved after a year. Another solution would be outdoor glue, but that messes with the ephemeral nature of the project. Thanks for the input!!

"Better never means better for everyone."

On a serious note, though, two things I think about when I'm at the doctor and they're just typing in what we're talking about:

* It's an evolving tech; it'll slowly change
* How happy the doctor and patient are with the system isn't measured, and therefore "doesn't matter".

I'm not particularly worried about other applications on my computer listening to the clipboard. But I 99% of the time I'm pasting into a webpage in Chrome or Firefox. Can any open tab sniff the clipboard passively?
This is essentially a certain type of cognitive bias I think (halo effect?), where people take someone's high skill or talent in one area and assume it carries to another field. For example, assuming a chess grandmaster will be good at business strategy, or a great mathematician an automatically great engineer. These examples are convaluted but anecdotally I've seen it in action in recruiting.

Also 'the map is not the territory', all models will be unable to deal with all possible behaviours of the reality they are dealing with in a correct way.
FWIW, many of these negative comments that I read and most remembered as making powerful points happily admitted, as part of the criticism (not a hedge against it), that the security issues inherent in Ethereum are due to the very factors that might have made it successful (such as making web developers think they can now write smart contracts by offering a language that looks like JavaScript and is even as quirky as JavaScript, and sweeping verification under the rug).

I actually see lots of parallels to companies like StackMob, Parse, and Firebase, which launched incredibly insecure "serverless" database products that didn't even support any notion of security and even as they added security would almost encourage "anyone can read and even write all of your data" in the documentation as even mentioning security in a tutorial made the product look hard to use.

But the result, of course, was that there were even companies offering dating apps that even claimed in their marketing "we are actually secure, unlike others", which were listed as featured users on the StackMob website, where you could just dump their entire database--including both offline Facebook access tokens for all the supposedly-anonymous users as well as the entire database of what they were saying to each other in their supposedly-private messages--as it was all public.

The market is fundamentally incapable of optimizing for secure products in the same way it is incapable of optimizing for open products. Both of these properties of a product are too complex for users to analyze and the benefits often come in some difficult to measure effect that happens on some difficult to predict timescale. We need to work on this problem before the "Internet of things" becomes too popular and we hit truly dystopian levels of insecure centrally-controlled products.
I mean artistic quality, as in good art in general. And why should we care about awful games? I buy games which are interesting to me, not based on their budget size.
Re: the latest Performance RNN, discussing their "best sounding" output.

>Note that this isn’t a performance of an existing piece; the model is also choosing the notes to play, “composing” a performance directly. The performances generated by the model lack the overall coherence that one might expect from a piano composition; in musical jargon, it might sound like the model is “noodling”— playing without a long-term structure. However, to our ears, the local characteristics of the performance (i.e. the phrasing within a one or two second time window) are quite expressive.

It's understandable to be encouraged by progress, but to my ears, it's not really expressive other than the first thought that I had when listening to the piece:

"That piano player is having a stroke, somebody should do something to help."
> Apple Watch was, for my purposes, inferior to the Peak in several ways... it had no HR monitor...

Every single model of Apple Watch since launch has shipped with the same optical HR measurement system (IIRC teardowns of gen 2 confirm this), working on largely the same principle as the optical system on the Peak watch.

It's hard to know if the returns are statistically significant given annual returns, but I'm sure he's providing more granular statistics to investors. Kinda annoying how the articles hypes this by distinguishing it from statistical models since he is obviously running some sort of statistical model as well.

In general, people have a poor understanding of how to evaluate an investment manager. It's not enough to just look at absolute returns and compare them to the S&P, you need to correct for market exposure (the beta). Even then, it is not that straightforward: this is one of the best overviews I've seen (the author of the blog, Robert Frey, was a former managing director at Renaissance Technologies, the most successful hedge fund of all time)

http://keplerianfinance.com/2013/07/alpha-and-evaluating-inv...

To make the "correcting for exposure" aspect concrete, suppose you have the opportunity to invest in a poker player that generates a 10% return on capital per year. It wouldn't really make sense to compare this return to the S&P 500 returns, because the beta is very close to 0.
Serious question: does your company have a clause in the service contract that forbids disclosing, documenting, or photographing potentially catastrophic bugs in the software?

I believe some Roman inscriptions were found to use additive, i.e. III + I = IIII, VI + III = VIIII. Certainly I feel that nobody would look at IIII and be confused as to what it represents.
The whole reason the DAO hard fork worked was because the funds were locked until a certain date. The hackers couldn't access them until after that date, so the hard fork before that date resulted in no hacked ETH being traded for USD (or anything else).
The same people who make 300-400k in San Francisco, also do so in Seattle. I don't know where your getting your information from, but all existing stats disagree with you for a reason.

> "He says EHRs now function primarily as documentation for billing and quality reporting rather than as an aid to doctors."

This is the money quote right there. EHRs are purchased by hospital administrators, the people who are worried about cost and compliance. They are the ones who get to dictate the features to the EHR vendor in the selection process. Yes clinical staff is consulted but usability is only ever a consideration when a high-enough ranking doctor goes on a rant about it.
No purely non-technical individuals as far as I know, but there are a number of non-developer analysts using it who wouldn't otherwise have much exposure to a console. The flexibility of the access policies and the ability for users to easily/securely share secrets under a path with only their team and be able to have multiple policies for multiple teams all under one roof far outweighs any minor struggle during initial adoption.
Its not really worth it. Very over complicated. Really they just need to do code/data deduplication on chain somehow and forget about using contracts as libraries in this way.
I really don't understand the point of this. Do we need a computer to help us add to the vast store of music nobody ever listens to? Reminds me of Douglas Adams's electric monks
I'm a fan of both sides of the Coq and Isabelle/HOL activities. I'm keeping an eye on CertiCoq. Right now, though, Isabelle/HOL seems to be ahead with work like Myreen and Davis's in terms of verified stacks:

https://www.cl.cam.ac.uk/~mom22/

This data structure refinement with one version getting automated to a large degree:

https://www21.in.tum.de/~lammich/pub/cpp2016_impds.pdf

Thanks to DeepSpec, Coq might exceed that in some ways:

https://deepspec.org/main

Note that a lot of work around Coq goes through CompCert which is proprietary software with restrictions on how it's used if one doesn't pay. The Isabelle/HOL alternatives like Simpl/C and CakeML are free software. Then, outside those two, we got a bunch of work being done in Maude (esp K Framework) with one an executable, formal semantics for C done like a compiler:

And... can you enforce copyright on such a program?

No, because the FSF owns the copyright. They have to do it.

Or maybe the program has mixed copyright (you and the FSF), in which case the same problem (and solution) applies for mixed-copyright software.

So how exactly, does assigning copyright to the FSF make anything better for anyone? It helps the FSF, sure. But everyone else (including the author) is negatively impacted by it.

In contrast, if copyright remains with the author, then the only thing the FSF would lose is the ability to sue for infringement of the code you contributed.

They could still sue for infringement of the code that they own.
