If I remember correctly Texas has at least one thing that can be done, an ex-con can petition the court to seal their records, which is similar in effect.

You're also forgetting that if you set up something on your own you also have all the hardware concerns as well. You need to procure hosts, provision them properly, deploy them, monitor them, scale them, fix them. That infrastructure cost doesn't go to zero but it is significantly reduced using a cloud provider.
Well, like I said Slick is not an ORM whereas Diesel is. Slick is not as much about an ORM abstraction, but writing SQL queries in Scala by leveraging it's collections library, taking advantage of Scala's advanced features such as operator overloading, etc.

For instance this is an example from Diesel:

Post::belonging_to(user).load(&connection)

And this is how it would look like in Slick:

Post.filter(_.userID === 1).result

So both of the above would translate into SQL "SELECT * FROM posts WHERE user_id = 1", however Slick is more explicit whereas Diesel definitely feels like an ORM. The tripple equals in Slick example for instance is a nice touch and an example of operator overloading, because userID could be of type Integer or Option[Integer] (nullable field) and it would work both ways.
I tried to cite much related work on co-routines and threading libraries in C -- including Simon Tatham's page on co-routines in C [1] -- But I was not yet aware of the work on Icon nor did I know co-routines were used in PuTTY -- thanks! Although now that I reread Simon's page I see he actually mentions PuTTY explicitly :-)

As an aside, I feel algebraic effect handlers are safer to use than most coroutine or shift/reset implementations because they offer more structure. As put by others:
"Algebraic Effects+Handlers" are to "delimited continuations" as "while" is to "goto"

Self-sacrifice is admirable when family and dependents don't suffer from it. Realistically, most startups fail and it's negligent to place one's family on the line given the odds of failure.

Even for the sake of accumulating debt, it may not be wise (who knows when you'll need to take a loan for groceries, tuition, etc.)

I really hate how this attitude is so abundant, and rarely comes from somebody who knows what it is to live check-to-check, already be maxed out on loans, support a family, and still build something on the side.

And in kubernetes land, you can run an ubuntu container and do that just as well. Except, you'll lose out on having all the shared resources and state of your host machine. If that sounds scary to you, you should take a minute to think about it the other way - Under the mesos realm, every process can modify the state shared by every other process. If that hasn't convinced you off mesos, than I wish you all the luck you deserve, but not the luck you'll need.
Sure, you can lose your job because you can't get to your job, or you can???

I'm sorry what alternative are you offering? We live in a society where driving is most necessary for those who can least afford it. I think you may grossly misunderstand how difficult life is for people struggling to get by.

You are right, that poor choices can lead someone to a scenario where there are no good choices though. Most of this chain can be broken by just taking some time to take care of their life, but that is not always as simple as it sounds. Right now I personally have societal+familial+work obligations that total 17+hrs daily and I'm lucky to get 6hrs sleep, 3 uninterrupted. I am not poor, and I'm lucky to have a very flexible job, so I could take time to deal a minor fine so it didn't escalate past early court escalations, but I'm not sure I'd be able to trivially take time off to deal with a court appearance if I had a more demanding job, I don't have a lot of flexibility elsewhere to borrow from.

Never forget that it's easy to judge someone's actions from outside, but in their same mental state and reality constraints, you may make the same decisions.

Canada has a reputation as a "softer, gentler" version of the US. I'm aware this is probably a gross distortion but the one topic about Canada where I hear more disturbing stories than any other is in relation to the amount of regulatory (or judicial/legislative) capture around copyright issues.

Does the Canadian copyright lobby have friends in very high places? Or compromising photos of friends in very high places?

More seriously - what gives? How comes it appears that the Canadian system seems so one-sided on anything IP related? Or is it just an artefact of getting my Canada news from HN?

I agree, not only that, but at least with Cisco gear FCoE was a real pain in the behind to manage and configure. So much duplication in configuration and settings across a lot of gear, and it never was as smooth as they made it out to be.

> we know nearly nothing about the effects of variation on complex traits like intelligence

This is changing at an astonishing rate, though. The development of GWAS combined with huge genetic datasets and associated IQ test information has opened the floodgates to finding more and more genes that predict the variation in IQ. Of course, it's still an open question whether these have other effects, and whether their effects are additive (linear), but the field does seem to be making extremely rapid progress...

'gwern has put together some links on genetic associations with IQ:

Unfortunately though, tribal or not, there isn't much unity; people have fundamentally different ideas of how the world works. On the left we see our society as a class society, others see it as merely a society of free association. It is hard to achieve a post-scarcity society because of the way in which materials are located in the earth. There are many problems to be addressed, ecological ones not least. As much as I would like a Star Trek, I think it is a more remote goal than even the Communists and anarchists who are frequently ridiculed for utopian ideology.
If you can get over the hyperbolic title and terrible cartoons, Robert Anton Wilson's quantum Psychology is a more thoughtful and amusing guide to spotting and overcoming cognitive biases - though like all guides it should be subjected to critical assessment in turn.

Sure, of course, people create new accounts all the time. That's how it goes an an optionally anonymous internet forum. But I wish I could somehow persuade you that you're taking the wrong view of the site and the people who work on it. We're not ideologues, we're not interested in promoting one ideology over another, and when I say "not interested" I mean deeply, deeply not interested. This goes back to the character of HN's founder, who's simply curious about a wide range of things.

We moderate political threads, not for ideological reasons but in the hope of preserving HN as a place for civil, substantive discussion. Many views can be and are exchanged here, but when people post in a way that threatens the container itself, we moderate and/or ban them. The mandate of the community requires this.

Sometimes (well, frequently) this provokes an angry response from the moderated and/or banned user, who sees us as their enemy and accuses us of making decisions for ideological reasons. The thing is, though, this response arises in almost identical form regardless of the ideology that user favors. There are countless examples of people complaining about HN being biased in just the opposite way to how you see it. What these complaints have in common is not the politics they favor—they completely disagree on that—but the intense emotion with which they favor it. That's presumably the same emotion that motivates the inflammatory flamewar-style comments in the first place. This is the force that threatens the container and we all need to do the work of moderating it in ourselves so we can (a) hear each other and (b) not wreck the commons. If you want to do that work, you're welcome here.
Ptoblem with remote job is that it's mostly limited to a developer role. If you wanna go up the chain of command there are less and less options.

To be a remote team leader means that you are limited to companies that have all of their developers remote.

Basically any kind of management position will limit you to apply to companies that are 100% or mostly remote and there aren't many companies like that yet.
Unconvincing. LVM's snapshots are CoW whether thick or thinly provisioned. And while not yet merged in mainline, XFS devs are working on CoW as well which is used when modifying reflinked files (shared extents).

Btrfs behaves basically like that with 'nodatacow' today. It will overwrite extents if there's no reflink/snapshot. If there is, CoW happens for new writes and any subsequent modifications are overwrites until there's a reflink/snapshot in which case CoW happens.

The 'nodatacow' flag can be used as either a mount option, or selectively with an xattr per subvolume, directory, or file. And in all cases, metadata writes (the file system itself) are still CoW.
Love the idea. Good luck!
I've witnessed this myself, many times. I honestly find the proficiency of iPad finger gestures in children < 2 to be shocking. It feels like I'm viewing some real world parody with how quick and controlled their hand motions are as they navigate through the interface. It really gave me a new appreciation for just how intuitive the UI is for someone with zero technical literacy... or any form of literacy for that matter.

I had one family tell me they learned about five finger swipes from their 1 year old daughter.
You're correct of course. But it's cool that you can learn a useful embeddings (in this case into a 128-dimensional space) with only relative few (in this case 9) binary labels.
I would love to know if that's legal (in various jurisdictions). You may have hundreds of dollars worth of games, blocking the entire account in response to one incident seems disproportionate.
Completely agreed, but it is something that Cisco was still pushing fairly heavily alongside their partners. Various different vendors bought into it, and it was deployed heavily in various different MSP's.

The complexity of FCoE is staggering, and the configuration required across all the different moving pieces to make it a success made things even more difficult!
Are they though? This can't have taken more than a few hours to put together.
Surely the flavour enhancing one must be the natural one, or else meat wouldn't have the umami taste, or am I missing something?

Definitely know your basic data structues, ie linked list, vector, etc, as well as your basic sorting algorithms. A lot of my interview questions had something to do with these topics. Also, in your spare time it wouldnt hurt to pick up a new language that you can put on your resume. That will open up more internship opportunities for you and make you a more desirable candidate. In my opinion, I would suggest learning python; if you are going to be learning C++ in school, python should be pretty easy for you to pick up. If you have any other questions feel free to ask.
Wow, interesting. Thanks for sharing your experiences.

This goes to beyond having a plan-B for hosting your own stuff somewhere else. Think about all the 3rd party services you are depending on. Then think about how many dependencies those services have. How many trace back to Amazon on some level?

The connections that could cause problems may not be obvious. For example network provider running into trouble because a ticketing or monitoring system that depends Amazon does not work. Hardware supplier not being able to ship spare parts for your on-premise SAN because logistics company runs into trouble due to issues at Amazon.
Sorry, but this is kind of laughable and shows a lack of familiarity. The data and existing knowledge base in biology is nowhere near sufficient to train a model like the one you described.

I'm curious too. Conceptually, `let` defines a function of n variables and then invokes it on a list of n values:

(let ((a 3)
(b 5)
(c -1))
(* a (+ b c)))

def «gensym»(a,b,c):
return (a * (b + c))
«the-gensym»(3,5,-1)

It seems workable purely in terms of the code transformation. But, I haven't tried.

Well, sort of. You said "the jobs are being done by someone else", but that's not quite true - that person having to do that job means they can't do another job, etc. I think your argument only makes sense if there's a large pool of low-skilled workers looking for jobs with clean backgrounds (which might be true, but possibly isn't in that area/job area).

Here are some examples:

1. A former felon is unable to work a low paying job at a library, because they have a background check. Someone else takes that job - but only if they couldn't find a higher paying job. In this case tax revenue doesn't change.

2. A former felon has a unique skill (e.g. manufacturing specialty welding machines), that it is impossible to find someone to replace. That business opportunity goes by, and in this case tax revenue decreases.
How would you like to be born a mistake in such experimentation. That's why the ethical issues are serious. If it's not safe, the mistakes will be paid for by utterly innocent and unwilling participants.
This is an active research area that one of my former professors is involved in. Things are not as simple as you hope they would be.

You're optimizing in a space of millions of discrete dimensions (one for each base pair), with little knowledge about independencies. This is in contrast to tasks like image recognition, where we can make use of the spacial structure of the pixels to build effective models like convnets.

Additionally, medical datasets, especially ones with genetic data, rarely contain more than a few hundred datapoints, which is not where you want to be for deep learning.

Machine learning is still useful in this area, especially to find genes or gene combinations with high correlation to certain diseases. But we are very far away from having a model that maps genome -> healthiness.
As a hardware startup who sells on Amazon, 3rd party sellers are a total nightmare. They hijack your Amazon product page, and often sell returned merchandise as 'new other' at a significant discount. Customers typically don't notice the distinction, and think they are just getting a sweet deal on a new product. I'm glad Amazon is imposing more restrictions on 3rd party sellers. Hopefully this will force some of the junk sellers to move to eBay.
What's with the extremely short shot duration? I noticed that in some movies too. It was incredibly frustrating. Is is some film technique to make me feel what it's like to be OCD?

> GRRM framed Qyburn negatively. You could view him from a positive angle instead: he's a brilliant scientist who left the scientific community so he could pursue groundbreaking research without being slowed by obsolete and conventional ideas.

I think GRRM very carefully made by both the positive and negative parts key to the framing of Qyburn; he's quite clearly both a brilliant scientist who rebelled against obsolete and conventional ideas which did not work, and, a monster who is utterly indifferent (or so nearly so as makes no difference in practice) to the suffering inflicted on the pursuit of his research, either directly or in his efforts to maintain the support he needs to continue his work.

GRRM tends not to make unidimensionally good or evil characters in ASOIAF (there's a few that seem that way on the evil side, but they are mostly also ones we don't know as much about.)

Hyperconverged Infrastructure is definitely eating a lot of the traditional storage vendors lunches. Using Ubuntu with JuJu/Ceph/OpenStack all on the same servers provides plenty of power while reducing costs.

Even VMWare has come on board with vSAN which pushes out vendors like EMC/NetApp because you no longer need them when you can just create it against your existing hypervisors. Sure you can run one or two less VM's on it, but you have less cost overall.
There was a bailiff and independent counsel there as representatives of the court, so they weren't alone in this case. This action is so rare that they obviously had no clue what the limits were, though.
The particular point about incumbent advantage, which admittedly has always been a factor, is particularly poignant in my mind. A lot of the recommendation is that founders shout from the rooftops about what they're working on, but in this climate is the better route to be relatively quiet with a small group of beta testers/a personal network? And go public more feature-rich or stable? If you hit a chord early on an incumbent could shift, even just "enough," and water-down your competitive edge to the point where the slag to viability just isn't realistic.
