FWIW -- google does not have diversity hires in the interview pipeline. Everyone gets the same interview bar. But 'diversity recruiting' is more aggressive to try and increase the available interview pool.
Not sure what point you're trying to make — I live in Boston and the map seems generally accurate. Sometimes it takes longer, sometimes shorter — that's why we use averages.

There's also a reason traffic to the cape is high during the summer months — the cape sucks in the winter. Not sure how you're using that to your advantage.

If there are any college student hackers interested in pushing boundaries MHacks is going to allow you to hack a Tesla this September in Ann Arbor.
For the non-DoTA players out there, there's a lot of specific jargon in the above comments.

I've played a few dozen hours, and I understand most of them.

1) "smoke ganks" means that a team goes invisible, in order to surprise the opposing team, and kill as many as possible in a short time.

2) laner: one of the main 3 roles that one of the five players in a team can take (e.g. support, laner, etc).

3) and so on : "shrine", "regen", "soul ring", etc, are all very specific locations or objects or concepts (regen = regeneration).

DoTA is a really, really interesting game. Very strategic, great lore and graphics, and a huge fan base.
Benchmark's suit against Travis is likely to increase Uber's value substantially (or at least protect it from collapse). Kalanick established very clearly he's a terribly incompetent CEO, anything that keeps him from ever regaining a position of authority is protecting every shareholder's investment.
Here's the internet's favorite copyright attorney talking about this. It's a fun read. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Or0sfrz93O4
I will consider an A.I. truly intelligent when it passes the Turing test with flying colors. And as a native English speaker, too (not just barely passing by posing as a 13 year old Ukrainian boy with a poor grasp of English, which is what happened last time).

As far I know, no A.I. developed has ever met this bar. It seems that the nuances, inconsistencies, and total freedom of language make it a totally different kind of problem to solve than a simple game-playing algorithm.

Or maybe I'm wrong and getting an A.I. to pass the Turing test is just another kind of game-playing algorithm with different parameters. At any rate, we're quite a way off.
Many places consider the land below the high-water line of navigable waterways to be public (in midwest US at least). So if you're canoeing down the river and eat lunch on the bank, you're generally not trespassing. Smaller lakes are generally not considered navigable, though I'm not sure how it works for huge lakes like Michigan. I suspect a similar 'high-water' line is relevant.

You'd truly be pretty dense if you wanted to build a permenant structure below the high water mark.
World’s best Dota 2 players just got destroyed by a killer AI from Elon Musk’s
Fascinating story. Thank you for sharing! How long did it take you to build this company from start to exit?

What were some of the toughest moments you experienced?

And what advice would you give to people who want to build their own companies in transportation/logistics fields? (I know - may not be exactly your area but there may be some cross-sector knowledge sharing at play here!).
The previous owner of the $30M ought to create another smart contract that says something to the effect of: if $15M is sent to this wallet, all rights to press charges will be waived.

They recoop half the money and the "contract executor" can step above ground with no worries.
So, for reference, after taxes a single person takes home what? $80k. That's about $6,666 per month, leaving $2666 after paying rent. That's not including food. Also for reference, when I lived in a South American country, rent was running about $400 a month, but even if it was $700, wouldn't you be doing better in South America? You can't ignore the fact that food and services are extraordinarily cheaper due to the lower cost of living.

A little imprecision in the article: "The company, founded by Musk in 2003" is untrue. Musk joined the company after it was funded.
The author claimed he attended a workshop and discovered that this is not entirely true.

Do diversity hires get any special treatment after a no-hire vote?
As a long time dota2 player, it was simply absurd just how good it was.
Just so we don't go over the same thing again, Khosla's unique claim is that the title to the land derives from a land grant from before California was a state, with which he justifies disregarding the CCC.

A year after the case was filed, however, a San Mateo County Superior Court judge dealt Friends of Martin’s Beach a setback, ruling there was no right of access. He said the property was subject to the 1848 Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo, an agreement that ended the Mexican-American War and required the United States to recognize Mexican land grants.

Do you have any examples of eight year olds habitually employed mining cobalt? Tougher, can you tie that in to Tesla with confidence?

Disclosure: I own quite a few shares in Tesla. They were only ~24.00 USD when I bought them. I admit my bias.
The seventy first worthless coin offering just made umpteen million dollars and this site feels it's the market speaking truth to power. The most innovative industrial manufacturer in decades raises money, and it's "gaming the system". Right.
The whole point of a business is to make money, and it does that through sales. Someone seeing themselves as having a business worth pitching to investors for significant chunks of money, yet without a focus on the most critical validating piece is what prompts the glib response.

Agreed, but I think we can do a bit better by dropping a word or two.

Submitted title was 'It's Not About Censorship, but People “Being Turned into Morons by TV”', which was a reasonable effort but doesn't say what "it" is.

Steve Martin's movie "The Jerk" is the older usage, and it's dated to 1979.
Again, you're moving the goalposts forward whenever AI surpasses them. This time you move the goalposts forward by requiring a proof of native English proficiency. Next time it will be something else; that goalpost will be achieved, and when it is, you will move the goalpost forward yet again.

Perhaps you'll require the Turing+++ test be conducted with audio rather than text. Then it will be video. Then a physical android. Then it will need to prove itself better than the human in an IQ test. Then it will need to pass various real world success tests, because IQ tests are too synthetic. But those won't be good enough either, so it will have to live 80+ years as a human in the real world without being discovered. But that's not enough, because maybe its life was too easy -- the real human experience is characterized by pain and suffering as well as joy, so we'll also need it to somehow prove its experience is more real. And on and on and on. It's always something else -- with every step forward, the success will be dismissed and the goalpost will move forward.

I should say this isn't intrinsically a bad thing, since it pushes us to advance the field of AI more and more. But IMO this is too often promoted as a pessimistic criticism of the AI field, rather than an encouraging push of optimism.

Why must this notion of binary "true intelligence" exist, anyway? Can't we see that intelligence is a spectrum (most likely with multiple dimensions of proficiency), and AI is continuously advancing upwards?
Thank you. I missed that one. I do notice it is specifically about cell phones, though I suspect it is difficult to tell where else it is used.

I don't own enough shares to pressure them into ethical sourcing and, honestly, hadn't even given it much thought until just now. I only have ~850 shares. Which, while a bunch, isn't going to influence much.

It does make me curious.
My impression is that "this site" is very skeptical of ICOs, so I'm calling strawman on your comment.

I like fun, tall, fast, soaring roller coasters. I hate jerky, upending coasters.
I'm not sure what to make of this argument. Should we only attempt to convert to electric automobiles if it means everything involved is optimal? Are you implying they are mutually exclusive?

the SEC regulates securities issuances

even the SEC's report said not all blockchain based cryptographic tokens are securities, so they're not confused about it, why are you?
I am curious: do you know anything about rail?
I'm not convinced. His repeated use of the words "echo chamber" seems fairly indicative of his views, and I don't think it simply leans conservative. This is all just conjecture though.

But either way, if he didn't take the money and went public it would turn out worse for Google, possibly even legally. They really took the only action they could, in my opinion.
Vancouver had a big win in the last year where they tore up a railway going north to south (Broadway to 70th) and turned it into a mixed use path. One of the biggest reasons I started cycling this year.

It's interesting to me that in May of last year Snap, Inc raised about the same amount of money. I've never understood how some companies need so much money. To me it makes sense for Tesla. They are building actual cars and that is expensive. What on earth did Snap need a 1.8 billion for?
If everyone is offered the $2,000, for the reversible kind, I'm okay with it. I know for some people 2,000 is something, for some people it's nothing. But if it's reversible I don't see the harm.
Crytocurrencies serve one purpose very well: they're presently not being prosecuted as Ponzi schemes.

"Pressing charges" is mostly TV nonsense. Generally speaking it's the district prosecutor's decision, and if they have evidence to charge someone with theft of $30M, the victim can't thwart that by "refusing to press charges".

It's not something that can be meaningfully waived (and it's not something Etherium could enforce, anyways).

I agree a centered URL is a bit of aesthetic ridiculousness when exposing the entire URL.

Aesthetic opinions aside, the linked complaint relies on a workflow that could be considered a UI anti-pattern.

1. Move hand to mouse.
2. Position cursor.
3. Click URL bar. (activate caret)
4. Move hand(s) to keyboard.
5. Type replacement.

The following workflow lends itself more easily to UI automation (and muscle memory)

1. Type Command-L. ("Open Location…" which selects all in location bar.)
2. Type left/right-arrow. (Move caret to left/right side of location bar.)
3. Option left/right-arrow. (move caret left/right one "word".)
4. Type replacement.

The distinct advantage of the second workflow is that it is susceptible to the automated editing of URLs of many tabs using Keyboard Maestro [0] and a simple AppleScript.

Combined with keyboard tab-switching (Command-shift-[ and Command-shift-] for next left and right tab, respectively, you can fast web-page switch to spot small differences similar to the way in which a Hinman Collator works to highlight differences between bound books. [1]

Admittedly (and a bit off-topic), the link I provide for the Hinman Collator doesn't exactly illuminate what such a device does. A better demonstration of how collation can be used to highlight subtle visual differences between two artifacts can be derived in the service of solving a puzzle from one of my favorite web sites, Kindertrauma. [2]

The puzzle, which asks you to spot the differences between a series of two photos, is mildly challenging. That mild challenge is reduced to laughably simple when the images are collated. [3]

EDIT: Move parenthetical into footnote. Add adverbial phrase to footnote parenthetical. Rewrite Kindertrauma example. General readability.

A number of people have mentioned Dan Abramov's Redux tutorials on Egghead, which I recently went through and got a lot out of. As a supplement/alternative I also found this series of LearnCode tutorials (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1w-oQ-i1XB8&index=1&list=PLo...) to be really useful and informative. Where Abramov's series was great for seeing how to start with the most simple integration of Redux and building up to an advanced one, these start out advanced, allowing it to cover a few more topics (like middleware). Just figured I'd throw that in.
Tesla sold $1.8 billion of eight-year unsecured bonds at a yield of 5.30 percent.

That's considered junk bond level today. Historically, it's not a bad interest rate. It's an OK deal for Tesla.
How we built our first full-stack JavaScript web app in three weeks
Perhaps the better analogy, then, is that it's kind of like an unattended farm stand with an honesty box. Except the honesty box isn't visible on the way in, it's located on the back of the enter sign so you only see it on the way out, and the driveway is so long that surely you've already started munching on the fruit while starting to leave. Since I'm still on a food kick the whole expectation-of-paying thing is still clouding the analogy a bit, but at least this is closer to the situation than a sit-down restaurant analogy. Oh, and of course our hypothetical farmer needs to have primarily fixed costs, little or no variable costs based on the amount of fruit taken.

It may very well be more common for such hypothetical farmers to forego having an honesty box hiding where you don't see it until you've consumed the fruit, but for those who do choose to have one, are you stealing the fruit if you don't drop in a few bucks?

More on topic: I also think courts would see quite a difference in intent between using a mainstream graphical browser with an ad blocker vs using things like a text mode interface, a screen reader, a braille display, or libcurl. The former is like driving past the honesty box while chuckling; the latter is like not even knowing it was there.
If the society is collectively willing to pay for storage mostly to host pirated content, that tells you a lot about what the real (rather than publicly expressed) social consensus is wrt piracy.
If disabling JavaScript allows you to circumvent copyright access controls, you're right back where you started ostensibly violating the DMCA.
Amazon et. al. has not removed any of the interactions you've described, it's only changed shape. As fewer workers are needed to perform retail sales that labor is freed to perform other human interactive services. Many of those people now work in healthcare which is very hands on social interaction. There's more restaurants and bars, popular centers for social interaction. Lamenting the fall of mom and pop retail establishments is like lamenting the loss of the milk man. The new system is better and the milk man is now your masseuse, or physical therapist, or details your car, or provides some other valuable service for you.

People said it was "late stage capitalism" when Walmart destroyed the mom and pop.. and frankly that's who really did it. But that was a generation ago. Amazon is really just destroying Walmart. But more to the point whatever social fabric WalMart might have damaged it's nothing compared to the destruction of the family and social bonds that falls right at the feet of socialist policies that I've already mentioned. Capitalism is not the culprit here, socialism has been.
Are applications open?
This is a very naive view of the legal system.

In reality, a lawyer trying to "hack" a contract with some technicality will run afoul of a judge telling them to sit down and shut up. Judges exist to discern the intent behind the contract and thereby fix "bugs" in the contract that would otherwise lead to absurd, unintended outcomes.

"Loopholes" matter a hell of a lot less in real life than in episodes of Law & Order or whatever you've been watching.

vesting vs. performance
In my start up I dont like to vest in my company. It could take years to get off the ground and they could own the equity with no value. I proposed to split the equity into performance + to hit a sales number. If we all hit those sales numbers + have the product, everyone wins. Then the partners earn their agreed equity. Is this fair and reasonable? Or do you prefer vesting?
Probably the most persuasive rebuttal I've read in trying to follow memo story. It has an honesty about it. So the issues with the memo are lie largely in the subtext and motivations, it seems. When framed this way, it's easier to understand.

One issue I have is that the author implies the memo is alluding to a lack of aptitude, where in my reading of the original memo, the issue was of a lack of interest (wrt affinity towards people vs. objects and so forth). Perhaps that's six of one vs half a dozen of the other from a certain perspective, but it comes off as a misrepresentation.
I thought it common knowledge. That's probably a mistake on my part. I know it because I invested pretty early on. My mistake is in thinking others would have read the history and knew the details.

I'd like to hope a journalist would know, however. Well, at least research it. I'm pretty sure Wikipedia knows all about it.

Still, I think it's a mistake on my part, to think others would know - more so, given the pervasiveness of the misinformation.

Well, or the suspicion is confirmed. But in any case, "a few years" is a long time to labor under a cloud, esp in an industry where switching jobs every couple of years is common. For myself, I'd prefer to face exactly the same standard as everyone else.

This is luckily a problem Dota2 doesn't suffer from, we've been incredibly lucky to have Icefrog be the main force behind it for over a decade. It's an incredibly well balanced game, at this International (World Championships for Dota2) 112 of 113 heroes has been picked and/or banned. The amount of diversity you have in strategy is amazing, there is a meta obviously, but teams have very individual styles and heroes they prioritize.

As far as I'm concerned Dota2 is probably the most well balanced competitive video game out there.
Sorry, as a term of art, "speculative fiction" is pretty well established as the conglomeration of science fiction, fantasy, horror, and related fiction like fairy tales and superheroes.
The volume on many exchanges are fake. It's pumped up using bots buying and selling among each other. Large dumping tends to go through dark pools or OTC. The real volumes are much lower.
I've thought this EXACT thing and told friends privately the same. I thought it too incendiary to draw a parallel here though.

Also, the article seems to think missing out some weak-ass graph and a link to wikipedia as irrefutable proof that this guy knows what he's talking about and everyone is out to misconstrue his words. Nope.

I'll tell you some bias he makes no mention of. The bias of having Disney princess for girls before they're born. Of being bought pink and told they're pretty not clever. Then getting dolls as presents instead of practical problem solving toys. The shoes and clothes bought that aren't practical for climbing trees or exploring. Then watching every Hollywood film about men while pathetic women characters look savvy and get "rescued" like the fairytales they were told when they were little.

After all this, even if the adverts of scantily clad girls in both boys and girls magazines haven't dissuaded them a career in science. Perhaps they study and perhaps they do so well as to get a job at google. Where they will be surrounded by a good many male asshole engineers (it's likely because I'm a male software guy and have seen no shortage). They persist anyway. Then some male privileged white lad who's a Princeton graduate pops up and says they're neurotic. Wants to talk bias in an open way? Nope

He's missed the point. He wants to talk about the very few who've travelled that unlikely journey made all they way to Google despite the obvious barriers that were in place before they were born.
