So, based on that performance test then AMD should have the same performance as my two E5-2660v2 at half the price. That's pretty impressive.

I'd like objective data that sustains your argument then. I think approaching problems, including social problems, as rationally as possible is important. I, similarly, believe that leveraging all available data is important. However, as far as social issues are concerned, American psychology and western psychology in general have shown themselves to be inadequate when addressing the universal set of humans and not the western set. We've seen evidence of this not only in western vs. east-asian psychologies but also in the psychological treatment of refugees from areas like Sudan. I appreciate that there might come a day when human psychology is a solved problem, but unless that problem is currently solved then it seems like leaving room for mysticism is more pragmatic because it permits us to identify, and adapt around, areas of uncertainty while still providing some amount of care.

ROC curves always increase monotonically I think, so yes saying that lowering the bar to reduce the false negative rate for a minority group does imply that you are increasing the false positive rate. i.e. He is indirectly stating that members of these groups are more likely to be false positives. Bad hires.. who don't belong there.

So yeah, I can see why people in those groups might get upset about that. As you've identified, that one line is the most dangerous part of the memo to say out loud.

Late arrival to this thread. One of my projects involve working with local female co-operatives in Nepal and help them sell their hand made products around the world. Paypal doesn't operate here, merchant services for international cards are impossible to get. They don't understand technology in any way and there is a lot of hand holding.

The site is https://www.pasatrade.com

We make no money off of this, I operate it at a loss, but each and every sale gets more money back to the women who really need it; a few extra dollars here and there can really make a huge difference in Nepal. The interesting part is they make more money on each sale through us than they do locally or selling through Fair Trade channels.
I do. We have an open floor plan for all employees.

Well, and it worked well enough, in the limited context of our software system. There were a few quirks like that, that everyone knew about. It was kind of funny how opinions changed in the years between when it was written and when I started working there, though.
Yes, we're working on a distributed version of Timescale as you describe.

But two clarifications:

1. It can aggregate better than you might think. We've had people run single-node Timescale with 20+ disks, then couple that with query parallelization, and you can do pretty good aggregation over larger datasets.

Plus because the way the data is partitioned, a GROUPBY will actually get good localization over the disjoint data (i.e., groups can be local to a chunk) and generate more efficient plans given the smaller per-chunk indexes.

(And the various cloud platforms make it really easy to attach many disks to a single machine. Our our published benchmarking is on network-attached SSDs.)

2. You can use read-only clustering today, i.e., with standard Postgres synchronous or asynchronous replication. So you can scale your query rates with the replicas as well.

The timeline looks about right, SA says he moved back to AMD in 2012[1], so figure 4 years to design a new core and get a few test runs in, then a year to ramp enough so you can sell said chip.

That being said, I think it has more to do with an overall culture change, the technical talent to build a good core has been at AMD this whole time. Jim Keller said as much back in 2014[2], and there is nothing special about Zen's architecture from a technical standpoint. What Zen is is a well executed conventional high performance CPU core.

By not splitting up resources like previous leadership at AMD, they were able to build a solid, competitive core. This type of investment takes 5+ years to come to fruition, from thought to test runs of silicon.

Anecdote time: I've been a lifelong supporter on Firefox (and Mozilla at a higher level), both as an end consumer, and philosophically: This is how to build a company around human beings and respecting their rights and privacy. Even had a Firefox download link on my blog footer for over half a decade (back in the days of footer images)!

In the last few years, it was becoming harder and harder to support Firefox as a browser simply because the cons had started to outweigh the pros: It became slow, bulky, and hung multiple times, on a system with 16 Gig RAM nonetheless . Even though I was the only Firefox guy in my team (So many teams I know develop and test ONLY on chrome), I still stuck with it. But was beginning to feel that I was supporting FFx, more out of philosophy than out of it being good software (like RMS insisting on browsing the web by wget-ing pages).

I'm glad to note the last 2-3 releases for firefox have been EPIC! So many improvements for power users (I have 120+ tabs open right now and it's all buttery smooth), and focussing on what FIrefox does best: Be an awesome browser! Next time someone tells me how Chrome is hogging their system memory, I'll (once again) be proud to point them to the Firefox download page.

Ffx dev team, You guys are awesome! :D

I haven't really paid close attention. Are we basing our assumption that Uber was a "bro-themed caricature of a corporate culture" off the sexual harassment claim that kicked off the uproar a few months back?

While sexual harassment is, of course, indefensible, that story didn't really make Uber sound like the frat house implied by "bro-themed caricatures", it just makes them sound dryly indifferent to the employee's complaint. Are there other events that gave Uber that title?

Well...I don't know the entire history, but only my memory...which admittedly is never an accurate source. At that time, it was stated Jim Keller was brought back to AMD specifically to work on something which became codenamed 'Zen', since AMD was getting pounded in their previous ventures(Bulldozer et al). I was excited then, then forgot, and then Ryzen was born.

Mouse chording is extremely efficient and I highly recommend it if you use a mouse. I was a big fan of combining mouse chording with structure-aware editing: https://github.com/vsedach/mouse-copy

Unfortunately this does not carry over to laptops with pointing sticks or touchpads, which is largely why I switched to a tiling UI with almost exclusive keyboard navigation. After I discontinued mouse use I stopped having wrist pain in my mouse hand, and after I started using the Lisp Machine keyboard layout I stopped having Emacs pinky, so now I no longer have any RSI symptoms from computer use. Another important consideration.

The corresponding space telescope for exoplanet detection and spectral characterization is being planned for sooner than you may expect: https://www.jpl.nasa.gov/habex/.

This, or a similar concept, is hoped to be in the upcoming National Research Council decadal survey which recommends astronomical priorities for the 2020s. Current designs require as little as 4 meters.

Stability is one advantage of space telescopes. Integration times for spectral characterization can run into days.

12 Things I Learnt While Teaching Application Security
I made probably my second game on Hypercard. It was called "Dessert Storm". It was a misspelling which I was oblivious to at the time (which gives you an idea how old I was and what decade it was).

Later in life I made a point-and-click game similar to the one you described, on a newer version of Hypercard. This one had sound. I made this with a couple classmates in elementary or middle school. It was based on caricatures we had made of our school life, teachers, and classmates.

You won't need Black Scholes for these. Black Scholes is just a formula to estimate the value of a stock option. It doesn't say anything about when to allocate expenses, that's governed by GAAP accounting rules.

Under US GAAP, the value of stock-based compensation has to be recorded at the fair value at the date of grant, not date of vest. The date of vest is used to decide when the award shows up as an expense.

If a company is public, the value of an RSUs is probably just going to be the trading price. Snap's RSUs were a little more complicated because the grant dates of the pre-IPO awards were before the company was public, so they had to estimate the grant date fair value at the time using third party valuations, recent stock issuances to investors, and internal valuation techniques.

If you look at their initial SEC filing, Snap says it issued 169.9 million RSUs from April 2015 - December 2016, and estimated the values to range from $15.36 - $16.33. The weighted average value of those shares was $2.7 billion.

That's valuation. Now let's talk expense recognition. Those awards only show up in the income statement as an expense once they are expected to actually vest, after subtracting out expected forfeitures. That's why only about half of the $2.7 billion I mentioned above showed up so far in their financial statements so far. The rest of it will show up over the next three years.

1. Do you use Postgresql 9.6 query parallelization (https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.6/static/parallel-plans.ht...) or your own method for processing chunks parallelly? When we have >1B rows with >20 columns, the IO usually becomes a huge the bottleneck in our experience. If you use multiple disks and parallelize the work among different CPU cores, it would help I guess.

> Conventional wisdom is that, in a free market, a single corporation will grow to rule everything. But that never seems to pan out.

The extreme scenario doesn't pan out - we don't end up with one eternal corporation that owns all capital. But certainly it pans out in a more realistic scale of size and time; there are and have been plenty of monopolies in many industries, and the overwhelming power and influence of large corporations, and the damage that power and influence does, is well documented.
Intel still has the old-school high-walled cubicles in some places. But gradually, floor by floor, building by building, they've been renovating, and you know what that means! More openness. To their credit the new motif is 1) more aesthetically pleasing, and 2) not TOTALLY open.

There's a lot of assumptions in this interpretation of events. It's entirely possible that warnings were issued after hushcon and that's why action was so severe this time around. It's also possible that no warnings were ever issued and there is blame for overreacting due to the management. Either way, it seems like there's plenty of information available for interpretation but not conclusion in this scenario.
