New stuff for Machine Learning. GAN. Magenta.
Both would consider themselves to be me, as both would be a legitimate continuation of the pattern of consciousness that is me. The divergence would create something of an ethical dilemma in the case of marriage, property ownership, rank, etc. Would both be granted the rank of the original, seeing as they are both a direct continuation of that being?

Seeing as at least one episode of Star Trek dealt with such a thing, I wonder if any ever dealt with the possibility of a single individual with access to a transporter creating a continuous set of copies from the original scan, perhaps saving at intervals and allowing the instantiation of variously youthful or experienced copies to be made. The divergences over time in such a branching consciousness would make for an interesting sci-fi thought experiment, I think.

> You Waited Until The Exit Interview To Ask What’s Wrong

For sure that's what's happened with me. We are a small company of ~10 people. We're meant to have a review with the CEO every 3 months, it's been over 6 months since I've had one, despite my constant reminders to the CEO, he keeps fobbing me off.

He's also managed to dodge giving my a payrise, despite having worked in total for 15 months, and still having the same pay that I did when I started as an intern. It took me until about 3 months ago to realise I was getting fucked hard.

Bitcoin is just as centralized now in practice. There are just a few mining pools that have the most electricity to spend. In Ripple they will eventually expand the number of main nodes way beyond what bitcoin has.

Once a transaction has been made you just need SOMEONE to confirm it for the blockchain. In bitcoin, that's the miner that happened to solve the POW. If they don't take your transaction, the next miner will. In Ripple it's effectively the same thing.

The author was fired but I certainly wouldn't describe the reason as due to "any little thing they say". Most of the time people are fired for harassment, which can be nuanced but a normal company compliance training can get one up to speed.

The author was probably fired for going through the wrong channel to voice this. Now not only has he attacked his company but he also alienated his female coworkers who may feel he finds them potentially undeserving of their jobs or in excess supply, as implied by the article.

Its an interesting topic to discuss but personally I think progress is with diversity. Not just for society but it benefits companies as well. I think they are seeing that and ultimately they are allowed to do what they wish.
You’re right. Only if we ignore depreciation of capital goods are the two examples equivalent.

But I was trying to convey the fact that money is just a replacement for physical goods, such that if the lender doesn’t purchase something with the lent funds, the loan would be meaningless. And as soon as the lender spends the lent funds, there’s a risk that it won’t be able to recover this cost. In other words, riskless credit makes no sense, since the presence of risk is why there’s a potential return for the lender in the first place.
This comment really strikes a chord. There's not enough awareness around the actual privilege wealth affords. The majority of the tech titans today come from similar affluent backgrounds. Thank you for sharing your story. I would love more examples of successful folks who share a tough past.

What cost(s) are you thinking of here? .NET doesn't cost anything (monetarily). Some of the tools cost money but you can also get by in the .NET world with a command-prompt and text editor (I did as a hobbyist for quite some time).

I might be misunderstanding your statements, but it's also possible that you're misunderstanding .NET, I'm just trying to clarify which one it :)
Its still intense. Tezos would have to become a unicorn to materialized 600% gains on 200 mill. It almost definitely wont, and thus the irrationality dominating this market is bursting the seams.

Hi, from Perth, WA.

I think it’s a great initiative.

We have a similar climate to the US west coast with only a few weeks of rain a year, relatively flat landscape and way too many cars per person (due to public transport and distance).

It’s pretty common to drive very short distances to pickup something small. I’m sorely guilty of it.

One reason I avoid cycling is that I feel it’s somewhat risky. I lost a close friend in high school who got knocked down by a drunk driver. More bikes on the road raises awareness, so a net positive imho.
(deepstream employee here) despite its flaws, Firebase has some great ideas, e.g. its permission language that strongly inspired us when building https://deepstreamhub.com/. But there are some aspects, many mentioned by the OP that send us down a different route:

- Serverless is a great goal, but only works for low complexity apps. We've designed deepstream explicitly not to take the server away, but as a layer that sits in between backend and frontend and allows servers and clients to connect and exchange data.

- The same is true for auth. DeepstreamHub comes with similar built in auth and usermanagement functions as Firebase, but more importantly comes with a Webhook auth strategy that forwards any login data and associated connection info (IP, Cookies etc) to a HTTPS endpoint of the users choosing. Depending on the returned status code the connection is either granted or denied. In addition the auth server can also return client specific metadata that's either forwarded to the client upon login or used within permission rules to determine access rights

- Querying. This has so far not been a strongpoint of deepstream either, but we'll soon be releasing a blazingly fast realtime graphql implementation to address this. More details here: https://deepstreamhub.com/blog/deepstream-3.0-release/

You can apply on server-side restrictions on Google API keys:

The most secure approach is to get a premium plan with a cryptographic key and sign your requests serverside. This is complicated/not feasible for some APIs and client-side applications though.

Hey UI point - you might want to set a consistent height for those grid elements in the list -- would do a lot to make the elements more consistently laid out.

It looks like the individual tiles vary in about 2-4 lines for the below-title description text, so I fiddled around for a bit, and it looks like this is just about right:

.card {
height: 25em;
}

Of course, if you're going to set the height of the card you should probably go in and set the heights (in em or percentage) of the children elements, etc.

(just noticed the results page cards are a lot bigger, so probably scope that rule down to only the cards on the landing page)

This DaMore guy doesn't have a lot of political savvyness.

First off, I think his manifesto contained more nuance than has been attributed to it. I agreed with some points and disagreed with others. I think the length was a bit excessive but it's not the kind of thing that would make me raise an eyebrow. Still, by publishing to to the entire company, he was openly challenging the views of his employer and forcing them to respond in spades. It was a move with no real upside but plenty of potential downsides.

Now, with half of Twitter eager to write him off as an alt-right douchebag, what does he do? Yup, gives an interview on an alt-right YouTube channel. This is a brilliant coup for Peter Molyneux but for DaMore there is absolutely no upside to being associated with those guys.

Thing is, I don't think DaMore is a bad person. I think he is earnestly trying to understand the current diversity fad and to spark a debate around its causes and effects. But he has quickly turned himself into a pawn in everyone else's game.

"Dark matter" is a term that means there is a discrepancy between the observed mass in the universe and how much theory says there should be. One possible explanation, and the leading hypothesis, is that there is some form of matter that only interacts gravitionally. Another possibility is that there is something wrong with our current theories. The last one is discussed in the article which is that undetected black holes contain the missing mass.
Where are you getting that data? [1] claims that the rate was 1.27 deaths per billion miles in 2008, and 1.25 in 2016.

What do you consider the threshold for human drivers being good or bad? Even if we could get to 1 death per billion miles (with human drivers), I'd consider that pretty bad.

Regardless, if an autonomous driving system can do better, that's all that really matters. We're not there yet, but it's not inconceivable that we could be before too long.

> Then the problem lies with the employers, the
> government, the system.

I see it differently. There is insufficient economic activity to employ these people. Since the government is funded by economic activity (and taxing it) they are not in a position to create a welfare system. Because employers are not competitive if they raise prices while others keep their prices low, they aren't in a position to pay additional wages. Because the system relies on actual economic activity in order for capital to flow, and they have disabled a chunk of that economy by fiat (no child workers) they have essentially removed from the economy jobs for those children.

You can do what the Chinese did and essentially print money to pay people for public works jobs which then enables more non-subsidized economic activity, but that boot strapping is difficult and needs you to start with a stable government base.
