One would think. So perhaps there is some other incentive working against this? I'm not trying to suggest anything; honest question.
AMC can say whatever they like, but it's hard to see how they could block this.

I was a MoviePass subscriber a few years ago (at $40/month, not $10!), and how it worked was that I had a MasterCard that would work to buy one movie ticket every 24 hours. It had my name, my billing zipcode. I'm not sure how AMC could have known it was MoviePass. They certainly did nothing to stop it when I was using it then.
> the problem we face is what to do when labor is no longer valued because machines do it all and half the population or more has no skills of value to the market

Need anything be done? You said it yourself: that portion of the population has no skills of value to the market. They're worthless.
Agreed. Going with SVG instead of something else to render the Jenkins pipeline graph has made our lives much easier when it comes time to make changes since we introduced it.

For anybody interested in some example code mixing React and SVG the PipelineGraph component is here: https://github.com/jenkinsci/blueocean-plugin/blob/master/je...
>Relatively easily? It isn't exactly a cheap venture: e.g. $4k+ per year to become an ICANN registrar.

I'd say that's relatively easy yeah, perhaps a bit much for individuals but in the end not everyone needs to be a registrar. This is still accessible enough that rather small groups of people can set up a domain registrar to serve their own needs.

>I think that unless a registrar is legally compelled to unregister your domain name, they shouldn't take it upon themselves to unregister your domain name just because other people are offended by what you put on the web server that your domain name resolves to.
￼

Oh, absolutely. And that's not what's happening here, registrars are simply forcing Daily Stormer to transfer elsewhere. They're not just deleting the domain.

> To Systrom, it’s pretty simple: Freedom of speech does not mean the freedom to shitpost. His network isn’t a public square; it’s a platform people can choose to use or not. When pressed on the matter, he asks, “Is it free speech to just be mean to someone?” Jackson Colaco makes the same point more sharply. “If toxicity on a platform gets so bad that people don’t even want to post a comment, they don’t even want to share an idea, you’ve actually threatened expression.”

Yes, it is free speech to just be mean to someone.
The fact that this man is a leader of anything at all troubles me.

Neural Nets and computers aren't impartial. We should never be putting any power into them to affect real human discourse that NLP cannot possibly hope to accurately parse at this time.
Agreed that it's not too bad because as you say, only a few topics warrant such a reaction.

Unfortunately... it seems like, as time passes by, more and more subjects require such careful treatment. I absolutely hate it...
Looks like the reasoning came from the Quora article. Do you have another explanation?
Sad, sad, sad. Greed trumps safety. I wonder how many other safety inventions have not reached mass adoption?
Language interop in 2017 is still pretty dismal.

C is still the common denominator, you'd think it'd be easy, but it's hard. Years ago when LLVM was showing promise and Google was going to get Python running on top of it I was hopeful.

I guess nowadays it's a better design to run separate processes and have your languages communicate out of process (pipes, http, etc) rather than in-process.
In general the price of a futures contract is that which avoids arbitrage opportunities.

If the interest rate in EUR is 2% and the interest rate in USD is 4% and the cost to maintain a EUR/USD hedge is less than 2% then you can make free risk-free money by borrowing EUR at 2%, exchanging it to USD, and lending it out at 4%.

Such a situation is unstable as more and more capital would pour in to take advantage of it and the cost to hedge would rise or the interest rates would move closer together until the gap disappeared.
If "being better" means better communication, better critical thinking, better learning skills, better time management skills, better understanding of oneself — yes, please! These are the universal skills important most everywhere.

These are also skills that are hard to teach as a specific subject; they mostly come with experience in some other, more practical subject. Some of these, like critical thinking, can go against the modern prevailing religion (political correctness), which makes teaching them harder still.
There is a lot of anti-SJW sentiment these days that I'm sure even Google doesn't really want to tap into...the public is more broadly defined than one side of the story. Also, the longer this story goes on, the left isn't really appeased and the right grows angrier, very much a lose-lose situation for google right now.

The guy might have turned down a gag agreement, maybe they just didn't offer enough money? A non-disparagement ageement would also be on the table just for severence, but Google seems to have opted out of that already (you can't talk about the guy and expect that him not to talk about you).
i'm not sure why you reached that conclusion but i didn't say they coded anything into their software.

also they weren't suspended insomuch as the vehicle registration of the cars they were using were revoked. at that point i'm assuming at that point uber stopped messing around with the ca dmv.
> Even in situations were a custom flow was needed, it's saved both me and my clients hundreds of hours.

And it possibly saved you from embarrassment as well.
Having been a student with good and bad teachers, I can see your point.

However, many of the things that you are being taught (at least I hope this is still the case) that don't appear to be needed for the "job" are actually important because they are needed for the understanding of the background for why and how the "job". The failure of teachers that we faced as students was that the reasons for learning something were often not explained and only became obvious when learning about other subjects in later years. Having the relevance of the knowledge explained to us would have made it easier for us to learn.

One of my favourite examples was the subject of Karnaugh maps (or K-maps) which is used in logic circuit minimisation for small circuits. We learned all about and didn't use it again for the rest of my engineering undergraduate days.

However, a number of years working with a colleague on trying to solve a particularly pernicious software problem, I asked him why he hadn't used the concept of "don't cares" in short-circuiting the logic mess that was required to solve the software dilemma we were facing. He had never heard of the concept as he had never been taught about K-maps in his undergraduate programming course.

One he understood the concept and it didn't take him long, he was able to write 5 lines that solved the problem, instead of the hundred's that he had already had written (with many more to follow) to test for the problem throughout the program.

I have been surprised at how often over the years, where theoretical knowledge or other knowledge has come to the rescue in finding a solution for specific real-world problems, even though it has (on the surface) no relevance to the job at hand.

I have worked with some very smart people over the years (much smarter than me) who have been stuck for a solution because they didn't have that "irrelevant" piece of knowledge from their undergraduate days, but I did and so a problem was solved.

The one piece of advice I will give you is to learn as widely as you can so that you basic knowledge base will be broad enough for you to keep adding to as the years go by.
Or stoicism.

> The will of nature may be learned from those things in which we don't distinguish from each other. For example, when our neighbor's boy breaks a cup, or the like, we are presently ready to say, "These things will happen." Be assured, then, that when your own cup likewise is broken, you ought to be affected just as when another's cup was broken. Apply this in like manner to greater things. Is the child or wife of another dead? There is no one who would not say, "This is a human accident." but if anyone's own child happens to die, it is presently, "Alas I how wretched am I!" But it should be remembered how we are affected in hearing the same thing concerning others.

There's no hell more harsh than a memory
There's no home more hell than an empty nest
Winter takes the warm away, spring takes the cold away
Summer takes the rain away and fall took away my friend
I believe there's never a place better than right where you are
Although imagining an afterlife can tend to mend a broken heart
And with someone dead, it's a way of coping with loss
But I don't need you out there somewhere if I have you in my thoughts
I don't envy anyone in a position where they're forced to choose
Pull the plug or not I can't tell if this is for me or you
I mean I know you're sick, tired, and confused
But sometimes letting the tired go to sleep is the best thing to do

Or fighting it with cryonics, SENS, other medical research etc. But pretty much any religion or everyman-philosophy has something to say about death. I have the same reaction as the green sibling, if something comes off as proselytizing it's pretty gross. Hitchens on death-bed conversion: https://youtu.be/q4cPe_YS8i8 Just be considerate that your way isn't the only way if the suggestion really comes from a good intention, which in these cases with personal experience I tend to believe does.

Having worked in insurance, my guess is this would be illegal.

They do share information via state regulators (insurance commissioner or state department of insurance) regarding actual fraud once it is proven. Proving fraud requires significant investigation. You have to have more going on than a high rate of recidivism for patients wrestling with addiction for them to accuse you of fraud.
Rootbocks, raising funds for the Charlottesville Nazis, removed from it's host
There could in theory be other risks in EUR which prevent the arbitrage (legal? liquidity? cost of initial transaction being high?) which is why I'd prefer to see actual numbers bearing that out instead of just a derivation from first principles.
James also argued that women are biologically inferior for STEM fields, which is objectively and demonstrably incorrect. With that, I think he'd disagree with absolutely all of it. He clearly has a confirmation bias, and is actively cherry picking articles (from fucking Wikipedia I might add) and misrepresenting their contents to make women seem inferior.
I agree. The movie Liar Liar and the therapist Brad Blanton confuse not lying with saying the worst of the many things that dance through your mind. What about all the noble thoughts that also flashed through it? Blanton's technique is like confession but brazen.
It isn't clear, and actually highly unlikely, that Damore leaked the memo to the public.

Amazon is 4 in every $10 spent online in the US. They have a scale similar to Costco/WM who only got deals for/to break exclusivity. Amazon pays less than 2%, much less depending on card type. Manages fraud to about 6BPS on transactional basis. But the concept of the running a CC is not out of the question, but the economics/complexity don't align yet...
I have the server paid up for 10 years and the domain for 15. But it's true, eventually all things must end. I do have credentials for all the things written into my will so I guess it ultimately depends on how much my children care about preserving my helpful forum posts.
Sure, I never meant to imply that previous process steps were much smaller, just that this one is still formidable in its own right. Real world gains will not be 100% but they're a very large fraction of that. Obviously any technological advance in a mature industry is going to show reduced return on investment at some point, it's rather surprising that the ROI on these process shrinks is still worth it given that we are now well beyond what was thought to be possible not all that long ago.
I'm not trying to flippant, I really don't know: how much of this specific case is caused by our completely byzantine and backwards health care system? Or is this more of a case of terrible people, well, being terrible?

I would wager this sort of thing is beyond unheard of in a country that has both centralized, state-run healthcare and a progressive attitude towards addiction.
A year and a half ago I had to call emergency services to revive my friend. She'd gotten herself a court order for mental health treatment, and the mental health professionals thought she'd benefit from getting addicted to benzodiazepine anxiety drugs too. She'd only wanted the benzo "as needed", but they made her take the full dose every day. After 6 weeks the helpful effect of the benzo wore off, leaving her with just another addiction. She ordered heroin from her street pharmacist to get her through the benzo withdrawal. I later learned from a HN comment that benzos increase the potency of opiates, so they don't actually go well together...

The firefighters did more for my friend with their Naloxone than any of the mental health professionals. Her drinking was under control for about two weeks. Then the naloxone wore off...

I think the fundamental problem with current approaches to addiction/rehabilitation is that they mostly view addicts as having had a 'moral failure' in choosing to use 'recreational drugs'. ~80% of rehab facilities use some version of the 12-step program, which is helpful for ~10-15% of people who are addicted to something.

I've observed some cases of alcoholism too. It's not very different from street drugs, except every corner store has their vice.

About five years ago someone figured out that the brains of alcoholics switch to running on acetate, one of the breakdown products of ethanol. Alcoholism is basically a metabolic problem, as far as I can tell. I found an article by an alternative medicine heretic ~3 years ago that said nerve tissue can run on coconut oil too. I've heard a tablespoon really does help with alcohol cravings.

IMHO, it's much more productive to view addiction as self-medicating physical and mental anguish. People who are emotionally stable tend to not get hooked.

I was just transcribing the videos my friend made of us frying donuts (in coconut oil), taken two weeks before her first hospitalization. She was doing very well, then she ran out of alcohol & the professionals got hold of her...

A very smart woman I know once said, "When a person feels safe, the false ego goes away." Helping people to feel safe is the most important part of all effective drug rehabilitations. Sometimes people need access to their drug of choice to feel safe. It's much better to give them pharmaceutical-grade drugs [1], and wait for them to age out of their addiction, than to train them to be helpless in jail, or help them to feel like failures in a 12-step-based "drug rehab".

His point isn't to compare the left and the right, so it doesn't make sense to bring up the right. "Google is an ideological bubble that suppressed free speech and we should change that." "Yeah, but conservatives are bad too, and therefore we should continue being a bubble".
Let me put it in a different way:

It is widely acknowledged that there are social factors that might affect the number of women entering the field. He could've made as valid an argument about the hiring practices affecting diversity, without bringing up the supposed "biological" factor altogether. Not bringing it up would have probably put him in the right side of the Code of Conduct.

At best, it was poor judgement for him to bring it up when it didn't add anything to the conversation. At worst, it betrays a certain level of misogyny. Those of us who tend to assume the worst, might be more inclined to believe the latter, but I wouldn't blame people for believing the former.
A production large scale ad. system system that was doing 1.2 TB per hour in writes, was migrated over from MySQL to MongoDB in roughly 24 hour window cool story Bro.
Could you be a little more specific as to what a proper document store is? Mongodb has impressed me after using it for two years in a highly concurrent and rapidly changing big data production system. It's not without its significant headaches, but I've yet to find a database that is.
Yes! I thought it was my DNS or something. It only happens on mobile.
Thanks for pointing out! Bloomberry has some useful themes, yes, it does look similar. Good to know they exist.
It'd be nice if the formatter would realise that two asterisks in a row aren't emphasising any text and therefore just leave them as is.
Maybe AMC should release their own movie pass subscription service then, instead of keeping their heads up their ass in the dark ages.
Raw data. Pre processed is always smaller in practice.

FYI "aux" is short for "auxiliary" as in "providing supplementary or additional help and support."

I think the shittier parts of humanity rear their ugly heads more simply because of population growth.
It might go bad places, but nowhere near as bad of places as shutting down free speech. We have history to prove this fact, which is why it's part of our constitution.

We don't get to just repress free speech because we disagree with it. If white supremacists have a platform, then we need to meet them head on and fight their ideas with our ideas.
Nah, I'm pretty sure he just wanted to encourage me to come up with ways to entertain myself. Thus, my childhood hobbies included building a city out of empty kleenex boxes for a family of little pieces of wool to live in; recording songs off the radio onto cassette tapes and coming up with indexing strategies to keep track of them in notebooks; and soaking every plant I could find in rubbing alcohol to find out which ones made dye I could paint with. Weird kid, what can I say.
I don't want to go into a whole politics discussion about it, but while I do agree with you regarding the left/right switch on the working class voters, I don't necessarily agree that it comes from the right being about "working people" but rather about working people feeling threatened by recent cultural/economic changes brought by globalization. It's not a coincidence that both American and British people voted against their own interests because they were concerned about "immigration".

In any case, it's not a discussion for HN, but I wouldn't mind having it over a few beers/coffees.
More power to them. I thank them for what they do.

Thank you for taking time to reply in detail.
I interviewed with Facebook a few years ago. Even before going I had already done the math and decided that based on everything I knew about their compensation, there was no way I could move my family out there without a severe reduction in quality of life.

No matter how I sliced it, I was looking at least a few of the following:

* Quadrupling our mortgage
* Picking up a 30-60 minute commute
* Sending my kids to either expensive private schools or terrible public ones

In the end, we ended up moving from the Midwest to Charleston, SC. It's obviously not SV, but it has a pretty vibrant tech scene. But more importantly, it's just a great place to raise a family. Reasonable cost of living, excellent career opportunities, and the recreational opportunities are endless.

Good luck, pal! I hope you make the right choice.
The author deliberately stated that the "lowered bar" only goes insofar as reducing the rate at which qualified and diverse candidates are rejected. Disregarding the words that the author intentionally wrote - likely to prevent the interpretation that underqualified candidates are accepted - is a significant disservice, in my view.

To better illustrate what it means to reduce the false negative rate without admitting underqualified candidates, consider the following scenario:

* Phone interviews have a 50% false negative rate.

* On-site interviews have a 0% false negative rate.

* Neither type of interview has a false positive rate.

* Non-diverse candidates get one phone interview, and if the interview is positive they go on to an on-site interview. If the onsite is positive, the candidate gets an offer.

* Diverse candidates get two phone interviews. If either is positive, they move on to the onsite which, if passes, gets an offer.

In this setup, no candidates are underqualified since there are no false-positives in either the phone interview or the onsite. Non-diverse candidates have a 50% false negative rate; 50% are erroneously disqualified at the phone interview stage. Diverse candidates have a 25% false negative rate. Since they go through two phone interviews, there's only a false negative if both (0.5 * 0.5 = 0.25) phone interviews are false negatives.
Rigidity when it comes to tenancy and lack of groups were two of the reasons why Google went with its own LOAS instead of Kerberos for the production environment. The even bigger one was performance.
This is a really interesting point. I think what you mean is operationalising the analysis. We let customers decide what those actions are and then provide integration to help this happen. For example, one customer has a call center that receives an email from Thematic each morning stating which customers are likely to churn based on themes they mention. They call them up first.
Canvas, WebGL, or "a potentially limitless number of platforms with the new Custom Platform Support SDK" (https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/how-to/publish-multiple-plat...)

The product itself can export to SVG (https://helpx.adobe.com/animate/how-to/export-image-svg.html), but I get the impression that's only for individual frames.

Edit: https://blogs.adobe.com/creativecloud/export-svg-animations-... exports SVG animations, but only, it seems, for special types of documents ("From here you simply create a new “Snap.svg Animator” document type and begin creating content s you would normally. Publishing your content then generates a boilerplate HTML file along with all the assets you need, giving you an example of how to embed your animation into a webpage.")

Current OMSCS student here. It's been a challenging, eye-opening experience, and I'm grateful to be a part of the program.

However, computer science and software development are not the same thing. If your primary goal is to up your game as a software developer, you might get more out of well-regarded software development books like "The Pragmatic Programmer," "Working Effectively with Legacy Code", or "Design Patterns."

Hope this helps.
