That part aside - why does it matter? If you want to recruit for diversity and there is a smaller selection of one group, you are very likely to have to recruit the weaker candidate from the smaller group.

But why is that a problem? The whole argument behind striving for diversity is
that "A diverse team is stronger than a non-diverse one". So the argument must be that regardless of whether you recruit the strongest individual or not, you are building the strongest team.

There seems to be a widespread misunderstanding that a) The strongest team is built by having the strongest individuals, or b) that the strongest candidate has a right to be recruited even though the team is not the strongest if he is.

I don't think the difference there is bakery v registrar, but protected classes v arbitrary groups. It's like at-will employment: you can be fired for any reason except these specific protected reasons (retaliation, age, race, pregnancy, etc).
There are a good reason to use NoSQL, for example to replace EAV. But definitely not a good use to do everything on NoSQL so most companies opted out for 2 database solution = SQL + NoSQL and did not get burned.

The thing however is that since Postgres released indexed BSON support (which is actually faster then MongoDB) there is absolutely no point in opting for 2 database solution and making things harder for no reason.

TL;DR

Use Postgres.

I think Vigna's claim is that if you ignore the PractRand tests that fail, it passes. (Really!)

The code does explain exactly what the issue is, i.e. that the last bit isn't random:

This generator passes the PractRand test suite
up to (and included) 16TB, with the exception of binary rank tests,
which fail due to the lowest bit being an LFSR; all other bits pass all
tests. We suggest to use a sign test to extract a random Boolean value.

But I'm tempted to agree this isn't a desirable property for a generic RNG.

How many users of JavaScript know about this property? (it's the default RNG for most browser engines) Or does it not matter because they return 53-bit floats?

You think emailing or chatting your common utility will get your change order processed in a reasonable timeframe? I've got bad news for you, knowing a few people who work at local utilities, those emails you send in get to sit for months in some cases before being processed, meanwhile an order put in when you call in gets processed within days.

Many utilities just opened up the floodgates to email and other forms of customer service, without adding any staff to handle said workload, hence the severe backlog at many of these utilities. Same deal with meter readers, most utilities have stopped hiring them because within 2 to 3 years, the utility will have a new smart meter system implemented across the board, and they'd rather not fire a whole team outright. Letting the employees churn without replacing them is much less dramatic.

The standard approach to detecting signal lights is to have a database of GPS positions of the signals, along with rough location in the camera where the signal is expected to occur [1]. Then, when the car nears the signal, it locates the signal and detects the current color.

This mechanism really shouldn't be susceptible to the same biases as humans. The described signal may legitimately be more challenging for the self driving car, but more than likely the signal was missing from Uber's database. Their lack of explanation for this failure does not inspire confidence in their approach.

The real WTF is that APT spawns an external process to check disk usage, instead of invoking statvfs() on its own.

Some cases are less clear-cut, however. For example, the Debian 'nodejs' package installs node.js binary as /usr/bin/nodejs and not /usr/bin/node because it conflicts with another package: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=614907#108

This is a pretty thin slippery slope argument. No one is arguing the Republican Party are literally terrorists. The idea that they often flirt with white nationalists far more than they should is not tantamount to a call for banning their websites. It is a call to hold them accountable for their words and actions.
It occurs to me, maybe this is another instance of the left engaging in silencing tactics and maybe that is a weakness in the flagging algorithm.

I can't vote "don't flag this". So if there are approximately two sides to a discussion, and one side wants to flag it to silence the discussion, then the discussion is going to get flagged no matter what.

So the side that wants to silence just selectively silences the opinions they don't agree with, and they win.
The statement was stating an absolute. Algorithmic complaxity matters more than the speed of the computing hardware. Obviously, more power means you can compute more, but not everything.
The turning point however was the 1930 election that made them the second largest party. The Enabling Act ultimately led to the formal dictatorship but the Reichstag Fire Decree (also post-election 1933) was what effectively ended civil liberties and political opposition.

By the time the 1933 election happened, Hitler was already chancellor and NSDAP thugs were openly assaulting political opponents. The reason I pointed it out as the "last free election" is that it was the last election that at least offered people the option to vote for someone else.

Starting with the election of 1930 the NSDAP had enough popular support to slowly force its way into dictatorship. Maybe this could have been prevented with a more stable political climate (i.e. a strong majority government and a less fragmented Reichstag) but there's no way around the fact that many millions of people voted for the NSDAP.

This is why every German who's familiar with their history is uncomfortable with the popularity of the right-wing nationalist AfD today. They may not be the NPD but they're certainly at risk of being enablers. This is also why openly anti-constitutional parties can be banned (but also why it's so difficult to do so).

EDIT: Let me reiterate my point for emphasis: While Hitler's rise to power wasn't exactly democratic, the NSDAP was only able to get him into that position because millions of people voted them into the Reichstag. How many people didn't vote for Hitler doesn't matter -- most Americans didn't vote for Trump either.
We shouldn't post articles from everipedia, though. Almost no peer review and aggressive tactics to "milk" controversial topics (just look at Mahbod's Facebook feed) = no credibility.
Speak for yourself. My current career in systems administration, a pleasant improvement over my retail start during college, was gained through my network of college friends. I don't keep in touch with them often, but we went to the same programming classes, and know each other's relative strengths. One of my buddies took me to lunch with his friends that work here, and one thing led to another. I still had to apply and go through the technical screening just like anyone else, but just like that I had an "in" and was able to perform a class jump.

Is my experience anecdotal? Absolutely! I didn't even finish my degree, which makes this a weird exception story. On paper, college got me nothing, but in reality, the network of contacts and the life experiences I earned were far more useful to me than the degree I never obtained.
Well this one is easy to answer, because there have been (over the last 6 years) less than say 50 occasions where we didn't put them to bed together; apart from those 50 occasions, my wife travels a few months out of the year, in which periods I put them to bed. So overall, there is no doubt (no matter how subconsciously biased my 'accounting' might be) that I did the majority of the putting to bed. (to bed putting?)

And well of course there's always the no true scottsman argument - no matter what, one can always put the 'true' equal treatment to question. If you're asking whether I ran a double blind experiment in my home, no I didn't. But we're nit talking about a tiny difference in one observation here. We're talking massive differences in dozens of families (from my observations). And this is for a social context where the ratio if dads and mums and the school gate is roughly 50% (yes I count sometimes), and where the lowest level of education is a bachelor's degree and the median is a PhD. Meaning, we're not talking about representative sample of the population, which you would expect to show the same properties as the population overall; we're talking about a population here that shows high levels of gender equally along many metrics. And despite that, the children show (very) unequal behaviour.

*it's people being competitively compensated for their contributions to society*

Sorry to nitpick .. you're describing meritocracy I think, as envisaged by free-market economics (which is entirely reasonable - to a point).

Capitalism isn't so much the emergent market behaviour as a system that provides a means to create and develop wealth (i.e. capital). The labour market is one aspect of this, but it's not exclusively tied to it.

*Capitalism is an economic system and an ideology based on private ownership of the means of production and their operation for profit.*

Thanks. She's young, which fits the profile of the "rehab" houses known to be essentially milking State subsidies while treating the patients as cattle. The girl I knew who spent a few months in one of these could only call her parents, and usually not in privacy.

A local news article claims they also treat airline pilots, which should be harder to mistreat, but that was two years ago.

Unfortunately there aren't many leads. It's hard to denounce these places without an inside witness.
It seems like an unpopular opinion, but now that I've reached adulthood, I actually kind of feel this way... Though I wouldn't phrase it as insultingly. It's 2017: There's a big wide world out there of free and cheap hobbies and opportunities to learn. All it takes is time, which if you're bored, you generally have.

Fwiw, in my case what I used to think was boredom was actually an unrecognized anxiety disorder and associated anhedonia. I got a diagnosis but decided to treat it myself (mainly with meditation and sleep hygiene) and the concept of boredom has pretty much vanished from my life.
But you don't have thousands of cores. You have a medium amount of cores (64 in the latest Vega 64 GPU) with a high amount of ALUs (and threads) per core. When the GPU executes an instruction for a thread it looks if the other threads execute the same instruction and then utilises all ALUs at once. This is great for machine learning and HPC where you often just have a large matrix or array of the same datatype that you want to process but most of the time this isn't the case.
> US healthcare look 100% fucked up. Be it Obamacare or post or pre that. I don't see how GOP stance changed on this. They always were fucked up in this regard, they still are. Thus business as usual.

I was stating that they wanted to deprive a further 20 million people of healthcare, from the current system, ACA ("obamacare") which, while needing fixes, is still better than the old system. They (GOP) with a near complete unity (missing 3) tried to push through a bill with 12% (!) approval rating. If that is business as usual, the GOP took a wrong turn, you can't honestly deny that.

> I was talking about overall left vs right tendencies, not about single politicians. GOP was weird a decade ago, it still is now. Democrats went full retard IMO. I can't see what was going on their minds to push HRC.

Are you actually for real? You're saying that democrats went "full retard" in regards to nominating Hillary Clinton, and nothing is wrong when republicans went with Trump? Have you had your head in the sand for the last 6 months? Really?

I won't deny that Sanders would've had better chances, and most likely would've been elected, but there is a stark difference between effective politics and rational politics.

I tried it out on a few comments from the long google memo articles, and the response was good. Specially sentiment, and reading difficulty level.

One thing that was annoying was marking the word "very" as a weasel word -- in the instances it seemed correctly used. "Controversial" vs "very controversial".

Also, modern convention of using straight quotes ("") has become the norm. Marking these for change to curly quotes is just fighting against a change that's already occurred in written english -- alteast for phrases and not spoken sentences.

Good work! I'd especially like for this to be an offline-checker that the browser provides for all textboxes (the way spellcheck is today provided).
Isn't that also what the Nazi alt-right people are doing: grabbing a radicalized ready made identity off the shelf because they don't know who they are?

> It was pointed out in this thread many times: one good way to approximate what the ratio should be at the point of hire is the ratio among CS graduates.

While this sounds reasonable on the face of it the reality is different.

Where are you sourcing these graduates from? In the USA computer science departments are barely above 10% women faculty, in China it's closer to 40%. Student numbers tell a similar story... so it matters where your graduates are coming from. For a multinational like Google this is a real question.

> If you force it to be say 70-30 then you are discriminating against men based on sex.

This is a loaded statement, based on the assumpions that (a) hiring if left alone is broadly meritocratic and (b) quotas are the only game in town. There's enough evidence to say that neither of those assumptions is true.

First of all, it's been proven many times that bias in hiring is a real problem and has a large effect. Hiring is not meritocratic. Second, Google doesn't use quotas, no bar-lowering occurs (Damore hinted at this but gave no specifics and no evidence... we have to reasonably discount it unless someone can prove otherwise). Instead diversity programs mainly exist around sourcing and trying to avoid false negatives in order to counteract systemic biases.

With that amount of data, streaming and only saving aggregated data is the only sane way. With 1.2TB/hour there is a limit to how much historical data that can be saved anyway, and we're talking about 30% utilization of a 10gbps network interface, so it's beyond using single machines for most usecases.

But free speech as an ideal is made to protect people from the unique threat posed by state censorship. This may have applications to platforms with influence as widespread as Google or Facebook, but it certainly doesn't apply to most other private entities. Absent such an overwhelming imbalance in power, what most people consider "censorship" is more often than not just counter-speech and holding people accountable for their words and actions.
I was paraphrasing actual comments made in German that constitute hate speech.

"Donkey fucker" is a racial slur. Most of the racial slurs used in these comments don't translate well, e.g. "oil eye". It's in the same register of language as the n-word in English.

It may not come across that well in English but there's a direct call to action: "shoot them and their children", basically. It's not specifically directed at anyone. Charitably it could be read as "we should enact policies so soldiers do this" but less charitably it's directly calling for people to go out and shoot other people -- which is inciting violence.

I'm fairly certain going on national TV and offering a significant monetary reward to anyone who murders Snowden/Assange/Trump would be illegal even in the US. The only difference is that Germany doesn't require a tangible reward for that to be illegal.

But hey, what do I know, it's not like the US is at risk of bringing lynchings back or something.

EDIT: Oh, and the obvious difference: aside from a strict loyalty to international Human Rights, the German constitution centers around the idea of the indelibility of human dignity. Dehumanizing people is always unconstitutional and promoting hatred around racial identity or ethnic background is almost always dehumanizing.
Neither boredom nor never being bored is a sign of a boring personality. But for me, the spirit of OP's quote is that if you're intellectually curious, you can almost always find something to explore - the systems around you, the natural environment, getting to know ordinary people, examining and classifying materials, describing your lack of stimulation poetically...And that's a good attitude to cultivate. You'll still probably get bored occasionally; it's a part of life.

>But sometimes the laws of physics leave you no choice, in which case accepting that fact can save you a lot of heartache and frustration.

Different views of the world, I guess. If the laws of physics "leave me no choice" I'm personally going to still consider that my responsibility and look for ways to prevent that situation in future, if possible. Sometimes there really is nothing you could have done (e.g. fired by a scumbag boss who didn't reveal their nature until it was too late to do anything about it) but there is nearly always something you can do to respond.

>And why should I ignore that? It seems like a pretty salient fact in the context of this conversation.

I was half joking with the comment, but the non-joking part was more to say that just because this guy wasn't able to take his own advice and contain his "horrible master" doesn't mean everything he said is invalid. It's still something to strive for.
