But your post highlights the inherent problems with just listing people's experience and salary:

- location matters - two people in the same industry, same experience, same title , different locations may have very different salaries

- equity and bonus matters - some people want to structure their comp for more upside in an exit, others want more base, some people like bonuses. A sales person at an enterprise software company might make 165k base and then make another 165k in commission and bonus

- "experience" is variable - if i spent four years as an engineer, before spending 1 year as a product manager, do I have 5 years of experience or 1?

Simply listing numbers makes it difficult to assess whether you really are over-or-under-paid relative to your peers.
I've tried sitting cross legged on the chair. It still feels uncomfortable with a little balance issue. I was spending more time in correcting my posture than sitting in a relaxed manner.

It definitely has health benefits, by restricting blood flow to the lower part of the body. It is highly advisable to eat while sitting on the floor to aid digestion
If you want "100% anonymity", you make sure that sites have no information about your meatspace identity. You certainly don't share your address. If you're leasing a VPS or whatever, you invent some persona for the account, and SSH via chained VPN services and Tor.
Nice advertisement that Google bought from the NyTimes.

I'm not sure what efforts OP is referring to. I'm not aware of any. Either way, OP makes it sound like Amazon doesn't get blamed for all kinds of things (it does) and like people in Seattle don't think Amazon has entitled employees. I hear both complaints constantly.

I'm contending that Amazon has approximately the same reputation in Seattle that Google has in the Bay Area.

Calling something clean meat, based purely on arbitrary ethical grounds, implies that what other people eat and call meat is somehow unclean. It is a value judgement on the others.
Maybe they can start by getting getting rid of the NCAA (private corporation) siphoning billions from colleges and universities.
In Go, if you call three functions you need to repeat the

x, err := do_something()
if err != nil {
return nil, err
}

ceremony three times. In Java it happens by default, because the language designers agreed this is by far the most common case.

Ignoring an error is almost always a serious mistake, so the fact that Go makes it easy and not blatant is not a good thing.
The 200mm Equipment Scramble
This PDF lists figures for Seattle's Class A and B office space on the bottom of page 2:
http://team.transwestern.net/Market-Research/Documents/West%...

According to this, Seattle has 50.7 million square feet of Class A office space. Amazon's 8.1 million square feet is 16%. There are 53 million square feet of Class B office space.
Most useful content on the web is text. Photojournalism is a niche exception and those pages could be linked to from articles.

A lot of the useless pages are 3 stories of scrolling through large images with very little text.

Also, "data" as in tables and small/vector charts isn't all that big.
Any such rebranding would probably last about as long as it takes people to learn that the facilities are built by nuclear contractors, regulated by the NRC, and employing nuclear operators.
What types of sequences does your algorithm run on (looks like DWI/ADC)? One could make the argument that if it is on standard sequences done for other diagnostic purposes, hence not requiring any additional time or money, this tool could be used to provide info to radiologists who are not typically going to look for these changes (nor can they do this as precise as machines).

I am working in a similar domain (www.16bit.ai) and am a radiologist. I think there is utility in this quantitative analysis despite there not being an intervention yet, despite what others are saying. The reason is because in order for others to measure the effectiveness of new treatments a gold standard and reproducible way of measuring the disease is necessary. I think drug companies working in this area would be quite excited about this if it can be shown to be a reliable predictor. As for direct to consumer marketing (ie. 23andme model) that some have suggested - its possible but it will be tough to educate patients to go and get their MRI images from their hospital for this purpose. I live and practice in Canada so my views and experiences of this may be a bit skewed. Best of luck!
Everyone had the means to purchase the groceries also had the means to go to the store. Carrying the groceries home was not an absolute necessity.

Sometimes, the best summary is "this article is bunk". You won't get that from a bot. The fatal flaws in bad journalism are too often subtle and require careful parsing or outside knowledge to identify.
This doesn't really make much sense to me. How many peak users are there? What's the number of requests per second?

I can't imagine that the load would be so high that it wouldn't be possible to do it without GCP with three developers.

It would be way more interesting with performance details. :)

I'm new to cryptocurrency and it astounds me the amount of information I have to hand over just in order to buy currency on an exchange. Presumably this is a source of de-anonymization? I thought the whole point was that you don't have to give away information to a third party?

Does anyone know how to get cryptocurrency without going through this process? Is there a way just to buy cryptocurrency with a simple credit card transaction?
Not sure why you think it would be 0%; people have stumbled across $15 million Pollock paintings by accident[1]. William Durkin happened to be at the right place at the right time to save Howard Hughe's life, and it looks like he was at least offered money afterwards[2]. There's plenty of other stories where something extremely unlikely happens and someone gets rich.

The likelihood of winning the Powerball is something like 0.000000005%. Not sure what the odds are of these other unlikely events, but even if they're less likely - you really think someone is able to daydream about a 0.000000005% chance but not a 0.000000000005% chance?

Well, one can have arbitrarily many Bitcoin wallets. I have dozens in current use. Each one is associated with an identity, at least an email address. Most of them only connect through Tor, so there's no IP address association.

But yes, if you don't compartmentalize like that, everything is linked.
An exponent bit flip, especially at later layers, would completely break inference.
At some point you have to realize you're an outlier. The vast majority or users appear to tolerate and/or enjoy AMP just fine.
To add to pjc50's comment and to demystify the phenomenon a little...Figure 7 is just a plot of the deviations from a trend line of the GNP. I can't say for sure, but I would bet that this trend line is refit to the data at a regular frequency (probably yearly). Imho, it is useless by itself as a predictive tool....it needs to be combined with other signals to have any real value in signalling a change. It is one of those things that looks like magic in hindsight. To be fair, the article does cite other signals that indicate a downturn and I don't have any insights or desire to call bullshit on the prediction.
Agreed. As a Google engineer, I think a lot of our AI efforts are "safe" (as in we'll keep investing in them for a long time) because they're already providing substantial business value. For example,

- TTS and speech synthesis have lots of uses in Android (phones, Wear, Auto, etc.)

- Object recognition is very useful for photo search

- Face recognition is also useful for photo search (if you tag people in Google Photos)

- Neural machine translation provides better translation accuracy (for languages which we have enough training data for)

It's possible Google will cut back on some more speculative ML research efforts, but certainly not those four, I would think.
There's a risk that Disney will screw this up, but personally it looks like something hard to get wrong. Disney has a huge library of unique, high-quality content people really want to watch. If they can put all of it — not artificially limiting the selection too much — on one service and set the price right, they should do well.

When I was an undergrad back in 2005, I bought my groceries online from Waldbaums with a $10 delivery fee - which was more than justified given that I'd usually shop once a week and would buy more than I could carry on a bus.

They ran their own delivery van around town; you got to pick a two-hour window during which the van would arrive.

Your future has already happened, and lingered unnoticed for quite a bit. I still don't understand why it didn't catch on back then.
Maybe. But see https://www.reddit.com/r/joinmarket/comments/6d60f0/coinjoin...
> For example, loc isn't the best measure, but the Minix 3 kernel is at ~20kloc, while the Linux kernel is now at, what ~11mloc!? Not even redhat can audit that shit properly. (another reason we need a Hurd microkernel, but I digress)

It's not like that's 11mloc in one monolithic system. The Linux kernel has a variety of different subsystems, and is maintained by a lot of people. Each subsystem is auditable, so I don't see you have a valid objection here.
Just because human race survived thousands of years eating certain food does not mean that food is safe in today's standard.
Nicely done on accepting the criticism! I would hope I could do the same.
To be fair, I've witnessed people in the Seattle area seem to subtly shame or otherwise discourage those who don't cycle or take public/shared transit in to the office, at companies and social situations outside of Amazon. A number of people in the area seem to think those who don't cycle to work, go hiking/mountaineering/skiing/kayaking/etc in free time aren't really "doing Seattle right" or something. Of course this is my generalization based on my perceptions of what I hear around this area.
Apple has an easy way to move the needle, return it's profits to shareholders as dividends. They can produce better returns that way then dumping it into lesser businesses.

Apple has made great margins in PCs and Phones because it refused to use commodity operating systems. It's not clear that there is any similar advantage in cars. Everyone will be making autonomous cars, the markets will be highly competitive and they'll still require massive capital investments to make. It's unlikely customers will pay up much for a slightly better autonomous system.

If Apple wanted to go into cars, they should buy Porshe or Ferrari. They actually have brands that make their products difficult or impossible to copy well. Porsche in particular sells cares that are super highly engineered in every area, Apple can't create a Porsche like car business by selling an autonomous car by doing autonomous great, but ride, handling, acceleration, etc just acceptably

For those that are unfamiliar, when a faculty member wins a grant the university takes 50%+ for themselves. Right off the top. So if you are awarded a grant for $100k from DARPA, NIH or some other granting organization you'll only end up having ~$47k to spend. The rest goes straight to the pocket of the university.
I thought that too, but the article makes a really interesting point, backed by Iger's quote, that they may not wrap Marvel and Star Wars in. Honestly, I have no desire to subscribe to their service without that IP and I doubt I'm alone. Of course, plenty of people still will, but will it be enough to make it profitable?
Really? If you worked for 4 hours in a single day, there wouldn't be a single useful thing you could do for your company in the next 4 hours?
It's pretty hard to explain. One day you're sure everyone's fooling you and there's no 3D, and then bam, you find the trick.

From the explanations I heard, you have to focus to the double distance between you and the picture, and let your eyes wander.

First time I saw one, when it became a big hit, it was pictures framed in the street. The guy said to focus on my reflection on the glass of the frame, and then try to blur a little.

It worked pretty quick.

So may be you can try something like that, in the réflexion of your screen ?
I started college in 2005, and believed at the time that most programming work was being outsourced to India. I blame Slashdot for putting that idea in my head -- that forum seemed to be full of out-of-work programmers and IT guys who spent all day complaining about how hard it is to make ends meet.

Fortunately, I majored in CS anyway because I had been passionate about it all my life. I only discovered that I was wrong to worry when I graduated in 2009 and was flooded with job offers. I still wonder why those Slashdotters were having so much trouble finding work.
This is really cool and impressive, but doing a kickstarter seems rather ambitious. To go from your first ever embedded project and two hand-made watches to delivering 179+ watches by November? That's a tall order. And there's not a whole lot of details on the campaign page of how he's planning to pull this all off.

By all means, keep making them, but I would start small, taking just a few orders a time, before opening it up to mass production. Clearly he's a pretty capable and resourceful guy, I'm just worried he's biting off more than he can chew.
I noticed this yesterday...I thought maybe I fell into some A/B test.

If that sentence had been followed by something sarcastic, derogatory, or harmful, then I'd agree. However, since it's followed by "here's an actual problem I'm having that Google could fix", I choose to believe that jacquesm is honestly saying "you've got a lot of bright people there, but AMP is the wrong project to have them spend time on".

This thread here came at the right time. Today whole day I attended the DynamoDB training. Honestly, one thing that I understood is its cost based on reads and writes per second. Irrespective of the amount of read data per operation (whether its 1 bytes or 100 bytes), its always charged for 1KB. So, as a work around what they suggested is using a Kinesis, a Lambda and an another service to make the write operation as a batch, in such a way the reads are near 1KB always. He pitched it like thats the perfect way to do. The problem I see is too many moving pieces for a simple thing to achieve. If the Dynamo team makes the reads cost based on the actual data we are all set.
And that subsidiary would also be more likely to put the equity investment portion of that money in US vs. International businesses if the income tax rates were lower.

This. I worked in residential life while I was in college. One of the key things that was emphasized to us was that colleges and universities are now becoming accessible to a much larger section of the population, to the point where kids that a generation ago would have stayed at home because they couldn't handle life at a university are now able to attend. This is why everything under the purview of the dean of students has ballooned: dorms are not dorms anymore. They are not where you sleep, but where you live as a community with the support from the university. And to fund that, the university must charge more. Strictly speaking as a student you do get a lot more services at a university today than you did 10 or 20 or 50 years ago. It just comes at a cost, and there is no cheaper alternative that is just as good (taking into account actual education as well as perceived value of your degree).
You can run multiple apps as a driver and obviously have multiple as a consumer.

They would need to subsidize rides and pay drivers more but if they do it region by region it could definitely work without being exorbitant.
Growing an organ means you need it to genetically match the person, have all the different tissues hooked up together correctly, and somehow grow it faster than normally happens. And you need that fast growth to turn off before you put it in someone.

Growing a vat of meat tissue just means you get a lot of cells to absorb nutrients and reproduce. It's likely multiple magnitudes easier.
Once you have the PCB design and the CNC path files, there's not much more to it (being slightly facetious here). It's not like parts are hard to source.
It's not entirely binary and I think Ben underestimates the power that content creators have in this country. Some content is simply classic, and will have value 30 years from now. Disney is amazing at making it. Disney is also amazing at lobbying Congress, along with other traditional media content providers to entrench their copyrights beyond the pale: https://www.theverge.com/2017/4/3/15161522/mpaa-riaa-copyrig...

Netflix has been forced to create it's own content because old media wants to charge Reed an arm and a leg for anything distributed online that they don't have control over. Old media always raises the asking price for anyone who comes to them requesting to redistribute content. They are scared to alienate the cable providers, the advertisers, and of losing even more control of distribution with these new consumer-centric on-demand business models. This is why despite years of hype, Google and Apple haven't gotten far with their TV bundles so far.

I do think the Netflix - Disney love/hate is over-hyped. Both can exist. Disney can keep crafting great stories and Netflix can keep targeting customer groups across the globe with affordable content that scratches their niche itch. Amazon has been more willing to pay the piper, but has also had to resort to in-house content. The great thing about good TV/movie content is it tends to retain value. Good luck to Disney creating as seamless a distribution platform as Netflix though...

I think Viacom is going to be the real loser here, to YouTube and Netflix. Most of their MTV, Comedy Central stuff has no replay value. Music videos in particular have been completely absorbed by YouTube. Meanwhile Netflix is doing great comedy specials. Years of family in-fighting has only further weakened Viacom's position and they are likely to be forced into tiered packaging deals by even their traditional cable and satellite partners.

The fact that the vast majority of users wants something does not make it right any more than letting your kids decide what's for dinner every day is right. At some level what people want in the short term is overruled by the longer term consequences.

This whole discussion reminds me of the people ranting against RMS who many years later come to the conclusion that he probably was right all along only by then the horse has bolted.

The long term consequences of AMP are to consolidate Google's power and to make Google even more of an intermediary deciding who gets to see what. It's an end run around the kind of openness that is a cornerstone of the web and I care deeply about that openness and will oppose vocally any attempt to hijack the web for fig-leaf reasons.

Note how Google is slowly boiling the frog by doing all those things that they said they'd 'never do' and how their 'don't be evil' motto gets trotted out time and again to show us how they are good little web citizens when in fact they ram their unilateral solutions down our throats in the interest of their bottom line while pretending it is all about the 'user experience'. Accidentally gaining control over the content delivery of the pages containing advertising tags of competing ad networks sure must look like a nice and juicy bonus.
US KYC law mandates all that. And exchanges have US customers, so they follow KYC. BTC-e didn't, and the US took them down. So hey.

But anyway, it doesn't matter that your initial cryptocurrency purchase is totally not anonymous. Just use mixing services. And do that through Tor. After a couple mixes, you will have totally different Bitcoin or whatever, with no association with your initial purchase.
If the exploit looks super obvious and you're not hearing about people using it that's a good indication that people are using it and smart enough to keep their mouths shut.
