You could probably let the schedule of the perturbations be a sequence ε→0, such that ∑ε = ∞, and such that ∑ηε < ∞ with probability 1, where η is IID, bernoulli on {-1, 1} (e.g. a square-summable sequence will do). I suspect this will be a fairly good start.

Note that, then it should in general be independent of the chosen parameter, since the added noise converges in probability to a constant whenever the distribution is close to uniform, but can sum to any real value with consistent bias.
No company hires anyone just because. Management have a plan and need people to help execute it. If layoffs occur it is because management failed to execute the plan - and workers bear the consequences. That's all it is. Anyone who has been around the block, or worked in volatile industries, knows the score, so don't worry about being judged in your next interview. When they ask why you left your last job look them in the eye and say layoffs, anyone worth working for will understand. Good luck!
yeah but why go to a shoemaker if you can do it yourself? same reason people learn to tailor clothes. i think it has potential
No, I'm against the actual group on here, having seen this argument play out multiple times. I am not concerned about the implications of AMP, have a long history with the web, and think it is an arguably correct reaction to help protect the "open web". It is impossible to have a rational discussion on here, however, as so many are so viciously anti-AMP.
No idea why that comment is getting down voted. Beta can mean different things to different people. We all know google put gmail into beta for years, it was solid for years. That's one example of a product in beta.

But seriously, take a bet on a hip framework and it comes good (like react), good for you . But you can't cry when frameworks change API wildly when they clearly have a beta label on them.

the disintermediation issue is actually directly covered in the article. being a commodity service means you're not invested in any perticular service provider, so you don't need or want to escape the platform.
Interesting! Why do you get riled at "steep learning curve"?
I've been asked this a lot, especially since I also research and teach cryptocurrency technology [1]. I haven't personally tried to do that. Satoshi clearly wished to maintain their pseudonymity, and I'd rather respect that. I also think Satoshi's pseudonymity is a powerful statement about decentralized cryptocurrencies, namely that their viability rests on their technical merits, with no need to know or trust their creators.

That said, I don't blame people for trying to uncover Satoshi's identity, and it's possible that the techniques in our paper can help. The big caveat, of course, is access to a corpus that includes Satoshi's code labeled with their true identity.

The only person who cares about that, though, is the audience. Advertisers as a group don't really care that much. Right now, Online Ad Spend is growing industry wide, so fraud like this is just chalked up as an efficiency loss, on growing market. No one else in the chain cares.
Stored Procedures as a Litmus Test
The taxi medallion system was put in place precisely to avoid the inherent race to the bottom that is caused by a low barrier to entry (just need a car to be a taxi) and a fixed consumer base (limited number of passengers).

That is not fiction or speculation--it is history. You can look up the problems New York had before the taxi medallion system.

I am by no means defending the taxi system. It was rife with problems (especially outside the very biggest cities): unreliable pickups, long wait times outside of a very small number of areas, not wanting to take credit cards, bad driving routes to overcharge, and a whole litany of other complaints.

The only reason why the whole system hasn't devolved into a free-for-all is that Uber and Lyft have so much VC money subsidizing ride cost that nobody can get under their prices--they are below the bottom.

The real competitor to Uber/Lyft is the company who can take the existing cabs and cab companies and insert them into an app that does real-time bidding on their end and works like Uber/Lyft from the consumer end. Austin, TX showed that once Uber and Lyft quit sucking the oxygen out of the space, competition and new options start opening up.

However, Uber and Lyft will have to both implode first. And the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent.

This is now a pretty long comment chain, and not a single comment so far about asset liquidity and start-up valuations.

So, the infinity:1 ratio of "bubble!" to "econ 101" doesn't speak well to the thinking going on here.
The `end` was our mistake—fixed!
Not sure that really matters.

Either way I learn a lot more by building a bad idea than I do by talking about it.
I'm not looking for anything seriously right now, but this looks like a fun puzzle anyway.
Maybe, evaluating a dev is tricky, judging them on soft skills alone would lead to many false positives and negatives.
Most of the commentary here is focused on the high end, but there's a bigger problem on the low end of the labor market.

Our government plows tons of money into job services, training add, and other programs at the state/local level. There are some really successful agencies, but there is a hell of a lot of waste where the system just helps enough to "check the box" that you're trying to find work and eligible for unemployment.

A huge part of the problem is that the workers don't trust the system. And why would they, when massive data breaches happen due to poor handling of data. See http://www.securityweek.com/joblink-breach-affects-job-seeke...

Unfortunately, this problem is only going to get worse as more data is accumulated by state agencies unqualified to watch over it. I firmly believe that if we reformed the data systems and the programs relying on them at the state level we could make a lot of progress on the lower end of the labor market to get people re-engaged, more productive, and start growing skills.

As those people increase skills and responsibilities shift to them, the people who are freed up will be able to become more productive and move up-market as well.

Which sounds like a pipe dream - but what person in IT hasn't been tied up with "junior work" they would be happy to unload if there was anybody to do it? And once that task finally goes away, you go on to do better things.

I dislike it because it breaks scrolling, sometimes breaks completely (Reddit pages never load under AMP for me, so there's always an extra tap needed, for example), and provides essentially no benefit. Yes, they load faster, you can make pages load quickly without it.

I disagree. If I told you break some laws, you'll be protected, you still wouldn't be able to come up with a billion dollar idea and _execute_.

Uber's success hinged on the fact that they did a lot of things right, most importantly building something that's a net positive to the end user. Breaking laws just helped them expand quicker.

The end user for Uber doesn't care at all about wages for the drivers. "Oh that's so sad... but I need to use Uber because it's hassle free."
Object-Oriented Design Patterns Explained with Stories from Harry Potter
Yeah well, that's what happens when you base your interview around algorithm trivia.
Yeah, though I haven't worked on that directly, I'm sure it's not trivial, but I think there is sufficient demand. Check out http://pypyjs.org , which uses emscripten to compile to asm.js and then bolts on a custom JIT that emits asm.js, for one example of a project that is already trying something like this.
Please don't put your crown jewels i.e. your main source repo onto an RPi. I know it sounds neat, but you should probably skimp on the free avocado toasts instead.

You may wish to edit your previous statement so that it doesn't say definitely. Even the missus is comfortable in Linux-land. She's not technical, even a little.
Not only that but I'd be willing to bet the $48 that if an email is sent regarding what happened that they would adjust the bill and all would be well.

It's a silly flaw but I don't think I'd rake them over the coals for it.
This is a good example of how to generate and write down ten ideas per day. I like how many of them start with a pitch, then the idea, then first steps. I've tried to generate 10 ideas per day, but I find that I get overwhelmed with everything else I do - I'm going to try this format for two to three ideas per day to try to make the habit stick.

First you need to learn a bit about how to use LaTeX. I learned this decades ago and am not sure what is the best introduction now, but this is sometimes recommended:

Then, look at the links in my article, and you should be able to start doing something interesting.

Likely not in production owing to maint. in the case of chain, and heat (short belt, tight radius) failures.
Why not? If you said you were going to build roads and put a gas station every 75 km that'd be quite reasonable. You could easily grow a network of stations outward from places that have good infrastructure.
My understanding is that some but not all microtype features are working, but work is ongoing.

Who is your market? I've built a product that collects data like this, but we couldn't find any buyers. The short end of it, was no one in the market has an incentive to pay for it, except for the advertisers, and the advertisers just chalk it up to an efficiency loss in a growing market.

I don't know what he's saying, but I would say that you should not have your product depend on something that is subject to change. Thus, although the vendor can do wrong by changing their product API when it is in Beta, it's still ultimately your fault for relying on something that hasn't had a stable release.

Although I get what people are saying about Beta products, the truth is that different vendors use the term "Beta" with different levels of precision, and thus should not typically be trusted not to pull the rug out from under you in some way if they haven't firmly committed to stability.

The original formulation is based on a skill acquisition vs experience chart. On such a chart, a steep learning curve is one where skills are acquired quickly, as opposed to skills that are difficult to acquire. The common "steep learning curve" = "difficult" usage is understandable, given that steep hills are more difficult to climb. It's a knee-jerk reaction for me so it's transient: you're not going to see steam coming out of my ears :)

Even Richard Hamming, who was famous for having said that greatness is having your name spelled in thelower-case, didn't name hamming distance; that was someone else at AT&T (Shannon, IIRC).
So do strippers? And hairstylists? It's rent?
My biggest problem with AMP, as a user with low vision, is that it's impossible to zoom in on images in AMP pages. I have of course checked the box in Chrome (Brave) to force enable zoom, but somehow AMP overrides that because AMP knows best that a detailed infographic or photo of a document should be no wider than my phone's display.
Good points, but anybody's who spent any time at all modeling the problem has probably worked through them.

Lots of various solutions to various problems. Sabot-type rounds, ablative coatings, small rockets to add the horizontal element of orbit, longer, mass-driver-like launchers, and so forth.

The thing is, none of this, pardon the expression, is rocket science. (It's tough, but there's not a huge amount of new ground to be covered and/or new technologies to develop). If you can accidentally shoot something outward at multiples of escape velocity, you can certainly do so on purpose.

ADD: In reference to GP's comment, with the right trajectory it's completely feasible to shoot something into lunar orbit. Maybe Verne wasn't so far off!

I've got a question for those of you who are better versed in teh VC industry than me...

> Over the past year and a half, the Ventures group has made more than 40 investments, and led or co-led eight of those deals

is there any benefit to being the lead or co-lead in a round?

The only "benefit" I can think of is that you get to be the one who set's the price along with the company. But given the number of stories about fund raising where companies will commit but don't want to be the ones who set the price this doesn't seem to be something that most VC's value.
I'm not a physicist but as far as I know a nuclear explosion releases its energy much more quickly than e.g. TNT, so just releasing the same number of joules wouldn't exactly duplicate the test unless you were able to release them in the same number of nanoseconds.
