Well, Twitter is a US company and has an incentive to please US officials.

Thus the context of terrorism in modern America and American politics is broadly relevant. It might be terrorists you don't like this time, but what about next time when it's terrorists you support? Who gets to decide what groups deserve that label? Donald Trump?

> ... corporations' right to make moral judgements about whether they wish to offer free recruitment advertising for suicide bombers should be sacrificed to the false idol of the First Amendment.

Fine if society actually needs companies to make moral judgments on behalf of the public. In the US there has been widespread opposition to the basic freedoms provided by the bill of rights over the past decade or so.

What we are seeing is a combination of companies helping with the US propaganda narrative about terrorism by silencing opposing voices. Worse, we are seeing companies like Twitter and Facebook turn into moral filters. Someone is deciding what is "terrorism", what is "fake news", etc. These are not the services that platform companies provide, they are the services that religious leaders provide.
Is this IOT too invasive?
Depends highly on socioeconomic factors I would think. I would expect much higher unplanned pregnancies in the lower income brackets than upper, because a consequence of being poor is a focus on immediate needs and little thought for the future.

But for sure it happens across the board and probably more than most people think.
I would assume it means it takes the share buttons from the articles themselves and considers those the "upvotes."
Not sure why this got downvoted. While I prefer my own customized Emacs or Vim, Spacemacs is pretty decent from the jump. You just need to activate the layer for your language.

How so? My Python Lambda functions have almost zero AWS boilerplate besides passing in the event and context to the function whether I use it or not.

I would argue that real infrastructure or vendor "lock in" is due to the friction of learning the API's associated with each cloud platform. Obviously, one can choose to use all the services of the cloud platform they will deploy to. However, and in most cases, that is not a strict requirement to use the cloud platform to begin with. "Lock in" seems more like a self-created problem than anything.
It’s an option you can turn off, so, yes, they are.
Like "building" with WordPress templates, and the like?

That's just a variant of the video / landing page, basically. Something that looks like a product (and may in fact even offer some partial functionality). But isn't like, you know, a real, actual product. Where "real" of course means sustainable.

Which again might still make sense as a business strategy. But shouldn't be confused with actually "building" something.
Raw-diet adherents might not think in these terms, but I would suggest that many of the health benefits stem from the much poorer absorption of macronutrients from raw food. Which allows you to eat quite a lot (leaving you sated), but doesn't actually provide a lot of calories (though potentially lots of other nutrients, like folate, vitamins, minerals etc., though some are easier to extract from cooked food also) Or you could eat less cooked food...
Yes, they can certainly help in cases where you are offering your images to others.

Assuming, initial size is zero. If you install 100MB of packages in layer 1.

Then in second layer, you uninstall of those packages.
Your image size will still be 100MB.

If you are optimizing for high density, a smaller size certainly helps.
I don't really work in this domain so maybe I'm missing something. If the goal is to essentially get the bare minimum needed to run a program into a Docker image why not develop your program in your desired environment and then use something like CDE [1] to copy (or obtain a list of) all the files touched in the desired invocation of the program. That copy or list can then be put into a tarball and imported with "docker import". Philip Guo even writes about this possible use [2].

Here's a silly example:

cde python -c "import numpy as np; print(np.random.randn(3, 3).tolist())"
pushd cde-package/cde-root/; tar cavf ../../cde-image.tar *; popd
docker import cde-image.tar $USER:python-randn33
docker run $USER:python-randn33 python -c "import numpy as np; print(np.random.randn(3, 3).tolist())"
docker run -t -i $USER:python-randn33 python

If you look at the resulting "cde-image.tar" you'll find it to be quite bare. Mines had only 387 entries (files and folders).

This assumption that passive investors have no cash inflows / outflows totally breaks his model. As soon as passive investors start buying or selling the index -- a real world necessity -- they are playing a zero sum game against a counterparty. Specifically, active investors could sell overpriced stocks to indexers and buy underpriced stocks from indexers, which in turn drives the price discovery. This churn allows for active investors, as a group, to gain alpha at the expense of indexers.

Piggybacking off the article's example: Suppose news breaks that Facebook has made a catastrophic legal error which will result in them losing 50% of their revenue over the next year. This is obvious to the active investors who collectively decide to sell their Facebook shares, resulting in a fall in the total value of the index equal to the drop in value for Facebook. In the time it takes the old pre-news price to drop to the new post-news price, active investors have, on net, sold Facebook and gone to cash and will have shared in a relatively small portion of the crash, and passive investors will have bought Facebook due to churn, or held Facebook as part of the index, resulting in them absorbing a larger portion of the crash than active investors.

So how does this all fit into the "active managers don't earn their keep" narrative? I think what we've seen is a long term drop in the alpha available to the active share due to things like narrowing spreads, faster response to new news, etc. So effectively active management is in a secular decline, which allows for (1) bad results for active managers on net, and (2) failure of poor performers and their removal from the market, and (3) continued real value generation by the better and remaining active managers. So this idea of conservation of alpha is also silliness because the market will always be slightly oversaturated (net negative value for money managers) or undersaturated (net positive value for money managers).

If you doubt this, read Ben Graham's the "Intelligent Investor" -- In 1949 he thought it was quite easy (EASY!) for an average Joe to earn outsized returns with a little stock research (and I think history proved him right until at least the late '70s).
We use a shallow neural network to learn about songs from playlists we scraped from Spotify, but to actually build the playlist we use some straightforward vector math.

Rarer songs/genres do tend to be all over the map, and certain super popular songs seem to show up all the time. We are still messing with the training, pulling in more playlists, and working on the playlist algorithm. Every training run produces better results!

From the comments, it does appear that we set the threshold for how frequently a song must appear to be included a little low based on the sparsity of our training data.

Thanks for taking the time to check it out!

I sort of hear you. Having said that as someone who has done a lot of hiring in the past we'd pass on someone like you immediately unless you came very highly recommended. We need a consistent process to have any basis for comparison over time. Also your "fuck you, I'm not a monkey" attitude almost always shines through during initial screening call and is the last thing we want to bring in.

I do feel for you. Maybe we're about the same age and level of experience? It sucks to be put through some one size fits all hiring process and it sucks to constantly feel like more jr people are reinventing process and best practices every few years. But what are you going to do if you are a consultant?
you have to be the boss or you have to play ball.

While teams do need leaders with experience they also need collaborative (vs combative) team players who can ride out the details and help improve hiring and work process in a positive and constructive way.

I think more experienced devs get jaded. It is a trap IMO and probably contributes to a lot of the ageism that is perceived and that really exists in the industry.

The comment we're talking about was skillfully constructed, there's only one way of interpreting it. On a phone so quoting from memory, but the second paragraph starting "that's why I am spending the time perusing HN..." is just an elegant way of saying that the first paragraph was tongue in cheek.

After reviewing parts of the bill .. I agree with Google's comments about its broad wording.

Broad wording is what politicians love, because it lets government lump-under regulations & laws more things (even (especially?) things for which is was obviously not intended).

Precise wording is what technically-minded people prefer: clarity, concision, and focus.

Surely there is a balance that can address the problems of human trafficking without also threatening the 99.99994% of online users' free speech rights who view human trafficking to be as sickening as it is, but may happen to hold some collection of "unpleasant", "unpopular", or "sideline" views that don't jive with the majority (or, at least, the politically-correct class).

I think it also speaks to the ability to look beyond short-term pain to the long-term benefits, as you alluded to in your third sentence.

It seems like Prum is taking many interpretational liberties and often engages in anthropomorphization.

"The other evolutionary answer is the aesthetic route — the resolution of differences between male and female needs and desires by behaviors and rituals that respect the other sex’s priorities and their decisions about how to pursue them."

The thing about beauty is that it is in the eye of the beholder. It is still subject to the fundamentals of natural selection. Those animals that have an eye for asthetic (phenotyipic) traits that signal something about the environmental and sexual fitness of their mate will have hearty offspring. For example it is possible that Bower birds who make the 'prettiest' nests are great scavengers in general, a trait that can also be used to collect food for their children.

Further, I doubt it has much to do with the male Bower "respecting the female's priorities and decisions about how to pursue them". The male that fails an attempt to court a potential mate is not thinking "well dang, if i dont respect her for not appriciating my nest. After all it was a half-ass attempt and dont i know it".

It is probably thinking at most, when she flys away - 'do not follow; waste of energy; reengage collecting red bobbles and find worm'

Lastly I think 'oddity' is being interpreted as 'beauty'; an animal might have something unique going on - maybe some allele that codes for a protein variant resulting in some funky red spots on its feathers; more importantly that same protein variant confers some pathogenic immunity. Now, a female bird that chooses this mate might also have a genetic predisposition that makes her more attracted to that red spotty hairdo. Two important things happen here. First these two will have offspring that probably will, if female, like those red spots, or if male, have those red spots (and the immunity); and secondly there is a phenotype - 'an odd visual asthetic' - that can be used to indicate what this birds genes are (specifically that it has this good immunity allele). Simply having the immunity allele would make it more fit, but the females would have no way of knowing. Having a phenotype that indicates something to the female will in my estimation likely increase the rate at which this allele proliferate since these beautiful red spots confer a nice environmental adaptation

Probably because syscall interception is not sufficient to create robust Linux program images. It will be an awkward moment if a stat, open, etc. that the program attempts in production doesn't work as expected because it wasn't run in development / bundling images.

So the ideal is to adopt an "abundance mentality", right? One where you're so confident and successful that you really don't care if any individual reaction doesn't go your way. It takes a loooong time to get there if you're starting from a point of having dealt with rejection (whether explicit or imagined) for years.

I don't know if everybody's experience is the same, but I was a virgin well past the normal age and every attempt to get into the romantic game crashed and burned for one reason or another. Sure, the first few times can be explained away with truisms and platitudes, but after a while, the thought that you're just broken, undesirable, unlovable starts nagging at you. Every time that some girl dances with you then disappears without giving you her number, when that OKCupid date doesn't get a followup, it's all reinforcing that thought that there's just something wrong with you. Even when you do start seeing success, that thought, that fragment of your self-image, it stays with you. Shedding that part of your identity can be rough transition, and that's if you're aware of it and trying to move past it. Otherwise it just colors all of your future interactions.
I don't know about emacs (never tried it), but I really disagree with vim. I keep saying this on Hacker News over and over again but go to your terminal, type in vimtutor and 30 minutes later you can survive in vim and not flip out anymore.

I don't think Free Speech has ever meant being required to publish others speech. Freedom of the press was meant to ensure you can say what you wish via pamphlets or starting your own newspaper, wherein you own the method of speech. That is why it was fundamental to Free Speech.

You may have a different concept, but to my way way of thinking that has always been the connection between the First Amendment and Free Speech.

All of the 64 bit programs can share the same 64 bit libraries. Once you load one 32 bit app it going to take up memory causing the 64 bit programs to killed.

There is always a performance hit going from 32 bit to 64 bit processes. There is a hit to performance when running both 64 bit and 32 bit processes on Windows. Why take the hit to support some old 32 bit apps that probably haven't been updated to take advantage of even the 4" inch phones let alone the larger phones? Why take on the support and security concerns for a few old apps - many of which already don't work on iOS 10?
