If Facebook is paying the high end salaries that cause housing/rents to rise, they certainly are contributing, however indirectly one may believe, to the problem.

The point remains that both groups of workers are essential to have in close proximity.

It may not work for everyone, but where housing is in short supply, and the demand for labour is great, a working dorm/camp setup for those forced to be working homeless might be helpful.

You can make $150/hr, if your living expenses work out to $140/hr you're not making (or keeping) much.

Like co-working, maybe other setups like co-housing setups might need to come up. They obviously may not work for everyone including families.

The problem with operating laws-as-experiments are that laws are extremely difficult to change, while actual experiments are not.

> It's very difficult to get evidence before-the-fact for a lot of public policy type issues.

Yeah, and this is exactly where I constantly see mistakes made and where I'd want some data or at least secular ethical rationality first, indicating at least a direction to take with policy. For example, treatment of sexual issues was terrible decades ago (and depending on where you are in the world, still is) due to lack of basing it on secular ethics ("who is actually harmed by this behavior? and in what capacity? and how much, by some objective measurement? and for how long?") or evidence ("wow, sure seems like a lot of animals are reproducing just fine despite having a percentage of gay members, maybe it's not so bad after all"). Or look at drug laws or prostitution laws- all based on big old dusty religious books or Victorian-era repressed sensibilities instead of rigorous data or secular ethical discussion.

You might argue that prostitution/oral sex (remember sodomy laws?) are an "affront to nature" instead of perhaps a "necessary evil," but without evidence as to actual objective harm (physical/emotional pain, long-term negatives, societal negatives at an institutional level, etc.), you should only be able to act in accordance with that by yourself and without being able to impose it on others.

In court, you cannot convict someone ("act against them and their interests") unless you prove harm has been done. Creating laws that curtail anyone's freedom should be treated equally.

I am 100% certain that China has absolutely NO good empirical basis to support their banning of 68 things off the Internet other than a flawed perception of reality.
There is an increasing (and worrying) trend among liberals to call racist or misogynist anyone who doesn't demonstrate enthusiasm for the cause of the day. Concerns about being censored when accused of racism isn't exactly irrational paranoia.

I spent a year or so seeking similar work, in non-gaming applications. This was up until about 10 months ago. My experience in the area was limited and my portfolio is mostly film work and a few small personal 3D projects. I could do CGI work in 3ds Max and light dev/coding in Unity and had worked out the basic VR pipeline because I was lucky enough to get an early Vive dev kit.

I didn't have a problem finding people who needed help and had money to pay me, but these people had ideas which I had a hard time believing in. The projects had obvious flaws but I joined one anyhow. I left shortly after because it felt like a scam. Next, I developed an art installation for a high end art gallery. I loved working on this job but they could not afford to pay me well enough.

I have been offered some work doing game-related things since but I just have very little interest in gaming. I don't game myself and don't quite grasp the value in it. My interest in these things has to do with my intrigue with media concepts and engineering possibilities. There are others like me and it seems the best place for us is in enterprise applications. Sorry I can't help more.
The criminal conviction was going to mean a lost scholarship.

At no point in the story is there not something that can't be criticized. From the cost of education, to feeling the need to dress in accordance to a certain style, to the razor having been used in an unobserved manner, and the rest.

Not one part of that story can be free of criticism and seeing better solutions and preferable outcomes.

If this is a predictable process that will result in what is essentially equivalent to a 'wrongful conviction' then as far as I'm concerned it's worth it to revise the process.

Whether it's a hundred or a thousand I don't see the rationale being any different here. This system seems entirely intentional to me (for very understandable human reasons but ultimately wrong reasons), it's not just an unfortunate side-effect.

I know public services and human effort is a matter of finite resources and prioritization, but there are plenty of human hours involved in each of these cases, from judges to doctors to the victims of the crime, it is not a lot to ask for them to stop bypassing the system and put them through a formal process within the context of their crime.
Good point - Julia does LinAlg with BigFloats and other "exotic" numbers, if you wish. But it definitely also integrates LAPACK/BLAS, and Tim Davis' SuiteSparse.
Hopefully Postgres will also use them for joins? That’s the real performance win, since an equijoin is like N * WHERE X = Y.
Even if it was transmitting instead of using a side-channel like current draw... With only 3.5 microwatts, the phone would still have to be very close to the base station. As a comparison, "normal" cellphones transmit something around 100 to 1000 milliwatts, so at least 10^5 more powerful.

EDIT: This Wired article has a lot better information:

https://www.wired.com/story/this-cell-phone-can-make-calls-e...

"... Some key components of Talla's phone are housed remotely to save power. A nearby basestation has circuitry for converting and connecting to the digital cellular network, currently via Skype. The prototype basestation uses an unlicensed frequency, limited to low-power transmissions. Because the phone relies on those signals for its energy harvesting, it has a range of just 15 meters from the basestation."

And it looks like they use backscatter, which would be "transmitting" signal and not using a side-channel.
We currently do event-by-event data processing. We are working on adding microbatching features.

Wallaroo provides the infrastructure plumbing to write resilient, scalable applications. You write your code to our scale-independent APIs (currently Python 2.7 is supported. Go and Python 3 coming later this year). Wallaroo hands laying out your data and computations across X number of processes which can change as the application is running. We have built in message replay, are working on completing exactly-once message processing (at-least-once delivery with deduplication). Wallaroo handles the infrastructure concerns so application programmers can worry about the business logic.

"the machine learning scenario" is rather broad so I can't answer that specifically. We just starting working with a company that is interested in the ability to take the Python their data scientists are writing on their laptops and move it into production with no logic changes. Currently they end up rewriting in a JVM based language and often have to switch machine learning libraries.

There's a 15 minute video I did about scale-independence that includes code and a demo that you might be interested in:

https://vimeo.com/234753585

The vision here is to make it much easier to build and scale distributed data applications in general, not just event-by-event. We are in the process of putting together functionality we need to support microbatch type workloads and jobs that have a beginning and end.

re: Too general/too specific. my personal email is in my profile. i'd love to hear from you on what was too general and what was too specific. We did our best with explaining but we knew that we would still end up being off the mark in some cases. If you could spare the time to drop me some notes, I'd appreciate it.

Sorry if that answer is a little rambling. We had a number of long hours while cleaning everything up for the first open source release and I'm exhausted.

Of course it is probably not intentional on their part, they probably have never tested with an adblocker. Even if they were aware of the issue, I can't imagine it being very high priority.

> but before that you have to go through several iterations of failure with a bunch of costly entitled developers before you get something which sort of approximates what you wanted and is so internally broken its almost impossible to extend

This is too often true, subject to the following observations:

- Project failure is almost always a management failure (no citations needed, really), because:

- The thing to be built is poorly conceived and explained by the leadership/stakeholders, who are seldom the devs

- The delivery schedule is wildly optimistic or infeasible, because unrealistic promises were made to customers or investors

- The operational parameters of the system (peak users, load, transactions, data size, availability, etc) are overestimated by the leadership by a couple of orders of magnitude and pushback tends to be career-limiting

- When the leadership eventually realizes the failure of its vision, it "pivots", and keeps pivoting at the speed of a turbine, "reframing" the so-called vision.

- The "costly, entitled" developers often come from some body shop which pays them $25/hour and charges $75 (illustrative values only)

- Costly, unentitled, competent developers probably ran for the hills or were rejected because they weren't "with the program" - they said something realistic in the interview.

- The process is not cheap or easy or risk free, yet many companies hire and pay as if it is.

- The mere act of getting cohesive requirements out of people is one of the hardest parts of software, and one of the largest reasons for failure.

- The rest isn't easy, either, unless it's a conceptual copy of some vanilla CRUD system that does nothing novel or "web scale" (whatever that is).

OTOH, I read some devs stating that software development is just bolting legos together, what's the problem?

If you are referring to these devs, I see your point, but they and their ilk are the creations of corporates and startups who pushed the view that devs are commodity items - resources - who aren't really skilled and can be churned out of bootcamps and will be good enough to meet the deadlines.

Now I am not criticizing bootcamps or the people who make it through them. There are many smart people who have no formal CS background who could make good devs, given time and experience. There are even more people who should not be allowed near a computer, sadly, who IMO are more commonly encountered.

I am criticizing the social forces that put money above useful education, profit above knowledge, ideology above science and engineering, the short term against the entire future.

Mechanisms to enforce medication usage in the community do exist, usually by in-person visits to supervise taking medication. One such program is the "Assertive Community Treatment" model that exists in a couple different places in the US, here's a report from the King County (WA) group: http://www.kingcounty.gov/~/media/health/mentalHealth/Docume...

I think the actual 'enforcement' in the way you are thinking would be backed up with some kind of court ruling that they were required to take the medication, I'm not so sure how that angle would work.
I agree!

Those applications are called medical alert systems, and there are various kinds. Some of the systems contain GPS, while other work with a radio base station to inform if the person has fallen and can't get up.

At this point, we should stop considering psychology science. Instead of a real search for how the universe really works, it is about getting a pet hypothesis, acquiring some data, and then torturing the data with various statistical instruments until it confesses what you wanted it to.

If science is done right, it should not matter what the underlying biases and beliefs of the investigator. However, especially in psychology and social sciences, you can predict the conclusions of an article by just knowing who the authors are and what their pet theory is.

Read up on purchasing power. Purchasing power is what your money can buy, which is the more correct measure.

Its the same reason it doesn't make sense to directly compare programmers salaries in San Francisco vs. Pittsburgh. If (made up numbers) 120K$ in SF buys the same lifestyle as 90K$ in Pittsburgh, it means someone making 120K in SF is roughly as wealthy as someone making 90K in Pittsburgh. Certainly saying that the SF programmers make 1.3x more is true, but the more fundamental question is the lifestyle that the income affords you.

Some companies make money by licensing software. They are less willing to publish code since, to them, code is revenue and they don't want to give it away. Internet-media companies view code more like a required expense. Giving code away 1. helps reduce carrying costs 2. attracts developers 3. forces out of dependency debt, 4. encourages developers to make their code better 5. builds skills that transfer to other companies 6. make it easier for us to find people who already know the tech we use. etc. etc. There are TONS of upsides. Case in point: we can hire a Hadoop developer. Had we never open sourced the code, we'd have to keep an army of developers in house for a decade. Instead, they can leave to form startup companies (if that's what they want to do) and we still get the benefit of their creative effort. We also invested in one of those companies, so when they make money, we do too. Developers want to work at Yahoo (really) since it will help them build skills they can take elsewhere, or they can stick around and use those skills internally. Either way, why would a developer work on proprietary code when they can work on open source code which will give them more options.

There's a good give and take in the tech world. Sure, our code has helped Facebook and Google eat our lunch. But we don't blame the tech sharing for that -- since they've contributed quite a bit too. We work rather closely with them on a bunch of projects -- which help us all.

Sure, there are some projects that we'd consider the "secret sauce" that really differentiates us from others. We won't open source those. But a lot of code is there 'cuz we need to move bits around quickly. Sharing that code is not going to make or break a multibillion$ enterprise. It's actually going to help make it better in the long run.

To so make money: our sales people to do that, not the tech people. The sales people are given amazing products, and huge audiences to sell to the advertisers. Whereas a podcast might have a million subscribers, a popular radio program have 10 millions listeners, a TV show getting 50 million viewers, or a wireless company have 150 million subscribers, we have over a billion users -- and the advertisers LOVE that. So we all sell ads, and who ever does that better wins. But as tech folks, we're collaborative. It's not really a new thing, it's very much part of the fabric that has helped the internet evolve.

Agreed. Years ago, my wife made a suicide attempt that I stopped. We agreed together to go to the psych hospital after for evaluation. It was a mistake. They forcibly kept her for 3 days. She has a huge anxiety about being trapped places since she was neglected and abandoned as a kid. It didn't prevent her from hurting herself any more than she would have, and made things much worse afterwords because it was traumatic. You have absolutely no control or agency once you're inside. I would never bring her back under any circumstances.

Since I’ve been downvoted and I can no longer edit, let me try to explain my theory:

I’m guessing they only use the camera to read the positions of the dots projected onto the face. I don’t think they care about the ‘color’ of the face or how hot it is thermally.

They’ve said they’re projecting the infrared dots? Have they said they’re doing any other kind of infrared illumination like the kind that can show blood vessels?

I’m curious to see if face paint (assuming it reflects IR to a reasonable degree) interferes with FaceID. If it does they’re using more than just the dots for geometry. On the other hand if it doesn’t then the can’t be paying attention to things like IR emissions from the skin since it would be covered and thus heavily dampened.
