Don't generalize fish and plants, they are all not that easy to care for. I grow aquatic plants and raise lots of aquatic species, none of which are that simple.
Even just switching from yearly to monthly on his current plan would allow him to give them more money for what he's currently using. Yearly is $99 while monthly the same plan would be $120.
I think you have it backwards. Rain water, as it falls from the sky, has essentially no minerals in it.

Water acquires minerals by flowing through soil and permeable rock.
It's obvious that China is run as a state corporation. The party is like the board, which need and will have to control all major aspects of the whole "company". It's not so startling to think that any Chinese company should be controled by the government, just like any department inside a company should be controlled by the board too.

This is just my observation. I do not offer any review on it's being positive or negative.

It's interesting. Every time the topic of privilege is brought up, usually the first thing someone who disagrees with the concept of privilege does is talk about themselves. Understanding privilege is not about talking about yourself. Privilege is about recognizing that there are people are who not you, and who did not have your story.

Well, I'm going to break the bad news to you... You were lucky. You're lucky you yourself aren't disabled. You're lucky you aren't black, or LGBT. You're lucky you had two parents, and both of them were healthy enough to work. Et cetera. Maybe you are privileged in some ways, but underprivileged in others.

Privilege is about recognizing that there are many others whose identities reduce their ability to take the same risks in a society that is not free of biases or oppression. Privilege is relative.

Privilege is not about disqualifying your experience or story. Privilege is about equity. And I'm not talking about shares or options. I'm talking about recognizing that others may need a bit of uplifting to get to the same place as you.

Your family was able to take risks, and profit from it. I hope you can stand in someone else's shoes who did not have the same fortune as you, and reflect so that yourself are not becoming a vehicle that reinforces privilege.
Astranis (YC W16) | San Francisco, CA | Full-Time | Onsite | US Citizen or Green Card

We’re building small, low-cost telecommunications satellites. Our mission is to help bring the 4 billion people online who are without internet. And to pull it off we have to reinvent microwave-frequency radios in space using SDRs.

Work with engineers from SpaceX, Google, Qualcomm, and Planet Labs who have flown things in space before. Well-funded, but still a small team that moves fast. No prior space experience needed, you just need to enjoy getting your hands dirty with real hardware and be ok with struggling to do things that seem impossibly hard.

Roles we’re hiring for include:

* Embedded software -- write mission critical software that runs the spacecraft. Should have experience with microcontroller driver-level code and basic PCB design.

* Electrical -- PCB design, layout, bringup, test. Bonus: experience with fault-tolerant electronics, power systems, or high speed digital design

* Power electronics -- Design ~2 kW satellite power systems, including solar arrays and electronics for power regulation and distribution

* Fault tolerant systems -- Design fault tolerant electronics for operating in a radiation environment

* Aerospace/controls -- implement solutions to 6 DOF, non-linear control problems. Experience with spacecraft controls is a plus but not required.

* RF/Microwave -- work across a broad range designing and implementing RF systems at microwave frequencies, including LNAs and power amplifiers

* DSP/FPGA -- program FPGA hardware, develop custom DSP IP cores and integrate off-the-shelf IP cores

But it really doesn't. People will try to do simple calculations as they are used to do in Excel and they will quickly find out they can't do much beyond a simple pivot. Everybody I have see using Tableau is using calculations and a lot of them even LOD calculations. Do this exercise, check what business people really do with Metabase and Resash, I have a feeling they use them to download data into Excel...

I totally agree we need something cheap and simple, but it must have some level of "functional" calculations a la excel. Now if users were exposed a pandas dataframe in Superset or Redash or other, that would be extremely cool and would for some cases be much better than Tableau.
One of the best programming books for sure. I will gladly chip in for the third edition.

The criticisms of the Implicit Association Test don't apply to testing AI systems for racial bias.

You ask a word2vec-based system about predominantly-black names and it associates them with negative emotions, gives them negative sentiment scores, hides their comments with PerspectiveAPI, etc. Predominantly-white names are more positive. This is a problem.

The effect is so blatant and so repeatable (it's not about something fuzzy like response times, it's the actual predictions that come out of the system) that you don't have to quibble about the predictive validity of giving the IAT to humans.

You need to actively de-bias your data, because data encodes and propagates the biases of the past.

However, I do not follow this article's argument about why Fair Use will provide automatically de-biased data, especially when it leads with the fact that Google News doesn't.
That doesn't mean you don't get sworn.
Pretty neat, but that could be dangerous if someone got ahold of that information.
> ... only doing it on white people is strange.

According to the article, they found few profiles of non-white homosexuals.
> Is there actual research that shows that the sleep/eat/exercise approach works by itself for everyone that is compliant?

As far as I know, outside of crappy studies it's rare for a single intervention to even work for a majority of compliant patients/clients, let alone everyone. This is probably related to the notion of "depression" actually being multiple illnesses that share a common syndrome.
Does someone have a quick summary of where this fits into Satellite/Katello v/s puppet, which is already included in Katello.
> Breast cancer can be prevented by frequent tests and self-examinations. Colon cancer cannot.

Is that true? I was under the impression that colonoscopies can reveal polyps which can be removed, thereby preventing progression to full-blown colon cancer.
Ha! I love the idea of trap streets. From the wikipedia article, it appears that they're not protected by copyright in the U.S., though they are in the UK and Singapore.

I think my approach would be:

- take care of the plant as usual
- accumulate data (ie. data points you're providing to viewers)
- Now you have a rough idea where the data points SHOULD be,
and thus can automate the watering.

Wow, I really didn't know my natural state of being was catching on.

It's interesting to read how people actively push themselves towards minimalism. I have the opposite problem: if everything I own doesn't fit in an airplane bag, I feel bogged down.

I truly dislike buying things. Furniture shopping is just the worst.

I guess it partly depends on what you value. I value experiences, like travel and live music far more than I value a shiny thing or piece of clothing.

I've been asked advice on how to live without stuff... "How do I start throwing things away?" I don't have an answer. I just don't want whatever it is.
And what if an open source project wants to enter this field?
Sorry, to be clear, I said that Mandarin is basically the Han dialect. It is true that a lot of people interchange the names Hanyu, Guoyu, and Putonghua, though they are not exactly the same thing. Just asked my co-worker about this to be sure, he said a lot of people consider Hanyu to be Putonghua even though it's not.

It's like me telling a Chinese person that Canadian English is basically American English, even though it isn't.

Arguably though, if we invested in way better mental healthcare for all, we might save lives / improve the quality of life for enough individuals to offset the cost off mass shootings. That being said, I think we need to restrict access to guns in general. If the government wanted to take you out, an AR15 is not going to save you from a predator drone or whatever we have in our arsenal.

Suppose no cities offer tax breaks and Amazon grumpily decides to establish a second headquarters anyway wouldn't the tax revenue in that be higher as a nation than if one city offers breaks?

I sort of agree only on corporate tax breaks - pragmatically there is little point keeping them so high that most international corporations keep their profits offshore. I'd favor lowering corporate overseas rates, but only in combination with increased enforcement against tax avoidance schemes. But to me thats an unrelated to local city/state tax breaks given to corporations.
Exactly, a company should only do one thing, and just stick to it. Never try to expand. That worked for Apple and Microsoft and Google and Amazon.

For some. For me I go to a hiking or cooking event and I get 1-2 potential dates. There is a lot of noise on Tinder and similar, lots of people with interests too different from mine and lots of people that go there to just waste time. I realized the best way to find a partner was to do things I enjoyed with other people (meetup works well for this), I found my girlfriend 3-4 months after that "strategy" change.

You hire business people, project managers, scrum masters, this is what you get. No matter how much work there is, how many of them there is, they will always manage to fill up there time with meetings.

I am pretty sure it there metric for success, how many meetings they have a day.

I don't know about that. My friend tried to care for a couple Bonsai trees and they did not do too great.

Researching after the fact, we discovered that some species are notoriously difficult to care for.
The only way to stop mass killers is to ban and confiscate guns from the public.

The public should not be allowed to defend themselves with firearms. Only the government should have the monopoly on violence in a proper, respectable advanced society.
You sure your friends weren't joking? This sounds like a "ask for tartan paint" style joke that get's played on interns/apprentices.

Right, but there's more to classes in Python than just methods (inheritance etc.).

This is a shameless plug and only marginally related, but I've done a decent amount of self research in buying dumb supplements and hoping they work (especially with nootropics).

I created https://betterself.io/, open-sourced at https://github.com/jeffshek/betterself, but the gist of it was -- how do I find out what supplements are really just the placebo effect versus having a strong correlation (positive or negative) on my productivity/sleep?

Aggregating data across either 7/14 periods removed a lot of noise and let me improve on the supplements I was already buying (and let me dump out a lot).

Just googled it and found one to be surprisingly accurate for me. It may be one of those things that is so general it applies to everyone though.
Humans need a training set as well, infants or small childs won't be able to categorize based on one example, they lack experience just as a neural network. Adults can because they can connect their intuition to a lot of experience from similar objects, but I don't see why an AI could not do the same.
Yes, but that's not affected by use or vessel weight.
Oculus Asks Us to Take a Ride into a Magic Future of VR and AR
Yes, but how? 400 mil active firearms in the US alone. A huge chunk of the population that will vote against firearms being banned or taken away from them.

It's like saying "the way you stop war in the world is by making sure we all love each other". What's actionable about it? We have to work with the cards we've been dealt, not with hypothetical situations.
You're being overzealous narrowing the search space because you're assuming independence between these traits. In particular, you first assume we are only considering those between the ages of 20 and 30 in sf. But among young people this age in sf, I assume >%50 are physically fit (if by that you mean not fat/"normal"), >50% are college educated and have a job; also, in my experience, the percentage of people in a relationship varies hugely between the ages of 20 and 30 (from <20% to >75%). And of course, since SF is the center of an urban area, many people commute into SF to both work and have fun / go to bars.

And here's a quick sanity check: spend a day walking around a large tech company like FB or Google. You'll easily see over 330 people at each company that meet all your criteria (except perhaps living in SF proper).
Monitoring a brain seems reasonable - understanding how a brain will respond to hypothetical or predicting it seems insanely hard. Each stimuli can be processed in relation to others that were recently processed (like reading a book and using the words you read when speaking). I can't fathom how we could do more than track brain signals and potentially apply "how would this brain respond to this stimuli currently". There's just unlimited possibilities that are ever changing.

Though we all have to hope we uncover the source of truth in the brain so we can live forever embodied in some other medium :)
Yes, but among many poor students there can be plenty of very smart and talented ones. When you have 1.4 billion people, you got a lot of chances. The prospect of a better life and the parenting culture geared towards education are powerful motivators as well.
You do it the same way you enforce any other law. What's the issue? Are you saying laws don't work? Because society is built on laws.

Right now 50% of the guns are owned by about 3% of the population. That's your first law-enforcement target right there.
what about Dreamhost (see yesterday's story)? Or about countless cases that end up with the government not getting what they want?

There are courts, and rules, and sometimes rules mean you hand things over, but sometimes they mean you can say no.

In areas with strict gun control but access to a black market, mass killings still happen with firearms (see the November 2015 attacks in Paris or the 2017 Quebec City Mosque Attacks).

In areas with strict gun control but limited access to firearms, mass killings still happen with other modalities. A lot of things can effectively kill a bunch of human beings assembled in a restricted area: knives, machetes, bombs, trucks, etc..

The idea that restricting one modality of mass killing will prevent all mass killings is misguided. Would it reduce the frequency or the lethality ? That's debatable. Someone who has decided to pursue mass killing as systematically as the Las Vegas shooter will simply find another weapon to kill en masse.
There's typically more to OO than just method syntax. Dynamic dispatch, subtyping, etc. And saying something is OO without encapsulation isn't really saying anything, given that encapsulation is arguably the most important part of OO.

I. I live in China, so pollution can be a problem at times. Usually I don't bother to check the Air Quality Index, but it's useful to know when it's really bad, so I wrote a small script to connect to aqicn API and display the index in my desktop panel (along with weather and temperature :)

II. This year my school's schedule is really hard to interpret, with 4-days rotations out of 6 every week, plus fridays also rotating themselves... I wrote a script that checked the schedule, the holidays, fetched the list of classes for each student and created a .csv file ready to be imported in their calendar. Sadly I didn't bother to build a GUI for it, so I'm the only one using it.

III. Wrote a script to automatically swith color profile in my terminal and panel. Still have to figure out how to switch gtk colors though.

IV. I wanted to use mpd to listen to music, but be able to stream some music from youtube if I wanted to. I used youtube-dl to fetch stream URLs and titles for songs, and add them to MPD playlist.
I'd say that has more to do with societal norms and biases, not political strategy.

What he's saying is that your cure might be worse than the disease.

Nobody knows what the effects of mass-confiscation would have on American society, but the range of possibility includes civil war and massive unrest. Most people would surrender their firearms peacefully but there's a strong minority that would not do so peacefully.

Kentucky Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame
I know someone who grows and sells walnuts. They have their own trees, then hire seasonal workers to crack them and extract the meat, package them and sell in bulk to Western Europe. A truck full of shelled and packaged walnuts can be worth $100k+. But those prices have been going down in recently.

Also if you get a chance, try green walnuts. They ones that are still in their green soft outer hulls. Have no idea where you'd find them in US. But they are pretty delicious - a completely different taste than the dried ones, I think somewhat similar to avocado. The juice from the green outer hulls will also stain anything they touch, including hands. Takes a few days to get it out, but given the taste, it's worth it.
A few years ago I decided I wanted a very specific car (only 17 were ever sold in the US with the particular specs I was looking for) and the usual manual methods of searching every single car and classifieds site were too time consuming. I wrote a scraper to check them daily and generate a report of the new results. Six months later I found the perfect one, flew out to pick it up, and had an epic 1,300 mile roadtrip home.

Where did you get the impression that Girl Scouts "suck so much at understanding their audience"?

I'm fairly angry that someone would read that article and assume that if Boy Scouts decided to admit girls to help offset the decreasing memberships in Boy Scouts (noted in the article), that somehow that means Girl Scouts is to blame.

SERIOUSLY? This is exactly the kind of sexism that girls have to deal with day in and day out.

As someone who was a Boy Scout growing up, and now as a Girl Scout leader and Cub Scout leader, I find the Girl Scouts to be a much better run organization that provides a range of helpful, useful skills.

I'm in favor of letting girls and boys participate in these activities and having equal access to whichever experience is best for them. So far, the Girl Scouts have done an amazing job at making me feel welcome as an adult male leader and giving me the tools that I need to support the girls in my troop. They know what they are doing, they know how to create girl-oriented programming, and they are training the next generation of female leaders.

My rage as the apparent sexism aside, I also think that an individual scout's experience (girl or boy) will depend heavily on the adult leadership in their location (both district, troop/pack, and den/group). It's truly a YMMV situation.
You took the right decision. (well, your dad).
Junk science can certainly harm everyone, but if the research is junk then it won’t be able to harm anyone.

If you wanted to railroad someone specific into a confession you wouldn’t use this research, you would just use a lie detector. Potential harm can only arise if this research is not junk.

The real risk is that we sleepwalk into letting governments and large corporations build these systems without any discussion of the consequences.
It’s really only ‘interesting’ to the extent one finds its hard to believe that people would harm another on the basis of their supposed sexual orientation. Otherwise it just sounds like humans finding more pretexts to harm each other, which sounds like a pretty common occurrence.
Hah, nice! Somewhat related, I once worked on a project that used a high reliability PC meant for extended use in "extreme" outdoor environments. One of the issues they (manufacturer) worried about was the pcb and solder joints experiencing thermal fatigue fron lots of seasonal and night/day temperature cycles.

Their ingenious solution was to always run the system towards the warmer end of its spec, and so it included a program that would monitor the temperature inside the case, and would spawn/kill a bunch of threads doing compute intensive math in order to keep the temperature constant when the users workload wasn't enough!
