And yes if I don't spend 10 minutes writing a cover letter for your company I'm not able to do my job properly, you probably find the easiest way to find if someone is going to do his job properly. Well done !

What don't you understand about the _______ being evil? It has a globe spanning empire a secret ruling organisation. It imprisons democracy protestors. It vannishes its leadership critics. It floods the atmosphere with C02, and wages war for ressources. It acts like a crybaby whenever a dictator trys to wriggle out of its totalitarian rule by building a nuke. It acts like a bully against all of its neighbors. It gives its poor neighbors trade agreements and then takes foreign citizens rights when they actually live democracy.
It sends its data-fishermans around the world and buys up any meaningfull competition to silicon vally life. It floods the world with shoddy products and destroys their community, jobs, and well beings.

Tesla is the #1 automobile brand in owner satisfaction and you think it's important to ask Elon about Autopilot 2.0 software being late in an AMA, which has a limited number of questions.

Gotcha.

Even if the AMA was about Tesla, that probably wouldn't make the list.

4K will give you more real estate, but, on a laptop and without proper scaling, you'll be watching if from low orbit.
I presume it's sitting on a flat layer of other atoms, but they are picturing only the top layer, kind of how a focused photo has a blurry background.
How does it make the slightest bit of sense that an AMA on a space forum would be intended as a deflection from firings at a totally different company in a different field? A bunch of space enthusiasts asking about Mars isn’t going to change public perception of Tesla in the slightest. Not everything is a vast PR conspiracy.

You say you have a strong suspicion that it was intentionally focused. Did the fact that it says “about BFR” in the title give it away? Of course it’s focused.

What kind of atoms are they?
I'm not sure about those being 10x bigger in terms of pure numbers. But it's possible. Some multiplier when compared to smartphones is def possible. There's a chance something with IoT or AI will happen or come out in a decade or two that will be so obvious and so ubiquitous and not limited to just one persons use or only one is wanted per person.

Like I said in another child comment, smartphones for 5B people is already playing a bit loose with the device usage. A decent number of phones out already are cheap or old Androids or iPhones that are five generations old. A number of those people don't use their smartphone as many readers on HN might use theirs.

So thinking that way with some future advances with IoT, automation, and/or AI, there could be something that comes out and is wanted in mass numbers, more than one per person.

But really. Who knows :p

Atoms aren't the smallest thing, but that's sort of irrelevant, because this was "filmed" with a scanning tunneling microscope: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scanning_tunneling_microscope

It's not like normal photography, it's more of a visualization of an electrical current sensor. The background is just the area of the plane they were scanning that didn't have any atoms.
In that case, all data storage is already atomic.
Stuva means to stow. Kallax is a swedish village.
I can’t speak for the others, but at least for Amazon, for every clojure programmer you find, you’ll find 1000 using Java. Sure it’s a big name using it, but it’s only a few teams on a few projects. That’s kind of the point of SOA, it allows the team to do what they want without huge top level decisions on what technologies to adopt or abandon.
Kallax is the airport by Luleå.

Stuva is swedish for "pack" or "stuff".

Exactly. Wolves should never be pets. Dogs evolved to be easily domesticated and dog breeders have continued to favor those traits.

I'm really against most types of exotic pet. Large cats need a lot of room, as do wolves. There are many cases of exotic pets turning on their owners. It's really unfair to the animals.

Unless you really know what you're doing and have a significant amount of time to invest, avoid exotic pets. They can be very dangerous and turn on you. Humans have spent a lot of time domesticating the animals we keep today.
Other atoms, but further away. Effectively the background is blurred because it's out of focus. The depth of field is thin enough that this works. (These are analogies. It's not strictly correct.)
You could say the same thing about introverts. (I promise that's a genuinely thoughtful point, not an offhand dismissal.)

Research into the question of whether wolves are different will discover that wolves are different.

I appreciate the cite, but it isn't evidence that wolves will maul children just because they're ambitious. Maybe they do; maybe you're right. All we can say for certain is that we don't know.

I think you could make the same points about lions, yet there is evidence of lions loving their owners and treating them with the same emotional bonds as a family member.

Apple has been aiming for 20% of their revenue to be services. Though really they are mostly tied to their hardware. Much like Microsoft hardware, Surface, which is doing better than I was expecting, is there for their software like you state. And Google's successful ventures like Android and Chrome are there for keeping their data and advertising going.
The background is a copper plate.

"Copper plate:
The scientists used copper 111 as the surface of the animation — the same material they used 10 years ago when they built the first computer that performed digital computation operations.
Carbon monoxide (CO): ok
The scientists chose carbon monoxide molecules to move around the plate. Carbon monoxide has one carbon atom and one oxygen atom, stacked on top of each other."

I think your fears are misplaced.

R users love R because of ease of use. R does sometimes ignores ugly corner cases in favor of that ease of use (though I'm skeptical this damages the validity of the answer in anything like 5% of cases), but that's a side effect.

sklearn and pandas are great, but you still simply have to be a programmer to use them, or at least much closer to a programmer than many statisticians want to be. Allowing non-programmers to do things like

data <- read.csv(file='blah.csv')
fit1 <- lm(outcome ~ var1 + var2, data)

anova(fit1)
summary(fit1)

to read data, run a linear model, and get an anova and p-values is amazing, and massively widens the scope of people to whom these tools are available.

This omission of most quoting, the magic inference of column names, etc etc all makes R much easier to use.
I like it how someone that really knows their subject can explain things so fluidly. I have a good idea of how CRTs work but in the many diagrams and lessons that I have endured I have not read such a fluid, easy to understand overview of how a CRT works.

Not everyone has this gift of being able to explain stuff in layman's terms even if they are expert on the subject. Carl Sagan was best at it, on the other extreme you have those that use jargon beyond the audience's knowledge, pretending to know but not understanding it really. This whole Alto series has had some great writing in it.
And it's happened before - read up on NYT's Iraq War lies told on behalf of USG. This is how America works.

I use Schwab for brokerage and checking. They have a great global ATM fee reimbursement (you essentially never have to worry about pulling cash from any ATM, anywhere). They also have some of the better technology to support their services that I've seen (mobile apps, 2FA, TouchID support, etc).

I also recommend a separate account in Ally Bank for an emergency-fund because they have a great high-yield 1.20% interest rate saving account. The catch is that they're online-only, but that's fine since it'll only be used for emergency assets.
Thank you! It's really sad seeing what this field has turned into.
Oracle should have been mentioned. Author certainly seems to have a bias. Can't say he was trying to look at consumer facing companies since Intel never was really that way close to as much as the other five. Oracle probably should've been included.
If this isn't a metaphor for the programming interview I don't know what is: http://www.techiedelight.com/multiply-two-numbers-without-us...

"Implement multiplication without using loops."

"Uh, okay. What do you mean by loops?"

"Don't use a conditional loop."

"What do you mean by a conditional loop?"

"Oh, you know, the standard definition."

Time passes.

"I'm stuck. What is the answer?"

"Oh, you just have a loop on b dividing it by 2 using shift operators until it is zero."

"Wait a minute, you said you couldn't use loops."

"Did I? Ah, well."

Hackerrank/leetcode exercises are written the same way. So many times that a problem asks "Output the indexes of two numbers in the array such that their sum is K" and you write your code and the website says "INCORRECT! You said [3,6] but the right answer was [6,3]". Addition is commutative! The two are equal! And both right!
Is it possible that the argument to `head` is the _number_ of elements to return, and that the choice of indexing therefore doesn't enter the picture?
> I was simply saying that I find the "common knowledge" that torture doesn't work, to be unlikely

Torture works exceptionally well at getting people to say whatever they think will satisfy the torturer in the short term. Which is actually why it's bad at getting actionable intelligence, but very good at getting confessions.

> It just seems very convenient that things we find morally wrong end up also being bad for other reasons

It's not really “for other reasons”, the morally repugnant thing about torture (the infliction of severe suffering) is why it doesn't work to get actionable intelligence.

> That sounds like motivated reasoning, not actual truth seeking

Entities for which torture would be acceptable even if morally repugnant (including military and Intelligence agencies who practiced it in the belief that it was effective) are foremost among those that have studied it and found it ineffective for gathering actionable ibtelkigence, compared to means which do not involve torture.

> I think there are situations where it is morally justified, and that it would probably work.

You are free to provide evidence supporting your conclusions about it's effectiveness; but without it you seem to just be providing what you'd like to be true, not what you rationally and justifiably believe to be true. And, conveniently, it seems to align with your moral preference...

There is a new definition? Pushing Zealandia as a continent is mostly just the opinion of one group of researchers. Granted their opinion may be more valid than mine in this matter, I don't see that there is yet a general consensus that I'm fighting against.

You are right, of course, that the term is poorly defined and not very useful. It is defined mostly by convention and somewhat inconsistently. I don't believe that Greenland is generally considered to be a continent by anyone nor any of the islands in Indonesia. In my mind, even Australia is borderline, but it is generally considered to be a continent. Anyway, my point was that Zealandia is so far outside the conventional definition of a continent that it is not useful to call it that. I realize not everyone will agree with me, and I would be less annoyed if people were to refer to it as "A submerged continent" rather than "THE eighth continent."

All that said, I've spent far more words on the subject than it is worth; I really don't care as much as it probably appears. I'm really only taking issue with your assertion that my "personal opinion is badly formed."

Yes, you're partially right but the thing is the sheer scale and size of China's problem dwarfs everyone else's. China's problems with cheating & corruption has been around for centuries if not longer, and it's really ingrained into its core culture; Confucius and his movement came into existence as a way to fix it. It's a low trust society that relies on family clans ie no one else matters but your family. Confucius was right. The rule of law would fix a lot of this over time. The problem is that you're not going to get the rule of law without transparency and openness, especially when it comes to freedom of speech. XJ is singlehandedly doing all he can to reverse all the gains from DX.

Encouraging innovation in China is a much easier problem than this, yet both have the same pragmatic solution.

> it isn't evidence that wolves will maul children just because they're ambitious

I agree, the research doesn’t say this. It says wolves offer a lower tolerance for making mistakes, a higher cost when things go wrong and fewer aids (e.g. picking up on intonation, instinctive subservience) to help you along.

You can do it. (Our ancestors did.) You’ll just have an animal vying for your seat in the pack, because it honestly thinks (warning: anthropomorphising) it can do a better job than your weak, debilitated ass in promoting the survival of its pack. Which it sees as much as its as much as it is yours. If someone is okay with that, fine. But understand the risks, that lots of people who thought they understood the risks didn’t, and that the worst-case outcome involves your animal killing someone’s kid or having to be put down because of your hubris.
Most people don’t spend nearly enough time in a editor-specific language to keep it fresh and loaded at all time. So having to switch from a language/environment you’re fluent in to one you can merely get by in is a frustrating experience.

Watching Casey add some fairly powerful features in the editor in an hour or two, including using Windows APIs directly, was quite illuminating.
The language page shows micro benchmarks that Julia is comparable to C in performance, when optimized. I've seen various users of the language report similar experience for packages they've built. Since C and Rust are similar in performance I would assume Julia is close to Rust in performance.

You can also easily verify this yourself by looking at assembly code dumps for JITed Julia functions. You can see that the amount of code would be comparable to that of C for many common scenarios.

As for cache and data layout. That GC'd language can't control data layout and cache usage is simply wrong. Best known example is probably Go. You can nest structs to create contiguous blocks of memory in Go, just like in C. You can also create arrays of structs as contiguous blocks of memory.

Just because Java and C# doesn't work that way, doesn't mean all GC'd languages are like that.

A struct of concrete types in Julia is just like a struct in C in the way it is packed in memory. An array of structs in Julia or a nesting of structs will have similar memory layout as in C.

So I know this sounds really odd, but Julia despite being a dynamic language thus allows more optimal memory layout than a statically typed languages such as Java.

What is frustrating with promoting Julia, is that it simply sounds way too good to be true, so people dismiss the language before they have actually read up on it. I advice you to read up a bit more on the details of how the language works. It will then become clear why it can pull off stuff which seems far too good to be true.
20 Years of KDE: Past, Present and Future
There are two kind of science. One consists of incremental improvement research. Copying a master and then adding of additional perfection is the default method here.
This one usually holds little risk and is prefered by companys and western governments alike.

Then there are the great leaps, usually possible due to breakthroughs or other wild recombination of existing ideas. These are feared- for as they offer bright rewards at the end of the road- they contain unknown problems, as in sub-problems that need often a combination of further break-throughs and/or incremental research.
Fusion research is a great example here.

Some great leaps also turn into great very expensive wild goose chases.

Such risks make no buisness sense, but a central government can overcome the captialistic shortsigthedness - and attempt this research anyway and actually be better at it.

But if you can cheat (avoid risk) then cheat(avoid risk). Let others feed the crocodiles first - so chinese companys research will be as risk shy as western companys research.
Yes, I see your point. Basically I mentioned the Kepler mission results, without providing the relevant link[0]. Right there you can see that super-earths are quite high in frequency.

However, I remember a talk held sometime last year (or maybe this year) where the mission team talked about the Kepler results and they specifically said that super-earths were now the most common planet type found. But I can't find it, and can't back that up with a strong source. What's more, looking at the published results[1], gas giants are far more frequent (and that would line up with the selection bias you noted).

The only thing I can think that would back the claim about super-earths, would be considering them on radius alone, in which case yes, the 2 < R ≤ 6 R_Earth class is the most common class[1].

Edit: I was looking mainly at the mass results (in which case a SE is any planet between 2-10x Earths mass), not the radius results. But then, the definition is still a bit shaky, with different criteria[2].

For example, when using SVG shape-rendering: optimizeSpeed ? I truly hope that SVG is going to be part of this new magic, and that the shape-rendering presentation attribute is utilized. I don't think current SVG implementations get much of a speed boost by optimizeSpeed.

Speaking of which, to what extent will SVG benefit from this massive rewrite?

Uhm... they’ve been fighting gerrymandering for decades.
With your 8 months experience you are making quite broad claims. Let's take the example used in the NYT report: doctors buying reviews to get their papers published. It has a clear root that is actually mentioned in the article: "Many of those authors were clinical doctors, who in China face intense pressure to publish." See also "Young Chinese doctors and the pressure of publication" http://www.thelancet.com/journals/lancet/article/PIIS0140-67... So this is really a management induced problem (just compare the number of doctors China produces and the number of available SCI journals to publish in). I don't see why it has to take generations to address.

China is to a very large degree a relation based society. How to temper favoritism in academic evaluations is a real issue. It seems many organizations in China have outsourced this function to SCI publications. While quantification is a lesser evil their trust in SCI seems misplaced. There are for profit publishers out there who are happy to accommodate this demand for publications and these publishers are not necessarily Chinese.

BTW "neng pian jiu pian" is a derogatory term for cheaters not something people take pride in.
You accuse the other person of being "entirely wrong" and then you go and claim that all management you've ever worked with is effectively on the left-side of the IQ bell curve? I.e. Saying they are all unintelligent.
Okay, their fine is the value of their stock/options in the company. I think companies would care more about security if the board members were the ones we make examples of in cases like this.
In some cultures, cheaters try to keep it secret from the people they care about, because ostracism might follow. In other cultures, successful cheating is praised.
