”You cannot inspect your way to quality.”

Exactly.

Once you understand (grok) this, a lot of efforts become obviously silly. Like standardized testing regiments for K-12 public education.

Source: Former QA/Test manager, back when we still pretended to care about quality, eliminating defects, reducing costs.
Quality is really hard to judge. I bought a $500 desk on Wayfair last month, and was unhappy with the quality: cheap-o joining and cheap-looking laminate. It was chipped and broken when we got it, and because it would be too expensive (and worthless) to ship back, they just refunded our money and told us to donate it. I found a veneer desk locally for 50% of the price that I'm much happier with.

I don't really place blame with any one thing, but a mix of a bunch of factors. For the boat, they were motoring much closer to the side with the runway, instead of the side further away. Its not technically wrong, but if they were exercising any caution at all would have been farther away and likely out of our glideslope. On our side, we should have checked more deliberately that nothing was in our path. On base, I saw nothing, but the time we were on final I guess the boat had moved and was then in the way of the runway and neither I nor the pilot in command saw it.

Mostly though, I think there just should have been much more regulation given the number of parties operating in the same space.

"The FreeRTOS GPL exception text follows:

Yeah. Nice.

Without pondering it too much (& IANAL), clause 1 seems ok, but 2 is going to contradict the GPL. Calling their license "GPL plus exceptions" is probably going to get them yelled at by the FSF.
I did the human version of this when I was a newbie driver. I learned to predict traffic lights changing to red by watching the pedestrian signals as I approached an intersection. All the lights all over the city followed the same pattern. Then one day I happened upon one where the pattern was different, and I stopped for no reason at a green light, like an idiot.
Any European industries that would be killed by gas imports running at $6/MBtu died years ago. As recently as 2013, imported gas prices peaked over $12 and spent the whole year above $11:

https://ycharts.com/indicators/europe_natural_gas_price

Of course no industry is going to voluntarily pay more for fuel than it must. If gas imports from the US to Europe stay around $6, there is little direct benefit at present, but it provides competition to ensure that import prices won't rise to such high levels again.

Thank you for correcting my reading-comprehension failure. (That sounds sarcastic, but it isn't.)
I bought from one of those mattress in a box companies. They had free return with pickup so I figured it was pretty low risk and I was very happy with the result. Best mattress I've owned.
Thanks, I am big fan of Werner. I was deeply touched by his Kaspar Hauser film, which is also based on a true story.
This is fantastic, what pulled you into APL first?
Yes, I believe competition can exist, but the time for competition is the 'market' setting the proper price for a procedure (in something like a dutch auction contract).

A single payer system can (and should) still have competition. Not when someone in need of services is going to a doctor, but when the single "insurance plan" is deciding which local doctors to contract with at a given rate.
If something is really standardized and, especially if you can try it out beforehand like an office chair, it can make sense if you find a particularly good deal online. Got an Aeron that way and still going strong after 15 years with a free warranty repair at about 7 years.

But yeah, in general, furniture like sofas really needs to be experienced, it's almost impossible to return, and you'll hopefully have it for a long time. Of course, even experiencing something in person is no guarantee and, as you say, a lot of furniture these days is basically crap.
Anecdote in support of your claim: A friend of mine who now lives in SF was recently visiting and this 'uber for dog walking/sitting' business came up. He said that it's very common for people (himself and his friends with dogs who live in the city) to do exactly what you state: Find someone who doesn't suck using the service and make a deal on the side with them for cheaper than what they would pay through the service.
Indeed, dog walkers are even listed in that article (from over two years ago) as being prone to "platform leakage". From the fourth-to-last paragraph:

"As soon as you find that cleaner, that dog walker, that landscaper who’s right for you, you want them in your pocket, at your disposal at all times, without needing to go through a searching-platform process again."
Generally, any company that has high turnover or is replacing senior level jobs on a regular basis should be reviewed with suspicion. High turnover is an indicator of the work not being commensurate with the pay or a toxic environment. Lots of senior-level openings in a company that isn't brand new signifies a company with leadership problems or funding problems.
So why don't you see the same dynamic in South Korea?

I think the author's conclusion- that this scenario is unrealistic and would never happen given today's understanding of machine learning techniques- is extremely optimistic. NNs are demonstrably[1] not robust image classifiers.

In my opinion, it's far more dangerous to downplay the limitations of this technology and embolden snake-oil purveyors than it is to demand an inconvenient degree of rigor and caution in reporting results.

This assumes a much higher level of complete acceptance of propaganda than I think is reasonable, especially considering the people driving labor policy are presumably in the more elite levels of society.
The law puts most of the burden on drivers quite intentionally, and I think properly. My general impression is that the average driver doesn't understand the law and don't appreciate the extent to which it is designed to favor pedestrians.

To give one example, drivers are required to yield to pedestrians in cross walks and to pedestrians approaching crosswalks while pedestrians are only required to "exercise due care," which is a much weaker requirement. If you want to see how weak this requirement really is, look at the case law. In many cases in which the average driver thinks the pedestrian is in the wrong, the law disagrees and would place the lion's share of blame on the driver.
High pay, interesting work that makes the world better, and flexible low hours =)
I bought one online from Costco.com. After I ordered, they sent me a fabric sample and made me sign a sheet that had things like "I have checked the fabric sample and the color and texture are to my liking", and "I understand that this couch is firmer than most".

When it arrived they put it together and everything was fine. Then a month later a seam popped. I called them and they said, "We can send someone to fix it, no charge, or give you $230, your choice". I assume $230 was the cost of repair.

This was way more interesting that I could have imagined! I really like how they present the idea of a color map as a high bandwidth interface between the computer and brain. They then proceed to figure out how optimize this interface given a number of tricky constraints about human color perception. Their explanation of color perception using basis functions was a great way to understand how human vision works.

Through an established maid service? Yes. Though, like the sibling post, they did an awful job and I eventually found a private person to do the housekeeping. I have no idea how those housekeeping services stay in business - I tried several and they were all terrible. Nothing illegal or sketchy, just not good at cleaning.
I wrote this earlier on another forum but I'll repost it here:

I've seen Shigeru Miyamoto speak at several game developer conferences over the years. He's absolutely brilliant, a really nice guy, and there's so much to learn by studying his work and listening to him talk. Will Wright calls him the Stephen Spielberg of games.

At one of his earlier talks, he explained that he starts designing games by thinking about how you touch, manipulate and interact with the input device in the real world, instead of thinking about the software and models inside the virtual world of the computer first. The instantaneous response of Mario 64 and how you can run and jump around is a great example of that.

Shigeru Miyamoto GDC 1999 Keynote (Full): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LC2Pf5F2acI

At a later talk about how he designed the Wii, he said that he now starts designing games by thinking about what kind of expression he wants it to evoke on the player's faces, and how to make the players themselves entertain the other people in the room who aren't even playing the game themselves. That's why the Wii has so many great party games, like Wii Sports. Then he showed a video of a little girl sitting in her grandfather's lap playing a game -- http://youtu.be/SY3a4dCBQYs?t=12m29s , with a delighted expression on her face. The grandfather was delighted and entertained by watching his granddaughter enjoy the game.

This photo -- https://i.imgur.com/zSbOYbk.jpg -- perfectly illustrates exactly what he means!

I bought a mattress from Amazon and it was fine. I probably wouldn't have considered it if it weren't so much cheaper than local alternatives though.
This means that your browser could not verify the site's SSL certificate with the issuer's OCSP server. It could be that the cert has been revoked, or the OCSP server is broken, or even that the CA changed the location of the OCSP server (Firefox permenantly caches the server's IP address to prevent certain types of attacks, so this is a pretty bad thing for the CA to do, but it does happen.)

A big framerate drop is to be expected after several rotations, as the numerators and denominators become very big.
I bought a mattress and a divan online.

There's no point looking at a mattress in person; poking and lying down on it doesn't tell you what it's like to sleep on, so you have to go on reviews anyway.

A divan is just a box for the mattress to go on. I wanted some particular mechanical properties, which i could check by sending emails. Staff in a shop wouldn't have had a clue.

Has that changed? I know several who have complained about needing to return it in its original packaging. At least I'm pretty sure it was IKEA that they conplained about - and there have been several.

I'll defer to you, as I haven't actually even been in one, personally.
Just curious how one would define that limit. Would it be correct to define it as:

Same. Replaced around 6 Yubikeys, some of which were associated with GitHub. Fairly seamless replacement process (but have obviously yet to recieve the replacement keys yet..)

Shitty situation, but good response from both GitHub and Yubico.
Keep in mind that fast food companies and a large share of food manufactures thrive on using high amounts of sodium in their processed foods to increase shelf life and improve margins (i.e. from factory until bought by consumer). I don't doubt the validity of that research, but I would be interested to see who funded it. And of course all humans need sodium to maintain a healthy balance, but many foods we eat today unexpectedly have excessive amounts of sodium in them.

"normalizing" is a bad search term, it can mean a lot of things. And whitening images is pretty much dead. What is done is subtracting mean colors from each pixel, but those are means over the whole database, not per-image, so that keeps brightness shifts intact.
Don't work for CrateJoy
We all see advertisements from YC companies who are hiring on the main page, but we're not allowed to comment. This is a shame, because several of these companies engage in discrimination, or otherwise have bad practices.

I've seen reports from people who feel they were discriminated against by Cratejoy in hiring and I personally feel that they were ageist in passing on me. (but it's a good thing, I ended up getting a much better more senior position.... in retrospect working there would have been a mistake on many levels, so they did me a favor.)

There's really not much excuse to not have your hiring act together... make it objective as possible, do it professionally, and only use employees as interviewers who can be professional, but also, make it about skills and wisdom, not a trivia challenge.

And for god sake, if multiple people think you are discriminating, that means either you are discriminating or you're doing a terrible job of evaluating them and they are left with that as the best guess as to why they were passed over.
Yep :). I don't agree math defines reality however; it can describe reality, it doesn't define it.

> Say the United States decides to allow decentralized cryptocurrencies to become the dominant medium of exchange in the US; say it even gets rid of the $USD. What problem do you think this would solve? (assuming the US gov desires to continue all other operations in exactly the same manner as it does currently).

In such a scenario, the US government cannot continue all other operations as it does currently, as its activities are financed by issuing practically risk-free USD bonds (if the US government defaults on its bonds, the USD is gone).

In a market with decentralized money, the US government would have to issue bonds on equal footing with profitable, private enterprises, and would consequently have to pay market interest rates. No market would lend out to a government in a decentralized currency when that government is unwilling or unable to pay back, thus removing the option of issuing more bonds to pay dividends on current bond issue. It just wouldn’t work as it does now.

No wonder the US can be the world super power when it can start a war and have the rest of the world finance it by buying the bonds the US government issued to pay for it.
Well there are more things which, given the experience, I don't want: corporate bollocks, high discipline competitive working environment, being underpaid/overworked, working in low cost/outsourcing center, insufficient hardware, strict development environment fixated on validation, windows machine with antivirus eating most resources, bloated backend running locally and eating up the remaining resources, pushing and manipulation understood as "teamwork", managers worrying about their cozy position and not seeing or not wanting to see through this "teamwork", begging or even asking for holidays, with the time diluting number of experts and increasing number of those lazy and incurious. Otherwise I'm open minded like a 18 years old virgin.

Above all, I'd like to learn Clojure. For whatever reason, it seems most of the Clojure devs I've met are able to spin more magic with the language than any other "type" of dev I've met. Plus I think Rich Hickey is a genius.

I haven't looked into Elixir much at all, are there obvious pros to using it over an older/more established functional language like Clojure or Scala?
I would argue that you probably haven't written any SQL of significant complexity in which to observe its composability if that is your assertion. Subqueries, table-valued functions, SProcs that return tables, and more allow you to compose operations into your desired final query.

That said, it is largely used in a giant procedural way most of the time, and is certainly not an ideal functional language, but the fundamentals of things like, map, filter, reduce, sort, etc. are there.
Interesting write up. I was just watching a video yesterday which had a pretty good example of the testing aircraft manufacturers do for this scenario. It’s called a velocity minimum unstick test. Some impressive flying.

I bought a mattress online. I read somewhere that people who buy mattress that they have tried out in store aren't more satisfied than people who buy one online sight unseen - lying on it in the store doesn't really tell you what it's going to be like sleeping on it long term. So I just went for it because the price was right. Turns out I'm happy with my the mattress.

Pillows are pretty much all the same to me and are replaced regularly so I'll buy those online if there's a sale.
I've used AWS at a former job and I use DO for my own site. $5 a month is pretty affordable for a small site, and its simple.

Frankly its probably worth the money instead of wading through all the options amazon has to pull together something small for myself. Amazon has a lot of options and while for large businesses thats great, and they try to keep it simple, it honestly isn't.

Plus DO has really excellent documentation on how to do things like set up X.
I got in touch with Scheme twenty years ago. Read the specification (R5RS) and that was the first time programming in Lisp made sense to me. Because the specification was so short, I could remember every detail after a short time. Also the syntax was so predictable unlike Common Lisp with its myriad of operations. Without reading too many books about Scheme I started programming in it. Learned about tail recursion. About destructive vs non destructive operations. About functions that always returned values. Then I got in touch with SICP ("Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs"). Man, that book was a revelation.

Scheme was a breathe of fresh air coming from C/Pascal/Java. It was a totally different way to tell the computer what I wanted to do (although I had similar thoughts several years earlier programming my HP28s calculator in a Forth like language, then later when I started using Mathematica).
Team Advocacy/Assertion
Good point, I shouldn't have said the author there.
The bovine DNA has around 22,000 genes: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2943200/

The claim that 5,500 of those are in common with reptiles is unsubstantiated. The claim that they came directly from reptiles and not from a common ancestor is absurd.
We tried the Whistle 3 for our do. It only wants to update every 10 minutes unless you're in "track mode" at which point is every 60 seconds. A dog can cover a lot of ground in that time; so it's OK if the dog just wandered out of your yard; but not useful if he's taken off after a deer (particularly because our local park has marginal cell service).

The ones hunters use are only about a 2.5 second delay.
