That's kind of why I said "hysteria." I was thinking of the blanket suspicion of any and all GMO products because they are GMO, not more nuanced thoughts such as yours.

Technologies are just tools. It's all in how they are used.
i'd say a lookup table is more easily edited than a parameter in a function (provided that you are editing a function with less parameters than the entries in the lookup table).
Can't we just build a "X for Y"-framework that allows Y-people to do their work more efficiently while profits are distributed fairly?
I agree mismatched comments/code is a huge warning sign. But I think requiring standardized comments is a problem.

When I started out every function had to have a header comment, with name, inputs/outputs, description of purpose/etc. It was significant extra work to keep that up to date. I could update a function three times in a day, and have to rewrite the comments three times to check it in.

And in the end, I know the name of the function. I can see the inputs and outputs. The only part of those comments that were occasionally useful were purpose, details of which often changed with edits. And in reality, as long as the function isn't hundreds of lines long (another problem), I can read it and discern exactly what it's trying to do.

Comments that were most useful said stuff like "this looks weird or dumb, but we had to do it this way because of this thing we and you probably didn't expect in the data/system/etc"

I'd argue you're conflating simple with easy; the code might be simple, but I'd wager given the inability of Haskell'ers to even explain what a monad is successfully, that few would find it easy.
And like CGI in movies, you get the best results when the source material only needs slight enhancements.

How Adversarial Attacks Work
I disagree.

A library works within the style and bounds of the base language.

A DSL intends to re-define the base language and invent new keywords and a unique control flow.
Nobody's acting like drivers are the only people causing problems. However, drivers seem unique in their ability to feel that they're doing everyone else a favor by allowing them to cross THEIR roadways.

Heavier, faster-moving vehicles are typically expected to yield to slower ones, whether on the roads or on the local multi-use path, because they're the ones likely to cause the most damage when a collision occurs.
But ensuring correct datasets is a problem that people new to machine learning have to be made aware of. It's easy for people to see that NNs are good with 'noisy' data and incorrectly assume they can throw any data at it and get good results. And I think the quote is a false dilemma -- its not like we can't have multiple different stories for different problems. Make up / find a "truthy" story to spread for misoptimized utility functions if one doesn't exist, but there's no need to kill this useful story in the process.
How that plays out would be very sensitive to the exact formula for tenure.

I think Haskell is very akin to C++ in terms of learning curve.

There are a ton of concepts you have to learn up front to even get started. The compiler is generally unhelpful if you've never dealt with it before. There are a lot of approaches to solving a problem and the language does not make it clear which approach is preferred when. Unless you're a masochist, these qualities can be quite off putting.

I think a language like OCaml is a good entry point into functional programming. The compiler errors are really useful. The language pushes you towards a sane functional approach. The learning curve is pretty smooth, too.

My alma mater seems to agree and FP with OCaml in the upper level CS intro course (https://www.seas.upenn.edu/~cis120/current/index.shtml).
So light is an easily solvable problem as are windows. We can simulate views out windows with television screens that project the outside and the light with actual light from the outside using light tubes and bulbs. These aren't insurmountable problems. You also wouldn't have to worry about cleaning windows or breaking them, you'd have storage for vehicles already built into your top layers and you already have to move lots of dirt in building skyscrapers, but you usually can't build parks on top of skyscrapers.

PostgreSQL has had native replication support since version 9.0 which was released in September 2010.
Yep; it's a way better case for a coordination website. That site is Rover, which to my knowledge is doing just fine. (Wikipedia suggests they cleared $30 million in revenue last year.) They offer dog-walking too, but are probably a bit safer because the boarding offer is a good incentive to just stick around and use one site for everything.

(Rover also provides insurance on each deal, a very un-Uber approach that's actually more protective than most low-tech arrangements.)
That sounds very interesting conceptually.

Businesses have been moving further and further into short-termism; with the next quarter being the most important metric. This is partly due to investors also being short-term, and voting on the board who will bring the most value in the shortest period.

I'd be interested in taking part in a Long-Term stock exchange, even if it is an experiment at this point.

But, less than sixty years hadly seems like the distant past. However, that's mostly an addendum. You may not have clicked the Wikipedia link but, if you do, you'll see quite a few changes.

It turns out that I'm older than the State of Alaska and Hawaii. I'm am pretty old, but, damn it! That's not the distant past. Dinosaurs roamed in the distant past. I am not a dinosaur. Well, I'm not a fossil.

Edit: By the way, not all of the Hawaii territory is part of the State of Hawaii. And some islands are changing their borders all the time.

I agree.

Presumably he measured it the way he did because it's easier to measure, rather than because he thinks it's the more meaningful way.

It's funny, even though "Eats Lunch Together" is really important to me, I'm also surprised to see it so high on the list.

Lunch time is an opportunity to socialize with your colleagues. It's also a great time for spontaneous collaboration to take place. I've worked at a startup where great ideas were born out of engineers, operations managers, and customer service reps eating sandwiches together. It's cross-pollination that does good for everyone.

A lot of companies also combine lunch with talks, presentations, or team building activities. In general, I care deeply about working with people that I look forward to chatting with during the day.

If you can imagine a place where most people eat alone at their desks, what else might this signal? Maybe people aren't friendly? Maybe everyone is expected to work through lunch? Maybe people are very exclusive and leave the office in group without inviting "outsiders"?
That's actually a somewhat ingenious solution to housing tbh. You could also utilize the interior space for hydroponic farming, etc, which would create attractive greenery.

I consistently make ~3x as much clips as I sell "on average" and it still always trends down (e.g. if I build up a few k of stock, it trends downwards to 0 and stays there). If that's randomness, the data is presented quite badly.

Perhaps an entire page is needed to explain that what you suggest is not at all the reason :)
Using your search, at least for me, none of the snippets on the first page use normalization in the sense that you are in this context. So including that term just got you a lot of noise. And the only reference to whitening on that search page is not using it in an input pipeline, it is using ZCA to detect images that are modified to be adversarial.

If you want some better data than unreliable searches, go download pretrained models for popular architectures and popular frameworks and look at the input pipelines for them. You'll find that whitening is absolutely not common for image classification/detection today (yes, there are still some cases where it is used, but typically on smaller datasets where you can't get that invariance from data, which is the way you prefer it to be - if one class actually is more likely to be present in dark images, you don't want to kill that information).
If a failure mode has never been reported in the wild, why is it so important to tell a juicy story about it, at the expense of attention to empirically observed failure modes?

Mashape Rebrands into Kong and Launches Kong Enterprise
I guess you can make it hit the runway, if you want. I watched a doc with them testing planes and they, quite literally, put some lumber on the tail to protect it from damaging the metal when they hit the runway with the tail. As in, they were intentionally trying to hit the runway with the tail.
I am so surprised that not more people want a real office.

I don't mind sharing an office with 1-3 other people to save real estate but come on this whole sit down in the middle of the open floor and code is garbage.
The tail wont hit the ground because the engineers designed the tail in a way so it wont hit the ground.
> Gene" is often used as a technical term to refer to a stretch of DNA that produces a protein.

How does something like pleiotropy happen if a gene simply codes for a protein? Is the thing that is pleiotropic actually the protein?
It immediately jumps out at me that "Team is diverse" has such a high bar. Is this the HN/San Fransisco bubble in action?

In all of the interviews I've done as both interviewer and interviewee, not once has "diversity" been mentioned. In fact, it's so strange that it feels oddly hostile to me. It's that weird. I can't fathom asking someone who's interviewing me: "Do you have enough latinos in your team?"
Personally, I doubt it barring exceptional circumstance: previous achievement in another field, metrics that can't be ignored (tough to get via bootstrapping, though)...

I have heard from some seed stage investors that they will do priced seed rounds -- even some that claim to prefer it -- so there may be technical exceptions that really reinforce your point.

To be fair, the workshop's website also asks about previous fundraising. I've found this always comes up during fundraising discussions, too. Partially because the company's finances matter, but also because investors want social proof. I don't think this is as negative as it seems: early stage startups are black boxes, and any signal is helpful, I suppose -- and there's some sense that previous ability to 'sell' is indicative of future success. (I try to empathize with the investors on this one; they see a lot of pitches.)

Yep. I'm sure there are plenty of for-profits doing meaningful stuff too. Given OP's original question, seemed like he was missing non-profit from his search.

I'd suggest searching (non-profit + meaningful for-profit).
It's a field in which international collaboration is forced - no amount of intelligence or money will let a nothern-hemisphere observatory get a shot of southern-hemisphere stars, for example.
You plot the visible gammut of your favourite color space (RGB, CIE LUV, CIE LAB, preferably one that is perceptually uniform) in 3D space. You get either a cube (RGB) or something that resembles a skewed cube (CIE LUV/LAB). Then take the corners which are farthest apart and place a line between them, or place a line between any other two points which are sufficiently apart from each other. You sample however many points you need along that line and that is your color scale.

Now one variation is instead of a straight line, you draw a spiral along it. And you got yourself a CUBEHELIX color scale (https://www.mrao.cam.ac.uk/~dag/CUBEHELIX/). Though CUBEHLELIX works inside a RGB cube and not a CIE LUV/LAB mesh, but the principle could be applied to other color spaces, too.

One thing to watch out for when working with these non-linear color spaces which have a weird shape in 3D space is how to deal with colors outside of the gammut. Simple clamping only works in RGB, in CIE LUV/LAB it's not that simple, because for any given L the range of UV/AB varies. And often times clamping is not the most (perceptually-)accurate solution.
Location doesn't matter as much as your ISP. If GitHub would have a peering with your ISP or'd buy transit from them the speed would be way better, even from Europe to the west coast.

I am frankly getting sick of the notion "use the right tool for your problem", when discussing programming paradigms. No, programming paradigm is not a tool. Programming language is a tool, data structures are tools and algorithms are tools. I don't believe there exists such and such problem, that can only be solved/expressed in OO way and the only true way is to do it in OO way or the best way if you prefer.

I would probably go for some middle ground such as if (year > 0) then shares * Square root (years).

Just because someone has held a stock for 20 years does not necessarily mean they are currently interested in the long term. But, it probably points in that direction.

>Do we? I think the world needs at least one private healthcare market powerhouse to drive the advancement of medicine -- right now, it's mostly the US.

1/3 of the research in the US is already publically funded, there's no reason that amount couldn't be increased and there's no reason why other governments couldn't also drive up public investment.

>I think a more free healthcare system would advance faster, save lives, and be cheaper. We have one of the most government distorted healthcare economies in a world, including compared to countries with universal health care systems.

But your system isn't more free. Universal healthcare is obviously the most free system.

>So basically, the common worldview that we need more government intervention is garbage. We just need government intervention in the right places (and nowhere else), preventing fraud and holding criminals liable.

Why would we keep twisting and twisting this market? And where does the strange confidence come from that we just have to tweak it like this and then it'll all work? We have examples of well functioning healthcare systems. They're universal.
Non spring, memory foam mattresses compress surprisingly well. Bigger than a pillow. Still weighs the same regardless of dimensions though.

Anecdotally, I had a fantastic experience ordering one through Argos (UK brick and mortar catalogue store that is finally getting its act together online), same day delivery on a Sunday, fit the bill of "I need a cheap mattress tonight".

If I didn't need it same day, then there is no way I'd buy something as subjective as a mattress online..
> Can a company exist in both the "normal" exchange and the "long term" exchange at the same time?

The fact that a company is listed on multiple exchanges doesn't mean it has different sorts of stock for each exchange. This real subject of this article is tenure voting, which is an aspect of the stock (not the exchange). The reason exchanges are mentioned is that exchanges have rules about the sorts of stock they will list. But to have tenure voting, you only need one exchange to allow out (like the proposed long-term exchange). And most stocks aren't cross-listed to multiple exchanges anyways.

> How long until there is a secondary market for buying and selling voting rights?

Yes, this strikes me as the obvious problem. The equilibrium is for third party to buy and hold all the tenure-voting stock and then sell stakes in the dividends of the company plus allowing voting by proxy. Basically, the third party becomes an exchange, and all stock effectively has maximal tenure.

This problem is so obvious that it must have been addressed by the people proposing this.
Not a biologist.

Most genes code for proteins, so in a programming sense, the genome would be a directory and the genes files. Obviously, the raw order and position of files on disk doesn't matter if you just want to run them.

But it seems that there is also information in the genome which is position dependent, which is more of what you alluded, that moving stuff around would break things.
Nonsense, it was great from the beginning.
I have written quite a bit of SQL including all of the items you mentioned including common table expressions, subqueries, views, etc..

This is a very limited form of composition. It's very difficult to break a query down into a bunch of subcomponents that can be reused among groups of queries. CTEs are close, but it's really hard to achieve re-usability of a CTE unless you are stitching together strings at runtime.

Probably the closest you could get is a view, but even then if you have many views stitched together to form a query this can impact performance in ugly ways.

Generally in order to achieve the best performance and to get the most of out of the DB engine it seems like producing unique SQL for each query which is optimized for that query is generally the optimal approach.

In summary: Just because SQL is based on a few composable operations (map, filter), does not mean it is composable itself.
Jesus. I've always been a bit paranoid about this; at the moment I'm sticking to my vet's dogcare program, which seems more reliable.

This would be a nontrivial concern for me with Wag. Uber rides have plenty at risk also, but at least I'm present for those. (And in one case, I have in fact gotten out early for safety's sake.) Coordination services are that much less convincing when the buyer and seller aren't both present.
I imagine the original labels would have been in English. The assembly source code I've seen for Japanese games has variables and labels in English with Japanese comments in Shift-JIS. I would guess the choice was forced because the assembler, linker, debugger or other tools did not support Shift-JIS properly. Often labels are restricted to 6 bytes which would be 3 Japanese characters. Perhaps such a limit was also a factor.

I don't think I'd be interested in an agent for finding full time work. If I had an agent for freelance work, I'd be a very happy person. For me, enjoyment of this field comes from meeting new people and solving new problems in creative ways.

Diverse doesn't even really mean diverse. It's just an excuse to make people feel like they are inclusive, at least - that's the impression I have from those I speak to in SF.

So yes, that's a mostly SF thing from my experince.

It's also interesting that I'm usually considered not diverse (white guy in tech). However, what's interesting is that when we conduct surveys at work, in conferences, school, etc. I usually stick out like a sore thumb. Because I'm from a poor income bracket, in the midwest. Where most "diverse" people get scholarships for school, because I'm white I received next to none (besides for my research / grades). So what people mean isn't really "diverse" they mean, woman and / or other skin color (not even other culture).

Diversity should include states IMO since the U.S. is easily diverse, perhaps not as much as Europe, but enough to be unique. How many people on your office have people from the Midwest or the south? It's actually rarer than I anticipated looking at the figures.
