Quantifying wealth is especially difficult when you confuse it with income.
I remember being told my generation were going to have it rough. One old man in particular seemed to single out my profession (mathematics) as some sort of ultimate cure all that should feel the burden of solving all of societies problems. Pretty heavy to lay that on anyone.

And yet I don’t know what I would actually suggest people consider. Health care does have good, local growth prospects at least. But that’s very much not for everyone, myself included. It just seems like more than ever that outside of very few localities work and the “American dream” are way off from the realm of possibilities.
Ironically, between the poor weather, the hills everywhere, the high traffic and the poor road surfaces, bike lanes are the last thing that Seattle should be worried about.

At a given intersection downtown per cycle, you will see dozens of cars and people, and MAYBE one bike. Almost all of Seattle's bike infrastructure is very underutilized. But Seattle cyclists are loud when it comes to local politics, because most seattleites think of themselves as temporarily inconvenienced cyclists.

Awesome write up, I'm amazed it performed so well. Most people's first few brushes with adwords end very poorly. At work my only job is to manage display campaigns.. I'm wondering if I could do something like this in my free time.

FYI - if this test was ran for much longer or at a larger scale his adwords account probably would've been locked. Google has strict affiliate rules and you aren't supposed to have two accounts sending traffic to the same domain.

"I can either take the company shuttle, which takes 40 min and if I miss it, I have to wait another hour. Or, drive my car which takes 20 min and I can arrive/leave whenever I please."

For people who can make full use of their time on the shuttle, driving is a 20-minute loss of productivity each way.

I'd like to think of it this way: Even if success is random, probability of success rises with number of attempts. This is actually sort of referenced in the article as "risk tolerance".
Which then gets people on the bus, easing the congestion. This is a well documented effect, where the opposite happens, adding more lanes increases traffic.

The development demand is not a guarantee, and it can also come at the cost of destroying local businesses which cannot afford the downturn in customers during construction- many of which are small, minority owned sole proprietorships.

As for demand never changing... well, everything changes.

Source: Personal anecdata from living in an area where local government has been pushing more and more light rail development hard, in spite of never actually delivering any of the promised benefits to traffic congestion, ridership levels, community or business development.
Healthcare and tech are basically the two "jobs of the future". "Local growth" pfffft. More people need more healthcare. There are few surer things.
Sure but medicine is a profession and doctors usually don't suffer when they lose a patient to a "competitor", so they shouldn't typically feel pressured to give a patient whatever drug they want.
What does income have to do with what you "deserve"? And why would they have to justify it to anyone besides whoever's going to employ them?

As my math advisor said, even subjects like math are best conveyed person to person. There are subconscious and nonverbal communication factors that can’t be reproduced in a video or book.
But a game like Pac-Man is intuitively understood by the average human because it’s fundamentally a “human” game - designed by humans, gives humans dopamine and other chemical hits in a way that we might even perceive as “fun”. Imagine a game that requires lots of computation and no human-friendly interface - a machine would obviously “learn” the rules a lot faster.

The more evidence we uncover, especially the research around Alpha Go Zero (self play with a specific objective in lieu of millions of years to develop keen general intuition) the more it feels like “human-like” intelligence is not some incredible holy grail of general intelligence but an emergent property of any reasonably directed algorithm.

Another random thought, but cro magnon man comes to mind as a human-like intelligence that proved simply not as cunning or vicious as human intellect and was outcompeted and stamped out. Imagine if we were to discover the AI equivalent of cro magnon intelligence - would we be quick to dismiss it as subpar and “not general enough” even though it emerged through the same algorithm (natural selection)?
99% of all UEFI implementations are derived from EDK2/UDK. "official" firmware from companies like Aptio build on top of this code.

Truth is, motherboard vendors don't have the skill set to deliver firmware. You are doing what amounts to new driver development, integration testing for drivers you get from silicon vendors (who are not really software guys either), and chasing weird bugs. When you toss in third-party drivers (eg for BMC), SMM/TZ, safe boot and update...you really need to have someone to own the entire firmware lifecycle. And this is regardless of the kind of firmware - uboot, uefi, coreboot or bios, it doesn't matter.

Of course I make it sound like companies like Award and AMI ship great solutions. No one does, but OEM and silicon vendor-shipped firmware is much, much worse in quality.

Oh, and UEFI and the reference inplementation Tiano Core (edk2) are exactly Intel's own firmware, no more no less. It now has more of a life of its own ever since it became UEFI (from EFI), and even supports ARM platforms, but a) majority of development is still intel b) edk2 would like to be platform agnostic, but the design of some components (of edk2, not uefi spec) like PCI support is very PC-centric and this will be painful until someone rewrites these and contributes back to Tiano.
As others said, it is very difficult, a few devs earn that in EU.

Options are :

- CTO but not early stage

- freelancing : 7 years of experience could be more than 500€ per day. And if you are in a niche, could be much more

- Remote for an american company

- I know some startups in Paris which hire at more than 100k euro but you need to be outstanding.
Sorry mate, but if you'd like some good advice from this crowd, you should spend more than 20 seconds to describe your issue and the type of suggestions you are looking for. That's probably lesson #1 in how to get to a 100k salary :)

You don't mention: where you are located; what current job you have; what's DS; what kind of dev work have you done.

Also, any github / stack overflow link, so that we can get a better sense of your skills?
Yep, but you need a very specialized skill set that SV can't find locally.
Surprisingly, you wouldn’t. I basically have been on your “butter diet” for over a year. I get about 80% of my calories from fat, much of it saturated. The rest is protein. I’ve lost about 50 pounds, normalized my blood pressure & cholesterol, and feel amazing.

Sure but I could be reading even further ahead if I didn't have to carefully trace the horizontal line from a tied note (to see if it stays on the same level or if it jumps to another note). On the other hand if it were, say, a thicker line, or a broken line, or a line of different colour, or a something-else-to-distinguish-it-from-a-phrase-mark, then I could be utilising that time more fruitfully.
Yes you're technically correct (the best kind of correct). But I'd argue that if you're developing a Redux app without Redux Dev Tools you're doing it wrong, and Redux Dev Tools does indeed store the original sequence of events and give you Martin Fowler's three killer features: Complete Rebuild, Temporal Query, and Event Replay.

In the UK, contractors are considered high-risk for mortgages and car loans. Even if you manage to lock-in a mortgage before starting your contractor career, it will make things difficult should you wish to remortgage (which is almost mandatory every 3 to 5 years, these days...).
You are confusing luck with expectation. Luck is the deviation from expectation. I've seen terrible poker players win a big tournament, or crush cash games for months on end, and quit their jobs because they mistakenly believe they are skilled at poker. Their positive deviation above their actual expectation (their "luck") soon evaporates, and they moan constantly because their results begin to actually match their expectation, or even worse, they get "unlucky" and their losses are greater even worse than their expectation.

There were two major standout points to me in the article. The first was that the main engines (SSMEs) were replaced so that the originals could be used for the next generation system.

The other thing that's piqued my curiosity is that once drained of fluids, the shuttles could never be powered on again. Not just "can't be certified for flight" or even "engines can't be safely fired", but a complete inability to even power on.
sounds like the latest predatory scam in for-profit 'education':

step 1: name your for-profit entity such that it sounds like an actual university, even though it isn't.

step 2: talk about how much you want to help out poor students so they're not in debt.

step 3: student ends up paying quite possibly the same amount of money equivalent to the debt they might accrue from a 4-year degree

step 4: student finds themself SOL in the long run since they do not possess a college degree

finally, here's a gem right from the company's home page: "Refer a student that joins and you'll both receive $250." oh dear.

I thought the beginning of the interview showed promise, but toward the end the conversation unmoors from the topic at hand.

I really do wonder how many in the field of AI take as philosophically unsophisticated of an idea like intelligent computers seriously and see it as an obvious and uncontroversial possibility. What Hofstadter is dancing around is that intelligence requires semantics and semantics is exactly what computers, by definition, lack. Knowledge is semantic in nature and thus computers cannot, strictly speaking, know anything. They cannot reason because, again, reason requires semantics. Now, we are able to model and then formalize some domains of reality under some aspect well enough such that computers can behave in very useful ways, but no matter how sophisticated such programming gets, it cannot somehow magically cross over into semantics. The notion is patently absurd. So to say that AI is, literally, far from being intelligent is like saying the color red is far from being a strawberry. No amount of red will ever amount to a strawberry.

P.S. I was reminded of this post about Sphex wasps and intelligence, with mention of Dennett and Hofstadter: http://edwardfeser.blogspot.com/2013/12/da-ya-think-im-sphex...

Not really. Had the "road diet" actually resulted in a shift from cars to transit, the transit agencies would show a corresponding increase in their census and farebox return. They didn't.
I know Python far better than Ruby, but it looks like the semantics are equivalent, it's just that Ruby's standard `open` implementation includes the cleanup rather than leaving it up to the caller as in Python.
I've had a couple of surgeries. Honestly, ibuprofen worked better because it dealt more directly with the inflammation. The oxy was more fun in the sense that I didn't care about the pain as much, but after the prescription ran out, I won't lie - I wanted more. The story ends there, fortunately. Seeing what's going on now, I won't even fill another prescription for it if I'm ever given one.

I really wish they'd take a harder look at referring patients to cannabis. I'm not one of those people that thinks its entirely without side effects or that it's a cure for everything, but it seems like it'd be a lower risk alternative for at least some kinds of pain.
Also, if anyone from resistbot sees this, I'd like to request more "guidance." I found that a few of my friends tried to use it, but when it asked them what they wanted to say, they didn't know -- because in their words, "I didn't know what important votes were coming up that I could potentially sway, so I didn't know what was worth talking about."

Considering most of HNs audience is software engineers in the Bay Area where the average salary is well north of 100k, you're making a mountain out of a molehill by raising this question.
That's true, but the question is whether you can train ML on a massive reservoir of knowledge, with the result being a similar understanding of the world that humans possess.

There is a long term attempt to give machines a common sense understanding of the world by specifying several million rules. That's the Cyc project.
In many ways UEFI on x86 resulted in a loss of firmware talent across the board since all OEMs were basically doing is selling Intel reference platforms, with Intel's UEFI drivers for everything on top of a "proprietary" firmware that amounts to Intel's reference (edk2) and maybe some buggy useless customization on top (mouse-driven configuration interfaces and other nonsense).
Because a bus lane is actually a really cheap train. Construction costs are minimal, your "stations" are generally unmanned, and cheap, and if you need to reroute for construction it generally is much less a big deal. There is basically no point at which subway tracks are cheaper than BRT.

The big issue with the Cheap Trains of busses is the lack of commitment that is otherwise nice for transit authorities is not an advantage for real estate. BRT just doesn't indicate commitment to the route enough to really boost property. This is why even though tram lines are basically just busses that can't get out of the way they have a much more marked effect on real estate and neighborhood development.
Both Muni and BART are also getting more crowded due to the new California law[0] that exempts juveniles from fare evasion enforcement; they can effectively ride anywhere for free, now.

In terms of that sense of objective, I agree.
I have no problem with someone writing their own state management framework after forgetting or before learning the hard lessons that drove the design of Redux, particularly if it's easier to use for people just getting in to web development.

The problem I have is with an author tying their library to Redux, giving those same newer people the impression that it's a simpler, but just as powerful version of the same thing. If they had been upfront about the tradeoffs made here, I would be happy.
Busses have higher operating costs per trip/mike/other measures, because there are way more drivers per rider vs rail. They’re obviously less expensive capital cost.
Transportation is a big and growing problem and this exceptionally interesting HN discussion is a testimony to that. But, no mention of a potential to reduce the problem by increasing the number of people working remotely from home and eliminating part of the transportation demand. Any thoughts on this?
That's the scam.

They get you hooked thinking they are only taking 5% or whatever it was... and from pretty much everybody who bets there, they do only take 5%.

But all of the "smart money" gets taxed at 60% when they inevitably take all of the losers money who only paid 5%.

So in essence, they are doing exactly as you suggested... "they're just taking a cut of the action." But it's a 65% cut!
Well it does have minerals, salts, and amino acids!

There is definitely some tax evasion in there somewhere, plus insurance practices and all the free money seems pretty messed up but maybe not a crime. Also lots of lobbying state governments for favorable regulations.

My top 3.

1. Show up to office hours. Even if you sit there and do nothing, TA's notice -- and TAs will absolutely spill the beans on what to prep for for exams, even unintentionally.

3. If you're attending an expensive private university, networking is effectively what you're buying. Exploit ruthlessly.

> I would conjecture that these things are easy for us, not because we are amazing learning machines, but because we have millions of years of evolution, and years as infants with caring teachers going for us.

But if the argument is that AlphaGo is the right approach to creating an AGI, then we should at some point expect it to learn how to recognize the goal of various tasks without a huge amount of training.

Maybe evolution provided us with something additional that is lacking in current generation of DL. And there are AI researchers who think that you need ontologies for the machines to understand the world, and that it's not reasonable to expect a machine to be able to learn everything from scratch, because the world is too complex for that.

It's not reasonable to expect AlphaGo to replay evolution in order to gain the ability to do abstract reasoning.

This quote really irritates me; if we don't allow people to be judged by the good they do, more people die, because fewer people give. It's as simple as that. People shouldn't just feel free to talk about how they are contributing to saving lives, they should be encouraged. Introducing a social stigma that one isn't allowed to be publically happy or proud of doing good is cruel and counterproductive.

I have personal cynical hypotheses about why the state of affairs is as it is. None of it has to do with the qualities of those who donate.

I wrote "if that's an issue". For most cases it's not an issue.

The primary use case ExitStack is not to reduce indentation levels; it's to support "a variable number of context managers and other cleanup operations in a single with statement".

You wrote "The easiest way to handle opens and closes is thus exception-safe".

Consider if you need to merge up to 50 files containing sorted lines, where the result must also be sorted, and where you should not load all of the data into memory first. (Sorted according to UTF-8.) How would you do it? Not so easy, is it?

With ExitStack you could write it as something like the following sketch:

filenames = [ list, of, file, names]
with ExitStack() as stack:
files = [stack.enter_context(open(fname, "rb")) for fname in filenames]
with open("merged_lines.txt", "wb") as output:
output.writelines(heapq.merge(*files))

As you say, the great thing about this with clause is that it Just Works.

A side-effect of making ExitStack work is that it might help if the indentation depth is a problem, which mappu apparently has experienced.

As another example of where Python registers a cleanup rather than use a context manager, see https://docs.python.org/3/library/unittest.html#unittest.Tes... .
