Someone has to do the research and "Big" whatever seems to be the ones with the money to do so.

Ask yourself why this is so. Could it have to do with a reduction in public investment in original research, or, alternatively, an overall reduction in investment in unencumbered research?

Point being: this work used to get done by non-corporate scientists, too.

Have not found the crawl rates changed for sites where everything is well linked together. Then again, these have been just small sites with a few million pages.
Now, having said that, I am going to define 'evil' as failure to follow the correct religion.(1) Again, in my original statement I never said anything about what they did or did not do just applied a label and suddenly by your comment total genocide is ok.

(1) Historically a commonly accepted definition of 'evil'.

PS: I am in no way supporting the horrors humanity has produced. Just commenting on how easy it is to apply labels and then by your own words kill millions of innocent people.

> It paints a vivid picture of the media consistently doing the government's* bidding by painting our mass murdering allies as heroes, while massively amplifying minor crimes committed by those we consider enemies (e.g. Communists).

Of course, in the real world the media played down the major crimes of Communists (cf. Walter Duranty, whose Pulitzer Prize has never been revoked), while massively amplifying the minor crimes of anti-Communists (e.g. South Vietnam, a nasty little republic significantly less nasty than the victorious North Vietnam).

Yes, the anti-Communists have their hundreds of thousands, but the Communists have their hundreds of millions. The death tolls aren't even comparable.

> And they do this knowingly, too, by ignoring or outright silencing dissenting voices (like Chomsky's).

There are many adjectives one can apply to Noam Chomsky, but 'silenced' is not among them.
yeah, but as far as I saw they didn't distinguish age at all. they did men, ever pregnant women, and non ever pregnant women.
How do you feel if you think you are being paid well compared to the market rate? Do you think there are cases where sharing your current/past salary can be a benefit in negotiations?
Agents of the employer, such as recruiters, are also prohibited from seeking for this information.

Welllll....take a gold star lesbian. She is technically a virgin if you measure virginity by penis-in-vagina sex. She still can become pregnant through artificial insemination. Plus the Virgin Mary!
I can't help but compare that to the family-owned dollar store around the corner from me. Same three Indonesian guys (and occasionally a woman - probably someone's wife) stocking shelves and running the register. In those situations, I assume it's a co-ownership where it's easy to motivate one-another.

Anecdotally, the prices are competitive and the store is clean (although products are haphazardly arranged), so I wonder what a chain dollar store can provide that these entrepreneurs can't.
Or maybe only very pragmatic, how would you make sure - should you want to procure never-pregnant female blood - to select the right donours?

I think recruiters would be covered under the "through an agent" part, especially as most/all are compensated by the employer.

When asked about salary I say that I consider my previous/current employer's salary information to be proprietary & confidential information and I would be violating the agreement I signed when I joined that company to keep such information private, by revealing it.

I basically present it as an ethical issue, and effectively say, "I feel I would be doing something unethical by revealing that information. You're not going to ask me to do something I consider unethical, are you?"

Of course, if they say yes, that tells me something else entirely too, and also something I'd like to know before I start working somewhere.

I like them boring: php mvc backend with an sql database like MySQL. HAProxy does TLS termination and failover/loadbalancing. Varnish does response caching/esi processing.

Responses are rendered according to accept header in the request, so the "api" is also the web application (with a different view renderer basically).

For the web view, traditional links/forms as much as possible. Those things can always be upgraded to do XHR loads as a progressive enhancement.

I'm sure none of these concepts are popular with the HN crowd.
These numbers aren't even close to accurate. The actual position of the US underclass (bottom quintile) is more like the 60-85th percentile of global income. After adjusting for CPI it's clear that poverty in the United States is very real.

https://pseudoerasmus.com/2014/09/29/world-income-distributi...

The US underclass also suffer the social and psychological effects of being the underclass, i.e. weaker social support networks and exclusion from the millieu of political priorities.
That same employer could save MUCH more time by posting a salary range in the job posting..
Ignoring your completely made up percentiles and the fact that you're a right-wing troll, poor people in the US get to call themselves poor because they face real problems where the not-poor don't. Access to healthy food, healthcare, housing, quality education, etc. are all diminished for low-income people.
Exactly. How does someone with money stay in money? Buy it cheap, stack it deep. Get stuff for super cheap and get a lot of it while it's cheap, so you don't have to buy it again when it's much more expensive, and can wait for it to be cheaper again.
Jai's a good unique name tho, and it wouldn't be a good idea for him to change that branding since he's already done years of outreach using that name.
I'll give you some news. "Police" is defined as a "body of persons empowered by the State to enforce the law".

And in this case there's no State and there is no law being enforced. People using violence to force others to conform to rules that they made up themselves are usually called thugs.
Why the odd numbers? It seems like it would be simpler to run algorithms on something with 16 or 48 qubits.
some random thoughts:

these companies benefit from _vague_ terms like "chocolate" and exploit customer's pre-conceived notion of what these terms actually mean.

Of course no scientific study is going to find that Mars/snickers bars are good for you.
The trick is to make sure the good result from cocoa bean studies gets linked to your Mars/snickers/product. So the process might look like this..

1. A compound in raw cocoa bean is found to help blood levels

2. Cocoa powder is made from cocoa beans, therefor cocoa powder is healthy

3. Chocolate with high cocoa powder content should also be healthy

4. "Chocolate" is healthy

5. Mars/snickers is chocolate right? Therefor these products are also healthy.

Posts on health blogs, marketing campaigns, etc. water down the results from (1) and draw their own conclusions, and there you go. People go out and by all kinds of chocolate products.

Similar stuff happen with things like green tea (super healthy, but your sugar drenched matcha latte is not), fruits and vegetables in general. A "productized" version of these raw foods is easier to control and cheaper than the real deal. That's the sad reality I guess.

edit: Key take... it's not that sponsored studies are necessarily misleading or "fake". It's the purpose of exploiting the key results of the study by somehow linking them with your product in a positive way!

> Dollar Tree [...] You have to hunt for the bargains that are actually worth it

Ain't that the truth.

Sure, you can get a roll of aluminum foil for $1 at Dollar Tree, while a roll is $4 at Kroger. But the Dollar Tree roll is only 25 feet long, while the Kroger roll is 200 feet. And that $1 screwdriver in the tools section is made of chinesium and will either break or have the tip get warped if you have to use it on anything tough.

That all said, Dollar Tree is THE place to go for party favors. Gift bags for $1 when they'd cost me $5-12 anywhere else? That's a steal! I mean, sure they won't have licensed Disney/Nickelodeon/etc. cartoon characters on them, but I don't think even the kids notice.
Yes. Python gets all the heat for the GIL, but most similar languages have something with more or less the same effect.
I wonder if that data is even captured in the donation process?

Aren’t donations pooled? Can’t imagine this would leave very many pools without a single ever-pregnant donor.

"The new bill goes further by prohibiting employers, “orally or in writing, personally or through an agent,” from asking about an applicant’s previous pay."

according to the language in the bill, employers don't seem to be allowed to use those types of Equifax products anymore.

"However, if the applicant “voluntarily and without prompting” provides this information, the employer may use it “in determining the salary for that applicant.”"

...as long as you don't give it out yourself.
I think he was cryopreserved, so he surely will be surprised once they wake him up in the future, assuming cryonics really works.
Well... there goes your expectation of an increased salary without negotiation.

And they did this to improve the gender wage gap? People who don't negotiate will be stuck with their same salary year over year, while those that negotiate will have steadily increasing salaries.

I think many of the questions stem from "Why not just use Google Maps and its API directly"? You can embed it, place your own pins, and style it with your own CSS. The only features on the landing page apart from that are some kind of analytics and data import.

However, the analytics piece alone could be worth $60/mo if it provides something that Google maps doesn't, especially with regards to finding out when/where searches happen for your stores (conceivably getting the user's coordinates, and you already know the context for their search because they're on your site's store map). A large amount of searches in a particular location might mean it's a good store expansion location.
Ya got me. I don't know much about blood donation. I'm just a mom who has reason to be curious about medical side effects of having had children.
FWIW ReadTheDocs is probably looking for a new host, though they're a… substantial system:

https://readthedocs.org/sustainability/

> Serve over 20 million pages of documentation a month

> Have 10 servers and serve over 2 TB of documentation a month

> Host over 18,000 projects and support 25,000 users

> Are supported by two dedicated engineers
> To be fair, this is more or less "boiler-plate text" added at the end of every research paper

There is usually something discussing future research needs, but it's not always oriented toward “replicate and determine significance”.

Though something very much like the note on my this paper is common, for good reason, on papers reporting a novel, borderline significant association with no clear mechanism.

I've always been upfront and honest about my current salary and expectations. It keeps me from getting lowballed on an offer, and reduces time wasted in talking to employers that can't meet my expected salary. The starting point is what I'm being paid now, plus a bit. Then we can negotiate additional salary, benefits and perks. My salary growth trajectory has been good over my career as a result.
> "All research should be taken with a grain of salt"

It's hard for any one person to read tens or hundreds of papers on a subject and critically examine them for fallacies, look for fake data, etc. It's just not plausible.

At this rate, if us commonfolk are just expected to take a default position of not believing a scientific study or consensus until we personally vet them, what are we to actually believe? Do I need to go out and personally vet that evolution is real by personally reproducing some fruit fly studies?

We're heading down a scary road if we cannot trust our scientific institutions to be unbiased.
I've recently been through a number of these damn things and have found SmartRecruiters[0] to be pretty solid. Clean UI and easy application flow. The companies using it have been good about actually responding to applications as well, which is always nice.

They do - I'm not sure how they licence it though or what data sources they use but I've seen that their data on high income households is the best in the business and shockingly accurate.

However, I can't imagine the compliance nightmare that would exist around a process that lets HR people look up people's equifax information. If they get a full report, it could contain information about disabilities, national origin, ethnicity, religion, and enough information to construct knowledge about sexual orientation.

However, all that information is pretty worthless for most decisions. Aside from it being illegal to use that information for hiring decisions (in most situations), the equifax stuff isn't super accurate. I've looked myself up and it gets a lot of information wrong, most other people I know who have looked themselves up in have also found major inaccuracies.
The New York Times actually covered up the holodomor, and were incredibly supportive of Stalin
in the 1930's [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Walter_Duranty]

Further, The NYT had favorably reviewed books that denied the Khmer Rouge, and as late as 1990 published editorials denying that governments human rights abuses as being statistically insignificant[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cambodian_genocide_denial].

I think that this has less to do with manufacturing consent and instead realizing that the New York times isn't a bastion of truth but rather a flawed human organization that often makes terrible mistakes.
IMO, the best ting to get at Dollar Tree are gift bags. $1 for something that's usually $5-12 anywhere else!

I don't think the remain campaign was particularly effective (though the leave campaign also seemed pretty disorganized and amateurish at times), and I think Cameron was a little overconfident, but it's ridiculous to suggest that the remain side didn't really care about the result. It was obvious that Cameron's political career depended on getting a remain victory, so of course he worked hard for it.

The referendum was purely advisory, so it's up to the government to decide how they want to interpret the result. There is no "custom and practice" of requiring 2/3 or 75% supermajorities in the UK, and judicial review is pretty limited here anyway. The goal of the referendum was to deliver a blow to Ukip and the eurosceptic wing of the Conservative party - anything that made the referendum seem biased against them would have just made them more angry and self-righteous.
> Dear videographers, when you pick a "photorealistic" opening scene

I kind of think that it was supposed to be an "uncanny valley" opening scene. The rest of the video is quite good; it's hard to imagine that they'd flub the opening so badly, unless it was on purpose.
No, there isn't, unless you're okay with short-selling yourself.

If you share and your amount is > the employers, you have no job. Bad situation. If you share and your amount is < the employers, you'll be underpaid. Bad situation.
If you share and your amount = the employers, you may have a job, but you'll never know if you left money on the table because you offered first. Bad situation.

If you offer the number first, the employer becomes the customer - and the customer is always right. If you wait for them to make you an offer, they have to make an offer that is compelling, in the same way sales people go above-and-beyond to close their deal.

Literally the only way sharing your salary first is advantageous is if you need a job immediately. If you can wait, it's best to hold onto your number. If they cared so much about "saving time" they would have put the salary range in the posting - the reason they don't is because it's disadvantageous to do so!
Why do you need to restructure the xml? You can just keep the attributes. To add the salaries there are quite a few options, as XML is just as flexible as well.

<employee name="Aeryn Sun" gender="female" />
</employees>

And using mixed content (complexType):

<employee name="John Crichton" gender="male">
<salary>10000</salary>
<salary>10000</salary>
<salary>10000</salary>

Firstly, the human brain is not vastly superior. There are already tasks such that a reasonably competent developer can build and train a deep learning model that beats human perception on commodity hardware with open source software.

Secondly, the number of jobs requiring thinking in an ill-defined framework these days is shrinking rapidly.

This is not specifically caused by machine learning, but rather by the desire for predictable timelines / cost savings / metrics gathering. But it has set the stage for AI automation.

Take law and health care, for example:

* Law firms are consolidating, and lawyers can now spend their entire career working on one small, specialized aspect of a field.

* Primary care physicians barely are allotted just enough time to refer you to a specialist. The specialist has just enough time to order tests.

Thanks for that link, well worth the read.

This is an interesting question to ask in these "how far away is AGI" discussions:

I was once at a conference where there was a panel full of famous AI luminaries, and most of the luminaries were nodding and agreeing with each other that of course AGI was very far off, except for two famous AI luminaries who stayed quiet and let others take the microphone.

I got up in Q&A and said, “Okay, you’ve all told us that progress won’t be all that fast. But let’s be more concrete and specific. I’d like to know what’s the least impressive accomplishment that you are very confident cannot be done in the next two years.”

There was a silence.

Eventually, two people on the panel ventured replies, spoken in a rather more tentative tone than they’d been using to pronounce that AGI was decades out. They named “A robot puts away the dishes from a dishwasher without breaking them”, and Winograd schemas. Specifically, “I feel quite confident that the Winograd schemas—where we recently had a result that was in the 50, 60% range—in the next two years, we will not get 80, 90% on that regardless of the techniques people use.”
