No, I don't think tech companies should enforce ideological conformity, but they shouldn't enforce ideological equality either. A lot of people, especially on HN, seem to have this idea that if a rule or policy can't be exactly defined, it shouldn't be used. It's not possible to codify "no assholes allowed", so we should just abandon that idea.

Look, the reason we don't have a law against Nazi ideas in America is that it's too dangerous to give the government that power. If we did have such a law, and it were abused, there's no higher power to appeal to. We have nearly absolute free speech not because all speech deserves equal consideration, but simply because there is no practical legal alternative. But it is crucial to understand that since we can't give the government that power, society is obligated to pick up the slack. Nazis cannot be punished legally, so they must be punished socially. We all wish we lived in a world where any idea could be freely discussed, and "bad" ones would be naturally dismissed, but we don't. The world doesn't naturally improve, people force it to, and not just by hosting neutral discussion spaces.

What I'm describing is basically majority rule, and I understand how dangerous it is. Frankly, over the course of history, it's usually gone poorly. But there is no alternative. If you decide to be neutral, you're just giving more power to those who aren't. If you don't like racism, so you decide to live your life "colorblind", you're helping racists, as they obviously won't join you. As a member of society, you have an obligation to not only avoid helping racists, but actively work against them by loudly arguing with them, depriving them of opportunities to promote or implement their ideas, and maybe kicking them out of a party if they try to start some shit.

Twitter can't be neutral, because everybody else isn't. In fact it's not really possible to be neutral, they can either endorse the status quo, or work against it. If they abuse their incredibly powerful position, there is a higher power we can appeal to who is required to be neutral in such cases.

God this woman sounds insufferable, and why would you take advice about anything from someone who has never left college?
I didn't go to college in the US so I'm a bit surprised:

A's come with perks - seriously? Maybe when you're 6 that is a thing, when you're 20 I thought you'd grown out of that.

Asking questions in class - I hate these people, 50-200 people have to listen while some prima donna wants all the attention.

After one of my intro sessions, a freshman from Idaho blurted out: “Awesome class! It’s like you stuck my fingers in a light socket.” I laughed and invited her to speed walk with me around the local park - I guess arse lickers are everywhere.
Not sure about a salary, but contracting can comfortably let you earn that based on a daily rate. I've even seen Qlikview or Excel roles at banks in the UK that pay 600+ per day! The trick is to have a niche - look at what's hot in contracting job ads and read up about it. Get confident with the tech/software they ask for and go for a few interviews. Getting a contracting role is generally a lot easier than a permanent position, and in my experience, a contracting job can be just as secure as a perm job.
> We already know that doctors are unable to preform reproducible science

We've done pretty well so far with doctors doing good research. This is the basis of all modern medicine. Sure, there are going to be issues in some cases. There are going to bring failed experiments.

But we're winning massively since science really got into medicine. Your assumption is not really valid.

Switzerland is not in the EU as OP asked, also you spend a large chunk of the gains over Germany on higher living cost (rent, but also basic stuff like cheeseburgers is up to 3x the price of Germany). Oh and they have both a strict immigration regime as well as a huge right-wing problem, which might be another factor against moving to Switzerland for work.
> So FWIW @ericabiz is correct "It really is the carbs and sugar that do you in".

Its not. The people who are obese mostly [1] consume too much, and often carbs are the culprit. If they reduce their calorie intake, they lose weight. It doesn't matter if they use a keto pseusoscience with that, go to a dietist to follow a raw food pseudoscience diet, or diet solo without a dietist limiting caloric intake on sheer willpower (a proven method based on decades of science). Even people who don't get into a "state of ketosis" because they diet on raw food or willpower lose weight. The thing they all have in common is: limiting the caloric intake.

[1] "Mostly" as there are some diseases which are exceptions, an example could be thyroid problems. I'm not gonna comment on this, not familiar with all the English terms on the exceptions.

> Not exactly. Fructose doesn't initiate an insulin response in the body... there are other problems with fructose but the 'natural' in the sugar is important.

Cane and beets are natural sugar as well. All sugar is natural, except artificial sugar, but then we call it artificial sugar. The term sugar doesn't tell us which sugar (e.g. glucose or fructose or lactose) but neither does the term natural sugar.

Its akin to denoting to stating "[..] fruit apple [..]". An apple is always a fruit. There is no need to underline that.

“支” means pay in several Chinese phrases, corresponding to Pay in “Pay Pal”; “支”己 (zhi ji) is phonetically identical to 知己，which means good friends, thus corresponding to the word Pal in “Pay Pal”. “支”己 is a coined word and here can be considered as a good friend in payment, which is lexically similar to Pay Pal.

"Expensive trains" seem in style, for whatever reason. There are routes that run buses every 4 minutes here. There are other routes that run every 10m, with electric buses on caternary wires. I'll take a good bus line over a non-existent rail line any day. I love trains but if bus lanes and BRT infra are politically expedient, good enough for me.

You've asked how you can get 100k EUR per year. But you have not mentioned anything about the value you can offer for this money (unless DS means something there, I have no idea what DS is).

In many companies, low-level managers don't earn that much (especially green ones, which it sounds like you would be during the time frame you specified). Companies wouldn't want to distract all their employees by offering a huge pay bump just to switch fields.

When you ask for money you should first talk about what you can contribute. Which is?
> And so do chimpanzees. Evolution must have provided us with something additional, which would be our rather more developed cognitive abilities to employ abstract reasoning and metaphor.

If you have an evolutionary learning algorithm you don't expect every branch to be equally capable, it doesn't mean we didn't get here along the same path.

I basically agree that humans have some "innate" ability, but this innate ability exists as the result of an evolutionary process.

> Those abilities aren't learned, they're innate, and they allow us to think in ways that don't require large amounts of data. An average human being can be shown an Atari game like Pacman, and easily understand what the objective of the game is almost right away.

Taking the single experience with a single Atari game is sort of missing the point, which is all the time we spent learning up until that point and all the evolution that went on until that point.

It also sort of misses the point that Atari games are explicitly designed to be understandable easily by humans, they're not something that just appeared and we happened to be good at it.

In paramutuel betting the prices are not fixed, so you cannot leverage differences between the odds on offer and your estimate of the prospect's chances. The final odds you receive are equal to the total stakes placed on that prospect divided by (sum of all stakes less the operator's take). You can't formulate an optimal staking plan with unknown odds, and you're forced to compete on win rates rather than price ineffeciencies.

Sugar's role in diabetes seems likely to be true, but to say that CICO is false and a mutually exclusive explanation compared to the way in which insulin affects one's metabolism is empirically false [0].

Taubes would be hard pressed to explain how you could lose weight on a diet of Twinkies or how those subsisting on high carb, low fat, low protein diets that fail to meet their caloric needs in famine-afflicted regions remain thin.

The way insulin works and the way the body requires a caloric surplus to gain weight are not remotely mutually exclusive ideas and to suggest otherwise requires cherry-picking the literature in a way that's scientifically irresponsible.

> Books, videos, and websites are a poor substitute to having someone who knows sit down and explain stuff to you.

For subjects like math and CS, these things are great substitutes. For things like mycology or religious studies, less so. I think there is something to be said for using your time in college to focus more on the subjects that are basically unlearnable via other channels.

For things like CS though, just sitting down and spending a weekend watching Tim Roughgarden's YouTube channel will give you more than enough algorithm and data structure knowledge to get a job as a developer or whatever.
Well, arrogance is what gets you started, yes; however, if I may, it's the ability to hide it while maintaining one's own goals, and not the ability to be humble, that takes you to completion. Otherwise one gets distracted by what others want or how others feel; in a sense CEOs that can generate strong reality distortion fields, as it has been put, tend to be extremely successful in spite of market conditions. I would imagine that it's a fine line to walk.
That's not an official app (Home Assistant works well in a mobile browser, just add it to your home screen).
Problem with contracting jobs is, depending on OPs country, they can be risky: health care costs can kill you at that salary rate (eg in Germany with its dual class health care system), contractors may not be eligible for ordinary pensions (and you might be tempted to skip over saving for retirement...) and when you're sick for more than a week (or, can't find a new project soon enough) it can burn through your entire savings sooner than you'd like.

I wouldn't do contracting again without serious money (aka F-U-Money levels, or a full year worth of expenses) in the bank.

> (we will also open-source over time)

One tip is to use GPLv3, which would force the users of your code, who would put the software on their hardware, to make it possible for their users to reflash the devices. For everyone who doesn't want to allow that you could offer a commercial license.

This way of open sourcing works quite well for example for the Qt Company, they sell commercial licenses to automobile companies which don't want people to reflash their in vehicle infotainment systems for some reason, so they pay a per device commercial license. The Qt Company takes the money and pays developers to keep on working on the free software version of Qt which is GPLv3.

Kind of win win for everyone, small users who play with the sofware on their raspberry pi get the source code and big companies with their own propriatary hardware would pay licenses.

Word embeddings (or subword embeddings) are used for nearly all recent NLP algorithms, both shallow (e.g. FastText) and deep (e.g. Google Neural Translation). Unless you're using a basic bag-of-words approach, you need to translate your words into some vector format, so you probably want some kind of embeddings. In practice, all the state of the art approaches for translation, language modeling, classification (eg sentiment analysis), etc. all sit on top of embeddings.

It's not word embeddings job to handle phrases - but nearly all modern phrase embedding algorithms sit on top of word embeddings. They often create a weighted average of embeddings by using an attention model, or they can use a more complex model such as an LSTM with attention (e.g. CoVE - https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.00107 ).

Word embeddings can handle polysemy - high dimensional vectors can (and do) hold information of various types that is used in different contexts in different ways. Some approaches deal with this more directly (e.g. including part-of-speech as part of the vocab item), and that sometimes can help a bit.

Surely ruby's blocks are much better here. For one they're a much more general construct than with, and second exception handling is done with normal language constructs like rescue and ensure. Implementing one is simple and obvious and is nicely contained in a single method.

For example

File.open(args) do |file|
# use file
end

And the implementation is simply

def self.open(*args)
file = File.new(*args)
begin
yield file
ensure
file.close

So if we let the rabbits run wild until another equilibrium, as the one that occurred after the dingo introduction, then that new equilibrium is the one we are then to protect? I'd argue that there has never been any sort of natural equilibrium so long as humans, any humans, have been active in an environment. We must pick which human arrival draws the line between natural an not. I'd go with the original arrival.

That doesn't make sense. There's no required connection to getting high grades and being one dimensional.

If a person is competent, much less brilliant, and can score high in a class, what exactly is the law of the universe that says they can't work on side projects?
Good one, with that comes increased water intake due to increased thirst, therefore quicker satiation due to being full quicker.

Restaurants like salt because customers won't order water (even though tap water is free here in NL it makes one look as too much of a cheapskate); they'll order a drink like wine which they can upsell and already has large profit margins.

Nephrologists won't be happy though (although it does generate them more customers, they probably got more than enough as it is).

My suggestion would be: less salt + umami + herbs.

Herbs is a bit vague, it really depends on the dish (and there's more than herbs; look at things like garlic, ginger, and turmeric you can buy these dried as well, in same tins or glasses as herbs are).

Personally, I'm a fan of the Italian spices as well as mixes like baharat and ras el hanout even though I don't have a background in any related culture (I'm Dutch).

You can achieve umami in various ways: yeast extract, Vetsin, E621, MSG, etc. In the end its all the same, but I put the one consumers fear the least first in the list wink
