They're call isomorphic functions.

Recently, I've been thinking a lot about them and also have been looking for a language/framework that supports them. What would be very interesting is a way to inverse non-isomorphic functions and get a constrained set of possible values (i.e., the reverse of age(birth, now) would return a range of date for either birth or now). Often, the complete value is not necessary and you're only interested in some subset of it (i.e., that a person's age is greater than 18).

> What the SEC was after when they denied the winklevoss ETF was a way to confirming that they could audit all bitcoin transactions on the applicable exchanges, and following from that, the identities of all the exchange participants.

I don't think that's accurate, unless you're using a strange sense of the word "audit". The SEC's criticism seemed mainly to focus on the fact that the exchanges lacked controls to prevent price manipulation, and lacked oversight by regulators (not just the SEC) to ensure those controls were in place and effective.

The constituent exchanges are listed here [1], basically the list you posted without Bitfinex or OKCoin.com.

> Interesting that these are cash settled vs being settled in bitcoin. I guess that speaks as to who they expect to use these instruments.

This seems an odd decision to me as well, especially since Bitcoin is almost a textbook commodity. I guess they are afraid that there could be a short squeeze if the existing exchange can't handle a greatly increased volume, but trusting that the exchanges can provide sufficient liquidity is a requirement to use their pricing data as well, otherwise you can get manipulation on the other end.

Excellent question! What's this surgeon's track record? How many patients have died on her operating table? How up to date with current medical research is she? Is she daring and reckless, or does she play it conservatively safe?

> They've had your data for years (and were previously not only irresponsible but likely shared it with countless other partners), what has changed now?

This seems like it cuts both ways.

To be sure, Yahoo's data handling was reprehensible before the acquisition also. But if this reminds some people to pay attention to that, it's all to the good - I don't actually expect things to get better. Deleting or restricting your Yahoo presence was probably the right decision 1 or 3 or 5 years ago, but that doesn't mean it's wrong now.

More broadly, there's normally an argument for distrusting ISPs and mobile carriers even more than internet companies; they can correlate with physical presence, have a history of shockingly immoral behavior, and have repeatedly colluded with state surveillance far beyond what they were compelled to do.

I'm not sure how relevant any of that is in Yahoo's case, though, since they've basically alternated between handing user data to the government and handing it to literally everyone in the world. You're certainly right that anyone who only lost faith in their data security now has been in trouble for a long, long time.
In my experience that’s simply not true.

We’ve seen more issues with Yarn in CI & prod than with npm 5.x

That is too indirect a problem. Neural networks will find answers to problems where there is a relatively direct hierarchical connection between input and output. Symbolic information would require different and very big architectures. Also doing that is still state-of-the-art and you don't try to solve 2 state-of-the-art problems at the same time.

Firstly, using the better rendering approach has been tried and failed. These networks exploit things that perfect rendering has but reality doesn't. For instance, in a rendered simulated environment it is perfectly reasonable to estimate exactly where an edge is and then follow that edge with zero margin with the robot. In reality you need a minimum margin if you expect it to work (or your object will be damaged), and a decent one.

Photorealistic rendering tries to emulate optics that are incredibly good, with no distortion, and the robots have cheap webcams with plastic lenses, with both consistent distortion near the edges and random distortions everywhere because they're webcams. Not supercheap ones, but this isn't a RED camera either. You could fix those lenses, but why would you ? It would be more valuable if it works with cheap lenses, and human and animal eyes don't really try to be distortion free. Rather they have the "software" behind it compensate.

Second, photorealistic rendering requires modeling accuracy, and material modeling on a scale we just can't do for real datasets. These datasets have millions of objects, and to make the robot more tolerant of the general weirdness of the real world, they are randomly perturbed, to turn millions of examples to billions. But those perturbed objects are not photorealistic anymore. Nobody has a toothbrush with a triangle in the bottom sticking out to one side.

Besides, keep in mind that the resolutions used here are quite small. It's not like they're trying to run a renderer at 4k resolution. Think 128x128, or 256x256. Not exactly a big issue.

Which makes me think, as developers we get this entire hiring thing wrong. Next time I want a job, I will think hard about a way to hustle it without entering the application process.

There is a lot of study and memorization involved in playing at the top level (or even the amateur level). Once they lose the will and/or ability to keep up with others, then they'll start declining.

The D-Wave machine is not a full adiabatic quantum computer, though (which would be polynomially equivalent to a universal quantum computer). It does quantum annealing over a pretty restricted set of Hamiltonians.

I think it is perfectly reasonable to say it is not a quantum computer, in the same way that not everything performing computation is called a computer. Otherwise---taken to the absurd---why not call a chemist's beaker a quantum computer?

In the usa, there are many roads without explicit bike lanes. Bicyclists on these lanes are like cars that drive very slowly and you have to overtake, in busy traffic. This is fairly rage inducing for most drivers.

A lot of times on top of that, a single road will have dedicated bike dispersed through it. So one segment will have a bike lane, then cross an intersection and it doesn't have a bike lane anymore. A few more intersections later it starts having bike lanes again.

We just have really low latency requirements which matter to the customers we serve. And several TBs of clickstream data on which we perform real-time analytics. This is why we rewrote the main request server entirely in Go while we kept the frontend API in Ruby.

It's quite possible that if you have large pile of money you can still get it (https://www.itasoftware.com/ has list of existing customers, and Sales button at bottom - I have no reason to think that customer list isn't still valid.)
And at a very minimum Google is using this for Google Flights, that's what they bought ITA for.

There's other companies that will sell you the data, if you have a large pile of money (Sabre, Amadeus, etc.).

So it's problematic insofar as they're making it much harder for random small companies and hobbyists to get it. On the other hand, pre-acquisition this public API didn't exist. So it's not clear Google's acquisition of ITA made things worse in any way.

(Disclaimer: used to work for ITA. Have no inside knowledge of how things work now.)

Perhaps this is selection bias?

Their resume being bad caused them to not be able to get a job at other companies, even though they are good. The only reason the resume ended up on your desk was because nobody else wanted to spend 30 minutes of their time interviewing them, therefore they were passed up.

Apple loves to make their devices as thin and light as possible. That's why they maintain that status quo: they make their batteries only as big as they need to be to last a day. If this technology improved capacity by 50%, that means Apple could shrink their batteries by a third while still hitting that target, which they'd jump on.

(Personally I really wish they'd have a model with a much larger battery, because "lasts one day" really means "usually lasts one day but it depends on how you use it so you can't really count on it." But they won't.)
Yes, most frameworks will implement it. I'm quite sure.

If that was their reasoning, they could do it whenever they were ready and willing after five years. So this explains why they had to do it for five years and might explain why they won't be doing it much longer than that. It might also indicate that cutting off the API was intended but not urgent.
Well, at least this one serves as an aggregator of previous ones, and even presents some solutions rather than just criticisms.
I think that comment makes the mistake twice over, even. First, because T&C are (usually) not an immutable contract - companies can just change them without any legal shenanigans at all. Then second because, as you say, actions taken just to circumvent laws are usually themselves illegal.

It is pretty baffling to see how often programmers talk about law like it's an algorithm. Even the DAO didn't work out that way, and that was explicitly intended to turn contracts and law into algorithms. If that didn't resist social pressure to redress harms, why would we expect actual humans to do so?

(And frankly, thank god the law doesn't work like that. I don't want to live in a world where legal loopholes open up as often as software vulnerabilities.)
The Arrow project itself is a set of libraries. One of the things we'll do is try to add more algorithms over time to it so if you want say, a fast arrow sort or arrow predicate application. Full SQL is always far more complex and I can't see the project itself .

The engine inside of Dremio is something we call Sabot (a shoe for modern arrows, see sabot round on wikipedia). We hope to make it modular enough one day to use a library but it isn't there yet.

In regards to your other question re projects/products: Arrow contributors are actively trying to get more adoption of Arrow as an interchange format for several systems. We've had discussions around Kudu (no serious work done yet afaik). Parquet-to-Arrow for multiple languages is now available. Arrow committers include committers from several other projects such as HBase, Cassandra, Phoenix, etc. The goal is ultimately to figure integrations with all.

In most cases, these data storage systems are saddled with slow interfaces for data access. (Think row-by-row, cell-by-cell interfaces.) Arrow, among other things, allows them to communicate through a much faster mechanism (shared memory--or at least shared representation if not node local).
I'm not sure privileged is the right word. I mean, they have to work hard at learning the skills and keeping skills up to date. It's not just given to them. Perhaps fortunate to pick a good, growing career maybe.

Pepie: The Monster of Lake Pepin (MN)
One quick note to make on this. Kudu is a storage implementation, (similar to Parquet in some ways). Arrow isn't about persistence and is actually built to be complementary to both Kudu and Parquet.

Also note: Kudu is a distributed process. Arrow and Parquet are libraries that can be embedded into your existing applications.

And yet, there are still a lot of companies using and relying on Google APIs and cloud services. I don't understand why there is still so much trust in them after they've shown multiple times they will terminate services with little warning. And no, I don't consider 1 year a long enough warning for something that has no clear drop-in substitute.

If you're using a Google service, you must be prepared for when they'll pull it from under your feet. And if you need to prepare for that, why use that service to begin with if an alternative exists?
