High quality links that cast credible doubt on the cause of rising co2 ppm and its long term effects? I'll bet money you have none.

Items that have been debunked many times are obviously not high quality or credible.

P.S. I wouldn't normally be so harsh... It's just a bit crazy how many times these claims keep coming up, when the evidence and the science is so crystal clear.

> And why spend your money tomorrow when you'll get more stuff the day after tomorrow?

Right, we'll die of starvation because our money will be worth more in the future. Instead of paying rent we'll all sleep in cardboard boxes. Then the economy will grind to a halt and global warming will cease to be a threat. Thus resulting in the onset of another ice age. The reason you don't want another ice age is, it'll destabilize the snow-shoe equities market. It's all pretty self-explanatory. (This is how I imagine your typical economist reasons).
Ask HN: Apple devs, has an 'app review board' appeal ever worked for you?
Apples review team are singling out our app for objectionable content in users profiles despite that content being from one of the most popular social media apps in the world.

This content on users profiles we clearly label as a social media feed from Instagram and is not something we have control over, we're told its still our responsibility to remove it from our app. I can easily point to at least 10 other apps that break the rules far more severely than ours, and yet we are getting our binaries rejected constantly.

What I find most annoying about being bullied by Apples review team is we are being quite clearly picked on because we're not a Facebook or Instagram and have no position of strength to negotiate.

Has anyone here had any luck with the Apple review board? Every time we've submitted an appeal with a bullet point list of logical points we're simply told "Sorry, but no." with no reason given. Would be great to hear some positive stories or suggestions from developers who have had a similar experience.

A snippet from the summary:

> The prevalence of food insecurity varied considerably from State to State, ranging from 8.7 percent in Hawaii to 18.7 percent in Mississippi in 2014-16. (Data for 3 years were combined to provide more reliable State-level statistics.

In other words, almost 1 in 5 Mississippi households lacked enough food to feed the entire family at some point in 2016. For the nation as a whole, it's still 1 in 8 household.

Etleap | Senior Backend Engineer | San Francisco | Full Time | Onsite

Etleap came to be out of the frustration with how much time data wrangling takes away from the actual analysis. We were just tired of spending time building and maintaining data pipelines. Then we noticed, so is everyone else! That is why we've created an intuitive ETL tool that easily enables the data analysts themselves to integrate data from any source. This way data analysts can do their most significant work faster than ever before.

Now we are looking to add engineers to our core engineering team to help build the infrastructure that modern data teams depend on to create and operate their data warehouse! It shouldn't take a CS degree to use big data effectively, and abstracting away the difficult parts is our mission.

What we want to see in you: - You love data engineering - You build robust and scalable data systems three times as fast as other developers - Coding in Java is second nature to you - You have a passion for improving data analytics - You’re excited to work in a scrappy environment - You’re down to earth and fun to be around. This is an absolute must!

Big plus if you have the following:

- Have experience with Cascading, Docker, and AWS
- Know the ins and outs of current big data frameworks like Hadoop, Spark, or Flink, but this is not an absolute requirement, as you're a quick learner!
- Have startup experience

This doesn't meet all of your criteria (in that's it's Daily and US-centered), but I've found it to be valuable for keeping up with US-politics.

https://whatthefuckjusthappenedtoday.com/
You are absolutely right that a lot of work to date (especially in applications and metrics-driven research) has focused on 'functions for vision problems'. But this is far from the only idea - that's the point I'm trying to make.

For instance what about learning value functions for reinforcement learning (e.g. AlphaGo)? Or natural language processing? These are definitely not vision problems, or if you believe that they are then 'functions for vision problems' is actually a pretty huge class!

The universal approximation theorem backs up my claim [0] - we can approximate arbitrary functions with neural networks. I think this theorem is overemphasised in practice: we don't generally want to approximate arbitrary functions, we _want_ to encode specific prior information into the function we approximate, as you rightly say. But that doesn't mean that we have to do so, or that we only have one idea about what functions to encode, or even how to encode them.

It's too bad about Ars. It's the same problem, except exacerbated, with Wired-- nowadays there's just the odd good long-form article.

Like I said, I'm a pedant not an apologist.

The USSR was a miserable failure, but it was not a totalitarian dictatorship prior to Stalin's rule... "merely" an authoritarian oligarchy. The Bolshevik's ideology did not align with their actions - they didn't destroy the state, they built it.

untapt | New York, NY | Onsite | Full-time | https://www.untapt.com/careers

We're using AI to help software engineers find new careers. We’re looking for a talented front-end developer with a sharp eye for clean, modern design. You’ll work alongside a team of passionate developers who are working to flip hiring on its head.

You should have experience building single-page applications using AngularJS, React or Vue. You don’t mind JavaScript’s eccentricities. You’ve done terrifying things with media queries and CSS animations. #ff7800 is your favorite color.

Our SPAs are built with React and Angular on top of plain old JavaScript. Our engineering philosophy is “practicality first” – that means mobile-first when it makes sense, IE11 support where we need it, and Flexbox when we can get it.

If you thrive in a fast-paced, energetic, tech-centric environment, now's the time to give us a shout. Together, we'll change how developers find work – forever.
I hadn’t even thought of the manufacture angle.

If Apple were to pull out, even if the board didn’t fire Cook for that... would they be able to make phones? Is ANYWHERE on Earth capable of that other than China? I suppose you could buy all the parts from China and have them shipped somewhere else to be assembled but what would that do to the cost of the devices?

Would anyone buy an iPhone that starts at $1500 or $2000?

Netflix | Software Engineer | Ruby, Java, Javascript (Ember & React) | Los Gatos, CA | ONSITE (No remote)

Join the Studio team at Netflix. We are a relatively new team within Netflix, working on tools that help us create new Netflix Originals.

The Studio Production Engineering team believes content creators should be focused on creating content, not on the bureaucracy of managing a studio. We believe if we succeed, better content will be created, we will produce more Stranger Things & Master of Nones, and we will bring more joy and awareness to the world through creators.

We build tools for the Studio teams in LA, as well as for non-Netflix employees that are on-set creating our content. (We're currently piloting a new tool on the set of Glow for example).

We're looking for full-stack (Ruby on Rails and EmberJS), completely back-end (Ruby on Rails or Java), and completely front-end (Ember JS or React).

Apply here: https://jobs.netflix.com/jobs/864893 or reach out to me (#{my_hn_username}@netflix.com) about the Java and React opportunities, and I'll put you in touch with the right people.

* Note: all of the "ors" in the frameworks that we use relate to specific teams within Studio Engineering.
Right. They were chosen because experienced Java devs should be extremely comfortable with them. Not just familiar, but basically experts. And if they're not, it's a big red flag that casts a shadow over really anything else they have to say.

I'm sure each language/technology has a small list of universals that experienced practitioners should be quite comfortable with. Of course there are exceptions, it's not perfect, but my point is that these things are a good proxy for estimating overall competence level.

I love companies developing a product also offering a managed implementation as a service, but I cannot find the pricing.

Any time it seems like I have to establish some sort of relationship and get an enterprise tailored solution, I no longer feel like I'm part of a public and elastic market.
Be careful where you point that analogy.

In that case, if we take away 99% of what the wealthy own, they'll still be better off then 99.99999% of all humans that have ever lived on the planet.

There is currently a discussion on frontpage, asking what you would pay for Y.

I find that too hypothetical, as there is a difference between "would" and actually do pay for a service.

So dear people, what do you pay for?

Myself: €6,5/m for a VPN.
I thought so too. But when I looked into typical software engineering workloads, I found that i9-7900x soundly beats the 16-core Threadripper in nearly all compiling/linking/running tests workloads because of the 20% per-core advantage. It also ended up being cheaper because x299 motherboards cost less.

> These guys largely call themselves the "alt-right".

No they don't. Most of "these guys", meaning the new right, distance themselves from that term because of its association with white nationalism.

> They're basically as bad as you've heard, but hiding it sometimes.

No, they're just lumped together in popular media. Breitbart and the Daily Stormer are portrayed as part of the same package, so that distasteful ideas from one can be used to discredit the other. This erasure of the middle ground between center-left and extreme right is referred to in conservative circles as the "unthinging" of the right. It's a smear campaign.

Your statement is a perfect example. In your eyes, anyone on the right not engaging in Nazi fantasies is really just "hiding it". You're "unthinging" the views of the vast majority of them to pretend that they are uniform in ideology.
Twitter doesn't want investors to figure out their user metrics are garbage, so they have no incentive to out bot accounts.
