SafeButler (YC S17) is hiring employee #2 to modernize insurance
Solving our own pain point, we are automating insurance shopping for American consumers. After a quick signup, a consumer's insurance shopping and management are put on autopilot with us. Better deals automatically come to them for the rest of their lives. Switching takes only a single tap. It will save consumers time and money while giving them better protection.

Bugs in our system could mess up people's lives big time. If you take pride in writing code that "just works", if you love turning customer feedback into a deployed feature in minutes, you'll love it here. Practical experience with Python/Django, SQL and automated testing strongly preferred. Practical experience with Ruby/Rails or Java will be considered too.

Please contact danny@safebutler.com. We are a 3-person team based in Newark CA (across the bay from Facebook). At this point, Bay Area candidates only, please.
No need to do that, you can use wasm to build lua[1], although the API definitely needs some clean up. This looks much nicer from a JS integration perspective.

I think this is a very good point. Years ago people were worried about gradient descent getting stuck at a local minima, plausibly because this problem is very obvious in a 3 dimensional space. In higher dimensions however this problem seems to go away more or less and a lot of worrying about the issue seems to be the result of lower dimensional intuitions wrongly extrapolated to higher dimensions.

I think trafficking is horrible. I also think that censorship aids abuse, including probably trafficking.

Would we even be having this conversation, if decentralized conversation hadn't brought such topics into broader, public knowledge?

Would Weinstein still be preying, if an open Web hadn't made an end-run around mainstream media and their "pulled" stories?

Maybe apples and oranges. On the other hand, law enforcement has earned zero credibility towards their claims of apples actually being apples.

In other words, where are the stories -- the facts -- demonstrating such ubiquitous surveillance and censorship actually achieving their stated goals? As well as not serving other unstated, clandestine goals and mission creep.

Remember when "Internet surveillance" was strictly for and "because terrorists"? How long did that last?
I guess a lot of people aren't at all familiar with Africas geography. I mean the whole article is called "Diary of an African Cryptocurrency Miner", presumably because Kenya was too specific and obscure for their target audience. If your mental map of a continent is largely "here be dragons", I guess it's easy to associate Nigerian scammers with Kenyan cryptocurrency miners, who live some 3500km and several international borders away.

It's not limited to Africa though. I'm from New Zealand, and I've had Europeans ask if I visit Japan a lot, because I'm so close (I'm about as close to Japan as Germany is). I've had Americans ask if I was ok when they heard news that tropical cyclones were hitting Queensland (I'm as far from Queensland as a Jamaican is from Ohio). And the hemisphere thing stumps so many people. Usually they just constantly forget that the seasons are reversed, but I've had one educated, multilingual gentleman from east Asia ask me if North and South mean the same thing in the southern hemisphere, or if they have opposite meanings.
The .web files aren't meant to be read raw; you should instead read the typeset version (http://texdoc.net/texmf-dist/doc/generic/knuth/mf/mf.pdf)

Even better to read from volumes C, D, E of the Computers and Typesetting series (https://cs.stanford.edu/~knuth/abcde.html). Specifically in this case, Volume D (METAFONT: The Program) — the mini-indices on each page spread are useful if you're trying to understand the program, and they're missing in the typeset PDF (above) that you can get with weave.
I don't use an iPhone simply because of the ridiculously restrictive and stupid app store. There are so many apps out there that just cannot be implemented on iPhone because of their dumb policies.

I hope it's clear I haven't talked to a food truck person because I lead off my reply literally saying I haven't heh. I used that as an example because the parent comment was talking about a food truck site he made for someone.

I can't force you into believing anything and that's fine but I don't think I need to defend myself here.

I have no agenda. I'm only bothering to share this stuff (along with the 100+ other posts on my blog) because I don't want to see other software developers go through the same mistakes I encountered along the way when freelancing for the last 20 years. I've been burned by marketplaces in the past.

Btw, what I described works (and has worked for me personally) with any of the niches I listed in my original comment and many more. No, I haven't created a super successful SAAS business from any of them but my idea wall has a dozen that could be made and would likely have some degree of success.

The problem is, I'd rather spend my limited time on creating software developer courses and building that up because unless you're passionate about what you do, you're very likely going to go no where in the long term and I'm not passionate about making SAAS apps related to industries I'm not personally involved with on a daily basis.
Aren’t you losing a lot of the benefit by using a GC’d language in the first place?
What are your details? As a developer I’d like to know more designers I can refer to!
They presumably still have a contract where he does work for compensation.
That did sound weird to me too on the food truck side. Most of them seem to go from place to place almost on a whim, and the customers go to them because they're pretty good and right there. I don't think anything on the internet is ultimately going to do that much for them. Their customers either already see them because they see the truck, or they aren't going to bother travelling halfway across the city for it. I like food trucks all right, but I don't think anybody likes any particular food truck so much that they'd travel for 20 minutes to find a particular one.

The only reason, if you can call it that, is academic inertia. It’s is taught as part of most engineering degrees and is accessible enough for students to stick with it.
I'm not sure I agree with you. In fact, a scientist's analytical thinking may be of great help in understanding the more complex art forms and thus engender a deeper appreciation of said art. Also, scientists are highly educated people and as such often have a strong background in the arts and humanities too. Specifically the "classical arts" tend to be the purview of the upper middle class that most scientists belong to.

(At least that is the situation here in Germany, where our Humboldtian tradition of education places a premium on a well-rounded schooling. Amongst my fellow students - biologists, physicists and such - it is not abnormal to discuss literature or music or philosophy. It is almost expected of an educated person that he or she be able to talk about such topics.)

Speaking personally, I have to say that I find it refreshing and indeed almost necessary to engage in "right-brain activities" every now and then. Few people are entirely logical in their thinking - and art is a wonderful outlet for the emotional side of our being.

But there must be 10x developers out there starting a business and who are not yet ramen-profitable?
They build walls and fences because of economic inequality. I have been in places with huge 3m walls and in places with no fences around the house and owner name plates over the doors. In former places there are jobless people asking for job in the streets, lets call them thieves.

Walled gardens just keep small developers out of the marketplace by rising the bar. Now you need to pay money or have a name, so WhatsApp, Viber and similar shit can retain monopolies and keep their users despite being filled with ads and offer less security than competitors. Jabber clients and independent media never get a "verified" badge.

If you want to download "genuine" WhatsApp, go to their website, check their TLS certificate (you can never be sure, they don't even bother to get a EV cert, even for WhatsApp web; https://app.wire.com/ has an EV, for example) and follow the link to Google Play. Software repos are not here to do the job of CAs.

Why would you want to disable that behavior? If you need them in a specific order, you can disable that behavior by using a struct. Ideally, your automatic variables won't have any memory location at all because they're optimized out or kept in registers.
How often do you actually need to do that?
No. "Stack" is an implementation detail. I don't think the standard even mentions the word "stack" anywhere.

And now what appears to be a coup with a dozen members of the royal family charged with "corruption". Besides a consolidation of power, asset forfeiture, or other conspiracy theories. Wondering if any Arabic speakers may have a deeper insight as to timing of these remarkable event ;)

> The AoA invalidation logic ("mark AoA measurements as invalid if airspeed is less than 60kt") made the stall warning turn off as the stall became even deeper, making diagnosis of the stall more complicated. Worse, the BEA report states that the appropriate (nose down) control input led to the stall warning reactivating (since such an input would increase airspeed above the 60kt threshold -- inherent to a proper stall recovery), leading the pilot flying to reverse their control inputs and return the aircraft into a worse stall

This sounds extremely confusing indeed. Having this kind of inconsistencies under high pressure is something that would need a really experienced and steel-nerve person to handle.

I've always felt similarly about Lord of the Rings. It feels so authentic and real. Every other similar fantasy novel just reads as if everything in the story was made up for the purpose of telling the story, which of course it was. In LOTR it feels like historical fiction, like Tolkien designed everything about the world down to the finest detail then wrote a story in it without making anything new up.
That simply isn't a bug, it's a feature suggestion that was rejected.
>>Which is just kind of amazing if you think about it. Imagine if the energy industry didn't have to deal with EPA regulations or manufacturing companies didn't have to deal with OSHA regulations. The political winds are starting to shift and the tech industry is increasingly going to be held responsible for the negative externalities they create.

wow, what a terrible analogy.

First off you have seemed to conflate 3rd party liability and 1st party liability.

If a Company pollutes say a river that is the Company doing it directly. Thus they are liable for it

If someone posts some threating comment, or some copyrighted work to a website the hosting company did not do anything wrong, they provided a service that was then used illegally, holding them liable for that would be holding a 3rd party liable. Something that should be rejected by society

A better anology would be "Image if Ford was responsible for every drunk driver that used a Ford Car irresponsibly and killed someone with it"

Do you blame Home Depot for renting a truck to a Terrorist? Dont answer that I bet you do.

>All banks have to comply with Know Your Customer regulations, which is easier for bigger banks than smaller ones. And yet society has deemed that combating money laundering and tax evasion is worth the cost.

Some of use in society do not agree it is worth the cost

>>It'll be fine.

Yes because the banking industry is a shining example of ethics, customer service. Next to lawyers I can not think of a more hated group in society than Bankers. There is a reason for this and the fact that competition is limited due to the law you cited and many others is a reason for this.

It could just as easily be said that you are guilty of assuming all Node developers want a million tiny modules and all of the decision making overhead that goes with it.

Express is a nice small framework and is good for some things. Sometimes though you really want a monolith. If you are a Node developer there isn’t a clear choice for this.

I actually enjoy Sails, but I can see some decisions they’ve made that probably aren’t attractive to new developers (such as still using Grunt by default).

This boggles the mind, and the lack of communication makes it feel like the work of a new lawyer used to corporate law, where the rules are to strike first and communicate later.

Outside of new counsel, we might be able to get more insight into the issue when the SFLC's fall conference [0] recordings are posted next week [1]. It does include mention of trademark squatting, after all.

The naming of SFC / SFLC was always a bit confusing, but that's a reason for better marketing, not a shot across the bow. I've met some of the SFLC folks, and the LF angle seems ridiculous on the face of it, as I don't see Eben Moglen (previously RMS's lawyer), selling out to the LF.

But the claim the paper is making fits perfectly with the above:

> On the negative side, we prove that no algorithm can achieve accuracy of ε < 2η in learning any non-trivial class of functions.

Though this is for a very particular type of adversary which has a lot more power than I'm claiming. In my case, though, I'm strengthening the side that the adversary has a very large number (e.g. infinite, as my claim "N->infty") of possible examples in the training set to be eps-close to.

---

Rereading the above: Sorry, I'm not quite sure I understood your point! Are you claiming that there is such a model which is resilient to adversarial examples, and also has a large number of parameters relative to the hypothesis class size? (e.g. say VC dimension?) In that case, my claim would be definitely false, but I have yet to see such a paper (if you have a reference, I'd love to check it out!)

>This law is very clearly designed to tackle a negative externality from tech companies

What externatlity is that? If they want to fight sex trafficking, really fight sex trafficking, they need to start by making prostitution and other forms of sex work legal.

Prohibition is what drives the activity under ground and creates the market for Sex Trafficking in the first place. It forces people that want to consume those services to a market that is outside the law, as such bad things happen, this is same for Drug Prohibition.

All you have to look to his the passage of the 18th amendment, all of the problems and violence prohibition of alcohol brought, and then the passage of the 21 amendment to end it. Today I do not see Budweiser shooting up Coors over territory, do you?
The joke is young people don't use Facebook anymore. Those most interested in policing and shaping it seem to be German internet-clueless politicians and activists in their 50s and 60s. Meanwhile half of web/IT jobs on German market require React.
An impressive quote, but I cannot agree with it fully. Of course it is a very important function of art to shake us up and get us to see the world in a different light. No doubt about that.

But to reduce it to merely this is to ignore what makes art what it is. It ignores the aesthetics, the concept of beauty. The idea that something can have value without having explicit content.

Aesthetics make art a potent tool for transmitting ideas. We are more likely to be influenced by something we sensually enjoy. But it is the aesthetics that make something art, and not the idea. Art can exist without the latter, but not without the former. And that is valid too. Because sometimes, what we really need in this world is just a little bit of beauty.

I like the characters and cast members in general, but there are just enough elements that ring phony that they are distracting. (I'm also just watching it for the first time, since it popped up on H&I TV.)

The dog? No. Jumping into encounters and landing parties with little plan and no caution? No. Bringing the dog? NO. (Heck, I would hope that in a first landing anywhere we would use pressure suits, as much to protect their environment from microbes we might carry as the reverse). Not having shields ready in any encounter until after being fired upon? No. Any amount of battle damage being not only survivable, but repairable in deep space without resupply? No. The Phlox character? Very well done. Jolene Blalock? Yes. Your first officer having only skin-tight uniforms that show off her rather amazing figure? Distractingly unrealistic. I liked the cast a lot, generally speaking, but I've never been a fan of Bakula.

Some of the other humanoids they encountered were cartoonish and one-dimensional; others, like the Andorians, were much more complex and believable.

(Spoiler) And what they did in the final episode was artificial and left a sour taste. (Were they cancelled, and that was a reaction by the writers/producers out of spite?)
Redux is not actually necessary for React, you can manage state without it.
