Yup. This applies for every popular site with reviews.

For other funny things with reviews, I have some experience with Polish eBay/Amazon equivalent, Allegro. The following things are regular occurrences there:

- Employees of a seller creating fake accounts (and/or asking their friends and family to do this) and "buying" things with payment on delivery in order to leave 5-star reviews and positive comments. The things obviously never get sent, so it costs only as much as Allegro bills the seller per item sold.

- Clueless people leaving negative reviews because they're clueless. Like e.g. a seller I know just got a 1-star review on quality and delivery time with a comment that said basically "I got the merchandise and it's fine, but I've been asking you for the invoice for two weeks and didn't get it". The guy bought the product only a week ago, and had the invoice sent twice already.

- Sellers fucking up, getting negative reviews, then calling each of the reviewers asking them to delete the negative review, and usually bribing them with discounts or free items.

Reviews on Allegro are very high-stakes thing for sellers; just a few negative ones can mean you lose a promoted spot or get your account suspended immediately. Such situations can literally make or break a small business seller. This leads to them reviews gamed to such absurd levels that you basically can't trust them at all, if the seller is a company.

Now these are anecdotes for one site only, but given my experience on-line, I'm pretty confident they generalize to anything popular with a review system.
Hi there, I built this service to provide light and good looking status pages management, inspired by the Heroku status page (and some others), I decided to go with Elixir + Phoenix as I enjoyed it in my last project (lesen.io).

This is still work in progress, there are many features on the way but I think it can provide some value already, and hopefully I can get some feedback here so I can pick wisely on what features to work next.

Since you brought it up, I've had a hard time looking at positions for software engineers (not a single mention on this month's whos hiring for example). Any ideas?

I will never question that he knows language and its obscurities, but real world in his case is even more different.

Scott Meyers is a C++ guy. I will bet that nowadays most of C++ programmers are in game development, HFT or other computationally expensive performance oriented areas, and there is this data-oriented design movement which goes against almost everything he ever said. There are entire constructs of language he is proficient in that are never used in real world.
At the risk of being labeled as an elite as a derogatory statement, because college graduates provide more social utility to the nation and tax revenue over the long term. So figuring out a tax policy that encourages that behavior is absolutely in the collective interest of every American.
Seems like FUD to me ! Maybe Sarbanes Oxley.
> Democrats are losing seats everywhere, have not been grooming enough replacements for the old-timers, and won't shake the loser 60's radical ideology

Uh, the Democrats never, as a national party, had a “60s radical ideology”, and since the 1990s have been a solidly pro-big-business center-right neoliberal party barely distinguishable from late 1980s Republicans but for some equal rights stands; that's weakened a bit in the last few years, and may have hit a tipping point after the 2016 election, though its kind of hard to tell for sure with the Dems lacking any of the national power centers.

Efficiency isn't always a good thing. Efficient systems can be more brittle, more centralized, and with errors that correlate. This is the story of inventing more and more efficient financial products until the whole system collapses due to interdependencies.

Sometimes you gain a lot by having deliberate inefficiencies.
I am a little surprised by many of the answers here. I thought the conventional wisdom here was, essentially, "Your source code is not as valuable as you think it is". For what it's worth (literally 2c probably), my $0.02 is that I agree with that conventional wisdom. Don't be anal about this, nobody wants to steal your source code.
This is quite anecdotal and not very helpful to the question asked.

All the time people apply for jobs with different expectations than what the job role is. That is what the interview process is for, so both sides can find out if there is a good fit.
I would love this even more if you could input your itemization total. This tool is so much better than the ones I’ve seen previously, and actually it’s kind of ridiculous that congress can’t create this tool. Being educated about the personal effects of this bill is just good governance.

Yes.

My point was just that there are obvious up-sides... so it's not like e-voting is some pointlessly insane thing.

I happen to think it's a bad idea even with dead tree audit trails, but I can respect the position that, with appropriate audit trails, it makes the voting process more robust.

I believe this (https://github.com/input-output-hk/plutus-prototype/blob/mas...) is the smart contract scripting language he's working on. Far from an expert on formal methods and language design, but, it does seem to be more fleshed out than the public information on Simplicity.
I used to work for a smallish (<50 headcount) company that sold high-value software with a LOT of secret sauce in it (image processing algorithms) mostly to telco, wireless, and MSOs. The primary reason those folks wanted the source code was as insurance that if, as a smallish company, you went out of business, they would be jolly-well-rogered if they had deployed your stuff in the middle of their mission-critical revenue-generating operations. Our solution was always to use a mutually agreed third-party source code escrow service such as Iron Mountain. The only escrow release triggers were company insolvency/bankruptcy, or refusal to meet the SLA of support requests for an extended period of time (the -Off Clause).
I'm surprised your comment is showing up grey (downvoted). It' a perfectly reasonable solution. I'm considering adding a new "remote" plugin type to our server for running hooks in sidecar processes. It wouldn't be my first or second choice but it makes lots of sense if you have to talk to something that might have bad p99 response times.

The "Create content model" UI is definitely not as polished as the one from Contentful or Kentico Cloud - but it works. You have to actually manage relationship tables yourself, which some people might like.

They are just that: theoretical violations and even they are touted just by the FSF: no one else agrees that linking against source code taints your own code.
I think it is because the exemptions are eliminated. Of course I don't know how accurate this calculator is but if you enter my assumptions above for a typical middle class family of 2 kids and $60k income, nearly every state has higher taxes.
That is the very problem with ML, it comes up with answers but provides no insight as to how. For example, you teach a vision ML to detect balls of various colours in pictures, then give it pictures of battleships - it might see the bubbles in the wake as balls, but won't tell you there is a great big hulking grey thing in the picture.

Escrow arrangements are common to protect clients from software vendors going bust.
It's not really a joke, just an understatement. Very dry humor indeed. Could be modesty or exageration, but at its core, it's true.
It’s really scary in Bitcoin land. Either you store your coins online and worry about hackers, or you store them offline and worry about burglars, fires, etc.

I’m starting to appreciate the government enforced protections a traditional bank account provides.
There might very well be other addresses used to transfer the stolen Bitcoins.
Indeed, the source code only considers tax brackets, the personal exemption, and the standard deduction. I've read of an increase of $650 in the per-child tax credit combined with the loss of the per-dependent personal exemption and an increase in the standard deduction. If your last $4333 of annual income is going to be taxed at rate of 15%, then a $650 credit is just as valuable as a $4333 deduction or exemption and thus slightly more valuable than the current $4050 personal exemption. Thus, contrary to this calculator, middle-class families with lots of kids will not get big tax increases.
So sorry, I messed up the link somehow. Please flag if you run across this submission.

Although...you can say that about Cinemark or theaters as a whole right now. AMC Theater stock prices have plunged in the last year. Culture shifts have killed theaters before in the US like with drive-in theaters which were decimated by such a shift.

I agree that the average Joe will misinterpret the significance of AlphaGo, to Google's benefit.

Many labs (including mine) are working on it. The streetlight adds a small bias, but the bigger problem is that we have no idea how to build human-level AI.
One of the great things about bitcoin is that unless someone confesses we'll probably never know if it was an inside job. Do we even know who runs nicehash and in which country?
One tactic I've heard is to increase the price by 5% and then give them a 5% discount if they pay within 30 days. I've never tried this myself, but I've heard that this greatly encourages prompt payment because everyone loves a discount.

Oh yeah thats right but I was talking about VCs subsidizing our movies, taxi rodes, food. Its kind of nice.
Fully agree!

I used to run a enterprise software business for many years and we learned quickly to always just answer “Yes”.

Specially with requirement lists clients would send us...much of that stuff didn’t make any practical sense and it was clear that who ever wrote them had no clue what they where doing...answering “Yes” got us into the door and we always ended up delivering what they actually needed at the end.

Just make sure to charge for every Yes they make you deliver :)
The comment on their web site says that their payment system was compromised. If so, that means they had $64 million worth of bitcoin connected to their public-facing web site.

So I actually kinda hope for their sake it was an inside job, because that would be a lot less stupid.

It’s equivalent to the usual definition, but spares you a few steps when proving the existence of eigenvalues. I.e. you only need to prove that T - hI maps some nonzero vector to zero.

I’ve had a financial product audited by an independent firm the client and I agreed on. In fact they still audit it on a regular basis despite the product no longer being maintained.
Of course I'd not say the same, that's a very different situation than across the board reductions.

In a country where 47-50% of tax returns have zero income tax liability, and 60% are not net tax payers, a new policy that lowers the tax rates across the board, but has a floor of zero, will obviously only affect those who have actually pay taxes.

Another question I would be interested in hearing an answer to is why is everyone so concerned about tax breaks for the rich? Since the federal government doesn't operate on a balanced budget, the only motivations I can see are greed or spite. Greed because people are afraid they will not get services paid for by someone else, or spite because they think it's unfair that someone has more than them.

Official Salary Sharing Thread for New Grads – December 2017 (reddit)
I'd show my source code if I were you -- for one simple reason. Most data science teams in large enterprises suck. Even such teams have intellectual brain power, I can tell you with experience that they won't be able to achieve anything even if they have access to your code. Having a solution is a minor thing for an internal team.
Try and grab yourself a combo update file and apply it to your system.
As several studies that looked all the ballots cast in FL have concluded, Gore had slightly more votes than Bush. However ironically if the Supreme Court had ruled for Gore, the selective recount that Gore's lawyers were arguing for would have favored Bush.

I'd show my source code if I were you -- for one simple reason. Most data science teams in large enterprises suck. Even teams that have technical chops, I can tell you with experience that they won't be able to achieve anything even if they have access to your code. Having a solution is a minor thing for an internal team to push out a solution. You as a startup have more chances of success than an internal team. I'v been on both sides, multiple times and it's not even close.
my theory is that their main asset wasn't their consumers, or even that data, but their ability to be a card processor and issuer (like the big banks). I don't think there's very many of them, and the effort required to build that is very time consuming and expensive.
This is an uncivil and unsubstantive comment. We said we would ban you if you posted like this again, so we have.
The merit in using the purely functional language is in that it opens the door for application of powerful methods and concepts of Category Theory. (Note also that even the very notion of a function being injective can be defined in a purely functional manner, i.e. without any reference to sets or their elements.)
If you can store it offline, why can't you just store it online in an encrypted file using a strong encryption key?
I see voting systems as multiple components. You don't necessarily need to use the government or the existing structure to issue the hardware tokens - I was just proposing that as one potential idea as logistically it seems like it'd be the easiest.

You could set up some decentralized system like the Certificate Authority system that we have for the internet perhaps to verify & issue tokens. That would be fairly difficult, however, as there would also have to be assurance that a single person has not been issued multiple tokens. There would likely require there to be a central registry somewhere.

You can't just "PGP it" in this scenario, as it needs to be one token per voter - and that has to be provable. In a "PGP"-like system - while you can receive higher assurance of identity through other people signing your public key, it provides no assurance against tokens being associated with fake identities, or people owning multiple tokens.

Regardless - identification is just one aspect of voting.

You also need some way to store the votes that have been cast (while maintaining integrity, verifiability, confidentiality) as well as a way to tally the votes (while maintaining integrity, verifiability, confidentiality). That's the component that the blockchain would serve to fill.
Probably not much as long as you were in good standing. It'll reduce your average length of credit by a bit, but afaik having one account with a short age probably won't hit you more than a few points for a little while.
> If they keep charging everyone else and make education free for employees, the tuition they would have paid becomes taxable income.

Is this really true though? Some universities charge in-state and out-of-state students different tuition rates, but the in-state students aren't liable for paying taxes on the difference between the tuition rates. It seems like those are just different degrees of the same thing so the same rules should apply. Perhaps the distinction is that the schools who differentiate between in-state and out-of-state students are state schools and thus play by slightly different rules?
What? That seems both wrong and meaningless. You can compile as many programs as you want into a single DLL. Doesn't mean a thing.
I think for startups, trying to show growth, savings are less valuable then revenue growth. For mature businesses measuring profit, a dollar of cost savings is worth more than a dollar of revenue.
> I think part of the reason why Google even decided to make its own phones is because of security.

Huh. I think the main reason some people (myself included) go out of their way to avoid Google products as much as possible is because of security.
I was responding to this: "Given how bad most Android OEMs are at keeping their devices up to date, Google didn't have much of a choice, other than relying on iPhones, too, for its internal security."

My question was why Google would be relying on iPhones when they could just use Nexuses(then) or Pixels(now), since they are pushing their own updates (especially security).
Bitcoin Hasn't Replaced Cash, but Investors Don't Care
Is there such a thing as an "independent code review", I would be perfectly happy to give an independent auditor access to my source code???

They could verify it works, that it will preform at scale, and that it doesn't have security vulnerabilities. But I wouldn't want to show that source code to a client who would potentially build the same product themselves.
If they require proof that your models are working, you should be able to show them simulations to that effect.

If it is a matter of due diligence, then it should be something that is discussed between your lawyers and the company's lawyers.

If this ask is coming from the engineering side of the company then that is a red flag.

You should also think of the impact in terms of acquiring other customers once you have opened a bit too much to this customer.
