I actually meant it literally -- you get extremely close to completely fitting in but the problem is, as soon as you travel to a place you've never been to or hang with people you've never met, you're back to step one and you feel like you're on the outside again. This dissonance grates on me (and I think it would on anyone), and there's no one you can really rightfully blame.

This is something that I feel the US really gets right -- once you're an American citizen, you're an American and that's that -- no one generally asks where you're from unless they're trying to get to know you. This might have more to do with how America was formed, because it just is a country made up of a lot of people from other countries in relatively recent history, but it makes sense that Japan can't really do this with how homogenous they are.

There's a ton of nuance, and mileage varies a ton from person to person in their interpersonal interaction in any country which is why I was so literal with what I said -- most people I've met would agree with the literal statement.

TLDR;

> It also estimated that 8895 IU of vitamin D per day may be needed to accomplish that 97.5% of individuals achieve serum 25(OH)D values of 50 nmol/L or more.

Compare that with 600 IU (current "Recommended Dietary Allowance").

A word of caution though:

> As this dose is far beyond the range of studied doses, caution is warranted when interpreting this estimate. Regardless, the very high estimate illustrates that the dose is well in excess of the current RDA of 600 IU per day and the tolerable upper intake of 4000 IU per day [1].
> But even if you for some obscure and irrational reason care enough to rely on behaviour left undefined then you also go another standard approach: adopt a specific implementation and check how the behavior was implemented.

By undefined behaviour, I mean things like null dereferences, buffer overflows, memory leaks etc. that are done by accident and result in serious issues at runtime. I'd rather use a safer language where I can be more productive where possible.

Sounds like you're talking about implementation defined behaviour or unspecified
behaviour which are different from undefined behaviour (these three terms are defined in the C++ standard document).

> But somehow you feel differently about a language you clearly know nothing about.

You're not even trying to understand the point you're leaping to attack. You clearly have a chip on your shoulder about something.
I used the advertising and employer situations separately. I think you're noticing that I mentioned being fired when talking about advertisement - by "advertisement" I meant by proxy all of the related data storage / exchange / leaking that accompanies it. What if Google gets hacked or sold and the new owner of their data sells a background check service on your searches? Or what if an advertiser tries to target to suspected drug addicts, then turns around and uses that info unethically?

I understand what you're saying about your employer, but there are different levels of self-censorship. My level of self-censorship for friends who work at the same company as me would be very different compared to acquaintances at the company and my boss. I'm ok with the first one because it's what I would do for my friends anyway. I know there are ways to toggle privacy/whatever to affect what people can see but at the end of the day I'm always going to assume my employer can see any regular post I make on Facebook through one means or another.

Hold on, I get using disposable email addresses (I use them all the time), but I'm not sure why you are concerned about Discord knowing your email address when it's going to literally know everything you type into it (in other words, messaging history).

It's a bit like being concerned about gmail requiring your real name to sign up. I mean, yeah, but, what?

FWIW I signed up years ago and never received a single email from them outside of the initial signup one and any I requested.
That's not really true. There are quite a few working visa categories for professionals in engineering, medicine, journalism, higher education, etc. in addition to the lower-skill categories for basic English teaching and "entertainment." The government has also introduced a points-based system that prioritizes visas for people with more skills/experience/income, and has been making it a lot easier to get longer-term visas and permanent residency.

Ugh, this company desperately needs some competition to keep prices in check. AMD really has no one to blame but themselves for their lack of success in ML. They could have been a real competitor years ago with a relatively small investment in software but they didn't even start seriously trying to compete with CuDNN until this year.

Edit: I didn't originally see that the die size of this chip is nearly double that of the older Titan XP. Perhaps the price isn't as outrageous as I first thought! I'm actually glad that there's a big enough market now to support this kind of ultra high end product. It's certainly a beast and I want one.
Yes. Essentially you prove you have the funds to do bootstrap and support yourself.
It's interesting seeing a post about censorship in China on the front page with many concerned HN posters, while under it is a post about Discord gaining many users where none of the comments point out the most important thing:

Discord is proprietary software, meaning users have no practical capability, or legal right, to study, modify, or share the code, and it is a centralized service. Thus Discord can be used for censorship and surveillance at a moments notice, and the only power people have is to not use it.
Such large software systems take a lot of time and effort to create. Network effects and motivated complacency make it unrealistic to simply wait until something bad happens before switching to a freedom respecting software.

Discord should be rejected outright simply for being proprietary, but software that is used for communications and forming communities have even stronger reasons not to be locked down and controlled by any one entity.
Excellent and informative comparison, thanks!

We know that genetics and environment both play a significant role.

So think about it this way:

If you're genetically predisposed to having very dark skin, you will be able to tolerate more UV exposure without significantly increasing your risk of cancer. And by continuing to be exposed to high UV levels, your body will continue to produce melanin to keep you protected. It's a feedback loop.

If you're genetically predisposed to having pale skin, but then expose your skin to higher levels of UV than your low melanin levels can guard against, you will sustain significant sunburn, and if you do this repeatedly you'll significantly increase your risk of skin cancer. But if you gradually expose yourself to moderate levels of UV you can gradually increase your melanin levels more safely, but only as far as your genetics allow. (This is theoretical of course; we know very well that it's very hard for fair-skinned people to expose themselves to UV light from the sun or tanning beds without overdoing it, hence the widespread occurance of skin cancer.)

My educated guess about the notion that dark skinned people are experiencing higher levels of cancer would be that if a dark-skinned person keeps avoiding UV for long enough, their melanin levels start to decline (due to it not being an optimal use of resources), but then if/when sun exposure happens, the protection isn't as strong and the risk of cancer is higher.

I am not convinced that "super-intelligence" is either possible or a threat.

If it is possible, why are not societies or corporations super-intelligent? I suspect they are not, because they face organizational problems that any system will face. And I don't think these organizational problems can be solved with faster or more communication, but rather that they are fundamental in distributed systems.

But maybe they are (at least in some cases) vastly more intelligent. But then, are they a threat? I think they are more of a threat to themselves than humans..

My Japanese girlfriend is always curious (from a distance) about America and what it's like there -- she sometimes assumes that it must be a terrible place because I chose Japan.

I usually explain that Japan and America have the same average quality, but Japan's peaks and troughs are fairly close to the average, while America's are much more extreme.

I don't know if that makes sense (and I'm not guaranteeing it's 100% accurate), but it helped her "get" how Japan is a bit different. :)

When Computer Vision Improves Customer Experience
I think a bit part of the blame can be put on the internet. When I was a kid most of my information came from one source, the TV - or via books which I could read in my own time.

Now information barrages us from multiple outlets, in real time and at times too fast to comprehend the changes.

With this I think a large part of the population has essentially "switched off" to rational thinking, maybe an evolutionary reaction to what the brain perceives as a something that can harm us.
This is epic. Just shows that now even the patent office has the resources to understand the work submitted to them. I am wondering if could automate this and flag all the patents that are granted by error.
I wonder Vitamin D deficiency is to blame, or a major factor, in the increasing rates of depression. My personal hunch tells me that it's not simply due to people becoming more willing to seek treatment. Wikipedia [0] mentions that vitamin D supplementation typically shows no effect for patients with depressive symptoms and only moderate effect for patients with diagnosed/diagnosable depression, but from reading the linked article [1] it seems like the studies they base this research on perhaps weren't using enough Vitamin D according to the new research

I don't think so, there were already other languages, like e.g. Modula-2 with similar features built-in (processes, semaphores and co-routines).

For me there were two main reasons:

1 - the cost of getting a commercial Ada compiler, much more expensive than most alternatives

2 - initially many though that Ada compilers would be extremely costly to implement. Ironically, C++ compilers are way more complex to implement than Ada ones.
I was going to comment on that statement as well.

I lived in the Philippines for over a year and my first sixth months I lived in a pretty rural area where most people had dirt floors and bamboo/cinder-block houses. I believe some of them had cell phones but not all of them.

The interesting thing about the above quote to me is that though people live in such humble circumstances that doesn’t necessarily make life more miserable for them then for you and I. Some of those people I met in those circumstances were very happy people. They may not have the same things, but the things they have like family they hold dear.

On a tangent, I think the principle behind the article’s solution (basically that we should not pity and should help by building ramps) is the difference between empathy and sympathy. Like it was stated earlier in the comments we need to put ourselves in other people’s shoes and see if they have any problems with their situation. Once you know and they know you know there is a problem then you can go about expressing your concern for them or providing a solution. The problem with just giving pity outright is shown in the article.

This is a great post. I'd like to add:

> You can get even better value if you can build your team outside of Sydney/Melbourne.

So much this, but talent outside the big cities is rare. I lived in Queensland for a while and would have taken a massive pay cut for any tech work... but there just isn't any. I knew more people working in Sydney (fly-in-fly-out) than working in local companies.

You can pick up uni students cheaply. They're grateful for relevant work.

I knew a few founders living cheap but pretty much all knew that moving to the US was an inevitability.

> focused on building a good business first

This is a massive plus of starting in Australia. The business has to make sense. Local funding sources aren't as willing to build perceived value and flip the company -- it's important to have a genuine sustainable business with customers and cashflow.

> 43.5% of your development cost back through the R&D Tax Incentive

Probably half of my lifetime earnings have been paid for with the R&D Tax Incentive and other grants. It's such a good deal that every incorporated company with a tech component should be trying to claim it.

I'm not grumpy or anything, but in Queensland, claiming government grants for tech companies is probably more lucrative than working in a tech company. There's an abundance of funding and a shortage of people able to use it.

> don't limit yourself to selling or developing in only one location

I forget who gave the talk, but it was from Muru-D at Co Spaces in the Gold Coast, and guy said (paraphrasing):

"New Zealanders have an advantage over Australians because they know from day one that they will have to sell overseas to make their company a success. Australia is big enough that you can fool yourself for a while, but it won't take long before you reach saturation and need to move anyway. Better to get it done sooner."

People have this naive view that tax law is insanely complex and full of loopholes for fun and/or profit. It isn't. It's largely because well intentioned people tried to do a "right thing" for some specific circumstance and unintended consequences made the outcomes wrong.

Edit: The *999 pricing confused me, it's actually $5000 more.
