This is the sad reality in some cities in the Bay Area (of all the places in the world). With 4k content and at least 10 connected devices in a house going back to a 10Mbps line is a PITA. But a PITA we may have to live with to support local ISPs and express our displeasure with Comcast.
some new public housing, massive amounts of market rate construction that is currently prevented by NIMBY soning, increased minimum wage, better public schools, universal healthcare and better union protections should do the trick.

I understand where you are coming from logically, although I am of the belief that this is not ethically acceptable. Ethics aside, jumping straight to human testing without assessing safety wouldnt really save that much in terms of cost and time to develop a drug, compared to developing better in vitro and animal models of disease

safety studies are not the largest driver of cost and duration of drug development. failing a later stage human study that assess effectiveness is a much bigger needle mover in terms of cost, as is the arduous and painstaking process of early drug discovery and development. human studies of effectiveness cost $15-500M+ and can take 3-7 years. putting a drug in humans that has a low probability of success is the most value destructive thing you can do in pharma. the other big cost driver is early research in drug discovery and development. understanding the biology and chemisty, developing assays, and screening compounds can cost $15-20M+ and take 5+ years. by comparison, animal safety studies cost maybe $5M and take a year or two

For more context:

There's an important distinction to be drawn between two main types of animal models: models assessing drug "safety", and those assessing "effectiveness". the models of effectiveness are very poor and of questionable value in some cases, although they are often the best we have. animal models of effectiveness are not literally required for FDA approval, although in reality they pretty much are

animal models of safety, however, are required by FDA, and rightly so. they are of much greater value. generally you must do studies in a small species like a mouse as well as a non-human primate. these "toxicology" studies basically entail dosing animals with huge amounts of drug, way more than you'd dose in humans, and then seeing what doses are not toxic. this informs the first dose youd do in humans

the initial human studies are not done to study effectiveness, but to study safety. based on the data from your tox studies in animals, as well as other studies, you gradually dose cohorts of patients with higher doses, watching carefully for safety signals.
> Title II was only introduced in 2015

It was treated as such prior to that, implicitly (without the force of law). Policy was established to enforce it, formally. It wasn't just "introduced", it was tacitly accepted until there were known bad actors, because there was an expectation that acting in opposition would birth policy (it did). Pretending that traffic was treated equally before and after, is just another piece of mischaracterization. A piece that is used to distract from, and minimize, the problems with removing the policy.
We should really work in the projective plane, so as to have a point “at infinity” which resolves this issue and serves as the identity element for the group.
I think I covered that.

Do you realize that this is not yet in a stage where there is any kind of exclusivity? That's the biggest hurdle to overcome. There was a time when YC needed outside financiers more than they needed YC, but that's rapidly changing and once one of the mega-hits exits and YC really becomes flush that door will open wide enough for another evolution.

I think the tell-tale will be once YC contracts will start to include language giving them the option to fund all future rounds through a right of first refusal or other language with similar effects. This is a huge exercise in leverage and critical mass, one of the most interesting stories of the last 2 decades in start-up land.

The end game is pretty obvious and I really wonder what the next steps will look like. But from the moment the continuity program was launched the cards are essentially on the table for all to see.
A lot of people make money with deep learning with images ;).

I guess what I wanted to do was add a bit of nuance. It can help reduce the amount of feature engineering needed. Of course you still need a baseline representation though. More feature engineering also doesn't hurt. I always think of deep learning in the time series context as a neat SVM kernel with some compression built in. With the right tuning it can give you a better representation which you can use with clustering and whatever else you'd like.

Nah. They can spare a lot of pain and confusion by not having two different Pythons with different sets of libraries in Excel, and they have this opportunity because they don't have to support people's old Python 2 spreadsheets. There aren't old Python 2 spreadsheets.

The libraries that are stuck on Python 2 really don't seem relevant here. There aren't many of them anymore [1], and I don't think people will be trying to run graphite-web or some busted old OpenID provider in their spreadsheet.

(I originally used Fabric and Twisted as examples in the above, but hey, those are on Python 3 now. Also not things you'd be likely to use in a spreadsheet.)

Another text that starts with linear transformations is Apostol’s Calculus. It’s somewhat more concrete than Axler, IIRC — e.g. it doesn’t try to avoid determinants, but starts with properties of volume-scaling and then develops the determinant formula out of those. We used this text for freshman/sophomore math back in the 80s, so my memory is fuzzy; but I liked it a lot.
I'd encourage you to think of this from the perspective of the person who's fearing for their life. It's rational to assume that the likelihood of someone potentially harming you is much higher if they're vocally expressing hatred about your identity.

Then you might be shocked to learn that net neutrality actually permitted ISPs to engage in viewpoint-based censorship.

This whole debate has been so completely hijacked by utterly false premise arguments.
As a counterpoint, I'd argue that conflict can act as a "force multiplier" of sorts.

Every large war in our history has caused leaps in technology. Even on a smaller scale we treat conflict and competition as a good thing that promotes innovation.

Life as we know it "craves" and thrives on conflict. And if that's a universal truth, then any other civilizations we meet could as well.
Good point. And Facebook arguably has more money to throw at their lawyers than anyone else (apart from Apple and Google)
The technique is known as "parallax scrolling". Not sure on the exact tech, but here's an example library: https://github.com/Prinzhorn/skrollr
It is not really a buggy representation though. Autocorrecting your behaviour based on other opinions is a huge part of being human. Its a loss function that we seek to minimise. Whats buggy about it is that you start hearing the process that results in a loop. Listening to the outside world normally has a higher priority. Thats how you autocorrect you inner model. But now you are autocorrecting your inner model based on your inner model. As a result your theory of mind skills deteriorate.
A big part of how YC got where they are is by being more founder friendly than anyone else, creating an impressive positive feedback loop. Adding exclusivity would destroy that. The partners have a much more long term focus than this.

We have something to learn from the church here.

For long decades, the Protestants and Catholics did bloody battle for dominance of Europe. It seems silly to those now who think religion is a trivial lifestyle choice, but the lesson is to be learned by viewing this from their perspective. To them, each saw the other as putting the immortal souls of the masses in grave danger. The stakes could not possibly be higher, which is why the solution was so hard to see.

Freedom of religion is a very, very counterintuitive idea if you think religion is deadly important.

The churches agreed to live together in peace, not because they concluded their cause was unimportant, but because they could see resolving their disputes with blows was error-prone and cruel. The best way forward, the best chance truth had, the most just and practical way to live, is to commit to resolving these conflicts with words only.

The idea was so successful that today we would not think even of dragging someone out of a cult against their will. Even if a religious idea is obviously bad, we are committed to opposing it with words only because the lesson of history is that the alternative is so much worse.

It's a lesson we need to learn in politics.

We are not at the point where opposing political views generate open warfare, but I wonder more and more if we might be heading in that direction. But we do oppose each other in ways we wouldn't tolerate in a religious context: we ostracize and chase away people with unpopular views from various societies, either virtual or physical. We organize campaigns of legal or personal harassment. We organize economic pressure to attack the livelihoods of individuals whose views we find offensive.

All of these tactics run the same moral risk that physical warfare does: if you turn out to be wrong, you have done a grave injustice. And someone is wrong. You can't be sure it isn't you. Therefore, to prevent society being an awful place to pursue your conscience, none of us should do these things.

Worse, a campaign against an idea that consist of anything other than criticizing the idea runs the risk of being wrong. Strenuous debate is the arena in which truth has the best chance, so it is where we should all agree to fight.

We need to learn the lesson the church learned centuries ago. We need to commit to fighting our political battles with words only, not because they are so unimportant that we can tolerate error, but because they are too important to let the strong and popular hold sway.
If Thor: Ragnarok and early reviews of The Last Jedi are any indication, though, they're not afraid to experiment and break the formula. Especially as the brand recognition increases, they've taken and are starting to take some big risks as it pertains to blockbusters.

The real out-of-the-ordinary films are always going to come from studios like A24. We'll never get a 150 million art film (Blade Runner 2049 notwithstanding), but it's a little much to expect that.
Freelancer sites seem to end up in a hostile 3-way fight. Customers, clients, and the middle man each one trying to screw the other two groups.

And it gets worse with scale because it turns into a race to the bottom, the good players get lost and lumped together with the bad ones you can't spot/differentiate them among the sea of crap.

First some sites like Elance/Upwork/oDesk/Freelancer came along and they abused their popularity more and more every day.

Upwork has gone completely insane in the past few years treating freelancers like dirt.

Then from there you get another generation of sites that basically capitalised on "we are the good guys trust us" marketing.

They do some higher end marketing. Often (effectively) saying "yeah those cheap Upwork guys are terrible ... just try us we are different".

They also tend to be hollow, just a shiny store front, but in principle still the same troubling incentives are at play.

What if equity purchases were forced to occur more slowly? Such as being locked into that equity for a cooling off period before it could be sold? What about other ways to allow, if not coax, investors and corporations to think long term again? You know, force greed to chill out a bit.

But isn’t it simplistic to equate all transphobic people with murderers who commit violence against trans people?

When your life is on the line, it is generally wise to err on the side of caution. If you assume someone openly transphobic is a threat to your life and you are wrong, you are at worst being rude to them. If you assume they aren't a threat to you and are wrong, you may end up dead (or maimed or otherwise egregiously harmed).

With those stakes on the table, the only logical thing to do is to vet people you can trust, not give assholes the benefit of the doubt that maybe they are merely assholes and won't violently assault and/or murder you.

Maybe the only cosmic infrastructure required would be listening stations and the ability to steer big rocks to sources? The listening stations would be hard to pick out. They could run a 'reverse' fermi equation of sorts and figure out how fast you need to detect and extinguish signals to keep the universe clear. Would the extermination look anything more than unfortunate random collisions? Do we actually have enough data to calculate if collisions are above some noise floor of random happenstances?

> Adding exclusivity would destroy that.

Not necessarily as long as founders believe they are 'the lucky few' and as long as going through YC substantially increases your chances to make it. And thinking you are part of the lucky few is something a lot of founders do intuitively. No further action required there. And if the numbers are good, why not, as long as the chances of going through YC substantially increase your ability to hit one out of the park those companies that really believe in themselves will still apply.

Keep in mind that 'failed YC' (not getting accepted after applying) is already a negative signal and founders are not likely to disclose that they applied for YC but did not make it when looking for alternative funding. So there already is a potentially negative signal in play, it's just that it isn't public enough to make a difference.

The ratio between YC funded start-ups and start-ups funded by outsiders (for follow on investments) is the one to watch, that will be the signal.

Well, there is PowerPivot...
One point of view of a trampoline is that you are implementing a small virtual machine (or, in the terminology of SICP and I believe the original Scheme paper, a "register machine") with two instructions: call and return. The virtual machine provides the programmer with a very controlled goto statement, known as a tail call.

The more general principal is that you can introduce small virtual machines to extend a language with features not present in the original one. In an extreme case, you can extend C with a virtual machine that implements all of Common Lisp. Much less extreme is an asynchronous event loop using generators. (A language isn't just its syntax.)

CI/CD is pretty easy. Another commenter mentioned Jenkins+Terraform. A year or so ago, I did a great project using just Jenkins+CloudFormation for Lambda deployments, too. Took a bit of initial investment but after that it was maybe the best development experience I've had, despite the tooling being lackluster and best practices still sort of emerging. We used TypeScript to build microservices in the backend with API Gateway talking to a proxy tier, Angular 2 in the frontend. All super enjoyable to use.
Not sure if its fixable in the millennial's lifetime. Government can't do anything as boomers ran up the national debt by slashing their taxes. There's no money to go around. There's also a huge infrastructure bill thats also coming due as it wasn't upgraded. Bridges, public utilities, dams, mass transit all need to be fixed at they are past their lifespans. Lot of it was built during "greatest generation" period and not touched afterwards. American Society of Civil Engineers estimate at least $2 trillion to fix our infrastructure over the next 10 years.
I use PANDAS in Jupyter Notebooks a lot. Sometimes, exploring large data frames can get tedious and I find myself loading up excel to explore and browse around, usually when deciding how to normalize or clean things up. Using Excel as a PANDAS Gui this way would be really great, but also using Python to script excel would be useful. And I guess I would love to call bokeh / seaborn after making an excel cell selection.

I am looking forward to what a Python & Excel marriage will look like.

If you can make the trip you can probably survive in space definitely. I'd be surprised if truly space faring civilizations really like gravity wells. Getting up and down them isn't cheap (although with plenty of effort it can be made cheaper). Everything is all stuck together, if you can find an asteroid of the material you want mining it and moving it for sale/manufacturing should be so much cheaper than dealing with moving a bunch of unrelated materials away under gravity.

In space you'd be able to move arbitrarily large objects with just an accelerator, map of the solar system and a transponder. In a gravity well you need a lot more and way more $$$ if you want to get it up the well.

Then again I have no training in the subject.
Here is the problem: most of these stats are not what they pretend to be (unless exact circuit / spec is published). Look at low level details of building say avalanche noise source: http://holdenc.altervista.org/avalanche/ - bandwidth is mostly bound by voltage/frequency/sampling resolution - how often you can trigger entropy event and how many of them in parallel? True result for one AN circuit: 2000 bits/sec.

What a lot of these vendors do is have some physical phenomena on the chip that feeds hardware "whitener" (endless hashing) that responds without blocking to all requests. That's practically hardware version of “/dev/urandom" that is bound only by chip IO - but its completely disconnected from bandwidth of actual “true” entropy phenomena underneath. of course it is still good CSRNG, but its not “true” source. btw nice exception: TrueRNG team are pretty honest providing direct schema - hence the real entropy speed of 40kb/sec.

In short every single entry on that list should be independent inspected down to specs and schema of whitener. If they are not publishing chip spec with exact details I highly highly doubt the bandwidth of “true” entropy events are really approaching GBps - this is the speed of whitener, not of actual generator.

I formed the opinion that Facebook (the service) was in trouble back in 2014-2015 when I noticed the site appeared to becoming more about interaction with content posted by 'meme pages' and such rather than content produced by friends.

Dude, you are not making any sense. I cited a CIA report on Russian meddling in the 2016 election. Explain yourself.
Something went wrong around 2005-2008 where ISPs became no longer content with the voluntary net neutrality that they practiced for the previous 15 years. Maybe the mythical "exaflood" (traffic demand growth exceeding Moore's Law) actually happened and thus ISPs "needed" to either reduce demand (blocking) or increase revenue (double-charging) to maintain expected profit margins. Maybe mergers between ISPs and content creators motivated ISPs to think more strategically. Maybe greybeard engineers retired and were replaced with suits.
Cost of living is much lower. Health care is included. I think there were six weeks of paid vacation per year. Budapest was a 2 hour bus ride away (10 euros), and many other interesting destinations were very close. If difficult times strike, you won't be left to die on the street. Things like life experience and culture are often more important than money.
