I've had good experiences at companies with bad reviews, and bad experiences at companies with mediocre reviews. The fact that you can't take ratings at face value in a simplistic way in no way implies people are better off with less information.

When my former employer accumulated too many bad reviews, they eliminated their poor rating by folding their Glassdoor presence into their (much larger) parent company. That's an effective gaming of the system. It still doesn't make the whole exercise useless though.

You mean to imply he was possibly homosexual?

I have a phobia for delayed definitions. Is there a term for that?
PKD very much liked what he saw of Blade Runner though:

http://www.lettersofnote.com/2009/09/blade-runner-will-prove...

I'm not sure what the purpose of faithful adaptations is really. Better to capture the spirit of the original and make something new (something the new Amazon series doesn't do either as it totally lacks the emotional/somewhat mystical side of PKDs writing).
You're sort of on the right track, but of course you have to encode those counts very carefully because 1M counts will exceed 2MB of memory unless you work hard.
Yep, and there are agencies all over the US that share data between themselves to get access to much larger sets of data. So when a cop pulls you over in Dallas because you have a warrant in Atlanta, you now know how he figured that out.
Payment request...? Didn't they say there is no charge unless and until you affirm that you want to pay?
>Please explain this again.

I think you understood it right the first time. you're just deliberately choosing to miss the point.

To put it in your snarky-ass tone: Contrast owning a home to renting an apartment. Your landlord could double your rent, or choose to stop leasing. They can put off maintenance while forbidding you from working on it yourself. They can show you an awesome demo unit then give you something else with worse appliances and a terrible paint job and now you're stuck with it. You can have a noisy neighbor move in and the only thing separating you from them is one paper-thin wall. You can pay tons more more for dedicated parking or roll the dice and hope someone doesn't steal the last spot out front. You're completely at the mercy of the housing market: if the market goes up, no matter what you have to pay the new prices when your lease is up, since every place near your work will be raising rates too. And now you're paying double a mortgage for a shitty one-bedroom with a smoker living across the hall drifting the stink into your home.

But at sure, you can pay 3x your rent to break your lease and move to another state whenever you want, since normal people totally do that all the time.
Yes, the universe is expanded.
Stupid question: Why don't you have a choice if you want to be in crypto? People were exchanging bitcoin before tether was created; what changed?
Or, in other words: "Just spin up this infrastructure -- which includes pre-generated SSH keys, an sshd that's apparently accessible from anywhere in the world, and a pre-compiled miner that you can't audit -- to mine some cryptocurrency -- for me -- at a huge loss".

Yeah, I think I'll pass.

----

ETA: The readme says to pass in "wallet_address" but I don't see that referenced anywhere in main.tf, although I do see this: https://github.com/17twenty/ethereum-miner-terraform/blob/ma....

I've never used Terraform, though, so maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like you can pass a wallet address in, it just won't be used. If that's the case, I don't see how this is anything but a "scam". Someone who knows Terraform please look into this and tell me I'm wrong.

One last thing: the readme says it uses the "Deep Learning AMI for Ubuntu 1604" [0], but the AMI ID in main.tf ("ami-37bb714d") doesn't match any of the IDs shown in the screenshot on that page (but perhaps they were updated or something?). I don't know if that's something to worry about or not but, at this point, there's no way I would trust this AT ALL. Also, "ami-cd0f5cb6" is referenced in a comment in main.tf but there's no indication what that refers to (I don't use EC2 so I'm not sure if it's possible to find out or not).

MIPS does similar things, except that the NOP is "sll r0, r0, 0", i.e. left-shift the hardwired zero register by zero, and store the result in r0. They presumably chose this over the many other "store in R0" instructions because it encodes to 0x00000000.
You can buy car and keep it license plate free legally for sometime. I think this is what steve jobs was doing.

New license plates wont help as it needs to get registered with the state.
I think this is a great idea. As someone who has worked with (and been screwed over by) lots of people, my main advice to those using this is to just trust your instincts. Your instincts are part of your decades of experience knowing people. Most of the time, you'll know if someone is a shady type.
Yup so no ARGB5555 16 bit type :-)

No, you got me very wrong.

I thought he was a nerd, who disliked socializing and kept to himself in his home doing & reading science. Also thought he was hardcore introvert.

Had I been like him the past few years, I would had achieved what I had set out to. Instead I pursued dames in my college & set out on romantic adventures.

Was of the opinion that all super successful scientists & engineers had the same MO, & I always thought of Newton to be like that.

To be honest? I found Yegge's leaving-Google post to be one of his most underwhelming to date. Even if you don't agree, it's a bloody blog post on the internet. It's not calling people out. It's not advancing a cause. It's someone talking about changing jobs; it could as well be a personal journal entry.

Spending as much time on it as Kessler did seems like a waste of time. Spending as much time as Krubner did on a rebuttal to Kessler seems doubly so. It's the height of making mountains of molehills.
Tesla has helped enter into public knowledge the reality that efficient, road-worthy electric cars are ready here and now, despite what the oil and automotive cartels will tell you. Existing on the outside of the cabal, they are forcing the hand of other big manufacturers to get in the game lest they lose future market share.

Space X is on its way to revolutionizing the way we make time-sensitive global and orbital deliveries, and overall the company's aspirations to start a Mars colony are incredible given that no one else is trying, not even our governments.

Hyperloop + The Boring Company is an attempt to revolutionize public transportation and eradicate the limiting factor of distance in things like our careers, hobbies, and relationships. It also aims to reduce global emissions by a less-than-trivial amount.

Your argument is that, because Musk doesn't have a hulking list of massive once-in-a-lifetime achievements (who wants to read a giant list of micro-achievements?), that he has not accomplished anything.

He is attacking industries that largely don't exist, and you are criticizing him for not already being finished with his life's work.

Don't you understand that these things take time? That his companies are still largely in the "Research" part of "Research & Development?"

What are you doing with your own life that allows you to criticize the actions of one massively motivated individual?

Think of all of the great visionaries and leaders of the past-- Don't you think that, until they completed their life's work, they were also ridiculed and criticized?

Consider building up and supporting others instead of reflexively attempting to tear them down. Don't be a naysayer.
It's not the number of sets with at most 4 elements (which would be 1820), it's the number of bags with exactly 4 elements (i.e. the multiplicity of duplicate elements matters).

I'm pretty sure it was Chrome that dethroned IE, not Firefox. It had really good marketing, and nontechnical people started to adopt it rapidly because it had a really clean interface and was a lot faster than IE or Firefox were at the time.

Here's a chart of browser market share from 2009 to 2017: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Usage_share_of_web_browsers#/m...

It seems pretty clear from that chart that the rapid decline of IE was accompanied by the rapid rise of Chrome. Firefox seems to have peaked in popularity in 2010, when IE was still a lot more popular than Chrome. Chrome ate both their lunches.

There is no source of information that doesn't require engaging with a critical mindset in order to make it useful. Anything that you interpret by rote is easily gamed.

As other people have said, this particular fraud is meaningless because it doesn't fit the profile of the sort of thing that would cause problems for users. Misinformation about a real restaurant is an actual problem. Ratings of non-existent restaurants don't matter.
Sql injection in license plate would be funny.
It's possible I misread the screen that popped up when I tried to search that said something along the lines of "Choose an account to sign in" instead of showing me the map I asked for, but if you're looking for product feedback: whatever screen it was, it was enough to get me to stop using the app.

The readme shows roughly 4.5 Mh/s which might get you maybe $10/month if you're lucky.

A g2.2xlarge will cost you $0.65/hour.

So, no, it's not anywhere remotely close to profitable -- unless you've stolen some AWS credentials or (like what's apparently happening here) you get others to mine for you and eat the AWS costs.
Yeah but the trading volume shows that there is substantial activity on a boatload of altcoins. Of course it may be artificially inflated but I do believe that a lot of people did invest back in the coincraze last December - and for what its worth now that prices are more down-to-earth it may be possible that the more adventurous want to buy in as long as the prices are low...
I'd suggest that people who don't like the new behavior of the WiFi/Bluetooth toggles provide feedback to Apple. [1] There's no feedback page for iOS that I know of. So provide the feedback for both iPhone and iPad. If thousands of users do it, then it might probably help change the minds of those deciding how iOS should work.

Arithmetic coding will work too, without any special trick to code duplicates.
The trick is that you only need to store the unordered list of seen integers as your state while you sort. This takes about 1.5MB or so. The reduction in space comes from the fact that you don't have to store the order (for example, you could store the numbers sorted and only record offsets. That saves space because the offsets will be smaller)

> University of Queensland entomologist Dr David Merritt said the bee was a solitary leafcutter bee that searched for hollow, and usually empty, spaces in which to build nests.

Hypothesis 1: The spider knows the bee is laying eggs and can possibly make a meal of the babies and the bee either thinks this is worth the risk, or started the nest before realizing the spider was there and doesn't have time to find another.

> “Judging by the size of that spider it would be quite a task for it to grab that bee and it would get stung,” he said.

Hypothesis 2: The bee and the spider are in some kind of behavioral stalemate, they both know that the risk of a bee sting is greater than the potential of a bee meal, so they tolerate each other.

I would still wonder whether the bee can recognize that the hole was a spider burrow if the spider isn't present. If the bee can't, then I would wonder what the situation would be for each of them when a spider was out hunting and came back to find a bee already building a nest.

In any case, it looks like there is some good science that needs doing, very cool.

There are choices. But if you do large amounts to the largest exchanges, this is the default.

You wire money in, you get tether in your account. Which can then be used to buy other coins.

They're the ones applying for experienced full stack developer positions...also we're not doing gotcha-style whiteboarding. It's literally 'take some basic thing and break down how it works' -- we don't even require it to be something in code. Some guy came in and gave us a data model for a flush toilet and nailed it.

If the self-taught/bootcamp junior programmer can nail it while you can't and are asking for twice+ as much money, how do I justify hiring you?

GE was gifted by one of its employees with one of the greatest trade secrets of the century, making many devices such as air-conditioners far more efficient (combining AC and DC on the same chip or something close to that.) Had GE patented it initially and licensed the tech widely, immense amounts of greenhouse gases wouldn't have entered our atmosphere, that did. Jack went for exclusivity and the immense profits from that instead, until others got close to the idea, then G.E. patented it. Terrific for shareholders, but an immense tragedy for the earth.
It's 4 5-bit values, not 5 4-bit values. 5-bits is enough to enumerate each bit in a 32-bit bitfield. This means for any application that might set 4 or fewer flags out of a possible 32 need only use a 16-bit bitfield.

As I said in another comment I just tested this with a 32-bit hash array mapped trie, and it would result in a significant reduction in the storage overhead of the trie (which is already more efficient than typical hash tables for map like data structures).
How are you encoding the deltas exactly?
Yeah, I didn't pay attention that you can't really store 1 million 32 bit integers in 2MiB without encoding/compressing them somehow.

The factorial is taking too much care of the fact that order does not matter. If I wanted to store four 1-bit numbers, ajkjk's math would suggest that I need log2(2^4/4!) = -0.58, i.e. a negative number of bits. You can't just divide by 4! because not all combinations of 4 numbers have 4! unique permutations.

> If you want to optimize storage of duplicates, you still have to store the number of duplicate numbers, and you are back where you started.

No, because you can shave off a few bits by ignoring the ordering of the non-duplicates.
So “Liberal Democrats” from the UK is a false cognate?
I believe firing Scott Forstall was not a good move for the company's future. Whatever the reason cited was (Apple Maps) at that time, that hasn't improved after all these years. I'm not talking about the U.S. and a few other countries, where there have been big improvements — in many other countries in the world, Apple Maps is useless even in major cities.
This implies that other nations must necessarily have a lower standard of living, while the US is importing their people.

Few countries import graduate researchers on the scale that the US does -- and China, notably, does not, even though it seems like a credible threat in your eyes.

Something is wrong with the US if it can't foster domestic talent to an appropriate degree so as to remain competitive. In the long run, the US will not have a standard of living so much higher than that of other nations. A lot of that lead is a direct consequence of the outcome of the second world war, and a lot of the rest is due to inheriting British institutions -- the legal system, and broad respect for rule of law -- at a time when few of the governments around today were even formed.

I'd rather see them compete on features, especially charging speed and ease of use. Hopefully the best system will become a standard, but even the mediocre ones should improve in response to competitive pressure.

If the manufacturers agree on a standard so early in the development of the electric car industry, we'll be stuck with it for a while because there won't be anything pressuring them to improve it.

All of this ought to be moot for buyers anyway. When I travel to countries with different electrical plugs than my own, I just bring an adapter. Hopefully the car charging systems will develop in such a way that it's possible for electric car owners to just keep a few adapters in their trunks when they need to charge somewhere other than their homes.
From what I've seen, it's often employers posting fake (positive) reviews anyway.

You seem to both understand, and maybe have overcome at one time or another, this sentiment. Would you have any advice for someone who seems to experience this chronically?
Perhaps they should try shadow-ban-plus. Banned accounts are only visible to, and can see a random subset of users, at random times. If a cluster member looks for other bots he may or may not find them because either he is banned or the target is banned, or both, or there is a glitch, and there is no way to tell.

I'm pretty ignorant when it comes to gentrification, so perhaps someone could help me understand: how it is that we're simultaneously hearing about how poor millennials apparently are overall compared to their parents generation, and gentrification and spiraling housing costs in seemingly every city?
Additionally, you can train a human to become better at astroturfing over time, and train your network as a whole to be resilient to partial takedowns.

These things are much easier to orchestrate than bots, especially if your specialization is not CS but scamming / manipulating opinions, and in many cases, especially with scale, human labor can actually be more expensive.

Of course, subsidizing the labor to impoverished countries definitely helps; these networks tend to lack the sophistication used in more sensitive political or industrial topics.

Sometimes for national or global campaigns you'll find a mix of both cheap labor, a small team of experienced astroturfers with a good grip on their persona acquisition and management, and bot networks, each targeting a different set of demographics. If your target demo is sufficiently ignorant or radicalized in their beliefs, it doesn't take much to convince them and bots will do just fine.
Who else was he going to sell to with marketing like that?

It was intentional as you note. Calling it the 25 hour work week, wouldn't have sold very well, and would have attracted less of the shortcut crowd. He deserves appropriate criticism for the pandering, intentionally seeking to sell to that audience, with a fraudulent setup premise; the shortcut followers are his created monster.
