"In his novels Dick was interested in seeing how people react when their reality starts to break down. A world in which the real commingles with the fake, so that no one can tell where the one ends and the other begins, is ripe for paranoia."

They're buying all of the tickets, increasing them by more than double and only selling between 50% and 60% of them, so they still come out ahead.
I meant things like the food queues as well - they can get crazily long - and even corridors can feel dangerously overcrowded to me the few years I’ve been there. Then when it rains it also gets super humid from all the wet coats and bags everyone carries. It’s a valuable conference definitely and I appreciate the effort that goes into it but I don’t find it very pleasent. It’s a bit more like a festival than a conventional conference.

The ideal future of web browser evolution in my view:

The entire purpose of these types of laws is to protect consumers against overwhelming corporate interests. Are you saying that all laws governing product quality are nonsense and that we should be relying entirely on the free market to protect our interests? Or do you just not like this particular law because you personally don't agree with it / don't care about device repairability?
Last time I took a cab in NYC there was non-stop video advertising that I couldn't turn off. At what point will we as a society start to realize it's a miserable existence being advertised at around every turn, and start to set limits? In many states, even public schools run ads in the hallways.

What you're describing is a feature/bug of referral-based hiring and has nothing to do with specific groups or nationalities. People tend to refer their friends, and other people they've worked with. I'm not denying it would be good for everyone to leave their social bubbles and make some new friends though :-)

The object of a political botting campaign is to promote views that are complementary to ones' own political agenda and remove those that are not. With an automated system that removes discourse that corresponds to patterns used by bots, a social adversary would only have to adjust their bots to resemble the voices they want to silence, for a perfectly platform-sanctioned way to silence people they disagree with.

There are plenty of profitable business ideas but you can’t get capital for them because they aren’t going to be billion dollar ventures with 10x returns. The problem with entrepreneurship in America is lack of micro financing and support for starting small business - not lack of ideas or lack of people.

How many more entrepreneurs and businesses could we create if financing was focused on capitalizing new business instead of only seeking the largest profit for the sake of enriching banks and already wealthy investors.
I believe it's individual VAT handling. They've solved it for EU citizens but for instance, about Russia, it still says [1]:

"In Russia, Google Cloud Platform services can be used only for business purposes. Warning: If the sole purpose for which you want to use Google Cloud Platform services has no potential economic benefit you should discontinue your use of the service"

It used to say the same thing about EU citizens for a while. The line about "no potential economic benefit" is pretty bizarre as far as far as I've seen...

Yeah, I think there's a certain fallacy going on with respect to uncertainty.

It's like studying for exams.

Sometimes in school I studied for 10 hours for exams that turned out to be trivially easy. I barely needed to study at all. I could have gotten more sleep, worked out, practiced some other skill... I would have been a much happier person if I'd spent those hours on something other than school.

But then other times I studied for 10 hours for an exam, and when I saw the questions I was kicking myself for not putting in just another hour or two. The exam covered material just barely beyond what I studied, and my grade would have improved dramatically if I'd only put in a little more effort.

When I put in long hours at my job--which I don't always do--I'm not doing so because I'm mistakenly believing that working is more important than relationships or relaxation; I'm working long hours because I'm unsure about the future and I want to make sure I have some minimum level of security. Sometimes I look back and those hours feel unnecessary, but other times I realize how lucky I was to have put in all that work.

That said, I still think there's a lesson here. We should constantly step back and ask ourselves what we really want to be doing. Sometimes that means working less, and sometimes that means working more. Just because we worked 60 hours last week doesn't mean we need to work 60 hours this week, and by the same token we shouldn't get complacent just because things are going well and there's no immediate need for more effort. Some of my best decisions in life have been when I completely re-evaluated where I was at and decided to do something completely different. Sometimes that meant pursuing a passion, but other times it meant giving up on a passion to do something realistic.
Why do I need to "define exploitation"? We're only discussing the behaviour of venues and ticket resellers. What you say the venues do and what the resellers do is exploitation and that should be enough for the purposes of the conversation.
For (2), developers aren't the ones making the decision to deprioritize bot detection. The decision makers don't care because the ROI on detecting/removing bots is likely negative, whereas using those ML people to improve ad targeting and engagement is much higher.
You need to check out the electronics that the Soviets had on board the spacecraft after Sputnik. The kit they had to get to the moon, Venus and Mars was quite special in those analogue days, if you only know digital electronics then it is even more impressive.

Hence bugging a few American typewriters the Soviet way results in such a cool solution. The task was probably relatively easy compared to space.

The space race story we tell ourselves is not entirely true, the Russians didn't have 'better Germans than what the Americans had', actually their rocket science was far ahead of the amateur German efforts and they didn't need help from the Nazis. Meanwhile, in America they pushed their guys to one side and insisted that the Nazi work be what was the basis of the ICBM/space program. It was the American rockets that were relatively crude, not the Soviet ones. So cut them some slack, bespoke electronics with clever radio wave stuff was something that the Soviets were extremely good at, mass production a different story.

While I agree that PhD gate-keeping is frustrating, I've found a sizable subset of the people who say that really mean "we want you to have the mathematical foundation for this", not "we require a PhD". I don't have a PhD, but I've found that generally, as long as I can show I have the theory down, employers don't seem to mind.
For the same reason(s) everyone else in this thread is crapping on running your own mail server. There's really no need to.
>The I-140 can be premium processed. How could it be pending for years?

"Premium processing" just means that your premium fee is refunded if the application is not approved in the short time. It can totally go for any period of time imaginable even without lawyers filing it in such a way as to ensure a couple of RFEs.

>Your new employer restarts the PERM process with the priority date from your old application.

Meanwhile you are on a 1 year H1B extension, which cannot be extended until you have a new pending I140. Which, in turn (if memory serves) requires 1 year and 1 day left in status to file (though there are probably ways around it too).

> Hence I said the system could be better.

I am not arguing that system could not be better, I am arguing against "mythbusting" of ease of switching jobs on H1B. It's easy on a fresh H1B but it's very complicated later and this is the reason people don't often do that on >6 years H1B (practically with 5+ years you are already running into the issues with I140).
"Why we're writting click-bait article titles that assume an extreme minority-held premise."
It's not in the company's interest to ban these bots but if it really is that easy to track, we should do it from a third party.

A Twitter/Facebook/whatever client plugin that flags or hides bots seems feasible.

It's even in a certain business interest to track bot traffic for more accurate click through tracking so perhaps there's even a market need for this.
I think this illustrates a mentality of undervaluing programmers. I think it underestimates how hard and intensive the job is. I think prospective co-founders do this exact thing to programmers.

Why would someone go the extra mile, to work late into the night, for someone who just viewed them as commodities at the lowest bidder? Were any successful startups you can think of built on Upwork? (I think Digg's MVP was on oDesk.)

Creating a sense of authenticity, [1] mindfulness of the product, aesthetic, value is hard to outsource. Unless you have someone sink their teeth in it.

It's just not the trend I've seen at startups.

> b) Are you sure someone didn't already make a lib for that?

As for the the library part. Just billing code alone is consuming my life right now. Sure, there's the stripe-python wrapper over the API, and djstripe. Which even goes all the way to create a database parity with Stripe's resources.

Can djstripe handle multiple subscriptions for a customer? Will it automatically propagate plans configured locally so they exist on Stripe's end? Can djstripe recover from inconsistencies between the customer ID in local storage and stripe's remote (a custom intervention would be required). Does it have a flow for handling stripe elements (the widget that accepts billing info), creating a user (if logged out) and accepting the source? I can list more.

Am I to expect an outsourced programmer is going to consider all these cases? Or do I have to wait for customers to drop off?

There are superb libraries, permissively licensed ones. But no one-size-fits-all to give a workflow that looks top notch. A great deal of the skill when programming isn't just data-in/data-out, but gluing and synthesizing the parts cohesively. In this sense, there's a great differentiation from a programmer with less skill, or giving less effort, and someone taking the time to make it fit in.

User's have an expectation of quality, typically based off the "craftsmanship" of other sites they visited. There are competitors, and having stuff like a good UX, somebody in your timezone, immediately accessible, "in the zone" on where your product is / its philosophy, that speaks english to debug things, all help.

I know :-) but I choose bleach because I don't think it has an "inconsistent with its labeling" label.

> Lead poisoning in lead mining towns is one of the long list of things that is probably worse than Chernobyl.

Chernobyl's effect on the environment, economy and human health was quite significant after hundreds of billions were spent and dozens of lives were lost containing its effect. This is a very strange comparison you have made.
I also used bash scripts a lot to get quick insights from csv files. Someday I realized that these are mostly sql queries that I encoded into complex scripts. For the sake of trying, I implemented a simple sql to bash transpiler that takes a sql query and returns a bash one-liner that you can execute on csv file(s).

As an extreme example of why market rationality is useless outside of academic debates, people who buy heroin are making a voluntary transaction - so it's a pareto improvement for them to trade their dosh for junk.

That's assuming that "making a voluntary transaction" is really and uncontroversially a "pareto improvement". Personally, I have no idea what that means, but you can replace it with any term:

If someone is willing to give up their ticket for $X and
someone else is willing to buy the ticket for $X then it is
a <gobbledegook gobledegook> for them to trade, since they
both get something they value more than what they have.

People who buy heroin are making a voluntary transaction so
it's a <gobbledegook gobledegook> for them to trade their
dosh for junk.

I suspect it's to allow easy payment, just like Lyft/Uber take away the payment problem. But, also maybe to give it some legitimacy, and make it seem like a "real" business rather than a flea market in a car...we Americans do like our big box stores and don't always love our mom and pop shops.

I'm surprised it's not against the Uber/Lyft terms of service for drivers, and probably will be soon, if it makes money for Cargo. An obvious optimization of this model is making it so the price of any snacks or "essentials" you buy on your ride is just added to the cost of your ride. So, if I were an investor in Cargo, I'd be asking, "What are you going to do when (not if, again if this is profitable) Uber/Lyft start selling products during rides?"

I've seen some drivers pitching their own businesses (i.e. mentions they're a DJ, or house painter, or handyman, or whatever, in casual conversation and has their card handy), but I've never seen one selling stuff directly in the car. I've heard some drivers give away stuff like water and what not, but I've never been in one of those cars. Maybe because I never take the fancy luxury Uber/Lyft services.
All of these points are not fundamental problems. Researchers are not writing expert driven rules where the "raw" accuracy of structured data is that important.

The only important part is making sure that the training labels are accurate. If the training data has inaccuracies, the model should learn to work around them (with some accuracy cost). The main question simply is how much signal is in the data. And that's hard to predict in advance (see the recent surprising results about predicting sexual orientation from faces).
Completely agree. Having enjoyed these pleasant improvements, I am considering subscribing again.
What lovely engineering! A shame it was wasted on this spy-vs-spy stuff.
Bingo. Healthcare data is so unorganised its not even funny. That's often why you see machine learning medical leaps in really niche areas, like making a diagnosis based off an MRI scan etc. I think if this does succeed, it will succeed in an equally niche area, such as with a specific system, in a specific clinical environment.

Your comment is so important to grokking and exploiting the full value of public cloud.

I happened to be on the front row at re:Invent listening to Andy Jassy’s keynote with another AWS Customer Advisory Board member who has used EC2 since launch.

We joked it might be dangerous to drink a shot every time Jassy said “just click” or “with a click of a mouse”.

As believers in the value of repeatable declarative “infrastructure as code”, we were dismayed at the increasing tendency to prioritize “AWS Console” web UIs over APIs for a number of AWS capabilities.
Yeah exactly. All the devs are working on business prioritized projects. Removing bots is not a business priority. Nothing to do with how smart the devs are.

> The installed version should always be the same everywhere,

Agreed.

> the latest available from the repository.

Highly controversial statement. It depends on the policy of the pancake maintainer. I’ve seen too many subtle bugs introduced by changes in configuration file behavoriour, new defaults, etc.

I would say if you can guarantee “latest version” means “this version plus security patches” or the maintainer is absolutely pedantic about semantic versioning, have at it. Otherwise, consider the pros and cons of stability vs being up-to-date, and make a judgement call accordingly.
> Second, this might be a first for you, but a new person coming in and deciding that the current code base is unsalvageable and needs to be completely rewritten is pretty much a cliché in our industry.
