Japan has a very close relationship to Vedic sciences. This has been established since ancient times. Look at their gods for example, almost all are 1:1 Vedic/Hindu gods - Ganesh, Lakshmi, Saraswati, Kuber, Shiva, Yama etc.
> It's hard to pitch a greenfield project like Eve, because there's no real great way to quantify the benefits of a language before it's been fully realized.

Plenty of languages have been developed without major corporate backing (especially in the beginning). Off the top of my head, elm, elixir, Haskell, ML, ruby, python, coffeescript, purescript, Idris, Agda, pony and I’m sure many others were developed at least initially by hobbyists and/or academics.

I honestly don’t know a whole lot about Eve. Maybe it was too large in scope to be a side project or fully volunteer-driven. But, even if that’s the case, that’s one of the main things academia is for; perhaps Chris should go for a PhD instead of a startup. I’m sure there are plenty of schools which would give him ample time and resources to work on it for research.

Then, the algorithm gives negative weight to locations where dangerous groups tend to live. That is, it infers race from other parameters.

What you should do is to keep the ratio of people classified as dangerous same among different groups. But this comes at a price as reduced classification accuracy.

Dutch museum row reopens uneasy debate about colonial legacy
My own experience here - I am based in London. There is a huge talent shortage and huge skill gap. So not only there are not enough people to cover every single role out there but there is also lack of skill and solid understandings of security and technology in general. Of course, there are plenty of smart people in this industry but this number is small compared to the demand.

If you are serious about security try to get a job in a security consultancy that does penetration testing, APT and that sort of stuff. They often hire people at a junior level too and build them up. I've seen quite a few people progressing from basic level to advanced using this approach.

You absolutely have to pay performance royalties for live performances. You can ask the dozens of bars that has been sued over this, and go to nearly any bar in LA that bans cover material (at open mics even) over this issue. It's mainly about paying ASCAP and BMI a license

I would think churches are a different story entirely as that is a non-profit center.

In any case, if you post a cover on YouTube, you will be fine. The site wouldn't exist today if it wasn't for the legal wrangling they did to ensure songwriters got paid something.
> email, chat or mixed of both in a one convenient place.

No, exactly. But you are always at risk of being just another channel. So you need to beat the rest. Or be above them. Or at least consolidate a few.

Front does a better job of marketing themselves as such (not the outlook argument, their inbox argument).

If you could pull in "channels" or have an open API for adding custom channels where users can participate in helping build your catalog, I think that would help.

The beauty of discord is with webhooks. Slack has "integrations" but they needed 1st party support. And I'd use Zapier to bridge the gaps. But most API sets have webhook support. And Discord allows for postings via webhooks. So I have a simple REST webhook processor page that takes incoming webhooks and posts to discord and everything else.

Not that webhooks are your answer, but just an example of a common chat app setup with a drastically better/easier feature set than their major competition.

I would add possibly polluted or adulterated dairy. Raw milk (anecdote) may not cause the same issues as processed dairy.

Also, I would add that most processed dairy (besides just plain old milk) is mixed with many other detrimental ingredients. So there may be a cause/effect relationship overlap with other foods.
These valuations aren't necessarily just a bet on advertising as we know or imagine it. At least for FB and Google, the assets that give them power to direct attention to ads can potentially be monetized in other ways if ads stop being the most lucrative.

And conversely, if you don't own an asset that redirects a massive amount of attention, you can't launch any kind of product without getting help from someone who does (whether you call that help advertising or not).
You go from rule-based thinking to feedback-based interaction. Part of the picture is described by the old saw about international politics: "No permanent allies, only permanent interests."

I do believe we are entering what I call a "trans-rational" era. There are stable strange attractors beyond the Age of Reason. Our technology is forcing us to confront the questions of who we are and what we want to do with ourselves.
Europe has also passed “right to explanation” to help with this issue which is great. unfortunately it seems they came up with it in isolation from researchers on this topic and went with the don't record it philosophy.

>>In other words, black defendants actually are more dangerous to release

Yes, but...

>>and there is no magic algorithm that bypasses this fact.

Maybe there is, it's just the method used wasn't able to find it either due to limitations of the method itself, not enough information or bias in the training set.

As a toy example: assuming you only have race and age to make your decision on then to optimize for public safety you need to include race to make good decisions. If you have race, age, number of friends who committed crime then maybe you don't need race anymore. The problem is that we are likely not getting enough data and then race is a proxy for that uncollected (and maybe uncollectable) data.
For those who want to try the turmeric directly and without preparing curry, you can take it this way. This is a traditional recipe for cold/flu but can be generally taken everyday. Mix a half teaspoon full of turmeric with little bit of black pepper powder (varies based on how much you can tolerate) in a glass of milk with either a spoon of sugar or honey.
I did not claim it to be infallible, nobody does. It is a science, on equal footing with any other science. It followed the same rigorous trial & error procedures that is required of all sciences. And science does gets things wrong. Ayurveda roughly translates to the knowledge / science of health. Just because it is from India & it follows Hindu traditions does not disqualify it from anything.

> I don't even want to being to think about how or why amplitudes can be complex, and what you would possibly do with a complex probability

I don't pretend to completely understand it either, but one crucial point here is that these complex amplitudes and their interactions are the "real" reality - they are "more real" than the normal probabilities we are used to, in that they are the things that actually exist in the universe and give rise to the 'normal' probabilities that we see.

A lot of mental resistance to quantum mechanical ideas comes from thinking quantum mechanics is weird, instead of thinking quantum mechanics as normal and us being weird[1], because of the scale we live in and normally observe things in.

I've only had a chance to skim this, so maybe I misunderstood.

That being said, the authors' point seems to be right there in the introduction - "it's not fair to hold all individuals to the same standard, irrespective of race."

In other words, the broader community should tolerate laxer pre-trial sentencing standards applied to people of race A, precisely because they commit more crime than people of race B?

Pretty odd concept of "fairness" if you ask me.

Also interesting that explicitly adjusting for race does not affect recidivism predictions by the COMPAS model. In other words, as it stands, the model is not inadvertently discriminating on the basis of race. I wonder if the same testing has been applied to sentencing decisions.
Designing Non-Repeating Patterns with Prime Numbers (2011)
The white paper goes into some detail on the encryption and key exchange mechanisms. Basically devices exchange public keys so their private keys never have to (and physically can’t) leave the SEP.

Backups are different. Those are not encrypted with device keys because obviously you want to recover from loss of device and restore to a brand new one. But if you’re not comfortable with that, you can do local encrypted backups with your own password via iTunes. And as noted the most sensitive data like HealthKit is only included in encrypted backups. White paper also discusses a special escrow service for backing up your keychain, incidentally.
If you see what packages and security updates a host is downloading, you can tell a lot about its role, what the user is doing and what to attack.

Consider the high profile case of sysadmin targeting in the Belgacom case. Hypothetically, GCHQ could then easily fingerprint what versions of apps they are using, and use that information in the plan to target that person.

(HTTPS is still vulnerable to traffic analysis, but a good client can hamper HTTPS traffic analysis using byte range requests and request pipelining/multiplexing.)
This.

I did extensive searching for customer support email solutions. I landed at Front. But, I haven't pulled the trigger yet.

Zen was an easy pass for us, but we arrived at Front because of what they do better than Zen. Consolidation.

But the commonality is that these services always charge more than Todo apps or even chat apps. Even G Suite is cheaper. For some reason Google's team mailbox was a joke. They seem to have every feature of every startup somewhere, but have it suck.

I doubt these guys would be similar in pricing unless they were competing for the same market.

Same with buffer.com. They are a bit pricey too, but they can target businesses that save money with their service. Pockets open immediately when that is part of your value proposition -- cost savings.
As an Angel investor on the Eve project even though I lost my investment, I think that Chris, Robert and the whole team deserve recognition as they changed the whole industry, and now everyone is following them. I am proud to have had the chance to be involved with them!

I thought I was just me that had this inexplicable habit. Glad to hear I'm not the only one.
I would question what signaling effects you think you're actually measuring when you're presenting contrived scenarios for which you already know the answers.

There's a tremendous amount of variability in whether or not the artificial test that's been created actually maps appropriately to what you're trying to assess. It's extremely difficult to do well. There's further variability in the proctoring and posturing in how the assessment is performed, not just the assessment itself.

Almost certainly you've added layers of obfuscation to the thing you actually want to know, unless what you want to know is how good the person is at taking your specific test, which may or may not usefully test anything, and which may or may not be administered in a way that could get useful results even if the test itself is meticulously well-crafted.

If you're intent on, or can't avoid, operating a more traditional looking hiring process, then I'd suggest at least trying this. Even if the assessment is contrived, then use questions that nobody in the room knows the answers to, including yourself. It doesn't relate to the work directly necessarily, but it can at least help mitigate the effects of survivorship bias.
I think the conversation we should have is why we make everything seem so hard. What a bunch of hooey.

In 5th grade everyone talked about how Algebra was hard. When I got to Algebra, it was pretty easy. I was very surprised! Of course my dad had to explain it to me, because my teacher was incapable of explaining it.

10th grade, same thing with calculus. Thank god my dad knew calculus and was patient. Because my teacher did not.

And so on and so on.

One thing I’ve noticed is that nothing humans have invented or discovered is hard. Learning things requires curiosity, a lot of patience, and someone showing you how to get from A to B in small steps. Overwhelmingly, the inventors and discoverers are the people at the bleeding edge of those small steps who find a next step.

Programming is no different. We need to stop infantalizing people. Most humans are incredibly capable. We don’t need programming languages for children. A child can learn Python or JavaScript. You just have to show them that it’s cool. But instead most adults show kids that sports, video games and Netflix are cool. So, c’est la vie.

Today unfortunately we have a culture of “you can’t, it’s hard, it’s not for you, other people do that.” People always refer to “they” when they’re taking about people inventing something. This is good for the rich and easy for the poor. Who is “they”? What if instead of “they” it was “we”?
I had been working on all of this build process for our own grid design. Then in the last month I realized I could move all design decisions to a config file to make it compatible for other people’s design systems.
Depends on definition of "excellent". Usually great engineers tend to live in the most expensive places, because 1) they can afford it 2) there are many companies which offer relocation. So here you just have to pay a big buck (and compete with top tech companies for the talent), so devs can pay for the housing and expensive life, let's say in SFBA.

If you're not looking for stars with Google on their resumes or 5 year SV experience, which is also OK, there are plenty of engineers who can do a great job without Google on their resumes. Maybe little bit slower, maybe not. If you can't find them, your interview process is broken.

If something doesn't work right, it means you're looking inexpensive talent in expensive areas, or exceptional talent in places where you can't find it. You're remote, but talent often is more about geography.

Also, use GitHub (or git-awards.com) for your search. I have pretty popular repos, in the top 100 JS devs for San Francisco, email is specified in profile, but recruiters don't reach. They just don't use this channel. They only know about one site - LinkedIn.
> If BK was the only food option available in my city (and local community supported alternatives outlawed at the state level)

Then the best solution would be to rally support to change the law to allow more food options to operate in your city. Spending time trying to dictate exactly how your one food option should operate its cashier line won't give you nearly as improved a consumer experience as getting a few competitors to open up.

If a group of people have, statistically, higher-than-average recidivism rates, should we be punishing all members of that group? That all but guarantees unfair treatment of individuals even if it makes statistical sense.

Even in your post you go from a statement that amounts to "statistically some groups have a larger number if dangerous individuals" to "black people are more dangerous". The two sentences do not mean the same thing!
It really depends. I tend to use a specialized compression tool if I need to compress once and send/decompress often, but use zstd when I compress / decompress a lot. In my experience, if you have a fix, small amount of time(single digit minutes or less), zstd is the one that will compress to the smallest size. I even often pick `-3` as it is typically a lot faster than `-4` and subsequent, for not a huge difference in resulting size.

In my experience, if compression time is not a factor, for text (non-random letters and numbers), lzip is the best. I recently had to redistribute internally the data from python nltk, and tried to compress/decompress with different tools, this was my result (picked lzip again):

gzip -9 10 m 503 MiB 31 s
zstd -19 29 m 360 MiB 29 s
7za a -si 26 m 348 MiB s
lzip -9 78 m 310 MiB 50 s
lrzip -z -L 9 (ZPAQ) 125 m 253 MiB 95 m
Salt water is buoyant. If you know how to float, it doesn’t take much energy.
Price's law states that the square root of the people in a particular domain do half the work. So if you have 10 devs, basically 3 do half the work. Scale that up to a thousand devs and 31 devs do half the productive work. Now apply that to sales, accounting, etc. It's really amazing that large companies can accomplish anything at all with that kind of mess to manage.
I don't think anyone here on HN thinks that it implies a genetic issue, but rather an issue caused by generations of discrimination and failed attempts to stop the cycle of poverty and crime that plagues many of these communities.

You’re throwing words like “naive” around but you don’t cite a shred of evidence. Apple’s encryption is at the device level, i.e. before it ever leaves the device. If they turned it off for China it would be easily observable and instantly reported everywhere.

By all account iMessage is one of the few end to end encrypted messaging systems that works in China. You are almost right about China’s general stance but, if you actually did some research, you’d see so far they have tolerated Apple.
The community has been saying to use flexbox when you are only working with one axis, but I am not too sure that is true. Grid has adapted so many of flexbox’s rules, browser support seems to be the only differentiator.

The containment pressures in a NuScale reactor are supposedly lower according to slides I found on the IAEA website. The containment is initially vacuum and apparently the initial pressure pulse of a pressure vessel failure will be contained and the steam will rapidly equilibriate.
Which I think illustrates how NN is just nibbling at the edges of the problem. Competition is the real solution. If we could get the same lobbying efforts and grass roots passion behind removing local barriers to entry in the ISP market as there is behind NN, I think we'd be much better off.

Well, you'll notice soon enough, if it does get shipped. So many webpages cause that prompt to pop up, it's kind of ridiculous. Frankly might be a reason for them to hold off on shipping it, it's not user-friendly at all to get that smacked into the face, seemingly at random, with no conception of what will break or what's to gain when blocking it.

One of the most prominent pages that makes that prompt pop up is GitHub.
I hope they lose. There is no legitimate argument against Steam having a good refund policy. Strict refund policies for games came around because people could buy a game, copy the disc, then return it. That is explicitly not possible with Steam, their whole system prevents that kind of abuse and so they should have a much more relaxed return policy than they do now.
Additionally, this extends to the usage of latent or inferred variables that behave as a proxy to a protected class - so neural networks and other discriminative approaches outside of a distinctly diagnosable decision tree, could be in a rather grey area legally if used for credit scores, etc.

It's possible that the upshot of a legal challenge could be a crippling cap on the accuracy of models as they explicitly avoid any information derived from any protected factors.
