For me, life is about projects. Surviving school is a project. Learning how to ride a motorcycle is a project. Having a marriage is a project. Having a baby with someone is a project. Getting a job is a project. Each job is a project. Learning to handle firearms is a project. Starting a company is a project. Building a cabin is a project. Writing a book is a project. Learning to bake sourdough is a project. Practicing yoga is a project. Everything worth doing is a project.

In the course of projects you have social experiences, form relationships, make money, fail, succeed, etc. You live an interesting life and evolve as a person in unexpected ways.

You can't just sit isolated in a room and expect to enjoy life. You have to find projects to do on your own and projects to do with other people. And, if you're lucky, you do some projects that benefit a lot of other people.
Can traditional languages like C, C++ and even Object Pascal support reactive programming? Or this is only implementable in functional languages?
Wow, that’s pretty serious, thank you for pointing it out!
Yes, it’s understandable, particularly if side projects are not important to you at the moment. But it still reflects poorly on the company (from my standpoint).

As an aside (while it’s the de facto standard) my understanding was that it’s illegal in Japan to restrict your work outside of company time. If anyone has a good reference for this, it would be welcome.
Why do people do all of the research only to put it behind some super annoying "design"? I couldn't stand it and gave up.

Scrolling doesn't work right. Ok, I'll just page down. But it's just slightly off, so I page down halfway into a page, and have to re-align. Then I page down halfway into an animation-dissolve between two sets of text.

STOP IT!

What's the point of all this? Are you trying to communicate? If so, then stop slapping me in the face while I'm reading.
How much power exactly? Or do they own some special shares that don't need majority to rule?
The site doesnt really explain what they did....
I remember mt. gox very well. They started having withdrawal delays, and then halted withdrawals of BTC as well as USD altogether, precisely because keeping withdrawals open would have been so expensive as to be impossible. I'm saying Bitfinex has no magic way around that, either.
Then ask the users from which page they came from, I'm sure they'll be happy to do that so that they can know about those great products.

A VPN can also be useful for security -- for instance, if you're on an unencrypted wifi and someone wants to sniff your packets. Or if you're in countries such as the UK or china and want to circumvent censorship.
It is just what emerges, because people need a stable high-liquidity currency, for things like an intermediary for trading between lower liquidity currencies, and as a lower-volatility store of value.

The editors for the implant page are extra picky. We certainly had a lot of problems even introducing simple edits - and any mention of root analogue implants (not naming BioImplant) was an insurmountable issue.

I think the reason is that there are too many implant companies, so competition is fierce. The editors are rightly suspicious of product placement or promotion. However, where there is legitimate innovation in an otherwise stultified field, it's important to draw attention to new developments. Perhaps it's time to try again for an entry!
Interesting article. I get why Thiel would be of interest to a small nation, but it's interesting to me the stigma he has in the US, especially among the tech community.

Even the title is invoking Citizen Kane which is not alltogether flattering. You compare him to Musk or Bezos (who are darlings) and he's not that different and probably has a smaller impact among the three. Bezos is actually owning his own newspaper now, he continues to gobble up industries, he's got god knows how many houses spread around. Musk has been taking government money and overpromising and delaying projects for two decades now.

They're all from the same wave of tech, similar connections (Musk and Thiel doubly and obviously so), but Musk is Tony Stark, Bezos is Swole Bezos and in this article Thiel is described as a Bond villain. Are they really that different?

Is the politics where the dislike comes from, or is it something else?

After seeing comments around the Internet on the article, one thing I wanted to add is this:

The question is not whether Intel would accept a settlement of documentation instead of money, or whether Spectre/Meltdown are bugs or not.

The question is whether /you/ would offer an exchange of documentation for release of liability. Whether or not the maker accepts the offer is orthogonal to whether you are willing to take the first step in breaking the vicious cycles that keeps hardware closed.

If you're not willing to give any allowance for the fact that sharing documentation exposes makers to more liability, then stop demanding transparency. Nobody should be obligated to put themselves in harm's way solely for your benefit or as intellectual entertainment. Likewise, learn to live with proprietary drivers, undocumented bugs, backdoors, and potential exploits hidden in your hardware, because without a transparency compromise, none of these problems will have a sustainable solution.
> its a design compromise.

ALL design is compromise. The options available for this design are a) stop the entire screen below the sensors b) extend the screen around the sensors or c) remove the sensors.

A gives you less overall screen space, and leads to other problems like an imbalance between the ‘chin’ and ‘forehead’ areas. Of course you could remove even more screen sapce to balance that out, but...

C means you have no Face ID, which is closer to giving up than compromising.

B is obviously the option they went with, and having used the phone for several months, I’d have to say I agree with this compromise. I get some extra screen space by moving the status stuff up in to the ‘ears’ and I still get faceID.
I don't want any of the "benefits" for the price they're forced to me. That's the whole point.

Good work, if you can model the system always easier to control it, just often it is too hard to model in real life.

Also sorry, I should have said Q=mcdelta(t) in my post.
You're right that if their cash decreased their PE would go down, all else equal. But if they used it to fund a promising venture that would likely increase their future earnings more than clipping coupons on the equivalent in t-bills or whatever their cash is sitting in, then their price would probably go up. And so the fact that they allow so much cash to build up might drag down their P/E relative to other companies, counterintuitively.

Is that a serious question? You're genuinely wondering why a man who expressed support for one of the most antithetical figures to the values expressed by the tech community is generally disliked by the tech community?

Thiel claims to hold libertarian opinions, but how do you square that with fascism?
Ridiculously expensive for only a marginal improvement, and then people still have their hard wetware limits of concentration and reaction time. Machines have orders of magnitude better reaction time, are always 100% focused, and on aggregate, are much cheaper to teach.

To be clear, there is no firm evidence of the ancient Greeks’ purported voyages. There are no known physical remains of these historic Greek settlements in North America, nor are there first-hand descriptions of such journeys in anything but one account from antiquity.
When I used Braintree a few years ago, before it was acquired by PayPal and before Stripe launched in the UK, Adyen handled Braintree's merchant accounts (in Europe, at least). I'd never heard of them before (or since). I remember the signup/KYC process as being a massive pain, as we needed to do KYC with Adyen as well as Braintree. It took weeks. A few years later when Stripe launched in the UK I was totally blown away by how simple and quick it was to sign up.
Jio Money. Bangalore, India. Many Positions. Full time.
The problem scope is large, complex and fascinating problem to crack.

The potential to bring banking to 600 million un/underbanked Indians is what excited me to work on this.

In this iteration I am looking to hire Backend developers (Java), data platform engineers and project managers who will work of Bangalore, India.

We are open to hiring people from around the world but they will need to work out of Bangalore.

Looking for full time and in exceptional cases, consultants, welcome.

If you are interested, please email me at google's email service - takenottie.

On a side note and for the readers outside India : It also helps to note that Jio, which is our cellular telephony play, now is the world's largest cellular data network (pumping ~30,000 TB per day). We now have 165 million subscribers (in about a year). In addition to our 4G network, we recently launched our 25$ feature phone which has 4G and NFC on it, to create the largest NFC ecosystem in the country.
Your real identity isn't in the blockchain. You can only be identified if the identity of whoever you bought from is known, they know your identity, and they can be induced to share it, or if the transaction can be identified and you can be tracked from the transaction.

"Machine learning is the focal point for a new NFL initiative called NextGen Stats, which is replacing the NFL’s existing player-tracking system. Powered by cloud provider Amazon Web Services (AWS), NextGen Stats will track all basic stats like touchdowns, interceptions, yards rushing, passing yards, tackles and fumbles, but it will also manufacture a new collection of stats such as real-time location, speed, and acceleration data. The data is analyzed on AWS and used to contextualize movement on the field and displayed as a new experience for fans to see on NFL Media properties, game broadcasts, third-party digital platforms, and in-venue displays. These new stats will also be available to players and coaches."

So when an ML algorithm spits out something that goes against the prevailing ideologies, it's most likely the fact in the data.

You seem to have missed the subtlety in the author's treatment of this subject. His point is exactly that the data is not necessarily "good". It's biased because we are biased [1], and you have to be aware of that when interpreting results. It's the data that needs to be questioned.

[1] if three white teenagers are arrested for a crime, not only are news media much less likely to show their mug shots, but they’re less likely to refer to them as “white teenagers.”
I think your either over complicating the requirements or under estimating how long it takes to throw together a system with half a dozen tables and a a dozen views/forms. Or underestimating just how far you can get with such a simple system. Then you've got something tailored to your workflow.

>> As I write this, I’m going to use the terms “artificial intelligence” (AI) and “machine learning” (ML) more or less interchangeably. There’s a stupid reason these terms mean almost the same thing: it’s that “artificial intelligence” has historically been defined as “whatever computers can’t do yet.” For years, people argued that it would take true artificial intelligence to play chess, or simulate conversations, or recognize images; every time one of those things actually happened, the goalposts got moved. The phrase “artificial intelligence” was just too frightening: it cut too close, perhaps, to the way we define ourselves, and what makes us different as humans. So at some point, professionals started using the term “machine learning” to avoid the entire conversation, and it stuck. But it never really stuck, and if I only talked about “machine learning” I’d sound strangely mechanical — because even professionals talk about AI all the time.

That's a typically unhistorical explanation of the relationship between machine learning and AI, which is really quite simple: machine learning is a field in the broader reseach subject of AI. "Professionals" did not "at some point" start using machine learning instead of AI. The field got a name when it solidified into a field, just like Natural Language Processing did, or Machine Vision.

In fact, to use "machine learning" as a byword for "AI" is not different than using "NLP" or "Machine Vision" as a byword for AI. It is that wrong and makes it that evident that the person using the terms doesn't really understand where they come from.

Yes? The tech community expresses lots of contradictory values and actions. I don't think that tech people should value monopolizing and proprietary companies but they do.

The tech industry is contradictory, like Thiel. That's why I asked.
Thanks for the feedback. I will work on showing the search box on sub-pages, too. The current idea is that once you select the first "Feature" the rest in the sidebar are the only once you can use to narrow down the search.
I would say that depends on the power and trust that the org puts into that role, as well as how the company is structured.

Speaking from my own anecdotal experience, at my job, we have a spaghetti like org structure, where you may belong to one specific group and do your actual work with a different team.
It's structured pretty similarly to Spotify, at least on the engineering side.

So if a person on my team is working for or with a different department or team, and the project manager let's me know they're not working out, it's within my discretion to move them off the team and find a better fit, or rarely, if it's a repeated problem and they cause more havoc than order, to let them go.

I like to think it allows a layer of protection for both the employee and the team, as not everyone will always work on every team, but they may be able to bring real value to the company as a whole.
> When a human is intervening every 1 1,000 miles do we really know how machine driven fatalities compare to human driven fatalities?

Do you think remote drivers can intervene so fast as to prevent a crash? I think it's only useful when the car is blocked in traffic in an unusual situation, such as when something happened to the road, or there is a protest, or something like that. SDC's should be able to stop on their own when a dangerous situation appears.
It’s a shitty time to be a landlord though, one without deep pockets anyway: I just have a home that I bought years ago that when I got married a year later thought I’d supplement my new family’s income with some rent. Nothing major since I have a mortgage and a high interest rate and all that. But it was fine. I treated my tenants well, came rushing in to fix anything, didn’t charge late fees, etc. then the Portland city council run by a woman who has never owned a home passes an ordinance that makes it nigh to impossible to raise rents (caps them at 10%) and even if someone is on a month to month lease they get 90 days notice (totally cool with that) and a stipend to pay for their next place between 1800 and almost 5 grand based on length of stay. (Not cool!).
This has been a source of great frustration.

There are many implant companies, all vying for attention. It's difficult to fight through all the noise. The top academic journals are another barrier: their main concern appears to be to maintain the status quo.

Popular science journalists didn't express any interest when we approached them. I was very surprised by this!

Lastly - and probably most importantly - the company really needs to get a decent PR person on board!
I get that we waste a ton of electricity on Proof of Work for cryptocoins.... lots are working towards moving away from that. But we still rip holes in the earth and risk lives to search for gold as well.... which also has a very real environmental cost.
Why would they be paying more? As GP states, the fees can be quite a bit lower, but they vary by card type.
The article is good, I agree.

The line you quoted is not specific to AI/ML, it's the fundamental rule of programming (and why I absolutely love it as a tool for understanding) - the machine is the ultimate bullshit antagonist. You can't handwave away your lack of understanding of a problem, like you can do with people. And the process of trying to code a problem (e.g. for a simulation) forces you to learn just about everything you don't yet comprehend about it.

Together they control over 50% of the voting power. They both own substantial amounts of Class B shares, which aren't available to the public and carry 10 votes per share.
The GKE reference is a lot more relevant than you think, it's just a bit deeper below the surface.

Google's relationship with k8s and GKE and in particular their motivation for creating an open-source orchestration service is well documented and frequently retold, but ironically appears to not be well-understood.

With any sufficiently complex compute solution, you're going to need both a platform and some sort of management. Typically vendors sell you their management service (for which you often pay a recurring fee) by locking you into a proprietary platform. What's more, the management service can be dismal but you'll pay anyway because your app is built on their platform. It happens everywhere, the industry is full of examples, and anyone could see that it was going to hit Cloud sooner rather than later. And the result would be ... bad ... for everyone (customers and providers alike) but the dominant platform.

So Google took an exceptionally gutsy gamble. Google excels at platform management. They invented SRE. They posited that in a level playing field, all else being equal, Google would have the best platform management service, and people would pay for it based on its merits alone.

By making k8s open source, they leveled the playing field. It was by far the best tool for the job, and everybody could have it at no cost; neither money nor burden. So there was no business model or justification for building a lock-in sub-par alternative. The platform became a commodity; nobody could own it.

Which is where we are now, and what this article depicts. You still need a management strategy, k8s doesn't change that. But now everyone's management service has to compete on its own merits. Nobody gets to play the lock-in game.

Google's management service is GKE. It's good, but not because Google started Kubernetes. Rather, Google started Kubernetes because Google has the expertise and experience to make GKE good.
Nope. That's Patterson.
They want to know reasons why a user would want to keep the referrer, not the asshole that is tracking them.

There is a demo video where someone dials out on a VoIP line @ 300 baud using Bell103 modulation. Apparently most modems, when they sense the carrier for that modulation, will skip negotiation and go right into 300 baud mode.

The aggressive compression on the VoIP line and lack of compression does cause problems.
