This seems useful, and I get the value. I'm wondering how you balance exactly how much time to allot? Do you try to come up with an average estimate of time needed and then like 2x that to reduce time anxiety?

If I understand correctly, the reason a CNN is used here is because we want to find the splits that a human would visually agree "looks" the best?

So rather than a regression it's more like the "line simplification" problem in graphics: (https://bost.ocks.org/mike/simplify/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramer%E2%80%93Douglas%E2%80%93...)

Just thought this solution seems a little overkill. Surely you can pick some error metric over the splits to optimize instead?
I know when someone comes from C family language, he/she is not able to understand JS first but the person who knows JavaScript programming will never write like this. Actually JavaScript has few concepts those are much different compare to C family language like prototype and pure function which are superb. Even C family languages developer are now thinking to add few concepts from JS language.

Wow, what an unfortunate name. I'm not even American and I recognized the problem immediately.

I'm sure I've heard the slur used in movies (Forrest Gump, maybe?)

After reading parts of the thread, I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they didn't know the connotations of the name. Yet, they will save themselves a lot of trouble if they just rename the project.

Trying to defend the name on the grounds that they didn't know and that it is a slur that fell out of fashion in the 70's will not help them.

Even if it is the best tool of its kind, I still wouldn't want to use it with a name like that, if just to avoid embarrassment when talking to my colleagues.
Not for a moment. They give no numbers on false positives, and I imagine it’s astronomical.

If anything, I can see human moderators having to do more work to restore falsely flagged content than they currently have to do in removing content - but humans are lazy, so instead we’ll just see content going in the “extremism” bin, along with a mandatory report to the government, and people being taken to court for spreading extremist content, which is actually cat videos.

It’s a Kafkaesque nightmare in the making.
This sounds like the swedish product "swish" which is immensely popular. Nobody does bank transfers between people, everybody transfers to your mobile number. So far I think there are no fees for personal use, either, although they said it would come later a few years ago. Transfers are of course instant and you can see the recipients name before you send the money, which is a great pro compared to a bank transfer to an opaque number.
Are you kidding? Your preferred candidate doesn't win and suddenly the system is rigged?

>2. All good ways of talking must be consistent with one another and with the world.

It is difficult to legally define an assault weapon when you still want to allow hunting rifles, and manufacturers are looking for any loophole. Congress did a fairly reasonable job in 1994 under the circumstances. There is a reason armies go to war with assault rifles and not hunting rifles. Intermediate cartridge, pistol grip, large box magazine, and in some cases collapsable stock make a weapon adequately accurate at medium range, handy enough in close quarters, and able to deliver a large volume of fire. These weapons are useful for two things: looking cool and killing people.

The masses generally follow whatever is trendy. People initially followed facebook, and when Whatsapp and Instagram came, they followed them. FB is going through it's natural life cycle, and we will see it desperately trying to survive as it's stats get negative and shares dwindle.

This is problem with any service where users care about userbase. For netflix, userbase is not a concern for users. Hence such services are more likely to survive long term, as long as they keep themselves relevant.

FB, Whatsapp and Instagram however, are destined to die very soon(I'd bet a lifecycle of 2 decades). Users are eventually going to move on.

I agree in general, but I'd also love to see those published as actual beautiful papers, not just ugly formatted websites. (Okay, the website in case isn't that bad. At least it's clearly structured and readable.)

I think we are (in 2018) rubbing up against the link limitations of our current democratic systems, or maybe republic systems.

Our current democracies generally meet the 19th century definitions of liberalism, in that the people select the government. But I think that in the modern mind, democratic systems (eg the elected people) are supposed to conduct the pure will of the people. We don't really like the idea of representative democracy, where representatives have minds (and interests) of their own. It doesn't help that democratic political systems are very mature, with well established and understood political dynamics (parties, etc.) driving most things.

Imo, what people have in mind as a genuinely democratic system is more like direct democracy. Frighteningly, we still have strong modernist mentalities when it comes to politics. Most people argue from abstract justice, and assume efficacy (if they consider it at all) to be a byproduct of justice. IE if the system directly conducted the will of the people, stuff would also work better.

Realistically, we have the technology now for direct democracy but almost no experience with it. I suspect we'll see attempts made in the next couple of decades.

Anyway... I wonder if the Economist is influenced by the same sentiments, and have altered their view of what democracy is (or should be, idealistically).
I wasn't in the room when it happened, but I was probably among the first dozen or so to hear the name -- and it was presented to me as both at once: "ZFS" was both "the last word in filesystems" and (conveniently) a zettabyte.

Jesus, that woman is one of the reasons why I've become so cynical about politics. It's just about scoring points now.

What that article should say is"woman chooses to be disruptive at public hearing, gets kicked out."

If I decide to a public hearing and play rap music really loud as a protest and I get kicked out, it doesn't mean the system is broken. It actually means it works.
Thankyou! Any person using the site to hire candidates can set whatever time limit they like.

When I'm choosing a time I'm actually less worried about the complexity of the exercise than how much of a candidate's time it's reasonable to ask for. If the challenge is too complex to be done in 40 minutes or so, I make it less complex.

I also put language in the intro text like 'If you don't end up with a complete solution in that time, that's fine, just submit it anyway. We don't expect this to be enough time to write "The Most Perfect Thing".'

N is definitely violating EU laws. It handles data of EU citizens without their consent. The EU could stop the cash flow from C to N.

It just seems absurd that it should be so complicated and expensive to build a system which on a basic level is just about maintaining a large table of numbers (the ledger of bank account balances) and doing simple arithmetic on it. And I say this as someone who develops banking systems for a living.

I think/hope the banking and financial sector in the future will be much more lean and optimized, both in terms of systems and management.
I think the whole of concept of “brand advertising” is fundamentally flawed. A brand is a set of values that is delivered consistently and repeatedly. You can’t build a brand by showing pictures of happy people (or whatever else) with a nice copy. People just don’t care and won’t listen.

PS: I’m not referring to actionable ads, but mere advertising to boost brand awareness etc

> Most of the problems with the modern web stem from the failure of browser vendors to implement a good user-centric permissions model.

I suggest that such creating a proper permission model isn't possible, because it isn't possible to determine the behavior of Turing complete programs without running them[1]. Browsers are currently chasing the impossible[2] goal of trying to enumerate badness - often only the known types of badness that fit their permission model.

> I want a simple, limited, fast, secure, document-centric platform

We had that: HTML, before Javascript. Allowing any Turing complete code to run at all will always be risky[3].

It all sounds dubious, and amounts to "It depends which model you use", which isn't necessarily a profound insight - although if you're used to confusing models with reality, it might be.

We simply have no model for consciousness. We have absolutely no idea what it is.

It isn't even worth getting started with dualism vs materialism when both are - ultimately - constructs created inside, and possibly by, the thing/experience/whatever we're trying to describe.

That’s missing the point. With proportional representation you often get representatives in government even if the party you wanted to ‘win’ didn’t. You get a government that has to work with alternative views and represents a greater portion of the country’s voters.
Right, but engineers probably are going to have some level of conviction and judgement when it comes to something they helped build. They're personally invested in a feature they've worked on.

If I was an engineer at Apple who worked on iMessage, and I heard acquaintances talk about the bugginess about iMessage, I would probably start out being defensive but then I would regret that we didn't ship a better product.

I think an EPM is less likely to feel like that, as they are not so closely tied to the actual product, which is what the Reddit poster was saying.

So you send down some headers in your response which tells the proxy server resources it should push. Pretty elegant, and fails gracefully. I believe this is the same mechanism as other http2 servers.

EU promised not to meddle as long as preferential treatment wasn't given. As in if Ireland gave the exact same tax deal to every company in Ireland then it would have been fine.

All of which may be true - in the sense that perhaps there is a "self quale" whose purpose is to represent a simplified model of the important elements of internal state.

I'd suggest it's impossible to be conscious without being conscious of something, whether that something is an external event, a physical sensation, an emotional state, a desire, a memory, a plan, or an abstract thought.

In practice consciousness flits between all of these things, like an inner cursor.

But that does nothing to explain the sensation of consciousness - the simultaneous experience of being both subject and object.

It's the gap between "Maybe this very metaphorical explanation helps" and the lived sensation that appears to be unbridgeable, and makes the hard problem so hard.

I do like to have local branches which sometimes serve as feature branches.

It's like Moody's. More political than educational. Downgrading the US may be fair, but the main purpose it serves is driving clicks. More to the point, the fact they downgraded the US shouldn't tell the average HN reader anything they don't already know. Contrast to say, S&P.

Distribution rights for huge back catalogs were sold to third party local to a given country/region distributors long ago. There's a lot of entropy there, and each has exclusivity to control distribution for the given region.

It's not that easy to work away from. Which is why Netflix has been paying more to create or co-create content (most Netflix content isn't world-wide exclusive it seems).
From that it looks like production is 130 exabytes for Seagate and Western Digital combined. Using the default block size on ZFS the limit is 128 * 1024 * 2^64 = 2 zettabytes. Even allowing for other manufacturers it's an order of magnitude more than global annual production.
