I was a math + physics major in college, and it was more than 3 decades ago, so take this with appropriate grains of salt. What I would have called high level math in the curriculum that I studied, wasn't so much about specific topics, but about the sophistication and creativity of your approach.

The engineering / science math was pretty much a matter of looking at the problem, guessing its "form," and applying a known technique based on that form. For instance, "this looks like integration by parts." Eventually you'll be shoved out into the world where there are problems for which there is no known solution, and you have to create your own techniques.

The more advanced courses did two things. First, they set aside problems and advanced towards proofs. This is really where math came alive for me. Proofs are so much more varied that you have to abandon the security of a bag full of known tricks. The other thing is that the derivations get longer, so you have to develop a longer train of thought, if you will.

Courses that were higher-level were like:

abstract algebra

complex analysis

real analysis

topology

I don't know what new goodies there are, but I'd love to dive back into it again.
My estate was turned around, and I was lucky enough to live in the estate, not on it. I got to know some of the original residents(and still do).

Asking as someone mostly ignorant of estate housing: what does this distinction imply/represent?

> If this was thrust upon her, I might feel different.

While it’s not thrust upon her in the sense that someone held a gun to her head to force a ticket purchase, her options are severely limited due to state’s monopoly on lottery business. If some entity (including another state) came up with an anonymous lottery system to serve such market, most likely she would not be able to legally purchase such tickets in her home state.
Kids are hilariously cynical at times because they haven't figured out how to say stuff nicely very often. My 9 year old cousin will say stuff that I would never say because he is saying it as it is, not as an adult would say it.
>The first question would be: is sexism okay if nobody minds? The immediate, modern answer has become "No." A zero-tolerance policy is being adopted by most organizations in the world, due to mounting pressure to hold people accountable for unacceptable behavior.

I guess I understand this from the perspective of HR, but I'm actually not sure I'm comfortable with this either.

The thing that separates rape from sex is consent. Arguably, the thing that determines whether any behavior that involves more than one person is okay or isn't is whether all parties consent. Why should a third party come in and decide for them whether behavior they consent to is acceptable?

I don't feel comfortable regulating the behavior of consenting adults. That is too close to violating their human rights.

Again, I get it if you're a company, and may be a large company that has to accommodate a number of people, some of whom might be new and might not be comfortable with these aspects of a company's culture, then it makes sense to regulate behavior for others. But it feels to me like this might bleed into other aspects of life.
Well, since Google Voice blocked at least one of the US tribal community colleges to save Google some money, I cannot say I was ever a fan. It pointed to me a lack of any sense of empathy. I know we talk about Oracle being a lawnmower, but Google has a lot of parts that trend that way.
Nice to see people choose phones that get security updates.

I've had an opportunity to try Nokia 8 and Nokia 3. Basically go for the highest model number that you can afford.

Nokia 8 is very good. No complaints that wouldn't apply to Pixel, too.

Nokia 3 is remarkably good _for its €150 price_ (camera underwhelming, screen blue-tinted and unreliable wifi [at least with November software] compared to flagships, but in Europe unreliable wifi doesn't matter since you can stay on mobile data all the time, so better choose the security updates than a competitor with better wifi).
There is a lot of recent research showing hunter gatherers were not as passive as once thought. Quite a few discoveries of mass graves from attacks on rival tribes and things like this are new in our understanding of ancient peoples. This is a neat find.
It's also artificially high for the same reasons.

I would posit that prices are artificially high in more cases.
The server does not delay sending until the advertising frame is acknowledged. So, for a large push the client might cancel the push, but for small pushes the client will already have received the data before the cancel can reach the server.

In general, if you are only pushing something that is both small and required that isn't a problem, but when using push for things like MPEG-DASH this becomes a point to think about.
Many natural science programs actually have classes in ethics, sometimes mandatory, sometimes as an elective.

The Technical University here in Berlin, Germany, has one of the most respected departments of philosophy in the country. The reason: After WW2, the British mandated that "hard" sciences should never again be taught without ethics.
However that happened in America, land of the greed. If you're from other countries, I think the point still stands.
For anyone curious why Google chose to implement it this way, it's because they're using a bloom filter for the first check. This is much more space efficient than storing the entire list in memory.
While I do like the look of Ektar, when I shoot color film I personally lean more toward slide films like Velvia, but that's a whole different beast. I just love that punchy contrast.
Exactly. And there's still no mobile platform that gives one the same experience as a PC does in terms of separation of OS and hardware, plus the possibility of running a fully open source stack. That's why Sailfish (not fully open, though), Mer, Librem, PostmarketOS, Pyra, Neo900 and many other projects keep trying.
I've been a software engineer for over 12 years and have never had to make a single ethical decision. It's always, here's the spec: build it.

The shocking thing here is that Google sold less than 4.4 million smartphones in a quarter. Why is that? I thought with Google's brand name, they should be selling a good number of them. Don't they have affiliations with carriers? Can people only buy them on their site?
I also like the mindfulness approach of Ellen Langer, who recommends active observation of surroundings, which has a side effect of quieting the mind and providing the same benefits (for me at least) of breathing-focused mindfulness meditation. Almost like a shortcut right to your point B.

"Mindfulness, she tells the medical school audience, is the process of actively noticing new things, relinquishing preconceived mindsets, and then acting on the new observations. Much of the time, she says, our behavior is mindless."

Hey, I just installed and played around with reactionRNN; I hate to be negative (especially to people open sourcing models, kudos!), but your model seems to perform quite poorly. It immediately failed my "easy" smell tests: https://i.imgur.com/FvfuZgy.png, and didn't really work on most of my other tests: "This book sucks" is 0% angry, "I'm going to go home and listen to emo music and cry" is 0% sad, "Check out this hilarious youtube video" is only 26% haha. Your example "He was only 41." is 100% sad, but "He was only 42." is 0% sad. These aren't hand-picked, these are literally things I just typed in. From what I can tell it usually gets anything negative wrong, and usually picks "haha" for the positive ones.

Subjective performance is worse than your included examples. I've been building models my whole career, and what I've learned is most people will take claimed performance at face value until it burns them. It's beneficial to no one if someone comes up with an idea based off your repo description, builds it out, then finds it doesn't work adequately. My advice is to update your examples and test cases, and keep finding ways to improve the model.
For ads I thought Google's usual justification was "some ads are useful."

It will be interesting to see what happens in response to Chrome's new ad blocker. I'm not sure there's that much difference ethically between opt-in and opt-out, but certainly a big practical difference, and it will change the ecosystem.

Imagine the form of this logic applied to politics.

'We don't have any policy positions or visionary goals. Those come from what our voters want'.

Ostensibly, this is what the system is designed to do.
But of one believes elected officials have no agency or accountability, they are fools.

Now politics is different from media, though. Maybe one way is that a media platform is remaining impartial which a politician cannot do. So maybe the OP quote is better targeted at non-social network companies re ads @ google

The most important aspect of such classes is invariably to teach that technical decisions have ethical consequences. Just getting people to think about those would be a big win. Too many people still take a "it's the person that kills, not the gun" to their task of building a better gun.
What would be helpful in this discussion is a report on lottery spending per capita, sorted by income level and other demographics. Currently I'm not finding any out there. I do see a study showing that the average amount spent per person in the US is around $200ish (https://lendedu.com/blog/lottery-study-report/), which doesn't sound completely terrible. However, it is very probable that this number masks widespread differences in spending habits.

I do find it problematic that states lean on a gambling game for revenue that (due to the population distribution of typical lottery players) acts as a defacto regressive tax. There's a side of me thinks this is rather exploitative, particularly with the evidence that lottery advertising is strongest in poor neighborhoods. (https://www.wsj.com/articles/powerbull-the-lottery-loves-pov...)

With the recent emphasis in America of pooling together multiple states and tweaking odds to produce these headline-grabbing 9 figure jackpots, one other complaint: it's pretty clear to me that American lotteries fail to prepare winners for the "consequence" of winning... that is, the huge amount of financial planning and protection (even lifestyle and location changes, I'd say, along with how to handle relationships with people you know), that is necessary for having a public-known 9 figure asset base. Even lotteries that reward 6 or 7 figures may come with some shocks, but leaping to that sort of base is a whole other sort of ball game.

One would wish.

The fact is, self-regulating against market pressures pretty much never happens - coordinating people against their perceived, short-term self-interest is hard. That's the very reason governments exist.
I have another question: Could it be that a dose of that early Atari‘s relaxed attitude towards gender and sex issues could be a positive thing? The way I read the article is that the culture there was of respect, mutual empowerment and a relaxed attitude toward human nature in all its aspects. Maybe by erecting walls between genders the baby was thrown out with the bathwater?

He could've easily purchased a previous gen MBP with magsafe and USB-A, and let the USB-C sort it's self out over time. But hay, had to go with latest/greatest devices with no ports and requiring a bunch of adapters/dongles.

I really hope Apple's "courage" comes to bite them in the ass on this, and they at least bring back one USB-A, 3.5mm headphone jack, and magsafe.
Your example isn't interesting. It's starkly violent and you isolate the builders from the decision that results in violence.

In many scenarios, the people building a thing will also work to push it out into society and inflict consequences less than death. Do you think they should not consider the consequences prior to "disrupting" things? The fact that some other people might not bother to consider the ramifications of their actions isn't an excuse to act irresponsibly.
Second vscode, I am using it for php and js mostly. It has tons of great addons too.
Ex-Nokia employee here - I used to work directly for the CTO of Nokia. It's amazing, but unsurprising, to me the strength of Nokia's phone brand after all these years. There's a lot longer of a story to Nokia's decision not to use Android than most people realize. For example, Intel figured prominently, the Symbian vs. Maemo debate raged internally, discussions with Google were marred by massive cultural differences and arrogance on both sides. I'm surprised no one has written a book.

For what it's worth, Windows Phone was actually an amazing platform for both users and developers, and shows a fundamental rule of technology: There Is No Third Ecosystsm. The most dominant hardware maker (at the time) and software/os maker teamed up with a really great product, but couldn't break the established smartphone duopoly, even though it was only a few years old by that point. I wasn't a Microsoft fan by any stretch (the opposite actually), but even I agreed with the decision at the time, especially after using Windows Phone. First mover advantage is huge, and developers only have so much bandwidth.

Edit: Heh. Apparently someone did write a book. See comments below. Wow.
to get a little deeper, two-part pricing is considered a good-enough optimum to the pricing problem, not the absolute optimum. the base price is high enough to get most people to pay it, but not so high to deter the "cheaper" customers. the incremental part of the pricing is designed to extract as much of the delta between the base price and the customer's willingness-to-pay (their max) as it can.

the absolute optimum to capture maximum consumer surplus would be infinite-part pricing, i.e., charging each customer their maximum willingness-to-pay price. but it's very difficult, if not impossible, to determine that price in an efficient way.

why not three-part (or higher) pricing? because you increase the complexity of the buying decision without enough of a payout.
Most servers just read the preload headers from the backend and use that as a push. That won't work with "HTTP 103 Early Hints" (Since it needs to know what to push before the backend responds), but for now a preload header is a good compromise between ease-of-use and good-enough.
> I avoid ads for two reasons: first that they’re fundamentally biased, manipulative information sources, second that they drain attention, screen space, battery life, etc.

Neither of these points need to be true. Consider if someone had a text ad which said “We made widgets. Click here to see our widgets”. There's nothing manipulative about that, it need not use more than a small amount of network or CPU to deliver, and all but the most extreme members of the no logo camp would tend to agree that there's nothing manipulative about it.
The first part of your post is a great point. Building a startup, like studying hard in college, builds character/skills/talents/networks/knowledge that might be valuable to you in future endeavors.

These traits 1) help soften the downside of "losing" the "startup lottery" (making it non-analogous to the actual lottery in pure mathematical terms). And 2) perhaps also might help explain any measured difference in outcomes between startup founders and lottery winners.

But the "People who are attracted to it..." portion of your post doesn't seem necessarily true and is a pretty harsh/puritan attitude. Do you have any hard empirical data supporting these claims?

Defore testing this claim, and for your own sake, we should investigate parent's original question: do we see a similar pattern with startup "winners"? Because if so, your reasoning here might have disturbing entailments for the entrepreneurial set ;-)
I'm giving a talk in March at LibrePlanet 2018 entited "The Ethics Void". The lack of ethics in CS education is a core component of the talk. I'm neck-deep in my talk research right now, so if you are a, student, educator, or anyone else with thoughts on ethics in CS, I'd love to hear from you:

https://mikegerwitz.com/talks

Unfortunately, the codes of ethics, courses, etc that do exist largely ignore user freedoms (in a software freedom sense) and the host of ethical concerns that come with it. If you have examples that _do_ address those issues, I'd really appreciate hearing about it.

Perhaps the most important reason people are so excited about SpaceX is they are planning to colonize Mars, and are busy working on the BFR to to make it possible. NASA also wants to go to Mars, but their plans are way smaller and they many years behind SpaceX.
Based on your previous submission, what you're asking for is something like a design template for plug ins / extensions. I don't think one exists or at least I couldn't find one. Though any web or app design / wireframing tool can be used to design that. I would look through https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/getstarted and figure out the different parts of an extension / plug in to get started.
If you just want to show how it looks, there is an app called Pencil. It allows you to select different styles, one of them looks very much like a sketch. This prevents viewers to spend time on irrelevant details, as it's very clear that it is a sketch.

Ask HN: Have you successfully done a career do-over, and how did you do it?
I'm not talking about switching professions at some point in your life. More specifically, doing your career over again in the same profession, in order to redeem your past failing career.

Either you got "too comfy" in your job, didn't learn much, then found a very tough time being a good fit for other jobs. Or you simply have stopped being a good hire for other reasons. What did you do to redeem yourself in the eyes of your respective industry?

Yes, Maemo was just a Debian-based distro. They introduced a few changes, but it was largely just another Linux distro. And that's why it was so good.

It doesn't require big efforts, just a bit of sanity choosing components and perhaps mainlining drivers.

> I know this is what they claimed, but this made absolutely no sense. Windows Phone wasn't a closed OS available only to Nokia. Windows Phone would only make them another me-too brand fighting over even fewer scraps,

It makes sense, even if it turned out to be a bad choice: while, yes, they wouldn't have been alone and the committed WinPhone audience was, well, negligible, they wouldn't be playing catchup to established vendors on the platform; they'd be on a more level playing field, and if the platform took off and they managed to be (one of the few) early dominant players on the platform, the rewards could be great.

OTOH, the platform didn't take off, so...

I've also seen the opposite happen as well where endless feedback and getting the "perfect" architecture has almost sunk a few teams. If you take too long building the ivory tower then the market may move past you.

The thing I care about is if it's a deliberate decision made with consideration of the rest of the business of if it's driven by fear/reactionary/habit.

The former usually means that you'll try and budget in time after the crisis to fix it up, the latter tends to spiral into a complete mess that no one wants to touch after a certain amount of time has passed.
Absolutely can relate to this, as a Nokia user pre-Android era. Nokia 1100 was pretty much indestructible. It was love. It was life.

One of the ex-engineers in my team worked for Nokia in Finland and he spoke abt this Finnish concept of _sisu_ and how big of a deal it was.

I think it badly translates in English to 'unbreakable' or 'full of grit'. And he claimed that that pretty much explained the Finnish engineering ethos: Everything built to last forever.
