Exactly. As was communism for that matter. Ultimately almost all major economic change had technology at its root. And where that change has undesirable side effects it's the job of government to address them.
Do some research into government contracting and you will realize that companies like Oracle are tame compared to many of the straight up scams being pulled.

You will see countless examples of companies with no assets, no employees, virtual offices, etc, pulling down multi-million contracts.
The Canadian government attempted to build a gun registry, originally predicting it to cost $12M, then $85M, then $1000M, then $2000M, and then it was scrapped. While it's easy to blame vendors like IBM, I have to imagine feature-creep and "what about"-isms lead to such monstrosities.
There's also a fair amount of hubris in assuming that assuming that you know the market better than the market leader.

They're killing it for a reason, and it just may be that the market they're targeting cares more about the app Just Working than about the RAM consumption.
The law seems to take a dim view of sophisticated investors who pretty clearly could have trivially found something fishy and instead chose not to look. Deliberate ignorance apparently gets clawbacks.

Thats coz, You sign a waiver as part of your "1 week intensive keeping secrets bootcamp + orientation" that Thou shalt not blog about anything while you are employed at Apple. That means anything. Infact there is a very stringent policy on what is acceptable and not kosher when it comes to posting on social media. Thats why you dont see anything from Apple employees. Not that they didnt buy in to the Steve Jobs Think Different, Your work is so much more important than yourself Koolaid. Its just that posting anything without approvals can be a career limiting move. Source- Have a couple of friends working on Hardware side and one working Frameworks test group.
My school had a two year course on programming in C\C++; fairly basic, being an introduction to programming itself. At that time, I didn't own a computer, and to use the computers in the lab you needed to wait an extra hour and arrange for your own transportation (the normal hours had buses). You could also use some time off your lunch breaks, but that wasn't clearly enough for trial and error. So I got into the habit of writing programs on paper first, walking through them with arbitrary values assigned to variables, and entering it during my lunch break, hoping for a very small number of errors which I could hopefully fix on the spot.

I think that practice heavily and positively influenced how I code and read other people's codes.
The way this article was written was really weasely.

Thanks! David put a lot of effort into making the config really intuitive so he'll be pleased to hear that.
The UAC is once for the installer and once for the app since it requires admin privileges to apply the block.
Saying that you 'tolerate' remote workers is a pretty big red flag. You may wish to change the wording or just eliminate remote as an option if all you'll do is tolerate them.
I use it on channels where the admin doesn't enable irc access.

I was actually sort of poking fun at the apparent intent of your comment.

But whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Those that are okay, with this are 'temporarily embarrassed millionaires' who don't have millions yet. Fact, remains only people that love capitalism are capitalists themselves. for the rest of us we're doomed, if we don't embrace BI, Unions and a massive welfare state. Also full 100% inheritance tax.

I was relieved to see this line: "He goes on to point out that most computer science students transition directly from graduate school to an industry job, as opposed to a teaching position, because of the stark contrast in employment incentives and opportunities."

Ok, good, we don't have to have the discussion about why it makes no sense to discuss a shortage without discussing pay, career stability, and working conditions.

One possible suggestion - why not start hiring people with academic MS degrees? I know this is an anathema in many academic circles, but I really do think that the PhD + post doc has become "normal" mainly because of a saturated academic job market. Law professors often have 3 year JDs. Are they dumber than PhD professors? There's no reason you can't grow into a research job as you do it. There's no reason you have to be an underpaid postdoc prior to become a paid member of a tenure track series.

Here's an idea - leverage the concept of a librarian series. Librarians are often considered faculty, with a masters degree, who can have primary investigator status under many conditions, tenure, sabbaticals. If the problem is getting enough educators, why not hire the MS in CS or related fields to mainly teach with enough autonomy to engage in research. Keep in mind, we'd still be requiring an academic MS with thesis.

I'm skeptical of this "factor of 5" claim, but if things really are as bad as they seem, then that's good! Maybe we can start requiring the credentials that are actually required, rather than credentials that are part of an arms race in an excessively crowded and saturated field.

Tell HN: Our renovation on a budget
We're a small software firm based in Cambridge. In 2016, we moved into a 4100 sf space in Central Square. The landlord gave us a a renovation budget (aka tenant improvement allowance, or "TI"). When we did this, we were just four tech people with little operational experience, so this process taught us a lot. Some lessons to share:

1. Our budget didn't go nearly as far as I thought it would. The landlord gave us $38/ft for a 4100 sq ft space. After talking to architecture firms, I learned we would need twice as much to make it worth their time.

2. Moving in pre-renovation was the smartest thing we did. We negotiated our lease to allow us to occupy immediately, stay throughout the renovation, and pay half-rent for the first six months. This time spent working together made our design better.

3. Don't assume your urban office has good network access. When we moved in, the building only had DSL. It took Comcast three months to deliver a copper drop. Luckily, a local ISP got us a microwave link in two weeks.

4. Bathrooms are underrated. Your money can go much further in a 60 sq ft bathroom than in a 1000 sq ft work floor, and people will thank you for it.

5. A/C: Lots to think about here. Did the space have ample cooling power? Would we have a server room, and did that room have its own thermostat/HVAC zone? Would we need A/C outside normal business hours? We got lucky on HVAC: The building has independent systems for each tenant, so we didn't have to pay the high nighttime fees.

6. Carpet isn't evil. I was afraid carpet would make the space look dated. But as time went on, it became clear that carpet was the right choice for flooring. It's great at sound insulation, and it conceals imperfections in the floor that would otherwise look atrocious underneath a reflective surface like vinyl or wood.

I have a lot more info to share that I couldn't here due to the character limit. Just ask.
Or you can just say "false negative", and every CS major will understand you.

I find people in Math and CS have often very different names for the same type of concepts and they could easy understand each other if they stuck to the more common terms.

In this case, saying: TYPE 2 ERROR, makes you look like you are trying too hard.
I don't think dazc was being snarky with his comment. I took it genuinely as thanks. Perhaps I'm being naive ;)
15 mentions of "open source" in the blog post and 12 more in the "Opening X-Pack" page, ignoring the other mentions of "open".
Six episodes for the entire Discworld? I fear the worst.
Non sequitur. Capitalism requires some income inequality, but runaway income inequality will not be beneficial. Eventually, people get sick of eating rotten cabbage and the guillotines come out.

Side note: "most free nation ever" is a total fiction as part of American exceptionalism. For just one example out of many, there are still religious blue laws on the books in towns across the country, and many are still enforced.
Apologies for the late response, though I've been thinking this over.

I'll stand by my earlier comment: read the classic economists themselves, directly, if at all possible. Smith, Malthus, Ricardo, Marx, Mill (both John Stuart and David), Carlisle, Toynbee, Marshall.

You don't need to read all of them or the works in full, but each of these addresses at least in some depth and detail the question of goods and their pricing behaviours, in ways that are not generally addressed today.

There are overviews and histories of economic thought and its development which should be useful. I've read Heilbroner (The Worldly Philosophers) and Backhouse (The Ordinary Business of Life), both of which provide a broad overview. Ha-Joon Chang has Economics: The User's Guide, which is a pretty good overview of various schools of thought.

I'm particularly impressed currently by Steve Keen, whose most recent book is Debunking Economics. He's been developing his ideas at a rapid pace and to an extent has overrun what's in the book. He's good to watch though.

John Kenneth Galbraith tends generally to discuss economics more-or-less in the terms I've been mentioning here, with The Affluent Society and Age of Uncertainty probably being good starting points.

I'm not much impressed by and generally strongly discount most Libertarian thinking, though if you'd like a sense of what I consider to be bad/poor economic theory, Howard Hazlitt's Economics in One Lesson and Murray Rothbard's Libertarian Manifesto might be considerations.

Hope that helps.

quick correction, Canada still has a gun registry for handguns. In one of the several elections that they won, the Harper Conservatives campaigned on removing the long gun registry (rifles and shotguns). Which they successfully did, putting hundreds of federal employees out of work in a small town part of New Brunswick. The political outcry from these unemployed people and the economic impact sent them on a new trip back to the pork barrel, centralizing all of the Phoenix payroll system clerical operations in... you guessed it... the same small town part of New Brunswick.

If you are willing to do the work, Frank Harrell's Regression Modeling Strategies is a pretty good introduction to a lot of this.

It's written for a very different set of problems than typical ML, but it has lots of really good advice for practical problems in data analysis and prediction (which is another term for ML).

Mostly people learn this stuff by experience. Find a dataset, choose a predictor, filter, clean and massage your data till you get better metrics/understanding (preferably both). Rinse, repeat on many different datasets and problems, and you'll know how to do this.
I'm sorry. It's not fair to the sane people in the UK that this Brexit nonsense is happening.
Hey it's one of the two hard things, right? Alongside cache invalidation and off by one errors.
Meritocracy in the U.S. is a myth in civilian life. The military almost approximates meritocracy but it is by design not egalitarian or democratic. Without extreme discipline, again found in militarism, meritocracy results in the formation of elites who define what the metrics are for merit, they quickly become corrupt with nepotism, lowering the ladder for family and friends to the exclusion of people with actual merit, and it becomes incompetent.

Amazon's HQ2 Contenders: By the Numbers
That sounds like a good plan if you have good insurance, but it doesn't sound like a sustainable way to improve health care service to a wider population. Doctors are a scarce resource, and having the doctor drive around to each patient's house is not a very good use of their time.

At my Doctor's office, the doctors are scheduled for 15 minute appointments. at an optimistic assumption of 15 minutes travel time to and from each appointment, a model where the doctor visits each patient requires 3x as many doctors for the same level of care.
You often do though. For example if you want to do open source development on JS projects, this means that you might have to learn many different build systems.
I created and launched a job board specifically for people like you last year. http://www.visaok.in

You can find jobs by Country / Work Visa. These are employers who promise to pay for and get you a work visa. As an American, you'll find that you have a lot less restrictions and requirements for working overseas on a work visa / resident permit.

From the listings and data, I found that Germany, Netherlands, UK / Great Britain (to an extend) and Denmark in Europe have the easiest to obtain work visa programs. Many also have 'Startup Visa' programs that lets the employer bring in an overseas engineer / tech worker on that Visa.

Lastly, I've done tons of research and published 'Visa Guides' for various countries.

http://www.visaok.in/work-permit/blog/

These guides details the requirements, fees, and application portal links and forms.

Let me know if you (or anyone else) has feedback on what I can do to better help you.
