I would say that indian CV are simply on another level, I have no clear idea why. We're posting positions online, and the openings are often automatically indexed by several job search engines. Maybe this is because indians are just more exposed to online hiring, working abroad and generally simply try to get an interview.

Let me reinstate that also this is not universal. We had very good candidates which didn't inflate the resume, thus my point that I really cannot look at the CV by itself. This is very detrimental for both.

I took "germans" as a stereotypical example here. Thinking back, most qualified applicants anywhere in EU are in a similar ballpark. I would say a small amount of inflation is common, but senior applicants generally match much more closely the qualifications they presented. I didn't have many applications from other eastern countries to say anything else.

I'm also not an HR guy. I just participate in the hiring process when the need arises.
The proposal is to turn all go code into safe points.
Many companies provide household income data (e.g. Acxiom, Epsilon). It's available to anyone who'll pay for it.

There is nothing to suggest Uber "[does] not know if you are poor", they could very easily be buying this data on their users.

It’d be interesting to see an implementation with time-of-flight, the precision of surface mapping could only go up. Even combining an SLR improves resolution [ https://pdfs.semanticscholar.org/192f/708e0470744667f8fc5f41... ]
Charging able-to-pay people more is called "price segmentation" and is quite common... but it usually happens by adding some sort of features at a (much) higher margin rather than by price discrimination on exact same product.

The difference between letting folks opt-in to a more overpriced service versus selecting it for them is huge, because it centralizes all the economic choices in Uber HQ. Uber knows you will pay more, but does it know that you have 5 kids to support with what's left over? Or that your costs come out of a non-profit budget? Or that your need for rides is associated with disastrous new medical expenses? These concerns are built into our tax code, but Uber doesn't have the interest or ability to align with any kind of moral consensus about what "able to pay" should really mean... they just have a lot of insight into what you're willing to pay for rides.

Early on, Uber was championed in some circles as a good example of technology enabling a two sided market to compete with highly centralized industries. Over time, they've stopped being a market, and insisted on becoming a broker that keeps both sides at an information disadvantage. This is a good way to collect rents, not to drive competitive service.
In that case they could let you choose. If you know the trip is always around $60, you'd probably not hand over the risk to uber for a 25% higher fee.

Perhaps, but I doubt it.

As one anecdote, http://proceedings.mlr.press/v81/buolamwini18a/buolamwini18a... reports facial recognition algorithm performance on darker-skinned women up to 30% lower than lighter-skinned men. The preliminary results were reported to Google, IBM, and Facebook. IBM was able to tune its algorithm achieve comparable scoring across all skin hues/genders within a week (according to my notes from the talk). It could be that search on that scale is much harder than facial recognition, and its also that a quick fix would introduce other errors, I'm sure it's an NP-complete problem, yada yada.

But Google and racialized search is not a new issue https://dataprivacylab.org/projects/onlineads/1071-1.pdf.

Yes the society is racist, but then the U.S. enacted the 13th, 14th, 15th and 19th amendments to address extreme racism and gender discrimination. That is, citizens -- responsible engineers and data scientists among them -- can take it as their obligation to confront systemic racism. Yes, Klansmen are racist, Nazis are racist, but we don't have to accept genocide -- we don't even have to accept biased, discriminatory and derogatory internet services either.
While it is weird, the long term effects of this attitude depends entirely on the market. Until there are competitors out there, Uber will keep using this tactic.

But, once they get some sort of monopoly everyone is going to be worse off. Something which is happening right now with Grab's acquisition of Uber.

The anecdote that comes to mind for this phenomenon is the more frequent flyer miles you have the more like you are to get a negative experience such as being bumped from a flight. This is because they know you're invested in their airline and are more likely to come back. A new customer might decide to take a different airline next time.

I mean, CRUD doesn't have to be simple. It can get complexity from the underlying data, or dealing with 100 million users at once, or it having to return results FAST.

Just because you don't have to write some novel algorithm doesn't mean you're not solving hard problems.
Well, if transmission charges factor in losses during transmission, then the generation cost would influence some part of the transmission cost. If generation was an order of magnitude cheaper, then presumably the amount of power lost between the generator and the end user would cost a negligible amount, whereas I would assume it's currently a good chunk of your distribution costs.

You can technically replace any chip on any device with a better, pin- and voltage- compatible chip. But you need soldering equipment easily tens of thousands of dollars.

For example, a Dell desktop I had a while back was the lowest-end SKU, and therefore they left the AGP connector off of the board, even though the BIOS knew about AGP and there were the AGP solder points/vias on the motherboard. Had I had the ability to solder the dozens of points at the same time, I could have added my own AGP slot.
came here to say this.
But for AC, you have both distribution and variable demand. Not sure how easy fusion plants will be able to react to demand. If they're like nuclear plants, you'll need a sizeable amount of peaker capacity as well (not that solar wouldn't need that).
> The only health companies that diagnose are providers. They have been explicitely REJECTING patient-generated data for the longest time because of concerns about poor data.

Patient-generated data, both objective and subjective, is frequently relied on by providers for diagnosis (and always has been); where available, provider-collected data is preferred and more heavily weighted in the event of direct contradiction, but providers simply have no practical choice but to rely on patient-generated data.

> Even claims data sent to insurance companies are known to be fudged/imprecise/incorrect and aren't relied on for clinical decision.

Well, yeah, since the provider making the clinical decision provides that data after the fact, of course they aren't going to rely on it. Even if it was perfectly accurate, they would use their own source data from which data would later be extracted selectively to support claims.
Hmm, I don't thing there are more than 3 'distance' dimensions, otherwise we would see effects of this constantly - stuff disappearing from our normal 3D world or appearing out of nowhere, including us. Or having gravitational effects of things that are not really existing in our 3D (wait, that sounds like a dark matter :))

Imagine any 2D plane in our real 3D world - for anybody in 2D, you would constantly see stuff appearing outside of your reality and disappearing, since everything moves within 3D and doesn't care about your own restrictions.

It seems wire brushes for grill cleaning come in various levels of quality, and it’s the lower-quality ones that tend to have this issue. The problem is that you can’t truly know the quality of your brush until you use it. (And either find bristles in your good or not.)

Ask HN: Is an early exit strategy a bad sign?
I recently talked to a founder who wanted me to join.

He doesn't seem to have any concrete prototype yet. And it's hard for me to conclude that he is familiar with the tech his company wants to explore. But he said he is confident the company will be sold to other companies in less than 2 years.

Is this something I should be cautious about? I seemed to read somewhere, a startup planning an early sell is not a sincere business?

Software Engineering Code of Ethics
Yes, you are correct.

Just like with software, you have to check and verify all the sources, or at least have someone do it for you. This may mean buying from the farmer's market, or going to the farm itself.

If you can't do that, you have to find a trustworthy supplier and take their word for it.

Really? That's not how I read it. And when I asked OP, that's not how he responded. The examples of questions that he said he would ask had been stripped of any algorithm-related questions, or any questions that involve coding.

I agree with you and there are short term reasons to put everything in storage. There is another group that just has stuff squirreled away "in case".

The law can, if it chooses, make a distinction between on the one hand a plant with a genome produced by non-GMO methods and on the other hand a plant with the same exact genome produced with GMO methods.

I would think that there is no way they don't know that. They know where you live and which bars/restaurants/whatever else you frequent via uber. They might even know where you work if you've ever taken an uber to work. I'm sure they've either purchased from a third party or taken off your phone all sorts of other data they use to build a customer profile on you.

I'm sure 1Password takes security very seriously, but it seems like a big potential attack vector so I prefer a bit less obvious way to store my passwords.

This brings back fond memory of using Modula-2 on the Amiga. The local Modula implementation even produced faster and smaller code than the default C compiler. While Turbo Pascal basically retrofitted all important parts from Modula onto Pascal, it would have been nice to have a Turbo Modula-2 on the PC too. Actually I would like to have a modern version of that around still.

One of the aspects why I like Go is, that it included many of the good parts of Modula-2, giving them a more modern look by using the C-style syntax.

If evidence cannot be provided, then I kindly ask that impossible-to-prove assertions not be made.

But the control group — wouldn’t it be non-GMO crops of any kind, organic or non? The assertion, yet to be provided evidence for, is that with gene editing many more millions are no longer suffering malnutrition. That seems to me to be easy evidence to provide if it’s true. If it’s true, evidence should be able to be shown that nutrition content has increased by X percent leading to X thousand lives not perishing. “Since the introduction of high vitamin C rice in Zambezia, the rates of scurvy have dropped by 32%. Vitamin C is difficult to obtain in Zambezia by any other means.” I don’t see how a discussion of pesticides enters into it.

This is just untrue. In the absence of more specific data, companies with risk-based pricing will price at a rough median within whatever ranges they can establish so that everyone pays the same while still being somewhat profitable for the insurer. They were doing this for hundreds of years before Facebook came along.

More data allows price discrimination so that some people pay more than others, which we tend to think of as good when its based on things like age in life insurance, but which we tend to think of as bad when its based on things like race in life insurance. These companies have repeatedly shown they are unable to self-limit themselves to only considering things we think of as good, and price discrimination is almost never beneficial for consumers in practice, so its worth having a conversation about whether they should be able to consider data like that at all.

Easy access to credit the way it runs in the US isn't universal, and most places it is are currently dealing with the same data collection issues.

Partitioning the data and more heavily regulating the credit industry may be part of a solution.

Where do healthcare providers function well with less data than those in the US? I'm not experienced enough with the healthcare industry and nationalization of healthcare data to know, so if you have examples I'd really appreciate it.

They're certainly more complex as a result of higher quality demands. A car can be tested under real-world conditions and fixed if it shows any manufacturing defects. Any mistakes with a rocket are very expensive.

Testing is also very different. For a car, you can build a batch and test it extensively under all conditions, fixing errors as they come up. If you develop an assistance system, you can test this extensively before releasing it. Rockets are so expensive that SpaceX had only a few trials for their landing system. You need to make sure that both hardware and software work perfectly without ever testing them in production.
The BEAM will totally interrupt a process that is currently processing a message. It does so based on a 'reduction' count, roughly equivalent to each function call. Since there is no looping construct, any iteration can be interrupted halfway through.

But this means that the VM is entirely allowed to interrupt you halfway through a call to sorting a list obtained through a message. No qualms about it. You reach you function call limit, you're phased out and put back in the queue.

The three ways I know about to hog a scheduler for yourself are:

- write C code that misbehaves and stalls the scheduler (there is now a dirty scheduler if you want the code to run there)

- hardcode a sequence of arithmetic operations (which are not subject to reduction counts) that can take a very long time to execute -- something that never happens naturally in code

- set your process to the max priority and do busy looping while the rest of the system is at a lower priority. Your process will now have a higher priority and prevent others from running

That's about what you can do. It requires a kind of explicit effort to do and is very easy to spot from afar.
