This lecture got uploaded last week, and I had not seen it before.
I think it gives a pretty nice insight into the mind of Jobs (who was doing NeXT at the time), about how he thinks about deep work/failure/learning/"scar tissue" and it goes to show that what he later set out to do with Apple was the result of a deliberate effort/process of approaching things.
It's a less likely explanation when it turns out that the crystal in question actually exists and works, like here.
Your comment got me curious to see what ICOs look like nowadays so I went looking for a list of active ICOs. I'm not sure how trustworthy it is but I ended up here: https://iconow.net/ico-listing-active-icos/

If I can trust the various websites linked it seems that it's still relatively easy to get millions of dollars worth of "investment" by making a fancy website and a rather vague whitepaper (no previous experience or proof of concept required). The "red lantern" one at the top of the list who claims to be about "sexual education" is pretty transparently a prostitution app whose ICO currently nears $1 million. Looks like it's still the wild west over there.
I hope that didn't count as a cash advance
Are you really comparing GDPR to Chinese speech laws?
I remember last year I was in an Uber, and at the destination, I saw the rating question pop up on the drivers phone. His thumb went up and hesitated, and then he hit 4 stars.

I was thinking, I wonder what I've done or vibe I gave out to merit that? I was perfectly polite, I was at the pickup spot, I was very accommodating to where he wanted to drop off. We hadn't had any disagreement, I'd been perfectly pleasant though not talkative. I guessed in the end that an outstanding passenger to him probably gives him an extra tip.
> EU residents, not citizens. It's an important distinction.

Sorry if this is obvious. I haven't been following the details of this.

Does that mean there is no protection for EU citizens while they are outside the EU?
I think the answer is whether GDPR applies or not, companies are going to be collecting and sharing data about you.
Further study is warranted, I'm sure, but it seems reasonable on the surface. Those who have their children earlier have children that are older during their prime working years. Those who have children later already have established careers. 25-35 does seem to be a critical period in setting the course for one's career, so those who opt to focus on children during that time are giving up the gains they could be making in the workplace.
Having 10K+ rep as well on StackOverflow, I thought this way for a time but more earlier on in my use of it. In looking back at the things that were deleted from my account or times I was down voted or things that were edited that I felt were just wrong, those were the ones where I was in a bad mood or not exactly nice or being silly or aloof in my comments etc. This is a similar experience in Hacker News except they don't delete your stuff, they just let it be clobbered unless you get banned. I can't say what is better overall but I would have to say they are both appropriate for their use case as I honestly love them both. IMO, the internet is a better place because of StackOverflow (and Hacker News).
Best Programming Games to Test and Build Your Coding Skills
My impression from reading about a few ML techniques (such as Neural Nets or Support Vector Machines) is that this class of ML algorithms relies heavily on regression techniques that are, at their core, nonlinear optimization problems. This means finding local maxima and minima for systems of nonlinear equations, either analytically or through gradient descent. Either way, you're going to need to deal with a system of partial derivatives, which means you need to understand vector calculus and linear algebra. If that's the focus of this course, then I'd say it does make sense.

I understand what I described above is a subset of ML, and I generally do agree with you that a solid background in probability and stats is important for people who plan to do a lot of ML.

Note - another possible objection here is that all "STEM" fields require calculus through differential equations and linear algebra. That's pretty much the common thread for most majors generally grouped together as STEM fields. So calling this "mathematics for machine learning" could be a little strange. If we're going to call vector calc and linear algebra "mathematics for ML", why aren't we calling it "math for physics", or "math for engineering"... I think that part of what is going on is that ML has gotten very popular, and people are starting to ask what the essential math background is, and are discovering that it's, well, pretty much the two year science and engineering track calculus you'd take at most universities.

I did mention something about cultural biases, yes? Culture has its hooks deep. Given complete freedom economically, we still choose things based on what is "normal" or "expected".
As a random data point: As I write this, irssi with perl and xmpp plugins consumes about 6M and never gets slow.
Having worked on GDPR, it is unnecessarily harsh and in no way, shape or form would I support this standard going global. There are plenty of ways to make users data completely private without being ridiculously overreaching the way GDPR is. And having the sword of infinite lawsuits hanging over your head has and never will work, look at how ambulance chasers in the US have taken the most mundane laws and turned them into free money.

“Urging” Facebook to do anything not in its commercial interest isn’t worth squat. Best case: another vague promise to be broken as soon as we forget.

Facebook needs to be broken up and an American GDPR codified into law. If you care about this, pick up the phone and call your Congressperson and Senators.
You have that backwards. In Marx's works, socialism was the stepping stone to communism.
Interesting you mention that. In many places in Europe, it is forbidden to release the name of a suspect until they are found guilty or there's heavy evidence weighing against them. Specifically for that reason.
What contextual information would best improve HN discussions understanding?
Hello! I'm from France. I find myself misinterpreting some of user's comments because of lack of context or introduction to the comments or personal experiences of authors. Comments currently have 4 pieces of information so far beside text : author's username, vote count, date time and, implicitly, parent comment. According to you, what 5th piece of information would help to better understand author's point of view? As an example, each post could also have the continent or country where the author is currently living in (at the time of writing and posting)
Everyone needs to have their status tracked for the personality analysis, so we have to have something to identify users over time. But I suppose it could just be a password without an email...? hmmm...
>Switching from experimenting a lot and thinking a little to experimenting a little and thinking a lot was a key turnaround in productivity.

I think corollary might be - Know your data and the processing steps from the paper very well.
That's a fair comment. Most older software companies have disappeared, and the existing ones got so big they tend to misbehave in a similar way (e.g. Adobe). Many of the smaller guys were crushed by Microsoft using its unique position, very often by FUD and other unfair actions. I prefer to support companies that have a moral backbone and criticize those who don't.
Are Amazon FBA or drop shipping still passive? Both of those still require significant time dealing with exceptions.
Where on the website does it say how it actually works? Because "the it works" page, well, doesn't. It seems it connects to a phone via bluetooth? But also uses Wifi? How does it actually connect to any devices? Does it even do that? Or is it just a bluetooth remote for your phone, and the phone then does the real work? If I put this thing next to my bed, and I use it to control my lights, and I left my phone downstairs - will it work?
Who said anything about the police? The GDPR does not say that the police has the right remove stuff. It allows courts to rule that a company must comply to a removal order.

I read a theory that it is due to CA offering drug programs designed to get addicts off drugs. Addicts move there, and when the program fails, they stick around. I've no idea whether it is a valid theory.

Just because something may have an impact that differs based on sex doesn't make it sexist. Would we call pregnancy sexist because it works differently for each sex?
>Your earlier comment claimed the method for becoming a superpower was to "participate in the most wars and murder the most people." The number of casualties or infrastructure damage relative to the rest of the world shouldn't matter

Please re-read what I actually said. You've blatantly misquoted me. A keyword which you conveniently ignored is wins.

>You're hedging your bets with the weasel terms "large scale" and "longest lasting"

Is scalability not a prerequisite to becoming a global scale superpower?

>the point is that the US didn't achieve superpower status through success at mass murder

Are you honestly implying the US' success at mass murder is unrelated to their becoming a superpower?

> The dangerous ones are those that take tiny amounts monthly that you just won't notice.

Wait, what? How are you not going to notice? Every transaction is a line on your statement which, I think, all banks issue monthly.

Besides, if you have a computer, you can download all transactions (to Quicken or similar software) every day or two and verify all your new transactions. If you have a phone, Many banks and cards can even be set up to notify you on each transaction.

If there was fraud on my account I’d know instantly, at worst within two days.
Thank you for the suggestion.

Can you please elaborate 'allow the user to reveal his identity case by case.' Through an example.

It will help me a lot.
Wouldn't lengthening the human life span solve a lot of this? Or even lengthening our span of peak performance? What if we lived to an average of 90-110 and had peak performance until 70-80 instead of living to 70-80 with peak performance until 40-50? That 10 year gap would mean a lot less.

I've similarly started to rely on Google Cloud Shell as the only way to access our production database. That way, firewalls never have to allow external access, and it's very clear whether I'm on production.

Adding a Metabase instance with read-only credentials has helped this a lot - because executing one-off data queries is easy (and safe) now.
Once they are there, the problem goes away.

Impressive work.

Obviously, WhatsApp/Facebook would want to avoid a bunch of third party apps connecting to their service. How long until they make changes to make this more difficult/impossible?
The point of the article is that various social factors force women to make a choice they really shouldn't have to. We have set up the economy such that the key career-building period occurs at the same time as when most women need to have kids (if they plan to have them). There is no particularly good reason for it, and we could alleviate the situation by e.g. rolling back the unnecessary focus on post-secondary and post-graduate education.

Sure, some women would continue to downshift their career to focus on raising children. But many women who just want a couple of kids but aren't otherwise gunning for mother of the year (all of the women in my family) can have them at a convenient time and return focus to their career without loosing ground permanently.
You can already use webrtc for that.
Most people don't seem to grasp that in this day and age, any GUI program (at least on OS X) is going to be minimum 20MB due to the retina display. Add in that realistically you need to use Webkit (or some HTML renderer), at which point... 100MB is pretty good.

For reference, an RSS reader I threw together using standard Cocoa widgets will hit 50-60MB with no issues, and that's with my being annoyingly judicious with how it's built.
The sub-topic was the idea that it 'wasn't my fault' that tipping got inconvenient and so they didn't do it. Lets not rewrite what was just posted. Rewriting a situation to feel better about oneself is symptomatic of the issue here.

>> Functioning system doesn't imply success.

It is almost a definition of success. One can refine it to include functioning under a range of conditions, or at a desired price point, or something else. But a system that functions as desired is the end goal of all engineering projects. Even if you're most of the way there in development, root cause analysis can often be used to figure out why something did not perform as desired.

And a lot of developers just don't have an eye for it at all. I can look at a UI all day and tell that something is off but I couldn't even begin to tell you what or how to fix it. It doesn't mean I don't care.
from a pure economic perspective (which is the slant imposed by "pay gap"), a core piece of the problem is that household care (as a broader category that includes child care) is not adequately specified and appropriately valued monetarily.

if household management was a good to be bought and sold, we could discover its price curve through market mechanisms. since women do more house work, we would be able to appropriately account for that gap.

but do we want a society where household care is simply another market good?

> To be honest you can really tell that the people whose skills are focused on Unity and C# are more stressed out than the ones who know Python and AWS and can pretty much walk in to another job.

Lead Unity/C# developer, can confirm. Ecosystem full of teenagers eager to get into game development doesn't help with the stress either.
Yes, both are infringing 1st amendment. It’s not because GDPR seems more acceptable than it’s not built on bad premises.
There's advice that I think served me well at a point where I was at least mulling trying to make a probably not very well paying/not very stable job out of my hobby. Namely that, if you have the skills and background to get a well-paying day job that gives you a lot of latitude to pursue hobbies on your own terms that's a pretty good option. Which is pretty much what I've done.

Stop paying me tomorrow? Good luck with that even if I didn't need the paycheck. But I enjoy it well enough and have plenty of time for other activities. Would I prefer even more time? Yes. But the status quo is a reasonable one for me.
There is a study that shows rates for different industries too. I think entertainment industry has the highest divorce rates where as engineering is among the lowest? If someone kind find a link I'll be grateful
What do we count as mature?

There are different stages of brain development that don't finish until around 25 in women and 28 in men, but these aren't necessary to be mature. Even people who are 40 will make decisions that their 50 year old selves will view as immature. And given that much of what we consider maturity is driven by experience, delaying acquisition of experience until after maturation will result in further delaying maturation for the next generation.
Clearly not true for electricity.

These types of economic laws are extremely shallow mode of reasoning.
It still holds true. If this were the case, the scarcity of those who have observably more skill will hold the power.

But there is an expectation that med school produces doctors who are sufficiently equal in their ability (in that you should not need to worry about which doctor you end up with). That you are suggesting this is not the case is quite interesting.
"On the other hand, getting a Ph.D. in life sciences seems like a pretty fool-proof path to the upper-middle class. Sure, you may not be a Nobel Prize winner, but I'd imagine in the worst case, you'd be pretty employable by pharma companies." I don't think that's true anymore.

There are multiple definitions of flexibility: the ability to quickly change one's schedule, the ability to to continuously work a non-standard schedule, and the possibility to easily work part-time (and return to full time).

All three are useful for parents of young children. And, interestingly enough, the first tends to be anti-correlate to the latter two among professions.

Consider jobs where it's hard to reschedule work at the last minute: pilot, surgeon, lawyer, cop, cashier (at smaller stores), etc: all these jobs tend to allow people to choose schedules other than 9-5 rather easily.

In any case: I think these are all solvable problems, and the old saying that if men where responsible for childcare, we'd have more day cares than Starbucks and mandated home office policies for every company comes to mind.

Your last point of parent's being the only ones capable of raising a child is idle conjecture not supported by any research. And in any case, it would still allow to distribute child care more equally among both parents. Flexible schedules
There is no "vertical rhythm". The strength of the different elements is all over the place.

Some elements randomly have 20px spaces between them, some have 28px, some have 32px. This would be fine if they were done on purpose but right now they look like they were chosen randomly.

Take a closer look at the space below the "BabelJS" title.

Compare the space between "direct message"/"slackbot" vs. "slackbox"/"zcbenz".

Why is the padding around the channel icons 20px on all side while the spacing to the left of "BabelJS" only 13px?

etc.

It's obviously not suggesting using the GDPR whatever that may turn into in the future, but the contents of the GDPR.

Though I think you're right that they would fight it. It's one thing to have your competitors voluntarily adopt a privacy policy that makes them less profitable, but it's another matter if users flock to them and end up eroding the profit margins of the whole privacy violation industry.
No. Google should rank the "Suspect found NOT GUILTY of murder" as the top, most relevant page, because that is truly the most relevant. If Google refuses to rank this the top, it's out of sheer laziness, just like how they refused to fix the subversive content in Youtube Kids "because algorithms". If they did this in the first place, I think most people wouldn't care so much.
Similar in Poland. You can always tap and then it asks for PIN or it doesn't. I expect this decision is based on the amount of the purchase and maybe some other factors.

I've had lousy outsourcing experiences and I've had good ones.
The best outsourcing experience I've had involved a very technically adept CTO, some solid pre-thinking about architecture and scalability, and (most importantly) an API-first, Microservices first mindset.
This meant we could write API specs and test cases, define max-execution times and then hand the problem to the freelancer and let them figure out the solution.
Of course we did a few other things right: Good onboarding, an open Slack, excessive communication / code review / feedback for the first few weeks.
We also lucked in to finding a couple of great Ukrainian developers just at the time the Ukrainian currency took a nosedive, so we were getting $50/hr engineers for $30/hr rates.
(Final thought - I went to try and poach one of the freelancers a year or two later - His rate had roughly tripled as a result of having gotten all the good experience working on a 'modern' app stack (React + Express + AWS Lambda + Microservices architecture).
Shouldn't something at the very least be important enough to you for you to pursue it? You then project how many people would be impacted by your work and prioritize what to pursue first.

Also, another way to look at it is to empathise with other people's daily challenges and use your skills to come up with a solution that makes their lives easier and at the same time makes you richer because you take a little compensation from a whole lot of people.

Edit:

> I'm not anywhere near anything that's actually important.

If you're getting paid, you're likely doing something important. People do tend to like to hold on to their money.
Eventually I'd like to build an Android app. NewsBlur has a native Android app, so I would just divert my Android developers attention to the Turn Touch app. I'm waiting to see if there's sufficient demand for the iOS and macOS apps first.
