I don't know, one of my euro immigrant friends in Vancouver was a window cleaner. IIRC she basically showed up at the border with some education certificate (some non-fancy arts degree), her intent to make a living and proof she could sustain herself for a few months; definitely not sponsored by a tech company or anything like that. A few years later she was a citizen. OTOH I know two very capable (although not "rockstar" level) tech people who have lost the H1B lottery several years in a row.

In that sense the USA seems more random, but not more open. But I guess we're just using different criteria.
Oh, the good invention of "Page Has Moved"
Terms that you accept by clicking an "I accept" button can be a proper, considered contract. From what I understand GDPR requires more legible terms of service, in place of the undecipherable legalese one finds now, which could potentially help with the issue of users not understanding what they're accepting.

I don't see why the new rules couldn't have been limited to those of this sort, which ensure that users are providing considered agreement.

Is it just me, or have medium article gotten very clickbaity lately?
Engineer/technical/science-type people tend to have this belief that wanting to reap the value they create makes them "bad people" or at the very least not a "good engineer/scientist/etc."

Apparently, only business and finance people are allowed to want money because they provide a useful service or just because they want money.

I personally believe that in a capitalistic society, it is imperative that everyone tries their best to extract as much of the value that they create. Otherwise we end up with massive inequality.
Probably what he meant by "sometimes hundreds of occupants"
You can if you're super duper careful and throw in a little inline asm, depending on the architecture. ARM for instance is very likely not to need to spill to the stack on tiny little leaf functions.

It's an absolutely terrible idea, but I've seen engineers be so afraid of asm files that they'd try something like this.
Often, zombie shows want to use that conflict to expose some social tension.
Anyone who thinks Nvidia was being anti-competitive here is delusional. There is no competition in the GPU market simply because there are no competitors. Nvidia GPUs are so far beyond AMD in terms of performance that they are qualitatively different products, which serve entirely different markets. The market could be called a duopoloy at best, but any notion of free market competition is absurd when you factor the sunk cost of trying to catch up with Nvidia.

We're not talking about commodity widget makers vying for market share here. This is a company at the absolute forefront of computer science and engineering, pushing the boundaries of what is possible for humanity.

The vast majority of engineers in the valley do not get FANG levels of compensation. Non-engineers earn even less. FANG employs a small fraction of all engineers, also. Using their salary as a baseline to analyze affordability introduces a strong bias towards one extreme of the tail. If one wishes to analyze affordability in general starting that bias makes the analysis not fit for purpose.

I don't think that's accurate. I was just in Vancouver last week and took a peek at the real estate listings. I could sell my 1734 sq ft house here in the Bay Area, get one twice as big in Vancouver, and still have quite a lot left over.

Telegram just raised 1.7B without diluting and it seems that both Telegram and the speculative investors are very happy about that. How that can be construed as a mess is beyond me.

You yourself seem to think this is, without putting too fine a point on it, a scam. If your capital is $1.7B in money you've scammed from others (or others who themselves hope to scam others), you've definitely waded into a big mess.
That's a great illustration of repeated structural change over time; admittedly that requires an external power to spin it initially.

It depends on what percentage of his 1rm he's doing. I use 531 and it's based off a training max which is 90% of your 1rm. You never lift heavier than about 85% of your 1rm on the program because doing so is heavily taxing on your CNS. Unless he is using PEDs he probably won't last long-term if he's lifting close to his 1rm twice a week.

> i'm yet to see a high-rise development resulting in cheaper housing, at least in US. No that i'm against it - i like it, when it is done right, for different reasons though.

It definitely won't be one or 2 developments; there has to be a systematic increase in the housing stock. Which is why the latest California plan (which was shot down in committee) to increase the density around mass transit by default was so amazing.

SF is NYC in the making. I know SF folks don't want to change the character of the city but something has to give; its attracting way too many people and we still need affordable housing for middle class folks.

I think that with the preview versions of most Microsoft software you get telemetry that can't be disabled. I guess Microsoft thinks that is a fair exchange: you get free software to test early, they get test data.

The released versions have less telemetry and opt-in or out that should work.
Well a zombie show where people acted sensibly would end after the first few minutes because:

- The scientists involved used sensible precautions because they are pretty intelligent and have no interest in exposing themselves to dangerous pathogens.

- After the first sign of a dangerous outbreak the government gets involved and unlike movie governments they know what they're doing and soldiers will actually just sit in armored vehicles where the risk of zombie bites is minimal.

- It turns out brain tissue alone does not contain enough nutrients for a human-sized being to subsist for a significant amount of time and the outbreak naturally dies down after two days because the zombies run out of energy.

- In any case, Australia will be fine because zombies are not smart enough to pilot a plane or boat all the way there. If the outbreak starts there, the rest of the world is fine by the same logic.

Same thing how horror movies famously depend on the protagonists making the worst possible decisions ("let's split up!"). Zombie movies started off as societal critique about the dangers of consumerism. A realistic scenario does not make for an entertaining movie, and non-entertaining movies don't get funded.

Since primes are themselves a deep structure of the integers it would not seem possible for a neural network to offer any advantage. The concept of prime "finding" being searching the larger space of positive integers for primes is misleading. Primes are themselves the factors of larger, non-prime numbers.

In chess, the search space is a tree of moves, and the algorithm eliminates some subtrees as being irrelevant to playing the sorts of strategies that beat humans in conventional time-bound contests upon which other algorithms have been trained.

But with primes, the next largest prime is another atom that has the requisite structural property of not being the product of any smaller primes. If there were any other informational aspect to what makes a number prime, then it would be derivable from the definition of primality.
Yeah and besides all of that stuff you can’t even have proper UI components without JavaScript.

I was confused by your last paragraph. I now understand by crypto community, you meant cryptocurrency community. (And 'built on crypto' is also talking about the currency features, not encryption features.)

I think this would a lot more common if it wasn't seen as unethical to bill time in two places at once, as well as if companies were more open to hiring part-time. Why do you think your old supervisor was so open to this arrangement (not rhetorical, real question)?
> The point of (or at least, one of the points of) smart contracts is to be the enforcement agent for the terms of an ERC20 token.

> Of course, we're not there yet, and for that reason, it's a silly / premature to suppose that an ERC20 token can represent true ownership.

When put this way I can't see the future of smart contracts ever being fully realized. Humans rely on humans for final arbitration and take issue with automatic enforcement of rules without opportunity for appeal.

The appeal mechanisms I've seen still rely on humans (mechanisms like multi-signature transactions with an escrow user as a signature).

Ultimately, unless all of your property is entirely digital or informational in nature, governments will be forever able to use violence or the threat thereof to compel you to relinquish whatever property they wish.

Gassy Earthquakes Near Istanbul May Pose New Risks to Region
Solar can produce a great many kWh per month if you cover the roof of a whole Costco sized warehouse with it, but for instantaneous power is nowhere near sufficient for large ship propulsion. The energy density in joules per kg or liter of fuel in compressed gas or heavy fuel oil or diesel is significantly higher than what is now possible with batteries. Where pv might have a role is shore bases charging stations to charge short distance electric cargo ships, such as the privately run ferries that transport tractor-trailers from the Vancouver metro area to Vancouver island.

Sprint have switched to leases with an optional balloon payment; Verizon, T-Mobile and AT&T offer 0% finance plans with no final payment to own the device.

Regardless, all the networks offer their customers a new device with no money up front and the same monthly payment as soon as their contract expires. It's good for retention, but it means that a lot of customers are largely oblivious to the actual cost of their phone.

The "Don't @ me" vibe doesn't really fit well on HN I don't think

As for my mental gymnastics, honestly it used to be to hide the terrible ads but these days I just don't care. Get a better business model if the last remaining non-adblocker users don't keep you in business.

YouTubers use Patreon or (the gaming types) are switching to Twitch and their subscription system. Ebooks and online course sites work well for the more instructional content. There's an alternative to everything currently supported by ads. Heck, I imagine a newspaper would do pretty well on Patreon now that I think about it.

Edit: Dug up an example of an ad I installed an adblock to stop. These[1] are the ads that ruined it for everyone, not the bog standard Google ads. Honestly though I'm not going to the effort of checking each site's ad-worthy-ness anymore. All blocked.

> they just pay a lot more than what my neighbor could pay me

My wife is a pediatric occupational therapist specializing in early intervention. She gets paid bupkis by the children's hospital but working super interesting cases. She gets paid reasonably by the county for providing homecare to some kids who really need help as the county is the Medicaid payor of last resort and the kids really need help. She gets paid handsomely by private parties, but the work is often dull.

I'm not sure people work at the corps because the pay is better. I suspect many are attracted by some of the crazy problems on offer.
There's one place I still will consider using Adblock Plus - I support some users who still use IE on Windows 7 boxes, and I've kind of looked at it as "good enough" for those situations.

>They found that people given a flu vaccine interacted with significantly more people, and in significantly larger groups

I have a personal hypothesis that the coughing and sneezing that come with the flu are also an adaptation of the virus. Getting people to cough and sneeze is a great way to spread an airborne disease.
> What does that look like? Do you know of anyone doing something like this today?

Just speculating here, but it might be like applying for a scholarship: you have to justify why you need it more than anyone else. Some set of individuals clearly have the most need, and they should get the assistance. A double blind review process should eliminate implicit bias against gender, race, or other categories.

I bet 99% of those approved would be exactly the minorities all of these targeted groups are trying to support, but there's still that 1% that might just be a "cis white male" with no support and a truly heart breaking story. Such a person has little help available at the moment. I can think of a few logistical issues with this approach, but we're just speculating here.

> My only thought is the symphony auditions where the judges cannot see the applicant (hidden by a screen).

Yes, that's a great example. The point is to remove possible sources of implicit bias and focus on merit.

They've actually tried this at some companies, with double-blind interviews and such, but they ended up with largely the same outcomes as the status quo.

One possibility is that the bias in our industry isn't as significant as is typically portrayed. Another is that the biases happen earlier and lead to minorities either being less qualified or appearing less qualified, on average. But then efforts should be focused on helping individuals in those earlier stages, like training programs or financial support to improve their qualifications.

> No one likes quotas, set asides. But right now it's the lesser evil.

They might be justifiable if they were actually effective, but it's literally impossible for them all to be effective. Taking gender hiring quotas as an example, only about 20% of CS grads are women, and this ratio is about the standard for CS employment across the industry. But every tech company now wants a 50/50 gender ratio. That's quite literally impossible with the current labour pool, and pushing this agenda leads to skewed incentives, fast turnover and unqualified hires.

I'm not sure denying facts and scientific evidence is the lesser evil, because denying evidence simply won't fix anything. Evidence-driven efforts are great, but most I've read about don't fall in this category. Perhaps I only hear about the failures though, so that could be confirmation bias at work. Still, I would think denouncing any efforts that deny evidence would be uncontroversial, but that doesn't seem to be the case.
