I suspect that AI is not a good fit - the (public) datasets are too small here (all anyone knew previously was that one record label got charged X for Y downloads).

Plus the dataset is tainted - it's not trying to spot if people have been pretend listening to beyoncé songs, and picking their trees from the forest, it's that every tree in the forest has been artificially raised up. If you don't know that how AI tell?

I do agree on your second point though.
I wonder if they don’t have a partnership deal with Upwork. I’ve hired freelancers through Upwork, and you get a series of screenshots of the freelancer’s screens if you want it. (It helped me catch someone trying to defraud me - they had the exact same Microsoft Word screen up for hours on end, billing but not actually doing anything.) A partner deal with Upwork would explain the seemingly crazy high revenues.
No one's going to publicly agree with you, but they all do.
I think there’s an aspect to this that you did not bring up. Systems like this can be fragile. There’s no way for a human to bail in a socially acceptable manner if conversation ends up in a dead end.
Creating a NEP5 Token on NEO Network
I don't know. Are there? The home computing revolution was a weird inflection point. Medicine got more scientific over the last 200 years, steadily so, not less. The law has steadily remained formal and accredited since the founding of the country (and presumably long before). I'm sure there are similar cases, but this might be the biggest one in recent memory.

Again, part of my claim is: this is not really a surprising or weird argument. It's pretty obvious from the recent history of the field. You can argue that it doesn't have as much explanatory power as I'm giving it, but I don't think anyone can reasonably argue that the underlying phenomenon didn't occur.
Taking out a loan to buy a car can be worth it, if you get an extremely low interest rate. However, for that to happen, you need to be buying a new car with a top credit score. In that case, you're probably still better off paying cash, but taking a loan can smooth out cash flow a bit. But, if that's the reason you're taking the loan, you should already be able to buy the car in cash.

That's in a perfect world. In the real world, where people aren't perfectly rational agents, people take out car loans all the time. One can argue that the major US automakers are essentially finance companies these days.
Most of this isn't exclusive to remote work at all. The American office pays more than the UK office, the New York office pays more than the Miami office. Of course it's BS, pay never rewarded people equally to begin with.
Absolutely seriously. The solution to a team member not fitting into your extra-cirricular-but-also-work clique is not tweaking your clique a little so that maybe it's a little less off-putting to the new person. It's being more mindful of the effect your clique has on others that aren't in it and maintaining a better separation between your clique and your professional life.
Modern constitutional democracy and republicanism were developed during the 17th and 18th century by Enlightenment authors (Locke, Rousseau, and Montesquieu). They setup some fairly novel concepts for enabling representative government, including the idea that rights derive from the principle of authority (Locke) and the idea of separation of powers to limit authoritarianism (Montesquieu).

Ideal is hard to quantify here, but if we focus on maximizing representation and effectiveness at the same time, then it's fair to say that these forms of government were uniquely successful. Despite their flaws and failures, they still seem to be the best at maximizing those two variables. Prior to the U.S., people accepted Plato's sensibility that all forms of democracy devolve into authoritarianism -- which obviously is a meme that persists today. (It's worth pointing out that at the same time the U.S. was forming, France had its democratic revolution which ultimately settled into Napoleonic rule.)

The racism of the Enlightenment authors I mentioned is fairly staggering. It's hard to reconcile that with their work, even at the time it was written. Despite that, America now has 100% suffrage and managed to retain its government structure (via a civil war).

My favorite line ever from any kids book of all time "The Bus is For Us" https://www.amazon.com/Bus-Us-Michael-Rosen/dp/0763669830 "The bus is the best, the best is the bus, the bus is the best because the bus is for us!"
It is true that they often have headline writers. But the idea of having someone separately manufacture a headline that ignores the same level of rigor and standards that goes into a publication's reporting is a plague in the industry. A side effect of their reliance on ad-revenue for survival.
I keep hearing a lot of anti-car sentiment on HN, and a lot of claims that cities with good public transit are wonderful. Amsterdam is often cited as an example. So I decided to find out for myself. I went there.

It convinced me more than ever that I will always prefer car/uber/lyft to public transit. Wait, hear me out.

Yes, buses and bikes were wonderful. But, they do not stop at my door, and they do not stop at where I want to go. Sometimes they stop close, sometimes a few blocks away. Lots of people will argue that this is OK, but it really is not when the weather is a freezing rain. So basically to subscribe to your vision of the future city, I have to subject myself to walking and waiting in freezing rain?

No thanks. Car/Uber/Lyft for me.

PS: I am not saying let's stop having buses. Just that everyone who claims that everyone should be on buses and we should ban cars from cities is delusional or a masochist.

The article begins with a truthful disclaimer that's also amusing.

>Disclaimer: The Washington Post is owned by Jeffrey P. Bezos, who also runs Amazon, though we really don't think we're doing the site any favors with this article.
From the NYT article:

> A more thoughtful regime would ensure that all drivers make a living wage by establishing a minimum fare for riders, and a standardized share of that fare for drivers

The reason post also mentions capping supply. What is your definition of dynamic pricing if it includes capping supply and putting a floor on price?
I think this is the heart of Apple's competitive advantage. They're not trying to save pennies when it comes to the consumer experience, whereas other companies consistently do the details poorly.

Apple products are in no way perfect, but they're consistently the best in class, and it's always fascinating reading about the detail that goes into the manufacturing behind it.

One thing that I think they do really well consistently stay with products, which gives them breathing room to release a polished V1 and then iterate on top of that. The iPod might be dead, but it's over 15 years old. We've had the iPhone for 10 years. Compare that with Google's dizzying number of new product releases that mysteriously disappear after 6 months.
Exactly this.

When I moved to Portland (from NYC, unfortunately), I hoped that I would have access to the MAX, but if not then I'd be able to take the bus to work. I ended up being about 20 blocks from the nearest MAX stop, but there was a bus stop right outside my apartment. I took the bus maybe a dozen times before I realized that it really is a non-option; what takes me ~15 minutes (20 on a extremely rare bad day) in a car takes me at least 45 minutes (to an hour) on the bus.

It's really all about what bus route you're on, and your ability to find housing on the bus with the most direct line to your office (in a city like Portland). That's usually not super easy. I have coworkers that have 15-30 minute bus rides from farther out because they're on efficient bus routes.
Yes, it'd be really interesting to see cities try to develop that as a partial solution to congestion and pollution. Offering a formal 3/5 days telecommute option for a large enough portion of your workforce should qualify for some type of rebate, subsidy, or credit.
> There have been 2-3 instances of self proclaimed incel men lashing out because they can't get laid, and they have been branded as psychopathic women-haters by the far-left.

How should men who go on a literal killing spree because they believe they are owed sex be classified? That sounds like pretty psychopathic behavior (or would it be sociopathic? I get those confused).
I’ll take EcmaScript over C++ any day :-)

But I started programming back in 83, before the PC industry decided that some bastardized knock off of Simula 67 was the one true programming model. In contrast, a language which traces its origins back to Smalltalk/Self with a longing to use some Lisp/Scheme techniques can’t be all bad.
Hey Ka-Ping! Maybe I did get carried away :)

>people living in a more desirable area still end up better compensated because they live in a more desirable area,

That doesn't make any sense. The cost of living isn't just because there is more value there. It's often times because of idiotic housing policies.

A software developer living in LA is receiving no better compensation than one living in Miami just because the housing costs more.
No sense at all. Nvidia's stock increased 14x since 2014 by running a closed system in a public cloud. Oh wait...
I didn't mean to imply you can't understand that because of being gay. I merely think sexual orientation changes the entire thing. The tension people feel comes from society and IMO that's very different when it's not the traditional heterosexual dynamic.

As much as I'd love to live in a world where everyone is truly equal, that's not the world we live in.

> false accusations are lies and presumably will happen even if you avoid all contact with someone, no?

Absolutely true. But lying about sexual misconduct is relatively easy compared to a murder.

If someone does decide to be malicious against you, it's easier to prove them wrong if it's known that you stay away from the other person. Because of gossip and perception if you're close to someone of the opposite sex on the work environment people assume the worst.
I work at a telco/ISP, where I am directly responsible for multiple web-accessible and internal applications that have to be GDPR-compliant. I assure you that I am absolutely not trolling. As a professional, I take the GDPR extremely seriously, and in my private life I am very interested in keeping my private information private.

Have you downloaded FB's data dump of you? That is only the bare surface of what they collect. They do not give you access to the underlying profiling and the social graph they have built on your information. All you are getting is chat logs, uploaded photos/videos, a list of contacts/friends and some simple keywords. That's not even scratching the surface of the data model FB has on every single user.

The data you think you're giving them and the data they actually have are orders of magnitude apart.

The "well you can just choose not to use them" argument falls completely flat when you realize that many businesses and organizations have no internet presence outside of Facebook. They've set up a Facebook page because "everyone has Facebook, right?". If you cannot see the problem with that, then I'm not sure what to say.
Double digits of microseconds of difference as of some time last year, if I remember correctly - it might have gotten even better since then since I know Google wanted to narrow that gap.

My goal wasn't to bolster a "fruitful professional relationship". She probably wouldn't have been hired if that was not the case. She excels at her work and there are no HR problems. Article focused on women feeling anti-social in the workplace. I don't think it implied being anti-social will put you in a rut. It will however deter future generations. Goal of the 'merger' was not to put her on a scale and see if she measures up to be in our "in-group". The goal was to get to know our new employee. That being said, it was clear that there is a culture divide and while the relationship is fruitful, it's not as fruitful as it could be.
Thank you very much. That is a lot of food for thought.
I'd speculate that the reason for failure in many off-shored projects had a lot more to do with the type of developer that's willing to commit to a lower hourly-rate, than with remote work & management limitations.
Losing your job over a faulty signal sounds like some serious bullshit. I hope they sued.

+100 on the advice in the article. I work from home and my home office space is actually 50/50 an area where I can do development work, plus a music studio.

I literally have to turn my chair around 180 degrees to go from my PC & laptop to a rack of guitars and amps. Makes it easy during those long compile cycles or waiting for an up/download to just reach back and grab a guitar and noodle away for a bit.

And to actually get out of the house every now and then for a brain refresh, I recently took up Kendo as a sport as well.
Machine Learning: garbage in, garbage out? Train with highest quality data
With a title like that, the article should explore many new languages out there and what they offer a programmer.

Instead, this article just answers its question with one word: Kotlin.

I get it; Kotlin is easier to write in than Java. But the article should list why it's better than Scala or Clojure, if we're restricting ourselves to JVM languages. (And why should we?)

There's 48 languages more common than Kotlin, according to https://www.tiobe.com/tiobe-index/ . Why is it better than all of them?
I know lots of people will roll their eyes at the old man who complains and shakes his cane about the decline of long-form communication and the thoughtfulness of written correspondence. But I don't care if they think I'm paranoid and silly. I think it's a damn shame to replace common literacy and writing with tweets and autocomplete that eventually just takes over for you entirely.

Here's the thing about these little conveniences and timesavers they're building. I think it's a sliding scale. Now we think it's inconvenient to call and put in a reservation or write an email to somebody. They'll fix that. Then we'll think the next most onerous thing is inconvenient. The truth is, we have extremely cush lives right now as it is. We're not going to use this to save time and do better things, become better people. We're going to use it to lazily shrink from society and become even more obsessed with electronic trivialities. Just like me writing this bitter comment right now. It's the continuation of an obvious trend.

Cost of living adjustments make no economic sense, but that doesnt mean that peopler remotely should get the same income as people that work in-office.

It is very easy to find out how much employees charge in the US, but not so easy for remote. You can find remote workers from oversees at 30U$S, while engineers in SF make 70~80U$S on-site.

Also remoting as a contractor, when it includes differences in benefits and costs, compound: no lunches, office space, etc is very valuable to an employee and costly to the company.

OTOH, the employees that say that they should be able to make the same money working remotely because they provide roughly the same value really do not understand how fierce the competition for remote is, and how low their productivity, percieved or not, can get from that switch.
Value only sets a maximum. It's meaningless when you are talking about giving paycuts to people you know are in cheaper locations.
NTSB opens an investigation into Tesla crash in Florida
There are lots of those in Seattle and King County. They even close down an entire avenue during rush hour and turn it into a bus-only street.
There is a huge problem here - we are designing cities around the manually operated car, focused on the commute to and from work (and lesser extent school)

But these are dying trends - but they will be baked into our cities by concrete and tarmac for decades.

I travel by coach from outside London (basically they drive round a commuter belt town picking up about 30 people then hop on a motorway. Dozens maybe more of similar coaches run each day). And I work in the City and right now there are, I kid you not, a major 50+ storey building going up on each point of the compass at work. London is adding major office space.

But the jobs will become more remote working - and the infrastructure can barely take it - funnelling millions of people from suburban beds to inner city offices is what half the infrastructure of a city is for.

When this stops, it will stop suddenly.

Remote working is nicer. you spend more time
with your kids, you walk, take part in your community, see people.

It wins hands down.

So when something shifts, and remote working hits that tipping point, what happens?

I am a female engineer and I studied CS in Europe. I never had issues socializing. My classmates were fortunately very inclusive, maybe because the men-women friendships have a different dynamic in Europe, or I was just lucky. Either way, my class was still 95% male. I would say we have to look at even younger girls to see the issue.

I have a brother who is really into computer games. When we were children, my parents got him games and didn't mind when he was sitting behind the computer for hours. I also liked games and I was trying to write stories, draw, install programs to get(ehm, pirate) music too. We had one computer and when my brother was using it I had to wait for him to finish playing. When I was using it, I was sent to play outside or read. Computers were always a boy thing, so I was never really seriously considering studying CS until we did a career test in high school where they encouraged me to go to a STEM field and do something like math or computer science. I gave it a try and loved it.

I think we have to start early and stop dividing professions into for men or women. Let men be nurses and women firefighters. Look at your childrens personalities and let them grow in whatever they enjoy, girly or not.
Like, I take the BART every day into work. It's fantastic.
I walk for five to ten minutes to get to the station, a
train comes every 5 minutes so I don't have to worry about
the train schedule, then I walk another five to ten minutes
to get to the office. If the bus experience could match
that, it'd take over a lot of commuting.

For what it's worth, this is only the case if you live near a station with overlap (or live in SF itself). I lived in West Oakland and had a train practically every 3 minutes.

Then I moved to Berkeley. Commute in is every 15 minutes, 50/50 I have to take a transfer on the way in. Commute home is a nightmare: BART has a carriage shortage so they try to shave off cars from longer routes (such as the Richmond line). This means things get really crowded on occasion, and there's a point where a car being crowded begets more crowding, as it takes longer and longer to offboard/onboard people and therefore each subsequent stop has more people to cram on. A majority of the time on my way home when I get a transfer (as there seems to be a Richmond train from SF only for an hour span at the peak of rush hour), the trains are almost an entire cycle late, meaning I've got another 15 minute wait to see two trains come through one after the other.

The point of this is: the problems you raise with busses are also with trains/BART. Some of them are even worse for BART: you have to steeply limit the service area because putting down tracks is stupendously expensive.

I'm using Slack & Riot ... and from my point of view Slack has many of the same issues that riot has as well (performance, room switching, etc).

I agree the UX is not as intuitive as on slack, but I'm sure the get there.

One thing that I did not ever find out in the UX is how to change own presence and how to get the others presence (it's always offline).
Yes, you can make the window show on all spaces.

I'd point out, however, that when I first made Artpip (https://www.artpip.com/) I rendered backgrounds using a desktop level window but the performance overhead was too high when compared to just setting the backgrounds natively, so I ended up switching over to that instead. Artpip is made with Electron though, so if you do everything natively then maybe you'll see different results.

It's worth noting that printing money and giving it to the banks is effectively the same as taxing cash - it causes inflation and reduces the value of Yuan-denominated assets (though there are ways to manage this).

By doing this, the Chinese government is subsidizing entities that borrow from the bank (which are often SOEs) without directly taxing its citizens.
