I live in Washington's wine country. There are lots of good bottles sub-$20, especially if you join a wine club and find case discounts. Here, there are plenty of > $50 bottles, often priced that way as positioning to the buyers they want to attract far more than as an actual measure of quality. For small time producers, there's a very real need for a premium price because when you are only bottling 5000-10,000 bottles, you gotta at least break even on them.
That’s not really what I’m saying at all. Every lie you tell jeopardises the trust you have amongst others. You might not get caught, and if you do, you may not damage the trust irreparably depending on the magnitude of the lie.

I’m also saying that a workplace cannot be functional without trust, and that a workplace that tolerates dishonesty will invariably erode it. So unless you want to exist in such a workplace, you should not tolerate dishonesty either.

Finally I’m saying that dishonesty is not a prerequisite for success, and that you can be successful with integrity and honesty, and that people value those traits.

I’m not saying there’s some magical threshold, which below, lies become justified. Dishonesty is not a justifiable personality trait, and trying to defend it demonstrates a lack of integrity.

You’re also confusing dishonesty with a lack of 100% openness. If somebody asks your for personal information, or information they’re not entitled to, there is no moral requirement to disclose it to them. This is the reductio ad absurdum I was talking about.

No point in making your PC less noisy than the noise floor.
The 'best' way is to carefully log all of your network traffic and investigate any weird outbound traffic. There are automated tools that can help with this, but at the end of the day, you're going to be going through individual outbound connections and figuring out what's sketchy versus what's okay.

This gets really complicated because it's very easy for skilled people to hide data in legitimate looking data transfers.
How many (unused) post-it notes do you have to take with you for it to count as Stealing, rather than just ”stealing”? If you take one normal stack a year home, is that enought to be a thief? Asking for a friend.

Anyone else use the hex “assembler” on the TI-83+? After a while you just memorize the hex opcodes for z80 insns...

TI-GCC for my TI-89 was nice...a few years back I tried to dust-off my IMSA-issued 89, and...it didn’t turn on. Sad. Replaced all batteries. Nothing... Then the flex connector on my 83+ started flaking out (the LCD corruption issue plaguing these...).
I work for a large adtech company. It's funny how people think they're tracked. Besides websites like Google and Facebook there is no personal information stored. No emails, no names, no way to figure out who that person actual is. Not sure why everyone is freaked out about personalized ads.
> He chooses the time, place, and manner of his work, including subcontracting it.

all of this is entirely within the scope of the contract.

"subcontracting" is unlikely to be permissible in a variety of scenarios, especially if the material being worked on is even vaguely sensitive.

when it does happen, it's typically in a larger organizational context and then there will usually be some vetting or approval process.
There is a limit past which you can't taste the difference (I mean like humans are physically incapable), I think.
You've walked into work and told your boss that he was a fucking moron when you saw something that angered you immediately? Lieing about feelings is a basic human skill. If you never lied you would be a constant stream of unsociable behaviour that would get you shunned

Minor lies are such a part of human society that it's a sign of some disorder if a child is actually incapable of lieing
The Talisker is a great medium smoke whisky. I was on their distillery tour and even they said price != taste, just rarity.

I like super smoky whiskies and unfortunately it’s hard to find anything under $50.
I've tried the Blue a few times. It regrettably tastes the same as everything else from Johnny Walker - that signature JW flavour profile, but otherwise uninteresting and (extremely, given the price) rough. Very little holdover flavours or rolloffs.
That's true, but if I go to a restaurant and they only have a couple "craft" beers, the odds are extremely high that they're all IPAs, which is kind of a bummer if you're into beer but don't really like IPAs.
> they form the opinion then forget the evidence.

It can get even more interesting when memories are there but have been “edited”, making it easier for the mind to rationalize the present opinion.
I actually have been. I informed people as soon as I could, and sent them home immediately without telling a single lie. To some extent this comment also tries to paint withholding information that people aren’t entitled to as lying. Which are absolutely not the same thing.

Also, do you know what happens to companies that have mass layoffs cloaked in dishonesty? They destroy their own reputations. An outcome that entirely proves my point.
I'm pretty sure the KPMG's and PWC's of the world make a lot of money sorting through things like this. :-)
No, I agree with means-testing it. Rent control is not means-tested. That's my problem with it.
Something else I would have never believed had I not experienced it -- the shape of the glass really does matter as well. Not perhaps significantly so that you need to have different glasses, but definitely noticeable when given the opportunity to test.
I mean I am a lot more familiar with sour beers, but I love the funky flavors they give bizarre names like "sweaty horse blanket."
This looks like astroturfing.

I feel like I've been motte and bailey'd a bit here [1].

OK, let's remain agnostic about the hermeneutics. Can we agree that the doctrine of heaven and hell is less conducive to good stewardship of the earth than the doctrine of reincarnation?

Or are you, a theology student, solely commenting on a philosophy thread to police generalities?

Let me relate a true story, and then discuss some implications. After dinner one night, many years ago, an Indian co-worker and I started discussing politics. The Indian wanted to know why we didn’t nuke Pakistan in our hunt for bin Laden. I said that the fallout would kill tens, if not hundreds, of thousands of his countrymen. His response? “They’re excess people.”

If you don’t care about others, then you will use the “other” for your benefit - not mutual benefit. You will be used, you will be lied to, and the political maneuvering will be slanted against you.

Note that this isn’t limited to Indians. It’s, unfortunately, becoming more prevelant in American society, too. In a shrinking world, tribalism (aka identity politics) will be an increasing problem. But Indians have been practicing it for 6K years, so they’re especially good at it.

Ask HN: Non-internal tech recruiters with former tech background...your story?
For those that have a mostly software engineering or other tech job background, any of you out there ever worked as a third party tech recruiter?

A lot of third party recruiters generally come from a sales background and don't necessarily have expertise in the jobs they are helping hire for, but I want to see if there's another side to this. Like software engineers becoming recruiters at a third party agency hiring for software engineering jobs. What's your story? How did you decide to get into tech recruitment?
I think it's a debate worth having. Personally I am heavily in the pro-privacy, limited state power camp on most issues. However, if:

(a) the technology is being deployed in specific environments where there really is a credible threat of criminal behaviour, and

(b) it is being used only as an initial filter prior to normal, lawful police action (or inaction) with normal safeguards, and

(c) the target data set used for comparisons is generated on a lawful and justified basis

then I'm not sure there is anything inherently unethical about this sort of technology. Is it really any different to having police officers at the entrances to a stadium with mugshots of known hooligans who have been identified while discussing trouble-making online ahead of the match?

Whether it is technically capable enough to be useful and cost-effective is a different matter, and it's also a test that might give a different result tomorrow.

Whether it is possible to have sufficient safeguards that a system could reliably meet the standards above is also a different question.

And whether the public would trust that those safeguards existed and have confidence that the standards were being met is another question again.
This has to be one of the most off topic things I've ever seen on HN.

Using element suppression to get responsiveness
All these "responsive" web design frameworks seem buggy and hard to tune/test to me. What if one returns to regular HTML tables for formatting, but switches HTML elements on or off based on device size? With tables one can switch borders on easily to test/inspect designs using the "Table ... Border=[number]" attribute.

Here's an example of how this "Element Suppression System" (ESS) might work. One defines say 3 screen-size ranges: small, medium, and large (sometimes called "breakpoints"). More sizes are possible, but let's start simple. A table-row element (TR) may then be defined as such:

<tr class="ess_ml">...</tr>

This HTML element is suppressed if the screen is "small". Only medium ("m") and large ("l") screens activate it. If you wanted all elements inside of this tag set also suppressed, such as "td" tags (when applicable), then also include "ess_inherit":

<tr class="ess_ml, ess_inherit">...</tr>

Jquery or similar can then detect the screen width and width changes, and apply a filter to the relevant classes to deactivate tags not relevant to the given size.
When I think of state of the art in this area, I think of the Deep Contextualized Word Vectors/ELMo paper from Peters et al, which you cite, but you don't have any comparisons to.

The only point of reference between the two papers I see is the CoVe models, which you guys beat pretty handily, but the ELMo model also beats the CoVe model handily, just on different datasets, so not clear how they stack up.

Any chance you could do some more direct comparisons? You do say that it's a more complex architecture, and the tokenized char convolution stuff is a bit of a pain to do, but if that actually helps, it's not that bad to do once.

From an engineering perspective, not changing the LM weights is kind of nice because then you can train multiple separate models on top of the embeddings without needing to retrain everything (and deal with the associated "noise" when retraining models) and it gives some nice modularity. It would be nice to know how much of the performance is lost from having embeddings that can be shared across a lot of tasks.

Random note: it seems like in Table 7, you have bolded "Freez + discr + stlr" in the IMDb column which has a value of 5.00, whereas "Full + discr" has a value of 4.57, and so should probably be the bolded number.
I don't understand the complaint here, Quantum Field Theory is physics just as much as Quantum Mechanics?

The problem was that the fine was not sufficient. Then ban on using American component cam about because it was discovered the ZTE planned to continue selling despite explicitly stating that they wouldn’t, and having already been fined.

The ban that killed ZTE was not a result of them breaking the law. That merely resulted in a fine. The ban came about as a result of ZTE deliberately planning to continue breaking the law after already being caught, charged, fined, and explicitly agreeing to stop. Give. Than background what should have been done?

There's a guy with my name, roughly the same age as me, from the same hometown who's a recently paroled pedophile. All the top results when you search my name are about him.

So yeah, I'm not enthusiastic about Googling every candidate.
I added a note in my original comment to emphasize that I was responding to the specific argument by the parent comment.

On the factual basis the ban is reinstituted not for the reason you stated that "they were deliberately planning to continue selling them". That was part of the case the led to the original fine. The reimposition of the ban is on a more technical ground.

Outside of Silicon Valley, there are many ridiculous hiring practices. On the east coast I have applied to multiple companies where I knew enough of the employees to get dinner with the team after. When we talked about hiring policies and practices all but one of those dinners ended up with a fight between the coworkers that fell into two teams of whether they should fail candidates over not wearing a suit because it showed they weren't professional or whether they should fail a candidate for wearing a suit because they valued looks over ability.

Hell every single job I've worked at had multiple people whose requirements to hire someone were so difficult that they, themselves wouldn't have been hired

A lot of the software worlds application process out of a few tech hubs is just shotgunning applications so that you get your resume in front of enough hiring managers who are having a good day that you get an interview.

I'm a developer - I could do it but I can't be bothered - not important, merely interesting.
All I can gather from this is Airbnb has way too many engineers and designers for the amount of actual work there is to go around.

At the end of the day, the day to day engineering problems Airbnb has are not very interesting. It’s a web app that can handle peak traffic with standard technologies (meaning nothing real time, live streaming, or millions of users at once).

I have no clue what most engineers would be doing there day to day.
> You mention you've used fourier transforms before - if you don't understand an eigenbasis then you don't have a fundamental understanding the math you're deploying.

That's a bit uncharitable. A fourier decomposition can absolutely be understood as an explicit bag of calculus tricks, with no loss of precision or generality. And an awful lot can be done with just those tools -- you don't need to explain JPEG compression or VLBI astronomy in terms of eigenvectors, for example.

Obviously (heh, "obviously") it's true that the space of decomposed functions form an orthogonal basis, so technically we're "really" operating in a linear space and that has expressive power too. But there are lots of ways of looking at problems.

To wit, you're not wrong. You're just... Well, you know.
Late comment but a good way to do this when you're digging through the source and look at the early commits to see where it started. I remember going through Linux 0.0.1 to boil down the essentials of the kernel for example.
Yep. It makes sense when you think about it; it's pretty intuitive that the shape of the glass would affect how you smell the wine as you drink, and nobody's really going to contest that scent is a large component in flavour.

Like you've observed, it's not such a large deal that if somebody poured red wine in a white glass and handed it to me, I'd wave off (let alone burgundy in a pinot noir glass or something). But it turns out that stuff like that makes a difference if you look for it.

Lot's of candidates lie. The one test that we gave that most people copied was converting decimal to roman number. They copied the first solution that they found, variable names, etc. the few times they changed the variable names, they kept the same number of spacing, braces in same position.

So one line might have "if (...){ " where another has "if(...){"

How demanding can this be? Once money is involved, folks will do almost anything. I had to fire a recruiter once for asking me to lie. Updated my resume, sent me the updated copy with tools I don't know and have no intention of learning and said he was going to use that.
It is a questioning of the merit of debate versus just plain virtue signaling. The last sentence summarizes it pretty well:

"The idea of “debate” imposes an adversarial framework on online interactions, as well as privileging logic as a tool of discovery."

>> It appears the author is saying that since people don't change their mind as often as the author would like, then it means that reason doesn't matter.

It's more that if you want to effect positive change (like "ending slavery"), reason doesn't get you far. To the contrary, a very reasonable argument could be made to non-slaves on why freeing the slaves would be a mortal risk to them. Changing "morals" on the other hand, is effective, because morals transcend reason. This is the playbook of the left.

I had a client who said she was into wine. I gave her a somewhat difficult to procure bottle (small production, long waiting list) that was well above what I would spend on wine for myself. Next time I saw her she told me to my horror how she had popped it open for just her and her husband to have with their hamburgers one weekend. Now I no longer give such nice gifts to clients. ;-D
A lie is saying something that's not true. It's not suppressing the a compulsion to act like a total jackass, no matter how much you really want to. If my boss asked me for an opinion on something I thought was a bad idea, I'd express my thoughts (with empathy). Honesty is not immediately blurting out every thought that passes through your mind, and it's not dishonest to withhold information that people aren't entitled to. You're (perhaps intentionally) confusing honesty with openness. Sometimes it takes courage to be honest, but in my opinion, there's more dangers in dishonesty.
Does anyone have a chess scoresheet (bonus points for annotation!) showing the caliber of board play? I'm assuming the openings are solid but the middle game and endings start to get very odd.
That's mostly, but not completely, true.

Connemara Irish whiskey is also peated. It's also a respectable whiskey, but I think you can do better for cheaper with Scotch island whiskies.

For all-out smokey power, the (Texas-made) Balcones Brimstone is a bit of a mind-fuck. It's dried with mesquite wood fire (i.e. the thing used for good bbq). It's not their best whiskey, and it's not well balanced by any means, but it is unique and very, very smokey.

Edit (after walking through the kitchen): Nikka (Japan) and Kavalan (Taiwan) also produce excellent peated whiskies, genuinely competitive with great Scottish whiskies (unlike Connemara, in my opinion), but they wouldn't be any cheaper than Scottish whiskies in the US.
Limiting work to people with security clearances is an example of ok limitations. Adding so many limits that the acceptable people to do work are the single contractor means youve jaut made a constructive way to get around hiring a person as an employee
I started with the 6502, but my second computer was an Atari STE and did a lot of 68k programming. It was great. Then I discovered the book "The Art of Electronics" as a late teen. It had a whole bunch on the 68008 ( which is gone from the current edition ) which was nice for little embedded projects as it interfacedd with the 8 bit world.

later on I got to do some work on a 68030 series micro. That was pretty nice also. All assembly based.
