Regardless of where the burden of proof lies, it seems silly to say "Dental cleaning is backed by years of scientific research" and then balk at providing any reference on "procedural" grounds.

Recommend reading Robert Sapolsky's recent book Behave. There's a lot to suggest we could have a different attitude towards behavior by looking at it as the product of many dimensions, generally all of which are involuntary on some level.
I also never hear yanny, instead yerry. I think that tool is faulty -the second time I visited the page the laurel started at a different position.
What about Analytic philosophy? It's come up with new ways to discuss and illuminate what we are trying to understand, and starts in the late 1800's.
Looks like this article is well timed for the first batches of MS in Data Science grads who'll start looking for jobs soon. I'm not a data scientist, but I feel Data science field is still quite vague, and the terms ML, AI, Deep Learning etc are thrown around so much, its hard to understand or make a guess as to how much real demand is there for such jobs.

Actually for power plants it isn't quite so simple. Because turbines and turbogenerators at nominal speed are quite close to the limit of what the material can support, they have multiple independent fail-safes. For example, if you tried to spin a turbine above safe speed, quick acting valves redirect the steam elsewhere in a fraction of a second.

However, there are absolutely things you could do in a power plant that greatly accelerate wear. It might be possible to accelerate wear enough to achieve failure of some parts before the next maintenance happens.

"Just shutting a plant off" on the other hand is not too difficult; for most plants and upstream systems "off" is the safe state, so all systems are designed to fail into that state, if they really have to.
Read Paul Allen memoirs. Bill Gates was a bully and very unprincipled. When co-founder had a cancer, Gates forced him out to cut his share. He also constantly bullied employees and cursed at them. You can also read a lot about his business practices in general. Totally unethical.

Gates has himself admitted himself that he was a bully, so I think we can all agree that he was not a nice CEO.
What is f'(0), the derivative of f at 0? It doesn't even exist, therefore it has no discontinuity at 0.

Darboux's theeorem says that there is no way to create a jump in the derivative, in part because a derivative at a point is defined in terms of limits from both sides, so the limits must be the same.
You could debate this all day long for various values of "sophisticated." I think the author just meant some variation on "amazingly devious."
I think a lot of "information" on the internet these days is little more than noise.

News site: "Click-bait headline about something that happened that doesn't really change things."

Reddit: "A picture or anecdote about something perfectly mundane that happens to everyone, presented in a slightly interesting way that ultimately doesn't matter"

Hackernews: "A random tech article that expresses someone's opinion, or a random release of software or announcement. Doesn't really matter."

The information most likely to spread is mundane information that appeals to the most people. Welcome to the viral internet.

At least Hackernews frequently surfaces interesting content with technical depth and merit. I've learned a ton here and gotten connected to interesting technologies.
Yep, totally agreed. I would have benefited from a gap year or four.
I'd much rather code on a whiteboard than do a take-home assignment. I may be in the minority but I rather suspect I'm not the only one.

I can understand that some people find whiteboard coding really stressful. I never have, and I have found take-home assignments to be a huge time-sink which typically results in minimal feedback (and sometimes none at all).

Maybe the right thing to do is to just give interviewees a choice.
> Uh, that's mostly not what judges spend their professional careers doing or what lawyers spend their academic careers doing.

I disagree, based on my academic experience preparing to be a lawyer and my nerdy conversations with my friends who are judges.

You could just learn the rote practice and skip jurisprudence entirely, but everyone on the supreme court understands the phrase "canon of construction" by this point in their career, along with various other meta-rulemaking principles.
I'd be okay with that. I spent a few months in 2016 re-learning statistics and getting a handle on ML and other topics. I have a PhD in a related field. It was a no-brainer for me. NOT ONE JOB locally. None. Gave up the search in abject failure and went back to Java land.

> agile is a culture as much as it is a project management methodology,

Agile is a culture about project management methodologies, which unfortunately is extremely resistant to actually adopting methodology that reflects it's overt cultural values. Largely, IMO, this is because the agile community has been very bad at operationalizing the “over” statements in the Manifesto into mechanisms by which the right side items are subordinated to the left side items. This results in (for the first statement in the Manifesto) either dysfunctional interaction and demotivated people from constant conflict resulting from the absence of processes and tools, or the adoption processes and tools in a manner which does not respect people and interactions, merely because someone has labelled the tools “Agile”.
Sorry for that. The timeout behavior on earlier kernels is a bit of a pain.

There's a lot to love about NVMe and timeouts are not actually part of the NVMe specification itself but rather a Linux driver construct. Unfortunately, early versions of the driver used an unsigned char for the timeout value and also have a pretty short timeout for network-based storage.

As mentioned elsewhere in the thread, recent AMIs are configured to avoid this problem out of the box.
I would say the non-programming part, the theoretical investigation is really easy. Plus the majority of data science do data cleaning 80% of their time.
Can you clarify your point here? That Jobs shouldn't have listened to John?
We are far apart in our view of the industry and that's OK, but I feel I work in the fashion industry, not an engineering one, which is what I wanted to stress.

There is too much confusion around and way too much marketing, it all seems new and it is not, which does not mean it is good, it depends.

One might argue that your company doing the "custodial" data work over the past few weeks and building in the mechanisms in order to handle that data in a more nuanced way is something that should have been done beforehand, and that the fact that you had to take time out to look at it means the law is doing exactly what its drafters wanted it to do.
Yes, the root volume on i3.metal is exposed as NVMe and is EBS-backed.
How many data scientists really do theoretical investigation? From what I see not too many. It feels a little like looking only for devs who can write complete operating systems and then having them write CRUD apps.
> the problem with agile was that the sales people would insist on always adding some extra tool for a fixed price.

What does that have to do with agile? That seems to be a problem that would occur, and be problematic, independent of development methodology.

> We had no choice but to abandon agile.

Seems to me you should have abandoned the offending sales people.

I think for something to be sophisticated we are looking at the metric that differentiates fine wines and cheeses from plebeian non-fine wine and cheeses.

If we can just capture that essence, we will wield the power of sophistication in our hands.
I don't think data science would be a hot job if advances in data engineering (arguably, another ill-defined term) hadn't been achieved. Because of this I like this definition of data scientist, although I can't remember where I read it:

"A data scientist is someone who knows more about statistics than your average software developer, but more about software development than your average statistician".
> How long is necessary?

As long as is needed for the stated purpose. If you're doing IP-based rate limiting with a 1 hour window, it probably doesn't need to still be in your systems >12 hours from now. If you're doing longer term IP reputation or something, keeping it around longer can probably be justified.

> What does limited mean?

The same. Long enough to serve its purpose, and no longer (without justifiable exception, such as being evidence of an actual crime, etc)

> Does a regulator now get to determine what sort of algorithms I can use

Not really, any more than they already do.

"Not guilty, Your Honour; you see, we do store people's HIV status against their real names on the public blockchain, but don't worry, it's ROT-13 encrypted! Twice!"

Also, remember that it's not really the IP that you care about (from a privacy perspective). An IP+timestamp is a very discerning selector, if you have any other data at all.

Nobody knows that '192.168.1.1' is actually me. And even if they did, does it really matter?

But maybe they know that only $IP hit /orders/confirm within 5 minutes of some other system recording that $ME placed an order with other details.

From a privacy standpoint, it's your ability to cross-correlate that IP and whatever else you know about it that could allow identifying and tracking/profiling the actual person using it.

Suppose your marketing dept asked you to scan the last few weeks of security logs to see if you'd had any hits from ranges belonging to $BIGCORP who you're in tense negotiations with? Is that Ok? Or would you refuse because the security logs are collected exclusively for certain purposes of which that isn't?
If you make a profit in America you'd better believe that the US government wants a share of it (there are exceptions if you sign a W8BEN and ask for a tax exemption based on existing international treaties) but the default position is that you pay tax on profits made in foreign countries -- and this applies for any country in the world that has something resembling a capital gains tax.

If you sell electronics that are a fire hazard, you can be punished for breaking consumer laws. I mean, for an extreme example, if you sell an illegal substance in America from overseas you can be punished for breaking those laws too.

Sounds like you may already be too good at data science to ever get any actual experience of it.
A leaked look at Facebook’s influencer search engine for advertisers
The important thing here is that primarily good MMA has been bundled with the CLASSICS Act. From the EFF commentary:

"The CLASSICS Act gives nothing back to the public. It doesn’t increase access to pre-1972 recordings, which are already played regularly on Internet radio. And it doesn’t let the public use these recordings without permission any sooner. While some recording artists and their heirs will receive money under the act, the main beneficiaries will be recording companies, who will control the use of classic recordings for another fifty years. Important recordings from the 1920s, 30s, and 40s won’t enter the public domain until 2067. And users of recordings that are already over 90 years old will face the risk of federal copyright’s massive, unpredictable penalties."

This is much, much more about record labels getting money rather than creators of content. The industry already heavily rewards purveyors rather than generators; if anything, this makes things worse.
There's sophistication of the domain, and of the code. They are independent.

For example - it might take years of research to develop a formula for calculating something, but the final code can be very simple one-liner.

Skepticism about the EmDrive from Physicists has been nearly universal. There's always a few contrarians and heretics, but the consensus is what it is for good reason: it's best supported by the evidence.

This is not about "laymen" lacking comprehension, and the condescension doesn't help your case.

Except we have no idea WHY the engineer was trying to defend it. He might've been told previously by Jobs himself that their solution was "the" solution and that they wouldn't entertain alternatives.

Imagine how the conversation could've gone if the engineer had agreed with Carmack and Jobs didn't. "Well, yeah, that approach could be better...". Jobs would've probably cut him off for not towing the company line and fired him.
You know, when I'm interviewing someone my VASTLY preferred approach is to have them walk me through something they've coded that they're proud of. That's not aways possible, but often it is. Give me a good slow walk through your github repo and tell me where and why you made the choices you did, what the tradeoffs were, etc. . . Better than making some poor bastard jump through hoops on problems that only vaguely resemble the ones they'll be solving at work.

- You will live many lives, and will follow your own path leading to many places, rarely to the destination you intended to when you started.
- You will never be completely content, but will start to enjoy the journey more as you age.
- The path to being materially rich is long and may not necessarily bring you happiness you thought it would. Also that rich is a relative word, its meaning changes as you get more.
- Your real earning would be people you meet and stories you have to tell of your journey.
- Empathy will be your best gift to the world.

Because the EU business is not located in New York. It's located in the EU. By providing a service to an EU resident you are interacting across the US<->EU border and thus EU laws restrict what services you can provide across that border.

i do agree that it makes sense to use the stdlib where possible.

however i am a bit wary... my first "real" (but small) project in go was to process some xml. turns out the stdlib parser doesn't handle self-closing tags very well, and would simply not pick up some important content from files i was working with.

i would wager the json stuff is probably a much hotter code path so it's probably fine.

> all want them to do completely different things and none of them really understand those things

It's the HR equivalent of deciding to rebuild your solidly performing website with some hot new v0.1 frontend javascript framework purely because it's the new hot stuff. Perpetuated and reinforced by C-Suite level desires to appear trendy and cutting edge.

When I ran an Analytics/BI team, I was well aware of what I needed and wanted. But constantly had to fight to not have HR label open positions as Data Science roles.

Once I got them to start posting the position with Data Analyst and Data Strategist titles instead, the team satisfaction scores and attrition rate markedly improved. The (very competitive) pay rate and actual work was the same as it was under Data Scientist titles. But it better scoped the candidate pool and aligned expectations up front, rather than hiring a bright-eyed and overqualified Masters/PhD graduate and being the company that disillusions them to the reality of most "data science" roles.

Although I can understand the desire to ride the hype train for those executives. Being pragmatic improved my team and benefited my company, but cost me the ability to add Data Science as a buzzword to my resume, and "Created, managed, and scaled a Data Management and Operational Analytics/BI organization" doesn't have as much market value.

I think this understates it; it required a deeper understanding of the vulnerabilities of those operating systems than anyone else in the world, including the creators of the operating systems
So everything should be written out explicitly, because you'd rather complete a checkbox-ticking exercise rather than thinking about it and do the correct, ethical thing in good faith?

Sounds like a win for the GDPR to me, we know rigid checkbox-ticking is ineffective.

Apart from that, NIST 800-53/800-171 are catalogs of "security controls and associated assessment procedures" for "Federal Information Systems and Organizations". GDPR is a data protection regulation in the context of the EU legal system. Apples to oranges.
Including the magic words 'dang' and 'please' can sometimes fix this.

Some secrets keep themselves.
A boot camp probably won't tell the process to make sure a linear model is the right choice. It probably also won't tell you when you should and shouldn't use k-means. And in most cases you probably won't have very good answers as to the certainty of your models.

Imagine you're hiring someone to build a house for you. Would you feel comfortable with someone who's just been drilled on how to use individual tools? I would want someone who had been taught a step by step process for how to put together a house.
Any (non-pathological) terminating computer program (including a non-terminating program that includes a step to forcibly stop at a certain clock time) has a closed form, it's just phenomenally complex. :)
There is a bigger problem with GDPR compliance.

Say I use a DDoS prevention service (like cloudflare). They get my user data, and also have to be under scope of GDPR as well. And since IP isn't indicative of EU citizenship status, a company had better apply GDPR to everything rather than just a subset.

In the end, this law makes a "We respect the privacy of your data" subset of providers, and provides a great way for us users to identify bad actors (Google, FB, Amazon, etc).

Ah, I see. This is a definition other than the one I understood, which is most assuredly less precise than the one understood by people who have extensively studied analysis. (This being the internet, let me be very clear that I'm basically saying my definition was wrong.)

(I'm pretty decent in mathematics in the general sense, reasoning from axioms, proofs, etc. But as I came up on the computer science side, I'm very lopsided into discrete mathematics, which is a bit unusual. Almost every other way to become a good mathematician makes you lopsided into real analysis and the fields that build on that.)

This is inaccurate. Copyright has been extended to cover fictional characters for instance.
