Ah yeah I agree it's not a terribly difficult concept to learn, but perhaps we have a different definition of graduate level math. Things like information theory are, at best, skimmed over in upper div math classes during undergrad. Having a solid understanding things like KL divergence, information entropy is just an indicator of one's overall math level, and if you are already there, you can consider yourself at graduate level.
Though I guess math used in ML is probably kids play comparing to a graduate level mathematician or physicist.
Usually in reports, if someone dies at the scene but is only officially declared dead at the hospital, they'll write a phrase like 'was declared dead at the hospital'. This report says instead that he was transported to the hospital 'where he died from his injuries'. Double-checking, media articles at the time uniformly describe him as dying at the hospital, and at least one says that he died in the afternoon ( http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2018/03/27/tesla-crash-inve... ) while the accident was at 9:27AM, so either traffic in the Bay Area is even worse than I remember, they like to spend hours doing CPR on a corpse, or he did in fact survive the crash and died at the hospital in a literal and not legalistic sense.

People will walk away from that article thinking that the suicide rate among taxi drivers in NY is high and that it has increased. Both things the article has not offered any evidence for, and which by the looks of things, are probably untrue.
There's a reason Sweden relies on the United States to provide new types of technology and services. Sweden is a nice neighborhood. It's not going to make anything that pushes industry or culture forward though. You need a messy, competitive place like America for that. Not an elaborate gated community.

Don't get me wrong. When I slow down and can't work anymore, I want to live in Sweden too. But when I'm young and trying to make a change in the world I would never go there.

It's a good place to raise kids and have a lifestyle though.
The true cause of this is cost disease. Housing, healthcare and education have exploded in cost. So it's no longer possible to work 40 hours at an unskilled job during the day to pay the cost of getting an education at night, because you have to work two jobs just to pay for housing and healthcare. Leaving no time, much less money, to go to school and get out of that situation.

This can't be solved with subsidies. That's half of how we got here to begin with -- offer to loan students $5000/semester and the price of school goes up by $6000/semester, because it's easy to sell a ten dollar bill for $14 when the government is paying the first $5.

We need to reduce actual costs so that people can afford things again. Increase the housing supply, eliminate medical and insurance bureaucracy, streamline the process for learning a trade and starting a small business.

So that people can work an unskilled job temporarily, instead of getting stuck there forever because they have to keep running faster just to stay in the same place.

I think Boeing already knew the answer to 'why not build a new super jumbo' which is, 'if there is a high market demand for that why aren't we selling more 747's'

Airbus could pretend there was a huge market for the A380 because they werem't selling into that market. Boeing though had been for 30 years and they knew a new superjumbo would just cannibalize their 747 sales.

Facebook changed the visibility of the already-posted posts that had the bad default, without regard to user intent. All they did was decide to do it.

Sure they have internal controls so a rogue engineer can't do it. But if Facebook, as a company, decides it wants to mess with your settings, it can, and it does.

This event is an existence proof of that.

The lack of meaningful systemic mitigation for "bad luck" is what I'm talking about with "punishment". It's why I quoted the word. You're drawing a stricter meaning than I think is apparent in my position, and making a semantic dodge around it.

At the end of the day, someone's life is still wrecked through no fault of their own, and "the system" — which is us — just stands there, all, "Sucks to be you."
I've done work in this space, and my stereo cameras are about to go airborne on Air Swimmers (Bruce the Shark :-) ) in my house. In the movie in the linked document its just looking around my office and showing parallax error - I have an app that lets it track, and I spent an afternoon trying to make it loose me - the only way I won was because I jumped from where I was, crashed into the toolchest, and fell to the floor - it actually tracked me successfully, what defeated it was the fact that I was using cheap servos and it snapped an internal axle on the cheap yaw servo when I hit the toolchest. We are helpless, there is no way around it, and there is absolutely nothing we can do about it except realize our survival lies in not going down this road. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/low-cost-high-volume-stereosc...
I've deployed a HaxeFlixel project to Android, a couple years ago. I'll be sure to consider this angle for a follow-up piece. Thanks! :)
“Audience setting” is internal speak for what you would call the visibility of a post. “review the audience” is unambiguous internal speak for: change the visibility setting.

I’m fairly certain that particular bug when through an emergency process and that the handful of copy-writers didn’t get to review. They are rather ruthless to pick those. I don’t remember what the grammar rule was to talk about visibility of the post, but I remember it was very specific precisely because of the distinction: who can and who has seen your posts.
I have personally seen a rickshaw driver in India say yes to some place that he doesn't know - resulting in him going to a wrong place, stopping there and inquiring for me with people nearby and then having someone look it up on google maps, and afterwards going in the opposite direction to clarify the proper place once more there.

And I'm certainly not thankful for the driver to have taken all this effort of solving the difficult problem of going somewhere that he doesn't know the road; I'm angry about the large unnecessary delay caused by them saying "yes" and then being unable to properly fulfil the promise they made, i.e. go to the goal as if they had known where it is, which they said (thus, promised) they do, and didn't. I wasn't asking "are you willing to take extra effort to deliver me to place X in some way" (which is a reasonable question that I might have asked in some circumstances, but I didn't in that particular case), I was asking "do you know the route to place X". I would be thankful if they had just said "no", as I would have had the chance to find someone who does know the proper answer themselves.

This is a significant cultural difference - in my country, answering yes when if you're not sure (and demonstrating the lie by being unable to fulfil the promise on their own) would result in that person's words not being respected anymore because that person isn't honest, and that person being shunned, not being trusted with anything serious ever again until they prove that they have changed significantly; a single incident being considered sufficient to mark the person as untrustworthy. Breaking a promise or telling a falsehood - even an implied one to a stranger - is considered a very serious issue. The problem with this when working with people in Asia is that within a few months a majority of Asian coworkers generally have had at least one incident similar to this (saying, i.e. promising something that wasn't so) marking them as untrustworthy. Of course, as with any difference, it's an open question which one of the cultures should adapt to the other, or meet in the middle, but that's a quite fundamental difference.

Yes. That's kind of the problem.
You should read Daniel Kahneman's "Thinking, Fast and Slow". It's not possible to make all the right policy decisions that are right in hindsight and before a sentinal event occurs. Hindsight bias is always 20/20. Anyone making real decisions of consequence will eventually curse hindsight.

Except the person on the US side who fought for and won the ability to outsource the project to save money is personally invested in success. He has decided this will make his career. So when it comes to fulfilling those contractual obligations, he will sign off on it, then bring it in house and try to quietly put together a team to fix the system to make it actually function.

This isn't just an India thing. This is how government contracts work in the US too. The government contracts out to Lockheed Martin for a big IT project (used to anyway, LM got out of the business on the civilian side at least), LM hires the cheapest 'talent' they can find, loading projects 80/20 management/engineering, drag their feet for a few years, and eventually someone on the government side decides they're going to make their career by being the person who brings this project across the finish line. So they ignore or lie about the requirements being fulfilled and drag the steaming mess in-house, while LM hosts a champagne-drenched celebration. Contracting has fundamentally perverse incentives.
USSR had prefab block high-rises for a very long time. Most current housing in Russia is pretty much that.
Well, "Don't kill anyone or commit any human rights atrocities" isn't exactly a high bar they're setting for themselves - especially when the list of no-nos is immediately followed up with "we're still cool with supporting the military-industrial complex in other ways though". The article isn't really a list of principles so much as a list of PR disasters they'd like to avoid.
It's not just social media. Everything was slower. If you wanted to learn about something, you had to take a class, or go to the library or bookstore and find some books. There was no Google, no Wikipedia, no Reddit.

In some sense this limited what you could accomplish but it also made you think about investing time and everything was overall more deliberate.

Now, there's no going back, but you can still choose to live your life at a slower pace. The world is only a blur if you choose to ride the merry-go-round.

The Manhattan Project resulted in a product. That product changed geopolitics. The discovery of alien life wouldn't produce a product and would not change geopolitics (unless those flying saucers really do exist and are nearby).

Nobody asserts that the discovery of alien life would produce a product. Instead, pundits carry on about “the implications for our understanding of our place in the universe” or some other such rot. That's the focus of commentary on alien life and that's what I critiqued in that essay.

The notification is so misleading: "X, we recently discovered a technical error between May 18 and 27 that automatically suggested a public audiance when you were creating posts"

My problem is the "suggested a public audience", makes it sound so minor, and really your fault for going along with the "suggestion".
I think that basically sums up the state of America in 2018.

I guess it's both good and bad, though. Bad because it indicates growth has left the U.S. and we're all doing a little worse than we expected we'd be doing. Good because if everyone is feeling persecuted, chances are we've actually got this equality thing down pretty well.

Ummm, have you heard about Bitcoin? Hacker News recently removed a well-written article where Bill Gates and Warren Buffet explain, in very clear terms, why it's a bubble.

By the time I made it to the comments page, the page showed the article as flagged.

(Basically, anyone who understands distributed systems knows Bitcoin won't scale. Anyone know understands economics knows that a deflationary currency won't work.)

Look at Bitcoin for an example of where the experts are ignored.
On a geopolitical level, it does. It's far better for the world that the United States developed atomic weapons before either Germany or the Soviets did.

Having been suicidal for a number of years myself and having overcome it, in my case it was fixable. People suggesting that unfortunately may not be familiar with something as agonizing as a genetic disorder, and I'm sorry for what you're going through.
Trust is like a mirror: you can fix it if it's broken, but you'll always see the crack in that motherfucker's reflection.

Where do you plan to announce when you're ready to name names? I may have some need in the future to use a VPN in China and would like to be aware.

> The dilemma is that leaving social media is increasingly tantamount to leaving society

This seems to be an opinion often stated as fact. We all have the power to end the hopelessness. Anyone can take the first step by leaving “social media” behind. You might find that the world indeed goes on without it and is even better/richer!

Likewise, "not having a car" doesn't mean "never leave the house" (source: I don't have a car, leave the house occasionally).

I can appreciate having a car can be useful, but I'd not call it a necessity. Perhaps things are different in the US of A. The perceived poverty threshold is a lot higher. In many countries, if you have clothes, a roof over your head, and can eat regularly, you're good.

Ever notice how Republican presidents are always portrayed by partisan liberals as blithering idiots (Bush II as a religious fundamentalist warmonger dunce; Trump as an narcissistic ADD loose cannon dunce)?

And how Democrat presidents are always portrayed by partisan conservatives as morally corrupt degenerates (Clinton as a murdering, philandering drug kingpin; Obama as a Kenyan-born Muslim homosexual on globalist puppet strings)?

Usually I just assume this is confirmation bias + partisans being partisan.

But sometimes I like to wonder, "What if it's all true?"
The site was not that bad a few years ago, but I guess this new structure sells better for some companies.

is that hard to do? yes, it is also hard to do nuclear power safely, and also hard to build huge offshore oil rigs, but we can do all of these things.
This is pretty apples-to-oranges. You see things like this in a lot of less dense U.S. areas as well. But in the crash example, it's right in the middle of an interchange, with the lane needing to form and rise quickly. Additionally, the gently rising metal barriers aren't safe in many situations because of their ability to launch cars. That's why they've been replaced by crash attenuators and sand/water barrels. Unfortunately the crash attenuator wasn't replaced after a recent (<1 week ago) accident, ensuring the next accident was fatal.

Here's an accurate U.S. analogue to your example: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.0286482,-102.1517159,3a,75y,...

Meanwhile, here's a Dutch example: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.9305956,4.4371182,3a,75y,66....

Turns out sometimes you need crash attenuators because space isn't infinite. Also, there's no grass in sight here.

Here's another example: https://www.google.com/maps/@51.9239112,4.4203482,3a,67.8y,2...

No sloping barriers, because they're not always safer.
It's very very tense right now, under the surface. It would be very interesting to know what proportions of the population broken out by 5-year segments have adequate employment and stable housing. I have a notion that things are going to unwind in a rapid exothermic way at a certain critical level of age & responsibility. At 18 you can tolerate a fair bit of risk; at 35, married with a kid, you want to move out of "survival" mode. I would guess that as the "millenials" trailing edge gets into mid-late 20s, changes will be aggressively pushed to a far harder degree. The post-millenial generation is said to be a fair bit socially different (but I havn't looked into how that change is transpiring) - and they will have an even shorter end of the stick.

Speculatively, an interesting project would be to build out a dashboard to deduce instability based on age & employment.

None of that relates to software, but we see software face to face. I think software is the most affluent part of society right now in general. Other industries appear to be much more unequal with their workers much more exploited.
They aren't that famous if you don't recognize them after bumping into them.
Totally agree on the higher tier, also because there are plenty of things you will value more just because it charges a higher price. For a freelancer or agency who needs this because they've been screwed over before, it might even make the service appear more trustworthy, that you're charging that much because you are offering security. A few hundred a year is nothing for a bit of peace of mind and some protection against a client skipping payment and running off with your code.

Anecdotally, a place I previously worked at raised all of its prices and tweaked the available plans (with some A/B testing involved) and internally it was incredibly controversial and made a lot of people unhappy as we were implementing it. When the testing period was over and all was said and done, few people complained about the price hikes and far more people either just accepted it or went for an upgrade.

I think it's very easy for a startup to completely underestimate the value it provides and assume that nobody would pay more if they had to. But maybe that's just a bias because you don't tend to hear about the companies that failed for charging too much. (Not that I would suggest you blindly follow this advice!)
