If these were real grievance hearings, both parties would be able to be present during each other's presentation, cross-examine witnesses, and present (and/or challenge) evidence used to make a decision on what to do with the employee.

Could it become a circus? Yes, if procedural ground rules are not well-defined and enforced by the moderator of these sessions. One of these should be the obvious "don't interrupt each other while one side is speaking".

I know these aren't supposed to be formal legal proceedings by design, but if the parties cannot question each other -- or even hear what the other has to say! -- then there seems to be a strict upper bound to the degree of "truth" that a jury could uncover during this process.

EDIT: I didn't notice your disclaimer when I wrote this; I absolutely did not mean to give off the impression that you or your colleagues @ Amazon didn't take your responsibilities as appeal committee members seriously or didn't do your job properly. Hopefully you didn't take it that way, but re-reading this thread made me want to clarify.
I do imagine it will get harder to deal with the "density" of processed food as I get more fit and closer to ideal weight, because calorie dense foods will hit the limit rather quickly.

Thankfully, I like plenty of non-dense foods too and can adjust the balance without cutting any desirable foods completely
It would be pretty interesting to see one or two of the bots playing with humans on their team.

I don't agree. Restaurants have servers as usual.
> It is unclear whether any of the drugs were ever sold at a premium over the original purchase price.

The number one reason for addicts to get into the business of selling drugs is to support their own habit - you can only do that if you turn a profit, even if you put that profit right back into buying drugs for yourself.
Included "directly" very intentionally. I'm of the mind set that you never give government subjective authority over something. You put up very strict guardrails for their power. "Indirectly harming others" is way too subjective and leaves far too much room for abuse of power/corruption. I don't judge laws by their best meant intentions, but by their worst case scenarios.

The "sparse blue graph" is just the binary win loss outcome - learns ok-ish but slow

The "dense orange graph" - uses more dense rewards - kills, health - and learns better. I referred to this as a "sparse reward" - since it is still a fairly lean and sparse function.

But this is just my opinion. Also note this is for the older 1v1 agent.

The current reward function is even more detailed, and they blend and anneal the 5 agent score, so i dunno...

Absolutely. People are using ML for plenty of difficult problems. In operations research, a lot of time is spent coming up with heuristic solutions to hard optimization problems. This problem is plenty hard for people to do. There has been some recent work in using ML to create solution methods, like the paper Learning Combinatorial Optimization Algorithms over Graphs (https://arxiv.org/abs/1704.01665).
Except the early adopters don't need to actually participate in the network, just acquire and hoard tokens. There's almost no connection between the profits and the actual advocacy, resources and risks required for the network to succed.

So the incentive structure is quite different from, say, the stock market or even a kickstarter. It's more like a tradeable Ponzi with strong incentives to overpromise and overhype in the early phase, and to get out when the valuation approaches the claims without actually delivering anything more than yet another speculative asset.
I think the "issues" they are talking about are not necessarily the ones that ops people are meant to solve, but about the issue of ops acting as "gatekeepers" that often create perceived friction in the deployment(and even development) process. By Docker putting the power of what prerequisites are made available to individual applications running on servers, it bypasses the middle-man and gets the job done faster. That's not to say there aren't trade-offs when using Docker with ops as a service, but some (usually developers) would say the trade is worth it. Let's just hope they are writing their Dockerfiles with security in mind. :)
It's not an emotional argument, if a vegan diet requires 1/10th of the acreage, then it requires 12 dead mice as opposed to the 120 dead mice + _whatever animals you're eating_ of the meat-eating diet.

A meat eating diet inherently requires more acreage due to thermodynamics. It works like this: 20 acres of grain feeds 10 cows which feeds 1 person for a year, therefore 240 dead mice and 10 dead cows. An omnivore's diet inherently requires more acreage, therefore more dead mice and all the cows, chicken, fish, &c. you're eating.
If your restaurant offers the same experience as a fast-casual joint, except your prices are higher... is your food going to be better?

If you’re offering the same thing as Chipotle but at integer multiples of the price, maybe the one that’s overpriced is you, not the servers.
You are I think jumping to your conceived ideas about how labor law works if labor law and precedent says that this is how it is.

We have run into the same issue before. Many third party services like Optimizely for example just stuff all their tracking information into a cookie, serialized as JSON, which you as the site owner don't really have much control over.

The problem is not that they wouldn't be able to parse the cookie, it's that Akamai edge node web server (Nginx or Apache, don't remember) rejects any request with a header that's above a certain size. Your origin server doesn't even get to know that there ever was such a request.

See https://maxchadwick.xyz/blog/http-request-header-size-limits for example.
Ah! I figured out the underlying reason: in the default configuration the PSK isn't per-peer-pair, it's per server. That makes a ton more sense! You get to keep the relatively simple key distribution mechanism, keep identity despite a team-shared PSK (that's what signing solves), and you get PQ resistance.

(The problem this addresses is a passive observer who eventually gets a quantum computer, but can't pop any machines to just steal the PSK or whatever.)
Things are slowly moving out of 111 8th as Google bought the whole building and is not renewing leases for certain tenants. Most traffic exchange happens at places like 60 Hudson for Manhattan and then a whole bunch of newer, modern, low and wide purpose built datacenters (mostly 1998 and later dotcom 1.0 boom and onwards era) in NJ across the river.
The tit didn't start with the Trump tariffs, but Trump also effectively stopped TTIP negotiations, and TTIP would lower trade barriers between US and the EU. This was a prelude to the current trade war with the EU. Which is very unhelpful, he should just concentrate on China.
I've seen employees succeed at PIPs.

If there are explicit goals or metrics to be measured, which I have seen in many cases, it's pretty clear what needs to be done to clear it. If they don't meet those goals, and they're attainable (e.g. other people in the same role are performing that well on average), it's a pretty clear defense for a lawsuit.
Or the ones that do want it enough don't have the means and the tools to de-marginalize themselves.

In this caae, I hope you're seeing the (sad and obvious) irony.
The problem with the blockchain is that it is distributed, so it can be inefficient and difficult to gather all of it in one place.

Imagine all the data already stored in one place. This base is private, entirely yours and it can be encrypted. Only authorized users have access.

This base of data -- I wish there was a better word -- is going to be the next big thing.
there could be a land/resource tax on top, for property owners. If you own land > $200k in value, you'd pay a specific tax on the land, if you use resources you pay a tax on that on-going including:Water, Coal, Natural Gas, Oil - if it comes from the earth, it'd be taxed.

I've heard of schemes that involve fully paying for GBI using ONLY land/resource taxes, but I think that wouldn't be enough to pay for things. But we don't need a military as big as we have, there's lots of places we can cut corners and spend less money.

WE need to explore our budget and use tech to lower costs across the board as much as possible and streamline things.
Wait staff in the US earn more than wait staff in Germany, France, and Italy. Your supposed humane wage is less humane than the US wages being paid. The cost of living is also higher in Germany and France than in the US.

Median waiter pay in the US: $20,820; mean: $25,280 (per the BLS).

Mean waiter pay in Germany (the median is always lower): $16,500 to $18,000 (depending on your source). Germany pays atrocious waiter wages.

The US pays about 40-50% more at the mean for its waiters, while having a lower cost of living. If the German mean is that low, I hate to see the median ($14k?).

The French average at near $21,000 is about 16% below the US average, and is barely above their required minimums:

"French waiters are paid, on average, 1,495 euros [$1,749] a month, only a shade more than the statutory minimum wage, and they usually expect some sort of tip. "

It's funny, though, that it's often very easy for an outsider to predict these kinds of shifts in processes, because they have no vested interest in the status quo and are evaluating everything with fresh eyes.

As a kid growing up with computers in the 90's, I knew IBM was doomed. Why? Because buying an IBM-brand PC when a clone cost 1/2 the price and did exactly the same stuff was ridiculous, and Microsoft owned the software you actually used (and had to make sure all your apps were compatible with). Older folks would tell me "Well, IBM makes most of its money selling to enterprises, and they can charge millions of dollars for a computer" and I'd be like "Why would you do that when you can buy a PC for a couple thousand and hire a high-school kid to program it for you?" and they'd mutter something about transaction processing and customer support and how nobody got fired for buying IBM, and I'd be like "That's stupid. Their customers are all going to go bankrupt, and then IBM will too." I was a pretty insufferable teenager, but I was right about a lot of that.

I'm 37 now, I've lived through four generations of technology (PC, web, mobile, and cloud) and retrained for each, and I find I need to make a conscious effort to try and see everything through college-student eyes. If I were a new grad just coming out of school, how would I evaluate the world? And I try to keep that in mind whenever I read eg. a thread on crypto here. The total volume of all data on the Ethereum blockchain is roughly what I would process in 10 minutes with a small MapReduce when I was working at Google. But it's very likely a college student today would be like "So? What's the point, when nobody trusts the answers you give them because you're just a giant corporation that keeps all your data secret?"
I love the way the video showed the border fluctuations over time.

Any criticism of "precision" is kind of pointless - even today it is difficult to determine population any many countries or cities. Population is too fluid. What is important is relative size not exact mathematical precision.

Totally fair point. I don't intend to mean that blockchain works right now for storing all of this efficiently, but I know people are working on solutions to this. Steemit uses https://ipfs.io/ which I am not super familiar with. http://swarm-guide.readthedocs.io/en/latest/index.html is another.

Another possible solution is something like Torrent, not everyone needs to have a replication of every single file - it's spread out but decentralised enough.

And then a non blockchain solution to this is: https://tent.io/ which from what I understand is more similar to an email protocol for social networks.

I didn't go into too much depth in any of the points. I am not super invested in this space, nor up to date completely. It's just been an interest of mine since 2012 and i've been also trying to come up with real life use cases that blockchain could solve well.

Unfortunately, traffic patterns are not straightforward, which can be seen by performing a traceroute to an arbitrary destination. How would a cdn enforce such traversal restrictions, when att is much of the internet?
Healthy calorie deficit is depends on one's weight. There is a rule of thumb: it is considered healthy to lose about 1% of weight per week. This gives us 40% per year. This guy lost 41% in a bit less than 11 months and his progress is quite linear, so I beleive he is basically okay, maybe a little on the rough side, but far from the extreme fasting.

Miranda v. Arizona was decided over 50 years ago. How relevant is the behavior of SCOTUS 50 years ago to predicting their present-day behavior? The membership is completely different, and there have been countless other changes in law and American society and culture over that period. (I'm not necessarily disagreeing with your point, which may well be right, but your example might not be the best example to demonstrate it.)

(And especially considering that the present-day SCOTUS has been accused of repeatedly eroding Miranda v. Arizona, see especially Berghuis v. Thompkins in 2010.)
As far as I can tell, paying out vacation time isn't depending on anything; the company is obligated to pay that no matter what.

Removal of trade barriers is a net good, benefits are not distributed equally, and historically have accrued more strongly to those who already have the money to take advantage of the decreased trade barriers.

Removing tariffs on manufactured goods between the US and China, for instance, strongly benefits people who can set up factories to take advantage of the cheaper labor and materials. It weakly benefits consumers who get slightly (if at all - corporations might just take the difference as profit depending on the level of competition) cheaper goods, and it disadvantage all of the working class that now has to compete with cheaper Chinese labor.

This can be mitigated by income redistribution, funding for job skills retraining, and so on (although it kinda sucks to find yourself back at the bottom rung of a new field at 40 because you can't find job opportunities anymore) but, historically, these programs haven't received any funding, so it's pretty safe to assume they won't exist until proven otherwise.

When I used AT&T TV+internet a few months ago, this was still the old-style "click here to auth with your cable provider" -> [click the AT&T Uverse button] -> "thanks!" (they recognized I was on a hardwired AT&T connection so didn't require auth).

Is this something new? What was the flow? Do you have both AT&T internet + TV as well?
Except this wasn't the original Windows 95, this was OSR2:

"FAT32 was introduced with MS-DOS 7.1 / Windows 95 OSR2 in 1996" [1]

OSR2 fixed many nasty problems with the orig. Windows 95 which was released in the summer of 95. The next Windows 9x version was 98.

When I see people talk about Windows 9x I feel like they don't remember the negative. BSOD were common in Windows 9x. The first Windows version with which I've had a stable, satisfying experience was Windows 2000 (at work I did use some version of Windows NT 4; it could've been the network but it had quirks and was slow. Had to be early 10 min just to fire up computer).

I think you're doing blockchain and human ingenuity a disservice by framing the question that way. Many corporations haven't revolved around "solving a problem", but instead making existing solutions more efficient.

There were people letting out apartments before AirBnb, and there were taxi cars before Uber - yet we feel that these companies are making our lives easier.

Also your question is very much centered around your own world view. What about the Venezuelans who are mining bitcoin becauause theyir own currency is at an all time high inflation rate? Isn't that example enough to at least partially answer your question about how blockchain addresses societal problems?

I figured this was coming. Under living-wage isn't sustainable and that's how restaurants were operating while still making thin margins.

Except because everyone is too price sensitive with a race to the bottom on pricing, customer service is no longer valued. So we do away with customer service to keep the pricing the same rather than raise prices.

Yeah, he might be overestimating 2.5k mmr players, and there's also something to be said about the consistency by which the bot last hits. A human player would have a high variance of last-hit performance, while the bot will probably guarantee a minimum amount, thus ensuring a minimum set of items needed for the mid-game transition.

But my larger point is, the early game doesn't have a lot of strategic elements in it. You have to last hit, not die, harass opponent, get items. You can play it by the book pretty much. The challenge in early game is to be able to handle 5 different things at the same time. So there's never really a question of what to do, but doing it does require mechanical prowess, which we know bots can easily be better at, than humans.

The team composition chosen is very early game snowball oriented. So is the bot winning simply due to mechanical superiority and early game advantage? Access to last hits @ 10 mins, gold and net worth graphs would allow us to answer that question.

The lovely thing about FAT32 was that you could mount it from Linux which was a big thing back then. So for example, I could use WINE to run Counter Strike on Linux, and actually have a more stable experience than Windows 9x.
Conceptually it seems quite possible to automatically send alerts to the devs responsible when something in the container is out of date. It means that the containers have to be specified using supported methods, but I think a lot can be covered quite easily.
> But by following the protocol, they could easily switch providers, or integrate several clients that provide different features around the same data.

What you're suggesting is solvable by an open data standard and export/import features on software. A blockchain provides none of those by virtue of being a blockchain.
Correct. This is the only rational explanation for the inversion. There is nothing else to imagine about the negative (inversion). Whether the number is "gamed" or just a single statistic makes zero difference to what the market is actually saying about debt instruments: "we care about now than the future".

What is afoot, as you say, is clearly a lack of confidence in longer term markets resulting in a move towards keeping asset in cash. Or those strange commodities like gold.

I personally believe global markets are in for a rough ride very soon. Brexit is not going to help much either. DT is going to have no time for Twitter.
As mentioned that was only during 3 weeks or so that I took off. Short self-commitment is the only thing that works for me.
