I think it's fair to say that people who are not white males (such as myself) are more likely to be targeted by a wide variety of harassment, and that without their views it may be much easier to miss the issue. As a white male I don't get targeted by misogyny or racism (at least not anywhere near the scale that others have). Having people who have experienced that around to help guide the decisions for how to deal with it- and how many resources to devote to it, since most business decisions come down to money.

Also, we can all have biases without it meaning people are being racist. My parents like rock music, so I'm biased towards listening to that over country. I went to certain schools and that colored my world view. I once heard bias described as a heuristic the brain uses to make quick decisions- something that was extremely useful for primitive humans but which needs to be actively balanced in our complex society. A huge part of that for decision makers is exposing themselves to other viewpoints as a way to collect information they themselves wouldn't have gotten. There's a reason why companies have used things like focus groups and surveys to understand their customers- having more people who understand those customers in leadership at companies is an even better way to do it.
It can be done reasonably well without a neural network (look at the '{}' button in Chrome, or Hex-rays for C/C++).

Here is your problem:

> The reason that Madagascar is still on top of the vanilla game is grim: According to The Financial Times, it’s one of the few regions with the right climate that is also poor enough to make laborious hand-pollination affordable. While other countries, such as India, have dabbled in heavy vanilla production, huge swings in the international price make it a dangerous crop to grow widely

I'd find this unethical. Even if that's not a problem, automation/technology will bite you eventually, and this stuff will be grown around the world, reducing the price.
This seems like a truly terrible situation where when you get what you think you want it's not what you expected it to be, all tied in with a series of unfortunate events that seem somewhat predictable, i.e. delays on new things, people getting illnesses. In their rush to produce it may have been more prudent to get into a solid financial situation with their windfall. Then again this could just have easily panned out and we'd be talking about how this is the great new model for old companies. I think the real lesson is to remember that what separates good times from bad times can often be bad luck and illness. :(

> The connotations are attached to the people, not the word.

Language is a living thing.

If you reserve usage of certain terminology to specific people, then negative connotations can easily attach themselves to both of them in combination, thus fundamentally changing how positive/negative certain terminology is perceived by the general population.

We've been witnessing this live, in reality, for these past years: If you talk about "immigrant crime" often enough many people will see most, if not all, crime in the context of supposedly increasing immigration.

Completely ignoring any other contributing factors to crime, completely ignoring actual crime statistics and trends. [0]

Are biggest complaint has been the cold start time. I cant say we have enough production data to see how much its effecting clients though.. We dont have enough constant traffic to keep them primed...

We are all in with AWS so the code build, cloudformation and code pipeline all work really well with lambdas.
I'm using this for my upcoming SaaS, and I'm disappointed with the performance on mobile.

I thought it's due to React, but after Googling "react material UI slow" I found that it's the problem with the UI framework. Don't get me wrong, I like the design, I just regretful of not testing it on my phone much earlier.

It's more prone than my Pixel 2. I have both an iPhone X and a Pixel 2 in the same brand and style of case. They both only go in my left pocket, which only holds my phones (keys go in the right). I got them both at roughly the same time, but the Pixel 2 looks brand new (once I wipe the fingerprints and case-edge dust off) and the iPhone X has quite a few scratches near the bottom edge.
My company uses them as a “shim” to ingest custom data sources into a data warehouse. It produces a really elegant separation of concerns, where the fiddly custom part is isolated in the lambda. I wrote up a blog post about how this works: https://fivetran.com/blog/serverless-etl-with-cloud-function...
How do you know everyone else is not a "p-zombie", indistinguishable in any external way from a human such as yourself, but devoid of internal "consciousness"/"subjective experience". Even the mere logical possibility of p-zombies indicates that consciousness is unmeasurable.
I can't name any names for obvious reasons or give you more hints about what industry this company is in but I just did DD on a very impressive outfit that ran their entire company on Google's cloud platform, it held about 500T of data and held up amazingly well under load.

I was super impressed with how they had set this all up and they were extremely well aware of all the limitations and do's and dont's of that particular cloud implementation.

Obviously there is the lock-in problem, if you ever decide to move you have a bit of work ahead, so build some abstraction layers in right from day 1 to avoid hitting all your code if that time should ever roll around.

And cultivate contacts with your cloud vendor.
Yes, at my last company we needed to generate Open Graph thumbnails that composited several images together. We decided to use a serverless architecture that basically shelled out to an ImageMagick command and then pushed the thumbnail to S3 which was served via a CDN. The main problem we ran in to was a lack of processing power, but the new options from AWS solved our issues. I'd definitely do it again.
The scissors seem like any other pair of steel scissors. I wonder why this hasn't been outsourced to China. These guys could have worked on something more productive than scissors.
You're probably not going to win an argument with a moderator by explaining to them the subtle logical error in the interpretation and purpose of their own guidelines.
Yes, our entire email attachment -> image processing pipeline is serverless on Lambda, written in JS.

So far, we love it. It handles roughly 20k images a day.

You are right that Cloudwatch logs are a hassle. So we pipe all of the log events into Scalyr (and log JSON objects, which Scalyr parses into searchable objects).

In terms of error handling, Lambda retries once on exception. So we raise exceptions in truly exceptional cases (e.g. - some weather in the cloud prevents a file from being downloaded or uploaded). We have Cloudwatch alerts that notify the team for every true exception. Happens less than once a day.

In pseudo-exceptional cases (e.g. a user emails an invalid image), we simply log to Scalyr with an attribute that identifies that the event was pseudo-exceptional, and then set up Scalyr alerts to email us if the volume of those events goes above x per hour.

tl;dr - Cloudwatch + Scalyr with good alerts and thoughtful separation of exceptions from pseudo-exceptions is my recommendation!

I agree that IRC is an obsolete protocol, but it's still sad that open standards lost the chat wars. XMPP improves on all of the things you mentioned but it looks like its moment in the sun has passed, and was never really used to its potential in the first place.
Wait, there is something after screen?

Kiwi IRC actually implements this and has a ZNC module being released soon for it. Hopefully soon, other bouncers.

These type of specs and actually getting them implemented in clients and servers is exactly the type of things the irc.com foundation will be supporting.
"Change is modification of a physhical attribute for an object."

This sounds like a circular definition because "modification" is a synonym for "change".

and I actually think this guy is innocent of the leaking charges. I also happen to think he's very likely guilty of the CP charges.

I think the opposite is true, but I’ll tell you what, I’d never reach either conclusion with so little information available and it all coming via one side. A prosecutor looking for an indictment isn’t an unbiased viewpoint, just like a defense attorney speaking on behalf of their client isn’t.
I don't have an X, but my 8 Plus (which I'm assuming uses the same glass and coatings) is, at only nine months old, scratched worse than any iPhone I've owned yet (this is my fourth iPhone; I upgrade about every two years).

Nah, that’s backward: you need to use Haskell if you have a PhD, because other languages are too hard and get in the way of research.
Main upsides of Ketamine for depression vs typical antidepressants (SSRIs, etc)
- Ketamine seems to have a much larger effect size (-~0.99 [1] vs -~0.35 for typical antidepressants [2]) [If anyone spots an error, please let me know]

For context, an SMD of 0.2 is small, >0.5 is medium, and >0.8 is large.[3]

Advantages of Ketamine vs other antidepressants

- Ketamine seems to have a much stronger antidepressant effect than our current antidepressants (To me this seems to be by far the most important/interesting thing)

- Benefits occur within hours rather than weeks

- Doesn't seem to interfere with sexual function, unlike many antidepressants

Main downsides of Ketamine for depression

- Much more expensive and normally not covered by insurance

- It's less well studied

- You have to go in for additional ketamine infusions to maintain the effects, it seems roughly ~1x a month long term

(The SMD for typical antidepressants seems to range from ~-0.13 to ~-0.35, with Tricyclic antidepressants slightly higher at around -~0.42.[4][5][6])

How do you propose filtering out the tech savvy vs. unsavvy folks needing support? I think a big problem with "tiered support" (shudder) is that the support folks on the 1st level are often less tech savvy than the people who actually need something fixed... but they deal with so many customers who don't actually have an issue to report that it makes it worthwhile.

Oh, the restart fixed youtube.com for you? Great! Have a wonderful day.

Written German and spoken German are somewhat different, just like written and spoken English are. You might find conversational German more legible.

There was an episode of Barney Miller where one of the cops was translating for a German woman. At some point she says "Das ist mein bebe." Bebe is pronounced very similar to baby and means the same thing.

I can't find a video of just the scene. It is Season 5, Episode 5 The Baby Broker.

The Daily Motion has the episode, but it keeps glitching on me. I haven't been able to get to the scene in question.

I also used to have German language resources that built on words that were readily understood by English speakers.

Yes but they are investigating our relative perception of the change. It's like studying astronomy without considering the fact that the stars we perceive in the sky is just our perception of how they looked like in the past. We distinguish how things are now from what we can perceive by measuring light and EMR. Why can't we at least consider the possibility that our perception of change might be different from the actual nature and attributes of this change?

Ask HN: Recruiting Responsibilities of VP Talent vs. VP Engineering?
My previous understanding was that VP Engs are responsible for engineering hiring. Is that wrong? How does a VP Talent fit into this?

For example, Snap seems to have a VP of Talent/People (VP People Jason Halbert) and a VP of Engineering (Senior Vice President Engineering Jerry Hunter). Both report to the CEO.

Semi-related, I love this article by Mike Bostock about using Make to capture some design/data workflows: https://bost.ocks.org/mike/make/

I fiddled with this idea and made a Makefile that downloads a book from the Internet Archive, extracts all the illustrations and tweaks them with ImageMagick: https://github.com/beardicus/bk-fig-phillips/blob/master/Mak...

This isn't the smartest Makefile... I've learned a bit since. Regardless, I find it really fun to smoosh a process into a dependency graph frame-of-mind.

Does anybody else have any examples of "non-traditional" uses of Make? Anything beyond compiling code or using it as a straightforward task runner?
Violet is not blue and it is also not red. I'm not asking for a bluish red but for a 100% blue color that it is also red.

You are misusing the language, or rather I am in this case, to ask a paradoxical question. Where are all the cat dogs? This is a never ending game because we don't agree on the language. This is exactly the realm of metaphysics.

And greatness is in the eye of the beholder. To me greatness could be quantified by how much progress has been made in answering the question. After a thousand years and possibly millions of lives wasted trying to answer "is there existence before this life?" we are not one single iota closer to an answer. That implies a pretty bad question that is not grounded in reality, or at the very least not "grammatically" grounded in reality.
Most use a websocket library like sockjs or socket.io which uses websockets and falls back to long polling if there's an issue with that.

Some IRC servers are starting to implement native websockets but that introduces several issues, so many networks use a websocket gateway to accept websockets to their network, such as https://github.com/kiwiirc/webircgateway

Then for IRCv3, most clients these days do support their specs in some form of way, and it's growing :)

The only thing stopping it in the US is the equal credit act. Most of these “novel” credit scoring solutions are just attempts to work around the race and other prohibitions in credit scoring.

99% off our sas analytics frontend is backed by aws lambda. I love not worrying about underlying infrastructure. We have close to 150 lambdas running our api. We do not use api gateway instead we use apigee. For logging we built a logging module that logs to kinesis then to s3 and elasticsearch. Hardly ever look at cloudwatch, those logs get expensive after a while so we only keep 3 days. We use node, python and java depending on needs. It's a good idea to benchmark your lambdas and determine the resource size, a little bump can have a dramatic difference in execution time but after some point you are just wasting $$$.
