When this happens (not if), I expect it will play right into the current administration's habit of dismissing anything that disagrees as fake news. For the administration that follows? Who knows? I only have evidence for right now.

I do think most of it will come from people lower down the political food chain (the meme creators, etc) who seek to convince others of their POV out of desperation and/or maliciousness.
Humans have an entire mini-brain - the cerebellum - for offloading motor functions. Our brains don't need to learn to walk; instead our brains must learn to train the cerebellum to walk.
Well, it's natural for humans to design the world for humans (though a good part of it now is designed for humans inside machines, ie cars).

Note, however, that most robots today actually operate in spaces designed for machines - ie, factories. Getting robots to operate in the "unstructured spaces" the article mentions is extremely difficult and hasn't been cost effective.

A large amount of gains in productivity have been achieved by substituting machines for humans, with "robots" just being the most programmable of machines. But very few of those gains involve direct substitution of machine movement for human movement - rather it's involved imposing structure on the whole productive environment so the rigid motion of a machine has a predictable result.
Do you know if the restrictions apply to the electronically assisted "e-bikes". They pretty much operate like a normal bike, but require minimal effort to go up hills.

I'm working as a full-time C/C++ software developer since 2009 (before 2014, it was mix C/C++, now only C++11/14). I worked in the second largest internet company in Russia as a backend developer of ICQ Instant Messenger. Then I moved to Sweden, I worked in two companies. Currently, I'm working in the Netherlands in video streaming company.

I'm highly interested in algorithmic trading and cryptocurrencies. So I'm looking for a job related to these topics.

However, I can be open for other opportunities if they strongly match with my technical interests:

* algorithms/discrete math (I'm comfortable with classic algorithms and discrete math used in competitive programming)

* deep learning/related math (I can't offer much here, know only fundamentals, e.g. good understanding of backpropagation algorithm, willing to learn more but not willing to became machine learning monkey blindly playing with frameworks)

* CUDA/HPC programming (I can't offer much, willing to learn)

* functional programming on Haskell or OCaml (I dived deep into inner working of Haskell one year ago, I forgot most of what I learned, but I'm willing to learn again)

Garry Kasparov has often accused V. Putin of maintaining his public influence by successfully attacking the idea that a verifiable truth can be established about his/oligarchical misdeeds. Surely, there are techniques to make educated assessments about the probability that [this] happened rather than [that] - but the public at large is neither literate in statistics nor receptive to uncertainty.
When necessary, they're called "kick scooters" and "motor scooters".

There are electric versions of both.

Probably half the younger children round here have a normal kick scooter. They can "walk" with their parents much further without getting tired.

Seedlang | Front-end Developer | Berlin | REMOTE, FULL-TIME | Salary + sizeable equity

Seedlang (http://seedlang.com) is a video-based language learning website that can be thought of as a combination of the best parts from Duolingo, Memrise, and Youtube. We just launched monetization a few weeks ago and are currently bootstapped, so we are not looking to hire quite yet, but expect to make our first developer hire within the next 4-12 weeks.

We use React / Mobx in the front-end, and Rails as a API server in the backend. I'm looking for someone to adapt our current codebase to React Native, so React Native eperience is a must. Interest in (spoken) languages is a huge plus! :)

Remote is totally fine, though Berlin is preferred.

I suspect that lower GPA students have higher variance but lower expectation outcomes than higher GPA students. Higher GPA students, at least when the coursework is serious, tend to be at least one of extremely bright and extremely conscientious (I would guess most are a little of the former and more of the latter).

The conscientious and prudent possibly have less tolerance for or interest in risk, so they're less likely to hit a home run, but their floor is pretty high.

At a more general level, I'm not fond of the common idea that people who are proficient in area x are probably deficient in area y (where area y is usually implied to be more important). It often seems to me like a face-saving technique for aficionados of area y.
HTC to cut a quarter of jobs after huge plunge in 2018 sales
Right, that's what I was explaining. A lot of people get tripped up by this because arr is equivalent to &arr, int arr[] is equivalent to int *arr as a formal parameter, etc, so many people go around with the idea that arrays are just pointers in C, like in the comment I quoted; it's an easy thing to get confused by. I was giving an example to demonstrate how they differ.

Well, it's not really as bad as some of these folks might be making it seem - the ones who say that what matters is what you can do more than where you went to school are more right than wrong. If anything, you'll worry more about your own "lower tier" education than anybody you actually work with. There'll be a few snobs, but their opinions won't matter enough to hurt you. I started taking classes in community college while I was still in high school (they had a special program for kids with an aptitude for math and science), and had completed an associates degree from a "junior college" before I finished high school. Only thing was, my two-year degree GPA was nothing to brag about at that point. Maybe if I was smarter, I would have just started back over as a freshman at a four-year university, but I wasn't either that smart or that motivated, so I transferred to a four-year college that would accept me with the academic transcript I had. (Also one close to home). Although I managed to bring my GPA up before I graduated, I still went to a college that doesn't even show up on the "US News and World Report" list of the "smart people" colleges. I don't think it's really hurt me; it might have slowed me down just a bit and cost me some opportunities that I'll never know I would actually have had, but I'm very comfortable where I am - don't sweat it, study hard, learn a lot, and enjoy being young.

Windfall Data | Lead Data Scientist, Data Engineer | SF | Full Time | ONSITE or REMOTE (US-based only)

At Windfall, our goal is to determine the net worth of every person in the world.
Its a super hard problem with broad applications. We work with hundreds of non-profit organizations across the US to help them better understand and engage their donors. We also work with for-profit companies in a wide array of industries (finance, travel, hospitality & gaming, luxury goods, etc) to help them better understand their clientele and targeting affluent households for net-new acquisition.

Our team is still fairly small so every new hire will have the ability to make a huge impact!

We're looking for:

* An experienced data scientist to lead our team in developing our predictive models. Data and data science are core to our business, so this role will be incredibly influential in the success of the company.

* A seasoned backend/data engineer to help build our data pipeline and other infrastructure.

Roles are onsite in SF, or remote for the right candidate with prior remote work experience.

You can still use the Gmail interface on your phone, of course. You don't have to choose between one or the other but use the tools interchangably with the same Gmail account.

Generate an app-specific token in Gmail and use it to configure git for sending mail. For receiving and commenting on patches, you might be able beat the Gmail interface into submission but it's not going to be convenient, if only for the browser restrictions on calling external commands (like git). Maybe with a browser extension.

In any case, you can use a real mail client in parallel to Gmail (the UI) and use whatever is the most suitable tool for the task at hand.

Lyft is doomed. They just can't keep up internally with what Uber is pushing into innovation. The boost Uber will get with their IPO will leave Lyft in the dust. Everyone needs an Avis and a Burger King I guess.

> The weird special cases were largely(1) introduced recently by optimizer writers hijacking the standard in order to soften the semantics so that previously illegal optimizations would now be legal, by simply declaring the vast majority of existing C code as "undefined" and up for grabs.

Citation needed.

Signed overflow being undefined behavior was a direct consequence of different hardware representations of numbers. Inserting the instructions required to catch overflow and make it wrapping would be expensive, at least on some systems.

The fact that arrays decay to pointers, C has no dynamic array support, and so on are decisions that go way back and more or less prohibit array bounds checking. After preprocessing, inlining, and various forms of optimization it can be very far from obvious that some random NULL check after the pointer has already been dereferenced is intentional and shouldn't be removed.

Things like overlapping pointers have always had undefined behavior in the sense that inserting the instructions to check for the overlap all over the place would have a large performance impact, no one would use such a compiler, and thus there is no market for one. The standards committee largely documented existing practices rather than inventing new undefined behaviors.

I keep seeing people like you claim we should just "fix" undefined behavior or the standards committee gleefully inserted undefined behaviors because they hate programmers. If you actually sat down and disassembled the C code you write then went through the exercise of inserting instructions to eliminate most types of undefined behavior I suspect it would be a very illuminating experience. I also doubt you'd be so certain of your position.
Hi, I am interested in this position.
Never thought of that angle. Now a strong social system would be resilient to either such attacks at large. Either by passing new laws, having crypto signed recording devices, strong judiciary etc for personal allegations. For the broad political discourse a robust societal framework would rebuff a lot of foreign attacks by their foreigners. Alas I’m not sure the US currently is in such a healthy state. You have to know and communicate with your neighbors for that.
Found out kids are constantly playing that game when wifi was disabled so they can focus on studying for a while, Google is absolutely evil(for god sake they removed that term and slogan recently), in that it makes chrome like a game console to get kids addicted to its platform, even when they are offline.

While firefox does not do this, it has addons that copies the same idea from chrome.

Browser is a browser, not an offline game console, darn it.
I haven't tried workspaces. Will I get better performance from my chromebook than just using cloud9? Cloud9 is also incredibly cheap.

We already have developed something. Only thing missing now is cultural shift in the media to apply a little bit of effort into signing videos.
It is a matter of mindset, multiple safe C variants have been attempted throughout the years.

Even lint was already available in 1979, yet hardly anyone used static analysis tools on C codebases.
Why not? As long as your program is standards-compliant, it should work on any computer with a working C compiler…
I would love any feedback possible, including thoughts on pricing. Any suggestions on finding users for this tool would be great too. Thank you to everyone in advance!

>There is much weight to the argument that the requirements to be a successful student have gone down, I'm inclined to believe that the requirements have skyrocketed.

I'm not so sure you are talking about the same thing as grade inflation. For a particular course, in most fields, the content has not changed in 20-30 years.

Most of my undergrad engineering classes have not changed in 20-30 years (with the exception of the software ones). I'm pretty sure if I look at the curriculum of, say, a circuits/EM/communications course today it will be the same as it was 2 decades ago. Math courses definitely have not changed much.

I agree with you about the ballooning bulk of knowledge to be successful, but not to get a better grade for a given course.

Can someone explain the economics of services like this? I just get the feeling that these bike-sharing services are running on a good sales pitch and a market which seems obvious but isn't really there.

There are probably four or five competing services in my city and yet I have never actually seen a single person actually riding them. There are certainly people riding bikes but it's always their own bike.

Complications I See:

- There's a pretty narrow window between a distance that's too far to walk but impractical to hire a car. And since ride sharing is super cheap for this use-case it's a tough market.

- It's useless if people are unfit to drive: injury, tired, drunk, etc..

- It's not great for going places with friends because it doesn't take a very large group before someone isn't fit to bike. Also, for 6 people each taking a bike is $24 for a 30 min ride. Any ride sharing company will be cheaper than that, you don't have to work, and you'll get there much faster than 30 min.

- Everyone except literally the current user of a dockless bike is going to hate them so you're limited to where the company has docking stations. They're going to be the fastest vandalized property.

- Anyone who's actually into riding bikes will just buy one. If you're going to be on them for an extended period of time you're going to want one that's light, comfortable, well maintained, and correctly sized for you. I would think these would be your loyal customers but it's exactly the opposite of what they want.

- Technically you're not guaranteed a bike back from wherever you go. Although in practice you probably will since in all likelihood you're the only user of this particular service.

- Your biggest market would be commuters who want to save on paying for a car/taxi/subway but people with regular destinations should reasonably just buy a mid-tier bike.
> It's the expert who can fall without getting hurt.

This is great, I'm definitely using this analogy in the future.
Wow. Must be quite a shock for you.

Do you know anything about the interactions between Cyberlore and NWC for The Price of Loyalty? I'm generally curious, as I lead a large modding project for that game. (I've gotten a couple case studies out of hacky Cyberlore code.)
In San Diego, it is legal to ride on the sidewalk, but pedestrians have the right away. I believe this stems from the city's desire to be bike friendly with their inability/unwillingness to fund proper and adequate bike lanes.
>it is illegal in the exact same conditions as IQ tests

And IQ tests are legal to give during hiring, in just about any form, if that result correlates to useful for that job. Since we're talking about jobs where IQ/GPA may well correlate to candidate quality for that position, this is not an issue.

You have to first show there is no correlation between GPA or IQ and job performance to claim it's not legal.

As a filmmaker I feel that completely distrusting a medium just because it is digital might be a little harsh.

I think that we may want to consider using cryptographic signature methods as a way to mark materials as coming from the source they claim to be from. Though this is not a perfect solution.

Though I still work with analog film, though it is becoming more and more cost prohibitive everyday. Analog can just as easily be altered. If you looked at a silver gelatin print, if the printmaker was talented you probably would never be able to detect the changes to the image that were made during the printing process. Is the resulting image a fake, or is it just an artists vision?
Ask HN: How to get a job with hacking convictions?
Background: Five or so years ago, I was arrested for hacking a bunch of fortune 500 companies. I ended up with a bunch of hacking and fraud convictions as long as a shopping list. I was also charged with multiple extortion offenses.

Since my arrest, I have been doing freelance security work and bug bounties (currently rank 11 on a popular platform).

I have applied for multiple security roles in cyber-security and usually have no problem being invited for an interview. However, when I get into the interview and mention my background - all communication ceases.

I am still relatively young and don't want to leave these events define my future.

Any advice?
