do you really think the world would be a better place without the guy who's been pushing for cars to go electric, and drastically lowering the cost and practicality of space launches? There's plenty of people who I wish didn't have the impact they do, but Elon Musk isn't one of them. Sure, he makes mistakes, but in contrast to what he's been able to achieve those mistakes seem very permissible.
After the big pan-european city teardown of the mid-twentieth century that was mostly invented in Berlin, people have grown kind of fond of the surviving buildings. If anything gets torn down in Berlin to build new highrises it will be existing, unfashionable highrise. Plenty of those available for teardown, just not at popular locations. Not popular precisely because they are not surviving pre-war stock.

If the role is related to AI, and the interviewer wants to know about previous experience, does "Making a bot smart enough to fool your HR department" count as a demonstration of skills?

The HR department is already using AI to filter candidates. It's called Applicant Tracking Systems. It's a thing [1] [2]. If the companies are using bots against the candidates, why should candidates not use bots against the companies?

I am usually not one for dismissing a language for syntax alone, but, the syntax for arrays versus lists feels very cumbersome. Can an experienced OCaml developer tell me how common it is to use lists versus arrays?

I can only imagine how many bugs I would type at this stage of my career after being used to [] for arrays but forgetting the pipe, and getting a list instead. It's also very difficult to type.
You can disable Smart Reply from the mobile apps, the setting isn't there on Web yet. Honestly we just haven't prioritized it yet.

Here's some info on how it works if it helps address your concern: We've transformed the language generation problem into a labelling problem. From a systems point of view it's not any different from spam filtering, or tabbed inbox, and we use the exact same features. Smart Reply uses a whitelist of around 30k independently generated & sanitized phrases. You could think of each whitelist entry as a label. So when an email comes in on the delivery pipeline we just label things, like we've always done. We label (spam/not-spam) for spam filtering, we label (promo/social/update/forum) for tabbed inbox, and we label (Thanks!/Sounds good!/etc/etc) for smart reply.
Back then we had conscription, and all the conscripts had to stand guard duty every so often. Every single person was glad to hand in the weapon and ammunition the next morning, because "when you stand guard you have one leg in prison". The level of discipling with US police is truly unimaginably low.
Yes, that is what a society is; we all work to support one another in one way or another.

The only real question is what that support looks like. For most of the Western world, it includes things like paying women for maternity leave, and not complaining or acting like this is a big controversial idea.

Or Vancouver. Singapore and Vienna is really a counter argument more than anything else. These are places were the government have significant control over, and are essentially undermining, the housing market. This isn't changing zoning a little bit. In Singapore the government acquired most of the land. And Austria is spending the equivalent of a defense budget each year on housing subsidies alone.

> Companies have a basic duty to run themselves ethically and obey laws and regulations.

Externalities exist. Companies cannot pretend they operate independently of the communities they're based in.

They also can't shut their ears. Even if local zoning laws are at fault, these companies which spend lavishly on lobbyists at the national and provincial level, don't seem to be agitating for local change to improve housing conditions, which would better both their employees' quality of life and their own public perception.

I took two courses. It is electrifying, and a great new way of looking at the world.

But of course, when I was done with the course, I looked at where I could make some money doing permaculture. There were, as far as I could see, two ways:

* teach

* do landscape design

The first is much much easier to get into and isn't as hard as the latter. I think that is why you see so many courses.

I have applied permaculture to my land and my life, even though I can't make money from it directly.

"Article 13 in question was already rejected once by Parliament"

Without real numbers, like AdWords vs Profile Ads, one has to rely on common sense, in my sense, profiling is a gold mine. Below is a random quote I Googled up :)

The Solidity language is deceptively low level, which partially stems from implementation details related to how the solc compiler chooses to implement language features.

Developers coming to Solidity from a language like Javascript or Python expect names in objects (~Contracts) to be significant determinants in terms of where the data associated with those names are stored. This is due to Javascript objects basically being dictionaries.

I think this problem could have been avoided early on if the storage locations of contract variables were derived from keccak256 hashes of their names. This type of implementation decision, though, would likely require disallowing shadowing of contract variable names in inheritance hierarchies (something I think is a good idea).

If you're not familiar how the solc compiler compilers Solidity to EVM, then using a keccak256 to determine where in persistent storage a value is placed might seem kind of crazy. In fact, this is par for the course. For example, solc implements Solidity key-value mappings by hashing the key along with some other stuff, and then writes the value into memory. This means that mapped values are spready out wildly through the persistent store -- so why not do this for variables?

Perhaps the seminal academic paper is "Oberon - the Overlooked Jewel" by Michael Franz of University of California at Irvine.

This is essential reading to understand its relevance in computer science.
The contemporary American conservative's use of the word "socialism" seems so meaning-free, it's a stand-in for "things I don't like" or "whatever libtards want".

Can you elaborate on what socialism you think people are voting for?

Cause right now we don't have free education--we have massive loans we award to children that can never be disposed of.

We don't have free health care--we have the worst of both possible systems, with only now a real national discussion about bringing our horrible health care in line with literally the rest of the western world.

Where's this socialism people keep voting for, and when's it going to start reaching us and affecting our lives in a meaningful way???

> Where would you put that button? right next to the Undo Send link? Where, in the rare panic to Undo Send... it might be hit accidentally?

"View Message" has already had this effect of preventing undoing, and it's been sitting next to "Undo" for the longest time. So yes, it could be there. Heck, View Message itself should probably just send the email immediately, since delaying after it's clicked is pointless. But in any case, I don't particularly care where the option is; I'm sure UI designers can come up with something. It could be in a drop-down somewhere or whatever and it would still be great.
How do we, and more importantly how do adventurous end users, distinguish useful from useless from harmful configuration changes? Why should I trust this person? Why should I think it's worth my time?

I find that these accumulated lists of security ideas are usually dangerous - in any domain, not just Firefox or browsers. They collect information and misinformation and add a veneer of legitimacy. Some settings don't behave as you think; some aren't documented; some are poorly implemented or tested by the vendor, who didn't design them for end users, and their malfunctions can create more security holes. Some are implemented for reasons you don't understand ('before you tear down a fence, know the reason it was put there'). Some are dependencies for other settings, features, and subsystems.

It would have to be work by an expert in browsers or Firefox or security, such as a Mozilla engineer or someone like Giorgio Maone, for me to trust a list like this one.
I remember when Pidgin OTR worked fine with the old Facebook Chat, which I believe was based on the XMPP protocol. The move to Facebook Messenger deprecated this API and I don't think it works anymore.

In the case of Caprine, it appears not to use any official API and is just scraping the web page for the right elements. This seems quite fragile and also a non-trivial body of code.
The major problem with email is that computers scale wildly different than people do. If one were to print out all one’s new emails and put them in an old style physical inbox it would immediately be apparent how ludicrous the situation is.

I wouldn’t be surprised if the relatively higher cost of paper office memos actually increased organizational efficiency by limiting junk and noise.
Compilation, screen brightness, docker, and slack are another significant chunk.
FWIW, I've spent the past few years dirt poor.

Increasing rates is attempt to control price inflation, not to control exchange rates. There is a link but, it's not straight nor is it the most important factor.

Have you tried multiple inboxes in gmail? You can create custom sections for specific labels and then sort your incoming mail into them (using keyboard shortcuts this can be really quick).
For example you can have inbox sections:
Starred
P1
P2
P3
Inbox (new/untriaged)

You can also use 'super stars' to accomplish multiple priority states within starring.

One of my favorite spots in Berlin is the Monsterkabinett. It's an underground dungeon full of giant animatronic creatures who dance and sing along with the industrial style music of their creators.

It's also a fantastic example of what's possible when you don't have to worry about rent. The space is part of an old squat, still filled with artists who now get a steady flow of tourists to sell to. And some of the artists, who don't have to worry so much about day jobs, had time to take a side project building these creatures along with software to drive them.

Berlin, and kreuzberg in particular, is full of artists and rebels who moved into a war zone because they had no where to go, found a blank canvas, and made something awesome of it. Bowie did some of his best work in that environment, and it's also given us great punk music, and was an incubator for techno and edm.

You can call it NIMBYism, but for Kreuzberg it's really more about fighting gentrification and displacement, and preserving a city at the edge of society. There's a fundamental difference between fighting development in the mission and presidio...

Definitely not a "startup" CEO, nor do we have employees yet, but my wife and I own a small business together and we really enjoy spending all of our time together. It's a giant advantage for us to be able to casually discuss business when we want, and for us to both have the same schedule around big launches or industry event type things.

When we both had our own jobs, we felt like we hardly saw each other and like we had nothing in common. Now that we have kids, it's much easier to have the kids around while we're working because we can both do more or less as the kids need us.

Obviously if we got divorced it would be a disaster, but that doesn't negate that these are
currently very real advantages.

Elon Musk Appears to Smoke Marijuana on Camera in Lengthy Interview
Index funds have beaten most active management over the long run. If you think about it, YC is a huge index fund in startups. The problem is not data-based prediction - just that it is impossible to pick winners a priori, no matter how much data you have. Ergo the clearly viable long run strategy is to invest in as many as you can. This is why YC is maximizing volume, with the latest being the Startup School.

The other option of course is to invest large amounts into startups that are well on their way, but Sequoia and AH have a corner on that market. And now YC wants to play there as well, with their larger fund.

So there's no oxygen left for a lot of the VC firms in the valley. There's no shortage of money looking for VC funds, as returns are low in general asset classes. So you have this imbalanced situation, where dinky startups get incredible valuations, and there are too few genuine investment opportunities to go around. SC are one of the marquee victims, but other walking dead abound, though they dress snappy so it's hard to tell they're really dead.
Is email even broken? Seems fine to me. I'd love to use it more, actually, over the abomination that is Slack and constant notifications and distractions.

Also, it will never be focused on your needs if it's free. Just pay the damn five bucks a month for fastmail or protonmail, etc. Or roll your own server. You'll get a nice clean interface and nobody shoving crap like AMP for email (aka embrace, extend, extinguish) down your throat. In my experience the spam filtering on fastmail has been just as good as gmail.

And notifications are the devil. Does anyone else get a little angry when they see ANY icon with some dumb pip with a 99+ next to it? Or any number? I'll check it when I'm good and ready. Maybe I should get a physical mailbox that starts screaming at me every time the mail comes too.

I have a telephone for notifications and they're activated by people calling me (or text/signal/whatsapp, but I can mute those as I desire). They know to do it if it's important. Anything else can be async. Life is frenetic enough.

I realize I may be a curmudgeon.
Berlin has a center? Last time I checked (Sunday), it was still more like an eye of the storm kind of void. But that's perfectly consistent with your finer point, if you could somehow restrict your employees to roughly one quadrant, many things would be much easier. That will never happen of course.
