No it's not, because board members are important. The conversation, at worst, will be "how can we find the best qualified woman we can to fill the board seat required." They can expand the board to meet this requirement so they won't be unable to hire anyone.

As others mentioned, if you fix UI, this can be a great site that can be used by many.

DMCA doesn't require proof. The fact you are attesting under penalty of perjury is enough. If they contest it then your only remaining remedy is a court order and that would require proof. The wayback machine may be sufficient.
How does something like this get implemented? A company has limited control over the gender composition of the board. The aggregate actions of myriad outside and independent shareholders may not align to produce the necessary result in aggregate. Furthermore, virtually all of these companies are foreign corporations, California has limited ability to modify the intrinsic nature of the board construction process -- it has no jurisdiction. The only obvious escape hatch that make this reliably executable in any sane legal framework is to guarantee that the CEO is female. Or to have a male member of the board exercise the "identify as female" clause if the shareholders in aggregate don't produce a board composition that meets this law. The whole thing is a setup for some absurd theatrics in the board room. I fail to see how this will produce a positive result for anyone.

That said, I am skeptical that this passes Constitutional muster. California has no jurisdiction over corporate law in the rest of the US, and (for good reason) nobody incorporates in California such that they would have jurisdiction. This is a publicity stunt that will stir up outrage by various factions and accomplish nothing.
I did not expect this talk to hook me so quickly. Im still watching currently, and a thought that pops up for me as a freelancer, how can I employ some of these mental tricks (like for example estimating tasks by points while disregarding how much calendar time that is associated with) while also being the manager of myself? Im sure its simply be aware of the pitfalls of thinking in deadlines, to avoid “Student Syndrome”, to focus on the benefit and spirit behind this sort of goal setting.

Im thinking it would help me if I took one day a week to put my “project manager” hat on and divy up tasks for the coming week into story points, and then kept the hat off the rest of the week to keep time based goals out of my way.

Does anyone with some experience scheduling their own time using tips in the talk have any suggestions?
Change Management studies cover this aspect, I believe

I don't know about the getting bored part. Some people have been playing nethack for several decades (without winning!).
I spend the first 70% of the work day on hard problems and things I absolutely have to get done. For me this 70% ends at 4pm.

At 4, I step out for a coffee, stroll around the block and grab a cookie. Then I come back to my table and reply to annoying emails and tackle the easy stuff till about 6-6:30.

I never start working on a tough problem after lunch, because if things go wrong, I end up working long hours and can't get it out of my head even when I go back home.

By the way, I'm really impressed that many people commenting here can work 6-10 hours at a stretch. I need to stretch every 45 minutes to 1 hour lol.
I kind of assumed all along. I was crying vaporware the whole time though - I'm surprised they released something. The signs were there in the marketing - they never showed anything other than pretty cg mockups the entire time, the only videos they showed of functionality were clearly fabricated mockups - even < 1 year to release date. The closest they ever came to actually demoing the thing was showing some celebrity using it.

If they actually had anything nearly as impressive as they were claiming they wouldn't acted so obviously shady.
The tl;dr is it sort of lets you write a program that describes sampling from your data-generating model, perhaps setting priors over certain unknown parameters.

by allowing for programming language constructs, you can define very rich and interesting data-generating distributions.

one can then execute the program to generate samples. more importantly, given observed data, one can efficiently "use Bayes" to update the priors.

this is usually computationally nontrivial due to the Bayes rule denominator aka "partition function", but there are various good algorithms to do it approximately. One of the most popular (used in Stan) is known as Hamiltonian Monte Carlo.
Probably because the bill didn’t pop out of nowhere. There was debate over the bill in the legislature, news stories, etc.
Sorry if I get some basic understanding of the law wrong but...

Isn't this the same thing as regulating car emissions? Doesn't 822 only apply to providers in the state itself? Wouldn't it be that the telecoms are welcome to engage in another method of end-customer billing in other states?

What am I missing?
Uh oh, I've been exposed
Sure, they didn't have to worry about property rights, environmental impact studies, etc. They just did it.

We built the first interstate highways pretty quickly too, and part of why is we just plotted a line and set the bulldozers to work. Nobody worried about habitat destruction, erosion, endangered species, etc.
How does Simplenote make money?
It depends. Personally I'm happy to have my grammar corrected, as long as it's done with good intentions. Perhaps I'm in the minority. I do normally avoid correcting others though, since it's difficult to tell whether someone will be receptive (or offended).
Op mentioned they’re from HK, it wasn’t a call out as much as a helpful tip to a (probably) not native English speaker. If anything, your comment was far less necessary and rude.

I have to disagree with The Deep Learning book. I don't find it a good book for anyone. For beginners it's too advanced/theoretical and for experienced ML scientists it's entirely too basic. I very much agree with this review on Amazon [1].

For the former, I would recommend Hands-On Learning with Scikit-Learn and Tensorflow

I recently had the pleasure of reading the book Outliers, also by Malcolm Gladwell. In this book, one of his techniques is to present the typical "genius" or "rags-to-riches" type story and pick it apart, showing that success comes more frequently from environment and having the opportunity to work hard than from some innate genius. Here he uses the same technique. He presents the popular conception of Ben Fountain's story - a man quits his job and becomes a successful author through talent and motivation. Then, throughout the rest of the article, he adds nuance and exposes some of the overlooked details - that man was supported financially by his wife, had free time throughout the day to work, developed his talent excruciatingly slowly and took almost twenty years to catch his first break. While the focus of this article was more to discuss what it means to be or become a genius, I find it refreshing to think that these kinds of success stories often have hidden details that allow them to feel more realistic and attainable.

On a more personal level, I really appreciated this article. I recently made the decision to study music at a conservatory rather than go into programming as I had originally planned. Programming has always been something I've been naturally good at (I used to think of myself as a very technical, STEMmy kind of person - I laugh at that now), whereas performing music is a passion I've only recently rekindled. As a result, I've had a few doubts about my ability to become a good musician or whether I've made the right choice. This article, however, reassures me that being born with innate talent is not the only path to becoming a good musician (although it sure would have been nice).

Indeed, you have to look for niches -- and find the ones that are in

1) high demand (not just high demand in general -- high demand for new/better content by a new entrant);

2) low supply;

3) well paying customers.

I'm sure despite the flood those will still exist, as long as there's still a good amount of differentiation between people's preferences. A niche is a small subset of in the space of products that a small subset of customers have strong preference to. This needs preference differentiation.

This preference difference could be toward many features: cultural setting, story style, gameplay style, aesthetic style, etc.

There's perhaps a combinatorial advantage here: if sensitivity varies significantly across many of those parameters, just choose any unexplored subset, optimizing for 1/2/3 -- there are exponentially many in the number of distinguishing features (if you browse Steam tags you see this is potentially a very large number!).

My point is there’s just no advantage to ClickHouse. The things that make it fast are in every column store. There’s other options that do everything it does and more.
What does it have for a standard library?
Adele wasn't self-published though, right? I'm not super familiar, but based on the wikipedia page she got picked up by an XL Recordings talent scout who put her on other albums associated with that label, including appearances on BBC, before even her first album, which had 32 credits.

Being really good and self publishing helps you build your resume in a superstar industry, but it's nearly impossible to actually achieve commercial success without a well-established sponsor. Adele probably wouldn't have gotten far on her own if XL or some other label hadn't picked her up. Her accomplishment before then was a really good resume.
The idea is that California's law conflicts with a federal rule, the one the FCC recently put into effect. The FCC says its authority preempts that of states on issues like broadband providers, which in a way provide interstate services, arguably making it a federal issue. That's far from settled however and this lawsuit will be a closely watched one.
Has anyone compared GraphBLAS to nvgraph, custinger, gunrock, etc.?
What's going on is that there are many equally-valid definitions of "popularity". Do you mean number of developers who's heard of a language? Who uses a language? Who likes a language? Or do you mean a language that's most widely deployed, for some definition of deployed?

The question you need to ask is what decision is going to be impacted as the result of knowing the "popularity" of some language. The answer to that question will guide you towards the right metric you should be looking at.
If the commerce clause covers a farmer growing his own wheat that he doesn’t sell, it covers internet regulation. The question is if the FCC is authorized by Congress to set the regulations nationwide for internet companies.
Did school desegregation work?
It does, and it's shocking and saddening that it's not unrealistic.
Almost no one writes their own FPS entirely from scratch in the past decade outside of a handful truly enormous industry players, much as no one really writes the entirety of a web app themselves.

You choose one of the many existing game development frameworks and rapidly prototype a concept, if it works you keep iterating on it etc etc. This works in games as well as any other major software endeavour.

The matter of having the talent to produce a new idea that’s actually fun to play and marketing it successfully is arguably the hard bit here, rather than the technical implementation details. I’d make the argument today that the technical barriers to entry for game development are almost _too_ low now, which is why partly why Steam is filled with so much “indie” junk.

Quickest way is to build something with what you are learning. It's frustrating at first when you don't know much, but once you get a little success you can quickly build on it.

Books usually start from very basic and it takes long time to start writing something useful and fulfilling.
I don't disagree, but I'm responding to the parent, which does not mention gameplay.
You had a one on one conversation with Jon Blow's creation. This is not an argument against one on one. More like an argument for low-key AI tutors.
I can’t say, but keep in mind that there are plenty of examples of indie games that used a custom engine and went on to be highly successful. It could be that those games would have been just as successful with an off-the-shelf engine, but perhaps there is something to be said for the DIY approach.
Ignoring the intention, California is littered with big ideas that fell on their face months/years later. But that's the next guy's problem.
Wow. No love. Isn't lack of root like buying a house but the builder refusing to give you a master key or permission to change the locks?
If it's a start towards that, it's anything but good. Do you realize how many protected classes there are? And I'm sure that I could find a larger one than women.
Thanks for your suggestions. I just amend my grammatical mistake.
This isn't desegregation.

This is a law requiring employers to discriminate based on gender.
I don't think this pertains to homebrew at all, they're covered separately under part 15.23.

The bigger worry is modified devices - devices that would have had a type-acceptance, but it's been invalidated by the operator. They'd be a grey area that becomes a much darker shade of grey under this interpretation.

It does bring to mind a specific example I'd be morbidly curious in; the Icom M802 is a marine HF/SSB set that's popular in small craft. It has a neat trick where if you hold a specific set of buttons while you power it on, it can be operated in the amateur bands (until it's powered off, then it falls back to the factory behaviour).

Under this interpretation, that'd no longer be legal? Since the operator has invalidated the part80 type-acceptance by enticing the unit to transmit outside of its intended bands, it can no longer be operated (by a ham operator) in the ham bands?

Under my current understanding you'd need both an (unrestricted) radiotelegaph or radiotelephone operator's license to be allowed to adjust a part80 transmitter in a way that'd affect it's proper operation; plus a technician (or above) amateur endorsement to actually operate it in this mode, to do this legally. Under this (new?) interpretation, that's still not enough to be trusted?

(A rather long-winded example, but one close to my heart. I believe it's one of the reasons this particular model lost its type-certification in Europe.)
I second here maps. This is navteq maps of past. Last time I checked they were more accurate than Google maps.

I worked for the company few years ago.
It actually isn't very expensive when the same country spends more than the next couple of countries on defense contractor salaries^W^W national defense. The hardest thing is a change of mind and priorities, nothing actual or tangible in terms of cost.
Endless pool of money with little oversight and nowhere near private-sector level expectations on results
That's absurd. Nobody in any OECD country where healthcare is a human right is required by law to practice medicine. People do it as a public service, because they care. No doctor in Canada has a whip behind them as they apply bandaids. In fact, it's absurdly difficult to get into medical school in Canada, but people do it anyways because it's a mid-six-figure good job. That people who are sick are entitled to healthcare via voluntary labor is in violation of nobody's rights and you know it.

Not even Canada's furthest-right-wing parties advocate privatizing healthcare. They don't even talk about it. Because Canadians know that fully private healthcare is a shit system.

Healthcare as a right is your freedom to pursue your life regardless of the circumstances of your birth. It's the ultimate freedom - the freedom from worry, from illness, from bankruptcy. Freedom to pursue your own business or being an independent contractor without fear of death.

Your "slavery with extra steps" argument is long dead. Maybe read this? From 2009. [1]

From a VC’s Perspective – Is Your Startup Ready for Venture Capital?
Adventures and RPGs are the most obvious ones. There, the story-based interactions quickly turn into tons of game logic corner cases that must be handled. Also, the rule sets for RPG character stats and fighting interactions (strengths, weaknesses, immunities, temporary effects, combos...) generally are pretty insane.

Oh, and lest we forget: game logic does not stop once you figured out at a high level that X has to happen. It still needs to set up and drive all the presentation that goes with it on top of the pure bookkeeping. The subtleties of this can be really amazing. To just name some trivial things that come to my mind: doors and elevators should stop when players stand in the way, players and objects should move with the platforms they're standing on (harder than it looks, esp. in 3D), enemies can't just be deleted from memory when their health goes below 0 (but their hitboxes might still go away immediately) and so on.

My understanding is that federal law gives states the option of either following the EPA rules or the CARB rules.

Population control is a very hard thing to discuss specially with the world's 2 largest religions completely opposed to it. The developed world ie most Western countries population would actually go down if not for immigration so devolping African countries where the largest population growth is expected would help but for that we would need to use more fossil fuels so increase carbon usage. We need to spend trillions today to change the future while making a lot of sacrifices in the present. I don't see that happening so am very pessimistic for the future generations
Hey to those down voters, maybe stop by an explain your position! I'd love a conversation.
You mean "on the wrong side of people who don't tolerate differences of opinion".

It's sad to see the left becoming so intolerant. In this very discussion we see people claiming that it's sexist to be against this law.

Personally, I think the law should treat all people equally, not single out groups for favorable treatment.
A trans woman is legally a woman and could be placed on the board to count.

A trans man is legally a man and would not count.

In California, transgender people are granted a lot of protections and rights, like the right to change their birth certificate gender, ID gender, etc. without surgery. It's one of the most progressive states on that issue.

> If women need this special advantage, we only have to find a few other deserving minorities (race, religion and age seem like reasonable choices) before it is illegal to use merit as the first criteria for making up a corporate board.

Adding other categories is actually worse than that, because it creates the need to specifically appoint an asian catholic female age 35-49. An asian catholic female in the 50-74 age group is no good because then the younger age group is underrepresented, a hispanic catholic female in the 35-49 age group is no good because then asians are underrepresented, etc. So the last board member not only can't be chosen on merit, they basically have to be ordered from a catalog of people whose function is to fit into whatever weird shaped box is formed by the composition of the existing board members. And if anyone leaves they either have to be replaced by someone of the same gender, race, religion and age or you have to discharge other existing board members and reconstitute the board.
Sure but I think this really applies to industries under a free market in general however the dynamics in the tech sector are such that a single person with little to no startup capital can create something with paranormal returns and that is really what indies are after (perhaps after having their idea come to life). I wonder if there any other industries that have this same allure
But I thought the whole idea was that the FCC is refusing to regulate the internet, because it's not their jurisdiction to do so? Wasn't that Pai's reasoning? I'm having trouble finding a source though so maybe my memory's off.
It's not necessarily a waste of time. The poster says they're from Hong Kong, English could be their second language. They may not realize the mistake and if no one points it out they may never have the chance to learn.
A somewhat delightful potential side effect of having this being handled at the state level is the confusing and inconsistent array of rules varying state by state will hopefully make regulatory conformance a nightmare for Comcast et al.
Not being poor anymore. Took years of work and patience. I remember in my teens, walking past a five star hotel or a fancy mall would give me anxiety, make me feel like someone would yell at me if I tried to go in. Now I routinly stay at such hotels. Good times!
Predicting the future is your solid life advice? Would you recommend a crystal ball, a ouija board or a magic 8 ball?
