Well the skill you generically refer to as crypto involves a huge amount of programming and maths, unless you mean getting skilled at trading and promoting crypto.
An alternate view I've seen is to look at the last 30(+) years as a giant bull market in bonds that is slowly, finally, coming to a close[0][1]

To do so you’d step out of the JEE spec. Spring and others are trying to bridge this. Legacy DB drivers are a problem. For example, last I checked PG driver was still tread focused for concurrency and transactions.
In my experience tunning a jvm application in order to gain better throughput is far from a trivial job, although jvm ecosystem's requires a much more experienced developer on the platform to reach some levels in comparison to go simplicity which results in really high performance solution easier.
For instance deciding an appropriate concurrent algorithms and measuring it. e.g. using AtomicInteger vs a per-thread-counter-based is not easy (specially in more complicated scenarios)

We have both java8 and go, high throughput critical microservices with excellent 99pctl, and in general memory is not a concern (as much as we do fine tuning on gc and don't have any memory leak) and generally for the really critical and portable solutions we choose java over go (unit testing and library versatility is a big player in this discussion)
The article cites several cases in which the officers involved were made aware of their victim's disabilities, but they continued to kill them anyway.
EXACTLY. Censorship is censorship, even if it's for the so called "Greater Good", as they state in this article.

They state: "we believe that it is necessary to ensure that AI serves the public good."

Let people determine fake news for themselves. We don't want a bunch of automoton people that trust everything they read on the internet. We should instead make them aware that news could be fake and they should further research before making conclusions. Making algorithms detect what's fake and telling people, "Don't worry, we found all the fake news, you can believe what we show you" will farm mediocre people.
For some reason, AI folks in Silicon Valley believe they are superior to middle America and they feel it's their duty to protect them from 'fake news'.
People can think for themselves.

"To deny free speech in order to engineer social change in the name of accomplishing a greater good for one sector of our society erodes the freedoms of all," Judge Barker says that it "threatens tyranny and injustices for those subjected to the rule of such laws."

defeat happened a decade ago, i don't think it was the hope of "victory" that was keeping it alive. Rather, it was not enough of a trouble/liability (until april), and a small number of people/communities still used it.
> (a person, btw, they're supposed to protect)

Do you suppose maybe the officers' intent was to protect the person who called them?

I'm not happy this happened, and I think some blame can be put on the culture of police officers using violence as a solution to many problems, but I also think a lot of blame can be put on the culture of people-not-knowing-their-neighbors.

I would want to know more about my neighbors before calling the cops on them, even if they did some crazy thing like walk around the hallways naked or yell or scream.

Actually, the goons at somethingawful.com were doing that long before 4chan, and 4chan itself is a copycat of the japanese 2ch forums. They certainly did lead the way with all that stuff later on, but I'm sure there was a lot of cross-pollination by that point, and I doubt somethingawful can take credit as being the first, either.
One thing that annoys me with this algorithm is that anything that is saturated white becomes black.

The crux of their argument is based around a trend line of yields, and correlating the approach of yields to that trend line with actual human behaviors.

I think this is flawed.

The only reason the trendline is sustained at this point is because feds rate went all the way to ZERO for almost 8 years. I don't think we have enough information to predict what the tolerable funds rate and treasury yields are. Assuming the 3% line is really going to spell doom and gloom for the market is reasonable, but not reasonable enough to extrapolate anything from it.

Yes, if we get enough recessio where lending dries up and stocks crash, people worldwide will still rush to put their money in US Treasuries, resulting in a bull market for US treasuries. The favorable aspects of treasuries - which are LIQUIDITY and geopolitical position - have not been eclipsed by any asset since the last time US treasuries had these advantages over any other asset class.
For example, there are cities that operate weekend (or certain hours of the day) pedestrian zones where streets in the city center are closed off to traffic.

There are versions of this basic idea in many towns in England, usually looks something like this: https://previews.agefotostock.com/previewimage/medibigoff/58...

Separately, there are cities that closed conventional asphalt roads to cars, without doing any physical road reconstruction, and just marked them as pedestrian-only. I've seen examples of this in Bulgaria and Romania.

My point is, don't get too hung up on the terminology, but question why is there the need for so much car traffic in the city center and pretty much no restrictions on polluting vehicles. For example, in Berlin, your car needs to be at least Euro 4 compliant to enter the city center. As a result, the roads are less busy and the air quality is much better.

Not exactly, you can rent your house, that’s considered passive income like any other investment (so long as you don’t day trade), which is fine, to the best of my knowledge.

You can’t have anything that even resembles a job, either paid (active income) OR unpaid if it may replace a paid US worker.

I can't speak to compensation yet since I'm only on a PhD stipend, but there's plenty of blue chip companies (that bring blue chip salary and benefits) that are going into the healthcare field.
He isn't the only person who talks about the dopamine driven feedback loops. Chamath Palihapitiya, who was one of the first engineers at facebook, talks about how they all used to gather in meeting rooms and have intense back and forth discussions on how they actually build this thing so that the entire world wouldn't be able to resist adopting it.

He talks about how at the time they really didn't foresee the foreboding future implications of what they were trying to build at the time.
Oh wow. Awesome.

That’s not true. Passive income (like renting out your room/house) is not considered work unless you spent a lot of time on it e.g. AirBnB.
More impressive is that, while this was going on, the original QQ quickly pivoted the actual mobile version of QQ in competition with WeChat.

Mobile QQ had more users than WeChat until 2015, and even today, there remain parts of the country + user segments that strongly prefer QQ on mobile.
You might find it surprising, but at Google it's common to do things like not returning anything when aggregating data from a small number of users. That's before even looking at projects like RAPPOR or ESA. Source: I had access to sensitive data many years ago.

Ok there's a technical gaff somewhere... In my understanding. I regularly have hundreds of threads running in jvms with between 128mb-384mb of heap. Im guessing the stack isn't kept on the heap?
This article is wrong and reflects what appears to be a widely-held belief (practically canon here on HN) that a thread has a fixed-size stack. This is not the case on every operating system! Linux, which I've heard is popular, initially commits one page for a thread stack and continues to add pages until that thread's stack limit is hit. So this statement from which this article draws its conclusion is incorrect:

"each OS thread has its own fixed-size stack."

100% wrong.
This news has to be taken with a pinch of salt. Not everyone moves to Canada after they get a residency thru the Express Entry system. The majority of them do something called "soft landing" to activate their permanent resident card and go back to US the same day. They use Canada as a plan B if something happens with their greencard process in future. This is actually detrimental for other eligible people who have applied for express entry because H1Bs fill the top layers of the express entry system and thus the permanent residence permits go wasted because H1Bs don't come to stay in Canada.

Québec is an exception here and do not follow merit based system. So the immigrants coming in Québec are not skilled or employable and is a burden to Canadians. On the other hand, skilled applicants in Québec are waiting 4-5 years for a permit from Québec because Quebec do not follow merit system. The new CAQ leader is also against immigration and has vowed to cut down immigration. So any startups planning to have an office should be aware of this. Québec IT employers are struggling to find talents because of the dysfunctional immigration department of Québec.

Now the highly regarded global talent stream is only applicable to large employers.

Startups still have to go the hard way. Getting an LMIA work permit will take 3-6 months and renewing it will also take the same amount of time.

Overall, Canada's Express Entry system is a merit based system. But the candidates do not need to prove their technical skills. Anyone with a Bachleor's degree, a good command of English and 3 years of work experience can get a residency in Canada. This doesn't necessarily mean there is talent. Moreover, a talented international worker might travel to many countries, so if you are an applicant who have travelled to many countries, 6 months express entry time do not apply, Canada will put you thru something called Security Screening which can last 1 to 2 years.

So the 6 months timeline are for people who haven't travelled a lot or worked at many countries. It's just for a less experienced Bachelor degree holder with a good command of English. Do not come to Canada for the money, salaries are not that great.
Toronto and Vancouver housing prices are pumped up thanks to Quebec's money for citizenship scheme. Québec immigration is dysfunctional, so good luck finding talents in Montreal for your startup.

This paper is difficult to follow. The pseudocode in particular contains errors. For example, the insert function looks at left.key and right.key without regard to whether left and right, respectively, are leaves and thus have keys. And insert calls itself recursively with the wrong number of arguments.

It seems to me that the interesting part of the paper is the claim of history independence. If I understand correctly, the basic idea is that, for a given set of keys and values, there exists only one possible tree. If that’s the intent, there should be a proof and probably a description of what the tree is for a given set of keys. If that’s not the intent, then a proof that the membership algorithm actually works is needed.
The next question to that is do people comply with them? From your tone, I'm guessing yes.
Also, my take on this is that you should probably not mix WebRTC and ORTC APIs. Those are quite different (even if there are similarities).

If you want to implement ORTC, fine, but you should probably do it in another package and make sure you don't expose fields in WebRTC that aren't part of the standard. Some fields (like the SSRC field) is not exposed for good reasons.

It is clear that the driver to higher rates are endless and large deficits in the dollar, which going to lead to printing more dollars. It will end when the deficit shrinks or the yield rises to cover the expected inflation from these deficits.
The difference between a passion and an addiction begins with the negative impact (the thing) is having in your life. The World Health Organization has an official criteria for a "Gaming Disorder" which you can find here: http://who.int/features/qa/gaming-disorder/en

If someone is gaming and their life is fine, then it's no problem, but if they are failing school, dropping out of college, struggling to keep a job, or getting divorced, amongst other negative factors, then it's something they should be able to seek professional help for, and removing gaming for a 90 day period (what I personally recommend) has been shown to help immensely as a 'reset'.

Most BBSs were moderated.

Most IRC channels were moderated.

Most PHPBB forums were moderated.

This very comments section (and news article listing it's attached to) is moderated.

Anyone who has been around the internet for a while knows that moderation and curating is basically ubiquitous and necessary because of both intentionally bad actors and also because of low-quality contributors.

I would laugh at you if you told me in 1990s or even 2000s that congresspeople would be concerned about internet trolls. But I also would have laughed at you if you told me most people would carry palm pilot-like devices everywhere.

What changed in eternal September was not the instinct or moderate or the necessity of moderation. If anything, the amount of moderation per user post probably substantially decreased. But the stakes did change. The stakes changed because the userbase got massive enough to matter in the national and international balance of power.

That scale is also the reason this is now an AI challenge instead of a "call/DM/PM Johnny the admin and ask him to deal with the asshat derailing every conversation about Blah De Bloop with stupid conspiracy theory shit" challenge.
There is a nice, short (12 pages!) scholarly article on this topic called "Did the Ancients Care When Their Children Died?". Evidently, this question (and the more specific question of child mortality) has seen quite a bit of study. I strongly recommend that article, but if you can't access it let me give a sketchy recap below.

The article makes a few points. First, child mortality in Greco-Roman times was very high, maybe 30%. Second, art from that time has many references to the terrible emotional pain of losing a child -- grief seems to have been common. Third, handing over child-raising duties to another party (wet nurses, or even entire foster families) was also far more prevalent than it is today. Fourth, the death of a child was often mourned in a communal, ritualistic way, but it was also not uncommon to simply bury a child in the home with little fanfare.

These things are all hard to square, but the rough conclusion I got was: even when mortality was high, losing a child was keenly painful if that child was loved in the first place, which was less of a given at that time. However, even in that case, mourning and grieving -- by being both diffuse (by community) and following predefined rituals -- seem to have been more self-contained. In other words, the pain came, and then it (mostly) went. Child mortality being such a common experience, there were established societal ways to deal with it (plus your friends and family knew what it was like), and this made it genuinely easier. Your post makes some similar points.

My own take is that today is the worst time in human history to lose a child. Communities are more fractured, there are far fewer people who understand the experience, and parents have every reason to expect to never see any of their children die (and are consequently less prepared for it). Plus, in ancient times there were at most a few ways you or anybody around you would know how to raise a child, so a death that came from that process was in some sense excusable, or somehow just a stroke of fact. Contrast that with today, where we have maybe more freedom and choice than ever, and for every decision made we can find an argument against it -- there's just less certainty of having "done everything right". It's an ugly price for agency.

I mean, in that situation they have even less incentive to fix things if you don't confiscate the robot... The precondition was "the human decision making is so diffuse that no humans are liable" after all.

In that case, you have three possibilities:

1. You don't confiscate/destroy the robot. BigCorp goes "hell yeah, cost of committing $crime is 0!" and continues.

2. You confiscate/destroy the robot. BigCorp goes "nice, we can make another for $5 - we'll take another 100,000 thanks" and continues.

3. You confiscate/destroy the robot. BigCorp goes "shit, that robot cost a ton of money - better work out a way to avoid doing that again in the future" and fixes the problem.

>>How do you know an airplane won't fly at 100 feet over your backyard?

because it should be illegal for them to do so, and be a violation of my property rights as I should have ownership interest and control of this airspace

There is already some legal precedent for upto 83 Feet, the FAA insist they control everything from 1 nanometer above my grass, the courts disagree but the FAA generally does not advance any cases below 100 ft because they are scared shitless of getting more court precedents establishing property owners control the airspace around their property

I really don't understand where people get the idea that housing is expensive in Toronto. You can rent a room in a rental home in scarborough or etobicoke for as low as a few hundred dollars. You'd share a house with a dozen people sure, but you typically get a private room at least. The cheapest I've been able to find in SF was $600 for sharing a _room_ with half a dozen people.

Gaming is a very common substitute for social interaction - for me as someone with social anxiety it was easier to just stay home and 'socialize' online then to go out and meet other people, but that only left me more isolated and depressed.
