I don't have an informed opinion here (on how other elite universities would handle such an event). Do you have a citation? I did find an MIT retraction and not a cover up in the recent past though. See [1].

> The platform has cast itself as the internet’s kindest place.

Excuse me but what? I thought it was common knowledge that Instagram is one of the worst places on the net when it comes to bullying.
The speaker's article on the topic: https://wingolog.org/archives/2017/06/29/a-new-concurrent-ml
What, precisely, limits the supply of people who have "product talents to figure out what is valuable to produce"? Why are are people with such skills apparently more rare than people with technical skills?
> I'm not convinced that selling some of his SpaceX stock on the secondary market is difficult

Selling SpaceX stock is not difficult per se. The CEO selling his SpaceX stock for the purpose of purchasing shares in a public company, of which he is also the CEO, is. (Source: this is what I do for a living.)

> selling some of his Tesla stocks would cause a rout

Elon Musk selling his Tesla stock to buy new Tesla shares, thereby giving Tesla cash, wouldn't be a problem. (Though it's a roundabout way for Tesla to issue new shares.) Elon Musk selling his SpaceX stock to buy new Tesla shares would be. It shows Tesla was unable to raise capital in the stock markets.
If we're using a system that puts catcalling in the same bucket as actual rape, that's a little bit of a problem. Catcalling is offensive, tasteless, and disgusting, but it's not the same as forcing someone to have sex with you.

I support laws against catcalling, or enforcing existing harassment laws to include catcalling. But you really lose me when you try to put saying anything--no matter how offensive or even illegal--in the same bucket as doing physical violence to another person.

I think this is where the #metoo movement and other groups that promote women's safety and well-being lose a lot of support from people who would otherwise be in agreement with them. I can go really far supporting laws to protect women from all kinds of awful things. But I can't really stretch reality far enough to say that saying something is the same as raping someone.
Right, what they have in common is the idea that the situation gives the woman less rights. Either she owes the man sex in exchange for promotion at work, or the man can take sex because his position outranks hers. Once the determination is made that she can't say no (or not without a fight), something has gone seriously wrong whether it progresses to rape or not. And yeah there's a spectrum and yeah there are other axes we can judge the situation on, but there's a litmus test here and it's not asking a lot to pass it.
I think one of the bigger issues is tooling around creating web applications and related content. For now, webpack and other bundlers do a pretty decent job of grouping bundles together, however the additional costs for handling routing or server-rendering/caching in order to determine which bundles to push is a bit in the dark.

I think we will definitely get there in the near future. I also think that one can definitely get a well-crafted application together by hand, but until the tooling catches up, it will not be widely used.

One thing that could be done is a webserver that tracks which resources are most commonly requested within say 5 seconds of an initial resource, and if >N% of them also request a given resource, it gets pushed by default. That could be a good starting point, but then comes the cost of keeping those relations/counts/tables in memory and not overloaded.

Definitely some opportunities out there.
This is such an unoriginal and unexceptional thread. You try to illicit a veneer of servitude towards reason and logic, but then you can't help but be disingenuous about the subject you're discussing. You're virtue signaling in the worst way possible; you're not as smart as you want to make yourself out to be.

>These far left social justice warriors are literally trying to break windows to prevent some guy from talking about supporting freedom of speech at campuses.

The rally that you're referencing was pretty volatile because of attendees, mainly your dutiful patrons of Reason and Logic (TM) 2018, were shouting slurs and engaging in physical violence. See the following report:

* In one confrontation with BLC protesters, a man shouted, “We need more Michael Browns,” in reference to the 2014 fatal shooting of the 18-year old unarmed black man by police officer Darren Wilson in Ferguson, Missouri.

* One attendee brought three dogs to the event and was openly criticized by many people for what was interpreted as an aggressive move.

* Steven Ainneta wore a “Support Local 81” jacket — the Downtown Toronto chapter of the Hell’s Angels Motorcycle Club

* told The Varsity that he “was accosted by two separate older men with no affiliation to the university. One was wearing Hell’s Angel’s clothing, and the other, along with his wife, seemed to be identifying themselves as white supremacists. Both shoved me unprovoked, while my hands were up, and used racial, homophobic, and transphobic slurs and epithets with myself and other protestors on separate occasions

>This happened when the university was attempting to get the local politicians to pass a law making it a illegal to call someone the wrong pronoun, punishable by fines and jail time.

Out of all the things that have never happened online or in real life, this has never happened the most. How can you be so angry over something that isn't even happening? I don't understand the ilk that surrounds Peterson. It's a literal cult of personality.

Here's the wikipedia article of the bill you're trying to lie about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Act_to_amend_the_Canadian_H...

Here is the section you're lying about:

>The law also adds "gender identity or expression" to section 718.2 of the Criminal Code.This section is part of the sentencing provisions and makes gender identity and gender expression an aggravating factor in sentencing, leading to increased sentences for individuals who commit crimes motivated by bias, prejudice or hate based on gender identity or expression.

So no. No one is going to jail for using the wrong pronoun. Let me know when SJW's start running over people with their cars just because they don't like their existence.
One relatively small correction: CPUs aren't getting faster clock speeds, but not because we stopped being able to put more transistors per square inch. GPUs and ASICs are still seeing exponential growth in their key performance metrics. Mobile CPUs are also still seeing exponential growth along their key performance metrics too. Compare the latest iPhone's CPU-bound benchmarks against its predecessors.

It's an oversimplification to say that Moore's law is over. Some important metrics have stopped improving. Others are still going, for now.
> Kind of depends on who is judging the papers.

That would mostly be physics phds and professors versus literature phds and professors.

But if you want other examples, the group of people who keep failing to distinguish others' bullshit from "real science" thing are the social sciences [1][2][3]. And if you consider management "science" as a social science, there's roughly a century of this (most higher institutions do consider management science a social science) [4]

At least French literature is studying fiction, whereas the social sciences claim that they're a valid science studying real, repeating (non-fiction) phenomena.

> It's not even a statement.

Unless a statement is very different from what Google answers when I type in "define:statement" I'm going to go with that it is a statement

And judging by the downvotes, it's indeed not allowed.

> Mistaking it for a statement seems to start with believing no one could possibly view the a sweet to the hypothetical question posed different than you do, and then build on that error.

This sentence does not parse. Could you perhaps rephrase it ?

I find the statement by Paul Graham obviously defines a "total order" [5], which means I could even translate that statement into logical symbols if you like.

Instagram's harassment problem is like many others and is a problem for young people and women (and especially young women!). I'm a guy in my 30s and post pictures exclusively of landscapes, harassment is obviously not a problem for me. I'm sure my experience would be different if I was currently in high school or if I was a woman who posted pictures of myself.

tl;dr the HN demographic is not the one that gets harassed on almost any platform, but especially IG.
I guess that is fair, but according to this carsalesbase.com site, it isn't even remotely close. Tesla has built/sold more Model 3s in its first year of production than anything else I can find...by a lot. They built/sold more in the past few months than entire years for all of the other models I have checked.

That's why I asked what models the other person looked at because so far all of the information I can see from the site that they linked confirms the "pro-Tesla" person's statements.
Do you have any idea about their latency? According to [1] Parsec only adds about 7ms, which is quite impressive.

I found the cross-discipline focus on the staff interesting:

> The goal of the college, said L. Rafael Reif, the president of M.I.T., is to “educate the bilinguals of the future.” He defines bilinguals as people in fields like biology, chemistry, politics, history and linguistics who are also skilled in the techniques of modern computing that can be applied to them.

> [...]

> Traditionally, departments hold sway in hiring and tenure decisions at universities. So, for example, a researcher who applied A.I.-based text analysis tools in a field like history might be regarded as too much a computer scientist by the humanities department and not sufficiently technical by the computer science department.

They're not just talking about streamlining "learn these statistical models" but also expanding humanities studies.

The obvious wins from this that I see are:

a) more applications of A.I. in areas that C.S. students are less interested in.

b) more people who are knowledgeable about A.I. outside of C.S.
How do you feel about the log retention period?
Here in the Texas hill country, there is this funny fashion where folks complain about how they can't complain about the excesses of "the social justice movement". It's a very meta kind of fashion to see in action.

It's neat though... it's always funny to hear some duder talking about how he can't even say something that he's saying.
But surely Tesla's vast dealer network would remain available to perform any maintenance for the indefinite future 
.
I don't see where in the article this is implied. If anything the fact that half the department will be non-C.S. strongly implies otherwise.
When I say "getting the energy back out", I do not mean exchanging it for something equivalent. I mean actually doing something with Bitcoin other than exchanging it for something else. It is intentionally a silly proposition.

I think Ethereum is a step in the right direction compared to Bitcoin since it is backed by usable computation, but it is still overpriced.
I disagree. "A year of education" is mostly about gaining knowledge. It's obvious that air pullution can't possibly make you forget one year of such knowledge, and I have no idea in what other intuitive way this can be interpreted that makes any sense to the average person. If it's meaningfull to someone then it's only because he understood it wrongly.
You can have different approaches on how to make a cryptocurrency. For example let's look at two, Bitcoin Cash (BCH) and Monero (XMR).

* BCH as a fixed coin limit at 21 million. XMR has a tail emission so the coin supply will always increase

* BCH has a POW backed by ASICs and XMR has been doing all they can to brick existing ASICs and keep the mining on CPUs and GPUs

* BCH prioritizes scaling on-chain aggressively while XMR has more hope on second layer solutions

* BCH allows more script functionality (for example allowing you to store Twitter message, see memo.cash) while XMR disallows all that

* BCH has a transparent blockchain where all transactions can be traced while XMR tries to shield all senders and receivers

Of course other coins can make other trade-offs. Ethereum for example explores the extreme end of scripts on-chain, even having a Turing complete scripting language. Other coins are experimenting with alternatives to mining like proof-of-stake (POS).

Etc...
The instagram app has great multi-account support...
How do you become a product manager from being an engineer?
My comment is intended to speak to cryptocurrency as a whole (the OP topic) rather than Bitcoin specifically relative to other cryptocurrencies. I welcome links to charts that show, e.g., total crypto market cap on a log scale.
Completely disagree. Kids need attention from their parents but a lot less that you might think. Best way to raise them is by example. Sure, if you never spend time with them that’s bad, but you don’t need to spend 5 hours every night with them either.
The best thing about this article:

> Levandowski refused to discuss the case with reporters but attracted headlines with a curveball revelation: he had founded a church, called the Way of the Future, that was devoted to “the realization, acceptance, and worship of a Godhead based on Artificial Intelligence.” Machines would eventually become more powerful than humans, he proclaimed, and the members of his church would prepare themselves, intellectually and spiritually, for that momentous transition. Some people wondered if the church, as a nonprofit organization, was a scheme to protect Levandowski’s fortune, but he assured reporters that he was sincere. “I don’t believe in God,” he told me. “But I do believe that we are creating something that basically, as far as we’re concerned, will be like God to us.”

> you are aware that women did not have the fight to vote until 1920.

And? I didn’t have the right to vote until I immigrated to America.

> Is your belief that women have never been marginalized?

Throughout history lots of people have had a shit time. Some groups worse than others.

I think there is a lot to unpack in your statement.

Marginalized as compared to who?
The whole submission was flagged.
Hmm, Facebook has said that I was not included in this latest data breach, but on the other hand, the amount of spam that I've received in the email address that Facebook knows about has skyrocketed in the last few days... Correlation doesn't necessarily imply causation, and there's a million and one ways that spammers could get that address, but it certainly is curious.
Parent Leaves kids in Car whilst buying, car Stole
Those are really good questions. I don't know what form a transfer of cash from Elon to Tesla like that would take. Tesla issuing new shares for him to buy?

Honestly, on paper there isn't any reason why Tesla can't just sell additional shares to the market in general, not necessarily just to Elon, in order to get enough money to cover their upcoming debt payments. Elon has publicly said he won't sell shares because Tesla won't need the money because it will be profitable[1], but some people are skeptical [2]. Maybe he just doesn't want to walk back his statement?

Also as previously mentioned, he can't sell all of his Tesla stock without paying back some of his personal loans.

Computer Technology in Bangla (Part-01)
I definitely agree about the last part. I live in London, don’t drive, and cycling would definitely be preferable to relying entirely on the Tube and taxis. But when I see the hell cyclists here have to contend with, and how aggressive they need to be, I know there’s no way I am a skilled or confident enough rider to do the same. But if the infrastructure and vehicle congestion ever improved to the point where cyclists were adequately protected, I would definitely start cycling.
> But there's no reason why a mob can't be democratically legitimized

Nonsense, and that argument is alarmingly pathetic. For starters, it makes absolutely no sense to insinuate that the same majority that outlaws violence would, somehow, contradict themselves and do the exact opposite.

And this sort of reasoning is even more pathetic when it's patently obvious that this argument is uses to try to put a thin veil of legitimacy on violent actions performed by extremist groups with absolutely no support in free and democratic societies.
Being frustrated about something that no one can help you with.

Sometimes you get bugs that just are real headscratchers. This happens at the beginning of your career, at the end, and all the way through. There's some subtle thing keeping your code from working, even though you've gone through all the guides, stack overflow, and code review you can handle. Examples of issues like this are bugs in other people's code, library incompatibilities, timing issues, and generally trying to do anything.

You really need a lot of patience and a good problem solving attitude to solve these problems and keep going. Some people are lucky and look more productive because they don't run into these problems as often (though they do run into them). But you learn a lot more by solving these issues and understanding random parts of the stack.

To do this you really need to understand the entire system and use your tools. You need to understand things like how the OS might be doing things, how memory works, how threads work, how drivers work, etc.

If you just sit there and get frustrated, you can put in all the time in the world and not come up with the solution. You need an engineering/builder mentality right from the start, IMHO.
They're really struggling with delivery logistics though. I was scheduled to pick up my Model 3, which will be my 3rd Tesla, this Wednesday.

I've been hounding them for my bill of sale because the bank needs it before they'll send a check. I called the local delivery center again this morning and they informed me they gave my car to another customer. They didn't bother to let me know about this or the home office so they could begin looking for another VIN to assign to me. Apparently I was just supposed to show up on Wednesday and find out they didn't have a car for me then. I've also already taken out insurance for the VIN they gave me and provided it to my bank so now I have to redo all that whenever they get around to giving me another VIN and hope they don't give that car away too.

My first two delivery experiences were great but now I'm starting to think I'd get a better experience working with a traditional dealership.
JSON-LD 1.0: A JSON-Based Serialization for Linked Data
Never underestimate someone whose still-developing brain thinks they can't be tried as an adult.

Or, for that matter, extradited.
Agreed. Love the idea. For me I'd like to see better readability and information destiny. The headlines are more important than the pictures. Most images don't tell me much about what the item will be.
I don’t live in US. While I understand what’s real offense (including disrespectful jokes), I have concern about “guilty till proven innocent”.

If I’m attracted to someone and I want to date. How you can ask to go out without risk of being accused of sexual harassment?

This is not sarcastic question. This is especially important if you as a male is not very good at reading subtle social cues.

P.S. I really don't see why it got downvoted. There is no hidden message here.
Thether's success is based on the large number of cryto to crypto exchanges that need to go light on regulation and avoid working with banks. I don't blame them honestly, I've seen many small exchanges close down or move to other countries because their bank account was closed. Nevertheless, tether is a cancer that needs to go, even if the market would crash because of it. Unfortunately some tether clones (like TrueUSD) already appeared, so it's interesting how things will play out.
There's no implied causation here ("correlation")... It's straightforward: The women reported experiencing sexual harassment. Does it make it any better if the sexual harassment happened because they're female and a mathematician?
I would say Paul Krugman is very politically motivated, in fact he tends to participate in political activism thinly disguised as economics analysis. However, his political motivations aren't related to his opinion of cryptocurrencies and he is probably right about it.
Everything needs to be replicated for that stuff, or different clients see different things. Plenty of games DO this, so yes, a game trusting clients is a bug IMO. Yes, WoW doesn't do all the movement serverside, cause it can be expensive. But even WoW does checks for "are you moving faster then you should be".
That isn't a "new" model with all of the uncertainty that goes along with it though. Rav4 and CR-V have established reputations, entrenched supply chains, etc... A better comparison would be brand new models, not refreshed old models.
Well, for one, Bob can see the BTC or Ethereum in the wallet due to the public blockchain. Bob can be assured that Alice has indeed sent the funds.

Furthermore, the Escrow service isn't actually holding any money. If you were to implement Escrow using today's banking technology, you have to give Escrow the money, and then Escrow gives the money to Bob (or Alice) pending the results of the automated service.

Ex: You can't implement an escrow service using ACH... not at least... without actually taking the money. But with Bitcoin or Ethereum, you can implement an escrow WITHOUT taking any money at all. Escrow can only give the money to Bob (or give it to Alice), provable through encryption.

In effect: Blockchain provides a way to divide the responsibility and prove it through cryptography. The Blockchain Escrow NEVER has access to the funds, throughout the entire transaction. And therefore, it is easier to bootstrap Escrow's reputation.

True, we can use well-trusted banks and courts to handle these transactions. Trusted Escrow services do exist. But my point is that Blockchain could make it cheaper and easier to do.

----------

I mean, provided that Bitcoin actually can stabilize, among other things. There are a lot of reasons to not do this with BTC or Ethereum, primarily because of the gross variance in price. But still, its a nifty concept.

Its not "change the world" level, but it is certainly a technological advancement in my eyes. Something that could allow new businesses (with lower-trust models) to accomplish things that previously took a lot of trust, and a lot of effort. (IE: Escrow services).
