>So, what number of teams can a typical candidate choose from? Compared to the total number of teams hiring? I guess the typical scenario is that a few teams express interest and then you can choose one of them, which is not much different from just "congratulations, this is your new team".

Depends on a variety of factors (candidate skills, season, other people, what projects are being worked on etc.). I've seen everything from between 1, and like 8-10.

>How simple is trivially simple?

There's an internal hiring board that people post openings on. You can apply. AFAIK, the manager can pick between people. Basically all of your other questions come down to "does the hiring manager want to allow it".

>What do you do with your responsibilities at the current project?

Depends, I'd hope people handle it like reasonable humans. In my case at least, I told my manager I was interested in transferring out in the next couple months, and he told me to stick around a bit longer so that he could make sure I got promoted. I ended up not transferring out as my work got more interesting.

In general, its easier to transfer with the blessing of your current manager, but from what I've seen its not required. And there are probably long tail cases where transferring is difficult, or people do unethical things, but I'm not directly familiar with any, and I don't think they're the norm. So for most cases, transferring is trivial.

Edit: And actually, if you read the entire story (more was posted on twitter after this article went up), he was able to transfer off of the team with almost no issues, to a team he found much more interesting, but instead left to go to Dropbox. The whole transferring this was literally a nonissue once he actually tried to do it.

I call every once in a while. People I don't feel comfortable calling I probably shouldn't be stalking on Facebook anyway. And having even a 30 minute phone conversation every six months with an old friend will do amazing wonders for that relationship that years of vapid Facebook shadowing won't.

Storyboards aren't a disaster, I think people's grasp of storyboard best practices is really the disaster.

For our team, storyboards are for flow and they are broken up into individual storyboards where possible. Individual xibs are used for views and view controllers. We don't put any UI in storyboards at all.

Autolayout is as easy or as hard as you want to make it. As with almost all things, less is more. I think people definitely need to have an a-ha moment with it.

I consider it a knock against you if you can't sort out interface builder or autolayout, if I'm being honest.
I think the path is TN -> H1B -> GC. At least it was for me. TN is non-immigration status and needs to be renewed every year. A little risky since GC may take a bit of time.
Not sure I follow. If you're using 46.7/260 that's an 18% increase (not 10%), but that's all subscribers (including print), not just digital.

So a yearly print subscription would go from $422.50 to $500 here in New York.

I'm not sure print subscribers would want to subsidize digital readers like that, especially when their own print edition is already chock-full of ads.
Yes. I am not where I can do that justice.

Show HN: Experience Colorblindness on the Web
Hi all,

At my company we try to keep our website colorblind-friendly. I decided to spend my free time building an extension to help me do that and realized I could share this experience with the world.

What is surprising is how different everything looks for colorblind people - it's not just black and white like you might expect.

It works by placing a CSS filter over the page that distorts colors similarly to actual colorblindness-distortion.

This is my first Chrome Extension - I would love to hear your feedback!

Cheers,
Andrew

x11 apps talk to XWayland, which then talks to Sommelier (a Wayland forwarding agent), which then talks to the Wayland server running on Chrome OS.
Other communications between Chrome OS and the Crostini system happens using the gRPC protocol. There is a program called Concierge on the Chrome OS side, that talks to Maitred inside the VM, to get it to do things. And apps inside the container use Garcon to talk to a service called Cicerone on the Chrome OS side (again, both these are over the gRPC protocol).

It makes for social instability. Studies show time and again that it's the relative wealth that makes people unhappy, not absolute.

Don't get me wrong, I would much rather have a large salary, and take home as much of it as I can after taxes. But I would also rather have it be a permanent, stable arrangement (maybe not at any particular company, but in general). Angry torches-and-pitchforks-wielding mobs tend to disrupt that, so I consider it to be in my long-term financial interest to contribute to building a society where people are generally happy and don't feel like they need to get violent to fix their problems. Just looking at the news headlines daily, I wouldn't say that what we have in US right now is such a society.

KL divergence is motivated nicely from an information/coding theory viewpoint. It's very closely related to Shannon-von Neumann entropy [1], and KL(P||Q) characterizes the efficiency of a code designed for a model distribution P, when applied to reality which is actually represented by Q.

A lot of recent work focuses on the Wasserstein divergence [1] as an alternative. One advantage of Wasserstein over KL is that the Wasserstein metric provides better fit over the whole distribution instead of localizing on some specific regions, thereby preventing "mode collapse". This makes it a popular metric for training Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs).

For recent work on applying Wasserstein distance to variational inference, see: https://arxiv.org/abs/1805.11284

Collaboration doesn't mean they work for free. It means many pool resources to solve the same problem, instead of everyone trying to reinvent the wheel and then charging everyone else for it. That's what AOM are doing, which disproves your claims in practice.

> Which is why entities like MPEG-LA exist in the first place.

Nope, they exist because of the messed up legal patent situation, which allows such parasitic entities to engage in patent protection racket which is the opposite of progress. Patent law needs serious reform to prevent such kind of abuse.
Now that I look back at it, I have no idea how I came up with that percentage.
To be fair, there is also a significant lack of evidence that they haven't. It is difficult to collect data in this area because of the setup of the electoral system (both its federated nature and the lack of possible verification of individual votes). This together with the tight margins of modern American elections means potentially significant fraud could hide in the noise. In-person fraud would be hard to hide but electronic fraud is possible and there are interested, capable parties out there (e.g Russia) who shouldn't be discounted.

So to say that 'we definitely don't have an "election integrity" issue' isn't correct. There is nothing definite about it - we just have a consensus that we don't have a problem. You could say the same about every data security breach until they were discovered. I have noticed that there is a significant cultural interest in propagating the idea that our elections are sound so I tend to take the idea with a grain of salt as long as our system is as vulnerable as it is.

What makes you think nobody has stepped back? Tons of people have stepped back and proposed lots and lots of alternatives. Dark matter is the only one that can explain all the phenomena mentioned in the article. It is the result of a lot of stepping back and failing even more in the other directions.
Except then you often hurt those who can least afford it, those who have to live further away from their jobs due to costs and thus use infrastructure more to make it to work.

I think a lot of employees feel that since their company have a great website, a great product, a great business, they conflate it as their own and that 'anybody can do it'. In fact they have only done a tiny portion of anything themselves. It's not until they get thrown out on a blank canvas they'd learn to appreciate how hard it is if all they have is their own pair of hands.

Unfortunately the people interviewing are often going to be life-long employees that are expert of climbing the corp ladder, not so much the entrepreneurs who found and own the business.
This attitude is fine for personal projects, but it does not scale when working with other people.

Even in a two person project, one person using a language feature will inadvertently force the other person to learn how that feature works. And they will not even know if the feature was appropriate to use until they have learned it.

With this small amount of reasoning we are back to the tired old argument of "Which is better? Ease of expression or ease or learning?"

I've done the same. I nuked my instagram account and removed the facebook app from my phone (never had twitter or snap chat). I only pop on facebook every now and then to check for messages from family members. Most of my friends have followed suit to various lenghts. The younger people at work have all moved on to snapchat and Instagram almost completely ignoring Facebook.
You can still do it. I follow 10 or so friends, and I've never linked facebook. The mechanism for adding friends is needlessly obtuse though. You need to add spotify:user:<username> in the search box to find them, then you can follow.
