Yep, it's been done before by Cornell researchers, in 2009. You provide a bunch of data to a program and it hums for awhile and derives some equations from the observation. In the story written around the time, it took positions of a pendulum swing and derived laws of motion from it. See https://www.wired.com/2009/04/newtonai/ (and lots of other articles around the time.)

You could feed a spreadsheet into and then it would iterate for awhile, converging toward most accurate equations describing the system. Or in my case, diverging from what I was sure was the solution. It was a hit and miss with most data (honestly, an eyeball and a few braincells did better with some data sets), but all the same I used it to lazily approximate position equations for some programs I was writing.

The desktop program was called Eureqa which then got ported to the cloud for obvious capacity increases, and relabeled into a company/product called Nutonian. Most recently bought by "DataRobot" and it's now being sold for sales optimizations. Because science.
Meeting room switch does take time, and it is a cost, cannot argue with facts. However, real estate cost is not high only if the company is located in the woods. If one is looking to grow workforce in a central location, the real estate cost is through the roof. Keep in mind that companies do not start at their final size; so the efficiency of the space will be far lower during the earlier stages.

Many of us are in the GoAi Slack, tho more for syncing. Most of it is per-project work -- our JS work for Arrow/GoAi is in the Graphistry Slack, PyGDF is in the GoAi one, GPU Arrow is in Arrow mailing list or GoAi Slack, MapD is in MapD, etc.

2018 has really been internally focused for pulling GPU islands into a GPU mountain. Expecting 2019 to be way more externally focused. Each milestone like this gets us closer :)
Ideas just have to be tried out. The problem is when a company have absolutely no process for letting developers, young or experienced, try out a new idea. Many companies have a very random "process", where a few select people can get away with just implementing their ideas, without any testing.

Small teams of 2-3 people spending a few days for testing out a new idea, or writing a prototype, may often work out.

Yes, that really bothers me too. Ideally, I would like to see a situation where it is possible to have an entry level job, cheap rental and apply for standard federal financial aid and make it work with some reasonable degree of effort at a fairly high percentage of schools.

One of my concerns with free tuition at elite universities is that it is likely to become one more way that "them that has, gets." My suspicion is that the vast majority of slots will still go to kids from wealthy families, though ability to pay is no longer one of the ways poor people get excluded. There are lots of ways to exclude poor people without using their income per se as a means to exclude them.

If the most elite colleges have free tuition and you see rich kids getting a free ride because of it, then the gulf between rich and poor only grows. It won't shrink.

That's very problematic, for a long list of reasons.

One issue is that we should be looking to make education available to those with interest and ability in a particular area. We should be developing policies with an eye towards furthering human and societal development. Education that is too much about credentialing can turn into justification for "welfare for the rich." You get the job because you have the credentials. You got the credentials because of who your dad was, not because you are actually interested or talented. It makes you sure you remain comfortably upper class, never mind that you are essentially a leech on society.

There are two ways to be rich:

1. Add enough value that everyone is better off, including you.

2. Extract value from the world and society such that you are very much better off, but it is questionable if anyone else is. Your employees have terrible lives. The environment is being destroyed. Etc. But, hey, your bank account remains fat and that's all that matters.

The world needs to perpetually guard against that second thing. And we struggle with it.
Yeah, I hear this - the problem can be in some cases that the job you get for money may have come from a contact that if you up-and-leave will negatively affect your relationship with them.

Where does one draw the line? The internet is used for that, so should we shut down the internet? Is the content of the internet the responsibility of its creators, or operators?

I completely sympathize with this position for a one-person service, but I think the real problem is that we still haven't figured out how to fix incentives so we can distribute the work of keeping the jerks in line. On the internet, the jerks are winning.

It's really difficult to have something useful or interesting to say as a layperson about dark matter (or most science fields) so people rely on tropes.

Special and General Relativity - "it's all relative man"
Quantum Mechanics- "spooky action at a distance"
Dark Matter - "if you can't see it, maybe it's just not there"
Flat Earth - "you can't prove it's round"

There are more complex versions of this like the interesting, but debunked Tao of Physics and various cranks with new theories of everything (or perpetual motion), but they aren't accessible or interesting to the masses because they don't fit a convenient narrative.

Most big science and engineering takes a lot of work, understanding, and time to be accepted or have a big impact, but we're always looking for the new News.
Sorry but that's a very good way to hurt your career. The community is surprisingly small. As in, I swear it's less than 3 hops from me to most people who might cross my desk when recruiting. I can tell you we know who have done this and we shy away from them. They're a waste of time.
This analogy is growing very thin. If you've got a business operating board games, and I start a business to flip your board games thus ruining your business, what recourse do you have?

I understand why Musk don't like short sellers. They diminish his leverage.

Musk has heavily leveraged his TSLA holdings. 40% of his Tesla shares were collateral for loans as of year-end 2017. TSLA is down 19% from that point.

Leveraging holdings of heavily leveraged company is typical Musk high-risk gamble. Aiming for the stars even in finance using leverage as a rocket fuel. Musk is probably using this leverage to fund his other businesses. If TSLA tanks he may receive margin call and must sell part of his SpaceX stock to compensate.

edit: TSLA total debt to total equity ratio is 286.29 for the "Musk-Tesla Inc." that ratio is almost double.

Actually I've been actively searching and responding to recruiters and sent spontaneous applications etc. You have no idea.
One good filter I’ve found is whether the person arguing has a good understanding of both the old thing and the new thing. If an experienced person doesn’t seem to understand the new thing, or an inexperienced person doesn’t seem to understand the old thing, then they probably aren’t making a good argument. Both of those certainly happen —- the inexperienced will follow fads and the experienced will not want to devalue their knowledge.
This is one of the reasons I love working with fantasy emulators like PICO-8. They impose deliberate technical limitations that force you to find creative solutions like this.
"So many recruiters are looking for senior developers like me to join their early stage team and to do development and assist junior devs via knowledge sharing."

What I have encountered is that everyone wants to hire senior developers, but no junior developers, so your "senior" role is the same as that of a junior developer.

I always ask what the team structure is during the phone screen. If it is all senior developers, which is becoming the norm, then I stop the interview process. You will be the defacto junior developer as the newbie on the team.
Of course - for the better or worse, money fuels life. I'm just afraid of sticking with my first company for the rest of my life because I'm half satisfied where I'm at, when I could do much more interesting things elsewhere.

Maybe I'll just be happy enough with my life that I won't feel a need to take risks. Maybe I'll be courageous enough to pursue greater net happiness.
In the military, I at some point learned that listening was at least as important as looking. A lot of the senior guys on their 3rd or 4th tour would patrol without a helmet -- it messed with their hearing.
You're getting really close to what I want. I just don't find it easy to get this kind of job. Do you have experience working for your self helping small clients with fun work and your description?
Any tips on how to build an audience before MVP ready?
My co-founders and I are building a social media app and thought it made sense to go stealth mode prior to launching due to what we perceive to be a high copying risk. Problem is, that app development can take 3-4 months but we need to start building an audience prior to launch while on stealth mode. Any tips/ideas on how to go about it would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!
Alternatively, just write that you were a consultant / freelancer, and actually work as one for like a month of a year (even for free for a non-profit if necessary).

> Does anyone seriously believe that Shannon's contributions to the foundations of computing stand so far above others'?

Not far above but he's right there with Church and Turing. Church and Turing laid the foundations to computer science. You could argue shannon gave us computer engineering.

Shannon created information theory and his proof of equality between electric circuits and boolean algebra is the foundation of physical computing today. All modern computing devices go back to his proof and his adder.

Shannon tied the electrical ( circuits ) with the mathematical ( boolean algebra ) ( which one could argue is computer engineering ).

This is so true and I will not jump ship until this kind of job shows up. I suffer from IBS which might be stress induced so a changed work lifestyle is not just a luxury request for me. I want to focus and work in a relaxed customer focused remote position.

I have a tough time making choices now, I think because of anxiety and obsession. I just bought a snow blower (of all things) and the process wss torturous. Do I get the 24" that is easier to maneuver and is cheaper? Or the 26" that is more powerful? This one brand has history of breaking shear pins. This other brand clogs easily. Before you know it I've spent a few hours watching youtube reviews and it's 60 degrees outside. I finally pulled the trigger on one and then afterwards found out the model has a history of carburetor problems (and then go down the rabbit hole of how to clean and prevent issues.) I hate what the information age has done to my brain!
This depends entirely on why you’re getting c-section in the first place. When my son was born, we luckily detected that the umbilical cord had velamentous cord insertion, which basically means it’s not completely connected to the placenta. This can often lead to detached cord during vaginal birth, and cause still-birth and worst case also kill the mother. We also discovered after the fact that the pregnancy was also suffering vasa previa. Luckily the first was discovered before birth with modern ultrasound equipment that also tracks blood flow (not all hospitals have this apparently). And we were extremely luckily that we didn’t risk vaginal birth even though with just the first condition the risk was still within decent margins.

You can read some horror stories about these conditions when they go undetected. Luckily for us they were detected, and so we scheduled a c-section and everything was smooth. If we had listened to the peer pressure, which there was a lot, it’s possible that neither would be around today.
They exist. My first job had offices with 1 to 4 people per room. We even had doors!
In a completely different housing market (Italy) a lot of the hype is - besides "luxury" - on energy efficient/energy saving housing.

But the reasons (from the constructor/realtor viewpoint) are easy to understand, once the "basic" building costs are considered (and they are not-so-different between a "poor" home and a "luxury" one) the rest is "accessories", and there is a larger margin on these than on the "basic" construction, in the sense that the increase in the selling price as a "luxury" home is much larger than the added cost for these accessories, and this without considering the "fake only luxury" cheap ones sometimes used.
I'm a 44 year old senior engineer, and the one thing I've noticed is that bad managers are almost universal in technology. I've had about 20 managers in my career and I can count only 2-3 that I would consider great managers, the rest ranged from mediocre to incredibly incompetent.

This, to me, is the #1 reason I gain much more satisfaction from doing consulting work on the side: I'm my own manager, and I can make decisions that are right for the customer, instead of getting told by an incompetent manager that he knows better than I do, which leads to bad outcomes for myself and the client.

I'm much more selective as well, and no longer tolerate bad leadership. This is the biggest challenge with finding the right job. I've discovered that almost 90% of your job satisfaction depends on having a good manager. You can actually enjoy a job that doesn't pay as well, and doesn't have as much meaningful work, if you have a great manager, because they can actually help you to make the work meaningful in the right context.
There are also people - usually rich and/or corporate - deliberately muddying the water in fields such as climate change, pharma testing, and so on.

The public doesn't understand science, but it understands corporate PR even less.

The corporate PR industry has no plans to change this.

One of the biggest and most destructive wins for corporate PR has been the steady erosion of scientific credibility with FUD and character assassination, combined with science-for-hire commercial shilling. This has done huge damage to the credibility of tentative research, and made it very hard to get away with saying "We just don't know yet. So we need to keep looking, because looking where we don't have answers yet is our job."

But... not only does the public not understand how corporate PR operates. The scientific community often doesn't either.

There's a presumption of good faith in scientific debate. No matter how personal the to-and-fro gets, there's an assumption that everyone is doing the same job for recognisably similar reasons.

That presumption is wholly wrong in any situation with significant political and/or financial consequences outside of science.
It's an observation that fits our theoretical models when dark matter is assumed.

It's indirect proof. The indirect proof is so overwhelming strong that any rational person will concluded with reasonable certainty that dark matter is real.

Directly detecting a dark matter particle will give us more data than "dark matter is real".
With insider trading, the knowledge of insider traders would be priced in. If you're trying to just buy the market you'd get the same (maybe better?) returns.
You'd only lose from insider trading if you were trying to outsmart the market, in which case you'd be at a disadvantage.

This is not true. Highly shorted stocks are some of the most volatile ones. Anyone can buy a stock that is falling, most stocks have little short interest (<10%) meaning volume when stock going up or down is most people buying or selling down their long position.
I remember hearing about games that clusters cheaters together, so it takes longer for them to find games since the cheater population is lower than the general population and it's cheaters against cheaters which must be not fun at all.
Yes, if you have nowhere else to go, but it's a last resort and there's definitely a high chance of fines or more serious consequences, especially if it's an active base with sensitive material or operations.
Sure, we have a team just like you mentioned. Quiet, no stupid gossips, etc. Focused on work and individual contribution. Very less to almost no meetings for developers. We always for look for creatively solving the problems, rather than preferring manual labor intensive solutions. And the team is small. But it's not Android related. We are big data development and mostly use Scala. Email me at panghal.vaibhav@gmail.com if you want to apply. We are Austin, texas based and domain is healthcare.

> stay longer than seems rational

People wind up _staying longer than seems rational_ because they develop habits (schedule, commute, favorite lunch spot, etc.), develop relationships with their colleagues, feel a sense of loyalty to the company/their superiors/their team/etc. (this is often misplaced, but irrationality rears its head yet again), don't want to go through the hassle of interviewing, don't want to have to change doctors if/when their insurer changes, etc., etc.
Telegram Collects URLs Typed in Secret Chats
To recap, as I understand it:
OP is typing in the domain name of his personal website. His logs show that Telegram visits the domain as he's typing.

Telegram visits the domain to cache the website to give a preview in the chat, this is normal for other non-secret chats, however since this is a secret chat, it should be end-to-end encrypted, meaning not even Telegram itself has access to the messages.
This should, in and of itself, begin to cast down on the hypothesis even lacking a better alternative.

No, because that's profoundly misleading. The car is propelled by the wheels. Those may be moved by a motor directly or indirectly, but the car is not moved forward by the explosion of gas directly, there needs to be a transformation of the energy into circular motion. There are many many different types of motor, so the specifics may be detailed. But for a naive explanation, you could just say "fire".

I don’t forget people’s names, but I am faceblind. I will remember an interaction involving me and this person named X—and then that story won’t come to mind when I see X, unless/until they tell me their name again.

If I never found out the person’s name, then I probably won’t remember them at all.

The memory is there—I just have no look-up key (where for most people, that would be the person’s face.)
I think this view is very naive because it doesn't take into account the perverse incentives legalising insider trading could create.

Insiders often also have power over the behaviour of a company, so for example a corporate leader might short his company's stock and then take actions to ruin the business. Or they might release plans for some action that would be seen negatively in the market, depress the stock price, buy, and then change the plans to ones that will attract investors and pocket the difference when the price goes back up. This doesn't improve market information, in fact it's disinformation because those selling on the first announcement were deceived, but how could you prove it?

Maybe they would get caught, maybe not, but legalising insider trading creates an incentive for these sorts of behaviour that would not exist otherwise.
