Don't these companies need you to be early 20s, have similar hobbies/culture to the hiring company, and live nearby already? I find it hard to believe they'd look at an applicant who doesn't fit the standard criteria. Why bother with someone who doesn't fit the mold when there's 10,000 applicants per month who do?

>>Any unnecessary and polluting economic activity that is actively killing the planet, yes.

All economic activity pollutes, and therefore according to your logic, is "actively killing the planet".

And if you want to be Spartan about it, a significant portion of economic activity is unnecessary, so your criticism is equally applicable to a major share of everything humans do.

In reality people need more than the basic necessities, and will pursue more than them. You're not offering a reasonable way forward with your over-critical analysis that singles out tourism as a harmful activity because of a particular set of properties that it has, that are shared by numerous other activities.
> These people are busy digging their own grave, don't knock the shovels out of their hands, they'll just hit you with them.

That is just beautiful. Beautiful.
> No, if it's one person leveling an accusation and there is no corroborating evidence (either physical or more witnesses), it's not enough.

Whether it is sufficient evidence is a different question than whether it is evidence. It's certainly difficult for nothing other than a victim's testimony contradicted by the accused with no other direct evidence to meet the criminal standard for proof beyond a reasonable doubt, but it's equally certainly less difficult for it to meet the civil standard of preponderance of the evidence that would be applicable in court for sexual harassment claims, and for lots of other human actions, action based on evidence with a lower threshold than preponderance of the evidence for any single offense may be reasonable.
Toucan AI | NLP Engineer | INTERNS and FULL-TIME, ONSITE (East Coast) | www.toucanai.com

We're working on building conversational AIs that move beyond pre-written responses and the intent-entity framework. We believe that language generation is the only way to deliver on the promise of chatbots & conversational AI.

Problems we're focused on include neural Q&A, question generation, emotion analysis, and open-domain casual conversation. We think that having a conversational agent will one day be as essential as having a website, and we want to build the infrastructure that makes that possible. Also, we can't imagine not working on the problem of conversing with computers, because what could be more awesome?

We're just wrapping up a round of fund-raising and we're looking to make our first few hires -- as part of our team, you'd have a ton of personal impact/responsibility and the opportunity to work on some really exciting NLP problems. Hires will receive sizeable amounts of equity in addition to salary.

Our tech stack is primarily: Python / PyTorch / React

If you're interested in NLP and have any experience in either NLP research or NLP engineering, we'd love to talk!

From my experience: while company-wide chat systems (slack and similar) help employees help each other, remote working is a lot about working on your own.

Whereas on a regular job you can walk to someone's desk or ask someone to come and help you, doing the same while working remotely is a bit harder.

So working remotely is a lot about being able to work on your own in the sense of being able to take care of things assigned to you, and figuring out how to do what you don't how how to advance.

This is to say that, in my opinion, you should choose one of the "various" things and specialize in that thing.
It seems to me that the concept is basically analogous to the idea people have that we should eliminate the human element from contract enforcement. Or suppose we tried to eliminate all tolerances and slippage in engineering. It's utopian/dystopian and even seriously attempting it would be disastrous, in my opinion. I don't see why people need to touch the hot stove to understand that.

The one thing that this seems to miss, and for me what defines the "character" of a neighborhood as "walkable" or not, is how much of the space between buildings is for people vs. for cars.

So many of the photos here have skinny sidewalks for people and fat roads for cars, and a space like that is never going to be full of people -- the sidewalk is a place "to get from here to there", not a place to be.

Probably the best rule of thumb I've found is "Would I jaywalk here"? If an area is people-first, you have a lot of pedestrian traffic, little car traffic (because folks drive alternate routes), and what traffic there is travels at low speed. For car-first areas, it's a losing game of Frogger.

A knife can easily lethally wound someone before they can react, and before people nearby can help.

Are you trying to argue with the idea that forks are safer than knives?

Saudi Sheiks? Not true, at least I’m France. Plenty of people get pissed when one of the princes closes down a beach each year for his holiday and essentially takes over a small village with the apparent support of police. Also, if you have ever interacted with many “sheiks” and their entourages, you’d quickly learn just how undesirable they often are. Russian oligarchs aren’t typically welcomes with open arms either.
> Why should I trust them if that data is subject to wild swings as measurements get refined?

You are begging the question here.

Simply put, "that data is subject to wild swings as measurements get refined", isn't reflected in the article. It's something you are making up. Again, the data was within the estimation previously made. They've refined that data.

A wild swing would in fact go from showing one thing to showing another thing entirely. That's how a swing works. What really happened is the predication was correct. We are now getting to see more precisely how correct.

Regardless, I honestly don't believe you are being honest here, since you are asking the same question and not putting any effort into this. You are trolling. If you aren't, put forth some effort. You think you are being "smart," but the truth is, you aren't.

This is an enlightened and contrarian POV and I'm glad for it.
The problem is not completely specified. However, in the study of probability and statistics there is a tendency to charge ahead and offer answers to incompletely specified problems, using e.g. the Principle of Indifference. The wine/water paradox illustrates a flaw in that approach. The Two Envelopes problem illustrates another flaw.

The "Grandfather" in the story argued that we can consider the problem specified if we assume that "the set of all distinct possible states" are uniformly distributed -- which is reasonable and correct when solving problems in quantum mechanics but unreasonable in ordinary everyday situations.

Thinking along those lines, you can construct a set of all possible concentrations: (0 wine particles, N water particles), (1 wine particle, N-1 water), (2, N-2), ... (N, 0). That led to my x/(1-x) formulation, which has the advantage of avoiding the paradox as stated, but I would not argue it's a well-founded result.
Yeah I agree. Though I don't think that lab meat will be a panacea.

Most other evidence is necessarily less reliable than eyewitness evidence since it relies on eyewitness evidence to attest for it's provenance.
Look, I disagree.

Not only is is painfully obvious that you can still compare things, the drive to improve is a natural side effect of still being able to compare on factors. Advertising isn't part of this loop. It's there to buy influence.

Most of the crap I buy on Amazon or Ebay, or in the supermarket; that is to say, 90% of my purchases don't involve advertising. I bought them because I wanted them.
How can I run Joe Rogan YouTube videos through a profanity filter?
I'd like to watch the Joe Rogan Youtube videos at work while censoring all the profanity. Are there any good tools that can do something like this?
So why bother ?

This right here sums up about 97% of the entire issue. People look at the scale of problem, figure they can't make "a real difference" and use that as justification for continuing on with business as usual. It boils down to "The pain and nuisance of me personally taking fewer airplane trips, walking more or eating less meat (or whatever) far outweighs in my mind the benefit to The World of me inconveniencing myself. So Why Bother?"

And, conveniently, it's an argument that frames itself in a way that is nigh impossible to argue with.

> Crossing the border isn't adversarial

Without naming countries, you are handled like a criminal very often.

Your definition of 'not adversarial' is intriguing.

> as far as problems with law enforcement go border agent's demeanor should be really far down the priority list

Oh really? When border agents can seriously screw up one's life (for instance, by placing a decade ban, or detaining them, and worse) with no oversight, I'd say it's a pretty big problem.

EDIT: > They're just routine transactions.

People have been killed in 'routine enforcement stops'. Agent demeanor is a big deal.

It works on a small scale with a group of people who regularly communicate with each other. That's how I organize most of my social events - e-mail a bunch of friends and say "Hey, wanna get together on Saturday?"

It fails when groups are larger or more loosely attached. In my cousin's case - my dad was one of 10 brothers and sisters (many with their own spouses), I have 16 cousins on that side (again with spouses), 3 half-cousins, 10 cousins-once-removed, 1 cousin-twice-removed, and there's a tendency for at least one person to feel offended if they don't get the news when everybody else gets the news. It's somewhat understandable that my cousin would want a broadcast medium rather than trying to remember all that.

Or as another example - a friend of mine died recently, and I found out through FB. I hadn't been in touch with her for several years, since before she got married, I'd never met her husband, and he certainly didn't have my e-mail. Still, I appreciated knowing, and passed on that info to other mutual friends, who also appreciated knowing. That's the long-tail; in my parents' generation, they might've found out at some reunion 30 years in the future, long after the funeral has passed and people are done sharing memories & photos.
