More probability distributions (maybe event custom ones) were something I was thinking of for the future. Maybe a paid one.

I'd look at Haskell-based stuff first. I was told, though, by Haskellers that things like House operating system are imperative in style even if done in Haskell. So, a quick search for functional programs for OS's gave these possibilities:

You were actually in that thread. Did the commenter's work not actually use FP or you not see it?
You can buy all of those products directly through Amazon. I've bought clothes, shoes, groceries, produce, and books on amazon.com, not through Zappos or Whole Foods, but literally on Amazon.com.

They sold shoes before they acquired Zappos, and AmazonFresh predates the Whole Foods acquisition.
That depends on the company you are wanting to work at, though. I refuse to work at companies that give those kinds of bullshit puzzle interviews.

I would say - empirically - that the biggest problem in South Europe is not the lack of talent of creators/makers but the lack of talent of managers.

So that's why I go broke on vacations... I want to eat somewhere cheap and the wife says, "No, let's go to the expensive joint... we've already spent $x getting here, so an extra $50 won't make a difference!" Now I have a name for the phenomena.
In my case, Massachusetts is one region with a probably somewhat reasonable adjustment relative to San Francisco. But that's one number whether you live in the most expensive part of the Boston metro, a far-flung suburb, or somewhere rural or semi-rural in Western Mass, which covers the range from one of the more expensive cities in the country to a fairly rural part of the state that is probably starting to approach Midwestern prices.
Isn't that (possibly) true about a huge number of advertisements, political statements, religions, etc.?

Apple News has a license to distribute that content from the content creators. OP doesn't.

Edit: To say I don't agree with the way the law shakes out with respect to copyright enforcement on the internet but that's the way it works right now. I would even suggest that recent legislation in Europe will pull us in the wrong direction. Just another example of why it's important for our legislatures (and increasingly, judges) to have a firm understanding of how technology works so we aren't left with these hamfisted applications of ancient regulations to modern technology.
Your salary will likely go up even if you don’t take one of those jobs.
So, a government organisation is openly telling Facebook how to moderate speech now, and they're complying? I know Facebook's a private company, so they don't have to uphold the 1st amendment, I'm just wondering how far do we have to go down this rabbit hole before people wake up.
That is the complete opposite of what happens in the US.

A city isn't a business, and shouldn't be run like one. In theory they exist to serve the people, and I don't see why it is any better for people in New York to get a contract than people in any other city.

They're fundamentally different markets, though. The device manufacturer is out to turn a profit on hardware, the open source programmer is out to improve their own individual experience.

Why should the second individual be subject to FDA oversight? I mean, I'm glad the FDA exists, but their function is to regulate the overall market -- not make it harder for me to make my _own_ healthcare decisions.
Thanks for your added comments, it's really helpful to see a more candid breakdown of others views of a paper.

>I'm afraid I haven't seen this approach, but it would be interesting. Do you have references?

They are referenced in the paper in the section:

>Another way to attack this problem is to study the dynamics of a specific algorithm for a specific neural network architecture. Our paper also belongs to this category. Many previous works put assumptions on the input distribution and assume the label is generated according to a planted neural
network. Based on these assumptions, one can obtain global convergence of gradient descent for some shallow neural networks [Tian, 2017, Soltanolkotabi, 2017, Brutzkus and Globerson, 2017, Du et al., 2018a, Li and Yuan, 2017, Du et al., 2017b]. Some local convergence results have also
been proved [Zhong et al., 2017a,b, Zhang et al., 2018]. In comparison, our paper does not try to recover the underlying neural network. Instead, we focus the empirical loss minimization problem and rigorously prove that randomly initialized gradient descent can achieve zero training loss.

I had this idea independently but never pursued it due to lack of time. It's another reason I like this paper: for referencing this approach, at least if they investigate what I think they do, I still havent had time to read those references, but from the description in this section it appears they investigate nearly if not exactly what I wanted to investigate "some day" :)

Now this is interesting. This would be a little like an accelerator "spray and pray" model, where economically you would only need a small percentage of those companies to become large job creators and tax payers for this to work out in the city's favor. You got my vote Jake!

Hand-wringing and debating about how we should use the bug reporting system, triage, sprint planning, user stories, burn-down charts, etc. will keep the leads and PMs busy for decades on end, even if the tools never change.
My implementation keeps the entire world in memory, forever. This is obviously not desirable, but I didn't figure out a way around it. You can't generate a place again that you have been to because the result would be different.

If you do chunks and generate the edges first, you could run into a situation where it's impossible to fill the chunk based on it's edges.

For generating terrain, using noise functions makes a lot of sense since they are local (= don't need to know nearby values to evaluate) and deterministic.

Most companies don't need "earth-shattering 'data science'", they need a way convey a narrative with their information and maybe try to deduce something from it.

Because they're not paying you in bitcoin or by brown paper envelope. There's federal, state & local city tax reporting for each employee, W-4's to fill, W-2's to mail, health care providers to setup (different in each state even within the same company), 401Ks etc. Unless you're going underground not only from your employer but also the tax authorities.

Now if you maintain your high-cost address but go tripping around the world, perhaps they wouldn't find out for a while.

Does there exist any body of proof around this one? Would like to see it and add it to my corpus of knowledge
I'm skeptical Amazon will actually "create" 25k jobs. Hiring != Creating jobs. My assumption is that many currently employed individuals already living in NYC/DC will apply to Amazon for a salary and/or résumé boost. In such case, this is less about new jobs being created and more a reshuffling of the current labor pool.
Amazon didn't give the area's the name. The communities came together and gave the area a name as a kind of branding.

Would it be the worst thing in the world if someone at Facebook at least had a long hard think about that?
Thank you, please let me ask you what do you think about the project?
The issue isn't wether or not these incentives are net positive for the location that wins.

The problem is the prisoner's dilemma of the situation, forcing jurisdiction into a race-to-the-bottom competition.

That's because Amazon would hire these people anyway. NY and DC may come out ahead. But for the country overall, it's purely a transfer for billions from taxpayers to Amazon stockholders.
For the sake of discussion, let's assume that the whole thing is a right-wing propaganda piece. Isn't the result the same? The fear is real regardless of whether it's proper or baseless.

If you want to ensure that academics don't self-censor out of fear of reprasials, you could prove to potential authors that their fears are baseless, or you could provide mitigations for their fears. Or, you could do both.

So exactly how many people need to be beaten or murdered for the act of existing before it counts as a lot?

Also if the number of hate crimes has increased while the average rate of violent crime has decreased it means that the /relative/ rate of hate crimes has increased even further. This isn’t anomalous, it’s a simply that in the face of a long term decrease in violent crime, various minorities have become an increasingly “acceptable” target for many people. Not helped by a group of politicians who demonize multiple minorities as part of there basic political platform, including the claim that people who vote against them aren’t “real Americans”.
Yes a city is run to serve its citizens. If they can better serve their citizens by bringing in a major employer then that seems on-mission to me.

>In America, the right to bear arms has caused massive discord, same with same sex marrage, leagal marijuana, black lives matter... not to mention discussions about political leaders. In other countries similar discord is sown regarding Brexit in the UK, Aslyim seekers in Australia, Climate change. Each of these debates have been accompanied on both sides by a range of discussions with debatable facts.

Maximised and polarised to the maximum by the media. That is the real common component here. Most people would be apathetic to those issues, if it wasn't for the media bombarding them and pissing them off.
Nah that is the same stuff as with story about Nigerians hired to train AI on pictures. If GitLab would be paying everyone the same they would make trouble for themselves and people that they hire. Having gangs of people in low wage countries that you feed with money is not recipe for healthy company.

It is the same with factory workers, ideally you should pay them all the same and as much as you can. But when you start doing it all kinds of problems pop up like it is not sustainable because people want more, and factory does not earn as much. Then they strike and factory goes bankrupt, no more work.

If you will get concentration of people from one locale it is big risk for remote company. If company at some point will have to pull out from that locale because politics/taxes change for instance that is huge risk for those employees.

Social justice is not as easy as "give people because they deserve".

Location is not a non-issue. What you are saying is only true if the company doesn't care if its employees are colocated or not.
"That my gender or my age or my ethnicity or my sexual orientation or my weight or my clothes might (will!) have an impact on the perceived quality of the software I build."

After nearly three decades writing software, I'd say if that's the case, you're probably at the wrong place. With such circumstances I'd suspect a whole lot of other bad things are probably true, too.
Sowing discord is how change happens. Why are we blaming this ALL on Russia to seemingly keep a status quo intact? The whole Russian thing seems like a propaganda campaign by the FBI to keep people hooked on the status quo, that anything outside of the norm is obviously Vladimir Putin's doings.

Martin Luther King Jr sowed discord and divided society in beneficial and positive ways. Take a look at the Poor People's Campaign. How could civil rights have taken place if they didn't change people's minds?

Totally agree with you about the need to click "+" and then remove two lines you don't want. I was planning a drop-down as you suggest.

Then I got a full-time job and have stopped working Estigator for now.

It's really nice and encouraging to hear the feedback and read the bug reports on HN. I think the most likely next step for Estigator is for it to become an open source hobby project. Still mulling things over.

So - no newsletter sign up (privacy policies, GDPR, bler) - but I will certainly announce at https://www.rmorrison.net (my personal homepage) if I ever move things along.
I get the feeling it's path-dependent. If I start uptown and you start downtown the algorithm could potentially show us two different cities. So we would have to agree on a city beforehand.
If the government is telling Facebook how to moderate their platform, wouldn't that be a violation of the 1rst amendment? Since it would be the government actively trying to restrict what someone else can say?

People need to remember that if/when a GH repo is nuked from orbit, it also nukes ALL forks done in GH.

If you download, and then re-upload into your account, then it's not a "fork" per se, and won't disappear if/when the banhammer comes down.

Then again, this is the problem of centralization of a decentralized protocol! You are putting people whom dont have your interests at heart in control.
One might make the case that the cities were not acting rationally.
Not everything that happens in law is done through voting though and thus the legislation and lobbying done is studied. I remember someone publishing some results showing that for as little as $50k to a politician’s campaign you can get a return on investment many times over depending upon your industry. In fact, I’d argue the most important things that happen in government is what we do not get to vote on, which is part of why voting is so important - the elected officials fill in the differential.

Of course, as I might be with a new road project or any other commitment. As is Amazon even if their CEO is fired. I suppose I don't understand the relevance of pointing out the obvious here. If we're asserting fraud, that is a different discussion, otherwise we live with decisions by decision makers, some beyond their term.

Indeed, it’s a little disappointing how reliably the tired argument of “no one is forcing them to” comes out on HN, as if generations of social reforms addressing such arguments as “no one is forcing impoverished families to send their children to the factories” never happened. Your observation is an excellent encapsulation: All actors are behaving rationally, to a net social loss, and thus the rules need to change.

Yep, and in both cases high CoL markets they are paying low and in low CoL markets companies that don't do this are paying much higher. At the end of the day you aren't going to draw "the best" of employees by paying local market rates.

Buffer's is hilarious, mostly because they are claiming Seattle and Boulder both have "average" cost of living. So they are still favoring employees, but the low CoL people are being paid way more than the high due to their garbage CoL calculator.
Like instagram stars they should be required to clearly indicated when their post/quip/speech has been sponsored and who by. This would not be a bad thing at all.

ImmutableJS is a pretty huge library. I'd conjecture most web apps don't have a legitimate need for something so comprehensive and would be better off with a simpler solution.

If you know the shapes of your objects ahead of time you can create one-off functions, which will probably be faster and require far less code.

They all have large tourism industries based off of said scenic beauty and want to protect it. This is openly stated.
We definitely should want competition in the governance market. But it needs to take the form of neutral rules instead of sweetheart deals for particular firms. It’s the latter that I would like to ban. The U.S. constitution has an analogous clause, the prohibition of "bills of attainder" against individuals.

Not quite. iPhone VPN settings are limited to the protocols that Apple has built into iOS (primarily IPsec). If you want something different like WireGuard, you need a separate app.
Last I heard, other MPs so keen to make sure that the UK wouldn't go for No Deal, they were threatening to make sure that the government couldn't get the changes to law required to make it possible through: https://twitter.com/TomMcTague/status/1061897525467234304

Of course, this doesn't stop No Deal from happening, because it happens automatically on March 29th unless something changes... but it does ensure that it will be a complete and utter shitshow which will naturally be blamed entirely on Brexit supporters by the UK press.

So that's basically the state of UK politics.

There's no real confusion about that concept of authenticity on Facebook. They want all humans above a certain age to have a single account with the same name that they use in real life. And they don't want those accounts controlled directly or indirectly by third parties. We can argue about whether this a good policy, but it's always been reasonably clear and consistent.

Can't really do that because it would be called a "cartel". But otherwise: yes, please!

It would be perfectly legitimate for federal rules restricting ruinous competitions such as these. There are, in fact, many examples: Minimum wage, or the workplace safety and wage restrictions in trade deals like NAFTA, or very explicit rules against certain subsidies.

Sane jurisdictions that consider the possibility that cooperation may, in very rare and limited circumstances, not the end of humanity are much stricter: the EU limits subsidies to temporary measures only, and also puts limits on bespoke tax deals with individual companies.
But he's complaining about them only listening to top 40s music. And nothing else he's said implies that only generic mass consumption pop culture matters. Naming a band doesn't imply naming mainstream band, it just implies name A band, ANY band, and have a bit of preference or taste. Same for movies.
