Most of them aren't hedge funds, they're private (HFT, Electronic Trading, Botique Firms, Proprietary Trading are all terms you'll hear) so they don't have public data. It is literally impossible to prove without insider information.

However the Virtu Financials, the Citadels, etc, will always exist, and will be doing exceptionally well whether people realize it or not.

Wow, I thought this treatment was gaining traction but the article makes it seem like the opposite.
Yelp is one of those YMMV apps. Absolutely terrible for smaller cities like Albuquerque, NM.

I miss the days when their competitor, Urbanspoon, was really pushing the envelope on a great customer experience and review variety.
This might not be helpful, but I decided to rely on serendipity. Sometimes I feel like we think too much about finding the best of the 'best' and we rely on expert opinions of the crowd instead of taking a chance ourselves and trying out new things.
Ask HN: What do you do to boost creativity?
Consensus does not have the best track record in science. Much better is the actual evidence and experimentation instead of what people who call themselves "scientists" think about the evidence.
There is tons of opportunities in smaller markets that RT or others have no interest in, however.

100% agree, I don’t need or want an app for yelp. The web can support their use case entirely so I close it whenever I get redirected to yelp.

I always appreciated Fourquares more straight forward Good, OK, bad approach to reviewing.
I understood they do NOT hide reviews unless you pay; so if you get bad reviews you can sign up and hide them.

But perhaps they do the other thing that you suggest too.
Well, being an employee gives you exclusive access to the best fund in existence by far (35% return every year for decades). Nobody is going to want to kill their golden goose.
Where it fails is the "banter"

Actually, where it fails is breaking news.

Former newsman here, too. And I remember staying on the air for 12, 24, 36 hours or more with no commercials during breaking news (hurricanes, flooding, etc...), and it's not something any AI will be up to in our lifetimes.
How would a vaccine help someone who already has rabies?

"The world is not an engineering problem." Pretty clear if you ask me.

What if we invented some gene therapy that could make everyone instantly and painlessly racially ambiguous? All looking like Simpsons characters or something. We could just poof and everyone would be the same! It would go so far towards eliminating racism and prejudice, which is unarguably a good goal. Some questions, though:

1. Would this really enrich human experience? Would it be "right"?
2. If someone didn't want the treatment would it be right to force them to accept it, even though it might end racism?
3. Would this actually end prejudice?
4. Could this technology ever exist?

The authors answers would be: "Nope", "Definitely not", "Almost certainly no", and "If it couldn't or we have no plans to make it, why even discuss it?" Now think about it like this:

1. Will Facebook having "better algorithms" end fake news?
2. Will Google and Apple adding fancy new apps end smartphone addiction?
3. Will cute little notes from Discord in their app end our huge lack of participation in democracy?

The author would say no to all of them, and he's right.
> Modern physics depends on a number of concepts that were originally considered impossible for materialist explanations,

It depends on a lot of things that were considered impossible, but not things that are logically incompatible with materialism.

> So, it seems prima facie your claim that immaterial explanations have never been able to adequately answer any question to be incorrect.

No, all the things you point to are material explanations.
Just watch the original and it's obviously different than the GIF in question.
I agree. I'm not opposed to Trump, and I don't understand why this has been getting the attention it has. It's silly. He obviously didn't intend to hurt the woman, and she doesn't appear to be hurt. Trump can pull Acosta's press credentials if he wants - that's consistent with his past behavior anyhow. Using this as a rationale for doing so seems more childish than is typical to me.
I think they could have leveraged their friends system to weigh the reviews more based on "people like you". In other words, use all that data to show the rating they think you'll give (a la Netflix).
I set up my business profile pretty thoroughly, and only ended up getting one or two sales calls and a couple of emails that I unsubscribed from. Maybe they hard-sell other business types more, but I didn't really get much.

I did end up helping the restaurant down the block when they got scammed by a service claiming to be Yelp, that actually took over their profile and was making them pay to make changes to it. I think a lot of supposed "Yelp scammed me" stories are actually that - third parties.
That would be one hell of a fluke. Rabies kills about 17,000 people a year, and excluding the Milwaukee protocol survivor, only 13 untreated survivors are known to have ever existed. It is basically completely and utterly fatal if left untreated.
Tripadvisor has always been best for me, in the UK, but you do have to interpret reviews carefully.
It was honestly faster to do a lot of searches with the old paper Zagat books than modern Yelp, since they were compiled by people who understood the cities they were covering.

I don't remember this being as much of an issue when Yelp launched? It seems like there are certain restaurants (advertisers? mathematically trending places?) that they're determined to shoehorn into any search result.

Also, it's frustrating how every review site I've tried constantly turns off the "open now" filter. I get that people want to plan tomorrow's lunch at 10pm, but other people just want to quickly find a decent place to take their hungry friends.
Arguably this is already happening. Governments and transnational corporations are "AIs" in the sense that their macro-level behavior is largely determined by systematic structure and incentives, not individual decision-making. No individual human has influence over the whole, and those at individual points in the system are incentivized only to fulfill their particular role instead of look out for the system in general.

Capitalism itself, can be viewed as just a giant paperclip maximizer.
The thing about yelp that's nice is you can see aggregates, rather than some individual persons good or bad review. This includes, what dishes are popular at a particular place, and how popular regardless of any one opinion is a given restaurant (number of reviews). Additionally, being able to filter for niche things such as specific regional ethnic restaurants.

The actual reviews themselves are honestly the worst part of the whole site.

Our query complexity and query response times follow a somewhat exponential pattern, with a lot of quick queries and a long tail of more monstrous queries.

We do have a large number of very complex queries coming in. What we deem to be towards the "simple" end could easily be hundreds of terms, wildcard, near and phrase operators. "Difficult" queries are things with hundreds of thousands of terms or many wildcards within nears/phrases that expand to millions of term combinations.

For Meltwaters customers it's usually important to get both very high recall and precision in the dataset described by a query. Since it's very little about getting a ranked result list and finding a hit (e.g. like what Google does). It's much more about running analytics/dashboards/reports/trends over the dataset delineated by the query, and exactness in the analytics matter a lot to Meltwater customers.

This all makes for complicated queries, to get both high precision and recall for whatever a customer is interested in analyzing. Our sales and support organizations help customers write good queries, and we also use AI systems to generate queries
Of course, thank you for asking.
An ordinary notebook only lets you order notes linearly. As soon as you try out different paths and switch back and forth between them, for example, different models, you can lose the overview. With the graph, for any result, you can always go back an understand exactly where it came from.
We make this extra easy by letting you plot the notes according to the parameters they are tagged with. You can try it in the live demo by clicking on the graph button on the top left and select "model_name" and "mae" to compare how the models performed.
Besides this (compared to Evernote or a paper notebook), we also have a python client that lets you integrate documentation directly into taking data from equipment or data science.

But maybe you're right and I should have ignored it...
It's not nearly as pithy, but I think that this line from "Big Ball of Mud" captured something essential:

I really love this philosophy. Thank you for taking the time to share.

Many developers can see the value in open source software. This philosophy claims even more value (user freedom/liberty) can added to groups outside developers by creating "open implementation software". The practicality and feasibility of this design philosophy are one story (that is probably not worth arguing over without evidence). The idea of empowering users to understand the implementation at even a rudimentary level resonates with a lot of frustrations I've had as a babied user of some software. I will try to design with this philosophy on my next personal project and see how it works!
The author uses stock market as a toy example. He is not actually attempting to do serious forecasting.

Only comparing the prediction accuracy against simpler models like ARIMA or VARMAX (as the author suggest) can tell you if the model has any use.
The practical takeaway here underscores the advice in Auerbach's authoritative text Wilderness Medicine. If a person interacts with potentially rabid animals and that interaction results in even the smallest scratch or contact with saliva the victim should undergo rabies treatment and if possible have the animal undergo necroscopy.

The odds of surviving rabies once it becomes symptomatic are negligible. They can throw the hail Mary from the 5 yard line in a snowstorm but the chances of winning the game with it are slim.
Ask HN: Small but rapidly growing categories?
I'm wondering if anyone has some good examples of emerging industries (or segments of those industries) that are still under a billion dollars in revenue per year, but are experiencing double digit growth.

I'll start with an example - Deception Technology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deception_technology - according to the wikipedia article, some analysts put it at under a billion dollars and show it growing. This is the space I'm in with my current startup (https://www.tamarin.us)

What other "early adopter" categories like these are out there?
What other services have you tried?
I used to run a technical analysis site for exchange traded funds (ETFs).

Skipping to the "results" of this experiment, I am seeing nothing. It looks like a slow, short period moving average (SMA)... which does nothing in terms of predicting anything. It just averages out the chaos over time.

Fuck Yelp. They’ve been deleting my reviews of restaurants that haven’t paid them enough.
They did - they bought Eat24 in 2015 and then sold it to GrubHub earlier this year.
Informed Delivery is great!

Tried to remedy it, not available at my ACTUAL address.
You can actually order delivery on Yelp through Grubhub.

The vaccine is extremely effective if taken between the bite and when symptoms occur. If treated properly and promptly, you have basically a 100% chance of living. As symptoms begin to show up, the chance of survival drops rapidly to 0%.

Yelp tends to be worse outside the US so I tend to agree Tripadvisor is relatively better. But in the US, I'll often look at Tripadvisor for B&Bs etc. but I tend to come back to Yelp for restaurants.
I'm pretty sure that lifetime NDA is a myth. It gets repeated very often (like a lot of the Renaissance mythos) but I haven't seen evidence for it, and on its face it sounds flagrantly unenforceable. It could be that the compensation alone substantially reduces turnover. Likewise once they've hit "their number", employees may decide to go into tech or philanthropy instead of a competing firm.

For what it's worth, Renaissance (remarkably, in my opinion) advertised a role in the most recent Who's Hiring thread.
So, a timer?
>> And civil engineers should build bad bridges to build them again a bit later? And doctors?

It's different because civil engineers and doctors will get sued if they mess up.
Software engineers are generally not held responsible for their own work.
Even big software consulting firms like IBM have had their share of multimillion dollar failed projects and the repercussions for them have been minimal - They still keep getting big contracts from governments around the world;
they say that no one ever got fired from choosing IBM... Maybe they should be!

There is a tendency to put all the responsibility on project managers who don't understand the code.
Companies are terrified of giving their engineers any leverage so they will do everything in their power to avoid it; that means hiring more project managers, implementing more strict project management practices (e.g. rigidly adhering to all Agile/Scrum practices), using more advanced project management tools (e.g. Jira instead of Trello), using more rigid frameworks and platforms (e.g. TypeScript instead of JavaScript), more thorough testing (100% unit and integration test coverage), etc...

Success in the tech industry is so centralized (winner-takes-it-all) that the efficiency of programming practices don't matter at all.
Most top engineers at top companies are good at comming up with complex solutions which give them more leverage over their employers.

When conducting job interviews, companies don't differentiate between engineers who love coding from those who love money. That's a big mistake.
At least on a subconscious level, the engineer who prefers money is mentally hardwired to increase complexity while the other engineer is hardwired to reduce complexity.
It'd be really easy to connect a remote UHF radio to a stream, and ATC would never know. Get your clearance, taxi on to the runway, take off, say "have a nice day EIGHTTWOJULIET" as you clear their airspace.

maybe someone would look in the cabin and think it was weird they didn't see a head waving back, but in most cases i'd doubt it.
I have similar questions if @rauchg is still reading. We just got a premium account and was setting up Dockerfiles and now.json based on Now 1.0.

All, I want to do is provide a Dockerfile that included a cross-platform build process. Including now specific build tools is not ideal for avoiding vendor-lock in.

Now has amazing for us to build prototypes, internal sites etc that we may eventually move to our standardized AWS infrastructure. Adding now specific build tools makes the process unusable for us

I understand from the docs that Now 1.0 is not deprecated yet, but it bothers me to invest more time in converting some of our internal projects to Now

They hide reviews of newly active users without histories. The idea (at least) is to prevent fraud of owners asking their friends to make yelp accounts.

The same way HN uses green usernames.
Interesting that they discuss pulling via human labor but not with bullocks, which the pharaonic Egyptians did have. Could it be there are no such pictures of animals pulling stones?
It is helpful, this just might not be the most receptive crowd. I agree with you 100% fwiw.
I’ve recently visited Santa Cruz, where I rode my first jump bike. I had an absolute blast with it, raved about it to friends non-stop for weeks. More recently, I experienced my first Bird scooter (and Lime) in Indianapolis. I did many fun things there so I didn’t expect that these silly scooters to be the highlight of the trip, but they were.

Aside from being an insanely fun and effective way to get around a city, my favorite thing about them stems from my hatred of cars. I own a car. But selfishly only like cars when its _my_ car and _I_ am driving it. Other than that, I think they’re dangerous, loud, expensive, terrible for the environment, and far too plentiful in crowded city streets. They crash and congest roads shared with public transit, wreaking havoc daily commutes, oh and they frequently murder the more tender specimens on the road.

I get disappointed when I see people complaining about these scooters and bikes “cluttering up the walkways” and pedestrians having “dangerous encounters”. I will admit it I saw a fair number of scooters that had fallen over on walkways. It really didn’t faze me. Walk around it. Step over it. Pick it up if you’re in a great mood. Maybe society needs time to adjust and develop more etiquette. It could be handled better, but to call this an immediate “problem” is just wrong— And what are the stats on scooter vs. pedestrian fatalities?

This debate reminds me of the hiker vs. equestrian vs. mountain biker tension. We all want to use the same trails and it’s a bit contentious. Hikers feel threatened by the fast moving bikers. Bikers are inconvenienced by people walking slowly on the trails. The horses are just taking 6LB dumps all over the path for everyone else to step in and ride through. They all try to lobby and ban one another from using the trails. Nobody seems to care about anything they aren’t partaking in.

In the end, people should be open to alternative forms of transportation that are effective regardless of whether they utilize it. I think these bike and scooter shares represent a massive objective improvement over cars, and even public transit. It might take some time for etiquette and city planning to catch up, but we need to check the hall monitor mentality and give it time, for the greater good.

>In France it was actually the norm for cellular data, and the hellish nightmare of favoring one own service was even advertised ("with universal mobile, you get unlimited data for universal music service!!!").

Took me a minute to parse, since I didn't realize that universal was the name of a content company, rather than a service plan's name and access to all music.

Kind of reminds me of the (also French) company Total, who seems like they were invented to make tabulation charts about the oil industry hard to read.
Yeah, a better name for these kinds of funds is "independent research groups." Edgestream is an example of another. Renaissance is the most (in)famous one, but many others exist which profitably manage tens to low hundreds of billions while employing only 10 - 100 people.
when I signed up for this I put in my apartment number for my building, but apparently usps thought I should get all mail for the whole building. I had to cancel it as there was so much noise. But they didn't do any verification or anything, which was kind of scary.
Ask HN: Container orchestrator for single host deployments?
I want to deploy my project (python app, nginx, postgres, redis, elasticsearch, exim, and also want to add a logging stack) on a single VPS instance, I actually tried docker-compose/docker-swarm and it's total pain, from not being able to get the client real IP in nginx thanks to iptables masquerades shitshow, ulimits not working in swarm mode, can't address fluentd logging driver from other services in my bridge network by its name and not being able to having replicas in docker-compose are what I remember currently. I guess docker-compose/swarm is totally painful. I know kubernetes and I totally like it but it's very hard to deploy in a single machine, I also fiddled with nomad but it's probably architected also for multi-machine deployments. Is there any reasonable orchestrator that can be applied to single machine deployments? I just need something like docker-swarm but actually works!
Just looked this up--it's apparently called "Informed Delivery Interactive Campaigns". They use the example of a mailer advertising an online sale: recipients with Informed Delivery can click on the link right from the USPS dashboard to the sale website. They have a bunch of analytics you can get and the whole thing looks pretty sophisticated.

As far as I can tell, this is all free to mailers, at least for the moment. Maybe they're planning on charging for it later.
