Thank you, "cost of labor" is precisely the point.

Just say "we pay the local market rate where you live" and if that's true, you won't have any problem with your offers. If the developer in Canberra expects a Mountain View salary they will presumably explain to you why that's in your interest, and you can be convinced or not. Everyone else will be OK with the local market rate, because markets.

Publishing your "Canberra Disadvantage Index" doesn't seem likely to get you anything but people complaining on the Internet.

(Though I do wonder what GitLab would do if they find someone in Canberra they really want to hire and she already makes a San Francisco wage. My guess is they hire her and ask her to keep quiet about the salary.)
Isn't it their choice to make?
The right place to fix the long line issue is on the browser side, with user in control of what makes the line "long" - since it's inherently a subjective metric.

If most websites were like this one, I could write a simple one-page CSS that formatted them the way I want - including fonts, colors, lines etc. As originally intended by this whole HTML thing.
Yeah, I agree it would be nice to have some theoretical guarantees on the architecture we need based on the problem, and the size of the data
If you want to shoot me an email I could help port it to the vive? I might just need a few detailed instructions and I can figure it out from there.

What is interesting about these posts is how diffuse the messages are - it's more about causing divisions then pushing any single cause.
Curious: where were your ancestors from?
To provide some feedback:

1. display weights and gradients (in addition to activations)

2. display how activations/weights/gradients change during training. For example, I should be able to point to checkpoint directory where my model is saved every epoch (or every few iterations), and then hit 'play' button to see how a particular feature map or weights filter is changing as I move between epochs/iterations.

3. display which inputs contribute the most to the activations, at every layer.

These additional features would be very useful for debugging, for model compression, for identifying information flows (e.g. in a DenseNet), for saliency analysis, and probably for other things as well.
Do you calculate the rate with accurate inputs for the specific candidate's location, or do you use the rough categorization of living areas that's in your online calculator?
As someone on the sidelines with no explanation in either, but interest in where all this is going, can you share what exactly you do with TF or pytorch?

What actual product(ive) things?
I still remember the excitement the first time I saw a URL on a billboard, probably 1995, and it was for a sci-fi movie (although which, I no longer remember).

Freedom is slavery; ignorance is strength.

You're constructing a scenario to justify an abstract argument. The wall is the only salient feature in the walled garden metaphor. There's no terror lurking outside.

If you mean to imply that Apple's oversight has some advantages, such as security, that's a separate issue.

In the context of Apple's app store rules, the wall refers to Apple's rules. The absence of those rules does not reduce your freedom as a developer; you're can still abide by them without Apple requiring your to do so. But you have more choice without the rules.
I learned Postgres while playing around with nfldb years ago. Great experience.

Thank you for all your work, those are some very impressive projects.
Wow so that’s how they got the money for that. Can somebody tell me what the point of those streetcars are? They’re just slow buses that are limited to tracks.
noselasd ain't wrong. Autopilots can and do disconnect when the weather conditions exceed their ability. Happens all the time, though probably not often in large airliners because the big carriers have people dedicated to watching the weather and keeping their pilots out of trouble. Your state machine will have to do that, too.
thanks, that is helpful!
Their employee handbook is clear on that: you need to inform them and they'll offer a you a new contract at the reduced rate.

I wouldn't say I have "a lot" of applications installed, although I'm not too sure how to quantify that.

I assumed it WinSxS related as the other reply mentions, and upon investigation found that it is 9GB alone! I don't run Windows outside of work so I've just never really bothered looking into it, but if it continues to balloon I guess I'll have to.
ha, Not really. We are using Giraffe though, which is pretty close to the "S" (Saturn, which is a layer on top of Giraffe).
Right, and if that's done on a national level creating a level playing field, then everything is fine. The businesses can't just leave the US at this point. These companies still need headquarters in the US. They just no longer get to balance their finances on the back of tax breaks. They'll have to, gasp, make money selling their products.

As much as the boogieman of "teh globalizations" gets thrown out any time anyone suggests any attempts to regulate domestic markets, you can't just move everything away from the US. The labor force is needed. The consumer market is needed. The infrastructure is needed. The proximity to other companies is needed. The real estate is needed.
It's a solution to a collective action problem. Amazon has offered a prisoner's dilemma to cities, and it's extremely hard to avoid someone defecting. By making it illegal to defect, everyone benefits, except Amazon (in this case).

e.g. imagine no one had offered any incentive to Amazon. They almost certainly would have ended up in NYC and Washington D.C. anyway, but the taxpayers in those locations would be saved footing the bill for their arrival and taxpayers elsewhere would be saved footing the bill for coming up with proposals, which only existed as leverage for Amazon in getting a better deal elsewhere. Likwise competitors with Amazon would not have to contend with a rival who is getting government subsidies. Overall the free market actually benefits from this intervention.
> Huh? For government jobs, people are in it for the healthcare and the pension.

The question you should be asking is, why is the default CSS in your browser making unstyled websites uncomfortable to read? The browser could provide sane defaults for margins etc. It just chooses not to - probably because everything it renders is going to be styled anyway, so why bother?

Ironically, the "reading mode" thing that is becoming popular is essentially that - stripping the page of most of its custom styling, and then applying some sensible default style. It's like we went full circle, all the way back to pre-CSS times.
Also if your company's only assets are some sales leads, you're already not doing great.

> It is illegal for a laser pointer, where most people defer to the FDA definition of "... handheld lasers that are promoted for pointing out objects or locations."

No the law in question defines the term, it doesn't defer to the FDA; Cal. Penal Code § 417.27(f): «As used in this section, “laser pointer” has the same meaning as set forth in subdivision (c) of Section 417.25»

Cal. Penal Code § 417.25(c): «As used in this section, “laser pointer” means any hand held laser beam device or demonstration laser product that emits a single point of light amplified by the stimulated emission of radiation that is visible to the human eye.»
> Tensorflow 2.0 will be a major milestone for the most popular machine learning framework: lots of changes are coming, and all with the aim of making ML accessible to everyone. These changes, however, requires for the old users to completely re-learn how to use the framework

I never felt like I was not re-learning tensorflow! A constant series of breackage, deprecations, new apis etc.
I'm not an NFL insider. I don't know what they do internally. I only know that 1) the undocumented NFL GameCenter JSON is not 100% accurate and that 2) any user of a fantasy league would notice these inaccuracies. I did a test a while back by comparing GameCenter data with Yahoo's data. Kickers tend to have the most inaccuracies: https://github.com/BurntSushi/nflgame/blob/master/test-data/... QB stats are more solid for example, but there are still minor problems: https://github.com/BurntSushi/nflgame/blob/master/test-data/...

From those observations, you can't really make any solid conclusions. But if you think about it for a bit, you might be able to reason your way to some guesses. For example, one possibility is that the GameCenter data is NFL's own construction that's only used for their GameCenter interfaces, where as places that "official" data is needed might be powered by Elias[1]. Why the discrepancy? Again, I don't know. It could be legacy software related. It could be contract/legal related. Or it could jus tbe plain old bugs. e.g., Maybe GameCenter hooks into an initial lossy but fast feed that is updated during the game, but never receives updates from a slower but more accurate feed later.

Or maybe the NFL purposely inserts data canaries because they know this JSON feed is unprotected, and they intend on using those data canaries to detect folks using their data in an unlicensed fashion. I'm pretty sure IMDb does this, for example. Or maybe they just insert errors purposely to make it too costly for anyone to use this data in situations that require 100% accuracy (like fantasy football leagues).

My guess is some innocuous blend of legal and legacy software reasons.

I recently finished reading "An Instinct for Dragons" by David E Jones, which goes the route of arguing that the composite image we have of the dragon is created by unifying the three main predators of early humans: serpents, big cats and raptors.

This is used to explain common characteristics of the dragon, such as the scales and serpentine nature, the fangs, claws and cat-eyes, and the wings and talons. You can even see incomplete composites in other mythological beasts, such as gryffins, feathered serpents, harpies, sphinxes and manticores.

The dragon image is then used to tell stories about our ideal relationships to predators, the unknown and to power.

It was a fascinating book, and I'd heartily recommend it to anyone who wants to learn more about the concept of the dragon.
Flipkart CEO Exits Walmart After Unverified Sexual Assault Claim
those same bureaucrats make billion dollar promises to public employee unions that are not sustainable but you won't see nearly the protest against that as with this deal. pension deals that are given for promise of reelection support. promises the politician won't have to be there when the city, state, or county, cannot pay them out. This is happening all across the US with estimates in the hundreds of billions of unfunded liabilities.

tax breaks to corporations at least have the promise of taxable income directly or indirectly later on. so if we are to claim there need to be limits on those types of expenditures we need to be honest and make it for all promises above a certain dollar amount.
You might be right but that doesn't reflect my own experience. I tend prefer native applications when using my mobile phone and I only use the browser for consuming text content. When it comes to more interactive experiences like maps, booking tickets, ordering food, social media etc. I definitely prefer native applications.
Quite neat! Some constructive feedback - I think in addition to mouse controls, having keyboard 'spaceship' flying around is pretty important. I would also try to add model interprability tools (SmoothGrad) as an option, and perhaps contact some of those researchers to see how this can best be used for model understanding (I would guess visualizing grad flows / weights is more interesting than just layers).

PS I actually worked on something similar, was quite fun... http://www.andreykurenkov.com/projects/major_projects/KerasJ...
>I keep saying "nuclear", you keep saying "no".

Uhhhh, I never said no to nuclear. I said at best it's a bandaid.

We have a few decades to make some very considerable changes, maybe two centuries to find alternative means of energy (fusion, mining asteroids for PV and battery materials etc as there's a very finite amount of the materials needed for manufacturing batteries and panels on earth too).

People like to say nuclear is our savior but, at current energy production levels, with a moderate estimate for continued growth, there's maybe 100 years of fuel there. Nuclear just isn't a solution for the world's energy needs, it however is a GREAT solution for generating considerable amounts of power in small spaces (ice breakers, submarines) and for portable power for emergencies like with the Russian floating nuclear power stations (Google the Akademik Lomonosov).
The fundamental principle-agent issue here, is that startup-y people, who thrive on small teams getting stuff done, are essential for getting a startup up the ground; however it is exactly the point where startups hold the least cash to compensate with.

This generally leads to stock-option based compensation; which, in turn, expires 30 days after employee leaves.

This economics -as practiced presently- strongly implies for savvy startupy people to work only on startups of their own; which in turn makes early hiring extremely difficult.

There are 2 points of equilibrium here:

* The current one is people leading less savvy people on. This leads to a lot of resentment; see rest of HN for that.

* a much less wrong solution would be to have secondary markets set up significantly earlier in the game (post series a); which would make stock & options immediate liquid. Despite sales difficulties(for finding counter parties for that), this can be a huge advantage during hiring, as employees don’t have to take on lottery tickets; and allow early employees to resign with much less resentment.
Accelerometers are a great choice of sensor in this application imo, why not use them?

GPS would be an alternative, but pricier and probably less reliable.
There are of course a variety of ways to measure height above water like ultrasonic or radar sensors but good luck water sealing them and keeping them oriented downward in this application.
I don't really care all that much about how safe a given mode of transportation is on average. I care about how safe it is on my particular trip.

With both flying and driving you can take steps to get better than average odds.

With flying, you can pick airlines that have a better safety record. You can schedule your trips to avoid flying in bad weather. Flying nonstop, or minimizing layovers if you cannot get nonstop, should help, too.

With driving, you can pick a car that has good crash protection. You can keep your car well maintained. You can travel at times when accident rates are lower. You can pick routes with low accident rates. You can drive like you are a 35+ year old female. You can drive at a time when you are sober, not on drugs, well rested, and healthy.

There's so much variation on the driving side, I doubt it is possible to actually figure out the risk if someone takes most or all of those steps.

> The reality is that every major desktop system has issues, but at least with Linux, if you learn enough about the plumbing, you can go in and try to fix or work around issues that arise.

Have you ever tried that? You'll find that the plumbing consists of 20 different standards of pipe cobbled together over the past 30 years by dozens of different plumbers, each with their own conception of how plumbing should work but too lazy to tear out the whole thing and replace it so they just patch in their change with duct tape and rubber bands.

And worse, that's the culture the community seems to prefer. Case in point: the one guy who's shown a willingness to unify that plumbing, Lennart Pottering, is loathed for being successful at it.
The article also uses "this is a study".

So I decided to use "this is a psycologist".

Both of which are factually correct. If it makes, it appeal to authority in my case then it's equally applicable to the study defined in the article.

See, i am not presenting here any groundbreaking theory or refuting anything stated in the article but merely stating my experience.

How can it make me a crackpot?
O RLY. So you claim your average sixty year old with (in your example) 20 years of experience owning a personal computer, is somehow so technologically illiterate as to be unable to utilize browser bookmarks, desktop links, or write down a URL on a post-it note? Alternately, are we pretending that smartphones aren't utterly pervasive in all demographics, including people's grandparents? I mean, yeah, if you absolutely had to you could probably cruise the local K&R cafeteria for the odd outlier who is totally technologically illiterate, but that group is also unable to utilize social media to any extent either and so aren't particularly germane to the conversation. So no, outside of the minds of a handful of programmers, there is no real obstacle.
Current recommendations systems for FB, Google/YouTube have switched from models that try to increase immediate engagement to models that try to increase retention because it turned out that optimizing for immediate engagement decreases retention. (Latter is obviously much harder ML task requiring Q-learning, longer data series, etc.) In other words companies choose to sacrifice immediate revenue in order to increase long-term (optimally life-time) revenue from each particular user.

You can see it an example of early precursor of ML that shapes user behavior: learning what motivates user to return and then displaying it.
Sure. Only the moment federal govt decides to use that to restrict Amazon's (any company's, really) ability to choose locations, said location will be moved outside of US altogether. Who'll benefit from that?

"One million dollars in tax breaks" means City A agrees to receive (N-1) million instead of N million from Amazon (and its employees).

"Tax break" doesn't necessarily mean "effective taxes are set to zero".
That's probably true, but that's the opposite of what the article is talking about. Transitioning from nothing to startup to small business is not the same as working at multibillion international company.

> Uncensored but not unbiased. Until 2013, Radio Free Asia and other Voice of America related broadcasts were banned in the US since it was considered propaganda.

That's just wrong. For one, VOA/RFA/etc. aren't "banned" and it's hard to believe how they could be without active jamming. They're were just forbidden to direct their broadcasts at American audiences. The concern was that the government should not be in the business of competing with existing American media organizations. If there was any concern about the content of the broadcasts, it appears to have stemmed from the idea that the State Department, which used to run it, had too many communists in it.

Are you seriously considering an employee's PERSONAL life for setting their wage??? That's bananas!

That's like saying that I'll work for free cause the boss wants to buy his wife a new ferrari.

Bottom line is that you pay market rate for the programmer. Whether he is programming out of a cardboard box in slum or working in a golden palace in Switzerland, it should not matter cause to the employee, your personal life does not matter. Any body that hears any of these reasons during a salary negotiation or raise should immediately look for work elsewhere. I know I would.

Granted, I do believe there is wiggle room for personal reasons("I just had a baby" etc)but gitlab should be paying employees based on the value they bring the company and/or market rate.
Ah you're right. A click would indicate user is interested while an impression is that they just saw it.
I don't understand your argument.

Municipalities have no influence over H1s. But even then, providing choice access to H1 programs is not the problem here. That might even be beneficial, moreover, that's a national program.

"And who is going to limit them?" "Cities are not self limiting."

??? The law. If it's illegal for a city or state to give money to private companies that there's not much need for populist oversight, because it's against the law.

Because the benefits don’t scale down. For a 25k person office I’m looking at revitalization of my city’s downtown, support restaurants, etc. Through scale they’re actually creating a lot of value. If a ten-man team comes to town no new restaurants will result. So you can’t get the same gain.
