> On one hand, you have computer science majors who know theory but can’t code their way out of a wet paper bag.

If their plan in life is to do research on theoretical CS, does it matter? That being said, I doubt that these are that many of them considering that most CS degrees focus on programming.

> And let’s not forget the computer science majors who can code and know theory but don’t know anything about business or how to communicate and deal with large organizations.

They have a CS degree, not a business or management one.

I use these to teach students the principles of good data visualization. He had an incredible eye for contrast, detail, and believed infographics should tell a story, not just present a lot of data. Most relevant for today, he and his team did each one of these by hand, and most of the work was in designing the visualization's structure, not playing around with code and numbers.

The black and green chart about slavery is just incredible. With only 9 data points, he tells a moral story, he shares a perspective, and he educates the rest of the world on our peculiar institution. These visualizations are just incredible considering the tools they had to work with and the lack of formal data visualization science.
I love that you’re completely ignoring that I’m making a broad, philosophical recommendation that people need to fundamentally focus on improving their diets and engaging in a specific type of exercise proven to improve glucose disposal and your only response is to be snarky.
Block only works after you know which users. At a certain scale it stops being “particular people get a grudge against you” and becomes “they're acting this way out of being in a particular cultural milieu and set of expectations”, and trying to block that is like trying to block the tide one water droplet at a time.
Just go to the “people you may know” page and you’ll see dozens of shadow profiles of people who clearly don’t have LinkedIn accounts. Mine shows relatives who I know don’t have accounts — but whose contact info was scraped by LinkedIn during my dumber years when I opted into their “help us connect you by linking your account” bullshit.

Is there a way to request they remove this data? I sure don’t know how.
Woops! Yup, I must have clicked on the wrong tab on my phone.
In fact the problems China has created have little or nothing to do with China 2025 and everything to do with Mr. Xi becoming China's "President for life" a while ago.

The trade with emerging Asian countries has historically been that the West gives them a leg up and in return the West expects them to eventually embrace becoming a liberal democracy. China under Mr. Xi has broken the pact that's why the West is no longer willing to indulge China 2025 or a lot of other China initiatives.

Has anybody written a guide on how to survive having a successful open source project?

I happened to have something [1] get a little usage recently and it took effort not to get sucked in. There were people with questions and needs! And I like helping people! But I also have a life to lead, so I set myself some clear boundaries and worked to consciously accepted that the project wouldn't operate at the standards I'd have for myself if it were my job.

It occurred to me that when I got started in the industry I didn't have the boundary-setting skills I do now, and that I easily could have worked to hard and too long, burning myself out, especially if my project were as popular as this was. It'd be nice to have a guide from OS project leads on ways to keep the project sustainable over the long term.

Should I Steal this Customer for personal gain after getting burned?

>Historically in the US, it has been those in power pitting group against group like poor whites against slaves in this case (or one ethnic group versus another in other struggles with labor in the North during the same time period and afterwards), for the purpose of keeping those at the bottom occupied with an easily identified other, versus those with a lot more power and harder to reach.

Yeah, I keep hearing this, and I just... saying things happen because people are too dumb to see their own self interest is... it's just really unsatisfying. It fits the data, but it also tastes like the other times in my life where I've been wrong because I'm arrogant.

It's also unsatisfying because it's not particularly predictive; it doesn't tell me which elites the masses will follow and why.
It's true that my work experience with manufacturing and approval is with small-molecule pharma, but as insulin was one of the very first biologic drugs and is one of the simpler ones to produce, I suspect this is reasonable.

I agree with most everything you’re saying, but it doesn’t change the fact that the healthcare industry is giving specifically harmful advice to people rather than drawing a hard line and saying it’s urgent and imperative that you make behavioral changes to fix diabetes. They’re told it’s terminal and all they can do is manage it, the reality is that many people could rid themselves of diabetes, which few doctors tell their patients.

People rely on doctors and doctor’s rely on research, and then when articles like this come out no one thinks there’s something fundamentally wrong with the industry?

https://www.nytimes.com/2016/09/13/well/eat/how-the-sugar-in...

Doesn’t add up, the incentives in the industry are all screwed up, we need to return to patient funded healthcare.
I would clarify on this.

1) Gauge theory only includes Special Relativity, a quantum theory of gravity is simply an unsolved problem so far.

2) In GR gravity is a 'fictitious force', which would cause less problems if they had use the term 'apparent' or 'inertial' force. It is a force observed which is an artifact of your reference frame.

3) In natural units 1 unit of "time" is a huge dimension compared to the spacial dimensions and the Earth is following the geodesic or the "straightest" path around the sun due to curvature in that dimension.

4) While 'radially inward' does happen with inward falling, that is more of an issue about trying to extend euclidean space past it's useful domain, you are going non-local at that point. That radial inward path convergence is length contraction in the spacial domain, which is smaller than the more observable time effects but it is still an artifact of one's reference frame.

Most proposed quantum theories of gravity view it as a force field that is like the other force fields in QFT. Time will tell if they can accurately create a model that works in a way that can stay in a euclidean space.

Everyone has their favorite. To be honest I like geometry more than algebra so I prefer GR, but really I just someone comes up with a model that works. Noting my bias, I think eventually QM is going to have to give up on the quantum mechanical hope for gravitation and resort to a non-euclidean solution. As I can't imagine 4D I would be happy for someone to prove me wrong.
I’m a founder of a specialty outdoor apparel manufacturer. After a brief stint of selling on Amazon we know only sell our gear via retail locations and our site. After achieving first page ranking for the category, we encountered massive problems including repeated page hijacking and low quality knock offs being sold as ours despite brand gating. I hope that discerning shoppers will model the behavior of the author and choose to make purchases of goods they know to be of high quality from manufacturer websites. This being said Amazon is great for product discovery and I hope we can build our brand effectively through legitimate reviews such as Backpacker, Ourdoor magazine, etc. Even though we’ve gone all in on social media our purchase rate from FB and Instagram is awful as our target buyer is wealthy fly fisherman over 50. Any tips on how to generate more online sales away from Amazon that older demographics utilize?

Nah...a commercial leaf blower makes frozen leaves fly really good. We used one of the stihl ones. With a rake you lift large chunks of frozen solid frozen organic matter that you have to try and rake away a layer at a time. I'm telling anyone that doubts it to go try it. A whole apartment complex worth of frozen wet leaves. You've got 3 hours to get it all done before moving to the next site. Try it. Do it one day with a rake. Then head back next week late autumn after a good wind and rain storm and do it again with a leaf blower and see how much faster and easier it goes.
I'm not surprised, because the Chinese also have the most need for a VPN. Contrary to the article I think them "trying to keep a low profile" is not a bad sign at all, and you shouldn't really need to worry about privacy if you're using end-to-end encryption through the VPN.
More like there is a wide spectrum of severity. There is no equivalence being inferred here.
For a lot of use cases, the error in using the spherical approximation is small enough that it doesn’t matter. For instance, measuring distance between two points in the same city, you can happily use the shorter function and not worry about it.

No, never massive swings in the short term (GFC caused a 4% drop (7% to 3%) in 2009 for example). I think that even when the cash rate is moving quickly rates don't change more than a percent or two per year.

Re budgeting, I think the relatively slow rate of change makes it mostly a non-issue though I think people at the upper end of their borrowing power struggle with rate rises.

It is time for the American government to step up consumer protection.
A lot of people in this thread are trying to flatten a complex situation. This comment is thoughtful: many poor southerners went to war and risked life and limb and stood to gain almost nothing from slavery.

We take for granted our 20/20 view of 1861 and we are biased in our present knowledge of how things turn out. Descendants of slaves, poor white southerners, and northerners all turned out better off, and the U.S. would grow stronger as a whole.

But to look at world and U.S. history from the lens of 1861, that's what the participants of the civil war had to do. Some of it was identity politics. Some of it was loyalty to home turf. Some men DID fight for states rights as much as that is derided as an empty excuse. There has always been concern of the Federal government gaining "too much power" since the Constitutional Convention and Anti-federalism is a well-documented movement of early American politics. For many, the Civil War was viewed as an extension of that cause. (If you want an excellent view on the war by a relatively impartial contemporary, view Lord Acton's account from 1866: https://mises.org/library/american-federalism-and-civil-war)

And sure, rich slave owners had their own motives. And they certainly would leverage the motives driving poor southerners to garner support for the war. That story is as old as time.

The cynic in me is prone to blame it on the capitalistic nature of our modern society.

You've got to get your numbers up.

It takes way more time to properly deal with psychological issues through therapy than it does to just prescribe a pill. They've got their pill, feel slightly better, so now you get to put them in the "done" pile. So your hospital gets to say it treats 1000 patients per quarter instead of just 100, so they are more attractive to pharmaceutical companies which pay them oodles of money.

The less cynical way to look at it is that the health care system is overloaded and underfunded, they don't have enough resources to properly treat people so they "have" to take the quick and easy route.
LinkedIn is one of the worse dark-pattern based business out there. Their whole business model is based on making connections between people, however unwanted they are.

They use any means necessary to get your contact list and abuse it to spam your contacts with dubious marketing ploys and unverifiable claims (someone looked you up! you're missing on new jobs opportunities!).

Liars.

I've resisted creating an account so far but the pressure to conform is there as you basically "don't exist" without a profile that lazy HR managers can look up.
Or maybe you shouldn't really be discussing actually deploying things that harm users of the most widely used protocol out there, but instead change the new thing to deal with the world that it lives in .

>The everythingburger had to do with the orbital EMP

How would an EMP in near space affect an ICBM? Once the warhead has separated, isn't it basically a dumb object on a Newtonian trajectory? Maybe mess up the electronics in the trigger to prevent the critical mass explosion rendering it just a man made meteor? Maybe a MIRV would have some electronics to separate. I can't remember if they separated after re-entry or not.
> And what about members?

Presumably, they agreed to this.

I would say that's a gravely mistaken belief.
There are always tricks to keep the problem size small for quadratic methods(such as L-BFGS). In ML stochastic gradient descent (a bad name for doing gradient descent on batches of the data at a time) seems to have a bit of magic in it's ability to go uphill to escape local minima as well as letting the problem scale to much larger sets of data.

Don't feel bad about ignoring stupid emails. Your skin will become thicker.
LinkedIn's growth, much like Facebook's, can mostly be attributed to the use of its "contact importer," which seems to have been where the 18M email addresses came from. Generally speaking, you should read the fine print when using such "features".

I do see an issue with part of this complaint: storing hashed emails and uploading those to use for targeted advertisements. The general consensus seems to be that even under the draconian rues of the GDPR, a hash of an email is not personally identifiable and therefore that data would not be subject to the GDPR. It appears that the DPC overstepped their bounds on that specific aspect of the investigation.
I brought this up to my mother who has been retired now for about 15 years but somehow still has a linkedin account. She never created one but somehow still had a profile, it freaked me out.
The effects in 2001 are breathtaking. Have you ever watched all the windows in the spaceships and stations? They aren't just white matte fakeouts, but actual filmsets with extras moving around overlaid with the model work. Building these sets, filming the inserts from the right angles and compositing that onto the final film in a purely optical process took an enormous amount of labor. I wonder why noone ever talks about that.
Now all LinkedIn has to do is apologize and work with regulators to make sure this never happens again... thus ensuring no future competitor will have it as easy as they did.

In the US, some of the most popular SUVs, which I would also call crossovers are the Nissan Rogue and the Rogue Sport. The latter is sold in other countries as the Qashqai, I believe. Most SUVs today are unibody vehicles with AWD that is not intended for serious offroading nor does it have a low range. They are typically based on FWD platforms. So they are what I would call (and I think most people call) crossovers.

If we are discussing Subarus, and you call the Impreza a crossover, then you are left without a distinction between the Impreza and the Crosstrek. The Crosstrek only has a few cosmetic differences and a higher suspension, but that is what would make it a crossover to most people.

Body on frame SUVs with a selectable low range transfer case are a very small portion of the market even in the US these days. So the criticisms applicable to such vehicles aren't relevant to mass market SUVs in my mind.

Exactly.

I give away my work. I've dealt with rude people using software I made since I was pretty much a kid, those people didn't know who their vitriol was directed at.

What makes this guy so special that to spite the vitriolic subset of all users he gets to be the one who throws a wrench in a project?

I said this in a comment below:

You think the kind of person who would insult a library maintainer on Twitter is going to read his Github issue?

"Oh it stopped getting updates" "Good, now my code won't break anymore!" "Security vulnerabilities in libraries? What?"

He's literally only spiting the very people who make projects like this worthwhile, the kinds of people who would want to submit PRs, make useful issues, and people with a genuine interest in the project, exactly what he's saying he lost.

An e-mail hash is more specific than an IP address, yet from what I read on HN, IP addresses are considered PII by GDPR.
Well, not anything I can easily share, but here's a simple-enough example. I was writing code to handle base-pair sequences (ACTG) in a very strange encoding, which naturally lead to tons of edge cases. I carefully wrote my code for appending two sequences together, but was not totally sure I got it right, but decided after writing a few unit tests that it was probably correct. Sure enough, a couple of months later, I received bug reports that, after debugging for a while, I pinned down to sequences not being appended properly.

I stared at the code for some time and couldn't see any mishandled edge cases. It was then I realized that I could automatically generate an arbitrary amount of unit tests, because it's simple enough to call strcat and encode that to get the correct result. So, that's what I did: generate two strings of ACTG, encode them, concat, and compare against the result against that of the encoding of the two strings concatenated. Sure enough, a mishandled edge case popped up after trying a couple hundred strings. There was probably no way I could have found that bug without this approach.

It's a really simple concept, but you need a couple of things: first, a very wide input space. Next, you need an alternate way of verifying the result. If you just want your program to not crash, you get this for free. In my case above, I could apply the two functions (concatenate/encode) in the other order to easily calculate the expected result. If you have these two things, a fuzzer is the logical thing to write to make sure your code is rock solid.
And his shirt! That was the detail that seemed to me most jarring---the cut and style look quite current. (The pants, seen in some of the other photos at the google link, not so much.)
I have always thought companies like FB ought to be legally required to erase any and as much stored personal information from their databases as a user requires.

In other words, I ought to be able to specify that I only allow my activity to be stored for one week, anything older than that should be erased from all databases and backups. Same with personal information, controlled and owned by the user, not the service.
Whatever you want to call them, the vehicles that most people buy and are generally called SUVs or crossovers no longer have a large differential in gas mileage compared to cars, which is why people prefer them.

It wasn't that long ago that I used to read comments on the internet about Americans being foolish and backwards for preferring vehicles with a trunk, instead of hatchbacks and wagons like Europeans did. Now Americans have essentially switched to hatchbacks (at least for new vehicle purchases) and yet people come up with a lot of pettifogging arguments why this is foolish and inferior because the hatchbacks are called SUVs.
