I recently changed jobs and the company I work for now does exactly what you say in your last paragraph. It was the best hiring experience I’ve been through. A couple other companies I applied to followed the HR screen first and I’m sure I failed. What’s weird is the same company that denied me has recruiters contacting me on LinkedIn monthly, as recent as last week.
I'm curious about the continued negativity on this. Hasn't he pretty much accomplished everything he has said? Batteries, cars, solar, space, it's all working.

After having finally gone aboard U-505 recently after 2 decades of wanting to, and having a half-brother that has his dolphins, I've been hardcore wanting to become fantastically wealthy and order a sub or just create a faux-sub as a house.
The idea that first you roll up in a tank, and then you pretend that you're going to de-escalate, is inherently ludicrous.

"Barricaded person": doesn't need an MRAP, they need a therapist.

"Hostage situation": generally also doesn't need an MRAP, they need a specialized therapist.

"Active shooter": here's note from a company that really wants to sell you training on how to deal with an active shooter -- http://www.activeresponsetraining.net/10-lessons-learned-fro... -- note that even with their spin, they can't come up with any evidence that an MRAP would be helpful.

"Riots" -- There's a list on Wikipedia. What percentage were caused by the police murdering people? 12 of 29 in the last ten years.

"Natural disasters": don't require tanks. Heavy trucks? Rugged 4WD? More investment in firefighting equipment? Sure. Hauling around tons of armor on a vehicle with a high center of gravity? Silly.
Oh yeah, that's just what we need. Unicru tests for software jobs. I'm gonna go ahead and say STRONGLY DISAGREE, chumbo.
It has to do with the timing of it, like gp mentioned. Current best practice is that that waiter should come by within a couple minutes of the food arriving to top off water and make sure your first bites were as expected so that any problems can be fixed early in the meal.

This is much preferred to a manager only hearing about a problem after all the food has been eaten or the customer has sat staring at a plate with unsatisfactory food on it while their companions eat (making everyone less comfortable as generally humans don’t like to eat when others haven’t had the opportunity to).
One of my favorite job search stories occurred many years ago. I'd posted my resume on Monster, etc. and also reached directly out to companies. For one company, I filled out their online application. It was the kind that asked you everything that was on your resume and then also had you upload your resume. About a month later I got a call from a recruiter at the company, passed the phone screen, and went in for an interview. During the pre-interview chat with the recruiter, I mentioned how annoying the resume submission process was. She replied that she found me while searching Monster for candidates and seemed surprised that their automated tools didn't flag my resume.
I stop by the grocery store and grab cooked food from the deli counter. It takes about 5 minutes. I eat my food on paper plates, and workout in my room. I'm probably gaining 1.5 hours per day on you. It's more expensive this way but time is money. If I consider it time I paid myself it's worth the expense.
If you want an arbitrary (thus https based) website to be able to communicate with a localhost server using websockets you are forced to use https on the localhost server. This is because the browser won't connect to non-secure websockets from an https website, even if the websocket is to localhost.

The actual right thing to do is to generate a private key and certificate (for a specific, public name you point to 127.0.0.1) during the software installation and add the latter to the trusted store. Now you don't have this vulnerability because each computer has a different trusted certificate with a different key, so a random attacker cannot just use the key they got to spy on other users.

When using a single folder structure, how should one go about creating multiple functions with a same name?

I'm creating a web service with Gin, and I have moved each http request handler into its own file. I would like to be able to pass these request handlers to Gin's router with pageA.Handler, pageB.Handler, pageC.Handler, etc, but compiler won't let me because function names have to be unique. Creating unique names for each handler function works fine, but personally it somehow feels messy.

Am I thinking anti-golang way, if I want to namespace these request handlers?

"review of its potential environment impact"

There's not really a concept of "Database" in FDB. There is however a concept of key spaces, and "directories", which are basically the same, and these all support transactions.

Interesting suggestion, honestly I'm not sure. Although this should be easy to test empirically. I feel if this were to work, it may depend on architecture of the network and what intermediate functions are used (ReLu, sigmoid and tanh). But your suggestion is easy to test empirically and I'll try it.

There was another method proposed recently for approximating uncertainties: using dropout during evaluation (which effectively makes different runs on the same image as samples). But I came across a discussion on the efficacy of the technique and I wasn't sure. https://www.reddit.com/r/MachineLearning/comments/7bm4b2/d_w...

My next project is to implement dropout and see how it compares with the current approach. I'll also try your suggestion.

No. Probabilities can be random variables themselves.

Say p is the probability an image is of a cat.

p could be low, e.g. 0.05.

However, perhaps p has the 0.9 credible interval (0.01, 0.1). The width of that interval expresses how confident you are of the point estimate.

The correct translation of "I don't know" is a wide credible interval.

This is entirely incorrect. Our solar system started out as a gas cloud of randomly distributed atoms which then proceeded to become atoms organized into spheres called planets. This happened spontaneously and is not the result of energy entering or exiting the system.

Almost all atoms started out in a state of random distribution before transforming themselves into almost perfect spheres orbiting in an almost perfectly circular orbit around a giant glowing sphere called a star. These stars then organize themselves into beautiful ordered spirals called galaxies. Entropy always increases and most people think high entropy is a state of random distribution, but the organization of atoms in the universe is definitely not heading in that direction.

Thanks to gravity the universe will not become a place where atoms are perfectly randomly distributed. This does not make sense from an intuitive perspective and observational as well.

Strange right? Entropy has not reversed. What's going on most people don't have an intuitive grasp of what the true definition of entropy is.

Allow me to elucidate.

The "disorder" that entropy refers to can actually take on many forms. In the case of our solar system it is perfect spheres that orbit another glowing perfect sphere. In the case of food coloring dispersing in a glass it is atoms randomly distributed.

Entropy simply put should not be called a law it is really a consequence of probability. If the organization of atoms is in a high probability state than it has high entropy if it is in a low probability state than it has low entropy. Put it this way: atoms and gravity by probability are more likely clump into perfect spheres rather than stay in a perfectly randomly distributed gaseous state. Spherical planets are then according to this definition entropy, at a higher state of entropy than a gas dust cloud.

Seem crazy right? It seems like entropy is reversing... randomly distributed atoms organizing themselves into clumps of perfect spheres... The reality is nothing crazy is going on. Intuitively we know gas dust clouds organize them selves into spherical planets and solar systems. It's your definition of entropy that is off. Are intuitive notions of disorder and chaos are clashing with what entropy defines as 'disorder' and 'chaos'

You don't do martial arts to fight. You do it for the calm, discipline, exercise, and opportunity to do cool stuff like when I got to break solid ceramic tiles with my bare hands.

These are the only rational reasons. You'll maybe be in one or two violent situations in your whole life (maybe a few more if you don't know how to, ya know, run away from them) and it's a hundred to one that those situations will call for empty-handed fighting.

Spending multiple hours a week training for something you have maybe one in a thousand chance of actually using productively isn't the smartest thing to do with your time. If you think you're doing anything more than staying in shape and building discipline, you're fooling yourself.

This wasn't intended to be an argument, btw. Just hammering the point home for anyone else thinking empty-handed martial arts is a viable self-defense strategy.

Everybody says this about Parisians, but I haven't found it to be true. I've visited Paris 3 times for a total of almost 3 weeks and met very few rude people. I've met a lot more assholes in Manhattan than in Paris. Of course, I follow the French rules of politeness. I always start with "Bonjour/Bonsoir" and always finish any visit with "Merci, bon journée/soirée, Au revoir." On the other hand, I've seen plenty of rude behavior by American tourists who just start speaking English to French people without any greeting or any attempt at French.
And yet development should take the environment into consideration because it can have massive consequences. Those consequences are ultimately an externality of the development project and evaluating it in advance can help inform the true financials of the project.
> I disagree with this. It's clear in cases such as Facebook that data privacy is abused. Not only that, but users don't have much of an idea of exactly how their data is being used. In a P2P system powered by blockchain, I can set permissions for certain data my on-chain information to be accessible between different parties, whether that's a doctor or a friend on a social media platform. They can receive a hash an decode it locally to view whatever information I am granting them permission to view.

I think the OP is saying that if anyone has access to the raw data at any point, then they have some sort of ownership. And this is actually true in your example. A person owns their own data (age, email, etc.), and then gives it to Facebook. Someone might expect privacy from Facebook, but since Facebook now has access to that data, they have some sort of ownership of it. And what do they do with their ownership? They sell it :). If you give your hashed data to Facebook, and allow them to decode it and read it, then they can still sell the decoded data because they now have access to and some ownership of the data.

Any suggestions? China comes to my mind, but that comes with a whole other can of worms.
Good question, I imagine because you need the big city, the traffic volume, and potential users to justify the cost of doing such a big project.
It seems sort of shortsighted to block a tunneling company on environmental grounds. In the long term, cheap tunneling would be fantastic for the environment. Most of what we consider the biosphere is on the surface, and to the extent that there's life in the tunneled area, by volume tunneling isn't going to be significant for a long time. (Volume is much larger than surface; in general, areal intuition fails miserably for volume.) Being able to tunnel places instead of running roads over things and such would be great.

(If indeed anyone can get too worried about potential rock-living life, since it is conspicuously lacking in anything you could call "cute".)

> I'm not from the 90's so I can only imagine how shocking this music must have been 23 years ago.

I'm a kid of the late '80s and '90s and that wouldn't have been shocking for mainstream listeners back then. I'm especially thinking of Eurodance music which was pretty massive and popular in the early part of the '90s and which sounds very similar in some respects to the music in your YT link.

It's also true that times were different back then, and for the better, just look at the MTV Top 10 of 1994 [1] and you can see bands like GreenDay, Sound Garden, Nirvana or Smashing Pumpkins. These type of bands wouldn't make the top 10 of popularity charts in this day and age (with the exception of GreenDay, probably). I mean, just look at this "Black Hole Sun" video [2] from Sound Garden which 13-year old me was watching during prime-time on MTV while doing my homework, this was seen as totally normal back then. Nowadays I'm afraid these type of music-videos and art-creation in general are out of prime-time media. The '90s were a lot more daring than today.

> backhanded complaints that managers make about software developers

Bad managers, I'd say.
SVI still uses sampling under the hood. Any probabalistic programming framework (such as pyro) uses random sampling, there's no other way to estimate the curves of a complex set of interacting probability distributions. Obviously there are some optimizations for simple distributions that are known (e.g. we know what the expected values of simple gaussians will be, and the PDF or CDF of a given sample).
Likewise, the large benefit being a perceived halo of invincibility. A 'superweapon' further provides political positioning to maneuver before, during, after some confrontation.

My point here is to say worth valued in effects viewed as secondary.
There is a very simple solution to this problem. Build more libraries or bigger libraries.

A terrific example is the Jefferson Library in lower Manhattan. It is technically a children's library to the point where it's nearly impossible to find bathrooms that are adult accessible without children.

It is also possibly the best quiet library in the city because the upper levels of the space are adult only and nearly pin drop silent. You can absolutely have both.
