I think that's why OP qualified it with "the purity is known ahead of time." There are relatively not very many overdose deaths from pill versions of opiates where the dosage is known, because people generally know how much they can handle and generally don't want to die.
InnoVint | Senior Front End Developer (Angular)| SF, CA | REMOTE OK

We're building winery management software, particularly focused around winemaking. Our web application completely models and captures the winemaking process -- including grape growing and pressing, wine blending, analytical measurements, reporting and more. We've been in business for 5 years, we service over 350 wineries, and are generating enough revenue to sustain the company and grow indefinitely. Revenue continues to grow nearly 2x every year. We are looking to expand internationally soon, but we need more help. Our engineering is basically 3 people strong.

We're looking for another Angular Guru to join our team, with experience in both AngularJS and Angular and a strong passion for Typescript.

Please reach out via the craigslist link -- it will go directly to me (Dan, CTO). There are product screen shots as well as further info about the gig.

>How many false and true accusations have you seen?

I've been accused by some random online that I never met.

A friend of mine rejected a woman on okcupid, she then made accounts both in his name and various women's names on the former site 'cheaterville' and reported that he gave her multiple sexually transmitted diseases including HIV which cost him an acting job becuase it was the first thing that came up when you googled his name and despite he and I both having screenshots of this psychotic individual attacking him via multiple forms of communication threatening him if he wouldn't go out with her they said 'get it removed or we can't have you be part of the production'.

A few years ago at my current employer a woman alleged I sent her all sorts of inappropriate text messages and provided screenshots. One problem, she used an iOS device and all of the messages allegedly from me, were in the color bubble of the recipient not the sender meaning she messaged herself then deleted the wrong color bubbles.

So there's 3, 2 of them involving me, all in the past decade.

Then Saturday on a friend's IG post about a candle sale at Bath & Body works I commented "Such a girl" a local newspaper reporter than replied to my comment:

"Oh ZANG, you sure diminished her! Girls are stupid, with their genders and stuff, lol, amiright?!"

To which I replied:

"..."

To which she replied:

"Yes? I'm here."

To which I replied:

"there's something wrong with you. I made a simple comment a friend that I've known for 8 years post being playful. Not because I'm some woman shaming toxic card carrying member of hte patriarchy. Maybe try enjoying your life instead of lashing out at complete strangers on the internet there slugger"

To which she replied: " Ah. Here, let me translate that for you: "I don't like being checked, so I'm going to gaslight and throw some phrases around to seem "woke" and then continue to diminish through patronizing name-calling".

At which point I then contacted her immediate supervisor at her publication, his supervisor, the editor in chief as well as an employee of the parent company that owns the newspaper as this woman's IG profile starts "Downtown reporter at @newspapersheworksatsinstagram" as what she did is entirely uncalled for and not at all professional and if she's done this once, she's done it many times.

So I have a local newspaper reporter putting words into my mouth, calling my character into question in a public forum, because I happen to have a penis and said 'such a girl' to a candle sale photograph on a post of someone that I've not only known for 8 years but have taken out several times over those years...

Isn't it worth noting that LastPass / Dashlane / and others claim they are storing your binary blob on their cloud to be decrypted only on your machine and never theirs?

I think that's an area between "we store your passwords on our server" and "this file I store has all my passwords". No?
with ES6 and the new JS these days I indeed see no reason for Typescript, still:

> "Training a model is skipping to executing the function, without first learning how to write it. Is training a model even a feat worth bragging about?"

do you really think its easy? go do kaggle competitions. if its really easy you should just be able to run a few models and quit your day job.

ML and statistics are very much the same and just as different. maybe its true about ML people as well, but statisticians have a dogma. they think there is a right model, and they came up with it. ML practitioners generally think they have a more useful model than what was previously done.

I had a PHD in statistics try to do deep learning on images. they never got far because they could not get over the idea of having more parameters than observations. I had stats people ask me what is the r^2 on the results of an xgboost model, which the best answer I could give them was that the mean was not a good representation of the data therefore any r^2 number could not be trusted, to which they hated.

Not merely a suggestion; I'm stating outright that when someone's career (both the value of an acquired scholarly degree and the earned income within the field) depends on a field being regarded as a valid specialization, that person is going to put effort into reinforcing that perceived validity.
It works relatively well.

I just have two complaints.

The build times, as Gtk-rs seems to do code generation during the build, and the usual Rc<RefCell<item>> for accessing internal widget data on the callbacks.
If you think those parts are scary, you should see the "yiff". Basically, furry porn. In the modern era it's considered rude to judge people for their kinky sex life, but some of the illustrations and cartoons in that community are highly unusual. To put it politely.
I think you may underestimate the difficulty of publishing critical papers in the field as an outsider.

The question is, is the criticism justified?

It's always possible to make a serious effort, put the paper together, get the rejections, then once that's failed a few times post the paper and rejections (at least honestly summarized) to a preprint server.

Where do you think the deep politicization that you complained about coming from?

"Scandal" is also a signaling term. There was no scandal.
This sentence sums it up perfectly:

> In many cases, these algorithms are completely useless in aiding with the understanding of data and assist only in certain types of uninterpretable predictive modeling.

Statistics is a crucial component of the scientific method. It is the tool with which scientists check whether their theories agree with empirical evidence.

Machine learning is about building mathematical models that are apparently "right", in the sense that they have predictive power, but that don't necessarily improve our understanding of the data-generating processes involved.

Volvo's ex-performance brand, polestar, is being spun off into a hybrid and electric only manufacturer. They are starting off with the Polestar 1, a hybrid sports coupe, but after that, the polestar 2 and polestar 3 are planned to be electric (sedan and suv, respectively). Polestar 1 will be out of reach for most ($150k), as well as being in a coupe form factor. its competitors will likely be honda NSX, and maybe DB11 or R8. But it will be interesting to see how Polestars future products do.

Hosting your own server gives you full control. That said, it puts more responsibility and liability on you to do content moderation, assuming you make it public.

Some people do a hybrid approach. A public forum/board to share content, with some rules. Then another private server for a smaller group of friends to share anything.

You can also create a Tor Hidden Service.
Giving people suggestions based on their profiled interests was a nice toy idea, but it's very dangerous in the real world. I worry about that often with my kid online now.

Hi Kkoala. Sorry to hear that you didn't get a response -- that's unusual. Can you email me at jobs@celo.org so we can find and look into your application?
This is very cool, but I highly recommend using a standard like JSON schema instead. It will make your life easier long term. The initial hurdle of learning may be harder, but lots of libraries/languages support JSON schema.

If you are using typescript, I highly recommend using a generator to create JSON schema definitions. This one has worked really well recently https://github.com/YousefED/typescript-json-schema

I figured the writing was on the wall with that whole garbage static page, along with "Disabled due to safe-mode".

Of course, you had to have an account and all its bullshit to 'turn off' safe mode.

Whereas, reddit, imgur, pornhub, and all of them have no safe-mode garbage. Reddit has a click-thru if you hit a sub on a work machine (and then you can bail out).

But yeah, this is setting a "dead by" date probably 6 months from now. Talk about killing a property.
I would wager that if you send N (where N>=2) employees to go do something, like drive somewhere and go meet with a client, go remove hardware from a datacenter rack, man a booth at some trade show, volunteer at some university event, etc, etc. and the logistics are such that it will be convenient for each of them to eat a meal or meals, possibly at a restaurant, there is a very good chance that if they go out to dinner they will do so together. Ideally gender and marital status would have no effect on whether or not that is acceptable.
There's simply no way to formalize rules of nudity and sexuality in this new era. They're better off being super vague about "no sexual content" and picking their battles when it comes to needing clarification.

I have been archiving many of my favorite tumblr's for some time now, but will have to go in and refresh my downloads.

Highly recommend this app called TumblThree for archiving (also TumblTwo) https://www.jzab.de/content/tumblthree

The UI is a little annoying and takes a little discovery to figure out, but the actual setup / install is painless.

Edit: after reading more about the shutdown, it appears Tumblr may have their own export tools, they could be superior if you are exporting your own content, I'm not really sure.
This sounds like a lot of fun. What are you doing with those VMs?
Ask HN: Big clients, now what?
The past weekend one of the startups I am involved with (I own a decent chunk of equity and am employee numero uno) got their first handful of major clients. Two are fortune 500 companies who are very excited about the product and are prepared to spend big money. Everything is still under wraps but we are starting to discuss our next move. We are technically profitable and do not necessarily need funding. Yet, a round would surely help us grow quickly. Honestly, we are a group of kids who love to code and didn't figure everything would happen so fast. I am sure this has been answered here before but I would love any advice on how to approach VC firms or apply for grants without losing control of the project we love. Thanks so much :)
How did you generate the random example? If you do it again, I'd be shocked if you got a 100k/day example.

I would guess there's a very, very long tail of channels that have a very small number of videos and essentially no views.
Depends on how much you discuss it. HN is just an example, places it works best are organizations with emails and slack. Basically tens or hundreds of emails a week.

The top results for Brooklyn still contains people living or have lived there. Mostly it’s an expectation thing... you expect yourself to be there, that doesn’t mean the system hasn’t identified better people to contact about Brooklyn. perhaps the system identified that other people had greater “expertise” simply because there was a larger data set (or someone displayed more knowledge)
Oh! this is new? Because it look like it work well!

Installing A/UX on the Quadra 610
You basically have to get into supporting extensions or custom code and supporting an API if you run into enough of these customers and that’s when you declare that you only have so much responsibility for the customer’s code (and it quickly turns into another support revenue stream).

I consider myself a Python developer with a decent generalist background - hardware, protocols, OSs, etc. I enjoy bug finding and fixing, particularly if it involves light reverse engineering. Besides development, I've done system administration, L2+ support, mentored interns and taught classes. I've also contributed to open source projects, and am a card-carrying FSFE member :)
1. I do unpleasant things as fast and effectively as possible, so I can procrastinate later.

2. I only use the Get Things Done method when I'm really stressed, so I can suddenly benefit from its effects.

3. I don't work at all after a certain time of day / switch off entirely at the weekends.

4. I avoid problematic people like e.g. hidden narcissists or psychopaths like the plague. If I have to interact with them, I'll keep it as professional as possible and ignore their rants as best as I can. (There is a life outside work.)

Obviously, these tricks only work if you can 'afford' them.
