Not doing so or at least in a condescended form is kind of operating a fraudulent exchange. It is kosher to bundle 50 buy orders of 1 stock into 1 order or visa versa - get a bunch of little orders that adds up to a cheaper option. If it doesn't work out refund and inform that it failed to go through. If they asked for 1 share at $25 and you legitimately give it to them it isn't fraud. It is another to say "buy" Tesla shares for people when you really shovel it into another investment and work out what they owe when you think they will just go bankrupt and Theranos is the way of thw future....
How useful do you think is studying general statistics from, for example, OpenStat vs. directly learning from ML-related courses like the one you mentioned?
Heycar Is Hiring SRE in Berlin, Germany
It's funny, because as I was reading your comment, I was thinking of 3b1b. He's doing great work by visualizing abstract concepts, but I think what he does mainly helps people who have already gone through the material. If it's your first time encountering the topic, you'll likely feel lost or not see the point.

What 3b1b does still brings a lot of value, so I don't want to take away anything from his work.
There's no issue with the notation; I think you've misunderstood the mathematical idea. Consider a more familiar algebraic object, a real number, x. This can model a length, an area, volume, time, time interval, temperature, weight, speed, physical constant, geometric ratio, fractional dimension, etc...

In mathematics, we abstract by forgetting about what the things are, and retain information about how they behave, and about what abstract properties they satisfy. The insight is that 2d locations and 2d displacements have the same abstract properties, which are modeled by a certain algebraic object: 2-vectors.
The BBC is not allowed to engage in advertising like this in any capacity, except for BBC worldwide which this isn't.

In my opinion, this is not an issue of people who are sensitive to the f-bomb, it's an issue of professionalism in a professional application. After all, people who would be sensitive to the f-bomb to the point where they would actually be offended by it wouldn't exactly be participating in any community populated by people over the age of 7, right? The issue here is that the author of the sources was obviously not being professional, and the existence of these statements were not offensive, but off-putting, especially when you consider that OpenJDK was made by a legitimate corporation that isn't exactly known for joking around.
A good start would be implementing flicker-free boot on Linux. Windows and macOS had it for a long time. On Linux, it takes 5-6 mode changes before the system actually boots. It doesn't make a good impression on users, especially ones unfamiliar with Linux to see the system constantly go dark, make some noises and switch from text mode to graphics mode constantly. Same thing for shut down, most Linuxes when shutting down flash text mode for a bit with lots of messages like "trying to kill xxx unsuccessful". To an average user that screams "this software is unfinished and can break any moment", which doesn't inspire confidence.

I think the best chance for unification was Ubuntu and Unity. I use Unity on Ubuntu 18.10 because I don't like the GNOME interface (and it's much slower on my low-end laptop too). Unfortunately, the community seems to enjoy reinventing things. Implementing new stuff is exciting, fixing bugs isn't :(

There hasn't been a world war for two thirds of a century now, and US and their trade partners enjoy safe trade routes.

I wouldn't call it "not delivering".
I felt the same way on first reading, but then decided that I misinterpreted "someone" to mean "someone really close to me": spouse, kids, parents, etc. This is similar to buying things for myself.

I believe in MF quote "someone" is better described as "someone you do not personally know or maybe see once". A model for that is buying a gift for a Yankee Swap party. Or for a child I do not know: something to cheer them up, but as I do not know if (s)he likes dolls or trucks I can go with a safe, generic choice, e.g., a book.

That is, I am still trying to do a good thing, but am not too worried that I will guess incorrectly.
Most non-technical users aren't going to remain interested long enough to try even a few desktop environments. The first one they use will leave a strong impression.

Regionally, I can't think of any infrastructure that's under-utilized rather than over-utilized and under-maintained. There are a couple proposed projects that would be stupid to build in the first place, let alone over-build; but I can't think of anything existing that isn't already at or over capacity and very obviously going to be heavily used for the next 50 years and probably more.

In fact, our entire transportation network is badly screwed and about to become far worse because major elements of infrastructure we've been using for between 70 and 120 years years and have taken for granted has seen increasing use but has not been sufficiently maintained.

If it had been built with cost-saving instead of robustness in mind, we'd have had to spend 2/3 as much three times over to rebuild it... or more likely, not have been able to muster the political will to rebuild it at all and instead seen our economy fail due to the lack of infrastructure necessary to support economic activity.

The same goes for our water delivery infrastructure (it's taking 50 years to build a new tunnel so we can even take the existing ones offline for their first maintenance in a century), our schools and post offices, and probably a bunch more things that aren't coming to mind just now.
The bigger question is what you want to achieve by visualizing so many nodes. If you want a map that can be zoomed in to view individual nodes, you mainly need to compute coordinates for every node. Finding the arrangement of the node is probably what gets you in trouble, so you probably need a custom algorithm which scales better (and does poorer, probably).

More interesting may be to identify clusters and either group them together or visualize these clusters as nodes themselves.

I would concentrate my investments on Windows and/or maybe macOS and Linux is third and only nice to have. Nearly nobody makes big money with Linux desktop programs.

Skills: Digital product designer (UI/UX)

I'm Sven, a freelance UI/UX designer based in Brussels, Belgium. I primarily work with early-stage start-ups in the US. I've assisted Techstars companies with their initial product designs, as well as support design teams while building their products.

My background is in product management, hence I typically focus on the business value of design.

I've worked both on websites, web apps and mobile apps.

Show HN: InstaPy is stepping up its game
The entire Mars, gonna save the world shtick? It's a recruitment ploy. Most of his claims don't hold up to closer scrutiny, but it's aimed at young tech professionals who _really want_ for their job to make sense, so much, that they're willing to overlook both the evidence it might not _and_ the bad quality of a job offer, just to hook themselves to someone who has a "bright vision."

Truth is, much of tech nowadays doesn't even pretend to care about any benefit to society. And spotting a scam, when a part of the scam is literally offering you a sense of self-worth? That requires some rather painful introspection.

Iceland has no military spending
Ireland spends 0.4% of it's GDP on military
Switzerland 0.7%
Sweden 1%
Finland (who have actually been invaded in living memory) 1.4%

The U.S. spent $574b on defence and $79b on veterans last year, both increased way above inflation - total of $57b. Education by comparision dropped by 14%, or $9b. Health by 18% or $15b.

The largest slice of the U.S. budget is healthcare (mainly medicare/medicaid). This cost $5,500 per citizen, despite only covering 1/3rd of the population. This is because the U.S. health care system is fundamentally broken, and costs about 3 times as much per person in europe.
Government is nearly always the least effective use of a citizen's money. Huge discussion on HN a few days ago about the IRS barely making $7 for every $1 spent. Before than we discussed the astronomically comical cost of healthcare.gov.

It's good that people are demanding social change and action; the answer should bbe private charity and community leadership, as the current system just funnels money into contractors pockets.

I agree with this article, thanks for sharing. With the advent of big data and capabilities to draw conclusions from what seems like an anonymous information Mr. Zuck sill goes for the simplified explanation "but we're not giving it directly..." The violence case in Myanmar showed that Facebook has much broader consequences without directly doing anything. The same goes for third party involvement, they can deny it and it makes me question do they themselves understand the scope of the problem and manipulation.

People like Musk are necessary. You can't create great things without a mind outside of the norm, and a mind outside of the norm is often unstable. Most people wouldn't manage (psychologically) to be in Musk's position, much less get to the point where he is now.

It isn't fair (what happened to this engineer), but hardly anything in life is fair. What's important is to realize this and be able to move on. As an engineer in the US, he is already one of the luckiest people on Earth.
My personal approach to storage is to prescind as much from it as I can. I'm constantly deleting old photos and media that I create, as I believe that I will have less and less time to even see them again in the future, so I'm trying to live as light as possible and keep only the 'prime' material.

For what it's worth, I run a/b tests in my work where I consistently see large caching effects. For example, when we compare an experimental version of something to the currently deployed version it's critical that we cache-bust the control group. And changes that improve caching generally make things significantly better.

Caching effects are much smaller on Safari with its per-domain cache, but even there if something broke caching for us it would be a high priority to fix.

(I work at Google on ad tags)
Only if you keep pivoting in the same direction.
I agree there wouldn't have been (much of) an advantage to that sort of behavior if Google had started with paid services from the beginning and never depended on advertising.

However, now that we're where we are, it's just so easy to keep tracking you, since they'd actually have to go out of their way to remove it from their tech stack, that doing it on the off chance that either A: someday you'll stop being a paid customer or B: someday a PM will need to show more revenue and they decide to stick ads on their paid service anyhow, the combined probability of which approaches 100%, is worth doing it. Path dependencies can cause strange things to happen.

I can't trust a company who has tracking everything and everybody woven into their tech stack at every level to stop.
These companies get scooped up by folks who have no idea what to do with them.

That seems really inefficient.

Not that these were great companies but you'd hope someone(s) could take a better run at things than Verizon.

On my aging Lynnfield i5 and spinning-rust HDD, GIMP takes 2 seconds to open (I just timed it - from pressing return in a terminal, to all windows appearing on screen). That is faster than most websites load these days. And I should add that I have quite a lot of custom Python plug-ins installed.

There's a lot of valid points that can be criticized about GIMP. Speed is not one of them.
Worthless to who? The headline seems mean spirited.

A friend of mine used to work at Yahoo in the in the news department.

She said it was one of the best teams she'd ever worked in (they were supportive with a spurious but difficult legal issue she faced ) and she pushed out some really great reporting during her one year contract.

It might be worthless to Verizon, but many people enjoyed working there and I know her articles got read because a few had a national impact.

Of course that is just a microcosm of the overall company, but it's sad that a friendly workplace gets deemed 'worthless' when so many abusive workplaces are overvalued.

7 Keys to Business Relationships That Lead to Success
It's a great generality, but it's not only 100% correct, your example of bureaucracy PROVES it is correct.

Those committees, reviews, and approval chains are just distributed responsibility mechanisms to remove the responsibility to think critically about the entire expenditure, which is Friedman's point.

10 people thinking about narrow, nonoverlapping aspects of a large thing will never be as effective as less people considering all aspects of that large thing.

IIRC the ARM tagging would protect ~8 (maybe 16?) byte regions. More info on this is at [1] [2] -- note that some of this discusses a software-only approach (with likely higher performance impact).

I think the majority of performance cost for HW Asan will come from the additional bits stored to memory, but it was "modest" (< 5%?). A couple of additional CPU instructions during memory allocate and free, these are probably of negligible impact.

> And yet it's also a perfect example of the one time it does make sense to do so, which is when you own a decent chunk of the company that you're doing it for.

For Musk it might make sense, but I doubt it makes sense for most of his employees. Its not worth fucking your health and social life up over a payout, unless its huge. The typical Tesla worker isn't going to make enough from it to make it worth it, in my opinion.

> Yeah, that kind of effort is not sustainable for more than a few months at most.

Agreed, although likely you'll experience negative effects much sooner, although you may not properly burn out for a few months. There were some posts on HN recently about the long-lasting health impact stress has.
>And you can also leave for any reason. It's symmetrical. You don't have this right in some countries - I'd be careful about volunteering to give it up.

That's not symmetrical, or if it is, it's symmetrical in the same way as "heads I win, tails you lose." Being fired and quitting both place the entirety of the risk of unemployment on the employee, there is no counterbalance of power or risk on the part of the employer.

If health insurance wasn't tied to employment in the US, or if there were something like UBI, then the dynamics of at-will employment might be at least more symmetrical.
No, it's still about security, in a defense-in-depth sense. Even if your trusting CA's in this context they all count as attack surface: CAA helps minimize it. For example, it's possible that a CA's validation process has a flaw. A CAA record may isolate you from that.

Even the "corporate policies" is a security thing, not "making someone's job easier". Presumably Facebook handles their certificates carefully: if any engineer could obtain certificates the odds that they would and that the certificates would be passed around in email attachments is 100%.
I also believe this is the only correct answer.
