Billboards, TV etc have a lot of laws associated with them which cause the owners to act preemptively. So, it's generally not possible to anonymously post an explicit x rated image on a Billboard or TV commercial due to the people doing manual content reviews. Prime time TV added tape delays and a manual bleep to avoid similar issues.

That's not to say message boards need to have some person review every post before it goes public. But, that is a possible theoretical solution to this issue. Granted it's not economically viable, but plenty of other businesses models are also limited by the law.

PS: HN is actually a great example of what's possible while still allowing random postings online while avoiding many of these issues.
Cool, seems like it'd attract exactly the people who don't need it though. ;- )

I'll sign up I think!

Edit: While I was signing up, I tried copying the verification code from the email, and it copied with the period from the email, so when I pasted it into the site it didn't work. Maybe put a zero-width space in there (U+200B) or ditch the period altogether. ;- )

Edit 2: The "start login" page didn't work the first time around. In the console I saw a 404 status on something. When I refreshed, it redirected me to the right page though.

Give that signup and sign in flow a good test, I was almost ready to call it quits after trying a couple times!

Edit 3: The countdown clock is jumping around a bit. Turns out the font for the numbers (Montserrat) is proportional, and does not support OpenType tabular number variants (in CSS you select these with: { font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums; }), so the countdown clock tends to jump each time a second passes and it is updated. Maybe nitpicky but it bothers me.
Their biggest problem atm isn’t time but speed, they have fuel but they can only do limited course correction as they don’t have that much specific impulse available to them.

So they need to find interesting things on their way bwfore they fly off.
I'm not sure what you're saying about DL in NLP is completely true. To train e.g. a language model from scratch you'll need a load of data, but building on top of pre-trained models (e.g. BERT, ELMo), or even just using pre-trained word embeddings in your RNN, reduces that a lot. Subsequently using these will require some knowledge of ML, even if just to know what the library code for some model you glue on does.
"They should have been mostly in credit and as rates plummeted, credit rallied. They would have done quite well."

That's the thing with investment advice. There is a lot of "should" and "would" advice in hindsight but not so much concrete advice about the now. Also, if you just have a major medial issue, all your well-laid plans will be moot.

We are engaging in a massive financial experiment over the last few decades. I know people who started working in the 80s and did extremely well. But they started from a low stock market, had massive housing appreciation and didn't have huge college debt. If you started working in 2000 with a Dow of 11000 the picture is less pretty. And for people who are starting now it's just plain ugly. Houses are already super expensive, they have college debt and the stock market is expensive. They won't see the growth the people who started in the 80s saw. But somehow they are still held to the same standards.
Makes you wonder how the payment system in WeChat remains profitable if it's 100% free... do businesses have to pay a fee to withdraw?
That's funny. That still makes me sad to this day. But I was pretty broken up over it too. Somehow the fact that I will have been long dead did not matter.
No, because this has nothing to do with the desire to kill or harm. It actually invokes a desire to protect. It is motivated by the overwhelming adoration, if you will, for what is cute. The intensity is not "aggression" in the sense you or others seems to be thinking of. By analogy, think of two people who have not seen each other for a while, miss each other dearly, and meet one another. The hugs and physical expressions of affection are going to be more intense. I think this is similar. It is an experience of overwhelming joy.
After reading most of the comments I can try to provide a different perspective.

I am a Director of Data Science and Software Engineering for a mid sized firm (~1000 employees and $150-200MM revenue). I started with a Finance degree then shifted into an analysis position at a FAANG (lots of excel, SQL, learning how to query big data). This eventually led to learning more about tech (python, AWS cloud stack, messaging queues) and after 8 years in the industry giving me enough experience to manage teams of data scientists, software engineers and data analysts.

Although it is so important to know all the software engineering stack, many companies will benefit from simple business intelligence and data analyst roles. I guess my recommendation is to also keep an open mind in looking for these types of roles in the market (data analyst, business intelligence engineer), because given your desire to learn and existing background, its clear you can make a big impact in those companies as well. And it will be much less competitive than traditional CS crowd.

RedisGraph! it’s a module added to redis. very simple and performant, they supply a docker image already running it and clients exist in most languages.
Maybe my knowledge is out of date then, since I was doing NLP in 2016. I’ll delete my comment but I stand by my opinion that you shouldn’t dive straight into implementing some state of the art ML model without learning the basics of computational linguistics
I think spinal was the command used by voicecode, and the community repo was put together by ex-voicecode users. You can change a command easily by editing the script that defines it anyway (changes take effect immediately without a restart).

https://remoteok.io/ is a good place to start. While there aren't a tonne of listings, I find them to be generally high quality and "true" remote, not just positions with part-time remote options.

Searching 'remote developer' on Indeed with the location set to the US yields tonnes of results. Lots of junk to sift through, but I've had some success.
Barring a major accident, powertrain failure tends to be what actually takes a car off the road. You may not want a beat up 20 year old car, but if it runs well, someone will drive it. Yet once the engine or transmission fails it is done.

As for electric car reliability, this is a "theory vs practice" question.

In theory electric cars should be vastly more reliable due to their simplicity. Electric motors have 1/10th the complexity of an ICE, and electric drivetrains tend to be simpler.

In practice we have a lot of experience in building well executed ICE cars. Regardless of the complexity I would bet that a Toyota beats a Tesla for any test of longevity.
Yep. Midwest metropolis (out in the suburbs, but still fairly dense). It's the rust.

Well, and in a few Chrystlers and a Ford I've been familiar with, the trannie. Kind of a race between the two factors.

Right now, I have an older Subaru that would be good for at least a few more years, except the rust has compromised the gas tank. And dropping that means dropping the drive train. And you can get it back together -- but how many parts do you end up having to replace, because the rust has gotten to them too badly. And then you're closing in on the value of the car.

If/when we switch to composites (and/or aluminum), with an electric drive train maybe localized at the four wheels, or at least "compartmentalized" and swap-able (1), then maybe the rust factor and overall longevity will improve. Maybe... I'm waiting to see what creative means corrosion demonstrates to further its entropy under this scenario.

1. And for the record, I'd still prefer a "hybrid" design with backup on-board generation from some type of chemical fuel, at least until electric penetration is thorough and cold-weather capacity is secured.
My kids have done the same thing! It's like an extension of them nuzzling into you, and then they're not just rubbing their head into your should, they're gnawing on it a bit too. I think you're right and it's just they don't have other outlets for what is essentially a joyful emotion, and they certainly don't know "biting = hurt = bad"
Even better rolling over from a 401k to an IRA where the worker truly has full control over the expenses of their retirement as well.
This doesn't have anything to do with analysis-like techniques, and is closer to combinatorial/number-theoretic stuff that programmers are more likely to be familiar with.
I do that too, really upsets my wife when I just can't help but laugh when I have angered her. I have taken to apologizing while laughing and saying that I acknowledge my response is inappropriate, but I can't help it. Helps sometimes.
> you certainly don’t gain anything by wanting to kill/eat human babies

Actually, this is exactly what gorillas do. When there is a new alpha male, he will go and systematically kill all the baby gorillas who are still nursing. Why? So he can impregnate the mothers of these gorillas who are unable to reproduce while they are nursing. While human females can get pregnant while nursing a baby, they are less fertile during the first few months of breastfeeding.

Now I'm not saying this the reason why some people have this impulse. Just thought I'd share some interesting info with you. Happy new year!

Edit: I am not an expert on gorillas, just something I have recalled from reading Robert Sapolskys book, "Behave". I'm sure there is some nuance to this infanticidal behavior of gorillas which I have misrepresented. Apologies in advance to the primatologists who read my comment.
I was visiting a large successful startup that had a "no managers" mantra--they hired engineering A players who were expected to work on the right things.

It turns out that people want to work on the fun and challenging tasks. Nobody put the effort into the billing system and they were doing a poor job of collecting money from their customers.

That's the thing about any organization, there's plenty of grunt work and "boring" tasks to go around, but they need to get done. Scaling up any organization is an exercise in making sure that the right things get done.

A good debugger is good for quite a bit more than that. Watches, break points, performance/profiling. I actually can't believe you're hating on debuggers.
It's not that there isn't a way to provide housing to homeless and working poor, it's just that it requires regulation. When a parking space costs more than a person can afford in rent... it's unlikely that housing will either.. they'll have to find another location.

The market based solution is already present in city streets today with mentally ill, drug addicted, and others (under employed) living in tents and cardboard (or their illegally parked vehicles).

Once their UBI payday loans are properly directly deposited to a bank to repay last week's debt, they can once again return there. The idea that the most downtrodden will be better with their finances than 80% of the rest of the population is laughable.
I don't think it is the job of the university to investigate or take action. We already have laws -- use those.

Universities are not equipped to investigate and have guidelines to do so with due process. Making them responsible completely bypasses entire sections of law.

Somebody threatens you at the gym. It's not the gyms responsibility to investigate and take action. You call the cops. That is what you do.

Making other organizations reposnable for legal matters is just a way to bypass the law and do whatever the hell you want.

Simply put universities can't be the judge jury and executioner of the law.
How often is IC & circuit board failure a thing in cars although? I've had 20 year old cars, and the only components that failed in that category were micro switches on boards for windows and the ignition, and I was able to buy new replacement parts for them. Another common failure point in car electronics are connectors & cables, another thing that doesn't seem that hard to replace or have clones made by chinese manufactures.
That's the best phrasing I've read that reconciles these two beliefs (easier to build + saturation). Nicely and simply put.
Absolutely.

That being said, if a candidate just couldn't take off work for whatever reason, I am willing to do an evening interview.

Gotta be flexible, on both sides.
I have seen successful teams when only one person was very good at X and other learned it.

One of the patterns I saw regularly when I was contracting is a team of ten developers would have one or two people doing almost all the work.
What sort of problems are well-suited to graph databases? In other words, what are some scenarios where I will run into trouble using Postgres?

edit: I've previously looked into ArangoDB.com, Dgraph.io, JanusGraph.org, and Cayley.io (to run on top of CockroachDB). I understand all of these are scalable distributed systems, and Postgres is not (CitusData.com aside). Do the benefits of these other systems mainly come when you outgrow single-node Postgres (which has JSONB for "document" storage, PostGIS.net, Timescale.com, etc)?

edit 2: where can I find more technical, concrete examples than https://neo4j.com/use-cases?
I wonder where exactly do you see the violation?

Is it that I archived it on the blockchain, or that I shared a reader link to that transaction where the article is archived?
I'd checkout Square 1 Bank: https://www.square1bank.com/. Like Silicon Valley Bank, they are geared towards startups, and they have an office in NYC. Disclaimer: my brother works there.
Consider using Arangodb, a multi-model db. Document store, and graph-db in one. Has a query language (aql) that is easy to understand. Joins and relations are easy to accomplish. Version 3.4 has many new features, like full text search and geojson.
FYI to readers: The article gets unnecessarily graphic about violence against animals.
It's kind of hilarious to see a bunch of upscale tech workers singing the praise of the LLV when they would otherwise deride the vehicle it's built on.

If you went on /r/cars and said "I'm thinking of buying an '80s S10 with the 4cyl" you'd have people calling you crazy. They you say "but I'm going to put small tires on it and give it 4.10 gears so that the rear end doesn't spew parts and the transmission lives a long time" and they'd call you an idiot.

Somehow a special purpose truck body makes it more acceptable.

It goes to show you how much context/framing matter.
Bullet point on page 2: "Optimal hyperplane for linearly separable patterns"

I think the author may be working from a very different definition of the word "idiot".
Highly recommend you look at JanusGraph. Gremlin query language is quite easy, it's open source and the underlying graph DB for most cloud providers. I've extensively looked at the others. Janus Graph was our choice.
This is an important question for me to be able to answer, because if I can’t convince you it’s worth splitting your time between alt input (like voice and eye tracking) and keyboard/mouse, I can’t reduce your chance of developing RSI.

There’s the fear approach (I personally believe >50% of people who use computers full-time will develop at least minor hand injuries), but I don’t think fear is enough on its own.

The most promising thing I think is workflow improvements. For voice, the ability to issue commands like “next song” while typing feels amazing. You can also be more specific about many commands, like “focus chrome” is nicer than mashing cmd-tab a bunch or binding a key to each app. For eye tracking, I think autoscrolling text as you read and jumping your mouse to the right spot when you look at your second monitor are two big ones.
Yes, but then you have to regulate the spending of UBI on basic needs rather than debt service for payday cash.
As a somewhat experienced CEO it sounds like you're asking for something for nothing. You get the financial gains and the mentor gets to feel emotionally fulfilled? This is business. If you want people invested to the point that they're making a meaningful impact you need to compensate them and bring them in full-time.

Furthermore, it sounds like you've encountered the biggest challenge a CEO faces which is how to successfully go about talent acquisition. To me it sounds like you really should be looking for a cofounder.

If you're dead set on mentorship there are CEO mentorship groups out there such as Vistage. I've never attended but I can imagine it's useful.
Actuarially, just go with 1 per 1000 employees for bigger companies. Go 1 in 3000 as a lower boundary, but as high as 1/500 or less for companies with older or lower skilled employees.

I do agree with other commenters that your procedures should keep you safe in case of regular churn (say 1 in 3 to 1 in 10) or even non-regular churn (say due to a toxic team-lead and a whole team quitting).

Ideally procedures should be in place that treats all these events quite equally and favor robust practices.
+1 Very good comment.

Debuggers are great interrogating arbitrary program state (it's a printf you don't need to hardcode!) and acting as a REPL for trying out new code.
Anecdata - the thing is real.

I consider myself to be a well adjusted person, but I have a confession to make.

Whenever I find myself i a toy store in a 'too cute' section, I feel tension to grow inside me. I have a compulsion to arrange toys in sexual-situation-resembling poses, stage simulated toy-crashes or break the cute atmosphere in similar a way.
Not to mention that nobody makes an EV that isn't chock full of bespoke electronics. Eventually the sheer number of components and MTBF will just start biting you in the ass all the time.
85% chance Musk is no longer CEO of Tesla by the end of 2019? I'm not sure that's "wisdom".

The rest seemed pretty reasonable, though.
This was on Ubuntu 14.04 -- I know 14.04 is dated, but its the last image I had running from the previous tests :).

I wrote some stupidly simple bash to just pipe output of fuzz to every executable in /usr/bin/, with a 10 second timeout. This was only meant as a quick experiment, so there was no consideration of proper arguments (e.g. some applications may only read files and not stdin).

The following applications produced a core dump:

/usr/bin/icontopbm
/usr/bin/pnmmontage
/usr/bin/pnmpsnr
/usr/bin/rletopnm
/usr/bin/nslookup
/usr/bin/aleph
/usr/bin/acpi_listen
/usr/bin/info
/usr/bin/xetex
Significantly, it becomes a simple, 2-layer neural network. The power of the advances of neural networks in the past decade have largely relied on "deep" architectures with many layers. Very deep networks effectively learn the features from the data, rather than learn a decision surface over a set of hand-crafted features, as in learning with SVMs or shallow neural networks.
I've already memorized it in binary though.
I would use std::cout but output "\n" instead of endl.

The government wants money to flow, to drive the economic growth and job creation that gets it reelected. It's the last thing that's going to encourage low-consumption/high-savings lifestyles.
This is best done at the edge/CDN layer now. Many of them support real-time optimization (along with resizing, etc) to send the best version to the client that's requesting it. Also recommend Cloudinary and Filestack for a completely managed assets system.
Random side note, but when is the 'FAANG' acronym going to die? MSFT is killing it, prob the top tech company around these days. Needs to be included in that list.
> What's actually going to happen is this:

I don't think anyone knows what's going to happen. Definitely not extrapolated out as far as you have.
Sure, a "trust process" can be a useful workaround for that problem. So can a functioning legal system that enforces that such criminals can't actually make money from their shenannigans.

You just said what the gp post said in a different order. Both processes are at play here in both the US and China. I've met guys who did work for someone in the US, who then turned around and said, "You want to get paid? Sue me!" Yes, brazen as that.

That said, it can be argued that using legal mechanisms may be more reproducible and sustainable long term, than having charismatic people running around having relationships with everyone who must perform at a high level to ensure quality. Again, both are at play in both cultures, but having more of the mechanistic legal side may well allow for better scaling.

One thing that may make a difference between China and the US is the degree of independence of the judiciary, the degree of the rule of law, and checks and balances on the government. If the government gets up to too many shenanigans in the US, people will call them out, using principles, frameworks, and processes which are already laid out. In principle, you can't get jailed for doing this. It's in our rights to be able to hold the government to account. In China, there's just far less independence of the judiciary, less independence of the press, and more latitude for the government to pragmatically do what it wants. This means that crooked actors who want to bribe themselves into a little immunity have a more favorable market.

This is what you always have to ask yourself in any such context, government or corporate: Is concentrated power having its way with the public? Is there a way for people to call it out, or is dissent suppressed? Are people in power playing by rules, or are they making it up as they go along?

FWIW: I don't buy for a minute that this has anything to do with chinese "culture".

This is the big bone of contention between me and my chinese wife. She requested to me that I tell an outright lie about how we met on a dating site, so her coworkers don't rib her. I would rather just never lie, short of something like saving the life of an innocent from evil people. She seems to think my position is extreme and unreasonable.

Industrial engineer by training here, I honed my chops on Kaggle competitions, eventually winning one. I was recently brought into a FAANG in a ML/AI engineering capacity.

The big difference is building work can be repeatable, the people that built the garages on the housing development behind me did the same job for each of the 39 houses.

Development is never really like that, why would you write another JSON parser if you already did it yesterday.
