Both good points that I forgot to mention. I implicitly assumed most people would eventually move away from SV, but if you plan to stay there your whole life, then you'll have a much more difficult time buying a home and/or retiring. And having children adds a whole new dimension of financial difficulties.
Mine also. In our case it's called "Science by the Pint". http://sitn.hms.harvard.edu/science-by-the-pint/
Yes it is. Honestly I prefer o365 because I can use the desktop versions of their applications to edit my cloud stored docs/spreadsheets, etc.
To put this into perspective: The tax revenue in France for 2016 was 1,013,134 million Euro (€1 trillion) [1].

The additional €500 million constitutes less than 0.05% increase.

I think you don't understand the math here. If you are in your 20s, single, and making six figures, you can rent an apartment with three other people in the bay and pay like 1-1.5k in rent and it's quite nice because you have so much extra capital to spend on top of saving.

And there are things to spend it on here. Heck many in their thirties do this.
What? No, that argument is nothing like the claim you are trying to make in that first paragraph. Please stick to actual working logic.

Yes, nuclear can deliver more energy per m2. But this is irrelevant, since we have no shortage of m2. What we have limits on is $$$. On the metric of energy/$, nuclear fails. And no, we do not know that the problem with nuclear is political. You can keep repeating that, but it doesn't make you any less wrong.
Thanks for sharing! Now I understand what you had in your mind is yet to come for me, my children are still toddlers. I'm with you on huge time investment the family is, I am still in the phase where I'm hoping I can keep up by cutting sleep time but at some point during the day body finds its way to take back what was taken away from it...
Which would include the debt you've incurred after having already received a haircut or a meal, no? Or is that somehow not classified as a debt even though it walks, talks, and looks like a debt?
0.05% increase in tax revenue won't make a big dent. See my comment above.

Maybe it's just because I haven't invested the time to learn it properly, but the one time I was forced to use Visio instead of my go-to, Dia, for a diagram I found it excruciating. Specifically I recall not being able to work out how to make it let the diagram be arbitrarily large instead of forcing me to cram it onto a single page.

Any links to the Bjarne story? I can't find it.
This would be an absorption photometer or something similar. You shine light of a known wavelength through your sample and measure the intensity that's transmitted. If you have enough wavelengths and they're useful (ie you're looking for some feature in your sample that is either present or absent, or is a proxy for something you want to measure), you can do some basic analysis of your sample. It might be enough for QA in some industries.

You can also do fluorescence spectroscopy where you illuminate with multiple wavelengths and image in multiple filters (or a single filter). You end up with a grid of measurements that can be used to fingerprint samples.

Monochromators are a cheap way of measuring spectra, but since you need to measure each wavelength individually they're pretty slow. Most lab spectrometers are real-time.
TL;DR seems to be that lots of apps include the Facebook SDK and when you initialise the SDK it always sends your device ID back to Facebook.

Most negative news about Facebook is nonsense but this does seem to be pretty shady on Facebook's part.
Maastar - slightly adjacent idea. Research papers sometimes involve data through which the hypothesis is made, getting access to this data can help understand hypothesis better. It can also fuel other ideas for people. Would be great to also have workspace where people can engage in active data-sleuthing through these shared spaces and workbenches.
That's an excellent question, and one I'm currently struggling with.

On the one hand, I would like to grow Risk-First as a community, and get other people authoring articles. With this in mind, I am trying to automate the process by which collaborators are added to the github organisation... it's manual at the moment which is already painful.

On the other hand, I wanted to publish this work in order that it could be read off-line (in print form, should be ready end of Feb) or on a kindle (which is currently pre-order). This _probably_ won't generate much income as it essentially is content that is already for free on the website.

Probably, the license is sufficiently permissive that other people could also publish the work as a book for their own means, so long as they retained attribution or copyright notices. I guess this is the usual quandary on making anything open-source.

I expect you're right that the license _should be_ CC-BY. I need to investigate further on this. Do you have any further thoughts on this?
And then you get so big they want to call and chat you up every week or two(ads that is) .

Pay to play? I guess so.

Companies not 'paying it forward' to open source is just one small component of the 'give nothing to anybody' playbook that sees corporations specialize in evading taxes, redacting employee benefits, supplementing unlivable wages with food stamps etc.

I think the only solution is to stop giving them our money and highlight their greed.
Summary of notable AI news from 2018
I once had to call the IRS for something and it also “worked”. The wait time was pretty reasonable (5 min or so), the person I spoke with was polite, knowledgeable, and actually resolved the problem on the first try.

It was heads and shoulders above most interactions I’ve had with with ISPs, big banks, and the like, where you get transferred around between departments that don’t seem particularly interested in helping you out....
Good introductions to concurrent programming?
I've done a small amount of occasional threading work in C#/Java/Python at various times, but not a huge amount or anything really significant. I keep coming across languages that take a new approach to concurrency - Go, Elixir and even Pony look really interesting. But I'm struggling to really understand what the motivating examples are for their approaches to concurrency/what the tradeoffs are without a solid understanding of the sorts of concurrent programs that are written.

It seems like there's a huge amount of work going on that it'd be useful career-wise to understand and be able to engage with, but I'm not really sure where to start. Does anybody have any recommendations? I think material that approached Go or Elixir from a very practical application-first perspective would probably be really useful, but I'm open to other suggestions too!
Learning doesn’t only mean getting up to speed on the new and shiny. The depth and breadth of past research and papers is often timeless and valuable—more often than not moreso than the shiny. Also deepening one’s own skills in areas one’s already familiar with brings many benefits, and qualifies as learning in my book.

And this doesn’t even touch on learning outside of ones field, which is great for well-roundedness and for discovering parallels one doesn’t necessarily find within a single domain.
It's not. It's used in "with", sorry that wasn't clear.
Finally we can 'zoom and enhance' anything! It will be great for tv shows and movies.

I can’t imagine what else I’d do “after” this. I intend to be with the industry for a full career; unless and until it moves, that means being here.
Google, Apple, PayPal and other platforms that can cause a major disruption to a business by terminating its account must offer a service of auditing on demand in order to mitigate and control the risk of sudden deactivation. Such service can be paid, no problem. Customers should be able to request the auditing in order to understand what they look like from the platform's point of view and estimate possible risks. Shutting down established business accounts without a notice is absolutely not acceptable.

title seems somewhat editorialized to make one wonder how a social worker had $11M to give.

> He said Naiman received a sizable inheritance when his father died, which added to his fortune

how much of it can be attributed to frugalness remains questionable.

a great deed, nevertheless.
Very admirable, though the headline hints he amassed this fortune solely through saving a modest paycheck when he was a banker earlier in his career and received a "sizeable inheritance".
I made the move to the Bay Area with a family in my 30s. It’s not perfect, but we’re saving dramatically more than we could anywhere else. I don’t know how long we’ll stay, but at this rate 5 years would be enough to set us up really well almost anywhere else in the US.

I wish I’d gotten into software sooner. If you come out here at 22, live with roommates and stay until you’re 30, you probably take anywhere from $400-700k in savings with you to then have a much easier life somewhere else.

That’s why people do it, especially when they’re young.

Also in terms of math, you need to know that the big companies here pay about 50% via salary and the rest via bonus and stock, so the salary numbers you see are only the “live day to day” money. The other half of your income comes in big checks every quarter or so, which makes it easy to shovel that straight into savings.
Interesting - the system we sell is better than 5nm (depending on the fibre) and is in that price bracket. What's the application in mining?
Exactly. The cost of this protectionism will be borne by consumers in these markets in the form of increased prices and the benefits accrue to those that own companies in the protected market.

How does it handle PG updates like for example from PG 9 to PG 10?
update: They say they do not log anything, and pass no information upstream to the authoritative DNS server.

------

I didn't see anything in the announcement about logging or other privacy related questions. The FAQ also didn't list this information.

The only thing they mention about privacy is how a dns request to them is protected, but not what they do with the data.

Did I miss something?

-------

Reading their privacy policy:

>We do not collect anything for tracking purposes and take all necessary technical, administrative and physical measures to protect the information we get.

>When AdGuard DNS user tries to visit a page, our server receives following information:
User’s IP-address;
DNS request which contains domain name.

>The DNS request will be forwarded to a root or authoritative DNS server, but for the upstream server it looks as if this request is originated from AdGuard DNS server, there is absolutely no way for them to identify the original user. We, in our turn, do not log or save any of this information.

"bad packets"
It is easy to find arguments for anything in hindsight as you did and that doesn't make the 'method' anymore valid or generally useful to everyone and I didn't say it is a bad thing.

I find it a shame that apparently many of us have problems with doing things just for fun without feeling guilty about not being productive. You can do whatever you want with your time though and for any reason. I am not telling anyone what to do here ;)

Nobody explicitly, obviously. However, the head of the Republican party has expressed frustration multiple times that the press is "allowed to say whatever it wants." This sentiment has carried over into the "drag tech companies in front of the Senate" debacle, and my read of the questions being asked of, for example, Zuckerberg, were that they were being asked to try to demonstrate that not only do internet companies "have bias," but that they should be regulated, perhaps made to be more "fair" to the Republican party. I believe such regulation could easily transform or be compared to my Google searches being blocked in China because they "violate the political harmony of the people's republic."

You may fairly say that I am engaging in slippery slope, but I take freedom of speech and thought very seriously, and so any attacks on it to any degree are terribly inflated in my mind.
Ibuprofen is not really a cash cow though as it is now out of patent protection. So while you seem to desire maliciousness I'd venture to say.this is a rather prudent scientific approach. Should all men stop taking ibuprofen on the basis of this one study? No, obviously not.
My go-to is Dia, for a few reasons: It's portable, it's open, you can import sheets of widgets for whatever you're doing, it uses XML files so you can automate diagram generation if need be, and it's simple.

However, I doubt anyone will make the claim that what it produces is beautiful.

> how much of it can be attributed to frugalness remains questionable.

All of it. Most people that luck into wealth spend it all if they are not schooled in the arts of finance. A couple of shopping sprees, a bad investment here and there, a bad fund manager and it's all gone.

Thanks for the update. For many images users, the T&Cs are just as important as the images, so it will be good to clear this up.
iOS apps have similar issues, actually. On the Android side, you can at least use free and auditable apps from the F-Droid repository, and buy your device from an OEM vendor which will let you unlock it and install google-free LineageOS.

(More speculatively, the community is now working on replacing AOSP altogether with the usual Linux desktop stack, via PostmarketOS. Not usable right now, but it's progressing rather quickly, and may well be practically useful later in 2019.)
I'm 100 agree! Plantuml is great, not as pretty as other tools but build diagrams for internal doc is awesome!like conflucence, wiki, sphinx, etc.. I'm in love with!
I love mentorship, but I don't feel like I'm in a position to mentor anyone. Learning enough to be able to spread my knowledge (or the beneficial application thereof) is the core reason why I want to improve. I know that the more I improve, the more I can help others with what I've learned. Is it possible to have useful mentorship without a focus on self-improvement as well?

Nicotinamide/niacinamide supplements have been creeping out of vendors for a while now, many following this publication. This article suggests there should have been human trials in 2018, it would be interesting to see what happened there.
Thanks! I'll check that out!
If everyone just runs a static analyzer after compiling you could have best of both worlds. For example the tool would complain if you don't use 'override'. Problem is that not everyone runs the same tool. So at work I would like to compile with (for example) -Wconversion (warn about implicit conversions that lose precision). But this is impossible because Qt headers raise so many warnings on this. And because C++ has no module system I can either 1) fix all of Qt or 2) don't add the warning and keep writing old C++. I think you can guess what I will do.
Meanwhile in the south you can make those same six figures and have a 5 bedroom house with a mortgage of 1.5k

Or live in a nice area for 800 a month. Or live in a shit area for 400.

SV math does not work out. You are taxed to much. Pay to high rent and have the pleasure of needing a shit map to walk in your city.

I keep seeing this same argument about getting to pay 1.5k to live with a bunch of other people to save some money.

No thanks.
I did a feeder-ship from Rotterdam. While it was interesting to see the logistics and tight schedules, next time I would skip a run and stay at the destination for more than the day it took them to exchange containers.
Yep. Of course you’ll have to be negligent if not willfully wrong in your returns. But VAT ain’t nuthin’ to fuck with. It will come back to you.
My primary background as a professional developer is front-end, and I sometimes feel I can barely keep up. For any project where it's an option, I try to put as much in the back-end as possible. So far it's working out well.

For example, I had a little game where initially I wrote a React+ecosystem solution that worked. Then, considering that I don't need x updates per seconds, I switched to server-side rendering + morphdom.

As a result I could reduce all my code to 1) websockets messages to the server and strings of markup from the server, and 2) a few 'optimistic updates' on the client-side by directly changing the DOM. Having no more client-side state to maintain really simplifies things.

Considering that this was a viable solution to a game that has to update the DOM on pretty much every click (but no more than that), it's probably a fine solution to the vast majority of apps I build.

I can't wait for Phoenix LiveView to make this kind of solution less ad-hoc, but at least so far even the ad-hoc solution is so much simpler...
I prototyped something for a startup I was working on, and put in about 80-100 hours a week for three months. That was probably the most I could have managed. I went a bit crazy. My dreams got weird.

It also adds a bunch of social difficulties, unless you try to pull of the entire make-bank/move-elsewhere cycle before they reach elementary school age. Once they are in school, they start making their own friendships and relationships, and it becomes much more impactful for everyone to make that move to the new low-cost area, leaving everything they know behind.
Protectionism implies non-foreign tech companies don't have to pay that tax. I don't see anyone suggesting that.
This is a sort of book I'm writing. Wanted to publish online to get some feedback! Thanks!
Why "on the other hand"? That the number of programmer increased is just to show that the industry changed and is now incredibly bigger.
Zip code is a darn good proxy for race, family wealth, social standing, network prospects....
Fixed, though it will take a little while for Travis to deploy the fix.
Yes it is. The claim made is that the change in life expectancy is due to the diet. But it's well known that "you can't explain a variable with a constant". If the diet has not changed, it cannot explain a change in life expectancy.

You are suggesting that the change in life expectancy is due to a period of living without wars and dictatorships. Whether this is right or not it is certainly a much more sensible explanation, but it has nothing to do with diet.
There was a bit of a scare around a 7-zip vulnerability earlier this year. [0] Turns out 7-zip is embedded inside a lot of other programs making those vulnerable too.

"Let's wipe out Ireland's economy" might not be the best angle to solve the issue.

It's quite silly, since the EU would probably benefit from a uniform corporate tax rate and closing loopholes that allow the "double Irish". The EU could then afford to compensate the relative loss in Ireland (and a few other places). But this would require moving forward to a federal EU, with a bigger budget and a much greater effort at tax harmonization. Not a very popular idea these days.

I think it makes sense that a few countries start on their own, especially big ones (France, Germany, ...)
We'll probably see some retaliation against big EU corporations, especially in the US. But I don't think anybody will shed a tear.
That is an interesting thought.

I'd never considered that an excellent media playback program would be a vector for nation state and entities with nation state capabilities.
yes, but is this sampling a good idea? Have you tried measuring temperatures periodically when the child appears well? What is the variation then? How do you know that the device is telling you something meaningful? Is the child getting flustered and hotter because of the attention?
They're the exception that "proves" the rule, really. There's a quote from someone that goes along the lines "Young women are generally the most valued people by society. The people least valued by society are young men." That's probably what the previous comment was rephrasing. I experienced this first hand, as a man, after graduating from college at the start of the great recession and not having any luck finding work for years thereafter.

Having said that, the economy has been very different for this cycle than it was when I was fresh out of college. It clearly varies inside and outside SV, and all the other usual caveats.

I mean, the guy had a career in banking, he's not someone off the street who won the lottery. He could also have inherited $30M, then lost most of it. The title makes it seem like he was clipping coupons and eating ramen.

"Banker-turned-social-worker leaves $11M to children's charities" would be a more honest headline.
The study talks about giving the mice NMN, not Niagen. Are the two related?
Employers are part of society and have to accommodate peoples' human functions. Requiring employers to make bathrooms available and giving bathroom breaks is reasonable, as is requiring employers to provide say parental leave (even if childless people can't use it). Setting working hours that can accommodate having kids is another reasonable thing--expecting people to regularly be in the office after typical daycare closing times is a bad thing to do.
I've seen it mentioned on forums. But what does science say about it?

There are a bunch of expensive NAD supplements out there but dosage is nowhere close to the same as the studies and no shown efficacy in humans yet.
