Sadly the "Jobs you might be interested in..." from linkedin are, despite knowing quite a bit about what my skills are.... almost always completely irrelevant.

ie. They have the data... they are mind blowingly incompetent at using it.
Youre correct. I didnt catch the distinction when I first skimmed the article and parent comment. Part of it is that my active “canary” tests themselves emit relevant TSD indicative of system performance.

The general concept outlined Id lump in to “approval workflows.” The gradual, intentional, deployment of mixed versions to the same workload Id call something like A/B or red/blue version deployments.
For some reason, this reminds me of Jay's piece on reliability of distributed systems [1]

I imagine soundcloud could have used a hidden iframe to play the audio.
If you seriously believe that, then you are equally guilty of crimes against humanity for being an accomplice to these acts with your consumption of their products. After all, they haven't forced you to buy their goods.
"Sure, it's not abused by the government right now" - actually I think it has been by many governments many times.

There has been some push back on occasion, (facebook wanting to withhold data against the NY AG looking for insurance fraudsters with pm data?) and in some cases the gov has backed off, a few times the courts made them back off some (the dreamhost site visitors data requests from sessions and co?) -

There are many more examples, however I agree with your comment and I think that in general most people are unaware of massive gov overreach with data requests at the moment, so most would say the data is not being grossly over used / abused by (the US) gov right now.

However that could change quickly, just as the cambridge analytica made people start to question some things with private companies use / abuse.
Ive the 2018 i9 MacBook Pro. "upgraded" to this from a 2014 model. Not only is the keyboard not as terrible as claimed its many times worse. I have few words to describe how terrible it is. I use an external keyboard whenever I can. Anyone who uses f9/f10/f11 regularly soon realizes how bad the Touch Bar is for development. When I debug I rest my finger on the f10 key to step through the code. NO CAN DO on a Touch Bar. In fact this is the first Mac I am considering selling, even for a loss. I really hope that someone at apple reads this.
I'd prefer to move to a world where fuel costs (extraction, refining, transportation, pollution, toxins, ...) move asymptotically toward zero. The sun generates the energy, with huge surpluses. Anyone who wishes to can just collect, store and distribute it. Until the sun goes red.

Where will all of that saved money go? These chaps see it going into the same old pockets, and so naturally they're racing to get their fingers in the pie. I'd prefer to see all that saved money invested in all life on our planet.
I have a MacBook Pro 2017. I have had sticky keys - but thankfully only the right arrow and bottom arrow key.

I'm actually with Apple on this one - I think it needs revision, but I actually have gotten used to the flat typing. It makes the other keyboards I've tried feel really, really mushy. I can actually type over 90WPM on this thing at typeracer.com.

Overall, I wish it was quieter and didn't have sticky keys, but otherwise, the shallowness is no problem for me.
Is Google not a privacy threat?
Alright, consider it useless then. I kind of like it.

>Bump gasoline up a dollar or two, then SUVs and trucks will slow down.

That was true in 2003, but I don't think it is anymore. The MPG penalty for a crossover compared to a sedan is only about 15% now which is probably worth it for most Americans.
Lillie from Notion here again - this upcoming release is going to seriously help with speed as well as improve usage offline and on unstable connections. This is one of the reasons we've been working on it for so long!

He's not saying that the total dev environment is bigger than the total prod environment. He's saying that this one cluster of dev machines is much bigger than other clusters of machines (dev or prod). that could be true while simultaneously having many more prod machines than dev machines.

The author explains: however there is one cluster that was built significantly larger than the others and hosted around 2,000 development environment workloads. (This was an artifact of the early days of running “smaller clusters, more of them”, when we were trying to figure out the right size of “smaller”.)
I like a lot of things that are hard to use and only used by a handful of weirdos.
What proportion of 16 year olds are paying tax? My guess is <1%.

How many 16 year olds work enough to make above the minimum exemption? (£11,580) My guess is very few. Minimum wage for 16-18 year olds is £4.20/hr, but they'd need to make above £5.56 (11580/40/52) to have to pay income tax as they cannot work more than 40h a week.

I also assume the vast majority have no/negligible assets to earn income off.

So the only tax they would be paying is VAT, which everyone, including tourists, pay and shouldn't confer the right to representation.

Lillie from Notion here! We're improving our speed and performance across the board. We're also still working on features that Evernote has to make the transition easier, stay tuned ;)
Sorry about that. Heads down on the release at the moment and haven't checked this thread much. Will do better.

"More Data is Not Better" is also clickbaity and needless
Most westerners, and certainly visitors to this site, have spent at least the past 30 years in the assumption that neoliberal capitalism marks, as Fukiyama spouted in 1989 as the wall came down, “the end of history”. It’s becoming difficult to recite why this claim was taken for truth but there was a reason it felt that way.

It’s more than just admitting we are wrong. We also have to find a way out, and there isn’t one unless we all do it together.

You’re exactly right that we urgently need to move beyond the blame and recognize it’s up to all of us to get out of this mess.

Historical trajectories point to 2 possibilities for the United States: denialism followed by Fascism, or a miracle followed by socialism (of some degree). The miracle is a shortcut through the contradiction Upton Sinclair articulates: "It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it."
Agreed. Mobile and text editing two of our weakest areas. A lot more work ahead of us but we'll get there!

For environments like that, I think Haveged is the general approach these days. Latest dev code (revived project) is now here:

It's the (officially blessed, I think) continuation from the original Haveged:

Are you suggesting Google doesn’t also have to do this?
Thanks, somehow missed that.
I've always heard "eee gee" for "e.g."
I like what you are pointing out here, however I think in what the quote is describing is true, in that google and facebook are censoring and moderating many things and increasing the visibility of engaging to the particular user things, is (unfortunately) restricting in a pleasing way.

however I think what you are pointing out is important, and I'd like to think that we are educating people to question what they see and hear, and that if they were surfing the whole web of the world, not the censored google view or fbook view - they indeed they would be able to increase their agency and continue to do so in many ways, rather than being restricted to a particular prude groups view of what advertisers may be comfortable with.
I've tried using Notion on iOS and it feels so slow and I know it is not native because swiping back should get me back to the current page but it just refreshed the whole page. Are there plans migrating iOS to a more native one?
Initially there was a lot of futzing, because the hardware just came out (UHD 630 Intel graphics). Some things like Nvidia graphics and SD card reader won’t work because of missing drivers, and are unlikely to work in the future.

That said, I use this setup every day and mostly forget it’s not a Mac. I was quite frustrated by the new Touch Bar Macs issued by my work (unpleasant keyboard, no real F keys, USB C only, flimsy back case that has dents in it from regular commuting use somehow), so I didn’t see that as a viable upgrade path for me since I like to keep my computers for 5+ years.

That’s probably not very convincing, but for me it was the right choice. For what’s its worth, I intend to support the XPS 9570 as a Hackintosh platform until at least 2023.
Rapidus Delivery Is Hiring Entrepreneurial Sales / Business Development Manager
I'm looking for the Sales / Business Development Manager to join my team.

My #1 requirement is being an Entrepreneur. So it's not your typical "sales" role.

Second is your priority of Customer Development. Know your customer, learn about current use cases, be able to understand and communicate inefficiencies and gaps in the current process, position solution to the gaps and improvement to the business.

Selling comes last. We'll teach you a lot about our customers, demand gen, however, you have to enjoy the Inside Sales.

I'm happy to tell you more - book time with me https://calend.ly/op-rapidus/1-1

Remote is okay. We're operating in both SoCal and NorCal and launched successful pilots in CO, WA, OR, FL and GA.
> That standard of free speech is obsolete

What is the modern example/standard?
> The current state of the art of ML assumes nonlinear relationships between all parameters. It can't assume simpler & reasonable models, and therefore it can't extrapolate easily with reduced data.

I'm not really sure what "low-dimensional intuition" means, but I pretty regularly build models that do not "assume nonlinear relationships between all parameters".
I think that Bezos literally wrote every line of code and assembled every atom on the servers hosting the api. That’s how I intetpreted Yegge’s post and why I think Bezos built AWS.

The Bezos-as-Demiurge theory, or “Gnostic Amazon” theory? I like it.
Sure it is kinda clear, but the fact that literally nothing works (no content?) kinda throws you off guard.

So, the Snowden archives were released years ago.

Why is this news today?
no, this is not correct.

Nor economically... it's very expensive, from cradle to grave, and far beyond (decommissioning and waste storage reaching out for centuries). Solar and wind have zero fuel costs (before mechanical/electronic conversion), have already proven to be very competitive, and can be quickly manufactured and installed (months, not decades).

And they create lots of jobs.

I've heard about promising new, safer nuke tech for decades. So far, no proof in the pudding. Solar and wind tech were deliberately held back, politically, for decades. Too bad, we would be in much less trouble if that hadn't happened.
But was it worth all the broken DNA!!
So, the article is from 2015. But the archives were released long before then.

My question remains. Why is this news today?

An options market won't exist until many months after the IPO. Probably 3-6 months at the least.

Unlike employees, clients generally want their contractors to have experience working with competitors.

They also don’t want the contractor to disclose anything about their business or the project to anyone else, which is why they’ll never expect you to provide a competing clients list. If they ever start to inquire, that line of questioning is trivially shut down by pointing this out. You take confidentiality seriously, and that applies to them as well.

That aside, it’s a ridiculous proposition. They are hiring you as an expert in this domain because of your experience. If you’d signed such an agreement with the first company to suggest that, you would not be able to offer your services to the client.
the most random thing ticked me from Google good toward Google evil yesterday when I discovered an Android app can choose whether or not youre allowed to take a screenshot. (I'm normally iOS but have a Pixel 2 for testing)

Apps imo should not have that control. It's my phone. I should be able to capture what I want. I shouldn't need to get out another device to take a picture of a bug or record a transaction for safe keeping.

That Google chose that solution struck me as heading down a Black mirror like path. I can imagine it won't be long before AI will decide if you can even take a picture of something. Someday we'll augment our eyes and they'll decide what we're allowed to see.

In their defense apparently they were trying to prevent background apps from spying on your screen. They just chose the wrong solution IMO. A solution I think will end up having far reaching consequences as a precedent of control.
Data generated by a researcher on a government grant generally includes a provision in the grant that says the govt owns the data, doesn't it?
And if the govt owns it, this seems to indicate it should be open...
The problem with referendums is you can't have just one.

The losers will always want another referendum, and they will always be able to point out problems with the previous one and/or argue that significant things have changed since it was held. The results of the previous referendum will never seem legitimate unless it was passed by an overwhelming majority of voters.

Just don't have referendums. They open a wound that will never heal.
They are just buying SUVs. The overall amount of cars being bought hasn't gone down.
1. Thank you!

2. The other reply is right. Zero cost compared to the best possible implementation.
eg doesn't stand for "example given", it stands for "exempli gratia".
Shell scripting has a place and script languages aren't always the answer for improvement. For many tasks it can even be more verbose but logic crafting can be easier.

You should rather look for languages like fish, which makes shell scripting feel better than drop it altogether.

More than hubris, the people paying you to write laws want to make sure they pay just one place and not 50 states.
if you eat near the computer or live in a place with lots of dust/debris in the air- and have a 2016-2017 keyboard- it will probably just keep happening.
I've always said 'for example'
No my point is that all cloud providers have to do this so there's not as much difference in effective privacy between them as discussions often seem to assume.

Seems like you need to store all your data locally or encrypted on your own servers if you really want privacy.

My understanding is: It's a fancy way of saying "lots of variables", because a lot of these problems are converted into linear algebra representations (which can have geometric analogies, hence: dimensions).
A brief search shows between 3-5 cents average markup in the US, which lines up with what I've been told from first hand sources, which means somewhere between one and two hundred dollars per day from gas sales.

That's definitely not enough income to keep a gas station afloat.

I own some Apple stock. I don’t influence in any meaningful way how Apple spends its money. I don’t influence in any meaningful way their corporate policy. The owners of Apple, save for a few individuals, don’t have a real say in how Apple uses its freedom of speech. Apple is not a group of people coming together in the same way political organizations are and Apple/Google/Exxon, etc. have far more money to send on political speech than any other organized group of people.
The idea ismore like : start from a full embedding layer train the network, after the training stabilizes break the first layer into two using the SVD formulation in an online fashion and continue training - after only a few more epochs you gain back all accuracy almost. This is particulary interesting and efficient compared to quantization / pruning methods as there is no way to regain lost accuracy in those methods... quantized distillation can be an option but too slow as pointed out by the authors, offline embedding compression like FastText.zip compresses embedding matrix offline and seems to be less information preserving than this method leading to worse performance.
Another important thing to note: this method shows significant improvement over quantization/ pruning/ hashing when the network is deep. Deeper the network more is the quantization error due to more FLOPs in low precision - whereas this algorithm being principled from an information theoretic perspective maintains steady performance irrespective of network depth actually deeper nets will give better gains. In many of our experiments on smaller tasks this method actually acts as a cheap regularization as well leading to boosted performance.
Also i guess we need to appreciate the mathematical elegance and ease of implementation. Also look at the Numerical Analysis that guarantees and provides bounds compared to Quantization methods.

Toyota Supra gets new life: sports car debuts at 2019 Detroit auto show
As the Higgs fills in the last missing particle for the Standard Model, creating such a new accelerator seems very speculative. Maybe there is nothing else to find at higher energies, there is no hint of them at the LHC and the Standard model does not predict anything. I understand professionals always want more experimental power, but given the $10billion+ cost, it seems hard to justify.
I've had an X1 Carbon for a few months, coming from a 2015 MBP. Track pad is pretty bad compared to a MacBook. Everything else is very good. I got the high res screen too and it is comparable to a retina display IMHO.

I've installed Ubuntu 18 with 0 problems. Sleep works fine, haven't had any issues with wake up. You do need to install some custom software and change a BIOS setting for it to use 'Linux' sleep mode (or something like that). Battery life is 'pretty good', not exceptional like MBPs, but definitely in the 6hr range.

Overall I'd recommend a X1 Carbon, especially since you will spend nearly $1k less on the comparable specs.
A friend once said that he tried to design UIs for people who were drunk, high, and tired, all at the same time. They were pretty awesome even when sober and well-rested.

This is an perfect example of a news for the sake of news. The author twice points out that he could be wrong and that they can't really predict at all.

I guess if things do go south, he will be able to use this article to point out that he had predicted it and that he is a economic guru.
In image recognition, Google asserted in 2017 that they were unable to find decreasing returns -- "Performance increases logarithmically based on volume of training data." Maybe for supply-chain and regression models there is a limit but it seems in deep neural nets maybe there's a different answer.

Poll: A majority of Americans support raising the top tax rate to 70 percent
This is a must read for anyone building a (first-time startup tech)business in general, especially so if you are remote. It has helped me scale our team at my previous co.
Some questions I had after reading it:

* Would this have been less painful with Netflix-esque patterns? Circuit breakers, throttling and the like? Failing hard on purpose is often easier to diagnose than failing fuzzily without clear cause.

* Would it be acceptable to maintain spare capacity? For a prod cluster on the main money path, I think everyone thinks yes. Who holds the decision bit for dev, which is a second-order source of money?

* Can I avoid the second act by having a clean way to (1) reset the entire system and (2) bring it up in an orderly fashion, as quickly as possible? Not every app needs to be relaunched simultaneously, there's presumably _some_ order of preference. Once the cluster state began to oscillate it doesn't seem like there were any easy options other than resetting it.

I'm guessing it's a false positive from using an IP similar to a sketchy site. It looks like the IP points to Linode.

Oil industries have the financial resources to influence policy, public opinion, economics and business practices. Individuals do not.

Blaming the consumer for buying bad shit when there is not only no equivalent on the market, but an active campaign to supress any alternatives is simply being dishonest.

And I am forced to buy their products. I need my car to get to work. I can't afford an electric vehicle. If I don't work, I can't have a home or eat. Thus my choice becomes: consume oil or die.

Not sure I see the problem, you can still access everything you've paid for to date, I think it's fair. If you were to leave stuff with a storage company and let payment lapse, they would hold it as collateral until you paid.
