Say you have two employees. One is smarter than the other. That employee will work relatively hard and deliver constant results. The other will take a big chance and work everything they have for a year. Say the chance of them performing better than the smarter employee is 50%. So measured over one year they essentially perform as well, but over three years the smarter employee wins since the other employee can't keep up their pace.

So what is the problem? Well, now imagine there are multiple less smart employees. Even over three years it might then seem like those employees perform better since they are more and a few might succeed for the whole three years. So now the smart employee might get fired. Performance is therefor no longer about work, but who essentially is lucky enough to not burn out in e.g. three years. Soon enough all the smart employees also have to work similar hours, so now they burn out after a few years as well. All the less smart employees will love it because they feel they have a chance.
That's a pretty strong claim. There's bound to be one Apache project (even a future one) that could utilize that code/knowhow.
Meaning that the final models evolved by playing against each other and they all started by using pro strategies, so, again, to me it seems kind of obvious that they would end up using pro strategies and in the best case just try to make them better
Ask HN: Problems submitting new versions of Android apps today?
Hi. We haven't been able to publish new versions of our Android Zidisha app today. We keep getting a "Your changes could not be saved. Please try again." error and it looks like it is because of the "Sensitive permissions" forms that started appearing today (Our app got cleared for the SMS permission).

Any Googler around that can help us get this solved? We really need to push a new version with some bugs fixed ASAP.

Federal law requires unions to represent all workers in a bargaining unit. States can decide whether unions can recover those costs from all workers they represent or just members. Mandatory membership is illegal.

Both entrenched unions and corporate interests support the status quo. It strengthens strong unions but makes organizing new unions harder.
The problem is, this is exactly what you would expect from a union that's working.

If the union is successfully scaring the management from pulling any shenanigans on the good workers, then, they have a lot more free time for the borderline cases.

As for moral character: let me introduce you to the average person in management at a large corporation!

Unions may not always do the right thing. And there are lots of cases out there where unions have too much power or abuse that power. And sometimes you have an annoying co-worker who is so zealous about taking cases to the union that they seem to be in an extractive relationship with the company.

But that just means that unions are another human institution. Apparently the nearly-infinite number of cases where management abuses their power doesn't count? Where management is in an extractive relationship with the company?

If you want negotiating power over certain issues, for many kinds of workers or concerns, unions are the only game in town.

As you just said: a billion impressions aren't worth anything if it doesn't affect anything you measure. And that's the whole problem in the ad industry. Are you buying ads to:

- Build your brand/awareness/mailing list?

- Get marketing qualified leads that your sales will handle?

- Get sales for your SaaS without going through sales?

- Something else?

Each of these require different type of tracking - views, clicks, actions. More importantly though, each is subjected to ad fraud. And simple text/image ads won't let you detect the latter to weed it out of your stats.

And the event you're thinking "so? as long as your ROI is positive you're fine" the answer is no, it's not good, because it incites more fraud and the budget might have been better spent on content marketing or other efforts.
Homegrown Oregonian here: it's common knowledge that to maximize profit against the system, a person should work in Vancouver WA where cost of living is low and state income tax doesn't exist, and then shop in Oregon where sales tax doesn't exist.

There is no difference if you limit the use of the tool to not use these features.

In my eyes, it's a philosophical difference between the two, Flow can be more easily integrated into an existing codebase by just adding //@flow at the top the file and has no features which can affect runtime code. Whereas TypeScript tries to be a different language altogether that uses a new file extension, adds new features, and has its own compiler.

When you can implement a tool like this using TS, let me know https://github.com/flowtype/flow-remove-types
AlphaStar interacted with the StarCraft game engine directly via its raw interface, meaning that it could observe the attributes of its own and its opponent’s visible units on the map directly, without having to move the camera - effectively playing with a zoomed out view of the game

Additionally, and subsequent to the matches, we developed a second version of AlphaStar. Like human players, this version of AlphaStar chooses when and where to move the camera, its perception is restricted to on-screen information, and action locations are restricted to its viewable region.

I was really curious whether they would attempt moving the camera like a human. Sounds like it's still a work in progress, but very exciting! Even this isn't enough to make it fully like a human player, as I believe it is still getting numerical values for unit properties rather than having to infer them from the pixels on the screen. But it seems possible to fix that, likely at the cost of drastically increasing the training time.

The benefit of using pixels, of course, would be that the agent would become fully general. It would probably immediately work on Command & Conquer, for instance, while the current version would require deep integration with the game engine first. But I think the training time would be impractically long.
The election of Trump was definitely point scored for populism. It also triggered a full scale immune response that we're still in the throes of. Generally, it seems to be working. His orders are blocked by the courts, his executive branch employees undermine him, his own party wouldn't fund his signature campaign proposal, the special counsel investigation drags on... I mean, it's not called the Resistance for nothing.

You can send a shock through the system at the ballot box, but you cannot divert its course.
Users (our app users) would have created their own templates and used them for sending envelopes.
IMO, this would be an order of magnitude more impactful if each point were illustrated with vivid examples, although I understand that would take more time to write. There's a vast gulf between saying, eg., "take more risks" in the abstract, and doing some specific thing that seems dangerous right now. Past risks that worked out always seem justified in retrospect, so it would be super cool to go into detail on eg. just how crazy SpaceX seemed back in 2002.
Are there any historical examples of this where the company in question was not in charge or [sic] national resources or infrastructure that was paid by a government?.

American Tobacco Company, for one. There are a number of others.

Yeah, like building huge dedicated recycling centers. Those aren't cheap. You used to return the bottle/can to the store, who returned them back to the distribution companies when they were dropping off new orders. Now there are huge areas where they got rid of returning to the place of purchase and you have to return them to these large, brand new, dedicated recycling centers. I have no idea why they do that, or who pays for that. It seemed logical to return them utilizing the existing infrastructure (stores) that were selling the products.

Edit: more info.

One thing about the recycling centers though - you have to have an account, and you have to prove you are an OR resident to use them. I imagine that cuts down on a lot of out of state cans.

It’s like saying that the oil rig polluting my house is not a problem and that I could just move away. For many it isn’t possible (already spent the money or no alternative (see John Deere)).
> This sucks because, in the first few years, flow had much better soundness and typescript had some serious issues

Most of not all of the issues had with types have been solved.

Flow had some major tooling/developer comfort issues from day one and none of those are solved. Not to mention a really closed development roadmap (understandable perhaps, but nonetheless bad).

As a developer, I'm glad TypeScript won. I want more tool/compiler/language/etc makers to understand that the developer experience matters. If someone makes a tool that only works well under one very specific setup and ignores everyone else, that's just very limiting.

OP is saying that they don't understand why any workers would not unionize, not just workers in the video game industry.
Unions can't solve everything, but considering the most prevalent complaints game devs seem to have is getting overworked, underpaid, and fired as soon as a project is done, unions seem like a perfect fit.

At my last corporate job I was very vocal about the benefits that unions would have for software engineers. I still believe that.
Many people in Oregon just give away their cans to the street. I imagine this is true in Washington as well. If a person collects free cans in Washington, where they're worth less, and brings them to Oregon for a higher return, then they would be gaming the system.
Not quite right about the + operator: "You can do the same thing by using double quotes around your search."

No. The + REQUIRED the term to be present on the page. Google idiotically removed this functionality, claiming that it somehow interfered with "Google Plus." Now that Google Plus is discontinued, have they restored the + operator? Of course not.

It's pretty clear at this point that Google sucks at UI, branding, and functional design. Not really sure where they excel.
You can disagree with mandating that a company build their product in a certain way, but I doubt even you are against stuff like:

> legalizing cell phone unlocking in Congress, getting the FTC to rule “warranty void if removed” stickers null and void, and convincing the US Copyright office to grant a number of repair exemptions to federal copyright law.

There are two parts to Right to Repair -- one is getting companies to design products that can be repaired, but even more basic is getting rid of companies' ability to use the law itself to shut down 3rd parties from fixing or modifying things they own.

I don't buy when people say that Right to Repair is just about telling companies what to do. Even if you're staunchly against regulation, there is still plenty of deregulatory work the movement does that you should be able to get behind. You don't have to agree with literally everything the movement says to advocate that it's anti-consumer, crony-capitalism crap that John Deer can use copyright law to ban farmers from fixing their own tractors.
At least as early as the 1940s, some radio & console manufacturers included a full schematic of the circuitry inside the case/furniture. They didn't try to hog the whole market.

I've got to ask, when have you _EVER_ said this and had it actually result in what you wanted?

I worked in call centers for years and we laughed at people like you for a whole multitude of reasons.

The main reason being once you say this I'm no longer obligated to help you. Since you've decided to make this a legal situation instead of a customer service one you'll now need to talk to our team of lawyers that are on retainer. Anytime you call or email you'll get auto routed to our legal department forever who will go out of their way to not help you.

The reality is that people make legal threats dont actually follow through because they aren't people that understand the law or how it works, if they did they'd be taking actual legal action against us, not making idle threats to people making $19 dollars an hour.

apparently, cell phone towers use triangulation to determine the location of a handset and decide if it is reasonable for the phone to be where it is based on last location and rate of travel. An example - handset apears to have moved at 800 miles per hour, suggests a spoof or clone is in operation.
if a handset can do the converse, and determine that a tower is so close that it magically appeared out of thin air, or appears to be moving then the handset should not connect to the "tower" [AKA stingray] as it is probably a spoof handshake attempt.

Using identity politics to divide the working class is a well practiced maneuver.

It's why a lot of leftists decry identity politics while still recognizing intersectionality and fighting for the rights of various groups.
The games it won, it had an access to inputs human players physically can't do (controlling units off-screen without panning the camera first), so I'm hesitant to call the victories legitimate.

Edit: And reviewing the game it lost, the decision making was questionable at best.
I didn't catch if they mentioned this in the interview, but what would have happened if they let AlphaStar play against other races, not Protoss only, would it be completely lost, unable to achieve anything?
Totally correct! But this doesn't have to do with whether these are positive or negative rights. It just highlights the fact that some negative rights are more easily understood and applied than others.

> they seem very eager to join the union

The actors/aspiring actors I know are only eager to join the union because a) it gets them access to union-exclusive jobs (not a benefit that would exist if the union didn't exist) and b) it gets them access to better negotiated health insurance, which can be difficult with intermittent employment (which is the case for most people in the theater world, well-paid or not). B probably shouldn't be an issue for a thriving developed country, but we all know how that argument goes.
There's a bigger reason why there's unlikely to be much spillover from CA: geography. The CA/OR border is in the middle of the Siskiyou Mountains. There are few major cities near the border -- the closest pair are Yreka, CA and Ashland, OR, and they're 40-50 miles apart.

I am DocuSign’s Lead Developer Evangelist.
Thanks to Joseph (OP) for writing this up and to everyone who has contributed to this thread including both the positive and negative comments about integrating with DocuSign.

The problem OP ran into is really one of documentation and not a bug or security issue.

I agree that our docs for the embedded sender view should clearly state that the method’s URL gives full access to the sender’s account, and we’ll fix that ASAP. As others have commented, the assumption of this API method is that each sender has their own account. I also agree that the OP’s use case, which requires that the sender view’s capabilities be strictly limited to the current envelope, is valid. It is under consideration for our roadmap.

A workaround: I recommend that API applications complete the sending process programmatically including document tagging, etc. This also provides the best user experience for the sender.

We actively monitor and reply to the “docusignapi” tag on StackOverflow (I’m “Larry K”), if you want to reach out to us there.
yeah I was disappointed to discover it worked this way.

None of the people complaining are the developers (the developers like Java). They're all (enterprise) end users. The "modern" solution is something where the customers don't know it's Java, don't have to hear the words "tomcat" and don't bring to mind all the baggage associated with those names.

There's nothing wrong with Perl or PHP either, but plenty of end users have seriously negative associations with the technology and will blame every fault on the technology because it's had a rough history. All of those languages/ecosystems scream "dotcom" to enterprise users and they don't want to hear that they're paying $1.5m for a system that's built in what they consider to be legacy languages.
No, the main reason I know about is that advanced operators are more resource intensive than regular queries. Not blocking these would affect search for everybody else.

That, of course, also tends to take care of spammers, malware as you described and just plain buggy bots. Those can be tackled with additional measures, but first and foremost Google cares about search latency. (And quality: higher latency reduces quality, too.)
Has somebody bothered to estimate the cost of this whole process in terms of overall energy expenditure and waste of irreplacable human lifetime?
