Agreed with your experiences. Identified my niche a long time ago in HPC and scientific development enterprise and core internet services (DNS, IP routing) + security (even though snake oil is big in sec now). The type of incompetence you describe doesn't flourish in these domains.

Calling SV programmers, or even just HN, "super conservative" betrays a hugely simple-minded view of the political spectrum with no relation to reality. Politics is a lot more complex than a single 1D liberal/conservative metric, and even if you were to force it into this model, calling SV "super conservative" is an utter joke.
It's devoid of substance because it's a sarcastic and condescending quip about whether or not my comments qualify me as a prosecutor in your view. That's not the topic at hand and it's pretty obviously a low quality response meant to insult rather than address what I wrote.

Anyway, I'll defer to your credentials as an experienced prosecutor, but it seems pretty reasonable to me that painting an individual as an imminent danger and directing a paramilitary kill squad to their location (resulting in their subsequent execution) is an intentional murder. Obviously, the courts will tease out all the pertinent details but I don't see any details that preclude that possibility.
Can you ELI5 what 'control the probability distribution in the latent space' means?
Deliveroo orders generally get rushed out from my experience sitting in restaurants waiting for my sit-down meal to be served.

"To me this ruins the meal"

shrug, I'm not sure what you're expecting anybody to say. I can't really change your mind on what is hypothetical situation for you. I've ordered plenty, it's generally no worse than the quality I would get in the restaurant (other than the presentation in a bespoke takeaway box not a plate).

Also, what kind of presentation are you expecting for a burger anyway? It's a burger, with some artfully surrounding chips? Ordered to go, it's a burger, with the chips in smaller box instead of surrounding the burger.
Does anyone know if an OR store can tack on a bottle deposit fee for selling a bottle that's only marked CA CRV?

I also tried to recycle it at the store's recycling machine and it says it's not accepted. Recently found this out but haven't looked into it yet.
A tech union seems inevitable at this point. It seems like there has been some false starts, but there is a "market need" that is being unmet. Silicon Valley has shown it's very good at meeting unfulfilled market needs.
^ This! Very similar experience here! Moved to Python from Matlab and never looked back.
Yup. I know a lot of smart people who are good at everything starting to enter CS a few years ago at elite institutions like Harvard and MIT.

In all honesty, I much prefer them to the "I want to code videogames" crowd that made up a big chunk of my undergrad class.
I'm curious as to how HelloSign guards against this. Do they have some sort of session token that sends you back to the signing page on refresh? (i.e. similar to guard to avoid submitting shopping cart purchases twice).

> That cost too is highly inflated. My wife has a crazy bad eyes/strong prescription and she was able to get glasses including frames for under $70 from Zenni.

It's a combination of prescription and comfort: I have a strong prescription, thinned lenses, and because I'm pretty sensitive to light (clear eyes) photochromic and AR. Possibly a few other bits I don't remember.

I'm not saying there's no inflation, but going on zenni with my old prescription (and trying to roughly match the options / add-ons) still yields lenses around $200, and I got my current glasses almost 5 years ago.
It won't, as long as people prefer free services with questionable privacy policies over paying for a service.
Reading the book right now. What's concerning to me is that we are currently seeing the dissolving of myths across the board, whether it be religion, faith in public institutions, or facades that we kept before social media existed. Is the breakdown of social cohesion a consequence? Letting go of myths seems like an inherent good, but can we survive it?
This seems like a loophole in the design of the law. I don't see why a health-tracking app (or more generally, any service that I entrust with my data) shouldn't be a Covered Entity.

Go to reddit, go to any other forum, go to anywhere on the internet where people discuss other websites, and you will find the same sentiment regarding buzzfeed. Buzzfeed even gets poked fun of in Bojack Horseman, although not by direct name. For a while it was like a meme how low effort their listacles were, and it will probably take a new name to divorce that image from the branding.
Fairness depends on the ratio of employee employer monopoly power. There may be enough tech companies to form a union, but that just means employees need to be more consolidated to match. Your "fully unionized bargaining" case is just one point in the blanced subspace. A many-to-many relationship where the employers per employee matched the employees per employer (along with other hierarchical symmetries) would be an (outlandish) other such point.
Pretty bad pronoun use in the headline.
> I wouldn’t be surprised if there is some spillover from Washington or California

Probably not systematically from CA, which also has a bottle deposit (though there may be some arbitrage opportunity since the CRV is, IIRC, 5¢ for some containers that have a 10¢ deposit on Oregon.)
"George Shultz really comes off as a moron in all of this."

This is a good lesson for how big decisions in politics and business are made. Leaders are very prone to being conned by charismatic people and often don't check the facts.
Some are out of date, I think. I used the "define:" one so often that it became muscle memory for me. I was saddened when it stopped working a couple months ago. It'll still sometimes give you the word definition card, but I think only when just typing the word would give you the same card. I switched to typing "$word dictionary" instead, as I found it to trigger the definition card in almost every case where "define:$word" no longer would.

It's because the HIPAA law specifically defines the kinds of entities that are subject to the law, and tracking of user-input health data falls outside that definition.
I don't agree that a period of mass migration is on the horizon at all. There are serious material roadblocks to any such thing. You can't just point to a historical wave and ignore material factors. There's no indications that high rent, barriers to easily finding jobs and so-forth are going to go away any time soon.
To be fair, plenty of first world children can be perfectly competent secure savages with self-centered complexes and self-gratification perpetuated by their parents and family wealth.

Kids really don't learn empathy innately. It has to be taught, and its not something to just lecture, it needs to be learned through experience.
I was responding to parent on why programmers are reluctant about the idea of unions. I used a rather silly example on programming languages. To bring it back to the issues discussed in the story. I would certainly agree with holding management to task in the manner they handled the sexual abuse. I am not so sure I agree with all the diversity talk (I speak as a black man, I have to put that in) and as someone who lives in a city where gangs literally own parts of the town, I don't see anything wrong in empowering law enforcement/army with high tech weapons. They are bad motherfuckers out in the world and we need some good badass motherfuckers otherwise we as the world would be in trouble. In a roundabout way, I guess I am trying to say where do you draw the line on which positions the union should take. It would become another system where whoever is elected gets to decide what position we as the workers should take.
There isn’t a big enough audience that will pay periodic subscription fees for written content unless it’s niche and/or really great.

With this move, Condé Nast is about to find out which of its properties are commodity content that usually find few takers who’d pay to go behind paywalls. It may then be forced to return to the ad supported model without a paywall unless it creates an innovative and usable solution for micropayments to allow people to pay (others have tried and some are still trying, but I haven’t seen a large enough success story).

I wonder what Apple is going to announce (rumored to be in a couple of months) on the lines of an “all you can read” magazine and related content offering based on its acquisition of Texture, and how Condé Nast’s properties will figure in this offering.
Up to a point. Successful cooperation seems to be through family ties or common upbringing, such as the vikings or spartans.
No, it shouldn't, actually.
But it seems you will.
Are there somewhere accessible documents where Facebook is allegedly in favor of upload filters, or that they actually lobbied for it? Because only what I see in the article (and some linked articles) is that Facebook admitted that they use some of upload filters (which is not lobbying), or that they prefer cooperation over legislation (which is definitely not lobbying). I probably missed something...
His message is that you should not eat oils because their nutritional value has been decreased in the process. He does not meditate about the different fat acids and their functions. In my opinion, he is missing out that there are nuts and oils that are quite similar in their fat composition. Of course, nuts have proteins and carbohydrates (mostly sugar) as well. But what he forgets is that you won't eat olive oil alone - you'll most likely have it with a good amount of greens, tomatoes or whatever.

Just have a look at the study he mentions when he's talking about the impairment of artery functions after eating olive oil: https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/pdf/10.1002/clc.49602214...

Quote: "This impairment, however, was also totally eliminated when vitamins C and E were given. As with antioxidant vitamin supplementation, olive oil, eaten with vinegar on a salad, did not impair endothelial function. Some societies that use the Mediterranean diet may have learned to provide the natural antioxidants which buffer the oxidative stress of these fatty meals."

He totally eliminated this aspect so he can ban the oils. Another discussion here on HN blamed him for cherrypicking studies. I'm not sure if that's wrong. He has some good advice in general but for this aspect, I don't really trust him.
This has been a thing for a long time. Back around 2003-2004 people at UTexas used a site called classgrabber.

> That hasn't happened yet to developers.

I know a fair number of developers who aren't doing that great, or at least not as well as they should. Life quality issues are very common. It is for instance very common to get screwed on salary, pension or vacation at some point of your career, be let go because a project was mismanaged, having a dysfunctional work environment or any number of issues were developers draw the last straw.

Edit: To add to this. I think people don't understand the "failure mode" of being unorganized. It isn't that it is going to be bad all the time. It is that since you don't have a voice other people don't have to consider you. Which means that the likelihood that you will be negatively affected by both small and large decisions of other people increases over time. And that isn't necessarily something you can correct after the fact. Getting unduly interrupted in your career, working in a bad environment or not getting credit is something seemingly small can really affect your life long term. And at least many people I know have these types of stories.
I specifically said to give them a variety of activities. Letting them play fortnite everyday doesn't qualify as a variety of activities.

And I never said to not push a kid. If that's what you think will help him, then do it.

If a kid has a bad habit of quitting things when they get tough, then you may need to "force" them to do something.

And part of having them try a variety of activities will mean forcing them to do it.

You can make them do a variety of things while also letting them have unstructured free time.

I think too, when I say unstructured free time, I mean outside play time with no screens.

I guess you could say that a parent is "forcing" them to not use a screen, so it's not really "free play time", but I think making kids go outside and play without giving them any directions on what to do, is a very good thing.
>The problem is that on page refresh, that constraint is lost

Why can't you put this constraint in a session and pass it back in on refresh?
En masse, no. This is well established.

People tend to act compassionately in the face of acute events. Most of the work of government isn't that sexy. You may think that staffing fair procurement is an expensive waste of time, until you compassionately allocate a billion dollars to some disaster and discover that half of it was pilfered.
> But without access to non-predatory loans (such as payday lending, pawn shops, mafia loans or CCs >5% APR) the person can never realize the saving.

And that predator lending has now made the next purchase decision even more difficult than the last.
It depends on how "unauthorized" is defined. Does it actually define "unauthorized" somewhere else in the statute?
In Los Angeles, most people put them into a separate bag in their recycling bins. Then the homeless and scavengers come by and just take a single bag out of the bin without causing too much other trouble. They will occasionally dump a bin to get something at the bottom, but it's pretty rare in my experience.
"Programmers, maybe ones on HN especially, are super conservative"

I think spots on a left-right political spectrum is a sloppy way to represent people. There have got to be over 100 valid 'axes' to position a person on, 'projecting' everybody onto a single line forces people to 'sit next to' positions they do not appreciate.
Congratulations to the Citus Data team! I don't have anything significant to add, but I loved the free socks you gave out :)
> I have in the past commented on the fact that insurance typically did not cover female birth control, but often did cover Viagra.

Total opposite in Canada across public and private plans.

Never saw a private or public plan refuse to cover BC. Many would pay several hundred for an IUD as well. Rarely saw a plan cover ED drugs outside of self-insured or executive plans.
I agree this is evidence. We know at least Deliveroo don't deal with fraud promptly or take it particularly seriously and thats bad enough even if they do eventually get around to it.
That's a really fascinating idea. I love the concept, I'm sure there are downsides/externalities but overall I'd love someone to try it to learn more.
That's cheating though: "Hey, I already know your idea doesn't work, so obviously I don't endorse it."

The problem is what to do when you personally don't know the viability of your own idea and have to take advice while not having access to the same knowledge. If you stripped off the specifics, in every other context, HNers would by-and-large repeat the tropes about "oh yeah, you feel like you don't know what you're doing, but so does everyone else! It doesn't matter!"

Obviously, you can come after the fact and say "See, now that the idea failed and I expressed skepticism before, I obviously don't mean the fake-it-till-you-make-it crap for that startup, just the good ones." That's not impressive.

What matters is whether you know whether self-confidence is justified being the person in that situation.
Maybe Braid and The Witness could have been written in Unity, but it's not at all clear that it would have saved any time, or that it would have resulted in something as good.

There are a lot of issues I've seen devs run into with using Unity, sometimes much earlier on than you'd expect. Unity was designed to be a generic engine, which means it won't be ideal for every use case.
Such an important book (and movie.) In my other comment I discussed a class I was lucky enough to take in highschool where explored media bias. But, I bring it up again because I think it's so important that every single person understand that "media bias" isn't necessarily a bad or good thing, it's just reality. However, it is necessarily bad when collectively we do not recognize it. Everyone should go through a civics class at least once where learning about the reality of the media landscape, bias, and motivations are key topics along with lessons on how to responsibly engage.

Same reason why Microsoft wants libraries for languages like Ruby to talk to SQL Server (at the cost of ASP.net adoption - I had the pleasure of speaking to that team at RubyConf one year) or to run SQL Server on Linux (at the cost of Windows licenses). Expanding their breadth benefits the company overall, and they know there will be some who never run SQL Server or Windows, yet 2019 Microsoft wants to have solutions for those folks.
correct, the flow of information is:

corpus -- word2vecOrGloVe--> word embeddings v_w in R^n

word embedding --sparsecoding--> sense embeddings v_s in same R^n

the sparse coding process gives the constants A_ws and senses where subscript w is a word index and s is a sense index, so that:

word vectors v_w = sum(A_ws v_s, s)

and for each word w most A_ws are zero except for a few s values

1) polysemy: a word w can have multiple senses, namely those sense vectors with index s where A_ws is nonzero

2) synonyms: a sense s can have multiple synonyms w, again those w where A_ws is nonzero

so the result of sparse coding gives for each word, a couple of indexes of the sense vectors, and for each sense the corresponding indexes of word vectors... and of course the sense vectors themselves.

so that to find say a synonym of "leaves", you just look at the sense indexes corresponding to that string, then you look at the different words indexes for that sense, and they will refer to the words "foliage" but also "leaves" of course and possibly others...

I also believe that once you have the sense vectors, in theory a second pass through the corpus should improve results if the context of each focus word is used to determine the closest sense vector compatible with the focus word... so that in effect word2vec or Glove extraction is run on the senses instead of the words

for the sparse coding they used SMALLbox, and I am still trying to better grasp how exactly the sparse coding works, and what prevents the A_ws and v_s to reduce to the trivial solution v_s = v_w and A_ww = 1 and A_wx = 0 for x differing from w...

Yup. Parents think that they are helping their kid by doing everything for them, but really ,they are hurting them.

It should be a gradual process of teaching a kid how to be independent and have independent skills from the time they are toddlers.

Kids really appreciate being taught patiently how to do a life skill.

And if they don't want to learn how to do laundry, you make them learn.

Netflix is hosting Joseph Campbell and 'The Power of Myth' with Bill Moyers which wonderfully details how this idea of shared fiction works. [0] It's amazing how deep it permeates our culture including how Disney adopted Campbell's ideas as not only a vehicle for story telling but also as a matter of social responsibility creating a unified view among all the billions of Earth's human inhabitants.[1] You and I have a shared fiction that is also the same as a person buying a bootleg copy of Star Wars or Frozen on the street corner in Moscow, Beijing, Mexico City, or New Delhi.

Waking up at 5am is insane from my perspective, and it would literally make me less productive in practically every measure. I get far more creative and thoughtful late at night.

Which makes it quite convenient for them to “return” bottles gathered from other people who shop near where the returner loves in WA to Oregon for the deposit.
