Contributory IRA and regular 401K are basically the same thing: deferred taxes, required distributions.

Roth IRA is different: no required distributions, no tax. (or a least they promise no taxes).

You might want a Roth IRA because of ...

#1 Higher tax rates in future.

#2 You're not going to spend all your money, Roth IRA can provide tax free distributions for your heirs over their lifetimes. An inherited contributory IRA or regular 401K is taxed at distrubtion and distribution is accelerated (up to 5 years).

"Article 51. Non-infringement of rights

Citizens of the People's Republic of China, in exercising their freedoms and rights, may not infringe upon the interests of the state, of society or of the collective, or upon the lawful freedoms and rights of other citizens."

So technically those rights may only be exercised when they don't "infringe upon the interests of the state".
I agree. If I hit ‘Ctrl-H’ my lovely, clean Nautilus File Manager becomes a heinous, ugly clutter which is impossible to navigate. I’ve tried to delete some or move others to no avail. Please follow this standard. It’s clean, organized, and beautiful. Once done, we can then tackle the next problem (I’m looking at you & Snaps Shuttleworth!).
It's all around. The math portion just doesn't get as much hype.

For example, Goodfellow and Bengio's book on Deep Learning talks a lot about connections to Bayesian Inference, Classical Statistics, Information Theory, and a bit about Topology.

Christopher Oolah's blog gives plenty of great explanations of mathematical topics.

Personally, I use Math in my work all the time. Thinking in terms of Information Theory has let me quantify and compare algorithms that seemed difficult to evaluate at first. And several times, I've seen a business make the wrong decision due to lack of Math/Stats background.

I don't mean to be a Math snob – you can absolutely do a lot of valuable work treating algorithms as black boxes. But the Math is there, and it is being used.
>the company had them install a chip

Yeah no.

As the other posts said below, AT&T has had a history of pushing minor changes in early technology as a new generation of that technology. The most recent is their 5Ge nonsense.

Back in the early 2010's they pushed an update to iOS to change HSPA+ 3G to display as 4G. It's not, but the behavior carried over to other carriers. T-Mobile was closest to being able to argue it as 4G as they deployed DC-HSPA+ which could provide 42mbit in ideal conditions.

It's possible that there was something lost in translation between the installer and you that there was a radio component upgrade on the antenna that allowed HSPA+ to be used over the older UMTS and HSPA. Now most towers have the radios and antennas integrated as one component, but on weak towers and older installs the radios and the antennas were separate.

I know a bit more about T-Mobile USA, and one of the things they did a few years back to bring up 2G-only regions was get better backhaul in then plug LTE radios into the 2G antennas, making the sites broadcast 2G and LTE on band 2, 1900mhz. Later on they would add band 12 LTE by hooking in an antenna that could be tuned for 700mhz.

The author of the article says:

"If there were someone who knew how to learn new languages, we would all know it. They would be uniquely and unquestionably skilled at producing new language speakers. They would be very visible: everybody would be flocking to their doors and imitating them."

He seems to be confusing "learn" with "teach". All of the above would be true if he said "if there were someone who knew how to teach new languages...".

Lots of people know how to learn, but no one wants to hear about it, because the answer is: work really hard.

> Is there really no situation in which an alternative implementation that only supports "pure Python" would be useful?

This really depends on your definition of 'being useful'. Jython is useful in a sense, it is being used in many Big Data solutions as a way to embed Python as DSL/UDF, like Pig/Hive, etc.

However, if without support for C extensions, it is not really a Python implementation, in a sense, I can't run a python script I just gripped from internet using the so-called 'alternative' implementation. So if the point of being useful is to be a replacement, then sadly, the answer is no, it is an everything-or-nothing situation.
But gnu make can be built for freebsd without already having other gnu stuff (or itself), right?

If so, is it really unreasonable for another gnu project to expect you to get gmake first and use that in order to compile the project?

It's the same problem. Google can say we have a content ID system to handle copyright violations. See how good it is?

Behind the smoke and mirrors they can make money on pirated material.

All the while throwing their hands up in the air. When all they have to do is hire a human being to evaluate the facts. People know what copyright violations are. Pay people to make the call.

It's as simple as that. Hire people to do the job and it will be done. Computers don't do it right.
Commercial work will always pay better than academia. Roles like trader/quant where your value is measurable & portable will always pay better than being a drone in a big machine like Google. If anything, front office finance roles aren't underpaid: people with similar skill sets are underpaid elsewhere.

I don't work in trading anymore, so I'm not talking my book here. Trading is zero-sum at a transactional level, but has knock on benefits beyond profit and loss:

-Making it easy for companies to raise capital through IPOs or offerings (without a robust secondary market for securities, people will be less likely to invest)

-In commodities: Letting businesses bear the risks they want and insure against the ones that aren't their core business

-Liquid markets let real people trade in and out of investments without friction at fair prices

-Providing accurate price signals to other businesses and the broader economy

So I don't think I was saving the whales, but I don't think it was wasteful, either.

Also, as a mildly clever OCD math guy who's semi-good at writing fast C++ code, I don't think I would have been curing cancer anyway.

ETA: At least in the case of HFT, if you accept that markets need intermediaries of some sort, it seems more efficient to have a few dozen tech/math guys do the same job thousands of guys in mesh vests were doing years ago, and cheaper.

Maybe you care about it a good amount but don't believe in consumer climate control? If you eat local grass fed meat and don't support destructive factory farming as well as support and push for vat grown meat, you end up decoupling these things. It's important to note that carnivores have existed for many, many years, and that it's also possible to construct clean, sustainable factories but we just choose not to, likely due to a lack of regulatory coordination, interest and pressure.

I think it's important to separate the utilitarian argument from the moralistic argument here. Climate change is in large part accreted by large corporations, and the manner that they interact with corporate social responsibility and regulation is largely what has the potential to change things. Beyond that, it's hard (though not impossible) to get the same macronutrient profile without meat consumption. And beyond pure nutrition, many gastronomic entities are simply out of reach. I think you have to really think about what the purpose is of food (lots of sides to that) and not work backwards from the premise that meat consumption is intrinsically a poor choice.

Vat grown meat technology is progressing at a pretty impressing clip from what I've seen. I think that's probably the technological change that will make this a lack of an issue.

That could maybe be possible in a massive company with terrible HR and with loads of people applying for the same position. (do you want to work there?) Anyone else is not going to rely entirely on a random parsing solution.

I think using this would be a pain in the ass in Windows, becayse the start button and the start menu is at the bottom-left corner... And you’ll probably strain your neck easily. Thinking about it, no one really thought about a desktop environment optimized for ultrawide displays, which makes me hesitant to buy one of these (apart from the problem that it takes up too much desk space)
Never attribute to malice that which can be explained by incompetence. A small-ish exchange, run by a small number of developer-employees, with limited computing assets. I can easily see someone making the argument that moving cold wallets to an encrypted, offline company machine would (1) free up resources that could be used elsewhere and (2) would make a less obvious target for hackers. Follow that up with no backups -- because let's face it, most individuals and probably a lot of small businesses have no backups -- and voila: you get a bus factor of 1.
AT&T (with HSUPA) spearheaded that, T-Mobile followed but was better able to actually argue it as their HSPA+ implementation was faster due to use of DC-HSPA+ (42mbits).

ITU relaxed their definition of 4G to allow for "significant upgrades to 3G technology", so blame them for everyone jumping on the bandwagon: https://fcw.com/blogs/mobileplatform/2011/03/att-hspa-4g-pro...

YouTube's "safe harbour" takedown system is a bit stricter than what the law requires - it doesn't require an actual DMCA takedown (which, when falsifies, results in a fine of $800), but simply using YouTube's internal system (which has no such falsity fine).
Pinterest is a completely parasitic website that doesn't provide backlinks to content, and hides results from google search. No attribution and no original content.

Perhaps a less drastic version is that the police have to register all of the evidence at their disposal, for review by the court, before any pleading can occur. This prevents the police from using plea bargaining to hide a lack of evidence.

I'm all for more tools for users to limit resource abuse, but I don't see it changing a thing. The precedents are already set.

If the user doesn't give the developer what he/she wants, the developer will:

- block them until the user allows however much resource abuse the developer desires (ad-block blocking scripts), or nag them to change their settings

- try to evade the blocking using any and every unblocked mechanism (ads via websockets to get around request filters, etc.)

- do absolutely nothing and let the site stay broken

The problem isn't that there are resources to abuse. The problem is the significant motivation to abuse them.

You think "wage" and "capitalist" are boo words? Really?
It’s an exciting time because the field is getting to the point where ‘complexity is unbounded’

I.e. in many materials or chemistry fields where you start operating with over 100 variables, you begin to develop a dark arts of understanding because what is being attempted is beyond the ability of computers to model.

You can do chemistry without a PhD, but your ability to systematically try to address the complexity may be hindered without the training. Likewise with ‘ML experts’ (I hope they get a cool word some day to describe their profession).
Still those are different services (I was talking about the service becoming irrelevant, not the company). And they probably bought Braintree to make e-commerce companies use Paypal (Braintree is pushing everybody to integrate Paypal into their payment methods).
Perhaps that's coming from the preparation of the milk and not the milk itself? I personally really dislike any kind of a sweet milk and sweet flavors in general, so I've learned to appreciate the different flavors for what they are. Expanding your palate is not a given (at least not for me), it's sometimes a thing you've got to actively put effort into, and it's also something that changes as you get older.
> You can have serialized access to the same data structure that still have data race

How?

> as long as each Python process doesn't keep its local copies for those shared data structures, like free lists, no explicit locking is required if GIL is presented.

I have no idea what you're talking about. Different Python processes each have their own GIL, and they don't share data at all (except by explicit mechanisms like communicating through sockets or pipes). Different Python threads share the GIL for their interpreter process, and if each thread doesn't keep its own local copy of data, there is explicit locking required if you don't want data races.

Ask HN: Co-founders are screwing me. What can I do?
(throwaway to keep anonymous)

I'm co-founder and minority share holder of a small company. No investors. Company is not doing so great in last few years. Bad product decisions. Feature bloat. Bad sales. and so on. Customers are leaving and business is going down. Some customers will probably stay long, so there is still money.

My role is quite critical. But I kinda automated my job and my stuff is working really well. So even if I leave, things will stay ok for a some time. And also bringing someone to take over would probably be ok.

Our agreement basically to get same salary. But now they cut my salary big time. And theirs not.

I can sue and probably win. But by the time I win (takes long), maybe there would be no money to win.

Technically I can probably do something to pressure, but it might be not legal (and not moral).

What to do ? or not do ? Sorry for bad language. Not a native.
Anecdotally, I was able to make calls from the summit of Mt. Whitney as well as at Forester Pass. I'm impressed that my cell phone could send a signal for miles.
> Are you aware that dates does not get influenced by timezones, right?

Yeah, but the situation is worse than that. Weeks boundaries are influenced by a locale. What is the first day of the week? Sunday? Monday? I know that in russia a week starts with a monday. I know also that in en locales it is not the case, I was never able to understand english calendars, so the very first thing I do is fixing locale to see a "proper" calendar which I can understand.

Notice that there are no hints where is sunday and where is monday, you make a decision what is what based on data layout in a two-dimensional grid. For example, I read the screenshot in the tweet as Feb 2 is a Friday, not Thursday.

This leads me to a hypothesis what happened with AirAsia. They messed up locale dependant calculation of a week boundary. Like they added 1 instead of subtracting it, or maybe they applied the locale dependant shift of a week bondary twice, or made some other software bug like that.
> There are limits on how much leverage you are legally allowed to use

No, there aren’t. Reg T limits initial leverage for retail investors in equity securities to 2:1 and FINRA rules maintainence leverage to 4:1 [1]. There are no similar broad-market rules for institutions. (Retail investors, likewise, can leverage much more for FX and—more commonly—real estate.)

RenTech doesn't publish much so I'm merely conjecturing based on their volumes and other information that's in legal filings. There are a lot of ways to provide liquidity and fair pricing over diverse time horizons. It doesn't really matter how they do it. If your bets are independent and you have a statistically significant edge, you are basically guaranteed to make money with proper bankroll management.

From what Virtu's published, they make two-way markets, and once filled they scalp a tick, arbitrage in another product, or cross if the market becomes weak. Maybe RenTech does something like buy underpriced oil producers whose prices haven't moved up after bellwether stocks in the industry like XOM and CVX have, then sell once the spread between them converges. I'm sure both firms have loads of different tactics. The key thing is that they're mildly better than chance.
i think you're alluding to an interesting question: in what cases does this "undecidability of learnability" result apply?

the paper seems to talk about binary classifiers `h : X --> {0, 1}`, where each classifier h belongs to some family `F` of functions subseteq `{h : X --> {0, 1}}`, and where observed samples are drawn from some unknown distribution P over X.

so, it probably depends upon the choice of `X` and `F`, but i dont have enough of a handle on the theory to understand this.

Veritas Genetics offered 30x coverage full genome sequencing in the lead up to Xmas for $199 to the first 1000 customers.

I'm assuming you're talking about Roth versus non-Roth. Mathematically, you're right, they are equivalent if your tax brackets don't change. It's pretty obvious once you get the correct formulas.

The are reasons to prefer Roth: higher contribution limits -- paying the tax liability up front lets you save more for later. You can also pull out contributions to the IRA tax + penalty free, and pull out earnings for limited purposes (medical, downpayment on a first home). And you're not required to withdraw which can save you down the line.

Itanium represents a classic case of jumping architectures and committing too soon. Any mature system represents not just the sum of a huge amount of design work but also an untold number of hours (years really) of beta testing, bug fixing, and iterative refinement. A new system may be built on a better foundation but more often than not in its immature state it will still have shortcomings until it's been through a long period of "burn-in" and bug fixing.

You can’t invest in a Roth account if you earn more than a fairly low level. You can, however, convert IRA assets into Roth assets at any income level provided you pay the tax on conversion.

Not sure I agree with this. Beyond a certain level, subscriptions to a given creator are to that creator, not via the platform. It's true that a lot of consumers won't take the effort to follow the brand off platform, but that's not always the case. I think the recent development of the influencer marketing industry as a whole is proof of this.

Of course, how you ever get remotely famous or established in the first place if the content you create is remotely vulnerable to false copyright claims is another question entirely...
