I am confused. I expected an editor but the link goes to a promising looking OS? Can anyone recommend a good editor for this Emacs OS? Maybe someone has ported ViM?
In theory grease monkey, user scripts, custom css or even an ad blocker could be used to do that.

Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/
Positions: Full-Stack Engineer, Data Scientists, R&D Product Formulator / Scientist

Overview: Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling human sensory perception of flavor, aroma, and texture to predict consumer preferences of food & beverage products. We help food and beverage companies develop new products, enter new markets, and optimize their existing brands. We're a diverse 12 person post Series-A startup.

Application & Data Stack: Javascript, React & React Native, Java, GraphQL, Spark, R, postgres/MySQL, AWS

The Position(s)

_Data Science_: We didn't build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. Our Data Science team develops new models and algorithms from scratch to make second-order inference on sparse data sets from non-representative samples that generalizes to the underlying target population. We rely on cutting edge models such as persistent homology, PU Learning, and metric learning to make predictions on non-eucldian human sensory data. We don't use tensor flow or pandas or keras as they are not a good fit for our problem space. We prefer a deep understanding of math and stats VS experience running logistic regressions in Python. (but we're cool with Python / Logit / experience)

_Engineering_: (1) full stack engineers with experience with React, GraphQL, and React Native to work on our web app for clients and our mobile app for tasters. (2) Data-Engineers with experiance in micro-batch processing for machine learning pipelines.

Next Steps: please contact Jason Cohen at JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.

I think about this sort of thing a lot.

Imagine you stumbled upon a band that produced music objectively just as good as The Beatles. But they're just a pack of rich trust-fund kids, and nobody has ever heard of them. Is their music really as good as The Beatles, then? How much of The Beatles' greatness is due to the raw music, and how much is due to their story and canonicity?
What is the point of these opinion pieces? Why should we care about what someone at New York Times says over any other person? These kind of articles must be made simply to drive traffic and stimulate rage. It will be interpreted as just another coastal elite telling Americans they should aspire to live and die in a cold steel and concrete box partitioned out in a shared building with neighbors on all sides pestering them and a condo HOA breathing down their backs. I guess it worked.

I'm more up on the UK system than the US but how it kind of works here is technically the liability is the price at the time of the transaction but they don't mind you estimating or using approximate prices if it doesn't have a large effect on the tax liability.

Does the Fed really set interest rates or do the credit card companies and bond markets? The Fed funds rate is 2.5%, the average credit card rate is 15.6%, the average mortgage rate is 4.67% which historically is quite anemic.

Does the FED really control the economy? The money supply per the FRED graph at the Saint Louis FED is nearly double what it was in 2009 yet spending is down.

I'm remembering how weird of a place (Boston) I'm living in.

> This is the New American Home
for 2018. It’s a sprawling monstrosity
of more than 10,690 feet (the lot
encompasses 65,340 square feet).

Even properties that Red Sox players are living in west of the city are rarely over 6,000sq/ft. When I see a listing for a home over 3,000sq/ft here it's a rarity.

~1200-2400 sq/ft homes are pretty average in the Boston/Cambridge area. Many condos are more in the 800-1600 sq/ft range, and it's also not uncommon to find 1200sq/ft houses.

I guess that being said, almost everything here is 100 years old. I'm personally against a condo for myself because I'm just too damn loud (drums and guitar), and I'm sure to piss off most neighbors with that. If it wasn't for that hobby, I'd be totally happy with a condo.

I just checked, and there is one property for sale in Boston-proper (which includes JP and Dorchester) over 9,000 sq/ft for sale right now, and it's a 15k sq/ft estate for nearly 4mm.

> BTW, I think all autoML solutions forget about end users. They all require too much engineering knowledge from the user. I think it will be nice to have an autoML solution that can be used by citizen data scientist.

This is the approach of a project I am currently working on. (and am now explicitly making clear in the README!)
For me I've found logic, pragmatism and the seeking for and analysis of any facts or data I can find has cured some mental problems for me*

All of these gadgets provide utility, but with a cost, in money, time, having to remember to charge it, the weight of carrying it around, the space it takes up in your house, the mental resources it uses having to learn how to use it and think about it etc.

Its like, in the 90's I could have had a PDA, personal digital assistant, it has so much functionality, calendar, clock, track your appointments etc. But its another thing u need to carry, you need to periodically buy batteries for it, you also have to enter the your appointments into it. A small notebook and pencil was just a better overall solution when you do a cost/benefit analysis of it holistically.

I think you could easily rate your existing stuff, eg. (If its not a tool) and you havent used it in the last month then its basically useless and you can get rid of it.
Also for prospective stuff, you could ask, will this save me time? Will it save as much time as I spent working in order to earn the money to buy it?

*my example is anxiety, I would be anxious that I'm having a heart attack or a stroke or something is medically wrong with me.
So I looked up the actual symptoms of those things, which are like fainting, nausea, dizzyness, blurred vision etc. If I ever felt anxious I would go through the list and determine if I actually was really experiencing any of those symptoms. The answer was inevitably no, 'feeling a bit weird' was not one of the symptoms. This helped each time, and after a while I stopped feeling anxious altogether.
Sorry if I gave that impression. It was not my intention.

> A crash is a bug but not a security problem.

I think that all bugs, the ones that produces crashes and security bugs should be all treated equally. A bug is a bug, whenever it has security implications or not.

To me, the article gives the impression that a system crash is not a security problem, because a Rust program will "terminate in a controlled fashion, preventing any illegal access". But one for example, can fingerprint a system by forcing it to crash.

And of course, nobody expects that Rust will prevent bugs from happening, but at the same time I don't get why the fixation of setting a difference between security bugs and bugs.

Satoshi Nakamoto did say this:

He clearly expected Bitcoin to cheaper and faster than credit cards and I've often wondered how he could have been so wrong about that.

-Rawson https://www.linkedin.com/in/rawsonleavitt/
I work in a very multidisciplinary team, so all of us end up being "idea guys" at one point or another. I think it is fine for people to throw out ideas that they can't execute, as long as they don't have the power to demand their implementation. Extra perspectives and ideas only hurt when the implementation of them is forced, rather than considered and decided on by people doing the implementing.

I think it is easy to discount people who throw out ideas but don't implement them, and I get that the people talked about in the article are the extreme end of the spectrum, but it also doesn't take much time to say "we've thought of that and it doesn't work" or "what we have right now is working". The benefits of getting an idea you wouldn't have thought of can outweigh the minor inconveniences.
Well I am a communist, so that makes sense. Crony capitalism is just capitalism, by the way. It's designed to work that way.

In Apple's case, the "massive capital expenses" have been paid for many times over in profit; when does the compensation shift back to the people creating the day-to-day value? Never, I guess?

And by the way, I'm not talking about the $300k engineers in Cupertino. I'm talking about the people who were throwing themselves of factory roofs until they set up nets to take even that measure of freedom away.
