I generally think of Google the same way I think of the NSA. If they stop doing something invasive, either it didn't work, they found a better way of doing it, or it was transferred to a legally distinct category, and we only hear about it because of PR considerations.

I use firefox all the time, but the do a terrible job at creating a good browser that I can recommend to people. Biggest problems:

1. Tab handling is horrible compared to chrome. Vertical tab plugins are theoretically better, but are broken by the new extension system. If you install the plugins you still get tabs across the top.

2. Handling of native themes. Mozilla started attempting this and failed miserably with obviously no QA. They will match my themes dark background but not match the lighter colored text, making the inputs black on black.

3. Non-native UI's. They can support a cross platform UI framework but not a cross platform browser?

4. Whatever the hell is going on with that hamburger menu, they seem to change it all the time and I can never find my bookmarks.

The spend so much on experiments, rewriting things in rust, switching UI frameworks and barely used experiments like webasm and webgl but won't invest in making their core browser experience better. They're stuck doing things that are fun for developers to work on.
The additional security mitigations of Windows 10 make it significantly more secure than a fully patched Windows 7 installation.

Indeed. It's tough to compromise a system if you can't even boot it. [1]

Still, at least your data is safe. It's not as if Microsoft would ever roll out an update that just deleted your files. Oh, no, wait, they did that too. [2]

You could just turn off the updates and... Ah, sorry, it looks like you can't block that one unless you're on a different edition of Windows that isn't available to you.

Still, at least all that juicy telemetry you're sending back will help Microsoft to protect the Enterprise customers you're beta testing for, so it's not all bad. Just all bad for you, apparently.

I'll tell you what. Why not play a nice game of Candy Crush on your business laptop, where a link has already been added for your convenience, while you wait an indeterminate amount of time for your main workstation to become available again so you can restart the five-day data processing job you just interrupted?

.htaccess is the thing I strongly dislike about Apache.

This is off topic. But I've been skeptical of the commercial aviation accident risk compared to cars.

I'm not saying cars are safer. But using accident count per mileage seems a bit odd, especially when the most risky parts of flying are taking off and landing.

A plane travelling 400 more miles doesn't incur much more risk. But a car travelling 400 more miles incur a much bigger risk (e.g. fatigue, car malfunctioning). So, of course, the stats for planes is going to look much better.

I wonder if anyone has an insight into why we are using this metrics, and what is a better metrics?

It’s an income share agreement, which is quite different than a loan, and you only repay if you get hired making $50k 94 more. And it’s also a school that’s run quite differently than other schools out there. We have to do everything differently from first principles to make this work.

While I think what Lambda School does seems pretty great I have to wonder what will happen when the next recession hits.

Getting in to college in the mid-90s wasn't as hard as it is now. I can't speak for USC, but when I started college in 1995 there were no concerns from the guidance counselors with my grades and SATs to get into any public school. I don't think with those same grades you are guaranteed a spot these days. There are just so many applicants for college that you have to be in a higher percentile.

> There is no moving of goalposts. Data collection was part of my argument from the start.

It's moving the goalposts because when I countered the argument you dropped it, ignored it, and redoubled on data collection.

> Because it’s historical - i.e. it was available in the past, but is no longer available.

Every company that collects data collects "historical" data.

> advantage of having not only a huge head start

A headstart is not a barrier to entry for your competitors.

> all the data available up to how about the structure of the web and user searches.

Data collection is not a barrier to entry for your competitors. Google isn't stopping you from crawling the web to determine its structure. Just because google collected data on user searches in the past doesn't mean you can't collect data on user searches on your own platform today.

> Your statement that we should ban user tracking is another example of you creating an absurd remedy as a strawman.

I did not propose it as a remedy, it is a deliberately absurd conclusion meant to illustrate the flaw in your reasoning, i.e. the fact that every company collects user data and nobody ever views that practice as barrier to entry for competitors.

> That doesn’t mean we have to deceive ourselves into believing that there are no barriers to entry to compete with Google.

For someone that deigns to project insults about reading comprehension you sure are bad at it yourself. Re-read what I wrote. I never said there are no barriers to entry, I said that google's business model does not create barriers to entry for their competitors. If we're using every single competitive advantage as an example of a "barrier to entry" then the term is meaningless because it applies to every market leader.
They didn't, actually. Severe poverty was widespread on a scale we don't really see today. Not having SS, especially, lead to extreme destitution being common among the elderly.
Having read Damore’s memo, I would not describe it that way.

Odd, but I saw videos of Google and YouTube execs soon afterwards talking at conferences saying some of the same things that were somehow so terrible in the Damore memo.

In particular, they stated that they were doing about as well as the education pipeline could allow, and they also speculated that there might be changes to the work environment which could make jobs more desirable to women.

Linking a study about toy preferences in monkeys (no matter its merits) is a long way from supporting the claim that Google’s management stats were just reflecting a shortage of qualified people.

That hardly strikes me as an intellectually robust summary of the memo.

I mean, many of them died. Or ended up in the workhouse.
What happened in the 1980s was the culmination of Baltimore's deindustrialization. Baltimore had the misfortune of having every single one of its major job-producing industries decimated by globalization and consolidation. Manufacturing, steel, automobiles, shipbuilding were all killed by globalization, containerization basically wiped out port jobs, and consolidation of the insurance and banking industries wiped out Baltimore's medium skill white-collar jobs (Baltimore used to be a regional insurance/banking center). What was left of banking and insurance after consolidation got wiped out by technology. I know a guy who got laid off consecutively by three different banks before he finally gave up on the banking industry in Baltimore.

And therein lies the solution to Baltimore's problems. If you were to somehow provide 30-50,000 low-skill living-wage jobs and maybe an additional 10-15,000 medium-skill white-collar jobs, you could start to "fix" Baltimore. Because the net effect of all those people having money to spend plus the halo effect adding another 10-15,000 jobs (providing new services for all those working people) would be so massive it would change the city. The problem is really just that simple -- total lack of economic opportunity for a large fraction of Baltimore's population who are lacking in skills or education.

Baltimore has "good bones" but intractable economic problems. And the root problem is, how would you provide those jobs? If I had that answer, I'd run for emperor of Baltimore.
We have to prepare pretty seriously for a recession - recessions are when school enrollment explodes because job opportunities dry up.

I can’t go into all the details publicly, but it’s something we have to take serious consideration to prepare for.
Yes, I have used AutoKeras in practice, with mixed results. I have also written in-house hyperparameter search tooling to spread parametric architecture search in a distributed training environment with about the same mixed success. I have done this for both large-scale image processing networks and natural language processing networks.

Using AutoML in practice is beyond foolish, given the pricing, except for a really small minority of customers. Let alone that neural architecture search is not a silver bullet and frequently is totally not helpful for model selection (for example, say your trade-off space involves severe penalty on runtime and you have a constraint that your deployed runtime system must be CPU-only.. you may trade performance for the sake of reducing convolutional layers, in a super ad hoc business-driven way that does not translate to any type of objective function for NAS libraries to optimize... one of the most important production systems I currently work on has exactly this type of constraint).
Not keep up in what way? Package version freshness? Relatively recent kernels?
> Why wouldn't you instead endow a scholarship for students of your favorite college?

Because endowing a scholarship is setting up a charity and donating to a University (the kind anyone donates to, at any rate—no one is endowing chairs at the University of Phoenix) is giving to an existing charity; the two probably have similar tax, feeling of giving back, and status/ego benefits, but the former is more work.

It's not particularly common but I've been in some what of a similar situation. If you're a senior techy person I'd suggest taking a bit of time to either find a new position (as I'm sure all of HN would echo, simply for your sanity) or I'd suggest taking that time to assemble a report about how your spend your hours each day and make sure it bubbles up past your manager to someone who deals with money.

That sort of situation is constantly costing the company money for no good reason, it'd be fiscally sound to spell out these costs and contrast them with any estimates you could assemble on making the application start working again. Manually replaying queries is expensive, terrible, terrifying, and can potentially break data-integrity really badly.
Stricture definitely means safer. Android apps written in Java cannot wipe the device or run amok and do whatever. The opportunity for malware is considerably reduced if the API attack surface is limited.

Security measures on Win10 are superficial in the sense that any app compiled to the platform can essentially do whatever.

It would I think something quite more fundamental than the app store or signatures, effectively a totally new OS architecture.

> Look, I don't know what was in the poster's mind. However, it seems the common theme you picked out (biological differences of the sexes and a dangerous leap to racial differences) is one common theme. If you hadn't said anything, I was assuming the poster's comparison here was to show that we're targeting academics with dissenting opinions.

I am simply aware of the larger context. The reason I made that leap was because Weinstein himself has said things to this effect. But also, because of the particular framing of the Evergreen Protests (which saw arguments across the political and social spectrum) as a dangerous pack of leftists wielding baseball bats stalking the campus (which is a hotly contested claim). Faculty who were there and had their offices occupied as part of the specificallu leftist protests do not consistently report

And quite frankly? It doesn't stand out in American politics at all. We've been rioting as part of political discourse since before the Constitution's ink was dry.

But presenting the event in that way leads an informed reader to wonder if there is are other inaccuracies.

Look at the poster's responses closely for a clear and logical refutation. I think the absence of anything other than "it's name calling and that's what they do" is not a very powerful way to dismiss these concerns. Someone genuinely interested in setting the record straight would probably do it differently

Am I "the far left?" I don't know. I'm a successful fintech founder postexit, so it's pretty tough for me to look credible to that crowd. If I were, would simply naming me as such actually be a valid answer to the concern I raised?
> 3) Does MCAS pose a risk that cannot be adequately addressed through appropriate awareness and training?

If it fails this frequently, yes. Obviously pilots need to be informed about the failure modes of the planes they fly - but they also need to not be constantly subjected to them. Modern commercial aircraft are supposed to be waaay more reliable than this.

This is amazing!

I'm curious, one of your student stories mentions a student who was immediately hired into a senior engineering role upon graduating. While I've heard great things about Lambda School and its students, that gives me pause. When companies hire new grads directly into senior roles, do you think that they're set up to succeed in those roles? I'm genuinely curious.
What is "convolutional CTC"?

Gated convolutions as LM is similar to RNN-T idea [1], but you have to deal with softmax, so I'm not sure how well this would work in practice, especially on a mobile processor.

Yea... that's like saying "Oh yea, this attacker did have root access and we checked the logs of what he did and apparently he just logged in and then three hours later he edited some log file and logged out... it's weird he didn't do anything while on the server..."
It’s rare that that happens. That particular student is now leading a team of 40, so he was well suited, but we tell most students to be at “try to go senior quickly” level (with regard to ability not necessarily title).
Are there more recent examples given this is from the 1950s? If not, is there a reason there aren't more recent examples?
It would be ironic if the lack of 737-MAX category for reports is why these reports never made it to the people who needed to see them, which caused the issue to go unnoticed.
Very cool! I especially liked the approach to measure water or to count paper towels left.

This is very interesting, and I'm curious about the nature of the risk that you're taking on.

It seems like risk would only become a factor for Lambda School if you're taking 10% of pre-tax income from graduates for the 5 chronological years immediately after they graduate (regardless of employment status).

If you're instead taking 10% of pre-tax income from graduates for the next 5 years in which they're working (non-chronological), then the risk on your side actually seems fairly low, since most software jobs in the US pay >50k a year.

If you're taking 10% of pre-tax income from folks for the next 5 years in which they're employed AND making >50k, then the risk for Lambda School is basically zero. I believe this scenario is what is actually happening.

If the final scenario I laid out is what is happening, then this seems very close to traditional debt (take a loan out for living expenses + tuition, then repay a much larger amount down the line).

This is insane.

The Democrats ran in 4 "parties", and the Republicans in 3 "parties", for governor.
The Libertarian party nominated 2 separate sets of governor/deputy governor.

The non main parties nominated the same people (sometimes), but not for some categories, randomly. Some people are nominated on different parties that nominate different people for governor.

Ultimately, it's a 2-person race in most posts, and a single nomination for coroner.

From a stability perspective there's likely no difference insofar as the stall response will be bad regardless. You can have complex wing geometry that stalls gracefully, for instance carbon general aviation aircraft have similar traits but require much cleaner stall response for certification generally.

BTW since it's been tossed around a lot, good stall response is when the whole wing stalls at the same time and both wings tend to stall together, therefore you get a clean lurch downward in a straight predictable line. Bad stall response is one part of one wing stalling before the rest such that the wing drops and the plane has to be fought to avoid a spin or if extreme enough, a tail slide or extreme side slip.
I was informed I would be waken up during brain tumour surgery. They did wake me up to test motor skills (and vision I think) but thankfully I have no recollection of the event (which they also told me would be most likely).

I can't fathom being awake during surgery. Having sleep paralysis once or twice in my calm bedroom was traumatizing enough.
I'd say it's accidents per person/hour. And I've read somewhere that the figures used to be similar for cars and airplanes (though aircraft safety is constantly improving, cars probably less).
