I generally opt out of any kind of thing that is going to popup on my screen unannounced.

I think there is a grey area on whether those sorts of notifications you mention should be enabled by default. There is an argument to be made that they should be enabled by default, as it's basically a mechanism to train/educate the user that the feature exists. As long as they can easily opt-out.

But I do think it's a very different thing between those and what Epic is doing with advertisements regarding completely unrelated games that they want me to play/buy. It serves me no functional purpose, it only serves Epic, especially because the only reason I have Epic Launcher on my system is because it's the only way to play Metro Exodus right now; it's a means to an end.
I don't want to restrict the subreddit, for one. I have around 295k followers on Tumblr; I can't hand-approve all of them. Plus, restricting the sub would keep new people from finding it.

Plus what the other commenter said about formatting and poor workflow. The mods can just barely handle the current workload of reviewing ~30-40 posts per day, choosing 20 to post, and adding tags as needed. If we had to open an email, then open a link (and hope the link was functional and not malicious), then review the submission, then copy the submission, then open the "submit a post" dialogue, then paste, then format, then post... yeah, that's way too much.

There's an IFTTT workflow for sending Tumblr posts to Reddit, but unfortunately the API it uses doesn't preserve any formatting, so you end up with a giant text blob. I don't think it could handle image posts. If that worked, I'd happily start sending things to a subreddit.

You know, I think what they're experiencing is, uh, Winter. This might be a foreign concept for people who live in sunny Santa Monica, so I'll explain: for about 5 months in most of the US, it gets really cold outside, kind of like your freezer. Crystalized water falls from the sky, and riding a scooter becomes both dangerous and very uncomfortable, so most people don't do it. Unlike, say, Uber, your revenue will likely take a real big hit during this time, instead of increasing.

More bad news for you, this does happen every year. Heck, in many of your largest markets, like Minneapolis and Chicago, it can last up to 8 months!

I'm available for hire if you need boots on the ground in this part of the country. First recommendation: Maybe don't keep hundreds of scooters on the streets during heavy snowfall! As far as I could tell, the total scooter capacity didn't decrease substantially over the past four months, no one was riding them, and I'm sure they took a lot of damage from the bad weather. Hunker down and wait for the sun!
Read the article. This is not requiring all gasoline to have 15% ethanol. E15 is a kind of gas that is commonly offered. Most of the stations here in MN offer it. This bill only allows it to be sold year round. E10 will still be the most common type of gas sold.

Any ideas on the possible dataset?
It’s such a bad business model, it has nasty externalities, but people still leap to defend it because they don’t like cars. I think we need to be optimistic about this and accept that a lot of the last few years and probably a few more are all an incredibly expensive lesson as to why regulation exists, burdensome nature and all. Five years ago everything was “Uber for X” and “disruption” and Crytpocurrency. Now... not so much except for the true believers and the sunk costers.

So yes, it’s out of hand, it’s inherently unprofitable and cheap Chinese scooters are probably not a net environmental benefit. It’s still one of those things that millions of people apparently need to figure out the hard way.
I actually disagree. Of the problems that are commonly asked in programming interviews, DP is perhaps the one that tests "general problem solving" the best.

Many other problems require problem-specific tricks/uncommon tricks. On the other hand, there's rarely a DP problem (that comes up in interviews) that relies on a problem-specific trick.
If you release a software update and only 2 out of thousands of nodes are experiencing problems, would you honestly take the whole application offline over that? Most software companies would not, in my experience. They would take a close look at those two nodes first.

Obviously commercial aviation has much higher standards than software vendors generally do. Airline tickets don’t generally come with 5,000 word EULAs with all-caps provisions like “THIS SOFTWARE IS NOT FIT FOR PURPOSE AND SHOULD NOT BE USED FOR ANY REASON AND YOU ASSUME ALL RESPONSIBILITY FOR ANY NEGATIVE OUTCOMES OF ANY KIND” etc.

Two crashes in close succession seems like an obvious abnormality. But because standards are so high, to commercial aviation providers and regulators, every single crash is treated as a significant abnormality. So the question is, why don’t they ground all models of a certain plane after a single crash? Once you understand that, the same logic applies to two crashes.
There is no such thing as a reasonable ad. "Reasonable ad" is an oxymoron. A car windshield which can block ads (better: a pair of glasses) would be a gift from the quantum field so sweet bees would want to use it to make honey.

Consider Fibonacci. Memoized recursion uses O(n) memory, because you don't garbage-collect anything. Bottom-up dynamic programming is O(1) memory, because you only need to remember the largest 2 subvalues you've computed.

Agreed. And I should have taken more care to say that I don’t look at all off-roaders the same way.
I don't think what you are saying contradicts the text. What he's saying is that we need to put our efforts into how to design and use the tools that tackle the problem space, rather than reasoning about the problem space itself, e.g. how to use neural nets, monte carlo search, etc. That doesn't mean we just throw a for-loop at the data.
Your two paragraphs are contradictory.

If someone can learn to solve just DP problems by practicing in leetcode then DP is a useless metric or proxy of someone’s ability to reason mathematically.

You should have said “the ability to solve DP problems is a good metric of the ability of a candidate to solve DP problems“. I would have agreed with you in that case :)
This is one definition, but I don't think it's the common one. The more common definition is that dynamic programming refers to solving a complicated problem by breaking it up into simpler overlapping subproblems that can be solved independently.

Solving it with recursion/memoization vs. bottom-up is merely an implementation detail, while DP refers to a class of algorithms.

EDIT: Corrected definition of DP.

Dynamic Programming is a concept from control theory in which the goal is to optimize a specific type of equation. Here, "programming" doesn't mean the same word as in "computer programming". It's just a carry over word from the field of optimization and mathematical modeling [0].

Goal is to optimize some problem that can be framed as having the following properties: an optimal solution to the overall problem will result in optimal solutions for all "subproblems" and these "subproblems" are not all disjoint. If they are disjoint, then don't need to use DP, but you can use a simpler divide and conquer approach (example: you don't need DP to solve mergesort)

Such problems are everywhere. Lots of path planning, shortest path type problems are DP based (high level ex: shortest path from A to C going via B necessarily will imply that the path from A to B is the shortest and B to C is the shortest). In reinforcement learning, similar ideas are crucial. Relatedly, in game theory, these types of problems arise in the form of subgame perfect equilibriums.

Thinking graphically, I believe all DPs can be represented as directed acyclical (hyper)graphs. So, the optimal solution on this graph will mean that the subgraphs in the solution also have optimal solutions, and that these subgraphs overlap.

In computer science, the optimizations tend to work incrementally as a 'wavefront' from the smallest subgraph (usually some basecases, starting points) -- using the solution to the current subgraph in the larger subgraph, etc. Eventually, the wavefront covers the relevant parts of the graph. This is what people tend to call "bottom up".

Before the wild speculation, here's some words from an actual aviation expert, Greg Feith:

It is sad to hear some of the “junior investigator” talking heads make a storyline out of factoids or no facts about the 737 MAX. They embellish their credentials to sound smart when in fact they have no clue and say things about analyzing data that doesn’t exist....

A good friend of mine who is a former airline captain and flight safety professional ant be the following:

“The VAST majority of the inane comments and knee jerk industry reactions on FB and AV Herald are based on no valid nor substantiated information regarding the MAX aircraft.

However, NO one is talking about the pilots, nor the airlines involved, nor the training, nor the experience of the pilots. It IS WELL BEYOND time that these direct factors are understood, investigated and considered a possible contributor to the two distinct MAX accidents.

The accident information in news articles dated 11/28/2018 indicated that the previous crew at Lion Air had experienced the MCAS issue but CORRECTLY dealt with it by disconnecting the stab trim cutouts - as expected in the NNC (non-normal checklist) yet the accident crew could not figure it out. Why the plane was dispatched in an unairworthy condition needs to be addressed and why one crew did and the accident crew did not figure it out the system issues needs to be explored because the deficiencies with the accident flight crew can be traced back to inadequate or deficient training and like suspect pilot qualifications!”

EDIT: Given the rain of downvotes, it looks like a lot of HNers are convinced that mustache twirling villains at Boeing are responsible for the crash, which is extraordinarily unlikely.
Possibly because it doesn't matter to us really. The postmortem will be interesting to read if they publish it, but otherwise - it stopped working. Time to explain it to the peanut gallery is better spent dealing with the actual issue.
The first fatal crash of the 777 was actually Asiana 214 and that was complete pilot error. I think you’re referencing MH370 a few months later.

Well, to be fair, at that time there was no real contention between the Roman and Celtic churches, and I have not seen any evidence that they considered each other outside of one another's communions.

The idea of "Roman" Christianity had not taken hold until Gregory the Great, and especially his successor, Sabinius, who formally accepted the supremacy over all the bishops.

The conflict between the Celtic and Roman churches came later under Augustine of Canterbury, who required the Celtic churches to adopt the Roman rite, abandon their old Italic Bible translations, and adopt the Vulgate. That stirred up quite a kerfuffle.
There was an existing company called WebPass that Google bought. As far as I can tell, they got rid of all the local sales and support in the dozens of cities they operated in (presumably to fold all that into their existing Google Fiber org). It was a total failure.

you're forgetting that the numbers are skewed by the concealment of information by the manufacturer. If there were no secrets, the public would boycott airplanes with known problems like this one, and the cost comparison would be more appropriate.

It's partly first-mover advantage, but also Valve has repeatedly made moves that demonstrate their relative good will towards gamers and developers. Aside from their own (vanishingly few) games, Valve has never enforced any kind of exclusivity. You can even sell Steam keys through other vendors and Valve doesn't even get a cut. They helped launch the indie explosion in the mid oughties with their cross promotional stunts. They have so many sales, with such outrageous discounts, that many of their customers have dozens if not hundreds of games they unlikely to ever play. Said discounts set a new bar for what a sale even looks like, with '40% off' often eliciting general consensus of 'meh'. They have more tools to try and help users find games they might like than anyone. They worked with HTC to develop new VR tech, again with no exclusivity (unlike their competition). And as every Linux gamer here should recognize: they've done more to make Linux gaming a realistic option than anyone ever, and they never charged a dime for it.

As much flak as Valve gets for not curating games and letting games with questionable content slide until some internets make a fuss, Steam is actually, objectively, really great.
Great work boys.

You are obviously better informed than me, but if the problem is so easy to solve, and they were already using the relevant tool, why was it still a problem?

The OS notification system is for important stuff that I actually give a damn about, not your company's spammy bullshit. Steam shows me a window that's obviously part of the Steam client and only when I launch it. That's significantly, ridiculously, miles and miles better.
I’ve been saying this since 2009. A lot of what’s wrong with Facebook started when it tried to copy Twitter in 2009: making posts public by default and preferring news articles over user generated content.

> Advertisers want to be excluded from placements next to adult content

I feel that this is maybe Tumblr's ad teams failing and they could have argued around this. When using the Dashboard the UI design of the system felt very much like every post on that screen was there because your chose it to be there so even if you injected ads into it there was never the feeling that ads were next to pornography posts because your feed was only ever full of pornography if you actively followed people who post it.

It was all manually curated by you not an algorithm system like Twitter, Gyphy, Imgur etc.
Ok but the implicit assumption here is that a new design would not itself include all sorts of engineering trade offs between systems, maintenance, and pilot training, when in fact it would. The 787 was a ground-up new design and yet holds the distinction of the most recent previous instance of a full model grounding, over battery issues.

Iterating on a proven airframe has a lot of advantages for aircraft design and it is common in the industry.

> It was amazing how much drama existed behind the scenes and how there would be a family tree of staff/codebases stemming from that drama and stolen code/areas.

It sounds like this stuff lives on in the likes of Space Station 13. IIRC at one point one team stole the compiled server code of of one of the other team's versions, decompiled it, and worked on it from there. One of the most popular versions has a client that forces users to watch an ad before playing and people are constantly trying to reverse engineer the API and build a replacement client. Some people have even made decently impressive attempts at making a 3d version of the game.
