Do they need to be portable/compatible? If MS wrote their own version/alternative, then it'd be incompatible with everything. This way they get a load of high-quality code for free, and even if it's not directly compatible with existing uses at least the general framework is known by existing users and there's existing documentation so they don't have to do the whole thing from scratch and train all the users themselves. API compatibility would help, but there's value without it.
Sure, sure. Yes, it would. And you'll find your proposal gets shot down and derided by those above you in the hierarchy whom it would negatively impact, your desk moved to the basement and your favorite stapler confiscated. Politics will block the change that would fix said politics. That's why it's politics. That's why it works.
I don't know the individuals who wrote that... Even though I read the article.

What I do remember is that "Slate" journalists wrote it. And its on that platform - which is using the very privacy destroying tactics they bemoan about FB. And they also pull data from FB with people using their SSO.

They made themselves as hypocrites. Nobody forced them to 'force agree' people, or to tie in to FB or goog. But they absolutely did.
Most Americans can’t afford $500 in case of an emergency, which is why high deductible plans are a non starter to provide coverage. For them a $5000 deductible is as good as not being covered in the first place.
No. The Bank's intent is what matters, not the intent or actions of a single employee.
People thought the same thing about nuclear energy. A popular quote from the 50s was "energy too cheap to meter." Yet here we are in a world were nuclear energy exists but unforeseen factors like hardware costs cause the costs to be much more than optimists expected.

These claims are certainly plausible to me, but they are by no means obvious. (For reference, I'm a postdoc who specializes in machine learning.)
I think they were talking about the whole bay area. If they were talking about moving out of SF to another part of the Bay Area, SF is way more central than Silicon Valley.

Edit: I realize you would be near their old offices. Still, if they're looking to find the most entrepreneurs that they can who aren't motivated by hype, the more central from a transportation perspective, the better. And there is no place in the bay area that you can expect people from all parts of the bay area to come to other than SF.
If you don't ever use something, you don't use it at all. If I simply said that I don't use it, there would remain some ambiguity as to what that means, i.e. it could mean that I don't use it much. It seems like a natural use of the word to me, but I'm just one person.

You have pointed to the examples where the tasks are pattern recognition. I certainly agree that many tasks that humans perform are pattern recognition. But my point is that not ALL tasks are pattern recognition and intelligence involves pattern recognition but that not all of intelligence is pattern recognition.

Pattern recognition works when there is a pattern (repetitive structure). But in the case of outliers, there is no repetitive structure and hence there is no pattern. For example, what is the pattern when a kid first learns 1+1=2? or why must 'B' come after 'A'? It is taught as a rule(or axiom or abstraction) using which higher level patterns can be built. So, I believe that while pattern recognition is useful for intelligence, it is not all there is to intelligence.
My enterprise company wont even get us Postman Premium to the tune of ~$150 per seat per year...

So here we are slacking postman collections back and forth on our current year mac books.
A useful feature for a service like this is being able to set delegates both from the producer and consumer side. For example, if the person I sent the notification to doesn’t respond in <time window>, then send a request to this person (potentially their manager / emergency contact / etc...) . And, as someone receiving notifications, set another person as my delegate for a certain time window and for a specific application. This is what we have to deal with to handle OOO scenarios.
I’ve done some studies in Transactional Analysis, and what strikes me the most is that you have one group of people who need to be recognised for what they do, and another group of people who need to be recognised for who they are.

Plenty of people will get all their meaning from work, and they’ll burn out trying to prove who they are.

Plenty of people hate being defined by their work and want to be recognised for their self.
Hashicorp is one of those companies I want to support, but all of their pricing and enterprise details are behind a "Contact sales" button, so it is really hard to get to know their offerings and their pricing.

I understand we might be too small to matter for them if we aren't ready to dump thousands of dollars per month into their bankaccount, but it does makes me cautious about what is going to happen with them when their investment money runs out.
Am seeing early signs of an instagram decrease. People are deleting their accounts, posting less, and unfollowing people.

I think the switch to stories had an impact. Positive at first, but negative indirectly, as it introduced the “mute” mechanism. At first you could just do this with stories, but now you can mute someone’s posts while still “following” them.

Before, on instagram, if someone followed you, you really knew they followed you. So people sort of self-policed their posts, as they knew they’d get unfollowed if they were excessive. And there was a lot of engagement on posts, because 100% of followers saw it.

But now you can follow but not follow. So on the one hand some people are pushing more posts, on the other hand you have a lot of non-genuine followers. This discourages posting.

I have more followers but fewer likes than before, and I also follow more people and see less. The platform feels more hollow than it used to, in the same way facebook does.
Did that change recently? I haven't used Windows since XP, but back then, they used Volume Shadow Copies (VSS) for making backups used for reverting changes, not NTFS transactions.
I was hoping they'd actually made a bare-metal BEAM implementation like the Lisp and Forth hardware that people have made in the past. This device looks like it's Erlang-on-BEAM-on-RTEMS, which is undoubtedly a more practical and useful thing, but less intriguing.
Instead of taking either of your words for it, are there any actual direct sources on Hashicorp's earnings?

The only source I found was https://www.hashicorp.com/blog/2017-year-in-review which just says the company "can be successful", not that it is making money.
Except you could argue what makes something personal and noiseless also makes it less profitable as an advertising platform.
Probably doesn't matter to their legal team. All code is company IP so they don't want it posted anywhere unnecessarily.

Tweet thread says it's a react packaged which means it's probably usually transpiled and minified, so not technically available in its original form in its distributed application.
Seems like it, given how shamelessly they are ripping off Slack's UI.
Law Professor Explains Why You Should Never Talk to Police
Was there a licence attached to the files? What if there wasn’t
Thank you. I just had an epiphany. In elementary school computer lab, we'd all fight for the color machines. There were two of those and like 25 of the green screens.

I remember wondering how the game "knew" what kind of screen it was on. How did it change from a solid color (for the lucky kids) to a pattern (for the rest of us)?? I just shrugged it off as the computer knowing the display type from the connection.

Those two images in your link made it all just click right now, 30 years later.
Slightly off topic, but my experience with lawyers and technology has been mostly discouraging. For example, one lawyer wanted to sue a client of ours for using an open-source JS dropdown menu that we were also using--he said they stole our code. He was also concerned that we were letting people 'View Source' our web pages and stealing our IP.

You could 'hack' any spying tendency though, just set up a system to send emails early morning, late at night, at weekends.

Then come annual review time, your boss can be impressed by your dedication.

This is off the top of my head, and does have the obvious flaws of being obviously automated from the sending machined perspective, and emails might not be a sign of work in your particular job. It probably has unobvious flaws as well, so isn't career advice.

Have any of those companies gone public yet? While I believe there is a shift north, I also believe a lot of the newer companies won't exist in 5 years. I guess I feel SF is still a lot more ephemeral than its southern neighbors.
Elastic has not and probably wouldn't open the Security plugin because it _was_ the sole reason to buy X-Pack, one of main ones as of now. They've opened only monitoring and reporting because there are other ways to do it without X-Pack anyway, all other parts in OSS code just have interfaces so anyone's plugins could interact with them.
You would think so, but perhaps they didn't have the credentials.
Mystery Chinese database lists whether 1.8M women are ‘BreedReady’
I forget where I heard this, but one approach is to simply lag behind the news by a week or so, on the premise that anything meaningful to you as a citizen/voter will continue to be relevant a week later. (Obviously there are exceptions for policy makers, or when some news is otherwise salient to one's profession.)

In practice, a significant portion of the news habit is a sort of FOMO, a desire to be included in water-cooler conversations, complete with intelligent opinions and "hot takes". Which is fine as far as it goes; but, it does come at the cost of the emotional rollercoaster of a highly manipulative news cycle (not to mention tribal battle lines[0]). Those who focus their water-cooler game on relative trivialities like sports and pop culture might actually be on to something.

Anyone that argues AGI is possible intrinsically believes the universe is finite and discretized.

I have found Quantum ideas and observations too unnerving to accept a finite and discretized universe.

Edit: this in in response to GO, or Starcraft or anything that is boxed off -- these AIs will eventually outperform humans on a grand scale, but the existence of 'constants' or being in a sandbox immediately precludes the results from speaking to AI's generalizability.
> I suppose if you are a part of a larger organization, you can post several spotters around every voting station. But that will increase the chance of them being spotted and spoofed by the police.

It's easy enough to deploy spotters without being found out. Just deploy spotters as exit pollers, they're already part of any modern election :)
Looks like I was right.
Certainly not a sensible solution like having a dialog button that gives you all the relevant information immediately and empowers you to solve the problem without a goose chase.
You would be amazed at the spread between big companies who decide "we won't pay $20 for support for something critical!" and other companies who decide "OMG, we can't run /bin/bash without a support contract and someone to yell at if it goes wrong!"

You don't need any special access to see graphs also including Instagram usage: http://www.edisonresearch.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/Inf...

In the age group 12-34, Facebook dropped from 79% usage in 2017 to 62% in 2019 while Instagram increased from 64% to 66% over the same period, so at least some former Facebook users didn't just migrate to Instagram. They don't have data for WhatsApp before 2019 (23%), so it's still possible that the total number of users in that age bracket actually increased when you pool all of Facebook's properties.

Lots of great answers here. I'll just add, as a founder myself, that things will probably not be very structured at that stage.

That means you may find yourself working on very different things every day, maybe even things outside the traditional software developer role. (For example, you might be asked to help on customer support). Be open to wearing multiple hats and being a team player.

Also don't expect to get too much direction. You'll need to be a self-starter and autonomous. In fact, I encourage you to take the initiative and even lead projects. There's no better way to hone your leaderships skills than at an early-stage startup.

Finally, don't think of it as a regular job where you clock in at 9 and out at 5. You may not be told explicitly to put in extra hours but if others are doing it you probably should too. You are a part-owner after all (if you're getting equity).

That being said, don't forget to take breaks and recharge!
That is absolutely not true, and it flies in the face of the notion of "due diligence".

This bank uploaded their own code to the repo, and when they found it they didn't bother to do any investigating before they started sending legal demands.

It was 100% their responsibility to ensure that they were not responsible for their own leak before they started making legal threats.

They decided to skip due diligence, and they should pay the price for wasting others' time and energy, regardless of their "intentions".
This certainly looks interesting and I think there is a need for this. I haven't looked too closely but do you have architecture diagrams of how complete solutions built on your system could look?
Discussion about ethics are kind of pointless as different people have different ethical systems.
not the case for AGPL: then it's everyone who has access to your online service built with the code.
As a former JPLer, I'd disagree with you. When I joined in 2002, over 65% of JPL's employees had at least a bachelors. Still, 40% had a secondary degree (MS or MBA). It was not unusual to see people get passed on promotions for Team Leads and/or Managers because they did not have a second degree. Even the Business Administrators (BAMs) were on track to being required to have an MBA when I left in 2010. Think BAMs as Executive Secretaries for a Line of Business (Section) for about 30-50 people. It was severely career limiting if people looking to move up from Group (5-20 people) to Section (30-50), to Division (100-300), to Directorate (100-1000) to Executive Council (strategic direction for all of JPL) without the appropriate experience and/or degree(s). The Director for the Lab (think CEO) for JPL during my tenure was Dr. Charles Elachi; he had 6 degrees. I interviewed with people with PhDs in Astro-Meteorology (literally Space Weather and weather on other planets) who knew 10x more about Compilers and Compiler Theory than I did as a recent CS grade at the time. All the while, almost everyone I worked with was an absolute pleasure to work with.

There's not a whole lot of data suggesting an exodus from SF.

There's increasing amounts of VC funding in Asia so SFBA is not as dominant as it used to be 20 years ago but SF is still by far the center of the universe as far as starting a startup goes, and there's no major trends that would suggest a decline in absolute terms.

Right, and I would counter that if you're doing this, it's time to look for a new job. It's not good for your own personal career, it isn't good for your company, it isn't good for your relationship with your manager, and it is illegal is many locales.

So, no, please don't do this.
The software could contain a trade secret, and someone could discover it from reading the source (e.g. the banks magic evaluation function for credit ratings, or their trading strategy, or ...). That doesn't grant them any protected right on the software, which is protected by copyright.
RChain is focused on the community involvement side only.

RChain is not working to solve the ICO legal problem, whereas we are working with the SEC to develop a legal framework/guidelines other businesses/startups can follow to raise capital legally using Blockchain technology.

I keep thinking I should go and short Facebook, even though I never trade individual stocks. It's just so clear to me that Facebook will crash and burn in the next couple of years. They are like Nokia in 2008: Still a high market share, but doomed.

Then I remember that Facebook owns Instagram and WhatsApp. They're doing great, partially because nobody thinks of Instagram as Facebook.

I think they can argue that the code is their property and that the employee that published it on NPM had no mandate from the company to do so. So it's effectively "stolen code" in a sense, just as if the employee had done it to harm the company on purpose.
I left Instagram for 8 months. I came back last month and noticed every 3 or 4 posts is now an ad. That was not the case when I stopped using it. As ads increase the hallow feeling increases. This is the same as visiting a blog or site with zero ads vs the extreme of visiting a site with ads in every nook and cranny. I am not against ads but there should be a conservative approach to embedding paid messaging.

Also similar to FB, the instagram algorithm is always changing. The fact that your feed is less real-time removes part of the essence of instagram. I liked knowing that my feed was a 1:1 connection to the real world. Now it is less that and more a collection of posts from the people I follow. One of my core ideas around young folks leaving facebook is for the same exact reason.

When you are in grade school, life moments occur everyday and sometimes within a few hours. Think of nailing your first skateboard trick, joining bands, or making the varsity team, etc. Those are all potential posts on any social channel. If you are the consumer of those posts, assuming the same age as the poster, you want to see them in a real-life sequence. It would feel fake or hollow to see the posts (that happened in your school, maybe at your game) contextualized against ads or in a wrong order.
On the CoCo 3 you didn't have to hit reset; there was a way to switch it in software.

Also on the CoCo 3, there was the 640 x 192 4-color "hires" mode. Way, way back - I believe published in Hot CoCo - someone figured out that using a television, and setting those 4 colors to the grayscale in the 64 color palette (black, dark grey, light grey, and white) - and with proper 4-bit pixel settings, you could get a virtual 128x192 image with colors.

Basically the same technique (called artifact colors, or artifacting) - but applied to the high-res screen of the CoCo 3.

Unfortunately - he sent it to Hot CoCo! Had he sent it to the Rainbow instead...things might have been different. You see, by sending it to that magazine, it didn't reach a large audience, so only a few people saw it, nobody much played with it, and it faded into history.

On the Rainbow side of things, there were a couple of articles about using patterns of color to create "virtual colors" - but it was geared toward the RGB monitor (CM-8), and not really the TV - and using colors, not the gray scales...

So - what am rambling about then?

Well - long story short - this:

http://richg42.blogspot.com/2014/02/the-little-known-color-c...

A virtually unknown "256 color" mode on the Color Computer 3 that was lost to history.

Now - this isn't the mystery 256 color mode that has been described elsewhere hiding in the GIME chip (and most people believe that it is a false rumor; but the Microware CoCo 3 prototype holds out hope) - but it is a working "hi color" mode available on the CoCo 3.

Unfortunately, today, it is only a curiosity more than anything, and it is unknown whether it could have been used back then; from what I recall, they had to use a PC to figure out the proper bit patterns for each of the colors, and that kind of processing would have been difficult at best back then.

EDIT: This really shows off what is possible with the mode:

None of what you describe is something I'd hire into a data science role specifically. Some of those skills are skills I'd expect a data scientist to have (e.g. SQL skills). A data scientist in this context has to have an understanding of basic statistics generally: hypothesis testing, modelling techniques and their applications, and performance tuning and evaluation. They also need to understand how to devise and run experiments that collect and make use of data in practice (i.e. "real world" data). I wouldn't necessarily expect a candidate to be able to derive the formulas involved, but it would be the odd candidate who truly grasped the nuances who could not do so.
