Preferred qualifications for admitted OMS CS students are an undergraduate degree in computer science or related field (typically mathematics, computer engineering or electrical engineering) from an accredited institution with a cumulative GPA of 3.0 or higher. Applicants who do not meet these criteria will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis; however, work experience will not take the place of an undergraduate degree. The following are required for admission"

Never mind what you have done in the last decade or so, hopefully you got a CS degree and had a 3.0 GPA.

Ah, yes. Thank you. As for interface, I had the sense it would be non-verbal (i.e., textual) so that the "patient" would have so subvocalize the responses. But I will consider audio like Alexa et al.
It's not that they don't realize it. The R&D department doesn't have to be accountable for costs. The R&D department isn't incentivized to control costs because it isn't our problem. Proper tagging of resources shines a light on the R&D department and the business knows exactly what our projects' infrastructure cost is.

If I was a realtor, I probably would refuse to show FSBO as well. I bought a house about a month ago, and when I was looking at houses, it was fun to go to a neighborhood, see five houses for sale, and to try to figure out why the FSBO house was selling for 25% more than every other house in the neighborhood. Spoiler: It's because the people who go FSBO often are FSBOing specifically because they want to get a higher price than what a seller's agent thinks the house should list for.

> Where you stand really depends on where you sit.

There's really only two seating sections. The one's paying the outrageous commissions or the one's receiving them.

> But I’ve come to see the 3% on each side as an almost market clearing price. It’s really hard work, with low barriers to entry, and significant upfront costs.

The vast majority of the upfront costs are a moat dug by the established players. Everything from mandatory trainings, registration to insurance requirements.

> In a tight market, being a buyers agent can be a blessing or a curse. She’s been working with one client for nearly a year, submitting over 20 offers and going all over the metroplex with nothing to show for it. On the other hand, she’s had buyers who found something within a month. It works out to a decent standard of living, but it takes a long time to develop a pipeline. Most agents quit within a year.

That's the natural pros and cons of sales working on commission. When you're making money it's great. When you're not, it's not. There's nothing special about real estate.

We'll probably just have to agree to disagree re: "JS does more harm than good".

I have at least 5 progressive webapps open right now, none of which could work without javascript. Of the other 20 websites I have open in other tabs, none are being annoying or aggressive, and I'm not even using an adblocker.
I suppose so. I don't know much about eGPUs. I see the cheapest one available on the Apple store is $700 which includes a Radeon Pro 580 (appears to be the same card offered on the top of line iMac from today?). With SSDs on the Mini being as expensive as they are ($800 to upgrade to 1TB), I'd probably want an external HD as well, so minimum 3 boxes on my desk and more chords to deal with.

It would meet my needs and I might reluctantly get one.
You have a point. I've added " around it.
Agree with most of this. I don't want to though - I find it inherently depressing that we simply can't or won't do better. I want my kids to have a half decent life. We seem destined to keep right on trucking until we drive right off the cliff of collapse.

I don't agree it has to be the way of capitalism though, it's a problem of unfettered capitalism. We have more than enough history to know. Post war we were happy to constrain and limit capitalism to give an unprecedented period of rising standards with rising regulation, services and low inequality. Neoliberalism broke it. Rowing back the excess power and politicisation of unions was one thing - removing them as a usable concept for two generations entirely another. If negative externalities can be ignored, then regulate until they can't, even if it has to be an entirely arbitrary tax on plastic, emissions or whatever.

No country seems willing to go first, so we're stuck with the lowest common denominator of international agreements. Agreements where one or two derail any chance of global action and the rest won't get on without unanimity. Which starts to look insane.

I was a little confused on how this differed from GitLab CI. The CEO of Zeit gave me a response:

"GitLab + Now gives you a multi-cloud, multi-language/framework serverless solution with built-in CI/CD, TLS (Let's Encrypt), DNS with zero maintenance or configuration.

Most CI solutions involve painful config, fine-tuning & dedicated folks keeping it up to date."
The tech bros are right about searching out and notifying you about properties, computers do just fine at that. As far as title, legal, etc, certainly something best left to a professional. But it should be fee based, not 6% of the value of the asset.
I guess you can check the ASCII value of the char:

li:{(*$@x)within "AZ"}
li 1
0
li 1 2 3
1

Or can have a list of uppercase chars as names & check with 'in':

li2:{(@:y)in x}[`$,:'`c$"A"+!26]
li2 1 2 3
1
li2 1
0

'li2' seems to be considerably faster:

\t:10000 li 1 2 3
13
\t:10000 li2 1 2 3
6

There may well be a better way though
You can't run PID in a single iteration. The integration and differentiation parts would be 0 in any single iteration, and so it's quite PID control if you look at it that way.

The description of the algorithm doesn't make much sense in a single iteration either.

SE Asia is interesting to visit but staying there half a year in a chaotic country which likely will have persistant flooding during rain seasons, non potable water, random power outages and endemic corruption from taxi drivers to police demanding bribes everytime you drive gets annoying really fast if your goal is studying and not living the tourist-bro party lifestyle.

Not the OP, but some things I've seen:

- seller is using a realtor, so it doesn't matter whether the buyer is using a realtor or not.

- seller is locked into a 6% commission, whether or not you choose a realtor. So there's no way to get the 3% buyer's commission back as a rebate.
This. This is exactly how Red Hat makes money with open source. They straight up sell it to businesses.
Sorry but that's just naive from an american perspective. In the US if you get seriously hurt without health insurance you might just die. Politically it's not conceivable that we'll have UBI or pay people for not working. It's at the least a little controversial to pay UBI in most western countries. I see UBI as different than basic adequate social services so people don't live on the street or can get health insurance without it being tied to their job - the us is ridiculous in that way of course.

Street Performer Protocol means the source won't be released until the fund is raised. (It's work-in-progress, so I am not fundraising yet. It will probably be on Kickstarter with a demo to prove the thing is real.)
Another solution is just to wait until computers and networks are 100 times faster than they were 10 years ago, so that a page and its pieces load instantly. Oh, wait. That speed-up already happened, and yet websites are actually slower than they were 10 years ago. I guess there is no advance in hardware that software cannot overcome.
Not really. It's way harder (and therefore the barrier is higher, they'd be less likely to exist, etc) to develop cross platform native applications than it is to just implement them as webapps.

If it was just as easy to write and distribute native applications, we'd be doing that, instead of bolting it onto the web. But it's pretty clearly not.
OOBE occurs after this, the hardware identification phase is what takes the longest time.

I bought my house, at age 19 without the help of an agent, all the have to do is coordinate: home appraisal, home inspection, title company. If you can make 10 phone calls you can buy a house without an agent.
Email clients, word processors and video chat would be very much possible without Javascript.
The issue is more complex and nuanced than simply paying agents 6% commission and feeling you did not get your money's worth. One could argue that a lot of buyers agents and sellers agents are horrible at their jobs.

However, having met an exceptional agent, I would gladly pay this fee than deal with long term non-obvious issues that come with a property and then being upset with everyone involved in the purchase of the house. I don't think my "friends" know enough about what to look for in a house to recommend whether it is a good or a bad purchase for me. There's more to than just showing a property around to a buyer.

Also, all the marketing that a seller's agent does to sell the property, including renting furniture, artwork, presentation, print material, etc. is going out of that 3%. There's also an agency fee that the agent pays out of that 3%.

We couldn't test the furnace due to the gas being off when the inspector came.

I didn't think anything of it since I didn't know anything about furnaces but my realtor put an extra contingency in to get another inspection of it paid for by the seller. The closing was within 30 days and they never got around to it in the week or two left after the first inspection, once I signed it was just forgotten. Maybe it was my job to get them on top of it, but he should have at the least brought it up near the signing to postpone it a day and enforce the contingency.

I ended up replacing it the next year. It wasn't terrible for me since I moved in with extra cash ready for such things, but could have been very bad for someone else who put everything into the down payment.

There were other things he was on top of though. He got the seller to come back and fix some wiring that the inspection had missed free of charge on my part which was fantastic. Not a safety issue, just usability. I didn't like what some of the switches controlled so I know they had no obligation to do it. The company who remodeled my house sells a lot of houses around here, so I suspect he has a rapport with them.

Which is to say, about 99.9% of them. "Crash" in common parlance is understood to mean a glitch, that is, user-visible unintended behavior. If fewer user tabs glitch in that way, that means fewer crashes. User experience is what matters first and foremost.
> Having a real estate agent as a buyer can be extremely useful. ... handle negotiations ...

I'll never understand how anyone can think someone who get's paid only if you agree to a deal could have their best interests in mind.

Even the seller's agent generally have perverse incentives as pushing to close a deal for $N,000 more only get's them $N,000 x %C vs. losing 100% of it if the deal does not close.

How well does this work in practice?
First, congrats to everyone launching.

Second, existential crisis time.

I clicked the link and saw "Here are the 85+ startups that launched at YC’s W19 Demo Day 1" and closed the tab.

These used to be some of my favorite articles every six months, kind of a view into what's coming next. But they felt digestible, with a few dozen startups featured each time.

Now it feels like a fire hose.

I'm not convinced there's going to be a YC circa 2007-2012 ever again, but I miss that. Probably not how the ecosystem works anymore.

As a disclaimer, I do take full responsibility for my turning 30 a few years ago and going through a darker, cynical period of burnout that has likely permanently affected my outlook on startups.

How does Google/FB identify offensive content?
After the NZ shooting, Google/FB struggled to identify offensive content from YT. I am wondering what algo/system design has put in place to identify offensive content. It is not an easy

Additionally, how do they identify duplicate or content that is similar to something that has been flagged previously.
Thoughts?
They are applications. They run in a safe sandbox in the browser, rather than being all-powerful programs running directly on the system. They allow nuances of trust ("I trust this application with the data I'm giving it") rather than absolute trust ("I trust this application with access to my entire system and all my data").
I was going to write this comment but you did it already. ;)

Another common criticism of OSS goes along the lines of "it does not monetize value fully." In other words it creates value but the authors don't collect on it completely.

However, the same statement is true of proprietary software. Anybody who has sold proprietary products knows that what you recover is a fraction of the cost of your users doing it themselves. It might be a bigger fraction than OSS but not always--maybe you don't even get the sale in the first place because users are afraid of lock-in.

It's therefore quite misleading to think in terms of different economic models for OSS and proprietary-based businesses. There are more points in common than differences.
The thinking behind the Google business scenario is just annoying from a user's point of view, like they are shutting down Inbox and Allo for no good reason (http://bit.ly/2ThUGHX). When users are happy with something then why would you go for shutting down that thing?! It's not like you don't have the developers to run the thing.
Third grade me was told that partially hydrogenated vegetable oil (margarine, crisco, etc) was healthier for my heart vs other fats.

In this case - with "recycling" - they likely knew what was really going on - but because money - they sold us a bill of goods; though we happily went along with it, too.
