- real tech stack (not what you aspire to in the long run but what is currently running in prod and what I will have to work with)

- typical day of an engineer

- mission of the company, why is your product useful? who does it help and how?

- reasonable requirements list vetted by technical person (seeing stuff like 5 years experience with language tool that is few years old is a red flag)

Even simple things like not being able to charge random fees makes it much easier to compare two or more properties on level terms.
Guns placed like fire alarms (Break glass for gun)? While it may sound absurd, it does follow the principle that there are more good people than bad. If one bad apple arises, finding the next gun to neutralize said apple would be pretty easy.

Furthermore, the demarcation between what it can handle and what it cannot is neither simple nor clear. As this case shows, you can be bowling down the sort of highway it is supposedly suitable for, yet suddenly come across something it cannot deal with - and maybe something it did negotiate successfully in the past.

We have analyzed the case and can confirm that there has been an error in the packing process of software in a single batch of a telephone model, which by mistake attempted to send activation data to a foreign server. The data was never processed and no personal information was shared with third parties or authorities.

This has now been fixed and almost any device affected by this error has now installed the update. HMD Global takes the safety and privacy of our customers seriously.

> The problem comes from people who have no business in the vote, no knowledge of the issues, are not even aware of what biases are, and drink the propaganda kool aid.

Of course, that's always the other people...

> Well first off London only strives because of international financial businesses

London isn't the UK and "international" doesn't mean "about the EU-27".

> Since the vote Brexit cost the UK much more than what they contribute to the EU

Laughable nonsense.

> they export/import ~50% of their good to/from Europe

So does Iceland. Is it broke yet?

> Time will tell, what I'm convinced of is that Brexit was sold on lies

I rest my case about irrational voters... It's also quite pointless to turn every discussion into a superficial pro/con Brexit argument.

Smoking/Drinking/Gambling restrictions are directed to protecting those vulnerable. This is not the same cross-section of civically motivated 18 year olds. Age barriers are the most efficient, + most politically correct tool the government has in regards to demographics.
One problem with the argument that "the only thing stopping a bad man with a gun is a good man with a gun" is that "good" and "bad" people exist on a different axis than "people who can be trusted with guns in a crisis."

You have a point there, firearms and the idea of "you can take my gun when you pry it from my cold dead hands" is deeply ingrained in the American psyche. I also think about those instances where we've had frightening scenarios of confiscation, such as Katrina. There's also the distrust of citizens in the government to both protect them, and protect their civil liberties, and freedom.

Recently I heard a quote that might add some to this discussion: The police are there to protect the government and society, not you. So if we put that together and apply it to this issue, without a gun of your own, you're left dependent upon the police who may not protect you, per se, but they will protect civil order and the government. Who decides what that civil order is?

I don't know the answer either but I accept the responsibility as a gun owner to come to the table, and find a solution.
It depends what part of "a city's soul" you choose to look at; and how stable your city's long term rental market is.

The local bands, and dances full of pretty single people? Mostly young people have the time and inclination for that, and they're less likely to be homeowners as you say.

But the volunteer coach of the children's football team, or the people who organise the annual artists' open studio? You can't take those sorts of responsibilities if you're moving away in a year or two, you'd almost be handing it over to someone else before you'd finished having it handed over to you!

Of course, hypothetically there's no reason a person renting a house can't rent it for 5 years or more - just in my country, that's rarely how it works out.
This is the first post I've seen that states the definition of a CI correctly.

Another note: 'confidence interval' typically refers to the frequentist meaning, whereas 'credibility interval' is used in the Bayesian setting, when describing an interval of the posterior with 95% probability (which is arguably more interpretable). The usages of the two terms do not seem to generally be strict, however.
I feel the same way. I found a nice Hy LSTM demo that uses TensorFlow and had fun playing with that. I did another night of hacking around with Hy and put it in the ‘really interesting, revisit later’ category.
At best this will do nothing, at worst the unintended consequence is a spike in rental prices. The root of the problem is supply and demand, and they're not willing to look at that. Increasing supply means highrises and more building permits, and reducing demand means restricting immigration, both highly toxic subjects.
I've always felt these were just "rage honeypots" - allow the slacktivism a place to be vented to make people feel like they're doing something, with no action required by anyone in power.

The idea that you espouse in that California exhibits government overreach and wasteful spending is exactly what I'm talking about.

California has been extremely budget constrained ever since the Prop 13 passed in 1978. They've been fighting against that ever since. Your very words shout this ingrained bias. "wasteful spending" and "government overreach"... I think you mean "provide services" and "regulation."

I lived a great deal of my life in California and now live in Germany. The difference in people's relationship with the government and taxes is palpable.

Life Lessons from Epsilon Greedy
Howdy folks,

Started writing this blog post out of my notes on a lecture I gave on the Epsilon Greedy algorithm at the Microsoft Reactor here in Sydney last year. Long story short, the post ended up being something quite different from the original lecture notes but believe that hopefully the form it ended up being is more valuable.

The title of the the post is not what it seems and would really like to hear any feedback / criticism the community has to offer on this one.

Anyways, here it is:

Offline restraining orders can't really be enforced either. In fact, according to a public health study, all the value came from asking for the order (basically scaring the perpetrator) - actually being granted one was not found to provide additional benefits.
Can Gamers really be boiled down to such a homogeneous group though? I think many of the younger fortnite console gamers already have very different views from your average young/middle aged adult on steam.

Stadia doesn't have to steal all of steam's userbase to be able to reach critical mass for their own userbase and videogame streaming seems like a logical next step (like music and video streaming were) if a good UX can be provided (and I think they're aware of latency concerns and would not enter this market if they thought it unfeasible to provide a good gaming experience).

I want to highlight that part:

"Participants using laptops are more likely to take lengthier transcription-like notes with greater verbatim overlap with the lecture"

In other words, there is nothing intrinsically wrong with taking notes on a laptop if you don't copy everything verbatim. If you force yourself to process the material you should have no problem.
So what happens on March 30th if it is not revoked? Nine days from now is truly the point of no return?
It isn't about pride, it's about self-determination, a concept deeply rooted in American culture. Part of being responsible for one's self is being responsible for one's own defense. Lord knows the police are not fast enough, or brave enough for that matter, to protect us anyway. Americans look at the kind of thing that happened in France, where people waited to be executed in a theater, and they say to themselves "I'll go down fighting, thanks". Whether that's a realistic thing to prepare for or not, that is the mindset. We have a significant aversion to being helpless and relying on the state.

1. It is not the most popular option in polling. Right now it is to remain in the EU.

2. The idea that it has no greater cost than the options is ridiculous. UK Treasury and economists from all around the world have all come to the conclusion that a hard brexit is significantly more harmful than a soft brexit. And it's common sense since it imposes trade friction on the UK's largest trading partner.

Ask HN: Company is firing all employees – should I still exercise my options?
About 2.5 months ago I left my executive position at a promising blockchain startup. As I am nearing the end of my 90 day period for option exercising, i've come to know that the company sent out prior notice to all employees a few days ago, as it is struggling to raise money. All 3 founders are at work trying to raise capital in the upcoming month before money runs out and they are also planing on continuing to do so after all employees leave.
On one hand, I am very hesitant to exercise because of the current status. On the other hand, the company has a remarkable product (which they might decide to sell) and the industry is still very much in it's diapers, meaning there is tons of true potential.

i have a lot of faith in the founders but the recent news really threw me off. Would love to hear your thoughts!

More information:
-Company size: 15 employees
-Exercise price: $20 (679 options/2.3% of the company)
-Company raised from several VC's and also via ICO.
-I still hold company's digital currency.
-Status: recently launched product (fully functional) after 1.5 years of development with very few customers but high growth rate.
You opened this up to a larger discussion - but you are essentially correct. These problems aren't really problems if you decide to act. However, at least in the U.S., acting seems to cost money.
So what would count as a genuinely popular revolution? I'm always reminded of Orwell's view:

'Cyclically, the Middle deposed the High, by enlisting the Low. Upon assuming power, however, the Middle (the new High class) recast the Low into their usual servitude. In the event, the classes perpetually repeat the cycle, when the Middle class speaks to the Low class of "justice" and of "human brotherhood" in aid of becoming the High class rulers.'

Shame that the CTA of e.g. the German Wikipedia is so weak: "Kontaktieren sie ihre Abgeordneten " (translted: contact your representative) which links to https://www.europarl.europa.eu/meps/de/home.

Besides the site being super slow right now, I couldn't even figure out how to actually find _my_ representative. Is my representative the one of the city where I live? How can I search by city? Is this even by city? Doesn't seem so. So now I have a list of 96 random people. Which ones can actually influence this? Or which one actually need their opinion changed?

I also wouldn't really know how to contact them - just send an email and write that I hate that the make so bad politics that Wikipedia had to shut down their site in protest?

Politics is hard :/
I'd love this to happen.

Sadly, though, this says more about the infrastructure of the petitions website, than it does the will of the people.
You poor soul, come home! Joking aside it's still too early to see the effects of the new tenancy. I suspect it'll make properties harder to get for less attractive tenants and that there'll need to be incentives for landlords to take on such tenants in future. Probably still a net positive but we'll see.
Other than the allure of forbidden fruit I don't see what you actually lose by not drinking, smoking or gambling for those 2 formative years.
Generalists are also often in danger of RIFs and layoffs, because for any task X a company values at time T, there's always an employee Q who can do X better than generalist G.

But on the flip side, they seem to be able to bounce back better than specialists.
I think that makes sense in the context of a collectivist culture. Well, more sense than in a fiercely individualistic culture like USA.
I agree that most such policies are naive or populist and won't achieve their actual objectives, but...

The default supply-demand dynamic doesn't generally apply to urban real estate. Supply is very slow to react to market changes, and is limited by all sorts of things that aren't price. In a lot of cities, prices (within reason) don't really affect supply at all.

First, building takes time and houses last a long time, so supply is unlikely to grow by more thana couple of % pa. Second, most of the space is taken and/or limited by planning, not price. Changing planning policies and improving transport is what actually gets a city with 250k houses to 300k.

Often, you'll find that people don't actually want the city to change/grow much and prevent it politically

The upshot is that is a supply-insensitive-to-demand market (the opposite of the cocaine market, economics teachers like for examples). If demand goes up, prices go up. Supply stays about the same. The inverse is that if price is held artificially low, this doesn't really dampen supply much.

Imagine manhatten house prices doubled tomorrow. How much extra housing do you think this would lead to?

All that said, this sounds like cheap politics. Developers complaining? That's probably a political point in amsterdam. It tick the do something box. Upper middle class people will get their new house a little cheaper (less competition). The new neighborhoods will be more middle class (and ethincally dutch), because owner occupiers tend to be these things. The rental market will be marginally tighter, as this grows the own/rent ratio a little.
That's a really terrible way to run a statistical study.
Given how close the vote was and how chaotic the execution of the outcome has been the site will likely revive a lot of traffic.
Of course recommended reading on capitalism's effects on culture and thought are the works of Adorno and Horkheimer, and Marcuse - who seems to have fallen a little out of favor but his work is as important as it was in the 60s.
> The reason that prices are going up is because a lot of people want to spend a lot of money for the real estate

Hum. No. People don't want to spend a lot. But the whole system is built so owners can extract rent either from rentals or from buyers to which banks will lend enough money to meet the seller's price.
It's funny because this could be used as an argument for either side. People who are frustrated that buying a home is too expensive because investors want to buy them to rent would also want ownership of their home (that they rent).
Seriously anyone who thinks the Brexit referendum was democratic or fair is either ignorant or naive.

And it's scandalous that the UK government hasn't properly invested everything that came out of the Cambridge Analytica scandal.
The "M68" name is interesting, given that Apple has a long history with the M68K processor, which isn't involved here. I wonder if it's a nod to the first Mac or the Lisa.
How so? In our case, the police are the good people you describe. The question is, would there be more net good people with access to guns, when placed everywhere, or more bad people? It's a thought experiment.
There is a major hurdle in getting people to install their own servers though.
