This, and the fact that they're a technical school by nature. Politics and business garners more news cycles than hard science, and hence skews peoples perception of the prestige of a university or success of their alumni. Look at the number of Nobel prizes per capita and Caltech blows Harvard out of the water. 17 Nobel prizes over 22k living alum for Caltech, versus 48 over 371k for Harvard. Even if you only look at financial success, CalTech still comes out ahead in both early and mid-career (https://www.payscale.com/college-salary-report/bachelors). They should try comparing to a state school with similar academic focus and ratings.

TL;DR: Small school focusing on low-visibility fields is a poor comparison.
Seems ironic to me that an administration that is openly hostile to LGBT rights is afraid of a gay dating app being used as blackmail material for their own clandestine gay Republican officials that are supposedly leading straight lives.
I agree with KozmoNau7 here, so many notions of constructing some system that will somehow weed out the "bad" ideas seems misguided in my opinion. The reason is that these systems necessarily treat all ideas as equal valid inputs by requiring anything be allowed. This is done when we have bountiful evidence to the contrary, evidence that fascism and racism lead to horrendous consequences if left to spread through disingenuous tactics and deception.

In fact, we humans already form a decent system for weeding out bad ideas/opinions, we just don't listen to our own past experiences on the matter. We found out that fascism is putrid and yet now we try to come up with a new system that will weed it out instead of just chucking it into the garbage bin and moving on.

It's not paternalistic or a dismal view of humanity or that "humanity cannot be trusted with such a dangerous idea", it's because the people advocating for it constantly lie about it and intentionally trick/indoctrinate others into following. Under the right circumstances of me growing up, I fully believe someone could have deceived me into believing it, so I don't think I'm better than anybody who got sucked in. We can trust in democracy as long as we take proper precaution against things that prey on the freedom of expression and association in order to remove those rights from others.

Put another way, what real benefit is there to "freedom of speech, except for advocating fascism" as opposed to "freedom of speech, no exceptions"? The US already doesn't have pure unrestricted free speech because there are exceptions made for outlier situations where free speech is not protected in efforts to secure the safety of others. That hasn't led to total collapse or censorship.
What really happens is they get a really expensive organic grocery store that can afford to pay the employees because of the margins.
Good point, but I'm not sure if fake market behavior (along with the direct exhortations to participation) directly maps onto fake real world behavior with no solicitation.

As a (somewhat ridiculous) counter example, suppose I know you, a trader, love tap dancing and I, also a trader, happen to be a skilled tap dancer. On Monday I show up outside your office and start tapping up a storm. You are unable to resist the sound of your favorite thing and rush out of your office to enjoy my performance. I return at the same hour Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and by then you are out on the sidewalk expecting me when I show up. Friday you leave your office as usual but you wait for me to show in vain, for I am in my office and taking advantage of your absence to make a big trade against you.

Have I defrauded you? You believed that I would show up to entertain you instead of competing against you in the market, and frankly I trained you to think so only to enrich myself at your expense.
And a lot of the time they leave University with a BS in Computer Science and can't find (code) their way out of a paper bag.
> self-plagiarism is not really a thing that anyone should care about

Sure it is. The entire methodology of schooling is to learn through exercise; if you are asked to write a paper, it isn't because the teacher wants the information in the paper. They are wanting you to learn through the act of writing the paper.

If you just turn in a paper you have written for another class, you are not doing that exercise.

Turning in a paper that you wrote for a different class and getting upset that the school doesn't approve is like thinking that sending a picture of you lifting weights 3 years ago is going to make you stronger.
Then they're too late.
Semi-related, my big hack in my instance's custom CSS was to substantially enlarge the Show More/Show Less buttons to make it a much easier target to tap/click, which makes it much easier to expand or recollapse a post.
Alternatively, ban non recyclable/biodegradable garbage. Make the suppliers take back refuse as condition for selling, no longer can suppliers think of the waste as externalised cost.

Quickly, distributor countries would solve garbage problem as every country returns plastic, metal, tires, etc that is not biodegradable/recycable. As we saw, some countries absolutely does not want to deal with the garbage from other countries that goods are shipped to. They know it costs so much to deal with that it's better for other countries to internalise the cost.

You would still have your plastic benefits and without worrying about the impact on environment.
I looked into the data. This would probably be under DRG 252, 253, or 254 (DRG 252 OTHER VASCULAR PROCEDURES WITH MAJOR COMPLICATION OR COMORBIDITY, 253 OTHER VASCULAR PROCEDURES WITH COMPLICATION OR COMORBIDITY, 254 OTHER VASCULAR PROCEDURES WITHOUT COMPLICATION OR COMORBIDITY)

Covered charges for 2016 ranged from ~$64,000 to ~$110,000, with ACTUAL average total payments ranging $13,000 to $26,000.

This article is using differences in purchasing power parity AND the difference in charges / actual payments to generate an eye-popping headline. At the actual data level, India is more expensive compared to the US.

I mean, this is a thing that happens. The malfeasance is pretty indefensible, but if you start talking about the employ-ability (or lack thereof) of people judged "incompetent" then we're going to start walking down a really dark path. It'd be nice if everyone was the perfect employee but some people have short tempers and some people are a bit less efficient than others - should these people (if they enjoy and are trained in software development) be unable to find employment because they fall short of a standard?

If so, how should they support themselves? Is it right and just to relegate everyone you judge incompetent (due to training or innate ability) as ineligible to work? There are obviously extremes here that we, as a society, accept - but if we raise that bar and make it more precise with big data some really scary social effects will come out of the woodwork.

Personally, I'm in the camp that we need to shift the morality and realism of working so that everyone has the safety net of a UBI to fallback on in desperate times because I am reading the tea leaves and fewer and fewer people have more and more control of the economy.
I don't think that small minority is as small as you might think. Life is full of uninsurable disasters.

The "good" news is that there are only a few years of retirement you really want to hang around for anyway (as opposed to a slow miserable death of dementia and other diseases). Seven years, for example. (67 to 75)

When I run out of money, I'm out.
At the same time, Ethiopian flew a copilot with (IIRC) 200 hours of total flight experience. This changes emergency CRM from "one person flies the airplane, the other diagnoses the problem" to "Captain flies the airplane, babysits the newbie, and attempts to diagnose the problem".

As for Ethiopian Airline's 'stellar safety record', comparing these two wikipedia pages [0] [1] they seem to have a similar (recent) safety record to Aeroflot. Yeah, Aeroflot's gotten better, but not that much better. (Ethiopian has two incidents that resulted in fatalities 2000-2018, discounting passenger hijackings - Aeroflot has one. Both have one "everyone on board" incident. And while I'm not sure about relative flight frequencies, Aeroflot has a fleet of 253 planes to Ethiopian's 112. For comparison, Delta has had 0 incidents resulting in fatalities since 2000 [2] on a fleet of 896. Same goes for United's fleet of 778 if you exclude hijackings - American (with a fleet of 962) had one non-hijacking incident in 2001) So I'm honestly not sure what people are talking about there.

A nice post about a really well built social community that got lost because most social media users crave Likes/attention.
I can tell you that all your points are good points and I don’t have a BUT neither :)
Facebook, insta and Whatsapp make it way too easy for people to use their platforms.
Most people take the easiest root and all their friends are there too.
For 5 years I’m trying to get people to stop using Whatsapp and step over to Signal. Everyone tells me, that they don’t know anyone on Signal. The same goes for G+
On G+ I had like 20,000 followers on
just one type of collection of photos. The people followed it because they where interested in the subject.

Facebook connects people and people are nosy, they want attention and want to see what others are doing. G+ didn’t have that.
Right, but that's exactly my point: having it in the filesystem doesn't help with actual day-to-day use cases, since you still have to reimplement it in the shell if you want it there.
It's not the pitch that is the problem, but instead the degree of pitch.

This particular aircraft had a tendency to pitch so badly they had to install a software workaround to automatically catered for the behavior.

And presumably it was so extreme they thought an automatic option was needed, out of fear the pilots on their own would not be able to handle the situation.
> It's not a simple thing to say this is "completely safe".

At those levels, yeah, yeah it is.

The biological half-life is about 70 days. There's also the issue of uptake. IIRC for 137Cs it is about 10%. So each time that radiation travels along that food chain only about 10% of 137Cs from food is taken up. You can see how fast that's going to dilute.
Smart money gets out at the top.
Ignoring pre-IPO mafia. For post-IPO this poses an interesting game theory question since all of those require a monopoly to succeed. Either you invest only on the winner, or lose money. there's probably no tie either, everyone invest in all of them, they all will crash and a new one might take the market.
As long it tastes right I am fine with such efficiencies. This is literally why sous vide were created. Precooked edible school lunches in bulk.
There are a few "side effects" I like about this: I do most of my casual computing on a Raspberry Pi, and this site loads fast and scrolls fast. So even if that wasn't your goal, it does seem to be rpi friendly. Very simple and uniform, with an interface that still looks good when you zoom in to 1 article per row.

The lack of competing ad scripts is refreshing - hopefully if you try to monetize this, you find a way to keep it this snappy.

Feature request: Either a config screen or a simple (hamburger style?) menu on the side to expand/contract subject sections. For example, a non-sporty fellow might rather not see all the football coverage, and lots of folks here might prefer to expand the technology, health and science sections.

Got this bookmarked and looking forward to see where this project goes.
That's perhaps the key point. I have engineering degrees (not CS) yet I work for a software tech company and do a lot of things that are much more about a broader liberal arts education and extracurricular activities than they are about specific technical courses I took. And, even when I did work as an engineer, it mostly wasn't in an area where I directly applied coursework.
I don't mean to be super negative but I don't see this going well.

They are losing a billion a year and have the worst self driving tech.

Their self driving tech is built on top of Baidu's open source platform and another open source platform with only 1 year of development with a huge team. A recipe for disaster.

They only have 1 year of development and scant few of their technical leaders - including their VP - worked in self driving before starting at Lyft.

I don't see how they survive.
I hope your friend is prepared to hang on through mid /next/ year, since that's when the employee lockup expires, assuming this company even exists at that point.

I make no claims on the reliability of the data.

I just tend to get a bit suspicious when problems are described as being particular to the US or worse in the US than in other places. I find that in many cases that is just not true. So I tend to poke around and see what I can see.
The BBC Sounds app is only available within the UK. You may be talking about the BBC iPlayer Radio app, which is the only one available outside the country.

It could take off for the same reason node.js took off: it's easy and simple to leverage your existing frontend codebase for backend use. Running the same webassembly directly in your backend environment may be easier than compiling to a different target and debugging the quirky differences.
Damn, I'm sorry I missed this.

My girlfriend introduced me to Set, which she loves. It's humbling to play with her and her siblings. They'll play "connected set" where they have to find TWO sets that share a card, when I'm playing basic Set. I can still only barely keep up.

How? Pointing your resolver to something returning whatever has been possible since DNS was invented. This changes nothing except that your ISP isn't able to read/change responses.
As a person who is mostly writing finance software I can tell that Go is not very well suited for any kind of rich application domain (which finance definitely is). OOP and Java + C# in particular have a very strong hold in finance. We can argue whether composition is an adequate substitute for inheritance, but the lack of generics is pretty much a non-starter.

Go works very well in domains with a well-defined and limited set of entities.

Yeah, instead we would have no solution at all and would just consider the higher amount of disease to be just a part of life. Homelessness isn't a new problem, it's simply one we don't do anything about. So these ideas of "we could do X to fix it" don't matter. We're not going to do them.
Not to mention I'd bet a smaller job like that results in less context and thus higher rates of mistakes.
I was working at a TV company. Literally the whole thing ran on a schedule - or a list to you and me. Accidentally derailed a £50m project by producing production ready software in days. Needless to say they no longer use such efficient tools.

So that's at one concrete use case for you! I'm sure we'll be seeing more pop up in the future, there's so much going on here.
Hasn’t Trump been in favor of LGBT rights? Also, why do you think Republican officials are clandestinely gay? Seems wrong to assume that about someone.
There’s one thing I find weird. There are very few, if any, resources that go beyond the simple “set up an observable, run through at most two transformations and at most two subscriptions”.

That’s where the vast majority of tutorials, blog posts and presentations end. And then you’re stuck with trying to implement a simple login flow, or reading data from a file, and... nothing really works, everything is overengineered and impossible to debug and trace.

In his book the author of RxJava openly admits it took him several months to grok reactive streams. And he was taught by the author of reactive extensions for dotnet.

Programming with reactive stuff is essentially async programming (never easy) where your data is handled, transformed in async blackboxes (hardly any implementation of Rx has a good way to observe, debug and trace data through them), and is delivered to sinks/subscribers in async manner.

And yet basically everything you find on the topic will cheerfully tell you how easy this stuff is, and present you with a toy code that fits on a screen.
should have thought of that. D'oh
> The only downside to this system (robots or technicians) is how will you ever get experienced doctors to do the hard stuff if they never get to practice doing the routine stuff first?

I think this argument applies to any kind of progress. As technology evolves, society loses skills, but the net benefit is hugely positive. Eventually, we don't even remember that the skills we lost were skills we once had. We get by.
I completely agree with what you wrote. I think too many people erroneously presume that free speech somehow guarantees an audience and acceptance, and when neither one happens then they feel their rights are being violated.

Personally, I feel there should be legal protections for all speech, but not protections from social ramifications. By this logic, I am totally fine with the idea of punching fascists. Which itself could be hit with assault charges, but then, how many juries would disagree with the reasoning for the violence? Let the masses decide for themselves, basically. It's what bothered me about the firing of James Gunn and Roseanne both despite their polar opposite politics. The companies that employed them cared so much about what the public thinks or feels that they couldn't be bothered to let the public decide for themselves to support either celeb or not. (And I know Gunn has since been rehired, but this happens so often, my point stands.)
Wouldn't it be too late for that? Presumably, the foreign government has up-to-the-minute data from Grindr, besides the decade of historical data up to this minute.

I assumed the concern is about future sensitive information.

> But I don't see anything that's stopping a GPU from efficiently computing THIS problem, especially if its restricted to 192-bit as the biggest number in the whole algorithm (worst-case 64-bit cubed).

Fair enough. Also thanks for the demonstration, it updates my understanding.

But still at some moment in the future, we may need a general big-number algorithms for calculation due to the inevitable expansion of search space. There is no guarantee that unsolved
k's, says 100 < k < 200, can be found in min(|x|,|y|,|z|) <= 192 bit.

> But THIS sum-of-three cubes problem looks like an easier job than most algorithms to me.

Good luck and I'm looking forwards to any updates.
A really key piece of information missing from that algorithm is your relationship with the people posting. Sure, an algorithm could infer that, but right now they're terrible at it. Why not just let people specify their relationship and how often they want to see content from someone? Facebook's problem from a user perspective is that the ideal social network for users looks nothing like the ideal social network for maximum profitability, which is what they're trying to build. FB's only hope for the future is to use marketing to convince people that they actually want its brand of dystopia.

Disagree. Smart money is probably already out. There’s no guarantee you can accurately define when the top is. Fortunes are lost when people think they can.
A fun lession in dilution:

Logan Green and John Zimmer, the co-founders of Lyft, will each have about $500M in stock at $72.

(Edit: I miscalculated the holdings of the cofounders at $85M because I didn't account for their class B shares. However, I think my point still stands for the most part).

Google holds $900M in Lyft stock. A16Z holds $1B in Lyft stock. GM and Fidelity have $1.3B. Rakuten Europe has $2.2B.

$500M is certainly a life-changing outcome, but it's interesting how we value the capital that those companies put in far more than we value the years of work those two put in.

Edit 2: To be clear, this isn't a complaint in any way. What A16Z and Google and the rest did for Lyft is highly valuable and worthy of compensation.

This is simply a commentary on the relative value of capital vs labor.
Been there and done that, it is key to manage expectation with both companies AND yourself. Make sure every assignment is very well thought out and planned, try to minimize long meetings by doing more small ones asking stuff like : what was achieved yesterday, what will we achieve today, and do I need help from anyone?.

Make sure to get rest and definitely try to scale your operation and avoid moving work to weekends because it will get out of control very fast. I made the mistake of taking more than i could chew and had to let go one of my clients because I was so tired i couldn't keep the quality of my work just as I wanted to.
How many times has a unittest saved your day?
How much time is spend on writing unit tests compared to receiving the bug and fixing it. All i hear around me is, the screen must be green so all unit tests have been successfully processed. When a unit test fails and the dot is red, 99% of the time they have to fix the unit test and not the actual code, I understand when you use unit test to workout your problem, but most of the time its the unit test that fails and not the code.

I'm not sure if it's still true, but that was a development that occurred in the mid-to-late 2000s. Before then financial aid was aimed at poor students. But if your family was middle class, you'd get virtually nothing (but loan options).

I know several people who attend UIUC with me who got accepted to MIT, Stanford, etc, but their parents couldn't afford private school.

But by the time my sister went to school, all the elite schools offered better terms.
