I'm interested in a cross section between technology, business, and machine learning - particularly interested in Industry 4.0, failure events prediction, image classification, object detection. Love building products. Looking for a hands-on tech leading position.
> an addictive time-suck that eats money for nothing in return.

You just described mountaineering, rock climbing, skiing, running a marathon, skydiving, surfing, scuba diving, and just about every other amateur athletic pursuit.
I don't know; I had no deadlines at the pretty successful biomedical device company I was at and was plenty motivated to work a lot of hours. Do y'all not have managers that ask what you've done for the week? I mean, that's what always pushed me to work very hard; I'd feel terrible if I had little to show for 40 hours of work.
My point if if you want wordpress ecosystem but don't want the associated risk, there are many ways to generate static websites from a wordpress installation. You can run wordpress locally in your local development computer and only host the generated static html in your server/hosting provider.
> politicians in the West excel at exploiting fear and jealously to obtain more authority, divide and conquer.

I don't think that's a trait unique to politicians in the West, and in fact I'd say that Western politicians tend to exploit fear and jealousy less than those in the developing world. You've got ethnic cleansing going on in Myanmar, ethnic and religious conflict in Kashmir, and the extrajudicial killings of drug dealers and users in the Phillipines, to name a few instances.
Really interesting results and analysis, but small nit:

> there is about 70MB of source code currently in CockroachDB 19.1, and there was 50MB of source code in CockroachDB v1.0. The increase in source was just ~140%

That's a 40% increase, not 140%. This happens on all percentage calculations throughout the article.

That said, super interesting discovery.
I'm assuming it is more of an industrial type location.

But yeah the decision to do it that close is interesting.

All those farms have the potential to become wilderness with urban farming, lab meat etc. In Ireland there is a 3rd type of rural where every man and his dog has built an eyesore of a house on their carefully manicured 1 - 5 acres of land. You can pretty much drive the country long and wide and never not be able to see a house like this (except in the designated nature reserves).

I'm ok with smaller towns and cities as long as they are very high density. They tend to sprawl however.
>Microphones are used in a lot of places to figure out and triangulate the location of a gunshot.

Apparently, those don't work too well.

Spotshotter works in principle, but police departments are getting as low as 50% false positive rates, and can't really do anything if they do get reports of gunshots anyway - they turn up and the shooter is gone.

They distort the prices of both soy products and meat, but not by equal proportions - the reduction depends on the distribution of cost components.

Say it takes 50 cents' worth of soy and 50 cents' worth of other expenses to produce $1 worth of beef, and it takes 90 cents' worth of soy and 10 cents' worth of other expenses to produce $1 worth of meat substitute. If the effective price of soy falls by 10% due to subsidies (and other costs remain the same), the cost of beef will fall by 5%, while the cost of meat substitute will fall by 9%.
> There was no international order before ww2.

There had been two successive world orders before WWII. The first emerged at the 1815 Congress of Vienna and ended with WWI. The second was created after WWI and ended with WWII.

To any US citizen who is interested in fixing immigration - regardless of what they mean by it - I would recommend going to the official government websites for US and Canada that describe the various available paths, and just going through what's there for the immigrants. Pretend you want to try this or that out, they usually have stuff there like eligibility tests etc. It'll give you a much better picture - of the present, and the possibilities - than anything you'll ever see in mainstream American news on the subject.

As long as the websites that request the permission have a legitimate reason to show notifications, a dialog is actually a good idea - it makes it easy for users to enable notifications, whereas a toolbar button would be easy to miss. If browsers had anticipated every random news site asking to show notifications, I imagine it would have been designed differently.

Better to leave natural habitat on that land rather than clear-cutting forest for grazing land, as happens so much these days and in the past. Better food production efficiency means less forest razed which is a significant win.
I definitely like 1 big monitor. My company recently went from 2 27” inchers at each desk to 1 34” curved monitor. I like the 34” much better, since there aren’t bezels anymore!

Where in the U.S. Are You Most Likely to Be Audited by the IRS? – ProPublica
The Reader is independent and the UT is corporate-owned, but on the other hand, the Reader is not really much of a news outlet. Its role in the local ecosystem is kind of halfway between PennySaver and Reader's Digest. They're not dishonest, but they're not shelling out for top-notch reporters either.
Good work from Mozilla, but it won't help prevent those sites that pop up a HTML modal asking you to subscribe by email AND then a few seconds later pop up another HTML modal asking to send you notifications to keep you up to date AND then sliding in something from the bottom with "relevant" posts AND maybe also slide something else in from the top or sides with some other thing that just ends up blocking the content you're actually interested in reading....
Micnncim/Yreq: Concurrently Send Multiple HTTP Post Requests by JSON Using YAML
Making the "Never Allow" button directly accessible is a big win.
I almost wonder if sites are hoping people will enable notifications by accident, and then read the content after getting notified. I know at least a few people who've clicked the "allow" button by mistake, and then couldn't figure out how to turn the notifications off.
Show HN: AnswersEngine – A flexible web scraping platform for Ruby devs
Hello, I'm a co-founder here. I've recently built a web scraping platform for Ruby developers. It is intended to solve the pain points of what I've experienced over the years of doing web scraping for my clients.

Things that are just a hassle to do, are already taken care of:

Proxy and user agent randomization, so that you don't get banned easily.

Parallel scraping, that allows you to scrape at scale.

Page Caching. Imagine your scraper already runs for several days, and it fails.... would you rather re-download the pages all over again? or would you rather just parse from the cache?

HTML parsing using Nokogiri, and/or any other gem.

A pretty granular RESTful API, so that you can integrate it with your app.

Currently, it's in Beta. Feel free to join. I'm giving away $100 free credits, so that you guys can test it out. Any feedback, is greatly appreciated.
I was hesitant about getting a 43" but 40" displays are quite rare. The model I'm looking at is actually 42.5" (104 dpi) so I doubt it hardly matters (especially with subpixel antialiasing).
I'm slightly baffled by the difference, though, as some other laws are not enforced. For instance, the case where directors of a tyre manufacturer were forcibly taken hostage and physically abused by the workers. Normally, you'd send in the police, arrest hostage-takers and give them long imprisonment.
Sounds great. It's impressive to see just how far the industry has come, and what's in store for the future. Hopefully it'll be available near me at some point, but even in the last 5 years, the vegetarian alternatives have come a long long way (i.e. not just one menu item any more).
These strict protocols would normally be called warrants.
You still can't compare the ease of an access. It is like Google+click to read the article vs emailing authors for every article you want to read. At least that would decrease reading efficiency of the related research, at most - reduce the coverage of the studied material, just because it would require substantial amount of time, compared to direct click. That, in turn, might reduce the percentage of ideas that came during reading others' articles. Think of Sci-Hub as a hypertext engine for science. You copy DOI, you press the Enter, and you are reading an article.

It doesn't work like that. Hashes aren't compressed versions of the hashed content.
The difference is that roadways allow anyone to stop whenever and wherever they need to, while a railway requires stations to be strategically placed.

Two major cities with high traffic between them can seem ideal but still not work out because people need effective last-mile transport too, and they have other places where they want go that requires a car.
First, life is about continuous improvement in relation to yourself, not to anybody else. We all have people who are succeeding more than us, and who are doing worse than us. The question is, are you content, identifying why or why not, and making adjustments until you are content. Notice I use the word content, not happy, because 100% happiness all the time is not only impossible, but also not healthy.

So let's assume that you are not content with your current living situation, and that computing is something you're passionate about. There isn't enough information here to give you anything more than general advice. We'd need to know the details of your resume, including your skill set and work history.

Generally the foot in the door is a good resume submitted as much as possible, with cover letters that make you seem interested and passionate. However, you said:

"I can't interview well enough to get past that filter"

which makes me thing you are getting interviews, but not passing initial phone screenings. This is something that can be fixed, and has no bearing on your intelligence. Rather, you need to commit and train, just like you would if you wanted to get fit. You need to:

1. Figure out which positions you're actually interested in.
2. Break each position down into component skills and requirements.
3. For each skill, determine a path to mastery.
4. Start training each one of those skills, committing time each day proportional to the skills importance in the interview.

You should probably be reading at least one or two technical books at all times, and doing some daily coding.

You should also start training for the interview itself. Focus on:

1. How you present yourself. Are you relaxed, attentive, groomed, friendly, eager?
2. Giving a good answer to every question, even if the answer is incomplete. Say "I think it works like" or "I could imagine it would work like", don't get angry or frustrated or say "I don't know".
3. Read cracking the coding interview and practice Hackerrank questions or using a similar site. Do this at least for one hour every night. Don't get frustrated and quit. You need to build the muscle.

Do all of this until you get the job. There is no timeframe, and don't engage an interview until you feel over-prepared. The key is not intelligence, but commitment and determination.
Personally, I admire the fact that openSUSE polishes KDE and GNOME (Xfce4 as well) pretty well, satisfying details, really makes the effort to make the distro more user friendly and easy to use. However, I wouldn't use it as personal workstation distro (I currently run Arch Linux and Fedora 29, I wouldn't mind running Manjaro, Kubuntu/Xubuntu or Debian).

I have been under the impression that SUSE has kept changing ownership since Novel took over (then Attachmate, merger with Micro Focus, now sold), never settled, it's simply a a risk to many businesses running Linux with commercial support.

During my tenure with Citrix (XenServer team), the product team made a big decision to switch dom0 (not just the kernel) from SLES 11 (I could be wrong about the release) to CentOS 7, which I personally thought was the right move. Don't want to talk about XenServer rebrand and what happened to the free edition here (simply search xcp-ng as alternative).

NOTE: In the past 11 years working in Australia, I have never seen a single production system running on SLES (I've seen Gentoo though). Above doesn't mean openSUSE/SLES isn't a great Linux distro.
It's not just border cities. I came back from a business trip to Memphis and were shocked to see blue lights blinking on top of street light poles [0] almost everywhere specially in poorer areas, they are cameras recording audio and video 24/7 installed by the city to deter potential crime.

A do appreciate that browsers provide a standard way to ask for these permissions. For instance, I deny most of the "know your location" queries, but it is not infrequent that I do wish to use a Web service that asks to know where I am.

Pop-up is a bad way, the above proposal for (admittedly some more clutter) buttons in address bar is better.
On a side note - there are a ton of EMR startups, but do any implement a doctor/provider-friendly UI w/ some sort of native or web interface, that meets some minimum amount of HHS/medicare bullet points? Something designed to make writing a H&P or SOAP note (a typical clinical document describing a visit) as easy as possible?

We use Allscripts and (when it's actually up and not crashing), it's painful to even type in the thing...the lag is so bad. Data support is terrible, and the thing suffers from "too much UI" syndrome in that to add any information requires too much button clicking to open dialog/selector boxes in a UI/architecture that clearly can't support it. (let's put it this way, they make you use Internet Explorer to launch some Active X app that fires up Remote Desktop into their app which runs on some underpowered instance of Windows Server 2003 or something)

At this point I'd settle for something that shows the letters on the screen right when I type them...
The SEC deals with all trading irregularities and violations, not just insider trading.

The rules aren’t there just because Lyft wants to be mean, they’re there because regulations require it and also because one of the guiding principles is “no perception of insider trading”. That means you have to avoid behaviors that might look like insider trading.

A current or recent insider using hedging is very suspicious looking. What do they know?

When I left Netflix I was warned that I needed to wait at least three months before making any trade other than buy. And I was still restricted to the employee trading window for six months.

Not easy to get on.

The first month of antidepressants is hell, since you're compounding depression or anxiety with the nausea of the onset symptoms. Risk of suicide increases considerably in that first month or so.

There's some recent research that due to the onset effects, the surveys of the patient's well being at the 8 week and 12 week marks are inaccurate or even useless, since it's really hard to objectively measure your state of mind compared to before you started.

Exactly what is this supposed to mean? It's a "standard"? So what? Lots of bad things have been standardized. You have to justify the work on the merits; you can't simply appeal to IETF standardization as intrinsically good. TLS Heartbeat was a standard, and it was not intrinsically good.
> It may lift the fog of depression and allow one to feel happiness.

Well if removing pain isn't happiness. It was for me. At least I don't think any more of how killing yourself is only a problem because of the people that will stay alive and suffer because of your suicide.

Analytical Flavor Systems | Manhattan - NYC | Full-Time | Onsite | http://www.Gastrograph.com/ Positions: Full-Stack Engineer, Data Scientists, R&D Product Formulator / Scientist
Overview: Gastrograph AI is an artificial intelligence platform for modeling human sensory perception of flavor, aroma, and texture to predict consumer preferences of food & beverage products. We help food and beverage companies develop new products, enter new markets, and optimize their existing brands. We're a diverse 12 person post Series-A startup.

Application & Data Stack: Javascript, React & React Native, Java, GraphQL, Spark, R, postgres/MySQL, AWS

The Position(s)

_Data Science_: We didn't build a data science team to optimize our product's marketing spend, sales funnel, or client retention – we built a data science team to build our product. Our Data Science team develops new models and algorithms from scratch to make second-order inference on sparse data sets from non-representative samples that generalizes to the underlying target population. We rely on cutting edge models such as persistent homology, PU Learning, and metric learning to make predictions on non-eucldian human sensory data. We don't use tensor flow or pandas or keras as they are not a good fit for our problem space. We prefer a deep understanding of math and stats VS experience running logistic regressions in Python. (but we're cool with Python / Logit / experience)

_Engineering_: (1) full stack engineers with experience with React, GraphQL, and React Native to work on our web app for clients and our mobile app for tasters. (2) Data-Engineers with experiance in micro-batch processing for machine learning pipelines.

Next Steps: please contact Jason Cohen at JasonCEO@Gastrograph.com to apply.
I may chime in with another story. I‘m teaching operating systems at university and use these skills (for small numbers, and written multiplication/division for slightly larger ones) all the time. My general consensus after overseeing a few hundred students is that those that are unable to quickly do simple math in their head also struggle with the rest of the curriculum. Especially if they need a calculator for computing 57:2 everybody gets distracted and we have like 2 minutes idle time while everybody starts entering the equation. I’d rather spend my time teaching actual os stuff, it’s a shame enough that I have to teach how to decimal <-> binary <-> hexadecimal base conversion.

If the above tweet were closer to the line, maybe we could split hairs on the issue. But it seems like clear cut transphobia to me.

At work, I use a 27" 4k display front-and-center with a 15" MBP on the side (makes Slack less noticeable).

At home, I've been using a 28" 4k display with sometimes a laptop display on the side (other times just a desktop driving the display).

As an experiment, I just ordered an LG 43UD79-B (43" IPS monitor) to replace my 28" and also serve as my entertainment. Previously I had a 32" TV and a 50" in another room. I got a lot of good feedback[0]. I'll try mostly just using the middle of the screen with a window manager that makes it easy to do.

Because some people - myself included - like the taste of meat, and would only choose the veggie version for environmental (or economic) reasons if the taste were basically the same.
