For the most part, yes.

In general, my doing something that I want to do for free is different (usually) from you asking me to do a job that you want done for free.

Now, of course, there can be exchanges that don't involve money changing hands. Perhaps part of the deal is that I get into a concert (or whatever) for free and that may be perfectly reasonable. I do attend events on media passes on the (implicit) condition I'll publish a story about some aspect of the event.
What a bad headline, it's the AI ethics board specifically.
That's exactly what I think's happening, what you're doing is what a lot of people are doing.

what will be interesting is, say there's a genuine market rout (e.g. what happened with Lehmans), which should depress stocks definitely in the sector, but also in the wider market.

If all the money from the passively managed funds just stays put, will the stocks basically not take much of a hit?

Of course if it gets bad enough for companies to go broke, that could go wrong for the passively managed crowd as they'll stay in there till the end, most likely.
I agree wholeheartedly. I expect much of her audience is carrying credit card debt at 25% -- if you can change your subconscious habits to save $1000/year you stand a much better chance of getting back above water.

Redo the calculations from a perspective of 20%+ interest, occasional late fees, the impact on your credit score & your mental health, and now skipping a latte makes a lot more sense.
Yeah, great. Third time this story has appeared on the front page in the past 24 hours.

Yes, multiple sources report the same thing. Reuters, Vox, BBC. They all said the same thing.

Thanks for the reminder.
I skimmed through your PDF. It's very exhaustive and all-encompassing.

But what really got me excited was that you had included 2 of Steven Pinker's books in your "Suggested References". Few weeks ago, I was going over the Wikipedia entry this book by Steven Pinker - "A Sense of Style", and wondering if it has any implications on linguistics.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sense_of_Style

So, my question to you is, does "The Sense of Style" bears any NLP-relevant context in it?

Thanks for such an awesome PDF :) Can't wait for my day to end!

> Where do our sexual preferences come from and how flexible are they?

Reminder that porn companies (including mindgeek) have a vested interest in diversifying sexual needs. I suspect that they are trying to open new market segments by pushing more and more extreme videos to the public, thus creating demand by force of repetition. They want to manipulate your most intimate urges and call it progressive. Back in November xhamster went as far as to declare that "Nofap had its roots in anti-gay, anti-woman, anti-semitic blogs", so it must be wrong /s. However Nofap was actually founded in 2011 on reddit based on thousands of young people reporting symptoms now associated with porn addiction. There's an increasing amount of evidence that prolonged exposure to porn is deeply unhealthy. https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/research/

Pornography is also a powerful political tool. I don't have enough time to write a full comment. But If you're interested, the rabbit hole starts here: http://www.psywarrior.com/sexandprop.html A fascinating overview of World War 2 leaflets.

What application/use-case really require a lower than sub-second(what we already have) latency? I can only think of cloud gaming. Are we betting future on cloud on just gaming?
Anyone know of a "reader" app for books that does something similar?

(Totally getting this though---I might not be sold on the Netflix stuff but in general this plugin seems invaluable to me at this point in my Russian skills).
Sure. But it is still easy to change phones.

You can buy/sell it on eBay. Or next upgrade cycle change brands.
When I was younger I walked to work in the big city and there was a great coffee shop on the way and every single day I bought a $4 extra large soy chai latte. It was fantastic and an exclusive secret recipe to that non-chain shop. Back then a normal coffee cost $1, so this was a splurge. Inflation adjusted that would be $6-7 these days. I regret nothing, though I did feel uncomfortable sometimes spending so much.

My next job there was no comparable coffee shop and I was driving to work. So I reconstructed by experimenting with spices until I exactly duplicated the original. Then I made the base in batches and would have some all week long, a week's worth was $3 in fairly pricey spices in bulk and $3 in soy, so $1.20 a day.

I later dropped soy from my diet and got more interested in espresso, cappuccino and cafe au lait with various non-dairy non-soy whiteners. By this time I had a $30 espresso machine and a grinder. I've replaced both a couple times. Sometimes I try a commercial coffee, but my own is better. And I'm OK with one big coffee a day, more than that I get too wired and can't think as well. Cost now is around 50 cents a day including everything such as prorated equipment costs.

$5 lattes from a store every day is fine if you can afford it. But it does add up. And some folks that buy such things also treat themselves to lots of other things that they don't prepare themselves, whether avocado toast, movies, cable TV, delivered water, on demand fashion, always having the very latest iPhone, car leasing, or whatever.

Being aware of these costs and keeping track of them can help. If one is not investing well for retirement then they should start looking at all these little expenses, not just the big expenses.

I'm very well off now and can afford to buy all the $5 lattes I want but I don't buy any lattes at all these days. When I was poor I bought a lot of them. There's not really a connection between the two but there could be for some.
Are you crazy? I explicitly dislike ruby because I feel it encourages everyone to make their own DSL like bullshit wrappers everywhere - Leading to a million and a half ways to do anything and everything.

While I don't use it often, I feel like GoLang at least vaguely tried to adopt a "single solution" approach to language design. They keep the standard library as compact as possible, and formatting is non-optional with gofmt.
>... because they ignore facts for attention...

The Heritage Foundation literally falsified studies to go after LGBT people and claim they are unfit to have children. This isn't just about being ignorant of the facts or having behavior that proves you to be unqualified. This is about being completely counterproductive to the goals of the committee. That is exactly like having a flat-Earther on a space exploration committee. Furthermore, this inane argument about intellectual diversity to have ignorant people on an expert panel applies just as well to flat-Earth believers as it does to the Heritage Foundation.

>...rational people can have the same inputs...

Not everyone is equally well informed and well intentioned.
The chipset just multiplexes and it's fine. You're unlikely to actually use more than 16 lanes simultaneously in such a setup. But yes, Intel is being overly stingy with PCI-E lanes off of the CPU and leaning heavily on the chipset to compensate.

I'm hoping Ryzen 3rd gen bumps the lane count a bit more, otherwise Threadripper's 64 lanes look mighty nice...
Yeah, while HN is about the code-wonkery, I had to jump over to your main site to see it at work...

It's beautiful. Totally agree on the flat-shaded aesthetic. A nice stylized low-fi without giving into pixel-art.

I'm always suspicious about simulation-driven games because they can get lost in the wonkery of it in ways that don't actually provide gameplay to players - my understanding was that Master of Orion 3 was ruined by this kind of design. But it looks like your "simulation driven" thing is about the citizens, which is wonderful.

Your current vids are very rural. Are you planning on getting into transit and bike-lanes and the like, or is this primarily going to be about roadways?
> The construction of the new factory started in May 1938 in the new town of "Stadt des KdF-Wagens" (modern-day Wolfsburg), which had been purpose-built for the factory workers.[15] This factory had only produced a handful of cars by the time war started in 1939. None were actually delivered to any holder of the completed saving stamp books, though one Type 1 Cabriolet was presented to Hitler on 20 April 1944 (his 55th birthday).[15]

The federal reserve is indeed part of the government. It has separations from the executive branch but it is indeed part of the government.

The same website you linked to has an FAQ page dedicated to clearing up this misconception: https://www.federalreserve.gov/faqs/about_14986.htm

> The Federal Reserve System is not "owned" by anyone. Although parts of the Federal Reserve System share some characteristics with private-sector entities, the Federal Reserve was established to serve the public interest.

> Some observers mistakenly consider the Federal Reserve to be a private entity because the Reserve Banks are organized similarly to private corporations. For instance, each of the 12 Reserve Banks operates within its own particular geographic area, or District, of the United States, and each is separately incorporated and has its own board of directors. Commercial banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System hold stock in their District's Reserve Bank. However, owning Reserve Bank stock is quite different from owning stock in a private company. The Reserve Banks are not operated for profit, and ownership of a certain amount of stock is, by law, a condition of membership in the System. In fact, the Reserve Banks are required by law to transfer net earnings to the U.S. Treasury, after providing for all necessary expenses of the Reserve Banks, legally required dividend payments, and maintaining a limited balance in a surplus fund.
Nice & useful. I just wish this worked for Youtube videos,too. Currently I am using Copyfish to grab text from images/videos: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/copyfish-%F0%9F%90...

Copyfish works well, but since it is a generic solution for copying text from embedded subtitles/images, it is not optimized for language learning.
This is a bit off-topic, but a lot of my friends and peers who have Cantonese-speaking heritage (eg: Chinese-Canadian) have spent a lot of time playing Sleeping Dogs and I think deep-down there's a representation they resonate with in the game. Kotaku even did an article on the topic years ago.[1] Thank you for investing (uncredited!) time and work into the project, as I think it's likely given something special to a group of people.

I really like this idea. Your website is clean and streamlined.
Uh, ok. That "rape" was a female intelligence agent provocateur. They took one look at his character flaws and came up with an awesome entrapment plan.

Look, being a spook isn't hard when most political figures and guys like Assange love to drink and chase tail. It's even easier when the tail comes on to you, ostensibly because you're website is well known and you're a sort of counter-cultural hero because of your cause (exposing wrongs through leaks).

Assange was set up. Regardless of his personality, he was clearly targeted by the CIA and MI5/6.

It's now coming out that Hillary and Obama were up to some serious shenanigans at the very least. In fact your post is a great example of the dangers of this kind of legislation and how easy it is to get wrong. Even Trump doesn't want to go that far and he's the world's biggest victim of fake news.
Not sure if you own an iPhone but many apps ignore that rule.

But that's not what I am talking about. It's this alleged situation where Apple is sending Apple Music notifications not from the app but from the OS itself.
One problem with your metaphor about mountain climbers and mountain climbing is that the most efficient way to scale a mountain is probably to just take a helicopter to the top. Mountain climbing, like lots of other things, _must_ be constrained, in some way, to be _meaningful_, and the constraints _chosen_ reflect the _purpose_ of the endeavor. But then, specific constraints, e.g. the tools and methods 'allowed', become their own 'thing' (while continuing to interact with and evolve with other related things).
Not only would algebraic sum types be awesome, but if user-defineable they could eliminate so much of the ambiguity in how nulls are practically used in SQL. People often say that null just means unknown but that is a bug-causing simplification. In reality, null could mean unknown, but it could also mean not yet known, uninitialized, missing, impossible, uncomputable, join conditions not met, or hundreds of other things. And sum types would be extremely useful even outside of null handling...there are thousands of reasons why more and more modern languages are designed with sum types.

Not only would sum types be extremely helpful but it would also be awesome to have a standard for product types. As it stands, some implementations have them but they are clunky, and others you have to resort to just using multiple columns, which is pretty bad for composability, bug-ridden, and leads to behavior that is almost like Hungarian notation in order to maintain unique column naming. For example:

create table foo(
start zoneddatetime,
end zoneddatetime
...
);

versus

create table foo(
start_time timestamp,
start_tz timezone,
end_time timestamp,
end_tz timezone
...
);

(timestamptz is not an acceptable substitute...it doesn't store timezone)
So was those leaked by local press or other institutions? Were those leaked documents also sent to Wikileaks and they refused to analyze or host them? If not I see no problem in the fact that you have many options on how/where to leak, especially if you are in Russia/China you will have a better reach tif you expose politicians and corruption if you use local (in your native language) press, the local journalists can also have the advantage they do not need translates,they are already in the country and can travel and verify things, they have contacts.
I find it helpful to think of it as teaching a computer to do something rather than telling it to.
From applied control theory I intuitively knew that a cascade of issues resulting in a system instability had overwhelmed the pilots. I now see this arrogance of data science based software engineering being inserted into business, industry and social systems. As an abstract example Facebook's attempt to stabilize the politics on its platform through algorithms. More concretely in the hydro dam control systems in the Pacific Northwest. Specifically in this damned Boeing 737 Max control system. Control systems need rigorous testing through simulation not accidents.
My Tex Yoda 2 keyboard's trackpoint is really good. It's not identical to a standard trackpoint, it has much more "throw" since it needs to be a lot taller to clear the full size switches/keycaps, but you get used to it.

So what? All the decisions at Google that affect users are made by AIs of some sort. That's why they ask you all the time if you are a robot-- and why they don't give you any human support: that notion literally makes no sense to them.
Bayer is a filthy company that should have been shut down after being a key Nazi collaborator along with IBM, Siemens and others. Sure, they might be the victim of some cyber warfare, but in aggregate, they will never be a victim in my book, just a giant enterprise built on murder.

I think the point was that any cohort with a strong voting record for one party will still have members that vote for another party based on a single issue.

It's not unreasonable to think that someone might agree with the bulk of a party's platform, but disagree on a single issue that's most important to them and can't bring themselves to vote for anyone in that party because of it.

I can imagine guns, abortion, the military, taxes, etc. might fit that bill as someone's single most important issue.
Courts do judge intent in that way when needed though.

If your tax avoidance can be successfully defended in court it seems completely ethical to me. Change the law if there is a problem with it.

There's a difference between believing things and actively campaigning for other people to adopt your view via the enactment/enforcement of various laws by the government.
It's very simple. Despite the weekly mass shootings in your neighborhood, the life expectancy of an American is still 79 years. And if you're commenting on Hacker News, chances are that yours will be higher. And the majority of American don't get bankrupt on medical expenses.

Unless you're willing to live in poverty, or be a burden on your children, saving enough for your old age is your only option.

That doesn't mean you shouldn't splurge on the fantastic lattes of your master barista.
What exactly is the confusion here? That people share things on their own blog? Or that people vote it up on HN?

If the former, people share all sorts of oddities in their own personal space especially life-changing events of which career moves is one.

If the latter, a lot of people follow "developer influencers" to keep up on the cutting edge trends. I'm personally keeping an eye on the Rust Book and hoping it maintains its high quality so that's my investment in this. I'd go the other way and say it would be borderline irresponsible of him not to publicly state he's moving off Mozilla's payroll b/c of so many of us depending on his super-active involvement in and documentation of Rust.

> why am I reading this?

Yeah, why? A better question is, why are you commenting on not wanting to read it instead of just skipping and moving on?
There's no real way to counter the Republican strategy which is to build a voting bloc by appealing to the baser tribal instincts of humanity. They have carefully crafted an image that hides their true nature from those who vote them into power. All failings are blamed on the opposition, further reinforcing the group identity. Those who control the party get all the benefits. Those who keep electing them get to stew in their perpetual acrimony.
> There had been an outcry over the appointment of Kay Coles James, who is president of conservative thinktank The Heritage Foundation. Thousands of Google employees signed a petition calling for her removal, over what they described as "anti-trans, anti-LGBTQ and anti-immigrant" comments.

And

> At the weekend, board member Prof Alessandro Acquisti resigned, tweeting: "While I'm devoted to research grappling with key ethical issues of fairness, rights and inclusion in AI, I don't believe this is the right forum for me to engage in this important work."

So it sounds like Google picked someone with a "dissenting" opinion (the conservative) who then was pushed out for her dissenting opinion, and then another board member decided to leave, either because they too worried about being pushed out for not toeing the line, or worried about having to debate the other person.

Either way, it sounds like "diversity of opinion" was only lip service here. Isn't the whole point of an ethics board to have people who have different takes on the ethics of a situation? If the whole board is comprised of like minded individuals, doesn't that defeat the point?

I've never held a job with that title, but "Developer Advocate" was one of the roles I was interviewing for in this search, so you're not wrong.
When viewed that way, you're not dealing with most mainstream OO languages anymore. But it is the intent of the originators of OO and I prefer the same view. Especially because at that point it becomes orthogonal to imperative/functional approaches.

Message passing can be used with a functional language (Erlang) or an imperative language (Go) to great effect. It can also be added onto (as a library) most other languages.

However, I want to know if the original author meant it that way. And I still don't see how message passing is a higher level paradigm than functional programming. It's an orthogonal paradigm, neither subsumes the other, and both benefit when used with the other.
If you have enough people guessing coin flips, one of them will be consistently right... and then claim credit for how difficult it was. Just look at all the people who failed!

I've been thinking about making my own with load cells, but I guess looking up those patents and seeing how IBM/Lenovo did it is a good idea before I start.

It really doesn't seem hard though. It seems to me the trickiest part is getting the acceleration curves set correctly so that it feels nice to use. But that should be a matter of software/configuration, not hardware. High resolution readout from the load-cells seems essential, so that you can have precise readout of very low forces, giving the trackpoint a light and airy feeling without compromising precision.
This. It's coming for the rest of the industry. Amazon and Google aren't encouraging young people to code for the good of the world. It's so the can hire people for less money once the pool is larger. The intent is to drive down the cost so that devs will do the exact same work and the company will take a larger cut of the profit. Once this gets to a point of exploitation like in the games industry a union is necessary unless you are lucky enough to choose the right speciality but this is a gamble.
The Redbook looks like an awesome resource. I think it's a real shame that find resources at the intermediate level of database system design is so hard; feels very much like the "how to draw an owl" meme
Unionization is never going to happen, and won't have much benefit.

Excessive overtime and crunch need to be outlawed. It's not a matter of whether or not it's paid, beyond a certain threshold it's a question of health. Nothing will change until people start suing. If companies can just abuse and then terminate people once their lives are ruined, they will continue to do so.
The thought occurs to me, that if one were to combine a combination of stealth technology, quad-copter technology, autonomous piloting technology, and rocket booster technology, you's have all the makings for what appear to be legit UFO events.
