Most people including ones here don't understand the value prop. In ML, the model (and modeling) is an afterthought that takes 3 lines of code. The value-add isn't the model or modeling, it's the feature generation and methodology. When (and if) this gets automated then yes, it will make life hard on many data scientists. But I don't see it happening within 20 years and most likely not within my lifetime.
Only a fool would use any of these platforms and large companies never will. The ml industry is full of fledgling products that no one should ever use and clearly if you use this you will be locked into google forever
MTA-STS only helps when the providers on both end use it. This post doesn't seem to say: will there be anything in the interface to indicate whether a message transmitted via MTA-STS or not?
Management is still at fault for not putting in place enough quality to ensure that the bug didn't happen, or was found first. There are a number of ways to do this. They can spend more time and money testing the product before it goes to production. They can spend more money/time on automated testing infrastructure. They can spend time/money on failover to last good version. They can spend time/money on up front design. They can decide that the costs of any of the above is too high and so they will accept the risk. Depending on your exaction situation any of the above can be most cost effective (often a combination - in particular accepting risk eventually is required no matter how much you spend on something else).
The nation-prefix suggestion could actually be reasonable if Amazon.com Inc. were also limited to its own prefix, say .inc.amazon. I assume that's not what was proposed.

Markdown does parse that, but it seems superfluous to me tbh.
I know a German who avoided work by staying in university into her 40s. This was only possible because it was free to her. Despite 20+ years of university education, she managed to get a low level job.

I don't know how prevalent this is in Europe.

But it's a general economic fact that people don't value what they get for free. They need to have "skin in the game", so to speak.

If you want evidence, look at how people treat rental cars vs their own. Or how they treat those ride share bikes. Or how they treat public bathrooms. Etc.

Parent did not say that it is misleading.

The claim was that the tax caused price increase is hidden in the overall price.

And while the reasons for that can be plentiful (even consumer protection, if wanted) one effect is certainly and obviously that it hides the amount of sales tax you pay.

The VAT is usually declared somewhere in the bill.

How so? It looks to me like it makes it easier for bad actors to take advantage of my network, by making it harder to detect and block DNS lookups.
Thanks, it makes sense. I personally try to apply some of it (TDD) at a smaller scale (e.g. 1 service class) and I see the benefits. I tend to over engineer so following some rules would help me, but others may write tests after whole day of work as a separate effort which I would like to improve.
You are assuming that higher education institutions still have an incentive to actually make people able to make "meaningful contributions to the development of new technologies" and all that good stuff after a college degree becomes a requirement to signal to the rest of society that you're not useless.

Maybe 25 degrees is a little bit close to a real value. But think of this / flying along this line of text. That is what the AoA sensor was telling the FCC was happening to the aircraft. That's wildly out of range.
Writing large C projects without tools like valgrind is crazy! I guess in some situations it can be hard to set up (like kernel programming.) but user space software should always be written with it.

My personal experience is tools like valgrind will immediately shove stupid mistakes back in your face (rather than waiting a few days to realize the change you made is corrupting the heap in a way that eventually causes the program to crash.) and the result is not only better memory management in your project but also better memory management in future projects.
Not doubting you, but were did you find that information? The only thing I see is "it’s built into devices running Android 7.0+" and I found that on multiple pages.

As Android 7.0 is available to install on any device and I don't see anything about "certified android devices", I assume they mean ANY Android 7.0 device? Then again it only works with Google services atm, but I know you can sideload google play services so...

The Linux kernel doesn't crash much, unless you have dodgy drivers or dodgy hardware. Whether your userland programs crash or not depends on what you're running. I don't expect to see sshd crashing, for example, though it's true that almost any program will exit suddenly if the system runs out of memory, which to an ordinary user looks like a crash, though it's a very different thing really.
My assertion wasn't I assumed that people aren't making a conscious choice, but rather that they aren't pouring over international carbon emissions data as part of that decision making process.

As far as what families feel they "need", I think it represents a larger societal issue around how we manage vehicle use and ownership. Most pickup trucks I see on the road aren't hauling cargo. And most 7 or 8 passenger SUVs have 1 or 2 people in them.

> Also, heavier vehicles are safer for the passengers.

Yes, for the passengers in that particular vehicle. More dangerous for others on the road who can't afford or are unwilling to purchase a similarly sized vehicle.

In my case a lot of it comes down to me, as an insider, knowing that you're wrong. "Monetizing people" is sort of meaningless. That's an objection to capitalism, if anything, not Google. Google no more monetizes people than a bank, or a rideshare company or even a university. Short of maybe fundamental research, you're not going to find a job that doesn't monetize people under some interpretation.

As for a "surveillance society", I don't really think that's true. The care my coworkers take with user data is, in a word, significant.

There are certainly things that Google has done that I think aren't ethical, but I'm much better positioned to be aware of and change those things as an insider than an outsider.

And then of course there's the multitude of selfish reasons: compensation, interesting technical work, intelligent coworkers, etc.
2+ hours per day commuting? BART from Berkeley to Powell St station is 30 minutes. You have last mile for sure, but this totally works for most SF based startup jobs.

But either way... doesn't this prove my point? This does not sound like a difficult way to live, _and_ it factors in luxuries (I for one definitely do not spend $10k/year on car ownership).
It's a bad example imo, there is a difference between using Google products vs using other products that run on Google CIDR.

I sell stuff on Amazon European marketplaces. I sometimes change the price; you have to do that on each marketplace (there are 5: UK FR DE ES IT) in the interface for sellers.

The decimal separator for UK/English is the dot; in all other marketplaces it's the comma. If you put a dot where a comma is expected it's silently ignored (so for example EUR 9.99 becomes EUR 999)... but "slowly": the dot you type appears normally, and then after some periodic ajax validation, it's removed.

I now know this and am careful about it, but the first few times I had my items priced at 100x their normal price, until customers emailed me to ask if this was normal.

It would maybe make sense to issue a warning if the new price differed from the old price by two orders of magnitude. But there's no warning.

not quite. the things they offered for extra were the AoA sensor readouts and an annunciator for AoA disagreement. the mcas was not part of that and the mcas was not briefed in the difference training from the other 737 models. the mcas taking input from a single sensor was to blame. it should not have activated when there was substantial disagreement from the two sensors. it also should have 3 sensors and vote on agreement and not just difference.
OMSCS grad, father, and full-time SWE, here, also currently enrolled in the OMS Analytics program. I had my first kid mid-way through the program, and it was pretty rough. Something's gotta budge, and for me, it was sleep. In total, I pulled about 15 all-nighters, give or take, and watched a whole lot of lectures holding an infant. Most of the all-nighters were for large assignments/projects. It's tough, but can be done. Some tips:

1. Load-balance your courses. omscentral.com is an excellent resource for this, and I made sure that the workload never exceeded 20 hours per week (there's crowd-sourced statistics there). Pairing some of the more work-intensive courses with "easier" courses was very helpful, in retrospect.

2. Spread out your courses. It's self-paced! You can take 1 course per semester, skip a semester, etc. Before my kid arrived, I front-loaded and took a 3-course semester.

3. Watch lectures at 2x speed. This was clutch. Most of the content has very slow speakers, likely for clarity, so if you're a native English speaker, watching at 2x speed is usually reasonable.

4. Be okay with mediocre grades. This was probably the most liberating aspect for me. In undergrad, I really cared about my grades. Not caring about grades in OMSCS (or caring more about learning what I want to learn) was more liberating. There were many times I submitted sub-par assignments because they just didn't interest me, or I would rather have spent time with my family.

Hope this helps. If you attend the program, join the unofficial Slack group (I run it). Happy to chat with you offline.

How to Automate Tasks on GitHub with Machine Learning for Fun and Profit
I don't have data for the whole of Europe, but bachelor degrees in Germany are much less common than in my country despite the fact that higher education there is much more accessible. This seems to correlate to the fact that Germany also has a very well-established system of vocational schools and university there is seen as a way of becoming a researcher or for certain high-skill careers, not a requirement for being treated as a functional human being (which is what I see higher education becoming in the US and my country both).

I can't speak for all of Europe, but Germany avoids having university degrees becoming a mere piece of paper useful only for signaling by having alternate paths to a fulfilling career.
Did the same thing about 4 years ago and haven’t looked back. I find though that a lot of people are actually offended by it since I have no clue what thing they and everyone else is outraged about. I get accused of not caring, being disengaged, blah blah blah. It’s difficult to explain to people who are still deep in outrage mode, so I mostly avoid taking about it.

My life is so much better since cutting out the news. I am happier, more focused and able to actually concentrate on the things that I care about.

I prefer to think about how I can positively impact people around me and my local community, rather than embracing the culture of outrage about things happening thousands of miles away that are ultimately irrelevant.
It fills most of the same niches as a tool which is currently extremely widely used (Markdown) without having any major benefits over it. Probably the single biggest improvement I see is the link syntax which I find bothersome in Markdown for the reasons the author suggests (parens first or brackets first). Aside from that, tooling for Markdown is massively better with dozens of tools supporting Markdown parsing and authoring. Yes there are a lot of sub-versions of Markdown, but if you know the basic markdown features you can use any of them.

I’m on a H1B currently starting the green card process.

I don’t have formal education, but have been working as a developer for the past 16 years (13 at the time of the VISA application).

If you don’t have a degree, you can make it do with 3 years worth of experience for each year in college you don’t have. In my case, 12 years.

The experience is proved by employer letters and an “equivalence analysis” made by any college in the US where they write a piece of paper saying you have the equivalent knowledge of someone with a bachelors degree.

The challenge, really, for the H1B is the 85k cap (65k if you don’t have an advanced degree) and the application window which closes at April 7th.

Once your application is submitted you need to win the lottery (there are usually around 280k applicants) and wait for the VISA to be processed.

Potential employers are usually discouraged because they have to apply for you in April and you can only start working (if you are lucky) after October.

Let me know if you have any other questions.

Voltus | Backend/Full Stack Engineer | NY/Remote | Full-Time

We are a team of engineers and energy experts working to get our customers paid for using less energy. We work with large energy consumers to identify demand response and distributed energy resources. We aggregate those resources into virtual power plants that we sell to utilities and other buyers in wholesale energy markets, splitting the revenue with our customers. Our virtual power plants are cleaner and cheaper than the coal and oil plants they replace. Along the way we have to solve the hard system reliability problem of making hundreds of commercial and industrial sites behave like a single, reliable power producer.

Check out our posts for more on our company, the role, and the stack:

His proposal makes no sense. Under his new logic, it would be fine for the MCAS to continue forcing the trim to full deflection and crash the plane if the AoA was stuck anywhere between 15 and 24 degrees.

He's simply not solved the root problem and added a bad kludge for a single error case (AoA stuck > 25 degrees). While at the same time removed a potential safety control for a real world case where the AoA was validly over 25 degrees.

Note: I am assuming by RUNAWAY_TRIM() he means LET_MCAS_ADJUST_TRIM = TRUE; since runaway trim means something entirely different to my mind (that the electric trim is stuck/faulty and causing the trim to run to full deflection in one or other direction).
Of course 5 whys is no substitute for the scientific method. It isn't meant to be. Criticizing 5 ways because it's not good at science is unhelpful. It's a way to dig pretty deep into a problem very quickly with a simple heuristic. A 5 whys analysis of anything shouldn't take more than a couple of minutes. If your problem is going to need more than a couple of minutes of analysis, don't do 5 whys.
People will care about earning a degree because the rat race never ends. When you devalue university degrees, people will start earning degrees just because they can and because clueless employers grasp at any straw they can use to differentiate between applicants. That's how it becomes impossible to get a half-decent job without a college degree.

There is a downside to designing a mining algorithm tuned for general purpose CPUs: anyone with access to a lot of general purpose CPUs (such as botnet operators, or government groups) can easily aim their existing resources to try to do 51% attacks against the cryptocurrency.

If the mining algorithm requires specialized hardware, then no group starts out with an existing advantage. If the NSA decided it wanted to 51% attack a cryptocurrency, they'd have to make a massive investment in their own hardware, and then that hardware can't be repurposed after the attack. A 51% attack is likely to devastate the value of a cryptocurrency, which also de-values any mining hardware built for it, which naturally discourages anyone who invested in mining hardware from attacking the cryptocurrency.

Though mining algorithms that require specialized hardware also come with their own downsides: the companies that invest in making the mining hardware early on could decide to keep the most advanced mining hardware for themselves and gain a lot of control over the network.
If I understand your question (I might not):

MTA-STS works the same way HTTPS-STS works: you cache the lookup result and remember it for future transactions. This is a pretty powerful feature in HTTPS (it more or less breaks "SSL stripping" without requiring users to actually do anything), and the relationships between MTAs are far more stable than those between browsers and web servers, so you'd expect the potency of STS to be proportionally improved.

If you're asking more generally about who's going to adopt STS, the RFC was cosponsored by essentially all the major mail providers. This is likely to be a universal standard in the coming years.

> MCAS is a stupidly simple system

So, you have reviewed the software? If it's so stupid simple, why did it kill a bunch of people?
All the talk about how crappy Boeing engineering here was is bullshit and speculation and I am surprised PG participates in it. What we can discuss objectively here is incident response in which Boeing allowed the situation to continue after the first crash. How did they not run hundreds of hours of simulations, code reviews etc, etc on the system assumed to be at fault? How did they not immediately change the safety features associated with MCAS to be free and mandatory for everyone? Engineering mistakes happen and are hard to prevent. Business mistakes like this are a sign of terrible culture, lack of priorities and are an existential thread to the company.

It's interesting to me that the system would be designed to detect that a sensor is feeding it bad data, then go back to trusting that input after it had been determined to be bad.
Oh, I absolutely don't mean to comment on who 'deserves' (for some definition that includes 'is allowed to pay for the privilege of') it - that's a judgement I'm glad not to have to make - I was responding purely to the point about 'brand' strength.
I think this goes too far. There are many robust scripts out there. If you use rm -rf, change into a hardcoded directory first and then remove another explicit directory.

Actually, what we need first is:

1) A common and agreed upon standard definition of news.

Facts alone are not news. News also has importance and relevance. It's not news simply because a (major) "news" outlet publishes it.

I ate eggs for breakfast. That's truth / fact. It's not news.

2) A common and agreed upon standard definition of journalism / journalist.

Again, working for a "news" outlet does not make you a journalist. Journalism is a verb. It's a series of actions. It's not a (self-anointed) title.

3) Transparency and full disclosure about what is news (objective) and what is op-ed (subjective).

True story: I've seen a friend who has formal higher edu training in journalism (major'ed or minor'ed, I don't recall) take a (political) position on FB and then back up his "facts" with an op-ed piece. This isn't uncommon.

Edit: Typos

As a bicyclist, I was surprised by the sheer number of drivers who seem intent on punishing bicyclists, often for actions that are not illegal. So, given this experience I am not surprised to hear the same is true for motorcyclists.

I've had people do very close "punishment passes" on me because they thought I was going far below the speed limit when in reality I was going roughly 17 mph in a 15 mph zone. This is not some sort of isolated incident. I've spoken to several of them and it's rare that I get an apology for it.

Add on top of that the people who pass me closely while yelling things like "get in the bike lane!" when I'm riding in the sharrow lane and there is no bike lane.
