It's not as simple as that. There are multiple ways to figure out which ad to show to a user, but I think the most efficient way (development and compute) is to put a user in segments (e.g. lives in area X, searched for Y, age Z, ...) and then do the bidding magic. There are tight tolerances for bidding--you want it to happen within a fraction of a second so the ad quickly loads for the user. Feeding purchase data is likely something that requires a bit of work, and I imagine the ad team at Amazon doesn't see enough value to prioritize it (especially since they make money either way--the advertisers pay for the ad with a higher CPC).

One thing to keep in mind is that the purchase data is per-user, so it's different from the segment approach I was mentioning above. It would require a whole new schema* that is queried whenever bids are processed for an ad event.

* Sorry for using the word schema here. It was used a lot on a team I was on in a similar context, and it bothered me at first but I got used to it. What I mean by schema is a "blob" with purchase data that is periodically processed by the bidding subsystem to add bid exclusions per user.
I'm semi-convinced this is yet another reason for perpetuating this type of poor interview practice (not just at Google).

When you search modern interview topic and comments/opinions on the current process, you'll find a few SEs (typically working at places like Google at some point) on that on the side sell training bootcamps, etc. These people will swear every direction that it's a reasonable process in comments around the web referring to their side business. Creating problems they provide solutions to: gatekeeping 101.
I feel like that's more the Gilette/HP "expensive propriatery consumables" model, not the classic loss leader.

When I think of "loss leader" I think of the Thrifty pharmacies that used to have an ice-cream counter. People went in for a 35-cent cone and ended up buying $10 of other merchandise that more than made up for the 15 cents Thrifty lost on the cone.
glad you liked it :)
Normal people outside the tech bubble still like Facebook. Even inside it there are people who do (I like Facebook).
My apologies, I did indeed misunderstand - didn't realize it was a reference to the leaders specifically.
Yes, we already do that
None of that rings true to me. Like I said, I really dislike the way we do interviews, but I find this to all be exaggerated to the point that it weakens your argument.
And yet, their accuracy is poor to say the least and no objective, informed, reasonable person would conclude that a drug dog scratching someone's paint would be considered probable cause. But here we are.
Careful where you suggest something like that. Next week we might see a front page HN shell script that blacks out your screen, starts an install, and queues up some top 10 videos.

And people will use it.
Yeah that might work, but it is still uphill battle. Spotify succeed because piracy was eating record labels profits and they had to do jump.

>You can't have the government report on the government and expect full independence - even if it is independent of the executive, you still need to fund it somehow, which is going to make it beholden to someone.

And private media, controlled by unaccountable billionaire capitalists and funded by corporate advertising, can be trusted?

With publicly funded media, there can be far more scrutiny, openness and criticism. I mean, look at the UK and compare the BBC, which has its flaws, to the absolutely repulsive, dishonest and dogmatically right-wing private press.
I'm not kidding.

You certainly were lucky to be taught Linear Algebra in such a manner! I came to understand the importance of such an approach only after a lot of head-scratching and self-study. IMO, a beautiful and important branch of "Practical" Maths has been needlessly obscured by the pedantic formalism espoused by the teaching community. Linear Algebra SHOULD always be taught alongside Coordinate/Analytic Geometry and Trigonometry for proper intuition.

I found the book "Practical Linear Algebra: A Geometry Toolbox" very helpful in my study.
After a long and storied career I mostly just get a kind of vicarious doom-thrill from reading about interviews I couldn't possibly pass.
Better designs require fewer lines of code [#]. Maybe the person spends more time thinking than writing. Also think about a typical enterprise Java program - writing lots of boilerplate code is bound to create fantastic muscle/syntax memory and no useful skill beyond that.

[#] If this doesn't seem obvious consider the inverse - worse designs will inevitably require more lines of code to get the same result.
I have worked for Samsung, elbeit in software division. Company culture is such that if a high level manager promised to deliver he will pressure his people to meet the deadline no matter if the product has flaws. And every step of the organisation will do the same. There is also little flow of bad information up the chain, every level will use multiple tactics to make impression everything is fine even if the building is on fire.

This has a lot to do with korean culture where keeping face and loyalty for his employer are two most important things in the life of a corporate drone.

I completely disagree with your thinking. They all worked hard and put the limitless effort in chasing their dream. It's not like they achieved everything in one night but they experimented, failed and tried again and didn's stop until succeed.

So, putting their all efforts and hard work in "LUCK CATEGORY " is not justifiable.
Those export control policies affected access to strong encryption by citizens of repressive states, not just by their leadership. I'd say the balance is positive here, especially since many such states also (try to) regulate access to crypto.
Just an addition to this comment:

Point is that, according to Curry-Howard, validating a proof is equivalent to type checking the program, not actually running it to halting. Type checking (<-> validating a proof) is polynomial.

How to Build the Zero-Carbon Economy
My personal experience while traveling in China is that it is an aggressive, confrontational, blunt, yet very friendly culture.

Cutting in line is common. It seems to annoy locals, but also seems like it's kind of light-hearted game for everyone. Grandmas get carte blanche to cut as they please, and if you get in their way they will hit you, but it's a grandma so it doesn't hurt and is quite funny the first time it happens.

Jay walking is rampant except at intersections that are staffed with numerous traffic police.

If you're fat, people will comment on your fatness while getting to know you for the first time. This is not meant to be offensive. Likewise if you're skinny, bald, old, etc.

There is an odd mix of authoritarian rule obsessed workers and then many who break the rules any chance they get.

They are extremely friendly and interested in a lot of foreigners. Chinese strangers would buy me food and translate for me without me even asking.
I buy domain names for weird and random ideas that come to me. I really like the reverse concept of buying interesting domain names and then letting them turn into something that you never anticipated. That sounds like a really fun and potentially highly rewarding hobby. It also seems to break every Startup book's rules, since you're looking for a problem to a solution, but who cares? This guy is having tons of fun and learning a lot, so good for him.

For me, this is difficult to reconcile with my experience that there is barely any product left on Amazon where they really are the cheapest. You’ll almost always find well rated smaller online shops across all categories that sell substantially below Amazon’s prices. This is even more so true if you want something sold and fulfilled by Amazon.
Camaro (9 years), Ford Ranger (8 years), Mustang Shelby GT500 (30 then 7 years), Acura NSX (11 years), Challenger (24 years) and the Ford GT (11 years) all come to mind.

Also keep in mind Tesla technically already did a somewhat refresh, like a generation 1.5 of sorts in 2016 [1] (New seats, slight interior changes, facelift, autopilot updates).

So the question is who leaked it and why? Just a disgruntled employee or the effect of 996?

In today's world, everyone chasing multiple fishes at one time - or I say generalizing themselves for everything rather than creating expertise in specific technology or skill. But when I think any successful person or top leaders - They specialized in one skill first then moved to generalize.

I agree with you that in the end, work-life balance should be there.
No, because that only happens when there's reasonable belief that you are breaking a law.
That's a great story... And a perfect timing for an amazing marketing campaign with seasonal shipping starting next week.
I have been on the other end of the process more than once, in different companies and countries, and I have literally never seen anything like that.
California has a little-known law that tries to protect bicyclists from the "right hook" accident you mention. If there is a bike lane, drivers are required to merge into the bike lane before turning right, instead of turning from the car lane and cutting across the bike lane.

This is why bike lane stripes have a dotted section when approaching an intersection, to give drivers a hint about what they are supposed to do. Unfortunately, only a minority of drivers understand and follow the hint.

This is the first thing that came to my mind as well. There is no way this was tested properly if all these reviewer units are failing immediately. There hasn’t even been time for pocket lint and dust to accumulate which will make it so much worse. A proper product would have been tested in all these conditions over and over and not released at all if the failure rate was this high. Feels like management blindness on this went all the way to the top and now they will reap the PR fallout and ridicule that they should. In a proper work environment that punished stupidity like this, some management heads should roll. Engineering heads should roll too but I suspect they told management that it wouldn’t work and management said to “just make it work.” Turns out the laws of physics are hard to rewrite.
But it's the reverse: they previously announced 250 kW last month. While this new drivetrain announcement says 200 kW. Why did they lower the charging rate claim?
First of all, I doubt that the average Tesla customer is wealthy enough that they're in a position to shrug and ambivalently pay whatever the website tells them on that particular day, like they're in the checkout aisle of a grocery store or the pump at a gas station. When it comes to $50,000 purchases, people generally like to plan ahead.

Second, the comparison isn't against dealers (which are awful), the comparison is against the ideal. All I'm saying is that Tesla is shooting itself in the foot with its inconsistency. Bringing up dealers is a whataboutism.
Well, I would say that news organizations are pretty incentivized to find a new revenue source, too. But yeah, the marquee papers might be harder to get, and those would be the main motivator for subscribers. But maybe you could start with more niche publications like The Economist, Consumer Reports, which are already heavily paywalled but could benefit from a larger paying audience, build up an initial audience, and then go for NYT/WSJ.
Ban parking cars on public property. Then nobody needs to be tracking how long it's there for.
I think this misses the point.

Newspapers can do fine when people read them. Ad sales, sponsorships, etc provide more than enough revenue for a local paper that has a at least a moderate readership. The reason newspapers are failing is because they aren't finding that moderate readership - people aren't reading them. And this is the exact same reason that ad sales/revenue are declining. So it's not like if you externally fund a newspaper, you fix the problem. You simply end up with a well funded paper that nobody reads.

And ultimately I see no way to save newspapers. Why would I read one handful of journalists' takes on events that happened 24+ hours ago, when I could instead see the views of not only countless journalists but even real people and specialists takes on issues, as they unfold? And as the article mentions the times of finding jobs or local sales in the newspaper is completely gone as well. To a degree this will also lead to a paradoxical decline of online outlets. They, like local papers, need loyal viewers to survive. But there's no inherent reason to offer loyalty to any given news outlet in era of the internet. This is, in my opinion, why most media has gone full-on partisan and op-ed type stuff. It tries to turn the news into entertainment to draw a recurring audience like a weekday sitcom in times past. Suffice to say this is not a viable long term strategy - fanaticism invariably destroys itself in the long run.

To avoid these issues it is imperative to hold natural and legal persons responsible for the software they use, just as it has always been, regardless if it is using anything artificial intelligence-ish. Under that rule there will always be a way to handle problems arising from AI. Without following that rule, pretty much nothing else matters.

In the case of the mass-shooting prediction: Good luck proving that it is accurate enough to legitimize punitive consequences for the suspected perpetrator, and without violating a half-decent democratic constitution.

Some of the predictors are in themselves crimes, and picking those up would justify correctional measures, no problem. Schools and police also need to get a lot better at picking up and handling mental health problems, be it through algorithms or smarter laws and procedures. Make it easier for the mentally ill to get medical help than to buy an assault rifle, for starters.

> Someone might go to a hundred HTTPS sites a day, and the security works invisibly to them

Most people have no idea why or how that is more secure than HTTP, they can't tell the difference, they don't need to know the difference. But the biggest difference is that in online banking or whatever, there are humans who can check if something's gone wrong, if your account has been hacked, you can call your bank and ask them what happened, and you can usually trust them to know what's going on and what went wrong, and you'll get your money back. Or not, and then you can sue them. Either way, it's fixable.

Voting has no authority that can fix things if something went wrong. The voters are the authority, which means that all the voters need to understand and trust the entire system for it to be authoritative.
True but they also occasionally put out really nice products. The S10e is a great phone, for example. In many ways it shows an attention to detail that used to be the province of a famous fruit branded company.

Their approach to product design seems pretty chaotic but that doesn't necessarily mean it's wrong.
It should be possible to "enable" the phone again by entering the Apple ID associated with the iPhone, or by plugging it in to iTunes wether it has previously been synced with iTunes or not.

Even then, unless she remembers the passcode the storage will still be encrypted and the data will not be able to be read by iTunes or anything else.

That $US20k seems to be purely marketing bullshit, aimed to sucker US buyers. :(

Easy seen as such too. Compare the "Ludicrous Mode" for the Model X on the US website (US$20k) to the same thing on the Australian website (AUS$8.5k):

https://www.tesla.com/modelx/design?redirect=no#battery

https://www.tesla.com/en_AU/modelx/design?redirect=no#batter...

Note - you need to select "Performance" on the right side, for Ludicrous Mode to be shown.

Ludicrous mode is "20% faster acceleration" for both. So it very much seems like the extra cost on the US buyers is to match this marketing update.

That thing where Larry Ellison (Oracle) is now on the board of Tesla. This is the kind of crap he'd very much applaud. :(

Journalists also help chew through raw material. A lot of it is lengthy and to the lay-person not easy to understand because they might lack context or jargon or history of the matters under discussion, so journalists can help make sense of things. Taking in raw politics is like chewing an unbaked potato for most, helps to have someone cook it first before digesting it.
At least the private media would compete between themselves.

Carbanak is a piece of malware originally used to rob banks in Ukraine and Russia by jackpotting ATMs and changing the account balances. Since then the malware has lived on to be used to target US companies such as Chipotle, Ruby Tuesday, Baja Fresh, casinos and so many more. This malware was held tight by the hackers and not shared but now, you can have it too.

The podcast Darknet Diaries Ep 35 does a good job explaining it. Very fascinating.
You can have affordability and home investment as long as the populations are not the same. If we rezone the vast amount of under two story residential we open up the ability for cheap high rise apartments and condos.

This doesn't lower the value of the two story homes, it simply allows them to be bought out and developed. You say people are adamant to stay but I'm not sure that's true. You do see turn over, it's simply a limited supply.
It's always so much easier to criticize (as nothing is perfect) than actually come up with a better solution in real life. So anything where there's no perfect solution, people will endlessly criticize online, even though they themselves have no better solution, and what they criticize is not terrible by any means.
Well, I buy things from Amazon very frequently, and I have a high conversion rate between searched-for-category and bought something to satisfy the search, so Amazon ads are for things I've already taken care of >90% of the time. I'm guessing they're leaving a lot of money on the table from me because of it. But maybe I'm unusual in my shopping patterns.

Mental health is a real thing and I sympathize but can't support the impact that attention to it is having on society.
Negatively impacting someones mental health is not the same thing as directly having a negative impact on someones physical health. Words and feelings are not a good reason to restrict free speech.
I'm curious why this worked like that, since GC should consider all those bitmaps orphaned at the end of every loop iteration (possibly as soon as you get the pixel even, since that reference is no longer used). The GC might not run for a while, but it should certainly run long before the entire system starts swapping...

The only thing I can think of is that the actual bitmap data is not tracked as a managed array by a Bitmap instance, but rather is a pointer or handle from some underlying native library. GC might not kick in then, because it doesn't realize how much memory all those bitmap objects are actually hogging. Now, on .NET, when libraries do that kind of thing, they're supposed to use GC.Add/RemoveMemoryPressure to let it know. But perhaps the library that you were using didn't?
No - I'm wondering about the abstractions that allow for specific workflow specifications to happen in code versus a DSL/JSON.

There are two extremes here - I can slap celery and run a bunch of custom code as workflows. On the other hand, I can use a workflow system with a built in DSL that abstracts some of the underlying behaviour out.

Cadence seems to fall in the middle - and I'm wondering how it works. Why doesn't it generate to the same mess that celery+a bunch of custom python code become ?
I suspect the commenter you’re responding to means ~”who leaked the source code referenced in the DMCA, and why”. The DMCA takedown request refers to a repo that it claims contains internal information and data from the claiming company.
That's hilariously ironic. If they wanted meaningful high level discussions without syntax focus, their interview structure would be different.

The most obvious change was to accept psuedo-code (like in the olden times) to reduce cognitive load dealing with: syntax, dynamic problem solving, and dealing with someone asking you random questions shifting your train of thought or changing the problem description on the spot.

This now common poorly structured interview process does a lot to discourage high level conversation and low focus on syntax. It tends to get hung up on language specific syntax, data structure recall, and less on designing and analyzing solutions.
