These other major tech-centers have less well-paying competition than SV as well. As someone who has done hiring in several companies in Berlin & Vienna the difficulty mostly lies in the fact companies don't want to pay much.

If you are willing to pay 10-15% above market rates (which is still 1/2 of SFBA market rates) there is no shortage of senior engineers in Berlin.
No one would care if this were just a story about suicide. This is a story that sympathetically portrays a girl who kills herself to make others feel sorry for her.

>you’ll find a lot of people who spend 95% of their time futzing with learning tools, and 5% (or less) actually studying

Exactly my point. It shouldn't be necessary to spend all that time futzing with tools, the tools should be there, ready to use.

>you need to listen and interact with people in the native language.

Such people are not available in all areas. Online availability does not scale. These are precisely the issues that digital tools should be good at addressing, but have failed to do so.
I've not seen the Ableton platform, but the Faust guys have already released Faust-to-SOUL support, and we're hoping it'll make a really good back-end for that kind of thing (of which there are many examples)
> Or perhaps policies are written by smart people

Where has that been true? JPMorgan has policies on notice depending on your position (engineer II has a different notice window than a IV).

During the ISO9000 heyday, it was SHOCKING to see how random HR exit policies were between hundreds of companies, with a bias toward traditional 2 week notice. The norm is that smart people aren't in HR, because smaller companies outnumber smaller ones.
Since this is a journal focused on cancer and not machine learning, I can understand why the editors would see this paper as being worthy for for publication. Unfortunately, many of the readers will read the paper uncritically.

If possible, you should write a critical response to this paper, focusing on its methodological flaws, and send it to the editors. It doesn't have to be long; critical response are usually a couple pages at most. This is likely the most effective way of removing (or at the very least, heavily qualifying) bad science from research journals.
To make a distributed application, you need some sort of orchestration. For example, a Redis job queue.

And at that point, you can just code your application as a single thread, and run one per core on the machine.

And the Python lack of types "issue" has always been a bit overblown in my opinion. If it's not immediately obvious what something is, then you need to either comment more, or come up with better variable names. And if you really, really feel the need for a type system, Python natively supports that now.
I wonder if these products will have to go through proper trials like drugs do? If not, why not?

Yes, it fights childhood obesity. None of the rest is universally true. Let me go through them one by one to demonstrate.

1) leadership qualities Constant reminders of how I was at the bottom of the totem pole didn't develop leadership for me. You develop leadership by doing something you are good at, not bad at. My positive experiences only happened much later in life.

2) coping with adversity I got lots of practice with adversity. Particularly when my physical challenges made me a target for bullying. I never noticed that the experience helped me cope with adversity though.

3) how to win and lose gracefully If by luck I wound up on a winning team in PE, it was clear to all that I did not contribute to the victory. I got practice at losing, but never noticed that the other children learned to be particularly graceful at winning.

4) coordination (all sports take practice) Did you notice the bit about my having a medical problem which required therapy? Yes, physical activity builds coordination. But the way it was done in school did not build mine. I wound up fixing that as an adult.

5) fights childhood obesity This I grant. Though it was superfluous in my case. Everyone in my family is skinny until at least 30.

6) forces kids to be around other kids instead of in isolation Given the way it made me a target for bullying, isolation would have been better.

7) Experience working with a team from an early age For me it was so demoralizing that I never felt like I was really part of any team until I was in my 30s. And when I did, it was programming that got me there, not sports.

These will work for any child, not just me. Bullshit. I am a definite counterexample to your theory. As you would have known if you paid attention to what I said before.

I am strongly in favor of all children who are physically capable of it getting exercise. But competitive sports are NOT a good idea for everyone.
I hope there's some benefit to other domains that rely on real-time signal processing, like control systems. I would like to have something like this for robotics.
>But if I am to say the word very slowly to teach somebody how it sounds, it might progressively become closer to two syllables. Languages are complicated.

I'm sure that's true, but I don't think it gives rise to any real doubt as to the syllable count. For example, you could stretch out the English word "near" into two syllables in very slow and deliberate speech, but it's definitely a monosyllabic word in most (possibly all?) varieties of English.
Student Debt Is Stopping U.S. Millennials from Becoming Entrepreneurs
I have a friend who was in a gifted program when he was growing up. (They didn't have them when and where I grew up. Hmph.) As I understand it, they effectively took the gifted students and put them into their own school.

He says it didn't do much academically or in terms of later life, but it did do something he values very much: it gave him a normal childhood.

According to him, they took the ostracized nerds out of other schools and combined them so that some of them were the jocks of their school, some were the nerds, most were run-of-the-mill students, and so on.

He's pretty damn smart.
Hmm.

Surge in US measles cases leads to extraordinary measures
Regular devs tend to have to target users. You can love X as much as you like, but if your users are on Y you will find it easier to be on Y as well. Devs that have a business case to not be on Y have been using X for years. The only thing different about AI devs is they are enough to get a critical mass in some areas as opposed to the weird guy.

> test data should be balanced or they should correct for this in the analysis.

Why should it be balanced? It should be the expected natural clinical class distribution, no? The humans have priors about this too. If anything, it should be more imbalanced, as I would guess (I would hope!) that less than 20% of scans are malignant.

I watched this show after I listened to all the hype about this and while the study seems like it may be credible, I don't really get it.

They spent the entire first season delving into the mindset of a girl who had committed suicide and everything that led to her making that decision. From bitchy and macho high school popularity, to bullying to rape and then the trivialization of her experience leading up to that decision. It was a show about all of life's very real events that contribute to the thought processes that go on inside the head of someone in this state. I understand the repercussions it may have caused a spike in teen suicide and while I hate to minimize that, it served a far greater purpose which was helping everyone that doesn't suffer from suicidal thoughts understand just what someone with depression battles silently every day.

As someone who does battle depression every day, I can assure you, this topic needs to be brought to the forefront of people's understanding. It's still a common mentality that depression isn't a thing, that it's just people whining about not being able to deal with life. People need to know how to read the signs that are routinely missed, misunderstood, trivialized and invalidated in the most mentally devastating manner that lead to suicidal thoughts.

I'm sad that there seemed to be a teen suicide spike, I'm sad that people chose to look at this show as an ideation of teen suicide, but it was a very real treatise on what it is to go through depression and suicidal thoughts and it's a topic that needs to be discussed openly instead of being swept under the carpet and ignored, belittled and stigmatized.

I applaud the show for the ground they broke. It needed to be.
Thanks for the suggestion @dietrichepp. Will definitely read.

Same for me, the doctor I saw did say (after 3 seconds) "it's not a cancer but we'll take a picture anyway to be sure." I wonder if the same sort of thing would have happened if there was any real question in his mind?

swiss I understand, how are the privacy laws in Romania
PGP is a two-party system. The sender has a public/private keypair, and the recipient has a public/private keypair.

The sender encrypts a message with the sender's priv key and the recipient's pub key.

The recipient decrypts the message with the the sender's pub key and the recipient's priv key.

> Almost all of the transactional emails I have received (receipts, confirmation numbers, etc) are probably unencrypted, right?

Totally up to your email provider and a sender's email provider. Your provider may choose to send/accept email over TLS, which is also encrypted. Gmail, for example, does this.
This is true. Your number is marked as real/responsive and recycled, sometimes resold.
So great to see Linux support .. and with REAPER now working pretty well on Linux too, it seems that Linux-based DAW's have a bit of future to them. It is really a great feeling to be able to take a project on MacOS and move it over to Linux seamlessly and without hassle.

Whoever is responsible for ensuring Surge is on Linux: thank you! This is really, really appreciated .. off to make a donation, for that fact alone.
You aren't paying for the apps here, you are paying for the online services. $8 per month is not too different from what you would pay for a hosted email these days. IMO, the cost sounds reasonable once you consider that it is a bundle.
Not having seen the show I can't agree that's it is garbage but personally, I am of the opinion, that if there was even a tinge of doubt in anyone's mind about the possibility of the show inspiring people to end their lives then it should never have been put on tv.
I see your point, but as they’ve also created the apps under their brand it seems likely the monthly fee would also go towards (hopefully!) the continued improvement of those apps.
TBH, its easily done in shell via REST API. We use custom pipeline runner from simple Powershell scripts that works even better for us then default style.

We set all jobs to manual and then our script triggers them depending on commit message, person, moon phase etc.

But really, this should be in core. Its very hard to do multirepository stuff. Its not that easy to do mono repo stuff too - I really need a pipeline withint sub-project, a mother pipeline, option to run whatever one I want etc... Gitlb pipelines could be a lot better.
Well, if you're going to be nice about it, here's some more info: The Mozilla discussion claims that TeX's line-breaking algorithm is "quadratic," which seems a bit far-fetched. So, I just pulled the raw text of Moby Dick off the web, removed the blank lines so it's all one paragraph, and ran it. TeX produces 112 pages (hmmm, it was just "Volume 1") in 2.1 seconds. So, 30x slower than "normal-size" paragraphs, but hardly quadratic, as the single-paragraph Moby Dick is 1000x as large as the average paragraph in The TeXbook. Of course, as pointed out elsewhere, with a little effort, one could make minor changes that would remove even this speed penalty.

I'm much more sympathetic to the point that, while TeX's line-breaking algorithm can easily handle paragraphs with different line lengths for each line, it needs to know at the start what the different line lengths are. It's not clear how to generalize it to be able to handle layouts where the length of the nth line of a paragraph depends on the earlier (or later!) line breaks. Think tall floating figures which impinge on the text area of the paragraph they're in. I'm guessing that was the real impediment in using it in Web-land.
AT&T’s fake 5GE icon has been added to AOSP
Unfortunately a lot of my extended family has gotten into Shinola watches because of familial origins in Detroit. At least they're still significantly cheaper than Rolexes while still doing a passable job of telling time, even if their resale value suffers?

I used to have a fun 24 hour analog quartz watch that I stopped wearing after I got a ~$150 Garmin fitness watch. This thing always tells perfect time because it syncs off my phone (including time changes from traveling or DST), has a GPS tracker for runs and bike rides, can measure heart rate, and pairs via Bluetooth and reads me incoming text messages.

It's crazy how, at much cheaper price, you get so much more functionality with a smart watch. And it's even better at being a watch! It just doesn't look as nice.
Electron isn't truly cross platform, I'd suggest trying Python with QT, its pretty snazzy and can run in a small footprint.
I had a gear S for 2 years before I gave it away recently. The look attracted some positive comments, and the rotating bezel was a favorite of mine.

Anything software was shit (ie poorly done/buggy), and samsung used a lot of dark patterns (you have to install an app to get the watch paired, which is fair, but it keeps nagging you to install a second app).

My friend and I were one of the first batch of people to get it (preorder a few months before release), and had some issues initially that they quickly resolved (by sending us new watches)
>They just shouldn't be thinking about stuff like that

Some of them are thinking about stuff like that. Some of them will act on those thoughts. If you don't open the conversation, you can't make a positive intervention.

The evidence clearly suggests that, while irresponsible reporting and fictional depictions of suicide can increase suicide rates, healthy conversations and questions about suicide reduce suicide.

If in doubt, ask.

It could be worse; in the Heian period the Emperor's job was performing religious rituals basically constantly, and it was widely recognized as so exhausting that emperors generally ruled for about a decade and then retired.

(This led to a small group of retired emperors, called the 'cloistered emperors', who were nominally Buddhist monks and ordinary citizens but in fact did much of the actual work of ruling the country, since the actual emperor was too busy with religious duties to exert much political power)

So long as the system is implemented in such as way as to stop it becoming a crutch or a default. If it's a tool in the flow then I think such things (not this one given the expert review information in this thread?) might be very valuable.
The article states "Researchers warn that their study could not prove causation.".

What about Romeo and Juliet? What about the Bible ( Jesus )? What about Socrates? Our cultural icons committed suicide. And if this show was funded Disney or NBC rather than Netflix, would we even have this study?

The 10-19 population in the US is about 42 million. And there was suicide increase of 195. Even if the study was true and all 195 committed suicide because of the show, should we stop the 42 million who didn't commit suicide from watching it?

I'm so disappointed at the comments here. Every single time, it seems like it's the "won't you think of the children" nanny state crowd supporting censorship. It's strange that art is being attacked and free expression.

Which is odd since the same people denouncing this show here are the same ones who attacked the study linking shows with transgender themes and increase in transgender association ( especially amongst young girls ).

So we do simply block everything anyone can say is bad for a small segment of the population?

Even more, do we stop the news from talking about it because doesn't the media coverage of suicide also increase suicides? Should media be banned from coverage suicide of celebrities? How much of the increase in suicide was a result of media coverage over the show?

Once again, is it because the demographics skews so old here? I just can't understand the shortsighted support for censorship here. How can someone be on "hacker" news and have a "nanny state" mindset.
I mostly agree with this. Like I said, I think it's ok to criticize and talk about it. My point is that no artist is under any obligation to bend to the will of critics.

The "blanket" (pumped molten salt is frequently cited, or more exotic material, many feet thick) is needed to turn fast neutrons into heat, thence to boil water to drive a turbine.

But the equipment to contain the plasma, many, many tons of expensive stuff, has to be inside the blanket, and is destroyed in short order by neutron flux.

The "envelope" that keeps your "blanket" from spilling out all over the floor, a monstrous apparatus of pipes, is also being irradiated, but there are materials for the pipes that can stand up to it for a while.

This envelope is made in hundred-ton sections bolted together so it can be drained periodically and sections replaced. The used ones are radioactive and need to be kept somewhere safe.

This is all hugely expensive, finicky work that is very dangerous to be around, so you need even bigger remote-operated machines to do it.

My comment ignores the leverage and just looks at the downpayment alone.

To your point, their $100k gain at 5x leverage kind sucks compared to a $110k gain at zero leverage.
I agree, they should do one or the other.

The imbalance is totally artificial and objectionable though. Where's the evidence that doctors see a 80/20 split in real life? If there is going to be an imbalance they should make it reflect the actual statistics of the task that the doctors perform not some artificial number. It doesn't even reflect the statistics of the dataset they started with (which is 90/10 unblanaced).

Admittedly, the correct analysis for when the data is unbalanced is more annoying and ROC curves are easier to interpret. That's why in something like ImageNet even though the training set is imbalanced, the test set is is balanced.

Comparisons against humans are also harder when the data is imbalanced in a way that reflects the training set, not the task. Humans don't know they are supposed to say "no" 80% of the time. That rewards the machine and that isn't easy to correct (you can correct what you think about the machine results with respect to a baseline, but not what biases the humans had).
Yes I think so. At our place all data scientist/big data types are given high end MBPs and >2 good quality 4K monitors. All other typical IT devs are given a low-end 15W HP laptop and 2 HD monitors again from HP. Low quality Windows machines have been mandated right from top IT leadership. So I think data scientists are important enough if they can override or get exception to standard issue hardware/software.
On a related note - I've had the opposite experience but it wasn't with telecom related services - it was cloud services. A friend of mine started a business that focuses on the highly anticipated luxury clothing and sneaker releases. He basically does a proxy business that routes traffic through his network so that people can use multiple IPs that aren't banned on those retailers websites so that they can purchase multiple units of these products which are usually restricted to one per customer.

We had a lot of trouble finding a reliable cloud services provider. Even though none of this is illegal at all, a bunch of them have clauses against it in the service agreement. So we avoided those. We figured the ones that didn't have it shouldn't have any problems because nothing was illegal and it's not like we are abusing the cloud services - we're talking about a significant amount of time with nothing on the network (that we pay them for) and then a short burst of traffic that is still low on bandwidth while all the clients are trying to hit the sites up at the same time. But one after another kept cancelling our accounts, citing a violation of the terms of service. We pressed a number of them for an explanation. Many just ignored us. A few outright lied and said they received complaints from ISPs about our IPs sending spam emails. I challenged them on that because nothing of what we did or any of our client did was sending emails. And we tightly controlled the network traffic, ports, etc. So it's simply not possible, they were lying to get rid of us because their terms didn't account for it. To this day, I still can't figure out why all these providers were so against what we were doing. Eventually my friend explained his use case to the CEO of one of the companies and they signed and agreement and were totally fine with everything so I'm really perplexed.

Considering that the ground truth comes from humans I would say that humans always outperform NN's and that results which show otherwise are demonstrating the limitations of the data set or testing process.
