> Isn't that a bit like asking how many pedestrians you can hit and still keep your license?

This is nothing like that. Hitting or not hitting a pedestrian is binary, and there is a clear way to determine fault. We often call car collisions "accidents", but they aren't. Someone did something wrong to cause a collision.

The issue here is that you can be discriminatory "by accident". You can be 100% race blind and have the best intentions in the world and work very hard to be equitable but still have the slightest bias due to the nature of the data.

In fact, when poverty is correlated with race so strongly, I would argue it's impossible for a bank not to accidentally discriminate. A bank isn't going to lend you someone who is unlikely to pay it back - there's nothing racist about that. But they have had a disparate impact.

It's a very sticky situation.

Otherwise interesting article, though I disagree with this idea that its "less" like scissors and "more" like malware. They pretty much are molecular scissors, but they're definitely not malware. They're actually the anti-virus system of a bacteria. Calling them malware doesn't make sense as a metaphor (they arent Infcetious etc) and just confuses things more.

He probably can but MTurk is superior because of liquidity and flexibility. There are very few jobs in which value is created and paid for in a span of a minute. By turning dead time into money, generating money in a way you could not for other jobs.

And a BA isn’t worth much regardless. Half the people I knew in college now work at coffee shops.

A general good rule is what when you see someone do something, there’s probably a, if not good, understandable reason for it.

Good question. I wondered the same when I noticed you can enable using an "alphanumeric pin" which happens to be the same as your password.
Those are reasonable questions. At work, we release lots of data under OGL (Open Government Licence) which is CC compatible.

For my personal stuff, if you'd like a different license, I'm happy for you to pay me for a more restrictive one. But if you build an ML using my open data, I expect that model to be released under a similarly licence.

My first team lead was a 10x developer; I still remember searching for the j2ME code that would have taken us two weeks to complete that he wrote overnight -- I remember how dismayed I was to find it all directly in the keyboard event method instead of being spread over to various places it should have been.

Yeah I agree, I assume this is actually the main reason he is so well known and celebrated today. Mere obsession with computers would make Godel, Alonso Church, and others with equivalent models of computation just as famous.

Perhaps you work on windows (and are required to), or you like playing AAA videogames. Two use-cases where not using windows is not an option, but a requirement.
Fair enough, but there are risks there, too. Not claiming that it is necessarily the case, but when one has a fixed income job and a variable income one, effort and attention tends to skew to a variable one (you get soame $$ from the other one regardless). So your main job (promotions, etc.) can suffer.

And for a long game one will likely get much further by investing in primary job or developing new skills (teaching math to kids, home improvements, whatever) that gets them out of competing with millions of unskilled, low wage participants in MTurk.

I view MTurk as temporary fix for desperate times only. My 2c.
Although not commonly used, it seems the Swiss do not have such skepticism of high-value notes.

I would routinely pay for things (groceries, electronics, etc.) with 100CHF and 200CHF notes without the cashiers batting an eye, while I used the 1000CHF note once or twice for large purchases.
Kotlin is a much larger than Scala on syntax, has 100+ keywords and built-ins, compiles slower, all while having a way weaker OO system and and doing a small fraction of what Scala does.
In Russia banks love giving out 500 euro notes when you exchange rubles to euros, the problem is most places in Europe don't accept 500 euro notes for payment, even for sums that are more than 500 euro (such as paying for hotel stay). From what I heard even most banks won't accept them unless you have an account, so they're totally useless to bring for a euro trip.

People [wrongly] get called a paedophile for such behaviour and get pilloried in the social press.

Of course none of that relates to his fantastic achievements in computing.

In a part of London with many tourists, I saw them used by people ahead of me in the queue daily. There are some cash machines somewhere in London that dispense them -- possibly in Canary Wharf, I forget.

Conversely, I don't think I've seen a cash machine with fivers.

Given the prevalence of the “all taxes are bad” narrative that’s effectively cut taxes over the past couple of decades I’m not surprised. The money has to come from somewhere, so if the honest way of getting money is blocked the dishonest ones have to be used.

The compiler does not enforce it though. It only implements the abstract machine, and the implementation is only correct for UB-free programs.

Exploring human vs. machine learning (one blogpost at a time)
Ah, I knew my analogy would bite me :)
I didn't mean IO as in "can change at any moment", but as in "read from a file but you have no idea what it is".

You definitely _can_ look at each function in isolation (in this example it's even sufficient to get the "best" possible version of that function"), but I do know that you'd usually do an inline pass, and further optimization passes afterwards. I don't see how that changes anything, though. If the function was inlined you'd get the same expression, and still you'd be unable to tell anything about `x`, except that it would have a definite value that you cannot observe. Again, you could argue that no matter the value, the expression would be `true`, so you could replace it.

It might make you feel better to know that he was convicted under the age of consent law, which was 21 at the time. (The kid was 19.) It wasn't entirely fair because they made the age of consent higher for gays (edit: I had it wrong, the age of majority was 21 in all cases), but at least he wasn't convicted purely for being gay. The teenager was not punished.
Assuming you have two €20 notes, which have no other purpose, making change from €50 is no different to making change from €10.

It's more likely a concern about a counterfeit note, although I've never had that problem with a €50.

No, you can definitely beat Rembrandt's skills if you spend your whole life doing it as hard as you can. This is why you shouldn't use 10x label, it is wrong and goes against everything we know about the world. It merely tries to put down people, convince people that they simply can be bad at the job, which cannot be farther from the truth. People are just different, have different backgrounds, different experience, different skills. Which means depending on circumstances some people have to learn new skills and start figuring things out from scratch, while some could already be years ahead. This is important, as even the most unmotivated, unhappy, skeptical person in the worst conditions, but a domain expert of a big complex domain will still do a better job, than someone who needs to spend years before even starting doing the job.

Anyway, 10x label is harmful and disrespectful. But I guess this is true for labeling people in general.
That and it is really tedious to spell out "less than or equal to", in German we have a much shorter phrase for it ("kleiner-gleich").

> Solar panels are tricky because they rely on certain elements which are rather rare actually

Which elements are you thinking of? The vast majority of PV being made today is silicon. The only rare element used in PV is silver for front contact wires, and that can be substituted for with proper design (copper wires can be used if a diffusion barrier layer of nickel or molybdenum is used to prevent its reaction with silicon.)

A difference is that Digg didn't keep the old design around. With Reddit you can simply use old.reddit and forget about the redesign while being in the same communities you were already (no need to wait for the entire community to move). Considering that Reddit already has two mobile interfaces (i.reddit.com - which i personally prefer due to it being very fast - and m.reddit.com) and two desktop interfaces, i doubt they'll drop old.reddit at any point.

It is a form of backwards compatibility on a UX level.

That's a co-op, surely? It's not exactly unknown!
That's interesting. In Germany I might get a strange look if I pay for my coffee with a 50€ bill but it's usually accepted unless they actually don't have enough change. It's certainly no problem at a supermarket, even paid with 100€ bill a few times (because there is this stupid ATM near my workplace that doesn't ask which bills I want and just gives me 100 if I chose that amount and I forget almost every time). Judging from other comments here it seems outside London you really have trouble paying with that 50£ bill. I have seen one supermarket had a sign up saying they don't accept 200€ bills so far.

I'm curious about other countries now because I never really gave that a thought. I was surprised though when I was in China for the first time and learned the largest one is 100rmb which was around 10€ at that point. It's now more like 15€ and China is rapidly changing to a completely cashless society anyways but it was really weird back then; since using the ATM included a fee, you would get like 4000 bucks at once (depending on how long you stayed) and run around with 40 bills in your pocket.

Sorry for this off-topic comment, I am not pro-Trump and not American, but I cannot help but have negative feelings towards the obvious grains of bias against Trump and Thiel in the article. Probably, because I am from an ex-Soviet bloc country and sensitive to the media propaganda language. Examples:

- “the Trump regime”. We use “regime” for the countries led by dictators who are not friends of USA, right? Since when Trump is a dictator?

- Mentioning Thiel’s comments about fat people, etc. How does it contribute to the main problem? It looks like another cheap manipulation - like “boo, see, Thiel is crazy!”

You're making it sound a lot nicer than it actually is. Few issues are: you don't know if you're going to get a good boss before accepting the job, your boss can change attitude with no notice, power dynamics are impossible to ignore, your boss can fire you for no reason much of the the US, very difficult to know company culture without knowing insiders, you get fired and your life becomes significantly more difficult while your employer is mildly inconvenienced.

The table on the mock-up banknote shows a fragment of a Turing Machine, taken from his paper introducing TMs (https://www.cs.virginia.edu/~robins/Turing_Paper_1936.pdf#pa...). Unfortunately, the chosen fragment is just used by Turing to establish notation and is otherwise meaningless. I hope in the final version they use better formulas, for example from the construction of the universal machine.
What prevents them is the inability to teach students beyond "click the button that looks _precisely_ like this to get the desired effect".

That is, they consider knowledge gained in one of these applications to be non-transferable to other, similar applications.

Never mind that nobody ever made a fuss about our driver's license system where you typically learn on a single car model, with the expectation that even the biggest idiot can cope with different placements of the lighting controls or a different number of gears on their manual transmission.

I've lived in London (even fairly recently) on 32K :-) No kids, but a non-working wife... I have a bad habit of taking jobs that look like fun rather than pay well :-D I'm not being sarcastic when I say that you can probably draw that line pretty arbitrarily and make a pretty good case that you are giving up something crucial if you go below that level. Even being single, though, I think it would challenge the most frugal person to live on less than 25K in London. For a spouse and 2 kids... a heck of a lot more, to be completely fair.
You are making exactly the mistake the post is all about. :)

Only UB-free programs can be made sense of by looking at their assembly. Whether a program has UB is impossible to tell on that level. For that, you need to think in terms of the abstract machine.

I mean, look at the code I wrote! It literally compares `x` with 150 and 120. That's the program I wrote. This program has a "meaning"/"behavior" that is entirely irrelevant of compilers and optimizations, and determined by the langauge specification. How can you argue that it does compare `x`?
