I’ve been using Metabase off and on in prod since 2016. I think you guys are really onto something and I love seeing Clojure in a popular OSS project. I know you guys just got some money; here’s my pitch to make it count: Metabase would be a lot more sticky if you provided a robust home for annotation and discussion. You’re better than most at letting admins describe data, but often users want to talk about the data they are discovering. Doing so in the context of the data is so much more effective than talking about it in generalities in Slack. I think Yellowfin has some features around discussion but there is always room for improvement. Maybe one could: Comment on a data point, write an explanation for why a date range has weird data, or tag a colleague to ask about an outlier in their dept. Celebrate wins with emojis? All I know is that there is nothing stickier or more engaging than discussion history. Keep up the good fight!

While I have you here...

I would guess (I'm not a lawyer) that a commercial model would be in the clear as long as the company doesn't release anything including the data itself. Model weights that are derived from the data are not the data.

I would make an analogy where the training data is like a textbook. If I read in a textbook about how to design/build a bridge, I don't have to give royalties to the textbook author when my civil engineering and construction firm gets paid to build a bridge. The copyright/license of the textbook can't prevent me from using the knowledge gained from the book to do a commercial job. In a similar vein, the knowledge gained from a public data set is probably fair game for whatever you want, just as long as you aren't repackaging the data itself. There's probably a good boundary requiring someone to stop at a point where the model weights can't be used to reconstruct the original data.

Of course, other people can disagree. I would look forward to an actual legal opinion to clear this up.
How much genes matter vs culture depends on the variance of each of those factors in the sampled population. You aren't going to win a Nobel prize if you are a dog, no matter how top-quality your education. You aren't going to win a Nobel prize if you are a feral child, no matter how high your IQ is. That's how much both culture and genetics matter.
It is irregular I agree, and it is common. Depending how you slice it though; does communicating daily over the net count as surrogate of interaction? At what rate?
This comment thread sparked a new Wikipedia tangent for me:

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

Apparently, the "before present" time scale is commonly used in archaeology and geology, and uses an epoch date of Jan 1, 1950. And there're two reasons for this: radiocarbon dating was first standardized in the 1950s, using a reference sample from 1950; and after the 1950s, widespread nuclear testing made radiocarbon dating inaccurate.

It's actually less arbitrary and shortsighted than it seems. Future civilizations are going to face a discontinuity in the archaeological record, and it'll be roughly at the Before Present epoch date.
Mindfulness / awareness meditation.

Seriously, if there's one thing I could tell my 18 year old self, it would be to learn to meditate and trust in the process. I tried very unsuccessfully to start a few times (guided meditation really isn't my jam), but quickly formed a habit once I found what works for me. It has been seriously life changing and has improved my relationship with myself and others at work and at home.
The zero year for the "Before Present(BP)" timescale is 1950. BP was used by carbon dating scientists first and 1950 was a nice round date a few years before the year when carbon dating[1] no longer worked due to atmospheric nuclear testing.

This is just how it is when you get older. You’ll see friends maybe once a month for an average of 4 hours or so, basically 0.5% of your year. The rest of the time you spend sleeping, eating, working, occupying yourself with other activities that make up life. One day you might just wake up and realize all your friends are dead and buried, and if you are the last one left then you know you’re next. It’s over. Where did life go?

I want to point out that the linked article is hyperbolic (as most “Japanese people aren’t having kids/sex/etc.” articles are), and its title is outright misleading.

It claims that Japan has the lowest birth rate ever. And while it may have the lowest number of births, that is to be expected in any country with a birth rate below replacement - I.e basically the entire developed world.

In fact, as opposed to the US, UK, Canada, Australia and New Zealand, Japan’s fertility rate has actually been increasing for some years now. See details here: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/SPDYNTFRTINJPN

I agree that the wording of "allow you to interview" is pretentious, but the end result is commonplace. Successful Kaggle competitors score job interviews all the time because of their performance. Getting an interview is a two-way street. The company needs to give you an invite and you need to accept. Doing well in the competition will get you an invite.

> Shouldn't the people who care so much about their craft that they forgo relationships be precisely the kind that we'd want to preserve the genes of?

Why?

I'd rather preserve the genes of the people who care so much about human relationships that they forego any craft, but neither extreme is really optimal.
I did a lot of travelling in Europe earlier in the year, and had McDonald's in a lot of different cities in different countries. What really helped were the automatic digital kiosks that you can just order from (without talking to a cashier). They had the official languages of the country, plus always English as an option so you'd always be able to use the machine. You get assigned a number and then just wait for your number to pop up - no conversation at all except a little thank you when you pick up your food.

I'm also really interested in renting an RV and just driving across the US. Seems like a relaxed way to travel.

I thought it was a great way to get introduced to Rust, especially when concurrency comes into play. Having only ever written this sort of code in C/C++/Java, the way Rust required me to rethink my design to properly incorporate its concurrency model was really interesting to me.

For some reason sharing "references" in a formal way felt a lot different than what I was used to, and I'm not sure why. I'd say I prefer it, perhaps because it made my design feel more deliberate.

Sure. Want a job? The "Who is hiring?" post:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19797601

It's pretty normal for federal contractors. I think the legal requirement is that 48 hours means overtime, and a bad company might thus expect 47 while paying for only 40, but I get overtime right from the first extra moment. If I work 42 hours, I get 105% of normal pay for that week.

Usually I just work 40. I've known people to work 60, giving themselves 150% of normal pay.

Less is OK too, by prior agreement. We've set people up for 30 before. Most of the benefits are pro-rated, but we'd still cover the health insurance fully. You could still work more and get paid for those extra hours, but the benefits would be according to how many hours you signed up to work. Examples: If you sign up for 32 hours but work 38 hours, you get 80% benefits and 95% pay. If you sign up for 30 hours but work 50 hours, you get 75% benefits and 125% pay.

Yes.

That's not really much better than “judging from my newspaper horoscope”.

> I was under the impression that culture and nurture play a much greater role: high quality medicine, food rich in nutrients, good education available to all.

Those play a huge role in whether genetic potential will be reached, genetics play a huge role in the actual outcome given similar environment.

You describe an socioeconomic handicap, not a genetic one, so it doesn't really say anything about the effects of genetics.

Censorship of what exactly? You're free to self host your own services. At what point does censorship become a catch-all for muh free speech. These people want to push agendas and then when people don't want to hear it they are like.. muh free speech has been violated. But as soon as you go into a live chat and give a differing opinion then they block you. No one is going after retail stores for kicking people out or banning them when people cause a scene. Why can't tech companies kick people off their platforms that they host and own? If the government wants to start an all inclusive social network that doesn't block people then let them. But when they try to tell companies that they need to be broken up for some misconception that they are censoring conservative posts (although they never post proof but love to spread the fear) then you are just welcoming tech to be controlled by a political ideology which is far more dangerous. I especially don't trust this administration to "do the right thing" and expect most people supporting this are not trying to "do the right thing" either.

Oceans are vast, craft are small.

Minerve was not under rogue command as seems highly likely of MH370, incommunicado, and thousands of miles off-course. She didn't face a terminal impact at many hundreds of miles per hour. Submarine construction is vastly more substantial than airframes, and includes far more ferrous material, leaving a magnetic and sonar signature far greater than aluminium.

What remains of MH370 are small pieces widely scattered in an unknown area with a huge degree of uncertainty, having travelled many hours some 50 times faster than Minerve.

The location difficulty is not remotely comparable.
Julia has raised millions of dollars in funding, and includes some pretty big names- National Science Foundation, DARPA, and a pretty big chunk from venture capital as well. They don't have a benevolent sponsor like Python has enjoyed from Google, but they're doing alright.

They aren't as big as Python because Python has been around for nearly 30 years. Julia is just a baby compared to that. As it grows it will increase it's share. It may not ever surpass Python in terms of raw users, because Julia is focused on numerical computing, but Python is more general purpose.
Overall many more people will know scale now, so I don't necessarily think it's as bad as many think. Maybe not the best choice of words obviously...
could you elaborate how it compares to fork and why it would be better?

as someone who is training developers, cross-platform is a critical feature. gitup fails on that. on the other hand it's FOSS, another critical feature for me. fork fails on that one.

so it's a tossup, and i probably can't recommend either for those reasons.
Still odd Lyft doesn't credit this when posting about it.
This really depends. Would say the biggest factor is kids.

Also, a revelation I’ve had as a millennial gay man is because the rate of having kids is relatively low among gay men in particular, anecdotally gay male friends stay in touch at a higher rate than straight counterparts even as we get older.

Not necessarily always a good thing, though. Especially in SF gay culture feels even more “Peter Pan” like.

It's not really curious at all. I've been a Tesla investor since the IPO and continue to buy on the "dips". Hasn't failed me yet. Tesla has enjoyed a very solid two week bull run. The shorts are hurting, and right on queue, the very peculiar articles come out. Bloomberg has put out many Tesla articles. Same with Business Insider, who just yesterday ran an article of "Man, driving a Tesla, runs a red light. Killing two pedestrians." ... How is that news? Had it been any other vehicle, the vehicle model would not have been named and it would not be NATIONAL news.

I'm also on my second Tesla. You could offer me a Ferrari/Lambo/whatever, I'm keeping the Tesla.

Although this article is about collisions in the hash function applied to strings, for numeric values Python uses a
hash() function that is not only easy to generate collisions for but actually to invert (and find all inverses). I learned about this when writing this answer:

• https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56227419/why-does-python...

and details and code on how to invert are here:

• https://stackoverflow.com/a/56248241/4958

(Needless to say, this is quite straightforward and trivial compared to collisions on strings; nevertheless it may be of some interest to someone.)

Okay, prove it. Show your evidence that Bloomberg has been swayed by Big Auto.
This really is mistaking the symptoms for the cause.
No. Although, the last bullet point you have listed may give you an idea of how satisfied you are with your current job. I used to regularly apply for jobs, but I finally found a position that I don't feel that urge. I'm getting competitive pay, I am well appreciated, and I enjoy the work. It also affords me a hobby where I can have fun outside of my work day (and invest in side goals). Personally, that is all I'm looking for at the moment. So you searching for jobs may indicate that you (perhaps unknowingly) are dissatisfied with your work on some level. YMMV.
