Oddly a google search leads to lots of discussion on this topic with no agreement.

Alongside a donation link, you should put a "purchase a license" or "purchase a subscription" link. That way, an engineer can upload the resulting receipt to expensify and get reimbursed by their employer.

Employers are used to paying for software licenses out of engineering budgets; Donations would generally come out of a different budget managed by someone an engineer doesn't work with day-to-day.
Has anyone looked into using this (or a similar tool) for financial modeling? Seems like this has a lot of the "no programming" aspect of spreadsheets while allowing for a more intuitive approach to visualizing how the data flows in a financial model

One of the creators here -- gathering the Danbooru data in one place was definitely a big help! Anime's been a pretty nice space (both personally and research-wise) especially due to the abundance of data online, and it's great that we no longer have to manually scrape image hosts (which I've spent many hours doing in the past @ https://github.com/kvfrans/deepcolor, https://canvasdrawer.autodeskresearch.com/ etc).
The employee has responded to all other questions that don't touch on the specifics of their fraud detection algo.

After those responses it sounds like they have a behavioral threshold that looks something like: "x number of videos that include an external link or html that have been created or updated within x period of time for a specific account or ip address", where the limits are probably much tighter on the free accounts.

Hope you guys get acquired by someone that recognizes the talent of your team. You deserve it.
I think about this a lot. It seems that there must be some benefit to society from having certain members contribute but not reproduce. Obviously, from a purely darwinistic point of view, you would think that biological organisms that don't want to reproduce would have been bred out of the gene pool a long time ago. However, to answer your question, your parents had a child that cares intensely about their craft, so maybe it doesn't matter in the long run.
The water makes it less likely for waste to stick to the dry surface and accumulate, and also reduces odour. Splashing is more of an unfortunate side-effect of that design choice.

I've even been in toilets here where I had to take measures not to have my genitals end up dipping in it.

That's a bit too high, however.
Your question is utterly off-topic on this thread. But the short answer is that you can’t, it’s fundamentally impossible. Garbage collection still requires that memory access be principled, so that it can determine when something is no longer in use; but things like pointer manipulation in C scupper that.
Not exactly outside, but in a building without air conditioning yes.

Yea, the only way it would help you learn the tools is by helping you articulate why the tools serve a business need--thereby making it easier to allocate time/money for the tools.
The advantage of making something illegal that a lot of law-abiding people would otherwise use, is that, even though criminals by definition ignore the law, law enforcement now knows anyone using that thing is a criminal. It has a tremendous effect on how easy it is to identify the criminals.
Lack of standards for stall doors (its probably not in the code so anything goes and I suspect if the door is closer to the floor it needs a more precise (expensive) installation.

Lack of code is also probably the cause of the randomness of urinal heights.

No, even toilets in new buildings don’t flush well. I mentioned that I’ve seen toilets that pass a great deal of water—-more than is typical in the US and Canada—-and still can’t get rid of a bundle of toilet paper. Blockages downstream may or may not happen, but that’s irrelevant to my question because the toilets do flush, the water leaves immediately (implying that the drain pipe is clear and nothing is backed up from downstream), but the waste and paper don’t leave as quickly. The problem has to be something at or near the toilet. As I said, I suspect narrower drain pipes or deeper and longer P-traps.
In California, software engineers are exempt from overtime protections if they are "highly compensated" which is around $90,000 a year or $45 an hour and 50% of the time is spent coding, designing, testing, or documenting.
The one thing I've always wanted from identicons is for the system to use a mixed generator composed of at least 20 different algorithms, that all produce results that are completely different-in-kind (like abstract shapes vs. cartoon monsters vs. anime girls vs. swatched spirographs vs. pixel cities vs. ...), such that it's unlikely that any two anonymous users in a smaller conversation will end up with identicons that you have to inspect to differentiate. (E.g. hopefully, if there are two users with identicons of the same style, then they would have very different base colors, which is impossible if all the identicons are of the same style.)

>Does Dr. Epstein stake any of his claims on his personal credibility in his article?

Yes, he clearly does. Why else would he spend most of the first three paragraphs detailing his credentials if he didn't think they would lend himself credibility? Which do you think is more relevant to the current discussion, the degree he earned from Harvard nearly 40 years ago or the event that seemingly got him interested in Google's "censorship" in 2012 and kicked off his research?

>Why not attack the substance of the article instead of going with the the classic "slander the opposition" play that all kinds of disingenuous actors regularly employ?

A large part of the substance rests on the idea that Google is biased. Not that they are falsifying the facts, that they are displaying facts in such a way as to intentionally manipulate the behavior of the people reading those facts. How is it off the table to mirror the same question back to Epstein and ask whether maybe he has biases that have caused him (perhaps even subconsciously) to gather and present the facts in such a way as to show his intended result?

This testimony isn't an apolitical peer reviewed scientific paper. It is a plea in front of the US Senate for political action. I think it is fair to ask the motivation behind that political action and whether Epstein put the cart before the horse in his research. However, I will be the first to admit that doesn't necessarily invalidate his arguments. I pointed that out in the first sentence of my first comment.

>For all I know you're part of a FUD campaign from Google.

I hope the irony in this accusation was intentional.
Honestly I'd start with high frequency, non-high-speed rail. With no new track or stations, a lot of routes would be competitive with driving if they just ran more often and reliably.
Or, to think of that another way, something doesn't have to be inherently creepy for someone to be creeped out by that thing. Sometimes disgust is a fact about the person who's disgusted, rather than a fact about the world.

That's because, even with all its faults, averaged over all travelers it beats the heck out of all the other alternatives for trips that would take more than a few hours by car or train. Scalzi's experience, as messed up as it was, is an outlier.

Compensation is good but exciting job is a bonus by itself.
One problem is that the rail routes themselves are incredibly expensive; they involve rights of way through valuable urban land and across multiple states. If you're going to invest billions in new passenger rail routes, you need the ridership to fund it, and if you're running the kinds of routes Amtrak does today (outside of Acela), you're not getting those riders.

One reason existing tracks and routes don't run that frequently is that there aren't the passengers to make them worthwhile. Another is that those tracks are also used for freight.
Usually these kinds of articles avoid the obvious fact, that ancient civilizations were based on plunder and exploitation, and that eventually you run out of places to plunder or your victims adapt and fight back. This was surprising because it seems like that wasn’t the case.
Not just Brazil. Same story in South Korea (Seoul specifically I remember) and much of Thailand. My understanding is that the sewage infrastructure can't handle it. Those are fairly old cities, even if the building is new, it eventually drains into something that may be hundreds of years old.
Bankruptcy is a federal statue not state. And the law is extremely complex. I don't disagree people should be informed but this requires an attorney to properly prepare.

If the investment was debt equity versus a priced round that also drasticly affects the options available.

IANAL but there are a couple of ways this could work out in your Companies favor.

Facebook started sending me newsfeed notifications to the number I'd registered for 2FA, around a year after I'd done so, without any opt-in on my part.

After the first few, I passive-aggressively texted "go away" back to the robot buzzing my phone. Within the hour, I started receiving concerned messages from friends asking whether I was alright... Turns out Facebook posts anything you text it straight to your profile, and the out-of-context "go away" read like cry for help.

Oh the evolutionary answer is easy. If your parents have a gene that can make you behave in a way that reduces the chance of you reproducing, but changes your behavior in such a way that increases the chance of your kin surviving, then that gene is in good position to spread in the population through your siblings.

Of course that doesn't work so well when the average fertility rate is less than 2 children per couple.

Also, the same gene can sometimes have a positive and negative effect on your chances of reproducing at the same time. For instance, suppose there's a gene that makes you want to work out instead of have sex. That might just increase your chances more than decrease in an environment where you need strength to survive (or that partners are attracted to that).

Thank you! This is helpful. Will discuss further with Cooley. They weren’t too stressed about it, but since the investor is getting more motivated to sell, I’m trying to best educate myself
They do advertise very aggressively, to the point where I think they risk damaging their reputation. But I guess they've done the analysis and decided it's worth it.

I went through their process and got lots of practice interviewing. Even though I didn't take any of the offers I got through them I was able to use one to negotiate a much higher salary at the job I did take. Their recruiters and interviewers treated me respectfully and professionally.

So I'd recommend it, especially if you're very good and/or smart but not an attractive candidate by conventional standards. If you have 5 years at Microsoft or something then you probably don't need them, since you can interview wherever you want at that point.
it's the scale that may tip the balance from voicing your opinion to mass-manipulation. i am not saying that online speech is mass-manipulation, but it has the potential to be, whereas the other has not. and because of this potential they need to be considered separately.

fwiw, an online "go vote" is not manipulation if it's not targeted even if the audience is an uneven demographic, but "i like ike" is. and while google search may have a younger demographic, they certainly don't intentionally limit that, since they want everyone to use google search.

HN is not a historical archive, much less one of how used programming languages are. Rust is interesting to a lot of people because it's fundamentally different in a few aspects than most other languages, and that difference also happens to coincide with some people's complaints about how hard it is to program safe systems.

I'm not really sure what you're expecting. Haskell gets a vastly disproportionate amount of time here compared to it's actual usage also, and PHP gets almost no coverage at all, but we all know it's out there in force, and so are the people that program it. Should we be pushing for a lot more PHP content? What about COBOL content? That's still in use, and I can't remember the last time I saw a submission about that.
Do genes really matter all that much? Speaking as a typical armchair expert here. Judging from a few of the latest pop-sci books on heredity, 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.

There's an interesting anecdote to support it. When the Soviet Union (with all its faults) was established, it has provided education to much broader masses of the population than ever before. You know how it turned out? When you read the biographies of the many of the brightest academics of the USSR, many of them are descendants of a typical peasant family. Some of their parents weren't able to read or write, had a lot of children, etc. This "genetic handicap" didn't stop them from getting a degree and becoming bright scientists.
It is just me, or does "at least once a month" not really seem like regular interaction with friends?

He’s one of the great minds of his generation but his insecurity complex is so severe that he constantly needs to boast about himself and his achievements to an extent that is unbecoming even in a professional athlete.

Even in this eulogy to a dead friend he is content marketing Mathematica’s numerical precision.

The failure of the tech world to produce a truly good, useful, immersive, generative mobile media device and ecosystem is profoundly troubling.

The challenges are not technical, nor are they inherent to devices. I supect it's a combination of business models and IP law (copyright, patents, and others) which are holding us back.

In the past 24 hours, I've been tracking down works by an author, including one book for which Worldcat has a single listing, Amazon has none, and a few physical copies may be found apparently with a surviving co-author, at, as it happens, Edith Cowan University in Australia.

Oh: and Google have digitised this work, much of it is readable through the abysmal Google Books interface. But with sufficient limitations that I'd prefer re-typing the content by hand, as I've done for other works:

https://pastebin.com/raw/fZajYSGa

This allows me to produce multile formats readily via Pandoc, including HTML, PDF, ePub, and others.

I've used several ebook readers, all have distinct limitations. Pocketbook on Android is amomg the better, though its poor metadata management (No author field!!! Abysmal editing interface) is a constant frustration.

For Apple, lack of a mature console userland as with Android's Termux is a killer. For Android, everything but Termux is abysmal.

"It's a tough world in software dev if you aren't the type to constantly overestimate your worth."

Well put. I was talking to a friend recently about the difference between mediocre and very successful engineers, and that quality came to mind as the biggest predictor of success. Don't think of yourself in terms of how effective you currently are, think of how effective you _could_ be. Assume that you can figure out pretty much anything given enough time. But don't be too cocky to ask for help.

Contrast that with mediocre candidates: ask them to solve something they've never done before, and they won't even try because they assume they're not good enough.
This is normal per course for anime subculture today.
C'mon. This is splitting hairs. No one doing anything serious, changes their language syntax for their production code overnight. Just think of what this could possibly mean for those people. They need to retrain their people on the new syntax, new ways of maintaining them and who knows what other regression comes along with it(Test cases, deployment, libraries, performance etc). All of this for 0 gains, when better programming languages committed to maintaining backwards compatibility exist.

I think we should settle for the fact that Racket is more like a toy language for teaching purposes. That is ok, given its use case.
Well-documented ancient civilizations tend to be the conquer-and-plunder typer, sure, but there's an obvious survivorship bias there.
Take what follows with a grain of salt, these are just thoughts that quickly crossed my mind, I haven't spent much time elaborating the ethics of this all.

First I thought of all the things that warrant and don't warrant jail time, the financial crimes, the inappropriate loaning practices, the breaking of NDAs, the intentional lock in that some software systems put in place, the theft of code by John Carmack, the lack of security measures to protect user data of most companies, the inappropriate use of open source work without respecting the license terms, etc. If these don't warrant jail time, why this?

Then I just wondered about the inherent act. Let's say it was unethical. It still feels harsh to me to give it jail time. You say great damage, but I see it more as lesser benefits. Clearly, the excel sheets actually saved the company money over many years, otherwise they would just have gone back to doing it manually or paid for some other system. This is even including the time bomb. So overall it feels like Siemens was still content and happy with the whole thing. There was no act of say infecting other systems or stealing data, or ramsoning, etc.

Then I wondered about the precedent this can set. Could I be liable for jail time for a bug I mistakenly introduced, what if a company with good lawyers made a case it was introduced on purpose as a time bomb? Maybe I made a variable an int instead of a long one day and it overflows and I get sent to jail for it? Do I have to worry about that now? Any limits I put in a system could be seen as a time bomb and cause me to go to jail.

Finally I thought about the idea of shelf life. I hire a home contractor and they cheap out on the number of nails and material used? Doubt they go to jail for that, even though it was intentional. What about appliance manufacturer building appliances they know won't last very long? What about products that can't be repaired intentionally? None of that, that I know of, results in Jail time? So why is making software that doesn't last forever warranting jail time? Why isn't just contractual? Did they specify how long it had to work? Why can't software have a shelf life?
