Pretty neat but 2 problems for me:
1) wish it was free like Slack and pay to upgrade for advanced feature
2) wish it had chat feature. not everyone will be available to talk in which we will have to switch back and forth with Slack or some other messaging tools.

Depends on how it's done, but if penalties are sufficiently large for that, hopefully not. Especially if we give big awards to bounty hunters and whistleblowers who find malfeasance.
Epstein wasn't much of a secret, he was convicted (and got a ridiculously favorable plea deal) back in 2008.
It's not only worse, though. The internet has also made it much easier to access and spread true information. Without the internet, there could be no WikiLeaks. Let's not forget, as well, that the most objectively harmful "fake news" in recent American history was not perpetrated by random Facebook posts, but by the major news outlets themselves, and even heavily pushed by the New York Times - the disinformation campaign surrounding Iraqi WMD.
The nature of conspiracy theories like these is they draw false connections between things that are often true, in order to make larger false claims. That means sometimes they raise the profile of true things, but that's just a side effect of their real purpose.
Very cool! I wonder if that played in to the USAF's selection of it for our defensive cyber platform.

I didn't say that was 'the point of lambdas'. But the lambdas implementation, as far as I know, doesn't make new classes. It's not syntactic sugar around anon/inner classes.

The article here is somewhat like the second part of the Miller experiment that you linked. (Don't take the "second part" too literally.)

In the Miller experiment (and the dozens/hundreds variants) the main idea is how to obtain organic molecules mixing some common inorganic molecules and using a energy source like a spark or something. In the Miller experiment you can build some "soup" of the amino acids and other stuff.

The experiment in the article is about how to use the evaporation of the "soup" to make the amino acid to form small chains that are like small proteins. So it's somewhat like the part two of the Miller experiment. In this particular experiment they analyzed which amino acids are more prone to form small chains/proteins.

I don't understand what you mean or are referencing here. Can you clarify? I couldn't figure it out from the context. Thanks.
Big Health | Engineering Manager (San Francisco), Senior Product Engineer (London, UK) | San Francisco, CA or London, UK, depending on role | ONSITE preferred, REMOTE for exceptional candidates | VISA

Are you passionate about mental health? At Big Health, we're building a digital medicine platform that uses clinically proven techniques to help our users deal with the problems of worry and sleeplessness.
Our evidence-based techniques draw on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and are already helping people back to good mental health.

We value tenacity, humility, ingenuity and soul. In my interactions with my colleagues, these shine through on a daily basis.

I'm working on the platform and integrations team as a Backend Engineer, and we're also hiring full stack engineers, front end engineers and mobile engineers. We have two offices (in London and SF), and for the right candidate we'd be open to sponsoring a visa or supporting a remote role.

We have a micro-service architecture deployed on AWS Lambda, and the backend is written in Python 3.6.

If you're interested, you can email our head of recruiting Lauren at lauren.lazo@Big health.com (no space) with a resume.
+1 for Seamless in the city, at least within my family/close friends. Might be because NYC has a strong fast delivery network within most restaurants and doesn't truly need a decentralized delivery network. The big draw to these apps to most of my friends has been the delivery of previously undeliverable food (Chipotle, McDonalds etc).
So you don't thing it was "figurative language"? You view my dystopian description as "close" to your understanding of what is predicted? [edited because I made the mistake of thinking the parent was the author of the comment I originally commented on]

You seem to be working from the assumption that the apocalyptic predictions are a certainty and that humanity will be unable to adapt, that climate change is an existential threat.

I tend to think that a linear (or worse) extrapolation of warming trends is unscientific and unlikely, that the effects of current modest warming will not be apocalyptic (which still leaves plenty of room for various catastrophes), and that human ingenuity will be able to mitigate the worst effects. In short I don't think global warming is an existential threat to humanity or the Earth.

The problem with apocalyptic, existential threat language is that it can be leveraged to advocate for or justify extremely radical private and public actions as well as governmental power grabs. I'm more worried about radical "ends-justifies-the-means" people and the side-effects of giving government more power than I am of the effects of global warming.

Sure, I could be wrong, but over 100 million people have been killed by misguided governments historically and to me that is a much more tangible threat.
The major advantage is performance. With tmux, high volume output from a single pane makes the whole session unresponsive, because it locks up the pty that tmux is running on. Native panes, on the other hand, don't have such a problem because it operates on different ptys.
Oh, to that point I agree. I feel like that's not too far from what they're doing, really.

I agree that, with this design, it won't be as comfortable to use generic containers from a library as to use the built-in containers. That's been a persistent problem with C++ templates and Java generics, too, though (I think reasonable initializers for vector finally landed in C++17?) so maybe the lesson they took was that the base language should have slices and maps because there was no known reasonable design that allowed them to be seamlessly defined in a library while supporting static typing and object nesting? Maybe there is a solution if you design the language around generic containers from the beginning—have you tried D?

People love to rail on HFT, but at this point, its really not that profitable. It's just a reality of trading in the markets. There was a blip of time between 2008 and 2014 when HFT was extremely profitable. Those inefficiencies have been gone from the market for years. People were whooped into anger about how much money was being made, at this point its a complete non issue and needs to be removed from the highlight reels aimed at generating anger in the public. Lets move on from discussing the boogey man that is HFT, its really nothing.
All conspiracy theories connect to reality just enough to provide an on-ramp for new adherents. Your "if" statement above is exactly how it works. No. No one, least of all the FBI, is saying anything of the sort you wrap your if statement around. Please don't step onto the on-ramp of conspiracy theory mania and please don't encourage others who might be less stable than you or have lower cognitive abilities than you to do so either.
I'm not sure why you're getting downvoted. A beloved restaurant near my house is closing down, and the owner is pretty clear about how ugly the economics of delivery are: https://missionlocal.org/2019/05/custards-last-stand-mission...

SKYGRAND guarantee that 100% money back if you are not satisfied with the product.
Super interesting it varies by person. Caviar has had the best delivery experiences consistently and if I've ever had an issue like a squished pizza they immediately dispatched a new one or gave me a refund. Plus they are cheaper than Uber Eats (the consistently worst app for me) and Doordash delivering to Pacific Heights/Cow Hollow in SF.

Of course it isn't good but my point was that hyperbolic language doesn't add information to the conversation and I think it actually causes people to do things that are dangerous. Claiming human civilization is going to be "wiped out" is just another version of crazy over the top language that isn't connected to reasonable predictions about climate change. But radical people will latch on to that language and use it to justify all sorts of craziness.
Nanosecond pricing updates might be a little more than anybody needs. Maybe if the exchange cleared once every second, that would serve anyone's purposes. Remember the market is ultimately about allocating capital between businesses and governments, and for economic purposes it doesn't need to run any faster than they can.

Hi everyone, I'm the lead maintainer and original creator of this project. I'm interested in hearing feedback on my project, which is a microservice oriented alternative to Emby/Jellyfin/Plex/etc that focuses on being scaleable and being cheap to host in the cloud. It solves the ideal use case of being a high load media provider, focusing on runtime costs (encode once, not every time) and being able to handle, of course, high load. Running a media server can be a massive pain, and being able to abstract a lot of that away (autodetecting media names and episode numbers) has saved me a lot of time for my personal collection. Interested to hear anyones thoughts!
Lyft is particularly nefarious in hiding the preference to treat important notifications (your driver is here) differently from the BS coupon crap. In the app sidebar, you have to go to Settings, Privacy (subtitle: choose what data you share with us), Notifications Preferences. There you can disable the promo crap notifications.

But to find this setting basically requires traversing every node in the settings tree, not following common sense. The Privacy subtitle in particular (“choose what data you share with us”) is especially misleading, since it makes it seem that that the Privacy Settings are only about controlling what data you share with Lyft.

It’s underhanded crap like this that shows me Lyft is no better than Uber. They’re both mercenary, deceptive companies willing to do anything for an extra buck.
I think ridiculously favorable is probably an understatement. It was more like he wasn't punished at all and the documents weren't made public at all.

It wasn't until the internet funded Mike Cernovich 10k to sue to make the records public (which the Miami Herold then joined in with) that probably ultimately led to a new case being formed in NYC.

I have no side, I was looking at things objectively and pointing out that corporate media spreads disinformation as well, there are plenty of entities that spread it, including foreign.

Most of these efforts are aimed at taking advantage of lags in information flow, often within the very trading systems on which the trades are occurring. They are exploits, not essential market-making. Noise, not signal. What's the right timeframe? Something based on the time it takes for humans to reason about a price. Not a day, but certainly not milliseconds, either.
A major part of my job is to create reports. These are mind numbingly created in Powerpoint / Word with graphs from Excel. I've been told that automating any of the reports I do is basically impossible. I'm expected to do overtime as needed to get reports done on time. This happens most weeks.

Unfortunately scripting and devops aren't a thing where I am even if they could be applied. I'll need to find another corp. The next position I'm going for in is DevOps. But I haven't got enough of the silly certs / experience yet.

If only I had time off to study and wasn't creating reports all day. Then I'd be able to build my project portfolio and do the exam preparation. I've been here 18 months doing nothing but reports and a little system administration. My plan is to be here for no more than 36 months as this level of manually creating reports is too mind numbing.

Also me:

I generate a very important report for presentation each Monday afternoon and it takes around 4-6 hours of data gsthering and preparation. For the first four weeks I did it manually then realised I could automate some parts and then gradually up to all of it. Now it takes 30 minutes of script runtime with no manual intervention.

There's a patchwork of many other 1-2 hour reports I do across other days. They are now all fully automated by me. They take around 5 minutes of script runtime but no interaction.

I have another big report about to be assigned for Fridays. Its expected to take around 5-7 hours of manual collation. My estimation is that I will be able to run this in around 20 minutes.

In all I generate multiple word documents and powerpoint documents using excel spreadsheets with most of the heavy lifting being done using python, powershell, R and an ecosystem of little elixir critters.

As soon as I reach 24 to 36 months I'll have everything lined up and I'm out of here. I've done enough networking with various people to know that my portfolio of experience is relevant and useful. I've gotten my interview skills up. Plenty of my contacts agree.
More expensive. Do a google image search for "solar trees" and there are plenty of them where space is constrained and aesthetics are a factor.

Personally I think it's unhelpful to group together copyrights, trademarks, and patents into the single term "IP". What prevents counterfeiting is trademark law, which is the most innocuous of the bunch; I haven't seen many cases where something I see as societally beneficial is stopped by trademarks. Copyrights and patents, on the other hand...
That is a much better use of space, although I'm concerned that any shiny object near a roadway needs to be carefully aimed not to blind drivers (there is a certain gold-windowed building on 95/128 that comes to mind...)

Indeed, Bayes Theorem is proven -- how can it be controversial?

Perhaps a good idea with priors is to vary the priors and see how the results vary. This shouldn't be too hard with small-to-moderate sized data sets.

A result that depends heavily on a particular prior may demand additional investigation.

The relevant extensions here (adblockers like uBlock vs. uBlock Origin, the author's extensions like adding a search-by-image button and removing +1s from GitHub) all have the ability to modify the web page that they're running on. If you have that ability, you therefore have the indirect ability to perform network access as that web page. Blocking the extension's own network access won't identify malicious behavior, and blocking indirect network access will get in the way of productive extensions.

Yes, you can imagine a way where extensions provide some declarative input to the browser saying how to block certain elements, and don't have any connection to the web page. That's more or less what iOS ad blockers do, as well as Chrome's new proposed ad blocker approach, and extension authors generally dislike it. And that only helps you remove elements, not add them - things like night mode extensions generally want to add either elements or at least CSS to the browser, and if you have that much access, you can definitely add ads or inject referral links into shopping sites.
