I was under the impression that using Spotify's APIs in a commercial project required an agreement with them, presumably that costs money. Have you investigated that or will you have to drop the Spotify aspect if/when you start taking money?

This doesn’t follow. I think Alberta mostly used its oil revenues to fund current operating expenses, spreading the wealth around in a short term way to the populace at large.

The low end of the market isn't a very appealing place to be. I think they don't mind if Android takes that market.
Yes I would mind, but only because I stopped maintaining a list when I stopped working for a browser vendor (Mozilla) and an organization that has an intercepting proxy as a part of it's core product(OpenDNS).

It's not a hard experiment to run, and "mainstream" has different meanings in different locations. Get a femto cell or other remote access point set up an open wireless network in a high traffic area, especially in a place where there is a transit hub, and hang out for several hours.

You could also grab the Alexa top 1 million or Cisco Umbrella top 1 million, and scan them for http endpoints, and work backward from there for sites that don't bounce you to a TLS endpoint.
Calculus Series: Theory of Chain Rule Explained
Symptoms of being a high-functioning autistic—as perceived by others—include an inability to empathize with peers or with hypotheticals of “natural” human responses. But one obvious confounder for this symptom is that you’re comparing with the wrong peers. Being a woman but not liking the things women like or having the same emotional responses that women tend to have (because, instead, you like the things men like and have the same emotional responses that men have), could get you (incorrectly) labelled as autistic, when all you’re actually experiencing is gender dysphasia.
Awesome. This is the perfect job for the right person!
I’m imagining this debate playing out in my head.

I’m not sure if gerrymandering is all that bad. Wait, what’s this, a font made out of gerrymandered districts? It must be really bad, we should do something about it. Except the T doesn’t look that great, and it’s from California anyway. Maybe this isn’t such a big deal after all. And the Q! The Q is barely even gerrymandered. Fuck it, I’m gonna go play some video games.
Even more chilling considering that thanks to the state of the law today we are all guilty of some "lesser offense" right now.

It would be interesting to calculate the "default jail sentence" of the average citizen if an overzealous prosecutor decided to randomly harass them.
This is actually quite important. After supporting my family and relatives with Linux and Windows for 15 years, I decided that I’ll only support them if they buy Macs. My time has become more precious to myself than it was without family and work. Some bought Macs and basically I may need to install some updates when visiting and point them to some software, nothing annoying or time consuming and no late-night helpdesk support calls.

Of course some relatives like my mom were cheapskates and did not buy Macs but then their problems are now somebody else’ problems. My personal life quality improved a lot after drawing the clear line.

And no, Macs are not completely problem-free but anecdatally a lot easier :)

Rate of growth is a garbage indicator for anyone who isn't VC funded. Particularily if you're a (still predominantly) hardware outfit with Thea history of designing, producing, shipping and selling some of the most profitable mass market products in history.

If I decided to setup a lemonade stand in my front yard and sell one glass today (it's already late in the day here) and 100 glasses tomorrow then the growth argument makes me the most important (future) retailer in the world.

Diversification is good for Apple, it's good for the ecosystem and as mentioned elsewhere probably makes it easier for them to produced devices that are less disposable. That's a great story and, given the dollars at stake, an important one. Why bother with the click-bait title that seriously erodes credibility?

Whenever Starbucks try to break into a new city, they'll lower their prices, allowing their stores to take a loss for the first few years, just to starve out the competition. Smaller shops don't have the economical buffer to fight this, and Starbucks eventually take their customer bases and becomes the dominating shops.

Norway already has state grants for innovative startups, which when boosted by oil money, could generate a similar environment for entrepreneurs and innovative business, allowing people and companies to take larger risks. If this is executed correctly, it would make Norway the spearhead of whatever the next oil is, since companies from other countries will get pushback from their investors when taking the same risks or going for years without generating revenue.

When the oil runs out in 20 to 50 years, the future of the norwegian ecomony depends on finding new industries. Any spending of oil money that doesn't go towards securing this is irresponsible, IMO.
I've applied for a commercial Spotify API key. They let you start using it right away. I haven't heard back from them (it's been a couple weeks). It's possible they'll decide not to approve my use case, in which case I'd have to drop spotify support.

I think they mainly want to prevent people from competing with them; I'm not sure if they care too much about charging you money for it (I guess they probably would if you were making a lot of money).

Also, thanks for your work on Mopidy!

Spinning Levers - How A Transmission Works (1936)

There's a podcast, by the name: 'Serial', in season two they go into regular courtrooms with non-fancy cases - fights, etc.

In one episode after the defendant has been found not guilty, the judge presiding over the case berated them for not accepting a plea deal, and wasting the court time. This is after the person has been found not guilty.

I deployed Atlast into a consumer media device in the mid-90's.

Essentially I used it as a scripting language for writing user facing setup GUI dialogs.

The justification was that the GUI screens were art-directed by an offsite team and changed at a rate faster than the team could react to.

Some fundamental GUI words in Forth made things compose-able and quick (at least for me).

I thought was great, as I'm a Forth fan(atic), but "normal" SW folks didn't take too kindly to it.

Since I wrote a crap-ton of Postscript code in a previous job, it worked well with the thought process developed there.

In retrospect, if I'd known about TclTk, I might have gone down that path though.
Can you explain the monopoly part?
Which is so hilariously misguided it might be taken as a form of racism. By lumping minorities into a single candidate they create a token representative who has a very safe seat but no power in the state senate and allow all other candidates to effectively ignore that minority entirely. They don't have to worry about angering 5% of their electorate and losing the next election by a 2% margin.

> Bayes' rule is a great tool in many circumstances! But it has a great weakness: it requires a prior. That doesn't make it useless; few tools are useful in all circumstances. But requiring "everyone to use Bayes' rule, even though we have no reasonable way to find a good estimate of the priors," is unlikely to ever happen (and rightly so). The article rightly points out a serious problem with the typical application of statistics, but there needs to be a better justification for priors than is suggested in this article.

If you don't have good information on what your prior should be, you can just use a really weak prior. And you probably know more about your data than you think you do -- if you are doing counts, that leads you to a different prior than if you are doing things that can be in increments smaller than a single integer.
> Yes, I do. Especially when you start considering multiline examples with flow control.

Could you show an example?

What minimalism are you talking about? It uses nearly the same notations as mathematicians used for decades. Most of the constructs are very like to those in Python.
Having recently observed AKI requiring hospitalization - I think spotting this is only small and IMO not very useful. In fact even spotting a cause of AKI (eg heart failure) is also not particularly eye opening.

A better system (perhaps not even using much AI, whatever that is, and just use basic rules and ML techniques) would be helping physicians monitor and come up with treatment suggestions and outcome prwdictions for a specific patient based on their particular vitals/history. E.g provide a suggestion to physician that heart failure causing aki could be treated by crtp pacemaker bc cf rate is within a range for this particular patient - so they should talk to cardiologist/surgeon immediately.
Does it matter if things are true or made up? Yes.

>I feel like a superior person by using their products

That's quite a shallow self-image
> the problem is that random guessing (of priors) is not a reasonable replacement for science.

I disagree!

> After all, Bayes' rule will give nonsense answers if you give it a nonsense prior!

You are absolutely correct here, but draw the wrong conclusion. Bayes rule isn't just some convenience that you ought to ignore without a solid prior. Fundamentally, what can any study say about a subject whose prior likely ranges over a few orders of magnitude among the experts? That subject represents a gaping hole in our knowledge. If a single study were to narrow the band by a whole decade, it would still leave a decade sized hole... All of this should be explicit and out in the open.

> I could imagine systemic worldwide ways to deal with this. For example, perhaps the scientific community could allow people to propose initial priors, and then allow multiple different papers to improve the estimation of the probability over time.

Yeah, this is the way to go. Researchers should preregister their studies with their priors. Future studies will revise them. After all, its easy to argue about numbers and those who disagree can easily supply their own.
When you work with the assumption that police usually only arrest a person when they have strong evidence that person actually committed the crime, it's not that surprising.

Whether that is a good working assumption to begin with is another debate.
What you're saying is true but is irrelevant to my point. With the original post the claim was that 1/20 in Boston make more than 374k because the top 5% of people between 35 and 64 make more than 374k.

Again this is not true and is not how percentiles work. What's so difficult to understand?

If you have 98 people in Boston who are 18 who make $1 and 1 who is 40 who makes $374K and another who is 36 who makes $10K what does this mean? It means 50% of people in Boston between 35 and 64 make more than 10K, but not that half of the people in Boston in general make that much, as the original post suggested. The original poster was claiming he or she was not doing well because of the data NYT presented, but percentiles cannot be extrapolated from one group to another. As you've said it's only useful for a specific cohort in which it's measured. In my hypothetical example the person making 10k would be in the top 2% despite being in the lower 50% for income in their cohort.
Neighborhoods That Change in Non-Linear Ways
That's a secondary issue (the writer (CEO?) tried to give an example of a insurance policy that covers a very remote event). So fine, doubly nonsensical.

I would have also done a separate article separating paying premiums to the carrier from the carrier paying out claims. Those are basically two totally different parts of the insurance company, with different systems (usually) and definitely from different bank accounts.

Senior Java Developer | InnoGames https://www.innogames.com | Hamburg, Germany | Full Time | Onsite

InnoGames, based in Hamburg, is one of the leading developers and publishers of online games with more than 200 million registered players around the world. Currently, more than 400 people from 30 nations are working in the Hamburg-based headquarters.

Your mission:

- Develop features shared across our game backends
- Improve performance-critical components, increase the robustness and scalability of our software
- Improve our libraries and backend services with your knowledge of software architecture and high-quality code
- Maintain and extend our development tools and environment

Your Profile:

- Several years of experience in object-oriented programming in Java with Spring Boot and the Akka framework
- Software development with Spring, the UNIX command line and profound knowledge of SQL, GIT, and Continuous Delivery
- Solid experience in using various methods in software design and strong belief in automated testing to guarantee and improve code quality in compliance with the company standards
- Being a backend geek, you also sometimes like to switch to the frontend side with Angular, C# and Unity
- Good English language and overall communication skills
- Proactive and motivated individual with a willingness to learn

Personal note:

I as a software developer myself was initially rather critical about taking a position at a gaming company due to stories of crunch time and low pay, but my experience has been very positive in both regards at InnoGames: Crunch time does not really apply to a mobile gaming company (very few hard deadlines), and especially not to our team, as it is not a game team; and I was offered a better compensation package than what I had initially asked for. The workflow and processes in the team are driven by ourselves, and the two worlds of the job between creating and maintaining software on one side and providing support to game teams on the other are challenging in a very positive way and provide a lot of variety.

We have several open tech positions but this one is directly in my team so feel free to shoot me any questions about the position at dennis dot neufeld at innogames dot com

It’s Not a Feature Problem–Avoiding Startup Death Traps
Also--for the profit optimizing thing, that's why a significant part of my plan is to structure the business in a way that lets me optimize the algorithm for user satisfaction. e.g. I'm thinking about helping artists to sell concert tickets and taking a cut of that.
One of the arguments in favor of the electoral college is that it boosts the voice of people who are in areas with lower population density. This is to ensure that minority interests are respected and taken into account by presidential hopefuls.

Without this protection the voices of people who live outside the 5 major metropolitan areas simply wouldn't matter and candidates would have no reason to listen to their issues and have no repercussions for hurting them to favor city-dwellers.

This would be bad. Very bad. A straight population vote ends up being a scheduling algorithm for issues where rural interests have unbounded wait time.

One could say that the solution of weighting rural votes higher is a clunky system but any replacement voting system needs to take this into account as those small towns are where almost all of our primary industry is.
