The interop is a great stopgap (like Julia with Python and R), but they don't replace a native ecosystem. A Lisp flavored Julia would have native access to the libraries, it could define new types, new function implementations, new algorithms all natively and with no performance cost, which would be hard to do for a C/C++/Fortran library wrapped in Python wrapped in CL.

Also, Julia doesn't have a numpy clone, the native n-dimensional arrays are fast enough that it's not necessary. That makes so everything supports it, the very opposite of a lisp curse scenario in which everyone could have ended up making their own incompatible version (though thankfully DataFrames which are not part of the language all comply with a single Tables interface, so you can switch them).
Intel follows IBM and Microsoft as the latest selection that one probably can't get fired for picking. But your point is valid. Despite the Ryzen 5 3600X sitting under my desk for this weekend's new build, for $NEW_JOB I picked out a Xeon laptop because it's a safer choice for a new job and Dell will be there next year if it needs fixing.
Yes, if you don't have money to invest, you cannot invest. What's your point?
You're not the only person -- I have a friend who did this, also generally inserting silly words in the side he guessed was scanned from a book.

I have a hunch that von Ahn knew this would happen and the same scan is shown to multiple users before a word is chosen.

Yeah a stock buyback is just a fancy dividend, automatically reinvested.

We do have passenger rail, it's not fast but you can travel the whole country. We also do have intra-city surface and underground lines.

The issue of why we don't have more and faster rail is a multifactorial problem of city size, zoning, spread, and alternate transportation. The US only has 3 major population centers, and they're very wide. The rest of the population lives in thousands of small and midsize cities spread far apart.

This is the worst combination for expensive railways and stations, and requires solid last-mile coverage. This means cars, and if you have cars then they already provide similar speeds, better coverage, more freedom, and lower costs. The only feasible plan is high-speed long-haul that doesn't stop anywhere in the middle, but demand for that is weak because people do live in the middle, and air-travel is faster and cheaper at those distances.

Lower population with a few big cities like Australia is a much better fit. If the US just had 3-5 major cities all along a single coastline then we would also have a similar railway network.
If you want zero risk you will not get much or any return. Your only options are high yield savings, CDs, and extremely short term treasuries/bonds (e.g., EE or I bonds).
One man's terrorist rhetoric is another's glorious revolutionary thought. If you don't think that the precedents being set today won't affect leftist spaces which seek to alter America's failed state version of capitalism you are truly naive. Was the Patriot act and subsequent rights degrading laws about combating Islamic terrorism? Or was it about legalizing oppressive control and mass surveillance?

I supposed I should have mentioned how Canada defines illegal hate speech, because that has a clear definition too. The type of hate speech that is illegal there is hate speech that advocates or incites violence or genocide. That's clear and defines how it is damaging, therefore it's not definitively slippery.
Also, the review wasn’t anonymous.
If you collect email addresses, then yeah that's a concern. Then again, if you send a single activation email and never send another email unless the link is clicked, there's no value to the bot in signing up accounts, so it's unlikely to be a major problem.
I live in a country that's one of the highest taxed in the world, the Netherlands, paying up to 51.75% tax on my earnings. And I actually think it's fair and would not lobby for lower tax rates.

It's probably because of how taxes and the government works is different in many ways to the US:

1. You feel it on your own wallet how your tax is spent and redistributed. Even though I pay a large amount in tax, being a high earner, I also get support from the government, paid monthly, for childcare and mortgage interests. Also, the government supports programs like no-downpayment mortgages, that are unheard of in many countries.

2. Public services are visible and efficient. This is true from healthcare to garbage collection and schools. Schools are actually a good example: while daycare in amsterdam would cost around $2,000/month for a child, schools are "free". Of course, once you paid for daycare, you know that it's not free, but paid for from tax, and have a good idea how much goes back into it.

3. Tax returns are ridiculously simple. They can also be done up to five years in the past, in case you forgot to claim refunds.

4. Thanks to how taxes are spent, there is less inequality across society. The government invests in social housing nationwide and has strong social net support, redistributing wealth via taxes from high earners to the low earners. For example, the $2,000/month childcare costs: for low earners the government pays up to 97% of this, dropping to 33% for people well off. Contrast this with places that don't have any of this and the inequality can be seen in all parts of life.
This reminds me of a 'myth' I have heard about ICEs ( internal combustion engines ) : the minutes before they blow, they run really really nice.

It's far cheaper than the US. I get 6MB/s downloads for 15€/month. For mobile, there's a chart making the rounds on Twitter, and it seems to me Germany is very much in line with other countries. Of course it's more expensive than it is in poorer countries in eastern Europe, as everything is.
Depends on the tech. Aerospace has gotten significantly cheaper due to accurate simulation tools. You can design a supersonic airplane or rocket engine in software and expect the first prototype to at least sort-of work.

The improvement of tools and slowing of silicon process improvement means that a startup can fab a competitive special-purpose CPU. Hennessy and Patterson's Turing lecture has an overview [https://iscaconf.org/isca2018/turing_lecture.html]

Robotics has gotten easier and cheaper thanks to good off-the-shelf sensors and actuators.
It seems that the Ohio gunman claimed to be rather left leaning and wanted sen. Warren to be next president. Probably he hasn't read 8chan but still started shooting. He also claimed to be pro-Satan leftist, whatever it can possibly mean. So, I would say, that both he and large majority of public place murderers, serial killers, etc. are simply very sick people and presence of lack of presence of some random internet site does not make much difference.
this is pretty cool.

did you use any git library, like libgit2?
Amazon pays very well actually, so I'm not so sure. What amount were you asking?
What are you using hyperbole to communicate? Can you be more explicit?
> I don’t think I’ve ever heard a 2A advocate suggest that

Oh, well, I have, and that's the kind of 2A advocate I'm talking about.

I'm sure there are other sorts, but that's the kind I meant.
Good grief! I'm using a small ISP that gets me ~250Mbps, but it would be more like 500Mpbs if I didn't buy a cheap router. In fact, they told me they'll be offering gigabit plans next year.

And I thought I was getting screwed when I could only get 120Mbps with Spectrum Cable.
In post WW2 history we only had two mass shootings and the Moluccan train hijacking in 1975 and 1977.

Don’t forget everything that isn’t covered by the media. In 2018 we had 527 registered shooting incidents. In the last 18 months we had 44 gun related deaths. In 2018 the police seized 76 automatic weapons such as the AR-15.

For a country with strict gun control that’s a lot.
> Non-Competition. During employment and for 18 months after the Separation Date, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, whether on Employee’s own behalf or on behalf of any other entity (for example, as an employee, agent, partner, or consultant), engage in or support the development, manufacture, marketing, or sale of any product or service that competes or is intended to compete with any product or service sold, offered, or otherwise provided by Amazon (or intended to be sold, offered, or otherwise provided by Amazon in the future) that Employee worked on or supported, or about which Employee obtained or received Confidential Information.

Parse that clause: if a product is sold on Amazon.com and they've obtained Confidential Information (read: read a slide deck, attended a meeting, received emails with fine print at the bottom), they can't work for the company that sells that product or its competitors. Which is, well, I struggle to imagine what that leaves out.

I couldn't work for AWS, quit my career as a software engineer, and become a librarian without being hit by this clause.
Part of the problem is ease of access. Making it harder to get to is good.
If we're going to have internet censorship, I don't want it to be a backroom thing. It needs to be transparent, auditable, appealable, with bright line rules and due process guarantees.

It's unfortunate if we need to live with some level of censorship. But I don't accept it being carried out in back rooms by unaccountable companies operating hand-in-hand with illegal DDoS attacks. Put it out there in the open, and let's have a legal democratic process around it that tries to guarantee some amount of fairness and attempts to give the weak protection from the strong.
If your income is lower than spendings then you can't invest as successfully as someone who has the opposite situation. More income = more money, what's weird about that?

A $1000 will not get you anywhere. You can maybe turn it into $2000 after inflation within 5-10 years, on average.
Paying off a 0.9% debt when 2.5+% savings/CDs are available risk-free is silly.
So you’re saying cash flow investors are immortal?

I'm not really that well informed of 8chan, but bringing it down, while practical, doesn't seem like the ideal solution. Isn't it just like covering your eyes and pretending the problem isn't there? The problem doesn't sound like it's 8chan, but rather these people and their ideologies. If 8chan was brought down, they'll just find another hub to congregate, but now we don't know where to reach them to talk.

I thought the idea expressed by NearlyFreeSpeech.net in the following link was nice:

> We wouldn't tolerate the existence of an Islamist site

Why? Think about what you're saying. Imagine equivalents:

1. We wouldn't allow cell phones that let terrorists communicate

2. We wouldn't allow roads that allow anyone to carry whatever contra-ban they want down them.

3. We wouldn't allow trains that allow just anyone to carry books on whatever topic they want.

4. We can't allow for air that allows two willing participants to communicate using sound waves.

The hubris to imagine that we dare have a say in whether a group of adults date to communicate with each other.

Are you of the belief that hatred and radicalization doesn’t exist in environments that lack free speech?

Lot’s of places on this planet have hyper radicalized portions of their populations that commit aggregious acts of violence, and they lack free speech.

Yet free speech is being used as the red herring to blame.

Unequivocally, your assessment of these forums causing the radicalization is wrong. Plain wrong. These people exist in any environment, they go into the shadows, they continue to lash out, and removing and restricting rights for every person DOES NOT STOP THIS BEHAVIOR.
Recessions are opportunities to buy... if you have cash. If you were long in the market at the peak, then you don't have any cash. If it's something you were going to "buy anyway", then you'd have already bought it... unless you were holding cash and trying to time the market. You can sell something, and buy at a discount, but only by selling something at the same discount.

I believe that's what the parent meant. At any given moment your money is somewhere: stocks, cash, bonds. You transfer from one to the other when you feel the time is right for it. In that sense every move is market timing.

That does imply that most people shouldn't move their money very often. Do some research, buy and hold, and don't worry overmuch about whether you bought near the top or the bottom. Put new money (e.g. salary) into something with low overhead, like an index fund, unless you've got good reason to think you can do better with a specific choice of stock.

If you find a bargain, buy it. But buying bargains is a matter of timing: it's only a bargain if it goes up eventually.
This is a ridiculous witchhunt, 8chan is a platform for many different boards with different opinions, the media framing it as a right-wing white supremacist forum makes wonder if its ignorance or malice, /leftypol/ is probably as big as the /pol/ boogeyman, and thats just politics which is just a part of the rest of the boards.

No one is asking to close Facebook because Tarrant uploaded his shooting video there, why it would be any different in this case?

On a related note: "The AI effect"

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

Loosely paraphrased, as soon as something is working using AI techniques, it's no longer considered AI anymore. Taken to it's logical conclusion, we will never have AI, since any AI - no matter how intelligence - is simply redefined as "not AI".

This is very annoying to people working on AI, by the way. :-)

I simplified the ask to be honest. It was not a simple `select date, country, sum(gdp) from table group by 1,2`. There were additional components to the question.

And as you mentioned, you can also distinct on the window function. This is not an inefficient operation in Redshift.

Also I fundamentally disagree with your premise. One result set is equivalent to another, and as long as you aren't using unnecessary nested loop joins or such, there are a dozen ways to solve a query.

In another interview at a similarly-competitive company to AWS , I was asked to do some work on orders and orderdetail tables to find all customers where the aggregate total of their orders from 2005 were greater than that of their orders from 2007. I did it using a couple of `sum(case when extract(year from datecol) = 200x then order_amount end)` statements.

The interviewer told me the question was intended to test whether the applicant was able to do a self-join but they were impressed with my alternative solution. That is the proper way to test SQL, not to say someone "did the query the wrong way"
It's a national park - this is an intentional policy. There is some cell service, but the park specifically does not want cell towers everywhere.

> In 2009, Yellowstone completed a plan for wireless communications in the park. The plan dictates that cell phone and wifi will only be allowed for visitor safety and to enhance park operations. It restricts towers, antennas, and wireless services to a few limited locations in the park, in order to protect park resources and limit the impact on park visitors.

In the United States, post 9/11 mass surveillance came almost entirely from the private sector and had zero to do with the Patriot Act.
What people (seemingly) fail to realise is that neither Cloudflare is the Internet nor Voxility is a public infrastructure. They are private enterprises which are free to act in however they want with regards to the service they provide as laid out in their contract.

That is the danger of centralisation; when they remove their service, it feels as if your rights has been violated because (a) you have been so used to them (b) you cannot exist without them practically.

Now imagine it resurrecting on IPFS/Dat/..., where every visitor could "pin" the website.
Stalled growth and slumping morale at Eventbrite
My point is more that the zeitgeist is inherently political.

Ergo, merely by selling to the market and interacting with it, companies make political choices.

These choices may be more or less obvious, but they're always there. The apolitical company is a myth.

Note: I am using political in the greater, rather than "red vs blue" sense.
I don't understand this German cliché, it's not insanely great but the amount of delays is the same as in France with better internet, cleaner toilets, and a descent price. Internet in Germany is a combination of shitty contracts, slow speeds, and deceptive ads. That is much worse than a descent service with clear pricings like Deutsche Bahn.
This entire question is predicated on the firm belief that hens are about to drop in price.

This would be the best time to unload them, if you don't have a long hold philosophy.
For a moment, let's talk in general terms, not about how Python chose to do it.

Most languages have scopes. Things may exist in your scope, so you can access them. Or they may exist but in some other scope not visible to you where you currently are. Symbol tables track what is in a scope.

A variable is a name associated with a storage location. The location could be a stack, heap, register, or something way more abstract as long as it behaves as a "place" you can store a value into and read from.

When a variable is created, a name is defined and some storage is arranged for. But that name is also added to a scope. (If it weren't, it would have a name, but nobody could see it.)

There's no reason, once the variable has been added to one scope, that it can't be added to another scope. That is what "import" statements do in a lot of languages.

Python has apparently chosen a very different approach for imports, which is to create a new variable. This isn't necessarily wrong or right, it's just not something I had ever seen a language do before.
This might be an unpopular opinion for those who view more rules as the answer.

Banning (or discontinuing or deplatforming or whatever you want to call it) may do little but harden the resolve of key ideologues of whatever stripe. For them, it leads credence to the idea that there is conspiracy against the group afoot. Besides, when has banning actually been effective? Sure, it may reduce manifestation and reduce recruitment, but drugs and spam pretty much show wack-a-mole is not really an effective policy. That's to say nothing of the moral hazards of thought police determining who can say what.

However it is obvious that leaving these kind of groups to echo chamber louder and more extreme, egging each other on also leads to bad outcomes.

Perhaps a solution may be proactive counter speech. Some sort of volunteer regiment or something that finds where these sorts congregate and offers counterpoints to violent idiocy. Obviously flat out threats or calls to action are crimes in and of themselves and should be treated as such.

This would be a pretty thankless task because who wants to deal with this type of idiocy and darkness all day? But I think it could be more effective if properly done than banning as far as changing minds and hearts, especially before people get sucked too far down echo chambers and start seeing the world in a way it really isn't. Other people, smart people, articulate people, right there calling out wrongness, calling out stupidity, calling out misunderstanding, giving counterpoints, arguing for right action, this might be a more effective way to damp down the extremism.
I can assure you that their slow-poke internet is a reason of a feeling of entitled superiority over their neighbours, especially eastern ones.
It is always something else.

If it wasn't 8chan it would be 4chan.

If they’re shooting people in Walmart, the leftist spaces should be disrupted.
A lot of people say "censorship radicalizes" but I've never seen any studies or evidence for this claim. Your comment is purely speculative. There is some evidence that banning extremist content reduces its potential to radicalize [1]. Do you have any evidence to suggest it increases radicalization?

We aim to provide leverage to employees so they can make better decisions. We are starting with closing the information gap but, as you point out, there are tons of (very nuanced) problems that need solving.

I'm afraid to ask... Your upload speed is 3Mbps or something? :D

Uploading anything took freaking ages on DSL, I even used mobile data to do it, it's an important part of life today.
That is exactly the thing that baffles me most. Procedural languages that are inherently distanced from math are used for math for whatever reason. That's basically what I've said in earlier comment.
If everyday human life must echo the eons-long process of evolution, can we say the same for other natural laws? Gravity is a natural law; so people inevitably bow to their superiors? People bowing to each other is gravity shining through! But capillary action is another natural law, so it means people inevitably rise up to best their superiors...

When my cat cuddles up to me on the bed, this natural 'life is a fight' law falls to pieces. Beings are capable of generosity without a gaining idea, and most of us have encountered this as part of our lives. I have found that lovingkindness and compassion are boundless in every sentient being's heart.

I think self-identified 'liberals' generally don't have any concrete principles about power itself. As long as it is illegal to not treat all people equally, liberals seem to think government power should increase to the extent that it can relieve suffering and foster generosity. Parts of the left, with its civil libertarians and Proudhon anarchists, think about power in a deeper and more heterodox way...
