Sure, I don't disagree, but do you have any path toward this 'enlightenment'? I mean, the average college attending student has a literacy level of about 7th grade. How would you propose we move from there to a point where even the average, much less most, voting age adults can not only digest a paper but also be capable of poking holes in its reasoning?

Of course you can, it's what politics and marketing are all about.
Well I do and it crosses my mind often how much I could travel on a $3500/month budget :D

But anywhere you are, foregoing a home base makes travel a lot more affordable.
I generally take "[h]andling your own problems" to mean taking responsibility for your own problems.

I'm seeing a lot of agreement in this thread, though. Healthy, deep relationships with family and close friends are important to keep you grounded, and therapy can help everyone. Many seemingly desirable positions of status that men and women strive for involve incredible amounts of stress, and people naturally have differing levels of stress tolerance, so at some point self-knowledge becomes very valuable. Having good people around you is a great way to build that self-knowledge.

That said I’ve never been a fan of bottle water anyway, I’ve always preferred what my Nan used to call ‘council pop’ (tap water).

Thank you for the extremely thoughtful reply. Of course, I agree completely.

Opportunity can often be so right under your nose that you scoff at people ridiculous enough to go and try to address that need.

I meant my comment more tongue-in-cheek as a bit of catharsis, for how hard we can tend to strive at an obscure problem while not addressing the low hanging fruit.
>outsourcing development jobs

Outsourcing in the sense of sending to offshore body shops. Somewhat true.

But a lot of companies distribute development around the world in various ways. It's not only about taking advantage of lower costs, but some of it is.
IG65M-PyTorch: video models pre-trained on over 65M Instagram videos
Think: resnet+imagenet but for videos: https://github.com/moabitcoin/ig65m-pytorch

We ported the r(2+1)d model (from CVPR 2018, see https://arxiv.org/abs/1711.11248) and the weights pre-trained by Facebook Research on over 65 million Instagram videos (from CVPR 2019, https://arxiv.org/abs/1905.00561) to PyTorch and released architecture, weights, tools for conversion, and feature extraction example.

The official Facebook Research codebase can be found at https://github.com/facebookresearch/vmz These models and pre-trained weights are immensly powerful e.g. for fine-tuning on action recognition tasks or extracting features from 3d data such as videos.

We hope the PyTorch models and weights are useful for folks out there and are easier to use and work with compared to the goal driven, caffe2 based, research'y official code base.

Even well-lit caves (or similar environments) can be disorienting. A few years ago I was walking in a sandy-floored lava tube with a flashlight, and the floor was sufficiently uniform and featureless that I didn't have a clear sense of depth perception.

Another time I was flying a radio-controlled glider at the beach on a foggy day. There was a big rock sticking up in the middle of the beach. I thought the glider was closer than the rock, but then suddenly it vanished from sight because it was actually farther away and went behind it. Another flight I thought I was about 20 feet off the ground and then it suddenly struck the sand and slid to a stop.
It’s also fairly common knowledge that many committed Nazis fled/emigrated from Germany in the immediate aftermath of WW2, and largely settled in South America. I think the majority of those ended up in Argentina or Brazil, but it’s not beyond the realm of possibility to think that someone from Curaçao could have come into contact with the children of those people.

This is getting ridiculous. Back in the day when I bought a PC/Laptop it would come with a lot of bloat. Rarely any of it was by the creator of the OS (Microsoft that is).

Reading the title has affirmed to me that we are living in a bubble (and it doesn't look good). I just can't get it through my head how an investment of that size will EVER pay off. A major reason people buy dogs is because they want to get out and walk more. If they can't they outsource it to a teenager you or your friends know, there's no need for a middleman in most cases. (If it was baby-sitting I could understand more it as there is far less flexibility.)

WeWork's valuations have also seemed strange to me, when they don't have any assets of infrastructure to warrant such a high value. There's very little stopping others renting office space, in fact a friend of mine has done just that.

A fascinating article, but it's a bit frustrating that there are no colour photos. I tried searching the internet and found photos of other blue-skinned people but none of them had this genetic cause (mostly it was silver "supplements").
So here's the issue. There is a segment of the population that is skeptical and a segment of the population that is not. When the skeptical segment expresses distrust of a scientific paper and names specific grievances, oftentimes the unskeptical population will accuse them immediately of being 'anti-science'. This is a major problem, because when -- inevitably -- some problem in a paper is acknowledged by the wider 'science' community, the unskeptical 'pro-science' people who have framed the entire issue as being 'for' or 'against' science automatically make the less educated skeptical people all the more skeptical of science, until they actually become the caricature they were believed to be.

The solution to this of course is for everyone to remain more skeptical when it comes to science, and -- for the times when you do have reason to believe particular studies -- to respond in good faith to other skeptics, rather than to resort to name calling. If you are unable to defend why a certain piece of research should be believed, you should probably either accept that you are not educated enough to be able to comment and thus are also not doing 'science', or that the guy you disagree with may have a good point and the researcher in question bears the burden of proof.

On it's own, I think scientists making bad research and then retracting it would not cause people to distrust science. The 24-hour pop science news cycle combined with the massive rise of scientism as a religion (and the skeptics the equivalent of a medieval atheist) has.

These questions are good and seem standard to me. Whenever interview questions come up on HN there are always many comments refuting them. Any behavioral/culture/softskill questions will be bullshitted by sociopaths and liars. Any technical questions will be biased toward competitive coders and leetcode cramers, and they aren't relevant for position X anyway. IQ tests and brain teasers are less relevant for the job and in some cases potentially illegal. Take home tests take up too might time that you don't get compensated for. Contract to hire takes even more time and doesn't work for candidates that already have full time work. Not everyone has side projects that can be evaluated or contributes to open source, and even if they do it's impossible to tell if the candidate did th actual work. Every way of evaluating programmers sucks unless I'm missing a magic bullet?

My question is at what point does a candidate show such skill at gaming interview system(s) that it doesn't matter if they are bullshitting or had to study for your interview? If they apply the same skills to the job they're likely to be successful in most tech roles, and given corporate or start up structures and politics these candidates might be significantly better than more "genuine" candidates. The only places I think standard tech interview variants might break down is hiring for creativity and for ethical behavior (ethical behavior and rule following being different things). I'm not sure if either of those are important in most tech roles and they might actually be determintal.

I really like the question about specs, and I'll definitely use that in the future when I'm on the interviewer side of the hiring desk. A useful follow up to that would be, "If I gave you a list of features, how would you go about estimating how long it would take to build them all out?" There is no perfect answer to that (as we know from the steady drumbeat of stories decrying the state of software estimation) but hearing how someone would go about solving a problem under conditions of uncertainty would tell give you a lot more useful information, in my opinion, than "What kind of relationship do you want to have with your co-workers?"
I wouldn’t take this as a representative sample of all men.

In my experience, sharing feelings makes me feel worse and substantially reduces my appeal to others. I prefer to just deal with my problems logically and avoid such navel gazing.
When the word "real" is used as it is here, I sense that it often has nothing to do with reality, and more to do with some kind of arbitrary consensus-reality-concept, which may or may not have anything to do with reality. This is useful insofar as it allows me personally to occasionally "fiddle with the knobs" on my own perspective, which is easier to do when I don't actually believe in it.
Which furthers the "fake news" narrative because now even more people can point out the BS on the front page.

Your contention that a liberal arts education doesn't contribute to someone who later in life becomes a lawyer is unfounded. It is similar to say that high school doesn't contribute to higher earnings: of course it does, how would someone otherwise go to college and make those big bucks? If X is a requirement to do Y, then X certainly contributes and must be counted among the factors that lead to high salaries for people who have Y.

Stoicism is not about suppressing feelings though, it is about realizing that the ones you have are inconsequential and should not control you. But while you are trying to rein them in, the solution is not to simply bear them in silence. If you have someone who can help you on the path to equanimity, you should feel free to share feelings with them.

Is this article a carnival sideshow? "<Family/Individual> had <unusual genetic disease you're unlikely to ever encounter> that caused <visible differences from other humans>"

I get it, we like to look at situations where people are different, but does this actually inform, educate, or improve us by reading? Or is this article just a chance to point out some people who are different.

I've been thinking about this recently, and trying to moderate my curiosity (because blue skin certainly piques my curiosity) against what I'm trying to get out of the article and what the people in the article get out of the article. Is the Fugate's family improved by this? What about other people with methemoglobinemia? Are their lives improved?

Another way to think of it is, who benefits from this? Who is being put on display?

Edit:
I ask because I think these are important questions to ask, and because I genuinely have a difficult time telling sometimes. It's useful to see responses of how others interpret this.
> I'm usually launching a barrage of follow-up questions that zoom in and out all the time

I would probably fold under this style of questioning even when describing a completely true and even interesting project that stands apart from the random grunt work I usually do. When interviewing other people myself, my style is borderline diffident while asking the candidate, to reduce the chance of nervousness/anxiety influencing their answers.

That being said, I love Justwatch, so clearly your techniques are throwing up some good candidates. All the best! :)
> Where's the movement for this? Why aren't we all writing our representatives about this?

There's no movement for this because the indignity of being ripped off a few dozen dollars once a year is not a strong enough incentive for people to organize.

Ripping millions of people off by a few dozen dollars, once per year, however, is a strong incentive for car rental places to lobby politicians to protect their business model.
Yes. I'd be happy to change the title to make it less baity, but couldn't think of a dignified way to do so.

> Add to that the fact that many banks purposely reorder transactions to force you to take as many overdraft fees as possible, banking for those living paycheck to paycheck is not cheap

This is really scummy but many banks allow you to, for debit cards, deny the transaction instead of overdrafting. That won't help with bounced checks or electronic transfers but it can make a big difference.

I think Softbank's main problem is that they fund opportunity without considering execution at all. It's very possible that a dog walking service could be a multibillion opportunity (millennials/gen Z choosing to have pets over kids in greater numbers and working FT), but was there really anything special about this specific team that would lead anyone to believe they could execute with a $300m injection? I don't think so.
The dimension that interests me, is the way, we, human, ascribe words to emotions. I may feel sad minutes before I associate this feeling with the word “sadness.” Upon identification, the word “sadness” may bring other connotations, which enhances or detracts from my initial raw emotion. Which is the cause and which is the effect—do I feel more sad because I recognize the word “sadness?” I can identify sadness in other beings (ie. dogs). Do I, as a human, really need the word “sadness” to help me understand my emotion? What do I call the state of raw emotion prior to the word association?

If the banks really wanted to lobby the government and change whatever laws or regulations keep them from offering instant, free transfers.... they'd have done so already.
