>The issue is that as a society we've (mostly) decided that unfairly classifying someone based on correlated but non-causal characteristics is wrong, EVEN in the extreme that you're right more often than you're wrong if you make that assumption.

This is likely due to an acknowledgment of the limits of human models to account for the full context surrounding correlated-but-non-causal classifications, such that conclusions drawn from them can have unforeseen or highly detrimental ramifications.

Speaking to race in America specifically, the schema through which we judge people are highly susceptible to bias from the white supremacist bent of historical education and general discourse. This is how you end up with cycles like those within the justice system (pushed in part by sentencing software), wherein black defendents are assumed to have a higher likelihood of re-offending, therefore increasing the likelihood of any given black defendent not receiving bond or having a lengthy sentence if convicted. After all, blackness correlates with recidivism. Lying outside this correlative relationship is the likely causal relationships of longer stays in jail and lack of access to employment opportunities, which disproportionately affect black people, causing higher rates of recidivism, regardless of race.
As long as you’re polite you can advocate for all the ethnic cleansing you want. But if you get upset about all that ethnic cleansing, well someone has some shadow ban and words for you.
This somewhat painfully breaks when reattaching as the socket from the shells environment could be defunct. Whereas the shell session outside has a different, totally fine agent in its environment.
This was somewhat painful to explain to some engineers and I suck at explaining so I’ll gladly receive a good explanation for it (or a nice workaround?) :D
One tip I didn't see mentioned (though it's pretty common in tmux) is to use the default window layouts for organizing multiple panes. You do this with Ctrl + b followed by esc + <num>.

esc + 1: All windows take up equal space horizontally, and stretch the full vertical width

esc + 2: All windows take up equal space vertically, and stretch the full vertical width

esc + 3: The first window takes up half of the screen vertically, and all remaining windows divide up the space equally

esc + 4: The first window takes up half of the screen horizontally, and all remaining windows divide up the space equally

esc + 5: Windows are divided into two equal columns horizontally, and split remaining space vertically.

Even if I have to alter the sizes a bit usually, the pre-defined layouts are super useful for positioning different windows.
It seems improbable, though, that Waze is assuming you're doing 65 mph on residential streets (which, presumably, are around 25mph legal limit) to save time.

It's faster to take residential streets if the freeways are completely backed up to the point they're moving slower.
I'm sure they're still botching quotients with cube roots because 'kids only need the principal one'
Courtesy makes all the difference, but it's not easy sometimes. Too many drivers are happy to take advantage of 2-second gaps, or use an early indication of lane change as a sign to beat you to a gap.

I always wonder how people like that act outside vehicles. It's really no different to jumping a queue, but I bet of you did that to them outside a metal box they would call you out.
A proctor is someone who administers exams. Allowing people to keep notes lets them cheat, basically.
Eh most people don't have a Goodreads.

Like, a "Goodreads" official list of Elon musk / Steve jobs / Obama recommended books so I don't have to sort through the chaff.

Or a "Goodreads presents: John Carmaks favorite computer programming books."

Basically an employee or moderator builds the list, or they explicitly work with someone like John Carmack to make a "Goodreads official" list
When you say chip architecture, I assume you mean how to assemble together qubits like an integrated circuit. Here's one proposal for silicon based qubits: https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-017-01905-6

Microwave signals are typically used for control rather than readout. I don't know if this experiment does it or not, and I am not an experimentalist. Multiplexing is more typically required for reducing timing errors of simultaneously driven signals (for better synchronization) and it really depends on the device and the mode of operation, plus whether the experiment they're doing needs it or not. The same experimental group sometimes do it one experiment and not do it in another, despite using the same device.
A nice quote from the article - "The mayor spoke proudly of this shining example of the city’s “data initiative,” and how the Waze partnership would “get people where they want to go, faster.”" followed by a dissatisfaction that it did not result in people getting sent to the roadways that the traffic planners wanted to.

Guess what, people would absolutely get sent to the major roadways if (and only if!) those roadways would actually get people where they want to go, faster. If those roadways suck compared to the alternatives, then that points towards a duty of the major to improve those major roadways (which are obviously overwhelmed even after Waze helps by redirecting some traffic off of them), not a duty to drivers to simply suffer every day while sitting in a traffic jam on the "gov't recommended" route or the likes of Waze to keep mum about better alternatives.

The article mentions the 'LA Complete Streets Official Guide' listing which streets the planners designated as arterial vs non-arterial - guess what, if there's a mismatch between the plan and how people can reach their destinations most efficiently, then it is the plan that's wrong and needs to change, not the drivers. If you plan and build a wider, "faster" arterial route that's actually a huge diversion and drivers take shortcuts instead of following your route, well, too bad you wasted a bunch of money building a road noone needs based on a bad plan, it's not the fault of drivers that this road doesn't suit their needs.

The city was free to use its partnership with Waze to determine where to build(improve/widen/regulate) roads and intersections that would be a better fit for how people want to travel. However, instead of listening to the people through that data, they wanted to use it to tell people how to get where they want to be in a way that suits interests of city planners instead of the driver - and that's not how it works.
This guy is a professor? Kind of ironic right off the bat he dismisses his wife's opinion and then claims journalism that refrains from labels is toxic.
That just can’t be true, a lot , I’ll go as far as say absolute majority of paid and hobby OSS developers have no interaction with RMS

Even projects under the gnu.org umbrella probably don’t interact that much with RMS, let alone have discouraging interaction.

Or maybe people would just be more cautious about saying horrible things on the record.
Not a vaper or smoker, and I think both are terrible habits. Is there any reason to believe vaping is more dangerous than smoking? Even if it's only equally dangerous, it should still be allowed to remain legal, right? Albeit with all the same marketing and packaging restrictions that cigarettes have.
I too have much compassion for animals, but idea of a human being preparing for taking his or her own life in turning over a pet is, in my heartfelt opinion, a much more poignant occasion.
The root commenter didn't claim anything that your earlier comment contradicted. They just explained that they found a correlation between diet and pain (along with other physiological symptoms). Nobody said anything that excluded the notion that the pain was a symptom of an illness. Indeed, when is pain ever not a symptom of illness or injury?
One day people will rediscover installing a Linux box with an Apache server and call it novelty.
Some people are sympathetic for reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with some cult of celebrity, like being generally fed up with shitty, hypocritical puritanical BS out in the world generally.

That would include me, which is why I'm speaking up: Your comment smears me, though I'm sure you didn't think you were talking about me.

Otherwise, I wouldn't have said anything. I think rehashing this instead of actually discussing the ideas he wrote about is just more disrespectful BS and I hate seeing it.
I don't think the GP's position has anything to do with slowly implemented tyranny; the GP is only referring to once the ragtag group has formed, and assessing their chances of success.

I think that what you describe as the boiling frog scenario would be the best possible strategy for a government that is concerned about its policies being forcefully rejected if implemented all at once.
Cattle aren't exactly picky about what they mow down along with their grass or hay or grain either. And if there's ever been a bale of hay that wasn't crawling with spiders and all manner of other beasties, I haven't seen it.

Whether one would consider the action requested to be rational really depends on the objective of the "mob".

If the objective is to gain some immediate press exposure for immigrants rights issues, it seems totally rational, and it appears to have achieved the goal.

If the objective is to improve conditions for immigrants in ICE/CBP custody in the near term, it's not clear it will help, and it could definitely have unintended negative consequences. For example, ERO agents under increased pressure due to IT systems going down may be less likely to offer DA on humanitarian grounds, if it's just easier and less paperwork to deport en masse. Maybe there's a strong rational argument to be made in favor, but average citizens don't have complete information or authority to investigate, so it really seems to boil down to more of a "gut instinct" decision.

If the objective is improvement in conditions for immigrants in the longer term, it might be rational if it's part of a persistent, steady application of pressure to reform ICE/CBP/ORR through a combination of protests, opening cases to trigger judicial oversight, and lobbying to achieve change through legislative processes. But it's unclear if this kind of boycott is particularly effective use of time/resources towards that goal.

As a recruiter, I have to say that .Net is still used by startups, especially in Europe and cities like Manhattan with a large European population. I am shamefully plugging the fact that I am recruiting for said roles :-)
And your case would probably be dismissed before it ever gets off the ground. That’s if you can get an attorney to take it in the first place. You could have an ironclad case of whatever and if everyone shows up to court and it’s the first time the company is hearing about it, chances are the judge will throw it out. They generally have to be given an opportunity to respond before you can go kick their asses in court.

What I could never get my head around when reading about free software is how can people, especially individuals or small companies make money making free software. Sure you can sell it but then the buyer is free to sell it for half the price.

One way is if the software is a marketing tool for selling something else. Then people sharing or using it is good for marketing the other service.

Another way is if the product is useless to the customer base in source form so they need to buy the compiled version, and aren’t technical enough to do it themselves.

But in general making software to sell needs a propitery license if you want to make money.

Most major breakthroughs were pretty low tech in origin, and the high tech was all about optimizing the idea. I think we get fundamental research backwards nowadays.
The holocaust and slavery fall in the realm of physical violence, or at least coercion.

Violence and coercion don't logically follow from racial differentiation. One may point out the differences between populations of different races, but that wouldn't justify attacking any individual from those populations.

My comment is framed inside that basic (and obvious) principle. Choosing a partner or an employee is not a violent or coercive act.
I just hope it has a better keyboard.
It would be a bit thorny as LEO's operate with handguns and legitimate CCW's carry handguns, but you could definitely restrict them much more. I do agree that it mostly seems like a no-brainer compromise, handguns are not particularly militia nor hunting material.

So hang on, you're happy to say that you are leaping to his defence because you're sick of some abstract concept against which you rally instead of the facts of the matter, his past pattern of behaviour, and the complaints that have been made themselves?

That's worth a laugh. He's innocent enough to warrant defending because you interpret that a lot of people in unrelated cases take things too far. Gotcha.

That's not a defence; if anything, me thinking it was just based on a cult of celebrity was me being kind and giving a supposed unintended audience (you included, so you tell me) the benefit of the doubt which you've admitted to not deserving.
Fair enough.

Present day, I'd say mainly watch out for eagles. At least, if you're a child. Ostriches too, but they won't hunt you.
This is truly where the danger lies. You can say that you're trying to make rulesets that are accurate to the world we live in, without acknowledging that you fall heir to, and may in fact be producing this generation's version of, historical policy decisions that contributed to or outright created racial division and disparities in the first place. Then and now exist an appeal to empiricism that takes the current state as the natural order, and not one manufactured by past decisions which aimed specifically at a particular, and not altogether organic, conclusion.

This wasn't the case as recently as a few years ago. I used to listen to the podcast version of Wait Wait Don't Tell Me exclusively, and remember musical interludes that immediately went right back to the show.

One time I was driving in the car at just the right time and heard Wait Wait Don't Tell Me on the radio for the first time (as opposed to in podcast form) and was startled that there were ads. Now of course there are a ton of ads, but I remember being surprised by how NPR seemed to be a holdout to the Mailchimp/Casper/Blue Apron-fueled ad craze.
If the fund manager leaves your money sitting around in cash for a few years, that impacts your returns, since you could have put that money to work elsewhere. Including the gradual investment as part of IRR is the correct thing to do.
There's a lot of money chasing meat-alternative startups. And that means a lot of PR and PR dollars.

It's hard for me to imagine we are scraping the bottom of the barrel when pork chops are 99 cents a pound in the grocery store.
Depends on what you mean by prevent tyranny.

But there are numerous examples of fighting forces comprised of citizens with small arms and explosives making the mission long, bloody, and expensive for the US military.

Nearly every military conflict after Korea has been of this variety.
But it's round robin. So give it a bit more time and they get a pretty complete picture. Eg if you resolve neopets.com every morning, they just need to wait (approx) 4 days to capture the request
Actually, it's a comment on an Internet forum, which could be a faithfully retold anecdote or a pure fabrication. In fact, if the book were current, I would be more inclined to take that post as an advertisement for the novel 'Less Than Zero', which I may check out later.

You make a good point though, that we somehow expect that kids exist in a vacuum when they are actually full and active participants in society. It is ludicrous to think that Juul's advertising to make their product seem desirable to adults would not also affect young people. It's similarly unrealistic to think that kids wouldn't vape in the absence of any advertising whatsoever.

I wonder what kind of evidence might be uncovered that would prove Juul did something that is clearly illegal. Joe Camel was held to be a cartoon character and therefore an appeal directly to children. In the case of Juul hiring influencers though, perhaps they could analyze the influencers' analytics data and see if they disproportionately reach under-18s, but pure numerics might be hard to sell to a jury without a smoking gun like an email that says "sign Jim Fortnite because he's big with the 14-16 year olds this week".
It is much easier to write math tests if you can assume that the students can do arithmetic, matrix inversion and multiplication, trigonometry, logarithms, regressions, variance, etc, nearly instantly.

Because the instruction list from above isn't backed with any solid reasoning and because commenting is what people do on HN.

Pray tell, what is this enviable use case that I so clearly do not grasp?
So, I disagree with the "inherently racist" portion of your argument. You can evaluate the classifiers in a race independent manner, i.e. take a look at the metrics stratified across race. I'm going to proceed here assuming that the classification task is possible.

Say in your example of criminality, if black people were more predicted by the classifier, it isn't racist if it accurately reflects the base distribution. There's a line to be crossed here, and to me it's if that application starts to significantly (where the boundary lies here is up for debate), and directly affect the non-criminal portion. I'd say that if the misclassification error is similar across racial lines, then there is no issue.

Additionally, I don't quite agree with the "making racial biases worse" argument either. The way I see it, we already use racial heuristics in law enforcement. With automated, replicable tasks, we can at least quantify the degree of bias and correct for such.

> You could have had the exact same experience with Heroku or many other similar products that have been around for almost a decade and a half--it has nothing to do with serverless.

See below with Ander.

I don't have much infra, I don't need infra.

(I do in fact have a couple of VMs because I do have a service that is stateful.)

Not having to think about anything aside from "here is my code, it runs" is nice. Debugging consists of "did I write bad code?"

> It sounds like your architecture is far too complicated if you're managing all this by yourself. You don't need "a set of VMs" per environment if you're a small start up.

For the few things I run on VMs I still have to manage secrets so they can connect to the right DB. I also need to point my apps to the proper environment. The app being dev'd on my phone needs to point to the dev server with the dev DB secrets stored on it. Same goes for the website on localhost, or the website on the development server.

In an ideal world I'd have a script that created new environments on demand and it'd wire up all the build scripts automatically. Every developer would trivially get their own VM and could switch parts of the software (website, app, services) to point to various environments easily.

Why in the bloody world some build systems hard code only 2 options in is beyond me.

> If you believe that, you haven't been doing this long enough.

Sure old runtimes will be deprecated, but let's compare that to:

1. Setting up nginx
2. Setting up letsencrypt
3. Figuring out why my certs auto-renew but nginx doesn't pick them up (Turns out default setup doesn't actually force nginx to pick up the certs!)
4. Learning about various process management tools for JS to keep my services running
5. Setting up alerts for aforementioned daemons.
5b. Probably involves configuring outbound email.
6. Realizing something went horribly wrong in 5b and my inbox is now flooded with alerts.
7. Writing scripts to automate as much of the above as possible.
8. This legit happened, there was a security fix to SCP on Windows that changed how one of the command line parameters worked, breaking my deployment scripts when running them from Windows.
9. Does Google really want to charge me per decryption to store my API keys in their cloud API key storage service? They have to make money, but ouch.
10. Security updates not just for code, but for the VM images.

Like, I get it, if my entire job is back-end development. But I want to write some functions that maybe hit double digit millisecond run times and throw away all their state after.

Firebase says "here, export some functions, we'll give you an HTTPS URL you can call them at."

That is the sum total of my relationship with the tooling. "Run my code." "Sure."

About the only other thing that works that simply is a headphone jack, and those are going away.
So hang on, you're happy to say that you are leaping to his defence because you're sick of some abstract concept against which you rally rather than the facts of the case himself?

There is nothing whatsoever abstract about the things I'm tired of.

This is neither the time nor place to rehash my criticisms. It wouldn't do any good anyway.

> Oh, it's a parabola... Plus a slanted line.

FWIW, this was almost completely useless to me in visualizing the parabola. If I was doing this by hand, it's easy to find the roots and glance at the leading coefficient to figure out what it'll look like.
