Thanks for the feedback... right now we are only using extracted text (and some DOM data) for ML. We aren't using the images for any ML work because, as you likely suspect, that's pretty hard to do in a meaningful way.

We aren't surfacing the per page scores at the moment... most of the ML work was done specifically for this content piece, so we haven't adjusted our core presentation to include it (including the flag grading system which we use to build the training model), other than simply listing stand-out examples at the top of the site.

For our customers, we likely will need to build industry/use-specific models. (Amazon is already sort of doing this by providing pharm-specific text classifiers.) Use cases are so disparate at the moment that it's hard to build a general model for everyone.

As for the cross-domain errors, grrr! Thanks, we will look into it... hard to troubleshoot those. Our API stack consists of CloudFormation -> API Gateway -> API Gateway Caching -> Lambda -> DynamoDB... (edit AKA who knows where those errors are! haha)

(And more detail on the problem you are having w/ image diff slider would be appreciated... feel free to email us directly from email at bottom of site. Not sure I understand this issue you're having.)

(edit feel free to email me w/ error details at peter (at) deepdiveduck . com ... the cross-domain scripting errors are a constant thorn in our sides so we'd like to get any other info you have on 'em)

Does this mean every pro basketball player in the US goes through college? Why? What do they typically study? "Sport science"?
It feels to me like this is the thesis:

> Furthermore, a typical lexer will strip all whitespace from the token stream, so the parser never sees it.

...but is that important in answering the underlying question?

Or, to ask it differently: can a lexer which ignores an entire class of legal characters (whitespace) ever be context free?

The fact that python performs minor gymnastics around whitespace in order to achieve its control structure pattern is not per se pre-existing context in terms of its parser. If that's the conclusion that I'm being asked to reach, then I disagree with the argument.
That was all I could think about when following this. I've been a developer for a long time and I know how this story is going to end.

Nobody cares about that. Sales and value is what matters in the real-world. Gitlab has sales from customers who have proven they value the product. That's where the valuation comes from.

It doesn't matter if you can clone it exactly tomorrow. Go ahead and do so. It won't give you the same valuation and it won't hurt theirs because that's not how it works.
The trillions I was referring to would be to build new infrastructure that is more expensive to operate instead of less. It was already stated elsewhere, but if you spend investment dollars to decrease productivity, you waste money twice -- first on the new equipment, and second on the added cost for each unit output.

So I guess you could say yes, if we collect the taxes and then sink them into substandard infrastructure, that effectively destroys a lot of wealth.

Likewise, if you subsidize something to the point where an inferior product only makes sense because of the subsidy, that's destroying wealth. There needs to be a technological path which shows how any given piece of subsidized infrastructure can ultimately stand on its own. If the subsidized thing is structurally inferior, it has to be turned off the moment the subsidy is taken away, or the government is forced to subsidize it forever.
I think it will be an uphill battle no doubt, but I think the only alternative would be to share the whole dataset and have reviewers re-implement the analysis to confirm the results. That would also be a huge improvement, but it seems like a much bigger burden on reviewers.
It is a stipend, and stipends are allowed by the NCAA. The handbook in your link calls it a stipend. Since there is a hard cap on how much cash you can actually take from your "pay", I would call it a stipend.
At the end of the day, excepting edge cases, the spread on most listed equity options absorbs any difference between model pricing.
> engineer.

nature can plant trees instead. Trees, if left alone for a couple of years will naturally reproduce and plant themselves. The key bit is leaving the space alone. It is not something that really needs engineering on the whole.

There is a small amount of places where trees would not be able to colonise if left alone - and we need to use the science of Ecology to examine why. it's here where geotechnology can come into play, but for the vast vast majority of the billions needed, we just need to leave alone .

Now, saying that, there is a great benefit in getting children interested in nature and planting trees and so we shouldn't stop planting efforts for that sake. But there is a deeply troubling idea that we can engineer nature to save nature when it's nature that can save itself and us.

On a side note, I was quite surprised/shocked to see Waymo's recent valuation. $105Bn!! That is after Morgan Stanley cut it by 40%. So it was 165 Billion dollars prior to that. 165!!

Now, Uber has it own share of quite extensive R&D on self driving tech. How can it be a $50 Bn market cap company today? With all the markets it is present in? For me, it looks like an opposite case of that of WeWork. Conspiracy against the company right in public market. It began with Travis getting all the heat for pretty trivial things, all the way till the IPO and now.

I honestly don't understand how a company which practically revolutionized public transport all over the world and created a business model which gave a bazillion uber-for-X companies be valued so less.
Just curious, how would you account for the increase in those crimes?
Isn't Black-Scholes based on a normal distribution? Is that an appropriate probability distribution?

Free Software Force: call RMS to step UP from his positions in the free software
Capitalism is nothing more than giving everyone power to do whatever they want. The alternative is Communism which is giving a few government elites the power over everyone. Obviously, these extremes can NEVER be implemented so we will forever live in a middle ground between these two.

Each country will take steps in the latter and natural selection will find the best middle ground between this two. The big problem here is the Tyrannical aspect of Communism and the tendency for global wars. Want it or not almost every moral war was started on this envy stereotype that radical leftists have. Don't forget, Hitler was leader of the National Socialist Party.

The lexer isn't context-free, and you should re-read the paragraph. The part that you left out in the dots is crucial:

> The Python lexer keeps, in addition, a stack of counters for the indentation levels. Moreover, it keeps track of the nesting of parentheses; and the language of balanced parentheses is the canonical non-regular, context-free language! So in this design, there is no clear separation of the context-free part and the context-sensitive part, and the context-sensitive part goes well beyond what a typical lexer can do.
if you have a tree it will spread itself if left alone. You don't need technology just a bit of ground around and existing one, or some acorns, or something from a local garden centre. Getting humans to leave the earth to nature is more of a challenge than getting humans interested in apps and schemes to meddle around in nature to make them feel they are doing natures work for it.
I've literally never, ever had an app recommend me any restaurant (my phone doesn't do internet), and I eat at a lot of restaurants, at home, on the road and abroad. Other than the occasional MickeyD's none of them have been "chain restaurants." How have I survived without the ding dongs at Yelp telling me what to do? Hell, how have I survived without using GPS? I must have superpowers!

Extracting money is what a business does. They managed to extract enough to get their valuation. It has nothing to do with how bad the product is, and shows why sales is far more important than tech when building a company.

That's confusing because "are" ("they're" is a contraction of "they are") is used for the plural. "They is" would be singular, just like "he is" or "she is". It would be ungrammatical for plural "they", but AFIACT is correct for singular "they".

So the unambiguous (but weird sounding to those unused to it) version:

"Is Pat coming to lunch with us?"

"Yes, they is coming in a moment."
For reference, and take all these numbers with a grain of salt (plus, I have no real idea how to value a business), the University of Alabama's athletics department revenue was $175M in 2015-16 [0]; the Buffalo Bills (per Forbes the least valuable NFL team) have a revenue of $386M [1], so more than double Bama.

Trump is the leader of a single branch of government, meanwhile the Republicans and Democrats have pursued the same neo-con policies for years. Trump is going against the grain with his protectionist policies, so it's entirely predictable that he'd receive criticism from established government officials. Also keep in mind that 2/3 branches of government are still controlled by entrenched Democrats and Republicans.
But those pension would've been exposed at previous rounds' price, not the IPO price. An aggressively priced IPO gone bad will likely still net them a positive ROI.
Context; BBC presenter, woman of colour, gives her opinion when asked by co-presenter on Trump's "go back" comments to female Democrat politicians of colour.

BBC censures her for opining on Trump's motivation (not for saying his comments were racist) following complaint.

Protests follow (including a BAME celebrity signed letter); BBC King overrules the decision.
I agree with you only basic models works !!
Undefined as in undefined by language spec. There are various processor implementations that have different results that are often quite useful. Would you preclude their use?
> Or, to ask it differently: can a lexer which ignores an entire class of legal characters (whitespace) ever be context free?

Absolutely. Any CFG can be made to ignore whitespace by dumping the nonterminal W between each symbol in each rule, and letting W -> W ' ' | W '\n' | ''.

If you consider the efficiency of shipping finished goods versus shipping the raw material (and, possibly, labor) necessary to produce the goods domestically, how does that affect the comparison?
Yes, I will admit that the 13" is crazy light and easy to carry, but not worth the 1lb you save from the 15", per my reasons above.
At the risk of showing my age, I did that in business school. There was a period when you could buy floppies in bulk and pricing was maybe 10-20% what they were by ones or twos in the campus store.

Someone else started this first but the floppies they were selling were crap so...

This was also a period when I earned money working in the school's computer lab to help students and there was more than one occasion where a student had their semester of work on a floppy and they bent it or otherwise made it difficult to read though I could usually get most of their info off.
Back when touchscreens started to become popular i remember some talks about a 'tactile overlay' to touchscreens, essentially a grid of tiny bumps (pixels, though at a much lower resolution) that would 'pump up' and 'flatten' just enough to provide a tactile feel to the otherwise glassy screens.

What happened to that?

I have done plenty of reading outside of economics and physics, as well as reading in the history of economics. It is clear to me that economics stumbled around in the dark until the mathematical modeling revolution. There are very few interesting phenomena in economics that we can't capture in a model.

China's former one-child policy, while reasonably successful, had its own unintended consequences (for one thing, too many people aging out of the workforce with too few to replace them). And even with their relative success, there was still a decent amount of dissent and people secretly working around the rules. And China had an authoritarian government to enforce all this. Do you really expect Western democracies to be able to push through any kind of population controls? Do you really expect, for example, the American public to get behind some kind of limits (even if just socially-enforced limits) on the number of kids they can have? That's just not going to happen.
"Profit" just isn't really the right concept here. They pay their coach $3.2 million every year. In 62% of US states, the highest paid public employee is a football coach. In another 16% it's a basketball coach. Regardless of whether they return some of their windfall to the endowment, they're raking in cash.

Tacit knowledge seems underrated - in the past the culture had a high regard for craft - I have this 19th century coffee mill called a Spong and it is a thing of strange beauty - part machine part artwork. I cannot imagine it being drawn in a CAD program today even though it was a mass market good - and my sense is that we now live in a world where Tacit Knowledge is drying up. HN readers often critique education and I've this speculation that maybe if you don't perform physical labour that this one day undermines your intellectual development.

It seems obvious and true in my experience that if you only perform physical work and shun most learning that this would stunt your thinking. If this goes both ways - then mostly performing cognitive labour and perfunctory physical action like at best going to the gym could stunt your thinking in some not obvious way. There is zero discovery when you're on the Stairmaster 6000 but if you were moving a potter's wheel or framing a shed there must be higher quality brain activation.
Oh, please. It’s not the case with science. This effect arises from human nature, not pre-quantum theory science culture. And whatever lesson Feynman May have learned, academia (including science academia) can hardly claim to have universally learned it.
The quote is totally irrelevant to this thread. The slight tangential relationship to the article is they both involve cotton. I'm wearing cotton right now, but it would be silly to think that's somehow relevant to the conversation about plants growing on the moon.

2) Let it crash attitude is often misinterpreted. It means your system should be fault-tolerant in general, so you can focus on the happy case instead of trying to predict all humanly possible failure modes. If you _expect_ invalid input, then handle it properly.
That would only be counterproductive if you actually need that functionality. Very few software would actually need what Vulkan offers. I can only think of AAA games.
Luckily there are innumerable innovations happening every year to provide environmentally cleaner products, whether it's LED lighting, emissions technology, battery chemistry, clothing dyes, irrigation techniques, crop resiliency, or even a more effective cold water formulations of laundry detergent... when cleaner is correlated with better, it wins in the general market all by itself.

‘Feminism’s Betrayal of Women’ by Anne Marie Waters
There's truth to what you're saying, but it implies you have to accept a certain level of pain or physical discomfort if you work in a seated position, and the only way to manage the pain is to get out of your seat. But there are types of pain that can't be managed that way. Those injuries have to do more with sustained muscle tension caused by bad equipment than just sitting, and will continue to get worse until you change your equipment to eliminate the tension.
Since the fading of the New Left, progressivism in general has increasingly turned away from their traditional causes which were rooted in economic concerns and more towards different kinds of social causes. Identity politics isn't the only thing, but it is a primary focus of the left today. Identitarianism was prominent in the New Left, but the one thing that exemplifies the left's use of it today is a decided move away from the systemic to the personal, concerning personal attitudes and how they effect inequalities in society, vs systems of oppression. It's not that the personal doesn't matter, but it is part of a whole; both society and the personal matter[0].

I want to use the N-word (neoliberalism) but that term is a little overused. I guess the better way to express it is a kind of recuperation of identity based issues to fit into the dominant individualist ideology in society (the N word fits here but avoiding it) like the personalization of sexism, racism, turning them from being systems of oppression to being mere personal attitudes.

What would it take for you personally to say that Marx was wrong (not about his critique of capitalism, but about his solution)? What are you waiting to see tried before you are willing to say that Marxism failed?

You have replied with strong knowledge of the literature, but it still sounds a great deal like "No True Scotsman" to me. For every approach, you can find a scholar who says that approach is wrong, so it can never be definitively disproven, because there's always a great Marxist scholar who says "No, that approach was wrong". But from where I sit, the following things seem to be true:

1. No nation-level Communist regime has ever been instituted organically, that is, without vanguardism.

2. Vanguardism has been tried, but produced something that was worse than capitalism - worse both economically and in terms of freedom.

That leaves... what? What are you, personally, looking for that you think would work? If it is tried and fails, will you say "they didn't do it right", or "I was wrong, but Marx wasn't; this other approach is the answer"? Or will you say that Marx does not give a viable answer on how to fix capitalism in a way that actually makes things better?
The rest of the article is mostly fine (if very limited).

I also learned about Permutation City from an HN thread years ago. It's my favorite book now, and I immediately ctrl+F'd this list for Permutation City because everyone else on HN should know it exists.
Chelsea Manning is a whistleblower. Edward Snowden is a whistleblower. John Kiriakou is a whistleblower. Some CIA reptile who hung out at the White House for a few months and is now deeply disturbed by Trump is not a whistleblower. Lots of people are deeply disturbed by Trump.

If she actually were blowing a whistle, it would be about one or more of the evil deeds perpetrated by CIA, where she actually works. In that case, of course, she could look forward to years of prosecutions and imprisonment, just like other actual whistleblowers. In that case her lawyer wouldn't be near as certain of this bullshit: "The law and policy supports protection of the identity of the whistle-blower from disclosure and from retaliation. No exceptions exist for any individual."
