You need to factor in evaporation. The longer the whiskey is in the barrel the more that evaporates (the "angel's share").
If you agree that both put in $50 worth of something, then why does one get something while the other nothing? How is that honest? The employee was investing time for the stock, the investor fiat.

The employee was offered 1% of the company.

Reasonable, everyday people will understand that to be 1% of all money that comes in on a sale after paying legal fees and bond holders.

The rest of the convoluted mess, while legal and negotiated and something I understand, is done in a way that is taking advantage of the information and power asymmetry of the two market participants. Just as stock swindles happened in the late 1800s.

Honest markets do create more meritocratic markets, as market participants can engage without the friction of complete distrust. Courts and systems to create trust are essential. If you don't understand that concept, then we likely won't ever agree, I think it's a pretty basic concept in capitalism and economics. It's like people who don't believe in supply and demand, if you can't agree on something so basic, then all subsequent points will be going off a different basis.

As stated in my earlier reply, look at the stock market and how it was for investors in the 18th century when there were little to no rules protecting investors and therefore there was massive friction from dishonest market participants.

Your argument can be boiled down to 'caveat emptor'. Which is an argument that lacks intellectual cohesiveness when you are simultaneously supporting the legal structure that removed such a situation from the average investor and which has allowed our markets to develop and become fully capitalized as market participation soars when honest behavior is enforced.

It amazes me that someone can honestly argue against providing time investors with the same protection as fiat investors.

You use "antithesis" like there's a contradiction, but this dissolves because we are talking about different people.

The people behind Go promote Go, and the people behind Dart promote Dart, and the people working on Tensorflow promote Tensorflow. That's what they're working on. This doesn't require consensus about languages, or even philosophies behind languages.

So, pointing to Go and saying it contradicts some other language's philosophy? There is no contradiction. They are different people. And even the same person could agree that each language has different strengths.

(Also, "known to many Googlers" doesn't imply "known to all Googlers", so pointing out someone who didn't know something isn't a counterexample.)
No, both your logic and premise are incorrect. To give just one example, rate-limiting is clearly widespread stateful practice applied to GET requests, and it doesn't cause web crawlers to wreak havoc on anything.

> Perhaps these artworks in their store have unknown owners

For unknown owners, fine. But they know where the Caravaggio came from. The article says, "Giovanni Prisco: Yes, and it is a paint stolen at the end of 1990 and was from a private house. It was discovered in the north of Italy."

I'm reading that as saying that it was stolen from someone's private house and that it was recovered somewhere else in the north of Italy.
Sure, that's a lot of variation. Sure, some of these features are essential for certain applications, like checksum offload etc. However, most of these features are still uniform enough that a whole bunch of them are supported by standard drivers included with all BSD operating systems, and configurable with the standard ifconfig of each BSD, too:

http://mdoc.su/-/ifconfig.8

The fact that you even have a whole table with these features shows that these features are not that difficult to categorise and unbrand to be general enough to have OS-defined behaviours and configurations for.
This would also imply that there's probably fruitful hiring ground in picking from anyone inside your organization (where you have the most direct knowledge) who does their job well, no matter what it is.

I remember receiving an email from the BSI ("Bundesamt für Sicherheit in der Informationstechnik"; engl. "Federal Office for Security of Information Technology") regarding a misconfigured NTP server that could be abused for NTP reflection attacks.

Cops _in the USA_ are almost always held liable for abuses of power including outright murders.
We can’t disarm our police because you will always be able to buy assault rifles in sane states like Texas. Do you want your police to be outgunned by the bad guys? I would like for my police officers to be more well armed than the criminals, maybe that’s just me. I would like to see you try to do their job without any weapons. Fool.
But how you do run that command only once on every computer? Including ones that are currently not in the building, or on.
Google is rumored to support TOTP, only I have to first provide my phone number to find out. Which means their ‘2fa support’ is useless to me and looks more like those ‘put in your phone number to download the pdf’ websites.
We're talking about people performing actions with the goal of causing another person's death, not someone who's completely at the mercy of fate and has nothing to do with murder.

If it helps, you can think of the robot as having a bug that leads to try to kill people sometimes if the right events happen around it. Should we only fix the bug in robots that have carried out successful attempts?
> Either of your interpretations of Monty picking a door at random lead to a conditional probability of 1/2 that your chosen door has the car given that he revealed a goat.

No, if Monty picks a door by random, but the show shuffles the doors until he gets it "right" and picks a goat, that is exactly the same scenario as if Monty knows where the goats are and picks one straight away, which means my odds of winning when switching is 2/3.

So that is a scenario where "Monty picks a door by random" doesn't lead to the odds changing to 50/50.

The carbon tax and tech solutions are a must but won't be enough, due to lack of time.

The science tells us we don't have much to turn things around, not nearly enough.

Based on our history of energy transitions, even rolling out commercially available tech for low/zero carbon generation left to market forces will take many decades, almost a century.

Then there are hard problems we simply have no low/zero carbon solution for at scale.
Manufacturing pig iron for primary steel, ammonia, cement, industrial agriculture, plastics, shipping, aviation, etc.

Also, AFAIK there does not exist a demonstrated technology for CO2 sequestration that scales and has the required CO2 emission balance (needs energy to run).
Storage is also unsolved.
I'm curious if you have a link.

It took a century to build out the global oil infrastructure with its millions of miles of pipelines, pumps, oil tankers, etc.

We'll need to handle multiple times the material flow for CO2 sequestration.
And overhaul/retrofit/upgrade the entire global energy system, industry, transportation, shipping, agriculture...
Even allowing for existing sequestration tech - there's no time.

We need a quick head start that only cutting back consumption can give us.
10% of the population is responsible for 50% of global anthropogenic emissions.

If the top 1% of emitters or the ~75 million people at the top cut back their consumption to the level of the average European's, global emissions would decrease by 30%.

The current economics paradigm (~growth is a must) guarantees we can't solve climate change as growth cannot be decoupled from CO2 increase.

This is a physics problem. Physics doesn't care about ROI or discount rates or tactics.

We were given a diagnosis of terminal cancer quite some time ago and we refused to do chemo or undergo surgery because it would have meant a drastic change in our lifestyle.
Now we are stage three.
We still meet with our oncologist team from time to time, only to actively sabotage all of their attempts to save us.

In 1988 the UN established the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
In 31 years, after 51 IPCC sessions and 25 major conferences our yearly CO2 emissions increased by 60%.
That's how much we care.

In 2019,
Energy companies are still set on fully realizing their extractions rights and are actively seeking new oil and gas fields to exploit, including in the thawing arctic.

We're still buliding 1500+ new coal power plants and hundreds of airports.

We're busy entrenching our fossil fuel dependence.
Anthropogenic CO2 emissions are still on the rise.

There's just no political will.

Not in my experience, nor that of my friends who got offers.

My typical friend who got a Google offer, already had a bunch of other offers by the time their Google process finally completed. Then the Google offer came in and it was typically higher than most or all of these outstanding offers. Often substantially so.

However, if you have an outlier offer that is based on some theoretical equity valuation ("an extra $1m in stock options based on our last fundraising round"), Google will not match it.

Frankly, they don't need to when their initial offer is already higher than most other options, and far safer.

Also from what I've seen, Google won't just match other offers, but they do have some specific companies whose offers they will match, like FB. FB is also one of the few companies that may offer you higher comp than Google.

I disagree. The conversion should be automatic. The converted result should then be compared against the original, and whichever is smaller should be sent to users. There may well be gifs that are smaller than their conversions, but I don't trust users to know which those are. Let the computer compare the two and make an objective decision.

Many statistical assumptions are regurarly broken, for pragmatic reasons (it just works better), or because the world is not static (and so the IID assumption is broken). There is an entire subfield of learning on imbalanced datasets, which includes resampling, subsampling, oversampling, and algorithms like SMOTE. It is common to use these techniques to get a better performance, including on unseen out-of-distribution data. Fraud - and CTR - and medical diagnosis models are regurarly rebalanced for other purposes than trying to break assumptions or cheat oneself into a seemingly higher accuracy. Plus, the signal does not dissapear when training only on originally balanced data. These systems do not work by the grace of a rebalancing trick alone, but they may work better (as usually the case with neural nets, which do not even give convergence guarantees: something only a statistician would worry about).

You can switch negative with positive class and my point remains: if the authors wanted the fraudulenty hack the accuracy score, this is way easier with imbalanced data. AUC metric robust to class imbalance anyway: ranking won't change for unseen data out of distribution, you can just adjust the threshold to match it.

I'd say an academic source is necessary in this case, because you implicitly accuse these scientists of doing shoddy hyped up work, with fudging tricks to appear more accurate. I need more than popular media sources or previous HN discussions to admit this paper was "widely discredited".

Your Yuri Geller example is a red herring: one is a stage magician, the other is peer-reviewed science. But to oblige: https://scholar.google.com/scholar?q="yuri+geller"
I'm working on something like this with the DebOps[1] project. It's a set of Ansible playbooks and roles that lets you manage Debian environments. I aim for it to be agnostic - roles can be used effectively both in LXC containers, virtual machines or bare metal.

You can start with a few machines with Debian netinst + SSH installed, and build them up with the services you want. Applications are installed either from Debian or upstream repositories (via APT), downloaded directly from upstream with proper signature verification, or compiled from git sources. There are no OS images, therefore no containers or VMs are strictly necessary.

It seems that in the age of Kuberenetes projects like this are a niche, but if somebody is working with on-premises infrastructure, bare metal hosts, a good set of tested Ansible roles which you can use as a base for your own deployment might come in handy. I haven't found anything close to what I had in mind back then, so I started my own, going at it for 6 years now. Hopefully it will be useful to somebody else at some point. :-)

Please do it. It is reasonably simple to build something like that, I've done it many times for over a decade now - its so much fun and truly rewarding. From the beginning you need to focus on the developer experience that means you need to make sure your execution of all the components is done in a way that allows a developer to develop and not have to click buttons or fill in any forms.

To me the interface is the IDE and important changes in source code happen when I merge branches to master. From there the ingredients are a well developed cicd pipeline plus some integrated infrastructure as code (i.e cloudformation, teraform, ansible). The infrastructure as code can get a little complex and you need to know the the underlying components quite well or it might cost you more than you think. You could achieve this with a vps too if you had one. One of the reasons I use Jekyll is I can host in on s3 which allows us to focus our operational capabilities on our main business, Servana does devops and cloud services.

I use Jenkins with a declarative pipeline plus cloudformation which configures all the infra like s3 bucket and cloudfront distribution etc. I kept it simple but still pro with the main goal that a developer does not have to log into anything to trigger updates. The pipelines creates a release and tags master merges.

When I build these workflows the developer experience is very important so I always make the process completely automated with no interrupts if it can be helped. My focus is on one thing, the code and the development experience.
Sorry for the off topic, but I just have to get this of my chest:

> "Please water the flowers; they have harmed no one"

It always surprises me how quickly Nazis could switch from murderers to normal innocent people. It is almost as if they all had some split personality disorder.

Go read the semi-biography of Hess, he could within two sentences switch from "by using a higher concentration of chemicals we can now process 10.000 more units per day" to "my wife is so beautiful, I love her so much" (not actual quotes from the book, but you get the idea)

(Units = Jews being killed, he didn't call them humans).

An interesting quote:

" In contrast, China’s R&D spending reached $410 billion in 2016—more than
Japan and Germany. China graduated 5 million STEM graduates—almost 10 times the U.S.
number. Can we call it a race if one side appears strolling and not to be running?
Additionally, our best researchers spend a third of their time not doing research but filling
out forms and applying for a shrinking pool of grants (a remarkable inefficiency, like
having the star players of a major league baseball team sweep the field rather than practice
and play ball). The Chinese do not have these problems and provide immense, consistent
support for research and education"
I’d bet the unsubsidized economics of residential solar for the utility actually make this likely a pretty reasonable number.

I have solar myself, but we have to be honest that residential installs really destroy the economics of traditional power generation. And net metering regulation makes that even more the case, which is why net metering can’t last and/or storage will be required along with residential solar.
Doesn't stop you naming the problem. If everyone thinks that cutting a straw out is going to solve the problem, then the problem will go unsolved.

What happens if I take the coaching program, land a job offer but that offer is less than what I would like/be able to accept?

Do I still owe you the % fee? or is it only after actually taking the job?

I mean, if I don't taje the job but got the training anyway, that seems like I would be "pirating" the course. But if I am not comfortable taking the offer because partner/kids/rent/whatever, I would still be out of pocket several thousands without the high paying job.

Interesting concept nonetheless and definitely would consider it!
Of course it's not worth it if you can pass it yourself.

Plenty of people would gladly accept this offer. I would accept the google offer with a 15% pay cut in a heartbeat. No hesitation at all.
Which is exactly what the matching twitter option does: it marks media you post as "sensitive" and puts the click-through in front of it. Text and retweets aren't media, and you can't enable a filter for them (there is an profile-wide "this profile may contain potentially sensitive content" warning too, but as far as I know that is only applied by Twitter, not a user setting)
She didn't say that. She said that she recommends that parents of daughters do their best to promote businesses run by women, so that their daughters are more likely to be exposed to women as role models.

Not sure where you are getting that she was suggesting telling the daughters themselves do that. Her approach is to point a daughter into growing into a powerful woman herself.

Very different thing.
The fact that you are afraid of a free and open internet is depressing.
What I am not seeing in this discussion is any calculations showing how much of these outcomes are down to dumb luck, sample bias and correlation.

For example:

> Furthermore, research using our CEO database found that the top decile of high performing CEOs are 35 percent more likely to dynamically reallocate capital than average performers.

Maybe they stumbled into an opportunity that the rest didn't. That's luck.

> To move “boldly” is to shift at least 30 percent more than the industry median. Making one or two bold moves more than doubles the likelihood of rising from the middle quintiles of economic profit to the top quintile, and making three or more bold moves makes such a rise six times more likely.

So if your random walk takes you upwards, you wind up having walked upwards. Brilliant.

> In the largest research effort of its kind, McKinsey found that CEOs who insist on rigorously measuring and managing all cultural elements that drive performance more than double the odds that their strategies will be executed.

Measured number rises, unmeasured number remains unmeasured. Scientists baffled.

Remember: these are the best and the brightest. They are taken extremely seriously.

Edit: they do give a source for their 45%-explained-by-CEO claim ... and it's a pop-business book written by the same authors. Oh well.

I’ll give it a try. I can’t speak to the downvotes, but from my perspective you started talking about physics itself being repeatable. That is a separate topic from whether academic publications are repeatable. The thread’s context was the top comment suggesting the research linked at the very top is questionable because of it’s conclusion and it’s category (social science). My argument is that neither the conclusion nor the category can be used to assume the linked article is less than scientific, and that no sciences are designed to tell us why things are the way they are. When you add that physics itself is 100% repeatable, while true, it isn’t relevant to the topic nor does it help reflect on the article’s validity.
