I do not believe a person's salary history gives you any useful information about their effectiveness as an employee.

I have worked with people who had higher salaries than I did who were clearly much worse at the job (a backend architect at a past gig told me that UTF-8 supported only 256 characters, and refused to acknowledge it when I pointed out sources that showed he was wrong).
that sounds perfect for data scientists and machine learning 'engineers'
It's what Google speech-to-text thinks I meant when I said "gzip" into my phone.
Hot shower 60-90 minutes before bed. Lowers your core temperature.
The whole point of morality is that it is subjective. You can not determine what is right as a rule.
I did this in June, 39h/week on trucks. Paradoxically I was pumped by this because having regular activity and financial safety freed me from a ton of issues. So much that during lunch pause I was doing pushups and before bedtime I'd learn Django to make an application for this job. Unfortunately the boss did me wrong so I quit.

To babble a bit more: in August I tried taking a part time morning delivery gig (4-8m 24h/week) thinking it would feel the same but not at all (newspaper delivery is physically stressful), so I quit drained after a month, even though it required no effort and was less time per week than the truck thing.

Right now I have a 30h/week food delivery gig, it's just right to keep me active and the rest of the day I'm writing vue code now.

I may try to find something that would make my body more fit. Maybe having a woodworking shop or something similar.

It's called Paracetamol in other parts of the world.
It happened whether you "prospered" from it or not. How does that alone make you any more culpable? You could argue a baby born today might have indirectly benefited from it. Is that baby culpable to any extent?
Without the hosts, there's no product, less product, less fees, or pretty listings to flout in marketing.

The availability of affordable and decent listings in Paris is testament how badly they need the existing hosts. Who, by the way, are limited by regulations that limit the number of days a host can list per year, as well as tax registration requirements. None of which I'm complaining about; it's just another factor that makes me predict the situation with quality and honest listings will go down.
You have the right to express your opinion to your employer and ultimately to leave the company.

But you are also being compensated for them having the right to use the product of your labor as they see fit.

Implicitly, and probably explicitly in any decent work contract, is that they are the sole owners of the product of your labor and get to decide how it is used.
There are various types of network effects that happen as a result of larger populations. Greater use of specialization and comparative advantage. Economies of scale. Agglomeration. All of these tendencies allow for niche fields like quantum physics to be viable.

A very tiny fraction of the population is capable of understanding it, and to keep it a thriving discipline, we need people actively studying it. Statistically speaking, if only one in a million people is capable of understanding it, then you're in trouble if you don't have that many millions, and if the people with the capabilities are required in other equally important fields.

Transmitting this information purely through written works is extremely difficult if there are no living mentors. And the resources necessary for something like CERN are vast, and only possible to fund in an enormous economy.

Same story with semiconductors, rockets, MRI machines, and most other important technologies.
This is why I want a hardware switch on my microphone, camera, and radio (wifi, etc.) as a standard part of every product that includes them. No matter what features, "bugs" ("oops, did we accidentally bug your house?"), policies, etc., if the power switch says "no", no really means no.
It's just a quick analogy that people readily understand even if what people imagine it entails is wrong. The main thing is people lose their immunity to other pathogens so the meaning of the effect is carried by the shorthand.

Sorry, but his is a major security flaw. WhatApp, their mothership Facebook, or any party who can coerce them into doing so (e.g. the US government), can use this to rekey targets with their own keys, virtually undetectable by most regular users, thereby completely MITMing the message exchanges.

Even moxie, who created this stuff, more or less admitted this[0], by saying the rekeying notification is the only defense, but that one is off by default in whatapp last I checked (which moxie confirmed[1]), which makes whatapp insecure by default at the very least. I wouldn't be surprised if WhatApp servers know if this notification setting is on or off, which would enable them to e.g. target people with insecure default settings only to avoid detection.

I already said this in [0], but let's repeat it: This is essentially the same as if a webbrowser would just accept any TLS certificate without showing a warning no matter if valid or the issuer trust.

Sure, this is hard problem to solve UX-wise and user-education-wise, but that doesn't excuse that you advertise your known-and-deliberately-insecure-by-default default-MITMable product as "secure communication using end-to-end encryption".

I'm surprised nobody has quoted Meditations by Marcus Aurelius yet.

> Thou sayest, Men cannot admire the sharpness of thy wits.- Be it so: but there are many other things of which thou canst not say, I am not formed for them by nature. Show those qualities then which are altogether in thy power, sincerity, gravity, endurance of labour, aversion to pleasure, contentment with thy portion and with few things, benevolence, frankness, no love of superfluity, freedom from trifling magnanimity.

Dost thou not see how many qualities thou art immediately able to exhibit, in which there is no excuse of natural incapacity and unfitness, and yet thou still remainest voluntarily below the mark? Or art thou compelled through being defectively furnished by nature to murmur, and to be stingy, and to flatter, and to find fault with thy poor body, and to try to please men, and to make great display, and to be so restless in thy mind?

No, by the gods: but thou mightest have been delivered from these things long ago. Only if in truth thou canst be charged with being rather slow and dull of comprehension, thou must exert thyself about this also, not neglecting it nor yet taking pleasure in thy dulness.
Trazodone is more widely prescribed nowadays. Ambien, sonata, lunesta and the like are generally not prescribed for long term use. Plain old benadryl may work well if you haven’t tried it.
Hello, I'm a real boy! I happen to support both of these positions, but it is indeed possible to condemn ICE without feeling the same about the GOP in general, and jumping immediately from one to the next is exactly the kind of thing people mean when they talk about moving the goalposts.
What do you mean? Is there a source on this?
If you were to open a file that didn't exist and then not use the result at all, then you get a warning (which can be made an error, if you want):

File::open("foo");
// warning: unused `Result` that must be used

But that's also not necessarily an invalid program, it's just not a very useful one. Failing to open a file doesn't interrupt the program in any way, so File::open here will return either a file handle or an error, neither of which get used. However, if you open a file, don't check for an error, but still try to use the file, then your program won't compile:

File::open("foo").read(&mut buffer);
// error: method `read` not found in `Result<File, Error>`

You need to be explicit about what to do in case the file didn't open, and Rust won't let you use your file handle unless you explicitly indicate what to do in that error case!
Calm down. Machine learning is a part of software engineering. Like multiprocessing, computer graphics or network protocols. It is here to stay. It is a part of a pallete of algorithms with which one can build software.

??? Your argument is upside down

The vast majority of 'bad labour practices' in the US stem from employment of illegal aliens.

Consider if those migrants were 'released from detention' they'd be employed illegally somewhere at sub-legal wages, sub-legal conditions, no unions, no complaints, no healthcare etc. etc..

Companies employ illegal labour largely because they can cheat on a variety of labour practices not because 'they can't find the talent'.

This creates a toxic effect whereby those trying to 'play by the rules' can be put out of business by lower margin competitors and are forced into to doing this. There are many jobs that Americans would in fact do if wages and conditions were above bar.

The primary driver of illegal migrant is jobs - when the economy booms, many more people enter illegally. When it's rough, there's a downturn.

It would be much more simple and humane to simply go after the employment of illegal aliens on the basis of humanitarian grounds alone and there's ample ways to do this.

FYI this likely would not affect the migrant of true refugees as much, ergo, you have a border system a little more focused on those in need, and less focused on economic migrants.

GitHub is a large business in a fairly politically secular area (software) - they should be able to support anything the US government does aside from possibly weapon systems or military activities. The place for employees to get upset is at the ballot box, protest etc. etc..
Agreed. SQL being declarative, is primarily why there haven't been many tools to augment the development process. Same goes for machine learning, albeit SQL is not fuzzy like ML. No way to know whether a model "works" unless you train and run it.

How does that make you feel?
How is this a problem? Like.... seriously.

This is the whole point of everything. If you believe strongly in a thing, then you should fight for it. And other people in society will judge you for it (rightly so!)

So yeah, you decide that you care enough about "sanctity of marriage" so you decide to not sell cakes. So everyone who disagrees with you boycotts your business. Others believe that sexual orientation is such an important thing that they make it illegal for you to do this! This is how stuff happens!

There isn't some sort of rules-based pre-judgement for this sort of stuff. It gets played out over time. And you're responsible for your decisions in this front.
How is this disinformation? The story says that NSO was used to target human rights advocates.
And it doesn't make it true.

5G Sanitation Robots to Help Clean Streets in China
I mean, nothing justifies shooting into a crowd, but some students at Kent State threw rocks at the heads of firefighters because the building they were fighting a fire in was the ROTC building. Some of the Kent State students (likely a small minority) do deserve some of the blame.
This is a very good point and I fully agree. Most migration is based on economic opportunity.

Trump is kind of a hypocrite on this point: he happily hires illegal labour because it's cheap, but then wants to put up walls politically.

FYI I believe that illegal labour is a major source of economic inequality as well: it hurts the working class the most, and the gains go to capital and middle class.
If part of the reason that employees at companies like Github get equity is to foster a sense of ownership, it's no surprise that employees concern themselves with the larger picture.
Hi @georgewfraser: We understand this point, and you aren't the first to mention it on HN =)

But our users, and the users of most so-called "time series databases", do not typically generate the classic scan-oriented workloads of OLAP systems that motivated C-Store and classic columnar data warehouses.

I talk about this in the post: sure, there are deep and narrow queries, but there are also a /lot/ of shallow and wide queries. Most real-time dashboarding, which is a huge use-case for IT/devops monitoring and IoT sensor monitoring, is about "what happened very recently".

But you do occasionally want to look back, so you want to keep old data sitting around, just in a cost-effective manner. And there is a lot of data: time-series and monitoring applications are typically write (not read) heavy, and ingest high volumes of data continuously.

Enter compression and data tiering, both of which appeared in today's v1.5 release.

As such, the primary motivation behind our work on compression was actually saving storage overhead, not improving query performance. Although we'll never pass up on performance improvements when we get them! =)

(And we are familiar with the citation -- I've known Daniel and Sam for many years, and one of the engineers who led this work at Timescale was actually Daniel's former PhD advisee Josh Lockerman.)

"Common anticholinergic drugs like Benadryl linked to increased dementia risk"

right, it's impossible to establish a universal, objective framework for morality. instead, we can only make compromises between majorities and vocal minorities, codify them as laws and ethics, and enforce them.

however, that doesn't absolve you of sticking up for your moral code, depending on what it is. for example, I'm gay. I know that Chik-Fil-A is complying with the law, and that its owners are funding advocacy for conversion therapy and other anti-LGBT issues. I wouldn't want Chik-Fil-A to be dismantled, since it's lawful, but I refuse to eat there, since my personal morals prevent me from giving money to people who want to hurt people like me. I'd also support protests of Chik-Fil-A, since protest is a lawful action (at least, social media campaigns and picket lines.)

Don't be lazy. Stand up for what you believe in. The law is the lowest common denominator, and legality doesn't absolve you of your actions.
others think the laws are fundamentally unjust.

Even others (a plurality I think) don't have strong feelings on the laws, but know one of the following:
- the executive has selective enforcement rights
- (at the time) congress + the WH could change laws!
- the laws were written with an understanding of selective enforcement

and so rightly recognized that this was a bad thing that could be made right.

There is an n-sided die about how people see this problem, and people acted in accordance to it. And yeah, it means that some sides don't believe in the legitimacy of other sides. They're incompatible after all.

Besides, it's not the point. The point of the game isn't to make a set of meta-rules for defining what is morally right. It's for, on a case-by-case basis, to say "this thing is good/bad" and then act on that.

I don't need to be able to answer every moral hypothetical to be able to say that _this one specific thing is bad_. To bring it back to HN, it's a P=/=NP problem. I can say one thing is good/bad without providing the full strategy for determining every thing. And then we work from there.
It surely takes some mental gymnastics to contort taking a position against supporting an agency that detains children into an abuse of power.
Sort of, there's a lot of similarities to be said of Florida and Queensland though Australia mostly sits in line with Mexico latitude wise.

Hervey Bay is about the same latitude as Miami with the Great Barrier Reef aligning with the Caribbean.
Sydney is pretty close to Los Angeles latitude wise, while the most southerly major city, Hobart is about the same as Boston (or somewhere in-between SF and Portland).

And most of that is coming from MattGreen and Ptacek.
Totally second that.

The moment salaried employee start sabotaging his job and putting his views against his job description - it's clearly time for him to reconsider employment at a place that better matches his priorities.

Win-win for all, no struggle needed.

Don’t understand the downvotes to my comment. The person I am responding to said “Should we stop making guns because someone might kill another person”. That is in fact one of the main reasons of guns, specifically because they are used to kill other people. I didn’t downvote that comment, I did not pass any moral judgement on guns. Instead of silently downvoting, it would be better to explain why you disagree with my comment. I believe I am operating in good faith here.

Usually you'd gather data from subjects that broke the rules anyways, just like how we gather info about illicit substances or gunshot wounds. Just because you're not supposed to drink alcohol during pregnancy doesn't mean we have any shortage of data about it.
The key thing you're missing is transfer learning. Instead of starting from scratch, you start with a model that was trained to do something and then train it to do something else. It takes much less time and labeled data to get the model to do something similar.

You can even interleave the training for the second task with a few training rounds for the first task to maintain proficiency. There's a group that's using this sorry if technique to make a general "plays videogames" AI.

empirically speaking no, we (mankind) have never moved half or more of our agriculture hundreds of miles in a generation or two without large number of people not making the transition.

maybe we pull it off this time? seems like a flat out evil experiment to run.

imagine your company running its failover plan to its DR site on short notice. what are the odds of it being flawless?

ok now imagine moving half the farming that feeds everyone you know and love from the midwest to manitoba and ontario. if your reaction to that isn't stark terror at the risk to human life, well then you've played waaaaaaaaaay too many civilization games and your brain has broken into believing this is just a question of right-clicking on the better squares.
Maybe we can train a better AI at turned based strategy games.

Sorry if I wrote that vaguely, he did _not_ syndicate. He was burnt out and it was either close up shop or syndicate, he chose to close up shop.

I may be off on this a little, as I did a little reading to verify. Waterson was opposed to having other people write and draw the Calvin & Hobbs cartoon for him. He noted that so many other cartoons had done this and their quality had plumetted.

From memory (because it was written in his last book, and I can't find it online) he said that when he couldn't make a new cartoon every day and be happy with the quality, he would be done.

Edit: I may be conflating syndication with licensing.... :P
That's nonsense. Philosophers will debate subtleties around morality until the end of time, but that shouldn't prevent us from taking a stand against evil when we see it.

Right, and by requiring a warrant to dig though my shit, at least there's one person with legal training who's ostensibly concerned about my constitutionally protected rights involved in the process.

Just like the priesthood apparently attracts pedophiles because of the opportunities it offers, law enforcement is made of people, and some of those people will have gotten in to it opportunities it provides.

Having access to creep on people with surveillance systems is going to attract the type of person who wants to creep on people with surveillance systems unless those systems are rigidly designed to prevent misuse.
This problem is self-inflicted. Instead of converting users into paying customers with subscription fees and privacy guarantees, corporate social media platforms tried to use advertising to monetize users by turning them into products.
