To say the project is still alive is a bit of an exaggeration, don't you think?
Tokyo has a declining population. When Tokyo’s population was still increasing, housing prices there were ridiculous (there was the 80s factoid about the Imperial Palace grounds being worth more than the entire state of California).

If you look at many other major cities in Asia (especially China) you will see a combination of wall-to-wall skyscrapers as desired by yimby (usually really yiseby) types, plus insanely high property prices.

The advantage of MKL is typically greatly over-rated anyhow, and I don't see why one should care. BLIS and OpenBLAS have good tuned x86 BLAS implementations, and run infinitely faster than MKL on ARM and POWER, for instance, and if you're interested in small matrices on x86_64, there's libxsmm. (I know MKL has more than BLAS, but I don't know what there is that doesn't have free rough equivalents.)

I mean in this case it's hard to find any expert that doesn't agree the problem is self created from over regulation. That doesn't mean we don't need any zoning laws though.
Looks great ! I don't know If you use Apache Airflow in ML or ETL pipelines but I wonder if one could use nbdev to generate Airflow Dags/Operator. There's already some work done to execute Notebooks[0] but would be cool to convert them to Python code!

> has by and large championed democracy around the world.

Have we though? As far as I can tell we've only done that to our enemies. Our "allies" such as Saudi Arabia receive no such "championing".

From other people's point of view, democracy might as well be weaponized regime change.
The Kochs have also funded stem-cell research and gay rights initiatives -- are you similarly cautious about those things?
Amazon Prime price is still $79CAD as it has been since I signed up and I definitely get my money's worth. I actually didn't even realize it came with Prime Video when I signed up. Additionally, I make use of Amazon Photos unlimited backup for ~250GB of the raw files from my camera, any other cloud backup service would cost a similar amount every year.

Please stop the "what if's". They are speculation and have no relevance to the available information about this case.

For me personally, the line of what constitutes ethical behaviour has been long passed by the authors of this tool. That is however completely irrelevant, the question is whether they acted illegally. I have a hard time seeing that based on the information available in the media.

yes ? in an even purer form than most JS frameworks : just using a variable creates a reactive binding.

e.g.

property int count: 0
Text {
text: "counter " + count
}
Button {
onClicked: count++
}

will result in the text changing every time the button is clicked (for a complete code example you can paste in the previous link :

import QtQuick 2.7
import QtQuick.Controls 2.3

Rectangle {
id: root
anchors.fill: parent

property int count: 0
Column {
Text {
text: "counter " + count
}
Button {
onClicked: count++
}
}
}
It's pretty casual but I love it.
I was born in the 80s and my dad was a network engineer with a hobby of privacy invasion. All computers in our house were open to remote login from him and all of our emails had to be through an email server he ran out of our home. Constant surveillance backfired on him in that it taught us how to be increasingly good at hiding activities and covering our tracks. Obviously that doesn't make up for the downsides of constant privacy invasion.

One side of things that has me worried is I recently spoke with my brother over the holidays and he's a highschool teacher. ALL of his students use VPN's to bypass the schools monitoring and blocks on what they can do. What has me concerned is how many of these students understand the implications of funneling all of their private data through VPNs and vetting their VPN choice in the first place.
The question is why do companies even have to see our data? In the old days of the internet universities and government institutions dealt with data, the companies were only there to provide the hardware.
AWS Sagemaker Kubernetes Operator
Earnin | Backend Engineers, Machine Learning Engineers, Mobile Engineers, etc and more | Full-time/Onsite/REMOTE/VISA | Bay Area/Cincinnati/Vancouver

At Earnin, our mission is to create a financial system that works for people. We have grown tremendously over the last several years.

I myself am a backend engineer, we are in the process of decomposing a monolith built in dotnet in C#.

We use AWS extensively, and we are looking for strong generalists and care very little about previous C# experience, though it is a plus of course.

You can email me at g<HN USERNAME>f.golder@earnin.com

You can also see a list of all open positions here: https://www.earnin.com/careers and apply directly if you prefer.

This is a wonderful place to work, we have lots of hard problems to solve, and we (or at least, I) feel very good about the work we do. Dog friendly work place here in Palo Alto, well stocked kitchen, very flexible remote policy, getting almost everything right here.
Good point, the ones at airports could more readily support passports, as opposed to a street-side authorized (or grey market) shop. More recently I've used Google Fi, which has the benefit of roaming on both Unicom and Mobile depending on signal strength, in addition to full internet access.
Scribd | Software Engineers | San Francisco, Toronto, Amsterdam | ONSITE or REMOTE | VISA

Scribd is a reading subscription that gives you access to the best books, audiobooks, magazines, and more. Our mission is to change how the world reads. At the beginning of the year we hit 1M paying subscribers (https://techcrunch.com/2019/01/28/scribd-1-million-subscribe...)! We are one of the oldest YC startups (YC ’06), operating one of the largest Ruby on Rails sites.

Scribd has a very friendly, engineering-driven company culture with competitive salary and great benefits. We are ambitious but at the same time we value a good work life balance. In general we care way more about your personality, communication, and hacking skills than what languages and technologies you’ve used so far.

We are hiring software engineers across the board (see https://www.scribd.com/careers), including:

* The Content Engineering team is in need of both software engineers and senior software engineers, onsite in our new San Francisco office, onsite in our Toronto office, or remote within the United States. The Content Engineering team was newly formed with the dual mission to own and update Scribd's existing content metadata pipeline and build new metadata that can be used by the search, recommendations, data science, and frontend teams to build more useful and intelligent features. Experience with Rails, Spark, and SQL databases are a plus but not required. Excitement for the opportunity to scale our many data pipelines in support of Scribd's growth is required.

* The Search team is constantly striving to improve Search at Scribd in various dimensions - Quality, Relevance, Speed, Costs, Real-time indexing, Uptime, etc. We are looking for software engineers with experience working with Search systems. Experience with Elastic Search is a strong plus. (More details at https://jobs.lever.co/scribd/0de0db4b-971a-4d1d-ac90-9681f97...)

We have hired many people from these HN threads, including myself (back in 2012!). If you have specific questions you can reach out to me directly at adrian at scribd.com (I'm the Head of Technology and happy to answer questions related to our roles - recruiters/agencies: please do not contact me).

How the Vietnam Draft Acted as One Giant Randomized Experiment
The game is good once you get the hang of it, but there are bursts of micromanaging followed by long droughts of waiting for shit to happen. At max speed, the game will do 1 day/3 minutes. Most of the Steam achievements take about 60-100 days to do, which means 3-5 hours per game with lots of time spent not interacting much. Of course, to get to a "full fledged" colony it can take as many as 10 hours of gameplay, which again is mostly waiting for your commands to happen.

Also, because its a Paradox game, the interface is ass.

If you like the genre of games, this is one to lose a couple of dozen hours to. If you just think "oh, Mars is cool" its probably good to skip or download a mod that lets you zoom time faster.
My watch is a computer, so I don't think they want to make general purpose computers.
The term "pivot" has been so overused as to be a joke. These are typically much more like "focusing" or "refining" of their original premise.

These services almost all had a handful of features to start and then found through use that they had a bunch of lackluster features and one killer one (Burbn -> Instagram) is a good example.
Back in the day I had to setup a TV tuner for Linux by hand, by spicifying its module parameters such as the PLL, the tuner and so on. No internet at home, not even by a GSM phone.

Also I had to setup XawTV and AleVT which was no easy task with a Pal tuner and some quirks.

I never learnt so much about IT except when I installed OpenBSD a few years later.
Sure. My apologies, didn't mean to offend - came from reddit. I'll take 'nested_callback' if it's available.
Maaaaybeee
That doesn't seem too terrible - we want unlicensed drivers off the roads too don't we? Whether or not they can drive well, they will be uninsured, which is clearly a risk to everyone else.
I attempted to play it on Xbox (was a free game at one point) but controllers are not really ideal with these types of strategy/city building genres. I may attempt to play it on PC at some point as the idea of the game sounds interesting...
Ruby and Node are, for the most part, not playing in the same field than Rust. I have absolutely no problem seeing them living along each others for decades.
> You can even get a permit to carry a concealed weapon in NYC

Ok, I’ll do it for you. Rural crime in USA is 2.0 - 3.5 / 100k in USA depending on region. Where all the guns are, the shootings aren’t.

NYC... for example... SHALL ISSUE state, you’re effectively wrong. Only the connected and elite can get carry permits in NYC. That’ll change soon with the latest SC case coming up.

You’re right, it’s not “the same” gun control. Like Paris where guns for private ownership and stored in your home are effectively banned, yet, worse mass shootings than any in the US ever. Or Norway where black rifles are banned, but worse mass shooting of kids than any in the US.

You’re right, it’s not the same - but what we can look at is IN THE USA, the places with the most gun control have the most shootings, in inconvenient fact.

Ok, so... by your argument. It’s the people carrying legally in the US that are going around shooting people?

And I believe I proposed the question of why size AND population aren’t compared ever? I think it’s because when you compare Russia or Mexico or Brazil to US, with much stricter the gun control the argument falls apart. You need to pick small population and or small isolated homogeneous populations to make your argument - if you think that’s legitimate keep at it.
Thanks for correcting me! (upvote -- not like you need them but I appreciate all your hard work!)

I think it's worth mentioning that not all years and all people are equal.

For example this is the author speaking at ReactEurope over a year ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z2d9rw9RwyE

I would argue he's probably more "senior" then a lot of people with twice the "years" he has.
SEEKING WORK | Austin TX or NYC | full-time

I'm a junior engineer with 1.3yrs of professional experience at a stealth startup and 8mo. at Amazon after my team was scraped. This has been tough but a nice break to work on a password manager from scratch (using a Yubi HSM) and some security research.

I have deep experience writing go micro-services, rapid prototyping in python and building reactive frontends in Vue and React. I also enjoy writing personal projects using Phoenix and Elixir.

Most recently I've been working on a real-time bidding site for exotic plants during my time between work.

Willing to relocate: YES (prefer east coast or Austin TX)

> It does not mean that usage is monitored, and usage is the important privacy aspect.

I think one would have to be especially naive to believe that an ID requirement is in place without any provision for usage monitoring.
Amazing how you got downvotes for that. I was just thinking why some people reacted so aggressively towards the guy filming. And tbh he behaves really annoyingly. If he really wanted to teach people a lesson about constant surveillance this certainly doesn't play in his favour.

But I think it also has to do with the fact that at least with him people actually have someone to be mad about. As opposed to their usual mode of surveillance where they are being filmed by a 'security' camera (hey, it's security people! nevermind if it doesn't actually make anything any safer) operated and owned probably by their boss or someone who they are not on equal grounds with.

It makes me kind of sad.
In Morocco at least they do ask for your passport if you want free or discounted cell service, but you can always go to a corner store and just get a Sim card from there.
Apologies, updated.
> If housing in the bay area goes down in price, you get people moving in from New York, LA, Boston, Austin

Yes, and the other direction too, if NYC dropped hugely in price probably a lot of people would move from SF. If a city manages to solve its housing problem in some enormous way some of the benefit would go to other cities.

The reverse is true too, SF building nowhere near enough will cause people to move away and drive up housing prices in other places like Austin. This sounds more like the reality today.

It's a real effect, but it seems like the best action for people who need housing is still to build more.

The main thing is does luxury housing act like a totally separate market. For example, if no affordable luxury 2bd apartments are available, will a software engineer move to Boston from SF instead of settling for an ordinary 2bd apartment. I'd expect the majority of the time high-income people who can't afford luxury apartments simply displace middle-income people in ordinary apartments rather than move cities, but I don't have hard data on it.
LeanTaaS | Software Engineer, Data Scientist, DevOps Engineer, QA Engineer, Product Manager, Product Designer, Data Analyst | Charlotte, NC OR Santa Clara, CA | Onsite | Fulltime

We're hiring backend Python and Java developers, frontend Angular developers, QA engineers, data scientists, data engineers, product managers, engineering managers and more. Job openings can be filled in Santa Clara or Charlotte, NC.

https://hire.withgoogle.com/public/jobs/leantaascom

Everyone complains that our healthcare system is inefficient and costly. If the idea of working with smart people to actually solve the problem and make it significantly better for our future generations seems worth your time, reach out to me directly at hireme@leantaas.com and I'll put you in touch with the right hiring manager.

We're a Series C funded healthcare tech company based in Silicon Valley obsessed about making our hospitals more efficient with data science and machine learning. 65+ healthcare organizations including the likes of Stanford, Duke, NYP, Dignity, Memorial Sloan Kettering, Tenet and more rely on our products to lower patient wait times, improve staff satisfaction and overall financial performance.

Our team includes successful entrepreneurs, engineers, product managers and data scientists from Google, LinkedIn, Apple, Symantec MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Google, McKinsey, and more. We've raised $55 million to date from top tier VCs in Silicon Valley. CBInsights recently named us among the top 100 AI companies in the world.

On the data engineering side, our stack is Airflow/Python. On the web services side, our stack is Java/Play and Angular 2/Typescript. There's also Python/Flask products. We're fully cloud hosted on AWS and leverage modern tooling and automation to produce high quality code - and we ship every week!

Our vision is to build an "Air Traffic Control" for hospitals - a centralized command and control center that routes the right information to the right department as patients flow through the system - if we get that right, we'll be able to significantly make our hospitals more efficient and eliminate waiting and wastage and solve the problem once and for all.
China has been requiring IDs to buy SIM card for at least 20 years.

Chinese also already have ID cards, 'hukou' (a sort of domestic passport), etc. so I would imagine that the government already has everyone's face on record.

Thus, this seems about enforcing the requirement to provide ID when buying a SIM, because enforcement of rules can be problematic in China.

Which reminds me...

They are (obviously?) having problems collecting sales tax. So at one point they are issuing formal receipts as vouchers that eg. restaurants had to buy form the tax office. A sort of advance payment. When a customer asked for a receipt the restaurant gave them a number of these vouchers.

The smart idea is that they had turned these vouchers into scratch cards to encourage people to request a receipt...
As a child, it is exactly prison, it's not 'like' prison. You are controlled in location, action, and speech. You are told when to use the restroom, when to eat. Feeling sleepy today or maybe not getting along with an obnoxious inmate? Too bad for you, you're powerless.

I personally believe most school violence is induced by the prison-like nature of schools. They are inmate riots of 1.
The most important part:

> The rules Mr Richards gave for apostrophes are: They are used to denote a missing letter or letters, they are used to denote possession and apostrophes are never ever used to denote plurals.
This looks interesting.

Comparing it to something like Adobe Experience Manager/CQ, I wonder if it has mobile editing modes and if any large enterprises outside of their customer logos section are using it.
I understand why universities would get the benefit of the doubt, but I am not sure having search engines be a government service would be a very good idea.
It's a fantasy Americans seem to uniquely believe in that arming the populace is a good deterrent against bad government policy.

If it actually worked, one would expect the US to be two separate nations now. After all, what was the Civil War if not a mass of Americans deciding extra-legally that the laws should not apply to them and taking up arms to break free of government oppression and form a government more inclined to protect their freedoms?

And yet, after a bloody conflict that claimed more American lives than World War II, the country is still one nation and Americans still cling to a strange belief that private gun ownership protects against tyranny (as if a tyrant wouldn't bring their own guns to bear against the citizenry, like Sherman burning towns south of the Mason-Dixon to hamstring the morale of the rebels).
> If you're concerned with privacy, that's what encrypted communications are for, and if you don't want to be tracked by radio, then don't take any phone with you.

Then people like my mom get tracked and people like my nerdy friends don't. When one thinks of policy and consequence surely one doesn't simply say "well she exercised her agency, so that's that."
