> You do know that the current government has done the most out of the past governments for the poor and muslims, right?

You mean to say 60yrs of governance that came before did less than what the current government has done in 6yrs? That's quite a claim and the onus of its proof, I'm afraid, is rightly on your shoulders. And no, just a single example each of Ayushman Bharat and Triple Talak doesn't count. I demand more: extraordinary claims require extraordinary proof. You'd probably have to write a book (or rewrite books).

> There is no compulsion that CAA has to be followed by the NRC.

That's not what the ruling party has said. The Home Minister is on-record that NRC would follow CAA and promised to implement it by 2024 [0] to drive-out illegal immigrants, for some convenient definition of an illegal immigrant as defined by the CAA, which is just limited to the Muslims. Make what you will of that.

I think what GP means is that the employer gives X to current employees, but makes false posts on this website, that claims there are employees that make 0.7X. Then when you interview with the employer, they offer you X, and you think you are being offered 30% more than your future co-workers, so you happily take the job.
I just read about Newcomb's problem due to your comment. Maybe I'm being stupid but I don't think there's any paradox. Let's change it so that the first box contains only a tiiiiiny little speck of gold and nothing else, and you'll see.

For this demonstration, you get to play repeatedly.

Let's make you too smart for your own good. You start off with the strategy I think is stupid and wrong. So: each time you play, you select both boxes on the (stupid, wrong) theory that selecting both strictly dominates selecting just one. Of course, each time, there's nothing in the second box because your choice has been predicted.

After playing several hundred times and amassing a tiny little mound of gold flakes you think about whether you even know any shops where you can convert it, and you didn't even bring a zip lock bag with you, what are you going to do, go home with golddust in your pockets? You think about the hours of time that you've spent. Finally you wisen up and say fuck it, this time time I'll just select the one box.

Since your choice has been predicted, you finally get the million dollars, and you realize you were pretty dumb for wasting several hours on a few specks of gold.

You keep playing, selecting just the one box, and keep getting a million dollars each time. After you have more cash than you can drive home, you thank God for all your cash and go home.

This proves that the choice is simple and there is no paradox or contradiction. With my approach, do you see any paradox?

Don't containers only use one process?

Whatever the livereload tool is (in this case it was a webpack watcher on osx), the problem is that a change on the host isn't forwarded to the guest correctly when using shared folders, so the socket server doesn't send the update notification to the browser. :/

You have three options to work around this :
- use a polling based approach
- use a plugin like https://github.com/adrienkohlbecker/vagrant-fsnotify which internally uses `touch` (this is the one i used to choose)
- use an ssh mount (not sure about this one, it's been a long time)

All of these workarounds have their downsides, so I'm wondering if someone has another great approach to get a stack up and running when you have a lot of dependencies (not speaking about packages, but different sub-projects)

Don't follow this blog post advice.

Manually dealing with threads and processes is useful if you want to build a framework or a very complex workflow. But chances are you just want to run stuff concurrently, in the background.

In that case (which is most people case), you really want to use one of the stdlib pools: it takes care of sync, serialization, communication with queues, worker life cycle, task distribution, etc. for you.

Plus in such case, waiting for results is super easy:

import time
import random

from concurrent.futures import ThreadPoolExecutor, as_completed

# the work to distribute
def hello():
seconds = random.randint(0, 5)
print(f'Hi {seconds}s')
time.sleep(seconds)
print(f'Bye {seconds}s')
return seconds

# max concurrency is 2
executor = ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=2)

# submit the work
a = executor.submit(hello)
b = executor.submit(hello)

# and here we wait for results
for future in as_completed((a, b)):
print(future.result())

Want multiple process instead ? It's the same API:

import time
import random

from concurrent.futures import ProcessPoolExecutor, as_completed

def hello():
seconds = random.randint(0, 5)
print(f'Hi {seconds}s')
time.sleep(seconds)
print(f'Bye {seconds}s')
return seconds

# Don't forget this for processes, or you'll get in trouble
if __name__ == "__main__":

executor = ProcessPoolExecutor(max_workers=2)

a = executor.submit(hello)
b = executor.submit(hello)

for future in as_completed((a, b)):
print(future.result())

This is Python. Don't make your life harder that it needs to be.

Though 'price setting' is a differentiating aspect of these two companies - it's not hugely material in the determination that 'one is tech one is not'.

Nobody in the world would have been thinking in these terms. There's no chance Uber/AirBnB lawyers were sitting around thinking 'well, if we cross that threshold, we might be considered a taxi service'.

If the laws are remotely clear, or subject to even soft interpretation, it'd be possible to at least predict outcomes - but in this case, as with many others - they are totally making it up as they go along.

This is a bad ruling, and it probably should not be 'determined' by the EU courts at all - rather, the EU should 'make up their minds' and clarify as objectively as they can.

AirBnB is absolutely a hotel company and Uber is absolutely a Taxi company - they just operate a little different than the classical ones and so they probably need some kind of thoughtful regulation.
> I just started a company myself in Spain. The amount of bureaucracy I had to go through was unbelievable. Furthermore, I have to pay over $300 a month in taxes

This is one of those things that continental Europe (as opposed to English law derived systems) handles very badly: compliance costs and scaling down. In the UK system you can start a company for almost nothing from a single webform, and if you're not trading much there's almost no fees.

There is an excellent book, "The Other Path", about bureaucracy reduction in South America as a path towards the rule of law, where by making it possible for people to come into "the system" there were beneficial effects on crime and even terrorism.

I suspect there would be a lot fewer anti-EU small businessmen if most of the EU commercial law had exemptions for "fewer than five employees and less than €100k turnover".

In all of this we need to keep the reasons close to the rules. "Regulation" and "freedom" can't be assessed without asking what's being regulated and what the impacts are on the regulated and the public, and whether the regulations are necessary and effective.

Depending on how wide the audience of the comment section is, there's no way you could determine what is a bot from what is a barely literate real person. If I go on Facebook, or onto the reply threads of the local newspaper, where I know the people personally, it's such disjointed ranting and jumbled nonsense that it really looks like it came out of a Markov generator. Probably the biggest tells for a real person would be the bizarre lack of attention to spelling and grammar and willy-nilly capitalization and punctuation - although if I got the same message as an email, it'd be an immediate spam flag.
Let's grant all that: What leads you to the conclusion that this is overregulation on part of the EU, and not underregulation by the US?

I can see no argument being made for the former, other than "well, it's tough to compete with a country that does not regulate as much".

Well yeah, certainly. But then that can of course be said about anything from environment laws to child labor.
Why would it not work? Some customers can set the option, choose the cheapest car within 10 min of me. Others can set the option, choose the highest rated car within 5 min of me. Or option of closest car for me. Or whatever other criteria they want. It is not going to be that difficult from a UX point of view.

I would probably pick the closest car option in the mornings, highest rated car when heading out for evening entertainment, and cheapest car when going on some long-distance errand.
In the case of StackOverflow, if you can’t explain an answer in your own words, then you don’t really know the answer and no one should rely on your links to a supposedly authoritative source.
Four obvious questions:

1. How is this different to Glassdoor?

2. How do you get enough data points to be useful?

3. How do you account for selection bias?

4., (and here's the big one) how do you account for the mistruths of self-reported income?

The last one is the big problem with all self-reported income summaries. One thing I've learned over the year is that people lie, even anonymously. I'm not even sure why. Do they really believe it? Are they posting it to make themselves feel good? I really don't know. But I do know that I don't believe your salary claim until I see a W2.

As for selection bias, this is a big one too. Take a company like Google. At level 7+ data point get pretty thin. This is partially because there aren't that many but the real problem is that these people really have no motivation to share. So you don't really see the big outliers.

Lastly, most of these aren't clear on what number they are report and what users should report. Is it base salary? What about bonus? What about RSUs/options?

As anyone who has worked in big tech knows, base salary number are almost completely useless. Salary band is defined by level (pretty tightly, in my experience). More than 50% of your total compensation will come from bonus and stock and stock in particular has massive variance.

I can’t really follow your argument. You can’t see people coming when there is more light? So in your mind visibility is worst in full daylight?
As far as I know, Glassdoor shows only averages and statistical distributions and doesn’t show separate salary entries. It doesn’t satisfy the questions and fears that I have set out to solve.

e.g., “Who should I look up to in my company to earn more?” or “How up-to-date are specific salary entries?”

My product doesn’t answer the first question just yet, but it will in the future via a peer-to-peer sharing feature that I’m planning in the next version.

> people that proposed this are now protesting against it.

Don't paint this as an opposition fueled protest. It is an anti-government protest by ordinary citizens who deeply care about secularism as espoused by the constitution. These would have happened then, as they have happened now.
I've also found that the "taboo" against discussing salaries is a very weak taboo. If you make the first move, and talk about your salary, many people will relax and reciprocate.

It's only a taboo to the extent that other people are vaguely worried that it might be. :-)
I think your entire setup is extremely risky, and should be reconsidered.
Sure it will, the site is so flaky you can just pass through whatever you like from the FE.

This isn't exactly bot sumissions, and the process is not really scalable:

> To quickly weed out inappropriate comments, I handpick from generated comments those that ensure a high coherence and high relevance sample for submission.

So basically it's a validation of GPT-2 making sense with small amounts of text. Judging from the demo test page, they are pretty good texts, but he said it himself that larger texts betray the bot. So, i m not sure what he's trying to prove by using MTurkers, since this does not attack the problem mentioned in his introduction: the fake FCC comments were weeded out through text analysis, not via human work.

In all, i'm not sure if this is something that people didn't know about gpt-2. The title is certainly not justified, perhaps "Curated bot comments can't be distinguished by humans to be obviously fake" would be better, but also more banal.
Easy enough: Write the glowing review, then contact Glassdoor and report your company. I'm fairly sure Glassdoor would then remove all the reviews.

The feedback mantra I follow as a manager is simple: "Feedback isn't about the past, it's about the future."

A lot of managers I know conflate feedback with critiques or praise, which are very different tools used for very different purposes.

Feedback in the interview process is invaluable, whereas critiques are unvaluable.

For example, here might be a piece of feedback that would help someone perform better in a future interview:

"During the debugging brainstorming work scenario, we liked that you brought ideas in many different parts of the architecture, but some of the best solutions we saw for this scenario indicated which options were most likely and grouped them by system or issue type."

That feedback is about performance and provides suggestions for improvement. In my experience, that's the type of feedback that's really well received and rarely debated.

It is just my point of view that there is overregulation in the EU and not under regulation in the US. There are arguments to be made on both sides. I am expressing my point of view and trying to provide reasonable arguments, understanding that you might disagree.

EU Advocate General: Serious Doubts over Privacy Shield
Predicting educational achievement from genomics and socioeconomic status
Love the idea. I wish functional coding was more mainstream.
Quote from article:

----

Practical Impact: More privacy for EU consumers, massive issues for certain US business. If the Court follows today’s opinion to have a “targeted approach”, there would be no impact on most EU data transfers. EU data protection authorities may however stop transfers to US companies that fall under FISA 702 (“electronic communication service providers”). This includes companies like Facebook, Google, Microsoft, Amazon Web Services or Yahoo.

Schrems: “Everyone will still be able to have all necessary data flows with the US, like sending emails or booking a hotel in the US. Some EU businesses may not be able to use certain US providers for outsourcing anymore, because US surveillance laws requires these companies to disclose data to the NSA. This is also an economic problem for the US, because foreign revenue will go elsewhere. It is really upon the United States to ensure baseline privacy protections for foreigners. Otherwise no one will trust US companies with their data.”

----

No end to US-EU data clash. The case itself cannot overcome the deeper clash of EU and US law. Schrems: “In the long term I hope that the US legislator will come to realize that no foreign customer will trust US industry, if there are no solid privacy protection in the US. You can’t say ‘trust us with all your data, but actually you have no rights’.” The US has similar concerns over Chinese 5G hardware from Huawei or apps like TikTok.

I share a similar view, that testing whether the examiner is lying is itself worthwhile. But while the analysis has several interpretations this question may pose the agency a small problem. They are answering a paid user and therefore have technically already opened box number 2. They cannot therefore lay claim to box 1, only dodge the question, lie, or accept their fate.
