Without very careful contest design, the best performers are obviously going to be over-fitting. Especially if the entire distribution is public. That's exactly what this team did.

This is true of academic contests in general, btw, even without cheating. They stop being interesting/fun/good signals as soon as people start treating them as an independent skill set. Comparing performance on chess games for the first N games between two new players might be a good signal for some general intellectual capabilities. Comparing experienced players against one another is mostly just testing who's spent more time learning about chess.
Which was also ruled unconstitutional. And probably still wouldn't fix the Sierra Club documentary issue.
In Juvenal's context the question is rhetorical. An unfaithful partner will sleep with the people you set to watch over them, duh. But in the context where we use this phrase today the best answer is a full circle. Watching us, watching them, watching you.

This 10x when driving in Brooklyn(or similar big city). I used to think smaller would be less stressful but since I got rid of my truck and have been renting small zipcars its much harder to see around SUVs and delivery trucks. Its harder not only to predict the flow of traffic but also to see pedestrians or cyclists who may be obstructed from your vision. I’ve always been a car person but thinking my next one will be an SUV to compete in this stupid arms race.

Using only a Raspberry Pi, we may debug the firmware on PineTime Smart Watch: Step into the flashed program line by line, set a breakpoint to pause execution at a line, inspect variables at runtime, … Just like the Embedded Pros!

It’s a great way to learn how real IoT products are created… At a fraction of the cost of professional embedded tools and workstations!

Here are the steps to configure a Raspberry Pi (1, 2, 3 or 4, with 1 GB RAM or more) for debugging the Rust+Mynewt Firmware for PineTime…

Elementary shchool teachers use it all the time. Just some stickers and a leaderboard in the classroom and it works wonders for behavior and achievement.
I'm a philosophy grad student who is currently doing some data science classes. First, I think the connection might've been clearer if you had taken an intro ethics or political philosophy class. For instance, the free speech class for undergrads in my university has a session on issues like net neutrality and whether free speech on platforms like facebook should be limited.

And second, as someone else below mentioned, a lot of the more general and theoretical things you might pick up on humanities classes can be used as a lens to think about tech-related issues, even if the professor or readings haven't actually explicitly done that. (In fact, if none of the readings have done that, trying to do that might make for a good final paper --- it's something that's at least worth talking to the instructor about.)
It seems to be a common thing for people who didn't get a decent education in maths and science to decry the teaching of maths and science.

No chance. HN’s goal is to have every effective programmer in the world checking it at least once a week. Anything that gets in the way of that is de facto bad.

I hope you are right. I think nuclear power is probably the best thing that can be adopted. The new build costs are astronomical compared to natgas though and I’m not entirely sure why. We’re talking almost an order of magnitude the last time I looked - 1200/kw for gas vs 8000/kw for nuke. Gas costs have come down dramatically over the years while nuclear costs have increased. I hope this trend can reverse. Don’t know anything about the sealed reactor that you’re discussing though.

What do you mean reducing car volume? You asymptotically approach "bus" the more people you put in a vehicle. Turning one bus that holds ~50 people into 12 smaller buses that each hold 4 people doesn't solve anything as far as I can see.

Re: electric, this is a good step but we still produce most of our electricity (by far) by burning fossil fuels. Plus we lose energy in transmission/storage so it's a net loss.

I've always been confused by this -- if you're allergic to dogs, and the flight is required to have a dog on it for whatever reason, is the airline then liable for any and all medical bills related to an allergic reaction after the flight? Are you not entitled to reasonable accommodation as well?

> The difference is that back then, it was to transport the animal from one side of the country to the other safely, so the animal stayed in its container under the sea

Many, if not most, of these folk just have larger dogs that don't qualify for under-seat.

I drove my golden retriever across the country on three occasions (~130 hours of driving all told?). I wish there were a reasonable and ethical flight option, but I would never trust an animal to cargo.
Hi Evera, I’m curious about my medical privacy. How can you guarantee that through this service? Additionally, how do you plan on generating revenue? Through what kind of business model?

I think the "liberal" in "liberal arts" is throwing you off :-P.

Math, stats, and logic is very much part of a liberal arts education.[1] So are life and natural sciences, philosophy, history, geography, and political science. I would imagine learning all of these would make you a better informed citizen.

They used WebKit for rendering and that cut down some of IE's 10+ year lead.

Also, I think they had a fairly good test infrastructure from the beginning ( I think they tested new versions of Chrome against Google's index of top million websites ). Good test infrastructure can give you compounded returns as the project goes on.

I'm not opposed to service animals in any way, but this is purely a money grab:

> Spirit Airlines Inc told regulators it lost “millions of dollars in pet carriage fees from passengers fraudulently claiming their ‘house pets are service or support animals.’”

They just want the pet fee to let an animal in a carrier replace the normal underseat luggage.

I'm not sure what the fee is for Spirit Airlines, but for United Airlines it is $125 each direction.
Wouldn’t it be smarter to use the hidden data as training data rather than hard code it in?

San Francisco's problems have rippled out to places like Boise, ID and Reno, NV.

https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/20/business/economy/reno-gro...

Both of these cities (and metros) are low density (1,049.64 people per sq. km). They're filled with complaints about traffic and growth.

NIMBYs don't want to build up. In Boise, condos are almost exclusively limited to 6 stories, max. Three quarters of downtown is parking lots or roads.

Folks from outer burbs (Meridian and Eagle) don't want to lose parking, and transit is terrible. A bus runs the 5km between Downtown Boise and the airport every 40 minutes.

I think the housing crisis is uniquely painful in the States because of the weird confluence between investing and culture around urban cores, inner burbs, and outer burbs.
Equally anecdotal, but I am in tech and have a liberal arts degree, and have a coworker who is the same. I also know a few others. In most cases these are people who found the job market rough with a BA (or MA), and fell in love with tech.

Some universities deal with this demand by offering a "Certificate" or something equivalent in tech for students so that they can learn the fundamentals even though they're from a liberal arts (or other background, but have a degree). Even going back like 50 years, my father studied liberal arts but was offered an opportunity to do an advanced degree in computer science, provided he completed core courses (in additions to the ones he'd already done).

I suppose my point is that this may not be as rare as it seems, and is increasingly common as a BA becomes a dime a dozen (although not intrinsically valueless) and the growth in tech jobs continues (for now).
Trajetalacarte – Free carpooling at home for work
I've had the same experience with me basically tossing in the towel with DDG because my need for efficiency outweighed my need for privacy. It seems like Google is systemically showing more crap in advertisements, making it harder to distinguish between ads and genuine search results, and their advantage is dwindling. That and it's just annoying to be sending information to Google as a default from a privacy point of view.

Maybe I should give Bing another go?
I noticed this more and more, people are starting to become unable to understand that others have a different subjective experience of the world that is just as valid.
Firefox has been my main browser for about 15 years. Never saw the advantage in Chrome, aside from using it once in a while when a webpage didn't work correctly on Firefox. These latest years we are seeing very aggressive behaviour from Chrome (reducing effectiveness of ad blocking, for example) and that just reinforces my decision.
IME, in large community servers (usually info dumps or LFG platforms like the video in the article) I almost never see it used. But in my smaller friend-focused Discord servers, there's always someone in the voice channels.

I think the greatest thing Discord did for gaming communities was make it so easy to get people together in a voice channel that everyone stopped using Skype. I tried for years to move people to Mumble/Vent/TS but it never stuck. But Discord managed to do it. I'd say voice is still the main feature that draws me and friends to the platform.

I used to fly with my dog occasionally, and I followed all the rules:
1) Required to bring a recent veterinary certificate of health
2) Pay $75-125 to bring the animal on.
3) Demonstrate the animal weighs less then 20 lbs.
4) Demonstrate the animal can fit in a soft sided crate that fits underneath an aircraft seat
5) give up having a personal item
6) keep the animal crated underneath the seat in front of you.

My dog never did his business on a flight (we never flew more than 6h and he was used to staying home way longer then that), but I had baggies ready to go.
tldr didn't choose tar as their front-page demo by accident. The tar manpage is a classic example of the CLI gods apparently going to some effort to design the Examples section to effectively tell new users to bugger the hell off.
Sure you can, Brian, but those things aren't relevant to a simple line of business app like that. And I agree that it shouldn't be in the cloud; it should be on a Raspberry Pi in the back room of the restaurant, next to the Wi-Fi. Or, well, a Chinese clone, since you wouldn't want an Iranian restaurant to be dependent on imports from England.

If that was what people expected the new operators to do, people wouldn't be upset and feel like they are losing the treasured .org.

People do not expect the new owners will operate the domain correctly, meaning ensure that the TLD remains available at reasonable prices and conditions to the current types of users.
Winners have to submit code most of the times. There are sporadic computer vision competitions where it is possible to hand-label (such as geo-int competitions where people reverse engineered the flight paths), but vast majority it is impossible to hand-label. Nobody becomes a grandmaster without applying world-class machine learning skills.

The "cheater" in this competition is both a world-class data scientist and a reverse engineering hacker. Heck, people used to write papers about how they crawled the ground truth. Now they see their name in the newspaper.
It confused me a bit on initial reading because a non-traveller in Seattle would have to have caught it there.
That's a lot of assumptions tho.

My experience with online dating has been the same, however mostly it's; match with a person, exchange a few words, exchange numbers, move on to WhatsApp. Yes, I do need to go back, but the middleman is almost always cut out instantly.

That said, my experience with finding a housekeeper has been the opposite of yours. I've had 4 different ones, and I ended up hiring none of them. This is not necessarily due to their professional skills, but mostly due to availability and trust. Just like finding a romantic partner. It's easier, but definitely not like you described for me. Hence why I saw them both as the same thing.
Seems pretty straightforward to me.

Everyone is willing to abuse the system to an extent for personal gain (some more than others). Many systems provide special exceptions for emotional needs. It's a social taboo to question someone's assessment of their own emotional needs. Naturally, this means many people fake or exaggerate their emotional needs to get what they want.

This isn't a new phenominon. The increased awareness of emotional health issues just means we keep seeing more systems implementing those exceptions.

Hardening systems against exploitation is difficult and at some point not cost effective.

My dude, if you want to censor people, or get corporations to do it for you—knock yourself out. Some random HN commenter isn't going to change your mind, or stop you.

It seems weird that you would use an age group of 8-22. Afaik both sexes brains continue to develop into the late 20s, so to extrapolate the aforementioned age group to the entirety of humanity seems premature. This limitation isn't directly addressed in the article.
It is entirely possible that what you are suggesting is the beginning of an answer to the problem. But it is not immediately obvious to me that our current social structures will support an economy based on people inventing good jokes. I think that will take some kind of radical change, and thinking about what shape that kind of radical change might take is exactly what I'm hoping to encourage people to start doing. So kudos to you for thinking along these lines, but I don't think that actually solving the problem will be quite as simple as writing a good one-liner.

Nothing would make me happier than to be proven wrong about this.
I think this is wrong in terms of new build cost. Especially if you take away subsidies. As far as I know, local factors aside, wind gen costs around 1500/kw without storage. Solar is similar, and gas is around 1000-1200 for a combined cycle and 800 for a simple ct (which would likely be a peaker). If I am remembering correctly, Duke energy recently completed a combined cycle plant that came in significantly under cost - around 900/kw.

If you add utility scale batteries, you’re looking at much more for renewable. I’m not sure what type of storage you have in mind though. Add to that, the capacity factors are very high for gas, while notably low for renewable. This impacts payback severely and I’m not even sure if you can sell capacity against a renewable plant - I may be wrong here.

What type of renewable are you talking about and what type of storage? Also what are the new build costs you are referencing? Or are you simply saying that a utility scale battery costs less than building a peaker?
What is this patronizing take. Wuhan is not some backward 1700s farmers market with maidens carrying pales of milk around on their shoulders. It's a fully developed bustling city.

To ensure the confidentiality and privacy of your data and sample, we separate your personally identifiable information from sample information and simultaneously use multiple layers of encryption and cryptography. Your sample and associated data cannot be associated with you individually. Furthermore, our facility is monitored 24/7 with top of the line security measures. We believe that your sample is your property! We're working with one of the nation's most renowned biobanks that actually handles some of the NIH's samples as well!

In terms of revenue, the thing that sets us apart from companies like 23andMe or AncestryDNA is that we actually generate money through a D2C approach instead of having to rely on contracts from big pharma. Users pay an initial sample collection fee of 299 and then a yearly banking fee of 99. Notice that this is much less than traditional cord blood banks.
.io is an interesting example - because it is quite expensive yearly, poorer techies avoid it.

So anyone who thinks .io is as good as .org is probably not price sensitive, and might be contributing to the worry that .org will go the same way eventually.

.ai is even more expensive, but I haven't noticed .ai domains being used for things I visited, only heard that they are used.
