That HRs read CVs in formats as they were submitted isn't universal. Most CVs go through parsers and presented in a standardized format. I have not seen good PDF parser and that means what they read is with noise, biased against a good outcome for the candidate.

The industry could simply standardize a JSON structure and ask candidates to submit in such a format.

and that people with bachelors degree cannot teach themselves how to write simple JSON structure is laughable.
Thank you for pointing it out, for some reason I thought that Vimeo was significantly more recent.

This is like having a weighted coin that comes up heads with probability 2⋅10⁻⁶, flipping it 311 million times, and seeing 0 heads. That's astronomically unlikely.

To see this, observe that the number of heads follows a binomial distribution with n = 311 million and p = 2⋅10⁻⁶. This can be well approximated¹ by a normal distribution with mean μ = np = 622 and standard deviation σ = Sqrt[np(1 - p)] = 25.

99.7% of the time², when you sample from this distribution, the sampled value will be within 3 standard deviations of the mean, i.e., between μ - 3σ = 547 and μ + 3σ = 697. Results further from the mean are more unlikely. For example, seeing a value more than 7 standard deviations from the mean (i.e., less than 447 or more than 797) is about a 1 in 2 trillion event³. Since 0 is about 25 standard deviations from the mean, the probability of seeing 0 heads is on the order of 10⁻¹³⁸.

Do you create music independently? Have you tried to distribute it? If not, from where is your expertise? If so, maybe your music isn't that good? That's the responsibility that I take.

I have just over 8,000 listens on Soundcloud. I have good reason to believe that the great majority of those are real. It's quite satisfying. My hobby has perhaps connected with some people, in the magical way that music does. If I were better at it, it wouldn't just be a hobby. :)
I also found Sirius frustrating in the same manner. Except for me, it was my daily commute. I could set the clock by the playlist. I only listened to 2 channels and for some reason, the traffic updates to my car stopped working. When they wanted something like $400 to renew for 1 year, I said fuck off.
Those pesky local electorates. Always stopping progress.

I don't hate that someone is investing in tools & research in this.

I'd certainly pay a 20% premium on my hardware for verifiable protection from phone-home. I'd probably pay that premium for the manufacturer to claim that the device doesn't phone home.

Obv different situation for infrastructure hardware where the end-user (me) isn't the same as the buyer (german telecoms, apparently). But I suspect some of the verification / testing tools will be similar.

I'm happy these topics are getting press, whoever the players are.
This is where the false urbanism comes in. Chicago for examples is in many ways a network of these islands. However they collide with each other giving a nice network effect. Its far from a perfect example, I feel its still rather sparse in design as to accommodate cars but there is less parking in general.

This plot as a designed urban center is very much like one of these islands but without adjacent neighborhoods to fill in any local gaps.

They have consistently been successful at what you could call JFK-less varieties of exploration, where nobody gets to be the JFK and make a big speech about Mars human landings and decree a project that will get their name in the history books.

Every JFK-project they have been saddled with, after the original, fizzled. This is because each incoming administration (without regard to party) wants to be the JFK. They don't want to deliver what the previous man hyped. Tear it up, back to the drawing board.

Where it's an unassuming team of scientists plugging away making lander robots or what have you, they can do that.
Is it in Orlando?

If so, that actually looks like a pretty nice area! Judging by what I saw on the map, that would be a nice place to live.

If one looks at the map, you see multiple parks surrounding the area, an elementary and middle school that appears to be walkable, a sizeable grocery store, and a lake to walk around. While it looks to have a lot of streets still throughout, it looks to be much more than just an outdoor mall.
Mostly techies use JSON (for good reason) and its not that hard for others to catch up with it. Does it take 5-10mins? It's not C programming bruh.
The problem is that the actuarily "fair" price of these loans is very high because the risk of non-repayment is very high.
If 25% of people don't pay back a loan, then you need an interest rate of at least 33% on the 75% who do pay you back in order to break even.

The only solutions are (a) to try to do a better job of identifying who will/won't pay you back or (b) to do more to make sure that people do pay you back.

(a) has the disadvantage that you aren't able to help a lot of people who most need the help. (b) can easily become exploitative as you increase the pressure on people who are at risk of defaulting on their loans.

> I'd be interested to know how you would handle a baby sitter (who was very nice before) not showing up and not returning your texts/calls when you have a child and you need to go to a business meeting or to theatre for example.

Presumably the same way I'd handle a babysitter who called me ten minutes before they're supposed to show up saying they got in a car accident.

Actually, probably differently - I can't meaningfully control car accidents but I can pay my babysitter more / figure out what they need to be happier.
Why? You don't understand what it is, so we must pick one from your false dichotomy? This dismissive and derogatory attitude of "if it's not Nobel Prize level, it's bullshit" is one of the root problems with regards to public perception of science: when some people don't have a clue about the science, they turn to "pageant" committees to tell them what is good science, and from there extrapolate that everything else should be "bullshit" (and it's funny to remember that special/general relativity is "bullshit" by your "measure" as it never got Nobel either, which is mostly a "politically" cherry-picked prize). There's a lot of good scientific progress which don't have the blessing of some fancy authority committee, and you can't simply label them as total bullshit just when you don't even understand the importance of their work (and nonetheless astonishingly call it "just a capacitor with delusions of grandeur").

Anyway, it's neither. It's the experimental demonstration of an incremental improvement in silicon quantum dots. The idea is basically that instead of loading a single electron to a quantum dot and using its spin as the qubit, loading more electrons can actually lead to better coherence times (=higher fidelities) due to an increased resilience to charge noise (one of the most significant source of errors in these devices), and one can still use the spin of an "outer shell" (in analogy with atoms) as qubit.
These HR test firms should form a standards body so that you can test anywhere and use results at all jobs. Then they could start offering training for the tests, and certifications that you can put on your resume.

I think this idea has legs, to a degree.
Perhaps you're right, I've not used any driver assist before so I'm not speaking from experience.

Second-guessing the system while driving just does not sound like something I'd want to deal with (as someone pointed out above [0]).

So, why is this not promoted by companies?
The conclusion of the article is that there needs to be less parking altogether, not just fewer surface parking lots. Livable places prioritize people, not cars.
Absolutely!! Resumes are something everyone has to deal with but I am surprised there is no standardization.

Are we expected to be creative at resume template? I don't think candidates who are really applying for jobs care about it.
I live in one of the major metro areas of Florida, and even here public transport is abysmal. We have a single train line that goes north south about 30-50 miles. And a few buses that basically ferry the homeless around all day while they sleep on it.

I used to love using array.reduce when I was first learning JavaScript, but over the years, my opinion has firmly shifted to Jake Archibald’s:

“All code using array.reduce should be rewritten without array.reduce so it's readable by humans.

Ok ok, fair enough, there are cases where array.reduce is the best thing to use.

Specifically, cases where you want to look really smart and don't care about readability.”

Let's encrypt support for S/MIME would be great.

While seeing great progress in securing the web via HTTPS email still lacks fundamental security. While I would love to see a functioning PGP or other decentralized setup, network effects are a strong force and it's still to much hassle for non-technical people.
Free S/MIME would help me to distribute secure e-Mail setup for friends & family.

I think an important difference is that physical models usually have a pretty good idea of what details they are ignoring, and thus some quantifiable idea of the amount of error they may introduce.

Meanwhile, sociological models don't really have any idea of how much relevant detail they are ignoring, meaning that it is far more likely than in physics that the model is simply not useful, equivalent to saying that may make unfounded assumptions (like trying to use a spherical frictionless cow model to compute what kind of cow shoes work best).

Yes, automated systems will also do unpredictable things - the point I was (poorly, as it were) trying to make was that the mix of autopilots and humans are likely to create new problems; without being able to dig it out now, I remember a study which found that humans had problems interacting with autonomous vehicles as the latter never fudged their way through traffic like a human would - say, approaching a traffic light, noting it turned yellow - then coming to a hard stop, whereas a human driver would likely just scoot through the intersection on yellow. Result - autonomous vehicles got rear-ended much more frequently than normal ones.

So - humans need to adapt to new behaviour from other vehicles on the road.

When ALL vehicles are L5, though, they (hopefully) will all obey the same rules and be able to communicate intent and negotiate who goes where when /prior/ to occupying the same space at the same time...
When I was a child I used to trade Magic the Gathering cards with other people. I can assure you that the coincidence of wants is not a myth.
Look close - that form factor doesn't leave any place for transit to run. Most things would be a long way from any stop/station. The density would support a line every 2000 meters with stops 800 meters apart I(exact numbers can be argued, range is right). That puts almost nothing near the stop/station so there won't be a transit in there.
Same metric applies - lighter is better.

It's because we usually dont multiply percentages, but instead work with normal decimal figures.
This is a real shame. I used both the Blackberry/TCL KeyOne and Key2 LE phones and aside from a bunch of preloaded crapware they were terrific. Somewhat surprisingly they even did a good job of pushing monthly security updates, although we've been stuck on Android 8.1.
So by analogy, autonomous driving will work very well if we can capture all the roads as they're being built?

Do you mean UK or England? I'd like to hope Scotland remains a welcoming environment. And it has lots of opportunities for tech folks, certainly in the "central belt" Glasgow and Edinburgh. Check out the jobserve.co.uk website and search for stuff in either city if you're curious about skills in demand and salaries available. Scotland remains a very affordable place to live btw.

But yes we sadly do remain (for now) somewhat tied to whatever ill-advised schemes Westminster decides to inflict.

https://www.tesla.com/VehicleSafetyReport

"In the 4th quarter, we registered one accident for every 3.07 million miles driven in which drivers had Autopilot engaged. For those driving without Autopilot but with our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 2.10 million miles driven. For those driving without Autopilot and without our active safety features, we registered one accident for every 1.64 million miles driven. By comparison, NHTSA’s most recent data shows that in the United States there is an automobile crash every 479,000 miles."

Yes, people disengage auto-pilot (or it does so itself), but it is at least plausible to say that in this like-for-like comparison of drivers and vehicles self-driving is at least comparable in safety.

Ask HN: How do you keep track of your concurrent website diffs?
I was wondering how people working in a particular domain monitor and keep track of their concurrent websites.

Here are the features I was thinking about:

* Regular crawl a selection of base URLs when something has changed

* Make screenshots of all pages

* Keep a git-diff of each changes

* Web interface to browse all the changes

* Self-hosted

Any input would be greatly appreciated.

No. But I regard my biggest threat as my own government, and if my choice per the GPs hypothetical is “less information to my government and some information to a foreign power” or “all collected data to my government and none to a foreign power”, the first choice is best for me.

Now, it may be fair to argue that the information collected from a 5G radio doesn’t mean much at all to my government. But I’d still rather depend on defense in depth.

It is a trade off though. I’m sure “911” is no accident either. Because it is slightly harder to dial, it probably has far less accidental dialings than some other countries emergency numbers.

I bet little kids would constantly pick up a phone and dial “999999999”.... harder to mistakenly / playfully dial “911”

The absence of any cases is strong evidence against the null hypothesis that the both are independent (assuming the combination isn't just much harder to diagnose), but it isn't strong evidence for it being impossible. Just because something hasn't happened doesn't allow you to distinguish between it being impossible and it being very unlikely (of course the other way around does work, then this is strong evidence that it is possible).

We could have achieved "self driving" in a sense, even back in the 80s, if we had the will to spend billions (maybe over a trillion) on putting monorail power line tracks on roads, having designed electric cars that latch onto them, and have a national traffic control system that controls/drives them. The traffic control system would have perfect knowledge of where every car is, and could direct traffic in a highly optimal manner from point A to point B for each vehicle. The vehicle's themselves would have systems in place that prevent collision (similar to the system that NYC subway has). Altogether, it could have been achieved, but would have required an unprecedented level of public spending.
