Fair point about my misuse of words, :). "democratizing" was a poor word choice.

"Giving opportunity" would be more appropriate, and is the vocabulary Daniel Gross uses. He specifically mentions that he wants to find more female founders. I hope he succeeds; I am just a bit shocked by the state so far. It would be great to know what is causing this imbalance, whether it is its avenues of marketing, the messages it sends through marketing, or something else. Because there is a lot of diversity out there.

Sounds like you are concerned that it would be a move towards a direction that is less fair rather than one that is more. Asians/Harvard is unfair. I think the point is making sure opportunity is given fairly so that individuals can be evaluated based on merit.

> they cannot represent themselves in court

So a corporation can screw many people with legalese, pretending to be everyone's friend and no one gets blamed. It sounds like a convenient loophole to me.

What the fuck is the CEO for then? Its comical because most people treat corporations as the CEO. A vs B is very different from naming names.
Interviews Shouldn’t Completely Be Driven by the Interviewer
In his article he defends all of the choices he made for the COTI calculation. 100% of the premium is used because most people in 1980 paid for the whole thing themselves. I guess it raises the question that the institution of employer sponsorship allowed the costs to balloon, but that is a whole different discussion.
That's more "Explain like I'm five years into my PhD"
>I'm not following how having a machine do the work absolves the owner of responsibility. It seems like the same kind of "normal thing, but with a computer!" that folks in tech circles usually mock when it shows up on patent applications or when someone decides we need a new law to cover something that's already covered by existing laws, simply because now it's with a computer.

The fact that it's happening on a computer isn't the important part, and indeed if that were the only difference it would be a ridiculous argument. The important part is that the operator of the machine has never seen the content.

It's unreasonable to be liable for content you aren't aware of, and thankfully the status quo is still that you are not (outside of a few unfortunate cases). Effectively most of the internet couldn't exist if this protection were eliminated. Hacker News might not be able to exist. If you were liable for everything any user might possibly say, regardless of whether or not you notice it, would you run a discussion forum like this? A web host? A messaging app?

Once you're aware of e.g. illegal content, of course you should be liable.
> Surely you meant "5TB", not "5GB"?

I meant what I said. You can literally just setup a PG instance and it will work perfectly fine up to a few GB. At that point, you will probably start to see certain slow queries due to bad query plans. All you need to know are the basics of EXPLAIN ANALYZE, create a few indexes. That will get you to ~100GB at which point you will start to have to deploy more serious optimizations like partitioning, denormalization, etc. Once you get to multi-TB postgres instances, you will have to look at ways to horizontally scale your DB. This can be done in the Postgres world with something like Citus, but you would probably also want to look at non-Postgres based alternatives.
This needs much more visibility and attention.
Thank-you for posting this.
Lincoln was not an Abolitionist hero as popularly lionized, but a status quo "moderate,' reluctant to rock the boat. Even though he knew it to be wrong, he did nothing in the affirmative until Secession.

Lincoln's election triggered secession by the south. Maybe the Southerner's had a better sense of Lincoln's abolitionist credentials than you?

Secession started after Lincoln was elected, but before he took office, what actions could he have taken? His abolitionist rhetoric was enough to trigger a civil war. That's a pretty big boat rock.
For restructuring purposes.
Functional libraries in JS including the ones you mentioned add friction (syntax, dependencies etc.), performance issues and mental overhead. Clojure/Script is designed to be almost completely functional. The code you write is cleaner, more concise and performant almost by default. You also get one syntax to rule the whole web frontend system (js, css, html).

For me the reasons for not using it as a primary replacement are: I get dizzy from interop; it is much more convenient to embed Clojurescript into JS than the other way around. And secondly and more importantly I cannot use it in collaboration.
Seen the same working with hospital datasets. We only used them on site (office of third party provider, not the hospital) and anonymized them, but from what I now know about fingerprinting our anonymizations wasn't strong enough and it was also up to us to do, after we received the real data. We mostly did it because we had friends, family and possibly ourselves in some of the hospitals.

We were told it was ok and all the paperwork had been done (we had a somewhat legitimate need), but if that's the case the standards are far too loose and there are far too many copies of patient data around.

It was great for development though.

If you read the parent, its emphasis is on no conquering occurring. Obviously I made clear in the OP that I feel the corruption of the GOP was included in that. The justification that the McCains, Bushes and Romneys are more corrupt is available for anyone with a memory that extends beyond 2016, and there’s no need for you to emphasize your point that Trump is more corrupt. Your position is clear.

Classifying gender is easy. Humans do it correctly with near-perfect accuracy, typically failing only on edge cases. Furthermore, most cultures already bake in signaling of gender in various forms (Behavior, attire, etc).

Humans don't have much trouble, except against adversarial/outlier examples.
What Is “Distribution” in Open Source Licensing
Debuggers are not a replacement for REPLs. The magic of the repl is to be able to recompile and reload exactly one function or form, for instance. Even if it is really fast most JavaScript setups require recompiling a whole file and likely reloading the whole page to test.

Clojure also has debuggers: you can debug from either Cider or Cursive, for instance. I'm not that familiar with debugging outside of those two though.

I interpreted it to mean that they are in fact a subset of Bezier curves.

You're effectively advocating parliamentary sovereignty. Which is a British tradition, no doubt - but most other countries aren't operating under these principles, and never did, so it's not a "last 50-ish years" thing.
Former Ruby guy reporting in. Started using clojure a few years back, but have been serious about it recently. I can't explain how pleasant the language is. Everything just makes sense, and once you get the tooling sorted (which is admittedly a bit convoluted), it such a beautiful environment.

I've always been an emacs user, so clojure was a match. Emacs + cider for repl-based development has been an amazing productivity boost. I wanna shout from the rafters and tell everyone that this is how it should be done! I don't even want to imagine working in another environment anymore.

The Lisp enlightenment is real, in that I started to see code differently -- more in the sense of homoiconicity. I realized I began to lose the distinction between code and data. Everything just merged. The clouds didn't part nor did I ascend to a higher level of being as promised -- but it was definitely a "whoa" moment.

Enough of my blubbering, just wanna say keep up the good work! The language has brought back the fun of programming for me.
This is an example of regulatory capture. Regulations make it hard to start an exchange in the US, and hard for US citizens to use overseas exchanges, so they have no alternative to shitty exchanges with poor service. This is also why they get away with charging such outrageous fees: around 50bps, when non-US exchanges like Binance and Bitmex offer around 5-10bps.

I'm absolutely pro euthanasia. When I'm old I would definitely not want to be a burden on someone, nor would I want to live like a disabled. I feel there is no dignity in it.

Yes but this goes even beyond just spying and gives them the ability to offensively hack citizens PCs.

From the other link I posted:

"ASD has legal and policy coverage to do offensive cyber operations against selected foreign targets. But this is not intelligence – it goes well beyond gathering information and into the realm of actively disrupting people or organisations overseas by damaging their data and computers. But doing this in Australia is an entirely different matter.

It was disturbing to hear Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton say last year this will be done with the necessary warrants. There are no warrants for computer or data disruption in Australia – it is just plain illegal. Warrants under the Telecommunications Interception and Access Act approved by a judge or the Attorney General only permit interception and access for the purpose of gathering information/intelligence. There is no equivalent law for computer disruption,except for the law that says it is illegal – no exceptions. So we are talking here about a whole new legal framework."

That's the former head of the ASD warning everyone.

Neither is ideal. But you should use what information you have. There is still no excuse for making a decision like 85 in a 35. Worst case this should be a disengage or the car could defer to you - eg visual warning on the dash "speed limit unclear, override?"

In the UK smart motorways can vary from 30mph to 70mph according to traffic. This can change within minutes and obviously cannot be in databases. So this is a good case for sign recognition. In theory though, there is some network that's updating the speed limits and there's no technical reason why that couldn't be a public information service (maybe it already is).

Then you have the sibling comments - speed limits which are time based. I would imagine this is country specific and is, mostly, a matter of public record. But would you trust CV to recognise text on a sign with specific hours? I don't know how complex the signage is, but trying to use ML for this seems absurdly wasteful of resources.

Finally you have other information - how fast are the cars around you travelling? Have you detected an obstruction on the road (eg cones)? Is the weather inclement and therefore you should drive more slowly, etc.

I would imaging that if self driving cars become ubiquitous there will eventually be a system for real time speed limit determination, whether that's some kind of wireless beacon at regular intervals or an online database that's kept up to date I don't know.

Good to see some more activity in embedded data space. Earlier used BerkleyDB [1], msql [2] (from where MySQL was built), Postgres 4.2 [3] and now settled on SQLite for all our embedded database needs. When need performance at present just use SQLite in memory db.

Will give Sled a try when it reaches 1.0.0 as at present SQLite serves our embedded requirements.

Question do you lease or buy your servers? It isn't quite clear which you do.

Genius...
In some photos, you can see that from the camera's POV, the area around the actors is displayed on LED as green screen so the actors can be masked out. Then, a higher resolution background is composited in. Thus, the original LED serves to accurately light the scene to reflect the background but not always to actually be the background.

Oh gosh yes. I couldn't have done the project without it, to be honest, not in the time frames needed. Still makes me a little queasy though, although I was the only person given access to said data sets and met with executives from said companies prior to, so I suppose it's not quite as crazy as I made it sound...
If that was the case, it was probably more for football after the return to standard time. (Football determines everything.) That may be less important now that the return is a week later: there isn't a great deal of football season left after the first week in November. Also ISTM there has been a great deal of ideological turnover in high school football in recent years. The old dudes have retired; their successors might be more open to reason.

Are they? How about Detroit? I know it is shocking to Californians, but many people would be happy working at the Lordstown GM plant in Ohio if it was still open. Telling those people that the real problem is that rent is high in San Francisco, not that they lost their job is a total misread of the problem and the causes of the problem. If we magically had 10 million free apartment units in San Francisco, it does very little to help the rust belt.
Spiderman climbing up a wall can be done via forced perspective. It's also an action scene, reducing the need for a background to help the actor. And some brave souls will Harold Lloyd it.

How can someone relating their personal experience be "biased"?

> Actually economically speaking — what reason is there to think that the total supportable size of an economy which operates with grid instability is smaller than one with perfect or nearly perfect grid predictability?

The short answer is pretty much all of them. It's pretty much canonical that it is economically more productive to have a resource continually available than not. The right economic question to ask is: Where does the marginal cost of increasing uptime meet the marginal benefit of further increased uptime?
The ground ends up close to the average temperature of the local environment which in your case is a long way from -15c. Excluding of course hot springs etc, but that’s a separate and very localized solution. Further, if you’re that far south a solar hot water heater system is still cheaper to build + operate and in terms of energy costs.

People dealing with permafrost both directly are stuck with lower temperatures and would need to dig much further as your dependent on water exchanging heat with a large thermal mass. That’s the tipping point I am talking about, not your balmy 8-10c average temperatures.
graph neural networks do generally seem to work pretty well for many tasks and are not snake oil. so it’s not unbelievable that they are also able to predict molecule properties with some degree of accuracy — and a fair number of papers have had some success on various datasets of molecular structures over the past couple of years. whether it’s a big deal for actual real world drug discovery, i have no idea, but this isn’t just a mirage.

There's always the option to go for it right now while you're still absolutely pro.

But if that doesn't appeal to you, then ask yourself, are you really sure you're in favor?
AmEx removed paper cups from their office “for the environment.” Yet they incentivize travel with points and airline miles. So we know it’s really not about the environment.

I don't think there is a euthanasia bill passed or even on the table in the entire planet where "we start killing people because you" is acceptable.

> "Most people with something terribly wrong are holding out hope"

We're talking about people inches from death here. If they had hope they would be in hospital. They no longer have hope, only pain.

> A lot of people can't quite commit to euthanasia because "what if they find a cure a week later?"

A lot of people want euthanasia as a barrier against fear... "There have been some terrible days, and I'm certain I'm dying, and as I die, it will get worse. If it gets intolerable, I can opt out... it's not intolerable today, so I can hold on another day."
We go to a smallish local furniture store. Nothing there is really cheap (almost everything is over $1000) and you most likely have to order something (they only have display models). But every piece we've purchased from there has held up perfectly.

Raising debt is a very common phrase in my world.

The grandparent comment makes a valid point, just backwards. The reason orientation and orienteering contain the string "orient" is because Europeans historically put the East at the top of maps, a practice which changed some time after the introduction of the compass.

Which points North, unless it points South; Chinese maps traditionally put the South at the top.

Here's an example of such a map, of the form known as "T and O": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Early_world_maps#/media/File:D...

It's interesting to me that, as moderns, we barely recognize such a stylized image as a map.

Up to 9% off cheapest wow classic gold as 2020 Spring Promotion Feb 24-Mar 4
World of Warcraft Classic has been around for more than half a year, and it's a great time to learn all the fun facts surrounding your favorite attack. As you grind, enjoy some useful information about how and when to start your favorite endgame with wow classic gold for sale . Here are some interesting facts from the actual technical creation and obscure lore of the dungeon.

Zul'Gurub And A Design Revolution

You can trace the history and legend of Zul'Gurub (ZG) for thousands of years, which is fascinating anyway. From a technical point of view, this example provides a completely new way for MMOs to observe the dungeon. These two perspectives are intertwined in an interesting way, leading players into the quest chain and training them as they level up, so when they get there they already have the skills and trinkets to get them through Raid. ZG is an open concept dungeon, similar to Zul'Farrak, and the first raid instance specifically designed for 20 people instead of 40. Players can also quickly traverse it on the mount, reducing running time.

IMO the dataset that those OKC analyses were on are highly skewed to the kind of people who would use OKC then. I wonder of OKC users are representative of the dating population, especially since of course dating dynamics on OKC are likely very different from other ways to date.
