"The more data we have on what happens over the next few days is going to really accelerate our ability to retrain our AI systems and then help all of you accurately understand tenant risk moving forward into this new world"

AI seems to be like Javascript. It can be used for good, or it can be used for evil. And for some reason the evil uses are always out in front.

We need to fix people so they don't think this sort of thing is OK.
Many companies outsource domain registration to Mark Monitor or equivalent services, and Mark Monitor independently handles registration so that this doesn't happen. The larger the company, the higher the chance this is someone's job role or some company's service -- it's definitely on everyone's radar (at least today, MS has had a bad history in this department).
I'm telling you as a market participant that PIF's stake was not known at the time.

Whilst their food would not of changed in source, the content would of had spikes above global average it periods of time due to the atomic spike, also how that dispersed and how long until equilibrium would all be factors that come into play. Let alone natural hotspots from solar radiation increase near the poles.

But then the error +/- rate would seem to accommodate those kind of margins, but always nice if there is a way of narrowing those margins, so may be a field of research that has some headroom and also help learn many other tangents and maybe another data point for historical solar radiation.
The ligitators can check to see if the loss function was evaluated correctly to within some sigma, and the ligitators can be robotic as well, in a couple decades from now. Most of what lawyers do is apply patterns they know from before for $900/hr, and that's exactly what machine learning is good at.

SoftBank is all about AI and I actually don't think AI lawyers would be a bad thing; it would be nice if they futurized their own corporate and investment structure by design instead of following today's defaults, including "fiduciary duty" in an absolute sense, which I think is an antiquated concept for a society 100 years from now.

SoftBank has the power to redesign concepts such as boards, shares, equity from the ground up, and they should be doing experiments with those ideas.
The Man Who Got No Whammies (2015)
I find the contrasts between Gen X and Millennial stereotypes quite striking. You can see it in the media, which was often simply a dramatized perversion of generational self-reflection to sell media.

The Gen X generation seems to be characterized as generally depressed with a bored attitude of *its ok, i'll get over it". The primary theme there is some form of muted (apathetic) emotional resiliency, where mute suggests a primary characterization that is unintentionally not primarily communicated. These sort of characterizations suggest something that is not fragile, but not something that is socially exciting.

Millennial generation on the other hand appears to be characterized by maximum inclusion and interconnectedness, which are great... until people are cut off, which is characterized for its stark fragility.

Those are stereotypes and are prone to being wildly inaccurate with respect to any particular group or subculture, but still its interesting to compare those two demographics by solely looking at the representative media. During Gen X grunge, gangster rap, and country music were wildly popular. The really big deal in my area was Nine Inch Nails which was horribly depressing. Shows like Roseanne, Married with Children, and Beavis and Butthead were all the rage which mostly featured primary characters sitting on a couch complaining and getting over it. Also remember the Simpsons were far more depressing in their first few seasons during that period of time.

Media also reflects the stereotypes for the Millennial generation as well. The popular shows of the late 90s and early 2000s were things like Friends, Seinfeld, Sex and the City, Grey's Anatomy, and 30 Rock. These were all friends spending time with each other being happy, and aside from 30 Rock, none of those people ever seemed to go to work. Work is boring and depressing. The biggest things in music during the early years of the Millennial generation were most pop bands that graduated from boy bands or young attractive female pop singers. The theme was be beautiful, happy, and connected, but the moment you weren't connected the rest of it seemed to fall apart.

Comparing the two generations it seems Gen Xers are living an emotional coma enjoying all that numbs them to, while Millennials are living with bipolar disorder.

Also no mention of testing, which from my experience is the last, and hardest barrier to overcome.
I have known some very intelligent homeless people who have made the same argument as you. Abandoning social expectations was their attempt at a solution. I think it mostly worked for those who dedicated their lives to chess, reading, casual volunteerism. It did not work out for those who took to drugs.
It violates privacy laws so it's illegal. And like the article also says, credit rating agencies need to be registered through the government and consumers need to give their consent for a credit check.

Crisis? More like correction.
When Japanese text is written vertically, Roman letters (with the exception of short acronyms) are indeed written with a 90-degree clockwise rotation. If you were reading a novel in Japanese that contains a brief English quotation, you would turn the book 90-degrees counterclockwise and then read it normally as you would in English. Non-fiction or technical works where English quotations, code examples, or mathematical formulas would be common are not usually written vertically.
What PR? The people who are negatively affected are not their customers.

i guess it now depends on each government - is a state able and willing to prop up its industry in times of crisis or not?
Sorry OP, but my feeling is, without quantitative metrics, this is useless. As others have said, each company will choose only positive things, and it will be hard to tell companies apart.

What I really want, and no one has made, is for some comprehensive scraping of LinkedIn and Crunchbase to help answer the following questions for each company:

- Average turn over time for different job types

- Average experience of new engineers (new grad vs. 10 years)

- Distribution of management vs. engineers vs. PMs etc.

- Are management promoted from engineering or hired from outside?

- Have the founders had successful companies before? In the same area or different?

- What schools did employees go to? What is the education distribution of employees?

- what's the gender/race/etc. make up? (Does the company actually value diversity)
etc.

Answer those, comprehensively, and I'd easily pay for access to that service.

Alternatively, if you are having companies post jobs, have them answer those questions (and tell them you'll check against LI/CB). i.e., get actual transparency where it matters, not just fake/propaganda transparency like you have here. That would actually help me make a decision to apply or not.
Atari Token is under Atari Chain Limited, which is a licensee - a new company registered in Gibraltar. Their online imagery has the logo of ICICB Group.

A quick search reveals Atari gets 30% of the revenue from the token sale. This is presumably for lending their name to ICICB.

ICICB Group get 70% of the revenue raised from the token sale. Can't find any details on who these people are.
Is such a blacklist actually illegal or did they mistype “immoral”?

It's in the next paragraph:

"Ries said Naborly seems to be acting as a consumer reporting agency, of which there are currently two licensed in Ontario: Equifax and TransUnion."
Posibly off-topic but I read these often here

> (these companies) have no shame

Companies have no morals. People have morals. Thus reframing 'BigCorp is bad' trope.
I don't know how many times it needs to be said.

An entity has the inherent right to control what is on it's own property. Full stop gentlemen.
I don't know very much and can't speak to it's legality, but I do know Canada (at least Ontario) has very strong tenant protections, and the law tends to land on the side of the tenants instead of the landlords. I wouldn't be surprised if this was either illegal or if tenants could take the landlord to court if they though they were passed over because of this.
I have to agree here. If VSCode seems to be a widely accepted editor on HN using Electron, then I can't wait to see what Microsoft has done with MS Edge which so far is a breath of fresh air.

Time to go where the 'real' users are.
"WeWork was a going concern with 600,000 customers more or less happy with their service."

This may have been true in December 2019, but with a global patchwork "stay at home" regulations in place, I suspect co-work spaces (especially of the open floor plan variety) are devoid of paying customers. That presumes they're even allowed to be open right now.

I don't remember offhand what the average WeWork customer generates in revenue or if the bulk of those customers are month-to-month vs. mid- to long-term contracts. If the former I don't see why those customers would continue to pay for space and services they don't have the ability to use.
I'm not saying this will happen, but one way I might like to see this play out is a bit like the following.

I have a bunch of apps. Some of them talk to each other, some do not. In general, if I deploy 5 copies of something, you should assume I mean "never on the same box" by default. (I'm looking at you, Kubernetes. WITAF.)

You could, as a vendor, do a lot of sophisticated work on the spanning tree to reduce the amount of network traffic versus loopback traffic. You might try to spread out unshared volumes across as many motherboards as possible. You could differentiate on how to most efficiently and/or stably migrate from previous config to new config, or vice versa. You could do a bunch of knapsack work, including (and this is a pet peeve of mine) pre-scaling for cyclical traffic patterns.

If you've ever looked at the Nest thermostat, one of several defining features was that it figures out the thermal lag in your heating and cooling system and it can make the house be the correct temperature at a particular time, rather than waiting until the appointed time to do anything. If a hockey puck on my wall can do shit like this then why doesn't every cloud provider do this day 1?

Tack onto this some capacity planning infographics, and a system to schedule bulk, low priority operations around resource contention, and I could probably help get you a meeting with my last boss, my current boss, and probably at least the one after that.
You made two very snarky comments above that implied people should have known about the throttling:

>Are you suggesting it wasn’t known that battery replacements were available for iPhones? I know I personally replaced several batteries over the years in iPhones, I don’t think that was a big secret.

>I thought it was pretty much common knowledge that your battery going bad would degrade performance and it was time to get a new battery

You're now walking that claim back it seems.

>The accusation is that Apple downclocked the phone in order to degrade the phone's performance and make people buy new phones.

No it isn't. Re-read my comments. The accusation is that Apple purposefully hid the throttling from its customers denying them of the choice to replace the battery and bring the phone back to 100%. As I said - whether this act was nefarious is not clear.

Look, you're just not being intellectually honest, nor do you seem to be carefully reading the thread so I've no more interest in debating you.
The article cites various people who know Canada's laws that say it's not legal, in case no other replies show up here.
"I will custom write a new program to (somehow) generate each image and then distribute that instead of my image" is not a compression algorithm. But I think you'd do well over at the halfbakery.
This sounds overly specific, there are lots of places to find private tutors, so building one aimed specifically at undergrad first 2 years in a specific field - isn’t it a bit too specific? I’m trying to count how many unicorns are there in the tutoring marketplace, and nothing comes to mind. I mean if there was a Tinder and you would be the tinder for pets, I get it, the main category is saturated so you find a niche, but what is the poster child of tutor finding? I used some app in the past and it tried to convince me to use the app to pay the tutor, it ended up just being a way for me to get their phone number, I pay them directly (tutor for my kids). I think you either go with care.com approach where you pay a fee, or mask sending emails / numbers, otherwise, tutors will figure they can cut the middleman and get paid directly once you start scaling and can’t hire them directly. I wish you all the best and lots of good ideas get a lot of “it won’t work” naysayers but I’m curious how you got YC to invest in this, what evidence you have that people will want to pay for it, and that they will use your service vs any of the other “find a tutor” places out there. Last question, how do you make sure it doesn’t turn into a “do my homework for me” thing like course hero etc.

All the best, I’m just curious on how the business of this will work, and how you convinced YC to believe in it too.
When you say that depression may be a rational reaction to the world, are you suggesting that nothing should be done to prevent or 'fix' depression?

When I find a topic particularly interesting, I like to write an in-depth post on it. My blog content is mostly on all things web. I don’t blog as frequently as I should though.
https://b.nfd.moe

Over the past several months/years, I've usually gone around in my life with a notebook on my person. Some of these notes/lingering ideas seem like things about which I should go write essays.

I've got three posts live at the moment, all of which have something to do with my (generally leftist) takes on the far right--though I might be coming at things a little bit more sideways than that implies. I've got some ideas for both more-of-that and not-that. You should read it because I'm digging into cultural issues (and probably other things) via some ideas you may not have seen before.
I don't think it was a typo

> "It seems like this is a blacklist that Naborly is hoping that landlords will help create by just informing on every single tenant, whether they've paid or not," he added. "It does not seem legal."

> Also, allowing landlords access to tenants' past paying habits meant the company in question was "acting as a credit reporting agency, without a requisite licence," he said.

> The process has also raised concerns from the Canadian Civil Liberties Association (CCLA), which noted that property managers in Canada are not allowed to publish "bad tenants" lists.
> There weren't exactly huge top-down changes between Bush, Clinton, Bush 2, and Obama.

But at least neither of the four essentially tanked US international relations with allies like Trump did, by essentially dismantling American influence everywhere from the UN to long-time allies such as Europe, South Korea or the Kurds.

Another four years with Trump and the once "leader of the free world" will be no leader any more.
Keeping WhatsApp Personal and Private
What I said was that total profits for 50 or 60 years, for all airline companies put together, were $0. But any one company, for a period of several years, certainly could be doing well enough to reasonably buy back stock. It doesn't have to be financial malpractice. (It may be, but my statement doesn't mean that it is.)
You're right, I meant normal, not random. (Fixed)

And I didn't mean to imply that I'm any better than a novice. I just know enough to know to always check that assumptions for any given test needs to be valid. (It's been a few years since I've had to use any of this in a professional capacity.)

But is 30 plenty? Or is it sufficient?

As I remember, normal distribution usually requires a sample size of N=>30. (As in 30 is the minimum.)
I am not so sure. Do you have to give consent for a bank to submit a charge-off report to the various credit bureaus in case of negative balance or other delinquency?

This sounds like the initial data collection which is a massive grey area IMO. The use of that data to make an approve/decline decision is where the regulations start to take effect.
If so, then asking for references from a previous landlord must also be illegal. It's the same private information: where you lived and whether you paid rent on time.
Collection of 200 free and awesome mental health resources
Yes, but many legacy .Net apps were delivered without source-code, the original developer is not available, and now people like OP and me are looking to run this old crap (for paying customers) without having to maintain a dedicated Windows VM.
> Am I just totally wrong here?

Yes. I think so.

docker-compose is just a tool to run multiple containers together. It is extremely simple, readable and straightforward (if you're familiar with docker). It is not an inf. abstraction at all.
Yay for conformance tests! What's the strategy for handling things that don't make sense for other platforms? Do you expect that they'll be removed from the spec eventually, or fit in as some kind of platform-specific extension mechanism?
IANAL but anyone who uses that list will likely get sued for housing discrimination by opportunistic lawyers. All it takes is a sympathetic jury in a low income area with lots of protected classes and a subpoena to show them that the list is disproportionately made up of those protected classes - which it almost certainly will be because socioeconomics.
I use mutt, which is free (and open source). Mutt knows how to thread properly, and gives me control over threading, as well. So I'm always confused about people's explanation for why top-posting is better, until I remember that they're probably using something like Gmail.
Not sure if you meant this sarcastically, but if that happens, fuck it. This is the world we made. To pretend we have free-market capitalism while propping up shitty business practices with tax-payer sponsored bailouts is not free-market capitalism. Institute laws about foreign governments buying up bankrupt assets or something. But for the love of god don't just bail them out.

This is the same as scolding a child hitting their sibling and then giving them a fucking cookie. Then when they keep hitting people, at least have the sense not to be confused why they don't learn.
ECB announces package of temporary collateral easing measures
Yes, though exactly why depends on the jurisdiction. In some areas a tenant blacklists is explicitly illegal; in others this would fall afoul of credit monitoring registration laws. Additionally the fact that they're using AI opens the door for a lot of issues; for example, if it turns out that their blacklist flags a disproportionately large share of African-American renters they're on the wrong side of fair housing and anti-redlining laws.
Can you elaborate on what this means?
Knowingly being locked into an older version of a technology is bad omen, e.g., security. Granted, it is bootstrap, and we're talking about IE 11. But some XSS issue might pop up that doesn't get patched in pre-Bootstrap v5.

And with time, your product that's built on Bootstrap v4 (or earlier) is only going to continue decaying.
this is like a creepier version of Don't Date Him Girl.
I'm curious, what's the advantage vs. the "ready, set, play/pause" method?
They were basically insolvent when the extra Softbank cash failed and the IPO failed. And that was before COVID-19.

But you make a good point: They owe so much in leases they have huge negotiating power, and with COVID-19 they probably have even more since nobody's renting space right now.
Again you’re misinterpreting what was said, an incoming ICBM is a blip on the horizon. At the time it was a potential threat, which could become very real very quickly. Part of that was splitting up the actual quote into multiple pieces without the correct context, but that’s on the reporter not the expert.
I think the APFS snapshot integration is easily the coolest part of Arq 6. Arq now has access to a special Apple entitlement to take full-desk point-in-time snapshots of an APFS container and backup from that. It's like what time machine would've/should've been, for the cloud.
>"Please note that we keep reporting fully confidential and DO NOT notify your tenant that you have reported to our system."

Brutal. They know how it looks, they just don't care to be seen being that guy.
> It can be used for good, or it can be used for evil.

It is used to make money. Evil seems to pay better these days.

You don't fix people, you fix incentives. This requires regulation to prohibit bad behavior and reward for good behaviors.

I write about computer science, philosophy and their intersections. My posts are geared towards people with an interest in both CS and philosophy. You can find stuff ranging from typical CS/ML topics like how to build a melanoma classifier, to what the implications of cellular automata are for free will. I don't write super frequently, but I put a lot of effort into my posts.

I also chat with readers pretty often, so if you generally just want to have a discussion about these topics, I'm a good person to reach out to :)
Can we also talk about CR vs LF and HTML vs plain emails? They're equally relevant discussions and totally not things that have been settled for ages by everyone but the obsessed.
I’d pick a book from [0], focusing on what you’re weak on or interested in.

The simple truth is that inline replying represents a massive cognitive load. Not just for the writer but for all the recipients.

Not only does the email become very verbose with a lot of repeated paragraphs and psychedelic colors, it's also often content that you are already familiar with and don't really need to read again.

Most email threads take place over a 24-48 hours period, which is enough for most people to have the context fresh in their mind, so top posting is a net gain for everyone.

What is a very bad habit, though, is people not trimming long threads, especially when they forward such discussions.
Technically, the first two are French, and umber is Latin, but that's how English works.
I totally would love this as a candidate. But I don't see any incentive as a company to fill out a profile. I could write all this on my hiring page of my own web site already.

And now that I think of it - even if I am a candidate, this is still just the company saying what they want, so how is this any different than just trusting what the recruiter says?
