Developing a popular new Operating System (OS)
I think the point is that the OS needs to interface with the hardware and read out the data, which is then passed to a program which works with it, part of which is a neural network in this case. Usually there's some marshalling and unmarshalling in there too.

Every public statement made on the record by Google search quality people, from Matt Cutts to Udi Manber to low-level engineers' tweets and blogs says that search quality never uses revenue as a metric and they don't generally even speak to the ads side of the business.
What did I fail to address? Your argument is that peer review doesn't actually involve any sort of review capable of spotting bad research. That publications operate on blind faith, and so failure to spot bad fraudulent research is a non-issue.

And I pointed out that this isn't a rebuttal to what these hoaxsters sought to reveal. In fact, it's an admission that their claims are true: These publication do operate on blind faith and are highly vulnerable to false claims.

You seem to be under the impression that peer review isn't meant to spot ineffective or false claims, and so this hoax reveals nothing. You're entitled to your own opinions, but many others disagree. Most understand that the purpose of peer review to ensure academic rigor and catch bad research, rather than operating under blind faith. So the revelation that many publications operate on blind faith is indeed a significant result.

In short, these hoaxsters are saying, "Look! These publications are incapable of spotting blatantly wrong research."

And you're responding, "But most publications can't spot blatantly wrong research.".

The second statement does not disprove the former. You're just claiming that the conclusions these hoaxsters made about social science publications can also be made against other publications. And that may be your perspective, but others do not have the same pessimistic attitude towards peer review.

> This even allows them to have fully-Unicode usernames; username phishing is less of a problem when users expect duplicate usernames, and none of your systems depend on username uniqueness.

It's surprising but providing an extra degree of freedom makes the system more robust. Username phishing is a real problem on Twitter because people expect unique names associated with each person they interact with but if usernames can not be assumed to be unique then using the name as a heuristic for identity is no longer a viable shortcut so people have to develop other ways of making sure they're talking to who they think they're talking to.

On a related note, keybase (keybase.io) proofs never made sense to me until I started thinking about how I would prove to people that I am indeed who I say I am. Keybase provides a cryptographic basis for trust, which is much better than what most social media systems currently support with their verification mechanisms. I personally trust cryptographic signatures over whatever verification mechanism Twitter is using to provide blue check marks to verified accounts.
Can you not gamble with a credit card in vegas?

It looks like the person in your example was selling a call, which has potentially unlimited losses - that was a rather poor decision on his part. There are much safer methods of making "the same bet".

Gambling is a random game designed to extract money from people. The stock market is a math game that doesn't care if you gain or lose.

It's really not gamified. It doesn't "nudge" you. There are no dark UX patterns that I've seen. They do not let you "go from training wheels to driving motorcycles" any more than the actual American driving test does (which, by the way, was less than three minutes long when I took it).

This whole article suggests one thing: Adults can't be trusted with their own money. That's more than a little insulting, and while it's tragic that gamblers have clearly used Robinhood as a substitute for other forms of their addiction, it's no different to the many documentaries I've seen of people doing the same thing at Poker tables or slot machines. It's just "bad" because it's in an app.

Meanwhile, I've been very happy with the things I learned using Robinhood. Not all of my investments have been successful. I've lost money on some. I've made money on others. I'm not particularly interested in shorting, and I follow the best advice: Don't invest what you can't afford to lose. Maybe they should make that their slogan, since that's really all anyone can complain about.

Yes, it's a set of libraries under one package name. With Google's massive investment in refactoring it has a pretty big surface already, from persistence to UI and almost everything in between.

https://developer.android.com/reference/androidx/packages

It's current implementation uses classes that are part of the Android layer, mostly the old support library plus some new abstractions like LiveData and Room and Navigation. I see no reason why you could not use the public interface of that library as a compatibility layer for application level code and let it run on a different platform.

Not today, but given the fact that you can't just kill the worlds most used operating system, you either use virtualization like Apple now does again for ARM (and before when replacing Motorola with Intel) or you change the underlying dependencies of the libraries used and compile again.

In some countries, the law or standard practise is to pay or give time off in lieu of pay for travelling. An 8 hour weekend flight means a day off when you're back.

I really hope so - if they aren't they're in for a pretty harsh shock. The "lulz millennials so self-centered" meme is there for a reason and the usage of social media plays a major role in a lot of people's lives, but I disagree that millennials just like to stare in the mirror all the time - it's more about social connection. For some people this is a positive sharing experience with friends and families, for others it's a competitive arena where popularity is measured - I don't care to judge and think the motivation is beside the point. The actual crux of the matter is that these interactions that people pursue is with a self-selected cohort and I don't see mirror as being effective and letting you do yoga with your friends.

On the contrary it's closer to e-health, you're connecting to a professional for some advice, but unlike e-health I imagine either that professional will be concurrently servicing lots of clients or that compensation for that professional will be dirt poor since 39$/mo isn't nearly enough for a personal trainer - the first one near me that I could find on the web runs about 150/hr so some serious corners will be getting cut unless Mirror is only usable for like... fifteen minutes a month? Or well, given that price difference I wouldn't be surprised if this was essentially an extremely expensive version of buying a projector and throwing Yoga w/ Adriene up on a wall.
Hide Google Meet Buttons from Google Calendar

Not even slightly.

> do you believe that the lack of minorities and women in tech is justified

There isn't a lack of "minorities" - there are more than population baseline of East Asians, Jews, Indians, etc. There are a lower-than-population-baseline number of South Americans (which I am, by the way), black people, etc.

"Justified" is a moral judgement, not a factual or predictive one. You can believe whatever you want is or isn't justified independently of reality. However, the current distribution of ethnic groups and sexes in tech (and most other industries) is expected and predictable based on the distribution of correlated factors within those industries, without having to appeal to racism or unfair discrimination.

> And given that a majority of "Ex-Google" engineers are males, where does that leave a woman (or any under-represented group) founder?

It leaves them as a statistical someone with an objectively poor resume.

If you want more women founded companies, you need more women engineers. If you want more women engineers, you need more women cs majors. If you want more women cs majors, you need more women interested in and excelling at math in high school.

It may not be 'fair' that the statistical woman has a 'worse' resume, nor is it 'fair' that the statistical rich kid has a 'better' one, but its asinine to address fairness at the narrow end of the funnel.

Generally, using cryptography or associated cryptographic functions is the way to go when trying to make robust systems. Joe Armstrong has a great talk where he outlines how to create a content addressable store for storing and working with knowledge/data. He suggests using SHA256 content hashing because giving items of data unique names is a hard problem so we might as well name pieces of data by their content hashes and then have a human readable pointer.

I actually like this job. We do pair programming regularly, which is the source of most of my worries that I'm not good enough. My team has a dedicated manager whose job is to mentor us in our careers. I like him and he seems to like me, he is always willing to listen and to offer help. I think the company is outstanding in providing a healthy environment. Which is why I feel so out of place. Everyone is so smart and grows so notably much and I feel I'm falling behind.

> Or you could drop $50 on some gymnastic rings and head to /r/bodyweightfitness

I wish more people thought this way. I've seen a lot of little used home gyms over the years (weights, treadmills, stationary bike, etc.). All you really need is your body and a way to move it to get in really good shape, unless strength (weight set) is specifically your goal. I have a TRX suspension trainer (more expensive than the rings) from 12 years ago, I got it on the recommendation of my roommate (it works well if you don't have a reliable place to mount rings, like when living in an apartment). I still use it, it's 8' from my current position. Between that, a yoga mat, and running shoes I'm pretty much set. Spend some money on a personal trainer to work on your form and routine, and you're done other than making it a routine.

It's also possible that Polynesians visited North America. The Chumash people had relatively sophisticated canoes called tomols which have planks that are sewn together, which was a technique unique to them in North America, but has been seen in Polynesian and South American boat construction.

> Archaeologist Terry Jones of California Polytechnic State University acknowledges that the Malibu Lagoon Chumash could have encountered Polynesian master navigators, who gave their tomol building skills to the Chumash.

> Among North American Indians, only the Chumash, and later the neighboring Gabrielino, built sewn-plank canoes. In the Western Hemisphere, this technology is otherwise known only from the coast of Chile and among Pacific Islanders. The tomols were able to carry large loads for long distances which could allowed for navigation across the Pacific.

I can't seem to find information on whether there's a confirmed Polynesian genetic connection to the Chumash. Probably unlikely, but I've always found the idea interesting.

There's a ton more funding you disregard, there's subsidies i.e. tax breaks, you can't simply look at direct research funding and at the federal level at that, what about state funding? Private funding not tied to big pharma?

This is like when academic publishers defend themselves by saying how much value they add. The fact is the U.S. could easily cover all Big Pharma R&D spending and then some if it wanted to, just the military spending increase this year was in the tens of billions of dollars. What if that went to this instead?

The problem is not the money, the problems is the incentives of the U.S. healthcare system are completely messed up. How else would you explain getting charged thousands of dollars for an ambulance ride?

I am not against Big Pharma making a profit, I am against them jacking the price of drugs by 700% because the new owners saw a cashcow opportunity. That's someone's life right there. I am not for them lobbying against single payer either.
