I hadn't seen Plynx before, and indeed it does look quite similar.

Something that I believe we do that I don't see with Plynx is our support for "debugging" pipeline in realtime through extensive Jupyter integration.

When a pipeline step is a Jupyter notebook, you can execute previous steps in the pipeline (partially execute the pipeline graph). It passes data to the running notebook kernel and which allows you to explore it interactively. This makes it a lot easier to guarantee your incoming data matches your expectations.

We also put each step in a pipeline in a separate container (with its own image), which will simplify a lot of things when taking the effort to productionize pipelines to make them suitable for horizontal scale-out.

Edit: running locally can be useful if you want to use your own resources (i.e. your own GPU-rack) to run compute heavy data science pipelines. But we envision for most real-world team usage they'll want to run in the cloud. We're working on making it run directly on top of cloud provided Kubernetes engines.
"Optimal" compilation is actually harder than NP-complete. Because program equivalence is undecidable, finding a canonical "optimal" representation for a program can't be done in general.
I wonder how they're hedging the risk of Tether/Bitfinex losing their case(s) against the NYAG and others and the likely resultant drop in value of BTC.
>We hear far more noise from the neighborhood in general than the neighbors we share a wall with. Granted they might just be particularly quiet people, but there is some significant sound-deadening in that wall.

I also share that experience. Unless you are using loud tools or do anything that vibrates heavily while touching walls (sound can travel very far this way) I never hear anything and I'm in a 5 story apartment complex. It's all about having nice and thick sound isolating walls. The worst noise sources all come from the outside.

Exploration as the primary algorithm continues as long as we continue to get increasing variable rewards from it. When the rewards tapper off or we are pressured for money, we choose the maximum we've found so far. This instinct to collect options has probably served us well in foraging for food, picking a mate, and any other exploration endeavor that involves finding the best of a range of newly available options.

However it may also be the root of gambling addiction and any other variable rewards game systems. Gambling, lotteries can also become more attractive the more you are pressured for money - one could argue as a means of concentrating on your most approachable local maximum.

For the segment of the workforce that we're taking about, there's no such thing as weekly 1:1's or quarterly skip level meetings (ie I scheduled a meeting with my bosses boss.) "Your manager" is overworked and underpaid, same as you, and has no such luxury, nor any real power. It's just not going to scale if every single one of their direct reports, out of dozens, suddenly needs to sign in by hand because the Internet is down. Kafka isn't relegated to Soviet fairy tales, even top performers get dinged for showing up minutes late. Why do you think the "set your own hours" aspect of being an Uber driver is so compelling? It's not because 100% of middle management are nice happy people who love their jobs.

like being mere minutes late. If your shift starts at 7:30 AM, you have to be there at 7:00 AM to be in line to have punched into the time clock before it turns 7:30. Making it to work in time to stand in line for the time clock before 7:30 isn't good enough.

For the case of suicide there is a potential mechanism in which there is a benefit for genes to pass. We can imagine a hardship scenario in which removal of oneself leaves more resources to the remainder of one’s group, which is likely to be their kin and have shared genes. In this case suicide would be adaptive for the genes to pass on. This is nor far fetched because we see other self sacrifice behavior (e.g. between parents and offspring) too.

True lack of motivation both consumes resources and doesn’t contribute to back to the individual or group survival. It is a mode of being that approximates non-living with extra costs. And to be clear I am not talking about a temporary state like depression, or a disease state like chronic depression. I just can’t imagine a permanently stagnant reservoir of genes really passing on without any form of intrinsic motivation. Even at the lowest end of mammalian bioeconomics like sloths, there is motivation, if is just fulfilled it with a different strategy.
No shortage of great suggestions here. Lotsa knowledge pouring in!

So I'm there with you although not quite as extensive.

May I suggestion: mobile app? I'm just now trying to get into PWA using vue. I have quite few mobile ideas and trying to pick your fav child is hard ;-) But using a bit of Biz Intel, research is pointing me to certain direction.

Also why not make it side hustle? Check out indiehackers.com (I have no affiliation). Great motivation and inspiration.

This is really cool and nicely made! Congratulations! I'm assuming you don't have years of programming experience (feel free to correct me!) which makes it even more impressive when looking at the things you got right. This include the idea/functionality, layout, source and that cool Moon animation!

I would suggest improving a couple of things:

1) defaults:

a) some people don't like pickers (especially this "modern" hour then time thingy) and would like to just click the "Calculate" button. I think that the value that you have already set in the picker is good enough for most.

b) eliminates issues where the value is not visible in the GUI but it is set in the program. Right now, if you open the picker and click on "Cancel" (or outside the picker) without selecting a time, the input does not show a value but you can click on the "Calculate" button and it calculates using the default value.

2) tables of data: if there's not much data in a table, like in the one the recommended sleep time, do consider copying the data instead of rendering the image. It makes the data searchable (accessibility is important) and, usually, saves an additional request for that resource.

Definitely continue! You're on the right path.
We want to try to make it easier for people to understand the landscape of tools and our position within it.

I personally like something like GitLab's https://about.gitlab.com/devops-tools/. We'll try to put up something similar on our website at some point.

I'm not deeply familiar with MLFlow, but from what I have seen/read it is more of a tracking framework that you can integrate into an existing codebase.

While Orchest allows you to take your existing codebase and structure it into a pipeline to get a visual and containerized way of interacting with the codebase (allow a mix of notebooks and .py/.sh/.R scripts), running the pipeline, and visually inspecting success/failure of pipeline runs/steps.

Another key point of difference is how we are more concerned with managing the flow of data. Since we let you build pipelines we can give you abstractions to separate data flow from the pipeline code. I.e. letting you define generic pipelines that take any data source (in some standard form, like a schema'd database) and produce reports. Because we control the data source in relation to the containerized pipelines we can also make sure the whole thing performs well when it's being executed in parallel (i.e. same version of the pipeline running grid search over paramaterized pipelines). In other words, we also control more of the underlying infrastructure when executing the pipelines.
Exactly. The other emphasized question, while less sexy and less quotable, is a much more accurate representation of the question TFA tries to answer:

Everyone saw the mass surveillance coming. What the premise of this article is, is that nobody ever detects the NSA in their systems.
Imagine that your main source of income is trying to implement something faster than some random person on the internet - that wouldn’t be fun.

What if you work on something but just before you finish someone else submits the same code.

What if their code is bug ridden but gets the bounty, that would be frustrating.
You are hearing those hacking news essentially from the same mouths calling Snowden a traitor and denying that we are under massive surveillance net, which only get worse over time. I do believe that scale of those hacks and their impact is greatly exaggerated to justify further power creep.
If you slightly expand your requirements for recruiting, instead of fighting over existing CEOs, you'll hit tons of qualified people that are not making millions and are not getting offers to make millions. And there's enough of them that if all companies did this the glut of supply would drop median CEO pay like a rock.
The hiding of the malicious code in arm processors of ssds and in the BIOS seem like this is mainly targeted at people running their own hardware.

Does this mean running in a public cloud might actually be more secure?
Or do we just have to assume that the NSA has their hardware in place in any cloud provider and that there actually is no security possible in the cloud?
> The schooling system, with its grades, signed slips, and whatnot, is set up through extrinsic motivation to teach obedience, conformity, and smothering the intrinsic drive so necessary for the creative work we will expect from the children later in life.

I think your expectations of the schooling system are simply skewed. At least in the countries which I lived in (Europe) the 'customer' of the schooling system is first and foremost society as a whole.

The individual, the child, comes second. Not in a way that children are not important. It's just that the outcome of a well organised society is what matters. So, although not in extreme ways of course (there is no evil mastermind), conformity and the likes are important values.
Most beautiful Brand Books/Style Guides and how to create your own
It's a basic principle of contract law that parties can't agree to a valid contract if they don't know the basic fundamental financial terms of the contract, like say, the price.

A driver does not know how much a passenger is paying for the ride. The passenger does not know how much the driver is receiving for the ride. Ergo, they cannot have formed a valid contract with each other. On the other hand, the passenger knows how much they are paying Uber, and the driver knows how much Uber is paying them. This indicates that the common relationship is Uber, and that the driver is acting as Uber's agent with respect to the driving services. This is supported by Uber/Lyft treating gross booking as their revenue. It is a long-standing principle of GAAP that if you are collecting money on someone else's behalf as their agent, it's not your revenue. If you are treating the money as your revenue, and their services as an expense, that indicates they are acting as an agent on your behalf with respect to the services/whatever that gave rise to the revenue. Because the driver is acting as Uber's agent, AB5 comes into play to determine whether they are an employee or independent contractor.

I don't know why you're fixated on Expedia. Expedia is a reseller, which is a thing that has existed as a legal construct for over a century and has an actual meaning and requirements defined by law. Expedia doesn't resell services, it sells reservations/tickets/etc provided by third parties that represent a right to a specific performance of a specified service at a specified time and place by that third party. Importantly, once a transaction is completed on Expedia, the customer must generally seek customer service from the third party, not Expedia, because Expedia's role in the transaction is completed, and Expedia only provides relief if the third party will not, and that relief is limited to refunding the customer for the amount they paid Expedia.

UberLyft don't sell services provided by third parties, they sell a service (transportation or food delivery), and it happens to be performed by third parties on UberLyft's behalf. In contrast to Expedia, none of the participants in the transportation or food delivery service get to select their putative counterpart to the transaction, or the financial terms of the transaction, and after the driver's part is concluded they usually have no further interaction with the passenger as customer service service issues are provided by UberLyft, not the driver. IOW, there are no hallmarks of a business relationship between the driver and customer.

Maybe we need a better way to explain what we do. After reading through the comments and getting a better picture of what we're providing, does Orchest still not speak to you?

Would love to learn more, as we're particularly keen on understanding how to communicate in the clearest way.
There are many CEO that earn a lot less, especially in the non-profit sector. Market rate can be quite misleading when you are including widely different markets with very different goals.

If mozilla want to be more like EFF and focus on the advocacy aspect then maybe they should be similar paid. Even better, merge the two organizations and replace the leadership with the one in EFF. No need to go and look for a CEO willing to be paid 1/10th of current wages as there is already one available doing that now.
What does SCA mean here?

I really do not feel like spending time on looking this up myself because typing the full meaning of "SCA" out would have taken the parent poster a fraction of the time that it took them to type the paragraph that derailed the discussion before it even started.

That requires a bit more wealth to start with though, right? With 20-30% equity, the number of people who'd be able to afford a multi-family building (at least where I live) is tiny, and has a large overlap with those who can afford multiple multi-family buildings, I believe.

What's somewhat more common in Germany (at least in the rural areas) is having a single small apartment inside a single family home that was usually rented to workers.
