which got bought by instacart that applied recommendation technology to automatically fill out orders for grocery, the idea is that the problem of filling up a complete order for a week worth of groceries is hard online. In our area it was backed by an independent grocery store that serves as a kind of “startup accelerator” for food-related business.
>we can all be confident that the true reason for her appointment wasn't her qualifications as a jurist.

Of course that's true. All judges are picked for their political bias. If you want to argue that she's unqualified, I refer you to the ABA assessment which disagrees.

I want at a minimum the wires in my walls/floors to be easy to edit, inside trunking in the wall/trapdoors in the floorboards. Why would you have to cut holes in your wall, edit the cables inside, and then plaster over them again to cause the same problem next time? Madness

Amazon changed from being a marketplace for high quality products to being a marketplace for their own products while also allowing some cheap junk to boost their numbers. Just open the site and see the prominent categories – Amazon clinic, Amazon Fresh & Whole Foods grocery delivery, One Medical, Amazon Pharmacy, Amazon Music, Prime Gaming, Echo & Alexa, Fire Tablets, Fire TV, Kindle, Audible... There's really no high quality third party retail over there anymore because manufacturers can now easily ship on their own and avoid Amazon's massive cut.
I love the website design. Took us a century or so but long form copywriting for selling products really is back, isn’t it!
This Mysterious Sea Creature Is Immortal. Now Scientists Know Why

> we are thinking about spending an enormous amount of time, effort and money on a major overhaul of the education system when we don't have the data to tell us if what we'll spend will wasted or, worse yet, if we are to some extent playing a zero sum game.

... well, do we have the data now?

Seems to me the "education system" keeps having the same debates over and over; surely "data" isn't at issue here? From an outsider perspective it seems like all sides to any debate feel free to make up any data and any reinterpretation of existing data they need, in order to support their position of the day.
There are also social stigmas holding back the development of modular housing.

Ask HN: Do you lie about terrible jobs in interviews?
If you are in a position where the environment becomes toxic and you're ready to leave a job, do you usually explain that in an interview?

You would need to control every factor of a person's life to see if D makes the difference: food, culture, stressors, exercise, etc.

Since it’s not possible to do this should we give up studying these sorts of things? Scientists study theses types of things the best way they know how. They search for clues, evidence. Then more studies are done. Eventually, hopefully, enough evidence has been amassed to make a conclusion that has a very good chance of being correct. It’s not perfect but it’s much better than doing nothing.

The authors acknowledge the limitations of the conclusions that can be made. They write:

Vitamin D supplementation might reduce the incidence of major cardiovascular events, although the absolute risk difference was small and the confidence interval was consistent with a null finding. These findings could prompt further evaluation of the role of vitamin D supplementation, particularly in people taking drugs for prevention or treatment of cardiovascular disease.
I'm not aware of any serious cult created solely through videos.
Typically I call customer service because I'm trying to tackle a problem that cannot be solved by using their normal interface. There is usually some subtlety or exception that requires an agent capable of understanding them at the other end, otherwise I wouldn't have bothered calling.

Chatbots almost by definition cannot deal with that, at least I've never experienced one ever. And I imagine that if they can understand what I want it's just too easy to code them to toe the company line and tell me to pound sand.

Empathy and understanding are not parameters, yet.
I separate work from personal life as much as possible.

I create a new iCloud account with my work email and use that. I never use my iCloud account in my company’s hardware [0].

If I want to listen to music, I play it from my personal iPhone, which I have with me all the time and has all my personal accounts.

> IMHO, all the garbage videos I see of people doing "pranks" (which are often low grade violence against strangers) just make impressionable teens and young adults feel is is OK do engage in that sort of behavior

I'm sorry but this is not a factual statement. Violence among the youth has actually decreased sharply since videogames were introduced, and I'm absolutely not convinced that the current red scare (tiktok) is any different.
How is this different from "senior generalist who did a few deep dives in specific areas and projects"?

A doctor is not "educated" in the classic sense. He learns a trade -- but that is not "education."

The GP is correct; and your view of education is a good example of it.
Why would virtual depictions of murder and violence have zero effect, but real people being mean to each other cause a complete breakdown of the social order (at least for short amount of time)?

As far as I know (and from my person experience video games do not cause violence, but desensitization to depictions of violence. Here it is probabbly the exact same, but instead of violence it is depictions of anti-social behaviour.
No. Having everything centralized on things like Facebook and Instagram is far easier for the phishers. Nobody is going to spend the time to devise custom fishing attacks for individual websites. Attacking a platform that would let you get millions of accounts at once, that's their dream. And they have it.
Having just finished a build, this is very true. New construction methods are amazing. My home had rough in plumbing in a day. Scheduling, inspections, and credentials eat up the most time. Why a plumber can't hook up power to a water heater is beyond me. That alone ate a week.
Sadly, this is spot on.

I worked on Amazon's fulfillment software a long time ago. Short version is: quality is an arms race between Amazon and a lot of _very-motivated_ cheaters, and Amazon is always behind. At least when I was there, they wanted to fix stuff, but only in an "cost-effective, at-scale, multi-year-project" kind of way, rather than the simple obvious solution of "throw lots of people at the problem until it goes away". My guess is that they're somewhat more worried now as tides have shifted away from their reputability, but they're nevertheless probably in like year 3 of a ten-year plan at the moment.
>But a company run by a superintelligent AI would quickly become so complex that the inner workings of the company would become a black box to the board.

The AI is still doing the job in the real world of allocating resources, hiring and firing people, and so on. It's not so complex as to be opaque. When an AI plays chess, the overall strategy might not be clear, but the actions it is doing are still obvious.

Who am I?

~1.5 years of experience as a software engineer.

I've worked across the entire stack: dockerizing frontend & backend applications, setting up AWS VMs (SSL certificates, NGINX configurations etc.), building React components & managing states with Redux, implemented and maintained Python server housing ML APIs, designed (under guidance of CTO) and implemented ML APIs for entity extraction and summarization of clinical data

I have a B.Eng in Biomedical Engineering and since graduating, I have worked: as an Analyst in one of the top cancer institutes in the world (Princess Margaret) and a Sales Engineer/R&D Engineer at a medical device startup (tool to help surgeons with hip replacement surgeries).

Currently, I'm working through the fast.ai lectures with the goal of creating a 'smart compose' for clinical notes.

P.S. I'm open to internships as well.

It can, but it comes with the Amazon app store by default. There are projects around that integrate Play and Magisk.
I really think probably the US and France both need to take responsibility for the situations they have created inside themselves rather than blame china. Whatever effect tiktok could be having is minuscule compared to the raw effects of generations of explicitly racist economic policies. Ruthless self-interest is a cultural value of the US! China didn't make it so.

At the very very most, something like you're talking about could only be an intentional trigger to an already-present instability.
As long as you have a complete userland in your image and a compatible kernel and no extra CAP or binds, it really doesn't matter at all what else the host is doing. That's true for most mainstream architectures and distros of the past 5 years (and more, but I can't be bothered to look it up).

If you add orchestration tools in to the mix, that's a different story, but even then you can argue that the orchestrator is your API and not the host OS. A bare kubeadm setup vs. EKS vs. AKS vs. GKE all have the same base API, which means as long as you don't extend past this API it doesn't matter where you run. Again, that breaks as soon as you start including hard dependencies on StorageClass configurations for PVCs, CNIs or CSIs.

The only real reason a specific host OS matters is the case where someone writes software against the specific userland of that OS. If you use the same syscalls that are available everywhere, the host OS no longer matters as long as it complies. In a way, if you didn't need the host OS userland, you could just build a single static binary. Or if the software really has special needs, build it as a unikernel.

As a concept the 'we build the software, you install the OS' deal is critically flawed and a bad point to abstract an interface between a third party vendor and a server they don't supply.
As I said, my point is irrespective of the righteousness of any particular ideologies. Your reflexive ideological defense buttresses my position of ideological segregation prompting the twitter exodus.

If you desire light hearted discussion, I suggest avoiding nonresponsive arguments and implications of pseudointellectualism.
The conflation of “spyware” ie tracking for monetization purposes with telemetry used by developers to ensure the health of production systems is foolish and harmful.

Homebrew is a complex system that can break in lots of ways, and it’s being developed on an entirely open source basis, with no company behind it.

Having some visibility into the operation of a running system is table stakes. You’re asking the developers donating their time to this very useful project to tie a hand behind their back because you are paranoid.

More often than not, if people like you got their way OSS software just wouldn’t be built, or would be taken over by a for profit entity that has much less benign ideas about spyware.

This is literally a story about the homebrew project listening to the community and migrating to privacy-preserving self-hosted analytics. People like you will never be happy, so they should be entirely ignored.
At no point did I say I wanted to treat crime through a disease model so your "shallow pretense" dismissal feels out of place.

All I'm saying is that it's pretty obvious jailing criminals is incredibly expensive and not particularly effective at reducing future crime.
It's not black and white. It's both overeating, tendency to prefer unhealthy foods, and unhealthy processed food are just terrible for you for the reasons you've mentioned.

No one becomes obese eating natural food. But no one resorts to natural food if they use food as a coping mechanism either. Then when your body is out of whack, it is really hard to get back to a healthy metabolism, if not healthy weight. The idea that your gut flora triggers particular food cravings, for example, is still not common knowledge, so we hear dietary and nutritional nonsense spread by misinformed GPs and online articles.

Technically they fall under Recital 49 of the GDPR with the unofficial title of "overriding legitimate interest", and is not under the general paragraphs of legitimate interest. Security is explicit and spelled out in the regulation.

(49) The processing of personal data to the extent strictly necessary and proportionate for the purposes of ensuring network and information security, i.e. the ability of a network or an information system to resist, at a given level of confidence, accidental events or unlawful or malicious actions that compromise the availability, authenticity, integrity and confidentiality of stored or transmitted personal data, and the security of the related services offered by, or accessible via, those networks and systems, by public authorities, by computer emergency response teams (CERTs), computer security incident response teams (CSIRTs), by providers of electronic communications networks and services and by providers of security technologies and services, constitutes a legitimate interest of the data controller concerned.

This could, for example, include preventing unauthorised access to electronic communications networks and malicious code distribution and stopping 'denial of service' attacks and damage to computer and electronic communication systems.
It is notable that vitamin D is the only vitamin supplement the NHS recommends for general use - at least during winter months.
Let’s say I have a population of 100 people, and let’s say two of them get heart disease from a genetic risk of heart disease from low vitamin D, and the other 98 of them get heart attacks from any of the other numerous causes of heart disease.

You could give vitamin D to all those 100 people and vitamin D would appear to do nothing. Unless of course she one of the two people that it did work for.

So can you see how these randomized controlled trials of nutritional supplementation’s are useless for any individual?

I don’t care how vitamin D affect a population, I care how it affects me.
What has increased are suicides, especially among girls. Which is something I actually would blame social media for.
No, our standards shouldn't be that low that we accept blurry covers. It's likely a good quality proxy of the content though. Attention to details is often important.
Robert F. Kennedy has also been making statements against videogames. Quite disconcerting that we still have to listen to this after the mountain of data proving the opposite. And also that these are coming from supposedly progressive politicians.
If we've learned one thing about education over the years it's that past a certain point more funding doesn't help. Improving educational outcomes requires at least 2 things that the article mentions:

1. Engaged parents.

2. Social Norms that normalize learning behaviours.

Parent's can control the first directly and the second indirectly by "choosing" a non public school option or moving to a district that has the proper norms.

Charter schools are one of a class of escape hatches that less advantaged parents can choose in order to impact the second factor for their child. I strongly believe that these escape hatches should exist for the Parents who can't easily move or choose a private option. Improving education outcomes for the children of those parents who do care requires giving them tools to support their children whether the environment itself does or does not.

It seems unfair to force those parents to fail just because their community is failing around them.
I think it is. Part of liberalism is seeing all people as worthy of compassion and help, even if they're not closely related to you. While the contrasting tendency in conservatism is to help people closer to / more similar to us and protect ourselves from outsiders who we do not understand, may not benefit from our help, or may even exploit us. Both of these tendencies are valid and adaptive in different situations, they're just different and at least somewhat in opposition. Do you disagree?
I agree with the premise. Stories are powerful and can be used to effectively cage us into thinking in terms of simple lines ( and unable to see that there are multiple other outcomes ). Some stories are more potent than others. Some resonate more than others, but everyone recognizes their power.

The question naturally becomes why, all of a sudden, New Yorker would want to put a spotlight on this? Did the stories become a tool that has been used all too often? Did the wrong person harness the power of the story? Are wrong stories circling around?
Typically for devices like this there are off-device authentication options such as “enter the code ABCD on aka.ms/xba” or you can always fallback to magic link which still doesn’t require storing a password. Passwords won’t be going anywhere anytime soon, but it’s good to have other options in the works.

Dude. Are you for real right now?

I work with data all day and have for 20+ years. I *STRONGLY PREFER* to develop my code in a UI and then later deploy it to the production infrastructure via CLI/API. I just cannot possibly fathom how you could seriously tell someone working with data that they should interact with their systems in a CLI/API way all the time; it just doesn't make any sense whatsoever, unless you are dealing with queries and their results that are not at all complex.

There is a place and a time for both paradigms and to suggest that we should direct someone away from their preferred use case is really over the top.
Someone just told me about a construction business practice:

- Hire 5 guys, on the books.

- Those guys each bring 5 guys, off the books. (illegal immigrants)

- Those 5 guys on the books get paid for all 25 guys and distribute it within their team.

It's a bit sad to hear about this sort of thing happening, but it seems all too common in business.

That same person told me about another story-- regarding quality:

- At another job site, the company had a new project manager. The new PM approved moving forward into a new phase of the project without plans (plans didn't arrive by the time contractor arrived). The contractor of that project build something incorrectly (as you'd expect) due to lack of coordination with other contracting teams (i.e. lack of plans). The result: $1-2 mil worth of work needing to get fixed.
Could* imply that.

I think it would make more sense if they called it:

* Windows Android subsystem

* Windows Linux subsystem

People get this idea that northern US must be at a high latitude just because it is cold in winter, and it simply isn't true. The 49th parallel roughly matches the latitude of Paris, London, Brussels, Munich, Prague or Vienna.

The problem isn't that you won't get enough sunlight if you lay down naked in the sun, the problem is that you can't because it is too cold.
Can't publish a paper with no findings so they add "might reduce". By the same logic it "Might" increase all cause mortality or might increase lung cancer incidence. Trash study.

I'm not sure whether you're unaware or just feigning ignorance, but notebooks are frequently used to share partial results, often in the context of "research", however you may interpret it. Imagine a grad student or data scientist preparing some code and plots to show during a weekly meeting.

In this context, the only thing that matters is quick progress and advancing understanding of a problem. The highly loaded words you employ while blasting the idea of uploading Jupyter notebooks are not relevant here. Wasting time on these things is seen as a bad thing. It's clear why someone using notebooks this way would want the interaction with Git and GitHub to be as seamless as possible: uploading something to GitHub is a very easy way to share it, even if this isn't the platonic ideal.

It will probably cause you some pain, but I've known people to commit binary objects and PDFs to git to accomplish the same ends. ;-)
