There are two pieces Kaggle can't help you with: working through the full research cycle and developing performant models. It also emphasizes the wrong goals (for example error minimization is almost never your primary goal), but I need to work at some point and have spent enough time in this thread, so I'll skip that. :P Email me if you want to discuss, though.

Anyway Kaggle can't help with the full research cycle, since you're not identifying a relevant question yourself (this is surprisingly hard) or presenting your answer to others. The latter is hard for any route, since you really only encounter that type of volume in industry.

My major disappointment with SO is how we lost the desire to be helpful and ended up with the desire to be "correct".

There are many questions that I would find helpful that get instantly closed because they are "not constructive". I'd like to hear my peers opinions on the respective merits of the latest javascript frameworks but that's "not constructive" so it gets shut down.
I like to help people so I occasionally decipher weird English and try to work out what they need.... too often my submission of my reply is then blocked because the question has been closed.
I dislike their rules about posting to jsfiddle (you must post enough code in SO for the question to stand alone).
I dislike the cliquey and "current" aspect of meta. if you're late to the party then you've missed the discussion and we've already decided.
I'm happy to take the karma hit I'll get for this, but IMO this is emblematic of a large problem with HN, i.e. asinine bike-shedding. I address an unhelpful nitpicking comment and get a nitpicking reply. It's turtles all the way down.
This comment reminds me of the Simpson's Treehouse of Horror episode where an omnipotent Bart is forcing Crusty to perform 24 hours a day.

He made people happy for a decade (and longer with reruns and memories) and you've decided he's an asshole for not doing it for longer.

I think that's harsh - ultimately you're saying you want him to do work he isn't happy with and causes him stress for your entertainment.
P.S. This is a hint, I signed up yesterday but haven't received access yet. Here's hoping I get the beta email today and not in a month.

When I sign up I'm attempting to test it out now, on "my time". When access is delayed by a month testing it is on "whenever I get to it time" and generally just falls by the wayside. Hopefully this is meaningful feedback in and of itself.
Yes, and he very likely was aware of the issue back in 1995. In an article about him, someone mentioned: "It used to be that 'you did it forever, no matter what the quality was,' says Moore, who doubles as a Times news editor. 'The new camp [of cartoonists] says that when the quality of the strip starts diminishing, you get out of the business.'" (http://articles.latimes.com/1995-11-16/news/ls-3760_1_bill-w...)

His "resignation letter" was naturally too short to contain his complex thoughts on the subject.
You get used to noise is my guess. My dad grew up in New Haven in the 40s across from a fire house. When he moved out to the suburbs, he had trouble sleeping at first because it was too quiet.
Anything by Will Glozer requires an upvote in my book.

In the Hamdi v. Rumsfeld case, the SCOTUS ruled that US citizens have the right to due process. So that ruling actually sets a precedent for this law being unconstitutional.
Most of them are small time producers who probably aren't worth tracing and going after - Waterson hated them though.
If nothing else, this story is a fantastic example of great startup PR.
Outsourcing, of course, always saves money,

Um, no it doesn't. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't. Your mileage may vary. It was this thinking that led to all sorts of idiotic outsourcing deals in the early 2000s where businesses discovered there are many scenarios where outsourcing increases costs.

We've gotten a lot smarter since then but statements like this make me bristle.
Am I the only one to think that this is pretty boring?

This is a clever PR move by TaskUs. Rather than emailing Pando and saying "Look how popular we are", like everyone does, they said "Look how few of our many happy customers want to talk publicly about us."

Anytime you can give them something more interesting than a story about users or funding, it's more likely to be covered and more likely to resonate with readers, [edit: I think].
You know... this remark got me thinking, and it turns we've been here before as a society, with remarkably similar technology (superficially, at least) and technologists hyping it up a little. Look up Beach Pneumatic Transit - the first New York City subway, in a tube, powered by compressed air. Which is kind of cool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beach_Pneumatic_Transit

"A tube, a car, a revolving fan! Little more is required. The ponderous locomotive, with its various appurtenances, is dispensed with, and the light aerial fluid that we breathe is the substituted motor!" -- http://www.columbia.edu/~brennan/beach/chapter2.html

Trains in tubes and promises of dramatic changes in the way people think of transportation! People thought they would be building tubes all over the countryside to move trains around... and then they went and invented the electric-multiple-unit subway train which took off instead. :P

Better luck this time?
Seconded on number 3. Interviewers feel that you are more engaged and interested in the opportunity at hand if you're asking questions.

Having a few 'set' ones, like ?culture, in your back pocket is good in case you get flummoxed on the spot, but you'll probably get a pretty generic answer from 'tell me about your company culture'.

Use your question time to really probe about something important to you. If culture is it, follow a general ask with something specific:
"You mentioned that you're a team that likes to 'work smart'. I think that is awesome, as I feel like it's a mindset that tends to be undervalued. Can you tell me more about how you see this play out in practice?"
Unless your ReadByte function does something different than what the function you call assumes it does.

For example, it might have different behaviour in edge cases (end of file, I/O exception). One could call that bad architecture, but one could not even be aware of the existence of the broader interface that has a ReadByte member function, or one could (IMO rightfully) think the difference does not matter of you call a method taking an argument of interface type that does not include ReadByte.

In the absolutely worst case, it does something completely unrelated to what Read does. Unlikely? Yes, but it might be part of a badly factored class that also has code for reading from an A/D converter.
I think we only do that here because it's so rare when it does go over 20 degrees, it's always time for a celebration :)

Having said that, England is currently enjoying one of the best and longest heat waves we've had in years. I'm just thankful I work from home, most offices would frown on me showing up for work in just my pants.
The pressure (also density) maximum is the velocity maximum.

Shouldn't you put the front of the craft at the pressure minimum and the back of the craft at the pressure maximum? Then the wave would be pushing you along.
Yeah, it become clear tweet after tweet, that his obsession is something like: "GitHub is a tool to steal developers".
IMAP, with enhancements like:

3. advanced search and saved search queries supported natively

Also, an implementation better than Gmail's which does not have arbitrary limits on bandwidth/data used and number of connections.

During tourist season here in DC I often think something along the lines of "Is this the first escalator these folks have ever seen?".

The Business Side Of Building Your API Platform
I'd like to see Eno do a show with naught but one ipad. I think Reactable is basically a toy and as for the Tenori-on.. I don't know if you've ever played one, but it was kind of terrible.. I think it probably would do better as an app than a discrete physical device though. It looked cool and novel, but the build quality was poor and the interface actually wasn't worthwhile, it was a toy. It's so much easier to address tone using a keyboard, and you don't need a crazy 16x16 grid to address time. A linear array of 16 buttons, any of which you can hold to address a specific point in time, and then manipulate that point in time by pressing keys on a keyboard or turning encoders to set parameters works very well.

Samplr looks cool, but I don't actually see the capability. Controllerists hack together things like this in PureData, Max/MSP, and Reaktor all the time. Just watching the video, the issue of the finger covering the display is huge. I see him changing parameters that are tightly clustered by pressing on them and then sliding his finger left and right. So.. the nearby parameters are inaccessible when doing this? What happens when my hands get sweaty?

I think touch screens have their uses but they simply don't replace tactile controls. Having an integrated computer and screen that can present a large amount of information is itself a huge advancement. The overly touch-centric UI is a regression, in this musician's opinion. I see a lot of novelty, but I've yet to see anything that I personally would even consider bringing onto the stage. Keys work, knobs work, faders work, decoupled controls and display work. In all the novelty I don't see any real tools for managing the complexity and demands of live performance, I see complexity added without practical affordances.

Tightly coupling control and display is just not such a great idea and I really don't think it takes much imagination once you remember all of the different sensors and hard input devices that exist to come up with another way of implementing any interface that works well on a touch screen.

I'm more interested in the possibility of apps w/ dedicated controllers, or multipurpose controllers, than I am in the standalone apps. Unfortunately, these devices don't really put configurability very high on their feature sets.

If you haven't done so recently, go play a modern hardware synth or sequencer. Then think about the explosion of possibility that 'desktop'(Which is really a misnomer with laptops and small headless computers on the table) solutions offer... then revisit a tablet app and you'll find yourself asking, as I found myself asking, why do I have to obscure the information with my finger and why is such a large part of my screen given over to taking input?
And when he is asked if the problem should be to keep the employees rather than hide them he added "the subject does not interest me enough to continue the discussion".

I think they mean one level above you in the hierarchy. What are the managers in the company wearing?
Of course it isn’t. It would be very surprising if what they did were substantially different. I think it’s very unlikely that large leaps in productivity are possible. Given the competition, all of these processes already have to be pretty optimised.
However, the ability to avoid staging is also a huge win.

The trailer looks like an OWS supporter took every 1 percenter and anti-immigration trope in the book, added a bunch of explosions and called it a "film".

What the hell is up with that attitude? You're completely missing the point of a welcoming community by closing the door with an RTFM sign. He's writing his own shit but is wondering if there is a library out there already that is better/already does it.

The point of a community is to be helped and then help. You make it sound like you got to where you are by yourself and that's the only _correct_ way. To be frank this attitude has no place in a community.

"Does thing belong here?"

NO. "Are we helping each other?" That's should always be the purpose of any community site and the reciprocation of help is something that has driven every newsgroup, irc channel and community dev sites for DECADES.
So the issue is not that people have to familiarize with the SO process, but rather that the SO process is badly documented.

Maybe a bit circular, but maybe someone should post on SO meta to improve the documentation?
Not sure how it is in Russia, but in my experience the online degree programs are not respected in the United States.
Jimmy Carter just gets more and more awesome.
I believe there is a limit to this. You can't continuously follow someone around making notes on everything they do because at some point you're likely to trigger some type of local harassment or stalking laws. Of which there is a legal recourse to handle this.

What this describes goes beyond that because there's apparently no legal recourse to deal with it. Well, I suppose that may vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
How long would you have to run the centrifuge for? If it were 6-7 times faster, you would have to run a machine nonstop for 10 years. Seems like a tremendous waste of energy, heat from a motor which could affect the results, and a great likelihood of experimental equipment failure.
That irony isn't specific to conservatives. Today's liberals would have hated many of the anti-government founding fathers.
I work in telecom, in a slightly different vein from Twilio's and I deeply empathize with the pain of billing.

Even if Twilio's somehow able to ignore the pain of telco engine rating and least-cost-routing, there are still so many places you can make an error and cause something like this.

Kudos to Rob and team for owning the issue and I hope the Twilio folks get this sorted out (I'm confident they will). It's worth mentioning that I've never seen another billing issue of this size from Twilio so one in 3-4 years isn't too awful. Compared to AT&T it's probably generous! (Facetious but with a grain of truth).

Good luck guys and keep rocking. Here's hoping everything works out.
I learned a lot from the Seattle Longitudinal Study. This diagram basically sums up their findings: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1474018/figure/F...
Also, they mentioned that if you correct for the loss in perceptual speed that comes with age, the drop is not as significant. I interpret this as, "If we give elderly people as much time as they need to take an IQ test, their performance will be relatively close to that of 20-somethings taking the same test under the same conditions." (I may be wrong, but that's what I would like to think.) I also found a study by UVA that is looking for participants, in case anyone is interested: http://faculty.virginia.edu/cogage/
substitute "ends" for "succeeds" if you're feeling pedantic. I think that for a decades long experiment the two words become synonyms.
The whole idea of a wave guide is to trap the energy of the wave inside, so presumably a lot of it would not escape.

There is a thing called tyranny by majority and most of the people who post on meta are mods and have a very specific frame of mind.
Carter told the truth (probably due to his background as an engineer and an actual family-business size businessman). Many people didn't like that.

Carter wanted to do something about the energy crisis and peak oil. Reagan tore down the solar panels (it's symbolic, OK?). Now we have massive debt and an attempt at empire to capture remaining fossil fuel resources, as well as a blossoming police state to wrap a bow around the package.
I obviously can't speak for your company and it's unique situation, but I'm sure there's ways to mitigate and better manage this process.
I think the whole 'poaching' term is hilarious. If you're afraid of 'poaching' you should just... you know... treat your employees with respect and make sure they are happy with their job. If they are they won't get poached. Simple.
>Majority" means over half. The word you're looking for is "plurality".

That will do, yes.

Although:"relative majority (Brit) - the excess of votes or seats won by the winner of an election over the runner-up when no candidate or party has more than 50 per cent.

There is commentary is one of the later books which covers off some of what he was feeling at the time. Reading that I don't think there's much doubt that his dissatisfaction was with the constraints of working as a commercial cartoonist rather than anything that would change between Calvin and Hobbes and another cartoon.
That's because they drop any case that they have a chance of losing, since it reflects poorly on them.
No. No love for you.
Keep in mind that in ye olden days, you had bigger families in smaller spaces.

Today, we universally have water, electricity and cool places to go. If your AC breaks or you're really feeling uncomfortable, you can always stop into any store and take your time shopping while cooling off. In those days, you had no relief.

Another factor is sanitation. People in urban environments did not shower -- they used public bathhouses once a week. The streets were smellier and grimier from coal, dirty diesel, etc.

Think of the misery of being in a two tiny rooms with six other hot, sweaty, smelly and grumpy people.

Android is used on more than just smartphones. There are many tablets that don't have cell radios in them.
I think you're arguing a point no one made. This entire subthread is just about why the iPhone does not do well in the Russian market. And so far, everyone agrees it's because the full cost of the iPhone is more expensive than the alternatives.
This might be the second time I've said this in two days but...

So it's a git post-receive hook that parses a YML and starts your app?

In all seriousness though there have been a lot of businesses that are evolving out of this relatively easy to do push-to-deploy mentality. The ability spin up new servers on demand is kind of nice but ultimately doesn't save me much in the way of overhead when I can already set up a new AMI with the push-to-deploy mechanisms already built into it with just a few clicks. Why should I use your product when I can set up the same thing manually in under 10 minutes?

I applaud your effort and I also think you've done a bang up job at packaging it and I really like that you support so many hosting environments (that is your key differentiator here) but I hate to see too many people dump a lot of time into heroku-style deployments. This was a solved problem even before heroku came around and it seems many of these new variations are just saturating the market which drives down the value.

Although having said that, I'll be honest, I'm very jaded on this topic. Also I'm not your target customer at the end of the day because I have a decent understanding of how this works behind the scenes having built similar deployment mechanisms into just about every project I've worked on in the last 4 years manually.

My advice is that you need to differentiate yourself with up front feature based value. Your compatibility with many hosting providers is a really nice feature, but all it gives me up front is the confidence to know I can move to a cheaper competitor if I don't like how it's going. Focus on some upfront feature based value differentials and I think you'll do pretty well in this market if you focus on private enterprise.
