...the whole reason why HN is what HN is, is that it's not dedicated to a particular subject. I can read HN and come across news about some new research in the biomedical field that my gf who's in this field can come across by reading the news sources in her field, if the news is noteworthy enough.

There magic of HN is that it's general enough but not 100% general, and at the same time keeps a good enough signal/noise ratio for everyone. No other site I know does this as well!
They actually could've done it in 4 shake down missions. Apollo 10 was under fuelled for fear the team might attempt to land on the moon before Apollo 11 to achieve the record. They did everything except for the actual moon landing portion of the mission.

Most people I meet don't have the same interests as I do, and many are also very shallow that I really don't want to hang out with them.

You sound like you've had some bad experiences with books. If you learn better with lectures, great. However, it's not for everybody -- I personally think spending time away from the computer (until I'm programming something), with a book, paper and a pen is very good time spent.

I would recommend diving in with wild abandon, Ie. don't be afraid of the heavy sounding math, Ghrist does a great job of holding your hand.

This field is called "Applied Topology" and is distinct from manifold learning, IIUC.

The photo from the article has a mention of "barcodes":

The fascinating this about all of this is how topological (connectivity) information is extracted from messy data.
Overall this engine has brought great prosperity. A company makes a lot of money when an external group of people find its services valuable so they keep giving this company money. A "job" is a way for you to be productive for other humans. This is primary, everything else secondary. Take joy in this fact of being useful. Being paid is a sufficient condition - for everything else there is family, friends, hobbies, pubs etc. An unprofitable company may have "happy employees" ignoring this fact but ultimately, society at large decided to allocate demand to other companies whose services and products society found more valuable. So, I don't know why an unproductive division consisting of people feel entitled to resources from everybody else? The end result of this is lay-offs. A company that doesn't trim down when demand goes down is jeopardizing everybody else's job. You end up like France & Italy, with bloated unproductive companies, or even worse, Greece, eventually bankrupting the whole country. This is far more pathological. On the other hand, breaking the law is breaking the law. Some companies - more accurately, people in them break the law, and should be held responsible.

I understand that layoffs are traumatic and put people in hardship. The correct way to solve this problem is a social safety net, free and universal healthcare & education, and access to new opportunities via specialized training. The wrong way to solve it is force companies to retain people.

In other words, we can all help unemployed people by paying more taxes to transfer resources to them to get them back on their feet. But people of course don't like that idea.

I vote for fluid labor markets for an efficient economy + strong social safety net.

>Also, it is probably reasonable to assume the same "morals" the kept a group of hunter gatherers together are today responsible to racism and hate between groups.

Good point. It's important to remember that evolution (including of the cultural variety) ultimately selects for survival. If group A is super happy and peaceful, and group B is unhappy and violent, if group B uses its capacity for violence to conquer group A then ultimately it will be group B's genetic/cultural traits that survive into the future.
Andrew Ng himself said that he was inspired from the ideas that Jeff Hawkins put forth in his book "On Intelligence" which could explain some of the similarities with Deep Learning [1]. But honestly, event still, Deep Learning doesn't seem to model many of the understood principles of the neocortex at all. I read a relatively recent paper by Andrew Ng [2] about Deep Learning optimized for GPU and though it resembles some of the hierarchical aspects of the neocortex, it doesn't really go any further.

I recommend that, if you're interested, you read the [3] CLA white paper for more details but the main difference I see is that the CLA tries to model the concept of storing as sparse distributed representations by modeling neocortical columns. The problem there is that even today, neuroscientists don't agree on any one theory of its structure and function. And frankly the CLA's theory neocortical columns seems to be the most sane. This is based on some of [4] Gerard Rinkus's research on the functions of neocortical columns.

Basically, in my opinion, there is A LOT more neuroscience in HTM-CLA then there is in Deep Learning. And I'm pretty sure that Deep Learning will converge on much of the concepts put forth by the CLA. It really shouldn't be seen as a competition in the first place I suppose, but the theories in AI and theoretical neuroscience are converging pretty fast already.

Actually net migration is negative for California within the United States -- 93,915 more people are leaving California for other US states than arriving there. Now, immigration, generally from poor countries, is still flowing through California but that does not mean that California is a more desirable place to live or raise a family in the middle-class, compared to other U.S. states.

I honestly don't know why we need corporations at all. All they do is make a small number of rich people richer. I'd be happy to see the corporation phazed out in favor of cooperatives.
I talked about this some more in http://www.open-std.org/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/papers/2014/n399... Q17. Many people have asked for such syntax, but I am wary of adding more complexity to the Core Language. Ultimately, I believe that this should be handled on the range side instead of the element side. What Evolution/Core needs to do is to fix the problem with nested temporaries in range-for loops - the problem (affecting both C++11's range-for and mine) is that range-for will keep temporary ranges alive if they're the topmost thing returned, but not if you have "const T& noop(const T&)" and you try to loop over noop(return_temporary_range()). They're aware of the problem, which is a start. If and when that's fixed, then what you want can be handled through library tech: "for (elem : as_const(range))".
If you take 3% more away from a million+ earner, they don't spend less on personal luxuries. They spend less on investment.

So that is 3% that is not being spent on expanding production. (i.e. "Making the economic pie bigger.")

Yes, the government will spend the money somewhere else, but typically it will go almost entirely to consumption, instead. That is redistributing the pie, rather than growing it.

Note that growing the pie lowers the cost of things, so it inherently benefits everyone. There is no such thing as growing the pie and only benefiting the rich.

In fact, not growing the pie disproportionately hurts the less well off. While the rich forego investments, the poor forego things that actually make their lives better.
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but it seems very likely that you are not highly appreciated by your new boss. He is probably hoping you quit; he's not doing anything to encourage you to stay. I doubt he will offer much in the way of a raise to keep you on.

In a situation like this, the fact that you are infrequently on site has probably contributed to your ending up on the short side of the stick wrt office politics. You have likely missed important social cues related to the new boss' style and expectations. You have not been physically present to make sure you get credit for your work, and to counteract any negative karma that might have been thrown your way.

No it's not exactly fair, but employment is generally 'at will', there is no guarantee of fairness or bulwark against capricious or petty treatment.

I agree. It would be very useful to conveniently have HN, reddit, etc comments already there when I visit the site. Then I could comment on those.

On the other hand it should automatically submit the link to my preferred site, e.g. HN, and post my comment, thus creating a new source for comments.

Maybe something like this already exists?

No not really. I didn't read anything in his statement that indicated he wanted to nationalize all the things. Maybe he just wants a better arrangment. The corporation isn't something that arises from the natural order of the universe. It's an arangement designed by the government. I would like it if they phased out that arrangement in favor of cooperatives. Just like a corporation you would be free to quit, but you'd be less likely to want to and less likely to be treated like overhead.

>Even if working makes you happy, having enough money that you don't need to work gives you a huge amount of leverage and freedom that will allow you to turn down work that isn't conducive to your happiness.

Lets think about that for a minute. Unless you're already filthy rich, getting enough money to not work requires a particular skillset. Lets say you're only moderately lucky and are exceedingly good, and that it takes you 5 years to get your fat stacks out of a company you put blood sweat and tears into. Disregarding that you statistically have a relatively small chance of that happening, you come out of the tunnel in 5 years, and what do you do with the rest of your life now? Well, all of your skillset is based around your business. You probably don't have a ton of things that give your fulfillment outside of that business. So what do you do, start at square one? Learn how to play the bongos or just go out and search for the real meaning of life? Or do what you've trained your whole life to do, what has given you the most meaning so far? I say you'll more likely become addicted to that feeling of mastery, and more than likely you'll be on the board of another startup or whatever you like, because you felt a lot more fulfilled when you were disrupting the world than being a person who's bad at playing bongos.
I'm pretty glad we use C++ in enterprise development (and extra glad we use C++11) ;) There are barely any other languages which can replace it yet. Rust is a good candidate.
> ... and had a real time video chat with her

I'm not sure that's a particularly inspiring example of technology progress.

In 1999 video conferencing over the Internet was already a reality, though it was very low quality. I know we tried it in work around that time. Skype launched in 2003 and basically solved that problem.

So in the next 11 years the main development was in wireless networking, which was basically a refinement of military datalinks which had been in service at least since the AN/ARR-39 of 1956.
I learnt to code sometime in middle school(grade 6 summer). The dot com boom was taking place during then and my parents figured that the Web would be the next big thing and pushed me into learning web development. I never really explored beyond making a couple of funny sites for my personal kicks until grade 12 when I had to figure out how to pay for university. I did a couple of small gigs here and there that helped me pay part of my way through.

I was enrolled in a co-op program, so you study for 4 months and then work in a real job for 4 months and that repeats until you graduate. This was probably the most helpful thing that helped me learn more and earn more while doing so. By third year, I became competent enough to be able to easily build full stack real world apps. I have to mention though, getting here meant working for multiple startups during my coop term. Hence, taking a cut in pay compared to my peers for the chance to do more and learn more.

June last year, I met Brian who is a data nerd and has a mind full of cool ideas and together we co-founded MetricWire, which we are running to this day.
Ask HN: Any cool projects made with Swift?
Have you made/seen any cool projects made with Swift?
If you can avoid making it an adversarial situation, that may help. Make it obvious to them that you feel like you're a very valuable employee, that you are very productive for them and losing three hours/day on a commute is just wasting either your time or theirs. You'll be most productive when you're happy, not with the drudgery of an big drive twice a day.

Can they make an exception for your being in the office, or make it a day per week or something like that? I agree with someone else who said that three hours/day driving wouldn't be worth whatever they're likely to offer.

You have worked there for two years, without a single raise. And you make the lowest amount for this position.

This is a good thing and a bad thing -
Good thing: since it is the lowest amount for this position, you have an upper hand. Its difficult (and costly) for them to replace you.

Bad thing - why did you not get a raise and why you are at that lower end - does it have something to do with your performance, or is it just some crappy office politics keeping your pay down?

If you performed well you deserve to get a raise - at least to compensate for the move to office. So definitely ask for it.

Also, do you go to office for 1-2 weeks in a period of about 6 months or so - It is also important to get a feel of your office environment if you all were not a completely remote team.
The gas card will pay for gas. It won't pay for wear and tear on your car and the 2 hours (possibly much more, depending on traffic) that you're going to lose every single workday.

Look at it this way: you're trading your time for their money. You're going to increase your job-related time expenditure by 25% or more (if you normally spend 8 hours working), plus incurring car expenses. It's going to take a hefty raise to make up for that.

I agree with several of the others: it's probably time to look for a new job.

The evidence given by the article (job growth numbers) is insufficient to prove whether the tax hike killed jobs or not. It's quite possible that the effect is negative, as claimed by taxpayers associations, but that it's small, so the larger positive effect of the current tech boom dominates the total.

A good economist would try to hold more things constant to tease out whether the effect exists. Maybe break down the job growth numbers by area of the state (not all areas are in a tech boom, but all would face the same state tax policy). Or break it down by industry (have non-tech companies lost jobs?). Or break it down by size of company (since the opponents claimed that small businesses would be particularly hard hit).

> After the leaks, however, there was a lot of attention focused on NIST and these changes

There were people (myself included) complaining about this to NIST prior to the Snowden leaks.

SHA-256 pre-image == collision resistance property and there are many cryptographic protocols (e.g. hash based signatures) where pre-image security is much more important than collision security, and where the additional size of being forced to switch to a 512-bit hash function would result in burdensome communications overheads, just to keep the same formal security as SHA-256 (while staying in a standard hash function).

There is a lot more complexity in this subject in that some of the candidates chose to not meet the security requirements for these performance reasons (e.g. cubehash) and were rejected for that reason. Had the goal been something with N/2 security across the board all along the designs and choices from all the candidates would have likely been pretty different.

There are times when having an English word for "no, well– yes, but I don't know why you'd want to" would be very useful. It'd have to be pretty short to save breath every time a computer scientist must answer the question, "But is it a systems programming language?"
The process you're referring to (bringing suit for misrepresentation in a DMCA takedown request) is not commonly invoked. It doesn't need optimization.

> But there is a more interesting point here. If we stipulate that Simpson's paradox is at work here, and we stipulate that Pichette is interested in communicating clearly to the shareholders, would he not have the fiduciary duty to disclose the confounding variable?

I checked out the transcript, and it turns out I was mis-remembering the context of the mention of Simpson's paradox: it was with respect to a question along the lines of "Why is the aggregate CPC growth higher than both the network and the Google Sites"? It would of course be comically absurd for a CFO to mention Simpson's Paradox and not say what the confounding variable is, and even more ridiculous for nobody else on the call to ask him to clarify. In context, the variable was the network/Google sites split.
I assume you're aware, but for the general audience: Every bit of memory on space shuttles was an individual physical bead stored in a hand-woven wire grid, with memory contents stored as magnetic orientation. This style of storage was the only available at the time, but continued through the 80's for robustness. No power to maintain memory, and practically immune to bit-flips caused by cosmic radiation.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_core_memory

The article states that the price of a single bit varied from $1 to $0.01 USD over the product lifetime. I would assume that NASA paid extra for higher reliability. 17 cents for a single bit is well within the cost range of a single bit, and a reasonable estimate for that time period.

... jesus tap-dancing christ, a whole dollar for a single BIT? Wolfram|Alpha says that a dollar in 1955 would be worth almost $9 today. The memory in my desktop would be worth more than the GDP of all but 10 US states o_0
