I would use DDG for image searches, but it doesn't want to work without javascript. In fact, images.duckduckgo.com seems to block duckduckgo.com in robots.txt. It's kinda a disaster,

Well there's your problem. Valley pricing. You can get Sr Devs much cheaper than that. Then you can afford to train up some juniors.

I don't think that's the real problem though. Companies want you to take the risk/expense of learning a technology that might be obsolete next year. They'll pay you back in salary if you lucked up and mastered the right stack. If you didn't, then you keep eating ramen until you strike gold.

The other problem is most Sr.s don't want a Jr. coming in and making negative contributions. Sr.s are frequently the ones doing the interviews. They see most Jr.s as "What's a computer?" level talent that will start fires in production systems.

I can be hacked by malware which can leak secrets from air gapped, Faraday caged machines. Therefore, I should put my billion dollar idea on the public cloud and just trust Google.

How would you ever know if they did? People who worked at Google have been accused, by Google, of stealing the entire self driving car program and taking it to a competitor.

This URL isn't on the TPU beta signup page. The Google TOS is. Perhaps you can see the confusion? I would be reluctant to trust random 37 karma guy on Hacker News message board on this particularly important consideration.

>If TPUs hold up to the hype, GCloud may become the de facto for ML/AI startups.

Don't startups want to win a big exit though? Google won't need to buy the startup for billions, because the TOS already grants them permission to use all the models and training data for free. Seems like a Faustian bargain to me.

Reading the TOS it seems like this is a really great deal for Google:

"When you upload, submit, store, send or receive content to or through our Services, you give Google (and those we work with) a worldwide license to use, host, store, reproduce, modify, create derivative works (such as those resulting from translations, adaptations or other changes we make so that your content works better with our Services), communicate, publish, publicly perform, publicly display and distribute such content. The rights you grant in this license are for the limited purpose of operating, promoting, and improving our Services, and to develop new ones."

All your training data are belong to us.

We can use your models to improve ours.

The terms will prevent me from using it. I can't grant Google permission to redistribute HIPAA PHI.

Not true at all.

The back pops off just like a Galaxy S3. The battery itself is not just removable, it also charges wirelessly. Micro SD and of course a headphone jack. It was also the first quad core LTE on the market.

Isn't Twilio a large source of spam from long numbers? I think this is less cut and dry than Twilio makes it out to be. Hopping on the Net Neutrality bandwagon when this doesn't have anything to do with Net Neutrality makes Twilio seem slimy here.

If you want to send messages in bulk, the process is, get a short code, pass carrier testing, then your messages are received. Twilio needs to implement something like complaint feedback, similar to what AWS does for email. If someone reports a message back to code 7726 (SPAM), there's no way to know that. Twilio is big enough that they could work with carriers instead of demanding carriers open the gates to any/every message.

>Prove it! I'm not American

LOL

You just discredited yourself. Everybody speeds in the US. To the point that obeying the speed limit can be quite dangerous in some cases.

Therefore, both men and women are speeding, but men are taking greater risks, speeding more. That's a problem, because a small increase in speed produces a large increase in kinetic energy. It's velocity squared:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kinetic_energy

The men are profiting by having a greater willingness to put their passengers and other drivers on the road in fatal danger. They are all breaking the law, but the men are more brazen about it.

Uber should solve this, because it is a serious problem. If you only look at the payment aspect, that is demonstrably easy to solve. Pay women more. Very easy.

If you want to solve the root problem, and not a symptom of the problem, then Uber needs to tackle the problem of drivers speeding. Automatic reporting of speeders is one approach. Another is to remove drivers from the pool of available drivers for any ill gotten time they gained by breaking the law. Save one minute with your fare because you drove 80MPH in a 70MPH zone on the freeway? Then make the driver invisible in app for one minute (or more) after dropping off the fare. There should be some cost imposed for breaking the law proportional to how fast the driver was going.

Frankly, society has a cost assigned to this already. They're called speeding tickets, and I see Uber drivers who should get them regularly.

What will Uber do when they switch to autonomous cars? Make the robots speed too? Given their willingness to break the law so brazenly as a company, I would not be surprised if this is what they do.

Savings accounts are not a popular way to save.

An hour in the car is an hour in the car. It's the same amount of time. I'm not saying that women spend more hours in the car than men. Don't be deliberately obtuse.

According to the paper, 50% of the wage gap is due to driving speed alone. The conclusion is that men are speeding more frequently than women. To level the playing field, all speeders could be auto reported to the proper authorities.

Or, you know, just pay women more. It's a non-technical solution which requires no programming.

Personally, I'd like to see Uber speeders reported/ticketed automatically. Uber is hiding evidence of institutionalized crime from the authorities, again. It's an old story at this point.

Women are making less money driving the same amount of time. The easiest fix is to pay women more. The technical fix is to auto report speeders (mostly men) to the cops for automated tickets. Since we're all about upholding the law here, Uber knows they are speeding and putting people at risk for a few bucks. Uber should report them to the authorities for proper penalties.

LineageOS iPhone when? It would be interesting to see iPhone hardware running a better OS.

And paying women less is legal?

https://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/equalcompensation.cfm

"The Equal Pay Act requires that men and women in the same workplace be given equal pay for equal work."

"If there is an inequality in wages between men and women, employers may not reduce the wages of either sex to equalize their pay."

Seems pretty straightforward. Pay has to be equal. Can't lower wages. Therefore, pay women more. Easy as pie.

>I don't see how you could do this without rewarding inefficiency and inexperience.

It's easy though. Just pay women more. Uber can take a smaller cut of your pay if you have two x chromosomes.

Another approach would be to allow passengers to chose their driver's gender. More passengers will chose female over male drivers.

>Be mindful of which extensions you install.

That sounds an awful lot like "Be careful what email attachments you open." Blaming the user never worked out then either.

I want to like it, but all the firmware is closed. No sale.

Working 70 hrs a week is a signal to me that one is not competent. Computers work for me, not the other way around. As for the people with "bullshit jobs" I assume they do it because of imposter syndrome. The only other category I can think of is doctors, doing it because there's literally no one else who can save a life. That's a management/credentialism issue.

Amazon Fulfillment centers are cold calling cell phones with employment advertising. That's a $1,500 fine _per call_ under the TCPA. These poor people shouldn't apply to work for pay, they should contact a lawyer and get paid. Amazon is flagrantly breaking the law. Easy money.

Alibaba did $25.3B on singles day, for comparison.

>Immediately stop using 56, downgrade to the LTS or upgrade to 57

58 is the fixed version.

>I get the feeling a fair few HN readers don't keep their browsers up to date for whatever reason.

That's because 57 was a complete dumpster fire. It broke all the add ons. Little wonder people would not update. I was a happy FF user for years. My solution was to dump FF and move on, but I know there are still a lot of people clinging to 56/52 like debris from a shipwreck. Anyone who points this out is granted invisibility powers on HN, so I can see how you would be unaware of this.

Will Snapchat also be required to collect names and addresses?

But the point is, for $3M I can fund George Hotz and have an entry in the self driving car arena. For nothing, I can go grab open source code and be a small percentage away from the absolute state of the art.

How do companies justify such a tiny edge as being worth so much? I wish Andrew Ng the best. I do. He's a class act. I enjoyed his course years ago, but came away a little disappointed. At the end, I realized there's no intelligence in the algorithms. It's all just applied statistics and a lot of sweat preparing training data.

Maybe I should just shut up and vie for some of the easy money sloshing around. I think I would just feel weird asking for a ton of cash when the end product is just a bit of recursive math.

The amount of money in this field puzzles me. The difference between relative novice and competition winner on kaggle.com is often in the single digit percentages or less. When 26 year old George Hotz can build his own self driving car in his garage, it seems like a very narrow moat.

This is similar to the old eBay scam where the seller bid on his own items under a different account. If the price was too low, the seller could always bid to drive the price up. If the seller won, it didn't matter. The seller is just relisting the item again after paying himself or cancelling.

I can't imagine how anyone thought this would work; Google participating in their own auctions. At least on eBay, sellers tried to hide the fact that the game was rigged.
