I have seen that happen before, but only when the domain was inherently complex. An example I actually committed; for a variety of reasons I needed a continuation driven LL(1) parser for my PhD thesis, and I needed it to be in Java. I wrote this as a Scheme program that output Java code. I tried hard to make things understandable (since I had to debug all of it!) but the Java code was basically incomprehensible and the Scheme program that generated it required some relatively sophisticated understandings of parser theory to understand the notation I was using.

A good theoretical example is: imagine trying to understand what a CPS driven compiler is doing with no understanding of CPS. That would be pretty hard in any language, and it's actually better in Lisp because you can express things closer to the theory.

As with everything, buy what you like, not what you think you should like or what you think other people like. I'm lucky that I live in a state with a lot of wine makers so I get to buy excellent wines for single digit prices. Even so, if you're spending more than $20 on a bottle of wine all the time then you're probably wasting a lot of money.
I'm sorry, two buck chuck tastes terrible to me. I'm not the kind of person who sits around debating the merits of various wines, but I do like wine and I am somewhat picky. I can't finish a glass of two buck chuck, whether I knew what it was beforehand or not - and both situations happen all the time at parties.

I've read this type of study several times - either I have especially sensitive taste or there is something wrong with the studies because it is simply not true that there is no correlation between taste and price.

Can I tell the difference between a $15 bottle and a $40 bottle? No, I don't taste price. Are as many $15 bottles excellent as $40 bottles? Absolutely not.

One flaw: if you pick a random $40 bottle and a random $15 bottle and ask someone which they like, this is not a valid study. You need to pick a wine that both costs $40 AND IS WORTH $40 and likewise a wine that's WORTH $15. Just because a wine is $90 doesn't mean it's great, but if a wine is $2 it probably sucks.

The correlation is there and pretty strong, particularly when moving from $2 to $8 to $15, but it is not perfect. Price != taste.
Nice, glad to see a broad and diverse environment growing up around Go. Also glad to see that some great ideas from other ecosystems are being adopted.
Most people have to "only" worry about 40 years of accumulating wealth (say, ages 25-65), and then 20 years of decumulation after retirement (65-85, on average).

Don’t assume it’s “too early” for something. I think I could’ve started my kid on a computer much earlier if I’d stopped worrying about it. Kids are shockingly adept at picking up concepts and tools. (Although 9m is probably a bit too early)

Also, don’t worry about it too much. Your kid is going to be whoever they are. My sister (a trained mechanical engineer) did everything she could to get my niece involved in STEM. She decided to pursue a career in dance.

I'm not sure how it works with all processors, but at least many of the ones I'm familiar with have a flat fee that's assessed for each chargeback. Stripe, for example, charges a $15 dispute fee (https://stripe.com/docs/disputes). For many companies, incurring disputes is something to be avoided, and threat of one is enough to warrant bypassing many normal process that exist to stop cancellations / keep people committed.

Very cool vision of the future. I'm trying to imagine more consequences of the price of human labor going negative.

After we free up the surplus material making the humans, there will be far less need for many robot-provided services.

Farming won't be as big of a deal anymore. Many of our modern industries will shrink dramatically. We won't need food, clothing, entertainment, or medical services.

We can expect to keep a contingent of engineers around to service and design the robots until they hit the self-repairing, self-designing level of the singularity recursion.

It seems like a more-or-less plausible jumping off point into a runaway-AI future.
Conversely, the right for citizens to go about their business shouldn't supersede the right for citizens to peaceably assemble. Protesting, marching, and occasionally inconveniencing other people is an integral part of a free society.

I'm not fond of the protesters' decision to block freeways (I'm thinking specifically of the incident in southern California, I wasn't aware of one in Tennessee). I wouldn't do that, and I would discourage other people from doing that.

I might support making the obstruction of major highways into a ticketable offense and gently but firmly removing any protesters there. But, there's no way I would qualify that as "terrorism", and anybody that argued that it was would move me further towards supporting protests on highways.

The social pendulum in the U.S. has swung far too far towards an authoritarian police state. Let's not push it farther by declaring acts of peaceful protest to be "terrorism", no matter how inconvenient they are.

It is a false dilemma.

By losing your privacy you don't get more security. This is the frame the Government(Washington), and the media that depends on Government(like the WP) use so they can benefit from terrorism.

In fact , when you lose your privacy , you lose your security. What happens when the people in power have all the power and no oversight?

Look at Alberto Nisman in Argentina. Look at the Soviet Union for rapist and murderers controlling the police. Nazism in Germany or even the killing of JFK.

Are you safer when you are transparent to them but they are opaque to you?

How a democracy could work where Government operates in absolute secrecy for the people, but people could not hold secrets against the Government?.

The problem then is that proving ergodicity is extremely hard for anything that is not a Markov chain to begin with.

IIRC ergodicity of hard spheres is not yet proved in full generality (n spheres, d dimensions), and that's basically the simplest physical system there is!
Hello, Leo, Optimizely's in-house statistician here. The graph you reference is a schematic to show the differences between Optimizely’s previous statistical platform and Stats Engine. It shows a monotone non-decreasing significance because under our sequential testing framework, the significance value represents the total amount of accumulated evidence against the null hypothesis of no difference between a variation and baseline. This wealth of evidence cannot decrease because you can only get more information about your test as you get more visitors. Of course, it is very possible, as the graph shows, that you will not acquire enough contradictory evidence to reach significance in a reasonable number of visitors. What would have happened if we instead looked continuously at a classical t-test, is the significance would oscillate near the significance threshold. Spurious deviations would cause multiple, contradictory declarations that the test is significant and then not. A savvy A/B tester might wait until the oscillations die down. Sequential testing is a principled, mathematical way to differentiate evidence against the null hypothesis from random oscillations in real time. It should be noted that the chance of a type I error is still controlled at 5%.

You do make a good point that sometimes an A/B test will see regression over time. We have explicitly separated this out because we feel detecting a change in the underlying effect size is different from testing whether the effect is non-zero, and different statistical methods are better suited to one over the other. We have built a policy into our framework that monitors for such temporal effects and signals an A/B test is in a ‘reset’ when we discover them. In our historical database, this happened on about 4% of tests.

I concede all this is a lot to get across in one graph, but we do feel that it is a good representation of how significance behaves under Stats Engine. If you would like to read more about the math behind stats engine, here is a link to a full technical article: http://pages.optimizely.com/rs/optimizely/images/stats_engin...

If such products are created and succeed, it will be because they competed well with their American counterparts. The equivalent Chinese products don't face any competition at all.

This is a great sadness to me. I'm a jazz pianist (not a hobby, but not a profession), and so much of the feel/sound that I learned, I learned from him. He was—without exception—the GOAT. I was just listening yesterday to some improvisation courses he taught on YouTube in 2016. I'm so glad he left us so much. But his voice will be missed.

There's no one like him.
No it really doesn't.

> providing little value while extracting virtually all the profits

This is a wildly inaccurate statement. Users have every opportunity to visit the news sites directly and yet they choose not to. So clearly search and social media sites are providing value.

> They are constantly moving the goal posts, which can ruin businesses overnight

We're only talking about news businesses for the purposes of this law. If a news outlet is entirely dependent on google search traffic for their revenue then they don't have a stable business to begin with.

This whole law makes the assumption that Google and Facebook are the reason new outlets are losing revenue, but I have yet to see any evidence of that.
There used to be performance improvements since it would be cached already.
Analogies to small businesses do not work because Google distorts the marketplace.
I joined spotify in 2011 and the core offer was simply access to all music across your devices. However, that's not really relevant.

2020 was the year I really started to question why I was taking such care with my data in some ways but not others. The Wrapped 2020 was a bright reminder to me that if I want to take my privacy seriously I need to look at everything in my life that collects data. Simple as that.

I don't think spotify is wrong or evil to collect the data. I actually think it is a great product. I have just decided that I want to leave as little data around about my daily activities as possible.

As it happens I don't use the Discovery features very much and it turns out there are still some enjoyable FM stations where I live. When I want background music I turn on the radio. When I want something more specific I play an album or playlist from my collection.
It seems to me that the challenge is agnostic to your source of funding, and the actual complaint here is that the business world is not fair to bootstrappers.

Similarly, I can't compete in the NFL, but I don't accuse them of being unfair to small, scrawny dudes — I'm just not built to compete there, and I'm unwilling to accept the trade-offs in my life that would be necessary to have a chance.
Amusingly, that page says it was last updated November 1996. It still renders decently today, probably due to eschewing anything but the barest of HTML.
Glad you found what you were looking for. As for hidden gems, here are some suggestions: http://www.nfb.ca/start/
I feel for the guy, entrepreneurs are a competitive bunch and losing is never easy to take, particularly when it can be interpreted as a shot against your startup's idea. That said, this comes off as nearly unadulterated sour grapes. Suggesting a second category with a smaller prize for bootstrapped or otherwise small startups is a fine idea. Taking it to the next level and saying that Amazon is being unfair by not doing so is a bit much.

Amazon is not a charity; they are indeed obligated to run any competitions in a way that maximizes AMZN shareholder value. This means spotlighting and helping out the startups that both use their services and have a high likelihood of success in the marketplace. It isn't surprising that many of the startups that have been validated by Amazon (by being selected for the semi-finals) have also been validated by venture capitalists. Should Amazon also provide laptops to all interested parties, so as not to exclude people without them?

It looks like several others have echoed the OP's sentiments on the Amazon announcement page, so maybe I'm off-base here. I just feel like everyone is better off not getting bent out of shape about winning contests; they should be seen as the lottery -- nice if you win them, no-op if you don't.
Before you try this, note the TSA just arrested a man for not wearing enough clothes so he could be patted down.

He was not refusing their gate-rape freedom-fondle, just making it easier for them:

http://www.printthis.clickability.com/pt/cpt?action=cpt&...

TSA requested [he] put his clothes on so he could be patted down properly... He never refused a pat down.

So basically they could visually see he didn't have any weapons but required him anyway to then put on more clothes so they could then pat him down.

America has lost it's mind.
To me, what is really interesting about this deal is how it all came about. Elliott Associates forced Novell to put themselves up for sale after Elliott offered to buy the entire company. They're a really interesting hedge fund because they get involved in these extremely esoteric areas of the market where they have little competition -- for example, a few years back they were buying up defaulted sovereign debt and suing countries to force them into paying up.

With this deal, not only is Novell getting sold to Attachmate, but Elliott is also an equity investor in Attachmate, so they can benefit from the upside.

Now that markets are becoming more and more volatile, these kinds of transactions where you force an event are going to be in demand in order to keep returns up.
I don't know how much there is to explain.

I don't know that Walgreens has that much of a reputation, but I think of them mostly as a drugstore, even though they carry a lot of random stuff. They are a fairly large chain with stores all over the country.

That said, they're not really somewhere you go shopping for high class goods or electronics.

> However, dont basically all SSO cookies live far shorter than 30 days?

At least in the case of Google auth: While G may reauthenticate you every 30 days, it's global to your web browser. So after you have reauthenticated, you are back to "logged in" to websites you've logged in to with Google.

In the "old way" you only need to reauthenticate to Google, Microsoft, etc once a month.

With this new Firefox UX, you still need to reauthenticate to Google, Microsoft, etc once a month, but you also need to click "OK Keep StorageAccess granted" once a month for every website that you use federated login on. There are few auth providers but many more auth consumers.
> I'm going to just believe that the earth has it's own regulation magic that we have not uncovered yet.

Well, it, er, does, but it isn't very good (see ice ages), and operates on timescales that would be inconvenient to us. If humanity died out tomorrow, then CO2 levels would likely get back to normal eventually, but it's not really a _great_ solution, is it? We can hopefully do better.
Yep, years ago I was loosely involved (as a Koha developer working for one of the organisations involved) in this: https://www.rnz.co.nz/news/national/230631/koha-trademark-ca...
