I do not, but I can think of a few off the top of my head - the muon g-2 anomaly, the Antarctic upward-moving particle anomaly, the Hubble constant tension, the proton radius puzzle was one until quite recently (but is now largely resolved), the (not statistically significant yet, but they've been in the data since 2013 and they keep not going away) hints of lepton universality violation at the LHC...
If you'd like to have quick grasp of the rules, here's a site I created for just that: http://personal.inet.fi/koti/egaga/arimaa-begin/tutorial.htm...

You can play against (a stupid) bot. Just click once on the golden piece to select it, and then where to move.

I've also developed Arimaa game viewer, where you can analyse your game. The code is a mess but it might be useful for some. http://personal.inet.fi/koti/egaga/arimaa-viewer/arimaa.html

I had more ambitious goal but was distracted by other things. You can read more about it here: http://arimaa.com/arimaa/forum/cgi/YaBB.cgi?board=siteIssues...
One of the few reasons I don't like Arimaa is that it is patented. It is probably the biggest reason I won't likely commit any time developing for it.
Perhaps it's the favorable environment for intellectual property litigation in East Texas [1].

> How do you do physical distancing within your home? Eat meals alone? Don't share cups/plates? Wear gloves for doorknobs? I feel like there's currently no solution for this.

I don't think you really need to. Say the average household size is 3. If everybody locks down just within their household, the maximum spread of infection is 3x the current level. If that's done early enough, things will be pretty much fine in terms of hospital capacity, etc. Though if somebody in your household is especially at risk, they may want to stay in a separate room for a few days until it's clear that everybody else is safe.
Yeah. The new NESI cards look great, but my local community dried up shortly after official FFG support ended.
The author’s rhetoric is likely the cause of the downvotes, in particular focusing explicitly on “undocumented immigrants” when there seems to be no evidence that this group of people presents any greater (or lesser) risk than other groups that share their socioeconomic or demographic status.

To contrast with your interpretation, I found the author’s comment to be unnecessarily divisive.

Consider, for example, that Asian people are being harassed and assaulted in response to how aspects of this pandemic have been framed.

Now consider the response that the author’s comment might incite towards demographics associated with undocumented immigrants, in light of this, given that there is no reason to believe the premise.
LOL. I thought I was the only one...
Who could foresee that shutting down most major world economies an for undetermined length of time could cause a recession?
FWIW I was quoted $500 CAD to ship a hydraulic massage table from Vancouver to Toronto with WestJet Cargo a month ago (two packages: 30kg, 104×63×24cm; 27kg, 79×100×29cm)~. My sister brought the table the other way with the cheapest land-based courier she could find, I believe it was a trucking company, and paid ~$700 CAD.

By air it was easy to arrange, it's there a day later, and can wait in their warehouse for up to three days free of charge. By land, it took a week and was difficult to arrange.
It's possible, the market jumps at every little bit of good news. Once we are on the other side of the curve, we'll see what happens.
Easy solution to that is to discuss the work/code in the interview.
Well then how am I going to figure out whether or not you can code? The only thing I can think of is an expensive two week trial period which doesn't make sense since I feel that most programmers will either submit work or submit to a pop quiz.
Just want to point out that Charles Graner served only 6 year in prison for his role in Abu Ghraib, which in my mind was a far graver offence.
When you hear the mob screaming outside, glass breaking, and are likely being told to evacuate by messages on your computer and security outside? I wouldn't bet that I'd remember. Not locking your screen is as expected as it is forgivable under the circumstances.
This conversation can serve no useful purpose anymore. It's clear that you will never admit that there's anything wrong with your "analysis" (too big a word for pasting data in a spreadsheet), as far as you are concerned, you are a bloody genius (and helping people!) by plotting a bunch of points in a log scale. And of course any criticism of your methods can only be persecution and for "psychological reasons"... I wonder why anybody would post in a discussion forum if they are going to completely ignore any feedback or criticism (and in a very Trump manner say they're victims of personal persecution). Maybe just validation? I don't know, I'm not a psychologist.

Like other people have said through this thread, it's rather simple: you don't know what you are doing, and at this time bad information is worse than no information, and it will hurt people. And reiterating my remarks on my first post: stop being so arrogant, this is really the only word to describe your attitude as far as I'm concerned.
An insurance lawyer (friend of mine) also advised me to stay on a public plan and add up private addons where needed - those can be canceled very easily. I’ve not regretted that decision since.
Hi, thanks for sharing your website. You are doing interesting research.
It depends on your reason for counting.

For a hospital that needs to handle the diseased person, recording the most contagious disease makes sense, and acting as relevantly.

For an actuary looking at deaths after the fact, trying to analyse the lethality of diseases, attributing all deaths to the most contagious disease is less sensible.
Why do you say it's probably fake news? China's aid to Italy is well-documented and widely reported; do you know of other stories where the EU has provided a comparable amount of aid?
Yes. The root of the problem is that the hospitals' supply chain is brittle, and broke under the stress. One hopes it will get redesigned to be more robust. But in the meantime Flexport can get PPE now, and now is when it's needed.
>Yet they go to the local restaurant who's preparing dishes with no special oversight ex ante, just good logic and the fear of being closed if there's an hygiene investigation ex post.

Yes, because there are health and safety regulations in place!
What was the expected outcome, and what has ended up happening in your local market? Are people buying homes and just letting them sit vacant?
> Of the 47,000 people confirmed coronavirus patients in Italy, 4,032 so far have died - with a record increase of 627 in the last 24 hours. By contrast China has almost twice as many cases, 81,250, but 3,253 fatalities.

One major problem with this is China's reporting and actual figures.
Yes, great video! As a non-German I found the author's accent and germanisms added to its charm =]
I think part of the reason that the Teslas are large is that so much of the chassis is battery. Not sure that a motorcyle has enough physical space to switch over, although they are considerably lighter so...
This was a fairly obscure bug lurking in the DOM/API bindings. They have to do a bunch of wacky stuff to deal with the interactions between the V8 GC and the ref-counted native API objects. In this case, the TypedArray wrapper objects were implemented in such a way that allocating them would often trigger a full mark/sweep (which also, IIUC, contained the logic necessary to free up reference cycles in native objects pinned by V8). My understanding is that all that stuff is much better now, and much less likely to lead to such pathological behavior.
Wow, just looked over the API, this api method GET /currencies, gives me hope that in the later future Coinbase will provide exchange rates for foreign currencies. That would be amazingly awesome!
Defeating aging? I'd never be able to afford that even if it happened. Fixing our economy? The guys at the top will always find a way to screw me regardless. Making life multiplanetary? I won't be able to go, nor my kids, so what's the point?

Oh, save 50% on a meal at a restaurant I never went to before? Hell yes, sign me up! This will distract me from the depressing reality of life for a good ninety minutes at least.

(This is a parody of the average Joe, not actually my own thoughts.)
I'm interested in this space but it seems to have a very low barrier to entry as there are now loads of these startups, all with very similar feature sets. Just look at Hookfeed, FirstOfficer, Baremetrics, Sassymetrics and so on, all of which popped up fairly recently except HookFeed.

I like that you've added Braintree, Chargify & Recurly but can you tell us what makes you better than the aforementioned products?

could I ask a quick question here ? I have written a few ecommerce payment carts and reconciliation systems - I have built the maker checker processes and batch processes that account for refunds/erroneous txns, etc.

I have two big specific questions in exchanges :

1. injecting new inventory - But I could probably think of an exchange built using a couple of queues in rabbitmq and a few python workers... but this will not give me subsecond latency. What would you choose to build a super low latency eventing system using current off-the-shelf components ?

2. the order matching system. does the choice of programming language make a difference ? probably the matching system is where you need strong type checking.

I suppose that the maker-checkers and EOD reconciliation remains the same.

@tptacek - I dont understand your question about testing. do you refer to testing of sub-microsecond latencies/race conditions ? Is there even a way to simulate that (Jepsen?)
It does seem like every large company basically has to engage in politics in this way. Otherwise they just get steamrolled by unreasonable government policy. And somehow lots of people applaud when this happens.
I put my Apple trackpad in front of my keyboard.
I had not heard about slowloris, thanks for the tip. I am always on the lookout for ways to make life harder for scrappers and scanners.

In this case though, to defeat scrapers maybe create some link which only the scraper sees and leave a "gzip-bomb"' like described here https://blog.haschek.at/2017/how-to-defend-your-website-with... and see how their scraper handle that :-)

Personally I just used a html-fuzzer to generate 5 MiB of junk html and named it wp-login.php :-) And a ssh-tarpit
That just seems like nonsense. There's absolutely nothing that stops innovation – Intel's problems are primarily the result of a technical failure to implement their last process node, and the corresponding failure to manage the outcomes that went along with that.

There's a small cost to maintaining the x86 architecture, which impacts on processor performance. But the idea that somehow processor designers switching to ARM will somehow make them fast an innovative is obviously wrong – I mean we've got AMD right there getting performance which is substantially closer to the M1, there have been countless ARM chips out there forever, and the M1 is itself absolutely an incremental approach to processor development!
Not answering your question, but nice comics you have there. Is there an RSS feed?
Public blockchains are massively multiclient, open state databases

Only 2 small, little problems.

1) Who needs this --- other than cryptocurrency?

2) Who pays the operating cost --- other than cryptocurrency?

Bottom line --- Blockchain is a solution tailored to a unique problem that only cryptocurrency has.
A personal favourite of mine is Play (Chick Corea and Bobby McFerrin).

A short list of albums I'd suggest as an introduction to Jazz, piano-based or otherwise:

* Time Out (Dave Brubeck)

* Spectrum (Hiromi)

* Mopocalypse (Mopo)

* Why? (Ginger Baker)

* Your Queen is a Reptile (Sons of Kemet)

Time Out is a classic, but most of these are from the 2010s.
I guess it's pretty obvious that it's just a collection of graphs from different sources which all basically indicate that something did happen (decouple) in the early to mid 70s.

I think it's also interesting to note the Amazon button. The button has a strong call to action ("Pay now" rather than "* Checkout *") and only mentions the method (Amazon payments) underneath. This (I think) is a good method to get those users who don't have a preference (or don't know the difference) between PayPal, Amazon, or Google Checkout.

Some discussion there. It is effectively long multiplication, with lines and points taking the place of products and digits. The isomorphism is pretty simple.
Isn't there the issue that his original bone marrow (which you've temporarily removed) is probably infected with HIV? Returning it at a later date would reinfect him.
Then the customer doesn't have to pay. If you don't know what the problem is and aren't sure how much it's going to cost, you bill by the hour.

I've never in all my years had this problem. There never was something I couldn't fix, but there were plenty of things that took more time than I initially thought. I usually tell the client "it seems that I won't be able to complete the task in the time of the original estimation, do you want me to stop now and you don't have to pay, or do you want me to try for an extra 1-2 hours and get it fixed?"

People always seem to pick the latter, and I haven't had any unresolved problems or unsatisfied customers yet....
I think you're being unreasonably dismissive of a valid point: preparing a person of the year issue takes a considerable amount of time, and Assange's most noteworthy act of the year happened relatively late.
Or perhaps they just genuinely don't like the guy. They're all American companies run by American people, and Assange clearly has an agenda which does not include the interests of the US.
I have to ask, what is the point you are trying to argue? That it shouldn't ever be possible to enforce rules on internet communities?
Maybe I shouldn't share this, but get some expertise and work as an independent consultant.

The actual interactions seem rather limited. Rotations, translations, associations. not sure how much fidelity that actually gives you. How many problems can you actually solve with that?

The problem is standup is useful like 5% of the time when someone is actually blocked yet for some reason we decided it needs to be every day rather than more efficient ad-hoc meetings to unblock people.
In a non-critical way I would love to hear you explain your line of thinking in working in "RM". As in, how do you find your job morally fulfilling when your work is to "mitigate risk from would-be whistleblowers"? As an outsider to the industry, this sounds like corporate speak for "make sure that the harm the company causes isn't seen by the outside world"
Go girl you are a wonder of human nature. You did great dont take any shit from anyone.

”Online fitness advice. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. We must be cautious.”

The amount of contradictory advice slung online in regards to fitness is immense. (Same as it ever was, the old muscle magazines were bad, too.) Lots and lots of “evidence” amalgamated from rumors, second-hand sources, that old guy at the gym, and teeny tiny studies that have never been replicated.

As you go on a fitness journey (it hurt to type that), you go through decision paralysis, overbearing overconfidence that you know what’s up, and you end up with humility that boils down to “iron ain’t gonna move itself”.
Ok, that works for you. I do the opposite - I look at the pictures and point. Not because I'm ignorant; because the pictures tempt me and that is a better indication of what I'm 'hungry for' than words.

And why on earth would you want to screw with the restaurant profit margin? What possible gain is there in that for you?
From your cited article:

"Rather, it’s that incompetent people think they’re much better than they actually are. But they typically still don’t think they’re quite as good as people who, you know, actually are good."

Unfortunately, while the incompetent people may believe that they are not quite as good as people who actually are good, the problem is that they are not qualified to identify people who are actually good. From the original paper:

"That is, the same incompetence that leads them to make wrong choices also deprives them of the savvy necessary to recognize competence, be it their own or anyone else’s."

"As predicted, participants who scored in the bottom quartile were less able to gauge the competence of others than were their top-quartile counterparts." [2]

So while the incompetent people may not believe themselves to be experts in general, they are less able to identify that the person sitting next to them is an expert.

And further: "Bottom-quartile participants failed to gain insight into their own performance after seeing the more competent choices of their peers. ... [they] tended to raise their already inflated self-estimates."

Not only do they fail to identify the expert next to them, but when presented with the expert's answers they will raise the own inflated estimate!

Therefore, I believe that in practice, the DK paper does support the belief that less competent people believe themselves to be more competent than experts.

It doesn't work for me either. I'm on Firefox.
That website's markup is incorrect. There are also no <html>, <head>, or <body> tags in that webpage either, which might be a good explanation of why.
imagine if the grid did have the capacity to charge everybody's EV every night, and the only consequence of a sudden intense surge in demand for electricity like this was that you couldn't charge your car, rather than your house losing power completely when the power company has to institute rolling blackouts...

A higher overall demand makes the grid healthier, not weaker.
> Incorrect, dead people cannot own things.

That is precisely why they initiate the transfer while they are alive by making a will.

> People do not own what they are taxed. When a person is taxed and the money given to eg a social security recipient, that's not violating ownership, that's enforcing ownership. That money is literally the property of the SS recipient. The law is very clear on this.

Then it sounds like the people aren’t entitled to the income that you want them to. What’s your justification for changing the law on property?

> No, that's what you're [...].

> It isn't [...].

This is tiresome. You’re just contradicting me by insisting on your framing of the circumstances without any justification or addressing my arguments. I get it, you (apparently) don’t like it when someone has more than someone else and you want people to run around continuously taking and giving so that no one ever has much more than anyone else. Hopefully one day you can see that this amounts to people enforcing their view of property on everyone else, which is quite the hierarchy and not the least bit egalitarian. I’m sure you’re ready with a devastating rebuttal (“no u”) but the part where people own what they own and obtain through voluntary exchange, and we prohibit taking people’s stuff and rearranging it without their consent, is the one with the egalitarian social ideals imbedded into the fabric of it. Because people have to agree to things, so essentially the poorest person has the same power as the wealthiest. And obviously you can see that in no way can we make the same egalitarian observations about a system that constantly looks at what you own and decides if its “too much” or not. So this is easy to demonstrate in any kind of good faith discussion but when people just contradict you it never gets beyond the part where I say something and you contradict it, so its usually a waste of time. But I appreciate you interacting with me up to this point and please feel free to engage with the substance of my remarks at any time.

> You can say the statue of liberty is your property - but until that's enforced by somebody (via initiation of force or threats thereof), it is meaningless.

Surely you can see this is not the case. Who would they be enforcing my claim of ownership against, unless someone else also claimed to own the Statue of Liberty? So we haven’t even enforced it yet, but we already have the idea of ownership. You see, there wouldn’t be anything to enforce unless we conceived of an idea of ownership. This is what it means for ownership to precede enforcement.

> I'm simply enforcing my view of property rights.

Good luck.
