Indeed. I was quite impressed by his solution for randomly iterating through the IP space. I've had use cases before for randomly iterating through a space while ensuring to hit every space and they've never been quite as efficient in space/time complexity as his.

I've worked in university/clinical medical IT too. Large universities are great for consulting IT practices because each dept is like a separate client. Work there for a year or three and then setup your own shop to bill back to it. Even a temporary contract can be useful to make relationships and identify pain-points.
The linked article glosses over the distinction between teaching hospitals, which did show a difference, and nonteaching hospitals, which did not see a significant difference. At teaching hospitals, there are research cardiologists and administrative types (division chair, officers of national organizations, journal editors) in addition to plain old clinicians. Everybody has to do time "on-service" directing the care of hospitalized patients. Naturally, the chiefs and the lab rats have to attend the big meetings, so their on-service time is in other months of the year. During the meetings the clinical cardiologists are mostly left in charge, and their clinical skills are better maintained, leading to better outcomes. Note that these outcomes had to do with acute high-risk cases, not elective interventions, etc.
I work for a company that employs a lot of foreign workers. They don't do it because of a "skills shortage," they do it because they don't want to pay higher salaries. Every American programmer they hire is underpaid and the rest refuse to exchange their highly skilled labor for working class wages.
Many of the startups try hiring as if they are Google. Plus you have to be under 30 and sport a hipster beard.
Yup. Do that all anonymously. Anyone that is socially Googleable is hard to hire unless the goal is to go into hard blogging/journalism like vice or the intercept. If you do use strong language or make bold claims, be sure to have mountains of solid evidence to crush detractors that will be left only the desperation of ad hominems and style bikeshedding.

I had a friend who lived in NH and worked in MA. He said he kept a detailed diary down to the minute of when he was working in each state . He said it was worth the overheard because of all the MA taxes he didn't have to pay.

CityMunch | London, UK | ONSITE | salary + equity | http://citymun.ch/

CityMunch allows independent restaurants and food trucks to attract new customers, by offering discounts in real-time to users near them through our app, reducing food waste and keeping kitchens busy. In our short history, we have launched in 3 cities (London, Bristol and Manchester) with hundreds of partner restaurants, and 35,000 app downloads.

The next step is going national, and building tech that allows predictive dynamic pricing -- for example, tell restaurants 'based on your location, cuisine type, users nearby and the weather, a 30% discount will attract 5 new customers in the next 2 hours.'

We are hiring a mid-to-senior full-stack developer, with experience in Javascript (mainly Angular/Ionic) and Java (Spring Boot). You would be developer number 2 in a small startup, so there are lots of opportunities to make a meaningful difference to the future of the CityMunch tech.

We are currently based in Google Campus in Shoreditch, with plans to move elsewhere in Shoreditch in early 2018. Having raised a seed round already, and with additional investment from Just Eat, we are set to have an amazing 2018.

To apply, email me at amy@citymunchapp.com
But then you're stuck logging into the payment portal and filling out the form information with your phone, which is my own personal hell.
Something about this article pinwheeled Firefox on my mac for two minutes before I gave up and force killed firefox. Particularly strange since I have all javascript, including first party, blocked by default with uMatrix. I had to read it with emacs.

Anyway, the fact that this is even a question people wonder about should be proof enough there's a problem. I lived in Philadelphia for many years and it's generally a filthy city. People who live there know it too. All kinds of liter all over the place, rats running around in plain sight. Trash cans getting deliberately turned over and emptied onto the sidewalk isn't uncommon. Vomit and the piss of drunks are common in alleyways. There is no shortage of abject poverty and homelessness. But shit on the streets? Not in Philly; not in this century anyway. This is one respect in which Philly is definitely cleaner.

This discrepancy is something that I've never seen satisfactorily explained. I've heard all kinds of comments about poverty and access to public bathrooms and all those other explanations. But I've never been able to figure out why this impacts San Francisco so much more than a city like Philly. Poverty, homelessness, mental illness, income inequality, and businesses with no public restrooms are not uniquely SF problems.

Edit for clarification:

North and West Philly are filthy. North of Spring Garden or west of 40th or so. And Kensington is a festering wound. The alleys in downtown are filthy too, though the sidewalks of the major streets are generally cleaner. Maybe they've cleaned it up since I lived there; I moved away about 10 years ago. I last visited about 2 years ago and it didn't really seem like anything had changed.
I do not like this redesign because it does not feel cool. I believe they need stop doing redesigns, and focus on something about things that people care about for a few years, like fixing bsods.

No matter what design they pull over their software, it will not make genuinely substandard software cool.

I think there's some value in hyping up a new technology, trying to apply it in a lot of places, and settling on a smaller number of logical applications. I think that's what happened with VR [1] and 3D printing [2]. Self-driving isn't as far along, but the Waymo videos I've seen make me pretty sure it will have it's place in our future.

From Wikipedia:
"The concentration of active psilocybin mushroom compounds varies not only from species to species, but also from mushroom to mushroom inside a given species, subspecies or variety. The same holds true even for different parts of the same mushroom. In the species Psilocybe samuiensis, the dried cap of the mushroom contains the most psilocybin at about 0.23%–0.90%. The mycelium contains about 0.24%–0.32%."

So for 3.5g ≈ [8.05mg ; 31.5mg]
And for 2.5g ≈ [5.75mg ; 22.5mg]
Tesla certainly has a lot of real world data on conditions and human behavior. It remains to be seen if the sensors deployed on their customers' vehicles are sufficient to the task of self-driving, however. And if they're not, that data gathering may not turn out to be very useful. Given that they don't have a system that can avoid stationary firetrucks or gore points, I think it's fair to say Tesla haven't figured out the requirements yet. There's a meta question about the privacy aspects of the data gathering and if customers have provided meaningful consent.

At least Waymo usually gets rearended by other cars as a result of being timid (except for the time they ran into a bus by being courageous and assuming the bus would move).
If you don't care about IE and Edge you can fit 8KB-64KB in the URI, otherwise 2K is pretty safe.
I don't see VR and 3D printing as wish fulfillment. While they're both relatively niche (from my consumerist perspective), they do fulfill roles.

VR is good for therapeutic immersive reasons, for example [1]. And 3D printing, well, shooting rockets into the stratosphere, for example [2].

IMO VR and 3D printing are real, albeit niche. Self-driving cars aren't fully there yet.

A big trap a lot of people fall into is worrying about whether they are training for strength vs hypertrophy before they are strong enough for it to really matter. Sure, those big body builder types you see won't be as strong as competitive power lifters, but they are a heck of a lot stronger than the average gym goer. Every huge guy is pretty strong, and every super strong guy is going to be pretty big.

It's not exactly the same topic, but Mark Rippetoe gets to the spirit of it "My opinion about barbell rows is as follows: fuck barbell rows. Really. Fuck them. Stop wasting time worrying about barbell rows and get your deadlift up to 500. By then you'll have your own opinion and you won't have to worry about mine."

Until you get to the point of at least a 350lb squat and 400lb deadlift, it's far more useful to just stick with a program you can stick with than worry about optimizing it based on what "professional" athlete you want to be like.
Oh, if I even had an assigned administrator! Fifteen years ago, there was indeed an "in situ" administrator for the department. Five years ago, I could at least still find a couple of that ever farther removed breed of man in a room of the same building. Nowadays all we have is two alternative methods to have a "ticket" created, namely telephone and email. The main job of the first line of "support", located in a low-wage country, is to have every ticket you create closed as quickly as humanly possible. If your request is not on the (short) list of standardised tasks (like package assignment) it will usually get closed as "not an issue, won't fix". You then have to re-open and escalate, to get to someone who is capable of more than just following a few simple instructions from a process guideline. Even then, anything that is out of the norm will usually end in someone saying "this kind of request has not been anticipated" or "I'm probably not allowed to do that". Frankly, most of the time I don't even try anymore. Welcome to 1/2M employees company bureaucratic nightmare.

> Empirically, every country with instant runoff still has two-party dominance.

I suspect this a property of single-member electorates. Australia has IRV, but Senators are elected proportionally within each state. The major parties have more members but do not always command a majority, and most Senates require negotiation to proceed. However because the House of Representatives almost always goes to one party or the other, it is possible to form the Executive and govern.

It's a fairly effective hybrid.

Is it really controversial to say that Asimov had a bad prose style and is primarily an idea or conceptual writer?

I mean, look at http://www.google.com/search?num=100&q=asimov%20%22prose... . These people aren't making it up; Asimov will never be praised for his striking style, magnificent metaphors, or lucid descriptions, like, say, Gene Wolfe is.
This looks really cool and reminds me a lot of Io. Speaking of Io, this make me curious about the performance of Atomo. Io while an amazing experiment in expressivity has terrible performance. Does Atomo similarly prioritize expressivity to the detriment of reasonable performance?
This "people are sheeple" position is quite widely held but didn't actually serve old media. The rise Google has involved a move from advertising based on "tempting the unthinking masses" to advertising based on giving a mass of individuals the information they seek.

Old media grew wealthy on emotional, image-based advertising while neglecting informational advertising. Sure, the people interested in biking, kayaking or photography might not be terribly competent with computers but the rise of Google has demonstrated that more and more these people are after the objectively best product and less-and-less a product that their friends, their tribe or their favorite celebrity endorses (this does vary a lot by product category but its hard to find a hi-tech product people buy only for the image). Google has found a way to give them some rough approximation of the objective information they seek.

Average people are certainly also entertained by chatting with their friends on Facebook. Does that mean they'll go back to consuming based on emotional advertising? I don't think so.

The proof is in the Facebook ad conversion rate. Tell me when it gets up to Google levels.
I somewhat support this point of view, from admittedly selfish interests. I dont support advertising schemes online that dont give me (the consumer) something. i.e i expect online advertising to create a system where if I choose to click, I am rewarded with a discount,or some such, otherwise they just impede on my time (and on my phone, its not trivial, ads take longer time to download any content)

Many useful sites and services seem to completely rely on advertising as opposed to the service they actually provide, this is all well and good, but as long as advertising is the same mode of operation it used to be offline (and what did change between offline and online? metrics, nothing much else) i agree with you that I dont think LBS can monetize until the advertising market creates another alternative.

The concept of online advertising is generally a two way, service provider and ad provider, it would be better if it will be a three way, rewarding the consumer as well.
I just don't think these services will go past the early adoption crowd. I love "social" but telling people where I am worries me. I just think robbers and such will take advantage at some point.
It doesn't help to build something if you can't sell it.

The NoSQL movement could be called a marketing and sales effort to sell people those ideas that you listed. Just because you know what vector clocks and consistent hashing mean doesn't mean that all the managers and all the technical directors in the world do.
Forget that, use ZeroMQ. Much faster without a buggy erlang server in the middle.
Well, possibly, but if you genuinely think that then you can never achieve anything other than complaining on message boards and hodling US treasury bonds. Everything has risks and it's a question of enumerating them and deciding how and whether to manage them.

How is it a strawman argument? The point is that you're factoring in the inflation cost for BTC, but not the alternatives such as USD or even gold.
Looks beautiful to me. Rectilinear tracks were an artifact of early layout software; there's no electrical need for them.

I find it visually easier to trace tracks that aren't perfectly parallel, too. This is splendid in that regard, pairs are obviously pairs, but their spacing to other pairs is variable (which also suggests slow transitions in impedance rather than step-changes; another benefit).

If anything, this looks like it moves a lot of components out into their own space, where they won't be shadowed by others in case of rework. Looks great to me.
You haven't shared "the point" just a link to MicroStrategy, a failed software company whose CEO had to pay an $11 million dollar SEC settlement decades ago for cooking the books, making a desperate Hail Mary play buying near the top of a speculative mania in a bid to gain relevancy. MSTR is the new "Long Island Iced Tea" -> "Long Blockchain Inc" rebrand [1]

Humorously enough, the same is roughly true of Tesla, a car company which sells 5% as many cars at Toyota while valued about twice what the entire rest of the car market put together is worth.

Their only source of profit is selling carbon credits to traditional automakers who won't need them anymore as they're all moving electric too. One more Hail Mary distraction to maintain the one thousand three hundred P/E ratio. In a manufacturing business. Not software with zero marginal cost. Manufacturing. The industry average P/E is right around 15.

> ...it's about living in a world of competitively devaluing currencies and resulting asset inflation.

Currency is an intentionally-lossy temporary store of value. It only needs to hold its value for as long as it takes you to buy assets with them. At 2% inflation it does. Anything else is a straw-man you'd recognize if you attended ECON 101.

Asset inflation isn't inflation, it's an ROI. CPI is inflation.

This is a typical set of r/Bitcoin talking points that are easily debunked.

Capital Gains Tax is also a form of triple taxation.

If you invest in a company and make a capital gain of $100 million, the capital gain is valued at $100m because that's the expected increase in profit take of that company over its lifetime.

That profit will be taxed once through corporation tax, and then a second time through dividends tax. Capital gains tax is a third tax on these profits.
And their own http://www.cato.org/raidmap/ shows 333 over the last 25 years.

That 40,000 number is just SWAT deployments, it doesn't care if they didn't do anything, or if in fact the deployment was correct.

The map only counts cases where the deployment caused a problem or was incorrect (innocent or wrong party).

Heh. I2C was part of what I was doing on the aforementioned MSP430 OS. I ended up breaking up all the I2C stuff into parts of a state machine (I think I ended up with six states), and ran it in the background as the lowest priority main loop.

> if the loopholes were closed, … almost everyone in the economy would win

1. Tax is not zero-sum. They take as much as they can from everybody.

2. Any additional spending would likely also have zero benefit to most people.

3. Greater tax income is only used to take on larger debt, which gets paid for mostly by wage workers.

I am against loopholes for a different reason: they are anti-competitive, essentially a government-granted monopoly on investment and participation in the economy. But even a more “fair” tax is mostly a bad idea.

Taxation is an anachronism. It is an inefficient and coercive way to fund public goods, and even now it’s a relatively small part of cash flow. The most efficient and effective way to finance the government is through bond sales. We don’t need taxes. Seriously, we don’t. Last year, the treasury collected $17.8T from bond sales and $4T in taxes. Bonds are valued by debt (liabilities) to GDP, so ask yourself how much real GDP growth would come from tax elimination.

This should not be just a theory. It requires no modification to the constitution, and no operational changes outside of the treasury, which mostly just keeps doing what they’ve been doing already to fund the government. Congress sets the debt limit. Treasury manages bond sales. Nothing changes. My friends at the IRS might need new jobs, but I got this idea from them anyway.

I never actually read GTD. But from reading all the hype and commentary on the book, this was the one point that I thought I could easily apply and stick with.
> I'd bet a fair amount that your Mass General study used self reported calorie intake.

99% of nutrition studies are, but this one wasn't. I can't find the reference now, though.

Personally, I've been on a ~1200kcal/day diet for years (for some of that time, I did very detailed tracking), and stayed at my 220lbs. Which, of course, makes no sense, and it didn't to my girlfriend at the time who was an MD - so she decided she'd show me how wrong I am by eating the same as me. She lost weight quickly and started blacking out (apparently some form of malnutrition) within a few days, and stopped after a week with a SEP field resolution ("Contradicts everything I know, so I'm just going to ignore it").

Then, 12 month ago, on essentially the same diet, I started gaining weight - slowly but surely. And then I decided to cut away wheat, and lost 30 pounds within a month. (In retrospect, I also noticed that my gain weight coincided with going from pure-egg protein powder to egg-and-wheat protein powder).

There are about a thousand more variables than calories, and the body can change its efficiency.

Ignore the rat studies if you like, but cabanac has similar experiments with humans -- basically, people fed through a nose tube lose weight almost independently of the amount of calories you put in their stomach. Body just doesn't use the food unless proper signaling (apparently, scent related) happens.
Doesn't that potentially say something about the quality of the existing code?

Yes: I set it aside very early on.

I'm quite certain the story will change & evolve. However, I'm rather sceptical that the writing quality will.

Part of why I gave it up so early is purely on me: I am a sucker for a page-turner -- once a plot picks up a certain amount of steam, I have a near-compulsion to finish. This is the case even if, upon reflection, I don't like the writing, characters, events, etc...

Nothing less fun than coming out of a reading binge at 3am on a work night reading a book you didn't like!

edit: Random sampling in future chapters reveals great heapings of soliloquy and dialectic. I don't feel too bad about setting it down.
