It's worth noting that the general models ELO approximates, called item response theory (IRT) models, could handle larger than 1v1.

Its similar to how you model situations where multiple latent skills contribute to performance (multidimensional IRT). In practice, it's a way easier though to use simple stuff like averaging / constraining groups so everyone has roughly the same skill level.
"After correcting for demographics..."

GOOD students will do fine in almost any school system. I think what makes a difference is how you motivate the kids with problematic backgrounds.

Excluding them from studies is certainly NOT the solution.
That's awesome news, congrats to Dave and Kevin
No, he already said that Liberals like to say that public schools are bad so the government can spend more money on them.

He has a strawman argument for conservatives, too.
It would be far too complex to do with human operators without destroying the primary benefits of the internet.
How do you blur read/compile/run time when one of your goals is to have a complete type system?

By putting all of the type system in the parser, but leave the runtime as a fully dynamic late-bound JIT VM. There is already a precedent for this in Java and in the Strongtalk variant of Smalltalk. To complete the picture, we just need a way to map the types before the code-change to the types that exist afterwards. There's already been some work towards this. (Java/Eclipse)
10 or 11 years ago, David Warren was working on an extension called Tabled Logic Programming; his implementation was called XSB. He seems to have abandoned it, which I find disappointing; it looked interesting. In a nutshell, instead of a goal acting like a procedure call as in Prolog, it acts like a coroutine.

Here's a link: http://www.cs.sunysb.edu/~warren/xsbbook/book.html
It should have been the only line in the entire article. The only way that proper precautions such as this will be taken up by people who really don't care is if they are simple and succinct.
I don't really know enough about this stuff, but couldn't you just generate some kind of temporary encryption credentials upon the initial wifi connection handshake and use that for the duration of the session?

I've always assumed that the reason it's not done is that the CPU resources needed to handle decryption of a reasonably strength was too much for a bunch of simultaneous connections on affordable hardware.
If we're going to make legislation that way maybe we can make everyone a organ donor unless you opt-out? And while where busy changing laws anyway, maybe from now on if you're suspected of a crime you're guilty unless proven innocent. There's to many criminals walking the streets who actually should be in jail...
Blue, blue, blue. . . twitter is blue, facebook is blue, most of microsoft/bing is blue, even gmail (default) is blue. A more creative / edgy design would help a lot.

Design critique aside, the idea is a very good one.
It's not a "government plan". One MP raised the idea. And was quickly put down.

"Devizes Tory MP Claire Perry raised the issue at a special Commons debate, because as a mother-of-three she knew how difficult it was to keep youngsters from seeing inappropriate material.

But Mr Vaizey made it clear ministers will not take any steps to force internet service providers (ISPs) to tackle the problem.

He said: "We believe in an open, lightly regulated internet. The internet is by and large a force for good, it is central to our lives and to our economy and Government has to be wary about regulating or passing legislation."

The minister suggested it was for parents to take responsibility for what their children see online, rather than the ISPs that make money from pornography."

I am suprised by detractors - come on people: social dynamics, plus anonymity, plus flirting, plus cyber stalking?

This has the perfect viral pull of "I wonder if anybody likes me" - kind of like that brilliant old Classmates.com line "Is an old classmate searching for you?" or HotOrNot.com

Facebook-attaché Formspring.me has nailed the anon part alone and been rewarded with insane, fairly sustainable traffic:

http://siteanalytics.compete.com/formspring.me/

I'm not sure this is a huge, revolutionary business but I'll bet that these guys do pretty darn well and as a feeder to dating sites they'll crush it (which incidentally powered a huge part of FB's early revenue and is still an important cornerstone).
Something about it looked fake to me as well, but obviously it's difficult to tell.
NoLED app on market, check it out. Apologize for posting this twice in the thread but I wanted you to see this suggestion if it is a big pain-point.
as someone who became interested in the topic when it was difficult or time-consuming, i support making it slightly more difficult.
"Electric lighting is no great boon to anyone who has money enough to buy a sufficient number of candles and to pay servants to attend to them. It is the cheap cloth, the cheap cotton and rayon fabric, boots, motorcars, and so on that are the typical achievements of capitalist production, and not as a rule improvements that would mean much to the rich man. Queen Elizabeth owned silk stockings. The capitalist achievement does not typically consist in providing more silk stockings for queens but in bringing them within the reach of factory girls in return for steadily decreasing amounts of effort."

Joseph Schumpeter, from "Capitalism, Socialism and Democracy" (1942)
This is extremely scary if proved to be true. Imagine if the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) were able to get their hands on or direct their war on bittorrent with these tools. Actually, the RIAA has a listing on its website [1] of various news clippings, like, "Pirates beware: Kim Dotcom's Mega isn't the safe haven he says it is" and "Kim Dotcom, Pirate King". It would be interesting to find out how Dotcom came to be entered into a NSA system as a target.

Bingo, you get it. Put a frog in a pan of cold water, bring it to the boil. It'll stay there, perfectly content, until it cooks.
Anecdotal speaking, when I moved from the Southern US to the Northeast I developed allergies that kicked in during late spring.

Someone suggested this and all I can say is that after a few years I don't have the allergy attacks anymore. Not even when I mow the lawn.

Since I stopped taking Claritin or anything like it I can only assume the honey did _something_.
Totally uninformative because it concerns itself with the structure and history of income equality, rather than the root causes. It's great at showing what happened, but has no clue about why.

To name one example, they address the question of education by showing correlations between college degrees and income. What this is missing of course is any change within college degrees themselves. What are students studying? What is the quality of their work? How well does it match up with what employers need?

I don't have the numbers in front of me, but I believe if you drill down, you find that some college degrees (like electrical engineering) have kept up very well with productivity and wage growth. Others, like anthropology, have not.

I will tell you that I live in one of the most educated regions in the nation (DC area), and it is extremely difficult for technology businesses to hire people with the right skills. If you are a good programmer or sysadmin, you can make a lot of money here tomorrow. But a bachelors in political science is not, by itself, going to get you much.
FWIW the visual graph style IDE is used to write scripts for 3d design programs Rhino 3d (Grasshopper plugin [0]) and Revit (Dynamo). It's pretty popular among architects and the like.

Thanks, I spent a minute skimming through this post and ended up coming here hoping someone wrote a tl;dr like this. Must be challenging to write effective copy for something like this (not being sarcastic)
(web dev here) I ditched my long loved Eclipse for Sublime 2 months ago and never looked back.
Some crimes aren't even discovered for weeks or months afterwards. For example, a dumped body. There's definitely a trade-off, 24 hours seems too low to me, multiple months too long. 15 to 30 days sounds about right.
I am all for privacy, but...it is not a reasonable expectation of privacy that your car and/or license plate will not be photographed while on the road (at least according to US law).

There is an entire body of law regarding reasonable expectation of privacy vis-a-vis 4th Amendment search and seizure. If nothing else, even if one does not personally agree with the jurisprudence, then they might find it informative to know what the police may or may not search/seize without a warrant, probable cause and/or reasonable suspicion.
Eventually, yes. But it's the same as with Sophie Wilson (designer of ARM processor instruction set, formerly Roger) - is it a historical account, therefore use their name/gender at the time of the event, or a retrospective where their name/current gender overrides that historical fact? Tough call.
Just to be a pedant, you are talking about Registry of .ly cctld. Their registrar is a separate provider with a contract with the registry.

I'm not a fan of abusing ccTLDs as generics, although in the case of .io I'm willing to make an exception since Indian Ocean Territory isn't really a country.
Why do you think NLP is a good field for doing meaningful work?

He could also have jobs working on corporate chatbots...

I think NLP has as many meaningful jobs as other industries, but it's not at the top of the list.
When a person is jailed it usually means they default on their lease, which may result in a lawsuit. They lose their job, sometimes their marriage. They can't see their children. When they come out, they often are left with no possessions and dim job prospects.

If we create limited liability entities that can be criminally charged, they should be treated analogously to a person, or their corporate officers or owners should stand in the company's stead. Right now, corporations have an unprecedented ability to simply pay a large fine for a murder conviction. That is not an option for an individual convicted of murder.
During development, and initial per-unit sales? Sure.

Once mass produced, not even close.

Think of:

- training costs (training grunts isn't 100% free)
- pay as soldiers wait to go on missions
- and here's the BIG one, medical care
- and lastly?

PR! PR, no more "soldiers coming home in body bags". Why, you can fight any war you want, and no one will get upset about your soldiers dying. Yet beyond that?

How do you negotiate with one of these things? How do you trick them, by walking an "innocent" up to them, and blowing them up?
It's easier to just drive the prices of CO2 certificates up. A EU CO2 certificate for 1 ton of CO2 costs 25€. If you buy it and resell it at a higher price like 100€ it's either too expensive and will never be bought or if it will be bought you will be economically harming CO2 emitting companies.
>What’s not so good at Gumroad?

>“There's not a lot of room for growth. We're staying profitable, and not planning to double the team every year. While there will likely be a few leadership roles, there aren't plenty of them and they aren't built into the career path of working at Gumroad.”

Interesting how he equates growth with raising in hierarchy. I suppose if you're a programmer seeking to improve skills, sharpen your tools and increase knowledge, you're automatically a loser for many people.
> Not really

No, really! Sorry, but I've run hundreds of students through this course and that's my actual experience. I love PyCharm. It's a great tool. It's not what beginner programmers need to learn the fundamentals of programming.
With solar+hydrogen you have a higher stability than nuclear. When solar process fall by additional 50%, this setup will be even cheaper than coal.
He is good at selling dreams.
> When the same happens in liberal, capitalist countries, or due to those countries imperialism, the deaths don't seem to be attributed to liberalism or capitalism.

Probably because it wouldn’t make sense to attribute the effects of imperialism or anti-liberal, anti-capitalist policies to liberal capialism; whereas the Marxists took over specifically in the basis that they claimed to be able to have better living conditions and fewer deaths and less suffering than capitalism. Surely you can understand that we are interested in how poorly they have failed to live up to this promise.
I like Gandi too (I'm American, not French), very pleasant compared to other registrars I've used.
Why is no one concerned this is going to become a platform for spreading misinformation?

The way a conversation turns into a set of people who become the authority on a topic, vs. the followers is just way too easy. It's sort of like Quora back at the beginning.

It also requires a huge time commitment that makes sense in this Covid world that once people want to get out and travel, or just return to normal meetups, the platform will either shift to a lonely class of people, or dry up completely.
I haven't used nomad yet, but I use consul and consul-template for configuration on a couple clusters (work and personal) and they're great.
> In my experience adding columns to a production database table is pretty infrequent,

It's infrequent because crappy development practises mean that when you try and change the schema a pile of people scream abuse at you because their crappy wildcard queries break, because the crappy code written around those wildcard queries shits the bed if the columns change in any way, shape, or form.
I knew Bellard had written a very functional Tiny C compiler. I had no idea he wrote it more than once. My respect for him just continues to grow.
It is. It was less than $10 6 months ago and in those 6 months there is nothing Gamestop did to increase the value of their company by nearly five fold, other than be the focal point of a massive pump and dump.

I just tried it using IE6 with TLS 1.0 disabled and it does not load at all. If you watch the video carefully you will see the certificate errors that comes from the device having such an old certificate store too (in the case of google.com they now use GeoTrust with a cross certificate to Equifax). And I doubt the device support SHA256 certificates either. The device might not support the 3DES cipher suite either (as it was relatively slow compared to RC4) and many sites have disabled RC4.
Before you put a lot of work into something, it is a good idea to check if it is welcome. Nothing sucks up enthusiasm quite like blank rejection.
Police gassed and opened fire on BLM protesters for throwing water bottles, but Trump protesters storm the capitol rotunda with firearms and they are trying to "deescalate."
The senators could have voted to convict convict during the impeachment trial.

That would have been more than a speed bump. They had the opportunity to act, chose not to (well except for Romney).
This is terrorism, plain and simple. Donald Trump is the leader of a terrorist cult.

My dad went bald very early and I was always afraid of it. I've had the typical progression of male pattern baldness going for the last 20 years. I'd look really weird in my 40's if I had the same hairline as my 20 year old self. Over the years I've gotten used to it and consider it not a big deal.

On the other hand, now that my dad is in his late 70's he has melanoma all over his chrome dome. He has to get things burned, frozen, and lasered off every couple of months. It's ironic that after accepting the vanity aspects of baldness and no longer caring, I see that there are much worse things.

If you're bald or balding, wear a hat! Wear sunscreen! The spray on stuff is sort of gross but it can get to your scalp where the hair is thin and skin is exposed.

If a stem cell treatment for baldness were affordable, I would consider it. 80% for the UV protection and 20% for the vanity.
Other parents usually ask questions on what how you are doing, what you are doing, etc, and unless you flat out refuse to answer the questions (which seems rude) or outright lie, then they will eventually learn that your kids are sleeping in your bed.

Yes, when Craig Wright first came along it was great because you could tell from Bitcoiners' reactions how susceptible to hype/bullshit they were. Either you accepted obvious truths about how crypto works, or you didn't. Knowing this about members of that community in particular was hugely helpful. (Now even the grifters, hype artists and clowns have had enough of Craig's bullshit.)
This sounds like a fun project? Did you publish your source code somewhere?
It's worth noting, they started taking savings accounts into account just last month. Frankly, this conflates what exactly is going on.

This probably is a better graph: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/series/M1REAL

Essentially, showing the money supply adjusted by the consumer price index.

Also velocity is currently down dramatically:

What does all this mean? If / When velocity picks up we're in for a hell of a ride. Inflation is going to be steep, UNLESS they pull money out of the market. Which is quite possible.

I just want to underscore: Chiropractic is a pseudoscience and injures more people than it helps. I have heard too many stories of injuries and paralysis. It's a huge shame that our society allows these frauds to practice and advertize the whole sham as a respectable profession. It is not evidence-based, it's a total sham.
Are you pro life or against life? See how an innocent looking question can be a disguised trap. As an anon user, you can ignore the question and move on. However imagine this is asked by your interviewer or by someone who has power over your career, and asks this on a stage in front of a large audience.
Glad to see you finally came to an end with that. Thanks for the plug btw! :)
This is hardly above the nebulous drivel of the articles that popped up during the week of the flood, just dressed up with a professional veneer. It manages to sneak in a clickbait headline, and despite the promise, you don't get to find out the cause, just three contributing theories. Also, did you know dams are bad?

The terrain in these Himalayan states is rough. Steep river valleys, no flat land, and towns clinging to cliffsides. They're vulnerable to floods every day. If anything, dams alter the risk profile dramatically, increasing the impact of the rarest of floods but greatly reducing their frequency. And, they generate soot-free, low-carbon electricity from these rivers that are hardly ecological havens: they're the upper tributaries of some of the most polluted rivers on the planet.

Altering the natural environment is always a trade-off we should examine and justify. But in this instance, they add up. Without the dams, an identical flood would've resulted in at least as many casualties, and that will continue to be the case until you build even bigger dams whose reservoirs provide more cushion against freak floods, melt, and landslides, and/or until you banish people from their homes in towns that dot these deep gorges at a great socioeconomic cost.
I could be wrong but I've always seen Russians identify themselves as Europeans than as Asians, even though large part of Russia falls in Asia.
From another reply -

We also will NOT be selling or using any of your personal genetic data without consent.

"Genetic data" seems to imply that they do look up your DNA too.
For anyone travelling to Southeast Asia, I strongly urge you to try out Krating Daeng, the predecessor of Red Bull. It's an interesting experience in that it's both similar yet completely different — and not carbonated. Whatever the reason, almost all energy drinks and the like are carbonated in the west. It's an interesting contrast and well worth the try.
Pixiv! (http://pixiv.net/) If you're familiar with deviantart or artstation, it's a similar Japanese digital art site with its own culture, store, contests, and more. While the site has a pretty great English navigation, I was on there back in the day when it was 100% Japanese only, and many of its current mores stem from those days.
That's what the anti-climate-change folks keep telling us.

I can't remember a single person I've watched on youtube educationally. I hate it - it's too easy to get distracted. When I'm in class, I can focus. On my computer I'll end up somewhere else and right quick.
Right, so I'd count that as "not working." :)
Amazon product listings and reviews are such a cesspool these days. It's a travesty.

It's completely impossible to tell good quality stuff from useless garbage (especially since they are usually commingled in the same listing), and often it's impossible to find good quality stuff at all under the barrage of listings of the same two products with different fake brand names. The sorting options are a joke and the ratings are gamed so much they indicate nothing except how much the seller spent buying reviews.

It's amazing that Google hasn't been able to do better here.
That's a good point, actually. Beyond the "default formatting" case, it seems pretty hard to imagine a good syntax that would not be very awkward.
I would love suggestions of French language sites! I have found them quiet hard to find, especially of a more than surface level discussion.
I'm sorta skeptical. With 12% of the usa vaccinated and things on the verge of opening, I really don't see things going into a recession unless the powers at be do something stupid.
