This is a very, very good lecture on depression: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOAgplgTxfc

Honestly, I think the disorder should be renamed. People associate being "depressed" with the same feeling that they get if they drop their iPod into a lake. They're sad.

General sadness is one of many of the ways that depression as a cognitive disorder can manifest itself. I can't tell you how many times I've talked to friends with real, serious, dangerous depression and heard that there are people who tell them that they just need to get over it and cheer up.

You can't cure cancer with ice cream, same goes for depression.

This is really interesting. Thanks
> at some point, to buy a $10,000 72" Plasma LED HDMI Gigajoule Laser TV, one must have done (or at least been around for) $10,000 worth of work.

Or convinced a bank that at some point, we will have done $10,000 plus interest worth of work.
I couldn't agree more with this post: I've long said the competitive advantages of iOS are the iTunes ecosystem and gaming.

Gaming is already huge and is only getting bigger. My 9 year old nephew has an iPod Touch as do all his friends. Ot a PSP, not a DS but an iPod. That should scare Sony, Nintendo and the Android handset manufacturers witless.

It's an area where hardware consistency is critical. Apparently games development on Android with different resolutions, CPUs and (perhaps most importantly) the graphics chipset is a nightmare.

What's more people seem less inclined to pay for Android apps than on iOS.

So Apple has the iPod Touch and the iPad, neither of which really has an answer yet (no the Galaxy tab doesn't quite compare wit the iPad).
Well, no, this is what you want to compare (15W, latest generation):

https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-1265U...

Though it does use TurboBoost up to 55W apparently. I don't know about the M1. If anyone wants to try, you can lock TDP on some laptops to exactly 15W (or whatever the compared M1 runs at) and run Passmark or something.
One thing I think this article ignores is that there's a specific tipping point at which it makes sense for a given publisher to drop paper, much like there's one for when they should adopt digital in the first place. We've seen the latter for most publishers, but we haven't yet seen the former for many at all. It'll be different for every publisher, with certain things (e.g. tech books) coming earlier than others, but it definitely exists. It'll be interesting to see where it is for different publishers, and what ends up remaining paper for a long time to come.

Another thing I just considered on the same subject: despite that the tipping point is different for each publisher, if half the publishers in the world have killed paper printing, it'll likely accelerate the other half to do the same due to the lack of economies of scale; despite that demand is down, production costs may well increase. So perhaps there's a more universal tipping point here.
My suggestions:

- The opening should always contextualize your work in light of the rest of the field. It also communicates your mastery of the field.

- Don't use big words when simpler, smaller ones will do.

- Don't be verbose just to fill space, and don't make your paragraphs too long (a common mistake).

- Be sure the composition has a well-structured argument/flow.

- Your style of exposition is important. The reader should arrive at your conclusions a moment before you do... this makes the reader feel smart, which is important if your audience is academic.

- Your bibliography should be large and should communicate both breadth and depth of research.

>"With this plan, we could actually make the US #1 for many things in the world instead of just military spending."

US is also #1 in primary school spending per capita, most years. That's something to be proud of. If you measure outcome in expenditure, then we are the most educated, healthy, and defended country on the planet.
Interesting, I totally thought they would have hit this a while ago. For some reason I assumed they might have hit a magnitude higher. But I guess I totally misunderstood their popularity. Whoo echo chamber.
Get a cheap tax-accountant. It seriously can take years to really come up to speed on our tax system. It's not so complex that a somewhat trained professional can't answer all of your questions, and ask you some good ones in a short session, but it's relatively easy to miss something doing your own research. Do as I say, not as I do, of course!

So long as you're making an honest effort, and actually working, there's no shame in stopping if it appears to you that your effort will not be rewarded. Witten, from that summary, spent at least a semester on all of his failed endeavors, and if three months is too hasty, we humans may be too short-lived to be properly deliberative.

You should definitely read Anathem by Neal Stephenson! He does exactly that, and a lot of other things.

Heh, same. I've been cycling b/t Opera, Chrome, Chromium, and FF for years now. Right now I'm stuck on FF b/c Vimperator is so awesome, but now that Opera 11 can have full-fledged extensions, that might change. Or, maybe not since FF4 is shaping up to be amazing too.
I don't know if you've ever read the Bible, but in Joshua 1:9 God says "Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid".

God was telling Joshua and the Israelites the formula for success.

I'd take The Book's word over what your book says any day.

I'll stop reading there. I can't honestly believe that competent programmers would be willing to work for free for one of the worlds largest multi-national software corporations, with the chance of being paid a relatively small amount.
And shareholders accept it, when their property gets thrown into the garbage can for this reason?
Two things I picked up from this:

1) It's really import to have software chops as a startup founder. Top Hat Monocle started off with a CTO co-founder that was dedicated to development, but it seems like coding took up most of the time for all three founders. There's a lot to be said for selling early, but unless you have the funding to hire developers from day 1 you'll be moving much slower.

2) axiom's job description never changed all that much over the last 18 months; it's more just the distribution of time. That's seems like something that can be easily modified to suit the CEO's experience by hiring the right people.
This is a fabulous article in general, and I love the Bret Victor quote as well.

And while I love the analogy -- and I think is applicable to what we're calling data science -- thoughts, speaking broadly, are fundamentally different than sounds and smells and wavelengths of light. The essence of thought is that we think it (it is thunk?). All of those other examples are subjective representations of physical phenomenon, while constitutes a thought, again broadly speaking, is less well agreed upon (understood?).

Still a terrific article, my pedantic nitpicking aside.
I don't really think it abuses the term, since it doesn't require a backlight to display things, it is technically correct to call it e-paper. I also remember the people at Pebble discussing the differences between e-Ink and e-paper when it first came out. It's not like they hid how the Pebble's display worked.

Besides, an e-Ink screen would be a horrible experience given how the display gets used in the Pebble watch.
Well the definition of a crime is whatever the law states, so yes it does fit, the same as not paying required income tax does.

You're welcome to argue it shouldn't be - either that license fees shouldn't be charged at all, or that it should be changed from a criminal to a civil matter (as another comment said is happening) - but argue one of those rather than just saying it isn't a crime.
Fair point. That's exactly what I did. Implemented a few high impact POC's ( my own initiative). But to my surprise, they were not interested at all. (Not only my manager. But a few other senior guys). That's when I realized its not worth it.
You didn't answer the question asked, you answered a different question.

The question that was asked was if the customer data you collect is "protected by HIPAA," not if you choose to be "HIPAA compliment."

In other words - does the law (HIPAA) require you to handle customer data a certain way? Are you a "covered entity" under HIPAA?

I don't know much about your business, but I'm going to presume you are NOT a covered entry and HIPAA does NOT apply. I'm going to presume that because HIPAA is not a generic medical privacy law (even though people think it is), it applies to only "covered entities," which are - "Health Care Providers[1]", "Health Plans", and "Health Care Clearinghouses." You don't appear to be any of those, nobody claims to be providing any medical services, and you even provide a disclaimer that you are not providing medical services. - aka "just for funsies."

A useful rule of thumb is the "I" in HIPAA stands for insurance - if insurance is NOT involved HIPAA probably doesn't apply.

So I think your statement "Yes, we are 100% HIPAA compliment" was intentionally misleading.

You are comparing apples to oranges. Your neighbour will not make billions of off your shoveled sidewalk and you won't have to spend years perfecting the art of shoveling just to perform that task over multiple months.
It's very unclear which events you mean. Could you be more explicit, to further actual discussion? The only big issue in the news that seems even slightly related to free speech is incitement to insurrection, which has been an exception for a very long time. Is there some change in attitudes or policies that you'd like to cite?
The AC won because it is easier to build AC transformers, it is not a lottery. (The 50 vs 60 Hz is a lottery, though.)
I don't think it's wrong per-se, it's actually probably the best solution given the set of constraints. It was more about bashing XML's impracticality than SVG really.
From the aticle: "Almost everything works out of the box."... I've been hearing this for literally decades.

Open source contributors are typically privileged white men who can afford to work for free and give away their work because they can and they enjoy showing off.
This puts people from poor backgrounds who can't afford to spend days on projects for free as they have bills to pay and mouths to feed at severe disadvantage. Why companies would hire developers if these cool kids give everything away for free? This is much bigger problem than you think.
And 95% of that $1 million donation, went straight into the expensive CEO’s bonus, for a job well done. And to other staff pay.

Call it an administrative fee. And this is why charities are bullshit.

Bonus points: If you’re rich, then start a charity, so that your Doordash buddies can donate to you.

I think it's possible this is driven by legal, and not marketing. I found the app store privacy label questions very confusing if you think about it for too long. Their legal teammay want the product teams to wait until they get more clarity on how these questions will be commonly answered, etc before releasing. Otherwise they may face a flood of legal claims.

They don't consider history as a minor for the SSBI. And usually don't look at anything older than 7 years prior anyway.
They might have multiple content streams that I want to aggregate, however. Or multiple substreams (for example, blog categories and I might only care about half of them). Being able to roll all that up into a single feed without bothering with something like yahoo pipes might be handy.
It behooves them to be the kind of people that would be nice to the lower levels, since that is then all but certainly how the version of them one level up will also behave in the same situation. It is a bit like Newcomb's problem, if you are predictably and cooperatively well-behaved you get rewarded.
The antenna idea (the metal frame is divided, acting as multiple antennas) is really nice, and so obvious in retrospect. Yeah, everything's simple in hindsight. I wonder if Apple invented and thus patented that.
Yeah the automobile industry has patents, it sounded like she was talking more about the design aspect.
It's astonishing that this got downmodded. Marxists did think that banks and investors did nothing (or, at least, that they did whatever they did badly and should be replaced with an elite of planners.) Pseudo-communist rhetoric (as in rhetoric without any real connection or commitment to communism per se) is indeed very popular in a recession.
Wow, sandi's talk was really interesting. She's working on a rails book so i'll be interested to see her approach to rails.

I'm pretty good with "small methods" but her refactor from that to "small objects", while more flexible, seems like its more complicated in the end. I mean if you're going to have a lot of those it makes sense, but I feel like it could equally be called premature; but I respect that it is more tolerant to future unknown changes. "small methods" is also easier for a junior developer to support, and i think that should be taken into consideration.

Having recently moved to America from Australia (specifically Canberra, which is considered the round-about capital), one of the biggest things I miss is round-abouts. They don't stop the flow of traffic like all way stop signs or traffic lights do.

One of the things I really like here though that I wish Australia would adopt is being able to turn right from (almost) any traffic light while it red.
Surprised that nobody mentioned blimp's usefulness for real-time tracking of crowd of revolting citizens in streets.
>>> You can't force anyone to treat anyone fairly. All negotiations between two people are exactly that: Between two people.

Are you sure that wage agreements between a corporate entity like Uber and individual drivers can really be described as "negotiations between two people"? Are you sure that individual drivers are more likely to see their interests represented when they negotiate as individuals vs. when they negotiate as a collective?

>>> Adding an arbiter only centralizes corruption and makes it easier for the already powerful to get even cheaper labor.

I'm not sure this really aligns with the history of labor unions, at least not in the US. The "already powerful" as you describe them have often gone to great links to suppress unionization.
There's been a lot of research and people interested in grass-fed beef. I'd love to learn more about the results of this study compared to the discoveries about grass-fed beef, omega 3 and the omega 3/6 balance stuff.

On one hand you have people like this study, which did a small 1 time study indicating that there is an inflammatory effect in mice. On the other hand, you have people like Dave Asprey who have spent years testing the 'grass fed beef is less inflammatory' hypothesis in humans. One of these has a stronger indication to my own health than the others.
Thoughtbot has a project that might help a bit: https://github.com/thoughtbot/flutie

That would be bad news, not that there'd likely be any danger of being "sucked in." That would be bad news because black holes can release large amounts of energy very quickly. A nearby black hole would greatly increase the risk of an event wiping out the human species or our biosphere.
True, but my point is still valid. When you start a thread, you're saying "do this these tasks in whatever order is most convenient for you". And the computer does just that.
When in the future your smart wireless coffee grinder starts wiggin' out, you'll know who's annoying software to download.
It is all about bragging rights among the security specialists.

Symantec is basically deconstructing a worm that cost some government lots of money, time and talent to create. They want to be seen as playing in the same league as the security experts at NSA, CIA or the respective equivalents of another country.
Great, thanks for sharing that idea. Next they won't allow testicles on the plane. :)
Everyone believes they are being rational. Failing to recognize that and calling oneself a rationalist is often just code for "my values and priorities are more important than those others put forth".
Yes I’m aware the article offers that opinion towards the end, but that’s just their opinion. I linked the article primarily because it describes the two incidents (the facts without the opinionated judgment). To me it is still a double standard, a result of the NYT’s left leaning bias (https://www.allsides.com/media-bias/media-bias-ratings).
The whole argument is just a dumb troll that people bring up a bunch. It is not some serious thing that anyone is worried about.

But because the argument sounds so silly, the trolls come out of the woodwork and bring it up all the time, in attempt to attack people for something that nobody actually believes anyway.

All right, I'll own it. I have failed to denounce people who are N degrees separated from me who believe terrible things, because I believe that guilt-by-N-degrees-of-asscociation-unless-denounced is both nonsense and deeply damaging to our society. I am not taking part in that kind of performance theater.
Failing to object to immorality and immoral arguments cannot be corrected only by rationalism and statistics because Nature, at its core, is amoral.

And there, indeed, lies the problem. What should society do when an an argument is factually correct but leads to an immoral result?
The usability of the payments form is poor. It doesn't state which fields are required (if it's all of them, it should say so at the top). I understand not remembering the credit card number or CVN between requests, but it also forgets the expiry date, and the country. I had to resubmit several times because of this. Fortunately in my case I had the patience to go through it regardless, but given the amount of research indicating people's willingness to drop out of payment processes halfway through, this is something really worth fixing.
I think that altrusim that involves the death of the individual seems very hard to understand. But in general there doesn't seem to be much trouble explaining cooperation. In the paper "Kropotkin Was No Crackpot" by Stephen Jay Gould he states "Kropotkin therefore created a dichotomy within the general notion of struggle – two forms with opposite import: (1) organism against organism of the same species for limited resources, leading to competition; and (2) organism against environment, leading to cooperation." The really interesting thing is that the paper also explains why certain societies are more collective than others e.g. Russians Vs English people. Darwin admitted a second form of struggle "metaphorical" that pits organism against the harshness of surrounding physical environments, not against other members of the same species. However Darwin's focus was mainly on the other form of struggle which pitted individual against individual in a gladatorial struggle. The Russians could not understand this "It was foreign to their experience because, quite simply, Russia’s huge land mass dwarfed its sparse population. For a Russian to see an inexorably increasing population inevitably straining potential supplies of food and space required quite a leap of imagination." So their environment influenced their politics which seems natural enough and refreshing to me as it always seems that a more social economy is some kind of artificial thing that is forced on people by intellectuals and goes against our nature as murderous individuals. Of course we are also murderously competitive individuals but the point is that in certain environments you won't survive if you don't cooperate.

Right, but there are no prices on an uninhabited planet. The prices placed on environmental changes is something humans decide on. It's a subjective, arbitrary number.

It's good to avoid environmental degradation but the prices we use to do that are going to be arbitrarily set by government.
