Rather, I would focus more on ordinary folk issues, despite not watching TV by not having one.

Some other people of my demographics (not TV watchers, can read international information sources, young and educated) would have the same focus.

So please, do not underestimate our own inherent bias against "high profile" and towards "ordinary people".
A deli manager at a grocery store in the Chicago area in 1985 made $35k - $40k a year. Adjusted for inflation, that was the equivalent of around $72k - $81k a year. With full benefits.

It's been clearly determined that wages have not kept up with inflation, so I would say that comparing one generation's wealth with their parents is not something that will yield hopeful results.
Ceylon looks interesting. Mind pointing me to some features you think make it more statically safe than haskell?
Epigenetics?
Contact the major advertisers and tell them you won't be buying their product.

My idiot redneck neighbor had a stock car and was always making noise at all hours. One night at 1am he arrived home after a race and started up the engine to back it off the car trailer. So I called his major advertisers listed on the side of the car, they didn't like to hear their phone ring at 1am.
Google's handling of Android bugs is unpleasant and difficult to swallow. The QA seems minimal and little or no attention is paid to user filed bugs. The barometer on the Nexus 5 is still broken after a year+ of software updates. Infuriating. The bug with hundreds of stars is marked obsolete! The barometer is still broken.

I'd like to debug and fix it but other things have priority, and I don't feel confident that if I were able to fix, that my change would be merged. Oy!

https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=62938

Edit: I should mention, they did fix part of it after about 6 months in the wild (the part where the barometer crashed all the sensors). What they haven't fixed is that the barometer doesn't actually reliably work.

Edit #2: Interestingly, I might have to eat some of my words. I'm just testing on 5.0.1 for the first time and haven't been able to reproduce the issues present from 4.0 through 5.0. Maybe it's actually fixed in 5.0.1!! Of course, I've only been testing for 10 minutes and it could still surface. For reference, the remaining bug is that the barometer periodically reports seemingly random values. 5mb, 730mb, 1004mb, 740mb, 300mb, 3mb, 750mb, etc. Now it seems to be stable and generally reporting the same values. Interesting.

Note to the OP:

Hi Chad,

We're sorry you had a bad experience with our interviewing process. Our ad specifically asks for someone that's been "programming professionally for around a decade, have a few years of full stack web experience". We're not looking for people with 10 years of Rails experience...though if Mr. Hannson is interested in a job here, we'd love to talk to him :-).

Our phone screens are not technical interviews. They look to see if you've been building things similar to what you'll work on here, as well as if you'd be a cultural fit. We specifically have non-technical folks do our phone screens to give our programmers as much time possible to actually program. Our screeners do tend to deliver very high quality candidates for initial, technical interviews.

With your specific phone screen, we found two other candidates that were better fits for us and our HR person made a mistake when she told you they had "10+ years of Rails experience". Our bad.

Good luck with your career and if you think you are a good fit for us and that our phone screen missed the mark, let me know and I'd be happy to talk to you personally.

Sincerely,

Eric Scott
CEO, Dolphin Micro
There have been tricks that get popups through, possibly by exploiting browser bugs or opening the popup in one of the few on* handlers where browsers allow them.
It'll be interesting to see how things shake out when some of the other implementations using postgres's pluggable storage API start maturing. I wonder if it'll have some of the same operational downsides that mixing storage in MySQL has.
The points you brought up are irrelevant to the "effective range" argument. Range requires TX power, so maximum legal range is inherently the same as maximum legal TX power.
Quantity vs Quality, I guess. I randomly selected a link and ended up in this article about NER. It explains how to train a named entity recognition model but skips some functions and in the end where it says "testing the model" it shows results of a pretrained spacy model wtf?

Useful data != Secret/TS data. If there is any Secret/TS data on these systems, there's already been a security breach and yesterday wasn't special. Unclassified systems are often assumed unsafe/breached to begin with.
A large portion of HN takes too literal a definition of censorship and misinformation, this thread included. This leads to shortsighted and misplaced anger. And importantly, the largest powers will sidestep your lashings out/solutions.

Every power since civilization wields its power and pushes its own propaganda. Misinformation and censorship fall under this umbrella. If you honestly think the MSN, social media, tech giants, large donors, or even the current government are worth revolting over, this message is for you.

Any routing of power will be temporary and follow with quick usurpation by the next most powerful. I'm sorry to say, there is no quick solution to power coalescing, and you and I are not the next most powerful. There is only the steady march of technology, capital, and laws that equalize and distribute power which will lead to any sort of widely shared power equilibrium.

Stop pointing blame at this or that company, this or that politician or party, and build something lasting. The game is played with power, and none of us have enough to make a worthwhile difference sorry to say. Something lasting could be spreading good will, developing a piece of software, making a scientific discovery, educating yourself or others, or even building capital for some end. Slowly and steadily pluck the reins of power from the few to the many. I don't know what a truly equally distributed system of power will look like, but I believe it's the only end worth fighting for. Maybe you have to align yourself with current powers to get there, but wielding the power should never be the end.

If this diatribe seems out of place, it's because you aren't seeing all the terrible takes that were filling this thread in the first hour. But who am I to say.

There is a ton of crossover. Unsurprisingly, I see quite a few serious Peloton riders who "graduate" to direct-drive trainers and zwift or whatever, but I see just as many who try it and come back, or who migrate from that world TO the peloton.

In particular, I hear a lot of complaints about Zwift getting really boring. I'm not a gamer, but as a Peloton rider, I find the gamification aspect kind of appealing. I like the idea of visually racing someone on the screen, I'm competitive. It's the most appealing part of the platform. Changing gears and attaching my bike to the thing and finding room for it, and getting all teh sensors sorted is definitely NOT the appealing part.
> they would always produce televisions with underpowered hardware for the software experiences

AFAIK they upgraded the SOC in 2020's mid-year model X900H to MediaTek MT5895. I have that TV and everything feels very snappy, it's good enough that I have a 2019 Shield TV sitting unused[1]. They feel pretty much the same (despite the Shield's Tegra being massively overpowered), even in game streaming performance (Steam Link and NVIDIA GameStream/Moonlight).

The common sentiment is that the new SOC is ["finally"] great. I wonder if they reused that SOC in the new XR series or picked another one, but either way it looks like they're not underpowered anymore. Bloatware was apparently massively reduced last year too, and there's a "delete all demo [retail] content" option in settings to reduce it further.

[1] I originally bought it because I figured (A) all Smart TVs are underpowered and (B) Smart TVs are not trustworthy, but this model is powerful enough and you can fully opt-out of analytics, even disable the Samba (not SMB) APK entirely.
The degree of power he is still technically holding on to does not change my point.
Thanks!

You nailed it. We are building for "prosumer" retail investors who have baseline proficiency around these ideas. Over time we'd want to make sure our platform is more generally accessible, wherein we would build out more in-app education.

Indeed, higher-risk sector-based indexing is a use case we're seeing a lot on the app (e.g. https://enombic.com/jake/crypto). Then, we're seeing folks couple decorrelated sector-based indexes into aggregate indexes (e.g. https://enombic.com/chris/main, this one is actually 50% Vanguard ETFs).

No Neo exchange yet, sorry. Do you know if it's possible to get exposure to psychedelic medicine in the US?
Yes!

Incidentally, I already have a feature request! :-)

As a heavy C++ user (also using R for EDA & analytics), one feature I love about PTVS is mixed-mode debugging: https://pytools.codeplex.com/wikipage?title=Mixed-mode%20deb...

Any chance of that for "RTVS"? Preferably with cooperation with Rcpp, http://rcpp.org/

(There's some basic support for Rcpp in RStudio -- https://support.rstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/200486088-Usin... -- but it's rather limited.)
Stanford researchers did something similar for superoptimization: http://cs.stanford.edu/people/eschkufz/research/asplos291-sc...

They separate the problem into two phases: the first is only worried about correctness, then the second deals with optimization while (eventually) preserving correctness.
Yeah, me too. Growthhackers.com is good but there are SO many bad posts out there and people self-promoting. Everything on Austen's site here is brilliant: http://austenallred.com/user-acquisition/book/chapter/instag... well worth reading in detail. I may not be the best person to answer this question, may be worth a new self-post for you
A rather John Cage-ian anti-music piece although the only thing of interest but the way it was written I wasn't sure if the 4 GB limit "discovered" FAT32's limit or if it was a MP3 format issue that players simply couldn't handle files larger than 4 GB because they were 32 bit.

Other than that, I can't really say that creating a project of 700 days of generated noise is very interesting from an art perspective, but I'll save the art critiques beyond that.
> Even then, they already had the systems in place for this censorship precisely due to secret lobbying deals and strong-arming by the government (who knew that any legislation they brought forward would quickly run up against lots of opposition both politically and legally) - see the situation with the IWF and the porn-blocking stuff.

This isn't right. The Digital Economy Act said 'Ofcom can go think about whether site blocking would work'. Ofcom took forever and ever and still hasn't reported back. In the meantime, the music industry took action under the existing copyright act (from 1997) to try and block some sites. The ISPs opposed the action. The court granted it. After a few of these, the government said 'great! you don't need the DEA to block sites then so we'll abandon that'. There was no secret lobbying to get sites blocked - the legislation was already there and in place.
It would never have occurred to me to read to my baby, to be honest. Do other parents do that?

Here's a heavily sourced study that found that Utah women are paid about 69 cents for every dollar a man in Utah makes:

http://go.nationalpartnership.org/site/DocServer/wf.epd.fact...

It's not a national study, no, and Utah has been cited as being one of the top 5 states in the gender pay gap so this is admittedly higher than many other states. It also states that this gap remains at about the same amount (66 to 72 cents per dollar) regardless of industry, education level, or personal choices (eg, raising children or being married).
It's probably not replying, because you are giving "evidence" which can easily verified, while I am making assertions based on my knowledge of the field, knowledge that you probably won't acknowledge I have because you're already convinced that I'm misguided on this topic. Anyway, all your examples (except for econometrics) are on the fringe of economics:

Linear programming is almost never used, since economists like exact analytic solutions. Maybe it was popular when that Nobel prize was given?

Calculus of variations, optimal control, dynamic programming: yes, although I would not call these applications of deep math. The underlying ideas are very simple, they've just been written in much more general forms for reasons that are unclear to me. But only the simple versions get used. Same applies to fixed point theorems. You might learn and forget these things in the first two years of a PhD program, but that's about it for 99% of economists.

>Smale of Field medal fame used Baire category theory and Sard's lemma to establish a new method of obtaining general equilibria for economic questions. Do those count as deep?

Yes, and almost certainly useless for econ. But maybe you can explain a bit about it.

>Game theory has a host of methods from all over mathematics to prove new results, using new mathematical results derived solely to prove results in game theory. Grab a monograph and see if any of this is deep enough for you.

I'm very familiar with game theory. But thanks for the advice. In return, I'd suggest you read the required reading for the first and second years of a PhD program. Something like graduate Micro and Macro. You might still consider the math deep, but you won't see any category theory or algebraic topology, and existence and uniqueness theorems will be relegated to appendices in fine print.
This is really nice, but I want more data.

Everything of course only if publically available:

- Where are the probes located right now (map)?

- what is their trajectory/target location?

- what does the data look like being transmitted (I.e. Voyager isn’t more than a blip, or is it)?

- what Kind of data could be still gathered, e.g. could we ask the Probe to „take a picture“ or would the bandwidth simply not be enough?
It'll be someone using a 'jam, listen, and replay' device to unlock and start keyless cars so they can drive them to a port and steal them.

Pretty much every week a car is stolen this way from my street. I now always take the engine management fuse out of the fusebox when parking my car so at least the car can't start when a thief pulls this... They tried anyway though!

A long time ago, our ancestors were single-celled.

Then, some cells decided to live together, form a slime, division of labor, organs, etc. And today, voila, we have humans.

However, the single-celled never went away. We have been living together, co-evolving together, all this time.

No human has ever lived without a microbiome. We have been in symbiosis all this time. The immune system picks off the baddies, while the goodies get to stick around, serving all sorts of useful functions. Not only that, but the goodies actually edge out the baddies, because they consume most of the resources available to microbes. Combined with help from immune system police, a balance is reached.

That's the way it works until you introduce various ways to harm the microbiome. Preservatives in the food. Substances which indiscriminately kill bacteria on the skin and elsewhere. Antibiotics. Then the balance is thrown off, the baddies get to proliferate unchecked, the immune system can no longer cope with their scale.

I've stopped using any products which harm my microbiome. It's not easy, and it's not a one-day or one-month or one-year transition, but it's paid off in ways I didn't even imagine possible when I started out.

Edit: When I post about this stuff, I often get asked about specifics. For reasons of privacy, and several others, I would rather not get into them. Do your own research, find your own way. Don't wait for everything to be handed to you on a plate. I've provided more than enough information in this comment.
I'm using this[1] and I love it. Adding 1 column of spacing between two hands is real game changer. I've tried Colemak and Workman before but I found qwerty-wide to be more comfortable than both of them. It's also much easier to learn, especially if you're Vim user.

> if the mass-production output were to drop significantly, prevalence and use would also drop significantly

I'm not sure that can be assumed anymore. The 3D printer market has been absolutely exploding. I and my siblings got one as a present from my father for Christmas in 2020. Some reports[1]state there was a 68% increase globally in personal desktop 3D printer units in 2020, and that's after there were manufacturing problems to overcome.

If if shutting a factory today might suppress supply slightly in the future, I suspect that within 5-10 years the point will be mostly moot.

I really love using dbeaver[1] as a Postgres IDE. It requires a small bit of configuration for me to use it (why are the defaults to automatically lowercase all of my SQL?!). Other than that it's excellent!

It's interesting to see more and more articles lately reporting a strong connection between ilnesses (or lack) and one's microbiome health. What I noticed from my experience, is that kombucha and kimchi make me feel great if I consume these regularly (once or twice a week). Sometimes I will indulge in some crap food like pizzas and noodles, which make me feel unwell, but kombucha and kimchi work as a reset :)

As a liberal from a very loudly conservative state who moved to California, I believe that California's classist policies are racist when it comes down to brass tacks - especially its feudal age prop 13. I'm glad Ezra all but said so as well.

Just to muse, when I was younger I assumed people who were very into yoga and its aesthetics were chill people. As I've aged into my late 20s, most of the people I know who practice yoga and its aesthetics have excruciatingly stressful day jobs and horrible anxiety. They are some of the least relaxed people I know.

I now ponder if they're so loud about relaxing because they want it so badly. Anecdata for sure, but maybe there's more to it.

I wonder if progressive America's increasing focus on purity and aesthetics are similar?

After taking a look at 538's rankings of racial disparities in police encounters in Portland/Seatte/San Francisco/Washington DC[1], the contradictory support of BLM in those areas among it's constituents, progressive America's constant refusal to allow housing and absolute insistence on lockdowns in a pandemic that mostly punish non-white families, I worry I'm onto something.

I was replying to OP's claims that the Federal Reserve is the "evil puppet master" behind wealth inequality.

This is patently false. Inequality has been expanding since the 1970s, long before the "evil bank bailouts" and accommodative monetary policy of the 2010s Federal Reserve.
Indeed. All the flak k8s gets about being overly complex and difficult to manage (maybe rightfully) ought to leveled 5x at Istio.
Except the situation we're in is unprecedented. Never before has the government stepped in with this much force in response to an economic crisis.

The March crash was the event that was going to normalize asset prices, but really just became a blip due to the pump.

Should the government have done nothing? Absolutely not, but aid should have been better targeted. Overleveraged and poorly run businesses should fail. People who made excessively risky and speculative bets should have had them go belly up. The business cycle is no longer a cycle at all, things just go up.

Was the virus a predictable event? Not at all, but pretty much every bust in the business cycle is due to a new unforeseen tail risk that materializes. That's why it's prudent not to excessively leverage yourself in the good times, because bad times will come.

Certainly businesses such as restaurants, that were forced by the government to close, or travel, where it truly was an apocalyptic scenario, should have received the bulk of the aid.
> the US dollar [...] is the leading cause of gross wealth inequality

I have never seen this claim made before. Do we have an explanation on why the US dollar causes inequality? Would it improve if the US changed their currency to Yuan or Euro tomorrow? Also, how will cryptocurrencies prevent gross wealth inequality?
In this paper, we present an innovative and effective method for remote monitoring of mosquitoes and their neutralization. We explain in detail how we leverage modern advances in neural networks to use a powerful laser to neutralize mosquitoes. The paper presented the experimental low-cost prototype for mosquito control, which uses a powerful laser to thermally neutralize the mosquitoes. The developed device is controlled by a single-board computer based on the neural network. The paper demonstrated experimental research for mosquito neutralization during which, to maximize approximation to natural conditions, simulation of various working conditions was conducted. The manuscript showed that a low-cost device can be used to kill mosquitoes with a powerful laser.
