(non-computer tech here) Critical points taken, but what about the value to the Cleveland Clinic's cardiology dept.? See article by Clinic's IT semantic web project staff at http://www.w3.org/2001/sw/sweo/public/UseCases/ClevelandClin.... Isn't that the utiility of a deductive reasoning engine - taking disparate data overwhelming to humans - and cranking through it as queried in human language terms? I'm just asking.
I think it's so open for abuse it'd be bound to be a success, but whether or not you could grow something long term I think would be the question.

What might work is if people who register can post messages or handle requests for people in exchange for credit. That might damage your revenue stream, or might go the other way.
In my current and previous job, it was never brought up, but it was revealed in the background check done by HR. They found out either way.
> Android is due to win simply because there are more people who can get it at any one time.

This is true due to cost, not carriers. The iPhone is available on most (all?) carriers in Canada. In fact, the USA is, I think, the only place in the world that has the carrier problem with iPhone. And since the USA is only ~5% of the world's population, that particular problem isn't very significant in the grand scheme of things.

More people are able to get Android phones than iPhones because there are price variations in the Android ones that allow people with little money to buy an Android phone.
It wasn't a fluke -- variation was statistically significant better than control (we never publish results otherwise). Clients are never happy to see their actual conversion rates and variance, etc. published in the real world, that's why I choose not to write about those figures.
Sure it does, if regards foreign citizens.

"The US demands extradition of so-and-so", for example, would be a typical headline in many places.
I've always wondered if there were techniques of parallel computation used to maximize the effectiveness of a roomful of human computers that would be useful for electronic computers with multiple processors.
1. Can you give an example of some of these systems?

2. Designing your code in such a way that requires it to invoke the GC seems counter-productive. If your algorithm is producing a bunch garbage that is statically known, why not just release that memory explicitly? Invoking the GC is way more expensive than necessary here.

3. New/delete will always be used in performance critical code but I think the point is that in general it's not a good practice.
I think in multi-threaded code ref-counting usually uses atomic_fetch_add instructions. This results in a memory barrier and is much more expensive that you might think.
Thanks you. I will think about those points.
I'm always surprised by "starving kids in Africa" argument. Why would one assume that hunger is a solvable problem? As soon as there is more food, there will be more children. It's basic ecology. If anything, the Green Revolution that produced more food in the 20th century has devastated the environment (our life support system) and will probably lead to more starvation in the long run.
I'm surprised by your problem with leftists here? What is the leftist agenda with regards to AI?
Doh! Don't know how that didn't paste in: http://www.geocomputation.org/1999/082/gc_082.htm
Your argument makes no sense to me. Why would the length of my subscription with AT&T have anything to do with how much data I use? If I only use 100MB a month and am happy with that, how would paying less for it make me leave AT&T faster?
They really needed that $199 price point at any cost, I think. My impression from trying to buy one is that Sprint is not the wireless provider of choice for people with tons of money.
Nice. I just got turned on to Neo4j.org (graph db) and the resources listed here will help me better understand what is going on.
Oddly enough, I find the print harder to read. Multi columns, distracting pictures, huge quotes to take me away from the content, and low font to line-height ratios...

I guess I've just gotten use to reading online, esp w/ readable.
I doubt Sense makes a difference in battery life. It's also my understanding that it's just a home screen; change the preference for which app manages the home screen, and you are back to plain Android.

What's irritating about Sense is that it basically precludes any updates. My guess is that the Evo 4G gets Froyo never, which is why I think I'm just going to get a Nexus One. Or wait for a Nexus Two.
It's not AT&T's fault though, it's Apple's for allowing an exclusivity deal. If you did a wholesale move of every US iPhone owner to Verizon or Sprint, their networks would be similarly suckified.

Here in Australia the iPhone is unlocked and sold by every major carrier, and yet its launch still utterly trashed a couple of the networks. The situation has improved, but it shows what happens...
Will that forever be a Android exclusive thing?
I have a feeling that printing, filling out, and then mailing off a mechanical license for every song, and then waiting by the mailbox for the results won't make for compelling television.

I understand the message behind the weblog post, but I think it's asking a little too much for them to tackle copyright on Glee.
I have tried to buy an EVO 3 times now, and every time I've done so, I've shown up at the store to be laughed at by the sales people for wanting one (despite calling and being told that there was availability). Now that I've had time to think about the cost over a 24 month contract, I don't even want one anymore, even though I already have Sprint for my mobile broadband plan. (Sprint sucks, but Wimax is really good.)

Anyway, Arrington and the other TC reviewer already admitted they don't live in a 4G market. Why buy a 4G phone when you can't get 4G?
I'm referring to their gamesmanship wrt AV1. Of course they supported Mpeg4, they were part of the patent cartel (MPEG-LA) with a get-out-of-jail antitrust exemption and cross-licensing to other bigco's such as MS and Sony.

One reason Google bought On2 and pushed VPx/webm/AV1 was because they didn't have video patents to use as trading chips in the cartel (On2 had several patents).

Full disclosure: I was co-founder of On2
I think Quora and all other social silos should get the Internet Death Penalty.
Me too, it popped up like last week and was the only result I could find (I already moved from DDG to Google because the results were irrelevant with any keyword combination I could make) and the answer was, like on stackoverflow, some "accepted" kind of answer (so marked by the person who asked the question). All posts were readable except that one: for the marked-as-answer post, you had to pay.

They've certainly moved on from scrolling down to see the answer...

It doesn't require a standard of proof in the way that people don't work with a standard-of-proof 3-pronged test-of-likability for their spouses.

Among the myriad reasons: the nature of the crime matters. If they got caught with a bit too much LSD in 1975 it doesn't matter even if proven & admitted and convicted. If, however, there's just a whiff of corruption then that's Game Over, next please.

Hell, if they were arrested in bar fight just last year and spend a week in jail, that might even be a plus: first hand experience of the criminal justice system from "deep inside" could at least excuse a singular transgression (perhaps depending on what side of emacs-vs-vim they so drastically defended in that bar).

So it's more of a calculation, as in

probability X recency X seriousness X relevancy for job
+/- all other factors .

...rather than any single standard of proof. And that's fine. That's how it has always been, and how it was originally envisioned.

A fully anonymous system as you describe would have the side effect of removing responsibility from the consumer. How do you request payment from an overdue customer when you can't even tell who he/she is? In real life, when you shop with your credit/debit/atm(clave) card you're willingly giving out some of your information. In the net, it works the same way, if you want to buy X item from X online retailer or you want to sign up for X web based service, you need to give them some identifying information.

If you really want to stay anonymous, your only option in real life is to use cash only and go dressed in a hoodie and sunglasses to every place you shop. In the net if you want to stay completely anonymous, you have the option to not use the services or purchase the items.

It's not Netflix's job to make sure you stay anonymous. Their job is to collect your information to be able to charge you X amount of money for a service they provide (even when their service includes something you don't want - recommendations). It's your job not to use said service if you don't want your data in their systems.

> ... a system according to principles that advantage criminality so baldly.

As I wrote elsewhere, there is no advantage to criminality because there are many ways that a corporation can be brought to justice.
OT, but "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" reminds me of a funny Mitchell and Webb sketch about evil villains using ambiguous phrases when ordering their henchmen to kill someone.

That makes sense. And above-ground tracks also make sense as some other replies mentioned, less capital costs.

Maybe driver-less buses would be a new sweet spot? Maintain detailed road maps for the driving software instead of tracks?

I did something similar years ago with an HP laptop (direction from internet of course).

Instead of the oven, I used a heatgun and a stack of nickles on top of the GPU chip. I almost fell over in surprise when the laptop booted right up afterwords.

In my day at Boeing, nobody considered that the pilot might be a bad actor. Unfortunately, that was a mistake. It turns out pilots can be bad, and now there are procedures for that.
There was large amount of 60+ vaccinated with second dose 2 to 4 weeks ago. Iirc it was at least 50%.

If half of population responsible for 90% of deaths is vaccinated it should affect death-per-case ratio.
Ok, fair enough. I didn't mean to diminish your experience. I also I didn't realize meeting in homes is strictly illegal in the UK. That sounds a tad bit excessive, for the reasons you outline (over here in Poland, it's currently max 5 people except the host and people living with the host, and I think there was no actual case of enforcing it against small family&friends gatherings).

> But it's not viable at a population level because a significant percentage of people are either in situations whereby they need to mix households in order to function, or have brain chemistry which means that avoiding social mixing for prolonged periods (months or more) causes them to become depressed, anxious, or in extreme cases psychotic.

That's absolutely true. The long-term effects of social restrictions on public health and general morale was something somewhat unexpected, or at least not thought much about early in 2020 (and, hindsight being 20/20, only confirms that the big mistake was not doing hard but short lockdowns early on). I'm just hoping we can vaccinate our way out of this in the coming months, because even introverts are having troubles taking this much longer. Myself, I started this pandemic in a state of being burned out by interacting with other people - a year later, I now desperately crave some socialization, but I'm not sure if I'm even capable of it anymore.
> So not quite having a public health impact in overall numbers just yet (it's the lockdown that is doing that), but I have no doubt it will eventually.

I guess to the extent that people are actually following the lockdown rules, that substitutes pretty well for a vaccinated population. The advantage of vaccination (at least in theory) is that you can maintain those rates without being locked down.
Electronics manufacturing is very different from pharmaceutical manufacturing. Decision-makers can't just magically hand-wave the problem away and if politicians were to invest money in building up the infrastructure for all possible vaccine solutions, they would later face huge criticism for wasting public finance on all the potential vaccines that didn't pan out. I'm still hugely impressed that we have any vaccine for SARS-CoV-2 just under a year after the virus was discovered.
Natural gas to a powerplant is overall less energy efficient compared to natural gas to a high efficiency home furnace.

This is about Texas though where high efficiency gas furnaces. In the north natural gas is the normal way to heat. I'm not sure about Texas.
Knowing whether to `SELECT *` vs `SELECT a,b,c` is the entry-level/babys-first-optimization case. Providing a high level and performant ORM, takes deep knowledge of the underlying database and a lot of code complexity. But that wasn’t really my point. My point was:

If you’re using an ORM this whole article is moot to you. You don’t decide whether `SELECT *` is the being used or not (let alone more complex optimizations), and if you do actually delve this deep into your ORM you are in the vast minority of coders

if you’re using an ORM it’s an architectural decision that was mandated early on in whatever project, so even if you did find out a naive `select *` is being used by your third-party ORM, the whole point would be moot because we can’t just switch out ORMs for this project.

So for most people using an ORM, this is useless information because either you don’t know/care or your organization won’t let you know/care because they’re already doing it that way organization-wide.
They weren't doing that in 2019, at least -- and yes, 1/3 sounds (broadly) accurate.

> How can the student debt bubble burst and hurt the school?

Because for-profit educational institutions don't have large endowments to bankroll them through tough times and are completely dependent on revenues from continued enrollment. If student debt becomes more difficult to come-by, and/or the government tightens the criteria for student loans, these schools will see their enrollment drop as a significant portion of their clientèle will be unable to afford their services.
The announcement was not "sudden", but the date has been in discussion publicly for over 6 months. In fact Toyota agreed to invest 50M in Tesla only if it IPOed before the end of the year.
Like other folks have said in this thread, there is no one size fits all solution to RSI and I would encourage anyone to seek out physical therapy first (or even just start doing strength training, like dead lifts).

As someone with a crazy ergo split keyboard though, I also share the author's intuition: floating the palms and hands allows for straight wrists, and bent wrists are probably the biggest culprit of typing related RSI. Floating the hands like playing the piano makes "proper" typing difficult though, because it incorporates significant arm movement.

So my conclusion after going down the rabbit hole on ergo keyboards is that... they probably don't matter too much (it's not like we have any data anyway). It seems likely most people can accommodate standard hardware in an ergonomic way by using a non-standard typing style: arms coming in at angle with straight and non-deviated wrists, hovering hands but without wrist flexion, and avoiding finger excessive finger extension using supplemental movement from arms. This would be compared to using non-standard hardware like a Kinesis Advantage or Dactyl-Manuform with standard or "proper finger movement only" typing style.

But to the defense of ergo keyboards, I think the above are not mutually exclusive. A sane physical layout reduces the amount of arm coordination required and a split design seems to have really helped improve the mobility in my shoulders, neck, and back along with general posture.
But how does someone read that as a criticism of modern art (whatever that is) and not Watterson resisting the commercialization of his work?

I had the same question for the naming of Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL), which IMO should be named "Linux Subsystem for Windows"

The best explanation I can think of is that the people naming it wanted the first word to emphasize the thing that's most important to them. In Microsoft's case, that's of course Windows. Perhaps the same is true for the S4TF folks.
But aren't statins successful in preventing heart disease, in clinical trials?

We approached a YC founder in our city via cold email.

I think that if you want to be an entrepreneur, you have to get comfortable with writing cold-emails and getting lots of rejection. It's just part of the game. Plus, it's not that cold of an email: you want to do YC and the founder has done YC. You already have a shared interest.
I don't know many instruments, I wouldn't say drums are especially hard, but they sure are deceptively simple looking. Even though, advanced stick control is akin to learning skateboard tricks, quite subtle. With the skin loudness, the tiniest variation become a catastrophe.
> the consumer really buys buys psychological value

I think that's what the author is saying - businesses don't buy printers thinking about how the printer will make their staff feel, whereas when people buy iPhones, how they feel is a big part of the decision. The idea that I can afford to buy an excellent user experience for myself is very much part of that status value. Apple has exploited those feelings so that its design value outweighs the economies of scale that can be achieved by modularisation.
So you want the whole system to be based on the assumption that human beings are good? That is every bit as realistic as the assumption that USA is identical to Australia. b^)
The difference is the big guys likely never touch anything. They just get told by their tech to "hit the blue switch for the solo", or the tech just triggers everything themselves from the wings.

Love the backstory. Fitness startups are pretty interesting, and I like that Smartspot is using computer vision (because I haven't seen anyone else doing it).

The real problem here is using vertical paddings.

One solution I've found to getting vertical heights the same across browsers is to use no vertical padding, and large line-heights.
Cofounder Josh Augustin here. Motivation is a huge part of what a personal trainer does, and that's why we're going to help trainers reach out to their clients with email and SMS.

For people who have never been able to afford a personal trainer, like Moawia and I, this is an awesome alternative, and we believe it can be just as motivating.
As someone who agrees, I confess I'm actually happy that Google is no longer perfect, because that is a necessary precondition for new challengers to emerge and for the cycle of innovation and progress to begin anew. I don't know what those new companies will be, but I'm excited to find out.
I’m not rationalizing or endorsing anything. I’m describing the nature of the problem. We will never see any change unless people understand the problem.
The photorealism is amazing, yet there is the uncanny valley feel to it. I am somewhat repulsed that they are so close to human, but not quite there

In that sense, Pixar movies evoke a lot of joy since the rendering is quite different to the real thing. Hollywood FX spends an insane amount going full 100% to avoid uncanny effect.

However I feel we’re probably only a decade or so away from delivering something that feels truly human.
If the password for your "military grade" secured infastructure is literally "solarwinds123", I wouldn't say it's a sophisticated attack.

It's a more complete picture of how much modern businesses value security or pentesting audits. The answer to that is exactly zero effs.

As long as businesses think there is no ROI in security, this will stay the same.

The only thing sophisticated about this was that from code to deployment there wasn't any single audit of anyone. And that's a bad joke by any security measurement.

If any intruder can stay undetected THAT long, I don't wanna know what's up with MSFTs infrastructure. Must be an open door for everyone, and probably still uses the Perl pre-release based pipeline.

RCTs aren't perfect. There's a bunch of problems with them, generalizability being just one. But you know what's even worse? Everything else.

Big questions are great and I'd be all for focusing on them if we were capable of coming up with reasonable answers. But all we've managed are DSGE models and they're about as useful as reading the lines in goat livers.

I'll take the RCTs thank you and with a side natural experiments. Duflo is the most significant economist of my lifetime. Thanks to her economics has some basis for calling itself a science.
