There's debate in that thread whether this project is satire or not. I must admit it looks remarkably like satire, especially the test suite.

That said, I have met some developers who would find this as an advantage and might actually try to put it into use. Generally these are folks who prefer the default soldier-on-in-the-face-of-errors behavior from sh and perl.

OwnCloud Conf came up with good stuff
not really -- ska point was that graduate school in STEM is transparently not about maximizing your salary potential. He is completely correct.

I went to a USNEWS top-25 undergraduate program, and had offers at consulting firms, ibanks and science phd programs.
My top-10 USNEWS phd program was quite open about a 22k-30k salary for the duration of your phd. The substitution effect had I chosen another route (back of the envelope) was a few 100k in lost earnings.

No one does science (in particular, a phd) for the money, because these are smart, academically accomplished individuals who could find more profitable work elsewhere.
The party with more resources has the advantage -- information and power asymmetry falls in their favor.

Of course consumers don't "do their due diligence", because they'd have to do so 1000s of times a day. This is a large part of why we have consumer protection laws in the first place.

I did not mean that they literally put gin in a pint glass and downed the whole pint in a few gulps - the author did not say how exactly they drank it. But what he made clear was that in total quantity drunk, for some, it was the same.

Two things give some perspective on this. First, at the time in England, people did not really drink water. They drank ale as their primary drink. So they consumed a lot of alcohol on a regular basis. Two, they didn't really know they were consuming alcohol. It took some time for people to establish that the chemical that caused intoxication in distilled spirits, beer and wine was the same chemical. (Because of this, initial temperance movements were exclusively about spirits.) So people didn't have a clear basis for reasoning that this new thing could potentially harm them.

Unless you have a magical infinite SNR, limited bandwidth ensures limited data transfer.

These towers have a monthly data transfer maximum.
Technically, it's unknowable. Most times, you can expect it to be about what it was 5 seconds before. Out of the total number of regular trading hours in the year, in how many seconds are major ETFs transacting outside 1% above or below a quote from 5 seconds earlier? How about when you exclude periods in which the market is volatile in a newsworthy way?
Even after seeing IkmoIkmo's post, I'm standing by my own. It does nothing to prove that the drivered->driverless car transition would be anything close to the drivered-driverless elevator transition. Even historical elevators rarely (if ever) had multiple elevators per shaft or a shaft that travelled in more than one dimension; that's a non-starter for the analogy this article tries (and in my opinion fails) to present as if it proves anything.
If you are trading 3-5 times a year, I'd argue that requiring people to put in the limits on their limit orders would be a good thing.

It makes people think about how the market actually works instead of how they hope it works.

Perhaps not entirely. If that's the kind of problem you have, there may not be any possible solution that is much simpler than EJB.

There's a reason all these architectures wind up being horrible. The problem is horrible, and there's no simple, clean solution for it.
I think that phrase was just mostly meant for the average reader of the article.

If you read the study they link, it explains the immune boosting/modulating functions of the honey.

Example: Furthermore, the ability of honey to reduce ‘reactive intermediates release’[23] may well limit tissue damage by activated macrophages during wound healing. Thus, the immunomodulatory property of honey is relevant to wound repair.

I've seen this stuff work for wound repair first hand, and I've read enough first hand accounts of people successfully treating gut-related diseases with the help of this stuff.. so maybe don't dismiss it just yet, but if this gets very popular, I don't think NZ will be able to keep up.. the prices on the stuff are already a bit much for any average shopper.
MinoHubs: Let’s improve the developer ecosystem
Largely, it's legacy in the United States. When human specialists were in control of the book for a stock, the market opened at 9:30, and closed at 16:00. It probably hasn't changed for nearly a century.

More algorithms are trading around the clock though, since markets are more interconnected than ever. To trade effectively, you need to be more aware of what has happened since market close as well. More explicitly, instruments have global presences.

Running and maintaining systems, and trading 24/7 would be a major shift for a lot of institutions though. So, my guess is that it once an ATS can get approval to start trading continuously, outside human hours, the rest (including exchanges) will need to adapt.

Not sure if this describes Google Contributor, but I've been thinking about this as a solution:

Build an ad network that serves blank ads - content that does not try to capture the user's attention, on the contrary, tries to blend into the background of the host site.

Have users sign up for the service, paying whatever nominal amount into their account balance. Whenever a logged-in user requests a page somewhere on the internet, the service outbids all the other ad networks to make sure the user sees the blank ad instead. Whatever fraction of a penny that cost gets debited from the user's account.

If I understand the ad mechanism correctly, this will allow 1) users to filter out ads while paying for content, 2) hosting sites to collect a small payment and 3) the service to take a tiny cut to contribute towards operating expenses.

Anybody care to poke holes in this?

I also found that further development on SageMathCloud was becoming too slow and frustrating for me, even though I knew the system extremely well (certain important things turned out to be very hard using the original approach). In order to implement the features a lot of users demanded, it was necessary to use a better approach. It is starting to pay off.
Why is the closure library not as popular as other alternatives (ex: jquery)? It looks like a solid library, used by gmail, google docs and other google apps, I'm guessing is the java requirement for the compiler.
I think in both instances you're dealing with people who feel they're not being represented. It's easier to feed people an ideology no matter how it's sold so long as it promises the redress of grievances left unaddressed by the old order. It's like how people talk about how a specific politician will fix everything if we all just vote for that one politician. Or how even my fellow libertarians promise a utopia if we just abolish the government. Obviously, complex problems don't always yield to simple answers. But our minds are tuned to accept simplicity and the ideal over anything that's less than perfect. Perfection is such a sweet delusion to buy into.
Statistical significance? At what p-value? Controlled studies are great, but claims of "statistical significance" are not as strong as we make them to be. I also don't like this idea of an arbitrary threshold.

For the nice case of comparing two hypotheses, I'd rather talk about decibels of evidence: which hypothesis does it support, and how strongly does it support it. That way you don't even have to chose a null hypothesis. (You still have to work with some "priors", but in practice you have to assume things anyway).

> Sure, use it to guide your instincts, but don't mistake it for rigorous science.

"Rigorous science" is the easy part. It's the point where you already have some insight or theory in mind, and you just have to test it. But first, you need to get that insight, or formulate your theory. At that point, your instincts is pretty much all you have.
The tests are gold
> Generally these are folks who prefer the default soldier-on-in-the-face-of-errors behavior from ... perl.

Nobody in the Perl world prefers that, outside of people who are complete newbies. In fact, collectively Perl has been yelling at newbies for decades that anything not containing `use strict;` and `use warnings;` is almost without fail broken code, mainly because there are a lot of very old and outdated tutorials which introduce these modules as optional and/or way too late.
Do people really care about a 0.04% difference in price on stock orders? When I make a market order, I'm investing, not trading. As long as my order is within a percentage point of the quote I got when I opened the trade window, I really don't care. My intention is to make tens or hundreds of percentage points on my investment over years.

Were I trading, I might think differently, but traders should be expected to know about limit orders.
T-Mobile is very upfront about tethering. It tells you exactly how much tether data you get.
I realize what you're talking about.

The problem is that you talk about what you perceive as flaws in the disease model (theory) in your original post, and unsubstantiatedly claim that 'It posits one notion of normal and then divides everything into "normal therefore fine" or "different, therefore broken".', which is incorrect (as pointed out by DanBC).

If someone applies the model incorrectly, that doesn't undermine the model.

I have looked, and I have heard the arguments you are talking about, some of which I agree with (as you can see from earlier posts), but a common sentiment amongst some of these seem to be the almost conspiratorial belief that it is all based upon suppressing anything other than normal behavior.

I think it is more reasonable to suggest that the bar might be set too low when it comes to this diagnosis in the U.S., than it is to discredit the illness entirely because of what amounts to misdiagnosis. The subject is fraught with nuance.

As for the use of sources, there is clearly a discrepancy between our posts, though mine are admittedly often from Wikipedia.

This strikes me as preemptive optimization. That's a lot of argument to back up, though I think it has merit.

I would feel much more comfortable with straight up metered internet, variably-priced based on current congestion. I would feel much more inclined to believe you if it didn't look like the service providers were trying to change the meaning of internet access—it shouldn't matter which kind of device is "plugged in". That's just terrible service.
So SSL was never throttled? Seems like there's got to be more to it than that. Like a TTL value on the packets?
Yes, they do – you take a C compiler (written in ASM) that is just good enough to compile TCC, now you prove that the source of TCC and GCC is right, you compile TCC with your simple compiler, then compile GCC with TCC, and you have a compiler which is guaranteed to be free of such backdoors.

Now, you compile your code with this compiler, and if your own build reproducibly has the same results as this verified compiler, you're safe.
What's the rationale? Who are the target users? I go to the site and I have no idea what exactly this does that's better than the alternatives. It sounds like its trying to do everything.

To be fair, T-Mobile is quite explicit about the limitations. When I look at my plan options it explicitly says "7GB tethered data".

I just don't like that "tethering" is a thing at all as opposed to just "using your phone's radio".

> The program succeeded despite corruption. The Times of India recently reported that an audit had found clearly fraudulent payments — including some to a 60-year-old woman registered as having been pregnant five times in 10 months.

I'm uncomfortable with the meme of corruption in public welfare programs (and I may be overreacting to the author's implication, but I still think my point applies more generally). There is corruption in every program and institution, from private business to religion to government to little league baseball. If you have thousands or millions of people involved, some will behave badly; it's the nature of humanity. We can't wait to do things until the institution or the people it services are saints.

Not all corruption is equal, and absolutely we should find ways to minimize it (which usually involves looking in the mirror and making systemic changes, not complaining about the inevitable, well-established consquences of our current system). But considering the string of massive corruption scandals on Wall Street, for example, I'm surprised when people think government and welfare programs are particularly corrupt.

Yes. My wife was given medication not FDA approved by her doctor. She had to order it from a pharmacy in Canada, but it was all legit. The (US) doctor wrote her a script and filled out some sort of paperwork for the government, as I understand it.

And no, her doctor isn't some quack who regularly prescribes unapproved medicine. Apparently this particular drug is approved in Canada and Europe, but the company that makes it is small enough that they haven't yet decided to apply for FDA approval because of the cost. (Or at least, that's what I've been told.)
> it shouldn't matter which kind of device is "plugged in". That's just terrible service.

For all of T-Mobile's plans except for the "unlimited" plan, it doesn't. I have 1GB of LTE data, after I use it on my device or through tethering I get throttled to EDGE and tethering is disabled until the end of my billing cycle.

Users on the "unlimited" plan only get unlimited usage on their device to prevent network congestion from people using it as their primary internet connection for their home (and there is a lot more people that would try to do this than you would think). These users get a separate 7GB bucket of tethering usage, and it is plainly spelled out when choosing a plan.
there is a much better way to deal with this:

It seems to be that if you have an older Android Wear watch and have previously paired it with an Android device to get the latest version of Android Wear then it'll work.

Otherwise if you want out-of-the-box support you need a newer watch that already shipped with the version of Android Wear that supports iOS.
But what benefit does that actually have? People aren't going to remember this interaction or learn anything, they're just to be annoyed at having to come up with that number. They might even put off the transaction.

I would be in favor of restricting the use of market orders by non-professionals during any time a market special rule is in place (circuit breakers, Rule 48, etc.) However, I think allowing them during normal market operation makes transacting easier for investors, which is also a good thing.

Thanks for pointing out the ambiguity.

Closure would probably be the most interesting (or close to the most interesting) project to work on inside of Google-proper, for me personally. That said, Google's approach is very much on the opposite side of FB's, in that Google expects the vast majority of code to be written for it. FB is dealing with a legacy codebase and has fewer engineers, so has to strike a different set of tradeoffs - less up-front work to integrate their tooling for potentially less benefit than something like Closure can deliver. It's interesting to see the two different approaches.

Anyway, this thread is about Closure, which enables ClojureScript, which is my go to language these days. The developers working on the compiler and the stdlib (which is amazing) should feel proud about all the people they've enabled.

I think I was being misunderstood.

Even if it wasn't connected to a surfboard (assuming the OnHub was also capable of being a modem), you would then need to route a coax cable to the middle of the room. There's 0 reason to keep the surfboard physically close to the AP, and IMO, it's preferable to not keep it close (because that way I can keep my network switch near the modem instead hidden behind all my electronics never to be seen). Either way, you will be routing a cable to the center of the room, you're just deciding whether you're routing a coax cable or an ethernet cable.
The reverse is true as well. I have a dev-ops job description, but I've been tasked at one point with creating and maintaining a web app. Arguably, it's a lot simpler to write a new webapp with Google than try to determine how to configure the particular version OpenLDAP you're running or debug the last guy's custom schema.

But really, the author here is just misguided. Just because you can 'figure it out' eventually, doesn't mean you'll be cost effective at it. Employee productivity comes from specialization. It's not about how many jobs you can do, it's how quickly you can do them well. When developers are paid well, it's because they have specialized knowledge, just like DBAs and network engineers. There's not even really a need to put developers on some fucking pedestal make the argument against 'full stack developers.' It functions purely as bait for angry comments.

You can still use 23 and Me to get your results, but you have to go elsewhere (like to your doctor) to interpret the results. They were basically giving patients a diagnosis without going through the proper legal work to be able to give diagnoses. It would be no different than some random person giving you a medical diagnosis without being an actual licensed doctor.

This was not a case of over regulation. It was pretty simple, and the FDA tried repeatedly to work with 23 and Me to bring them into compliance, but the company basically ignored the FDA's requests for meetings and information. They have nobody to blame but themselves, and what happened was good for consumers.
