Why would the Washington Post post this? This is pretty awful by any sort of journalistic standard.

The film described sounds interesting, but it has absolutely nothing to do with Uber.
There is a relatively liquid market for bonds. Let's say I issue a bond today. I set the interest rate at 3% per year for 10 years. A lot of different people buy those bonds (for ease of math, assume that an individual bond is $100). If they do nothing, every year that someone owns bond they'll receive $3, then at the end of ten years they get the extra $100 back.

Let's say that one day later someone wants to sell all the bonds that they bought. Naturally more sellers than buyers for a market means that the price will drop. So the bond now costs $90 to buy. However it will still pay the (new) owner $3 per year and $100 back at the end, so it's effective rate of return is now above 3.33% [The actual rate is higher since you get more money back than the $90 you put in, but this is a good lower bound for the new rate of return].

Now I come back right after this price drop occurred and realize "Oh crap, I need to issue more bonds today!" If I try and set the same terms on the new bonds, nobody will buy them, since they could just buy the ones I issued in the secondary market and make more money for the same risk. As a result, I have to increase the interest rate I pay for future bonds I issue. Thus China selling bonds increases the long term interest rates.

Note that it may not increase long term interest rates in the long term, though :-)

That isn't what happens. What happens is women can't do it, so they change the physical requirements. Which is why for years, "lady marines" or whatever you're supposed to call them didn't have to do pull ups, and when they gender normed it, the standard went from 10 to 3 chin ups (which 55% of women failed).

New Tesla Breaks Consumer Reports' Ratings Scale, Bolsters Company's Stock
Well I think the Uber-ization should be on the consumer side, not the production side. What Uber has that taxi don't is not how Uber have so much tools for the drivers to use, taxi company can do and are doing the same thing. The difference is a new way for passenger to find a ride instead of waiting on the sidewalk.

So the Uber of porn would be more like you choose from an app specifying the features of the actress/actor, scene, plot line, the "moves", and other stuff. And then the company will automatically generate a script and find the right people to shoot it for you. I'm not sure that'll work though.

"Sex worker" != prostitute

But either way, you could certainly make that argument. I think there are two problems with the analogy, one specific and one general.

1. I think the purpose of the medium defines the description of the job. Narrative art that includes sex could be construed as a different "job" than participating in sex for erotica.

2. Sevigny and Gallo were dating at the time, which complicates the notion of prostitution but not at all "sex work."

It's not recursion in the sense that it calls itself. However, it does divide the problem into smaller (though explicitly defined) chunks, which is still recursion.

In 2015, you need about one hour to go from Paris to Bondy.

Our politicians prefer to revert to 1815, rather than to build modern infrastructure needed to transform the city into an efficient and modern environment.

(Now of course, teletransportation might become soon available to the masses and the problem become mute, but in the meantime, it's a shame that one cannot travel faster today than 200 years ago; the newly installed and very expensive trams go SLOWER than autobuses (and bicycles at that)).
YC is a for profit company, they're looking for a return on investment with the occasional "non profit" to impress the community and feel good.

This reminds me of the driving I saw when I traveled to India many years ago. On relatively-major "two-lane" roads, trash and draft-animal traffic would force trucks to drive basically in the center of the road. When two trucks met, they would each swerve slightly to the right so as to barely avoid crashing. Before they met, however, they would each turn on their left signal light. Our driver said it was supposed to intimidate oncoming traffic into leaving more room.

Key bits of the world's infrastructure still run on a bunch of flimsy shell scripts that seem like they'd break all the time but don't. If a computer program works reliably at all it will probably work reliably indefinitely, assuming the environment it lives in does not change substantially.

We probably all trust our lives to high end routers and medical equipment powered by shell scripts (or worse) every day. The code would scare you but, surprisingly, it will probably never fail you.

Linked lists would only be unintuitive if you wanted to apply them to a sequential block of memory like that. Linked lists are used in non-sequential blocks of memory, though you can use them in sequential blocks. It sometimes makes sense to, but really only in an embedded systems context where you're doing some other fun things like writing your own memory management system using preallocated arrays as heaps so that your memory usage doesn't grow unbounded.

Therein lies the problem. On many of the questions that psychology studies, people are deeply committed to an intuitive answer.

A layperson reading any psychology experiment will either say "That's obvious! You spent how much establishing something everyone already knows?" or "No way. You must be twisting the data to make a name for yourself." Particularly when it touches hot-button issues like "to what extent are [people I don't like] in control of their own situations?"

You don't get that around physics quite so much.

The only serious study comparing LaTex and "Word" that I know of: http://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal....

Using LaTex is less efficient than using "Word", according to this study. LaTex users are reported as more satisfied than "Word" users, however, which goes along with the results of this study: http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.418.... That is, efficiency, effectiveness and satisfaction are rarely all measured in the same experiment, and when they are, they don't correlate.
PS - I don't believe this study for a minute.

Recursion is prohibited in embedded contexts because it allows for, potentially, unbounded growth of the call stack. In the embedded world we have to know how much space things need.

By "Japan" you mean major cities in Japan. An hour or two outside Tokyo, public transportation is 1 bus every 30 minutes.

First, this is an expensive place to live. A really expensive place to live. Oddly, my landlord doesn't take options.

Second, options are binary. There are very few outcomes for a company where the amount of options you have matters. Either you make a couple million dollars or you make very little/nothing. Cash now and $2mm instead of $3mm in an extremely unlikely future is a good trade.
> The only factor that did [affect the likelihood of successful reproduction] was the strength of the original effect — that is, the most robust findings tended to remain easily detectable, if not necessarily as strong.

This is probably just regression to the mean. The comment above suggests to me that the tendency for the findings in replicated experiments to be weaker does NOT necessarily come from any flaw in the experimental design, but from the criteria for findings to be published.

You would expect any given effect to show some variation around a mean effect size. My lab and your lab might arrive at slightly different results, varying around some mean/expected result. If your lab's results meet statistical significance, you get to publish. If my lab's don't, I don't get to. So the published results are the studies that, on average, show a stronger effect than you might see if you ran the study 100 times.

> Yet very few of the redone studies contradicted the original ones; their results were simply weaker.

If a third lab replicates the experiment, their results are more likely to be close to the (possibly non-publishable) mean value than the (publishable) outlier value. So on average, repeating an experiment will give you a LESS significant result.

If the strength of the original effect (and thus probably the mean effect strength over many repeated experiments) is larger, the chance of replicated experiments also being statistically significant is higher.

In other words, these new results are very predictable and don't necessarily indicate that anything is wrong.

And yet Rust still provides tremendously more type safety in this application thanks to the lifetime system statically verifying the accessibility of the guarded data. It's true that unsafety is a stateful property than a local one, but unsafety still has to involve the unsafe block somehow and that's enormously useful for auditing, debugging, and providing general assurance towards code correctness.
Very strange that nobody mentioned relative mainstream language that has the same feature: F#

The presence of “unsafe” doesn’t make Rust unsafe. It’s memory-safe by default—you just use “unsafe” to assert to the type system that you have personally verified the invariants that the type system can’t verify. And if it turns out you were wrong and get a segfault or what have you, you can grep the code for those bits you need to verify. The enemy, as they say, is Murphy, not Machiavelli.

Of course your experience is as anecdotal as mine - I find academia much more forgiving than startup land/corporate land. It's also worth noting that academia is a broad term with many different professions encompassed within it.
I tried Rust about a year ago, and it was pretty horrible. Not intuitive and broken back then. Maybe it's better now, and benchmarks are great, but also show me its community and how practical and easy it would be to use.

I like Mozilla and would like to see Rust succeed, but I just see adoption as too risky right now. It's like when Go was the new-and-shiny; many jumped on the hype bandwagon because it was Google backing it and it was fast, then tried it out and realized it was a language for the <5% of teams that have projects that fit well.

Performance is an awesome thing and there is definitely a place for Rust. But, I don't see it taking the place of C, C++, or Java anytime soon for writing high performance or portable apps. All the same, I look forward to using it in a web browser!

They are prepared that way from the start. They are prepared in a state such that measurements along the same axis (for spin) will be anit-correlated.

the "spookiness" only comes into it when you try to understand how this would happen in a classical system.

This isn't a classical system, it's a quantum mechanical system. It's just how quantum mechanics works.

A good analogy is: how do electromagnetic waves travel through a vacuum? If you try to understand "how" from the perspective of someone who only has experience of sound waves which travel mechanically through a medium, the fact that electro magnetic waves travel through a vacuum may appear spooky.

But it's not, that's just what electro magnetic waves do. We can express this behaviour mathematically and predict how electro magnetic waves will behave and then verify those predictions experimentally.

Does this mean we know how they travel? No. We only know that they do. Do we know how quantum entanglement works? No, we only know that it does. We can express the behaviour mathematically and make predictions that are verified experimentally. No more spooky than radio.
