Like others have said, mostly based off of experience and reference.

For example, I've baked a pizza enough times _with_ a timer and specific, but different temperatures set that now I need neither and can just adjust the temperature to what I'm used to and know that the pizza only needs a certain amount of time. The end result should be a certain way. As long as it gets there correctly then whether there's a timer/no timer it should be fine.
Most companies will have a "reasonable personal use" clause (e.g., shopping Amazon on your lunch break, etc) with regards to company PCs. I never assumed that they weren't logging EVERYTHING, especially once everyone was forced to switch to MS Lync for internal IM.

The last BigCo I worked for had a hard-coded login screen on the Windows machines that stated the company use policy in large text and that user activity on company equipment could be monitored at any time and no expectation of privacy was to be assumed.

Being in IT, I was told by the security and proxy guys (who I worked closely with) that they only usually had to pull up logs when it was necessary to fire someone - stuff like oilfield workers browsing kiddie porn from drill sites and such. It happened a lot more than you'd expect.
I'd like to see your full setup for your claim about 10x slower, because I suspect you're doing something wrong.
Simplification. People don't play counterstrike or starcraft to not get killed in it - not playing achieves the same.

They play to compete in something they consider "cool". And competing without the possibility of losing is pointless.
Random thought, do people quantify investment in politics, if not in pure numbers, at least in some ball park figures ? Like, markets are down, we are better off investing 10 million in presidential elections.
"Please point to the scientific research that states that psychedelics definitely do not affect your rectum"

Scientific research doesn't work like that. Scientists don't set out to prove that links between arbitrary things don't exist.

Because there's no research that disproves any link between toothpaste and baldness, doesn't mean we can't use common sense based on what we know about toothpaste and baldness to all but rule out any link in the absence of that research. What we do know about toothpaste and baldness, does not point or suggest any link between the two.

Likewise, what we know about psychedelics and cancer of the rectum, is that the two would unlikely be connected. From the extremely small amounts of drugs needed to affect consciousness, to the aggressive disease attacking your cells. Even in a biological sense they are worlds apart.

Finally, the "mind over body" idea is more about our minds over our healthy bodies - keeping things such as blood flow and other systems healthy. Once those cancerous tumours start growing, there's no scientific data or even a reasonable theory to suggest "the mind", be it under the influence of drugs or not, has any fighting ability to repair localised cancerous cells and prevent further spreading.

Sorry if I'm missing something but what's preventing the employer from creating stocks with 100000x liquidation preference for themselves after they have given the employees their equity? That would mean the employees stocks would be worth nothing at a sale? See also hellbanners comment about dividends. What is the actual value of having the stock?

What are you talking about? I was showing how ridiculous the strawman is that it's a simple 'people vs business' decision. People and business are ultimately one and the same.

There is not one single country that has a terrible economy with a good life for its citizens. Unless the country is just riding on massive natural resources, the people have to work enough to sustain the lifestyle they live. Other countries aren't going to support them indefinitely.
Both behaviors are documented and "if not midnight" adds a fair bit of complexity, probably a good idea to know exactly what happens when you write that.

Oh, good grief. The article is a list of cases where the "improvement" provided by a given group is most often characterized as "taking advantage of someone else when they are in a difficult situation".
It is. Some studios actually do this (e.g. Blizzard, High Moon, some had done it before they had been shut down). The problem is that Agile has been designed for a process at a service firm, one that does work for hire. As far as I understand, in that business you don't really want to ship. Instead of shipping you want to keep your customers engaged and paying your invoices as long as possible, preferably forever. This can also be useful for a firm that provides continuous service since there is no shipping involved too. And there is nothing wrong with it. But games have to ship. Continuous development without a hard shipping date is called "development hell" [1] in game industry.

From what I've seen Agile does not work very well here, at least on the engineering side. Design might be doing something similar to Agile on a small scale.

But the "improvements" aren't really harming anybody that much, it's not like Scientology or something.
To bring this full circle, my wife's sugar thermometer has the stages ("soft ball" etc) marked on it alongside the temperatures.

To insert a side rant on the subject: this is why IoT cooking gizmos like smart pand get a terrible reception. Because there's already a full set of tranditional techniques for cooking, most of which are fairly easy to learn with time.
Instagram's terms of use and privacy policy are less explicit about rights to redistribute your content (than Twitter), but there are several lines like "Once you have shared User Content or made it public, that User Content may be re-shared by others." Most of their policies are about absolving them of any responsibility of what happens with that re-sharing.

They initially used her (public, tagged) photo in a photo gallery on the site, and requested permission for standard commercial use (print ads, signage, paid placements, etc). Possibly the reporter's questioning led them to begin to comment-request permission for any photo they pull, but I can appreciate a media team drawing a distinction between the types of usage.

The hashtag is only relevant in that it's reasonable you are drawing interested parties to see your photo, and the nature of a publishing platform means it's practical to expect that photo to be reused. I don't believe anyone could successfully argue a hashtag by itself is explicit permission, but the combination of publication, tagging, and no effort to control usage would seem to be some kind of implicit permission. Practically, as the site policy stresses, once the image is public it's outside of your control. (and without explicit denial, this incident's usage seems implicitly allowed)

"Russia was a backwards country in 1917"
Russia has lost a war in 1917.

It was not a backwards country in 1914. This is a soviet hoax so widely spread.

Surely, it lacked in some areas, but it was already industrializing fast, building ships, cars, planes, railroads and stuff. Then came soviets and took credit for all aforementioned.
> There is way too much disconnection in academia.

It depends. Sometimes there is, when you sit among 500 mostly disinterested peers in a lecture hall and lecturer is taunting you that he is there to make half of you fail.

And sometimes you stay in the lab late into the night because you know, that your advisor needs these results to extend his grant money. And all your lab-mates are like "But you are just a master's student, you shouldn't care about this publish-grant-cycle BS untill second year of your PHD!"

I think your question is a bit more involved than "just cook it". Pastry evolved over many years. Techniques were developed and learned and passed on.

This involves more than just the temperature of the oven. When baking bread you want long gluten chains, so you need the bread. But for most pastries you don't want that so you need to distribute the fat without building up the gluten chains.

https://vintagecookbooktrials.wordpress.com/2011/02/27/a-sho...

> The many different kinds of pastry which are made in Britain today have evolved over the centuries from a crude flour and water dough mixture invented by the Romans. The paste was wrapped around meat and game before roasting and was not intended to be eaten. It served only to retain meat juices and aroma.
Does anybody else find it creepy when people say things like "diversity in any field makes it richer","diversity is our strength", etc... with a straight face? Very Orwellian.

WRT assumptions we carry around with us:

The Soviet Union seemed to have adjusted to undertaking bloody "pacifications" in Eastern Europe every 12 years - Hungary in 1956, Czechoslovakia in 1968, Poland in 1980

One should really compare the bloodliness of those pacifications with similar ones undertaken against Iraq or Libya. The difference would be dramatic.

Not that I am defending soviet regime. Adding insult to injury, they routinely failed their PR campaigns.

Pie charts are good if you want to say e.g. "Hey! A large parr of our problems are caused by X!" That's actually what Florence Nightingale used them for when she popularized them, she showed the British military leaders that "Hey! Most of our troop deaths are caused by infections in soldiers with minor injuries! We can fix that!"
Ah, yes, sorry:

I meant:

If instead of each person checking if an opinion is held by the majority of the people they know,

and seeing what the typical result for that would be,

what if the operation was doubled?

So, each person would check what the majority opinion is among those they know, and then store that value.

Then each person would check what the majority of /those/ values are among the people they know.

I was wondering if this might partially undo the effects from some people being known to more people.

so, if a person x 's opinion on a topic is f(x), and the friends of a person is x.friends

then instead of majority(map(f,x.friends)) , instead use majority(map(lambda z:majority(map(f,z.friends)), x.friends))

So instead of using "what opinions do I see", instead using "what opinions do I see people saying they see". Would that be a more or less accurate measure of "what opinions do people have"?
The article is pretty thin on substance.

> in a nation that is being remade by the young, by women, and by black and brown voters.

While this is a certain class of activist wet dream, the reality contradicts it. Big business is becoming increasingly good at doing what is best for them. They also learned to use treaties for overriding/bypassing a nation's laws. Power is getting increasingly concentrated.
> It is the largest aircraft ever to have disappeared without a trace.

The US has an adversarial system.

- The prosecution, police and crime lab are solely focused on conviction, and

A little bonus crazy: in the US prosecutors have absolute immunity for anything they do during the prosecution.
I also got into a bread-baking period a while ago. It's wonderful to eat your own bread every morning even though it's not always perfect. Makes it much more interesting that you can test a new flower mix every time.

The base receipe I used was
240 g flour,
0.35 l water,
5 g yeast,
salt

And the most important part, 12 hour leavening time, no kneading and a cast iron pan preheated in the oven. Makes for very easy baking.

Hopefully this is the learning stage for how to handle detailed metrics. It feels like customer satisfaction and worker satisfaction are isolated from these metrics, so the picture they produce guides managers to focus on a gamut of minute gains that are mostly uncontrollable or unrealistic rather than produce long term sustainable practices. They also seem untethered from human psychology.

Slight tangent from the article but related: when someone starts parroting fiduciary duty you know that business is in for the short haul. You can't have a sustainable business if you don't complete the job wholly and professionally, nor have workers who respect the organization they work for. Like squeezing a stress ball, the bulk of the fluid will move from where your grip is tight to where it is not. Grip it tight from all sides and it'll eventually burst. Be firm but fair and always use the Golden Rule.
Dang! I was working on something like this, but for data in general.

I was thinking of using it for things with I guess a large space, because I thought I needed like 5 words, not 3. Or, no, it looks like I was using a smaller word list. Yeah.

I was thinking of using it to, for one thing, refer to people in a unique way.

I also had some other ideas for uses.

As far as implementation went, I had a python 2.7 bytes <-> words converter, but I hadn't quite fixed a bug leading to extra 0s at the end.
Sous vide is revelation for delicate proteins and transforms low and slow for tough ones.

For everything else there is pressure cooker (which by the virtue of its design is extremely high tech/precise instrument).
There are some kinds of food that evolved out of that question. French tarte flambée (a very thin pizza-like dough with a topping of sour cream, bacon and onions) was used to determine if the oven has the right temperature for bread. If the temperature is right is bakes in a handful of minutes. So you'd heat up the oven and do a couple of test-bakes with a quick tarte. Then you'd bake the bread while not heating the oven. After the bread, the oven has the right temperature for cakes.

That's far from an old thing - gas ovens are still in wide use, at least in the UK, and recipes will commonly mention both a temperature in degrees and the appropriate gas mark.

Having said that, gas ovens are a pain to use until you've got used to the one you've got. I've never had one where the actual temperature of the oven matched the gas mark it was set to. Typically you'll have to benchmark it with an oven thermometer and then adjust whatever the recipe says to fit.

Gas hobs however, you can take from my cold dead hands. I'd rather use a camp stove than an electric hob. Nothing beats instantaneous heat adjustments.

You want `x is False`, because `0 == False`: Python didn't originally have integers so `0` and `1` were used for `False` and `True` respectively. In order not to break existing code using equality comparisons (rather than implicit truthiness) or typechecking, when booleans were introduced `bool` was made a subclass of `int`, and `False` and `True` equal to respectively `0` and `1`.

This is one of the warts which wasn't changed in Python 3.

Besides the mentioned debunks of wat, the

all([[[]]]) == True

makes perfect sense, because the all all does is check the truthiness of the argument's elements. An empty list is false, non-empty is true, no matter the contents.
"Don’t ever move into an apartment, TIC, condo, or house that has been cleared by an eviction."

This is impossible in practice. But more importantly, it is one of those hopelessly naive idealistic rules. Apartments will be rented out, whether it is by you or someone else. Changing an economic trend requires more than rent control and well-intentioned protests.
Steve Yegge comes to rescue:

So... one minor, teeny-weeny almost insigificant caveat before I continue: I have smoked marijuana (and inhaled it, deeply) on more occasions than I can count. And yet I'm almost undoubtedly smarter than your kid that you're so goddamned worried about. I skipped three grades (3rd, 7th and 8th), entered high school at age 11 and graduated at age 14, took A.P. courses, had stellar SAT scores, was a U.S. Navy nuclear reactor operator, went to the University of Washington and earned a Computer Science degree, worked at major corporations like Amazon.com and Google for many years as a senior staff engineer and/or senior development manager, and now I'm an internationally famous blogger.

I don't usually dwell on that, but today it's relevant. It's relevant because I've smoked a LOT of pot, and I dare you to prove that it has impaired me in any scientifically detectable way. We would debate, and you would lose; nevertheless I double-dog dare you.
However, I would argue that if he wasn't a foil to jobs he wouldnt be nearly as interesting, there are plenty of equally/more deserving engineering geniuses in the world, no matter how gifted woz is.
Thats their point: it is most often (incorrectly) characterised as "taking advantage of some else when they are in a difficult situation". In all cases the people involved could simply choose not to take the offer, and be no worse of. They didn't, so presumably they would be better of taking the offer, regardless of what we think.
Agreed. It looks like this was caused not because the application developer or DBA caused an error, but because the system didn't allow for ticket dependencies.

I don't think my gas stove has an accurate themostat of any kind. I use my hand if I'm making a pizza or something. You have to keep an eye on the thing that's cooking I guess. If I cooked pies everyday, I would probably get it nailed down by trial and error. I wouldn't ever need to know the exact temperature as a scientific measurement though. The hand measurement is like "hot" vs. "really hot".
MH370 did hold the record for "the largest aircraft ever to have disappeared without a trace" for over a year.

But since a trace of MH370 has indeed been found, I guess we should say that the title for "the largest aircraft ever to have disappeared without a trace" has reverted back to N844AA.
>Why not do `x == False` then

Because it's no more explicit than "not x" and because it's 5 characters longer.

There's always a trade off to be made between clarity and verbosity.

Judging by the number of bugs I've squashed caused by the developer either not realizing or simply forgetting that ("", 0, 0.0, midnight, False, [], {}, None) all resolve to false, I've come to believe this is one of those times where the clarity should probably take precedence.

You can go to the other extreme by making everything explicitly statically typed which will make your code much more verbose (e.g. see Java). I believe that trade off isn't worth it either, despite the small increase in type safety.
I don't get your point, I'll try to explain better.
