The German number is measuring the cost. The US is measuring the amount that universities charge. Those are two very different things.

The actual cost is probably still substantially smaller in Germany -- IMO higher ed is one of those areas where markets create lots of inefficiences that a mostly or completely socialized system doesn't have (e.g., spending tens of millions on fancy new buildings and other amenities designed to attract people).

N=1 sample, not to prove anything but sharing an anecdote: I'm nicotine-taking non-smoker, consuming it in form of nicotine gums. I haven't noticed any effect of it on my weight over the period of last two years. I did respond to ketogenic diet however, but found it hard to maintain over long periods of time - basically it's a big time and cognitive investment to invent new foods that you won't puke on out of a limited set of ingredients. I do think that a lot of diets would work if they were the only thing people have to think about during the day. Alas, the cognitive demands of our fast-moving, competitive world are strong.
As someone with twenty years of C++ experience, I will say I don't see why that would be difficult to implement in C++... it doesn't even seem hard... it is the kind of thing I would have been writing over ten years ago, actually: you just have a partial template specialization of a private base class that takes a boolean predicate as a template parameter to check for "one of these types has a sentinel value and the other type can be represented as a sentinal value" (you could even keep a count of sentinal as you lay out multiple types: count up the number that can be represented as sentinels and then verify all types have at least that many available sentinels; some types could seriously be friendly and provide a near infinite number of sentinels do to having otherwise invalid states, and this would be quite trivially handled in a generic way any type could slot into), and then you can use the null-or-not to collapse the storage of Some(T) and None.

> This means that a lot of angels are getting forced out of a lot of deals they might have been in before, or have to enter a deal through a syndicate and take a 20-30% haircut on the carry.

Or maybe the growth of these super-angel funds means "only" money isn't enough to get direct access to deals. "Only" money means you're going to pay the toll/carry. But money + advice/connections/intros/brand is your ticket to direct participation.

At a time when startups can start with relatively low capital requirements, the "strategic" part of "strategic investor" would seem to be the valuable part.

But, I wouldn't worry too much about angels getting cut out entirely. If "their margin is [your] opportunity" (Jeff Bezos), then founders should be able to get better terms from a direct angel investment. Or, maybe more accurately, an angel investing directly should be willing to pay a higher price given that there is no carry.

This is fantastic. Manipulating ratings is a big business, and it is good to see that Amazon is being aggressive toward this.

There was a time last year when they gave MediaBridge a rough time after they hired a lawyer to harass genuine reviewers. This is a much more proactive approach compared to Yelp, who is hoping congress passes anti-SLAPP laws.

If nothing else, this move may call attention to how much mischief is allowed in online ratings.

The article takes a different tenor when you consider that is not a story about how the author came to logically prove that theism is more likely than atheism, but it is about how the author come to feel that being a theist is a better life than being atheist. Religion is a powerful idea, not because it is true (that cannot be proven) but because in its best form it is psychologically extremely useful.

Life is important. OK, cats kill many animals during the week to live, many per night even. We obviously have a moral obligation to save them from cats.

It's not true there are so many feral cats.... ok so we have to kill far less, which is better for everyone.

TL;DL I like cats (because humans have breed them to be likeable) and I don't like making hard choices.

Pocket on Android can also do this, I never thought it as a problem, but a functionality that facilitated share of urls from apps that can not share urls to other apps on my phone, but can copy the url.
(declare (disclaimer (anecdotes follow)))

True. For many people issue lies, I feel, not with changing things, but with knowing what to change and how. Most people - myself included - have pretty streamlined diet: they know what they like, where to buy ingredients for that cheap and how to prepare them. Even starting on a stable, maintainable diet requires you to think through what exactly to change, what new components are needed, where to source them and how to alter your preparation routines. You want to do it in such a way as not to deprive yourself of important nutrients, or else your body will say "fuck it" and force you to break the diet (or if you're particularly strong willed, you'll feel like crap all the time). If you do this, it's easy to keep on diet, but you have to do a big investment up front. I've personally done this once; procrastinated months on it, but after I sit down and made the necessary time investment, my weight reacted to changes pretty much instantly.

But I can see how most people simply don't have time for diet. It's kind of like being poor - you could get a lot more for the same amount of money if you have enough capital available to do bulk purchases. But if you're living paycheck-to-paycheck, you don't have enough money to buy cheap.

Also that's why some people are willing to pay for someone else to figure it out for them. I personally know someone struggling with weight for almost two decades, for whom the solution for instant weight loss was to pay someone else to micromanage their food - she got a list of allowed choices and amounts for all meals a given week and - what I think was a key trick - a protein powder alternative to use if she didn't like a particular meal. It had pretty much no taste, but it was a line of retreat that let you skip something you don't like without breaking the diet.

Lots of proteins have natural fluorescence. You'll notice this if you shine blacklight in ocean water - it'll glow brightly from all of the little microorganisms that aren't intending to fluoresce but do so incidentally. There are also bioluminescent organisms but that's different.
I think it really comes down to the strength of the effect. If the anti-fungal has only a marginal effect on outcome, a large n control group helps tease out statistical significance. If the anti-fungal has a strong readily observable effect, the whole study gets un-blinded and everyone starts getting it pretty quickly anyway.

The reality is the control group and the test group are not the exact same people and often it's not even completely true everyone is dealing with the "exact same" disease (different genes, different mutations, different past treatment regimens, etc.). I definitely believe there are cases where a control is setup because "that's how it must be done" and not because it's going to actually provide any useful data at the end of the day to tell you anything about how the test group actually performed.

Another way I've seen this done which is a little less wasteful, and when you have high confidence in your new treatment, is to tweak the standard treatment marginally in some way you think might provide some small improvement in both groups, but in a way that could never justify its own full study. Like you modify the dosing schedule, add some vitimin, diet, or exercise change in some way you think will help both groups. But again you can only afford to do that if you are expecting a very strong effect from your new additive treatment which would blow away your tweak statistically, else you risk hiding a small benefit of the new treatment in your tweak.

In other words, you give every participant the best damn chance and the best care you can legally give them, and 50% of them know they are on something new which could be a blockbuster, and if it is, the whole group will get early access to it anyway.
Solid point -- the py import system uses global sys.modules, so npm-style nested deps couldn't happen on a vanilla python.

That said, it's not impossible to hack the import command to use a different package tree per module. The main difficulty would be supporting the different ways of storing modules (eggs, filesystem, .so support).
I know, but the website address is still data that I input into the application. My point was that it doesn't only leak fluffy metadata that I don't directly input into the application.
Replace that with one of the parents working less. Or in case of single-parent households, with the parent working two shifts instead of three. Additional income helps one redirect some time from work to children, in one way or another, and kids benefit from that time.

Well 1Password is a good solution, expect this meta leaking and I guess U.S. gov can hoover up all that data and see where you are logging in, but I don't know, you just have to weight the options. Actually now that I'm employed and not a student I could easily afford LastPass' yearly fee for mobile, but the LogMeIn buying them thing is a big no-no for me for now. I have to check back in few months or a year and see if LastPass is still usable. Or maybe I'll just try my hand at writing myself a custom solution

If you read the article, it clearly says that they let you do the first half of the Masters in this degree program online for much cheaper than doing it on campus. Then if you do well enough they give you a certificate for that part, and if you want you can do the second half of the Masters at that point, paying half of the normal amount you would pay for the full Masters degree.

If nothing else, this restricts the set of people who end up paying for that second half to those who have already demonstrated they can handle the work.
Let me try to fix the confusion in this subthread.

The 8080, Z-80, 6502, etc are 8-bit processors that support BCD arithmetic, 2 digits at a time. The 6502 has a decimal mode flag that enables BCD arithmetic. The 8080 and descendants use a DAA (Decimal Adjust Accumulator) instruction that fixes up the BCD digits after doing a binary add.

The x86 supports packed BCD (2 digits per byte) or unpacked BCD (1 digit per byte) in the general purpose registers, and 10-byte, signed 18 digit BCD integers in the FPU registers. It has additional adjust operations DAS (Decimal Adjust after Addition), AAA, AAS, AAM, AAD (ASCII Adjust after Addition/Subtraction/Multiplication/Division for unpacked values).

The 1401 is a decimal machine with one BCD digit per character. It has 6-bit characters, along with a word mark bit and a parity bit with each character.
Intel server chips are usually about a year behind desktop chips. Broadwell was delayed for desktop and will likely be delayed for server too. Most of the providers advanced enough to offer hourly pricing are running server (xeon) chips for their whole fleet, so expect a wait. Skylake Pentiums are supposed to be in the market now (but aren't), so that might be a lower cost option.
To increase difficulty, I would try two things:

1. have the boom/recession cycle independent for each city

2. make the cycle more complex, potentially by adding multiple cycles of different periodicity together (wave addition)

These could be combined to, for example, have long period boom/recession cycles globally, and shorter term local cycles.

Was really fun overall :)

Hopefully compulsory pet de-sexing will be coming to South Australia soon as well. While I appreciate that dogs can be a hazard to people and livestock, I wish my local government took animal control seriously when cats were involved. They have a schedule of nearly 50 different fees and expiation payments relating to dogs on their website. In relation to cats they suggest people identify their pets but do not mandate it.

They have a $4000 fine for an unauthorised person killing a cat within 1km of a dwelling but nothing to penalise owners at all except for threat of destruction of unidentified animals.
