"App Thinning" is a useful solution now that Apple has to support a range of devices.

Google recommends against using multiple APKs unless the file size is greater than 100MB due to the hassles Apple is apparently automating.

Discovering Gale Crater: How we did it
As the former NIH mental health head is quoted in the article:

One of the possibilities here is, by using the technologies we already have, technologies that are linked to a cellphone, technologies that are linked to the Internet, we may be able to get much more information about behavior than what we’ve been able to use in making a diagnosis

He also makes arguments for more involuntary treatment.

Some ideas like this are already in practice. Some police departments, such as Chicago's, try to predict likely criminals and pre-emptively threaten and track them.

Also, let's remember that the field of mental health gave us lobotomies, torture, and other abuses. I fear society does nothing until there's a catastrophe, and only then reacts.
Perfect is the enemy of better. There is huge room for improvement in our education system, but that doesn't mean we'd be better off with nothing.
> If you have less than 200 MB of local cache to play with, then you will be constantly discarding and redownloading content.

as far as I understood the SDK docs, iOS doesn't start purging downloaded assets until it's put in the position to having to download more than there is space for.

So unless people have very full devices and are constantly switching apps, you won't have to redownload assets.
Not just UK but even eastern europe. I find concept of "overdraft" rediculous, if there are no money on account, just deny transaction. My bank offers account in multiple curencies, option to aprove each card transaction over phone, card white list, black list... All for free.

As a counter argument, doing homework can easily train people to do thing wrong thing which takes a lot of effort to correct.

That does not preclude doing. In many cases mixing in 'homework' with class work is probably a much better use of time. AKA ask everyone what 57+49 is give them 30 seconds. Collect answers. Fix errors. Repeat.
It seems paradoxical to me that we're in the midst of a crazy Moore's Law style escalation in both storage speed (the SSD revolution) and storage density, and at the same time OS and device makers are rushing to make everything cloud-dependent and trim storage.

'Cloud' seems like it's becoming an end in itself. Put it in the cloud and give it more cloud because cloud.

https://www.reddit.com/r/keto would disagree with you. I myself stay below 20g of carbohydrates per day, and I lose ~3lbs a week on the diet, while eating cheese, meat, and green vegetables. I feel phenomenal, still get to eat food I enjoy, and wouldn't go back to a traditional carbohydrate-heavy diet if I was paid to.

The Untold Story of How the Apple Store Cube Landed in Midtown (2014)
I don't mean this applies to you, but I think one danger that we have to be aware of is our emotional desire for tasty and convenient foods to drive us to look for any potential flaw in a methodology of a study which shows them to be harmful. There's also an analogue with industry-funded studies where they unethically suppress results that don't agree with their goal.

Personally I am not willing to trust my health the status quo + what I deem to be the best of science because nutrition science is still in the dark ages, and I believe market forces and human instinct are pushing are food supply in a terrible direction much faster than science can keep up with the problems. Instead I am a proponent of common sense approaches like Michael Pollan advocates because it can save us from a good many pitfalls that will befall us if we wait for the science to be settled. In particular I think there is a mindset in a certain type of science-minded hacker that believes so strongly in their own objectivity that they are willing to place all their faith in science while unwittingly being undermined by their own emotions and cravings.

Staying off sugar is a huge pain in the ass because it's in everything, it's delicious, and it makes me happy when I eat it.

I think many of these results are artifacts of poor sampling choices on the part of researchers. It's very easy to introduce subtle bias into the data at every stage

Compared to what?

You can improve accuracy by optimising the way you do your calculations. A really trivial example: 10000 + .00001 - 10000 is less accurate than 10000 - 10000 + .00001. Without interval arithmetic, you can't easily measure this and decide which way round is best.

You are assuming the education of a single class takes precedence over other classes, the education of extra curricular activities, and the education of chores at home. That is a large assumption that I'm pretty sure is invalid.

The crux of this problem is that time spent in school is poorly spent for a host of reasons. If you child spends close to 7 hours at school and none of that time was available for the work that is expected to be done at home then that imposes an undue burden on the child and the family.

Rather than insisting that the needs of a schools poor use of time should supersede the families needs perhaps the solution is to fix the poor use of time instead.
nice post
Totally unsolicited advice here, dismiss it if you like - consider removing the guy's full name from your posts. As you can see, people are quick to repeat it here in this thread and I'm sure elsewhere. The guy did something wrong and in your words "spiteful", being (much less) spiteful in return isn't going to make anything better.

When I was a teenager I did something similar and was caught. I ripped off someone else's site design. The guy wasn't happy, but his response taught me a lot. I'm thankful he didn't put my name out there for the vigilantes of the internet to come calling and I learned to respect the work and creativity of others.

Some nice PR for Clara, congrats to the Clara team!

I observed this space for some time and came to following conclusion (from an investment perspective):

- There are tons of competitors, some of them very well funded such as x.ai

- Assuming that at some point, let's say 18-24 months the AI of all providers is near perfection, user should be able to just switch from one provider to the next one => where is the lock in? Maybe it's learning the user's preference and behavior?

- At the moment the AI is damn impressive but at the same time it's easy to confuse the tech; just bounce some emails back and fourth with "Hey let's meet today", "Where?", "At the Ritz, 3pm", "Ok", "hey I have to postpone, will come back to you with a new time", "no problem", "tomorrow is better, same location, same time, but let's meet directly at the restaurant"; semi-automatic systems (i think Clara is) which use human operators to do final checks might deal with such messy conversations but then it's the question about scaling again

- You can't include the bots in messenger conversations (minor)

- Having a real PA is the key to success; the better she knows you the more she will take of your shoulders. The PA very often acts as a proxy for you and sometimes it's wise to use this proxy and sometimes not—depending on the other party and their status. It's perceived as a status symbol and it sends the signal 'this person is very busy', this is in particular true in a hierarchical context like in a corporation where only higher levels have dedicated PAs. It's also common not to approach higher status people (compared to your own status) with your PA. However, having an AI PA feels just cheap, like "Hey, I am busy but I can't afford a real PA", this is the main problem, if you are really important und if you really run a successful business you NEED to have a ded PA, no AI PA will be able to do the job of a real PA; important people have two, three dozen meetings a week and just for scheduling and rescheduling you need a ded PA, less important people have so few meetings a week that they can schedule them themselves; maybe this perception will change in 10 years where AI PAs get better and better and everybody has one but the status issue still stays

Speeding Up Spark with Native Binaries
> Why is it added?

Because it's delicious.

Why do people eat too much sugar? Because they like delicious things and eating delicious things makes them happy. Maybe we should focus on why people use food to feel happy rather than why food is manufactured to make people feel happy.
but if you look at the location of most big warehouses (e.g. Amazon, Walmart) they're built outside of big cities for cost reasons, so now you have to fly twice as far to deliver packages onto the opposite side of the city

Big warehouses are dependent upon current transportation technology (trucks and big cargo ships). If drones become feasible, there's no reason we couldn't move to decentralized (retail-scale) warehousing serviced by drones.

They explained how, if I wanted to buy a sandwich and didn't have the money, it would allow me to buy the sandwich anyways. $30 extra charge just for a sandwich? They could've at least used something that was more like an emergency such as needing gas and being out of money.

I don't think this addresses the parent post, though. For one, no-one I know of wants to consider games as solely artistic artifacts. What some in the game development community are asking for is the recognition of games as a valid art form; this is orthogonal to their (admittedly dominant) commercial aspects. In my opinion, more misguided is to consider them as simply mindless entertainment whose content and message is too shallow to be discussed.

Criticism and analysis of games as cultural artifacts is both valuable and needed. Games are like mainstream movies in this regard, where we accept that even mainstream Hollywood movies have a message that can be dissected and analyzed.
This is similar in motivation to why Google separated out its shares - sometimes you want to let people invest without any associated political power of traditional stocks. While there's different types of stocks beyond even these like preferred, restricted, common, etc. it's nice to be able to separate those that have strictly economic concerns from those that have more business investment with shares.

> sending out armed teams to apprehend at-risk subjects before they have a chance to hurt themselves or others

Aout half the people shot and killed in the US have mental health problems.

The relatives recognise the person is going through a MH crisis, possibly suicidal. They call the police. Piss-poor US police then kill that person because they don't have the skills or training to deal with that person. (Note the lack of killing by police in the rest of the western world)

>Grayson covered Quinn without revealing this relationship

You're repeating lies. A quote from the article I linked above:

>But Grayson never reviewed Depression Quest. He once wrote half a sentence about the game, before his relationship with Quinn ever started, but that's it. Critics of Quinn and Grayson have also raised concerns about this Kotaku article [1]—it was written before they started dating.

This has been confirmed directly by Kotoku and Grayson on multiple occasions. Google it.

Please repeat after me: There is no smoking gun.

The entire GamerGate movement is based on lies, misogyny, and anti-feminism. Find a different hashtag if you care about journalism ethics, and stop only blaming the women. The journalist, in this case, was a man, but he wasn't doxed, just Quinn! In other cases it was the female journalists who were harassed. (Not that doxing is ever the right answer! And not that I should even have to explain that...)

No, GG is clearly not about journalistic ethics. It's a group that's attempting to bully people into reporting only what they want to hear -- and they find it easier to bully the women. Charming, really.

Find a new group to defend, or risk being painted with a rather nasty brush.

Common Core Math Is Not the Enemy
>Would it be different if it were a physical illness? That man is homeless because he chose to be due to having a broken leg.

His leg doesn't make decisions. His mind does. So if a mental illness shapes a person's thoughts for him to "decide" something, then it is choice, albeit manipulated by sickness.
Pretty cool. Would it play nice if my code uses Dapper or Linq2SQL?
Really nice way to show off the language features!
There's nothing about perfection or relative improvement here. Traditional schooling is simply not an adequate model for education, but rather persists as a quasi-day care environment for occupied laborers to drop off their children to.

We probably would be better off with nothing. For one, abandoning compulsory public schooling will lead to an explosion in democratic, free, Sudbury and other alternative school models, as well as decrease the regulatory capture for homeschoolers and unschoolers. We are at a far better position than ever before in history to suitably practice autodidacticism on a mass scale, potentially with decentralized study groups, apprenticeships and democratic schools existing to augment and pool one's skills. Private universities will still exist and be able to focus more on research and less on being High School 2.0.

Not to mention such an arrangement would be more organic, in the sense of not constraining people to the uncanny artificial environment of public schooling, which does not mirror any other oft-seen real life institution. It's an odd syncretic chimera of its own.
Data Visualization and D3.js Newsletter Issue 154
I was going to link to a piece Dave Winer wrote on scripting news some years ago:

http://www.scripting.com/2005/12/12.html#howToMakeMoneyOnThe...

Where he talks about encouraging outgoing traffic.

But one of the more interesting links in that post has gone "evil-dark" (expired, taken by squatters, endless unclosable javascript "your iOS app is inf1ected!!1one! Call us to fix it! Have your credit card ready!"

So by your newspaper linking only to itself, it could be that they actually hope to avoid this dead link behavior. (Although it would be better that it was a self link that went to a vetted link repository.)

I'm really not a web guy, so I'm surprised that this problem hasn't been solved for most content management systems.
I'd say the opposite. The bag of chips display ad is annoying, ugly, and slows down whatever I'm trying to do on the web.

The location breadcrumbs ... well, it's not that I really want those shared. But at least it happens entirely in the background. I'm not even sure I care that much, given that I never even see the precision ad it theorectically enables.
It seems to me we are in the same place Front-End Web was a couple of years ago: There is an explosion of new tech and frameworks. BUT there seems to be a bump for the adoption of new tech for data engineering, the HIGH cost of migrating terabytes and terabytes of the company's data to a new system.

Migrating and integrating data is incredibly expensive. When you implement a new system you either have to migrate the data from the older system (= expensive) OR having both systems working in parallel one for "older" data and one for newer (= really expensive)

Currently the established risk-averse corporations, the owners of most of the non- social media and internet data, seem to be still testing enterprise Hadoop distributions like Cloudera and Hortonworks for daily enterprise data operations, and maybie have some projects on R&D for harnessing new "types" ok data (like sensor data from a factory floor or high granularity transport data for supply chain).

Still, I hope the best of the new tech can get a place inside the modern corporations that work on important problems like Energy and Healthcare.
