That's right. Things in this Universe are not scale-invariant. We are so enmeshed in the human-scale models, that anything beyond (above, below, far away from) this scale look alien.

Growing up and bumping your head, as a toddler, into the kitchen table, you learn about a Universe that follows newtonian physics, euclidean geometry, and boolean logic. But then you look at vastly different scales and you learn that all these are human-scale approximations. The universe is post-newtonian and non-euclidean; and deep in the science of complexity boolean models are challenged by fuzzy logic.

The newtonian/euclidean/boolean model we carry in our heads is just our little insular view of the universe.
His time served is actually twice as long as the average life sentence served for actual murder in the UK. (Some murderers are in for a "whole life" tariff -- ineligible for release on license -- but in general most are eligible for parole hearings after between 8 and 12 years and on average they serve roughly 20 years.)

Just in case anyone was thinking that 44 years for attempted murder is a light sentence.
What a ridiculous line of reasoning. If the ceo at my company likes to tango and donates to a tango club, it doesn't mean that I like to tango.

I'm absolutely supportive of gay marriage, but the people pillorying Eich find it necessary to contort their logic in the strangest ways.
If only the people in positions of power took this stance, we would be in a much better place today. What bothers me is that the merger between corporations and state through k-street and the revolving door/regulatory capture has become exceedingly rampant.
Haven't had the issue with computer cables, but had the exact issue with iphone cables. The plastic apple uses for their cables is just weird, with friction or stress (just the stress of looping it around) it seems to gain a slightly rubberised texture, bulk up and ultimately come apart over time. I do have hints on that on a magsafe cable-end, close to the magsafe where the little plastic clip usually sits there's a lot of friction and the cable has gone dark-gray, whereas on the rest of the cable the clip can just slide along.
They usually work, but I've never seen a legitimate name brand coming from Hong Kong via eBay. My experience was mostly in sporting equipment, and the stuff that I ordered looked and smelled like it was "Adidas" or "Nike," and even said "Nike," but it obviously wasn't made by Adidas or Nike.
It's not something I like to trumpet out. I dealt with enough toolbags at said institution of higher learning who tended to have little personality beyond exclaiming how they got a 2400 on the SAT, that they were the valedictorian of their class, how hard corporate recruiting was, and how sick it was that they got that internship at McKinsey, or Bridgewater.

Also white-trash Yankee hillbillies are rare enough at these sorts of places that I might as well give up any pretenses of online anonymity if I said specifically which one it was.
>I don't care about anime. When someone throws an anime conference, I don't care. I won't be going. What I'm not going to do is jump on the internet and start saying "I have a problem with anime conferences!"

Apples and oranges, you're allowed to go to anime conferences.

This is literally what you think:

"You're opposed to gender-exclusive conferences, and you think that the prioritization of one gender over another is counter-intuitive in regards to attaining gender equality, that means that you object to women in tech".

There is something horribly wrong with your way of thinking if that is your interpretation.
Redux is just a set of tools to manage a state tree, doesn't depend on React specifically, and no real reason have it as the view layer other than it being in widespread use.

The article mentions just that: yes, it is a controversial diagnosis among psychologists and psychiatrists.

However, the point of the article is that data is accumulating that shows that DID can manifest in ways we can measure on brain scans. It's not just that this woman says she can't see, the brain scans confirm her visual cortex is not active in some of her personalities.

That is strong evidence that the popular opinion about psychologists, that you mention, may be wrong.
True, but most of the value is in the land. A derelict house in San Francisco is worth over $1M, but $800K+ is the land.
Okay, I looked at that PDF. I read through several pages and mostly saw lots of discussion of statements the authors claimed were common and wrong. I can agree with the wrong but am less convinced about the common.

I never saw a clean definition of p-value or alpha -- probability of Type I error.

In my study of statistics, p-value and alpha are essentially the same. Maybe a difference: A p-value is what a researcher has in mind before the hypothesis test as a 'cutoff value', say, 5%, for alpha while alpha is whatever the statistical hypothesis test says, for the data and the test, is the probability of Type I error, e.g., 3.141592653 or some such random number. So, since the 3.14 is less than the p-value of 5%, the experimenter rejects the null hypothsis. MAYBE this is the difference, if any, between p-value and alpha, in which case we're talking a triviality.

The paper you referenced also starts to get wound up over beta = 1 - alpha as the power of a test. Okay, but that little equation is the definition of power. So,if have some data and a p-value or alpha in mind, and have several candidate statistical hypothesis tests, say, some parametric and the others distribution-free, etc., then will want to use the test with the smallest probability of Type II error, that is, the largest beta. Okay. Now are done with beta, and no more strain or struggle needed.

A biggie point is the real role of the null hypothesis -- it lets us calculate some probabilities that, otherwise, we would not have assumptions enough to do.

If there was a fight between Fisher and Neyman-Pearson nearly 100 years ago, then I'm sorry, but now I have no sympathy for whatever the heck, if anything, they were arguing about then.
> If functions have type specifications, you should not be able to call them with the wrong type, ever.

This assumes you can represent a type specification for the function you are calling, this isn't always possible in a dynamic language with advanced metaprogramming facilities.

Think of it as modularizing the compiler and runtime so that the dials on dynamism can be tuned by the team.

PyCharm already used pretty sophisticated type inference this just helps it. But the real win is being able to run mypy or pytype over a codebase automatically.

Types, Contracts, Properties, Tests are different directions in a tensor field. With Python you can mix and match at your will. This is in _no way_ relatable to the 2-3 mess.

>Why aren't we as interested in getting, say, more men into nursing... I also don't see a lot of "Women in Pro Football" groups

This is seriously your argument? That's so fatalistic: this is the way things are, so this is the way things will be. You're also arguing a very "us" vs "them" mentality, which is what makes professions gendered to begin with.

>CS is intriguing to me precisely because it's such a great equalizer

You're ignoring the social aspect. Women are often discouraged from tech early on, which makes the profession more male-dominated, which makes women feel less comfortable, etc.
Having an MMU is fine. Paging out to disk isn't worth it. The price of paging is erratic response times.

Is using Mailchimp (or related services) the issue or link tracking in general?
Implied social contract theory is more complicated, but the problem with it is that even implied contracts are invalidated if one of the potential parties expressly disavows the implied contract. If implied contract were taken seriously, then any citizen could eliminate any obligations simply by expressing their desire not to be part of the state.

This is a fascinating statement to me. How is an implied contact invariably invalidated-in the case of governments in a representative society, burdened with a multiplicity of values and interests-and further how does a government even function if this contract is merely "implied" and not codified?
Poor blacks, unlike poor whites, are subject to mass incarceration.

This library lack some of the super powerful features that really made me fall in love with redux-router. Being able to get access to params was huge, and having action creators to pushState and replaceState was also huge.
Ah, the 'love it or leave it' theory. This argument is not used by any serious philosophers (that I know of). One of the many problems with this argument is that there is no reason to believe the state has a greater moral entitlement to the land where I live than I do. What makes the state special anyway? Why can't I just claim to be a state and have legitimate authority over the land?

Another problem with this theory is that there is nowhere for the anarchist to go. Suppose you were abducted (at night or as a child) and put on a ship which heads out to sea when you lack the capacity to take action, then you are told that you must obey the captain or leave. Do you have to obey the captain? If you disagree with the captain, do you have to jump in the ocean and drown, or try to swim to another ship with an equally tyrannical captain? What makes the modern state different?

As an aside, the 'you should leave if you don't like it' idea is also used by such prestigious organizations as the Klu Klucks Klan.

edit: I believe it is important to know who makes similar moral arguments; if you find this company troubling, that is your concern, not mine.

The headline should be "renters will have more of their income available to spend on other things, which will improve the local economy, diversify it, and make it more resilient". I've never understood the US obsession with increasing housing costs being a good thing. As a thought experiment it would be far better for them to go down by 8% a year than the 8% increases that keep being welcomed as in this article.
Those all happened at least 20 years ago - I was looking at things that have happened in recent history.

Huh? Landlords literally buy ad space in these papers. Tenants do not advertise.
Agree, GP is quite an overreaction to the phrasing.
I don't think they were really arguing the supply and demand point. I think they were pointing out all the other stuff that goes along with housing. A lot of people want to move to san francisco, but it's just to expensive. Your point (or part of it) means they'd need to add a whole lot of housing to bring the price down. So far so good, and i think we agree up to here.

They were concerned with ancillary effects. If you bring in more people, right of the bat you'll need to deal with more water, sewer and garbage. Next you have cars. Roads are tough to widen. Expanding mass transit might help. Next the fire, police, schools and voting districts need to be expanded.

Scaling is hard. Scaling government organizations is even harder. Compound interest is awesome, so maybe a few % a year would be tolerable, but it's not like you can just build 100k apartments one Thursday afternoon and call it good.

So, you're absolutely right supply and demand works. You're wrong because that's not the only effect in play.

You can tell they're non trivial if you do any kind of HF radio stuff. When you plug one in the higher end of the spectrum fills with one kind of wideband digital looking noise for about a second, and then another noise there after.
I'm one of those annoying people that has never had MacBook charger perish or fray, until very recently I still had a 2011 MBP and its original charger was fine. But yes I've seen people with dangerously broken chargers before, I have noticed they're often people with cracked phone screens - I wonder if they're perhaps people that are either more physically active with their hardware or perhaps more careless with looking after it.
`updatePath` is an action creator, and there's a PR to rename it to `pushPath` and add `replacePath`. And you shouldn't access route params outside of a router component anyway.

(EDIT: ok, the last statement was a simplification. But generally you don't need to, but you could manually move data into the state if you needed to)
> It wants volume of text for confidence, and Twitter guarantees the nonexistence of that.

Why would it need volumes of text, though? People are very good at detecting tone even in a short phrase, so the information is there. And really, even if at first it can only handle the most egregious cases, and slowly gets better at more borderline cases, that would still be a huge win—since the more extreme the example, the more it matters.
Because until recently no one has had the balls to stand up to sjw/radfem kids. What worries me the most is that in the process of fixing this social misalignment the far right could gain ground. Which is replacing one evil with the other...

Another way to put it would be that the future appreciation is priced in at purchase time. If the asset is not expected to appreciate, its price will be less.
Poor whites and poor blacks are both subject to mass incarceration; though poor blacks are incarcerated at even higher rates. This is clearly among the factors that, on average, favors poor whites over poor blacks. I certainly did not deny the existence of such factors (I even enumerated some of them.)
Secular morals. Owning slaves obviously doesn't pass the test.

As a secular person, your main purpose is to live a long healthy life because that's all there is -- secular people don't get brownie points in the afterlife for the bodycount of heathens they've racked up. You will live a longer life if you live in a society of educated people who can do the science to keep you healthy and don't want to kill you (because you've oppressed them in slavery, because they have no money, or because they're brain-damaged from lead poisoning).
What if you turn this around -- two people punch two identical twins in the face. One twin dies from his injuries, and the person who punched him now faces at least involuntary manslaughter, whereas the other person just has a light assault charge. Should both people get charged with involuntary manslaughter, or should they both just get the lighter assault charge?
I have a cat. None of my other charging cables are vulnerable except my macbook pro one. I've already lost two! Even if they made it easier to replace just the cable that goes from the adapter to the macbook it would be a big win for me.
Two things I've found beneficial are:

In a single page app, your client routes (representing individual views) don't have to map directly to your server side routes, which gives you the ability to have pages/views that don't require a server roundtrip.

You can also cache frequently used data on the client and use them on multiple "pages" as you navigate through your client side routes/pages, loading "page" specific data from your API as needed.

So in general it gives you more tools/options for building a snappier app.
Whether it's throwing money away or not depends on the future value of the good, expected duration of ownership, and the utilization rate. Same as the purchase versus rent decision on every other purchase.
Why would you not want to see the competition?
Right, but I'm asking why not react in this specific instance.
This IE "change" isn't so much an abandoning of their long held policies as clarifying them and fixing some wrong assumptions companies had made in the past. Microsoft's support policies for the OS components has long held that what they will provide (extended) support for is the most recent Service Pack version that has kept up with Windows Updates. For various reasons, companies have tried to take advantage of the fact that IE is an OS component to qualify it for extended support and also taking advantage of the concept that IE updated/versioned at a slightly different pace from Windows Service Packs to assume that they could claim the extended support timeframe for an individual IE release as if it were entire OS versions.

The amazing thing is that Microsoft took this long to correct what should have been an obvious mistake: that IE versions apply like other Windows components and they should only need to support the most up to date one for that OS version.

The kind thing here is that Microsoft has taken ownership of that mistake, publicly admitted that they made it and that the fix was coming, and given companies more than a year and a half (and advertising to that effect, such as the site linked here) to adjust to the fix.

A. I'm not talking about gender-exclusive conferences, nor was the person I responded to (as far as I can tell), nor have I ever heard of such a thing.

B. If you think my English is so poor that I'm unable to properly express myself, then maybe you shouldn't pretend to know what I'm thinking. You only have access to a few of my words, and you've already (actually, literally) indicated that you don't understand them.

So don't be an ass. And maybe take a step back and look at how your behavior supports your broader point.

There are a variety of reasons to buy a house. One is to use, or consume, the shelter that it provides. As a human, you'll always be a "natural buyer" of shelter. (Though not necessarily always where you own shelter.)

Another reason to own property is to speculate on the valuation of the land or the house itself.

These two aspects of home ownership are very often conflated. It's actually shocking how infrequently this distinction is discussed, especially given how common home ownership is.
That's actually a decent possibility. Much more probable than getting all the startups to collectively, consistently fund lobbyists on their behalf. The big tech firms already do that. Google, Apple, and Facebook are already working on integrating in daily routines of users including with payments.

It would be interesting for one or more to fund a push into banking maybe leveraging a bank they bought for its expertise and infrastructure. Probably opportunities for analysis and ad targeting on top of it. Wait, "ad-supported payments via displaying them at POS kiosks." Oh, shit, did I just make up an industry on the spot or does this already happen? ;)
>'My go-to phrase: "Even if there were no real difference, we would see a result like this X% of the time anyway."'

Hmm, p-values are data-dependent random variables. Do this simple experiment in R where the null hypothesis of no difference is as true as can be:

replicate(2,t.test(rnorm(10),rnorm(10))$p.value)

For example, I got:

[1] 0.8446991 0.3935238

So, the p-value can vary wildly (actually will follow a uniform(0,1) distribution) even if there were no real difference.

Experimenter A would tell you that "we would see a result like this 84% of the time anyway" and experimenter B would say 39%. If enough experiments are performed, eventually someone will calculate a very small p-value. So which experimenter should we listen to? Which experimenters should bother sharing their results? All are correct.

In other words, what should be done with that information about "even if there were no difference"? How should it affect our behavior, decisions, and beliefs?

> just as there are certain hamburgers that are better than others

There's nothing that objectively makes a hamburger better than another. It's all subjective, just as views are subjective. Some people like bread a lot, so they may want a really thick bun which could be overpowering to another person. Some people are vegetarian, while others cringe in disgust at a black bean burger. It doesn't make those hamburgers any better or worse than others, though.
Did you even read the article? The Seattle market weakened before all those new apartments opened.

Clearly a sign that there are multiple factors at work in macroeconomics than simple microeconomic supply/demand.

I think the first reply to your linked comment is not apoplectic at all and pretty reasonable counterpoint: when a highway is full of cars, adding more highway does not necessarily decrease congestion.
Yes, San Francisco is fairly unique in this regard.
Lots of actual stuff is made (or shipped) from Hong Kong. I don't know enough about the specifics of Lenovo, I'm just saying I've bought and sold hundreds of thousands of dollars of items on eBay, and I've never yet seen a "genuine" name brand on eBay that shipped from Hong Kong that was actually legitimate.

If I had to bet money on it, I would guess that these are the same type of things that you find in Chinese "fake markets" - name brand items that would pass as name brand to anyone who is not very, very familiar with the brand. If it works it doesn't matter in the end, but I've seen some real duds from those types of markets, as well. Maybe they "fell off the truck," but my money is on that they're fakes that are designed to resemble the real thing as closely as they can.
