skysight-inc/HackerNews huggingface dataset:
BEAST (which I assumed they used) is not very fast. 250 million generations on BEAST with the number of parameters they estimated and the size of their dataset would likely take about 2-4 weeks to run. Assuming they ran all 3 chains in parallel this is still a really long time to wait for an analysis. (edit: just checked, looks like they used 700+ sequences, so this is closer to 1-3 months of compute time)

The standard number of samples for phylogenetic analyses is 1,000-10,000 samples, trending towards the smaller as the phylogenies get larger. Since they did 3 independent analyses and combined their samples, as long as they assessed convergence and ensured that all 3 chains were converged this is likely fine. Excluding burnin is also quite typical since the MCMC move operators for phylogenetics are not very good due to the high dimensionality of the search space. ABC is also challenging to work with due to the high dimensionality (though I admit I haven't worked much with these methods in phylogenetics)

Typically in this field it is not enough to say "you didn't run your MCMC chains for long enough" or anything like that. Of course the chains should be run for longer -- theoretically speaking they should be run for infinite amount of time, but there are routine disagreements over whether 100 or 1000 effective samples are sufficient for phylogenetics. But unless there is a serious model inadequacy that the authors haven't addressed there's typically no reason to nitpick about these sorts of things. The authors have covered a lot of their bases by trying a number of different models and priors and I don't see any reason to doubt this particular study based on that.

I'm in the same boat. I use Telegram. Not because it's secure (I don't know, I believe others that claim that it might not be), but because it works for me.

WhatsApp (most popular?) doesn't. ChatSecure (most secure?) doesn't.

I'd say 'Use Telegram' with the caveat that you shouldn't trust it blindly? Use it as a better and cross-platform SMS/text experience, which might or might not be more secure.

It means that they are not going to use their bicycle, go up in the tower and down again on the other side. They will be in most of the cases already in the tower.

This out-of-the-box thinking by the investigators caught my attention:

"Investigators knew from the bags left behind at the fire scenes that the arsonist shopped at convenience stores. From the wreckage of a Northeast car fire investigators pulled the remnants of a black plastic bag. The company supplied their black bags to just two shops in the D.C. area. Investigators put cameras in both stores.

With the cooperation of the owner of the two Circle 7 stores, agents affixed thumbnail-size stainless steel chips to the bottom of every bag in both stores. Each chip was marked according to alphanumeric code, going in order through the stack. If one of the bags were to be involved
in a fire, the chip would survive. And because agents went to the stores daily to track which bags had been used, they would be able to go to the video to see which customer had purchased the bag from the fire."

The above was not how the arsonist was caught. (He was caught due to his car being captured on video leaving the scene of a fire. Having found a suspect, the investigators matched his DNA to DNA extracted from clothing he'd used as wicks in setting some of the fires.)

As usual with the French left, a lot of wishful thinking but not much will be done (a lot of money will be spent though). I bet you that by 2020 Paris will not be the best bicycle city in the world, far from it.

And btw, we French don't have a bicycle culture. For us every day bicycling (not sport) is for people that can't afford a car (and the rare idealists that think they're going to save the planet).

I'm always amazed at the number of bikes I see when I go in Germany or Holland (never went to Denmark). It's not a matter of money, they are richer than us, it's really cultural.

If you really want to see more bicycles on French roads you need gas to be at about 2€ / liter (Google says it's about 8 bucks for a gallon).

I completely agree. Leaving a gap and waiting for someone to fill it is practically the opposite of management.

> ..once employees know this is a short cut for promotion, they will focus a lot of their energy and attention to find 'the void' and try to fill it, or act like they can fill it, thus neglecting the real work that need to be done.

This in particular is really dangerous because it can poison an organisation's culture. For example, imagine Ben decides to focus on managing upwards in an effort to get Adam to promote him. Meanwhile, he neglects his duties, forcing his team-mates to pick up the slack. They start getting annoyed at Ben because he's not pulling his weight.

It's not uncommon, in my experience (and I'm aware that I'm at risk of stereo-typing here), for good, smart, conscientious people in technical roles to focus first on doing the job that they've been assigned and trust that management will recognise and reward them for doing so (and, conversely, punish anyone who slacks off), and that one of those rewards is that they will be considered for any opportunity for promotion that arises. Unfortunately, that doesn't always happen.

If Adam promotes Ben, his old team-mates are going to be really pissed off. From their perspective, Ben's bad behaviour has been rewarded, instead of rectified. Meanwhile, the extra work they've been putting in to make up for that bad behaviour has been completely ignored.

The end result is an unhappy team, They'll resent both Ben and Adam, their productivity will probably drop (because whey the hell should they work their asses off when they're clearly not going to be rewarded for it?), and may well start looking elsewhere for work.

In that scenario, Adam has not done a good job as a manager, and he's definitely not a good leader.

There's nothing wrong with identifying a gap and opening a dialogue about how it can be filled (including asking if anyone's interested in filling it) but if someone moves to plug a gap, that generally means that they're going to leave a gap somewhere else. A good manager needs to make sure that they understand the implications of shifting people around, and explicitly recognise the indirect contribution that Ben's old team-mates are making to fill the gap.

Organisations are about teams, not individuals. It's astounding how many managers fail to grasp that.

Or it's a really grotty compliance issue, requiring tedious reworking of existing code against a deadline imposed by an external authority under threat of penalty.

No-one wants to work on those issues. If you screw it up, the company is fined and you're probably on a shortlist for the next RIF. If you manage to do it right under pressure and stress, the company isn't fined and you're back looking at a list of upcoming work items.

>No it's not, since with the houses it would be easy to verify that there's no 3 houses available. The trader in the Nanex article had no way to know how many of the 24800 shares were actually available. He's trading at an information disadvantage.

You are correct, public markets are anonymous by design, so there is no way to tell that the same liquidity is being offered in more than one place. That doesn't change the reality that it is. As I explained, it must be, or the transition from 1 exchange to 13 exchanges would have seen offered liquidity by market makers cut to 1/13th.

So like I said, anyone with a working mental model of the market knows this. You can't just aggregate displayed liquidity at each venue and think that number is valid. It doesn't matter what your 'screen' is telling you if the screen is doing something that makes no sense. No one ever pretended that you can magically execute on different exchanges as if they were one exchange. No one ever made that guarantee. The only people who think that are wingnuts like Eric.

And since we are talking about an issue that only effects people sending very large orders to multiple exchanges, the likes of Katsuyama have no excuses for their ignorance. They are paid to be on top of these details. You can't have a 'trader' in the modern age who doesn't know what a millisecond is, or isn't prepared or capable to dig below one abstraction layer. "dUh, my screen say 24800 shares are there and i pressed buy" is not what you pay an execution trader for. It is his fucking job to know what happens when his order goes down the wire.

>To your analogy, it would be similar to a real estate agent flooding the market with multiple listings of each house, but with different pictures and different addresses, giving the impression of a buyers market to a buyer (phantom liquidity).

They are not "flooding the market" or trying to present "phantom liquidity". They are doing exactly what you do when you put the house on 3 different websites. Trying to increase your chances of finding a customer. They are forced to put bids and offers on 13 different exchanges, because that is US equity market structure. It's no fun. Life would be a lot simpler if there were just one exchange. As I explained, it's like playing russian roulette for them... they are now forced to take the chance that they may get filled simultaneously on multiple exchanges and take on more risk than they are comfortable holding. But they are forced to do that since their customers are now spread across 13 exchanges. Market makers would like nothing better than to have 1 exchange. Arbitrageurs are the ones who love having all this fragmentation.
There are people who blame gun control, so I guess many people are apt to come up with their pet peeve.
I'd want to check references on the life expectancy. Quick web searching shows that it was about 40 years, but I don't know whether that's life expectancy from birth or not. (Very bad child mortality will artificially lower the average life expectancy.)

I have found some mentions that adult life expectancy from age 5 was as good as it is now... all of which appear to be by the article authors.

Given that a lot of Victorian children over the age of 5 were working, and frequently at dangerous jobs, I'd be very hesitant about accepting that figure.
I keep seeing these dire warnings whenever Telegram is mentioned, and I don't understand the hate. Is it some super secure platform? Probably not, but people needing a provably NSA-resistant chat client is such a tiny percentage of the people interested in regular chatting. None of the warnings I see have the nuance of "don't use it if you think it'll keep you safe from the government, but otherwise it's a pretty nice service to use" nor do they list the chat services that they feel are more secure.

Compared to the alternatives of Skype, WhatsApp, SMS, Hangouts, iMessage, etc it's a good chat service, with a relatively lightweight native client on multiple platforms, actual working sync, and good recovery when used on poor Internet connection.

Muslims need a leader who can project positive PR in the media. Buddhists have the Dalai Lama; everyone sees him as a man of peace, wisdom and unimpeachable integrity. Recently Catholics have had John Paul II and Mother Teresa as moral beacons. Benedict wasn't a PR success, but Francis has been well received recently. And the Anglicans have Desmond Tutu, who has great moral stature from the anti apartheid struggle. In the UK in recent years Rabbi Lionel Blue was a regular media presence, and was generally liked and respected, and so a big plus for British Judaism generally.

So, what media friendly nice guy Imam do Muslims have? You need to find a humorous, gentle, wise, grandfatherly Imam and get him on TV quick.

The most disappointing thing about Telegram is that they are completely unwilling to accept any kind of criticism or use any outside suggestions for improving their crypto. Kind of goes against the whole "open source" thing they're doing there.

Also the fact that it doesn't even have end-to-end encryption by default means it shouldn't even be in the same class as "secure messengers". It's better suited in the Skype/Hangouts class of apps.
I live in Sweden, and the prime minister just went public with plans to increase surveillance and give the police extended rights to "surpass encryption", ie hack phones.

I do think the police should have the ability to, after a court ruling, to hack a phone, but the whole increased surveillance is just crazy. The terrorists attack our society for what it is, and the response is not to stand tall, but to change?

Clearly then, the director of the Central Intelligence Agency is irrational. Claims like this make him look like a fool. Although it appears that he didn't name Snowden directly, it was certainly implied.

The argument, insofar as he and others have articulated
it, seems to be that terrorists are becoming more
cautious and more interested in encryption

This bugs me because it makes the assumption that terrorists were previously stupid.

We only have to look at the cartels, who in the last ten years have started building their own high-tech communications systems. They have even gone so far as to employ (sometimes by force), experienced programmers in order to defeat surveillance from the authorities. That predates Snowden, and I'm sure you could find evidence to show that al-Qaieda used encryption before Snowden as well.

ISIS are fighting a war against us. They use guerilla tactics that are terroristic in nature because one does not face the might of a large immovable force head on. It would be like a small wave lapping against a massive sea wall. More effective is to slowly creep into the cracks of the wall, wait for the water to freeze and then split the wall open from inside.

The terrorists were cautious in the first place. They don't use smart phones. Many of them use mobile phones once then throw them away, afraid of being the next drone strike target.

ISIS have a plan to fulfil their prophesy of a Islamic State or 'caliphate'. They want to provoke the west to war, whilst simultaneously isolating moderate Muslims in the west. The suicide bombers and terrorists aren't given this as the primary reason for blowing themselves up and shooting innocent civilians. They are being shown videos of their peers being violently tortured and killed, in order to make them angry. They are being given inspiration to join with their peers against the "oppressors". Then they get given a gun, a bag of amphetamines and in some cases a suicide belt.

The ones we need to worry about are the young men who are being radicalised in the west. Why is it so easy to radicalise these youths? The answer is obvious. Look at the opportunities these youths have in front of them. Racism in France is endemic. I've lived there and witnessed it first hand. The riots in the Paris "ghettoes" in 2005 were a warning sign that got ignored. Now some radical Mullah comes along and gives you a sense of purpose, a sense of belonging, a target for your anger and frustration.

It is no wonder that we are losing this battle. The war isn't in Syria. It's right in front of our noses. It's the racism and lack of opportunity combined with the isolation of a disenfranchised angry youth group. Ironically it is Al-Qaieda and ISIS or Daesh (of whatever we want to call them), who have managed to turn us to (quite naturally) be suspicious, angry and racist towards this ethnic and religious groups in our own countries.

One positive thing to take away, is that we could actually do something about this problem. We might not be able to help the ones we already missed, but we can certainly catch the young ones who are about to fall into the same pit that their older brothers and uncles did.

I'm using all of them in my project, as this seems to be the direction Microsoft is taking as well:

- Nuget for serverside .net (.cs, .dll) and msbuild (.target) dependencies

- npm for javascript development dependencies (grunt/gulp)

- bower for clientside dependencies (.less/.scss, .js)

I'm using the new VS online build stuff as well. In git, none of the dependencies are checked in. So the build starts with npm install, bower install and nuget / restore, then it runs gulp and finally msbuild.

I'm pretty happy with it.
