What I found through lots of calibration is that it's best to sell when the weekly average of the S&P 500 is -2% compared to that same week a year ago, and then re-purchase when it goes back up to 0%. In fact it's best to short the S&P 500 when it's less than -2%. Perhaps if the interest rate is high then it's best to hold bonds, but that's not the current case.

I can't guarantee the indicators will work in the future, but they worked in the past, and they make sense to me because the S&P 500 historically followed a momentum-like path. And I don't see why a 65 year trend based on mathematically simple technical indicators will suddenly change overnight just because it's the future versus the past.

If you don't use indicators, then you're taking the strong position that they don't matter, which is more contrary to the evidence than using them. Unfortunately you either have to use indicators or not use them. So an "I don't know" opinion is still a definitive decision that they are worse, which is probably an incorrect decision.

Remix OS is based on Android and Android includes, among other things, the Linux Kernel, which is GPL, which is Copyleft, which would mean that the Remix OS creators would need to provide the source code to users, wouldn't it?
Comcast is fundamentally different in a second way: they have huge incentives to make on-demand video over the Internet unbearable, as a way of holding on to their cable revenue.

And there's ample evidence of them refusing to interconnect with the backbones that provide a lot of the video traffic. The problem is not in running more fibers or more wavelengths, the problem is connecting ports in a meet-up room.

Comcast doesn't really care that much about decreasing the bandwidth, they care about keeping their customers on their cable service.
It makes it worse when they say they are propping up the market, if the market is at a relative peak and daddy warbucks shows up saying he'll buy anything no matter the cost, of course everyone is going to get out while the getting is good.
That was a bit later though. Leninism came to China and Korea in the late 1910s and 20s. I am talking about the ideologies and philosophies (Marxism among them) that came from the West by way of Japan several decades earlier than that.

You could argue that Leninism and Stalinism are more directly responsible for North Korean Communism today than Marxism was, and you wouldn't be wrong in my opinion, but the concepts of socialism, fascism, democracy, etc. first came to Korea and China by way of Japanese scholarship.
Makes sense - what would happen if they have 6 and then a 7th joins them afterwards? Should we refuse service?

Hypotheticals are everywhere. Usually its easier when tables ask to split a check in the beginning, then the logistics can be figured out and you don't have a situation that OP mentioned.

Bit off topic: I had a table, I don't remember how many people but it was large (7-10). One guest joins late and quickly orders her food. Since the rest of the table is already on appetizers, I rush to place the order and get her salad as soon as possible.

Once the salad arrives, I check back and, after the guest is satisfied, go to take care of a different table.

Maybe two minutes later, the table franticly calls me over and asks if there are mushrooms in the salad, to which I reply "Yes". Calmly, the gentleman to the right of the lady with the salad reaches into his bag, grabs an EpiPen and stabs her.

My manager and I look at each other and are mortified - how did this happen? I quickly start to apologize but I had no idea that she was allergic to Mushrooms. While we're freaking out, the table is as cool as the other side of the pillow - everyone just continues eating and the lady is all smiles.

Turns out that the entire table are doctors and the lady routinely forgets to mention her allergies. The gentleman, her husband, explains the situation while the lady apologizes for creating a fuss (at this point my manager is as white as a sheet).

Even though everything turned out "ok" it was certainly a scary moment. It also relates to your comment - shouldn't I ask each person that comes in about their allergies or is it their responsibility to inform me of their dietary restrictions?
"the logic being that in denying your experimental method to the control group you're putting them at a disadvantage."

That was fascinating, and very well done. It's not often you see somebody actually creating interactive scripts (and miniature models) of things like particle collisions for a presentation. The availability and the quality of the external links is also highly appreciated (even though sending me to Vsauce might cost me another evening). A couple of suggestions for improvement:

An estimate for how long the lesson will take (on average), best stated up front.

An indicator for where we are in the presentation (like "slide 5 of 18").

A way to pause the audio in the middle of a slide (I just saw you already addressed this one).

On the "Corrections" slide, you mention a fascinating PBS documentary. It would be nice to get a link to that, too (if available).
I love how he says that it's not throttling, while comparing it to economy mode on a car. Which is, well, literal throttling to give you less performance but better economy.

I would not mind them offering the feature if they were honest up front about what it is. It is throttling; it is reducing the bandwidth available for particular downloads, in order to use less or none of your data plan. Now, there are still some net neutrality problems with the fact that certain service providers use none of your data allowance while others do still count against it.

But anyhow, why try to sell this as not throttling when that's exactly what it is; throttling, but you get some benefit in that you don't have to pay as much for those throttled streams?

Many of the GTD tools assist you in breaking down a multistep process into tasks, and triaging them as immediately actionable or waiting on completion of some prior task. Some people are good at writing down things that need to be done, but then get stalled because one 'to-do' may need to be broken down into subtasks in order to get started on it and make progress. What part of the process do you get hung up on?

I didn't say for everything and in all cases, but there are cases where you can't tell. GTA V and Battlefront both can produce screenshots with tons of detail (including foliage) that are near imperceptible from reality.

Where games struggle today is hair, skin, and soft fabrics, but there are already good implementations for those that should show up in the next generation game engines.

This will always been an iterative process, but there are times today (and I honestly feel like this just became the case within the past year or so) where games look like reality.
If they're going to support such tickets then they need some big "seriously, deliver what you sold" penalties for bad sellers.

Nobody said you did. He suggested several possibilities. One was working in industry to understand real-world development, deployment, or support needs. Another suggestion is considering real-world issues. That's main one as the other merely supports it.

An example would be putting Racket to use on industrial scale projects with groups of programmers from different backgrounds. These would discover any pain points of language/tooling plus opportunities for improvement. Doesn't have to be Google: just practical, diverse, and outside Racket's normal sphere.

The reason I used Racket as an example is that they already do some of that at least in their forums. Maybe some commercial sector but I lack data on that. They've evolved to be constantly more useful for both academic and practical stuff through such feedback.

If you doubt that or that they're purely academic in a bubble, then feel free to share why. You may have data I dont have but Ive seen them adapt based on external feedback and usefulness in specific cases. Not a Racket user or insider, though.

In other words, academic research is a punt in the dark. Much of it will not yield all that much, but some of it will.

It is kind of similar to what YC and VC's do: give a little bit of funding to a small number of businesses, but hope a (very) small number will pay off big.

Academia is a small investment to a number of ideas, with the hopes of big pay-offs in a very small number. The technology behind the Web was invented by Tim Berners-Lee while at CERN in the early nineties. You might not think that funding in high energy and particle physics would be worthwhile, but yet something completely different and revolutionary for all of humanity came out of it.

We just do not know where these revolutionary ideas come from, but what we do know is that they tend to come from some of the very brightest people.

I mean it's pretty rare I wander into Netflix with the intention of spending time on watching something (not a specific show/movie) and don't find anything I want to watch.

I agree that if you have something specific in mind and don't already know it's on Netflix, you more likely than not won't find it. But I knew that going in, and never expected that to be the case in the first place.

Even though I have long ago given up imageboards, this is basically what I came to say. If you think the problem of self censorship due to judgement is the problem, publish anonymously and go hog wild.

I would much rather we have an anonymous set of opinions (because to be quite honest, I will never meet most of you, or be able to connect on a personal level, even if you are awesome) than a people looking to appeal to the crowd.

Unfortunately on 4chan et all this ends up making certain ideas the same as an established figure, ideas(memes in this community) which propagate whether or not they are good, just because they are established.
The part you are missing is the more users use Microsoft than OSX. See how many of these people are complaining about being Microsoft users and feeling like they need to ditch Windows. These people probably didn't complain about Apple as much (or at all) because it didn't affect them. Now Microsoft has brought it to their front door, and they are forced to deal with it head-on (note: just accepting / ignoring the situation is also a form of "dealing with it").
Pixar switched to a path tracer for Monsters University, and it made it easier for the artists (once they unlearned the tricks and hacks they would have needed for less sophisticated renderers).
The fact that it's optional (enabled by default) does not change the fact that it is, indeed, throttling. There's also the fact that this throttling (regardless of what they'd like to call it) was actually happening for video services not included.

This is precisely the opposite of content neutrality, in that they're making general internet traffic intentionally worse.

Honestly, that makes more sense which is why PRIVATE industries should create schools inorder to foster educatin relevent to them.

Having organized education that is relevent to the real world is an exellent idea. However, reforming schools is not the appropriate approach. We live in a capitalist society, if they dont like whats around, they should compete. Im confident people are more than willing to pay 20k a year for a guarenteed job. Code boot camps charge that much for inadequate preparation and people are still clamboring to get in there.

It seems like a good idea, but of course its not running the latest version of Android. Most of the problems with Android stem from security updates not reaching devices in a timely manner, and RemixOS is just another example of a skin that is behind. Most devices are only on RemixOS 1.5, which is Android 5.0.2.
"It assumes that you have the organizational maturity to handle synchronizing two separate systems and the distributed transactions that entails."

Well, to be honest, when we're talking about proper maintenance and advancement techniques, we must by definition be discussing the topic only for those with the discipline to correctly implement relevant techniques and policies. If your developers or management choose not to, be it for whatever reason up to and including total lack of requisite talent or experience somewhere, you've already lost and the only thing that can possibly save you is to address that problem first, and if that's not possible for whatever reason, you've simply already lost.

As a result, it turns out not to be an interesting case to discuss. Even if it is, probably, the dominant case in the field....
I'm struggling to see the connection here. You can love someone and still be unhappy. Abuse victims often love their abusers. Suicide victims often have loved ones.

I'd like to add that more generally, this is the situation with internet in most of Europe - it's a competitive market.

Because it's a competitive market, net neutrality matters a lot less. Providers who provide shitty service will find the market switching away from them very quickly. YouTube plays slowly? Not going to fly with the kids, so I'll find a provider who doesn't do that. The ability to buy 2MBs cable that pumps out up to 1GBs for Netflix at a cheap cheap price? There's a segment of the market for whom that's a great deal.

This also ties in nicely with fair usage caps. I'm more than happy to pay a lower rate for a "fair usage cap" of 100GB because I'm not torrenting. I think people who need or want truly unlimited internet should be able to pay for it without raising my prices.

Both these arguments are null in the US where there's such a screwed up monopolistic market.
So the answer is no, because the partial pressure of CO2 is so low.

All bathroom scales are witchcraft.

Analog ones always seem to have the precision of ±10kg and generate an aura of untrustworthiness around themselves. Digital ones behave as if they were haunted. Every once in a while, usually when the upward-opening crescent Moon passes through an astral node on the sky, my digital scale just picks one of two or three values at random. The values are around 1-2kg apart. I learned to just step on and off it until it either settles on a single result, or I get tired and just end up averaging last three or five measurements.
I would highly advise against taking anything which may have a long term impact on one's ability to discern between reality and fantasy.

I dunno but I can tell you that if I was an indentured servant I would under no circumstances accept a free lobster dinner more than thrice a week.

I hear that Facebook employees don't even have such minimal guarantees as indentured servants who could reasonably expect to bw offered something other than lobster at least 4 times a week.

Zuck has brainwashed people to such a degree that they think this 'lobster' is actually good food.
Numbers? America has always been an immigrant country, from its very founding (even the Ameri-indians crossed a bridge to get here). There is nothing to compare against; high-end STEM has never been dominated by American-only talent. So all we have is world supply vs. world demand to go on, and what can we tell from that?

I made about $1300/month as a PhD student at the end of the 90s/early 00s. But in exchange, I got to do the research I wanted to, it was a fair exchange for me. If you are in it just for the money, I guess it doesn't make much sense, but then you don't need a PhD anyways. I'm also one of the odd balls who is an American CS PhD graduate working for an American company in...China. Turns out, those high-end research jobs really can move from the US to another country (before China, I was in Switzerland)!

My ex-boss used to have me spend hours of doing Powerpoint because he claimed to be a "visual learner". I always theorized that this sounded like a load of BS. My theory was that he was just too lazy or ADD to actually sit down and read and comprehend things.

Having just gone through what you're feeling, I can tell you that it's totally fine. It takes time to ramp up in any company. Working with a code base with the sort of complexities you're going to encounter just adds to the time/effort it'll take (and to the stress). Just keep slogging through and getting to know how everything is connected.

Also, do you have any regular feedback loop with your immediate supervisor/manager? Having a regular one-on-one can be a great way to get some perspective on how they think you're doing. You're probably being sort of impatient with yourself and are doing fine :)
Both are coercitive, but one locks the individual away, and the other one gives him purpose.
Years ago I installed a mouse driver for iOS on a jailbroken iPad 2 on iOS 6, it more or less worked for most applications that didn't require two finger gestures. I was able to paint with Brushes and such.

It wasn't a pleasant experience but I was just tinkering to see what it'd be like. If you like big huge icons, zooming when highlighting, and having to occasionally touch your screen, I suppose it was good.

I can't imagine its about being a viable desktop OS more than push the envelope of Android.

Call it throttling, call it whatever you want. It makes my general internet better.

The service is optional from all sides: both the consumer and the content provider. It gives me, as a user of the general internet, more control over what I do with the internet. Not less.

It may be better if there was RFC for devices to register their bandwidth preferences that Netflix and other video services implemented, but there's not. Perhaps BingeOn is a route towards that.

The lazy way to firewall it without doing all that analysis would be to run it in Virtualbox with network access disabled. Do your networking on the host outside of the VM and exchange files between the host and the VM through a shared folder. If you need sharing between multiple windows machines, you can run Syncthing or similar on the hosts to synchronize the directories backing the shared folders across them. I run a setup like this at home for my other half, who needs to use windows for some things but balks at signing up for their cloud service.
