That is a really intuitive explanation. Thanks.
My free parenting advice from the internet.

0. Don't pathologize. Even a correct diagnosis for ADHD doesn't mean something is broken.

1. Don't freak out. A person is not a diagnosis. The diagnosis isn't life threatening.

2. All sorts of marginally qualified people diagnose ADHD when children don't conform to some expectation...that's not to say that ADHD doesn't exist or that their aren't competent and compassionate experts. My gut, though is that these are more rare than pop-psychology or professional psychiatric ADHD diagnoses.

Here's the CDC page: http://www.cdc.gov/ncbddd/adhd/diagnosis.html

It requires at least six behaviors in each category plus all the mandatory behaviors. I would suggest that the interpretation of behaviors should be done by someone with a strong enough professional background in developmental psychology to determine what lies outside several standard deviations of normal behavior for a five year old child...i.e. the diagnosis should probably be biased toward false negatives rather than false positives.

The person making the diagnosis should be an independent health care professional, i.e. highly credentialed and not an employee or contractor to a school district.

3. Decide what behaviors might be problematic. Decide if any are actually serious enough to require immediate medical treatment. Those that aren't can be addressed gradually over time...children tend to grow out of behaviors all on their own. It's within the range of normal for five year olds to squirm, climb, and jump. Deal with problematic behaviors gently and compassionately in age appropriate ways.

4. A five year old should not be focused on school work unless it is interesting and fun. Neither should ten year olds. Our employers often pay us to work because it can be dull and unpleasant. We don't have ADHD.

5. Every child is different. Do you think the greater social isolation and focus on parent as the primary form of social engagement that comes with home schooling will benefit or deficit your child's long term well being?

Good luck.
Thank you for the information. I hadn't seen the article about the Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity sphere. Quite informative.

And hardware had problems with 32 bit ASNs even up to a year ago. Inline flow generation was broken on Juniper and Cisco stuff for a while.
When I was at AWS I visited South Africa for a conference, and paid a visit to the local office in Cape Town. I don't think I can disclose any other detail (number of people, etc), but it is public knowledge that there is a substantial workforce still there, doing development and support.

The problem with an AWS region in Africa is, in my view, that there's not a large market to support the idea. South Korea is for sure more interesting.
Is it possible to reproduce the user experience on the homepage without installing the extension ? Instead of showing an animation of a user highlighting some text, let the user highlight any text on the homepage and experience the magic.
Well, even that sounds suspect. Of course the regime would say that, but is it true?

I recall the Democratic German Republic (DDR) said the same thing.
Today, in academia, it's considered risky to do research in computer vision, machine learning, or speech processing, for example, because it's likely that you will get "out-Googled". Google probably has an entire team of 20 working on what your one graduate student is doing. They'll have petabytes of real data to test against, hundreds of thousands of computers to run their jobs on, and decades of institutional experience. Your graduate student has a macbook air, six months of experience from an internship at Microsoft, and a BS in computer science. If you're lucky. They're going to lose. They should just go to work at Google.

Over time, fields of study become industrialized. There was a time when doing research in computer vision, machine learning, and speech processing was risky because the field was new, difficult to enter, and the prospects for commercialization were slim. That time has passed. Those 20 people working at Google are the people that helped that time pass. One could argue that the place for this work is now in industry - the motivations are all right and the resources and data are aligned to carry the work forward at a rapid pace.

This happens in other fields. For example, there's some word on the street that DARPA is going to stop funding so much basic research into applied robotics. Industry, they say, has got this covered. You can argue that they're right. The commercial sector is starting to get real thirsty for robots. Amazon talks about automated drone delivery. Everyone talks about self driving cars. The military wants to buy automated planes as a purchase, not as a research project. The time for basic research, it seems, is over.

As far as I can tell, this happened with systems about fifteen years ago, so the academic activity you see in systems is what is left over after all of the researchers that could do things moved into applying their research in industry. You no longer need to have weird hair and be buried in a basement to think about 20 computers talking to each other in parallel - you can go work at any technology company and think about two million computers talking to each other in parallel, and get paid two orders of magnitude more money. So the people doing systems research in academia are the people that cannot take their systems research into industry. If they could get internships, they would, and then they would get jobs. They haven't.
That's... moderately comforting. I recently started using Mint and it's proving very helpful for tracking my spending and budgets. It's really worrying having to hand over my bank account username and password, though.

I really wish banks could provide a read-only API token instead.
I doubt it will have a long term impact on other markets. Other markets aren't anywhere near as overvalued. Markets have been expecting this since mid 2015. There isn't going to be a liquidity crisis, if anything it will make Chinese goods cheaper as the RMB is devalued. This couldn't be more different than 2008.
you're right. at the beginning Clinton was the clear favorite. His odds went above 50:50 in February after a few successes successes against Clinton and kept rising until Clinton stepped back
I can definitely see the flip-flop, from looking at other comments here.
It looks like a small cheap gasoline car from the outside, so, in comparison, it's easy for fancier electrics to look good.

Don't mean to lessen the car, long range for a relatively reasonable price is probably a lot more important than sleek looks if you want to sell a lot of them.
CCP cares way more about maintaining control than in ensuring stability. I'm sure they have plans in place to shut the whole market down if they decide it needs to be done.
Indeed, Cortana's integration with Windows Phones is quite similar to Google Now's with Android. At least as far as the APIs which are open components of Android, rather than proprietary Play services, Cortana should be able to pick up the same intents and all.

Re collaboration. I work in a government research lab which prides itself on being a collaborative environment. The result is that we publish 10-author papers in which one author is doing all of the work and the other 9 are cheering from the sidelines. I don't think this is particular to my lab -- the typical scenario is that 90% of the work on any given project is done by 10% of the people. So when people praise their work environment for being collaborative, I'm sceptical. I'd much rather be in a situation where everyone gets the credit they deserve for the work they have actually done.
This. The best job offers, and jobs have come through my network. Meetups are the best way to grow your network.
Clicking on the interactive map is interesting. One thing leaps out immediately: Low population density correlates to higher energy usage. I can understand why for a couple of reasons:

- Apartment/condominiums should be more energy efficient for heating and cooling than single family homes.

- A lower density likely means driving farther to work, hence greater auto transportation footprint and less likelihood to use public transportation.

The breakdown charts confirm this: San Francisco neighborhoods of single-family homes in the Marina show housing at 15.36, transportation at 20.34

While neighborhoods of apartments South of Mission show housing at 2.39 and transportation at 2.89

Those two factors alone illustrate a 7x consumption by single-family structures (plus their cars) over apartments.

I suspect there is also a strong correlation with household wealth, implying larger homes to heat/cool and more automobiles. So it would be interesting to see that illustrated as well.
> or the assertion that there aren't pension funds and ETF funds willing and able to put 100's of billions of money into the market?

Based on your HN profile, you are 10000x more qualified than me on this subject, but I would like to see some evidence to back up the claim that the shanghai stock exchange has no pension funds trading large volumes of equities over long time horizons.

According to the wikipedia chronology of the Shanghai Stock Exchange [1], an influx of speculators did not enter the market until 2006-2007, following the "unbanning" of IPO's. Presumably the implication is that prior to speculators entering the market, most trades were executed by large institutional investors.

If these institutional investors are not trading on long time horizons (like a pension fund would), then who are they, where does their funding come from, and for what purpose do they use the exchange?

You are talking about ray tracing the first hit and then shading the resulting fragments normally I'm guessing?
I've seen this with measurements and currency.

Why would you have a SSN column if no one has access to it?
If industry could provide better platforms (up to date, not hand me downs or neutered versions of their real product) then I think you might see better forms of this research.

For example, I'd love to improve search relevance, but w/o having access to Google's search engine to build on, it's pretty hard. That's my suggestion. :-)

Seconded. IPv6 brings a lot of nice things that we never would have had in an IPv4 based or extended world. Router fragmentation? Gone! Simple subnetting? Hello ipv6! DHCP? Gone (mostly)! Link local addresses? Got em!

These are all positive things we wouldn't have if we were still clinging to IPv4.

> Ray-tracing has a pretty limited use for photorealism, unless you have a lot of shiny surfaces and such. It can't model diffuse light bouncing off surfaces.

You mean real time ray tracing as it stand now correct? Ray-tracing in a general sense can simulate photography as a whole, just not efficiently (for now).
Well, and I've had native (non-tunneled) IPv6 for more than a decade on my DSL at home ... what's your point?

Routers have been able to handle IPv6 since quite a bit before the introduction of 32 bit AS numbers, so, if you wanted to be able to speak to 32 bit BGP peers, you had to upgrade to a router that can do IPv6 as an unavoidable side effect.

Lots of medical jobs - the NIH is in Bethesda, and Johns Hopkins Hospital is the #1 employer in Baltimore (with the university not far behind). Plus tons of NASA (Goddard), DoD (Ft. Meade and NSA headquarters), and related contractors in the DC suburbs. DC has more post-graduate degrees per capita than any state (and more than most cities), and Maryland gets a lot of spillover.

The difference in the statistics is explained below the chart - "STEM concentration" is based on employment field, regardless of education.
I deeply get your point, but to step away from the metaphor, usually the problem of shitty code is a lack of focus on continual refinement instead of adding features, which is a management/process problem. If you have a serious problem with your process, you're never going to build a solid code base.

Hell, at my last company, we have a big server product made of duct tape and spit, and about halfway through a total rebuild, we had another ball of spit and duct tape made of a slightly trendier stack. We added coders, we brought in front end guys, but guess who we didn't replace?
Nevsky Capital, a successful hedge fund, just shut down and released an interesting letter to its investors that's worth reading in full. I'm not sure about the transparency of India's stock market, but it did not have nice things to say about the quality of their economic data:

"Data releases have become much less transparent and truthful at both a macro and a micro level. At a macro level the key issue is the ever increasing importance of China and India. China is the world’s second largest economy, but already much larger than the US in a broad swathe of sectors. India will be the world’s third largest economy within a decade. Unfortunately their rise is increasing the global cost of capital because an ever growing share of the most important data they produce is simply not credible. Currently stated Chinese real GDP growth is 7.1% and India’s is 7.4%. Both are substantially over stated. This obfuscation and distortion of data, whether deliberate or inadvertent, makes it increasingly difficult to forecast macro and hence micro as well, for an ever growing share of our investment universe."

From a quick browse of Wikipedia, it certainly looks true of Kim Il-sung. I'm too lazy to look up any other early NK leadership, but it certainly seems plausible.

Leadership of a liberated country coming from those who fought against the occupier isn't unusual. China, France, and Yugoslavia all come to mind off the top of my head. China did it twice, with the Communists on the mainland and the Nationalists in Taiwan.
But if a company wanted to make sabbaticals or science-focused internships more interesting for people on the academic career tracks, it probably could ease their confidential policies and design such internships so that said academics can publish, right?

You have mentioned elsewhere that you are looking into how Google can help the academic world focus more on the right industrial questions, and you personally recommend such sabbaticals/internships -- so this seems like a natural step.

> 6in4 gives IPv4 hosts IPv6 addresses which means we only have to upgrade all the edges, but we still have to upgrade all of them.

No-one's turning off their IPv4 stacks though. Under your proposal if one or other edge was IPv4-only then they'd use ordinary IPv4, you'd only see any benefit if both edges were IPv4+, right? Which is the same as when using 6to4. (If you really need to avoid dual-stack even on the local network you can use 6to4 and NAT64).

(6to4 is largely a failure but the kind of approach you propose would have the same issues as far as I can see)

On August 23rd, 2015 China announced they would be allowing pension funds to invest in the domestic stock market for the first time ever. [1] Funds were "allowed" (why would they want to invest in a falling, low-confidence market?) to invest up to 30% of net assets. Clearly the government wanted to allow liquidity to flow into the market and calm investors, and it seems to have worked for ~6 months.

So now the average Chinese consumer will be double-hosed: once over by losses to their personal retail brokerage account, and again by losses sustained by their pension funds.

Hopefully enough Chinese consumers made enough money from the crazy ride up on the market that they cashed out periodically and invested in sensible hard assets such as homes and cars. Because the correction will probably be very painful.

In the UK you can have a one person limited liability company, where the same person acts as the sole director and the company secretary. That sole director can either be an employee and a director or just a director. The difference is that their portion of income from being a director will be in the form of dividends, and the income from being an employee will be salary.
Yeah, that would be more valuable. "Boston" is a huge portion of "MA", while (for example) "San Francisco" is but a small slice of "CA", so if the Boston area were compared directly against the San Francisco area, the results would no doubt be quite different.
Evernote's problem is that their product is frustrating and crappy. It solves a major problem, so people use it despite the frustrations, but they don't love it, and later they abandon it.

Since they have spent billions of dollars trying to build it already, I will go out on a limb and say that they will never improve, and that they will slowly (quickly) burn money until they either IPO (and then continue on this trajectory but with more money to waste) or run low on cash and fire-sale to Google, who will just move their users over to Google docs after a year or two. Evernote is just going to burn cash at some rate until they run out, the only question is how much cash they will be handed.

I think this is all normal. Any big company that's been around for a while has a lot of internal infrastructure that's poorly documented. Often, in the first few months of a new job, when I go to a meeting, not only can't I contribute anything, I don't even know what the words mean.

Perhaps you can befriend someone else who started around the same time and talk to them, I bet they're feeling something similar.

Anyway, I do think what you're being too hard on yourself. You're probably developing meta-knowledge: you may not know the details of the code & tools, but you're learning the underlying concepts and who to talk to about what.

You should also be able to ask your manager for feedback on how you've been coming up to speed, or ask what's typical for people new to the job.

Three to 6 months is often stated as a ramp up time, so I wouldn't be too worried about your 2nd month.

Also, there will be a lot of code & tools you never learn well. That's ok, its not about the stuff you don't know, it's about the stuff you do know.
Something I've seen at every large tech company I've worked at (which includes the author's company), is that some people do the work for something cool. The next step for them will be to prepare a slide deck so that some big name can give a talk at a conference. That doesn't always happen, but it's common.

Depending on the managers and team leads involved, that kind of thing can also happen when promotions come around. At every place I've worked, a common complaint is that the TL for the project got promoted despite not doing much because they were TL. Of course that's not supposed to happen, but it happens all the time.

The post seems to compare the worst case in academia vs. the best case in industry. You could just as easily flip things around and make industry sound bad.

Put it this way: The head on the end of the mast is a significant mass at the end of a long lever. To dynamically stabilize that, you're going to need big, hefty, expensive motors. Well, you already have big, hefty expensive motors to move the thing around in the first place, so it actually costs less money to dynamically stabilize the whole robot.
That's a fair point. The issue is that many of these papers don't seem to acknowledge that industry has (unpublished) solutions, and are somewhat naive as a result.
