That's like hoping people will not talk on the phone/watch TV or eat soup (using both hands) while driving.

I think the worst thing I saw ever was this woman who was having cereal while going 75+ MPH on the highway. She was holding the bowl in her left hand, she'd move her right hand off the wheel, reach down (assuming to the cup holder), grab a spoon, lift it, dip in the bowl, move to her mouth and then return the spoon back to its position before reaching up to grab the wheel again. The whole procedure takes somewhere north of 5 seconds to accomplish. Add to that the fact that she was going at least 20 over the limit and that at any point in time, her eyes are shifting to look into the bowl to see if she's scooped enough, down to the cup holder to check and make sure she's picked up/dropped the spoon properly and you're in trouble.
Hispanic identity, in the eyes of the U.S. Census Bureau, is not a question of race. It's a categorization that they've taken to using for whatever purpose. The WSJ is merely using the available data and qualifying it in the same way that the Census does.

In short, race is a drop-down selection menu, while "Hispanic?" is a separate y/n question, with certain sub-groupings. How does the WSJ presentation of the information amount to cheating?

Relevant 2010 Census questions:

Is Person 1 of Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish origin? (checkboxes for: "No", and several for "Yes" which specify groups of countries)

What is Person 1's race? (checkboxes for 14 including "other". One possibility was "Black, African Am., or Negro".)

I agree. Paul Graham's essays on income inequality expressed my views on income inequality more clearly than even I was thinking them.

I talked with an engineer from a fortune 500 tech company and they chose git over other vcs because they could have permission control; they have sensitive sub project who needs only a small set of engineers with permission to access it, but that subproject/module is part of a bigger project that everyone has access to.

I've yelled at most of my banks for cold calling me exactly like that. My response is, "Can this be corrected online? Otherwise, I will call the 800 number myself and if you could provide any specifics that might speed up that next call I would appreciate."

One of my banks actually switched to a standard recorded message that ends in a "Please call our 1-800 number at your earliest convenience." Better.
1. It's not HTML, it's JSX, a vaguely XML-ish DSL that is compiled to JS. You can (and some people do) write the underlying JS code directly. But, obviously, writing a DSL that compiles to 'React.CreateElement.Div()' is the same (at least as far as seperation of concerns) as writing 'React.CreateEleemnt.Div()' directly.

2) Best practices focused on separation of concerns, and in particular, on avoiding embedding logic into your static HTML. The canonical example to avoid historically was to put JS directly into a links href attribute, but some have suggested Angular is guilty of something equivalent with its ng-* attributes.

3) Conversely, React advocates agree 100% on separation of concerns, but feel the "nothing that looks like HTML can be in the same file as something that looks like JS" injunction is actually an example of separation of technologies.

This is about right, but I think you're not properly weighting the rising role of institutional corporatism at research universities. The push for "translational" research was not driven by scientists. Scientists are not idiots, of course. They know when they have something useful. But the institutions built enormous offices filled with lawyers and finance types to promote and manage their "IP portfolios," as if schools suddenly became VCs. The proceeds from this portfolio feeds back only fractionally into research and education, but primarily it funds a vicious circle of administrative executives and contractors who are the main beneficiaries.

What Paul Graham Is Missing About Inequality
After reading the article, it appears that the author shares your position that both groups should share the credit, FWIW
Yeah, I covered this:

> One can argue that the former is slightly better because the both of us can't read it at the same time, but in my view we're just rationalizing.

With books, most of us just lend books when we're done reading them. It's rare where both need to read at the same time, although (I guess) that can happen.

My greater point is that we, as a society, are perfectly comfortable lending books out to friends or having public libraries simply because we've grown up doing it that way. In an alternative universe, if public libraries or paper books were invented today, most people (especially intellectual property lawyers) would view it as a form of intelletual property theft and consider those things "morally wrong". Not that I'm saying that's right or wrong, it's just that people have a tendency to understand the present in terms of the past (case-based reasoning).

And that's where I would disagree with what is obviously an overwhelming majority: I don't think the returns, compared to costs, are significant and I don't think that the dangers are still huge. Modern cars are very, very safe and have been for years, and I think the industry should begin to prioritize other things (costs, simplicity, aesthetics, etc.) in some cases. I would be less obstinate if much of the safety equipment was optional, rather than required by law.

OTOH, given the absolute blow out that this comment took, I can see that mine is not a popular position. And I would be lying if I didn't admit that a lot of my animus comes from the fact that the vehicles I prefer (the 70-series landcruiser, the Defender 90) are not available in the U.S. due to safety restrictions.

An employer can already fire you for saying something in your free time. An employer can fire you for ANY reason, ANY, that doesn't violate civil rights. This is well known and no one is fighting for any laws to change this. This lawsuit is about harassment, not free speech, and celebrating (legal) "harassment" on the grounds of "free speech" is again, flawed reasoning.
You're asserting a nocebo effect, not a placebo effect, so I don't believe your links are relevant. Further, this person is talking about a perceived correlation between an experience and a natural change, not an intervention, which means it may not even be a nocebo effect, but a different category of issue altogether. Given that, I again suggest you cannot actually demonstrate any math on your claim of probability. Again, I think you're dressing up your feelings in sciencey talk.

Further, your request is nearly tautological. The way that one gets to a big, statistically robust test of a hypothesis is via small stepping stones. E.g., this sort of self-experimentation. If you scoff at everybody doing something small and say, "you're probably wrong because there's no big evidence", you decrease the chances of getting the sort of proof that you claim to want.

I don't think there's anything wrong with saying, "personally, I'd like to see convincing measures of the effect of bright light therapy on mood and intelligence before I adopt this." But that's frustratingly different than your apparent attitude that in 2 minutes of thought you know more about this guy's experience than he does.

Presumably, because xhyve uses the native os virtualization framework, and as such does not require custom third party kernel modules. It also apparently works a bit better with the native os scheduler.
There's a joke that says those that hate Windows use Linux, and those that love unix use BSD.

I think this recent open source push by microsoft is depending on the truth of that statement. I think they're working under the assumption that the recent push of developers using Linux has more to do with those developers wanting to use a superior open source environment than preferring Unix/Linux as an operating system.

All of their open source stuff is really easy to use, IFF you're also using all their other open source software and Visual Studio.

If you're the type of developer who is only using Linux because it has the least path of resistance to using open source libraries and software, they're making good progress towards getting you back into a microsoft ecosystem.

If you're the type of developer who likes the free software philosophy, they're not trying to grab you, because they feel that's not a sizable portion of the people using Linux.

I think they're probably right.

I watched Ep 1 again recently and IMHO Anikin is the worst part, not Jar Jar. Most of Jar Jar's scenes are blissfully short and at least the kids enjoy slapstick. Anikin entertains nobody, and he's critical to the plot.

And he destroyed the enemy force by accident.
That's not going to happen. The trend has been towards increased enforceability of arbitration in employment contracts.

I don't think people should be allowed to waive their rights to civil claims when there's a public policy implication to the claims (discrimination of all sorts, where the suit serves not just to remedy a specific harm but to deter it in the future, would be a canonical example) --- but SCOTUS has decided that people can.
And when that happens, I'll entertain your assertions. It hasn't yet, and I don't see any reason to believe it will soon.

I'm reminded of the numerous false starts of virtual reality. We're now in the beginning of the virtual reality revolution... or.. we're in another false start. I'm even more skeptical that "conversational commerce" is something we'll want or like.
That's kind of like saying "how would you make a car without wheels?". It could be that inherent in the idea of making object X are privacy concerns. The fact that the privacy concerns are intrinsic to the object just means that you have to call the whole object X into question when discussing them.

Your question seems to suggest a sentiment like "there isn't any other way to do this, can you think of one?" but there is, and it's not to do it at all.

Bitcoin study reveals false beliefs on ease of use and privacy
There's a customer-base problem here. Bitcoin's expansion is based on who is willing to consider something different. A new alt-coin promising to do the kinds of things Bitcoin does but better (not crack new customers) can only exist by taking Bitcoin's market-share (which is not big). Being honest with ourselves, this is likely to get lost in the noise until bitcoin is large enough and this weakness of it is exploited enough that a substantial amount of people look for an alternative.
Would this new "multi-party trusted setup" happen to be based on a block chain of its own?

If so, then they've introduced a new sort of meta 51% attack potential in a system that gives no economic incentive to mine (i.e., 51% attack is much easier when its not "51% of everyone trying to earn coins", but instead is "51% of those donating computing to protect zero-knowledge proof"), right?

For the innovation to hit critical mass, do we have to survive a black plague, or will any large devastating event do?

Kidding aside, I wonder how hard it was to break in to the innovative trades without a politically connected benefactor (or be born in to it). This far out historically, we mainly hear the success stories and rarely the failures to which I expect were many and tragic.
If you're going to go through the trouble of having two computers anyway, why not make the second one a home Linux server? Point the docker client's socket at that machine, instead of at a VM.

One of the benefits of doing this, I find, is that all the power-hungry stuff happens on the server, so I can have a really lightweight development machine (e.g. one of the 2015 Macbooks.)

I'm a (or at least was) a huge Michael Lewis fan. Until he wrote a book about the industry I was in (HFT). Regardless of where you stand on HFT, Flashboys does a very bad job explaining the technical aspects that are occurring. Further it presents a completely 1 sided look at the industry, without ever quoting someone knowledgeable about the technical aspects.

I don't dislike Flashboys because of its conclusions, I dislike it because of its inaccuracy. It called inot question every other book of his. Which was really disappointing as I had enjoyed them all so much.

One thing I do to avoid this is to write out the Docker environment to a file in my home directory. Then I source that file, if it exists, for each new terminal session. Not perfect, but you can see it here: https://github.com/bentruyman/dotfiles/blob/392914f92e5a8d8d...

But DLite appears to resolve a lot of this 'hackiness'.
There's a lot of neat work going on in this space because Docker support on OS X is pretty lackluster out of the box. My team and I built Dusty[1] to try to solve many of the same problems, though we seem to be operating at a bit of a higher level than this tool.

I'm excited to try out xhyve for virtualization, but even if you solve the virtualization problem there are still some real usability concerns around using Docker for development in even medium-sized teams. I gave a talk at PyGotham[2] about some of the benefits and issues of using Docker for dev at this point.

All told, this looks like it might be an attractive lightweight solution though if virtualization is your main problem now.
