Like other comments have mentioned, a short is not a voltage reversal. The methods to alleviate them are different. As the connector is polarized, the only way to get a voltage reversal is for something seriously strange to happen either at the power supply end or the cable.

If it is at the power supply end, all bets are off. If your USB charger fails short prepare for mains voltage to absolutely fry anything and everything connected to it and a negative voltage is the least of your worries. In the cable, a miswiring is seriously negligent and I see no reason why it should be designed around.

Windows Phone's predictions was nothing much, though. SwiftKey is capable of supporting multiple keyboard layouts, their magic is that prediction software.

And that they're feeding each other.

And maybe in such a way that creates the worst of both worlds. The sufficiently informed and conscientious covert actor can find some way to keep much of their communications obscured. This utterly freaks out state apparatuses that consider legibility a key goal. So they work harder to more broadly collect signals AND chip away at obscuring methods. Would-be coverts escalate. So does the state.

End result? It could well be that the motivated/educated still can keep enough of their secrets hidden, but communications for the mass of people who don't have the reasons/resources for participating in the arms race end up largely transparent. And, well, if the resulting panopticon falls short of realizing its original purpose, it's still bound to have a certain amount of utility one way or another -- at least, not without a high degree of accountability.
LSD, at least for me, was forced meditation.. you're in a mental state where the present moment is all there is. That was a complete opposite of the ADHD mental state, where I resisted being in the present, but lived in the future to look forward to, the past to avoid things I didn't like or could potentially hurt me, and just uncontrollable urge to understand how everything works.

The truth is, we only have so much time left on this earth, that it's impossible to understand everything that exists.. we can only try our best with the situations we're in and given.

Anyway, once I realized the importance of the present moment, it made it easier for me to do things I've always wanted to do, and neglected to do. I felt like my mind did a disk-defrag, completely nuked my old self, and started with a clean new slate to relearn things.
Not judging the merit of the complaints, but trying to "cure" gender imbalances by adding another imbalance will create strong non-linearities, that will attract people that like to exploit these non-linearities instead of attracting true talent.

For every individual, every probability is always 50/50 - either something happens, or not. If an individual, a man, is affected negatively by a pro-women policy, he won't forget it for a lifetime. Because he is not a statistic, he is a person that has only one life to live.

Personally, if I were affected by this, or a colleague were, I'd find another job immediately, and watch the ship sinking from a safe distance.
I asked a question last year about whether there is an app like Evernote but more tailored to the programmer's need. Quiver's developer answered my post then but the app was lacking one major functionality - cloud sync. Let's see if it's addressed now :D
It doesn't really work for me because then I'd be hosting it myself. Even with Digital Ocean, I ended up shutting down a hobby website after a year because I was the only one using it (and then rarely) and I didn't want to pay the monthly fee anymore. App Engine would have been a better choice - everything I put there is still running.

Sandstorm on Digital Ocean might be somewhat better since I could cram more onto one instance, provided I was running multiple things there that I actually used.

I don't think luxury goods are at all a useful comparison to the various entertainment industries. I would argue entertainment is far closer to what Google/Amazon/Netflix/Apple are doing than it is to what jewelry makers are doing.

And, I think it's too early to tell what'll happen to luxury watch makers. I think that cockiness is not well-founded. I'd be willing to bet that in a few more years, those traditional watches will be as common as cuff links. They'll still exist, but they won't be considered a standard part of people's every day wear, even people who buy and wear luxury goods.

I do agree with you, however, that Hollywood and the entertainment industry wield way more political power than the size of their industry would indicate. They're good at lobbying, and they have a few friends in very high places (like Disney) to fight their battles for them, such as copyright terms, for example.

>If you break down the processes of the brain to a low enough level, all of the 'intelligence' will disappear, just as it does in a computer neural network.

Well no. Free-energy minimizing, multi-information maximizing generative causal modeling is what appears when you break down the processes of the brain (at least as we best understand them right now).
In all seriousness, I don't know the onion article you're referencing and I am wildly curious now...?
Facebook actually uses Facebook heavily internally. Groups, calendars, etc. It's certainly not a mandate, it's used because it works for them.
I didn't bother checking this out, but I feel like this is round 2. I remember when facebook was only limited to schools and then workplaces before being available to all. At the time, they optimized their "modules" to better facilitate "work/study" environments.

If this is indeed round 2, this is great!
I saw an interesting article [1] talking about Facebook at work adoption at Club Med, making the point that all their minimum wage workers were already familiar with Facebook on mobile devices, so adoption/training was easy for them, compared to learning a new interface for a workplace chat/collaboration product.

>But for most of the world, including the people using whatever Marcus's startup eventually makes, predictive accuracy trumps interpretability.

As far as I understand, the adjoint method computes gradients for functions that obey hard constraints (such as fluid solvers), and the main advantage is that it avoids differentiating through iterative constraint satisfaction procedures.

I had some success with naively differentiating through fluid solvers, though. Here is a fluid field whose initial velocities have been initialized so that it will end up matching a given image (i.e. blowing a fancy smoke ring:)

and here's a free-form wing shape in the middle of being optimized to maximize lift-to-drag ratio:

https://github.com/HIPS/autograd/blob/master/examples/fluids...

I too find it baffling when I see engineers doing gradient-free optimization of simulated objective functions, although it's not always easy to compute gradients, especially when using massive Fortran codebases or very large-scale simulations.
Being able to do a git clone of a repo containing text files that I actually understand, with a full history, is very comforting.

What I really want is a "linkedin at work" kind of product. In large cross functional organziations, it is often not easy to find who is the right person to talk to. For example, in a ecommerce firm, if you item description is wrong, you do not necessarily know whom to contact. I would like a product, internal to a company, where people write about all things they work on, in linkedin style summaries. Hopefully, this will have similar features in future.

I take it you've never used Yammer, which was created as "Facebook for work" seven years ago. The Yammer news feed is actually a great way to stay generally aware of what's going on in your company across lots of different groups or functions. I'm an engineer and its nice to see what sales and customer support are worried about from time to time and occasionally chimein when I can be helpful. At my company we use chat for quick, immediate conversations, and Yammer for bigger, more in depth conversations about product or architecture or various business tactics.

I imagine Facebook for Work would happily fill a very similar role to Yammer, sitting comfortably alongside chat. Of course, they'll probably have a much easier time with distribution given the brand recognition.

I think, in the context he's saying meditation and drugs are similar, they're referring to psychedelics and their ability to blur reality and perceptions.

Amazon Plans Hundreds of Brick-And-Mortar Bookstores, Mall CEO Says
"We all spend most of our time at work -- yet, somehow, we seem to give up every right as a human being when we become employees."

Workers in the IT industry probably have the cushiest jobs in the world. You make way above minimum wage, you aren't risking your life, and your job can be done from the comfort of a heated or cooled office environment.

I'm not sure what rights you think you are giving away as an employee. Employee/Employer relationships are usually legally bound by a contract. You are free to change the contract or question it before you work there.

If you choose not to do this or don't want to take the time and effort into finding another job, it's no fault but your own.

I think what's missing is education. Most people are so complacent, they don't want to read anything they sign and then act surprised when it contains something undesirable.

I've crossed out and questioned plenty of employee contracts. Most businesses will work with you on this.

I also don't know what more laws you want. As a business, you have to be so careful as to not step on someone's toes or offend them or you will find yourself in a lawsuit.

Employees have nearly all the power in today's society (especially with hashtag warriors starting digital riots against companies that do any little thing they don't like), and somehow you think you need more? It just doesn't make any sense to me beyond pure greed and entitlement.

"After all, we live in a time where incredible wealth is being created (it just seems to be hoarded by the 1%)"

Worldwide, you are in the top 1% if you are making more than ~$30,000/year.

I know the current narrative is to punish the 1% for 'hoarding' money and somehow screwing you out of your earnings, but it's just not happening.
I think something is broken on mine then. It takes an hour and five ten minutes to go from 15% to full from a wall charger. Are you sure it only takes 15-20 mins?

Or that the people whom you paid $200 to take rights away from are even a threat. Good job.

Yup! I meditate each day, 20 minutes, to help me get back into the present moment that LSD opened up for me. Honestly, for me, 20 minutes is where my mind and breath starts to slow down, and other than a calming effect, it's not very noticeable. I only do 20 minutes most of the time because of time restraints.

If I continue, I start seeing colors swirl around the 30min mark, reminding myself not to get attached to it. After 40 min, the cognitive changes are VERY noticeable when I stop. Food tastes great, colors are vivid, and I can even feel the individual water drops in the shower.. I liken it to cannabis effects without the racing thoughts.

I read the first thread. People are under informed about discrimination cases. Ending an affair in the workplace is a common trigger for retaliation. Yet, someone argued that a woman was more likely to fabricate complaints after ending a relationship. Who is more likely to be vindictive? The manager or the employee? Most people acknowledge power tends to corrupt.

Though Pao did have a few things going against her. Husband wasn't a pillar of the community. The actual case, according to my employment lawyer friend, was weak.

Given Yahoo's track record it is much easier to believe this whole mess was due to ineptitude by management/hr, yet sexual discrimination is a much 'sexier' headline so they went with that.. and oh look all the "super smart" people on hacker news still "circle jerk" over it. It's almost like were not a superior community and are quite comparable to the rest of the internet..

Sort of. You can run emacs as a daemon and attach to it with emacsclient. Then when you want to detach, you just C-x C-c like usual, or disconnect and let the emacsclient process die. You have to remember to run emacs as a daemon up front, though.

You could also run emacs inside something like dtach or abduco [1], which are a "session managers" like screen or tmux but without the multiplexer.

All this talk about mental-math base conversions reminded me of the "double-dabble" algorithm, which lets you quickly convert binary to decimal in your head.

> In the 1960s, the term double dabble was also used for a different mental algorithm, used by programmers to convert a binary number to decimal. It is performed by reading the binary number from left to right, doubling if the next bit is zero, and doubling and adding one if the next bit is one.[4] In the example above, 11110011, the thought process would be: "one, three, seven, fifteen, thirty, sixty, one hundred twenty-one, two hundred forty-three," the same result as that obtained above.

I love LSD, and I've done a few (<10) full trips in my youth. But as I've gotten older that kind of intense experience just doesn't have the same appeal. One thing my friends and I have discovered is the pleasantness of micro-dosing. Put 1 tab of acid in 4 tablespoons of water, mix it a bit, let it sit for 10 minutes, and then each person takes a tablespoon. In about 45 minutes it comes on but it's not strong at all. No hall of mirrors effect, no out-of-control feeling, just 4 hours of laughing and a heightened sense of being in tune with your surroundings. Highly recommended.
That's an entirely separate issue from the one that my comment speaks to. :)

Don't use it day to day; we use Google Docs at my company, so that's what I happen to use for most of that kind of stuff.

Was quick and easy and we were able to go on with the phone screen.
I feel research into psychedelic drugs needs to be conducted a lot more. There may be many applications of psychedelic drugs in treating various medical conditions, and only by understanding how psychedelic drugs work can we begin thinking about it's applications.

Personally though, I feel we shouldn't be promoting the use of psychedelic drugs for recreational purposes in any form(such as commenting how awesome the experience of using LSD was) and especially not in public forums.
Well, yeah. That was the point. Very expensive fashion statements with incredibly high profit margins.
