The anger/frustration I get. But I find it interesting that it makes you empathize less, where for me it has the opposite effect.

Even though the show is obviously meant to be entertainment first, I feel it does a good job to show how frustratingly often the characters' actions are not a direct result of bad decisions alone, but always at the very least also to do with their lack of education (and 'learned' self-discipline), random events, precarious and stressful living situations, societal issues, and basically anything else that is 'external' and by definition not the characters' faults.

And being reminded of that makes me empathize more, despite the fact that I cringe at how stupid so much of the stuff is, and how superficially easy it seems to avoid much of it.

The number of professions that connect to registered nurses seems really high. Especially in the gay male community. Huh.

Wow. I do know a lot of gay male nurses.

Disclaimer: I don't know of any stereotyping around that, but if there is, I'm certainly not trying to contribute to it.
I'm 30 and feel much the same way. I feel like the media conception of "millenial" is really "someone who is 17" mixed with "what do our NYC interns do?"

> Probably because that's not tracked as a profession beacuse it's not really one.

Anyone who thinks being a homemaker is not a profession has no clue what it entails. If you consider a couple as a single unit, it's simply optimizing by specialization. When you look at the cost of baby-sitting/nannies it makes a lot of sense too. Why make $40K extra if I'm going to spend $35K on a nanny?

> You are tracked by what you actually learned.

No you're tracked by what your current position is. I'm pretty sure that office assistants who studied literature are still tracked as office assistants.

> People become stay at home mums/dad in the relationship, not before.

Exactly and this data represents a set of married people, not a set of jobs. If it doesn't include homemaker as an option then you've excluded all married single income households.

Your friend might want to look into Archive Team, then. See how well their current tools support a crawl of Soundcloud, that the documentation is up to date, plan out how a pre-closure crawl would go, and do a small test run to check that everything goes as it should.
I am not a physicist, and dont have a good mental model of gravitational waves (or general relativity at all), so maybe someone can answer my laymans question: do these waves behave like ripples in water, so a single event generates multiple repetitive, concentric waves permeating through space? That would make me think that a single massive event would be easier to detect because it would leave many repeated "echoes", ringing space for a long time after the actual event.

The article makes it sound like the detection of these waves is just a quick one-time blip though. I'd expect something as big as black holes merging to generate more longer lasting waves than just a quick blip. What is the period of these waves?

I think your argument fails for a few reasons:

(1) It simply fails to understand the scientific method, which is empiricism, not mathematical/logical proof. Scientific evidence is essentially failed disproof, not logical proof.

(2) It mischaracterizes the nature of the prediction, which includes not merely that something will be measured, but that a particular pattern will be measured.

(3) It proposes unspecified "geophysical causes" as an alternate explanation, but there was no pre-existing geophysical model which predicted the pattern observed. (Any after-the-fact geophysical -- or other -- alternative explanation which explains the observed pattern would also need to perform differently on some other test to be verifiably different, and then we could do the test to distinguish the source.)

(4) It misstates the reasoning to contrast it with other experiments, this is exactly "when X, I will observe Y" (where X is "I construct detectors of a particular type in more than one location" and Y is "I will periodically detect particular patterns of signals on those detectors -- not just one of them alone -- which the model predicts will be produced by collisions of massive, distant objects.")
Most modern compilers do data-flow analysis to identify which statements are independent of each other, and they'll rearrange instructions so they can saturate a processor's pipeline. That's what superscalar processors are - they have multiple instruction decode units, so they're executing multiple instructions at once even within a single thread.

A bigger problem is that many algorithms aren't really parallelizable. Throw a single mutable shared variable into the mix - even something as innocuous as a counter, or memory allocation pointer, or a logging buffer - and suddenly you need locking and your threads may end up starving each other. Once of the biggest breakthroughs of MapReduce is that it forces you to write your algorithm as functions that operate on independent data. But as someone who's written a decent amount of MapReduces - the thought process about how you design a MapReduce-based algorithm is very different from (and significantly more difficult than) single-processor programming. You can't just go to an algorithms textbook and copy some pseudocode, you need to actually think through what the algorithm and what it's doing, and then rewrite many state updates as message-sends, merges, and CRDTs. (This, BTW, is why Google interviews focus so heavily on algorithms - in many other jobs "How would you find the shortest path between a trillion graph vertices?" is totally academic, but in big data it comes up all the time.)
7 Areas in Which Web Applications Are Becoming Indispensable
Iteration and verification is a part of this.

The core idea is plausible, if circular at present. That's OK. Now, we take that and run with it to expand on what we think we understand and hopefully, confirm and even more hopefully, crack open some new physics.

Seems like Einstein nailed it.

But, questions remain. Any of those could yield insights of similar potency and, ahem... gravity.

> The US did the exact same thing with Lehmann - they found the bank that was more fucked than the rest, let them fail in a controlled manner, and it sent a signal to the market that "this is serious, equity will be wiped out, but it's not financial Armageddon".

Umm, I guess this could be a matter of opinion but this seems completely wrong to me.

I'd argue the Lehman failure was anything but controlled, and so would pretty much anyone in the finance industry.

I'd also argue that the government didn't let them fail to be an example, that was done with Bear Sterns. The government try extremely hard to save Lehman and ultimately it was Lehman's ownership,who refused to have their equity wiped out, who sunk the company.
That, and the high frequency. For example, the Earth orbiting the Sun produces gravitational waves at a frequency that's about (factors of 2 and pi here and there) the orbital frequency; order of 1e-8 Hz. The black holes were producing 250Hz waves if I read the article right.
Link Rot is a serious problem for the internet in general. From Gwern: http://www.gwern.net/Archiving%20URLs

>In a 2003 experiment, Fetterly et al. discovered that about one link out of every 200 disappeared each week from the Internet. McCown et al 2005 discovered that half of the URLs cited in D-Lib Magazine articles were no longer accessible 10 years after publication [the irony!], and other studies have shown link rot in academic literature to be even worse... Nelson and Allen... examined link rot in digital libraries and found that about 3% of the objects were no longer accessible after one year.

>Bruce Schneier remarks that one friend experienced 50% linkrot in one of his pages over less than 9 years (not that the situation was any better in 1998), and that his own blog posts link to news articles that go dead in days; Vitorio checks bookmarks from 1997, finding that hand-checking indicates a total link rot of 91% with only half of the dead available in sources like the Internet Archive; the Internet Archive itself has estimated the average lifespan of a Web page at 100 days. A Science study looked at articles in prestigious journals; they didn’t use many Internet links, but when they did, 2 years later ~13% were dead. The French company Linterweb studied external links on the French Wikipedia before setting up their cache of French external links, and found - back in 2008 - already 5% were dead. (The English Wikipedia has seen a 2010-2011 spike from a few thousand dead links to ~110,000 out of ~17.5m live links.) The dismal studies just go on and on and on (and on). Even in a highly stable, funded, curated environment, link rot happens anyway. For example, about 11% of Arab Spring-related tweets were gone within a year (even though Twitter is - currently - still around).

>My specific target date is 2070, 60 years from now... Even at the lowest estimate of 3% annual linkrot, few will survive to 2070. If each link has a 97% chance of surviving each year, then the chance a link will be alive in 2070 is... ≈0.16 (or to put it another way, an 84% chance any given link will die)... If we try to predict using a more reasonable estimate of 50% linkrot, then an average of 0 links will survive... It would be a good idea to simply assume that no link will survive.

Can we talk about your opinion of it not being a profession? I've always noticed that good homemakers share the same qualities of a good professional. Organized, punctual, good communicator, and good manager. They don't earn a paycheck from an employer, but neither do other professions. A home maker simply does not stay at home and watch TV (well, a good one). There is a lot of work behind keeping a home in good standing.

Sure, but LIGO is sensitive at something like 1 part in 1e20, which is a lot more than 4000x better than 1 part in 1e6.

This just shows how out of touch the previous generation of developers are with the newer generation. I'm glad that 50+ old engineers are no longer around and have tough time getting hired. Frankly people born out of post-Sputnik all share this kind of high mightyness I'm seeing in the industry, shunning all new conventions for rigid old values.

Not only that, but this whole health plan debate is weird for those of us in high deductible HSA plans. My health insurance costs negative $1000 ($-1000), because my company pays me extra if I choose an HSA plan, and the company covers the high deductible premium. What the heck happens to those if health insurance goes single payer?

Unfortunately not-entirely-unreasonable skepticism can be mistaken for hostility by people excited about a potentially groundbreaking result.

That said, it sounds like they did a lot more work to eliminate sources of error than you may be aware of. OTOH if seismic resonance was causing the correlation, there would probably be more time between the events at the two facilities.

Scientists will try to poke holes in these results while further experiments will try to corroborate them. Meanwhile laypeople will be introduced to more oversimplified and counterproductive ways to think about this stuff. Business as usual.
I agree completely. I'm not the one who will sit down and attempt to implement my own RSA, or hashing algorithms.

Not an executive of any kind and can barely afford to raise one kid in a tiny apartment in NYC. According to this calculator, under Bernie's tax plan I will have pay more tax equivalent to one month of disposable income.

So yeah, it's almost certain that whatever Bernie promised, will be, as it always be, paid by the upper middle class.
Sounds like basically your usual corporate middle+ manager that marries to there, which seems to somewhat bind rather tightly to the further left.

This is really a hard graph to follow. There's probably a reasonable chord diagram arrangement that could help us filter through the data, but perhaps really this is too unwieldy for even a chord diagram due to the relatively high number of node vertexes to associate together.

A lot of the things we associate with semiconductors is actually chemistry, i.e. photoreactive resists, proper surface deposition of various layers of metals.

Also usually referred to as a joke, but "Plastics." How many things around you are absolutely dependent on fairly advanced plastics? How about all those polymers, the nylons, the kevlars, the polyesters?

And molecular biology itself is the study of chemistry.

Chemistry gets overlooked because it's the backbone, the support for all of these fields, like the doting mother who lets her children go forward and take the spotlight, but without whom nothing would be possible.

Yes, and don't forget about the foregone tax savings from having an HSA account in the first place (which this site does not take into account).

This site is a great example of how incomplete information can be misleading. For most people reading this site, the bulk of the impact would not be from the income tax or the health insurance costs, but the secondary impact that Sanders's plans would have on their other assets.

EDIT: Nevermind, some commenters further downthread pointed out that the visualization was adjusted to always show same sex lines.

For me it was some of these jobs not having heterosexual lines in both directions. "Electrical Power-Line Installers and Repairers", "Pipelayers, Plumbers, Pipefitters, and Steamfitters", and "Welding, Soldering, and Brazing Workers" don't have any female -> male lines at all if I'm reading the charts right, just male -> female and female -> female. "Miscellaneous Office Support Workers", "Receptionists and Information Clerks", and "Preschool and Kindergarten Teachers" are the reverse.

It makes sense given that gay people are more likely to be gender nonconforming and all of those jobs are gendered very strongly, but still interesting to see the extent of it.
