It by definition is a slippery concept, since the whole concept of "bait" requires an element of deception.

Two quick rules of thumb will take you a long way though.

1) Titles where the reader is referred to in the second person, meaning they have the word "You" in them.

2) Titles that use imprecise emotional/colloquial phrases and speculation instead of the factual crux of the article. Doubly so when the title describes the feeling or consequence that the unstated subject will theoretically inspire.
By "go out" I didn't mean something that requires tickets. It could be dinner, or a short getaway. In very few cases I've given gift cards to amazon or a local mall. It's a little more personal than cash but I still get to leave things open-ended.
Abstract

Social science research finds that the only group to have experienced real economic gains over the past four decades is the top 20 percent of the income distribution. This finding, along with greater awareness of growing inequality, has renewed interest in mobility research that identifies how individuals and their progeny move into and out of upper versus lower income categories. In this study a new mobility methodology is proposed using life course concepts and life table statistical techniques. Panel data from a prospective national sample of the U.S. population age 25 to 60 are analyzed to estimate the extent of mobility associated with top percentiles in the income distribution. Empirical results suggest high mobility associated with top-level income. For example, 11 percent of the population is found to occupy the top one percentile for one or more years between the ages of 25 and 60. The study findings suggest that many experience short-term and/or intermittent mobility into top-level income, versus a smaller set that persist within top-level income over many consecutive years. Implications of the findings are discussed in terms of inequality buffering, opportunity versus insecurity, and the demographics of income inequality.

Yes, I hate the idea of future public lotteries, published ahead of time. The entire idea is to be resistant to a nation-state attack; lotteries seem pretty far down the chain.

If you're in love with lotteries, you could do something like order all lotteries in the world in a published list, and then choose them based on the last digits of bitcoin block hashes over a certain period.

I'm not sure what bitrate you could get through sunspots, but I agree we shouldn't worry about subversion from that angle.
I think we have very different conceptions of "survive" and "killed". Python certainly seems alive and well to me, if not exactly the hottest thing out there.

It's nice to see someone put numbers around this. Of course, the researcher could be part of the conspiracy...

Every time I hear a conspiracy that requires large numbers of people (>1000 especially) to stay quiet - especially when there is good motivation for someone to not keep the secret - I roll my eyes. My favorite in that regard is climate change. The justification for the conspiracy is generally to get research dollars. But with oil companies and other political interests offering generous funding for anti-climate change results, there's a motivation for breaking with the conspiracy. Beyond that, scientists tend to be motivated more by glory than by money, and by knowledge more than by glory. Truth-seekers cannot be easily bribed. And a scientist who disproved climate change effectively would be turning the science world on its ear. There's nothing more glorious for a scientist than substantially changing consensus.

Yes, if you're in a terrible marriage then asking one's spouse about a big purchase could lead to trouble. So what?
Well that is strange but it does make sense. They would be spending a lot of money on bandwidth if that was no the case.
What order do you expect the output to be in when you run flatmap? In doing research on it, I've seen at least three distinct orders. One, results are interleaved. Two, results are depth first. Three, results are breadth first.

If the final order of the output is important (and it frequently is), you have to understand not only "map, then flatten", but the order in which the flatten occurs. And that appears to be implementation dependent.
I grew up with my parents getting us lots of gifts for Christmas and birthdays, but now I realize that I don't enjoy that. I much prefer that they don't send us lots of small gifts that I will have to find a 'spot' for in the house.
I understand how someone can choose to live a very minimalist life. I'm not there yet, but I'm working my way towards having less stuff.
People and relationships change over time. Keep that in mind. Don't know your age (maybe you have been married for 40 years for all I know) but it's quite possible that your attitude might change later on.

To play the devil's advocate, LE can get a court order to search your house, your car, your file folder, tap your phone, and so on, and that's viewed as fair by most people, since there are some checks and balances: they have to convince a judge (we're not talking about the secret NSA court stuff), and have to stick to some rules when they do it.

Why should they not be able to search phones on a case by case basis, with a court order?

That's something reasonable people are going to ask.

Edit: This is a pretty good analysis of why turning over a tool to the FBI is a terrible idea: http://www.zdziarski.com/blog/?p=5645 - but the FBI is saying they don't want that. The guy in the blog disagrees.

Let's say they meant what they said and everything stays inside Apple. Why shouldn't a court be able to order a search?
I disagree. This is a criminal case

I like the metaphor too but I don't think it's direct enough. The original seven habits had very direct advice "Sharpen the saw", "Being with the end in mind" so I think "Think for yourself" fits with the style.
It's times like these that I wish I had a better understanding of biology/chemistry/genetics. I fancy myself a Python/data person, does anyone have any advice on what to read to begin understanding how to utilize a package like this?
I do paid search for a living, and it has been fascinating to watch the evolution of the SERPs.

This one is a big step backwards IMHO. For many queries now, the first page has essentially become an interstitial.

I have to say I feel it is quite "un-Googley" in the sense of the search team's balance against the AdWords team. Many people like to rail against Google for various things, but historically they've always done a pretty solid job of maintaining this internal balance.

Some will argue that "if the results are relevant to the query, that is all that matters." But this is going a step too far in that the only results are the ones paid for, which means there is another factor beyond "relevancy" at play (despite how CTR impacts Quality Score).

All of this is on top of advertiser concerns that CPCs are likely to rise as a result (which I agree is likely to occur). While not the case for my account in particular, the net result is also likely to make it harder for small local advertisers to compete on the paid side when they are up against large national advertisers.

Personally, I'm going to focus on beefing up our Bing presence and other non-paid channels. Diversification is important, and ultimately there's not much that can be done about it. Businesses will continue to pay the CPCs they can afford until they are no longer profitable, and then they won't. Those who don't diversify will suffer the consequences of putting all their eggs in one marketing basket.
Advice to my younger self as a woman in technology
Numbers aside, there is nothing in our universe that suggests that we shouldn't take the concept of future timelike infinity seriously, and some evidence that we should, notably the accelerating metric expansion of space.

That in turn gives us a receding horizon, which gives us Unruh radiation, which gives us fluctuations (and there are other sources for those), and that in turn poses all sorts of theoretical problems ranging from outright Poincaré recurrence to "mere" Boltzmann brains. Getting rid of these when you take infinity seriously is a theoretical challenge.

If we could prove that the universe will not expand forever, that would be a nice outcome of research in physical cosmology.
Hey a section is one square mile. So Iowa has over 50,000 sections. 90% under cultivation. Most for grain, not for animals. So in Iowa alone, we've about met that number. Add in California, Illinois, Nebraska and so on and we zoom past that number.

Of course we do. There are thousands of rodents for every cow. This is a silly discussion. Its a pity it makes Vegans seem responsible for billions of deaths, but there it is.

And I seriously doubt that 15 farm animals are killed for every man, woman and child on the planet. That's gotta be fiction.
Right now its mostly about “divide and conquer”. They inject moles into political groups which will then actively push for violence and extremism which in turn causes a split of the group. Another effect is that people that are active in opposition politics are always questioning whether their comrades are on the states payroll (“V-Mann”).
The goals here are to 1) weaken opposition, and 2) provide plausible reason for more sate security (e.g. Verfassungsschutz).

(Historically, the Verfassungsschutz was founded after WW2 and its goal was to persecute communists. It was headed by hardcore Nazis for more than 30 years. Even the Americans called it a “phony” institution, since its name translates to “Constitution Protectors”.)

There are rumors that big parts of the Neo-Nazi scene is funded by the Verfassungsschutz. They funded and instrumented the NSU assassinations and the Oktoberfest bombing. That's only what we know of today, go figure.

If there was a fascist regime change in Germany, yes, I would expect a lot of people to be disappeared.

Impact on me personally, right now? How would you feel if there was a military black-ops agency tapping you?
I have nothing but admiration for the writers hard work, and I (as a Bernie fan) want to strongly object to it. I think my objections and his mirror the political divide in this country - the left wants a more compassionate world, the right sees the desire for redistribution as lazy people wanting to take from the people who've actually earned. While there's a bit of truth in both viewpoints, I'd ask him to consider :

- because he had to go through this experience, should everybody? would it be better if we had, say, government-paid college? more opportunity? maybe he could have studied something he wanted?

- do we really want a society where you pretty much have to choose between entrepreneurship or starvation? No poets? physicist? Teachers?

- college is far less affordable now then when he or I went to school (didn't read the cite at the end, sorry, but the fact is there regardless of who's responsible)

- Our society has unquestionably become more economically savage in the last few decades. Out of work? good luck on your health care, sucker. Do we really want a society where everybody has to give up everything to strive to be wealthy because that's the only safe harbor?
I'm not entirely sure what you mean by #2, but I think you're number #1, combined with "universally the businesses that pay for keyword ads" is way, way, way, way off-base.

Of course shit and scams surface in search ads because Google doesn't do a good enough job of policing them, but they aren't completely ignoring the issue either. Ultimately, you're not buying ads to lose money and making high-intent keywords cost A LOT of money per click, so it's hard to play the game if you're not producing sales from it.

Right, but how do you do that if your coworkers are just as against communication, and decide to go straight to the manager to complain without asking how the code works first?
> But he doesn't fully support Apple, either

Oh.
Depends. Google's AdWords account team want the maximum spend out of you, not best performance, so up that bid!

If you are a small business or one person the main block is simply overpriced - by a long way for many keywords, and is just the brands usually.

Top 1 or 2 in the sidebar are usually noticeably cheaper and do bring in a decent amount of clicks for popular keywords. I'd call it the sweet spot for someone bootstrapping or a tiny business. Sure you'll get more clicks bumping to 3rd in the main block, but only if you can afford 24/7 coverage on that keyword. If your budget is limiting display then increasing bid will mean less business overall.
That's absolutely irrelevant. Terrorism is politically motivated violence, full stop. You don't have to be a card-carrying member in a "designated terrorist organization" to be a terrorist, and to suggest that you do is myopic and naïve.

> Google has long been a thought-leader in this space, and this shows in the sophistication and quality of its data offerings. From traditional batch processing with Dataproc, to rock-solid event delivery with Pub/Sub to the nearly magical abilities of BigQuery, building on Google’s data infrastructure provides us with a significant advantage where it matters the most.

Big Data is the core strength of Google Cloud. Good to see this move by Spotify!

> What really tipped the scales towards Google for us, however, has been our experience with Google’s data platform and tools. Good infrastructure isn’t just about keeping things up and running, it’s about making all of our teams more efficient and more effective, and Google’s data stack does that for us in spades.

What I really really liked about Google Cloud is the ease of use. Spin up a VM, start Cloud shell, SSH into your instance, install a bunch of software and you will know what I mean. It's "Quality" Cloud.
I think the closer analogy would be being asked to wear a hijab to satisfy someone else's religious beliefs. I don't think that's the same as being asked not to be seated next to a woman because it's looked down upon in your religion, but I can understand how people might be offended by it.

If anything, I think it's more likely that the annoyance was caused mostly by the delay itself rather than what was causing it.
And Tesla did nothing of note from that time onward. Did the suspicion that he was responsible for thousands of deaths, and that he'd invented a weapon too terrible to contemplate, cause him to retreat from his work? Hard to think otherwise.

Treating adults equally regardless of gender is a part of what we expect of others we interact with. It's a pretty major clash with something that doesn't really fall under religion, but the even more general social values we use to form a society.

If this person wants to avoid women, he should do what other reasonable people do to accomodate themselves: arrange for it in advance, without inconveniencing others. Telling people to their face that you can't sit next to them breaks most social rules.

Here's another. Imagine you want the ratio of two clock sources. Put them both through frequency dividers, with one divider output put through a phase shifter. compare the resultant divided frequencies by xoring the signals together. The ratio of the frequencies is given by the ratio of the dividers when you can find a phase shift such that the xor output doesn't change. The time you wait to see if the xor output doesn't change represents the certainty you have in your ratio. This is called the time frequency uncertainty relation, also known as the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
Tools and parts. One of my weak points too. There's not much I don't fix myself.

I noticed that there was a battle from the 20th century in the eastern Bay Area, and was confused about what it could be. It turns out that it was the Port Chicago disaster (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Port_Chicago_disaster).

It was during wartime, and a lot of people died, but it really wasn't a battle. It was an accident that involved a lot of munitions. The only opponent in that "battle" was unsafe working conditions.

They don't have the explosion of the munitions ship in Halifax in 1916 listed as a battle, which was a very similar situation, so I'd say there are some issues with the source data.

It's a very interesting map though. They have a lot of stuff on there.
In grad school I could fit everything I owned into my small pickup. Now that I am married w/ 3 kids, it would take a semi truck to move. I long for those simpler days. sigh.
In that case, then he should follow his convictions and move, not request that the woman be moved, which is what has happened in many of these situations.
I really wish we only gave gifts to children and that between adults people would exchange just edibles (wine, chocolates, or some really nice home baked bread) if they exchanged anything at all.

That's an interesting perspective, as Derek's future is quite secure. He had a large personal exit from his business CD Baby, and put all the money into a charitable trust[1] that will be given away when he dies, but in the meantime pays him a (very) good annual income out of the interest for the rest of his life.

You didn't make that distinction in your "pussy-whipped" comment. Perhaps rather than pussy-whipped, he just hasn't had his marriage degenerate into a state where he feels the need to cling onto every bit of power he can get. I've not been with my wife for 40 years, just ten, but I hope I never reach the stage where I feel the need to avoid discussing things with her in case it means I have to cede some power.
Dropped the first 60 in 4 months, that didn't feel great, 1500 calories a day for 4 months got old really fast but yeah physically I feel better than I have in a long time.

Actually, it seems to be an external blaming behavior in that at least one of the people involved said he didn't want to be tempted when his wife wasn’t there. That would imply that, by either touching or being near the woman, that she would become desirable to him by some behavior. It's that behavior that is being judged (and frequently pre-judged) by these people based on their beliefs, which is at the root of the problem.

No, it is not okay. The phrase 'pussy whipped' has no place in civilized discourse. It is wrong and it has always been wrong. Even if you pad it in an apologetic way, it is wrong.

In a civilized society, we have respect for our significant others and run all major decisions by them. Basic human respect does not deserve to be disparaged.

Those thoughts sometimes lead me to conclusion that "gift" tradition is invented or supported by marketing. It sounds like conspiracy theory, but it is partially true: take for example valentines day that is exploited by advertisement industry each year. I wonder if that gift tradition would be nearly dead were it not for aggressive advertising.
