Agreed. I see they use "matrices" as the plural of "matrix" (eg, "expectancy matrices" in http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/nine-managerial-decision... ) when those not familiar with mathematics would likely use "matrixes." Examples of matrixes include:

VMWare - http://partnerweb.vmware.com/comp_guide2/sim/interop_matrix....

Reference to the movie "The Matrix" ("How many Matrixes were there?"; see also the comments) - http://scifi.stackexchange.com/questions/109115/how-many-mat...

"Evaluation Planning: Models and Matrixes" - http://www.iste.org/docs/pdfs/evalplan

Of course, in math the plural is matrices. Then again, in biology the plural is genera.

They also have no problem using "cacti" at http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/unlocking-the-mystery-of... instead of "cactuses", even though both are acceptable.
Compare the ngram distribution for genuses/genera at https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=genera%2Cgenus... with almost no hits for 'genuses' vs. cactuses/cacti at cactuses,cacti .

This paper is in Scientific Reports, which is published by Nature but is not regarded as a top-tier journal. It has an impact factor of 5.5 vs. 41 of Nature.

But I would say that "selling the science" occurs more often for high-profile journals because the authors need to convince the reviewers that the paper has a significant impact. Papers in more field-specific journals tend to write conservatively.

After saving an old laptop at work from landing on the garbage pile, I took it home and, on a whim, decided to install OpenBSD on it.

I expected problems of some kind or another and was mentally prepared to install Debian instead, but I was pleasantly surprised that all of the hardware worked out of the box. Since it is old an fragile, and the battery lasts about five minutes, I don't do much with it but keep it around for good luck.

Guess I'll be upgrading this weekend. As luck will have it, I am also binge-watching Doctor Who currently, which fits in nicely with the cover art. ;-)

Out of that list of reasons the airline industry would be so profitable, some do point toward healthy profitability in the form of risk premium (profit which can be used in a corresponding volatility buffer), but some support factors of pathological profitability.

For instance, the high degree of regulation has costs, but it also makes it far more do difficult for competitors to enter the market. Regulation is especially profitable in an industry like aviation where the major airlines are known to exert a great deal of control over their regulatory body, even compared to other industries.

Commoditization can also increase profits, by providing another barrier to entry; when flights are compared (automatically) by price, new firms have less opportunity to distinguish themselves and the economy of scale and start-up costs are especially painful for a hypothetical new airline.

In a working economy, competition is the check against profiteering; all of these factors making it difficult to run an airline ensure that nobody else can start, regardless of how profitable it would be to do so.

I am genuinely interested in your point about trampolines and can you give an example? In Haskell foldl' for example allows you to process a big finite list quite efficiently without trampolines but yes the name of the function is a bit sucky I admit.

It's funny how you can criticize trampolines but then imperative code like this:

var sum = 0;
for( var i = 0; i < elmt.length; i++ ){
sum += parseInt( elmt[i], 10 ); //don't forget to add the base
}

var avg = sum/elmt.length;

document.write( "The sum of all the elements is: " + sum + " The average is: " + avg );

Is a tramp in disguise!
It looks nice and works well, except for the few things I found:

Clicking into a link expands it making editing very easy. I think the same should happen for images. I click the example "boom" image and it just focuses it. I can remove it, but cannot edit (as far as I can tell).

Backspace over some text to remove it. Press ctrl-z. Nothing happens, except it does register something, because try backspacing again. You'll notice it doesn't actually remove the next character, almost as if it's removing something you cannot see. Press ctrl-z 5x in a row and then press backspace 5x, to see what I mean.
It'd be nice to remember original meanings. The "eu" of eugenics means "good" (and how this good is accomplished "positively" or "negatively" doesn't matter), humans have been practicing it for ages though on a much less sophisticated scale (and not as much on our own selves) than things like CRISPR allows for. The thing we should be worried about is dysgenics, "dys" meaning "bad".
The classic story about the deflation bogeyman is that if prices will be lower tomorrow, people won't buy things today. This is demonstrably false with regards to technology purchases, and obviously false with regards to necessities like food. People may delay purchases, but this is a good thing if say you're concerned about resource depletion or general efficiency.

I'd say we're in the making of a hyper-inflationary disaster, as central banks continue to apply their top-down prescription of "productivity", forcing people to work full time make-work jobs (eg FIRE) rather than letting the majority slowly build up savings and create economic conditions that naturally lead to working less (as one would expect from uh, technological progress). The message just won't be received until the petrodollar has completely disintegrated though.

I grow more and more confused about this. Here are some quotes from their terms of use, taken verbatim from https://docs.npmjs.com/policies/open-source-terms:

Some language was changed recently - the diff for the current version of their open source policy is online [0].

> Nothing in this Agreement gives npm any ownership rights in intellectual property that you share with npm Services, such as your Account information or any Packages you share with npm Services (Your Content).

Makes sense. Your code is your code.

> Your Content belongs to you. You decide whether and how to license it. But at a minimum, you license npm to provide Your Content to users of npm Services when you share Your Content. That special license allows npm to copy, publish, and analyze Your Content, and to share its analyses with others.

This doesn't specify irrevocable, nor clarify how that license could be revoked by the content owner.

> When Your Content is removed from the Website or the Public Registry, whether by you or npm, npm's special license ends when the last copy disappears from npm's backups, caches, and other systems.

This seems deceitful. What exactly does "when the last copy disappears" mean? Seems to me that "perpetual backups" would effectively make their "special license" perpetual. Speaking of "special license", they really need to have an attorney write this up.

> Other licenses, such as open source licenses, may continue after Your Content is removed. Those licenses may give others, or npm itself, the right to share Your Content with npm Services again.

Fair enough, and implies that if my license doesn't give them that right, that unpublishing the code should revoke their "special license".

> Either you or npm may terminate this Agreement at any time with notice to the other...The following provisions survive termination of this Agreement: "Your Content", "Feedback", "Indemnity", "Disclaimers", "Limits on Liability", and "General Terms"

So ... I can terminate the agreement, but that doesn't actually terminate anything?

Don't get me wrong, I feel that npm serves an important function in the community, but as this drama continues to unfold, I find myself trusting them less and less.

You're asserting that US interference in the Middle-East has caused present Sunni-Shia conflict, which may well be correct. But I think your supporting point of "it doesn't happen in other parts of the world" is weak.

Of course they aren't tracking down and killing each other in the US, because they're both minority groups and probably rarely even run into each other.

That doesn't say anything about whether they would be doing so if they were both in the majority and their sectarian conflicts were the dominant aspect in society.

> The difference in my eyes is that Muslims in the Americas have
> governments they can depend on for arbitration.

So if the governments in the Americas collapsed do you think the
Sunnis and Shias there would go right back to systematically killing
each other? Could you e.g. say the same thing about the Amish and the
Mormons? Or is there a pre-existing divede between these people that
really has nothing to do with external factors?

You can't both say that Sunni & Shia conflict happens in certain areas of the world because of US foreign policy, and also suggest that Sunni & Shia conflicts would arise between Muslims living in the US who aren't subject to US foreign policy.
You are correct. It is genius. On the other hand...
That's a very interesting question. My guess is that the physics of grabbing things, especially non-rigid things, is very messy and difficult to simulate. It would be great if someone here were able to give a detailed answer to this question though.
Given the mountains of evidence for the economic evidence of science funding, it baffles me how little we spend on the NSF. Their entire annual budget is a measly $7 billion. NASA, at least is not doing so bad, and have seen an increase in public support and funding. The NSF, unfortunately, is a much more behind-the-scenes bureaucratic organization, and doesn't have sexy images of Martian sunsets and Plutonian topography to generate PR. Yet I would argue their work is much more essential, as the academic breakthroughs of today create the game-changing technologies of the future. The most depressing part is that we even have a surplus of PhD's who would make good use of NSF funds.
I said it above (in my long post), but this is powerful:

I'd blace my bet on the deflection circuits (horizontal output transistor). I had similar problems with a more recent CRT, where the top right corner of the image started to shake frantically after a few minutes if you switched to high resolution modes.

This "Tax all the things!" mentality is what got us into the current situation.

If a company is going to incur an enormous tax liability by earning the money under one taxing authority, it will make sense for them to push that revenue to a subsidiary incorporated under a different taxing authority. One with a lower burden.

If, for example, the effective tax rate in the US is about 40% and the effective tax rate in Elbonia is 25%, for a sufficiently large corporation, it makes financial sense to incorporate a subsidiary in Elbonia to handle European and Asian business transactions. If the disparity is large enough, it not only makes sense to do so, it starts to border on insanity not to do it.

As other have pointed out, these reserves aren't mountains of cash sitting in vaults. It's money that's being lent for interest and invested elsewhere.

It all depends on the use case. I'm just trying to refute the parent comment.

All correct, but again, most of this is towards the outward cultural expression of sex. The Kinsey Reports were about sexual practice, and while they may have been a huge shock, my point was that the practice of sex was largely similar in the 50's and the 90's. I grant that the extent of some practices may have been lesser, but sex itself was not so incredibly different (parent poster's words)

I think a better analogy would be if a library accidentally placed a paper copy of their members' records in the library alongside the books, you found it, and instead of informing the library of the horrible mistake you took it over to the library photocopy machine and made a copy for yourself and showed it to everyone to humiliate the library for their mistake.

Or if the printer was in a locked room in the back of a library, to be opened only with a keycard, and said "employees only" and you found out that the keycard didn't work quite right so you could walk right in and use it.

It doesn't matter how easy the hack is. If you use someone else's machine in a way that hasn't been made publicly available AND it is public common knowledge that what you are doing is against the wishes of the people who own the hardware then it's illegal and immoral. If a bank exposes monetary transfer functionality by way of a public http GET request it's very stupid but it's still very illegal to use it to steal money from people.

You're re-defining money in order to make your statement true. That doesn't make your statement true, it merely makes your definition wrong.

Money is (at least) two things: It is a facilitator of transactions, and it is also a store of value. You're saying that, if any particular chunk of money is (for a time) no longer being used for the first purpose, it ceases to be money. But it's perfectly serving the second function. You have to completely ignore that in order to reach your conclusion.

I suspect that your presuppositions are preventing you from looking at this objectively.
Don't you know it's only ok when a given journalist has the blessing of the status quo and doesn't use automatic means (google doesn't count anymore of course, but copypasta of random code to help one on one's search is a big no no) of releasing such information?

If such a "journalist" wanted to write (about potentially classified™ information) about people working for defense contractors who create products only a minority of people care to voice dissent but has the blessing of the status quo, it wouldn't be ok because it would put lives at danger™. There is also an exception to this for when a billionaire helps you write about such info, but only less than 1% of it will ever see the light of day, and one must consult with the thought leaders™ of the status quo in order to have a voice where all the token freedom loving organizations also supported by such billionaire will blogspam such carefully vetted position on one's behalf.

Alongside high school transcript, essays, extracurricular activities, and demographics, yes. It's usually not a simple threshold or ranking, but it gives admissions officers a normalized view of something approximating intellectual horsepower (rigor and quality of high schools varies enormously and mostly responds to socioeconomic status of the neighborhood).

The selection on Netflix started out bad years ago and declined from there. I've started using VidAngel for almost all of my movie streaming lately. They've got a great selection of movies/shows including new releases (e.g., The Martian, The Big Short, The Good Dinosaur, etc.) that I can stream for $1 (or keep if I prefer). The filtering is a nice bonus (no more JarJar Binks). They even have a "Not on Netflix" section.
