It might be helpful to compile a list of those citations online (your own website, perhaps?). This is the sort of essay that might get shared around a whole bunch....it would be a shame for its impact to be lessened because of the inevitable judgment people will have for the hosting publication.

It may be a perfect example of the "secular bias" the publication references, but I too groaned inwardly when I went to check out the "about" section after completing my read. Not because I changed my mind on the content of the article, but because I was imagining sharing it and having to deal with an argument about publication bias (in the media) for an essay about (among other things) publication bia (in the sciences)
Yeah, I'm not too happy about how we're using regex inside a groovy script for the final matching - when we scale this to support larger matches we'll likely hit memory issues trying to parse the entire string at once, and I've been playing around with the idea of streaming the bases into a state machine. Is that similar to what you were referring to?

Do you have a way of generating state machines, or are they hand coded? Is it a perf optimization, or does it help integrating domain-specific logic?
>Besides, NVMe SSDs are expensive

Yes. If you're bargain hunting for gaming hardware you should just buy a console. Or, if you're seriously suggesting to put an Intel 750 into some old system like SandyBridge.. no comment. I would never recommend someone bother doing that.

Step up to an NVME setup, Skylake and do it right. Skylake i5 setups can be had for cheap. You're just arguing to argue on that point. Whether or not you have anything useful to add. The SB argument is common knowledge, an age old argument at that with no new information or insight.

>Name me an M.2 NVMe SSD that is more cost effective than a Mushkin Reactor (1TB, MLC, maxes out the SATA6gbps bus, $200), or has faster I/O speeds than a 750.

I'm not into cost-effective bargain hunting. Anyone who would gimp a nice Intel 750 SSD on a non-NVME system is a fool and you've suggested it.

>The cheapest of GPUs are significantly better than IGP.

No they aren't. The point about DX12_1 IGPs is that it's there, it's modern and it has already sucked the life out of the low end space and moving into the midrange with Iris Pro. Your stance is the 2010-era view on computers. Same era as Sandybridge TBH.

>I also care about adaptive sync / GSync technology, which isn't supported by Intel Iris.

This demonstrates how much you know, and why people shouldn't listen to what you're saying. Which can be heard on any PC gaming forum a thousand times over. This is HN though and it won't fly.

Intel has already committed to FreeSync. It's incoming with KabyLake rumor is that it may be enabled for Skylake.

>Intel's IGP doesn't even come close to a $100 GPU, let alone the midrange GPUs.

Wrong on its face. You just haven't cared to investigate recently.

>NOT on the desktop. Crystalwell is laptop-only, and 45W to boot.

Nope. The Crystalwell chips are going into NUCs from here on out. There's a 128MB L4 NUC coming in 2 1/2 weeks and a 256MB NUC coming in 12 months.

The fact you're talking about gaming and recommending an ES-2670 for that is just silly. That might be a good machine for compiling code. If that's your goal, it's still a bad idea when distcc can utterly embarrass that old power hungry chip.

For gaming, Broadwell already demonstrated what Crystalwell adds for gaming performance with a standalone GPU. And it's a game-changer, it's faster than the i7-6700K. Yes, it is. And it definitely mops up where it counts (99th percentile frame times) on SandyBridge too.

In 2 1/2 weeks you'll see Skylake with Crystalwell and Thunderbolt 3 absolutely delete any SandyBridge gaming rig you may have (even with an Intel 750, if you made the ridiculous decision to actually put one in SB). There might be more cost-effective ways to build a gaming rig, but if you're into saving money on hardware and gaming, buy a PS4.

I understand it's the prevailing thought among PC gaming kiddies, but holding your grip tighter on some old SandyBridge system won't change that in reality it's fallen pretty far behind in both overall platform performance and power efficiency.

This is creating an arbitrary line where the writer is saying (gestures here) "THIS is okay', but (gestures there) "THIS is not okay". But since comedy is all about surprise, misdirection, and transgression, all that the writer is saying is some kinds of transgression are allowed and some are "too serious" to be allowed.

But what if someone told a joke that made fun of rape victims that also caught people by surprise and made people laugh? Trying to create some arbitrary lines about what kind of comedy is permissible and what kind is forbidden just makes the forbidden stuff into more of a sacred cow. And humor is all about slaughtering sacred cows.
hmm -- surprising that the article doesn't talk about the role of surprise / novelty in humor. If there's a semantic metric for humor, it's that -- a surprising link between topics your brain normally separates.

in-group out-group also matters. second cousins shouldn't be cracking jokes at a funeral but immediate relatives are often under so much stress that they can laugh at almost anything.

>But it adds to this a pinch of glib frivolity and a dash of unembarrassed ignorance. Its rhetorical tics include a forced enthusiasm (a search on Twitter for the hashtag “#sciencedancing” speaks volumes) and a penchant for profanity. Here in Silicon Valley, one can scarcely go a day without seeing a t-shirt reading “Science: It works, b—es!” The hero of the recent popular movie The Martian boasts that he will “science the sh— out of” a situation. One of the largest groups on Facebook is titled “I f—ing love Science!” (a name which, combined with the group’s penchant for posting scarcely any actual scientific material but a lot of pictures of natural phenomena, has prompted more than one actual scientist of my acquaintance to mutter under her breath, “What you truly love is pictures”). Some of the Cult’s leaders like to play dress-up as scientists—Bill Nye and Neil deGrasse Tyson are two particularly prominent examples— but hardly any of them have contributed any research results of note. Rather, Cult leadership trends heavily in the direction of educators, popularizers, and journalists.

As much as I think the essay is great, this paragraph is a terrible ad-hominem argument for the existence of a "cult of science" or why it is dangerous. It doesn't matter if people wear xkcd shirts, Matt Damon uses profanity with "science", or if people like a facebook page. Laypeople having fun with "science" does not make a cult. A better argument would be to show how people cargo-cult science, and why it causes problems with science. The author fails to do both.

IFL is dangerous not because it is only pictures of scientific phenomena, but that bullshit is constantly posted on the page to be consumed by laypeople. The cult of science is dangerous because it has failed to teach people how to properly evaluate claims, and believe anything with the word "study" in it. Woo-pushers have appropriated the vocabulary of science indistinguishable to a layperson. Andrew Wakefield resurrected long dead pandemics by falsely publishing in the Lancet. This is what makes the cult of science dangerous, not the word "bitches".

Since the submitted URL (http://www.theaustralian.com.au/news/world/the-times/saudi-d...) is blocked, we've switched to this one for the time being. I tremble, because any Daily Mail article provokes a storm on HN, let alone one about 9-11. But the article appears to be substantive and to contain new information, and those are our criteria. So let's see what happens. If anyone finds a more substantive article we can change the URL again.
TLDR: some scientists are doing science by critiquing what some other scientists did, using statistics. The authors are a wee bit confused about the fact that science is needed to weed out the 'bad' science from the 'good' science.

The bay area has more than enough space too. It spreads over 100 kilometers south of San Francisco. It covers more than the surface area of NYC in total. The real issue is that the bay area refuses to grow. The population is only about 5 millions IIRC. The density is really low.

IMO, in order to accomodate more people, and deal with the insane rents, the bay area needs to start growing vertically. Every other urban area I've been to has towers, apartment complexes. Here everything is flat. Most apartment buildings are only two floors high, rarely more than three.

I won't get into the politics of all of this, but politics are the real problem. Many of the suburbanites around here want their suburbs to remain suburbs. The law of offer and demand should mean that apartment towers are getting built and rents go down as competition increase, but the regulations in place prevent this. Many swanky new condos are being built, but these are still flat buildings, not making efficient use of the available space.
What Do You Do as New CTO? Here Is a 90 Day Plan for a CTO in a New Job
I'd question just one of the author's statements: that the period of cheap capital has ended.

Perhaps this is true in the targeted market that Greylock focuses on. But in general, investors are flush with money and are still looking for interesting and attractive places to put it to work. From an investors point of view (I manage pension fund money), there are few good opportunities right now, which is not atypical of a late stage bull market.

Today you see lots of investors turning to private equity and private debt firms like Greylock because they feel they cannot squeeze much more out of the public markets. And when we (pension fund type investors) talk with private debt/equity managers like Greylock, they routinely tell us that they are having a difficult time finding good investments to make with our money. Too many managers and too much money chasing too few good ideas. In other words, capital is still cheap and widely available, at least from my perspective.

Awesome concept to integrate with big guys like Facebook or Instagram.
Right before this happened I was looking into getting a Golf SportsWagen Diesel TDI. When the news broke, the dealership I was working with stopped selling them. They tried to get me to buy a gas model instead. I asked them how much they were willing to work with me. They wouldn't even budge saying that the gas model wasn't affected, and that they didn't feel like the depreciation would be affected. Screw you VW!
Except you can disable all that on Android and use other services/apps. It's also debatable if Android gained that market share because of this alleged forcing of their apps/services. I bet people chose Android because of price (Apple being a pricey alternative), more free apps/sideloading ability and they actually wanted tighter integration with Google services (fucking surprise).

The MS situation was similar in case that no-one used Windows just to use Internet Explorer, but the difference is that MS made it very unclear to disable/remove IE, not to mention the pain with setting the default apps (which came with XP SP2).

It's just an EU money grab (am EU citizen and only use Chrome).

Quick update: downloaded just now and installed, no trouble. Thanks.
I feel similarly, but I'm still sympathetic to Mr. Fry's thoughts on the topic. I did find myself thinking "well, it doesn't have to be all or nothing, just look at Joey Hess (https://usesthis.com/interviews/joey.hess/) for a nice compromise." Even the Amish have telephones; they're just not in the house - think how many times you've been interrupted at dinner by a phone call and you begin to understand . . .
It's fairly easy to go through that kind of money depending on where you live. If you're living in SF or NY you could well be spending $4k-$5k on rent or a mortgage. Supporting a spouse and children is very expensive even before you consider college. Forget the $400 emergency in the article, kids, not uncommonly, need $10k of orthodontic work. I also find that busy professionals tend to eat out a lot more because they don't have time to shop and cook, which is another significant cost.
$250 per meal is certainly towards the higher end in most places, but my family of 3 does that, in total, almost every weekend. Figure $100 for dinner Friday night. Another $30 for breakfast Sat morning. Add in $50-$70 for lunch Sat and Sun and there you are.

We rarely eat out during the week, and we don't usually eat dinner out both Fri AND Sat nights, but the above is fairly typical for us. I don't think it is too atypical for our peers either.
Right, but take this in aggregate. Take it with divorce laws, employment quotas, commercials where the wife always puts the husband down, college graduation rates between men and women...

That is actually a very interesting topic. Why and when is perverted humor appropriate.

Slavoj Zizek like to talk about dirty jokes as a sort of a way to forge an in-group, or a way to let the guards down.

He mentions it here for example:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ri0qiAita4s

Jokes are a way to probe and see if the other party is sincere. One example he brings up is how there used to be racial jokes between ex-Yugoslavian countries. They would meet and tell jokes about themselves basically. However as soon as tensions started jokes stopped. So another way to think about, dirty jokes are a bit like a canary in a mine. If jokes are allowed, other party is laughs at jokes, everything is still ok, it means they don't harbor hidden hatred or resentment. As soon as jokes stop, beware. You could be back-stabbed.

Not advocating telling dirty jokes everywhere obviously, just present that particular take on that.

deployment + load times: obviously things aren't perfect, Julia is at version 0.4, after all ;) There are a lot of low hanging fruits for compile time and deployment, so I'm sure that the situation will look a lot different in a year or two.

I'm not sure why Julia itself should make it difficult to "do the right thing" when exceptions occur...

Real-time 3D rendering is a big area. Will we have virtual reality with ultra low latency in the next year? Definitely not! Can we have 3D CAD/scientific visualizations which hardly stutters? Definitely! Our library is already very smooth and we didn't even start optimizing yet. That's something that seems to be almost impossible in e.g Python (without just calling C for everything).

So while most of these arguments are currently spot on, I do think that there is nothing fundamentally wrong with Julia. And while the maturity is not there yet, you can already be very productive with Julia and build for the future.

You keep dodging the fact that this entire comment thread started from you massively overstating the results of a single study, taking it far past the credible scope of the study.

Either knowingly or unknowingly you're abusing both the study's findings and the scientific method as a whole.

We can talk hypotheticals or debate the relative merit of affirmative action, or discuss the flaws in specific studies (because let's face it perfection is hard in social science), but first we need to address why you feel the need to misrepresent the findings of studies. Did you not read the abstract you linked to?
The medical ingredients are identical. Everything else may or may not be. You might want children's medication in a given flavour, or the "fast acting" delivery mechanism that may not be available in the generic format.

Ug. I know exactly what you are saying, but at least some people also care about quality; however, in the race to the bottom it is very difficult for the customer to assess quality and for the supplier/manufacturer to maintain quality.

Sometimes I wonder if the relentless human intervention in every aspect of nature will create or leave only life that has a value to people, like cows and wheat, or that which can resist domination or destruction by humans, like HIV, treatment-resistant bacteria, and the unassailable cockroach.

Perhaps after a period of rapid upheaval, humanity develops the technology to capture and control those super powerful flora and fauna, and use them for our own devices.

Then we can finally become Pokemon trainers.
Not OP but I see it for many different types of items. Think bandages, ankle wraps, mouth wash, antacids, OTC pain relievers, etc.

You might say that antacids and OTC pain relievers are drugs, and that's fair. But there are other concerns besides the active ingredients. For example, I might prefer the taste of Tums to CVS brand. Or for a personally-true example, I used to find the CVS brand ibuprofen gelcaps to have a funny, sour smell that I didn't notice with Advil. (I don't notice that anymore.) Or my grandmother used to buy a specific brand of some contact lens cleaner (can't remember which), because she found the top much easier to open. The point is it's not always about the efficacy of the drug; sometimes it's about the overall experience.
Interesting. VW is offering TDI owners in the US a $500 Visa prepaid card, a $500 VW dealership card, and to receive, you don't need to release VW from any other claims or liability.

https://www.vwdieselinfo.com/updates/letter-to-2-0l-tdi-owne...

Set aside the VW dealership card, you'd still be getting $500 as an affected US owner. Seems odd that EU (which I find generally more consumer-friendly than the US) would be less generous. (I'm not doubting you; it just mismatches my normal expectations.)
I've noticed this issue too. Some people prefer to use a brand like Tylenol instead of the store brand acetaminophen. But the store will just not keep the Tylenol stocked to force you to by their brand.

They are both the same acetaminophen. However, I do notice that with some meds the store brand isn't an equal because they don't make the gel tabs I prefer (because it's more fast acting than the chalky white tabs), specifically talking OTC allergy meds

This is completely not pertinent to the actual content of the article, but I think there a slight error in the first paragraph of the article. Jsonb support was added as part of Postgres 9.4, at least according to http://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.4/static/release-9-4.html, right?

I ask because we're planning on using jsonb here soon, and we were hoping it would be available in the version of Postgres available in ubuntu 16.04.
The connectors in TAO catalog use RF to make that impossible without unusual spectrum analyzers. I did that, too. Another trick is covert channels to make it invisible in network traffic. Covert channel analysis is mandated in high assurance specs but almost nobody does it.
