The only reason this is an issue during this election is that nobody would pay Sanders anything significant to speak.

A former POTUS and the woman who has come closest to the office in history? That's a draw. It's worth paying for.
>Not sure why it was flagged in the first place

Probably because it's a tinyurl. I'm surprised submitting it was even possible. I almost flagged it myself but I saw there were some comments.
It's because the parlament told them to. Divesting in coal is a political move stemming from environmental concerns. At least officially, I think some parties supported the move because Norway doesn't export that much coal, and this could potentially increase gass and oil revenue.
> but it by no means marks the bottom

If you know with any degree of certainty at all which way an asset will move, you stand to make a gigantic amount of money. Everybody you have ever heard telling you which way an asset is moving is guessing just as much as people who tell you it's going to move the other way.

Of course they can criticize you for selling illegal drugs in the same way you can criticize Norway for getting rich off oil. He's saying that praising that person for doing something like giving money to charity or anti-drug efforts isn't completely inconsistent.

I disagree that it can't be hypocritical. If Norway was doing this for environmental reasons I think it'd be quite hypocritical. That doesn't mean it's not a good thing to do though.

If they are projecting sonar images at each other, this would be much easier for us to determine than if they are using serial, syntactical language, right?

They may not be projecting shapes of actual objects, but if they are projecting shapes at all, it would probably be easy to record and reconstruct them visually for us to see, no?

I'm thinking if they so use 3-D sonar communication, they probably have a vocabulary of geometric symbols.

For instance, with our vocal apparatus, we can imitate sounds like "bark bark" or "buzz", but instead we say "dog" and "bee". This allows us to talk about things that don't make sound, including abstract ideas.

Perhaps they have 3-D geometric symbols, analogous to our words. Instead of imitating the sonar reflection of a school of fish, they might just have a shape that means "school of fish".

You must be confusing these speeches with concerts. The groups who pay for these speeches are not selling tickets to them and pocketing the difference.

It's really not clear to me that there's a trade-off between bird impact prevention and drone prevention (or anything else you mention) for two reasons.

First, effort allocation isn't really a compelling explanation -- most of the world just doesn't work in those types of zero-sum terms. Drones are sexy; just because government or industry is willing to fund research and development on safe drone-airplane regulations now doesn't mean it's willing to allocate those same resources to something else.

Second, even when resource allocation is strictly zero-sum, the sorts of calculations you suggest are mostly a matter of qualitative speculation about the future. Which means you're mostly just going through a number crunching process that "confirms" your prior beliefs.

> Julia's potential ability to run on mobile, front end web,...

Julia is designed for interactive, exploratory scientific programming, like Matlab and R. I don't see any reason someone would want to do that on a phone or in a web browser when it already runs natively on a PC. Then there's the matter of Julia being designed to interface efficiently with optimized native C/Fortran libraries.

Kate Couric got $110,000 for a speech and she's a newscaster/anchor. I think you need to look at the broader market for paid speeches before you throw out such accusations.

The Clintons were not born with silver spoons in their mouth, and they grew from modest origins to where they are today. I don't hold it against them that they're able to command such high speaking fees anymore than some musicians can command high prices for concerts, or actors can command high salaries for movie parts.

The whole campaign to argue Hillary is corrupt hasn't really worked, and that's essentially what these kinds of articles are, an extension of the Sanders campaign argument. But her voting record is among the most liberal in Congress, more than her husband, more than Obama, it's more liberal than 82% of all congressional votes. (Susan Sarandon was on Bill Maher the other day and simply didn't want to hear the facts he raised about her voting record.)

Clinton has a penchant for policy wonkishness that doesn't sit well with young impatient progressives who want to make a quantum leap from here to there. So for example, if one is for a $12 minimum wage first, instead of forcing the entire nation to $15 instantly, because one is worried about the effect of a 200% increase to say, Bob's coffee-shop in Nebraska, one get's raked over the coals. Why is it so hard to understand there's a huge cost of living difference in SF/NYC vs other states and a federal minimum wage quantum jump like that should be done cautiously?

If one is for fracking as a temporary bridge, because natural gas is cleaner than coal and releases less CO2 if your regulate methane leakage and protect ground water, as well as sending less money to regimes which spread Wahhabism with the money, then of course, you're really just a neo-liberal owned by the Kochs. But is it realistic to ban fracking and coal and switch totally to renewables without a transition? You can't just be against something without a viable alternative.

I agree with pretty much everything Sanders wants to do, but I want a realistic vision of how to accomplish it and a reasonable time span. I don't like the way anyone who wants to advocate an iterative, incremental approach is shouted down as an establishment sell out. There's too much guilt-by-association going on, and not enough realistic discussion of the nuanced policy choices we face.

So maybe what we need are high schools where students start by learning how to devise a project and work on it. This stage will give students the skill set to do their own project while introducing them to a wide variety of concepts. In stage two, students write the question they want to answer and form a study group to work with. Stage three is completing the project and stage four is some form of publication.
Lazy is a win for two reasons. The article talks about the first win: the code can skip evaluating items that are never reached. The more important win IMHO is in time-important areas such as UI/UX and heuristics.

For example with UI/UX and lazy loading, you can use lazy initialization to get your UI/UX on the screen faster for the user, by deferring a bunch of content initialization to after the UI/UX.

For example with heuristics and lazy calculations, you can use techniques such as successive approximations, caching of recent similar results, eventual consistency, and partial filling, so you can provide decent information to the user.

The purpose it was made for has become irrelevant. Everybody got smart phones, so the SMS character limit became moot, as well as the need for a lightweight interface. Everybody got Facebook, which satisfies all the text based posts people make. Everybody also got instagram, which is a much better image platform than twitter could hope to be.

The exception to all this is Twitter bots (but not MS' Tay), which are probably the most entertaining, unique, and valuable accounts that could not be mirrored on another site with the same effectiveness.

I was curious about the downward trend in Twitter and Facebook at about the same time. I nknow it doesn't imply causation, but adding "Snowden" shows the downward trend for Twitter begins about the same time. It is hard to see for Facebook because it trends so highly, but its downward trend is around the same time.

Perhaps there is indeed hope that a generation of people are becoming more aware of their options with regards to privacy and anonymity online.

Or perhaps it can more accurately be attributed to a switch to Snapchat or other social media providers.

A side note on Google Trends: you can't use Google Trends as statistical evidence that a startup is doing better than another because there are hundreds of different reasons why people might Google a startup, and some might be more biased than others. (e.g. Googling "what the heck is Reddit" which might be less likely to happen for Facebook, yet is not fully indicative of business success/failure).

It's still fun for making silly correlations, though.

I think the bankers hope for some more direct benefits but I really don't know. It certainly would be interesting to find out if they pay the same money for other celebrities. One theory could be that by paying lots of money to former politicians they send a signal to active politicians that there is a lot of money to be made later if they play nice now. This seems to work for a lot of regulatory agencies where people switch to highly paid jobs in industry later (see SEC for example or Eric Holder could be an example too).

It sort of spins out of bigger companies who tend to have a policy of "no more than 4 CO's in the same plane". It stems from when COs would all pile in to the same chartered plane because it was cheaper to do that and be flexible with time than to have them all drop what they're doing to sit on a commercial flight.

My company has the same policy for high enough management, but these days they all just travel solo on commercial flights anyway. It seems like it was different 20 years ago.

edit: I think they also maintain a car policy too, but I can't recall for certain.
Tumblr got to where Twitter wanted to be before Twitter did. By the Twitter figured it out they've been on the decline since. But Tumblr is a really bad buy.

Tumblr has three phases, the gen Y (25-35 yo) has already cycled out and the gen Z (15-25 yo) are on it because it's not Twitter and not Facebook. It will decline just like Myspace boomed then declined.

Drop Instagram and WhatsApp in there and they're the best buys.

What's more interesting is how Reddit came to be the new Craigslist for both gen Y and gen Z.

Oh, try putting in Snapchat. Since Snapchat only has dark content they're not shown to be any bigger than Reddit although I peg them at maybe half the growth rate of Instagram.

Wait it out another two product cycles and they'll sharing clear content, then maybe we can finally see if the Facebook vs Snapchat duel is really real.

The article is talking about lazy evaluation, not lazy programmers. And thus it's not talking about impatience or hubris either, because it's not talking about that quote at all, just using it because it contains the word 'lazy' in a programming context.

Lazy evaluation is probably better named "deferred evaluation", and is more analogous to procrastination, not laziness.

There's no futures symbol because coal is inherently worth different values based on location.
