You need to think bigger than the earnings tax (or any any particular difference between the City and the County). That's too narrow a lens through which to see what's really going on.

St. Louis as a region has a problem with the sort of divisions that allowed you to avoid the earnings tax by locating outside of city limits that were myopically drawn in 1876.

(But, if I must comment on the earnings tax -- and I really can't help myself -- I'll simply say that a 1% tax is not enough to dissuade a professional earning a professional's income from living where they truly want to live or working where they truly want to work. To the extent that a 1% tax actually is a deal-breaker, it's a symptom of a much larger disease.)

I think the reason plainly is that they are not competitive, perhaps because their advantages aren't important enough disadvantages for horizontal axis turbines.

Wikipedia has a short section:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vertical_axis_wind_turbine#Dis...

I think people tend to forget that the big wind turbine manufacturers today started out small, experimenting with various designs before they settled on the three-bladed model. At the moment there's a lot of accumulated research and infrastructure present that allows them to erect giant 3-6-8 MW turbines that can take the hammering of the weather for > 20 years. Competing against this is really, really hard, you really have to a big advantage in your favor and perhaps also decades of research and development.

You would likely need to do one of every N iterations as a real-world test, and significantly increase the reward for winning a real-world test over a simulated-world test, such that the winners and close runners-up of the real-world tests effectively earn immunity from complete elimination until after the next real-world test round.

Additive volume-printer or subtractive CNC machinery would almost be required to make the physical test models.

I'm presuming that means I'd need a GNUnet-aware browser? AFAIK, a normal browser doesn't send enough context when resolving names for the resolver to figure out that someone means www.foo.jonathonw.gnu if they pass it www.foo.+ and have been browsing www.jonathonw.gnu.
I have no idea why per capita estimates are relevant at all in this context. Wind turbines are vastly larger than cats and serve an entirely different purpose.

The point is birds are not going to go extinct even if we increase the number of turbines ten fold. It wouldn't even make a dent in the bird death rate, which cats are only a small part of.
You're not alone; I definitely see this pattern and it's quite frightening. It's not just juvenile, which has existed for a while, it's infantile. And that's new and it's worrisome.

It costs a lot of money to give away rides to millions of people. They're trying to keep the market unprofitable in the hopes that competitors like Uber think the price of subsidization is too high. They want to buy liquidity and make it too expensive to compete.

Once they have liquidity and no competitors it will be almost impossible for a competitor to come in. Customers want the quickest ride. At scale, didi could provide a car in less than 5 minutes for most places. Competitors would have trouble gaining traction (even if they gave away free rides) if they can't get a car to riders in less than 20 minutes. So their strategy is to buy market share now to get to liquidity and to keep the burn going long enough that they're the only ones left standing. Then they dial back the incentives and have a large and hopefully profitable business without any competitors.

16% is a shockingly low number. That means less than 8.001% of the population decide the range of opinions allowed in the presidential office. By the time the general election is over, the winner will be bound to a platform fundamentally agreed on by 4% of voters at best.

Jvion | Atlanta, GA | Relocation | ONSITE

At Jvion we use machine learning and data science to help improve patient outcomes. We have our solution live in several hospital systems, and help hospitals identify patients who'll have bad outcomes. We help hospitals intervene early - and help patients avoid suffering. We recently closed a funding round, and are looking to expand aggressively.

We are looking for talented data engineers to join our team. We work with several data sources - from clinical data sources directly from hospitals, to public data sets, to socioeconomic datasets. Our data engineers help incorporate all this data into a single dataset that's used for modeling, and for real-time scoring of patients.
We're looking for someone who's independent and curious, and has strong SQL skills. Knowledge of healthcare is a plus, but not necessary. We use Amazon Web Services for our entire stack, so prior experience with that would also be a plus.

Sorry, i haven't looked at the website yet, so what I may be asking might be pretty vague and far from reality.

Is the bots api available over http (get/post/whatever)? If no, will it be possible to have one? It will allow a whole lot of programming languages to be used. Just authenticate your bot using some token generated by the website, and then run the bot on your own pc or some server. It will allow us to play with the website with our favourite programming language even if you guys don't officialy support it.

For eg. currently my favourite programming language is Red. It is still in alpha, and is relatively unknown to people, so I don't think that there are any chances to get it supported on the website. But api over http would allow me to play with it as well.
Agreed on the cash flow point, although I don't have much sympathy for people who have come into ownership of expensive properties through inheritance, or obscene capital appreciation over the course of several decades.

The current state of “seed” investing
There seems to be a misconception here that this has something to do with best/average/worst case input. "f(x) is O(g(x))" is a purely mathematical statement about two functions, and means that f(x) is smaller than or equal to (K times) g(x) for all x beyond some threshold. I.e. O(g(x)) is a set of functions that includes f(x).

When we say "quicksort is O(g(n))" for some g we also need to specify, or assume, the distribution of the input (i.e. best/average/worst case), and we are free to assume whatever distribution we like. Then, assuming that distribution, the running time of the algorithm is just a function of the input size, and we can use the above definition to make a statement about that function (i.e. what complexity class it is in).

A complete statement looks like "quicksort is O(n^2) in the worst case", which means "for every n, pick the list of length n that takes the longest to sort (i.e. the worst-case input), and the number of steps executed by quicksort will be no more than Kn^2 as long as n is large enough, for some fixed K".

The difference between O, Theta and Omega only concerns what functions the set contains - in particular, Theta(g(x)) is a subset of O(g(x)). This is a separate issue to whether we are talking about best/average/worst case input.

Google Goals for a Week: I Meditated, Hydrated, Hibernated More Than I Ever Have
Other commenters are focusing on the validity of the sim as a scorer, but there's some other issues here.

Doesn't it seem to converge a little aggressively?

How do you feel about the potential bottlenecking pressures of a breeding pool of size... six?

The parameters of the genetic algorithm are so overwhelmingly ready put things permanently askew from random variations in early stages of the trial sequence that I'm not sure the sim really has a significant impact on the result at all. The author even seems to be aware of this, when he admits running it again does not generate similar results, and starting with a single piece of bias in the initial sample causes that result to dominate.

Genetic algorithms aren't something that can be thrown at a problem with zero attention to the parameters. Sorry, no algorithm is that magical.

Thanks for the reply.

People can certainly be compelled to do things they would not otherwise do by what people would ordinarily call hypnosis. The focus on harm brings MK ULTRA to mind. However, a more generic definition is widely documented in the medical literature, see e.g.

The Prefrontal Cortex and Suggestion: Hypnosis vs. Placebo Effects. <http://journal.frontiersin.org/article/10.3389/fpsyg.2016.00...

Self-harm may not be possible, as you say. Given the the nature of hypnotic suggestion, I speculate it is possible to suggest a separation of the physical self from the harm, and in that way trick someone into self harm. Particularly when combined with mind-altering drugs like LSD. But I've no evidence other than the reports linked.

The MK ULTRA report was read into evidence at Senate hearings because the truth of the report indicated abominable and deplorable practices. Nobody has, in spite of powerful incentives to do so, denied the truth of these reports. That ought to be a compelling indicator, IMHO.

Though I did not see an article discussing harm, dozens of articles on PubMed describe the effects of hypnosis (versus placebo).

I feel like your standard may be practically unattainable, meaning one must ask: What sort of evidence would convince you?
What I've thought for a while is: maybe we need to just deprecate what might be a bunch of arcane and no longer meaningful terminology.

It's a "round." Your company's metrics are X and you are seeking $N at pre-money $M. Maybe just number them: R1, R2, etc.

Or even better drop the whole concept of a 'round' in favor of something more high-resolution. But that would require a lot of re-engineering of legal frameworks, which is hard.

Hm. Birds multiply by X every year in the spring. Yet each fall we have about the same number of birds as last year. Brutal fact: the fate of almost all birds is to be eaten. If not by cats, then other creatures that live in the cat niche too. Remember domestic cats are a tiny fraction of the world population.

Did you factor in the increase in running time? If you can run at almost 90% of the time then you get a 4 fold increase in output as compared to the bigger turbines. So instead of 25 times as many, it's 5 times as many which isn't that bad.

That is going off the assumption that he'll get his optimal running time.
Thanks, I had not seen that before. Interesting trick: Call a "registration" function with a string array (of dependencies) and an anonymous function (IIFE) with parameters for each dependency which the registration function injects. Thus, the dependencies are accessed as closures over the outermost func's params, rather than as globals.

E.g. -

define( [ 'jQuery' ], function ( $ ) { ... return { ... } } )

where the 1st elipses are all the private/setup code, and the second elipses are whatever methods/properties the module exports. (this dummy only wants jQuery, but the list can be longer)

It wasn't just the note taking app. There was nearly a half-dozen mono-based applications included out of the box on Ubuntu in one brief "mono spring" in Ubuntu before the hate hit.

A particularly good example, I think, was the music app Banshee, which I thought was a much better application than what it replaced and what in turn replaced it in the Ubuntu default install.

Another example from that time was F-Spot, a photo library tool.

Apps built specifically for Mono, most of which were directly using Gnome's Gtk UI library (via the Gtk# bindings) were great apps. A lot of the hate really was just anti-Microsoft (and/or anti-Novell at the time) FUD. The fact that Mono had an on disk footprint about as much as Python was the useful tool in what was mostly (from my perspective) a useless debate.
I'm curious as to the effects of extending past the 40-49 hours in week one, on subsequent weeks.

That information I think would be more compelling to an employer (or self-employer), because without it, you're simply saying 'You'll get more out of overworking people, you just won't get as much more.'

Maybe if you only count intelligent enemies. Otherwise asteroids, gamma ray bursts and planetary dynamics are also dangerous. A second planet would let us recover from all of those. Except for maybe a gamma ray burst depending on how close the second planet was. Even if you limit the scope to ways we may kill ourselves: Nuclear war would likely be contained to a single planet. A second would at least improve our odds.

You'll get a blob that gets harder and harder to modify over time. For a throwaway system and / or with piles of money, it may work until the system needs replacing.

Different people working on similar vertical slices through the system leads to slightly different parallel implementations and probably some duplication of helper logic. Refactoring won't get scheduled and it'll become technical debt in the way all duplicated logic is: not a big deal to start with, but an increasing source of bugs and features fixed / implemented in one place but not another.

Inexperienced developers won't be disciplined in keeping their abstractions separate; they tend to intermingle their abstractions so that the boundary is fuzzy. Specifically, they lack layering discipline. Instead of libA using libB which uses libC, they'll pass bits of libA into libB and return bits of libC. When implementing a complex algorithm that joins libA to libB, they'll write code that zips the two together within its convolutions, rather than creating adapters for libA and libB so that the algorithm follows naturally. And they'll model the domain, but nothing much more abstract, and write convoluted procedural algorithms in VerbingClasses (new ThingDoer(x).doThing(y)), possibly with interfaces for mockability.

And to be frank, many line of business applications can cope with this. The developers are cheaper and easier to find, and IT was always a cost centre anyway. It's no way to live if you love code, though.
