I'm only shocked that this is the first time you'd heard of adversarial delaying. When that fails, sometimes PIs will call up their editorially inclined pals and suggest a "bundle" issue to sneak in their lab's work. There are many ways to avoid ceding priority for discovery.

If preprint deposition is the default, this all goes away. The people who lose from such a shift are editors of major journals, publishers of journals, and senior PIs who know how to rig the game. A cynical mind might propose that these are the major forces resisting such a shift.

I think this question inverts the causality. The slimeballs are playing a meta strategy, developing the traits that engender trust etc in the majority of people.

It doesn't matter that a few see through this (and gradually develop a strong aversion to them), as long as the majority continues to be tricked. It's an evolutionary game - if the majority start to get wise, the slimeballs up their game, change messages (/faces), or in the worst case back off slightly.

Therefore it's not a matter of trying to keep "these people" out of positions of power, but reducing the centralization of power that inherently attracts and enables metagamers.
Jeff wrote about Pascal quite a bit in his columns, as well as some books. He wrote about anything he found interesting, but Pascal was his weapon of choice for most things so he covered it pretty well over the years.
> There are probably less than 20 YC companies that have reached the point where this advice is valid. Zenefits, Airbnb, Dropbox, Stripe etc.

This advice is useful to basically every startup that has raised an A round, or is >= 10 people. That list is significantly larger than 20.

Management and HR problems start significantly earlier than Stripe size (200? 300?). They start at around 10 people, and this article matches my own experiences with useful advice to founders.

> most should not follow the advice in the post, even if they have scaled.

Which part, precisely is flawed? Frequent, clear communication and proper delegation are almost so true as to be tautological. Most founders don't go wrong because they don't agree that these are valuable, they go wrong by forgetting to do them.

for a non-medical implant like this, though, you probably wouldn't be able to get official documentation. I'd hope that sense would prevail and it wouldn't be an issue, but good sense doesn't always govern airport security procedures, particularly in the US.
I just checked. Help shows documentation on FreePascal and what the different options are for Lazarus as an IDE, but I don't see any more documentation on how the GUI system works, which is supposed to be what makes this system so special in the first place.

Imagine if you were deaf: "I've been able to get rather similar perceptions just through regular living…walking on the street and feeling a subway train below the ground. I've felt the vibration of the grinding tracks…seen sparks or electric bolts when subway cars temporarily lose power…why would I grow so tired and bored of the senses that I have, that I would want to hear?"

Asimov, back in 1939, wrote a great short story that has stuck with me ever since I read it for the first time: The Secret Sense[1]. It tells the story of Martians, who are mocked and pitied by Earthlings for their terrible sense of sight and hearing, such that they have no appreciation for our great art, our paintings, our music. I won't give away any more of the plot, suffice to say I recommend you find yourself a copy to read, and hope it brings you the wonder and reflectiveness the story brought to me when I was a boy.

My point was that conversationally, "the middle of the night" gets the point across that you got up early. It wouldn't even matter if the sun were up, it would still get the point across fine.

There is a pretty big difference between these two cases.

In C, calls to malloc() are explicit. You implement malloc() in C by not calling malloc().

In GC'd languages, the language runtime calls the garbage collector implicitly. So you need some more clever way of ensuring that these implicit calls do not occur. You also need to ensure that no garbage is created that will leak without a GC.

Long distance telephony is a poor analogy-- the high cost in the U.S. was due to regulated market structure (govt policy enforced a monopoly), not the underlying tech. Once the courts opened the door to competition by breaking up Ma Bell and MCI v. ATT , costs collapsed.
If that's your concern, run searches through a Tor browser and Tor connection.

The default Tor browser is stripped of identifying information. The Tor conection means your traffic is bundled with many, many others users.

The downside I've found, for Google search, is that Google subjects all, or at least all I've run, Tor search requests to a CAPTCHA request. Torbot and Torfox on Android get stuck on this, and it's consequently impossible to run Google Web search over Tor on Android.

So I use DDG, which is my default search anyway. DDG doesn't track users or history.

Every time you use the word "should" you beg the question.

Why, exactly, are incentives aligned to make it so? Or is the problem that the incentives are not in fact set up to encourage the desired outcome?

Anything else is wishful thinking. People seldom do what they know to be right; they do what is convenient, then repent. It follows that one must make the right thing the convenient or rewarding thing if one wishes to see humans doing it.

By and large, people are somewhat predictable. This can be used for good as well as the more familiar evil uses.

So this probably just shows my ignorance, but I was under the impression that modern browsers isolated running js to running on a single processor? The only part of the article to touch on this was the part talking about the operating system possibly running on another core. It seems like the elephant in the room.

Is it just not true any more that browsers isolate js to a single thread?

To be fair, MediaDevices.getUserMedia() is still highly experimental and only in the Editor's Draft stage. Chrome didn't support it until December.

It's definitely not ready for primetime/production use yet.

I actually think the games/virtual environments that avoid attempting to recreate reality will be more immersive initially. Being in a cartoon world would probably avoid distractions about something not looking "realistic" because as long as it seems consistent to the world you're in, I'm guessing it'd be very immersive. If I'm in a Toy Story world (or watching the movie), I'm not really bothered that the physics of how a character moves doesn't seem to match any reasonable muscle structure because I have no expectation that it should.
Yes it is. All humans now living are AMH so apart from being meaningless in the context of talking about the genetic history of the human population, it does not describe anything about the non-neanderthal populations. A much better term would be ancient African humans or even just African humans.

> Russia tried to do what China does (one TZ) but it is pretty hard -- people like to be awake when the sun is up.

People can easily be awake when the sun is up by changing their schedule. I've never been to China, but I guess in Ürümqi (today's sunrise: 6:35, sunset: 21:54) and Beijing (4:53-19:46) they adapt their schedule to the daylight hours.

This looks very cool, but the 5 minute build time limit (an inherent limitation of the Lambda service) makes this less than ideal for a build system. The author does address this by recommending that you use Docker containers on ECS as an alternative for long running builds.

> As long as humans live in more than one part of the world, solar time is always going to be subjective. Abolishing time zones only exacerbates this problem.

Time zones are a great example of complexity intrinsic to the problem. You can't get rid of such complexity, just move it around (or alternatively make your solution less useful).

Getting rid of time zones does simplify time calculations for a computer. But it increases complexity elsewhere and makes computers less useful.
With enough children you can. It's an imperfect analogy since in genetics there are two parents, but if there are 4 or 5 children, then you can make inferences as to the probably hair color of a parent.

No it's not, that vulnerability is a WebKit vulnerability, AFAIK fixed in WebKit. The browser has nice features for controlling script, cookie, plugin use and data exposed to servers, that is what I refer to as "security". I don't know if it's still affected by that bug or not.
Okay, they're getting the same treatment as pigeons. By that logic you could also say they're getting the same treatment as all other humans, since the spikes do not distinguish between homeless and non-homeless people in performing their task.

It's also worth differentiating public and private uses of these methods (for instance, city-funded public spaces vs. private areas where sleeping should obviously not be allowed, like in the photo you linked). I can't blame an establishment for treating the symptom rather than solving the larger problem.
It doesn't. To me, "middle of the night" means midnight to one am. If you meant like 3 am to catch a red eye flight, then I've misunderstood you.

You don't consider the journal? You're a better man (or woman) than I am, if so. Otherwise agreed, reluctantly. This implicit trust is frequently manipulated to relax standards by experienced PIs, and in biomedical work that is a source of numerous problems.

In an ideal world, work from an unknown author would receive the same scrutiny as that from an established lab, and vice versa. Obviously this isn't the case, but the further we drift from it, the more likely we become to see sloppy results wasting everyone's time.

It can't just be about the narrative. That simply isn't science. That's storytelling, and confusing the two has caused a great deal of harm to science in the public eye.

I'm going to guess that a good portion of the depressed people reportedly unemployed, would list their reason as "Broke".

Might explain why there are double the numbers of depressed people in the unemployed vs the employed. Not so much a lack of purpose, but a lack of money.

Money might not buy happiness, but its a lot easier to be happy with money than it is without it.
This is what I have found to be true as well but it seems to vary from person to person.

If I eat lots of meat and fruits and veggies I tend to crave snacks less. This ends up meaning less total calorie intake.

The other one to avoid is the booze.

It's not necessary to run trackers on everyone, all the time.

Sampling works. Randomly selecting accounts for inclusion and immediately dissociating that account identity from the data would provide substantively useful data.

Much the same way as it is possible, on the basis of 100 - 300 randomly selected G+ profiles to gain a strong sense of what the level of public activity of all 2.2 billion profiles (in use as of early 2015) was.

Sure, you can increase accuracy, somewhat, by bumping up that sampling count to 50,000 profiles. As I did. Though that (and monte-carlo resampling of subsets of the profiles) substantiated the trends which were clear from the first 100 or so results. Or you can bump up the value to 500,000, as Stone Temple Consulting did. Which again, largely re-substantiated the results I'd found.

Google receives something on the order of one billion searches per day. Sampling a very small percentage of those would provide very accurate results, at far smaller processing cost, and moreover, at far smaller data disclosure risk.

Data are liability.

Even if the concern were, say, edge cases regarding specific terms and the like, that would be possible to explore with targeted random sampling (stratified random samples). All very-well-established statistical techniques.

I'm watching developments with light field displays for this with interest.

That said, you don't really notice this effect, or much else, once you're immersed in something. I've hundreds of hours in the vive and I still punch walls, the ceiling, lean on objects that don't exist.

The point is that regardless of the various things that would make it better (4k light field displays, bigger fov, higher refresh, blacker blacks, etc etc) the tech is good enough today - the fact that one is able to surrogate away from "I am stood in my living room wearing some silly goggles" to "I am stood in the snow atop a peak watching the sun set, I should get inside or I'll get cold" is the litmus test. Literally everyone I've jammed in it, young and old, has lost themselves in it.
This, if you haven't tried the HTC Vive (or the Oculus with the Touch controllers, but mostly the Vive), then you haven't tried VR.

There is no doubt in my mind this is no gimmick, it's the next step.

Learn Pascal on an Osborne-1. First project was a device driver - a classroom project no less! Having coded in lots of languages since then, I like Pascal for its structure, its rigour, and uncomplicated binaries and installation. I dont mind if IDE setup is hard as long as anything i build is easily shared with others. Was easier and faster to get Lazarus working on my Mac than Visual Studio 2015 on my Windows (T440p) laptop! FPK/Delphi hands down winner - the only thing easier to share is probably DOS batch scripts.

Recently look at some Go code and thought it looked like simplified pascal. LOL. Agree with the other posters that pascal wasnt ever 'cool' because when it was being used for cool-stuff like writing MacOS it wasnt widely publicised, and unfortunately it was used as a learning language (and lets face it not many of us remember school as being uber-cool!).

There are precious few languages that can be used for learning and for getting real work done - but if you look at those, they have been around for a long time: Fortran, COBOL, C, Pascal, Lisp.

On another note i look at the code, and platforms, and I think that Pascal has an opportunity to be used in IoT applications. Small footprint objects are well suited to constrained environments like my own projects (Arduino, Pi, CHiP, Xbee) where one also needs a compiler that helps to keep the world safe from my bad code (like strict types and pointer bounds!).

The folks working on FPK and with Lazarus have done a superb job. Great tools, amazing cross platform support, and delivering stuff that helps get things done.
