"Yet none of this one-way flow of time is apparent when you look at the fundamental laws of physics: the laws, say, that describe how atoms bounce off each other. Those laws of motion make no distinction about the direction of time."

I'm not certain precisely what laws we're talking about, but I'm having a reaction that this argument may be specious due to the fact that the known fundamental laws of physics are human constructions, not the entirety of all that is possible. Most of the physical laws I know were specifically designed to factor out time; conservation of mass & energy equate state before and after an event, and prove nothing else. This article seems to be suggesting that the known "laws" of physics do encompass everything possible and thus the lack of a law proving the existence of time somehow proves that time doesn't exist (or is bi-directional).
This seems wrong. The planets atmosphere should affect the coloring of the Suns hue. Size is only 1 variable...

Or in the case of your simple query, you may also create and use a view or a user defined table valued function, in addition to a CTE. SQL Server also supports table variables in T-SQL, some other dbs may as well.
Oh, excellent! Very cool, thank you.
Really not an issue with second cousins. Second cousins are genetically different enough that issues with the children are just barely more common in non-related couples.
> You got all of this from that same article

We're discussing previous articles about this company.

> No one bats an eyelid when a company hires a new unicorn, 10x developer. It's equally possible that raising the salary also allowed them to hire 10x employees and the old hires were feeling threatened so left.

That's not what happened here. No "10x developer" was hired. It was literally just a huge pay raise for the newest employees, and shafting the ones that had been there for years.

It turned from a merit-based system into one that valued everyone equally - and while this sounds great on the surface, not everyone contributes equally. Those that built the platform really felt like they got the short end of the stick. New hires, who put in none of the effort to get the startup up and running, had none of the knowledge nor domain expertise, suddenly were earning as much as the most senior engineers.

Not to mention the entire thing reeked at the time as one big PR stunt, since it didn't "just happen" one day, but rather the media was notified and it turned into a big fuss. It seems the stench had some credence given this lawsuit.

> We work with data, if I don't feel I'm compensated fairly I write a letter complete with numbers saying what my renumeration should be. And forward that to the manager and HR

This statement seems like hyperbole to me. I imagine few managers respond well to threats or begging via email about salary. Nevermind pointing to what other people get in a market for compensation is a terrible way to value yourself. You should start these discussions with how much value you bring to the table, not what others at other companies may or may not bring to theirs.
Agreed, they likely will. I probably wasn't clear, I wasn't making a claim about the danger to the average person, only to the danger for an average person given they have an interaction with the police vs the danger to the average police officer given an interaction w/ a person.

Odds of dying per year would still need a probability of a police encounter to multiply against. i.e. P(K | E) * P(E). For police this would just be P(E) = 1.
It was expensive because minimized discrete hardware (not soon enough for any kind of real integration) was still expensive. Even the successor 2901-based D-machines were expensive in absolute terms. By the time Alto-level functionality was relatively cheap to implement, the software requirements had grown well beyond. Hence PARC moving eventually to the likes of ECL for research platform development.

> It's clearly against the Constitution and common sense...

It's against the Constitution to stop people who fit the description of someone who just committed a major crime? I'd like to see you cite a paragraph of the Constitution that supports your position.

It's against common sense? I'd like to see you support that assertion as well.

> Tell me some more about what I think!

In your posts, you gave evidence that you seemed to think that using force to stop suspects was not warranted. I gave reasons why I thought sometimes it was, and therefore that your view was too simplistic - too black and white. You grudgingly acknowledged my counterexample, but got offended that I claimed your view was too black and white. You seem to think I'm ascribing to you views that you don't actually hold. But I'm not trying to read your mind. I'm just reading your words. If I'm misreading them, clarifying might be a more useful approach...
Totally true. Spelling is about respect for the reader, it is not about using fancy words or merely conveying a message or being brainy. Some people just do not like lousy spelling without having a deep reason for why, however, spelling says a lot about ones attitude towards others.
Remember, they don't actually know if you're qualified to work there or not. Interviewing is hardly a science. There's a lot of intuition and "gut feel" involved. Being reject could mean anything from "you actually are unqualified" to "the interviewer's dog got run over by a car this morning" or anything in between. More likely it means something closer to "these people don't actually know how to evaluate me to see if I'm qualified for their job or not, and the outcome of this process is closer to random chance than anything else.

IOW, don't let it get you down. If you feel the need, continue studying, working hard, learning new stuff, etc. as that can only help you in general. But there's no need to feel like a loser.

If you like this kind of discourse, check out what the medieval Indians have to say about aesthetics from the View of non-dual Shaiva Tantra, and the concept of "rasa" (aesthetic sentiment).

A good book to start with this is Tantra Illuminated, by Christopher Wallis. It only spends a short bit explaining rasa from the tantric perspective, but it very much comes from a similar stream of ideas as, "Aesthetic vision apprehends the universe as an immanent field of living forces. All of reality is ensouled, willful, alive. Small wonder, then, that works of art present the world as innately sentient."
> Sure, there is probably a shortage of Bay Area engineers if you're paying $70K, but I bet there is no shortage if you're paying $400K.

Just to reiterate this, I know many people who would become developers if they could make $400k. These are smart people with strong technical skills.

The genetic similarity here is estimated within the cohort; the Framingham cohort is by design ethnically homongeous to try to eliminate that sort of population structure confound. This way, the homophily is not picking up on the obvious stuff like ethnic groups. If they studied people from multiple ethnic groups, the results would be trivial and uninteresting. (This is why astazangasta's criticism in another comment is so amusing - this is meaningful because the sample is so 'biased'. This also holds for all the other studies done on Framingham.) But because only one highly homogeneous sample is studied, the chance genetic similarities of friends aren't due to just similar ethnic backgrounds, but are being caused by the genetic influence on things like SES and personality and intelligence and religiosity and hobbies and things like that. These similarities would probably also hold when considering a more unusual and cosmopolitan group, but it would be difficult to spot the increased similarity on a genome-wide basis because of all the racial differences in genomes (most of which would be nonfunctional and irrelevant to anything).

I knew a lot of people who owned a Dreamcast and no games.

No modchip required, no soldering, broadband penetration on the rise, filesharing was now a thing.

I completely understand the Saturn's botched launch and limited number of retail outlets, but the Dreamcast had the best launch of all time up to that point and broke sales records.

I'm not convinced piracy is not in fact the cause of the Dreamcast's demise.

I really did love the Dreamcast, built in modem and the second-screen VMU.

If you don't think piracy killed it, what do you think killed it? The PS2?
Yep. That's the kind of thing you look up at a young age when you discover you're the recent product of second cousins. Some interesting quotes from the "Cousin Marriage" Wikipedia article:

"According to Professor Robin Fox of Rutgers University, it is likely that 80% of all marriages in history may have been between second cousins or closer."

"Worldwide, more than 10% of marriages is between first and second cousins."

"In some countries it is seen as incestuous and is legally prohibited: it is banned in China and Taiwan, the majority of U.S. states, North Korea and South Korea."

The main thing to notice is that on Skylake the "two macro two micro" is fastest and executes at 1 cycle per iteration, while on Haswell is it slower than than a couple options with less fusion. I don't think there is anything that surprising here, but it does point out some not very clearly documented differences between Haswell and Skylake.

BR_INST_RETIRED_NEAR_TAKEN is to show the number of loop iterations. Run time in cycles is shown by CPU_CLK_UNHALTED_CORE. The difference between INSTR_RETIRED_ANY and UOPS_RETIRED_ALL shows the effect of macro-fusion of CMP/JCC. The difference between UOPS_ISSUED_ANY and UOPS_EXECUTED_CORE shows the effect of micro-fusion of LOAD/ADD. UOPS_EXECUTED_CORE and UOPS_RETIRED_CORE are the same on both machines, showing that there is no branch misprediction occurring.

> Niantic was founded by engineers from Google. It seems a bit ridiculous that with all the expertise and funding they have, they couldn't even provide a stable backend architecture. It's not that difficult to scale an api using Google's app engine or aws.

That's like saying "they have Google engineers, therefore they must have Google funding and they should be able to smart things out." AFAIK, Ingress was built on app engine, and had huge scaling issues.

> The app could at least cache some of the info of your pokemon as well as the locations of nearby stops and gyms. Then only the status of those gyms and nearby pokemon would need to be synchronized when you reopen it.

It's not clear how much faster that would be. The majority of the RPC time is probably due to network latency issues, not the amount of data being fetched. That said, without slapping a profiler on it, you can't tell either way.
The data will have to be persisted eventually once the order is finished, keeping that data on process memory would be incredibly irresponsible. And by all means if you ever do an ecommerce app please use an external database. You will want to do all kind of things with the data outside of the usage of the application, like running reports , etc.
Intel has already solved all this and is about to release a camera that does it (see my sister comment for details). It is still a brilliant idea even if it is not original :)

In my childhood home we had a radio with a "weather" button that, when pressed, would turn the radio on and tune it to one of the standard NOAA frequencies for a set amount of time (probably about a minute or so). It was astonishingly useful, on par with the Amazon Echo I have today and use for a similar purpose, but with probably six orders of magnitude fewer transistors involved. Simple, but effective.

"So if we hooked up two people’s brains together in year 2050, would they feel like a single person?...We won’t know until we actually try it. If the answer is no then the rest of this blog post is completely irrelevant..." My guess is that if this were done to people who, up to that point, had lived independent lives (i.e. not born conjoined at the brain), they would each feel like individuals who had suffered some sort of major stroke, rather than that they had become a single person.

With regard to the cloning phase of your argument, is this not effectively the same as what the many worlds interpretation of quantum mechanics says happens all the time? FWIW, while I don't feel as if those other versions of me are me (assuming many-worlds is true), I realize that I am in no position to assert that I am the 'real' me, and in fact that it is beside the point to ask which one is.

Treat every interview as a learning experience for the next.

One thing you can do when you start looking for jobs is to accept interviews for roles you are interested in but wouldn't feel terrible turning down. This will give you some experience before you interview for the roles you deeply want. Interviewing is a skill, one that I've found needs to be relearned for every job search.
Look, the Ender series deserves the accolades it has received. Ender's Game remains my favorite sci-fi book of all time. But not all his writings are so great.

Best to have a remote machine on a good network, that you ssh to for anything that needs high bandwidth. Use tmux or screen (also helpful if you get disconnected unexpectedly). Then you only need enough bandwidth to draw the screen updates.

These companies have a very high rate of false negatives and are often happy to have people reapply next year. Apply to more companies and get as many rejections as you can!

You're still paying separately for the fuel. Perhaps I'm misunderstanding your comment.
I'd suggest that an even cheaper solution for them in the long run, instead of raising the pay they offer, is to figure out ways to cause less "false rejection" scenarios. I totally understand the desire to avoid "false positive/hire" scenarios. But currently our field also has a big problem with false rejections.

This would have the added bonus of increasing your usable talent pool both among residents/citizens as well as among remote/off-shore/foreign candidates.
