These folks are always doing research on car safety features, presumably trying to reduce insurance premiums being paid out: http://www.iihs.org/ You'll hear IIHS ratings in car commercials alongside the government's safety ratings.

What's interesting to me is that your source and the NYT are saying opposite things (???)
My first guess would be that cars are simply safer than they've ever been. You're more likely to survive a crash.

Driving in the US is less safe because there's almost no barrier to getting a driver's license. Be at least 16 years old, pass a simple written test, a vision check, and a very basic road test, and you're good to go.
Because "generations" are mostly marketing bullshit that are constantly being adjusted to sell the latest newborn consumers youth products. As a GenXer, I always thought it was funny that GenX was defined down to the point that Douglas Coupland (b.1961), the guy who literally wrote the book, was too old to be a GenXer.

(The other aspect to this is that when I was young, almost everything I read about "Generation X" was a humungous load of bullshit. So I assume any article about "Millennials" has the same veracity.)

Essentially, I agree with you that technological revolution is what really matters. This business about media consumption identification, whether it was Brady Bunch or Super Mario Bros, doesn't really matter to anyone but the marketers.

The data behind their world wide browser stats is questionable. - their combined IE and Edge market share totals to only 8%.

On https://www.netmarketshare.com combined IE market share is 31% and Edge is 5%.
Works for whom? Definitely not the consumer. I am happy my friends and family are enjoying the reliability and customer support of Amazon. I wished flipkart upped their game, but apparently they did not. Amazon has a well of experience, even though the market is new, they know what parameters to look for and best of all, can wait for a decade before turning profit.

Actually, Intuit is one of those mega-companies that could run a successful hedge fund (or sell data/access to one), but has too much to lose in their core businesses to allow them to sell data.

The Mint data set might be worth, say, 8 figures a year, but if you risk a user revolt on Quickbooks, it's not worth it.

I wrote a C helper library that does poor-man's exceptions using setjmp/longjmp https://github.com/adrianratnapala/elm0.

Partly because of the malloc/free issue, you don't just "throw and forget" like with real exceptions. Instead you jump a short way up the stack, using it as an extra mechanism for error handling inside a module -- living side by side with error returns.

And I found myself using the mechanism quite a lot. To the point where writing a new error-returns based function gave me that itch where I felt this is mistake and I would end up refactoring to the TRY mechanism anyway.

Why not? It's useful to have a study at a higher level of abstraction with the tradeoff that it is less certain.

Should a physicist be making approximations? Probably not, but a biomedical researcher probably should.
Amazon has a lot of cash & experience to pamper customers but once it wins over, all that'll change. The best outcome for millions of customers is to have 1 or 2 strong competitors to Amazon that'll be around for a long time to come. Else you'll be stuck with Amazon's monopoly !
I like to hate on Big Web Frameworks as much as anyone, but it should be understood that their value isn't replacing your hand-rolled code, their value is to let big 20-person projects avoid having 20 different flavors of hand-rolled code.

Or we could just adopt good coding standards and build with reasonable software architecture. That's been working for longer than anything like the modern Web has existed, to build software orders of magnitude larger than any web app by any useful metric I can imagine, without the need to resort to huge frameworks to keep growing code bases organised and consistent.
From "Developing a Practical Forecasting Screener for Domestic Violence Incidents":

"We had data from the screening instrument for 671 households.
...
For the 516 households with complete data, there was at least one return
call for 109. Thus, about 21% had a return call within three months after
the screener information was collected. Although there is no guarantee that
all of these calls were for domestic violence incidents, no doubt most were."

Admittedly this is one paper, and not necessarily related to the system he created for parole prediction, but this would be a worryingly small dataset (and likely bad set of assumptions) for any data scientist, machine learning researcher, or machine learning practitioner.

As Francois Chollet noted on Twitter, it's very reminiscent of the random forest approach to launching drone strikes[2] that had insanely small amounts of data:

"The NSA evaluates the SKYNET program using a subset of 100,000 randomly selected people (identified by their MSIDN/MSI pairs of their mobile phones), and a a known group of seven terrorists. The NSA then trained the learning algorithm by feeding it six of the terrorists and tasking SKYNET to find the seventh."

It's legitimately absurd how easy it is to get a driver's license in the US. I got mine at 16.75 after doing a quick (as in, it took me <10 minutes) multiple choice "test" and a 20 minute drive around town.

No! That's EXACTLY the point - this is EXACTLY what it isn't - a deployment strategy.

Docker vs Ansible is a deployment strategy.

Relying on others to make your code run on a server is VERY different than doing it yourself. It's practically the difference between a company with a DevOps team and one without it.
How do you define "prime cardinal" without relying on the definition of prime numbers? "Prime" (as distinct from irreducible elements) doesn't have a clear meaning before you prove the Fundamental Theorem of Arithmetic, does it?
Instead of the 80-20 split at some tech cos, perhaps there should be a 70-20-10 split, of main project-side project-refactoring/cleanup. I would wager Google for example would be almost immeasurably better off with that approach.
As an X-er watching the millenials and the boomers lobbing grenades at each other, it amuses me that the millenial argument sounds like this: "Those greedy boomers have fucked up the world for everyone else with their overly lavish and unsustainable lifestyles... and they won't let us into their cushy club!"

Point of fact is that if you were to give the choice between today's 20-year-old lifestyle and the same in 1970, you'd be insane to choose 1970, especially if you were a minority or a woman. Sure, houses are cheaper in `70, but the jobs are much more menial, life is less comfortable, medicine is less advanced (particularly pain medication), social opportunities are much more stratified, entertainment is much harder to get, communication is considerably more limited, shopping times are much more limited, so on and so forth. Summing up the differences between now and then as merely "houses and uni costs" is basically just propaganda.

I kind of appreciate the fact that ISRO did a small experiment of sorts before building an actual mega failure.

Its more like a Lean Startup experiment where they are testing what they build is going to work in reallife or not with an MVP. Note that the test vehicle was scaled down model of the real thing. I guess they will know if their tech is worth being reusable before they actually build one.
I would actually argue that if someone gets into an "vehicular incident" while texting/snapchatting, said incident would indeed be intentional. The person intentionally opted out of paying attention to the road and are therefore at fault. You can't just accidentally start texting on your phone; picking up your phone while driving is very much an intentional action.
> "a tax rate of 100% has strongly negative effects"

Could you elaborate?
Note that fatalities can include both drivers and passengers. I'm also not sure where you got 80M active drivers from, I know there are around 200M licensed drivers but couldn't find any stats on active drivers.

On a yearly basis, since 2000, in the US, supposedly there have been anywhere from 1.5 to 1.08 fatalities per 100 million miles traveled by vehicle. That seems like a much more solid number to calculate your odds based on, but I don't know how to offhand.
Wasn't trying to troll.

I was serious enough once about personal accounting that I built my own web app because I thought the standard double-entry system wasn't really suited to the task. After I got the basic system tweaked to my satisfaction, I used it for several months.

I started to take it to the next level, but had the curious realization that I cared more for the process of developing the app than I did for actually tracking my finances. Eventually I gave it up, and went out and got a better job where I'm more fulfilled professionally and way better paid. I learned then that working on the app was substituting for professional fulfillment and vowed never to let that happen again.

Tracking cash inflows and outflows is an essential business skill. But a business is a machine, and people are not. Personal productivity does not respond well to wringing unit economics out of daily activities. If your goal is to turn yourself into a machine, by all means use a mechanistic approach. But we are meant to build machines, not to be them.

I think there's a lot of social pressure from rockstar web developers to build and use JS libraries and frameworks.

Let's face it, classic front-end web development works fine and is well understood. Doesn't get you into conferences or help you sell courses.

So we get the web of today, piles of Javascript and unnecessary complexity all wrapped together with ads and tracking. And excuses about how today's customers expect an app-like experience.
It was Jerry's idea that tech was becoming immaterial and that the web would be just another media conduit. Terry was approached based on this. It was a mistake.
Although I agree completely with your statement, especially wrt right to repair and DRM, I don't know what you would want the government to do in this case to protect a person's data when they choose to store it on a free service that offers no guarantees of anything, and specifically states in their TOS that they may remove an account for any reason at any time.

On top of that, this person chose not to take the simple step of using Google Takeout to back up the years of data that he couldn't afford to lose. If my business or mental health depended on that data, I'd be doing that every couple of weeks at least.

I do think it would be nice if Google would, when they remove an account, give you a couple of days to go to Takeout and download the data.

Just deleting it with no warning seems very rude indeed, especially when you consider the amount of advertising revenue they generate from serving people's data.

Google should also make less claims about, "A safe place to store your data"!, if they continue to remove people's data without warning or recourse.
There are mitigating strategies that we can use to our advantage. Rejecting car & home ownership culture, enforcing various frugal lifestyle patterns (cook and eat home, body weight exercise), cheap travel (couchsurfing/airbnb), geoarbitraging income can do wonders on a personal level. There are several changes on the horizon that could cause interesting ripples soon - for example, what happens when mobile solar power, electric transport, better batteries and global internet coverage enables entirely new kinds of productive lifestyles outside of expensive cities?
I really prefer reading on a e-paper display, mostly because it's right there and always ready to go, but also because the light is better than any physical booklight I've ever used. It is super convenient; the other day I was cornered by skunks on my bicycle ride home, and I was able to quietly stop and read for the half-hour or whatever that it took them to get off of the bay trail. I don't dread lines or anything of that sort because I always have a book with me, and the lighting is such that no matter how dark it is, I can read it, and the lighting is dim enough that I probably won't bother other people.

But... but it is annoying that I can't practically lend or give away any of these books, and I'm paying substantially more on the kindle than I would for used physical books. I spend a few hundred dollars a month on kindle books, a number that would be dramatically smaller if I bought (used) physical books. Heck, I think kindle books are often more expensive than their physical counterparts, just because there's no inventory to keep about; there's no reason for the publisher to get rid of books that sell slowly.

Right now I'm studying high school/remedial college math, history, literature, and eh, even after I'm done with the books in question, I won't be able to stock a library for my little cousins with my leavings.

The e-book is a nice solution, sure, but it's a nice solution for people with a lot of disposable income. I remember, as a kid, reading my parents libraries, and then going through all the castoffs I could find. In the e-book world? a kid on the budget I had as a kid would be restricted to texts written before 1923, and/or would resort to piracy.

> Do you see many colonizers in present? I don't.

The main example of "old school" colonization (other than the Chinese example mentioned below) I can think of in 2016 is the Israeli colonization of the occupied territories.

Colonies provided wealth and a logistical advantage to their owners. UK and France both fought hard to hold onto theirs well past the end of WWII. More recently, Russia considered Crimea important enough to accept the economic punishment annexing it entailed.

> Chinese flock to Southern coast and no longer push that hard demographically on Uighurs/Tibetans.

Do you have a good source or book that I can read about this? I would like to know more.

> Germans don't even seem to flock to their Northern, Baltic shore. And it has better climate than absolute most of their supposed "scram".

The Nazis are not known for paying careful attention to the climate when drawing up their grand plans. Lebensraum was their official policy, and I doubt they would have left the local population alone, considering what they did to other undesirables.
It is an obvious propaganda piece for the benefit of those who profit on the fossil fuel industry.

Psychology and Climate change are in different categories. The crisis of reproducibility in soft sciences has nothing to do with the overwhelming scientific consensus on the reality of global warming.

Many mentioned issues are real in hard science too but it just an example that you can lie with the truth. Perverse incentives, publication bias, imperfection of peer review, etc can't invalidate established results e.g., Newtonian physics continues to work in the domain it is applicable for.

It is infuriating that the planet (planetary habitability) is destroyed for the benefit of the very few.
Any component-based UI toolkit will fit the bill. There are many of them, as this is kind of classic approach, I would recommend React.

Too much negative commentary. Flipkart also did something interesting that fueled their early growth - they offered 'Cash on Delivery' model, cause many people in India don't use Credit/Debit cards for shopping! I never had a bad buying experience with them, but then my shopping has been limited.

Must say though that Amazon's recommendation engine and technical prowess in general is superior. I imagine so are Amazon's warehousing robots and logistics. Also from what I once heard, their Vendor Managers are more efficient (and aggressive) in dealing with the merchants.

To me Flipkart's weakness in strategic vision started showing up in dealing with the fashion segment - I never understood such an upmarked Myntra acquisition. They already had the fashion segment on their site back then! And then they got even more heady and switched to an App-Only Shop for couple of days. Whoever, initiated and approved that move!! (Side note: Flipkart founders are ex-Amazonians.)

I track every cent. I used to just carry a small notebook with me and write in it every time I bought something. Now I share a budget with my girlfriend though so we keep a notebook at the house to track things. I just keep receipts in my wallet then every few days I take them out, record the amounts, and throw them away.
I've realized it's pretty much pointless, and here's why. There's a bunch of people who don't really pay taxes and don't understand how wealth and taxes work. But they have to file a 1040 every year, so when you talk about taxes they think "income taxes". If you mention "capital gains", mostly their eyes just rollover because they can't conceptualize even what you are talking about.

They just don't understand they are agitating against hardworking doctors, lawyers, engineers, small business owners, and etc., while giving the people who do nothing but open an envelope every month a pass. They are probably 'useful' in a sense.

Is it "blame culture" when some jerk falls asleep behind the wheel, unintentionally kill a pedestrian, and is let off the hook because he wasn't attempting murder?

Is it "blame culture" when someone hits-and-runs a cyclist, posts on Facebook that he hit some dumb-ass guy on a bicycle, that cyclist winds up dead, but hey, he wasn't actually( trying to kill him, and gets off the hook with a $350 traffic fine?

This shit happens EVERY WEEK in New York City. Our cops would rather pretend like they're on The Wire or 24 hunting down drug lords and terrarists than doing basic traffic enforcement. They use terminology like "accidents" because a cabbie paralyzing or murdering a child is difficult to prosecute.

Semantics count. When we say "call it a crash, not an accident," all we're saying is, "figure out whether the person driving the car is culpable before you let him off the hook."
What Is Augmented Reality? – Infographic
It honestly wasn't so much of a bother. Updates were really the only pain point but then programs received updates periodically at best. (Talking dial-up era here) The cost of distribution motivated developers to release much higher-quality code, relatively-speaking, as not doing so cost you more (in terms of disks+shipping, additional bandwidth, etc) and well as earned a much greater amount of ire from your users.

If you were smart you had a system for dealing with migrating between computers. Maybe it was a script, maybe you knew which folders to copy, maybe you were extra careful with where you saved everything. Maybe you didn't care.

Some of the modern shit is nice (I fondly
 remember setting up a personal Active Directory+Exchange server to get a private LDAP sync, compared to Google now) but as a whole the current model encourages carelessness and mindless profiteering. There's too much of the equation nowadays in control of people who want to charge you for it, whereas before the user was had control. I miss the days when it was considered rude to require a network connection unnecessarily.

Plus, nowadays a product you love can turn to mush and there's nothing you can do about it save stop paying for it (and lose its services in the process), which will never amount to anything unless people do it en mass. Features regularly disappear because some bullshit business reason or another, or some user metric said only 2% of people used it. Well, fuck those 2% guys right?!? Before, if I didn't like your patch I could just revert to the old install discs. Nowadays I have to pray you don't alter your deal further.

edit: and don't get me wrong, as a developer the evergreen model is great. But as a power user, I hate it.

edit2: not to say older software didn't have its crap. Lots of fussy stuff to deal with. But compare the initial release of Windows 3.1 to Windows 10...

How to Let Web Design Drive Your Small Business Marketing Strategy
I can see being more lackadaisical about personal accounting on 30k/year, but when you make 15k/yr you need a budget and you need to track your expenses to survive. I think this is just something that varies from person to person, but it's nice to know that you spent X amount on groceries per week versus Y amount on gas so you can pinpoint what is hitting you most during times of dire financial stress to optimize.
> is zero

Sigh. No coefficient is ever exactly zero, just very close [0]. I didn't think I needed to explain that when writing, "could be zero."

> you will still get a parabola

If the squared parameter is not statistically significant, the author will likely drop it from the model. In that case, we would not see a parabolic model and the paper wouldn't exist. The authors would have moved on to a different topic, or found a different dataset.

If the coefficient is so small that it is indistinguishable from zero (not significant), then we ignore the associated variable entirely. To do otherwise would require us to discuss an infinity of possible variables as if they mattered to the model.

> correlation between unemployment and cognitive indicators

If you're arguing that the author should have dropped all observations of unemployed persons from the dataset, that's completely separate and has nothing to do with parabolas.
