Very cool, thanks! I didn't realize that in certain contexts, many false positive outliers wouldn't necessarily be such a bad thing, especially when they could be further refined with human interaction.
People don't buy these for curb appeal. They buy them because of interior features. Also, the exterior appeal only matters in relation to the architecture around it. My wife knows the difference between good architecture and bad, we just haven't seen a new neighborhood that resembles the old rich parts of town. So as long as we keep buying vaulted ceilings, open lofts, big kitchens, and game rooms ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

>None of "the alternatives" offer oil's tremendous positive energy (net current) surplus with a minimum of effort or technological capability.

It took only 20 years for fracking to go from an experiment to full scale commercial roll out. It's not an 'alt-fuel', but it is a technological advancement. I think you're discounting the force of human ingenuity when faced with massive demand, kind of like the Hunt Brothers.

Oddly, the same code prohibits dealing onion futures and movie ticket receipts:

> 7 U.S. Code § 13–1 - Violations, prohibition against dealings in motion picture box office receipts or onion futures; punishment

> No contract for the sale of motion picture box office receipts (or any index, measure, value, or data related to such receipts) or onions for future delivery shall be made on or subject to the rules of any board of trade in the United States.

I think it's important to realize that he didn't lose respect for Khan through that experience. He wasn't trying to put Khan down, or look for a reason to demote him.

Possibly Cook looked at it as a teaching experience for Khan.
I'm going to disagree with the other comments here. It's not because they're paid by the word, or because they've never been taught how to write effectively. It's mandatory to be taken seriously in the circles the author cares about. You have to demonstrate that you know the "stylistic lingo" to get your ideas taken seriously, so that lingo is used.

Simply put, you are not the intended audience for the paper or it would have been written in the style you prefer. See: Malcolm Gladwell.
No matter what's plaguing you, there will always people worse off. That doesn't mean your problems stop feeling like problems, however. Human experience and judgment is extremely relative. We acclimate to our surroundings. Otherwise, we'd all be paralyzed by constant awe at things like cars and running water.
Where do we draw the line between sadness and depression?
Garage pits are illegal. I would have put one in otherwise.
That's true, because doing so in Lisp is undecidable and because you allow function definitions to change (that's why type checking works better with inline and local functions).

The type of analysis applied to Lisp is adapted to its type system: you have ranges of values, unions, etc. In particular SBCL can exploit some relationships between runtime values and types (I detailed it recently, so I prefer not to repeat myself: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=12222404)

As far as I am concerned, it is already quite powerful to detect the type-related errors that I tend to do.
The part that cannot be decided during compilation is left to be checked at runtime, which is strong dynamic safety. Instead of manipulating untyped bits, you have all you need to never corrupt the state of your program.
The good news is that if implementors make progress with type inference, you don't have to change the language: more checks can move from runtime to compile-time (the hard stuff would be the check the "satisfy" type ;-).

With some types left to be checked at runtime, you end up in a situation that is no worse than statically typed programs which throw exceptions for other kinds of errors. Sometimes, those errors arise because programmers implement a dynamic things, like ad-hoc tags to identify objects at runtime (so this is basically a dynamic type system in disguise). Other errors related to safety are tied to temporal issues, deadlocks, permissions, priority, security, etc. You can't always encode them with types. There are formal tools for dealing with them, but at this point, whether you use them generate safe code in Lisp or OCaml is not very important (and generating Lisp code is straightforward).

> Even worse, Common Lisp will use your type annotations to optimize code, which can change the behavior of your program.

This is a strange concern. The modified behavior belongs to the set of behaviors that would be possible without checking types, not a new, faulty behavior that contradicts what the code says.
So what has Cook done to Apple besides that successful LGBT campaign?
What keeps me from exercising? Right now, I have a severely sprained ankle and cannot even walk!

That said, I've had a few exercise habits in the past, I'll talk about each in turn.

Usually I like to cycle up mountains. What has stopped me from doing that is moving to crappy cities for that (Bangkok, London) or crappy parts of cities for that (Hollywood, LA). Also, sometimes having no bike after moving (historically I moved cities very often). The best features of cycling are that it doesn't depend on much equipment, anyone else, or have a high minimum time commitment. You are getting sun, better air, and if you make it to nature like I do: away from humans. I like to slot it in on the end or start of the day, my usual ride is 1.5 hours, in a flat, very steep climb, descent, flat configuration.

Another habit was sailing. That was great but it's seasonal even in a nice climate, highish buy-in, the minimum time commitment is pretty huge, storage overheads can be a ton and if you live too far from water you're screwed. If anyone's keen to have a look at this, I highly recommend http://wetamarine.com/ - great boats, very modern and fast, with apparently a decent scene in SF too.

I have tried a few times and it's better than no exercise at all but personally I can't stand gyms... they make me feel like a rat in a cage.

About the "genetics: it won't work for me" comment, although it helps I do not really think I am motivated at all to exercise by body image, but rather for overall health, mood and energy.
Maybe for maps?
artificial neural networks, you won't really be able to opening the code won't tell you much if anything, it's simply beyond the human capability to review.

So you'll end up with ANN's reviewing other ANN's which are reviewed by other ANN's at the end.

You can test ANN's by simply fuzzing them and seeing the output, getting much insight to why an outcome was chosen for a given data set is near impossible.
Actually, there's a very simple reason: the T. Rex had stubby arms so it could have a big head.

The T. Rex started out bipedal, with functional arms -- you can pick that as its starting point, there are plenty of those guys running around in the fossil record. As its head got bigger and bigger, it became top-heavy: its back end had to balance its front end when running, or else it would just face plant constantly.

If I had to guess (I haven't actually looked into how much of this we have recovered from the fossil record; I just happen to have heard the reason above) the T. Rex's head probably got pretty big first -- for a while, bigger heads could be counterbalanced by bigger tails while still retaining normal-sized arms. But there's a limit to how big animals can get, so eventually the proto-T. Rex would have the biggest tail it could support.

By this point it would be firmly in the big head niche: its diet, survival strategy, and sexual selection would revolve around using its giant head and powerful mouth to just bite the crap out of everything and generally be awesome. Now come the tiny arms: even when its arms were still functional, they were less awesome than its giant head. Trading slightly smaller, slightly less functional arms for a slightly gianter, slightly more awesome head was a win at every point down the curve, until it was stuck with tiny, useless arms and a really awesome head.

There was some talk a few years ago about trading futures on movie box-office returns, meaning betting if a future movie will be successful at box-office or not. This supposedly would have allowed movie studios to hedge in case of a potential dud.

But it was forbidden for some reason.

This might be related to that.

How much interest would there be in a cleaned up C?

A non-backward-compatible very-close-to-c dialect with a lot of these tricky corner cases removed? Made a bit more ergonomic overall?

It would still be abi compatible and easily integrated into C projects (same headers, declarations, etc).

I know of some more ambitious attempts at a saner C and why they failed.

But every time I write something to work with C 's legacy rules I wonder "why can't this just be a little better".

I'm not talking new language better. Just a new dialect of C that compiler could easily support, perhaps with a directive in a C source file. It could even transpile to C for compilers that didn't support it.

Something like what C would be without the legacy cruft.

Would anyone use it but me?
Agreed. Front-end developers should have experience using libraries that encapsulate collections, trees, sets, hashes, etc... and know when to use certain data structures.

But unless they're being hiring to develop a library, they don't need to have these algorithms memorized.
This partially works for me with "cargo test"; it also seems to print a control character ('^O') after every colored string, as well as at very beginning of the output. Additionally, after a certain amount of output (maybe 1.5 times my terminal height), it prints an ellipsis and stops printing anything new.

Thanks a bunch for pointing me towards `expect`, though! I hadn't used it before, and I'll definitely do some experimenting with it to see if I can get my desired output with it.
This is not an article about ethical philosophy per se. The article is concerned with how people actually think when they make moral judgments, not how they should think, or what their conclusions ought to be. In particular, the article asserts that people don't think in utilitarian terms when they make moral judgments.

Besides, it's not like every paper related to ethics should contain a summary of every ethical framework you listed. It's a research paper, and its intended audience knows those things already. It's not a syllabus for a sophomore survey course on ethics.
it was detected though, still better than if it were closed
The guy likes his houses symmetric. That's about all he said.
Well of course it has to do with money, what you are referring to would increase the property cost by 2-3x. The same house but custom built home on an acre of land in the city in the u.s. east would run you $1million+, or have a prefab home on .3 acres (subdivision) for $400,000.

As in 'to dwell on' something. My dictionary says it comes from a norse word meaning 'to go astray'.

I believe in the right to own property. I don't want to put undue restrictions on what a person can do with his private property, especially when the problem is simply "aesthetics."

If you don't believe in the right to do what you want with your property, that's fine, but you may be more happy in a Communist country.
This article is literally a year old, and the response has been posted here more than once: https://www.yodlee.com/yodlee-responds/
The word is so overused these days. Your idea may be rational, it may have philosophical appeal, but your idea is not science unless you carry out "experiments" to validate it. Everyone uses the word "science" without actually having experiments and adequate controls to back it up.

FYI, Whenever someone adds "science" to the title, the paper is generally not science.

The Note 7 looks awesome due to it being waterproof and other features Apple hasn't bothered to include. Also, Google Now in terms of it understanding me is light years away from Siri, which I have used since 2011. Goigle Now's AI puts Siri to shame!

>I find it inappropriate and offensive that this author decides to be the sole authority on aesthetics of PRIVATE properties, appealing to some sort of an unassailable, celestial authority that mainstream architecture is and promoting boring, utilitarian designs.

This is a straw man. The author isn't against interesting designs, just careless ones. And interpreting this article as a advocating authoritarianism is reading a lot into it.
The Ultimate Cheat Sheet for Reinventing Yourself
Mair's point is that "building up a foundation" means learning the language not the script.

> characters-last approaches

I think it's more accurate to call what Mair's advocating a "language-first-characters-later-if-necessary" approach.

Here's what Mair said about Chinese classes:

It’s a tragedy that so many young Americans spend years stuffing their heads with hundreds of Chinese characters, gaining no usable proficiency, and then forgetting them all by the time they’re 25. If the Chinese would wake up and permit pinyin to function as part of a genuine digraphia, then I would say it might make sense for maybe 2 percent of the population to learn up to third-year level of Mandarin—strictly romanized, mind you. But there are exceedingly few teachers who are enlightened enough to teach it that way.

Your comment seemed flippant as you play off the title of the article, and I don't think the average reader wouldn't have interpreted your comment as a value judgment. What were you intending to convey with your factual observation?
> A blanket judgement that all charter schools are bad is wrong in at least one instance.

I don't think they made any such statement.

> We applaud the one out of five charter schools that are truly centers of innovation, fulfilling their original intent.

> I suggest they all take a deep breath and read the resolutions again. The NAACP does not want charter schools shut down. It wants a pause on new, privately managed charters.
> Furthermore, I hypothesize that social groups develop [particular tastes] partially to foster in-group cohesion and out-group separation

I'm pretty sure this hypothesis has substantial support from sociological studies.

> which requires making the out-group seem bad.

That's certainly a tactic that can be used, but it's not required.

The article states that McMansions are ugly, which implies that their owners have bad taste, not that they're bad people.
Life as an anxious scientist
The response in no way addresses why Yodlee is so amazingly duplicitous.

Look at how Yodlee collects the data:

Yodlee begins collecting transaction data from bank customers after they
sign up to use online tools powered by Yodlee.

Some information also goes to Yodlee through a practice called “screen
scraping.” If a person uses a budgeting app created by Yodlee and gives the
app permission to access their bank accounts using their username and
password, Yodlee can capture the transaction history in those accounts.

How much do you want to bet the vast majority of those customers have (1) no idea Yodlee is doing this, (2) were informed in only the most oblique way hidden in pages of legal text, and (3) would not be enthused about this if they knew.
In the case of McMansions, that's often also true. While the author didn't address it, generally the craftsmanship follows the (lack of) design. Subpar stucco, heavy use of quarter round because cutting floors and walls that fit is time-consuming, poor use of interior space, etc.

McMansions are a great example of form over function. They meet the buyers notion how a "fancy" house should appear. But, they stop there.

Seriously just be yourself, don't over think it. If you don't know something, don't be afraid to so, but you're keen to learn if it is something useful. You can't know everything, no one can, just be confident in the things you do know. Nothing worse than a faker, you'll be caught out anyway, you're going to be judged on your strengths not your weaknesses, unless the employer is crappy, and you wouldn't want to work for them anyway.

Good luck.

Only skimmed through the beginning of the grammar section, and it looks more technical than most of what I've seen so far online.

I must say that after I had studied Japanese for some time, reading Reiko Shimamori's systematic japanese grammar (Grammaire Japonaise Systématique, actually, I don't think there's an english edition of this french book) was an eye opener. Japanese grammar made so much more sense to me once I heard about 連体形, 未然形, etc. And I'm glad you talk about those. As I said, though, I only skimmed, but a quick search doesn't reveal any mention of 助動詞, sadly.

PS: the menu on the right overlaps with the text if the window is narrow, and that makes it impossible to read.

I was shot at. What saved me was not a gun of my own, but running fast (OpED)
This project is not intended to be a sample application. As it stands it's a simple starter kit to avoid having to repeat the same configurations for every application. I created it purely for personal use, and decided to share it.

Over time I will be adding more features. Today PouchDB and CouchDB remote replication has been added comply with offline first development practices. Along with a few other tweaks. Next I'll be adding common React components that I use often in my own commercial projects.

It's every growing, and an attempt to get contributors to jump on board to create something that will be beneficial and helpful to all.

They apparently say it right here about the ontology approach:

https://www.palantir.com/palantir-gotham/technologies/

That's especially hilarious given that approach's failures are what led to investment in machine learning in the first place. Such approaches tend to assume precise information, variables, and rules about the world. Most problems Palantir wants to address... the hard ones... are imprecise with hidden variables/relationships. The machine learning techniques did very well on those kind of mess problems. So, research shifted.

If Palantir is using ontologies for that stuff, then that would certainly be a sign for buyers to run. I still encourage academics to look into such approaches with probabilistic, simple methods in case any advances come up. Fuzzy logic was main one in my day. Just stumbled on a claim today a drone AI did human-level performance using that. Some corroboration for R&D in underdog solutions but not production apps. Haha.
