"Finally, the authors of the study acted to avoid a common problem with research that links adverse pregnancy outcomes to certain medications: that women whose children have some identifiable problem are more likely to recall taking medications during pregnancy. The current study asked women when they were pregnant about their medication use, and then — seven years after her child’s birth — asked her to assess her child’s emotional and social well-being and report a range of problematic behaviors."

One benefit is that they were able to bootstrap the language and now enjoy having a pure Go toolchain.

Whereas with LLVM, while they could benefit from all the work that has gone into it, they would get a dependency on C++ for life.

This way, the progress is slower and multiple releases will be required to achieve some optimizations, on the other hand it is the only way to prove to naysayers that for the systems programming use case of writing compilers, Go is also a viable option.

When you aren't being forthright with the position you held on a development team. If you were a late onboard to a project and spent your time firefighting bug reports, you could perhaps lend cachet to your resume by omitting the relatively minor role you had in the project. Then you'd be borrowing the "plume in your cap" from your team, who deserves more of the credit.

Nice snark, but one can extract more interesting insights.

"learning deficits observed in healthy older adults are driven by a diminished capacity to represent and use uncertainty to guide learning"

From a Bayesian, or normal machine learning, perspective: older people have collected more evidence about the world, and thus would normally reduce their learning rate, or belief update amount, for best performance. In this example, though, video games represent a different environment, and the older adults have little evidence about them. However, they fail to have a higher learning rate. Looks to me like an evolutionary adaptation that does not work anymore; the environment did not change that quickly before.

To paraphrase: older people learn more slowly, and this parallels the lesser weight of new evidence when you have more accumulated evidence in Bayesian beliefs; or the reduction of learning rate in machine learning systems.

Since cleaning that out my laptop is good as new.
Interesting. Took a bit to even understand what logic programming was.
I suspect much of this unease about stereotypes and researching them comes from the scientific community not wanting their work to be used to justify extremism or far right/far left political parties.

After what happened with both Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union misrepresenting scientific research to 'support' their policies, I suspect a lot of researchers want to avoid their own work being used for the same purposes.

He picked a very inclusive definition of 'stereotype'. I wouldn't consider the idea that Jews don't celebrate Christmas (a Christian holiday) - its a matter of faith so feels more like a fact. The rest were demographics with a clear statistics basis - most of them well known and well understood not to be generalizations applying to the whole group. Saying that 80% of African Americans voted for democrats in 2012 would necessarily imply that 20% didn't. The ratio necessitates individual variation, something that a more common stereotype (black people like watermelon [side note: who the heck doesn't?]) doesn't allow. That's not to mention that the behavior in question is clearly in line with their best interest (GOP has been tilting right for years to appeal to an aging, racist, white base), implying that they like people of all races are assumed to be rational.

None of these numbers point to a monopoly on the bizdev/marketing side - is that due to the tools/players being new (I consolidated) or is it likely to stay this fragmented?
Which isn't to imply that the author is wrong about anything, just that most of what he's talking about doesn't fit the common definition of stereotypes, but demographics.

I'm sure that works well on product pages, which are just the same template reused for every single product. I'm afraid it will fail spectacularly on wiki pages, which are handcrafted by humans with all the completely unpredictable randomness that entails.
The accuracy or inaccuracy of stereotypes reminds me of the regulations and ethical debates regarding the use of machine learning for example for creditworthiness. The algorithms often turn out to become "racist", because from the data they have, race is a good predictor.

I'm still somewhat ambivalent on that, because I'm not convinced that statistics can be racist. But people pointed out to me that the way these statistics are collected might not be free of bias. Also, for example race being a good predictor of creditworthiness might in itself be just an effect of racism (eg. because black people aren't hired at well paying jobs) and using that statistics exacerbates the problem. Those are pretty good points, but I still find it weird that we forbid businesses to use all the information they have available to make business decisions.
I agree that the communication with the community is very important.

A more difficult path is to have good benchmarks. I only found this: http://www.ideawu.com/blog/ssdb . It's like a 10% improvement, probably not enough to convince someone to switch. Is there an specific use case where they get a bigger difference?

There were some nice things about this article. However I wouldn't recommend it as a cure for confusion. E.g.

> in mean-field variational inference, we have parameters for each datapoint ... In the variational autoencoder setting, we do amortized inference where there is a set of global parameters ...

Mean-field implies the variational posterior is modelled as factorising over the different latent variables involved. Some latent variables can be local (unique to a data point) and some can be global (shared across data points).

One thing I was surprised to learn is that Excedrin Migraine is identical to regular Excedrin. It's just marketed differently.

There are different formulations of Excedrin (ex: Migraine Tension has no aspirin) but the Migraine formula is identical to the regular formula.
Is this surprising? I've always thought, logically, that for a stereotype to become popular and remain so, it's got to be a better quick rule of thumb assessment than an alternative stereotype, ergo there must be some small kernel of truth or statistical disposition underlying it.

I remember it was an opinion that got me reamed out once by a rather terrible, but idealistic middle-school teacher.

As it stands you got two seemingly contradicting answers to your question. They are actually both sort of correct.

You can indeed try to replay a transaction from one chain to the other. Everything in the transaction is still valid. It will be propagated by the p2p nodes as they just perform crypto sanity check.

It doesn't mean it will be included in a block though. For the replay to goes through and be included in the blockchain, there needs to be at least as many coins held by the address in the other chain. This is usually not the case for addresses created post-fork. However, all addresses that had coins before the fork are susceptible to this issue. There are guides to "split" the coins so that you can safely separate them and hold them in brand new addresses that have zero balance on the other chain.

It's a painful issue that was raised before the fork but had been downplayed by pro-fork supporters as the old chain was supposed to die quickly.

Also, it's hilarious how every company are asking the Google and FB questions now. And, you rarely get a SQL or database questions. I've had to work with colleagues who think they know everything just because they answer the algorithm question and can't do a simple "group by".

That assumes that the terminal has full-color support.

It would be even better to use a sane default supported by all terminals (the ugly 16-color one), and enable full-color only on terminals known to support it.

Page 44: 3.5 Welfare Levels and Educational Incentives

It is well established that the economic returns to education are substantially lower in Denmark
and the other Scandinavian countries than in the U.S. (see, e.g., Fredriksson and Topel, 2010;
Harmon et al., 2003) ... As noted in Edin and Topel
(1997) and Fredriksson and Topel (2010), incentives to pursue education diminish as returns
to education decrease and welfare benefits increase.

That's just the first few lines, the argument is hashed out (with references) over the next couple of pages.

It's also a necessary "evil" to demonstrate that languages should have the right amount of features, no more and tools are part of a language, along with ease of deployment. It's is questionable whether Go strikes the right balance when it comes to features vs "simplicity" though, but it might inspire better solutions in the future. I think MSFT is trying to follow the same path with .net core and its tool chain, I hope they succeed as C# and F# are vastly superior to Go.

Denmark was rich (by international comparison) and equality was a well established value long before the welfare state. A song written by one of the most popular poets of the time, Grundtvig, in 1820, contained the line "Og da har i rigdom vi drevet det vidt, når få har for meget og færre for lidt." ("We have achieved much in wealth, when few has too much and still fewer too little". My translation does not do the poetic qualities of the original justice, but it's pretty accurate for content.)

> On the inside, Git is a thing of beauty, marvel of engineering. On the outside, it is a mess of inconsistent command line options, terrible documentation, and snobbish community that thinks everything of this is fine and small surface details are irrelevant as long as the core works exactly as advertised

The core working exactly as advertised is vitally important! Rotten core + shiny, 'user-friendly' exterior would be a polished turd.

I do agree - the outside of git didn't have to be ugly and I'm yet to meet any git 'apologist' who disagrees or thinks it's fine. In mitigation though, the git command can be wrapped by friendlier CLI tools or GUIs. Git has succeeded largely in part of the massive tooling around it - things like GitHub would have been less likely to exist had Git's internal data structures been opaque or poorly designed.

It might be instructive to hear it from the horses mouth: Linux, on git "git actually has a simple design, with stable and reasonably well-documented data structures. In fact, I'm a huge proponent of designing your code around the data, rather than the other way around, and I think it's one of the reasons git has been fairly successful […] I will, in fact, claim that the difference between a bad programmer and a good one is whether he considers his code or his data structures more important."

I think Slicing Pie is a better solution than vesting. It's wrong for a founder to lose their equity if they work hard for ten months and then have a split with a cofounder in the tenth month.

Also I suggest founders earn stock, not options in the early days.

If investors want founders on a vesting plan an ISO plan can be created for them- but the shares they have earned previously are never to be subject to vesting. Unless investors will have their shares best as well. And none of them will because they money they put in is real money.... but so is the sweat founders put in.
