I own multiple Windows tablets, so I'm certainly not being willfully ignorant.

You're being willfully ignorant that A) anybody is buying them to use UWP apps. They're not. Microsoft's app store isn't doing shit compared to Apple's or Google's. And B) that the sales numbers are anything to cheer about. They're not. Last quarter Apple did 7 billion dollars in iPads vs Microsoft's 1 billion in Surface.
Seems like what "CPS would do" is the same logic described in the article itself, but instead of the perceived (but not statistical) risk to the children it's the perceived (but not statistical) risk to the parents of those children. I doubt (don't have real data) that reporting actually happens often at all, but it's so easy to imagine and potentially embarrassing and scary for a parent that they avoid it. So even if you don't buy into the perceived risk to your kids, you buy into the perceived risk to yourself.

I never contended that we should harass the parents in question. I'm against litagating parenting. Everyone in this thread is really twisting my words to their own perceptions.

Point I'm making is directed at the study, which contends that our moral judgements should have no impact on how we assess the risk to a child. Even though I think our morals are heavily skewed and unnecessary, I bet they at least point in the correct direction of what the risk to a specific child is as compared to the average statistical risk to all children.
Ported to C++, added two ATL collections, also added 100M elements data point:

Arrays are still generally faster than lists.

The funny thing is Microsoft’s linked lists are faster than C++ standard vectors.
If you're building a relatively slow/cold storage archive datacenter I can think of a lot cheaper, less labor intensive ways to do it than retrofitting an underground bunker... I am assuming they either acquired the bunker for "free" or it has some purpose other than technical (marketing/sales/look how secure your data is!!!).
Probably because the batteries are not discharged to zero, so there is a "floor".

If the floor is X kWh, then we can solve for X based on these two ranges assuming the kWh / mile consumed is the same ratio, r.

r * (90 - X) = 270
r * (100 - X) = 315

Solving these two equations gives me X = 30 kWh as a fixed reserve in the battery packs assuming r = 4.5 mi / kWh.
Aerodynamic drag is hugely significant. It dominates at highway speeds. Reduced drag will be very much noticeable on a 0-60 run.
No no no my friend. You are paying your employees to work under the employment agreement that you both signed.

> I am paying you to be productive so that with the collective production of the employees, the company can outmaneuver the competition

Your employees may be so productive on a project that has no future which at the end will not help the company at all. It is you who should steer the ship for competition.
I think you are confusing being a lazy employee with what he/she is saying.
on one hand this feels like sarcasm, on the other hand he used an account with the name throwaway.
> I was able to be fully funded through the research that I performed

You performed work that benefited the institution, in exchange for goods and services. This is employment.

I get what you're saying, and you're not totally wrong. Most importantly, the research is part of your studies so it's not totally fair to label it as 100% employment. But it's also not 100% studies, since the university is getting material benefits from it.

You can argue that the employment angle is an accounting trick. Your research was part of your degree, and you didn't pay tuition and received a stipend. Most people's research is considered half-time employment, for which they are paid an amount roughly equal to the cost of tuition plus living expenses. These are two perspectives on situations that nearly identical on the ground, but are regulated differently. Tax regulations for most, but it sounds like you were also affected by labor regulations.

For my part, I was employed by my college as an undergrad as part of my financial aid package. It only counted for like 5% of my financial aid, because it was near-minimum-wage administrative office work. So I would argue that graduate students are not being treated differently from undergrads. The labor of graduate students has a higher value, and the mix of their financial aid packages reflect this, but the essential rules are the same.
That's a completely different case with a lot of unclear things.
The Olympic commission did run genetic and sex tests on her and the results were not published.
It looks like there is some genetic anomalies however as the results are secret and she will not publish them on her own it's hard to know if she is indeed intersex or not.

Males and Female are intentionally segregated in sports because it would be utterly unfair for them to compete on against each other.
Check virtually every sport and you'll see that the slowest scores in almost every event for men beat the record for the respective women's event.

You simply can't allow cross gender whether it's transgender or intersex individuals to choose under which gender they would compete, oddly enough it would be harmful to women if intersex and transgender athletes could compete in women's events.

I'm all up for having a 3rd or even 4th gender events set up if there is a sufficiently large pool of athletes to compete in these events.
Hey Brian,

First off congratulations on making a huge business decision like this - I'm sure it's not easy. And secondly thank you for putting yourself out here like this for us to talk to.

I rely on Instapaper every day to keep track of the reading that fuels my writing. I love that it's an awesome reading experience, that it syncs so well between devices, that it's keeping an archive of what I've read, and that it's so easy to share out to other apps and services.

I suppose I'm most worried that the experience that I - and many other users - have come to know and love will change, even in small ways. I'm imagining a reading UI with a little "save to pinterest" logo at the top and shuddering. Or some frankensteins' monster of a pinterest-board for my reading queue. Or being unable to share links or quotes to apps other than Pinterest.

I know you've said the team has no plans to make those sorts of changes to the product and user-experience, but how do you as a team know that you'll have that choice under the new ownership?

Either way, I'll be sticking around as a premium user for as long as I can. The app has brought me a lot of joy over the years, and I'm not feeling eager at the thought of potentially leaving it.

Cheers.
Coffee breaks.
If they don't do the seat reservation behind a POST, or at least blacklist the reservation page in robots.txt, I have no sympathy.
You're looking at this problem backward. For example, you mention user input. Users may need a second to click or touch a button, but when they do the software should react instantly, and that does not leave you that many cycles. My smartphone's lock screen is my go-to example: most times it fails to follow my finger, and I barely have anything running on it.

Most of the dynamic languages are data and instruction cache-miss machines. They chase objects and pointers all around the memory.
Of course, you're forgetting the most important part!

People get paid for all sorts of reasons. If you are being paid specifically to put work in front of your hobbies, then that is your job! Think database uptime employees who are paid to get up in the middle of the night to fix a bug, etc. Heck, I even paid a friend to eat a shoe once; you can pay people to do all sorts of things. Paying someone to put work in front of hobbies is hardly novel or extreme.

Of course, this should be clear in the job description!!
> 1) Yes, child abduction/predation is unlikely ... because we've adopted a huge number of countermeasures that close of this vector. That doesn't (by itself) mean you can just stop doing those measures and act like the risk is still low.

There is no reason to think that the elasticity of crime is enormous and in ranges like 10 or 100. You can see this just by considering the tight range of crime across the US, and the considerable random variation over time, despite the huge differences in policing budgets and local factors which influence crime such as poverty. If everyone stopped caring about pedophiles, the rate of child abduction would be... very similar to what it is now, because there is not a huge population of pedophiles slavering at the fences and going 'darn! if only people would let their kids spend a few more minutes outside and take down that pesky 'neighborhood watch' sign, I would be able to kidnap hundreds of kids!'
Don't most graduate students fund themselves using TA/RA budget lines where they are employed by the university? It's the norm everywhere I've seen.
Thanks for your questions, iamjeff,

A pricing page used to be present on the site, but no one would ever get to see the content because the price deterred users away.

The pricing page is still available, just not in the navigation. The first section of content is available for free, then after that, a free 7 day trial is available, followed by pricing of $29 a month.

The curriculum is meant for someone with very basic or no programming knowledge to go from their current level of understanding to knowing how to build complete web applications with ASP.Net, various JavaScript libraries, various database types, and realtime data, while also learning how to articulate knowledge in interviews, write resumes to match job postings, and determine what the needs of the business are. They aren't hiring developers for the heck of it - they want to solve a problem. It's your job to find the problem and help them solve it. If you can illustrate this fact in your interview and have the skills to back it up, you will be offered a job.

Could not verify this. Looks like it seats 5, 2 in the front and 3 in the back. What am I missing?

There are two things that make me happy about this news:

1. I deleted my Facebook account over a year ago, so it won't affect me.

2. It might speed up unevitable death of FB as a whole.
This way it's a lot of work for one small team to write the C interpreter, compared to a still quite a lot of work for every team with a C extension that would need to port it to Python.

> I'm not sure how your parent even jumped to talking about "political correctness" in the first place, since that's not at all what the article meant by "right" thoughts and feelings.

It's funny to me, since I do, to some extent, try to recognise my prejudices in my thoughts, but it's not been a problem for me. Whereas I actually have had problems with worrying about whether my thoughts and feelings are “right” in the sense that the OP is talking about.
This sort of calculation is missing the forest for the trees. Right now, wind is providing 5% of the US power supply. Plants are becoming substantially less expensive as technology improves and economies of scale come to the fore. That's mostly Midwestern ground power. Sea-based wind plants are more efficient due to more consistent wind.

Nuclear power provides about 20% of the US consumption, and there's no need to shut down existing nuclear plants as wind comes online. So just increasing wind output by 15x would more or less cover America's needs. With lots of untapped shoreline and lots of untapped Midwestern plains (not to mention new tech making previously unviable locations viable), it doesn't seem outrageous.

The missing key here is energy storage, not energy generation. Storage is how you optimize utilization. When plants produce excess power, capture and store, and release when the wind isn't blowing. Even with thermal losses, this gets us in the ballpark of 100% utilization. And there's a ton of investment in this field right now.

As for this plant, it wasn't built to make money on electricity. It was built to learn how to build offshore wind in the US, to deal with the technology and political pressures. The goal is to be able to build a thousand times this capacity, or more.
I find this very interesting. I'm currently a grad student at Brown, and I receive a W-2. I'm a Math PhD, and I teach a class each semester. I'm not sure how this would be different for others whose stipends come from grants or other sources of funding.

I don't get why everyone is reading this line negatively.

When I read the headline my first thought was "Oh, that'll help with the cashflow problems for Model 3's ramp up."

Tesla buyers make their choice on strong feature differences. The company puts very little effort into telling people what to think of their product with traditional advertising or messaging.

IMO, the primary audience of press releases like this (from Tesla, not generally) are investors. Consumers will get this news two or three levels of indirection later ie some journalist compressing and regurgitating this release, or word of mouth.

s/put my work ahead of yours/put my work ahead of your personal life/ is what you're coming across as saying. In real life, there is, and always should be, balance. An employee devoted entirely to work will burn out and perform suboptimally, sometimes dramatically so.
I think the problem is that sometimes emotions can have nothing to do with reality. It's just a brain chemistry problem and only fixing the brain chemistry aspect will help. That can be done through exercise, meditation, supplements or drugs. In certain instances there's even a correctable problem, such as low grade heavy metal poisoning, that can be permanently fixed. When people beat themselves up over brain chemistry problems, it just makes it worse. It's like mentally beating yourself over not being able to walk with a broken leg.

That would be impossible, Thor cannot be brought down by any other than Jörmungandr. More seriously, I'll try to avoid reproducing the ping of death issue :)
I see your point. I am sure that my views are heavily influenced by my experience which was good. I know that I was not supposed to work over 20 hours per week. It did not matter if that was all research or a combination of research and teaching a class. At those hours I was a part-time employee so there was not need for the university to extend any benefits to me. I also made sure that I only worked 20 hours a week. I did not feel any pressure to put in more hours than that.

My wife is currently working on a PhD and she is also only expected to work 20 hours a week. It is very much about the individual program and the department/field.
There are virtually no byproducts to test.
And there is nothing to sequence you can improve your lung tissue only, your artery or heart or a specific muscle.
CRISPR is very selective just taking a swab or a blood sample and testing it would reveal nothing.
Also doing a full sequence for each athlete is going to be very expensive not to mention that this only works when they start professionally competing you can dope your kid at a young age and there is no baseline to compare it too.
Yeah. But look at the bright side: Not every part of growing older sucks.
I was totally fine wandering around aimlessly until my phone buzzed, but they also took out battery saver mode. I never even found out about the existence of maps until they were banned. Removal of such a benign, yet helpful feature as battery saver mode is what made me quit.
While impressive - it would be more impressive in my mind to see the USA embrace walking, biking, and public transit in a meaningful way - rather than fetishize the wasteful consumerism that is "ludicrous mode".
The trouble is that battery capacity and power output are greatly related. That's why this new P100D is faster than the P90D, and why Tesla's slowest offerings are also those with the smallest batteries. For a given battery, you can extract X% of its capacity per minute without significantly damaging it, where X depends on chemistry, temperature, and what you consider to be "significant." If you add capacity, X remains the same, so the absolute power you can extract goes up.

From what I hear, cooling is its biggest problem as a track car. The cooling system is sized for highway cruising, not track driving, so it overheats and limits power after a while.
I assume its something atleast as complicated as what they use in the real games [1], but the system would be much better if you could actually fight the wild Pokemon in the game to lower their health instead of relying on the shrinking circle.

It's fast. So fast.
"Your purchase will allow more consumers to make a similar, energy-saving, green purchase"

Its a value-add of sorts, the money you give Tesla goes not to a massive car company, but to other consumers who have similar values to yours.
Well it's certainly worthwhile to the Japanese people that work at these jobs for decades. Otherwise they would not continue to do it.

I did my PhD in Norway, where PhD students are considered employees. However, the university is foot-deep in have-my-cake-and-eat-it-too land.

We had department heads, even heads of faculty, tell us in front of a hundred students that yes, you are expected to work more than the amount specified by law and your official contract. And no, you will not be paid overtime. And yes, you have to fill out a form saying when you will take your legally-mandated five weeks of holidays. But oh, no, we don't want you to actually take all those weeks as holidays, and no, you can't get a student bus card either, you're employees!

Only good that came out of it for me was a bag full of ammo whenever someone in admin complained that I hadn't filled out some stupid paperwork or whatever. A short crass email pointing out their blatantly illegal public statements, together with the words "or I'll contact my union's free lawyer service" shut them up quicker than contact cement.
The GPS issues have nothing to do with getting a GPS fix. It's just a plain ol' bug. My GPS is spot-on when using any app other than Pokémon Go which pretty regularly states that the GPS isn't working when I'm holding my phone in my hands to an open sky with no clouds.

It doesn't matter what I'm doing or what device I'm using it always shows that GPS error message every 30 seconds to 1 minute.
Home runs travel further at Coors Field. Field goals are longer at Mile High. Sprinters turn in faster times at higher altitudes. You can bet that the air density will affect vehicle acceleration tests significantly.
The battery is already removable. I could see a Tesla battery swap machine at a track with lightweight "track batteries."
I relate best with your third point, but more generally, the original Pokemon games were strategic--to win battles you had to pick a good moveset, understand the type system, and train your pokemon to high levels. In this game, battles are mostly just screen mashing, and leveling up is purely about catching (either by catching a high level or catching enough pokemon to have the stardust to level one up), and battles are still not a major component of the game. I've actually gone back to playing the original games for the first time in over a decade, and it's a lot more fun than Go. :/
Perhaps it's relevant that even high-class families in 19C had to view young children as somewhat replaceable, given the higher rates of childhood mortality?

If you want to get 'statistical' the single most risky thing you can EVER do to a child is to place them in a car.

Yet, how does society morally look down on a parent that places their children at such a huge risk?
I can't help thinking that we need a new scientific programming language that is properly vectorised and directly targets GPUs, as opposed to all these hacks that unroll loops. Now that a large proportion of data science and scientfic computing is GPU centric, aren't there new languages designed with these parallel architectures foremost in mind? Doesn't functional programming map very well to this?

It almost seems to me that just as we're about to get c-speed in Python via JIT tech, so it'll almost immediately be left behind because the GPU is where it's at.
> They'd be pretty awful if they carpeted the entire Great Plains.

They pretty much do in many areas.

And yes, the lights are the worst part. I think the risk of striking a windmill in the Great Plains is low enough that they could probably remove the lights in many areas.

Some better options than brilliant lights shining into the sky in all directions:

1. Use aircraft transponders to turn on lights selectively.
2. Establish a minimum flight level in wind farms, and provide pilots with locations of the towers in the event of an emergency descent.
3. Install reflectors to ensure that the lights are only visible from very far away on the ground. This doesn't solve the light pollution problem, and it's only really useful for pilots above the lights who don't need to worry.
4. Install reflectors to ensure that the lights are only visible below the level of the tower. This would improve the light pollution situation with regards to astronomy, but probably make it worse for viewers.
5. Network the lights so they fade in and out synchronously, rather than random noisy blinking.
@bholzer put it nicely. Google "chimps and bonobos demonstrate morality". Cooperation increased survivability and that generally has affected our acceptance of what is intrinsic to what feels right. Later religion slapped on meaning to it via super natural explanation which was the best bullshit they could come up with at the time. I get up voted on PC answers by the way but I should have cited some examples.
I didn't think so, but maybe I'm wrong. I would have thought that working as a TA or RA would be a big waste of time while you're trying to do good research and complete your PhD.
It's probably highly subjective to make a description of what needs an OS to be an OS. For me, it would be to be able to boot on hardware, to be able to execute applications and to give these applications an abstract layer to the hardware.
And other objectives, like colonizing space (SpaceX), standing up to the shady business of car dealerships and their stranglehold on car sales (Tesla cuts out that middle man), etc etc.
I don't understand, why only 20%? If the traffic is from known scrapers why can't you just render "scrap off" ie easily get rid of them?

And traffic from good scrapers is of course pretty much impossible to measure so you don't know how big percentage of scrapers you got rid of in total.
