Yeah, careful what you measure, because that's what will be gamed towards. It reminds me of what I heard[1] (I didn't check my sources carefully, whatever) is one reason station wagons fell out of favor relative to SUVs in the USA -- federal fuel economy standards that were divided into separate categories for trucks and non-trucks, incentivizing the sale of small trucks rather than big cars, even for a big car that is smaller and more effecient than a small truck :-(

I think you'd do the self-driving market a disservice by bundling it with expensive range-limiting technology. If both are positive changes in their own right, then they're better off keeping them available separate for maximum adoption.

That's even more so the case with self-driving cars, since their ideal use cases (highways) are the least ideal use case for vehicles with short ranges.
Well, article 4 of section 3 of my copy of the social contract disagrees completely.
I guess I just don't see how this addresses my question. Why this would help, over just ranking those sites lower?

It seems like a roundabout way to do things.
I know it's not true man. It's just nice to stir up the pot once in a while here. I can assure you I don't have a mental illness, but I do appreciate your concern. Thanks! So fuck off when you tell me I have a mental illness.
If BMW doesn't update the i3 significantly before 2022 they are going to be left in the dust.

Chevy has the Bolt coming out this year which will offer 200+ mile range on a EV w/no ICE.

Nissan has said they have a 35kWh Leaf coming out for 2017 which will boost the Leaf to ~130 miles, with rumors that a 200+ mile model will be coming in 2018.

Plus Tesla is supposed to be coming out with the Model 3 in late 2017/early 2018 with 200+ mile range.
Thanks for another fantastic, thought-provoking piece of writing! As someone who has also dealt with periods of depression, this resonated with my experience and how I've learned to better manage my emotional state.

One reaction I had is that in my training to teach K-12, we were taught that our positive feedback should also be impersonal, specific, and temporal. This was to avoid falling into the trap of fixed mindset, even if it's more dangerous on the negative side.

And I think I personally appreciate praise that fits into that scheme. It makes me feel like the other person actually noticed and thought about the craft of what I've done, not just the outcome. The other side can feel a bit like flattery, which I distrust.

Not that I think the benefits of the other type of praise are unfounded. Just another point of view. Perhaps there's no shortcut to putting in the effort to learn the mix of styles that works for individual people and situations.

Discord is starting to reveal their ability to pull streamer communities off of Twitch.

This is most likely a bulkhead acquisition to anticipate the growth of Discord and to try and keep those same streamers in the fold.

Twitch gets the massive community reach of Curse, plus they also get all the current momentum Curse has to be a Discord competitor.

It's a fantastic acquisition, if a little defensive.

Debian is much more than just a collection of packages:

- It has a social contract, which it follows (e.g. they take software licensing seriously, developers attempt to upstream changes)

- It has many, many developers (~1000). That is, the long-term health of the project doesn't hinge on one or two people. Although more developers are always needed and welcome.

- Debian attempts to integrate packages together (e.g. the Nagios package configures Apache for you)

- Debian has a lively community around it. Companies care about it (e.g. see hardware donations, money donations for things like Debian LTS, and Valve adopting Debian).

- Debian leads the FOSS community in many initiatives (currently Reproducible builds)
Many thanks for the explanation. I hadn't quite grasped the difference between "reproducible" and "deterministic" in this context.
In that case, I'm sure there's a good survey paper and some decent places to start for interested non-experts.

Well that feels a bit like when Intel caved and put the AMD64 extensions into x86, and a bit not.

I saw an interesting draft of a white paper that was pointing out the challenge of maintaining a technical advantage when you have to fab your chips with someone else. Especially if that someone else is under the nominal influence of a nation state that is hostile to your best interests. It was arguing that either Global Foundries needed to be "aligned" with US interests and oversight, or Intel needed to be drafted as "America's chip baker." The consequence of not doing so would be to create a threat to national security where the government had no way to procure the volume and complexity of chips they would need from a source they could be 100% sure was not out to get them.

And then there was this IDF announcement.

It is amazing how hard it is to imagine building a chip company "from scratch" which includes fabrication facilities. And it is hard not to see how important such chips have become in our day to day lives.

I'm excited to try this myself because I'm kind of hoping I can ditch RescueTime! Not that I don't like it, but it's $ and they have my data. It feels weird to be running their agent on my systems, and I actually don't run it on my work machines because that's a bridge too far.
One of the points is that they didn't build a new Outlook for it, that's just crusty regular old Outlook being Outlook (in a 3D space, but Outlook might not even know that).
First of all, they've had a pretty good run so far, so the bet against that seems to have worked out.

Also, changing markets are part of the difficulty for almost all businesses. Apple would have been in serious peril of losing the business case of their ipods once everyone else was making cheaper devices with all of ipod functionality (plus phone calls!); fortunately they adapted.

Between the recent news of SpaceX shipping a test article of its Mars rocket to McGregor (the Raptor engine) and this large contract for material for its Mars Colonial Transporter, SpaceX's Mars plans are shaping nicely.

Hopefully Congress takes notice within the next few years, and funnels the money currently spent on the SLS rocket to Musk's Mars project.

My experience is:

First, there was a dramatic immediate improvement. I feel like some of that was the material, and some the "Hawthorne Effect:" Anything that forces you to inspect yourself has a short-term beneficial effect. For example, if you tell someone to count their calories, they usually eat better for a month or two simply because counting the calories forces awareness.

Second, I have slipped from time to time, and in each case, I was able to come back to health with some form of CBT.

Third, I find myself using this reasoning technique on an almost daily basis, especially on the Internet where it is easy to encounter negative people. If you look elsewhere in this discussion, you'll find me saying (somewhat flippantly) "That is your baggage, and I'm not going to carry it for you."

There is a touch of snark in that remark, but at it's root, I believe it is Seligman's theory again: I'm asserting that something negative is impersonal, and by refusing to carry it, I'm making it temporary.

This is roughly the full Dreyfus model:

(1) Novice... does not understand anything but basic knowledge in the abstract sense

(2) Competent... knows how to apply knowledge to solve concrete problems

(3) Proficient... sees how particular solutions fit into the context of different problems (i.e. what tools to use, when, and why)

(4) Expert... picks the right tool for the job without having to do careful analysis... works from intuition by pattern matching against fundamental concepts combined with past experiences.

(5) Master... picks the right tool for the job without even being consciously aware of the fact that they're "doing work" at all.

It's important to remember that all of these levels apply within specific contexts... you can be master one thing while being a novice at many other things.

But each step along the path is a gate of sorts: in that you can't really understand what it's like to be an expert in anything until you're an expert in at least one thing, and building expertise is easier when you have done it at least once.

But a big problem (which we're mentally hard wired to be biased about) is evaluating our own skills, as well as the scope of experience of others.

This is why someone with local expertise often thinks they can speak on topics outside of their actual expertise, and why people tend to believe them when they do.

"Thinking, Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman is the best book I know on that topic. Totally worth reading.
I don't understand why this was necessary given Swarm, Mesos, Kubernetes, AWS... Can someone elaborate?
I put Ford's 2021 and BMW's 2025 and so on, into the autonomy is novelty category; just like the Roomba (yes the robot vacuum cleaner). There is no possible way in that time frame that either the software, or public infrastructure, or laws and regulations, and insurance are all going to magically go "full autonomy" in major cities, let alone outside of them, in that time frame. We've been trying to do this with trains and planes for a long time and while highly automated to a degree that might surprise some people, they are not fully autonomous. And yet they don't have to share infrastructure with significantly sized objects that not only don't use the same software, but not even the same spec including fault tolerance.

And another reason why I'm gonna be a bit negative Nancy on this, is because the entire software industry sucks when it comes to software updates. About the best at it has been Apple and iOS. The worst is a toss up between the automotive industry's own proprietary navigation systems (crap UI/Ux, crap nearly non-existent ship it and forget it update) and mobile device manufacturers. There will need to be software updates for more than a decade for cars, to account for all the unknown unknowns as infrastructure and rules all change, to account for interactions with other proprietary systems, as well as humans. But this industry sucks at software updates.

Anyway, good luck with that BMW.
when designing SOC's you write your IP in verilog or vhdl, however high performance IP such as a CPU are designed specifically for certain chip process, (Intel's 10nm or TSMC's 16nm) and you don't get it in source code (verilog) instead you buy the physical IP (sometimes call hard IP) which is literally bolted to the die next to your design and wired with your design.

So, if I'm designing mobile SOC and need 2Ghz CPU in my SOC design, I check with Intel or TSMC to see if they have HardIP of that CPU that I need.
Thanks for spotting that, it's now fixed
If you like bwana, you could try my updated copy: https://bitbucket.org/tom_seddon/bwana (I've put a compiled version in the releases page - if it doesn't work, you can hopefully build it yourself)

Main improvement: man pages generated with this version include more links. Any time it spots a word that's bold, or underlined, or whatever it is - I don't remember what it was exactly - rather than just printing it that way it tries to turn it into a link to the man page by that name, if there is one.

It's an open question in philosophy (what isn't?), but isn't happiness our ultimate aim, or at least a very important component of the ultimate aim?

It's pretty easy to try to bias yourself toward happiness, but still have a daemon in the background making sure you're not diverging from reality too much. If you're very concerned about being biased, then you can probably trust yourself to be reasonable when being biased in this way.

For many of us, we're more inclined to be irrationally biased against ourselves than in favor of ourselves. The conscious, monitored, and controlled bias the OP describes can counteract our natural pessimistic inclinations.
I feel like we might be talking past each other -- conscious vs. unconscious bias is a complex issue worth discussing, but is only tangentially related to complaints about political correctness, which are all demands not for free speech, but for consequence-free speech.

I am also intensely pro-free speech. As a concrete example, I am in favor of the right of people to discuss their displeasure with someone's (freely!) stated views, and to use that speech to encourage organizations to not give a platform to views they find abhorrent.
We're looking at different aspects of the same process. Americans are afraid of life for many reasons, but one of those is that so many of us tool around in our own private climate-controlled boxes rather than inhabiting the street as pedestrians, equestrians, or cyclists. The phrase "afraid of life" certainly includes "afraid of ridiculous innumerate peer opprobrium with respect to clearly superior parenting choices", and automobiles are as much to blame for that as anything else.
To be fair a quick google search points at various similar answers. Apparently, with prolonged sitting the problem is not so much the posture, as it is inactivity. Presumably lying may be slightly better as it does not stress the back.

Personally I hate sitting and when I really have to I always tend to find the most laid down position possible on whatever chair I'm on.

One day he met the pro in person and asked why he'd done it, and the pro said, To see if the opponent's Blademaster was there.
Based on my limited knowledge, SSA form is at a higher level than AST (right?). If yes, would SSA be considered an example of HOAS?

Based on my own experience, I'd imagine that laying is hard because of the way you have to twist your neck. But, like others said, it really seems to be more about not moving around.
In this context, laying 14 hours a day in addition to sleeping ? Yes it's worse than sitting. Only thing worse would be being in zero gravity ;)

Exercise, eating, laying flat when not exercising or eating all day is not worse.

Ah, the benefits of not having to listen to shareholders. SpaceX can take long term bets, for example moving capital into exploratory programs including the proposed Mars missions, without having to justify it by profit.
#1. I am old enough and tired enough to not worry about Karma points. People are free to down-vote, I am just trying to get a point across.

#2. The article is not deep, it rings like shallow talking point of India not getting medal apologists.

#3. Incompetence from head to toe. There are multiple factors, but to simplify and make it sound like a single problem issue, the biggest impediment to Indian sports are Indian Olympic Committee and Ministry of Sports, are primarily plump political posts.

#4. No number of explanations can convince me there is a method behind the madness of 1.2 billion people that too a majority under the age of 30, cannot win one bronze medal.

To win one bronze medal, you really do not need Nike or University of Oregon track and field program. Smaller nations that are far more corrupt than India were pulling medals and India did not. This is not a one off, India has remained at the bottom of medal tally for long time, Bejing and London gave some hope because of multiple medals, and now reverting to big ZERO is disheartening and maddening at the same time.

In some ways, not a good sign. Space-X can't make and launch Falcon boosters fast enough now. They're not a big enough company to do many things in parallel.

Use more of it or buy the smaller containers.

If you find that you don't use a spice much, consider opting for a spice blend that you find more broadly appealing instead. For example, if you always keep a jar of rosemary for 3 years before using it all because you only use it on pork, replace it (and a few other herbs) with a blend like herbes de provence, which goes great on everything.

Twitch is really a phenomenon. It provides incredibly well targeted marketing to a very large demographic (gamers) and has an amazingly good public reputation because it compensates content producers extremely well by granting them free access to a large number of revenue streams that were previously unavailable.

Personally I enjoy playing competitive Overwatch and learn a lot of technical skills from watching some of the better players who stream on Twitch. I happily turn off ad block whenever I do this because I think the players deserve it.

On a psychological level I think twitch appeals to the masses because it offers a social interaction that is missing for many gamers.
Even if they don't win a contract it will certainly increase Apple's leverage. There weren't too many players in the foundry business, the addition of another will just give Apple more pricing power.
