Yes! And I think this is true of most paper authors in most fields. It has been rare in my experience to see anyone end up angry or upset about getting a correction in the mail. The majority of people who publish know that errors occur all the time, and are glad to hear about it, more so if it happens early enough to do something about it.

I'd bet the majority of recipients of statcheck's automated correction, whatever their initial reaction, appreciate and end up wanting to use this kind of a tool before publishing their next paper.

It is worth mentioning there's a large stylistic difference between receiving an unsolicited error report directly from a reader & having a nice conversation about it, and being notified that an unsolicited error report has been published and attached to your paper automatically, without review, for all to see.
Google, Facebook, and most startups are always hiring. It's unlikely all needed jobs will be simultaneously filled.
Hey Ooshma! I saw you talk live :)
We met several years ago when you were working out the enterprise version of Gobble & I was an undergrad at Stanford, but never kept in touch. Let me know if coffee in Palo Alto sometime works for you, would be great to catch up.
I'm much more worried about something like this in a check-in bag, where the fire can spread uncontrollably. At least in cabin you will notice the fire early and can use the fire extinguisher.
Well, I've been using vi and it's brethren since about 2002 and I've pretty much always used the arrow keys; after some point it becomes muscle memory...

I never really understood what the problem with this was; I rarely actually use them (esc|capslock /str,ctrl+f|b etc) is usually how I move around and if I'm wanting to move a few chars my little finger is not moving very far (at least, on apple keyboards)...

Is this heathen territory? ;)

Do you see any big advantage of using a lot of buffers/tabs/splits over running multiple vims inside tmux? My workflow seems to be more multiple vim's and shells inside tmux (I have ` as my "control key" in tmux, which is right beside z on my keyboard) which always feels quicker to me than ctrl+ww or ctrl+w<arrow>; and I really like the "zoom" functionality there...

hitting `` to switch between windows in tmux is really nice, too.. :}

Google's original 'unlimited' was 16MP, and the pixel makes 12MP images, so wouldn't it be within the original limit by default.

If the pixel makes 4K videos, then that would be over the original unlimited limit.
Whatever the reason, makes me wonder why would anyone try to do this. I mean, I know where it is - I can drive there and take a picture if I wanted to. But bluring out one particular house on a normal street is kind of like the story (I believe from one of the Sherlock Holmes books) about a guard telling the detective about all of the town, apart from one house, where he hid the body.
but this sounds to me like the author is inviting us to solve SF homelessness using technology.

Technology can be enormously useful in this space. I am homeless and I make money online in part by blogging, in part by doing freelance work.

You want to do some good in San Francisco in this space, let me suggest you start a San Francisco version of The San Diego Homeless Survival Guide -- listing important resources like where to get free food if you need it, as well as free electricity and wifi -- and then also give away free tablets to homeless people in the area.

http://sandiegohomelesssurvivalguide.blogspot.com/

I used the internet to research my next city and moved from San Diego more than a year ago and my quality of life has been better ever since. My health is better, my income is trending up and if I can come up with $7.5 to $10k in the next few weeks, I am planning to buy a house.

Technology can do wonder to provide gig work, low cost access to information that is valuable on the street and help homeless people become digital nomads and start soling their own problems and pulling themselves up by the bootstraps -- instead of becoming trapped in shitty homeless programs that you treat you worse than an animal.
Manufacturing has a history of high growth and employment. Services do not. Economically, service domination means an overall slow-growth economy. Even highly intellectual services do not come close to the historic growth / employment curve the nation enjoyed when it was dominated by manufacturing. Wealth distribution is also heavily-weighted toward to the top with services. Generally democracies fare better when wealth is more broadly-held.
You're of course correct that it doesn't justify the questionable actions. But it shows that it's a much bigger problem than one company... Is there some reason such issues happen all of these multiple companies? Can we do anything about that so that other companies don't also start doing this?

Google Scholar, Google Books, and Google Earth data for researchers existed before the Google Assistant was even an idea.

Not sure what your point is, either: do you want to get a notification in the morning saying "try to leave early today, as an accident has caused increased traffic," along with another one saying "remember to save to buy an electric car"?
That's actually pretty much what Cydia for iOS is.
I don't get this argument.

There is no new standard here. This is just a tool that says, "is there anything that looks like a mathematical/statistical mistake".

The expectation that a paper's calculations are correct and error free is one that has always existed.

There is no "thinking of the day", there is just mathematical correctness or not. At most you could argue that we might learn that some thing we thought mathematically true is no longer so, and warrants us reviewing papers where it had previously been used, but that is not the case here.

It is not unreasonable to hold published research to the standard of correctness, and if a paper contains errors within its calculations these should be fixed - regardless of when or who published it.
The votes that can turn the tide in this election are those in the rust belt. Manufacturing is the key word that gets their attention. I believe that's why. All other reasons are secondary. It was about the financial crisis in 2008 and Bain Capital in 2012 which ended up affecting manufacturing jobs.
HTC, You Loser
The article title, "No one knows how many patients are dying from superbug infections in California hospitals", is more accurate. The hospitals do know their superbug mortalities; that they aren't compelled to report them to the state, nor is the state tasked to publicize such data and report the scope of the problem, makes for poor public health policy.
There is a lot more dignity of work in manufacturing. You're not servicing some old person who can afford to have a home health aid--you're making a product for people to buy (including other people like you).
Redux, and the case for function tree
In their eyes, it's more like "we give you 70% of OUR sells in OUR platform, to OUR captive customers, they just happen to buy your App but they will buy something else if we want to ban you..."

It's a matter of perspective. In their eyes, they are being incredibly generous with that deal.
Either way, mapping the arrow keys to <nop> seems wasteful. In normal mode I map up/down to :cprevious/:cnext and left/right to :colder/:cnewer, which makes error list navigation effortless. Some other good targets are the buffer, tag and location lists (with a little work you could make them context-aware too). I don't remap the arrow keys in insert mode though, it'd be annoying to have to exit insert mode only to move the cursor a few characters.

Flashes in the pan, and more shine than substance -- most of them.
"Newborn females arrive from local dairies and spend their first 180 days at Calf Source — first in one of 4,896 hutches, like the ones seen here, and then in larger group pens. Trucks pass down each of 72 rows, dispensing water and milk. After a transfer to Heifer Source, another facility owned by the Milk Source company, the cows are inseminated and then returned — seven months pregnant, and just under 2 years old — to the dairies they came from."

They only spend a small part of their life there. And they're cows, so they're not used for meat.

Hi Ooshma! -- you mentioned in your talk that you + team did things that didn't scale to delight existing users and acquire new ones. Kevin Hale brought this up during his Startup School lecture, writing Christmas cards to all of their users, but referenced a user writing to him the following year asking when he would receive this year's xmas card.

When deciding what "non-scalable thing" you were going to do, did you ever wonder: will this come back and bite me in the butt when I can no longer do this with a large user-base because of either time or monetary restraints?
Because this is the work people who didn't go to college or uni can do and make a "middle class income" with a little vocational training (no real maths needed).

Same as why the mittelstand is so important.
Because millions of people have been affected. This means votes. If you can promise some bullshit and they buy it, you got votes. Lots of them.

Contrary to popular belief, politicians only care about their own enrichment and careers. They couldn't give one iota about the needs of the people. They want votes. They'll say anything they have to say to get them. They'll do anything they have to do to get them. And one in office they'll do nothing for the people who voted for them. This is true world wide and it isn't any different in the US.
Take this question for what it is-- I'm not blaming the victim here-- but how much responsibility do small and nameless developers bear for making a deal with the devil to begin with? Don't they go into this knowing that Apple can at any time capriciously cut them off from the sole means of distribution of their product at will?

I get that there is money to be made on the iOS app store-- but why is there a willingness to set up shop in a town where if one of the local officials doesn't like you-- for any reason-- he or she can effectively confiscate your hard-made product so you can't sell it anywhere else and kick you outside the walls?
Getting these things corrected can actually be quite difficult. I regularly get emails from an optician in another state. I have replied multiple times that they are sending information to the wrong person, but they continue to do so. Fortunately this has never included detailed health information, but merely revealing a patient relationship with a specific medical provider can be a breach.

In another instance I was getting emails about an account someone created with American Express using my email address. I sent multiple emails to their customer support to get them to stop sending financial information to the wrong person with no results. In this I also found it difficult to even figure out what agency to report them to for failing to take action when notified. Eventually I took the time to call them. It took around 20 minutes (not counting time on hold) of talking to multiple people to get them to remove the email address from the account. This included them asking me several times for my social security number - which I flatly refused to provide since I had zero business relationship with them. This refusal actually seemed to confuse them.
The Clearest Evidence yet That Apple, Inc. Might Be Working on an ARM-Based Mac
Actually while they're useful, they're not that useful.

The point is that being able to divide the day up into 10 chunks, which is just about the only thing we can't yet evenly divide it up into[+], is even less useful.

It's certainly less useful than the gargantuan international effort it would take to change one arbitrary system for another.

Go through the CPSC to initiate a recall properly instead of trying to do a fly-by-night recall that confuses all of phone providers. Give people actual information about why, how, and when these batteries fail instead of just nebulously blaming the batteries that came from your own factory. Don't ship people replacement phones that still spontaneously ignite.
Eh, without the apps the phone wouldn't sell in those numbers. In their eyes they are dependent on the devs.
Manufacturing also provides jobs for both high and low skill workers. As such can be seen as more valuable to a community than say, a software company that only hires engineers and a CS center in a different state. Manufacturing was one of the best roads for a low skill worker to earn good money and move up the rung economically - something that only seems to be getting harder as time goes on.
> If these are attitudes typical of psychology, then I cannot say I consider psychology to be a proper social science.

In my experience, such attitudes are typical. Here's a 2014 paper by a Harvard psychology professor who tries to argue that null replication results shouldn't be taken seriously because the failure to replicate ipso facto indicts the study's methods:

http://jasonmitchell.fas.harvard.edu/Papers/Mitchell_failed_...

Quote: "Because experiments can be undermined by a vast number of practical mistakes, the likeliest explanation for any failed replication will always be that the replicator
bungled something along the way ... The field of social psychology can be improved, but not by the publication of negative findings."

But the fundamental issue with taste is that of varieties and of soil quality. It is completely false that the use of fertilizer and pesticide (even from a factory) when judiciously used, will affect the soil quality more adversely than organic cultivation.

I would argue, that using some pesticide and fertilizer is BETTER than pure organic methods, because you will not only grow delicious crops, you will have the luxury of trying some varieties which, while delicious, are too sensitive to disease to exploit commercially otherwise.

Edit:

There are many methods championed by organic farmers that do produce tastier food. But those methods are not tied to not using fertilizers and pesticides from factories. And while I credit them with introducing those methods. Those methods can be hybridized with the use of fertilizer and pesticide to get both yield and taste up.

In the case of meat, its clear that factory farmed chicken is garbage. Free range chicken tastes much better. We can use some scientific methods to discover what makes the free range chicken taste better, rather than accepting like religion that just putting them in a free roam yard is the reason for the flavor.
And we've lost the dynamic library battle. I understand why but can't help being saddened by it, it was such an elegant solutions.
What about when someone was (permanently) transferred between ships?

Was there ever an indication that their AI-level data was transferred along with their personnel file? For example did the replicator know what food to offer them on day one?

If so, then it's seems reasonable to assume that the Enterprise's AI data was backed up at Federation HQ during routine maintenance, and that the "IT department" at Federation knew exactly what you liked to do on the Holodeck.

You have other means to distribute your app w/Android, including self-distribution. It's an uphill climb to be sure, but there are apps who do that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but iOS doesn't offer that opportunity as sideloading and non-Apple markets are not possible unless you jailbreak your device
The memory is that these old factory/manufacturing jobs were high paying (middle class), secure, and accessible to people of low intellect, minimal education, and limited social grace.

The proposed replacements "caregivers, retail workers and customer-service representatives" are significantly lower wage and also require more "EQ" that the working man of the prior generation didn't need. The voters these politicians are addressing are working from a memory of a time when "men were men", that worked hard in a physical way to produce a physical product; in the memory, these working men didn't think and didn't emote, they produced.

Now, the voter says, men have been "feminized" by being forced out of a productive, provider role where a single income could support the family. Instead, they are placed into a role where they need to express concern, care, and use soft skills instead of physical strength.

And when they want the same pay and security they had before, they are instead told to "learn to code" (or learn whatever, get an education). Which is easy for a coastal educated person to say, but to a line of family men who have not just eschewed education but actively resisted it, this is a tough pill to swallow.
Not sure why this is being down-voted: it's pretty well established that service economies have limited potential to export or achieve economies of scale, and thus unable to benefit from expanding global trade.

Would it significantly harm your experience if all your programs turned off after 1000 years of execution without input?

If not, your program could be "total" in most of the useful senses, and subparts could have tighter bounds, without any harm.
Hopefully you guys have ECC on your 64MB of SRAM, otherwise the meant time to bit flip due to Single Event Upset (SEU) is around 400 days ( based on 200 Fit/Mb/Billion Hours from previous experience ).
There's a finite demand for manufactured goods too. If anything, the price elasticity for manufactured goods seems likely to be lesser than that for restaurant meals; I'd eat out more often if it cost less, but I'm not going to buy additional dishwashers or dining tables for my house no matter how cheap they get. I'm not going to buy light bulbs or printers faster than they need replacement due to failure. With laser printers and LED bulbs, that can be several years between purchases.
Trond Norbye and I were also pretty involved with the memcached project, both joined NorthScale and we're both still part of Couchbase. Trond in particular did a lot of work on the server and I did a lot of work with the java client and helping people.

Steve Yen was doing a lot and fixing bugs and wrote moxi, a memcached proxy that was very useful in the early days.

With the CouchOne merger, we moved a lot of the proxy topology independence into clients and added a lot more.
Is it me, or is this technology really scary? I mean it is cool and everything, but what good can come out of it? On the other hand, bad scenarios easily come to mind, like: "Lets drone him, he can't hide because we have it all mapped, inside out". Am I paranoid?

There absolutely is a finite number of factories.

There's probably even a finite, though perhaps quite large, limit on the number of factories that can exist (at least, within Earth's future light cone.)

The third trade off is cycle time; the larger the memory, the longer it takes to access it. This is why L1 caches are typically 16-64 KiB and despite that access is typically 2-3 cycles. However, 3+ cycles is difficult to hide in an in-order processor like this.

> unless you increase the population.

That doesn't help either. If you are increasing population without that population having wealth (and generally the wealthier you are the fewer kids you have) you dilute the distributed wealth of the poor to the point where they no longer have the economic influence to warrant hiring shelf stockers or burger flippers because they have no money.

> There are already a number of prototype burger making robots, for instance.

The automation of service is not coming in the form of robots doing a service workers job, its computers obsoleting the service. It is the same thing trying to make the "perfect" veggie burger vs learning to love naturally vegan dishes.

It is companies like Amazon that are displacing service workers by the thousands. There is so much potential revenue to be made and costs to be saved by having a wholly automated supply chain, and eventually you are having your burgers air dropped on demand by drone rather than having to go anywhere in a self driving taxi to get the burger. The logistics of service will... are... changing fundamentally, constantly, every day, progressing towards those eventualities.

It is not a problem tax rates or "American grit" solve. It requires a rethinking of your economic system when you finally accept reality that swathes of productive gains are not being made by the sweat of a single human being, at which point the fruits of those labors are no longer compatible with traditional laissez faire capitalism.
