well what most people don't realize is that unless its first class it really never has to get there. My mother used to publish a dog breed magazine for the national club. So they used the special rates reserved for magazines and such.

there were times where the bins she brought to the PO were left on the loading docks. Once an entire bin was waterlogged so the PO just tossed it. Let alone no guarantee what state the magazines arrive in, hence its why you find some plastic wrapped or with a brown paper wrapper.

even your local distribution centers and individual post offices can affect the timeliness of deliveries. even most two day mail is not really a guarantee. You are more likely to get an Amazon package delivered by the PO on a Sunday than two day priority or similar.
I use monoid homomorphisms extensively in xi-editor, and have a couple of slides on it at my RustConf talk earlier this month. I hope to be writing up the ideas in more detail soon (both what I've implemented, and speculative explorations such as doing incremental syntax highlighting).

Boy, I sure hope I'm helping someone really sad feel better about themselves. Downvote away, it's not going to change a damn thing.
But, if you have a genetic advantage, you still do. Everyone starting at the same time, some are clearly in a different class. I guess the marathon analogy with regard to socioeconomic opportunity, then, is this: everyone gets to start at the same time, has to run the same distance, but not over the same course...some have the chance to purchase a downhill run; some can only afford a path of gently waving hills and valleys; others have no choice but to take the canyon route complete with stoplights and none of the ordinary traffic blocked for their course. Though 26.2 miles downhill is still hard, it's not as hard as some of the other courses available.
>> Amazon will award the winning team $500,000.

>This is hugely under-paid for a worthy winner. AI startups are sold way more these days; Amazon would benefit tremendously from a novel technique in that domain.

They're not paying for a startup with developed tech, established PhD researchers, and a business plan; they're paying students to do research for a year.
Assuming a team of 5, $100K/year is very competitive in the academic world unless the students are at the stage of their career where Google recruiters are calling them every day.
The likely result of this is something that will have interesting results and maybe a nice demo but will need further refinement in the industry apparatus in order to reach the market.

>> Additionally, a prize of $1 million will be awarded to the winning team’s university if their socialbot achieves the grand challenge of conversing coherently and engagingly with humans on popular topics for 20 minutes.

> This emphasizes further how much those students would be ripped off. Their success is valued at half that of their university, even though they are already paying heavily for that university.

Indeed, this definitely points to the larger imbalance in academic research finance.
My university takes a huge proportion of the grant money that faculty win, and reduces aid for graduate students if they independently acquire outside scholarship money.
You're both missing the point here. Both things are conceptually equivalent:

- Select(db, somekey, someparameters) [return some db object]

- http_get_query(http://service.com/somekey/someparameters [return some JSON]

They are external (micro)service:

- they both need the target system to be available.

- they both may fail in weird and unexpected ways.

- they both need to handle failure gracefully.

Their usage have different properties:

- A database call need to have a permanent connection pool to the database, usually requiring db user and password.

- A http call is just call and forget. It's a lot easier to use, in any applications, at any time.

I downvoted you because of (1.). The change in CO2 measurements should not be compared to a "baseline" of 0ppm, because that is not the baseline. It should be compared to the time-average value before, together with what the standard deviation used to be. So, looking at wikipedia, if the range since year 0 used to be ~260—280 (not sure what it was), your figure of 4% would be a wildly misleading way to present the subsequent change to 400. The baseline for CO2 is not zero.
Here's a dry, boring presentation of the data[0] (with a 'world average' tab as well as Mauna.) My understanding is that CO2 is close enough to well-mixed that levels are consistent at most measuring sites but Mauna one of the longest continuous same-site record and is relatively isolated [1].

The best record keeping we have is that humanity has always lived in with CO2 in the 300's [2], it will now be in the 400's until sometime quite fundamental changes (or, at current rates, it goes into the 500's in 40-50 years) [2, linear extrapolation].

You didn't respond to his assertion.

The drugs we have are warped by the abilities of people to make money off them. In fact, we can point to many "dead ends" where companies marketed drugs that were more expensive and worse than existing treatments.

I've personally witnessed a company taking an ingestable pill and turning it into a nurse-administered injection, just so they could take advantage of reimbursement. Same drug, but the patient suffers just so they can make more money.

The total budget of the DHHS is irrelevant. Only money that goes to researching unprofitable drugs would counter the assertion of the OP.
Wikipedia describes three ways of modeling GDP: production, income, and expenditure. A traffic jam means more production of fuel (and vehicles, accounting for wear and tear), more income for fuel producers and mechanics, and higher expenditures (fuel, wear and tear, and radio ads); GDP rises on all three measures. Free time does not contribute to GDP; neither does use of accumulated capital.
Why do you think I'm claiming its simple?

The Democrats could barely get a health care bill through in 2009, a health care bill that was based on a Republican plan. Ballooning health care costs were an issue throughout all the 2000s, which nearly everybody agreed needed to be addressed in some manner. The concept of Democrats also being able to also push through a carbon tax at that time is absolutely ludicrous. Try convincing the average Republican that climate change is 1) happening, 2) caused by humans, 3) addressable without destroying the economy. We can't even get broad consensus that there is a problem, much less on a solution.
Sure, giving the password to an application is a mess. Because if the application is compromised, the attacker now has the application's sudo password (ie, the vuls user's password, not the root password), and that's a bad deal. But just having it NOPASSWORD wide open is strictly worse. A knee-jerk reaction is to avoid passwords because it's another attack surface that can be broken open, but in this case just getting rid of it is strictly worse. With SSH, disabling password auth is turning the locked door into a solid brick wall. With this, NOPASSWORD is taking the door off the hinges because you are afraid of someone picking it.

The thermal forcing is just the input to the model. What we'd really like to know is the climate sensitivity -- how does a given forcing affect Earth's temperature?

All questions about the legitimacy of climate science are questions about whether simulations of the earth's atmosphere ("general circulation models") can be validated or have predictive power, at least with realistic computing resources.

However, the big-O question is an interesting reflection on the ratio between how much scientific communication effort goes into influencing the public, versus educating the public.

There is also not much funding available for studying positive impacts of global warming. Scientists have known about the Arrhenius effect for over a century, and in pre-WWII texts the treatment is generally "isn't it cool that burning fossil fuels not only gives us power and light, but is good for agriculture and might prevent the next ice age?" The past is a foreign country, and in that country it was generally assumed that warm periods were good for humans and cold ones were bad. (Mostly because ag yields.) They didn't even really think about it -- and nor do we think much about it, either. Plus ca change...

Remember that a brickwall band pass filter (low, high, or anywhere else) is equivalent to convolution with this https://www.dsprelated.com/josimages_new/mdft/img1768.png in the spatial domain. Any time quantization is high enough for coefficients in a given band to become zero while the surrounding ones remain nonzero it will introduce at least some level of ringing.

wyager accurately described why in terms of the DCT though -- cosines naturally "ring" and the only way a non-sinusoid can be represented is through the combination of many other terms, so any time a coefficient contributing to this shape is eliminated, the structure "decays" so to speak and the underlying sinusoids become part of the reconstruction.

This is a great comment.

If you really have a true hard tech company with a solid idea, you are probably much better approaching industry partners than going the VC route.

If it is that good, you might not even have to sacrifice hardly any equity at all.

That's what I'm trying to do right now.

We are focusing on telecoms, utilities and large electronics corporates as strategic partners.

Early days, but so far seems like a good strategy.
Sometimes, knowing that you have no fallback position, can be motivating. Someone growing up in a cushy life may never be motivated to try very hard at anything. Someone growing up with hardship may be highly motivated to create a better life for themselves.

For comparison, when Boston got record snow and everybody froze to death in early 2015, the temperature was:

> ... the average temperature [of Boston] in February [2015] was 19.0 °F (−7.2 °C), which was 12.7 °F (7.1 °C) below the 1981–2010 normal, making it the second-coldest month of any month all-time, behind February 1934.

So the average temperature in Feb 2015 was 266K, only 2.6% below the normal value of 273K. Sheesh.

Measuring change in absolute percentage is misleading, when your chance of survival strongly depends on it being in a narrow prescribed range.

(You die if your body temperature increases by 2%.)
> Making software easy to use fully from the get-go only means making it not do much.

False dichotomy. It is absolutely possible to write modern mass-market software and also offer complex functionality that wouldn't be needed by the average user. It is good practice from a UX perspective to avoid surfacing advanced features unless the user is actively looking for them (in your example, that's the experienced user).

I like the graph, though.
I'm sure we're quite a few years away from the possibility of a POTUS admitting to being an atheist.
There is hope for international collaboration on this, however. The Paris climate agreement is an excellent step. We can't let it be sabotaged in the US by short-sighted, pandering, lying politicians. Such as those that believe that the Chinese invented the concept of climate change to sabotage us.
If it still features human responders then it will probably suffer the same issues. Maybe we can train neural networks to answer programming problems?

I use qubes on my primary work machine. Most of my activity comes out of one of a few whonix vms.

It's a bit of a hill to climb, but I'm really happy with the result. If I need to visit an untrusted website or install some garbage dependencies to try out a new app, all I have to do is clone my current VM and install it in that.

I've been using it exclusively for about 3 weeks. I have compartmentalized my personal, work, and 'Taek' lives, and even further important things like bank account logins live in their own VM. Bitcoin in its own VM.

It's a lot of peace of mind. My key information has never been on the same AppVM as a web browser. The vast majority of security compromises these days come from web browsers. My password manager isn't even connected to the internet.

The transition reminds me a lot of the transition I went through when I switched to using exclusively Linux (from Windows). Some things are more annoying. Some things you can't really do anymore. Some things are nicer, and some things are a lot nicer. I'm not switching back, I'll be on Qubes from here on out.

It took me maybe a full week to get integrated. That week was very low productivity, but now I'm getting back into the groove. Qubes has i3 support, which for me was going to be a dealbreaker. But... they support it (kde, xfce, and i3) and that made me feel like I was at home.

I recommend it, but it's definitely only for power users at this point.
I'm not sure what to tell you there. I actually don't think that's the case about some of that stuff... but I get it. I think Microsoft didn't really get how hard it was to run a large network of windows machines until they had to do it themselves.

Nano does support the entire windows ecosystem through containers running server core. There really aren't major apps that won't run on server core. Even if they need the GUI to install you can remove it afterwards and most apps will run just fine.

I don't think many people have an attitude of "we need to recognize built-in advantages, and should call out people who try to play down or hide them" to benefit themselves - it's an attitude and position adopted to try to benefit those without those advantages. E.g. by showing a beneficial side of certain social safety net policies, or the downside of the default position becoming graduating with massive amounts of student debt, etc.

I could do without nontrivial tax code.
Looks like that's true; I hadn't come across the early history of debtors' prisons, and had always thought of them as an early-modern thing.

It looks like Reason.com argues that pay-for-service modern law is equivalent to debtors' prison, but I haven't heard of libertarians supporting the restoration of proper debtors' prison (where the state imprisons someone for failing to pay a debt to a non-state contracting party). Of course, there's no canonical list of libertarian principles, so I'm sure some do support that...

As for the Middle Ages, I'd still recommend the books I mentioned; they make a number of interesting references to village law, and the right of peasant farmers (both serfs, who owed labor service, and freemen, who owed rent) to self-regulate.

_A Farewell to Alms_ mentions that farmland in the Middle Ages returned 10% per annum at basically zero risk in England and relatively little on the Continent (the only risks being war and bad harvests); if libertarianism wants to return to that economic arrangement, perhaps with the US government selling bonds returning 10% adjusted for inflation, then perhaps it has a silver lining.

Life on Earth would continue but it would not be sapient.

Why nuclear war? Global warming/heating will cause drastic resource shortages... people go to war when they can't feed themselves. An unstable world increases the probability of nuclear war, especially accidental nuclear war.
Perhaps I should've given less dramatic examples than Notre Dame and the Louvre: stone cities, stone bridges, houses that have been inhabited since the 16th century, that sort of thing -- things we don't have in the US.

I can't comment on the rest of the US, but I'm seriously considering emigrating to Europe at some point, for the sake of long-term stability. The US might be in a very bad situation 300 years from now; I doubt that France, Germany, or the northern parts of Spain and Italy will.

That's not a meme. People using statically typed languages want compile time safety, not heavy reflection and ad hoc type creation at run time like in Go. I'm not interested in having to use void pointers everywhere just to get a bit of code reuse. Go type system is shitty, its authors know it, but they are too arrogant to acknowledge that fact publicly.

The first address I recognized is the Shell station just down the street from my Grandfather's house. It's not a very nice neighborhood anymore (a planned freeway just to the south was canceled back in the 1980's, and all the houses that had been taken by eminent domain were auctioned off. The new tenants didn't take care of their neighborhoods like the owners used to).

Some of the stations are in rather well-to-do areas. 4995 N Granite Reef Rd in Scottsdale is a Shell station too, and is pretty close to downtown Scottsdale. Lots of Circle K's - most of these stores are corporate, but a few are franchises.

I usually paid cash for my gas, and I haven't been skimmed. I brought up 'skimming' at my credit union the other day, when I deposited to savings rather than checking, and the teller said it's a problem for them in the Phoenix area.

Edit: Looking into it more, these aren't little Mom-And-Pop gas stations, they're mostly Circle K's (corporate) and franchises of big-name energy companies - lots of Shell and Valero franchises.
