This seems to be the thing people ignore, as the Tampa region has a fairly bustling tech scene, and due to proximity with SOCOM at MacDill AFB, more seem to be coming all the time. You could say, "Wow look at all this tech activity, 100 head engineering offices are opening and such-and-such acquisition was so huge, blah blah" but, this is all strictly within the scope of people who are local. I've never met anyone from the Valley area who has come into Tampa and said, "Holy shit you guys are like a tiny Silicon Valley!" -- though sometimes they are somewhat surprised to find out companies like Chase, AmEx, or Neilsen have large engineering offices here.

There's intentionally nothing like Silicon Valley because the Valley has a literal firehose of the most brilliant engineers constantly flowing into it. When Atlanta, or Tampa, ends up with a brilliant engineer with vision and drive, it's mostly out of luck or coincidence.

Also I think it's important to keep in mind that it's a bit anachronistic to draw such a strong distinction between science and religion. In those days they were much more strongly related. Science and understanding the universe was likened to developing a better understanding of God. Therefore religious logic and "internal logic" (rational and empirical) would hold similar weight.

Are there really millions of engineers who will have a successful career at Google, or are there only a hundred or so every year?

There are millions of programmers, most of which will never get a job at Google. Is their time perhaps better spent optimizing their existing careers instead of doing "dumb" things for a chance at the gold-plated goose?
Many persons who were very serious about religious faith in that time period, e.g. Catholic priests, also had great enthusiasm for rigorous mathematics and scientific advancement.

For example, Fr. Paul Gudin, a Jesuit priest, was a mathematician and astronomer. He was interested in and supportive of the work of Johannes Kepler and provided him with a telescope when Kepler was experiencing financial difficulties[+].

To add to this, the hyperextension you are describing can be done in reverse too. There is a proper machine for it, called, unsurprisingly, the 'reverse hyper' but they are rare.

I work in academia. Funding is always scarce. It does not come out of the sky.

Example: If the grant says that all proposal text must be in 11 point Times New Roman font, and you do 12 point Times New Roman, in the trash you go.

People giving vast sums of money want to make sure every penny is carefully spent.

As for crowdsourcing research, well, go for it. It's just that we already have a method for this. It's called "taxes."

Edit: inevitable tax argument deflection: the vast majority of the US federal budget is, as Thomas L Friedman put it, "an insurance company with a military." Research as a portion is teensy-tiny. Our society could easily fund federal research - "we" just choose not to.
The ceramics teacher announced on opening day that he was dividing the class into two groups. All those on the left side of the studio, he said, would be graded solely on the quantity of work they produced, all those on the right solely on its quality. His procedure was simple: on the final day of class he would bring in his bathroom scales and weigh the work of the "quantity" group: fifty pound of pots rated an "A", forty pounds a "B", and so on. Those being graded on "quality", however, needed to produce only one pot -- albeit a perfect one -- to get an "A". Well, came grading time and a curious fact emerged: the works of highest quality were all produced by the group being graded for quantity. It seems that while the "quantity" group was busily churning out piles of work - and learning from their mistakes -- the "quality" group had sat theorizing about perfection, and in the end had little more to show for their efforts than grandiose theories and a pile of dead clay.

I pride myself on my pancake-making ability, and I completely agree with you: The pan is usually not hot enough. What I like to do is use Kerrygold butter, turn the heat on the burner higher than it should be, and wait until just before the butter starts to burn. Remove the pan from the heat, turn the burner down, and put your first batch in the pan. Also, make note of the temperature settings you use for next time.

Perfect batches with no waste!

Mitigating risks is more a matter of reducing costs than delivering value. I mean customers don't care when your employees take vacation and in many cases might not care whether your app uses Ruby or .NET or Cobol.

If the goal is to determine which delivers more value, then the place to start is by measuring value...and that means deciding what constitutes value and building systems to measure it. But really, this seems like a cultural decision and while cultural decisions can create and destroy value within a company they don't deliver it to customers. Even worse, they are hard and don't have a right answer and if you get it wrong good people leave and if you get it really wrong it's hard to hire good people to replace them. Even getting it right means that good people might leave.

And people might not leave for the first order reasons. A Rubyist might leave because a .NET developer left because the choice was Ruby and that didn't sit right with the Ruby developer.

Anyway, if people going on holiday is a staffing problem then the problem is not enough staff or adequate management planning. It is not Ruby versus .NET: it is a management problem.

Good luck.
To be fair, the Church's influence in what we would call science back then was incredibly powerful. I think its unrealistic to see 17th century science as this secular institution like we have today. Of course the 'scientists' of the age followed a church friendly narrative. It was in their interests to do so. I think we will never really understand the chill on speech and research the Church had during the medieval and later periods. I would say its significant considering that the ancient Greeks (Aristarchus of Samos) were able to figure out the heliocentric model, arguably because they didn't have a large Christian Church structure working against them.

I find that modern revisionism to make religion seem less villainous is fairly common nowadays. I don't know where this is coming from or why its on social media so frequently, but its concerning. I think splitting hairs to make the Church look good is a questionable narrative and a form of feel good politics for certain religious people and certain types of habitual contrarians the internet is so fond of. I imagine we're witnessesing a pendulum shift towards more religiosity considering how the west has swung the other way for so long.

Regardless, its still wrong and the hundreds years of fighting to secularize science and to progress past religiously acceptable models wasn't done because Locher was a bad guy, but because the Pope and and the religious establishment was, regardless of the individual merits of the many monks and priests, who ultimately had to tow the party line regardless of their own findings, mathematical skills, or opinions. Blasphemy was certainly a serious charge back then. The wonderful thing about secular science is that there's no serious punishment for being wrong or going against the grain, flawed as it may be. The worst you can expect is being punched by Buzz Aldrin and even then you really have to earn that.

It has not improved much. It has added some superficial things. But I am afraid that the worst part of the language is still very much alive.

>No compilation, no deployment, not even any need to have two files open at once; just stick a couple of lines of PHP into an HTML file, hit reload, and you're there.

>And it is really good at providing server-side programming to a web site with the utter minimum of work

This is exactly the problem with the language. It lets you cuts corners when those corners are there for a reason. For example, look at the ease of deployment that you have mentioned. For a novice, this will be appealing. But for someone with experience with web applications, it might look appalling that you can map urls directly to execute arbitrary files in a directory.

This theme is found throughout the language. In an attempt to make work easier for novices and to make it easy to work with data send from html forms, the language has been packed with so much weird behaviors that you need to learn before you can build stuff in php with any sort of confidence.

And that is just the tip of the iceberg....

According to the poster, the growth rate is 20% not 5%. Either way, to ball park acquisition price, you can divide growth rate by 10, add 1, then multiply in yearly revenue ((growth% / 10 + 1) * revenue). You can also divide growth rate by 10, double it, then multiply in yearly revenue ((growth% / 10 * 2) * revenue). Those estimates assume profit margins of 30%, so if you want to have it all be a multiple of profit, then divide the multiple by 0.3, then multiply that into yearly profit ((growth% / 10 + 1) / .3 * profit --or-- growth% / 10 * 2 / .3 * profit).
I wonder how useful this actually is. Since I like my current, remote-based job, I have tried to signal to recruiters that I'm not interested. In the "Advice for Contacting" section, I state: "I am currently satisfied in my current job and am not actively looking. I am not interested in positions that would require relocation. I would only be interested in positions that allow for remote work, preferably with an predominantly remote-based team."

I figure this says no while still leaving a window open for any other remote based jobs. But that gets ignored and I still get all sorts of recruiter spam sent my way through linkedin. I am pretty sure that even if I outright stated "do not contact me with employment opportunities", I would still receive quite a bit.

Now, if I was looking, I'd have a different advice there and I wouldn't call it "recruiter spam". It hardly seems that recruiters need an invitation to send you opportunities, and difficult to discourage them.

My understanding was the sun is orbiting around a constantly (though subtly) shifting point because of the complex interactions of all the planets that orbit it. Each planet orbiting the sun alone would have a different barycenter. Put them all together and you get a much more complex picture. Correct me if I'm wrong.
It's barycenters all the way down.

> The 2012 NDAA policy you're citing requires the detainee to be a member of Al Qaeda.

No, they don't either in principal (the application in the text is much broader than specifically al-Qaeda -- it includes al-Qaeda, the Taliban, "associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners", and other who commit a belligerent act against the US or its coalition partners that is seen to be "in aid to" those organizations), nor in practice, because the specific allegations justifying the detention need not be disclosed, nor even the specific detention publicly disclosed, and detentions under the act, while they permit trial by military tribunal, do not require any juridical process or access to counsel to be provided -- that's rather the point of indefinite detention -- there's essentially no practical boundary to their application (if some sympathetic third party becomes aware of the detention, its possible they might be the subject of habeas corpus proceedings, which would require some showing that there was reason to believe that the person was within the fairly broad scope in the text of the act, but that's by no means a certainty in any particular detention.)
I like that term 'information snacks'! That's an excellent descriptor.
Can't really agree with you there.

There are comments that are superior to the article they're responding to. There are books that are better off not being read at all. Forums also serve a few purposes that raw reading material cannot.

I think moralizing the activity brings with it the peril that you may start feeling good about consuming information the "right" way, and feel bad about consuming it the "wrong" way, while what you should really care about is the information itself. How you get it doesn't really matter.

Granted, I don't see anything particularly virtuous or advantageous about cooking your own food, either, so perhaps we're at an impasse...

The Cause of Insulin Resistance
What’s gumming up the door locks on our muscle cells, preventing insulin from letting glucose in?

It’s fat. Intramyocellular lipids, or the fat inside our muscle cells.

Fat in the bloodstream can build up inside the muscle cell and create toxic fatty breakdown products and free radicals that can block the insulin signaling process. When that happens, no matter how much insulin we have in our blood, it won’t be able to open the glucose gates. That causes blood sugar levels to build up in the blood.

You're responding to me as if I'm justifying the indefinite detention clause of the NDAA. I am not. I am saying it does not apply here, and none of the additional color you've provided changes that --- that there are other parties named in current live AUMF's doesn't make this doofus contractor a member of one of them.

You might also look at Obama's signing statement of the NDAA for more evidence for that argument.
I'm sure there is an average center that is implied by the repeating pattern of the plot I posted.
That's actually a really interesting suggesting for further study. It's probably possible. I don't know if the research has been done though. The discovery of the "taste bud" proteins in the gut was a fairly new when I did my project 5 years ago. I don't have journal access so keeping up to date is fairly difficult.

Side note, I made a video for it as part of my senior capstone. I often think about making an updated version. For one thing, I'm not sure if everything in it is correct. On top of that, I was incredibly tired, because the only time I could reserve the space I needed was after midnight. I also flubbed a few lines and lost all my b-roll, so editing was a nightmare. In any case, here's the video I did:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8ZGSBi0OFwM

There are so many things I'd like to change about that video.

My graduating class was the first one at my college that was required to perform a senior capstone to graduate, so everything was done by the seat of my pants. I learned later that the Biology department actually used my project as the example for what they wanted all projects to be like. It's far from perfect, but my goal was to take what I had learned and share the information in a way the general public could understand.

I was a little overambitious. I learned later that several professors thought I wasn't going to graduate. (I wish I had known that at the time, I would have been doubly motivated.) I'm pretty jealous of the younger students, they turned an old building in to a film studio for producing videos like this. My rig was a bunch of halogen work lights and the best camera I could afford at the time (read: really terrible).

The capstone project is why I'm 100% in favor of requiring open journal access. With journal access, anyone can contribute to the scientific community (and society as a whole). I made a video, but people can come up with their own questions and try to answer them, such as the question you asked. Watching the projects other people are doing on YouTube, I'm 100% convinced that open journal access would lead to a scientific revolution.
Is there really that much of a difference between LEAD/LAG and OVER+RANGE when using an aggregation function? I'm sure there is, but it has been a few years since I had to deal with some of this.

There are probably also difference between OVER when used in TSQL and PLSQL.

Last time I had to do this was actually with real-time advertising bidding, and it was across keywords, not ticker symbols (many more, much sparser). We had a 20 millisecond budget, and had to break the queries up to at least get partial results to push out bid even if we didn't have all the results back in from the database that we wanted.

We used OVER+RANGE for average price, but needed LAG for first derivative (is the price trending up or down). We had to start doing roll ups of the data hourly and be constantly trimming to keep the real-time performance high enough, but that meant we needed to have have a separate off-line analytical system. Common to do, but still I think it can be done without it if you use the correct tech stack.
